Author's Notes

(Please Read)

Warnings:God-like! Ageless! Intelligent! Mature-ish Naruto. Implanted Rinnegan. Several Sekirei and a few Hellsing Ultimate crossover characters. Large Harem. Relatively heavy canon storyline. Lots of clichés. Crack-ish at times.

This is unashamedly a God-like Naruto fiction that will likely make him come across as at least somewhat Gary Stu-ish. That being said, however, he will very rarely take a fight completely seriously and will instead mess with most opponents in a manner similar to early Tobi or Kakashi during the bell test. The 'badass' fights will only come later in the series. If you don't like that sort of thing, this is your warning.

Pairings:Rias, Akeno, and Grayfia will be the primary romantic focuses with one or two other potential DxD ladies later on as well. Naruto will also be coupled with several characters from Sekirei, but as he's been romantic with them for quite some time, they won't have a progressing romance – but rather a pre-existing one. Issei will be paired with Asia and possibly get a small harem of his own, but it will have little if any development on-screen.

It's also worth noting here and now that Naruto will not be 'stealing' anyone's wife/girlfriend/lover. Millicas will still exist, but Grayfia won't be his mother nor will she ever have been romantically involved with Sirzechs.

The Underworld's Masked Hero

Chapter 1: Suck it, Ero-Sennin

Despite the vast, vast quantity of differences that existed between four primary factions of Earth – Humans, Devils, Angels, and Fallen Angels – there are also a small number of similarities among them all.

The desire for love, at least in some sense, is a perfect example of such a similarity that is shared. A desire for power is another. Yet another is that they all have their own stories to tell regarding 'good' and 'evil.' As such, each faction also has its own heroes and villains that they subsequently honor or vilify.

Among Devils in particular, one of the biggest heroes that they honor is someone they refer to as 'The Underworld's Masked Hero.' During the Civil War that erupted in the Underworld, there was a time after its initial instigation when the rebels had found themselves nearly on the brink of defeat. They simply had fewer soldiers, fewer supplies, and lower morale than the army and leaders that they opposed. Many of the Devils they had thought would support them, out of self-preservation more than anything, had instead elected to remain neutral between the two inner-factions that fought for control.

Then, Sirzechs Gremory – the man who later became Sirzechs Lucifer and leader of the Underworld – brought in outside aide in the form of one man. It was this one man, alongside Sirzechs and the other three Devils who would later take up positions as the new Maou, who then quickly turned the tides of the Civil War and eventually overthrew the old Devil leadership.

Not much was known about the masked man, and what was known was hardly useful since it was obvious to any competent Devil alive at the time that he had been altering his appearance despite the fact that he had a mask on, but there were a few things about his appearence that became rather iconic as the stories about him were told time and time again.

The first iconic item was the mask he had always been seen wearing. It resembled an orange spiral which hid his entire face from view save for a hole for his right eye to see through. The second item was the eye that was visible within said hole – an eye with a light-purple Sclera, no noticeable iris, and black rings encircling a tiny pupil in the center. Upon said rings were a series of small black tomoe markings, though only the most detailed story-tellers would actually include that description in their tale. The third item was the blade he had worn upon his left hip – a short nodachi in a black sheath with a blade made to match. Finally, and perhaps the most iconic of all the items, was the tri-pronged kunai he had frequently been seen both fiddling and fighting with.

The man, despite his true appearance and name remaining unknown to the public, was quickly built up into a legend after the war that was told to the young Devils whom were fortunate enough to not experience the horrors that such an event can cause. His tale grew so popular that, eventually, a statue was created of his masked appearance alongside Sirzechs, Serafall, Ajuka, and Falbium - a statue that still stands in the Underworld to this very day to honor them all.

Little did one little red-headed Devil girl realize while growing up while being told stories of the man that, for her and two of the closest people in her life, the masked man would become far more than just a legend.

"Say…Issei-kun?" A voice that sounded far too sweet to be true asked in order to get the teen's attention. "Do you think you could do me a favor to commemorate our first date?"

