Yo.
Been a while lads.
It took a while but we finally have it.
The date with Serafall!
Please enjoy.
Start:
Steam curled lazily into the night sky, drifting upward from the private courtyard bath nestled deep within Kyoto's inner palace.
Within the soothing heat, Yasaka reclined gracefully, her voluptuous figure sinking comfortably into the hot water.
Her golden hair, wet and silky, spilled elegantly around her shoulders, the tips floating lightly on the surface. Her massive, impossibly large breasts floated languidly, the buoyancy of the water barely managing to support their lush weight. The gentle sway of the water caused them to ripple and jiggle enticingly, a sight so captivating that Amaterasu found herself unable to look away.
Across from Yasaka, Amaterasu lounged lazily, her ethereal beauty illuminated by moonlight. Her slender, graceful body was submerged comfortably up to her collarbones, with her flawless, porcelain skin glistening wetly. Her shimmering black hair, tied loosely atop her head, left her delicate neck and shoulders fully exposed.
Despite her own considerable beauty, her gaze remained fixed on the mesmerizing sight of Yasaka's enormous, perfect breasts.
Finally, unable to resist any longer, Amaterasu leaned forward abruptly, reaching out with both hands to grasp Yasaka's magnificent chest. Yasaka's eyes widened in mild surprise, though she was hardly shocked by this display—Amaterasu had always had a fascination with her figure.
"Honestly…," Yasaka deadpanned, feigning mild annoyance even as a slight blush colored her cheeks, "You never change, do you?"
Amaterasu ignored her, squeezing the soft, warm mounds gently, her fingers sinking delightfully into their plushness. "How can I? These breasts are impossible!" she marveled, lifting the massive globes gently before letting them fall again, watching in fascination as they jiggled obscenely.
"I mean, just look at these things! How do you even walk with these all day?"
Yasaka sighed deeply, the expression on her face clearly indicating that this wasn't the first time she'd faced this particular line of questioning.
"No wonder Naruto is always so distracted." Amaterasu chuckled softly, continuing to play with Yasaka's breasts, her slender fingers tracing teasing circles around the nipples, causing Yasaka to shiver slightly. "He must feel like he's in heaven every night."
"Oh, he's certainly not complaining," Yasaka replied smoothly, a sly smirk playing at her lips. Despite the casual annoyance in her tone, Yasaka secretly relished Amaterasu's gentle, curious touches. Her breasts had always been sensitive, and the casual intimacy was deeply enjoyable.
And Naruto didn't mind the interaction between herself and Amaterasu since he had witnessed it a great many times and found it arousing.
So no issue there.
Although it was an issue if a man, or any other woman outside of Amaterasu were to do this.
Amaterasu paused briefly, fingers still lightly squeezing and kneading Yasaka's massive bosom. "Naruto is truly the luckiest man alive. These are amazing."
Yasaka's smile widened, smugness radiating from her entire being. "Speaking of our dear Naruto, he left for his date with Serafall not too long ago."
Amaterasu raised an eyebrow, fingers momentarily pausing their delightful exploration. "And yet, you're not worried?"
"Why should I be?" Yasaka purred, amber eyes gleaming mischievously. "I made sure he'd have trouble thinking straight all night."
Amaterasu tilted her head curiously, still gently groping Yasaka's breasts, though now somewhat distracted by her pseudo sister's cryptic words. "What exactly did you do?"
Yasaka leaned forward conspiratorially, her breasts pressing enticingly into Amaterasu's waiting hands. "I simply told him to put a baby in me."
"You what?!" Amaterasu shrieked, her laughter echoing through the courtyard once more. "Yasaka! That was too much, even for me!."
Amused and smug, Yasaka leaned back, clearly savoring the memory. "Well, he needed a little extra incentive to hurry home after his date, didn't he?"
"You're truly evil," Amaterasu laughed, finally releasing Yasaka's breasts to cover her mouth as giggles continued to escape. "Serafall's going to be utterly flustered."
