Chapter 8

"Did you see 'him', there, it's 'him'!"

"Oh my Kami, it's the new transfer student isn't it?!"

"Look at him, Kami he is so handsome and so cute too. Look at his body, it's so delicious!"

"It's Naruto Uzumaki-sama! I heard that he is Rias-onee-sama's childhood friend."

"Really?"

"Yeah, look at his wrist, do you see that crimson bracelet, I have seen that Rias-sama has the same one!"

"Really, do you think that they are a couple?"

"KYAA~! It's so cute"

Naruto cursed quietly when he passed a small group of school girls that were chatting with each other near his class. Truthfully, he didn't mind them talking about him or anything for that matter, it's just a few seconds ago they just screamed out the word "Kami", and it sent a massive headache to his head. Naruto would be really thankful if they didn't use that word anymore.

Well, it's the first morning at Kuoh Academy, and Naruto had become really popular amongst the girls, and the most dangerous, the mightiest, and the greatest enemy to the single high school boys. He had seen Issei's two friends and most of the boys at the academy look at him with venom in their eyes, but brushed it off because he thought it was nothing important.

He had been put into the same class with his childhood friend so the information about him and Rias being childhood friends leaked out pretty fast and just by looking at them, people could see how close the two are. Rias didn't mind letting the whole academy know that Naruto was her childhood friend, and the fact she has special feelings for him, so no one would come and make a move on him. The thought of their idols being taken away enraged some of the male student inside and outside Kuoh Academy, which lead to a lot of gangs coming and 'asking for his health', they also carried a lot of baseball bats and chains to scare Naruto, and they told him to stay away from Rias, because she was 'their' girl.

Well, it's lucky for them that Naruto wasn't a cold blooded murderer, after the incident with Riser. He always wanted to beat the hell out of anyone that said Rias was 'theirs'.

Naruto sighed in relief when no one was shouting Kami anymore; he was heading to the clubroom. He had joined Occult Research Club this morning and became a member of the club. Rias had forbid him to call her 'Buchou' like everyone else, saying that it didn't suit him to call her that. It's kind of funny really, seeing Rias's face when she was being teased by Akeno and getting embarrassed by Koneko, in which the white haired girl said only one word.

Naruto saw Issei, who was screaming to his two pervert friends about something, with Asia standing near him looking at Issei with a happy smile. It was kind of ironic really, a innocent girl and the pure pervert have feelings for each other, he doesn't even know what Asia sees inside Issei… but he guessed he could call the boy a true courage man when he saw the recording of the Rating game between Rias and Riser, he had fought hard to protect Asia during the fight on the rooftop, even when his body was being pushed beyond its limit, he still wanted to protect her.

He also heard from Rias that Issei and Asia live with each other under the same roof at Issei's house, his parents considered Asia the daughter they never had, they even love her more than their pervert son.

Oh well…

"Issei-kun, Asia-chan!" He patted the brown haired boy's shoulder and called for Asia. Motohama and Matsuda, if he remembered their names correctly, were looking at him with wide eyes, it was kind of because he was taller than both of them and he could easily beat them until they couldn't move, just like the gangs from the schools near Kuoh.

"Naruto-senpai!" Asia smiled brightly and bowed her head to the older blond.

"Naruto-senpai," Issei smiled nervously at him, in truth, he was still a little terrified because of Naruto's power that day. He had never seen anything like that before, especially that giant yellow Kyuubi. Even Kiba and the other spectators, like Sairaorg, had to keep their mouths from falling to the ground after seeing the fox form of Naruto, which was unlike anything they have ever seen before.

"Rias-chan said that the club would have a meeting at lunch, so be there okay?" he smiled to the both of them and walked away while waving at them. All the girls around him screamed out in delight at his warm smile.

"Damn him, damn Casanova!" Motohama and Matsuda yelled out with frustration in their voice, but were quickly being screamed at right in their faces by a group of girls and they began to attack the two perverts for shouting at their 'Naruto-sama'. Issei had been lucky that he followed Asia back to their class before the girls could see him, now he didn't have to suffer the same fate as his friends.

"I'm here… huh?" Naruto opened the door to their clubroom, but to see only Akeno standing in the corner of the room, making tea with a happy expression on her face. He had hoped to meet with Rias here, because he felt some magical signatures around the academy, he also talked with a few of them and he wanted to ask her about it, because he didn't feel any negative emotions coming from them so he thought they must also be devils like the members of the Occult Research Club

"Ara, Naruto-sama, please come in and sit down," Akeno smiled brightly and poured some tea into a cup while she prepared some tea for Naruto "please wait a minute Naruto-sama, your tea will be ready soon." Akeno finished the tea and put it on a tray along with a few cookies for Naruto. She wanted everything to be perfect for Naruto. Rias had told her about Grayfia, the former maid of the Gremory Castle who happened to be Naruto's personal maid now, and how she has also developed feelings for Naruto. Akeno gripped the tray a little when she remembered what Grayfia had done to Naruto and couldn't help to be a little jealous, she was after all… the one who would be serving him in any way possible and making him feel as comfortable as possible, not some old lady with silver hair and a strict personality.

