Chapter : 12

"Not really," Naruto shrugged, "Your hair color is a lot different than mom's. They may both be red, but hers was a lot lighter, while yours is more of a crimson." He grinned as he placed his hands behind his head and looked up at the sky. "I just think you have really beautiful hair." He looked back down at Rias, his grin widening. "That's all."

"I-I see..."

Rias looked away, causing the blond to tilt his head curiously. Had he said something wrong? He thought girls liked it when they were given compliments.

He looked over to where Rias was looking and saw the perverted boy he had tried to save last night staring at them. Leaning in ― and ignoring the loud noises coming from the people around him when he did this ― Naruto whispered, "Did you reincarnate him too?"

Giving one last look at Issei, Rias smiled and responded by whispering in Naruto's ear. "I did."

"Got'cha," Naruto nodded and leaned back, "I just wasn't sure. I don't really remember much of what happened after..." he trailed off for a second, his hand going towards where the large hole in his chest had been.

"I understand," Rias stopped after they entered the school building and turned to face him. She grabbed the hand Naruto had placed against his chest and moved it away so she could place her own hand there. Startled gasps emerged from those around them. Naruto ignored them as easily as he ignored the glares he used to get in his former home.

"You really are a kind person, aren't you?" she continued, causing Naruto to blush with a sheepish smile. You wouldn't think so from how he used to act when he was younger, but Naruto was never very good at accepting praise. "Worrying about someone you don't even know. Even someone you seem to enjoy playing pranks on."

"That was his own fault," Naruto defended himself, "he and his friends were just leaving themselves wide open like that. I couldn't not prank them, you know?"

Rias giggled, "It seems I've gained a little prankster in my peerage?"

"Peerage?" Naruto blinked.

"Another time," Rias said, "School is starting soon." She removed the hand from his chest and smiled as she backed away. "I will send someone for you after class, okay, Naruto-kun?"

"Yeah, that's fine, I guess," Naruto smiled as he waved Rias off. "I'll see you later, Rias."

Naruto yawned as he sat down in his seat. Class was about to start and he was already wanting to go to sleep. Man, Shikamaru was right when he said learning was troublesome.

Closing his eyes, Naruto placed his hands behind his head and leaned back in his chair to rest. He could easily afford few more moments of shut eye. It wasn't like the teacher could say anything. Despite what many people might assume, he actually had pretty good grades. Sure, it wasn't a 4.0 average, but 3.1 was pretty damn good too.

Back in Konoha, everyone had called him the Dead-last because he sucked at theory and reading assignments. That wasn't going to happen here. He wouldn't be thought of as an idiot in this world, even if it meant he had to... ugh... study.

Cue shudder.

"Ohayo, Naruto-san."

Cracking an eye open, Naruto found a handsome young man with short blonde hair and grey eyes standing in front of him. He was wearing the standard school uniform and his blazer was fully buttoned. He sort of reminded Naruto of Sasuke in the way that all the girl's seemed to think he was the hottest thing since the creation of fire jutsu.

"Kiba," Naruto gave the boy a bit of a lazy look. "What's up?" The only reason Naruto didn't have the same problems with him that he had with Sasuke in the beginning, aside from the small fact that he had outgrown those kinds of petty thoughts, was because Kiba was actually very friendly. He acted nothing like Sasuke did back when they were in the academy.

In other words, he wasn't a complete jerk with a fifty foot pole shoved up his ass.

"Not much," Kiba sat down in a desk next to Naruto's. "I heard that Buchou has talked to you?"

"Buchou?"

"Rias-sama," Kiba added when he saw Naruto's confused look. At the sound of the red-haired beauty's name, Naruto's face lit up in recognition. "I was told she talked to you this morning?"

"She did," the blond eyed his somewhat friend with the sort of casual awareness one has when they're hearing something interesting enough to pay attention to, but not enough that they were totally into what was being said. "I didn't know you knew her?"

"Buchou's the president of the Occult club, which I'm a part of," Kiba informed him with a friendly smile.

"Ah," Naruto nodded his head, "That would explain it." From the words Kiba spoke, Naruto easily deduced that the other blond was also a Devil, and this research club was likely some kind of front for Rias and other Devils to gather or something.

Naruto had to thank Kakashi-sensei and Ero-sennin for pounding some common sense into his head. He would have never been able to figure something like this out if they had not helped him."I was told that you were joining the club and that I should take you to the clubhouse after school so you can be informed of what we do."

"Sounds good," Naruto closed his eyes, "Now be a pal and wake me when class starts."

"Haha," Kiba sweatdropped a bit, "Sure thing."

"YOU!"

Naruto stopped and cast an annoyed glare as the pervert, Issei he remembered the kid was called, came running up to him with a crazed look in his eyes. It wasn't that the kid was talking to him that bothered him, so as much as it was the fact that he had things to do and places to be. Besides, Naruto already had a hunch about what the kid could want.The brown haired, slightly insane looking member of the Hentai San'nin-Gumi grabbed Naruto by the collar of his blazer. The unusual gleam in his eyes was not doing the pervert any favors right now.

"You remember Yuuma-chan, right? Right!?"
