What it Takes to Be King

Hello and we're back with another chapter! Hope you all are ready since things will be beginning to heat up. I hope you're all ready for the next upcoming chapters with things beginning to heat up! As for the whole crazy Otsutsuki thing I'll hold off unless there is literally nothing else, I can think of. Itachi does still need to time even learn how to use his Rinnegan, eventually. As for his Rinnegan abilities well… you will all just have to wait to see what I decide to do.

TypedSomeWords: Typed a really long review on Itachi's loss of sight.

TF: Yes, I do agree and you're not wrong. Itachi is hindered, but his other senses have sharpen due to the loss of his second eye. So, I don't think it would downplay Itachi all too much either. I mean he would have had to adapt if he was losing both of his eyes as well. Or even if his one eyes lost its perception back in the Elemental Nations. Though, I do think he is able to overcome it, not only that. I have no doubt there is magic that could still give Itachi the normal sight in his right eye as if nothing happened. I also still don't think his cure isn't a bad idea, the ingredients are ridiculous yes! But I need something to hold Itachi back from going all out or too far. The disease was the only way, and his ingredients make it where it's possible for anything to happen. As for Asia's healing the damage his disease does, it also eases the pain. Not the actual spreading of the disease itself. However, its only a temporary solution it will come to a point where her healing can only do so much. When Itachi's illness reaches its limit where it would kill him. Asia cannot reverse death. Anyways let's get to the chapter.


Last Chapter

Itachi closed his eyes and let a sigh out as he removed his hand from their chests. The two both stopped their argument as Itachi stared at them with an impassive look on his face. Itachi then chopped them both on the head, "Ow." Rias and Irina both held their head where Itachi whacked them. It was not hard, but it was enough to get them to stop.

Itachi stood up ignoring the fact they saw his fruits and vegetables. Thus, causing them both to blush and turn away. Itachi could care less and prepared to leave, "I don't want to have to choose between the two of you. I care for you each and every one of you guys, we're all a family here. However, love is something I don't understand too much myself. Though I do know is love is something that finds you, you can't find it. If I'm meant to be with Rias, then it was meant to be. If I was meant to be with Irina it was meant to be." Itachi grabbed a large towel and wrapped it around his waist. Before he left, he said, "Even if I end up single for the rest of my life, it was meant to be." Itachi left shutting the door making both Irina and Rias flinch. They could tell the Itachi wasn't angry or mad at them, but more disappointed more than anything else.


This Chapter Kuoh Academy (English Class)

"For English class today, I'll have you make anything you like. With the paper mache on your desks. You can make animals, people, houses, anything you like. You're going to shape exactly what is in your mind. That's one way to communicate in English." The teacher finished with his hands in the air excite to see what his students would make. Itachi was in another classroom, from Issei, and wondered how he was fairing. Currently, his mother was videotaping him and his father must be over in Issei's room. Itachi looked around the room to see everyone messing around with their piece of paper mache. He closed his mind and asked himself, "What's on my mind huh." Itachi thought back to Rias and everyone, to his family. Itachi pulled apart the pieces of clay. He made nine pieces of clay and pictured everyone. He went to move his hand to begin creating everyone until his teacher spoke up, "Hyoudou-kun!?" The teacher called out making Itachi open his eyes looking around the room.

Everyone looked at him including Rias, Akeno, and Sona who were in the room with him, "Isn't that Rias, Akeno, and Sona-Onee-sama?" The girls in the classroom were amazed by Itachi's handy work. Itachi deadpanned, "Think I accidentally used magic to create this, Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Asia, Issei, Irina, Sona, Kiba, and myself." Itachi made a small family making everyone look at Itachi surprised. They had clothing and everything on, thankfully, the details on everyone's outfit, to their hair, and curve of the hips on Rias, Akeno, Irina, and Sona was spot on as well; Itachi really knew everyone's depths thanks to the Sharingan.

Everyone surrounded Itachi impressed, they began to compliment his work; Itachi simply sighed, "Uhhh you can have them if you want." Itachi handed the statues of Rias to Rias, Akeno to Akeno, and Sona to Sona. Rias and Sona blushed a bit while Akeno giggled at the gift, "We've been all hanging around so much that didn't realize I was this good."

"Oh, I knew my baby was an artist! I can't wait for you to see it Gorou!" Miki said into the camera while the other mothers were amazed by Itachi. Itachi remained silent keeping himself quiet, "This is going to be a long day."


Later

Everyone met up under a part of the building, "It seems Itachi has gotten all of us memorized. I'm sad to say that no more detail of me down here." Akeno tilted her figure upside upset that there weren't panties or holes in her statute, "Maybe you need to explore down there to learn what it's like." Akeno added with a seductive tone making Issei and Itachi shiver.

"I'm good, the Sharingan helps a lot to remember proportion sizes. Then I calculate the rest of it using the math we've learned." Itachi scratched the back of his head handing the other figures to their respective people, "That reminds me… Issei the hell is that." Itachi pointed at Issei's figure.

Issei chuckled, Issei was holding a naked Asia in his hands, "Uhhh I don't know I just thought of Asia ya know? She's with me all the time."

"You know if we're going to make a baby. Might as well allow you to feel me up too, I wouldn't mind having a statue too." Xenovia said with a straight face not even faulting in her sentence.

"Uhh…" Issei was perving out a bit with a trail of blood running down his nose, "It would be fun to do." He grinned thinking about groping Xenovia! She would allow it!

"NO, YOU CAN'T!" Asia shouted making Issei hang his head in defeat.

"I think it's cute." Irina giggled holding her own statue, she was glad it was dressed.

"A photoshoot of the witch girl!?" A guy shouted with a horde of guys running to the auditorium. Itachi and everyone else turned their heads confused at what was going on, "As a member of the ex-photography club, I must record every detail through my lenses!"

