The Third King of Kuoh Academy

Chapter 3

I opened my eyes slightly and instantly felt tired and groggy. I should really start going to bed earlier. After I bring my free hand up to rub my eyes I notice the body that's pressing down on me.

"Violet, when did you get in here?" I asked quietly and smiled at her. Her long black hair was everywhere in the bed and she was lying on top of me, holding me in her arms. She's a pretty defensive knight.

"Okay well we got school sweetie, up ya go." I gently push her off me and lay her back on the bed. It's around six thirty, so we have plenty of time before school starts, I'll let her sleep. I walked over to her door and made my exit, but not without another glance at the beautiful girl in nothing but a small black t-shirt. She is officially adorable.

I walk out of my knight's room and proceed down the hall, stretching. I get to the staircase and slid down the right set into the foyer. I hit the bottom with a thud and…pose! I love doing stuff like that.

I walked into the kitchen and set the coffee maker and began the preperations for my breakfast. I pulled out our jumbo box of Coco Puffs and poured everyone a bowl.

"And…another empty box. For a bunch of girls they sure do eat a lot." I sigh and take a seat and begin eating. Soon enough I hear talking and footsteps approaching the dining room. I look over and see the girls who fell asleep in the living room waking up and walking towards me.

"Sleep well girls? You really didn't have to stay up with me." I called to them and they finally noticed my presence.

"Oh Master, good morning!" Sara, Tera, and Ella called. I waved at them and watched them run into the dining room and attempt to tackle my chair. I caught the three short girls and held them in my arms. They're all so small and cute.

"It's a good morning now." I said and they both giggled a little. I love it when they do that!

"Hello Varian, did you sleep well?" Brittany, Aria, and Ashlen walked into the dining room and smiled at me.

"I would have slept better if someone wouldn't have snuck into my room and stolen my bed." I told them and we all laughed, it's not like this hadn't happened before.

"How about you all? Break in the new couch yet?" I asked and they laughed.

"Yes sir! Just as comfortable as the one back home." Aria called out and took her seat next to me. Man she is so pretty, even with bed head.

"I'm glad, but honestly girls you don't have to stay up and watch me play a stupid game all night." I said and awkwardly rubbed the back of my head.

"Oh its fine master we don't mind at all!" Ashlen said as she walked behind me and ran her hands down my shoulders. Her blonde hair fell over me and I felt her soft pink lips touch my cheek and I cheered to myself.

"Thanks Ashlen, man I'm so lucky to have you girls in my life." I told them and grabbed Ashlen's hands and held them close to my bare chest.

"Oh come on Master, we're the lucky ones. You are so kind to us and you fill our lives with adventure. I think I speak for everyone when I say that we love you whole heartedly." Brittany told me as she took a seat on my lap. I looked and saw all the other girls smiling and nodding at her statement and I couldn't help but smile too.

"Man you guys are gonna make me cry this early in the morning. And we have school today, I'mma look like a panzy!" I teased them and they all started giggling at me.

"Well I'm going to eat my delicious breakfast that my lovely Master prepared and then I'm going to get changed." Aria said and began to eat.

"No I'm going to show Master how much I love his cooking and then I'll be the best pawn!" Tera yelled out and started eating fiercely. I started laughing uncontrollably. My pawns are always fighting for my attention; it's normally quiet the show.

"No way I'm going to let you do anything like that!" Ella yelled, challenging her. The two stared at each other across the large dining room table. Aria laughed and stood at the head of the table.

"So what are the stakes for this match?" She asked and smirked at me. I smiled back at her and watched the showdown in anticipation.

"Whoever wins gets to hold Varian's arms on the way to school AND they get to sleep in his bed tonight!" Ella called out and Tera immediately agreed.

"Then let it begin, on your marks, get set, GO!" She yelled and chopped through the air with her hand. The two younger girls started eating in a frenzy and I'm positive they spilled more than they ate. They do this stuff pretty often. I think it may have to do with the fact that my pawns and Amy are the youngest out of all my servants. They act pretty immature, but they do mean well.

