A.N.- Let the hypest tournament ever begin now!

The Third King of Kuoh Academy

Chapter 17

"Home sweet home." Brittany called from farther up the path. The other girls cheered as they continued on the rocky path towards our house. Why was I not cheering? Well you see…

"Aria, hurry up and bring the Master up here!" Seraphin yelled from her position beside Brittany. The two of them and Violet were standing at the edge of a cliff that overlooked our household. The beautiful girl, who was carrying me on her back, sighed before sprinting the remaining distance to the others. Why am I on her back as well? Good question…

"Sorry about the bumpy ride Master. You really shouldn't have let us caught you sleeping with Sara though." Aria teased as she pulled me off her back and laid me against a wall. I felt really weak and I had bruises all over my body. Don't let five super powered girls catch you sleeping with a loli, not the best idea.

"Don't apologize to him. He should have known what he was getting into when he slept with the little one instead of us." Brittany huffed and turned her back from me. If I wasn't fighting to stay conscious then I would be really hurt by that! "He deserved it." Brittany continued and Seraphin nodded in agreement. Not her too!

"Did you really have to throw him off the top floor of our house before he even woke up?" Violet asked with a giggle. Seriously though, I woke up and the first thing I saw was pavement! Thank Lucifer for devil healing.

"I thought it was funny. A little mean but funny." Aria chimed in. I just realized she was sitting next to me and clutching onto my arm. Seriously? You beat me up, carry me around like a baby, and now you're snuggling up to me? Not that I dislike the last two parts of it…

"Where are the others?" Seraphin asked impatiently and jumped up the rock face to look for the other members of our group. "I thought we told them no fighting until we started the tournament at home." She muttered as she gazed over the rocky path that lead to our house.

The Blackflame mansion is located in a very remote area of hell, far away from the big cities and the mansions of the larger families. Sirzechs found me and the girls a small valley hidden behind a massive, nearly impassable, rock face. We made do with what we had and built a fairly large house about three miles in from the start of the windy path through the mountains. We were currently on Fire Peak, well that's what we called it, and it's just a peak that overlooks all the land that I own.

"I think I see them. Man, they're really slow." Seraphin commented before jumping off the rock and landing in front of me. Okay, when I say jumping I meant back flipping like a boss. She doesn't do anything normally. I just looked up at her in awe and she winked at me. Of course she picks today to wear a miniskirt ugh…I'll never understand girls.

"What are they doing?" Brittany asked. Why is everyone so impatient to get home? I know it's great and all but seriously, we can wait a little longer, also I don't want to get up. Seraphin and Brittany continued to talk while Aria and Violet snuggled up to me. Wait…Violet! Why are they all taking advantage of my crippled form? Why do they have to look so cute when they want to cuddle? It's so hard to resist sometimes.

"The little ones are just messing around and Ashlen is carrying all the supplies. They're coming around the chasm so it shouldn't be too much longer." Seraphin explained and Brittany sighed.

"Does someone want to explain why it was a good idea to split up?" She asked. She sounded like a mom who had to keep up with a bunch of dumb teenage kids, which isn't too far from the truth actually. At least the blame isn't on me this time!

"Well Aria was carrying the Master and we wanted to run ahead and be alone with him and you were anxious to get home so we could all rest a bit and so Varian could recharge so…it's the Master's fault?" Violet asked and Brittany smiled at her while the others burst into a fit of giggles. Really? I gave Violet a "are you serious" face and she started laughing too. "Oh come on Master, I'm only kidding." She whispered and kissed my cheek.

"That's my girl. It's all his stupid fault." Brittany teased and shot some wind magic at my face. Woman you have hurt me enough today! Stop with that! The wind blew my hair back and cut across my cheeks. Why did I give the meanest one the most power?

"Don't be too mean Brittany. We still need him to watch the tournament and tell us his plan for beating that meanie Riser." Aria chimed in and pulled my head out of Brittany's range, which was between Aria's breasts. Of course it is. Where else would it be? Oh they're so big and safe!

