'Thoughts demon or gods'

Last time:

It was a person dressed in black athletic shorts a tight gray dry-fit shirt. With sweat lightly coating his body. As the person drew near she could see what she thought was just blonde hair now had red highlights along with tips the color of blood. Following a bang that fell over his forehead she met his eyes the blue that belong to Naruto Uzumaki.

Akeno's mouth moved on its own letting a name slip out "Naruto?" it was but a whisper but it traveled on air to meet his enhanced hearing.

Said two-tone blonde stopped mere yards away. But he was still close enough to see the beautiful nadeshiko woman standing there bathing in the dim light of the moon. He knew she was there. He could sense her from a block or two away, knowing full well it was out of his way. Naruto went there anyway.

However, seeing her managed to stir feelings he thought he got over since talking with Yasaka and Sona explaining things. It still hurt him thinking about their friendship and the reasons it begun. Brushing aside his inner dilemma he finally gives a reply. "Hello Akeno."

"Ara ara where have you been Naruto-kun? I haven't seen you in nearly two weeks. I hope you haven't been avoiding me." Her smile was as sweet as honey and her words just as so.

Despite the sweet smile on her face, he knew if he agreed he would suffer from her feminine fury. "Of course, not. I've been dealing with family issues." Replied the blonde teen not noticing both parties closing the distance between them.

"I thought you didn't have any family." Akeno's head quirked to the side eyes closing. They were not but a couple feet apart now.

His fake smile fell slightly but returned full force not a moment later. He gave the same response he gave to Sona not too long ago. This caused an uncomfortable silence then it was broken by the look he gave her. It warmed her heart seeing his smile directed at her but something was off about it. In some ways, it seemed forced. He then offered to walk her home. In hope the extra time would allow him to courage to ask the questions he had only partial answers to.

She readily accepted the offer. The two supernatural beings stayed still staring into each other's eyes before the devil of the two turned to her left facing the tori gates with some stairs leading to what he could only assume was a shrine at the top.

"It won't be a long walk." She took a step towards the stairs then scaled them. She didn't have to look at Naruto to see him following her. Now beside her he could ask the question she knew he wanted to ask.

He looked at the many steps in front of her and asked her one question. "Yeah, it has been a while since I walked up these stairs." She just giggled and kept walking.

"I bet you would look great in miko outfit." She outright laughed but quickly covered her mouth with her hand to stifle the laughter. A blonde eyebrow rose in question. "What's so funny." When she turned to him he could see her eyes were closed with a warm smile on her face.

"Ara ara would you like to see?"

Shock went through his body and it showed as he stopped to admired her, then continue up the stairs. Naruto had a lot of things on his mind right now but the foremost one was Akeno Himejima in a white and red miko outfit. And, it was hard for him not to admit it turned him on.

Not much was said after that Naruto following behind doing his best to hid his eyes that followed her forms sway. Arriving at the top he was met with a tradition architecture associated with Shrines in early Japan. He admired how closed off it seemed to be from the city while being so close, in contrast to his home being in the middle of the forest. Akeno stepped in front of him catching his curious gaze.

He had been feeling something odd since they started their accent up the stairs. It had felt like his emotions were doing flip flops. Going from joyful to confusion then relief. The words of Yasaka popped into his head. 'I am an Empath. These aren't all my feelings.' His eyes blinked at Akeno. The proximity increase his turmoil of trying to keep Akeno's emotions from reaching him. And, failed miserable.

'I missed you.'

Naruto was surprised by the thoughts that entered his head then even more by his actions. Leaning forward Naruto placed his chin on the crown of her head. Bringing their bodies close together as his strong arms wrapped around her feminine form.

He didn't know what was going on but he didn't regret it. All the emotions that had been fighting for dominance stopped when he had brought her into a hug. Now he could clearly tell whose emotions belong to whom. Allowing him to calm down, Naruto took the moment of clarity to get his own thoughts together.

'I guess physical contact the strengthens my empathetic ability.' He thought. Naruto frown at his current situation. He did not like how much others emotions had control over his actions.

He tightened the hug revealing in the feeling of Akeno's body. The flare of joy the flew their connection would have brought a smile to his face if not for her and Rias words not repeating in his head blocking them out. "Good night Akeno." He had debate whether or not to put the -chan on her name like normal. Deciding against it.

Naruto released the hug turned and head back down the stairs to the main road. But he nearly broke his stride when he heard the same words come out of her mouth. Along with the words 'Stay, please.' come through his empathic link But, he wouldn't allow her emotions to control his actions anymore tonight.

