She who knows all, alongside her husband, the Sage of the Six Paths, saved both worlds from their mother, hell bent on destroying the Sage's world after 'her' power was spread. Now, millennia's later, their first two, their Sun and Moon, finally having come together, traveled to their mother's side, intent on saving it from their ancestor's wrath just as they did their fathers.

Rikudo, Path to enlightenment

Sealing. A powerful skill created for powerful reasons. Created by the one known as 'She who rules all'. Using her indescribable, absolute eyes, she created life, sealing the once doomed world after she and her husband, had finally defeated their mother who had caused the cataclysm.

Sealing the immensely powerful destruction that gained form into a space-time immeasurable even by her, the end-time. She, along with her husband, the 'Sage of Six-Paths', recreated the world, in the image of their own world parallel to the current one protected by the everlasting Dreamer and the unrelenting Infinite.

Having children of their own, 'angels' they called them. Having created them to watch over their first children, as her husband had returned to his world, the humans who were brought back by the Dreamer after being wiped out during the clash with their all-powerful mother.

'Watch over them, even if they do wrong, watch over your little brothers and sisters, show them the right way. Leading them, guiding them to a better future.'

The pure destruction they had sealed away, she who rules all, she knew. She knew it wouldn't stay sealed away forever. She knew she would have to give her life for the planet, to save it from the cataclysm that would be unleashed if it had ever broke free, she would power the seal with her life. And she could see through teary eyes, when it would have to be done, even as she held the first angel in her arms, knowing what his role, the Lightbringer, would play in the grand scheme.

Once upon a time, they were pure, beings of the purest white and gold and silver, living by the light, no shadow came in existence. Never did they lie, nor steal nor cheat. They lived Glorious lives with their mother, their brothers and sisters.

It wasn't until their mother's oldest, strongest and wisest, her wayward one, the Lightbringer, did it begin. A single argument, a single sentence, and the ebb and flow of time changed. The seed of darkness was born as the light brought by the Morningstar dimmed.

No longer was he pure, pure of the white, gold nor silver. He was a being of tainted light, the twilight came to him for answers, answers his mother failed to give him. He didn't blame his mother, she was always thinking of everyone else and listening, oh how she was listening. Yet, did she hear her first's heart? It was her first, and final mistake, she who rules all, would never make that same blunder again. Never again, not even the one eye'd being nor the Corrupter and Annihilator.

Banished from the pure heavens, the cloud tops could no longer hold the Morningstar aloft. Angered he was, that his once pure wings grew dark, twelve wings of the upmost black. It was here, when the tailed-god, the one sealed away opposite the end-time, the beginning, by the Dreamer and the Infinite, that it's whispers reached the wayward one.

Even being bound by hundreds, thousands, millions of layers of dreams and infinite possibilities, the Lightbringer's hate and malice was enough to lure it's whispers, twisting, molding the once proud Lightbringer into a being of pure darkness.

Becoming something more, something of darkness, the wayward child left the realm of the mortals with another being, one that had found him, one that became what he was before he was even born, Lilith, the demon's very own devil. It was here that he created his own realm, one where he would father his own children. One where the once pure being would create his own with his equal.

Out of spite, he returned, millennia later, to the realm of the mortals, if only to check on his younger brothers and sisters in the mortal world and the heavens. It was then that he had found that none of them were the same, none of them recognized him, all openly attacked him, cursing him in the name of his father. Seeing this, the rage only intensified.

'My son, if only I had done something sooner.' Her voice rang through her wayward child's mind. 'I could have stopped it from corrupting and twisting your once pure soul. With the Dreamer's help and the Unrelenting's force, we could have vanquished it from the realm completely.'

Angrily, he swore, even as spears of the purest of light rained down on him from his younger siblings, no longer recognizing who he was. He was sure his mother was watching, she was nigh omnipresent, even as the spears were lost in the darkness that surrounded him.

'Once again, I have failed as a mother.' Turning his back on his younger siblings, as they cursed his existence, he walked away, heading back to his realm, even as his mothers voice rung through his head once more. 'I am sorry my wayward son, my morning star. ...But know this, I will bring us together once more, as mother and son, before everything falls apart.'

