A/N: Here is the next chapter, please enjoy. Also please note, Yusei won't be bragging about his night with Akeno, it's not in his character to do something like that.
Yusei Bedroom
Yusei turned in bed and opened his eyes, he saw the sleeping face of an angel, next to him. Yusei turned his head and looked to his alarm clock, it was 5.45am. He would normally get up for a run before school, however with Akeno next to him, he decided to lay in a little. He turned and pecked Akeno on the lips stirring the sleeping beauty. Yusei watched as her eyes opened, two deep purple orbs looked back and him. Akeno smiled gently.
"Morning Yusei, can you go get me a glass of water, my throats a little dry."
Yusei kissed Akeno, then climbed out of bed and put on his boxers. He turned and noticed Akeno had watched and now the little minx was biting her lip. Yusei smiled. "Be right back." Yusei left the bedroom and walked down the landing to the stairs. As he was making his way down stairs he noticed Xenovia door opened and the Knight of the Church stepped out. Yusei was surprised to see her, he had left her with Rias and the rest of her peerage last night, she had no key, so how did she get in.
"Xenovia, morning, I wasn't expecting you back today. I thought you would want to stay with Irina and the others after what you found out."
Xenovia was dressed in her dressing gown, her head was lowered, clearly she was still in shock from discovering that her God was dead.
"I was going to, but decided I wanted to come back here. I needed time on my own to digest everything. Rias transported me back last night. Irina still over at Issei, and Asia said she recovering, however she doesn't know what Kokabiel said, and I want it to stay that way. No good jeopardising both our futures."
Yusei stood at the top of the stairs confused. "Jeopardise? Why would knowing that God was dead, do that?"
Xenovia shook her head. "Come on Yusei, think about it, if the church has done all it can to cover up the fact that God is dead, then what do you think they will do to me. I'll tell you what they will do, they will cut me loose and brand me a Heretic, I will treated the same as Asia was. You can't tell me no one in heaven wasn't watching what went on last night. Anyway, it might be good if the church did cut me loose, as I don't know what to believe any more."
Yusei frowned. "The more I hear about the church, the more I don't want anything to do with them. Its not you fault you know the truth, its the churches fault for lying to you and the others members. If you are cut loose, what will you do?"
Xenovia lowered her head, as she recalled a conversation she had yesterday with Rias.
Flash back
Xenovia was stood outside in Issei garden looking up at the stars. She needed some alone time to think about all she had discovered tonight. Her whole life was lie, there was no good, just a system that was trying to cover up the death of God. All those lesson in how to act like a good Christian, and how to follow in God footsteps. When God didn't even exist."
"Xenovia, you find If I stand out with you?"
Xenovia turned and noticed it was Rias, she shrugged and then carried on looking up at the stars. She noticed Rias came to stand beside her. Both teens were quiet as neither knew what to say. Finally Rias broke the ice.
"I just wanted to know, what you and Irina are going to do now. You have the fragments of Excalibur, are you planning on returning to the church?"
Xenovia looked at Rias. "Do you honestly believe the church will allow me to continue my duty in service to them? The moment I step in HQ, I will be discharged and branded a heretic, because I know the truth now. Irina may be able to return back to the church, as she wasn't there when Kokabiel revealed that God was dead."
Rias nodded. "So what happens if the church does cut you loose, where will you go?"
Xenovia shrugged. "No idea, the church is all I know, I was raised by nuns in an orphanage, and the Catholic faith was hot wired into from an early age. I know nothing much of the outside world, so who knows."
Rias, sighed. "Well how would you feel turning away from the church and becoming a devil? I could really do with another knight, and I think you would fit in quite nicely."
Xenovia blinked in surprise. "You move fast don't you Lady Rias. At the minute I don't know what I want to do, but I will take your offer into consideration. I will see what the church says first, and if they do cut me loose then I might consider joining your peerage. I don't want all my training and knowledge to go to waste, and if I can use my talents elsewhere then, I would be happy."
Rias smiled. "Very well then, I will leave it to you to think about. Soon as you know, then please get back to me. I assume you and Irina will be leaving tomorrow."
Xenovia nodded. "If Irina can travel then yes, I want to get back to HQ with the fragments soon as possible. There still at risk being out in the open."
