Rias was surprised; she had no idea that she would be seeing her brother so soon. After Grayfia left Drake's room the previous night Rias felt liberated and relieved, but her feelings of paranoia and fear returned the instant after she saw the expression on her brother's face. Rias had always been the apple of The Demon Lord's eye, and she knew that he loved her more than life itself, but based on what she did and how he looked at the moment, she was a little scared…
But then she realized…her brother was not glaring at her.
Sirzechs Lucifer was known as the most powerful Demon Lord in existence, and probably to ever exist, and his aura certainly pronounced that fact. His presence was almost overwhelming to those around him, especially when he was not in his usual carefree mood. Rias grew extremely worried, not for herself, but for her boyfriend who was suffering under the monstrous gaze of the Demon Lord.
Drake stood motionlessly as he looked ahead at the older brother of his girlfriend, who was also the most powerful being in the Underworld, well next to Mundus, Sparda, and who knows how many other powerful demons and Devils existed.
Oddly enough, Drake didn't really feel scared of the man. He was worried about that fact that he slept with Rias had caused some implications, but he was just not afraid of the situation. By looking into the man's eyes, which were the same as Rias', he could tell that the man was not really angry…
"Are you Drake Redgrave, the son of Sparda?" asked the Demon Lord with a low and eerie voice.
Before Drake could say anything, Rias jumped in front of him protectively. Sirzechs' eyes barred into the soft orbs of his baby sister and almost immediately softened. Rias saw it clearly, and felt guiltier than before…she kind of betrayed the trust of her beloved family.
"He's not at fault; big brother…" started Rias with the firmest voice she could muster. "I was the one who planned the entire thing."
"Rias!" said Drake with a strong voice as he grabbed onto her arm and pulled her back to his side. The young man looked back over to the Demon Lord and took a step forward. "I'm Drake Redgrave.."
The red haired man slowly walked over to the younger man without breaking eye contact. Drake knew full well that the man in front of him was the overlord of the Underworld, the most powerful being in Hell, a Satan that ruled every Devil in existence, but he just couldn't read what was going through the man's mind. Sirzechs' silence was making the situation even more intense and suspenseful then before, and Rias was ready to jump in to protect Drake if need be.
"YOU ARE THE ONE WHO DEFILED MY RIAS!" cried the Demon Overlord loudly as he grabbed onto Drake's collar, "HOW DARE YOU TAKE AWAY THE INNOCENCE OF MY CUTE LITTLE BABY SISTER?!" Drake's jaw was opened but he couldn't utter out a single syllable…it was just not what he expected. "SHE IS STILL A LITTLE GIRL TO ME, AND YOU JUST RUINED HER!"
Rias released a breath that she didn't know she was holding, and her arms relaxed to her sides. She was just as baffled as Drake was, but she was somewhat relieved to see her brother react so normally…
Drake narrowed his eyes before he chopped Sirzechs' neck, causing the Devil King to yelp and drop him, backing off while holding his neck.
"Buddy, next time you want to try that... I'll shoot you." Drake growled as he fixed his coat. "You have any idea how much this coat costs?! Now will someone tell me what the hell is going on!"
"Yikes, he's got his mother's temper." Sirzechs muttered to Grayfia but Drake heard and narrowed his eyes.
"What did you just say about my mother?" Drake growled threateningly.
"We mean no offense." Sirzechs quickly said as he straightened.
Grayfia interrupted before Sirzechs could go on. "Perhaps it's best we bring this conversation somewhere private." The silver haired woman snapped her fingers and a white magic circle formed under their feet. Rias walked over to Drake as they felt the usual sensation of teleporting and held onto his arm. The half-Devil looked down at his girlfriend and saw the worry in her eyes, and it only made him all the more worried of the situation.
After a few more seconds and the white died down, Drake saw that they were transported to their usual meeting room at the old school house. It was still very early so nobody was around, and after verifying that fact, Grayfia gestured everyone to the couches.
"Start talking." Drake demanded once he sat down. "I don't care who you are, I want to know how you know my mother."
"Because, Drake... your mother and father were friends of ours." Sirzechs said as he shared a look with Grayfia. Drake's eyes widened at what the Devil king had said. "We, and my wife, we're there the night you were born. We even held you. Sparda and Eva were at my wedding day, Eva even picked out Sylvia's wedding dress."
