DxD: The Fox and Demons

Naruto stared at the two of them for a moment, stuck in indecision.

If he wanted...he could just leave and pretend that this never happened, after, all they weren't his problem anyway, hell, he didn't even know if they were good people or not, so maybe helping them could be a bad thing?

He was supposed to lay low, so helping random people would just garner him attention from unnecessary people, and he has no guarantee that they were even worth the effort.

The smart thing to do here...was to turn away and pretend that he didn't see anything.

...Yeah, the smart thing.

...

Sighing, the blond swiftly took out a hidden kunai under his right sleeve, already knowing that he never was good at doing the 'smart thing'.

If things got rough for him for helping out others, then so be it.

Much rather that, than bear with the guilt of abandoned people in need to monsters.

Without making a sound, the shinobi charged in, intent on getting those girls out alive and unharmed.

The first of the monsters that took notice of the blond was an ugly half-human/half-fish monstrosity, which barely managed to notice him as it turned around, making an attempt at roaring out to grab the attention of the other beasts.

It was far too slow.

With eyes so sharp that it was unbefitting on the face of a teenaged boy, Naruto swiftly swung his fist at the stomach of the beast, knocking all of the air in the monster's body.

With that done, he quickly and efficiently stabbed his kunai through the monster's throat, ending it's life before it ever got the chance to warn it's comrades.

Unsurprisingly, the shinobi wasn't too concerned about mindless monsters, as he felt nothing but blood lust from them.

Not waste any time, he moved onto the next one; a man that had a pincer for a mouth and sharp claws for hands.

A combo that was pretty damn gross if you asked him, but hey, it wasn't about to matter in about a second, as the shinobi finally decided to announce his presence to ally and foe alike in a true Naruto-like fashion.

"I hope you bastards didn't try and start the party without me!?" Naruto shouted in exuberance as the bug-man quickly turned around, only to be met with steel for it's trouble, as the kunai dug deep into it's -probable- brain.

The bug-beast fell like a stone, with Naruto charging towards his next victim.

As soon as blond's declaration rang out, it stopped the fighting that was about to start anew for a split-second, long enough so that everyone there could acknowledge the newcomer in slight shock

That shock vanished for the monstrous creatures when they saw that two of their comrades were down, and who exactly was responsible.

Two monsters quickly flew into a frenzy and charged the blond, getting him to start a new round of clever -in his mind- quips, before he noticed that the third and final monster was about take advantage of the girls' momentary distraction.

"Oi, don't gawk at me! Look out!" Naruto shouted to them, breaking both of them out of their reverie.

In alarm at the incoming attacks, they both moved to dodge the final monster's assault, but the red-head was too slow, and was stabbed by one of the monster's sharp legs right through her shoulder.

"Mio-sama!" the little silver-haired girl cried out, charging forward to engage the final monster, her face twisting in worry. "Hang in there!"

Right at that moment, Naruto realized that, while holding back was important, this was not the time for doing so, as those two were now barely holding out.

So, with practiced ease, he dodged both the flying goblin's nose dive, and the standing pit bull's hard fist, before channeling wind chakra through his kunai...

In a blink, the shinobi moved to the side of both monsters, sliding, in order to line them both up for a shot.

Without hesitation, he threw the kunai at speeds neither of the beasts could react to, and cleanly pierced both the pit bull and flying goblin through their chests.

Both beasts fell in short order.

Though Naruto didn't actually see them fall, as he was already moving to back up the kid, confident enough in his skills to know that they were down.

As the blond ran towards the final monster, which was preoccupied with the scantily-dressed girl, he brought out the kunai hidden in his shirt's left sleeve and channeled wind chakra through it as well.

Ducked under the body of the strange hybrid of a spider and a woman, he sliced off each one of it's legs before the monster even realized what had happened.

When 'she' did however, it screamed out in pain and stumbled back on her stumps, giving the scantily-clad girl the opening that she needed.

The silverette then brought her small fist out and smashed her fist at the spider-woman's body, sending it through a tree, practically taking it down and killing the monster instantly.

And, just like that, the little battle was over.

Naruto wasn't focused on that however, as he moved to the red-headed girl which had received the stab wound, face tight with slight worry.

He wasn't a medic by any means, but thankfully, he did have a basic knowledge of some basics, thanks to being around Baa-chan and Sakura-chan.

Taking a cursory glance, he quickly figured that the wound wasn't bad, it was superficial.

Still, she was unconscious, though he doubted that it had much to do with the attack itself.

As he was checking her out, he quickly noticed the dark bags there were under her eyes, making his lips flatten.

The girl was exhausted.

If she was already at the brink before she actually got stabbed, then that could have probably made her collapse thanks to sudden the pain, shocking her system enough to knock her out cold.

In short, she needed rest, desperately.

While this was happening, the silverette cautiously moved to the blond man's side, anxiously waiting for whatever he had to say.

The two of them were in a bad spot, so while she didn't trust him completely, he did prove to, at least, want them alive. Something that she couldn't say that a lot of people wanted.

More than that, he helped them fight off a lot of stray devils when it would have been easier to just stay out of the whole affair altogether.

Plus, if she really thought about it, she doubted she could really do anything to stop him anyway, since the skills he used to take out the insane devils were outside of her abilities.

...Unless she used her trump card, but she wasn't willing to risk it with Mio-sama in such a state.

"The girl is fine, just tired, the wound ain't too serious either, so she will be alright as long as she gets some rest and cleans up the wound." Naruto finally spoke up with a small smile of reassurance.

The girl let out a sigh of relief at the news and nodded her thanks, moving to her young charge in order to pick her up with her strength.
