Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Alluring Angel. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own DxD, Ichiei Ishibumi and a few others do.

Corvus arrived at the underworld and was guided by Grayfia to where Sirzechs was.

"Did you hear anything about the Fallen Angels? Lady Rias said the Devils had spies around here." Corvus asked Grayfia, raising an eyebrow at the wife of the Devil leader.

Grayfia noted Corvus called Rias by her noble title, she reasoned Corvus did it when not in her presence as she had asked not to be. He obviously respected the devil noble despite not being officially one of her group yet.

It did make her happy someone cared about Rias for more then status like Riser did… but it was her duty merely to serve as the maid of the family…. Despite being the wife of one of the 4 highest ranking rulers of the underworld.

"We haven't heard anything from the city. I'm surprised your taking this business so seriously despite being part of Lady Rias's group." Grayfia got a hum from Corvus as he looked to the side.

"These Fallen Angels are a threat and I believe the best thing to do would be to give the swords to Lord Sirzechs for safekeeping." Corvus stated, Grayfia nodded, a slight smile pulling at her lips during this time.

"Your very fond of the Gremory Family for a hybrid Fallen Angel/Angel, aren't you?" Corvus hummed and looked to the side once more.

He was indeed fond of Rias's company. He liked helping her, she didn't boss him around as much. she was nice to him and thanked him for his help… he understood her slapping him as he expected her to be mad, he went behind her back.

Grayfia noticed the blush on Corvus's face as he scratched at the back of his head while he chuckled nervously.

"Uh… I'm very happy to have her company. She is the reason I'm still alive after that fight a few weeks ago. Why do you ask?" Corvus asked, he crossed his arms slightly.

(With Rias)

"Xenovia." Rias walked up to the Church soldier who looked to the side, ignoring the woman before sighing and calming her twitching eye.

"I know you're interested in Corvus. You're not getting him." Xenovia was in her face instantly.

"So, you admit you bewitched him!" Rias heard Xenovia growl out, she fought the urge to grit her teeth.

This woman thought Corvus should be with her… purely because she served the church and Rias was a devil. While Rias was still figuring out her emotions? She would be damned if she let the church get its power-hungry hands on someone like Corvus.

"No, I admit YOU are claiming him simply because he's an angel! Your treating me like a monster simply because I'm a devil and you don't even know he's part Fallen Angel!" Rias growled out at the woman before she felt her face swing to the side.

Oh, she didn't dare just…. Rias growled out before blocking Xenovia's kick and slapping her to the ground.

"You did NOT just slap me for calling you out! You treat Corvus like an object, a weapon! Corvus isn't loyal to you because he's a soldier, he's loyal to you because he's nice! Corvus isn't a piece of meat for you to stick a fork into!" Rias hissed, jabbing a finger at the woman.

Rias didn't want Corvus around. he'd ask questions, but he wasn't going to let this woman walk circles around her. she hated the stupid idea that being a church soldier made her better. Rias was a warrior, but she wasn't someone who cared about the nobility of anything else.

But Corvus wasn't a piece of food for her to rip from a plate. He was a sentient being, a person who could chose his own path. The church wasn't getting their living weapon back as long as Rias still had breath within her body.

"Oh!? And you think your any better!? I see the looks you gave him, that longing! You only like him because he treats you as an equal and doesn't whine about getting missions from you!" Rias huffed and rolled her eyes before shaking her head and composing herself.

"I am not letting you get your hands-on Rias for the church… and second? this is my territory and the church is forbidden from this place… I am allowing you in because it is my decision to have you here. if you wish to do your own work, fine… but do not go behind my back… or I will have issues with you." Rias stated before slowly walking away.

Xenovia was left speechless from her enemy leaving her in a situation where she had no retort.

She thought of Corvus, what were her feelings towards him? she needed to think more on that.

"This isn't over, Gremory…" Xenovia stated before rubbing at her cheek and walking away to find more swords.

Author Note
