Chapter 23: Coming of the Phoenix

Adrian could hardly believe his ears,

"I'm sorry, you want me to do what??" Rias was already undressing herself in front of him, keeping quiet towards his question. I really shouldn't be complaining, thought Adrian, but once again she's not acting like herself! Just what the hell is going on with her?!

"Am I not good enough?" She asked, "Do you not want to?"

"Rias, the boy in me is saying to go for it," said Adrian, "but the man in me is saying you still haven't told me WHAT IS GOING ON?!"

"I've given this a lot of thought, and there is no other way," said Rias, now approaching Adrian with an almost ghost-like shimmer in her eyes, and now Adrian was curious,

"What do you mean 'no other way?' Who's making you do this?"

"Once it becomes known that I am ruined I will be freed...I'm trusting you with this Adrian," she said, a light blush crossing her cheeks. She then climbed back into bed, straddling his midsection once again,

"I believe I once said I wanted to go on some dates before going through with something as major as this!" Said Adrian, trying to buy some time, but failing.

"I know and I'm sorry," apologized Rias, "You wanted to wait because we were both virgins, right?" She asked, unclasping her bra. Adrian simply nodded to her question, "Neither of us may have much experience with it, but I'm sure we can figure something out that works." She let her bra fall off, freeing her breasts for Adrian to see, "It's okay," she reassured, "All you have to do is stick yours into mine, right there," she pointed to their lower parts, and Adrian was finding it harder and harder to control himself.

"No disrespect, Rias," said Adrian, "but I know how intercourse works." Rias didn't say anything, and simply placed his hand on her breast,

"Lets start here. I'm a little nervous about this myself," she confessed, with Adrian simply in a wide eyed stupor.

"Are you sure you really want to go through with this?" Asked Adrian, and Rias looked at him in disbelief,

"Does that mean you're choosing to deny me?" Adrian blinked, and a thought just came to him,

She's practically throwing herself at me, he thought to himself, why the hell shouldn't I accept? Quick as a flash, he leaned up, wrapped his arms around her, rolled themselves on the bed, with Rias laying on the bed, and Adrian propped on his elbows between her legs.

"Are you sure you want to go through with this?" Rias, face flushed, nodded her head, and Adrian slowly leaned his head down, placing his lips on hers. They continued to kiss as Adrian bought his left hand to her breast, and his right hand to her leg, hooking it around himself as he trailed his kisses from her lips to the side of her neck, down between her breasts, trailing lower to her navel, circling around it with his tongue, and finally reaching his goal between her legs. He looked up at Rias, who was looking down at him with flushed cheeks and heavy breathing, "Last chance to back out," he said.

"Take me!" She breathed, and Adrian latched his teeth onto the waistband of her panties, sliding them halfway down her thighs...

A whitish lavender magic circle appeared on the floor, making Rias turn, and Adrian to look as well, with Rias' panties still in his teeth. Rias closed her eyes in defeat, and opened them to look at Adrian with a sad smile,

"I had a feeling I'd get here too late." She returned her gaze to the magic circle as it brightened momentarily, and faded as a woman with gray hair, dressed similarly to a French maid, now stood in Adrians' room.

"Really Rias? You're here with this lowborn?" She asked in disbelief, "You do realize Sirzechs is going to be terribly dissappointed in you." Adrian, teeth still clenching Rias' panties, unintentionally began to tear holes in the fabric as his jaw tightened in rage at the newcomer,

"Forgif me fo asfing," he said, his teeth still clenched and full of panties, "but vho the vuck are you? Vut the vuck are you doing in my houf? And vho the vuck is Sirvex?"

"Sirzechs is my older brother," explained Rias, still laying on Adrians bed, unable to move with the Devil Virus still having a death grip on her panties, but as soon as she said those words, Adrian let go of her panties, and turned to her in shock,

"You have an older brother??" Rias then rose from the bed, sliding her now torn panties back on as best she could, but due to the holes now in the front, left almost nothing to the imagination. She paid this no mind as she spoke to the woman invading the room,

"My virtue is mine to do with as I please," said Rias defiantly, "How is it wrong for me to give it to whoever I want? And another thing," she placed her hands on her hips, "I will NOT allow anyone to call my honored servants as a lowborn! I don't care if you're my brothers queen or not!" All was quiet, until the woman began to bend down to retrieve Rias' clothes, only for them to vanish in a red magic circle, and reappear as the same circle passed down over Rias' replacing her missing clothes, and repairing her damaged undergarment, as Adrian revealed himself to be the one using the magic, already fully clothed as well. She cleared her throat as she continued,

"Noted, but think, you are the next head of Gremory. Have some respect for youself," she turned to Adrian, "Pardon the interruption, my name is Grayfia and I am also in the service of the Gremory Family. We'll get out of your way," she then bowed respectfully to Adrian, yet he did not feel any of the respect.

