Yo.
Thanks for all the reviews, PM's and comments guys. Appreciate it.
This is just a filler before the Excalibur arc. Mostly just familiar forest shit (I hope you like what I did with Tansa's familiar) as well as the confrontation with Katerea.
Enjoy.
"KYYAAHHHH!"
I scream as I try to run away.
Standing in my room, looking extremely pissed, is a tall woman, with long brown hair and tan skin. Framing her beautiful purple eyes is a pair of glasses, and light-red lipstick on her lips.. She's also wearing a low-cut dress showing off a large portion of her best. She is none other than... Katerea Leviathan... the daughter of Leviathan. (A/N:I made her daughter instead of descendant in this fic)
"Gah!"
Grayfia grabs my shirt and yanks me back into the room before I can run away.
"Trying to run away are we, Tansa?!" Katerea yelled as Grayfia pulled me back.
"Tansa... why is Katerea Leviathan in your house?" Grayfia looks at me
"And why does she seem so angry?"
"You don't need to know! Let me gooooo!" I plead with Grayfia and attempt to run away again.
"I don't need to know?!" Grayfia questioned me with a raised voice.
Now they're both mad at me!
"I am your girlfriend, need I remind you. I have a right to know why another female is angry at you."
Now she's done it...
"GIRLFRIEND?!" Katerea bellowed out, for the entire world to hear. She brought her hands up and started firing demonic bullets at me.
"LOOK WHAT YOU DID GRAYFIA! AHHH!"
I continue to scream as I bounce around the room, dodging demonic bullets.
Katerea keeps firing demonic bullets at me, looking livid. Did I really mean this much to her?!
The bullets are hitting everything, the desk, the bed, the lamp, and... NOO! NOT THAT!
"NOOOO! MY COLLECTION!" I scream as a box with a label reading "Do Not Open" is destroyed.
My magazines... sob...
"Enough of this!" Grayfia shouts as I weep for my loss.
(Freeze)
She freezes all the bullets... and myself. WHY ME?!
"Why'd you freeze me?!"
"You don't need to know why."
...Damn her...
"Now, I'll ask again. What is Katerea Leviathan doing in your room?"
"I should ask you the same thing, Lucifuge! Why are you with my Tansa?!" She shouts at Grayfia
"Your Tansa?"
"Yes, my Tansa!"
They glare at each other dangerously.
"H-h-hey... lets calm down... yeah?" I ask hesitantly.
""QUIET!"" They both turn and scream at me
They then turn back to each other and begin bickering. Something about who I belong to and why.
After about 2 minutes of screaming at each other, I feel like my ears are going to bleed...
I can't take this anymore...
I take in a huge breath of air
"CALM THE FUCK DOWN!"
They both stop yelling immediately. Looking at their positions, it looks like they were about to claw each others eye's out...
"Ah... silence..." I exhale deeply, enjoying the quiet.
They both back away from each other, still glaring.
"Hey! I said calm down! Now, allow me to explain."
They both then turn their attention to me.
"As you know, Grayfia, this is Katerea Leviathan daughter of Leviathan. And Katerea, this is Grayfia, head of the Lucifuge clan."
They both look at each other again.
"Hi."
"Hi."
They both say hello to each other. WHAT THE FUCK?! They were just about to kill each other!
"Hi? That's all you have to say to each other? Meh, nevermind. Its better than a screaming match. Anyway... to answer your question Grayfia, Katerea is... or was... how do I say this... erm... my former girlfriend..."
"Huh?" Was her intelligent response.
"And Katerea, Grayfia is my... current girlfriend... don't hurt me!"
I try to bring my hands up to shield my face, but I'm still frozen...
"So your former girlfriend... is Leviathan's daughter?"
"...Yeaahhhh..."
"What do you mean former? I'm his girlfriend now too! He can't leave me!" Katerea pipes in.
"The hell you talking about?! I can leave you whenever I want!" I protest
"No, you cannot!"
"Sure I can! I already did!" I argue
"That was because you disappeared! But now that I've found you, you're mine again."
"Wait... how exactly did you find me?"
"Imbecile! The whole Underworld knows you've returned ever since the rating game between Rias Gremory and Raiser Phoenix! You know, the one where you let a reincarnated human use your power!"
"..."
"Don't tell me you never thought about that..." She looks at me in disbelief
"Heh.. heh..." I laugh weakly
"Unbelievable... you didn't even consider that letting him use your power would let everyone know you're still around..." Grayfia says, facepalming.
"Wow..."
"Wait, based on what you said they only know that I exist still! So how did you manage to find me?!"
"Simple. I just went to the city where Rias Gremory was currently residing, and had a look around. I concluded that since you helped her servant, you must be somewhere nearby her and her servants. After looking for a short while, I found you! Quite easily too, you didn't even try to change your appearance after all this time."
"Stalker."
"I'm not a stalker!" She shouts
"Technically you are... you did hunt me down and show up in my house..."
"That's not stalking! I was simply looking for my long-lost boyfriend, and now I found you. However, I found you with another woman..."
While Katerea is muttering something about other women possibly existing and something about exterminating them, Grayfia comes over to me and unfreezes me.
"Ah, thank you... it was rather cold..." I thank her
"Don't give me that. You have ice magic too, it shouldn't even faze you..."
"How do you know that? Maybe I was just freezing to death! What would you have done if I died of hypothermia, huh!?" .
"Anyway..." She sweat drops at my antics.
"What are you going to do about her? You're not going to leave me for your old girlfriend... are you?" She asks, looking sad.
"Why would I do that?"
"Well... she is the daughter of Leviathan, a Maou... and I'm just a Lucifuge and a servant of Lucifer."
