Slayer: Oh yeah we're on a role here! It's time to start cranking out chapters!
Judan: It certainly helps when we have a solid idea on what we want next.
Shadow: Yeah I guess that's a good thing. Still…
Slayer: What?
Shadow: Why is he still doing here?!
Modaga: Hello~!
Judan: Well he is now basically part of this story much like you are…
Shadow: Hey I'm the only mascot needed!
Slayer: But he's shown up a few times now, in the actual story. In fact if you re-read some of the other chapters you'd see evidence of him being there.
Modaga: Even if it was only just slightly that is.
Shadow: Okay fine I'll concede to that point, mostly because we have to answer some reviews.
Modaga: Yep! Now the first comes from our good friend PersonaQeminod1.
Shadow: Yep and to answer your simple question about the enemies relative strength. We can honestly say that they won't be stronger than the dragon gods.
Slayer: Hint hint once again as to what is going on.~ Which goes to say if anyone has any guesses as to what happened between Chris' family, and who's hunting down the dragons…
Judan: Than please give a review on that!~ It'd be interesting to see what you guys have come up with.
Keno: That's right! Plus me and my brother Juda are now here!
Juda: Yep! Although Judan did mess up on my name last chapter…
Judan: I said I was sorry! Can't you just let it go?! Plus I already admitted that I messed up a bit on the last Void Emperor chapter.
Slayer: Speaking of which… Did you copy me when it came to transforming into a dragon? Because I actually have already a few characters that can do that. Namely Bladedancer or Neos, you know Rodrick's personal hero?
Judan: No I did not copy you! Although now that you mention it… I do have to thank you for giving me an idea for later…
Keno: Care to share?
Shadow: Caring is sharing after all.
Judan: Nope sorry I'll only tell during the next chapter of my story.
Juda: Darn it…
Shadow: Well that's that than… but since we only had one review we'll finish up this authors section now.
Modaga: Which means I'm ending it~! Now then we here at the Dark Guard productions own nothing but OC's and reality building concepts. Everything else belongs to their respective owners. Now without further ado…
Everyone: Here's the story!

Chapter Seven: Some rules aren't made to be broken
The Fire Dragon
You know it's surprising that Sirzechs hasn't thrown me out yet. But judging by his twitching brow that might be sooner rather than later… At this moment in time I am sitting in a conference room with only three others besides me. One is the "great" Sirzechs Lucifer, otherwise known as Rias' older brother. Sirzechs is handsome and young, having the appearance of a man in his early 20's with shoulder length crimson red hair and blue-green eyes, similar to Rias.
He was also at this moment wearing what I like to call his Maou attire. Which consisted of a cloak with golden multi layered pauldrons, along with a Victorian suit underneath.
Another person in this room was the beautiful and lovely Grayfia Lucifuge. Now Grayfia is a beautiful woman appearing to be in her early twenties, with silver hair and matching eyes. Her hair, which flows all the way down to her back, features a long braid on each side with small blue bows at the ends, while the rest is let down, ending in twin braids. She is also wearing a blue and white French maid outfit with long sleeves and a white maid headband over her head, with red lipstick as a cosmetic accessory.
Truly a beauty to behold! Which brings me to the other wonderful lady in the room!~ The one and only Serafall Leviathan! Now she is a beautiful girl with long, black hair tied into twin tails and blue eyes. And even though she has a child-like body her breasts are large. She usually dresses in magical girl's clothing from Magical Girl Milky Spiral Seven, magic wand and all. Also please don't ask me how I know the origins of her outfit… it's not something I like to think about…
Now as for why Sirzechs is angry at me… well he was the last person to be contacted to make Kuoh, our new little neutral town. Another reason might be that I've been flirting with the two beauties this whole time. Which was made worse when they accepted my flirts and flirted right back. Say what you will about me but I know how to get a positive reaction.
However this doesn't mean that I've focused solely on the women. I've also talked business and I think we're getting a breakthrough.
"Please stop flirting with them and let's get back to business!" See breakthrough…
So turning back to the blue eyed Maou I spoke. "Alright if that's what you want, but seriously we both know that you can't refuse my request. Mostly because Michael and Azazel already think it's a wonderful idea!~ Not to mention I actually got Yasaka and Amaterasu to agree as well." My words only seemed to make him angrier. However this was the business tactic. Making him say and agree to things he normally wouldn't while calm.
"Listen I understand but that is still my Ria-tans town and I won't give it away without compensation!" I couldn't help but grin at this.
So with my next few words I had checkmate. "Oh but you will receive compensation… now if I remember right Rias is engaged to Riser Phenex right?" Hesitantly he nodded his head as I continued. "Well with these rules and his arrogance he'll most likely cause and incident. Which we can then use to help break off the marriage contract." I ended my words with a smile as he just stared at me. The other two simply watched us trying to see if they needed to intervene. The truth is Grayfia's only here because she's Sirzechs' queen. While Serafall is here because she's in charge of foreign affairs.
The truth of the matter is that Serafall's already agreed, now it's all up to the Crimson Satan on what to do next. However I already knew that I'd won this round against him. Mostly because he adores his younger sister and wants her to be happy. But thanks to different customs and laws, he can't help Rias out of her contract directly. But with this there was a chance to fix things. So when he gained a cheerful smile on his face I knew the meeting was over. However the way his attitude went a one eighty actually kind of scared me.
"Well thank you for bringing up your case. I see nothing wrong with giving Kuoh to you as long as Sona and Rias can stay. Now let me just write up a contract and we can sign it at a later date!~" Told you… I always win. Smiling I stood up and shook his hand, but when it came to the other two…
"Now my beautiful maidens I'm afraid it is time to part, may we see each one another soon enough." Then with that I kissed their cheeks before teleporting away. Just in time to, seeing how Sirzechs launched a wave of destruction at me…
The black dragon the white cat
The Black Dragon (fifteen days later)
Looking up at the large mansion I just shook my head at its sheer size. Ulysses had just signed the necessary papers five days ago, and already it was built. Still now that it's done, me and Ulysses can call the remaining dragons to make this our permanent place of residence. It was also surprisingly easy to move all of our stuff in there. Along with convincing my parents that Ulysses bought it, so we could all live in there now.
