Chapter 27 - Chapter 26

Human World – Japan – Kuoh City – Kuoh Academy – Class 2-C.

"Hello, nice to meet you, I'm Yami and I come from Kyoto."

Naruto introduced himself with a pleasant smile that quickly drew the attention of the girls, who began squealing and asking questions.

Naruto hummed mentally, observing the Sekiryuutei and the little blonde who exuded a magical presence—slightly demonic and at the same time holy.

Naruto: I came here because of the Fallen's presence in the city, and look at what I found, interesting beings… – he thought, glancing sideways at the little blonde while answering everyone else's questions.

Issei snorted upon hearing the stranger's introduction—just another idiot with a prince-like appearance who had just arrived in the city. Nothing interesting.

Asia raised an eyebrow curiously; he was the one following Akeno-sempai.

The afternoon passed without any surprises until classes ended. While many went to their clubs and others to their homes, Naruto was among the latter.

Academy Rooftop.

Calmly watching from there, Naruto could be seen concealed by a magic circle.

"Will you stay here?"

A voice sounded behind Naruto, who was unfazed.

Naruto: Look… – he said calmly to the stranger who stood at his side, revealing herself as a beautiful short blonde with crimson eyes, wearing a scientist's outfit with a lab coat. None other than Aletia Galdea Vesperitio Avatarl, or as those close to her call her, Yue Phoenix.

Yue approached the edge and observed two strange men hidden among the trees in the distance. They were staring in the direction of the club where one of the devilesses who controlled this city resided.

Naruto: Fallen. I only came to massacre the Sekiryuutei and punish the other girls, but upon arriving in the city, I felt their presence. And not only that—there are sacred energies not far away… So I wonder, since when did these bastards grow a backbone to act in my city? My territory… None of that trash knows how much I had to pay that bitch Amaterasu… – he said seriously, almost growling.

Yue smiled faintly.

Yue: You're not still upset because Amaterasu dominated you and not the other way around, are you?... – she asked with a smile, unfazed by the dark look Naruto sent her.

Naruto: I was weak, you know that… – he said, returning to his dark seriousness, much to Yue's amusement. She knew, but it was still funny… Her husband had faced this so-called Yato and actually defeated him, turning him into his pawn. But they were very close to the Shinto faction. Amaterasu caught him off guard—both of them easy to eliminate—but one thing led to another, and the madwoman desired Naruto, wanted to possess him… the dark past of her husband.

Yue laughed mentally so as not to anger her husband further by reminding him of something he didn't want to recall. But well… they were Shinto allies, and Amaterasu couldn't hold her tongue, so everyone knew what had happened between those two. Even if Naruto hadn't wanted it, he had to endure it.

Yue quickly regained her seriousness.

Yue: There's something strange here… – she said calmly, watching the Fallen and their magical power level, with Naruto nodding.

Naruto: Yes, that's why I'll be here for a week. As for studies… I already fulfilled that fetish years ago… It'll be boring to go through the same thing, and also end everything too quickly. Let's make them feel they have everything in their hands… it'll be fun to shatter their illusions later… – he said somewhat amused. Yue shook her head, though she too felt a little entertained. Action at last, after 100 boring years—and it seemed it would be the Fallen who would break their little peace.

Returning home after completing the day's contracts and successfully avoiding raising any suspicion in Rias and the others, Akeno could be seen climbing step by step up the stairs leading to her temple… her… home… in silence.

Akeno felt a strange bitterness filling her: "Why did she have to suffer because of Issei's damn fault? Rias had already accepted her fate, and it wasn't like it was that bad. Raiser is an idiot, but he wouldn't raise his hand against Rias—he proved that in the Rating Game. In fact, Rias could dominate him and make him her dog, use him at her whim and all that. But that stupid blue-knight fairytale she has in her head…"

Akeno snorted, thinking of how Rias was going to fall for Issei, over Kiba, over anyone, even Raiser. Issei was ugly, no doubt… The only appealing thing about him was being the Sekiryuutei, nothing more… Average, and a pervert of the worst kind… With his attitude, there was no doubt he'd never have a girlfriend—except for the brainless Rias.

Akeno laughed dryly, bitter… Her virginity, her first kiss, her first torture—all stolen by someone else… She wouldn't have cared if it wasn't in the form of revenge for others' stupidity. She was a masochist, she knew it, but it had to be at her pace… not in something she couldn't control.