"I guess you're right. Fine, I'll be nice to him for the rest of the day. He does love me after all." Brittany said and walked over to us, smiling happily. She sat between my legs and leaned her head against my chest. These girls are so wishy-washy it's crazy! And since when are hiking clothes this…sexual.

Brittany, Aria, Ashlen, and Seraphin were wearing extremely tight tank tops and different colored jackets to go with them, along with some really short shorts and tennis shoes. Violet, on the other hand, came prepared for the cold weather on the mountain and she was wearing a puffy purple sweatshirt that increased her cuteness factor by a thousand! Still…the others looked really nice…but nothing beats a puffy sweatshirt.

"Aria, would you smack him for looking down my shirt?" Brittany asked teasingly. Oh no! I didn't mean to look there. I was too busy thinking! But alas, Aria's dreaded "Flame Hand Smack" slapped across my face. OW! I whimpered quietly and rubbed my cheek.

"Stop being such a baby." Aria told me and started giggling. I looked at her and whimpered quietly and she squealed, which caught me a little off guard. "You look too cute right now!" She yelled and threw her arms around me. Cute? Well this is pretty nice. She pulled my head back into her cleavage and held me tightly. I mean, where else would I go?

"Aria what has gotten into you?" Violet asked curiously. I wish I could ask the same thing but I'm too busy enjoying booby heaven. (OW!) Seriously, that's the most lustful thought ever. How can that be holy in anyway? Stupid devil rules!

"He's just so cute and adorable like this. And I know he likes it, doesn't he Brittany?" Aria explained and Brittany nodded. Oh come on the fact that you are setting between my legs is not a good way to judge if I like it or not. I could just be looking at Aria's chest or legs or something.

"Oh wow, he really likes it now." Brittany commented. Damn it! Dumb teenage brain you betray me once again! Why can't the others just hurry up and get here all ready? I won't last much longer in this situation. I squealed and this time Violet yelped in reply.

"He is super cute! I get it now! Come here cutie…" She whispered and pulled me into a kiss. Oh wow…that was unexpected. I should stay quiet more often, this is wonderful!

"If you four are done, the others are coming around the corner right now." Seraphin told us angrily. Wow, I didn't even notice her. She seems really angry right now. Why do I get the feeling that she's going to fight Violet really hard? Ugh…property damage here we come.

"Why did you guys leave us so far behind!?" Amy complained as she and the others came into view. Her, Ashlen, Jasmin, Sara, Tera, and Ella all came around the corner and immediately starred at the pile of bodies surrounding me. Oh great…

"You left us behind so you could have the Master all to yourselves you big booby bimbos!" Amy and Tera yelled at the same time. I started laughing but the other girls had a different reaction. Violet starred laughing but it was her normal laugh. It's that scary laugh that used to haunt my nightmares when I first meet her. It's her angry laugh! However, the only ones to get up were Aria and Brittany, who scoffed as stood up to face the younger girls. Well this won't go well.

"What did you just say flat chest?" Aria asked. Oh no…can we at least get to the house first? Tera walked right up to her and the two banged their heads together.

"You heard me cow. You're trying to seduce the Master without competition! That's low." Tera responded and Aria growled at her. After Tera pushed against her forehead too hard, Aria stood up and the young girl fell forward into her chest.

"What are you doing?! Get off me kid!" Aria yelled and tried to push Tera out of her bosom. With both of them struggling, I'm pretty sure Tera got forced further in. The two continued to yell at each other and at this point, even Brittany and Amy had started their own yelling match. I couldn't contain my laughter anymore.

"What are you laughing at!?" They all yelled and my head fell onto Violet's laugh from my fit of laughter. The black haired girl blushed and stroked my hair while we watched the others continue to fight.

