Hello, fellow fanfictioneers, and welcome back to the fourth chapter of Runaway Gremory re-written!

Last time, Kenji went on a few dates, yelled at his dad, and… you know, attempted to die, but was stopped by Zest. Now, we have the next chapter, in which Kenji FINALLY does what's in the title of the fucking fic!

Anything you recognise isn't mine.

After the Gremory Heir's attempt to end his life, and Zest's subsequent stopping of said attempt, Kenji and Zest had become a lot closer, behind closed doors. When Zest was on her days off, she and Kenji would stay together, spending time with each other.

Kenji was slowly going back to his old self, cracking a couple of jokes and beginning to live his more 'rebel' lifestyle, and was seen out of his room quite a lot, unlike the weeks before his suicide attempt, where he had only been seen twice in the three weeks.

Zest was extremely appreciative of the old Kenji coming back to her, and she wasn't going to lie to herself. It might be Kenji's Devilish Charm powers talking to her, but she was quite attracted to the teenage Devil. If it had not been for the fact that she was in service to the House of Gremory, and that Zeoticus had banned all the servants from being romantic with Venelana, Sirzechs, Rias or Kenji (with the exception of Grayfia, who had become Sirzechs' wife before she became a maid), she would have likely have furthered the relationship between her and Kenji by now.

But enough about Zest. She isn't the main character here (though she IS one of the main characters). Back to Kenji.

Kenji had a towel slung over his shoulder, and was dressed in only his jeans as he walked out of the gym (he had begun training the day after Zest had stopped him from killing himself) and passed his parents, as well as Renzo and Rika Phenex, and they were conversing. He overheard a small part of their conversation as he passed.

"Drank holy water, barely came out with her life…"

"No! Really?"

"Yes, Ruval was barely able to stop Ravel from ending her life. She has been placed inside the Sitri hospital for the time being. I have been told that she and Sona Sitri get on quite well, like her and your daughter Rias."

Kenji's eyes widened as he kept walking. Ravel had attempted suicide as well?! By drinking holy water?

Questions ran through his head faster than he could run. And judging that he was, physically, exceptionally fit, as well as his Devil attributes already enhancing his physical capabilities, that was saying a lot.

How had Ravel managed to get her hands on Holy Water in the first place to drink it?

Why did she drink it? Wasn't she happy with her being engaged to Kenji?

Was she alright now?

Would this affect the engagement between him and Ravel at all?

As soon as Kenji had processed all the questions in his brain, he managed to answer them.

'I don't know, I don't know, evidently not, probably, since the Sitris are famous throughout the Underworld, for not only producing the one who held the title of the Devil King Leviathan, but being excellent doctors throughout the Underworld, and probably not.' Kenji reasoned, in his head. But then, the question he'd asked himself 'Why did she drink it?' he began to think about the answer in a way only he could.

'Wait, was it because of me? Was she only acting like a bitch because she really wanted me to be with her, and I was just bullying her?' Kenji asked himself. 'Am I really that bad of a person?' Thoughts like this continued to plague Kenji's mind until he came onto the floor his room was on, where he ran into Zest.

"Hey, Kenji." She smiled, at seeing her favourite Gremory and slight love interest.

"Hey, Zest." Kenji replied, with a half-hearted smile. Zest could sense that something was up, and walked towards Kenji.

"What's up, Kenji? You seem kinda out of it." She observed.

"Yeah." Kenji replied. "I just heard that Ravel Phenex tried to kill herself." Zest's eyes narrowed.

"Yeah, I was one of the first to hear." The maid replied. "It's sad, isn't it?"

"Yeah." Kenji replied, walking into his room and slumping down onto his bed. "If I'd known that she wanted to be with me, I could've done something to stop her from killing herself!" Zest sat down beside Kenji and put a hand on his shoulder.

"It isn't your fault, Kenji." She said, to the 16-year-old Devil. "You couldn't possibly have known what was going on, on Ravel's side of your engagement. You and Ravel, when you're supposed to be engaged, have little to no contact-"

"You support this marriage, too?!" Kenji asked, flaring up slightly.

"No." Zest said, patiently. "Of course I don't. I'm just pointing out that you and Ravel have had almost no contact with each other. I shudder to think what you and Ravel would be like when you get married."

"Me too." Kenji said, smiling. "I think I'd be better off…" he stopped himself, before he said the words.

"Yeah." Zest replied, wrapping an arm around Kenji and hugging him gently. Kenji noticeably stiffened slightly when she hugged him, but allowed her to hug him. Zest sighed, inwardly, as she knew that Kenji was quite touchy when it came to personal space.

