Decisions

1/29/2022: Yo! Sorry for the late update, but my beta Noblesage or a.k.a Silence has been having wifi issues due to a storm. So, he is currently not available, so I'll do my best to beta this chapter.

Hello, and sorry for the long break. My winter break is coming to an end and so does my long sessions of going without updating so much. I purposely had Akeno almost have like a melt down or begin to spiral out. That's because she really has developed these strong feelings towards Itachi. To find out that your best friend is engaged to the man you loved, but the man doesn't love you back the way he does towards your best friend. I bet it could make any person lose it a bit. Just a dark moment for Akeno and an eye opener for Rias. Now let's get onto reviews! Oh, and I am working on rewriting my Naruto x Infinite Stratos story. Idk know though on what the title should be.

Guest chapter 16. Sep 27, 2021: I see you took inspiration from the latest chapter of Michael Shadow's Itachi Sitri with the personality's thing in Itachi's mindscape. Although, I gotta say some of the plot is confusing. But still a nice read. Keep it up.

Last Chapter

Rias bit her lip as she felt her anger take over, "Akeno… Akeno! You damn idiot!" Rias smacked Akeno across the face with tears running down her face. Akeno could only look at Rias dumbly, "Don't you ever do that! Don't you ever do that again! You hear me!" Rias glared at her with tears running down her cheeks, "You're my best friend, you're like a sister to me Akeno! I would never leave you alone! I would never abandon you just because I have Itachi now! That doesn't mean he doesn't care about you either!" Rias tightened her fist as she forced herself to relax, "Akeno… we're having a very long talk. Together you and I are going to see a psychiatrist. You're going to stop hurting yourself. It's something Itachi would not want either."

Akeno couldn't say anything as she looked down in silence. What was she to say? Though it did feel good to get this off her chest.

"Akeno… come with me." Rias grabbed Akeno's hand and dragged her to where Itachi's room was. Rias dragged her into bed and placed Akeno in between herself and Itachi-sized body pillow, "I will be informing everyone, who is currently here and my parents, of this tomorrow, unless you inform everyone. I don't care if you and I say it, we're telling them tomorrow. For now, I am going to heal you. Shut up and get some sleep." Rias now had an angry tone in her voice. Though Akeno knew Rias did care, that's why she was so angry.

Akeno did have to ask, "Is that a."

"Shut up and go to sleep." Rias stammered out embarrassed as she closed her eyes to focus on healing Akeno. Akeno smiled seeing the Itachi-sized body pillow her king owned.

This Chapter

Itachi found himself in the bullet train they were in. He and his other fellow classmates are on their way to Kyoto. Itachi also remembers what Azazel told him and Issei about their sacred gears. Mainly Issei since all of his previous wielders have a lot of negative influence. Then Itachi had to find a different way to bring out the true power of his sacred gear. While also trying to figure out a safer way to bring out the Juggernaut. Itachi has been trying to figure out a way to do so without harming his body in the process. Though he was very unsure of how to do this thought. Itachi then opened an eye to find Issei sighing in his seat.

He was seated with Xenovia next to him with Irina and Asia right in front of him. While Kiba sat back in his seat relaxed, "Jeez, why did you report in by whispering into my ear!?" Issei asked confused by Xenovia's advances.

Xenovia giggled as she replied, "It looked like you were in deep in thought. I wanted to make sure you heard me."

Issei then opened his eyes and looked at Xenovia asking, "The church asked you to give them Durandal. Meanwhile, they recrafted Mimic into its sword for Irina along with some pieces of the other Excalibur in hers. But why did they want Durandal? Now that leaves you vulnerable."

Xenovia simply shrugged her shoulders, "I can still wield light. However, it's my own fault that I can't restrain my aura, but…"

"If it's necessary me or Issei can hand you Ascalon," Itachi added as he kept his eyes shut while facing forward.

"Yeah! That way you'll be able to help." Issei gave Xenovia a thumbs up.

"Thank you, Issei, Itachi." Xenovia smiled towards them satisfied with their answer. Xenovia goes sit with Irina and Asia. Xenovia wanted to know how Asia was able to get Issei to agree to have sex with her and make a child. Asia still had a few months to go, luckily, she'll be done in between breaks. Itachi hoped Itachi wouldn't be having another one so soon.

Soon Kiba came walking back seeing Issei's spot-free, and Itachi got up to go do his round. Kiba asked Issei, "Can I sit next to you?"

Issei nodded his head, "Sure." Though Issei began to notice glares from the girls from in the train.

Kiba asked, "Once we get there what did we have planned when we get there?"

Issei reached down and grabbed a brochure, "Our plans look like this." He handed it to Kiba.

Kiba took it and began to open it saying, "I'll also be in Tenryuji on the third day. If we plan it right, we may be able to meet at Togetsukyo Bridge. Come to think of it, before Itachi fought Sairaorg." Kiba folded the brochure up and handed it back to Issei, "I heard you and Itachi had to deal with the Four Great Devils?"

Issei chuckled as he smirked, "Yeah it was a fierce event. It completely changed my view of the underworld." Issei then had a smirk adorn his face, "The Four Great devils, dressed as hero rangers, kept doling our trials." Issei sighed as he looked out the window, "Well, I managed to pass them thanks to Itachi-Nii's training, but…" Issei remembered Ajuka making one of Issei's pawn pieces appear from his chest as well as doing it for Itachi too. Issei then remembered, "Come to think of it, I got some advice from Beelzebub-sama, too. I'm sure Itachi got the same."

Kiba was interested in what Issei had to say, "Advice?"

