Rias's P.O.V
Ugh, I cannot believe I let him see me like that, I must be more mindful with a new person in the house. Maybe I can ask Kiba to see if Skylar can stay with them, at least whilst we all get used to having him in the group.

I continued getting dressed until something hit me. We are all going to the underworld in a couple of days; it should be interesting to see how everybody reacts to my newest member. Especially Mr. Ajuka Beelzebub, I wonder how he will react to seeing his estranged son for the first time in so many years. I had just finished getting dressed when I felt a malevolent energy, it was definitely a stray devil and quite a powerful one there was no mistaking it. I rushed down stairs to the others.

I reached the bottom of the stairs to see everyone standing in the entranceway. Skylar was the first one to speak. "I feel as if it's overkill if all of us go, I feel like Issei and I will be enough for this. Everybody else can stay here and relax." Skylar looked at Issei and he seemed to agree.
"Fine, I will let you two go alone, but if anything bad happens to my dear Ise, You'll have all of us to answer to." I looked Skylar right in his eyes, then I heard a voice directly in my head and he gave me an extremely gentle look. "Rias-sama, Issei will come back in one piece, I promise" and with that the left.

Skylar's P.O.V

"So Issei do you actually believe we can take this thing on our own?" I inquired giving him a side-glance. His reply was instantaneous. "Yeah I do, I've fought much stronger things than a stray devil, it could be good exercise though depends on how powerful it is really." I cannot believe we only met today and already we're talking so casually. I wonder if everybody in this area is like this.

We approached where the source of the energy was coming from. The building looked quite run down and was probably condemned, but there was not much surrounding it so it would be easy to assume that nothing would be done about it. As we stood in front of the door, I began to get a bad feeling. "Issei, can you feel it too?" I said turning to him; he nodded.
"There's a lot of them I can tell, more than likely mostly low level grunts but still, we may need back up."

I activated my sonar; you would not believe how unbearable the fucking pain was. Issei looked at me in surprise as he saw blood running down my cheek. "Skylar are you alright?" he asked sounding concerned. I looked at him and spoke into his mind. "15 low class devils and one middle class, I'll rush the middle class devil. You keep the others distracted. I'll come help you afterwards." He nodded and spoke back to me.

"Give me about a minute before we go in okay." And with that a crimson gauntlet appeared on his arm. After ten seconds his gauntlet spoke. "BOOST." I cast a spell over the both of us to hide our presence because with Issei powering up, it wouldn't take long for them to notice us. A minute passes and he looks at me and nods. With that, the doors fly open and the fun begins.

The door swings wide open and I sprint toward the leader of the pack, sending a knee into his ribs, feeling the crunch of his bones made me smile in delight. It had been a couple of months since I had felt this sensation and how I missed it, Blood spilled from his mouth and spilled onto my shirt, I grabbed his arm and pulled and with little resistance the limb separated from the rest of his body, a stream of blood poured from the fresh wound and onto my arm. The warmth of freshly shed blood slid against my skin, my smirk widened as the sensation sent a rush through my entire body.

I guess It's time I ended this fight and helped out Issei, I drove an open hand towards the stray devils already cracked ribcage, my hand sunk further and further into his chest. My entire hand was enveloped was enveloped in warmth then suddenly it was stung but the nights cold air. There was a warmth in the palm of my hand. His heart. I clenched my fist and crushed it with ease. The devil slumped against me, smothering my clothes in even more of that glorious crimson fluid. I let him fall to the floor and he lay there lifeless. It's crazy how fast a life can be ended.

I turned around to see how Issei was doing, only to see three of the low class devils lying motionless. He definitely exceeded my expectations he works fast… I like it. A sword made completely of holy energy appeared in my hand. I dashed towards two of them, impaling one of them through the throat with my holy sword and grabbing the other by the head. As I stuck the holy sword in the ground the impaled Devil was gurgling on blood as the life drained away from his eyes. I slammed the others skull into the ground and felt it give way under the impact of the concrete. The innards of his skull coated my hand, as I removed my hand from the bloody mess I shook my hand and the remaining chunks of brain met the ground.