She looks down at the ground, fearful that I may leave her.
I cup her cheek, and bring her eyes up to mine. I stare deeply into them, sadness very apparent in her eyes.
"Listen. You are my Grayfia, and you always will be."
"But there's no way she'll give up just like that..."
"I know that. But that doesn't mean we can't still be together right? Like I said, you'll always be my Grayifa, okay?"
She pulled me forward.
Our lips collided together.
It wasn't a lustful kiss, rather one filled with love. There was no tongue, just a love-filled kiss in the lips.
After a few seconds she pulled away.
"Just don't forget that I'm number one, alright?" She asks.
"Always. Now let me talk to her privately, alright? She might get even more angry than she already is." I motion towards Katerea, who is currently mumbling something about killing my so-called "female suitors". I hope she never finds any of the other girls I've been with in the human world...
"Ufufu." Grayfia giggles.
She then leaves through the door. As the door shuts with a click, Katerea is brought out of her musings.
"So..." I start
Almost immediately she tackles me to the ground.
"Mmphfff!"
She initiated a passionate kiss.
Doing the logical thing any man would do...
I just sat there and enjoyed the experience. We opened our mouths and our tongues danced passionately.
After around thirty seconds she pulled away, a string a saliva connecting our lips still.
"Um..." I look at her rather confused
Tears appear in her eyes. Oh god dammit she's crying!
"Tansa..." She says softly as she stares at me, her tears falling onto my face.
"Could you... um... get up, Katerea? This is rather uncomfortable..."
"No!" She screams and buries her face into my chest. She wraps her arms around me and squeezes me, as if trying to prevent me from leaving.
"I'm never letting go of you again!" She shouts into my chest.
Not knowing what to do, I do the logical thing and hug her, hopeful that this might relieve her.
"Shh, stop crying. I'm not going anywhere, so let's get off the ground yeah?" I ask gently.
She brings her head from out of my chest, and looks up at me.
Nodding, she stands up, and so do I.
While I'm dusting myself off-
"Why?" She asks.
"Hmm?"
"Why didn't you want to see me? Why?! I loved you! I loved you with all my heart, and one day you just up and leave me alone! You never even tried to contact me! Why?!" She screams emotionally.
She brings her hands up to her face and throws her glasses off. She plants her head into her palms and begins to cry.
Not knowing what else to do, I walk up to her.
I put my arms around her waist and bring her into a hug.
"Don't cry." I whisper gently into her ear.
She puts her arms around me and hugs me closer. We stay like this for a few minutes as she calms down.
"You know... I didn't want to leave you alone. Neither did I want to leave Grayfia... I didn't want to leave the Underworld at all. But I had to..."
"Do you know what my brother's dying wish was? For me to lead the Underworld as he did..." I recall the last words my brother spoke to me before he died at the hands of our "father".
"But I couldn't... I just couldn't..."
I looked into her beautiful purple eyes, and she looked into my blood-red eyes. Filled with sadness, grief, and regret.
"It isn't that I didn't want to lead the Underworld, but rather I couldn't. I'm not a leader. The truth is, I'm more of a fool than anything else. I thought what I was doing was for the best. But who knows, truly, what is best? It is because of me that our people, who were already battered from the war, had to put up with a civil war, which only threw the Underworld into further turmoil. It is because of me that you... Grayfia... the entire Underworld had to suffer."
I pause for a few seconds, self-loathing.
"Heh, its funny really, they used to call me Demon King just like my brother, but some King I am. My "leadership" threw you guys into a civil war... how pathetic."
"Tansa..." She continued to stare into my eyes.
"I... I had no idea how you felt... I never even considered why you left... I only cared about myself and how I could get you back. But you know what? None of that matters now, does it?" She questioned me.
"Heh. I guess you're right. That's all done and over with... though it doesn't make me feel better. I'm the reason so many have died pointlessly..."
(Slap)
Katerea slaps me across the face. Not too hard, but hard enough to make a statement.
"Stop. You are here now, aren't you? So stop thinking about that. Your failures in the past are in the past. Now is now. So please, stop thinking like that. You don't look good with a sad face."
"Oh? And who was the one crying her eyes out earlier?" I immediately go back to teasing.
"That's... eh..."
"Hahaha! You don't look too good with a sad face either, my beautiful Katey-chan."
"You... you called me Katey again..." She looks really happy. Tears pooling in her eyes again.
I pull her closer to me.
"No more crying."
I kissed her again, passionately. Our tongues swirling around each other.
We kissed for nearly a minute. I broke off the kiss and hugged her closely.
"I'm sorry for running away from you." I apologized, and she looked up at me.
"I was scared of you. Not that I was genuinely afraid of you, but rather I was afraid of what would have happened after I saw you again..."
"Oh, don't worry."
She broke off our hug, and pulled away from me. She walked over to wear she threw her glasses and put them back on. She then turned back to me.
"Don't worry, Ta-chan. You're going to get it, I assure you." She smiled a little too sweetly, and coated her hand in demonic energy.
"Oh... heh..."
I back away slowly.
"Haha... haAAAHHHH!"
I jet out the door, screaming again.
"Ufufufu." Katerea giggled as Tansa ran away.
I'm currently in the living room after narrowly avoiding getting killed by Katerea.
I peak around the corner towards the stairs to make sure no one's coming down.
"Phew." I sigh in relief.
"Tansa-chan."
"AHHH!" I jump 30 feet in the air.
I turn around, slowly. Oh...
"Ah... its you Grayfia. You scared me..."
"Yes, indeed... Anyway, I received a message from Ojou-sama. They will be returning to school tomorrow, and she advises that you go back aswell.
