Black Dragon and White Kitten

Chapter 3

Rescuing a Fool

The school day went on like one would expect, Hiei continued to receive glares from the male population for coming into school with Koneko, the mascot of the school. The glares he received from the female population was because he openly called Rias, one of the two great ladies of Kuoh, a brat, you'd think he killed their dog with how they glared at him. During lunch time he would spend it on the roof after speeding to the forest to grab him some real food, not cafeteria garbage. Many actually wondered where it is he went and why he didn't smell like their cafeteria food like everyone else, probably why he noticed Rias wet from so many showers in the club room. The rest of the day was fine, he overheard Rias telling Issei to not go near the church that he took a nun to, Hiei didn't see anything wrong from doing that, then again, he didn't see anything wrong with a lot of things.

Speaking of Hiei and Issei's relationship, the pervert invited him to lunch with his two friends, Hiei rejected before he finished his friend's name and left to head for the roof. The girls treated him a little better that day after that, still didn't like him though, not that he cared or paid attention to them, no, he paid attention to different things.

Like now for instance, yesterday the class had a test, the teacher thought he'd go ahead and give the test to Hiei to see how much he remembered from his old school. Hiei thought that if he was going to be stuck here, then he'll at least have some fun of his own while he's here, to put it simply, he cheated. He took the answers to the test directly from the teacher's head and made sure he got the top score in the class, to add insult to injury, he made everyone else fail the test, all for his own amusement.

The teacher gave the test back to everyone today and looked at everyone in disappointment, "I'm disappointed in all of you, I know we covered the material and I know you all had it, what happened. The only one that passed with flying covers is the new kid, Hiei, well done, I don't know what school you went to before this one, but good job," the teacher complimented.

Everyone else glared at Hiei, how did a new kid get the top grade on a test, and how did all of them fail when they knew they knew the answers before the test. To make matters even more infuriating, he had a smug smirk on his face, just to piss everyone else off even more, he was having so much fun with this new world.

"I have to go to the office for a moment, self-study in the meantime," with that, the teacher left and Hiei could literally feel the killer intent radiating from everyone else in the room, he just made an evil smile. Never let it be said that he may be stoic and one evil son of a bitch, but boy did he know how to have fun.

That night (mansion)

That night the entire club was tasked with taking out a stray devil, something about it killing its master and deciding to start luring in humans and start killing them. "Stray devils start out as devil servants," Kiba started to inform as they teleported to where the stray devil was located.

"You mean like we are," Issei asked as the circle started to glow beneath their feet and they felt the pull of magic on the other side.

"Yes, but they held resentment for being turned into a devil or made to serve someone else, then the devil lets that build until one day the devil kills the master due to mistreatment. This is often the case with those that were forced into labor or who have been threatened into serving a high-class devil, those that were in servitude are often mistreated and taken from their families. Often having to leave a family member behind because they killed their master in a different location and couldn't get to them on time, this left the devil becoming a stray and leaving for a life on the run. Did you really think everyone was going to be gung hoe about serving someone just because they gave you a new life, or in your case, a big chest," Hiei informed.

"I really don't like you," Issei replied as they emerged from the circle and headed for the mansion the stray devil was located in.

"According to the reports, this stray has been tricking people into that abandoned house and eating them," Akeno informed them as they walked, "tonight's job isn't too hard, just find the beast and kill it."

"These monsters are pure evil, they don't care about anything but their own selfish desires, and that always ends in ugliness," Kiba informed as they walked inside the abandoned house.

"Issei, are you familiar with the game of chess," Rias asked as they walked and looked around, for any sign of the stray.

"Yeah, sort of, I've played it but I totally suck," Issei admitted, this guy has some serious self-esteem issues he needs to resolve if he wants a harem so badly.

"As the master, I'm the king, my empress is the queen, my cavalier the knight, my tank the rook, my clergymen the bishop, and my foot soldier the pawn. Devils with titles and nobility grant the characteristics of these pieces to each one of their servants, was have a special name for them, we call them our evil pieces," she informed him.

"Sorry, but why are you telling me this," he asked, why would anyone tell someone about a piece used to turn them into a devil, knowledge is power.

"I want you and Hiei to watch and learn, pay close attention to my devils as they do battle here tonight," Rias instructed them, Hiei wasn't really going to listen to that though.

"Oh, okay," Issei said as if he didn't understand why, or what he was about to see, and in truth, he won't understand at all until it's seen with his own eyes.

