Guest: Well I assume you won't be reading any further.

merendinoemiliano: Like I said in the PM Sirzechs and Serafall are beings capable of destroying countries and they had to hold back so that a hotel won't crumble to the ground. And If Itachi ever gets the rinnegan it won't be the same way Sasuke got his and it will be in the final arc.

JAKEkenstein: Interesting, thanks for the suggestion.

Shu Ouma GC: LOL! Maybe they should have.

The Big Pickle: Huh, well good for you. And thanks for the suggestions.

Harambe: Yep!

KnightOfHypocris: I'm not about to argue with you over where Itachi should have ended up. And most of the Uchiha clan, almost everyone, was or used to be a shinobi since it was kind of expected for every Uchiha to become a shinobi. And they all would have participated in the Coup, and it wouldn't have mattered since even if Itachi hadn't killed them Danzo and his Root shinobi's would have done it instead.

NoToItachiStu: First of all, my user name is Michael Shadow, not Michael Shadows. Second of all, Itachi could easily kill Sasori. Even though Sasori is smart and powerful he has nothing in his arsenal that poses a threat to Itachi(besides the poison) nor anything Itachi can't counter. Also for the last time, Izanagi is an Uchiha genjutsu no Senju DNA is required to use it, only to use it to its max potential! According to Itachi multiple Uchiha's used Izanagi and I seriously doubt all of them had fucking Senju DNA! Also before you judge, get your facts straight! At the beginning of "The Demon Eyes of Fairy Tail" when Itachi was sick he was able to use 40% of his power not 30%, also when he fought Sasori Wendy had helped with his sickness making him able to use 60%! And do you seriously think anyone, in the beginning time of Fairy Tail is able to take on Itachi even though he's sick?! Also here is a fact! No one in the Fairy Tail series besides Erza, and possibly Zeref and Mavis has anyway of resisting Itachi's sharingan genjutsu. And the only ones who are able to challenge Itachi's Susano'o is Acnologia, Igneel and most of the dragons thanks to they're destructive power. So basically, everyone in Fairy Tail in a one on one fight against Itachi (healthy) cannot defeat him! The only ones that can even challenge Itachi (healthy, remember we don't know how much his strength, stamina and chakra reserves were lowered by his sickness, from what we saw Itachi's sickness affected his heart and possibly his lungs and people tend to lose a huge amount of stamina and strength if that is the case.) and has the best chance to win, is Acnologia, Igneel, and Zeref. Natsu can't cause he will be so stupid that he will look Itachi in the eyes while fighting and he would lose! And even if he had the information about Itachi's eyes he would probably be to confused about it to even bother to understand! So, a sick Itachi in the beginning time of Fairy Tail (first arc-Battle of Fairy Tail) were the biggest enemies are Laxus, Jellal, Jose. Whom are all around Wizard Saint level and in my opinion could all be defeated by Kakashi in part 1, whom Itachi dominated in a fight when he was sick (proof, Itachi confirms he and Jiraiya are equal, later in the third databook which takes place when Itachi dies confirms they are still equal, and when he only uses the clone thing Kakashi still needs help from Naruto to beat him and this clone only had 30% of Itachi's chakra). And this is called Fanfiction! If you don't like it, then don't read it! It's that fucking simple!

Also, regards from Damien Falls: You're probably a fucking Sakuratard… your dick is probably small to! XOXO Damien Falls.

Turddirt: Here you go!

Dat boi: Huh, wondered where you were.

Guest: Thanks for saying this and all, but I have to say this. Sasori is by no means the second weakest. Deidara even confirmed that Sasori is much more of a dangerous opponent than he is. And Hidan is definitely weaker than Sasori (without Kakuzu there to help him, he would most likely lose his head). In the Third Databook Sasori has higher stats then both Kakuzu and Kisame (although Kisame could still beat him, and since the Third Databook was from the start of shippuden and until Itachi's death.) Kisame is most likely possibly stronger than Sasori since he hadn't shown his full power during that time.

Dlite12345: I already sent you a PM.

Guest: If you had read until this you might have thought differently.

Chapter 12: Gremory vs Sitri!

Through a dark portal leaped out the black haired nekomata and the descendent of the monkey king, followed by the reincarnated Uchiha. In front of them stood Vali, a young man with blond hair with a strand of hair across his face, and he was dressed in a business suit, this was Arthur Pendragon a member of Team Vali, and hiding behind him was a slim cute foreign girl with shoulder length blond hair and blue eyes, her clothing consisted of a sorceress like dress with a huge blue hat with a black bow and yellow stars with a matching cape decorated with pink flowers and a white interior, this was Le Fay Pendragon, Arthur's little sister.

"Your back." Vali said and eyed the Uchiha. "Why did you bring him?"

"Well, we went there together, so we escaped together." Bikou replied with a grin.

"Nya, we still didn't get to bring Shirone." Kuroka pouted.

"In other words, you failed." Arthur said with a motionless expression.

"Well… it wasn't an official mission so technically we didn't fail anything." Bikou spoke.

"It was a mission for me." Itachi said and looked over to Bikou. "Take me back to my teams base, would you?"

"Agh! I'm too tired, can't we do it tomorrow." Bikou yawned.

"… Are you serious right now?" Itachi twitched his eyes in annoyance at the lazy monkey king.

"Umm, Itachi-sama was it?" Le Fay peaked her head out from behind her brother. "You could just stay here the night… I'm sure your teammates wouldn't be worried if you just called them..." The girl suggested nervously at the intense aura Itachi was releasing.

