A/N: I wanna start off by saying to those of you who follow "The Fox Sage and the Crimson Princess" that I'm in no way stopping that story; this is just something that I wrote a couple years back and figured I'd put it out there and see if it's worth picking back up. Even if I do decide to continue this story, "The Fox Sage and the Crimson Princess" will still take priority over this one.

EDIT: Just realized all of my line breaks were missing, but I put them back in.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Chapter 1: The King Emerges

It seemed to be a normal day just like any other as a pair of blue-green eyes watched the familiar scene of students walking about the schoolyard before class started. It had become somewhat of a habit to kill time before homeroom by watching over them from the second-story window of the old school building. The eyes belonged to one Rias Gremory; a third year student of Kuoh Academy. She was currently wearing the academy's uniform which consisted of a white, long-sleeved, button-down shirt with a black ribbon on her shirt collar worn under a black shoulder cape and a matching button-down corset. The uniform was completed with a magenta skirt with white accents and brown dress shoes. She turned to leave when the first bell rang signaling for the students to get to their homeroom classes, but stopped when she caught a glimpse of someone she had never seen before.

Walking gracefully through the front gates was a boy that stood out among the rest. Rias couldn't tell what drew her attention the most; whether it was the aura of nobility he exuded, the flowing silver hair that went down to his lower back or those piercing eyes of blue-grey that were reminiscent of steel. Everyone who was still moving about immediately stopped what they were doing as he entered and watched him with looks of awe. He was wearing a somewhat altered version of Kuoh academy's uniform which consisted of a black blazer with silver accents over a long-sleeved grey shirt, instead of the usual white, with black highlights. The usual ribbon was replaced by a black tie with a strange symbol embroidered in silver, matching black pants, and black dress shoes.

Rias was curious when he suddenly stopped walking, until his head turned slightly and he looked in her direction out of the corner of his eye. She quickly stepped away from the window and all the boy saw was a flash of beautiful crimson hair. Turning back towards the school building, he began walking again as if nothing happened. Once he entered the building, everyone else began walking and talking again as if some sort of spell had been broken. Needless to say, rumors quickly began to spread throughout the academy about the strange newcomer.

"Okay, everyone settle down. We have a new student joining us today who just transferred from overseas so make sure you all make him feel right at home," the teacher announced as the students sat down and quietly whispered amongst themselves. The boys all hoped it was a cute girl while the girls hoped it was the prince-like boy they had heard rumors about that morning.

At least one group wasn't going to be disappointed.

After the teacher called out for him to enter, the door slid open to reveal flowing silver hair and the room went dead silent as he made his way to the front of the room slowly. Putting his right hand to his chest, the boy gave an elegant bow to the class as he spoke. "It's a pleasure to meet you all, my name is Naruto Belial; I look forward to our time together." A soft smile crossed his face as he stood back up. There was a brief moment of silence before the class erupted; all of the girls began showering him with questions like what his birthday was, where he was from, if he had a girlfriend, if he would go out with them, etc. The boys all grumbled and hung their heads in defeat.

Rias on the other hand, didn't hear a word anybody had said after his introduction. The name "Belial" kept running through her mind as she locked eyes with the boy in front of the class. Now that she could see him much closer, she couldn't help but admit that he was incredibly handsome. The silver hair face combined with those piercing eyes of blue-grey really made his graceful facial features stand out; his body seemed to fit him perfectly as well. He wasn't extraordinarily tall, but he wasn't short by any means either standing at 5'11". It was difficult to tell through his uniform, but there were definite hints of an athletic build. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard the teacher's voice again.

"That's enough everybody; you may take the seat by the window in front of Gremory-san, Belial-kun." Naruto gave the teacher a short bow before walking to the indicated seat. Stopping in front of Rias, Naruto once again put his right hand to his chest and gave a bow.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Gremory-san; I believe we will get along quite well," he said smiling softly as he stood up again. Rias got out of her seat and gave a short bow of her own. "Likewise, Belial-san; if you're free later, would you mind if I gave you a tour of the campus?" Naruto replied with "I would be honored," before both of them took their seats. The entire class was completely dumbfounded by the whole thing and, once again, rumors began to spread.