"But-"
"No."
"But I don't-"
"No. You are going back to school tomorrow, and that is final." She said sternly.
"What are you, my mother?!"
She raises up her hand and coats it in demonic energy, ready to punish me.
"Okay, okay! I'm going!" I raise my hands up in surrender.
I turn away and walk back to my room.
"And Tansa-chan, wipe the lipstick off your face."
Oops.
(School)
It's been a few days since Otouto-kun destroyed Raiser and his servants in the rating game, and I guess they finally decided to go back to school.
I however, am being forced to go back because of Grayfia... WHY do I even have to go to school?! I'm THE MAOU of the Underworld, well... not currently... but you know what I mean. POINT IS, I shouldn't have to go to school! And why am I still agreeing to "protect" Rias? Sirzechs' blackmail scheme doesn't even apply anymore, seeing as Katerea already found me!
Though... I do technically have a little brother that goes to school...
But nonetheless, I'm walking to school early and headed for Otouto's house. Something about training in public to show off for girls...
After walking for about 10 minutes I arrive at Issei's... he lives closer to me than I thought. He's standing outside waiting for me, wearing a skin tight black t-shirt and track pants...
"What are you wearing...?"
"How else am I supposed to show off for the beauties at school?!" He asks me as if I should know all this.
"I'm going to be a harem king, and a proper harem king shows off his good looks for the girls to see!"
"You're an idiot."
He then ranted off some more about how he's going to be harem king this and harem king that, and something about a babe army. He ranted all the way until reaching the academy.
We walked through the front gate, and there's nobody here really, save a few other weirdo's like us who showed up early.
We made our way towards the Kendo Club building. The place is real nice, the girls keep everything very clean, even on the outside. It looks like they put a new board over the hole Issei and his two butt-buddies peep into, though it'll probably be magically reopened later. Poor Kendo club girls. Speaking of the girls here, I think I know the reason Issei chose this place to "train"...
"So remind me again exactly what you want to do." I look over at him
"Well, I wanted you to spar with me and tell me how well I'm doing in hand-to-hand combat, since I haven't had any practice in a few days."
"And...?"
"And what?"
"What was this about showing off for girls?"
"Ah, yes yes. You see, after you nearly killed me over a million times and tortured me, my body got a lot better looking, just like yours. So if we spar out here then there's no doubt that the girls will see me, and they'll be all over me! They will say things like "Ohh Ise-kun, you look so sexy now." And things like "Marry me Ise-sama!" You know?"
"I think you're deluded baka-otouto..." I deadpan at him as he continues his fantasies.
"So hurry up and get changed, lets go!"
ugh...
"Fine."
I get changed into my usual training uniform, a black t-shirt with black track pants and black shoes. I can't believe I'm helping this moron show off for girls...
"Alright, let's get this over with." I grumble out as I finish changing
He nods and gets into a battle stance, all while... taking of his shirt...
"Sigh..." I sigh
"Here I come!"
He leeps at me with his fist raised, pointed at my stomach.
I side step his attack and he falls face first into the ground.
"Ow..." he rubs his nose after face-planting.
"What the hell was that? Are you going to fight me or am I just wasting my time? You know I don't want to be here anyway."
"Tch, stupid Tansa... Alright, for real this time!"
This time he leeps towards me again and goes for a right hook to my side. I go to dodge however I'm met with a let fist in my face. Why didn't I see that coming...
He tries to bury his fist further into my face but my head doesn't move an inch.
"Nice punch, otouto." I compliment
"However..."
I knee him right in the stomach, hard.
*Cough!*
He coughs a bit from the impact. He stumbles backwards a bit until regaining his footing.
"Are you ready to get serious?" I ask
He looks up at me and smirks.
"Yeah, since we're at the kendo club, think we should use swords?"
"Hmm, not a bad idea. Here, I have a few heavy bokkens stored away."
I reach into my pocket dimension and pull out two heavy bokkens, similar to the one's I used with Kiba's training.
We both take rather strange looking stances with our bokkens, I hold mine calmly in one hand, at my side, pointed forward, while he simply bends his knees and points the bokken out to the side.
We seem to have been talking rather long as we seem to have drawn a crowd, only about 10 girls though, and a few males.
"You ready?" I ask
"Let's go!"
Like a switch being flipped, we both burst forward and close the distance instantly. His downward slash is met with my upward slash. He then transitions into a burst of five strikes. I easily dodge all five, as he is not anywhere near my capabilities with a sword, though he is surprisingly good.
I jump backwards a few feet and bend down slightly. I lunge forward with a salvo of strikes aiming at his chest. I drive him back as he desperately tries to dodge or parry my attacks.
He seems unfazed as I continue to rain strikes on him, however he's faltering. I'm putting a significant amount of power behind my strikes after all.
I ease off the offensive and he immediately takes advantage, he turns his shoulder towards me and lashes out with a wave of jabs. After around 7 thrusts he rolls to the right and makes a powerful upward slash. I bring my bokken down and our swords collide.
(Crack)
Both swords crack, and break.
The crowd, which increased several times over and now includes the Kendo Club girls, look at us astonished.
I can hear them conversing amongst themselves, thanks to my devil hearing.
"Who is that fighting Tansa-kun?"
"They're really skilled... did you see how fast they moved?"
"Look at that boy's hair... isn't that-?"
"Hyoudou..."
"Nonsense. That pervert didn't have a body like that."
"What do you think Murayama?" The pink haired one asked, Katese I think her name was. The Kendo Club captain.
"No, that's definately Hyoudou, look at his hair and his face. But what happened to him?"
