The seven slept soundly under the sheets as the sun slowly began peering through the window when they heard a voice call from outside of the mansion, "Gluttony!" the seven moaned as the voice called out again, "Gluttony, get your animalistic butt up! We got a meeting to get to!"

Iruma groaned as he sat up and the other's looked at him in confusion, "Who is that?" Haruno yawned and shook her head, "And who is Gluttony?"

"That is Gyari the Greed and she's calling on me…the seven Rings don't call each other by their names, rather the title of their Ring," Iruma looked at Kerori and saw the stunned expression crossing her face and he frowned, "Is everything okay, Kerori?"

"I…I'm fine, Iruma, but you better see what she wants and why she's here at the crack of dawn," Iruma hummed and nodded before he stood up, slid a part of shorts and a shirt on before walking over to the window.

Opening the window, he looked down and saw a tall, platinum blonde demoness with yellow eyes standing by the front gate. The demoness smirked as she crossed her arms, "Damn, and here I thought Sloth was going to be hard to wake up. Were you taking a catnap or something?"

Iruma groaned as he shook his head, "Stupid joke, Greed…it's the break of dawn, why are you here?"

"Why? Isn't it obvious?" the demoness questioned, "We have a meeting today,"

"No, no we don't," Iruma snapped, "The Seven Rings don't meet until Sunday afternoon, and just because one of us wants to change the day doesn't mean it's going to happen, Gyari!" Gyari narrowed her eyes as Iruma sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, "Look Greed, even if you got Wrath, Sloth, Lust, Envy and Pride to agree to changing the day of our meeting, it won't work because it has to be unanimous and I'm not changing the day. I have plans today and they don't include the other Rings,"

Gyari growled under her breath before she jumped onto her motorbike and looked up with narrowed eyes, "You're an asshole, Gluttony!" riding away from the mansion, Iruma sighed and shook his head before he closed the window and looked back.

Looking around, the blue-haired Changeling arched a brow, "What?"

"You had plans today?" Eiko asked and Iruma hummed and nodded and the six frowned slightly, "Does your plans involve…any of us?"

Iruma sighed as he rubbed the back of his head, "I'm…going to get in trouble for this…no," he looked up and slightly frowned, "I'm sorry, but I had plans to go out with Ryu and Shinji today an-"

"Who?" Haruno arched a brow.

"Ryu is Lady Levi's grandson and Shinji is Lord Belliard's grandson. The three of us are good friends…anyway…the plans are going to be canceled either way because it's going to rain within the next hour and it won't stop until late tonight. I didn't want to tell Greed that because then she'd never leave until I agreed to change the day of the Rings meeting," the six stared at him and he shook his head, "What?"

"Did you want us to go home, Iruma-kins?" Clara frowned, "But we were worried about you. Your parents were here yesterday and-"

"I didn't want you six to go home last night and I'm glad you girls stayed," Iruma walked over to her before he reached up and patted the top of Clara's head as he slightly smiled, "Turning into that Chimera yesterday…I know I frightened everyone here as well as your families, and don't try lying to me,"

The room fell silent before Elizabetta sighed and sat up, "It worried us all. None of us seen you lose it like that and we were worried that you were going to do something you were going to regret. We heard you talking to yourself last night and how you wanted to kill your parents while they were here,"

"Yeah…I know…I wanted to tear them apart, and if you six, or even one of you weren't here to stop me, I'd do it," the six demonesses frowned as Iruma sighed, turned his back towards them and sat down, "Like I said, you six are the only ones to calm me down when I'm like that and I wasn't lying. The only thing that can't be stopped is primal and that's because it won't stop until the threat is eliminated,"

The six stared at him before Eiko asked, "So…what triggers primal?" Iruma took a deep breath and shook his head, "Well…why didn't you tell us you knew Gyari?"

"The Seven Rings don't like others knowing about them…well…Greed is different, but I still won't tell anyone the other Rings, if just to piss them off," he looked back and inhaled slowly, "Any other questions?"

"Yes," Ameri cleared her throat before looking up with slightly narrowed eyes, "Last night…we did that to help you get over your parents being here and you repay us by…biting us? What was that about, Iruma?"

