Hot! Hot!


For a week after learning the truth, Kali wept in grief and cried a lot, often breaking down at random moments, though Diodora was always there to stop her from entering into the spiral of depression. He was ever present providing her with moral and physical support, be it with his kind words or just providing a shoulder to cry on. Kali wasn't sure how many of his shirts she had ruined, but the number had to be high.

Kali was utterly grateful to Diodora for not only keeping her sane but also for supporting and protecting her. She didn't know what she would have done without him. He was always present at her side as a reassuring presence, acting as a foundation on which she could build herself again. She was appreciative of his hugs and gentle touches, which always comforted and soothed her and she had started to look forward to them.

Over the next couple of weeks as she became more and more composed, Diodora started filling her in about the events and history of the last 500 years. He also provided her books to get a more in depth picture of what had happened in the intervening period.

In the aftermath of the Devil Civil War, the Anti-Satan Faction splintered into two factions as the aces of the faction became the new Four Great Satans while Zekram Bael and his Bael Clan were able to gain greater influence in the Underworld due to supporting the Underworld in the aftermath of the Original Four Great Satans deaths and the loss of influence among the original Satan clans after their defeat in the Devil Civil War. The Bael Clan created the Great King Faction in order to continue to increase the power of the Bael Clan and maintain the society of nobles that the pureblood High-class Devils had created.

The Satan positions where then given to Sirzechs Lucifer (of the Gremory Clan), Serafall Leviathan (of the Sitri Clan), Ajuka Beelzebub (of the Astaroth Clan), and Falbium Asmodeus (of the Glasya-Labolas Clan). Four Devils who were born with immense power, equivalent or superior to the original four and were chosen for the Satans' positions despite not carrying the blood of the original Satans.

The great King Faction and the New Satans were of comparable strength and would often differ in opinion about the future of devil society resulting in a political tug-of-war that would remain ongoing for several centuries.

Nearly all of the Six Houses of Lucifer were destroyed in the conflict. Due to not having any place to go to after the destruction of her House, Grayfia Lucifuge was taken into the Gremory domain by Zeoticus Gremory's request. Sirzechs Gremory later proposed to Grayfia Lucifuge, which she accepted. When Sirzechs later became the Satan Lucifer, Grayfia became his Queen. The surviving members of the Satan clans were driven into the outskirts of the Underworld and later became the Old Satan Faction.

Speaking of Grayfia, Kali had asked Diodora what he had meant by Queen and he had promised to explain about it in detail one day soon when she was in a better state.

Now that she was coping with her loss better she once more asked about it. Diodora nodded, indicating that he would answer before taking a sip of tea, gathering his thoughts. They were sitting on the patio of the mansion, overlooking an artificial pond, swimming pool he had called it. Kali hadn't partaken in swimming yet though she planned to do so soon, as the water looked quite inviting to her.

Soon Diodora began.

"Because of the great war and the civil war, the devil population was at an all time low. Combine that with our low reproductive rate, there was a need to find a way to recover and replenish our numbers. At that moment Ajuka Beelzebub created the Evil Pieces. The Evil Pieces, sometimes also called the Devil's Pieces, are a set of 15 chess pieces given to High-class Devils to increase their ranks by reincarnating other beings into Devils. And other beings could be any other intelligent species, be it human, vampires, dragons, shapeshifters, Youkai, even fallen angels and other devils. The only exceptions are Gods, Buddhas and Dragon gods."

"The Evil Pieces are identical to normal chess pieces in terms of appearance but will glow in accordance to the aura color of its users when in use. So for example, my pieces glow green when I use them to reincarnate a member of my peerage. The different pieces grant different boosts to the reincarnated devils. Knights gain increased speed and mobility, enabling them to perform high-speed attacks and maneuvers. Bishops gain enhanced demonic power and magical abilities which they can use to conjure up a multitude of spells. Rooks gain superhuman strength, leading to high offense and defense. Queens possess all the characteristics of Rooks, Knights, and Bishops, making them the most balanced piece as well as the most powerful. The traits of Pawns is the ability to promote into a Queen, Rook, Knight, or Bishop in enemy territory or with the permission of their King. The owner/ possessor of the set of evil pieces is the King."

He took a sip of tea before continuing, "With the use of Evil pieces our numbers quickly replenished and as a race we are strong once more, though the Fallen Angels are arguably the strongest of the christian trio."

Kali sipped her tea as well, digesting the information she was given. They sat in companionable silence for a while before Kali asked another question.

"Lord Astaroth, can you tell me about the other supernatural races?"

The golden eyed man mock-glared at her, "I told you to call me Dio, or Diodora at least, Kaileigh."