"Oh Master, there is never a moment of piece for you is there?" Violet asked and I shook my head. Her sweatshirt is really soft, purple looks really good on her too. Can we just stay like this? Maybe I can cancel the rating game and Riser won't be able to find me here.

"Stop fighting you four, let's just go home. " Ashlen chimed in and the others turned to glare at her. Ashlen…you really shouldn't get involved when they are like this.

"Stay out of this cow!" They all yelled and Ashlen's face fell. Awh, why did they have to be mean to her? They know she doesn't handle fighting well. Ashlen just sat the huge pack of our belongings down and sat at the foot of the peak, away from everyone. I mean, yeah she's the biggest out of all of the girls but she isn't a cow. You'd have to be a little large to have boobs that big!

I nudged Violet to let me up and she nodded and allowed me to get up and hobble over to Ashlen. Man walking sucks, they have never beat me up this bad before. I reached Ashlen and took a seat next to her, our feet dangled off the edge.

The sky was blood red and there was a bright white moon in the sky above us. The green valley below us looked so peaceful and perfect. The mountains seemed to be placed perfectly so that the view looked phenomenal. This beautiful piece of land is where we call home. Blackflame Mansion, located near the mountain of Black Ash, and Fire Peak. Simply beautiful.

"What's up Ashlen?" I managed. My voice was still kind of weak and I got light headed from talking. Who thought your own servants could beat you up so much. Didn't Ashlen break one of my ribs with her "Black Heart Punch" at one point? Eh, probably. Anyway…

"Why are they so mean to me?" She asked quietly. Ugh. She is such a sensitive, adorable, klutz. I put my arm around her and pulled her head onto my shoulder. She breathed in quickly, shocked but immediately blushed and nuzzled up to me.

"Don't worry about them, they don't really mean it. They're just fighting right now, so you shouldn't listen to them at all. I promise that everyone here loves you Ashlen, now how about you, me, and Violet go home and leave them here." I said and winked at her. The blonde giggled and stood up.

"Sure thing Master. Thank you." She said quickly before walking away. She didn't get far before I grabbed her wrist. She turned around slowly and looked at me curiously as I used her to help me get to my feet.

"One more thing…" I muttered and pulled the girl close to me. Her body pushed against mine and I pushed her chin up and our eyes meet. "You know I love you too right? I haven't told you one on one yet but the feelings are there. I just wanted you to know that." I explained and Ashlen blushed and started to grow misty eyed. She shook her head quickly and small tears flew away from her.

"Thank you…thank you so much Varian." She responded and leaned in slowly. Didn't really expect to get kissed at all or have a moment like this today, considering how I was woken up this morning. Our lips collided and we stood on the peak kissing until the others noticed. They turned slowly and saw us kissing lovingly with the moon shining right behind us.

"I should be mad but…it looks so perfect." Aria commented. I turned away from the kiss to see that she was looking up at us while holding Tera in a headlock. I sweat dropped and sighed before hobbling back over to Violet.

"Let me help Master." Ashlen said quickly and threw my arm over her shoulders. Awh, she's such a sweet heart sometimes. I nodded and we started off towards the mansion. "Hey Aria, I got the Master. You go on and get the bags okay?" Ashlen called back. I could tell she was loving this and boy is Aria going to be really mad later.

"Oh nice one Blondie! Don't think that I don't see through your plan!" She yelled back and the others started giggling around her. "What are you laughing about?" She yelled at them and released Tera from her headlock.

"You've never seen through a plan in your life." Brittany commented as she and Amy fell on the ground laughing. I'm glad those two aren't fighting anymore at least. But I think they may have just sent Aria over the edge a bit.

"Yea, you're too stupid for that." Tera chimed in and Aria glared at her. The Rook's eyes were a scary red and her face was black and menacing.

"Wanna say that again Tom Boy?" She said angrily and the brown haired rock girl shot up quickly. The two were pressing foreheads again and glaring at each other. Wow…there aren't set rivals are there? One minute it's Seraphin and Violet, the next it's Aria and Tera. Girls are silly.

