Those perverts are following her again, Koneko was getting really fed up with them.

But she wouldn't have to deal with them, not if she could reach her current destination without looking desperate.

Senpai would get rid of them like he always does, then she could eat her Lunch in peace.

Koneko reached the far corner of the schoolyard, she crossed through the bushes and found her Senpai relaxing under the shady tree as usual.

"Ah, there you are, Koneko"

"They're following me again" she said simply.

Her Senpai's kind expression turned into a scowl as he stood up. "Again? They never learn"

Koneko received a head pat, she loved when he did that, not that she would tell him.

"I'll be back in a minute" he crossed through the shrubbery.

Koneko began to unpack her lunch, getting ready to eat.

Then, three distinct yells of pain were heard, probably through the whole school.

Her Senpai returned after another minute and sat down under the tree. "There we go, it won't be long until Sona comes for me though, I think Tsubaki saw me this time-Huh?"

Koneko took a seat in his lap, acting like everything was normal.

"Yare yare, what brought this on?"

Koneko wasn't going to let her Senpai get in trouble.

Just like he said, Sona did come for him after a few minutes.

"Koji-San, can you please come with me?"

"May I ask why?"

"Tsubaki reported that she saw you beating up three students on campus"

"I think you might have the wrong guy, I've been stuck here with Koneko for a while"

"Is that true, Toujou-san?"

"Hai"

Sona sighed and walked away, though Koneko was sure she wouldn't give up so easily.

"Hmh, looks like we saved each other from trouble"

XXXX

Koneko would never say this to anyone, but she really liked her Senpai.

Though he looked like any other average student on campus, with black hair and blue eyes.

Her heart flutters whenever he smiles at her, she has trouble keeping herself from leaning on him or sitting in his lap when they're together, and she has even had a few dirty thoughts about him.

She could also feel something inside him, some sort of power…

Normally she would report these feelings to Buchou, but she doesn't want to lose her Senpai to her or Akeno.

It was only a matter of time until Buchou found out though…

'Senpai is mine…'

That thought made her happy.

XXKIROXX

(The cat seems to have developed a romantic attraction to you)

'Really, Invicta? I hadn't noticed' Kiro responded sarcastically as he continued to pet a sleeping Koneko.

(I know, I meant that she's attracted to you, not because of me)

'So it's not because of the self-proclaimed 'sexy Goddess' locked in my soul?'

(Hey! I'm not a Goddess, it was a figure of speech…)

'Yeah, but possessing you apparently makes me invulnerable to literally everything, that's quite the power to have'

(Indeed)

'How did you get sealed if you were invulnerable to everything?'

(I already told you, I allowed myself to be sealed away in a sacred Gear)

'Why?'

(I was bored…)

'And all that boredom has turned you into a super pervert'

(Hey, being locked away for decades can make a girl pent up, ya know)

'The very first thing you said to me was 'ohh, a host with a big-'

(You don't need to remind me…)

'As if that wasn't enough, you rape me every night in my subconscious'

(It's not rape if you like it~)

'I don't like it'

(That's not what you usually say at night~)

'Anyway, the Sitri Devil is probably going to try and recruit me, I think I should join the Gremory though'

(So you can get that pretty little kitty in your bed?~)

'No, I don't need more girls in my bed, subconsciously or not'

Kiro looked to his side, where Koneko was leaning into him. "Hey, Koneko"

"Yes?"

"Do you think you could get me a spot in that club of yours?"

He could feel her go rigid, which confused him slightly.

"I..I don't think so"

"Oh, thats a shame, if I couldn't join your club, I might have to appeal to Sona"

"I-i could try though" Koneko spoke quickly.

Kiro held back a smirk. "That's good, it will be nice spending more time with you"

She turned her head away from him, most likely hiding a blush.

"I-i'll be back soon" she got up and stepped through the shrubbery.

(that girl is definitely in love with you, and she doesn't even realize it yet)

'Mhm, but i'm not out of trouble yet'

"Hiding in the bushes isn't like you, Sona"

The Student Council President stepped out of a particularly tall group of bushes, brushing off her uniform in the process.

"There's only one way you could have known I was still here…"

Kiro's blue eyes flashed briefly. "What about it, Devil?" he asked in a lower voice.

The atmosphere grew...cold, it seemed.