Present
Xenovia noticed Yusei was still waiting for an answer. "I honestly don't know, it will depend on what the church says, but I do have an offer on the table, but not decided if I will accept it or not.
"Yusei, what's going on? Who you talking to, Oh Hello Xenovia, I didn't realise you were here."
Xenovia looked at Akeno state of dress and then back at Yusei, she raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything, she didn't believe in sex before marriage, and thought that a girl should save themselves for their future husband. Again teaching by the Catholic church, but with what she knew now, even that seemed a lie to her.
"It's okay, Rias bought me back last night. See you down for breakfast." Xenovia then closed her door leaving Yusei and Akeno to look at each other and just shrug.
Few Days Later
Yusei and Issei, were on their way towards the club room, according to Rias, she had a big announcement to make. Issei had told Yusei, about the surprise revelation he had learnt last night. The person who had been summoning him, was actually the Head of the Fallen Angels Azazel, and he had been using the disguise of a summoner as a cover, to get to know Issei and everything about his Sacred Gear.
"Wait, so this guy, he experiments on Sacred Gears, dude, what did Rias say, when she found out that you had been in contact with the head of the Fallen of Angels, bet she flipped out."
Issei scratched the back of his head nervously as he recalled some of the names Rias, had used and some of the language. She being pissed was an understatement, in fact it had taken him an hour to talk around not to go and attack Azazel.
"Yeah she was upset, but took care of it." Issei opened the door to the club room, however when he saw Xenovia stood in the room, he went on the defensive, and summoned his sacred gear.
"What the hell are you doing here? I thought you went back with Irina."
Issei noticed the sliding door slid back and Rias walked into the room. "Oh Issei, and Yusei, good, the others will be here soon, please take a seat." Rias walked towards her desk and sat down behind it. She noticed that Yusei took a seat opposite Xenovia, but Issei seemed to be more nervous. Was he in for a surprise when he learnt that Xenovia was Rias new knight.
Xenovia sighed as she recalled her phone call with headquarters. She had been right, they didn't want her to return, and only requested that Irina returned with the fragments. This had led to argument between Xenovia and Irina. Both had went separate ways, she was now going to be devil and Irina was going back to the church. Next time they met, they would be enemies. Xenovia looked to the door and noticed the other members of the Occult club suddenly appeared. Xenovia felt a little uncomfortable as everyone was looking at her. Luckily Rias speaking drew their attention.
"Okay, lets get this meeting under way. Firstly thank you for coming, we've all had a busy week, and it nice to be able to relax a little, I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome Xenovia into our peerage. She accepted my offer last night, after she was cut loose from the church, on discovering that God was dead. She is my new Knight, which now only leaves another Rook to fill. So please, make her feel part of this family. Sona has already taken care of her registration here at the Academy. She will be a new second year starting tomorrow. She will be moving into the same apartment block as Koneko, Kiba and Akeno. Now onto other business, tomorrow We are going to clean the school pool, normally the student council would do it, but seeing how Sona and her peerage helped us yesterday, then I said we would do it. She also said once the pool was clean then we could use it. Being how its Saturday tomorrow, I thought we could clean it in the morning and then spend all afternoon in it and around it."
Rias seeing no arguments bought the meeting to a close. Xenovia suddenly found herself surrounded by her new family, and everyone wanted to make her feel welcome.
Next Day Kouh Academy
Everyone stood looking at the mess which was the school pools, leaves, litter and god knows what else floated on the surface of the dirty water. It was also giving off an unpleasant odour. Rias noticed the disgust on the faces of everyone. However she clapped her hands together.
"Okay, let do this, quicker we clean it, the quicker we can enjoy it. Akeno If you would do the honours?"
Akeno smiled and stepped forwards, she then created a magical circle over the pool which began to suck up all the dirty water, until the pool was empty. While Akeno had been draining the pool, Rias had handed out stiff brooms. Everyone climbed down the stair carefully, the bottom of the pool was smelly and slimy. Rias assigned task, several would scrub while one would use the hose to spray the muck and grime away.
Yusei scrubbed the floor hard, and noticed Akeno was beside him. "So did you tell Issei, about what we did the other day?"