"What you call me?" Tera yelled and pushed against the older girl even more.

"You heard me! What you gonna do about it?" Aria taunted and grabbed onto Tera's head. The young pawn started swinging her arms and running at her but Aria was holding her at bay easily. Where have I seen this before?

"Come on you two, let's just follow the Master." Ella suggested and got a nod from Violet and Jasmin. But just those two…all the others were too busy yelling to notice. Well…Sara and Seraphin weren't yelling but they really weren't paying much attention either. They were both leaning against the wall and muttering about how stupid the others were. And I'm pretty sure Sara was complaining about them taking her Master away this morning. Wow…never knew she really cared.

"Hurry up you guys, don't want to be late getting home now do we?" I yelled up at them. Ashlen, Violet, Ella, Jasmin, and myself had finally reached the bottom of the stone ramp and we were waiting on the others.

"How about we settle this with a race!?" Ahri yelled and pushed against Tera again. Wow…they are yelling really loudly now. Wonder what Amy and Brittany are doing? Probably laughing too hard to even stand. And Sara and Seraphin are probably to annoyed to want to come down.

"Fine by me! First one to get to the Master wins." Tera yelled back and the two girls shot off in a flash.

Aria used her small bit of fire magic to cover her legs with it and rocket down the ramp. Tera was barely keeping up with the older girl as they flew down the mile long ramp towards us. Wow…if these girls thought I was the prize for everything I wonder how much they could accomplish.

"No way I'm letting you win!" Tera yelled and held out her hand. All of a sudden, Aria fell into a pit that Tera made from her Earth magic. Oh no…she's going to be so angry when she gets out. "I win!" Tera yelled as she reached the bottom of the ramp and jumped into the air.

"Tera…no no…no no no! Wait!" I yelled but the girl didn't hear me. She fell out of the sky and tackled me. "Ugh. That sucked." I whined as I pushed myself up to a setting position. Tera was still sitting on my chest and smiling at me.

"Did I do good Master? By the way, I never got to ask you but do you like my shorts?" She asked happily and I face palmed. Since when does she care about clothing? Can I just go sleep please?

"You did great. But uh…since when do you care about how you look?" I asked and Tera frowned a little. She put her hand on her chin and looked up at the sky, pondering my question.

"I'm not sure. Maybe Aria got to me when she called me a Tom Boy. Who knows?" She said happily. Well it's a good thing nothing can bring her down. She's so happy-go-lucky all the time, it's infectious.

"Did you seriously drop me into a pit you little tramp!?" Aria yelled as a loud explosion echoed through the valley. The ramp had exploded at the base and Aria was walking out of the rubble. Did she force her way through the bottom of the ramp? Oh no…Tera please get off me before she hits me too!

"What of it bimbo!? I won fair and square, now get lost!" Tera yelled back and I started crying. I'm going to die. I'm going to die so hard and it's gonna hurt really bad. Tera please stop taunting her.

"There's no way am I letting you get away with that! We are fighting right now. This can be the first round of the tournament. Varian! Let us fight please?" Aria yelled and I gave a thumbs up. Please let Tera get off me before you start swinging.

"Fine by me." Tera said happily and stood up. Phew. I sighed in relief and sat up as the two girls walked into a clearing in front of the front door. Violet and Ashlen sat down beside me and the others that hadn't come down yet stopped about halfway down the ramp. This should be good.

"You first Tom Boy. I'll let you get the first hit in." Aria said cockily. Hasn't she played Pokémon? Doesn't she know that Rock beats Fire? She should get the first hit.

"Alright then, here I come." Tera yelled and slammed her fists into the ground under her. She pulled them out and her entire arms were completely covered in black rock. Obsidian? She must be serious then. Tera yelled before sprinting the distance towards Aria.

