Highschool DxD: The Prime Evil

by TalonAlpha3

"And the Evil that was once vanquished shall rise anew. Wrapped in the guise of man shall he walk amongst the innocent. And Terror shall consume they that dwell upon the Earth." Aidan Kain was just living a normal school life as a human with nightmares before being sucked into the Devil world as a pawn of Rias Gremory. What further adventures await for this Kuoh Academy student?

"Life is good," Aidan smiled and sighed.

But suddenly…

*FWOOM*

Aidan suddenly felt a cold presence behind him, making him gasp as he turns around to see a figure on the other side of the bridge at the school gate. And she was approaching him casually, seemingly without any intent to kill him.

She was a tall, beautiful, and slender woman with long, light blue hair, blue eyes, porcelain white skin color, and breasts roughly the size of Rias'. She wore an appearance of a general's apparel with long sleeves with buttons on the upper arms, a blue scarf on her neck, and high-heeled boots. She also has a tattoo on her chest, a symbol of the Angiris Council oddly enough.

She was shown to have a porcelain white skin. Along with that, her breasts were exaggeratedly bigger, almost like Grayfia's size.

Once the woman stopped by Aidan, the two stared at one another, as if they were old rivals meeting up for the first time in a lifetime.

"Something wrong, ma'am?" asked Aidan to the young woman approaching him.

"Ah, you must be the Dark Prince of Kuoh that everyone is talking about," The woman speaks up as if she was amused or pleasant to see him.

But Aidan sarcastically responds, "I'm pleased to make your acquaintance." He then asks in a serious tone, "Why are you here?"

The woman responded, "Why, for you!"

*SHIIINNG*

In that moment, the young woman unleashes an array of weapons in the form of blue light at Aidan. Aidan counters the same with his array in the form of red light, raising his right arm up in defense. Soon both Aidan and the woman were surrounded by each other's weapons, ready to impale one another. Small, bright blue crystals and dark torrents of energy surround the atmosphere, intensifying the encounter.

However, what was striking to Aidan was the weapons the woman conjured up, as they were the same as his. Hers however had a pure angelic essence to them, one Aidan had recognized as its very light countered with his darkness.

"Armiger… as the High Heavens' armaments!" Aidan had realized before he demandingly asks, "Who are you!?"

But the young woman smirks with her head lowered, her hat covering her eyes a bit. "Come now, Somnus. This is the second time we have met each other since we battled the Lord of Hatred."

Aidan soon realized who he was dealing with, gasping at the process.

"Sinestra!" Aidan understood and looked serious, gritting his teeth in the process.

"In the flesh," She confirmed as she raises her head with an amusing smile. "Here to see how well you have been doing. It is good to see you again… brother."

(Camera opens up to the gray sky as it pulls out when the song begins. In three quick-time images, it shows Aidan on a nearby cliff before he jumps off of it and summons his phantom horse Luna to ride on once the instruments start playing. As he rides off into the empty battlefield of Pandemonium before him, the rest of the nephalem; Alrik, Johanna, Li-Ming, and Kharazim; join in on their horses. The camera is pointed to their point of view as they ride off before it zooms right past them to showcase the Pandemonium Fortress in the distance.)

---

Both Aidan and Sinestra stare at one another with their Armiger drawn out and at each other's throats. The latter glared as the former smirked, amused at the current situation they were now in. The atmosphere was tense as the air quaked around them.

"I must say, I was impressed to see you conjure up your Armiger at the same time as me," Sinestra commented, almost mocking Aidan. "But careful timing is not enough."

"If you're here looking for a fight, Sinestra, then you've come to the right place to die," Aidan threatened, bring the tips of his phantom swords closer to her.

But the Angiris Apostle mockingly looked hurt, keeping up her smirk. "Oh, dear. What an awful thing to say to your own flesh and blood."

*SHIING*

Two swords were soon drawn and crossed just right in front of Sinestra's neck. But she looked only more amused.

Kiba and Xenovia appeared in that instant, the former holding his Holy Demonic Sword while the latter held Durandal. Aidan was surprised to see them appear so suddenly, not able to feel their presence at all.

"Don't you think this joke has gone on long enough?" asked Kiba, glaring at Sinestra.

"It would be unwise for us to let you pick a fight with the nephalem," said Xenovia with a scowl.

Just then, Asia ran over to them, worried about what was going on. "Aidan, what's going on?"

Aidan held out a hand to stop her, still glaring at the Angiris Apostle. "Stay back, Asia."

Sinestra did not even move, nor look intimidated. She sighs in annoyance as she looks at the two Knights, "Oh, please. Drop the false incredulity, you two. I know you're not that naïve."

*FWBOOM*

Just then, a wave of force emanating from Sinestra thrusts both Xenovia and Kiba back, making them hit the sides of the bridge. It was so sudden and out of nowhere that upon impact, they made cracks in the wall and air left their lungs immediately.

"Kiba! Xenovia!" Aidan called out, shocked at first before gazing furiously at Sinestra.

"Your hands were trembling," Sinestra said. "While I do not mind the boasting, arrogance breeds only negligence. Not knowing the difference between your opponent's strength is strong evidence. But between my brother Vali and I, there is a decisive difference in power. You, who could win against someone like Kokabiel yet could not win against Mephisto, will be of no match to me."

Aidan's eyes narrowed. He had not forgotten that fight on both occasions. While he did defeat Kokabiel after a long and arduous fight, his fight against Mephisto would not have been possible without the interference of the Angiris Apostle and the Vanishing Dragon.

After a moment of recovery, Xenovia and Kiba, with their weapons, walk over to Aidan with their swords as canes, apparently injured from the impact. Asia wastes no time healing them with her Twilight Healing rings while Aidan keeps his focus on Sinestra, their Armiger still conjured up against one another.

"Tell me something, Somnus," Sinestra said. "How much power do you think you have unlocked right now?" That question only puzzled the cursed nephalem but he kept his eyes on the sly woman. "Your Balance Breaker, though powerful, is incomplete. And it is because you are holding back your real power from being unleashed. Fear being the main reason."

Aidan merely stood at her, trying to decipher what she was saying.

"There are a lot of strong nephalem in this world. Even the Crimson Satan, Sirzechs Lucifer, would be no match for one such as you if you unleashed your true power."

"I choose not to, Sinestra," Aidan retorted. "Power is not everything."

"If that is the case then the first place is decided. A fixed existence."

"Your point?" Aidan asked with a scowl, done with the riddles at this point.

"Whoever is at the top is the alpha predator," Sinestra said. "And we are its prey through the Eternal Conflict. But I am not at the top and neither is my brother Vali, but our existence, including yours, is valuable."

Sinestra looks over her shoulder from behind to behold three other people.

"I am disappointed in you, Rias Gremory," Sinestra said. "You should have raised your nephalem well instead of hogging him for yourself. Or are you afraid to lose him again?"

Alongside Rias were Koneko and Akeno, both looking like they were getting ready to fight him. Rias merely stood with a displeased look. While on her way to meet Sona, she sensed that Aidan was in danger and called for the rest of her Peerage to rally to his location. And now, her boyfriend was here with his Armiger out on the Angiris Apostle, facing Sinestra who also held the same against him.

"Do you care to explain the meaning of this?" Rias demanded. "If you are here on behalf of the Fallen Angels, then I can tell you it's a huge waste of time!"

Sinestra merely chuckled. "Oh please. Drop the façade. It doesn't suit you when you are filled with fear in my presence." She then looks back to Aidan. "Tell me brother: did you know that the Welsh Dragon and the Vanishing Dragon are called the Two Heavenly Dragons? In the past, those related to them never lived happy lives." She then looks at Rias. "Similarly, you and I are meant for a similar rivalry, one more extreme and serious than just two beasts fighting one another in a contest of strength. Makes me wonder how it will turn out considering you two are now lovers."

Rias remained silent. Hearing her say those things must have left her unable to respond in a serious way.

Sinestra soon lowers her Armiger from Aidan. "But I didn't come all the way back here to fight you. I just came to watch over my brother Vali. He tends to wander off whenever he is bored."

Aidan soon lowers his Armiger begrudgingly but Sinestra takes advantage as she walks in Aidan's direction. They were then shoulder to shoulder, her head lowering as she smiled while the nephalem's lowered with a scowl.

"Fare thee well, dear brother," Sinestra said. "And safe travels."

And with that, the Angiris Apostle continued walking across the bridge.

Aidan, Asia, Kiba, and Xenovia turned around and watched him leave as Rias, Akeno, and Koneko walk over to join them. Even though Sinestra was leaving, a single thread of anxiety did not leave them.

Rias joined her boyfriend on his right side, holding his hand and interlocking fingers. Aidan felt the sweat of nervousness from her hand, so he rubs it off with the back of his thumb. Yet even still, Aidan was dreading about the near and upcoming future, especially with Sinestra involved.

---

A few hours later once the tensions had died down, Rias had he Occult Research Club meet in a different location that was new to Aidan; the school's swim pool.

Normally this pool would be crystal clean and blue, ready to be of use for exercise. But unfortunately, it was a revolting sight. The water had turned green with algae and gave off a horrid smell.

"What the hell happened?" asked Aidan.

"The pool hasn't been used since last year, so it needs a good cleaning," Akeno told him.

"And how are we the ones assigned to clean this?" asked Xenovia.

"Technically the Student Council is supposed to take care of it," Rias explained to the others. "But I thought it would be best if we showed them our gratitude for helping us against Kokabiel. On the plus side, after we finish cleaning it, the pol will be ours to use for the rest of the day."

Aidan could not help but smirk, realizing what comes next afterwards. "Well, what are we waiting for?"

BOYS LOCKER ROOM…

Only Aidan and Kiba were now in the boy's locker room changing. After Akeno used her magic to remove the foul water, all they had to do now was scrub the algae left over. And everyone had to change into their gym clothes for that.