As he left the shrine he could tell that the proximity definitely effected how strong others emotions felt to him. Naruto could feel Akeno's feelings leave his mind all together as he reached the last step.

The rest of the week went by smoothly he had yet to actual speak with any of Rias' peerage other than Akeno that night. He could tell they were watching him. Especially Rias and Akeno, considering they were all on the same floor of Kuoh. While Akeno had been absent from gym class today, which eliminated seeing her then. She would appear in the hallway he was in, even though their class was nowhere near each other. Naruto didn't have to actively avoid Rias, but he just wanted to make sure they met on his terms. His reason was, if Akeno's emotions had such an effect on him. He wasn't sure if he could handle both her and Rias' at the time.

The bell signifying the end of the day and beginning of the weekend finally rang and he was glad to get out of there.

His plans for the weekend consisted of training, maybe go see Kunou. It had been only a couple of days since he last saw her, he had a feeling she missed him. The thing he was worried about was having to deal with a certain purple haired woman. The thought of her teasing and trying to seduce him caused him to shiver.

Halting mid step at the presence that appeared behind him. Waiting for the person a few steps behind him to speak up. He knew it was a devil. His nose bounced taking in the different smell in the air. 'Koneko'

Naruto turned and he was graced with the appearance of Koneko Toujou. Her blank gaze locked firmly on him as she took in everything about him. Naruto was the first to move coming closer to the whitehaired girl. The distance closed they both unconsciously took a sniff of the air.

His eyes widen in realization. 'She smells like Yoruichi… Koneko, is a Nekomata." After saying her name in his head, he wanted to face palm but quickly forced down that urge. 'Of course she is a Nekomata. It is in her name. kitten." Focusing back on the girl before him waiting for her to speak.

Koneko was thinking along the same lines as she took in his scent. In her head, she was expecting the scent she had come to know in the their relatively short time knowing each other. She was surprised to find it had changed. It had the same foresty scent but with it was a new scent all together. She tried to quickly decipher the smell but she couldn't quite place it. But, somewhere in her mind she recognized it as a predator. Her yellow eyes glazed over as her instincts told her to run as the smell of a being much more powerful than herself registered in her brain.

She would have acted had Naruto not yelled her name. Snapping her out of her primal state. "You okay Koneko?" Naruto asked with a concern expression on his face.

"Yes sempai…" said the younger of the two.

Not in the mood to correct, he just motions for her to continue. Which she did. Asking for him to come to the club house with her. Much like the first time he noted in an annoyed tone. His deliberations were not long deciding to get the conversation with the red-haired heiress over with now rather than later. Naruto looked into Koneko's eyes before replying. "Lead the way Koneko." Following her sempai's orders, she turned on her heel moving towards the Occult Research Club house at the back of the school. Every now and then he could see the younger devil-yokai hybrid glance back at him. confused with her actions remembering the events earlier when she seemed to retreat into her mind and, decided not to ask her about it.

He unconsciously moved to walk beside her. If he was honest it was to make looking at him easier on Koneko. She had to been straining her neck trying to imitate an owl. He noticed her stiffening as he moved next to her but, she seemed to have calmed down rather quickly so he ignored it once again. Looking up towards the old school building he was able to see a flash of red move away from the window of their meeting room. Knowing it was Rias watching him and Koneko. Concentrating he could tell that the entire peerage was present sans Koneko, who was at his side.

It didn't take long for the two to reach the door of the meeting room. The doors were pushed open gaining the attention of all those in the room not that they didn't know he was there or at least in the building. His steps and posture didn't give away the inner disorder that seeing the two at the other side of the room brought to him.

He gave a nonchalant wave as his blue eyes scanned over everyone around the room. Skimming over the two females in the room before scanning the room for the other blonde in the building. Kiba was sitting in the couch beside a brown-haired boy he recognized as Issei. Moving to the couch that was empty he sat down. Naruto choose to ignore the rest of the room. At least that's what he was going to do until the youngest of the room sat beside him. finally, sick of her flinching at every movement he made near her.

His recently crossed arms undid themselves and his left hand found its way into the silver-white locks of the nekomata. Ignoring her and everyone else's reactions for the moment, he moved his fingers delicately to the spot where he knew her cat ears should be. And he scratched.

Rias had seen many things in her young life especially being the Gremory heiress and the sister of one of the Yondai Maou. But the events that just transpired stunned her into silence.

