"Everyone, I'd like to introduce our newest [Rook] and peerage member, Yukiko Gremory." Rias reintroduced her sister to the occult research club, the girl in question waving and revealing two bat-like wings on her back.
"As your newest [Rook, I hope I can be of service to you all!" Yukiko declared, everyone else clapping. Akeno walked over to Rias, her confusion exposed on her face. "When did this happen?" she whispered to her [King, who sighed, watching as her sister conversed with Yuuto and Koneko. "Last night, after the party. She asked to be reincarnated as a Devil, which surprised us at first, but if it makes her happy, then why refuse? Plus-" Rias stopped, the pair watching Yukiko swing her Levia-tan wand around, making it rain hearts in the room, much to everyone's surprise.
"This wand is amazing! I'm never leaving it home!" Yukiko declared, watching as little stars shot out of the wand.
"She has a lot of potential. So much so that I had to trade my last [Rook] to Father for his Mutation [Rook]." Rias finished with a smile. "Seems like I got lucky with her." The pair walked to the rest of the club members, who finished their conversation.
"Now, as happy as I am with Yukiko joining our peerage, we have one piece of business left before her lessons of what we do can begin. Akeno, if you will." Rias motioned to her [Queen, who began her explanation.
"According to our information, there seems to be a student here with a very powerful Sacred Gear. Because of this, they have been targeted by Fallen Angels-"
"Um, I'm sorry for interrupting, but what are Sacred Gears?" Yukiko asked. Yuuto tapped her shoulder, gaining the blunette's attention. "Sacred Gears are treasures given to certain people by God. Normally they'd be within people from birth, but..."
"The Fallen Angels found a way to extract a Sacred Gear and replace their owner. The process, however, kills it's previous owner, because of the Sacred Gear's tie to the owner's soul." Akeno finished for the blonde.
"So, they plan on killing this student to get their Sacred Gear?" Yukiko asked, earning a sage-like nod from her sister. "So, it's up to us to find out who this student is and protect them from the Fallen Angels. Which is why we'll spread out around the school to set if we can find anyone with an unusually high magic reading. Koneko and Yukiko, you two will cover the front campus and the first floor; Kiba and Akeno will take the rear campus and the second floor, and I'll search the third floor. Are there any problems?"
"Yeah, just one: How do you sense for magic?" Yukiko asked, which was a fair question. Being the closest human to Rias, she knew what the Devils did, but not how they did it.
"Alright then. I'll stay back and give Yu a crash course in magic, while you three search the school for the person in question. We'll search the campus when we're done." Rias stated, getting nods in agreement from everyone. Yukiko moved to Rias' side as the others left to begin their search.
'I feel like I know who it is, so I'll focus on him.' Koneko thought, running to a certain brunette's location.
Back with the Gremory sisters, Rias seemed to be getting into the role of a teacher, having Yukiko take notes on her lesson.
"First, let's start with your role in my peerage. You remember when we'd play chess, right? How each piece had a different purpose?" Rias began, receiving a nod of conformation from Yukiko. Pleased, she continued. "Each member of our peerage has a role to play, similar to the game. Starting with Koneko and you, you two are my [Rooks]. As a [Rook, you both have a great strength boost, in addition to your defensive boost. Next is my [Knight, Yuuto. As a [Knight, he has a boost in speed, and his greatest weapon is his sword. Finally, we have Akeno, my [Queen]. As such, she has the highest boost in power compared to the rest of the peerage, being a perfect balance in power."
"But what about your [Bishop]? And Gasper, what happened to him?" Yukiko asked her sister. Rias sighed. "He's been... locked away, deemed as an uncontrollable element for my peerage." she stopped, noting the worry in Yukiko's eyes. "Don't worry, he's not in trouble. In fact, he agreed to bee locked up. He can leave whenever he wants."
Yukiko took a breath of relief. "That's good. He's such a nice kid, it's a shame he can't control his power." she said, to which Rias agreed. "Anyway, back to magic." she held out her hand, in which a black flame, no bigger than a baseball, appeared. "Earlier, when the hearts and stars appeared, what did you think about?"
"Levia-tan's entrance. Why?" Yukiko said, puzzled. Rias dispersed her flame, continuing with her explanation. "About half of magic is imagination, and that counts as much for varying magic as it does for tracing it. If you imagine visualizing the magical energy a person has..."
