Lucifer stares at the boy who had just appeared in front of him in shock, something that the boy mirrors.

"Question." Lucifer says, finally speaking up after several seconds of stunned silence. "Where in the unholy hell did you come from?"

The boy panics. "I don't know!! I was in Konoha trying to use the summoning jutsu, then suddenly I'm here!!"

Lucifer blinks. "Summoning jutsu? Konoha?" He asks, thinking as to where he recognizes those from, before snapping his fingers in realization. "I get it! You're from the elemental nations! It's been a long time since I've met anyone from that world. After all, your afterlife isn't even remotely connected with here."

The boy tilts his head, clearly confused, before turning to look around, spotting a window, and climbing up into it to get as good a view outside as he can.

"WHERE THE HELL AM I!?!?" He yells, shocked, after seeing the sky.

Lucifer laughs. "Quite an ironic question!" He says amusedly.

The boy turns to him. "Why?"

Lucifer grins. "Kid, allow me to properly introduce myself. My name is Lucifer, the big boss of Hell himself."

The boy's jaw drops and, while he's processing that, Lucifer pulls out his phone.

——————————

Charlie groans as she sets her food down and slams her head into the table. Another day, another failure to convince anyone to join the hotel, whether as the first staff member aside from herself or as the first resident. Suddenly, her phone begins to ring, shocking her.

"Dad?" She asks, reading the name of the caller. "Why's he calling this time?"

With a sigh, she accepts the call.

"Yes?... Why?... Dad, I swear, if this is an attempt to get me together with someone again like with Seviathan... really?..." She glances at the untouched plate of food. "Okay, I'll be there in an hour. Bye." She ends the call, puts her food in the fridge, and leaves, heading to her father's home.

——————————

After Charlie hangs up, Lucifer puts his phone away and turns back to the boy. "So, what's your name?"

The boy grins excitedly. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki, future Hokage of Konoha! Believe it!" He freezes after shouting this. "Actually, I need to find a way to get back TO Konoha if I'm going to be Hokage, don't I?"

Lucifer chuckles before rubbing Naruto's head and ruffling his already-messy hair. "Don't worry about that, I can send you back to where you came from using a little magic. I'll do it after you meet my daughter and we sign a contract detailing the conditions in which you can summon me or any other demon in hell."

Naruto gasps. "You can use magic!? Cool!!" He exclaims, completely missing everything else Lucifer says. Then, before Lucifer can say anything else, Naruto glances around the room, narrowing in on the pile of rubber ducks that Lucifer has created, as well as the various other duck-themed objects around the room. "That's a lot of ducks." He says, mostly to himself. "It's cool, though, I love ducks! I like foxes more, but ducks are cool too!"

Lucifer laughs. "Finally! Someone who appreciates ducks like I do! I think we're going to get along just fine." He says, before realizing what Naruto said about foxes. "Though, if you really like foxes like you say you do, there's a certain demon that you'll LOVE if you ever meet." Then, Lucifer checks his watch, realizing how long it'll be until Charlie gets there. "For now, though, let's get to know each other, shall we?"

They then proceed to talk about random things that cross their minds for an hour. They find out next to nothing about each other, but they become fast friends regardless.

——————————

Charlie stares at the door, struggling to fight off the urge to reconsider meeting whoever it is that her father wants her to despite having already arrived.

Suddenly, before she can build up the will to knock, the door is opened from the inside by one of the many imps that Lucifer employs.

"Ah, Miss Charlie, it's a pleasure to see you again." The imp says, speaking in that posh tone that Lucifer had once ordered all of his servants to do as a joke. "May I enquire as to why you have graced us with your presence?"

Charlie sighs. "Dad called me and said that there was someone I needed to meet."

The imp's eyes widen in realization. "Oh! He must have been referring to his new friend that he's been holed up in his workshop with. Despite his young age, that boy is already being good for him. It's been ages since I heard him laugh like he has been for the past hour."

Charlie raises an eyebrow. 'New friend?' She thinks to herself, before speaking up. "You said they were in his workshop?"

The imp nods.

"Thanks." Charlie says, finally stepping inside and allowing the imp to close the door behind her, she then heads to where she knows that her father's current workshop is located, he had moved to it after one of his inventions blew up in his face and rendered the old one unusable.

——————————

"You should've seen the look on his face! It was hilarious!" Naruto says with a laugh, Lucifer laughing in kind.

"I bet!" Lucifer exclaims. "I wish I could've been there to see it!"

Suddenly, there's a knock on the workshop's door, causing Lucifer's eyes to widen.

"Oh! That must be Charlie!" He says excitedly, dashing over to the door and opening it with a grin. One that widens as he sees that it is, indeed, Charlie standing outside the door. In a flash, Lucifer pulls Charlie inside and closes the door before gesturing to Naruto. "Charlie, this is Naruto. Naruto, this is my daughter, Charlie!"
