.(((OoooO))).
"Kushina! Are you ok?" a concerned feminine voice resonated in the caliginous room where a pale red-haired woman was lying half dead on a disassembled bed.
The owner of the voice was a beautiful woman who despite being many centuries old still looked to be in her early to mid-twenties with her blonde hair held up in an ornate fashion.
"I... I'm fine Layla." Kushina, the woman who was lying on the bed murmured in a shaky tone, indicating the lack of power in her fragile body.
At the words of her beloved friend, the female now know as Layla started shaking lightly while a look of utter grief claimed her beautiful face "No!, you are not. You are dying Kushina." she said while stroking her hands through the beautiful red locks of Kushina which were now drenched in sweat and tears.
Layla's sorrowful words had little or nothing effect on Kushina because the smile which was present earlier on her face was still at its place " I know that I am not going to make it, Layla, but I'm happy that my little Naruto is going to live." she whispered fondly, remembering her beautiful and precious son while her hand rose up to wipe the tears that began to stream down Layla's cheeks. "I have one last request for you, Layla"
"What?" came an immediate response from Layla. She would do anything possible to help her dying friend.
Kushina was about to speak, but a fit of harsh coughs stopped her stride for a while. Recovering from the pain a bit, Kushina smiled at her friend "I don't want my baby to become an orphan, Layla. I fear that devils may hate him because of his connection to me and my people. It was Minato-kun's last wish to see his son grow up with other devil children. So please promise me, Layla, promise me that you will make sure Naruto lives a happy and safe life in the underworld. Think of it as my last wish..." Kushina whispered and started weeping softly at the conclusion of her speech. Even in the last moments of her life, Naruto's safety was all she could think about.
Layla remained quiet for a while as she digested the words of Kushina in her mind. The words of her friend have brought many questions like, Will she be able to keep Naruto safe? Or, Will she be able to give him the love of a mother? Ruminating for a bit more, Layla nodded her head with a look of pure determination in her eyes "I promise you Kushina, no one in the underworld will ever know about Naruto's connection to you. His lineage will always remain a secret in the Underworld... The only thing that every devil will know is that he's the son of great Minato Phenex." Layla said as she grabbed Kushina's hand lightly.
Feeling a bit relieved by her friend's words, Kushina smiled brightly at Layla and abruptly engulfed her in a weak hug. "Thank you, Layla. Thank you so much." With those final words, Kushina gently closed her eyes.
~Unknown Place~
"I still can't believe that you allowed this to happen, sister" a deep manly voice reverberated throughout the silent void of nothingness. The said void was an unending loop with strange purple ring patterns embroidered around it randomly, giving the already dark void a rather more menacing atmosphere.
"Isn't he going to become too much powerful because of this?" the voice of the man again echoed in the void, but unlike the last time, this time the man's voice carried a tinge of interest in it.
To answer the query of the man, a soft feminine laugh disrupted the silence of the void again, making the strange purple ring patterns around ripple with every laugh. "This child interests me, brother. The story behind his origin interests me. His father, his mother and everything that is related to him interests me. I think he's the salvation that this tainted world currently needs" the unknown female intoned gently as her coal black eyes blazed menacingly in the darkness of the void.
.(((OoooO))).
At the very edge of a high mountain, a silhouette of a person could be seen sitting over there. The said person's blonde hair were flailing wildly in the wind and were giving an impression as if they were dancing in the slow melody of the breeze that was purporting the vast land of the Great Phenex House. The deep shining sapphire eyes of that person which were observing the vast land of the Phenex held an inconceivable amount of love and kindness hidden within them.
The person continued to observe the scenery in front of him for a while before he gradually stood up and brought a hand up to his mouth in order to stifle a yawn. He was about to take his leave but ceased as he suddenly sensed someone standing a little away from him. Lazily he turned his head a bit and looked over his shoulder to acknowledge the intruder.