"Witch girl?" Issei added confused.

"It can't be…" Rias's eyes widen which made Itachi look at her confused.

The group went to follow the mob of boys, they entered the room with Issei first to speak, "Hey, that's the Magical Girl Milky Spiral Seven Alternative cosplay!"

"Why do you know this?" Itachi raised an eyebrow at Issei as he began to chuckle trying to make others ignore what he just said. Itachi sighed, before more was done, he recognized the face. Itachi appeared in front of everyone with his Sharingan spinning. Everyone fell into a trance-like state, "You will delete all photos and videos of her." Itachi commanded which everyone did, "You will forget about this and head towards your next class." Itachi commanded again as everyone did so and left in a trance-like state.

Just then Saji came walking up, "Thanks Hyoudou-san, now are you a family of a student?" He said turning to the cosplaying girl.

"Saji, this is Leviathan-sama but must ask why you are here. Also, why and what are you exactly wearing?" Itachi asked with a deadpanned look on his face.

"W-WHAT!?" Saji looked at Serafall in shock.

Serafall was a little upset and hurt by the topic. That's until she smiled and began to do a weird dance. She twirled her want into the air, "Mil-mil-mil-mil Spiral!" She pointed her wand at Itachi who kept his usual stoic look on his face.

Just then Serafall got right into Itachi's face staring at him intensely. Itachi had a sweat drop appear on his forehead, "W-Why are you so close?"

"Y-You're." Serafall couldn't finish until the door opened.

"Saji what's going on here?" Sona had the door opened with her hand on her hip.

"Oh, Kaichou uhhh." Saji did not know what to say.

"Oh! You're finally here Sona-chan!" Serafall forgot about Itachi and poked her head around to see Sona.

Itachi turned his head to see some of Sona's hair stand up on it's ends, "I wonder if these two are." Itachi's question was answered when Serafall ran up to Sona.

"So-tan!" Serafall called out as she jumped off the stage running towards Sona, "So-tan what's wrong? You're blushing like crazy. You've finally been reunited with your Onee-chan!" Serafall placed a hand on her chest. She then threw them into the air, "I think you should be much happier to see me!" Serafall then brought her arms down in an upset-like fashion. She had a sour look on her face. She then extended her arms out, then she began to hug herself bouncing to the left and right making a weird look on her face, "I wouldn't mind us cuddling and having some girl-on-girl action." Serafall then stopped and got within an inch from Sona's face, "That's where you say "Onee-sama!" and I say "So-tan!" you know?"

Itachi then stepped in for Sona's sake, "Leviathan-sama I'm glad you're happy to see Sona, I'm sure any older sibling would be so." Sona was a little shocked by Itachi's boldness, "Though, Sona is the student council Kaichou of our school. She is held in high regard; I ask you please act appropriately for her sake." Itachi was cut off when Serafall got into his face again. Sona even had a small smile appear on her face. She was thankful for Itachi's help.

Serafall giggled and smiled, "Hehehe! You really are just like So-tan!" Itachi sweat dropped having the same look on his face like Sona did, "You two are completely the same! You are like a female So-tan! What's your name!"

Itachi did not have any words for how Serafall was acting. One of the Four Maous of the underworld, he was a little surprised, "Hyoudou… Hyoudou Itachi."

"OH! You're the White Dragon Emperor!" Serafall had a smirk appear on her face as she pointed her wand at Itachi's face, "I won't let you take away my So-tan from me! She is mine! Unless you want me to become your Onee-sama! Then I will allow it! Then I get to have you both! So-tan and It-tan time! We can be in bed together and have some sibling-on-sibling action!" Serafall began to hug herself making Itachi deadpan while also realizing she just completely ignored his request.

He turned his head to Sona, who was currently blushing up a storm, he said, "Is she always like this? Sibling… on… sibling action." Itachi had no words for how Serafall was acting, to think she was a Maou.

"You're actually super duper happy to see your sister again, aren't you?" Serafall got back to Sona ignoring Itachi.
"Serafall-sama it's been a while." Rias walked up seeing if she could calm the current Maou down.
"Oh, Rias-chan! It has been ages! How ya been?" Serafall gave Rias a wink.

"I've been well thank you. Are you here for Parent's Day?" Rias asked getting a bit of a kick out of Sona's actions.

"Yeah!" Serafall then had an upset look on her face, "Sona-chan's so mean. She didn't say a word to me about Parent's day! I was so devastated!" Sona began to wipe her imaginary crocodile tears, "I was so angry I was about to attack Heaven!" Serafall then saw Issei, "Oh wait I just remembered aren't these the two who wield Ddraig and Albion?"

"Hai, Issei, Itachi, come introduce yourselves properly." Rias called over which Itachi and Issei both stepped in formation.

"It's a pleasure to meet you! I'm Rias Gremory-sama's pawn." Issei bowed which Itachi did the same.

"I'm Hyoudou Itachi it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance Leviathan-sama. I am also Rias Gremory-sama's pawn." Itachi once again introduced himself making Serafall curious about the two.

Serafall put her hands on her hips, "I'm Serafall Leviathan, a Satan!" Just then Serafall began to twirl as for some reason her skirt began to flail in the air. Her chest bounced up and down, "Call me Levia-tan!" Serafall finished twirling as she put her fingers up to her eye making a peace sign. While also sticking her tongue out the side of her mouth.

Sona let a sigh out, "Onee-sama. I am in charge of the student council here. Even if you are family such behavior and attire are completely unacceptable!" Sona even raised her voice at the end which made Itachi realize just how polar opposites she and Serafall were.

"Say it ain't so, Sona-chan! If that is what you think of you Nee-chan! Onee-chan will be incredibly sad!" Serafall began to almost tear up and cry like a baby. Which was very… VERY unbecoming of a Maou.

