Ranmaru wakes up and sees Issei's feet in his face. He falls off the bed in surprise. Then struggles to stand.

Ranmaru - (wait, why am I tied up? And why is this girl with red hair naked? Was I drugged!? Is this some sort of porno or something? Wait, that's the guy from last night, the one who helped me.)

Ranmaru muffles a little, then sees the stain of blood on his shirt and begins to flail about.

Issei - "Hugh?" (Gasp!)

Issei flinches back without thinking. [grope]

Issei - "oh! Good morning Rias, heheh." [thonk!] Rias hits him on his head. "Owww"

Rias - "oh, Ranmaru's awake." (Rias stands and begins to get dressed) "Sorry for tying you up, we just want to make sure you are not a threat. Issei, untie him."

Issei - "Okay man, don't yell." He then yanked off the tape on his mouth.

Ranmaru - "Owww!"

Issei - "I told you not to yell!"

Ranmaru - "your the one who yanked the tape off!"

Issei - "So how's your wound? Does it hurt?"

Ranmaru touched the place where he got stabbed.

Ranmaru - "So what happened yesterday was real?"

Rias - "Listen, I'm gonna cut to the chase here, we are Devils."

Ranmaru - "Excuse me?"

Rias and Issei both release thier wings at the same time

Ranmaru - " whoa, so are you, like, gonna eat my soul?"

Issei - "your a devil too dude."

Ranmaru had a clueless face. So they explained everything to him.

Ranmaru - "So hold on, you are telling me that I am a pureblood devil from a famous clan that is endangered because they were hunted, and now they may be trying to kill me as well?

Rias - "Yes."

Ranmaru - "Fuck yea! I always knew I was different! I-I can't believe this!"

Rias - "you can also have servants, like a chess board, you are the king, and you choose your servants."

Issei - "but first, we need to teach you how to use your powers, come outside with me."

After they go outside and train physically for a bit, Issei begins the lesson on Magic.

Issei - "Alright so first thing to know, is that a devils magic relies a lot in the imagination of the wielder. Like, I have the power to blow the clothes off of a woman just by touching them!"

Ranmaru - "Holy crap, that's fucking amazing!"

Ranmaru held his hand out and tried to imagine magic, but there is a smell of brownies in the air and it's distracting him. When He opens his eyes He sees a brownie in his hand.

Ranmaru - "did you put this in my hand?"

Issei stood in astonishment

Issei - "no man, you made that, out of magic."

Ranmaru - "really, you can make objects out of magic too?"

Issei - "no, that's weird you shouldn't have been able to do that. Can you do it again?"

He did it again but this time with a carton of milk.

Issei - "I don't know what kind of crazy power this is so I can't train you in magic yet. But your stamina plays a big role in how much magic you can use. So we must train your body my pupil!"

Ranmaru - "Yes! Let's do this!"

Issei - "you see this tree? It's padded for training. You will punch this for as long as you can, so I can see what your made of."

Ranmaru - "hey Issei? Do you think my mother is alive?"

Issei - "hmm, I've heard stories about the Majesty clan. The way it goes, the clan was hunted to the last family, a mother, a father, and a baby. The father brought the baby to the human world for evil things, the mother found out, killed the father, but never found the son. So I believe she is still alive."

Ranmaru looked down to the ground.

Ranmaru - "if that's the case, then I am going to get strong, and get servants of my own. To make my mother proud!"

He then started to punch the tree at a steady pace. For the rest of the day. At dinner time, the team was at the table except for Asia.

Xenovia - "hey, where is Asia, the food will get cold."

Issei - "she is outside healing Ranmaru's fists, and giving him water."

Xenovia - "wow, hasn't he been punching that tree all day?"

Rias -!

Rias got up from the table and ran outside to where Ranmaru is training. Asia walked into the house. There was blood on the tree, and he was drenched in sweat.

Rias - "hey, you can stop now! Take a break!"

Ranmaru - "no!" Tears ran down his cheek. "I have to continue, I won't disappoint my mother!"

Rias - (this must mean a lot to you, it must have been hard to learn the truth. Knowing that his mother is alive is forcing him to work harder than he ever has before) "you should at least eat."

Ranmaru - "no time! It would slow me down." (Huff, huff)

Rias looked down, then walked back into the house and sat at the table.

Issei - "whoa, he's still going!?"

Akeno - "I guess all we can do is wait until he passed out from exhaustion."

It was very late at night. Ranmaru finally becomes fatigue, he sways to the side and crashes through the fence right into the sidewalk. He doesn't move.

A girl walking past stops

Girl - "(gasp!) Ranmaru!?"

He can hardly keep his eyes open. Her hands glow red, then he passed out. The next morning he woke up on the porch.

Ranmaru - "uugh, my head...my hands...they're healed? That girl, I think I know her!"