I watched the eating match pretty closely. I laughed the whole time and I was pretty happy they enjoyed breakfast so much. At least they won't be tired at school.

"I'm done." A calm, sweet voice next to me said. I looked over and saw Brittany with an empty bowl. She was smiling at me and at the other girls.

"I believe this makes me the winner then." She said and stood up, pushed in her chair, and walked towards her room. As she passed me as gave me a quick peck on the cheek and winked at me.

"That's no fair!" Tera yelled at her.

"Yeah you're just way bigger." Sara added and the rest of us could barely control ourselves.

"Oh snap!" Aria yelled and she started running around the table yelling "ohhhh!"

I kept laughing and tried to finish my breakfast before I went off to get changed. I was in the shower about ten minutes later. Luckily, every room in the house has its own bathroom so it doesn't take long for all of us to take showers. I finished as fast as I could and raced into my room to get changed. I threw on an old white t-shirt, jeans, black Chucks, and a black hoodie.

I climbed down the spiral staircase and slid down the railing back into the foyer. In front of me were my eight most favorite girls in the world…wait only eight?

"Where's Violet and Seraphin?" I asked and as if on cue…

"You two did what last night?!" I heard Seraphin's angry voice scream from the upper hallway. Next thing I know Violet came flying over the railing and landed in the foyer in front of us. She landed elegantly on her feet of course; no one can knock her on her back…except me, oh! Anyway, Seraphin jumped over the railing and I saw her huge, flaming sword arch down at Violet's head. She brought the blade down and I heard the clank of metal as Violet brought up her two daggers to block the attack.

"I told you already, I slept with him last night. He was in my room when I went in this morning and I laid with him." Violet said calmly and I could see the smirk on her face. Oh man…every time!

"How dare you!" Seraphin screamed and swung her huge sword in a side arch and Violet just back flipped over it with ease.

"That all you got flame princess?" She taughnted and I thought now would be a good time to step in. Seraphin brought the sword down in another arch, but this time it stopped far away from Violet.

"Seraphin can you please stop and let us go to school?" I asked and gripped the flaming sword in my hand even tighter.

"Ma…ma…Master! I'm so sorry sir…I'll go get my things right away." Her sword immediately de-flamed and she walked away with her head down.

"Hurry up now sweetie, I wouldn't want you getting left behind." I called out to her and she turned around and smiled at me. I always know just how to make her perk up. I watched her run up the stairs then turned to Violet, who was just standing there smiling at me.

"Why? Why do you always have to do that to her?" I asked. I wasn't really being all that serious, I really don't mind their fights, as long as they don't get hurt.

"I don't know." She shrugged, "I just felt like bragging about sleeping on you. You're really comfortable by the way." She winked and lightly punched me before running off to join the others. I just stood there and sighed. I really am the luckiest guy in the world. But then I remembered something really important. I remembered what was waiting for me at this new school.

"Rias…" I muttered under my breath. How could he ever expect me to even be friends with her, let alone marry her?

"Come on Master, let's get going." Seraphin called as she ran past me and grabbed my hand. She ran forward and pulled me out the front door and into the street.

It was a sunny early autumn day. The wind was blowing and it blew my black and red hair all over the place. The sky was clear and it just felt like a good day. But, I didn't feel that way. I was really scared. No doubt Rias heard about the engagement and such, so that means we are going to have a really awkward conversation when I get there. I sigh and the girls around me immediately freak out.

"Varian what's wrong?" Brittany asked as she latched onto my arm and looked into my eyes with her cute worried face.

"Nothing Brittany, nothing at all. Just a little tired you know." I responded and gave her a faint smile. I couldn't tell her the truth…I just couldn't. How bad would that go over? "Hey girls that love me, I'm engaged to this awful red haired devil who hates me." No!

