Just to be clear, this is my first highscool dxd story whatsoever. I do not watch the anime. Do not read the light novel. Though, I read the great and indulging stories of the authors here. That and the wiki, are my main sources of info.

Try listening to some music while reading this. I got this idea from Kur0kishi.

Play:

Tokyo Ghoul root A ost - Glassy Sky.

Tokyo Ghoul root A ost - The seasons are dying one after another.

Enjoy reading this.

"Naruto-chan. Stay in here and don't come out, okay?"

He nodded meekly as he looked into his mother's beautiful eyes. Her usually strong and unrelenting eyes were now filled with worry as she looked at him and rubbed his back lovingly, in an attempt to calm him.

Without another word, she hugged him lightly and left with a kiss on his forehead. Locking him inside the hidden cabinet. It was only for a second, but he had seen the tell-tale signs of tears starting to pour down from her eyes.

He did not know why his mother was crying, but it was making him sad. He wanted to come out and hug his mother, tightly. He wasn't used to seeing his mother like… this. In such pain and sadness. To him, she was the one person who could do the impossible. She would always be smiling for him, cheering for him, brightening up even the gloomiest of his days with one of her smiles.

Just a minute ago, he and his parents had been having their dinner, with his father having just returned from one of his frequent business trip and desperately in need of his mother's delicious cooking. They had been laughing at one of his stories in which he had pranked the teacher's in his school, when, it happened…

His dad had tensed up suddenly, followed by his mom and everything had ceased. They were not laughing anymore. They were not doing anything anymore!

Then, the next thing he knew, he was being hurriedly ushered to the hidden cabinet, where father kept his books, being told to stay. To hide.

So, he hid. He hid as he heard his father's voice, part desperate and part fearful. His father shouting for his mother. Sound of things being broken. Sounds of someone else, someone unknown, shouting.

He hid there. Covering his ears and shutting his eyes, blocking everyone and everything. His mind had started to think of the worst. He did not know how long he stayed like this. He did not remember when he had fallen asleep. But, when he woke up, dead silence greeted him.

Slowly and steadily, he came out of his hiding spot. Daintily, he made his way downstairs, hoping that whatever had happened, was finished.

As he reached the end of the stairway and got a complete look at the place, he could not help by gasp in fear.

Everything…

Everything was destroyed. For his dad's precious bookshelf… to his mom's antique China collection. Everything was destroyed.

But, this wasn't what had shocked him. The cause of his shock were the three people that lay on the ground. A pool of blood was present under and around them.

On shaky legs, he made his way towards them. As he neared them, he recognised one of them. The person had long, red hair.

He pulled his legs forward. He feared he might collapse anytime. His legs felt as if they were made of stone. He walked on the puddle of blood. Not sparing a single glance at the other two. Not caring if the blood coated the soles of his bare feet.

He just made his way to the third person. His mother…

With a shaking hand, he touched her face. She wasn't breathing, he noted with an empty mind.

His heart was engulfed in a certain numbness. It did not pain. It did not slow. It was just that. Numb.

He did not cry. He did not scream. He was too shocked for that.

What he did, though, was close his mother's eyes with his hand. With a smile, he noted that she seemed to be at peace.

"Well, Well…Lookslike the little rat finally came out of hiding…"

His head snapped in the direction of the new voice. With a horrified look, he saw the new man. Though, his horror was not because of the man but what… Or rather whom he was holding.

It was his father.

The man, who was gleefully smiling at him, held in his hand, his father's head.

"Good! I was getting bored. Now I can play with you!"

That was the last thing he heard, before darkness took him.

"D-D-Don't! Please… don't kill me… Show some mercy…!" A bespectacled man, sporting a big gash across his chest, shouted desperately. The odd thing was, that his wound , which was quite big, was rapidly healing itself.

Why? Because he was not an ordinary human. He was not even a human, at that.

"Don't kill me, you say?" A figure stepped out of the shadows. He wore a simple business suit, complete with the shoes. Only missing thing was a tie. In his right hand, held held a weapon. A wakizashi, to be precise. The shiny metal gleamed as drops of blood fell from it's tip. Holding his weapon forth, the dark clad figure addressed the bleeding devil. "Okay." He watched as a shocked yet hopeful expression presented itself on the devil's face. This will be so fun to crush. "But, on one condition."

