What's up guys, sorry for the delay of chapters, you see, i had about 8 of these chapters pre-written before i started publishing, but now that i've caught up with myself I'm gonna be posting fewer chapters. I may even have to do monthly chapters if it gets to bad. Hopefully when school starts again i'll be able to write more since i usually write when I'm at school and not at home, anyway, i hope you enjoy this chapter.
The next day Isse arrived at the Occult Research Club's base of operation. He slid open the door to find Rias sitting on one of the sofas sipping some tea. "Good morning club president!" he said a bit to loud.
"Good morning Isse, and how is your leg today?" Rias asked looking at his leg.
"It's completely healed thanks to Asia's healing ability." he said lifting his leg up.
"My, that ability shouldn't be taken lightly, I can see now why the fallen angels wanted it so badly." she said with her hand on her chin.
Isse put his bag down and sat down on the couch opposite of Rias. They engaged themselves in a conversation about the evil pieces, something that has been bothering Isse for sometime now.
"So wait, because I wield this sacred gear you had to use more than one piece on me to reincarnate me into a devil?" Isse asked repeating what Rias had just told him.
Rias nodded and said "Yep, I used seven pieces to reincarnate you, leaving me with one left. You will be the best pawn I'll ever have, and for the time being I want you to aim to be the strongest pawn ever. I know you will do it, you are my cute servant." she then leaned over and kissed him on his forehead. "A good luck charm from me to you, though I shouldn't do it in front of my to new servants and members of the ORC, they may get jealous."
Isse looked at Rias confused, she took noticed of this and smiled. "Isse, I'd like to introduce you to the newest members of the occult research club, come on out you two."
At the far end of the room, a single figure stepped out of the shadows. It was Asia, wearing the school uniform and blushing slightly. She looked at Isse a bit upset and said "I see, since club president is so pretty that's why Isse fell in love with her."
Rias giggled while Isse looked at Asia dumbfounded. Asia then shook her head and shouted. "Not good! Not good at all! Oh lord please forgive my sinful heart-OUCH!" she was cut off by a sharp pain in her head.
"Ow I got a bit of a headache to from that, devils can't pray to God or else they'll take damage." she said rubbing her temples.
Asia put her head down in sadness because she couldn't pray to God any more. Isse nodded, but noticed something missing. "President, you said that there were two new members, Asia's one, but were's the other?"
Rias looked around pondering, she could've sworn the other new member was in the room. "Where is he, I hope he didn't try to avoid us." she said with a smirk.
"Good morning buchou, Isse, and Asia" said a voice
Isse turned around to see Kiba standing in the door way waving. He was then followed by Koneko and Akeno who also greeted the three.
"Hello everyone, glad to see you all here, well, almost everyone. It seems that one of our members isn't here just yet." Rias told them with her hands on her hips.
"Fufu, that's funny, because we just so happened to find that certain someone trying to walk back home without dropping in to say hello." Akeno said as she reached over on the outside of the door and pulled in the missing member.
Isse's jaw dropped in shock, because there, standing in front of him, was Mic-Hael himself.
"Good morning Mic-Hael glad you could make it." Rias said smiling "You didn't think you could miss out on your introduction did you?"
Mic-Hael looked at Rias and then look back toward the ground "If I said no I'd be lying, and what do you mean by 'introduction' you all know me, but it wouldn't surprise me if you didn't."
"Of course we know you, especially after last night, you made my dear Isse quite upset to." she said pointing at Isse who was still in shock.
"All I remember about last night was getting impaled by something and passing out. Then I woke up in my room naked, now I'm here standing before all of you when I'd rather be at home playing some video games." Mic-Hael said pointing toward the direction his house was in.
"This is more important than video games, Mic-Hael. You're here to be initiated into our club, just like Asia over here." Rias said gesturing toward Asia.
"Oh really now, and what exactly is this 'initiation' you'll be doing?"
Rias nodded toward the others and in a blink of an eye bat like wings sprang from their backs and stretch out from both sides. This caught Mic-Hael off guard, taking a step back right into Akeno who just smiled and said "Fufu, don't worry Mic-Hael we're friendly, we wouldn't dare hurt one of our own.
