Hey everyone, I'm sorry for not posting for months, with writer's block, lack of inspiration, and being inspired to write other fics, I've been slowed down. But, I'm glad to say that I'm back, or at least still alive. My only problem about this chapter here is Riser/Raiser's name (The wikia and manga both had different names) and that the end was kind of rushed. In the end I feel like you'll enjoy it, but before you read, I'm thinking about changing the spelling of my character's name again, instead of Mic"hael (The version that was always in my head, but looks stupid), i might turn it into Mikhail or something. That means either going back through all 12 chapters and changing it or just changing it for chpater 13. I don't know, but please leave a review of how you felt about this chapter and any way i need to improve on my writing and story. Flame reviews will be seen as irrelevant but acknowledged nonetheless. Enjoy!
The next morning was the same as the rest, with the sun shining through the shades into Mic'Hael's eyes causing him to awake from his slumber. He let out a long yawn and looked at the ceiling contemplating on what he was going to do today. Then he looked over to is alarm clock to see that he had overslept, which didn't concern him at all, he deserved the extra bit of sleep he got. But there was one thing that was motivating him to get up and haul ass to school, and it was laying right next to him, practically on top of him. Mic'Hael looked directly into the face of the still dressed up Mistress currently preventing him from moving, because every time he did, her grip would get tighter. All he could do was smile at the sight as he gently shook her until she opened her eyes and looked at him with a small grin.
"Why hello there cutie, I hope you didn't mind me sharing the same bed as you. That awful couch was too hard and rough, I mean, so are you, but unlike the couch, you can actually move." She finished looking behind her trying to make a hint to something that completely flew over Mic'Hael's head as he just smiled at her. "Something the matter dear?"
"Oh nothing, just happy to see-GET OFF ME!" Mic'Hael yelled shoving her to the side as he got out of bed. Before he could walk away to get changed he felt a tug on his boxers which caused Mic'Hael to blush. Looking back, he could see the Mistress with a grin that told him that she was up to no good, but it suddenly turned into a face of sadness as she let go and looked away.
"I never had the opportunity to apologize for the way I behaved last night at my club, nor was I able to thank you for saving me..." She started but trailed off, unable to continue.
"Forget it, it's done and over with, right now I need you to get out of my room so I can change and head to school." Mic'Hael replied pointing to the door, but the Mistress regained her playful smile, which caused him to smile as well.
Thud!
"Ouch!" The Mistress yelled as she hit the hallway floor, rubbing her butt due to the pain. Mic'Hael locked the door behind her and began to change into his uniform. "My he's strong, damn, I wanted to watch him strip, oh well, I guess I can do it myself while he's changing, but now what should I do?" She paused for a moment before an idea popped into her head. "I know! I'll make breakfast for him! What a perfect way to win him over!"
Ten minutes later Mic'Hael found himself sitting in front of a table full of typical breakfast foods. He felt shocked as he looked over to the Mistress, now dressed as a maid, and gave her a questioning look. She smiled at his puzzled face and took a bow "Well, I may be a succubus but I am also quite the cook, so I thought I'd just have a go at whatever you had in the kitchen and cook you a fantastic meal." Mic'Hael looked to his right to see his cabinets and the fridge were emptied of any edibles they previously contained. He thought about the cost of the next grocery run he'd have to do, which might cost him his whole allowance that his parents still gave him, but, he saw no reason why he couldn't enjoy a free meal. And enjoyed it he did as he sat there a full fifteen minutes later with the Mistress staring at him smiling with a hint of eagerness, which Mic'Hael managed to pick up on, but didn't care much to act on.
"Well, that was surprisingly pleasant, way better than plain old butter on toast. I guess there is a reason to keep you around instead of throwing you out." The Mistress felt relieved at his words, she had nowhere else to go and was about to thank him until he suddenly stood up. "Shit! I'm going to be late for school!" Mic'Hael yelled, as he grabbed the glass of orange juice and drank it in seconds.
"Maybe you should skip school today, dear, you had such a big breakfast and I think you deserve it" She said with a nervous laugh.
"First, don't call me 'dear', second, the club I'm in doesn't allow tardiness, and third, I don't deserve anything." He replied, as he began walking toward the door, but was stopped when he felt a tug on his shirt.
"I really think you should take a break from everything today." She insisted, with an almost innocent smile, which Mic'Hael noticed and decided to act this time.
"You really want me to stay home, don't you?" The Mistress nodded and her smile grew wider. "Right, any reason why you seem so nervous and anxious right now?" Her smile wavered a little, as Mic'Hael smirked at her response. "Looks almost as if you've committed a crime, what'd you do? Spike my drink?" He began to laugh as the Mistress gave off a weak laugh of her own.
"No, not at all, just worried about you, that's all." She smiled while rubbing her left arm as Mic'Hael let out a sigh.
"Don't worry about me, worry more about yourself, but hey, thanks for the meal, I guess you can say that makes us even." He said, turning away and walking out the door, leaving the Mistress behind as she watched him disappear with a concerned expression on her face.