"Thank you Akeno-chan!" he smiled at her when she put the tray down in front of him, "You know Akeno-chan, you don't have to call me 'Naruto-sama' just 'Naruto' is fine"

"Ara, Ara, ufufufu" she giggled happily "But don't worry Naruto-sama, I don't have to, yes, but I want to, after all," she folded her arms under her breasts and pushed it and made them more noticeable, "I don't mind being submissive under you Naruto-sama~," she purred, making Naruto's face redden and he quickly excused himself by drinking all the tea in one gulp, ignoring the fact that the tea was still hot, but it managed to clear his mind. In terms of danger level, Akeno was the most dangerous girl he knew, even Rias was still an innocent girl when the situation asked for it, but Akeno could be really mature all of the time, even her pony-tail made her face look more mature and he has never seen her act innocent, like a normal girl her age, before.

"Um… Akeno-chan, Where is Rias-chan and Neko-chan anyways?" He asked the black haired queen, "I thought they would be here first."

"Buchou had to take care of a few things with Sona-Kaichou!" Naruto nodded his head, he already knew that the daughter of the Sitri Clan was here, and she become the student council's president "Koneko-chan is doing some requests for a client and will be back soon!"

"Oh, okay!" He nodded his head and ate some cookies. They tasted really good and unique; he wondered if Akeno made this herself "Say Akeno-chan, can I ask you something?" Naruto swallowed the cookie and took another one. He really didn't want to do this, just in case, there something wrong between Akeno and Baraqiel. If they were blood related, she might hate him because of this, but Naruto has to clear a few things before he can find out what happened between them.

"Of course Naruto-sama" Akeno nodded her head.

"Akeno-chan…" He looked at Akeno "Are you part Fallen Angel?"

Akeno stopped dead in her tracks with her eyes wide; her gentle smile was immediately replaced with a cold and emotionless look.

'How does he know about 'that'?' Akeno wondered. She had tried to hide 'that' from everyone, especially Naruto. Fallen Angels had done a lot of bad things to Rias's peerage, her family, especially their new members. There was no way that Naruto would like her when he knew that she was one of 'them', the race that is the nemesis, enemy, of the Devils. And if Naruto didn't hate her for that, then he would hate her if he knew that she had killed her own race in cold blood and that she actually enjoyed it.

She always liked Naruto when they were young because Naruto not only spent his time with her king, but he also spent his time with Akeno and the others. She had come to know him more when they played, trained and did a lot of things that normal children would do together. Time passed and she was beginning to be attracted to his kind nature, his smile and his will. Akeno showed her feelings for Naruto by teasing him, or she would act like a mature woman, but in fact, deep down inside… she just wanted Naruto to look at her and her alone. To make it worse her sadistic nature always wanted Naruto to be the dominate one, and it really didn't mind her becoming his servant or slave.

When Naruto left for the mission, Akeno, like Rias, was hit hard by the fact that Naruto would be leaving them for a long time. At first, she had thought he would return in one month, but after her king's brother came out of his office and told them that Naruto wouldn't return anytime soon, she felt hurt because Naruto wouldn't return. She wanted to hate him and she cried just like Rias, but she had acted strong, for her king, by staying her usual self as much as possible. She knew that Naruto had to do this mission for the sake of the Devil World, but she was always hoping that he would return to her and to his family soon.

When she saw Naruto and what he did at Rias's engagement party, all the incoming problems he had to go through if he could save Rias from her unwanted fiancé, and the power Naruto showed the devil world that day. Naruto had finally captured her heart, and making him hate her was the last thing Akeno wanted to do right now, especially when the competition for Naruto's heart had became excruciatingly hard for someone like her. Her eyes began to water when she was ready to show Naruto what exactly she is, hoping that he won't hate her after this.

Her eyes went wide in shock when she felt Naruto's strong but gentle arms make their way around her body and press her tightly into his strong chest. Naruto was hugging her from behind with a warm smile on his face. The blond had felt her emotions and decided to do something for her, just to help Akeno calm down and tell him everything. The blond knew that keeping a secret like this wasn't healthy for her, especially if that secret connected to her blood relatives.

"Don't cry Akeno-chan!" Naruto said warmly to her, "Please don't cry, tears don't suit you at all!"

"Naruto-sama…" She shuddered under his breath, this was the first time she had been this closed to Naruto, and she didn't want him to let go, she wanted to stay like this forever but Akeno knew that she had to do this. She knew that sooner or later he would know about her.

Gently pulling herself out of Naruto arms, Akeno took a step forward and began to unbutton her shirt. Naruto waited patiently behind Akeno, he knew that she wasn't her usual self right now.