When Naruto enter the room, she noticed his presence had changed. Their proximity over the years despite the recent distance had let her have a pretty accurate feel of his natural presence, or rather lack thereof. In other words, it was a like he had become someone new. But, she pushed that aside. The sight of Koneko Toujou her rook and usually most stoic peerage member was currently doing took precedent over anything else. 'She is purring… Koneko is actually purring. Now she is laying in his lap.' Thought Rias. A part of her mind wanted to be jealous especially when the distance between the two made itself known in her head.

Pulling herself together the Heiress and king of the majority of the room was about to speak when the two-tone blonde did first.

"I'm glad to see you made it out of the park ok Issei. For a while I thought you wouldn't move." His blue eyes slowly drifted from the girl in his lap to the boy across from him on the opposing couch.

Issei was startled that he was talked to first considering Buchou had called the Naruto here but, he took the time to respond nonetheless. "Thank you Naruto-sempai… for your help. I mean." Issei said this with as little of his perverted rage as possible leaking through. Seeing the ever stoic Koneko turned to putty in the teen's hands fueling it.

Using his free hand, he waved off the thanks. "It was the right thing to do." Said Naruto not needing to say anything further to his pervert kouhai. "Hello Kiba."

The grey eyes of Kiba Yuuto had not left his sempai once. So, when the blue eyes of said person focused on him he met them instantly. "Good evening Naruto-sempai." He finished his sentence hesitantly, having heard the growl from deep in Naruto's throat.

"Like I told Koneko call me Naruto... Ok?" Naruto asked in a sickly-sweet smile that reminded everyone of a raven-haired sadist that was currently in the room. Said beauty was now smiling in a way that showed her appreciation for this side of Naruto.

Then it was time for him to address her. Rias beat him to it choosing to respond first. "Hello Naruto-kun. I'm glad you could make it."

Finally, sapphire blue met sea-green and the tension in the room seemed to double. Greeting her in the same way he did Akeno then doing his best to quiet the reruns of what she said all those days ago. Along with the multitude of emotions being released from the people in the room. He absently wondered why he was feeling the emotions now when surrounded by people in class he had no such problems.

Rias on the other hand was trying to figure out why he was acting strange on top of trying to figure out what had changed in him. she decided to begin the conversation with a question that would answer some of her many questions. "Naruto-kun, how has the orphanage been? You were gone for quite some time." She had leaned back and no doubt crossed her legs to get comfortable for their conversation.

"They are fine. To be honest I haven't been this week. So, I will probably visit after I leave here." He said with a slightly raise eyebrow. "why do you ask?" the question quickly followed his first statement.

The question slightly caught her off guard, but she knew it shouldn't. If she was honest she had forgotten exactly who she was interrogating. Naruto had the tendency to be as curious as her if not more. And when questioned he would fire them back just as quickly. "I was looking for you so I went Sona to see if she had seen you. She said you had family matters to deal with." Said Rias having closed her eyes she missed Naruto redirect his attention to petting Koneko. "And, the only 'family' I heard you speak of are the people at the orphanage. Putting two and two together." She trailed off letting Naruto put the pieces together.

He hummed in understanding and the silence returned. Issei for his part was confused to say the least the tension in the room felt as if two parents were fighting secretly in front of their children. And he was the kid.

Naruto was the next to speak. "You. Know I've been in here a couple of times and I didn't quite understand the décor." His eyes roaming the dimly lit room, taken in the Victorian like design. "But now I believe it fits you perfectly." Fully taken in the room his eyes went back to the silver haired teen. She was resting her head and a portion of her up body laid against his leg. The purrs that escaped Koneko's throat vibrated through his leg. 'I wonder if Kunou purrs… Do foxes purr?' he questioned.

"What do you mean, it fits?" the king in the room cocking her head to the side. Unknowingly copying her queen's actions.

"You are an heiress of a wealthy house… one of 72."

"I guess you could say it is an acquired taste." Replied Rias ignoring parts of Naruto's response in hopes they could move on from the current topic.

Naruto hummed once again, paying more attention to Koneko. "Anyway, how have you been Rias? It feels like we haven't talked in months." Naruto response caused the speaker and recipient to flinch.

Rias for the wave of regret that his words caused. While Naruto for similar reasons, as his empathic link allowed said wave to flow through him as well.

"True. It seems that way. Having different schedules makes seeing each other difficult." He didn't say anything which was starting to worry her, not use to him being so closed off. She decided to change the tone of the conversation with a little teasing. "Then again I wonder if you are only saying that so you could slap my butt. Like you did Akeno's."

