Crimson Darkness

Chapter Three

Again, many of you wish to see more of this story. I will say this that, yes I will continue after the reliving of Rito's past, one year prior to Lala arriving on Earth.

I have received a good amount of replies wondering when the next arc will begin. So I've decided to shorten it by three months. So there will be a timeskip after Rito obtains his new powers. The next chapter will go over Rito's time on Deviluke, his meeting with the three sisters, as well as his relationship with the King and Queen. Some are really wanting to see Sephie and her connection to Rito.

Chapter five will be the start of the next arc starting off where we left off at the beginning then follow the manga afterwards.

I agree with many that reading through flashbacks is not entertaining to read. However, I'm positive you will enjoy the explanation behind Rito's backstory and his character development in these last two chapters. I went through the reviews from the previous chapter and many of you enjoyed the humor and shenanigans written.

Read the author notes at the end.

"Talking"

'Thoughts'

"Talion and Claudia speaking"

It has been five minutes of silence, since Rito's two teammates, Ayase and Kirin arrived at the Yuuki household. Five minutes where no one spoke or asked anything of the two female Assassins about themselves, or their relationship to Rito.

Just silence with the awkward staring contest of everyone staring incredulously at the young mentor and his two students / teammates.

It was becoming annoying. Rito, standing next to Ayase and Kirin, the two standing to his left. Hid his annoyance with a friendly smile, the pulsing tick marks, however, hidden behind his orange hair were clearly speaking volumes of his current mood at the situation they found themselves in.

As Rito was put in the spotlight for the third time in the same hour since returning from school. A similar treatment was given to his two teammates, Ayase and Kirin. Kirin, especially was under a microscope at the hidden hostility she was receiving from both Mikan and Nana. Their heated stares, however, namely targeted at Kirin's endowed breasts for her age.

Unlike her fellow comrade, Ayase had trained herself to be confident when addressing a crowd. Previously, prior to her joining "Red Team". Ayase was shy and lacking confidence in her abilities as a swordswomen. But training and spending time together with Rito, Kirin, and Hideaki in "Red Team". Ayase was a changed woman, her previous shyness gone.

Resting a hand on Kirin's shoulder giving it a gentle squeeze. Ayase shared a smile with Kirin when the silver haired girl turned to face her. From the corner of his eyes, Rito too, sent a warm smile towards the two reassuring them of his presence.

The sound of giggling broke the tense staring contest between everyone and Rito's teammates. Turning to the origin of the laughter led to Momo sitting beside her twin, Nana. Mea, and Mikan who was sitting next to Yami watched the third Devilukian princess cautiously. A knowing expression aimed at Momo watching to see just what she has planned.

"Ufufufu~ Rito-san~ Surely these two ladies wouldn't happen to be 'that' Ayase and Kirin amongst your harem, would it they?" Momo finished with a grin hidden behind her hand. In her free hand sitting on her lap happens to be Rito's journal.

At her words and the truth hidden behind them. Nana grabbed the journal from her sister immediately finding the page that specify the women in Rito's harem. Mea and Mikan looking over the twin's shoulders to look for themselves.

"Oh! Momo-chan is right! They are them. It says their names here and everything." Mea's excited voice rang out in the living room. Bringing life to the once deaf room.

"T-Their names are written in here. Which mean... Rito?" Mikan slowly turned her head, carefully as her eyes met those of her brother. Rito's own are closed, a complicated frown marred his face.

A hand rubbing the back of his head, Rito's expression displayed his uneasiness to the current tension in the room. He didn't waver earlier when revealing Tearju and Mikado to being in his harem. However, now with Ayase and Kirin in the same room as him having just finished introducing them to his sister and his friends. Rito was stumped on where to continue. He has lost morale and is trapped on where to go next.

But even with this setback and temporary lost of the situation. Rito could feel the concern and encouraging glances of his two teammates aimed at his back and the imagery hands on his shoulders from both Talion and Claudia in his mind. Giving his thanks to the two siblings and returning the stares of his friends with his own reassuring glance.

Facing forward to find the questioningly, slightly hostile and jealous looks he was receiving from Kotegawa and the others staring right back at him. Impatiently waiting for a proper explanation.

Taking a single deep breath, his tone full of confidence. "Yes, they are. While Ayase and Kirin are my teammates in "Red Team". Recently in the past year since Lala and everyone else arriving on Earth. The three of us." Rito paused to bring attention to himself and his two females teammates standing beside him. "Have been in a relationship, which led them to being official members in my harem, alongside Tear-hime and Mikado-sensei."

"Mou~ Rito-kun. Call me Ryouko-chan like you use too."

Mikado chastise Rito playfully, almost like when a daughter wanting something from her father. Tearju tried reprimanding her friend given Rito's current situation in hopes of shorting his burden.

"Moving on, I have four current girlfriends and I wish to add more. Before you label me a shallow, shameless pervert. I'm only adding girls who have feelings for me and vice versa. My harem as Lala and Momo put it, is to make everyone happy. And that's what I wish to accomplish. Because making only one girl happy and granting that one person happiness will only lead to everyone else who have feelings for me lamenting in depression. And I don't want that for anyone."

Hearing the reason behind Rito's own desires for creating a harem. Shed a different light of everyone's opinion on him and his plans going forward.

Rito himself had explained and showed through his memories that his team have a very close relationship that of siblings and trust one another completely. If his two female teammates can share him equally without distress or doubt. It spoke strongly of their bond as a team, also of Rito's ability to love many women equally.

Having regained control of the situation he dug himself into prior, Rito excused himself temporarily returning seconds later with a pillow in his hands. Many questioned the item he retrieved from his room, but failed to voice their curiosity.

"Now then there isn't much left to show now. I'll be skipping sections in favor of critical events like my time on Planet Deviluke. Firstly however..." Rito gingerly approached behind the couch Yui occupied, gently he nestled his pillow behind the blushing girl's back.

"There we are. Comfy?" Rito turned to face Kotegawa's crimson facial features. Their heads were close enough for the pair to be mistaken for kissing by those surrounding them.

"U-uh- Hai..." Kotegawa simply nodded her head. Too embarrass to answer, or look Rito in the eye.

Smiling, Rito moved away from Kotegawa's personal space and standing once again before everyone. He expertly avoided the jealous glares from some of the females after watching the cute moment between himself and Kotegawa Yui.

"Now before we continue where we left off on. These next set of memories will explain the powers I obtained on those two planets mentioned earlier and the connection these weapons hold." Rito picked up the katana and wakizashi from before. "Before that and I know many of you here, especially Kotegawa-san will inflict harm to my person in a minute. Before you do just that I believe you should meet the young woman, who spared my life when she could have easily taken it."

"This takes place three days after I've secured the Promethean's favor. I returned home to Earth to attend a birthday party I was never formally invited too, but was invited regardless through other means.

xox

Sitting calmly in the back of a black taxi cab, Rito patiently waited to arrive at his destination for the evening. It was evening nearing 8PM, you could see the sun setting in the west leaving the city of London bathe in colors of orange, red, yellow, and purple conjoining together.

It's a breathtaking sight to witness every night. Rito briefly glance out the window, smiling before returning to looking at the time on his Data Glove Paired. Pushing his jacket's sleeve down to cover his arm. He called out to the cab driver knocking thrice on the window separating them.

"Make a turn at the next left and you can leave me at the park around the corner. I can walk the rest of the way there."

The cab driver mutter a "Whatever you say" before following the directions provided to him. Rito pulled the sleeve of his jacket to glance at the time again. His smile became a smirk after reading the current time. Looking out the window again, his destination could be seen in the distance and within walking distance.

The taxi cab pulled to the side of an outdoor park. Rito pulled out a handful of pounds paying the driver for his services and exiting the vehicle. The taxi cab pulling away behind him causing his black jacket to blow against the wind.

Looking presentable Rito walked towards the mansion he previously eyed inside the cab's backseat.

…

Walking down an elegant and well-lit hallway. Chandeliers hung high above the person's head. Many decorated furniture such as expense painting, vases, bust of Britain's famous figures, and rugs imported from around the globe.

The person walking down the hallway is the heiress and only child of the Bristol house. Lilith Bristol having turned sixteen today is the sole heiress to her family's company and name. She is also the next in-line to assume her father's position as Grand Master of the London Templar Order.

Today however, she is celebrating her sixteenth birthday. With her family coming from a background of nobility and prestige. Her party was anything but small.

Walking in a well-mannered and refine poise befitting her position. Lilith was dressed in a gorgeous dark blue ballroom dress. The dress is sleeveless hanging off of her arms, it hugged her well-endowed chest. A ribbon of a lighter shade of blue hanged around her waist securing the dress. It stopped at her ankles showing a pair of blue high heels on her feet.

Stopping in front of a door presume to be her room. Lilith entered, locking the door behind her.

Sighing once in the safety of her room. Lilith reached for the tiara on top of her head throwing the fragile accessory onto her bed. Her long blonde hair is currently done in a bun behind with a two bangs framing the side of her head.

"Auuh. What a night. I told papa I didn't want a large party. It's always the same thing every year. Boys attempting to flirt with me to win my favor. Old men and women pushing their ideals onto me and their wishes to see the Order flourish when I take power. And papa embarrassing me with his speeches of when I was little. *Sigh* I rather be anywhere but here on my birthdays. Maybe next year I'll schedule a hunting trip the week of my birthday so I don't need to go through the same annoyances every year."

"...That's a shame. How else will I be able to give you, your birthday present in person." Hearing an intruder's voice in her room behind her no less. Lilith lifted the skirt of her dress enough to retrieve the beretta 3032 Tomcat Inox sidearm strapped to her right thigh. Turning her body around a full one-eighty she pointed the barrel of the weapon at the intruder.

Only to find the barrel of a Glock 19 handgun pointing back at her in the hands of none other than Yuuki Rito. The two teens held this stances for nearly ten minutes, never flinching, nor moving to show a hole in their defenses. It was honestly only thirty seconds

Soon enough the charade came to its conclusion as the pair began laughing like old friends meeting for the first time in years. The two mindfully sheathed their weapons before Rito stood up from his seat and embraced Lilith with the heiress returning the sign of affection.

"This is how you greet each other whenever one of you visits?" Mikan sent an accusing glare at her brother looking on as he chuckle awkwardly.

"It's honestly not that bad. We do it to make sure the other is not becoming complacent in their training."

"Everytime I'm here to visit you, you always welcome me by shoving your guns in my face. Need I remind you that it was your idea we meet in secret, not mine." Lilith giggled into her hand. She stared back at Rito, her eyes full of merit and amusement.

"Ah, sorry, sorry. I know you never liked these forms of arrangements when meeting each other. But we both know that our relationship is unheard of, except for a few examples throughout history. Still I enjoy the fun we have during our usual standoffs."

Ignoring the giggling blonde before him Rito knew when they began this secret relationship almost a year ago. That Lilith enjoys making his life hell. Although she never tries to outright kill him. He's positive she's secretly trying too.

This wasn't the first time he was on the receiving end of a loaded weapon's barrel. And it certainly won't be the final time. Whether it's her holding the weapon straight at him, or someone else is.

Reaching into his jacket's pocket in Rito's hand is a small box wrapped in wrapping paper with a cute ribbon tied into a bow on top.

"As I was saying before you so rudely interrupted me with your usual greetings." Lilith merely stuck her tongue out playfully at him. "Hopefully you were planning on telling me about your plans to skip your next birthday. How else am I suppose to give you your gifts in person?"

"Hmm... Just the wrapped one? Or my other more physical present?" Lilith sultry voice entered his ear drums, slowly walking towards him swaying her hips as she did.

"This Lilith seems harmless enough, except for carrying a firearm on her person. She seems to be trustworthy as you said Rito-kun."

"...Still, the way she speaks to him and the way they address each other. Doesn't it that remind you of someone, who also resembles her?" Mikan turned her head slightly to her left, looking at Momo sitting beside her.

"Hmm. I wonder who that could be..."

After Kyouko finished giving her thoughts about Lilith and Rito's friendly relationship despite being mortal enemies. She along with everyone watching came to the conclusion that Lilith didn't harbor any hostile second nature towards Rito, an Assassin and she, a Templar.

The third Devilukian princess continued playing oblivious to Mikan's accusing glare knowing full well who Lilith resemble in terms of nature.

