Don't get mad, but the ORC isn't having the Dodgeball match this chapter. As funny as it was, I wanted to do something more original, as it also plays in part of the story I wish to tell. Please do understand but don't worry, while the Dodgeball match isn't appearing here, that doesn't mean it won't happen later on. I have another gag in mind once they get to the forest... just read...


Chapter 8: Journey to the Familiar Forest

"Familiars? Ya mean like minions from the Elder Scrolls games?" Asked Anthony. Currently, everyone was in the clubhouse. "If you mean servants you can summon at your own whim, then yes" said Rias. She wasn't much of a video game player, so she had no idea what Elder Scrolls was. Today, Rias announced that Anthony and Asia would be getting their own Familiars soon for all their hard work. Before Rias could explain, there was a knock at the door. "It's unlocked" Akeno said and sure enough, multiple people entered. "Sorry to interrupt, Rias Gremory" said a girl with circle glasses.

"Um, Anthony? Whose that?" Asked Asia. "That's the president of the Student Council, Sona Sitri. I'm guessing the rest of these guys are other council members" said Anthony, only because he recognized Sona as he's seen her picture in the school paper a few times. "Ah, Sona. What's brings you here, the Student Council have business with me?" Asked Rias, kindly. "Actually, this is more of a personal matter. I wanted to congratulate you on finally getting 2 more servants" said Sona. This confused Anthony, how did a human know about the secret life of the ORC Devils? "You look confused, hone. Sona Sitri isn't just the president of the Student Council, but next head of the Sitri Devil family" Akeno explained, seeing the confusion on Anthony's face. "Well, shit... everyday's a school day" said Anthony.

"That's sad, you didn't tell your new boyfriend about us? But I guess since he isn't exactly a Devil, I can't blame you for keeping such information" said a boy. He had short blond hair and grey eyes, but he had the selves of his uniform rolled up... he was also overconfident. "Its improper to get involved with the affairs of other households, Saji" said Sona. "Saji? As in Saji Genshirou, the new Council Clerk?" Asked Anthony. "Yes, and my Pawn. Forgive him, he's still new" said Sona, apologizing for her servants rudeness. "What a coincidence, this is Anthony Messuri, my Pawn and also a new member of the Gremory family" said Rias, gesturing to the Italian.

Wanting to make a good impression on this new group, Anthony decided to play it cool. "Its a pleasure to meet... wait, HOW'D THEY KNOW I WAS HUMAN?!" Anthony bowed, but then shot back up once he realized Sona's Pawn somehow knew of his human status. "News in the underworld travels fast, its no secret that the Gremory family had obtained new servants... though one that remained human even after reincarnation isn't heard everyday" said Sona. "Uh, yeah... guess that makes me unique, huh?" Anthony joked.

"Humph. Don't think your special, Jump-Man. You and your merry band of slutty sluts don't deserve to breathe the same air as the Sitri's" said Saji, still being mean. "Excuse me? And who gave you the right to police the air we breathe? Jesus Christ?" Asked Anthony, putting emphasis on the word Christ since a Devil can't say it without getting a flash of pain. "Think your so tough since you can say His son's name? I took up 4 Pawn Pieces, bro; you've got nothing on me" said Saji, confidently and obviously unaware of how many Anthony had. "Except the fact he took up 8" said Sona, making Saji look like a complete idiot.

"Wait, seriously? But he's a worthless human! How did this lame-ass butt-munching foreigner...?" Saji was saying, but he was caught off guard by Anthony summoning his Boosted Gear. "Listen Miss Sitri... with all due respect... can you shut your cagnolino up, before I euthanize him?" Asked Anthony, becoming angry but controlling his temper. "... so, the rumors are true. Your also the wielder of the Red Dragon" said Sona, shocked at first upon seeing the legendary gear, but recovered. "Damn right, and this is one Dragon you don't wanna piss off" said Anthony. All day, he put up with Matsuda and Motohama's antics towards Asia... he was not willing to negotiate.

"Saji?" Asked Sona, her tone telling him to apologize or else. "O... right, sorry" he said, halfheartedly. Then he noticed Asia. "And you must be the Bishop, pleasure to meet you" said Saji. "No, please; pleasures all mine" said Asia, kindly; making Saji's heart flutter. "Are you sure your not an Angel? Cause I'm sure you must've feel straight from..."

POW!

