Naruto took leisurely steady steps trekking the streets of Kuoh going to work completely ignoring the fact that he was being followed by someone discreetly. Car. The stalker was pretty good, keeping his presence well hidden from a seasoned ninja, blending into the shadows like a ninja.
Recently, Naruto noticed someone was watching his every move. From grocery stores to the park, to work, to the arcade, and even when he was just rambling around. The only place he felt safe away from the stalker was when he was inside the confines of his house. He thought eventually, the stalker would tire out and stop following him but it was getting increasingly troublesome to ignore.
Taking a turn towards an alley, the presence following him followed suit. The silhouette of a man's head popped from the shadows casted by the tall buildings inspecting Naruto's back. He raced towards the end of the alley wondering where his target wandered off to.
"Are you stalking me?" Naruto asked with his Naruto-ish voice.
The stalker's soul almost jumped out of his body when he heard a sudden voice behind him. Souji Okita berated himself when a voice of all things spooked him. He turned around and beheld the alleged source of his ire ad humiliation. The human, Naruto Uzumaki.
"Do I know you? Why have you been following me around since morning?..." Souji stoned his features as Naruto accused him without proof ignoring the blonde's rant. "...Sorry, I don't swing that way." Naruto finished.
Hinata, though a good friend, was a source of training in more than one way. Naruto handed it to her, she was damn good at stalking so he had something like an in-built radar for stalkers like his pervert radar.
"What?" Souji wondered before he grasped the meaning, finding Naruto's Character more and more impulsive.
"I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else." Souji said and was about to turn around before Naruto spoke again.
"Who were you looking for?"
"A friend of mine"
"Hmm... Didn't peg me as one who'd have friends. I thought you were the kind that'd stay indoors all day playing video games like Sonic the Hedgehog but i guess I was wrong."
It took all of Souji's will power, and the fact that he was under orders from the great Maous, to hold back and ignore the voice in his head screaming at him to behead the blonde or at least torture him before wiping his memories. It only helped to further his suspicion of the blonde.
"I could help you find your friend ya know" Naruto proposed.
Souji clenched and unclenched his fist reining on his anger. "Come on Souji, calm down, don't lose your cool, you're- Argh"
The knight of Sirzechs Gremory exhaled deeply before replying through gritted teeth. "Aren't you running late for work?"
"Work? How'd you know I was running late for work?" Naruto placed his palms over his mouth aghast pointing a finger at Souji. "Are you perhaps a talent scout?"
Souji's glare more than answered his question.
"Wouldn't be the first time a scout approached me because of my looks... Well, I bid you farewell, Stranger-san."
Naruto walked past Souji missing the strangling motion he was making with his fingers.
"Stranger-san..." Naruto's voice took on an icy edge which made Souji turn around taking a defensive stance. "Please make sure you're certain before stalking others... I almost called the cops on you" Naruto resumed his trek back to work like his voice taking on an icy edge was a normal occurrence for him.
(In the underworld)
"... My conclusion; He must be dealt with Swiftly. With lethal force if necessary."
Sirzechs massaged his temple after the long assessment of Souji on Naruto Uzumaki. The knight spoke about Naruto and the eerie figure he chased, declaring them one and the same, which was impossible.
Though, the blonde could make living copies of himself, turning to a video game character was out of the question. He wanted to investigate further but Sirzechs worried for his sanity, his self-esteem took a blow when he chased a fictional animal around.
"Are you sure this... Hostility isn't personal?" He questioned.
Souji opened his mouth to deny that accusation but the words died in his throat. Yeah, he was out for blood, he craved vengeance like he never had before.
"This isn't like you at all, Souji. You've been stressed out lately ever since you saw-" Sirzechs was interrupted abruptly.
"Don't. say. it." Souji's pupils dilated and half his face was covered by shadows.
"Ugh. Take the week off, Souji. You're dismissed." He did a shoo motion with his hands. Souji nodded and left via teleportation circle.
A knock on the door stole Sirzechs's attention from the stacks of paperwork on his table. Those blasted papers kept growing and growing and he always complained to his wife and she always told him she had a method to stunt the growth of those blasted stacks of paperwork… Diligence. He'd berate himself for hoping Grayfia had a magical panacea to his problem. The irony, devils command magic and yet Sirzechs Gremory, the great Maou, couldn't do shit about paperwork with magic. The sight of Venelana Gremory walking into his office eased his worries like a river carrying a paper boat on its surface.
"I couldn't help but overhear your conversation with Souji. He seems stressed out lately."
The great Maou sighed and relaxed into his chair rocking it back and forth.
"I haven't seen you this tense in a while." She said as she moved behind her son and massaged his back. "Work problem? Care to share it with Mom?" She asked.
"It's a human living in Kuoh." He answered.
"Isn't that Rias's territory? Did something happen to my baby?" She asked in fear.
"No, nothing like that Kaa-san. It's just that... I don't even know where to begin."
"I have all day..." She said
"You remember the piece of paper with strange markings?"
"Never heard of it." Venelana had a clueless look plastered on her face.
"The paper with the ability to suppress a Phenex regeneration?" He explained.
"Yeah! I remember that. That was quite a dangerous combination of paper and ink." She joked.
