Damn, I didn't think that I would get almost a 100 follows from a single small-ish chapter. The first chapter did well beyond my expectations. Lets see if we can put that fav count over 100 and get the review meter flowing even more this time round. Fingers crossed.

Disclaimer: So I think I didn't put one in the first chapter. So please Fan fiction don't do anything to my precious story. I cannot hope to own Naruto, Highschool DXD or its elements.

Chapter 2: The Special One

XXXXX

Rias Gremory was taken aback. She came from a Noble family, one of the Pillars from the Devil society in the underworld, so she knew strength. However, years of being unimpressed by the human race did not leave her in much doubt of her ability.

There were a few which had the odd sacred gear but even those humans had the weapons of considerable power lying dormant inside them. So when she wanted to dominate any of them, be it with her charm or her power as a high class devil, she could and she would.

The whole Kouh Academy practically hung at her every word and the ground she wandered about was practically worshiped, especially by the male population. So seeing this boy tapping his foot to the ground in impatience irked her. Not only did he rebuff her attempt at her memory replacement spell, he also wasn't enchanted by her beauty. Judging by his demeanor, he wasn't even intimidated by her being a supernatural creature which she knew that he knew that she was by now.

"So with you stopping my attempts at memory magic I gather that you already know about the supernatural world. I gather that you are a magician?"

"What! Those guys that perform party tricks? Like with the bunny and the silly hat?"

Akeno and Rias just looked at the blond like he was stupid.

"If you are not a magician then what are you? No other human being should have the knowledge of cancelling one of my most potent spells."

"Not a magician. I am aware of how people can use energies inside of them and just leave it like that," Naruto scratched the back of his head. By now he had calmed down significantly as he sensed no ill will coming from the two girls.

Aside from the weird way that the black haired girl was looking at him. Was her face flushed?

"Okay so what do you know about the Supernatural side of the world. Tell me what you know and I can fill in the blanks for you."

"Well not much to be honest. I have been living in this town for over a year now and this is the first time I have actually seen or sensed people use their energies near me. Are you some supernatural being..."

"I am sorry, where are my manners. My name is Rias Gremory, of the Gremory Clan. My friend here is Himejima Akeno."

Naruto looked over to the brunette who had by then propped up the brown haired boy to rest by the tree and she waved to him when she heard Rias introduce herself to the blond.

"Uzumaki Naruto at your service!"

Rias gave a nod at finally procuring a name to place to the tan and blue eyed face of the blond, "To answer your question, we are devils."

Naruto's eyes nearly leapt out of his sockets.

"D-devils! Like those nasty creatures I heard about in Sunday School when I was accidentally dragged into it?"

Akeno just gave a huff at that as Rias was also ticked off.

"Typical angels," the only black haired person in the clearing joined in on the conversation, "spreading false information about us. Do we look like some hideous creatures to you."

"Um...no. You guys are absolutely beautiful," Naruto just blurted.

Rias blushed and Akeno just smiled warmly at the compliment. For some reason, the raven haired beauty's smile gave Naruto chills of the wrong kind.

"But it could be an illusion and you could be hiding your true self. Devils are supposed to make deals with humans, subjugate them and then show them their true colors while they devour their whole being. At least that is what that nice man was telling us. He was a bit aggressive though."

And the warm feeling was gone.

"Anyways, do know about the God of Bible at least? You wouldn't be that clueless." Rias asked in exasperation.

"O-of course, I am not stupid!"

For some reason, Rias and Akeno felt that the boy was being too defensive about the stupid thing.

Akeno decided to indulge the boy with some knowledge as despite having a strong supernatural presence of his own, he seemed to be clueless about them, "Well as most of the lore goes, there are three Supernatural factions amongst the Christians. There are Angels, which are created by Gods, Fallen Angels which as the word implies are Angels that fell for their sins and lastly, it is us, which are the Devils."

Akeno then moved past Rias in order to come face to face with the blond who took a tentative step back. He gaped in dubiety when the brunette took one of his hands and started stroking her left cheek with it.

"See. As real as it gets."

Naruto just gulped and retracted his hand as Akeno gave a small pout.