"Exactly the point," Yasaka said, smugness radiating from every syllable. "She might get him tonight, but he'll be back to me soon enough."
Amaterasu sighed contentedly, finally relaxing fully against the edge of the bath. "I have to admit, you really do know how to keep a man interested."
"Of course," Yasaka said, stretching her arms lazily above her head, making her massive breasts rise invitingly. "I'm his wife. It's my job to make sure he never forgets who's waiting for him at home."
Amaterasu lifted her teacup in mock salute. "To alpha wives, then."
"Indeed," Yasaka clinked her cup against Amaterasu's with a gentle smile. "To making sure our beloved Naruto knows exactly who comes first."
They lapsed into comfortable silence, the only sounds the gentle ripple of water and the quiet rustle of wind through nearby leaves.
Then, slowly, mischievously, Amaterasu's hand began inching toward Yasaka again.
"Amaterasu," Yasaka warned without opening her eyes, amusement coloring her voice.
"Just once more!" the goddess pleaded innocently. "They're just too addictive."
Yasaka sighed deeply, though her lips twitched upward. "Fine. Just don't be so rough this time."

At the same time, the male devil in question who was the topic of conversation back in Kyoto was deadpanning.
Naruto leaned back against the cool metal locker door, running a hand through his blond hair as he sighed deeply, eyes narrowing slightly in exasperation.
"Why exactly did we dress up again?" he murmured softly, shaking his head as he stared at the neatly folded pile of clothes beside him.
Everything had been carefully selected, meticulously put together to give off the perfect image for his and Serafall's date, and yet here they were, moments later, stripping everything off to enjoy a privately owned water amusement park from a dear friend of his.
He exhaled slowly, amused despite himself. Serafall had always had a penchant for spontaneity, something he'd admired about her even when they were young, and something that had clearly never changed. Still, he wondered why she insisted on looking so elegant if the plan had always been to get wet at a water amusement park.
Women…
Even after living for so long, he'd never understand them.
From Hinata to Selah to Serafall and Amaterasu to his own mom.
And of course…Yasaka.
The thought of his wife caused mind to inevitably circle back—back to a moment just before leaving, back to the words Yasaka had whispered so seductively in his ear:
"When my heat fully kicks in—I want you to put a baby in me."
Naruto felt his cheeks grow slightly warm, an involuntary reaction that tugged at both his embarrassment and his amusement.
He knew exactly what Yasaka had intended, that cunning, possessive milf of a wife he adored. Her timing couldn't have been more deliberate; the intent, crystal clear. She'd wanted to rattle him, to fill his mind with nothing but thoughts of her and what she'd offered. The thought both frustrated and delighted him in equal measure.
Yasaka's possessiveness knew no bounds. It was aggressive, but at the same time undeniably endearing. That she would sabotage his mental state just minutes before a date with another woman was so perfectly in line with her character that Naruto could only smile helplessly.
But damn, if the imagery she'd conjured wasn't proving dangerously distracting.
Naruto exhaled again, shaking his head firmly. No, he would not let Yasaka's sabotage ruin this evening. He genuinely wanted to enjoy this date with Serafall, who deserved his full attention for this date.
With a quiet resolve, he pushed the heated thoughts of his wife aside, gathering his swimming shorts and sliding them on.
Once fully dressed, he glanced at the mirror, giving himself a once-over—lean torso sculpted from years of relentless battle and training, arms powerful yet lean, corded muscle flexing slightly as he adjusted the waistband of his shorts. He nodded approvingly; confident, strong, and fully prepared to focus on Serafall.
"Alright," he whispered softly, smiling faintly to himself. "No more distractions."
Exiting the locker room, Naruto stepped onto the smooth, warm stone pathway that led to the waterpark's main area, his bare feet barely making a sound. As he emerged into the open, his breath instantly caught in his throat.
Serafall stood only a few feet away, smiling softly yet bashfully, dressed in nothing but a simple, yet scandalously revealing black bikini.