Grabbing Rito's coat with both hands bringing the slightly taller boy down to her height, their lips just centimeters apart. The door to Lilith's room opened to reveal the calm visage belonging to her maid, Sara.

"Ojou-sama pardon my intrusion. I have the nightgown you requested me to bring from the- R-Rito-sama!? What are you doing here?"

Sara is Lilith's personal maid. Coming from a family with a long history of serving nobles, and even the royal family. Sara was made Lilith's maid when the latter was six. The two have been inseparable since then.

Sara has short, straight dark blue hair that comes down to at least somewhere around her chin and brown eyes. She is usually seen with you typical butlers attire.

For as long as Lilith knew Sara, her maid. She has never shown any type of emotion, except for emergency like the failed coup that happened a year ago. Now, standing in-between her room and the hallway behind her. Sara's calm and collected personality she was known for shattered leaving the usual stoic maid standing there bashfully. Cheeks red with embarrassment, eyes refusing to meet his, and index fingers pushed against one another.

Sara was an entirely different person. The person responsible for her change of personality was one Yuuki Rito.

"Ara, Rito-san. Your charms have seduced another potential candidate for the Harem Plan. I wonder what's the story behind her acting the way she does around you?"

Momo wrote something within Rito's journal, the same one he handed out previously for everyone to read. Those sitting around the young princess attempted to see what she had written, but were blocked by Momo closing the journal before their prying eyes could catch anything.

"I wouldn't use the word seduce. It sounds degrading and can be taken completely out of context. But to answer your second question, it's really not that much of an interesting story."

"Still I wish to hear every detail."

Watching the always serious maid of Lilith stand there like a love sick teenage. Rito wanted to say something to comfort the poor woman. Lilith, however, had something else in mind.

"Sara, do you wish to join us too? Even if it's my birthday today. I'm willing to share Rito with you tonight if you wish."

Rito knew Lilith enough that although she loves to tease others for a good laugh. She does have a serious side to her. When she shows off this side of her, she almost never jokes about what she says. If Lilith was implying she wanted to have a threesome with her maid.

She meant it.

Flustered even more from her master's request. Sara chose to respectfully decline.

"F-F-Forgive me, O-Ojou-sama. I cannot partake in yours and Rito-sama's fun. It would be rude of me to take part as today is your birthday. I will leave Rito-sama all to you tonight, Ojou-sama. I will remain out in the hallway to keep away any intruders from interrupting. I will see you in the morning, Ojou-sama. Have fun, Rito-sama."

Bowing to her master and her male friend whom she also fancys. Sara closed the door behind her upon exiting, locking it to prevent any accidents during their "fun".

"Hmm... That's a shame. Oh, well more for me." Rito had no say as Lilith's lips aggressively took his for a kiss. The pair's kiss grew more aggressive with lust and want. Leading to the two groping the other with wanton abandonment, furthering their own desires to reach gratification.

Soon enough clothing from the respective male and female flew around the room leaving the pair naked to the others eyes and no one else.

"A-Ah? Um, ano... S-S-Sha-" Kotegawa Yui attempted to say something to all this and to Rito for purposely allowing a scene of this nature to be shown. However, she shortly fell unconscious at seeing Rito's "package" once his underwear was stripped off. The poor girl made use of the pillow Rito supplied for her laying her head on it and taking a small nap.

"Kotegawa-san!"

Haruna tried to check on her friend's health, but she too fell victim to the same image Kotegawa was defeated by. Haruna's head fell to Kotegawa's lap, her face covered in a massive blush. Followed with a small twitch to her body but nothing serious.

"Hmph, lightweights."

"I agree. They both have much to learn."

Run and Momo stood shoulder to shoulder watching the heated scene unfold without any repercussions like Yui and Haruna experienced. Rather they degraded the two for falling unconscious before the best parts.

Everyone else was divided. On one side were those who didn't really mind watching Rito have sex. Those being the previously mentioned princesses, Lala because she's intrigued by it, Risa and Mio, Mikado-sensei, Tearju only because Mikado is forcing her to watch. Rin, although she and Aya are shielding a flustered Saki from witnessing the debauchery. The two bodyguards given no other option sacrificed their innocences in favor of their friend's. Mea and Nemesis but what else is new with those two. And finally Kirin and Ayase, these two didn't care that much because they themselves have shared a few nights with Rito.

The other half consist of Nana, Mikan, Yami who covered Mikan's eyes using her long hair. Kyouko, and lastly Oshizu. These females tried their hardest to drown out the obvious lovemaking happening before their eyes. The only two males besides Rito fell into this category, not wishing to see their friend do the deed. Except Ren who was still unconscious.

Rito himself, held a grin on his face. A grin that didn't fit his appearance before, now however; it fit perfectly.

Lying on his back on Lilith's bed. Rito pushed his head against the pillows getting a better look at Lilith in all her glory slowly making her way down his body. Her breasts brushed against his lean and slightly muscled chest dragging against his body, while Lilith slowly push herself towards her objective.

Stopping at his stomach. Lilith opened her mouth allowing her tongue to trace against one of the many scars adorning Rito's body.

"You're an idiot, you know that right?" She stopped briefly to say this quietly before continuing her tracing of his scars with her tongue.

Overhearing this Mikan removed Yami's hair covering her eyes. Ignoring and deleting the image of her brother's naked body from memory. A sullen expression fell over Mikan's lovely features at the sight of the many gruesome and horrify scars on Rito's chest alone.

"Rito..."

Not answering immediately Rito looked up at the ceiling in deep thought. He knew the two's relationship was nothing special only for letting loose after months without release. Rito himself didn't want a real relationship, especially with all that's happened recently.

In his mind he could sense the auras belonging to the two siblings residing in his body fast asleep leaving him to his own devices. Being revived from death is not the only problem grinding against his consciousness tonight.

"I know. But I can't ignore it. There are too many who look to me for support and I can't betray their trust, no matter how much pain I must endure."

Hearing him say this. Everyone watching except for Kotegawa, Haruna, and Ren (still unconscious) were touched by Rito's incredible kindness. They were surprised to see the distances he would go to protect those closes to him. It had them thinking because they're friends of his then that must mean he'd do the same for them. It brought a warm feeling to their hearts, especially to the females who were attracted to him.

"Wow. Rito-senpai is an amazing onii-san." Mea breathe out not knowing she said this out loud.

Allowing a beautiful smile to cross her lips. Mikan looked to her left staring up at the side of Rito's head, the young male standing away from them but still close enough for his presence to be felt.

Quiet enough for a mouse, she whispered to herself.

"Here's the best onii-chan I could ask for."

Her index finger pushed on the large stab wound center of his chest. Rito suppressed a groan of pain not wanting Lilith to see him as weak. Moving to look down his body to see the blond haired heiress with a mischievous smile, one eye closed staring back at him.

"There you go again. Sometimes I ask myself on how you aren't killed in battle yet. Talking like that will only lead to an early grave, I'm surprise your still breathing."

Laughing at Lilith's cold sense of humor. Rito knew he couldn't defend himself against her claim. Before he was killed Rito always put himself in danger to rescue his fellow assassins and volunteered himself to be the vanguard for every mission.

Before Lilith brought it up tonight. He always counted the days on when he'd take his final breath. Now that he's officially been killed in action then revived shortly after. Rito needed to revalue his entire Assassin lifestyle. He's not looking forward to dying again young.

Hearing a sigh escape from Lilith. Rito realized he had gone silent for a time forgetting he had a guest.

"If you're going to ignore me than I have the perfect counter to getting your attention."

Rito heard some shuffling from Lilith going further down his body followed by him grabbing the sheets of her bed at the warm feeling surrounding his cock. Unable to look Lilith in the eyes knowing exactly what she was doing to him at the moment.

Instead Rito chose to lay there and enjoy the magnificent blowjob he was receiving from her.

"Maa, I wasn't aware that we'd being watching the full show uncensored."

Momo 'innocently' gasped at the path this memory was taking. Secretly, however; she was writing everything done to use for her own "alone" time with Rito.

"Must we really watch this? Let alone listen to it?!" Kyouko like everyone who's not a pervert shielded her eyes and ears. Thinking of anything but what's happening in front of her.

"Aww don't see it as a bother. Think of it as practice for when we all have sex with Rito-senpai. I remember he loves having his-"

"Mea-san, that's too much information!" Mikan scolded the red haired galactic assassin. Her face covered in a heavy blush both from the memory and Mea's own perverted fantasies.

Suppressing her gag reflex, Lilith swallowed another two inches of Rito's hard meat. She licked around the shaft covering it in a sheet of saliva. Adding suction to her routine to assist her efforts in pleasing both Rito and her aching jaw she knew will come from this.

Bobbing her head to a slow, gentle pace. Lilith continued her sucking adding more saliva every time she went down. All Rito could hear was Lilith's soft breathing and her suction on his cock. Her room was soundproof so nothing outside could hear the wet, slurping sounds Lilith was making.

As much as Rito was enjoying Lilith going down on him. He knew that Lilith detest doing these kind of things with him. Namely anything that had her putting something in her mouth. The first time she tried giving him head she couldn't do it because of her gag reflex. Now, on her birthday night she's doing an impressive job at giving him head.

Gritting his teeth at the amazing feeling surrounding his shaft, Rito through sheer will managed to ignore the incredible feeling around his legs to look at Lilith, hard at work to please him.

The blond was ignoring him like he did to her earlier. She had placed her hands on his thighs to help with her bouncing. She kept going up and down repeatedly, all the while using her tongue to lick every side of his shaft. Her mouth enclosed around the mushroom head Lilith continued to push more into her mouth fully intent on having it touch the back of her throat this time.

"Such impressive technique." Came from Momo commenting over the memory. In her hands she's writing everything happening to memory in hopes to add more to her own arsenal.

"Hmm? What's impressive about what Lilith is doing to Rito, Momo. It looks like Rito is in pain?"

"Well, Onee-sama because you and Rito are engage, it's only natural for a wife to-"

"Shut up! Momo stop trying to corrupt Ane-ue!" Nana shielding her eyes yelled at her twin to spare their older sister from being corrupted.

Failing to grasp his sanity and falling deeper into his desires. Rito tried once more to stop Lilith knowing if she continues this way she will only hurt herself. Pushing his upper body to rest on his elbows, Rito's right hand was placed on Lilith's head.

"S-Stop please. I k-know you hate! Hate these types of things. So-" As Rito was speaking Lilith opened her eyes looking up at Rito's pleading expression. Not taking kind to his interruption she increased the force of her sucking to throw his hand off her head. Being interrupted by Rito, Lilith removed her mouth from Rito's cock, the mushroom head darken in color leaking pre-cum like a faucet, and covered in a coat of her saliva..

Ignoring Rito thanking her, she snapped her fingers once.

"H-Hey! What the?!" Rito's body was thrown back onto the mattress by a brute unseen force. As he tried to move his arms he found he couldn't move them. Looking behind him he found he had been handcuff to the bed posts.

"Thank you for your help, Sara." Lilith thanked her maid, who's head popped up on the right side of the mattress.

"It was my pleasure, Ojou-sama. Please excuse me." The maid smiled at her master before excusing herself again. Now trapped and at his enemy's mercy. Rito didn't like the smile on Lilith's face upon realizing the situation. Her smiles always spelled trouble for him.

"Ohh, how kinky. I should record this for "research" to share with Yuuki Rito later today."

"Please keep such fantasies to yourself, Nemesis."

Nemesis sitting on the loveseat couch eating a bowl of fruit she made in the Yuuki siblings kitchen. The black haired assassin ignored Tearju's plea creating a camcorder in her hand using her control of dark matter. Tearju herself blushed at Rito being handcuffed to a bed. Only instead of Rito she image herself in his position.

When the two finally started dating after Rito recruited Yami to his growing Brotherhood on planet Vermillion. Tearju remembered all the numerous sex positions they partook in during the first five weeks of their relationship. Causing her glasses to fog up and a massive blush to take over her lovely features.

Yami sitting away from Tearju, a healthy shade of red on her cheeks. Held a deadpan expression over her doll-like features overhearing her older sister / mother embarrassing herself.