Her amusement didn't need to be felt he could plainly see it in her face. Naruto sputtered for a second being caught off guard. He turned to Akeno who was giggling with an accusing gaze. "You told her."

Said beauty shook her head no at his question/ statement. "Ara ara ara. I didn't need to. The whole school knew by the end of the day."

He grumbled something under his breath that no one heard. Rias enjoyed seeing some semblance of his normal self-back. "Now I understand why you never showed up that day. You were too embarrassed to see Akeno again. I would have sent her out if it made you more comfortable." Rias and said queen giggled to themselves. This action had them miss the shift in Naruto's demeanor at their statement.

"I did show up to talk to you."

"huh? What did you say Naruto-kun."

Naruto sighed having reigned in his own emotions so they wouldn't be effected by the others. 'I did show up. I finished with the kendo club early. And came here.' He thought to eyes were closed and his body still except the slow motions he was making on Koneko's head. They snapped open locking on Issei. "It doesn't matter. I mean you just added a new member to your peerage. Was it everything you were expecting?" his voice had a playful tone.

The people in the room sans himself were surprised at his use of the word "Peerage". Akeno's eyes widen proportional to her shock. Kiba had nearly spilled his tea on himself. Koneko sat up straight the word managing to snap her out of her cat like state. Rias looked frantic but hid it so he couldn't see her sweat. "Yeah Issei was recently added to the ORC. It has been an interesting couple of days since he joined us." Her monologue was cut off by the blonde red-head speaking once again.

"that's nice considering you wasted three years on someone with nothing special."

Akeno and Rias' faces mimicked each other becoming pale. Doing her best to pull herself together in front of her fellow devils. Rias spoke up. "What are you talking about Naruto?"

Rolling his eyes at the weak attempt to denounce his statement. "I heard your conversation." He could plainly see the realization dawn on his two third year classmates.

Akeno flinched at his look of hurt and betrayal he gave the both of them. But she was also wondering how he got into the barrier without her knowing. "Naruto what I said that day. It is not what you think." Rias said in a tone that didn't match her usually one of superiority and cheerfulness. It was closer to pleading and being distraught.

"If it was a week ago I wouldn't believe you." He turned seeing the raised eyebrow. Obviously in confusion. "I know you all are devils Rias." He said flatly. Inwardly smirking victoriously, he glanced back at the crimson-haired heiress waiting for her response.

"How?"

"Sona. She told me after confronting her earlier this week. Not that it's hard to figure out now…" closing his eyes while everyone present observed him curiously. "Being so close its easy to tell you all have this dark energy around you. So, I understand partially why some of those words left your mouth. But, that's not why I am here is it?" Opening his eye's, he looked at Issei.

"No it is not… Since you know about us. Then you know about the Fallen Angels as well." The red-head ignored the irritation that she couldn't ask her questions about what he meant by 'Dark Energy' but him wanting to stop beading around the bush and the change of subject greatly helped with her thoughts running wild. "What happen after you left Issei in the park?"

Pretending to think about it he could feel Rias' eyebrow twitch at his false contemplation. He heard the almost musical giggle of Akeno who no doubt saw Rias reaction. "Raynare-"

He was interrupted by Issei. "Who is Raynare what about Yuma?"

"That's her real name. Or at least that's what she told me before mouth raping me. Then she put a light spear through my chest." His hand went to the rub the spot where he had been stabbed. Looking towards the others in the room who had expressions ranging from horror to confusion and one person who face showed understanding then anger.

"How are you here?" Kiba choose this time to speak up.

The blonde shrugged. Eyes moving back to the Heiress, inwardly preparing for his true questions. "Rias... I have spent nearly two weeks thinking about the stuff you and Akeno said and to be honest I only have one question. You don't mind if I ask?"

She wasn't expecting for Naruto to know about the supernatural world in such detail. The puzzle of how he got the information was solved when he mentioned Sona. But, that didn't explain how he got her to talk. Rias put that in the back of her mind sighing internally at the fact she has more questions than answers so far.

Her patience was wearing thin seeing the blonde pretend to think. However, it took all she had not to shut down when he said the fallen angel had stabbed him in the chest. So, when he asked her if he could ask a question now all she could do was nod.

