Arisa hummed a little diddy as she cleaned the dishes. A part of her was still getting used to all of this housework. She preferred living off the land in the wilderness but she wasn't going to put her children through that. No. They deserved the best she could give them. Well not 'the best'. She didn't want to spoil them too much, especially since one day they would go out in the world. There were things they needed to be ready for and being raised in a rich mansion wouldn't just spoil them, it might attract some undue attention.

So she was happy to give them just enough to survive. Okay, maybe she did spoil her children. Their rooms were filled with tons of items they wanted. She just couldn't say no after all and it's not like they would go broke any time soon. She just hoped her son would give her what she wanted.

Arisa blushed as she thought about it. Her home filled with little children running around again. She couldn't have anymore children. Her lover…

No. She wouldn't think of him. It brought back too many bad memories. Still, she couldn't have anymore children by herself and she refused to take another lover. He was the only one…

She was doing it again. She huffed as she put down the dish. She wanted children, alright. Her memories of her own children, laughing and playing filled her with such joy. She wanted them to experience that. To raise someone of their own. To care about someone like she did for them. It's why she pushed for her son to have many children. Well that and because she wanted to be surrounded by grandchildren. That would be a plus.

No doubt the women of that school were swarming her son. He was the best of the lot. The only good one in her opinion. The rest of them were cretens. It was always the same. They never cared about their women. They were just beings of lust. Her father had shown her that rather well.

'He'll never see Theo if I have to say anything about it,' Arisa thought. 'That bastard can go crawl into the depths of Tartarus for all I care. He ruined my mother's life!'

Thankfully someone walking into the kitchen broke her from her inner hatred. She turned around and her world brightened, "Theo~" Her eyes widened as she saw the blushing, giddy face he had, "Oh my, did something good happen today?"

"I got a date," Theo dreamily said as he seemed to walk as if he wasn't all there. "I got a date."

Arisa squealed and rushed over, giving him a big hug. "Ooooh, I told you they'd be all over. What's she like? Who's my future daughter in law, hmmm?"

"Mitty Teller~"

Arisa pulled back and looked at her son, "That doesn't sound Japanese."

Theo shrugged but still looked on dreamily, "She was blond… I think European."

"Another exchange student?"

"Dunno," Theo chuckled, "But she's cute~"

Arisa sighed but smiled. It seemed her son was in 'lala' land at the moment, thinking of his new girlfriend. "So are there any other girls you like, hmmm?"

Theo frowned and scratched his head, "Well… I like this girl called Koneko. I give her sweets but-"

Arisa squealed again, "Oh my son has two girls after him~ I'm so happy."

Theo grumbled, "Koneko doesn't like me like that, mom. 'Sides, I've got to focus on my actual girlfriend now."

"Well don't forget to bring this Koneko over though," Arisa chuckled. She'd convince that girl to see her boy in the right light soon enough, "But I'm glad you've got someone, my little Theo."

"I'm taller than you," Theo deadpanned.

"You will always be my little boy~" Arisa said, "Which is why I'm going to have to talk with this 'Mitty Teller' to settle some things. Nothing major. Just a girl to girl talk."

"Just don't scare her, mom."

Arisa smiled, "Why ever would I do that?"

During class hours, everyone tried their best to ignore one of the biggest problems plaguing them. The boys found him odd. The girls just rolled their eyes while others giggled, gossiping. The reason they were doing this was because Theo's distant, blushing happy go lucky smile that almost broke his face.

He felt something jab his side and he shot up with a loud 'yipe!'.

The teacher turned to him, "Theo Olympus, do you have something to share with the class?" The way the teacher's eye twitched and his foot tapping told him that he was annoyed with his behavior as well.

Theo blushed in embarrassment and shook his head, "No teacher." He sat back down, wanting to die. Then he looked to where he was jabbed and saw Koneko staring at him.

"What's up?" She asked.

Theo gasped and gawked. Koneko was talking to him. He didn't even give her any sweets! This was actually happening. He gulped as he tried to straighten himself out, "I… I got a date…"

Theo felt so bad for saying that. He thought Koneko was so cute but he felt so happy to have another cute girl like him like that. He knew he wanted girls to like him that way, but a part of him had hoped that Koneko would be the one. He guessed life threw him another curveball.

Koneko nodded and gave him a thumbs up, "Super." Then she went back to paying attention to the course.

Theo's happy grin returned. 'She gave me a thumbs up~'

That happy grin didn't disappear as he stumbled out of the room. Thankfully the other students gave him a wide berth as his mind was too focused on his date and not on what was in front of him. Case in point was when he bumped into a certain trio.

"Watch it, pretty boy!" Two of them shouted, shaking their fists at him.

"Hey Theo," Issei patted his arm, "What's got you smiling like that? Saw some great tits?"

"I've got a date," Theo chuckled with a large blush.

"... I KNEW IT!" Issei's two friends glared at him as they stabbed their fingers forward. "He's another pretty boy trying to get in on our girl time."

"I thought we could trust him," Motohama.

"Never trust a pretty boy," Matsuda threw a punch, causing Theo to flinch.

Thankfully Issei pushed Theo out of the way and smacked a fist down on Matsuda's head, "Hey! Why is it that you always punch people when you get mad?"