"It's here," Koneko stated in monotone, most got on guard or battle-ready positions, Hiei just made sure it wasn't going to be a threat to him, but kept his guard up as to not get struck in the back again.

"Now what could that foul, fickle smell be, hum, something smells quite delicious as well, I wonder if it tastes sweet or bitter," came a woman's voice and out from behind a pillar came a raven haired naked woman.

"I see big boobies," Issei exclaimed in excitement at seeing a chest right before a battle started, a battle, can this guy even think.

"Viser you wretch, you betrayed your master and ran away to fulfil the lustful wants and desires that have consumed you, your sins are worthy of a thousand hells. In the name of the great Markey of Gremory, be gone, or meet your death," Rias exclaimed in a grand way as if it was a rehearsed speech she was to give before each stray devil she was to kill.

"Oh, just give it a rest you little slut, you always have had it in for me, you're just jealous because your breasts will never be as luscious as these," Viser exclaimed while groping herself.

"This is your final warning, go back to your master now," she warned in a commanding tone, it didn't really seem to have an effect since she was clearly too deranged to listen to anything Rias had to say.

"Woah, this is a stray devil, she looks like a soft core late night cable stay," Issei said with a grin that reeked of perverted thoughts.

"Let me show you what I'm made of then," Viser insanely said as she revealed her entire form, her lower half had large arms and hands with long fingernails for feet. At the end of her legs where they meet her form was like a vertical mouth made for crushing everything it got a hold of with incredible force and razor-sharp teeth, and a snake for a tail.

"See what I mean, when I said it ends in ugliness, I wasn't joking," Kiba said as the stray continued to fondle her own breasts and got off on it.

"I've never seen a creature as ugly as this," Hiei commented before they all turned back to look at him, "I've seen ugly demons the likes of which you wouldn't believe and out of all of them, she is the ugliest."

"She's got a really nice rack though, what a waste," Issei mentioned before Vier started to actually grow her nipples out with a red magic circle, "oh, this is not good," lasers started to shoot from her nipples. Everyone had to dodge in some form, except Hiei who just waved off the blasts and sent them upwards, others dived for cover, Rias had to tackle Issei to the ground to save him from being hit. The wall behind them melted with a hole in it when they turned around to see it, "this is a porno I don't want to be in."

"Please be careful," Rias ordered before looking back over to where Kiba was, "Kiba," she called and with a war cry, the knight moved at a halfway decent speed.

"He just vanished," Issei exclaimed in amazement as he saw the knight's speed, Hiei just scoffed, he could move so fast that this fight could already have been over, but he wanted to see how they did in a battle.

"No, he didn't, he's just moving fast, in this game, he is my knight along with Hiei, their main attribute is their speed, and Kiba's ultimate attack weapon is his sword," Rias informed before Kiba cut the arms off Viser.

She screamed out in pain as Koneko stepped up to the plate, "Koneko, watch out," Issei warned as if the girl couldn't defend herself, but Hiei payed attention to the arms behind the group, he incinerated them with a blast.

Viser went to devour the girl with its lower mouth, Hiei saw the trajectory of the teeth and noticed that they would shred her uniform and give the perv a decent show that he didn't need. Acting quick enough, he undid the bandages on his arm in an instant and used them like a chain in a fight, swung to wrap around Koneko's waist before pulling back to a foot outside her reach. Koneko didn't know what happened, but she used that split second to land a huge blow on to Viser's side and send her back to the columns. When they all looked back at Hiei to find out why he did that he said, "the teeth would tear some of her clothing, I didn't feel like giving the pervert a show at every woman in the club," with a stoic face.

"Fine, in the game, Koneko is my rook, her attribute is simple, she has an unparalleled strength, as you no doubt just saw with her punch," Rias informed.

"Mental note to self, do not piss her off," Issei thought out loud, as if him being a pervert didn't piss her off in the slightest, she hated perverts.

"Akeno," Rias called out to her queen for her to begin the final part of it, Hiei decided he should get any information he could from the stray's mind while it was being weekend.

"Oh, is it my turn, how exciting, I so love this game, I've got news for you, you're not the only one that likes to play rough around here, so let's you and I have some fun," Akeno said, Hiei got it right with his first thought, sadist.

"Akeno is my queen, her attribute is a perfect combo of all the other pieces, she's simply unbeatable," Rias informed as lightning sparked between Akeno's hands and Viser whimpered.

