Author's Notes: I know I'm late with the new chapter but I've been busy and I didn't want to rush. So now on to the reviews.
The Storm Master 567: You'll find out in the chapter.
Stratos263: Sure thing.
Cobalt Striker Gundam: Well, when making the scene I wasn't thinking of Crows Zero. It was just something I decided for fun.
Keybladewielder97: Thank you. As to answer your question, I'm not really sure if I can pull that off properly. Maybe later on if I get some inspiration or something but as for right now, no.
KingofKings777: Thanks and no, RWBY characters won't appear. Vince got the idea of having Crescent Rose from looking on the internet and that happened to be RWBY.
ZeroSaga: Pretty much, as for a special scene with Rena? Probably. It depends on how the arc goes.
dholpagus: I don't think Vince would even consider doing that.
NERO TOVACK: He has no opinion on her, because he hasn't meet her yet.
enjiro99: All I said was that the song fits the arc to a certain extent. If the arc had an opening theme it would be a different song.
zero kazama: Glad you do.
Guest: No. She's not in love with Vince, at most it's a small physical attraction.
Durandel: I don't see them working together, if I'm perfectly honest. Their personalities would clash too much.
aquos: I can see it happen, a little later on. It all depends on the situtation.
ASTROFOX: Yeah. I don't have any plans with it at the moment. I do have other ideas in mind though.
sigmon: No he hasn't regained his ability to use ice magic.
Rein: That's a bit much and I haven't even decided yet on how to go about with the rating game between them.
Gigahouse: I'm surprised on that too. True there's that, but while Vince is attracted to older women, he won't act just on that alone.
Bael: I'll consider it, and Jeanne is a unique choice.
Blitzenf'n: For Vince's mom, her son is has always been her first priority.
Cloud: Oh, I see.
Ray Tenju: That's a good technique but Vince can't use any type of magic that's not from his Sacred Gear.
Well that's it for the reviews. I'm really surprised I got this much reviews, it's been fun replying to them. Now then on to the chapter.

"Is something wrong Vince? You haven't said a word since you've heard the weather report." Gabriel asked worriedly.
"It's nothing worth noting Gabriel." Vince reassured her, taking a sip of his coffee.
She nodded her head and smiled. "So how have you been doing since I last saw you Vince?"
"A little exhausted from how hectic my days usually are, but I'm pulling through." He replied sighing a little tiredly.
Gabriel tilted her head cutely. "What happened Vince?"
"I just can't have any privacy nowadays." Vince answered with a shrug.
"Oh."
"So, how are you and your brother doing?" He asked, taking a sip of his coffee.
"I'm doing well. My meeting with the Vatican's leaders just finished before I came to see you. Micheal is very busy he's working with Azazel is to create a special system for angels." Gabriel replied smiling.
"System?"
"Yes. It's supposed to work like the Evil Piece system, Devil's use." She answered innocently.
"Oh, I see. It'll help the population growth of angels then." Vince stated nodding a little.
(Hmm... what do I do about that Lunar Eclipse? It'll cause a lot of trouble but I do want do deal with the problem. Maybe I should ask Yume for her thoughts on this...) He thought, staring intently at the window.
"How is Elena doing Vince?" Gabriel asked, snapping him out of his thoughts.
Vince noticed Gabriel looking at him and shook his head a little. "Huh? Oh. My mom is doing fine. Nothing has really changed."
"I'm glad that your mother is doing well." She said smiling a bit.
"Yeah..."
An attractive waitress, with a black hair and a sizeable bust walked towards the table and smiled. "Is everything well?"
Vince gave a small nod. "Yeah, it's pretty good."
The waitress smiled and turned to Gabriel who smiled and nodded. "Yes. The coffee is very good."
"That's great to hear. Let me know if you two need anything." The waitress nodded and gave a sly smile. "I'll just leave you two alone now. Good luck with your boyfriend."
Vince shook his head in disbelief, while Gabriel tilted her head to the side, confused. "Boyfriend? Is it some kind of best friend or something?"
The waitress giggled at their expression and left. He saw the still confused look on her face and took out a pocket sized dictionary. "A boyfriend is a regular male companion with whom one has a romantic or sexual relationship. In other words, it's similar to a husband and a wife's relationship during a marriage but not as binding."
A small blush appeared on Gabriel's face while Vince put away his pocket sized dictionary, unaware of her blushing.
"U-Umm, are you in a relationship Vince?" Gabriel asked shyly.
"I don't know to be perfectly honest. It's hard for me to tell, though I think I am given with what I've done." Vince answered with a slightly confused expression.
"Done?"
Vince rubbed his temples, stressed for a moment before he blinked. "Gabriel. Do you remember Adam and Eve? Along with one of the seven deadly sins, Lust?"
"Yes, I do. Why?" She asked looking confused.
"On multiple occasions, I indulged in my lust with two different women and did the same thing Adam and Eve did to populate the human race, minus increasing the population." Vince answered bluntly.
"Eh?" Gabriel looked absolutely lost on what Vince said and stood silent for a few moments before a sudden look of realization appeared on her face. Her eyes widened greatly as a large blush appeared on her face. "V-Vince! You shouldn't do such things! Indulging in your lust is horrible thing to do and those types of activities should be done with the person you love!"
Vince scratched his cheek, looking slightly surprised from Gabriel's lecture. After a few moments of silence he shrugged a little. "It's not as bad as it seems. Besides, I already did that when I use my Sacred Gear, to turn into an angel."
"H-Huh?!"
Gabriel's eyes widened in shock, while he finished drinking his coffee. "Incase, you're wondering. I didn't fall."
"How did you not fall?" She asked sounding surprised.
"The angel DNA my Sacred Gear holds is not apart of the system in Heaven. Because of that, I'm not tied down by the rules the other angels have to follow. It takes a lot more for me to fall and if I do, I can just undo the transformation and it'll revert back into to normal." Vince explained causing her eyes to gasp.
"That's quite the surprise." Gabriel spoke her eyes widening at the explanation.
"I guess."
The two then started talking more amongst themselves, Vince ignoring the hateful and jealous glares from the men in the café, while Gabriel remained oblivious. The two then ordered a meal and started eating in silence. After finishing their meal, Vince paid for everything much to Gabriel's reluctance and the two walked out the café.
"Thank you for treating me Vince. But will you be ok? You did pay for my meal..." Gabriel spoke sounding concerned.
"It's fine. 'Sides, I invited you so it's my treat." Vince said waving off her concerns.
Gabriel nodded and then smiled. "Then next time I will invite you for a meal."
"You sure about that?" He asked with a skeptical expression.
"Yes. I'm sure." She replied innocently.
Vince rolled his eyes but nodded a little with a small smile. "Alright then. Take care Gabriel."
"You too Vince."
Gabriel brought Vince into a hug and smiled. He sighed and gently patted her back.
xXxXxXxXxX
Vince raised an eyebrow when he saw the students leaving the school ground. (It looks like the school day ended. Did I really spend that much time with Gabriel? Oh well, at least I can get my backpack from the class.)
He noticed that the majority of the male students immediately backed away from him while the female students looked at him in admiration. (Troublesome...)
