Hello, everyone it's ArtLotus here. I hope you're ready for this next chapter of A Problem Devil. And I hope you like it or love it. And thanks for the people who follow me, favorite me and review me recently. I honestly appreciate your support and help to finish this. Anyway, I'm sorry for the title, it's supposed to be longer, but there is a limit to writing the title. So, the full title is right below, than the title I put in the title box.

And for the record, like all of you who reviewed that Izayoi shouldn't be in Rias's peerage because there's no other Evil pieces to resurrect him with. So, I'll be thinking ways for him to joined the Rating Games with Rias.

So, without further ado, presenting A Problem Devil. And part two of Rias and Izayoi first meeting.

I gotta go, Ja'ne! ArtLotus out!


Chapter 7: First Kiss Part Two, A Couple Singers

Present

"That's it? I thought there's more to the story." Kiba said as Koneko nodded with him. Currently, the two were intensively listening in on the story, sparking their interest on hearing more of it since it was interesting to hear it.

"As I said, we have to get groceries." Izayoi said with a playful smirk as Kiba sighed while Koneko slump her shoulders with a frown, disappointed that they were denied to hear more of the story.

"Okay, Izayoi-senpai." Kiba said.

"Alright, Izayoi-senpai." Koneko said as Izayoi nodded. "But can we hear more of it after this?" She asked right away as Izayoi smirked.

"I think Rias will tell you on the way back home. I'm sure that she is remembering it right now." Izayoi said putting a smile on both Kiba and Koneko. "Anyway, let's go get some groceries." Just as he said, he immediately stop in his tracks as the blonde look in front of him.

"Why are there so many people?" Kiba asked looking ahead of him, seeing a crowd of people blocking their way to the general store.

"I think it has something to do with that stage in the middle of the street." Koneko stated pointing out her hand at the supposed stage in the middle of the street.

"Is there a concert being held?" Kiba asked looking through the crowd.

"Let's find out." Izayoi answered as he moved his way through the crowds, ignoring the protests he received in return. Both Kiba and Koneko look at each other before they followed right after him.

After a while, Izayoi then appear in front of the stage with Kiba and Koneko behind him. The three of them look up at the stage and noticed that it was vacant, raising a question in their minds. Amidst their confusion, Izayoi had spotted someone in the distance, appearing to be the manager since he wore a black suit and was failing to hide the beads of sweat falling from his forehead.

"What's going on?" Izayoi asked with a raise of his eyebrow. "Kiba, stay here with Koneko. I'm going to check something out." He ordered as Kiba nodded while Koneko stared at him in curiosity. Izayoi then walked around the stage, and arrived at the back door leading to what he knows as the back stage. He saw that there were no guards guarding the door, as he sees that they were all supposedly stopping the crowd from closing in on the stage. "Now let's see what's going on." Entering through the door, he looked around the room before immediately spotting the manager who was looking nervous and scared. "Hey, what is going on in here?" Izayoi asked as the manager look at him in surprise.

"W-Who are you? You shouldn't be in here. It's strictly personal only." The manager said as Izayoi grab his shoulder, and narrows his eyes at him.

"As I said, what's going on in here?" Izayoi asked gripping his shoulder tightly as the manager gulped in fear.

"W-Well, our lead singer just had a nasty case of a high fever, and the two other members of the band don't know what to do without him leading them. And with the crowd waiting for them to perform. I don't think we'll be able to perform any song or anything without them." The manager explained as Izayoi let go of his hold on the manager before thinking about the problem over.

"Well, how about we'd do a little change up then?" Izayoi asked with a smirk as the manager raised his eyebrow in confusion. "Don't worry. You found something fun for me to do, than to get groceries for the whole day." The blonde explained as the manager nodded and walked away from Izayoi to rearrange the main lead singer for the performance today.


With Kiba and Koneko

"Where is Izayoi-senpai?" Koneko asked looking at Kiba, who was looking around for Izayoi.