But as they changed, Aidan felt something in his body that was unnatural. And this was not the first time this has happened. After the encounter with Sinestra, he had been coughing up a bit. He thought this was nothing and just simply something stuck in his throat. But in one instance during school where he had to use the bathroom, he coughed into the paper towel, only to see blood. It dreaded him thinking that something was not right. Not only that but his left arm was acting up again.

Cautiously, he was about to take off a piece of his red arm bandage to get a look at his arm. But the moment he lifted it up, he closed it back, though not before catching a small glimpse of how worse his condition is.

"Aidan," The nephalem turned to face Kiba, who had already unbuttoned his dress shirt and showed his tone and athletic body. "Can I ask you of something?"

"Of course, Kiba," Aidan said, while getting some small coughs along the way but keeping them contained. "What is it?"

"I wanted to find the right time to tell you," Kiba said. "I just want you to know that if anyone tries to hurt you, I will destroy them."

But Aidan felt that this declaration was not something so simple. So to get something more out of his honored brother, Aidan asks, "Explain what you mean."

"What I am trying to say is, thank you," Kiba said. "I am glad that you saved my life, reminding me of what I told you in your self-exile. I only wish to pay it back in time. If I can't, then I am unworthy of being called a Knight in the House of Gremory."

"I appreciate the gesture, Kiba, but I am not that helpless," Aidan said with a smile, which was actually a lie considering his coughing that he was desperately trying to contain. "You just be sure to take care of yourself too. After all…"

Kiba knew what came next and smiled. "You and I… we don't get to hide."

Aidan smiles as the two resume changing into their clothing. But that is when the coughs started to get more hefty for Aidan, making him hold up his fist to cover his mouth. Soon, his throat started to feel dry, like after taking a mouth full of cinnamon.

Aidan looks at his fist to see that there was blood.

"Aidan?" asked Kiba. "Are you okay?"

"It—COUGH COUGH." Aidan tries to keep it contained. "It's nothing. COUGH COUGH COUGH!"

But the coughs get worse and more hoarse and violent. Soon enough, as Aidan coughs more, he sees more blood in his hands, along with his mouth. This did not escape the eyes of Kiba, who looked shocked and gasped. Aidan's breath was also becoming ragged, as he was practically beginning to choke on his own blood.

But before either of the boys could speak, Aidan suddenly felt his legs give way and his vision turning black, Then, he felt himself leaning sideways.

*CRASH*

"Aidan? Aidan!" Kiba hurriedly runs to him and shakes him, but to no avail. However, he starts to hear breathing. It was small but audible.

"R…Ri…as…" Aidan could barely speak, as if he lost his voice and his throat was all dried up.

"What?" asked a worried Kiba as he brought his ear lower to him.

"Rias…" Aidan spoke, but it made Kiba understand whom Aidan needed. Picking Aidan up in his arms, he gently sets him down on the bench, lying on his side in a recovery position with one leg bent and the other used as a head rest for support.

"I'll be right back, Aidan," Kiba assured. "Just sit tight and don't move."

GIRLS' LOCKER ROOM…

Meanwhile in the girls locker room, the girls were changing into their gym clothes. Rias slips off her skirt and took off her shirt, wearing only her violet bra. Akeno slips on her white gym shirt, causing her breasts to bounce a little. Koneko pulls up her blue bloomers, before pilling to make sure her panties weren't showing.

Xenovia was also beginning to put on her gym clothes, as she stood before her locker wearing her white bra with blue accents and panties.

What all the girls didn't know was what had happened next door in the boys locker room.

"Hey, Asia, were you able to finish your homework for fourth period?" Xenovia asked the blonde.

"I did," She replied with a smile as she pulls down her shirt. "So how do you think you did on it?"

"I don't know. There were a lot of phrases I couldn't identify."

"Well, it was a tough one, so don't feel bad."

"I'm more acquainted with numbers. Word problems are a bit too complicated for me," Xenovia explained. "But it's no big deal. I can just stay up late tonight and go over all of it again."

"I'm sure God will be there right beside you, offering you strength and hope."

Even if the two former holy girls now know that God, or Anu, was killed by Malthael, it did not halt their faith in Him despite being told of extensive knowledge beyond the teachings of the Church.

"Thanks, you're right," Xenovia said. The two of them, as usual, began to pray. But upon saying the word Amen…

*BZZZ*

They grabbed their heads in pain instantly, feeling that headache.

Rias and Akeno giggle with a little amusement, right after being changed. 'You two better change it before it gets worse."

"Right…." Asia moans in despair and agony. "Sorry about that."

*BANG BANG BANG*

"Rias! Rias!" Kiba shouted from the other side of the locker room door, banging his fist on it.

By the sound of his voice it sounded bad. Rias opens the door and looked at Kiba, who was wearing his workout pants and a T-shirt. His face was one of distress, startling Rias.

"What's wrong?" asked Rias.

"Aidan… Aidan has collapsed, and he's coughing up blood."

---

In the boys locker room, Aidan laid on his side, still coughing up blood in his hands. But soon the doors opened as Rias immediately came to his side.

"Aidan?" She worriedly asked. "Aidan, can you hear me?"

She then gasps to see the blood decorating Aidan's teeth and his fist that he was coughing into. She also feels the intense heat radiating off of his head, indicating a high fever.

"Akeno, Koneko! Get me some wet towels now," Rias commanded. "Asia, your Braid!"

Akeno and Koneko went to get some towels for clean up while Asia brings out An'Naresh and wraps it around Aidan to try to at least make him feel better.

"What is this?" Xenovia saw the left arm bandage, grabbing onto the part Aidan took off.

Asia gasps, "No, Xenovia! Don't!"

But it was too late as Xenovia pulls on it, taking off the entire red bandage and beholding something that terrified her, her eyes widening in horror.

Aidan's arm was horribly mutated, resembling the Al'Diabolos Terror Claws. The black veins of corruption had spread all over him, right up to his collarbone. His fingernails were pointed sharp and his arm was a little bigger than usual. It resembled a Demon, likely that of Diablo.

Xenovia takes a couple of trembling steps back. Her entire body shook at the sight of such an abominable arm. Never in her life had she ever seen this before in all of her years as an Exorcist. It filled her with such extreme dread and fear. In the back of her mind, she wondered if her Master has ever seen something like this.

Just then, Akeno and Koneko enter the room with some towels. One was given to Rias to hold over Aidan's mouth as he coughs up blood while another was used to clean up the floor by Koneko. A third was placed on Aidan's forehead to cool off his fever.

After a couple of minutes of careful treatment, Aidan's feverish temperature starts to go down. His coughing was reduced to the point they were barely audible, and he was no longer coughing up any blood. Carefully, he was sat up with Rias' help as Asia uses An'Naresh around his left arm to at least slow down the corruption.

"Kiba," Rias called to her Knight as she stayed kneeling down besides Aidan. "When did this happen?"

"About a minute ago before you came in," Kiba informed her. "I didn't even see it coming."

"It's alright," Rias assured. "At least we managed to stop it in time before it got worse."

"…So, what happened?" Xenovia asked. "What caused this…mutation?"

"If I were to guess, I'd say it's due to strong power," Rias speculated.

"What do you mean?" asked Asia.

"We've already ran into some powerful people who emanate strong auras of power, enough to rival Aidan's. I fear if he keeps coming into contact with someone of a higher class, like Azazel or even the Angiris Apostle, it'll happen even if he doesn't allow it. Power cancels out power."

"But it can't be just those two, though," Koneko said after cleaning up.

Rias concurred. "Agreed. It must have been due to the fact that we battled Mephisto, given that Aidan has Diablo's soul in his Sacred Gear."

Aidan groans as he looks at his arm before looking at Rias. "What do we do now?"

"There's not much we can do about it at this point, I'm afraid," She told him, standing up and crossing her arms. "Akeno will have to suck the energy from your arm again and reduce the corruption."

Aidan turns his head to Akeno. "You don't mind, do you Akeno?"

"Of course, especially if it is for a handsome guy like you," She said with a sweet smile and a giggle Aidan nodded. But as for Rias, she could not help but feel extremely jealous.

As everyone else heads outside to clean up the pool from the algae with broomsticks, Aidan was being helped by Akeno reduce the corruption in his arm and revert it to normal. Rias could not help herself looking back at the closed door, feeling anxious and jealous. She had better hope no funny business was going on behind the scenes, or she was going to send Aidan in a world of hurt.

Luckily for her, she felt Aidan can keep control of himself. But for Akeno, she worries a lot.

LATER…

Akeno was on her knees sucking away Aidan's fingers while on her knees. Aidan manages to keep his moans contained as the corruption in his arm begins to subside. The pain was also ebbing away thanks to Akeno but he could not help but worry how much of a toll it would be taking on her.

Akeno soon removes her mouth from the fingers, with them being covered in her saliva. As Aidan gets a look at her, he could not help but worry why Akeno seemed normal after being told the truth of her family. Was she wearing a mask to conceal her pain, or did she grow out of it? No, it could not have been a latter. It had to be the former because there was no way someone like her, especially her, would get over the truth as shocking as to what she was told. Her father was trapped in Hell, her mother was dead, and all of it was conducted by the Demons of Mephisto.

He would have to ask her about it later, as he had begun to notice her sexual advances.

"How do you feel?" Akeno asked.

"Much better," Aidan said with relief. "Thank you."

"You look so got when being pleasured," Akeno said seductively, as he uses her fingers to play with Aidan's. "I'm just dying to know what you look like writhing in pain."

Aidan could not help but smirk a bit. "You always prefer the sadistic approach, don't you?"

Akeno giggles for a second. "Can I ask you something? How did sex with Rias feel?"

