The Demon Faces the Phenex
The next day...
Today went by pretty normally. Asia transferred in today, Issei was with his friends and Asia was trying to fit in. After class while I was talking to Rias someone showed up. It was Grayfia, Sirzechs' queen.
"What are you doing here", I asked.
"I am only here to talk to Rias", she replied, "not some banished demon trash."
"Better watch what you say."
"Why is that?"
"Because I have my full power back. So now I am more powerful than you."
"But not Sirzechs."
As we were talking Rias had left. I was confused.
"I'm going home. I hope I don't see you again."
"Like wise."
As I was heading home I saw a red glow in Issei's room. I didn't worry about it. I headed home and
went to sleep.
The next day we were all gathered into the clubhouse. As we walked in I see Grayfia.
"What are you doing here", I asked.
"Wait Shido", Rias said as she stops me.
"What's going on", Kiba asked.
As Kiba said that we see a fire come up out of the floor. There is a familiar figure in the fire.
It was Riser Phenex.
"Riser has arrived", he said, "and I am here to see you Rias."
"Riser", I yell.
"Oh it's Shido. How have you been?"
"Give me a good reason not to kill you right now."
"Oh come on now. I only tried to kill you that's all."
"Yeah only."
"Anyway", Rias said.
"Right", Riser answered.
They sit down.
"Well when are you going to accept my love my fiance."
"Wait you two are getting married", Issei asked.
"That's right."
"That's not going to happen", Rias said.
"You know Sirzechs wants it to happen."
"My brother has nothing to do with me."
After that statement Riser grabbed Rias and I punched him in his stomach. After then his entire household came.
They all came after me. One after the other they tried to attack me but just met the same fate as their master.
"Is this all you can do", I ask them. "Pathetic."
As I charge for the final attack Grayfia stops me.
"Sirzechs did not think you would be back Shido but in any case, Sirzechs said that if this would not be settled peacefully, then we are going to have to settle it
in a rating game."
"Tell my brother that we accept", Rias said.
"Tell him I'm in it too for Rias", I said.
"Fine I will let him know. Also Rias you do get a handicap. You get one week to train with your
team."
"Fine with us. We will take Riser on in this rating game and win."
Grayfia left and I feel that we can take on Riser and win.
"Rias I may be with you on this one, but I am only in this for myself", I tell her, "See you when
we train."
"We will see Rias", Riser said, "and when I win we will be married."
"Don't tempt me to start us off before we even begin because we all know that turned out the last time."
"I just hope nothing bad happens to you before we start. I want the pleasure of taking you out myself."
"Don't count on it. Because I am the one who'll take you out. But I refuse to kill you. You deserve to live with those memories."
"I hope I get to kill you during the game."
After he says that to me Riser and his household leaves and Rias turns to me.
"Whatever you do Shido don't kill him", she said.
"Why", I ask.
"I want to."
"No promises."
We laugh a little but we both knew the other was serious.