Naruto's jaw nearly dropped as he took her in, frozen momentarily by the sight. The swimsuit, minimalistic as it was, seemed to strain mightily against her curves, as though barely able to contain her abundant femininity.
His gaze immediately fell to her thighs—thick, lush, and mouth-wateringly plump, each powerful leg a flawless pillar of smooth, soft flesh that tapered gracefully into those wide, inviting hips. Her hips were breathtakingly wide, curving seductively outward before slimming into a small, delicate waist that emphasized just how perfectly voluptuous her figure truly was.
Naruto swallowed, his eyes slowly sliding upward, hungrily drinking in the sight of her massive, generous chest. Her large breasts heaved visibly with each breath she took, the soft, plush mounds pushed together enticingly by the bikini's tight fabric to form a deep and hypnotic cleavage.
Serafall's silky black hair cascaded freely down her back, framing her heart-shaped face, which was currently glowing with a charming mixture of shy anticipation and delighted embarrassment. Her violet eyes sparkled brightly, catching Naruto's stunned expression with obvious satisfaction, though her own blush deepened considerably as she took in the sight of his nearly-naked form in turn.
For a few heartbeats, neither spoke, the tension between them simmering with an intensity that sent sparks through the air. Then, gathering herself, Serafall stepped forward slowly, her hips swaying with hypnotic grace, thighs gently rubbing together with each deliberate stride.
"Like what you see?" Serafall asked playfully, though her voice trembled faintly with barely concealed nervousness. She stopped mere inches from Naruto, tilting her head upward slightly to look him in the eyes, her blush darkening noticeably.
Naruto laughed softly, regaining his composure enough to offer a crooked grin. "That's putting it mildly," he admitted with a slight, honest warmth. "You look amazing, Serafall."
(Just a small thing to note, I made a mistake with her height in chapter…5 I think, or 6, where I stated she was at 4 ft 10 because she looks that short in the anime, anyway, her actual height is 5ft 2 and that's her height in this story, so ignore what I said in chapter 5 or 6 about the height, she's 5ft 2 in this story)
Her blush intensified further, delight shining clearly in her eyes as she softly bit her lip. "Good," she whispered shyly, the quiet sincerity of his compliment clearly affecting her.
They stood there, close enough that Naruto could smell the faint sweetness of her perfume mingling tantalizingly with her natural scent. For a moment, the world around them faded away, leaving only the warmth of the other's presence.
Finally, Serafall shyly broke the silence, her eyes traveling admiringly across Naruto's powerful build. "And you look… wow," she murmured breathlessly, openly marveling at his muscular form. Her eyes lingered appreciatively over the chiseled lines of his torso, the broad shoulders, and defined abs that marked years of relentless training.
Naruto chuckled gently, his eyes softening with affection. "Thanks," he murmured warmly. "Glad you find me appealing too."
She laughed lightly at that, her gaze meeting his once again, sparkling with genuine happiness. "Consider me thoroughly impressed."
He reached out, gently taking her delicate hand in his larger one, feeling the soft warmth of her palm against his skin. Serafall's fingers curled instinctively around his, and the brief contact sent an electric shiver racing through both their bodies.
Naruto tilted his head slightly, glancing around the beautifully illuminated waterpark, filled with swirling lights and enchanting scenery. "So, what first?"
Serafall squeezed his hand excitedly, her initial shyness fading into a more familiar exuberance. "Waterslide first! Definitely!" she declared firmly, already tugging him eagerly forward.
The shinobi and former hokage laughed outright, allowing her enthusiasm to sweep him along.

Time-skip: An hour later.
The Occult Research Club room, a spacious room that held its usual calm—a haven of quiet sophistication amidst the noisy school corridors outside. Seated opposite each other at a small, ornate chess table were Rias Gremory and Sona Sitri, their chess game progressing at a leisurely yet deeply strategic pace.
Rias sat with her legs gracefully crossed, delicate fingers hovering thoughtfully above a sleek black queen piece. Her vivid crimson hair gleamed subtly under the natural glow, cascading beautifully down her slender shoulders.