"Sama? Who is this girl?" Itachi questioned not really comfortable being addressed as "sama".

"She's my little sister." Arthur replied stepping in front of his little sister, acting a little bit defensive.

"Hn, don't worry I have no intension of stealing her from you." Itachi assured the older brother. "Anyway, to answer your question miss…"

"L-Le Fay, Le Fay Pendragon." Le Fay replied.

"Le Fay-san, I have no time to sit around and wait. I have a lot of work to do which cannot wait." Itachi said and turned back to the monkey king. "So, send me back to my team's base."

"Aw man, fine, fine." Bikou walked over to Itachi, he span his staff over his head and then slammed it to the floor creating a dark portal beneath him. And then they slowly vanished through it.

"Feel free to ask for my assistance anytime by the way." Itachi said to Team Vali before he vanished along with Bikou.

Shinobi Faction base

A dark portal opened in front of the gates of a giant Victorian mansion that belongs to Fujiwara Uzumaki of the Shinobi Faction. "Thanks again." Itachi said and stepped out from the portal.

"Yeah don't mention it, see ya when I see ya!" Bikou waved with a wide grin as he vanished through the portal.

Itachi entered the main gate of the mansion and walked up to the living room on the second floor. When he entered the living room he saw Jin passed out by the bar with several bottles around the counter, Fujiwara sat on the couch reading a book. "I see that you returned as well, did you succeed?" Fujiwara asked.

"Yes, barely, what about you?" Itachi asked.

"Wasn't too difficult we both got our scrolls and took down any enemies that stood in our way, same with Hana. By the way, somethings been kind of strange with the scrolls lately." Fujiwara closed his book and walked up to Itachi. "Lately they have all been moved from all three factions. Those who were in Heaven have been moved to a few places on Earth, those in the Underworld owned by the Fallen Angels have been hidden in the bases with Kokabiel loyalists, and those the Devils control have been hidden in areas with corrupt devils. Do you find this all strange?"

"Perhaps they decided to hide them where we would least expect looking." Itachi replied motionlessly.

"Seems like it." Fujiwara sighed and rubbed his temple

"Where are the others?" Itachi questioned as only he, Jin and Fujiwara were in this room.

"Hana is taking a shower after her mission, and I have sent Shiro and Mako to track the locations of the scrolls that the Three Factions have re-located. Until they get back we can't go look for other scrolls." Fujiwara replied and went back to the couch.

"May I ask what you guys found?" Itachi asked.

"Jin found information on a Jutsu known as Kirin that was invented by Sasuke Uchiha, your former little brother if I'm not mistaken. Hana found some information about a taijutsu move known as the Eight Gates. As for me… I found these." Fujiwara pointed to a pile of books that looked all too familiar to Itachi the title was "Make out Tactics" seeing this made Itachi remember a certain masked silver haired ninja that used to read them, and the perverted sannin whom used to write them. "I have no idea why they were even sealed up in one of these scrolls…" Fujiwara said as he was actually reading one of the books. "Oh my, what a plot twist." Fujiwara mumbled and kept reading.

"How did these even get in here?" Itachi questioned.

Flashback: Before the fall of the Shinobi world

An old Kakashi held a pile of books in his right arm while he supported himself with a cane on his left hand. The full moon shined upon him as he fell on his knees. "Must… give the future generation… these works of art…!" Old man Kakashi opened a scroll and placed the pile of books in them and the performed a few hand seals. "Seal!" The books then vanished in a puff of smoke. "Okay, now to hide them." Kakashi said when suddenly a bird flew down and swopped the scroll out of his hands. "NO!"

Several years later

After the fall of the ancient Shinobi world, Angels and Devils began looking for artifacts that these powerful humans left behind. One Fallen Angel was walking around the forest and came over a fallen tree with a bird nest containing a scroll. "I found one!" The Fallen Angel was a young Azazel, he picked up the scroll and regrouped with the others.

Flashback end

"Oh, what a pleasant surprise…" Fujiwara uttered with a faint blush as he kept reading the book.

Itachi seeing this sweat dropped, he then took out his own scroll. 'Please be something useful.' Itachi thought and opened it and performed the hand seals. "Release!" The scroll released a puff of smoke and revealed a note as well as something written on the scroll. He read what was on the scroll first. "This is the Second Hokage's Flying Raijin huh now that's useful." Itachi then read the note which made him pale. "T-The Sexy Jutsu? Why is this in here?"

Flashback

The former Hokage Naruto was inside a room filled with scrolls and took the one with the information on the Flying Raijin. "Now tou-san and Lord Second's jutsu will be remembered for future generations. I should also include the jutsu that saved the world. Future generations will need this master piece! Dattebayo"

Flashback end

"P.S this helped saved the world. P.P.S Use the reverse version in case you encounter a powerful female and be sure to take advantage of the Shadow Clones while doing this jutsu. P.P.P.S I just wanted to say that! Dattebayo!" Itachi read the end of the note and sweat dropped. "Naruto…"

"Hey what did you find?" Fujiwara asked and looked up from his interesting book. "Flying Raijin? Huh, sounds useful, is it?" Fujiwara asked and Itachi nodded. "What's that note?" Fujiwara questioned.

"It's from your ancestor, I think this should belong to you." Itachi gave Fujiwara the note whom looked at it with a puzzled expression.

"Sexy Jutsu? Wait, what?" The Uzumaki questioned as he read the rest of the note.

