Occult Research Club
Walking back into the clubhouse, Zenkei was immediately bombarded with questions. "Now that we're somewhere more private I'll ask you again. What are you?" Rias demanded now with a stern look on her face. "Fine." Zenkei sighed revealing his yokai features once again. "I'm a Kitsune Yokai. But before you ask, no I'm not here to start trouble." Zenkei explained to the three girls and male he could only assume was Kiba. "Then why are you here?" Rias pushed, her face softening only slightly at hearing he wasn't a threat. "To try to live a normal life, that's all." Zenkei answered simply, trying not to draw the redhead's anger.
"Doesn't seem like it." The unidentified blonde next to Koneko jumped in. Turning to the blonde with a scowl, Zenkei questioned. "And just who the fuck are you, pretty boy?" Meeting his glare, the blonde responded. "My name is Kiba Yuuto, though I don't see how it is any of your concern." This struck a nerve with Zenkei, feeling as though the blonde was being a bit to hostile for his liking. "Well Kiba, I don't see why you chose to butt into Rias and I's conversation. Seeing as this doesn't involve you in the slightest." Zenkei snapped at the blonde, before feeling a flare of chaotic aura across the room. "THAT IS QUITE ENOUGH FROM BOTH OF YOU!" Rias barked at the two, her patience reaching its limit. "Now Zenkei, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you were not aware. But this town is devil territory under my family's control and you can't just walk around doing as you please." Rias informed the teen who just shrugged off the glare he was receiving from the blonde. "And seeing that it is my territory. That gives Yuuto, as my servant, the right to question you after you almost destroyed a whole city block." Rias continued now having Zenkei's attention. "He attacked first, I was simply defending myself." Zenkei retorted, trying to defend himself. "That isn't the point Zenkei, people could have been hurt." Akeno stepped in seeing the tension rising in the room. "SO WHAT THE HELL WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO? LAY DOWN AND DIE?" Zenkei exploded finally having enough of being blamed for everything, his eyes once again shining brilliantly. "No one said that Zenkei relax, all we're saying is you should be more careful or-" Akeno began before being cutoff by the seething kitsune. "OR WHAT?! LITTLE MISS PERFECTS BIG BROTHER SIRZECHS IS GOING TO COME LOOKING FOR ME?!" Zenkei challenged, his tail waving haphazardly behind him. This shocked everyone in the room seeing how Rias never told him who her brother was. "How do you know he is my brother?" Rias questioned becoming curious about what the teen knew. "I met him. He's the one who allowed me to move into your territory princess." Zenkei informed with a grin after calming down, seeing the varying looks of shock across the room. "H-How do you know my brother?" Rias stuttered, shocked the teen knew so much but she was in the dark about him. "Why don't you go question him about that princess, it's late therefore I will see you tomorrow. Oh and also I'd appreciate it if you didn't have your nekomata follow me home." Zenkei said standing up, shocking Rias once again. "See ya tomorrow Akeno." He said winking at the girl before teleporting out in a small burst of blue fire, leaving everyone questioning exactly who it was they just encountered. "I'll be back. I have to go talk to my brother about what just happened." Rias said breaking the silence in the clubroom.
The Next Day
Walking into class the day Zenkei immediately felt a pair of eyes on him, knowing who they belonged to he took his seat before asking the redhead next to him. "Do I have something on my face or do you just like what you see?" He asked the girl with his usual smirk. "I-I just wanted to apologize for yesterday. I talked to my brother and he verified everything you said." Rias replied with a light pink tint to her cheeks. "Not a problem, I suppose I lost my temper a bit as well." He waved off her apology before continuing. "But this isn't the time or place for us to discuss this seeing as we both attract a lot of attention as is." Rias just nodded in agreement before responding. "I agree, maybe we should continue this conversation after school?" Zenkei agreed with this, knowing that there was still more to discuss. "Hey, where's Akeno?" He questioned noticing the absence of the other devil. "She's out investigating the fallen angel that attacked you. I just wanted to make sure it was an isolated event and not something bigger." Rias whispered to him quietly so the other students wouldn't hear her. "You sure it's a good idea for her to be doing that alone?" Zenkei questioned worried things could go wrong. "No need to worry. She's stronger than she looks." She assured the teen, putting his worries to rest.
Everything was rather uneventful for the rest of the day except for at lunch when a member of the Perverted Trio, he later learned that it was Issei Hyouduo, ran into Zenkei causing the teen to fall face first into the giant mounds known as Rias's breasts. "Shit my bad man!" The brunette said not slowing down for a second. "You ok Rias?" Zenkei asked pulling his face from her chest to see her face the same shade of red as her hair. "F-Fine." Rias answered extremely embarrassed by how calm Zenkei was about what just happened. "Random question, did you feel that too?" Zenkei asked watching the boy running from the kendo club. "I'm not sure what you mean." Rias asked still dazed from Zenkei's landing. "I don't know how to explain it but I felt some kind of power hidden in that kid." Zenkei elaborated. "Oh yeah that, come with me. I know someone who may be able to shine light on that." Rias said before walking in the direction of the student council's office.