"So how do these three factions work? Are you and Fallen Angels allies against the angels? You don't seem like bad guys, but you could be aligned with them," He asked both of the devils.

Rias continued when she saw that Akeno's shameless attempt to flirt with the blonde fell flat after getting a mild reaction, "The three factions have been at war with each other for centuries and it is only a couple of centuries ago that there was a cease fire."

"I am guessing that would be due to each faction experiencing huge losses?" Naruto ventured. He knew the consequences of war more than anyone. If this one was going on for centuries, he could only imagine the casualties.

Rias and Akeno were both mildly impressed by the astute observation made by the blond. Even though he looked a little lackadaisical when it came to worldly knowledge, despite being coming off as a strong individual, he was surprisingly sharp in dealing with supernatural knowledge.

"You...are right. Foxy-kun" Akeno muttered.

"Stop calling me that! It's Naruto!"

Rias interrupted, "Yes after the deaths some key seraphs, high ranking Fallen Angels and the old Maos it was decided by the higher ups of each factions that if the war continued, none of the Christian supernatural races would survive." Rias explained, "So now with the cease fire, each faction is just in a state of cold war while they replenish their numbers."

"Hmmm..." Naruto closed his eyes and scratched his chin. Making him look like the descriptor Akeno used for him.

"You keep saying Christian Supernatural factions...are there others?"

Akeno and Rias just looked at each other in disbelief. Was this guy living under a rock?

"Yeah, there are youkai which are a group of supernatural beings native to Asia that are mostly animal spirits and part of the shinto mythology,"

Hearing that, Naruto felt his partner stir inside his mindscape. That felt familiar. Kurama was also technically an animal spirit, just with insane amounts of chakra and an unnaturally large size.

"There are some other super natural beings from other mythologies, as well as Gods and Buddhas with divine power from the likes of the Norse, Greeks, Shinto. Even human beings have special groups like Magicians and Heroes which are able to use their abilities against the other supernatural beings should they ever need to."

Naruto was just absorbing all the information that he was being doled out.

For a long time he seriously thought that this world didn't have anything special to offer in terms of strong creatures. Now he is in front of two female Devils who tell him that there are entire factions of these supernatural beings.

"This...is a lot to take in. I am just curious, if there are so many supernatural factions why haven't I encountered any?" Naruto looked at Akeno as his brain was beginning to get fried.

'Hang in there Naruto!'

He got his answer from Rias, "Because there are different dimensions that exist within this world that these beings reside in, especially the ones with divine power. Angels have their dimension called heaven, while Fallen Angels and Devils mostly share the underworld. In the human world, some Angels, Fallen Angels and Devils have territories claimed where the other factions don't venture. This town being under my territory means that you won't likely encounter other supernatural activity. That boy from my school," Riased pointed to Issei Hyoudou, "...Was stabbed by a Fallen Angel. It is a little troubling that they are in this area. It will be investigated and the Fallen Angels here shall face my wrath."

"I guess that would be my answer to why you and Fallen Angels are not allies, I gather both of you are not fond of sharing one of these so called dimensions and territories."

The brunette Yamato Nadeshiko gave a smile at his correct assumption. He was quick on the uptake it seems. She was surprised that the young man was so cordial after his initial hostile behaviour, which she understands now. If she saw supernatural beings for the first time and saw one kill a human, she would be on guard too.

"I am amazed at you Uzumaki-kun! What a hunk!"

"Call me Naruto."

"Whatever you say Uzumaki-kun!"

….

….

"So...now that you have some rudimentary knowledge of the supernatural and how the Christian Factions work, my answer to your original question would be that I revived the boy as a Devil. Before you jump to any conclusions, it was the only way to bring him back." Rias squashed any on coming questions in regards to turning someone. She knew how it sounded and there were examples of humans that couldn't stomach that fact.

"So what? You resurrect him as a Devil and use him as a pawn? How generous of you guys," he started giving a slow mock clap, "You go girl!"

Rias was just flabbergasted by the fact that he used the word pawn, the exact same piece that she used to resurrect the Sacred Gear wielder.

"Uzumaki, I know how it looks like but trust me. Devils are selfish beings and I won't deny that there are devils who treat their servants badly. But...but I treat my peerage members like family. Issei here will be taken care of and brought up to speed with his duties as a Devil."

