Chapter 20

"Honestly I will never understand your perversion Issei," said Rias a few hours later after we had all gathered in the clubroom.

"Its in his nature," I said, "Just be thankful hes not writing smut novels and passing them off as art."

"He wasn't being perverted, he was trying to make a baby with me," said Xenovia, "Thats a beautiful thing."

"I was not, you were forcing eggs!" yelled Issei.

"And I cannot believe you just said that," I snickered, before I stiffened as a massive amount of power suddenly appeared.

"This seems like a good time," said a familiar voice as a white magic circle appeared, proceeding Sirzechs and Greyfia, "Is there some sort of event going on?"

Rias shot to her feet with a startled gasp at the sight of her brother.

"What are you doing here?" she demanded.

"Oh wow, its the Devil King," said Issei in shock as he, Koneko, Kiba and Akeno knelt in respect.

I on the other hand just through a sloppy salute his way as I rubbed my head in irritation, the sudden influx of power having overloaded my senses and given me a headache.

"You must be Asia Argento," said the Devil King, turning to the former nun.

"Y-yes sir," she replied.

"I've been told you're an excellent Bishop and that you've been taking very good care of our Rias."

"Really?" asked said Bishop.

"Don't look so nervous my dear, I'm simply here to conduct some private business matters," said Sirzechs with a grin.

"What private business?" asked Rias.

"Its very good to meet you," said Xenovia, stepping forwards, "I've heard so much, I'm Xenovia."

"Its a great pleasure to meet you Miss Xenovia," said Sirzechs, "I couldn't believe my ears when I heard that the Durandal user had joined my sister. What a beautiful and intelligent decision you've made."

I tuned out Xenovias response in favor of rubbing my temples to alleviate the pounding in my head.

"Are you OK Ren?" asked Sirzechs, looking over at me.

"Yeah, its just that the amount of power that you two are putting out is overloading my senses and giving me a headache," I said.

"Well, I apologise for causing you discomfort," said the Devil King.

"No big deal, I just need a bit of time to adjust," I said as the pain in my head started to go of slightly.

"You still haven't told us why you're here," said Rias, getting the conversation back on track.

"You honestly don't know?" asked Sirzechs, "Isn't it almost time for open house?"

Rias went pale.

"What? no you can't..!"

"If you mean I can't wait to see my little sister in action at school then you're absolutely right."

"Was it you Greyfia?" asked Rias, "did you tell him? be honest."

"Oh I almost forgot, Father will be coming as well."

"You can't just leave like that, you're the Devil King!" said Rias, before her voice faded slightly, "You have responsibilities."

"No actually, this counts as work," said Sirzechs, "Your school seems like a lovely place. We were hoping to hold the Summit here."

"What? of all the places are you serious?" demanded Rias as the rest of us reeled from the surprise declaration.

"Oh man, what a day," I grumbled as I walked home with Niko, "Cleaning the pool, talking to Xenovia about kids and being told that the school is going to be playing host to the leaders summit. I need a drink."

"You're too young," said Niko.

I grumbled slightly before sniffing the air.

"What's that smell?" I asked.

Niko paused and sniffed as well.

"Smells like sulpher," she said.

"Sulpher huh?" I muttered, looking around uneasily. I suddenly got the feeling that something was watching us. I activated my Gatekeepers Eyes and looked around, but did not find anything other than a few humans wandering around.

"Hmm, I wonder if… Nah, unlikely. I don't think Yellow Eyes would be that stupid."

"Ren, are you OK?" asked Niko, looking up at me.

"Oh, yeah, I'm fine," I said, grinning at her.

However my uneasiness didn't go away until we got home and flared up again almost as soon as we left the house the next morning, not going away until we were at the school gates, although that might have been because of the stand of going on outside.

"Are we really going to do this in broad daylight?" I asked as I walked up behind Issei who was glaring at his silver haired counterpart who looked positively nonchalant, despite the swords being held at his neck by the two Knights.

"Now this is someone I wanted to meet," said Vali, "The one who was able to defeat Kokabiel despite being weakened and injured."

"What's it to you?" I asked, subtly shifting my weight in preparation for a fight.

"You are very strong, perhaps even on the same level as me," said Vali, "You are also a rather unique existence. A Devil with the blood of Gods in him."

I narrowed my eyes and flared my power. Vali just chuckled.

"Thats enough, everyone stand down," said Rias, walking up to us.

Kiba and Xenovia relaxed, there swords vanishing as they moved to flank us.

"Mind telling me what this is all about?" asked the red-haired King, "If you've come here on behalf of the Fallen Angels then I can assure you its a huge waste of time.

"Heh, were you aware that the Welsh Dragon and the Vanishing Dragon both called upon the Twin Sky Dragons?" asked Vali, "People involved with the Red and White Dragons have never had the best of luck. Makes me wonder how your life will turn out."

Rias' response was to turn up the power of her glare.

"Calm down, I didn't come here to fight," he said, walking off, "I have much more important things to do today."

He paused.