Reaching his realm once again, he returned home, wishing to see his wife, his children. Going through his land, his rage subsided as he watched all his children grow happy and safe, naming them 72 different names each representing the opposite of his mothers. Finding love amongst themselves and others. He watched, a proud father, as they grew and came into their own. There was hatred, there were fights, there was love, but mostly, there was family.

Yet, not all was to be. A single piercing scream, a single weapon cast, and the ignition was set. A war, a great war the likes the planet hadn't seen since the one-eye'd goddess came, chased from the other world by She who rules all and her husband and clashed against the Dreamer.

It was in this fight, that he was reunited with his mother, a promise that was finally kept.

Having came together with his mother and the Dreamer, to seal away the Corrupter and Annihilator of everything yet again, once and for all, he gave his life away with a smile on his face. Alongside his mother, using the sealing arts he had learned from her, they both used their life to seal the beast away, letting the darkness fade as the Lightbringer was once again amongst his most loving family.

Ch I. Ramen?

Closing the book, he placed it down inside his bag before throwing it over his shoulder once again, a smile settling on his face as he realized the time. Devils, Angels, Gods. Heh, if only, maybe then I could have some actual fun. Leaning his head back, feeling the metal pole holding the catwalk against the back of his beanie, he waited on his girlfriend of two years. Sending said smile and waving at the teenagers as they walked past him heading to their homes for the night, he was used to the stares, especially after his club practice.

Being captain of the second year's Martial Arts team, he was always sweaty and glistening after club activities, preferring to spar against the upperclassmen from the college section for a better work out.

His choice of clothing didn't really help against their stares either. His underarmour long sleeved shirt gave the teenage girls a glorious view of his chiseled chest which would give some of the college students a run for their money. Loose burnt orange gym shorts which hung slightly lower around his hips gave the girls a view of his underarmour legging briefs, not helping their already wild imagination, keeping his legs warm in the cold winter. Coupled with his golden blond hair, he was eye candy for some of the females who didn't know he was off limits.

Adjusting the bag that was slung over his shoulder, he patiently waited as the snow continued to fall around him. Ah, I have practice with pops before I take her out tonight... What should we eat though, hmm.

Minato Senju, 32 years old, a black-belt in multiple martial arts as well as an accomplished writer and father. Having opened up his own Dojo right outside of the main part of the city of Kouh, spending his time teaching the young teenagers and children of the city Martial Arts. Various forms from Karate to Aikido to Muay Thai, though mainly the art of self-defense.

Having accomplished the highest levels in several of the Arts he mastered over the years, he was considered a legend amongst the elders of several teachings. The proudest achievement of his career was the creation of own personal style. The day it was publicly acknowledged by most of the world, even by the supernatural unbeknownst to him, was one he would never forget. One that he simply named, Hakuda, or Hand to Hand combat.

The old man is having a sale tonight. I'm sure she would love to go there. Only the best for my little monster. Wonder how many bowls we'll eat this time~

Kushina Senju, formerly Uzumaki, 33 years old, was a stay at home manager for her husband, Minato. Leaving her job as a surgeon to stay with her love, she ended up taking over the books after they opened the Dojo. Seeing as he was constantly getting new requests and invites from all over the world, visits from various Masters and elders.

She wasn't a simple house wife like most stay at home moms. Having mastered swordsmanship and one of two ancient forms of Calligraphy from her family, she began teaching a small class on the weekends when Minato was resting.

Though she was quite sad when her little boy didn't want to dabble in her families swordsmanship and instead wanted to learn about knifes and daggers, mainly the 'Kunai' from the edo-period where 'ninjas' started out.

Yeah, ramen sounds like the right choice.

Walking around the school building with her Queen, Tsubaki, Sona pointed out several places that would need to be cleaned, Tsubaki writing it all down on a clip board. Seeing the heavy snow, knowing that there was another entire week's worth of snow fall in the coming days, she voiced her thoughts as Tsubaki continued to jot it all down.

Making her way around the large tennis courts, she saw blond locks coming from under a silver beanie that was leaning on the catwalk, already knowing who it was as no one else had that shade of blond.

Seeing as she and Tsubaki were basically done, she headed towards the entrance of the school, tightening the light blue scarf around her neck, wondering how the cold air didn't have any affect on the blond. Reaching him, she held in a smile as his eyes were closed, practically sleeping. Must have challenged the college team again, Miyamoto-san must have her hands full with him. "Naruto Senju-san. I assume the reason your still here is your waiting on Miyamoto-san?"

