Hello and welcome to the next chapter!

Phantom Symbiote; That would be quite interesting. Never thought about something like that before.

Absolute Mirage; Thanks very much! Yeah, it is going to shake up/have some fun moments with them together. And yeah, that's what they are, two different abilities mixed together. And you're not wrong about that, it does seem like quite the thing~ And thanks very much!

Gabrielbrooks; I wouldn't know what kind of abilities to use.

BloodChamp; Thanks very much! Maybe he does, he might very well do~ So, would that have the same abilities as True Longinus?

weslyschraepen; Yup that's on the list at the bottom, check that out.

PalmitoCozido; Okay, if it isn't for you, then it isn't. Thanks for the best wishes!

Tohka123; Thanks very much! Yup, this time, he's with them all, and is gonna go on quite different journey's with them. He surely is yeah, and we'll see more of that here, delving more into his character, his thoughts, and what not. Thanks! Yeah, Ise, and Takato have quite the relationship with one another, and we'll see even more of them into the future. And thank you very much!

hellspam; Thanks! Ooh, he'd use it rather differently I'd say. And yeah, those two are~

Toxiclogical; Thanks very much! And thank you~

Warzone8x8; Thank you very much! Thanks for the vote as well! And yeah, we're going to be getting into quite a few things in the future~

Sunfang193; Thanks! That would be a rather interesting Balance Breaker.

Harem Master123; Thanks very much! And yeah, he surely is, we'll be seeing his character grow as we go through the story. Because he already said to Ise, before going on said date, that it would be between friends, that's why he went out with Ise. I can see that, it does seem like a few people use it. Though everyone does it differently so I can see it happening like that. And he might do~

DukeSomerset; Maybe so yeah, thanks for the vote~

Vizard Masky; Thanks very much! Indeed, he can see a few things like that and can see that Ise is a good person despite the perversions. Things are gonna get quite good from here, they're in similar situations, and are going through this together, so their story is going to be quite the thing. He's not really dense, apprehensive perhaps, but that's all apart of the backstory he will have revealed. True, I don't think I see that enough. Yeah, he very well might have something like that happen in the future~ And yeah, it's going to be a rather fun time with the powers and all~

Mindbreaker101; Yup, it is on the list, thanks for the suggestion, check it out on the bottom.

KobayashiSenpai; Thank you highly! Yeah, doesn't seem like it is used, but for some comedy alone it is going to be fun~ And thank you, I'm glad that you liked her! He does yeah, he knows some fighting styles. It does, there's a few others that are popular as well, so we'll see as well~ And yeah, it's going to be rather something!

ShadowUzumaki55; Thanks very much! Yeah, it surely is, I hope that she's well received as well~ He might be one in the future yeah~ Maybe they could, he's going to know someone in canon from the past, can't say who it is yet though. Thanks! Yup, Akeno doesn't waste time, she likes to tease after all~ Cool suggestions!

LoamyCoffee; Thanks! And yeah, thanks for the vote!

kmubarak2001; Thanks for the vote! Kuroka definitely is~

HolyKnightX ; Thanks very much! And thanks, I am glad you liked both of them~ Hehe, if you liked it there, then... Yeah, it can be quite the cool Sacred Gear, Gerog didn't use it to the best effect in canon. And yup, that would be. And yeah, it's going to be quite the ride as we go forward~

The Scottish Black Belt; Thanks very much! It wouldn't surprise me if that was the case. Yeah, you're not wrong, though he'll have something that will give him that kinda feel anyway. Can't say what yet, but it is going to be fun going forward. Yeah, in canon, they aren't used to their fullest effects, they could have been used better, but that's what Fanfiction is for! Hehe, I laughed at that, mook with magic fog. No, I don't believe that I have used her before, it would be interesting, thanks for the suggestions!

nirtenzo; Thanks very much for the vote!

Nivek Beldo; It would have been, but I haven't decided what Takato's is gonna be yet so, ya know~? If you liked her then, you'll see more fun moments as we go through the story. Well, you never know, he could be something unusual. Well, read on for that, it's going to be quite the, rude awakening. It would be yeah. Which idea?

Ragna; Milf's are always fun, I'll give it a think over~

Guest 1; Hehe, that would be funny, a fight between manhood vs butts.

Guest 2; Cool, thanks for the votes! Ooh, I have a very funny scene planned for when Isane has her Balance Breaker achieved.

Lyvendel; Thanks very much! I shall do my best!

WakeWalker; Thank you very much! I'm glad you're enjoying it!

BloodTyrant16; Thanks, it's going to be quite a ride from here~

maxbrevan; Thanks very much! And thank you for the votes! And thanks for the suggestions!

Crenin; You're not wrong, I don't see it used often. And yeah, I'd never have anything that could end a conflict quickly like that.

Silver crow; Thanks very much! Yeah, he's gonna be quite the complex kinda guy with different sides to him. Aah, I'm glad, as it shows different sides to him as well, and gives room for development. Thanks! Yeah, Isane is fun to write for, not gonna lie. He's gonna have quite the interesting relationship with Rias. Unlike Ise who was pretty much okay with anything, Takato's different and isn't going to fall in like because Rias is beautiful. Yeah, it surely would be interesting, if we knew what they did. Those would be rather interesting. He'd probably use it quite like that, and in tandem with some other abilities. He could do something like that yeah~ And yeah, that would be pretty cool. It would be cool, I can't lie about that. Hmmm, possibly~ And yeah, they would be rather interesting combo's I thought of the ones you suggested, and the ones that I thought would work the best, and put them at the bottom~ And yeah, I don't see why not. And yeah, it would be good. Yeah, perhaps he could do like that as well. He's going to use other abilities throughout the story, I can't say what yet as it would be quite the spoilers. Thanks for the vote! Ooh he's gonna have a television show with a few people in the ORC. It was for some comic relief, you never know what's going to happen. She's going to be important to his character, I can't say what it is right now, but it is going to be something. Thanks for the vote! And yeah, I like them. I do need a familiar type character, so the Hydra is the viable option. And yeah, maybe it would be~ And yeah, it finally happened~ We'll see some quite cool developments here now~ And thanks, here's the update!

Anonymous; Yup, I surely have, it's going to be quite the sight to behold. Yeah, a female Issei is going to be quite the thing to go towards in the future. You're not wrong, with her heart not broken, she can show more emotions, but Isane is still gonna go through things as well, as we'll see in the future. He did yeah, he fought to keep her safe, and sound, the best he could do anyway. And yeah, they both tried to save the other, quite romantic in my eyes. And yeah, they surely will~

BloodRaven46; I'm glad! And yeah, it was, but don't worry, I shall be doing it eventually. Yeah, it is rather rare, and I like Luna, she's my favourite. Cool, thanks for the vote! Yumi has an appearance like that from one of the LN's, and check out female Issei online, type it into the search, that's how I found it and I found some good ones. Yeah, that would be good as well~

Neonlight01; Thanks! Yeah, his life is about to get a whole lot busier! Yup, it's gonna be fun when the Heavenly Dragon's come after Takato~ Maybe he can, we'll have to wait and see~ Yeah, they were having fun and Dohnaseek ruined it in the end~ Cool, thanks for the votes! Cool suggestions~

TheLastNanaya; Well, I'm glad that it did~

Soul; Yeah, she's added, and you're right, she does. Cool, perhaps, milf's are always interesting.

Primevere; Indeed, a new story~ Well, I am glad that you gave it a try and liked it even a little~ No worries~ Yeah, she's pretty cool, I like her. And thank you very much! I'm glad that you like it!

Well, with those lovely reviews out of the way, it is time to start the chapter! Also, check out the bottom for some important information!


The new Devil's harsh journey!

"Alright, it's done."

Dohnaseek said as he walked into what appeared to be a Church late at night. The darkness had peeked into the broken windows of the Church, and the moonlight filled the area with renewed brightness that he couldn't stand, he didn't like the light of anything, even the moon pissed him off.

The area around him was quite the dashing thing to say the least. It looked like it had been broken apart, yet fixed at the same time, and then he saw Yuuma, stood there, looking to be twiddling with her thumbs.

"You really did it?"

Dohnaseek showed a slight smile.

"That's correct, I did. He's gone now, and so is our other target, Hyoudou Isane."

Though Dohnaseek was smirking, Yuuma noticed that on his hand, there was a wound. It even was bleeding a little bit. Nothing to major, but it was still a very noticeable wound that had appeared on his hand.

"What happened to your hand?"

Dohnaseek looked down at his hand, and ground his teeth.

"That shit Takato bit me."

"Haha, he got close enough?"

Dohnaseek growled and slapped his hand down onto the nearby pew, breaking it with his impressive strength.

"That's right, he did. He's a sly bastard who was able to trick me probably if he doesn't exist when he could. But, he got me in a headlock, and for a human, he was surprisingly strong. I was quite shocked that he could do that. But, in the end, he couldn't survive me, and I ended him with my light. He died, and so did that bitch Isane as well. You should have seen it, the poor girl was crying for the guy she liked as he tried to protect her. If it didn't make me sick, then I would almost call it romantic."

"Romantic huh...well, either way, they're gone now. I am sure that Mittelt, and Kalawarner shall be pleased."

Dohnaseek's hand tightened and he showed a sly smile on his face.

"And soon, we'll be getting Asia as well. When we do, our Master shall be pleased."

Yuuma didn't look pleased about that, but it seemed like right now, she would have to go along with it as well.

"Y-Yeah, also Azazel-sama shall be pleased as well."

Dohnaseek scoffed a little bit.

"Will he now? Well, Azazel's time shall be over soon enough, Raynare." Seemingly her real name, Raynare looked on with her lips pursed. "What's wrong, Raynare? It seems like you don't agree with me about Azazel?"

"...You're not even calling him 'Azazel-sama' or anything like that."

The young man shrugged his shoulders.

"Perhaps, it doesn't matter in the end. As I said, he would probably be sad if he heard us speaking about him like this. But Azazel's too soft, he doesn't understand and seek war out like people like myself, and we'll be useful in the coming days, Raynare. All of us shall be, we aren't going to be the losers of the group anymore, that's all it is, don't worry about it now."

Raynare looked on with slightly narrowed eyes towards Dohnaseek and he didn't even seem that he was all that bothered either. Somehow, it seemed like Dohnaseek wasn't going to hold back now, no matter what else was going to happen.


"Mmmmmmmmm…"

Isane moaned as she wriggled around in her bed…

No, something felt different this morning.

She had gone to bed, right?

When did she do that?

She couldn't remember.

All she could remember was Takato dying on her...but, she was alive. She had been stabbed, yet she was alive as well, so it didn't make sense to her, why could she be alive, and Takato was as well, isn't he?

That's what ran through the young girls mind and she couldn't stop thinking about it either.

The thought that she had a date with Takato was amazing. Even if he saw it between friends, she still considered a win, and was going to go from day between friends and go all the way to romantic lovers, and what not.

But, she hadn't opened her eyes yet, due to the thoughts that she had.

But, on her head, she felt something...off.

No, not off, warm.

It didn't feel like her pillow, but she didn't know what it was.

Curiously, her eyes opened, and she saw a healthy white glow before her. She could see the skin that was of a boy, and could see his nipple right by her mouth as well. She could even feel an arm around her as well.