"Now, since you interrupted earlier. I had Sara handcuff you to the bed so that you may enjoy yourself. I'm touched by your concerns for me, although they aren't needed. But, since your worried about my well-being how about I use something else to bring you pleasure?

Lilith's smile scared Rito internally, as he never knew what exactly went through her head. Keeping his gaze on Lilith, his eyes soon rolled to the back of his head, a gasp of surprise, as well of pleasure escaped his lips at the new feeling surrounding his cock.

"This, is something we both can enjoy and love! Ain't that right, Rito~"

At this point Rito was stunned indefinitely. Lost in the feeling of Lilith's endowed breasts wrapped snugly around his cock. Gritting his teeth to suppress the warm, snug feel they provided around his cock. Rito looking through half-lidded eyes glared weakly at Lilith's smile visage.

"Hmm... Why fight it? We both know you love big breasts."

"Tch. Don't speak for me. I'm not some jackass who only dates girls for the size of their chest."

Hearing this comment escape Rito's lips caused Nana to look down at her own flat chest. Bringing her hands to rest over her breasts hidden behind her school's uniform she smiled softly. A conflicting and on-going question she constantly asked herself was finally answered. With this her decision can be made knowing he will not mind.

"You know, Nana. That if you allow Rito-san to massage your breasts they'll grow. Just remember this only works if the person you love is the one doing it and not someone you hate."

Goaded by her twin's teasing began another round of verbal insults thrown at one another. No one paid the twin princesses any mind as this continued. Especially Mikan and Yami although the two friends did overhear Momo's statement about a loved one massaging their breasts to make them bigger.

They pocketed this away saving it for later. Returning to ignoring the literal porn being played in front of everyone.

"Still though, you can't deny you love breasts around your third leg." Lilith seductively licked the head of Rito's cock. Most of his cock was in-between Lilith's endowed chest, only the head could be seen as Lilith wanted to tease Rito, her arms around her breasts hugging them. Lilith began moving them up and down increasing the pleasure by another level.

Keeping her eyes fixed on his rapidly decreasing will taunting him to let go. Lilith pushed the head of his cock into her mouth sucking on it. She enjoyed the look he made when she did this. Noticing the familiar expression over his face Lilith knew he was close and could no longer fight against the tide.

"Oh, god! Faster, please go faster."

Allowing a smirk to fall over her lovely features. Lilith loved the sole fact she held the proud, strong Master Assassin, Yuuki Rito in the palm of her hands. All it took was her breasts around his cock and the rest sort itself out.

Choosing to spare Rito from further torment, Lilith increased her suction around the head. Rewarded shortly with a large volume of cum erupting into her mouth. Lilith wasn't deterred swallowing everything without trouble.

Removing her pillow-like soft breasts from Rito's still harden cock. Lilith moved her body up her captive's own. Reaching his chest listening peacefully to the male's steady breathing. As she did this she moved her legs to brush up against Rito's cock that didn't go down despite the orgasm he just had.

Smiling to herself and the fun she was about to have. Moving her body up she kissed his neck and chest before raising her body over Rito's, straddling his lap. Hovering over her prize, Lilith suppressed a giggle in her throat enjoying the scene of Rito trying to break free of his chains.

"Now, now. Behave and I'll let you go. After I had a chance to cum." Lilith screamed at the feeling of being stuffed. This certainly wasn't the first time they had sex, but she had hoped after a year she'd have no trouble taking Rito's entire length.

Placing her hands to rest on his stomach, Lilith looked down at Rito through half-lidded eyes watching him also enjoy the feeling of their respective sexes joined together after a two month hiatus, she began to rock her hips at a slow, gentle pace giving her time to get use to the feeling of being full again.

"Aah. N-No offense. But when was the last time you masturbated? And a follow up, but did your p-penis get bigger?" Lilith slowly increased her pace, not enough to that had the two screaming but enough to give the other pleasure.

Rito gritted his teeth to ignore the warm and wet sensation of Lilith's walls surrounding him. He also thought about uninteresting things to last longer and not climax too early. The fact that he was tied down to the mattress with no use of his arms made this more difficult.

"Hah, hah. I-I don't- I don't masturbate as often. M-Mikan will find out. To answer your second question. Ah, I don't t-think I did. *Sigh* But thanks for the compliment."

"Hmm... Y-You ass." Lilith playfully slapped his side at his remark. The pair continued their soft lovemaking, moaning at the pleasure they were under. Feeling she was prepared to go faster, Lilith lifted her hips and went down just as Rito thrusted up. This caused the two to release a loud moan. Not losing momentum Lilith increased her bouncing taking another inch of Rito's ten inch cock. The size of it was not what troubled Lilith, but the length of his cock.

Keeping the current pace of her bouncing. Lilith moved her hips side to side wishing to take another inch inside her. She can only managed to take seven inches into her when having sex with Rito. One night she got eight but she came sooner than she normally did because of it.

Rito began breathing through his nose staying with the current pace of Lilith's bouncing. When she came down he'd go up and vice versa. Still pinned to the bed through handcuffs, Rito watched Lilith close her eyes enjoying the pleasure between their legs. Listening to the cute noises she made to go along with her moaning, Rito kept his eyes on Lilith's face not on her jiggling assets bouncing in front of his face.

Staying with the current speed of her bouncing, he watched her facial expressions morph into many different looks of pure pleasure. Finding her distracted, Rito chose now to reveal his hand.

His arms are still bind to the bed posts, with a quick tug, however; he was freed! Lilith still oblivious to this let out a much louder moan followed by a gasp. Never ceasing with her bouncing she opened her eyes to find Rito's lips over her's in a kiss.

The surprise, however, was that Rito had escaped from the cuffs. Feeling his hands on her hips, and their new position of Rito sitting upright with her bouncing on his lap. This new position felt better for the two as it allowed Rito to go deeper.

"W-When- How? When did you-"

"Just shut up and enjoy."

Rito's blunt comment succeed in silencing Lilith who ignored Rito freeing himself, instead increased her bouncing as the pair were nearing their respective climaxes.

Finally they shouted out loud their releases. Lilith screamed loudly, her juices escaped her womanhood staining her sheets and Rito's lap. Rito himself groan at releasing about half a gallon of his cum inside Lilith warm cavern. He moved his head to her chest taking one of her nipples, sucking on the teat tiredly.

Falling on his back supporting Lilith's form over his. He felt his flaccid cock slip out of Lilith's folds followed by his cum spilling out of her further staining the sheets, as well as their bodies. Their heads close to one another Rito brought his lips to Lilith's engaging in a passionate kiss with the Bristol heiress.

Pulling away Lilith look down at their legs seeing Rito had at least one more go in him. Feeling brave and nervous at the same time, Lilith always wanted to try this position, only she knew of the immense pain she will be under during.

Still she summon her courage looking into Rito's golden colored eyes. Inside she was shaking, but she put on a brave front to hide her frighten nature knowing Rito would deny her request should he see her this way.

"I see you have another round in you, Rito. Tell me, what hole have we yet to do it in?"

"You mean Anal?" Rito smirk upon answering Lilith's question, he stopped himself from laughing at the face she put on when he guessed correctly.

"Oh my."

"Remember Tear? Remember the amazing feeling of Rito-kun's-"

"Please stop, Mikado. Not in front of Yami-chan and her friends."

"What is everyone talking about? Is anal really that bad?"

While Tearju and Mikado reminisce about their sexual adventures with Rito. The younger audience who are clueless about what it was they were talking about asked for an explanation.

But, an honest, trustworthy response didn't come from the best source. Nemesis seeing an opportunity to invite more chaos looked to Run, who asked the question.

"Anal is just another type of way to have sex. But instead of the male putting his penis in the area of the female where babies are made. He puts it in the one beneath it. Do you understand the difference now, Run-hime?" Nemesis looked at the heavily flustered teal haired princess with a smirk. Run successfully understood Nemesis' explanation and wished she didn't asked the question.

"S-So. Rito-kun would put h-his thing in my-"

"While it's a blunt way of putting it into a sentence. She is correct about the description." Rin spoke in a stoic, near emotionless tone, but her cheeks had red over them. Proving the emotionless swordswoman was still human.

"While it may sound funny now you'll be thinking otherwise when you try it out yourselves." Risa added at the end. Causing Run, Rin, and several other girls to become red thinking further about doing something similar with Rito.

"Y-Yes. H-How did you know."

Finding the nervous and scared Lilith Bristol disheartening. Rito pushed himself to relax on his shoulders, Lilith removed herself from him sitting beside him instead.

"Look before you start something you obviously are having second thoughts on. Please consider your options here, Lilith.. While the idea of doing anal sounds refreshing, I don't wish to put you through that kind of discomfort."

Hearing his honest feelings towards her own feelings, understanding her fears and accepting her desires to not go through with it if she felt uncomfortable. Lilith knew immediately something about the way she saw Rito forever changed in her mind.

Despite her fears, Lilith rose her head fixing a smile on her lips staring back into Rito's worried gaze. Laying a quick kiss on his lips conveying her emotions. Lilith smiled brilliantly before turning her body into the desirable position for anal. Fixing herself onto her hands and knees. Lilith looked over her shoulder back at Rito, a sultry smile over her lips.

"I know what I want. I want to do this with you Rito. I can handle the pain. Please walk this step together with me." Shaking her rear side to side to sway Rito's resolve and give into his lust. Lilith smirk feeling Rito's hand grabbing her cheeks from behind.

"Don't worry about lube; your cock is still wet enough for penetration. Now hurry." Lilith pleaded as she buried her head into her pillows. Rito looked down his body finding his cock slick with their combined juices from before.

Stroking his manhood to cover it entirely in juices not leaving a single corner clean. Believing he had covered his cock enough Rito grabbed Lilith's hips, his cock at her back entrance ready for penetration.

Bringing his head over her shoulder Rito whispered in Lilith's ear.

"Bite down on the pillow. It will be over in a flash." Positioning himself behind Lilith once more, Rito tighten his hold of Lilith's hips and pushed forward. Getting the head of his cock inside Lilith's second hole, he immediately noticed she was far tighter back there.

Not wishing to put Lilith under any more pain. Rito quickly pushed the rest of his cock into her anus. He halted briefly finding he only managed three inches despite his best efforts. Even though he managed only half of his overall size Rito couldn't doubt that Lilith is extremely tight, any more effort on his part and he'll cum without fully enjoying his first anal experience.

A plan in mind that will solve their issues simultaneous. Deciding it was worth a chance Rito cracks a hand over Lilith's rear and slaps her cheeks.

The stinging sensation arouse Lilith getting a surprised reaction from the girl. She turned her head looking over her shoulder in time to receive another slap to her ass courtesy of Rito.

"What?"

"Trust me. You'll love it." Rito answered Lilith quickly delivering a third slap to her abused ass. While Rito continued his spanking Lilith, she failed to realize because of his abuse on her cheeks that Rito had sunk in another four inches.

Although Rito was slightly disappointed he could go no further into Lilith's ass. The current sensation around the half that was inside her more than made up for it. Increasing his pace inside of Lilith's ass. It didn't take long for the two to get in the mood.

"Faster!" Lilith screamed loudly pushing backwards into Rito's thrusts amplify the pleasure she received.

Rito complied mentally, the male Assassin remained silent to starve off his own release. Lilith's tightness, the warmth, the feeling he felt with her walls sucking him in left Rito a mute.

The pair had forgotten everything around them only preoccupying themselves with their promised released quickly approaching. Rito's thrusts were of wanton abandon, every thrust he made left bruises on Lilith's now red bottom from the spanking she received. Lilith herself had lost touch with humanity sometime ago. Now she pushed her ass against Rito's thrusts to reach that climax she and her partner dreamed of.

After another minute of the four minutes since they began experimenting with anal. Rito hilted himself inside Lilith's ass releasing his final orgasm of the night. Lilith opened her mouth in a silent scream, but her mouth was soon taken by Rito for a kiss. The two kissed savoring the other's taste and the feeling they felt around their legs.

Slowly removing himself from Lilith's deflowered anus. Rito fell back saying nothing but silently enjoying the afterglow of sex with Lilith. He opened his eyes feeling Lilith's curvaceous body laying beside his lean, muscular one.

Still saying nothing Rito wordlessly brought Lilith's body for a silent embrace. Lilith snuggle herself deeper loving the warmth she was receiving with Rito's body against her's.