"Chris Kun!~" Feeling a tackle hug from behind, I turned around to see Shirone with a bright smile on her face. She was currently wearing her school uniform, seeing how school let out two hours ago. Judging by the time I had to guess that she had gotten done with her devil contracts a little early.
Smiling myself I turned around and gave her a hug in return before kissing her. After we parted I looked behind her to see a few suitcases. Yep we had managed to convince my parents to let not just Raynare and Asia. But also Shirone to live with us from now on.
Now that I think about it… it seemed a bit too easy to convince them… Seriously all we did was ask and they said yes. Now I expected that from our dad, but I at least thought our mother would protest a bit. Instead all she did was wink at Shirone before agreeing. It really confused me at the time but they refused to say anything about it.
Clearing my mind from those thoughts I spoke to my kitten. "So did you bring everything, or do you need my help with that? I mean considering that while you'll probably have your own room. I believe you'll be spending most nights in mine." I smirked at the end there causing her to blush, before playfully smacking me on the arm. Chuckling at her actions I walked behind her and picked up a few of her suit cases.
Seeing this she protested. "No it's alright I can do that myself. I am stronger than I look after all." Smiling warmly at her I shook my head before retorting.
"Don't worry I know you can, however… is it wrong for me to want to be a gentleman and do it for you?" She shook her head while rolling her eyes, although there was still a smile on her beautiful face. However before she was able to say anything we heard a different familiar voice.
"So Mr. Black it's good to see you again." Turning towards the voice I couldn't help but sigh at who I saw.
"Juda… I didn't think that you'd show up quite yet." The green haired man smiled at me before speaking.
"Oh I've been here for about two weeks already. I really have to thank your brother later. But now me and Keno will be moving in along with the rest of you, I do hope that Glacial will show soon though…" I froze when he mentioned Keno. Now as I said before she's a good friend of mine, however… I may have forgotten to keep her posted these last few weeks. I've just been so busy and focused on other things that she kind of slipped my mind.
[I doubt she would accept thy excuses. May I suggest running] I completely agreed with Fernus and was about to do just that when I heard a voice.
"And where do you think you're going Chris?" Freezing completely I turned around slowly, to look upon the person I was trying to escape from. There standing with her hands on her hips, was a fairly attractive girl that you would never imagine being related to Juda.
Now unlike Juda she had violet colored hair that was done up in a long pony tail. It reached all the way down her back and was tied with a red and black bow, that had two long ribbon strands coming off of it. She also had bangs that slightly covered her eyes, and had longer bangs curving and overlapping each other that framed her face. Her eyes were a dark forest green and her skin was slightly tanned. She was wearing a sleeveless purple shirt with six dull black buttons running up the front. But the top two were undone showing off a little bit of her medium sized chest.
The shirt also had a collar that folded outwards, and she had a slightly loose gold chocker around her neck. She was also wearing a gold chained necklace with a purple gem attached to it. She was also wearing a matching purple skirt with a red belt around her waist. The skirt also had a few flower designs on it. On her feet were purple dancing shoes, along with white socks that went to half way up her thighs. At the top of her socks were black bands that kept them up. Then finally on her left wrist was a brown banded and gold plated watch.
Also despite being just a few inches taller than Shirone and just as petite. I knew that just like my mate… she could really hurt me if she wanted to. Speaking of hurting me I do believe she was planning just that.
So laughing nervously I spoke to her. "Hello Keno… it's good to see you again…" At my actions Shirone looked at me confused before narrowing her eyes at Keno. However Keno was focused on me, and so scrunched her face up a bit while glaring at me.
"You know… it is rather rude to keep me in the dark about recent events Chris..." She then grinned maliciously before bringing up her hand and cracking her knuckles. "I think you need to be reminded about proper etiquette. I mean you didn't even tell me you got yourself a girlfriend until my brother told me, after your brother told him." Okay I knew that part was rather true… still I had to try and defend myself.
"Look Keno I'm sorry but we've just been really busy as of late. Especially since I'm trying to learn everything about the supernatural that I can here." At my words her face seemed to soften as I continued to speak. "Speaking of which… why didn't you tell me anything about the supernatural? It could've been a large help you know? And here I thought that we were good friends…" She winced at my words before giving out a sigh, and started walking up to me without the intention of bodily harming me.
Seeing how I was in the clear, I only smiled as she gave me a customary hug before speaking.
"It is good to see you again Keno." Breaking the hug she smiled back to me before speaking.
"Yeah you to… now could you introduce me to the girl that I can only assume is yours?" Chuckling I put my left arm around Shirone before introducing her.
"Well this is Koneko Toujou my wonderful girlfriend, Koneko Chan this is Keno an old friend of mine."
Reaching out her arm to Shirone Keno spoke. "It's a pleasure to meet you Koneko I've heard good things about you." Blushing a bit Shirone grabbed her hand before speaking herself.
"Yes it's nice to meet you to. Chris Kun has also talked about you. So it's nice to meet one of his good friends." This prompted Keno to laugh before speaking more.
"Well since I'm such a good friend of his, perhaps you'd like to hear some stories about him when he was younger?" Shirone let go her hand while grinning.
"Sure I'd like that sometime." Letting go of Shirone I buried my face into my hands while groaning. Seriously it was like Ulysses back in class all over again. Seeing my distress, both girls just laughed at me. The moment was made worse when I heard Ulysses speak up.
"Well it's nice of you to finally show your face around here Juda. And here I thought you were still mad at me, for getting us caught during the whole AI mess." Now it wasn't only me that groaned but also Keno. That whole incident where Juda and Ulysses, were trying to become the illuminati was a giant mess. The entire reason they tried in the first place was to have access to unlimited money. Luckily we found out a week before they were done and punished them severely. Sighing at the memory I listened as my fellow dragons talked.
