Yo. Thanks for all the reviews guys. Now to answer questions and comments.

withdranwnmadness000: "Her" Will be revealed later. But I can tell you its not Grayfia. As for the harem size, it'll probably be around 5-8 girls, not too many.

Tsunashi777: Rossweisse huh? Done deal.

tHe Ultimate demon dragon lord: Already had plans for Xenovia to be in his harem, so be assured she will be.

It's been a few weeks since I arrived at Kuou. And it has been... interesting?

Firstly, holy shit these girls here. Every other minute it's a new rumor about me. For example, the second everyone found out I joined the Occult Research Club, everyone assumed there was something going on between me and Rias or Akeno. Rias quickly denied it, thankfully, however Akeno just smiled and said maybe. WHAT THE HELL?! IS SHE TRYING TO GET ME ASSAULTED? Well... she is kinda cute... and...stuff... NO! I'm way to old for her! Plus I'd have her to worry about if it ever got out that I got involved with Akeno. **shiver** Good thing she doesn't know I'm still alive and kicking! HA!

While the whole Akeno x Tansa rumor was going around I managed to get to know the other club members better, they're all pretty cool however Kiba kinda weirds me out. The other day we were walking together to the clubroom since Rias sent him to get me. On the way there IT JUST SO HAPPENS that a couple girls saw us together. AND WHAT HAPPENED?! A NEW rumor... about me and Kiba... Normally I wouldn't care but what made me freak out was what Kiba did afterwards. HE BLUSHED AND DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO DENY IT! These rumors are going to drive me to insanity.

As for the other members, Koneko seems nice, but she doesn't talk much. I did discover that she likes candy and food, evidenced by her stealing my lunch. Not that I need food...

Next is Asia, and my word she's far too innocent for her own good. She seems clueless about pretty much anything sexual and gets really embarrassed whenever its explained to her. Aside from that, she is truly very kind which is a huge plus. She also happens to be a former nun, according to Rias she was basically held hostage by Azazel's idiot subordinates and had her sacred gear extracted. She was then saved by Issei, which didn't surprise me at all, after I've gotten to know Issei a bit more.

Speaking of Issei... that guy is a real character. He is probably the biggest pervert I've ever met. If I was running the Underworld right now I'd probably eject Falbium from his Maou position and replace him with Issei! Only because this kid makes the original Asmodeus look like a gentleman! Not to mention Falbium has probably the lowest sex drive among any being ever, he should be the new Belphegor, not Asmodeus! I don't even care if Issei isn't strong enough to be Maou.

However under that perverted exterior I've found he's very caring underneath, and it seems I'm not the only one who's noticed. Both Asia and Rias seem to be interested in him, if the way they spoil him is any indicator.

But enough of that, time to get back on track. I'm currently on my way to the clubroom with Issei, Asia, and Kiba. I sensed a massive amount of power show up around an hour ago, but it seems these three haven't noticed.

"I wonder what's bothering Buchou? She seems depressed lately, and after what happened last night I'm even more concerned." Issei said. The hell happened last night?

"Buchou's problem? It might have something to do with the Gremory Household." Kiba said

"Maybe Akeno would know?"

"Well, Akeno is her most trusted servant, she obviously would know." Kiba then stops as we get to the door.

"…For me to finally realise the presence here…" He says looking down

"About time you felt it." I said as I open the door.

We walk in. Inside is Koneko, Akeno, Rias and oh dear...

"Ta-chan?" Oh my...

Grayfia is looking right at me, she looks slightly pissed but also... happy? Wait

"Did you just call me by my nickname in public?"

"EEP!" She then let out a cute yelp and covered her mouth. That was rather cute.

"Um... Grayfia... how do you know Tansa-kun?" Rias asked, mouth wide open at the usual very serious Grayfia's reaction to seeing me. Everyone else equally surprised.

"Ah, yes. Yes I do know Tansa-sama, but that isn't the matter at hand right now."

"Way to dodge the question, Grayfia." I said as I walked over to the couch in the corner and sat down. This'll be interesting if Grayfia's here.

"We'll talk later Tansa-sama." Uh oh.

Everyone seems to be on edge, and the tension is really high. Finally, Grayfia breaks the silence.

"Looks like everyone is here. Before we start the club, there's something I need to tell all of you."

"Ojou-sama, do you want me to explain the situation?"

"The truth is—"

A teleportation magic circle glows on the floor behind her. It's the Pheonix symbol too.

"Pheonix." Kiba says, slightly more on edge.

