Martha's purple orbs shrunk, as if in trance when his words settled in.
Can an evil power be used for good?
At some point in time, the demon used his powers for good, protecting the woman he loved. She was sure she had precious people too but they were the ones protecting her.
Seriously, what are the odds of you killing Martha with the nearest thing to a super ninja god, an actual goddess and a sacred gear welding older brother who's a cop, by her side?
Issei glanced at the time on his phone and panicked. "Shit! I gotta go. I'll see you later." he hurriedly paid for the coffee and left, crossing off coffee bay and on to the next destination on his list.
Power can only be used for good or evil.
Issei's words kept on reverberating through her mind.
"Is it really up to me ?" Martha wondered in deep thought all afternoon.
(Scene Change: Evening, Uzumaki Mansion)
"Isn't this illegal, John?" Naruto asked as he bought Mayfair for 10,000yen
They were playing monopoly with real currencies.
"No, no it's fine." John glaced at the board, taking his properties into account.
Just four streets plus a station and Naruto had only one property, Mayfair, which he just bought which was coincidentally the street he had his eyes on.
He had to win this match. Losing wasn't an option. The future of the KCPD investigation was on the line.
Gaia rolls the dice and lands on GO. She rolls again and lands on chance, earning ¥50 from each person. "Is she going to be okay?" she asked, ending her turn.
"Yeah, she'll be fine. I'm keeping tabs on her." Naruto replied.
"I thought you said to give her some space?" Gaia asked.
"I am. That's why I didn't send my clones to shadow her."
"Then, how are you keeping tabs on her?" John wondered, rolling his eyes at the blonde's senseless reply.
"I can sense her, dumbass." He pointed at his eyes which were toad-like.
"Oh," John huffed. "One of your ninja magic tricks— Ow!" He winced in pain courtesy of a slap to the wrist from Naruto.
"Don't compare Jutsu to Magic. This is a heightened state called sage mode. In other words, Nature's my bitc— Ow!"
"Be nice, Naruto." Gaia whacked Naruto on the head, a sickly-sweet smile on her face.
Naruto and John went silent—narrowed eyed—staring at each other for a moment before they glanced at Gaia at the same time.
"How mysterioso, the El cycle is incompleta."
"Cee, John senior. This Chika ought to be abofeteado."
"Since when could you two speak Spanish, Hermano, Policía?" Gaia smiled, a pale green mist surrounding her.
"Mierda!" Both guys cursed in fear.
"Who wants some pizza?" Naruto shrunk back into his chair, sweating bullets, trying to save his hide.
"Strangely, I'm craving for a bite." John replied, shifting away from Gaia.
"I'll consider the apology this once." Gaia smacked her lips, feeling good.
"It's settled then." Naruto grinned and took out a flier from his pocket and squeezed it in his fist. He then proceeds to make a mock summoning ritual, chanting 'nu' repeatedly and ending with 'Shara'
A red magic circle materialized on his dining floor and out came a red haired busty girl.
"You called, Master."
"Yes," Naruto laid back on his seat and adopted a smug look on his face. "I would like a family size pizza with three bottles of cola."
John and Gaia stared at the exchange with raised eyebrows.
"Anything else?" Rias replied with a sickly sweet smile.
"You are dismissed."
The other adults in the house blinked, trying to process, trying to figure out what just happened.
"What?" Naruto asked, when he noticed their stares.
"That's the red-haired girl living next door, right?"
"Hm."
"What did you do this time?" Gaia groaned.
"I didn't do anything. It's all on her." Naruto defended himself, raising his hands up in the air.
Naruto sat up straight all of a sudden and stared at the board intensely, a pang of restlessness shooting throughout his body. "My lucky senses are tingling…"
"Isn't that a good thing."
"It usually Is but…" A gut instinct told him not to roll the dice, the feeling that a disaster waiting to happen was headed towards him.
"Fuck it!"
He threw the dice anyway.
A double six appeared and It was at that moment, as if time itself had stilled, a single tone reverberated throughout the entire house.
Ding Dong.
Naruto whipped his head to the front door.
It's now or never.
Upon getting to the door, Naruot laid his eyes on the person he least expected to see in his front door looking defeated and crestfallen.
"Hyoudou?"
(Scene Change)
The evening sun bathed the streets of Kuoh in an ethereal orange glow. Indeed it was quite beautiful but fated to last a few moments as the sun slowly but surely disappeared into the horizon. The asphalt was the only thing she had her eyes on as she backtracked on auto-pilot back to the confines of her home.
She couldn't find a decent job, too caught up thinking about her conflicting ideas. What was expected of her and what she really wanted.
Was she fated to be a wuss?
A melodious giggle jolted her out of her thoughts as a little kid ran past her, ignoring hIs mother's plea to slow down. As he ran past, time seemed to slow down for her, her gaze fixed on the carefree joyful look on his face.
Could she really go back to being an innocent, carefree joy-filled human? Back to her ignorant life? These thoughts welled up in her as she walked past the mother of the young boy.
The sound of a car's engine coming from behind her increased, drowning her footstep as the driver stomped on the accelerator abandoning all respect for traffic regulations.
A fear-stricken shrill tore through the air, saturated with untold despair, a voice she recognized. It belonged to the young mother she just wen
"Thank you, really. You don't have to worry about the bills, It's on me." she spoke up, placing her hand on her chest.
"No need for that. I got this one." John intervened with a smile.