"You know your Nee-chan is into magic girls, don't you?!" Just then Itachi backed up a bit feeling the magic in the room rise. Serafall smiled as she said pointing her wand out, "Well, in that case, I'm gonna use my Levi-tan magic stick and slaughter all the angels and Fallen Angels!"

Just then Sona got into Serafall's face, "Onee-sama, please behave yourself. Your little sparkles could level a small country in seconds." Sona began to berate her sister saying that.

Itachi also heard Issei talking to Saji, "Hey Saji. When Kokabielcame by, your Kaichou did not call her sister, but it's not because they don't like each other is it?"

"That's not it." Akeno added with a smile on her face putting her hand on her left cheek, "I think Itachi knows it more than anyone else. It's because Serafall-sama love's her sister, Kaichou Sona, so much, calling her would only cause trouble." Akeno explained making Issei realize just how overprotective Serafall is, maybe Itachi might be even more so.

Issei looked at Itachi and Itachi look at him back with a smile, "You know I'd be there when you need me Issei. You're my little brother, I'd kill the three faction leaders if it meant you survived." Itachi stated boldly which made the air in the room tense up a bit.

Issei laughed a bit, "Uhhh yeah thanks… ummm." Issei didn't know how to word this since it was right in front of them.

"What is it?" Itachi tilted his head confused wondering what the issue was.

"No… homo, right?" Everyone heard a record player's needle interrupted by Koneko.

Itachi just glared at his brother, "Wow… way to ruin the mood you idiot, of course, no homo. I'm your." Itachi was interrupted as Serafall jumped into the conversation.

"I'D BE HAPPY TO HAVE THAT TYPE OF RELATIONSHIP WITH MY SONA-CHAN!" Starfall bounced happily as she winked at Sona who shook her head with annoyance.

"Oh Ara, ara, things turned farther south than I thought it would have." Akeno giggled at the scene, it was nice to see that Itachi really did care. Then again, it's not like it is a surprised to anyone anymore.

"Is anyone going to ask where Koneko got a record player?" Itachi asked out loud which everyone seemed to ignore him.

Itachi turned to Serafall as she cluelessly kept checking over Sona as she held her hand with annoyance and embarrassment, "She might have almost screamed." Saji let a sigh out, "Serafall-sama just said she would annihilate the angels and fallen angels."

"I can't stand it anymore!" Sona turned her head away as she began to run off with tears leaking out the side.

"Oh no." Itachi muttered as Sona began to run off.

"Sona-chan come back! No Sona-chan, No Life!" Serafall ran after her.

"Sorry guys, I think Kaichou will need me on this one." Saji waved to everyone getting ready to leave.

Just then Itachi landed in front of Sona as she bumped into his chest, "Hey, take it easy and breath for a second." Sona suddenly found her face buried into Itachi's chest. She blushed and backed up a bit, "I know older siblings can be bothersome, or maybe even troublesome." Itachi placed a hand on Sona's head, "An older sibling to a sibling's younger sibling, we would do no matter what it takes to keep you safe." Serafall stopped her childish tendencies as she listened to Itachi's speech, "So, no matter the endless embarrassment or annoyance you to feel. There isn't anything in this world that would make us trade you for something else." Itachi lifted his fingers up and poked Sona's forehead earning a blush from her. Itachi patted her head and began to walk towards Serafall, "Serafall-sama, Maou or not, your Sona's Nee-san first, Maou second, it's okay to embarrass your sibling. Though, maybe cut her some slack. Sona-san is very smart and works hard as the student council Kaichou. I've seen her do nothing but improve and work harder since I beat her at the chess game. Along with the Kokabielincident too, she and her peerage helped keep the collateral damage to a minimal. She is very hardworking and serious when she needs to be." Itachi turned his head slightly towards Sona with a smile adorning his face. Just then there was a slap which made Itachi turn his head. Itachi turned his head to see Rias's hand on her forehead. Sona's hand on her forehead letting a long sigh out, "What something I say?"

"Y-Y-YOU WHAT!" Serafall grabbed Itachi by his shoulders shaking him violently.

Itachi had to use chakra to stabilize his back otherwise, he could have been put in a wheelchair for a while if she broke his spine. That's how damn hard she was shaking him! "W-What are you doing!? What did I say wrong!?" Itachi broke out of the hug but Serafall got right into his face giving him a cold glare.

"You beat my So-tan in a chess game! Even I haven't been able to do that yet!" Then Serafall backed up and as she felt excitement and anger take over. Itachi and the others backed up feeling Serafall's true Maou power revealing itself. Itachi had to admit, looks were damn deceiving. He found it hard that this childish girl was one of the four Maous, "OUUUU! I'M SO MAD, BUT GLORIOUS TO HEAR! SONA-CHAN GOT A FINANCE NOW!" Serafall wanted to celebrate and kill Itachi at the same time! Serafall was SO MAD and HAPPY she didn't know what to do! Maybe she would really march into heaven and destroy it!

"What did I just get myself into." Itachi hung his head not wanting to know what was going on.

"Poor Itachi-senpai, another shameless girl added to his harem. Issei-senpai 2, Itachi-senpai 4." Koneko put some dango in her mouth enjoying the show.

"Are all Maous like this?" Itachi deadpanned looking at Rias.

Rias just chuckled, "Actually yea, as embarrassing as it is. They are."

"What do you mean?" Issei asked confused.

"They're crazy… in their own way. Even Nii-sama has a… crazy side to him you guys haven't seen." Rias shuddered a bit, she remembered how much of a sis con Sirzechs was. Thus, why she was so spoiled growing up.


Scene Shift School Hallways

The group made their way towards the entrance of the school, "Issei! Itachi!" Gorou called out.

Itachi and Issei both turned their heads, "Tou-san?" Issei tilted his head confused.