Kali blushed before agreeing, "Only if you call me Kali. That's what my friends and family used to call me. Kay-lee sounds so formal."

Dio gave her a brilliant sincere smile as she had indirectly called him a friend, causing her to blush deeper and feel all warm inside. To hide her blush she took another sip of the tea causing Dio to smirk before he spoke again.

"Where to start. Let's start with Vampires. They and the werewolves are still at each other's throat, nothing changed there, though the vampires have divided into two bickering factions. Several hundred years ago, there was an incident that split the world of Vampires, where the Vampires argued between choosing a female true ancestor and a male true ancestor in order to retain the purity of pure-blooded Vampires. This incident eventually gave birth to the Tepes Faction, a male-dominated Vampire faction and the Carmilla Faction, a female-dominated Vampire faction."

"All the other religious factions are still around and strong. Norse, Greek, Hindu, Shinto, Celtic, Egyptian, Buddha, all the gods are still there. What else, hmm… the Youkai are divided into two factions as well, though I'm not too aware about them."

He paused to take a sip of his tea before continuing,"Among humans, the Church and the exorcists are the only significant groups, both still as annoying as they probably were back then. The dragons are still being dragons though Tiamat became a devil, so that was a big win for us."

Kali's eyes widened in surprise at that because Tiamat was not just one of the five dragon kings, she was the only female one and by far the strongest. Dio continued talking about the various supernatural groups, though Kali's eyes kept drifting towards the swimming pool, something which the blonde noted.

"Do you wish to go for a swim?" He stopped his narration and asked her, smiling.

Kali blushed once again, being caught distracted and not paying attention. She, however, took the opportunity presented, "Yes, I do. It was one of my favorite hobbies before, apart from painting." she replied wistfully.

Forcefully snapping out of her nostalgia, she shyly asked him, "Will you join me?"

Dio grinned in response, "Of course. Here, let the servants show you the changing rooms."

He called one of the several human servants that worked at the mansion and Kali followed her to the changing room.

The changing room reminded her of another major change from her time. The clothes and fashion had changed completely in the last 500 years. Dio had informed her that most of the changes had happened in the last century. Nowadays, women had so many options and varieties of clothing available that Kali could wear a different style everyday and she wouldn't be able to go through all of them in even a year. Or 2. Currently she was wearing what the magazines called a mini sundress. It was yellow and made of cotton, with thin strings on her shoulders holding it up, spaghetti, she remembered it was called, and ended about halfway down her thighs.

Dio had bought her various fashion booklets called magazines, which showcased the latest fashion trends and styles currently in the world. Humans in the last century had developed various methods to dispense information, which had led to a rapid evolution in ideas, technology and ingenuity among them. Dio had introduced her to computers and the internet and Kali had been using it to learn more about the current human world.

As she entered the changing room, the human servant pointed out various styles of swimwear available, her eyes widening once more at how revealing most of them were.

As she walked away, Diodora let a brief lecherous smirk appear on his face as he ogled her tight round ass in the minidress.

His plan to gain her trust was working, he could tell. He had already made her emotionally dependent on him by taking advantage of her loss and despair. Being the only supportive and soothing voice, she had gravitated to him like a moth to a flame. With his good looks and kind words, soon she'll be putty in his hands. Now, it was time to up the seduction, he thought with a smirk.

He had seen her interest in the pool early on, and had stocked the changing room with daring and revealing swimwear so that she would have no other choice. He, himself changed into tight short swimming briefs that displayed his chiseled tanned body magnificently and fit him quite snugly. He timed his arrival just so that she would get a full display of his wet, just showered body, with water droplets all over his smooth skin and his blonde hair messily swept back in a way that girls thought was sexy. His efforts were rewarded by a shortening of her breath and a blush rising from her neck.

As he looked at her, he had to struggle to control his facial expression, lest a lecherous grin show itself on his face. Instead, he gave her an appreciative look and a gentle smile, showcasing his interest but not his true intentions.

He hit the mark perfectly as the red eyed girl blushed prettily, looking down at her feet. He took the opportunity to ogle her almost bare body which only had two bright red colored triangles covering her breasts and a thong of the same color covering her lower bits.

After a few moments of leering, he approached her, took her hand and asked, "Shall we?" waving in the direction of the pool.

Kali nodded and he guided her to the steps, before entering the water. He turned around and watched her step down as well, marveling at her almost bare beautiful bottom waving in his face. Soon they were lazily swimming around, though he had stopped soon after to relax floating by the edge as he watched her swim laps. After a few laps she approached him with eyes bright with exhilaration and excitement.

"Well, why aren't you swimming?"

"I actually found a more enjoyable activity," he smoothly replied.

"What?"

"Watching you, of course." he winked suggestively.