If she ever managed to further her relationship with the teen Devil, it'd be the first thing she'd try to do, getting him to be less stiff when she hugged him.

Zest looked up at Kenji, and she giggled slightly to see that he was asleep. Lying down, she decided to sleep as well. And she wouldn't miss an opportunity to sleep in the same bed as the one she harboured a crush for.

Line Break

When you were young and your heart was an open book

You used to say live and let live,

You know you did, you know you did, you know you did

But if this ever-changing world in which we live in

Makes you give in and cry…

Say live and let die!

Live and let die!

Kenji's arm reached out and turned off his phone, stopping his alarm of Live and Let Die by Guns N' Roses. Sitting up, he stretched his arms and looked around his room. Everything was the same as before, but Kenji couldn't help but think that something was amiss.

Looking at his bed, his eyes widened to see Zest there, sleeping soundly, with her rabbit ears folded cutely.

'She looks kinda cute down there.' Kenji thought, and, offhandedly, reached down and let his hand fall softly into her white hair.

"Hnn…" Zest stirred slightly, and woke up. Through half-lidded eyes, she regarded Kenji with a small smile.

"Good morning, Kenji." She said. "Did you enjoy your sleep?"

"Yeah, it was alright." Kenji answered, lying back. Zest lay back next to Kenji, and smiled at him lightly.

"Hey, Kenji. There's… something I want to say." She said.

"Mmm? What's that?" Kenji asked. Zest scooted a little closer to him, and said.

"I… I think… I think I'm in-" The door opened. Kenji and Zest both jumped away from each other, and saw Venelana standing there, giggling.

"Oh, Kenji. Don't mind me, continue having your time with Zest." She smiled. "You don't have to worry about little old me." She smiled, and Kenji blushed a darker red than his own hair.

"MOM!" he shouted. "You don't have to say things like that!" Ven stopped giggling, and just started laughing.

"Oh, Kenji. You know I'm just messing with you." Her face suddenly gained a different look, one that Kenji NEVER wished to see on his own mother. "Or am I?"

If Kenji could blush any harder, one could easily mistake him for an oddly-shaped tomato. With one violet spot and one turquoise spot on it.

"Lady Venelana, I-" Zest stood up and tried to help Kenji out of his situation, but Venelana cut across her.

"It's fine, Zest. Really, it is." She said, smiling. "It's always nice to know that there's someone other than me who can look out for Kenji." Zest smiled.

"Of course, Lady Venelana."

"Zeoticus says get up, Kenji. Today's the day that you and Rias go and get your Evil Pieces." Kenji's eyes widened. Today was the day?!

Kenji jumped out of bed and changed his clothes as fast as he could, then ran out of the bedroom door, very nearly crashing into his mother, who had to dodge out of the way.

"He's going to be a great King." Zest remarked.

"Indeed he is, Zest." Venelana replied.

"Where is Kenji?" Rias asked her father, older brother and sister-in-law for the fourth time that hour. "I want to go get my Evil Pieces!"

"Sorry I'm late!" Kenji careened into the room at top speed. "I woke up late, and had to get breakfast, then I needed a shower, and-"

"It's fine, Kenji." Zeoticus had his teeth slightly clenched. "Stand next to your sister, and we can wait for your mother to come, then we can all go together." On cue, Venelana walked into the living room.

"You don't have to run, Kenji." She gently admonished her son. "I know you're excited, but-"

"There you are, Ven." Zeoticus said. "Let's go. Ajuka is waiting for us." Venelana stepped into the middle of the room, where Zeoticus drew a magic-circle, which he, Sirzechs and Grayfia stepped into. Zeoticus snapped his fingers, and they all disappeared in a flash of light.

Once it cleared up, they were in a room that was unknown to Kenji. Kenji looked around, and saw someone he hadn't seen before, but had heard a lot about.

He was a handsome young man, who had light blue eyes and slicked-back green hair. He had a mysterious aura around him that seemed to be somewhat devilish.

This was Ajuka Beelzebub, one of the four Satans, just like Sirzechs, and one of the three known Super Devils, just like Sirzechs.

"Good morning, Ajuka." Sirzechs said, walking forward and shaking Ajuka's hand. "Are you well?"

"Very well, thank you Sirzechs." Ajuka answered. "Who's getting their Evil Pieces today?"

