Hope that clears any confusion up~!

Gina's "cousin" Drake was quickly integrated into the school. He quickly turned out to be quite popular, despite the fact he was a bit of an ass.

Fortunately for the human girls of the school, Gina kept Drake well fed and under a tight leash...not that Ceres wouldn't have strangled him if she ended up with another 'mistress' under the roof.

Passive as the gun-nut was about being Drake's "consort/fledgling" among the vampires, she wouldn't exactly tolerate just anyone becoming his mistress...which would happen if Drake happened to feed upon the rather large number of 'pure' girls at the school.

Just like Drake barely tolerated Ren's existence as Ceres' pet dog.

Still, he definitely enjoyed the entertaining vision of Gina interacting with the "Perverted Trio" of the academy...mostly because it confused the hell out of her classmates why someone who looked like her would stoop to their 'level'.

Drake was having trouble understanding why he was one of the schools rare "male idols" in the first place. He wasn't exactly polite to people, he was mostly attending out of lack of anything better to do and to protect Gina, yet the girls seemed to flock to him for no reason he could figure out.

Yes, the appearance he chose was little more than what he had looked like as a teenager, but it wasn't that attractive.

Gina had laughed and said that it had to be his 'alpha male' personality...that and he wasn't a pervert like the three she talked to. The girls sensed that he was a strong male that knew what he wanted...and that attracted them. He wasn't like the flippant boys who were only starting to become men.

Gina just found it hilarious to watch Drake have to fend off his rapidly growing fan club...while Ceres seethed. The only reason she hadn't taken it out on him was because they had a separate room that was layered with silencing spells. Drake could change his age at will, so he kept her occupied at night whenever Gina didn't have a mission for him.

"Gina, I'm hungry!" shouted Drake when they got home. Suppressing his urge to feed on the blood of the idiot girls who hung about him was exhausting.

"Yes, yes... give me a moment to change first," said Gina.

She went into her room and came out in an outfit that exposed the neck and a good portion of skin, though the shoulders and chest area were hidden. It was still fairly warm, since the summer had yet to fade, so her waist area was exposed. She wore a pair of shorts that went to her knees and walked around barefoot.

Drake was quick to pounce on her neckline when given permission. As annoyed as it made Ceres, she tolerated it because she often fed from the neck as well.

Once he'd had his fill, Gina drank the phoenix tears mixed in her tea to heal herself. Despite having a high calorie, high energy diet, it still wasn't exactly healthy to feed Drake every day like he all but demanded. Ceres only feed every other day, compared to Drake.

So to insure their Master was never sick from feeding them, Suzaku gave her one or two 'tears' to accelerate her natural healing power. By morning it would be as if she had never fed the vampires at all.

Some devils might balk at feeding such a high maintenance Master Vampire, who was extremely selfish and vastly irritating to those he didn't like.

Gina honestly could care less, because he had proven that when she genuinely needed him to act as her Knight, he had been there for her.

He was the one who had sealed her memories of that incident, and who had disposed of the culprit before he had a chance to even remotely defend his actions. Not that Drake would have accepted any excuse for it.

For that and that alone, Gina put up with his eccentricities and irritating habits. Drake was a monster in human form, and not ashamed of that fact.

"So how was school today, Gina?"

"Same as usual, though it's still better than that place ever was."

Suzaku didn't bother to defend the castle that had been his home for several decades. It had become corrupted with a false sense of arrogance long before he had come to live there, and it would fall soon enough from it's hubris.

"Oh, but I did ask Issei if he wanted to hang out later as friends on Sunday," said Gina as an after thought. Drake, who heard that, started snickering.

"Should have seen the idiot's face. He was practically gushing blood from his nose at the mere thought of a 'date' with Gina, even if he knew that I'd be stalking him with my own date the entire time," said Drake.

That had been rather amusing in it's own right. After hearing about the fact she had problems with boys back at her old school, Issei hadn't uttered a peep of protest being discreetly chaperoned the entire time they were out and about. He did, however, chose to lord it over his friends. Gina had found it amusing enough to watch them interact that she considered introducing them to Tia and Lorelei, her 'female friends from abroad'.

That had been enough to soothe over any angry feelings.

