New chapter, so what you think?

That's all I got at the moment. Other then Yor is pretty hot.

If there are any mistakes sorry in advance.


"What was Millicas thinking?"

"What do you mean, Buchou?" Akeno asked, preparing some late-night tea, seeing as the day ended. It was a hard day's work of delivering fliers completed even though their familiars passed them out. Her king paced back and forth as her arms were folded against her chest pushing her bosom up. A sight any of the male students would have loved to have seen. "Is it about him choosing a Queen?"

"Yes, but that alone isn't the problem," Rias answered as she looked at her Queen. "We know that the Shinto shrine is now closed to everyone who isn't allied with them, rumors of gods appearing in Kuoh Town, the magicians are on edge with their well-kept secrets, and that's not all. Even the familiar forest is in chaos, and only satan class devils can go. It's like the balance of the supernatural world will become altered again."

"Well, maybe it is," Akeno said, pouring herself and Rias some tea. The Earl Grey that Sebastion gave her filled the room with a nice fragrance. Reminding her of the vacation, Rias took them on only a year ago. "Wouldn't it spice things up and give you a chance to get out of the marriage?"

"True, but it doesn't help that my nephew decided to recruit someone suddenly, and it's going to be his queen of all pieces. Why would he do this all of a sudden? He's shown no interest before, and he even claimed it had to be someone special. It couldn't just be because of their power or abilities," Rias responded. Sipping at the tea, her queen gave her let out a sigh of relief as the flavors washed over her tongue. "Make sure to give Sebastion a package of the finest sake we have for his master."

"I will, and don't worry about everything, Buchou. I bet everything will work out," Akeno responded, already knowing what one to give to the other devil. An orange-haired object captured her attention from the corner of her eye. The newly made queen of Rias's nephew was staring at them. His brown eyes watched them intently through the window.

"Buchou, we have a peeping tom," Akeno said as Rias turned towards the window seeing the person staring at her naked figure. A blush quickly formed on her face as she realized that Millicas's queen was staring at her. "Akeno, close the curtains!"

"Why don't we give him a show instead?" Akeno whispered into her ear, the hot air causing a shiver to shot up Rias's spine as Akeno's hands gripped her breast playing with them as they both stared outside the window towards Ichigo. The teen's face scowled as he watched her play with her king before he did the unthinkable.

"He's leaving," Akeno said, surprised by the teen's actions as he turned away and left. He was not showing any interest in her Kings body. A first for both of them.

"What?" Rias asked, her eyes slowly opening as she watched the teen walk away. "You're right he is. Am I not beautiful enough for him?"

Akeno didn't get a chance to voice her opinion as an orb formed in Rias's hand. As she started talking to herself as they watched him disappear. A pout on her face as it stayed the same color but this time with a different meaning.

"He'll regret that," Rias said, crushing the orb in her hand before walking towards the shower she had prepared for her earlier. The steam slowly filled up the club room as she entered it. She was forming a plan on how to get back at her nephew's queen. Akeno laughed to herself, wondering if the new devil knew what he got himself into.


Ichigo tried dodging the punch Toji sent toward him. The man's fist crossed the distance faster than he could react and moved faster than his body could respond to the impact of flesh. He cursed at himself as he felt another blow follow up with the previous one. Leaving him gasping on the ground. "Fuck."

"If this is all you got, Kurosaki, this is disappointing," Toji said, kicking the teen in the stomach when he was down. Holding back enough to not rupture anything necessary for the teen. "I thought you were supposed to be decent at fighting. Apparently, that was a lie. You're piss poor at it."

"Shut up," Ichigo barely let out as he tried pushing himself up. Toji did not give him a chance as he kicked his arm out from under him, sending him back to the ground. The right side of his face hit the cold floor with a thud. The person he was supposed to be sparing with walked away uninterested in him. "Where are you going? We're not done."

He heard the sigh from Toji as he grabbed one of the water bottles to drink, the man's green eyes piercing him, trying to find something like so many others were. It was weird how people were suddenly looking at him, he thought. Why were they looking at him like that? Were they trying to see if he had a drive or not, or was it something else they were looking for? He didn't know. Looking at his hands, he pushed himself and turned to face Toji. The man was standing still, waiting for him to attack again. Just like he previously did.

"You gonna land a hit this time?" Toji asked him, a bulge appearing on his head at the comment. The teen launched himself forward as soon as he finished speaking with a frown on his face. Annoyed that the teen so far hasn't shown any promise. That would mean Aizen was wrong about the kid, and he knew that man wasn't wrong about anything.

Throwing a punch forward like before, he half expected the kid to fail again. His face mere centimeters away from his fist before it was knocked out of the way, an expression of surprise forming as the teen managed to deflect his attack. The impact of a fist connecting with his side alerting him that Ichigo finally landed a hit. A smirk slowly formed on his face as he realized this might be interesting after all.

Ichigo bit the inside of his cheek as he punched Toji, the man's skin harder than steel as his hand refused to give along with Toji's skin. The pain was excruciating as it felt like he had broken something.