Mic-Hael looked at her and then at the others, taking it all in. "So, what i saw last night was real, i was right that something more is going on around here, I knew Isse wouldn't have had a beautiful girl want to hang out with him."
This cause Isse to frown, while Rias on the other hand blush and smiled. "You seem to be taking this very well, allow me to introduce my full self. I am Rias Gremory, heir to the house of Gremory, I am a devil and this is my peerage who are also my servants. They are also Devils and your new family." they all smiled and waved. "You are here because you are now apart of my peerage and also an official member of the Occult Research Club."
Mic-Hael shook his head and said. "I don't think so, you see, I have no family nor do I want one. I prefer to be with my own kind, the outcasts of this school. And as for being your servant, I do not serve those who are self righteous of themselves. I only serve my friends in need, and you guys are not my friends." he said with a scowl.
Ria's eyes widened and then narrowed. "You obviously don't understand the situation you're in. You are my servant, you follow my orders and you will obey me. I did not bring you back to life just to hear you say you want nothing to do with us. The last thing we need is for you to become a stray, because we will not hold back." she finished pointing her finger at Mic-Hael, who was grinding his teeth.
He looked around at everyone who gazed at him with worried looks, afraid that the next spark would set off a full on argument between their new member and their club president. But Mic-Hael tried remained calm, he never let his emotions get to him and cause him to snap, though that one time with the bullies was an exception. So he lifted his head and stared Rias in the eye and said. "Yes club president"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Mic-Hael was gonna be cooperative with them meaning that they wouldn't have to use force on him. This caused Rias to smiled and walked up to Mic-Hael, and proceeded by giving him a hug. "Welcome to the family"
Mic-Hael's eyes widened in shock as she embraced him in her arms. Many thoughts started to race through Mic-Hael's mind, not knowing what to do. He never had anybody give him a hug before, besides his parents whom he didn't count. But what he really wanted to know was why this girl, who had just argued with him, could suddenly change and give him a hug.
After a few seconds she let go and looked at Mic-Hael. "Let's not fight ever again, we are family now and family members should never hate one another." she said looking into his eyes.
Mic-Hael still thrown off by the hug, nodded and looked back down at the ground. Rias then put her hands on her hips and looked at the rest of the group. "Now that that's out of the way, let's have a party to celebrate our new recruits. I also prepared a cake just for this occasion, this'll be so fun."
Isse started to go crazy because of the homemade cake Rias had made. He handed out pieces to the others, giving them thin slabs of cake, so he could have the rest to himself. Mic-Hael declined as he was busy thinking to himself, for he was observing everything around him. He observed everything from behaviors to personalities, looking at each and everyone of them closely. When he got to Rias, he was shocked to see her sitting on the couch with a sad look. "Something's obviously bothering her, but what?" he thought to himself. Isse suddenly dropped his cake and started to eat it off the ground. This grabbed Mic-Hael's attention as he grinned a bit before sneaking out the door and headed on home.
The next day Mic-Hael was doing his usual routine of getting up and playing games on his computer. Matsuda and Motohama weren't up yet so Mic-Hael had to play by himself. He paused the game he was currently playing and went down to the kitchen to make breakfast.
*Ding Dong!*
"Who the hell could that be?" Mic-Hael asked himself looking toward the door with a face of annoyance.
*DingDongDingDongDingDong!*
Mic-Hael grabbed the door knob and swung it open with force as the door bell continued. "HEY! I heard it the first time-"
"Then why didn't you answer the first time?" Rias said with a grin.
Mic-Hael narrowed his eyes and slammed the door shut right in her face. He walked away cursing under his breath...
*DingDongDingDongDingDong*
"WHAT!?" Mic-Hael yelled as he answered the door a second time. Again finding Rias standing there with a smirk on her face. He noticed that she was wearing work out suit which was quite tight on her.
"I want you to come and train with Isse. You and him both need to become as strong as possible for the future." she said.
Mic-Hael looked at her dumbfounded and annoyed. "Why the hell would I want to waste my day off doing pointless training?"
"Because as your king I command you to. I thought we settled this yesterday with that hug we had, you also called me 'club president' as well." she said smiling.