Opposite her, Sona wore an expression of cool, composed concentration, violet eyes analyzing every subtle move as she adjusted her glasses delicately.
Tsubaki stood quietly at her President's side, gaze respectfully lowered but watchful, always alert to her leader's silent signals, though her gaze subtly and occasionally drifted to a specific boy, cheeks lighting up in a small hue.
Akeno stood near the windows, her gentle smile ever-present, watching the match unfold with soft amusement. Kiba, likewise silent and observant, leaned comfortably against the far wall, unaware of Tsubaki's gaze.
Meanwhile, on the couch nearby, Issei Hyoudou, Asia Arigento, and Genshirou Saji exchanged somewhat confused glances, neither entirely sure what the purpose of the meeting was, nor why their seniors seemed so deeply engrossed in their own conversation.
And Koneko was currently out.
Sona's fingers glided over a rook, gently moving it forward with careful precision. "It's fascinating," she murmured, her voice even and thoughtful, "how quickly things have shifted since Lord Phenex returned."
Rias, studying the board intently, allowed herself a small, gentle smile at the mention of that name.
Her reaction didn't escape Sona's observant gaze. The Sitri heiress found herself quietly amused by how openly her friend admired the man who had, quite literally and drastically, reshaped the political landscape of the Underworld in mere weeks since his returned
"You seem particularly pleased by his return," Sona remarked, a faint teasing edge slipping gently into her otherwise serious tone.
Although that was rather obvious since it was due to his return that Rias was no longer in an arranged marriage contract with a devil she had wholly detested for most of her life.
But it did somewhat seem to her already that her red-headed friend admired the new Phenex lord a bit more than she had thought.
Rias lifted her gaze from the chessboard, a soft pink blush coloring her cheeks at the teasing insinuation, but she quickly regained her composure. "Well, he did change my life directly," she admitted quietly, a soft smile gracing her lips. "It's hard not to feel very grateful."
Especially when she had learned from her older sister that Naruto had privately threatened Lord Bael to his face and placed her under his protection despite the fact that they haven't even met yet.
So yes… she was extremely grateful for his return.
He was pretty much her hero.
A bit embarrassing to acknowledge even in the luxury of her private thoughts but that didn't make it any less true.
Naruto Phenex was Rias's hero.
"Understandable," Sona noted softly, her expression unreadable, yet subtly supportive. "Considering everything he's done."
Rias laughed quietly, softly setting down her black queen after a moment's consideration. "I feel so free. Honestly, I would really like to express my heartfelt gratitude to him once I get the chance. And fortunately, we have many opportunities considering how close our siblings are to him."
Siblings…
Sona allowed her thoughts to drift momentarily toward her sister, Serafall. A soft shadow flickered across her usually composed features, brief enough that anyone other than Rias might have missed it.
Yet Rias noticed instantly.
"Something else on your mind?" Rias asked softly, her eyes gentle and encouraging.
Sona hesitated briefly, adjusting her glasses with a gentle sigh before finally speaking quietly, somewhat reluctantly. "It's…Serafall."
"Ah," Rias murmured knowingly, leaning back slightly as realization dawned on her face, having already pieced together the issue even though it wasn't stated yet.
Unaware of her friend's thoughts, Sona's cheeks tinged faintly, her embarrassment subtle but genuine as she stated. "You know how much I've always complained about her constantly hovering around me—her overbearing affection."
Rias nodded, silently encouraging her to continue.
"Well, lately she's barely been around," Sona confessed quietly, eyes lowered toward the chessboard, tracing patterns in its polished wood surface. "Ever since Lord Phenex returned, she's been completely absorbed. I hardly realized how much I'd grown accustomed to her constant meddling until it was suddenly gone."
The redhead smiled gently. "You miss her fussing over you?"
Sona flushed slightly deeper, though she refused to openly admit it aloud. "It's simply…strange," she murmured carefully. "I hadn't realized how much her constant presence had become a part of my daily routine. Now that she's absent, everything feels somehow incomplete."