Hesitantly, her eyes went upwards, to see who she was sleeping on.

"Please don't let it be a rapist..."

She muttered to herself, wanting to understand what was going on…

Her heart beat increased. She recognized the chest. But in her sleepy mind, she couldn't place her finger on it.

But, then she saw that it was Takato.

A sleeping Takato in her bed. He looked so peaceful.

Her eyes went wide with happiness, and her body twitched around happily.

"Fuck yeah! We had sex!" Her mind jumped to that conclusion. "But, I don't remember it...shit, what happened...if Takato and I had sex, then that means….fuck! I can't remember my first time with Takato! That's not fair!" A perverted thought came to her mind. "I am sure he wouldn't mind if I had a little lookie..."

Because she was naked (she could feel it) she wondered if Takato was naked.

Her eyes scanned down his body, lifting up the covers.

Standing up at attention, was a sight that she wanted to see for such a long time up close.

She couldn't deny that she was so happy right now.

Seeing the length, wide, and general size, Isane's nose bled.

"Kuku, it seems that my favourite part is working very well."

Her dirty thoughts surrounded her mind and wouldn't let go of them either, she was enjoying this very much, no matter what anyone else said.

"You shouldn't be looking at his penis like that."

"Aaaaah!" Isane jumped at the noise, which made Takato stir, but he didn't wake up. "W-Who..."

Her eyes looked to the other side of Takato.

She was sure that there was something there…

And she was right.

What she saw, surprised her.

She saw that it was Rias Gremory laid next to Takato on the other side, and she was fully nude. She could see everything, and if she could, then that meant that Takato, when he woke up, would be able to see everything as well.

"G-Gremory-senpai!?"

Rias casually sat up, and had no problem showing off what she had going on.

"Yes, that's right, hello Isane-san, it seems like you and I have the pleasure of spending the night with Miyamoto-kun here. Is it alright if I call you Ise? Since we'll be seeing so much of one another, you know?"

Ise couldn't, or rather didn't want to, believe that it would be possible that she would be there.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!? W-What are you saying!? D-Did you have sex with him as well?!"

Rias' cheeks dusted red slightly, shaking her head, Takato's eyes fluttering at the noise made by Isane.

"N-No, I didn't. But there is a reason that I am here, and that's because..." Her eyes drifted to Takato who by now was awake, and looking right at her, his eyes widened with confusion. "Ah, Miyamoto-kun, it seems like-"

"Pervert!"

"Hey!" Ise rasped out, then saw that his eyes were on Rias. "Oh, yeah, she can be so..."

Takato's eyes went towards Ise, and saw that like Rias, she was naked as well. He could see everything on the women. From their pink pointy nipples, to their womanhood's as well. Rias wasn't shameful at all, she showed off what she had with pride, and Ise didn't seem to care either. His eyes went to the roof, as Rias chuckled.

"Fufu, you don't have to look away Miyamoto-kun, I'll let you look."

"N-No! That's fine pervert!"

Rias crossed her eyes at him.

"I am not a pervert."

"Then explain how we ended up in bed together...a-and this isn't even my bed! W-Where the hell are we…?" Takato looked around the room, and saw various wall scrolls of naked boys that looked eerily like Takato himself. His eyes shot back to Ise who was looking down below. "W-What are you smirking for Ise-san?"

Ise's smirk grew and she licked her lips.

"I'm just checking out the best sight in the world Takato."

Takato didn't know when he said she could call him that. But that wasn't the issue right now.

His eyes went down his body to see what she was looking at as if it wasn't painfully obvious, though because of the experience that he was having, his mind wasn't in the right frame right now, and he couldn't think straight.

But then he got to his member sticking up pridefully, and in a erect state.

His cheeks burned massive amounts of redness, which resulted in the boy grabbing a nearby pillow, and held it to his crotch, to Ise's eternal disappointment.

"Awwwww, and I was enjoying the show as well Takato..."

Ise whined out rather adorably but he shook his head.

"Sexual harassment is forbidden Ise-san."

His stern voice made her cry a little bit.

"That's not fair..."

Rias, watching on, fell to bemusement.

"So, you aren't worried about us being in bed together anymore?"

"Of course I am!" His eyes shot towards her, but then saw her large breasts, cheeks flushed, and turned his head upwards again to not look. "B-But, why are we!? Did you take my virginity when I was asleep!? Did you rape me!?"

"R-Rape!? I wouldn't-"

"Obaa-chan! I was raped by a red headed girl! Surely, when a girl I know hears this, she is going to be totally pissed off!"

"A-A girl?" Ise sounded depressed. "W-Who is the girl Takato?"

"Eeeeeh, that's..."

Takato didn't know how to explain and he couldn't look right now, due to the fact that all three of them were naked.

Rias got off the bed, and stood up. Takato could hear her breasts moving, they were that big. Also, he could make out the movements of her from the shadow on the wall he looked at. For some reason, his eyes could make out her curves as well, which truly didn't help at all.

"Could you get dressed already Gremory-senpai?"

Rias, who couldn't help but be amused by his words, showed a distant smile.

"Fufu, you know, you don't have to be all shy around me. You can look, I've given you permission."

"The shy thing is apart of his charm Gremory-senpai! Don't ruin it!"

Ise yelled from the side, something that Rias hadn't expected.

"What are you saying?"

"It's because he's cute, and shy! Naturally, he is a very adorable person! And he has to be with such shyness! He truly is the cutest ever! So don't ruin that and try and corrupt him! That's what I want to do! I am going to corrupt him!"

"No one is corrupting me! Just get fricken dressed already!"

Takato yelled, but Rias and Ise looked towards him curiously, seeing that his bottom lip quivered, and his eyes were fluttering. Both of them gave adoring smiles towards the young boy, and Ise went to move closer, but then it happened…

"Ise! Wake-up! It's already time for school!"

"Okaa-san, is Ise still in her room?"

"Otou-san, her shoes are in the entrance so she came home. Geez! I know she went out with her boyfriend, but staying out so late, I hope nothing happened, or she did something to scare him off!" Both Takato and Rias looked at Ise weirdly who adopted a shy face, and turned her head to the side. "On top of that, being late for school! That, I won't forgive!"

The conversation between Ise's parents on the first floor can even be heard up here.

Then it was followed by footsteps coming up the stairs. The footsteps carried the sound of anger. It's different from her usual footsteps.

"Ooh no, it's my Okaa-san!" Ise yelled. "Okaa-san! I'm okay! I promise! It is fine! I am awake!"

"Geez! I won't forgive you any more! We need to have a little talk about this!"

Ise's mother yelled, as Takato looked freaked out.

"Erm, where are my clothes?"

Takato asked Rias without looking, who giggled in bemusement.

"Have you had enough of being naked with two women already?"

"When I don't know what happened, naturally I don't know what to think!"

He shyly shouted out, Rias giggled slightly.

"I didn't do anything with you, I brought you back here after it happened."

"After what..."

OPEN!

Takato, Ise, and Rias froze at that moment.

The door burst open and revealed Ise's mother. Ise's eyes looked to be on the verge of tears, Rias looked normal, and Takato looked sorrowful towards her, like he had done a bad thing, even though he hadn't, and natural shyness kicked in for the young boy.

"Good morning~"

Rias seemed happy enough, she even was waving like nothing bad had happened.

The young woman looked on towards them all, and then went to Takato. Takato looked fearful of what she was going to do.

But what she did, he didn't expect.

"I am so sorry! Isane gets too excited! She didn't mean to do anything to you, but she took it too far, and then it ended up becoming like this. God, I am so sorry about all of this, Takato-kun. I'll do anything to make it right."

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh?! Okaa-san?! What are you saying!?"

Ise's mother turned towards her harshly, causing her to flinch.

"Ise, we know of your perverted habits, and then...this poor boy Ise, you shouldn't have done that..."

"I-I didn't do anything! Why do you assume I did something anyway!?" Ise's mother just looked at her harshly, making Ise feel sad about many things. "A-Ah, don't look at me like that..."

Ise's mother grabbed a blanket from nearby and wrapped it around Takato.

"Come along dear, lets get you to not...I mean, lets make sure you're okay."

"Erm..."

Takato was led out, but not before grabbing his clothing that he had, he didn't even know how they got there.

Once they were outside, Ise and Rias looked at one another.

"So...your parents think you instigated sex between you and Miyamoto-kun. Is there a reason for that?"

"I haven't done anything! You did! You must have!"

"I didn't do anything!"

Rias snapped, as they heard the yelling from downstairs.

"Nooooooooooooooooooo! Okaa-san! She really took it too far!?"

"Yes! That poor cute boy suddenly got attacked by Ise!"

"It's okay! We've prepared for this Okaa-san! Don't worry, everything is going to be okay!"

"I hope so dear! I truly hope so!"

Ise looked to be on the verge of tears. Rias on the other hand kept looking towards Isane with a weird expression on her face.

"Are you sure..."

"Stop thinking that Gremory-senpai!"

Rias cringed, and turned her head to the side wonderingly.


After the mess of clothing was figured out, they finally met in the dining room. Takato sat between Rias, and Ise who looked at him with a pervy gaze, remembering his naked body and every last detail of it all.

The air was thick with tension.

It was clear, between Ise, and her parents, something seemed to be truly strained.

It felt weird.

It felt scary as well.

They didn't know what they were going to do.

They didn't even know how they were going to make it through this either.

Takato himself, dressed in a school uniform Rias got him (he didn't even want to know how she got his size or anything) and the fact that he was going to be put through a hell like no other. He still didn't get the reasons as to why he was going through all of this.

And why the sun outside suddenly felt off to him.

It just didn't make sense to her at all.

"...So, Ise didn't force herself onto Takato-kun then?"

Ise's mother stared in disbelief, which was a harsh thing for Ise to endure. Takato didn't say anything and looked at the food that was in front of him. Being in a friends company and other things as well, he didn't expect it.

"No, no. It's all a big misunderstanding." Rias waved her hand innocently. "You see, last night, things happened...well, you see, Miyamoto-kun here doesn't like to sleep alone, and we met up, so I offered to sleep next to him, and your daughter did as well. So, naturally, we came back here, because Miyamoto-kun lives alone, and what not, so we came back here, as there's nothing like being in a family home, right?"

Event Takato didn't believe that. He just couldn't see anyone buying such a thing.

"S-So, that's how it was…? W-Well, Ise was comforting Takato-kun...a-and your name is Rias...san?"

"Yes, that's correct, my name is Rias Gremory, from the House of Gremory. I also attend the same school as Miyamoto-kun and your daughter here."

"M-My, your Japanese is fantastic...b-but, to sleep naked with Takato-kun and all..."

Rias waved her hand at the elder gentleman.

"It's because we all do that nowadays. I myself find clothing rather restrictive during the night, so I came here, and had to take them off. Even Miyamoto-kun-"

"Don't drag me into your lies please."

Takato shot back at her, causing Rias to huff to herself.

But, from the look of her parents, it seemed to be working.

Takato knew something was off.

Something about their eyes, and how they looked…

No, it couldn't be, right?

Would they be hypnotized or something?

That's the impression that he was getting right now.

But how would that be possible?

"I-I see, well as long as it is what the kids do nowadays..."