Mic-Hael rolled his eyes, he completely forgot about the hug and calling her club president. "Even if I did join you on this workout how would I even benefit from it? I'm just a normal huma...devil, with nothing unique about me."
Rias leaned in closer to Mic-Hael who's eyes widened by the sudden movement. "Are you sure about that, because when I revived you I sensed something more to you. Though I might've been wrong, maybe you don't possess a sacred gear after all." she finished, turning her back to Mic-Hael.
"How the hell do you know about that?" he said getting angry.
"A devil never reveals their secrets. Now, do you want to train and become stronger or do you wanna sit at home and remain weak and powerless?" she said turning around, and placing her hands on her hips.
Mic-Hael thought about his options, and after pondering for a few seconds he made a decision. "I guess I really have no choice in the matter."
"Great! Let's go!" she yelled grabbing Mic-Hael's arm, pulling him down the street. Eventually arriving at Isse's, who apparently was still asleep.
"Typical for a guy to keep a girl waiting." she said crossing her arms in and pouting.
"Hang on, I got this." Mic-Hael said picking up a rock and throwing it at Isse's bedroom window.
*CRASH!*
"Uh oh..." said Mic-Hael looking at the now broken window.
"Ahhhhhhhh! What the hell happened!?" yelled Isse looking out the broken window, looking at both Rias and Mic-Hael.
"She did it!" Mic-Hael shouted back pointing at Rias, who's mouth shot open at the accusation.
"I most certainly did not! It was you now confess!" she shouted at Mic-Hael who snickered a little.
Isse narrowed his eyes at the two and walked away from the window. The two looked at each other, making Mic-Hael snicker again at the sight of her annoyance.
"You know Rias this is actually pretty fun. Especially when I get to frame-"
*DONK!*
"Ow! What the hell!?" Mic-Hael yelled as the impact from the rock hitting his head left him with a sore bump on his head, Rias giggling beside him.
"How dare you try and blame Buchou for something you did." said Isse from his window, giving Mic-Hael a angry glare.
"Just get your ass down here so we can get this training done!" yelled Mic-Hael
"Be right down!" Isse yelled back. And once Isse was out, the three of them headed toward the school track course.
"Alrighty then let's get started! Isse, you're first!" she yelled as Isse got into push up position, and Rias took a seat on top of him as he started to push up and down with a struggle. Isse soon formed a lewd look on his face, which seemed to be because of rias sitting on him. She then slapped him in the butt and yelled "Keep focus!"
After about 200 hundred push-ups it was then Mic-Hael's turn to train. "Uh uh" he said shaking his head and taking a step back. "I agreed to some training not having a girl get a free ride on my back."
Rias grinned and said "Oh my, could someone be embarrassed by having a girl sit on them?" which caused Mic-Hael to blush a little.
"I don't know what you're talking about, I just don't want anybody touching me while I'm training." he said crossing his arms.
"C'mon...Mic-Hael...it's not...so bad..." Isse said panting from exhaustion.
"Let's go Mic-Mael, you don't want Isse to surpass you in rank now do you? Don't worry I don't bite, just do a few hundred and you'll be done." she said smiling.
Mic-Hael sighed and walked over to Rias, getting into push up position right next to her. She then sat down right on his back, crossing her legs pretzel style. Mic-Hael felt a slight blush form on his face, but slowly faded away. "Nice posture, Mic-Hael, you might do as good as Isse, let's begin." she said, as Mic-Hael began his push-ups.
After reaching 50 Mic-Hael began to falter a little. His good posture began to sink while his movements slowed. Rias took notice to this and decided to motivate him by giving him a slap on his butt.
"Ouch!" Mic-Hael shouted, throwing Rias off like a bull at a rodeo. "That's it I'm done!" he said walking away.
"Oh come now, you were doing so well. I only slapped you to motivate you, and don't you say you didn't like it." she said innocently toward Mic-Hael.
He narrowed his eyes and was about to make a remark when he suddenly heard a voice from behind him. "Isse, Rias, Mic-Hael-OOF!"
It was Asia running in a work out suit who just tripped and fell in front of them.
"Pffffffff Hahahahahaha!" Mic-Hael laughed uncontrollably at the poor girl's accident. This caused Isse to glare at him angrily, but he couldn't help but roll his eyes at the girl's misfortune.
