Underworld Hath No Fury like Serafall

It did not take long for the news to spread like wildfire. The underworld was in full buzz, a marriage of Gremory and Dragon! An unholy alliance of power that sung to devil instincts The Phenex family were less than enthused and Raiser was frothing at the mouth to be presented with the suitor in question.

Serafall's desk was the first to feel her wrath as she cracked the table in half, her anger was so primal and raw she had lost control of her form, Serafall was no longer the adorable Loli but rather a beautiful taller version of herself, a gaze that would seduce men who would look upon her eyes, long raven hair locks and eyes of the finest Onyx. An alternate form she would sometimes use for fun and if she got angry enough she would alternate between either form, nickname by the asinine moron called Sirzechs, Angry Serafall…

I'm gonna kill him, I'm gonna kill him! What a fucking moron! That's what Serafall thought but her inner devil couldn't help but applaud Sirzechs had played it well. By announcing this not only had he told the whole supernatural realm that Issei was under their protection but he also had generated interest in Issei sucking him into the world of politics whether he wanted to or not… but the worst part… Issei would help him. Serafall knew it, he was too kind for his own good and he would help, the poor boy who suffered enough would be sucked in once again to this bullshit world.

Backhanding her already crumbled table to the side, her wall was now dented, Serafall just wanted to protect him… his smile… his joy… why couldn't she was she that weak… No, she wasn't. Fate was a bitch and Sirzech's was a dick. She growled in absolute frustration at being outplayed, at having not done enough… she was too complacent, she had relied on Sirzechs being a decent friend… he had betrayed her friendship but who wouldn't? she would do anything for her Sona, Sirzechs would do anything for Rias. It was that simple… family over friends…

Summoning a portal she stepped into it without hesitation the room flickered in incandescent light before she appeared at the Gremory mansion. Grayfia expecting her was waiting and all the other maids and butlers of the Gremory mansion probably scattered.

"Where is he?"

Grayfia paused, Grayfia was never scared, always ice-cool before speaking

"This way, he's expecting you"

Of course, he was, Sirzechs was a good friend but dammit sometimes he was such an ass. Grayfia and Serafall would walk side by side in silence for a bit longer. The silence was broken by Grayfia.

"I… hope you two can work this out"

Serafall gave the maid a side-glance from the corner of her eye before giving a small sigh. "Maybe, but Sirzechs should not have done this and you know it Grayfia."

"He cares a lot for Rias, you know that…" Grayfia added much to the chagrin

"And? That doesn't excuse him, sure maybe explain his actions but sure as hell does not justify it" Grayfia was shut down rather harshly by the satan.

Their rather awkward conversation ended, mercifully quickly as they arrived at the doors to Sirzechs office. Grayfia opened the door and let Serafall in, going forward to see Sirzechs seated behind his desk. Her eyes narrowed as they meet Sirzechs, his eyes composed as they always were as befitting a satan.

She closed the distance in a few brisk steps as she crossed her arms, tilting her head a bit.

"Zechs…" she spoke rather coldly fitting her mood

"Serafall…. I won't apologize for its rather hollow to do so"

"Of course it is you ass!" She bitterly retorted as he leaned back in the chair, a soft creak adding to the tense air between them.

"You did this all for Rias didn't you?" Serafall guessed with ease

"I did, and I don't doubt you would do anything in your power to protect Sona from a loveless marriage," he said smoothly supremely confident in his words, his sapphire eyes glazed into a firm uncompromising edge but also cool and unfazed.

"Well, unlike Rias, Sona actually tried to do something to avoid and fend off suitors. Rias sat back and did pathetic attempts to do so. You as well didn't do anything till now!"

Sirzechs grimaced a bit, he knew that was right Rias was a bit spoilt and laced Sona's intellect but made up for it with a social edge. As much as he held Rias up on a pedestal he knew for a fact that she and Sona had their different advantages.

"Rias was doing what she could" Sirzechs growled firmly, his older brother instincts kicking in

"Till 'big brother' had to come to bail her out… Maybe if you argued from the beginning to cancel the marriage she would not have been in that shit show of an arranged marriage"

Sirzechs stood up and stared into her eyes. "I could not do anything"

"Could not or would not? We both know that there is always something to do whether it works is a different thing" Serafall lectured

"What do you want me to say Serafall?" he sighed before he continued

"I did what I had to save my sister"

"Save your sister? You jackass! You dragged in Issei into this! Without even asking him! You manipulated this from start to finish without concern for anyone but your own selfish goals"

"Selfish huh?" Sirzechs gave a small laugh

"Me selfish? Aren't you being selfish right now Serafall?" he added

"You can hide behind wanting to protect him but is it not selfish cause… you care for him and want him to be yours and only yours... you want to protect him? You have your own goals, I have my own agenda." Sirzechs stated with some finality and smugness

"It's selfish to want to protect an innocent person? Someone who has suffered too much? Someone who needs a break?" Serafall clenched her fists as she growled in anger, baring her teeth a bit at her friend.