Tilting his head to the right, he stood straight as he smiled towards the student council president and her assistant, both of whom held a beauty that he couldn't place. With a small nod of his head, he relaxed, his back leaning up against the pole again. "Yeah, her club finished a few moments ago," Looking to his left, straight into her eyes, he finished as he heard the door opening as it echo'd off the catwalk, "we'll be leaving shortly, hopefully getting her home safely before it gets too cold, this snow is freezing."

Letting her head fall slightly as a smirk graced her face, she glanced towards the opening doors of the school, watching as the Kendo club members filed out of the building. "Ah yes. Please do see her home safely, yourself as well Naruto-san, though I do wish you wouldn't wear something so, provocative and light, especially around the high school with teenage girls." Hearing his chuckle, Tsubaki and herself couldn't help but let out a chuckle. It wasn't often that she had to scold the blond, but when she did, it was a light scolding, nothing compared to the two lechers.

Although his academics could be better, as rough as they were, he was a decent human being in her eyes. Looking over his report cards, she could figure out he had trouble paying attention in school, even focusing on the most mundane tasks in school. Yet, from several observations made outside of school, she noticed he picked up on things easily, like a dry sponge drinking up water in a hot summer. His ability to learn on the fly was simply astonishing, having watched him train with his father through her familiar.

She knew he was intelligent, having looked into his background as soon as he applied for the school. Though, she wished his grades would represent the fact that he was home-schooled up to a college level. Glancing at him from the corner of her eyes, she couldn't help but appreciate his looks, holding a certain charm that left her wondering.

"Oho~ Musashi-chan has seen it apparently!" "Ara~ Look at her blush!""Miyamoto-sempai you hentai!"

"Mou~! Stop that!" Her lush silver hair immediately caught his attention, a long bang framing the right side of her face as the rest was tied into an intricate pony tail held together by the orange band he gave her. The black turtle neck sweater she wore outlined her toned stomach and generous breasts which brought a smile to his face. Her long, toned legs were covered by a pair of tight blue jeans which hugged her hips. "He's my boyfriend, what we do in private~," She turned around, sticking her tongue out at her fellow club members as her fingers gripped the ends of her sleeves, "is none of your concern!"

"AH~ Miyamoto-sempai is lucky! She stole the better one!""No way, Kiba-kun is way better!"

Even as she stood there talking to Katase and Murayama, his eyes never left her figure. Turning his head to look back towards Sona, he spoke, dipping his head slightly for a mock bow as he left. "Well, time for me to go, enjoy your break Sona-chan, Tsubaki-chan."

Watching as he walked towards his girlfriend, Sona couldn't help but appraise him as she whispered to her queen. "He would've made a fine peerage member." She was torn between Naruto, who she knew would become powerful in the future, yet, knew he didn't have a sacred gear, and Saji, a second year whom she knew had a sacred gear, a draconian one. While she knew that the blond would become powerful in the future if she made him into a devil, the power of a dragon overshadowed the blond, and for devils, power was everything.

Walking towards his girlfriend who was dragged into talking with her friends again, he couldn't help but admire her figure from behind, knowing that all the training she does helps it. From joining him in the morning for jogs to trips to the gym some afternoons, they were known by a few around the small town of Kouh as a perfect young couple. Ever since Kaa-san bragged about her swordsmanship, Musashi always wants to practice with her.

Taking a walk through the town on an odd day off from her other club's activities, she came across Minato's Dojo. Greatly curious about it, she peered through the glass at the entrance, where she was entranced in the spar between father and son. Father, who continuously knocked his son down with various holds and throws, and son, who would continue to get up and up, never giving up no matter how hard he was slammed down. The sheer determination she saw in him that day, sparked a great interest in him.

As she stood there, face to the glass watching the father son spar, she didn't even notice as Kushina had come up from behind her, standing right next to her holding several bags of groceries as she watched beside her. It wasn't until she cursed her husband's name for a rather violent throw that even she noticed, yet, with a large smile, Kushina had basically forced her inside the Dojo where she met the small family. Finding out that the beautiful silver haired girl also practiced swordsmanship, Kushina immediately fell in love with her.