With their fun over, the two parties satisfied both with their lovemaking, as well with the knowledge of new positions to try out with anal now a regular thing to experiment with. Assassin and Templar laid in silent on Lilith's mattress not caring they were currently laying on their combined juices from their many rounds of sex.

Just as Rito was about to fall asleep. He decided before coming to the Bristol mansion that he'll spend the night with Lilith, it also helped that Sara was keeping a watch out for him and Lilith. While he drifted off he felt movement next to him, opening his eyes they found Lilith's naked, limping form heading for the bathroom behind her bed.

Looking over her shoulder knowing she had Rito's attention no doubt staring at her ass. Hoping to tantalize him she swayed her hips, shaking her ass in the process.

"As comfy as the bed is. I'm not going to bed smelling like this. Nor do I wish to cover myself in that. I've already informed Sara to change the sheets. So, while she does that how about round three in the showers?" Lilith continued her walk to the personal bathroom in her room swaying her hips knowing she held Rito's full attention.

Saying nothing Rito did the logical thing at that time. That was, 'shut up and follow that ass.'

xox

The memory ended fading to black. Rito went into the kitchen to retrieve something. Entering the living area once more he found the audience still covering themselves, unaware that the show ended a minute ago.

"Is it over?" Saki's question came out slightly louder because her ears had been covered leaving her completely unharmed to the image of Rito having sex..

"Yes, it's safe now Saki-sama."

Removing their hands from both her eyes and ears. Saki gave her two best friends apologetic smiles, thanking them for their sacrifices. Turning her head to where Rito stood she pointed an accused finger at him. Her expression was absolutely livid, glaring at the Assassin mentor with anger and hate behind her gaze.

"Yuuki Rito! Just what do you have to say for deliberately showing such-"

"Shh."

Suddenly being shushed by the man deserving of her anger, Saki became angrier raising her voice to challenge Rito. The older brother of Mikan 'shh' her a second time, giving an explanation for the first time.

"Stay quiet, or else you'll make her mood worse."

As he finished saying this, everyone including Saki noticed the item he had retrieved from the kitchen were smelling salts. Gently, with practiced stealth Rito hovered his head over the unconscious form of Kotegawa Yui. Bringing the item close to her nostrils, Kotegawa unconsciously took several sniffs and jumped into a sitting position.

Rito had maneuver his body away to avoid collision and a possible embarrassing situation involving the pair's first accidental kiss.

"Huh, Huh? Where am I?" Kotegawa looked at her surroundings asking where she currently was. Her brown colored orbs found Rito hovering over Haruna's form attempting to wake the blue haired girl just as he'd done for her.

"Hmm... huh? W-Where am I. What am I doing here?" Unlike Kotegawa's being struck like lighting awakening. Haruna lift herself to a sitting position more calmly looking around the room until she spotted Rito standing over her putting something away into his coat pockets.

"Now, then. Any questions before we continue?"

Rito asked avoiding a swipe from a equally livid Kotegawa Yui. The lovable tsundere glared pitifully at the young man, cheeks red with embarrassment having remembered what it was that caused her to lose consciousness in the first place.

"Y-Yuuki-kun... I can't believe that you would openly show such a shameless and perverted display. Honestly, this is far worse than your habit of falling on girls in proactive positions."

"Kotegawa-san, please calm down."

Haruna tried her best to calm the raging storm that was Kotegawa Yui. Like with Saki, Kotegawa was absolutely pissed about Rito's decision to openly show a past memory of him engage in sexual intercourse.

Finding the disorienting situation troubling, Rito gave a tired sigh, not of frustrations but of acceptance. Having already developed a counter within his mind, his only reluctance was the drawback he'll receive from the other girls because of it.

"You sure you wish to go down that road, Rito? You know the consequences that will arise from this."

'I do. Out of the twenty counters I came up with. This particular one is the less harmful.'

Accepting his fate, his front bangs causing a shadow over his eyes, Rito approached the angered Kotegawa sitting in front of him.

"...can't you keep your shameless, perverted nature under control. It'd be far less troubling if you-"

Kotegawa's rambling stopped abruptly followed by a small gasp escaping her lips. Her facial expression was completely and absolutely adorable, coupled with a embarrassed flush over her cheeks, her brown colored orbs held disbelief in them at the action Rito used to calm her down.

Kneeing before the star-struck student council president, Rito brought a hand to rest on top of Kotegawa's cheek. A small, but heartwarming smile over his lips. A smile that caused Kotegawa's heart to beat uncontrollably, causing more heat to rise to her face.

Because her brain failed to comprehend the image in front of her was truly happening before her very eyes. Kotegawa's anger towards the young Master Assassin was quickly forgotten.

"I'm sorry for putting you and everyone here through such a predicament. If I'm being honest I only showed that very memory to disprove all hostile thoughts concerning Lilith's Templar origins. When I said that she was not a threat to me I meant it. And if I'm being one-hundred percent honest with everyone, I also did it because I really wanted to see how'd you look when sleeping Kotegawa-san. I always did find you beautiful, even when we were kids, although back then we didn't really know each other like we do now."

As Rito finished giving his reason. Kotegawa's brain ignored everything after the words "beautiful" were uttered from Rito's lips. That one sentence was on repeat playing over again and again in her head.

"I always did find you beautiful."

'H-He- Y-Yuuki-kun said I was beautiful! Yuuki-kun said he always thought I was beautiful even when we were still children. He always felt this way about me for this long?! Ohhh... what should I do? W-What should I say?! Ahhh, mou! Why must this be so complicated?'

While Kotegawa fought between herself within the deep recess of her mind. Smiling to himself for a brief victory before remembering the consequences his actions would cause. Slowly turning his head sideways already feeling the heated glares of jealously hitting his back. Rito found the three Devilukian princesses plus Run glaring at him.

The scene was honestly cute. He liked the idea that these princesses loved him very much to openly display their frustrations towards him and his shameless flirting with Kotegawa. Moving forward with his observations he wasn't at all surprised to find Yami, Mea, and Tearju following suit with the princesses in mentally scolding him.

Rito did raise an eyebrow at some of the more unusual cases glaring back at him. Those being Rin, his upper classmen and the silent guardian of Tenjouin Saki. Oshizu-chan, the ghost given a human body to live amongst the living. But the strangest of the pair was from his cute little sister, Mikan.

Normally he's use to Mikan becoming upset with him. Most of his past upbringings were intentionally caused to hide his secret after all. But now, her anger from what he found behind the same colored orbs he shares with her was not of disappointment but of jealously! Earlier today, Rito unveiled his journal, which held his true thoughts and feelings towards most of the girls sitting in his family's living room.

Mikan's name was amongst the many, he'd had written about his desires to make his little sister his lover, now that they are no longer siblings through blood. To find Mikan looking at him with jealously warmth his heart. To Rito this showed that Mikan wasn't completely against the idea of him and her becoming a couple. Keeping this lingering thought to himself he made a silent promise to speak with Mikan later tonight.

Coughing into his hand, steeling his nerves, also to quiet the crowd. Rito took to the floor for the third time today.

"I'll be skipping over three mouths worth of memories simply because they're time consuming and I'm positive half of our audience can tell you what happened because they were there during those times. I'll be starting off where I obtained those two swords, along with the new powers I received because of them."

The familiar atmosphere fell over once more before the audience gathered in the living area. Forgetting about their anger towards Rito for the time being, the females who held feelings for the individual watched with rapt attention wanting to know more about their love interest and his past.

xox

Exiting the Earth's atmosphere aboard the "Traveler". Rito sat within the captain's seat inside the cockpit keeping his ship steady as they made the climb upstairs. It didn't take much longer for the "Traveler" to break through Earth's gravity hovering safely over the planet.

"Yui, plot a course for the Lighthouse on Mercury." Giving an order to his onboard ship's A.I. A cheerful but serious female voice answered.

"Plotting course for Mercury. Preparing hyper-drive to enter hyperspace. Please standby."

Waiting for his ship's hyper-drive to charge up. Rito's thoughts returned to Tearju Lunatique, the scientist who's care he left under the Promethean's he discovered a week ago. Strangely enough she has been coming up far more often than he'd like to admit.

While Rito held nothing against the curvaceous scientist / doctor. He also held no feelings of love for her also. But recently she's been in his thoughts, even during his time with Lilith, his mind would always return to the beautiful, albeit clumsy smile of the blond alien woman.

Shaking his head to focus on his current task. Rito went over his ship's power making sure he, or Yui didn't missed anything crucial. Finding everything in order with no problems to be seen. Punching in the coordinates for Mercury as given to him by the Promethean's. Hyper-drive activating, the "Traveler" entered hyperspace leaving the safety of Earth behind it.

xox

"Ah, Yui is with Rito during this time?" Lala asked this question, her and everyone else having been under the assumption that Yui, Rito's personal A.I. was only just revealed today.

Rather than answer Lala's question himself. Rito placed Yui's traveling terminal on the table in front of everyone. The white haired teenager's hologram form appeared bowing her head to everyone.

"I was created by Rito-sama when he was only seven years of age. However, I was given this body two years later, at first I was just a program inside a computer but I continued to aid Rito-sama even before he made me a body to interact with. Rito-sama is a hidden prodigy with handling technology and knows how they function. He has created many things, myself included."

"So Rito-san is a genius inventor like onee-sama?" Momo pointed out after hearing the explanation given by the white haired Yui. Lala also listening in is intrigued about her and Rito having far more in common with this revelation.

"That is correct, Momo-sama. But unlike Lala-sama, Rito-sama kept his talents secret from both family members and friends. Please understand that Rito-sama was only seven when he first learn of his hidden talent and with no parents around to guide him. He found it best at the time to hide away his gifts."

"Yui... That's enough."

Rito's tired voice silenced the A,I.'s speech. Understanding she upset her master in a way, Yui gave a quick apology and disappeared. Rito picked up her terminal and stored it away into his coat.

"Sorry, but that's something I rather keep to myself. Let's just continue onwards with the memory." Turning away from the crowd, Rito could feel their concerned eyes staring at his back. Ignoring this Rito continued the memory from where it last left off.

xox

Jumping out of hyperspace, the large ball of fire known as the sun coming into his field of vision the second they exit. Forgetting about it's intimidating size up close and the blazing heat slowly cooking the cockpit. Rito spotted the planet where his destination lied upon.

Assuming control of his ship, it was previously flying on autopilot. Entering Mercury's gravity Rito regularly checked his ship's radar to locate the Lighthouse. The area where he will obtained the power to aid him in combating the galaxies worst enemies.

"Rito-sama. I have located the Lighthouse. Turn ninety degrees to the east and continue in that direction for two minutes."

Following Yui's directions, Rito flew to those coordinates finding many stone structures on the planet's surface below. The Promethean's on the planet Dawn spoke about their previous conquest of planets in various solar systems. They told him about how they integrated their technology and way of life to these planets, colonizing them.

They didn't elaborate further about this. But Rito concluded that this happened many years ago. Looking down on the planet bed finding Mercury covered mostly in lava. There were however, some buildings and areas that have been build by the previous Promethean's still standing immune to the ocean of magma.

Facing forward hearing a beeping noise to his left. Looking down at the control panel Rito pressed on the blinking button next to him silencing the noise. Looking up once again Rito found a large tower in the distances and below that tower appeared to be a shrine of sorts if he wasn't mistaken.

"Let's find a safe place to land."

Now on the ground floor, Rito walked several feet away from his ship testing out his suit's functionality on Mercury. Wearing his black Assassin uniform with mask covering the lower half of his face. Rito removing the mask over his lips he took a deep breath inhaling the air around him.

"They were right about the Lighthouse's barrier shielding me from the sun's intense rays. The air here is similar to earth's so oxygen isn't a problem. Yui, remain with the ship. I'm going to scout ahead."

Leaving the safety of his ship with Yui onboard. Rito traverse the unknown surroundings of the Lighthouse. As he walk down a large walkway, a stone archway in desperate need of repairs greeted him as he continued inward.

Walking further inside his feet came to rest on dirt. Turning his body right Rito noticed a stone stairway leading to something in the center. Continuing further into the Lighthouse Rito began to see more decorations, talisman hanging above him and on the walls. There was a distant chime heard somewhere from what Rito believed to be wind chimes.

