Sorry this is taking so long. I started writing other fanfics where my plot bunnies are being born. I had to split this chapter since I wasn't happy with one half of it. This one, I considered to be decent enough to play. Please Read and Review, and I'll try to get the next one out soon.

Turnabout Playdate

"Now Rite," Dad started, "Do you remember what I told you?"

'Considering you told me literally a hundred times,' I thought to myself, 'How could I forget?'

To be fair to the old man, I was having trouble following his instructions. No matter how hard I concentrate, I just can't get myself to shoot fire, or blow a gust of wind. He shook his head and said, "That's enough training for the day…"

…Okay, I think you people need some context.

Remember when I once said that I was now a member of a high ranking devil family? Well it turns out that each family has their own special ability. And my family powers are based around; you guessed it, the phoenix.

So in short, we are able to manipulate both wind and fire like, as I said before, the phoenix. Problem? I SUCK at it!

My mom tried to comfort me, saying that I was only seven. But considering that Ruval and Riser could easily start a forest fire at age five, and I think Raval is already capable of making a flamethrower, it was a false reassurance.

Come on! My name used to be Phoenix Wright! I should be able to use the power of my former namesake! But alas: poof.

But there was one aspect of being a phoenix that I was good at. The aspect that gave dad hopes that one day I might master my full power. And that was the regeneration aspect.

It turns out I'm really, really good at regenerating myself. Every cut, bruise, and broken bone…gone in an instant. Mom didn't like us training that particular aspect since it usually involves self-harm, but it has to be done if one wishes to complete their training.

Kinda reminds me of Kurain and having to meditate on a block of ice under a waterfall.

While the regeneration powers are something that the Phenex family is inherently able to do, how quick it takes effect is why we train it. Usually a broken limb takes a few minutes to heal, with training; it turns into a few seconds.

Ruval, Riser, and dad all told me that it took them a few years to achieve instant regeneration. I managed to accomplish it within my first week. One time a member of my dad's peerage accidentally cut my arm off. I managed to reattach it almost immediately.

Of course he bribed me into not telling dad, I'm not sure if I should have accepted, but hey fifty bucks is fifty bucks...or whatever you called the devils equivalent.

There was also another ritual of my family that I was good at. And that was creating the Phoenix tears…and no! Not the tears I cried in my past life! I sweated a lot, not cry…

Moving on, the Phoenix tears are a very valuable resource that my family sells. It's why we're so freaking rich. The phoenix tears are some of the most powerful healing potions in the world. They are even capable of reattaching lose limbs. Guess we know where JK Rowling got the ideas for this.

Dad showed us how to commence the ritual. It involves taking a magic circle inscribed the floor, taking a cup of water, and crying a single tear into it. Then BAM! Surgeon-in-a-bottle.

Don't ask me why I'm good at it. I just am. My main method is to sweat through my eyes, and if there's one thing people know about me, or used to know about me, I sweat a lot.

So when it comes to combat, I'm having trouble with my powers. But when it comes to healing, I'm first rate at it apparently. Guess I was always born to defend then. It wasn't until a particular incident did I managed to use my offensive powers for the first time…

"A play date?" I asked in confusion, "With who?"

I was currently in my family's transportation room. With me dad who was wearing his trademark suit and unfortunately 'that' smile. It was the smile that dad has whenever he has something planned. I and my siblings always know we have to prepare for anything when he has the 'smile'.

"The child of an acquaintance of mine," dad cheerfully answered, "You have met Lord Gremory correct?"

'Oh yeah,' I thought to myself, 'That guy with the really red hair. Uh, It reminds me too much of Dahlia…'

"The red-head?"

"Correct! I have a business meeting with him, and he has a child about your age. His child has trouble making friends so I wanted to know if you would like to help them out".

I rubbed the back of my spiky hair, "I don't see why not dad. I don't have any close friends myself to be honest…"

'Well there's Kurain village, but that's a different thing'.

Lord Phenex clapped his hand, "Then that's settled! Come into the circle Rite, we will depart immediately".

