Chapter 8
Gohan didn't know what to do, he was trapped towards a corner by a beautiful, elegant girl with an aura that radiate authority in front of him. Under these circumstances he could just disappear thanks to his super speed, leaving only unanswered questions. But now that wasn't an option anymore the girl standing before him was none other than Rias Gremory, the president of the Occult club and a student of Kuoh academy.
'What should I do?' Gohan thought to himself as he began to Panic at the sight of the elegant red headed girl walking towards the Demi-Saiyan, 'I can't escape like this,' he continued with his thoughts seeing no other possibility of escape.
"If I'm not mistaken, your name is Son Gohan…" Rias respond to the Demi Saiyan as she continues to go closer to the teenager, "Am I correct?" She asked, but already knew the answer.
'Damn!' Gohan thought to himself as a bead of sweat trickled down his neck, 'Why does this always happen to me?' He asked himself mentally without bothering to answer Rias question.
Rias just frowned as she got no response from the black-haired teenager, she stopped walking towards the Demi-Saiyan as she stood two meters away from the nervous Gohan. She was not accustomed of being ignored by people.
"Then I'll take it as a yes," Rias respond as she began to notice the Demi Saiyan was beginning to tremble nervously, it made the red hair girl smirk knowing the Demi-Saiyan was trapped.
The black-haired boy didn't know how to respond. The Devil caught him thanks to Raynare, the bite of the Fallen Angel hurt constantly, he made a mental note heal his hand when this all over.
"Just thinking about that bite hurts like hell." Gohan murmured in a muffled voice so the red hair girl wouldn't be able to hear him, but Rias was able to see Gohan lips moving, "What am I talking about? This isn't the time to think about this!" he reminded himself as he saw Rias looking at him curiously.
"Why don't you speak up?" The red-haired girl asked the dark-haired boy as yet again he didn't reply.
Gohan just sighed as he closes his eyes in defeat, he had no choice but to talk to her, maybe he could answer her question without revealing much about himself and Azazel.
"Look, I know you have a lot of questions, but I think Issei needs medical attention as soon as possible," the black-haired boy said pointing towards the unconscious brown hair boy behind her.
The Demi-Saiyan knew that the chestnut was stable thanks to his Ki. But that didn't take away the fact that he was still wounded and risk of dying.
Rias, on the other hand only frowned again at the black-haired boy before looking at the unconscious boy behind her.
"You don't have to worry about that, I gave him a special 'gift'," Rias replied as she returned her gaze to the black-haired boy, "I'm sure he'll recover quickly."
"A gift? What do you mean by that?" Gohan wonder, confuse what Rias meant.
"If you want answers, you'll have to come with me," she said, giggling at the dark-haired boy as she noticed his confused gaze.
Gohan didn't know what to do. He wasn't sure this was some kind of trap, but on second thought Azazel told him that they weren't really evil, in fact Gohan could feel her Ki and he didn't feel any malice attempt towards her.
"Alright..." Gohan said with a defeated sigh, "I just hope you don't try any funny business."
"You do not have to worry about that Gohan," Rias replied with a reassuring smile.
"By the way, I don't think I got your name?" Gohan said as he watched, Rias moved away from him and raised her hands towards the sky.
Rias only smiled as a red light had completely covered her, along with the strange circle the redhead formed under her feet.
"My name is Rias Gremory," she replied, still smiling at the stunned black-haired boy.
Gohan was astonished by the beauty of the red hair girl to notice the reddish light, but his astonishment turns to worry as he realizes that the girl Ki was rising slowly.
The Demi-Saiyan was about to ask what was she doing while preparing a combat position ready for anything of the girl tried to pull, but he lost focus when he suddenly felt another presence.
"What!? How the hell did I get here so fast!?" Gohan wondered, as he notices a new Ki presence.
"What's the sudden urgency Rias?" Asked the newcomer as the reddish light faded and exposed the giddy voice of the newcomer.
It was Akeno, and it seems that she just took a shower as she only wore a towel around her, but that didn't help cover her large bust and her thighs.
"Akeno, I need you to take Issei home," Rias said, pointing to Issei who was still unconscious, "while I have a talk with our guest." The red head finish as she turns to the Demi Saiyan that was standing right in front of her.
"Guest?" Akeno wondered what she meant as she looked at Rias direction only to discover a blushing Gohan averting his gaze from her, "Nice to see you Gohan," Akeno said with a sweet smile.
"H-hello..." Gohan greet her back as he began looking Akeno up and down on her towel, 'Stupid hormones!' He chided himself as he felt his body heat up.
