Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!

DocSlendy; Indeed, canon preparation has been completed!

War historian; Yeah, maybe she will happen to be that. Ooh yeah, they'll be having that in the future. And that would be quite the scenario to do.

Harem Master123; Yup, a new chapter indeed! And here's another one! Well, at that age, it wasn't shown much how strong Vali was, but Zenki has been shown to fight quite well for his age, which has improved during the time from then, to now. And cool suggestions!

Hellspam; I'm glad that you did! I'm glad you did, I like writing scenes between them, they have quite a bit in common, after all, with their shared hatred for their Father's, somewhat at least on Zenki's part. Hehe, here's the first chapter of them being in Kuoh! I could actually see that happening, when they confront one another. And yeah, Zenki would say something like that to make Issei stronger. Even if he'll like Vali at that point, he'd want the fighting to stop, and anyway possible would be better.

Blue Eyes Pendulum Dragon; They are quite aggressive, and now that they are of appropriate age, it seems like everything is going to get…well, it will be shown this chapter. Exactly. He does have power, but he tackles life like it was a challenge, like a question that needed to be solved, and it is the same for fighting. He's different to Issei like that, who goes guns blazing. Zenki takes time to analyse, and if possible, study beforehand and see what he can and can't do against the enemy. Yeah, seems like it, huh. Well, Vali has always had a slight fetish for backsides, even canon Vali did, however slight that maybe. Exactly, he doesn't want the girls he likes to be depressed, he's a good guy like that. He indeed did kiss Kuroka, and let's find out what happens now hehe! Yeah, he's a slight one, I guess.

Master of Dragons God; Thank you!

BlueBlade87; It certainly did! I had a pretty average Christmas, nothing really big happened, just the usual family gathering and such. I'm glad that you liked it! Yeah, I just figured that Vali would be like that at that age, and then some other guy comes along and shows her that it is fine to be humble, yet strong as well. That would be a pretty cool idea to have, thanks for the suggestion! That would be quite, funny to see, and I could see Koneko doing something like that.

Gabriel790; Thanks!

RangerElk76; It is a great way to die though, isn't it? Hehe, I think so anyway~

ShadowUzumaki55; He surely did manage to come through in the end, didn't he? And I'm happy that you did! It wasn't so much as teasing, as Vali actually believing that he does have a fetish for girls like that, which he does. They will do, hehe~ You never know with Illuyanka, she could've done it many times beforehand. Yup, and in this chapter, you'll see how closer they are than the last chapter. Exactly, he hasn't been able to rely on others in the past, and even when he did gain a peerage, he wanted to protect them, look after them, and even for as smart as he is, he couldn't see that they want to help him as much as he wants to help them.

ShadeAkami; Yup, new chapter indeed! And here's another one! Indeed, it was quite action packed, both fighting, and romantic actions. He might awaken something like that in the future against stronger enemies like the Evil Dragon's and such. Yeah, I wanted to show that Zenki isn't perfect, he can't connect with everyone straight away, something Issei shows in this chapter, and Aika to an extent. Serafall, and her weirdness. She's always worried someone might try and take her Zenki-tan away. Yeah, she met Gabriel seeing Zenki and her conversing. She was making plans, but it got derailed when Kuroka and Akeno got a little…rambunctious is the word I'd use. Gabriel, she'll be coming back into the story relatively soon. I can't say exactly when, but she won't be out for much longer. Best way to die, covered by girls with large breasts. Yeah, he does have the balls to stand against Azazel, and he'll be doing more of it in the future when time comes around for strong people to show up. Well, I am glad that you did like it, and they were only 13 when they did it. Most 13 year olds that I know would be displeased with losing, and it will show Vali to not underestimate people, some character growth. Hehe, Vali and her fetish for Zenki's butt. Was it that descriptive? I didn't realize. Exactly, no one can replace Akeno in Zenki's life, they have a bond like he doesn't with any of the others. It does seem like that is a popular opinion amongst my fans, and I can see why people think it would be a good idea. I am considering it deeply, and weighing up the options, like I have done for the others, and seeing how they would bond in scenarios in my head. You know, I could go on all day about how some of the people in Issei's canon harem don't make sense (Rossweisse, Koneko, Le Fay and even Elmenhilde which came out of nowhere really, to name a few) but all I can say is, the reason given in the story is because Issei saved her after saying some nice things to her, from what I can remember, and have read. Is it weak? Probably, but that's left to peoples opinions if they think it is or not, I think it is, but that's my personal opinion and everyone's entitled their own opinions, right? But that's what we're given, and I guess that the author wanted all of Rias' female members to be apart of Issei's harem, even if some don't make that much sense. The Pendragon's shall be introduced quite soon. I'm thinking around volume 2/3, haven't decided just yet. I've planned out how Le Fay is going to join his peerage, but haven't decided when yet. Team Vali is going to continue existing, whether that be in Khaos Brigade or not, is a spoiler. And thanks!

Dragonsaiyanblue; Yup, the intro arc is over! Though it ran a little longer than I thought, it was important for world building, Zenki's peerage building, which was something that needed to happen so it didn't come out of anywhere. Hehe, you'll have to read and see how Zenki is, though he isn't going to change all that much from when he was 13 years old. They surely do seem to be like that, don't they? Yeah, poor Ravel, being called Peppa Pig by pretty much everyone barring Zenki and Asia. In the future, he'll become strong like that. heck, Issei has pretty much become that in canon by now, so someone who's trained for years like Zenki, should be able to reach that level, even thanks to his genes in part. And that would be quite funny to see, those Maou Rangers. Well, if you do, I can't wait to see what you create. That's what fanfiction is for, unleashing your imagination. And thanks, you too!

Silver Crow; Hehe, I see~ Yeah, it kinda makes sense for that to happen. You're right, she could be able to make those with just being close to Zenki, his natural energies being drawn into Akeno and give her that ability. Without looking it up, I can't remember what it is called either. Yeah, for people like Rias and Sona who are prided by training their servants, they don't seem to train themselves all that much. Seekvaira, I haven't decided upon yet. Haha, yeah, seems like she likes the butt~ It leaves a little window open, to see if there could be anything, or not. That Serafall and her trying to turn Gabriel into a tyrant, she really can't do something like that~ Well, he hasn't seem them, just yet, only cloth covered. But he'll see the real breasts in the future. I'm glad you liked those two bonding with Zenki, and yeah, that affair is going to be starting~ Lap war is going to be quite funny, can't wait to write it. It will be shown how tall he is in this chapter as a teen. He ain't gonna be taller than tall, but he isn't going to be dead small either. Kuroka knew that, she wasn't being dead serious about people having better DNA, she was trying to show that even if better came along, she's in love with Zenki, and wouldn't leave him for anyone else. And you never know who he might be related too~ In the future, he'll be able to stand up with top tier people, he's going to be quite strong, by working his ass off, and with help from his peerage, after all. And yeah, I know what you meant, no worries. You're right, he'll be adding quite strong DNA into the Nekoshou world. And that does seem quite awesome. Hehe, that would be quite surprising. Lilith will exist, I can't say if it is going to go down like in canon or not, but she will exist. Lavina would be awesome as well, she's quite cool, no pun intended. And no, don't feel like that, I always love suggestions! You never know, she might be like that in the future, thinking Zenki is a perfect rival/husband.

You're exactly right in your analysis. He doesn't want to be compared to Diodora, and calling him someone trying to build a peerage of holy girls is like a kick in the teeth. Though he does have a fetish for them, it's nothing like Diodora's. Yeah, he's still attracted to non holy girls, like Kuroka, Akeno and Koneko to name a few. It was quite the sweet scene. Koneko, she's got her lap, and she won't allow anyone to ever take her lap from her. No, Zenki isn't like that to trade, unless his peerage member really wanted to go, and if the other person was very kind as a King, like Rias, or Sona. He'd be unsure of it, but for the happiness of his peerage, he'd probably reluctantly do it, though fortunately, he didn't have to trade her away. Valerie is going to be quite interesting, and yeah, I saw that myself a few chapters, but it just shows that he's got a healing team that can kick all sorts of ass. Her Sacred Gear shall be shown somewhat on how it can be used in this chapter, more of it to come in the future. Zenki doesn't really need a Sacred Gear, he's got his demonic power, his Dragon powers, and his intelligence to mix them together, plus he could always invent something to aid him in his fights. Though, one of his members gaining Incinerate Anthem would be awesome. And indeed, getting the three holy relics would be pretty cool for his peerage. I don't know about Zenki gaining them himself, but his peerage members like Kuroka, Irina or even Jeanne could gain one of them and make them stronger. Cool suggestion! And here's the update!

Yeah, I am planning to rewrite it sometime, dunno when though, not far into the future anyway. It might be basic, yet it can be quite diverse to say the least. Yeah, I thought that with water king, a lightning queen would be the best way to go, just imagine their combinations, it would be awesome. Being able to flood, or freeze, the world would be awesome. I don't see why he wouldn't be able to do that, with Serafall and ice, she'd happily teach her little bro things like that, if he had the talent, which he will. Those are some interesting ideas, and even Kushia would be a new one, since she is never used, you're right about that. I like the others as well, Rossweisse would be cool, as would Le Fay and Irina, I could see Vali being there as well. And those seem cool as well, I like them! The same for the harem! No worries, I liked reading your thoughts. Those would be cool, and that does sound quite cool, actually. At least I could see Serafall being fine with it. Haha, no worries~

Stormwolf; I am thinking about it. I'm more yes than no right now with regards to that as I've heard some quite compelling arguments.

Guest 1; Exactly, water King and lightning Queen would be awesome. I don't know about Issei being a girl though. Obviously I'm not against it, it would just be a little, I dunno. I do plan on doing a story where Issei is a girl, and the main in the harem of that oc, but that won't be out for a little while yet.

MasterSythe; Well, thank for the praise, I'm glad that you like the way it is going. Well, he was essentially a child when Kuroka began coming onto him, and it would be difficult for any child/preteen to not be embarrassed in such a situation. He's a teenager now though, and isn't as shy as he was when a child, though some is still present sometimes.

Guest 2; I could imagine Zenki actually getting in contact with Griselda in order to say something to her, and have her come and support Xenovia, not realizing what he had done until she came, and did what she could do. Yeah, I can see that happening as well with Irina. Irina inheriting Incinerate Anthem, that would be interesting.

Neonlight01; Thanks, glad that you did! And yeah…Illuyanka probably has done something like that before. It's more like Zenki has gotten used to it by now, and he did in the end want to prove himself, and his strength. Exactly, it was to show that there are people stronger, and even more humble about winning, wanting to show a kindness that Vali didn't really receive when growing up, apart from certain people. You could say it like that, considering what he was into. I thought that would be a funny moment to throw in, showing how Koneko has dominance over that lap, it being hers, and if it was her choice, it was hers alone. You're right about that, Zenki doesn't know how to rely on people, he's never been able to do that before.

Ryuujin96; Thanks, glad that you liked it! Yeah, Kuroka and Koneko are in the same peerage, and will have quite the relationship. He's going to be doing that in the future as well. With Kuroka involved, it is going to be interesting to say the least~

Lightwave; Yeah, he's been able to make a connection with her, which is more explored in this chapter. Of course, he's willing to do anything for them. He got the shit kicked out of him for Asia, and was willing to die, and that was before she turned into a Devil. It will be shown what else he's willing to do for them when their personal arcs come along, and shows them how much he does love them. She wasn't happy about losing, but it will be shown that she doesn't care as she got older, giving her something to strive for. She surely does have a little fetish for his butt. Well, he doesn't like Diodora, and having a fetish like him isn't going to be a good thing for him to admit.

Guest 3; You know, it probably is like that anyway, seeing how both Jeanne and Asia think Zenki has a pure heart, Jeanne calling him the white hearted Devil, and Asia mistaking him for an Angel.

Alpha Omega; Thanks, thanks, and thanks! He's willing to do anything for them, he'd even die to keep them safe, which is going to be shown in the future. It's Illuyanka, you never know what she's going to be doing. It is a start indeed, and this chapter shows how close they are now. Really? You're surprised? He might not have a Longinus, but he's got his intelligence, and as Illuyanka said, her recklessness, which combined is a very dangerous thing indeed. He really never is going to be comfortable with it, just wait until Irina and Xenovia join his peerage. Kuroka can be surprisingly sweet when it comes to Zenki and knows him, having spent a number of years with him by this point in the story. And here's the next chapter!

Guest 4; Yeah, I am thinking about it, and probably will do it when I get the right muse for it. Issei being a girl in that story, I dunno, though I will be doing one with Issei (girl) as main in a future story I have planned. A fear of women though, that would be quite funny to witness. I do have to say.

Skull Flame; Yeah, but it isn't always power, ya know? Zenki used his brain, Vali was overconfident when she saw that he was weakened thanks to her Sacred Gear. As they say, a wounded animal can do amazing things, or something akin to that. Yeah, seems like inspiration was took from there, huh. Yeah, and in this chapter, it will show the closeness of him, and all of his peerage. You're right, and Zenki knew that, and was able to help with the Sephiroth's Graal. Those two gotta have that bonding, and it is quite, harsh, but Ravel is going to get her own back in the future. And finally thank you, and a Merry late Christmas, and a Happy New Year to you too!

AndroSid93; Thanks, I'm glad that you liked it! Yeah, he's gonna be more involved, particularly with some of Zenki's peerage members. Yeah, I had to throw that in there somewhere, ya know? They were needed, and they were delivered, as well, I believe~ I liked what happened anyway. They'll be introduced quite soon. Well, he's still a major character. He might not be the protagonist (Zenki) but that doesn't mean he isn't going to involved at all. The main focus is on Zenki, and his peerage. Each of them have different roles, and sometimes, Zenki might not even be that relevant in some parts of the story, when it concerns some other characters going on. You'll see soon enough either way~ Here's the update!

Cf96; Thank you!

StecV; Well, I'm always happy to get new readers, it always brings a smile to my face when my stories make people happy, or otherwise have positive feelings, and I am glad you're checking the others out as well. Yeah, Rias and Zenki are quite good at being, friends and such. Yeah, that's one of the things that I am aiming for, to develop each of the girls, and not make them one note. I've actually got arcs for each of them, like Le Fay, Jeanne, Valerie, and others as well. Don't worry about that, Ravel is going to be getting some hugs and cuddles, and even special types of cuddles in the future~ Hehe, there's no worries here, I won't be getting like that, trust me. Well, that brings a smile to my face, I am happy that I have made you happy, and having another follower is great! I appreciate everyone that does follow me, fav me, reviews me and so on. It's one of the best things about writing, people showing their appreciation for your work. And best wishes to you as well!