I looked over at Issei who had a sword protruding from his gauntlet, he rose his arm with quite a lot of speed and the sword slid through the devil in front of him, which earned him a blood shower. Then I saw it, deep down he was like me. It was brief but when the blood hit him, I saw a grin. I think he might be unconsciously keeping it deep down inside him, because as fast as it came it disappeared.

I sprinted towards another, and with a jump I swung my foot it collided with the side of the female devils head, my foot continued to move but I saw that her body wasn't. I saw her head begin to separate from the rest of her body, I finished the motion and the now loose head flew across the room before meeting a concrete pillar and exploding like a watermelon hit with a sledge hammer leaving a trail of red behind it.

Issei followed suit and swung his arm horizontally his sword slicing through the neck of a devil with ease, the head hit the floor and the body followed closely behind. The lonesome head had a shocked expression on it. Possibly at the fact that two people were burning through them so quickly or maybe the fact the she had no idea it was coming. Whatever the case, the expression was priceless.

I grabbed one by the shirt. "Issei punch with your sacred gear as hard as you can." he didn't even need to look at me to acknowledge what was happening. I threw the devil straight in front of him. Meanwhile a devil who hadn't realised what was happening had begun to close in on Issei. Issei's arm swung forward, the timing of everything was perfect. The sword pierced the skull of the devil I'd thrown but the momentum of Issei's fist continued forward stabbing the second devil through the chest. The two devils slid of the sword and hit the ground in a crumpled heap.

Issei looked at me lost for words; I just smirked at him. "I'm just going to end this now okay." With that statement clouds began to gather in the building, fear appearing on the faces of the remaining devils. Lighting began to crash down taking chunks out if the concrete floor, the devils scrambling in multiple directions. Then one by one, they were hit by lighting their skin sizzling on impact. As the last body hit the ground, I looked at Issei. "We're done here, do you want to go by magic circle or are we flying back?"
"Teleport, less effort, faster and in all honesty I want to get these blood soaked clothes off." With that said, a magic circle appeared and just before we were teleported back the Hyoudou residence I tossed a small flame to burn the evidence.

Rias's P.O.V

A green glow came from the entranceway, who could that be I thought to myself. Then I heard a familiar voice call out, Issei and Skylar were back. I went to meet them but when I turned the corner, I was surprised at what I saw. Rage welled up within me, I could feel my hair lose all it's weight. "Skylar, you said Issei would be fine. Why is it he's covered in so much blood?" Skylar just stood there smugly as if my actions didn't bother him in the slightest.
"Rias-sama look closer… that blood isn't his. In fact he doesn't have a single scratch on him." After closer inspection, it turns out he was telling you the truth. I had made myself look foolish in front of this man once again.
"I apologize. I just saw all that blood and immediately thought the worst." From the smugness his expression softened and he gave me a gentle smile.
"It's okay Rias-sama, I understand that you care about him deeply. I'm sure that if I had someone I cared about it would be most upsetting to see them covered in blood."

"Was the stray devil taken care of?" I inquired, given the amount of blood on them the question was just a formality but it doesn't hurt to ask.
"Yes they were dealt with, all sixteen of them." Ise replied, SIXTEEN! There's no possible way they could have cleaned up sixteen stray devils in the half an hour they were gone. "Yes, Skylar definitely knows what he's doing. I would have had some trouble without him, with that being said. I think he and I should hit the bath, get all of this blood off us."

Issei finished what he was saying and proceeded towards the elevator with Skylar close behind him. Skylar gave me a quick glance and spoke directly into my mind.
"It was quite the show Rias-sama, you should have joined us. I think Issei may very well become the king of destruction." With that, he continued to the bath. I don't blame him really, I'd be headed straight there too if I looked like he currently did. I called after them one last time. " dinner will be ready soon, don't take too long."

A/N

And I return. I apologize for being away for so long, I've just had absolutely no energy to do anything. But I'm back, for how long, I have no clue. but whilst I have this sudden spur of motivation I will try to give you as many chapters as I can before it disappears. Thank you for your time.
