lmao it's been two years I don't have an author's a note for this bc I posted it in my other fic, in short, a lot of stuff happened and I lost the motivation to work on my stories. But yeah so I'm gonna answer reviews and we'll get on with the chapter

Gognar: Yes Vali is from the Lucifer family, but I was gonna use a fake last name since it would be a bit odd if someone had the last name Lucifer (and remember that Rizevim also wants to find her and if someone's listed with the last name Lucifer, he'll notice something's up). Thank you for the suggestions!

romerolaguado: no te preocupes porque no soy tan buena pensando en buenos nombres para mis personajes tampoco

victoria cullen34: thank

Nintendoes Gamer: I mean I was under the assumption that maybe Rias or even Sirzechs like placed a spell to hide what Koneko was, and this version of Vali isn't as powerful as canon Vali so she probably wasn't as good as sensing that kind of thing.

NoName: Ya so I will incorporate Vali's team somehow in the story so yee as for what exactly, however,,, :^)))))) and the story will most likely be one pairing.

anonymous: I should be updating regularly but as someone who is lazy,,,,,yikes but I mean better late than never, haha

Shini Kurogane: I'll most likely keep it as one pairing

7137: Oh dang my guy, like I'm no good with actual names and most of the time I'll use those name generators lmao like it would take me so long to come up with that and take note of how it sounds like

Freedom2134: ayo thanks

MakkuroX: glad you like it my dude

Vali never really liked to get attached to people. Living with her Grandfather for so long didn't help either, not like he'd ever let her have something good in her life. But then here's this little nun who was undeniably lost and looking for a church, who was practically the living embodiment of innocence, decides that they're friends.

She had met Asia Argento the day after some weird fallen angel wearing a trench coat and a fedora decided to attack her out of the blue just the night prior. She probably could've handled it, but Rias showed up anyway. The night before that a different fallen angel decided to attack her. That time Vali managed to push her back with a few barriers and offensive spells enough to get away.

As much as she would have liked getting to fight a fallen, Vali didn't want nor need the attention a possible fight would occur.

Socialization of any kind was never a strong suit of Vali Lucifer. One of the few good things about living with that detestable man that was her Grandfather was that he never took her anywhere due to her (former) status as a half-devil instead of a full blooded one (except for the times she would sneak out and go places with her team). Even whenever Katase and Murayama approached her, interactions with them remained minimal at best.

The girl, Asia, however, didn't seem to care, and with a bright smile, she declared them friends. Even as that Raynare chick snuck up on them and blindsided Vali with a holy spear to the leg, Asia smiled and despite her tears apologized for Vali getting hurt because of her and even before that when she met some psycho priest who killed one of the Gremory's clients, Asia took the blame (yet it wasn't her fault that Vali almost got shot, which was something she had to remind Rias of since the red haired girl liked to blame the incident on her friendship with the nun).

Those were the main reasons why Vali decided to ignore Rias's order in not going to the Church to save her friend, that and because when Vali was told not to do something, it was more likely she was going to do the thing anyway. Spite was quite a good motivator.

Plus the descendant of Lucifer also discovered a neat little trick when she fought against the seemingly endless amount of goons that Raynare chick and her other group of friends seemed to have to work for them. Well, she also remembered part of Rias's lecture when she talked about promotion.

She promoted to a Rook and took care of those problems easy. She even gave that psycho a good punch to the face. Even Koneko was impressed, and it took a lot for the neutral faced girl to show any emotions other than disgust or annoyance at the two most perverted boys at Kuoh Academy, Matsuda and Motohama.

Vali hadn't made it in time. Whatever ritual that bitch Raynare was trying to complete succeeded, Asia's sacred gear was taken and she was the ritual took place, one of the straps on Asia's white dress had ripped, and so before she did anything, Vali tied the ripped pieces of cloth back together. She had to had to help her keep her modesty. It was a bit of a blur and had it not been for Albion, she would've killed Raynare with no hesitation. At least Rias took care of their other three feathery friends so then she handled Raynare as well.