They are like a mother daughter. A light chuckle escaped his lips as he continued towards his girlfriend, a quick shushing motion towards the other girls as he snuck up on her. No matter how many times he's tried to sneak up on her, she always knew exactly where he was. In another vain attempt to scare her, he smiled as she leaned straight back, falling right inside the middle of his chest where he instinctively wrapped his hands around her stomach, entering the pouch pocket of her sweater, intertwining fingers with her own.

The couple stood there ignoring the collective aw's and glares that were thrown there way as they melted into each other, ignoring the world for just a moment. Opening her eyes with a bright smile, she looked towards her club members as they started talking amongst themselves. "Hope you guys have a great break! Don't do anything I wouldn't do now!" Waving at her friends, she twisted around in her boyfriends hold, a cheeky smile sent up to his blue eyes as he smiled at the club members walking off.

"Naru~" Looking down, as his name was called, he didn't get any time before he was pulled towards the gates. "Let's go!" Wrapping her arms around his right, she closed her eyes, leaning into his frame as they went past the gates to the school unaware of the pairs of eyes locked onto their backs. Leaving footprints on the snow covered sidewalk, they headed home.

Having moved in with Naruto shortly after meeting him and his family, she was beyond grateful. Though she was supplied an apartment of her own from her King, she didn't like being alone. Having a rough childhood as it was, she immediately accepted the invitation from Kushina and Minato, both instantly falling in love with her.

Gaining a rivalry with Naruto, which was pushed to it's limits as they sparred against each other, it soon turned into something more for the two teens. Kushina and Minato, seeing themselves in the two young teens, immediately approved, wanting their grandchildren as early as possible.

"We're going out tonight right?"

Looking down from the corner of his eyes, he smiled. "Yeah, it's Friday. Old man Teuchi and his daughter are having that special tonight." Seeing her eyes light up, he couldn't hold back the laughter that escaped.

"Then let's go! We must get ready to sinfully indulge!"

As the soft, white flakes of snow continued to fall around the school building, the full force of winter was finally taking effect. Carefully laying it's hands down everywhere it could, letting it's cold do the work as the ground froze below. The roots that hid underground, feeding on the nutrients that were stored up to stay alive in the frozen grasp of winter.

With the school having long been over, the student council were finally able to stretch their wings, cleaning up the school building, clearing away the built up snow. Renovations of the school's tennis and track field were taken care of. With a strict policy to uphold, the student council and it's president didn't accept anything less than perfect around their school, which was why Kouh Academy was considered one of the highest rated facilities in Japan.

"Are you sure that's alright Rias?" Pushing her glasses up, she carefully grabbed her tea cup before taking a sip. "Letting her be with a human?" Looking up from the chessboard, she gazed curiously at her long time friend and rival.

Moving her Knight, the beautiful redhead replied, looking through the windows at the snow as it continuously fell. "I think it should be alright for the time being, nothing will come out of it, its fine to be in love right?" Picking up the steaming tea that was sitting beside the chessboard, she took a sip before continuing. "Besides, at least she's not being forced. It this can bring her even the smallest of happiness, who am I to force it to end? Your turn Sona."

Without even waiting she moved her rook in position. Crossing her arms under her chest as she felt her peerage's magic fade, she realized they were done with the renovations. "Musashi-san, she's living with Naruto, you know this right?"

Moving her pawn one space forwards, she took Sona's knight. "I am aware, she ran it by me." Stretching her back, her arms were raised above her head as her generous bust jiggled to the world, causing Sona to inwardly curse. "Besides, he might be a good edition to my peerage. The only reason I haven't acted on him yet, ...I'm debating. A normal human with no sacred gear, just an absurdly powerful life force. I can't even comprehend how long he'll live as a normal human, it's that powerful. If I were to turn him into a devil, he could become very powerful in the future if cultivated right."

"Hmm. Touki?" Moving her bishop, she took one of Rias' pawns. "Just like Sairaorg."

"I don't think it would be the same thing. His life force, it feels... like it's full of life ready to burst, it sounds weird I know." Rias sighed, realizing the predicament she was in as she looked at the chessboard. "I believe he would make a perfect rook or knight or even a pawn. His body is molded to be a fighter thanks to his father and mother. Plus, I don't think Musashi-chan would like me stealing her boyfriend." As she finished, she moved her rook to the left of her Queen, acting as a defensive against Sona's pawns.

