DxD: The Fox and Demons

Chapter 4: Chapter 04



Anyways, while the clones were getting information, Naruto himself decided to be useful and try to get some money, he couldn't live off of an empty pocket after all.

He did some odd jobs here and there, which eventually forced him to create a new team of clones to henge into different people to get more money. As he very simply wasn't making enough with jobs that had bosses that didn't ask too many questions.

The plan worked beautifully and he eventually got himself a decent-sized home for his new base of operations.

...Through means that probably weren't entirely 'legal'...but at least he bought the damn thing. So no harm, no foul, right?

At the very least, he didn't have to spend time in the parks anymore, the police kept kicking him out of the place.

He had no idea that sleeping there would cause people problems, it was called a 'public area', wasn't it?

Damn. He was still bitter about that.

He felt lied to, next time they shouldn't call it 'public' if that was really the case!

Anyways, he also got new clothes to better fit in with the people around him, orange jumpsuits just weren't in fashion.

A shame, really. No one could appreciate his tastes.

They'd catch on though, he was sure of it.

Nevertheless, he now usually sported a plain black t-shirt, a sleeveless burnt-orange hoodie with a personalized red swirl at the back, dark blue jeans with a black belt, and a pair of white and blue sneakers.

He tended to wear finger-less black gloves to complete his set-up, just in case.

Naruto was still Naruto. And Naruto sometimes got into some trouble, usually with some punks here and there.

Outside of some small scuffles though, he pretty much stayed low, and it seemed like he would stay that way.

...At least that was the case, until recently.

Unfortunately, while taking orders, a policeman entered the little restaurant where a clone of his was working as a waiter.

...While not wearing a henge, much to the blond's simmering annoyance.

That was the beginning of the end of his relatively free and peaceful life, made worse when he realized weeks later, that he never questioned the events that were about to take place properly.

But that was, obviously, something for later.

The policeman apparently noticed how young his clone looked, and mentioned that he should be at school right now, pushing him to go despite any and all protests.

At the time, his clone was horrified that he would be forced to spend money to go to school when he was working already, let alone the prospect of going to school at all.

But, very simply, the policeman would have none of it. If he was caught again then he would get fined, and if he got fined then he would get a record.

Which meant that he would be in the system, and that definitely couldn't happen.

So after grimly realizing that the cops in the area now probably have a rough idea of how he looked like after that, and that there was no way that he could permanently have a henge up whenever he left home without messing up once or twice...he decided to just go to the most dreaded of all institutions.

Kuoh Academy was the closest high school available and Naruto wasn't too picky, so he applied to go and was eventually accepted after forging some papers.

And that was why the shinobi was heading back home, having woke up a little early to quit some of those odd jobs that he had before.

...He was heading back home to change into his new school uniform, preparing himself for his first day.

The blond almost vomited at the thought, already more than a little sick about the fact that he was going at all.

"...Why does this shit happen to me?" the teen wondered aloud, stuffing his hands into his pocket petulantly.

It was a genuine question, with no real answer.

As was the usual.

Of course, after switching clothes to his -stuffy!- school clothing, he began to make his trek towards his new and legal torture session.

And, as per the usual for him, another problem became immediately apparent to him when he neared the horrible institution.

Throughout the two months that he has been stuck in Japan, he has discovered a great many things that this world held secret. Especially from the unknowing human beings that casually lived their days in relative safe ignorance.

It was probably better for everyone that way, without any energy sources in their bodies, there was no real way of fighting back against other beings that did have such powers.

Yes. There were other beings that existed besides the humans, staying hidden from them as much as he was.

He discovered this fact completely by accident, mostly by accidentally entering zones where normal humans seemed to avoid unconsciously.

It probably had something to do with the barrier-like thing that they put into place when such fights began, of which he, in typical fashion, kept getting caught up in during his two month free roam.

He still had no idea how he managed to remain anonymous after the first few brawls he got caught up in...

He only knew of two groups so far; the people with the white wings and the people with black wings, which apparently hated one another.

After hearing their hateful and biting insults aimed at one another, he eventually learned what they were called; 'angels' and 'fallen angels' respectively.

Now, he didn't know why exactly they were fighting, but he was sure there was a reason.

Probably.

Nevertheless, the entire thing was bizarre, but at least it was good to know.

There would be no unhealthy surprises for Uzumaki Naruto, thank you very much!

Now, the problem with the school he was about to enter in, was the fact that the very area seemed to be teeming with foreign energy.

Foreign energy that he was not familiar with.

Basically, there were more than just regular humans in Kuoh Academy.

But he already enrolled by this point, and if he tried to back out now after he was already enlisted in the school roll, then he would without a doubt attract attention to himself.

Naruto clenched his fist, determination firing up his eyes as he made his decision while waiting to make his entrance.

Since he couldn't force a clone to take his classes, for the obvious reason that any damage it took would make it pop, he would just have to attend this school normally for a little bit and remain anonymous.

The blond's ear perked up slightly when he heard his new teacher call his name from behind the door he was leaning on, giving him flashbacks of all of the times that Iruka-sensei roared out his name in anger.

Ah...good times.

Now, Naruto, with his new academy uniform unbuttoned with an orange shirt under it, knocked onto the door to announce his entrance. Just like that book on Japanese etiquette told him to do.
