"I respect Rias' desire to be independent. I'm sure she'd be mad if she found out I was protecting her from the shadows, but…I'm her brother. I'm always going to want to protect her," Sirzechs said softly, a small smile on his face. Taking a deep breath, he continued, "When I did this, I made a promise to myself. If Rias managed to break her engagement to Riser, I would legitimately allow her to become independent. I would withdraw those troops. The time has come to follow through on that."
"The other factions no doubt noted the troop presence around the city. They backed off, knowing myself and Serafall would protect our siblings. With that presence gone, it might galvanize some of our enemies to act. If that happens, I entrust Rias' safety to you and the rest of her peerage. I do not want war, but if Rias were ever to be harmed…I'm not sure I could control myself."
"Crap. Not like I can refuse that," Naruto groaned out with a hand held to his head. Sighing, Naruto turned to Sirzechs as he declared honestly, "I shall protect Rias. You don't need to worry about that."
"Good," Sirzechs said with a smile. He then held out his hand to Naruto. Naruto automatically grabbed it. Bad decision. Naruto's hand was grabbed in a vice grip. Sirzechs' face turned scary as he whispered in a deadly voice, "Because if Rias is ever hurt because you got scared and ran…No force on this earth could protect you from my wrath."
Holy Crap! Naruto's hand was being crushed. Naruto could literally feel his bones cracking.
Naruto sure as hell wasn't going to back down though. Gripping back as hard as he could, Naruto leaned forward to press his forehead against the Maou's. Glaring, Naruto told him determinedly, "Don't worry then cause I'd rather kill myself than turn my back on my friends. If Rias is hurt, it will only be after I'm placed in a body bag."
Apparently satisfied with the answer, Sirzechs pulled back. Letting go of Naruto's hand in the process. Naruto let out a sigh of relief. He was sure he had a few broken bones.
Walking towards the door, Sirzechs stated happily, "Yep. Rias has got herself some very good servants."
Taking the compliment in stride, Naruto followed after the Maou. That was way more than Naruto expected.
He'd known he might be going out in chains for attacking a Maou. That might have been better than the responsibility Naruto had been given.
The day might arrive where Naruto was the only thing preventing war from breaking out. No pressure.
As soon as Sirzechs opened the door, it revealed Rias arguing with Grayfia. Rias turned to Sirzechs as soon as she saw him and exclaimed, "Thank goodness. Grayfia wouldn't let me…Did something happen to your nose Onii-sama?"
The Maou's nose was slightly swollen and red. He'd wiped the blood, but it was still noticeable. Laughing slightly, Sirzechs answered easily, "Yep. Your servant head butt me."
"He what?" Rias asked in horror.
"Head butt me…Three times actually."
"Three times?" Rias repeated, her horror growing.
"Yep. Yelled at me too," Sirzechs claimed with a smile.
Rias' eyes could not go any wider as she looked at Naruto in disbelief. Naruto blushed slightly. Crossing his arms, he looked away as he explained in embarrassment, "Well I wanted answers. I couldn't just allow him to get off scot-free after not helping you when you needed it."
"B-But, he's a Maou. You could get executed for that," Rias said to him incredulously.
"So?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow. He shot her a grin as he declared without hesitation, "I promised to help you, Rias-chan. No matter who stood in the way. If that means I have to head butt a Maou…three times, I'll do it. I'll always protect you, Rias-chan. That's a promise."
"Naruto," Rias whispered, blushing at his words. Her heart was suddenly beating very fast.
The moment was cut short by Grayfia. Placing a hand on Naruto's shoulder, she remarked calmly, "I've changed my opinion of you, Uzumaki-kun. I thought you were a pervert and deviant who seduced Ojou-sama. Now I see that you aren't a deviant. You are a fine young man. A massive pervert, but still a fine man. Plus, I always welcome a person who can keep this carefree master of mine in check."
Naruto could only respond with, "What the hell are you talking about lady?"
"Oh yeah, that reminds me," Sirzechs burst out, punching a hand into his palm. Turning to Rias, he exclaimed, "I heard that from Grayfia that you two do sexual play where Rias is tied up before sleeping on the floor like a dog. Boy was I surprised. I was actually planning on eradicating from existence the foul culprit who would dare do such a thing with my precious Ria-tan. Yet it appears my precious Ria-tan is actually a pervert who enjoys being treated like that. Seems Akeno had been right all along about you being a masochist."
"O-O-Onii-sama. I told Grayfia it was a misunderstanding," Rias stuttered out, her face red as a lobster.
"I'm still confused over here," Naruto stated, only to be ignored.
Sirzechs continued by claiming, "I was so very confused on what to do. Someone hurting and degrading my precious Rias-tan. I should destroy them with my Power of Destruction. Yet she enjoys it. Should I praise the person instead for taking care of her. Yet can such a thing truly be considered taking care of her?"
"So you're just going to ignore me." Yep, they just continued ignoring him.
"So eventually I decided to try and understand your fetish," Sirzechs finally announced. He gave Rias a starry eyes look as he continued, "I finally understood. It is so liberating being helpless like that. Grayfia refused to do it regularly, but I understand your feelings. Embrace your inner masochist, Ria-tan. You have my full support."
That caused Naruto to burst out laughing. Sirzechs looked confused by the outburst. Rias still looked mortified by the entire conversation.
Grayfia was somehow maintaining her cool despite the ridiculous scene happening in front of her.
