Matsuda and Motohama frowned collectively when their only companion in all of Kuoh Academy froze if he had seen a ghost. Then he excused himself from the conversation, a bit too politely and with a small amount of extreme fear creeping in to his voice they noted, and literally dashed towards the door, the sounds of his shoes screeching echoing across the immediate area. Although a small amount of interest in what could have caused the youth most of the school's population was adding to their group to just run away like a little girl entered their minds for just a moment, their perverted instincts took over and they continued their discussion like nothing had happened. A few minutes later, the door opened and the smiling face of a rather beautiful young girl that bore more than a passing resemblance to the chestnut-haired 'beast', peered at the class with some amount of suspicion.

"A..ano..." a cute blush appeared on her round face as she scanned the faces of the class. "Have you seen a young man named Issei Hyoudou? He's supposed to be attending this class..."eyebrows were raised as this situation was getting very unusual. The Breast Emperor actually getting a girl? Was this a joke?

"That's impossible..."

"How did a bastard like him pick up such a sweet girl? Did he sweet talk her or what?"

"Remind me if I'm dreaming..."

The girl stopped talking and tilted her head in confusion as the whispers continued. Many of the class members decided to shut up and keep their thoughts to themselves as they didn't want to insult this raven-haired maiden, who obviously seemed to be from a high class family due to her refined way of speaking and delicate conduct, however the discussion raged on wherever it could be hidden. The Perverted Duo right now had worked what little brain-power they had into an epiphany: How was their best friend, who had been proudly marked as a member of their group by the uncaring social elite of Kuoh, able to pick up a girlfriend? And a stunning moe with the features of a yamato nadeshiko , to be more exact? This was impossible in their eyes.

What kind of sorcery was this that made Issei Hyoudou so lucky?

The class was so abuzz with activity that it almost missed what the girl said so innocently before leaving. "Please tell Hyoudou-kun that Akiko-chan is going to be attending his school soon, and that he should make sure that he remains faithful. Goodbye!" She flashed a broad smile which revealed perfectly white teeth, before skipping out the door just as a figure wearing a grey hoodie over school uniform stepped in, obviously bored. The figure flashed his head from side to side, blue eyes observing the class in confusion before finding his seat and plopping down in it, one foot planted on the desk. Everybody's eyes turned to the arrival, whispers once again increasing.

"Man that was too easy. Goddamn redhead cougar and her blonde bitch sidekick, trying to get me into one of their high-class clubs, claiming I'm 'socially disadvantaged'. Try living as a normal guy without one of these goddamn 'quirks'. Lucky thing I know a trick or two, how do you think brothers make a living in this part of the world? Kuso, I'm not even really..you know,"

A soft squeak caused the boy to quickly remove his foot, standing at attention before everyone else, then gasping as the voltupus form of Arashi Nikado aka Rias Gremory emerged through the door. "Good afternoon class. Have you seen..." He was shaking in fear as the scarlet haired beauty's uncovered blue eye observed him carefully before she shook her head in confusion. There was a slight stirr as Issei stumbled into class, the shrieks of some females hot on his heels behind him as he closed the door. "Excuse me Ria...no Arashi-sensei, I just went to deal with something," Nobody really paid it much attention but the slacker noticed a certain look in Arashi's eyes when she noticed him, it seemed like even the pervs had something up their ass these days.

"What was the name of the prime suspect in the Shibuya case again?"

The detective shook his head as he glanced at the brutally rendered mess that had once been a human being. Calling this a murder would make no sense, that would at least indicate some level of humanity on the part of the killer. This was a brutal slaying and he was determined to get to the bottom of it.

The aide from the LAPD, a pretty brunette with her Caucasian ancestry showing up in some of the right places frowned and said in perfect Japanese, albeit with a 'American' taint in her voice, "The murderer, a 27 year old nurse named Shino Hazuki who commited the killings on behalf of the Church of Natural Divine Light commited suicide when her actions were somehow exposed on the telescreen during the earthquake..however the prime suspect before that was a high school student erroneously listed as Takumi Nishijou on his school file. Takumi was cleared on the killings when Hazuki was outed as the killer, but the case has never been solved,"

"Goddamn it, I came in from the Home Islands expecting a walkover and now I get this," the detective said, tiredness showing in his voice. "Find Nishijo's real name and put a warrant out on him. We need him for questioning.,"

As the law carefully investigated the scene to determine the motive for the killing and possibly the identity of the killer, nobody noticed a well-endowed woman with silver hair observing from the safety of distance. "So it seems like the evil remains despite the defeat of the King," she said softly, recalling that day when her husband had finally gained the confidence to stand up for himself and took down Gladiel with his own power. "Be careful Taku-kun. Don't be stupid and remember, I'll be waiting for you,"

The woman's eyes turned to the detective and her partner, observing them carefully before she vanished in a flash of white light.