Said teen was, of course, none other than Hyoudou Issei - otherwise commonly referred to as one of the 'Perverted Trio' of Kuoh Academy. Having just finished with what was, in his opinion, a spectacular first date; he was all too happy to smile and nod despite his slight nervousness at the unfamiliar situation.

'Is this it? Am I finally going to get my first kiss? What if it leads to more than that though? Maybe I'll finally get to see some oppai, hehehe.'

"Of course Yuuma-chan, what kind of favor is it?"

His date for the evening, a rather attractive schoolgirl that had introduced herself as Amano Yuuma, merely smiled as she tilted her head to the side and rewarded the boy with a small smile as she took a few slow strides towards him. As she did, despite her rather cute and innocent appearance before-hand, a dangerous glint shined in her eyes as she glanced into Issei's own.

"Could you please die for me?"

The heavy blush that had been evident on Issei's face a moment ago suddenly vanished as his eyes widened slightly in shock. However, after a moment, he chuckled nervously as he raised a pinky and quickly gave his ear a pseudo cleaning of sorts.

"…Ahaha, I'm sorry, I think I misheard you. Could you repeat that please?"

Without any sort of hesitantation, the girl quickly brought her lips next to the teen's ear – close enough to make him shiver slightly at feeling her warm breath hitting his vulnerable flesh.

"Could you die for me, please?" The woman repeated in a tone that varied drastically from the innocent one she had been using a few moments ago. Instead of a cute voice to go with the girl's appearance, it now held the tone of someone who had every intention of committing some despicable deed in the immediate future and sounded much more mature than it had been for their entire date.

Before Issei could have time to properly take in what he had just heard, the black-haired beauty quickly took a few steps back and giggled in a rather sinister manner as her clothes were suddenly shred. Despite the rather ominous atmosphere that the woman's transformation was temporarily giving the immediate area, his blush from before returned viciously as a bit of drool leaked out of the corner of his mouth at the sight of a naked woman in front of him.

'Oppai, actual oppai! I've finally seen real oppai! No, no! This isn't the time for that!'

Taking a step back, he quickly found himself landing ass-first on the stone pavement beneath him as the woman before him changed. She grew a bit taller and took in a bit more of a mature appearance in terms of her facial and body structure. A new set of black clothing also appeared as if it had been dripped across her body in ink – an outfit consisting of nothing other than leather-like straps around her breasts, a thong held around her hips by a series of thin straps, gloves that ran up her arms with small chains hanging from them, sizable shoulder-guards, and thigh-high boots.

However, her choice in attire and relatively moderate body transformations were not the largest change in her appearance. No, that honor would certainly belong to the pair of black-feathered wings that sprouted from her upper-back.

'W-W-Wings?' Issei thought in shock as his eyes widened to the size of saucers for more than one valid reason. 'What in the Hell?'

"Although it was short-lived, playing out the innocent lovey-dovey thing with you was actually kind of fun," the woman began in her new, mature-sounding voice. "I'll be sure to take care of this lovely gift you got for me," she continued as she raised her left hand and closely examined the pink scrunchie the teenage boy had bought for her not even an hour ago.

'What…what's going on?!" Issei continued thinking as he saw the woman extend her hand and a red light solidify in her palm to create what almost appeared to be a spear of sorts.

"Y-Yuuma-chan?"

"So, please die!"

SCHLINK

Issei clutched at his abdomen in a rather futile attempt to cease the large flow of blood that spewed forth after being stabbed by the spear.

"My apologies, but you were a threat to our existence. If you want to blame someone for this, then blame God for planting a Sacred Gear inside of a weak body like yours," the busty woman stated after dismissing her weapon and stepping back to seemingly admire her fresh kill.

"Or, y'know, he could blame it on the Fallen Angel that stabbed him in the gut," a voice stated in a mocking tone from atop the fountain behind the busty woman – something that caused her to jump back towards Issei and immediately summon another spear of light out of reflex.