The intruder was a busty girl with long, wavy purple hair that fell all the way down her back and had matching exotic purple eyes. At the right side of her face, several long purple strands of hair fell over to her breast and covered her right eye. The attire of the girl consisted of a navy blue tunic top with gold accents and a pale blue skirt with open sides. The girl completed her looks with black shoes and over matching thigh-high stockings with garter belts.
Noticing the uneasy look on girl's face, the boy instantly presumed the reason for her appearance and that it must have something to do with his mother or his little sister. "So Yubelluna, Who's the cause of the problem this time? My dear Mother or my dear sister Ravel?" the boy questioned the girl in a tone teemed in annoyance. His mother and little sister can be a real mess sometimes, but that's one of the main reason why he loves her mother and sister dearly.
The girl now known as Yubelluna who was standing a few beats away from the boy couldn't help herself and sweatdropped at her master's antics "Master Naruto, it is lady Layla this time, and knowing the seriousness of the situation Lord Phenex has asked me to bring you to his office." she answered in an even tone, trying very hard to stop herself from laughing at the face her young master was making.
As soon as Yubelluna finished her speech, an incoherent groan escaped Naruto's mouth while some sweet inappropriate words accompanied the groan soon after "Ohh... Then what are you waiting for? Lead me to the old man's office, dear Yubelluna..." he mumbled in a defeated tone.
A tinge of red dusted Yubelluna's fluffy cheeks at the use of the word "dear" by Naruto. No matter how many times she hears that word from Naruto's mouth, but it always manages to flutter her heart in an inexpressible way "Y..Ye...Yesss master Naruto" she sputtered and quickly looked away from her master in order to hide her embarrassment and the rising blush that seems to burn her cheeks down.
Noticing the uneasiness in Yubelluna's voice, Naruto abruptly turned his head to her and noticed the visible redness of her face. Bringing his face close to Yubelluna's, Naruto looked at her in worry "Do you have a fever Yubelluna? Your face is looking a little red." Naruto asked, concern evident in his voice. But unfortunately, this only made the situation worse for Yubelluna, as the blush on her face intensified thousandfold.
Noticing the sudden increase of redness, Naruto quickly placed the back of his right hand on Yubelluna's forehead in order to check her temperature, "Well…you are very hot…Yubelluna" Naruto said in concern, completely oblivious to the meaning that his words carried.
The small gesture of her master had a drastic effect on Yubelluna, her breaths hitched and her knees became weak. The hand that was resting on her forehead was radiating so much warmth that Yubelluna for a moment thought about engulfing Naruto in a hug in order to get more of this warm feeling. Not able to handle it anymore, Yubelluna did what anyone else in her place would have done... She screamed: "Stop master Naruto!"
Scared by the outburst of his brother's queen, Naruto quickly pulled his hand back and blinked at the famous bomb queen of the Underworld. "Stop what?" he asked and asked with so much innocence and cuteness that even the ever stoic bomb-queen, Yubelluna couldn't help but gush at his cute face for a minute.
Collecting her bearings quickly, Yubelluna leaped a little away from the young Phenex "Nothing master Naruto, it was just... Umm... Your hand was a little cold..." Yubelluna answered and quickly started cursing herself inwardly for the intellectual answer that her mind came up with.
Knowing that she has to change the subject of their talk somehow, Yubelluna quickly spoke again "Master Naruto, We must hurry otherwise Lord Phenex will get mad at me for not bringing you to him on time." she said with fake urgency and smiled when Naruto took her bait and nodded at her.
[Phenex Mansion]
(Lord Pehnex's Office).
Revan Phenex, head of the great Pehnex clan yawned lightly as his rather ~busty~ assistant l Victoria, who also happens to be his second wife dropped another pile of uncountable paperwork on his desk. He was about to complain about the work but refrained himself from doing so as soon as he noticed the withering gaze that his wife was handing him. Revan knew this gaze of his wife very well, this was a gaze that promised unimaginable amount of pain and most importantly, one week without sex.