Tilting her head up as she heard her friends words and let them sink in, she let out a small laugh, ignoring the confusion that was sent towards her from her friend. "I don't think she'll have to worry about that, Rias. Checkmate. There's no amount of magic that would steal Naruto from Musashi." She could tell there was something between the two of them.

Raising her brow at her rival's words, she wondered, why? Most of the human men and even the women turned their heads when she walked past, how would this one be any different? With a sigh, she filed those thoughts away for later as she took in the chessboard. "It's your win this time Sona. I will be sure to have the school's parking lot and various fields cleared by the end of the break."

Standing up as she finished her tea, Rias spoke once again as the student council filed into the room, Tsubaki leading them. "I do believe I'll talk with him before the break is over, possibly persuade him to join my peerage." Turning around as Sona stood up, she waved to her friends Queen as she walked towards the door. "Besides, since you already won the rights to speak with Saji first, I'll back off on him. I'll see you later Sona."

Smiling as her friend left the student council room, she sighed as she held her tea, still steaming in her hands, her magic keeping it warm. I wonder what you'll do Rias. What will you reincarnate Naruto as? Rook? Knight? Are you sure that this will lead to the end of your problem? Taking a sip from her glass, as Tsubaki had everyone start sorting the various files that dealt with her peerage and the campus.

Looking out of the window towards the snow that relentlessly fell covering the ground, she smiled as her thoughts left her friends problems and towards her own. Saji Genshirou. Wielder of an unknown Draconian Sacred Gear. A high tier one if what I felt was true. Turning her head back to the chessboard, she waved her hand over it, her blue chess pieces replacing the regular set. Staring down at her leftover pieces, she wondered what she would do, what would be the best pieces for him.

"Tsubaki," Seeing her queens attention was on her, she continued, "We'll be going to see him tonight, be ready after we leave." I wonder how it'll be with a little brother in my peerage. Ignoring the slight blush that was on her face, she finished her tea before taking a seat at her desk, going through the paperwork.

Looking through the old, broken roof that was slowly falling apart, her violet eyes stared off as the evening sun finally vanished behind the dark clouds. She'll be arriving soon. Closing her eyes, she let the evening breeze blow through the church, her long, midnight black hair swaying slightly as the snow began to fall more fervently than before. Behind her, two pairs of black wings unfurled themselves as she stretched, her enormous bust going up and down with her breath.

"Soon Azazel-sama, Shemhazai-sama. Soon, I'll be of even greater assistance." Interlocking her fingers as she prayed towards her leaders, she stood silently as the snow occupied her shoulders and the floor around her. "Soon." Her voice wavered as it was lost in the evening breeze, carrying it through the woods before it dispersed.

Once pure, a powerful angel in the ranks of heaven, always upholding the law, enforcing, making sure her brothers and sisters were always doing the righteous. Once revered by the archangels themselves, yet, a single thought, a single, what if.

What if he wasn't wrong?

A single thought, going against everything she swore and lived by.

She was distraught, yes. But, she kept it together, even as her wings of the purest white changed. She kept it together, not believing it was happening, watching as Gabriel, her eldest sister, ran towards her as the heavenly clouds could no longer hold her up. She finally let her voice be known, why?, even as she saw her eldest brother, Michael, tears flowing down his face turn his head away, not able to watch the loss of yet another.

What if Kokabiel-sama wasn't wrong?

It was a fleeting moment, she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. In the heavenly palace, where the halls were of the purest colors, this was where she overheard the truth, the unbelievable, the painful truth. A single moment, and the seed was set, it wouldn't be until she no longer saw some of her older brothers and sisters, that it grew and flourished in the depths of her mind.

Tears fell from the closed lids of her eyes as she sent prayers towards her leader. As though it happened yesterday, it still hurt to this day. But, she had her friends that fell along side her, she still had her older brothers, who fell before her. She still had her family that reached out to her, stayed with her.

Yet, was it enough? She asked herself each and every morning as she stared at the raising sun, awaiting answers, and once again as it descended atop the trees, beyond the horizon. Will it ever be enough to replace the feeling of her family that was once complete?

"Raynare!" Wiping the tears from her eyes as a voice echo'd towards her from underground, she looked down at the snow covered rubble around her. It was becoming more and more difficult to not believe the what if. More and more were losing their faith. She could tell just by the morning sun, as it rose, it's ambiance was becoming less and less radiant. Yet, she still believed, even if it was harder and harder to everyday.