Glancing upwards quickly, her eyes landed on the teen that had spoken to her so brazenly. He stood at around six feet tall and, judging by his face and body, looked as if he was in his later teens. Spiky locks of blond hair covered his scalp with two chin-length bangs hanging down and framing his face – giving him a somewhat 'wild' look when coupled with the three distinct whisker marks on either of his cheeks.

However, despite the fact that all those details could be considered eye-catching, what really drew anyone's attention on his face was the large scar that traveled from just below the center of his hairline to the right side of his jaw. It could also be assumed that it also traced over his right eye seeing as a black eyepatch concealed it from view and wrapped around his head with a moderately-sized strap.

Finally tearing her gaze away from his face, the Fallen Angel glanced downwards and quickly took in his apparel while looking for signs of any weapons he might have been holding or concealing. The blond was currently clad in a skin-tight black shirt that seemed to function as a second skin as evidenced by how it outlined his incredibly toned abdominal and pectoral muscles. However, any muscle in his arms was hidden from view by the unzipped black hoody with an orange in-seam that he wore over the shirt.

Traveling downwards from there, the teen wore a pair of loose-fitting black pants that was held up at his waist with a simple orange belt as well as a pair of black sneakers that had orange laces. It appeared rather obvious that the guy liked black and orange. The final thing worth note was the fact that he wore a simple gold ring upon his left ring finger - the only reason that it was even noticed being due to the slight gleam of sunlight that was reflected off of it.

While the busty woman was busy taking in his appearance, she failed to notice the bright red magic circle that was now slowly forming in the middle of the air beside her.

"Well hello there~," the Fallen Angel cooed in a seductive tone. "Will you please come down here and die for me too?"

"You know, trying to seduce me to come to you without the deadly light spear in your hand would probably be far more effective," the blond commented as a comically animated beat of sweat dropped from his brow. "Regardless of that though," he began as he hopped down from the top of the fountain to the ground in front of the Fallen Angel, "I can't exactly let you walk away unscathed for trying to kill the kid there."

"Oh, is that so~?" Raynare drew out with a giggle that seemed as if it promised pain. "And what, pray tell, are you going to do about it?"

"Ah, well, I didn't want to have to do this…but I guess you leave me no choice…" the blond stated as he reached his hand to the side and a small quantity of energy radiated from his hand. After a momentary pause, a small plume of smoke appeared before he was seen brandishing his weapon of choice.

"Ha…Haha…HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Raynare, the woman's real name, laughed hard enough for small tears to form in the corner of her eyes at the sight. "Y-Yo…You're going to fight me with that?" She asked while obviously struggling to keep her laughter under control as she stared at the metal ladle he was now holding.

"I see you underestimate the power of this weapon as I once was foolish enough to do," the blond commented as a rather sadistic-looking smile crept across his lips. "Well then, allow me to remedy that problem for you just as my dear wife did for me."

With nothing further, his body slowly began to sink into the ground without any sign that it was doing so. Raynare, seeing it as an opportunity, quickly chucked the spear of light at him only to have it pass through his body and strike the fountain behind him as if he wasn't even there to begin with.

"Missed me~" The blond drew out mockingly as his entire body slipped underground. As he did so, Raynare summoned another light spear into her palm as he head darted around to look for any sight of him. Her guard only slipped after about a thirty seconds had passed and her senses finally picked up on the fact that a magic circle was hovering in the air and was now glowing as someone began to come through it.

'Shit,' she thought as her eyes widened marginally. 'Dealing with Devils right now is a bad idea, I need to get out of here.'

The busty woman was stopped from her inner-musings, however, as the ground in front of her erupted and the blond jumped up in front of her. With widening eyes, her reaction time wasn't good enough to do anything but let her watch as the teen reached the apex of his ascent before swinging the ladle he held down in an arc.

"Ninpo: Mogura Tataki no Jutsu!" (Ninja Art: Whac-A-Mole Jutsu) Naruto exclaimed as he smashed the bottom curve of his ladle into the top of the Fallen Angel's cranium. As he did so, Raynare's eyes rolled upward momentarily as she struggled to not fall to her knees at the force of the blow.