"I'm going to bed, night." Itachi stretched his arms out and went into his room. When Itachi went into his room he took of his Akatsuki robe and just laid down in his bed and closed his eyes. 'The rating game between Rias and Sona is coming up… I should sneak in and see just how strong they have all grown, see if they are close enough to the level I need them to be at.' Itachi thought and let out a small sigh. 'Heh, I kind of expect to wake up with Rias or Akeno laying naked on top of me, guess I have gotten used to that…' Itachi thought with a small smile that faded as he began thinking about everything they have had to go through because of him. He swore that when they day came he would find a way to make things right. Itachi then drifted off to sleep.

A few days later

Itachi was in the living room dressed in a black hoodie decorated with a silver lines in the shape of a Chinese Dragon's head, dark blue jeans, and white sneakers, he also wore sunglasses. "Where are you going?" Jin asked as it looked like he had slept by the bar counter all night.

"I'm going to watch the Rating Game between Gremory and Sitri." Itachi replied.

"Why?" Jin questioned looking confused.

"They swore that they would one day beat me and get back Itachi Hyoudou, I intend to let them one day try so that I can test my ability and finally get full control of this body. Once I kill them my other self will lose his fighting spirit. So, I'm going to check on their progress." Itachi said with a motionless expression, he was really confident in his ability to lie.

"Fine, do what you want." Jin sighed while scratching the back of his head. "I couldn't care less."

"I will be back once the Game is over." Itachi said and summoned a crow. "Yukino, open the portal." Itachi ordered as the crow transformed into the tall slim, beautiful black haired Crow Queen Yukino whom looked at her master with her big black eyes, and as always she was dressed in her black coat decorated with black crow feathers.

"As you wish, Itachi-sama." Yukino created a magic circle beneath herself and Itachi and they vanished in a flash of light.

The Underworld

Itachi and Yukino arrived through a magic circle in a back alley right outside of where the audience gathered for the game. "Thanks, Yukino, you may leave now."

"Yes, Itachi-sama… Itachi-sama, you know I will serve you no matter what. But please tell me you have no plan of dying like you did last time." Yukino said with pleading puppy dog eyes.

"You have nothing to worry about, I'm not going to make the same mistake twice. I will just make sure they grow stronger nothing more, then we can go back to them." Itachi assured his trusty partner.

"Thank you, Itachi-sama!" Yukino smiled happily and hugged Itachi pushing her large chest up against him while she rubbed her cheek up against his chest. She then kissed him on the cheek before giving him a playful smile and turning back into a crow and flying away.

Itachi let out a sigh. "She never changes." Itachi placed his hood over his head covering his face and then he blended in with the crowd of people here to see the Rating Game.

With Issei and the others

Azazel-sensei was discussing with us about strategy for the upcoming Game with the Student Council President. Azazel-sensei then began writing something on the white board.

"The Rating Game classifies players into different particular fighting-types. Power, technique, wizard, support. Out of these Rias is a Wizard-type. The type that is superior in magic in general, so to speak. Akeno-san is the same. Kiba is a Technique-type. He fights with speed and technique. Xenovia is a Power-type that excels in the area of speed. A player that aims for a one-hit-certain-kill. Asia and Gasper are Support-types. Also, if you classify them with even more detail, Asia is closer to a Wizard-type, while Gasper is closer to a Technique-type. Koneko is a Power-type. And lastly, Issei. You're also a Power-type. However, you're also good at being a Support-type as well. With your Gift power." Azazel explained.

Issei was bewildered by everything he had to try and remember, but he basically understood the concept and what type he was and what it meant. He watched as Azazel began to draw a chart with the different types and the names of everyone in our group. But Issei began wondering about something and raised his hand. "Sensei!"

"Yes, Issei?"

"What type is nii-san?" Issei asked hoping that knowing what type Itachi was could help him fight him in the future.

"Your brother and Itachi Uchiha have the same types. To answer your question, he is a Technique-type, a Wizard-type, and a Power-type. He has immense speed and a great fighting style and technique and his illusions are what puts him on Technique-type. He has great control over his elements which are fire, water, and wind. But his main one is fire which is what puts him at Wizard-type. And his Susano'o grants him incredible defense and destructive power, which is why his also a Power-type although this type is also his weakest since his Susano'o drains so much energy that he can't keep it up for long. But he makes up for it with his skills and intellect and that he tends to finish a fight as quickly as possible. This is at least what I managed to gather from your brother while he was still in control, and the records left behind after the fall of the Shinobi." Azazel replied as everyone listened closely on this subject of Itachi.

"Could you give me these records you speak of?" Rias asked as she wanted to find a strategy to somehow beat Itachi Uchiha.

"I will show them to you after the game, in the meantime let's return to our other discussion." Azazel said and went back to the different types. "The thing that Power-types have to be most careful of are counters. A troublesome class among Technique-types, is the counter ability. Itachi even used a counter against Sirzechs and Serafall at the party, and even at you with that gunbai of his." Azazel said looking at Issei.

Flashback

Issei in his Balance Breaker charged at Itachi with his fist raised that was letting out a powerful energy. Issei swung his fist towards Itachi whom blocked it with his gunbai. "Uchiha Reflection!" The force of Issei's punch reflected back at him sending him flying back.

Flashback end

Issei clenched his fist remembering that day, he gritted his teeth in frustration, but what happened on that day made Issei push harder with his training same for everyone else.

Azazel then continued his explanation. "There are counter-types even among the Sacred Gears, but when fighting an opponent who carries one, power-types like Issei, Koneko and Xenovia can have their situations turned around by a single counter blow. It's because counters return the opponent's power to them plus the power of the one who counters. When one is strong, it's natural for there to be damage just as strong."