Juda was currently speaking. "Well of course I'm still angry about that but that was like a hundred years ago." More like one year ago… "Besides when I got here I actually found a phoenix! But I must say that they don't taste that good…" While Shirone's eyes widened at what she heard, me and Keno once again faced palmed. Because only our siblings would do such a thing as eat a mythical bird. Deciding that there really wasn't much of a point in staying around for the rest of the conversation, I grabbed Shirone's luggage.
Seeing me pick up my mates luggage Keno grinned, before stacking on her own suitcases. Though they weren't that heavy to me it was hard to keep balance, as well as see with the amount in my arms. However when I glared at her she gave me the puppy dog eyes. Glaring at her even more I spoke three words…
"That's not fair…" She just gave me a smug smile at my statement. Deciding that I've once again lost, I started to use my gravity abilities to make sure the pile of luggage stayed still. Then I made my way inside the house.
Now I'll admit the house was actually much larger than how I would've wanted it. But that didn't mean that I'd go around complaining about it. Now first off the house or mansion as it should really be called. It was styled after western European design. Bricks made up the outside while the inside, had different wallpapers depending on which room you're in. It also had four floors, the top was for the "adults". IE Juda, my parents, Ulysses, Lance, and eventually Glacial when she shows. But that might be awhile seeing how she's in Australia somewhere… There were also extra three extra rooms, for any others that might end up living with us.
Below that was the room for the kids. This consisted of me, Shirone, Keno, Issei, Asia, Raynare, Milly, Ophis and anyone else that might come along. Altogether the third floor had about twelve rooms. This ended up giving the house a slightly layered look from the outside. Then the second floor was the guest area, and it also had about twelve rooms. I will also admit to being suspicious on the number of rooms the building had. But since I had no way to prove anything I just let it be. Still all of us kids had a room of our own. However I have a feeling that some of them wouldn't be used all too often.
Reason being that Issei would probably share with Raynare, and eventually Asia when she was comfortable enough. And then there was me and Shirone, suffice it to say but I actually slept better with her. Also I've never had a nightmare once while she's been with me. So yeah I don't think we're changing that anytime soon.
Now there was the bottom floor which consisted of the dining room, kitchen something I'm looking forward to, the family room, the rec room, three studies' which I was also excited about, and also two different offices. One was for issues dealing with the supernatural. While the other was for things usually pertaining to the "natural". Oh! We also had an entertainment room, and a tea room for some reason.
We also had a basement which I practically took over, and turned into an underground dojo. I actually forced myself onto the construction force for that one. But only so I could put in my own enchantments, and seals into the framework. Just so we didn't blow up the house… I also made it sound proof, so my parents wouldn't know what was actually going on in there. As for the rest of the place I came during the night and put on my regular protection seals and whatnot. I also put in a code so that only those with a key could teleport in. And by key I mean only those, which we'll be personally giving out to those living here.
Call me paranoid but I like to be extra sure, when it comes to the safety of those I care for.
Sighing as I looked up the staircase, I heard the girls giggle about my misfortune. Ignoring them I slowly made my way up two flights of stairs. Now we had three sets of stairs not including the basement stairs. Two of them were on the sides of the house, giving access to the second and third floors. The third one was in the middle of the third floor only connecting the third and fourth floors. The stairs were designed in a spiral, conserving space while just making it look nice.
However at the moment it just made it a bit more difficult for me to ascend them. Normally I'd just use my gravity manipulation to just make them float behind me. However I didn't want my parents to walk in while I was doing that. So yeah I was forced to carry the stuff all by myself, sometimes I curse myself for being such a gentleman… Still it was lucky for me that Keno chose the first room on the right. Which was right next to the left stair case. Now the hallway of the third floor had red wall paper, with soft black carpet. However the reason Keno chose the room she did, was because it had purple wallpaper.
The carpet was also a light violet; the room was also already furnished. It had a desk and chair, a T.V., a bookcase, a rather large changing room, a huge dresser, a king-size bed which we'd have to find sheets for later, and there was also a couch right in front of the T.V. The bed also had four posts, which had privacy sheets attached to them by four wooden rods. The rods were on each side of the bed.
You know… I think the Gremory's may have over done it this time… I heard Fernus snort in agreement but stayed silent. Still I dropped off Keno's stuff, and me and Shirone left her to put things away. Next up was to find Shirone's private room. Because while we'll probably be mostly sharing mine, which I'd already set up. There would be times that she'd just like to be alone. Really that's it, because while I'd always want to be there to help her. Sometimes she'd just want to think things out on her own, and I'm fine with that. Really I feel the same way myself.
Eventually she took the room to the front of mine. Which was funny because, I didn't even say anything about that being my room. Now her room was pretty much like Keno's which was actually like mine as well. Only I had dark grey wall paper, and white carpet. Shirone ended up getting white wall paper, with red carpet. Putting down her stuff I helped unpack some of it before letting her at it.
Stepping out of her room I sighed while looking around. Quickly I made a mental note of the current rooms occupied. There were six rooms on each side of the hall, the first one on the far left had Keno. Then two rooms down on the same side was Milly's, which was followed by mine. Then on the other side of the hall four rooms down from the left was Shirone's. After that at the very end of the hall on the same side as Shirone's was Asia's. In front of it was Raynare's which had Issei's to the left of it. Which just so happened to be next to mine. Ophis would pick a room when she's able to grab all of her stuff.
Which was what she was currently doing. Seeing how Ulysses spoiled her a bit, and made her end up with a lot more stuff then him. Still there were also two bathrooms on either end of the hallway.
Seeing how the rooms were laid out made me chuckle a bit. Then stretching my back a bit I walked into my room. Looking around I nodded my head in acceptance. I had already set up the room to be like my old one. (S/N I actually made this entire house in Sims before making this chapter. Even the blasted stairs which took forever!)
Moving to my bed I laid myself down on it and began to think. It was mostly about how Ulysses, was actually able to get this whole thing to work. But then eventually my thoughts moved to Keno. In truth if I hadn't fallen for Shirone, I'd probably would've ended up with her. She was a good friend and she was there for me during the toughest time of my life.
I shook my head at that thought. But she's not Shirone, who I chose to spend the rest of my life with. Now smiling myself I closed my eyes just to rest for a bit. However after a few minutes I heard my door open, without even looking I knew who it was.