"Point for me!" Naruto shouted excitedly before his body seemed to finally succumb to gravity's demands and he fell…right back into the ground without a trace.

"Fucking Hell," Raynare swore as her free hand – the other still occupied by a light spear – rose up to her skull and gently applied pressure to the area that had been struck. "What in the fuck was that? No human can hit that hard!"

It was at this point that a beautiful teenage girl with crimson hair that fell to her calves came through the magic portal entirely, though the Fallen Angel remained blissfully unaware of this fact as she tried to deal with the pain from the blow she had received. The red-head's brow rose in confusion at the presence of the busty woman still present and glancing around as if she was fighting someone, so she elected to hover mid-air and assess the situation before making a move.

Suddenly, Raynare spun around as the ground behind her sounded as if it was being disturbed. Without any hesitation, she stabbed her light spear into the ground with a maniacal grin on her face upon thinking she had gotten him. Said grin vanished, however, as the blond then jumped up from the ground to her left.

"Missed me~!" He shouted still in his overly-excited voice before slamming his ladle down on her cranium on the exact same spot he had already done so previously. "Point!"

"Fuck you!" The busy woman exclaimed as she tried to stab the spot he had disappeared into the ground again after recovering from the blow again.

"I might let you later if you're a good girl, Datenshi-chan," the blond's voice stated clearly from underground – causing said woman to shout wordlessly in rage and frustration.

The red-headed girl, meanwhile, remained in the air and watched for the next minute as the blond continuously popped up and smashed the Fallen Angel in the cranium with a ladle. More surprising than the fact that he was taking on a Fallen Angel as if it were a joke was the fact that she was well aware of who the blond was.

He was none other than Naruto Uzumaki, one of Kuoh Academy's best and most popular students even if he didn't seem to linger around most other people when he was given the option. He was also referred by many female students as 'The Knight of Kuoh' due to the scar on his face and his wild-yet-attractive appearance. He had also earned the title, at least in-part, due to how polite he was to others, especially women, despite the fact that he seemed to avoid them most of the time.

Yet, despite her own search among academy students for skilled individuals to join her peerage, his name had never really stood out apart from the rest aside from his top-notch grades and athletic ability. She couldn't exactly fault herself for not seeing anything as, even at this moment, he seemed to exude absolutely no magical energy whatsoever.

'What in the world are you, Uzumaki-san?' she thought to herself as she continued spectating what was happening to the Fallen Angel while only letting her eyes momentarily flicker over to the dying form of Issei. '…And just how strong are you?'

"ENOUGH!" Raynare shouted in rage as she now had a several smaller bumps stacked on top of one another growing out from her cranium. "Come out and fight me like a fucking man already!"

"Hmmm….naaaaah~" The blond's taunting voice responded to her from underground. "But, I think you are right about that being enough for now. I think I've taught you a rather splendid lesson in humility."

"Tch, coward!" The Fallen Angel declared as her wings sprouted from her shoulders after waiting for a few more moments for him to respond to her verbal jab. "I swear that I'll kill you the next time I see you."

As she turned to flap her wings and leave the area, however, she was stopped by a heavy, unseen weight that suddenly seemed to settle on her shoulders. Nervously turning her head slowly to the side as much as she was able to, she was just able to see Naruto squatting down on the ground behind her. He was also making some odd symbol with his hands that made both of his index and middle fingers pressed together and pointed forward.

"Tsk tsk, Datenshi-chan," the blond began in a chastising tone of voice despite the rather sadistic glee that seemed to sparkle in his eyes. "It looks like I'll have to teach you a lesson for needlessly threatening your friends like that. Konohagakure Hiden Secret Taijutsu Ogi: Sennin Goroshi!" (Konoha Hidden Taijutsu Technique: One Thousand Years of Death) Naruto exclaimed as his fingers began to steam before promptly jettisoning them into Raynare's rear end.