"So, would I be correct to assume you are related to Diehauser Belial?" Rias asked as her and Naruto walked through the halls of Kuoh academy. The day had gone by rather quickly and once the final bell had rung, letting them know school was over for the day, Rias immediately told her friend and classmate, Akeno Himejima, to go on without her as she left the room with Naruto. Amazingly, the entire school was already ablaze with rumors about the new student. It came as no surprise that Naruto was already being called one of the academy's princes; nor was the large amount of fan girls in any way shocking. The fact that everyone seemed to believe the two of them were a couple already however, that was a bit ridiculous.

"That is correct; I am the son of Diehauser Belial and supposed next head of the Belial family." Rias raised an eyebrow at the 'supposed' part, but decided to continue and come back to that later; there were so many other things she wanted to know. The thing that was bothering her most…was that she couldn't sense him at all; it was as if he were just an ordinary human.

"Why does nobody know about you? And why can't I sense you at all?" Naruto's smile widened and he chuckled softly. He knew that was coming and was curious to see how she reacted to what would happen next.

"Your second question is the answer to the first. Nobody knows about me because they can't sense me. When I was born, my mother felt it would be safest if I grew up in the human world with few people knowing of my existence. If you'll follow me I can demonstrate why." Naruto slid open a nearby window and jumped out. With her curiosity winning over her apprehension, Rias followed him until they were a fair distance into the nearby woods.

"Okay, so why did your mother think you would be safer in the human world?" Rias grew more confused when Naruto just started chuckling and shook his head. "I never said it was because it was safer for me; though I suppose that would be true in a sense." Naruto constructed a barrier around them before he reached up to remove the silver cross-shaped earring he was wearing which Rias had not noticed previously and suddenly Rias found it difficult to breathe. Her knees felt weak and she struggled to keep from collapsing as the area was filled with Naruto's presence.

"You see, I was born with an unusually large amount of magic that I am still unable to control properly and most find it difficult to be near me if I don't keep it suppressed," Naruto finished as he replaced his earring and the weight of his presence was gone again. Rias took a few deep breaths before standing upright again. Her knees still felt a bit shaky and she didn't know what to say. This boy, who was the same age as her, seemed to have nearly as much power as her brother's wife; and she was Ultimate-class!

"You..what..how do you have that much power?!" Rias finally managed to get out as she got her breathing under control again. Naruto just looked at her and shrugged. "I've just always had a large and potent reserve of magic, but all the power in the world doesn't account for much if you can't control it. I can barely cast a spell without blowing myself up; and let me tell you, having a big-ass fireball blow up in your face is not fun." Rias couldn't hold back her laughter as she imagined the boy being charred by his own fire. The sound of her laughing made Naruto smile as he watched her closely.

"You have a cute laugh." Rias stopped laughing when she heard the compliment and turned back toward the school to hide her blush. Clearing her throat, Rias motioned back towards the school.

"Now that that's out of the way, how would you like to meet my peerage?"

A short while later, Naruto found himself in the old school building where Rias's peerage congregated under the cover of the "Occult Research Club".

"This is my queen and best friend, Akeno Himejima. I'm sure you recognize her from class though," Rias said as she stood next to a girl with violet eyes and long black hair tied back into a ponytail with an orange ribbon. The raven-haired beauty and Naruto both gave short bows as they introduced themselves. "This is my bishop; Asia Argento," Rias introduced the blonde-haired girl who smiled and gave a short bow which Naruto returned. Before Rias said anything else, the young blond boy in the room stepped forward and held out his hand.

"Nice to meet you, Belial-senpai, my name is Yuuto Kiba and I am a knight of house Gremory." Naruto smiled and shook the younger boy's hand. "It's nice to meet you as well Kiba-kun; I look forward to working with you." Kiba nodded his agreement with a smile and returned to his place by the window.

"And this is Koneko Toujou, my rook." Naruto and the small white-haired girl locked eyes for a short while before Naruto's eyes seemed to light up and before anybody even noticed him move, he had apparently picked Koneko up in a hug. "It is a pleasure to meet you Koneko-chan; you are absolutely adorable." Koneko's eyes were wide in confusion with a slight dusting of pink on her cheeks not knowing how to react in this situation. Once Naruto set her down, she eyed him warily before picking up a cookie and nibbling on it. Rias raised an eyebrow at the somewhat unusual display, but before she could say anything, the door to the room suddenly burst open to reveal her pawn panting like he just ran a marathon.