The air was tense, the Devil standing above him even more so.

"You...you know?"

"I do, I know everything, Sona Sitri"

Her flat expression cracked slightly. "H-how...that's not possible unless...you have-"

"Maybe I do, what are you going to do about it?"

"If you do have a Sacred Gear, that means it would be in your best interest to join Rias or myself"

"Oh I know, and i've decided to join Rias Gremory, i'm sure she's very happy to hear that, aren't you?" Kiro turned his head to where Rias and Koneko were standing on the other side of the small space.

"I am indeed, though I am disappointed in Koneko for not telling me about you sooner, i'm glad you made a wise decision"

'Oh boy, here it comes'

"Are you saying it wouldn't have been wise for him to pick me?" Sona asked in a mildly offended tone.

"I didn't say that, did I?"

"You were insinuating it"

"I was only saying he made a good choice"

"That makes it sound like I would have been a bad choice"

Kiro slowly snuck over to Koneko and began to walk away from the two girls now arguing over him.

Even walking away, Kiro could hear the argument devolve into him choosing Rias because of her large 'assets' and how Sona was boring, and a workaholic.

If only they knew it was none of those reasons, because the real one was by his side.

(Aha! I knew it!)

'Ok, ok. You got me, it's not my fault though, Koneko is too cute to ignore'

(So you have a kink for younger girls?)

'Where in all of hell did you pull that from? All I said was she is cute, anyone would agree with me'

(Yeah, but did you see those melons? They're bigger than mine…)

'Aww, is someone jealous?'

(Maybe…)

"Senpai"

Kiro was brought back to reality by Koneko, who had tugged on his sleeve.

"Yes?"

She pointed to the old school house, which he almost walked directly into, like an idiot.

"Oh, sorry, I was lost in thought"

(Ooh, tell her you were thinking about her!)

'Shut up'

"I think it's time we drop the charade, Koneko. I know what you are, you know what I posses"

"Hai…"

(Dont mention anything about her being a Nekomata)

'Why?'

(Just...don't, you'll know why later)

'Ok…'

"Ahem"

Kiro was brought out of his inner conversation again, this time it was by Rias, who had caught up to them.

"Let's get to the club room, we can discuss things further there"

"You got it"

X

Once they were inside the club room, he was introduced to the other two.

Kiba Yuuto and Akeno Himegima, Invicta told him that Akeno was half Fallen Angel.

"So, now that you know everyone, and you apparently already know all the basic stuff, why don't you tell us what your powers are, it will help me in deciding what piece to use"

"Well, I'm immune to every kind of physical damage as well as every type of offensive magic"

Silence…

"That's not possible, there's no way you can-"

"If you don't believe me, then hit me we something" he looked around, he was able to notice a mischievous expression on Akeno's face before he was struck by a bolt of lightning.

"Akeno!"

The dust cleared to reveal him completely unharmed, his uniform however, was not so lucky.

"Well, that was unexpected…" he spoke quietly.

"Y-you-"

"I'm immune to everything, and I also can't feel pain"

"Aww~ I wanted to hear you scream"

'The Queen is a sadist...noted'

"Hey Kiba, go ahead and hit me with your sword"

"Are...are you sure?"

"Very"

All was quiet, Kiba hesitated just a bit, but then he swung.

*clang*

The sword hit and bounced off, almost as if he hit a wall with it.

"Is that all you got?"

Kiba was quiet for a second, before he swung again, but harder.

*CLANG*

"See?"

"Yeah...I guess a Rook piece would work best for you…"

Koneko perked up as she heard that, she was a Rook too.

"Yeah, I guess being a Rook would suit me best. I'm an indestructible meat shield, why not give me the strength to take a hit and hit back harder"

Once the ritual was complete, Kiro could feel something change, not just the addition of the piece.

'What just happened?'

(It seems being turned into a Devil has given you a….shall we say, 'upgrade', of sorts)

'What kind of upgrade?'

(I can't really explain it, some sort of mutation in your body occurred)

'What was it?'

(...I don't know…)

'Fantastic…'

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

'I guess this is my life now…' Kiro thought as he sat, trapped in one spot by Koneko, who was sitting in his lap.

She was snacking on a tray full of sweets, every once in a while though, he would have a cookie or a piece of candy put in his mouth if he tried to say something.