They continue hypothesizing about ways that Otouto-kun could have gotten such a physique in only two weeks. I look over at him
"Looks like your plan worked, Otouto-kun."
He simply grinned at me.
From the crowd a girl screams
"OTOUTO?!"
Another adds in-
"Did Tansa-kun just call Hyoudou, Otouto?!"
We are instantly surrounded by students all gasping and gossiping about what he did to me and how he did it in order for me to call him Little Brother.
I can't stand these fangirls...
"Relax. I simply adopted him into my family is all." I stated, they all gasp and look at us shocked.
He smiles nervously
"Ah. There you two are." A girl walks towards us from within the crowd.
Oh good, it's Rias.
"Come, we have club business." She orders us to follow her.
"Do I have to?" I whine
"Yes. It's mandatory." She says with authority
"Fine..." We both get dragged off by the red-headed devil.
(Clubroom)
Otouto and I follow Rias to the clubroom, and we picked up Asia along the way. Apparently its urgent.
We finally arrive at the creepy old building and it seems like everyone else has already gathered. We situate ourselves and I finally ask the question on everyone's minds.
"So what's this about?"
"Ah yes. Well, as you know Tansa-sama-"
"Tansa."
"Huh?"
"Just call me Tansa."
"But you're Satan-sama's-"
"No. I am Tansa, that is all. The same goes for the rest of you. Do not call me Tansa-sama or Satan-sama."
"Ufufu, and if I do?" Akeno chimes in
"Then I will punish you." I send her a sadistic grin, this seems to have gotten her excited as she giggles into her hand.
"Enough, Akeno. And very well Tansa-kun. Anyhow, as you know Tansa-kun the familiar forest opens up only once a month to devils, and seeing as we have two new members I think this would be a good time to get Ise and Asia their familiars."
"I see."
"Um, Buchou... what's a familiar?"
Rias brought out her hand and pointed her palm upwards
With a poof a red bat appears on her hands
"This is my familiar. They are basically beings that are bound to a devil as a servant or ally. They assist their masters in various tasks, such as getting information, relaying messages, or performing odd jobs."
"This is mine." Akeno spoke up and a palm-sized Oni appeared on the floor, and jumped onto her shoulder.
"….This is Shiro."
Koneko was hugging a white kitten. A girl named Koneko with a kitten familiar... how cute.
"Mine is…."
"I don't want to know." Issei looked at Kiba
"You are so cold." Kiba made a bitter smile and a small bird appeared on his shoulder.
"So tonight we'll be getting you guys your familiars, and you too if you want one Tansa-kun."
Oh I know exactly what I want...
My thoughts were interupted.
(Knock Knock)
"Oh, more devils." I said sensing the aura's behind the door.
Rias looked slightly confused at the intrusion.
"Come in." She said, after hearing what I said.
The door open and eight students entered the clubroom. Seven females and one male.
"Ah, Sona. It's nice to see you. What brings you here?" Rias greeted the now-named Sona. She's in her late teens with a slim figure, short bob-cut black hair, violet eyes, and glasses. Dressed in the girls uniform.
"It's nice to see you too Rias." She greeted back.
"Um, Buchou... this is..."
"Yes, Ise. This is Sona Shitori, her real name is Sona Sitri. She is a high-class devil and the heir to the Sitri clan. She is also our student council president."
"EHHH?!" He excaimed.
As Issei was screaming a short blond-haired guy interjected
"Rias-senpai, you didn't mention anything about us to him before?"
"It's alright Saji. It's not like we could meet whenever we like." She said with a small smile.
Finally Issei managed to get a grip
"So Shitori is just an alias?" He asked
"That is corrected. For protection."
"I see. Well, where are my manners. I'm Hyoudou Issei, second year and pawn of Rias Gremory. Please take care of me." He bowed
"And I'm Asia Argento, second year and bishop of Rias Gremory! P-please take care of my aswell!" Asia said rather nervously.
"Saji. Introduce yourself aswell." She ordered the blonde guy
"Hai Kaichou. Genshirou Saji, second year and pawn of Sona Sitri."
"Nice to meet you, Saji." Issei extended his arm for a handshake.
"Don't touch me." Blond-guy slapped his hand away.
"I refuse to shake hands with one of the perverted trio. It's hard to believe we're both [Pawns]."
"Oh? And what's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing, just that I've taken four [Pawns]. You, who are a loser in school, could never hope to beat me. You disgrace the position of [Pawn]"
""PppfffffhaahahAHAHA!"" Issei and I both started laughing at this kid.
"Saji, stop embarrassing me. You should know that Hyoudou-kun has taken eight [Pawns] and is the one who defeated Raiser Phoenix, a high-class devil with significant strength, as well as the majority of his peerage, single handedly and seemingly effortlessly.."
"EEHHHHHH!? Eight?! But that's all of them!" He screams
"Hahahaha... ah... That is correct, weak four [Pawn]-kun, I took them all." Issei said with superiority
Saji looked defeated and he turned toward me.
"And what about you?! What kind of piece did you take, Mr. Pretty-boy King-asshole who gets all the girls?!"
"SAJI!" Sona yelled at him
"Mr. Pretty-boy King-asshole huh?" My hair then shadow's my eyes.
"Tell me, do you want to die?"
I approached the Blonde-haired kid slowly, letting my aura leek out. He showed no signs of backing down, though he seems frightened.
Suddenly, Sona came in-between us.
"Saji! Back down now! How dare you make a fool of me!" She scolds him, he looks up at her shocked.
She then turns to me and bows deeply.
"I apologize, Tansa-sama. Please overlook my foolish servants actions just now." She asked me respectfully
The entire student council's mouths dropped to the floor when she bowed to me.