"Revan dear, I hope you are liking it here!" Victoria chirped while swaying her plump hips lightly in a hypnotizing manner, well at least according to Revan.
Gulping loudly, Revan started shifting uncomfortably in his chair in order to hide his rising sword of manhood. "Absolutely Victoria darling!" He blurted out with a nervous smile on his face.
Victoria frowned at her husband's uncomfortable expression and decided to inquire about it "Are you all right darling?" she asked in worry.
"Yes, I'm" Revan shouted with a boisterous laugh.
Victoria sighed at her husband's antics and stared at him for a few more moments before turning around to the entrance door of the office. "Well If you have any problem, then don't hesitate to call me ok?"
"Ok," Revan muttered and sighed in relief when she finally left the room. 'She's too hot for her own good'.
Snapping out of his perverted thoughts, Revan groaned as his eyes finally took the notice of the unending pile of paperwork that was lying on his desk. Sighing to himself, Revan was about to indulge in the paperwork again but stopped as he sensed his son's energy near the office.
A bright smile engulfed his narrow face, when he finally saw his son, her brother's son to be precise, enter his office "Naruto, my boy!" Revan shouted jovially, while his eyes relished in the art that was Yubelluna's hourglass body for a second.
Naruto's eyes twitched as he noticed his father's predatory gaze that was lingering on an uncomfortable Yubelluna "Stop looking at her like that! And Don't waste my time old man. Tell me where is mother currently?" Naruto said in an incoherent manner.
Hearing his son's rather harsh remark, Revan slumped in his chair and muttered something about disrespectful handsome brats under his breath. "Layla is waiting for you at the mansion. She has something important to inform you." he murmured nervously and tried as hard as he can to avoid Naruto's piercing gaze.
Naruto's suspicious gaze stayed on his father for a second before an uneasy smile crept out of nowhere on his face. "Mom isn't going to kill me, Right?" he asked in genuine fear, while Yubelluna who was listening to the whole conversation from the sidelines slumped at Naruto's question. Even after being so different from each other, there was one thing that both, the father and the son seemed to share, and that thing was.. the fear of Lady Layla.
"Don't know, but if you keep on making her wait like this, then I'm a hundred percent sure that she will kill you!" Revan mumbled while his words came out in so easy going manner that even Naruto couldn't help but sweatdrop.
"I should take my leave then" with that said, Naruto glanced at Yubelluna and vanished in a yellow flash.
(((OoooO))).
Upon seeing the perfectly arranged dishes on the small dining table, the newly dusted kitchen appliances, the sparkling floor and the smell of something cooking, Naruto Pehnex shuddered. Today was an off for the maids, then who the hell did all of this. Remembering the smell of cooking, Naruto rushed to the kitchen and saw his ever beautiful mother, Layla Phenex dressed in a black and golden apron with a Phenex symbol ensemble on it. Layla's smooth hair was tied in a high ponytail with short bangs and chin-length strands framing her face, rendering her an aura of a perfect Yamato Nadeshiko.
Upon noticing her Naruto's presence, Layla turned off the stove and walked over to him with a noticeable bounce in her stride. "So you are finally here, my little Naruto darling." She said and glared at him with her electric blue eyes, which were enough for Naruto to make him take some steps back in fright. "I'm preparing lunch!. So sit down and wait for me there young man. Ok?!" she asked sharply and bonked him on the head with the blunt side of the kitchen knife.
"Aye! mother!" Naruto shouted in acknowledgement and paid his mother a quick nod of approval with a mock salute. His mother sometimes can be too scary for her own good. "So old man said that you wanted to talk with me about something very important." Naruto murmured, still not sure whether he will like the information or not. Seeing that it was his mother who was telling him the news, Naruto was sure it will be a shocking one at least.