"Buchou, is it true that you're engaged to the prince of Denmark?!" the brown haired boy yelled out as he entered. Naruto held the bridge of his nose and shook his head with a sigh. "Honestly, who keeps coming up with all these rumors? I've never even been to Denmark." Kiba, Akeno, and Rias laughed a bit at that knowing full well how absurd the rumors in their school could be.

"So out of that the only thing that stuck out to you was that they said you were from Denmark?" Rias asked with a giggle. Naruto just shrugged and turned to address the boy that was staring at him. "Nice to meet you, my name is Naruto Belial," he said with a bow. The look of total confusion on the boy's face almost made him laugh.

"Hi, I'm Issei Hyoudou. Are you a new member of Buchou's peerage or something?" Rias waved him off and cleared up the misunderstanding. "Issei, Naruto is the heir of the Belial family; one of the 72 pillars. He just transferred to Kuoh academy this morning and I was introducing him to everybody." Issei let out an "oh" as he looked the silver-haired devil over. Then he realized something.

"This is the prince of Denmark you're engaged to?!" Naruto facepalmed while the others laughed. "That's just a rumor, Hyoudou-kun. Gremory-san and I are not engaged, nor are we romantically involved in any other fashion. Also, I came from England; not Denmark."

"Speaking of which, do you have a peerage back in England, Belial-san?" Naruto nodded his head and pulled out a small black case to show that would normally contain ones evil pieces to reveal a bishop and two pawns. "My queen traveled to Japan with me, but stayed home to take care of a few things and should be enrolling tomorrow; the others should be arriving throughout the next week or so." The others nodded as they wondered what kind of people would be in Naruto's peerage.

"I believe we have another guest." Rias nodded and before there was even a knock on the door, she called out to them. "Come on in, Sona." The door opened to reveal the student council president and several other members of the student council. Sona immediately noticed the stranger in the room and turned to greet him.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Sona Sitri and this is my peerage." Naruto smiled and bowed. "It's nice to finally meet you, Sitri-san; Serafall has told me quite a bit about you." There were mixed reactions of confusion and surprise throughout the room at the mention of Serafall; most notable of which being how Rias's eyes widened with her mouth slightly open.

"You know Serafall-sama?" Rias questioned. Naruto nodded and held back his laugh, though the grin showed he was clearly amused by the reaction before turning to Sona. "Oh, forgive me, Sitri-san; I forgot to introduce myself. I am Naruto Belial; your sister used to visit me quite frequently when I was younger and told me all kinds of stories about her cute little 'So-tan'," Naruto explained causing Sona to blush slightly in embarrassment. One of the members of her peerage took the exchange the wrong way and stepped in.

"Hey punk, show some respect; she's the heir of the Sitri family, not some weak-ass grunt like you." Sona's eyes went wide and she slapped the boy upside the head. "I apologize for my pawn's behavior. He will be punished later," Sona said as she bowed.

"W-what? Punished for what? He's the one who should be apologizing! Why should you bow to some low-class piece of-" he was cut off by Sona's hand covering his mouth tightly. "Saji, he's the heir of the Belial family and the son of Diehauser Belial; the undefeated rating game champion." That certainly caught everyone's attention; Saji instantly went pale as a sheet.

"It would seem Serafall actually does talk about people besides you, hahaha. I meant no disrespect to your king, pawn-kun. Her sister is one of my closest friends and I've always been interested in meeting the sister she talks about so much." Tired of being confused, Issei finally decided to open his mouth. "Who is Serafall?"

"Would you like to find out?" Naruto asked with a smile as he pulled out a piece of paper with a summoning circle drawn on it. As the circle started to glow Sona yelled out "NOO!" but it was too late. Before anybody even saw what came out of the circle, Naruto was tackled by a pink blur.

"Naru-tan!" Everyone stared dumbfounded as Naruto laughed and hugged the small girl that clung to his chest. "It's good to see you too, Sera-chan; have you been behaving?" She nodded her head and nuzzled his chest before looking around and seeing where they were. Sona had a look of dread on her face when her sister turned in her direction. She had long, black hair tied in twin ponytails and violet eyes. She wore a pink magical girl outfit complete with a magic wand and, although her breasts were somewhat large, she had a rather child-like body.

"So-tan!" she yelled as she ran to her sister and clung to her. Sona pinched the bridge of her nose and shut her eyes tightly. "Hello, onee-sama." Nobody knew what to say in this situation; they just watched as Serafall clung to Sona and acted like a five-year-old while Naruto did his best to hold back his laughter. Rias was staring at him like he had two heads and just couldn't figure the silver-haired boy out. As soon as he started talking about Serafall it was like his personality completely changed. Which one was the real heir of Belial?