Takato found that odd that he would be like that, how Ise's father was just accepting of it all. Even Ise looked confused, so he knew it wasn't her that was doing anything and had to take a stab in the dark and guess that it was Rias that was doing it, and he had a feeling that he was right on the money when it came to things like this.

"Say, Gremory-senpai, can I, talk to you, in the hallway, please?"

It was more of an plead than suggestion and she thought it was rather fun to see such a thing, so she agreed.

"Of course Miyamoto-kun, let us talk in private."

Rias stood up, and walked away with Takato. Ise wanted to follow, but she was stopped by her parents.

Around the corner, Takato faced Rias seriously who kept smiling.

"What did you do then?"

"Me?" She acted oblivious when she was anything but. "I just got us out of a bad situation, that's all Miyamoto-kun."

"Yeah, and Sephiroth doesn't have long silver hair."

"Ooh, Final Fantasy 7, I like that game~"

Takato was surprised that she even knew what he was talking about.

"W-Well, that's...hold on! How did you do it? No messing around. How did you do it?"

Rias stuck out her tongue in a cute manner, and winked.

"It's because I'm a Devil."

"D-Devil...spawn of Satan!?"

"Funny you should mention Satan because..."

"Heh, let me guess, you're related to Satan."

"In so many words..."

"Ooh my God, please God tell me that she's lying to me right now?" Suddenly, pain erupted inside of Takato's skull. "Owwww! What the heck was that? I prayed to God, and I have a headache? Since when does it work like that?"

Rias chuckled rather awkwardly, she didn't know how to respond all that well.

"As I was saying, what happened last night, was real. The Fallen Angel, everything was real. You saw him and tried to save Hyoudou-chan, right?" Takato didn't say anything, but Rias smiled. "She already told me about it, that you bravely used your body to buy her some time. I thought that it was immensely sweet that you actually did something like that for her."

"T-Thanks but..." He composed himself, and then stated directly towards her. "So...let me get this straight, you, a Devil, came after...he called himself a Fallen Angel...I remember, and I fought him, but he stabbed me, and then...I saw crimson...like your hair, I saw your hair, and the sun...it hits me, and I feel weaker than when in darkness..."

"It seems that you might have figured out a few things. But I'll fill out the blanks. You see, I am a Devil, yes, and you, have turned into a Devil, under me. Say, while we're at it, may I call you Takato like Ise does as well?"

"...I wasn't aware you were on a first name basis with Ise-san."

"Well, I like being on first name basis with all of my servants."

Like that, Takato thought that he was going mad.

"...S-Servants? Who are you calling a servant?"

"Yes, that's what I said, servants. Takato, you are my-"

"Forget this! You must be on something, I am no one's servant, and I am not yours! Sorry, not into BDSM! Find someone else to be into that stuff with!" Takato pushed her aside, and walked towards the door. But not before stopping at the kitchen. "Thank you for the meal Ise-san's Okaa-sama and Otou-sama. Sorry, I have to run right now, thank you again!"

Before they could say anything, Takato was out of the door, while Rias watched on. Ise walked by and looked at the fleeting Takato as well, wondering what Rias had said to him for him to suddenly go away like that.


Takato went towards the school since it was closer than his home. People tried to talk to him, but he largely stuck to his own thoughts, and feelings. A servant…? Was she being truthful? Certainly, the sun was an enemy today. Each step felt like his life was being drained and he only felt good when the sun wasn't on his skin. When he was in the darkness.

He didn't know why that could be...no, he didn't want to accept that he was a Devil.

How could he be?

He was human yesterday.

Sure, he saw some messed up situations yesterday.

But, you can't just go from human, to Devil, can you?

It just didn't make sense to Takato at all, and why it would happen in the first place.

He felt like Rias was playing a prank…

No, she was being serious.

Making it to the school, he went towards the library. Even though it was early, he didn't care, and he needed some answers.

He hadn't even gone home, his thoughts were on what he was now.

What he could be.

And what he was facing yesterday as well.

Getting inside of the library, it was rather dull right now. There were no people inside. And he merely took off to the computers, and logged in, knowing the login code without the people that were around, like the librarian, and what not.

Going onto the internet, he simply searched "Devil." and he read up on what it said online.

He knew trusting the internet a hundred percent was a wrong thing to do.

But he didn't have any other resource right now.

"...Devils are beings of evil, that take the souls of humans and..."

Takato read it to himself quietly, wondering what he truly was now.

What he could be.

What he had to do now.

If he was a Devil, did he have to steal peoples souls?

Did he have to kill people?

He didn't know what he would have to do now, all he knew was that he was going to be put through many things now.

The more he read, the more he didn't even want to believe that this was happening.

If he was reading what was true, then he was...evil.

He was an evil being that killed people…

But, he didn't want to kill anyone.

Sure, he could kick ass if he would want to, but he didn't want to, and only did it when he needed too. That, was probably one of the most terrifying thing that could ever happen. Takato just couldn't understand this world anymore.

"Obaa-chan, I don't know what I am supposed to do..."

The young boy threw his head backwards, and sighed deeply.

But, then he heard noise coming from behind him that came out as a "Fufu." sound.

Becoming curious, his eyes opened, and looked towards the person that was behind him.

Standing there, in all of her glory, was Akeno herself.

Quickly, he switched off the monitor, and though he didn't know if she was, he knew that Akeno was friends with Rias, and if that was the case, then there was a chance that she could be a Devil, and if that was the case, then he wasn't taking chances.

"Tell your leader or whatever I am not interested."

Takato muttered, as Akeno giggled, sitting down.

"Fufu, don't kill the messenger now, Buchou had summoned me to tell you that we'll be having a meeting later on."

"And...that should affect me, why?"

He wasn't being mean.

He wasn't being callous either.

All he wanted was answers. Yet if he went to their meeting, would he get answers? Or, would he be punished for running away from Rias earlier that morning? He didn't have the answers, and honestly, he wasn't sure if he wanted them anymore.

He just wanted things to go back to normal.

"Because you're a member now~ You're a member of the Occult Research Club."

"That's funny, I never decided anything like that."

He shot back but Akeno giggled to herself.

"Don't you worry your cute blonde innocent face about it. It has all been taken care of, Buchou signed you up herself. So, please come to the club after school, Buchou will be sending a member to pick you up, and Isane-chan as well. Fufu, she's quite the weird girl, huh~? I heard that she even tries to spy on the boys, what a bad girl she is. I might have to punish her~"

The way that she said it, Takato didn't know what kind of punishment that Akeno was going to give out.

"W-Well, even if that's the case, I don't know if I am going."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"Because, I don't know what she's going to do to me, the Devil girl." Seeing that Akeno didn't even flinch, he guessed she was one as well. "And you, you're a Devil as well, aren't you?"

"Guilty as charged~" Akeno sang out like the words didn't reach her. "Fufufu, yes, I am a Devil as well, I am actually the second in command of Rias Gremory, or as I, and the club call her, Buchou. And you're worried you're going to be attacked?"

"That's what Devils do, right? They attack others for their own greed, and power."

Akeno raised a finger to her chin and hummed.

"Well, some Devils might do that, but Rias-sama doesn't do that. Actually, she's a very kind person towards her servants."

"I really wish people would stop calling me a servant, I am no ones slave."

Akeno didn't get why, but it seemed like a rather touchy subject.

"...Okay, call it club member then."

"That...That's better. Now, this club meeting..." He thought about it, and he did want answers. "Fine, I'll be there."

"Good, that's good Miyamoto-kun~ I am glad you're going to come, to have someone so wonderfully cute in the group after Buchou recruiting women. I was beginning to suspect that she might be a lesbian or something~"

"L-Lesbian…? She seemed fine with me this morning and showing me her body..."

From what little he did see, he was still a man, so of course it was burned into his mind. The same for Ise's as well. The women both had large breasts. Rias had her beat in breast size, but Ise had quite the sensual expressions and the most perverted expressions as well.

"Is that so? Buchou, she doesn't know the meaning of holding back sometimes. She could be called an exhibitionist or something. But don't worry about it though. She is very affectionate with her ser...eeeh, she's very affectionate with all of us. And if you're a good boy, I'll be affectionate as well, I do like younger men after all~"

At her sensual tone, Takato was rather surprised, and he began to blush…

But then she was a Devil, and shook his head.

"W-Well, that's neither here nor there, or anything! A-Actually, Senpai, I have to go and...erm, there's a few things that I need to go and get. Don't worry, I'll definitely be there for the meeting, as I want some answers."

Takato bowed his head, switched off the computer fully, and walked out of the library.

Akeno wondered what he was going to be doing now. What he would be getting.

But, whatever it was, he seemed rather frazzled to someone like Akeno and he couldn't work out why that was...no, maybe it was because he had just been told that his old life was over, and now that he was a Devil, something that might be against the normal human way of thinking.

It would probably be jarring for anyone who came across such a thing.

To be told that, it must be life changing.


Takato had rushed home, to grab a few thing, for the meeting ahead.

He wasn't an idiot, he wasn't going to go into a Devils nest without some protection.

Grabbing his school bag, he grabbed a knife, a can of flammable hairspray and a lighter as well that he had. Then he went into his bedroom.

"At least they hadn't come here..."

Takato muttered to himself, and went through his bedroom.

Going to the side of his desk, he flipped a self made switch in the desk, that revealed a hidden compartment.

"Heh, it seems that those gifts Iri-chan gave me years ago are gonna help me out now. Never thought I'd need them like this though..."

He mumbled to himself, looking at the desk full of different holy objects. He himself didn't consider the fact that he would ever truly need them. But a friend had given them to him a long time ago, and he kept them for keeping them sake, since they came from a friend.

He picked up a cross…

But as soon as he did, he felt his hand burn, so he dropped it immediately.

"Aah...damn...so, I am a Devil..."

Nearby, there was a cloth, so he picked that up, wrapping around the cross, and held it. This, didn't affect him. He was glad, and put it into his bag.

He picked up some other items, and then he looked at the holy water.

"Does holy water go off?"

Muttering, he shrugged his shoulders, and thanked the girl he knew a long time ago deep within his heart.

Even if the circumstances hadn't called for such a thing, he knew that he would have to protect himself now.

Once finished, he went to stand up, when he looked at the images he had on his bedside table. He had a few, a few people that were important to him once. One was him, and a little girl with brown hair, another was of him and a silver haired girl, another was with him and a bunch of people and another was of him and a kind old woman with other pictures around of important people to him.

Focusing in on that one, tears began to fall from his eyes.

"Devils don't go to Heaven, do they Obaa-chan…? I'm never going to see you or anyone again...my friends...you...no one..." His eyes went towards the silver haired girl, and hiccuped, as he sobbed. "You're never going to love me as a Devil either..."

His head hit the bed that was beside him, and he sat there, silently crying at the now existence he had.

As a Devil, what prospects did he have?

He didn't even get to be with his loved ones anymore…

He was alone in the world, and didn't have the chance to have an afterlife, if one even existed.

He, didn't know anymore.


Sitting in class, Ise looked towards the place that Takato usually sat, and saw that he wasn't there. Even as class began, he hadn't come, and she was worried for the young girl. The fact that he wasn't there, she felt worried for him.

"Takato, where have you gone…? What's going through your mind…?"

She thought to herself, watching the place that Takato sat.

however, soon, he did come into the classroom.

"Miyamoto-kun, you are very late. I hope you have a good explanation."

