Chapter 2: Make a Mark Part 1

"So this mysterious brother of yours is finally coming to our academy?" Rias asked while sitting in her arm chair. Shio and Miso sat across from her on a couch as they spoke. Miso chose to answer the questions for them.

"Hai onii-chan had been traveling the world for the past few years since he was 11 years old so we only saw him on occasions since then. Since while skilled he was still a human, obaa-san felt that he would be better protected as well as enjoy life more if he got to see the world. So she sent member's of our clans Anbu guard to watch over him and teach him. Its harder to keep track of humans than it is almost any other race of beings afterall."

Rias nodded in thought. The Anbu guards of her clan if she remembered right from what Shio told her in the past where a group of select human magicians and shinobi who acted as the Kitsune clans human eyes and ears across the world when the foxes weren't already involved themselves. The situation still sounded strange to her but she supposed there must have been a good enough reason for the older sibling to go off traveling the world. And even if there wasn't her interest had certainly been peaked to see the secret brother of 2 of her friends. They had first met years ago when they were around 12 years old.

Apparently her brother had a meeting with the head of the Youkai Faction, Yasaka. They had been able to create a local truce centered around the girls with the conditions that the twins would be under the Gremory's protection while they attended the academy. Yasaka had other duties to take care of after all as well as a young daughter of her own to take care of now. Knowing the political and social status of the girls Sirzechs new how serious to take this. Of course the level of protection was lax now since the girls were a lot more able and at the level they were at now if any stray supernatural beings did come into the area who were stronger than them they would be sensed by all of them. These conditions were met but Yasaka made it especially clear that they were to not be apart of a peerage. She did not want to just send her nieces of as anyone's servants.

Though the Gremory family treated their peerage like family that wasn't the point. At first the relationship between the girls was awkward as Rias didn't have many friends and had never met a Kitsune and the twins were cautious about without their brother for multiple reasons. Though eventually they warmed to each other and became fast friends.

"So this brother of yours is normal?" Rias rose an eyebrow at this somewhat disappointed though confused. It was very unlikely for a normal human to be born from supernatural beings. Even with one of the parents being human, with youkai especially it was near impossible.

If she remembered right they called it the Youkai Effect with hybrids. No matter what the youkai child is mixed with that youkai blood, if it isn't potent at first will become so overtime multiplying until they can be recognized as pure. Thats while most youkai are full blood and why their half breeds have so much potential compared to hybrids from most other species. And with Youukai halfbreeds the other blood wasn't just canceled out. It was like it was kept separate all together. So while Kitsune had human forms, halfbreeds like Shio and Miso's human forms will actually have their DNA read off as 100% human. Not all that important but it does have some uses. In fact that was believed to be the main reason why so many Kitsune had human forms was because many of their ancestors had been halfbreeds at some point.

It was kinda unfair to the evolution balance to Rias as that meant it was very hard for Youkai blood to become completely diluted which means their population could always recover. Though the fact that most kept inside their species it evened things out. But that meant that how this mystery sibling was human was an even bigger mystery to her. Something had to have been missed, maybe the twins just didn't know about it.

Shio coughed into his hand. "I wouldn't say he's normal... just not like us." Rias was confused at this.

"What do you mean?"

"Well while he wasn't born the same as we were he has grown to excel at just about everything, but thats our onii-chan. You could say it makes up for things." Interesting, but she was sure they were exaggerating some for their sibling.

*Monday morning*

Miso and Shio could be seen in their desks next to the window chewing on their pencils in nervous anticipation. The bell rang for class signaling its start and everyone got in their seats. Rias whispered to Shio from behind her, "Wasn't your brother supposed to be arriving?"

Shio whispered back to her, "I don't know he is supposedly running late."

He was supposed to come home over the weekend so they could spend time together but he got delayed for whatever reason. They didn't here much from their aunt only that she had gone to get him from the airport this morning so he might not even show up till tomorrow.

20 minutes later there was a knock on the door. The teacher went to the door and after a minute returned with a tall blonde male. The twins instantly perked up as they were able to recognize him instantly but then sweat dropped afterwards.

The boy stood at around 6 feet tall and had messy downward spikes of blond hair that went down over his eyes. He had to black spikes of hair on top of his head that fell down sideways while the rest of his hair went down. On the lower half of his face that was visible you could make out whisker marks and a stupid smile.

He wore the standard guys blazer and dress shirt that was standard to the school open, exposing a purple shirt and an out of place orange tie that made Shio's brow twitch. It was out of place and she was pretty sure he knew this too and did it on purpose. Though the twins had to admit he grew up well...

