Chapter : 21
"Ara, ara."
Being Akeno, however, she recovered from her surprise very quickly.
"Is someone feeling a bit jealous of Koneko-chan?" asked Akeno, causing Rias to finally turn her head from the scene to face her Queen, the frown growing even more prominent.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Of course you don't," was Akeno's sly reply, "ufufufu."
Rias ignored her best friend's demure giggling and cleared her throat quite loudly. Everyone looked over at her... well, almost everyone. Koneko was still in paradise as Naruto's hands were now in the process of carefully rubbing along her ears, which had the girl emitting an audible purr that rumbled from deep within her chest.
Rias' eye twitched.
"Well," she stated, doing her best to ignore Koneko. She wasn't angry, or jealous. No sir. She just didn't like being ignored. "Now that you're here, Issei, I would like to welcome you to the Occult Research Club."
"Ah, no," Issei rubbed the back of his head as he tried to think of what to say in this situation. It wouldn't be so hard if all the girls around him weren't so beautiful. He was having trouble just figuring out which pair of breasts to look at! Rias' oppai were so perky, yet Akeno-senpai seemed to have the biggest bust, and there was something to be said for Koneko's cute little boobs too. They were so cute! "Um, thank you for having me. I'll be in your care."
Rias smiled, or tried to smile. She didn't quite succeed, so she eventually gave up.
Deciding to give it up as a lost cause, she continued speaking. "As you know, I am Rias Gremory, the one behind me is Himejima Akeno. The person leaning against the wall is Yuuto Kiba, and the two people..." her eyebrow twitched again, "Sitting on the couch are Toujo Koneko and Uzumaki Naruto. We, that is to say, all five of us, are Devils."
…
…
As the silence stretched on, with only the sound of Koneko's purring to accompany the chirping of crickets, Issei could only sit there, blinking stupidly as he tried to come to grips with what he had just been told.
"Eh?" he scratched the back of his head, "Could you... repeat that? I could have sworn you just said you guys were Devils..."
"We are," Rias confirmed. To further emphasis her point, she, Akeno, Kiba and Naruto all sprouted black devil wings from their backs. Koneko would have done so as well, but, well, she was still in happy-happy land.
Issei could only stare at the wings coming from behind everyone else in shock.
"Wait!" He pointed at them, yelling his head off in surprise. "So you guys really are Devils!"
"I don't see why you're so surprised," said Naruto, smiling down at the girl on his lap. She really was just too adorable for her own good. "You're a Devil too, after all."
"Huh?" That comment through Issei for a loop. Him? A Devil? What nonsense was this? Wouldn't he know if he was a devil or not? Shouldn't there be some kind of sign or something? Aside from an irritating rash on his skin that he got a while ago, he did not feel any different. And he didn't have any desire to go out and sacrifice puppies or something.
"Just look at your back," Rias suggested. "You have wings just like the rest of us."
"I do?" Issei's question was answered by the sound of cloth tearing. Looking behind him, the boy found himself in shock to see that he really did have wings sprouting from his back. Black devil wings that reminded him of a bats, much like the ones everyone else was sporting.
This just seemed to depress him.
"I really am a Devil!" The boy nearly wailed as he crumbled to his knees. As he pressed his hands against the floor to keep himself from falling, all those present watched as a small, gray raincloud appeared over the second year student's head and began sprinkling him in a light drizzle.
Cue massive sweatdrop.
"Anyways," Rias cleared her throat and tried to ignore the boy who was getting her floor wet with that strange raincloud. Just where had it come from anyways? Some kind of strange Devil power that she did not know of? "I reincarnated you as a Devil and my servant after you were killed by a Fallen Angel a few days ago and... um..." the girl trailed off uncertainly as the boy continued looking like a despondent young man who had just been dumped by his ex-girlfriend. Or stabbed through the chest with a light spear by his ex-girlfriend. "Are... are you even listening to me?"
No. No he wasn't. Issei was currently in the middle of a midlife (or is that young life?) crises. He had just been told he was a devil and he had wings on his back and this was on top of everything else that had happened this week. Not only that, but he still had yet to see a pair of real life boobs!
It was official, he really was going insane.
Naruto sighed as he watched the depressed kid get soaked to the bone by that strange cloud of rain. Deciding that he should do something about this ― because seeing the normally care free if incredibly perverted second year have a look of someone who had just had his puppy killed was pathetic ― he carefully set Koneko down and stood up.
He didn't get to move very far as the white haired girl in question grabbed his sleeve. The blond looked down at the girl, who was giving him large, puppy dog (or would that be kitten?) eyes that nearly had him bending down and scooping her back into his arms.
Was this how most women felt when dealing with cute things? God he hoped not. Naruto didn't want to become a woman. He was perfectly happy being a man, thank you very much.
"Don't worry," he told Koneko as he patted her head. "I'll be right back."
"Uuuu, okay," Koneko mumbled. She looked up at him with her big, amber colored eyes. "But come back soon."
Guh. That look should be illegal. Naruto was almost overwhelmed by the cute.