His curiosity growing with no means to sedate it, He ignored the increasing questions forming in his head hoping to find something at the end of this road.

Reaching what appears to be the shrine he was suppose to find, Rito glanced behind it out the open face of the cave, the sun staring back at him. Stepping onto the stone platform Rito could feel the intense heat coming from the sun but it didn't bother him, nor burn him. Instead he felt no different like he was still on earth.

Looking down at his right hand, clenching and unclenching from making a fist. He could feel great volume of power surrounding him, calling out to him! But yet, Rito didn't understand how he's exactly suppose to obtain this power without proper guidance.

Hearing faint footsteps coming up behind him. Rito ceased his thinking looking over his shoulders but was unable to clearly see the individual behind him.

"It's okay to lower your guard here, Rito. She's a friend."

Talion's words soothe his instincts reacting to a possible danger. Choosing to go by Talion's recommendations. Rito indeed lowered his guard turning around to face the individual.

The person was in fact a Promethean's similar to the one's on planet Dawn. Except this one wore a cloak over its shoulders, how Talion and Claudia could identify their genders, the very idea that these machines had a gender to begin with didn't sit right with Rito.

Taking two steps to stand beside Rito. The Promethean spared him a brief once over then continuing to stand in the epicenter of the cave.

As the two stared each other down in complete silence. Rito heard a older womanly voice echoing in his head, her voice sounded hoarse but filled with years of knowledge.

"Heh, heh. It's been far too long since you siblings visited this old hermit." Claudia and Talion appeared in their spectre forms beside Rito. Approaching the standing Promethean, Claudia lowered her body to embraced the hunched over robot.

"Apologies for dropping by unannounced. We would have sent a message but Talion and I were convinced that the last of the Promethean guardians had died out..."

"I'm thoroughly surprised to find you still active after all this time, Master Ouros."

Claudia and Talion both voiced their concerns to the elderly Promethean. Rito chose to remain silent throughout their exchange. The elderly Promethean tilted her head to the side looking at him behind the siblings, Rito caught her gaze but she turned her head away in time avoiding his curious stare.

"I see how it is... You two have made this young man your vessel. If I may be so blunt? The purpose is to keep him alive as his soul no longer harbors his body freely."

Master Ouros didn't need to say more, the downcast expression on Rito's visage revealed her suspicions. Walking calmly to Rito standing before the young male. Rito felt a cold, yet warm hand resting on his shoulder. Turning his head to look up into the helmet of the Promethean standing there, somehow he could tell her expression was that of pity and concern for him.

"Say no more, I shall grant you the ability to wield the sun's flames." Removing her hand from Rito's shoulder, she placed it on his back urging him forward. "Stand here and- Ah, good you already have a weapon to infuse." Pointing to the red hilted katana on his left hip Rito understood the silent message and pulled it from its sheath.

Staying where she asked him to stand, Master Ouros moved to stand before Rito. Spreading her arms out as wide as possible, Rito could hear a faint chant coming from the Promethean but that stopped immediately when a rush of fire began to form in front of him.

Standing close to the flame, Rito could feel the intensity behind it, as well as the power it held. True power harvest from the sun he might add. Lowering her arms down to her side, Master Ouros took a step forward holding a hand out against the fire but didn't recoil from the burn.

"Speak your name young child..."

Not turning his head to see the encouraging smiles from both Talion and Claudia. Rito kept his head held high and spoke with authority in his voice.

"Yuuki Rito."

Nodding her head at his answer Master Ouros continued the ceremony.

"This area we are standing on is called the "Forge". This is where we harness the raw power of the sun and imbue it to those who have received our blessing. Talion-sama and Claudia-sama vouch for your worth.. I too shall place my trust in you, Yuuki Rito. You have endured many hardships, you have fallen to your lowest point but returned stronger than ever. Hold your weapon against the flame."

Following her instructions Rito held the katana in his hand against the flame. His eyes widen when he felt something pull on the blade swallowing the entire katana whole.

"Grasp the hilt and gaze at your new sword!"

Lifting his gloved right hand, the hilt of the katana revealed itself to him seconds later. Grasping the hilt carefully Rito immediately could feel the vast power in his hand. He also found that he didn't suffer from any degree of burns to his hand. It felt like he somehow tamed a wildfire and that very wildfire was in his hands.

Pulling the rest of the katana from the fire, Rito tested the weight with a few practice swings. He could feel the heat of the fire surrounding him, shrouding him inside a storm, however; he was not harmed at all.

Grasping the hilt with both hands, slowly pushing his right leg further away from his body. Holding the sword away from his body horizontally. A smirk appeared on Rito's lips. Pushing power into his swing, twisting his body to a one-hundred and eighty degrees angle. Turning his body fully an armor of orange flames shrouded Rito's entire body. Wisps of fire danced off his shoulders, hair, clothing, and skin.

Relaxing his stance and sheathing his reborned sword. The armor of fire dissipated returning Rito to his usual self. Before he sheathed his katana he noticed writing near the tsuba of the blade. An engraving had been done on the flat end of the katana.

Sensing the approaching figures of Ouros and the siblings behind him. Rito didn't react to Master Ouros appearing there next to him.

"It says, "my flame is eternal, I will purge darkness from this world and bring light! I cannot be caged. I cannot be extinguish." It's written in a language that we no longer use but still acknowledge it's existence. This weapon will be your beacon against the dark, Rito-kun."

Nodding, Rito sheathed the katana. Looking behind Master Ouros he looked at the burning sun not caring that he could lose his sight forever should he stare directly at the ball of fire for a long period of time. In his mind Rito knew that he had tamed the sun and he shouldn't fear it's power. Clenching his right hand several times forming a fist. His eyes opened revealing them glowing with power.

Opening the comms link onboard the "Traveler", Rito contacted Yui to start up the engines.

xox

"That explains the strange engraving on this katana and the heat radiating from it. A terrify power indeed."

Rin's voice cut through the silences that accumulated inside the living area. Everyone had fallen silent upon Rito obtaining solar energy from the sun. Gods with amazing powers is one thing but to quite literally take power from somewhere and use it as your own. That is where many drew the line in believing the unseen.

"Rito-senpai! Can you use your fire attacks freely, or do you have to be holding your sword to use your powers?" Mea brought up an excellent question concerning his abilities and his limits. This also succeeded in rousing everyone once again, listening in to hear more about this new power. No more than Kyouko, who curiosity had been pique wishing to learn about Rito's new abilities

Rather than answer Mea's question vocally. Holding up his right hand raising his index finger and a ball of fire appeared over said finger. Everyone watching gazed in awe at the little flame. Enjoying their stupefied expressions Rito decided to end his fun. Extinguishing the fireball on his finger he returned to his previous demeanor

"I'm able to conjure fire freely but it becomes stronger when I'm holding the katana. As for experience... I've only had two years of practice so I don't consider myself an expert."

Extinguishing the small fireball Rito brought his hand down to his side.

"Ufufufu, I believe you broke them this time Yuuki-kun."

Came Claudia's teasing remark seeing the crowd still in disbelief. Everyone save for him and the two gods were unaffected by this revelation. Sighing into his hand that was brought over his face, Rito looked back at his audience seeing the light slowly returning to their eyes.

'And this isn't even the biggest revelation.'

Grabbing one of Kirin's homemade rice balls taking a bite out of it. He asked the crowd a simple question.

"Would anyone want to share a pizza? I'm thinking about ordering a pizza for myself. Given everything that's happened today I didn't grab lunch back at school."

xox

Successful with obtaining the ability to wield solar energy from the sun, Rito's next destination was Europa, the frost moon orbiting Jupiter.

Looking at the back of his right hand having removed his gloves prior to take off. Staring wordlessly at the strange ruin that appeared Rito knew this was the connection to his powers over fire. The ruin glowed a mixture of red, orange, and yellow.

Admiring the ruin for a time, the alert for leaving hyperspace went off. Putting on his gloves again, turning off the autopilot Rito took control of his ship just as they got out of hyperspace.

"It's there. I can sense lifeforms too. We should proceed with caution." Talion sagely advised.

"Understood. Now let's find this temple and hope I'm not landing during a blizzard."

Entering the planet's atmosphere, Rito continued north as per the directions given to him by Talion and Claudia. He asked about Europa's climate, and was it dangerous for him. Rito's fears were dismissed by Claudia stating she and her brother protected him against all forms of danger. On the plus side she added his newly acquired fire would keep him safe from decreasing temperatures.

Setting the ship to land in a empty clearing. The cool breeze hitting in his face, and the sound of snow crunching beneath him greeted Rito to the tundra planet. Advising Yui to remain on the ship and lock it down. Checking over his weapons not knowing exactly the type of foes he's expecting to encounter.

Updated on his arsenal he continued with Talion and Claudia leading him in the direction of the temple. As Rito traveled further away from his ship he began to notice the gentle breeze had become more stronger and violent. It was like walking through a mini blizzard.

Unable to hear anything but the sound of crunching snow, his senses were also blinded inside the unexpected blizzard. Rito failed to catch to the low panting and growls slowly surrounding him.

Coming to a sudden halt, Rito finally aware that he had been surrounded. The two gods taking refuge inside his body also noticed the ambush, however, it was too late to prepare.

Hearing footsteps quickly approaching on his left he ducked and went into a roll evading the charge by the unknown assailant. Turning around sensing another charge behind him, Rito clamped on the maw of an angry wolf before being pushed into the snow.

On his back he ignored the freezing sensation as he used his strength to stop the ravenous wolf straddling him from tearing his throat out. While Rito was occupied with this wolf he noticed the wolf's entire pack was surrounding him, cutting off every escape route in sight.

Gaining the upper hand he threw the wolf's body away from him hearing it's body hitting the snow further away from him. Attempting to stand and fight, Rito failed to move either arm, looking at his left he found a clear coat of froze pinning his arm.

Using his feet to get into a standing position he let out a curse finding his legs also trapped in the snow. Lifting his head scouting the clearing around him for an escape, instead Rito found a pack of grey, black, even some white furred wolves standing over him. His eyes widen seeing some of those wolves breathing out cold air from their maws creating the frost trapping him in the snow.

"Frost wolves! I thought they had gone extinct." Rito overheard Claudia exclaim in his head just as the last of the frost reached his head covering him entirely.

xox

"It wasn't so bad being temporarily frozen. Those frost wolves and I are real good friends since I joined their pack. This was simply their way of defending themselves from intruder's."

Smiling casually dismissing the fact that those frost wolves were intentionally attempting to kill him. Rito received no such moral support from his peers, only to be ridicule and belittle them instead.

"Must all of your friends try to kill you whenever you go to visit them?" Mikan sent an accusing glare at her brother not finding the numerous attempts on his life pleasant.

Scratching the side of his nose, a weak and disturbed laughter escaped Rito's lips. His gazed fell to the floor but secretly they looked for Kirin. The silver-haired Assassin refused to meet his gaze staring down at the wooden table instead.

"Uh... you could say that. But it all works out in the end."

Rito ended his sentence with a weak chuckle. Of course, no one laughed at his joke too intrigue to know more about his past if death didn't affect him as heavily as it did everyone else.

xox

Opening his eyes the first sensation he felt was the warmth of a fire. Throwing himself to a sitting position, Rito looked at his surroundings. Confused, he pondered where he currently was and why he was brought here.

"You're awake."

A deep, baritone voice was heard behind Rito. Turning his body around to face the voice, his eyes widen at the large wolf staring back at him. Sitting on its hind legs the size of it was about that of a German Shepard, perhaps larger. It's coat was a mixture of grey and white, the grey covered most of the wolf's body, except the belly which is white.

The elderly wolf noticed Rito's confusion and decided to enlighten him.

"Remain calm, human. I, nor my clan shall attack you a second time. To be completely honest should we have found you hostile my clan-mens would have left you to die in the blizzard. However, that will not come as it seems you are different."

Listening to the wolf's speech taking everything it said to heart. Even without the solar energy he got from the "Forge". He highly doubted he could freeze to death in a blizzard, and he certainly was not in a hurry to test that theory.

Slowly moving himself to a standing position. Rito kept an eye on the elderly wolf testing if it attack him, or assume he was reaching for a weapon. Looking down on his person, he found that those wolves didn't strip him of his weapons. Everything was still where he had them.