"Yeah. To maximize the power of the Red Dragon Emperor." Issei leaned forward as he placed his elbows on his legs and rested his hands under his chin, "I need to master being a knight and a rook like Itachi-Nii did." Issei then turned his head back to Kiba, "As I am now, I won't be able to beat Sairaorg or even go toe to toe against Itachi-Nii."

Kiba nodded his head, "Yes, you're right. Even with Itachi's training. We are far too weak… Itachi can even stop time, we couldn't even count that."

Issei then added, "I'll have to train during our trip, too!"

Kiba chuckled as he got up from his seat as said, "As expected of Issei. Well, contact me when you are buying your souvenirs. I don't want to accidentally buy the same things."

"Yeah, got it." Issei added as he smiled, this would be a very fun trip. Issei then mumbled to himself, "I still got some time." He closed his eyes and focused on his sacred hear to put his consciousness into it.

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

Train Station

Everyone got off the train until Itachi notice a man with a lecherous grin with his hands in front of him groping the air. It eerily reminded him of Issei as a woman ran away from him. The man said, "B-boobs. Boobs…"

Just then two-man tackled him to the ground shouting, "What are you doing?!"

"You bastard!" The other guy jumped onto him pulling him down. The woman behind them was crouching on the ground scared of the random occurrence.

Itachi could simply raise an eyebrow.

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

Hotel

Itachi found himself with Asia, Xenovia, Irina, Issei, his two perverted friends, Aika then called out to Issei and his group, "Okay, okay. Hurry it up and go in. You guys are blocking traffic." Itachi sensed she was different from the others, and she hid as a human well. Though Itachi decided not to dwell too much into it, he stayed silent and stoic as he usually is.

Just then Itachi saw Azazel and Rossweisse, "Hey guys. Your teacher Miss Rossweisse has some warnings for you." Azazel places his hand on his hip.

Rossweisse closed her eyes for a moment and said, "The…" She then shot them open with a serious look on her face, "100-yen shop at the Kyoto station! It is located in the underground shopping center!"

Azazel sighed as he began talking over her, "Okay that's all from Miss Rossweisse."

Rossweisse kept talking, "Money makes the world go round! And that money disappears quickly when buying things here and there!"

Azazel simply raised his hand and said, "Please go to your individual rooms now."

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

*Later Itachi's Room*

Itachi went up to his room with Issei next door and Itachi saw Issei raise his key up to his face, "This is a super high-class Kyoto hotel owned by the Gremory family. Issei opened the door and he looked at it in shock, "What the hell?! This is my room?!"

Just then Matsuda shot nearby Issei's door, "Seriously?! This is the only Japanese-style room here!"

"What do you mean? What does your room look like?!" Issei shot towards them. They quickly showed him pictures of their room with them already jumping around in the room with only their underwear.

Motohama fixed his glasses to his face with a finger, "Guess this is how they were able to manage the lodging budget."

"No way!" Issei looked at the photo applied.

"Issei!" Rossweisse came walking over however Issei was quickly up in her face.

"Rossweisse!" Issei began to whisper to her, "What is up with my room?!"

Itachi then came walking up behind Rossweisse, "Issei, you're with me, I got a spare bed in my room."

Issei's eyes began to water as he smiled in joy, "Thank you Itachi-Nii!"

Rossweisse shrugged her shoulders, "Plus Rias said this would be our room in case we needed to have an emergency meeting." She then turned her attention towards Issei's friends, "The afternoon is free time, but make sure not to go too crazy."

"Hai!" The two called out happily.

Itachi shook his head, "Don't worry, I'll make sure everyone behaves." Itachi added as Rossweisse nodded her head in thanks, she didn't notice it, but her cheeks had a slight hue of pink on them. She had to admit, that even Itachi was pretty good-looking.

Issei smiled as he said, "Let's go invite Asia, Itachi-Nii, and the others to explore!"

They Motohama and Matsuda fist-pumped the air, "All right!" "This is it!"

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

*Scene Shift "Fushimi Inari Taisha" "Rice Crackers" *

Itachi found himself with Issei, Asia, Irina, Xenovia, along with Issei's two perverted friends Motohama and Matsuda. Asia smiled as she looked at the plushy foxes, "Look at all the cute foxes! They're all really cute!" Asia giggled.

Irina agreed, "Yes! Very much so!" Irina chirped out as she picked one up.

Itachi walked up and asked, "Would you like me to get you two one?" Itachi asked with a soft smile on his face.

Asia nodded her head, "Sure Itachi-Nii! I would love it!"

Irina gave him a soft smile and nodded her head, "Yeah sure… thanks Itachi." Irina seemed to look away with an upset look on her face. Irina then looked towards Xenovia, "Hey Xenovia come look at this!" Irina wanted Xenovia over, Irina was having a hard time trying to be by Itachi. It still hurt that she was s turned down by Itachi, even after everything. She really wanted to be with him. Irina walked over to Xenovia who turned around to find Irina holding up a cute fox plushie in her hand.

Itachi stayed silent as Matsuda took a photo of the girls smiling together. Itachi walked over and said, "For a person of your notoriety, you take great pictures. However, I expect to receive them later. Then for you to delete those later." Itachi had a somewhat threatening tone in his voice.

Motohama quickly nodded his head and said, "Y-Yes S-S-Sir!" Matsuda could feel Itachi's threat even though he did a great job hiding the face it was a promise.

Aika walked up to Motohama and said, "Hey, aren't you going to take pictures of me?"

Without looking away with his camera Motohama said, "Your pictures do nothing but keep monsters at bay."