Gohan didn't understand why he felt this way every time he saw Akeno, he didn't understand why his eyes took on a life of its own and traveled all over the girl's body and the fact that it felt like there was a volcano inside him wanting to erupt. (DARK-ZERO-0000 you better mention Gohan reaction of Raynare clothing and that body… Okay I'm done)
The two girls just observe Gohan, as the Demi Saiyan shook his body violently.
Akeno smiled seductively at the realization that she was the cause of the Demi Saiyan anxiety.
"You seem nervous Gohan..." began the violet-eyed girl as she walked towards the black-haired boy and moved her hips seductively causing the towel to reveal a little more of her creamy thighs, "Don't tell me, I'm bothering you?" she continues standing before the nervous Demi-Saiyan puts her two little hands on her chest making the Demi Saiyan even more nervous than he was ever before
'What do I do?' Gohan panic as he tries to resist looking at the black hair girl chest, as she was looking at the nervous Gohan with a beautiful smile, "o-okay yo-o..." he couldn't get the words out, being too nervous of the black hair girl in front of him.
Rias only frowned at the scene in front of her and was a bit confused by her best friend antics, she knew that Akeno had an interest of the teenager, but this was very direct even for her.
'But can you blame her?' Rias thought as her vision traveled all over the body of the Demi-Saiyan, 'What am I thinking!?' she chided at her thoughts with a small blush planted on her cheeks.
She didn't understand the sudden interest of the boy, of course he was very handsome and strong, but she was not a girl based on appearances.
'Besides Akeno has her eyes on him...' she continues in her thought as she began to frown at them.
"What's wrong Gohan?" Akeno asked without turning away from the black hair boy, "Don't you trust me?" She asked yet again, looking into his eyes.
The Demi-Saiyan did not know whether to look at her beautiful violet eyes or her large creamy, perfectly formed breasts that were only covered by a bath towel.
'Why do you torture me so much A-Akeno?' Gohan said in his thoughts as he continues to stutter.
'S-she is carrying t-this too far!' Rias thought to herself as her cheeks began to warm up, looking at the scene with jealously and taking notice that Gohan was starting to get uncomfortable as she was.
"How about we leave your little talk for later?" Rias said being annoyed by Akeno antics, breaking the two teenagers back to reality and make them remember that they were not the only ones in the room.
Gohan could only blush more than he already was and scratch his head in embarrassment as he walked away from Akeno, he had forgotten his present situation since Akeno had made her appearance.
"Right..." Akeno began while still blushing, but not dropping her smile, "Sorry Rias." she apologized with a small bow to her king.
Rias only frowned at the two of them as she looked at them carefully, she was standing right in front of them. Akeno was losing the focus of the surveillance mission, she assigned her and now here she was losing focus of the assignment that Rias gave her of the same person who Akeno was supposed to watch, Rias would have a serious talk with her when this is over.

Location Unknown
"Who was that bastard?" Raynare shouted siting at her 'semi-throne', she had returned to her base after escaping the clutches of the Demi Saiyan, "I swear if I see him I'm... AAAH!" her cries of anguish were interrupted, as the Fallen Angel clutches her stomach, gritting her teeth enduring the pain.
That blow the Demi-Saiyan cause hurt constantly, she was sure at least one of her ribs are broken, this only annoys Raynare remembering the strength the boy has. She began to wonder how could anyone be so powerful to give a blow that hurt constantly.
But that's not all that bothered her, his speed was something she couldn't believe, he was so fast that she couldn't follow his movements he seemed to just disappear and reappeared in front of her.
Forgive me for the blow, but you were asking for it...
Raynare could hear the Demi-Saiyan voice in her thoughts, this guy, this guy not only defeated her but also made fun of her. She was Raynare and nobody, but nobody made fun of her and lived to tell it. She began remembering the other Fallen angels that made fun of her for being so weak, making jokes behind her back commenting 'Azazel lost little puppy' it stung the female Fallen Angel hard.
"Who does he think he is?" Raynare murmur angrily as she held her ribs carefully so it won't cause her so much pain, then she already was, "Does he think that by being strong and handsome he can do whatever he wants?" she continues in anger but soon realized what she said and blushed furiously.
One thing if it was safe for her to say...
"Son Gohan you will die painfully." Raynare mutter to herself imaging herself killing the Demi-Saiyan in the most painful way possible.
-or-
In the Occult Club
Gohan was sitting on the sofa staring in front of the two girls and the table that was the middle of the room. Akeno was now wearing her school uniform, standing right next to Rias behind her desk much to the Demi-Saiyan relief.
"So Gohan," Rias began after a long time of silence had passed, "Could you explain to me what you and Issei was doing in the park?" the red hair girl asked as she began to look at the Demi-Saiyan closely to see if he was lying.