"Diiiioooo!" she squealed, as a beautiful blush bloomed on her face and she splashed him in an attempt to hide it.

He splashed her back and soon the two were engaged in a water war, her delightful laughter ringing around the mansion. A few minutes later he ended the war by pinned her on the edge of the pool, with her giggling uncontrollably at his disheveled look.

He whipped his hair back with a hand, his other still holding both her wrists, grinning at her. Her giggle stopped abruptly as she got a close look of his handsome face with his eyes gaining a luscious look. Her eyes flicked to his lips and that was all the invitation he needed. He leaned forward, closing the distance between them and captured her lips with his.

She didn't respond immediately, making Diodora think that he might have pushed too far. However, his fear was unfounded as she started moving her lips a moment later.

He let her hands go and wrapped his arms around her waist, eager to touch more of her skin. As he deepened the kiss, her arms came to wrap around his neck. In response he pulled her into his body until their forms were aligned and her breasts were pressed against his chest.

He heard her moan within their intertwined lips, indicating to him she was enjoying it. Just as she was getting into the kiss, he pulled back.

Her shocked expression filled with longing and desire was just what he wanted to see. He acted sheepishly, scratched the back of his head, "I'm sorry, I got caught in the moment there. I hope I wasn't too forward."

She softly whispered, "You weren't."

Dio leaned forward once again, until his lips were hovering just next to her ear, sending delightful shivers up and down her spine.

Kali drew in a shaky breath and closed her eyes as she felt his lips caressing the sensitive skin behind her ear. A needy sigh escaped her lips as he bent down and planted a searing kiss onto the pulse point on her neck.

"So sensitive." he whispered, his voice barely audible as he continued to kiss a trail down from her neck to her shoulder before nipping gently at the delicate skin, deliciously firing up her nerves.

"Uhh…" she managed to make a sound, feeling an overwhelming heat envelop her as he continued to kiss and nip gently at her neck, succeeding in making her lose all sense of coherent speech altogether.

"So soft…" came a heated whisper as Dio finally moved from the neck down to her collarbone by tilting her back, kissing another trail along it as her hands slowly pressed themselves against his firm back, feeling the muscles ripple under the smooth skin.

Kali was barely able to restrain a wanton moan as his lips began to travel downwards, leaving another hot trail of fiery kisses down from her throat towards her chest.

She gasped and clutched tightly at his shoulders when she felt him beginning to kiss her exposed cleavage. This time she didn't bother to stifle the moan that escaped her lips as she closed her eyes and entangled her fingers into his hair, shivering when she felt his body beginning to tense in growing arousal.

Her hand trailed down from his shoulders to softly caress the firm, toned muscles of his chest and stomach. He groaned at her touch and nipped at the delectable flesh of her breast not covered by the swimwear.

"You are so beautiful," he stopped and looked into her eyes, desire clearly visible in his golden eyes.

She pulled herself to him and caught his lips in a deep, sensual kiss, wrapping her legs around his waist. Dio responded by placing his hands on her bare cheeks and yanking her against him, so that she could feel his desire pressing against her stomach.

She opened her mouth, and he invaded with his tongue to engage in a brief battle of dominance with hers, which he clearly won. She closed her eyes tightly, her fingers digging into his back as she enjoyed his hands eagerly exploring her body, traveling from her cheeks to her smooth thighs and back up again, caressing their way up along the curve of her hips before gently cupping her breasts.

Kali arched against his touch, and whimpered, not knowing whether she wanted him to stop or continue. Dio, however, made the decision for her as he let go of her breasts and gently unwrapped her legs from his body, though he kept one hand on her waist, keeping her pressed against him while continuing to kiss her. After kissing her for a few more minutes he separated with one last tender kiss and tenderly looked into her eyes.

"I'm probably the luckiest creature alive by being allowed to bask in your beauty and to touch you and kiss you. Your beauty would put even Aphrodite to shame and your temptation would make hordes of angels fall. Thank you for allowing this poor creature to partake in your magnificence." he spoke, impassioned, with each word causing her to blush deeper and deeper until she was imitating a tomato.

"Th… Thank you for your kind words, D… Dio. I… enjoyed that and… wouldn't mind doing it again sometime." Kali suggested, biting her lip.

He smiled goofily at her suggestion and separated from her body. Kali swam around some more while Dio watched her. Soon she became hungry and climbed out of the pool to fetch a snack.

As she went inside, she didn't hear the blonde murmur, "Always leave them wanting more," with a devious smirk, before whipping that expression from his face.

The next few weeks passed pleasantly, with Kali now moving on from her tragedy, rebuilding herself. Diodora continued to fill gaps in her knowledge, both historical and current. She also continued to learn more about the current world, enough that she was confident that she could go out in it and not make a fool of herself.