Devils have the ability to transport themselves. But we could only transport to these special magical circles located around Hell and some parts of earth. You have to train if you want to transport wherever you want.

Let me just say that teleportation was…surprisingly not that bad. I expected vertigo, or feeling my entire body being dematerialized piece by piece, but no. A flash of light, and we were standing in a new room.

Well to be more accurate, were standing outside a giant manor. It looked to be about the same size as ours, so I can guess that the family who lives there is just about as rich as we were. Hope they aren't the rich snobby type. Course the normal size for us is probably who knows how many acres long.

A man with long red hair and goatee, prim and proper of course, walked out of the manor. Wearing a pure white suit and he was waving. His smile definitely painted him as the easy going type.

Next to him was a beautiful women with long brown hair, blue eyes, and, ahem, large breasts. She was wearing a brown dress that was both simple in appearance, and probably expensive in material.

They were the head of the Gremory family, one of the other thirty four pillars. Well more like two. They were the combination of two family lines, the Gremory and the Bael. I can't remember their specific powers, all I know is that any offspring they produce would be powerful as hell…if I'm a devil, should I say powerful as heaven? God-OUCH! - I mean Maou, all my old phrases have to be changed now. This will take some getting used to.

Lord Gremory held his hand out and dad shook their palms, "Phenex, how nice to see you. How long has it been?"

"We saw each other literally yesterday".

"I know. Its just common courtesy. Where is your wife?"

"She's currently with Ruval and negotiating business deals with some of our investors." Dad answered nonchalantly.

One thing you should know about mom: She may be an attentive mother and loyal wife, but she is a very scary businesswomen. Ruval once told me that it was because of her that he knew the trick of the trade, and why we're able to afford literally a hundred manors.

My sympathies for the poor investors if mom has to help them "negotiate".

Lady Gremory turned to me and smiled. I flushed a little (Again; thirty four year old man, or is it forty one now? Pretty lady.) Thankfully it tends to be mistaken for shyness.

"So this is little Rite," Lady Bael noted with a chuckle, "I certainly didn't expect him to have dark hair".

'That's what you comment on?' I noted in disbelief. Usually the thing people notice first is the spikes. Maou, those kids from Pre School were mean.

I'm the only dark haired member of my family, and I heard that there were rumors that mom was…unfaithful. Anyone who said that in dads near vicinity instantly gets a fire ball to the face. Though the fact that I could regenerate, somewhat manipulate fire and wind, and have a single blonde streak in my hair, the rumors have mostly died out.

In any case the fact that my spikes carried over to this life was still confusing to me. Were they really such an integral part of my identity that they transcended lifetimes? Well Dahlia's flaming red hair was an integral part of her. So I guess if your hair is important, it carries on. If Maya was here, she would probably say yes.

Dad shrugged, "We probably have a few dark haired relatives in our lineage. He has all the ability of the Phenex family so he's definitely a member."

"So how is his training going?"

"In terms of combat? We still having trouble for him to produce a single spark," dad admitted with an embarrassed look. Sorry for not being a natural pyromaniac old man. He then brightened up, "But he mastered regeneration in record time. And could complete the Tear Ritual within the first month of learning it".

Gremory's eyes widened in shock, "Impressive. If I recall it took you an entire century for you to properly make phoenix tears at a consistent rate".

Dad started to sweat as Lady Gremory giggled, heck I joined in as well. Though I was probably trying to ignore the fact that all the adults here, who look like they're in their twenties, may have lived a millennium or two.

"They didn't need to know that…" Dad grumbled in response. I took mercy on the old man and asked, "So…I'm here on a play date?"

Was it just me or did Lord Gremory's eyes twitched a little? And why did his wife covered her mouth as if trying to suppress a giggle? I have a bad feeling about this.

"So you are," Gremory answered with a frown, "Rias, the Phenex's are here".

Peeking out of the door was a girl who looked to be about my age. That or physically my age, it's hard to tell with devils. She had bright blue eyes. And her long red scarlet hair painted her as a Gremory. Her skin was pale as snow, and she was looking at me with a suspicious expression. She was wearing simple red blouse and black skirt. She looked innocent enough, but one can't really tell with a devil.