Fire then erupts from the floor and the temperature in the room goes up. The flames appear to be burning Issei, Asia, Koneko and Kiba.

A silhouette of a man then appears in the flames, and with a swing of his arms the flames disappear.

"Fuu, it's been a while since I came to the human's world."

The one standing there is a man wearing a red suit. Since he's wearing his suit casually, he didn't have a tie and his shirt is opened exposing his chest. He looks like he's in his early 20's. He's handsome and seems like a bad boy type, although I make it look a million times better. Have you figured out I'm confident in my looks yet?

The guy looks around the room, and then smirks after finding Rias.

"My lovely Rias. I came to see you."

Issei looks pissed, 10 times more interesting!

Rias is looking at him with her eyes half closed. It doesn't seem like she is welcoming this guy. But the guy doesn't seem to care and approaches her.

"Now then, Rias. Let's go and take a look at the ceremony hall. The date of the ceremony is decided so we need to check it before then."

He then grabs Rias' arm.

"…Let go of me, Raiser." She says with a deep and serious voice. My, my, she is really pissed.

The guy called Raiser doesn't seem to care about having his hand thrown off and is just smirking.

Issei is even more pissed off. Finally, he speaks up.

"Hey, you. You are being rude to Buchou. Actually, what's with that attitude towards a girl?"

"Ah? Who are you?" Ooh, this Raiser guy seems displeased. He's looking down on Issei. He probably shouldn't do that, considering what Issei has inside him.

"I am the servant Devil of Rias Gremory-sama! I'm the [Pawn], Hyoudou Issei."

"God that sounded lame, Issei." I said, now standing and walking towards him.

They all flinch at the mention of God's name. Ah that's right... normal devils can't say God.

"Hmm. Ah, okay." Issei fell on the floor.

"I mean, who the heck are you?"

The guy seems a bit surprised by Issei's question.

"…Oh? Rias, you haven't mentioned me to your servants? I mean, are there guys who don't know me?" Whoa this guy is full of himself.

"I didn't tell them because there was no need."

"Oh my, harsh like always. Hahaha…"

The guy starts laughing. Then Grayfia comes into the discussion.

"Hyoudou Issei-sama."

"Y-Yes."

"This person is Raiser Phoenix-sama. He's a pure-blood High-class Devil, and the third son of the House of Phoenix."

Oh so that's who he is, one of the chicken bastards with the power of fire. Old man Pheonix used to be pretty strong, but that might be because he got his fire directly from us, the Satan clan. Still pretty diluted compared to my hellfire though.

"And he is the husband of the next heiress of the House of Gremory." Issei looks surprised.

"He is engaged to Rias-ojousama."

AHA! No wonder she doesn't like him! And it appears like Issei doesn't like him either. Will there be a fight? Maybe I'll have to intervene.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!" Issei screamed out.

Everyone then sat down on the couches in the center of the room, except Grayfia and I. I'm sitting on Rias' desk with my legs up, why? Because I can, not like they can stop me.

"The tea made by Rias's [Queen] is superb."

"Thank you very much." Akeno says, her voiced laced with thorns although still sounded rather sweet.

They are currently sitting on the couch and this Raiser guy keeps putting his hand on Rias' shoulder. She throws it off but he doesn't seem to care, he even touches her hair and shoulders.

Issei is looks pissed off. But it suddenly changes to a perverted face. What the fuck is this guy thinking about now?

"U-Umm, Ise-san. Did something good happen?" Asia asks, with a worried face.

"…Indecent thinking is prohibited." Koneko says, seems like she's a mind reader.

"Stop it already!"

Rias' angry voice echoes through the room. When I look over, she jumps up from the sofa and glares at the Raiser, as he continues to smirk? I don't like this guy, how dare he inherit my power! Well... my brother's power, but mine by extension!

"Raiser! I told you before! I will not marry you!"

"Yeah, I heard that before. But Rias, that won't do, you know? I think the situation of your household is quite serious."

"That's none of your concern! If I'm the next heiress for the House of Gremory, then I will choose who will become my husband! My father, brother, and everyone in the clan are rushing it! Also it was a promise that I will be free until I graduate from university of the human world!"

"That's right. You will basically be free. You can go to college and you can do whatever you like with your servants. But your Otou-sama and Sirzechs-sama are worried. They are afraid that your household will become extinct. We lost a great number of pure-blood Devils in the last war. Even if the war has ended, our rivalry with the Fallen Angels and God hasn't ended yet. It's not rare for the successors of pure-blood Devil to get killed in the worthless battle against them, which leads to the household becoming extinct. So for a pure-blood Devil that are also happens to be a High-class Devil, getting together would be the obvious solution for the forces of Devils. A pure-blood High-class Devil. Even you know that these children will be important from now on, right?"