"I don't know, but we'll just have to wait for-" Kiba was suddenly cut off as the lights around the stage focused on the middle of the stage. "Him." Kiba finished his sentence as he and Koneko look up at the stage and they each had a surprise look on their faces. "Izayoi-senpai?!" He exclaimed in surprise as Koneko stared at Izayoi, who pick up the microphone from its stand and look at the crowd that gathered around the stage.

"Hello, everybody!" Izayoi shouted as everyone cheered, mainly the girls. "The name's Sakamaki Izayoi. I've replaced the lead singer who got a nasty case of the high fever. And so, I'm here to sing for all of you." He stated as the crowd roared in anticipation.

"Izayoi-kun!" A group of girls from the center of the crowd, cheered as they waved their hands at him.

Meanwhile, the manager waved his hand at the camera man behind the stage, as the said camera man signalled his workers to operate the cameras who were on standby. After getting the signal, the workers immediately moved their cameras to focus onto Izayoi, and broadcasting it for TV's everywhere.


With Rias

"Buchou, what happen then?" Akeno asked as Rias look up at her.

"Well, I heard noises from the balcony. And so, I went to check out. And suddenly I was met by two purple eyes looking at me." Rias said with a smile.


Flashback…

"W-Who are you?" Rias asked as she kept her eyes on him, seeing two distinctive eyes from under the stranger's hood that instantly attracted her which makes her gaze at his two purple eyes.

Izayoi chuckles which got Rias to shook her gaze and focused on to the chuckling stranger.

"Mind if I ask why are you laughing?" Rias asked raising her eyebrow at him.

"Normally, people would be alarmed to find a stranger coming up their balcony in the middle of the night. They usually screamed for help, or just pushed the stranger off the balcony." Izayoi commented as Rias giggled at the last part. "But you're different, and you're beautiful." Izayoi commented as he examines the beauty in front of him. She had a buxom figure and blue-green eyes that strangely, attracts him. But the most distinctive feature about her is her long, crimson red hair that reaches down to her thighs, with a single hair strand sticking out from the top. Her hair also has loose bangs covering her forehead and side bangs framing her face. But the strangest thing is that she was bare naked in front of him.

"T-Thank you." Rias glances down with a blush on her cheeks.

"I don't mind to cut our conversation, but you really should wear something." Izayoi said looking at her with a smirk, liking the view to his amusement.

"Huh?" Rias asked as she look down, and her eyes widen as she sees that she wasn't wearing any clothes, and that she was completely naked. And she completely forget the fact that she always slept naked.

"Here." Taking off his hoodie, revealing a black short-sleeved shirt underneath, Izayoi extended his hoodie towards Rias.

"Thank you." Rias said as she took his hoodie and wore it. She then smell the fabric of the hoodie, and she was immediately intoxicated by the smell of the stranger's hoodie. The hoodie covered half of her body, completely covering her mid-section entirely.

"No problem, Rias." Izayoi said as Rias blushed a little by her name. Rias then look up and her eyes widen again. She noticed that the stranger had took off his hoodie for her to wear, and she was shocked to see a man the same age as her, with light blonde hair spiking downwards in all directions, light tan skin, and a set of purple eyes.

Rias blushed after seeing his handsome face, but then she immediately focused on him, noting that he knew her name which was strange to her. "How do you know my name? And who are you?" Rias asked as she look at him cautiously.

"A certain brother of yours told me. And for the second question, the name's Sakamaki Izayoi."

"Sakamaki Izayoi." Rias said repeating his name. "Wait, did Sirzech told you my name?"

"Yeah. He told me about you. But I never thought her sister would be as beautiful as you." Izayoi complimented as Rias blushed, covering her face with her hands to hide her blush from being seen by Izayoi. And since Rias's hands were a little shorter than the length of the sleeves, it made her look cute when she covered her face with both of her hand covered sleeves. "Don't you look cute," Izayoi said leaning closer to her blushing face. "And sexy." At his last comment, Rias blush crimson. Since Rias was covered by the hoodie, her long bare legs were left exposed while the hoodie covered her upper body which made her look sexy.