"Why are you here, Asia?" Isse asked helping her get back on her feet.
"I wanted to help you and Mic-Hael train, but sadly, I was only able to make tea." she said rubbing the back of her head.
Mic-Hael walked up and grab a cup of tea, looked it over, and the took a sip. "You know, I'm not much of a tea drinker, but this right here, is pretty good." he said taking another sip.
"Thank you, Mic-Hael." Asia said blushing a little.
They all sat down on a nearby bench, drinking tea and conversing amongst one another. Isse and Asia were having a conversation about how she would become a great wife one day. Mic-Hael on the other hand was sitting quietly next to Rias, taking sips of his tea every so often. He had never hung out with a pair of pretty girls before, and he was actually starting to like it. However, he knew that it would never last, because for him, it never did. That's why he preferred to isolate himself from others, to decrease the depression that was to come.
Mic-Hael sat there for a few minutes, and then looked over to Rias. She had that same sad look in her eyes that she had during the day of the party. "Hmmmmmm, i really don't have to, but I guess I can talk to her and see what's wrong. But I better approach the situation gingerly" he thought to himself.
"RIAS!" he yelled causing the girl to jump in her seat and...
*SMACK!*
Mic-Hael was smacked face first into the ground leaving a imprint of his face in the dirt. Rias looked around and then looked at what she had just done to Mic-Hael, while Isse and Asia stared with their eyes wide open.
"Sorry Mic-Hael, you startled me so I reacted as if I were being attack." she said rubbing the back of her head.
"That's ok...I just wanted to snap you out of your daydream, you weren't looking so good." Mic-Hael said, his voice still muffled do to his face being lodged into the dirt.
"Oh, that was nothing, I was just thinking of things that we could do later." she said standing up. "Right now, let's go to Isse's house, the luggage should have arrived by now."
"What luggage?" said a muffled Mic-Hael. Isse and Asia looked at each other confused, and as Mic-Hael lifted his head out of the dirt, they headed off toward Isse's house.
After a few minutes of walking the group reached Isse's house. Out on the porch were big packages, which Mic-Hael guessed were the luggage Rias was talking about. "So Rias wha-"
"Call me Buchou from now on, Mic-Hael." Rias said cutting him off.
Mic-Hael rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Ok 'Buchou' what's with the luggage." he asked curiously.
"Well, since Asia has no were else to stay besides at the club house. I've decided that it'd be proper to have her stay at Isse's house." she said with a smile.
Asia looked at them all with her face turning deep red. "W-w-w-what!?"
They headed inside and sat down with Isse's parents. Mic-Hael introduced himself to them and discovered that Isse had mentioned him a couple times. "We were so glad to hear that our Isse found a friend who wasn't a pervert." Isse's mom said, wiping a tear from her eye.
"So, what brings you all here today?"
"Well, I've come to ask for your permission to allow Asia to stay with you here." Rias said, pointing at Asia who blushed a little, while Isse's parents looked a little shocked.
"Even if she were to stay with us there is still the fact that our son is a pervert. If something were to happen we couldn't possibly take on that kind of responsibilty." Isse's dad said fixing his glasses.
"Then what if she became your daughter?" Rias said using a serious tone causing Isse's parent's eyes to widen.
"What do you mean?"
"You see, Asia trusts Isse very much, he did save her after all." said Rias "Your son Isse here would charge in to battle just to see her safety."
"I see..." Isse's dad said looking at the table.
"This could also be great bridal training with her living here, how does that sound?" Rias said enthusiastically.
"BRIDE!?" everyone shout which caused Mic-Hael, who was leaning on his seat, to fall backwards with a thud.
Isse's parents started to cry tears of joy as they spoke words of happiness towards their son. His mom even said something about Isse having ecchi magazines in his room, which caused Isse to spit out all his tea that was in his mouth.
Mic-Hael got up to see Asia wiping Isse's mouth with a napkin, as Isse's dad ran up to her and held her hands saying "Our son may be useless but we beg of you to take care of him for us!"