"A c-condition…?" The devil asked, while still laying on the ground. "What condition…"

The figure smiled. In other circumstances, it would have been perceived as kind one. "Simple. I will not kill you… if you do so yourself." His smile widened as he saw the smallest amount of relief on the devil's face, change into completely of shock. With a flick of the wrist, the wakizashi embedded itself of the wooden floor, beside the devil.

"What!" The devil shouted. He was now bewildered by what his attacker said. Then, the bewilderment turned into rage. He glared at the blond haired figure. Who the hell is this kid! First, he barges in my mansion and kills all my bodyguards. Now he wants me to kill myself! This sick son of a bitch!

The devil had been shocked at how suddenly and soundly it had happened. One second, he was in his mistress in his bedroom and the next second, his guards came flying in with their throats slit. The next thing he knew, his mistress was dead and he was flying through the room with a wound.

The boy had not felt like a fallen. He had not felt a like an angel either. This boy had not felt like any kind of supernatural. So, that had only left exorcist. But, the blond seemed to be missing the slight holy aura that exorcists seemed to carry. All in all, the boy felt like normal human.

But, that did not seem to be right. A human should not have been capable of what this boy had just done! Not move with that speed! Not kill his guards! Not anything!

"You're wasting my time, you know." The blond boy said, shaking the devil out of his thoughts. "If you don't wanna off yourself, then fine. I'll do it for you."

"No! I'll do it!" The man interjected. He held the wakizashi beside him and easily dislodged it from the floor. Gears started turning in his head as he looked at the weapon intently. It was just an ordinary weapon. He could not sense any holy energy from it, if it had some in the first place. I was right… This wakizashi is nothing special. That's why the wound of my chest didn't give that burning sensation which holy weapons give. His eyes trailed to the now nonexistent slash, that was now completely healed. But, then why…? How was this human weapon able to injure me that much? A devil.

Frowning, he tightened his grip on the small blade and looked the blond figure. Now's my chance! Jumping back, he distanced himself from his attacker and now stood at the far side of the room. "Whatever or whoever you are, you've made a big mistake." He said and channeled his power. His figure was now illuminated in a pale blue light as his demonic power soared higher, giving him a newfound strength. "This is your end, human!"

Pushing his legs, he propelled forward, full prepared to skewer the pitiful human on his own blade. For a second, it appeared as if he had vanished.

Then, he appeared. Mid air, above the human and brought the weapon down on his head.

But, his eyes widened when his wrist itself was caught from moving any further.

"They never learn, do they." The blonde figure murmured to himself. His eyes shined with mirth as he looked at the devil, who was caught by him in mid air and had his blade a mere inch over his head. "Let's continue with the original plan, shall we?" He said with a calm smile. Then, he squeezed the devil's wrist. This resulted in the loosening of the man's grip on the weapon and it dropped from his hand.

"Eto." The blond teen swiftly caught the Wakizashi, while still holding the devil's wrist. Then, he swung.

"GYAAHH!" The devil screamed while falling down on the ground. Enraged and agonised, he venomously glared at the blond. "You bastard!"

The attacker walked towards him. His stride slow and relaxed, but at the same time, poised and striking deep fear in the devil's heart. He stopped in front of the fallen devil. "You seem to have a lot of trouble standing today. Need a hand?" He asked with a twisted smile as he offered the devil his own bleeding lump of an arm. "No? Don't want it? Oh well…" He threw the arm away and smiled at the injured devil.

"Now what should I do with you…" He trailed off. Then, he raised a boot clad foot and brought it down hard upon the devil's already bleeding arm, that had been severed off from the elbow region.

He took great pleasure in the man's screams. It was like music to his ears. Like, he was tasting one of the rarest delicacies or listening to one of the greatest symphonies in the world.

"P-Please… Spare me…" The man sobbed. Tears were spilling from his eyes. "Think about my wife… my son… please… my… family…!"

