What's up guys! I'm think that now would be a good time to start the pairing ceremony. So far, the only confirmed pair would be Issei x Rias. As for Ramsei, I was thinking of pairing him with either Asia or Koneko. Oh right, do leave me a review on who should Akeno be with. Issei or Ramsei. On to the chapter.

Chapter 5: The Tandoori burnout.

(Ramsei POV)

Day 10. We've decided to spend our final hours reviewing our progress and to make sure we've thought of every single detail regarding tomorrows rating game. As for now, Rias was in deep thought about Riser's regenerative abilities.

"Due to him being a member of the Phenex clan, Riser is blessed with a healing factor which could prove troublesome to us. What do you think Akeno?"

"Indeed buchou. Perhaps water magic might help?"

"If only we have haki. Why can't anime be real?" Said your friendly neighborhood the pervert.

"You know Ise, once this is over I'll be having a word with you about this….Haki."

"If I may interrupt Rias. I've heard that the Phenex clan is also responsible for the production of some valuable tonic which promotes instant recovery. Are they legal during the match?"

"Yes, they're called Phenex tears. And unfortunately, they're in fact approved to be used during rating games. However, only 2 bottles are allowed per match."

"Interesting….."

So apart from the Tandoori himself, there's a possibility for his peerage to restore their HP in battle. A tricky one they are.

"But what's important is that we take out Riser in order to ensure our victory. Just like in chess, the game is over once the opposing King is defeated or surrenders."

"So in short, as long as that yakitori bastard is down, buchou is free!"

"That's right Ise."

"Aha! I've got it! Here's what we're going to do."

(Timeskip)

(Issei POV)

The time is 8pm. We the ORC gathered in the clubroom to be transported to the arena. As we entered, there sat Grayfia-san as well as Sona-kaichou along with Shinra-senpai awaiting our arrival.

"Greetings ojou-sama, I assume you and your peerage are ready for your match against Riser-sama."

"Yes Grayfia. Oh Sona, you're here as well?"

With that, kaichou wiped her specs and gave her reply with confidence.

"Why wouldn't I be? It's only natural for a dear friend to support her. Oh? Ramsei-kun, are you Rias's new servant?"

"Oh hey Sona. I'm just here to help. Greetings from the Hindu faction by the way."

Oi Ramsei, aren't you being too casual to your senpai? However, Grayfia-san asked for our attention before we could resume our conversation.

"Ojou-sama, we have to go."

As we stood on the teleportation circle, the light surrounds us and in a flash, we made it back to the clubroom.

Ara? Did the spell failed? Even Ramsei seems confused.

"What the? So that circle was just for show? Hold on, where's Sona and lady Grayfia?"

"Take a look outside you two."

The two of us head for the window and what we saw…was unbelievable.

"The sky's purple! And where's the rest of the town?"

"Calm down Ise-kun. This is the arena, which happens to be a replica of Kuoh Academy."

I see, thanks for the explanation Akeno-san.

"Since this is buchou's 1st rating game, I guess Grayfia-san allowed us to have the homeland advantage."

{Greetings. This is the match between Rias Gremory-sama and Riser Phenex-sama. Each team will be given 30 minutes to plan their moves and no attacking is allowed during the allocated time. The game will be over once either King is defeated or surrenders. Planning time starts Now!}

With no time to loose, Akeno-san took out a floor plan of our school for the rest of us to gaze upon. As buchou activated our communication circles, she proceeds with the plan.

"Everyone remembered your roles?"

We gave her an assuring nod as she resumed.

"Remember, let them come to us. Once they arrive, we'll take them out one at a time. Understood?"

"Yes buchou."

"Right. Everyone, to your positions."

During our last day at the Gremory Villa, Ramsei managed to devise an ingenious strategy to counter Riser's peerage. As the rest of my comrades went to their posts, Ramsei and I were asked to remain with buchou for the time being. Oh right, Asia is with us as well in case Buchou gets injured.

"Ise, could you put your head here please?"

Buchou patted on her lap with a warm smile.

"Eeh? A lap pillow? From buchou?!"

"Just do it you pervert!"

Oh shut up you monk! As I slowly lowered my head, what I felt, was pure bliss…..the softness and warmth of buchou's thighs…..UUeeee! I'm in heaven!

"Erm…Mind explaining what you're doing Rias?"