When Akeno finished, she pulled down her shirt so her shoulder blades could be visible to Naruto's eyes.

PA!

Naruto was expecting this, when the two wings flared out of her shoulder blades; the left one Naruto was very familiar with, the wing of devil, but the right one was the black wings of a Fallen Angel.

"Akeno-chan…"

"My father… is Baraquiel, one of the leaders of Fallen Angels" she said with disgusted in her voice "My mother is the daughter of a certain shrine maiden of this country. I heard that one day, my mother saved Baraquiel, who had collapsed from injuries, and from the fate of that day… I was born." Akeno said with a sad tone, Naruto instantly knew that something happened to her mother, for Akeno say her father's name with so much venom in her voice. She turned around to face him. Her eyes filled with sadness "I look disgusting, don't I?"

"Akeno-chan…" Naruto tried to talk but the fallen angel-devil girl simply smiled at him

"You don't have to say anything Naruto-sama…" tears appeared at the corners of her eyes, "I'm not completely Fallen Angel nor a full devil… these," she fold both of her wings around her and gripped the feathers of the Fallen Angel wing with her hand and furiously plucked the black feathers out of her wing, "these are dirty wings, I possess both of them," she laughed crazily while tears were flowing down her cheeks, "While hating these feathers, I met Rias and became a devil, but what was born were the feathers of a fallen angel and devil, a disgusting creature who possessed both wings. Fufufu, this may suit me, whom has dirtied blood flowing in her veins. I have the blood of a fallen angel in me, you know? Can you forgive me? Although I was reincarnated into a devil, the fact that I have the blood of a fallen angel in me doesn't change. …. I could have approached you wanting to get hated, you know? ...But, that's definitely not the case, I am the worst kind of woman…"

"AKENO, STOP!" Naruto tried to stop her, her emotions were a mix of sadness, anger, happiness, hatred… her spirit had been broken by the hatred for the Fallen Angels, because of her father.

The girl continued to pluck all the feathers out of Fallen Angel wing. With no other choice, Naruto pushed Akeno while his hands were holding both of her wrists and he pressed them firmly to the ground whilst using his weight to stop her from moving. The black feathers that had been plucked out of her wing lying beside them. Akeno was looking at Naruto's determined eyes, she knew that he would hate her, after all, who would want a disgusted subspecies to be near them.

"Akeno-chan, don't do this!" Naruto gritted his teeth at seeing her in such state. He had become familiar with the smiling, happy and seductive Akeno, so looking at her with desperation in her eyes like this really hurt him "I don't hate Fallen Angels, not a single one of them. And even if I did hate them, even if you have the blood of a fallen angel in you, I still can't hate you. You are and always will be Himejima Akeno, a kind and happy girl who always enjoys teasing me and my heart." He finished with his trademark grin and he released her wrists. Naruto used an arm to support himself while the other gently wiped the tears out of her beautiful violet eyes "You always look the best when you're smiling, so please don't cry Akeno-chan!"

Naruto let out a sigh of relief when he saw the usual gentle smile return to the girl's face and he decided to stand up. But he suddenly felt Akeno's arms make their way around his neck and lock with each other behind him, holding him firmly on top of her. Now the situation had changed and Naruto noticed the fact that her shirt had been pulled down to her stomach, showing everything from her neck down. Naruto's face reddened when he realized Akeno's breasts were slightly bigger than Rias's. Trying his best to not look at her bra clad breasts, he looked directly into her eyes and said nervously

"Um, Akeno-chan, we need to get up"

"Naruto-kun…" She whispered quietly, "…..You said some killing words… After hearing that… Why don't I get really serious?" Akeno looked at Naruto, deep into his shining blue eyes. Her chest was beating strongly against her chest.

"K-killing words?" Naruto stuttered, he was clearly sure that he didn't said anything wrong to her, he just told Akeno what he truly felt about her that's all "A-Akeno-chan, I just …"

"I have decided... Naruto-sama, do you like Rias?"

"Of course I do!" Naruto said "I like her, but I also like you, Neko-chan, Kiba-kun…. Of course I like all my friends"

"You're too kind Naruto-sama!" she smiled to him "Ravel-sama might already hold the position of your first legal one, Rias might be the next one after all…" Naruto's mind was working nonstop to understand what Akeno was talking about, "The first and second position can't be taken I guess…"

"W-What are you talking about Akeno-chan?"

"Naruto-sama… I won't mind being in the third position!" Akeno said finally and she hugged him tighter, trying to make him fall into her body "I think it's a comparatively good position. Above all there's the feeling of unfaithfulness that'll be burning."

"Akeno-chan…"

"Or, if possible, I could become your-"

"Become what Akeno?"

A cold and emotionless voice cut through Akeno's speech like a sharp knife cutting through paper. Naruto was familiar with this voice, but he couldn't imagine that it could become so cold like this. Damn it, he already faced a situation like this, this morning, now he was going to face another 'unique' situation just like it.