Not too long after he left, Mic'Hael began to feel slightly dizzy as he walked on the sidewalk to school. He stopped for a moment to stabilize himself, covering his eyes, trying to snap out of it. His heart started to beat faster and a calm feeling began to take over. A smile slowly curved on his face as he lifted his head to see that everything looked like an old cartoon. Just about every object had a face on it with a big smile bobbing up and down as a random tune started to play out of nowhere. Mic'Hael stood there and took it all in, a reflection in a shop window showed him that he had also turned into a cartoon version of himself.
"Hey there Mic'Hael, shouldn't you be heading to school?" A voice said as he looked around to see a car parked on the street smiling at him.
"Haha, yeah Mic'Hael, you shouldn't keep your teachers waiting, tardiness is bad for your school reputation." He turned to see a door also smiling at him, and the talking door was right, he had completely forgotten about school, which caused him to start running only to have the sidewalk slide out underneath him like a carpet until finally, he zoomed forward. To the people who were standing by observing him they saw Mic'Hael bobbing up and down in a type of dance as he paraded down the sidewalk with a big smile on his face. The onlookers just shook their heads and continued with their day, leaving the drugged boy alone.
Meanwhile, at the ORC, a new face just made quite the introduction to Isse Hyoudou, leaving him in a state of shock. The man was none other than Riser Phenex, the one who is to marry Rias Gremory and become the next heir of the Gremory household. The annoyance of his sudden appearance was blatantly plastered on Rias's face, which Riser paid no attention too. "Cut it out! Riser, I said it before as well, I won't marry you!" Rias finally yelled as Riser put a hand up to his ear.
"But isn't your household surprisingly pressing about these circumstances?" Riser asked with a neutral expression.
"It's none of your business, Riser, I will choose my own partner, not have him choosing for me!" Rias retorted, still raising her voice which made Riser cover his ear again. "Everyone is hurrying it too much, they even promised that they'd let me do as I please until I graduated from a university in the human world."
The bickering went on for another ten minutes until the two finally settled on fighting in a rating game and was at this time that Riser thought it'd be nice to show his peerage to everyone. Of course, this caused Isse to throw a fit, especially after he started making out with one of his servants. After a few smart remarks from Isse, Riser had enough with the bullshit.
"Rias! Do you even discipline your students?" Riser yelled pointing at Isse who was still snickering at his remark about how a Phoenix was just a Yakitori.
*SLAM!*
The door to the club room suddenly slammed open as everyone in the room jumped in shock, only to see a familiar figure standing in the doorway. "Mic'Hael?" Rias asked, not expecting her pawn to show up in such a way. "Ummmmm, thank you for com-"
"Hold that thank you sugar boobs because I have multiple objects trying to talk to me at once so if you excuse me I'd just like to say SHUT UP!" Mic'Hael yelled as everyone stared in confusion, except Rias, who was blushing and in shock do to the boob comment. "There we go, I'm sorry but they just won't shut up, I never knew being in a cartoon could be so exhausting, not to mention that-OH! That tune is playing again…." He started to dance, wiggling his pointer finger and walked over to where Koneko was standing, and a grin formed on his face. "What's new puss-" Was all Mic'hael could spout before Koneko sent him flying with one punch into the clubroom wall. Riser looked toward the wall, then at Isse, and then to Rias. "I rest my case…."
"HEY! Don't think lowly of us! Mic'Hael and I are more than capable of roasting a tweedy bird like you!" A triggered Isse yelled, baring his boosted gear in a battle stance.
"Mira, do it…." Riser calmly said to one of his peerage members, who was just a young girl with blue hair and brown eyes with her appearance consisting of a white Haori with a red obi, which is worn under a red happi coat.
"Ugh, the hell happened? And how did I end up-"
*CRASH!*
Mic'Hael was cut off again as Isse was sent flying into him, sending them both back into the wall. Asia immediately ran over to assist Isse, pulling him through the rubble as he regained his bearings and looked toward Raiser and Mira. Asia began to heal his wounds, at this time Riser started attacking Isse verbally about how weak he was, causing Isse to grind his teeth in anger. He then looked over to Rias and offered to give her a handicap, stating that if they were to have the game now, the result would still be in his favor. After saying a few words of advice to Isse, Riser took a step toward his peerage who were waiting for him above his crest, but was stopped when he heard someone call his name. It wasn't a voice he was familiar with, but when he turned around he saw Mic'Hael standing behind him, dirtied and bruised.
"Well, this is interesting, you're the one who barged in and started acting like a lunatic, right?" Raiser asked with a smile.
"As a matter of fact, I was, I apologize for that introduction, I believe a certain someone at my residence spiked my drink when I wasn't looking, causing me to hallucinate and act weird." Said Mic'Hael, brushing himself off and taking a few steps forward. "Anyway, the name's Mic'Hael Hanson, pawn of Rias Gremory, wielder of the Mortal Sacred Gear, and Freshmen at Kouh Academy." He introduced himself, holding out a hand to shake.