"Tough girl, not ready to give up yet, goody, I get to play some more," Akeno said as she called forth the power of lightning from a yellow magic circle and strike the stray devil with a huge blast.

"Her power is a dark magical power, and that's not all," Rias said as if leading up to a big reveal to the boy.

"This violence, it's making me so hot," Akeno moaned out as she licked her lips with a visible blush on her cheeks, now that should have been the red flag for Issei to call out sadist.

"She's really into S&M," Rias informed at last and she really had it wrong, Hiei had seen 'really into S&M', this was borderline obsession.

"Is this as good for you as it is for me," Akeno asked as she electrocuted the poor creature, even Hiei felt a smidge sorry for the creature, and that was saying something.

"You mean she gets off on this," Issei asked in a dumbfounded state, it was a normal reaction to those who don't know the signs, and boy were they numerous.

"Akeno, I think she' shad enough," Rias called out and forcing the girl to stop her assault on the stray.

"Awe, over already, I was just starting to enjoy myself," Akeno commented as she turned and still had a blush on her cheeks from being so turned on.

Rias was about to walk over and destroy the creature when Hiei phased in front of her to stop her, "I'm not done yet," was the only thing he said as he walked up to the downed Viser.

"Not done with what, wanting to show off and have a chance to fight her as well, or do you want to touch those enormous jugs," Issei asked with a perverted grin.

"No, you perv, since you weekend her I've delved into her mind and saw her past, she was forced to become a devil, forced into this life, you say she deserves a thousand hells for betraying her master. I say she deserves a simple death, nothing merciless, she was forced, she wanted out, her master wouldn't allow it plain and simple," Hiei stated.

Viser lifted up her head and looked at who delayed her execution and there was an actual tear in her eye, "please, kill me," she begged. Hiei decided to end this before the others decided to interfere, so he ended it by sending a wave of energy to disintegrate her without any pain.

"There is an order to these things Hiei, even if she was forced, she was a devil turned stray, that's the end of the discussion when a servant betrays a master, that's the law of the land," Rias stated without moving an inch.

"Killing without honor means you're no different from the monsters you kill when ordered, know this brat, I will fight by your side when called, I will go to your school, and I will complete these pacts. I will do many things, but there is one thing I shall never do as a warrior, I will never fight a battle without honor," Hiei said before calmly walking out of the mansion. He walked to where the magic circle from before was and stood there and waited for the rest to catch up, they came a minute later.

"By the way, I have a solution to your living arrangements, it seems that when I talked to my brother about you, he wanted an eye kept on you at all times, not every day that we get a visitor from another world. So, I've decided that you and Koneko will continue to live together, we'll magically extend the apartment so you won't be sleeping on the couch of course. Other than that, I'll let you know when you'll have you're first summoning, either that, or I'll have you go with someone to show you how it's done," Rias informed as they got into the magic circle.

Akeno then chose that moment to asked something that was on her mind, "what about Issei, they could live together, the boy does have room, and it would make more sense."

"The first thing I'll do if you stick me with this pervert is to kill him in his sleep, I will slit his throat like an assassin in the night, I refuse to degrade myself to living with a pervert," Hiei snapped with a glare at Akeno.

"I knew he'd say something like that, and I knew that putting them together would result in Issei's death so I think I made the right call, don't you," Rias asked her queen, she was starting to understand Hiei, if only a little.

"Hn," Hiei grunted before the circle activated and they were teleported to the club room to then spread off to wherever they were going, Hiei wordlessly walked out with Koneko saying goodbye to the peerage before following.

They walked in silence for a while before Koneko asked something that had been plaguing her mind, "that stuff you said about strays and family to Issei, you delved more into my mind than just knowledge on devils, didn't you."

"I have no clue what you're talking about, I said those things because they are true, nothing more and nothing less, demons never could reincarnate someone like you devils can. We wouldn't even if we could, more demons mean more competition and more competition means less humans to eat, I said that because some devils don't think about if an individual wants to be a devil. They don't think about if they wish to be a servant to another, and they don't think what happens to siblings that are forced to separate and not contact one another in fear of the other's death," Hiei stated as he walked.

"Why do you care, it's not like you can know what it's like to have a sibling on the run, she never even came to talk to me, I don't even know if she's looking for me," Koneko stopped in her walk to glare at him as she spoke.