Rias knocked on the door receiving a faint enter from the other side. "Ahh Rias, who is this you've brought with you?" Greeted a young woman with black hair styled in a short bob, and a pair of glasses. "Hi Sona, this is Zenkei Okami." Rias introduced him. "Hello Zenkei." Sona greeted reaching her hand out before introducing herself. "I am Souna Shitori, I'm the-" She was interrupted by Rias who simply stated "Sona, he knows." This caused no noticeable difference in the girls reaction as she introduced herself using her real name. "Ah I see. Zenkei, my name is Sona Sitri. Heiress to the Sitri clan." Sona corrected herself before turning to the girl behind her. "This is Tsubaki Shinra, my queen." She stated before turning to the only other male in the room. "And this is Saji Genshirou, one of my pawns." Sona finished. "Sup!" Saji greeted, brushing his blonde hair out of his eyes. "See he's cool, why can't the other blonde be like him?" Zenkei whined to Rias, obviously talking about her Kiba. "Yuuto is cool." Rias said defending her knight. "You two just got off on the wrong foot." She continued. "Yeah I know somewhere I'd like to put my foot." Mumbled Zenkei, receiving an elbow to the ribs from Rias in return. "Ok, Ok. I'll play nice." He huffed. "Anyway Rias," Sona coughed. "Is Zenkei here a new addition to your peerage?" Sona questioned curious as to how he knew they were devils. "Sadly no, actually Zenkei is a Yokai." Rias informed the raven-haired teen. "Oh?" Sona asked her curiosity peeked. "If you don't mind me asking what kind are you?" She asked Zenkei. "Not at all, I'm a Kitsune Yokai." He answered, showing his ears and tail just for emphasis.
"Oh i see. I'm sure Rias has already informed you to be on your best behavior then?" Sona inquired causing the aforementioned redhead to scoff at her. "If you must know, I informed him though that shouldn't be any of you concern seeing as this is my territory." Rias challenged her childhood friend. "Anyways..." Sona continued ignoring Rias's last statement. "... I'm sure you're both here for a reason, if I may inquire why?" The Sitri heiress asked. "Yes, I was wondering what you know about Issei Hyouduo." Rias asked causing Tsubaki to pass Sona a file on the brunette with a look of disgust on her face. "Let's see..." Sona said opening the file. "He is a third-year high school student in Class 3-B and a member of the school's "Perverted Trio." Sona informed the redhead. "Holy shit, is he really that perverted?" Zenkei question not knowing the boy well enough to know this fact. "Worse." Saji replied shaking his head in disappointment. "We used to hangout until he started ditching me to peep on the kendo club with baldy and goggles." Saji continued refering to the other two members of the trio. "Ahahaha, this is what happens when you let virgins loose in a school full of girls." Zenkei laughed at the blonde's description of the perverted group. "If that is all I have some advice Rias." Sona began. "If you are looking for a new member maybe look in front of you before you drop a tier." The council leader advised. "If only it were that simple." Rias mused to herself as she and Zenkei walked back to class.
After school
Entering the club house again Zenkei greeted everyone inside before walking over to a certain blonde sitting next to Koneko. Seeing the teen approaching him, Kiba immediately stood up meeting the yokai's stare. "Hey man," Zenkei began once he was close enough for the two to talk. "I just want to say sorry for how I acted yesterday, taunting you was unnecessary at that time seeing as how you just wanted to make sure you king was safe." Zenkei apologized, shocking the knight who expected a fight. "Understandable, I know what it's like to lose your temper. Especially after being randomly attacked." Kiba responded, lowering his guard. "Speaking of which," Akeno interrupted the two. "Zenkei, I found the fallen angel who attacked you. Problem is he isn't working alone so Rias and I agreed it would be best for you to have an escort home until we figure out what they are planning... " She finished before looking at Rias. "... And considering we all have contracts to make we decided it should be me since I'm the least busy." Rias quickly stated turning a slight shade of pink at the idea of going home with Zenkei. "Umm ok, but did you guys forget I could do this?" He asked before disappearing in a puff of blue flames, causing Rias to look disappointed. "Aww don't look so sad, of course you can come home with me." Zenkei whispered in her ear from behind her making her fall out of her chair, face crimson red at being caught. "I-I'm not sad, I just want to make sure you are safe. As a friend I care about you." Rias replied, her face still burning a bright red. "Of course you do princess." Zenkei said smugly, helping her back to her feet.

Author's Note:
Ok Chapter 2 done, that took honestly less time than I thought it would considering how scatter-brained I am with most things. Also taking into mind I've never done anything like this before I probably don't have a proper understanding of how much time these should take but anyway... Next chapter should be done in about the next two or three days since the weekend is over and I have to go to school. But don't forget to Favorite, Follow, and Review