"Rias! There you are!" Itachi saw a middle-aged, handsome-looking man with long crimson red hair that is tied in a loose ponytail with a black hairband. He has bright blue eyes similar to Sirzech's and Rias's eyes.

"Otou-san?" Rias was surprised to see her father here.

"What?! Buchou's Otou-san!?" Issei was a little surprised and even Itachi was a little surprised. They are so young, that Sirzechs and Rias's father could pass as Rias's older brothers.

"Are you Hyoudou Itachi?" Zeoticus looked at Itachi who simply bowed a bit.

"Yes, I am." Itachi nodded his head happy to meet Rias's father.

"That's great, I'd like to thank you personally for looking after Rias for me." Zeoticus gave his own bow of gratitude.

"It's nothing Gremory-sama, the pleasure is all mine." Itachi returned the kind gesture with a bow.

"Anyways what's going on Tou-san?" Issei turned to his father.

"Well how about we head back to our place? It's a little tiring here." Gorou suggest which everyone nodded their heads in agreement, "We don't have much room there, but I hope you wouldn't mind coming over?" Gorou added with a smile hoping for a drinking partner.

"Sure, I'd love to!" Zeoticus smiled, he really did like humans. At least this kind, warm, down-to-earth, and always made you feel welcomed.

Both Issei and Rias' eyes widen, "What?!" Itachi let a low sigh out knowing what was going to happen.

"Ahaha! What a show." A voice came behind them as everyone saw Sirzechs come walking down the stairs.
"Onii-sama?" Rias turned her head wondering what he wanted.

Sirzechs just smiled, "Seems we'll all be eating together again!" Rias just let a sigh knowing she was going to be embarrassed.


Scene Shift Hyoudou Residence

"Woah! This looks good!" Zeoticus praised Miki's cooking.

"Yeah, to think you made all this?" Sirzechs could not wait to eat the cooking.

"Actually, I only made the appetizers. Itachi did most of the work." Miki giggled putting a hand up to her cheek. She then gestured to the doorway as Itachi poked his head out, "He's the cook you should be praising." Granted their kitchen was open from the family room to see, Itachi actually like the kitchen closed off. They put up a curtain to stop prying eyes, Itachi told his mother that he likes to surprise his guests. That or surprised them on dishes he makes for them.

"You call for me Kaa-san?" Itachi asked raising an eyebrow, Miki shook her head as Itachi ducked back into the kitchen prepping the desserts. Thankfully, Irina has been showing him how to make them. Itachi had a lot of mouths to feed.

"Oh, I didn't know Itachi can cook! Huh! Is Itachi's cooking better than yours Rias? I have to say you got yourself an amazing guy to look after you!" Zeoticus chuckled making Rias's blush as her hair covered her face.

"Oh, Tou-san don't be like that on Rias! We already know how close the two are!" Sirzechs added in making Rias want to curl up into a ball and stay in a corner.

"How about we start with a toast!" Gorou raised his glass along with Sirzechs and Zeoticus.

Issei tilted his head with a sigh at the table with Rias simply sipping on some juice. Irina was making conversation with Asia who helped to prep dinner too. She knew how to cook, so she would often help Itachi cut vegetables, "Oh look! It's Asia-chan look how cute she is!" Miki praised, "Then there's Irina too!"

"Man look at Issei, always so feisty." Gorou frowned, "You need to act more like Itachi." Issei held his head down, "You need to liven up more Itachi." Itachi deadpanned at his father's jab at their characteristic flaws.

"Let's look at Rias next!" Zeoticus said with a flushed face from the alcohol.

Itachi came walking out with the rest of the food to see Rias on the screen. He also saw her folding her hands above her head. Itachi could not help but chuckle a bit. Rias was focusing on class until she turned around to see her father filming her. She began to wave at him to turn it off, "It's a parent's duty to see their child hard at work!" Zeoticus said proudly.

"This must be a new form a torture." Rias said with a depressing tone.

"Come on Buchou, it isn't that bad!" Irina patted her back.

"Don't be so upset, let them have their fun." Itachi commented trying to help Rias calm down a bit.

"Oh look! Our Ri-tan is answering the teacher's question!" Sirzech's sis-con side began to show, "She got it right!" Sirzechs laughed watching the video.

"I can't stand this!" Rias stood up from the table, "Onii-sama you big dummy!" Rias ran off to upstairs.

"I'll get her." Itachi placed more food down as he walked upstairs. It was dark and saw a curled-up form of Rias sitting by his door, "You want to go in?" He opened his door which Rias nodded her head. The two walked into his room as he kept the lights off because the moonlit the room up for them.

Itachi walked towards his window as Rias face planted into his pillow, "Don't be so down Rias, I think it's great that our parents are getting along. You'll want to cherish these moments once they're gone."

"I-I know… they can be so humiliating; I can't stand it sometimes." Rias complained not liking her image being knocked down by her family.

"You'll get use to it in time. They are family, they are supposed to make fun of you. Especially older brothers." Itachi sat down next to Rias who still laid face-first into his pillow.

It was silent for a moment, until Rias broke the silence, "Hey Itachi… are you glad you met me?"

Itachi without hesitation placed a hand on Rias's head, "Of course I don't regret it. Not one bit, otherwise me and Issei would be dead by a fountain in a park. Thanks to his crazy ex-girlfriend." Itachi chuckled the last part along with Rias. Just then a magic circle appeared with Venessa hopping onto Itachi's shoulder. Itachi turned his head to see Rias come up to him with her hair covering her face. She leaned in as she pressed her lips against Itachi's. (A/N: Just to get everyone's gears grinding. Why do you guys think Venessa leaves for long periods of time? Let me know what you guys think in a review!)