Naruto just looked at both girls and it seemed like he was trying to ascertain something. Both Akeno and Rias found themselves squirming under the gaze of the blond. It felt like something inside the two Onee-samas of the Kouh Academy craved the approval of this guy that they just met for whatever reason. He just had this charisma about him.

'Kurama?'

The beast sighed from within, 'Your senses are right brat.'

"I trust you."

Naruto just turned and started to walk away.

Both of the devils, shocked at the words, just gaped as the boy trudged along. Rias ran after him in her confusion.

"Wait! That's it? You are satisfied just like that? Where did your suspicion go?"

Naruto kept moving.

"It went like I am going home. I am not going to work now anyways after this," He sighed, "This is a lot to process but I believe you have good intentions even if they are a bit selfish."

Akeno just kept staring at the retreating back of the interesting blond as she saw her King halt in pursuit of the blond.

"Tell us who you are? What you are? How did you stop me if you are not a Magician!?"

Naruto just looked back over his shoulder as he continued walking and gave a wicked smile that made the outline of his face sparkle by the angle of the setting sun.

"I guess I am another one of those special humans."

Akeno made over to the forgotten brown haired boy, picked him up and moved to join the red head, who was still staring with a melancholic face towards the direction in which the blond boy finally vanished.

"Akeno...who was that boy?"

Her Queen prepared a Magic circle to take them to the club room, "Ara ara...I don't know, but he indeed is special."

When Rias looked over at Akeno as she got ready to step into the portal and saw her flushed cheeks, she smiled.

"We do need special people don't we?"

Rias was happy that she finally had two potentially strong members lined up for her peerage after a long time. Maybe the situation wasn't as hopeless as it seemed.

"Indubitably."

After Naruto had gotten back to his small apartment from the day's events, he got busy. He wasn't going to work today so he went ahead, sorted the clothes in his hamper and tossed them in the washing machine.

He usually made some clones to take care of that stuff but he wanted to occupy himself as he tried to process what he had been enlightened with today. It felt like the ninja had learned more significant things about this world today than what he had learnt in the entire year of him dwelling here.

He then prepared his dinner. The blond ninja was finally able to make decent Ramen by himself. It wasn't quite Ichiraku's but it was still better than the Instant stuff that he usually ate at home. As he heated up some left over Karage in his kitchen to compliment his ramen, he heard his laundry being done.

After he ate and did all his chores by himself, which felt like he did after a long while, he sat down at in his small room floor near his bed. Naruto just started meditating as he calmed down and started letting the energies of this world pass through him and extend his senses.

He always felt the taint in the Natural energy and always wondered why the mostly peaceful world had such nastiness to its energy. His incandescent musings were laid to rest by the devils he acquainted himself with today.

The former Toad Summoner was able to purge the energy surrounding him. Naruto knew how to deal with the darkness that came with the natural energy here and he just absorbed it, cleaned it, controlled it and then released a purged form of nature chakra that created a serene environment within the immediate surroundings.

Naruto had actually become a little rusty when it came to his ninja arts as he had admittedly started to slack in that department as this world had very little to offer when it came to powerful beings, or so he thought. However, that meant that his focus had gone to the meditation arts whenever he wasn't tinkering with Fuinjutsu in order to research for a way to get back to his world.

With his effort over that subject dwindled with time, he focused more and more on his abilities as the sage. Sure he still trained here and there. Kept in great shape. The blue eyed boy, was decidedly biased towards meditation now-a-days.

Speaking of finding a way back home.

Naruto suddenly cut off his connection with nature as he got up and moved to the nearest wall. He placed both his hands against said wall, took a breath and started pounding his head against it.

Hard.

As he continued to cause a ruckus for the old apartment complex, Kurama just sweat dropped.

His partner had foolishly forgotten to ask the devils about the space-time magical circle that could further his own Fuinjutsu research on finding a way back. His research had reached a dead-end a few months back. He was apparently swept up in all the new life altering information.

Usually, the mightily-powerful fox-spirit would have berated the blond and gotten a few digs in by now. This time, he just scratched his own chin with a claw, as he also felt embarrassed.

It had also completely skipped the fox's mind.