Most recently was a piece of a chocolate bar, it wasn't half bad, he idly wondered where she had gotten them from.

He might get some.

"Kone-hah!" he caught her hand before she could stuff his mouth again. "You have to let me get up eventually, not that I don't like this, but I need to go for a walk"

She didn't move.

"I promise i'll come back, ok?"

She gave in, though he could tell she wasn't happy about it.

Kiro made it all of one step away from the old school house before he was stopped.

"Koji-san"

Kiro stopped and turned to see none other than Sona Sitri, what does she want now?

"Can I help you?"

"I just wanted to confirm something" a smile, be it a small one, came to her face, one that looked like a smirk, almost. "Rias told me that you are immune to all forms of physical and magical damage, is that correct?"

"Indeed"

"Thats good, because I've really, really, been wanting to do this for a while now"

Faster than Kiro could react, a large spike of ice magic created a bat in Sona's hand.

*WHACK*

Which she then used to hit him over the head, that wouldn't have been so bad…

If it didn't hurt.

Kiro was knocked to the ground, holding his head.

"Ow…" it didnt hurt that much, but it still hurt.

"I feel much better now" Sona spoke as she turned and walked away.

(I think I just figured out what that mutation did)

'Oh really now?'

(it seems you can feel pain now, though only for a short time)

The stinging pain did fade pretty quickly, but he was never able to feel pain before now.

'Great…'

Kiro stood up and continued to go on his walk, he just needed one.

Something his mother told him.

"If you don't take a walk every now and then, you'll never get to see anything, and you'll get fat and lazy like your father"

"Oi!"

Ahh, the good ole days.

"Hah-ahh!"

Kiro was brought out of his memories by the sound of a girl's voice.

"Owww…"

He spotted a girl in some sort of green colored robes with a suitcase not too far away.

It seems she tripped, over what had yet to be discerned.

"Are you ok, miss?"

"Ahh, yes. I'm ok…"

"You dont seem ok" Kiro helped her up and got a good look at her.

…

(~ooh~ this one's cute, are you gonna claim her too?)

'Stuff it, pervert'

(i'd love to~)

Kiro sighed and turned his attention to the girl.

"Are you new to this town?"

"Yes, I just came here from Europe, I was assigned to go to the Church here"

'The Church? That old crumbing one?'

"The Church here isn't used anymore, and it hasnt been for a while"

"Oh...I-"

"Excuse me, I'm going to need you to hand her over"

A Fallen Angel?

"Not happening" Kiro got in front of the girl. "If you want her, you're going to have to get through me"

The Fallen rolled her eyes and created a light spear. "Look, kid. I don't want to kill you, but I will if I have to"

"You say that like you have the ability to kill me"

"Did they not tell you? Ugh, Devils"

"D-Devils?" The girl began to shake in fear.

"Yeah, I'm a Devil, but I'm not going to hurt you"

"I'll give you one more chance"

Kiro grew a vicious smirk and crossed his arms. "No"

"You asked for it"

*SHATTER*

The spear hit his abdomen and shattered into fragments of light.

'Damn that stings…'

"What!?"

"You're going to have to try harder than that"

The Fallen created more spears and threw them, they didn't do anything the first didn't.

"Is this really the best you have?"

"H-how!? You should be dead!"

"Well as you can see, I'm not. Those little pins can't hurt me"

(Well-)

'Shut up'

The Fallen sprouted her wings and flew off.

Kiro turned to the girl and smiled, then noticed the look of fear.

"Hey, I'm not going to hurt you, not all Devils are evil"

"You...you're not going to...defile me?"

"No, I'm not going to defile you, I want to help you" Kiro turned to a bush not too far away. "Koneko, tell Buchou to meet me at the abandoned Church, alone"

The white haired girl slowly rose from the bush with a blush, she was caught.

"Hai…"

"Who was that?"

"That is a friend, don't worry, let's go"

XXXXX

"Kiro, you can't go in there alone, I won't allow it"

"Have you forgotten that they can't hurt me?"

"That doesn't matter! You will not go in there"

"What exactly are you going to do to stop me?"

"As your King, I order you to come back to the club room"

"There is no reason I can't go in there, I'll flush out the Fallen Angels"

"You are not going, that is final"

"Fine, fine. We need to help Asia anyway"

"Thank you"

XXXX

'Who is this guy?'

