Sona got up from her position on the floor, quiet and calm, wiping away the orange paint that was all over her glasses.
She then coolly regarded the student council room, seeing that the entire room was painted over with orange paint, as well as her personal effects.
Including her two Peerage members, who were struggling to get back onto their feet, much to their embarrassment and consternation.
Sona slowly regarded them, expression blank.
"...Get that son of a bitch."
"Shit, shit, shit!" Naruto wailed, shaking his head back and forth in horror over his actions.
"What's wrong Naruto-sama? You seem to be a bit upset, although you completed your prank. What's up with that?" Maria asked, confused.
Both individuals were currently sitting crouched in a little shadowed area, between two large buildings and hiding out for a few seconds.
"I just remembered something, that's what." the shinobi grumpily retorted, facepalming himself due to his own stupidity.
He forgot about the deal he made with Rias.
He had an idea, a loop hole to get out of that basic requirement! But he got caught up in Maria's mood to care! Damn his natural instincts!
Blue eyes sharpened, he had to make sure that he wasn't seen, if they had no evidence then it would be an assumption. There was no way that the Sitri heiress would accuse him of being involved without proof, she was factual like that.
The shinobi turned to the silverette by his side, watching her giggle madly and cradle the paint gun on her hands.
A paint gun, it was fucking ingenious. Why didn't he ever think of that?
"Hey Maria, I need a...favor." Naruto said, gritting his teeth while doing so.
The succubus stopped giggling immediately and turned to the blond, eyes wide. "...Really? Like...really really?"
The shinobi nodded solemnly, he knew what was coming next, but he better lay down what was needed first. "Yeah, I need you to take the fall for this thing, I will be suspected for the prank and I don't need the suspicion at the moment."
Maria gave him an incredulous look in response. "...Then why did you join me for this if you weren't supposed to?"
"Because I'm an idiot that doesn't always think things through, that's why." Naruto retorted with a scowl, before sighing. "Just name your price already."
Purple eyes lit up in glee, a sly grin forming on her lips. "Naruto-sama...I want you to tell me how much better I am than you."
The shinobi groaned. "You've gotta be kidding me..."
Maria beamed. "Come on Naruto-sama, you know you want to! No need to be shy! Also, just as a request, can you tell me how cute I am too?"
"No."
"...Fine, just give me my accolades then."
Naruto nodded slowly, taking a deep breath in order to curb his annoyance, this had to be done.
"...When I prank you, I only do it because I'm jealous of your happy demeanor, I wish I could be as friendly as you." Naruto said lightly, a happy smile plastered on his face.
Maria clapped her hands happily. "Yes! Please, go on! This is beautiful! Tell me about my superior pranks!"
The blond's smile almost cracked, but he kept going. "Yes~ Your pranks are sooooo~ much better than mine. I try to emulate you as best as I can..."
The succubus was jumping up and down with delight, before calming herself and forcing herself to be serious. "Ok, one last thing and you're in the clear, alright?"
It couldn't end faster for the shinobi, but he just nodded with his fake smile.
Maria leaned in, a shit-eating grin on her face and gave her last request. "...Call me sempai."
Naruto's 'perfect' facade cracked, just for a split-second, forcing him to wipe his mouth with his hand to prevent himself from telling the succubus to 'fuck off'.
So he tried.
He tried.
"...SeMpAI."
Maria completely ignored the bared canines that the blond had out as he acquiesced to her terms.
"Ok!" the succubus declared, giving the blond a thumbs up. "You're clear! I will take the fall, you have nothing to worry about."
Naruto didn't respond, he only fell on his hands and knees, gasping for breath. That took everything he had...
The half-devil was skipping out of the area that they were hiding out in, humming a pleasant tune, before stopping for a moment and glancing over her shoulder.
"...You know, if you want...you could call me 'onee-sama'-"
Naruto didn't hesitate.
"Kage bunshin no jut-"
Maria cackled as she scrambled out of the darkened area, gleeful at her victory.
The shinobi glared at the area where the succubus once stood, fuming, before standing up and leaving the premises.
...The day was sucking pretty badly.
Pink eyes locked with purple eyes, filled with dry humor. She had a pretty good idea about what this was about.
"Ok, what did Naruto do now?" Mio inquired, inviting the other girl to say what she wanted to say.
Sona narrowed her eyes, studying the younger girl very closely. "...Have you seen him? I believe that he may have been responsible for a prank at the student council room."
Mio sighed dramatically, that did sound like something he would do...
The half-devil was in the hallway, her last class was over and she was just about to leave the school, but it looked like she had one more obstacle to go.
Meanwhile, the high-class devil regarded the younger girl silently, she assumed that Naruto would have informed Mio about his activities, but it seemed to be a faulty assumption.
She didn't really have proof that the blond was responsible for the 'attack', but he had the motive. All she needed was to find him and ask him herself...
"Ah! There you are!"
Mio and Sona turned around, frowns on their faces as someone rudely interrupted their conversation.
The red-head's frown was far more pronounced however, she knew that voice...
Maria was waving her arms frantically, ignoring the incredulous looks that she was getting from the surrounding students. "Hey! You are the student council president, right!? It's nice...to..."
The succubus trailed off after seeing the unamused look that she was getting from her charge...shit.
"...Have we met? I feel like I've seen you before..." Sona wondered aloud, eyes zoning in on the seemingly 'little girl'.
"You have kaichou, she accompanied me when I was scouting out the school for transfer." Mio mentioned while crossing her arms, tapping her foot in irritation all the while.
What exactly was she doing here?
Sharp eyes narrowed, yes...she remembered now. Why was she here, exactly?
Maria was sweating slightly, if she took the blame of the prank in front of her charge, she may get punished when they got home...
She cursed, it was almost like the world was out to get her!
"Well...you see...I was bored today, right? So I got it into my head to do some harmless pranks in Mio-sama's school and...it may or may not have gotten out of hand..." the succubus explained lamely, shrugging her shoulders uselessly all the while.
The two teenaged devils didn't respond to the confession, they simply stayed silent for a long moment.
Until Mio turned to her senior and bowed deferentially. "I apologize for Maria's behavior, she must have caused you a lot of trouble. I will take responsibility for it."
Sona couldn't help but notice the dark glint in Mio's eye, perhaps...?
The Sitri heiress smiled. "Understood then, I will allow you to deal with this. I'm counting on you."