"Okay class it looks like our expected new student has finally arrived. Young man could you please introduce yourself to the class." The blond stood straight to the class and spoke in a not-all-there voice.

"Ohaiyo everyone! My name is Uzumaki Naruto and I am an artist!" He swung his arms out spread eagle at the last word for emphasis and held it there until the teacher spoke up. Shio and Miso felt like burying themselves in their desks from embarrassment.

Shio facepalm at the idea. 'So he's an artist now? What happened to Rocket Scientist years ago?!'

Miso was having thoughts of her own. 'I thought he wanted to be a famous ramen chef...'

Shio didn't know why but at that moment she felt the need to deadpan over at her younger twin sister.

The teacher coughed into her hand and read out some of the information she had been given on him.

"According to this you are apparently the older sibling to our Miso-san and Shio-san!" This got gasp from the class and more of Rias attention.

"This also says that by your grades and test scores that you have been given the spot of the number one student!?" Miso and Shio smirked at this and from hearing the murmurs from the class. Rias however had her own thoughts.

'I have to say that is remarkable but Sona-chan isn't going to like this. Though this boy certainly doesn't look like one who would have that kind of academic level. His grades would have had to basically been perfect for years to have been able to take that spot from her.'

The class suddenly broke out into chatter.

"I didn't know the vixens had a brother?!"

"He's kinda cute."

"The blond hair makes him look like a punk!"

"His hair color kinda does resemble Miso-chan's."

"The black on to makes him look kawaii like some kind of animal or dog!"

"Great now another guy to attract all the attention..."

"He has the kawaii whisker marks like the twins as well!"

"Wow he's kinda tall."

"Their brother must be some kind of genius to have grades that good."

"Where has he been all this time if he's their brother?"

"He's so kawaii I can see another fan-club brewing!"

"He looks like an idiot."

"I ship Naruto X Kiba-kun!"

Naruto sweatdropped with his head down at all the comments.

'I head me associated with the word kawaii several times and im pretty sure I don't like that last one...'

The teacher coughed into her hand to get the attention back on her.

"Right well Naruto-san since you will be apparently holding so much status at our academy and have become a person of interest in such a short period of time could you maybe tell us a bit more about yourself?"

Naruto signed to himself. "Very well sensei." The twins, Rias, and a majority of the class caught how it was like his how presence was changing. Naruto ran a hand back through his hair spiking it up and exposing his deep blue eyes and slitted pupils. At the sight the girls in the class and even the teacher all blushed at his strong handsome features. Where as before he looked good with his hair down now it was like his sex appeal multiplied and his demeanor was a lot more serious. Like some kind of strong individual that demanded obedience and respect wherever he walked. The twins felt a foreign feeling stirring inside them at the change while the class broke out into chatter again.

"My kami he's hot!"

"He actually looks like someone with good grades now."

"Yeah but not with grades that good. Thats still surprising."

"I think his face just made me pregnant!"

"I wonder if he'll join our club."

"I have found my idol."

"Great now he will take even more of the ladies attention for himself..."

"I'm already wet."

"That hair spike move was kinda awesome."

"He is definitely going to be the dominant in my NaruYuu fanfiction!"

"Oh my god you girls are freaking nasty!"

Shio and Miso bit their pencils in half on reflex at some of the things they heard which Rias noted for later.

Naruto let this go on for a little longer before he heard enough.

"Silence."

It was a strong and firm command that made the class go silent and give him their undivided attention. He mentally flinched when he was certain he saw some of the girls blushing after the way he said that. Ignoring it he continued.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto and I am 17 years old. I am the other sibling of Shio and Miso Uzumaki by 9 months and I am fluent in 5 different languages. I have been traveling the world and just came back from living in America. I have a photographic memory and the memory of an elephant. I am great at sports, music, academics, cooking, art, and have yet to find something I do poorly in. The answer to the problem on the board is √sin(53.325). I have no real interest in clubs and prefer to be left to my own devices. And if it wasn't clear yet it will become so very soon that I have no problems showing off when I want to. That is all"

'Thats all?!'

"O-okay Naruto-san well thats... good we didn't know we would be getting such a... talented and cultured individual. Wait that answer is write! How did you know the answer when I hadn't even finished putting it on the board, ignoring the fact that you should not have been able to do that complex of a problem that easily?"

"I glanced at the open textbook on your desk and was able to figure out what problem you were likely working on."