(Riser Phoenix)

'And the maid?'

(Grayfia Lucifuge, the Devil Kings wife)

"I refuse to marry you, Riser"

Kiro wanted to do something, but Koneko was sitting in his lap, he couldn't move without hurting her.

"Are these your servants? This is it?"

"So what if it is?"

"Riser has all fifteen pieces"

At that second, fifteen girls appeared in the room.

Kiro couldn't resist, he moved Koneko from his lap and stood up.

"Listen asshole, not a single person in this room cares about you or who you are, if anything, I'm more concerned for these poor girls. They have the misfortune of being stuck with you"

"Who the hell do you think you are, boy?"

"Kiro! Stop!"

"I'm no one special, just the only one with the balls to tell you to fuck off, so do yourself a favor, and fuck off"

"Hmh, Mira. Teach him a lesson"

One of the girls, one with a staff rushed at him.

*CRACK*

The staff shattered over his head, Kiro didn't feel any pain though.

"Was that supposed to hurt?" He spoke with a smirk.

The girl in front of him looked at her broken weapon and moved back to the crowd.

"That is enough, Lord Phenex, I believe you should be going"

XXX

'A rating game, huh?'

(I know you're a rook and all, but seriously?)

'What? It's not much'

Kiro was climbing a hill to the Gremory estate, he was asked to carry a bag containing a bunch of rocks to the top as the beginning of his training.

He accepted, and now was doing just that.

The other members of the peerage were riding atop the bag, that's how big it was, all except for Koneko and Kiba.

Koneko was content at walking by his side, at the cost of needing to carry a bag full of bricks and rocks.

Kiba was doing the same, except he had run up and down the hill at least ten times.

The walk was a long one, he could see Koneko beginning to show signs of fatigue.

He offered to carry her bag, she refused.

After a while he asked again, she refused again.

After some more time, Krio had to reach out and grab her before she fell over in exhaustion.

He tossed her bag aside and carried her to the top in a princess carry.

He was sure her face would be pink if she had passed out.

He could also hear idle chatting between the King and Queen, something about the two of them looking good together, and Akeno being a bit jealous.

Their new Bishop was up there, though he had not heard her say a word yet.

Once they reached the top, they found Kiba laying in the grass, he placed Koneko beside him and placed the bag down carefully.

Kiro helped Asia down, then Akeno, then caught Rias as she slipped trying to climb down.

"Are you sure we are the ones that need training?"

"Please put me down…"

Kiro didnt need much training as Invicta actually helped him train in his subconscious, when she wasnt raping him, that is, she's actually useful.

(mou~)

'Dont act all innocent, it's the truth'

"So, I guess i'll just sit and watch, there's nothing much I can do. I don't have any affinities with magic, and there is literally nothing they can do that will hurt me"

"Its not very fair if the rest of us have to train and you don't" Kiba spoke out.

"Why don't you hit me with your sword again and tell me I need to train anything"

Kiba did just that, he created a sword and swung as hard as he could.

*CRACK*

The blade snapped in half on contact, leaving Kiro completely fine.

"Ooh, I almost felt that"

"Right…"

"My turn!"

"w-wha-*WHACK*

Kiro severely miscalculated his Rook strength, he only meant to hit Kiba, not so hard that he flew back all the way down the hill…

"Whoops…"

"I-is he ok!?"

"He's probably fine...right?"

Kiba slowly got to his feet and began to trudge back up the hill.

"See, he's fine!"

"Anyway, I have an idea for you Kiro, meet me behind the estate. We'll train together" Rias spoke calmly.

"Me and you? Alone?"

"Is there an issue with that?"

"Well I just thought it would make more sense for me to train with someone who could actually take a hit from me, say, another Rook, perhaps?" Kiro spoke while gesturing to Koneko. "I know you're a King and all, but i'd hate to knock you out immediately. I mean, you saw what happened to Kiba, I wasn't trying to hit him so hard, sorry, by the way"

"Its fine, I guess I had it coming"

"I say we try it anyway, it should only be fair for each of us to test our strength against you"

"Ahh, you want to use me as a punching bag, huh?"

"W-well-"

"That makes sense I guess, sounds like fun, even. Lets do it!"