"I have a personal interest, your case is like the inverse of mine, while you are the sibling left behind, I was the one that became the criminal, though, with my case, my sister found me. She found me and has yet to realize that she has, so she's still looking, I choose not to tell her because she deserves better than a criminal for a brother. I don't know why your sister is not seeking you out, and you don't know if your sister is not seeking you out, all you know is that you have not seen your sister. I do know what it's like to be the criminal on the run though, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that your sister is looking for you," Hiei said after turning to look at her.

Koneko couldn't believe what she was hearing, he basically just openly admitted to reading her mind of private memories that she wanted to keep bottled up. Then, he just shot her argument with her sister all to hell and back, no pun intended, with his side of a story similar to hers, may not be exact, but it was close enough. "You're forgiven for peeking into my mind, but only because you gave me insight to Kuroka's possible side of the story," Koneko said before she began to walk.

Hiei began walking when she got beside of him, her head was down so he couldn't see her expression, but if he could, he would see a smile on her face at the possibility that Kuroka just hasn't found her yet. However, this posed a different dilemma, 'should I tell Rias that Hiei was a criminal at one point, or leave it be, and should I tell her about Kuroka, or leave that be as well. If I don't say anything on either subject then nobody would get hurt, Hiei being a criminal was always a possibility but it's that fact that led to his insight about Kuroka. Not to mention that he more than likely omitted that fact from his story because we would've treated him differently and wouldn't have helped him get home to his sister. Wait, he never said he wanted to go back to his sister, and he just admitted that he didn't tell his sister who he was, then what could he be going back to demon world for. It can't be to just to serve someone, that isn't his type, his type is more of full battle, no, like an old wandering warrior with a set of goals in mind.'

Next night

Hiei was a little aggravated, Rias and Akeno were worried, Kiba was starting to worry, and Koneko was on the couch eating sweets on the couch, she didn't really care about the pervert all that much. Why, because Issei had already went to a client's house for a possible pact since Koneko was double-booked tonight, and he has yet to return even though it's well into the night. Suddenly, the emergency light that shown up whenever one of Rias's servants was in trouble went off and they all wordlessly made way for a teleportation circle.

They arrived just in time for Kiba to block an incoming strike from some guy with a light sword, "Kiba," Issei said in surprise when he saw who blocked the sword.

"Hey Issei, thought you could use a hand," Kiba commented as he held the blocking position while the guy was struggling.

"Oh, this is gross, talk about a nasty mess," Akeno commented as she stepped through the vertical teleportation circle.

"An exorcist," Koneko commented in monotone, this was surprising, didn't expect to see an exorcist here of all places, much less a nun as well by the looks of it.

"You guys came," Issei stated as if he wasn't really believing the fact that they came to save him, again, from something that wanted to kill him.

The exorcist jumped back a little before exclaiming, "hell yeah, now we've got ourselves a good old fashion gang bang," clearly the man was insane.

"I think not, the fool is an ally, and I'd rather not have him die to an insane man, sorry to disappoint," Hiei said as he came through the portal. He finally got a good look at the man they were addressing, he was young with white hair and held a sword of light in his right hand and a gun in his left.

"Oh, I'm far from disappointed, trust me, so, what's the deal, you're the pitcher and he's the catcher," the man asked with a wicked grin at the thought of killing devils.

"For a priest, you sure have a mouth on you," Kiba commented as he and everyone else caught the real meaning behind that comment.

"What are you, the impiety police, get off your high horse douche bag, hunting your kind is my only concern, so stop preaching and let's get to it," the priest barked.

"My, my, this guy's certainly a piece of work," Akeno commented with a blush on her cheeks and a head to the side.

"And you, my dear, are a hot piece of ass, oh those eyes are killing me, there's nothing I lust after more than a sexy devil bitch," the priest said with a blush of his own while he hugged himself.

"If you want it, come and get some," the voice of Rias said before a wave of destruction magic was sent towards the priest and forcing him to dodge, "but I really don't think you could handle it, nobody hurts one of my servants."

"Well, look who finally showed their tits, don't get ahead of yourself though because I'm sure I just hurt him," the priest pointed out, which was a true statement.

"It's alright, I'm here," Rias told Issei like a mother fussing over her child, or coddling to the point of hindrance, but what would Hiei know of that, he never had a mother figure.

"Thanks a lot, I'm sorry I let you down again, I tried but I failed you," Issei voiced out as he hung his head in shame, one thing about the fool, he puts others needs before his own, Hiei was reminded of his allies more and more.