Takato smiled sheepishly.

"Sorry Sensei, it wont happen again. I, got injured, and had to go to hospital. See?" He held up his hand and it showed a cut. Surprised, the Sensei lowered her eyes. "I would have called, but I had to get it taken care of."

"A-Ah, I see. It does look quite the wound. Yes, please sit down."

Takato nodded in thanks, and moved to sit down.

Ise watched the boy move, and looked at his hand. It did look very harsh and real.

But as he walked past her, she saw that it was...peeling?

Yes, it was peeling off a little bit, and underneath was normal skin.

That confused her even more than ever, and she didn't get a few things.

Takato however, saw Ise, and offered her a smile.

"Hey, Ise-san."

"Y-Yeah, hey...about this morning..."

She couldn't finish as the Sensei was glaring at them.

She decided to save it for herself for the moment and would bring it up when she could, that's all she could do right now.


As class finished, Takato and Ise looked at one another, as the class was moving to go out of the room. Ise, unable to hold back, walked closer to Takato, and sat down on his desk. Offering a sly smile, she looked down at him.

"About that wound..."

"Fake." He revealed dryly, and peeled it off. "Just a gag Halloween thing, good thing it looks real huh. Needed a good reason to be late."

Ise chuckled quietly, glad he genuinely wasn't hurt.

"Takato, about this morning and all, what happened with Gremory-senpai and all..."

"Yes, that's right. I'm sorry about bailing like that Ise-san, I was a little freaked out this morning, I shouldn't have left so abruptly."

Ise waved her hand, while blushing slightly.

"No, no, it's fine. Besides, I got an eyeful to last me a little while. It surely was a treat~"

Takato's cheeks tinged pink as the young woman made lewd noises towards him, and her eyes were dangling down onto his hips. He knew what she was referring too, and he felt his cheeks turn slightly red at the feeling.

"Y-You're such a pervert Ise-san, you looked at me like that when I was caught off guard...it's that damn Gremory-senpai's fault for this, she has caused trouble once more. But, even then Ise-san, before the day out...erm, the date ended, I did have the best day, it was quite enjoyable."

Ise scratched the back of her head, remembering what happened during the date, and how he made her feel. Even if it was just a friendship thing from him, it was quite the wonderful feeling that he did treat her like a proper girl, and saw past her perversion and got to know the real Isane.

"Y-Yeah, I'll never forget it, Takato."

"Fufu, when did we become so familiar that not even an honorific needs to be used?"

Takato lightly teased the girl, and couldn't help but poke the young girls reddening cheek.

"A-Ah! That's just….mehehehe, I am sorry about that and all, I just thought after everything we've been through together, it would be fine..."

Takato smiled softly, and then shrugged his shoulders.

"It's okay with me, I remember what happened when I was stabbed. You cried for me, Ise-san. Truly, you're a weird girl. You could have gotten away, but you chose to stay beside me, and tried to help me. I don't understand why you did."

"Eeeh, did it need explaining? We were on a date, and you did all that to protect me..." Ise's hand lightly cupped his own that rested on the table, the pair held redness on their cheeks. "It was one of the manliest...no, the manliest thing that anyone has ever done for me before. Thank you, Takato."

It was times like this that Isane truly shone. Under all the perverted acts she did, she was a genuinely lovely person. And Takato could always see that. The fact that she was as kind and caring as she was, he almost forgot that he was a Devil for a few seconds.

But it still echoed in his mind that he would always be a Devil now.

"A-Ah, don't say such things Ise-san, I'll blush."

"Hehe, that's fine you're so adorable when you blush~"

She sang out, and actually, Takato thought that she was flirting with him.

Also, he couldn't understand why she seemed to be okay with the fact that she was a Devil. He was sure she knew now. But she still seemed like the cheery Isane that he always knew. Heck, even a little more freer than he knew she was.

But why that was, he didn't know, it was a complete mystery to someone like him that she would be totally okay with any of this, while he was slightly freaking out inside due to what he was now, and how he was going to get through life.

"Either way Ise-san, I am genuinely happy that you're okay. I was so worried...in a weird way, Gremory-senpai answered my wish."

"Wish?"

Ise didn't know what he was talking about.

So he clued her in.

"Yes, that's right, Ise-san. I wished that you would be saved."

Ise's heart skipped a beat.

He, wished for her to be safe?

To be saved?

"R-Really? You wished for my own safety?"

"...It was my fault you got into a situation like that. It tore me up that you were going to die because of me, I couldn't take it. Thinking back now, it seemed crazy, but now that I am thinking about it, if I didn't make that wish, maybe we wouldn't be here."

"Haha! It seems like you saved us both Takato!"

Becoming more bold, her arms wrapped around his neck, and her large breasts pushed against his face. Even more than before, his cheeks danced with the colour red. But she didn't care, and pushed his face into her surprisingly large cleavage.

The girls that liked Takato watched on and gave narrow eyes.

"She even thinks to hug him like that…?"

"Ewwww, the Prince can't be hugged by her like that..."

"Who does she think she is?"

Having heard the words of the various people, Takato didn't like it, so he hugged her back. Isane couldn't be more surprised, but she didn't care, and held onto the young man's body as well. She was going to get as much as she could. If he chose to be affectionate. She definitely was going to receive the affection right back.

"I am glad you're okay, Ise-san. I'm glad that if one thing good came out of that, is that you didn't die."

Ise felt the beat erupt in her heart.

Like the world was standing still.

It didn't matter.

He didn't care.

All that did matter was the fact that he was saying sweet words to her.

And that caused her feelings to only intensify.

"T-Takato, saying such words to me, you truly are trying to make me fall for you."

"Whaaa? N-No, I wasn't! I was just-"

Ise giggled a rather sweet and perverted giggle at the same time.

"It's fine, my hero."

"Don't call me that Ise-san, I'm not anyone's hero."

Ise, to his ever surprise, shook her head, and showed a resolute face.

"No, you are my hero, Takato. You saved me from dying...alone, I died with you, and I am alive because of you. Thank you, Takato, I truly do...I am glad that if I was going to die...it was beside you, and no one else..."

Maybe it was corny, she didn't care.

All that she did care for was how he received her feelings.

And knowing that she was expressing such feelings, Takato's hand eclipsed her own and held onto it, not caring what others said. He pulled Ise's desk closer to his own so she could sit down, and the pair held one another's hands in the classroom, for the people who liked either of them, it was devastating to say the least.

"You're...holding my hand, Takato..."

"Hehe, you did it with mine when we were on our date, right Ise-san~?"

Ise shyly looked away, and Takato smiled gently, glad that at least, he still could act like a normal person as a Devil.


That afternoon, after class had finished, Ise, and Takato looked at one another with a small smile. Aika, who had seen everything that happened today, walked closer to them, and bent down towards Isane's level.

"Why is it that you're acting as if you and Takato-kun there are seeing one another?"

Takato, thanks to his now Devil hearing, could hear the conversation and listened in.

"Fufu, well, I've seen it Aika."

"Huh? Seen what?"

Ise's smile turned even more perverted, and gestured to Takato subtly.

"I've seen 'it' up close."

"N-No freaking way! You've seen 'it'?! What was 'it' like?! Is it as big as I thought!?"

"Hahaha, it was even bigger than you imagined!"

"No way! You're lying! You couldn't have seen it after a single date!"

"It's true, I saw it! The naughty part of Takato!"

"Wait! You're even calling him 'Takato' now!?"

Isane couldn't help the sly smile on her face, while Takato held bemusement.

"That's right, he said that I could, so I am going to do that now! And we've held hands, and everything! We almost kissed as well!"

Takato thought that was stretching it a bit, since they never went for the kiss. Well, he never did. She might have tried, but he wouldn't have, as he was unsure of a few things right now.

"You can't be telling the truth! That's got to be a lie!"

"It isn't! I've seen everything! His small butt! His huge penis! Everything! His tight hips as well! And his chest! And his stomach! All of it was a sight for me to behold! I couldn't even make this up either! I am such a lucky woman! Even if I never see it again, it is forever burned into my mind and my soul about this now!"

Aika looked completely devastated, but Takato couldn't help but be amused by what she was saying. It sounded so funny to his ears. Even though he did feel embarrassed that she was speaking about his private parts at all.

However, that ended when Yumi walked into the room. For the males, the Princess of the school was a very lovely sight to see.

"Aaah, Takato-kun and-"

"What do you want?"

Ise shot at Yumi who looked troubled on how to respond.

"Ise-san, be nice, Kiba-san hasn't done anything wrong."

Ise was ticked off, she didn't like Takato defending Yumi at all.

"Grrr! Takato, don't defend her! She's a big offender!"

"Offender of what?"

Ise grumbled something but even Yumi and Takato couldn't work out what she was saying.

Yumi then looked towards Takato.

"Erm, Takato-kun, Buchou sent me towards you and Hyoudou-san here so I could bring you to the Occult Club Room. Would you please follow me?"

"...Even you Kiba-san? You're under Gremory-senpai as well?"

It saddened him, that even a supposed friend of his, was a Devil.

"Y-Yes, that's right...I'm sorry, for not telling you Takato-kun. It wasn't my intention or anything, but since you were...I couldn't say anything. Truthfully, I didn't want you to become involved in this sort of life."

From her words, Takato could believe them.

That she truly was sorry for lying to him.

But, he still was hurt, that for so long they knew one another, he was being lied too every single day.

"...It's fine, I'm learning a lot about a lot of people recently."

Yumi could hear the hurt, and upset that was within his voice.

But, she didn't know what she was going to do after this.

"W-Well, would you like to follow after me, please?"

"Sure, I want to find out a few things." Ise didn't look like she wanted to follow after Yumi, so Takato stuck out his hand. "Ise-san, lets go and find out what we are, okay?"

"...I suppose."

Ise took Takato's hand (mostly because she just wanted to) and followed after Yumi. Ise also noticed that Yumi's jealousy slightly spiked when their hands came into contact with one another's, and she enjoyed that feeling. That she, Ise, could make the Princess of the school, jealous of many different things.

They walked towards the Old School Building. Whispers of Ise, and Takato hand holding goes through the corridors as they walked. Takato's mind was too preoccupied by what was going on to even take notice, and he also held his bag on his shoulder as well, just in case anything went down south quickly.

Surrounded by trees, they ended up at the path to the Occult Club's school building. The abandoned building that wasn't ever used by anyone other than the Occult Club. Now thinking about it, Takato saw it as quite the cover.

Being researchers of the paranormal to the school, while being paranormal themselves.

It made perfect sense.

However, as they walked, those red eyes were looking out of the first floor window once more.

The eyes, focused in on Takato, and he sensed it.

He didn't get why he could, but he could feel the eyes of the red on him.

Looking swiftly to the building...he didn't see anything.

He paused his body and inspected the area that he thought that he was being looked upon.

When noticing that he was fluttering his eyes, Ise stopped as well, and walked backwards.

"Is something wrong Takato?"

Takato looked at the window once more, and Yumi did the same thing as well, and didn't see anything, but knew something.

"Takato-kun, did you see something?"

"Oh...each time I walk past here, I swear someone would be watching me."

Yumi's eyes displayed a slight bit of panic.

"O-Oh, it must be your imagination Takato-kun. Don't worry, it is all right now. Lets go inside, and you can have some answers."