"Kenji and Rias Gremory." Sirzechs replied, gesturing to his younger siblings. Everyone noticed that he said the word 'Kenji' with slight distain in his voice, but no-one paid it any mind.

"Alright." Ajuka said. "Who's going first?"

"Rias." Zeoticus said, automatically. "Off you go, Rias." Ajuka raised his eyebrows slightly at what Zeoticus had said. The last he had heard (and he heard a lot) Kenji was still the Heir to the House of Gremory, though Zeoticus wanted to make Rias the Heiress.

Rias smiled, and followed Ajuka through a door behind him, and everyone was silent for a minute, before a loud squeal sounded from the other side of the door.

"Rias?!" Sirzechs asked, sounding concerned. Rias came out of the room, holding fifteen chess pieces in her hands.

"I got a Mutation Piece!" she cried, sounding extremely happy.

"Oh, well done, Rias!" Sirzechs replied, letting Rias run into her older brother's arms and hug him. Kenji saw that one of the pieces, one of Rias' two Bishops, was a deeper red than the rest of them.

"Okay, off you go, Kenji." Venelana bent and kissed her son. Kenji blushed, and followed Ajuka into a laboratory-type place. There was a very large and complex-looking machine in the middle of the room.

"Okay Kenji, could you press your hand onto the indicated spot, please?" Ajuka asked, pointing to a spot with a handprint on it.

"Sure." Kenji replied, putting his hand onto the spot. "Do I need to do anything else?"

"Just focus your magic into that hand, and your Pieces will be created." Ajuka replied, and Kenji obeyed the Satan. After about a minute, fifteen objects shot out of the machine, and landed in a little bowl underneath the machine.

Ajuka scooped up the pieces, and looked them over. When he got to the eight smallest objects, he stopped and stared.

"Amazing…" he muttered. "This is amazing…"

"What's amazing?" Kenji asked, but Ajuka firmly clasped one of his hands in his.

"Kenji Gremory." Ajuka said, warmly. "Congratulations. You're the first Devil ever to get more than one Mutation Piece in your set of Evil Pieces."

"…What's a Mutation Piece?" Kenji asked, and Ajuka put the pieces down, and facepalmed.

"You know how Evil Pieces are used to reincarnate beings into Devils?" he asked. Kenji nodded. "Well, if reincarnating a being required more than one Evil Piece, then using one Mutation Piece would be sufficient in reincarnating that being instead of having to use several pieces."

"Alright." Kenji replied, looking carefully at Ajuka. "What Mutation Pieces do I have, and how many do I have?"

"You have eight Mutation Pieces." Ajuka replied. "And all of them are your Pawns." He handed the fifteen chess pieces over to Kenji. Kenji thanked him and left the room, to an excited-looking family.

"Did you get a Mutation Piece, Kenji?" Rias asked. "I bet you didn't, because I got one!" She waved the Mutation Piece in Kenji's face, with a superior look on her face.

"I wouldn't sound so superior, Rias." Ajuka walked out of his lab. "Your younger brother is the first Devil in history to have more than one Mutation Piece. He has eight Mutation Pawns." Rias' jaw dropped.

"How?" she could only ask.

"I don't know." Ajuka replied, smiling at Kenji. "I can only say that, as Devils have a one in ten chance of getting one Mutation Piece in their set, and Kenji has eight Mutation Pieces, we can only presume that Kenji had a chance of one in ten to the power of eight, which is one in one hundred million, which is approximately sixty-seven times the current population of the Devil race today." Everyone, even Grayfia, who was usually so emotionless, their jaws dropped at the same time.

"One in- in one hundred MILLION?" Venelana stammered.

"Yes. One in one hundred million." Ajuka repeated. "I thought it was going to happen at one point or another, but not to this degree, I must admit." He shook Kenji's hand again. "No wonder Zekram Bael said he he finds you interesting, Kenji." He said.

"Yes, I'm very proud of my son, Ajuka." Zeoticus reached out and took hold of Kenji's wrist. "But I must say, as the Gremory Head, and the person who knows best for my children, I think that Kenji should join his older sister's peerage, and give her his Mutation P-"

What happened next happened so fast, that no-one, not even Sirzechs or Ajuka, who were both Super-Devils, could see how it happened. Kenji had pulled Zeoticus' arm towards him with the arm that his father had grabbed, and BIT Zeoticus on the arm. And HARD, too.