"Sylvia?" Drake frowned.
"Sylvia Lucifuge. My older sister." Grayfia informed, making him nod "But on a serious note, "I don't know how much you know, Drake, but both you and Rias are in a very dire situation as of last night."
Rias looked to the side of the room as Drake leaned in with confusion. "Look…I know that what Rias and I did might be considered premature or improper…but I don't see why it seems to have caused everyone so much trouble?"
"This is a very serious situation…" replied Grayfia stoically. "Before last night, Rias was engaged to Riser Phenex; the clan heir of the Phenex Family."
"E-Engaged?!" cried Drake in shock as he looked over at Rias, who immediately avoided his gaze. 'Wait, did she say Phenex?'
"Their engagement was determined before they were even born…" said Sirzechs, finally able to talk of the subject. "Our Father and Lord Phenex decided that an arranged marriage would strengthen the bond between our families, so Rias was offered as Riser's bride." The Overlord looked over at the guilty expression on his sister's face and sighed. "Rias has always objected this arrangement, and it seems that she had finally decided to end it last night."
Making sure that they explained all the points, Grayfia decided to clarify. "In the Devil society, especially those in the 72 pillars, moral conduct are heavily disciplined, and among these disciplines, female chastity is extremely important." Drake's eyes widened as he realized the gravity of the situation. "By consummating with you last night, Rias has breached a condition of the engagement contract, and freed herself from the marriage."
Drake looked over at his girlfriend, who was just inches away from him. "I-Is this true?"
Rias still refused to meet Drake's eyes and stood up to look at Sirzechs and Grayfia. "Why are you both here explaining all of this?!" cried Rias with an angry voice. "The engagement is called off; I am no longer a virgin and can't marry Riser; this matter should be closed!"
Grayfia shook her head. "No Rias…it is not."
Sirzechs stood up and looked into his baby sister's eyes. "We already notified the Phenex about this, and they were furious…" said the Lucifer as Rias turned to the side. "Lord Phenex and Father had a very heated discussion, but all that does not matter now because Riser said that he would still take you as his bride even if you aren't a virgin."
Rias' eyes widened as she back away slowly, "W-What?"
Sirzechs nodded and sighed. "Yes…he said that he would still want to marry you."
Rias gripped her fists tightly in anger as she bit her lips. "How many times do I have to say this?" muttered the young woman as she looked at her brother. "I don't want to marry him!"
Grayfia nodded in understanding. "We are well aware of that Rias, but I'm afraid that the engagement is still on at the moment."
Sirzechs nodded at his wife's words before he walked close to Rias and Drake. "But there is one way for you to get out of the marriage completely." Rias and Drake both paid attention as soon as those words left the Devil King's mouth. "And that solely depends on you…Drake Redgrave." Rias looked over at her boyfriend as Drake remained silent. "You are the man who took Rias' virginity, and by our traditions she is unofficially your wife, so you do have the right to challenge this marriage."
"Do you mean Drake has to battle with Riser?" asked Rias softly.
Grayfia nodded as she stood next to her King. "Yes…Riser had already decided to accept any challenges that would be offered to him. He has even offered up his Rook, Knight and Queen as maids should he lose the fight."
"They wouldn't happen to be Xuelan, Karlamine and Yubelluna?" Drake asked, causing Rias to frown and Grayfia to nod. "Thought so. It was him after all."
"What are you talking about?" Rias asked.
"A week before we went to the familiar forest, those three girls were sent to kill me by Riser." Drake revealed, causing Rias' eyes to widened and Sirzechs' eyes to sharpen. "They called my business and informed me of a rampaging demon in the outskirts of town, so I went, met up with them, and they tried to kill me. The demon showed up, I saved their lives, and they went home to report their failure, but Karlamine said they owed me a life debt for saving their lives."
"That bastard dare send his servants to my territory without my permission and try to kill my boyfriend?!" Rias snarled with her fists clenched.
"To be fair, it was on the outskirts, so it wasn't really in-" Drake stopped when he saw his girlfriend's unamused look. "Just stating logical facts."