"I thought Sona-chan was coming…" Rias pouted. Really feeling the love here.

"Rias!" her mother scolded, "Don't be rude to any guests."

"I think she should be rude to him," Gremory grumbled, "It might turn him off." He got a pinch on the cheeks and an irritated look from his wife.

'Turn me off?' I repeated, 'Why do I have this horrible feeling that I'm missing some context?'

Rias walked up me and dad and bowed, "Hello, my name is Gremory, Rias."

Wait did she say that in Japanese?

Devils have the ability to understand any known language in the world. Well the language I started learning was the devil language. I won't go into too many details, but our natural tongue made it easy to learn. And we can purposely change our tongue to speak any language we desire.

I raised a brow, "Uh…hi, my name is Phenex, Rite." I felt like sobbing a little when I realized what joke I made.

Dad turned to Gremory, "Any reasons why she is speaking Japanese?"

Gremory rubbed the back of his head, "She's a japanophile. Or as the Japanese would call her, a massive otaku. She has a complete fascination and/or obsession with Japanese culture".

Rias pouted, and looked downright adorable might I add, and argued "It's not an obsession!"

"Steel Samurai episode three summary?"

Rias's eyes brightened up, "Oh that was the one where the Steel Samurai and Evil Magistrate…"

HOLD IT!

"What?" Rias asked in annoyance. I felt myself sweating in confusion.

"Steel Samurai," I carefully pronounced the word, making sure I didn't make an error, "As in the protector of Neo Olde Tokyo?"

Rias suddenly gained a big smile on her face, "You know the show too?"

"Well yeah, but…" but before I could finish she took my hand. She grinned at me as she started dragging me away by the hand, "I'll show you my complete collection Rite-Kun!"

"Wait! You don't have to drag me away. POPS! A little help?"

"Have fun Rite".

"You're no help!"

Venelana Gremory nee Bael smiled as she saw her daughter drag away the unfortunate boy. She was still pinching the cheeks of her growling husband. She turned to him and said, "Well it's your fault for agreeing to the engagement in the first place".

Gremory freed himself from his wife's finger and rubbed his aching cheeks, "That was because I was hoping that Rias would hate his guts".

"If it was Riser? Probably," Phenex interrupted with his 'smile', "But Rite has proven multiple times to be the type of boy who girls take to meet their parents".

"Well I like him," Venelana said, "And he seemed to keep up with what Rias was saying pretty well".

"Rite was always rather mature for his young age," Phenex admitted, " And he does learn at a fast rate. Ruval mocked Riser multiple times over the fact that Rite managed to learn how to read, write, tie his shoes, etc. Within the first few moments of learning them. Who knows, he might even make an ideal son-in-law".

Gremory's eyes started to twitch, "We don't know that for sure. For all we know Rias would protest the wedding itself!"

Phenex shrugged, "Oh well. Guess we're going to have to wait and see. And considering how you're reacting, it makes me wonder how Sirzechs would react…"

Venelena blanched, "Dear, we must make sure that Sirzechs knows as little about this as possible".

Gremory nervously chuckled. Venelana growled, feeling a twitch coming to her eye, "Dear…!"

"I-I may have already told him about the engagement…"

Why must the men of her life be so protective over her daughter?

The freaking Steel Samurai!? That's also here!? Okay, I thought the point of reincarnation was to receive a new life. All away from the monuments on one's past. Why do I keep finding that my old life is creeping into my new one?

This girl, Rias Gremory, has definitely proved that she was a genuine japanophile. Figurines and posters of various animes, a bunch of Japanese novels and manga, rows of DVDs, and her flat screen TV set was playing, you guessed it, the Steel Samurai. That's not even going into the Japanese artifacts like the bonsai tree or the decorate fans. I found myself sweating in surprise as she guided me through her room. The only non-Japanese related object was the chess set in the corner.

She turned to me and grinned, "So what do you think?"

"Impressive collection," I quickly answered while rubbing my hair. Though I was being truthful, it was impressive finding this stuff. Not paying for it of course. Considering how long it took to get to her room from the entrance, I could see finance was not an issue I this household.