"I'm removing the seals that I've placed on Ise before I revived him. Due to having 8 pawns inside you, I was worried you weren't able to handle it. But after Ramsei's couching, you should be strong enough to hold that kind of power."

"So I can promote to queen now?"

"Better still! Issei, try contacting the dragon inside you."

As I got up from buchou's thighs, I summoned my boosted gear which is now giving off a flashing green light on its gem.

[Oh hoo….I thought I would never wake up with this weak brat.]

"Hey! Watch what you're saying!"

[Aahaha! It's nice to finally meet you Hyoudou Issei. I'm the Red dragon Emperor or the Sekiryuutei as you Japanese might call me, Ddraig.]

"It's an honour Sekiryuutei. By any chance you might be of assistance for us?"

[No need to worry Rias Gremory. For I believe this brat's training would be enough to ensure your victory.]

{5 minutes till the match begins.}

[Hey partner, if your feelings are strong enough, you're able to evolve the boosted gear to aid your comrades.]

"Feelings? You mean like lust?"

[Ermm….sort of….]

"Well….you can always fondle Rias's breasts if you want."

Buchou began to blush furiously while chasing the Indian guy to his post.

"Mou! Go and get prepared Ramsei!"

[Sigh….Why am I stuck with a pervert? Anyways partner, continue your narration….]

Ahem! So I was assigned to be Buchou's personal bodyguard while Ramsei will be at the top of the building sniping off intruders. Meanwhile, the rest of the group will act as bait for Riser's ladies.

{Ramsei, can you hear me?}

{Copy red leader.}

{Ugh! Drop the star wars reference already! Be sure to look out for Riser's queen Yubelluna. Her explosive magic should not be underestimated.}

{Roger that red leader. Red squad, this is red 1, you guys got that?}

{Roger red 1!}

Oh poor buchou. She could only sigh at that joker's quirks. For the time being, I'll share my knowledge on haki to her.

{Planning time has ended, Let the game begin!}

(3rd POV)

With the ring of the bell, Riser's peerage head for their assigned destinations. However, as they arrived at the classrooms and gym, they began chasing a Gremory rook and a knight respectively.

{Red leader, this is red 3. I have 5 hostiles on my flank.}

{Yuuto….I'm buchou…do not engaged them and stick to the plan. Koneko, any signs of the enemy?}

{Affirmative Red leader! I have 3 hostiles closing in on me. Heading to HQ now. Over.}

"Ngghh! What's with this Red leader nonsense!?"

"Relax Red leader. They're just having fun."

"Not you too Ise."

In no time, both Kiba and Koneko managed to reach the old school building as they head for shelter.

"Hehehe! We've found their headquarters. Contact Yubelluna-san now!"

{Yubelluna-san, we've found their base and in need of your assistance. Come here quick!}

Within minutes, every single one of Riser's servants arrive at the Old school building.

{Yullbena. Rias must be inside there. Burn it to the ground!}

{As you command Riser-sama.}

Unfortunately for the bomb queen, she was shot down the minute her appearance was made known.

"Gaah! What is this? An arrow? Ow!"

{Red 5. Come in Red 5! This is red 1. The queen is down. I repeat, the queen is down!}

"Copy that Red 1. Buchou, he did it. Riser's queen is shot."

{Great work Ramsei. Akeno!}

{Ara? Who is this calling?}

{Just deal with them already.}

{Huh? I can't tell what the order is.}

With her patience rearing thin, Rias took a deep sigh and gave her direct order. Rebels style.

{Sigh….Red 2, this is Red leader. Blast them….}

{Ufufu! Gladly!}

As if on cue, the sadist queen created a storm cloud above Yubelluna and unleashed her thunder at full force.

"Guh! It's a trap! I….need…to…phoenix….tears…."

SWOOP! PING!

With another arrow fired, the bottle she took out shattered leaving the bomb queen to retire immediately. Besides that, only a small fraction of Riser's peerage remains in the said area.

{Riser-sama's Queen, Pawns, and Bishop retired.}

{Tahnk you Akeno. You may stay back for now.}

{Aww… but I'll miss all the fun.}

{Now Yuuto and Koneko.}

{Roger that Red leader.}

With his newfound ninjutsu skills, Kiba created a pair of daggers and zipped towards the enemy knights.

"Karlamine! Be careful! He's not fighting like a typical knight. UGH!"

"Siris!"