"Okay, c'mon, Sera-chan; your sister had something to discuss with Gremory-san," Naruto said as he stood up and brushed himself off. "Awwww, but I wanna play with So-tan some more," Serafall whined. "Sera. Now." Naruto said in a firm voice.

"Okay," Serafall said with a pout. Sona's eyes widened as her sister walked over to the commanding heir of Belial. "…I want him," Sona muttered to herself.

Naruto gave her a pat on the head and smiled down at her. "Tell you what, while they talk, we'll go get some ice cream, okay?" Serafall called out "yaaaay" and jumped onto Naruto's back. Naruto held onto her legs and walked to the door. "We'll be back later/Bye bye~" Naruto and Serafall called out respectively before leaving the room.

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…what the hell just happened?"

"What?! She's seriously one of the four great Satans?!" Issei and Saji were both completely bewildered. After discussing what Sona had originally wanted to talk to Rias about, Rias and Sona explained who Serafall was to those who didn't know as well as what they knew of the strange silver-haired boy. "Correct. Serafall is my older sister and the current holder of the title Leviathan."

"So what's the deal with her and the new guy?" Rias turned to Sona since she had no idea how they knew eachother. Sona adjusted her glasses and looked thoughtful for a moment before she started explaining what she knew.

"I don't know how they actually met, but the first time she mentioned him was about ten years ago. Ever since then, he's been just about the only person she ever told me about. She would always come see me when she returned from visiting him in England and pester me with stories about everything they did while she was there; treats he would get her, things he liked and other nonsense."

Some of Sona's peerage along with Issei weren't really paying attention, but most of Rias's peerage at least seemed interested. "He has certainly begun to draw my interest," Sona said with a thoughtful look. Her peerage was surprised to hear that and Saji vocalized the question they all had. "Why?"

"Mainly because he is the only person I have ever seen my sister listen to like that, but also because of his goal." Rias nodded knowing how difficult Serafall could be and leaned in closer because she was extremely curious to learn what exactly his goal was. "According to my sister, he is extremely determined to take the title of Beelzebub."

"He wants to be one of the four great Satans? Is he really that strong?" Kiba asked; he was genuinely interested in how powerful his new acquaintance was. It was Sona's turn to look to Rias for answers. She had no idea how strong the boy was.

"Well, I don't-" Rias was suddenly interrupted. "Of course he is! Naru-tan is really really~ strong!" Serafall yelled out as she entered the room on Naruto's shoulders.

"We're not interrupting are we? We can leave if you're not done yet," Naruto asked. Rias smiled at the sight of the great Leviathan sitting on her classmate's shoulders eating ice cream as she shook her head. "No, we're finished. Actually, perhaps you can help us. We both have peerage members who need familiars and it's almost that time of the month," Rias explained.

"Oh, I see the problem. Eat your ice cream quickly before it starts dripping on me, Sera-chan," Naruto paused to look up at the girl on his shoulders. She smiled and nodded and he turned back to Rias. "There's an easy solution to your problem," Naruto began gaining the two heiresses attention. "Just have one of your familiars go to the store and get tampons for everybody." Sona sweatdropped while Rias's head fell forward onto the desk.

"Not that time of the month you idiot!" Rias yelled while Naruto and Serafall laughed. "Sorry Gremory-san it was just a joke; I couldn't resist." Rias sighed and shook her head.

"I do have an idea how to decide fairly though." Everyone turned their attention to him and Rias motioned for him to continue. "A hunt; the first team to catch Sera and I wins. Sitri-san's team has more members, but Kiba is faster than them; no offense." One of the student council members scoffed and Naruto assumed it was a knight. "How the hell would you know who's faster? You've never seen any of us run." Naruto smirked.

"Let's just say I have enough experience to tell by looking at you all and leave it at that. Of course, if you're so sure I'm wrong you could always just settle it with a footrace." There was some grumbling and the others all talked it out for a moment before someone decided to ask another stupid question.

"Won't this be too easy though? You two don't look all that fast." Naruto and Serafall looked at eachother for a moment before they started laughing. This caused Sona to raise an eyebrow because she knew exactly how fast her sister could run and she definitely wasn't fast enough to outrun their knights.