Itachi was taken a bit back by this but accepted it for the time being. Like before, Itachi did feel his heartbeat increase faster than it normally does. Itachi placed a hand on her cheek telling Rias that he enjoyed it. The two slowly separated with Itachi looking into Rias's eyes. He could see how her eyes were glazed over, "Itachi… I want you to be my boyfriend. I want to be able to stand by your side. Be your support, your crutch." Rias said with a smile on her face. She truly did love Itachi for himself.

Itachi smiled at her confession he placed a hand on Rias's head and patted it, "Rias, I care about you. I really do, but there are still things you need to work on."

Rias frowned, "What do you mean work on?" Rias was upset to hear this from Itachi.

"I don't mean to make you upset or reject you outright. I'm saying this because Rias, you have so much to work on." Itachi made a few hand seals as privacy seals and silencing seals went up, "I guess now is as good as any other time to talk about this." Itachi wanted to have a serious talk with Rias, "Rias I understand everything you went through; you work hard to free yourself. Do what you wanted to live the life you wanted. You got your peerage, everyone in it are people you consider family and loved them. I'm grateful for that, we all are, we're glad that you treat us well."

"Wait, I'm failing to see what issue you have in me?" Rias was really confused by Itachi's direction.

"It's not hard Rias, have you ever really gained everyone's full loyalty? Their full power?" Itachi raised an eyebrow making Rias look at him confused, "Back during the rating game against Riser. Everyone saw that you pushed yourself and were keeping up with Riser until you began to run out of stamina. Akeno commented, "Quality of a King." She was right in a way, Rias you are becoming a true king. Yet, you're still so far away." Itachi stood up and walked towards the window, "Rias, I've never one called you Rias-sama or Buchou like everyone else does. They respect you Rias…"

Rias said, "W-Wait… you saying you don't respect me?" Rias was a little hurt to hear this.

"Listen to what I'm saying Rias, you're a king Rias. You fight for your family, your subjects, servants, you need to have each of their full loyalty. We need to be ready to even die for you if they have to. Rias, what I did during the rating game was for a friend. Truly and honestly, if I wouldn't have raised a hand to fight. Would you and the others have been able to win if I didn't train you guys? Would you have won if I didn't fight Riser myself?" Itachi asked making Rias really think about what he was saying.

Itachi was not saying her hated her, he was not saying she was a bad person. He was saying, she was being a shitty king. Someone he would not follow unless he really felt Rias could really grow. Look at Sirzech's authority over the underworld, his power. The reason he became a Maou, was because he had the qualities of a king. "A king someone who could rally others to help and aid them when they needed it. A king is someone who will do their best to do the best for their people, end of story. Even if it hurts them. So, tell me Rias… have you done your best for your people?" Itachi turned to Rias wondering if she can answer his question.

"Do you mean you Itachi?" Rias was lost now by what he meant for her people.

"No, I'm fine, we're gathering the necessary items for the medicine in due time. I mean Akeno, Kiba, and Koneko. What have you done for them?" Itachi asked wondering what Rias would say to him.

"Oh… I see then." Rias thought about it, "Isn't a king supposed to love and care for their people, right? So… what is different from what you just said compared to mine?" Rias wasn't getting the big picture Itachi wanted her to see.
"Rias what other ways could have you won the fight against Riser, without me. Akeno, Koneko, and Kiba would have been knocked out. Along with Asia and eventually Issei, even Issei would not have been able to beat Riser. Without my help Rias you would have been married to Riser." Itachi wanted Rias to figure this out herself. As much as Itachi would have liked to reciprocate her feelings towards him.

"Wait… is it because of Akeno's fallen angel side? Koneko's Nekoshou side? Then Kiba's revenge on the holy swords." Rias finally put it together which Itachi nodded his head.

"I talked to Koneko about her other half, yet she still denies using it. At least what I have seen, but she does train, but still needs help. Akeno could have easily took out the bomb queen on her own. She still lacks in physical capabilities just as much as you do. However, her holy element would have drastically turned the tables. Kiba would have been able to do so much in the fight as well." Itachi hoped that got through to Rias as she sat there in thought.

Rias began to realize why Itachi had refused her advances, "Then Irina too huh?" Rias asked which Itachi nodded his head.

"Even if I did some to help, as a king you sent her to a therapist. Irina is getting the help she needed and is doing better. Though she will need to face her parents one day. We will have to do that together. Irina is an important person in my life, but even then. I do not think I could confront her parents unless they really hurt her. Then I be there to comfort her if they reject her being a devil. You would have to do your best to support and explain everything to her parents. You, however, need to talk to Koneko, Akeno, and Kiba. Regardless of everything that has happened. The two still will not use their full strength, but Kiba I have no doubt will. It's Akeno and Koneko that need the help." Itachi wanted Rias to see why he never called her Rias-ama or Buchou. Not that he will not stop calling her Rias, but he wants her to know that she needs to work as a King.

Rias nodded her head, "I always thought just giving them love and helping them move on would do it. I thought as time went on it would help them get over it. I thought being the loving and doting master would help them." Rias thought about what she could do, "You got any ideas on what I can do?"

"You need to make sure you order your peerage to do as you ask. You need them to believe in themselves, that they can accept who they are. Make them trust that you are there to help guide and protect them." Itachi made a few hand signs as the seals went down, "I've wanted to have this talk for a while Rias. I hope you grow and learn from this. Long story short your need to get your peerage's shit together." Itachi let the seals down since their talk was finished.

Rias stood up with a smile and again pressed her lips against Itachi's. Itachi had to admit her lips were warm and soft. He enjoyed her warmth being near her, that's when the light turned on with Irina standing in front of the door, "Hey! I knew something was up! That's not fair Rias!" Irina shouted out with a pout on her face.