"Its selfish cause you love him"

Serafall paused, her body lurching a moment… where did that come from?

"Love him? No, I don't" she promptly denied scoffing at the incredulity of the words that just came out of Sirzechs mouth.

"You do, just maybe you are not sure about it? Love and liking someone is confusing" Sirzechs lecture calmly, Serafall was now pissed, he was just deflecting, she didn't like Issei? Or maybe she did? Regardless it didn't matter, even if she did like Issei it did not detract from how heinous Sirzechs act was.

"And? It's irrelevant, you know it and if you want to make irrelevant aren't you also being selfish cause of love for your sister? You just want to deflect. You know what you did is wrong Sirzech, I thought someone from the vaunted house of Gremory would care about humans…" Serafall said venomously, Sirzechs smacked his hand down on the table

"I care about humans, but at the end of the day Serafall my sister is more important than them. this was the best answer! I would not compromise myself politically, my sister would get a fake marriage with someone who from what I can see is a nice person and the devils would get some powerful insulation when word spreads of the red dragon emperor being a part of us. I did what I did for the benefit of the devil race, myself and my sister, sure it's a bit callous but I did what I needed to do."

"The ends don't justify the means if you say that we are no better than the old satan faction, which we fought to destroy. Why Zechs? You could have chosen another path but you had to choose this to drag an innocent person who does not need to be or should be involved in this!"

Sirzechs let out a sigh before sitting back down as he leaned back on his chair. "What's done is done Serafall… I did what I had to do!"

"Why Sirzechs you could have come to me; I could have helped! You could have done it… without involving him…" Serafall leaned forward pleading for an answer

"This isn't right… You have to fix this" She sighed as she shut her eyes and leaning forward onto his desk

"You know I can't do that…" Sirzechs spoke calmly and lowly, Serafall eyes flared for a moment before in the blink of an eye she pulled her hand back and smacked Sirzechs across the cheek.

The world seemed to pause for a moment before a loud sharp boom cut through the room, Sirzechs desk and chair was obliterated, the Satan sent across the room. The glass windows showing the Gremory garden were blown out. Sirzechs testament to his power managed to right himself as he was sent skidding across the room, his outfit shredded at the corners. Ice freezing over the skin of his cheek and a few blue crystalized lines running down his neck. His eyes flared for a moment as small bolts of destruction energy flared. The ice gently fizzing away.

Grayfia stormed in to see the scene before her "Serafall, Sirzechs calm down!"

Serafall briskly turned on her step, there was no need for words, Sirzechs knew Serafall would find a way to pay him back.

Serafall would finally arrive home, the angry stomping of her heels echoing through the halls and rooms. A miracle they hadn't broken yet, slamming her door with a loud thud that probably chipped the wood of it.

She would let out a growling sigh as she flopped onto her chair leaning back. Her eyes flickering shut as she massaged her forehead in exasperation. Sirzechs was an ass. She could sympathize with him, wanting to protect one's family. But do the ends justify the means? It was a moral grey area….

She also questioned a part of herself why did she care so much… he's just a human… The supernatural, in general, did not care for humans this was the rule and anyone who did care is the exception. Was she being selfish maybe? Why did she care so much? Issei was at the end of the day a human. He was fun and charming, maybe the best part… was that he didn't care who she was. He was just someone trying to live his life, he didn't care for power or money, he just cared for his friends. He also wasn't that bad looking. He… made her heart race….

Maybe Sirzechs was right, maybe she did like him… love him? That was a strong word, it held deeper connotations then it needed. Didn't seem to fit the situation either. She simply didn't know how to feel.

Glancing over to her personal bar beside her desk. She would lick her lip all the arguing had gotten her blood boiling and she was just really craving a drink right now. Moving over and just grabbing whatever alcoholic liquid in a bottle there was. She would grab a glass and pour the drink, before popping it back.

She could feel the sharp singe of alcohol on her tongue. Swallowing it with a small grimace on her face, she let out a sigh… a sigh of disappointment. Alcohol just tasted better when he made it, she really wanted a magic girl cocktail.

But what was she to do about Sirzechs… no one messes with her magic girl cocktail maker…. And gets away with it… no one… messes with… Issei