Then again that would be the pot calling the kettle black.

Rias finally noticed my hair and her eyes started to sparkle, "Your hair! What anime did you style it after?"

'How did you not notice while you were dragging me?' I wondered. "I was born with this hair".

"You were born with anime hair? That's so cool!"

'It's kinda cool at first,' I deadpanned, 'then comes the endless mockery of poor porcupine head'.

Rias pouted and touched her mane of red hair, "I wish I would have cool anime hair".

"Your hair is very red," I reasoned, "That's very…anime".

"So is the hair of my otou-sama and nii-san! None of your siblings have your hair!" Rias protested.

'Well this is definitely a first.' I noted, 'For the first time, someone is jealous of my hair and not amused, or weirded out. It's quite an enlightening experience for me…'

"Do you have a peerage yet?"

"No," I admitted, "Dad says I'm too young to receive a peerage".

Rias nodded in agreement, "Me too. It's not fair! I already completed my necessary training!"

"I-I see," I answered, feeling very inadequate. "What can you even do?"

"Oh the power of destruction of course".

"Excuse me?"

"It's my family's power," Rias proudly revealed, "To create destruction in its purest form. Want to see?"

So my play date was the terminator in a little girl's body? I had to disagree without getting her mad, "Sorry, no please".

"C'mon!"

"Maybe later?" suggesting more to myself then her. I turned to the TV and saw hope, "Look! A new episode is airing!"

Rias immediately turned to the TV and cheered, "Oh…is it the episode where we learn if the Diamond Samurai is the Steel Samurai's father or not? C'mon lets watch!"

Anything to prevent seeing literal destruction and I'm good.

After a surprisingly well written episode, that would probably satisfy any hardcore fan of the series (seriously to think that the Steel Samurai's trainer knew all along who the parent of his protege was and it took him an entire season to tell him?...Why do I feel like someone is probably coughing 'hypocrite'?). Rias then grinned, "So want to see it in action?"

I couldn't avoid the inevitable, "Let her rip".

"Let me take you to my families training room!" and once again, she dragged me by the arm.

The training room reminded me somewhat of the one in the Phenex manor. There were targets located around the areas, a few training dummies, and a large banner that has the Gremory family insignia on it. It was about the size of a large gymnasium. Idly I wonder if Athena would take a run around the area. That's certainly something she might do.

The Gremory heiress immediately took for some control panels that I will probably never understand in either of my lifetimes, and started pressing some buttons. The red and white targets started to appear around the room. Each located at a particular distance.

Rias turned to me and said, "Watch this!" and from her hand, a red circle appeared. Out of the circle a beam of black bullets erupted from the circle. The bullets connected to all the targets in the areas, and they all disintegrated.

I involuntary gulped. If I do ever get my own peerage, I might have to face her battle one day…oh maybe getting my peerage isn't as great as it sound. Sure I can regenerate, but dear Maou, won't it hurt!

"Okay, it's your turn,"

"It's my what now?"

"Otou-sama told me that the Phenex family could control fire," Rias eagerly explained, "I want to see it up front!"

'How should I break it to the poor girl?' because, as I said before, I was not good at the offensive portion of my powers. Then I came to an idea, 'Alright Rite, do what you do best. And that is to bluff like you never bluffed before!'

"To be honest…" I wondered off, trying to think of something to say, "I can only do it one target at a time."

Rias pouted again, "And not multiple targets as once?"

I found myself sweating again, "I control freaking fire! The multiple targets come whenever we want it to or not".

Rias thought about it, and then nodded. She turned to her computer and made another adjustment. This time the targets all correlated into one big target. One would have to try to not miss it. It was smack dabbed in the middle of the area.

Rias turned to me and explained, "This target is to see how much power you can fire in one blast. The other was to see how much targets you can hit at the same time".

"I-I see…"

Oh well, I got myself into this mess, might as well have to face the consequence. I turned to the giant target, and thought back to the advice dad gave me.

"Do I have to repeat myself?" dad growled as I failed to cause even a spark of fire.