Gohan had to give her credit, she seemed to be very good at interrogating people, knowing whether they were lying, but it was nothing compared to Azazel and his unreadable mind.
"Actually, we didn't hang out with each other during the time..." he confessed shyly scratching his head nervously, this only causes Akeno to chuckle.
"But, what were you doing there?" Rias asked a little confused.
'I got no choice, I have to answer, but I can't confess too much.' Gohan thought to himself as he sighs in defeat, "the truth is that I was following him," he said as he looked down at his hands.
Rias and Akeno exchanged a confused gaze, wondering why Gohan was following the chestnut, the president of the Occult club frowned when she asks the question. Perhaps the black hair boy was also interested in Issei power, if that was true, he would have to answer Rias since from now on Issei was her servant.
"Why did you follow Issei?" Rias asked the black-haired boy cautiously again.
"I was trying to protect him!" Gohan confessed as he looks down at the floor as he clenched his fist remembering Issei near death experience.
This caught the attention of the two girls wondering what Gohan was protecting Issei from.
"Who or what were you trying to Issei protect from?" Rias ask trying make sense of the situation.
"Yuuma..." Akeno said suddenly as she remembered the name of Issei girlfriend.
"That's correct Akeno," the Demi-Saiyan said to the girl as he watched her, surprised that she knew about her.
Rias just remained silent as he remembered what Akeno had told him about Issei girlfriend, apparently Gohan was protecting Issei from her and unfortunately didn't do a good job.
"I tried to stop her..." the Demi-Saiyan respond as he tight his fist in anger, directed to himself, "but I couldn't reach him in time." Gohan continued as he tightened his hands and made his nails dig into his flesh a little.
He knew that he had failed to protect the chestnut tree, he was angry with himself for being an idiot, having let Raynare almost kill the boy, he had failed Azazel and Issei but especially, his father. He will always find a way to save his friends no matter how impossible the situation seemed.
Gohan knew he had failed them and couldn't do anything about it.
"Don't blame yourself Gohan," Rias said to the Demi-Saiyan as he felt a hand on his shoulder, reassuring Gohan, "what matters is that you did your best." the red hair girl continues while looking at Gohan giving him a sweet smile.
The Demi-Saiyan didn't know how to answer instead he could only stare at the red-haired girl in front of him, he could see the sincerity of the girl voice. Gohan could only smile back with a genuine thank you.
Akeno just stared at the scene in front of her with some discomfort, she could feel a strange sensation of annoyance invading her stomach as she watched them smile at each other.
"Um..." Rias began after a long silence had passed between the two. They began to lose each other, when they stare at each other eyes, when onyx eyes met sky blue, the moment ended when Akeno did a fake cough which snap the two teenagers back to reality. Both Gohan and Rias cheeks turn red as they both look the other way from each other as Gohan scratch his head nervously and Rias trying to control herself.
"I know it's very nosy of me, but I'd like to know who and what you are?" Rias asked as she returned to her seat facing the Demi-Saiyan.
Gohan scratched his head nervously and smiled shyly, he didn't know whether to reveal his Saiyan heritage to the two girls. He could lie to them by saying that he was a Fallen Angel like Azazel, but Azazel told Gohan that Fallen Angels and Devils don't get along very well, he could tell them about his Saiyan heritage and risk what they would think of him.
'What should I do?' Gohan thought to himself, scratching his head nervously in his trademark Son style, 'How I wish Krillin was here...' Gohan mentally said to himself, remembering that his father friend was a very good liar, surely, he would come up with something to respond. 'Like how humans are very strong if they train properly and...' He paused, realize a way to tell the girls without revealing his Saiyan heritage so he wouldn't have to lie, "That's it! Krillin, you're a genius!" Gohan shouted excitedly without realizing the two-girl's presence.
Rias and Akeno were confused of the Demi-Saiyan sudden outburst.
"Huh?" Stated Akeno confuse of The Demi-Saiyan outburst, "Who's Krillin, Gohan?"
"Huh?" Gohan responds to the two girls who were staring at the Demi-Saiyan, making Gohan blushed in embarrassment at the realization of his sudden outburst. "He just a friend," murmured the black-haired boy.
"Very well then..." Rias said a little disconcert with the black-haired boy, "But can we please get back to the subject?" she asks the Demi-Saiyan as polite as she could be.
"Hehehe, of course..." the black-haired boy replied as he laughs awkwardly, "I'm a human like Issei," Gohan continue as he stops laughing and look at them seriously.
This only took the two girls by surprise, he was human?
"Impossible! If that was true, then you wouldn't have survived my attack!" Rias said accusingly, losing her temper a little.