LL; Well, Zenki is relatively the same as he was last chapter, he has flaws, he has strengths, and weaknesses. He progresses as a character, he fails, he succeeds, he could be classed as pretty human (as much as a Devil could be at least), with the aforementioned flaws and other things that makes a character, a character. He'll be 17 this chapter, and yeah, after around 6 years together, he might get flustered, but less so than before. And Issei is, who he is. He might get jealous, he did with Riser's Harem, and they're the same age, Zenki isn't younger than Issei. In fact, they're even in the same class together, for reasons which might seem quite apparent. I could actually see Jeanne doing something like that.

Guest 5; A drunk Asia, that would be so hilarious, I might just have to put it in somewhere. Asia acting like Akeno would be funny, and awkward at the same time, I love it!

Guest 6; I'll probably do it, eventually, I haven't decided when though. The power of water and ice, it would be quite awesome to say the least. I could see him doing that at a later date, it would be an awesome trick to use. Those suggestions look pretty awesome to me, I like them.

Well, with those lovely reviews out of the way, it is time to start the chapter!


Kuoh, the Academy

"Mmmmmmm…noooooo…"

"Ara Zenki-chan, it's time to awaken now, so you can have intercourse with me~"

A sweet voice called to the green haired boy on the bed…which was massive.

The bed itself was able to hold well over ten people. It was natural for the boy to have a bed like that, as every peerage member slept in his room. Even if they had their own room, they always crowded together in his room, and they all made sure to latch onto Zenki, no matter the body part.

The room itself was decorated in bright colours. Most predominately, the colour green reined supreme.

The area around his bed had different patterns on them, all being scientific in nature. Since Zenki was practically a scientist now, he always had something like that around.

But it also had normal things a boy his age would love. A games console, a few of them, and a large television. There was a station where he would be able to work on experiments that he had. Strange coloured liquids were on there, and no one other than Zenki knew what they really did. Even Valerie wasn't in the knowhow on what it was doing.

"Noooo…I don't want to wake up…"

The boy moaned, and that boy was…

Zenki Astaroth.

Since the age of thirteen, he had grown into a different young man. He had grown in height, being now just 5 foot, something that Kuroka loved to play with, enjoying to embarrass him, mock him, anything that would make things fun for her.

Though he was only like literally an inch smaller than Asia, Kuroka played it up and said he was smaller than he actually was.

His hair had grown out a little bit since then as well. It wasn't overly long, but it did go past his chin. The back had been spiked slightly, naturally overtime. The ahoge on the top of his head stuck up, and twitched with his feelings. His bangs framed his face quite well, showcasing his bright eyes, something that the girls liked.

"Zenki-chan, you have to wake up now my adorable Zenki-chan nyaaa~ Wanna have some fun Zenki-chan nyaaaa~? I think that we'd be able to have some awesome fun nyaaa~ We can have some fun can't we nyaaa? Allow you to slip yourself inside of me and release from the head, that penis that I've desired for so long."

Another cute meow glistened in the young boys ear, so he stirred on the bed, and his eyes opened to meet Kuroka's cat eyes. They shined brightly as the locked onto the boys eyes, and he looked her over, seeing how she had grown in the years.

Time, had been very kind to her. She had certainly grown in the breast area. He'd guess that they were in the 90's for cm's, yet he wasn't going to complain about that. Her overall look had gotten more sexy with age.

She even wore sexy clothing now. She wore clothes that barley contained anything, and that's when she went out. When she was at his home, their home, she wore only panties, and a bra if she felt like it. But right now, she had forgone the bra and only stood there in her panties.

His face tinged pink when he stared into her eyes, and as he was about to say something, she captured his lips in a fiery kiss, burning the sensation of her lips onto his own, entangling their tongues straight away.

Kuroka didn't mess around anymore. he was of age, he was willing (at least his body, his mind was another thing all together) and she was more than ready to do anything with him. She'd even do really dirty stuff to gain his affections, she wasn't above that.

She forced his body downwards, and straddled him. Her hips locked with his own, ripping the shirt he had open to reveal his chest. The chest of a man who had been working out. He wasn't overly muscular like Sairaorg, but it was a type of body that suited him the most.

Zenki's eyes met hers as sparks danced between them, entangling one another. Zenki's hand nervously touched her shoulder, attempting to push her off so he could speak, but she attentively took his hand, and placed it on her breast, the hand of his sinking in.

Kuroka giggled dirtily into his mouth, enticingly leaning her upperbody down so they pressed against his chest, her boobs that is. Since they were huge now, they felt like cushions on his chest, he could feel the areola hardening on his torso, between his fingers where his remaining hand was held in place.

Kuroka broke the kiss, and looked downwards, feeling his erection poking her lower lips, the sensation of wetness being evident in his mind right now. It was the same for Kuroka, who felt his arousal, and was pleasantly surprised, happy, and in the picture of a perfect morning.

"Nyaaaaaa! That was a good thing Zenki-chan~ Your kissing has improved since the first one~"

Zenki smiled softly, taking her hips and lifting her off him. Her body was placed next to his own, as he sat up, and looked towards her, Kuroka immediately going under the sheets and resting her head on his chest, a hand on his crotch.

"Kuroka-tan, you've surely become naughty since then. You didn't have to mount me."

She snickered, and gently rubbed him from under the sheets. Back when he was a child, he'd have scolded her for it. But now…well, he learned to accept it, for the most part. While it was still embarrassing for her to do something like that, even if he somewhat accepted it.

"I did Zenki-chan, I wanted to have a little fun with Zenki-chan early in the morning. I wanted to feel Zenki-chan's penis and how much it had grown."

"From what, since yesterday?"

He deadpanned, recalling how Kuroka 'accidently' cornered him in the shower, and groped him for quite a while.

Kuroka smirked, rubbing again with her delicate fingers.

"Exactly nyaaa. I had fun yesterday, though you're still being adorable, and won't let me play with your penis when it is obvious to everyone that I am going to be playing with it sooner or later nyaaa~ There's no need to be so cute nyaaaa~ We can take it nice and slow, where you can slowly slide inside, and then allow my walls to do the rest, and then at the end, a few times at the end, you can release some of that white seed I am craving for from your member."

He didn't know what to say as a response, merely looking directly into her eyes.

"Nee-sama is a pervert like always."

Koneko came into the room, her eyes hardened into a small glare for her elder sister.

Since the years, Koneko had grown taller as well.

While she didn't have a body like her elder sister, she had developed more cuteness and other things like that. Her body was small, but not so small that she couldn't have children or anything of the kind. She had grown her bangs longer than before, and always stayed in her Nekomata form, unless they went out to the humans and such.

She was wearing the Kuoh Academy school uniform, the skirt that was red and black, the white shirt and with a black bow tied at the top. A single hairclip of a cat styled her hair to the side. The Rook piece that Zenki had given her long ago still hung from her neck, a sign of her love and dedication to him.

"Ara Shirone. You're dressed for some schooling fun nyaaa?"

Koneko strolled over, and got onto the bed, getting into a sideways hug with Zenki.

"…Zenki-senpai is my King after all…and you won't even attend school…"

"I do nyaaa!"

She argued, but Koneko had hard eyes.

"You turn into a cat, and then sit on Zenki-senpai's lap all of the time. When does that include going to a school?"

Telling her straight, Koneko's eyes hardly focused on in the girl before her. Kuroka didn't seem bothered though, and shifted to cat form. She turned into a fluffy black cat, falling onto Zenki's crotch, snuggling in sweetly.

Zenki rolled his eyes and stood from the bed, and got dressed. Koneko watched him getting dressed, accustomed to seeing him naked, even the entire peerage were, but it didn't mean that they didn't like seeing him naked, and vice versa.

Once he was dressed, he and Koneko walked out along with Kuroka on top of his head in cat form, opened out to the large hallways. Left and right, there were many ways to go. Doors of all kinds happened to be along the room, each filled with bedrooms that were…well, they were only used when Zenki said he wanted to be alone…and that never happened, the girls wouldn't allow it.

To the right of the stairs that descended downwards and upwards in a spiralling motion, was an elevator. Since the house was huge, over 6 stories upwards, and went down a few stories as well, they opted to have an elevator for all of them to use at their leisure.

Deciding to take the stairs, Koneko grasped Zenki's hand tightly, showing her dominance over her elder sister who rested on the top of his head in her cat form, her preferred form when moving around like he was.


Upon making it to the kitchen, he was pleasantly happy to come across all the members of his peerage.

"Good morning Zenki-san!"

"Yes, Zenki-sama, good morning!"

"Zenki-kun, good morning."

"Zenki-chan is awakened~ Breakfast is coming~"

Asia, Ravel, Valerie, and even Jeanne had greeted him good morning.

Each had changed during the time from here onto now.

Asia's boobs had grown, as did the others. She had grown into a cute young girl. While Ravel's and the others breasts were bigger than hers, it just showed how well they had been endowed until now. Perhaps the person who had the most significant increase of the breasts were Valerie herself, though Ravel had grown as well considerably. Jeanne, was actually the third endowed girl in the peerage, Valerie's being slightly bigger, the two mentioned having developed curvy bodies during their time with Zenki and his peerage.

Akeno was usually around in the large kitchen (now living there) but she wasn't this morning. He guessed she had to be with Rias right now for some reason or another. She wasn't sure the reason why Akeno wasn't there, honestly.

"Good morning girls!" He beamed, and smiled at each of them. "You're looking well this morning! Another day of school at the ready!"

[Yes!]

They cheered, Zenki going to sit down, but before he could, Valerie walked closer and gently leaned towards him.

"Zenki-kun…please, can I have some?"

He smiled, knowing what she was referring too, and gave his consent, sitting down.

"Of course, please do."

He bent his neck, giving access to said neck.

Valerie licked her lips slowly, moistening them, and then moved closer, sinking her teeth into his neck instantly, drinking him.

"Aaah, Valerie-tan, don't go so fast."

He moaned, feeling her teeth sinking deeper, his eyes rolling as she sapped more and more blood from him. While he usually felt like it was a strange thing, he had grown too accustomed to it, feeling the love from Valerie, and also the fact that she was biting an erogenous zone on his body, definitely helped.

She pulled away briefly from his neck, mumbling "Sorry." but then resumed regardless, drinking more and more. She cupped his face so she could have better access, her small tongue dancing lightly between the holes on his neck.

"Good morning Zenki-san, another day at school!"

Asia cheered while taking a seat next to Zenki.

He smiled chipperly, giving her a pat on the head.

"Since it is another school day, we best do our best, right?"

"Yes!"

Asia cheered happily, Valerie groaning as Zenki's red liquid slid down her throat…and sexual feelings stirred within Valerie. Her fingers danced on his cheek, forcing his head her way. She allowed her tongue to continue to run across his neck, while drinking from him.

She didn't mean to make it sexual but each time she drank from him…she felt aroused.

She didn't know if it was the blood itself that made her feel like that, or the act itself could be considered sexual. Whatever the feeling was, she couldn't escape it. She couldn't stop the feelings that were coming from her, and how it felt to drink him.

"Zenki-sama, I have been hearing some noise lately, to do with the Underworld. And how Onii-sama is getting frustrated."

Zenki cocked a slightly interested brow.

"Oh? The Devils of the Phenex clan are getting in uproar about Rias-tans inability to marry Riser-san like this?"

Ravel nodded, sitting near Asia.

"Yes, that's right. It seems that difficult times are going to be ahead. With Rias-sama's refusal to acknowledge the problem, Onii-sama willing to take her as a wife, and her not having the proper ability to deny her worries and love at the same time, it seems that many things might happen in the future."

Ravel gave him a short version, something Zenki was thankful for, actually.

"I see…well, it seems that fiancées are quite difficult to avoid. Of course, I couldn't do anything due to it being the Gremory and Phenex problem…hmmm, seems like Rias-tan is going to have to get some new servants or train the ones that she has now…well, even with the servants she has now, it might not be impossible for them to win."

Zenki managed to get out, before he relieved himself, Valerie stopped drinking his blood. She lapped up the bits of blood on his neck, Asia putting her hand there when she was done, and healed the wound.

It would've naturally healed pretty quickly, but Asia didn't like seeing wounds of Zenki's body, nor on his peerages either.

"Thanks, Asia-tan."

He offered kindly, Asia smiling like the Virgin Mary.

"Breakfasts ready!"

Jeanne announced, and with a dance of her feet, she served everyone the food easily.

"Aah Jeanne-san, this looks good!"

Asia praised, watching the food, and slowly ate it, feeling good.

Jeanne smiled brightly, and then looked to Zenki.

"Zenki-chan, I did a good deed this morning. I made everyone some breakfast, and then I made it more with love. I wanted to show my happiness through my food, and if you wish to chain me up for a little while then I wouldn't be offended."

The way she said it was so innocent, that even now Zenki was affected by how innocent she can sound when speaking about being punished.

"C-Chain you up huh…"

He stuttered out, briefly imagining Jeanne to be chained up, naked, but then stopped, shaking his head of the teenage hormones.

"Yes that's right." Jeanne explained, puffing her breasts outwards. "I need to make sure that I have my daily dose of some punishments. Zenki-chan, do you want to give me some right now? I'm ready at any moment."

He laughed awkwardly, diverting his attention from Jeanne to the others.

"We've got some things to discuss at lunch today."

He confided, the peerages eyes lifting curiously.

"We do Zenki-sama?"

Ravel questioned for the peerage, Zenki giving a serious nod of his head.

"That's right, it is very important, because of that smug Rias-tan who has what she thinks I want which I do but she doesn't have to know that! I mean, Maou-sama's sake! She can't say something like that and get away with it! We're clearly the cutest members of the Underworld! Everyone on my peerage is adorable! Her peerage are admittedly adorable, but we're also cute as well!"

Kuroka couldn't deny it, her tail whacking him in the back of his head, gaining his attention.

"Zenki-chan, is it to do with some cute sexy stuff?"

Kuroka hoped that to be the case anyway. She wanted it to be something sexy, feeling hot between her breasts, even if she didn't have them to the same extent as she did when in her humanoid form, being a kitty cat drove her to do more sexual things.

"Well…maybe. I haven't decided yet. We've got to come together about it, and make a decision about it. I've got an appointment with Sona-tan after school with my proposal, so I have to get everyone's thoughts on the matter."

He spoke with a smile, the feelings he felt inside of his chest only exploding deeply within him, the boy not allowing anything to change right here and now. He was going to keep the explosions within him for now, not wanting to appear as a weird person.