"You already said it fifty times," I bluntly pointed out, too tired to watch what I was saying.

Dad sighed and explained again, "You have to focus! Think of something that causes you to be cold."

"Cold? But this is fire!"

"In your vein! Think of something that makes you focused, and will put all your concentration into!"

'Think Phoenix. When am I at my most focused? When I feel the most coldness in my veins?'

When I catch a murderer. While I still react to anything else, when I know someone's a killer, I do anything I can to catch them, and as calmly as possible.

I turned to the target, which was red and white. The two colors reminded me of one of the first murderers I ever caught. The one who killed my mentor. The one who tried to have me and Maya take the blame for it.

I remembered when I revealed the final contradiction, and I knew I got the man. I pretended that the target was his alibi and my powers were the final decisive piece of evidence.

TAKE THAT: PHOENIX SPIRAL!

I even used my pointer finger as a director, and boy did it work. From my finger a huge spiral of flame erupted from it. Rias gaped in awe as the fires engulfed the target, the powers of the phoenix burning it to ashes.

When I realized what I done, I gaped myself at the ashes I left behind, and looked at my finger. 'I know that this thing is great, but to shoot fire out of it?'

"THAT WAS SO COOL!" Rias exclaimed.

"It was nothing…"

"Are you kidding? With the cool serious look on your face, and the way you shouted 'TAKE THAT: PHOENIX SPIRAL!' It was like something out of an anime…" and the girl continued to ramble on in an excited squeal.

'Looks like I activated a fangirl…may satan have mercy on my soul'.

She then gives me a tight hug, much to my embarrassment. "After Sona, you are my new best friend!"

"Thanks," Don't get too comfy Phoenix! This is a little girl, and you're a middle age man, don't you know what they do to guys like those in prison? Though considering our physical age...SNAP OUT OF IT!

We both heard clapping, and see dad and Rias's mom giving an ovation. Rias's dad looked like he was doing it, but stopped when he saw what his daughter was doing to me.

'Geesh,' I wondered, 'Overprotective dad much?'

Dad gave me a smile, and not the 'smile', and said, "Looks like you finally learned Rite. I'm impressed with the firepower you produced. I'm sure your mother would be happy with the amount of progress you made".

"Thanks dad," I sheepishly replied. Got to say, I was quite proud of myself. Looks like I can prosecute as well as I can defend.

"Though I have to ask: how did you get yourself to use the cold fire?"

I desperately tried to think of a good excuse, and then one came surprisingly easily, "I pretended it was the Evil Magistrate, and I was the Steel Samurai!"

"Protector of Neo Olde Tokyo!" Rias cheered, giving credibility to my excuse.

Dad busted a gut after he heard that, and said, "Ah children television. Is there any issues you can't teach?"

"Let's do that," Dad decided, "Pretend every target I asked you to fire is an enemy! Maybe then you can completely master your offensive powers".

That should be easy, I have an entire catalog of murderers, and a big list of decisive evidence I could use. I can't wait to think of Kristoph and my finger becoming the jurist system.

Though the whole Phoenix Spiral thing? Don't tell me where I got that from, it just came to me instinctively. Wonder what other new moves I might do. If Maya was here, she'll be theorizing by the mouthful. Speaking of Maya, when am I going to Kurain? I really need to make plans for it. And if Maya might be reincarnated, did chief get reincarnated as well? I really need to do some research here.

"By the way," and Dad put on the 'smile'. Uh oh. "I believe that the latest episode of the 'Magical Girl Levi-tan' is currently running".

I turned to my side, and saw that Rias has literally left behind a dust cloud. While I was still trying to comprehend how she did that. Dad stopped 'smiling' and said, "I didn't want her to know".

"Know what?"

"That she's your…"

Before the old man could finish, the transportation circle in the room started to glow. The Gremory family insignia appeared on it and the standard flash of light appeared on it. Two people emerged from the light.

