Well, this took longer than I had hoped but... Well one of the reasons I couldn't find myself writing this because of how pissed I got writing this.
SO PAY ATTENTION TO THIS AUTHORS NOTE PEOPLE I'M GETTING SICK OF SAYING THIS.
I AM NOT GOING TO CHANGE MY MIND! VINCENT IS JOINING RIAS'S PEERAGE!
GOODBYE!
END OF STORY!
NEGOTIATIONS TERMINATED!
People... I'm getting sick and tired of hearing you complain about Vincent choosing to join Rias's Peerage, I made up my mind on this long before I even started writing this story.
So please, stop coming up with reasons why you ant me to change it so that Vincent is a solo survivor against the supernatural, it's not gonna happen- Hell I got counters for all your reasons.
'He'll get a cheap power boost too easily'- Bro (Or Sis, I'm not judging) you don't even know what piece he'll be getting or the stat boost's he'll get from turning into a Devil, hint, it's not gonna be much.
'Too many people do an OC join's Rias story'- Yeah and just as many people do OC doesn't join Rias but is still an ally, similar with OC Doesn't join Rias and antagonizes her. Next excuse.
'He'll be a slave to Rias'- Umm... what's the word I'm looking for? Oh right. DUH! You think I watch Highschool DxD and just stare at the tit's the whole time? Jesus people I know how the Peerage System works, I get it, and so the fuck does Vincent.
Now for those of you who are thinking somewhat clearly they will have realized by the fact that Carmilla attacked him that right now thanks to some blabber mouth of a Supernatural being telling the whole world, Vincent is basically a marked man.
Seriously the Fallen are interested in him, and the Vampire clans worry the other side might use him, Devil's are wanting him for greedy reasons (I'll explain why they aren't getting anywhere with that soon)
I was actually being quite serious with the whole Mermaid kidnapping Vincent at a beach joke, they will do that if Vincent goes to the beach while he's human (And no he won't get a Mermaid in his Harem, so don't ask.)
And for those even fewer smart folks asking me why he can't just hide with the Yokai and Yasaka?
BECAUSE I SAID SO THAT'S WHY!
Sigh... Sorry, I'm seriously pissed off at you readers and reviewers.
For those of you who have supported this choice I'm sorry you had to go through that... If you even read this.
Jeez, this is the most irritating group of commenter's I've ever seen in any of my stories.
Anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter because I seriously SUCK ASS at writing filler... So you should probably expect some form of Action near the end.

Surprisingly after after I had texted her the night before I went to bed Raynare arrived at my house pretty early.
Seriously, 7 A.M., seriously what the hell woman? No sane human would come this early for a hang out session, hell most people are still staring at their coffee machines waiting for their cup o' joe.
"Morning Yuuma." I groaned, pretending to still be very tired.
"Are you okay Vincent?" Yuuma asked, still playing the innocent girl, "You don't look too good."
'Aside from the fact I've got a Vampiress that is trying to rape me in my sleep?' I though remembering the fact that said Vampire broke into my room through the window and accidentally woke me up while she was in her birthday suit... Hell the only reason I woke up was because she tumbled over the table I set by the window. "Just tired." I told Yuuma, "It's seven in the morning, most people are only just waking up."
Yuuma turned red and looking away cursed herself under her breath, "Sorry, I was just excited to meet up with you today, I haven't had much time to myself lately and I don't really have too many friends."
I nodded at that and invited her inside, idly noticing Issei staring at my front door from his window, a magazine I'm willing to bet is a porn mag in his hand.
Can't get rid of old habit's that easily I suppose based on the magazine. Either way I shook my head and shut the door.
"So..." Yuuma said taking a sip of her coffee, "What have you been doing since we last met?"
I shrugged, "Making friends, making enemies." I admitted, "Just the normal new guy stuff."
"I see." Yuuma said, knowing there was more than what I admitted.
"Yeah." I said finishing my coffee and standing up, "So, any place you wanna head to for today?"
"Well..." Yuuma started.
[]
"I would have never pegged you for a Godzilla fan." I admitted as we watched one of the movies I had on a separate shelf.
"Well then I guess you can't judge a book by it's cover." Yuuma said teasingly.
"I suppose so." I admitted, 'Though I can still tell you that you are a Fallen Angel.' I thought afterwards.
Thus we continued to watch Godzilla, actually two of them, an old VHS pair I had, Godzilla versus the Sea Monster and Godzilla versus Megalon.
"Well then." I said as I started to rewind the old tapes, and don't judge me, I like the old films better than some of the new films, it's the same thing with videos games. A lot of old games actually have heart in them while a hell of a bunch of new games lost that heart real fast and turned into Cash cows... I'm looking at you Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed, "What do you want to do next?" I asked.
Yuuma's stomach answered for her.
"Never mind." I Chuckled, "So I'm guessing you skipped breakfast."
Yuuma blushed at what I said, "S-so did you!" She cried out genuinely embarrassed.
"Ah..." I teased, "But you arrived so early I couldn't have breakfast."
"What is that supposed to mean? I'm a distraction?" Yuuma demanded.
"Well..." I said intentionally lengthening the word, "You are rather attractive I'll admit."
Yuuma just grinned, "Oh? Are you some pervert that likes looking at these?" Yuuma asked thrusting her chest out at me.
"Oh no, these aren't what I was calling attractive." I said pushing her chest back, not touching her breast's mind you, "I find the most attractive part of a woman is her eyes."
"Eyes?" Yuuma asked tilting her head.