The briefest moment of silence reigned over the clearing for a few moments until….

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah~!" The busy woman's pained cry rang as she was propelled far enough away that her form turned into little more than a black speck in the distance.

"Ah, I will never get tired of being of the fact that I get to do that to other people now," Naruto said somewhat wistfully before shaking his head and turning his head to the right to face the red-headed Devil still hovering in the air. "Hello Rias," he greeted with a smile towards her.

The crimson-haired girl, now having been dubbed Rias, suppressed the small quantity of genuine elation and gratitude she felt at such a simple greeting. Even though she had only encountered him a handful of times, most of which were thanks to her hunting down Akeno who was in his company when she was given free time, he was the only student in the academy to simply greet her by her given name – not Gremory-sama, Buchou, Onee-sama, or any of her other titles at the school; he simply called her Rias. It may be considered by most to be a rather silly thing to get such enjoyment out of, but it made it no less true that she certainly did.

"Uzumaki-san," she greeted in a friendly tone as elegantly floated to the ground directly in front of him.

"Must we do this every time we talk?" Naruto asked as he playfully rolled his eyes at the red head. "Just Naruto is fine, y'know?"

At this, Rias smiled softly and gave a small nod of her head in acceptance.

"Akeno never told me that you were aware of the supernatural," Rias began as she tried to organize the hundreds of questions that were currently coming to the forefront of her mind.

"That would probably be because she never knew."

"Really? I-I just figured because she spent so much time with you that…" Rias trailed off as the anger that had been slowly growing towards her Queen for seemingly hiding things from her disappeared immediately. Akeno was, after all, one of the very few students in the academy that Naruto didn't actively try to avoid and by far and away the one he spent the most time with. There were even wide-spread rumors within the school of the two of them dating. As such, Rias had assumed that the woman must have known about his abilities to some degree.

"Well, I am told that most people enjoy my company," the blond answered with a smile before it quickly morphed into a bit of a pout. "Wait, are you suggesting that she would only enjoy my presence if she knew I was knowledgeable about the supernatural? That kind of hurts, y'know?"

"Ah…I'm sorry," Rias apologized with a large drop of sweat falling down the side of her head as Naruto seemed to slump and large, animated trails of tears seemed to pour from the blond's exposed eye. "I…I didn't mean to be rude, it's just that Akeno usually doesn't interact much with normal people, so I just assumed she knew."

"So now I'm a freak?" Naruto asked as he fell to his hands and knees. "Your words…" he began as a large stone with the words 'not normal' engraved into it fell from out of nowhere and landed on his back "…they're so heavy."

"I meant…different," Rias corrected as another large drop of sweat joined the first at the blond's over-the-top reaction. "The good kind of different, that is," she tacked on.

"Oh, good!" The blond stated chipper as the stone immediately vanished and he picked himself back up. "I wouldn't want one of the most beautiful girl's in the academy to think I was a freak."

The red-headed Devil's cheeks were immediately dusted a light shade of pink at the flirtatious comment despite the fact that they had only spoken a handful of times. Even she, though somewhat reluctant to admit it, would admit to thinking that he was quite attractive. However, at least for the time being, she kept her focus upon more important matters.

"So Naruto," she began as she instinctively reached out and tucked a stray strand of her red hair behind her ear, "what exactly are you anyway? As far as I can sense, you feel like any other human. After what I just saw though, that doesn't exactly seem possible."

'Damned beautiful red hair,' Naruto grumbled internally as his eyes were glued momentarily to the strand of it she tucked behind her ear. 'One of my only remaining weaknesses, and she's exploiting it without even really realizing it.'

"Ara…" he began after a pause to shake his thoughts away from the girl's hair, "maybe I'm just a really amazing human?"

"…You aren't going to tell me, are you?" The girl huffed in response, clearly not believing his offered suggestion.

Naruto responded by giving a rather cheeky-looking smile.