"O-oh well g-good job Naruto-san. I hope you enjoy your time here in my class. You may take the set behind Miso-san next to Rias-san." Naruto just nodded as he put his hands in his pockets and ignored the gazes of the classroom as he walked to the back near the windows where his seat was. As he walked down the row he locked eyes with Miso and Shio who were second from the back. The girls froze and didn't know how to react under that kind of dominating gaze from his sharp blue eyes and subconsciously looked up at him in an almost submissive manner like they were in trouble for some reason.

Their gaze stayed locked for a few seconds. After a few seconds Naruto's spiked hair died back down to covering his eyes and next thing the girls knew they were pull out of there desks into a bear hug. The girls were stunned at what was happening as they were shaken as Naruto rubbed his face into their chests making the guys in the class extremely jealous.

"Aww my sweet little imoutos! I've missed you two so much!" Naruto paused with his face still in their chests and thought for a second.

"Hmm... Well you too aren't that little anymore now are you?" Realizing slowly what he just said the girls eyes widened and there faces turned red.

*Pow!*

Shio took a deep breath to cool her flushed face as after she just punched Naruto's had into the ground. "I-It's nice to see you too onii-sama..."

Miso was too embarassed and just covered her face with her hands. Rias just watched in amusement. But grew anxious when he directed his attention her. Naruto got off the ground and dusted himself off. He gave Rias a mock bow.

"Uzumaki Naruto at your service! Please treat me well."

*Lunch time*

While the students were on their break Naruto brought his stuff with him to lay against a tree in the grass with his eyes closed. He didn't show any reaction when he heard people approach him.

"Onii-sama why didn't you wait for us...?" Naruto without opening his eyes could tell it was Miso's voice. Which of course meant that Shio was next to her.

"*Yawns*...well I guess I could have but I knew you two would find me anyway.

He heard shuffling before a meek voice. "Are... are you mad at me for hitting you earlier onii-sama." This time it was Shio. Though their voices were near identical he had no problems telling them apart.

Naruto sat up and opened his eyes to look at them though they still couldn't see his eyes because of the hair. Shio looked nervous that he was mad.

"What? No why would I be mad? I did that on purpose. Its been years since the last time I was able to publicly embarass my cute imoutos."

"Onii-sama thats mean!" Miso pouted at this while Shio gained a small smile. This was just like when they were younger. Guess he was still mostly the same. After a few moments Naruto broke the silence again.

"By the way Shio-chan you are supposed to be the assertive twin. You can't have such a dark choice in underwear and then act bashful."

"I'm not being bashful-," she paused for a few seconds before a dark blush rose on her face. "Wait how the hell do you know what I'm wearing!?" Miso giggled at this.

"I know more about you two than you may think I do." The ominous tone he suddenly spoke in made them flinch as the suddenly grew very nervous.

"Wha- what do you mean by that."

"Well I am your brother after all. Kind of part of my job. I got something for you two." Now their nervousness was replaced with curiosity. When Naruto pulled out 2 orange fox plushes that curiosity was replaced with nervousness again. As Naruto handed them to the twins who cautiously took them Naruto gave him a questioning head tilt.

"You girls are the Vixens right?" Both girls blurted out against their better wishes.

"What?!"

"...That is your title at this school right?" The girls quickly schooled themselves and nodded with an awkward laugh.

For a second they thought they saw Naruto grin. They hated that they could read him as well with his hair covering his eyes.

"H-Hai thats what they call us hehe." Shio rubbed her head nervously with a chuckle. After a few moments Naruto laid back on the tree.

"I have to say impressed. I've kept my tabs on you two and you girls have come a long way while I was traveling the world. I can feel that you have become quite confident and independent. Plus you girls are tied for rank #4 in your class...Well its #5 now that I'm hear but still I'm proud of you too. I was already happy to be your brother when I left. Hearing how well you two did while I was gone made me even happier and if anything served as motivation for me at times." He smiled to himself at the end.

The girls blushed and looked bashful at the unexpected praise.

"A-arigatou Onii-sama but you are too kind. We just didn't want to fall too far behind you in your absence." 'And we wanted to keep you safe.'

"Well you two don't need to worry about that.

They talked some more as the girls sat next to him to eat lunch. After a while the bell ring for them to return to class. Naruto got up with a stretch as his sisters followed behind him.

"Well since you two got a title it wouldn't be right if I, the older sibling, didn't have one of his own now would it?." The ever cute Miso tilted her head at him as they walked.

"What are you going to do then Onii-sama?"