Takato's eyes darted to the young girls eyes, and saw that she seemed to be a little bit worried.

"Is something wrong Kiba-san?"

"W-Why would there be?"

"You're looking nervous. Tell me, what's wrong?"

Yumi shook her head.

"Really. There's nothing wrong Takato-kun, we should be going. Buchou is going to be here soon."

"Soon? She's not here yet?"

Yumi giggled awkwardly, and just said "She's getting a few things ready." before walking to the old school building.

"Come on Takato, lets find something's out."

"Yeah, lets."

Takato followed after with Ise.

However, once Takato looked away from the window, the same red eyes looked back towards him once more. Takato felt the eyes on him. It was cold, piercing. But he couldn't look. If he did, he would swear that he would be going crazy.

Waking inside, Yumi said "Follow me," and walked to the left. On the walls, there were a number of complicated seals on the walls. Walking through narrow corridors, Takato thought it was overly complicated for an old building.

But they found stairs, and walked up them.

As they did, Takato felt the eyes following him once more.

He felt like they were watching him from behind.

But they couldn't, right?

They couldn't be following him and yet, they were. Somehow, they truly were following him and he didn't even know what he was going to do now.

"Right, there's something following us."

"What!?"

Ise panicked, while Yumi waved her hands in a calming manner.

"Takato-kun, you're imagining things."

"No, I'm freaking not! I feel it, there's something behind us!"

Yumi walks back briefly, and looks behind Takato. He didn't know if she was being genuine or not, but she did have a look.

"There's nothing here Takato-kun. Maybe it is because it's an old building, maybe you think there's something following us?"

Takato didn't believe it, he knew there was something going on.

"If you say so...but, I'm sure that there's something following us..."

While looking wry, he continued onwards.


Finally, they reached a door up the stairs. It looked to be quite a magnificent type of door. It seemed to be made from something other than normal wood. But Takato didn't know what kind of wood, it just didn't register to him. And he looked to the side, seeing next to the door the words [Occult Research Club] while Takato looked on through unsure eyes.

"So...why is there a sign outside?"

"What do you mean Takato-kun?"

Yumi asked innocently, but Takato pulled closer.

"Because, you all know it is your club, no one else is gonna come here unless you bring them. So, who is the sign for?"

"You know, I've never thought about it. I suppose it's just there for fashion."

"Some fashion." Growled Ise beside Takato. "By the way, Kiba. Mind stepping back away from Takato?"

"E-Eh? What do you mean Ise-san?"

"You know, you're always flirting with Takato here, maybe he doesn't like it."

"B-But, I don't do that."

Yumi shot back at the accusation, and Ise went to respond, but Takato got between them, and pointed at the door.

"In here, Buchou's club meets in here, right? The one you call Buchou anyway."

"Yes, you're right Takato-kun, let us go inside."

Takato and Ise waited with bated breaths as the door opened.

Slowly, but surely, the door did open and revealed the interior.

There are weird signs and words in every area of the classroom. The floor. The walls and the ceiling. They are all covered with weird signs. And the one which stands out the most is the circle drawn at the centre of the room. It looks like a magic-circle that takes up most of the space in this room. But the symbols didn't mean a thing to Takato, nor Ise. They just looked like witchcraft, or magic, or something. Even in the corners, there were some tables and chairs, and at the back, there was a semi large desk fit for a teacher, or a person who was in charge with a chair behind him. To the left and right, there were a few couches.

"Nice...Occult stuff, going heavy with the sacrificial stuff huh."

"Hmmm?"

Takato points to the side where it was shown 'something' was in a bag.

"If you tell me a body is inside..."

"No, don't be silly Takato-kun. That's just some creature that Buchou likes. It is a delicacy among the Devils."

"Great, and it is bleeding...freshly killed?"

Yumi chuckled nervously, and quickly wiped the blood away.

"No, it isn't anything really. Buchou's dinner, fresh from the butchers."

"Don't they usually freeze those things?"

"This is very fresh."

Yumi responded to Ise who asked.

Takato, shuddered and looked around the room, and saw that on the couch, there was a small girl. A loli girl at that, with white hair, and her eyes were like fresh gold, and yet, they were sharp like a cats as well.

She was eating some chocolate, and Ise had moved closer, drooling.

"No, none for you perverted Senpai."

The girl slapped Ise's hand away and she made a whine.

"That's not nice."

"...Neither is spying on the boys."

"Fufu, she got you Ise-san~"

Takato chuckled out, Ise turning back to him with a pout.

"Takato! She wont even give me any! How rude, right?"

"Well, they're her sweets, we can get some later or something, right?"

"Yeah, you're right..."

Takato looked on at the young girl who ate her food. Her eyes wouldn't leave his form, and he felt odd inside of himself.

"Is, something wrong?"

The young loli shook her head, and didn't say anything but did watch on with keen and interested eyes.

Takato murmured "Okay..." and looked around. Even though he was worried, he also found it rather fascinating if nothing else. His eyes then went towards Koneko and a mischievous grin appeared on his face.

He walked over, and produced a lolly.

"A lolly, for the loli. Get it?"

The white haired loli blinked.

She did it again.

She did it for the third time, and took the lolly from him.

"I want the lolly, but that was a terrible joke."

Takato's sweat dropped from his head.

"...I thought that it was funny. Loli, lolly, it sounds so similar that...whatever. My jokes are funny."

The young girl gave Takato a rather strange, yet slightly bemused look.

"Senpai, you're odd."

"Yes, so I've been told many times."

Takato muttered under his breath.

"By the way, Hyoudou-san, Takato-kun. That was Koneko Toujou-chan, she's a first year."

Yumi introduced her, and Koneko nodded her head.

"...Pleased to meet you weirdly fun Senpai, and not pleased to meet you perverted Senpai."

"Hey! I'm your Senpai! Show respect!"

Ise growled while Koneko just blankly stared on.

Takato chuckled awkwardly, placing his hands on Ise's shoulders.

"Calm down Ise-san, it's alright."

Ise used this excuse to wrap her arms around his neck, and fall against him. He awkwardly held onto her back, and petted the back of her head. She snuggled against the crook of his neck, using all of the chances to herself.

Her eyes also shot blades for Yumi who looked troubled on what to do next.

"Ufufu, Yumi-chan, it seems that Hyoudou-chan there is taking advantage of Miyamoto-kun's kindness~"

Suddenly, Akeno's voice rang out. Takato looked towards her who was currently stood near some tea as well. Her eyes danced with bemusement, and her body was twitching for some reason. Since he was stood with his back to her, he couldn't see where she was looking, but wherever it was, it wasn't his top half.

"...She totally is."

Koneko added into the conversation, biting her food.

Ise would dispute that, but they were right, and she didn't want to let go, so she didn't say anything and just held onto him.

"That's apart of the perverted girls charm~ But, to have Miyamoto-kun all to yourself, you're a bad girl Hyoudou-chan." Akeno walked closer, and showed a grin on her face. "By the way, it seems you have come as well, Miyamoto-kun? Have you decided to be a good boy today…?" Her body got close, so close that he could feel her large breasts on his body, Ise growled but Akeno didn't care. "Or, do you want to be a bad boy? I like, punishing my bad boys."

"Eeeeh!" Takato pulled away, Akeno giggling away, Ise felt sad that she wasn't in his embrace anymore. "N-No, I'm good, don't need the Devils punishment."

"But, I want too~ I want to put you over my knee, and give your butt a spanking~ Or maybe you could do that to me fufufu~"

Takato made an X with his arms.

"Access denied!"

Akeno ran a hand up her breast, he was sure that she was teasing him. Her fingers brushed against her breast, and because it was so large, his eyes were drawn there. Akeno, knowing that he seemed to like her chest, made it a clear point to speak with her chest outwards.

"Now, now, simmer down Miyamoto-kun, don't be a bad boy. You're the first boy that's ever graced us here. It would be sad if you didn't come to me, and we hold one another, would it? Or maybe, I should give you a spanking fufufufu~ I've never spanked a boy before, care to be my subject partner?"

While her words and body were sexy, the way that he took it was frightening. He shook his head, as the door opened, revealing Rias there who looked to be puffing away as if she had done something fantastic and whimsical.

"S-Sorry I'm late, I've finished my duties now."

"Where have you been?"

Ise promptly asked the young red head, who inhaled a good lung of oxygen.

"I had a few errands to run, but it seems that everyone is here. Now, if you'd like to sit down, I'll begin explaining a few things. That's what you came here for, right?"

"Well, I came here to know if there's a way to reverse the Devils procedure."

Rias drew a blank face.

"Eh? What?"

"I said, is there a way to turn back to being a human?"

"Well, no. You're a Devil now, you can't change back."

Takato inhaled once more, and felt his eyes burning slightly.

The thought of never turning back.

He didn't even realize he had been sat down and Ise was hugging his arm as well. Yumi sat beside him on the other side to Ise's ire, and Akeno sat down with Rias on the opposing couch as well. Finally Koneko sat down behind Takato and the others, seemingly keeping out of the conversation all together.

"Now that you've sat down, let us begin. First of all, what happened to you yesterday, happened."

"S-So, we were killed by that winged bastard with the small dick then?"

"How do you know he has a small….erm, thing?"

Rias asked with an embarrassed face.

"Fufu, he had too because he wasn't very flattering at all."

Takato looked curiously towards Ise who was chuckling perversely. Koneko sighed from behind her, and murmured "Why the pervert…?" in a truly depressing voice that even Takato had to admit was quite depressing.

"Erm...yeah, well, okay. Either way, the person who killed you yesterday was a Fallen Angel, and his name is Dohnaseek."

"He killed us...he said something about having something inside of us..."

Takato muttered, trying to come to terms with the fact that he was a Devil now. Before, at least he had a little hope that he could be returned to a human. But now, he knew that he wouldn't be able to be brought back either. That depressed him more than anything else that had happened to him...well, not entirely true.

"That's right. To cut it short, the Devils, the Angels, and the Fallen Angels have been at war with one another for a long time now. And now, we're in a stalemate of sorts. So, we are on a camels….camels...yes, we're on the back of those dreaded creatures, the straw, and if it breaks..."

"Eeeeh, I don't understand what you're trying to say!"

Ise cried out, so Takato, who had been following it pretty well, gave a summary.

"Basically, she's saying that we shouldn't pick fights with the Fallen Angels, or the Angels, and hopefully, they'll leave us alone, right Senpai?"

Rias nodded her head.

"Basically, if they have common sense. Causing a war is the last thing that we'd want."

"But again, why did they come here exactly? Why for us? What's inside of us that they wanted?"

"Your Sacred Gear's."

"Sacred Gear's..."

It was a foreign word to Takato.

But, he felt like he had heard it before.

He couldn't remember where he had heard it though.

"Yes, that's right. For special people, only a select few humans can wield them, or rather, are born with them."

"No, no, no! Senpai! I'm sorry, I'm an idiot, and I don't understand what's going on!"

Because she was confused, Ise had to speak up. Takato, who had been following, this time didn't say anything and only looked on with a weird gaze.

Yumi then speaks up.

"Sacred Gear is an irregular power that is bestowed to certain humans. For example, most of the people whose names are recorded in history are said to be possessors of a Sacred Gear. They used the power of their Sacred Gear to record their name in history."