She had it coming.

Now Vali had to worry about Asia. Even with her lack of basic resuscitation, Vali knew about pressing down on her chest to get her to breathe. Whether it was to try and resuscitate her or to really just try and comfort herself, Vali continued on, also ignoring the looks of pity from the others.

[Vali.]

'Don't worry Albion, she'll be okay.'

[Vali, she cannot be saved, she's already gone.]

'No she'll be okay. She'll be okay.' Vali answered, still trying to get Asia to wake up.

The Heavenly Dragon was silent. Good, Vali needed to focus anyway.

"She can be saved Vali," Rias spoke softly, in an attempt to try and comfort her distressed pawn.

Vali sent a harsh look her way, her bright blue eyes shined with unshed tears and then she said quietly,"She shouldn't have even been in this position in the first place. Out of all people, Asia didn't deserve it."

Without a word, Rias slowly approached her pawn and the nun. A red bishop piece in her hand and in the other, the Asia's sacred gear, Twilight Healing.

Vali only watched as Rias returned the rings and place the bishop piece in Asia's palm. Then the next thing she knew, Asia was alive, a bit shaken from the whole ordeal, but alive.

"Vali-san? Where are we?" Asia asked while blinking in confusion before she saw the cut on Vali's leg, the pant leg on her dark colored jeans stained with some blood, "Oh no! Vali-san, you're hurt! Let me help!"

Vali didn't argue and allowed Asia to do heal the small cut. When the former nun noticed the others around them, she grew flustered, not used to being surrounded by many people.

"Sorry about your dress, it kind of ripped when Raynare took your sacred gear," Vali apologized, sheepishly scratching the back of her head.

When Vali tried to take off her black jacket, she nearly winced at how her arm smarted sharply. It was probably from Raynare actually threw her into a church pew. Vali taunted her enough with the knowledge that she had Divine Dividing and Raynare could never measure up to Vali's strength, Raynare literally zoomed (yes she made the zoom noise with how fast she moved or was it 'nyoom'?) through the air and threw her into a church pew.

But that way Vali got to make physical contact with her and managed to divide her power and take most of it for herself. Vali even had the white dragon wings with the glowing blue 'feathers' out. Raynare wasn't worth activating Balance Breaker (although Vali wasn't sure how long she could hold it, the most having been three hours, even then that was when she fought the hunters Rizevim sent after her).

Once Asia covered herself better with her jacket and then Rias introduced herself and the others in her peerage, and explained that she was now her new Bishop. Rias had allowed them to leave, deciding to explain much better tomorrow at the school, their night had been long enough.

Vali was going to walk to her apartment, she just wanted to relax and sleep before she had to go to school the next day. But she was stopped, and suddenly Asia hugged her tightly. Slowly, and albeit a little awkwardly, Vali slowly returned the embrace.

"Thank you," Was the faint whisper that had come from the former nun.

Vali blinked before a small smile grew on her face, "I'm glad you're okay."

The walk to Vali's apartment was a quiet one, as she was a bit in thought to really hold conversation.

'You don't have to worry about this Albion.'

[Well I'm the only one who will. You've exposed yourself and some of your power to someone from the Fallen Angel faction. Your choice could have risked your identity.]

'Okay but what is that Raynare chick gonna do? Rias blasted her with her destruction magic. She's dead.'

[You haven't been calling her Gremory lately.]

'Not to her face no. What does that have to do with anything?'

[You're getting close to these people Vali.]

'Yeah haha, I for once don't have the emotional capacity of a rock and I'm making friends yippee. Besides consider it, me adapting to my surroundings. If I'm gonna be stuck here I might as well enjoy it, no?'

[As amusing as that is I'm sure.] The dryness was strong in his tone. [But remember Vali, you'll have to choose between your team or the Gremory's group. Especially since your Team is also with that group.]

Vali didn't respond, but Albion was right. there would be a time when she'd have to choose one. Although when that time came, Vali hoped she knew what she'd do then.