Aika retorted, "If that's the case, why not take some?" She walked up next to him and narrowed her eye at him, "It's not like you'll lose out on anything." She then began to take poses like a model, "Just take some. Come on. Come on."

Motohama snarky said back, "No! No! No! I definitely won't!"

Just then he was shut up when Itachi bonked him on the head, "Urusai, you're being too noisy!" Itachi turned and walked away, "For how stupidly perverted they are, they sure are dense. Seems Aika is like them in some way. I can see those two like one another." "Which reminds me Itachi, why do you prevent yourself from having a harem?" "Are we really talking about this?" Itachi retorted, he couldn't believe he was having this conversation with Albion right now, "Kid if I know anything, as a dragon emperor you always attract females due to your powerful aura. Besides, that Twin-Tail girl, black-haired girl with the ribbon, and that cat girl all like you." "Yeah, I know, but I decided on Rias, I'm also engaged to her. I'm not cheating on her." Itachi knew it was wrong to cheat, and he didn't want to do that. "I will never understand your species reasoning. We find a girl we like; we mate with them and produce offspring. You know how many men would kill to have a harem?" "We're done talking about this." Itachi sighed mentally, he didn't need to be worrying about this.

Everyone continues to walk through the shrine area, "It seems this statue here is to ward off demons."

Irina then added, "Normally we can't get close… But thanks to Buchou it won't be a problem." Irina held up a talisman which was given to her and the others by Rias. Funny enough Itachi was immune to the effects of warding, weird. Itachi and Issei both looked up and the two quickly met eyes, as Itachi simply nodded his head. They simply nod to one another meaning, 'Watch out we're being followed'.

The group kept going as Matsuda shouted, "Hey, Issei! You're slow! Hurry it up!"

Itachi then said, "Go, I'll keep watch." Itachi would be ready to stop time whenever he needed to. Luckily, he's been training his time stop to do it more frequently and stop it longer. Though it does take a toll on his chakra, his powerful demonic power helps compensate.

Motohama then shouted, "But make sure not to enter the camera's view!"

Issei simply sighed as he ran closer towards the others as they all passed under all the shrine gates, "Though we still have a while, we need to pass the gates and then make our way up the mountain." Aika added getting a sigh of annoyance from Motohama and Matsuda.

Just then Itachi sensed more people getting closer to them. He called out, "Issei I need to use the restroom. I'll meet you at the top." Itachi called out as he turned to walk away.

Issei for the note as he said, "I'm going to run up ahead." He took off faster before anyone could say 'Ramen'. Issei got to the top and went to the shrine and clapped his hands together, "I hope I become the Harem King! Itachi-Nii too!"

Just then a voice from behind the shrine said, "You're not from here!" Just then people came out with masks on their faces. Just then a small person came out from behind. She landed on top of the shrine gates and two raven-like creatures appeared next to her. She was a young girl with the appearance of an elementary school student. She has golden, blonde hair tied in a ponytail and matching eyes. She also has nine golden foxtails and matching ears.

"Is she a kitsune?!" Issei asked out loud curiously.

She tightened her fist as she growled out, "Outsider! How dare you." She then pointed at Issei and shouted, "I will have you return mother!"

"Huh?" Issei looked at her confused, "What are you talking about?! I don't know your mom!"

She shouted out, "Don't lie! You cannot deceive my eyes!" She then extended her hands forward to attack Issei as a raven Yokai went flying towards Issei.

Itachi was watching but decided to stay where he was and watch how this goes. He also wanted to see how much Issei has grown. Issei immediately took the Uchiha interceptor fist stance and turned his three tomoe Sharingan on. He diverted an attack from the raven Yokai. He then blocked a sword swing and kicked the fox Yokai away. Issei kept dodging and weaving until he found himself with Irina, Xenovia, and Asia by his side.

Just then Kunou appeared in front of them again, "Impure existences of evil! I will never forgive you!"

Just then Itachi landed on the ground to stop her from attacking everyone, "I see… Kunou the daughter of Yasaka, the current leader of the Yokai faction." The little girl continue to glare daggers at them, "You need to halt at once, you've mistaken us for the enemy, as we did nothing." Itachi's vanishing dragon wings appeared behind his back as his eyes morphed into his Rinnegan pattern.

The girl only glared at him as she backed up with her group, "We will retreat for now! But you better watch your back!" She glared at them as a huge gust of wind appeared around them as they all then vanished.

Once they were gone everyone relaxed, "What was that all about?" Issei scratched his head confused.

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

*Scene Shift*

Azazel had his hand on his chin thinking, "I guess that makes sense why you were attacked, but I'm unsure of what scenario."

"Yes, Kunou, the daughter of Yasaka. I'm sure that's her, I remember Akeno telling me about her." Itachi stood next to Issei as they were talking to Azazel and Rossweisse about the incident.

"Should we let Rias know? For now, we do not know their motives, but something must have happened. They're considering us even as enemies." Itachi closed his eyes, it could be anything, he'll probably have Venessa investigate what's going on around here.

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

At Night

Issei and Itachi were held up in their room together as Itachi slept peacefully. However, Issei was wide awake with his hands behind his head. Not able to sleep, he decided to get up and explore a bit. When he means to explore, he means to go see what the girls are up to. Issei smiled with a perverted look on his face as he made his way up the stairs. However, Rossweisse stood in his way with her hands on her hips. Rossweisse closed her eyes and sighed and said, "As a teacher and as a woman…" She flared her eyes open as her emerald eyes pierced into Issei's, "… I will protect the bodies of the female students with my life!"