"Look at how hurt you are Issei," Rias said as he brought his face up to look at hers, "I'm the one who's sorry, I sent you into the hands of an exorcist and I had no idea. There was a barrier in place until a moment ago so we didn't even realize," she said again caringly at him while Hiei stared at the corpses on the ground.

The priest went and stomped on a blonde girl that was too innocent to be here, "you were supposed to make a barrier, you little bitch, die," he yelled out with several stomps.

"You are terrible at massacres," Hiei's voice rang out from around the room and making the priest stop mid stomp to look at who insulted his work.

"What did you just say shitty devil, are you criticizing me about my work, I refuse to let myself be criticized by a devil scumbag," the priest yelled out.

"Considering where you chose to cut, you chose to make it as bloody as possible without even trying to go for painful shows you know nothing about how to actually send a message to your enemies," Hiei listed off.

"How would you know anything about it, huh, you don't look like you could stomach even half of the shit I've seen kid," the look the priest had was blank now, this must be new to him and doesn't know how to respond.

"To send a message to one's enemies, you go for a prolonged and tortured death, not a bloody and messy one, bloody and messy is for when you just want to kill without giving the enemy a sense of the pain you want them to feel. The victim dies quicker from blood loss and the pain they feel is less and less with each passing second, with no blood to the brain, nerve receptors don't pick anything up like they should. To send and actual message, you hit the nerves themselves, give them a shock, beat them, burning them can also be effective, if you don't burn the nerves themselves. The one thing you should keep in mind if you begin to cut them is to never hit an artery or vein, then they will bleed to quickly and you won't get to prolong the torture," Hiei informed.

Everyone was astounded at what they're hearing, Hiei is giving a lecture about how to torture someone effectively, they looked over to the priest to see what his reaction was. All of their jaws hit the floor when they found him standing there with a notepad and pen taking down notes from the lecture, and all the while they just stood there, gob smacked at how much he knew.

"I thought you said you don't fight without honor," Rias asked in a dumbfounded state of mind, torture had no honor in it, right, she wasn't knowledgeable on the subject of honor, but torture had none, right?

"I don't fight without honor, and I don't torture, but to increase my knowledge base about where to cut if I want to prolong a battle and still give damage to my enemies, or end a battle quickly, I had to learn where to cut. I did this by taking lessons on swordsmanship and torture from my personal surgeon, a S-class demon named Shigure," Hiei informed them as the priest was still writing things down.

"How much do you actually know, because I think I'm more scared of you right now than anything else," Issei commented a little fearfully.

"I could teach a full year's worth of classes as a teacher in the art of torture and swordsmanship as separate classes, equal to about a doctorate in human world terms," he informed as if it was nothing.

Koneko sniffed the air and found a familiar sent, "fallen angels are here," she informed them as a blueish spiraling portal appeared on the ceiling.

"Hahahahahaha, just in the nick of time too, hope you're hungry because light spears are on the menu," the priest said with more confidence as he finished taking notes and got into a battle-ready position.

"Right now, we just need to get Issei out of here, Akeno, prepare to jump, Hiei, make sure we have Issei and don't kill him," Rias ordered, whether she meant that last part as a joke was still lost to said demon though.

Hiei went to the boy and made him fall asleep with a punch to the gut, when they were about to ask why, he answered their question before they could ask, "he would have made a fuss about the nun," and didn't say anything else with Issei on his shoulder.

They shrugged and wordlessly left after that, and landed inside the clubroom without much more words other than Rias saying, "lay Issei in the shower room, I'll get set on healing him."

Hiei just nodded before doing what he was told and actually just through him in and had him land on his head that created a bump comical style, Akeno made a comment, "you don't follow directions well, do you?"

"Hn," was his brief statement before Rias entered the shower and they could hear her starting to undress, Hiei just went to sit on the window sill until it was time for a meeting.

The boy was soon healed and awake if his groaning was any indication, Issei was soon in his boxers and on the couch with Akeno wrapping up his leg, and Rias deciding to take a shower while she was in there, began to shower. "You need to get some rest, at least until you get your full strength back, the light power that stray exorcist used on you was strong, you're lucky we showed up when we did," Rias commented from within the shower.

"Stray exorcist, I'm not even sure I know what that term means," Issei stated confused, maybe Hiei hit him a little too hard.

"A ton of them got the boot from the church and for lack of better options, many became servants of fallen angels," Kiba was the one to inform him of this.