The blush on Aidan's face tripled. "W-What!?" He yelped, as Akeno gets on her feet and straddles him, leaning closer into him.

"I can tell by the way," She told him, smiling seductively with a blush of her own. She leans closer, placing her hands on his shoulders. "It wasn't that hard to tell how happy she was this morning before Sinestra came. I want to know how it was for you."

"It was… beautiful. For both of us," Aidan said after finding the words to say it.

"Is that so?" Akeno asked. "I really want to experience it. Doesn't this turn you on? Don't I turn you on, my dear nephalem? And the best part about it all is that no matter what we do in here, no one will see it. I want to know what it feels like to have my body ravished by a hot guy like you. We can finish up what we started in the clubroom that time right here and now."

This was full on flirting coming from the Priestess of Thunder to the nephalem. While Aidan did not deny that he wanted to ravish Akeno, his relationship with Rias was the red tape holding him back. And for a good reason. If she found out about this, he would be brutally punished. As her boyfriend, he should not be doing this. While normally he would be okay to take Akeno, he could not do so with Rias so nearby.

"It's okay…Somnus," Akeno said seductively. "Rias doesn't have to know."

Aidan could feel her large and juicy butt resting on his crotch, causing an erection from beneath his pants that was growing bigger by the second. She starts to lean in closer to him, as did Aidan. Their lips were about to touch.

"Will one of you like to explain what you are doing?" Rias asked with a displeased look.

Aidan freezes like ice and Akeno pushes herself away, making the two see the open doorway and the redhead glaring at the two.

"Rias!" Aidan exclaimed in shock.

Akeno merely giggled it off though. "I was just checking to make sure the corruption was subsiding," She lied with a sweet and innocent smile as usual. "You have no idea how long it took."

"And yet somehow, I do not believe that," Rias told her before glaring at Aidan. "Somnus, do you care to explain what is going on!?"

"Umm… well, uh…it isn't what it looks like for one thing," Aidan tries to say, only for Rias to angrily march over and pull on his right ear hard. "AAAAHHH!"

"So I wasn't seeing you get a chance the know Akeno on a more personal level?" She asked, not letting up on the torture and not buying his excuse.

"I just wanted to get the energy out and corruption gone! I swear!" Aidan exclaimed in agony. "OWOWOWOWOOW!"

Rias continues to glare at her boyfriend for a moment before she eventually lets go and starts walking out of the room. "Well as long as it is only that, then get back out here now!" She stated firmly.

Aidan quickly stood up and rushed after her. "Rias, wait!

*SLAM*

And just like that, the door slammed into Aidan's face. The nephalem sighs, knowing that he just made her mad unintentionally.

Akeno giggles. "Well, was that now the sweetest thing?" She asked with eyes closed and a hand over her smiling lips. "She got jealous and protective of you from me."

Again, Aidan sighs heavily with his head hung low.

"Oh, and Somnus," Akeno said, calling Aidan by his real name. "I'm glad that our relationship is going in a better direction. I can't wait for it to be my turn in the bed."

For the second time, Aidan sighs heavily with his head hung low. If this is what his future is going to be like with Akeno, then he best be ready because it may only get worse in a sort of good way.

---

When the pool was finally cleaned up and looking brand new, all that was left was to fill it back up with fresh chlorinated water.

Akeno was wearing a red and blue bikini, while standing on one of the pool's stone diving blocks. The Priestess of Thunder raises her hand to the sky and summons a magical circle, appearing right over the middle of the pool. from it, gallons of water like that of a waterfall fell and filled up the pool instantly.

Wearing a pair of black swim jammers that tightened his thighs, Aidan looked on in amazement, seeing the water stop at the right level.

"Aidan!" Rias called out to him as she walks to him.

Aidan turns his head to meet her, and the sight made him enraptured. She wore a new white bikini that seemed a little small for her, but it made her curvaceous body stand out. She did a sexy pose for him, leaning forward with her cleavage showing so much.

"Well?" Rias asked as she stood up, gaining her nephalem's blush. "How does my swimsuit look?"

With a smile, Aidan brought his hands to hers as the two share a romantic kiss. They were not shy of doing such a thing, even in public. While it made some people jealous, others did fawn over it.

"It makes you even more perfect," He said, making her smile.

"Ara, ara. You sure are fired up, Rias," Akeno said as she walked over to them, making the redhead pull away from Aidan and face her. "Ufufu, you really wanted to show your swimsuit to Aidan. By the way, Aidan, how does mine look?" She finishes the question with a pose of her own.

Aidan could not help but blush as he looks away embarrassingly, giving a sheepish smile. "You…look sexy in that."

That compliment earned him a short glaring glance from Rias before she stared back at Akeno.

"And I suppose you're only wearing yours to show off for yourself?" Rias questioned her Queen.

"Sure," Akeno replied with a smile.

"Hi, Aidan!" said the cheerful voice of Asia who walks alongside Koneko. Both of them were wearing their school swimsuits that hugged their bodies in all the right places. "I've changed into my school swimsuit as well."

"And you look really cute in it!" Aidan said with a grin. "It suits you well!"

"Ehehehe. I am happy that you said that," Asia giggled.

Aidan then looked at Koneko, who then offered a headpat. "You too, Koneko. You're looking great."

"…I honestly have no idea how to respond to that." Koneko said, with her back turned towards Aidan and looking away. "Better to have a nephalem's approval, I guess."

Complimenting all the girls in their swimsuits made Aidan realize that they were missing one other person. "Where's Xenovia?" He asked Asia.

"She had a little trouble putting on her swimsuit, and told me to go on without her," Asia answered.

Rias then places a hand on Koneko's shoulders and, while letting out a smile, asks, "Aidan, would you mind doing me a favor?"

"Of course."

"Are you ready, Koneko? It's okay to be nervous," Aidan said while in the water, holding Koneko's hands with hers.

"…I'm alright. I've just never tried this."

"That's why I'm here. Just hold on tight and I won't let go."

"…Okay."

"Alright. Let's start off slow."

While holding her hands, Aidan starts to walk backwards from the shallow end of the pool and slowly go to the deep end. Koneko laid flat in the water, using her legs to kick forward. Turns out that Koneko, for a cat-like girl, doesn't know how to swim and Rias wanted Aidan to be her instructor.

"Keep it up, Koneko-chan!" Asia cheered from the side. Turns out she could not swim either, so Aidan was going to help her out as well.

Koneko was taking small breaths in between with a "Puwa" sound, pedaling her feet with her utmost effort. Aidan soon loses ground given that he and Koneko were now in the deep end, the former treading water with his feet.

"Puwa! Senpai, I'm so sorry for making you help me out…" Koneko said in an apologetic manner.

"It's alright, Koneko," Aidan reassures her. "Learning how to swim is important the next time you go into water."

Aidan's back hits the wall yet Koneko didn't stop pedaling, making her collide with Aidan's chest. She then clings onto him like she was scared, given that they were now in the deep end and there was no ground to walk on. Luckily for him, Aidan kept them both up with his feet.

"You okay?" He asked.

"…Senpai, you're unexpectedly gentle," Koneko said in a shy way, with a blush over her face. "For a nephalem who is also a playboy."

Aidan chuckles and smirks. He then pats Koneko's head, to the cat-like girl's surprise. "You all have been with me longer than most. You helped me out in my moment of despair. And that's why you all hold a special place in my heart."

Koneko wasn't sure how to respond to that, but she leans her head into Aidan's liking the headpatting. And she smiles happily like a kitty cat.

*SPLASH*

Aidan and Koneko soon heard the sound of someone jumping into the water. Turning their heads to see, they saw Rias and Akeno having a race across the pool in the lap lanes. Both girls swam elegantly, yet competitively as they tried to overtake the lead from one another.

'To put it simply, a strong rival has appeared,' Rias thought, smirking confidently. 'And in the form of you of all people.'

Akeno was giggling a little. 'There is no stopping a heart in love for a handsome nephalem.'

'Even if we are best friends, I refuse to lose Aidan to you, Akeno. Because he is mine!'

'Let's do this fair and square, Rias.'

Aidan could not help but worry, thinking that this competition may get out of hand one way or another. But he decides to put that aside and turn to look at Asia, ushering for her to get in for her lesson.

LATER…

As the day of peace passes by, the Devils and the nephalem all had fun wherever they could in the pool. Though still a school day, they needed a break after all of the fighting that has happened as of late. And they deserved one, more than ever.

After about an hour of helping Asia swim and the group playing around, the young blonde was fast asleep on the vinyl sheet spread out on the poolside. Koneko was also by her under a shadow resting while reading a book.

Aidan and Rias were able to spend some quality time together in the pool as lovers. Nothing sexual happened with everyone present but they loved being in each other's arms. Rias was also a bit possessive lately, probably because of Akeno's antics.

As Aidan sat by his towel out in the sun, he was a bit exhausted. He never swam before yet quickly adapted to the techniques, even learning how to swim underwater. Though he is going to learn how to build up his lung muscles later on.

"Somnus~" Rias called out to him, lying on her back with her bikini top untied. She was looking at him over her left shoulder and holding a bottle of suntan lotion. "Would you help me rub lotion on my back?"

"Of course," Aidan responds as he gets up and walks over. Getting down on his knees, he squirts a few times in his hands before rubbing them to warm up the lotion.

Starting from her lower back, Aidan gently rubs the oil on Rias' bare back, the redhead letting off a moan. She had felt his hands many times during their love making last night but the feeling exhilarated her. As Aidan rubs the lotion, he decides to also give a massage, rubbing his lover's back soothingly and gently, yet with a firm amount of pressure.

"That feels so good~" Rias moans, before looking at him over her shoulder. With a seductive look, she turns over and exposes her bare breasts to him. "Would like to rub some on my chest too?"

He smiles at the prospect. "Of course. I'd be happy to. But you sure it is alright?" Aidan asked just to be safe.