"Besides, the first time we met I tried to follow you, but you disappear as if you were never there," Akeno added to the accusation, she knew there was no way for Gohan is human, he was too mysterious to be one of them.
The Demi-Saiyan just smiled with confidence, he knew he wasn't a very good liar, but what he told them was partly true, so it wasn't a lie, only half-truth and he could live with that.
"I know it may be hard to believe, but it's the truth..." Gohan said as he looked at them with a smile, "Humans can be very skilled people if they are very well trained." the Demi-Saiyan continues as he sees the face of disbelief of the two girls.
"What do you mean, skillful?" Rias asked with interest.
"I don't know how to explain it..." Gohan murmured as he put his hand on his chin and began to think of something, "I have it, what better way to explain than to teach them!" He said excitedly.
This only confused Rias and Akeno more. They didn't understand the enthusiastic fury coming from the Demi-Saiyan, they were about to ask him what he was referring to but they were silent when they saw Gohan holding out his right hand in front of them was a very tiny light that appeared in his palm.
"What is it?" Rias asked in surprise as he watched this tiny sphere of light at the palm of the black hair boy.
"Amazing..." Was the only thing Akeno could say as she stared at the light that appear on the Demi-Saiyan palm.
Normally something like this wouldn't astonish Rias and Akeno, but the real reason why they were in complete astonishment was because this tiny sphere of light, perhaps the size of a grain of sand, radiated tremendous energy and not energy like that of Devils, Angels or Fallen Angels, this energy was very different and much denser.
"This is what a human being can achieve if one gets train properly," Gohan began as he faded the small sphere of his hand, "I would even dare say that people like you and Akeno can do it." He finished as he saw stars in both girl's eyes.
"Are you serious!?" the two-girl asked the Demi-Saiyan simultaneously as they looked at him with bright stars in their eyes to learn this amazing power.
"Y-yes..." the Demi-Saiyan nervously replied when they saw how cute they looked, like kids during Christmas eve, 'You have to concentrate, Gohan.' he mentally reprimanded himself, being carried away by the beauty of these two girls.
Both Rias and Akeno were very interest of this information. The thought, that a human could achieve such a thing, just imagine what Devils like they could achieve.
"But before I go further, I would like to know about who and what you are?" The dark-haired boy asked, he knew a lot about them thanks to Azazel, but he decided to act as if he didn't know anything about them, to not attract any attention.
The girls exchanged a brief glance with each other before Rias answer the black-haired boy.
"You see Gohan, we are..." Rias told him about the Devils and everything Azazel had said only in her own words. (Watch the anime)
Gohan was attentive to Rias explanation, he already knew what she told him, but he wanted to make sure what Azazel said was true.
"... And that's it," Rias finished as she let out a small sigh of exhaustion.
"Well, that's crazy..." commented the black-haired boy as he nodded to the girl's explanation, "but I'd like to ask you something, if it doesn't bother you?" he added not wanting to be rude to Rias.
"Of course, " Rias said, smiling at the educated Demi-Saiyan.
Gohan was silent for a moment, trying to find the right words to ask.
"When we were in the park, you said that you had given a gift to Issei..." Gohan began, remembering the words of the redhead, "What did you mean by that?" he continues to look up to Rias closely.
"Oh, that..." Rias murmured to herself as she looked at Demi-Saiyan serious face, she could see that the black-haired boy was very concerned about Issei, this only made Rias smile, "What I meant is that I turn him into a Devil, " she confessed without letting her smile fall.
This took the Demi-Saiyan by surprise. Issei, no longer human?
Now everything made sense, Rias had saved the chestnut tree by turning him into a Devil like her and Akeno, but now there was only one problem.
How will Issei handle that he was no longer human?
"Don't worry Gohan," Akeno knowing what's been bothering the Demi-Saiyan, "I'm sure Issei will understand." she assures him, to calm his discomfort.
"I hope so," Gohan murmured softly as he looked down at the floor, 'I hope Issei understands,'
The room was completely silent after this, the girls could feel the depression of the Demi-Saiyan.
Akeno felt downcast seeing the black-haired boy in this state, she had never seen him like this before, he just always smiles or being nervous.
"I think it's getting late..." Rias respond after a brief moment of silence, she wanted to talk to Gohan more, but seeing him in this state made her a little sad, "Why don't we see each other on Monday at the same place, when school is over?" she asked them but more specifically to the depressed boy.
"Right..." replied the Demi-Saiyan as he rose from his position on the couch, "but before I go I would like to know where Issei at?" Gohan asked, not knowing the whereabouts of the chestnut, normally he could feel his Ki to find him, but being unconscious he couldn't locate it.
"He's resting in his house." Akeno answer to the concern Demi-Saiyan.