He stood up and walked towards the window watched the sun lowering in the sky. He had been thinking about this conversation for a while now and every time it changed. Sighing he opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out. Centering himself with some deep breaths. "Was the reason you befriended me so I could eventually join your peerage?" He spoke these words with the upmost seriousness and everyone in the room understood this. Despite his wording of the question everyone but Issei knew what he really asked. "Did you become my friend to use me?" His tone wasn't the only hint, Naruto seemed to be putting out an aura that didn't belong to some as cheerful as he is.

Rias having never seen Naruto like this. Her best option was to lie to him. knowing full well that the truth would destroy their strained friendship. 'It was at first but you made it more than that… Why even asked this question now? It shouldn't even matter.' The beauty bit her lip, she had just opened her mouth to give him a "no" when he spoke again.

"Don't lie to me! I know you well enough to know if you are." He could practically feel the lie forming in Rias' mind. Naruto had turned around to look his friend in the eyes. His emotions were running wild, he wasn't even sure they were his at this moment. The others in the room that watched him and Rias with rapt attention.

"Yes but-" Rias began but couldn't continue.

Naruto's eyes flicked from the sitting devil to the one situated behind her. Scoffs and turns to leave.

"Naruto wait. Let me explain." She was ignored and even if she was unable to see his face now she knows that their friendship was ruined. That very idea hit her like a physical blow.

Not knowing what was truly going on, so lost in his perverted fury. But, he could see that it was hurting the person who had saved him and that didn't sit well with him. using his new devil speed Issei stands in his way. the anger on the second year's face was evident. Naruto was going to ignore him and just walk around but the pervert proved to a much better obstacle than Naruto first expected. The blonde redhead looked into the eyes of the boy he tried to save all those nights ago with a frown. He spoke just a single word. "Move."

The command seemed to go in one ear and out of the other. Issei had yet to move. He could clearly see the expression on his king's face before she managed to hide it. "What's your problem why are you treating Buchou like this? She is your friend isn't she? So, stop acting like an ass." Issei said his body still in the way of the door.

Again, only a single world left his lips as he moved closer to the brown-haired boy. "Move." This time it was low nearly a whisper.

No one could say Issei wasn't stubborn. But he should have saved it for someone who was in the mood to deal with him. "Not until you apologize for being an ass." As if a flip was switched Naruto's hand lashed out grabbing Issei's collar. Then with strength no human should have he was lifted into the air before flung into one of the spare chairs on the other side of the room.

Silence prevailed for the few seconds after the newest devil's collision. Those in the room were stunned at seeing Issei being flung across the room as if he weighed nothing. It was broken by the only non-devil in the room.

"You want me to say, I am sorry?" his words came out as a snarl his blue eyes almost glowed. Their gaze freezing all occupants of the room in their place. "You don't even understand what she did what they all did." He gestured towards the Rias and her peerage. "I shouldn't expect either of you to understand." He looked at Rias and Issei. "You both have families never known what it's like to be alone. To want a mother's warmth. A father's support. A fucking family that's all I wanted. And these people. Showed up in my life and became just that. Then for me to find out that it was all so she could use me. Fuck that." He turned from them all tears running down his face. The emotions in the room fueling his power. He could feel his chakra raging just beneath his skin, it pushed against the seal in a chaotic fashion. He was trying to calm it down before he revealed his true form, with that in mind he once again took some deep breaths. "I'm glad you thought I wasn't worthy of being in your peerage. Now I know just who you are." 'And what I am.' With his part said he left exiting the club room and not to long after the building.

Issei had groan signifying his ability to move again. He moved to stand before his king. her head was hung causing her bangs to cover her eyes and a majority of her face. Rias had dismissed him and the others. They all wanted to stay and comfort their king but Akeno enforced Rias' command with her own. Once the room was cleared the queen wrapped her arms around her king in hopes of comforting her. They were unsuccessful.

Akeno didn't blame her best friend for crying she too was in tears. Even though Naruto's words weren't directed at her. She could tell that she was included. The two devils retired to the beds in the building Akeno believed it would be a bad idea to leave Rias in her time of need. Despite their varying degrees of sadness, they shared a common thought in their head.

'Will he forgive me/us?'

Issei was trying to get all his thoughts in order. The incident with Naruto hasn't left his mind. 'Buchou said he wasn't a devil. Then how was he so strong…? And, scary.' He shivered remembering the look in Naruto's eyes after he tried to stop him from leaving. Issei shook his head hard getting Naruto and that whole afternoon out of his mind. Looking up he could see the park monkey bars above his head. The metal of the bar seemed sturdy enough, so, with both hands extended he leaped off the ground grasping the metal with both hands.