Iruma sighed and shook his head, "It's an animal thing, you wouldn't under-"

"We've known you for half our lives, we know a fair bit about the animal kingdom, so try us," Haruno demanded as she crossed her arms, "Ameri is right. We did that to help you get over your parents being here and turning into that Chimera and you thank us by biting our necks?"

Iruma sighed and shook his head as he ran his fingers through his hair, "Like I said, it's an animal thing and I don't feel like dying today," the demonesses looked at each other before Iruma turned and began walking towards the door. Stopping in front of the door, he looked back and took a deep breath, "You girls might want to get dressed before grandpa or Opera sees you like that an-" he looked back and his eyes widened when he saw Opera standing in front of him, "Hello Opera,"

The demonesses quickly covered themselves with the sheet as the redhaired servant looked at them and then at Iruma, "I'm sorry to intrude, sir, but Lord Sullivan and I heard shouting and we thought something happened,"

"N-no…nothing happened…Greed just stopped by, tried to change the day the Rings meeting…you know,"

Opera hummed, "And why are your little friends like that? And why are they in your room, sir?" their eyes widened as they looked away and Opera turned and began walking away, "I advise all of you to get ready for the day. You seven have some explaining to do an-"

"It's my fault, Opera," Opera looked back as Clara, Ameri, Eiko, Haruno, Elizabetta and Kerori looked at Iruma with wide eyes, "I forced them into this…you don't need to get them or their families involved and just-"

"Master Iruma," Iruma looked at as Opera took a deep breath, "Lord Sullivan and I know you well enough to know when you're lying. I understand that you want to protect your friends but lying about something like this isn't the way to go about it," Iruma frowned as he looked away, "Now, I advise you seven to get ready to explain everything to your families about all of this," their eyes widened as their faces turned pale as Opera turned and walked out of the room.

Seeing the door close and hearing the latch catch, Eiko sighed and shook her head, "This isn't going end well," the others nodded in agreement before the six looked at Iruma and Eiko arched a brow in confusion, "And what was that about, Iruma?" Iruma hummed and looked back, a puzzling look crossing his face, "You were going to tell Opera that it was your idea what happened between us last night and you know that that's not true,"

"An…animal thing…it'll be explained when your families get here," Iruma looked up and saw wide eyes staring at him, "Yeah…Opera wasn't lying about that. He and grandpa are already calling them as we speak,"

"So…now what? Do we try to lie?" Haruno shook her head, "Because my parents can see our memories, read our thoughts and they'll be able to we're lying an-"

"They know what'll happen if they try that to me without my permission," the six groaned as Iruma sighed and rubbed the back of his head, "I'm sorry, but my animals find it an invasion of privacy and…I'll lash out and probably bite their hands off…probably…but if it'll lessen the blow…I'll tell you six why I bit you last night," the six hummed and looked at the Changeling in confusion, "I doubt it, but does anyone remember the second day I was here and Clara's father asked how I kept coming back and why it was only when you girls were together and I said it was because my animals said you six were my decided?"

"You said you didn't know what they meant but that they said we were your decided," Eiko arched a brow and shook her head, "For a while everyone asked what you mean by that, but you kept giving the same answer and eventually we stopped,"

"Right…well I didn't know…not until like…last year," the six narrowed their eyes slightly and Iruma tilted his head to the side in confusion, "What?"

"You knew what your animals meant for a whole year and you didn't bother telling us! Explain yourself, Iruma!" Ameri demanded and Iruma's eyes widened as he slowly backed away, "We figured you'd tell us once you knew!"

"I was…I just didn't think…it was…important at the time, but seeing as your families are going to be here…I just…decided to bring it up," Iruma nervously chuckled and the six glared at him before he sighed and rubbed the back of his head, "I kind of knew for a while…ever since your families and grandpa and Opera saved my life that day, there was a tiny voice in the back of my head saying I was going to have six…but again, 5-year-old boy suddenly turned into a fox and surrounded by a group of demons…I took off like a bat out of hell.

