What lay before me was the stall in near ruin. Different types of pots and pans were scattered across the ground covered in blood. Some of them were even bent. In the remains of the inside was a girl wearing a school uniform with a lion next to her. The uniform looks oddly familiar… black and white with a yellow sash… aren't those the colors to the highschool that has those students that went missing on the school trip? How come one of them is here? I thought that there were no survivors that made it out alive. The girl then noticed me looking at her. Her eyes looked soulless and her skin was pale. Her lion also looked up towards me. The lion had the owner of the shop inside of its mouth, growling.

"Hey, did you and your pet have something to do with all of this?" I tried to ask her. She didn't say anything. All she did was look at me in a very intense manner. This is making me weirdly nervous.

"You….are not… one of them…", she silently said. She then snapped her finger getting the attention of her pet. The lion would drop the owner out of his mouth before slowly walking up towards me. The girl would point her finger towards me. "Kill," she said. Suddenly the lion charged at me.

"Rias, have you seen Kuroka and Shirone?" Sirzechs asked her younger sister.

"Oh, they told me that they went on a trip to Akihabara." Rias answered. "I was thinking about joining them, but I'm sure that they wanted a day just for themselves. They even brought back a lot of prizes." She pointed toward three big prize bags. "Although, they are late. Akeno should be here with both of them."

"I wonder that too…" Sirzechs would pull out a small pocket watch to take a look at the time. It was approaching 10 P.M. "... Come. We're going to the human world for a bit."

"...Are you really that worried about them? I'm sure that they could handle themselves."

"It's not that. I'm afraid that it might be something more than that."

"Wow. I have to say, you and your overgrown kitty are quite durable, nya," I said. We've been fighting for quite a bit but she hasn't been able to do any serious damage towards me. The lion is on the somewhat fast side, but that's only compared to the average human. I am able to outrun it quite easily. The only notable thing about this girl and her pet is that the lion can heal up rather fast. It can even heal up against my magic. Probably some kind of spell the girl casted on it. "Tell me, how did you and an entire lion are able to walk around Akihabara without causing some kind of commotion?" She decided to stay silent before snapping her fingers, singling her lion to attack again. It tried to rush straight ahead towards me and goes in for a raw headbutt, but I just hold my hand out to simply stop it dead in its tracks. "You know, as a feline myself, I do feel very sorry for you. But on the other hand…" I tighten my grip around his snout before picking it up and tossing him towards a nearby dumpster. "... you did pick a fight with me. I'm only doing this out of self-defense, nya."

The lion slowly began to get back up onto its feet. If it was any normal animal, then it would still be prone towards the ground unconscious, but it's shaking it off everytime. It then comes at me again with it's mouth wide open trying to bite me. I decided to use some magic to make a defensive shield that stopped the animal in its tracks. "My apologies, I'm not on the menu, nya." I then made the defensive circle into an attacking one to release a chi blast down its throat, sending it back to the school girl. This time, it stayed down for quite a bit. "Jeez, your pet lion is quite something."

"..." Man, she's not the talkative type.

"You're a student of that Ryoukuu school, right?" I asked her. "I've heard that a lot of the students died on some kind of field trip, or at least went missing. No found bodies, no kind of evidence of anything attacking the ship. So how did you survive?" She still didn't say anything. She looked towards her lion that was still struggling to get back up on it's feet. "That attack is strong enough to make a Mid-Class devil be bedridden for a while, your friend isn't getting up anytime soon. Now, back to you…"

Wooosh!

Something flew past my head and landed near the girl. From what it looks like a monk staff.

"My my, you ran into a bit of trouble, Sae." A male voice came from behind me. I turned around to see who or what it was. What I saw was a man wearing a dark color three piece suit walking up towards the both of us. "I guess with the beast you have control of, it would take a lot of energy to keep it, but we have people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for our goals." He then walked past me to pick up the staff out of the ground. "But to run into a devil of all things. I bet you're part of that Gremory girl peerage, aren't you?" He asked me.

"And what's that to you?" I asked him.

"Oh nothing," he said as he took off his glasses, cleaning them off with a piece of cloth. "It's just some time ago some of my family members made a deal with them some time ago apparently." He puts them back on before double tapping the end of the staff onto the ground, causing a magic circle to form on the ground under him, the student and the lion.

"Hey! Where do you think you're goi–"

"Tell Akeno that I said hi." With that, all of them teleported away.

"Sister!" Shirone's voice came from behind me. I turned around to see her along with Rias and Sirzechs. Shirone ran up and hugged me. Both Rias and Sirzechs looked around the alleyway, seeing all of the destruction.

"So what happened here?" Sirzechs asked.

"Well, it's a long story…"

Sorry for the long update to this story. I'll try to go back to monthly updates between this and the Raynare story.