"Regardless of that. Riser has offered them if he loses." Sirzechs said before he placed a hand on his shoulder. "If you are your mother and father's son, I know you'll do the right thing. If you decide to fight, then I will organize the battle, and if you decide to forfeit your right to Rias' hand in marriage, I will have my people prepare for the official engagement party between Rias and Riser."
Drake remained silent as he looked at the older man…
Grayfia sighed and gently held onto Sirzechs' arm. "Sirzechs, let's give them a few minutes to think this through…"
Sirzechs pulled back his hand from Drake's shoulder and nodded at his sister-in-law. "Fine…" said the man as he made his way to the door of the room. "We'll give you a few minutes to think this through…call us back in when you are ready." With that, the two walked out of the door; leaving Drake and Rias alone in the room.
As soon as the door closed, Rias looked over at Drake, who had his back facing her. She wanted to say something to him; anything that would rid them of the awkward and difficulty of the moment, but she couldn't think of anything to say. All she was capable of doing at the moment was gently reaching out towards Drake and hold on to his hand, but she was a little brokenhearted when Drake didn't respond back.
"Did it mean anything to you?" asked Drake, suddenly breaking the silence.
"What?" replied Rias, not really sure what he was asking.
"Our night together…" whispered the Cambion softly. "Did it mean anything to you, or did you just use me to get out of your engagement?"
Rias' eyes widened as she felt a jolt of pain in her heart. "Do you really think I would just pick out some random guy and sleep with him?" Drake remained motionless and silent as Rias spoke. "I'll admit that it was an ill-thought out plan to get out of the marriage, but I won't even consider it if I don't have any feelings for you." Some tears were welling inside Rias' eyes as she tightened her grip around Drake's hand. "I didn't know this would happen…I thought everything would be over by the morning and we would have time to figure out our feelings for each other." Rias let some tears roll down her cheeks as she looked down at the ground. "I'm sorry, Drake…"
Suddenly, Drake turned around and pulled Rias into his arms; he let the girl's head rest against the crook of his neck as he held her in place. Rias cried harder at his actions and started to sob into Drake's clothes; her own arms made their way around Drake's waist and held him as tightly as she could. Drake closed his eyes as he brushed his fingers through Rias' hair; waiting for her breathing to level out before speaking again…
"I-I didn't know Riser would be s-so persistent!" sobbed Rias as she dug her face deeper into Drake's shirt. "I d-didn't know I would put y-you in such a hard position!" Her voice was muffled because she was speaking into Drake's clothes, but her hurt tone was clear.
Drake calmly stroked Rias' hair as he pulled away from the hug; Rias looked up into his eyes as his hands gently cupped Rias' cheeks. His thumbs brushed her tears away as he rested his forehead against her own. Without a word, Drake leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on Rias' lips; it only lasted a second, but it made her feel calmer. The Half-Devil continued to kiss Rias time and again on her lips, and each kiss was gentle and sweet.
"I'm going to fight this guy…" said Drake suddenly in between kisses. Rias' eyes widened in shock, but before she could say anything, Drake kissed her again. This time the kiss was harder; it had a lot more pressure, and it silenced Rias for the moment. "I don't know who he is and I don't care…" said Drake again between kisses. "All I know…" Rias was pushed back against the wall of the room as Drake continued his assault on her lips. "…is that he's standing between us and you don't want to marry him." Drake tenderly cupped both Rias' cheeks and nibbled on her lips. "So I'm going to fight and take you from him."
Rias managed to pull away from the kisses and looked up at Drake seriously. "He's very strong and he'll kill you!"
"He's not as strong as me. I slayed the Demon Emperor himself… I won't be able to live with myself if I just let you marry him without even trying to get you back." Drake caressed Rias' cheek with one hand and held her hand with the other. "I want us to have a chance to discover our feelings for each other, and I would rather die than to give up before even trying." With one more kiss on her lips, Drake walked over to the door along with Rias and pulled it open without a shred of hesitation…
Sirzechs and Grayfia were both standing in the hallway waiting for them, and they looked over at them immediately after the door opened…
"I'm going to fight…" said Drake as he and Rias walked up to the Devil king. "There is no way that I would give up on Rias, and if she's going to be anybody's wife, she would be mine!" Rias blushed a little at Drake's words as Sirzechs hid a smirk. "Please go back and tell this Riser that I am challenging this engagement! And if he wants to give up three of his servants, then so be it. They probably don't want to be there anyway."