"Hyaku-GIRI!" (Means a thousand slashes)

Within seconds, the Gremory Knight dashed to and for both Phenix knights whilst landing several cuts. Leaving the field dyed red which results in their retirement. As for Koneko, she's in charge of Xue Lan and Isabel, Riser's rooks.

{Both ofRiser-sama's Knights retired}

"How is she dodging our strikes?"

"Rooks aren't supposed to move that fast."

As the 3 rooks finally engaged, both of the Phenex girls were having difficulty landing killer blows at the white haired girl due to her deflecting and redirecting their punches and kicks. Before long, the Phenex rooks were exhausted while Koneko took her chance to deliver 20 jabs at her opponents.

"Guh! How did she hit us without feeling any fatigue? No wait! Wing chu…Goh!"

"AHHH!"

{Both of Riser's rooks retired.}

{Well done both of you. Let's regroup at the clubroom so we could….}

{AAHHHHH!...}

{BUCHOU! RISER'S HERE!...AAhhh! Warn the other…..}

{Rias-sama's Rook and Knight retired.}

Out in the open, Riser along with his sister and Bishop Ravel made their appearance at the field with flames that could rival the sun.

"RIAS! THAT WAS VERY CUNNING OF YOU TO DEFEAT MY SERVANTS LIKE THAT! COME OUT OF YOUR CASTLE SO WE COULD SETTLE THIS!"

Meanwhile, everyone in the clubroom heard his declaration but decided to remain hidden to plan their next move.

"No answer eh. I'M COMING IN! SEND ALL THE SERVANTS YOUWANT! I'LL JUST BURN THEM OFF!"

{Ramsei! Issei! Akeno! To my side! We'll welcome him with open arms.}

With his wings of fire, Riser bursts into the club room only to come face to face with a certain priestess and Shatriya.

"You! Where is Rias!?"

"You don't deserve her Tandoori. There're other fishes in the sea, why her?"

"Don't make jokes with me brown boy. I'll turn you are your queen into charcoal!"

Again, with his wings blazing, Riser fired multiple fireballs at Ramsei. However, they seem to simply extinguish in mid air.

"What!? My flames! How is this possible!?"

In maximum fury, the Phenex heiress charged towards both Ramsei and Akeno. Only to find himself out of breath as he closes in.

"I..I can't breath…"

"Ara ara. I guess we forgot to mention that this area is filled with Carbon dioxide gas."

"Now Issei! Do it!"

From behind stood Issei and his Master with an intense aura of destruction.

"CO2 puts out fire. It's simple chemistry. No fire, no regeneration. Now witness the true power of the house of Gremory! BE GONE RISER PHENEX!"

With a single blast of destructive energy, Riser's body disintegrated and was forced to retire.

{Riser-sama has been defeated. This Match belongs to Rias Gremory-sama.}

"We did it buchou! Now you're free!"

"And I couldn't have done it without all of you. Thank you all very much."

All the ORC members minus Kiba and Koneko were brought to a group hug by their club president as a symbol of their victory.

"By the way Ise, I'm proud of you for supporting me till the end. Although, it's a pity that now you have a dragon's arm."

"Nah…It was a fair bargain. How else would I be able to activate Gift?"

"Although, I doubt Sona would allow you to walk around with and arm like that."

[Actually partner. I know of a way to get your arm back. But you'll require the services of your senpais here.]

"Ufufu! If it's us that Ise-kun needs, how could we refuse? Ne Rias?"

"I guess we don't have a choice. Sekiryuutei, please explain to us in detail about this….method of yours."

(Timeskip)

(Issei POV)

After the rating game, we're back at the clubroom to celebrate buchou's freedom and of course, our 1st victory against that yakitori. I've also heard that Kiba and Koneko-chan are currently recovering in the underworld hospital and will be discharged at the very next day.

As for myself, I'm just glad that now buchou could make her own life decisions. Oh, did I mention? We've invited Kaichou and the rest of the student council to our party. After all, the more the merrier. I was just admiring the night sky at the roof of the old school building when suddenly; I felt two soft pillows pressed against my back.

"Ne Ise, how are you doing?"

"UUWAAA buchou! Oh nothing! I'm just enjoying the night. That's all!"

"Ufufu! I haven't got the opportunity to properly thank you yet. So here…."