"Feel free," he said, venom practically oozing off his words. Rias turned his head towards herself, making him calmer,

"I'm so sorry Adrian," she apologized, "I haven't been in my right mind tonight. Lets just forget about this?" Adrian sighed,

"Fine, but I eventually want answers, you know. I don't like being in the dark like this all the time."

"'Adrian?' You mean this is him?" Asked Grayfia.

"Yes," confirmed Rias, "He is my pawn."

"The one who holds the Blacklight Virus, and the unknown Sacred Gear, is this young man?"

"Surprised?" Asked Adrian, not expecting an answer. Rias spun around, defiant as before,

"I will listen to what you have to say at my headquarters! You won't mind if Akeno joins us?"

"The Priestess of Thunder? Of course I don't mind," said Grayfia, "In fact it's only proper for a nobel devil to have her queen by her side in times like these." Rias turned to Adrian.

"Forgive me for putting you out," she said with a blush, "please."

"Don't worry about it. I just want a straight answer about what is going on is all." Rias pecked him on the lips,

"Tomorrow, no doubt, you will finally get some answers." She then took a couple of steps away, "Now I suppose I should excuse myself." She gave him one last sad glance, and walked away, ready to be transported away by Grayfia, and Adrian could only watch as they vanished from his sight.

The next day...

Adrian was walking to school with Calvin, Katrina, Asia and Issei in tow, still trying to wrap his head around what had happened last night. His thoughts were soon shattered as Issei was attacked from behind by Matsuda and Motohama.

"Rot in hell traitor!" Shouted Motohama.

"Sorry," said Issei, rubbing the back of his head, "Isn't it a bit early to be so mad at me?"

"Imma kill you bitch!" Screamed Matsuda, "I know Andre the Giant when I see that shit dangle!"

"Not to mention he was dressed up like a princess!" Added Motohama angrily, "HE ASKED IF WE WERE MAGICAL!!" Calvin started to crack up laughing while Asia gave Katrina a confused glance, who responded with a shrug of her shoulders. Adrian took a step between Issei and the perverted duo,

"Alright, what the hell did Issei do THIS time?" The duo were quiet, and finally spoke,

"That little pansy tried to hook us up with a dude!" Whined Matsuda.

"It didn't help that he was having a tea party with a bunch of other grown men dressed like little girls!" Added Motohama, "It was the most horrifying thing of my life!"

"Yo! So Issei actually fooled you guys into doing that?" All eyes turned to Damon, now walking up to the group, a large shit-eating grin on his face. "And just so you morons know, it was my idea to hook you guys up. But I honestly didn't think Issei would have the balls to go through with it." He tilted to the side to look at Issei, "Cudos to you man!"

"Very shrewd, Damon," commented Adrian, "but that does remind me, which one of you two motherfuckers tried to talk Asia into a devils threeway?" Both perverts paled like ghosts, and ran like the wind out of sight. Soon all six of them met Wesker and Kiba outside the clubhouse.

"You're right," said Kiba, "I think something is bugging her. If I had to guess, I's say it's House of Gremory drama." He stopped abruptly, eyes turning from kind to serious, "There is one thing I can think of that would upset her, and it is pretty bad news." Damon raised an eyebrow, and turned to Wesker,

"So I haven't seen you in a while. Did you get to third base with Sona yet?" Wekser simply pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, a light blush overcoming his cheeks,

"None of your concern Damon."

Soon all of the ORC members were inside the clubhouse, seeing Koneko seated on one of the couches, Rias behind her desk, Akeno by her side, and Lady Grayfia standing behind the desk.

"Well everyone's here, good," said Rias, clearly upset.

"My lady, if you don't mind, may I have your permission to speak openly?" Asked Grayfia. Rias stood up,

"Let's hear her out." No one got the chance, as an orange magic circle appeared at the far end of the room, spouting fire and the scream of a bird. The flames died down, revealing a man in a burgundy suit, white shirt, and blonde hair with his back turned on everyone,

"Ah! And Riser has arrived in the human realm!" He turned to face the ORC, revealing uncaring blue eyes, and a twisted smile, "I've come all this way to see you! My beloved Rias...!" Most of the ORC already didn't like the new face, with Damon being the first to voice his displeasure,

"So who's the grown ass Hitler youth?"

"This gentleman is Lord Riser Phoenix," introduced Grayfia, shooting Damon a glare, "He is a pureblooded devil of noble birth, third heir in line to the House of Phoenix."

"...So who's the grown ass Hitler youth?" Damon repeated.

"He's also the Fiancé to the next Head of the House of Gremory." Adrian turned around, eyes bulging,

"Fiancé...to Rias...?"