Upon walking into the classroom he saw his backpack and quickly grabbed it. Just as he was about to leave the room Vince was greeted both Sona and Rias, who stood near the entrance of the room, both of them looking unamused.
"We need to have a word with you Vince." Sona spoke in a strict tone.
An annoyed look appeared on his face. "Is it important?"
"It is." Rias said frowning.
"Alright."
"Why exactly did you injure the majority of the male students, in the courtyard at lunch?" Sona asked in a strict tone.
Vince shrugged, unaffected by Sona's tone. "I was shoved into the ground by one of them. Not to mention, they were surrounding my friend."
"And you decided because of that to attack all of them?" Rias asked frowning.
"Yes. They're not serious injuries anyway." He replied crossing his arms.
Sona frowned deepened. "All of them had to go to the nurse's office to be treated. Not to mention, you blatantly skipped school for the rest of the remaining day."
"They're lucky that, that's all I did. What they did was pretty much an invasion of personal space. Besides, it doesn't matter whether I skip school or not." Vince answered in a nonchalant tone.
"I see. But let it be known, that I will not tolerate such violent behavior. Skipping school is also against the rules-" Sona was then interrupted by Vince who raised his hand in response.
"I don't care and at the moment, I have permission. Seeing as I'm already ahead of everyone in my class." He interjected surprising the two.
"Permission?" Rias asked raising an eyebrow.
"Explain." Sona spoke frowning.
Vince placed his backpack on his back and rolled his eyes. "Whatever. I asked for permission to receive all of my homework for the remaining school days until summer vacation starts. I turned in all of my homework this morning and as a result, I'm ahead of everyone until the next semester."
He then walked towards the door, passing by them. "For the record, I have no obligation to listen to either of you. Not only do I not give a damn, I'm also not apart of either of your peerages, so shove it."
"That may be, but you go to this school and I expect you to follow the rules here-" Sona tentatively continued. "If you continue to do this there will be a problem."
"I'll keep that in mind." Vince deadpanned.
"Just one last question." Sona stated, causing Rias to raise an eyebrow.
"What?"
"What is the exact reason why you refuse to join a peerage, or even help? I couldn't help but notice that the last past days your resentment over peerages has increased considerably, why is that?" Sona questioned mildly.
"Is that really any either of your businesses?" He questioned turning his gaze to the both of them.
"Can you answer the question Vince?" Rias asked looking at him.
Vince's gaze on the two intensified, despite the intensity of the gaze the two continued to look at him, undeterred. He then took his backpack and opened it, both Sona and Rias' eyes widen when they saw him dump a pile of letters on the desk.
"W-What is all of this?" Rias asked looking through all of the letters, that were already opened.
"Most of them are invitations to join a peerage the others are marriage requests. I found all of them stuffed in my locker." Vince answered, his eyebrow twitching violently.
Sona frowned as she looked through the pile of letters. "I wasn't aware of this."
"Who found out about this?" Rias asked looking through the letters with a visible frown.
"Not sure. Either way, if I see the person I'm going to make them regret it." He spoke his expression darkening considerably.
"Keep the letters. I don't have any use for them." Vince walked out of the classroom, not even bothering to spare them a glance as he left.
xXxXxXxXxX
Elena raised an eyebrow when she heard someone knocking. Opening the door, she smiled upon seeing Vince. "How are you doing Vince?"
"Well. I got your call along the way home. You and the others returning home tonight?" Vince questioned, in a curious tone.
"Yeah. It's been nice staying here, so but we gotta head back home." Elena spoke smiling a little.
"Say mom..."
She sighed softly and patted his head. "Is it about what happened in the that treaty yesterday?"
"You already know?" He asked raising an eyebrow.
"Venelana and Sirzechs told me about it. You really fought hard." She commented smiling a little.
A frown appeared on his face. "Even though I killed so many people?"
"You did." A frown also appeared on Elena's face, matching his. "I don't like it one bit. But it couldn't be helped. Your life along with everyone else's were in danger. You had to do what was important."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome, Vince." She said smiling softly.
"Mom. I got a call from him a day before the treaty." Vince stated.
Her eyes narrowed upon hearing this. "What did the bastard want?"
"Word got out that I'm engaged to Rias. The prick wanted me to ask her to lend me a lot of money. Apparently he needs the money because he got into a big debt and wants me to give it to him. He did say he was going to pay me back, but I don't buy that for a second." He remarked, scowling a bit.
"Just how low will you sink... you bastard..." Elena muttered shaking her head.
Vince nodded and sighed a little. "Mom, do you think you can tell Venelana about this so she's aware?"
"Don't worry, I'll tell her. Are you going to tell Rias?" She asked curiously.
"I will."
The two remained silent for a few moments until Elena frowned. "Let's change the subject. It's not worth worrying over. I could careless if he's really in debt, he can rot for all I care."
"Agreed."
"So Vince, are you and Rena going to do that little tradition where you meet with Rossweisse to train before summer vacation starts?" Elena asked as she walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.
She grabbed a can of soda and tossed it to Vince to which he caught with his right hand. "Yeah. I also already did all of the school work for the rest of the semester so I won't be left behind."
Her eyes widened in response, as she grabbed a bottle of water and closed the refrigerator door. "Well, that's a shock. You didn't do that last time."
"I learned my lesson last time after I nearly flunked from missing that many school days. It was troublesome to deal with the school work but at least I'll won't have to deal with it later on." He responded, shrugging.
"Point taken. Either way, we decided to meet at Rena's house this time. So we'll actually be a mile or two away from you. Though, we'll be leaving a day after you leave." Vince stated.
A smile appeared on her face. "That's ok. I'm just glad you'll be nearby."
Vince nodded as he opened the can of soda and took a few gulps. "Say mom, there's something I need to tell you. It's about my Sacred Gears, you already know about them right?"
"Yes, I do. Sirzechs explained what a Sacred Gear is. What about yours?" Elena asked raising an eyebrow.
"It's about one of them. The one that was forbidden by God, Angel/Devil-" Vince then went into an in-depth explanation, explaining who's DNA was in the Sacred Gear and about what happened in the clubroom. "That's pretty much where the genetics came from and the luggage that comes with them."
Elena blinked twice, completely surprised at the recent turn of events. She shook her head and sighed. "What are you going to do Vince?"
"Nothing. I don't have any intention of taking up their responsibilities, though I might take a sneak peek at the Valefor clan's treasure. Their might be something in there place. Since we're poor, I don't see why not." Vince responded with a small smirk.
Elena shook her head with an amused smile. "Why am I not surprised?"
"Heh. Anyway, I should get going now." He said shaking his head.
"Can you stay for a little longer Vince? I'm making your favorite meal." Elena said as she hugged him.
Vince's eyes lit up, as he looked relatively surprised. "Wait really?"
"Yeah, spicy beef stew with vegetables and white rice. Can you peel the potatoes and the carrots?" She asked smiling a bit.
"No problem. I'll get started now." Vince said as he returned the hug.
He got out of the hug and quickly went to the kitchen as Elena smiled. She turned towards her cellphone and she started dialing. "Come on, pick up..."
