Five
Naruto felt for the warmth in his chest, finding none. It was missing. Instead, a creeping, icy chill settled in the center of where his heart was, indicating one of his Goddesses were missing.
Through his mind, he alerted two of his associates. TenTen and Ino, please accept my urgent summons and come here as quick as you can.
Not a few seconds later and the two Goddesses stood in front of him, faces filled with confusion and concern.
"[Name], our Goddess of healing and protection has been taken," he said. "I haven't told the others yet because everyone would be alarmed and frantic. I want the three of us as a small team to get her back."
Ino, a blonde-haired woman with captivating feminine features said, "But Naruto, I'm not fit for fighting. I'm only a Goddess of lust and love."
He bit back a chuckle as it was almost déjà vu with [Name]. "You and TenTen are complete opposites and are able to balance each other in case something happens." Like TenTen losing her head and wreaking havoc and destruction everywhere, Naruto thought.
"Okay. Who's the bitch that took her?" TenTen fiercely said.
Naruto gave her a look of exasperation. "Let's not curse in Heaven! How many times do I have to tell you that? But it was one of those bastard Uchiha demons."
She rolled her eyes, crossing her arms over her chest. "Bastard, really?"
Ino thought it best to say something before the two erupted in a side argument. "The both of you should be focusing on [Name]. You guys can argue about your love later."
"Love?! No way!"
"Heaven's, that's gross!"
"So Uchiha demon... they're a long generation of Incubi and Succubi, right Naruto?" Ino asked him, unfazed by their outbursts.
"Yeah."
"Where was she last headed to?"
"Earth, tracking down one of his latest conquests," Naruto bitterly said. "We'll start from there. Let's go." His voice brooked no arguments as his two members nodded their heads in assent.
If it's a war the demon wants, a war he will get.

Sasuke watched her tremble with fear when she realized her powers were defenseless against him. Her shield was unable to form fully around her and she sighed in defeat, climbing on the bed.
"Please let me go," she whispered.
The way his mate pleaded with him struck a painful chord in his heart. "Angel," he started.
"Not an Angel," she mumbled softly.
"Goddess, then. You're my mate and you're expected to stay by my side and pleasure me."
"Pleasure you?" Her face distorted to perplexity. "What do you mean? And I'm not a mate of a murderer, much less a demon!"
He had the sneaking suspicion she had not an idea about such activities and that made her more endearing to him. A sudden rush of blood went down to his groin and he fought with himself for control. A pang of agony went through him as he realized he needed to claim his mate but if he did so now, she would hate him forever, especially when she called him a murderer.
He grit his teeth. Foreign feelings were triumphantly sending him shocks of pain and distress as unbeknownst to him, she watched him struggle with himself.
"Are you okay?" she asked quietly, her eyebrows furrowed with a touch of concern.
I won't take her now, he decided. I'll persuade her to stay with me. Besides, her innocence... is mine regardless. He smirked at her and said, "Perfectly fine, now that you're here."
"Oh," she muttered. He saw the familiar, teasing red travelling to her cheeks and clenched his fists. He stood there, observing her from head to toe and liked her aura of purity and chastity.
"Why do you kill women after you... you do stuff with them?" she unprofessionally stumbled her words out, blushing.
Cute.
"Well little Angel," he drawled. He stepped closer to her so that he was standing on the edge of the bed. "Such is a way of life."
"I said I'm not an Angel!" she yelled. There's the feisty spirit I've been wanting to see. She visibly calmed after her short outburst and stared at him. "What do you mean by a way of life?"
"What do you think a Incubus is?" he countered.
"An incubus is a demon in male form who lies upon sleepers, especially women, in order to engage in sexual activity with them. Its female counterpart is the succubus. An incubus may pursue sexual relations with a woman in order to father a child[1]," she cited.
He barked out a laugh. "Did you memorize that from an... encyclopedia -if that's what humans call it-?" he sneered at her. Like he thought before, she was endearing and irresistible.
"It doesn't say anything about killing women, only reproducing with them," she simply said.
The demon resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "For the most part, they got it right," he finally said to her.
"Most part?" She tilted her head, her adorable charm having its unknown effect on him. She really didn't know how hard it was for him to stop himself from jumping her right at this very moment...
"We kill our prey after in order to devour their souls, our sustenance for living. Sexual activities is just a bonus."
"But then that makes no sense... what about the reproduction part?"
"When we find a woman worthy of us, a woman worthy to continue our line..." he trailed off, staring intensely at her.
"Mate," she squeaked, covering her hands from her obvious sign of embarrassment.
He nodded in approval although she couldn't see. "Yes. My mate," he rumbled. "Which is why I brought you here so we can get to know each other better."
"B-But how did this happen? We're complete opposites. I'm a Goddess and you're an evil demon," she rambled, unaware of the smirk that crossed his face.
"Yes, and opposites attract," he purred, placing a hand on bed as the mattress indented from his strength.
"Stay away from me!"
Another pang of hurt and rejection.
"Don't be like that, Angel-"
"For the last time I'm not an Angel!" she screamed at him, fury in her eyes. Realizing how she reacted, her eyes widened and looked properly chastened. "Sorry."
Sasuke sighed and sat on the bed and found himself studying her once again. He noticed she didn't move or flinch at all when he settled near her. Clearly, this approach wasn't working and would have to try another one. A humanly approach.
He held out his hand to her and said, "I'm Sasuke Uchiha, Prince of the Incubi and Succubi. Nice to meet you."
She shook his hand as his large one encompassed her small and dainty fingers. The corner of her lips quirked and replied, "I'm [Name], Goddess of healing and protection. Can't say it's nice but definitely strange."