Issei smirked as he said, "Even though we're allies, this is one thing I cannot back down on!" Issei swung his left hand in front of him as his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan spun to life, "I am going to sneak a peek of the woman's bath!"

Rossweisse closed her eyes and prepared herself for battle, "Then, it cannot be helped." She then put her hands in front of her, "Take this!" A light purple magic circle made of Norse magic shot a ball of magic at Issei. Issei quickly summoned his Susanoo and slapped the attack away. Rossweisse could tell Issei was stronger than usual, "You're stronger than usual… your attack just now…"

Issei's hair covered his face, "Rossweisse, if I can see the naked bodies of my female classmates." Issei then shot his head up towards her shouting, "I don't mind dying on my sword against you!"

Rossweisse leaned forward as she crossed her hands under her chest, "You have seen and touched the naked body of Asia and Xenovia have you not?! You've touched and seen them every day!" Rossweisse couldn't believe this pervert was Itachi's little brother!

Issei shouted with all his might as he raised both his fists to his side, "That is that! This is this!"

Rossweisse mumbled, "This is my last resort, but I can ask Itachi to stop you."

Issei couldn't believe her, "Huh? Itachi-Nii? You'd go that far…" He shrugged both shoulders up with his hands, "Cut me a little slack!" He then pointed at her with his left hand, "If you have such a small heart, you'll never get a boyfriend!"

Rossweisse froze up as she blushed, "B-B-B-Boyfriends have nothing to o with this!" She then closed her eyes and seemed to shrink back a bit holding both hands up shaking a bit, "I-I=I-I'mj just an ex-Valkyrie virgin!" Just then Rossweisse seemed to power up as she leaned backward with her Norse power appearing around her body, "I want to do perverted things with a boyfriend that has a bright future, too!"

Issei was taken back by Rossweisse true desire, "This is bad! I pushed a weird trigger button!". Rossweisse's hair covered her right eye as her left eye only peered through her hair. Rossweisse conjured up lighting in her hand and said, "I will no longer forgive you."

Issei charged forward as his boosted gear began to power up, Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Explosion! Issei jumped behind Rossweisse until someone appeared in front of Issei's attack. Itachi landed in front of him as Issei shouted, Dress break!

Just then Itachi's eyes widen as Issei's hand touched his clothes. So, Itachi's clothes were torn off his body. Issei freaked out as he fell backward screaming. Itachi looked down at himself as his Susanoo ribcage appeared. Itachi simply sighed, "Troublesome." Rossweisse stared at the naked Itachi with a blush on her face. Itachi rubbed the back of his head as Issei glared at Itachi and turned around, "Dang Itachi-Nii! I was going to get Ross-!" Before could finish Itachi karate chopped Issei over the head with his Susanoo knocking him out.

Itachi turned his head to Rossweisse, "Sorry about that Rossweisse-sensei. My idiot of a brother is to blame for this. I'll take him back." Itachi turned and began to walk away not caring on the subject that he was currently naked. Itachi simply cast a sleeping spell in the area to make sure everyone fell asleep momentarily. Itachi stopped time momentarily while still holding onto Issei and brought him back to their room. However, Rossweisse was still too busy remembering Itachi in his birthday suit with a massive blush on her face. So, she was unaffected by the sleep spell, "Have a good night."

Rossweisse just let a small sigh of relief out, as the area was now safe. However, she had to admit, Itachi coming to her rescue was pretty heroic, even if Issei didn't really have any evil intentions. It was nice to be protected. Rossweisse then mentally panicked, "W-Wait… I saw him naked! Will I be able to get married still?!"

Just then the door opened with Azazel looking for Rossweisse finding her blushing up a storm, "Hey Rossweisse, summon everyone. We all need to have a talk. Our little Great Devil Queen is calling for all of us to gather."

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

*Scene Shift*

Itachi and Issei came walking into a room with familiar faces. Members of Sona's peerage were in the room along with Xenovia, Azazel, Rossweisse, Asia, Kiba, and Irina. Saji spoke up, "Oh, Issei! Itachi-san!"

Issei sat down with a smile on his face, "Hey, Saji! How'd you like Kyoto?"

Saji closed his eyes and leaned back with a sigh, "I'm part of the student council." He leaned forward over the table, "I was helping the teachers and didn't get a chance to go anywhere."

Issei felt bad, "Even during trips, it must be hard on you."

Just then the girl in the room with a kimono spoke up to gain their attention, "Here! The poultry here is exceptional! Eat up, everyone!"

Issei noticed it was Lady Serafall Leviathan, "Lady Leviathan, why are you here?"

Serafall smiled as she said, "For work, I came to forge an alliance with the youkai of Kyoto. Also..." Serafall looked at Itachi, "To get answers from little old It-tan over here..." Serafall got uncomfortably close for Itachi's taste as she had a sickly-sweet smile adorning her face, "I heard something or someone about beating my little So-tan at chess!"

Itachi began to sweat as he nervously raised his hand, "I-I simply had a friendly match with Sona-san." Saji couldn't believe it, that Itachi still was able to beat her at chess.

Serafall pouted as she puffed her cheek to the side, "Mou, I'll save it for later but you better answer later!" Serafall took a seat at the table next to Azazel, "Back to the main issue something terrible has happened."

"Lady Yasaka has been kidnapped," Itachi added in causing Azazel's eyes to widen, just then Itachi stuck his hand out. Venessa appeared in a swirl of threads until it formed a red cat on his left arm. Which proceeded to climb up Itachi's arm and sit on his shoulder.