A full week had passed since the incident in the church, and Vali's injuries had healed easily (which Vali found that she had a bit more than she thought, who knew she had a tiny concussion from how hard Rayanre threw her). Asia had moved in with her (Rias had explained to the silver haired girl that Asia asked her to allow her to live with Vali, instead of moving into someplace on her own). It was a surprise, but not an unwelcome one.

Katase and Murayama warmed up to her as well, since as soon as they saw her, they declared that she was very cute. Good thing too, since technically Vali was a third year at Kuoh Academy and Asia was enrolled as a second year, and she could rely on Katase and Murayama to keep the 'Perverted Duo' and any other creeps away from Asia. Poor thing was too nice and trusting for her own good. But then again, that was why they were friends.

If Vali had to choose a highlight of this day, this overgrown turkey spew words about marrying the Gremory girl and bragging about his large harem was not one of her choices.

Another she wouldn't pick was how as soon as he saw her, the turkey decided to try and flirt with Vali while being there to convince Rias to marry him and 'unite' the great houses of Phenex and Gremory. Sheesh if you're gonna be an egotistical scumbag, at least be a loyal one. Not only that, he smelled like he sprayed too much cologne on himself before he came to the club room.

"I see Rias has chosen quite the lovely pawn for her peerage," Riser, aka the overgrown turkey, spoke with an arrogant grin on his face. He still had his arm wrapped around Rias, and he seemingly didn't know what the concept of personal space was either, "I wouldn't mind you being part of the marriage pact."

"And I'm guessing the size of your harem makes you seem like you're compensating for something," Vali replied with a shrug.

At her remark, Rizer's smirk left his face. Rias sent her a look which said, Don't anger him, please. Akeno tried and failed to stifle down a giggle (although Vali wasn't sure if she was really trying at all).

"I mean who really has all their pieces used up?" Vali continued, causing the Phenex's eyes to narrow.

Rizer stood up, glaring at the silver haired girl, "You'd best be glad that you're a servant of my future wife. Or else I would have to show you what I do to disobedient servants like you."

Vali snorted and crossed her arms, "Oh really?"

Rizer smirked, one of his arms lighting up with flames "I'll consider it a challenge."

"That is enough. Both of you," A third voice commanded. Oh right, the Maid was here too. If it weren't for the strength she felt when Vali had first met her, maybe Vali would've challenged her too.

[Vali...]

'What I could totally take him!'

[He may be arrogant, but he is a strong opponent. You cannot assume that you'll defeat him so easily.]

'But I could still beat him no?'

[That's not the point.]

"Well, I suppose if it's a direct order from the Ultimate Queen, I have no choice but to comply."

"Pompous ass," Vali grumbled.

"Rias-sama," The Maid began, "As ordered by your brother and father, I am here to make sure the talks are peaceful. If neither of you can come up with a solution, then we must go along with our second option. You are to settle your differences with Rizer-sama in a rating game."

Rating Games, a form of entertainment for Devils. Her grandfather only enjoyed them from time to time because he got to see the "false" devils injure or possibly kill one another. Vali liked to fight strong opponents so she supposed that she couldn't judge.

"This is your newest Pawn correct?" Rizer then laughed, "That's all to your household? I would've expected more from you dear Rias."

Rias stared at him with narrowed eyes, "And so what if they are? My servants are more than enough capable."

Then an orange magic circle began to grow in front of them, and a group of women appeared in the middle of it. Rizer's complete peerage. "Need I remind you that I have a full set?"

With his back turned, Vali mocked his tone by silently repeating his words, much to the amusement of the other club members. Then when he faced them again, she stopped, her arms crossed over her chest again and a neutral expression was on her face.

Even by then the Maid was a bit amused. Good.

Now if only that Turkey could leave already.

listen,,,I get so emo about Asia bc she honestly never asked for any of the bs that happened to her in the begin and I think I was lowkey self projecting lmao

k so tell me what you think bye see you next update (whenever that is)