"…I could tell you, but that doesn't seem like it would be all that much fun," he began after Rias gave him a rather frustrated stare in response to his smile. "Akeno-chan tells me you're a fan of puzzles, so you can just think of this one as another one for you to figure out. For now though, you may want to hurry up while you can save your Sacred Gear user over there."

At this, Rias' eyes widened noticeably before she quickly turned and jogged over to the bloodied form of Issei while reaching into the pocket of her uniform. Having already checked what pieces reacted near him, she withdrew a single mutated Pawn piece and set it on his chest. She then took only a moment to glance back to where Naruto had been standing only to see that he had seemingly vanished. Blinking a few times in surprise, she rose and began the ritual to resurrect the perverted teen in front of her with her mutated chess piece.

'Naruto Uzumaki…' she thought while she thoughtlessly chanted the right words to resurrect her newest servant, '…you're certainly an interesting one. Now that I know you're capable of fighting, even if I don't know what you are, I'm going to have to snag you before Sona gets a chance to sink her claws into you.'

(The Next Morning, Near Kuoh Academy)

Naruto currently found himself walking down the street that led into the Kuoh Academy entrance. His black pants and sneakers from yesterday remained the same, but upper-body apparel had changed slightly.

Gone was the black hooded sweatshirt that he wore and in its place was an unbuttoned black blazer, an unbuttoned white shirt with thin black lines running down it, and an untied black ribbon wrapped around the collars of each. Beneath that, keeping his chest from being bared, was a shirt identical to the one he had worn the other day – meaning that his toned core and chest were outlined as if the shirt wasn't there.

It was fortunate, at least in Naruto's opinion, that the regulations regarding the Kuoh Academy uniform only required that the students wear the each of the individual pieces and that no piece of the uniform was intentionally deformed in any fashion. As he was technically wearing the entire uniform and he hadn't altered any piece of it, they were unable to force him to wear it 'as it should be worn,' according to the various instructors who chastised him over it.

As he walked into the final distance to the academy entrance, the blond paused only for half a step as his sole exposed eye caught sight of a girl waiting patiently just on the outside of it. Thanks to her long black hair tied up into a ponytail, her long, shapely legs that were exposed thanks to the mini-skirt of the school uniform, and her sinfully large bosom, he recognized who it was almost immediately.

"Akeno-chan!" He greeted warmly after he had gotten a bit closer.

The woman turned her gaze towards him, exposing the orange ribbon holding up her hair that he had gifted her for her birthday earlier in the year, and gave him a warm smile and a wave.

"Hello Naruto-kun," she greeted in a soft voice after he had gotten a bit closer before the two fell into silence.

"…I'm guessing it's safe to assume Rias told you about what she saw?" The blond asked after a few moments, noting that she seemed a bit more subdued than usual.

"It is," she answered somewhat curtly though with a smile still on her face. "I must say that I was rather…surprised."

"Not upset?" Naruto questioned as he cocked his head slightly to the side.

"…Only a little," she admitted sincerely as her smile grew a bit wider and more genuine. "After all, even though we've been talking for a few months, I wasn't exactly entirely honest with you about myself either."

"I'm glad then, I certainly wouldn't want you to be upset with me A-ke-no-sa-ma," he drew out teasingly.

At this, the woman's cheeks flushed a noticeable shade of red, causing Naruto to smirk knowingly. Having teasingly called her that after being chastised by her about how he wore his uniform one day, it was quite obvious that she got a bit of a thrill at hearing the suffix added on to her name. That, coupled with the fact that he had noticed her cheeks flush a bit after she smacked him rather hard on the head for doing something stupid or childish, had lead him to the rather obvious conclusion that she was a sadist to at least a moderate degree.

However, unlike most likely would have been, he wasn't bothered by that fact in the least. Hell, he was convinced that Sakura, his very first crush, had been at least a mild one herself with how often she seemed to go out of her way to hit people – himself in particular.

"Ara ara," Akeno nearly cooed as she moved close enough to Naruto's side that their arms were touching before nudging him slightly. "It's not very kind of you to tease a lady so early in the morning, Naruto-kun."