Rias smiles with a nod. "It's alright. Just be careful though. My breasts are sensitive. Do a thorough job though, and I'll be sure to reward you."

Aidan nods but just as he was about to begin, something hit him from his back, and he felt to arms wrapped around his chest. An "Oro" was heard from a surprised Aidan.

"Whatcha doin'?" Akeno asked, with her bikini top gone as she presses her breast against Aidan's back shamelessly. "Is she the only one who gets a back rub with lotion?"

Akeno rests her chin on his shoulder as she inches herself closer to Aidan's face.

But Rias was not happy about that, especially when she saw Aidan blush.

"Akeno, that was highly inappropriate!" Rias stood up and looked at Akeno with fierce eyes of displeasure. While it left her exposed, that was the least of her concerns. "He hasn't finished with me yet!"

Akeno closed her eyes and smiles innocently. "I have an idea. Why don't you hand Aidan over to me for a bit?"

"Ridiculous!" Rias points at her. "I will never give my boyfriend away to you, and I am asking you one more time to back off!"

"Hey, Aidan. Remember when I asked you about you and Rias having sex together?" Akeno asked, making the nephalem blush as she turns his head to meet hers. "Remember how I told you I wanted to be ravished? Can you do that for me? If you want, you can fuck me for however long you like."

She then brings her tongue to Aidan's ear and licks it, right before she gives a light nibble. It caused the nephalem to groan a bit in pleasure.

*HYU BON*

Rias suddenly shot a blast of her crimson power and destroyed one of the diving blocks. Both Aidan and Akeno were surprised as they look up at her, seeing the redhaired woman projecting more power in the palm of her hand.

One thing was for certain: Aidan was in deep trouble. Already one day has passed since he consummated his relationship with Rias. But with his girlfriend now angry, he done did it badly.

"Akeno, I don't know what's gotten into you, but you've gone too far," Rias stated firmly, preparing her magic.

But Akeno wasn't going to back down and stood up. "I have most certainly not. But if you're refusing to back down, then I am fighting to win."

Akeno challenges her Master and best friend by raising a hand, with sparks of lightning cackling off of it.

Aidan did not want to get caught in the crossfire as he quickly warps away. The two girls, with their breasts exposed, attacked each other with glares. Well, except for Akeno who maintained her innocent look with eyes closed but one could consider it a glare.

*KABOOM*

Their cat fight began as the small explosion that caught the attention of all the Devils at the pool, even Kiba who popped out of the water to see what was going on.

"I'm not giving you Aidan!" Rias stated with her next attack at the ready.

But Akeno, with her lightning ready as well, responded, "You wouldn't let me play with him? Just a little?"

"I don't know why you would want to, considering the fact that you hate men," Rias said as she threw her blast at Akeno, who promptly dodges it.

"You're one to talk. You said that all men look the same and you can't possibly be interested," Akeno throws her attack.

"Aidan is special! He's mine and handsome!"

"Even for me Aidan is handsome! I finally met a man of whom I felt like that, so it should be tine to pass Aidan to me for just a bit and let me understand men, let alone nephalem!"

More explosions came from the cat fight occur like violent fireworks.

MEANWHILE…

Aidan was able to somehow warp away from the catfight and sneak away. Catching his breath, he sat by the door to the equipment room.

"Great…" He groans, closing his eyes and placing his back against the door. "Rias and Asia fighting over me was a hassle, but with Akeno now potentially in the mix, it's going to get worse before it gets better."

Just then, he spotted Xenovia out to his left, wearing a two-piece green and yellow swimsuit. While not erotic like Rias' and Akeno's, it did show off her body curves.

"Xenovia?" Aidan was a bit surprised to meet her.

"What are you doing here?" She asked. "And why does the outside seem a bit noisy?"

"It's better not to go to the pool at the moment, trust me," Aidan said as he stood up. "And where have you been?"

"It's my first swimsuit so it took me a while to put it on. Does it look good?" She asked while looking at herself.

"I think it suits you," Aidan said, taking a moment to admire her tight body, while at the same time shaking off any perverted thoughts of how sexy she was. "Let me guess: you've never went swimming before? Because of the Church's strict rules?"

"No," She denied. "I've just never been interested in recreational activities."

"I see."

Xenovia then changes the subject. "I've been doing some thinking, Aidan. And there is something I wanted to talk to you about."

"Go ahead," Aidan ushered. "If it's important and something I can help you with, I'm all ears."

"I'm glad to hear that, Aidan. Because… I would like to make a baby with you," Xenovia said.

Silence ensues for about ten seconds for Aidan to take in that statement.

"…Uh, what?" He asked.

Suddenly, he was grabbed by Xenovia and dragged into the equipment room, closing the door and locking it behind them. He didn't even bother to fight back, too busy trying to process what Xenovia wanted.

"Like I said, let's make a baby together," Xenovia said.

Aidan suddenly stutters, shocked beyond belief by the request of the newest Knight in the Peerage. "You would… ask me to make you pregnant…? Why?"

"It's all I could think about recently," Xenovia explained. "It used to be that serving God was my only dream. My every reason for living. But ow that has changed, and with it the dream has died. I already approached Rias for her thoughts on the matter and she told me that Devils are beings that possess, fulfill, award, and desire the one thing they all have: greed. That I must try living as I wish. So…"

'I guess that's a valuable lesson, but the timing could have been better,' Aidan thought in his head.

"I've decided that the life I want is one I never thought I have; the life of a woman. I want to bear your children. For that purpose, you need a man as well, but it's great, right? Children and the chance to get to know each other better."

"Uh… sure. But why me?" asked Aidan.

"I know that you are in a relationship with Rias, but as I watched you fight Kokabiel and Mephisto, I began to notice who you truly are as a nephalem. Your power exceeds even that of a dragon. I want my child to have that, even if it means being half-nephalem. They should have strong and powerful genes and a power to rival all others."

"You do realize that there are many other girls who would want the same thing, right?" Aidan asked. "Also, there is still a price on my head."

"Then it is fate that we are here alone together. It must be the will of God." She prayed and got another migraine before she began untying her bikini top. "Okay, let's get started. These things take a few months to grow." She drops her top as her breasts were exposed to Aidan. "I'm glad that you and Rias had sex. That means you can take over since I have no experience."

She then hugs the nephalem, pressing herself against him with her naked body. Aidan's instincts skyrocketed to the point he was barely holding back his urge to take her here and now.

"I can feel your desires. As a Devil, it's natural. But for a nephalem, you must want more. Please, touch me, master. I'll do anything you want, and you can do whatever you wish to me. I'll fulfill all of your sexual desires, just so long as you impregnate me. Take me now."

Luckily for him, he was saved. But not in a manner of salvation so to speak.

"Aidan, what is going on here?" Rias asked while standing at the opened doorway, exhausted and showing a forced smile. Aidan and Xenovia looked at her and saw the redhead's body covered by a thin lair of red demonic power. The former seemed scared, but the latter looked remote.

"Ara, ara. That's not fair, Xenovia," said Akeno, smiling with eyes closed as a dangerously scary aura surrounds her as well. "I already called first for sex with Aidan."

"Aidan, why? Why didn't you tell me that's what you wanted? I would've done it too!" Asia shouted while looking like she was going to cry.

"…Sucks to be you," Koneko said with half opened eyes. Thanks for the moral support.

"It's time to make a baby," said Xenovia with an oblivious expression. "Let's go, we don't have all day."

Hearing those words made the colors on all of the girls' faces change.

For the first time, Aidan felt real fear emanating from the opposite sex.

---

Some time after explaining everything to the girls and calming them all down, Aidan was able to leave to get some fresh air. Maybe a nap in the nurse's office would be best for him.

He enters through the door to the school nurse's office.

"Hello. How can I help you?" asked a female voice.

Aidan stopped when he saw who spoke to him, which was none other than Yubelluna. Her hair was in its usual long and wavy length, but she was also wearing a white lab coat, with a dress shirt that tightly held in her large breasts, a black mini skirt, and black high heels. Around her neck like any other nurse would have was a stethoscope, as she was looking at a clipboard.

Not being able to stop staring at her, Aidan had to admit that her figure looked good in that outfit, especially when she was looking at her clipboard. But her face turned to one of annoyance, probably because of presuming the visitor to be a student or staff ogling at her body.

Yet as she turns around to meet her presumed stalker, she was surprised to see Aidan.

"Aidan! What are you doing here?" Yubelluna asked.

"I could ask you the same thing, Yubelluna," Aidan said, closing the door to give them a bit of privacy. "What are you doing in the nurse's office?"

"I'm the school's new nurse," Yubelluna explained, placing the clipboard on the desk and getting up from her seat. "Since I wanted to help support my new master, Deckard had revealed to me that the school was missing a new nurse. So I took up the position."

"It suits you well," Aidan smiles. "With Karlamine working as a smith and Xuelan becoming a soon to be instructor at Ivgorod Yoga, I'd say being the school's nurse will help you greatly."

Yubelluna smiles as she walks up to the nephalem. She smirks seductively and traces his finger on his heart.

"Keep complimenting me like that, and the three of us may give you a night to remember." She whispered seductively in his left ear, making the nephalem blush as he wraps one arm around her waist.

Yubelluna reaches for the door behind Aidan with her right hand but not before she gives him a peck on the cheek.

"I'll see you later, master," The purple haired nurse said to him, moving past Aidan and exiting the office.

Once the door behind him closes up, Aidan sighs, feeling that now he was immensely tired. He needed a rest as he heads to one of the beds, ready to open the curtains and take a cat nap for a bit.

But just as Aidan opens the curtains for a nap, he was surprised to find someone on the bed, looking at his left arm.

"Issei?" Aidan was surprised to see the Red Dragon Emperor in bed.