Gohan just nodded, he couldn't check for himself since he didn't know the location of the chestnut tree home, but he would have to trust them, after all they never proved to be bad people.
"Well..." said the Demi Saiyan as he walked towards, the door, "See you in Monday." Gohan finished as he went to the door saying his goodbyes to the two girls before leaving the room.
Rias and Akeno watched in silence as the dark-haired boy leaves the room, neither of them said a word for a while.
"Akeno, we have to talk." Rias said with an authoritative nod to the girl at her side.
"Huh?" Akeno said when she looked at Rias in complete confusion.
-or-
With Issei
In a simple room there were white walls, illuminating the area, a bed on the left side of the room and a desk on the right side of the room with a computer on top of the furniture.
Issei was in his bed beginning to waking up from the strangest dream, leaving only a yawn as he slowly rose from his bed.
'As if Yuma would do such a thing,' Issei said in his thoughts, remembering his date had killed him, "The strangest thing was Gohan and that girl?" He murmured in complete disbelief.
Issei already knew Gohan. But that girl in his dreams was so beautiful, with her red hair and a face so perfect and delicate. The light Reddish glow that surrounded the red hair girl with an incredible figure, made her look like a celestial being.
'That girl was so beautiful...' Issei thought with an intense blush on his face as he remembered the red hair girl, more specifically her breasts, 'I think I had seen her before,' Issei continue in his thoughts.
A girl as beautiful as she couldn't be ignored by anyone.
"I remember now!" Issei shouted suddenly as he remembered where he saw the red hair girl, "That day, at the window of the old school building!" the chestnut continues as he struck his right fist into his left palm, remembering the whereabouts of the last time he saw the red hair girl.
"Definitely the strangest dream, I had," Issei murmured as he got out of bed, revealing his boxers.
He began to stretch his muscles, as he lifted his hands as high as he could, and letting out a great sigh of pleasure as the bones of his back thundered simultaneously within his movement.
"I'm not too sure about that," a new voice respond causing the chestnut to jump in total surprise as he turns around.
There in front of him was a beautiful woman who seems to be about her twenties, with silver hair that matches her eyes. Her hair flows all the way down to her back, features a long braid on each side with small blue bows at the ends, while the rest is let down, ending in twin braids.
She wore a blue and white French maid outfit with long sleeves and a white lady headband over her head, with red lipstick as a cosmetic accessory. In short, she was the most beautiful girl the chestnut had ever seen in his life.
"Who are you?" Issei asked in complete shock and amazement to see the beautiful woman in front of him. He didn't even remember that he was wearing his only a pair of boxers but this didn't seem to bother the silver hair lady.
"Lady Rias told me to finish healing your wounds." the silver hair lady replied with a face that showed no emotion, "That dream you had really did happen." she continues while looking at Issei with the same stoic expression.
"B-but..." Issei try to disagree, the dream he had couldn't be real, he was close to death during the time, besides no one can heal wounds that fast.
"I know it may be confusing for you, but I think lady Rias can answer all of your questions" the silver hair women interrupted when she saw the confusion of the chestnut tree.
Issei didn't know what to say, but he nods to the young woman in understanding, seeing the only course of action to find answers.
"But, before we go." the young woman began as she lifted a set of clothes in her hands, "You better change into something decent."
-or-
In the occult club
"Are sure about this you, Rias?" Akeno began in complete shock hearing her King decision. She didn't disagree with her, but she was very surprised that she made a decision so quickly and she seemed so determined to do so.
Rias just grinned, Akeno surprise expression, in fact Rias was surprised herself by her sudden decision, but after talking to Gohan she was sure this was a good idea.
"I don't see the problem is Akeno." Rias began without stopping her smile to the confused girl, "After all, I took Issei, why not Gohan as well?" the red hair girl continues with a serene smile on her face, as she began to imagine the Demi-Saiyan.
Gohan was a very attractive boy, but that's not what got Rias attention she can't explain it, but there was a sudden warmth of Gohan presence. Just meeting the Demi-Saiyan Rias can tell that Gohan care deeply for other people, prove of how concern Gohan was over Issei and the guilt that she has sense from the Demi-Saiyan, failing in protecting the chestnut. Rias could tell Gohan blame himself rather than the Fallen Angel, Gohan was a wonder to her, she never met his type before and she wants to know more about the Demi-Saiyan.
Akeno was staring daggers at Rias with jealously all over her face as Rias face soften when mentioning the Demi-Saiyan and notice her cheeks turn pink. She didn't know what was going on, but she could tell it had something to do with Gohan.
She didn't like it.