"So you're done already eh Neko Chan?" Opening my eyes to look at her I saw a small pout on her face. It seemed as if she wanted to try and sneak in, when she noticed my eyes were closed. Chuckling I moved over to the right a bit causing her to smile. Shirone then made her way over to the left side of the bed and crawled on. After moving around on it a bit she ended up snuggling into my left side. My arm was around her and her head was on my chest. We didn't really say anything but we both just enjoyed one another's presence. Feeling comforted just holding one another.
The black dragon the white cat
The Purple Enchanter
Sitting down at the table for dinner I couldn't wait to dig in. It had been quite some time since I had any of Christopher's cooking. I was almost drooling when I heard what he was making. Baked salmon with lemon bread crumbs, fresh garlic bread, wild rice, and a soy sauce salad. I sat next to my brother's right with Milly on mine. She was followed by Christopher, Koneko, that Asia girl, Issei, his parents, and the Ulysses. It was a nice dinner where we all just talked, and got to know one another.
However I did see Christopher smack Issei, when he caught him staring at me. I couldn't help but chuckle at that, knowing that my old friend hadn't changed that much. Though looking over at Christopher I do have to say that he had really grown from that strange kid, I used to drag out into the backyard with me. He also seems a lot happier than he used to be.
I guess being able to grow out from his siblings shadows must have helped. In truth while he doesn't like to admit it, he was always a bit jealous of his older siblings. Everything always seemed to come easy to either of them. Except for cooking that is. I chuckled inwardly at this thought. Mostly because the one time his sister tried cooking chicken, she ended up burning down the kitchen. And while I admit that Ulysses has improved, Christopher will always outclass him.
Still looking at him now I must say that he's not too bad on the eyes. In fact I was a little jealous of Koneko for managing to grab him first. But looking over to them I couldn't help but smile. The two of them did seem good for one another so I decided to just let them be.
However if she hurts him then she's going to have to deal with me! Shaking my head to reign in my thoughts, I went back to the meal put in front of me. Taking a bite I couldn't help but smile. Yep still like I remember it!~
After dinner everyone below the age of twenty ended up heading to the rec room, to just hangout before we all went to bed. The rec room was actually rather nice. It had a table for card and board games. A Ping-Pong table, a pool table, a pinball machine, a few recliners to just sit in, and one of those soccer game tables that I just couldn't remember the name of… Now Issei and Christopher ended up playing Ping-Pong, while Koneko and Milly went and played chess. As for me and Asia we just watched the two boys play.
However I did have to question Christopher on a few things… "So… how exactly did you and Koneko end up together?" He wacked the ball back across the table before speaking.
"Well it wasn't anything to complicated really." He hit the ball again before continuing. "We went on a date for and at the end we confessed to each other, and then we shared a kiss." Hitting the ball again he cheered as Issei missed.
Grumbling for a second Issei spoke. "Alright two out of three?" Smirking Christopher nodded his head as he served the ball. When Issei hit the ball back I glanced back at Koneko and Milly. Milly was actually winning at the moment, clearly frustrating the white haired girl.
I'll have to ask how good of a kisser he is later. Turning back to the game I was just in time to see Issei lose again. I couldn't help but laugh when he fell dramatically onto the floor. My laughter was quickly joined by Christopher, and Asia. Hearing us Koneko and Milly looked over at us in confusion, before returning to their game. For a few more minutes I watched as Issei continually lost against his brother. Not that I expected anything else, I mean Christopher's reaction time is much better than a humans.
In fact one could consider it cheating, although I guess in a way Christopher was training Issei. Basically it was reflex training in the form of a game.
However at the same time as his brother adapted, Christopher would increase the speed a little bit. Though I doubt Issei would ever figure that out. Eventually I got bored of watching Issei lose, and decided to talk to Koneko. So getting up I moved over to the table they were playing on. Looking at Koneko's face made me laugh a bit however. Currently she was scowling at the game board. But seeing the pieces left I didn't blame her. She was down to a pawn, rook, bishop, and her king. Milly however had two bishops, one knight, a rook, queen, and three pawns plus her king. Needless to say it was easy to see who was going to win.
So sitting myself down I spoke to Koneko. "Have you even played this game before?" Her response was to send a light glare my way. I laughed while bringing my arms up in surrender. However what Milly said next set me off.
"Koneko Nee Chan you're not really that good at this game. Chris Nii and Issei Nii are much harder than this." I was laughing quite hard now at the white haired girls face. Eyes twitching she turned to me before speaking in a challenging tone.
"Okay then how about you play her then?!" Shrugging with a smile I accepted.
"Sure I'll play but it will only prove how bad you are."
Five minutes later…
"Hahaha…" I laughed a bit before slumping over in defeat. I lost… and easily at that. Looking up I saw Milly's disappointed face. Really that hurt more than losing to the middle schooler.
"Keno San that was easy, you're as bad as Koneko Nee Chan." That caused us both to twitch and before we could retort, the others showed up to see what was happening. Looking over to them I could see Christopher giving us a knowing look.
I was about to say something when Issei spoke. "Ah… it seems you two chose the wrong opponent to face off against. Here let me show you how it's done." Me and Koneko blinked in unison before looking at one another and shrugging.
Fifty-five minutes later…
Me and Koneko couldn't believe what we've just seen. As it turned out living with a master strategist rubbed off on you more, than one would think. Because the chess match we just witnessed surpassed any, and all of our expectations. Sure Milly still won, but it was an extremely close game. There were only three pieces left on the board. Milly's king and a pawn turned queen and Issei's king currently in checkmate. In fact they didn't stop playing, until Issei's king was completely trapped in a corner. Still I could only imagine what would happen if they played Christopher. In fact…
"Hey Christopher why don't you play against Milly?" looking at me than to everyone else's expectant faces he shrugged before responding.
"Sure I don't see why not."
Ten minutes later…
It was a good play, but still Christopher won rather easily. However his words placated an upset Milly.