"T-thank you, I think." Izayoi smiled as he drew back his head from closely leaning towards Rias. The blonde looks up and he noticed the dark skies.

"I think it's time I go. It's getting late." He concluded before looking at the red head. "It was nice to meet you, after all. And I hope we'll meet again, Rias-ojousama." He stated smirking as he turns away from her and was about to jump down if it had not been for Rias grabbing his hand from leaving.

"Wait." Izayoi turns his head around and he was suddenly greeted with a pair of lips on his. Slightly surprised by the act, the blonde decided to kiss back causing the red head to respond happily. After a while, Rias pulled back as a blush covered her face entirely. "It's a g-good bye kiss. A-And I hope w-we'll meet again, Izayoi-kun." She explained.

"We'll meet again. I'm sure of it." Izayoi said as he steps back from her. "See you soon, Rias. Till we meet again." Izayoi bids before jumping down the balcony as Rias quickly runs towards the edge and saw that he had disappeared, surprising her.

"…Yeah. Till we meet again, Izayoi-kun." Rias said with a small smile. Then she realized that she still wore Izayoi's hoodie, and forgot to return it to him. But then, she guessed he would allow her to keep it, knowing that there wasn't anything to cover her nudity. "It's warm…" Rias mutters with closed eyes, as she hugged herself, strangely feeling warm from the hoodie. "Sakamaki Izayoi-kun…" She said with a smile, realizing that she had gained a crush on him when she laid eyes on him, the way he was kind to her when he lend his hoodie for her to wear, and the best of all was when they kissed.

Rias then walked inside her room, and lies on her bed, thinking about Izayoi. After some time of thinking, she decided that Izayoi would be a part of her peerage in the future, having gained a crush on him and the way he disappeared made her quite interested in him. She then closed her eyes as she relishes herself with the warmth of the hoodie, making her sleep peacefully through the night, wearing nothing but the hoodie.


Present

"I remember now!" Rias said as Akeno wore a smile on her face.

"Really, Buchou? What did you remember? Besides that you stole his first kiss?" Akeno asked with a smile.

"How can I forget about him, Akeno? And I forgot to return his hoodie..." Rias thought at the last part, as a small frown appear on her face. "I've decided that he would be a part of my peerage a long time ago. And I forgot who he is." Rias said as Akeno put her hand over Rias's hand.

"It's okay. I think Izayoi knows that you didn't remember. And that's why he gave those hints. So, don't blame yourself." Akeno assured her as Rias look at her with a small smile.

"Thank you, Akeno." Just as the red head replied, a voice interrupted.

"Everybody let's go! We can't miss it!" A girl shouted to her friends as her voice could be heard inside the Occult Research Club, immediately attracting Rias and Akeno's attention.

"What is going on?" Rias asked as she walked over to the window beside her, and look outside, followed by Akeno.

"Come on, guys! Izayoi-kun is going to sing! In front of a stage in the city! We have to see it!" A girl student said to her friends who nodded towards her, as they then rushed to the city carrying cameras and phones in their hands.

"Izayoi-kun is going to sing?" Rias asked with a raised eyebrow, surprised that Izayoi could sing.

"This will be an interesting event, Buchou. How about we go?" Akeno asked with a smile.

"Okay. I want to see Izayoi-kun sing." Rias stated with a smile, as a circle appear beneath their feet courtesy of Akeno, as the two then disappeared.


Underworld

"Mou… Where is Izayoi-kun? I haven't seen him." Serafall said with a pout laying on her bed. "Maybe a little TV would help." She said as she turn on her TV, and immediately there was concert broadcasting live on TV. There were roaring fans, street lights from the stage and in the middle of the stage, was Izayoi. "Izayoi-kun?!"

"I-Is Izayoi going to sing?" Serafall asked herself while looking Izayoi entertained himself with the crowd while holding his microphone to talk with everyone. "Go, Izayoi-kun!" She cheered jumping up and down on her bed.