"AAAGH!" Zeoticus screamed in pain and leapt backwards, holding his arm up to his face. When everyone got a look at it, they saw a ring of blood on Zeoticus' arm, in the shape of Kenji's teeth-marks. When everyone looked at Kenji, even the two Super-Devils were surprised and slightly unnerved to see just how ANGRY Kenji seemed to be. His signature Power of Destruction was rolling off him in waves, and his heterochromic eyes were glowing crimson. He regarded his father with a look of pure, unbridled fury and hate, before he jumped on his father and started punching every part of him he could reach, not even caring that his mother, sister, sister-in-law, and the two Strongest Devils Alive were there.

"YOU! FUCKING! PIECE! OF! SHIT!" Kenji screamed, punctuating every work he spoke with a blow to the face for his father. "I WILL NOT JOIN RIAS' PEERAGE, AND I KNOW WHY YOU WANTED ME TO!"

"Uh… why DID your father want you to join Rias' peerage, Kenji?" Ajuka, ever the smartest of the Devils, was at a loss for words for what was happening. 'Aren't the Gremory family supposed to be incredibly caring towards their servants and family, treating the former as if they were the latter?' he thought.

"IT'S BECAUSE HE WANTS ME TO BE KEPT UNDER MY BROCON SISTER'S THUMB BEFORE HE MARRIES ME OFF TO RAVEL!" Kenji roared, increasing the strength of his punches. "DON'T YOU KNOW THAT RAVEL ATTEMPTED TO KILL HERSELF AS WELL, JUST LIKE I DID?! WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T MARRY EACH OTHER?!"

Someone, finally, snapped out of the stupor that they were brought into by Kenji's out-of-nowhere outburst, and stepped forward. Grayfia grabbed Kenji's shirt, and pulled him, with difficulty, off Zeoticus' body, and into the air. Everyone gasped at the state Zeoticus was in after Kenji had been punching him. He had a black eye, his face was bruised, his nose was broken, and he had a puffy lip.

"GET OFF ME GRAYFIA!" Kenji roared, driving his elbow back into Grayfia's stomach. Grayfia, surprised at the force of which Kenji elbowed her, though it did no lasting damage, dropped him onto the floor. Sirzechs started forward towards his younger brother when he saw that his wife and maid was hurt, but Kenji punched HIM in the face as well.

"I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS!" Kenji shouted. "FUCK ALL OF YOU, I'M LEAVING THIS SHITTY FAMILY, AND I HOPE YOU ALL DIE!" And with that, Kenji poured every ounce of magic into a magic-circle of his own, and disappeared, taking his Evil Pieces with him.

Everyone was stunned to silence after Kenji left. Grayfia and Sirzechs were looking at each other's injures, Venelana was looking at Zeoticus' face, and Rias and Ajuka were just standing there, not really knowing what to do. Then, the fact that Kenji wasn't there sunk into everyone, his older sister first.

"KENJI!" Rias screamed.

Line Break

Kenji came out just outside Ajuka's laboratory, and in the current capital of the Underworld, Lilith. It was a large, busy city, with many people passing by as they pleased. Looking around wildly, there was only one thought in Kenji's mind, which was still incredibly angry at what his father had done to him.

'Get out of here while you still can.'

And, despite the fact that he had actually never learnt to fly, he spread his six Devil wings, and flapped them, taking to the skies. Once he managed to, he started flying away, as Kenji knew full well that if he continually used magic-circles, his demonic energy would be drained over time, so he knew that flying would be a good way to preserve his demonic energy.

Once Kenji manged to fly straight, he heard a booming voice that rattled his eardrums, and very nearly knocked him out of the air from the shock of hearing it. He recognised it as the voice of Zeoticus.

"KENJI GREMORY, YOU BASTARD! YOU GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE RIGHT NOW, OR I WILL DISPATCH EVERY GUARD, MAID AND BUTLER IN MY POSSESSION AND THEY WILL BRING YOU BACK TO ME BY FORCE, AND ONCE I'M DONE WITH YOU YOU'LL WISH YOU DIED, YOU LITTLE SHIT!"

'Oh, shit-fuck.' Kenji thought, beginning to fly faster. If Zeoticus followed through on his threat, and all the guards, maids and butlers came after Kenji, he wouldn't survive for long.

He started flying out of the city as fast as he could go, and made it out in about a minute. Taking a right, he flew into the countryside, and, even though it was likely that his father WOULD send everything after him, he felt a feeling of indescribable happiness, euphoria.

He was free.