"Hey that was a pretty good game there Mil Chan.~ You've definitely gotten better. Also don't be upset I still have ten years of chess experience on you. While you've only been playing for five years." Pleased by his praise the small girl smiled brightly before responding.
"Thank you Chris Nii!~ But someday I will beat you!" Her older brother chuckled before rubbing her head affectionately. This caused her to pout but she still seemed happy.
"I'm sure you will one day Milly, but for now let me enjoy my moment as chess king." Chuckling everyone soon left to go and do other stuff for the remainder of the night. However before Koneko could get up and leave I spoke to her.
"Hey could I talk to you for a bit?" She looked at me confused but still nodded her head and sat back down. I then took a deep breath before I began my questions. "So tell me… what exactly do you like about Christopher?" Her eyes widened for a split second before she narrowed them on me.
Then when she spoke it was in a warning tone. "And why exactly do you want to know that?" Now unlike most people I'm rather honest when it comes to my feelings. And even in this situation that didn't change in the slightest. So being honest I told it to her straight.
"It's because I also like him, and I just want him to be treated nicely. He is after all my oldest friend." At my words she ended up looking at me in surprise before I continued. "I was there you know…" Her face became confused before I elaborated. "I was there the day after his parents were killed, and his sister left. I was there the day that he was so fragile… that he could've shattered at the slightest touch."
At my words she adopted a pained look. "Have you ever seen him cry?" Koneko shook her head sadly before I nodded. "I expected as much, I heard that he's never cried since. Still it hurt seeing him like that, in fact I even held him as he just cried out in anguish." I then gave her a very hard look. "So you can see why I don't want him to be hurt again. So tell me… why do you like him, and what are you going to do to heal the hole which is still in his heart?" She gave me a serious look before speaking.
"To be completely honest… I love every bit of him." I raised an eyebrow at that causing her to giggle a bit before speaking again. "Yeah I know it's a bit cliché but that's honestly what I feel. From his bright smile and red eyes, to his wonderful heart which has been hurt severely. I love how kind he is and how he goes out of his way to help others. In all honesty his looks are more of a bonus…" I couldn't help but fold my arms and nod my head in agreement with that.
This caused her to smile before gaining a determined look. "As for helping to heal his broken heart… I'll be there for him. I'll be there when he needs me the most and I'll wait until he wants to tell me what happened. Until then I'll stay by his side, no matter what happens. I love him and I'm staying with him." When she was done I couldn't help but look at her in an all new light. I knew right then that Christopher would be okay. As long as he had Koneko here.
So smiling softly I stuck out my right hand before speaking. "Alright then I guess I'm going to trust you with his well-being. Please just take care of him will ya?" looking at my proffered hand she returned my smile before shaking it.
"Yeah I promise to always be there for him."
The black dragon the white cat
The Black Dragon
I let out a content sigh as I made my way back to my room. Today was a great day, everyone got along, no one accidentally revealed anything, and Keno met my new family along with Shirone. That I was really happy about, after all Keno was one of greatest friends. She was there for me when I was at my lowest after all. However I did have to wonder why Shirone acted like she did. You see as I went to take a shower she shoved me out of the way, saying something about going first and alone this time.
That in of itself was odd, but the look on her face was rather mischievous. Still she did nothing when I eventually went in; in fact all she did was brush past me quickly. Shirone then ran to her room before locking it. Shaking my head as I thought about her strange behavior I opened my door… only to blink and have my mouth go slack at what I saw in my room. In there was Shirone only she was dressed quite differently than usual.
She was wearing a short sleeveless dress, in lolita fashion. It was mostly white in color except for some black details. The dress had a thick strap which went around her neck. It also had a low v neck that ended at the top of her stomach. The V was also outlined in black, and had a black bow at the bottom of it. It also had three crisscrossing strings going up to her collar bone. This allowed the dress to cup her breasts nicely, it also showed some of them off through the crossing. Then on her head was also a black bow tied around her right ear.
The dress's skirt was also black, with white half circles going all the way around connecting it to the top of the dress. The bottom of the skirt was also frilly and stopped about a third the way down her thigh. She was also wearing white tights that stopped around half thigh and had a black frilly end. Also on her wrists were black cloth bracelets, with white ribbons tied around them.
The dress also had a thin black line that ran around her waist, right above where the half circles curved into the skirt. Then finally she was also wearing the necklace I gave her, and was showing her Nekoshou form. And on each tail about four fifths down was another black bow on each tail. Looking at her and her heavily blushing face, I could now understand why she acted the way she did. I also noticed that she seemed a bit bigger in both height and chest. It wasn't a big difference just a centimeter in for her breasts, and an inch in height.
But it did actually help her in the look departments. Not that she wasn't beautiful before of course. Still she was five foot one now while I was also now five foot seven. So we both have grown an inch, since the time we've confessed to each other.
[Stop gawking and saith something!] That was another thing that had started to change a bit. Fernus has been talking less in old English as time has gone by. [I understand thy confusion, but still say something to our mate! Shirone's redness is becoming greater by the second!] Thanks to Fernus I snapped out of my thoughts. Still knowing that he was right I quickly thought of something.
Then smiling warmly I spoke to her. "Well I certainly didn't expect to find such a cute kitten in my room tonight." Her blush deepened as I walked towards her still talking. "Seriously Neko Chan you do look rather beautiful right now. But I have to ask the why of it?" Still blushing she answered me.
"Well I saw that Mil Chan wore lolita dresses." As she spoke she started to poke her index fingers together shyly. "And then I also saw Ophis Chan also wearing one, so… I just had a thought that maybe I should also get one. I'm glad you like it, I bought it after I realized that my other clothes were a bit smaller on me." I was right next to her at this point, and I couldn't help but reach out and scratch her ears. But with that her blush lessoned as she started purring. Really she was just too cute for her own good sometimes.
Chuckling at her response, I gently pulled her into a hug before given her a kiss. She quickly returned it and we stayed like that for a bit. But we when we pulled back, I said something which got her blushing again.
"You know I think you should dress like this more often.~" Her face was red again at her thoughts of letting everyone see her like this.