Saji was backhanded by Anthony's left hand, back towards his masters feet. "Oh, did I do that? So sorry... still trying to get a hang of this thing... still human after all" said Anthony, not being serious. Wiping his face, Saji stood up. "Whatever. How's that flyer business working out for you?" He snapped back. "For your information, bro... me and Asia just got promoted, we're getting Familiars and everything" said Anthony.

Sona looked surprised upon hearing this. "Is this true?" She asked Rias. "As a matter of fact, yes. I was planning on going to the Familiar Forest next week" said Rias. "Well, this poses a problem. We were planning on going the same week and the caretaker only accepts one family per mouth" said Sona, a little sad. Anthony saw this, and immediately felt a little bad. It's not like he was a Devil and needed a familiar right now, as cool as one sounded. He would have suggested they all go together, but there was no way in heaven or hell that he would allow that half-baked Pawn to go anywhere with him... especially with Asia around.

"Oh... well, you have more members than we do, and it's not like I need a Familiar right now. I'm willing to field it" offered Anthony, stunning Sona and her group with his generosity. "Same here. I don't mind handing out flyers for an extra month; I find it fun, I'll get to meet so many new people" Asia said, agreeing with Anthony's statement. This was unheard of to both Devil masters. According to legends, those who have inherited the Boosted Gear have been known to be power hungry or lost themselves when they discovered they possessed such a gear. To hear this boy, kindly give up his chance for a familiar, was odd yet refreshing.

Sona was about to thank him when Rias spoke up. "While my newest servant does indeed have a heart of gold, the final decision isn't up to him. I think in order to keep this fair, I propose a little contest... winner gets admission, sound good?" Asked Rias. "Your not suggesting a Rating Game, are you?" Asked Sona. "Duh what?" Asked Anthony. What was a Rating Game? "Oh no, the higher ups would never allow us to do something like that" said Rias. "Exactly my point, you don't wanna draw attention to yourself, especially..." said Sona, but Rias immediately cut her off. "Don't go there" she said, her hands clenching tightly. Anthony noticed this, was Rias ok? "I'm sorry, forgive me Rias" apologized Sona. "It's fine... in any case, why not a few simple games of sports?" Suggested Rias, to which Sona agreed too.

Something normal? Sounded refreshing for Anthony...

-TIME BREAK-

Or it would have been, had the games they did NOT involve the use of magic. Tennis was first, but the rackets they used didn't exactly come with magic-resistance, so it was a tie. The next one was a mini golf tournament, Anthony suggested that one, thinking there was no way they'd mess that up... yet the entire field was destroyed by magic-enhancing their golf balls (don't even get him started on the number of windmills they broke). They even tried basketball... while they didn't destroy anything, it caused a bit of a crowd to form due to the short skirts they girls' wore. The only reason they ended that round was because the gym teacher was trying to get his class going, but his students kept staring at Rias and Sona while they played.

That, and the ball(s) SOMEHOW connected with Anthony's face in each game, each time.

"Red Dragon Emperor? More like Red Dragon Magnet... how the hell do immortals screw up mortal things?" Asked Anthony, to no one in particular while holding an ice pack on his right cheek. He was back in the ORC room, awaiting the next sport Rias and Sona could tackle. [Good question] said Anthony's inner voice. Kickball, Baseball, Soccer, Bowling... hell, even something as simple as Shuffleboard! No matter what sport the Devils tried, it'd end in a tie and/or disaster. Anthony knew Rias was the competitive type due to her attitude during their game of chess, but... wait... chess... that's it! That was not only a board game, but it was also considered a sport!

Once Rias and Sona were about to suggest a game of archery... aw, hell no!

"Look, Prez! With all due respect, I don't think that's a good idea" Anthony said, getting up quickly and speaking before Rias and Sona started their next contest. "You afraid they'll shoot you in the ass?" Commented Koneko, but Anthony ignored her this time around... though she wasn't wrong either. "What I'm saying is, instead of doing human sports, why not do something your BOTH familiar with?" Asked Anthony, gesturing to the chessboard. Sona liked Anthony's way of thinking, why didn't they think of that before?

"Well, it's not a Rating Game, but I'll take it. It'll be like old times, right Rias?" Sona challenged before Rias could shut Anthony's idea down, and she knew why. While Rias was good, she's never beaten Sona at chess before. Though they'd get stalemates sometimes, it wasn't a win either. Sona took a seat; while Rias looked at the chess board, Kiba, Akeno, Anthony winking, Kone-... huh? Did she see what she just saw? Looking back towards him, Anthony held a confident smirk on his face... Rias understood now, and smiled back.