"I'm fairly certain most ladies would consider it perfectly acceptable so long as the one teasing them finished what they started," he stated as he turned his gaze towards her and winked - at least as best as he could seeing as his other eye was still covered with an eye-patch.

"…Ufufu, speaking from first-hand experience?" The Devil asked as her cheeks brightened a little more.

"I might be," he shot back with a cheeky smile before he raised his left hand and brought it forward enough that they could both easily see it as he wiggled his ring finger. "I am wearing a ring, after all."

"Ara Ara," she began as her cheeks flushed yet even brighter, "yet you continue flirting with me. If I didn't know better, I would think you're hinting that you want to have an affair with me."

"Oh~?" He drew out with a raised eyebrow as he gave a sly grin towards the flushed woman in front of him. "Pray tell, what is it that makes you think I may not be hinting that exact thing, A-ke-no-sa-ma?"

In response, the Devil woman flushed a bit more intensely as her breath began to noticeably get a bit heavier. As he had a rather strong sense of smell, Naruto was also able to catch the mild scent of arousal that was now coming from her nether regions. She also opened her mouth to seemingly speak once or twice, but quickly shut it as words seemed to fail to come to her.

'Hehe, no one wins a teasing match against Naruto Uzumaki,' he thought at seeing the woman's failure to counter his words. However, he did raise his brow in surprise as he felt his right hand grabbed and interlaced with Akeno's own. Though they had made small talk frequently and teased one another with increasing quantities of sexual innuendo when no one was within hearing range over the past few months, something like holding hands was certainly new and a bit uncharacteristic of the woman he had come to know.

"Akeno?"

"Hm?" She hummed as she turned her face towards his own and met him with an innocent stare, despite the fact that her face was still moderately flushed, as she quirked one of her eyebrows. Even as she did this, she walked forward into the academy grounds while pulling him along for a few steps until he willingly caught up.

'…Well, this certainly isn't one of the possible reactions I was expecting,' Naruto thought as chuckled silently before he glanced towards the sides of the path they were walking on. Many students were still standing in groups talking amongst one another as they still had a while until the warning bell rang. This meant that many of them immediately caught sight of 'Kuoh's Knight' and one of the two 'Great Ladies' of the academy walking hand-in-hand as they entered the school grounds. As there had already been multiple rumors about the two of them dating, actually arriving at the grounds together hand-in-hand, with Akeno blushing no less, pretty much guaranteed that the rumor would be 'confirmed' by the end of first period.

"Oh my God…" several students muttered as their jaws and whatever they were holding at the time dropped to the ground.

"Damn you Naruto!" Several men, and a fair share of women called out as they fell to their knees as a black aura of despair descended upon them at the sight of their beloved Akeno holding hands with him and blushing of all things – something none of them could honestly say to have seen before.

"Noooo~! Naruto-sama's been taken!" The majority of women in the area and at least one man shouted as they too fell to their knees thanks to the aura of despair that overtook them.

"Hey, let go of my hand for just a sec," Naruto whispered into Akeno's ear. She turned to gaze at him questioningly for a moment, but released the rather fierce grip she had on his hand nonetheless. Moments later, the smile she had on her face grew larger yet again as she felt his arm slip around her upper-back and over her right shoulder. Seemingly getting the idea, she immediately leaned her head slightly to the left to rest against him as they continued to walk forward at a slightly slower pace.

The gesture increased the level of despair in the immediate area exponentially. Several students actually had a dark aura of depression surrounding them and anyone in the immediate area around them.

"So…" Naruto began after a few moments as they continued walking slowly along the path, "…unless I've completely misjudged her, I'm guessing that Rias wanted you to tell me something this morning?"

"Hai, she did," the busty beauty confirmed with a nod of her head after a momentary pause. "Buchou wants to speak with you in the old school building after you've finished class today."