Still she gave a resolute answer. "Maybe every once and awhile…" Chuckling at her words I bent down and picked her up bridal style. "Wha! What are you doing?!" Her face was so red now that I thought it might explode from all the blood rushing to it. Instead of answering I kissed her again only deeply. Her protests and questions died quickly as she accepted the form of affection.
As I broke the kiss I made my way over to the right side of my bed, and gently laid her down on it. I was now on top of her using my arms to hold me up. It was at this time that I also noticed that her back also had crisscrossing strings, which stopped right below her shoulders.
After that the whole thing may have become a bit more. Unfortunately I felt two things go off from the connection I had with the house's seals. They were both the alarms for someone trying to break into the house, and someone teleporting in. The first to go off was the teleporting one, while the second followed shortly after. Breaking in I could sort of understand, how the teleporting was something different. Really the only people that could do that were already inside the house. So I really had no idea who was successfully doing it now. As for breaking in… well I felt as if the person was rather strong.
Seeing my annoyed face Shirone questioned me. "Chri Kun what's wrong?"
Sighing I told her. "It seems as though there are two pests trying to get inside the house. One teleporting in, and the others trying to break in." At my words Shirone also adopted a look of annoyance. She then sighed before questioning the situation.
"Well first off where is the teleports target location, and do you know who's trying to get in?" Getting off of her she sat up while I focused on the seals. After a minute I discovered the teleportee's location, but I couldn't figure out who's trying to break in.
Quickly I told my mate. "Well for some reason the person teleporting is targeting Issei's room. But I don't know of the second person, but they seem decently strong. I could still win in a fight especially since they use a black element." She nodded her head before slipping herself off the bed and speaking again.
"Well I guess I'll check out your brother's room. At the very least me and him should be able to handle that person in a fight. But I think you should take the one trying to get in, because if what you said is true you're probably the best person for the job." I nodded sadly before kissing her head and wishing her good luck. We both then exited my room before quickly going our separate ways.
Running down the stairs, I felt as if the person intruding was now outside the front door. As I reached the brown wood doors, I created a dark spear in my right hand. I then opened the right door in such a way that it was hid from view. What I saw surprised me.
Because there standing with an axe made of ice was a rather beautiful women. She was wearing a blue French maids outfit, and had silver hair done up in braids. We stared at each other before I remembered what I was doing there.
So speaking calmly I questioned her. "So… may I ask why you're trying to break into my home miss…" I purposely let my sentence fall off as she blushed and got rid of the axe.
Then composing herself she spoke. "I'm sorry to disturb you, I am Grayfia Lucifuge the Sirzechs Lucifer's queen. May I be correct in saying that you're Christopher Hyoudou?" I nodded my head before she continued. "Good that makes things simpler… Now as I know the rules we've currently established, I'm afraid this is a bit of an emergency. And I figured with Rias Sama teleporting into your house, I'd figure that an exception could be made." I blinked before questioning her.
"Okay first off I guess we can make an exception this time, if what you say is true. However I must ask how Rias, was able to get inside the house in the first place if you couldn't?"
At my question she shrugged in confusion before speaking. "I'm sorry but I don't know. I have heard Ulysses Kun talk about your ability with seals, enchantments, and wards before. And I personally just tested them out a bit right now in my haste. So I honestly don't know." Raising an eyebrow at the Kun suffix she gave my brother, I shook my head while quickly thinking.
Seeing no other way I sighed before speaking. "Alright then Ms. Lucifuge you may come in and so we can both deal with Rias. I just hope she hasn't done anything to damaging at this moment in time…"

The White Cat (five minutes earlier)
After parting from Chris I immediately went to Issei's room. As I reached his room door I quietly opened the door very slowly. What I saw… was not what I expected. In fact I couldn't help but open the door all the way and question the intruder.
"What are you doing here Buchou?!" Both a striping Rias and Issei both froze as they turned to see my shocked face. Although Issei was wearing a white shirt and pajama pants. Rias was just about to start taking off her school uniforms top. Still all three of us just stared at one another before Rias broke the silence.
Pulling down her shirt she questioned me. "Uh… Koneko what are you wearing?" I couldn't help but blush while hugging myself, seeing how I forgot what I was wearing in the confusion.
"Thi-this isn't important right now." I then schooled my features and glared at Rias before continuing to question her. "However my question still stands. What are you doing, and more importantly how did you make it inside? Chris Kun warded, and sealed the entire place against both attacks and teleportation. The only exception are those with keys." It was at this point that Issei started whistling innocently. Which never really had anything innocent about it.
This quickly made me glare and question him. "Issei San… please don't tell me you gave Buchou a key without your brother's permission." At his words he chuckled before rubbing the back of his head. But if that wasn't a big enough clue his words confirmed my suspicions.
"Yeah… she asked for one so I just decided to give her one earlier this week. It was after I told her about the kinds of wards Chris, would probably put on the place." I sighed while pinching the bridge of my nose.
Then looking up I spoke in a stern tone. "Now Issei San you're lucky it was just Buchou. If it was someone completely random than Chris Kun would definitely hurt you." He gulped at my words but I wasn't done yet. "Still I have no doubt you'll be punished for this. Now it isn't like I don't trust my king, it's just Chris Kun values our safety greatly. So seeing someone seemingly bypass all his protective measures easily, really worried him greatly. Luckily I was with him so we could split between the disturbance up here, and the one happening right below. Still please learn from this… he really was worried you know."
Both now looked a bit guilty of my words before Rias gained a look of realization. She then turned to me with a questioning look. Looking back at her confused face, I was about to ask what was wrong before she spoke first.
"Koneko Chan… why were you in Christopher San's room dressed like that?" Now blushing again I stammered out a few things before Issei spoke.
"Oh they usually share a room together now a days. But I guess the dress is a bit new, although I wonder what I'd look like on Raynare and Asia…" Rias' eyes widened at his words, and was about to question me. Luckily though Chris came to my rescue before the questioning started.
"I hope we're not interrupting something up here?" Turning around I let out a sigh of relief, before noticing to my surprise that Grayfia was right behind him. Unfortunately she too saw my new outfit and quickly questioned it.