Yusei looked to Akeno and shook his head. "Na, beside it's none of his business, what we do is between us, no one else needs to know. I gather you have told Rias though?"
Akeno blushed. "Of course, I tell my mistress everything you know that. She was happy for me, and pleased I had finally found someone to love and be with. She told me she been thinking about Issei a lot, and not sure what she should do. Every time she try to approach him, Asia steps in. Rias won't admit it, but she getting a little tired of Asia stepping in. Rias can be very possessive when she wants to be, and at the minutes its her Issei, and everyone who comes near him will be sorry. I am actually surprised she has tolerated Asia for this long."
Yusei shrugged. "Issei is very protective of Asia, and think he likes her, but he feels she too innocent and doesn't want to pollute her young mind, well that's what he told me. He also told me he thinks Rias is teasing him, and he finding it difficult to stay in control. I don't know why she doesn't just shag him senseless, instead of playing games."
Akeno giggled. "Because Rias, like teasing Issei, she likes knowing she has the power over him, and he will do anything for her. However like you I think she will break soon. The frustration will get too much for her, and I know Sirzech already considers Issei, as a brother, so the writing pretty much on the wall. Rias will just have to adjust, and understand that Asia won't be the only one sharing their bed."
The pool was finally cleaned, and everyone climbed the ladder and watched as Akeno created another magical circle above the pool, this time blue clean water rushed out of the seal and poured into the pool. Rias clapped her hands together.
"Okay lets go get changed." Everyone walked towards the changing rooms, they girl changed In one area, while the boys changed in the other. Eventually everyone was dressed and stepped out of the changing room. Rias and Akeno were breath taking in their two piece bikini, neither two piece left much to the imagination, and only just managed cover both girls important areas. Asia and Koneko, had decided to use their school swimming costumes, and Xenovia had modest bikini on. The boys soon joined the girls, Yusei and Issei were wearing Swimming shorts while Kiba was wearing a pair of trucks, and swimming cap. Everyone approached the ball and jumped in, soon the sound of splashing and laughing could be heard as they all played together.
Yusei had taken Koneko to one side and was now holding her hands, as she kicked her legs behind her and swam the length of the pool. "That's good Koneko, keep kicking, don't worry I've got you, nothing going to happen, keep looking at me, and keep kicking."
Koneko blushed as she looked at the bare chest of Yusei, she carried on kicking just like she was being told to do. Asia was doing the same over the other side with Issei. Eventually the little first year wanted a rest and she ended by crashing into Yusei chest and noticed Yusei wrapped his arms around her, making the first year blush even more.
Meanwhile Akeno had watched the whole interaction and smiled as she laid on one of the loungers reading a magazine. Another few months and Koneko would be joining them. Akeno had been thinking about getting Yusei his own Harem, if Issei could have one, then it was only fair Yusei was allowed one. So far only two were in it, her and Koneko, that would be enough for now. Akeno looked up and noticed Rias took a chair next to her.
"Isn't it sweet how Yusei, is looking after Koneko?"
Akeno looked up from her magazine and smiled. "Yep, I don't think I have even seen her so happy before. She's always on his lap, if I am not there, and she is never horrible or rude to him, like she is with Issei. Talking about Issei, how are things going between you two?"
Rias groaned and looked at her best friend. "Nothing has changed since we last saw each other, although Asia and I now take turns to share his bed. We have a sort of rota, but at the minute that's not working, as we both end up sleeping in his bed. I have tried to laid down the rules to her, but she either not listening or doesn't care."
Akeno nodded. "Well you did say he could have a Harem, whoops Xenovia just made a move on Issei, better be careful Rias."
Rias turned her attention and noticed the Xenovia was speaking to Issei, by the boy facial expression it wasn't anything good, and she noticed he was now backing away from Xenovia quickly. However the new knight had him pinned against the side of the pool wall and was now brushing herself up against him. Rias eyes glowed an angry red, and she stood from her position and marched around to the side of the pool that Issei and Xenovia were standing by.
"Okay, what is going on, Xenovia, what are you doing to Issei, someone better tell me what is going on now." Rias crimson hair was now blowing in the gentle breeze which was whipping around the pool area.