The admission was softly spoken yet surprisingly vulnerable, especially coming from someone like Sona, known universally for her unwavering self-control and poise. Even Tsubaki appeared momentarily startled, though she quickly schooled her features back into quiet neutrality.
Akeno quietly chuckled, eyes twinkling warmly. "Perhaps it's time for you to meddle a little in return. After all, siblings do tend to need reminders every now and again."
Sona raised a delicate eyebrow, though a faint smile ghosted at the edges of her lips. "Perhaps you're right."
Their quiet exchange was abruptly interrupted as Issei awkwardly cleared his throat, scratching his head sheepishly. "Um, sorry to interrupt, President, but…who exactly is this Naruto Phenex everyone's talking about lately?"
Saji quickly nodded beside him, clearly just as curious. "Yeah, we've been hearing about him constantly, but no one's ever really explained who he is."
Sona shared a thoughtful glance with Rias, silently seeking her approval. The crimson-haired heiress simply inclined her head gracefully, eyes warm and supportive.
Turning her gaze back toward Issei and Saji, Sona adjusted her glasses carefully, a quiet confidence settling over her features. "I suppose it's time you both learned exactly why Lord Naruto Phenex matters—and what his presence means for us all."
The entire room shifted subtly, all attention instantly focused on Sona. Even Issei and Saji straightened instinctively, sensing the importance of the moment.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The deafening roar of rushing water filled Naruto's ears as the vibrant colors of the waterpark blurred past. With a final push off the slide's edge, gravity seized him, propelling him forward and upward through the air.
For a single breathless moment, time slowed, and Naruto hovered suspended in midair, feeling the cool rush of wind on his face and chest, droplets of water shimmering around him like crystals in the fading sunlight.
Then gravity reclaimed him—and he plummeted rapidly toward the massive pool below.
With a tremendous splash that sent waves surging outward, Naruto crashed into the pool. Water surged up around him, bubbling and swirling before settling back down.
Yet instead of hitting the bottom as he expected, his descent halted abruptly as two soft, powerful arms caught and cradled him gently before he was gently pulled up and out of the depths of the water, his head out of the surface of the water though the rest of his body was still submerged.
Blinking water out of his eyes, Naruto looked up, finding himself gazing directly into Serafall's bright, flushed face.
"You okay?" Serafall murmured, laughter dancing lightly in her sapphire eyes. Her cheeks were adorably pink, and droplets of water clung enticingly to her thick, raven hair.
Naruto grinned up at her from his position in her arms, amused at their sudden intimate proximity. "Perfectly fine, Sera. Nice catch."
Serafall's blush deepened adorably, and she gave him a shy, somewhat embarrassed smile. "Well, I couldn't exactly let you drown, could I? That wouldn't make for a very memorable first date."
"You know," Naruto teased gently, leaning in closer, his voice dropping to a teasing whisper, "I never imagined the great Serafall Leviathan would be this shy."
Serafall blushed furiously, eyes widening slightly in embarrassment as she tightened her embrace instinctively. "I-I'm not shy!" she protested weakly, cheeks puffing in an adorably childish pout. Yet even as she denied it, her arms wrapped more snugly around him, pulling his bare, muscular chest firmly against the softness of her plush body.
Is that so?
Well he begged to differ.
Naruto grinned knowingly, his eyes sparkling playfully. "Really? You could've fooled me. You're blushing harder than a schoolgirl with a crush."
Serafall's pout deepened dramatically. "S-stop teasing me, Naruto! I'm allowed to be a little flustered, aren't I? After all, it's you."
He tilted his head slightly, smiling warmly. "Oh? And just what exactly does that mean, Sera?"
The leviathan's expression faltered, eyes wide, clearly realizing she'd said more than intended. Yet instead of withdrawing, she simply buried her face shyly into the crook of his neck, sighing softly. "It means... I've waited a very long time for moments like this. Just let me enjoy it, okay?"
His playful expression softened instantly, replaced by a quiet, tender warmth.