"I-I see, it certainly is scary when your attack is returned to you. If the power of my Balance Breaker state in particular was countered, it would cause damage to not only me, but my friends as well." Issei said

"If there's a counter, I just have to overcome it with power." Xenovia said bravely. But Azazel shook his head.

"It's possible to overcome it with that, but it's another story when your opponent it a genius in that field. Avoid getting attacked as much as possible. It's better to face counter-users with the spell-user Akeno, the technique-user Kiba or Gasper with his special vampire abilities. Everything is a matter of compatibility. Power-types are simply strong. But the risk is big for them when fighting against a Technique-types." Azazel finished explaining and they all had the motivation to win.

With Itachi in the stadium

Itachi whom was in his disguise sat along with the rest of the common spectators as they looked at the big hologram of the battlefield were the two teams arrived. Everyone besides Asia and Xenovia were dressed in their school uniform, while Asia had he nun outfit and Xenovia had her black bondage-like battle outfit.

The area where Rias and her group ended up in was a wide restaurant, as it was a fast food restaurant inside a local shopping mall. 'They used the department store near Kuoh Academy as the stage? Unexpected.' Itachi thought as he paid close attention.

"Everyone, I the Queen of the Lucifer group, Grayfia, will be carrying the role of arbiter in the Rating Game between the Gremory group and the Sitri group on this occasion."

'This brings back memories from the Rating Game against Raiser.' Itachi thought slightly wishing he could join his friends on the battlefield.

"In the name of my master, Sirzechs Lucifer, I will watch over the battle between these two families. It's a pleasure to be here. To get right to the main topic, the battlefield for today is the department store within the neighborhood of the school Kuoh Academy that Rias-sama and Sona-sama attend which has been prepared within separate space as the game field. Both groups have been transported to their respective bases. Rias-sama's base is on the second floor of the east side, while Sona-sama's base is on the first floor of the west side. In order for Pawns to promote, please go to your opponent's bases. This time, there will be special rules. Documents on this have been sent to each group, so please check them. A single bottle of healing item Phoenix Tears has been provided to each team. Furthermore, the time to strategies before the battle is thirty minuets. Contact with the opponent during this time is forbidden. The game is scheduled to start after thirty minuets. Then, let the strategy time begin."

Now Itachi knew why so many seats around him was empty, most of the audience must be buying some snacks or whatever in the meantime. 'Judging by the battlefield I assume they can't destroy the battlefield considering it's an indoor battle, meaning various of them are at a disadvantage. Issei's Boosted Gear almost has nothing but destructive power, Akeno would have to hold back on her lightning ability, Xenovia would also have to hold back the destructive force of Durandal.' Itachi thought when he suddenly saw in the hologram Gasper holding some glasses. 'Looks like Gasper is not allowed to use his Sacred Gear, how troublesome. Looks like they could have had really good use of my abilities right now, I feel bad that I can't help them, although there is that but I don't think it will come to it.' Itachi thought as time went on, and soon thirty minutes had passed.

"It is time to begin. Furthermore, the time limit for this game will be a blitz-style of three hours. Then without further ado, game start."

Itachi saw the look on both Rias and Sona's faces from the hologram screens and they were filled with fighting spirit. Xenovia and Kiba divided up to one group while Issei and Koneko divided up to another. 'Sona claims to be smarter than Rias, let's see if it's true.' Itachi thought when to his surprise Koneko grew cat ears on her head and a tail sticking out from her behind. 'Looks like she's not that afraid of her power anymore.' Itachi smiled a little when he noticed Issei staring at Koneko with a lewd face. And of course, he can't resist a Neko loli, even though he didn't have a loli-fetish and neither did Itachi, but even he had to admit it was cute. 'It's a good thing though, she will be able to detect any enemy forces with her senjutsu,'

Suddenly Saji came swinging down on a rope like Tarzan and was about to knee kick Issei. "Hyoudou! The first attack is ours!" Saji shouted as Issei blocked the knee kick with his gauntlet Issei shook a little from the impact. On Saji's back was a girl whom looked like to be a first year. Saji also had connected a black snake like line from his gauntlet to Issei's gauntlet. And it looked as if Issei had another line tied around his right arm, but it didn't come from Saji rather it looked as if it was tied to something far away.

Issei looked to be filled with fighting spirit, he must have really wanted to go up against Saji. Itachi kept watching the game, and then noticed something.

"Rias Gremory-sama's Bishop, retired."

'Poor Gasper, he didn't stand a chance against that… although it's the oldest trick in the book on how to deal with vampires. Garlic, turns out to be very much affective. As Sona's group had managed to lure Gasper whom was doing recon with his bats, but when all the bats gather in one area they reverted back to Gasper, and near the place where he reverted, where the Sona's group had lured him, was garlic. Sona used the advantage that the grocery store was on her floor.

Issei looked so angry that he wanted to use his Sacred Gear, but if he did that Saji would just steal his power. This was quite the pickle for Issei. 'I wonder what you will do little brother, how will you overcome this obstacle?' Itachi thought with a smile.

Issei seemed to try and draw back but was pulled by the line making him lose a little balance. "Are you running away Hyoudou?!" Saji grinned.