Line Break, two months later…

Zeoticus, Venelana, Sirzechs, Grayfia, Rias, and another woman were all situated in the Gremory sitting room. Zeoticus was on his feet, pacing around the room, seething with rage. His face and arm were mostly healed, but that didn't stop him constantly thinking that Kenji, his Heir, had defied him, the Lord Gremory!

"When I get my hands on that little bastard, I'll make him sorry he ever thought of going against his own flesh and blood!" Zeoticus muttered. He had begun to send out teams of maids, butlers or guards, in groups of three or four, because if Kenji were to be found, he would easily be defeated by the combined might of his guards.

Sirzechs was sitting next to his wife, a scowl on his face, as well as a small bandage (it turned out, to his surprise, that Kenji could pack a punch when he got angry). He was as angry as his father at Kenji for what he'd done, but was doing a much better job at not showing it.

'I always hated that little bastard.' Sirzechs thought. 'When I find him again, I'll show him the wrath of the Strongest Devil, be damned to family or not!''

Grayfia was as neutral as ever, but inside, she was extremely surprised that Kenji would attack her, because when Kenji was still here, he might've been rebellious, might've gotten a little foul-mouthed at times, but he respected Grayfia, at the very least.

Venelana was feeling slightly sick with worry for her son. It'd been two months since Kenji had run away, and everyone in the service to the House of Gremory had been scouring the Devils Territory of the Underworld (none dared to go into the Fallen Angel's territory, they would be killed on the spot if they did) for Kenji 24/7, and none had seen hide nor hair of him.

Where the hell could he be?

Rias was mentally melting on the inside. Her feelings for her little brother had not diminished, they'd only gotten stronger in the time he'd been absent from the family.

She felt even more sick than her mother with worry for Kenji.

The unknown woman, who was sitting next to Rias, was the first addition to her peerage. Her name was Akeno Himijema, and she was Rias' Queen. She was a beautiful young woman, the same age as Rias, with very long hair and violet eyes. She had heard from Rias' family about Rias' younger brother, but since she had become Rias' Queen about a month after Kenji had run, she had never met him.

From what she'd heard about Kenji from Rias, she had the image of a handsome boy, the same age as her King, in her mind, who was very resistant to the idea of being romantically involved with Rias. He said, according to Rias, that it felt 'weird'.

However, the image she'd gotten about Kenji from Rias' father was that of a rebellious little shit, who would do anything and everything to get what he wanted, and would not accept otherwise.

Akeno didn't know who to believe.

Line Break, same time...

"Hahh… hah…" Kenji panted, as he soared unevenly through the skies. He'd been flying for three days straight, with no sleep, he had to fend off two teams of guards in the past two days, and it was raining heavily. All of these factors were SEVERELY affecting his ability to fly.

Suddenly, Kenji's wings just couldn't take the strain of flying any longer, and to keep them from breaking from the strain, they automatically retracted, leaving Kenji completely unable to stay airborne.

"Uh oh…" Kenji muttered, before he started descending from his height in the sky. Faster and faster he descended, until he began to come closer and closer to the ground, and he was sure his end was coming…

Kenji hit the ground with a loud SPLAT, and faceplanted into the muddy ground. It took five seconds for him to register that he was not dead, and another three to move his body.

He slowly lifted his head up and wiped the mud out of his eyes. He could still see, so that was a good thing. He saw a cave a few hundred yards away, and thought that he could take refuge inside the cave.

Picking himself up gingerly (his body really fucking hurt) Kenji made the agonizing trip of those few hundred yards, and once he made it into the cave, the inside of which was mercifully dry, his body gave out. Kenji collapsed, unable to move anymore.

Line Break

Not a million miles away from where Kenji had fallen, there was another Devil, flying through the skies, very near to the cave. However, this Devil was a female.

She was a beautiful young woman, around 19 years old. She was quite tall, five feet ten inches tall when she stood up. Her hair was long, dark silver, and tied into a simple ponytail, which went down to her back. Her eyes were light blue, and she had a perfect hourglass figure, complete with a very large bust.

She wore a dark green V-neck shirt, which strained to contain her large bust, with a high-collared black leather jacket over it. She wore burgundy jeans that hugged her hips like a second skin, with a silver chain drooping down over them, and black leather chaps with three bands encircling her right calf, and black shoes with black buckles.

She had eighteen wings on her back. Eight of those wings were the wings of Devils: black, and bat-like. Eight more of those wings were white dragon wings, with blue membrane. The other two wings were the wings of her Sacred Gear: Divine Dividing. These wings were white, with eight blue energy 'feathers' which made them the biggest wings that she possessed. They stretched out, dwarfing both her Devil and Dragon wings.