"Wait, you can't actually be saying that Asia's in the same camp as that Freed dick," he questioned with a scowl on his face at the mere mention of the idea.

"We're not saying anything other than you're a devil, and for whatever reason, she's the servant of a fallen one, those are the facts Issei," Rias informed as she stepped out of the shower room with only a towel on.

Issei looked like he might protest again until Hiei spoke up, "get over it, as it stands right now, you and she are enemies, either convince her to become a devil or strengthen your resolve to kill her if needed." Hiei left via the front door after that, Koneko followed with a quick bye to the rest of the peerage so that she could ask Hiei about something.

Koneko's home

When they got home, the apartment was already extended, they now had one more room added on to the small apartment, it was basically the same as any other place, four walls, roof, window, bed, nothing of import. Hiei felt someone grab his arms before he could go explore the room he will be staying in for the foreseeable future. "What is it you are going to do when you get home, you can't just be going to demon world to serve someone, that isn't your style," Koneko asked.

Hiei sighed before making sure nobody was close enough to hear the conversation, "I told you I had a sister, that our lives were inverse, well, that's not all," Hiei actually went ahead and told her all of his past, his goals, how he achieved them, and where they led him. Sometime during the discussion, they each took a seat in the living room, Hiei on an arm chair and Koneko on the couch. By the end of it, she was crying, "in the end, it wasn't the stone I had spent so much time looking for, but as I looked at Yukina I realized it didn't matter. My life's purpose had now been fulfilled by her gift, and I knew that anything else that lay ahead of me would be empty, there was nothing left for me to do but end my journey."

Koneko jolted from the couch and smacked him hard in the face, "you idiot, what's to stop the others from telling your sister who you are if you die, nobody, and then you get to watch beyond the grave as she cries over you. Is that what you want, for your sister to be sad, just because you were too lazy to find a new purpose in life and took the easy way out."

Hiei stared at her in shock at her just smacking him, first that she was able to in the first place, second was that he never thought about that, this girl was as blunt as him, but didn't understand the way of a warrior.

"Don't you say anything about being a warrior without a purpose, I'm going to help you find a purpose in life, not like you have a choice anyways," at his confused look, Koneko continued. "You are now a devil, you are no longer a demon, you have been reincarnated because you died at that water fountain. You already died as a warrior, may have been from a trick but you still died fighting, now focus on something other than death already, like happiness or since you reached demon puberty, women." With her piece said, she opted to go to her room and let him wallow in the information she just brought up, he gave her perspective, now she was going to give him some.

Next day

Koneko decided to get out of bed and head for the kitchen and get something to eat, when she passed by the living room though, Hiei was in there on the window sill staring out the window and seemed to be thinking. She stood there and watched him think for a minute before she went to her original destination, the kitchen and fixed breakfast for herself and her roommate.

She made eggs and toast again, he should really tell her what he liked to eat, either that or start making breakfast as well, they could take turns instead of her being the only one to make anything. She got done with breakfast just as Hiei entered the kitchen to see about food, Koneko set the breakfast in front of him before asking, "do you know how to cook?"

"I know how to hunt, then how to roast it under a hot flame, but I do not now nor will I ever learn how to cook," Hiei replied.

"I'm not always going to be cooking for you, and you need to learn how since you haven't thought about the possibility that you'll never make it home where you can hunt," she stated as she began to eat as well.

"You make a valid point, fine, I'll learn how to cook, if only to keep the need for conversations like these from popping up," he mumbled that last part to himself.

Koneko's phone rang at that moment, she answered it and Hiei waited until she hung up and began to speak, "first we go to the club, Rias wants us there, Issei was with that nun again, I think something's about to go down."

"Fine, maybe I finally get to fight something worth my time," Hiei said before they got ready and left for the club, it shouldn't take too long to deal with Issei's screw up.

ORC club room

There was a loud smack that resounded inside of the room, Hiei and Koneko had just arrived and saw that Rias was standing there with her hand raised and Issei's head turned as if he was just smacked. "Let me try one more time, if I say don't you don't, you have to forget about Asia, you are a member of the Gremory family now," Rias said with her hands on her hips.

"Fine, then maybe it's time you release me from your household, because I refuse to just let her go," Issei stated with the same look Hiei saw the detective have in his eyes many times.

"I'm sorry but I can't do that," of course Rias would refuse, Hiei could see how this would play out, Issei would go to the church regardless, probably get the others involved too.