The space between them shortened and Saji delivered a kick to Issei's abdomen. Luckily for Issei with all his physical training it barely did any damage. Issei then tried to attack Saji directly with his fist raised, but then suddenly Saji fired another line, it flew past Issei and attached itself on a store's light. "Nimura! Put on the sunglasses we got at the store just before!" Saji shouted and both him and his kouhai put on sunglasses that they pulled out from their pockets.

Issei looked puzzled when suddenly the store lighting issued a blazing light that blinded Issei and Koneko. Saji used this opportunity to deliver some punch and kicks at Issei that did some damage from the looks of it. 'Saji's far more resourceful than I thought.' Itachi was actually surprised.

Saji then tried to fire a magic bullet at Issei whom managed to roll over to the side just in time, leaving a big hole in the floor from the blast. "Not bad, Saji." Issei said.

"Hyoudou. I'm serious. I'm going to defeat you." Saji declared and shot another magic bullet at Issei whom dodged resulting in a store getting blown up.

'That was my favorite dango shop…' Itachi thought almost feeling like punching both of them, but calmed down remembering it wasn't real.

But something that was strange is that Saji is supposed to have almost as bad magic power as Issei, yet he was able to fire such a powerful blast. Itachi then noticed there was a line attached to Saji's heart. "I see, so that's how it is." Itachi muttered.

"Saji! You! Are converting your own life-force… into magic power?!" Issei questioned having also figured it out.

Saji smiled. "That's right. With my low magic, this is the only way for me to shoot powerful attacks. I convert my life-force into magic power using my Sacred Gear's ability. It's just as you see. I'm risking my life, as it were."

"Do you really intend to die…?!"

"Yeah, I intend to die. I intend to beat you with the intention of dying. Do you understand our frustration, having our dream laughed at! Do you understand our desperation as we believe in our dream? This battle is being broadcast across the entire Underworld. We have to show the seriousness of the Sitri group in of those guys that laughed at us!"

Issei looked down while clenching his fists. "Yeah, I understand. My dream is as following to become Harem King. But first, I'm going to rescue my brother! No matter what people think of him! Right now all Three Factions view my brother as a criminal! But I won't let that stop me! I will knock that evil Uchiha bastard right out of him! And bring him back to Buchou and Akeno-san! And back to our club! He never let me down in my whole life, he always protected me and helped me, well this time I will protect and help him! My first step to catch up to him! Is to win this game!" Issei declared with passion, so much that Itachi had a sad smile on his face as a trail of tears ran down his eyes.

'My foolish little brother… forgive me, for not being with you and everyone else right now…' Itachi thought.

When he looked back to the fight, Koneko drove her fist that had a white aura around it into her opponent's chest. And a good-sounding noise rang through the surroundings, and then Saji's kouhai dropped to her knees.

"… I drove a fist clad with spirit energy into you. Since damage was also dealt to the blood vessels flowing inside you at the time, you won't be able to build up magic anymore. Furthermore, the damage also pierced through your insides… You can't move anymore." Koneko said.

"… Saji-senpai, I'm sorry." The girl uttered as she vanished.

"One of Sona Sitri-sama's Pawns, retired."

"I have become a hellcat. I won't lose." Koneko stated looking cool.

In the meantime Issei kept dodging the magic bullets from Saji while telling Koneko that he needed to fight this battle alone. The two perverted idiots went head to head.

Saji gathered a mass of magic power between his hands as the size of the magic bullet was that of a softball. "With this, it won't affect the surrounding area, and it will completely destroy just your body." Saji breathed heavily, being at his limit.

Issei couldn't escape, with Saji's line attached to his left arm he couldn't escape. The magic bullet then hit and bursted open and it's aura spread throughout the surroundings. But just at that moment.

Divide!

A white gauntlet appeared on Issei's right arm and caught Saji's attack as Issei only took half the damage. Saji stared in shock Issei had gambled some of his life-force just to use that gauntlet. "I'm also risking my life on the line! Let's go! Shine! Boosted Geaaaaaaaaaar!" Issei let out a war cry.

Welsh Dragon Balance Breaker!

Issei's body got surrounded in a dazzling red light and a large aura, and then changed him into his armor. 'His improved a little since the battle we had at the party.' Itachi thought with a proud smile. 'His already surpassed Mako and Shiro, his nearing Hana's level, or maybe his already surpassed her as well.'

Itachi had also focused on another fight that had been going on, Kiba and Xenovia against the Vice-president Shinra Tsubaki whom held a naginata, a tall girl named Yura that was a rook, and a slim girl named Meguri whom was a knight whom held a Japanese Katana sword.

Itachi was surprised to have found out that Issei had loaned Xenovia Ascalon as Xenovia had been forbidden to use Durandal, guess it's more fitting for a knight to wield it. But Xenovia had found a way to take out Durandal's holy aura and have it wrap itself around Ascalon.

But Tsubaki used her Sacred Gear Mirror Alice to counter Xenovia's powerful slices and reflect them back at her, which caused Xenovia to take heavy damage.

Right now, Tsubaki was about to attack them with her naginata while Xenovia opened a tear in space and had Durandal aura flow around Kiba. Kiba had a determined serious expression.

Durandal Birth!

Holy demonic swords sprang up from everywhere around the parking lot, the attack pierced through Yura and Meguri but Tsubaki seemed to have escaped from the parking lot just in time.

"Sona Sitri-sama's one rook, one knight, retired."

"Kiba that was a nice attack." Xenovia said with a smile as she began to disappear as well.

"Yeah, when you and I work together again, we can make more holy swords bloom." Kiba said as Xenovia vanished.

"Rias Gremory-sama one knight, retired."