"Aidan?" A surprised Issei saw as the nephalem enters. "What are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same question. You get injured somewhere?" asked Aidan.

"More like I wasn't feeling well, at least that's the official story," Issei said. "I just finished speaking to Ddraig about the Vanishing Dragon."

Aidan then takes his seat across Issei onto a chair. "I take it you met up with Vali?"

Issei's face turned a bit bitter. "I did this morning. Things got tense from that. And I already don't like the guy."

"I concur," Aidan said, making Issei look at him. "I met with his sister, Sinestra, near the school. Nearly started a fight that could have gone awry had she not backed off. What was your talk with Ddraig about?"

"Just a history lesson of how his fight with the White Dragon fight started," Issei said. "And of how they now inhabit their current forms at the moment. Apparently the dragons were the only species not to fight in the war."

"Typical of them," Aidan said. "Their loyalty is only to themselves and no other. Ddraig, are you there?"

[You need something, nephalem?] asked the Welsh Dragon as a green orb glowed from Issei's left hand.

"I just have one question that I need answering. How did you get that hole in your stomach by Diablo?"

But then, Ddraig went silent. He didn't answer immediately, which was unusual for a dragon of his caliber.

"Umm, Ddraig?" asked Issei in a bit of concern for his partner.

[Yes, partner?]

"You okay?"

[Sorry. It's just… getting that hole in my stomach has been a traumatizing nightmare of mine for a long time.]

"Why?" asked Issei. "What happened?"

[During the war, about a few days after I fought Albion again, I had ended up in Khanduras, near Tristram Cathedral. And from its ruined walls I could feel only…terror.]

The memories of that dark day begin to play back in Ddraig's mind. He was a little younger at the time, but he still looked mighty and powerful.

[When I had approached it, the temple suddenly flared up in power, a power that I had never seen before. And then, from its dark corridors, Diablo emerged. I had no idea who or what it was at the time, but he was already threatening enough to me. Soon the two of us battled but the fight quickly turned one-sided.]

"How so?" Issei asked.

[What seemed like we started off evenly in strength quickly turned into a slaughter. I underestimated Diablo's power, and for the first time, I felt real fear. And he feasted on it, drawing upon my fear to feed him his power. Soon, at the very climax of our fight… he tore a hole in my stomach.]

Ddraig recalls that moment clearly when Diablo's right claw punctured through the dragon, making the great beast bellow in pure horror and pain. Recalling it made the dragon quiver, as noted by Issei's arm shivering uncontrollably and not by his own will. Both of the boys noticed it and could not help but widen their eyes, seeing that as powerful as Ddraig was as the Red Dragon of Domination; Diablo, the Lord of Terror, was a lot more powerful.

[In the end, just as I was about to face my death, Albion, the Vanishing Dragon, rushed in and rescued me. Held me by his own claws and dragged me away to help heal my wounds. It was a bit relieving… but also an embarrassment when you suddenly owe one to your rival.]

"The Vanishing Dragon saved you?" asked Issei. "No way…"

"So why continue your fight if he was the one who saved your tail?" asked Aidan.

[Honestly, I had forgotten why we even started the fight in the first place.] Ddraig answered frankly. [Even Albion doesn't know. We've been fighting for so long, that the reason why was lost in time.]

Aidan could only wonder if Deckard Kain knew anything about the two Heavenly Dragons prior to meeting with Issei. With his Uncle as the Student Council's advisor, he'd be wise to help Issei with controlling and building up his power, along with giving some insight on the history of dragons within Sanctuary. Some time later, he best ask his Uncle about dragons and what the Horadrim knew of them, if they ever existed during the era the order was around.

---

The next day was the day of Open House. After walking to school with Rias, they kiss and parted ways to head to their classes. And just as soon as Aidan opens the door…

"AIDAN!" Matsuda and Motohama, friends of Issei, threw their fists at the transfer.

*BAM POW*

Faster than the eye could see, Aidan ducks under and punches them hard in their crotches, feeling something break within them. Both boys winced as the colors of their faces drained from them completely, making them fall to the floor lifeless.

Aidan gives a small sheepish smile. He knows why the two would go at him like that; it's all because he was dating Rias. And all the males believed he had stolen her from them with his greedy hands. Amateurs…

'Oops. Must've crushed their jewels a little too hard.'

Aidan ignores the two knocked out bodies on the floor and walks over to his desk, taking a moment to stop and look at the desk behind him. Fun fact, when he transferred over, Akeno sat behind him. Officially for her, she was moved to a different homeroom for reasons unknown, but it could have been because she was still traumatized of learning the truth of her parents.

Then again, it could've been Rias' doing for all he knew. She was pretty jealous with Akeno yesterday.

As he took his seat, Aidan saw Xenovia approaching him. In the short time that she has been transferred to Kuoh Academy, the former Exorcist had become quote popular among the boys just like Asia. Her beauty and physique made her popular among the girls as well.

"Xenovia, need me for something?" asked Aidan.

Xenovia lowers her head in response. "Y-Yeah. I'm sorry for the other day. I kept on pressing the topic without thinking about you."

The memory of Xenovia trying to get Aidan to impregnate her was still fresh in his mind. But luckily for him, Aidan can move past such events that would normally traumatize a man with no exual experience whatsoever.

"It's alright," He said. "But let's not talk about it here at school, okay?"

"Don't worry, I respect your relationship with Rias," Xenovia said, before reaching into her pocket. "That's why, for the sake of experience, we should use these."

What she then showed him was something round and rubber and used only for sexual activity, mainly for the men to wear to prevent impregnating a woman.

All of the class' eyes were gathered on the condom, wrapped in its packet.

Aidan looked deadpanned, but internally he was shocked. "Are you kidding me? Of all things to bring to a school, it's like you drowned yourself in eroges all of a sudden!"

After seeing that, the class was immediately noisy.

"Hi, you two," Asia said as she innocently approached the two. "What's wrong?"

Xenovia then hands the condom over to Asia. "Here, Asia. You should have one of these."

Asia had a questioning look as she stares at the small packet in her hand. But her best friend Kiryuu, perverted as she is, walks up to Asia and whispers into her ear about what it is and its purpose.

Asia soon blushes heavily until her head was purely red with swirling eye sockets. She then faints.

"Asia!" Aidan cried, catching the small blond in her arms. "First the Perverted Trio, now you Kiryuu? Of all people?"

With full interest, while shining her glasses to bring them up to her eyes, the erotic girl asked. "Will this be alright though? If you sleep with Rias, then Asia will—"

"Kiryuu~! Please stooooop!" Asia suddenly revived herself just to cover her friend's mouth.

Just then, the teacher walks in and has everyone sit down. Shortly afterwards, the parents of the kids walked in, greeting their children from the back of the room.

Aidan however felt no joy out of this Open House, mainly because his parents were not there. He had only seen them in his dreams and visions, but has never met them physically. The only parent he had was Uncle Deckard but even he was in a classroom doing his part as a professor.

Aidan could not help but wonder that if his parents really loved one another, would they want to meet him? Would they like his relationship with Rias? Would they be proud of his accomplishments?

Or more importantly, would they forgive him of his sins?

"Aidan?" The nephalem was snapped out of it to see Asia looking at him with a worried expression, while Xenovia looked curiously. "Are you okay?" Asia asked.

"Y-Yea, I'm fine. Sorry, I just spaced out for a moment," He responded.

They didn't question him any further and left to take their seats.

---

"On your desk is a lump of clay that you will use for your assignment to create a sculpture as original as you can make it," The teacher instructed with a smile on his face. "It has to be something meaningful. We all see life in situations differently; it's the same with everyday conversations we may have. We use the same words but it's our personal expression that defines the thought."

As the class started to work on their clay, being the amateurs that they were, Aidan looks at his lump with a somewhat pondering yet melancholic expression.

"Something meaningful, huh?" He asks himself. Looking around, he notices everyone had already started.

There were several ways he could approach this. He could fashion an Elder Angel, a Horadrim, a Demon, or maybe one of the famed nephalem heroes. Or he can fashion someone alive in the present like Uncle Deckard.

But as he puts his hands to the clay to start shaping it, his mind turned to Rias. Truth be told, a part of him could not let go of their date that night, of how they declared and shared their immense love for one another. He was someone meaningful to her. If it wasn't for her, he wouldn't be here now. She went through hell and back to save him from his own damnable choices. And she would do it all over again.

Most of all, they loved one another. And neither intend to let go of one another.

But little did Aidan know that one minute he had a lump of clay, but the next was shocking.

"Aidan?" asked the surprised teacher, looking at what he had just made.

"Huh?" Aidan looked before his eyes widened to see what he had seen.

What was once a lump of clay, it was suddenly formed to fashion Rias, perfectly made to the even the tiniest of detail. The statue of fully clothed of course, but in a beautiful dress that may resemble her as some sort of goddess. She had a smile on her face with arms extended below and outwards, like she was inviting someone into her warmth.

If this was something Aidan found meaningful to him in life, then he has no regrets. The way he looked at Rias, it wasn't because she was a Devil or that she was his master or his lover. It was just Rias. A normal girl that made him smile every time he saw her.

His heart fluttered at the sight of it, relishing in the warmth.

"It's a gray Rias," One of the female classmates stared in shock.

"It's amazing," Another said. "It looks just like her."

The teacher came over to Aidan. "Aidan, you've been holding out on us. I didn't realize that we had a sculptor in the class. Maybe we can put your talents to use in the future to come."

"Y-Yeah..." Aidan sheepishly smiles. He continues looking at the statue, mesmerized by what he had just made.

LATER...

"It's absolutely beautiful," Rias smiled as she looks at the sculpture of herself, tracing the face of it. But that wasn't the only thing she had in mind. "I made one of you too."

Aidan was surprised. "Really?"