"Zenki-san seems serious."

Asia noted kindly, Zenki nodded as Koneko purred on his lap.

"That's right, this is a serious matter! We're apart of the school too damn it! We've got to come together, and show Kuoh why exactly we're amazing! My peerage and I are the best…we're going to do it, do something that blows he roof off the entire school, it has to be done."

"Zenki-kun, is the thing you want to do, legal?"

Zenki chuckled at Valerie's worries and denied them.

"Don't worry, it isn't anything illegal. It is pretty legal anyway. I have to say that I have been thinking about it since the previous year. It is difficult to think of anything else when Rias-tan and Sona-tan wave it in your face like they can do something like that. I mean, they can't do something like that!"

He assured her, and she felt relieved, taking some food into her mouth…but then thought about how she'd like to drink Zenki again, of his blood. She wasn't like Kuroka and did it for sexual thrill. She did for a necessity, yet she did find some enjoyment.

"Well, that's a relief."

She spoke softly, edging her seat closer to Zenki's.

Zenki saw that, and gently looked upon her.

"Valerie-tan? Is there something wrong? Are you worried you won't be able to spend time with Gasper-tan…speaking of, where is Gasper-tan anyway?"

His concern touched Valerie in away where she wouldn't be able to be touched anywhere else.

"S-She's under the table."

Zenki furrowed his eyebrows, and looked under the table.

From under the table, he saw that Gasper (who was only slightly taller than Koneko) was sat there, a handheld game in her hands, playing vigorously.

The reason why Gasper was at the house was because…well, truthfully, Zenki could control her time stopping power. He had knowledge on how to stop it, being deemed strong enough and capable of keeping Gasper in his home, rather than sealing her away which would've happened if it was only on Rias' power.

Valerie even wanted Gasper to stay, so she was alright with staying with the boy, and the girls. Gasper liked staying with everyone. They treated her kindly, and never yelled at her, so she could say that it was alright for her to stay with them.

"Gasper-tan, you have to come out, you know? Valerie-tan would be pleased if you do."

Gasper looked up, shaking her head again and again.

"I-I can't! I-I'm scared!"

Zenki's face lifted up, offering his hand towards her.

"There's nothing to be scared of here. There's nothing to worry about. Remember, if you're to stay here, you have to show a strong side as well. Valerie-tan wishes for you to be happy and healthy. If you're a good girl, I'll give you some of my blood."

Gasper's eyes lit up, but even then, that wasn't enough to draw her out.

Zenki adopted a kind smile, and inched his hand closer.

"Come on Gasper-tan, I know you can do it. It's just me and the peerage. Please, for me. Please come out and have some breakfast with the rest of us."

Gasper wasn't sure, but the kind eyes of Zenki convinced her, so her hand touched his, and he enclosed his hand over hers, slowly puling her out.

"Waaaah…Zenki-senpaaaaaaaaiiiiii…."

Her natural worrying overtook her briefly, but Zenki gave her a reassuring smile.

"It's alright now, please come out now."

Gasper nodded, and finally came out. Immediately, she clung to the side of Zenki while shivering, Koneko becoming annoyed when seeing how close Gasper was.

"…Stupid Vampire."

Koneko gave harsh eyes towards Gasper, the girl trembling even more as a result.

"Gasper-tan, would you like some of my blood?"

He offered gently, wanting to convey that he was here for her, which she was grateful for.

"Y-Yeeeeeeeessssss!"

She screamed as a reply, the others wincing at the loud screech, all but Valerie that was, so Zenki showed his arm and she bared her fangs.

"Go ahead, I don't feel offended. Valerie-tan can do the same."

The Vampire girls became excited, both now showing their Vampire teeth to the boy, chuckling at the sight.

"T-Thank you Senpai!"

"Ooh Zenki-kun, twice in a single sitting, you're too kind."

Without waiting, both jumped in, and bit his arm. Gasper had the wrist, and Valerie had the upper-arm for herself. Both drunk from him, looking at him innocently, Kuroka noting that and couldn't resist what she said next.

"You know, in many ways, you're like a food source for these two nyaaa. You're like a blood bank or something for these people."

"Don't I know it." He beamed, stroking the back of their heads. "But since they need blood, I don't mind it being me. They seem to like my blood."

The pair of Vampires shoot their eyes upwards towards Zenki's face, both wearing sheepish faces. Yet at the same time, they looked to be in euphoria right now, drinking more of the lifes blood that pumped around Zenki's body.

"We love it."

"It's the best~"

The singing duo of Vampires sent vibrations up his arm, speaking from their respective places on his arm. Groans and moans escaped their lips, the warm sensation of his blood flowing down their necks, the warm liquid making them feel amazing inside.

After a short while, Valerie and Gasper stopped drinking, Asia healing the holes that were left, Valerie then brought up something from beforehand.

"Zenki-kun, can Gasper and I…I mean, Gasper and I are going to be spending time together after school, if that's fine?"

He lifted his hand and gently patted Valerie's head soothingly.

"Of course, I said that you could do it anytime, my Queen. You can do anything you want, though there is going to be an announcement that I'm going to be making in a few days. I can't say what it is yet, but let's just say that it is going to be, fun. It is that time for the month of all, kinda like a period, but something less…gross than that. It is something, cool~ I'm sure that it is the best~"

That made everyone become intrigued, but Zenki didn't reveal anything.

He kept his mouth closed, and he wasn't going to say anything else, knowing that he wouldn't be able to right now. He wanted it to be a surprise for the peerage, but he couldn't help but keep them guessing by what he was thinking about right now.


"Iyaaaaa!"

"That's the Angelic Prince! He's so cute!"

"He's with the Blonde Bishoujo Asia-chan!"

"The cute mascot Koneko-chan!"

"The hyper masochist Jeanne-chan!"

"The doll Valerie-chan!"

"The beautiful bird Ravel-chan!"

Many female and male students crowded around Zenki's peerage as he himself walked into the school.

With holding Koneko's hand and Ravel's, plus the fact that Jeanne and Asia held onto his forearms, Valerie holding onto his left upper-arm and Kuroka was on the top of his head, in her cat form (she didn't bother going to school as a student, but hung around Zenki as a cat, even if it was weird for that to happen), it made boys and girls jealous and excited at the same time. All of them seemed to be gathering around them….

Of course they were.

In one shape or form, all of them were popular.

All of them had something that made them popular.

It was their looks, mostly.

But their characteristics made it seem like they are all good to the students around the school.

Students either loved them, or hated them.

There was not one single student that didn't have anything to say about at least one of them. Everyone had some kind of opinion on them. Good, bad, there was an opinion on them. Mostly the men hated Zenki, due to having such female attention, and the same with most of the girls, not liking the girls around their 'Prince' as they had dubbed him.

Each of them had something to make them feel good or bad. It was a feeling that everyone could relate too. Jealousy, hate, rage, happiness, and other emotions, all of the students had either negative or positive things to talk about.

And a brown haired student who happened to see the boy with the girls, shot his jealous eyes over at him.

"Grrrrrrrrr! Seeing the Prince with the girls makes me feel so angry! Why do they always crowd around fucking him!?"

"I know!"

A balding student exclaimed, raising his fist high.

Then another student with glasses cocked the glasses upwards and scanned the girls forms.

"Though, gotta admit that he's got some cute ones."

He said in a perverted voice…actually….

All of them had perverted looks on their faces.

That was obvious, because these three were the Perverted Trio.

Issei, Matsuda, and Motohama.

All three of them were very perverted students.

Many people…no, everyone knew who these students were. They had become infamous for what they did around them. The kendo club surely knew about many of their exploits.

All three watched on as Zenki and his group walked towards the front doors of the school, passing by the gates easily.

"Everyday, these people seem to get more and more crazy."

Valerie surmised, seeing the girls and boys crowding around them, all having either hearts or hatred in their eyes, and with some, it was a mixture of both, something that was frightening to Valerie, seeing such eyes.

"I know what you mean, they always seem weird to me. Don't they know the fact that there's something called…I dunno, personal privacy or something like that? They always seem to get too close to us…"

Ravel's Ojou-sama personality came out slightly, but was restrained enough to not make her sound condescending which she wasn't, though some people might've took it that way.

"…It's because of who we are. Each of us are quite popular."

Koneko said, wishing she could keep her Nekomata parts out right now, but couldn't. Though she was content with holding Zenki's hand.

"Koneko-chan is so right! We're very popular! It is amazing! I never experienced this during my time before I became a Devil-chan! I was able to become a Devil-chan, and have fun all of the time! It even made it more fun because I have great friends!"

Everyone smiled at Jeanne's chipper nature. Even when she wasn't showing her masochism, she enjoyed herself. She always enjoyed herself, and it was very endearing to see such a sight, especially for Zenki who prided himself in the kindness that his peerage showed.

"Well, regardless, we've arrived at school now, and we have to depart." The ones that weren't in Zenki's class (Valerie, Koneko and Ravel) all gave pouts, but he patted each of their heads. "Hehe, don't worry. We'll be together very soon." That brightened the peerage members as Zenki moved towards Valerie, giving her a kiss on the cheek, causing her to blush, and a crowd of fangirls to scream about Zenki x Valerie being a thing. "Have a great morning Valerie-tan. Love you."

His voice carried to her Vampire ears, the girls face reddening.

"Zenki-kun…so kind. A-And I do too…l-love you that is…"

She muttered and slowly walked into the school.

Zenki always said it when they parted. It could be taken anyway they wanted. Whether it be romantic love, familiar love, or what have you. But he said it because, he did love his peerage, and always wanted to show that type of affection to them. And the girls knew that, being accustomed to it, and honestly found themselves waiting for him to say the words.

He looked towards Ravel, who turned away, but it was obvious with her eyes that she wanted Zenki to kiss her cheek too.

So that's what he did.

He moved towards her cheek, and kissed it gently, the fangirls doing the same action as before, now shipping Zenki x Ravel together, each of the girls having their own personal preferences when it came to the…pairing wars, as Zenki called it.

Her eyes widened as her face turned many shades of red, her Tsundere attitude working its way to the surface.

"Do a great job Ravel-tan, I know you can do it. Love you Ravel-tan."

Ravel's face turned back to him, shyness being there.

"Y-Yes, if Z-Zenki-sama says that then I will have no choice but to comply. A-And of course I love you as well!"

While murmuring, Ravel rushed into the school, her skirt swaying in the breeze of the day.

Finally, he looked down at Koneko and bent his head.

"Zenki-senpai…"

Her eyes fluttered when his lips touched her cheek. She found herself coming to life when Zenki kissed her cheek. She wished it was on the lips sometimes, but the cheek was also good. It just showed how much he felt for her.

Once again, the fangirls were in an uproar about this. They found Zenki x Koneko to be a cute pairing, especially due to the fact that they seemed to be the most adorable together. At least, that's what the fangirls thought.

"Have a good morning Koneko-tan, love you."

Hearing that, jealousy worked its way onto Jeanne's, and Asia's faces, but Koneko felt ecstatic.

"…Love you too Senpai."

As shyly as she could, she walked towards the school, blushing away at the thought of Zenki saying that to her for truly real one day, where he'd say because he wanted to be with her romantically. Even Koneko thought of that sometimes.

He looked at his remaining peerage members, grasped their hands and kissed their cheeks, earning blushes in return from the girls in question, moving as close as they could towards the boy, never wanting to depart from him.

"Shall we head inside Jeanne-tan, Asia-tan?"

Gaining the opinions of his last two peerage members (barring Kuroka who couldn't talk with humans around, or questions would be raised) Jeanne and Asia showed wide smiles on their faces right now.

"Yup! Let's get too it Zenki-chan!"

"Y-Yes, another day ahead Zenki-san!"

With agreement from Jeanne and Asia, the trio headed inside, Issei's eyes sharply on the boys form, jealousy being set there, muttering "Damn Prince…" in a disdainful voice, the boys friends agreeing instantly.


Inside of the classroom, Zenki, Asia and Jeanne took their seats. Zenki's seat, and Asia's seat were near one another, next to one another. Jeanne sat on the side of Asia, Zenki being on the left hand side, next to the window, at the back.

Kuroka immediately hopped from the top of his head, and landed on his crotch. He knew what she was going to do, and she did so seconds later. She curled up against his lap, rubbing her face against said crotch, Zenki merely putting a hand to her head, and stroked softly.

"So Zenki-chan, you can tell us what you've got planned, right? You can tell me and Asia-chan here, can't you? I mean, we're your holy girls, you can tell us…this is like a punishment…ooh Zenki-chan, it isn't even my birthday…"

Jeanne begged for an answer while whining cutely about the 'punishment' she thought that she was receiving right now, but Zenki didn't reveal anything.

"Sorry, I can't say yet. And this isn't a punishment, this is a good thing. It is something to do with…well, it is going to be something different, that's all I can say…"

"Zenki-san is meanie~ You can't keep it from us, yes?"

Asia's sweetness always made Zenki bow down before her. But not right now, he was going to keep this a secret for himself, and himself alone. He wasn't going to reveal anything to him.

"I am sorry Asia-tan, but I can't say anything. It's a surprise I've been planning for a little while now. But don't worry, once the arrangements are made, we'll have to be ready~ But don't worry, it isn't a bad thing or anything, it is going to be a good thing."

Asia and Jeanne looked down, wanting to know what was going on.

"PUSSY PRINCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Zenki threw his head back when he heard that voice…

He knew who it was.

A few seconds later, the doors opened to reveal a bespectacled girl with brown hair, tied into two braids at either side of her head. Her boobs weren't that big, but bigger than some others he knew. She wore the standard uniform, and she had her eyes set onto Zenki immediately.

This girl was…Aika Kiryuu.

Zenki…did not like this girl.

She was a perverted girl that was most known by her ability to calculate the width, length and circumference of a males…downstairs area. And she always made it a point to do this in front of Asia, and Jeanne, and basically all of his peerage members.

He sighed as she strode over, a dirty smirk on her face.

"Hello Pussy Prince."

He raised fingers to his forehead, stroking slowly to try and calm his anger.

"Y-Yes, good day Kiryuu-san."

It was strained. His voice that was. It always was when dealing with this person. But he couldn't help but hold the glare for the girl, seeing her eyes lighting up, the bottom lip she had curling upwards ever so slightly.

"Good morning Kiryuu-san!"

Asia greeted, Zenki sighing even more, knowing that they were friends.

While he was glad that Asia was making friends, and was very close with Aika…he wanted to know why her of all people? Why did she choose to be friends with someone he'd class as the bane of his existence?