'It doesn't matter that you are my best friend...' Akeno thought as she looked at her president of the Occult club, 'I will never give up Gohan' the black hair girl continued without looking away from the red head girl, she was an open-minded girl, [What I mean. XD] (I'm secretly aroused and terrified at the same time,) but when it came to the black-haired boy, she only saw the Demi-Saiyan with her and only her... Nobody else! (We shall see! Go Gohan x Raynare!)
Rias caught Akeno jealous eye and she was about to ask her what was the problem, but was interrupted by a reddish flash and then a red circle began to appear on the floor of the club.
"What? But, how?" a voice of light said, catching the attention of the two girls', "H-how did we get here?" the voice continued in the light before the red circles, the light disappears revealing a very confuse Issei and a young woman with silver hair.
Rias and Akeno were a little surprised by the sudden appearance of the two mysterious strangers, but after checking who they were, they calm down and decide to talk to the newcomers.
"Hello Grayfia," Rias began with the older woman, "and I see that you are awake Issei." the red hair girl continues as she turned her gaze to the chestnut tree.
Issei couldn't answer, he was in complete shock when he saw Rias and Akeno who greet him with a small hello.
The two looked a little amused at the reaction of the chestnut, Grayfia only remained impassive as always while watching the whole scene in front of her.
"My apologizes, Lady Rias, but I have to go back to the mansion." Grayfia said before disappearing in a circle like before without even waiting for a response from the red-haired girl.
"Busy as always." Akeno said as she put the palm of her hand to her cheek and smiled, the direction Grayfia had disappeared.
Rias just nodded before returning her gaze to the chestnut who is still in complete shock before her. Rias knew this would be a very, very long conversation.
'First Gohan and now Issei...' Rias thought to herself as she sighs in defeat, "this will be a long night" the red hair girl murmur as she looks up to the roof in complete misery.
-or-
With Gohan
The black-haired boy was walking down the street, heading to his apartment complex, wondering what to do with the new twists of events. It was obvious to him that he couldn't go unnoticed at school any more.
'What will I do now?' Gohan thought to himself as he walked back to his apartment complex, 'They already know about me and my powers.' he continues as he turns a corner while he faces palm himself, regret began descending over.
Gohan had no choice but to continue the mission Azazel had given him, he hopes not to reveal more of his past than he already had.
'Then there was this Yuuma, or should I say Raynare,' Gohan continue in his thoughts, 'despite what she did to Issei, she doesn't seem all that bad she was alone and at the wrong path.' he continues as he stands in front of the building of his apartment complex.
The Demi-Saiyan knew that Raynare wasn't that bad, it was just that the girl had wrong ideas, a very good example was the self-proclaimed Prince of all Saiyan, after all Vegeta was way worse than Raynare before he changed and become Earth greatest defenders.
'If Vegeta could change, why couldn't she?' Gohan wonder as he entered the building, heading for the elevator without even paying attention to the receptionist who was calling out to him.
"Mr. Son? Excuse me Mr. Son?" the young receptionist shouted to get the Demi-Saiyan attention, but failed miserably, "Oh well, he'll find out when he gets there." she said out loud to herself and shrug.
Gohan kept walking with thoughts of Raynare plaguing his mind. Gohan felt something else coming from the Fallen Angel girl behind that malice and her bravado, she was alone.
Gohan felt something inside Raynare she was angry, alone, and sad. This confuses the Demi-Saiyan why does he feel so much pain coming from the Fallen Angel, it was like with Piccolo when he first met his mentor.
Gohan remember the story his father told when Piccolo nearly conquered the world and torture his father when he was down on the ground. But despite that Goku gave him a second chance, treat him with kindness when their battle was over it wasn't a straightforward process but it worked. Gohan felt that same sorrow and isolation coming from Raynare.
This is feeling Gohan is going through right now. Ever since he arrived in this universe, he was separated from his loved ones with no hope to ever see them again, it pains the Demi-Saiyan accepts that there is no way to go back.
"She alone, just like me." Gohan stated as he got out of the elevator and began to walk to the hallway.
With Raynare thoughts in his mind Gohan began to remember Azazel presence. When the two went shopping together for Kuoh Academy, Gohan notice people were avoiding Azazel presence with each step he took.
'Is this what's meant to be a Fallen Angel, to be alone is this what Raynare and Azazel are feeling,' Gohan wonder in his thoughts.
Gohan kept walking to his apartment and took out his key out of his pocket before opening the door knob and enter his apartment. The black-haired boy was surprised to discover that the light was still on, he didn't remember leaving it on when he left.
"Maybe I'll forget to turn it off?" He said to himself, shrugging his shoulders, entering his apartment before closing the door behind him.
"If only," a voice that did not belong to the Demi-Saiyan, "nice to see you Gohan." continued the voice taking the Demi-Saiyan by complete surprise.