However, Dio advised her to not leave the safety of anonymity yet. He told her that he had informed his uncle, Satan Beelzebub, about her and he had advised the same as the Old Satan faction was still strong and had many hidden agents both in the human and the underworld and could pose a threat to her. His advice was to learn more about the underworld, learn who all were trustworthy and wait for a prime opportunity to introduce herself to the world.

Kali didn't like the idea of hiding, but reluctantly agreed that it was the best approach. It also meant that she got to spend more time with Diodora, which made the ordeal easier.

Ever since the pool incident, Diodora had become more caring and charming and his every touch made Kali have butterflies in her stomach. His every kiss set her heartbeat racing and left her yearning for more, though he never went to the level of intimacy of that first kiss.

Kali had checked the internet to see if the rules of courtship, or 'dating' as they called it these days, had changed, and to her surprise she found that humans were much more forward and daring in their show of affection these days. It wasn't that big of a difference for Kali though, as the devil society had always been that way. So, she assumed that Dio was holding back only on her behalf, as she could attest that he desired her. She had, after all, felt the physical evidence of that everytime they 'made-out'.

Sighing, Kali continued browsing the internet in hopes of finding a way to reveal to Dio that she was ready for more.

Kali whipped her face and drank deeply from the water bottle, as she recovered from her exertion. She had just completed her physical training for the day, which started with a 5 mile run, followed by resistance training and ended with pilates and stretching to keep her limber and flexible.

Last week Dio had taken her with him on a hunt of a stray devil, which he had detected in the city closest to the mansion. While he had successfully hunted and killed the stray, Kali had come to realize that she was currently very weak and lacked any combat experience. If Dio hadn't saved her, the stray would have killed her.

She had promised to Dio, and herself, that she would train and get better. Thus, she had started working out since that day. Her devil physiology helped her progress and grow exponentially and only in a week's time she could already run for 5 miles in less than 30 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of resistance training where she was increasing the weights in every session and doing 20 minutes of pilates and stretches each to finish off.

Today, she planned to start adding magical training as well, which was very important to her, especially if she wanted to live upto the Valefor name. Her mother's family were renowned for their spellcasting and Kali didn't want to bring shame to her family by slacking off. Her sin wasn't sloth after all.

Having recovered, she took off her sweaty cropped top, leaving her in a neon pink sports bra and shorts. She also took off her shoes and socks and stepped in the lawn barefoot, feeling the soft blades of grass caressing the sole of her feet. She focused on the target Dio had installed just for her practice and summoned her demonic power. A purple magical circle appeared under her, showing the symbols of her two houses, the lion of Marbas and the two triangles of Valefor revolving around her.

Kali raised her hand and shot a blast of purple demonic energy at the target. She watched the energy ball rush towards the target and miss it by a couple of feet.

Kali growled in frustration and repeated her action, only this time she carefully took aim and let go. The blast hit the top edge of the target, sending a scattering of stone chips behind it. Satisfied with the result, Kali continued to blast it till the target was dust and moved onto the next target.

This time, instead of sending a concentrated blast of energy, Kali imagined smaller bullets launching from her hands. She suddenly shot her hands forward and a hail of purple colored demonic energy bullets raced towards the target, peppering its smooth stone surface with dents. Over the next few minutes she varied the power, quantum and speed of the bullets till she achieved her desired level of power and destruction.

She looked over the target to see the once smooth surface now completely chipped off and littered with burn spots. Imagining her power into a thin sharp blade, Kali launched one last attack by swiftly bringing her hand down. A scythe-like wave of her demonic power erupted from her, and surged like lightning towards the target, splitting it into two on impact.

Slow clap was heard from the mansion patio. Kali turned around, only to find Dio standing at the edge of the patio floor, applauding her with a dazzling smile of his face, "Impressive."

Kali blushed at the simple but honest praise and smiled fondly at the blonde.

He waved his hand at her and said, "Don't let me disturb you. Do continue."

The red eyed girl smiled and turned around to continue to practice, creating a barrage of blades with her power that decimated the targets on impact. Diodora was honestly impressed, and somewhat scared of her power. This was her first day of practicing and the amount of power she was casually throwing at the targets was astonishing, it would have tired him quickly, if he wasn't using his 'boost'. If he hadn't seen them with his own eyes, Diodora would have guessed that she was at least a four winged devil, if not six, not the two that she actually was. She had the potential to one day rival the four satans in terms of strength, he thought, smirking at the possibilities. It was a good thing that he had her under his complete control.

As he watched her turn her powers inwards to manipulate her appearance, he decided to act soon on the next part of his plans.