After Venelana's voice was heard through the other line, Elena then cleared her throat and spoke up in a slightly annoyed tone. "Hey Venelana, we need to have a talk. It's about something you should be aware of..."
xXxXxXxXxX
Vince stopped walking towards a hill near a tree and raised an eyebrow upon seeing Hayate with Ryu, Ayane and Momiji appear just a few feet in front of him. "Did something happen again?"
"No nothing of the sort." Hayate said shaking his head.
A look of confusion appeared on Vince's face as Ryu spoke. "We are merely here to thank you. If it wasn't for your efforts, things may have taken a turn for the worst."
"Oh."
"If there's anything we can do within our power, we will do it. It's the least we can do, we heard of how brutal the battle was." Momiji spoke with a small nod.
"Alright. I want Kasumi and Akari to be able to visit their Shiden and Ayame-san whenever they want to, without any worry of being hunted." Vince responded, surprising them with the exception of Ryu who raised an eyebrow.
"Why would you want a reward like that?" Ayane asked frowning.
"I don't see why not." Vince then turned to Hayate. "Think you can make it happen Hayate?"
"I'm not really sure." Hayate spoke shaking his head. "It'll be hard to convince the others though. It's against clan traditions to allow run-away ninjas to walk in the village."
"Just a question. With what I did, does that mean the Mugen Tenshin clan owe me right?" He asked smirking a little.
Hayate noticed the smirk but said nothing about it, and nodded instead. "Yes. Where are you going with this Vince?"
"One of the traditions your clan holds dear is to repay the debt they owe, right? I'm pretty sure it would bring a great shame to the clan if a simple request to allow two girls to see their parents would be rejected. You're the leader too so it's more possible to make this happen." Vince explained causing Hayate's eyes to widen.
"I see what you mean now. With what you did, you helped prevented the entire village from being targeted and refusing to repay one's debt is a big dishonor." Hayate responded with a nod.
Vince placed his index finger to his forehead and smirked. "Exactly. Given how grave the situation was, they would be hard pressed not to agree with the idea. Kasumi also returned the Torn Sky Blast scroll after it was stolen and both she along with Akari helped made the treaty a success. The others who would disagree are stuck between a rock and a hard place, if they refuse go against one of their most important traditions in the clan. Run-away ninja or not, it would look pretty bad, especially if the whole story gets out."
"And just how did you learn about that tradition?" Ayane asked raisng an eyebrow.
"Ayame-san told me about it when I was younger." He replied shrugging.
"Still-" Hayate crossed his arms, deep in thought. "It might actually work. While Kasumi and Akari can't be admitted back into the clan they can at least visit without any worry."
"That plan is quite bold though." Ryu then turned towards Vince. "You do realize the risks there are with that plan, right?"
Vince however stuffed his hands in his pockets. "It doesn't really matter to me at this point. Anyway, that's all I want."
"We'll see what we can do Vince." Hayate answered with a nod.
He nodded and started to walk away until he heard Hayate calling to him, turning around he raised an eyebrow.
"I'm sorry we couldn't do much to help you, and Vince...?" Hayate trailed off.
"Yeah?"
"Be careful out there." He said seriously.
Vince said nothing but gave a small wave, indicating that he heard him.
xXxXxXxXxX
Vince noticed Rias working in the clubroom inside of the old school building and walked towards her. "Rias. I need to have a word with you."
Rias huffed and turned her head the other way, causing him to roll his eyes.
"That's fine by me. I just need to you to listen." He replied with a small shrug.
She said nothing but seemed to pay attention.
Vince rubbed his temples, looking frustrated but cleared his throat. "If you somehow come into contact with a man claiming to be my father asking you for money, don't give him anything."
He promptly turned around and was about to walk out the door until he was stopped by Rias. "Yeah?"
A tickmark appeared on her face, she gave him annoyed glare. "You're not even going to explain or even apologize for what you said to me earlier?!"
"You didn't seem like you were in the mood to talk. I just wanted you to hear anyway." Vince replied nonchantly.
"You're unbelieveable Vince..." She said shaking his head.
"So, do you want me to explain or not?" He asked curiously.
Rias frowned and crossed her arms, causing her breasts to rise. "Of course I want you to explain."
"It's simple. If you talk to a man claiming to be my father and he asks to borrow money, don't even bother with him. Odds are he won't pay you back, not even a yen." Vince explained, scowling.
"Is he even your real father?" Rias asked frowning.
"Biologically yes. But he's garbage, it's the same guy you and the others heard me talking to in the mall a few weeks ago." Vince commented harshly.
Rias' eyes widened at the amount of malice in his voice. "I see. What did he do to you?"
"Akeno and I have a few things in common." He answered in a cryptic tone.
Her expression softened upon hearing this, knowing what he meant by that. "I see, I never knew."
Vince nodded in response. "My mother is already telling your mother about this, so she'll be aware of it."
"I see. So Okaa-sama, most likely knows by now..." Rias mused.
"I'll be going now. ...And for what it's worth, I'm sorry for snapping at you earlier." He said sighing.
Rias smiled and hugged Vince. "It's ok. I forgive you Vince."
Vince awkwardly returned the hug and nodded. After a few moments later, he pulled away. "Later Rias."
She pouted from him pulling away but gave a small nod. "Take care Vince."
xXxXxXxXxX
Vince lied down on the grass of the school courtyard, underneath a tree and sighed. "Yume. You know happens to me during the lunar eclipse, right?"
[Yes I do. It's really stressful when that happens.] Yume responded with a small sigh.
"Have any suggestions how to deal with it? It's tomorrow night and I rather not accidently submerge everything in water, or crush someone by mistake." He asked in a stressed tone.
[The best thing to do would be to ask Azazel for assistance. He is an expert with Sacred Gears, or you could ask him to get a container to absorb energy from the moon during the lunar eclipse and train under it after it passes until you can get used to it.] She offered in an optimistic tone.
"I prefer the second option better." Vince answered with a deadpan expression.
He got up from the grass and walked towards the inside of the school building. "I have to see him either way. Rena's parents already gave me the file for Chloe so I have to give that to him as well."
xXxXxXxXxX
"Oh Vince. Is something wrong?" Azazel asked upon noticing him enter the teacher's lounge.
Vince took out a folder from his backpack and gave it to him. "I got the file from Rena's parents. It contains about her current condition and what's happened with her over the past two years."
Azazel took the folder and started reading it, after a few minutes of reading he placed the folder down let out a low whistle. "Somebody obviously didn't like her very much if she's going through that. That toxin in her body is eating away at her body within, trying to remove all functions to the brain. While the curse is breaking down her entire body. All of her organs are failing and the bones are deteriorating rapidly."
Vince clenched his fist and sighed. "That wasn't meant for her. That was originally meant to happen to me."
"I see, so she took the hit for you. Well at the very least she put into a coma like state to avoid the curse and toxin from progressing. The magic spell used on her is very powerful. It's almost as if her body frozen within time." He spoke, sounding impressed.
(I remember that. Rossweisse's grandmother helped Rena's parents with that spell to stop her body from eroding.) Vince thought shaking his head.
"No need to worry about it. I'll have to take a closer look at this. It looks very complicated but maybe there's a way around it." Azazel said grinning.
Vince breathed a small sigh of relief. "Right. There's something else I need to ask you."
"What is it?"