Slowly turning his head to look behind him, he could clearly see an angry Rias was standing in the doorway of the club room with a murderous look on her face. A crimson aura was covering her and it was so thick that he thought the door's frame was slowly disappearing because of her destructive power. Naruto's face slowly lost its color, seeing his angry childhood friend.

Rias stood in the door and scowled angrily. Akeno was lying on the floor with her top wide open while her arms were around Naruto's neck, and to make it worse Naruto was on top of her with his two hands at the sides of Akeno's head supporting him. If anyone that didn't know what Naruto is like before, they could clearly tell from this scene that the blond haired boy was trying to ravish Akeno, to which the black haired girl found really satisfying. But knowing Naruto and her queen's personalities for a long time, she already knew who was behind all this. Akeno, was definitely trying to make a move towards Naruto's heart, she cursed herself for telling Akeno about Grayfia this morning, because of that Akeno tried to boost her plan to a new level.

But… she couldn't help but feel angry at Naruto for not trying to get out of this position, after all, with his strength alone he could have easily gotten out of Akeno's grip.

"Rias-chan, it's not what it looks like!" Naruto tried to defend himself but he instantly felt a strong pull when he wasn't prepared. He felt his head smashing into something really soft and firm. He realized it was Akeno's heavenly bosom, the sensation of her soft skin and Akeno's alluring scent made his brain go wild.

"Yes Rias," Akeno smile seductively and ran her hand through Naruto's golden hair, she enjoyed the feeling of Naruto's head around her breast and found herself being addicted to it, "It is exactly what it's looks like… me and Naruto-sama are spending some… alone time with each other. With Naruto-sama being the dominate one… you could clearly see how rough he was when he destroyed my shirt like this!" Akeno purred and her cheeks redden when she felt Naruto's hot breath against her skin. The blond haired devil was trying to get out, but Akeno was putting every ounce of her strength into her hands to keep him there, she wanted to rub this in Rias's face, she tried to become the first person in his heart no matter what happened, so this irritated her.

A tick mark appeared in Rias's forehead and she stomped into the room before holding tightly onto Naruto's body and pulling him out of Akeno's grip. The priestess of thunder groaned in disappointment at the loss of warmth around her chest, but giggled when she saw Naruto's blushing face, he was so cute when he blushed or was embarrassed, yet so attractive and handsome when he got serious.

"Phew~! Thank you for …. OUCH! OUCH! "Naruto screamed out when Rias pinched his cheeks, HARD.

"You really enjoy this, don't you?" Rias puffed her cheeks in annoyed, it was bad enough that she had a dangerous rival like Grayfia, who was a perfect housewife with her mind always knowing what is best for others, then Akeno, who had a toner and sexier body than her, to make it worse, most of the teenage boys these days wanted a girlfriend like her, sadistic, yet submissive to her boyfriend alone kind of girl. To make it short, Akeno could be more dangerous than Grayfia. At least the maid knows what modesty is and behaves herself in front of Naruto.

Even though being pinched on the cheeks by Rias really hurt, Naruto couldn't help but find her face really cute when she puffed her cheeks like that.

Luckily for him, his savior came to help.

"Uh, what happened here?" Kiba stepped into the room with his usual smile but it quickly turned into a frown when he saw Rias was pinching Naruto's face, and that Akeno was standing up while her hand fixed the buttons on her shirt.

"uo tuly a night in shin anor Kika" He tried to talk but Rias put more effort into her pinch, making him wince in pain. Naruto grabbed Rias's wrist, trying to pull her fingers off of his cheeks and he scream out "Damn it, it hurts Rias-chan…"

"Hmnp!" She huffed and stomped away, stepping inside the bathtub and pulling the curtain forcefully, she then threw her clothes everywhere around the clubroom. Rias made sure to throw her panties right in Naruto face, but Akeno caught it first before Naruto could see it with a smile on her face. The black hair girl decided to walk around the room and pick up all the clothes for her king.

But when she walked passed Naruto, he suddenly caught her arm with his arm, making Akeno's eyes go wide. She looked at him to see that he was grinning at her. He lowered his head down to her ear and whispered quietly,

"If you want to talk Akeno-chan, feel free to come to me!"

Akeno's lips slightly parted open, but quickly formed into a beautiful smile. She looked at Naruto and nodded her head. The blond haired pawn grinned brightly and releasing her arm, allowing the black haired queen to continue her duties.

Naruto turned his head towards Kiba, seeing Rias's Knight, with a confused look on his face. Naruto smiled at him and put a finger on his lips.

Kiba had heard the short conversation between his two senpais, after seeing Naruto's action. He simply smiled and nodded his head in understanding.