Rias then pulls out a clay sculpture of Aidan, who seemed to be dressed in something of a kingly garment. He sat on some sort of decorated stone throne, with his head leaning towards his right fist as a head rest for him to sleep. His eyes were closed yet he seemed to be sleeping in peace. He wore a suit with thin stripes and a cape. He wore a knee guard on his right leg and shoes. On the right side of his head was a hornlike crown, held behind his ear.

Aidan looks at the sculpture. "That is so...amazing. How did you manage to do this?"

Rias smiles with a shrug. "Perhaps in the same way as you did. Allowing my imagination to take hold."

Aidan accepts that answer. "I love it, Rias. I truly do."

"Ara ara, well I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you're always with Rias, right?" Akeno asked with a chuckle and a hand on her face. "You know, I would love it if you made one of me too."

Blushing slightly, Aidan rubs the back of his head. "Really?"

"I want it to be extremely accurate," Akeno grinned with a small blush. "You may touch me to learn my curves."

Aidan, playing along with her antics, asks, "When do we start?"

"No way!" Rias pushes the two away from one another before she clings onto her boyfriend, puffing her cheeks out of jealousy. She must still feel a little ticked from the pool incident the other day. Who could blame her though?

Akeno however loved a competition as she merely giggles seeing her best friend's jealousy and obsession.

---

Lunch break came for Aidan, yet oddly enough, he preferred to be alone just for today. He had a lot on his mind to think about regarding his parents considering Open House was today. While Asia and Xenvoia were at first concerned, they nonetheless respected his decision and let him be.

The solitude helped Aidan relax for a bit, enjoying the quiet atmosphere. No Perverted Trio to hunt him down, no Kendo Girls chasing the Trio for their peeping, no Demon even coming up to kill him.

It was all perfect, if not a bit unnerving.

Then again, this was nothing new for Aidan. He has been on adventures with his Uncle for much of his childhood life, always getting themselves into all kinds of dangerous situations. Rarely though did they encounter any Demons or other dangers of a sort.

As Aidan finishes his lunch and heads back, he caught something in his eye of a figure. Standing a couple meters away was a beautiful lady that looked to be in her late teens, with black hair tied into twin tails and violet eyes. Despite looking like a tee, she had a childlike body, albeit with large breasts and hips that could turn any man's eyes.

But the real eye catcher was her clothing, cosplaying an anime character named Mil Kiss from the anime Magical Girl Milky Spiral Seven. And with her hair color and body, she looked exactly like the character. The outfit consisted of a short pink skirt, a sleeveless pink crop top, black fingerless gloves that went up to her shoulders, a pink hat, black thigh high socks with pink stripes, and boots. She also carried a pink staff that had a star on top.

Aidan heard of that magical girl anime show, but was never interested in it.

The girl looked around, as if looking for something, but failed to notice Aidan standing a few feet away. If she was here for Open House, then she looked lost or was looking for someone.

"I'm sorry…" Aidan said. "Are you lost?"

The girl turns her head towards him to see the voice and stopped when she saw Aidan.

"It's really you~!" The magical girl squeals happily, throwing her hands up, and then running towards him. Aidan was a little taken back by her sudden positivity and took one step back as she stops in front of him. "This is so cool, meeting a nephalem for the first time! Well, then again, my best friend is a nephalem!"

"What did you say?" Aidan asked in panic, seeing his real identity compromised as he was ready to bring out his Armiger.

"No, please," the girl pleaded, with her happy face quickly turning into a sad one. Even comical tears appeared from the corner of her eyes. "I didn't mean to upset you. I'm not going to hurt you."

"I find that hard to believe!" Aidan scowled despite sensing no killing intent from her. But then another voice cropped up.

"It's okay, Aidan," A female voice spoke up, making Aidan and the girl turn around to see Li-Ming. "She's a friendly one."

"Li-Ming?" asked Aidan, seeing the Rebellious Wizard in her teacher outfit which was nothing more than a Western formal attire comprise of a yellow-green shirt, covered by purple suit and purple pants. It left the suit unbuttoned, allowing a generous portion of her cleavage to flex out. She also wore a pair of glasses.

"It's okay, and you can trust me!' The beautiful girl bounced back into her normal happy mood. "I'm the Devil King, Serafall Leviathan!" Serafall did a quick spin and struck a pose, giving Aidan a cute ink and a peace sign between her left eye. "But you can call me Little Levi~! Just like how Li-Ming does!" She sticks her tongue out.

Aidan looked a bit stunned, turning to his fellow nephalem to his left. "Hey, what is up with this…little squirrel?"

That might have been the wrong move as Serafall looked immediately insulted. Immediately her hair flares up and a cross pop vein appeared, much to the shock of Li-Ming who started to sweat.

"What'd you say?!" Serafall yelled. "That's it! You are going to—"

"Now, now…" Li-Ming gets in front to shield her away with a sheepish expression. "That was probably a joke. If you get upset at every little thing, there will be no end to it."

But Serafall could only pout with puffy cheeks like a child.

"Sorry about that," Li-Ming said. "But Serafall was always a childish one. For about as long as I can remember."

"I take it you two are close friends?" asked Aidan.

"Very much so," Li-Ming then pats the comical Serafall's head. "We have worked together for quite some time and I had taught her a few things of magic that she never knew of. So technically, that makes her my student. Or at least one of them."

While Aidan was not so clear on the whole cute pose for one of the Four Great Satans being a magical girl cosplayer, he nonetheless agreed that for someone of her position, she held great power.

After being head patted by her best friend, Serafall returned to her normal persona.

"Now, Serafall…" Li-Ming said. "Were you here for the Open House?"

Serafall stopped and put a finger to her lips and looked up at the sky. Even when thinking, she made it look cute. Then she snaps her fingers when she remembered why she was here.

"That's right~! I am here for my sister!" Serafall chirped and jumped up, making her breasts bounce.

"Sister?" asked a confused Aidan. "But who is—"

"Holy crap!" said someone to their right. They looked and saw a few students staring at Serafall with a blush and perverted looks. "Is that a Magical Girl, Mil Kiss Viral 7 alternative cosplay?!"

Serafall struck a pose. "Yes it is~! You want a picture?" She asked them.

LATER…

Cameras were flashing off from everyone's phones as they all took pictures of Serafall in her magical girl cosplay.

Aidan was standing a few feet behind the same group of guys with cameras, which then turned into a massive crowd. Each one of them shot after shot of Serafall, who was standing at the front of the stage posing for them.

"This is…ridiculous," He muttered to Li-Ming next to her. Serafall then did a pose which caused her short skirt to show a bit of her panties, making the photographers go nuts.

"Think of it like camouflage," Li-Ming said. "You don't want to scare the prey."

"Then we need to find bigger prey," Aidan countered, making Li-Ming chuckle.

Suddenly, Saji came jumping onto the stage.

"Alright, guys! Knock it off!" He demanded to the crowd, standing in front of Serafall and shielding her from the cameras like he were her bodyguard. "We're still on school property and don't need this kind of commotion on the day of Open House! Now get out of here!"

The young men leave reluctantly due to Saji's pushing and threats, but were gone in a relatively short period of time. All that were left were Aidan, Li-Ming, Serafall, and Saji.

"Okay, are you related to anyone at this school?" Saji asked Serafall, unaware she was one of the Four Great Satans. Serafall nods with a smile. "Well, they should've told you that this sort of outfit is unacceptable."

Serafall responds by waving her staff up. "Sparkle shine, your command is mine~!" She said cheerfully and posed, pointing her staff at him. She winks and gives a peace sign.

Saji could only sigh as Aidan and Li-Ming walk upstage to meet with him.

"I don't think she intends to stop any time soon, Saji," Aidan said.

"She always was the wild one. Reminds me of my younger self back in the day," Li-Ming concurred.

Just then, the doors to the gym open up, and the silhouette of Sona Sitri stood against the shining light form outside.

"Saji, what is going on here?" She demanded sternly.

"I finally found you, Sona~!" Serafall exclaimed happily when she saw the Sitri heir.

But Sona stops and flinches at the sight of the cosplay girl, with a few strands of her hair sticking out of place of her perfect bob cut. She could only watch as Serafall jumps off stage and runs toward her.

"I'm so happy to see you~!" She chirped and clung to the Student Council President, which for some reason made Sona very uncomfortable. Serafall lets go of Sona. "What's the matter? You look sad. Aren't you happy to see your big sister again?"

Aidan blinked a couple of times and sweat drop. Now he could see why Serafall was here, as their resemblance looked eerily familiar. But there was something that stood out to him.

"She's the older sister?" Aidan asked Li-Ming.

"That's right," Li-Ming nodded in confirmation. "And a very curious one. I always told her that her curiosity will be the death of her one day."

"I'm going to need more happiness from you. Come on!" Serafall whined, before hugging herself. "You should be telling me how much you missed me, and I would say 'Sona, I've missed you too'—" She then started bouncing on her heels, making her breasts jiggle. "—and then I would give you a big fat kiss, and you'd kiss me back and that would lead to a girl-on-girl action and wouldn't that be hot?"

Sona sweated.

"You're right," Aidan told Li-Ming. "Her curiosity will be the death of her. And again, she is the oldest?"

"That she is." Aidan looked to his right to see Rias, Akeno, and Asia walk over and stand next to him. "I see you've met the Lady Serafall Leviathan."

"More like I just met the world's smallest squirrel," Aidan said sarcastically. "Had no idea this would be her."

"I heard that Lady Leviathan likes to watch some of the battles her sister fights in," Saji said as he joined the group. "I didn't recognize her since this is the first time I've met her."

Rias walks up behind Serafall. "It's been a long time, Lady Leviathan," She bows to the Great Satan.

"Oh yes it has, Rias," She said to the redhead.

"I do hope my boyfriend was able to assist you in any way he could," Rias smiles with eyes closed, gesturing back to Aidan.