Sirzechs chuckled and nodded. "I knew you wouldn't disappoint me…" muttered the man before he crossed his arms together. "Okay, I will go back and announce you as the challenger of the marriage." Sirzechs walked over to his sister-in-law and turned back to look at his sister and Drake. "You have about two weeks to prepare for the battle…when the time comes I will have someone notify you the details of the battle."
Drake nodded and tightened his hold around Rias' hand. "Very well..."
The one hour that Sirzechs and Grayfia visited was the longest hour Drake and Rias had ever experienced, and it was finally over. It has been decided that Drake would meet with Riser at the Gremory Mansion in the Underworld in two weeks' time, and they would battle for Rias' hand in marriage. These battles had occurred before in history, but nonetheless they were very rare; especially if it involved two of the greatest clans of the 72 Pillars.
Sirzechs had warned Drake and Rias that many people would be at the battle. The families of both sides would be a given, but given that Rias was the Demon Lord's sister; the other Satans would be there as well. It would be an event that the entire Underworld would be watching; it would be an event that would decide the future of both the Gremory and Phenex Families…
A year after killing Mundus, now Drake was to fight in front of the whole Underworld.
"Drake…" whispered Rias softly as she rested her head on Drake's chest.
Drake relaxed his back against the sofa they were resting on and kissed the top of Rias' head. His hands were lightly petting the girl in his arms as she gradually snuggled deeper and deeper against him. It was warm. Drake could feel the warmth Rias' body provided him with as she rested herself onto his side; it made him feel content and peaceful despite all that had happened recently…
"Why did you agree with everything?" asked Rias without moving away from her position. "You accepted everything so quickly even though it was so sudden for you…" The girl wrapped her arms around her lover's waist and closed her eyes. "Why?"
"Isn't it obvious?" whispered back Drake as he lightly rubbed his cheek against her soft hair.
They were both silent for a good ten minutes as their thoughts wandered, and it was Rias who broke the comfortable silence. "Are you happy that you met me?" Drake was surprised at the question and held Rias tighter as she continued. "Do you think you would be happier if you had never met me?"
"Why are you even thinking that?" asked Drake rhetorically as he kissed Rias' head again. "I regret many things in life, Rias. I regret not being able to give you my own virginity due to a drunken mistake when I was 15, I regret putting the stress that's currently on your shoulders because of me... but I do not regret meeting you, I do not regret falling for you... and I don't regret taking your virginity and making you mine. And in two weeks, I'll show the whole Underworld, I'll show Heaven, I'll show the Fallen Angels, I'll show the whole supernatural world that you are mine. And if anybody wants to argue against that, then I'll show them why they should fear this Devil's power."
Without speaking, Rias pulled back from their cuddling position and sat on Drake's lap. Ignoring the slightly surprised look on Drake's face, Rias wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him firmly on his lips. Her breasts were firmly pressed against his chest as the quiet room was sounding with their gentle moans…
Rias pulled back from the kiss as a trail of saliva connected their lips. "Then are you happy about how we turned out?" asked the girl as she rested her forehead against her lover's. "We could have just been friends… but we crossed that line; are you happy about that?"
Drake chuckled and pecked Rias on the lips. "Again, why are you even asking; isn't it obvious?"
"I want to hear you say it…"
The Cambion smiled and held onto Rias' slim waist as he spoke. "Becoming lovers with you is the best thing that had ever happened to me, and I wouldn't change it for anything." Rias had some tears in her eyes as she listened. "Nothing has ever felt so right, and I will make sure that we will be able to continue to live like this for a long time."
Rias let loose a few tears again as she hugged Drake as tightly as she could. "I-I'm happy that we're like this too!" Naruto smiled and returned the tight hug. "We'll go train as hard as we can for the next two weeks, and when you win I'll be yours forever!" Rias grabbed onto Drake's cheeks and slammed her lips onto his again. "By hell, that speech of yours was so hot!"