Ten minutes later, Koneko returned to the clubroom with her usual blank face. After seeing Naruto sitting on the sofa and drinking tea while eating cookies that Akeno was happily serving him, the white haired girl quickly climbed onto Naruto's lap and quietly snuggled into his chest, she then took out the cake Naruto had given her this morning. Naruto smiled when he felt Koneko happily eating the cake and he put his hand on top of her head and began rubbing her soft hair slowly. Koneko's hair style hasn't changed at all, but it looked longer and her cat-shaped hair clip made her even cuter.

When Issei and Asia finally came to the room, Rias finished her bath and got out, but she was still a little angry at Akeno and Naruto, especially the former.

The club quickly finished eating their lunches together with Akeno and Rias taking turns feeding Naruto, to which the blond haired boy actually found himself enjoying their attention. He sometimes returned the favor to the both of them. Koneko didn't look too happy about it, but Naruto had let her sit on his lap while she ate her lunch while he was collecting natural energy for her, that's all she need for right now. Kiba sat near Naruto, eating his lunch while answering every question Naruto asked him. Issei looked at the scene in front of him with jealousy, but also worship for his blond senpai for actually becoming the harem king, but he didn't feel letting that out at all because Asia had fed him with a her usual innocent smile.

When they finished the lunch, Rias announced to everyone that the ball tournament was coming near and as one of the clubs of Kuoh Academy; they would have to join the tournament and win. While the normal clubs were no match for the strength and stamina of devils, they held a great threat to their victory along with the Student Council, the group that was actually Sona Sitri's peerage. Sona is Rias's best friend and rival. Naruto nodded his head in understanding, the magical signatures he felt around the academy were definitely the members of Sona's peerage, whom they would meet with after lunch. Both peerages all wanted to introduce their new members to each other.

True to Rias's words, after they had finished their lunches, the door of the clubroom opened and the first one to step in was Sona Shitori, or Sona Sitri, the heiress of the Sitri Clan and the sister of the Maou, Serafall Leviathan, and the president of the Student Council. Standing next to her was Tsubaki Shinra, the vice-president of the Student Council, and the one that leaded him around the academy this morning when Naruto went to the headmaster's office. The rest of the Student Council slowly made their way into the clubroom; Naruto recognized some of them because he had talked with a few girls from the student council this morning.

Naruto decided to move into the corner of the room so Rias could feel comfortable introducing Issei and Asia to the rest of the Sona's peerage, while the short black haired girl introduced Genshirou Saji to the couple. To say Issei was pissed when Saji didn't respect his fellow Pawn and was being a little too close to the former nun, both Pawns tried to crush each other's hand in a handshake, while both Rias and Sona sighed in disappointment at the duo, making Naruto chuckle a little when the two were being scolded by each of their masters.

Hearing the laugh from Naruto, the Student Council turned their heads towards Naruto's location, some of the girls blushed furiously after seeing him. The girls in Rias's peerage couldn't blame them at all, it was because they have known Naruto for a long time so they have gotten used to his charm and appearance, and weren't affected… much anyway. Once before, Rias overheard from the girls in the third and second year classes talking about how Naruto had saved them from the being peeked on when they were changing their clothes by the perverted male students, she also heard he beat the hell out Rias's unwanted admirers because they have said she was theirs, and theirs alone. While Rias had taken care of them long ago, the group never gave up on her, when she heard that Naruto had taken care of them once and for all, she was really happy to know that he cared for her so much, even though it's just a normal problem.

"Oh, I didn't see you there Naruto-san!" Sona bowed her head to him, making the members of her peerage eyes go wide "it's good to meet you again!"

"Me too Sona-san," Naruto walked up to her and shook Sona's hand, "doing well I hope!"

"Yes, I have been doing well, Naruto-san!" Sona nodded her head. When Naruto's position had been declared to the Devil World, her sister had revealed her some information that she knew about Naruto to her. Sona was really surprised when she found out that Naruto had spent the last two years in the Angel's territory, Heaven. Naruto was also known as the devil with the highest potential alive, one that could become a powerful devil one day. The 'Elder Devil Council' always kept an eye on Naruto, hoping that they could make Naruto work for them to prevent him from turning his back on them, but he had all four Maou back him up. Sona shivered when she remembered the way her sister licked her lips when she said Naruto's name with her 'innocent' face. Sona knew that her sister was just playing around. She had never loved anyone truthfully anyway; she just liked to mess around with their feelings, truly a devil in the form of child girl.

"So, Sona-san, I see that you have a fine peerage don't you?" Naruto asked looking at the group behind Sona. A few of them flinched under his gazed.

"Yes Naruto-san!" Sona turned around and said "Everyone, this is Naruto Uzumaki, the one I have told you guys about, so treat him well will you" she said sternly, earning a gasp from her peerage.

This morning, their master had them about the incident three days ago with the Phenex Clan and a Pawn of Sirzechs Lucifer having faced the entirety of Riser's Phenex, including himself, peerage and he managed to beat all of them without even trying to fight seriously with his unimagined power. Not only that, they also knew that he is the childhood friend of the heiress to the Gremory Clan.