Azazel was astonished, "Woah incredible familiar you got there kid! That's none other than "The Red Thread of Fate: Venessa" one of the hardest familiars to find and even have on your side. Impressive." He placed his hand on his chin, "She must be great for making you and your friends almost invincible to defeat. As long you have large pools of demonic energy required to sustain the "Thread of Fate" and one of the best familiars for reconnaissance."

"As I was saying, the leader is a youkai. A nine-tailed fox who has kept them all together has gone missing." Serafall had a worried look on her face.

"That could be…" Issei stated."

"The…" Irina continued.

"At Fushimi Inari…" Asia finished.

"The attack on us." Xenovia remembered when a little nine-tailed fox girl attacked them in the forest.

Saji couldn't believe it, "Of course, it happens to you guys. Seems like things were just as tough for you guys as well."

"I heard your report from Azazel. I believe it is the case, and it was a mistake on their end." Serafall knew it was an honest mistake, she had no doubt the faction is troubled.

"They must be on edge." Itachi added which everyone turned to him, "For their leader to be kidnapped under their noses. I have no doubt that they think any beings in their territory besides Lady Leviathan could almost be seen as a threat."

"I think it's the Khaos Brigade." Azazel added and everyone seemed to nod their heads in agreement. Azazel stood up annoyed, "Damn, our hands are full taking care of the students right now!" He walked for a moment to clear his head, "They really got us this time."

Serafall hoped to ease everyone's worry, "There are youkai who are willing to help. We plan on gaining help from their contacts.

Azazel walked to the window of the building, "I'll help out too." Azazel turned his head to them, "For now… enjoy the trip. I'll call if something happens."

Itachi looked to Venessa, "Venessa make sure the perimeter where all the students are at is always safe. Notify me if anything serious happens, I am sending a Shadow Clone to go inform Rias right now." Like that, a Shadow clone of Itachi disappeared using a shushin. Venessa left as she turned into red threads and left.

"Tch, Itachi always willing to lift a finger." Azazel turned his looking outside, "The trip is more important to make memories. We adults will do what we can, so enjoy Kyoto for now."

"Azazel-sensei…" Issei was impressed with how helpful Azazel has been.
Serafall then added in, "That's right, make sure to enjoy Kyoto to the fullest! I plan to do the same!" Serafall took her chopsticks and took a bite of some food, "For now lets all enjoy this delicious food!"

Issei with a smile on his face raised his fist into the air, "For now, we can only gill our bellies! Well, then!"

"Itadakimasu!" Everyone cheered together.

Next Day

Itachi found himself at a separate training ground with his Rinnegan glowing purple. Itachi in front of him had his hand in front of himself facing the concrete wall. Ten feet away from him was his katana, Itachi mentally said, Universal Pull!On cue, the sword flew to his hand and landed perfectly with his hand on the grip. Itachi turned his head to the left and saw a rock on the ground and began to focus the gravity on it. Itachi found it relatively easy to push objects away from him and pull them towards him. However, trying to affect the gravity of an object he found it relatively difficult.

Thanks to an idea Koneko had, everyone sat down and watched the entire Star Wars series. It got Itachi thinking of learning to control gravity just how Nagato did. Using the ability to manipulate gravity and take it to a new level. Though he found it relatively hard when he thought of something to be too heavy. However, when he thought it was light, it was easier to lift. Even though he made himself believe that heavy objects were light. The need to concentrate was difficult, making sure he trained his mind was important.

Itachi did, however, find it easier to time stop for longer periods of time and much more frequently. However, if he spammed it too much, he found it quite tiring and needed a moment to catch his breath. Though if he paced himself, he found it quite easy to do so when he needed to. Itachi took the katan in his hand and began to go through some regular practice swings and steadily increased his speed.

Soon Kiba, Irina, and Xenovia came walking into his training zone. Itachi could see Issei, and Asia was with them too, but Asia had her spell removed from her stomach. He could see that Asia was already about three to four weeks pregnant, "Seems like you could use a sparring partner." Kiba raised his sword and rested it on his shoulder.

"Training with others will help you improve quicker." Xenovia did the same thing Kiba did placing a wooden sword on her shoulder.

Irina had a small smile and nodded her head, "Yeah! Let's do it." Itachi could still sense the bit of disappointment in her voice. Itachi is going to have to talk to Rias about this.

Later

Itachi was walking with his group in Kyoto as he lagged behind a bit while everyone else was ahead. Just then Aika slowed down to Issei's, and Asia's pace and she said, "Asia, this place is called Sannenzaka. They say if you trip here, you'll die."

Asia seemed to worry as she latched herself onto Issei as she held him close, "Issei-san! How scary!"

Issei simply patted her head, "Asia it's only a superstition." However, before Asia could relax, Xenovia latched onto the other side of Issei. This made Asia only want to hug closer to Issei due to Xenovia's advances, "Xenovia what's wrong?" Issei looked at her relatively confused.

Xenovia said, "Japan must use terrifying arts when developing their hillsides."

Issei seemed to deadpan, "You believe her, too?"

Irina's twin tails seemed to deflate with her own worries, "Is… is that really true?" Irina unconsciously moved next to Itachi clinging onto his arm. Itachi didn't stop Irina as he simply placed a hand on her head rubbing it trying to calm her down.

Aika giggled watching the scene unfold, "You all are taking this too seriously." Though Motohama and Matsuda were none to happy about this.

Though Irina quickly let go of Itachi as she blushed and looked away. She continued to move forward, while Itachi tried to reach out to her. However, he felt himself stop, he was unsure of what he could do. He wasn't sure how to handle a situation like this. So, instead of making it worse, for now, he would leave it. He really is going to have to have a talk with Rias about this later on.