"I need something that'll absorb and contain the lunar energies for the lunar eclipse tomorrow." He answered, making Azazel raise an eyebrow.
"And why would you want something like that?" He asked turning his gaze towards him.
"I'm not going to avoid answering that question, aren't I?" Vince questioned, shaking his head.
"Nope."
Vince sighed and pointed to the Sacred Gear on his hand. "Just like how a lunar eclipse affects the tides it does a similar thing to me. Every lunar eclipse my Sacred Gear goes out of control with my ability to use water magic and it can get really hectic."
The statement peeked his interest as Azazel now looked curious. "And how hectic it can be?"
"Last time, I submerged a church in water before it was crushed under the water pressure and the water around moves with me." He answered shaking his head.
Azazel nodded but visibly looked confused. "What exactly do you mean by that?"
"The water around the area comes to close to me. If anything remotely dangerous comes in my direction the water acts accordingly to defend me." Vince responded with a small shrug.
"That's interesting. Is there anything else you noted about your Sacred Gear during the lunar eclipse?" Azazel asked curiously.
Vince closed his eyes and remained silent, deep in thought. After a minute or two of silence he opened his eyes. "Aside from my Sacred Gear's water magic being extremely powerful and having the water defend me without doing anything, not really. Though the only thing worth nothing is that I can't use any lightning magic during that period and controlling everything is very difficult."
Azazel furrowed his brow. "Is your other Sacred Gear affected by the lunar eclipse."
"Not to my knowledge and no, I do not want to test that out." He commented dryly.
"Alright. Come see me first thing after school, I'll get a container ready by then. We'll have to get started on your training under the effects of the lunar eclipse as soon as it possible."
Vince however shook his head. "That will have to wait. I'm going back to where I used to live the day after the lunar eclipse. I have something important to do."
"I see. Does it have anything to do with that girl, Chloe?" Azazel asked raising an eyebrow.
He turned around with a small frown. "That's half of the reason why I'm going back there. I'll be back around the time summer vacation starts."
Azazel nodded in response. "Do the others know about this?"
"Only Rena and my mom knows. I don't want too many people to know about this." Vince answered.
xXxXxXxXxX
(Next Day: School Roof)
Kasumi saw Vince staring at the sky with vacant expression and looked a little confused before smiling. "Hello Vince."
He remained unresponsive to her call as he continued to gaze at the sky pensively. A worried expression appeared on her face as she went to Vince and tapped him on the shoulder. "Is something wrong Vince?"
Being snapped out of his thoughts Vince turned around and saw Kasumi wearing the Kuoh's school girl uniform, with her hair down. He blinked twice upon noticing her worried expression. "Oh Kasumi, what's up?"
"Nothing. I was just checking up on you, you were spaced out. Is something wrong?" Kasumi asked worriedly.
"It's nothing important Kasumi." Vince looked around her, checking and blinked twice. "I'm surprised. Akari, Rena, Rias or Akeno are here."
Kasumi shook her head with a smile. "No, it's just me."
"That's rare."
"It is." Kasumi linked her arm around his arm and leaned her head against his shoulder. "I'm happy that it's just us now."
"That's rather bold of you Kasumi." Vince commented with a small blush.
"I-I know. But I don't mind if it's just us alone." She said blushing a little.
"Or when your jealous from the other girls trying to make a move on me." He pointed out.
Kasumi pouted a little and gripped his arm a little tighter. "I can't help it."
A playful smile appeared on his face. "I never thought you would have the capacity to feel jealous. You're always so innocent and meek not to mention, soft. Just as surprising as when I first saw you grown up in the first Dead or Alive tournament. I did not expect you to look like that."
To Vince's surprise, she gave out an annoyed look. She then pinched his arm, causing him to slightly wince. "Very funny Vince. And just how exactly did you expect me to look like?"
"Pretty much like Ayame-san." Vince answered honestly as he swatted away Kasumi's hand from pinching his skin.
Kasumi smiled and kissed him on the cheek. Vince sighed and turned towards her. "Say, Kasumi..."
"Yes?"
"I'm going to be leaving tomorrow. I'll be heading back with Rena to America." Vince stated.
Kasumi's eyes widened greatly. "How come Vince?"
"I have some unfinished business to take care of, that and I'll be meeting up with another friend of mine there." He explained with a small shrug.
"I see. Will you be back?" She asked curiously.
Vince sighed and turned towards the sky. "I'll be back when summer vacation starts."
"That will be a little over two months then." Kasumi pointed out, frowning a little.
"Yeah..."
"Does anyone else know?" She questioned.
"Only four people. I'd rather not have anyone else know." Vince replied.
Kasumi sighed and gave a small nod. "Will you tell Rias and Akeno?"
"No. They'll probably try to stop me from going and it'll make a mess." He stated shaking his head a little.
"That is true." She mused.
"Kasumi, can you do me a favor and tell Akari this for me? I would do it myself, if I wasn't so limited on time..." Vince trailed off, frowning.
"Don't worry Vince, I'll tell Akari as soon as I get the chance." Kasumi reassured, placing her hand on his shoulder.
"Thanks. ...Kasumi?"
"Yes?"
"...Want to make-out?" Vince asked bluntly.
A blush appeared on Kasumi's face before she nodded with a small smile. "S-Sure, but let's move closer to the exit. It would be embarrassing if someone saw us."
"Point taken. I do not want people to see from us from looking up." Vince remarked as the two went closer to the roof exit.
Without wasting any time the two leaned in and kissed each other on the lips. They wrapped their arms around each other's neck and within moments deepened the kiss.
The two continued to make out as their faces heat up with noticeable blushes. Before the two continued however, the door suddenly opened.
Both Rias and Sona stood there with wide eyes as they saw Vince and Kasumi making out.
Sona looked embarrassed while Rias glared jealously, she went up to the two and forcibly pulled them apart. "What are you two doing!?"
"Can't you tell? We were having a private moment." Vince deadpanned.
Kasumi's face further reddened in embarrassment from being caught and in addition looked relatively annoyed from being interrupted. "Please refrain from interrupting us Rias, Sona-san."
Rias glared at Kasumi while she in turn did the same. Sona however cleared her throat, regaining her composure. "It's indecent to do such things in school and it's also against the rules-"
As Sona continued her lecture Vince leaned in and whispered in Kasumi's ears. "Can you use your ninpo to get us away from here?"
Kasumi nodded and with a smile on her face and grabbed Vince. "I apologize but we have somewhere we need to be. It's after school so excuse us."
The two then disappeared in a small whirlwind of cherry blossom petals, leaving both Rias and Sona with annoyed expressions.
xXxXxXxXxX
Vince walked towards the teacher's lounge with a small smirk on his face and a few bruises on his neck.
Upon entering the room Azazel noticed Vince's bruises on his neck along with the small smirk, and smirked himself. "Nice job Vince. Who was it?"
He blinked twice, "You could tell?"
"Kid. You have a smirk and bruises all over your neck, not to mention you have another woman's perfume on you. It's that obvious." Azazel said rolling his eyes.
Vince palmed his face and shook his head in annoyance.
Azazel let out a low whistle. "You have the smell of cherry blossom perfume on you, so I think that was either Kasumi or her clone, Akari."
Vince then cleared his throat. "The container?"