"It's fine. I wasn't actually going to kill him..."
"Ano... Kaichou..." Saji started
"Why are you bowing to this guy?" he asks
"Be silent, Saji. For those of you who don't know, this man is Tansa-sama. His real name is Tansa Satan, brother of the original Satan and one of the original Maou of the Underworld."
The whole council went wide-eyed at her procolomation, and their mouths would have crashed through the floor if they could.
Sona then turned around and faced Blond-guy.
"Apologize, Saji. Now!"
"H-hai!" He stammered towards me and bowed
"Please forgive me! Don't kill me!" He begged me
"Get up... I wasn't going to kill you, or even hurt you actually... I just wanted to scare you, and it seemed to have worked haha!" I laughed at him and they all looked at me incredulously
"And let's not call Issei a loser, yeah? He's my brother now, so techincally he's above even you two... maybe even above an Ultimate-class? Hmm..." I trailed off, and they went wide-eyed, again. Even Sona this time.
"You mean to say... you adopted Hyoudou-kun into the Satan family?!" Sona questioned in disbelief
"That is correct." I said to her
She looked shocked.
After a few minutes of composing themselves they finally got down to business.
Asia then looked over at Saji.
"Ano... Saji-san, its nice to meet you!" She bowed to him
He instantly grabbed her hand
"No, Asia-chan the pleasure is all mine! I finally meet the new beautiful blond bishoujo!" He shook her hand passionately
Almost instantly Issei grabbed his hand, crushing it..
"It is nice for her to meet you Saji! And by that, I mean touch her again and I will kill you..." he threatened
"Enough, Otouto-kun." I ordered, and he let go of his hand.
"In any case... I couldn't help but overhear you're planning on going to the familiar forrest tonight?" Sona tried to change the subject.
"That's right." Rias said
"Well, we can't both go at the same time, as I planned to go tonight as well."
Rias frowned.
"Well this is troublesome, seeing as the Familiar Master only see's one peerage per month..."
"True... I don't suppose you could let me see him first?"
"Absolutely not. Ah, I have an idea. How about a game then? The winner gets to go the forest tonight."
"Surely you're not suggesting a Rating Game, Rias?" She looks at Rias with a raised eyebrow
"Not at all, what do you say we settle this as normal highschool students, with sports?" Rias suggests
"I see. Very well, you have yourself a game Rias." She accepted Rias' challenge.
Sparks could be seen between their eyes
Oh boy.
(Tennis Court)
...I'm speechless.
"Kyaa~! it's Sona Onee-sama!" random female #1 screamed
"Uwaaa! Akeno Onee-sama! You're as beautiful as always!" random male #1 screamed
"Rias Onee-sama! Please out with me!" Random male #2 said
"Tsubaki-sama! Kyaaa!" Random female #2 screamed
People gathered around the tennis court as the 4 most popular females in the school faced off in a tennis match. Issei is staring intently at their bodies, especially their skirts that seem to fly upwards magically every time they swing or jump, revealing their panties. Asia was standing to his right cheering while Koneko and Kiba looked at Issei disturbed.
"Here it goes, Sona." Rias is holding a tennis ball ready to serve
Sona nods
The match started as both sides furiously swung their rackets, pounding the ball to shreds. 10 minutes passed at the score was tied 15-15.
"Kaichoouu! Win for us~~!
We looked up to see Saji waiving a student council flag on top of the fence. This dude's weird.
The match was getting even more heated, until-
"Take this! Shitori-style spin serve!" Sona shouted and hit the ball with a little demonic power released on it.
... Wow
"Naive! I can just counter it with Gremory-style!" Rias was about to hit the ball until... it changed direction.
"15-30!"
"Did she just use demonic power?" Koneko asks
"This is getting out of hand..."
"HAHA! KAICCHOUUUU YOU'RE AWESOME~!"
The students seem unfazed by the use of magic. These people are dense...
"Good thing this people are so oblivious..."
They nod at my comment.
They game just got more out of hand from there...
(Clubroom)
So the match didn't end, shown by the broken tennis rackets.
"We've decided on a team battle instead." Rias said entering the room.
"We've decided on dodgeball. It will be tomorrow night at the gym."
(Gym)
The club members are warming up before they start. The girls are wearing white t-shirts with blue accents with the academy emblem on the left front with navy blue bloomers. Kiba is wearing a grey and white tracksuit. Rias is wearing a pick and white tracksuit. Otouto and I are wearing our black sleeveless t-shirts with black track pants.
"Everyone, could you please gather around for a bit?" Issei called
They all gathered around him, save for myself. He then pulled out headbands with the words Occult Club sewed into it.
"I was hoping this might lift everyone's spirit."
"Issei-san made them over-night!"
"Haha, thought it was Asia who taught me how to sew." Issei smiled while rubbing the back of his head.
"Sob..." I'm crying off to the side
"Tansa-kun why are you crying?" Rias questions
"He even sews... sob... just like Onii-sama..."
They all looked at me in disbelief. It's not everyday you hear that Satan sewed.
"Well, it's my first time sewing so that's the best I can do."
"It's amazing Issei-kun." Kiba complimented
"Well-made..." Good lord girl speak more
"Ara ara, Issei-kun worked so hard for us. Now we can't lose"
"No! Buchou and Akeno-san did most of the work. Even Koneko, Kiba and Asia did more than me." He rose his hands up shaking them back and forth
"!?" "Issei! Your hands!" Rias pointed at his hands
His hands, mostly fingers, are riddled with bandages.
He quickly pulled his hands behind his back.
"It's nothing... I pricked myself like an idiot is all." he smiled at them
Rias frowned. She then showed an emotional face and walked towards him, and hugged him in front of everyone. Everyone seemed shocked.