His arms moved instinctively around her back, pulling her even closer against him. "Alright," he whispered softly, holding her securely. "Enjoy all you want."
They remained like that for a gentle moment, savoring each other's closeness.
Eventually, Serafall raised her head slightly, her eyes brightening mischievously as she recovered her playful confidence. "Enough mushy stuff," she declared abruptly. "Now it's my turn."
Hmm?
Naruto blinked curiously, eyebrows lifting slightly. "Your turn?"
Serafall smirked impishly, eyes glinting with barely concealed excitement. "That's right. It's my turn to choose what we ride next—and I'm feeling bold. I say we take on the Leviathan's Wrath."
"The Leviathan's Wrath?"
That sounded…ominous.
Although he barely suppressed a deadpan at the name.
She giggled, nodding eagerly. "It's the craziest, wildest, and most extreme waterslide in this entire park. Vertical drops, insane twists, loops, and enough speed to leave you breathless. Sound fun?"
Naruto's grin widened appreciatively. "Lead the way."
With a delighted squeal, Serafall gently released him, grabbing his hand as they exited the water. Water trailed enticingly down her flawless, porcelain skin, emphasizing every luscious curve.
"Come on!" Serafall urged excitedly, stretching her devilish bat-like wings from her back. Naruto did likewise, their powerful wings lifting them effortlessly skyward. They soared toward the tallest structure in the park, a colossal spiraling waterslide, colored deep ocean blue, which loomed like an aquatic mountain beneath the evening sky.
Upon reaching the towering peak, their wings vanished seamlessly, and Naruto couldn't resist stepping closer behind Serafall, eyes locked on the mesmerizing sight of her enormous, round backside.
Her wet bikini bottom clung desperately to the obscenely thick, wobbling ass-globes, outlining every enticing curve. Each step sent her vast and fat cheeks bouncing heavily, slapping gently against each other with every playful sway.
Unable to resist, Naruto reached out impulsively, hand connecting firmly with one plump, soft mound, smacking it lightly yet sharply enough to send the entire cheek rippling wildly. Serafall squeaked adorably in surprise, spinning around instantly with wide, embarrassed eyes.
"N-Naruto!" she stammered, cheeks scarlet, expression somewhere between mortification and delighted shock. "D-did you just—?"
He chuckled openly, entirely unapologetic. "I couldn't resist. It was practically begging to be smacked."
Serafall's embarrassment deepened adorably, and she quickly buried her burning face into Naruto's chest, clinging to him shyly. "D-don't say such embarrassing things!" she whined, voice muffled. "Pervert!"
Naruto laughed warmly, gently wrapping his arms around her smaller frame, fingers caressing the soft curve of her waist soothingly, his voice lowering seductively against her ear, "How can I resist when your butt is so fat and huge?"
"It's not fat!"
"But you didn't deny it being huge."
"You're terrible," she murmured, pouting annoyedly at him. "You really love teasing me, don't you?"
"Guilty," Naruto admitted without hesitation, his eyes sparkling warmly as he gently stroked her back. "But it's only because your reactions are adorable."
She sighed dramatically, finally releasing her grip, though her eyes glittered mischievously. "Alright, Mr. Charmer. You ready to face the Leviathan's Wrath?"
Naruto grinned confidently, stepping forward toward the mouth of the massive slide. "Always."
The slide's entrance was enormous, the interior pulsing with glowing magical lights, water rushing furiously along the spiraling path ahead. Naruto climbed in first, positioning himself carefully, feeling Serafall settle comfortably behind him. Her thighs squeezed gently around his waist, her arms wrapping lovingly around his broad chest from behind.
"Ready?" she whispered eagerly against his ear, her warm, soft breath sending pleasant shivers through him.
"Absolutely."
With that, Serafall pushed them off, and they immediately shot forward at dizzying speeds.
Water roared around them as they plunged downward, the slide tilting vertically, sending Naruto's heart racing with exhilaration.