"Of course not, I'm your most precious pawn, can't do without your most important piece, can you," he replied with heavy sarcasm.

"That's enough Issei, pawns are important, they're not the weakest piece in the game by any means, do you remember when I told you my evil pieces have the same attributes as those of their chess characters. In this chess game a pawn can do quite a bit, if a pawn advances deep enough into an enemy's territory, it can be promoted to any other piece besides the king," Rias informed.

"So, does that mean I can eventually have all the same powers as everyone else," Issei asked for confirmation just as Akeno walked in.

"Yes, but only if the master declares the place enemy territory, say for example, the fallen one's church, but for now, let's talk about your sacred gear," Rias suggested.

"Oh yeah, doubles my power, is that right, Yuma said, I mean, the fallen angel told me," Issei seemed excited at the beginning, then went to sad towards the end.

"Just feel, any sacred gear works in direct correlation with the current feelings of its owner, or to put it another way, the stronger those feelings are, the more powerful your sacred gear will be," Rias informed. Akeno came up stepped behind Rias and whispered something in her ear about something private. "Something has come up, Akeno and I have to step out for a moment, remember, even if you're promoted, no matter the rank, a single devil cannot stand up to a fallen one." With that said, Akeno and Rias teleported away with the obvious implant of information, Hiei guessed that she was counting on them to go to the church.

"I guess we'll have to see about that, won't we," Issei said before he started walking, clearly, he didn't get the meaning of what Rias was saying.

"You going," Kiba asked with a knowing smile, at least Hiei knew that he and Koneko also got the message behind the brat's words.

"Yep, and there's no point trying to stop me, and I can deal with getting killed as long as I can get her out of there," the pervert stated with determination.

"That's very brave, very stupid too, this is suicide," Kiba stated truthfully, Hiei would never understand humans, or former humans at least.

"It's none of your business," Issei started before he heard metal click, Kiba was standing there with his sword in his left hand and right hand on its hilt.

"I'm coming with you, weren't you listening, the president basically said you get in that church and you're promoted, but she also said that you wouldn't be able to do it on your own. So, we're going to back you up, and there's no way in hell we're going to let you go in there without us so you might as well save your breath dude," Kiba stated.

"Koneko and Hiei too," Issei asked as if he wouldn't believe Hiei would do that for him, and he's right he wouldn't.

"There's nothing else going on," Koneko replied before looking to Hiei, there was a challenge in her eyes that Hiei saw, she had a plan in her head regarding him and a purpose.

"I'll go in a different way," Hiei replied before leaving in a burst of speed, he wasn't really going to go in, he was going to see what that thing between Rias and Akeno was actually about, he had a feeling, but he wanted to confirm it.

Rias and Akeno's location

Hiei arrived in time to hear a blonde in pigtails and a gothic maid outfit yell out, "I hate devils, I just want to squish their stupid ugly devil faces, ugh, whatever, let them do their worst, not like they can stop us, there are way more of us than there are of them. So why are you here, I hope it's not for some sort of rescue operation because if so, you'll have to deal with me first, I may be little but I promise you this much, I can pack a mean punch."

"They're on their own, we won't be making any attempt to rescue them," Rias stated before hearing someone approach from behind, it was Hiei with his black clothing on and hands in his pockets.

"So, what, are you just going to watch," the blonde started to say before she saw Hiei approach as well, then she started to drool a little, "who's the hunk," she asked.

"His name is Hiei Jaganshi, he's one of my knights, and I thought he'd be helping with the rescue party," Rias mentioned awkwardly, did this fallen angel just get a crush on one of her servants.

"Wait, he's devil, but devils are supposed to be ugly and he's hot, I don't like to fight hot guys, I prefer to screw them instead, but rescue party or not, I can't let the king go. You're the captain of your loser squad, and if we take you out, they're on a trip to useless town, sorry but I'm bringing friends to this tea party," blonde said before a portal opened in the sky. It opened right in front of Hiei and Behind Rias and Akeno making them turn back to look at who stepped out.

"Good work Mittelt," a woman in a maroon outfit came out, she wore a top that buttoned up, but wore it in a way that showed off much of her cleavage.

"Sad to say we meet again lady Gremory, you should have kept your servant in line," the man that was known as Dohnaseek said as he stood beside the maroon woman.

"He stuck his nose where it doesn't belong again," the woman said and noticed someone else was to their back, making this a three on three situation.