"Then I'll be able to actually see it." Yukiko finished, understanding. Rias nodded in approval. "Glad you understand. Now, before we go join the search, try to sense my magical power." she instructed. Yukiko nodded, shutting her eyes. 'Focus on Rias. Imagine her power flowing off of her.' she thought. Opening her eyes, she saw it, Rias' energy. Appearing as a red flame, it encased the crimson haired beauty, pouring off of her in waves.
"A-amazing! Rias, you're amazing!" Yukiko exclaimed, awed by her sister's radiant magic flow. "Glad you think so." Rias said with a smile. "Now, let's go help the o-"
At this moment, a magic circle appeared near Rias' ear. "Rias. I found him. Like you thought, it's Hyoudou." Someone, presumed to be Koneko, said from the circle. "Good job, Koneko. Keep an eye on him for me, will you? Make sure he doesn't get involved with the Fallen Angels for me." Rias ordered.
"... Kinda too late for that." Koneko answered." From what I can tell, he's taking one out on a date this Sunday."
Rias cursed under her breath, which shocked Yukiko, because she never heard her sister curse before. "Fine. Call off the search. Everyone can go home, I'll just have my familiar keep an eye on him instead." Rias said as her bat-like companion appeared floating next to her.
"I'll need you to keep an eye on this young man for me for a while, okay?" She showed her familiar a picture of Issei, which for some reason she had on hand, who nodded before poofing away in a cloud.
"Now Yu, I'm glad you can use your magic so soon after becoming a Devil, but please refrain from showing humans your power. It's difficult to explain such acts." Rias explained, turning to face Yukiko, who looked confused. "What do you mean? I didn't use any magic, but if you say not to in front of the others, then I won't, Rias." Yukiko returned. Rias thought about what she was just told.
'She didn't use magic? The wand is just a child's toy, so it couldn't have any magical ability, unless...' Rias sighed, shaking her head. 'She subconsciously used her power earlier. That may be a problem now, but with a little training, she'll be able to control it.'
"Guess that solved itself then, huh?" Yukiko joked, regaining Rias' attention. "Right. Well, with that out of the way I guess we could just head home now. Are you ready?"
"Yeah. Oh, Rias, can I do it? Please?" Yukiko pleaded. Rias sighed. "Go ahead, Yu. Set the circle so we may leave." she answered, leaving Yukiko ecstatic. Moving so she was next to her sister, Yukiko slammed her palm into the floor, creating a large magic circle.
"Bam! One magic circle, courtesy of Magical Girl Yu-tan!" She exclaimed while standing up, her uniform being replaced by her Levia-tan costume. "And awaaaaaaay we go!" she called out as the two's forms began to glow. It took a second, but in a flash of light, they were gone.
Back at the Gremory manor, Sirzechs was walking with his wife, Grafiya, on their way to their bedroom, the pair reminiscing about their past, Sirzechs laughing at Grafiya's last comment.
"Come now, Grafiya, we were just kids then. We didn't know what we were-" Sirzechs stopped as the pair was interrupted by two falling people.
"Ow... I gotta work on my fast traveling magic..." Yukiko noted as she got off of Grafiya. "Sorry about that, Lady Grafiya. It's my first time casting magic like that, heheh..." she laughed it off, helping the noblewoman up off the floor. Dusting herself off, Grafiya smiled. "I understand. I was a novice magician myself, a long time ago." she replied, placing a hand on the Yukiko's shoulder. "Just keep practicing, and maybe you'll be as strong as me one day."
"Yeah! Then I'll be able to fight evil with Levia-tan!" Yukiko declared, making the Maou's [Queen] giggle. Rias was shocked. 'I've never seen Grafiya smile like this, much less hear her laugh.' she thought, making mental a note of this moment. She turned to her brother, realizing he was enjoying the two's conversation. "Brother, there is something I would like to discuss with you. May we speak, in private?" she asked formally.
"Of course. Grafiya, I leave Yukiko in your hands." Sirzechs informed his wife. As the redheaded pair walked down the hallway, Grafiya faced Yukiko once more. "You say you began using magic today, correct?" she asked the bluenette, who nodded in conformation. "Rias taught me how to sense other's magic power by imagining what it would look like, and that half of magic is imagination." she said, to which Grafiya agreed. "In that case, how about I give you your second lesson?"
Four Minutes Later...
In the bathroom, Yukiko was soaking in the family's excessively large tub, humming the opening theme to Miracle Levia-tan. "Grafiya thinks I'll be able to do it, huh?" the girl wondered, looking at her hands as she thought back to their conversion.