The voice got stranger over the next two years and that's when I came to the Netherworld…told everyone that my animals said that you six were my decided and that I didn't know what it meant, which was true…and last year…they told me…you girls are my…mates," he tightly closed his eyes as his body shook.

Opening his eyes, he looked up to see the confused expression crossing everyone's faces, "Mates?" Clara tilted her head to the side, "Like…friends Iruma-kins?" Iruma took a deep breath and shook his head, "Then…what do you mean?"

"Well…if you're talking about a technical term then yeah…it means friends, but we're talking about the animal kingdom here and…it…it means you six are my wives," the room fell silent as Iruma looked around at the stunned expressions staring at him, "And before you girls say anything…none of us had a say. My animals have chosen you six, I don't know why and I'm not questioning it,"

Kerori slowly shook her head, "But wait…what does that have to do with you biting us last night? You said you were going to tell us,"

"Right…I was just…marking you six…so no one, even though I know all six of you are strong alone, will harass you in any way, shape or form," the room fell silent again before Iruma's nose began twitching and he sighed, "Well…your families are here…so…we better explain everything to them before something happens," slowly nodding in agreement, they watched as Iruma turned and walked out of the room before they got up and began getting dressed.

Sitting in front of their families, the seven looked up to see the horrified expressions crossings everyone's faces. All eyes locked on Iruma as Henri narrowed his eyes, "And you claim that on one here had a say in any of this?"

"I didn't pick them, my animals did, and I'm not going to complain or question it because I have six lovely ladies as my mates," Iruma sighed as he shook his head and crossed his arms as Clara, Ameri, Eiko, Haruno, Kerori and Elizabetta looked at him with stunned expressions crossing their faces, "Anymore questions?"

"When did this happen?" Elizabetta's father questioned slowly, "When did all of this happen?"

"The day all of you and grandpa and Opera saved my life," the room fell silent before Iruma narrowed his eyes, "Anything else?"

Eiko's mother sighed and shook her head as she crossed her arms, "So it was either leave you that day to die and let it haunt us for the rest of our lives, or save you and basically force you and our daughters into this marriage?"

"Like I said, no one here except my animals had a say," hearing the door open, everyone looked up to see two demons, one with short, turquoise hair and the other with long, white hair standing in the doorway. Standing up, the Changeling sighed as he shook his head, "Ryu, Shinji, what the hell are you idiots doing here? Didn't you get my text?"

"Yeah, we got it," the white-haired demon, Shinji spoke, "So it's supposed to rain today, so we decided to come hang out here,"

"Indeed," Ryu spoke before looking at the guests in the room, "But it appears that you have guests over an-"

"We actually were about to leave, young man," Kerori's mother spoke as the adults stood up.

Looking at the seven, Clara's father narrowed his eyes, "Since tomorrow is Sunday, you girls are more than welcomed to stay tonight, as long as it's okay with Lord Sullivan and until we figure out what's going on here, you six are to stay in the guest room and Iruma is to stay in his own room an-" before he could finish, his wife covered his mouth with a slight smile crossing her lips.

She looked back at the seven and slightly shook her head, "Just stay out of trouble, kids," the demonesses nodded as they watched as their families walked out of the mansion.

Seeing the door close, Ryu and Shinji walked over to Iruma and Shinji smirked as he crossed his arms, "Well Iru-boy, since we're here, we might as well play some games,"

Iruma looked back at the six and Haruno smiled as she shook her head, "Go on, Iruma. You had plans for today, we'll keep ourselves occupied until your friends go home,"

Iruma arched a brow as Clara walked up to him and smiled, "We'll be fine, Iruma-kins. Go have fun with your friends,"

"Your voices are straining, an-"

"We'll be fine, Iruma," Elizabetta gave a small smile, "We'll find something for us to do until your friends go home," Iruma sighed and nodded as he watched as the six turned and walked away before he led Shinji and Ryu up the stairs to his room.

I know I added a few spoilers to the manga, and I now know the real names of the two grandsons, but it's too late to change their names. I feel like I nailed the Ring of Greed greatly…only if you read the manga…enjoy.
