chapter 1: Beginnings

miracles were something that didnt occur often, but when they did it was something to behold. for a certain family of devils, emotions were running high at the sight of the two newborn children.

for devils, the odds of having children were painstakingly low, but even so, Venelena Gremory and Grayfia Lucifuge had both fallen pregnant within days of each other, much to the excitement and joy of those that made up the house of Gremory.

after 9 months, both women had been transported to the Sitri family's medical facilities for the births. and after hours of anxious pacing from the family and pain from the women, Keiji and Rias Gremory came into the Underworld.

as soon as the family had been made aware that the children were born, they had practically burst from the waiting room and into the room to see the sight of two ecstatic mothers holding their respective children close in their arms. for Venelena, she had given birth to a baby girl that sported the classic crimson hair of the house of Gremory, and their same sea-green eyes.

Grayfia on the other hand held the most unique child, her son Keiji sported silver hair the same as his mother, common of those in House Lucifuge, but the most shocking was his eyes, his left was the same sea green as those from Gremory, but his right was a striking purple common to the house of Bael, Venelena's previous house before she married into the house of Gremory.

the looks of shock the child got made Grayfia slightly annoyed, seeing them look at her child as if he were an oddity never seen before, whilst for her, she thought he looked beautiful, having traits from all three bloodlines that ran through him. "incredible..." Sirzechs Lucifer finally managed after he had stopped crying tears of joy, he was the happiest he had ever been sitting beside his wife, stroking his newborn son's hair softly, the shock of finally being a father just now sinking in.

he was also completely smitten with his new little sister Rias who had the same eyes and hair, just like him. with the whole family crowded around the two mothers, no more words needed to be said as everybody simply basked in the emotions that ran high in the room.

-13 years later-

tap. tap. tap. the sound of Rias Gremory sneaking through the halls of the Gremory household towards a certain someone's room were heard far and wide, unknown to herself.

as she reached the door she had been aiming for she slowly gripped the handle and turned it, a soft click signalling it was open.

Rias pushed the door open without making a sound.

her eyes scanned the large room for a few moments before landing on the mound of blankets that made its home on top of a large bed. Rias tip-toed up to the bed before grabbing the blankets and giving them a strong pull, releasing their inhabitant from the warmth they provided.

*snore* Rias sweatdropped at the sight of the silver-haired boy lying flat on the floor wearing nothing but a pair of boxers without a care in the world, his bare chest rising softly with every breath he took, much to Rias' own personal satisfaction as she stood there drooling at the sight of her nephew's well built chest.

by no means Keiji was bulky, he had more of a lean build made for speed and strength, like an athlete rather than a bodybuilder. finally shifting her eyes from his torso she took a moment to examine his sleeping features, his heterochromic eyes hidden by his closed eyelids, his silver hair falling across his face when he shifted slightly, his skin was a pale white of the same colour as his mother's.

Rias unconsciously licked her lips before getting onto her hands and knees, slowly crawling over to Keiji, her eyes gleaming with a hint of lust towards the young boy who was 'completely unaware' of what was happening.

closer and closer she got until her face was mere inches from his, Rias closed her eyes before leaning closer towards his face, her lips puckered as she moved to claim his lips as her own.

*bonk* "kyahhh!" Rias yelped, tumbling backwards as she she massged the red mark on her head, she lifted her eyes and found herself looking into the heterochromic eyes of Keiji Gremory. Keiji released a sigh, shaking his head at the girl's actions, unsurprised as to what was happening for what must be the million-and-first time it had happened.

an infatuated 13 year-old girl trying to claim a sleeping 13 year-old boy.

for almost a year now the girl had been trying to make him hers, but in her words she was, 'keeping him safe from any hussies that would try to take advantage of him'. 'honestly, i hope that one day she finds someone as perverted as herself' Keiji mentally mused, a certain brown-haired young boy sneezing as he was being taught the wonders of women by an old man. lifting a hand to his eyes as he rubbed the sleep from them, a yawn escaping his lips moments later.

Keiji rose up from the ground, reaching his full height of 5'8 which was rather tall for his age, paired with his advanced maturity compared to other children his age gave of the impression that he was older than he actually was, his strong physique only further increased this belief among those that met him for the first time.

glancing over at his cousin he couldn't help but look admire her appraisingly, as like Keiji, she had also developed rather well.

a few inches of short of Keiji's height, her crimson hair falling to below her waist, and like the majority of females she had grown quite a bit in the chest department, now having a bust and perfect hourglass figure that never failed to make most older women jealous.

"Rias what are you doing." Keiji questioned having finally pulled on a black sleeveless hoodie that showed of his toned arms and ripped black denim jeans, causing Rias to pout at losing her eye candy. before bonking her head and sticking her tongue out at the disapproving glare Keiji sent her way.

Keiji ignored her pleas for a hug and swiftly made his way past her out of his room, he headed down the hallway to his right as he thought of all the things that would be happening soon; the young devils, the birthday party of himself and Rias and finally, getting his evil pieces.

Keiji grinned at the thought of the last thing, his mind racing with possibilities of what sorts of people he wanted in his peerage.

Keiji finally reached a set of double doors, pushing them open and stepping into his personal training room. for his 10th birthday he had been gifted the gym as a present from his father Sirzechs, his mother Grayfia had began giving him lessons in demonic magic.

Keiji was someone who had a lot expected of him since within himself he carried the specific traits of three famous houses; the Bael clan's power of destruction, the Gremory clan's increased power and control over demonic magic, and the Lucifuge clan's incredible affinity towards ice magic.

one thing that stood out however was his Gremory trait, whilst a normal Gremory would recieve incredible control over their demonic magic and over doubled demonic magic reserves, Keiji had flawless control over demonic magic, being able to master magic that would normally take years in a matter of weeks, to add to this, his Power reserves were almost quadrupled. when it was found out that this had happened, the Gremory clan was astounded, even Sirzechs, the most powerful Gremory and the current Maou Lucifer only had his tripled, which made almost everybody believe he would become a very powerful figure in the future.

Grayfia had found that he, like herself, also held the highest affinity for ice magic, but also chaos magic which was the base for the Bael clan's power of destruction.

even through all of this though, Keiji didn't let any of it go to his head, in fact, it annoyed him to no end getting nothing but praise for what he was born with, not what he had achieved himself.

Keiji pulled his music player from his pocket, chose a song then placed it back before putting his headphones on and beginning his gruelling workout.