"Because it helps relieve some tension," Matsuda huffed, "I mean, I'd punch you if you got a girlfriend too."

"What about Motohama?"

"Oh, he's going to die a virgin."

"SOME FRIEND YOU ARE!" Motohoma snarled.

Theo looked between the three, feeling rather uncomfortable. True they were technically friends, but he didn't know much about them. As well, he wasn't that comfortable getting into conversations, especially heated ones. Not to mention Matsuda did scare him a bit, what with all the punching. He may be a pervert, but he was actually kind of athletic.

"So," Issei turned around and cupped his chin, "Does she have nice oppai?"

"She's petite," Theo answered. He was not going to admit he thought his date was flat. That would be rather rude of him to say.

"A loli~" Matsuda got up close to him. "Tell me about her~"

"Errrr," Theo wanted to run. Very much so.

'You know. Maybe mom was onto something when she talked about other guys.'

Theo huffed as he finally made his way to the spot he was supposed to meet Mitty Teller. He was thankful to get away from the trio. Oh he liked them… okay, he liked Issei. The other two were a bit much and scared him for one reason or another. The glasses guy was NEVER going to get anywhere near his sister, nor the lolicon one, or whatever they call them here. Issei was alright. Perverted but he seemed nice.

Still, his friends weren't the important thing he had to care about. He brushed his clothes. He needed to make sure he made a good impression on her. If he didn't…

'What if she doesn't show up?' Theo worried, shaking slightly. 'What if this was a prank? That she doesn't like me? No! I need to think positive. Positive thinking will take me places.'

"Is that true or are you just trying to find some meaning to your pathetic existence?"

Theo winced and shook his head. It was never a good idea to dwell on that inner voice. It was always overtly negative.

"Heyo~" A warm and bubbly voice called out. He turned to see MItty Teller running up to him and waving, "Glad you made it!" She came to a stop and smiled up at him, making his heart beat a thousand times a minute.

"Y-Yeah," Theo gulped and blushed. He towered over her yet he felt like she held all of the power at the moment, "I wouldn't miss this for the world."

"Now that's what I want to hear," Mitty giggled before she grabbed his arm and pulled it to herself, "Now let's get this date started, shall we?"

"Ummm, yeah." Theo rubbed the back of his head, afraid to say what he needed to say. He steeled himself the best he could, which wasn't much, and spoke, "My mom would like to meet you first."

Mitty stopped and frowned, "I don't think I need to see your mom on the first date, silly." She giggled and smiled up at him, "So let's get going."

"She can be pretty persuasive," Theo commented, "And scary when you disobey her."

"Well you aren't with her now," Mitty batted her eyelashes at him, "So that means you don't have to be scared. Just come with me and everything will be alright."

"Oh…." Theo was having a hard time arguing with her. Her holding his arm and batting her eyelashes made him weak in the knees. "Well… I guess-"

"Well there you are~" Arisa's voice called out as she rushed on over, "I was wondering why it was taking so long."

Mitty frowned and pulled Theo's arm closer to her, "Sorry. I was just talking with my boyfriend, who I love~" She rubbed her cheek against his arm, causing him to almost feint from happiness.

"D'aww," Arisa cupped her hands together and put them to her cheek, "Young love. Now Theo. How about you run to the car for a moment, alright? I want to talk to her alone."

Theo opened his mouth. A part of him didn't want to leave Mitty alone with his mother. Of course, that part was droned out by the slight edge he saw in her visage.

'And by edge, I mean she's going to gut someone if I don't say yes.'

Theo nodded and started to walk off, "Just don't emberass me."

"I'll try not to~" Arisa waved him off. She waited till he was out of sight before turning to Mitty, "So crow, what's your endgame?"

Mitty laughed nervously, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"I know it's you," Arisa huffed, "You're the one that's been stalking him."

"And you're the one who's been shooting arrows at me."

Arisa's stare turned deadly which made Mitty shiver in fear, "I missed on purpose. Irritate me and I won't miss next time."

Mitty gulped, "Duly noted."

"You know, I actually don't care what you're up to." Arisa shrugged, "You crows can do whatever you like. Just remember that I want to see my son come home alive and well."

"The Fallen don't take orders-" Mitty stopped as she looked at the hand on her shoulder. She could feel power starting to radiate off of Theo's mother and looked at the killer glare that made her want to run to the ends of the Earth. There was just so much power. This couldn't be a normal human. That would be impossible.

"I love my son dearly," Arisa said, "If anything were to happen to him, I would make it my personal mission to hunt every crow in Japan and use their feathers for a cloak. Starting with you. Do I make myself clear?"

Mitty nervously nodded, "Y-Yes."

Arisa's killer intent vanished, "That's great to hear~ I expect a lot of things from you. So go out there and give me a grandchild~" She gave a thumb's up.

Mitty blushed as her eyes widened, "Wha-"

"Why else would you declare your love for him so soon," Arisa's eyes twitched with murder, "Unless you are lying to him. Oh, that would be bad."

"No," Mitty waved her arms in front of herself, "It's fine. I'll date him and make him happy. Just don't kill me!"

Arisa chuckled, "You are so cute~"

"What…" Mitty gulped as she shook, "What are you?"

"Oh you'll find out soon enough," Arisa pushed her to where Theo was, "Now go and make that boy a happy son of an arrow."