"Thank you very much, my cute Issei... Please... stay with me forever..." her voice wavered
Everyone was surprised at what she just said. I'm not, I'm not allowed to be emotional in public... even though I was just crying.
"Of course I'll stay with you Buchou. I said it before and I'll say again, I'm yours forever." he tried to cheer her up
She smiled brightly and reluctantly let go of him.
"Sorry that we're late."
Sona and her peerage walked in, and Rias went back to being less emotional.
(Game Start)
They have 2 more people than us, it would be three however one of Sona's girls went to go be referee.
Currently, Tsubasa, a tall girl with blue shoulder-length hair and matching eyes, is holding the ball. She then aims it at Koneko and hurls it towards her, hard.
Koneko bent back to dodge it, but the ball ripped part of her shirt off.
*PitPit!* "Koneko out."
That was quick.
The game continued as Rias and Akeno did most of the attacking. Issei was dodging mostly and passing it around, as he can't bring himself to throw a ball at a girl. Kiba threw the ball lightly, probably missing on purpose, and Asia just dodged mostly. I just stood there, they haven't tried to hit me yet, ha. The simple game then turned into a warzone as they started using their demonic powers.
"This will be the last match." Referee girl called out.
Only myself, Rias, Akeno, Sona, Saji and Issei remained.
Saji was holding the ball, trying to decide who to hit.
Can't hit Rias, she's an idol.
Can't hit Akeno, same thing, plus I'll kill you.
Can't hit me, I'm a Maou, technically.
Can't hit Issei, I'll kill you again.
Saji then glared at me (why me?) and gripped onto the ball.
"HEY PRETTY-BOY MAOU! TAKE THIS!" He threw the ball hard as shit at me.
"Tansa!" ""Tansa-kun!"" "Onii-sama!" "Tansa-senpai!" "Tansa-san!"
Rias, Akeno, Kiba, Issei, Asia and Koneko all shouted at me as the ball flew towards me, fast as hell.
I just stood there. I then lifted my right hand up.
"Foolish."
(Bang!)
The ball collided with my palm and made a huge gust of wind, as well as a banging sound.
They all looked at me shocked as I just caught the ball easily.
Using my huge hands, I gripped the ball hard and pointed it at Saji.
"Throwing the ball at me? You would have been better off hitting Otouto-kun. Well, even then, it might have actually been better for you to aim for Rias." I said as I gripped the ball even harder
I then threw the ball at Saji with speeds that none but a trained fighter could dodge.
(Splat!)
I hit him... in the crotch... oops.
"Oh... I'm sorry..." I apologized as he fell to the ground groaning
"S-Saji out!" The referee called as they took Saji away to get healed. I feel bad now, I probably scarred him for life.
The game concluded with the Student Council's loss.
(Clubroom)
"You did very well, I'm proud of you all." Rias praised everyone
"But it was Tansa who helped us win the last match." Kiba pointed out.
"No. Your leader is the one who led you to victory, all I did was stand there most of the time then smash a guys crotch..."
"Ara, how modest Tansa-kun. Maybe you'll let me "smash" your crotch later?" Akeno said provocatively
"Maybe." I grinned at her, she giggled.
"Then let's not waste anymore time. Time to get you guys your familiars."
(Forest)
We teleported to this creepy old forest... still hasn't changed since I was last here.
The forest is very thick, and it can be quite hard to breathe if you're claustrophobic.
I inhale deeply, as the air in here is calming
Suddenly...
"Get Dazed!" Who the hell
A young man wearing rough clothing jumps out from nearby bushes.
"Who are you?!" Issei immediately goes on the deffensive
"Whoa, calm yourself devil-kun."
"Ise, he's the one who will help us find your new familiars." Rias points out
"Oh. I see." Issei drops his guard
"My name is Satooji of Madara Town! I'm a devil in training, and am aiming to become the Familiar Master!" Satooji introduced himself energetically
"Satooji-san, I've brought the one's I spoke of as well as an extra."
She introduced myself, Asia and Issei to the dude.
"Hoh! A strong looking young man, a beautiful blond girl and Satan's brother, huh? Just leave it to me then! If it's me, any Familiar in the forst would be "Get Daze"!"
What the hell is get daze? Eh... I don't care that much.
"Then, what kind of familiar would you like? A cute one? Maybe a fast one?"
"Ano... a cute one please." Asia spoke nervously
"A cute one? No problem!" He gave her a thumbs up
Issei sat there thinking for a few seconds
"What kind of strong ones are out there?" he asks
"Well, if you're looking for strong ones you could always go for a Hydra, or maybe even a Phoenix if you can find one. But if you want the strongest, then that would be the Dragon King Tiamat! It's a legendary dragon who's strength is said to rival Maou, it's also the only female dragon amongst the dragon kings."
Issei looked like he was considering fighting Tiamat
"Don't even think about it Otouto. Tiamat is way stronger than you are currently. You'd have to initiate Juggernaut Drive to even stand a chance." I said, he looked disappointed.
"However, I would like to say that the strongest familiar in the forest-"
"-is not the Dragon King Tiamat."
Satooji looked at me surprised.
"Oh? Then what is?"
"This."
I brought my hands together, and pointed them towards the ground. A light blue magic circle appeared on the ground, a very big one.
"Arise, and walk amongst the living once more, Illuyanka!" I shout and the magic circle glows very brightly, illuminating the entire forest.
The glow dies down, and standing in the middle of the huge circle is a huge Ash-grey wolf covered in blue-flames.