The Demi-Saiyan was shocked for a moment before turning to look the owner of the voice, only to discover Azazel sitting on the couch with a glass of water on the coffee table.
Gohan could only stare in complete disbelief. He didn't understand how it was possible for Azazel to sneak up on him so easily, the only other person who could do such a thing was his mentor and he doubted that Azazel had trained with Piccolo.
"How did you do that?" Gohan asked in bewilderment as he walked to the kitchen while still looking at the adult.
"Do what?" Azazel answered with another question while he returned the look with his indecipherable smile.
The Demi-Saiyan frowned on the adult's smile, that cocky grin confused Gohan to no end, he knew there were so many things that were hidden with that smile. But Gohan haven't the slightest idea why or what it was and for the first time he accepts Azazel mission Gohan began wonder, if he had made the right choice trusting Azazel.
"It doesn't matter..." Gohan murmur in defeat, knowing he lost to the adult again, "What are you doing here Azazel?" Gohan asked as he looked away from the adult and opened the refrigerator.
"What? Can I visit a friend of mine, Gohan? " Azazel answered with another question from to the teenager.
Gohan looked away from the refrigerator and to Azazel again as he looked at him suspiciously.
"Okay, okay." Azazel gave up knowing the black-haired boy wasn't in the mood, "The real reason I came is, to know if Issei is doing alright." the adult confesses as he saw Gohan take a snack from the fridge with disbelief written all over his face.
The Demi-Saiyan did not know how the hell Azazel knew what had happened to Issei.
Was he watching over them?
"How did you know Issei almost died!?" Gohan ask in total surprise, which the adult who just smiled again.
"I didn't know, but now I do," Azazel said without letting his smile fall.
"Hehe..." the Demi-Saiyan laugh nervously as he realized his mistake, "I think I have a lot explaining to do." Gohan murmured with a blush on his cheeks as he laughs awkwardly.
Azazel just smiled at the clumsiness of the black-haired boy, he knew Gohan had much to tell him tonight.
Gohan told Azazel of the events of what happen during the 'date' Issei had with Raynare, the near-death experience, the fight Gohan had with the Fallen Angel, and the introduction of Rias Gremory.
Azazel was paying attention to every word of Gohan story listening to every word. Apparently Raynare almost killed Issei but thanks to Gohan, the brown hair boy gets to live another day and become the Devil for the house of Gremory.
Azazel mind shifted, he didn't understand why would Raynare disobey an order from him. It wasn't like her, Raynare might not be the strongest Fallen Angel but she was the most loyalist to the Grigori. The Grigori has been plagued with strife, leading towards a civil war. One thing was certain Azazel need to find Raynare to get full details of her action and get her out of Kuoh before the Devils find her. Azazel care about Raynare like a father would with a daughter. Azazel felt that way with all Fallen Angels, he doesn't want to punish her since it will only cause more heated tension for the Grigori.
"Thank you for telling me this Gohan." Azazel respond as he got up from his seat.
"Um… No problem Azazel," Gohan said as he saw the adult about to head, towards the door, "Azazel wait!" Gohan shouted gaining the Fallen Angel attention.
"What is it Gohan?"
"What's going to happen to Raynare?" Gohan asks showing concern in his tone.
Azazel just raises an eyebrow
"I honestly don't know,"
"I know she your subordinate… But can you not punish her," Gohan said to adult as he looks down at the floor. "There's something I got to know."
Azazel just smiled.
"Alright then Gohan." Azazel finished as he left the apartment
-or-
Two days later
Gohan was sleeping in his bed, he had been grateful that yesterday, nobody had bothered him. This only gave him time to rest from all the problems he had with Azazel, Akeno, Rias, Raynare, Issei, Devils, Angels, Fallen Angels, etc., no one had bothered him and this day would be no exception.
The black-haired boy was sleeping on his bed without a care in the world, with no one to disturb his peace...
RIGGGGNNNNNTTTTT...
Except that alarm clock.
"Damn, I forgot school!" Gohan yelled as he leaps out of his bed, get his supplies, and clothes for school.
Gohan ran towards the door and down the stairs, forgetting to take the elevator.
"Good morning, Mr. Son," the young receptionist greeted the black-haired boy as he ran down the stairs.
"Hello, uhmmm... What's your name?" Gohan asked as he scratched his head in shame.
"It's, Touka, Mr. Son." she replied with a bead of sweat running down from her neck, "Yesterday you had a visitor, but you weren't listening, it seemed that you were very busy." she said as Gohan looked apologetic.
"Sorry about that..." he apologizes and left the building, but this time instead being a horse, he waved his goodbye to the receptionist.