One was a beautiful woman (should I even use that adjective anymore? Being beautiful seems to be a common trait amongst devil woman…also, because I'm going to have to mention it sooner or later, big breasts) with long silver hair. Her outfit can best be described as a French maid. Though the stern look in her eye reminded me way too much of chief whenever she gets mad.

The one standing next to her was obviously a Gremory. The scarlet red hair is a definite indicator that you're a member of that family. To be honest he reminded me of a more boyish Rias, right down to the similar facial features and hair length. Definitely a guy who inspires desires from the female masses. He was wearing an expensive black suit and looked pissed for some reason.

"Oh Sirzechs," dad commented plainly, "I thought you and Grayfia were busy with your mission".

'Wait, her name is Grayfia? I know I dealt with lots of punny names, but I never called myself Spiky Wright!'

"The other members of my peerage said they could clean up the rest on their own". The Gremory, Sirzechs, stated tapping his arms.

The maid, Grayfia, bowed. "It's a pleasure to meet you Lord Phenex. And is this your son, Rite Phenex?"

I waved in response, "Uh…hi".

Lady Gremory walked up and said, "It's good to see you again Grayfia. You too Sirzechs."

Sirzechs put on a smiled and nodded, "Thank you mother. But I felt I had to cut the mission short once I heard the news".

I didn't need Apollo's eyes to perceive the twitch on his eyes. Grayfia and Lady Gremory had the same expression on my face whenever I see Maya do something stupid…which was a lot. Dad looked like it was a set up for his favorite punchline. Nice of you to see me as entertainment old man!

Sirzechs turned to me, and I suddenly felt a large amount of fear for my life. "So this is Rite Phenex?"

Dad patted me on the back, "Yup. My youngest son, and our number one benefactor of Phoenix Tears".

"Really?" the peeved off look he had was replaced with awe.

"Really. It took him an entire week to prepare the ritual properly".

Sirzechs smirked, "I'm impressed, you would make a fine leader one day…but you won't have Rias as your wife!" and the peeved off look was back. Though I ignored it due to the sentence he said.

"I won't have who as my what?"

"Don't play dumb! You think you can come here and declare Rias as your wife? Well as her older brother I won't stand for it!"

"DAD!" I shouted to the laughing parent, "What the heck is going on?"

"Rias Gremory is your fiance Rite." And he said all that with a blank expression! Should I have expected this? I mean, I knew something was kinda funny the moment that my play date was a girl, but a fiance? I mean, I know I'm a noble now, so getting arranged marriages seemed likely…oh why am I questioning this? IT'S A FREAKING ENGAGEMENT!

"Dad," I slowly started, "I'm still just a little kid. Rias is still just a little kid. We're at the age where we're supposed to think that girls have cooties, and boys are gross!"

The old man, with his stupid 'smile', merely shrugged in response, "I thought it might be best to get you a wife as soon as possible. Besides you seem to have skipped the girls have cooties stage of childhood".

'Can you please stop smiling that fake 'smile'? If you can at least pretend that messing with your son's love life isn't amusing to you, I would be happy'. I thought in dismay. "But dad. Who knows if she would even want this?"

"She seemed happy when she was hugging you".

"SHE WHAT?! Why I outta-OUCH!"

That was the sound of Sirzechs shouting in anger, preparing for a threat, and then having his cheeks pinched by Grayfia, who had an aggravated look on her face. Since dwelling on this might be problematic for my mental health, I turned to the old man and said, "She's a little girl! It probably doesn't mean anything. She just finds me to be a nice friend".

Dad shrugged, "Well she won't find out about the engagement until she turns thirteen. She will then have the choice to refute it".

Well that's a relief. Since by then we have gotten to know each other, she can just refute the marriage; we have a laugh, and pretend it never happened.

Why didn't I notice dad chuckling in the background?

Lord Phenex then thought to himself, 'Best not tell him the whole truth. It might stress the poor boy out. Maou, he's like a middle age man in a boys body!'

Rias then chose now to come back, growling angrily, "There were no new episodes on!"

Sirzechs was about to say something, probably about the engagement, but Grayfia was pinching his cheeks too hard to allow him to articulate words. It seemed like they were…

I turned to dad, "Married couple?"

