She strolled around the desk and stood still front of me, unhappiness clear on her face. Racking my mind for a better answer, her voice cut clear through the air.

"Is that it? 'I don't know.'" She mimicked with a raised eyebrow.

"What do you want me to say? I had this talk with Akeno." Anxiously, I ran a hand through my hair. "I don't know what to say Rias." She was tapping her foot impatiently still, awaiting an answer. "Okay, let's just sit down on the sofa first. Get, uh, comfortable." I excused.

Rias listened and plopped onto the sofa, trying to remain as clam as she could. "So do you have an answer?" She urged knowingly.

The tension getting to me, I rocked my leg rapidly. "To protect you." I blurted out, giving up on an answer.

Rias turned and focused on me, blinking obviously. "And how would you protect me Percy, from not telling me that I'm not even in real love?" Her voice wavered a few times but she was self-assured.

"B-because.. umm… so th-" However, my bad excuse was shot down with haste and I prepared myself for Rias' lecture.

"You know," She started by gazing at the darkening sky outside. The stars were out, shining brightly in the pollution and serenity was outside. "I thought you would tell me so I waited. But you didn't. I'm committed in a fake relationship as much as I hate to say it; and you didn't tell me?" Her breathing was increasing a bit. "I didn't expect Issei to because he's naïve, and no offence to him, pretty stupid and wants to be a harem king. But you… you should've told me? I can't live my life on a lie." Her voice sounded almost pleading like it wasn't true but it was.

I was just ashamed that I had messed up so bad. First Akeno hears and then Rias heard our conversation. How could I let it slip so easily, just, like, that? Trying to stay still, I thought on what Rias' mind was buzzing with. I placed my hands up in a surrender gesture, and shut my eyes and spoke without stuttering. "Look Rias; I want you to know I'm sorry but this relationship, this happiness, it was cherishable and going to last forever. You and Issei along with the others were in elation when together and I couldn't rip it apart like that, I've seen what happens when you do." I exhaled sharply. "It wasn't my place to interfere in such peace between you guys, it would just be… wrong."

"But you have to tell me the truth, even if it hurts. Isn't that what you told me years ago?" Rias reminded me.

It was true. I only say to other people to tell the truth so I lie about the real situation sometimes, so people rely on me and I hide the truth that their comrades. If I told the truth, people would know but hiding the truth is better, so only I'm given the burden. My fatal flaw was always corrosive. "Yes, I did. I would've told you eventually, not now." I assured her.

"But I've found out. What's the point, Percy?" She wave Cher hands exasperatedly. "Now, Issei and I don't love each other along with Akeno."

"I didn't say it was fake love, but it may have been." Shrugging, I tried to be positive. "Some of their love may be real. Such as Asia's or Xenovia's, there's may be real."

"And how do I found out?" Rias inquired with a raised eyebrow.

"You don't. If it feels like a hole has been cut through you hurt when you heard this news, then yes, it is unfortunately fake but if you resolve and still want to love Issei then you do." Deciding to put it simply.

"But… doesn't that mean my love for him is fake?" Her mind was on overdrive since swear started to form on her forehead. "I didn't choose to love Issei again, I stuffed myself into s-sadness…" Her voice cracked at the end of her sentence.

Awkwardly, I didn't know what to do. Opting stop bent afraid, I pulled Rias into a delicate yet smooth embrace, wrapping around her warmly. Slowly her arms found my back and stayed there for a second before she started crying.

Her face lay in the crook of my neck while her fresh tears came out relentlessly along with her muffled sobs. I patted her softly, rubbing circles across her back to. Lowering my mouth to her ear, I whispered peaceful and encouraging words: 'It's alright, Rias', 'let it all out,', 'you'll find love again'. I felt true empathy for the girl who was letting out quiet wails to the world.

Gradually, her voice came to a halt exiting her cries to sit snores. She fell asleep? I guess she was pretty tired. Helpfully, I tried to make sure she was actually lights out and lifted her chin up. Her eyes were closed, her snores evenly coming out of her mouth in light breaths and trails of tears across her face. Using my thumb, I wiped the liquid away which ruined her beauty.

Somehow, I got myself stuck. Rias was pushing against me to the sofa, and in my awkward position, I couldn't lift her up nor get up myself without hurting her or awakening her. Groaning about sleeping with another girl again, I tried to make myself as comfortable as possible. Everyone else was so worn out and I was so caught up on them, I forgot my own drowsiness.