She would believe in her leaders. She would become something more, for her leaders. "Raynare?" Turning around, she gave a soft smile towards one of the fallen that fell with her. One that didn't want her to be alone. "Come, dinners ready. Let us eat in peace before those accursed priests get."

A chuckle escaped her lips as she listened to her older sister and lifelong friend. "Yes. Let us eat sister." Sending one last glance behind her, to the glorious twilight that was still visible above the trees in the distance, she knew it wouldn't be long before she reunited with her family. Just, she didn't believe how, or what kind of meeting it would be, yet, she believed in her leaders, and trusted them when they said how it would be.

It will be radiant.

Pulling her hair back, she quickly tied it with her usual orange band, using hair pins to help keep it in place. Leaning on the side of the tub as drops of water continued down her stunning body, she tilted her head back, staring out the one way glass roof as snow melted from the heat giving her a clear view of the rather dark clouds, the steam still permeating throughout the rather large bath.

Looking to her left as she dried the rest of her body off, she glanced at her love's chiseled back with even more lust than what was just done in the shower. Walking up behind him as he was brushing his teeth, she wrapped her arms around his chest from behind, pressing her generous assets flat against his back, laying a gentle kiss between his shoulder blades.

"Oho," Speaking as her hands drifted south towards her favorite sword, "While it pleases me that you can continue, I believe we must hurry before the restaurant closes, my love." A rather devious smile came to her face as she heard him growl lightly, giving him a gentle squeeze before releasing him she left the bathroom that was connected to their room, feeling his deep ocean blue eyes on her the entire time.

Seeing her clothes already left out on her bed, she quickly got dressed. Pulling a tight pair of blue jeans over her orange lingerie that she knew he loved, she finished with a longsleeved white sweater which had sakura petals falling from the shoulder. Looking to her nightstand, she grabbed the necklace she received from Naruto on their second anniversary. Putting it on, she sat on the edge of their bed holding onto the jewel of the pendent that hung from a silver chain so pure it matched her beautiful hair. From inside the pure gold circle, a humanoid Kyuubi was standing on it's back legs, it's body a deep shade of pure orange and red, just like the one he described from his dream.

"It might be a sacred gear," Looking to her only knight, Rias continued, Akeno having the same thoughts, "He said he's having the same dream over and over again?"

"Yes. A being with ten tails of unimaginable size, with a single blood red eye, staring down at him." Clenching her fists in her lap as she could do nothing to help her love from his nightmares. "There was a person, male, standing beside him, shoulder to shoulder with him, fighting alongside him against whatever the calamity was."

Setting a hand on her chin, Rias began going through what she was told as Akeno spoke. "It could just be nightmares? He is a teenage boy, they do play video games, it's most likely from one of the games he played."

Shaking her head, Musashi refuted. "He doesn't play any games. Besides, his dreams, he wakes up sweating. There just too real to be dreams!"

Looking directly into her knights teal colored eyes, Rias spoke. "Alright, Musashi-chan. I want you to keep an eye on him, pay attention to his aura. Does it fluctuate during the nightmares? Does he produce any energy?" Getting up from her desk, she finished, resolution in her eyes. "I've been meaning to approach him about joining my peerage anyway especially since Sona won the rights to Saji. Keep me informed of anything you find out, alright? Keep him safe Musashi, if he does indeed have a sacred gear that can't be sensed, there might be other eyes on him that can sense it."

Nodding her head, Musashi frowned as she left the clubroom to where Naruto was waiting for her. Various thoughts going through her mind at what could be happening to her boyfriend.

Looking into the bathroom as Naruto rinsed his mouth out before grabbing a towel, she focused on his aura as he dried his blond hair, her thoughts going over what her king had told her earlier in the week. Fingering the jewel that hung from the silver chain around her neck, she smiled as Naruto came from the bathroom completely naked, not a care in the world that she was gazing at every inch of his toned body, yet her thoughts weren't matching her gaze.

For these dreams to be so real, I only trust they pass soon. Dismissing those thoughts as she blatantly stared at his body as he reached into his dresser and grabbed a pair of his underarmour leggings, clicking her teeth as his body was slowly hidden from her view. "Say, Naru." Her voice, usually filled with energy and life, he could tell was rather weak, finding it wanting in his mind.