"Excellent! And with that, Isse, please take care of Asia. I want you to get her familiar with Japanese culture." Rias said as she then explained that it was Asia who chose to stay with Isse a few days ago. This caused Isse's dad to run up and talk to Asia joyfully about staying with them.
Isse's mom then made a comment about showing her were Isse and his dad hid their ecchi stuff. This caused the two men of the house to start a uproar about what she had said, especially Isse's dad who didn't like being accused about having ecchi magazines.
Mic-Hael started to laugh as the two stomped after Asia and Isse's mom. Until he noticed Rias looking out the window with the same sad look she had before. This started a conflict in his head about wether or not he should intervene or not. But Mic-Hael never liked to see others depressed, so he went over to see what was up with her.
"Hey Rias" he said tapping her shoulder.
She turned around causing Mic-Hael to flinch at the thought of being struck again, but was instead greeted by the same sad look he's been seeing all day. "What is it, Mic-Hael?"
"I've been observing you all day today, and from what I've seen, something is bothering you. I want to know what that thing is, and the only way I can achieve that is by you telling me." Mic-Hael said looking at her with a serious look as her eyes widened a little at his sudden change in demeanor.
"It's nothing, Mic-Hael, training is done for today, you're free to go." she said with a sigh.
"Now now that's not how this works, you see, I have a guilty conscience. And if I walk away right now without helping you out that guilty conscience is gonna eat away at me, and none of us want that." Mic-Hael said placing his hand on her shoulder causing her to blush a little.
She then sighed as Mic-Hael removed his hand off her shoulder and placed both hands behind his back as he waited for a response. Rias looked at him, a hurtful look in her eyes. "Can you keep a secret?"
Mic-Hael nodded, he was good with keeping secrets, mainly because he had no body to share them with. "You can trust me, and as you know, family share secrets, as well as help those with problems."
Rias smiled "You're a good person, Mic-Hael. And to think just yesterday we were going at each other's throats." she said turning back to the window. "I'm getting married soon, Mic-Hael."
"...what?" Mic-Hael responded confused.
"I've been engaged to marry someone, don't make me repeat myself again." she said
"Whoa, hold on, you're getting married at this age in you're life? Girl, you crazy, if you think that's gonna work out, if you ask me-"
"It's an arranged marriage..." she interrupted him turning serious.
"...oh" Mic-Hael looked down at the floor ashamed. "And you have no say in the matter whatsoever?"
Rias shook her head. "Even if I did it wouldn't matter, he'd get his away eventually." she let out a sigh and hung her head.
"Well there's gotta be someway of getting out of it, no?" he said trying to brainstorm an idea.
"Well there is one way that could work..." she trailed off, blushing a little.
"C'mon, spit it out, I wanna hear the idea, maybe I can help you out." he said impatiently.
"I was just thinking...that if I were to lose my purity then maybe the wedding would be called off." she said closing her eyes.
Mic-Hael stood there taking what Rias had said in. "Ummm...well, sadly I can't help with that, but by the looks of it that shouldn't be hard at all."
"I'm not just gonna give my body to just anyone, only the person I approve of." she said crossing her arms.
"Riiiiiiight, and who would be said person?" Mic-Hael asked
"Isse" she said blushing
Mic-Hael looked at her with one eyebrow up, and excused himself from the room. Soon after loud laughter could be heard in the next room. Rias frowned and sighed as she waited for him to make his return.
"I'm sorry I thought of something funny, but did you happen to say 'Isse' by any chance?"
"Yes, I did, I know he lacks some traits that make up a good person, but he's the only one I feel comfortable with. It's my only chance at getting out of this marriage." she said
Mic-Hael nodded his head in acknowledgement to Rias's statement, but then sighed heavily. "That boy is filled with lust, he'd do anything just for a fun time if you catch my drift. But he has good intentions, caring about those around him and what not. So yeah, I can see how you can feel comfortable around him. I wish you luck on your plan, and remember, if you need me, come and find me."
Rias smiled and gave Mic-Hael a hug, which was even tighter than before. He started to feel embarrassed as her breast pushed up against him. His face started to turn a dark red, as he tried to break free from her. Finally he did, looking away to hide his blush. "Well, I guess I'll be going now, take care and good luck."
"Bye Mic-Hael" Rias said as she waved goodbye.