"Presently, there are people who possess Sacred Gears within their bodies. You know those people who play an important role worldwide? Most of those people possess a Sacred Gear."

Akeno continues after Yumi, and then Rias finishes it off.

"Most of the Sacred Gears have functions that are only usable in the human society. But there are exceptional Sacred Gears that are a threat to us, the Devils, and Fallen Angels. Now-"

"Before that." Takato interrupted. "Gremory-senpai, why did you reincarnate me?"

"Well, because..."

"Because of my Sacred Gear, right?" Rias didn't say anything. "This Sacred Gear thing that is inside of me, is the reason you brought me, and Ise-san here back from the dead, right?" Again, Rias didn't say anything. "I've read online about Devils."

"Well, you shouldn't really trust everything you read online. I mean, look at the book Twilight, no Vampire sparkles."

"And you know this because….?"

Rias adopted a small blush on her cheeks due to the embarrassment she felt.

"B-Because I happen to know a Vampire."

"Great, so not only Devils, but Vampire's exist as well. What's next? A freaking Dragon?"

"Well actually..."

"Okay, forget I asked." Deflecting from that, Takato breathed in and out. "Why did you save me?"

"Didn't you already ask that?"

Rias curiously asked, but Takato stood up.

"I asked for Ise-san to be saved, I never asked for myself to be saved."

Rias and the others looked on in confusion.

"...Why does it sound like you're depressed that you were saved?"

"You turned me into a Devil. Once Devils die, they can't go to Heaven, right?" Rias sadly nods. "So...I'm never going to see my loved ones again. I'm never going to see my Obaa-chan again...the people that cared, and loved me...and I am a Devil, an evil creature."

"We're not all evil."

Rias defended, but Takato ran his hands through his hair, and breathed hard.

"Even then, you made me into a Devil. I never said that I wanted that. Maybe some people are cool with beings servants to a Devil, but I'm not one of them. You had no right to deny me an afterlife, and force me into slavery."

"Hold on a second."

Takato looked Rias directly in the eye, and he showed a depressed face, she could swear that even tears might be forming.

"You don't understand, do you? This morning, you told me that I am your servant, I'm a Devil, and now you're saying I was killed because I had something inside of me that the Fallen Angels wanted to get rid of along with Ise-san, and you can't guarantee me that I or she wont be attacked again by the Fallen Angels. If I came to you, and said "You're my servant now, you're a Devil as well. Heaven, nope, you're not going there, you can't ever see your loved ones again. By the way Fallen Angels, and possibly Angels might try and kill you again for something you have no control over." how would you take it? Because I think I'm doing pretty well under the circumstances. I'm not screaming, I'm not lashing out angrily, I'm...confused about my life now. I'm terrified of what my life is now, and what it means to be a Devil, and a slave to someone I don't even know."

Rias' eyes went down towards the ground sadly.

She hadn't considered that he wouldn't want to be brought back. And what he said, were valid points. Thinking about it normally, what he said made sense, and if she was in his shoes, she probably would be freaking out as well, so she could understand the confusion that was going on inside.

Takato shook his head, and walked towards the door.

"Takato, wait!"

Ise tried to stop him, but he paused.

"Ise-san, I'm glad you're alive, your parents would be glad as well. For me though, I...this isn't a life I would want. I hope that it is for you, and I hope you are happy. I didn't think that it would turn out like this, I didn't know that you'd turn into a Devil, and if you didn't want that, I am sorry about what happened, and if you're fine with it, I'm happy for you...but, I'll never see Obaa-chan again now. That's the only comfort I ever had. I have to go now, and think for a while."

Takato walked to the door, and Rias walked closer.

"Wait a second, you can't just walk away. We have things we need to..." Suddenly, with it wrapped in cloth, Takato pulled out a cross, and pointed it at Rias. "Aaaaah!" Rias backed away at the sight of the cross, and wondered why he was able to hold it, even with a cloth, as well as he was doing. "Why do you have a cross!?"

"Protection. I read about Devils, and their weaknesses. Seems like the internet wasn't fully lying. It seems like crosses aren't your friend, I've also got some holy water as well. So, don't follow me. Let me be alone and think about what's happening with my life now. What you've turned me into...the prospect of never being able to go to Heaven...I'll never see them again..."

Takato finished off weak, and walked out of the room.

"Buchou, should we go after him?"

Akeno looked on and wondered, Rias shook her head.

"No...leave him alone for now. I didn't think I...did I do the wrong thing…? Even though I brought him back...maybe I..."

"I'm glad you did." Ise spoke up, surprising Rias, and the others. "If you hadn't, and only saved me, I wouldn't have forgiven you, and I know it would have been the same if you only saved him and left me to die. But you saved him...he'll eventually come around. Haha, it's Takato, he always bounces back."

"My, you have such faith in him."

Rias couldn't help but notice, Isane showed a slight smile.

"Because I've seen Takato have setbacks as well, he always comes back from it. He'll be fine."

Isane seemed to truly believe that eventually, Takato would be okay. But she had to admit that he did look rather down when she saw him.


Taking a walk seemed to be for the right business right now.

He needed time to think, to think about many things.

Being a Devil, it seemed like it was nonsense.

And now, that he was...how could he even ever think about his loved ones again…?

He truly wished that a certain someone would come back, as he was really needing her presence right now.

She always seemed to know when it was right, and wrong.

Always, when she was with him, he seemed to be a happier person.

But now…

Being a Devil, returning to nothingness.

As he walked by the park, he remembered when he had died. The same place seemed undisturbed. He thought that it would at least show a little disturbance, but no, nothing at all. That's what shocked him...then he thought about the Devils, and how they cleaned it up probably, it made sense to him.

Sitting down at the fountain, he looked down into it, and saw his reflection.

"What am I going to do Obaa-chan…? I'm a Devil now...I wont ever see you again...I wont ever be able to tell you how sorry I am...and now, maybe she wont ever want to look at the Devil me ever again...can Devils and humans be friends…? Be in love...?"

He was glad no one was around, as it would look odd for the boy to speak to himself like he was.

But he wouldn't care either way.

His eyes shed a single tear, which rippled in the water.

It went through the entire body of water, and he couldn't help but wipe his eye.

"Awwwww, that's so adorable. A Devil crying."

Takato's eyes widened, turning to the back of him, and saw Raynare (who he believes is Yuuma) standing there. This time, she wore a BDSM outfit. It showed off everything that she had. Her curves, her large breasts, and her slim waist as well.

"Go away...I know you're apart of those Fallen Angels."

Raynare's eyes sharpened.

"And I know you've been turned into a Devil. I can sense it. So, Dohnaseek didn't even end you, huh. It seems that the Devils in this town had even brought you back. Damn, what is your Sacred Gear? That's all the Devils care for, you know?"

"Yeah, whatever. That's the least of my worries."

Raynare's eyes fluttered slightly.

"Fucking hell, you sound super depressed. What's wrong with you? You're alive...well, for the moment anyway."

"You don't care about me, so even if I told you, you'd only laugh anyway."

Raynare rolled her eyes, as Takato looked to the left hand side.

Seeing that there was a path there, he thought about making a break for it.

"Maybe I would like to know? It would be for my amusement, you know? You already had me hit by a car, and another car."

"Too bad a third car didn't hit you, and a fourth car."

Takato snickered out, Raynare's eyes sharpened harshly.

"So, you've got your wise cracks even now? Heh, you wont have them forever, you know?"

"Probably, who knows how many wise cracks I can think of. There's only a little bit of things that can be done. So, if you aren't going to-"

Raynare formed a spear of light, and threw it at him. At that moment, instincts kicked in, and his body moved to the side. Somehow, he felt a little faster, and stronger, and he could see the spear. Even then, his arm was still cut by the spear of light and the poisonous light seeped into the wound, causing an "Aaaaaaah!" to escape his mouth.

Raynare pulled closer.

"I'm a Fallen Angel, light is a specialty of mine. I can form very sturdy and strong spears of my light, and they are very effective against Devils. So even if you try and run away, it wont work, so you might as well stop trying."

Takato got into a fighting position, even if he had a wound, he wasn't going to go down easily.

Raynare chuckled light heartedly.

"Funny, a Devil for a day and you think you can take on the world?"

"I'm no chump Fallen Angel. You can't silence me with your words and other things. Even your light as well, eat it or something because I am not going to be dying again today."

Raynare summoned two spears of light in her hand, and threw them to the sides of Takato. He pulled back as Raynare moved closer. Using her fluttery wings, she pulled closer, and aimed a sword of light at Takato's neck.

"Dohnaseek said you knew how to fight, so I am not taking chances. Tch, stupid Dohnaseek, he thinks he is so fucking cool, you know? Been there have you?"

"Most definitely."

He muttered as Raynare began going on a tangent.

"Exactly, ugh, Dohnaseek is such a..."


Twenty minutes later, Raynare was still going on her tangent, and he by now was sat at the fountain, having a bored look on his face, his hands were open and his chin rested on them, his elbows on his knees.

"...And then he has the nerve to be like "Azazel-sama doesn't matter!" I mean, what the fuck!? It is Azazel-sama! You can't deny him! He's our leader, and he's obsessed with Kokabiel! Sure, Kokabiel-sama is also a leader, but he's no Azazel-sama! He's so cool and charismatic and lovely, and beautiful and everything that Kokabiel-sama simply isn't! You know!?"

Raynare continued on, and on and on...

Takato thought "Just kill me and get it over with already." as he sat there, feigning interest in what she was saying.

Raynare, in the middle of her ranting, noticed that Takato wasn't listening, and was now eating and drinking cola.

"Oi! I'm speaking here! Listen to me now! Where did you get the cola!?"

"What…?" He looked up to see Raynare's sharp eyes on him. "Oh, sorry, I was thinking of something else, what were you saying? This cola is nice huh, while you were speaking, I got some from that vending machine over there."

He pointed to the side.

Raynare became livid.

"You fucking what!? I've been talking about my life story and you're like "Oh, I'm so cool I don't have to listen and drink cola!" fucking Bishounen-sama's, I have half a mind to end you right now!"

"Your petty problems can be solved by yourself, you can't just sit back and watch things happen."

"You don't know anything about me!"

"Are you sure? Because for the last..." He looked at his watch. "Twenty five minutes now, I've got to know how you fell from Heaven, how you fell in love with this Azazel, and how you don't like your friend Dohnaseek even though he's more powerful than you, your words not mine, and you think Kalawarner, whoever the hell that is, is a stuck up cow, and Mittelt is a useless loli. After that, I just lost interest to be honest with you. I could write a book about your life, because you even described what your favourite food is and where you like to sleep, and what side of the bed! What do you want from me exactly?"

Raynare's eyes rapidly blinked, trying to comprehend what the hell just happened.

"I want someone to vent on!"

"Well, vent then, because you're gonna kill me soon, right? Like your Fallen Angel buddy?"

Raynare showed a superior smile.

"But of course. But before you die, you should know about your killer."