They flew through loops, corkscrews, and plunges so sharp they momentarily defied gravity, suspended weightlessly as water rushed around them in a brilliant cascade of sparkling droplets. Naruto laughed aloud, joy surging through his veins, loving the way Serafall's delighted laughter mingled with his own, creating a music uniquely theirs.
As they approached the final, immense plunge, Serafall squeezed him tighter, whispering excitedly into his ear. "Hold on tight—this last drop is intense!"
Naruto braced himself instinctively as they raced forward, the tunnel opening into empty air. For a breathtaking second, they soared freely above the massive final pool below. Naruto's breath caught, exhilaration flooding him as they fell together, Serafall's ecstatic laughter ringing joyously in his ears.
They hit the water in an explosive cascade of shimmering droplets, surfacing moments later laughing wildly. Naruto spun around, immediately pulling Serafall close, their laughter mingling breathlessly as they clung together in the gently rippling water.
Serafall's eyes sparkled beautifully, her smile radiant, joyful, and impossibly sweet. Naruto's heart softened deeply, tenderness and affection swelling warmly within him.
"See?" Serafall teased breathlessly, smiling playfully up at him, her arms wrapped lovingly around his neck. "Wasn't that amazing?"
Naruto smiled softly, gently stroking her damp hair from her face, voice tender. "Incredible. But honestly, it was you who made it special, Sera."
Serafall blushed shyly, eyes glancing downward briefly, voice gentle, almost hesitant. "Naruto…I—" She hesitated, clearly trying to find the right words. Finally, she simply rested her forehead against his chest, sighing softly. "I'm just glad we're having fun."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Time-skip: Three hours later.
A gentle, soothing silence enveloped them as Naruto and Serafall slowly walked along the softly illuminated path beneath the silvery moonlight. The distant sounds of the water park had faded away, leaving only the soft rustle of leaves and the quiet chirping of nocturnal insects in their wake.
Naruto's arm rested comfortably around Serafall's slender shoulders, holding her gently but protectively against him. She leaned into his side, her head nestled lovingly against his chest as they wandered together through the tranquil gardens leading to the restaurant he'd reserved entirely for their private enjoyment.
"Today was perfect, Naruto," Serafall murmured contentedly, her voice dreamy and tender as she breathed in deeply, savoring the scent of his warmth. "Everything so far was just amazing."
Naruto smiled softly down at her, his expression gentle and affectionate as his thumb stroked slow circles along her shoulder. "I'm glad you're enjoying our date, Sera.
She glanced up at him, lips curled into an adorably shy smile. "You know we absolutely have to do this again soon, right?"
He chuckled warmly, nodding in easy agreement. "Of course. If that's what the lady wishes, I won't complain."
Her eyes sparkled excitedly, and she playfully nudged his side, pretending to pout at his teasing tone. "You make it sound like a chore!"
Naruto laughed softly, gently squeezing her shoulder, pulling her a bit closer as they walked leisurely along the illuminated path. "Not at all. In fact, I'm already looking forward to our next date."
Serafall's cheeks flushed, but her delighted smile was impossible to hide. "Good, because I've already got tons of ideas for next time. Just you wait and see, Naruto. I'll plan something even more memorable."
He tightened his hold on her as she immediately snuggled closer into him. For several moments, neither of them spoke, simply enjoying the tranquil serenity surrounding them, each lost in their own pleasant thoughts as they walked
Eventually, Serafall broke the silence with a soft, dreamy, lovestruck sigh, her voice barely audible, a sweet, kitten-like mewl of utter happiness. Naruto smiled tenderly and gently leaned down, pressing a warm, gentle kiss atop her head.
Yet despite the beautiful peace around them, Naruto could feel something else beneath her silence, something gently weighing upon her.
But he didn't press her for answers.
Understanding she needed a bit of time before she voice whatever it was on her mind.
It was maybe a minute later when finally, Serafall spoke again, voice quieter, hesitant.
"Naruto… can I ask you something?"
He nodded softly, sensing her shift in tone. "Anything."