"You're heading to the baths after this, correct? Try collecting the steam in the room into a ball in your hands. I want you to do this at least once every time you use the baths. Think of it as magic control training." Grafiya instructed before walking off to join her husband and sister-in-law.
Yukiko smacked her cheeks lightly. "Okay, let's try it! Focus!" she told herself, shutting her eyes. 'Just imagine, all of the steam in the room swirling around in a ball in my hand, like one of those weather maps of the world- hey is there a draft in here?' Opening her eyes Yukiko was amazed at what she saw. The air within the room was swirling into her hands, as if they were a vacuum. "Great. Got the placement part down, now I just need to give it proper shape." she mumbled to herself, thinking about different kinds of balls. 'Let's see... golf ball, baseball, football, softball...' she opened her eyes she was surprised at what was before her: what can only be described as a ball of smoke, roughly the size of a large beach ball.
"Looks like I finished Grafiya's task, now to enjoy my bath." Yukiko finished, sinking lower into the water.
Fifteen minutes had passed and Yukiko hadn't left the bath yet. Rias grew impatient. "The nerve of that girl, taking her time like she's the only one who needs to clean themselves!" she growled, stomping to the bathroom.
"Yukiko, there are other people who-" Rias started, slamming open the bathroom door. Looking around, she couldn't find her sister in the room. "Guess she went to bed workout telling anyone..." She mumbled, stripping out of her uniform. It was at this moment that Yukiko's head rise out of the water, shocking the redhead.
"Ah! And that makes five! Now I can-"
"Intruder! Die!" Rias interrupted, firing off a beam of her magic at the bluenette. "Rias, it's me-augh!" to late, Yukiko ended up being the next victim to circumstance.
"I'm sorry, Yu. I didn't know you were still here." Rias explained apologetically. Yukiko waved it off. "It's fine, I did surprise you after all." she said nonchalantly. "Speaking of, what are you doing in here?" Rias asked, curious about why her younger sister is still in the bathroom.
"Nothing, really. Grafiya just have me a task that'll increase my magic abilities, so I'm practicing in here." Yukiko shrugged.
"Grafiya did, huh..." Rias muttered. 'It seems that Grafiya and Brother are interested in Yukiko's development.' she thought. ' I'm glad to hear it.'
"Speaking of magic training, starting tomorrow you'll be receiving magic manipulation training from Akeno. Sound good?"
"That sounds awesome! Thanks, Rias!" Yukiko exclaimed, genuinely excited. Giving her sister a hug, Rias pet her head. "Glad you think so. Now go get some rest. I'll tell Akeno t-"
"Rias, we have a problem." a magic circle appeared, and from it Koneko spoke. "The Fallen Angels moved earlier than expected. Issei's... dying."
"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Rias declared, rocketing out of the water. "Thanks to Kou, he has one of my contract fliers, so I'll use they to get to him." leaving the water entirely, Rias looked back at her sister. "Come with me, Yu. This'll be a good learning experience for you when you start fulfilling contracts yourself." she said.
Yukiko sighed. "Fiiiine. You'd be doing the world a favor if you just left Hyoudou to die, but if you insist that I come with you..." she answered, following behind her sister. Using her magic, Rias dried and dressed the pair, and went on their way to the dying young man.
~(With Issei Hyoudou)~
Issei Hyoudou was dying.
Laid out in the middle of the street, Issei bled from a large wound on his stomach. 'Wow, to think I'd die walking a girl home for the first time...' He thought to himself. 'If I'm gonna die, then I'd rather see her one last time before that happens.' Imagining Rias, he looked at his hand, covered in his blood.
'Red, the same color as her hair...' Issei thought. 'If only I could see her once more, I'd motorboat those perfect tits of hers.'
At that moment a light behind the young man began to shine. When it dimmed, two figures were revealed, them being Rias and Yukiko.
'Holy shit, she's actually here!' Issei thought in his last moments.
"Oh, dear. Looks like you're in quite a bind, Issei Hyoudou." Rias stated, earning a sarcastic laugh from Yukiko.
"Rias, don't toy with the boy, he's dying! Just... do what you came to so we can go." Yukiko urged. Sighing, Rias continued. "Seeing you like this, I'll gladly pick up your life. But in exchange, from now on, you'll live for me."
Holding her hand out for a moment, Rias used her magic to... transport a box she keeps on her dresser to her.