"Well, I didn't know about the first one, so why should I learn about the second? You think your life is crappy, you can change it. My options, are, be a slave of a red headed Devil, and live my life out as a Devil which I don't even know what that means, and not have any prospect of going to Heaven to meet up with my loved ones again, or to die for something I had no control over! I didn't ask for this damn Sacred Gear! Yet, I was killed over it! I don't even know what it does! What possible threat could someone like me be to you people?! Come on, tell me! Because, I don't get why you people decided to kill Ise-san and myself! Because we had Sacred Gears!? What's so special about my Gear huh?! Tell me because I don't freaking know anymore! You wanna compare terrible situations, well I think I've got you beat! You can do something about yours, what choice do I have?! Slavery or death from either you, or something else! Come on, tell me!"

Raynare was taken aback.

She hadn't expected him to blow up like that.

He always seemed so gentle, and shy.

Yet, it was like his world...no, it was completely flipped on his head. A normal person wouldn't be able to suddenly accept it, and she could see why he was freaking out the way he was. In a way, she could see that he was kinda right about their situations. She wasn't a slave to anyone, she was a free agent for the most part. She belonged to the Fallen Angels, but she wasn't tied down to anyone truly.

"...Well, can't deny that you've got a shittier situation than I have."

"Exactly, so leave me alone."

Raynare's face dropped into a small smirk, as a spear of light formed around her hand.

"Well, I could, but it seems you're miserable, I can put you out of your misery."

"Sorry, don't feel like dying again."

Takato released a sigh, as he pulled out the cross, and held it up to Raynare.

Raynare gave it a bemused look.

"Not a Devil, so the whole cross, not gonna work."

"Yeah, I thought so." Takato threw the cross in the air, Raynare gave it a look. "I have this instead!" Suddenly, Takato whips out a knife, and with precise throwing ability, he launches it for Raynare's shoulder. "Have that!"

Raynare looks down in time, and deflects the knife with her spear of light, only for Takato to get closer to the young girl, and deliver a fist strike to Raynare' face. She tried to move out of the way, but the cross came down and Takato grabbed it, launching it into her face, giving her a mild annoyance, but that mild annoyance was all that she needed for his plan to succeed.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Raynare's face bent around his fist, and was sent down to the ground. Takato couldn't believe his strength, he felt stronger than he did as a human. He knew that when he tried that with the Fallen Angel before, he couldn't.

Was Raynare weaker?

No, it seemed like he was stronger.

He was glad that he was as well, because it meant that he had a fighting chance, he wasn't going to go down without a fight.

Takato then pulled out a hairspray and a lighter as well.

"Burn baby burn."

Switching on the lighter, and the hairspray, he unleashed a flame for Raynare. Raynare protected herself by covering herself with the wings that she had. The flames brushed against her wings, and because it was only normal fire, she didn't feel that affected by it.

"Get lost you!"

Raynare flapped her wings hard, and dispelled the flames. When she looked towards Takato, he wasn't there.

Footsteps came from the side, followed by Takato's spinning foot. She moved her arms to block, but he was already close, and received a kick to the face. Raynare let out a small cry and fell over to the ground.

"Have this!"

Raynare watched on as Takato tightened his hand and aimed it downwards, sending it down with a fiery passion.

"No!"

Raynare's sword of light was formed, and she swiped from the ground. Takato moved backwards, but his leg was cut, and the poison of the light entered his system. He stumbled, yet stayed on his feet as well, and routed around in his bag.

Raynare got off the ground, and aimed her sword at him.

"Have this!"

Raynare came slashing down from the right. Takato grimaced, and knew what fighting styles he knew to manoeuvrer his fist to her wrist, and pushed it away, followed with a hard knee entering her torso.

Raynare's surprise grew from the impact, and she was forced to spit out bile. But Raynare didn't quit, and swung her sword for his neck. Moving backwards, the sword past right near his eyes, nearly cutting his eyes out.

Raynare didn't quit, and with a hard flap of her wings, she crossed the distance. Nearing the boy, she aimed her sword at his torso. Takato flipped over the sword, and over her body with his new found Devil powers, landing on the other side of Raynare, and thrusted his elbow as hard as he could backwards.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! You fucking shit!"

Raynare cried out from the impact that she received, forcing her body forwards. She let out a small cry, as Takato spun around and floored her by tripping her up from behind. She fell face down onto the ground, only for Takato to appear above her, and stomp downwards.

"Now, leave me alone!"

Raynare let out a howl, flipping herself over, and showed a dirty grin.

"No more nice girl."

Raynare formed two spears of light, and threw them upwards. At that close range, Takato could have had seconds to move, only for Raynare to capture him with her legs from moving.

"D-Damn!"

Raynare smirked at the sight, seeing Takato's arms be pierced by the light, and because of that, his entire body shook rapidly. He felt himself being sick deep inside of his own soul, but he pulled out the weapons and threw them down to the ground. His hands burned, his arms were smoking, it was so painful, and he was shamelessly bleeding.

But, Raynare noticed that, he wasn't crying.

He didn't shed a single tear, after all the pain his Devil body must be going through.

Either he was rather insane, or he was more determined than ever.

"Hahaha, for a piece of shit Devil like you to give me this much trouble. But you don't cry? That's quite interesting."

Raynare got off the ground, and kicked forward.

"Gwaaaah!"

Takato aimed to defend himself, but even with the defence, his body felt the vibrations of the kick. He hunched over, the poison of the light was eating away at his stamina. The kick was reverberating through his system, and Raynare's dirty smirk was pissing him off.

Raynare grabbed the young boy by the throat, and held him up with her strength alone.

"Dohnaseek killed you like this last time, didn't he?"

"Difference was, last time I was protecting someone, this time, I'm not."

Raynare didn't know what he meant, but then Takato pulled out the holy water, and splashed it in her eyes.

"W-What the fuck?! Water isn't going to affect me!"

"No, maybe not! But this will!"

Raynare wiped her eyes, only for Takato to slam the bottle right into her face. The glass shattered upon impact, where Takato grabbed some shards of the glass, and cut Raynare's face with it, and then rammed one of the shards into her flesh.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! What the fucking hell?!"

"Heh, always have a plan Yuuma-san, always."

Takato pulled out another item from his bag, this time it was a solution she hadn't seen before. Takato mixed it with something else that she didn't understand, and saw that whatever it was that she was seeing being made, looked to be rather dangerous.

"Wh-What the hell is that shit!?"

"You know, you can make dangerous things out of everyday ingredients, if you know how to make it that is."

Raynare glared.

"I-I'm a girl, you can't attack me."

"Normally, I'd agree, I wouldn't attack a defenseless girl, but you and I can both agree that you aren't "Just a girl." can't we? Besides, men, women, same on the battlefield, so don't pull that card with me, because yesterday, I was a human and a Fallen Angel killed me, so isn't that unfair?" Takato held the solution that now was bubbling dangerously. "So, why don't you explode you bitch!"

"Shit!"

Takato jumped back, and threw it at Raynare.

Raynare aimed her sword right towards the solution and threw it, were it was pierced, then it exploded.

"Damn it all to hell!"

Raynare went to protect herself…

But saw that it was just water.

The solution...was water?

She didn't get it.

Why did it fizz and look like it was going to explode exactly?

"Sorry not sorry!"

Takato launched himself close at Raynare's confused state. She only realized too late that he was close, and his foot planted itself into Raynare's face. The force of the kick knocked her backwards, bending her body and shock took over her system.

Then, Takato did a back flip once getting close. Raynare's neck was caught with his legs, wrapping around her.

"Get off me!"

She yelled, as he threw her towards the fountain. Raynare's body crashed through the fountain itself, Takato surprised by his newfound strength. Takato landed on the ground, on his feet, looked briefly at Raynare, knowing that he couldn't take her.

Water drenched Raynare, and she landed on the ground with a small cry escaping her lips.

"Fucking Devil! Thinking you can beat me huh?! That's it, you're fucking..." She looked towards him, only to see that he was taking off as fast as he could. "Oi! You piece of shit! Get back here! It is finally time for your final death! This time it shall be permanent!"

Raynare extended her wings, and flew after the running away Takato.

Because she could fly rather fast, she managed to catch him within a minute.

"Get back here you bastard!"

Raynare aimed her spear at him, throwing it with a precise movement.

Takato jumped forward, the spear piercing behind him as he ran into a street.

Raynare didn't care, and flew after him.

"I wont let you escape!"

Raynare yelled as Takato saw a van coming from the side.

Deciding to take a chance, he jumped over a car, and ran into the street.

Raynare gave chase, her eyes on him, and didn't hear the beeping.

Takato narrowly made it onto the pavement, as Raynare looked to the side, hearing the beeping noise.

"Oh shi-"

Raynare was hit by the van at such speeds that she went flying, her wings going inside of herself as to not draw attention to the fact that she was a supernatural being.

She cried "Iyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" as her body skidded off a car, and landed on the ground so hard that it cracked the ground. Takato grimaced, and ran away at top speeds.

Raynare felt blood trickling down her head from the wound she had received.

"D-Damn it...that fucking Bishounen-sama...this is twice now that that fucker did this to me..."

She stood up, and heard skidding noises.

Turning, she saw two cars skidding to a halt, but they didn't make it in time.

"Fucking hell! Stop you shits!"

She cried, two cars slamming into her body and pinned it to the cars. Screams could be heard, and she knew that she'd have to take care of it. She didn't care about the humans, all she cared about was the wounds that she received, and it was getting progressively worse.

While being wedged between two cars, her eyes caught the sight of Takato in the distance, saluting the young girl like a gentleman and then took off.

Her rage built inside of her, as a man came over.

"M-Miss, are you okay!?"

Raynare turned her murderous eyes towards him.

"Do I look okay to you!? I'm pinned by two cars, and was hit by a truck or a car, I'm not sure! Run now before I become angry you idiot!" The man pulled away, as Raynare lost sight of Takato. "I HATE YOU BISHOUNEN-SAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Her screams rang out, as people tried to help her.

Raynare, definitely was pissed off.


Finally, after twenty minutes of running (giving anyone wrong directions if they followed) he finally arrived home. By this point, he was panting, and blood was heavily leaking out of his arms. The wounds were real, and the poisonous light had drained his stamina.

It took all he had to not faint at that moment.

He switched on the light, and this his surprise, he was bombarded by confetti.

"Welcome to the Gremory..." Rias stood there, and saw the wounds on his body. "Ooh crap!"

Rias rushed over as he fell down to the ground. She caught him in her arms, and sat up against the wall.

"...Why are you here?"

"Because you walked off-"

"I get it, because I'm your servant, you have to know where I am."

Rias shook her head.

"Because I was concerned about you. That's why. What the hell happened?"

Rias ended off, Takato being genuinely surprised. What surprised him even more, was the fact that his living room/kitchen had been decorated spectacularly. There were banners that said "Welcome to the Gremory group Takato!" and he even saw that many foods at been laid out, and other things.

It was like it was set up for a party.

It was...sweet.

He could say something about how she had broken into his home to set this up, but he was too drained to even care about that.

More than that, he was nearly overwhelmed at the fact that someone was throwing him, of all people a party. Okay, it was for him to be a Devil, but still, he couldn't remember the last time that anyone had ever done anything for him.

"Hell...yeah, that's right, that's what happened. A Fallen Angel came and decided to finish the job as it were. But not before she decided to give me her life story."

Rias adopted a frown on her face.

"Right, I see. That's how it is, how dare the Fallen Angels touch my adorable servant. For this, if they cross paths with me, they'll surely die."