Akeno took the last step and looked at her home. She didn't sense anyone.

Acting quickly, Akeno approached her house. She would grab some clothes and sleep outside.

Akeno opened the door, only to smell a strange aroma she found oddly pleasant.

"Welcome!"

Akeno heard a voice that made her stomach drop, but strangely enough, what it said attracted her.

"Welcome."

Akeno blinked. How long had it been since she'd heard something like that? But it was him… but…

Akeno sighed, and though doubtful, she entered. If the Demon King wanted her dead, she already would be.

Akeno stepped into the living room, where she saw a table served with delicious dishes, and him. He was there, without his Yami appearance, sitting and smiling.

Naruto smiled.

Naruto: I was waiting for you. Let's begin… let us pray… – he said with a smile.

Akeno looked at him with a blank stare.

Naruto: Oh, our Father… Elohim, you… – he didn't finish when he saw Akeno clutch her head with a grimace of pain.

Naruto: It affects you too, interesting… – he said, serving himself his portion of the food, leaving the prayer for later.

Akeno sighed, her eyes devoid of light, but still she approached the table. Kneeling, she sat down and began to eat in silence… it didn't taste bad.

Naruto: Tomorrow I want you to bring me that girl, Asia… here… – he said calmly, making Akeno shiver imperceptibly, though she said nothing.

Naruto: Was I clear?... – he asked curiously, now looking at Akeno.

Akeno: Yes… – she replied softly.

Naruto hummed. It seemed Akeno wasn't in love with that boy at the moment… Well, it didn't matter anyway… She wasn't, she wouldn't be… This endowed and voluptuous beauty could only be his. And besides, she was a half-breed, she had potential… Great potential.

Naruto: How was your class today?... – he asked with curiosity.

Akeno froze with her fork halfway and looked at Naruto.

Naruto shrugged indifferently.

Akeno: Fine… – she answered, not noticing the faint smile on Naruto's lips.

Naruto: Fine? Studying is boring… well, for us supernatural beings who live longer than humans… we have the advantage of getting what they can only dream of… – he commented calmly.

Akeno didn't want to talk, she really didn't, but curiosity nagged her.

Akeno: Dream of?... – she asked, to which Naruto nodded.

Naruto: Money, immortality, and power… those are humans' most desired wishes. Lust comes second—they can satisfy it by having sex, eating good food, counting their wealth… all that gives them satisfaction. But for us, it ends up tasteless, though still necessary… – he explained, and Akeno pondered.

Akeno: And what if it's a pervert who thinks of nothing but breasts?... – she asked without even thinking, simple curiosity.

Naruto smiled and blinked.

Naruto: Well, there are perverts, and then there are perverts. They get satisfied with sex, but if all they think about is sex all the time, breathing for nothing else, it's a clear threat… They could betray anyone for the mere will to fuck. If they find someone more interesting, they'll simply turn their back on everyone… That would be lust at a simply twisted level. I have a wife who can't look at me without instantly thinking of sex, but only with me—no one else. Her desire comes from love, so much that she finds no other way to show it except intimately… A pervert, though, doesn't love. For them it's more visual… the worst thing that could happen to a girl… – he explained oddly, yet Akeno found herself nodding, assimilating his words.

Akeno: Couldn't he change? The pervert, I mean. Or if he has good intentions but is still a pervert?... – she asked curiously, lowering her guard, strangely feeling more comfortable in Naruto's presence.

Naruto shook his head.

Naruto: If all he thinks about is a woman's body all the time, he's not boyfriend or family material… He would always get distracted when he had a new conquest, displacing the previous and first girlfriends. Not to mention if children were involved in such madness… – he explained, letting Akeno's imagination provide possible scenarios. And Akeno found herself smiling.

Akeno: I won't be the only one to suffer, Rias… – she thought, not really considering what had happened the night before. Poor sleep, exhaustion, and bitterness had reached a point where she decided she wouldn't be the only one to suffer the consequences. To hell with the others.

Naruto blinked at the strange glint in Akeno's eyes.

Naruto: Good thing she's weak… – he thought, recognizing a crazy one with little effort.

Akeno continued eating in silence before finishing and standing up to go take a bath.

Naruto sweated upon seeing that she left him the dishes, which made him laugh in amusement… How long had it been since someone treated him like that? He couldn't remember.