She then gets quiet.

"The newly produced Devils—. The ones like your servants, the reincarnated Devils, are expanding in terms of strength but that would make us, the High-class Devils with old history background, lose our place. There are old nobles who gets close to the reincarnated Devils because they are very powerful. Well, that might be alright. The newly produced Devils are also important for our future. But we can't allow the pure-blood Devils to go extinct right? You and I were chosen in order to prevent the pure-bloods from going extinct. My house is safe because I have my older brothers. But there are only two siblings in your house. And your brother is someone who left the house. Then there would only be you, Rias, who can inherit the House of Gremory. If you don't take a husband, the House of Gremory will go extinct in your generation. Are you trying to crush the household that has been continuing for a very long time? Because of the past war, there is not even half the number of Devils who were referred as "72 pillars". This marriage has the future of the Devils on the line."

He brings up a good point. It seems like this Raiser guy might not be as dumb as he appears. He's still pretty dumb though.

"I'm not going to crush my house. And I am willing to take a husband."

Raiser makes a big smile

"Oh, to be expected from Rias! Then let's—"

"But I won't marry you, Raiser. I will marry the one I acknowledge. Even the Devils from the old noble house have the right to choose."

Raiser looks pissed. His eyes become sharper

"Oh, to be expected from Rias! Then let's—"

"…You know, Rias. I'm also a Devil who carries the name of House of Phoenix behind me. I can't let that name get tarnished. I didn't even want to come to a small old building like this in the human world. Rather, I don't like the human world that much. The fire and wind of this world is filthy. For a Devil like me who rules fire and wind, I can't stand it!"

Fire swirls around Raiser. I might have to step in!

"I will take you back to the underworld, even if I have to burn all of your servants."

CHILLS.

I let out my killing intent towards Raiser. Everyone then looks at me with eyes wide open. Raiser doesn't seem to care, but Grayfia looks worried.

"I'm sorry, bad boy-kun, but I can not allow you to do such things while I'm around." I said, as I stand up.

"You? Who do you think you are, adressing me in such ways? I am Raiser Pheonix!"

"Raiser-sama calm down! Choose your next words care—" Grayfia tried to stop him but he ignored her.

"Know your place, low-class trash!"

DOOOONNNNN!

I then let out a small fraction of my true power. The aura is so overwhelming it sends Issei, Akeno, Koneko, Asia, and Rias to the ground.

"What?! Raiser yells out, trembling slightly.

"You dare to call me low-class trash?" I said coldly with a huge amount of hostility in my voice.

"Ta-chan calm down!" Grayfia yells as she runs over to me.

She pulls me into a hug and whispers in my ear.

"Please... calm down Ta-chan."

My aura then disperses and Grayfia releases me from the hug. Everyone looks at her wide-eyed, the Ultimate Queen just hugged someone! She turns and speaks to Raiser sternly.

"Raiser-sama I suggest you do not call Tansa-sama a low-class, as he is not."

"Then what is he?!" Raiser shouts, angry.

"Tansa-sama is a Satan-class devil. If you were to anger him, not even I would be able to stop him from killing you."

Everyone stares at her, shocked. Then they all turn to me, mouths agape and eyes wide open.

"Tansa-kun is... a Satan-class devil?"

"Powerful..."

"What?"

"Ara ara..."

"Tansa-kun..."

"T-T-Tansa...kun... is a... Satan-class?"

The club members all look shocked, and slightly scared.

"Tch, way to blow my cover Grayfia." I said, irritated. They didn't need to know that

Raiser then turns to me and gets down on one knee. Oh?

"Forgive me. I did not know you were a Satan-class devil with the power of Maou." This was unexpected. The club members and Grayfia all look shocked as well. I kinda like this Raiser guy now...

"Get up would ya? Its fine. As for you guys, calm down. You've known me for a good while now, so stop lookin' all scared. Jeez..."

After awhile everyone then calms down a bit, except for Issei and Rias.

Grayfia, again, broke the silence.

"Master, Sirzechs-sama, and those from the House of Phoenix knew it would turn out like this. To tell you the truth this was to be the last discussion meeting. Everyone knew that it wouldn't be solved, so they decided to make a last resort."

"Last resort? What do you mean, Grayfia?"