"The eyes are the windows to the soul." I said, "A woman can hide her appearance and her personality on the outside, but the eyes are must harder to hide things with."
"A-and what about my eyes?" Yuuma asked, starting to sound a little worried.
I just smirked, "They tell me you're a girl who likes to keep a lot of personal secrets." I said, "They are also quite beautiful I'll admit."
"Thank you." Yuuma said after she took a silent sigh of relief, though I did notice her blush ever so slightly.
[]
The two of us had a late breakfast, to which afterwards Yuuma said she had to go, saying that she wanted to get some cleaning at her home done and she couldn't put it off for two long.
"I'd love to come visit you tomorrow though." Yuuma said.
"Well that would be nice Yuuma." I said holding out my hand for her to shake it, which she did, "Though I feel I need to warn you, some girl I saved without even knowing I did so has committed herself to serving me in anyway possible, I managed to convince her to stay home today but she's probably gonna barge in tomorrow."
"I... See..." Yuuma said admittedly confused.
"Yeah... Still don't get it myself." I admitted, "Hell she even tried to slip into my bed last night... Butt naked too."
"Perverted woman." Yuuma grumbled.
"Agreed." I said, "Well, see you tomorrow Yuuma."
"Bye." Yuuma said as she left out of the door.
At that same moment the door shut I was hit by a Pop-Up notification.
[A Bounty has been slain and reward sent]
[Return to Bounty Board to claim reward]
Oh, I had forgotten I had sent out a few of my Living Dolls to take care of the Devil Bounties I had.
So with that I went into my I.D. and found the returned Living Doll standing by my bulletin board, her Longsword (Which Misha decided to give me last night after I nearly kicked her out of my house... I also learned she really can turn into a bat) sat on it's shoulder, the blade cutting into the dolls dress ever so slightly... And the five other dolls in similar set's of gear behind it.
I walked up to the bounty board and set my hand against it.
[Devil Bounty- Jean Graviins: Dead]
[Reward: 20,000 Yen]
"A reward that is admittedly too simple." I sighed putting the money in my pocket and sent a set of Spirits out for a traitorous Fallen Angel (To which all the requests were from Azazel so he at least gives reason as to why they should be killed.) this set being a single Living Doll with a troop of five Shades' following it.
It was at that moment my next set of Spirit's arrived... A whole troop of six Zomibes... What? I like sending out my troops in groups of six, seems like an efficient number, enough to overwhelm the enemy and keep them well distracted, but small enough not to draw too much attention.
I figured I may as well take a seat and wait an hour for any more to return.
[]
"Holy hell." I muttered after 7 more Troops of Spirit's returned, with seven more sent out as I'm constantly getting new bounties, and I had amassed a hell of a lot of Yen.
"A Million Yen." I muttered looking at the cash on the table in front of me, "Oddly... Not very exciting a reward. I mean I don't get any experience for these Bounties."
I sighed once more and returned to my house, now don't get me wrong, A Million Yen's not as good as a Million US Dollars, but it's still nothing to sneeze at... Though with Devils rewarding me I was expecting something more... Exotic really.
Ah well those were weak strays, all of which were determined as Criminals and had a human fatality count... Maybe I'll get higher ranks if I have higher level bounties taken care of.
One thing I can't seem to find myself doing is sending out my hunts toward Stray's that have a Human Fatality count of 0. Why? Because honestly I feel they may be like Kuroka. An innocent that killed their master out of fear, fear of what they were doing to them or what they were going to do.
Shaking my head I opened my door and almost instantly tripped over a package.
Looking down I found myself walking back into my house, after checking my mailbox of course, filled with only a single letter from Yasaka.
First I looked at the note on the package.
'Finished translating Vincent. Here's the copy you asked for, I'll have a few associates of mine come by and give you any details if I catch wind of anything that might possibly be a relic. I'd do it myself but sadly I can only really trust myself in collecting these things at the moment and I'm pretty busy with my current Artificial Sacred Gear projects.- Azazel'
"Thanks pervert." I chuckled sending the Translated Relic Guidebook to my inventory before looking at the Letter from Yasaka and opening it.
'Dear Vincent, I couldn't make it out of Kyoto today, as well as the fact you're expecting that Fallen girl to visit I chose to have a letter delivered. I figured I may as well warn you that I've already managed to turn away any Devils that were seeking to enter my territory to speak with Rias Gremory about entering her territory looking for a new member of their Peerage. It may not be long before some decide to forgo asking permission from me and try to barge in through Rias herself or her parents, so be prepared to defend yourself, keep as MANY of your Spirit's out as often as possible and keep me on speed dial.- Your lovely Kitsune, Yasaka'
"Thanks." I whispered to myself and put the letter in my inventory.
It was at that moment my door flung open and I was tackle hugged by an overly happy Vampiress.
"Oh I'm so glad that Fallen Bitch didn't try anything." Misha said right before licking my neck, "Think you could let out some of your blood in a glass for me? I've been dying to taste it."
"Aren't you vampire's already technically dead?" I asked.
"Don't mention it." Misha said rather seriously, "Or I may just make a cut myself and suck it out, I'll keep my fangs away though, wouldn't want you becoming a vampire yourself now would I?"
[[]]
Well folks that's the chapter.
Also yesterday (Or today if you are reading this within 24 minutes of it's posting time of 11:36) it was my baby sisters birthday, born five years ago on Mother's Day... Oh the irony of that.
Anyway I hope you all enjoyed the chapter and I am going to sleep... because that cake's frosting left a not so desirable taste in my mouth.