Sona took her seat on the black side, awaiting her opponent. She was surprised that Anthony sat down instead of Rias. "Excuse me Rias, your Pawn is sitting in your seat" said Sona, adjusting her glasses. "Oh sorry, you didn't know? Anthony here is quite the chess player. In fact, he's beaten me" said Rias, faking innocence. "So, he beat you once? Big..." Saji began, but that's when Koneko rolled out the chalkboard that she never erased. It had the record of Anthony's and Rias'... 'championship match'.

Sitri's house fell silent, a Pawn beating a King? This was unheard of. "... your lying, you probably wrote that earlier today" Saji said in denial. While Sona would have ridiculed her own Pawn, he did have point. Anthony spun the table so the black side was in front of him now. "Why don't you come and find out?" He said with a confident smirk, hoping this King would be as competitive as his own. While a smile, Sona pushed her glasses against her face with her index finger and moved one of her Pawns 2 spaces forward. "Alright... try not to cry when you lose."

25 turns in...

Anthony had to admit, Sona was a REAL good player. She took both his Knights, a Bishop, and 5 of his Pawns. He however; took both her Bishops, a Knight, and 6 of her Pawns. Anthony would make a move and Sona would counter it; or whenever Anthony baited her to attack, she didn't most of the time unless she had no other move. Everyone else watched intently, they've never seen such a game before. It was anyone's game at this point.

It was Anthony's turn again, he eyed the board carefully. There was a few moves he could make:

1) He could use his Bishop to take Sona's Rook, though it would leave it open to an attack from her Knight.

2) He could try and move his King just in case of a possible check.

3) His Rook could ram into her Knight without any risks to his other pieces.

4) Move his Queen across the board.

5) His other Rook was in range of her Queen.

6) One of his Pawns may kill one of hers, though a second Sitri Pawn lied behind it in waiting.

Anthony was about to chose the 3rd option when he noticed something... one of his Pawns needed one more space to get a promotion, he could change it into a Queen and turn this around. Going with that, he entered enemy territory and gave his Pawn the aggiornamento it rightly deserved for such bravery.

"Good move, guess you won't be needing this anymore" said Sona, moving her Queen into his original one. Crap! He didn't notice that, but that wasn't the only thing it caused. "Check" said Sona with a smile. How could he have been so careless? Now he had to move his King. Once his King was safe from harm, Sona moved her Queen again, taking his Rook! Anthony moved his Bishop and took her Rook without thinking, but she countered with her Knight. Dammit, 2 mistakes in a row! He moved his King again just in case, but that's when Sona used one of her Pawns to take the one that was by its lonesome.

"What's he doing? Why didn't he just take Sona's Queen?" Kiba whispered to Rias. She had no answer. Anthony's Rook clearly had motive and opportunity to kill Sona's most powerful game piece, but he chose to promote his Pawn instead. It was a good move, but then he took her Rook only for his last Bishop to be trampled by her Knight. Was he slipping? She couldn't blame him if that was the case, Sona had a talent for intimating others despite her proper manners.

5 turns later...

It wasn't looking good for Anthony now, he only had 3 pieces left, and Sona was closing in for the kill.

Check, Anthony had to move his King.

Check again, King had to flee the scene.

Check thrice, Anthony needed a miracle to win now. He kept moving his King, while Sona keep backing him into a corner with her much larger army. "FINALLY! Bend him over and screw him, Sona!" Cheered Saji. While Rias wanted to counter that, it really didn't look like Anthony had a chance anymore. Sona put him check again, his King was getting surrounded on all sides... it wouldn't be much longer now. "Checkmate... it was a good game. You have the skills of a pro player, maybe you'll become a High-Class Devil someday" said Sona, moving her Rook near Anthony's King and declaring she had won, but being nice about it. She had to admit, Anthony was skilled in his own right. In fact, there were a few times she thought he had her.