"Um, Rias?" Yukiko started. "Is this really the best time to be adding to your peerage? Or person?" Yukiko stressed the last part of her question.
"Think about it, Yu: if he's deemed a large enough threat by the Fallen Angels that he's killed, then there's got to be something special about him." Rias reasoned. Yukiko shrugged. "I feel like there's another motive, but oh well. If you feel that strongly about the perv, then I'll put up with him." she caved in to her sister's demands.
"That's all I could ask for, Yukiko." Rias said while smiling. Reaching into her box, she pulled out a single red [Pawn]. "Now, how many pieces will you take up, Mr. Hyoudou? One? No, two? Three? How about my [Knight]? My [Rook]?"
Yukiko sighed, facepalming. "This is gonna take a while." she muttered, watching Rias sift through her box of [Evil Pieces].
(The morning after - Hyoudou residence)
"Wake up~! Wake up now, before I chop off your balls~!" the yandere alarm clock rang out. Reaching out from under his blanket, Issei shut off the alarm. 'Remind me why I bought this alarm clock again?' He thought, leaving his bed. Attempting to stand, he nearly fell on his face.
"Ugh, my aching head... Wait, my head? I'm alive?" confused, Issei looked around. "And I'm home, so that must've been a dream. But it was so realistic..."
"That was no dream, Love." a familiar voice called out from under Issei's blanket. Sitting up, the blanket rolled off of her, revealing a nude Rias Gremory. "You really did die, so I brought you back. Now, allow me to introduce myself,"
Then the redhead spoke these words:
"My name is Rias Gremory, and I am a Devil."
(Later- On Campus)
Walking into the building, Yukiko couldn't help but feel some way as age watched her sister enter the school with Issei. Seeing the two go tier seperate ways, she walked up to Rias as the redhead began to walk upstairs.
"Sis, I love you, but remind me why you thought it was a good idea to stay with him all night." Yukiko was confused. It was one thing to revive Issei and make him a peerage member, but to stay and heal him overnight?
"He should be glad I haven't castrated him yet." she said furiously. Rias stopped at the top of the stairs, resting her hand on Yukiko's shoulder, which made the bluenette stop as well. "Calm down, Yu. I did exactly as I said I would, and he didn't try anything all night. Is that good enough for you?" she tried to reassure the girl, who just sighed as a response. "Fine. He's okay, for now." Yukiko muttered.
"Good morning, Rias, Yukiko." a familiar voice spoke up from behind the duo. Turning around, Rias smiled. "Good morning to you, too, Sona." she returned. Hearing that name, Yukiko perked up. "Good morning, Sona! How's Ruruko and Tsubasa doing?"
"They're doing well. Now get to class, Yukiko. I need to speak to your sister in private." Sona instructed. Hugging her sister one last time, Yukiko left her two seniors to themselves.
"This is a first for you, Rias," Sona continued. "Not only did you make Yukiko a member of your peerage, but you recruited Mr. Hyoudou as well. You're making pretty aggressive moves now."
"Now, Sona, the recruitment of Issei Hyoudou was a coincidence. He actually contracted me to save him from dying, and that's what I did. Besides," Rias countered, staring down over the banister at the boy in question, watching as he conversed with his fellow perverted trio members. "It feels like I adopted a little brother."
(Kuoh Academy- Post Classes)
"Do we really have to?" Yukiko asked Yuuto as the two approached the second year classes.
"Of course. It's an order from our master, so it must be followed." the [Knight] reasoned, opening one of the classroom doors. "Hey everyone. Is Issei Hyoudou in here?"
"Kyaaa!"
"Kiba? Here!?"
"This must be a dream!"
"But who's the girl with him?"
"Don't tell me that's his girlfriend!?"
The classroom soon filled with the mutterings of the students upon entry of the pair of Devils. Spotting the student in question, Yukiko pointed him out to Yuuto. "He's over there. Let's grab him and go already." she whined. Walking to Issei, who was watching the scene unfold, Yuuto smiled in his usual 'I belong on Always Better Than You magazine' way, which got on Issei's nerve.
"You're Issei Hyoudou, right? Rias Gremory sent us to pick you up," Yuuto said, still smiling. "Shall we go?"
"Don't touch him, Kiba! You'll catch pervert!" one of the female students called out. Issei sighed while getting out of his seat. "Relax, ladies. I won't drain Yuuto of his Pimp Juice." he said, which made Yukiko laugh.