Gohan ran all the way without breaking a sweat to the academy, after all this speed was nothing compared to his true speed.
After a time of running he could see Kuoh academy at a distance. Gohan began to slow down and starting to walk slowly, not to attract any attention, which was impossible. The moment when he arrived at the entrance there were other students, left to right, staring at him.
"Look, it's Gohan!" Shouted one of the girls in the crowd.
"Is it me or does he look more handsome than usual?" Another girl asked her friends, who only nodded in agreement with her friend.
"That damn Gohan always getting attention," a male student grunted through his teeth as he clenched his fists in fury.
"Calm down man, remember what he did to that other guy," a male student tries to reassure his friend.
Gohan only shook his head hearing the murmurs, although he wanted to go unnoticed, that option seems like wishful thinking.
"At least everything going back to normal," he whispered softly to himself, walking to the entrance of the building of the academy, "only thing is missing is Akeno. " Gohan couldn't finish his sentence when he felt two fleshy round objects that were pressing on his back and then two delicate, creamy hands around his chest.
"Good morning..." Akeno said to the Demi-Saiyan in his ear, causing a chill down to the black-haired boy, "Hello, Gohan." she whispered in his ear as sensually as she could.
The Demi-Saiyan remained frozen in his uncomfortable position. He knew that Akeno was always this way to embrace him, but this time there was something in her tone that baffled him more than before. Addition that the girl's hands began to travel to the Demi-Saiyan waist.
"H-hello Akeno..." Gohan said awkwardly as he moved uneasily, "How is Issei doing?" he asks her when he tries to change the subject.
The violet-eyed girl frowned at the Demi Saiyan question, she knew that the black-haired boy was trying to escape from her. She would normally just let it pass while laughing at him, but knowing that Rias had a little interest in the black-haired boy too, she couldn't hold back her.
She wouldn't let the president take Gohan for herself.
"You don't have to worry about that, Gohan." the girl replied as she ventured her hands below his waist, "You should worry about yourself." purring in his ear as she let her hands travel below the belt and...
"Morning guys! " Issei shout from the distance, interrupting the two teenagers, much to Gohan relief, making Akeno moving away from the Demi-Saiyan in defeat, "What are you two doing?" Issei asked the two as he approaches them along with an angry red hair girl that was following behind Issei, who narrow her eyes at Akeno.
Akeno glance at the red-haired girl smugly as she saw her friend's annoyance at her.
"Morning Issei, Rias..." Gohan greeted them as they approached the two grateful that they were interrupted, "in fact we weren't doing anything at all." He continues while smiling at them in gratitude.
"Really?" Rias asked him, still looking at Akeno with her eyes closed, "It seemed to me that you two were doing something." with a little zeal in her voice.
Everyone present realized how annoyed Rias was, Gohan and Issei just looked at her in complete confusion, not knowing what spurred her to get her so angry.
But Akeno knew exactly the annoyance of her friend and just smiled at her.
"Well, well..." began the violet-eyed girl still smiling at Rias, "Is someone angry?" Akeno told Rias more of a statement, than a question.
"W-what are you talking about? I'm not angry..." Rias answer now in the complete confusion with an invisible blush on her cheeks, 'Why am I disturbed to see Gohan with Akeno so much?' Rias thought to herself try to reason her sudden anger.
These feelings were weird for Rias, she had never acted this way before, but she couldn't deny that Gohan was a very interesting person with his powers and abilities.
She was only interested in his powers and nothing else! Right? (You can't fight temptation)
"Okay..." Gohan murmured in disbelief at Rias reaction, "How are you feeling Issei?" He asked the chestnut tree as he tried to change the subject.
Gohan knew that Issei was in perfect condition, but he could feel that the energy of the chestnut had changed a little, he was no longer human but a Devil like Rias and Akeno.
"I feel better than ever!" Exclaim Issei as he stretched his hands to the sky.
"Really..." the Demi-Saiyan began as he looks at him closely, "I can tell." Gohan continue as he looks at Rias who had stopped looking angry and gave a nod to the dark-haired boy to confirm that Issei already knew everything.
RIGGGGNNNNNTTTTT... The school bell rang indicating that classes had started.
"We better hurry Gohan or we'll be late," Akeno said as she took the Demi-Saiyan hand, leading him to his classroom, but not before giving a hard glare to Rias.
"S-sure..." agreed the black-haired boy, "Bye guys." Gohan said goodbye to two before disappearing down one of the corridors.
"Bye..." Issei began as he watched the two walks away, "they seem to be in a hurry... Right, Rias?" he added when he turns to Rias only to see she have disappeared.
"This is a weird day." he whispered quietly before walking towards his class.