She was about to get up, when Anthony grabbed her arm from across the table. "If I may? May the King make his final move?" Anthony asked. This got everyone thinking WTF. Checkmate means the King has no possible move to evade, AKA Game Over. "You retarded or something? You lost! Let her go!" Yelled Saji. In this instance, Sona would have agreed with her Pawn for once... but it seemed Anthony was being a good sport. While the request was odd, she certainly wouldn't deny him. "Calm yourself, Saji" she said, sitting back down. "Odd request, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt" she said, thinking no harm no foul.

Anthony went to move his King one final time, his hand hovered over it...

...

...

...

Then he reached over, what was he doing?

...

...

...

He slid his Pawn over and ran over Sona's King, who had no defense against it.

"Yup, he's retarded" said Saji. "No... that Pawn... was promoted" stuttered Sona's assistant, who also wore glasses. The room fell silent. It was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop a mile away... hell, you'd be able to hear a speck of dust land on a piece of furniture; and STILL hear the pin! "Gioco. Finito" Anthony said, smiling. Sona was stunned, she looked all around the board for an answer, even though it was right in front of her. "But... but that's impossible!" She said, in denial. She couldn't believe it! How... how did he manage to pull that off?!

"Confused?" Asked Anthony, resetting the pieces back to the way they were... when Anthony first promoted his Pawn. "You had a strong defense, you kept your Rook in front of your King, preventing me from attacking it. You haven't moved it an inch since you put it there. So I had to lure you out by *air-quotes* accidentally missing the chance to take your Queen out for Pranzo, then made some risky plays here and there to draw you in. Once I moved my King back far enough, you had no choice but to move your Rook... and the rest is history" said Anthony, explaining what he did. While the ORC was ecstatic, they held it in due to overwhelming surprise; Rias especially. It was a risky plan Anthony executed, but effective. Seeing that he could promote his Pawn, he DELIBERATELY backed himself into a corner to get Sona to lower her guard... it was brilliant!

"Word of advice: Checkmate, doesn't mean Game Over" said Anthony, getting up and sitting on he sofa, while Sona still tried to grasp what had just happened. Rias couldn't deny she loved seeing the look of shock on Sona's face.

-TIME BREAK-

One week and one teleportation via magic circle later, the ORC arrived in a dark area. "Ya sure this is the place? Looks like my Nana's basement" said Anthony, whether he was joking or not was unknown. "Yup. This is were all the Familiar's live" said Akeno. "Hmm, guess that explains why she never came upstairs" Anthony said. Again, unknown if he was joking. "WHO HAS CALLED UPON ME? I'M THE FAMILIAR MASTER, ZATOUJI!" Yelled an elderly voice from the trees. Looking up; the ORC saw a man in a white T-Shirt and shorts wearing a backpack and a hat on backwards. "Who the Cazzo is that? The Bug Catcher from the Pokemon games?" Asked Anthony, unsure what to make of this newcomer.

"Bug Catcher? Me? Your a funny man, I see! You've come for Familiars, have you not? Stick with me, you'll get some faster than a speeding yacht! Just be sure to stay by my side, for I'll be the one to act as your guide!" Said Zatouji. "I think he's read 10 too many Doctor Seuss books" Anthony sweatdropped. "So, how can I help the Gremory families desires? Would you like a Strong Familiar or one that likes to set fires?" Asked Zatouji. "How about one that mutes crazy, old men out in the woods?" Anthony asked. He had a large amount of patience, but something about this guy drained it pretty quickly.

"Humph. Silly little boy, Familiars here and not your little play toys. Instead of trying to look for one that mutes... actually, I'll skip to your friend, she's pretty cute" said Zatouji, pointing to Asia who was hugging Anthony's arm. "Yeah, you just couldn't think of a rhyme for mute" muttered Anthony. "Oh... well, do you have any that are kind and fun?" Asked Asia. "Kind and fun? That's easy, done and done!" said Zatouji, smiling at Asia. "Oh, thank you, sir" said Asia, cheerfully. "Signore, aiutami" Anthony muttered, holding a flat palm to his face.

-TIME BREAK-

Leading the group through the forest, the old man suddenly stopped. "Oh my... look, up high!" He said, pointing upwards to a small creature. It appeared to be a blue baby dragon of some kind. "Oh cool, a dragon" said Anthony. He also had to admit, it was cute. "Aw! It's so pretty!" Said Asia. "Pretty, but dangerous too. When angered, Sprite Dragons blow lightning of blue" said Zatouji. "I've never seen one before, is it rare?" Asked Kiba. "Yes, I think so. This is the first time I've seen one" said Rias. "If you want it, now's your chance to claim; for once they get older, they can no longer be tamed" warned Zatouji. "Hey, Anthony? Since you posses a Dragon's power, this one sounds perfect for you" said Akeno.