The two girls meet and Tera started swinging her fists. She punched at Aria's face but the Rook was able to duck since the rock covering slowed her speed. Aria countered with a flame covered uppercut, but Tera transferred the obsidian rock to her face just in time. The small brown haired girl used the force of the punch to back flip and slam her rock covered fists into the ground.

The ground in front of her exploded upwards and spikes shot up in a row towards Aria. The Rook immediately countered by covering her leg in a bright hellfire and spinning. Aria jumped into the air and spun around while her flame covered leg broke through the rock spikes. She landed in a crouched position as the broken rock spikes fell around her.

"I think it's my turn. DEMON FIRE!" She yelled and her entire body started to glow a dark green and black. She shot forward and her sickly green aura turned into green flames as she brought her fist back to punch Tera. The rock pawn flinched at the sight of the oncoming demon flame, but she was able to regain her composer in time to defend.

"PLATINUM WALL!" Tera yelled and held her hands in front of her. A metallic colored magic circle appeared in front of her and a huge metal wall appeared in front of her. Aria's fist slammed right into the platinum wall with a huge explosion. The girl kicked off the wall and smirked, ready to see a huge hole in the younger girl's defense. But her face fell when the only thing she saw was her green flames licking at a seemingly untouched wall.

"Now let's see how you like this." Tera whispered and two magic circles appeared on the huge metal wall. Suddenly two metal pillars in the shape of fists shot out towards Aria. The Rook jumped over the first one but the other caught her square in the stomach while she was floating in mid air. Aria flew a few feet and the fist slammed her into the ground.

"ROCK PIT!" Tera yelled and the fist turned to brown rock and formed a wall around the hole Ahri was in. I heard the Rook scream from inside as she punched at the walls of the hole she was trapped in. "I think I win." Tera sang happily but sadly, the fight wasn't over.

"FIVE FLAME DEATH PUNCH!" Aria yelled from inside the rock pit. All of a sudden, a huge multicolored light exploded from the top of the wall surrounding her pit. Black, Green, Red, Blue, and Yellow. Five different fires. Well, guess it's a good thing I taught her that. She really is my servant isn't she?

"Oh come on…" Tera muttered as the rock wall exploded and Aria emerged, her body covered in flames. "Just lose already! SEA OF SWORD SPIKES!" Tera yelled and slammed her fists into the ground again. She pulled her fists out of the ground and now she had two metal sword blades instead of fists, but she had also unleashed a row of metal spears towards Aria. The spears jutted out of the ground in a wide arch toward the flaming Rook.

"HELL'S DEMON FLAME!" Aria yelled and brought both her hands above her head. Orange, black, and green flames started to form circles around her and a growing light appeared in her hands. "TIER ONE, EXPLOSIVE BLAST!" She continued and brought her open hands to her chest, unleashing a green and black blast towards Tera. The sea of spears were decimated and the Rook began to press her attack.

"TIER TWO, FISTS OF UNDYING FIRE!" She yelled and jumped into the air, her hands above her head. Tera smirked and jumped into the air as well, her sword arms crossed in an "X" block. Aria brought both her fists back and slammed them against the sword blades, causing a huge explosion. Tera was launched backwards and slide on her feet across the ground. She regained her footing and brought her sword arms once again, just in time to accept Aria's flurry of super charged punches. Tera's swords started to crack and break before she could even swing back.

"ROCK SHEILD!" Tera yelled and her body encased itself in the rock from the ground beneath her. Aria continued with her onslaught of punches as Tera prepared to counterattack. "SWORD ARM ATTACK, SHREDDER!" The pawn yelled and threw her arms out, pushing Ahri's away. She immediately followed by quickly bringing her arms behind her and twisting her legs. Suddenly she was nothing more than a spinning vortex of blades. Aria brought her arms up and was barely able to keep Tera from slicing through her fire wall and into her skin. Aria was eventually sent flying backwards due to the intensity of Tera's tornado, and the pawn was quick to attack again.