'They all have improved, Xenovia didn't show this during the party.' Itachi thought and went back to look at the fight between Saji and Issei.

Issei looked like he dominated mostly during the fight as Saji was all bloodied and even his hands were broken, but the line on Issei's right arm was still there even though he had gone into Balance Breaker. Made Itachi wonder what it was connected to. Also it seemed that when Saji punched Issei, Issei somehow took some damage.

Saji was determined to win and get one step closer to his dream, despite vomiting up blood, he didn't back down. Saji fired a several lines into the furniture store and dragged the furniture down upon Issei, Issei shot a restrained Dragon Shot at the furniture blowing it up. But then Saji swung a dresser into Issei's back.

Every time Issei knocked Saji down he got back up, he had quite the resolve to make his and Sona's dream a reality. Saji's words of his resolve and how he was going to defeat Issei really seemed to effect Issei. Issei then punched Saji in the face and the Sitri Pawn was about to fall down but both his hands grabbed onto Issei's arm. Even sitting at the stadium Itachi could tell that Saji had lost consciousness, yet he wouldn't let go of Issei's arm. Saji then vanished in a bright light.

"Sona Sitri, one Pawn, retired."

Despite Saji's defeat the line was attached to Issei's right arm, which was leading right to Sona's base. When they arrived at the center they saw Sona. "How do you do, Hyoudou Issei-kun, Toujou Koneko-san. I see, so that's the appearance of the Red Dragon Emperor. I do feel a terrible wave of power from you. It's only natural for everyone to consider it dangerous." Sona said in a calm composed tone as she was surrounded by a barrier with two of her Bishops, and Issei spotted that the line attached to his right arm was connected to one of the Bishops.

Then Tsubaki appeared with Kiba running after her. And then Rias arrived. "… Sona, you're quite bold, to have come right to the center."

"Haven't you yourself, the King also moved personally as well, Rias?" Sona said.

"Yeah, since we've already reached the final stage either way. Though it seems to have turned out quite differently from what I expected…" Rias said.

'I see, quite clever of you Sona.' Itachi thought as he saw another image of the roof showing Sona. 'A projection most likely, she must have done something so that Koneko wouldn't notice though. Question is what?' Itachi thought while paying close attention to the fight. When suddenly Issei fell to his knees and Asia quickly went over to heal him although it didn't seem to have any effect. Everyone looked in bewilderment at this turn of events. Then Sona's Bishop held out a pack of some kind that was connected to the line attached to Issei. It looked to be filled with blood. 'I see, clever. Issei is too strong and durable for anyone in Sona's peerage to damage him. And since he is a reincarnated devil that used to be a human he can't go on if half of his blood is taken out, then by the Rating Game rules he will be forced to retire and taken to the medical room.' Itachi thought as Kiba used a dagger to cut the line but then blood spilled out on the floor. 'It's over for Issei then.'

Sona turned to Issei. "Saji. He was always saying that he would surpass you. To Saji, you are a fellow Pawn, a friend, and a rival he wants to surpass. However, you have a legendary dragon inside you. With just that, he possessed an inferiority complex towards you. I wanted to convey to that child that he could fight while crying over such a thing. And that was conveyed to him. The line didn't disappear even when Saji was worn out. He filled it with that much intense feelings. I'll say this to you who is about to disappear from this battlefield soon. Just as you were aiming only for the top, Saji was running towards the objective of defeating you. You aren't the only Pawn that has a dream and lives earnestly! The one who beat you was Saji Genshirou!"

Suddenly Issei had a mysteriously space expand and unfold with him in the center. The girls from both Gremory and Sitri protected and covered their bodies thinking this might be some improved version of Dress Break. Issei stood up with a proud smile and Itachi leaned in a little closer wondering what he was doing. And then.

"My new technique, Pailingual! My new technique lets me hear the voice of breasts from women only! When I question them, the breasts tell the answer to only me without lies! It's the strongest technique that lets me understand the heart of the opponent! Ugh, I don't have enough blood… " Issei declared and Itachi almost fell over. When Itachi got up he saw all the girls scolding Issei for being a pervert. What's even worse is that by hearing Sona's breasts he managed to find out what was going on, that Sona was really on the roof and that in front of them was a projection that had her spirit which is why Koneko couldn't sense anything.

Sona's Bishops undid the hologram of Sona and the barrier. And one of them set foot into Asia's healing area. "Reverse!" Then the green healing light turned into something red and dangerous.

"Ah!" Asia screamed and vanished same with Sona's Bishops. And then Issei vanished as well.

"One of Rias Gremory-sama's Bishops, retired. One of Sona Sitri-sama's Bishops, retired. Rias Gremory-sama's Pawn, retired."

'Issei, has grown stronger. But he really needs to learn to watch his surroundings and not take what looks like an important thing like that line lightly.' Itachi thought with a sigh.

Koneko had managed to detect Sona's presence on the roof now that the hologram was gone. Kiba looked at her cat ears twitched and smiled. "Your cat ears are very cute, Koneko-chan." Kiba said making the little nekomata gain a faint blush.

Akeno then appeared on the battlefield and blasted the remaining Bishop with a wave of lightning making the girl scream in pain as she vanished.

"Sona Sitri-sama's Bishop, retired."

'Looks like she's gone through some training like the others, she might even be at Mako's level maybe even Shiro. Makes me wonder how strong Rias has become.' Itachi thought and looked at Akeno, her beautiful long black ponytail, her deep violet eyes, her cold S face. The last thing made him pale a little, wondering what she will do to him when the time comes to reveal the truth, then he began thinking of what Rias might do. It seems it won't end well for our reincarnated Uchiha after all.