Buchou then unbuttoned her top and unhooked her bra, which in turn made her glorious oppai pop out for my viewing pleasure. Massive nosebleed! Before I could do anything else, my head was pulled in by buchou and landed on her boobs. AAaaahhhh, so soft…..even cushions and marshmallows can't beat these.

"You like breast, don't you Ise? Feel free to snuggle in them as long as you want."

"Mmhpm."

"Oh sorry.."

buchou released me from her embrace as I gasped for air.

"But you were the one who dealt the final blow. I was only there for assistance. I'm happy buchou, but what did I do to deserve this reward?"

"You've lend me your strength of course. What's more, you're by my side throughout the whole battle. That, Ise, is a good enough reason for you to deserve this reward. And of course, this."

This time, buchou lunged towards me. On my lips, I felt a warm and sweet sensation full of passion.

"Ufufu! A girl's 1st kiss is important in Japan isn't it?"

"I guess so….Bu-Hey! Is it ok if you gave it to me?"

"I don't see why not. Ne Ise…."

"Yes buchou?"

"I've decided to live with you."

"Huh?! But why?"

"So I can help with your dragon arm of course. Besides, there's another reason why."

Buchou then approached my ear and whispered with the cutest voice she had.

"Because, I…..Love…..You…"

MASSIVE NOSEBLEEEEEDDD!

"Ufufu! Sometimes I wonder how you survived with all these nosebleeds you went through."

"Wait- hold on buchou. You love me?!"

"To be honest, every time I saw you from my window, I thought of you as a cute kouhai and a little brother. But then I see how passionate and kind you are that I couldn't help but have a crush on you."

She noticed me? So that's why she was at the window the last time. I thought it was a coincidence.

"For a pervert, you're surprisingly nice to girls and always willing to lend a helping hand. I glad that you chose to rescue Asia. That's also why, I chose you to be my 1st when I had to defile myself."

"I-I honestly don't know what to say….erm.."

"I'm sorry for confessing so soon. But if you want to take it slow, I don't mind."

Oh my…wow, it's not every day your crush comes to you and made your dreams come true. And for my crush to be Buchou for crying out loud.

"I er…I need a moment to think… erm, you're welcomed to stay with me and Asia, but…."

"But what?"

"I need to be alone for a while buchou. See you back home…"

"Wait , Ise!"

My thoughts are now circling and my senses have gone haywire as I ran back home. If I have to be honest with myself, I was delighted to have buchou accept me as her other half. But at the same time, it was hard for me to believe that a mere servant could ever be in a relationship with his master. As for tonight, all I could do is forget what happened and live life the way it is.

(timeskip)

(Rias POV)

My heart ached as I watched Ise left me. But it wasn't long before another person came up to the roof and sat beside me.

"I heard someone yelling and rushed over. Eh? Where's the pervert?"

"He's gone Ramsei. It's my fault."

"Aww…don't cry Rias. There there, just tell old Ramsei what happen."

I leaned onto his shoulder as he patted my back hoping to calm me down. I'm not sure it's because of his mantra, but its working.

"Sniff…I confessed to Ise. But he seems to think otherwise."

"What?! That idiot."

"Why? What happened?"

"Well Rias, you can put you doubts to rest because, yes. He had a crush on you too."

"Are you serious!? Then why did he run away?"

"You have to see this from a pervert's point of view. I guess it's just unbelievable to him that a school idol and princess of the underworld to have feelings for a mere servant like him."

"Oh, I'd never consider Ise a mere servant. He's my precious junior, my little brother….my soul mate…."

"Then I could only suggest that you tell him all this. But a fair warning Rias. Never ever push him to accept you love. The one thing a man fears is a yandere."

"Ufufu! Don't worry Ramsei. I'll make sure to comfort him."

"That's my girl."

I'm lucky to have a friend like him. One who gives the best advice and is there for me whenever a problem arises.

"Say, I was wondering. Do you have anybody you love Ramsei?"

"Hmm… I'm not sure. What, now you have feelings for me?"

"Oh no no, you're like my best friend. Besides Akeno that is."

"Glad to be here to help Red leader."

"Copy that Red 1 ufufu."

Uh oh! Issei is in panic mode! Yes, I've made Rias fall in love with her pawn a lot earlier than the canon. And no, Rias and Ramsei don't have feelings for each other. They're more like platonic friends if you will. Also, I've made Ramsei sort of the comic relief for the story by providing pop culture references and other comedic material. Until then , so long and I'll see you guys next time.
