Kumiko 3rd POV
It was morning, and it's supposed to be a good one, if not for the day's event; the Open House, a day where parents come and check on how their kids are doing. For Kumiko, she didn't have parents, but she had a guardian who takes care of her. And that guardian is…
"Don't look so stressed out" he said with a grin "It's not like I'm going to cause a scene"
"That's not what is taking the roll today" replied Kumiko as she ate.
"Don't worry" he said, waving his hand.
"What is your plan, Azazel?" asked Kumiko with a serious look on her face "You don't usually come"
"Can't I see my sweet little oni before she leaves for school?" he asked while poking her head, he then noticed a ring on her right hand "What's that? I feel great power coming from it"
"Vali will tell you" replied Kumiko as she took another plate full of boiled eggs and melted cheese.
Azazel simply grinned at her and asked: "Who took the first move?"
Kumiko almost choked and glared at him. That's why she was stressed out.

Akeno 3rd POV
She was walking through the trees with Rias as they felt a huge amount of energy.
"Here" whispered Rias while pointing at a coated person standing in front of a tree.
Akeno was about to ask Rias if she knew what kind of creature could emit such energy but the person turned toward them.
"Who's here?" it was now obvious that it was a boy.
Rias sighed before revealing herself "That's not a way to talk to the owner of the place"
"Ara ara, it seems like we got a peeping tom" joked Akeno as she walked next to Rias.
"Why would I waste my time with such trivial matter" he replied while removing his hood, showing a handsome blue-haired elf "I'm here to take something mother left"
"How can we be sure of that?" asked Rias "You could be working for someone who wishes to harm me, or Sona"
"I have better things to do than waste my time with weaklings like you" he replied before touching the tree, which was burned by blue flames.
"You can't be just an elf" stated Rias as she walked to him with Akeno behind her.
"That none of your business" he replied as he dug his hand where the tree was.
"If it means making sure that you don't disturb the peace in this city then it's my business," said Rias with a stern voice.
The elf ignored her as he brought something when he withdrew his hand; it was a wood box with some strange inscriptions on it.
"Look" said the elf as he turned to them "I don't care who you are, nor what you are. But, don't try to order me around"
He left in a magical circle.
"I feel like we should talk with my brother about this" mumbled Rias.
"And since it's Open House…" began Akeno before Rias held her arm.
"I don't want to think about this"
-Scene change: Kumiko's apartment-
She waited for Li Niang to get ready and then they walked to school. When they arrived at the gate they saw Vali, waiting.
"Vali" called Kumiko "What are you doing here?"
"Azazel just called me, he said 'Congratulations'" answered Vali, with an annoyed tone "I just hope that he didn't do anything weird to you"
"Don't worry" replied Kumiko "But you are the one who's worrying me, I don't know what the Khaos Brigade would do to you once they know that you're simply an infiltrator. If that happens, they may come to hurt you or worst…"
"If they ever threaten you, I'll turn them to dust," said Vali while putting his hands on her shoulders.
"T-Thank you" replied Kumiko while blushing.
"How about you?" asked Vali while looking at Li Niang "I've heard that you were a little down"
"Lifain talked to me and… I think that I'm okay now" replied Li Niang.
"If you need to talk, the others are here for that" stated Vali.
As he turned to leave, he saw the Blackstone and his friends.
POV-Deven
Deven was in a very good mood today. It was an Open House. He did not have to worry about being embarrassed because his parents were no longer around. But, everyone else was worried. He sensed a familiar presence and his mood escalated even more. He looked across the schoolyard at the gate to see exactly who he was hoping to see. He locked eyes with Kumiko and flashed a smirk. She responded with a glare. He then felt a strong jab to his arm. He looked down at a frowning Koneko. "Don't be mean, Senpai" Deven gave a fake offended look. "Me? I would never!" he received another jab. He then sensed another presence. 'Azazel?' He split up from the group and found the Governor-General all the way in the corner of the schoolyard laying behind some trees. "What the hell are you doing here?" Azazel opened his eyes and looked up at the knight. "Oh I'm just here for the Open house, can't a proud father come and see his child at school?" Deven took a second to think. Then it clicked, and he smirked. "Kumiko," He said out loud. "Bingo. Hey, you wouldn't happen to know the story behind the dragon and the samurai would you?" Deven was hoping the Fallen would ask that. "Actually, I do" Deven took a seat next to the Faction Leader and began to retail the story to him.
"HA HA HA HA HA, Oh that's great!" Deven and Azazel were laughing up a storm. "And what exactly are you two idiots laughing about?" Kumiko growled. Deven locked eyes with her. "Oh, I'm just informing a concerned father about the 'endeavors' of his daughter," Deven said in a condescending voice. Azazel was trying to hold in his laugh. Kumiko looked like she was about to explode.
If you ask the students of Kuoh Academy what they heard from the start of the day, they would have said that there were two voices that yelled out in pain.