"Yup. Obvious?"

"They had that feel to them".

"Saw it coming the moment they met". Venelena noted

Dad coughed and said, "Seems like I was mistaken. In any case, it's time for us to go. Rite must prepare for his training more".

Rias eyes widened, then she turned to me, "When are you coming back Rite-kun?"

I rubbed the back of my hair, "Maybe later Rias. I not sure if I can come back soon…" NOW THAT IS JUST NOT FAIR!

She was giving me puppy dog eyes. With tears glistening in her ducts. Complete with a pout.

"Okay, I'll come back soon!" I pretty much begged, my dignity already bleeding, "Just stop doing that!"

Rias cheered, "And you can meet So-tan as well!" While I was wondering who 'So-tan' was, I would rather leave now. Knowing that this girl was my fiancé creep-ed me out a little. I'm forty one! This makes me feel dirty! I don't want to marry against my own will.

Sure Rias may be adorable, is fascinating with her japanophile, and definitely someone I could rely on, I didn't want to…AH! The cuteness! It's getting to me.

I bowed to all the members of the family, and said, "Wellitwasnicemeetingyoutimetogo!"

I took dad by the hand and ran for the teleportation circle. Dad waved as he activated the circle.

After Rias left the room, Venelena said, "He's already succumbing to her need".

"They might get married after the awkward teenage years of their lives" Grayfia commented.

"Rias…" Sirzechs sighed. "Don't leave your big brother like this..." Venelena decided that she and her son needed a long talk about the proper bonds between siblings

."Now here's a target," dad declared. Pointing at a small red circle. It's hard to miss with a simple attack, provided you can attack in the first place. "Can you do the same thing you did back in the Gremory manor?"

"I think so". I answered hesitantly. Alright, I have to think of the murderers I caught, and what I did in order to catch them. My memories were a little rusty, (reincarnation can do that to a guy), but I think I can think of a couple examples.

Browsing through all the cases I ever took, I might have to keep a journal on all my trials for reference; I came across a nice and simple one. The First Turnabout.

Looking back at myself at that case, I was embarrassed to see what I was. How could I forget the victim's name? How could I not see who the real culprit was? And why did I give up so easily? I can't even use the excuse of it being my first case because both Apollo and Athena had much better showing then me.

In any case, the target is Frank Sahwit, and my powers was the passport that did him in. I pointed my finger at the target.

TAKE THAT: PHOENIX FIRE

Compared to the spiral I fired back at the mansion, the current attack was a lot less impressive. A single fire ball came out of my finger and attacked the target. The target burned to ground, along with Dad clapping.

"So were you pretending it was a mook?"

"Yup". Let's go with that. Honestly I'm glad I Maya forced me to watch the Steel Samurai as many times as she did. I have an entire supply of villains who I could pretend I was fighting instead of the murderers I caught.

Though why did the attack seem weaker? It turns out the more cases I remembered, the different the attacks. It's like my own personal code for attacks. And it usually alternates between fire and wind. Don't ask me how, it's like this new life is forcing me to remember my old one.

Then one day, after training with my memories as much as I could, dad gave me an important gift, and a statement.

"It's time to start your peerage".

This took way too long. But four main reasons. Exams, my other ace attorney fanfic, my first lemon fanfic, and the knowledge needed to write Highschool Dxd. I'm not a big fan of harem anime, and if it weren't for it's popularity, I would've avoided DXD as well. The problem I have with harems, is that there is always an undertone of something interesting (such as DXD's entire lore) that makes the harem unnecessary for me. Oh well. I'll need someone who has a decent knowledge of DXD. But in any case, here's an Omake. Please read and review.

Omake: Turnabout Queen

"You're asking me to become your queen?" A young boy with parted gray hair asked in an incredulous manner. Rite nodded. "You will become an ideal member."

"You're Mystic Maya's special someone!"

"Thanks Daddy!"

I'll either update this or my other ace attorney fanfic. Or my lemon fic. Whatever I finish first. Sorry for the wait. The next chapter is written, but pretty sloppy. I might have to rewrite it somewhat.