The blonde figure did not stop smiling, however. "Family? What is that, some kind of food?" As if he would think of the man's family! This was the same man who had destroyed countless other families, had many children kidnapped only to be sold in slavery or for experimentation. He would not spare this one. He never did. "Well, let me answer to your plea this way." He cleared his throat. "The number you're trying to reach is currently unavailable. Please stay on the line or call again later."

"W-Who are y-you?"

"Me? I'm just an ordinary human!" With that, he swiped across the devil's neck, separating the head from the body in a single cut. Some of the blood had covered parts of his face and he was fast to wipe them off with his handkerchief. He took his wakizashi and wiped it clean on the dead man's expensive suit. Sheathing his weapon back, he stood up and took out his phone.

A few seconds later, someone picked up.

"Yes?"

"The job's done. I want the payment transfered to my account soon. No delays like last time."

"Got It! Anything else, your highness?" The voice oozed with sarcasm.

"I'm going to Kuoh. As our deal stated."

"No."

"No! What do you mean 'no'?!"

"No means no."

"We had a deal! I do this mission and then I'm free to do my side project!" He seethed.

"Naruto. Try to understand. What you're are doing is really dangerous."

"Isn't it always, Kakashi?"

"Don't you realise! This is the sister of Lucifer AND the sister of Leviathan we're talking about! If anything goes wrong then we'll have the whole Underworld upon us."

"I thought it was only me, not 'We'."

"Don't. Just don't."

He was quiet. So was his boss, on the other line. Then…

"Just do me a favour, okay."

"No promises, though."

"There a new mission, in Kuoh. I'll send you the specifics later on."

"Anything else?"

"Stay safe."

He did not need to be a genius to know which on was his mentor asking as a 'favour'. "…Okay."

Then, the lines went dead.

Naruto took a last glance at the dead devil and started walking away. He had a plane to catch. "Poor bastard. Didn't even knew that it was his wife who had ordered the hit. Well, whatever." Indeed, the wife had suspected him of having a mistress. Although, it was not uncommon amongst devils to have a harem or multiple mistresses, it needed to happen with the consent of the lady of the house. Sadly, it did not happen in this case. He had not qualms with carrying out this mission. It was already known that the man ranran illegal auctions. Plus, the pay was also decent.

"Well, they do say Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."

Bored ceruleans took in the various attractions that the night brought with it, passing by. Teenagers… boys and girls walking together, hand in hand and laughing at lame jokes, enjoying their date without any care of the world. Cars… people of all kinds going about, busy in their own life, without any care of the world. Families… parents walking together with their young ones, smiling, laughing, enjoying life while they can, without any care of the world.

Family…

Naruto allowed himself to smile at that. He had sometimes thought about how his life would have been had his parents been alive. If they had not been attacked that night. Sure, the pain was unbearable in the beginning, but, he had now learned to deal with it. Though, it did not mean that the pain was any less. It just meant had he had learned to buffer it to a small degree. It also helped knowing that because of him, many other families were living in peace.

Someone has to sacrifice their sleep, so someone else can slumber peacefully. The blond teen thought with empty, half-lidded eye. He had drilled into his mind that it had been for better. Losing his parents, that is. Because of that, he had become powerful. Because of that, he had been able to save countless people by killing countless others. Because of that, he had learned to trust no one.

Closing his eyes, he relaxed back in his seat, trying to calming his mind as the driver took him to the airport.

"Kuoh, huh? I can't wait." He murmured. Then, his eyes narrowed. The fuck's a Seraph doing here… Though, the presence was gone as soon as it appeared. Come to think of it. I did feel something similar at that devil's mansion. He did not worry a bit. Angels, especially Seraph, rarely did anything without a concrete reason.

For now, he enjoyed the jazz playing in the car.

Blue eyes watched as the car sped away. The person of their interest sat inside, completely relaxed.

Without a word, the person spread their white wings, all six pairs of them and flew away.

Yo! This is first highscool dxd and Naruto crossover. This one was short, though. Kind of an introductory chapter. Others will be longer. Somewhere between 5k-7k words.

Leave me lots of review. Criticism is wholeheartedly welcomed.

Until next time.