(Area Change- Old School Building)
"So, Issei," Rias stated, sitting behind her desk. "Allow me to introduce the rest of the Occult Research Club." Akeno stepped forward, standing next to Rias. "This is-"
"Akeno Himejima, everyone knows who you two are. And that's Yuuto Kiba, and Koneko Toujou," Issei interrupted, pointing everyone out. "But who's she?" he agreed, pointing at Yukiko.
"This girl," Rias started, gesturing to Yukiko to come closer to her. Once she was close enough, Rias sprang out of her seat and embraced the girl. "Is my adorable little sister, Yukiko Gremory." Rias introduced her sister, who stood with a look of embarrassment.
"Really? I don't see the resemblance..." Issei muttered, which Yukiko caught. A second later, Yukiko was holding Issei by his ear. "Say that again. I dare you." she threatened the boy, who was too busy hurting to listen. "Ouch! I'm sorry, okay!? It's just that you two don't look like each other at all!" Issei wailed.
"Now, now, settle down, Yu." Rias ordered, pulling her sister away from Issei. "I'm gonna kill the perv! Lemme at 'em!" Yukiko whined, flailing around. "That's a sensitive topic for Yukiko, Issei, so please refrain from talking about it," Rias continued. "Anyway, since you seem to know everyone, I'd like to welcome you into the club and my peerage as a Devil." Once she finished her sentence, a pair of black, bat-like wings revealed themselves from behind Rias, and in sequence, everyone else, including Issei.
"Okay, now I can't deny this as the ramblings of crazy people..." Issei muttered, irking Yukiko. 'He dares to call Rias crazy? Why, I oughta-' she thought, before catching the look Akeno was giving her, which said "Act out again, and it's my turn to deal with you." Calming down, Yukiko backed away from Rias.
"So, what is it that you do here?" Issei asked finally. "Actually, the club is just a front so we can continue our Devil activities without a problem." Rias explained, handing Issei one of her contracts.
"Hey! I got one of these from a cute girl handing them out by the fountain!" Issei cried out. Sneaking off to the side, Yukiko joined Koneko on the side of the room. "Hey, I guess we're not needed anymore. Wanna go get ice cream?" she whispered to the white- haired loli. Nodding, Koneko and Yukiko walked over to the door.
"Where are you two going? You've got contracts." Rias said, stopping the pair. Koneko shrugged. "I tried." Petting her friend, Yukiko sighed. "Oh, well. There's always next time." she said.
"I worked Kou extra hard for you yesterday, so you should thank her later." Rias said to her sister, who nodded in agreement. "Any idea who I'm working with?" Yukiko asked, expecting her sister to know.
"Actually, no. You'd have to ask Kou, but she's asleep, finally." Rias sighed. Yukiko walked over to the magic circle in the room's corner. "Got it. I'll just have to find out for myself then." she said while activating the circle. Closing her eyes, Yukiko chanted, "Take me to where I need to be!" and was gone in a flash of light.
"So cool! Can we all do that?" Issei asked Rias, the former's eyes sparkling. Nodding, Rias sighed. 'I've got my work cut out for me with this one.' she thought.
On Yukiko's side, the magic circle landed her in what looks like a hotel room. None of the lights were on, but since Yukiko was a Devil, she was able to see anyway. Examining her surroundings, she came to the conclusion that she was in a living room. Against the left wall was a black leather couch, upon which a figure sat, their feet resting on the glass coffee table in front of them.
"*Yawn* Glad you could make it, Ms. Devil. Please, take a seat." the feminine sounding person said, flipping the light switch. Looking at the figure, Yukiko discovered that who she was with was, in fact, female. With her hair tied in a lazy ponytail, she wore a basic white tshirt, blue jeans, and sandals. She looked to be very comfortable with what was going on, like this wasn't her first time contacting Devils. Looking at Yukiko, she looked confused. "Er, you are a Devil, right?" she asked.
"Of course I am. What makes you think I'm not a- oh." Yukiko realized why her contractor thought she wasn't a Devil- she was still in her Magical Girl costume. Blushing, Yukiko used her magic to change into her school uniform. "Sorry about that. I didn't expect to receive a request so soon after becoming a Devil," she admitted. "Anyway, good evening, miss. My name is Yukiko Gremory, and as the Devil you requested tonight, it is my duty to fulfill your request."
"Drop the formalities, please. Also, call me Anna." Anna said, waving Yukiko off. "So, you said you're a newborn Devil, huh? In that case, how about you be my drinking partner for today? I've got saké in the fridge." Pointing to the opposite corner, Yukiko looked and saw the fridge Anna was talking about.