"Rito-kun, you can trust the frost wolves. The clan head is correct about leaving you to freeze if they found you to be an enemy. They're real good judges of character they can tell what's in your heart just from looking into your eyes."

"The frost wolves served along with Galileo many years ago. They were his knowledge seekers. Although most of them were neutral, there are some within the pack who are fighters. This particular clan appears to be the latter."

Feeling a sweatdrop forming behind his head at the latest information he's received after a fight. At times, Rito pondered if the both of them were doing this for a laugh, or were they really this slow passing information onto him.

He hoped it's the second option.

Gathering himself, Rito stood before the frost wolf keeping his hands away from his swords and careful to not trigger his hidden blades.

"Thank you for believing in me. I came here to Europa to receive a power to aid me in my travels. The control over Ice is what I seek. The Promethean's belonging to Galileo told me to find this place. A temple that served as Galileo's observatory."

Talion and Claudia appeared again standing next to Rito. They watched a small, pained smile form on the wolf's lips. He seems to be reminiscing about something that brought him internal pain.

"The master died years ago. Before he left to explore a newly discovered galaxy he found in this very observatory. He promised us that he would return here after a number of years have past. Last I heard about the master's fate is that he was ambush by pirates in an unknown galaxy and went down with his ship. We knew that he had perish as the statue here of him. The lights in his eyes went out telling us that the master had left our world."

The cave fell silence. The only noise came from the cackling of the fire beside the group.

"I'm sorry to hear that and I'm sorry for your lost."

"Hmm. It's quite alright. While the master is no more, his designs and creatures still live on. I sense some of his power within you, Rito-dono."

Placing a hand on his chest, Rito's eyes glowed briefly before returning to normal. He nodded his head confirming the wolf's suspicions.

"Very well, I will grant you permission to use this power. But first there is a requirement you must fulfill Rito-dono before we can begin."

The flame burning beside them suddenly began taking shape. Soon the flame decreased to an ember, barely illuminating the cave bathing the room in a dark environment. Rito turned his body to face the flame, his eyes widening after seeing a familiar event playing inside the fire.

Too preoccupied with his conflicting emotions, Rito failed to hear the elder wolf's next words.

"There is darkness within your heart Rito-dono. If you truly wish to learn our ways and be accepted amongst us. You must first wash away the troubles that plague your heart. Only then can you be redeem, a tainted soul has no right to wield the cold."

Reaching a hand out to the flame, Rito didn't wince from the burn, his attention held solely towards what was within the fire that only he could see.

Two figures made of fire appeared, a male and female standing face to face, opposite to each other. The male figure held a closed fist to the female figure and bowed his head, a proposal to form a relationship. However, instead of accepting the male's proposal, the female gently pushed away the outstretched fist and shook her head.

The fire changed shape once more, only this time a carnage of violence, and death played out before Rito's very eyes. Unknown to him, tears began forming taking notice of the wetness sliding down his face he raised a hand to his cheek Rito brushed his eyes clean with the sleeve of his coat.

Falling to his knees unable to support the sudden weight pushed upon him. The fire burning over the campfire returned to its original shape. Behind him the wolf watched the scene with remorse, the two gods concerned for their friend fell to their knees, embracing the shattered form of the young Master Assassin.

Taking several minutes to collect himself mentally. Thanking the two siblings for their mortal support Rito gingerly stood to his feet, the two gods helped him to his feet. His back facing the elder wolf.

"You saw it. Those two figures were from a previous memory that you had suppressed. Too ashamed and frighten to forget the pain you felt that night. I apologize for reopening old wounds Rito-dono, but this is a requirement."

Breathing deeply Rito could feel his emotions raging inside him. Thinking of good memories like his ones with Mikan when they were both still children, the day he held Mikan's infant self in his hands, him meeting the members of "Red Team" two years ago. Rito could feel his thoughts becoming less hostile and his mind returning to a passive state.

Exhaling through his nose feeling his subconscious returning to normal. He felt a cool but warm sensation on the back of his left hand. Quickly removing the glove over that hand Rito's eyes widen at the ruin different from the fire one on his right hand sitting there. It was emitting a faint blue glow.

"Good." The wolf began speaking behind him. Looking over his shoulder at the wolf standing behind him. Rito turned his body slightly to the side putting on the glove over his hand. "You have forgiven yourself for the wrongs you committed. The road to your redemption can finally begin. Welcome to our pack, Yuuki Rito-dono."

xox

The room fell silent taking time to digest everything they had witness in the recent memory. One event that took place stayed with everyone and that was the scene with the fire. When that particular memory happened for Rito, only he could see what was happening inside the fire. Talion and Claudia were oblivious to it, now however; with everyone watching his memories gave them access to see what he saw.

Details and facts required to finish this mental puzzle were brought forward. The scene with the two figures in the fire helped shed light on a prior memory. That memory being Rito introducing the Assassin Brotherhood, as well as several of it's members. Two of which are sitting within this very room and are in a relationship with Rito.

However, the audience's suspicions didn't fall upon either of the two females, but instead the female named Yatogami Tohka. Master Assassin and student to the same teacher same as Rito.

Haruna slowly raised a hand just about her lips. Her gaze fell on the silent Yuuki male standing in front of them. A knowing expression on his face, he was already aware that they had discovered the truth.

"Y-Yuuki-kun? That boy who proposed to the girl... The boy was you, and the girl was T-Tohka-san wasn't it?"

Nodding his head after a minute of silence. Rito elaborated further not catching several of the girls flinching from his response.

"Yes, what you witness in the fire was a recreation of a memory of mine that I suppressed. The night before my promotion to Master Assassin during the festivities I asked Tohka-san to follow me to the garden behind the hideout. I confessed my feelings for her there and hoped she'd accept them. Sadly, she refused, she told me that she did not want to be in a relationship because she was afraid of losing me should we start dating. She lost her parents at a very young age and grew up in a orphanage, despite this however; Tohka-san grew up to be a gentle, kind, and caring woman. One whom I fell in love with."

Haruna gasped, tears painting her lovely face. She wasn't alone as several girls were too in tears. Casting his sights to his two teammates, Rito saw Ayase and Kirin had sullen smiles over their visages.

Closing his eyes and inhaling deeply to soothe his emotions from surfacing. Opening them he started again.

"I was recruited to the Brotherhood by a kind jii-san, who saw potential in me. I was twelve years old when he found me. Even with my young age I met many expectations and made a name for myself. The mentor admired my skills saying I could surpass Itsuka Shido, who became a Master Assassin at age fifteen, the youngest in Assassin history. As I climbed the ranks to become a Master Assassin I took part in many missions ranging to assassination, forgery, escorts, and defensive ones."

"In my time I spend with the Assassins I saw many horrors, things that made your insides burn with disgust. Looking at myself in the mirror every morning I remember all the lives I had taken and the blood that stained my hands. I couldn't sleep for weeks because of the nightmares I would get, it poison my brain and my consciousness suffered for it. I was a walking bomb with a fuse lit and only time could tell when I'd implode. When Tohka-san rejected my feelings, even when she apologized with a gentle smile on her lips, it did nothing to stop the inevitable."

Stopping to look at his covered hands. Rito glared at the invisible blood covering them. No matter what he does, no matter how many times he try to forgive himself the blood would never come off. Taking a deep and heavy sigh Rito reluctantly pressed on.

"When the dust settled, I had been given a new title, the "Crimson Knight". A name I earned from my many assassinations and confirmed kills during my early months as "Red Team's" leader. I was an emotional wreck haunted from my previous killings and the horrors I witness every time I went out onto the field. With Tohka-san rejection I became unstable. Both physically and mentally. To hide away the pain I felt I threw myself into my work as a leader to my team and as an older sibling to Mikan. Troubled with my conflicting feelings at the time I swore myself away from love because I couldn't take another heartbreak from another girl I loved. This is why I had trouble confessing my feelings for Haruna-chan, and accepting Lala as my fiance and Momo's Harem Plan."

"Because Tohka-san's rejected your feelings before. That explains your reluctance to pursuing a relationship with Haruna-san and Onee-sama?"

"Momo-san!"

Haruna squeaked out her response not thinking she'd be thrown into the spotlight so suddenly. Especially when it concerns her feelings for Rito.

"Yes, Tohka-san's rejection left my heart scarred. Before I went to confess my feelings for her, I had two other girls in mind whom I also held feelings towards. Before ultimately going the harem route, I wanted just one girlfriend rather than many. Except I had three girls in mind and I loved each of them equally. I was undecided on who I should pick so I went with my heart and chose the one my heart loved slightly more."

"If Tohka-san was the one you chose, who were the other two girls?" Ayase asked, her first time speaking since she and Kirin arrived at the Yuuki house. She and her teammate were curious, as Rito never dived this deep with explaining his past to them.

Casting his eyes to look at the wooden flooring Rito answered in an almost whisper-like tone.

"Haruna-chan and Kotegawa-san."

Missing the flinching forms of Haruna and Kotegawa after this revelation. Rito found his face suddenly buried between two mounds belonging to the school's nurse, Mikado-sensei.

"There, There, Rito-kun. We know that you don't play favorites. You just decided on the best candidate at the time. It's a shame she didn't accept your feelings that night. She's missed out on a fantastic experience of having you for a lover. I should know."

Released from Mikado's bouncing breasts, Rito coughed violently having no oxygen to breathe while being held by Mikado. Looking through half-lidded eyes he was thankful to Tearju for pulling Mikado aside. He looked on with a fond smile watching the flustered blonde scold her friend. Mikado-sensei obviously ignoring the earful she was getting from Tearju

Getting his heartbeat to steady levels, removing his hand from his chest. Rito looked back at the audience staring back at him. Having ignored the slight distraction from Mikado-sensei.

Looking at the silent forms of Haruna and Kotegawa sitting on different couches. Rito promised to speak with the two later and clean up the pieces.

"When I began seeing Lilith we both knew what we wanted, not a serious relationship. But a friend to talk to and support one another. The sex was just for release from our respective schedules. When I met Tearju I felt the same love I had for Tohka-san take root, and as our professional relationship grew, so did our feelings for each other. The same for Ryouko-chan, Lala, and her sisters, Eve, Kirin, and Ayase. The love I had suppressed within my heart that night fought it's way back more powerful than ever. At first I was against having a harem of my own but since being revived I don't regret this decision."

"Hmm... Wiser words haven't been said in such a fashion, Yuuki Rito. But I admired your conviction." Nemesis cheered from her seat not at all bothered by the current atmosphere in the room.

"I hate ecchi things."

Yami uttered her infamous line listening to Rito speak about harems. She did have a spot of red, however, from hearing her name come up in that list.

"M-Moving on. Yuuki-kun enough of these intermissions finish up before the entire day is lost for us." Kotegawa moving a piece of her hair behind her ear urged Rito to restart his demonstrations. Looking out the window the sun had slowly began to set meaning that at this moment the students back at the school were leaving for home.

Agreeing to her demands Rito hit play on his Data glove paired.

xox

Flying through the emptiness of space, Rito was now on route to Vermillion, he had spent the last week on Europa learning from the frost wolves about their culture, living with his new pack, but mostly training to control his new Ice powers.

Having completed his original task of getting two sub-elements to aid him with his conquest. Rito had received a message from the Promethean's on Dawn that the fleet was complete and awaiting orders above Vermillion as previously agreed to. Saying his goodbyes to the frost wolves, Rito jumped into hyperspace leaving his solar system behind him.

During his journey back to the solar system where Vermillion resided. Taking a small detour to pick up some extra cash, Rito came upon another bounty hunter also hunting down the same target as him. The two of them had a duel with Rito emerging victorious. Instead of turning in the bounty of his prize, Rito pleaded with his opponent to join his Brotherhood.

It took some convincing on Rito's part but he managed to recruit his first Assassin to his cause. Now tailing Rito in his own starship behind the "Traveler". The pair made haste to Vermillion to catch up with the fleet.

Onboard the "Traveler", Rito is seen taking a nap in the pilot's chair. He had given control over to Yui, to pilot the ship to Vermillion and wake him once they arrive. Breathing softly in his sleep, adjusting his footing to a more relaxed position in his chair. Because of the guilt he felt and remorse of his earlier killings. Rito had trouble falling asleep, let alone staying asleep without waking up sweating.