Itachi kept watching the remaining battles unfold, Kiba fought against Tsubaki. And to everyone's surprise Kiba was able to summon Durandal, and thanks to his Balance Breaker, Kiba could wield it better than Xenovia could. Kiba let out a violent rampaging surge, and despite trying to suppress Durandal's power, the floor had been cut into two equal halves up to quite a distance away from the shockwave of slashing Tsubaki.

"This is outside of out calculations, Sona! Even more than Hyoudou-kun…! Their true ace is…! The servant to pay attention to is… Kiba Yuuto!" Tsubaki said those words before she vanished.

"Sona Sitri-sama's Queen, retired."

'Issei may have more raw power than Kiba, but Kiba makes up for it with his skill and experience in fighting. He might even be able to defeat Issei thanks to all his skills.' Itachi thought and took note on how each one of them had improved. It wouldn't be long now until they would all be ready for Itachi's final test, although they still had ways to go. But the Game wasn't over yet. Itachi turned his attention to the hologram image of the roof of the department store with Rias and Sona.

Akeno, Kiba and Koneko arrived at the top and along with their master, they stood face to face with Sona. "Sona, why on the roof?" Rias asked.

"The King must survive until the end. That is the duty of the King. If the King is taken out, the game would be over, right?"

"Yes, I didn't question the profoundness of that." Rias said while staring down her rival.

"Rias, Saji won against the Red Dragon Emperor. Neither Issei-kun nor you made any mistakes. Please don't make light of that child. You aren't the only ones who are desperate." Sona said.

"Yes, I could sense it within my body. Now then, let's settle this, Sona."

Rias walked towards Sona ready to face her one on one. Sona gathered an aura of water around her, while Rias formed the power of destruction in her hand. Without any hesitation, Rias blasted the wave of destruction, it was like an endless number of destruction bullets coming from a machine gun. The destruction bullets were at the size of softballs.

Sona then formed the water into hawks that flew towards Rias, snakes that slithered on the ground, valiant lions, wolves that herded together, as well as several huge water dragons.

Rias smiled fearlessly and blasted a countless number of magic destruction bullets in the air. Both of them then unleashed their attacks at each other at the same time creating an explosion that shook the very space around them. Sona ran sideways and Rias did the same, then Sona smirked and flicked her fingers as water gathered beneath Rias's feet making her slip. Then three water dragons charged at her. Rias widened her eyes as the water dragons approached her.

"Dammit, I can't lose again!" Rias cursed when out of nowhere crows started to emerge from her, coming from a different source of energy within her. And some of the crows took the hit of the water dragons.

'Looks like it was used after all.' Itachi thought.

Rias and everyone stared in bewilderment at the murder of crows that gathered into Itachi wearing his school uniform. "I will bring victory to Rias Gremory." The Itachi in the uniform said as he glanced into Sona's eyes with his sharingan making Sona freeze in her steps.

"Can't… move…" Sona uttered.

"Stand tall Rias, fight on, I believe in you. I have always admired your will and strength, your just simply amazing to me." Itachi said with a warm smile then he vanished in the murder of crows that flew off into various different directions. Rias had her eyes widened still in shock same with the others.

Sona managed to break free from the paralyze genjutsu by lowering her magic power to zero, then bursted it out again at full force. Rias whom had regained her footing and balance then looked at Sona and formed a destruction bullet in her hand. And took advantage of the opportunity that Sona was distracted, and blasted her knocking her out. "What was that?" Rias questioned while placing her hand over her chest.

"It is Rias Gremory-sama's victory."

'That settles that, I never expected that trap I set to come in view in a game against Sona though. Really unexpected.' Itachi thought as he had actually way before he left them and joined the Shinobi Faction, he had actually planted small traces of his chakra into Rias. He did this after he rescued her from Raiser, the trap was set to activate if Rias was ever close to losing, the crows will form into him and cast the enemy in a paralyze genjutsu.

"Attention, some of you may be confused as to what just happened. Everyone is familiar with Itachi Uchiha." Sirzechs voice echoed through the stadium as a hologram of a wanted poster with a picture of Itachi taken from when Issei broke his mask at the party. "A terrorist and a member of the Shinobi Faction, a faction within the Khaos Brigade. However, he used to be Itachi Hyoudou." Another hologram of Itachi during a class photo appeared. "And he was a member of my younger sister, Rias Gremory's peerage. However, it turned out he was a reincarnation of Itachi Uchiha of the ancient Uchiha clan. A shinobi clan that were active several millions of years ago. And Itachi Uchiha had managed to find a way to place his conscious within Itachi Hyoudou's body. And eventually Itachi Hyoudou was taken over and is now trapped within his own subconscious. I myself even consider Itachi Hyoudou like a little brother, and I hope that we will manage to rescue him from Itachi Uchiha. What we just saw, was something placed by Itachi Hyoudou before he was taken over, a measure to protect Rias. Therefor since Itachi Hyoudou did this while he was in Rias Gremory's peerage, we will allow this." Sirzechs announced.

Everyone whispered among each other and seemed to find logic in what Sirzechs said. And then they all cheered for Rias' victory in the game. Itachi left the stadium and his body vanished into a murder of crows.

With Rias

After having won her first game, Rias had to inform Issei that he was banned from using that technique he just showed ever again in the games, since no girl would ever want to fight against him if he used that. Now she was in a room with Sona, Sirzechs, Serafall, Grayfia, Azazel, and her own peerage.