Sighing softly, I tried to not be rude and made Rias set in the most not inappropriate spot although she had to go lights out on me. I was lying down, her body mainly on mind and arms still around me, restricting me from doing much.

I relished the warmth anyway, and made myself relaxed. Smiling in bliss, I shut my eyes. One last time, I peeked at the serene and innocent face of the redhead on me.

So much shit is gonna' happen in the morning.

[Linebreak]

Groggily, I opened my eyes, shutting them immediately from the vivid light searing my eyes. Recalling memories, I reminded myself I was asleep on Issei's couch… with Rias on me. Staying still, I heard her shuffle, her breasts squashing against me and her faint breathing giving me tranquility.

Abruptly, a harsh cough caught my attention to the side. I almost toppled over, though luckily I caught the edge of the solid glass table, not awakening Rias. Looking up, I glared lightly at Issei who flinched just a bit and then resumed his narrowed eyes at me.

"What are you doing?" He asked me suspiciously. What? I was sleeping with Rias until it dawned on me. It probably looked different from his perspective.

I promptly waved my left hand to him wildly. "No, it isn't like that Issei!" I whisper-yelled. He raised an eyebrow and pressed his lips tightly.

"So what is it then?" He reiterated a bit violently. I understood though, me sleeping with his girlfriend, so it probably looked… unacceptable.

"Uh…" I dumbly replied with. "We had a conversation yesterday, and Rias fell asleep on me and well.. as you can see…" I gestured to myself restricted. "...I can't move nor pick her up."

"Uh huh." Issei said unconvinced. "She is part of my harem. She is the most beautiful girl here with best titties here and you're taking her away from me." He made a circle motion, imagining Rias' chest.

All I did was facepalm, sweat dropping at his possible yet extremely perverted attitude. Not wanting to offend him, I attempted to placate him. "Look Issei, I know Rias is…" I inspected said person to see if she was still asleep. "...attractive and gorgeous in beauty and boobs." He humphed at me. "But I'm not stealing her from you. She is all yours. I'm serious, she just fell asleep on me."

Narrowing his eyes further, he analysed me and finally relented. "Alright, you're telling the truth. But you better not." He moved forward, an intimidating (not) finger in the air.

"Yeah, yeah, Issei. I won't." I told him. "Just go and get ready for this torture called school. Wake up the others because…" Glancing at the time on my phone, I reeled back. "...26 minutes till the beginning of school!"

I prayed to Chaos above that Rias would awaken soon or I would be late for school. As much as I didn't want to, I couldn't visit my mom since I would be out with friends. My mom is in care anyway with Paul now so they can keep each other company.

Shrugging it off, I realised Rias, the devil she is, had been staring at me while I stared off into space. She smirked. "You done daydreaming?" I nodded wearily. "And you better not tell the others what happened last night about my…. breakdown. It'll worry them." She advised me but mostly ordered it.

"Alright, I wasn't going to tell them anyway for your privacy." I said back.

She was about to get up when a bulb lit up on her head. "Wait," Her smirk turned sly. "did I hear someone agree with Issei that I AM beautiful?" I gaped at her. "Did you really think I was sleeping, I slept first so I would awake first."

I shut my mouth and became red in the face when she reminded me of what I said. "No." I said quickly.

Then she frowned at me. "So you don't think I'm gorgeous?" Rias looked at me with hurt eyes.

"N-no! That's not what I meant. It's just that I d-don't want to admit you look amazing." I stuttered out when her face cracked into a smile - she played me!

She started laughing, her laughter music to my ears but I just pouted at her although it had no effect. I whined miserably at her, when she finally stopped laughing. "Why'd you do that?" I asked her, while she got up.

"I was bored?" She offered with a shrug. "I'm not sure, I decided to see your opinion of me, I guess…" Straightening herself into the wait, she let her hair free from her shoulder cape and tidied up her outfit.

I hummed in reply. "Well it was a dick move." I replied.

"How big?" Akeno interrupted our conversation out of nowhere. She had her hair up in a ponytail in her perfect school uniform, along with an ear splitting smile.

I groaned at her rude joke. "Seriously Akeno? Didn't we agree on no jokes in the morning?"

She looked at me startled. "You were serious about that?"

I scowled at her jokingly. "Yeah, I was alright."

I looked around and heard several noises of the rest of the house waking up. The dazzling light bathed the vast room in an amber colour, signifying sunrise. I yawned widely, unable to bother lifting my hand to stop my rudeness.