"Ojou-sama, if you wish to push your opinion forward, then how about you settle it by having a [Rating Game] against Raiser-sama?"

Ah, I see where this is going.

Rias then becomes speechless.

"It's a game that is played by the Devils with peerage, and they compete by making their servants battle." Kiba explains to Issei who looks confused.

"Just as you know, Ojou-sama, only mature aged Devils can participate in official [Rating Game]. But if it's an unofficial match between pure-blood Devils, even immature Devils can participate. However, in this case—"

"When it involves the family and household problems."

Rias continues to talk while making a sigh.

"In other words Otou-sama and the others decided to have a game as a last resort if I was to decline, right? …Just how far are they intending to interfere with my life!

"Then Ojou-sama, you are saying you would also decline to participate in the game?"

"No, I won't, since this is a chance. Alright then. Let's settle this with a game, Raiser."

He smirks.

"Hee, so you're accepting it. I don't mind. But I'm already a matured Devil and I have already participated in the official game. Right now I have won most of the games. Even so, you still want to play, Rias?"

She makes a fearless smile.

"I will. I will blow you away, Raiser!"

"Fine. If you win, do whatever you like. But if I win, you will marry me immediately."

They then glare at each other.

"Understood. I, Grayfia, have confirmed both sides opinion. I will be in charge of the game between the two household. Is that okay?"

"Yes."

"Yeah."

They both agree.

"Understood. I will inform the two households then." She bows.

Riaser then turns to issei and smirks.

"Hey, Rias. Would the ones here be your servants?"

Rias twitches her eyes at his words.

"So what?"

Raiser starts laughing after Buchou answers him as if he finds it amusing.

"Then this match will be a laugh. Only your [Queen], the "Priestess of Thunder" can fight on par with my adorable servants."

He clicks his fingers and 15 circles glow on the floor.

"Well, these are my cute servants."

15 girls are surrounding Raiser. A full group huh? They're all girls too, they must have been forced into being his servants. He doesn't seem like the type most girls would be hanging around with.

Issei then stares at him with stars in his eyes. Ah right... he wants to be "Harem King" and have is own "Babe Army", not a bad dream considering he is a devil. But he's too open about it.

"H-Hey, Rias… This servant-kun over here is crying a lot while looking at me."

"This boy's dream is to have a harem. I think he was moved after looking at your servants."

"Gross~."

"Raiser-sama, this person is freaking me out~."

"Don't say that, my cute girls. Looking up to upper stream folks is what a lowly ones does. Let's show them how passionate we are."

Raiser then starts tongue kissing one of the girls. She doesn't seem to be enjoying it...

He breaks away and then looks at Issei.

"You will never be able to do this."

Issei, ticked, then summons his Boosted Gear.

"A womaniser like you isn't good enough to be with Buchou!"

"Huh? Weren't you looking up to the so-called womaniser?"

"S-Shut up! That's different with the thing about Buchou! At this rate, you will continue to flirt with other girls even after you marry Buchou!"

"Heroes love women. That's a saying in the human world, right? A good phrase indeed. But this is just a close relationship with my servants. Aren't you also getting adored by Rias?"

"Hero my ass! You are just a bird guy! Fire bird Phoenix? Hahaha! That's the same as Yakitori!"

"Yakitori!? Y-You Low-class Deeeeevil! Don't get ahead of yourself! That's not the way you talk to a High-class Devil! Rias, what's going on with your discipline towards your servants!?"

Rias looks away and says "Like I care."

"Hey Yakitori-guy! I will just beat the crap out of you with my Boosted Gear!"

Issei then makes a fighting stance.

"Mira. Do it."

She takes out a stick that martial artists use and makes a battle stance after swinging her stick around. She then dashes towards Issei's stomach.

Shit! He's not moving! He can't see her move! I gotta do something!

I then disappear from everyone's sight and grab her pole. With a flick of my rist her stick shatters.

"Sorry, Raiser-boy. But I can't have people getting assaulted left and right. As for you, girl, sorry about your stick. I'll get you a new one, don't worry." I then smile at her and she blushes. She then goes back to the rest of his members.

"I understand, Tansa-sama." Raiser says, and his group looks at him shocked.

"Don't look at me like that! He's a Satan-class devil." He says and they all turn to me, even more shocked. Even the girl with drill-hair looks at me shocked, judging by her aura she's a Pheonix too. Must be his sister.

"Well, as it is, your servants won't stand a chance. Rias, how about we have a match in 10 days? We could do it now, but that wouldn't be interesting."