Aika spared a look for Asia, smiling perversely.

"Morning Asia-chan!" She greeted, leaning closer to her. "So, have you done the thing that I told you to do with the Pussy Prince."

"I really wish you wouldn't call me that."

Zenki grumbled, Aika winking even more perversely than before, her hand resting on Asia's shoulder.

"But you surround yourself with females, you have a pussy on your lap, that kitty that goes insane when people get close to you, and the fact that both Jeanne-chan and Asia-chan want to have sex with you~"

"Kiryuu-san please!"

Asia begged for her to stop, a bright red on her cheeks, Jeanne smirking dangerously.

"Zenki-chan and I are so going to have some hardcore stuff when we're ready~ It is okay, Zenki-chan and I are going to have awesome sex~ But since Asia-chan is the main, I know what I have to do now. I have to make sure that Zenki-chan and I have our chains, whips, our ice cream and chicken nuggets~"

Jeanne curled her body, twitching happily, her eyes displaying the sexual desire that she held for her King.

"Chicken nuggets?"

Kiryuu became confused on the last part, Jeanne placing her hands together and looked to the sky, Asia and Zenki knowing what she was about to do, sighing openly. Kuroka didn't seem to mind though, as she knew what kind of role she had in the world.

"It's thanks to the Lord! Dear Lord, please bless me as I take this journey into the world of having hardcore anal with Zenki-chan!" Due to the prayer, Jeanne received a lightning strike like pain to her head, her body falling to the floor, and began twitching. "Ooooooooooh yeah~ That's the best~ Ooh Zenki-chan~ I want to pray more and more~ That's right, ooh Lord~ I want to feel so amazing right now~"

Zenki, Asia, Kuroka, and even Kiryuu shivered at the sight of the twitching Jeanne, the girl holding a hand to the area where her crotch is, and Zenki became disturbed when he saw a small trail of…he didn't even want to know, slowly running down her leg…he hoped it was sweat.

"R-Right, she's weird…"

"And that's coming from you?"

Zenki spat out, Kiryuu sticking her tongue out.

"Just because the Pussy Prince-"

"Don't call me the Pussy Prince!"

Zenki's rage was slowly ready to boil over.

Usually, he wasn't the type to do this, but something about Kiryuu always pissed him off, rubbed him up the wrong way, and she knew that, always using every chance she had to make sure that he was rubbed up the wrong way.

"Mehehehehehe!" Kiryuu laughed wildly, almost uncontrollably, and showed a smirk on her face. "Just because you're the Pussy Prince, doesn't mean that you can yell like that." He scowled at her, Kiryuu turning to Asia. "Hey Asia-chan, has Zenki-kun there licked you out like a Cadbury's crème egg yet?"

""Kiryuu-saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!""

Both Zenki and Asia roared, but for different reasons. One was anger, and the other was embarrassment, and it wasn't hard to discern which was pissed, and the other was shameful of Kiryuu saying what she did.

Kiryuu laughed though, the same way that she usually did, and merely winked at the pair playfully.

"That's right, it seems like that you're going to be licking her pussy soon. The sexual tension between you is immense. I mean, there's not a fucking day that goes by where you aren't making googly eyes at the other, and I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if you're fucking one another already! Been giving Asia-chan the good old poke have ya Pussy Prince?"

Asia's face turned bright red, and she went to Zenki immediately, burying her head against his chest. Correspondingly, Zenki had a darkened glare for the glasses wearing girl.

"Do you always have to be so vile?"

He spat out dangerously, but Kiryuu didn't even seem to mind at all.

"I really do~ I'm only looking out for Asia-chan's best interests, after all."

"Best interests my butt."

Kiryuu couldn't help the laughter that erupted from her, it couldn't be contained.

It only irked Zenki more than it usually did, due to this being Kiryuu's fault. She loved it. She seemed to get off on doing something like that. She always seemed to be doing things like making him feel bad or, something completely different. Why she did this, he didn't know. Probably because she enjoyed making fun of him.

At that moment, Issei, and his friends came in. His eyes went towards Jeanne, who was continuing to twitch on the ground.

Bypassing her, he sat in front of Zenki, the place that was his seat, and whizzed around, giving Zenki a hard glare.

Zenki merely smiled, and waved his hand.

"Good day Hyoudou-kun."

His tone was kind, compassionate even, knowing what he went through, mostly due to his own tendencies towards perverseness, though he didn't think he deserved to be beaten for what he does to the girls.

Issei frowned, believing that Zenki was pitying him somehow, and growled out hatefully.

"Grrrrr! You piss me off, damn handsome! Stop being so damn perfect with your Shota looks, and your kindness! I really hate you!"

Zenki looked at Asia, who didn't know what he was talking about either. Neither really had any idea what he was talking about. It was a little strange for Zenki to deal with Issei. He didn't have anything against Issei, but Issei seemed to despise him, and he wasn't sure why.

"Erm, okay. Nice chatting, I guess. I am sorry that you hate me, I hope we can become friends in the future."

Zenki wore a sheepish face, not sure on how to talk with him.

"Not nice chatting to you!" Issei exclaimed harshly, pointing at the cat on his lap. "A-And, is it even legal to have a cat in school!?"

Kuroka's eyes lifted, shooting for Issei, darkened intentions within her orbs. Her claws were shown, sharpening her eyes at the boy. Darkness filled her face when she saw the judging eyes of the brown haired boy on her King…she wasn't going to have that.

"Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Issei jumped back as Kuroka pounced near him. He fell off his seat, and landed on the ground with an "Owww!" cry coming from him. Kuroka jumped on his face, and swiped, cutting his face slightly. He cried when he felt her claws on him, trying to grab the cat, but Kuroka wasn't going to allow anyone to speak like that to Zenki, only she could.

"Hahahaa, Hyoudou is being attack by a loose pussy, not the pussy you want exactly, right?"

Kiryuu's sense of humour didn't bode well for Issei.

"S-Shut up Kiryuu! Help me already!"

He cried while trying, and failing to, stop Kuroka from clawing at him. It wasn't stopped though, it never was. She wouldn't stop the clawing at his face. Though they weren't deep cuts, they still hurt, the others unable to do anything other than look on with wide eyes.

"Nope, I can't help you. That pussy is on the loose, and only the Pussy Prince can get that pussy to stop."

"Stop calling me Pussy Prince!"

Kiryuu didn't answer him back, continuing to laugh.

Asia looked troubled by what Kuroka was doing, Jeanne was still on the floor twitching, but now had begun twitching her body slowly, and was also praying to herself so she'd receive more and more pain, getting into a realm of ecstasy.

"Kuroka-tan, don't be naughty. Please come back here."

Kuroka paused her attack, her eyes heading for Zenki who patted his lap. Seeing that, Kuroka turned up her nose at Issei, as if to say that she was superior, and hopped onto Zenki's lap again, snuggling in sweetly.

Issei's eyes shot at the cat, but Kuroka chose to ignore him, sleeping on Zenki's lap. He stood up, wiped his face, and sat down, but kept his eyes on the Neko that caused him to be in the pain that he felt right now.

"Sorry Hyoudou-san, this cute Neko doesn't really like the fact that people say naughty things to me. Please forgive her. She doesn't mean to be so bad sometimes. She doesn't hate you or anything, she just doesn't like people bullying me."

He apologized on the behalf of Kuroka, who thought that it was unnecessary to do something like that, but didn't voice it.

"Stupid Prince and his stupid Neko."

Issei scowled, turning away, Kiryuu snickering.

"Ooh, poor Hyoudou, he's always like this. He's such a jealous person, aren't you Hyoudou?"

"Shut up Kiryuu! I'm not jealous of him at all!"

Sticking out her tongue, Kiryuu went to sit down, something that Zenki was thankful for right now. He didn't want to deal with the girl anymore. Even if she did have a certain power, he wasn't exactly wanting to add her to his peerage. He knew that she'd be a very…scary addition to the peerage.

Zenki then looked towards Asia, smiling.

"Anyway Asia-tan, this surprise I have is something I know you'll like."

"Is it?"

He nodded, and leaned closer, Kuroka's claws retracting slowly, still annoyed with Issei, and his antics. But she didn't show it on her face. Right now, she didn't want to attack…hell, she did, she just didn't want to show that she did want to attack.

"Yes. I know you will, because you're…well, you always did take an interest in Japanese culture and stuff."

"Yes! It is very good! Even Okaa-sama said the same thing! If I take interests in what Zenki-san is interested in, then Zenki-san will love me!"

He chuckled at Asia's thought process, and then thought of his Mother, and how she would say something like that.

"Silly, I do love you, very much so. I love all of my peerage members."

Though he said it in a kind way, Asia wished that it was in a more, romantic way. She wouldn't come out and say it, but she did wish sometimes that Zenki would show her how much he did love her…


At lunch time, Zenki and his peerage had gathered around for lunch. Asia was of course next to Zenki, feeding him as she regularly did, even if it pissed off all of the peerage members. It really did piss them off. Even Koneko, who was the calmest, felt anger when she wasn't able to feed her King the way that Asia did.

Ravel, who sat on Zenki's lap (without Koneko's permission, despite her being on it as well) looked miffed about it, the same for Valerie, Kuroka (in cat form on the top of his head) and Jeanne, though her mind was onto punishments and such.

"Say "Aaah!" Zenki-san~"

Asia picked up some pork and held it out to Zenki, who smiled and went "Aaah!" in a childlike way, Asia feeding him happily.

The girls all watched on, jealousy laced with their eyes. They couldn't be more jealous right now. Jeanne looked miffed, Kuroka looked pissed off, Valerie didn't seem happy, Koneko wasn't please, Ravel felt like she was allowing her anger to take control over her, and all agreed to make sure that Asia disappeared, only so they would be able to get closer to Zenki.

"S-So, Zenki-kun, what is that thing you wanted to talk about with us beforehand?"

Valerie interrupted, not wanting to witness the cuddly stuff that the former nun had with her King.

"Right…about that. Rias-tan and Sona-tan, are the Buchou and the Kaichou of the schools Occult club and Student Council and it occurred to me, that we don't have a base of operations. They have their clubs, we don't. We just, like kinda hang out, so I thought that we need a driving goal, a club where all of us shine brightly. I thought that it would be something amazing like we'd be able to do something cool. S-So, what do you think?" Jeanne immediately stuck her hand up, excitement of a child on her face, which Zenki saw and shot it down immediately. "No BDSM stuff."

Jeanne's hand lowered dejectedly, tears brimming in her eyes, wanting to have the club focus on her passion in life.

The girls blankly stare at him for a few moments, and then each breathed out kindly.

"Well, that's a relief, we need to have a club of our own. We can do activities together, and then contribute to the school, or something like that. It is going to be fun."

Valerie expressed joyfully, showing a small smile on her face.

"Exactly, that's what I was feeling. It would make more sense for it to happen like that, right?"

"Yup! Also, I think that Zenki-chan should reconsider the BDSM club…"

She attempted to slip it in, but Zenki wasn't going to allow it to happen.

"We can't have that Jeanne-tan. I don't think the school would allow a BDSM club. Even if Sona-tan is the one you need authorization from, I think, and the fact that you need other things like a clubroom and such, we have to make it look, presentable. I can't ask for Sona-tan to agree with have a BDSM squad or something like that."

Jeanne pouted, and felt like she was going to fall…her dream of having a BDSM squad not being realized.

Ravel hummed in thought, and put her thoughts across.

"Well, if it is a club, why don't we do the anime club? Zenki-sama, you're an avid lover of anime, and then there's Kuroka-sama who is the same. And I am sure that the rest of the peerage would be fine with that…." She paused when seeing Valerie giving her a little look. "…what is it?"

"There's already an anime club around."

At those words, Ravel's thoughts came crashing downwards.

"Oh…"

Ravel felt ashamed, lowering her eyes downwards. She then thought of anything else to think about a club, but she couldn't think of anything else. The others also tried to think of something, but they were falling far.

"…We could be a club where we serve tea."

Koneko chimed in with a timely retort, gaining the attention of the others.

"Like a tea ceremony type of deal nyaaa?"

Kuroka meowed from the top of Zenki's head.

"…I thought that it might be nice nyan."

Koneko smiled, thinking about her idea, and how she'd like to experience something like that…but fate had other plans for her.

"Sorry, there's already a club like that out there, Koneko-chan. I think those first years you don't like own that club."

Jeanne broke Koneko's thought process down, right to the ground, the Nekomata tightening her fist dangerously.

"…They're the bane of my existence."

Her serious eyes made the others back away slowly, fully aware how angry she felt about certain people.

Zenki chuckled, lightly wrapping his arm around her and pulled her closer to his body. Koneko naturally blushed at the feeling, snuggling against his chest which she had done more than a thousand times now, she never got over how nice it was for him to do something like that.

"No worries Koneko-tan, I loved the idea anyway…seems like we'll have to come up with something else, huh."

"Yes…Senpai, we'll have to come up with something else. Though I thought it would be cool."

The others then continued to think of something else, something more.

They didn't know what to do. Each had something they wanted to do, which was either taken (in Ravel's case along with Koneko's) or just illegal (like Jeanne's club idea, at least most thought it was illegal) and even Asia didn't know what to think. She wanted to have some God worshiping type club, but she knew that it wouldn't work.

"Hmmmmm, I was watching an anime the other day, about this chick that disguises herself as a man, or some shit like that, and works in like this host club type thing."

"A host club?"

Zenki beckoned for an answer, Kuroka leaping off his head, and strolled around the circle they had made.

"Exactly nyaaa. Just think. There's no club like that here nyaaa. And we're all attractive people, more so than some others." Her eyes went towards Ravel, who felt like crying. "We've all got great personalities nyaa. And we can even make things interesting for the future. We can serve food, tea, charge them for money, and heck Zenki-chan, you're good at giving people advice, as is some of the others, excluding Ravel-chan nyaa."

"H-Hey, don't be cruel."

Ravel sniffled, Kuroka snickered lightly.

"Whatever you say Peppa Pig." Ravel felt tears in her eyes, but then stopped when she felt Zenki rubbing her back slowly. "Anyway, what do you think Zenki-chan? We get money, we get to integrate ourselves into the school, and that stuck up Sona-chan won't have anything to say about it. She can see that us helping would be better than us not helping, you know?"

"Well…you do have a point…besides the stuck up Sona-tan and Ravel-tan being Peppa Pig that is…I think that's a good idea…yeah, that's right. I like it. What does everyone else think about it?"

The girls all thought about it, and then nodded their heads slowly, all agreeing with the idea.