"Yeah, I have right here." He said taking out a small cube shaped container with a button on top.
"Will this thing really work?" Vince asked looking a bit skeptical.
"Of course it will. It can hold a lot of lunar energy, just press the button and it do all the work. Once it's done it'll stop and you can go home." Azazel explained.
He took the small container and placed the container in his pocket. "Alright, thanks. How's everything with the file?"
"So far so good. After looking everything over, I can definitely say Rena's parents are on the right track on to finding the cure. I'll be finished by tomorrow." Azazel replied nonchalantly.
"That's good to hear." Vince said as he walked out of the room.
xXxXxXxXxX
Vince stood in his room looking through his closet. After a few minutes of silence, he took out a set of clothes. "This should do for tonight."
A few seconds later Vince stood in front of the mirror in his bathroom and examined himself.
He now wore a gray shirt, a black hoodie, black sleeveless gloves, black cargo pants and a pair of black gym shoes. Vince turned towards a broken ring on his dresser. (The ring and the clothes Rena's mom made broke in the fight at the treaty. I think she'll understand given who the opponent was. I believe Rena's ring and clothes were also broken too.)
"Yume."
[Yes Vince?]
"There's something I've been wanting to ask for a while, why is it that I can use Sacred Darkness with Arondight? Does it have to do with Lailah's DNA in my Sacred Gear?" Vince questioned with a raised eyebrow.
Her response was to nod. [When Arondight is being used, it taps into the genetic trait of using Sacred Darkness. That's why you're able to use it after you "fall" when using Lailah's DNA to turn into an angel. The sword itself is filled with resentment and hatred from Lancelot's feelings.]
He nodded with a contempt look. "Hmm... Is there anything I can do about it?"
[Well, I don't know if it can go back to being a holy sword again but maybe you can help quell the resentment and hatred from Arondight.] Yume suggested.
"Sounds good. I'll do that later, when I have some free time. I'm going to be busy for a while." Vince said sighing a little.
[Do you know what to do?] She asked curiously.
"No. But I have a hunch-" Vince stretched his arms and legs. "Lancelot's resentment and hatred is inside of Arondight, but he's still a knight. Maybe I can challenge the sword to a fight and take it from there."
[That's really risky Vince. You could lose and be consumed by it, are you sure?] Yume questioned in a concerned tone.
"Yeah. Besides, I'm used to feeling hatred and resentment, it won't be that much different from a family reunion." Vince commented dryly.
[Vince...]
"What? I'm not referring to me. Whenever my mom's family gathers for a family reunion it usually turns into a hate fest. They all secretly hate each other and each act like hypocrites." He responded.
[H-Huh? Why would you or Elena-san want to go to a place like that?] Yume asked with a perplexed expression.
"Well for my mom, it's because she gets to see old family members that she hasn't seen over in a decade, that and she'll get a free meal along with me since a family reunion is usually held at a restaurant and she doesn't have to pay." Vince explained casually.
A sweatdrop appeared on Yume as she laughed sheepishly. [And you Vince?]
"The free meal and I get some training in." He replied.
[Training?]
A small smirk appeared on his face as he started chuckling. "You'd be surprised what I could learn in a reunion. I was able to sense and feel the hatred and hypocrisy in that place. I asked Rena's dad to give me a small device to see how much malice and ill will, a family reunion of mine had. The device also recorded the malice too."
A curious expression appeared on her face. [How much malice did the device take in?]
"It was on par with how much malice an experienced senjutsu would take in." Vince answered in a nonchalant tone.
[Oh god...]
His response was to shrug. "It was a good learning experience though. I was able to feel and take in the malice like Rena does with her senjutsu and she got a good work out with trying to get used to all of that malice."
He got out of his room from his window and stood on top of the side of his roof. "Now to find a good place, so the container can absorb the energy of the lunar eclipse."
Vince closed his window and jumped off from the roof, landing on the ground and took off, sprinting.
xXxXxXxXxX
Near the outskirts of Kuoh, a small grassy field stood with several large trees and a large red moon.
Vince walked towards the field and saw the moon. He grabbed his chest with his hand as he felt a large pulse of energy enter him. "D-Damn..."
He shook his head and took out the small cubed container, after pressing the button on top of the container it suddenly opened and it started absorb the energy from the moon.
Vince noticed a large trail of light blue particles enter into container and blinked twice. "So that's what it looks like."
He sat down on the ground as he watched the particles being absorbed by the container. Unconsciously Vince, created a small sphere of water though much to his ire the sphere was actually twice the size he intended. "...Shit."
Vince tossed the sphere of water away, the sphere went through several trees, destroying it in the process. But to his surprise, the water sphere continued to travel and it destroyed a section of the entrance to Kuoh academy. "At least it was something I didn't like."
He turned his attention towards the moon, still during the lunar eclipse. Vince stood there mesmerized by the red moon. Unaware of the blue aura surrounding his body, he looked down and upon noticing quickly averted his gaze from the moon, the aura mostly faded away and as a result his body emitted the same light blue particles as the one that's entering in the container.
Unbeknownst to Vince the entire Occult Research Club and the Student Council along with Azazel were watching him from a distance behind several trees.
Sona's eye violently twitched at the destruction towards at school entrance but pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed.
"What happened to Vince?" Issei asked looking confused.
"It looks like at his power is at the moment is on par with his Balance Breaker." Kiba noted with a small frown.
"But Reinhart-san is struggling to control his Sacred Gear." Tsubaki stated, also frowning.
"The moon is affecting his Sacred Gear. It's similar how the moon affects the ocean tides." Sona pointed out.
Rias turned to Azazel with a questioning look. "Why did you bring us here Azazel?"
"I'll explain when Kasumi, Akari and Rena are here." Azazel said waving off her question.
A few moments later, Akari, Rena and Kasumi appeared next to them with concerned looks.
"Did something happen with Vince?" Akari asked.
"He's much more powerful but his control is almost non-existent." Kasumi commented sounding concerned.
Rena nodded in agreement. "I've never seen Vince like this before and what's with those particles around him?"
Azazel then turned to Rena with a raised eyebrow. "You've dated Vince before and he never told you this?"
"No. Vince usually doesn't like to talk about himself." Rena answered, sounding mildly annoyed.
Azazel cleared his throat, gaining everyone's attention. "What's happening to Vince now is rare occurrence, because of how often a lunar eclipse happens. It's like what every one of you noted earlier. Under the lunar eclipse, his power is greatly increased and it's close with his own Balance Breaker. However, he cannot control that power and in addition can't use any of his usual lightning magic. Everything is over powered by his water magic and if his description is anything to go by, it seems to have a mind of it's own."
"A mind of it's own?" Rias asked raising an eyebrow.
"What does that mean Azazel-sensei?" Saji asked, completely confused.
"Any form of water will immediately protect Vince from anything it deems harmful and accordingly in response to the threat. Vince asked for a container to absorb the energy from the lunar eclipse so he can train under it to learn how to control himself. I brought you all here to prevent any of you from stumbling on to Vince, he's dangerous at the moment and could unintentionally harm either one of you." Azazel explained seriously.
Their eyes widened at the explanation, before either one of them could speak up, a sudden voice interrupted them.