"What the?!" Satooji looks shocked, and so does the rest of the club
"Ah, it's been a while hasn't it, Illuyanka?" I spoke to the giant wolf
"Master? Is that you?"
"Aye, my old friend. It is I."
"Ano... Onii-sama... what is that?!" Issei exclaimed pointing at Illuyanka
"Well, for that I need to give you a history lesson. Gather round children, it's story time."
They all made a semi-circle in front of me, and Illuyanka sat there waiting.
"In this world, there are many strong beings. The majority of them are Gods, however even among Gods there's a certain ten that could be considered the Gods among Gods. They are named Ophis, the infinite dragon god, and the strongest existence. There is also Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction; Indra, the Hindu heavenly emperor; Brahma, the Hindu god of creation; and Vishnu the Hindu supreme god of Vaishnavism. Next is Thor, the Norse god of Storms, Hades the Greek god of the Underworld, Lugh the High King of the Irish Gods, and Aten the Egyptian God of the Sun, an aspect of Ra."
"Wow..." They all look amazed
"Ano... Tansa-san, thats only nine?" Asia pointed out
"Correct. The last being in the Top Ten Strongest is the Greek Monster known as Typhon, or Fenrir as he's more commonly referred to as. He is the God-slaying wolf, feared by most if not all Gods."
"Then is this...?!"
"No, this is not Typhon. Typhon, the most fearsome monster of the Greek, was the son of Gaia, the Greek God of the Earth and Tartarus. However, Typhon was not the only God-slaying monster ever created."
They all looked at Illuyanka.
"Illuyanka, like Typhon, was born of a God and Tartarus. However, long before many of the world mythologies today, he was slain by Tarhunt, the Hittite God of the Sky and Storms. His existence was only rumored among even the highest Gods, not even the oldest of the Gods now, save for Ophis, even remembered him. I, after convincing Ophis of telling me where his remains were kept, set out to find Illuyanka. Once I found him, I gave him a portion of my power in order to bring him back to life, similar to how the Evil Pieces are able to reincarnate a devil."
I then extended my hand and a black flame appeared
"The power I gave to him was my Hellfire, the Ancestor to the fire of the Phoenix clan. Similar to Otouto's hellfire, Illuyanka's appears to be blue, as it is "cooled" so to speak, meaning it is not as potent in him as it is me. Before I disappeared from the Underworld, I had him seal himself here in this forest, only to be awakened by me summoning him again."
Illuyanka nods, and they all look at him in awe.
"In terms of power, Illuyanka is not as strong as Typhon, so he would not fit within the Top Ten. However, he is still easily within the Top Twenty, maybe even Top Fifteen, and his fangs are no less deadly than Typhon's."
They continue to stare at Illuyanka, eyes wide open.
"So Illuyanka, now that I've called you back, will you return to my side once again?"
"Of course, master." he bows his head.
"Excellent. Now can you do something about your size? It would be most unfortunate if you were to teleport into my house as big as you are."
He nods and his body begins to compress.
Now standing in front of us is a larger-then-normal ash-grey wolf with very light blue eyes. The blue flame around his body now extinguished.
He comes up to my side and I pat him on the head.
"You're not going to bind him to you?" Satooji looks at me with a raised eyebrow.
"No, I have no reason to. I consider Illuyanka my friend and partner, not a servant." I state
Satooji nods in acceptance.
"Now all that's left is to find Ise and Asia a familiar." Rias says and we walk off further into the forest.
After walking for around twenty minute Satooji stops and points up at a tree.
"Look. A sprite dragon." He points a tiny dragon sitting on a tree branch.
"Sprite dragon?" Issei asks
"Yeah, the sprite dragon. Just like it's name, it's a dragon that uses blue lightning."
"It's still a baby, so if you're going to catch it now is the time. You will definitely not be able to control it once it matures. It won't be Dragon-king level, but it's still considered top-tier among dragons." he explains.
"Sprite Dragon. It is also my first time seeing one. What beautiful scales... It's glowing blue like a purple-blue diamond." Rias was looking at the dragon, deeply moved.
"Ise. Since you are part dragon, what do you say you make that dragon your familiar?"
"Hmm... it's certainly fitting, me being part dragon thanks to Ddraig..." Issei seems to be in deep thought
"Alright! I decided! I shall make you, Sprite Dragon, my familiar!" He points at the dragon, proclaiming his goal.
And then...
"Kyaa!" Asia screams. She has slime on her.
"This is?!" Rias screams as well, she has the green slime on her as well.
*Splash Splash Splash* The slime falls from the sky
"Did it fall from the trees?" I ask, intrigued by the slime.
"A slime." Thank you, for those words of wisdom Kiba.
"Is it poisonous?!" Issei asks frantically, but what happens next blew me away.
"My c-clothes... their melting!" Just as Asia screamed, the girls' uniforms start to dissolve, exposing their underwear.
"Uwaa!" Issei's nose explodes, and blood rushes to his crotch.
The slime continues to attack the girls, and starts to melt their panties and bra's as well...
Koneko smacked Kiba while hiding her private parts.
"Please don't look..."
"Ah, sorry Koneko-chan." Kiba quickly turned around, rubbing his stomach.
A tentacle appears from behind the tree and wraps around the girls.
Asia screams as the tentacle makes its way up her leg. It enters her ripped clothes and starts moving. Rias and Koneko are also getting felt up by the tentacles. All while Satooji maintains a proper look, though he has blood running down his nose. I just stand there, staring at Akeno. If this thing even dares to touch Akeno...
"This one doesn't have a name, and it's slime melts clothes. And also its just mere tentacles. They often attack their prey together. Though they're called monsters, they are virtually harmless, minus the fact they eat clothes.