"Ya think so?" Anthony asked, looking up at the baby dragon. It did make sense, since he already had a dragon, it wouldn't hurt to have another. "HA! Good luck with that. Those dragon hate males, that's just a fact" said Zatouji. "Oh really?" Anthony asked, eyeing the little dragon. "I actually have a way with animals, just watch me tame..." He started saying, but then heard Asia scream. Looking at her to see what was the matter, a foreign substance fell on this face. He yanked it off with a bit of effort. "The hell? Did Flubber have kids or what?" He asked, looking up from pulling the goo off of him...

And was met by a sight he'll never forget.

This goo fell from the trees above them, and it began to eat at the clothes... of the girls. "Ewwwwww!" Said Asia. "What is this stuff?" Asked Rias. Kiba began slicing some of the goo with his sword. "It's some kind of green sli- GAH!" He said, but some got caught on his face. "Oh my! Its burning my clothes! How naughty! It's making me slimy and wet" said Akeno. "Stop staring and help us, pervert!" Said Koneko, referring to Anthony. Not wanting to let this thing eat away at more of the girls clothes (which he couldn't help but think about for a second), he summoned his Boosted Gear.

[BOOST!]

Thinking one boost would be enough, Anthony aimed at Rias first... but then stopped because then he realized he might end up hurting her (that, and it was oddly sexy seeing a girls clothes slowly dissolve, not that he'll admit that out loud). "What are you doing? Come on, blast this stuff off!" Rias ordered. "I... I... I can't" said Anthony, then noticed how wrong that sounded. "Figures the perv would want this thing as a Familiar" commented Koneko before Anthony could explain himself. "WHY WOULD I WANT A DAMN SYMBIOTE SPAWN AS A FAMILIAR?!" Anthony yelled. "I will admit, the slime is fine. But in the end, its a total waste of time" said Zatouji, who had his eyes covered by the slime. "IF YOU PULL ANOTHER MOTHER GOOSE, I"M WRAPPING YOUR HEAD AROUND A NOOSE!" Yelled Anthony, pointing at the man with his Boosted Geared finger, having enough with Zatouji's speech patterns.

"I can't use my magic like this, hurry up and torch this slime!" Rias ordered again, the slime having wrapped her hands and blocking her use of magic. "The pain... it hurts so good, I might have to fight Anthony for it" said Akeno, moaning in pain/pleasure with the slime tightening its grip around her body. "I DON'T WANT THE DAMN BAVA!" Yelled Anthony, trying to make it perfectly clear he had no intention of making this thing a Familiar. "Then get rid of this, NOW!" Rias said, also moaning due to the stimulation in... certain areas. "I will, but... your gonna get hurt! I don't wanna blast you" said Anthony. While it sounded dirty, it was the only way he could describe what he was feeling.

"You'd definitely WANT to blast off at her, don't you?" Asked Koneko. Anthony would have defended his position, but now wasn't a good time. "I... I..." Anthony tried to say, but the words got caught in his throat for 2 reasons:

1) He honestly had no idea what else he could do, he refused to harm one of his friends.

2) The only thing left on the girls was their undies'... but even those were quickly vanishing.

"ANTHONY! BLAST ME! THAT'S AN ORDER!" Screamed/Moaned Rias. "ARRRRRRRRRRGH! SORRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" He said and with that, he shot an energy blast at Rias, the girl screaming in pain... it might have also been pleasure, but Anthony didn't want to think about that any further. Once the energy shot stopped, Rias was now safe... completely naked, and on the ground, but safe. "RIAS! Rias, you ok?" Asked Anthony, running over to her and holding her. "... I... I'm fine" she said. "I'm real sorry. I might have pumped too much at ya" he said. Looking over her, she was now cleaned of slime. "Don't lie... you enjoyed that, didn't you?" Rias asked, jokingly. Well, at lest she was feeling better. "Eh... maybe a little" Anthony joked back.

Drip...

MORE SLIME?! "MI STA PRENDENDO IN GIRO!" Anthony said, flicking off the small drip off Rias' skin. However, he had 3 more victims to tend too...

ZAP!