Riser looked him up and down before responding. "Mortal Sacred Gear, huh? I can't say I've ever heard of it, but as I said to your childish friend over there, it takes a lot of skill to master any sacred gear and sadly after that performance I'm still not getting my hopes up." He finished with a chuckle, as Mic'Hael lowered his rejected handshake.
"It's you who will be marrying Rias, right?" Mic'Hael changed the subject, placing his arms behind his back.
"Oh yeah, you came in late, how rude of me, I am Riser Phenex, the next heir of the Gremory family and your opponent for the upcoming rating game." Riser proudly responded to Mic'Hael, who only smirked and shook his head. "Something the matter, pawn?"
"Haha, no, it's just the fact that you're so confident on marrying Rias, but I'm sorry to tell you that it won't happen." Mic'Hael said with a smirk, throwing Riser off guard a little.
"Oh, and why's that?" Riser asked, with a smirk of his own.
"Because once we win it will be I who marries her…." He replied, causing the whole room to fall into an awkward silence, as everyone turned their heads toward Rias, who's eyes were wide along with a dark blush.
"I uh, that's not…..he's not-" Rias tried to explain herself, but was then cut off by Riser's laughter at the ridiculous reason, and took his time to settle down before getting in front of Mic'Hael's face with a serious expression.
"That was a joke, right? You honestly want me to believe that YOU of all people managed to make Rias Gremory fall in love with you? A pathetic excuse of a devil like yourself? I should incinerate you where you stand for saying something so insulting-"
"And yet I still stand here untouched you cowardly cockatoo!" Mic'Hael cut Riser off, going on the offensive. He got a tiny bit closer to Riser's face. "Listen closely, I have no reason to lie in front of so many people, especially my friends. You may think I'm lying but when the time comes where it's me kissing the bride instead of your shit self it will be I who will be laughing at you!"
"Y-you dare speak to me in such a way, pawn!? Mira! Beat some sense into this disrespectful shit!" Riser yelled in rage, as Mira acknowledged his request and lunged toward Mic'hael, releasing a swing onto his head, but was suddenly stopped by his sacred gear gauntlet, that he summoned at the last second. His grip tightened on the pole as he swung it with Mira still attached, sending her flying into the other girls of Riser's peerage. "I believe you said a sacred gear was only useless when the wielder was not skillful with it"
Riser looked behind him at his peerage and then back at Mic'Hael who was waiting for Riser to act, but was instead greeted by a small chuckle. "Well, I was not expecting that, and since I was able to calm myself, I find you to be unbearably annoying but, interesting. You managed to get under my skin and defeated one of my peerage members, unlike that pest over there. Well, as much as I would love to torch you for insulting me, I would rather wait till the game and not burn down Rias's lovely clubhouse. So, I will make my leave, I hope you bring more surprises to the battlefield, Hanson. I'll see you all at the rating game as well." Riser finished, as he teleported away with one last chuckle toward Mic'Hael. He was about to walk out the door when Isse ran in front of him.
"You bastard! How dare you take the heart of Buchou! I'll never forgive you!" Isse yelled, summoning his sacred gear and hopping in a fighting stance.
"Relax! I'm not marrying Rias, it was a bluff to anger and ruffle Riser's feathers. I don't remember how I got into the clubroom, but I do remember offering my assistance to Rias a while back." Mic'Hael explained, looking toward Rias who was being comforted by Akeno who was trying to ease her shock. He looked back at Isse and got close to him so that the others wouldn't hear. "Did Rias try to lose her purity to you at all lately?" '
Isse, blushed and looked away from Mic'Hael remembering what took place between him and Rias a day ago. "Uh, actually yes, but how'd you know-"
"I knew nothing, only that she'd play that trump card eventually, I guess it didn't work since her soon-to-be 'husband' arrived today." He stated, looking to the side. "Anyway! I'm out for now, and everyone! Sorry for the weird entrance, that was soooooo unintentional, anyway, I'll see you all tomorrow, bye!"
"Wait!" Rias yelled, breaking out of her shock and running over to Mic'Hael. She tried wrapping her arms around him but was pushed away. She looked at him confused and concerned seeing that he was looking away from her.
"No hugs needed Rias, nor deserved, I'll be going now, I'm sorry again for embarrassing you in front of Riser." Mic'Hael said, turning around and walking out the door, leaving the room silent and confused.
Outside of the door Mic'Hael stood there, deep in thought, thinking about a feeling he felt when he found out Rias tried to lose her purity to Isse. "No, can't be" He said to himself as he began walking toward the stairs, only to look back at the door, before shaking his head and walking down.
Well, wonder what's going through Mic'Hael's head at the end there? Guess he'll reveal that later on, or not, who knows? Anyway, I hope the rushing at the end didn't subtract from the story. The next chapter is a mystery, for now, but in time I'll make it happen. Remember to leave a review or message me your opinions, I'll see you all next chapter.