Bath.

Reclining in the tub, immersed in her thoughts, was Akeno with her hair tied up. She snapped out of her small moment of calm when she felt the door open.

"Mind if I join you?"

Naruto entered without waiting for an answer, carrying around his waist one of Akeno's towels.

Akeno frowned, but her gaze couldn't help but wander to Naruto's firm, interesting chest—the same chest she had been pressed against, though unwillingly. But he was strong.

Naruto walked to the shower and turned on the faucet, letting the water fall, while Akeno watched him through the frosted glass.

Naruto: It's a nice cold, it's going to rain… – he suddenly commented, looking at the clouds outside.

Naruto cleaned his body before stepping out without taking his towel, letting Akeno see everything.

Akeno mocked him.

Naruto: It's the cold, but it keeps growing… after all, it almost left you voiceless… – he replied calmly, and Akeno lost her smile, turning her gaze away with a faint blush.

Naruto laughed in amusement.

Naruto: Make some room… – he said, approaching the tub.

Akeno shook her head and was about to protest when Naruto was already climbing in, grabbing her waist. Akeno turned, giving Naruto space as he pulled her onto him.

Naruto reclined in the tub.

Naruto: Uff… very nice… Who's the woman in the photos? She's beautiful… – he said, instantly catching Akeno's attention.

Akeno's gaze turned distant.

Akeno: My mother… – she answered calmly.

Naruto hummed.

Naruto: Is she dead?... – he asked curiously, and Akeno shook, confirming it to him.

Naruto tilted his head back and sighed.

Naruto: If you have her corpse, I can bring her back… There's a book in Egypt capable of reviving humans and… wait, was she human or Fallen?... – he asked after a moment's thought.

Akeno turned, eyes wide, staring at Naruto.

Akeno: Y… you… you… Revive?... – she asked incredulously.

Naruto nodded.

Naruto: I'm a different Demon King… Not just magic and attacks, I'm a complete demon… – he explained calmly, with Akeno staring at him.

Akeno: I… I have her remains, and she was human… – she replied, lowering her head.

Naruto: Excellent… Help me with a few things, and I'll bring your mother back, no matter how much time has passed. Without Elohim guiding the souls… reincarnation is just angelic propaganda for humans… Now, if it's a supernatural being, that's very different… – he explained. Akeno more or less understood, but in her mind, there was only one thought: "My mother alive, seeing her again."

Akeno slowly leaned closer and rested against Naruto's chest.

Naruto caressed Akeno's waist with his hand. She was beautiful and smelled so good, without a doubt a sexy woman.

After the bath, Naruto carried Akeno, and they both went to her room, where they slipped under the sheets. Strangely, Akeno didn't resist.

"Thunder!"

A thunderclap echoed, and not long after, raindrops began to fall as the storm started.

Naruto embraced Akeno without a trace of fear that she might attack him in the middle of the night. She didn't seem to have the courage, but just in case, he wouldn't take the risk.

Naruto activated his repelling spell.

Akeno paid no mind to being naked, nor to hugging Naruto's naked body… Her gaze was distant. The only thing that could unsettle her was her mother, and Naruto had struck that point—seeing her again, alive. What would it be like? Would she be happy? Would she spoil her?

Akeno sighed and closed her eyes as she listened to Naruto's heartbeat.

The night passed quietly in Kuoh City, unaware that the Demon King was present and in motion.

New Day – Morning – Himejima Temple – Akeno's Room.

Naruto yawned in the comfort of the bed, watching as Akeno got ready to go to the academy and fulfill his order. He wouldn't go today.

"Goodbye."

Naruto smiled, watching the half-Fallen disappear through a magic circle.

Naruto rose calmly from the bed, showing his nakedness, and walked unhurriedly to the bathroom to take a refreshing shower after sweating half the night from Akeno's dominant embrace.

Outskirts of Kuoh – Abandoned Church.

In a church showing signs of deterioration, a magic circle appeared at its entrance.

"Sigh."

"The air of the human world… as disgusting as always. Hehehehe…"

A figure appeared in the middle of the magic circle, behind which five pairs of wings black as night unfolded.

"Do some of you have doubts? It seems so. Just wait for the development, don't be alarmed. I have everything planned for the fic and I'm laying out my idea. Now it's up to you to picture it… Naruto is a demon, that should explain a lot to you."