His plan was to improve his body in hopes of increasing his standing in the devil community and impress Rias. Using as much strength as possible his arms trembled as his brown locks barely passed the bar before the weight became too much for his still sore arm.

It was his fight with freed that had left him wounded even with Rias' quick healing session, it will take some time to heal. So, as his arm finally gave out he fell to his butt with the few children around laughing at him. "Maybe… I am hopeless." Issei whispered this under his breathe doing his best to soothe his arm that seemed worse than before.

Remembering how he was no match for the stray exorcist and would be dead if Asia didn't step in and defend him, only made his mood poorer. 'No. I have to do this… Not only for Asia but for Buchou.' With renewed vigor, he pushed himself to his feet.

"Issei-san?" a meek feminine voice sounded from behind him.

Turning around he saw the girl he had tried to save. the girl that caused a rift to form between him and Buchou. The girl who is the epitome of cuteness. "Asia?" the smile she gave him washed away all the bad that had happened this week.

The two teens spent the next couple of hours together enjoy the sights that Kuoh had to offer. This included Asia eating her first hamburger. The sight of the blonde beauty trying to cut a hamburger with a knife and fork proved too much for Issei as he laughed loudly. Then he was stunned again when he heard Asia had never eaten food with her hands. So, in uncharacteristic fashion Issei explained how to hold and eat the fast food they had choose. Issei was mesmerized by the cute little bite Asia took.

After leaving the restaurant they ended up in an arcade playing games. Which turned out be more explaining games then playing, seeing as everything inside she had never seen before. Asia had wanted a small stuffed animal from a claw game which Issei had to win for her. It took a couple of tries but Asia eventually received her Racchu from him and it hasn't left its spot smothered by her blossoming since.

Not too long ago they arrived at another park. A green glow faded from Asia's hands as they moved back to her lap. She was glad she could do something for all the stuff he did for her today and earlier this week.

Issei had jumped around happy with his healed arm and legs. Smiling at the seated blonde. "Your amazing Asia, You so kind and your sacred gear is amazing. You can heal so many people…" he trailed off wishing his sacred gear did more.

Asia smiled back at Issei truly happy someone appreciated her gifts. "The church did have me heal all sorts of people. For the longest time that is all I knew. Then one day the I found a man injured badly at the front of the church and, I healed him… but the man I came across was a… a demon." She rubbed her eyes steaming any tears that tried to fall from her eyes. "I was branded a heretic because I had the power to even heal demons."

It all clicked at this point in Issei's head. "So, that's is why you had nowhere to go and was picked up by the fallen angels." Said Issei.

Asia nodded then continued. "but I never stopped praying to God, expressing my gratitude. Not to mention I never knew what horrible things they were doing." Her head lowered and the veil she wore hid her face from view. "If I can overcome this ordeal, he will make my dream come true."

"what is your dream Asia?"

"I want to make a lot of friends. Together we'll buy flowers and books, and chat… that's my dream." Her words were spoken in a sad manner. Which was echoed by the fake smile she put on her beautiful face. "I don't have any friends you see." Unconsciously she tightens her hold on the Racchu in her arms.

Issei stood up with a determined look on his face that confused Asia. He spun around to face her with a reassuring smile. "I'll be your friend, Asia. I mean aren't we already friends." Images of their time spent at the arcade, eating at the restaurant, even now spending time at the park. "we are already doing everything friends do with each other. And I consider you a friend so I was hoping you would too."

Asia was truly happy with the words Issei. But she couldn't be friends with him freed and the fallen angels at the church would hurt if not kill him if they found them together. And she couldn't handle that. Issei was showing just how stubborn he can be once again, as he managed to crumble down the weak walls Asia tried to put up to protect him. just when he thought everything was going his way a voice that was all too familiar float in from behind him.

The two teens turned and was greeted with Raynare in all her leather glory. Asia calling her by her true name while Issei still used the one she had given him before their date.

"You are a fallen angel after all Yuma." The brown-haired boy stated as he moved protectively before Asia.

Rolling her eyes she remained floating in the middle of the fountain. "Oh, what gave me a way. the wings. The flying, or was it that I told you during our date." She noticed his fist tighten at the mention of their date. "Then again, you obviously forgot all about me. I mean you're already out on another date… I thought I was specially Issei-kun." She spoke in an overly sad tone, as her hand pulled at the scrunchie she received during their date.