Human World

With Rias

"Excuse me." Rias said as people let her through, with Akeno following her. "There so many people here." Rias commented as she and Akeno reached in front of the stage, after minutes of trying to get through the crowds.

"Buchou." Akeno said as Rias look in front of her, and a smile graced her feature, seeing Izayoi entertaining the crowd all around them.

"Okay, everyone. I think it's time that I sing, don't you think?" Izayoi asked the crowd roared in excitement. "Okay, okay. Calm down. I know you're excited." Izayoi said with a smile, as the manager ordered the exchange guitarist and drummer to get on stage with Izayoi. The two then complied with his order as the two get on stage, and prepare their instruments, with the guitarist plugging in his guitar, the drummer readying his drum and cymbals.

"Izayoi-senpai." The guitarist called out as Izayoi look at him with a smirk.

"Kiba?" Rias asked surprised by his appearance on the stage.

"Come to join the band, Kiba?" Izayoi asked as Kiba was the guitarist on the stage.

"As you said, we have found something fun to do besides grocery shopping." Kiba said with a chuckle.

"If you're here, then Koneko must be here too." Izayoi said looking behind him to see Koneko adjusting her cymbals. Izayoi offered her a smile, to which Koneko turns to look at him, responding with a small smile.

"Koneko, too?" Rias said surprised as Akeno look at the newly formed band.

"Ara, ara, it seems the Occult Research Club has its own band now." Akeno commented.

"Izayoi-senpai?" Kiba called out as Izayoi then turns his head to look at him, seeing Kiba extend his hand with a guitar to him. "Can you play, Izayoi-senpai? I'm fearing if you don't, the crowd would be displeased." Kiba said with a smile to Izayoi.

"I can play." Izayoi said with a smirk as he took the red guitar and plugged in to his amplifier. He then strapped the guitar's strap over his shoulder, as he looked on at the crowd cheering for him. "Do you know the song?" Izayoi asked as Kiba nodded followed by the Koneko, who signalled him with a hit of her cymbals. "Then, let's begin." Putting the small microphone over his ear that Kiba gave him, the blonde turns to the crowd. "Everybody, we're going to play a little love song for all those boys and girls, who don't know the reason on why they don't love you. And sadly, this will be our final song for this evening." At his statement, the crowd was saddened that this was their final song, but they didn't care as they cheered them on to sing.

"I never thought Izayoi-senpai would know a love song." Kiba said as Izayoi glance at him.

"You don't anything about me, Kiba. I might surprise you." Izayoi said as he focused in front of him while the crowd fell silence. "As I said, this song is to those who don't know the reason on why they don't love you." Just as he finishes, a song slowly played from the back stage. Izayoi smirked as he slowly let out his voice to the crowd and the world to hear.

(Hot Chelle Rae fea. Demi Lovato; Why Don't You Love Me?)

See I can't wake up I'm living a nightmare,
That keeps playing over again,

Locked in a room so hung up on you,
And you're cool with just being friends

Izayoi looked through the crowd, and he immediately spotted Rias and Akeno in front of the stage waving at him. Izayoi then had an idea formed in his mind to lighten up the stage.

Left on the sidelines,
Stuck at a red light,
Waiting for my time,
And I can't see,

Why don't you love me?
Touch me, tell me I'm your everything,
The air you breathing,
And why don't you love me baby?
Open up your heart tonight,,
Cause I could be all that you need
Ohhhhhhh…
Why don't you love me?
Why don't you love me?

Izayoi then walked over to the edge of the stage, as he extends a hand to a surprise Rias.

"Me? B-But I don't know if I can sing." Rias said as Izayoi smiled.

"Don't worry. I'll help you, but I'm sure you'll be fine." Izayoi said as Rias slowly took his hand, and Izayoi carefully led her towards the stage. Kiba passed a microphone to Izayoi, who lend it to Rias. "There's the lyrics." Izayoi pointed his hand at the screen besides them, which said lyrics were displayed by a big screen above the stage.

"Okay…" Rias said with a slightly nervous tone, but seeing Izayoi smile at her, made her nervousness go away.