Naruto grinned himself as they re-entered the school building. He was aware that the whole time people were staring at him and talking. If they didn't know who he was it wouldn't be long before they did. He would make sure of it.

"Oh just a few things to submit my status at this academy. I fill like "King" has a nice ring to it..." If there was an irony in that it was lost on him.

*Student Council Office*

Two girls who could be seen playing chess suddenly sneezed. One was Rias Gremory while the other was a slim attractive meganekko with a stern expression. This glasses wearing female went by the name Souna Shitori. Though right now she looked to be in a bad mood because she had just found out about a certain someone taking her spot at the top.

Rias just had a small amused look on her face. She knew her old friend wouldn't accept it. All that she could do is see how the meganekko would respond to being outranked.

*Physical Education Class*

Naruto could be seen with the other guys stretching his arms while wearing a dark grey tracksuit with white accents as was the uniform for the boys in gym. He was actually one of the few guys who were still wearing their track suit as it was warm enough to be without it in just their shorts and shirts.

He looked over towards the other side of the gym where he looked eyes with his sisters for a second as they did stretches of their own. The girls went without their tracksuits and wore a white shirt with navy blue bloomers like the rest of the girls. He saw his sisters talking to two other girls. One he recognized as Rias from his homeclass whereas the other...

'Hello!'

Naruto looked her over and saw that she was about the same height as his sisters at 5" 6'. She had extremely long black hair tied in a high ponytail by an orange ribbon, 'Orange!', and went down her back with two strands sticking out on top of her head. Her figure gained his attention... 'Oh my god that chest!'... quickly as she had a figure similar to his sisters and Rias but had bigger breasts than all of them. As if sensing his gaze she looked at him dead in the eye catching him off guard. Especially since it was hard to even see his eyes through his hair up close but she was a ways away. He was able to get a clear look at her violet, 'God I love that color', eyes as they had their short staring contest. She narrowed her eyes at him and gave him a small smile that caused him to narrow his, though it couldn't be see, and grinned at her. She was setting off several warnings in his head that made him restless. Her name was Himejima Akeno

As if she felt something off Miso looked up from her stretching. "Akeno-chan are you ok?" At that she broke eye contact with Naruto and eye smiled at Miso.

"Ah gomen Miso-chan it seems I got distracted. Your brother certainly seems like an interesting individual." She looked over at her brother confused only to see him walking off with the other boys. 'Huh?'

Naruto took a breath and scratched his head. "Why do I feel like I was just challenged somehow?"

Naruto was already sitting his mark in gym with everything they did pushups he did them one-handed and faster so that by the end he did almost twice as much as everyone else. When they ran he was faster and ran longer without any visible exhaustion. When they climbed the rope he didn't use his legs to brace himself and did it in record time. This trend continued with everything. He sat out against the wall while the others played their sports activities. He felt something roll into his side and looked down to see a basketball.

"Gomenasai Uzumaki-senpai! The ball got away from us!" He looked up to see a relatively normal yet cute flustered girl apologizing to him as she bowed.

Naruto stood up with the ball and waved his hand. "Yare yare its alright no have done, and you don't have to use my surname." He gave her a charming grin that made her blush. "H-h-h-h-hai Naruto senpai if thats what you want!" Naruto looked up at the clock on the wall and saw it was about time to go change in the lockers.

His grin showed his canines as his hair spiked up and parted enough to show one eye through the shadows of his hair. As if they felt it his two sisters who were under the hoop at the other end of the court suddenly stood at attention when he looked at them. "Hey~ you wouldn't mind if I took a shot would you?"

The girl grew even more frazzled at his suddenly wild presence. "S-s-s-s-sure g-go right ahead...huh?" She got confused as Naruto turned and walked towards the boys locker room. Without missing a beat Naruto tossed the ball behind him. Apparently most of the students in the gym had been watching him ever sense he picked up the basketball so they saw him when he threw the ball. All their eyes followed it as it flew through the air across the court showing that Naruto had more strength in one arm than he appeared to.

As the ball approached the hoop-

*Swish*

-It went straight through the net smoothly and dropped into Shio's hands who was waiting right under the hoop. Everyone stood there surprised silent for a moment.

'Hehehe...' Shio nervously chuckled to herself.

"Hey Miso-chan?"

"Nee-chan?"

"Are we sure that their isn't something about Onii-sama that we missed?"

"I know what you mean."

"Hai, something just... feels off." 'And whats with his hair?!"

Rias stood with Akeno off too the side and giggled to herself. 'Naruto-kun you certainly are an interesting person.'

*END*