"I assume you're wondering about that Itachi thing that happened?" Azazel asked Rias whom nodded while everyone else were also very interested in the subject. "You see, before his Uchiha-self took over, he had planted a trap in each and every one of you." Azazel and everyone widened their eyes in confusion. "The trap is designed to help you whenever Itachi is not around to do so, Itachi's a very smart individual he predicted that after the incident you had with Raynare and the game with Raiser, that he won't always be able to save you. So, whenever he had the chance he would plant a trap in each one of you containing a piece of his own energy that would form into him and place the enemy in a genjutsu."

"Then why haven't we seen them until now?" Issei questioned.

"They all have a trigger word, or arrive at a special situation. In Rias's case it was that she didn't want to lose another Rating Game." Sirzechs informed.

"So, what happened will it be considered cheating or something?" Issei questioned.

"No, Itachi did this when he was a part of your peerage. Therefor it's considered to be an act of Itachi Hyoudou of the Gremory family, so it counts." Grayfia informed. "Everyone who saw the game has been informed about this as well, they all agreed with it."

"However, it seems to be a one-shot deal. So, Rias won't get help like that again. But the rest of you have one right now. It can be unleashed upon a trigger word or a situation." Azazel informed.

"So, Itachi is still watching over us." Rias said with a small smile.

"That does feel comforting." Akeno said and placed her hand over her chest with a smile on her face.

"Nii-san…" Issei uttered and smiled.

"Heh, leave it to the smartest man I have ever met to outsmart me." Sona smirked.

"So-tan, what does that mean?" Serafall questioned.

"Umm, I, umm…" Sona uttered.

"Is this about when nii-san beat you at chess?" Issei questioned.

"Gah!" Sona paled while Serafall gaped.

"Why didn't you tell me?! Do you know what this means?!" Serafall questioned.

"Yeah, well his already in love with Rias so it doesn't matter!" Sona had a faint blush as she backed away a little from her sister.

"Aw! So-tan is so cute when she thinks of Rias-chan's emotions!" Serafall squealed and hugged her little sister.

"Let go of me, onee-sama!"

"What is she talking about?" Rias asked.

"Well…" Sona uttered.

"So-tan decided to marry the person that would beat her in chess. So, that means that she and Itachi-chan are practically almost engaged!" Serafall said as Rias and Akeno paled.

"What?!" Rias questioned in anger.

"What is the meaning of this?" Akeno gave a dark chuckle that made Issei's skin crawl.

"Hold on! I never said I would marry him! Like I said his already in love with Rias! I can just look for someone else!" Sona said.

"Ehhh? But the deal was-" Serafall said.

"I don't care! If he doesn't feel the same way I can't force him! And we can't exactly ask him, now can we? If you forgot, he's been taken over by his Uchiha self!" Sona said which made her sister keep quiet.

"Well one things for sure, once I get my dear cute Itachi back, I'm not sharing him!" Rias declared.

"Ara ara, I don't think that sounds fair Rias. I want him to after all." Akeno said as sparks flew between the two best friends.

Several days later: Itachi

Itachi was in the Shinobi Faction hideout trying to pretend to narrow down the coordinates for some scrolls. Since thanks to Sirzechs and Azazel he already knew where they were but he needed to pretend so that he won't rise any suspicion upon him.

Fujiwara was reading the final volume of Make out Tactics, for the second time. Jin was drying his hair with a towel as he was topless and dressed in shorts, having showered after training. Hana was blushing trying to avoid looking at a topless Jin, while sitting awkwardly at the couch. Mako was pouting over that Fujiwara was to focused on those books. While Shiro was taking a nap.

Suddenly the doorbell rang. "I'll get it." Itachi stood up and walked to the large door, when he opened it, he was met by Team Vali and Ophis whom was wearing a big white chef hat while having a motionless expression. They all had their bags with them, looking like they had escaped from a blazing inferno. "What happened to you?"

Le Fay had a teary expression. "M-Me and O-Ophis-ojousama. We're going to make, dinner. But then-then-then, I went to check on my big brother with something. And when I came back, the stove was on fire!" The little mage cried as Itachi sweat dropped.

"Long story short, can we stay here?" Vali asked looking a little annoyed.

"Umm, sure, I guess we can't say no when you have Ophis with you." Itachi said and they all marched in.

"Where's your shower? Nya." Kuroka asked.

"Go to the living room there, then down the hall and to the right." Itachi replied when he felt someone pulling his sleeve. He looked down and saw Ophis.

"I want to watch Anime." Ophis said with a motionless expression.

"Sure." Itachi said with a soft smile and petted her head as they walked in to the others.

"What is that monkey doing in my house?!" Fujiwara's voice was heard as Bikou was heard laughing in the background.

That's the end for now!

So, now that the Rating Game between Rias and Sona is over, the next is Diodora Astaroth arc right? I haven't really read all the novels before. This chapter was mostly Itachi focusing on how much Rias and the others have grown by watching the Rating Game between her and Sona. Also, what's your guys thoughts on the traps we had Itachi plant in everyone. Figured that Itachi is the kind of guy to be prepared for anything so we should include something like this.

And yeah, sorry if this chapter was sort of boring for some of you. We were just unsure on where to go with this chapter (writers block) and decided to take a simple route because of plot. If you enjoyed it then good, at least we made someone happy. As for the rest, sorry and don't worry we will do it better next time.

Anyway, leave a review!