"I don't know... I may be a Devil, but I'm still underage..." Yukiko said, but still got the saké and two cups. Anna chuckled. "Nonsense. What's the harm in having a drink or two?" she asked the girl. Yukiko shrugged. 'One drink can't hurt, right?' she asked herself while pouring her and Anna a cup. Looking at the clear liquid in her cup, Yukiko swallowed nervously. 'Bottoms up.' she thought before swallowing the contents of her cup.
(The Next Morning)
"Ugh... My head feels like it was run over by an eighteen wheeler..." Yukiko groaned out, sitting up. She gasped, remembering part of what happened last night. Looking around, she noticed she was back in her room. "How did I get here?" she muttered, rubbing her head, before she noticed the shining watch on her wrist. "Isn't this Anna's?" she muttered, before her door opened.
"I'm just gonna leave this in-." Rias gasped, nearly dropping her tray. Walking in, she stopped short of Yukiko and left the tray in her lap. "Thanks, Ri- ow!" Yukiko cried out, rubbing the new bruise she received from Rias plucking her forehead. "Why!?"
"That was for your drinking while knowing you're underage." Rias clarified. "Oh, and you had this in your pocket when you came in." she said while handing over a folded note. Opening it, Yukiko smiled after reading it, which read:
- Hey, glad you can read this. Means you didn't get a really bad hangover. Anyway, thanks for fulfilling my request. Keep the watch as compensation. See you later, Anna-
"Glad my first contract was a success. Plus, nothing bad happened while I was drunk! That's a win-win, right, Rias?" Yukiko asked her sister, who wouldn't meet her eyes. 'She doesn't remember what happened yesterday? That's great. We don't need to talk about it, especially since she doesn't know what she did.' Rias thought, her cheeks becoming redder with each passing second.
*Flashback*
"Riiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaassssss! I'm hoooooommmmmmeeeee!" A drunk Yukiko called out from the hallway. "Glad you're in a good mood after your request, Yu." Rias answered, walking into the hallway to meet Yukiko at the door. Smiling lewdly, Yukiko grabbed Rias' left boob and gave it a squeeze.
"I reeeeaaaalllyyy missed these." she said while repeatedly squeezing Rias' boob, earning a moan from the redhead as a response. Patting her own chest with her free hand, Yukiko pouted. "Hey, Rias. We're sisters, right? So how come your breast are so much bigger than mine?" she asked, complaining about her breast size, which was a C-cup.
'Whatever's wrong with you needs to be stopped. NOW!' Rias thought, moaning once more as her cheeks flushed. Using this moment to her advantage, Yukiko took to Rias back and, with her free hand, grabbed her right boob, causing the redhead to cry out.
"Who's making so much noise at this late hour-oh, Lady Rias and Lady Yukiko," Grafiya said shocked, walking onto the scene. "Girls. If you're going to have your sisterly bonding time, please refrain from doing so in the halls."
"Grafiya, help! Yukiko, she's-"
"Drunk? I should've figured as much, especially with who requested her." Grafiya sighed. Rias was surprised to find out that Grafiya new who requested Yukiko. Grafiya walked over to the two girls, disappointed at how little attention Yukiko was paying to her. "It's time to go to sleep, Lady Yukiko."
"Eh? But I just got h-augh!" and with a chop to the back of her neck, Yukiko was out like a light, her body falling limp against Rias. Sighing, Rias smiled at her sister in law. "Thank you, Grafiya." she said, carrying Yukiko on her back.
"Just make sure she gets to bed. That's all the thanks I need." Grafiya replied before walking off. Stopping, she knelt down and picked up a folded piece of paper. "I believe she dropped this." she said, handing the redhead the slip of paper before walking away.
*Flashback Over*
"Rias? Earth to Rias!" Yukiko exclaimed, snapping her fingers in front of Rias' face. Snapping back to reality, Rias blinked. "Huh?"
"Good, you're back. I said that I'm glad that nothing happened while I was drunk." Yukiko continued. "R-right. Nothing happened." Rias stammered, planting the seed of doubt in Yukiko's mind.
"Rias, what did I do?"
"Hmm?"
"Come on, tell me!"
"There's nothing to say."
"Rias!"
[A/N: And here's another chapter! Apologies for the delay, my computer broke, so I'm stuck using the mobile version of FF.