Rias intercepted the chat. "We need to be getting to school or we will be late." She scolded the two of us, while walking to Issei's room to check up on the rest. I saw her hesitate on the way but she carried on going. Bringing up her fist, she was about to knock, but then dropped her hand and began to move away until someone opened the door. I couldn't hear their voices but I recognised it was Koneko from the chest-length white hair and cat hair clip.

I turned back to Akeno who just came back from Rossweisse's room and we stood together next to the room door. "Let's head to school, it'll be a while before they arrive." Stretching my shoulders, I suggested.

Looking around, she smiled and squealed. "Yeah, alright." I opened the door, twisting the metal handle and mock bowed.

"After you mi'lady." I waved to the entrance.

Gleefully, she yelled a 'thanks' and skipped through. How was Akeno always smiling yet could be sadistic when needed? It didn't make sense to my brain. Massaging my temples, I decided to be optimistic for once and jogged after her fast movements.

I finally located her just outside the front door, about to sprint off until I stopped her. "Slow down Akeno! The car isn't going anywhere." I shouted loudly. I took a second to gaze around at the sunrise but due to my luck, it had passed and the sun was making its way into the cloudy, light blue sky. On the grass we're different varieties of flowers like Roses and Violets with birds and creatures scuttering about. It brought a sense of peace when I was near nature which only increased when Artemis had blessed me. Although her ability to communicate with animals had a switch which I was eternally grateful for.

Akeno snapped her fingers in front of my face. "You weren't fantasising about anyone, right?"

I recoiled and became tinged with a bit of red and a loud, "No!" I realised I was pretty noisy and said quoted. "No, I was just… taking in the tranquility of nature, I guess. It's just so comforting, something I could sit in for a while and just forget about all of my concerns."

I guess my eyes were steamy since Akeno chuckled at my answer. Shaking it off, I went to her side and we made our way to my vehicle on the opposite side of the road. The Lamborghini looked as good and polished as it did when I first used it. The only reason it didn't have roof was because of the thrill you get with air rushing last you and how you feel free.

We arrived at the car's doors and I cast a quick glance at my home, looking at how inviting it looked until I remembered it was school. My hope of having a sleep in day was crushed.

Akeno pursed her lips, scrutinising the car and huffed dramatically. I raised an eyebrow at her, my hand hovering over the door handle. "What now Akeno? It better be-" I began before she interjected.

"I was just inspecting your car and as sexy as it looks, it just doesn't…" She tapped her chin to find the word. "...suit me. But whatever." Reluctantly, she moved forward and was about to open the door before I locked the car to stop her. Confused, she looked up at me. "What are you doing?"

I smirked at her. "What would you want then?" I asked her calmly.

She was trying to see what I was doing but I would do would blow her mind to bits. Crossing her arms, she replied unsurely. "Some sort of fast motorbike so I can feel the feeling of the fresh air and freedom." Her thinking was similar to mine but it was more extreme, what I kind of expected from Akeno.

"Hmm…" I tried to think of an excellent motorcycle off the top of my head, searching for anything Leo could've mentioned until I snapped my fingers in remembrance. "Alright, I got it." I told her with a smile on my face.

I chanted the name of the bike in my head over and over, several times so it would stick. Keeping a steady hand on the car keys, I moved back and so did Akeno instinctively. After a few seconds, I pressed the button installed onto it which would alter the vehicle and it vanished in an extended flash of light where I clearly demanded in my mind:

'Carbon Black Triumph Sprint ST ABS.' I pictured it without it a luggage box since I despised them on motorcycles since they ruined the whole sport look of them. When the light subsided, I moved forward to the very bike and placed my hand on the pristine condition bike. I moved my hand over this surface and it felt smooth, incredible to me.

Akeno was on the side, looking in disbelief at the bike I just conjured up. "What?" She shrieked. "How did you make that car become this bike?"

I held up the car keys visibly. "Godly car keys from my cousin Hermes, an Olympian God. Handed it to me after my second war for… helping his son and protecting his family." I worded without letting slip too much information.

"And I'm going to guess I can't get one of those?" She wondered.

I shook my head. "Nope. Hop on, we'll go to Kuoh Academy on the bike instead." Picking up the two simple black helmets on the bike itself, I passed one to Akeno and wore the other myself. I may be reckless, but I wasn't willing to drive without a helmet with Akeno since she would hinder my skill because of her weight - I wasn't calling her fat.

