Naruto was honestly fine with that, he just hoped that she calmed down a little since then. Dealing with her when the fallen angel issue seemed to be becoming more dangerous wasn't too smart. So the second he entered the house, he moved to get to his super-comfy bed and go to sleep. He had a feeling he had a long day tomorrow, best not face it when he was exhausted.
But before he went to bed, he had to deal with something that he had been putting off for a little bit.
When he reached his room, he went towards his old ninja gear in order to get some old and familiar clothes that have been pretty much destroyed over time. His trusty and stylish clothes while he was a shinobi in the Elemental Nations.
His old orange tracksuit and forehead protector.
The tracksuit was pretty much ruined beyond repair due to his constant usage of the sturdy clothes. He also doubted anyone would help him fix it while he was in this world, so the best he could hope for was to create something in its likeness. He seriously hoped that he could get those new clothes made by the time he got back to the Elemental Nations. As a stylish guy, he just couldn't stand walking around with anything but his usual threads!
Admittedly, this world had some pretty cool stuff too. So he had wanted to modify it a little bit to fit, only problem was he needed someone to help him make such an outfit.
Naruto decided to focus on his clothing problem for later, for now he wanted to get his weapons pouch prepped. He had no idea what to expect from these fallen angel rebels as a group, so he wanted to have it ready in case he needed to run back here and grab them in short notice. He tended to never actually take it with him since a pouch filled with dangerous weapons would be pretty eye-catching if anyone managed to grab it while he wasn't looking.
Happened once, he didn't fancy knocking out random people for something like that.
After making sure all was prepped for an emergency snatch-and-grab, he finally decided to hit the hay. Hopefully tomorrow would be a safe day where he can scout the fallen before planning any kind of assault.
Raynare was looking down on the ceremony which her mother had prepped, she decided that it was fitting all things considered.
She was sitting on a ledge near the ceiling of the large underground 'room'. She was watching as her mother gave orders left and right to exiled priests as well as other fallen angels. The amount of fallen angels here was actually kind of surprising for the young woman.
When her mother first started this operation, she only had a handful of fallen join her. But as time went on, it seemed that numerous other fallen angels have joined in for their own reasons and motivations. Some wanted to see if such a 'transplant' could be accomplished on a pure fallen angel, others were thrill seekers who were riding high on staying in devil territory...but some...
She couldn't help but notice that some fallen angels were here to intentionally start a war with the devils that control this territory.
She wasn't one of those peace advocates among the fallen angels, but she certainly wasn't one that would intentionally start a war. At the moment, Raynare couldn't help but silently hope that her mother knew what she was doing by having these fallen join her ranks.
Her musings ended when she noticed a blue-haired fallen angel descend the stairs with a certain blond nun in tow, she ignored how downtrodden the nun appeared in favor of greeting her friend.
"Kalawarner-nee, I see you have accomplished your mission. No troubles I presume?" Raynare asked on her elevated position, Kalawarner looked up in order to respond to her former charge's question.
"I wouldn't say no trouble at all...but very little, it seemed that our nun here had managed to get a friend in her short time here. Isn't that right little Asia?" Kalawarner asked without much sympathy. The nun said nothing in response, which caused Kalawarner to just sigh and turn back to the younger fallen angel.
"Apologies for her attitude Raynare-sama...she's just upset that I recently hurt her friend. A human boy was trying to stop me from extracting her, but he was just a normal human. So you had nothing to worry about." the blue-haired fallen stated. She was a little tempted to kill the boy actually, but she refrained on the grounds that a random human death at this time could draw attention to Vretiel-sama's ritual...especially since she didn't want to attract the attention of the second powerful human. Besides, just because one human happened to be strong enough to beat her, it didn't mean that she should kill every human in sight from now on.
The incident was an aberration, a strange occurrence when compared to her life-time's worth of interacting with humans. Likely not to happen again.
"Ha ha ha! Looks like you've gotten a bit more paranoid Kalawarner-chan!" a feminine voice called out to the faux business woman. Kalawarner sighed while Raynare groaned as Mittelt joined the conversation. Raynare glanced to the side to see a blonde girl wearing a gothic lolita dress glide down on her single pair of wings. She gave Kalawarner a toothy grin, much to the physically older woman's annoyance.
"Just because there was one human that beat the crap out of you, doesn't mean that all of them can now you know?" Mittelt said with a mocking smile, which only caused a sporadic twitch to appear on Kalawarner's face much to Raynare's amusement. Kalawarner-nee and Mittelt-chan have always been like this, trying to one-up one another with Dohnaseek-sensei being the one who broke them up.
How long could something like this last she wondered? The ceremony was going to begin tomorrow at mid-day, but this felt like one of those 'important' moments that she read about in her history classes. Would there be a before and after that points to this day as something special? She didn't know. All she knew was that she couldn't...no...wouldn't fail her mother.
Raynare opened her mouth to speak before she was interrupted by a voice that she didn't recognize.
"...Why?"
All speaking between the small fallen group ceased when the human spoke when no one expected her to.
"...How can all of you know what it's like to have such happiness with your friends...how can you cherish those bonds...when you don't care that you destroy the bonds of others...?" the nun asked softly, she didn't understand these people. They were cruel to their enemies yet they were friendly with one another...how could they have such double-standards? Didn't the Bible say to 'do unto others what as you would have them do unto you'? Yet these people...