These moments were rare indeed. But when he did manage to stay asleep longer than ten minutes he's bless with peaceful and relaxing dreams.

…

Stirring in his sleep, Rito noticed the chair he was sitting on was far comfortable than his one onboard the "Traveler".Opening his eyes he quickly closed them due to the bright lightening above him... Wait- bright lightening? Face up?

Opening his eyes a second time Rito noticed this time around that he was tied up. His arms were bound together with rope tied to the bed posts of a mattress. Which means he's not sitting in his ship but tied on top of a bed.

Taking this moment to look down at his body finding he was naked, except for his black boxers protecting his valuables. Surveying his surroundings revealed his bedroom, how he became tied up in his own bed back on earth troubled Rito.

"Kyaa! Yuuki-kun! This isn't funny!"

"It is for some of us~ It just means we get another showing."

Kotegawa brought her hands over her eyes knowing where this memory was going. Several others too followed her example, while the more perverted and free minded ones watched on with glee. Such as Mikado-sensei who spoke after Kotegawa dismissing her prude nature

"Where am I?" He asked no one, not expecting someone to answer when he's trapped in a dream.

"You're awake, Yuuki-kun. I hope your comfortable."

Hearing the distinctive familiar voice of Kotegawa Yui. He turned his head to the bedside on his left, what he found is Kotegawa Yui wearing a white two-piece bikini, Rito also noticed a pair of white cat ears sitting on her head. Examining her body, greatly admiring her milk colored skin and sexy figure, she really fill out nicely since they were children. Looking at her bikini bottoms he happen to see a white cat tail swishing lazily behind her, Rito guessed it collected with the bikini bottoms.

Going back up her body landing on her eyes, Kotegawa looked down at him as their eyes met and Rito found a single emotion in those endless brown orbs.

Love... love for him with a hint of seductive lust hidden deeply to throw him off, but to Rito, he saw it plain as day.

"Don't worry, Yuuki-kun. This is only so you can finally let go of your restraints and have your way with us." Lowering her upper body having her cleavage within Rito's direct field of vision in hopes of arousing him. This position benefited Kotegawa to hear to Rito's near silent responses.

"Why you're tied up? That's a silly question to ask but I'll answer it again if you'd like. It's so you can't run away. The two of us really desire your touch and want you to have all of us..." As Kotegawa finished up, more shuffling could be seen near the end of the bed. A familiar head of brown hair made itself known to the two teens.

"Onii-chan has been so mean lately. Ignoring his imouto and onee-chan's love for him."

Mikan sensually crawled up Rito's bound body, his gaze followed Mikan in a possessed trance. He admired the pink two-piece bikini she wore, it complemented her personality as his little imouto, but also highlighted the maturity she exudes. His eyes memorized Mikan's almost naked figure, to her small, undeveloped breasts that shows promises of growth, to her flat stomach, and her cute, round bottom hugging those pink bikini bottoms with a rabbit's tail behind them.

Bringing his gaze back up to Mikan's blushing face staring back at him just inches from his own. Rito finally noticed the pair of white rabbit ears on her head. He found the scene extremely cute and recorded it for later, knowing the present Mikan would never do something this cute.

"Mikan-chan is correct, Yuuki-kun. Because you have been neglecting us as of late. Myself and Mikan-chan decided to punish you for today and remind you that you don't need any more women when you can have us whenever you want."

Cupping his cheek in her hand, Mikan directed his gaze back to her.

"Onee-chan and I really want to show you why we love you so much, onii-chan. Please don't be mad at us."

xox

A loud crash was heard with a 'thump' sound following after. Returning to the once peaceful environment inside the Yuuki living room. Some would say a 'tamed' chaos. But that's only from the efforts of Rito's two teammates pulling away the angered forms of Kotegawa and Mikan.

Resting his head on the floor, a noticeable crack where his head laid. Rito had been knocked unconscious by the previously mentioned girls. While he probably deserved the beating they gave him, they never gave Rito the opportunity to thoroughly explain himself, which brings us back to the present.

Momo in a giggling fit after watching the more calm and level headed of the Yuuki siblings degrade her image by acting like a clingy little sister to Rito in the current memory. She pitied the male and moved off her seat and kneel on the floor putting Rito's head on her lap to be used as a pillow. As Momo, Lala, secretly Nana, and Haruna looked over the unconscious Yuuki male. Ayase and Kirin successfully calmed the two girls, who both wanted to continue inflicting serious injury on Rito.

"Yui-san, Mikan-san, I understand you're both under much stress and wish to relief that stress by injuring Rito further. Please hear his reasons for these dreams and you'll understand you're involvement with them."

Pleading with the girl, Ayase released Yui's arms hoping she didn't immediately go back to beating on Rito.

"Tch, please enlighten me why myself and Mikan-chan are partaking in such s-s-shameless activities with Yuuki-kun?" Crossing her arms underneath her breasts, a stern and impatience frown marring her lovely features.

Following her teammate / sister's judgement, Kirin released Mikan's arms, apologizing shortly after. She hid her face when Mikan directed a glare back at her.

"I understand Rito wanting to dream about Kotegawa-san, Haruna-san, or possibly Lala-san." Mikan missed the two girls flinching with a large blush on their faces. Lala merely smiled not at all bothered by Mikan's implication. "But why am I included in his perverted fantasies!?"

"A-Ano...?"

Everyone turned their gaze to the shy silver haired Assassin timidly raising up her hand.

"I-It's because Rito-san loves you Mikan-san more than just love for a sibling. Rito-san told us before that afterwards he had obtained the ruin for Ice. His heart began sending him visions."

Choosing to pick up from there, Ayase continued where Kirin left off.

"We both don't know the full story, Rito has yet to fully go into detail with us. But he has said that after he received his Ice powers like Kirin explained. He started to have visions in forms of dreams whenever he slept. At first he believed his brain was playing games with him, however, he soon discovered their true purpose. Since he had forgiven himself for his past failures, his heart would begin to send his brain message in the form of visions."

Kirin picked up the torch from here.

"These visions would continue to grow with more girls entering Rito-san's heart. Like this one here it was only visions of Yui-san and Mikan-san. As the year continued and Rito became more comfortable around other girls. These visions would grow to included Lilith-san, Ayase-san, and myself." Kirin blushed at the end there, yet she continued. "Rito-san's heart was telling him to accept these girls because they either held an interest in him, or had feelings towards him."

At this conclusion many of the females, who had feelings for Rito blushed. Including Mikan, while she had calm down considerably she was still troubled about her brother seeing her as a potential lover.

"I-It can't happen. Even if Rito wants me in that way, we can't display those types of feelings out in public. It's taboo for siblings to date one another." Her expression shown on her face held many emotions. Her eyes had a sullen and troubled look to them.

Reading her entry about herself inside Rito's journal, watching her act lewdly towards her brother in a dream, which included Kotegawa-san. Hearing about his reasons for feeling this way towards her from his teammates. Mikan was shocked at first, but soon she began to think back on everything she had seen and heard in the past hour.

Rito, her older brother whom she sometimes sees as a bother because of his habit of tripping over almost everything, the air included. Also a playboy for every girl that he attracts whether they're are human, or an alien with a human form, not to forget to included they're either a princess, an assassin sent to kill him, or an intergalactic doctor. There was no short to these girls.

Despite all his flaws, Mikan still saw something in Rito akin to love for her brother, the same that he has for her. Of course, she'd never display these types of emotions to him. Secretly and behind his back when he's not looking sure. But to officially accept one another and begin dating which leads to marriage and having children together. The cons outweighed the pros in Mikan's head. Although it sounds nice and secretly she could be closer to Rito liked she always hoped. It could never be because...

"You're still playing the card that you both are brother and sister, huh, Mikan-san?" Bringing the room's focus to one person. Momo spoke over the silence, a cheerful expression on her face not coming from having Rito's head laying on her lap, and she was not secretly trying to push his face underneath her skirt and the first thing he'd see upon regaining consciousness was her pink panties with ribbons of the same color hanging off the waistband.

Obviously not...

"Mikan-san at most times you can hide your emotions and your real feelings from me when you try. However, you're an open book when place in these type of situations. While I'd like nothing more than to tease you about your obvious feelings for Rito-san that transcends that of siblings. Rito-san has written in his journal that you both are no longer siblings through blood. I understand that you do not wish to hear this again, especially from me. But understand that you have been given a golden opportunity. You honestly need time to collect your thoughts and feelings to all this. Before you ultimately approach Rito-san take as much time as possible to come up with the best answer. Should you speak to him about it now, you may come to regret it."

As Momo finished her long dialogue, everyone was shocked and impressed by the explanation she gave. Nana believed at first knowing of her twin's and Mikan's usual banter they get themselves into daily. She believed Momo would use Mikan's show of weakness to grab the advantage in their fights. So she was honestly surprise to find her sister instead of pushing Mikan down, she did the opposite and helped Mikan by making her situation more possible than impossible.

Hearing a groan coming from Rito. The young man slowly stood to his feet with help from Momo and Lala, who stood up to help him to his feet. Thanking the two sisters with a kiss on their cheek. Rito momentarily pulled Momo close, an arm wrapped around her waist he whispered something into Momo's ear getting a giggle from the princess.

"I like the underwear. Perhaps I can have another peek later tonight?"

Receiving a wink from her as his answer, Rito knew that he should expect a visit from Momo tonight. Since he has revealed he is Revan, the same one that looked after Lala and her sisters on Deviluke. He won't be surprised if he found Nana in his room along with Lala and Momo.

Turning his attention back to the crowd, he wasn't fazed by the glares he received from Kotegawa-san and Mikan. However, he found their anger was minimal meaning that Ayase and Kirin had cleaned up the misunderstanding to a lesser degree. Thankful for their timely assistance Rito mentally reminded himself to reward the two at a later date.

"Perhaps a lovely dinner followed with a wanton threesome at your new apartment inside the city. Cause you can't have it here anymore with everyone home."

'Hush you. I'm already digging myself a grave here. And I don't wish to be beat to death with my tombstone before I finished digging the hole.' Ignoring her giggling echoing within his head. Rito kept his sights on both Kotegawa and Mikan as he continued the memory.

xox

Time progressed with Yui joining Mikan on the bed with the trapped Rito. Still remaining silent, the front bangs of his hair covering his eyes. He watched, looking at the two girls still in their bikinis and ears and tails. They were successful in removing his boxers, the article of clothing thrown to a random corner of the room.

For a solid minute and ten seconds the two girls admired and worshipped Rito's hard cock before finally taking the mushroom head into their months. He watched on in completely silence, small groans and gasps would leave Rito's lips. His eyes followed the pair switching from one sucking on the head of his cock. The other would lick the shaft, and play with his balls. They would repeatedly switch about every fifteen seconds, this routine silence any form of communication from Rito, his only option was to lay there and enjoy.

Right now Mikan had just taken her mouth off the purple mushroom head showing signs of the impending release. Covered in their combined saliva, the two girls turned the attention to licking the sides of his shaft. Kotegawa took the left side and Mikan had the right.

The bound and silent Rito looked on in awe at the two girls, one of which had a strong distaste for ecchi and shameless things was at this moment even if this was a dream was eagerly licking the shaft of his penis alongside his little sister.

He watched their small tongues go up and down getting every corner of his shaft, leaving nothing untouched against their combined assault. His cock began to twitch and tremble against their tongues telling the two girls that he was close, very close indeed.

"Onee-chan, it twitched!"

"It did it? Yuuki-kun, you're such a pervert. But I guess that's what I love the most about you. Ne, Mikan-chan. Let's give Rito what he deserves?"

"Hai, Onee-chan! Onii-chan please don't hold back, okay."

The two quickly fell back into their original groove, adding suction to the head like before. They would each get ten seconds then switch so they both had a chance to have him inside their months.

This combined and flawless teamwork succeeded in getting him to climax. Gushs of his sperm left the head in a burst covering everything, especially the two girls. Kotegawa and Mikan sighed in bliss in the shower they were under, his sperm hit their faces, some fell in their hair, the rest of it painted their necks and chest then falling down their bodies into their cleavage still hidden behind their respective bikini tops.

Half-lidded eyes drunk on pleasure greeted the soft panting Rito quickly recovering from his intense release. He again tried to free himself from his binds but again proved useless. Hearing his struggling the two girls rouse themselves once again, they began to clean themselves of the semen covering their bodies using their fingers to scoop up what they could and brought it to their lips.