"It sounds like a good idea, for once."

Ravel spat, showing her disdain for Kuroka.

Kuroka stuck out her tongue and then showed her claws to Ravel. Ravel's eyes darted open, with realization fixating on her face, unable to do anything else, other than just stare blankly forward, afraid of what could happen.

"Okay Peppa Pig, you've pissed me off for the last time."

"Zenki-sama!" Ravel screeched, clinging to his chest tightly. "Please don't let her do anything weird to me, I don't like it. She's very scaring me again!"

Kuroka's face turned dangerous, her smile being very scary right now.

"Okay, let's not fight. Let's come up with some ideas, alright?"

The girls agreed, and they spent their lunch thinking of something to do.


"Sona-taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!"

Zenki exclaimed happily as he jumped into the Student Council's room, showcasing a small smile on his lips. He entered, and immediately saw the frustrated looking Sona.

Seeing her annoyed face, he could only wonder what was going on right there and then.

"Geez, what's wrong Sona-tan?"

Her frustrations grew later, it was clear on her face that she felt like that was happening.

"You rush in screaming "Sona-tan!" as if we're in the Underworld playing games like the old days. Would it be alright if you used, I don't know, an indoor voice sometimes? Don't you think that would be better than this?"

He tilted his head to the side, but didn't know what else to say.

"You…want me to be silent or something?"

"No, I wish for you to be a little more…tactful in the future."

She explained, but he didn't care, taking a seat in front of the desk she was sat at.

"Sona-tan, I've got business to deal with."

Sona's eyebrows twitched at the 'tan' addition to her name.

"Could you not call me Sona-tan?"

"Anyway Sona-tan-" Sona frowned at the continued use of her name "-I've got to ask you something very important. It has to do with me starting a new club and such. My peerage and I, as you know, don't currently belong to a club, besides some that is, and we want to join a club in the future, or rather make one. We want to become happy when we do join a club, we want to join a nice club…no, we want to make a club."

Sona listened intently, taking off her glasses briefly to clean them, then openly sighed.

"What type of club do you want to do, if I may ask?"

It was hard for Sona to speak then. She wasn't sure where he was going with this, and she didn't know if she wanted to know where he was going with this.

"It's a cute club where we cosplay!"

"Cosplay?"

At the announcement, even Sona didn't know what to make of it. It was, strange if she was honest with herself.

"That's right, we want to become a cosplay café where we can charge people money for our services, which include serving tea, other refreshments, food, entertainment, and we thought about doing host type of activities makes good things in people shine brightly. Like we're we are all, you know, different types of 'characters' like Jeanne-tan being the hyper maid, or Asia-tan as the innocent girl and possibly the clumsy girl."

"So…you want to become a host club…that serves refreshments and such…?"

The baffled Sona wanted some confirmation, and she got that when he smiled gently.

"Of course Sona-tan, I have to think about these things as well. It was a peerage decision, we have to make sure that everything goes ahead. You know what I mean? We've got to make sure that we are the best club, and gaining money is always a good thing. We can donate half of the profits to the school."

Sona's interests were now shown on her face.

"Donate…to the school?"

Sona loved Kuoh, so if there was a chance for the school to get extra funding, she wasn't going to turn it away. Though she was curious about what was going on.

"Exactly. That's how it is, Sona-tan. We want to help the school as well, we love Kuoh after all."

"Well…do you have a proposal ready?"

He nodded, and produced some papers. With swiftness, Zenki presented the papers to the girl who took them and looked over them slowly. Her eyes scanned the neatly written papers, she had to compliment him on the way he presented the club that he wanted. She guessed that he'd have to deal with the fact that most of his peerage members were…less than articulate about their thoughts.

Sona soon finished the papers, and placed them on the desk, holding fingers together in a locked embrace.

"Well, it seems that everything is in order. The thought out idea is pretty good, in theory. However, there are issues with which room you'd be using. There's not many rooms available for new clubs. Rias has already occupied the old school building…"

"What about the old home economics room?"

Zenki suggested, it being recalled in his mind.

Sona hummed in thought.

"Well…it is true that it isn't being used right now…b-but, it does require maintenance. I mean, are you going to hire someone to do that?"

Zenki gave Sona a little look, ultimately rejecting what she said by shaking his head.

"I could do that, or do it ourselves. With permission of course, we'd like to change the room around a little bit, make it more, I dunno, make it a little more homely or something. We've got to decorate, and build it up of course. We're a host club after all, and the room we've requested is also suited to having people cook and such. Asia-tan and Jeanne-tan are excellent cooks. Valerie-tan likes to think that she is…even if she kind of isn't. Yeah, she's not really…b-but I can also cook…not as good as Jeanne-tan or Asia-tan, but still I can do something…w-well, regardless, I am sure that we'll be able to do something together. And, Kaichou's eat for free~ She even gets to have her very own host in me~"

Sona's face lifted into an unusual smile.

Sona rarely smiled, but when she was near Zenki, she found herself smiling more and more. She couldn't explain why, but she found herself to be smiling more in his presence. She even found herself feeling lighter around him, not having all of the pressures that come with her life weighing down on her.

"Eating for free, huh. And even having Zenki serve me huh. What a thought."

Sona allowed her thoughts to run with her for a moment, before being grounded back into reality when she noticed that Zenki had a half smile on his face, a knowing smile at that, something that was very, strange indeed.

"Yup! I will even be your Otouto if you want?"

At the innocent question, Sona's face tinged pink.

"M-My Otouto?"

She spluttered, trying to control her heartrate.

Zenki nodded, placing his hands together shyly, poking his fingers together.

"…Onee-sama, is it okay if we….is it okay if we have…some fun Onee-sama? Pretty please with icing sugar on top of a large chocolate cake?"

To make his voice all the more 'cute' Zenki raised it as much as he could. His eyes fluttered, his body leaned closer to Sona's. She felt powerless in the face of this new being, having discovered something that not many would be able to before.

"Ooh Maou…"

Sona turned away, her face burning a little more red.

Zenki stood up from his seat, and manoeuvred his body so he was near Sona's. He placed his hands on her thighs, Sona's face burning even more red. She felt the coolness of his fingers, her skin ironically flushing at the coldness his hands brought, dazzled by the innocent to be legal look that entered his eyes, it was as if he was a completely different person.

"Onee-sama…I don't know many ecchi things, but I am willing to learn, if you'll teach me?"

"Gaaah!"

For a single moment, Sona lost all composure and felt her nose trickling blood. For that single moment, she got wrapped up in a fantasy that even Zenki didn't know of, and she allowed the very limited perverted side that she held within her to be shown.

Seeing that she had been effected, Zenki allowed a vexing (to Sona) grin to wash on his features.

"Onee-sama…that's surprisingly ecchi of you. Were you thinking of naughty scenarios all of a sudden…?"

"S-Stop it."

Sona demanded, trying to keep her tone level, but failed miserably.

Zenki's face widened into a small grin.

"Sorry, was I being a bad Otouto? Do I need some kind of…punishment?"

Taking a note out of Jeanne's book, he couldn't help the tease, urging Sona to make some kind of decision, her eyes widening in pure shock at the same time as being worried about what she was supposed to be doing now.

"D-Don't say such things with your type of face! It isn't like you can do something like that…Zenki, I order you to stop already."

Sona composed, but her bottom lip quivered showing how stressful that this really was.

"Hehe, you can't order me because I ain't your servant. I am just me, Zenki Astaroth. How could you order me?"

"B-Because, I can do something like that. I am your elder."

Sona tried to use that tactic, where she would state that she was elder, therefore he should have to listen to her. But it wasn't going to work with Zenki, he wasn't going to fall for something like that, especially since it was Sona.

"By like a year. You're a year older than me Sona-tan, and we're of the same rank, aren't we? We're the same High Class, and all of that jazz. It doesn't mean that you can suddenly start ordering me around like that."

His tone conveyed playfulness, Sona having a troubled expression, not sure on how to truly respond to that.

"Even if you say that…"

Zenki wouldn't allow Sona to finish, his hand slowly moving towards her hand. She retracted, naturally. But then she felt his fingers brushing against her soft skin. The feeling of euphoria was quite strong within Sona right now. His small yet powerful fingers allowed her to feel amazing inside of her body.

"Sona-tan, can't you see that I'm only trying to make you happy all of a sudden? I'm only trying to fulfill Sera-tans request in making sure that the super seriousness of yours doesn't take over and leave you a shell. You also need to experience happiness, a fun time. Which is why you should come to the host club when it is done, so you can have some fun. As they say, all work and no play makes you crazy, or something like that~"

"W-Well…"

At that moment, Sona's Queen, Tsubaki entered the room, along with the rest of her peerage, minus one of Sona's new Pawns.

Sona's Knight with reddish hair called Meguri, and who is a Shotacon (someone that scares Zenki most of the time), two of her Bishops, one having white hair who is called Momo, the other having brown hair tied into twin braids called Reya, and finally Sona's blue haired Rook that is a tomboy named Tsubasa, and the Pawn girl, who is also a first year called Ruruko.

All of them were people Zenki knew quite well. Though he wasn't really close to them, he was close enough to them to know how to speak with them on a somewhat personal level. Tsubaki was actually the person he was closest too, barring Sona of course, having known her since he was a child.

Though Zenki didn't care about that, Sona didn't want to be embarrassed in front of her peerage, so tried to hurry him along.

"W-Well, if that's all, then…"

"Sona-tan! We've got the room, right?!"

The excitement tone of the boy, caused Sona to jump in place, merely nodding her head.

"Yes, that's right. You're right about that, you've got the room you want. I will make all of the preparations, do not be concerned."

Hearing that was enough for Zenki, and he became excited, rushing out of the room, sailing past Tsubaki and the others. He stopped when noticing Tsubaki, waving towards her cheerily.

"Hey Tsubaki-tan! You okay!?"

He greeted with a giggle, Tsubaki's face lighting red ever so slightly.

"A-Ah, Zenki-sama. I-I am fine. A-And how a-are you this day?"

The small stutter was admittedly cute to Zenki, the boy giving a small wink.

"Very well! I might be able to open a host club soon! And I'm going to be an Otouto! Isn't that cool!?"

"Y-Yes, that is very, cool indeed."

Tsubaki answered, continuing to stutter.

Zenki smiled childlike and put his hands behind his back, innocence being shown.

"Goodbye Tsubaki-tan and don't call me 'Zenki-sama' because that's not something Tsubaki-tan should be calling me! Tsubaki-tan should just call me 'Zenki' or 'Zenki-kun' maybe it could be 'Zenki-tan' or even 'Zenki-san' would be fine! But not Zenki-sama!"

Tsubaki bit her bottom lip, unable to respond.

Zenki soon took off regardless, wishing everyone else a goodbye.

They didn't understand what was going on, but they all could tell that Sona was blushing. The reason, she wouldn't reveal.


Zenki travelled outside of the school building, and was heading towards the Occult Research clubroom, and by chance, he came across Valerie walking towards him.

"Hello, Valerie-tan. Aren't you playing with Gasper-tan right now?"

He questioned with a smile, seeing how the sun was high into the sky, and was slowly coming down to signal the end of the day.

"Oh, hello Zenki-kun. Uuh, yes. I will be going soon, I was just going to acquire something from the clubroom of Rias-sans. Uhh, incidentally, what are you doing, if I maybe so bold to ask?"

Zenki chuckled, finding her kindness endearing.

"I'm just heading towards the clubroom myself, shall we go together my Queen?"

He offered, and Valerie accepted it instantly.

"Okay, that sounds like a good idea."

Valerie got to Zenki's side, grasped hands, and together, they headed for the Occult Research clubroom.

As they walked, a comfortable silence fell between them. Unlike when they first met, Zenki and Valerie were able to calmly walk next to one another without saying anything. They didn't need words to convey anything. They only needed one another quietly.

They had a unique relationship. Since the day that they met, they had been able to bond in a different way than the others. Valerie was his Queen after all. There was always a unique bond between them. It was difficult to explain, but they felt content with one another, and worked off one another very well indeed.

"Zenki-kun, the day is quite nice, isn't it?"

"Yes, it surely is." He agreed, as they passed the legion of fans that remained at the school after it had ended. "And it seems that they aren't ever going to change their game, are they?"

Referring to the people that followed after them, Valerie had half a mind to say something to them.

"Hehe, very much agreed. They always seem to be hyper. I didn't know normal humans cared about such things."

"I know how you feel. It is the same for me. It seems weird that humans care so much about things like 'shipping's' and have you heard of the people that have been sexually harassing the kendo girls lately?"

Zenki brought up, being reminded how rudely Issei spoke to him beforehand, and hearing the gossiping of the girls and boys as they passed them, glad that they weren't being able to be heard by the masses either.

"I have." Valerie sighed, not like talking about them. "The Perverted Trio, I wouldn't like to bite them and drink their blood. Even if you paid me a million yen, I still wouldn't place my teeth within a thousand yards of them."

"Why's that?"

Valerie released a titter, grasping Zenki's hand, who held hers firmly.

"Because I am afraid that they might have some kind of STI or something. I don't particularly want to have chlamydia or anything."

At the admission, Zenki chuckled as did Valerie.

"Damn, you've become sassy girl~"

His singsong voice carried it to Valerie brilliantly.

"Sassy is fine with me, when I don't particularly want some sexually transmitted diseases."

Zenki saw how Valerie seemed to genuinely be worried about getting an STI from the Perverted Trio, so laid her worries to rest.

"I don't think you need to worry about that. Unless they've done some obscenely things, I think it is safe to say that they haven't been sexually active with a woman."

"You think?"

Zenki inclined his head.

"I think so. I mean, they seem to be obsessed…okay, I know that it is human, and even Devil, desire to be intimate with people but…w-well, from what I have heard, they take it a little far and do too many ecchi things…b-but, I wish to see the good in them."

Valerie lightly smiled when hearing what he said, and how kind he could sound to even strangers, it being one of the reasons why she liked him, though she was still sure that Issei and his group had an STI, and still didn't want to drink their blood.

"Even in perverts, you wish to see the kind side of them."

"That I do, that I do." He agreed, and then stopped when seeing Issei himself, spying on some girls running together with his friends. "Besides, Hyoudou Issei-san has something inside of him that is very interesting. Kuroka-tan even told me as much. Though it is unconfirmed, it could be a powerful Sacred Gear. But I can't get close enough to confirm…I'm sure Kuroka-tan knows, and just likes messing with me."

Valerie's eyes briefly fell upon Issei, and she nodded as well.