Itachi mentally rolled his eyes, "It's what Akeno taught me, it's you got to be quick!" Rias winked at Irina who ran over to Itachi and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Then I'll have to take Itachi by force! I won't lose!" Irina puffed her cheeks out angrily as she pushed her ample bosom against Itachi.

"There, there don't fight." Sirzechs said trying to calm them down as he entered through the doorway.

"Sirzechs-sama!" Irina called out as Itachi was silent.

"Onii-sama?!" Rias said surprised to see her brother upstairs.

"Rias I had a thought." Sirzechs put his hands in his pockets.

"What is it?" Rias asked as she stood up and face him.

"Why don't you release your other bishop soon. I've seen how strong you've gotten, so I think you can control him now." Sirzechs figured it was about time for Rias to step up her game. She is learning and growing, for the fact that he momentarily sensed their presence disappear. He wondered what conversation went between them.

"His ability was too strong for me to control. So, we had to seal him away." Rias added wondering if she was ready for the bishop. She wondered what she will have to do for him to help him break out of his shell.

"You've expanded your peerage and gotten stronger. You should release him… Rias." Sirzechs said with an authoritative tone.

Rias even realized the change in tone and understood what Itachi meant, "If my Onii-sama… no if the Great Maou Lucifer commands it. It shall be done."


Hallway of ORC

"He's here?" Issei asked curiously.

"My counterpart?" Asia added she was excited to meet another fellow bishop.

"The seal at night breaks, and he's allowed to roam the halls. Though, he never leaves." Rias explained hinting that her servant had a rather unprecedented issue.

"So… he's a hikikomori?" Issei asks curiously.

"Though he makes the second most amount of money out of all of us." Akeno added which Issei looked at her curiously.

"Then who's the first?" Issei was surprised their fellow bishop made a lot, but who made the most?

"Who do you think? A lot of people have asked for his services in the school. Itachi is quite popular with the girls." Akeno giggled making Issei look jealousy at Itachi. Itachi stood there with his neutral look on his face. He could not help it if people wanted pacts made along with deals.

"Though this one makes special contracts via the internet." Kiba spoke making Issei's eyes widen, to think he made more money and pacts through the internet.

"You said he was sealed because he was too powerful. What is his ability?" Irina's eyes followed Rias as she walked up to the seal.

Rias said nothing as her magic circle appeared and began to glow brightly. It was then shattered, "The seal has been broken." Koneko said with a monotone voice. Issei swallowed a bit nervously if the piece was this powerful. Would it be scary looking?

Rias opened the door, "Hello." Rias spoke but was quickly interrupted. There was a loud girlish scream the bishop let out, "I'm glad you're doing well."

Itachi saw the coffin on the ground, "Vampire?" Itachi said out loud making Rias nod her head.

"What's going on?" The voice came from the coffin.

"Your seal's been broken. Now, why don't we-." Akeno took the lid off the coffin.

"No, I don't want to go! I want to stay here! I don't want to go outside!" Itachi looked at the child as he put his hand up to his face. The kid weirdly had sparkles around its head with its violet eyes seemingly sparkle with what little light came into the room. What he was seeing was an androgynous-looking male with platinum blond hair and pinkish-violet eyes. His hair is styled in a short bob cut with several small fringes over his forehead, and he has pointed ears, "What were they called again? Rias told me about them one time… traps?" "I think your right, I still don't understand human culture. I don't think I ever will." Albion spoke which made Itachi raise an eyebrow, "Haven't heard from you in a while why have you been so quiet?" "Well, I've been focusing on what magic you possess and use it to stall the disease. It takes focus and effort; it is not my body and it is your magic. It's not that easy to manipulate." Albion explained making Itachi mentally thank his partner. This has been only useful to use because Itachi hasn't been in combat. Otherwise, his disease would be progressing much quicker than everyone anticipated. Itachi and Albion knew that his time was running out quicker than they calculated.

"Damn a girl! And she is a blonde, just like Asia! Do we only have blonde bishops?!" Issei shouted out with a quick grunt came from Itachi's mouth making Issei look at him confused. Itachi also turned to Kiba as he chuckled, "What is it Nii-san? Kiba?"

"This is a boy you idiot." Itachi shook his head with everyone else beginning to chuckle.

"Itachi, what'd you say?" Issei turned his head to look at their bishop again with a dumbfounded look on his face.

Rias put her hands on hips, "He may look like a girl, but he's actually a boy." Rias explained making even Asia's eyes widen.
"WHAT!?" Issei and Asia both shouted at the same time.

"He likes to crossdress." Akeno added in.

"Yeah, you creep." Koneko added as an arrow with the word 'creep' shot into Issei's side.

Rias knelt down giving their new bishop a hug, "His name is Gasper Vladi. He's a part of this peerage and my other bishop."

The now names Gasper looked up at Itachi who currently had a single Sharingan active. His right eye glowed in the dark making everyone else look at Itachi, "He's has a lot of untapped potential… I can't seem to measure it."
"Good observation, if reviving a person requires more than one piece, then using one Mutation Piece would be sufficient in reincarnating that person instead of having to use several pieces. Mutation Pieces can be a Queen, Rook, Knight, Bishop, or Pawn. They are said to be exceedingly rare, and only 1 out of 10 Devils possess the Piece. The Mutation Piece is said to be a bug in the Evil Pieces system that was kept for fun. Just like Itachi, how all his pawns I revived him with promoted themselves to queens." Rias added making Issei look at Itachi.

Itachi simply shrugged his shoulders, "Even I'm not too sure how much stronger I can get."

"Well, Gasper here was actually a half-vampire and human until I turned him into a devil.

Issei leaned in, "Vampire? This kid?!" Akeno walked over and turned the light on which gave everyone a view of his room. Itachi saw all the different girly things Gasper had in his room, "You serious!? This couldn't possibly be happening!"