"What are you wearing Toujou San?" At this point I didn't know what overcame me as I retorted her question.
"Hey like your clothes are any better! You're dressed like a French maid!" At my words everyone just stared at me in shock. I also was in shock of what I just said, after all Grayfia held the title of the strongest queen for a reason. However luckily for me just seeing me yell at her was enough for to make her skip right over me.
"Umm… well yes I see your point." She then turned to Rias as I mentally prayed to Chris, who was a dragon god for sparing me. As I did this I notice him shiver a bit before he whispered something I couldn't hear. However before I could question him Grayfia started speaking.
"Now Rias Sama I must ask that you not try to solve things in this manner. It is shameful of someone of your standing. Even if this boy here is the brother of a dragon god." Rias stomped her foot before talking back.
"Sorry but I have a right to give myself to whoever I deem worthy!" I couldn't help but blink at this.
Rias was about to let Issei take her purity? I guess she could've chosen worse. Still the fact that she even attempted this was rather worrisome to me.
"Buchou just what exactly is going on here?" Pausing in her argument with Grayfia she turned to me with a sad smile.
"I'm sorry Koneko Chan, I promise to tell you later." She then turned back to Grayfia as she spoke to her.
"Rias Sama I came to come and get you." Rias sighed before questioning her.
"Just who sent you to get me? Yourself, my brother, or the rest of my family?"
Grayfia immediately answered with a slight smile. "All of them." Seeing this Rias also smiled a bit before asking her one last question.
"Can I at least bring Akeno with me?" The ultimate queen thought for a moment before nodding her head.
"Yes you can bring the lightning priestess." Nodding her head in thanks Rias turned to Issei before speaking to him.
"I'm sorry about this Issei can you just forget that this happened?" He looked at her in worry before nodding his head; she then kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you Issei." My king then turned to me while narrowing her eyes. "As for you Koneko… we'll need to talk a bit later." Now while I knew she was just looking after me. I was a bit indignant as I spoke back.
"What I do in my free time is my own business. However I'll assure you this isn't messing with my duties, however you keeping secrets like this is messing with them. So forgive me if I decide to not answer all of your questions." Again everyone was a bit speechless, except for Chris who spoke to everyone calmly.
"Settle down everyone, it's late and I bet everyone's a bit tired. So we can just discuss everything in the clubroom tomorrow okay?" At his words everyone sighed but still nodded their heads. But with that Rias and Grayfia were off. However my mate still turned to glare at his brother.
He then spoke with some spite. "So Issei… would you mind telling me how Rias got inside?" Issei started sweating before telling him the same thing he told me. However he also said something else.
"Christopher I'm sorry for giving her a key without asking. At the time I didn't think how it'd affect you. I know you worry about us constantly, so for that I am sorry." Issei than hung his head in shame causing Chris to give him a sad look before speaking.
"Issei it is fine just do not do it again." Issei quickly perked up at this but then paled at what his brother said next. "However don't think you'll be getting off scot-free! You have any idea how worried I was?! I mean I even sent Koneko to check up on you! So for the next two weeks you'll have to train for an extra two hours… daily!" With his piece said my mate then left the room. Looking back at Issei I couldn't help but give him a look of pity before leaving.
Quickly I followed Chris back to his room and watched him sigh in exhaustion. Smiling to myself I walked to his left side and look up while gently cupping his cheek. I then spoke in a seductive tone.
"So… where did we leave off my mighty dragon.~" This made him look at me before grinning and picking me up again. However this time I didn't protest as he spoke.
"I'm not sure my kitten, but I do know where we are going…" Smiling I wrapped my arms around his neck before speaking again.
"Well then I hope I'll enjoy the trip.~"
The black dragon the white cat
The Black Dragon
Sighing as I knocked on the clubroom door, I took a step back while I waited. Now while last night had been a wonderful night, marking the second time we did anything like that. It still made me rather tired.
Speaking of tired… I looked back at Shirone who seemed asleep on her feet. Currently she was still wearing her dress from last night. However I had given her my coat for the time being, so no one would stare as we made our way here. She had said that she was willing to wear it inside of buildings. But she wasn't comfortable enough to walk around on the streets yet. But she still insisted on wearing it for the day. So even though it was a little big on her seeing how it was supposed to grow along with me. My coat was still able to cover her up.
But based on her expression, it seemed as though she really like wearing my coat. When I asked all she said this…
"It just feels as if you're holding me in your arms. So I just feel safe wearing this." I was surprised at her words, not the holding me in your arms part. That made sense, since the coat is made from my scales. No I was surprised that she felt so safe around me. Still this only made me determined to actually always keep her safe. Though I must say that's she's changed quite a bit since our first date. While before she was soft spoken except when truly angry or sad. Now she was rather yelling at people like Grayfia and even Rias.
While before she was rather stoic and didn't show much emotion. Now she allowed most of what she was feeling to be seen! And to be completely honest… I love every bit of this new Shirone!~ In fact it just made me happy that her broken heart is slowly healing. It really did make me happy to see her like this, made me believe that I really was helping her to be her true self again. Her true self that I saw every time she smiled, or laughed. Really it was pretty nice.
Hearing the door open I looked from Shirone to see Akeno in her school uniform. At her clothes I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in confusion.
It's like these are the only clothes they wear or something… Still she looked at those of us waiting outside. Currently it was me, Ulysses who had a bruised face, Issei, and Asia. Keno and Juda decided to not show up. Not that I could blame them, they didn't even know who Rias and the others were. Though why Ulysses was bruised is a pretty easy question to answer. You see I did it to him after making a lewd comment towards Shirone. What was worse was that my dear sweet innocent Milly was there. So really… what else was I supposed to do?
Still after looking at Shirone for a bit Akeno eventually let us in. Kiba and Rias were already inside along with Grayfia. Who already got permission from Ulysses to be here. Eventually we all sat down on the couches. Well me, Issei, and the girls did. Ulysses was smooth talking Grayfia, and like usual it was working. Now say what you want, but he really did know how to talk to the ladies if he really wants to. Still Shirone had taken off the coat, and was now sitting in my lap nervously. She then did something that surprised everyone; she let out her Nekoshou form.