"Too easy? I'm more worried neither of you will win. Also, you guys seem to be misunderstanding something; it doesn't matter how fast or slow Sera is, because she won't be moving from where she is right now."

"…"

"…"

"…"

"You mean…you're going to try and outrun us…with her on your shoulders?" Naruto shook his head slowly with a smirk on his face. "Nope; I'm going to outrun you with her on my shoulders."

"…"

"…"

"…"

Most of the people in the room started laughing while Rias and Sona looked at eachother. They weren't going to make the mistake of underestimating their opponent and were somewhat ashamed that their peerages were. The only ones not laughing were Koneko, Kiba, and Sona's queen, Tsubaki.

"Mou~! Stop underestimating Naru-tan!" Serafall pouted with her cheeks puffed out. "It's okay Sera-chan, that'll just make it more entertaining for me," Naruto said as he patted the girl's thigh.

"So, what do you say?"

"Are you positive you wanna give me a head start? That 5 seconds is really gonna hurt your chances. At least let Sera ride on my shoulders instead." Everyone was standing just at the edge of the forest surrounding the academy getting ready to start the game to decide which group will be able to get their familiars this month. The objective was simple; first group to tag Naruto or Serafall wins. Naruto had Serafall on his back and they weren't allowed to leave the forest.

"Stop acting like a hotshot and just go already!" Saji yelled out. Naruto just shrugged and held onto Serafall's legs to make sure she didn't fall. "If you insist; good luck," he said with a mock salute, before instantly disappearing.

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…What the hell?! I didn't even see him move!"

"This is what happens when you underestimate your opponent. Okay, stick to the plan. Go!" Rias said with a sigh as they all took off into the trees.

"Hahaha, go faster Naru-chan, faster~" Sera laughed as Naruto moved quickly from tree to tree. Naruto chuckled and shook his head. "If I go any faster they'll never catch up, Sera." Sera tightened her hold on him and whispered huskily in his ear, "and that's a bad thing?" Naruto shivered when she licked his ear and he laughed more. "You're terrible, you know that?"

"I can't help it, I haven't seen you in months; I've missed you," Sera said as she rested her head on his shoulder. Naruto sighed as he rested his head against hers for a moment.

"I know, Sera; I've missed you too, but you have responsibilities as Leviathan that have to come first." Sera shook her head. "I don't care; Grayfia can take my title." Naruto stopped for a moment and turned to look at her.

"We've been over this, Sera; you can't give up your title for selfish reasons like that. Just be patient, the knight will rescue the princess soon enough." Naruto joked as he leaned in and lightly pressed his lips against Sera's in a chaste kiss. "Hmph, I'm a magical girl not a princess," she mumbled against his lips before kissing back. Naruto chuckled and kissed her cheek before turning around and moving through the trees again.

I know, but princess works better for the analogy."

"Buchou, it's been three hours already and we've barely managed to catch a glimpse of him; can't we just call it a day?" Issei asked as he leaned against a tree panting. Rias sighed as she looked at the setting sun. She didn't want to admit it, but Issei had a point. They were completely outclassed.

"What's wrong, giving up already?" "I told you not to underestimate, Naru-tan." Rias looked up to see Naruto standing on a tree branch about 20 feet above them; and he didn't even look the least bit tired!

"I give up! You're a damn monster; how can somebody do this for three hours without even breaking a sweat?!" Naruto and Sera laughed as he dropped to the ground.

"This might come as a shock, but it's not the first time I've been called a monster," Naruto laughed more. Rias noticed that Sera flinched slightly at the comment, but thought it best not to ask.

"By the way, Sona's group gave up like an hour ago so, technically, I guess we can call it your win." Rias stared at him for a moment trying to make sure she heard correctly. "So you're saying…we've been killing ourselves…chasing you all over the damn place…for an hour…for no reason?" Naruto nodded. "Yeah, pretty much."

"Why the hell didn't you say something sooner?!" They all yelled. Naruto just laughed. "Cause this way was waaaaay funnier," he said still laughing as he jumped back to avoid a fist aimed at his face. "See you tomorrow!" He called out as he took off into the trees again with the sounds of his and Sera's laughter echoing through the forest.

"…I hate him so much right now," Rias groaned and the others just nodded.

A/N: This seems like a decent enough stopping point for now, so I'll leave it at that. Just a quick note; Naruto will have a small harem and I gave a bit of a hint as to where his preferences lie.