(Izayoi: Bold, Rias: Italics, both: bold and italics)

"See I'm just too scared to tell you the truth…" Rias then glance at Izayoi, who gestured her to continue, as she nodded and focused on the crowd in front of her.

Cause my heart ache can't take anymore,
Broken and bruised longing for you,
And I don't know what I'm waiting for,

Left on the sidelines,
Stuck at a red light,
Waiting for my time,
So just tell me,

Izayoi and Rias step up on the stage, as they sing together.

Why don't you love me?
Touch me, tell me I'm your everything
The air you breathing,
And why don't you love me baby?
Open up your heart tonight,
Cause I could be all that you need
Ohhhhhhh


Why don't you give me a reason? (give me a reason)
Please tell me the truth (Please tell me the truth)
You know that I'll keep believing (I'll keep believing)
Till I'm with you

Izayoi brought up his hand towards Rias, who graciously took it, as they sing together in sync, while the crowd cheered loudly, waving their hands at them.

Why don't you love me?
Kiss me, I can feel your heart tonight,
It's killing me so
Why don't you love me?
Touch me,
tell me I'm your everything
The air you breathing,
And why don't you love me baby?
Open up your heart tonight

'cause I could be all that you need
Ohhhhhhh

Why don't you love me?
Why don't you love me?

Izayoi twirled Rias around the stage, and he wrapped his arm around Rias, immediately stopping the twirling, as the two look at each other with a smile on their faces.

Why don't you love me?
Why don't you love me?
Why don't you love me?

"So, how's your first singing on stage?" Izayoi asked as Rias smiled.

"Exciting and wonderful, because it's with you." Rias said as she hug Izayoi, causing some "awws" to erupt from the crowd. "I'll finally remember. I remember meeting you for the first time." Rias said with a smile.

"Then, this calls for a surprise present." Izayoi said with a smile as Rias raised an eyebrow at him, pulling back the hug.

"Surprise present?" Rias said as Izayoi smirked.

"Why don't we show them how it means to love?" Izayoi asked as Rias blushed, knowing what he wants to do.

"But there are a lot of people here." Rias said glancing at the crowd.

"But I'm here with you, isn't that what matters?" Izayoi asked with a playful smirk as Rias smiled at him.

"Rias, why don't you love me?" Izayoi asked repeating the title of the song.

"Why you say? It's because I already love you." Rias said as she suddenly crashed her lips with Izayoi's, who smirk under the kiss.

The crowd who were watching gasp, some "Awws" erupted from the crowd, touched by the romantic scene. And some, mainly fangirls of Izayoi groaned in disappointed after seeing that Izayoi was taken by someone more beautiful than them. But they supported him nonetheless, as they saw that Izayoi and Rias were a perfect couple.

After a while, Izayoi and Rias pulled back from their kiss and they stared at each other while the crowd that was around the stage clapped in appreciation.

Kiba and Koneko clapped their hands too, as they watched the couple kissed.

"Another kiss stolen by you again." Izayoi said with a smirk as Rias blushed, but she didn't care as she had found her true love. The feelings she felt when they first met wasn't a coincidence at all. And after she recalled the memory and the kiss they shared together in front of hundreds of people, she grown to love him from having a crush on him. "Anyway, since we're done here. Why don't we go to the club?" Izayoi asked as Rias smiled and nodded.

"Izayoi-senpai, what about the groceries?" Kiba asked as Izayoi turns to him.

"We'll go next time. After all, we just found our fun to do for today. I don't want to ruin it with grocery shopping." Izayoi said as Kiba chuckles and nodded, followed by a nod from Koneko. "After all, we have to get Familiars for Issei and Asia, right?" At this, Rias nodded.

"But how about the people gathered here? We can't just disappear in front of them." Rias stated looking through the crowd.

"Hey, manager!" Izayoi shouted at the manager who was standing under the stage with the guards and the camera men.

"Yes, Izayoi-san?' The manager asked with a smile.