"ROCK FIST!" She yelled and held out her hand. A piece of the rock face flew away from it and slammed into Ahri, who was still falling. The Rook was slammed into the walls on the other end of the valley. "Did I win yet?" Tera asked, out of breath and tired.

"Hell no!" Aria yelled and the a part of the rock face she'd been smashed into exploded. "TIER THREE: HELL'S DEMON VOLCANO!" She screamed and flew towards the ground, her arms held back once again. When she hit the ground this time, nothing happened for a few moments. Tera just looked around, confused as Aria shakily rose to her feet. "Bye bye Tom Boy." She taunted before falling to her feet.

Seconds later the ground beneath Tera started to glow green and black and exploded all at once. About a fifty meter circle around Tera suddenly turned into a dark green beam of fire. Aria had unleashed a massive amount of demon fire into the ground and it had all exploded underneath Tera. The huge volcanic explosion sent the young pawn into the air and burnt her body completely. Tera screamed before fading into unconscious and eventually falling to the ground after the fire well died down. Just before she was about to fall in the pit the beam had created, Brittany caught her with wind magic and laid her down beside an unconscious Aria.

"Wow…" I muttered as we all walked over to the two unconscious girls. Riser's so dead. Like…no joke. "Were they holding back?" I asked, not sure what else to say. The only answer I got was the rest of the older girls laughing.

"I'm pretty sure they were. Aria had like two more tiers to go and Tera didn't use half of her weapon arsenal." Violet explained and Brittany nodded. I didn't realize I'd given them so much power. And to think…they'd practiced this stuff everyday when we were living here. I would expect more holes.

"So who won?" Seraphin asked and the other girls looked at me. I rubbed the back of my head and looked at the two beaten up bodies. I hope we still have healing supplies in the house. Good thing they didn't go all out. Tera does look pretty banged up though.

"I'd have to say Aria won. She may be unconscious but that's just from her own spell. Tera's the one who got decimated by it. Also, they both knew what to expect so if they were fighting an unknowing enemy then…wow." I explained and the other girls nodded. "Hey Violet, can you run inside and try to find some healing supplies?" I asked and I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Don't worry Master. I can handle it." My blue haired bishop explained. I'd forgotten that Jasmin specializes in using water and ice magic to heal. Good thing we have her!

"Make sure you tell her she won as soon as she wakes up. I'm sure she'll be dying to know." Brittany told me and I nodded. Of course she will. No one has as much fire in their heart as she does. Haha, fire, get it?

"So who's next?" I asked and the other girls sighed. Why do they look so tired?

"We don't really want to fight right now. Can we just go home and relax for a little bit? We have all day today and tomorrow to train." Brittany told me and the other girls nodded.

"Besides, I'd rather fight at night." Violet explained and I laughed.

"Don't you do everything better at night?" I asked jokingly. Violet smirked and started to strut towards me.

"I bet you'd like to find out how good I am at night." She whispered and leaned in close before an arm grabbed her.

"No way! You don't get to flirt with the Master until you've beaten me!" Seraphin yelled and pulled the chill, flirty Knight away from me. I wonder what she meant by that.

"Shall we go inside and let Jasmin get to work?" Brittany asked and held out her hand for me to take. I looked back at the two unconscious girls before nodding and taking her hand.

"Of course. Hey Brittany…" I started and my Queen looked at me with a smile. "Riser has no idea what he's getting into does he?" I asked and Brittany responded by kissing my cheek.

"No way. There is no way any of us are going to lose to a pampered mutt like him that only relies on his immortality." She told me and I smiled. The immortality part is my problem. The girls won't be fighting Riser, that's my job. I just have to believe that if you hit anything enough times, you can kill it. Makes sense right?

"Come on you two! We're finally home! Let's go break out the Xbox!" Violet yelled and the younger girls cheered in agreement. Brittany and I laughed as we entered the home we'd left what felt like years ago.

"Oh it's good to be back." I cheered.