Drake returned the kiss with equal vigor and started to shift his body down on the sofa. Soon Rias was lying on her back on the sofa as Drake lay on top of her. Their lips were still connected and moving vigorously as their tongues battled each other. The passion between them was even greater than the night before; any sort of uncertainty was abolished and their feelings were clear. In the few hours since they woke up after their first night together, their relationship had progressed more than the few months they spent together.
Drake explored Rias' mouth as his hands reached down to tug at her blouse. Last night's initiatives were all taken by Rias, and now the half-Devil wanted to act like the man that he was. With a strong pull, Drake ripped off Rias' waist coat and his fingers were pulling off the buttons on her blouse. Rias moaned when Drake's hand reached into her bra and fondled her large and sensitive breasts. Their new found feelings for each other had amplified their lust for each other, and Rias could feel Drake's enthusiasm brush against her thigh.
"Drake~" moaned out Rias as Drake broke away from the kiss and started to nibble down her neck.
The Cambion hastily shrugged off his blazer and threw it to the side. "I want you, Rias…"
Rias ran her fingers through Drake's hair as he continued to ravish her body. "I'm all yours, Drake; take me like you did last night!" Rias reached down and did her best to unbuckle Drake's pants, and finally succeeded in doing so after a few seconds. She help Drake kick his pants off and moaned a little when she saw the large tent forming over his boxers.
With his eyes, Drake could see perfectly were Rias was reacting to his touches, and his hand reached down to the place where she would feel it the most. The half-Devil pulled off Rias' silk panties with one fluid move, and his finger found their way to her most sacred place. Rias cried out in pleasure as Drake reached two fingers inside her to stimulate one particular area; she felt as if she was losing her mind.
"D-Drake!" exclaimed Rias loudly. "Faster!"
Feeling very passionate and rowdy, Drake pulled his fingers out of Rias' pussy and immediately leaned down to give the wet entrance a strong lick. Rias arched her back in pleasure as her lover's tongue made its way inside her; stimulating the same sensitive spot as before…
"I-I want you to make love to me…" moaned out Rias as she tried to level her breathing, "Hurry!"
Drake understood what Rias was trying to say and immediately reached down to the hem of his boxer…but he heard something on the other side of the room.
"Ara Ara…you are sure quick to act, Rias."
Both Drake and Rias looked over at the other side of the room and found that someone had opened the door. Them much to their shock and embarrassment, everyone was standing at the entrance looking at them, each with different expressions…
Akeno's reaction was to be expected by Rias; the Queen had a small blush on her face as she looked on at the scene with a smirk on her face. Akenow as also very turned on by the scene before her.
"I wanted to be the one to take have sex with Drake, but I seem that you beat me to it, Rias…"
Asia had an utterly terrified look on her face as she covered her eyes with her hands, "Oh God-!" The girl had a monster blush on her face as fell to the ground with resounding headaches.
Koneko also had a small blush on her face as she pointed at Rias and Naruto, "Rias, Drake… that's usually where I sit."
Kiba just stood still in his position not really knowing how to react…but he did try to hold the ever surprised Issei in the same spot.
'DRAKE!" cried the possessor of the Welsh Dragon as blood spewed out of his nose. "YOU FUCKIN LUCKY BASTARD, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!"
After everything that has happened in the last few hours, Rias had no patience or desire to explain everything to her peerage; especially since things were becoming so heated and heavenly. With a snap of her fingers, a red magic circle appeared under the sofa…
"We are continuing this in your room…" Rias pulled Drake down and kissed him firmly on the lips as the light continued to grow, and in a few seconds they were gone; teleported back to Drake's room…
The remainder of Rias' peerage stood still at the entrance looking at the empty spot where the sofa once sat…
"Ara Ara…"
And that's it for this chapter. So things are different than they are in canon. Riser and Drake will have a one-on-one fight for Rias, and Riser has offered Xuelan, Karlamine and Yubelluna if he loses.
By the way, I'm thinking of taking out Kiyome and having her in just a one-off lemon scene as payment for letting the Gremory Peerage use the court.
Let me know what you think in the reviews.
Harem: Rias (Main girl), Akeno, Raynare, Kalawarner, Yubelluna, Xuelan, Karlamine, Kuroka, Yasaka, Serafall Leviathan, Grayfia Lucifuge and Kiyome Abe.