While the two finished up their clean-up, Kotegawa and Mikan silently agreed to keep their gaze on Rito as they slowed themselves to a sloth's pace. They also included to lick the semen off their fingers as sexy and sultry as possible.

Finally they had cleaned themselves of any visible semen after that sexy performance Rito secretly enjoyed. Enough that his cock was standing strong once again, the show put on by Kotegawa and his own imouto kept him entertained for another round.

Seeing the object of their desire standing proud after its first climax moments ago. Mikan smiled beside Kotegawa, her exuberance shown over her visage turning to face the older girl.

"Onee-chan? Is it okay if I have Onii-chan first?" Surprised by the smaller girl's eagerness. Kotegawa smiled nonetheless and agreed.

"Yes you may, Mikan-chan. Rito don't hurt her, your size can easily break her if you're not careful."

Kotegawa chastise the bound Yuuki male, as he looked on watching Mikan straddle his lap, her round bottom still covered in the bikini bottoms pushed back against the shaft of his cock. The white fluffy rabbit tail felt incredible against his shaft tickling him.

Momentarily looking down into her brother's eyes shielded behind his hair. Bringing a hand to gently stroke his cheek, her eyes held unspeakable levels of love she had for him, her golden orbs shined brilliantly with respect, joy, and the utmost care she had for him.

Her next words also spoke of her overwhelming feelings she had for him.

"Onii-chan... I love you." Removing the hand from his cheek Mikan brought that hand down to her bikini bottoms. Just as she was about to move them to the side and expose her maidenhood.

A loud shout was uttered into Rito's ear.

"Revan!"

Hearing his alter-ego's name being yelled at him. Rito (Revan) raised his head from its previous position on his fist. The light returning to his eyes Rito found the disinterested frown of Black staring down at him.

Black has yellow eyes and messy black hair. He has a black collar around his neck and wears a black overcoat with all black clothing underneath. The infamous Marksman and intergalactic assassin is the one Rito recruited to become an Assassin.

Removing the hand that he use to wake Rito from his nap, he crossed his arms over his chest but kept an eye on the similar black haired male rising to his feet.

Stretching his arms over his head hearing the resounding pop as he did. Bringing them back to his side Rito looked out the windshield in front of him finding they had landed in a clearing. Nodding to himself he brought up the mask to cover the lower half of his face and the hood over his head.

"Black, let's go meet the others."

He said to his fellow male as they disembarked from the "Traveler".

xox

Thankfully Rito wasn't knocked unconscious this time around, however; the day is still young.

With the perverted dream over they returned to Rito as Revan and his new recruit arriving on Vermillion. Although Rito never said the planet's name many assume it was the correct planet. He also pointed out that they will be skipping three months to save time. While some were interested in hearing more about Rito's secret adventures, some just couldn't handle anymore surprises.

To bring laughter to the painfully silent atmosphere. Two girls made it their mission to do just that.

"Yui, I'm surprised... You always say everything is shameless and damaging to today's society, always lecturing us to be better people. But after what we had just seen and you can't say that it wasn't you that did those things. Because secretly you want to do those types of thing to Yuuki."

"And with his little sister no less. We always told her because her figure is too sexy, she doesn't need to do much to hypnotize Yuuki. And her obsession with cats do play in the bedroom like you said that one time remember?"

Risa and Mio made quick work in throwing the room into chaos bringing up the dream involving Kotegawa and Mikan to be remembered again.

Caught in spotlight with no defense planned to help her. Kotegawa timidly tried explaining her side but she was unable to stop the onslaught driven by the two female perverts. Looking on from a distances, Rito wanted nothing more than to come to Kotegawa's rescue. But he figured he'd only add more ammunition to Risa and Mio's already large magazine size.

"She'll survive, those girls will burn out soon enough and it appears the black haired one is getting reinforcements." As Talion said, Haruna, Lala, and strangely Rin came to Kotegawa's aid. Smiling briefly at the gesture of kindness Rito focused his attention back to Mikan sitting next to Yami. The other girl affected by the previous situation.

Noticing his stare Mikan looked up to find Rito staring at her with a warm smile. She allowed her own soft smile to form over her lips seeing the hidden message in his eyes.

"You okay?"

Bringing an index finger to wipe away some tears forming behind her own eyes. Mikan nodded her head and turned the opposite direction away from him. A dust of pink appearing over her cheeks.

Finding everything returning to normal. Rito continued with the next volume of memories having cycled through three months worth prior to starting.

xox

The day had finally arrived. It was unavoidable now and he knew it. While Rito wanted to desperately avoid an open conflict such as this one. He knew it was impossible, especially with how stubborn the Devilukian Emperor has become lately.

Targeting his fleet simply for the fun of it... Because of his interference Rito (Revan) can't continue the campaign to liberate planet Fiicheya. Not only has Emperor Gid halted his plans to save a dying planet currently locked in Civil War.

Now the Devilukian Navy has began attacking his ships protecting the planets under the Assassin's protection. Just recently he had received word that a large fleet consisting of four flagships, three battleships, and a single frigate are making their way to their Solar System with intentions to invade Vermillion. The Assassin's base of operations and capital for their fleet to refuel and restock. Should Vermillion fall then Rito's ambitions to bring peace to the galaxy will be for nothing.

Having instructed his fellow Assassin's, Promethean's and their allies to prepare for an enemy attack. Rito found himself alone in the hanger going over his ships' maintenance. He was aware that Planet Deviluke had a blockade protecting the planet from an enemy invasion same as them. Rito simply wanted to make sure that he's ready for war.

The battle won't take place in space but in the throne room of the emperor who commands such a massive armada.

"Yui make sure that our shields can survive a hit from a sixty millimeter cannon shot. I don't want to be shot down before we even break through the blockade.

"Yes, Rito-sama."

While he finished his last checklist over his equipment he didn't bother turning around to find Tearju standing behind him. Dressed in her usual attire, only addition is the white lab coat. The blond haired alien woman slowly approached Rito. She didn't bother hiding the noise her feet made because she knew it was pointless to sneak up behind a renowned Master Assassin like him.

"Can I help you, Tear-hime. I'm just about to take off." Saying this in a calm, almost emotionless tone. Tearju wasn't afraid as she knew Rito was in his "Assassin" mode. He gets like this whenever he's about to go on mission, this also helps to hide the anxiety he feels. It keeps him from freezing up out there.

She also could tell within his speech he wanted to be gentle with her, even with his "Assassin" mode active. It was near impossible for him to display any type of emotion. Yet he tries to let the people he loves and cares about that he's still him.

Hearing no response from the woman, Rito believed she had left him alone. That wasn't the case because he felt a pair of arms snake around his torso, then something large pushing into his back and then a body. Stopping what he was doing Rito just stood there allowing Tearju all the time she needs.

The cool, wet dampness of tears could be felt behind him, but he didn't stop her, nor reprimand her. He just allowed it to happen. After a full ten almost fifteen minutes alone. Tearju finally pulled herself away from Rito, she did say this quietly into his back then removed herself from him. He heard it as if it was whispered into his ear.

"Please come back to me alive. I can't abandon another person I love."

Hearing her request loud and clear. He turned his body around and embraced the surprised form of Tearju. She quickly fell into the embrace sharing what could possibly be their final kiss. Another minute expired when the couple finally let the others lips go, taking that brief recess to collect their breath. Rito brought Tearju's head to his chest using this time to remember her touch and her warmth. Because it could honestly be the last time he could enjoy it..

Like with the failed mission that resulted in his death on earth three months ago. He was certain he could possibly be reliving that same scenario today. Letting go of Tearju's body, gently pushing her away from him. Looking into her emerald green orbs for the final time. He said.

"Bye Tear-hime."

Saying his goodbyes he entered his ship and opened the hanger doors. Tearju looked on as the ship powered up then took off and blasted out of the hanger. She followed the decreasing size of the ship in the distance until she could no longer find it. Already certain that he's left the planet.

In space over Vermillion's orbit Rito looked over his shoulder at the planet he called home for these past months. Sighing he looked forward, the hyperdrive had been charging while he reminisce.

"Yui, are we set?"

"Hai, Rito-sama."

"Then let's go bring down an empire." The "Traveler" jumped into hyperspace, their destination was the planet Deviluke where its emperor sat on his throne laughing.

Not for much longer.

xox

"If Rito is going to fight chichiue then-" Nana couldn't finish her sentence. A large amount of red covered her face and her eyes widen remembering something that happened during that period. Whatever it was that had Nana react in such a manner left many in the audience curious.

"Nana-san is everything alright?"

Haruna timely asked the second princess worried about her after seeing her get this way. Nana turned to dissuade Haruna telling her she was okay.

"U-Um, no. I'm fine thank you for your concern, Haruna. I'm okay i-it's just I remembered something that happened when Rito stayed on planet Deviluke."

"What was it?"

Not only Haruna but now Mea was getting involved. The adorable red haired brought her face closer to Nana's causing the princess to go back. Sweat forming on her brow at the rapidly decreasing situation she found herself in.

Before Nana could come up with anything to say to help her. Overhearing the questions being asked to her younger sibling, Lala chose that moment to answer what Nana was obviously struggling to get out.

"The "Bathroom incident" is what Nana is trying to say. Remember?"

Hearing those two words being said by Lala, a dust of pink appeared over her cheeks. The scene was utterly adorable.

However, she was not the only one affected. Like a secret phrase acting as a switch for them. Nana, Momo, and Mea repeated the same two words said by Lala in a trance-like state.

"The "Bathroom Incident"." Blushes of their own appearing on their faces.

Seeing similar reactions with Nana, Momo, and Mea. Same to the reaction Lala had. The audience intrigued by this "Bathroom incident" turned to the one person they knew had the answers they desired.

Turning their heads to Rito standing away from them. His gaze focused on the four giggling girls affected by the two words he swore he never wished to hear again. Sensing numerous eyes on him he looked up finding almost everyone looking back at him. He knew from their silence they are patiently waiting on an explanation.

He gave one but not the one they wanted to hear.

"Don't look at me. The "Bathroom incident" is never suppose to be talked about."

Thank you for taking the time to read these author notes. These are to explain some of the questions I've been repeatedly asked about in the second chapter. That being who to add to the harem.

I'll start with Rito and Mikan's mother, Ringo Yuuki. Some people have asked for her to be included in the harem. While not much is known about Ringo except for the small cameos she has made throughout the series. I'm not positive about adding her to Rito's harem. She's a possibility because she's voiced by one of my favorite Japanese voice actress. If people really want Ringo in the harem then I will add her.

Right now she's a possibility try not to get the terms mixed up.

Saki was also brought up, and yes she's in the harem. However, she doesn't know what she wants whether it's Zastin, or Rito who saved her life during a previous kidnapping. Saki is also unaware that Rito was the one who saved her that night. I'll go into further detail as the story progresses.

I believe Risa was the last girl brought up. I could be mistaken. Yes, I know about her hidden feelings towards Rito, I've seen the episode that explains this and have researched the wiki to confirm it. However, I must decline adding Risa. I'll be honest I never liked her character, nor the way she acts around the cast. I know it's simply for comedic relief but I just don't know how to write her character. I'm apologize to the people who wanted Risa but my decision is final.

I'm certain you're confused about the direction we're going skipping over three months of material. I received several reviews and messages asking the duration of these flashbacks and when we'll return to canon. So this chapter and chapter four are the last remaining chapters concerning Rito's flashbacks.

Chapter five I'll be continuing onward to canon starting with the introduction of Darkness.

If there are some people who still wish to see the rest of Rito's adventures before the start of the series, no commentary added. Let me know through a message, or review. If I receive enough positive feedback then I'll create a separate fanfiction with the existing material included.

Just as a side note if you want an image to the flame armor Rito wore in this chapter. It's inspired by Destiny's Solar Titan's "Hammer of Sol" super.

Finally with the next chapter Rito will be visiting Planet Deviluke. He will have his fight with Gid, as well as formally meet Sephie, Lala, Nana, Momo. And the relationship he forms with the sisters that resulted in their reactions to his revelation as Revan back in chapter one.

It will be a pleasure writing this chapter, as it will be reading it.