"Hello, what are you doing all the way out here?"
Everyone turned to see Vince with a raised eyebrow who was currently next to a young woman. A slender yet curvaceous young woman of a French descent in her late teens, of average height. Having violet colored eyes and an innocent looking face, hip-length blond hair with a ponytail in a braid with a blue ribbon at the end and wore a sleeveless, white dress shirt with a blue tie, a knee-length navy blue skirt, white socks and shoes.
He noticed the container on the ground stopped absorbing the lunar energy and pressed the button on top, to close the container. "Looking around."
The young woman looked confused and titled her head. "Oh. What was that light show?"
"It's a school project." Vince answered simply as he pocketed the container.
She nodded and titled her head cutely." My name is Jeanne. What's your name?"
(She's up to something...) Vince got up from the ground and took a glance at her. "Vince Reinhart."
The young woman noticed this and smiled. "It's nice to meet you Vince-kun."
From behind the trees, almost everyone took a step back away from Rias, Akeno, Rena, Akari and Kasumi whom each glared at Jeanne.
"Why does Reinhart get all of the hot girls!?" Saji shouted in jealously.
"It's so unfair! He's not even a bishounen!" Issei yelled, bringing his head down in despair, before he was comforted by Asia who patted his head.
"Well. This is certainly unexpected." Xenovia spoke, uncertain on how to respond.
"Hah! Judging by how much attention she's giving him, I think Vince just found the one night stand he was looking for." Azazel commented grinning a bit.
The four women heard that and emitted an ominous killing intent. Azazel then chuckled a little. "He has his eye on her, he may do something with her here."
"No! I won't allow that to happen!" Rias shouted before she was restrained by Sona.
"Vince doesn't know we're here. You can't charge in so recklessly, Rias." Sona stated, she noticed the other three about to move and gestured for the others to restrain them.
"Akeno-san, you have to stay still." Tsubaki said holding her back.
Tsubasa gritted her teeth as she held down Rena from running. "Rena, don't go they'll find out...!"
Kasumi frowned as she took a deep breath and calmed down. Akari did the same albeit with some difficulty.
Azazel sighed and shook his head. "That's enough. We can't barge in right now it's too risky, just calm down."
"It looks like I'll have to have a word with Vince later." Rena responded as she stopped struggling.
"And I'll have to punish Vince later." Akeno commented with a sadistic smile.
"Not before I do." Rias muttered.
"I hope Vince has a good reason for this." Kasumi said in a neutral tone.
"Agreed." Akari added frowning a bit.
"Jeanne." Vince spoke, his voice gaining everyone's attention.
Everyone turned to the two as Jeanne looked a little confused. "Yes, Vince-kun?"
"Why are you here and don't tell me it's a coincidence. We both know that's not true." He remarked.
"Wow, you sure get straight to the point Vince-kun, I like that." She said innocently.
"Well?"
"Well..." Jeanne placed a finger to her mouth and innocently bended down slightly to give Vince a better view of her breasts. "Cao-kun wanted to come invite you to join, but I volunteered to do that myself."
"Join what?" He asked taking a glance at her breasts.
"The Hero Faction, we fight to defeat evil beings like Devils, Fallen Angels and Dragons. That brings harm to humans." Jeanne answered cheerfully.
"I see... what makes you think I'm a good candidate to be included?" Vince asked raising an eyebrow.
"Cao-kun has been watching you for a while. He's actually impressed by what you've done so far especially since you're human." She replied smiling.
"I take it that person is the leader. What's his full name?" He questioned frowning a little.
Jeanne pouted a little in response. "Jeez, you sure ask a lot of questions Vince-kun, but you're right! His name is Cao Cao descendant of the original Cao Cao from the Chinese novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms."
(Never heard of that novel before.) Vince nodded and crossed his arms. "Huh... is everyone a human descendant of a hero from the past?"
"Not everyone is a descendant of a hero Vince-kun." She said shaking her head.
"And I take it you are?" He guessed.
"Yup! I'm the descendant of the Maiden of Orléans, Joan of Arc." Jeanne answered in a cheerful tone.
"I heard you talk about Devil, Fallen Angels and Dragons being evil, but what about angels? They can be just as vindictive as the others when they get the chance." Vince questioned.
Jeanne blinked owlishly at the question, not expecting it. "Well we don't normally go after angels but we will deal with them if they get in the way."
He raised an eyebrow at her surprised expression, but nodded. "I see. Not sure if I can join though, but I can already guess you know what my Sacred Gears can do right?"
"Uhuh, Cao-kun's okay with it. Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire! Besides, your heart is still the same right?" Jeanne asked curiously.
"I guess."
"See? Then it's fine! We should go soon though-" Jeanne pursed her lips and turned to the entrance of Kuoh. "Those devils will notice us soon."
"One last question. You kept talking about the Hero Faction but you never once talked about who's affiliated with it. Answer that question and I'll give you my answer." Vince stated seriously.
Jeanne momentarily look annoyed but smiled cheerfully. "The Khaos Brigade. We're the second largest faction in it."
Vince stuffed his hands in his pockets. "Yeah, I'll pass on that. Nothing against you and your boss, but I don't want anything to do with an organization that tried to kill me twice."
Jeanne hummed a bit before shaking her head. "Nope! I was told to bring you back willing or just abduct you. It's a shame Vince-kun, you're pretty cute but now you're coming with me conscious or not."
Vince rolled his eyes. "You just don't know how to take no for answer, do you?"
"I've never been denied before and I'm not starting today." Jeanne responded smiling as she flicked her fingers.
A large magic circle appeared underneath them and moments later Vince was surrounded by a group of magicians.
Vince's eyes narrowed as he looked around for an exit. (So much for an easy escape.)
"We can do this the nice way, or the hard way, Vince-kun. It's your choice." She commented cheerfully.
"Hmph." Vince didn't respond but instead turned towards the red moon. The light blue particles that emitted from his body increased greatly.
"Then it's the hard way then. Capture him." Jeanne then gestured to the magicians.
All of the magicians each readied their attacks and fired a multitude of attacks ranging from fire balls, lightning bolt and magic bullets. Vince stood there and continued to look at the moon. As the magic attacks closed in, a large dome of water suddenly appeared and enveloped his body. The water dome easily took in the magical attacks and not a moment later, the attacks were swallowed whole.
With the exception of Vince, everyone's eyes widened greatly.
"He didn't even move an inch..." A magician spoke sounding greatly surprised.
Jeanne quickly jumped out of the way as she noticed the water dome violently convulsed. Moments later the water dome shot out a massive barrage of water bullets.
The magicians quickly responded by creating multiple defensive barriers in order to protect themselves, however the barrage of water bullets pierced their barriers and hit their mark, each bullet going through various magicians.
They all screamed in pain as they tried to cover their wounds with their hands to stop the bleeding, however a large amount of blood poured out from the wounds they just received.
"Interesting ability Vince-kun, but that won't help you-" Jeanne was suddenly interrupted by a loud sound of water splashing.
She quickly jumped out of the way as Vince slammed his hand into the ground. "You talk too much."
Vince then turned around as a massive wave of water appeared underneath him, the water wave the size of the school academy, he sent the large mass of water towards the magicians and Jeanne.