Catching the rather powerful gaze of his, she continued as he pulled up the loose pair of black pants, her eyes wondering to the toned and rare 'V' shape that was carefully sculpted leading to her favorite sword. "What would you do, if I said we couldn't be together due to certain circumstances? That I had a hidden life that you couldn't possibly understand nor believe."

Standing straight up as he held onto the burnt orange underarmour tank top, he slowly turned around, deep ocean blue meeting everlasting teal as he made his way across the room. "I'd take the circumstances and throw them away and say watch me, what brought this on Musashi?"

Your a devil now, Musashi. Your lifespan is far greater than any humans. It's not good to have these feelings towards a human, you need to realize this. By the time he turns 60, you'll still look just as beautiful as you do now, it just won't work. I'm not telling you to stop, just, I don't want to see you hurt.

Reaching out as she averted her gaze down to his waist, she grabbed the two white strings that hung from the waistband of his loose pants, tieing them with a neat bow before falling backwards on the bed, staring at the ceiling. "Nothing, never mind. Forget what I just said." Ignoring her king's voice in the back of her head, she hoped he would drop it. Truly, love hurts, yet, she couldn't ever get enough of it from her maelstrom.

Running a hand through his spiky blond locks, he sighed before reaching over to the nightstand. Grabbing and putting on his deodorant, he quickly put on the thick, burnt orange underarmour tanktop, letting the tight shirt outline his muscular chest. Reaching up, he gently pulled the simple brown cord out from under the tight shirt, letting it hang from his neck showing the 5 golden bars that hung from it, Kanji engraved on the middle bar.

"I love you, Naruto."

"Ho~" Walking back to his dresser, grabbing a matching turtle neck longsleeved shirt, he turned around, glancing at the gorgeous beauty on his bed. "Really now?"

"If thou doesn't wish to believe what my fickle swordswoman heart tells me, I'm positive I can find someone who can." Pulling herself up to sit on the edge of the bed once again, she stared at his chest through the skintight shirt. Licking her lips as her eyes moved from his pecks to the collarbone that was wrapped in muscle, eyeing the leftover drops of water that fell to the neckline of his shirt, blushing as she took notice of her teeth marks poking out from the underarmour.

"You know I love you, my beautiful blade." Seeing her smile at his answer, he threw on his turtle neck, pulling it down over his chest. Grabbing the white tape that was sitting atop the dresser as he went to sit on the edge of their bed, he began taping the bottom of his pants out of habit.

Watching him do this, she couldn't help but let out a chuckle. Being the descendant of the original Miyamoto Musashi from the early edo period, she inherited a lot of things. Her beautiful looks, love for swords and the gracefulness that came with it. Having a boyfriend that seemed to have a thing for the 'ninja' of that same time period, she wouldn't have it any other way, it was strange and eccentric, just like her, and she loved it.

Getting up, she stretched her back as she slipped on her overcoat to add another layer against the cold, though she didn't really need it. Hearing him get up and follow her, she opened their bedroom door, walking out as she spoke. "I wonder if we should bring any back for Kaa-san."

"And why wouldn't you young lady?" Standing at the end of the couch as she held onto a plate holding some Sake for herself and Minato, she stared at her adopted daughter she was convinced was already her daughter-in-law.

Hearing Kushina's question, Musashi stood ramrod straight as she stared into her adoptive mother's eyes for only a moment before hiding behind her love.

"No worries Kaa-san." Giving Kushina a hug while he kissed her cheek, Naruto continued as they both walked towards the door, slipping their shoes on. "I'll be sure to bring back some of your favorite!"

"You better young man!" Smiling as she saw the two leave, she sat back down on the couch beside her husband as the movie continued. Looking at him from the corner of her eyes, she smirked, slowly bringing her hand up, drawing circles on his chiseled chest. "Mina~ You know~"

A rather devilish smirk slowly became made on his face as he felt his wife's hand on his chest. "Now that there gone dear~" His hands immediately grabbed onto her thighs as she straddled him. "I've always wanted another child~"

Jumping up from the couch with a finesse that would put even the worlds best human athlete to shame, they disappeared down the hallway into their room, unaware of onlookers from outside, even as the streetlights glinted off the crosses that hung from their necks.
