Chapter 48 - Chapter 49

"Of course not...By the way, who told you where my house is anyway?" He smiled and tried to change the topic to less troublesome matters.

"Onii-sama told me where your house is." She looked around the house with a smile, "I have to say Naruto-kun, you sure found a fine house in just three days!"

Naruto eyebrow twitched and his smile sweetened to sickening levels, the reason he decided to live in the human world was because he wanted to get away from all the attention in the underworld but now with Rias living together with him in the human world, Naruto could safely say that his plan was ruined because of the attention he was going to get in the human world. Looks like he didn't prank Sirzechs hard enough, he knew that Sirzechs probably didn't have a choice in the matter, with the likely outcome of him getting blown to kingdom come if he didn't. Regardless, Naruto was still going to prank him and prank him hard. Looks like there were going more 'stealth' lessons for Ni and Li in the future.

He was snapped out of his thoughts by a curious Rias who was waving her hand in front of his face.

"You were spacing out, what were you thinking about?"

"I was thinking about what horri...Wonderful things I could do to your brother. Anyways come on in." He said as he picked up her suitcase and motioned for Rias to follow him, "I bought this house from the saved up money from all the missions I did two years ago with the money Sirzechs-nii gave me after me and Ajuka returned home." It wasn't a lie, he did buy the house with the money he saved up from the missions he did two years ago.

Naruto lead Rias to his room and began to help her put everything in place, Naruto sweatdropped when he saw a lot of anime DVDs and manga in her special suitcase, it was a suitcase with unlimited storage space, so she could put anything she wanted in it and still carry it around easily. Naruto, being the nice guy he is, helped Rias sort her belongings. After they were done with the manga and anime DVDs, he helped with her clothes, putting them into the wardrobe. He sometimes picked up her bra and panties but put it away in the wardrobe before Rias saw him and got any weird ideas.

Naruto did have to say though, while she had a lot of mundane underwear, she also owned a lot of 'exotic' ones that could make a pervert die from excessive blood loss. Why she had these so called underwear when they barely covered anything, he had no idea. Hell, even his own underwear covered more than these things.

After finishing with everything, Rias put her last picture on the table next to his bed, it was a picture that she and Naruto wanted to take together when they were fourteen but Akeno and Koneko had jumped into the scene at the last moment before her father took the picture. In the picture was a young Rias with her arms around Naruto's neck sending a annoyed glare at Akeno who had her arms around Naruto's left arm sporting an 'innocent' smile on her face, at the corner of the camera was the upper half of Koneko's face. Naruto stood in the middle of the picture and smiled brightly at the camera. This picture brought back a lot of memories for Rias but now everyone had grown up and she knew the battle for Naruto's heart was now more intense than ever.

Luckily for her, Akeno and Koneko still couldn't come to Naruto's house because of some matters. So she still has an advantage over them to make the first move on Naruto.

"There, all done!" Rias turned to Naruto, "Thank you for helping me Naruto-kun."

"It was nothing Rias-chan!" He smiled but then his stomach chose that moment to growl.

"So, I guess you haven't had breakfast yet did you, Naruto-kun?" She asked with a giggle when Naruto scratched his head in response, "Well, let's go to the kitchen and let see what you have."

Naruto followed Rias to the kitchen and was pushed down on a chair when the crimson haired girl refused his help and decided that she would cook breakfast for him by herself. Judging by the aroma coming from the kitchen, he was sure that breakfast today would be one to remember. If living with Rias meant that he could eat delicious food without having to cook it himself, then he would gladly let her stay at his house for as long as she wanted to.

After twenty minutes of agonizing waiting, she had finally finished her dish that she was practicing during the week with her mother and the chefs at Gremory Castle, Ramen. Her brother secretly told her before his unfortunate 'accident' that Naruto thought this food was a gift from God to the world, even though he was a devil. She saw the fact that Naruto really liked Ramen herself when he actually considered the ticket of free Ramen over her, so Rias had practiced how to make the best Ramen she could in one week and hoped he would like it. Naruto didn't have much in his kitchen but she managed to find everything needed to make an extra big bowl of Ramen for him, and a small one to her.

She gently put the bowl gently on the table in front of Naruto and sat down with her own.

"Itadakimasu!" Naruto took the chopsticks and began to taste the ramen, Rias was sitting with a nervous expression on her face, she hoped she didn't mess up anything, this was after all, the first dish she had ever made for Naruto. It was the least she could do after the many things he had done for her. She waited patiently as Naruto gulped down the food and turned to her "Wow Rias-chan, it's really delicious...Wow, I think it can be even compared to my own ramen!" He smiled and began to eat his ramen with a happy smile on his face. Rias let out a heavy sigh she didn't know she was holding but did a double take when she thought about his words.

"Wait a minute, what do you mean by 'can be compared to my own ramen'?!"

"Naruto stopped eating and looked at her, "What, ramen IS my favourite after all, of course I know how to make it. Want me to give you some tips later?"

Rias mumbled downheartedly, "Okay..." She wanted to make the best ramen for him but if his own was tastier then it was meaningless. Naruto looked at her and knew what she was thinking.

"Patience Rias-chan, I've been making ramen for as long I can make food, it will take time for you to surpass me in ramen making, if I allowed it that is." He added smugly.

She pouted and mumbled softly, "That doesn't make me happy you know..."

She didn't look up when she heard him standing up but gasped when she felt a pair of strong arms hugging her gently, the kind of hug a person would give to comfort someone, before the arms pulled back.

"Does that make you happy?" He gently asked.

She couldn't help but blush when she looked into his cerulean orbs. She could see it, just like the time when they were kids. His eyes haven't changed a bit even after all these years.

They still held emotions like...

Care...

Adoration...

Kindness...

Naruto went back to his seat and resumed eating while Rias, with a happy smile, began to eat her ramen too, the food tasting more delicious than all her previous attempts.

After three more big bowls of ramen, Rias found out that they have ran out of food ingredients so Naruto suggested that they go out to buy groceries as he needed to buy school supplies for school tomorrow anyway.

While Naruto never went to highschool before, he was intelligent and creative, plus with the education he got from Rias's mother, he more or less knew what to expect at school. Still it never hurt to be careful just in case.

Upon arriving at the bookstore along with Rias, Naruto could see that the two of them were being stared by many people, especially the teens. The adults thought they looked really cute with each other and some became jealous of Naruto for having such a beautiful girlfriend, while the teens looked at them with hearts in their eyes, whispering to each other with some and even coming over to ask questions. The girls looked at him and Rias with adoration, the boys on the other hand mostly looked at Rias with lust filled eyes and at Naruto jealously. He couldn't really say he blamed them at all.

Rias smiled when she saw the stares from everyone in the bookstore and hugged Naruto's strong arm to her chest, drawing a lot of jealous screams from the boys, while the girls squealed in delight at the romantic scene. Rias saw a lot of familiar faces at the bookstore and recognized a few of them who were Kuoh students. Tomorrow would be both a chaotic and wonderful day at Kuoh for Rias, tomorrow was the day Naruto would keep his promise to her.