"What the fuck are you made out of!" He yelled as he backed away, holding his hand. He was trying to form a fist sending pain up his arm as he cursed, knowing something wasn't right with it anymore. "I think I broke something."

"Grow a pair then," Toji said as Ichigo turned to face in time. This time another punch was aimed at his head faster than the previous ones.

'Was he holding back this whole time?' Ichigo thought as his mind tried forming a plan to dodge the punch. Unaware, he was too exhausted to do anything to avoid it as his body reacted independently. He was moving to the right to avoid being hit narrowly. Toji's right hand was already being thrown towards his stomach, his body slowly trying to avoid it before it was too late.

"Too slow," Toji commented as he landed another strike on Ichigo's stomach. The teen gasped for air once again as he tried to recover from the punch. The physical exhaustion was now finally catching up with the teen. "If you ever want a rematch in the future, you know how to set it up."

Ichigo watched as Toji left the kendo-sparing room as he slowly recovered from the exhaustion. To sore to move a muscle as a beeping sound alerted him to a new message on his phone. A groan left him as he tried pushing himself up before the weight of his body sent him back to the ground.

"I'm going to be in so much pain tomorrow," He told himself aloud, knowing that it was true. The chances of him being blue and purple from the bruises were sure to happen. He was dragging himself across the wooden floor. He reached up to grab his phone. The person who decided to message him was none other than Issei.

'The musician you told me about sucked. Yuuma didn't like him,' The text message read, making Ichigo sit up before wincing in pain. The teen almost forgot that it was Issei's date tonight. Surprised that he took his advice and found the musician Manabu told him about.

'How bad was he?' Ichigo sent back, leaning against a bench, slowly gaining some stamina. Standing up, he grabbed the bag he had brought with him. Leaving the sparring room, he turned the lights off, waiting for a response from Issei.

Walking down the sidewalk of Kuoh Academy, he looked at the deserted buildings before his attention was grabbed by a single light in the abandoned building that Kuoh Academy had. Scrunching up his eyes, he stared at the light, wondering if one of the janitors forgot to turn it off. A vibration from his pocket alerted him that Issei had responded.

'He was tone-death!' Issei said in the message, causing him to laugh as he started to leave again, already forgetting about the light in the window. 'We just left dinner, and I plan to bring her to the park for the grand finale.'

Ichigo let out a whistle as he read what Issei said, surprised at how into the date he was. 'So you're going to kiss her in front of the water fountain?'

'Yep! It's a full moon too, so it'll be even more romantic,' Issei told him as he looked up at the moon, realizing it was indeed a full moon. The smile he had grown a tiny bit at the sight of it. Part of him always enjoyed its presence when he was growing up. 'Why don't you meet us up with us at the fountain? I can introduce you to my first harem member.'

Ichigo shook his head as he made it outside of Kuoh Academy, the gate closing behind him as he left it for good today. 'Sure, I'll see if the musician is still around too. I want to know how truly tone-deaf he is.'

'Bring earplugs if you truly plan on trying to find him,' Issei replied to his message, a small laugh leaving him as he went off to the park.

Walking down the street, he realized how quiet it was. No sounds filled the emptiness as he walked. The silence was deafening causing him to speed up a little, as a shiver went down his spine. He would say he wasn't scared easily, but something just felt off about the silence surrounding him as he walked under a lamp. Not even the moths were out and about as he decided to hurry up to the park.

Making it to the park, he let out a sigh that he was holding as the silence that permeated the area was finally broken by someone playing music. Ichigo followed the music, wondering what the person looked like, curiosity replacing the unease from earlier. Turning the corner as he reached the source, he stared at the person.

"I've seen you before," He said, pointing his finger at the person who had a guitar in hand, their aqua green eyes looking up at him, a soft smile on their face as they face him. The mischief in the person's eyes was easy to spot. "From Chelda's Cafe, right?"

"Oh, you're the boy who held the door open for me," They said as they stopped playing music, the silence returning to the park. "How can I help you?"

Ichigo paused as the person asked him that question. He wasn't here for help. He was just curious about the musician he had heard about. "Oh, nothing. I was curious about a tone-deaf bard my friend told me about."

The musician raised a delicate eyebrow at what he said, curiosity on his face. "Tone-deaf bard?"

Ichigo realized the mistake he had made, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly as the musician took off the guitar strap he had on and placed the instrument back into the case. "Sorry, mistake on my part."

"Freudian slip?" The person commented as they put their hands in the pockets of their hoodie. The white hoodie they were wearing was not out of place as it highlighted his braids. A pattern of lines that he's never seen before. "What's your name, kid?"

"Yeah, and aren't you a little too short to be calling me kid?" Ichigo replied, a bulge forming on his forehead before he dropped it. Too exhausted to exchange jabs with the musician. "Ichigo Kurosaki, you?"