"He's what?!" Serafall pouts cutely. "You and him are dating? No fair! I still don't have a boyfriend and I really like him! He wanted to help me because I had to find out about Open House on my own, all because Sona's such a meanie. If he didn't come, I would have attacked Heaven out of frustration."

Aidan merely stares back deadpanned. If the Lower Heavens were ever attacked, then the High Heavens would have in turn been alerted and could potentially wipe out all Devilkind.

Sona's face was completely red with embarrassment by her elder sister. "…Listen. This is my school and I am entrusted with the job as the Student Council President here," She said with an unsatisfied and stern expression, her eyes twitching. "No matter how closely related we are, this is inappropriate school attire, and you are going to have to change!"

"Why do you have to be like that? Do you hear the tone of your voice right now? You're borderline violent!" Serafall wines like a child. "You know I don't ask for much. All I want is to be a Magical Girl. With my sparkling staff, I'll erase all Angels and Fallen Angels~!" She chiprs with a cute pose.

"Do you have any respect at all!?" Sona snaps. "If you start sparkling, you could annihilate a small country in minutes!"

"Are the two…not on good terms?" Aidan asks Akeno.

"Quite the opposite actually," said Akeno, smiling with eyes closed as usual. "The problem is that Lady Serafall loves her sister a little too much. Some would say she is obsessed."

Aidan listens carefully as he watches Serafall move all around Sona, talking about being a Magical Girl and destroying the Angels and Fallen Angels. This only made Sona more upset and embarrassed.

"If Sona ever called her sister for help, things could've gotten out of control and we could have another war on our hands," Akeno said.

And just then, the clam and composed Sona broke into tears. "Ahh, MOU! I can't take it anymore!" She cried and ran away sobbing.

"Sona wait! Don't leave me!" Serafall desperately calls out to her sister and runs behind her, making Saji chase after them in the process.

Asia smiles sheepishly and sweats a little. "Saji's heading for a rough time, isn't he?"

"While it isn't my place to say it, yes he is," Rias states with a look of understanding. "All members of the Four Great Satans are like this. High strung and excitable. It can be exhausting."

Aidan then asks Li-Ming, "How did you ever put up with her in your years of friendship?"

But Li-Ming bluntly answers, "I didn't."

---

At the end of the day, as students met up with either their parents to head home or with their friends, Aidan and Rias walked hand in hand towards the entrance with Asia and Akeno.

"Ah, there they are," said a voice. When Rias looked towards the direction the voice came from, she stopped abruptly and took her hand away from Aidan's. Aidan initially felt surprised at first before he saw the man in front of him, wearing a white tuxedo and having that trademark red hair.

"Greetings, father," Rias greeted him, as the man stopped a few feet away. Aidan was surprised to see that man being her father despite his appearance looking like another older brother.

If he was here though, then it meant he was not just here for the Open House. He was also here to meet Aidan face to face, the boyfriend of her daughter. The thought of that filled Aidan with fear, but not because of potential disapproval from Rias' father but rather of his actions he committed when he broke the engagement between Rias and Riser months ago.

He didn't show it on his face, but his heart pounded faster than usual with dread, seeing the father of the woman he loves most. Was he going to pass judgment onto him for what he did? Perhaps secretly hate him for tarnishing the wedding and severely damaging both the Gremory and Phenex families?

Before he could even take a step back, though, Rias' father spotted him and smiled.

"It's good to finally meet you, Aidan Kain. I am Zeoticus Gremory," The father greeted to him. "I must say that when I heard that Rias had a boyfriend, I was worried, but then my heart was quickly relieved when I learned that it was you."

"Father!" Rias exclaimed with an embarrassing blush. "This isn't the place to talk about something like that!"

"Then you don't mind if I, Sirzechs, and Grayfia will come over for dinner for tonight?" Zeoticus asked with a smile that sounded like no ill intentions were behind it. Aidan was not too sure though. Rias gasped, however. "It's only fitting for a father to meet his daughter's boyfriend properly, especially if that boyfriend is the son of Aurelia."

Now it was Aidan's turn to gasp. Zeoticus had just mentioned his angelic mother's name. Did that mean he knew her? If he did, would he use her as some sort of loose justification for his potential threats.

Composing himself, he clears his throat and says, "Well I—"

"I think it is a wonderful idea," An elderly voice spoke from the side, revealing it to be Deckard Kain, wearing his professor outfit which consisted of a brown suit.

"Uncle?!" Aidan was surprised, walking up to the old man. "I-I thought you were—"

"Bedridden?" asked Deckard. "I am quite well and alive, Aidan. Thanks to Zeoticus and his servants."

"Deckard!" Zeoticus greets the elder. "I didn't think you'd come. Here for Open House?"

"I have been away from school for a bit too long, so this old man here needs to get back to work. Plus the house needs cleaning."

"Splendid," Zeoticus claps his hands together. He then turns around to face the group. "Deckard and I are going to chat a bit more in private. I'll see you tonight, Aidan."

The group stood there for a moment in silence, until both men were out of sight, talking and laughing with one another.

"…Well, crap," Aidan said. "First your father shows up, Rias, and now Uncle Deckard. I knew this was going to happen sooner or later, but I wasn't ready for it."

A familiar voice from behind them soon laughed.

"Looks like dinner is going to be interesting," Sirzechs said as he walks down the stairs near them.

"Why are you laughing?" Rias demanded with her hands on her hips.

Sirzechs stopped a couple of steps from the bottom and smiled. "It looks like it's going to be another lumber party at the residence."

Aidan sighs heavily. His home won't be big enough for everyone at this point. There just isn't enough beds or bathrooms.

---

LATER…

Later as dusk fell, Aidan set down the last set of food onto the table in the living room, which was in the form of a large, cooked, red fish that was scored and cut into several pieces that were different. All the bones were picked and cleaned off. Also on the table were various other dishes. Plates were served for the guests along with four more plates filled with other cuisines for the Gremory family to pick from.

"Dinner is served," He announced. "Bon Appetit."

With assistance from his three maids, Aidan cooked all of the food. Since the dining table was too small, dinner had to be taken place in the living area. Zeoticus sat on one of the sofas, while Aidan sat down with Rias on the other. Sirzechs, Deckard Kain, and Asia also sat at table in the living room, watching the trio speak. Aidan's maids stood at the side of the sofas while Grayfia was in the kitchen cleaning up dishes.

"This all looks splendid," Zeoticus commented.

"Thank you," A flattered Aidan said. "I was not sure what counted as noble food in the Underworld, so I used what dishes I learned when I was in Westmarch and in Caldeum with Uncle Deckard. I'm sorry if this is not what you are used to."

Xuelan walked over with a bottle of water and Karlamine followed behind with cups. Xuelan carried a bottle of sake and small cups for Zeoticus and Sirzechs.

"Fear not, Aidan Kain," Rias father waved a dismissive hand while holding a fork. The maids then serve water to everyone while Zeoticus and Sirzechs were served sake. "I like to think of our House being nothing but adaptable. And you said you visited Westmarch and Caldeum before? That's amazing!"

"You are surprised, sir?" asked Aidan.

"I always wanted to visit Caldeum and I have heard stories of Westmarch from your Uncle," Zeoticus revealed. "The Jewel of the East. The greatest empire in all of Kehjistan, and even maybe the grandest city on Earth."

Deckard, Asia, and Sirzechs watch the three eat happily and smile. "It appears they are getting along very nicely," Uncle Deckard said with a smile of relief.

"Here I thought it wasn't going to go well," Asia said sheepishly.

"So, how did you meet my daughter, Aidan Kain?" Zeoticus asked, as if starting the real topic of the evening. "I know that she revived you after you were attacked, but was that it?"

Aidan swallowed a piece of fish before answering. "Well, when my Uncle and I came into this town, Uncle Deckard and I decided to transfer into this school. With his permission, I was able to gain access to the library the Student Council only had access to, a library containing all the knowledge and mythologies that the Devils knew. I was nearly caught by the Council but managed to escape. Rias heard of it and became interested since then."

"Fascinating," Zeoticus said before turning over to his friend Deckard. "And just why did you send him to that library, Deckard?"

"I was seeking answers to a prophecy that the Zakarum texts described as the End of Days," Deckard said after wiping his mouth. "I could not do it due to my duties as a teacher, so I decided to send my nephew in, knowing of how fast and clever he is when sneaking around."

Sirzechs closes his eyes in understanding. "Well, at least I am glad there were no ill intentions behind it." He then opens them and turns to Aidan. "Oh, and if you are worried about me being unaccepting of you, then you have nothing to worry about. I am glad that Rias has decided to enter into a relationship with you."

Aidan was surprised. While a part of him felt relieved to hear that, a majority of him felt concerned. It made him lower his head a bit, showcasing shame. But Zeoticus noticed this, much to the nephalem's misfortune.

"You do not trust my word for it?" asked Zeoticus.

"It's just…" Aidan said. "When last you saw me, I did something unforgivable. But I only—"

"I do not blame you for it," Zeoticus said seriously, catching Aidan's surprised attention. "Any normal Devil would have been severely punished, but when I later learned the truth, I could only feel sympathy. And when I later learned that you were Aurelia's son, my sympathy changed into a need of compassion for you, seeing that the son of a friend of the family had become something he never wished to be. So no worries, my boy. I could never blame you. And if any other houses intend to kill you, I won't let them."

Aidan was surprised to hear that. He thought that Zeoticus would disapprove of him, harshly reminding him of the damage he had caused to the Gremory Family and the Phenex Family. So to hear him say that he does not blame the nephalem was a huge surprise. Sirzechs did not blame him for the Terror Unleashed which was understandable. But now even Zeoticus forgives him.

And more importantly, he had mentioned Aurelia's name.

"If I may ask, sir, how much do you know about my mother?" asked Aidan.