But no one imagined 'that' Naruto Uzumaki was the blond that they talked to this morning.

"Hello everyone!" Naruto waved while grinning their way.

"It's nice to meet you, Naruto-sama!" all the girls bowed their heads towards Naruto, making the blond haired boy flinch and wonder whenever he could get rid of this 'Sama' thing that everyone says. Rias looked at Naruto's embarrassed form and smiled while Akeno giggled quietly behind her king.

"WOW, to think that someone like this is your senpai!" Saji muttered next to Issei, making the pervert turned his head to the fellow Pawns and scowls. The two quickly turned towards each other angry and ready to fight.

After Sona had pulled Saji out of the clubroom, Naruto and everyone else returned to what they were doing. Rias had announced that to strengthen their bond between themselves, tomorrow morning after class they would go to Issei and Asia's house. The idea made the perverted boy stunned afterwards he lowered his head in desperation. While Rias was talking about the training they would do before the Ball Tournament, Naruto saw Akeno sitting at the end of the couch with a soft smile on her face; it was the first time that he saw Akeno smile like that.

After finishing Naruto's first day of school, Naruto and Rias returned to their house. While walking, the couple talked about everything such as school. This might have been the first day for Naruto, but he had a lot of fun and he really enjoyed the school life there with his friends, and he wondered why he didn't take the education given at school earlier. There was the school for normal class devils, but Rias's mother, Venelana, wanted him to have a proper education and she volunteered herself to be Naruto's tutor. Compared her and the teacher at Kuoh, it's was like comparing a tiger and a white, cute rabbit.

Suddenly, Naruto was standing in front of his house; he felt two familiar magical signatures inside the mansion. One of them is definitely Grayfia, the other is definitely a devil, because he knew that he had felt this signatures somewhere before. Naruto turned his head towards his childhood friend and saw she was scowling, maybe she recognized it.

Opening the door, the first person Naruto saw was Grayfia. The white haired maid was standing in the alley with her usual stoic face, her hand was folded in front of her skirt and her body was in a deep bow.

"Welcome home Naruto-sama, Rias-sama."

"Hello to you too, Grayfia-nee," Naruto nodded his head towards the maid and raised his head to look inside the house, he could see a few suitcase and packages at the corner of the alley, maybe someone he knew had come here to most likely stay at his house, but the blond haired devil wondered who it could be.

"Grayfia, do we have a guest?" She asked the white haired maid, Naruto could hear that she tried to avoid using the right words to tell the situation.

"Yes Rias-sama!" Grayfia nodded her head, "Ravel-sama is here…" Naruto dropped his mouth in surprise, what was she doing here. Naruto could remember clearly the morning after his wedding crashing, Ravel's mother had come to Naruto and told him that he and Ravel were officially husband and wife now, and that he could be called Naruto Phenex, a member of the Phenex Clan if he wanted to. Naruto had tried to return the tears to Ravel, hoping that Ravel could choose her husband, someone she truly loves and one that she would willingly give her tears to, not someone that she felt a need to apologize to since she had thought that she humiliated him in front of everyone. She wanted to give him the ultimate apology so that he would forgive her for what she did. The result wasn't expected in Naruto's mind because after that, Ravel had fallen to her knees and began crying about how he had rejected her. Naruto had no other choice than to accept the engagement between him and Ravel.

It's not like he didn't like Ravel, the youngest child of the Phenex Clan is really beautiful, and if she looked just like her mother, than she would become a heartbreaker in the future. But he didn't want to take away her choice of being with her true love, and he already had his eyes on a certain crimson haired girl. If he was going to become her husband and couldn't change that engagement, and Naruto doubted Rias or Akeno or anyone would attack the engagement to save him just like what he did for Rias, Naruto would try to become a perfect husband for Ravel, the sight of a crying girl really broke his heart and it made him feel like an ass.

Suddenly, Naruto heard the sound of footsteps from the kitchen, Ravel stepped out while wearing an apron around her waist, her drill-like hair was being held up in a big pony-tail on top of her head, her hands were covered in cream and flour. Ravel gasped when she saw Naruto and bowed deeply to him.

"Welcome home Naruto-sama!"

"Ravel?"

"From now on, I'm going to be staying at the Uzumaki Mansion, please take care of me Naruto-sama, everyone!" Ravel bowed to everyone.

"Ravel, I thought you said you wouldn't come here until next month?" Naruto turned his head to Rias, so his childhood friend knew about this. He wondered why she didn't tell him that Ravel was coming, maybe she was planning too. Anyways, she just said that she thought Ravel wouldn't come here until next week.