Jeanne took out a sword and easily dealt with the water wave, by slashing the water with the sword, while the magicians created a large barrier to protect themselves. To Vince's slight surprise however he saw that the water around her was absorbed into Jeanne's sword.
The entire ground was now covered in water while everyone remained unharmed. Jeanne placed a hand to her mouth and giggled. "Is that really the best you can do Vince-kun?"
Vince rolled his eyes and held back a smirk, the moment the magicians let down the barrier and prepared another attack. (That's it... I'll have to deal with Jeanne later though her sword can absorb water.)
Before the magicians could finish firing a round of magic bullets at him, water suddenly shot out of the wet ground and encased everyone with the exception of Jeanne, whom sliced the water with her sword, to which it absorbed the remaining water around her into the sword again.
The magicians all screamed in pain from the pressure of the water, they tried to cast a spell but was unable to due to the water, tightly holding their bodies, immobilizing them.
"Sorry, but you need to die." Vince raised his hand, causing the magicians that were tightly encased in water to slowly rise into the air.
Ignoring the looks of terror on their faces, he clenched his hand. The water caved in and violently crushed the bodies of all of the magicians.
Vince then turned to Jeanne as it started to rain blood, with the red moon appearing to be seemingly right behind him. A drop of blood fell on to the side of Vince's cheek and slowly went down his face.
Jeanne blinked twice both impressed and slightly unnerved at how fast the magicians were disposed. "Not bad at all Vince-kun, but I won't go down easily like the others."
From behind the trees, everyone eyes widened at the brutality behind his attack.
Azazel let out a low whistle. "Vince wasn't kidding. I haven't seen something that brutal in a while."
"To think he's this powerful under the lunar eclipse." Tsubaki muttered frowning a little.
Sona also frowned. "I believe it was the right decision to watch from a distance, it would have been dangerous if either one of us were caught in that attack."
"Yeah, it's a good thing Azazel-sensei's barrier protected us." Kiba commented, looking a bit surprised.
Rena sighed sadly. "I wish Vince would have told me about this."
"Me too. I've never seen Vince like this before." Rias commented in a concerned tone.
"Vince-kun..." Akeno muttered looking worried.
Kasumi looked on with a worried expression. "I believe Vince did that in order to not waste any more time."
"What do you mean by that?" Tomoe questioned, looking curious.
"The more Vince fights, the more his control over his Sacred Gear slips. I think he just wants to end the fight as quickly as possible." Akari answered, also looking worried.
"I didn't think Vince could do something like this." Issei said sounding completely shocked.
"Y-Yeah, remind me not piss off Reinhart in a lunar eclipse." Saji added with other members of the student council quickly agreeing.
Tomoe then lightly hummed. "It's hard to believe he's only sixteen. Now that I think about Vince does look pretty cute. I think I have a better chance than Akeno-san."
Everyone turned to Tomoe with a surprised look while Azazel laughed and Akeno looked annoyed as Tomoe continued. "I mean yeah, Akeno-san's pretty and all but Vince usually gets away from her."
Akari and Kasumi both held their hand to there mouths and giggled while both Rias held back from laughing and Rena snorted.
"Ara, but I'm already ahead of you Tomoe." Akeno pointed out, smiling a bit.
"Are you sure? I mean he's usually ahead of you, instead of being next to you." Tomoe replied cheerfully.
A tickmark appeared on Akeno as the other four held back from outright laughing. Sona then cleared her throat and gave her a stern look. "Tomoe, that's enough."
"Sorry Kaichou." She apologized in a energetic tone.
"Last chance Jeanne. Get lost and I won't come after you." Vince spoke his voice, gaining everyone's attention.
They all turned towards his direction and saw Jeanne smiling. "I can't do that Vince-kun, you're just to good of a catch to pass up. Your Sacred Gears along with the Totsuka-no-Tsurugi and Arondight are a deadly combination. You would be a great addition to the Hero Faction."
Vince however scoffed. "I could care less about the Hero's Factions agendas. I have better things to do with my time."
"Oh well. I guess I'll take you by force then Vince-kun." Jeanne chirped as she charged at him with her sword.
"Then try to take me if you can." He taunted, causing her eye to twitch.
Vince brought his hands up and shot out multiple torrents of water aimed at her. Jeanne smiled and sliced through the water with her sword, as a result all of the remaining water around her was absorbed into the sword. "Nice try Vince-kun, but you should know by now you don't stand a chance!"
She quickly closed in the distance between the two and brought her sword down on him. Vince however saw this coming and moved out of the way and responded by kicking her in the rib cage.
Jeanne skidded back a few inches from the force of the kick and winced in pain. Vince however frowned. (That sword, it's a holy sword and yet it feels similar to Kiba's Sword Birth...)
She pouted childishly and huffed. "That hurts Vince-kun!"
Vince slightly frowned as he sent a barrage of water bullets with a wave of his hands. (I think she has a Sacred Gear, it feels way too similar to one. Hmm, there may be a holy counterpart to Kiba's Sword Birth. I shouldn't be surprised since holy and demonic powers seems to go hand-in-hand.)
"You should pay more attention to the fight Vince-kun!" Jeanne exclaimed as she absorbed all of the water bullets with her sword, she got within his range and swung her sword at his torso.
Vince narrowly avoided the swing by ducking but winced in pain. His hoodie and shirt were sliced in half, revealing his muscular chest along with a noticeable gash in the middle of his torso. "Ngh!"
Jeanne licked her lips upon seeing his muscular chest and smiled. ""So that's what you look like underneath, Vince-kun."
He quickly brought his hands towards her stomach. "Mind your own business!"
"You're done!" Before Jeanne could respond a powerful water beam shot out of his hands and blasted her right into a tree.
"Guuuh!" Jeanne coughed up some blood as she fell to the ground, breathing heavily. She checked looked below and noticed that a hole in her shirt and a large red bruise on her stomach.
Vince created a water sword and sprinted towards her. Jeanne grabbed her sword and tried to get up but he knocked it away with his water sword. Unfortunately the weapon was absorbed into the sword upon making contact.
Jeanne tried to move but Vince created a water dagger and held it to her neck, causing her to freeze.
Vince's breathing turned ragged as he firmly gripped her arm with his left hand and held the water dagger close to her neck with his right hand. "Who doesn't stand a chance now?"
"W-What are you going to do, to me?" Jeanne asked, her voice sounding slightly panicked.
"This." Vince dropped the water dagger on to the ground, Jeanne looked confused for a moment until she felt something wet underneath her feet. Looking down, her eyes widened as soon as she a giant whirlpool underneath her.
"Maelstrom!" The massive body of water sucked her from underneath and started to violently twist her around at an impressive speed.
She struggled to move through the attack as multiple swords shot up from the ground, all aimed at Vince's legs. Just as the swords were about slice his legs, a water shield appeared in front of his body and deflected most of the swords, with the exception of a few that impaled his legs.
"Gaaaah!" Vince cringed in pain, he got on one knee as blood poured out from his wounds but raised the massive maelstrom high into the air.
Upon closer examination the size of the maelstrom was the size of the entire school building. With a gesture of his hand, the massive body of water turned sideways and the speed of it increased, causing some of the trees and the debris in general area to be sucked in by the maelstrom.