"But he is so cute." Asia chimed in las Gasper sat there in his coffin.

"That makes it even worse!" Issei began scratching his head in disbelief." Issei walked close to Gasper, "Nobody's gonna see you cross-dressing if you never leave this room!" Issei said harshly.
"B-B-But I look cuter this way." Gasper said as his eyes had a glaze form over them.

'Quit acting like a little girl, dammit!" Issei shouted until Itachi slapped him upside his head.

"Sorry about my little brother, he's a pervert and foolish. Though I do hope we get along." Itachi said gently making Gasper look at Itachi curiously.

"Wow he really is cute; it makes me want to cuddle with him!" Irina chirped out as she ran over to his side pulling him into a hug.

Issei swayed left and right until he fell on his knees, "For a moment, I was fantasizing about a pretty, blonde girl bishop duo."

Itachi simply rolled his eyes, Rias walked over placing her hands on her knees, "Gasper, let's go outside, okay?"

"Come on now, this is Buchou asking here." Issei gently placed a hand on Gasper's forearm.

Itachi saw everything happen in slow motion with his right Sharingan still on. He saw Gasper activate his ability allowing him to stop time. Itachi saw where Gasper was about to go and appeared in front of Gasper putting a hand on his shoulder. Gasper was shocked to see that Itachi was able to catch him, "I see so you have the ability to momentarily stop time."

"H-How were you able to go through my time stop!?" Gasper said a little freaked out making everyone else look at Itachi shocked too.

Itachi more or less shrugged his shoulders, "I knew where you would appear, so when you released the cast of your ability I knew where you would end up." Itachi looked deeper into Gasper's eyes, "Hey Gasper can you look into my eyes for a moment." Gasper did so but had a hard time because Itachi's eyes kinda scared him. Once Itachi was done he stood straight up and turned his Sharingan off, "I see so his eyes respond to his emotions, so when he's upset or gets scared. His power activates unwillingly. It's a powerful ability, it needs time to be able to control."

"Nii-san are you saying you found a way to control his power?" Issei wondered which made Rias and the other eyes widen.

"It's rather simple, his sacred gear works with his eyes. Like the Boosted Gear and the Divine Dividing sacred gear, they react to their owners' emotions and desires. I can bypass that using the Sharingan since it works like a Sharingan ability." Itachi knelt one knee making eye contact with Gasper, "I think I can help you control your powers Gasper, though I need you to trust me. That's our first step." Itachi held his hand out with a gentle smile adorning his face.

Rias, who was holding Gasper along with Irina both listened and looked at Itachi's face. Irina just blushed, but rias saw something more, "Qualities of a king." Rias looked down at Gasper who didn't seem to have a nervous look on his face anymore, "O-Okay then if Buchou asks… I'll go."

The group made their way towards the ORC room. Rias took her seat at her desk in her chair filling in information about Gasper, "Because Gasper can't control his powers, Nii-sama suggests sealing him for now since I wasn't able to control him myself. It also turns out that the power refines itself over time, giving him potential to be a balance breaker."

Rias put her hand on her head shaking it. Everyone turned their heads to see Gasper in a box, "I don't like it when you talk about me. I don't want attention!"

Itachi simply made a shadow clone bringing the box to the table and sat it down, "Buchou, it's almost time." Akeno turned to Rias reminding her about the important meeting.

"Indeed, Akeno and I have to attend the preliminary meeting for the leader's conference. Itachi, I also want you with me on this. Seems we acquired more of your ingredients you need for the medicine. Kiba, you as well my Nii-sama would like to know more about your balance breaker." Rias stood up from her desk.

"Hai, Buchou." Kiba stood and made his way towards Rias with Itachi.

"Everyone else, could I ask you to train Gasper while I'm away?" Rias spoke as a teleportation circle appeared behind her.

"Train him?" Issei didn't know what to do until he remembered how Itachi was able to catch up to Gasper using the Sharingan, "I guess now is a time to really work on it. Now that Nii-san knows about it.", "Nii-san when we get a chance, we need to work on my Sharingan again, okay!" Issei said with a determined look on his face.


Meeting

Rias, Akeno, Kiba, and Itachi made their way towards a separate meeting room in Kuoh Academy. They knocked on the door which opened curtesy of Grayfia, "Grayfia it's good to see you." Rias smiled seeing her sister-in-law.

"Rias-sama, everyone please come in." Grayfia bowed opening the doors to let everyone in.

Sirzechs was sitting behind a desk with his hands folded under his chin, "Ah, Rias everyone, you're all here perfect! Now, first things first. Kiba, Itachi I wanted to see you two specifically. "Itachi and Kiba both stepped forward, "Kiba let me get you out of the way. I would like to see your balance breaker if you don't mind."

Kiba did so, "Hai, as you wish Sirzechs-sama." Kiba pulled a sword out and handed it to Sirzechs. He looked at it and gently touched the sword. It didn't hurt him, but he could sense the divine power that dwelled within the sword.

"I see, this will be a great addition for Rias. Serve her well." Sirzechs nodded his head with a smile as Kiba bowed to him.

"I will do my best Sirzechs-sama." Kiba put his sword away and went back in line with everyone else.

"I know you will, Itachi I have received word from the higher from heaven about your predicament. They said they would be willing to hear you out. They also have a gift they would like to give to you. As a sign of peace between both heaven and the underworld. I'll need you to go to a shrine so Michael can see you." Sirzechs explained which earned a nod from Itachi, "While we got some time, Itachi can you give us a further description on the Uchiha." Sirzechs asked which made everyone else look at Itachi curiously.