Well, that and there was something about Issei that interested her, even if she couldn't explain what it was.

"I still don't see why you're so interested in that pathetic dog."

"Ara...I had no idea you rated him so highly, Drake," said Gina.

"He's a pathetic loser who only thinks with his second head, and he barely ranks as 'dog'. But... there is something about him that says he might one day become worthy of note. Just not much," said Drake.

For Drake to admit that meant there was something interesting about Issei Hyoudou. Being a dog was much better than being considered 'prey' to someone like Drake.

It meant he'd at least give Issei a chance to fight back and prove he was worthy of keeping around, if only so he could get stronger and someday prove a challenge.

He wasn't like 'that' person who she had been made to forget.

He was still a perverted idiot though.

"Gomen, Issei-kun! Have you been waiting long?" asked Gina.

Because this was an unofficial date between friends, Gina had forgone the usual pony tail she used to keep her hair from getting in the way and went straight for a braid. Her bangs still obscured her facial features, namely her eyes.

It was pretty clear Issei was trying hard not to have what Drake flippantly called a 'gusher'. He didn't even consider feeding on them, or allowing Ceres to feed upon them.

Something about how he didn't want his line to be infected by mass stupidity on that level.

"No, I just got here myself," said Issei, blushing.

Gina's usual school wear was nothing compared to the light summer dress she was wearing now. Though Issei was also quick to notice her bicycle shorts under the dress.

"Did you ride your bike here?"

"Something like that. Drake was kind enough to drive me on his motorcycle. He said he'd catch up to us once he picked up his girlfriend Ceres," said Gina smiling, though inwardly she was snickering.

Girlfriend was a pretty tame word for Ceres and Drake. And Ceres had barely mastered the trick to changing her age to suit the situation. The best she could do was appear to be an eighteen year old on command.

Then again, she was still young and learning.

"Shall we go have some fun? ...And by fun I don't mean the bedroom kind," she added as an afterthought.

"Yes, Ma'am!" said Issei grinning like an idiot. Gina giggled.

Idiot he may be, but he was an honest one.

With Drake and Ceres...

"She looks like she's having fun," said Ceres, sipping her 'drink' which was human blood in a glamoured container. As a vampire, she had trouble processing human food anymore...though that didn't stop her from gorging on blood chocolates.

Gina had learned the recipe from a coven Drake knew from the old days and made it as a special treat whenever they performed their duty. Though to supplement their diet of her blood, they kept bottles filled from human donors from donation centers. They had their own special fridge, and made a point to dispose of the bottles in the hazardous waste bin specifically for that purpose.

"Considering the crap those idiots put her through, letting her have a normal life must be a novelty for her," said Drake, stirring his own drink. Unlike Ceres, he could process certain human foods, but he didn't really like to. The only thing he could consistently ingest was alcohol. At the moment he was sticking to a soda he was fond of that had the same color as blood.

At least it did when he mixed in some of the 'stored' blood from Gina anyway.

"Still, I can't believe Gina even asked him out like that."

"He has an interesting Sacred Gear inside him. I sensed it when she introduced me. But the only openings are the 'rook', the 'queen' and six 'pawns'. Whatever he has is too troublesome for her to handle," said Drake...before he made an odd face, for him anyway "Besides, if he became one of us then I'd have to be in close proximity to such absolute idiocy for long periods. Not exactly something I'd enjoy."

Ceres snickered.

"I don't think you have to worry overly much about that. I noticed that a devil familiar from the Gremory clan handed the idiot a summoning circle. I think Gina isn't the only one to have taken an interest in him."

"Good riddance."

The two discreetly followed Gina and Issei, though Ceres was gratified when Issei had an obvious nosebleed when she hugged her 'adorable little sister' and her chest stuck up from Gina's head. (Ceres had dyed her hair the same red color as Gina to avoid suspicion.)

Drake kept sending subtle killing intent in Issei's direction as a clear warning. Fortunately while he was a perverted idiot, he wasn't a suicidal one. He was very polite to Drake's girlfriend.

"Do you sense that?" asked Drake.

"What is that?"

"A pathetic fallen. Though one that would give our Master some trouble as she had not fully learned how to use her true Devil inheritance. You still have that device Suzaku gave you?"