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

Scene Shift

The group made their way up to a temple that overlooked the forest below. Aika began to inform everyone of the location, "This temple honors the Senju Kannon bodhisattva."

Xenovia chimed in adding, "In Sanskrit, sahasrabhuja arya avalokitesvara." Asia, Xenovia, and Irina came to the edge of the temple.

Asia looked at Xenovia confused, "Huh?"

Xenovia continued, "Like I said, sahasrabhuja arya avalokitesvara."

Irina lifted her head up from looking at the forest below to at Asia, "-Oh, yeah. I remember Issei once saying that it be nice to fondle the boobs of 500 women at once."

In the background being in ignored, Xenovia kept trying to tell the two her information on the temple, "-Sahasrabhuja arya avalokitesvara"

"-Hey, are you listening Asia?" Irina looked at Asia confused.

Asia quickly said, "Oh, I'm sorry, Irina!"

Issei had his hands on his hip, "It's nice to see the three church members get along."

Aika had her hands behind her back, "But it must be hard to deal with them at the same time."

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

Scene Shift

Itachi found himself in front of those wishing bells at shrines. Irina, Xenovia, and Asia were in front of them doing their own prayers and clapping their hands together. Aika said to Issei, "You should have Asia pull one of those love fortunes?"

The two did so and found out that their fortunes matched them perfectly together, "Hey Asia look! We match perfectly! It says we're excellent for one another!" Issei had a tint of pink stain his cheeks, it was a little embarrassing. Mainly because Asia was already carrying his child.

Asia nodded her head happily, "Yes! It makes me so happy!" Asia closed her eyes and reassured herself again making her feel even happier than before, "Really. So happy…" Asia hugged her fortune tight.

"Congratulations Asia." Xenovia pipped in.

"You two do make a cute couple!" Irina chirped in as well.

Aika smiled as she said, "Somehow it's put me at ease, too!"

Meanwhile, Itachi watched as Motohama and Matsuda cried, "Don't cry, Motohama!" Matsuda said as tears ran down his cheeks, "You can punch Issei when we get back to the hotel!"

Aika then got everyone's attention, "Alright guys! Onto the next place!" Before Aika could finish Xenovia took off like a bat out of hell… more like an angel out of heaven.

Praise Michael!

(SoP: Anyone get the reference? FGBs? )

Xenovia came to the one tourist attraction she has been wanting to see, the Ginkaku-ji, "It's not silver!"

Asia giggled a bit, "Xenovia was talking about how living in it must be so blinding."

Issei was glad she was enjoying herself, "It seems the only thing that shined were your eyes."

Then they went to the next temple, and it looked like gold, this was the Kinkaku-ji, "It's gold!" Xenovia threw her hands into the air excitedly. Xenovia pulled Asia into a cheerful embrace, "It's gold!"

Asia was happy that Xenovia was so excited and happy about seeing these temples. Seeing Xenovia happy made Asia happy, "Thank goodness. I'm so happy for you!"

Issei took a picture of the two, "Shiny things huh, she really likes shiny things." Issei then sent the photo to Rias.

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

Scene Shift

Everyone found themselves in a forest clearing where they sat down for a break. Xenovia couldn't help but keep staring at her surrounding in awe, "Xenovia, your green tea is gonna cold." Aika warned her until a shout came from the other side.

"Kyyaaa! Pervert! Molester!" Itachi and Issei stood up and looked towards the direction of where that came from. Everyone also looked in that direction too.

"Huh?!"

"Get him!" Two men shouted tackling the guy to the ground.

They heard the molester say, "B-Boobs! Give me boobs!"

Then Motohama and Matsuda started talking about their lack of boobs. So, Itachi decided to just tune them out for now. So, he ignored what everyone else was saying as well. He needed to figure out his own issues, those issues was with Irina, Akeno, and Kuroka. They've been rather distant lately and hesitant when around him. He was worried that his proposal to Rias was really dampening their friendship.

Itachi was cut from his thoughts when he got a call from Akeno. Itachi answered the phone and put it to his ear, "Moshi-Moshi?"

"Itachi. Sorry for the sudden call. Koneko said something that worried me." Akeno sounded worried herself over the phone as well.

"What's up?" Itachi looked at the sky with curiosity about what was going on.

"Those pictures that Issei just sent me. They were in the photos you just send us a few moments ago… fox Youkai."

Just then Itachi looked up from the call as Xenovia said, "Y-You guys are…" Itachi saw the fox and other different kinds of Youkai come from the forest around them. Motohama and Matsuda were put to sleep along with Aika.

"Akeno, I'll call you back." Itachi put his phone down and walked forward as Issei put his arm up activating his sacred gear. However, Itachi put his hand in front of them, "Stand down all of you. They have no will intent."

Just then Rossweisse came running from the side as she even said, "Everyone just hold up a moment!" Rossweisse caught her breath, "Azazel has told us to come and get all of you."

"Azazel…-sensei?" Issei looked at the Youkai as the one bowed to him in respect.

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

*Scene Shift Nighttime*

Everyone was going through the youkai area of Kyoto where many creatures of all races, shapes, and sizes were present. Itachi found this welcoming, to see this many different species of youkai together. There was peace, and there seemed to be harmony between them. It made Itachi smile on the outside and inside, it was something that was coming to this world. Between the three factions, once peace is achieved, he'll be able to live a life. A life hopefully without having to fight, if Itachi hates anything.

It's fighting unnecessary battles that could get someone killed for no reason.