A streak of blue lightning shot from above, destroying the speck Anthony had flicked off. It wasn't from Akeno, but from the baby dragon! "Oh, thanks little guy" said Anthony, but the baby dragon gave no answer as it couldn't talk. It landed on Anthony's head, then zapped at the slime around Asia, saving her as well (how she went unaffected by the lightning was unknown to Anthony, but didn't question it). Akeno then destroyed the slime covering her with her own lightning, and Koneko threw hers off while Kiba sliced it into bits. Rias also used her Destruction magic to burn it to ashes for good measure.

"I can't believe my eyes, a Sprite Dragon defending a male? This is unheard of, its almost like a fairy tale" said Zatouji. Anthony facepalmed and growled. "Like I said, guess I'm unique" said Anthony, petting the dragon on his head. It gave a cat-like purr in response. "They also don't attack unless they believe a loved one's in trouble, guess that means they should be bound on the double!" Rhymed Zatouji. Glaring at him, Anthony was about to go off on the man...

ZAP!

But his new friend did it for him. As Zatouji fell to the ground, sparking; Anthony smiled and raised his hand saying: "Trovato mio."

"Well... this is sweet... let's hurry up and bound them, so you can lea-" Zatouji began to rhyme again, but Anthony's Sprite Dragon glared at him and growled. "... ahem... go home" the Familiar Master sweatdropped, not wanting to anger the Sprite Dragon any further... he needed a vacation after today. As the Familiar Master used some kind of magic, Asia went over and pet Anthony's new friend. The Italian also saw the look in her eyes... she wanted this one... "Alright. Place your Familiar in this magic square. Once you do that, it is under your care."

ZAP!

Zatouji had to duck to avoid that bolt of blue lightning... the tree behind him wasn't so lucky. "Alright, little guy, on the magic shape please" Anthony requested, the little dragon obeyed without question. "One thing you should know, read this" said Rias, now in fresh clothes and handing Anthony a small piece of paper. "... you serious? I HAVE to say THIS?" Asked Anthony, reading the note. "It's how the spell works" Rias smiled. Anthony facepalmed and groaned, with his about-to-be Familiar synchronizing his moments. "Ugh, lets get this over with..." Anthony sighed. As he approached his Familiar-to-be, he noticed while Asia looked happy, he could tell she also sad. "Hey, before we start, is it possible to bond a Familiar to multiple people?" Anthony asked Rias, making Asia look up.

"Why do you ask?" Asked Rias, curious as to why Anthony would ask such a question. "Just curious" shrugged Anthony. Rias could tell there was another reason, but let it slide. "It'll require more power but, yes; it's possible" she said. Hearing this, Anthony summoned his Gear for a second time.

[BOOST!]

"Good thing this comes as a package deal" said Anthony, looking at his glowing Gear. Asia just looked at him, was he really...?

[BOOST!]

"There's no reason to divide ownership of your Familiar, its very peculiar" said Zatouji. The only reason he felt safe to rhyme was because the tiny dragon was enclosed in magic, didn't stop Anthony from shooting an unamused glare. "... your lucky I'm boosting right now, otherwise I'd knock your ass from here to Moscow."

[BOOST!]

Thinking 3 times was enough, Anthony turned back to his pet-to-be. "Ok... ahem. *takes a deep breath, and reads whats on the paper Rias gave him* In the name of Anthony Messuri and Devils everywhere, I ask you to accept this pact and be my Familiar forever" Anthony said, but then added something of his own to the spell. "One more favor I'll ask of you also, is the be bound to me... and Asia Argento." That last line made Asia's jaw drop, did she really just hear that? The glow of the magic subsided, the Sprite Dragon looked up, and jumped into Anthony's arms. "Ok, go to Auntie Asia" said Anthony, which the newly made familiar did, purring as it nuzzled against Asia's chest. It took a few seconds for Asia to register what just happened, but she was incredibly happy.

"Looks like Anthony and his girlfriend Asia had a lovechild" Akeno said. "Yup, and ours alone" Anthony said, joining Akeno's joke, though this made Asia redden which he didn't get to see. "Ya know, they say Sprite Dragons' only accept those with pure hearts... maybe Anthony and Asia's childhood at the church has something to do with it?" Suggested Rias. "Who knows? Or maybe Anthony's manliness had some sway over the little guy?" Suggested Akeno, looking for a reaction from Rias. It had the desired effect, as her King ever so slightly twitched.