Zeoticus stopped eating, as if remembering something as he places his fork down. "Your mother, Aurelia? She was…captivatingly beautiful. Her gentle smile always eased my heart, and you could say that a part of me had fallen in love with her. She understood the nature of Devils and our culture. It was she that convinced our family to care for our servants like they were a part of us. I found her to be…magnificent. Even my own wife became a close friend to her for many years."

Zeoticus' mind flashes to the days when Aurelia was around, in disguise as a servant.

"When she disappeared, it almost tore the family apart. I had to comfort my wife just as Sirzechs here comforted his due to her suddenly leaving out of the blue. I had heard no word since then. And when I later learned that I would have the chance to meet her son in the flesh, who was founded by the Last Horadrim abandoned in an alleyway, I thought I would take it upon myself to honor her legacy in any way that I can."

Aidan was once again surprised. "And what way would that be if I may ask?"

"That I would look after you, my boy, and treat you like I treat my son and daughter: as one of my children. I understand that you never had a father and you are not sure who or where he is, but if you ever need any help or some form of comfort, please come to me. You are the living legacy of an Elder Angel that I had loved as a friend. And more importantly, you are the beloved boyfriend to my cute daughter Rias. And I approve of it."

That shook Aidan's heart a bit. Zeoticus wanted him to look at him as a father that he had never had in his life. Aidan felt conflicted at first, turning his head to Uncle Deckard, who was the father figure for much of his life. Bu the old man simply nods, as does Sirzechs who smiles and does the same. Aidan was surprised, having seen his demonic father in a vision twice now yet never seeing him in person. He was not sure if he was dead, but he was not sure if he was alive either, the same for his mother.

Calming his heart and taking Rias' hand gently into his which she responds back, he takes a deep breath.

"Thank you, sir," Aidan bows his head. "That is a relief to hear. But, how did you know that Rias and I are in a relationship?"

"I didn't. But I do now, even to the point where you…comingled."

Aidan and Rias gasped in shock and with a little bit of fright.

But Zeoticus laughs while drinking sake. "Hahaha! Paying attention to a daughter's blossoming is a parent's duty, after all! I am seriously considering you and Rias to be married in the future!"

Rias' face turns red with embarrassment and begs quietly, "Someone please end this."

HOURS LATER…

Unfortunately for Rias, it didn't end for her and it only became worse.

"Look there! Our little Rias is raising her hand and answering the teacher's question!" Sirzechs commented, pointing at the TV as a video showed Rias in her homeroom during the Open House event.

"Aw~ look at you!" Zeoticus was also drunk. "That is my baby daughter right there!" Zeoticus and Sirzechs laughed out loud.

"This is… a hell, the likes of which I have never seen before…." Rias was shaking her whole body while blushing to the maximum limit. And then, when she could no longer take it, the redhead covered her face with her hands. "Ahh Mou! I can't bear it! Onii-sama and Father, you big jerks!"

And just like that, she ran away.

*SUPAN*

Sirzechs was knocked out by Grayfia hitting him with a paper fan.

*DONK*

And Zeoticus was knocked out on top of the head by Deckard Kain's staff, making him fall to the floor comically.

---

As for Aidan, he ran in the direction where Rias was before finding her sitting in front of his room in a dark hallway, wrapped up in a ball where she hugged her legs to her chest. She was puffing her cheeks in displeasure.

"Come on," Aidan said with a sympathetic smile. "Let's head into my room."

Rias nodded without any words and heads right in. Once she does, she jumps onto the bed flat on her stomach, her face lying in the pillow as Aidan closes the door and sits down by the bed. The lights were turned off with only the moon shining bright through.

"Hey, Somnus," Rias muffled through the pillow. "…Can I ask you something?"

"Of course."

"…Are you happy to have met me?"

That was a question Aidan would have never to have heard coming from his master and girlfriend.

Before he could answer though, she continued. "I'm happy to have met you, Somnus. I truly am. A life without you is a life I do not want. I love you will all my heart, and I don't intend to change that."

"But?" Aidan asked, believing there was more.

"There will be those that would never accept us, especially you for what had happened even if you were not at fault. And I still need to think about my family. But at the same time… I don't want to lose you ever again."

As tempting as Aidan wanted to just snuggle up with her and comfort her to ease her heart, he refrains and just simply grabs her left hand with his right. She feels it and grabs onto it, squeezing it as if not wanting to let go of it.

"I do not want to lose you again as well, Rias," Aidan answered. "And while logically, I would agree that we both have our duties and great tasks for both of us, that does not mean I will intend to let anything destroy what we have now. A world without you is a world I would never want to live in. That's why-"

Aidan didn't get to finish as he saw Rias sit up before leaning in to press her lips onto his. It caught him off completely, making him blush brightly, sitting in shock for a moment. But soon enough, he gives in and applies a little bit of pressure from his end to hers to meet her feelings.

They break off the kiss for a moment and stare into each other's eyes. Then the nephalem and the Crimson Haired Princess of Ruin started a make-out session.

Rias leans her body into Aidan's, pressing her breasts to his chest as he holds her tightly, wrapping one arm around her back and another around her hip, keeping her close. Their tongues intertwine as Rias moans, reaching behind Aidan's neck to hold him in their kiss. Aidan's left hand caresses her right leg as it goes under her bare thighs, making her tempted to wrap it around his waist.

The bedroom would become more heated up had the lights not been turned on.

"I knew it!" Asia exclaimed with a pout and with two cute fists, making the two stop their make-out session. "It's not fair you get to have Aidan all by yourself, Buchou!"

Rias merely smirks, not letting go of Aidan. "He's my boyfriend, Asia. And that means I get to him all by myself for tonight."

Asia then ran over, jumping onto the bed, and pulling Aidan away from Rias. She hugs him tightly around his neck, desperate to have him.

"No, that means you have to share!" Asia whines.

Rias and Asia were soon glaring at one another, making Aidan sigh thinking this is going to be another restless night. But before the room could be turned into a warzone, Sirzechs walks in.

"Girls, please," He said with a cool expression. "You are all a part of Aidan's harem now. There should not be any fighting over the same man we all admire."

The girls blush in embarrassment while Aidan was deadpanned. He could not help but wonder what his mother Aurelia would think of this harem situation he was thrusted into.

"I can see that you've gained the attraction of many young women, including the maids," Sirzechs told Aidan. "Of course, you aren't the first nephalem like that."

"There is no harem, but that's not why you're here, right?" Rias questioned her brother as she stood up to face him.

"Sharp as ever," said Sirzechs. "There is something that I've been needing to talk to you about."

Rias nods her head. "Go ahead."

"I think it is time to release the other Bishop," Sirzechs said, leaving Rias to gasp but Raiden and Asia confused as they looked at one another.

---

The next day after school, the Occult Research Club were standing in front of the "Sealed Classroom", which was the same forbidden room that had locked chains and police tape with the sign that said, "DO NOT ENTER!"

"I was curious as to why this was here," Aidan said, who was standing in front of them and the door. "I didn't know this is where you kept your other Bishop though."

"The Bishop's gifts were too dangerous," Rias explained, not taking her eyes off the door. "I wasn't strong enough to control it, so I sealed it away. My brother said that after the fight with the Demons, especially Diablo and Mephisto, it let him to reconsider his decision. He stated that there were a lot more Pieces to work with and now that I'm stronger, he's confident that I'll be able to control the Bishop."

Aidan was curious as to how powerful this Bishop was. If it was this powerful, then he wonders just how much to the point a seal had to be made.

Asia asks, "So they're in here?"

"That's right. Last night I came here to release the seal and allow the Bishop to leave this area. I don't know why, but they refused the offer."

"It's a shame. The kid inside has been the biggest earner among the servants," Akeno said, surprising Aidan and Asia.

"How so?" asked the former.

"Through a computer, the kid took on special contracts from humans," Kiba explained.

"Which means the power of this Bishop must be fairly dangerous enough to be locked away," Xenovia said.

Rias held out her hand to the door. A magical seal appeared for only a couple of seconds before it broke apart and disappeared, along with the chains and police tape.

"…Now the seal has been broken," Koneko said. Rias then reached and grabbed the handles with both hands, taking in a deep breath and exhaling out before opening the doors.

---

Not much to say for this chapter if I am quite honest. Although we did get to know a few more interesting things. The first is Sinestra, whose threat level is about the same as Vali's if not greater. We still do not know exactly who she is but to be clear, she is not a Devil. Both Vali and SInestra are half-siblings born from the same mother but different fathers. I will explain more of that later when the season 2 arc ends.

Next is Akeno. Here we see the normal side of her but come the next two chapters, we will learn what has been happening with her behind the scenes, especially when she found out the truth of her family by Mephisto. Plus, she seems to be desiring Aidan more and more as time goes by. I don't know if she is jealous of Rias for being first but she does like a challenge.

Ddraig. Where do I begin with him and his history with Demons? Well, for one thing in the canon, he is a dragon that has quite a reputation for trauma so I thought I give it an extra boost (see what I did there?) in regards to having that whole in his stomach by Diablo. And also being rescued by Albion, which by his pride, is something he doesn't want to admit he owes a debt to.

Serafall Leviathan as the cosplayer. Nuff' said.

Finally, Zeoticus accepts Aidan despite what he had done to the Gremory Family. And we also get to learn a little bit more on Aidan's mother and how she was closely related to the Gremory Family. I got to admit, Zeoticus falling in love with an Elder Angel in disguise would possibly make other people jealous, and not just in terms of females. But he does accept Aidan since he is her son, and does forgive him for what he did, as he was a pawn and victim in Diablo's machinations. Unusual for a father for any other would just outright never accept Aidan.

Next chapter is pretty obvious. Aidan is going to meet Highschool DxD's trap character for the first time. And we all know who that is.