Layla snorted slightly at him. "Nothing that much important. Revan can be a fool sometimes, you know." Layla said blankly, but Naruto was easily able to sense the irritation beneath the statement of his mother. "After all you are none better than him." Layla finished her statement with a teasing smirk.
Naruto chocked harshly as he instantly recognized the current tone of his mother. 'Is she mocking me?' Feeling a little insulted, Naruto was about to retort but halted in his actions as the sweet aroma of the dish that his mother was preparing reached his nostrils. 'Ramen'. The mouth-watering smell of the food caused his mouth to overflow with droll, and his stomach to growl loud in hunger. Rubbing his stomach sheepishly and not uttering a single word, he quickly sat on a hot seat beside the table.
Layla was true to her word. In just mere minutes, plates of delicious foods were set right in front of Naruto. Staring at the different plates of food, Naruto's stomach growled even louder. Delicious Soba Ramen severed in an equally delicious broth, Miso soup… they were all his favorite foods.
"Start eating, Naruto. I have made all of this only for you!" Layla chirped at him as he picked up the chopsticks, ready to take his first bite. The moment he slurped down the broth covered soba noodles, a warm feeling surged through his whole body. Layla, who was sitting opposite him, smiled ever so slightly at her son and leaned forward, propping her arms along the glass table and looking at her son expectantly.
The glint in her eyes prompted warning bells to sound in Naruto's mind. As he munched on more ramen, gears in his mind began working faster. Shit. Whenever his mother has such a glint in her eyes, it signified only one thing, and that is, she is up to something... something really bad. She has cooked all his favorite dishes, all at one sitting. This was strange...very strange, because usually, maids are the one who cooks up the food for him as Phenex household isn't that fond of Japanese food.
Snapping out from his thoughts, Naruto smiled nervously at his mother. "Thank you for the meal mama. The food is really awesome."
"Aww...my cute prince likes his mother's cooking" Layla cooed, but the dangerous glint still not left her eyes.
If he was not that sure earlier then he's perfect sure now. Shit. She wants him to do something for her, isn't it? Yep! His mother is definitely up to something really bad. Naruto gulped, while Layla looked at him wonderingly. "Why are you sweating, Naruto?" she asked in worry.
"Ohh...it's nothing mom. It's just that the soup was a little bit spicy," Naruto sputtered, his inner self already smacking him for his lame excuse. Plucking up the chopsticks, he continued eating while looking at his mother surreptitiously at the same time. His mind was working in a perfect clockwork and his eyes were concentrated on looking for more or less sort of clue so that he could know about what exactly his mother is up to this time.
"Is something bothering my Naruto?" Layla asked a little more gently this time.
After taking a slow, deliberate breath, Naruto Phenex, the badass of the underworld, prepared himself to be honest, and subsequently, prepared to get the shock of his lifetime. "Umm...Mother... It's just… to be perfectly honest…" he started slowly, "I can feel that you want something from me."
Layla's blue eyes blinked up at him. Naruto gulped and waited for the lightning.
And then, simply, "You have to marry Rias Gremory."
And Naruto was not disappointed, as he really received the shock of his lifetime.
(((OoooO))).
A.N - I hope you like the chapter. This is a tweaked re-upload of my story "Orange Whirlpool" which was removed from the site due to some unknown people reporting it to the admin of the site.
For all my new readers, I want to inform you all that this fic will not be a deep meaningful story, but will still have some fight and some badass moments.
As for the paring, well as you can see that this story will be similar to some sort of a mild fluff, so the only route left for me is a harem. Also, the other reason for me to choose harem is that I personally like Harem, lol. ;-).
Names for harem - Currently only Rias is fixed, maybe Akeno, I don't know. Other girls might be added upon your suggestions or the poll that I'm going to host in the coming days.
If you have got any suggestion or any question, please feel free to contact me through Pm.
Favorite, Follow and please don't forget to Review, as reviews will be really helpful for me in improving my English.
Alvida/Sayonara.