"Are you thinking of adding him to your peerage Zenki-kun?"

At the question, Zenki shrugged his shoulders earnestly.

"I don't know yet. I am considering it, honestly. Though, I have asked the opinions of the others before, and they said that they were against it. Especially Koneko-tan. She told me that if I ever try and add Hyoudou-san, she was going to deny my existence, and cut all ties with the peerage. She really seems to dislike him…though she's always had a hatred for perverted things…t-though she seems fine when I sometimes play with her tail and such…m-maybe she doesn't mind some perverted things…maybe."

Valerie grimaced at the thought.

"That sounds very harsh."

Valerie's tone felt sombre, feeling sorry for Zenki, who felt the same thing as well.

"It was…how cruel. I don't think I will be adding Hyoudou-san to my peerage after all…I'd rather have my peerage happy than anything else. It seems like I won't be able to add him to my peerage, and I don't think that he'd want to be either."

"Hmmm? Why's that?"

Valerie's inquiry was met with a strained smile, and that became even more so when Issei turned to Zenki, having sensed eyes on him, and flipped the bird, Zenki not provoking him whatsoever. Surprise worked itself onto Zenki's soft face, wondering why he did something like that.

"Because he calls me quite a few names, and recently has begun middle fingering me…n-not in the way Kuroka-tan would take that. Though it doesn't really bother me, it seems like I have offended him somehow."

"Well, you can't have everyone like you, like you told me the time that damn Serafall-sama called me a stupid bitch for being a doll like Vampire, and told me to go back to being a batty girl with no friends…that was a difficult day…I only said that magical girls aren't that fun to watch..."

"And you wonder why she called you that, being who she is?"

Zenki deadpanned, Valerie's eyes lowering to the floor.

"Okay, you've got a point…b-but that doesn't mean what else I said isn't true at all."

Zenki's face lifted softly, his gaze being held by Valerie's cute face.

"You're right. I've got my peerage, I don't need anything else."

"Exactly, we should go."

Together, they left Issei Hyoudou behind, and the other legions of fans.


They walked all the way to the clubroom, bypassing the doors of most of the rooms of the old school building, and a flight of stairs. Standing outside of it, Zenki entered without even knocking, Valerie not commenting on it as Rias did the same when entering his home, they were that comfortable with one another.

"Hello, Rias-tan, are you in here?"

He looked around, and couldn't see her.

Valerie sniffed the air, and looked towards the back, behind a shower curtain.

"She's having a shower."

Valerie told him, Zenki giving a nod of thanks.

"Rias-tan! Get out of the shower!"

A ruffling of the shower curtain happened, and a few seconds later, Rias' head popped out from behind it, meeting the eyes of Zenki, locking eyes with him in a wonderful gaze of exchanges which is the usual thing that they did.

"Ara, Zenki. Did we have an appointment?"

Rias stepped out of the shower with a towel around her, thankfully.

Zenki saw her developed body, slightly bigger assets than Kuroka's. Though they weren't that much bigger, Rias always made it a point to point that out to Kuroka, as if she was trying to show her dominance or something. Her crimson hair was wet, water running across her body.

Most men would be floored with a wet busty Rias, but Zenki was used to seeing her like that. It had become a common occurrence for him to see something like that, and by now he was only mildly affected, but he didn't allow that to be seen by the redhead.

"I came for the reports, you know, since it is our night to take over the hunts of the Strays should they come into town."

"Ooh yes, give me a few moments."

Rias returned to behind the shower, grabbing her uniform from the chair that was situated near the shower. Zenki heard the ruffling of the showers curtain, and even saw some of her flesh, the curtain not holding all of her form when she bent over, giving Zenki a shot of her backside.

"Such an exhibitionist."

With disdain, Valerie shoots Rias a darkened glare, Zenki surprised that she said something like that.

"Valerie-tan."

Zenki chided playfully, finding her slightly aggressive side funny, but Valerie showed a sweet smile.

"Seems like there's nothing to be done about it now, right Zenki-kun? She's just a little bit of one."

Zenki was continuingly surprised by how bold Valerie's words were, but was also impressed that she was coming out of her shell even more. That, was something he found to be very endearing about Valerie. He was always being surprised by his peerage.

Rias soon stepped out of the shower area, fully clothed, and crossed the distance to her desk. She briefly looked over the papers, and got out some reports for Zenki, handing them to him without a worry in the world.

"It has been quiet, recently. There's only been, a single case of a Stray Devil, but that was easily dispatched."

Zenki read the reports as well, nodding in agreement.

"Seems like there's not much to report."

"Seems like it."

Valerie shared her thoughts, looking over them and then went to behind a certain sofa, taking what appeared to be a handheld game, placing it in her skirts pocket, returning to her King's side.

"Though it has been strange, we've been getting quite a few orders recently." Rias explained, leaning against her desk. "There's been more than the usual activity, but nothing we couldn't handle. My Queen, myself, and my Knight are more than enough for the Stray Devils that have been coming for us on our days."

"Yes…I'm glad that's the case. I wouldn't want you to get hurt."

He said with an uneasy smile, his mind slowly going over the previous times that he had been facing off against Stray Devils, and various threats to the Devil world.

"Ara, Zenki-kun, what do we owe the pleasure?"

A sweet yet mature woman's voice bellowed over Zenki, and within seconds, he was enveloped into a hug, a backwards hug, keeping a tight hold of him. His back felt the presence of large boobs, his face erupting into a red and hot mess, the large bosoms being entrancing to him, earning a scowl from Valerie.

Zenki turned his neck, and came face to face with Akeno. Her face was so close that their lips could've been touching, though Akeno didn't see anything wrong with that. she even puckered her lips, and pressed them against his cheek, his face reddening even more from the act of love Akeno showed.

During the time she was younger, Akeno had grown the most in terms of breast size. She had grown in the chest area, very much so. She was more endowed than Kuroka was, and even more curvy than Rias. Akeno, was probably the largest chested girl that he knew, honestly.

"Excuse me, that's my King you're holding onto."

Valerie spat out hatefully, and this earned a glare in return from Akeno.

It was no secret that these two had a certain…animosity between each other. They…weren't really friends. Under different circumstances, they might've been…but Valerie is, what Akeno wanted to be, and that was Zenki's Queen.

Since becoming Zenki's Queen, she hadn't liked Valerie at all and Valerie wasn't too keen on Akeno either with all of the hogging she tended to do with her King. Zenki was her King, and she didn't see a reason why Akeno tried to do things with him.

"Ara ara, seems like there's something wrong with the Vampire Queen?"

Akeno sent a daring smirk, holding Zenki close to her body. Valerie moved forward, her own breasts falling in front of Zenki's face, being around the perfect height where his head naturally was the same area that the girls chests were…sometimes it paid to be a Shota.

"Yes, there is vulgar Queen-san."

Valerie shot her accusing glare at Akeno, who did the same.

Their eyes locked, animosity building in the air. The air was thick with aggressive intentions, and it nearly floored Rias with how intense these two could be for Zenki himself.

"Oh? What is that bitch Queen of Vampire town-chan?"

Akeno displayed a warm smile, but her eyes radiated evil intentions, her fingers lightly massaging Zenki's head…but that was soon stopped when Valerie ripped Zenki away from her, and held him to her bust, brushing his fingers across his hair, taking in his green locks for herself.

"That is my King, and he doesn't need to be associated with vulgar bitches, like you."

Though her smile was kind, her eyes and words weren't anything that were to be messed with. Valerie was serious right now. She wasn't going to lose Zenki to someone like Valerie, it wasn't a sizeable thing to do.

Akeno frowned, and took Zenki back for herself, placing the short boy in her arms, one arm hugging his back, and the other arm around his waist, almost holding him like a doll.

"Akeno-tan! Please put me down! I am not some prize!"

Zenki ordered, but his orders fell on deaf ears, Akeno holding tightly onto him while addressing Valerie in a mean way.

"Ara ara, you're such a naughty girl, saying such things. You know, Zenki-kun cannot be spoke around like that. He's an adorable boy, and that kind of language would upset his innocent demeanour. He's only an adorable boy after all."

"Even for me, Zenki-kun is adorable. So, don't told him like that." With a quick step, Valerie snatched the complaining Zenki away, holding him tenderly in her arms. "He's MY King, not YOURS! He is my King, and I won't surrender him to you woman of the night!"

"Woman of the night? Ara, are you perhaps talking about yourself, slutty Vampire Queen of slutbomb world?"

Rias and Zenki shared a look, seeing this was getting quite heated, and that wasn't something either wanted to happen.

Valerie's eyes turned dark, and bared her fangs dangerously, licking her lips slowly, enticingly wanting to bite Akeno and drain her of her blood.

"Vulgar Queen slut of whore city of hooker universe."

Akeno's eyes turned hazy with killing intent, flooring Rias this time. She couldn't stay on her feet anymore, and was on the ground, huffing and puffing. She couldn't explain why she felt like this, but she couldn't stop the feelings she felt right now.

"Ara, to say such things, when you're not suited to be Zenki-kun's Queen."

Those felt like fighting words to Rias, and Zenki, and for Valerie, they felt like killing words.

"Oh, are you saying there's someone better suited to the role of Queen than myself?"

The daring glare of Valerie was picked up by Akeno, who scowled as a response.

"That's right!" Akeno grinned, snatching Zenki back. "I am better suited to being Zenki-kun's Queen, because I know him inside and out. We held a special connection before you even came into existence as his Queen. Therefore, I am still suited to being his Queen, but that damn Rias wouldn't allow me to switch teams because she's an idiot and hates me for some reason."

Rias felt tears sting her eyes, wishing Akeno didn't say that.

But Zenki felt blessed, in a good Devil way, that Akeno would still want to be his Queen all these years later. Even with what he told her, she still wished to be his Queen. Though he knew she was content with being by his side in a somewhat romantic manner.

"Sorry, but Zenki-kun is my King, I won't be able to let him go, no matter what. I won't be able to leave Zenki-kun alone, he is someone that I've decided to stand beside. He's been doing many things for me, and allowed me to become a more independent person. Therefore, I am more suited to being his second in command, and his second in life as well, his life partner."

Valerie looked smug right now, and Akeno felt like she was going to explode on her, on Valerie, for what she had been saying to her, and felt her anger rising by the second…no, even faster than a second. She couldn't even comprehend how angry she felt at Valerie right now, the feeling of being annoyed very evident in her eyes right now.

"Don't say things like that. You're the type of person who wishes to drive bridges between people. You're the cruellest."

"And you're a bitch."

Valerie spat out, and the pair locked eyes, dropping Zenki to the floor, and allowing him to escape from them.

Sparks went off between their eyes, and it felt cold, almost empty in the room. The atmosphere couldn't be more cold. Vampires naturally had this kind of intense atmosphere anyway, but when accompanied by a pissed off Fallen Angel/Devil girl, it was truly menacing.

Rias couldn't breathe properly, Zenki felt like he needed to stop this soon or something dangerous might happen.

However, as they were talking (arguing), Zenki's phone suddenly went off, and he shared a look with Valerie, both knowing what was going on.

"Sorry Rias-tan, Akeno-tan, we have to cut this short. We've got a problem to deal with. Valerie-tan."

Calling her, Valerie immediately responded, standing next to her King.

"Yes, I am ready Zenki-kun. Shall we depart now?"

"Yes. Let's gather the peerage, we shall go now."

Before Rias or Akeno could say anything, both Zenki and Valerie left together, calmly displaying their intentions to deal with the threat that was coming to the town, both Rias and Akeno curiously staring at the spot that they were last, after they had exited the room.


The place Zenki, plus his entire peerage, ended was an abandoned factory on the outskirts of town.

The sun was setting in the sky, the crimson setting sun being quite bright to Kuroka's eyes. Zenki slowly surely was looking towards the factory.

"Kuroka, can you detect the presences inside?"

Zenki asked, forgoing adding 'tan' to the name, showing how serious he was.

Kuroka's ears twitched and her reply came within seconds.

"Yes nyaaa. Seems quite a few have been lotted around inside of their. Can't deny it, there's going to be some fireworks nyaaa."

"Yes, but this is still in town. We can't fight till our hearts are content. We have to fight with the mentality of holding back or this town would be reduced to rubble."

Zenki warned, knowing how strong they were, and how they could destroy the town if they went full force with their powers. It wouldn't of been wise if all of them did the same thing by releasing their powers, it wasn't something that they could do.

"It's true. If we all went out, this small town would be extinguished, from just the King alone. Added the rest of us, it is going to be quite the dangerous situation, I can tell you that much." Ravel gave her thoughts, and moved next to Zenki. "So, what are we going to do, Zenki-sama? They'll surely notice our presences soon enough."

"Yes…it seems that we've got a dilemma…hmmm, I think it would be safe to assume that they're humans, right Kuroka? Koneko?"

Asking the opinions of the Nekomata's, both girls nodded, Koneko being the one to speak first.

"…All of them have human like qualities about them. I don't sense any Devils inside. But the humans cannot be ignored…I am sensing a high concentration of power inside. Even some being High Class Devil status."

"And if I'm not mistake, there could be some Sacred Gear possessors inside as well nyaaa."

Kuroka added, Zenki nodded and got into thought.

"Then that's got to be the thing to deal with…we should capture these people. This has been happening a lot lately…anyway, we've got to do something about this. Koneko, you and I will go forward, together with Jeanne. Middle guards will be Kuroka, and Valerie. Rear guards will be Asia and Ravel. I'll give the orders once I've assessed the situation. Also, if it is Sacred Gear related, hopefully they'll be in the database, so Asia, please get out the Sacred Gear scanner than I invented that hooks up to the Fallen Angels database, gotta thank Azazel for that, and please scan them when not healing, okay?"

[Yes sir!]

Knowing that this was a situation where they couldn't fight, they all listened and did as he said. Even Asia did as asked, holding a device in her hands meant for scanning opponents powers, or more precisely, their Sacred Gears.

Slowly, he went inside of the area, the others following. Koneko at his hip, the same with Jeanne on the other side. Kuroka and Valerie walked slowly behind them, and Ravel along with Asia stayed behind so they'd be able to provide some support when needed.

Once inside, Zenki came across a man wearing sunglasses, and some other people around.

All of them bore a symbol on their bodies, but it was well hidden by the clothes they were, the group only catching a glimpse of it.

"…Aah, the Astaroth group surely arrive fast, don't they?"

The man with the sunglasses greeted, sneering at all of them.

Zenki stepped forward, allowing his power to dance around him.

