HEY GUYS. Welcome back to chapter 4 of this series. I've been MIA for quite a while now, so I don't expect many of you guys to be around now. Hope you enjoy this short, little chapter. I'll make sure to update at least weekly too. Chapters WILL be a lot longer. Enjoy!

CHAPTER 4 (THEIR GOAL...)

Moments later, everyone returned to the mansion. Akeno used a time-space warping spell to repair the manor back to its original form.

Yukito, Akame, and Aphrodite were seated across Rias Gremory, with the rest of the household standing at attention behind her. The three were of course still under high suspicion for attempting to kidnap Issei and attracting deadly forces to a public area. However, the Gremory household could hardly do much against a goddess, whose powers severely outmatch their own.

Aphrodite sat as close as possible to Yukito, with a rather pleased look on her face, and Akame sat at the end of the opposite side of the couch, even more stony-faced. Yukito sat in the middle with an exasperated expression.

"So, the Greek goddess of love, huh? What might bring a Greek goddess to Japan?" Rias inquired. "Are you even following the pact?"

The Dimensional Supernatural Pact, in short, says that divine entities are only allowed to interfere with their own realms if given permission by the respective realm's ruler. In this case, the ruler of the Fallen Angels, Devils, and Heaven all must agree for an entity from Greek mythology to visit their realm.

"There's loopholes in everything, dear," said Aphrodite. "Specifically, the pact says, the form of said entity can traverse across realms if said entity is restrained to a level of low power. In short, if my power's in check, then nothing's wrong!"

Rias grimaced. She does not remember the specifics of the pact, but realizes that Aphrodite's claim appears to logically be legitimate. Contesting with something she does not know will only make herself seem more foolish, so Rias decided to simply nod her head.

"Then whose restraining you, if I may ask? May it be Zeus?"

"My father? Of course not! In fact, I doubt that he knows I am here," Aphrodite laughed. Of course, Yukito is keeping me in check!"

Akame's expression seemed to get stonier, and Rias turned her attention to Yukito. This man could restrain the powers of a goddess, so he must have significant influence and power.

As if reading her mind, Yukito said," Don't worry, I'm not strong enough to actually subdue a goddess. This one just owes me a favor –"

"Don't call me a 'this one'!" Aprodite interjected.

"This b#$* owes me big time so she's somewhat under my influence. Anyway, I'm not that strong, I won't be blowing this city up anytime soon."

The Gremory household could only stare at Yukito, who was now being nagged by Aphrodite. A mortal just insulted a goddess…

Rias put a finger on her temple, considerably stressed out. "Anyway, what did you come here for? Wait – what happened to your accent first?"

"What? My Accent? That was just something I was doing because it annoyed Akame a lot. She said I should speak eloquently because I hold a nice position in our organization or something like that. My accent sounds pretty good, right? Nice and casual." Yukito looked pleased with himself, and glanced at Akame. She merely snorted.

Yukito frowned. "Hey that ain't very lady-like yakno—"

Akame hit him on the shoulder and he clenched his mouth in pain.

Rias now cupped her forehead into her hands. This man is going to give her a migraine. "Like I said what are you doing here? Considering that you're here with a goddess, then depending on your answer, this matter may be taken to my brother."

"Oohhhh, spooky… Your brother, is it? I'm sure he's a big, bad boy who can kill me with his freaking laser eyes and then –"

This time Akame kicked him in the shins. Aphrodite looked at Akame disapprovingly as Yukito cupped his shin.

"We're here on important business. We are required to retrieve Hyoudou Issei at all costs."

"As I said, this is not up for negotiation—"

"We need him… for the sake of our organization." The room suddenly felt tenser. Even Yukito looked at the ground, seemingly dismayed.

Rias, reading the mood, questioned," Hypothetically, if we did lend you Issei. What would you do with him?"

Rias could feel several hot stares coming from behind her. She prayed that the girls would remain peaceful for a little longer. The Gremory household stared at Akame, waiting for an answer.

Akame took a deep breath.

"Reincarnation."