Rias looked at the blonde, out of all the girls she knows that has feelings for Naruto. Ravel was the girl she liked the most, and didn't mind sharing Naruto with her. But Ravel was already engaged with Naruto, and they're officially husband and wife now. Rias knew that if she didn't become Naruto's first wife, then she would compete with Ravel to become the first girl in his heart. Rias knew that the blonde also knew that her feeling for Naruto were really deep from the conversation she had with Ravel before the engagement party.

"Yes Rias-sama, but the delivery was faster than I thought, and my mother had allowed me to stay at Naruto-sama's house so that we could get to know each other," Ravel blushed while she played with her apron, cutely, Naruto gulped loudly, wondering about how all the girls around him could be so cute, sexy and dangerous.

"Ravel, you don't have to do that you know!" Naruto said, "You could have called me so I could have helped you bring all your suitcases and things here," Rias's eyes turned sharp and she internally cursed Naruto's caring nature, it really annoyed her sometimes. Grayfia turned her head from Ravel to Naruto, wondering if he would do the same thing for her if she wanted to completely move here as a resident of the Uzumaki mansion, and not as his personal maid.

"Thank you Naruto-sama," Ravel smiled, her face reddened a little more, "And by the way Naruto-sama, Sirzechs-sama also told me that I'm here to become your personal manager!" she said proudly with her chest puffed out, Naruto guessed no matter where Ravel was, she could never push those 'noble lady' actions out of her life.

"Manager, what for?" He asked in disbelief, he already has a personal maid, one who was more that capable enough to do every single job he asked, even the jobs a normal manager did.

"Let me explain for you Ravel-sama!" Grayfia suddenly said, and Naruto swore he heard some displeasure in her normal monotone "Apparently, Sirzechs-sama had seen the way you took missions and requests, exhausting yourself by working non-stop. Ravel-sama is here to become your manager; she will choose the best missions for you and balance the times so that you can keep your help."

"Yes, you should feel lucky that you have someone like me to sort everything for you… hohoho!" Ravel covered her mouth with her hand and laughed. Naruto sweat drops at the girl. He should have felt this coming sooner when he met her two years ago, Ravel had proven herself to be a fine manager, she cared deeply for his well being and health, even giving her tears to him to make sure that he would be safe in Heaven. Come to think of it, Naruto knew absolutely nothing about a full-blooded Phenex's tears and how they work. Maybe later tonight he should go down to the library and do some research about them.

"Oh, okay…" Naruto nodded his head, "So where's dinner, I'm really hungry right now!" he grinned when his stomach growled. The two heiresses giggled quietly while the maid just shook her head at the blond and excused herself to go to the kitchen with Ravel and Rias.

Naruto stood up from the couch to take a nice bath when his mansion's door bell rang out. Curious, Naruto decided to open the door before Grayfia could get to it; she was already busy with cooking dinner.

But when Naruto opened the door, he was quickly hugged by a certain black haired queen with a sadistic personality.

"Akeno-chan?" Naruto said out in surprise, his cheeks redden when Akeno clung to him like glue and didn't let go, Naruto felt her big bosoms pressed firmly against his chest, and it looked like she was trying to squeeze the life out of him.

"Ufufu… good afternoon Naruto-sama" She made her body stand back a little, but her arms were still wrapped around his back "you don't mind if I stay here with you from now on, do you?"

Naruto could hear footsteps behind him then he heard a chorus of gasps while Rias scowls behind him.

"Akeno, what are you doing here?" Rias said out in shock, if she had been right, then Akeno didn't plan to come here at all. When Rias thought about it, she knew Akeno just loved to tease her and Naruto's relationship but then she grew feeling for him but even then it was just a small crush, nothing special even though Akeno always claiming that she would have Naruto. When her brother has decided that anyone who wanted to live with Naruto when his house turned into a mansion, could feel free to go and stay with him in his house. Rias had thought Akeno might be the first one to raise her hand and come here, even before her. But the black haired queen just sat there and teased her afterwards when Rias had packed up her belongings and got ready to go to Naruto's house.

Rias had no idea why Akeno was here. Then realization dawned on her, could it be that what she thought about her queen was wrong… That Akeno truly loved Naruto.

"Ara Ara, Ufufufu" Akeno giggled "Rias, last time I checked, Sirzechs-sama said that I could come here and live with Naruto if I wanted to. And I'm sure Naruto-sama won't mind another resident, will you Naruto-sama?" she hugged him even tighter and put her head on his shoulder. Rias's aura began flaring out in her anger while Ravel was torn between jealousy and fear, of all the devils standing in the Uzumaki mansion, Ravel knew she was the weakest of them all, and there was no way she could survive in the battle between these devils.

"You can stay here if you want to Akeno-chan!" Naruto nodded his head while trying to get out of Akeno's grip as gently as possible.

She nodded her head and said happily, "Oh thank you Naruto-sama," Akeno let go of Naruto and went out of the door to get her belonging.