Her eyes sharpen towards Asia regaining the serious tone he had heard only before she had tried to kill him. "Asia, you can't run away."

Shaking her head negatively was not the response Raynare was looking for. Then the low-class devil adding his input didn't help her mood. She was however intrigued to see the sacred gear he had but it only last a second. 'A twice critical… That's what Azazel-sama was so worried about.' Forming a light spear, she asked Asia to return now or Issei would be destroyed.

Not taking too kindly to Asia being threaten Issei tried to double his strength and succeeded. The red bracer glowed slightly then an ethereal voice yelled boost. Issei could feel the strength he had increase by leaps and bounds.

But, just as he had begun to marvel in his new strength a light spear went through his left leg downing him.

"Issei-san!" Asia scream was ignored as another light spear went into his other leg. Ultimately removing the boy's ability to move at the moment. Asia did move and begun to heal him but was stopped when Raynare spoke again.

The black winged angel floated closer to them as she spoke. "Come along little nun, or the next one goes through his head." The vicious grin she gave them spoke volumes on how serious she was. not to mention the other light spear gripped tightly in her hand.

The blonde nun begun healing Issei. The boy was amazed that nearly all the pain had disappeared in a couple of seconds thanks to Asia's healing. Raynare was not amused. "Why are you wasting such a rare sacred gears power on a low-class devil like him. we have other things to prepare for. I won't say this again." Raising her hand prepared to throw her spear again. "come here Asia." Her wings flared out menacingly.

By this point Issei's wounds were healed completely. Standing up he pushed himself forwards in hopes of catching Raynare off guard. "You won't take Asia anywhere she doesn't want to go." The punch proved to be foolhardy. As the fallen angel flew out of the way, causing Issei to fall into the fountain.

Landing on the rim of the fountain with the grace of a dancer. "two times nothing is nothing. Since you seemed to want to die by my hands I will gladly fulfill your last request!" Raynare screamed as the red spear of light moved towards his chest.

"Issei-san!"

Expecting a familiar pain to explode from his chest and back, that never came. Instead the sound of flesh meeting flesh accompanied by the sound of cracking bones enter his ears.

"Geezs, Issei, what is with you and parks. This is the second time I've had to save you… In a park." the voice sounded exasperated. Looking up he saw a head of blonde and red hair standing in the spot where Raynare was not too long ago.

Asia turned back towards Issei, having looked away in fear of her friends impending death. Standing there was another person. She blinked once, twice, then one more time to make sure she wasn't seeing things. "Naruto-san?"

Naruto's eyes widen in realization. "Asia? Is that you?" He moved off the edge closing the distance between them. Seeing the emerald green eyes blonde hair and nun outfit he smiled at her finding the answers to his own questions. "It is you. I wasn't expecting to see you here. At least not with the pervert." He ignored the indignant yell from Issei.

Asia looked down poking her fingers together nervously, mumbling something under her breathe. Only speaking up when he asked her to do so. "Issei-san was showing me around the town since I haven't had the chance Naruto-san."

"So he wasn't doing anything perverted?"

"HEY! I can be a nice guy!" he was shut up by the glare Naruto sent him.

"Well?"

Asia shook her head negatively. "No Naruto-san he has been a gentleman all day. Issei-san even agreed to be my first friend." The two blondes could basically here the victory dancing going on behind Naruto.

Shrugging he uncaringly he then ducked a spear that was flying at his head. Causing everyone to look back at the rubble of what use to be a piece of art. Seeing Raynare coming out looking a little worse for wear. Her left wing seamed to twitch erratically. A bruise was already forming on her cheek where Naruto struck her.

"You!? How are you alive?"

A nonchalant wave was all she got. "Yo. Raynare long time no see." The snarl she let out was not appealing at all. But it snapped Issei back into action as he moved to stand in front of Asia.

"I don't have time to deal with you two. I need to prepare for the ritual, so come along Asia." Extending her hand like the blonde Nun would come to her.

Naruto turned his head slightly to see if Asia wanted to go with the woman he had plans to beat down, and he could see she didn't want to go anywhere near her. And that was all the reason he needed to stand in Raynare's way.

"Issei."

"What?"

Cracking his neck Naruto began to walk closer to the fallen angel. "You think you can take Asia somewhere safe?" his blue eyes swiveled towards the boy who was protecting the nun.

Issei was confused on what Naruto was talking about. When he asked again, Issei finally put it all together. He gave Naruto an affirmative.

