Chapter 104: Chapter 105
When she laid a hand on his shoulder, Naruto's head suddenly snapped up, Sharingan ablaze. Rias was immediately tackled to the ground as a pair of strong hands wrapped themselves around her throat. She choked as Naruto tightly squeezed her throat, slowly constricting the life out of her; she realized if not for everyone trying to their best to pull Naruto off of her he would have surely broken her neck. A tear slowly fell down the corner of her eye when she realized that the one she loved was killing her.
But then everything suddenly stopped.
"R-Rias-chan!" Naruto muttered, his eyes returned back to their normal bright azure color. He looked at his hands, strangling Rias, in shock.
"Na-ru-to-kun…" she tried to speak but when she saw the horrified expression in his eyes, she knew it was too late now
Naruto suddenly disappeared in a flash of yellow, leaving Rias lying flat on the ground staring blankly at the sky with tears in her eyes.
"Please tell me everything Yasaka-sama, I will try my best to help you," Grayfia urged gently while holding the blond hair woman's hand.
They decided to return to Uzumaki Mansion, and everyone wanted Yasaka to tell them the real reason why she came here. No one could forget what just happened mere moments ago, and the blood lust in the air when Naruto trying to strangle his childhood friend, the one he cherished the most, to death. Using her radar, Ikaros pinpointed Naruto's location, he was in his room. Placing seal upon seal, Naruto locked himself inside his room. With so many seals Grayfia couldn't drag him out without destroying the house. And by the look of it, Naruto most likely wanted someone to kill him.
Rias was currently sitting with her back to the door of Naruto's room. She was trying her best to keep the tears from falling but failed terribly. Rias tried to call for Naruto, but no matter what she tried he wouldn't answer even if she used their special bracelet.
She stayed like this for two hours. Akeno, Ravel, Koneko and everyone had tried to call for Naruto but they couldn't do anything better than her.
Rias suddenly felt a pressure pressing from the other side of the door, and realized it was Naruto leaning on the door.
"Na…ruto-kun," she inquired lowly, "are you there?"
There were no response, but Rias knew that Naruto was on the other side of the wall because of the warm, heat radiating from the bracelet.
"Naruto-kun" she wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled sadly, "It's alright, I'm not hurt or anything you know."
"How?" Rias heard a low whisper, but with her enhanced hearing she could hear it clearly m, "How can you not angry with me, after how I nearly killed you Rias?"
"I …"
But before she could finish her speech, the door suddenly opened and the next thing she knew, she was being pushed against the wall. Her eyes widened but then soften when she saw the tears flowing down his eyes, and the arms holding her weren't forceful at all. It was just as gentle as the way he always held her when they slept together in the same bed since they were young.
"You should hate me Rias!" Naruto yelled, "Don't you get it, there was a voice in my head that was telling me to kill you. No matter how hard I tried, my body just acted on it own. Like it was natural for me to kill you, it was like I was born to do so. You should hate me, look at me with disgust and attack me the next time you see me," Naruto lowered his head to her shoulder, "So why?!"
"It's okay Naruto-kun" She wrapped her arms around his neck and held him tightly,"It is okay, everything is going to be fine. It is all in the past now!"
Rias slowly fell to the ground while holding Naruto to her body. She never thought that today would be the day she saw him so weak like this. Naruto, who was always there for her whenever she needed him, the one who would be strong for everyone, comfort them when they felt sad. Naruto, who had broke her engagement just so she could find her own happiness and didn't care in the slightest about what happened to him afterwords.
Rias just sat there, holding Naruto close to her, letting him cried on her shoulder.
"Everyone, get ready!" Grayfia stepped out of the room with a stoic look on her face. Everyone sans Naruto and Rias was waiting outside of the room in a heavy, somber mood, "We will help Yasaka-sama rescue her daughter"
"Alright!" Issei punched his palm but suddenly remembered their missing members, "Grayfia-san, what about Naruto-senpai and Buchou?"
Ravel sniffled when she heard that. Asia immediately pinched Issei's hip making him yelp in pain. Everyone gave a long sigh.
"We will rescue her. I will go with you!"
A strong and familiar voice called out making everyone turn their head to the stairs. They saw Rias walking down the steps with Naruto close behind her. The blond was immediately tacked by three crying girls at the same time. Kiba got up from the chair and smiled in relief. Asia mimicked the blond knight's actions while Issei shouted in delight at the return on their senpais.
"I'm sorry everyone for worrying you all so much," he gently soothed and patted Ravel's shoulder.
The girls calmed down and let go of him, Rias decided to tell them that they should keep what happened after the Harpy's escape a secret and even Yasaka agreed to hold their secret. Naruto already had the higher-ups breathing down his neck like hungry vultures so he didn't need to give them another reason to scrutinize him.