"G-Geez, what happened to not confronting the Fallen Angels to offset the balance?"

Rias grasped Takato's hand rapidly, and looked into his eyes, and he saw that there...concern within her eyes, and rage. The rage, wasn't for him. But it was for what had happened. Even he could tell that.

"Screw that, my adorable Takato has become injured. They deserve death for this injustice. If I ever catch one, I'll definitely make that person be punished for this."

"S-Since when did I become 'your Takato' exactly? And also, when did I say that you could call me by my first name?"

Rias' fingers brushed over Takato's face, and the expression on her face was rather, sexy. He couldn't deny it. Even he was a guy who was attracted to women, and it didn't help that Rias had large breasts as well, and a curvy body. Even then, it didn't determine his entire. Just because she was attractive, it didn't mean he forgot what had happened to him.

"I thought that it would be fine."

"Well, we aren't familiar enough with one another for such things."

Rias puffed out her cheeks.

"By the way, how did you get away from the Fallen Angel? It is rather impressive."

"I used things that I had to defend myself, a few tricks, and used my head is all."

Rias nodded in understanding, turning her eyes up and down his body. If he didn't know better, he could swear she was checking him out.

"Strip."

"You what!?"

Rias said it once more with her eyes in a neutral position.

"You have to strip, your body is covered in wounds, pretty serious ones. If I don't heal you soon, you could die, again."

"S-So, your healing is stripping me down and, what exactly?"

"I also strip down and we embrace one another in bed while naked, and I'll bathe you in demonic power so your wounds heal."

"Why does it sound like you're trying to have sex with me?"

Rias waved her hand.

"Don't be silly, this is me saving your life. Or, would you prefer to die? Because before, it seemed like you wanted that."

Takato turned his head to the side, and a depressed look appeared on his face.

"...My world has been turned upside down, you can't expect me to be okay with everything here. You told me you are my Master, and I am your servant, how can you expect me to be okay with that from the get go without any context at all? On top of that, don't forget the fact that Fallen Angels keep attacking me."

"Okay yes, I understand the way that it can be misconstrued." Rias looks around and then turns her eyes back to him. "I had noticed, your home is empty. Is it just you?"

"For a few years now, yeah, just me, and occasionally someone else...but, they aren't here right now. Just me most of the time."

"I can see why you're lonely." Rias lifted the boy up by his arm, and wrapped it around herself, helping him to the bedroom. "You know, maybe I didn't explain myself better before. I am your Master yes, but that doesn't mean that I am going to order you to, I don't know, carry my food to me or something. It just means, I am responsible for you, and hope you and I develop a nice close relationship. But I don't expect you to be my mindless weapon. I felt potential in you...but, I wasn't going to do turn you into my servant, because you said, you were happy."

Takato wasn't so sure.

Things were muddled in his mind, he couldn't think straight.

"Really...?"

"Yes, that's why I asked. When I saw you were dying...I felt like I had failed you, because I swore that I wouldn't allow such a fate to happen. For what it is worth, I am, sorry for what happened to you. But, I'll make your life better than what it was, however it was before, it is my promise as your Senpai."

Takato looked down at the ground, running things through his mind.

"Senpai..."

"Yes?"

Takato shook his head, and didn't say anything.

Making it to the bedroom, he sat on the bed, as Rias began taking off her shirt. His eyes glued to her form briefly, before a shy expression appeared on his face, and he turned his head to the side shyly.

"Fueee, you can look. I am your Master, I have stripped in front of all of my peerage."

"I'm a boy! Different rules!"

Rias tilted her head.

"I suppose, I've never had a male servant before. Even then, how different can it be to have a male servant? Well, I could always have you dress up for me~" She played off with a joking tone. Seeing his deadpan look, she gave a chuckle of awkwardness. "That was a joke. Now, take off your clothes Takato."

"Hey I never said you could call me that."

He rasped out shyly.

"You're so cute, Takato. Don't be shy. Ise said it was one of your qualities, and I tend to agree, you're the most cute when you're shy."

Rias snickered, standing up, and dropped her skirt, revealing her panties. His eyes widened, a dark blush running over his face indicated what he was truly feeling right now. Rias placed a hand on her bra, and undid it, revealing her breasts towards him.

"W-What are you doing!?"

"You've seen my breasts before, don't act like that. Come on, take off your clothes. I don't want you to die again, I can't revive you twice."

Takato didn't know.

He didn't want to strip.

But the alternative was, dying.

He didn't want to die either.

So he shyly turned to her.

"...Look away."

"I already saw your-"

"Look away!"

He yelled, causing Rias to giggle "How cute." and did as he asked.

Takato slipped out of his clothes, and got under the covers. He still wasn't sure if this was a true thing. He couldn't get why they had to be naked to do this.

"Are you done?"

"...Y-Yes, I am."

Rias turned back towards him, and shamelessly dropped her panties. He snapped his eyes shut before he could see her vagina, but she found it adorable, and got into the bed.

"I'm under the covers now, come here Takato."

His eyes looked towards her, and saw that she was. But her breast weren't. They were on display for his eyes only, and he had to wonder how many people she truly was comfortable doing this with. He couldn't imagine doing this normally with someone he hardly knew.

"...I'm comfortable at this distance."

Rias shook her head, moved closer. She took his head, and placed it on her breast. His cheeks turned the colour of her hair, and his eyes fell close, he couldn't stand to look or something weird might happen.

Rias ran a hand through his blonde hair, as she and he were covered in a red aura.

"As I said, we have to embrace for the healing to take affect."

"...How long?"

"All night."

She answered to his eternal worries.

Takato didn't know what to do, and just stayed on her large breast, wondering what his life was going to turn out to be now. He didn't even register that he was having his hair stroked by the red headed woman either.

"In there...you were going to throw me a party?"

Takato broke the silence between the two of them that they had after a few minutes of no speaking.

"That's right."

"Why?"

He couldn't fathom why a girl he didn't know, would even bother to do that. Especially as he had snapped at her, something he disliked when he did it, as it wasn't him to blame someone else for his problems.

"Because you're my family member now."

"F-Family?"

Rias inclined her head, and explained.

"You're apart of my family now. Whether you like it or not, you are going to be adorned by me. You, and everyone else. But I might give you special attention because you are adorable, and totally like my soulmate."

"S-Soulmate?"

Rias' eyes produced stars, and she looked around with renewed excitement.

"Looking at this bedroom, I can see first additions of manga, and special figures that I didn't even think existed! Yes, even the hug pillows, and the various posters as well! It seems like you have a thing for anime, and I do as well! It is actually a passion of mine! And to see such a collection, clearly this was fate that happened for us to come together! Naturally, we are soulmates because of our shared love, and passion for anime!"

"Are you a Japanophile?"

He deadpanned, Rias shrugged.

"I'm something alright. But the more important thing is, I don't want us to be enemies. I don't want you to be in a situation like this where you'll be bait for the Fallen Angels. While we play by the rules, they might not. And it could lead to problems."

"Hah, and think yesterday my biggest problem was where to go out with Ise-san."

Rias allowed a small laugh to escape her throat.

"Yes, it does seem like that. By the way, what I said before about the family, is true. You are apart of my family now, you aren't alone anymore. I'll personally make sure of it. Even if you push me away, I'll be welcoming you with open arms."

Something inside of himself, wanted to believe her.

But, he had been messed around with too many times.

How could he believe it again?

If he placed his trust in someone else, could he truly allow himself to feel like that again?

So many questions and he didn't have the answers.

"Senpai, I don't want to admit it but..."

"Are you frightened of being a Devil?"

Takato shook his head.

"...My head is a mess right now, sorry for dumping all of my emotional baggage on you, no matter how upset and angry I was and even if some of it was true, I shouldn't have taken it out on you."

"No, you made valid points. I should have explained myself better, but I promise that I'll do my best. How about, we meet half way, a little, give and take?"

"Can't you just order me since I'm your servant?"

"I could, but I don't want to. I want to adore all of my peerage members, besides it would be the right way to go about it. So how about that deal?"

"...Yeah, that sounds good."

For now, it seemed like this was going to be the best deal he could have, so he was going to take it.

Even though his heart ached at the prospect of not being human anymore, nor having the chance to go to Heaven, he had to tackle this new challenge head on. He was a Devil, he couldn't change it. So rather than mope, he was going to take this on full throttle and do his best, while thinking about his future, this was his new future.

And right now, he laid there, and allowed her to heal his wounds.

So, he stayed in the embrace of the Devil, having survived his first encounter with the Fallen Angels, next time, would he be so lucky?

Only time was going to tell…


End chapter!

So, we got Takato's, somewhat introduction to life as a Devil. Unlike canon Ise who seemed to be pretty cool about being a Devil, Takato on the other hand is completely shocked. And being attacked by Raynare, being called a servant and other things didn't help. But slowly, and surely, we'll see him grow into accepting his new life as a Devil, and Rias is going to be helping there, showing softer sides to herself, and showing a somewhat friendship developing between them.

Now, for the Sacred Gear, it seems to be quite, the mix honestly in the reviews/Pm's, and what not. I thought one would steamroll the others, but to my surprise, there were a few ideas, even things I didn't think of. So, I'll put them here, and whichever combination gets the most votes, that's what Takato's Sacred Gear/Gear's are going to be. Also, thank you for everyone who's voted so far, it has helped me narrow down the ideas, even if they seem a lot down there.

Trick Vanish and Night Reflection (a combo of sealing peoples powers away and darkness where you can even made shadow allies and travel through shadows and attack with them)

Annihilation Maker (making any monster would put the Pawn to good use, having a monster empowered by each of the aspects of the Evil Pieces)

Incinerate Anthem (who doesn't want a flame that can burn anything basically?)

Dimension Lost (making own dimensions would be quite fun, imagining the possibilities is mind boggling)

Trick Vanish and Night Reflection, fuse for Balance Breaker kinda like how Saji's do, and Incinerate Anthem (same as the first, only with the flaming holy powers added)

Variant Detonation, and Dimension Lost (an exploding dimensional user could be interesting)

Night Reflection and Incinerate Anthem (darkness, and holy powers together might be fun.)

Trick Vanish, Gravity Jail, Variant Detonation (a combo of all three pieces of the Pawn's can go into Bishop, Rook and Knight)

So yeah, those are the choices! Some people might be like "Whoa, three Sacred Gear's choice, he'd be so OP!" well, not really, as he wont have them all right away, and look at what happens to both Ise, and Vali in later volumes of the story, so two weaker, and one Longinus class Sacred Gear, or three low class Sacred Gear's, I think that would be quite good as the stories progresses, Saji also has four so, yeah~

Plus, Incinerate Anthem, is a Sacred Gear that has been shown in canon to pass onto different users, in canon three times, four if you count Slash Dog that we know of. And the same could be done for the other two, as they've been shown to be confiscated while the users are still alive, so it could be a thing where it eventually passes onto Takato, seeing him as a better wielder or something like that like Gram did for Kiba during vol 12.

So yeah, keep that in mind, he's not getting all of these at once if the two or more are chosen. And please vote, until next time, thanks for reading!

Takato; Ise (fem), Vali (fem), Rias, Akeno, Asia, Koneko, Yumi (fem), Gasper (fem), Xenovia, Irina, Rossweisse, Ravel, Kuroka, Kunou.
