Sirzechs and Grayfia stared at the griffon in the distance, their gaze lingering on Issei.
"That boy, the seal he used was no ordinary seal. It had no trace of Magic in it, I've never seen anything like it before," Sirzechs told Grayfia.
"Does it displease you, Maou-sama?" Grayfia asked.
"A seal that could take away a Phenex's regeneration powers should not be taken lightly. Who knows what it could do to other devils," he stated.
"Do you want us to investigate further?" Grayfia asked.
Sirzechs continued to stare at the griffon , slowly disappearing in the distance with Grayfia behind him. She understood her king's silence and had already begun making plans to carry out her king's order.
(Back with Issei and Rias)
Issei was busy sky-gazing on the griffon when Rias cupped his cheeks.
"You fool, you have so many bruises on your body." She played with the buttons on his shirt gently.
"Heh, it's nothing. I'd take on an entire battalion of Phenexs for you Buchou. You mean a lot to me," he said with his eyes closed and a gentle smile on his face.
"Issei?" She stared at him with a huge blush staining her cheeks
"You really mean a lot to me too." She kissed him on the lips as the griffon flapped its wings and the night breeze ruffled their hair as it made its way to Kuoh.
(Next morning In the Uzumaki Mansion)
"Why do I feel as if I'm missing something?" Naruto asked as he absentmindedly pet a chibi Matatabi on his lap.
Said cat stared at him with a raised eyebrow.
There goes his quirks again.
"I miss that Neko girl." Matatabi said out of the blue.
Naruto didn't even register Matatabi's words as he lifted her off his laps and auto-piloted to the kitchen with a thoughtful look on his face.
"What is it…? I can't seem to know what it is but I know it's missing. Oh well, I'm gonna remember it sooner or later.." He said as he switched on the electric stove and boiled water for the Instant ramen he was about to make.
Naruto's mind wandered again, this time to his one-time, one week student. The kid should be back by now. Winning was a piece of cake with the suppression seal he gave the boy. That Riser guy would find out how weak he was without his Regenerative abilities.
"Oi Naruto, I sense a whole lot of strong signatures around Kuoh lately. This could get ugly if you don't do something about it." Kurama, who was on the counter beside Matatabi, had been picking up different signatures in town lately.
"That is bat business, I will not get involved unless my person is threatened." He said as he fumbled around the cabinet looking for instant ramen..
"What about that Dragon Brat? You helped him didn't you? So why don't you do the same to the people of Kuoh?" As much as Kurama loved their anonymity, he wanted to see Naruto in action once again. Well, that or he just wanted to let some of his bloodlust loose.
"We don't know yet if these Crows are hostile or friendly and, besides, I'm not in their crosshairs so lemme just stay low hmm," he said as he dropped five instant ramen into the boiling water and added all the ingredients in. A poof later and a chopstick appeared in his hand. He gently mixed, poking at the noodles every now and then, his patience was running but he had to wait to get the perfect noodle texture.
Naruto stopped stirring his breakfast when his ears picked up the sound of the front door Bell. He got up and set loose a string of curse words.
Naruto got to the door and what he saw was displeasing. The Hyoudou kid was there along with that Gremory kid and her peerage.
His eyes darkened when Issei stood there with a strained smile.
"Hey S-sensei," Issei greeted sheepishly.
Naruto specifically told him not to tell anyone he helped him train to achieve his balance breaker, although it's imperfect, it did the job just fine. He managed to increase the time limit to 15 seconds under Naruto's tutelage. Now, he was in a life and death situation.
"Good morning, Naruto-sensei" The whole Club greeted minus Koneko who was fidgeting behind them. Rias herself was a bit nervous about this. She wanted to greet Naruto formally for training her pawn.
Akeno had a blush on her face when she laid her eyes on her shirtless teacher. Naruto was a fine specimen of a man up close. The mark on his face augmented his looks just fine.
Kiba actually had a bit of respect for Naruto. If this guy could mold Issei into what they saw in the battle against Riser, then he was one hell of a teacher.
Koneko was against them coming here because of the fear she had for the blonde teacher but Issei reassured them that Naruto wasn't necessarily evil once they got to know him.
Naruto leveled a heated glare at Issei. A "What the fuck did I tell you not to do?" kind of glare.
"Would you please let us in?" Rias asked, when there was no sign that Naruto would move away from the door.
"What do you want, little bats?" Naruto asked.
"We just wanted to thank you for helping Issei."
Naruto glared at Issei who was staring at a flower with keen interest. Naruto grunted in response to Rias' gratitude and was about to close the door before Rias screamed for him to wait.
"I would like to talk to you about something."
Naruto stared at her and shifted his attention towards Issei who had both hands in front of him begging Naruto to please let them in.
"I don't want a bat infestation in my house but as a teacher, I can let my students Inside my house," he said as he walked away from the door and let them in.
"Compliments on the house," Kiba said as he took a seat in one of the chairs followed by Rias, Akeno, Issei and Koneko.
Koneko's cat ears and tails, which she had been trying to suppress ever since they got to Issei's Neighborhood, came out in full force when she entered Naruto's house as she settled into the chair with a satisfied sigh.