"Master is that the school?" Aria asked as she and Ashlen worked their way to the front of the group with me.

"I believe it is." I said and looked to see a pretty big building in the distance. There were lots of kids walking towards it, and they were all wearing…uniforms? Awe man is it one of those schools!? We continued walking and passed over this small bridge in front of the main entrance. We walked through the main gate and looked up at the building.

It was a really big brick building. There were a lot of old gothic looking windows in every class room. Across the main yard in front of us were these big arches that marked the main entrance.

"Well are you girls ready to start school?" I asked and the girls around me cheered. Then I noticed the eyes. There were tons of guys starring at the girls and drooling. And there were even girls looking at me? Now, I'm not gonna lie; I'm pretty hot. My long red and black hair, my pale blue eyes, and my cute slash awkward demeanor made me to die for. But, this was way too many girls at once. It was a bit unnerving. But I just shrugged it off and started walking towards the main entrance. We entered the school and looked around at the open hall and the other students. The girls all pulled out their class sheets and started walking off.

"Hey Tera, Sara, I think our class is this way!" Aria called at the two pawns. And they walked off.

"Ashlen are we seriously together? That's awesome!" I turned around to see Brittany, Ashlen, and Violet hugging on each other and walking away together.

"Amy, Seraphin, the four of us have class together too!" Jasmin called out as she and Ella walked off with my last two servants. Which left me…alone.

"Oh great." I said out loud and looked at my sheet. I had no idea where the room was so I decided to ask someone for help. I looked around and saw a guy standing all alone and he had some seriously awesome brown hair, so I thought he would help me.

"Hey dude, would you mind helping me find my class. I'm new here." I asked him and he turned around and smiled.

"Sure man let me see the paper." He asked and I handed it to him.

"Dude you have the same class as me! How about I give you an escort my man?" He told me and nudged me with his elbow.

"Sure man that'd be awesome. So what's your name dude?" I laughed as I asked him. This kid came off as a serious fool, but a loveable one. I'm a pretty good judge of character so I'm confident about this one.

"My name is Issei Hyoudou, what's yours?" He asked and led me up the stairs towards the class room.

"Oh I'm Varian, Varian Blackflame. I know the last name is kinda freaky, just call me Varian." I told him and he chuckled.

"Sure thing Vary, whatever ya say my man. Here we are." We stopped suddenly outside a classroom. Issei reached out and opened the door. He was about to walk in but we suddenly heard a loud voice.

"Issei! Where are you?" A loud female voice called down the hall and Issei and I both looked in its direction.

"Oh no…not yet…" I muttered. Approaching us was none other than Sirzechs little sister, Rias Gremory.

"There you are!" She yelled and ran down the hallway before grabbing Issei's hand and pulling him against her. She stroked his head lovingly and whispered in his ear.

"And I thought you had disappeared already. I just got you as my pawn and now you're going to run away from me?" She teased him and continued to pet him. She didn't even notice me until I started to make an escape.

"Oh, who is this, a friend of yours Issei? He doesn't look like the perverts you normally hang out with." She asked and looked me over, puzzled.

"Oh I'm no one, don't mind me." I said and tried to quickly run into the class room.

"Oh his name is Varian Blackflame. He just transferred here. Vary, this is my friend Rias, Rias Gremory." He said with a confident smile and looked back and forth between us. I half smiled awkwardly and waved at her.

"Hey there Rias, long time no see right?" I said. I'm dying here man! I need help now! Her face was pure beliderment and anger at the same time.

"Var…Varian…why are you here?" She spoke with venom slipping through her teeth.

"Oh so your bro didn't tell you? Well it looks like you and I are…um…engaged." I said the last part really quickly and ran into the class room, attempting to get out of the blast radius.

"WHAT!?" She screamed and I slid under my desk like I was trying to hide from and earthquake.

Thanks Sirzechs…couldn't have made this easy could you.