Everyone kept walking until they seemed to arrive at a big palace of the estate where the leader of the Youkai must stay. When they reached there, Azazel, Serafall, and a fox girl with them were there. The young girl with the appearance of an elementary school student. She has golden, blonde hair tied in a ponytail and matching eyes. She also has nine golden foxtails and matching ears. Itachi already assumed on their first meeting that she must be the daughter of the leader of the Youkai.

Azazel had his arms crossed, and Serafall had her hands in the air waving to them, "Oh, they're here! Hi, everyone!"

Issei was a little surprised, "Azazel-sensei?! Leviathan-sama?! What's going on?"

The blonde fox youkai walked to the side as the girl from the other day was there, "Oh, you're that girl from the other day." Issei pointed out.

The little girl then said, "I lead the youkai who live in the light and shadows of Kyoto. I am Kunou, the daughter of Yasaka. I apologize for my behavior yesterday. I attack you without knowing your situation." The girl now known as Kunou bowed forward, "Please forgive me. I beg you."
Xenovia smiled as she tilted her head to the side with her hands on her hips, "Well, it's fine. I'm just glad the misunderstanding is all cleared up."

Itachi walked up to the girl and placed a hand on her head. Kunou looked up at the gaze of Itachi as he gave her a smile, "Don't worry about it Kunou-sama, that was passed, this is now. I'm sure we can come to an understanding."

Irina smiled at the cute fox girl, "Well like Xenovia, angels have to have forgiving hearts big enough to forgive."

Asia chimed in, "Yes. Peace is always the best."

Issei walked over and knelt to her height, "Um, can we just call you Kunou?" Itachi only sighed, of course, Issei would ask something like that, "Plus, Kunou I'm sure you're worried about your mom, aren't you?"

The girl quickly shot her head up as her ears stood tall along with her tails, "O-Of course!"

Issei smiled, "Then, a mistake like that is understandable. You then apologized because you realized you were wrong, right?" Issei had a bigger grin appear across his face, "If that's the case, there's no reason for us to condemn you."

Kunou looked away for a moment, she was a bit embarrassed with the two Hyoudou brothers right in front of her, "T-Thank you." Kunou then turned her attention to everyone, "And, I feel bad asking after doing such a thing…"

Just then Serafall piped in, "I will explain the current details of the situation." Everyone was escorted to a room to talk about the details of what happened. Once everyone was seated, Serafall continued to inform everyone, "A few days ago, their honored nine-tail leader, Yasaka, left to meet with the servant of Sakra of Mount Meru. However, she never appeared for the meeting. After some inquiry from the youkai side, it was determined Yasaka was kidnapped by an unknown group." Serafall looked at Azazel, "And so, they searched all over Kyoto for any suspicious groups and ran into the Red and White Dragon Emperor's party."

Azazel then continued, "First, Serafall and I came to speak with the youkai of Kyoto. We explained that the underworld was not involved with Princess Yasaka. And we shared that, judging from the method, there's a good chance the Hero Faction of the Khoas Brigade was involved."

Issei sighed, "Them again?"

Itachi narrowed his eyes, "I remember, we had that shadow, sacred gear user, we fought. We made him turn tail and run pretty quickly." Itachi closed his eyes as he held up his hand and the Gremory circle appeared, soon after Venessa appeared, "Begin collecting intel on the possible whereabouts of where the Hero Faction are. I will be doing a search later tonight using my Rinnegan to see if I can see the spikes of chakra throughout Kyoto. They must have her near here somewhere, I'm sure I can pick up on her trail pretty quickly."

"As you wish Itachi-sama!" Venessa changed into a bunch of red years and disappeared scattering in the night sky.

A man in the meeting room had red skin, white hair, and black feathers on his back. He was the Karasu-Tengu member who worked with Yasaka. He asked, "How soon do you think we could save Princess Yasaka?"

Itachi then said, "It depends, but I'm sure we'll find her quick; I'll send scouts to keep a look out."

The leader of the Karasu-Tengu continued to say, "We have had a bond with the nine-tailed clan since the old days. We shall lend you all of our strength." He then took a scroll out and unraveled it for everyone to see. Yasaka appears as a young woman with a voluptuous figure and very long blonde hair with matching eyes. She is a woman with delicate facial features and her eyebrows are cut very short and round a symbol of nobility. Her hair is usually tied in a loose ponytail, reaching all the way down to her legs that end in a spiral, with taut bandages to keep it in place. She usually wears a traditional shrine maiden attire, and over that, she wore a white coat held closed by a red ribbon and a golden crown.

Issei couldn't believe what he was seeing, "T-This is…!"

Kunou begged them as she was on her hands and knees, "I beg of you. My mother… Lend us your strength to save my mother." She bowed further, "No, please lend us your strength. I beg of you."

Itachi nodded his head as he jabbed Issei in the side causing him to whine out in pain. Issei had his perverted look in his eyes, "All you need to do is ask Kunou. We will do our very best." Itachi had twenty shadow clones appear in the room surprising Kunou, the Karasu-Tengu, and the one singular fox youkai in the room. They were sensing that chakra was used to create those clones. Just then Itachi had his clones absorb Senjutsu to enhance their senses as they Shushined out of the room.

The Karasu-Tengu said, "T-That…. That was Senjutsu just now… I heard the rumors of the White Dragon Emperor using chakra and Senjutsu… but I didn't believe it until now."

Azazel jutted in, "So that's the situation. Enjoy your trip to the fullest for now, but we're depending on you if something happens. As an apology, the princess here will accompany your tour as your guide."

