Something most people initially don't assume about the various species of the Supernatural World is the fact that they can act and behave in ways that made it difficult to tell that they weren't human. A rather prime example of this being the fifthteen year old Devil known as Rias Gremory, a proud otaku (nudist) and King, who was currently enjoying a shopping spree at the mall with her female friends and Peerage-members in the Japanese town of Kuoh. Her Queen, Akeno Himejima, and her Rook, Koneko Toujou. While the other two members of the Peerage had been invited, both of them had respectfully declined the invitation. The Knight, Yuuto Kiba, had declined joining the shopping spree in order to get some extra training in swordsmanship (and possibly avoid becoming the one carrying all of the girls' bags(again)) and the Bishop, Gasper Vladi, had declined because the crossdresser was feeling more afraid than normal.
Approaching the food court of the mall in order to not only meet up with her Peerage-members but also grab something to eat, Rias was greeted by a sight that she was unprepared for. Sitting at one of the many tables was a pair of people that she had only encountered once, in the audience of that Rating Game last year, happily sharing a rather large order of Takoyaki. The two were even occasionally feeding each other the octopus balls with their toothpicks, making it very obvious that the two were a couple. Earning the two girls various kinds of looks from the crowd. Some were looking at them with disapproval. Some were looking at the two with the idea that the two girls made a sweet couple. The last kind of looks the couple was on the receiving end of were looks of lust and glares of envy, from both genders, though the latter was only from other members of the finer sex.
Involuntarily gulping at the sight of the couple from last year enjoying what was obviously a date, Rias made her way to her Queen and Rook, who were oblivious to the presence of the couple enjoying Takoyaki in the midst of the crowd. While she tried to, she unknowingly failed to hide her anxiety brought forth by the presence of the silvery grey eyed girl who still haunted her nightmares on occasion. Something that Koneko noticed and couldn't stop herself from snarking about.
"Senpai looks like she either should have hit the bathroom earlier or worn her brown pants." While the Rook's snarky comment earned her somewhat offended looks from her fellow Devils, it also made Akeno notice Rias' unsuccessfully suppressed anxiety.
"What's wrong, Rias?" Asked Akeno worriedly.
"They're here, Akeno. In Kuoh." Replied Rias in a tone of borderline panic.
"Who?"
"Remember those two from the Rating Game last year?"
"Yeah, I remember. Why?"
"I'm pretty sure I saw those two eating Takoyaki in the food court just now."
"Oh. Something tells me there's something more to it though."
"They were eating from the same order of food. Even feeding each other occasionally." Deadpanned Rias, earning looks of surprise from her fellow Devils.
"They're dating!?"
"… yuri." Were Akeno and Koneko's respective responses to the revelation.
"That certainly explains why the silvery grey eyed one threatened to kill you. You were considering basically stealing her girlfriend."
"Please don't say it like that. It makes me sound like a meddler, which I'm not."
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Think we should take a picture of those two in order to make sure the others know to stay away from them if they see them, Rias?" Asked Akeno after a moment of silence.
"That's probably a good idea." Replied the redhead who pulled out her phone and snapped a picture of the couple that made her feel uneasy. Catching a rather adorable picture of the two girls having just fed each other an octopus ball each.