"Hm, is that so?" The blond questioned as he brought up his free hand and stroked his chin in thought. "You gonna be there?" He continued as he turned his gaze towards the woman pressing into his right side as they continued walking.

"Most likely, but you never know for sure," Akeno responded as she turned her head slightly towards him to meet his gaze with an innocent smile. "Why? Do you want to find me there so you can release your beastly urges on my body?"

Naruto immediately froze for half a step before coughing and continuing to move forward. However, even if it was relatively slight, the freeze did not go on noticed.

"Ufufu, you are such a sinful man," the busty beauty continued as a small blush rose on her cheeks again at the sex-filled thoughts rolling quickly through her virgin mind. She was also elated at seeming to finally have an impact on him after months of trying to get under his skin in various ways.

'Alright, it's official,' the blond thought in his head as she spoke. 'This girl is so much like Miya that it's fucking ridiculous. 'Beastly urges,' seriously?! What in the Hell are the odds of two people actually saying that?'

"Maybe I do, but I suppose you'll just have to be there if you really want to find out," Naruto whispered in a slightly husky tone after only a moment of actual silence between the two of them. His grin widened when her breath seemed to hitch a bit, but the warning bell to signal that class began in a few minutes stopped him from saying anything further.

"Ah, it seems you're saved by the bell…for now at least," Naruto stated as he slowly pulled Akeno away from his side to face him directly. She was about six inches shorter than he was, so the top of her head only came up to his lower lip. However, that height difference became a non-issue as he tilted her chin up and began to lean down.

As he got closer, Naruto's visible eye locked onto one of Akeno's own and was able to watch the quick series of emotions that seemed to flash through them. The first, naturally, was genuine surprise – certainly understandable since they hadn't as much as held hands before today. The second was a small amount of fear, which confused him a bit and nearly caused him to falter and stop. However, quickly after that, her eyes seemed to shine with acceptance and happiness before she closed them in preparation for the romantic gesture. The fact that her face also got a few inches closer to his despite stopping for a moment also told him that she had likely risen up on her toes.

'Well I was just going to tease her and kiss her on the cheek at the last second,' the blond thought quickly as he held himself from moving any further for the briefest of moments. 'Eh, screw it.'

Moving the last few inches, Naruto smoothly tilted his head slightly to the side and planted his lips on Akeno's own. As he made contact, he had to resist the urge to smile at the fact that the black-haired beauty seemed to shudder slightly as she released a somewhat shaky breath through her nose.

His exposed eye widened only slightly when a pair of slender arms seemed to snake their way around his neck and kept him in place rather firmly. In response, he smiled a bit with his lips still planted firmly against the Devil's own and placed his hands on her hips.

After the lip-lock continued for several more seconds, Naruto slowly pulled his head away. Akeno, meanwhile, seemed to remain frozen for a few moments with her eyes closed and a blush on her face. After a few more moments passed, however, her eyes slowly fluttered open as she lowered herself back onto the arches of her feet rather than just her toes.

Grinning at the rather cute expression Akeno was still wearing, he slowly pulled his hands away from her hips and slid out of the arms that had still been wrapped around his neck.

"I'll see you after class," the blond stated happily with a wide grin on his lips before turning and walking away. He glanced back only after he had taken a few steps and chuckled softly at seeing the Devil stare after him as she was touching her lips with one of her hands.

'Well, unless I'm a terrible judge about these sorts of things even after all this time, I do believe that I just got a rather beautiful Devil's first kiss,' he thought as he turned back around and continued walking to his classroom. '…Suck it, Ero-Sennin.'

End Chapter 1

No, Naruto is not actually planning on actually having an actual affair. Keep calm and your questions about it will eventually be answered.

I imagine many of you are of the opinion that Akeno seems incredibly OOC right now. However, keep in mind that there are a few months of undetailed interaction between the two of them for her to have lowered her guard to him at least a bit as she eventually does to Issei.

I'd also like to note that this is not something that I am planning update frequently right now. I've had this chapter and story idea in my head for quite some time and merely wanted to get it out there.