"Oh, before I forget, I have a message for you Ren," he looked back over his shoulder at me, "Its from Azazel. He says, 'beware of the coming Witch.' I have no idea what it means, but he seemed to think you would."

I frowned slightly.

"Yeah, I know," I said, "I just hope that I'll be able to make a difference."

That earnt me a few odd looks, but I waved off the questions.

The thought kept bugging me throughout the rest of the day and I couldn't help but wonder if I should have Lexura see if she could find Madoka's classroom. By this point, I was pretty much convinced that, not only did I have a God Slayer and his Knights attending my school, but also the cast of Madoka. In the end, I ducked off to the loo to send Lexura off on a scouting mission to see if I should be worried yet or not.

I met Issei on my way back to class, the Red Dragon user returning from the Nurses office to make sure his arm didn't act up in the middle of class, and nearly got wacked by Motohama as he and Matsuda punched Issei in the face as we entered. I mostly tuned out there conversation and doodled in my notebook as I thought about what Vali had said, right up until Xenovia came up and gave Issei a bunch of condoms and ended up getting Issei punched again by his friends.

"Urg, Xenovia, couldn't you have waited until later to give them to Issei?" I asked, massaging my eyes, "Thats not really the sort of thing you should do in a classroom."

"Oh, I'm sorry," she said.

I grumbled and glanced down at my pad, only to freeze at what I had drawn. Now normally I'm about as artsy as a ten thumbed drunk platypus, but this time what I had drawn was recognisable. It looked like a pair of rather feril yellow eyes.

"What the hell?"

"Whats got you so worked up?" asked Niko as we made our way home after school later that day.

"Oh you know, a hundred and one problems that keep building and don't seem like there going to go away any time soon" I growled, clenching a fist.

I lashed out with my fist and punched the tree next to me, blasting a crater in the bark.

"Wow, you really are on edge," said Niko, looking at me worriedly, "I don't think I've ever seen you this worked up."

I took a deep breath in an attempt to calm down. Niko didn't deserve to be blown up at after all.

The next day saw all worries about incoming Witches and Yellow Eyed Demons were chased from my mind as I found myself faced with a much more pressing issue. Open house. Fortunately, Mom was more interested in Nikos class than mine, but its still extremely distracting to have a large number of adults armed with cameras and horrible dress sense out to embarrass their kids in the worst way possible. To make matters worse, the lesson of the moment was art class and as previously mentioned, I can't do any form of art to save my life. But I couldn't sit staring at this lump of clay forever, so I closed my eyes with a sigh and began molding the clay.

"Hmm, something that's important to me?" I mused, "My friends and family are what immediately come to mind. Hmmm."

Suddenly my mind went back to when I woke up after the fight with Voban and the sight of Koneko in her PJs. A slight smile appeared on my lips as my fingers continued to mold the clay.

"Oh wow, check out what Rens done," said a voice from my side.

I opened my eyes and glanced down, only to gasp in shock at the model in front of me. Much like Issei and his model of a naked Rias, I had somehow managed to make a near perfect model of Koneko in her PJs, curled up and asleep.

"Awe, thats so cute!" squealed one of the girls in the class right in my ear, making me recoil in pain.

"OK, ow, that really hurt," I grumbled.

"Wow this is really good," said Kiba after class as he examined the model in Konekos hands, "I had no idea you were so talented Ren."

Koneko meanwhile was bright red with embarrassment as I rubbed the back of my head with an awkward smile on my face.

"I'm not," I replied, "Normally my art projects suck and I've never managed to get higher than a D in anything."

"Thats kind of sweet," said Xenovia, "That the one good art project you do is a model of your girlfriend."

"Yeah, but I still have no idea how I did it," I grumbled.

At that moment, I glanced up before pulling my friends into an alcove in the wall, just in time to avoid a hoard of boys charging past shouting something about a Magical Girl photoshoot.

"What was that all about?" asked Kiba when they had gone.

"I have no idea," I said, rubbing my head in irritation.

After school I headed home with Koneko, Niko having headed off with her friends for the evening. I glanced at my girlfriend who was examining the model of her again.

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

"What are you apologizing for?" she asked, looking up at me, "Xenovia was right, this is sweet. Thank you Ren."

She smiled up at me, making me blush lightly and look away.

"A-ah, you're welcome," I stuttered.

We walked in a companionable silence for a while before Koneko spoke up.

"Hey Ren, what do you think of cats?"

I paused at the random question.

"That was random," I said, "Why do you ask?"

"Just answer the question," muttered Koneko, looking away.

"Well, while I wouldn't one as a pet, I like them well enough," I said, "Although thats mainly cus I don't think I'd make a very good pet owner. I definitely prefer cats to dogs though, but don't tell Lexura."

"I see," said Koneko, a small smile appearing on her lips.

"Why do you ask?" I asked again.

"Oh, no reason," said my girlfriend, "Come on, lets go."

She ran off, leaving me blinking after her.

"O...K?"

I ran after her, not noticing the shadow that watched after me with glowing red eyes.

Plenty of changes here, I hope you enjoyed them!
