Millicas beamed at the ninja and did the same.
"Aww… You guys are so cute," Venelana cooed.
"Stay away from my brother!" Issei held Rias back as she tried to obliterate Naruto, who was blowing raspberries at her.
Naruto decided right there and then that he'd create a monster out of the boy. "Don't worry, Young Milli. I will teach you my most sacred technique."
"What's that?" Millicas asked.
"The art of the prankster from hell!" Naruto roared.
He couldn't help but remember a golden-haired child with fox ears, running away from her furious mother into his waiting hands.
He missed them dearly.
Those two.

The devil assigned to stalk Naruto reported the latest thing he was doing.
"He seems to be having a blast with Master Millicas, Lady Venelana, and everyone, sir."
Ajuka sighed over the phone. Azazel gave a shrug. He told the green-haired devil Naruto was an enigma and that he didn't bother to study him anymore.
He's cold and unapproachable today, and tomorrow he's all sunshine.
"Keep tabs on him, always," Ajuka ordered and cut the magic link.
"I don't know why you guys are worried. It's not like he's going to kill them or something with us leaders present."
"Let the blonde have some fun. Show him devilkind's good side and maybe his impression might change."
"He doesn't trust devils, that's why he's put up a cold front to your kind," Azazel concluded.
Azazel's eyes went serious as he hunched forward from his leaning pose. "I have reasons to believe he once came in contact with Rizevim in the past."
Ajuka listened on with rapt attention as Azazel spoke.

(Scene Change)
John, Martha, and Gaia stared at Naruto's room and exchanged a glance that said 'you thinking what I'm thinking?'
John rushed forward and turned the doorknob open in excitement only for him to experience a force field that flung him across the living room. With reflexes she never knew she had, Martha backflipped over her brother's flying body and landed on her knees.
"Mother-fucker," John groaned as he stood from the broken glass table.
Martha stared at her hands and tore her gaze to Gaia who was clapping.
"So, you haven't noticed?" she asked.
"Noticed what?" Martha replied with a confused look.
"Don't worry," Gaia replied with a knowing smirk.
She'd let her figure it out on her own. She bet Naruto would be thrilled to mould her himself so she wasn't about to spoil her adopted, little brother's fun.
"That paranoid sucker even put a seal around his room," John shook his head in disbelief.
Well then, now it's time to take care of the eleven-year-old who sat patiently on the couch waiting for Naruto.
Well, it's gonna be a long, boring, and dull week without the dull and boring Shinobi.

Cock a doodle do!
A red rooster with blue-feathered streaks cried, its neck veins bulging as it screamed its little chicken lungs out.
"Anytime now, Martha's going to wake me up…"
The rooster pecked at a few pebbles on the floor, flapping its wings.
Cock a doodle do!
We do not question how a cock was in the underworld in the first place… We roll with it.
"Anytime now…"
It was becoming more of a routine now. He'd hear Gaia and John talking about the morning news while Martha softly knocked on his door. Naruto counted from one to five mentally before the rooster cried for the third time.
Cock a doooodle d—
"Shit!"
Sapphire-blue orbs snapped wide open to an unfamiliar room before sensitive ears picked up soft snoring sounds.
"Hehe, Buchou no Oppai…" Issei rolled over, showing Naruto the perverted grin on his face.
The only devil he can, will, and is still sharing a bed with was muttering perverted things in his dreams. Even his subconsciousness wasn't spared from the force of his habit.
The Red Dragon Emperor; he wanted to see how much the boy had grown. He was looking forward to fighting the boy.

After he washed, Venelana provided him with a few spare clothes of Sirzechs to change into. Naruto earnestly declined—emphasis on earnestly—but the woman's will was as hard as diamond.
Venelana straightened the rumples on his shirt and said, "Feel free to ask if you need anything, Naruto."
Naruto nodded at her, his lips curving up a fraction.
"About the rating game… You see, devils are territorial creatures. She doesn't really hate you, she just feels threatened by your presence." Seeing Naruto's brow wrinkle in suspicion, she quickly added, "Not that I'm telling you to leave Kuoh or anything cause you're a human after all and you have your own house there and all."
Venelana stopped her panicked explanation when she saw the amused look on his face. Both human and devil shared a chuckle in the room.
"All I'm trying to say is that a peaceful co-existence should be what we value above all. Us great three factions have learned to do the same and we even formed an alliance. She's very young and inexperienced and as such, please take her stupid challenge as a little kid throwing a tantrum."
"I understand you, Venelana. I never really took her actions as offensive nor do I bear any hostile intentions towards her. She's young but she's gaining experience at a rapid rate, don't sell your daughter short."
Managing a group of devils ain't an easy thing to do, and she's managed to gain the reverence and respect of all her peerage members. It was nothing short of impressive.
Naruto has his own reasons, though they were petty and insignificant, he disliked associating with her for those reasons. He didn't hate the child. Since when did Naruto Uzumaki truly hate someone?
"Worry not, Mother Gremory, this sensei's going to teach your daughter a lesson on humility."
Venelana giggled at the nick he gave her and in that moment, Rias pulled the wardrobe door open.
She was just passing along the corridor when she heard giggles and chuckles.. One sounded just like her mother and the other sounded… Unfamiliar.
Let it be known that Naruto Uzumaki has never smiled, much less laughed in front of devils.
Rias peered in from the slightly ajar door wanting to see for herself why her mother was laughing out loud. Green orbs slowly widened till they were the size of dinner plates, almost threatening to fall off their sockets when she laid her eyes on the cause of her mother's lively giggles.
Her fury rose the clouds, scraping the firmament
"Naruto!"