This Devil's name was Valian Lucifer. She was a Devil-Dragon hybrid: previously a Devil-Human hybrid, but Albion, the White Dragon Emperor, and the being sealed inside Valian's Sacred Gear, had offered to turn her human side into that of a Dragon, and Valian had accepted on the spot, as she knew that becoming a Devil-Dragon hybrid would make her stronger, and Valian loved being strong, as well as having strong opponents to fight.

She was currently on one of her nightly flies throughout the Grigori territory, and was just wondering about going back, but suddenly, Albion spoke.

[Valian.]

"Hmm?" she asked, continuing to fly. "What is it, Albion?"

[I can sense someone here. A Devil.]

Valian perked up slightly at the mention of a Devil.

[Do you sense it too?] Valian fanned out her demonic energy, and yes, Albion was right. She could sense the energy of a Devil, a High-Class Devil, and the energy was coming from directly below her.

"Yeah, I can. I'm going down to check it out."

[Valian-]

"I can handle most Devils, Albion. Have a little faith." Valian smirked. "Besides, if it's too much for me, I can always call Azazel, Shemhazai, or someone else."

Valian flew down, and softly landed on the muddy ground. Looking around, she saw a cave, and felt that the Devil's energy was coming from in there. Remaining on guard in case she had to spring into a fight, she walked slowly into the cave.

Valian's eyes glowed blue, a brighter blue than her eyes usually shone, which was the trigger for her turning her dragon-eyes on, which enabled her to see in pitch-darkness about as well as if she was standing in broad daylight.

Looking in every direction, and not wanting to miss anything out, Valian's eyes suddenly focused on something lying on the ground. Recognising it as the Devil she could sense, she bent down and gently turned it over.

It was a male, of about sixteen years of age, who had crimson red hair that hung down to his chin. His eyes were closed, and Valian could tell that he was alive, due to the fact that he was breathing.

[Valian?] Albion asked. [What are you going to do?] Valian licked her lips in thought.

"I think I'll call Azazel." She said. "He took me into the Grigori when I was a Devil, so-"

[I doubt he will.] Albion replied. [But, do as you wish.] Valian pulled out her phone, dialled a number into it, and put it to her ear.

"Hello Azazel… yeah, it's me. There's something here I think you should see… I'm in the cave on the edge of the territory… see you later." She hung up. Ten seconds later, a magic-circle was triggered outside the cave, and a man walked into it.

He was a tall man, who appeared to be in his twenties, with an average build. He had black hair, with golden bangs and a black goatee. This was Azazel, the Governer-General of the Fallen Angels, and the leader of the Grigori.

"What is it, Valian?" he asked his surrogate daughter, and said surrogate daughter replied by pointing to the body of the young Devil on the ground. Azazel's brow furrowed as he looked at him.

"Is this how you found him, Valian, or did you do something to him first?" he asked, looking at Valian shrewdly.

"Uh… he was face-down when I found him." Valian replied. "But that's it." Azazel accepted this answer and looked at the teen.

"I think I know what you want me to do." He said, looking over at Valian, a slight smirk on his face. "You want me to take him in, don't you?" Valian laughed, despite herself.

"You know me well enough." She answered. "Please, Azazel? I heard you telling Shemhazai how you wanted a son." She said the last part cheekily, and Azazel laughed.

"That is fair." He said. "Alright, I'll take him in. But only because you asked me to, Valian."

"Thank you, Azazel!" Valian said, sounding happy. Azazel did not reply. He picked the Devil up and slung him over his shoulder, and left via a magic-circle. Valian left via her own magic-circle as well.

And that's Chapter 4! Kenji has gotten his Evil Pieces, and left the Gremory family behind him! And Zest came SO CLOSE TO TELLING KENJI SHE WAS IN LOVE WITH HIM!

Now, before you all freak out on me because Valian had 18 wings, let me explain my reasons for having it that way. I thought that since Valian is going to be a Devil/Dragon hybrid in this fic, I thought it'd be good to have separate sets of wings to show how powerful she is in both fields (and this'll go for all other species hybrids in this fic as well). She has 8 Devil wings, like in canon because she's an Ultimate-Class Devil, and she has eight Dragon wings because she has a bit of Albion in her, and for symmetrical reasons. And she has the extra two because Divine Dividing takes the form of two wings.

Also, I made her have a fuckton of wings because what's going to look more badass on someone's back? Eight wings, or eighteen wings?

See you in the next chapter!