"Well, well, the gang's all here," Akeno commented while looking just ecstatic that she gets to fight and dish out some pain to people.

"It seems very clear to us that your intention here is to obstruct our ritual, and that we can't allow," Dohnaseek said as he began to spread out his wings.

"You'll pay for it with your lives," maroon said as she did the same before they both took off into the air.

"Wait, Dohnaseek, Kalawarner, I call dibs on the cutie with the black and spiky hair," Mittelt called out before rushing Hiei in a burst of speed. His response, dodge her rush to the side and make her smack into a tree, while he saw that Akeno activated a barrier, and him and his offender were outside it. "Don't dodge, I just want to grab you up and give you a kiss," the girl called out before making another dash to grab him up, he didn't know if that meant an actual kiss, or if she wanted something else.

"I prefer not to, if it's all the same to you," Hiei told her as he dodged to the other side before spreading his devil wings and taking flight into the air, to get away. He sent a wave of fire to her and forced her to dodge by flying into her air herself, where Hiei met her with his fist coated in a fire, "fist of the mortal flame." He called out the name of his attack and implanted it into her cheek, this was actually too much power for the fallen angel because it sent her neck turning and doing a one eighty, breaking her neck and killing her. She shot to the ground from the force of the punch as well and created a small crater from the force of the fall, "damn, I need to work on my control still."

He opted to watch the fight as it progressed, the fight the fallen angels put up was pathetic, they didn't stand a chance against the brat's power of destruction. Once she was done, the barrier was undone and Hiei made his way over to Rias and Akeno, "next time, don't assume I would follow your unspoken orders like a puppet, I don't like to be manipulated," he said.

"Fine, that was more for Issei's benefit than yours, you don't need a push to help with a sacred gear, he does," Rias commented as she began to head in the direction of the church. "Akeno, clean this mess up, Hiei, why don't you come help, or you can go back to your apartment, have some time to yourself and all that."

"I think I'll go to the apartment, I need to check on some stuff, and no, you don't need to know what that is," Hiei stated before disappearing faster than possible for a knight.

Church (few minutes later)

Hiei was at the church and listening in to what was going on inside, Asia's death, Issei punching Raynare out the window, Rias and Kiba showing up, Koneko dragging Raynare back in the church. The information about Issei's sacred gear, and then Raynare's attempt to play on Issei's emotions, and then Issei telling Rias to kill her instead of him doing it.

That was when Hiei made his move, he burst through the church doors and just as Raynare turned back to look at him, Hiei called out, "sword of the darkness flame," while a sword of black flames was in his hands. He used it to instantly cut Raynare sixteen times, the same exact spots he killed Seiryu the blue dragon in as well. What was left was a heap of burning flesh and wings on the gowned of the church, Hiei appeared behind the group with a sword made from black fire in his right hand before it vanished into nothing.

"Why did you do that, it's like you don't want me to kill anyone, first Visor and now Raynare, do you have something against me killing someone who hurts my servants in any way," Rias asked in annoyance while folding her arms under her bust.

"Visor was a mercy killing, this was vengeance for her killing me, I try to make sure the score is even before anybody else kills the offender," Hiei stated before vanishing again. This time he actually went to the apartment, he didn't want to be a witness to some stupid emotional moment between the pervert and the nun.

The next day is when Asia had her welcome party, just as Hiei predicted, they got a new member, and this was going to be troublesome with Asia and Rias fighting for Issei's affections. Pretty soon, it could be that Akeno would be fighting for his affections as well, just need to be patient and see on that one. Hiei sensed something strange on a branch just outside the window of the room while Hiei was on the roof, he looked over the edge and saw a bird staring at the party. He sensed a connection is being made to that bird by a different force, he could sense it with his jagan, that bird was a spy sent to spy for one reason or aother.

In a flash of speed, Hiei grabbed the bird and by its throat and returned to the roof, the bird struggled and Hiei saw into the bird's eyes, in a flash of black flames, the bird was ash and he seemed to stare at the ash for a moment. Nothing came from the ash at all, he thought that the bird was a phoenix and therefore would come from the ash like in the legends, obviously it must have just been a very exotic bird.

A/N: Yes, I made a cheap way to make Hiei a devil, the best way for him to remain close to Koneko, and yes, I resolved Hiei's issue with wanting to die a little bit easier than what many would like. Why, the issue with Hiei was resolved lightly and easy as well in the anime, in my belief, this is only a Hiei/Koneko story, not a harem, I do not do harems.