While waiting for the girls, now with Akeno working in the kitchen with them, Naruto decided to take a long nice bath to cool his head off. He couldn't believe that so many things happened today, first he woke up in the morning with Rias naked at his side and then Grayfia stripped out of her clothes and decided to join them. Then the incident with Akeno at the clubroom, he knew that he didn't have to bring up the bad memories about her father Baraqiel, but sooner or later, she would have to face it, and Naruto wanted to be there for her, to do that he has to know what happened between them and by the sound of it, Akeno's hatred involved her late mother.

And then Ravel came to his home and claimed to be his manager, not that he minded anyway, she was a good girl, and a good manager too. But he felt some kind of strange glare between Grayfia's silver eyes and Ravel's dark blue eyes. Maybe the maid felt threatened about Ravel taking away her job as his personal maid or something like that. The next problem was Akeno coming to his house and deciding to live here from now on. Grayfia had let her use the room on the third floor, right above Naruto's.

What a stressful day, not physically but mentally, those girls are driving him crazy.

"Old tradition … old tradition, ah, here it is!" Naruto smiled and pulled the book out of the bookcase.

After they had dinner, he had decided to come to the library to do some research about a full-blooded Phenex's tears. Naruto chuckled a little when he remembered what had happened at dinner. Akeno and Rias, like lunch, took turns feeding him while Ravel was trying hard to not do the same, he knew that her pride as a lady wouldn't allow her to do that, then again, Rias was a lady like her, and she didn't have any troubles did that, maybe it was because Rias liked a normal life, not a noble life.

But the tables had turned onto Ravel's favor when Naruto had her hand-made chocolate cake, which was really delicious and could be the best cake he had ever tasted in his life. Of course the others weren't happy or seemed to be pleased when Naruto praised her work, while the Phenex girl just laughed, saying that he should feel lucky because he had a lady make the cake for him and that he was the first one that she ever allowed to taste her cake.

Naruto sat down and put the book on the table then he opened it, trying to find the Phenex's tradition that had bound him and Ravel together. He could see a lot of old traditions here. All of them were from the 72 pillars, but most of them from the clans that had disappeared during and after the Great War, which didn't seem so surprising because they were all marriage traditions.

"Ah. Here," Naruto turned to page one thousand and two and saw the words 'full-blooded Phenex's tears' written at the top and a picture of the sacred beast of Phenex Clan, the Phoenix.

Full-blooded Phenex's tears

Of all the traditional ways to get engaged to a devil, the tears of a full-blooded Phenex could be the most sacred and special. This traditional could only be inherited by a female Phenex, who will start to collect her tears when she is only one year old. Full-blooded Phenexes rarely cry, most people thought it was because of their luxurious life that always made them always happy. When the full-blooded Phenex female matures enough to feel love, she will give the tears to someone she cherished the most in her life, and the two are officially bonded to each other. The tears themselves can't be faked.

The tears themselves are very special, while the tears from a Phoenix or a non-full-blooded Phenex could cure any wounds, it couldn't heal the wounds created by bacteria and other living beings, like diseases or viruses because a Phoenix's tears could only heal living beings, and not kill those to cure. But the tears of a full-blooded Phenex could cure anything, even from the most poisonous poison of the Hydra or the Evil dragon, Samael. Also, the tears protect the holder from the fires created by the one that had given him, the holder, her tears.

When the holder drinks the tears, their lives completely bond to each other, giving the holder a strong boost in their fire magic, and even gaining nearly the same amount of regeneration as the Phenex clan, he would also gain the Phenex's immortal life, but there was no evidence that proves if the chosen died, the Phenex would die as well. The tears also bring some fortune into the chosen's life.

Please note that said effects can't appear if the Phenex girl didn't love the one that holds her tears, so any way to take the tears by force to achieve the tear's power can't be used. If you hold the tears without the love, you will be dead the day after.

Also, her love for the holder would be absolutely pure, no jealousy, no fake, just pure love between the two. Their affection towards the other will only grow stronger to the point they could understand each other perfectly when time passes by.

Because the Phoenix was the sacred beast of Love and Passion, if the chosen returns the tear to her, she will die slowly and painfully because of the lack of love and finally disappear into nothingness despite being call immortal.

Naruto closed the book and leaned his head on the chair. So, Ravel must have some feelings for him, or else he would have been hurt by her flame at the engagement party. He slapped his hands together and summoned the bottle of tears Ravel had given him long ago.

The liquid inside the bottle was Ravel's tears, the most important thing to her, and the thing that was binding them together. He cursed himself as he remembered the day he wanted to return the tears to her, she had been so sad and distracted, Ravel had cried so much that she nearly passed away. He couldn't think what would have happened if he had returned them to her.

Naruto stood up and put the tears into his pocket, if what the book said was true, then his feelings for Ravel would change the more time that passes by, then maybe the idea of becoming a 'Harem King' like Issei's dream wasn't so bad after all.