"I've found it!" Issei screams while he continues to lose blood
"Buchou! I would like to make this slime my familiar!" he proclaims.
"Ise-iyyan! Please, iyaa! reconsider." Rias pleads with him
The tentacles then start to move around her breasts.
"Done considering! This will be my familiar!"
"Sigh..." I sighed.
Then the tentacles does what it should not have, and latches onto Akeno.
"Ara, ara, iyaan!" Akeno moans, she seems to be enjoying this.
"That's far enough..." I say
Using my hellfire, I start to burn away the slime. I burn off the slime on Rias, Akeno and Koneko
I then turn to burn the slime that's still on Asia, but-
"NO!" Issei jumps up and hugs Asia tightly. Asia blushes at the contact.
"Don't touch Sli-sli!"
"You named the fuckin thing already?" I ask incredulously
Issei continues to "protect" the slime while hugging onto Asia
*Buzz*
Suddenly, the Sprite Dragon that was on the nearby tree flies over.
I looked up and without warning, the dragon unleashed it's lightning attack on Issei, frying him and Satooji.
"Sprite dragons only give electric damage to those it acknowledges as enemies. It must have thought the young man there was attacking the girl."
It then electrocutes the slime that's covering Asia and it turns the slime to ashes.
"Looks like it eliminated the slimes and tentacles that were attacking Asia. Maybe this dragon is male, I heard male dragon's often take a liking to females of other races." Rias pats the dragon on the head.
"Ano... can I make this dragon my familiar?" Asia asks
"Sprite dragons only open up to those with pure hearts. It's unusual for them to be accepting of a devil... you must be a very kind and pure-hearted person."
"Well, she did used to be a nun..." I said
The dragon landed on Asia's shoulder, after shocking Issei again.
She then picked it up and put it in front of her on the ground.
She drew a red magic circle around the dragon
"I-In the name of Asia Argento, I order you! Y-You shall become my familiar and respond to my contract!"
The circle glowed for a moment, before dying down, signalling the creation of a contract.
The dragon then flew back to Asia and it started playing with her.
"Hahaha, Rassei-kun, you're tickling me."
"Rassei?" Issei questions, finally getting up from being burned and crying over the so-called "Sli-sli".
"Well... since he uses lightning and I wanted to use Issei-san's name, I named him Rassei. Is that okay?"
"It's fine Asia-chan! Then, Rassei, lets get along!"
Issei tried to pat Rassei but it electrocuted him again.
"Gaa." It made a sound as Issei died on the floor.
I then walked up to it and tried to pat it
It then shot out electricity again, trying to hurt me.
I received no damage, and Rassei looked confused.
"Ha, silly dragon. You can't hurt me." I said and walked away with Illuyanka.
(Clubroom)
"Alright everyone, let's celebrate Asia and Tansa-kun getting their familiars." Rias clapped and a cake formed
"I personally baked it~" She said happily as she cut it
They then dug in to the cake, and I snuck out the door and teleported back home with Illuyanka.
(Home)
"Hah..." I sighed as I walked into my room, Illuyanka following suit.
"You go ahead and sleep wherever you like, Illu. There's plenty of room around here. And if one of the girls asks you what you're doing here, tell them to talk to me." I told him and he nodded, and trailed off somewhere.
I then got into bed, and tried to fall asleep.
However, I was soon joined by a certain tan-skinned beauty, who was completely naked.
"Ah, hey Katey-chan." I greeted her
She smiled at me and cuddled next to me on the bed.
"What were you doing out so late?" She asks
"I was with Sirzechs' sister and her servants, they wanted me to join them on their trip to the familiar forest."
"I see."
"I found Illu while I was there too. So if you see a large wolf walking around the house don't freak out." I advised her
"Illu?" She asked me
"Yeah, Illuyanka. You know, the wolf?"
"Oh... I see. Well, I'll watch out for him then."
"Oh, Ta-chan." she called me
"Hmm?"
I turned to her and she got up on top of me.
She brought her head down and kissed me passionately. Our tongues danced around each other as she drew the saliva out of my mouth.
After a few minutes of kissing she broke away
"What was that for?" I asked as she layed next to me, and put her head on my chest.
"I'm just glad that we're together again." she smiled at me.
"Good night Tansa, I love you." She said as she closed her eyes.
"Good night, Katey-chan." I said as I fell asleep.
Phew, 9000 words, holy shit.
Like I said, this was more of a short story chapter plus a means to nudge Katerea into Tansa's harem. Next chapter will begin the Excalibur arc.
And what do you think about what I had happen with Katerea? To elaborate some, Tansa left both Katerea and Grayfia (he was with both at the same time) when he left the underworld. Being that Katerea is more vengeful than Grayfia, he was rather terrified of what might happen should she ever find him again, hence why he never tried to find her or let her find him. Plus, Katerea can be rather scary when she's angry, as we'll see later on.
As for Illuyanka: Illuyanka is essentially the Hittite equivalent to Typhon (Fenrir). Since the Hittites and their religion were wiped out long ago, and their gods no longer around, no one except Ophis knew where its remains were after being slain by Tarhunt. (Tarhunt is the Hittite equivalent to Zeus, and in Greek mythology Zeus is the one who slayed Typhon.)
I'm also taking suggestions as to what Tansa should do about Kokabiel. Should I have him crush him in a game of tactics and counter-planning against Kokabiel, should I just have Issei annihilate Kokabiel with the help of Tansa, or should I do something entirely different? Help me decide! D:
And Issei's social status will improve with the girls of the school now that he's the little brother of their "King". Perhaps I'll bring Murayama and Katese into the story somehow, or even Kiru?
Review and Comment. Peace.