Xenovia shrugged. "I was just asking Issei, if he would be willing to get me pregnant, you see now I am not part of the church, I want to experience everything I couldn't, love, sex and then motherhood. Issei being strong and possessed by the Red dragon Emperor makes him an ideal candidate to mate with. I want my child to be strong and what could be stronger then him or her having dragon genes."
Rias mouth dropped, she didn't know what to say or do, that was the last answer she had been expecting, Akeno was right, she would have to start being more territorial around Issei, first Asia now Xenovia. Issei wasn't going to be mating with any girls, well not until she had mated with him at least. It seems Issei was going to get his wish of having a harem after all.
Meanwhile on the other side, Yusei was busy throwing the beach ball around with Koneko, both had moved to the shallow end, allowing Koneko feet to touch the bottom. With what had happened with Xenovia Asia had also decided to join in the game, and now they were playing piggy in the middle. Kiba as usual was doing his own thing and swimming lengths of the pool.
Club room
Everyone was now dressed and sitting in the club room, discussing all manner of things, however the sudden appearance of a magical circle in the room, bought the room to silence, as everyone watched as Sirzech appeared alongside his wife.
"Good evening everyone, I hope I wasn't interrupting anything, I just wanted to pass on my congratulation to you all in dealing with that Rogue Fallen Angel. Azazel as I told me that he won't be able to cause any more trouble as he has been incarcerated. I also wanted to welcome Xenovia. I am very pleased that you accepted my sisters invitation, your skills and strength will be very helpful to my sister and the rest of her peerage. "
Xenovia blinked in surprise, she was standing in front of the current Lucifer, she hadn't expecting this. Xenovia bowed.
"I am honoured to serve under Lady Rias, and promise to use my skill and strength to aid her and protect her from her enemies."
Sirzech smiled. "Thank you, and now on to the real reason why I am here. With what has happened the leader of the three factions have decided to call a summit. We all want to try discuss a peace treaty between the three factions. As this town seems to be the centre of all the trouble, the leaders have all decided this Academy would be the perfect meeting place. The summit will take place in four days from now. We wanted to hold it sooner, but with the upcoming open house at the academy we have decided to postpone it till a later date. Also Rias I think it is time you released your other bishop, you're a lot stronger now, and I feel you will be able to handle the responsibilities."
Rias eyes widened, her other bishop had been locked away, because of his Sacred gear, and she hadn't been powerful enough to control him. Now though she was a lot stronger, and her family had grown. Rias bowed her head.
"If that is what you wish, Brother then I will released my other bishop. Is there anything else you wanted?"
Sirzech turned his attention to Yusei. "I understand that you have unlocked another Balance Breaker, Yusei, as I mentioned before the three factions have shown great interest in you and have asked you to be at the summit."
Yusei was stunned, however he inclined his head politely. After that Sirzech said his goodbyes and vanished leaving the room. Everyone turned to Rias and noticed there confused faces. "Follow me everyone it's time you met my other bishop, but be warned he is very powerful and very shy." The group followed Rias out of the club room and down the corridor, and down the stairs. Once at the bottom she turned left and walked towards a double door, that was chained up. She stood in front of it, and started chanting causing the seal and the chains to break. She then opened the door and invited everyone in. The room was very dark and what look like a coffin was laid in the middle of he room. Rias approached the coffin cautiously.
"Gasper, you in there, Sirzech, has said I can release you, I want you to come out and meet the rest of the family." There was silence and then a small timid voice could be heard from the coffin,
"I don't want to leave, why can't you just ignore me, like you usually do."
Rias sighed and lifted the lid on the coffin, there sitting in the middle of it was a small girl, with blonde hair that finished just below her neckline. She was dressed in academy uniform. The little girl looked up with tears in her eyes and tried to hide, but couldn't as Rias hugged her and bought her close.
"Everyone I want you to meet Gasper, he is my other bishop." Everyone froze, wait did Rias just say he? But this was a girl right, a cute girl, in fact Issei was imagining both Gasper and Asia together naked, this of course was until the bombshell which just caused his mouth to drop, he could only say one thing.
"What the Hell!"
A/N: Quick note, the guest who keeps reviewing and telling me to drop this story and get on with my Harry Potter stories I have this to say.