"It's a cell phone Drake. At least try to be a little more open minded about technology," said Ceres in exasperation. "And of course I got it."

"Call the bird brain and tell him we might need a healer soon. I don't know if the fallen is after us or the idiot," said Drake.

Ceres dialed the number and informed Suzaku of the situation. It was pretty clear the longer that the fallen followed them that they were after either Gina or Issei. Considering they were still pretty close to each other, it was difficult to determine who it was after.

"Determine which one they're after. If they attack our King then the local devils won't come after us later for using out powers in their territory. We're still considered relatively low-ranked, despite the power of her 'pieces'," said Suzaku through the speaker.

"Meaning the Gremory girl might annoy us if we act too aggressively."

"Be careful. You know Gina isn't up to a full scale battle just yet. Not so soon after..."

"Yeah, yeah, you don't need to remind me you bird-brain. I was the one who sealed the memories, remember?" said Drake irritably.

The seal was a temporary measure until they found whoever it was Gina was supposed to find. That person could take on the responsibility of picking up the major pieces of that night.

Damn wizards.

It wasn't until sunset that the fallen one made an appearance. From her appearance alone she was clearly one of the stronger ones.

"Shit...this isn't good. Who's she after?" said Ceres.

"My, my, how adorable. A Devil and a human boy out on a date?" she sneered.

"Devil?"

Gina shrugged. She only knew the bare bones of being a Devil, so she couldn't really say. As far as she was concerned, she was a witch.

"Who are you after?" asked Gina.

"I was just going to kill the brat who rejected me so callously before...but I think I'll have fun exterminating the both of you," said the fallen angel. In her right hand there was a spear of light, which made Gina cringe at the mere sight of it.

Ceres made to run towards Gina, but was held back by Drake.

"We have to let the hag make the first move, otherwise the local Devils might claim we instigated the fight," said Drake.

"But..."

"I don't like it either, but Gina's order is still in effect. We're to observe until someone attacks first."

It didn't take long...though for some reason the fallen one attacked the idiot known as Issei first.

"That's one pest down... and now I get to have fun with a weak Devil without interruption."

A single light spear grazed Gina's cheek. That was all the opening the two vampires needed.

"I'd step away from our Master, you pathetic feathered scum," said Drake, sneering at her.

"Oh, what's this? The little Devil has a few evil pieces?"

Before Drake could respond, the circle that had been in Issei's pocket since this morning activated.

"Shit... the idiot had to chose now to summon?" said Drake.

What appeared was Rias Gremory herself. Evidently the sight of blood and the red hair of Gina had been enough for Issei's mind to focus enough to activate the summoning spell on the paper.

"Well isn't this a surprise. What does a fallen angel want with a mere human and a rogue devil?" said Rias.

"This doesn't concern you," sneered the fallen.

"I would say butt out, but frankly you're better suited to fighting this large boobed moron," said Drake. Ceres slapped him on the back of the head.

"'Large boobed moron'?" she hissed at him.

"What? The twit didn't even have the decency to announce her name before she bothered to attack us. Not like I'd remember it after, but still," said Drake.

"You're Drake Evans. I take it Ms. Black over here is your 'King'?"

"Our King, actually," clarified Drake. Rias looked at Ceres who kept her mouth shut.

"Right. Ms. Black, I expect you to visit my headquarters and explain a few things tomorrow. For now, you can take your pieces and return to your home," said Rias.

"Ah! Yes. But what about Issei-kun?"

"I'll take care of him. You'll probably have to come up with a convincing explanation until he's ready to handle the truth," said Rias.

"Thank you," she said shyly. "Come on Drake, Ceres. Let's head back. They're probably worried about us since Ceres called ahead."

"Now...let's talk about you attacking someone in my territory..." they heard Rias say.

"Suzaku's going to be pissed when he finds out," said Ceres.

"Who cares. We didn't start that fight and that idiot made sure we couldn't finished that twit off."

"Yes, but he specifically said not to attract the attention of the Devil in charge of this area," said Gina.

"Nothing we can do about it, she attacked us," said Ceres.

"I really hope we don't get into trouble. Not so soon after England," said Gina.