She took a slow breath, cheeks coloring slightly as she peeked shyly up at him. "Have… have you found a Lady Phenex yet?"
Naruto blinked in mild surprise, clearly not expecting such a question, but he answered truthfully.
"No, not yet. It's not for lack of candidates—the opposite in fact as you already know. There's more than a few who would want that position. But…" He hesitated briefly, eyes thoughtful. "I'm not sure I want someone who has the typical mindset most devils hold. You know how different the Phenex clan is, along with the Sitri, Gremory, and Belial clans. I want someone who shares those same kinder, compassionate values."
Serafall nodded slowly, her expression softening with understanding, her voice growing even gentler. "I see… I understand completely."
Naruto glanced down curiously, gently tilting her chin upward with his fingertips, searching her face softly. "Why did you ask, Sera?"
He had an idea.
But he'd rather hear what she had to say before making any assumptions.
Serafall hesitated for a brief moment, her eyes flickering nervously, cheeks heating up noticeably. Then, taking a deep, steadying breath, she gathered her courage and met his gaze firmly, her voice trembling slightly as she finally confessed her heart's desire.
"I… I wanted to know because… because I'd like to be the one. I'd like to be Lady Phenex. Your Lady Phenex."
Naruto stopped walking, genuine surprise flooding his expression as he looked down at her, seeing nothing but pure sincerity shining in her eyes. His heart pounded faster, realizing the depth of her confession. "Serafall… you know what that means, don't you? Becoming Lady Phenex would mean giving up your position as Leviathan entirely."
Serafall nodded gently, a determined look in her eyes despite the faint tremble in her voice. "I know, Naruto. Believe me, I know exactly what that means. But the thing is… I don't care about the title anymore. I don't care about politics or status. The only thing I want—the only thing that matters—is being with you."
Her voice grew softer, filled with heartfelt vulnerability as she reached up, placing her palm gently against his chest.
"For two hundred years, Naruto…my heart was so empty without you. When you disappeared, it felt like a very large part of me had vanished, too. It hurt so badly… and even though Sona brought back so much warmth into my life, there was always this deep emptiness inside me, one that could only be filled by you."
Naruto felt a pang of guilt seize his chest as he saw the sincerity of her pain reflected openly in her eyes.
Wordlessly, he reached up, gently taking both her hands in his own, bringing them carefully to his lips. He pressed gentle, apologetic kisses along her knuckles, silently conveying his deepest remorse for having caused her such pain.
Serafall's expression softened further, eyes shimmering tenderly as she shook her head slightly, offering him a sweet, forgiving smile. "I never blamed you for being gone. But now that you're back…all I want is to finally be with you. I want us to build a life together, start a family… have so many wonderful children together that we can cherish, spoil, and love."
This woman…
How was it possible to be this precious…
He gently pulled Serafall close, wrapping his arms securely around her smaller frame, holding her lovingly against his chest, whispering gently into her hair.
"You've really thought about this, haven't you?"
She nodded shyly against his chest, her voice muffled but clear. "For two hundred years, Naruto. Every single day. Even when I tried to convince myself otherwise… my heart never stopped loving you. Never stopped longing to be yours."
Naruto tightened his embrace gently, overwhelmed by her sincerity and the depth of her devotion. He softly caressed her back, feeling her warmth pressed tenderly against him.
"Serafall," he finally murmured, voice thick with emotion, "knowing you've felt this way…means more to me than you'll ever understand."
Serafall lifted her gaze slowly, eyes shimmering brightly as she smiled softly up at him, vulnerability and hope mingling beautifully in her expression. "Then…does that mean…?"
Naruto smiled softly, gently cupping her cheek with his hand, thumb tenderly brushing her flushed skin. "I would be happy to have that future with you, if you can handle my snoring of course."
She giggled freely and deliriously, unrestrained in her joy as happy tears began to trail down her cheeks. "I think I can handle it."
He knelt down to her, just as she rose up on her tip toes.
A contact, small and gentle, between their lips, conveyed much of the bright future that time had in store for them.
End.