"We're going home." Izayoi informed him as the manager look at the guards, who were guarding the crowd. He signaled one of the guards with a nod, as the said guards nodded towards him.

"No worries. We've got it under control. You shouldn't worry about the crowd any longer. You can go through the backdoor to escape." The manager instructed as the four of them nodded at him.

"Thank you, manager." Kiba said with a bow as the manager waved a hand in dismissal.

"No, it's thanks to you all. Without you, we would never get this performance started. So, I thank you on behalf of the band and myself included." He stated with a bow of his head.

"No problem. As I said, you found us something fun to do for today." Izayoi said as the manager nodded at him.

"Izayoi-kun! Sign my shirt!" A girl shouted as Izayoi took it as a sign to get out.

"I think we should go." Izayoi stated as he grabbed Rias's hand and rushed towards the backdoor, with Kiba and Koneko following behind him.

Izayoi open the backdoor and rushed outside with Rias, followed by Kiba and then Koneko. After they went out the backdoor, they spotted Akeno waiting for them by the lamp post.

"Ara, ara. Looks like you're in a hurry. Izayoi-kun." Akeno said with a smile as Izayoi smirked.

"Well, I don't want to be chased by fan girls all day. So, can you get us out of here?" Izayoi asked as Akeno giggled at the first part but she nodded, performing a teleportation circle as the five of them get inside the circle.

"Izayoi-kun, can you teleport in the circle? I mean, you're a human." Rias asked as Izayoi look at her with a smirk.

"Let's find out, shall we?" Izayoi asked as the circle began to glow brighter and the five of them suddenly disappeared in the circle.


Occult Research Clubroom

"Where is Buchou? Do you know where she is, Asia?" Issei asked looking at Asia who was sitting next to him.

"No. I didn't meet her today." Asia answered as she slowly moved herself closer to Issei, without him noticing.

"We should find her and everyone else. They might be in-" Issei was cut off as a teleportation circle appear beside him, and suddenly Izayoi and Rias appear with Kiba, Koneko and Akeno behind them.

"Izayoi-senpai? Buchou? Where did you guys go?" Issei asked.

"There's a concert nearby. So we went to see it." Rias stated with a smile, as Issei raised his eyebrow in confusion.

"Concert? Why did you go to the concert?" Issei asked.

"There's a band that I like. And so, Akeno and I came to see the band's performance. Izayoi-kun, Kiba and Koneko were already at the concert before we were." Rias explained as Issei nodded in understanding.

"I'm going to take a nap." Izayoi said with a yawn as he lays down on the couch, and closed his eyes.

"Why is he so tired?" Issei asked looking at the sleeping Izayoi.

"The concert had a lot of people. We have to get past them, and Izayoi-kun helped us passed by them." Akeno said while Rias look at her, as Akeno turns to her and smiled.

"Anyway, Buchou. You said today we'll get me and Asia's familiars." Issei said as Rias look at him and nodded.

"Yes. First, this is my familiar." Rias said waving her hand beside her, as a bat like creature appear. "You've met her previously, Issei." Rias said.

"Huh?" Issei asked raising an eyebrow.

The bat who was flying beside Rias, then transformed into its Human Form, as Issei's eyes widen.

"What?! Then that girl was..." Issei said looking at Rias, as he slumped his shoulder.

"This is mine." Akeno said as she pointed her hand towards the floor, and suddenly an green imp appear.

"A-An imp?" Issei said looking at the green imp.

"This is Shiro." Koneko said as Issei look at her carrying in her small arms, a white cat.

"Mine is-" Kiba said as Issei turns away from him.

"I don't want to see yours." Issei exclaimed.

"Oh, come on." Kiba stated with a smile.

"It's a basic thing for demons. They can assist you, deliver messages and even find things." Rias explained.

"Um, how do you get a familiar?" Asia asked.

"That is..." Rias was cut off as Akeno heard a knock from the clubroom's door.

"Come in!" She said as the door opens up to reveal Souna Shitori, the President of Kuoh Academy's Student Council.

"Excuse us." Sona stated with a smile.