"And a good day to you as well. Attacking this town, causing mayhem isn't a good thing, you know? My name is Zenki Astaroth, and I won't be allowing anything to happen here. I shall be the one that you'll be dealing with."

Hearing Zenki's greeting, the man smirked wickedly.

"Such a tone you have. What a thing to have. Surely, you're jesting that you are actually good people. You've got some nerve, son of the Maou Ajuka. This town has a cancer on it, and that's all you are, boy. Cancer. And you need to be purified."

"Then give me your treatment, and let's see how this 'cancer' fights back."

Zenki also became serious, and knew that he couldn't act recklessly, so held himself back, and got ready. The others in his peerage did the same thing, making dangerous eyes towards the humans that had called their King 'cancer' even Asia looked angry, a cute angry, but angry nonetheless.

Seeing the formation of the Astaroth group, the glasses wearing man smirked, and placed his hand out.

From his hand, the atmosphere changed, and it created some gauntlets. They were funny in design. They seemed like something from a child's cartoon. Yet at the same time, a dangerous power leaked from them, going around his body.

"Seems like a hand to hand, Koneko."

"Yes, Senpai."

With acknowledgment from her King, Koneko leapt forward into the fray first as Zenki kept his keen eyes on them.

The man scoffed when seeing the young girl going forward.

"You send some little Loli girl after me? You don't think very highly of me."

Zenki rolled his eyes, holding a hand out in front of him.

"I wouldn't underestimate my Rook."

As he said that, Koneko's hands lit up with the blueness of the aura destructive power that accompanied Senjutsu. Spinning in her hand, she shot the orb forward, and it headed straight for the gauntlet wielding man.

"This is Senjutsu…nothing breaks through my Sacred Gear!"

Tightening his fist, the glasses man thrusted his fist forward, and struck the orb of Senjutsu. Zenki was mildly surprised when the orb shattered around the fist, not dealing any damage whatsoever to the enemy.

"Seems like not only is his strength good, the defence against Senjutsu cannot be ignored either."

Zenki muttered as the man continued his fist, heading towards Koneko. Koneko saw the fist coming, and leapt over it, using her small body to avoid. She sent Senjutsu to her feet, trying to get a sneaky kick from above, but the man stopped himself, and lifted his eyes upwards, blocking with his gauntlet fist, stopping Koneko's Senjutsu's foot…but.

"W-What!?"

The man was pushed down by Koneko's Rook strength. His arm was forced to the side with her foot, and that allowed Koneko some access. Twisting her body in the air, just before she was going to land, she charged her hand with Senjutsu.

"Take this."

With cold words, Koneko thrusted her fist forward, but stopped when a blast of magic headed for her body from the area of the shadows that Zenki couldn't get a good grasp of, even from the fact that he was a Devil and darkness shouldn't be a problem.

"I don't think so."

Zenki lifted his hand and activated his special Kankura Formula, taking over the magical power and made it disappear, crushing it with his own power, saving Koneko from being blasted. But that was only a distraction, the gauntlet man tightening his resolve, and came with a heavy flowing punch for Koneko.

"I don't think so nyaaa~"

With a cheery grin, Kuroka allowed her fingers to move as if she was writing in the air. The next moment, a barrier erected around Koneko, allowing the girl to jump back, giving her a reprieve as the man shattered the barrier with his large fist, but stopped it from hurting Koneko by slowing it down considerably.

"What a thing. I've heard that the Astaroth are good, but I didn't expect this."

The gauntlet man spoke with a disgusting smile, sending shivers down some of the girls spines.

But Zenki didn't say anything, keeping his eyes on him.

"Then, if it is about this, I will also go forward."

With a sigh, Zenki got into a battle position, and launched himself forward.

He was like the wind…no, he was moving faster than that. most couldn't get an inkling on his location, disappearing out of sight, only to reappear right before the gauntlet man, startling him.

"S-Shit!"

The man cursed, and went to block…but he couldn't.

As he went to block, Zenki nailed his foot into the mans abdomen, sending him hurdling towards Koneko. The girl tightened her fist, the aimless man sailing towards her, gathered Senjutsu, and thrusted it into the mans body, cancelling out his conscious, knocking him out.

"Good work Koneko."

Hearing the praise of her King, Koneko had a small blush on her cheeks.

"N-No way! You can't do something like that!"

A female appeared, the one that fired the magic before, and she made magical power dance around her as well. It was quite strong for a human, she was clearly an experienced magician indeed. And she looked pissed off right now.

"If it is magical power, then I will also come back with my power as well."

Valerie this time was the one to step up.

Valerie was someone who was very well educated with all the different types of demonic power. Though only being a Devil for a few years, she held the power of a High Class, and wielded it with quite the proficiency.

"Take this then, bitch!"

The woman spat, and shot out lighting towards Valerie.

Valerie's eyes sharpened, and danced lighting in her palms, made of demonic power, a high grade one at that. Sticking her hand out, lightning sprang forward, and clashed with the lightning of the magician. A small struggle centred above Zenki's head, but ultimately, Valerie broke through and forced her lighting to head towards the woman…

But then, a wormhole opened up, and it disappeared.

"W-What…?"

Asia looked in disbelief at what happened, wondering what was going on.

"Stupid people doing things like this…wait, you aren't people, are you, Devil scum?"

Another woman steps forward, a ring on her finger.

Zenki surmised that she was the one who did it, and gestured to Jeanne who caught it, and readied herself.

"Geez, seems like there's someone who can use wormholes! Okay, I will take you!"

Jeanne created a fiery blade of holy power sword in her hands, thanks to her Sacred Gear, and went forward as well. Using the speed that she was proud of, she danced around the battlefield, and went to slash down on the woman when making it towards her…but.

"Hah!"

The woman stuck her hand out, and created another hole. Just as the sword swung down, the hole gobbled up the sword, and it disappeared out of Jeanne's hands, only for the shot of lightning from before to spring out of the hole.

Jeanne reacted, and jumped back, Zenki controlling the lightning just before it hit the Knight girl, stopping its advances.

"Return to sender!"

He went to send it back into the hole, though she closed it before he could, and she dodged the lightning with elegance.

Deciding that wouldn't be right, Zenki split the lightning apart, sending two smaller, but still strong bolts of lightning at the pair of women. They didn't even bat eyelids, and raised barriers, thanks to the magician girl, and stopped the lightning from hitting them.

"Seems like this is going to get dicey nyaaa~"

Kuroka sang out as if she wasn't fighting at all, irking Ravel slightly.

"Geez, don't you take anything seriously?"

Kuroka didn't answer Ravel, and stuck out her tongue playfully.

Zenki looked between what was happening, and slowly began forming a plan in his mind.

"You stupid bastards, I am going to cut you down!"

Another man that was stood where the glasses man was before, stuck his hand out, and a sword was made. The sword was dense with holy power. it wasn't a holy sword, not a true one. And it wasn't Blade Blacksmith either, but it couldn't be mistaken that it was a sword that had holy power from it, Zenki concluding that this man used to be a member of the Church, at how he was able to summon holy power like Marc used to do, Jeanne recalling that as well.

"If it is a sword user, especially if it is a holy type sword, leave it to me!"

With a happy face, Jeanne made another holy sword in her hand, and created no distance between them. Immediately, she brought her sword upwards, and slashed down with the skills of a professional.

The man raised his blade, and blocked the strike, breaking apart Jeanne's sword, but the icy mist allowed to coat the blade ever so slightly, the man missing that however. She made another icy sword in her hand, and went forward again.

"Take this!"

Jeanne swung again, but the mans strong sword cleaved through the ice blade, breaking it down with his power. But like the last time, a small mist enveloped the blade, slowly coating it. Jeanne didn't stop though, and made another sword.

"Don't you know when to quit?"

The man mused, showing his sword to her.

Jeanne didn't worry and went forward with the mentality of what she needed to do.

"Damn Devils, burn!"

A man wearing Chinese attire placed his hands out, and a small magic circle appeared. From the circle, a fireball was made, and before it was shot off, the aura of the man wrapped around it, and strengthened it, firing it at Zenki and the vanguards.

"If it is flames, leave it to me!"

Ravel sprang into action, putting her hand out. Embers lit her hand with the fires of the Phenex clan, dancing around her palm. The flames made a small ball of condensed flames, and surely, it shot out of her hand and went forward towards the fireball.

The flames of Ravel clashed against the flames of the magic man, easily breaking them apart and headed right for the man. He clapped his hands together, creating many barriers around him to defend him from the fireball.

Though the fireball crashed through the barriers, breaking some of them down. But the man strengthened more of the barriers, protecting himself from Ravel's wild dance of embers, saving him from certain destruction.

Just at that moment, a wormhole opened up beside Asia, and a holy sword came spewing out of it, the same one that Jeanne had made beforehand and was gobbled up.

"Hah!"

Asia panicked, and went to take a step back, but calmly, Zenki took control of the sword, using his special formula, and stopped the blade before it could hurt Asia, attempting to send it back through the void, but the woman closed it up before it could be dealt with.

"Zenki-san…"

Asia held an appreciative look in her eyes, as Zenki accessed the situation.

At that moment, a light blue arrow fired off from outside, and headed for Ravel. The Phenex girl reflexed and dodged the arrow just before it could hit her. The arrow pierced the ground, and created a small dent in the floor.

"I don't think so!"

Valerie immediately made a spear of ice in the air, and launched it around at the light user immediately. But the hole woman made one more hole in the sky, and gobbled up the ice spear, only for it to appear right next to Ravel.

"I'm a Phenex, simple ice, even by my comrade, isn't going to stop me."

Ravel danced the flames around her from the Phenex, and melted the ice before it could touch her, saving herself from getting pierced. Zenki turned his eyes towards the person of light arrows, and fired off demonic power towards them…but stopped it when the hole was made again.

He stopped and dispersed it, not wanting to add more trouble to the others.

"Alright then, you've pissed us off for the last time!"

The woman with the hole ability clapped her hands, and in front of her, small demonic like creatures were made. They seemed to be as dark as night, everlasting midnight at that. They were creatures of darkness, and held demonic power inside of them.

"Seems like we've got some company."

Kuroka sighed out, seeing this getting a little hairy.

Zenki tested the waters and used demonic power to blast one of the creatures…but something strange happened.

As soon as his demonic power touched the creatures, it gobbled it up, increasing its own strength somehow.

"Maou, how did it do that?"

Ravel was in a state of wonder, Zenki was in the same boat, curiosity filling him.

He tossed his head towards Koneko, and saw one of the creatures going for her. She gathered Senjutsu to her hands, and thrusted her left fist forward. Once making contact with the creature, the Senjutsu rippled through the body of the creature, and killed it instantly, dispelling it from this world, only interesting Zenki even more.

"So…since my demonic power didn't work, and made it stronger…it seems that demonic power makes them stronger, whatever they are…but maybe because Senjutsu deals with internal damage, and controlling the base of life…maybe these creatures are weak to Senjutsu…I'd have to see about light…but maybe these creatures have been made to absorb demonic power, somehow?"

He mused to himself as he dodged some of the creatures going for him.

Using his enhanced combat abilities, Zenki was able to move around and deal bone crushing punches to each of the creatures that came for him. Even with his fists, it took more than it would take usually to deal with the low level creatures, but his fists were able to smash through the creatures, but not as easily as Koneko seemed to do.

Zenki thought for a moment, then his eyes looked towards Asia.

"Asia, have you gotten the data?"

Gaining a nod from the girl, Asia called out what was what.

"Y-Yes! That woman is using a defence counter type Void Spitter! A-And, the light user is using Starling Blue! T-The others aren't using a Sacred Gear!"

Asia gave her analyses, not seeing the point of having the other one being mentioned, since he was knocked out.

Zenki's eyes looked over the situation, and then gave the orders.

"Alright, I'm giving orders. Koneko, Kuroka, you two deal with the black creatures. Ravel, deal with the fire user. I'll be taking the void woman, and Jeanne, take out the sword user-kun. Finally, Valerie, modify yourself and us briefly by using your Sacred Gear once drinking my blood, and go for the light user."

[Yes sir!]

With their commands, everyone did what they needed to do.

Valerie was the first one to get into action. She took out a small vial of Zenki's blood which she always carried around to help control her power, and sipped it.

As soon as she did, she felt the power coarse through her, and her strength being raised. Zenki's blood was strong, and it always powered Valerie nicely. And right now, she can feel her powers rising, strengthening more.

She then took out her Sacred Gear first, the Sephiroth's Graal, and grasped it between her fingers. At the same time, the bracelet she wore on her hand lessened the effects of the Sacred Gear.

As the golden light rose up, it enveloped Valerie, and lowered her weakness to light, soon repeating the process for her fellow comrades so they weren't effected as much as usual to the weaknesses that Devils have.

It was one of the special functions of Valerie's Sacred Gear. She could lower the weaknesses of creatures as much as possible. And thanks to the bracelet designed by Azazel with the help of Zenki, she is able to use her Sacred Gear like this without it affecting her severally. If she tried to resurrect people, that would be a different story. But with this, she was going to be okay. She could use this ability to briefly lower their weaknesses. Permanently, she didn't think she'd be able to do that or risk something happening. But with this, she was able to fight and give support to her comrades.

"Then, I will be going."

Valerie immediately spread her wings, and took to the sky.

Shadows danced around her, and she put her hand put, concentrating the shadows there. It was a Vampire power, which she was adept at using. The shadows didn't fully obey her, but she had enough skill to wield them with some proficiently, and when it came to drinking Zenki's blood, it allowed more control than before.

"Why don't you try this?"

An orb formed in her hand, twisting with shadows, dancing in a perfectly balanced movement, and a second later, she shot it at the light user.

"I don't think so!"

The man with the light arrow formed a bow of light, and pulled back the string, firing off quite a number of light arrows. They sailed past the shadows, and headed for Valerie herself. The girl clicked her tongue, forming shadow balls around her.

"Dance widely, my shadow powers!"

Valerie clicked her fingers, shooting off concentrated balls of everlasting darkness to combat the arrows. Firing each in tandem, the balls of shadows combatted the light arrows, and cancelled each of them out.

The first blast of darkness sailed through, and smacked the light arrow man in the torso, blowing him out of the building. Valerie spread her Devil wings, and followed outside, leaving the rest to the others around.

"Haaah!"

"Nyaaa! And here's another one for you!"

Together, the sisters began wrecking the creatures.

They weren't sure what they were, but Koneko used a mixture of hand to hand, and Senjutsu to beat down the creatures. Kuroka from her distance made Senjutsu and Youjutsu orbs, launching them in quick succession, breaking apart the creatures easily.