It didn't feel to different from the last time I had rid one in New York. On the pleasant seat, I positioned myself so I had no problems. Akeno soon came after, plopping behind me with her legs behind mine. She wrapped her arms around my torso for grip and shuffled towards to my back.

Suddenly, she moved away and pulled my helmet off and her own and threw them into a nearby bush. I blinked at her strangely. Why did she do that?

As if reading my mind, she explained herself. "I wanted to ride a bike so I could feel the wind, not cover it up with a bulky helmet." I opened my mouth but she hurriedly finished her sentence. "And I know you only wore it so I would and it would be safer for me." She hit the nail on the head and I sheepishly gave a small smile.

Resuming her position behind my back, she snaked her arms around my stomach once again. For some odd reason, they were cozily warm and smooth. I kickstarted the engine when we were both set, and set it into first gear after holding the clutch.

Once ready, I drove off the driveway, my hand clutching the accelerator and brake however all I did was go faster to full throttle. Changing gears and driving insanely fast, the world went by in a flash. I smiled in content when I heard Akeno's joyous laughter fill the surrounding air.

I revved the engine even further and zoomed faster. I twisted and turned gracefully between the incoming traffic without fault, probably my demigod senses in play. Shutting my eyes temporarily in pleasure, I weaved through several life intersections before arriving at the school.

With the bike slowing down, it alerted Akeno of our arrival here. I felt her move about, her head looking at the academy in sight. Trying to find a space, I finally located a place to park my motorbike while I parked perfectly there. Akeno got herself off the bike l, untangling her arms and I followed after. Knowing my godly bike couldn't be stolen, I grabbed the keys and stuffed them into one of my pockets.

"You know you aren't in your uniform, riiiight?" Akeno strapped me, extending her 'i'.

I looked down and there I was, in my outfit for the weekend and I groaned at how I forgot to changed. While we strolled to the school gates, I looked around and only saw a minuscule amount of people around us. Concentration on the mist, I altered it so people wouldn't gaze here nor see me; once done, I snapped my fingers, imaging myself in the dreadful uniform.

With a dim light, my clothes reformed into the blazer, bow tie and other clothes pieces. I grinned at this useful power from Aphrodite, she may be irritating with her sexual advances but this power, I was grateful for.

I saw Akeno looking at me in awe. I answered her unspoken question, "Power from Aphrodite, let's me alter my clothes whenever."

"How is this fair?" She childishly pouted her lips. "You have all these amazing powers and I only get lightning." She moaned at me.

"Well you do control lightning and the skies, along with some sort of magic so it's not that bad." I cheered her up with her own skills.

"I guess. I wonder where Rias is, she and the others probably teleported here because school is about to start." Fixing her bow tie, she wondered.

All I did was hum in reply, not thinking too much about it. All I wanted was to lay back, and have a long rest. Once we reached our room, I opened the door and noticed the professor looking at me pointedly.

"Why are you late, Mr. Jackson?" He barked annoyed.

"I woke up late." I sheepishly replied. I had no other excuses.

Arrogantly, he humphed and waved me towards a seat. "Just go and sit in your usual seat so we may start."

Not wanting to aggravate him anymore, I walked to my seat and sat into it, while Akeno wasn't seen as the teacher turned around. I sighed and leant on my hand, my boredom of this day would eat at me.

[End of the chapter]

A/N: What's up people? Been awhile huh? I don't have any excuses or reasons except that I've got tests coming up and well, I've been busy with other things but mainly a lazy shit. I'm sorry but not much I can do about my fucked update schedule anymore. Sometimes I want to write and sometimes my PS4 looks more enticing so yeah, whatever.

I've read your reviews and I'm grateful for what y'all saying and to make his clear again, PERCY ISN'T GOING TO BECOME A DEVIL. Anyway, thanks for your support and hope you enjoyed this chapter.

To those who read my PJO/Pokémon crossover, something happened with my document so I haven't got that ready and I really can't be arsed to think of it all again.

By the way, I have a PJO/Borderlands (TFTBL) crossover which I wrote in some quiet time and I'd appreciate it if any of you could hop over there and drop a review to see if it is worth continuing. The game was amazing on a whole other level and I wanted to create a piece of fanfiction out of it.

Again, review, favourite and whatever this story so I can gradually improve it and fix whatever is needed.

Peace out.