"…Are you giving me a handicap."

"Are you against it? Is it humiliating? [Rating Game] isn't something simple that you can win with only your feelings. If you can't use your servant's power to the fullest, then you will lose immediately. So it's not weird for you to train with your servants for your first [Rating Game]. I have seen Devils who lost without using their power to the fullest countless of times, no matter how great their potential and power was."

"Do not worry yourself, birdboy. I'll train them myself." I said, and they all turned to me.

"""""Really?!""""" They all shouted.

"Indeed."

"So you're going to train them? Well, if it's you who's a Satan-class then they will certainly improve."

He then turns to the club members.

"Don't be a disgrace to Rias, Rias' servants."

He then disappears into a magic-circle with his servants.

"My, my, that certainly was interesting." I said outloud.

"Tansa-kun, are you really going to train us?!" Rias said, excited.

"I may as well, as it stands none of you will be able to lay a finger on Raiser's group, let alone himself."

They all nod in understanding.

"Because of this, I will certainly help you. Not to mention its part of my job." I mumbled the last part so no one could hear.

Rias then jumps and hugs me.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Tansa-kun! My family has a mansion in the mountains, so for the next 10 days we can train there.

"Yeah, yeah, just get off me. Now you lot go get ready, I will not go easy on you."

"""""Yes!""""" They all shout and they disappear, leaving me alone in the club room.

I turn around and notice... Grayfia?

"Grayfia? What are you still doing here?"

She then walks up to me and slaps me.

"Baka! Where have you been?!" She shouts, she sounds sad.

"What do you mean?"

"You know exactly what I mean! One day you just disappear and are never heard from again! Do you have any idea how much I've missed you?!" She screams as she tears up.

"I'm sorry..." I said, low.

"What was that?"

"I said I'm sorry, Grayfia! I'm sorry I just disappeared, but I had to you know? My brother died, and I'm not exactly a good leader. It was time for new faces to emerge." I said, sadness in my voice.

"I understand that, but it still made me sad." She said.

"But hey, I'm here now you know?" She then looks up at me and smiles. Suddenly she leans in and... she kisses me?! She kisses me on the lips, what?!

"Mmmfff!" I struggle but she keeps kissing me.

Finally I let her win and she sticks her tongue in my mouth, exploring the inside. I then return the kiss. We kissed for a minute until the need to breathe took over.

"Grayfia... are you sure that was okay? Aren't you Sirzechs wife?!" I said, panicking slightly.

"No."

"Huh?" Was my intelligent response.

"Unlike many believe, Sirzechs and I aren't in a relationship anymore. While it's true that we liked each other during the Civil War, we ended up seperating sometime after. He found a new girl that he fell in love with. Also, Millicas isn't mine either, it's his baby with his new wife. They just haven't made it public as she isn't a high-class devil yet."

"A-ah... I see... I didn't know that."

"So now we can be like we used to... right?" She asks, looking up at my eyes.

I smile and give her a hug.

"Sure."

"By the way, Ta-chan... why did you say you'll help Rias with her problem?"

"Well, the only reason I'm here at all is because Sirzechs blackmailed me into watching over his sister, under threat of telling her that I'm still around. I'm starting to think this might be what he meant."

She then puts on a serious expression.

"That man... always leaving work to go do ridiculous things. I'll have to punish him later." I think I just sold out Sirzechs, sorry kiddo.

"Anyway, I can also see a huge potential from these kids. I can't quite figure it out yet, but they all seem very strong. Issei in particular, being the Sekiryuutei. I think I'll train them to become stronger, plus I don't like seeing Rias so upset. That Raiser guy rubs me the wrong way."

"I think I understand, Ta-chan. But please, don't do anything to rash okay? I heard stories from the Maou about your... teaching... Just don't be too hard on them okay?"

"Haha, so they told you about that? Well, the only reason they got strong is because of my training!" I said, laughing.

"Tansa..." She said threateningly.

"Okay okay okay okay... I won't be too hard on them."

"Good." She said and kissed me before teleporting away to relay the news about the Rating Game plans.

"Don't be too hard on them? HA! We'll see!" I shouted outloud, once I was sure I was alone.

Bang. Hope you guys enjoyed, training montage next chapter followed by the rating game. Still debating what to do in the rating game, leaning more towards they lose the game and Tansa does some crazy shit with Issei.

Again with the harem, Issei will still have Rias. I don't like pairing Rias with people other than Issei (Or Issei Replacements)

Review and Comment, Thanks guys.