"Get lost!" He pointed his hand south and Jeanne was violently shot out of the maelstrom with shreded trees and a large amount of debris.
Without skipping a beat, Vince slammed the maelstrom in the general direction where Jeanne was tossed at. Everything underneath the maelstrom was crushed and a loud splashing sound echoed throughout the area. "Serves her right... Huh?"
He looked down after seeing an object shining in the ground. As soon he picked it up, he raised an eyebrow. " What's this?"
The object was an elegant looking sliver ring with a small engraving on the inside. Vince sighed as he pocketed the ring. "She must have dropped this during the fight..."
He looked down and saw two swords impaled on each of his leg. Without a moment's notice, Vince grabbed the two blades and yanked them, he cringed in pain as the blood continued to pour from out his wound. "Urgh..."
He got up from the ground staggering a bit. Vince then blinked twice after noticing the light blue particles that emitted from his body vanished, he quickly looked up at the moon and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the moon back to normal. (Close call. Aside from that ambush, it wasn't as bad as I thought and I only caused minor damage.)
Vince looked around his surrondings and sweatdropped, viewing the amount of blood, destruction and water around his surrounding area. (...Nevermind at least I didn't lose control like last time.)
He gazed at his legs and shook his head in disbelief, at seeing the large gashes on it and a large amount of blood. (I better take care of that. I should be able to use my lightning magic again, I can numb my legs and use that chance to quickly get home to treat it not to mention that cut Jeanne gave me on my chest. But I think I'll use Angel/Devil instead, my devil form is very durable and my body will be able to heal itself much faster.)
An ominous magic circle appeared in front of Vince as he was enveloped in demonic energy. Both of his arms turned into demonic looking claws. His claws, palm, and forehand illuminated a blue aura, with a large blue crack in the middle of his forearm. The rest of his arms was covered in red organic flesh, with a spike protruding from his elbow. Purple strap-like flesh covered the top part of both of his arms.
"Not bad." Vince clenched his demonic claws and started walking home. (I should do this more often. The healing factor from my devil form is pretty good. But damn, I'm sleepy.)
xXxXxXxXxX
The sunlight that reflected from the window shined brightly, Vince grumbled a bit from seeing the sunlight go into his face and got up. To his surprise however, he noticed that he couldn't move.
Looking down, Vince saw that not only was he still in his devil form along with himself without any clothes. Both Rias and Akeno held on to his arms, sleeping without a care in the world, naked.
Vince shook his head in both disbelief and slight surprise. "I knew I should have locked the door. ...Did we have a threesome?"
He sighed and tried to nudge both Rias and Akeno awake, but to his annoyance they didn't respond.
"We didn't..." Rias trailed off as she got off of his arm.
"But we don't mind doing that with you, Vince-kun." Akeno finished as she got off his other arm, giggling a little.
"Then why are we naked?" Vince asked covering himself with a blanket.
Rias yawned a little and stretched her arms, causing her breasts to jiggle, to which he paid close attention to. "We were healing you, you came in with a lot of injuries last night Vince."
"By sleeping next to me naked." He commented dryly.
"Devils are able to heal each other like this. But, it's much more effective if they're linked with the Evil Pieces." Akeno explained, also stretching which caused her breasts to jiggle.
Vince sighed but nodded, while taking a discrete glance at both of their breasts. "Alright."
"You don't have an Evil Piece and healing you would take too long, so we decided on doing this, to make the process faster. Do you feel better Vince?" Rias asked in a concerned tone.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks." Vince's demonic claws disappeared, returning him back to normal.
"That's a relief, Vince-kun." Akeno then embraced Vince from behind and rubbed her breasts on his back. "Is there anything else, you want to do Vince-kun?"
Before Vince could respond Rias hugged him from the front and did the same against his chest. "I can help you if you're feeling frustrated, Vince."
Vince scratched his head and shook his head. (I need a cold shower.)
"Ara, I think I can help Vince-kun with frustration better, Buchou." Akeno spoke, tightening her hug against him.
"I can do this myself Akeno. Besides, I'm his fiancé." Rias reassured in a forced tone, pressing her breasts further into his chest.
"I want to be first Rias." Akeno stressed her point by wrapping her arms around his neck.
"No. I'm going to be first." Rias said, wrapping her arms around his waist.
Vince's eye twitched as both Rias and Akeno gazed at each other. "Last time I checked, it was my decision. Not yours."
"Then who do you want to be first with Vince-kun?" Akeno asked turning her gaze towards him.
"Answer the question, honestly Vince." Rias stated also gazing at him.
"Alright. My answer is-" Vince got out of their grip, stood up from the futon and went towards the bathroom. The two leaned in closely, listening intently, waiting for his answer. "A secret."
The two facefaulted as soon as they heard his answer. Vince closed the bathroom door and locked it. (Sheesh, they're a dangerous combination when they're not against each other. I almost lost my control. Ugh, I really need to take a cold shower now...)
xXxXxXxXxX
Vince turned towards Rena as he leaned against the wall of the clubroom. She in turn leaned in and whispered in his ear. "Our flight is in an hour. Are you ready to go Vince?"
"Yeah. I got the file from Azazel earlier, after he checked it over. There's really no changes he made to it, apparently what your parents planned to do with Chloe's toxin and curse is the best course of action. But the execution needs to be a little different." Vince whispered.
"What do you mean?" She asked looking a little confused.
"I'll explain later. We'll need help from Rossweisse's grandmother though." He answered.
"Really?"
Vince nodded in response. "Yeah. It works out either way, because we have that tradition to follow up with Rossweisse, remember?"
"Yes, I know. Every year around this time we meet up near summer vacation to catch up with each other and to train. I've been doing that for a long time and you started a year ago." Rena replied smiling.
(She's really enthusiastic about this.) Vince thought, sweatdropping.
"Ara, you two look like you're having fun." Akeno spoke, appearing next to them.
Vince blinked twice while Rena sighed. "Akeno."
Rias noticed the conversation between the three from her desk and looked up. "Is there something wrong Vince?"
"Not really. But there is one thing I need to say." Vince commented as the others looked confused.
"What is it Vince?" Rias asked curiously.
Vince walked towards the door and turned towards her. "I won't be coming to the clubroom anymore. I quit."
"W-What?" Both Rias and Akeno's eyes widened greatly as did everyone else.
Without another word Vince left the room and closed the door with Rena following suite.

Author's Notes: Well, that was a surprise. A lot has definitely happened in this chapter.
Hopefully everyone enjoyed the first time Jeanne and Vince meet. It was very unique writing that scene and I liked it. I can assure you though, this is not the last time they will meet.
Just to clarify as to avoid any confusion, Vince's water magic under the effects of the lunar eclipse is nearly as powerful as it would be in his incomplete Balance Breaker but it's also very difficult to control.
I also would like to bring up an issue regarding Sona and Tsubaki. They will not be in Vince's harem, I know that they fit they're older women and that fits Vince's tastes but their personalities would clash way too much to be in a relationship and I'm already stretching it with Serafall, though I'm still taking suggestions of who to put in Vince's harem. Sorry for those of you who wanted them in but that's my personal take on it.
That's all I have to say for now, take care.