Itachi then began to explain about the Uchiha clan wondering what Sirzechs was curious about. He did mention Uchiha to Itachi before and wonder how he knew of it, "Uchiha, what I've learned about this world's timeline and the one from the Elemental Nations. It took place during the warring states period. The Uchiha clan were a clan who possess great visual powers and abilities in the form of Ninshu. Our clan is also part of what is known as the so-called "Curse of Hatred" Uchiha are subject to powerful emotions: these emotions typically start as love for a friend or family member that then become overpowering hatred when the object of their love is lost. This loss, whether experienced or merely threatened, awakens an Uchiha's Sharingan. It is due to the Sharingan that the Uchiha have received much of their fame and notoriety." Itachi took a moment to pause and continued to explain more about the Uchiha and their past head of the clans. Including how he himself was the heir to the Uchiha Clan.


Hour Later

"I see then… well it's definitely different from our versions of the Uchiha clan. They were part of the pure-blood demons who were wiped out before our three factions began their war. They were wiped out causing the war to start. Their eye powers were something to behold, but something you seem to lack. I thought our stories would somehow intertwine, but alas it does not. Though it does make me wonder what other being brought you here." Sirzechs put his finger on his lip wondering what it could have been.

"If there anything else Sirzechs-sama?" Itachi bowed wondering if the Maou needed anything more answered.

"Do you know about the origin of the so-called chakra or ninjutsu that your people used?" Sirzechs asked wondering if Itachi knew their origins of chakra.

"No clue, even I have no idea how our chakra came to be. Though it has been said it was originated and founded by a person known as the Sage of Six Paths. We have a Uchiha Stone tablet, however, we found out that it was tampered with. By someone or something, but nothing ever came of it due to my father's fall. Sage of Six Paths is said to be the founder of Ninshu creed and formed clans having two sons even we don't know about." Itachi knew of the dreams he had now, but not once has he met Hagoromo. He has always met this blue energy being not knowing who or what it was.

"I see you know of his name at all?" Sirzechs question which Itachi again shook his head.

"No, we do not. All we know is created the Ninshu creed and taught it to us. However, we do know he had a special eye prowess like my own. He was considered a kami in our world. Not only did his abilities but also his eyes gave him tremendous power. It was known as the Rinnegan, it gave the wielder powerful chakra and boast enormous ocular power, such that unworthy wielder risks "losing themselves" upon implanting one. Their full power can only be brought out by their original owner, particularly when wielding both eyes, but possession of even a single transplanted Rinnegan can still grant overwhelming power. I am not too sure about it completely but I know having possession of the Rinnegan allows one to easily master any jutsu as well as all five basic nature transformations. The Rinnegan is the only dojutsus able to fully decipher the Sage of Six Paths' stone tablet. Though on its other abilities not much is known neither a lot is known on how to obtain it." Itachi explained what knowledge he knew about it, but also did not even know how to awaken it himself.

Rias looked at Itachi curiously along with Akeno and Kiba listening intently about it. When Itachi talked about his father it made even Akeno think about her own, "Itachi… I won't force you but there is something you're keeping from us." Sirzechs could feel Itachi's emotions even though he kept a great façade on.

Rias and the others shot their heads to Itachi in shock, what more could Itachi possibly be hiding? Itachi sighed, "Even I'm not too sure if the dream was even real or not. I was visited by a blue orb thing and it spoke to me. Told me that he gave me both Ashura's and Indra's chakra, as to who those two are? I do not know myself. I thought about it, and it is possible Ashura and Indra were his children, but that's all I could think of. He told me that I would receive the Rinnegan, I do not know if Issei will, but he does possess the Sharingan like I do. Though his is still immature and needs to be trained."

Sirzechs placed a hand on his hand and thought to himself, "I wonder… we found this long ago, and I don't know what it means." Sirzechs placed a file out on the table which Itachi walked up to it.

Itachi opened the folder and looked at the pictures inside of it. What he saw shook him to the core. Itachi felt his hearing go away and heard no one and felt nothing. As if he was a programmed machine, he picked the picture up. It was a giant, earthen-colored humanoid entity with a mummified appearance, a body shaped like a robe, and a number of spike-like protrusions on its back. The statue has nine eyes the size of an adult man, which usually remains closed, "Gedo Mazo… or also known as Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. At least this is what our Leader of the Akatsuki called it."

Everyone seeing Itachi's face turn almost pale scared them, not a lot of things doesn't scare Itachi. Maybe his friends dying, but anything else no. To see Itachi, knowing how strong he is, scared them at how silent and how pale his face went. Sirzechs put his hand under his chin and narrowed his eyes, "Itachi we have no records or idea what this thing is. You seem to recognize it, what is it?"

A/N: That's it! Yes, this really the reason why Itachi has not made a move on Rias. It's mainly Rias lacking the qualities as a king. Itachi cares about her, obviously, Rias also needs to realize how much she needs to grow. Fix some of the issues currently in their peerage. Mainly being Koneko and Akeno, Koneko was helped by Itachi. Though Rias needs to play a more role even with Gasper. This is going to be growth for Rias. Now… I know what you guys want me to talk about. YES, I DID ADD the last part ON PURPOSE! This is incase that the idea of going the OC Otsutsuki route everyone is cool with me going down! Yes, I know it this sounds ridiculous and all. Worst case scenario if people don't like it. Enough of you argue against it. I'll simply have Itachi make it where he seals it away inside of the moon. We all know the DxD world has the means to get Itachi there if he needs to. Itachi having the Rinnegan, he will be able to summon it and then seal it away in the moon. As for the whole tailed beast thing, they do exist, I can come up with names, beasts for how many tails. That or just make it that the "Tailed Beasts" are Great Red, Ophis, Ddraig, and Albion. Maybe whatever the other thirteen Longinus sacred gears as well. Idk it's just placed there in case I need to do it and you all still want more content. It is something for me to then go ahead and script out! Anyways I hope you all enjoyed! I will see you all next time! TitanFall007 OUT! Ja Ne!