At everyone's stares, she snuggled deeper into my chest trying to hide herself. Smiling at her actions I place my right arm around her waist, while rubbing her head with my left. Thankfully this was enough to calm her down a bit.
Now I knew everyone wanted to question her, however her nervousness was enough to make everyone back off for now. However Rias was giving me an appraising look, as if I pulled off a miracle. Still eventually Grayfia stopped speaking to Ulysses to talk to Rias.
"Now that everyone's here do you want to explain, or do you want me to?" Rias shook her head before speaking.
"No I'll tell them myself." She then took a deep breath before continuing. "The truth is…" She was interrupted by what looked like a glowing sigil on the ground.
"The clan of Phenex…" Looking up I saw Kiba scowling at the crest. But with what came out of it I really couldn't blame him.
"Ahh! The human world it's been a while since I've come here. The air is still as filthy as I remember it!" The man who came in was a tall young man in his early 20's with short blonde hair and dark blue eyes. His outfit consisted of a burgundy blazer with gold embroidery and with matching pants and black dress shoes. Underneath his open blazer is a white dress shirt that is not fully buttoned, giving a slight view to his chest.
And already I could tell that I wouldn't like this man in fact I quickly spoke out to him. "And mark one offence down possibly three." This caused him to scowl before looking at me. However at the same time he spotted Shirone, and licked his lips causing my mate to shutter. At this I spoke again with narrowed eyes. "And we're up to offence number two." He just scowled before turning to Rias and smiling. Although it wasn't a friendly one, more like one would have if they discovered a gold mine.
Already I knew that this guy was trouble, but luckily he already had two offences. One where he teleported into town without calling ahead, and making sure that he could. The second one was when he looked Shirone lecherously. Now while we didn't have a rule like that in place, and a good thing to since I'd already be bound and thrown out… that didn't mean that I liked the look he gave her. It was if he was completely willing to take her against her will. Though I might be bias that was enough for me to give him another strike.
And as you may have guessed once someone reaches three they are either kicked out of town. However with already breaking a major law by coming here without invitation… well I was just looking for the right time to collect.
However judging by the way this guys acted already… I have no doubt that third strike is coming soon. However what he said next shocked all of us.
"Rias my dear I've come to take you back to the underworld as my bride!~" Everyone who didn't know just stared before yelling out as one.
"""WHAT!"""
Omake Five: Kiba don't do it!
The Spectator
When Shirone opened up the door she was surprised to see…
"Kiba! What are you doing in here?!" Currently she was looking at an attempted assignation attempt by the blonde haired boy. Currently Issei had a bump on his head and was knocked out. While Kiba had a two edged sword in his hands pointing the tip down at Issei's heart. Kiba for his part looked at her confused before turning to Issei. His eyes widened as he realized what he was about to do. He then dematerialized the sword before speaking.
"By the Maou! What was I doing?!" Shirone was about to answer sarcastically but he kept talking. "This isn't the one who wrote the note! Modaga lied to me!" At this moment Shirone had no idea who this Modaga was. But she did know that Kiba would need professional help soon. His actions were just getting ridiculous. However before she could do anything he disappeared in a black vortex. Blinking hard she rubbed her eyes before speaking out loud.
"I believe I am too tired to be thinking straight… I mean it's not like Kiba was actually here right?"
Back with Kiba he was currently kneeling down before Modaga. "Master why did you send me to the wrong person?! I thought you were supposed to help me find the one who ruined me, before I started serving you?" At his questions the God of Chaos just smiled before speaking.
"Be calm my new servant, for as I said I would send you to the place near where your enemy lies." Kiba's eyes widened before yelling out in realization.
"Then that means my enemy is either in that house, in one of the surrounding houses! Thank you my lord! May chaos forever march forward." With his piece said Kiba teleported away, right after Modaga sighed in relief.
"Phew! I thought he'd see through that act soon enough." He then grimaced before continuing to talk out loud. "Still… I just hope that he never realizes that the girl who slapped him originally was me. I mean would any girl from that school actually believe such a note? Surely not, but oh well… it was still fun to mess with the swordsman."

Now for omake guys…
All colors equally mastered: Modaga
List will be cleared for characters only shown in current chapter's next chapter.
Dragon ranking system: Ophis?, White?, Black third, Red third, Green fourth, Blue fifth
Modaga: Mwahahahaha! Now that's how one broadens chaos!
Shadow: And this is why I didn't want him here! He's way to unstable!
Kiba: But he's my new master of chaos! You can't just insult him!
Slayer: But he is unstable…
Judan: Yeah! But I'll say this now me and Kiba are minion buddies!
Modaga: Hurray for minions!
Shadow: Oh my gosh…
Slayer: Well ignoring that for now let's do a small recap.
Shadow: Ulysses managed to get the town and set up ground rules. Juda shows up with Keno, who moved into the mansion along with everyone else.
Judan: Keno confesses to loving Christopher as well, but will support Shirone and Chris as long as they're happy together.
Slayer: She then tells Shirone a little bit more of his past, after which Shirone explains why she loves him.
Judan: Christopher is then cocked blocked and then solves an issue with Rias.
Shadow: After which they go to the club room the next day, only to learn about Riser Phenex. Who will mostly likely be killed by Christopher out of spite.
Modaga: Quite the busy chapter… Still another thing is the with Christopher's support Shirone is coming out of her shell. And since she's a Nekoshou…
Judan: Yeah her playful cat nature, and other things like that are starting to manifest.
Slayer: Yep… to be honest I kind of based her behavior off of how she acted when she started showing some interest in Issei. Only this is more pronounced thanks to the events which have already taken place before this chapter. In fact if you've noticed I've been slowly making my way up to this point.
Shadow: Yep but we're still a few chapters off before she attempts to truly face her fears. But in the meantime we're done here.
Modaga: Alright so who wants to go this time?
Shadow: I'll do it… now this has been a Dark Guard production signing off!
Everyone: Goodbye!