No matter what the creatures tried, the girls were good. They combinations were good, and they were able to defeat the creatures with ease. They were sisters after all, and had the best teamwork of the team.

"My flames won't lose that easily!"

The flame magic user stuck out their hand, and release a stream of strong flames. They were quite hot, even Kuroka could feel them on her skin, but for the Phenex girl, they weren't a problem at all, they weren't even a worry.

"I see, so these types of fires are supposed to beat mine? I am a Phenex. Please come at me with some stronger flames next time. Your fires are cold."

Ravel opened her palm, and a flame wheel materialized there. The flames danced in the hand of the Phenex, and she shot it off.

Circulating the room, Ravel threw the flame wheel, cleaving through the flames of the flame user, and it frightened the fire user, who made more and more fire in their hands, a supposed speciality of theirs.

"I won't be beaten by some weirdo bitch like you!"

The man exclaimed, and threw more fire at the direction of the flame wheel that Ravel summoned…but the fire didn't even stop it. Ravel's fires were strong, and she enhanced them with her wind abilities, causing the fire wheel to grow larger, and larger, until it was too large, and snuffed out the fires of the enemy.

"Sorry, but this is how it is."

Ravel bowed her head respectfully as the flame wheel neared the enemy.

He tried his best to summon more flames, to try and beat Ravel's flames…but he wasn't fast enough.

"Iyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

It did a direct attack on the persons body, knocking them out. Ravel looked on and sighed openly, not liking to resort to doing what she did, but she had to do what she had to do after all.

With Jeanne, she held a sword in her hand that released a quiet mist, a cold mist at that. She brought her sword up, and went to assault the enemy that she was facing before her, sharpening her eyes at the light sword he held.

"Seems like my sword is going to win!"

Jeanne announced as she swung her icy sword down again with a passionate look to her face.

But the sword broke apart when it touched the mans sword. His was too sturdy, leaking a power that Jeanne was surprised by. But she didn't allow it to show it on her face that she was in a slightly disadvantage right now.

He smirked, and opened his hand towards her.

"You're pathetic, your swords cannot defeat mine."

He announced, and allowed a ball of energy to be released.

Jeanne used her speed to dance around the enemy, and she smirked, and stuck out her hand, creating another sword, another ice blade that shone in the burning sky that leaked through the window.

"If I'm pathetic, why am I going to win?"

At her strengthened words, the man growled out.

"Bitch! I'm going to kill you!"

The man lunged forward, trying to catch Jeanne with his speed…but Jeanne was faster.

She was able to move out of the way of each swing of his blade. Her speed was able to move out of the way, avoiding the swings of the sword that leaked a strong holy power that could kill the usual types of Devils, but not these Devils.

She swung it to the side which touched the blade of the man ever so slightly, and as soon as she did, the man heard crackling noises coming from his blade.

Looking down, he saw that ice was growing across his blade, visibly stunning him.

"W-What!?"

He roared, increasing his aura but it didn't do anything. The ice continued to grow, and it wouldn't stop growing. It soon encased the entire sword in ice, and with a swing of Jeanne's new sword, it cleaved the sword in half, breaking it apart.

"You see, you're using power over skill, and when facing me, I won't be losing. I am Zenki-chan's Knight after all! And I am the Technique type of fighter, you know~? I am Zenki-chan's Knight, and I won't be losing to anyone ever!"

Jeanne's sword continued to his body, and he cut him down with a smile on her face. His blood splattered out and he fell to the ground uneventfully, Jeanne standing over the body and smiled to herself, her eyes going towards the opponent.

Zenki faced down his opponent.

"Let try this, shall we?"

Each attack he fired, she'd open a void, and collect it inside, only to spit it back at him.

But he'd control it so it wouldn't hurt him. It was a dance of back and forth, and it was difficult to see who was going to win the fight. He couldn't get close, even with his speed, the girl using the wormholes to block his path. Though he was getting closer and closer to touching her, and that's all he needed.

Just one solid hit on her body, and he would be able to win, but she was making it difficult to do something like that.

"Try this!"

Zenki tried a tactic he thought would work.

He fired a solid blast of demonic power in the area of the woman.

But like he predicted, she used another hole to open up, and gobbled up the power…but.

"I don't think so."

Clenching his hand together, the demonic power exploded thanks to him using the Kankura Formula to take control of the power, and make it explode inside of the hole, and as expected, the woman suffered some of the backlash, being contacted to her power, knocking her to the ground.

Zenki tightened his expression, as well as his fists.

"This is my chance!"

Seeing his chance, Zenki brought up his hands and rushed forward towards her.

"N-No!"

The woman tried to regain her composure, but she couldn't in time, so people that were hiding in the shadows came out, and rushed Zenki. From the looks of them, they were light sword wielding humans that came for him.

"We'll kill you Astaroth!"

"Time to die!"

"We'll end you bastard!"

Each of the sword wielders came at Zenki, but he didn't even pat an eyelid.

"Okay, let's make it quick."

Zenki regarded the enemy, and began taking them out.

One by one, they came at him with swords, but his graceful body allowed himself to dodge each of them, landing devastating punches to them. With complicated movements, his body flew through the air, twisted, turned and other movements that allowed him to move out of the way, and land a punch on each of the human's, knocking them out with as minimal power as he could without killing them, but he was sure he had ruptured some bodies in the process, by mistake.

As he finished off the last one, he rushed towards the woman, who used the advantage to stand up, and make a hole, just as his fist was about to make contact with her. Zenki smirked and put his hand out, demonic power being released.

"N-Never!"

The woman was shocked he could release demonic power within a second, and it went for her hole ability.

Knowing that she wouldn't be able to take another attack, she dismissed the wormhole, summoned some ice and shot it forward, blasting the demonic power. She thought that she'd be able to take the demonic power with the ice, but Zenki manipulated his demonic power, swirling it around the enemy, and making it come into contact with her woman's body, breaking her guard, the woman falling to her knees, the ice she shot out was punched by Zenki, shattering it upon impact with his fist.

The hole woman's eyes sharpened and she tightened her resolve, placing her hands out, making many magic circles around her, a final attack, Zenki jumping back with a small smile gracing his lips, enjoying the battle.

"You see me, I am not going to be beaten by this! I am going to murder you, you fucking asshole! I am not going to lose to someone like you! Fucking die you bastard!"

Raising her strength, she forced power to come to her, and she shot off many different types of magic.

Fire, wind, lightning and so on and so forth headed for Zenki. The woman thought that she had him this time…but she didn't.

Zenki calmly placed his hand outwards, and controlled each of the powers. His Kankura Formula controlled each of the powers with ease, and deadened his glare on her, and then his face lifted into a small smile.

"Your power is good. But, your voids are like that of the clan I know back in the Underworld. They have the hole ability, and it is very similar to this. And I know that you won't be able to handle this many powers against your body, so why don't you have them back!"

With a cool air around him, Zenki fired back all of the attacks that headed for him. To make matters worse, Zenki allowed his aura to enclose around the powers themselves, strengthening their power which was already high.

The woman saw this, and felt…fear entering her body.

She hadn't realized that he held the power to send all power right back at her, not to this degree. She had an idea that he could control powers of other people, but to send it back to him like he was, it was surprising her.

"N-No!"

The woman yelled, and tried to make many holes, but she couldn't make enough.

She could only absorb a few of them, and the ones that she couldn't, hit her body and caused her to cry out. Fire, ice, lightning and so forth hit her, and she couldn't do a thing to stop them. She couldn't do anything to stop it, and received all of the attacks to her body, helplessly watching with fear stained eyes.

"Iyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

With a final yell, the woman fell down and entered her unconscious state.


Once the battle had ended, Asia was healing everyone. Though no one got really hurt, she still did it regardless, believing it to be something of her duties to do so.

"Go to sleep~ Go to sleep~"

Valerie moved her fingers in a circular manner, and made the people that were still awake lose consciousness. It was a Vampires power that Valerie had, making them fall asleep once they had been beaten up.

Zenki and Ravel were making magical circles so they could send the people to the Underworld, and get them interrogated to find out what was going on…though they didn't hold out much hope as of right now.

Soon, Zenki and Ravel sent them back to the Underworld, and joined the others.

"We've sent them like the others…but I doubt that we'll get anything from these people. It's like the instance they lose, their minds are destroyed."

"A very troublesome ability."

Valerie mumbled, Kuroka exhaling.

"What a thing huh nyaaa. Those weird black creatures though, I wonder what they were?"

"I couldn't even begin to guess." Zenki admitted, feeling slightly dejected. "Next time they show up, if they do, we'll have to capture one. This time, it wasn't something we'd naturally be able to do. I'd like to study one though. They felt demonic, yet they also seemed to be something I haven't ever seen before. It also ate my demonic power, and grew from it, almost absorbing my demonic power, and was growing stronger. Yet, they were weak to Senjutsu from the looks of it."

"…Zenki-senpai has a serious face."

Koneko grasped Zenki's hand slowly, holding it endearingly.

Zenki smiled at the young Rook, and petted her head.

"I'm just wondering what they were doing here."

"And it's a good thing we were able to fight while suppressing our powers as well."

Jeanne makes a bitter smile at Asia's comments.

"If we were to run wildly, this place could be annihilated. Not to say we're super powered…but yeah, we kind of are super powered people. If we can't suppress our powers, this small town would collapse. And they were human opponents, we can't go full force against them. They'd seriously die if we did, and we aren't in the business of killing humans."

Jeanne shivered, and looked at Zenki, a begging look in her eyes. Zenki knew the look, rejecting her with a shake of his head, Jeanne's eyes falling to the ground when she wasn't going to get her satisfaction.

"So what?" Kuroka wore an indifferent face. "They came for a fight, they should expect death if they want that fight nyaaa."

"While I can't say you're wrong, it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth thinking about killing humans. Even if they are the ones causing the problems."

Ravel gave her opinions, Asia raising her hand shyly.

"E-Erm, can I say my thoughts?"

"Of course Asia-tan, please do."

Zenki entrusted everyone's attention to Asia for the moment, who blushed shyly.

"W-We've been fighting many humans l-lately…a-and I don't know why…Zenki-san, do you know why?"

Zenki put his free hand to his chin, humming in thought.

"You know, I don't know honestly. Lately, we've been coming across people with special abilities, and those creatures only make me worry even more. I don't know what they are, I don't know how they were made, and I don't know what they are used for. Though they seemed to be quite weak."

"Low level Devil weak, Zenki-chan nyaaa."

Kuroka explained, Zenki nodding in thanks.

Ravel then raised her hand.

"There's something I feel suspicious about, Zenki-sama. Can I please explain my thoughts?"

"No, fuck off Ravel. No one gives a shit about your ugly opinions or your bird brain nyaaa."

Kuroka sneered, Ravel's eyes becoming moist. Zenki strolled past Kuroka, lightly tapped her on the back of the head as she "Nyaaa!" in a muffled cry thanks to her hands being close to her mouth when being lightly tapped, and then petted Ravel's head soothingly.

"Of course Ravel-tan. What are you thinking?"

Ravel was thankful Zenki didn't allow Kuroka to pick on her, and put her opinions forth.

"I just think, it is…weird."

"Weird?"

Jeanne asks, and Ravel nods.

"It's just their methods. I mean, from what I can tell, the last two or three fights we've had with humans harbour similar intentions than the ones before and the first we had this year. It seems to me that there's something going on here, something more sinister than what we suspect on the surface."

Valerie placed a finger to her chin, sharing her thoughts.

"If you're saying that there's something afoot here, I think you might be right. I mean, it can't be a coincidence…and the fact that it is about us, considering that they are always coming when we're the ones that have charge of the towns territory, shared with the Gremory group. Since they've not said anything about coming across them, we can only assume that they've been targeting us specifically…but for what reason?"

Valerie's thoughts caused deep worry for Zenki.

"Thinking about it thoroughly, each time we capture these people, they have their memories…wiped somehow. They lose it to the point where they aren't even themselves anymore. It is like they have disappeared. I'd say even erasing seems like a light thing to say. I'd think destruction of their memories is a more accurate way of saying it."

"That's horrible…"

Koneko sighed, so Zenki leaned down and hugged her tightly. Koneko's legs wrapped around Zenki's upper body and he lifted her upwards, so he was hugging onto her. Koneko was light, and was able to be lifted like this.

"Don't worry Koneko-tan, I won't allow anything to happen to you, any of my peerage."

Koneko felt relief, and lightly kissed his cheek, blushing, placing her head on his shoulder shyly. Zenki smiled, rubbing the back of her head gently as he gently caressed her cheek with his lips briefly, the Nekomata getting stern looks from each of the girls in Zenki's peerage. Even Asia looked miffed.

"And, what happens to the people afterwards?"

Asia expressed her worry, Zenki lowering his eyes.

"Because of the destruction of their memories, they are left as little more than a vegetable. They're left with not even real basic motor functions. It is like the slate is wiped clean, and nothing will hold inside of them. It is very…sickening to see what has happened. Even my Tou-chan cannot understand what has happened with them. Even the seal they implanted in their body is immensely complex. Even for a man like Tou-chan, it is deeply troubling if even he, the creator of the Evil Pieces, is finding it difficult to discern these seals. Each time one layer gets unravelled, another ten seems to appear."

"Damn, sounds like a headscratcher. I'd say they'd be trying to get their Sacred Gear users to attain Balance Breaker, but not all of them are always Sacred Gear users nyaaa. Just what is going on in this town lately?"

At Kuroka's words, each of the members of the peerage, Zenki included, became baffled and quizzically about the situation.

"I don't know, but we've got to look into it more…for now though, good job everyone! We've protected the town and stopped whatever they were plotting! For now, we should head back home and…I don't know, let's have a peerage type bath together! Bonding is the best after all!"

[Yay!]

Since all the girls held love for Zenki, they weren't going to pass up having a bath with him, never were they going to give up. They all liked having baths with Zenki, especially now that he noticed their bodies, no longer being children.

"Hmmm?"

Kuroka hummed and looked towards the right.

Zenki furrowed his eyebrows.

"Something wrong?"

Kuroka narrowed her eyes for a few moments, trying to sense something...but when she couldn't, she shrugged her shoulders.

"I thought something was over there, but I guess I was wrong nyaaa."

Zenki looked over there, and couldn't see anything either, shrugging his shoulders.

"Alright then, let's get home."

[Okay!]

With acknowledgement from his peerage, Zenki and the others began walking away slowly.

However, Zenki and the others weren't aware that from afar, someone was spying on them…hatching an evil scheme.