Kunou smiled as she said, "Please take care of me."

*Scene Shift Itachi's Room*

Irina made her way towards Itachi's room, he asked her to stop by his room once they returned. Once she knocked Itachi opened the door, "Ah, Irina you're here good, we have an emergency."

Irina was a little taken back by this, "Ummm what is going on Itachi?"

"We're heading back to go see Rias, Akeno, and Kuroka. Akeno got hurt." Itachi extended his hand out, "Grab on, I'll teleport us. We're meeting Rias in the underworld."

"Umm… okay." Irina took his hand as the two disappeared in the circle.

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

*Gremory Estate Underworld*

Itachi and Irina appeared in the family room in Rias's house. Rias was sitting on the couch with Akeno next to her and Koneko on the other side of Rias. Kuroka was standing behind the couch Risa was sitting on. Zeoticus, Venelana, and Grayfia were there. It seems there was a serious situation right now, and Irina wondered what it could be. Before Irina could ask anything Itachi immediately left her side and walked up to Akeno.

Akeno stood up, she went to meet his gaze, but she quickly found herself looking away from Itachi. Akeno didn't know what to do say, she informed him of what happened between her and Rias. Itachi if anything was pissed.

Akeno found a lump in her throat.

Irina could tell that Itachi was mad, she's never seen Itachi this mad before. Even though Itachi had a stoic look on his face. Irina could clearly see he was mad.

"Do you have anything to save for yourself?" Itachi demanded which made Akeno flinch, she didn't know what to say. Rias was a little taken back by Itachi's tone, she thought he might be a bit more of a worried tone. Hell, even Koneko was a bit shaken up by Itachi's tone.

Akeno simply looked down as she nervously shifted her feet, then her left hand grabbed onto her right bicep, "I-I'm sorry… sorry for my actions… that I might have taken against Rias for…"

*SLAP!*

The smack of a hand meeting the flesh of Akeno's face shocked mostly everyone in the room. Venelana smiled, she knew exactly why Itachi did that.

"You idiot!" Itachi yelled which Akeno looked up at him to meet the look of hatred in his eyes. However, when Akeno looked, she saw no look of hatred or anger towards her.

Itachi had tears streaming down his face, "That's not why I'm mad at you!" Itachi pulled her into a hug shocking Akeno. Rias then realized what Itachi was getting at, and so did everyone else. Itachi gently pulled away from their hug as he cupped his hand on her cheek, "I'm mad at you because you never told me how much you were hurting… and that you were hurting yourself physically. I'm upset at that you had the thought of hurting Rias, but you never did. You never acted on it, and Rias still sees you as her best friend… Akeno, I could never hate you, but I can be mad at you." Itachi wiped his tear as Akeno placed her hand over her mouth. She was beginning to tear up, "I was worried when I first heard of this! W-We… no I could have lost you."

Before anyone knew it, the Fallen Angel/Devil was crying his Itachi's arms. She cried how much it hurt, she cried how she wanted to love him, but he wouldn't love her the way be she wanted him to do so.

After about five minutes Akeno began to calm down and Itachi continued to hold her close, "You okay now?" Itachi asked with a worried look on his face.

Akeno nodded her head, "Y-Yes… I am… just… can we stay like this just for a little longer?" Akeno wanted to make this last at least because it won't be often Itachi would ever hold her like this.

Though what bothered Irina, was why she was brought along.

Rias then spoke up, "Now, let's fill Irina in. We've already told everyone else but you."

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

*Five Minutes Later*

Irina was sitting on the couch next to Koneko, "I see… but I fail to see why I am here."

Rias looked at the ground for a moment, she smiled. She closed her eyes and held her hands close to her chest. She then opened them and met Itachi's eyes. He was still standing there holding Akeno in a tight hug still comforting her. Rias looked towards her mother and Venelana smiled, she stood up, "Grayfia, Anata, let us go." Venelana began to make her way out. Zeoticus stayed silent but had a smile on his face. Grayfia was quite pleased with Rias's decision, obviously, Sirzech's situation is much different from Itachi's. Venelana walked up to Rias and pulled her into a hug. She kissed her forehead and then whispered, "I'm proud of just how far you've grown Rias. You're following your heart; I truly can see you care for their happiness as much as your own. I love you."Venelana turned and left through the doors closing them giving them privacy.

"As curious as Irina is, I am wondering why you wanted Kuroka, Koneko, and Irina to come." Itachi turned his attention to Rias.

Rias smiled as patted a head-on Koneko's head. Gasper was actually off on the side in a box. Rias waved everyone to get closer and Kuroka leaned in closer to listen to Rias. Rias looked at Akeno, then to Irina, and finally, her eyes landed on Kuroka. Rias walked over and kissed Itachi his lips which he gently returned. Rias turned her head to the girls and said, "Irina… Akeno… I love you two so much. Your are part of my peerage and are part of my family. I never wanted to see you two hurt so much… it hurt me to see that." Rias turned to Kuroka, "Kuroka… you may not be affiliated with us all too much. However, you changed your ways and became the sister that Koneko needed you to be. You've become a close family friend to the Gremory Family." Rias took a moment and paused.

Rias felt her heart jump a bit, she found herself truly happy at the idea. She knew this is what she wanted. Rias tilted her head to the side in a cute fashion and said, "Irina… Akeno… Kuroka… I give you three free reign to date and love Itachi as much as I have!"

Irina's, Akeno's, and Kuroka's eyes widen in shock as the gear in their minds began to slowly turn after the sudden drop of wonderful and magical news.

Who knew just a sentence could sound so wonderful?