"Just 'cause I'm short doesn't mean I'm younger than you," The person shot back a sly smile on their lips before their attention was brought to his phone as it flashed in his pocket. "My name is Venti."

"Huh, that's unique," Ichigo commented as he pulled his phone out of his pocket. A message on the screen. Issei asked where he was, his perverted friend already at the fountain with his date. "Are you going to be here tomorrow or another day?"

"Maybe," Venti said, picking up the guitar case and slinging it over one of his shoulders. "You got to go?"

"Yeah," Ichigo responded to the adult since he could afford all that alcohol from the cafe. He doubted that the place would give underage people alcohol. "I got to meet up with my friend at the fountain."

"Shame I was going to ask you to walk me back to where I was staying," Venti said before explaining his reasoning, which confused Ichigo. "It's not safe to walk these streets so late at night, Ichigo."

"It's no problem," He responded, taken back by how serious the person sounded when he said that. Like he knew something that he didn't. It was like he might have understood why everything was so quiet. "Maybe next time." He joked.

"Sure," Venti commented as he left. "See you next time Shiba."

"Shiba?" Ichigo questioned before frowning, wondering why the person decided to call him a type of dog. The thought quickly dropped as he continued over to the fountain Issei told him to meet at.

He marched towards the fountain, already knowing that he was a couple of turns away from it. His curiosity about how Issei got this date bugged him as he got closer, two figures next to it, barely able to make them out.

"Ichigo!" Issei yelled as he spotted his friend, the orange-haired teen, slowly walking towards them, looking exhausted. Like he could barely stand. Not catching the look of disgust on his girlfriend's face as he continued. "Get over and meet my girlfriend!"

"Yo," He said as he waved at the two of them. His eyes were on the girl that asked Issei out. Her silky black hair and slender body with a large bust were a hundred percent Issei's type as he sighed, wondering if the planet aligned and caused this.

"Isn't she beautiful?" Issei asked him, grabbing him by the shoulders and shaking him to his misery. "We're about to kiss. Can you take a picture? It would mean a lot to me."

Ichigo ignored his friend as he looked at Yuuma, the look of disgust not hidden as she looked at Issei and him. His brain tried to work as it attempted to determine why she had that look when she asked Issei out on a date before it was replaced by something else that he couldn't pin, a type of smile that didn't sit well with him.

"Ise-kun, can you do me a favor before we kiss?" She asked, stepping away from the two humans as her hands were behind her back.

"I'll do anything for you, Yuuma-chan," Issei said with a sing-song voice as he seemed to be in heaven.

"Will you die for me?"

"Huh?" They both said in unison, stunned by what Yuuma was asking Issei. A chill ran down Ichigo's spine as he realized that she was serious.

"Can you repeat that, Yuuma-chan? I think I went deaf in my ears for a second," Issei said, walking a couple of steps forward past him. Part of him wanted to curse Issei for going in front of him, but it would prove advantageous if he ran for it.

"Will you die for me?"

"Yumma-chan, that's a funny joke," Issei said before being cut off. Flapping filled their ears before jet black wings appeared behind her. Her eyes turned into something cruel and unimaginable as she stared at them. Her appearance changed as she seemed to gain a couple of inches of height. Her clothes changed from something pleasant to black leather straps wrapped under and around her breast pushing them forward to show off. His eyes lowered to her where her dress was before. It was no longer there, replaced by a thong held on by thin straps on her hip.

"It's disappointing that I will have to kill two humans today, but Azazel-sama will understand once I explain it to him," She said to herself, forming an object in her hands, the shape oddly like a spear.

"Move it!" Ichigo yelled, grabbing Issei by the collar and dragging him out of the way as soon as she threw the object. The place he was standing now indented with it before it vanished as soon as it appeared. The idea of running away by himself was buried and forgotten about.

"She just tried killing me," Issei whispered to himself, staring at the hole where the spear penetrated in the ground next to him. "Thank you."

"Thank me lat-" He didn't get to finish his sentence. A warm feeling filled his mouth as he coughed. Blood spattered in front of him as he looked down at the spear protruding from his chest, where his heart was located. Part of him wondered when she created it and threw it towards him. Sinking to his knees as he looked at the spear before it vanished, leaving a gaping hole where his heart was.

"Ichigo!" He heard to his left before a thud filled his ears, Issei landing right next to him. A spear inside of his stomach as he tried gasping at it. His friend slowly stared up at the moon as the woman who killed them walked over.

"I am sorry for having to kill both of you, but you were a threat to us, Issei. And you stranger just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. If you want to hold a grudge or hate me, blame god who put a Sacred Gear inside you, Issei."

Ichigo could barely understand a word she was saying before she flew off. He wondered if this was normal for people dying, how time felt to go by so slow. Looking at Issei, he saw his friend reach out to him with one hand as the other went to his stomach. Tears in his eyes at the realization that he was also dying. He grabbed Issei's hand, trying to comfort his friend in their dying moments.

Falling over, he watched as a white feather fell in front of him.