During this Asia, had been looking back and forth between the two obviously confused. But when Issei grabbed her arm and begun to pull her out of the park he was her confusion changed subjects. "Issei-san where are we going?"

"We are going to go somewhere safe. So don't worry Asia I will protect you." He smiled at which helped ease her worry. But it returned when she saw Naruto wasn't following, asking about him. Issei gave her a simple answer. "He is going to by us time."

Naruto smiled hearing probably the sweetest soul ever worry about him. if he had the time he would have said something to reassure her. But, Raynare wasn't in a waiting mood. She flapped her wings propelling herself towards her departing target.

She didn't make it half way before the Naruto appeared before her barring her path. She ascended into the air to fly over the persistent boy she had thought she had killed weeks ago. Smiling at her victory as she peaked above him. Purple eyes widen as Naruto appeared before her once again. But, this time he was nearly 40 feet in the air.

The shock only left when she registers his heel was speeding downwards towards her. Unable to move out of the way she pulled her wings before her as a shield. It dampened the blow but did not stop the force of the kick.

She was in the air. Then embedded into the ground, before she could truly understand what had happened. Pulling herself out of her hole her purple eyes glaring at him with pure murder in his eyes. "What are you? You weren't this strong or fast when we first fought." Raynare ground out with clinched teeth

"Now why would I tell you." was Naruto's cheeky reply.

Turning sideways allowed him to slip between the two red lances that flew where his lungs would be. A duck put him in position to dodge the third aimed for his chest. "Why. Won't. You. Just. DIE!" each word was punctuated with another spear the few trees behind Naruto looked much like swiss cheese at the moment.

He was much closer now after letting his opponents rage consume her. She wasn't a bad shot a few of those spears came close to running him through. His speed was greater than her even while still "human". Naruto continued to decrease the distance between him and the enraged Fallen Angel. Making it to only a few feet away when she changed her strategy. The next attack was a swing with the tip of the lance nearly cutting his head off.

Rubbing his neck, he hopped back a couple of feet putting distance between them. "What do you want with Asia?" Naruto asked Raynare.

Looking at him with murder in her eyes and teeth bared at him in anger she refused to speak. 'How did he get so fast and strong. He was human. He obviously isn't a devil. Could he have a sacred gear that activated before he could have died…Yes that's it.' She straightened up her black wings flapped and she begun to slowly increase her altitude. As discretely as possible she scanned the area for her true target. Seeing no other sign of blonde hair besides the boy, she let out a growl.

Snapping her head back down to her main source of irritation after hearing a chuckle. "You growl a lot when you are angry. It would be cute if you weren't wearing that. I mean now you just look like a cheap dominatrix." Informing the falling angel of his opinion of her state of dress prompted another glowing lance to embed itself in the sidewalk surrounding the fountain. "With a fetish for pointy things." That part was mumbled under his breath as he reached for the slowly spear still glowing not a foot away.

Before he could touch it, the spear dematerialized into red particles. He wasn't able to put much thought into it because Raynare had turned to leave.

"I don't have time to deal with you." 'Finding that damn girl is my top priority. Without her I would have waisted so much damn time.' Glancing to a spot on her right wing where a number of her feathers were missing. 'Once I have Twilight Healing, the first thing I do is skin that boy alive.' At this moment Raynare thanked her experience and the boys loud mouth.

"Where the hell do you think you're going? We aren't done here."

His early warning gave her enough time to dodge his swipe for her leg. His descent towards the ground brought her attention to one fact. "He can't fly." Her left eye twitch as she put that together. 'I could have just flown away instead of staying and fighting.' Raynare proceed to do just that ascending until her form disappeared into the afternoon sky.

Watching his opponent retreat didn't feel good. Especially knowing he could have beaten her. But really that wasn't his objective. He wanted to test his abilities in live combat and, to say he was satisfied would have been an understatement. He completely outclassed her in speed and strength. The only downside was his lack of flight. Putting that problem on the back burner he turned to the spot where he put his groceries. Naruto froze. All the bags were perfectly fine except for one, moving closer her dropped to his knees seeing its contents on the ground.

"My…My…My RAMEN!" the tears flowing down his face. The tears of sadness became tears fueled by rage.

He now had a mission, and no one would stop him. "Must. Kill. Black-winged Bitch." Grabbing the unharmed bags, he went to his house before making his way to the old church.

"Ramen First. Then kill black winged bitch." He made a quick U-turn heading back to the store to restock his lost ramen.
