Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!

DocSlendy; He's lost that thing called a mind years ago, it seems.

Ragna; Yeah, I know a little of it, not that much though to be honest. With it getting such a thing, I will be able to check it out! Thanks for letting me know!

KobayashiSenpai; Thank you! I'm glad that you do, there's going to be more of than in coming chapters. Here's the next chapter!

gundam 09; Thanks! At least one of them is going to be, but I won't spoil who yet.

hellspam; Yup, that certain princess appears in this chapter~ Her mother, will appear in the next chapter, just the younger fox this time, but with a surprise in store for everyone. Asia and Zenki just have good chemistry, don't they? Such a loving couple. Entering an outrage mode...well, just try and murder his peerage, he isn't going to be happy about it. Yup, the two from two chapters ago, make appearances here. Hmmm, it is shown a little in this chapter how she does, or doesn't. Yeah, that would be quite funny to write, actually, when she randomly calls. Damn yeah, poor girl and guy, they are going to be really freaked out. His Mother has done so many things that might not even have appeared on screen yet...it isn't going to be pretty.

War historian; Probably because Jeanne and Akeno would do something like that, I suppose~ Well, he'd want them to get along, he wouldn't want them to fight. If you're talking about losing his V card, then he might be close to it, considering that girls like Kuroka want it. Well, I don't think he'd confess that quickly, considering that they haven't had much interactions in this, despite being childhood friends, it will be shown how they progress in the future. You never know, it could become something like that.

BlueBlade87; Aah, that's cool, I think! Kill him indeed, he's gonna be getting what he deserves in the future! He'll do it eventually, I actually have a heart warming scene between the two of them planned. Le Fay says hey, lol! Well, even in canon she really didn't like her, in this, she has a reason considering what is gonna happen in the future. Yup, it does show him as a character, and how he is. He's got quite many emotions inside of him, different layers. He can be the badass, yet he can also be the worrier and also the kind hearted boyfriend as well as other things that make him into who he is.

Harem Master123; Thanks! Glad ya liked it! Hehe, there will be more of that in the future, from all three of them. Indeed, he always will suck. She is for now, but she won't be forever. Cool suggestions!

RangerElk76; Yup, don't mess with Ravel, she'll get her own back!

dragonsayianblue; He does, but it is leading somewhere, somewhere quite emotional between him, and Zenki. There will be sprinkles of those types of chapters through the story. He's indeed quite nutty. Zenki and Asia just click so well, I love writing things between them. Indeed, we're in Kyoto, and we're going to be having some fun! Well, it will be shown if they are or not this chapter. Kuroka will actually be quite sweet (to Zenki) this chapter. Zenki getting laid, that's a good question, I'll have to do a little poll or something about that. He'll be facing, someone in the future. Here's the next chapter!

Silver crow; Yeah, you surely did. I never intended to change the bad guy of the arc, it's just gonna be modified for other things too. Zenki is eventually going to put him down, and cause his body to break...but, more on that later. Indeed, he'd become quite the envy of people who want Serafall and Gabriel. Yeah, rivalry will ensue, won't they? Yup, they're going to be in Kyoto this chapter, and a certain fox is gonna be appearing too. Well, certain things are gonna happen with Le Fay, I can't say what yet, though. That's Koneko for you, she's quite the odd girl, but funny too. Here's the next chapter!

Guest 1; Unfortunately, I've only ever played the first one, I haven't played the others.

Gabriel790; Thanks!

MrSpice; Yup, there will be indeed lemon's in the future, when that is, I haven't decided yet. Anyone can suggest when if they want, might give me some ideas when. And thank you for the continued support!

mslmob12; Koneko indeed isn't going to be happy, as shown by the end of the chapter. Yup, he's quite the bastard, isn't he? Illuyanka just wants her grandbabies, and wants to make her son happy, and have a good time, so she isn't technically the most conventional, but she does care about him. Akeno is always the tease, and Kiryuu is...Kiryuu. Yup, those two have gotten closer to Zenki! It is gonna be quite crazy, but also good too!

Jamie; Well, that's a very nice thing to say, thank you!

Guest 2; It surely would do, inheriting that from his Father's side, like Father like son, I guess~

Guest 3; There will be quite a sweet scene between Akeno and Zenki when that part of the arc comes along. But yeah, we all do know...she becomes a little too powerful for her own good...either way! It is a good thing! Thanks for the suggestion!

Guest 4; Hehe, Illuyanka would be something like that, or she'd be like "Why you have Condom's? You don't need them, I want my grandchildren!" or something like that. Xenovia is quite the cool character, I have always liked her, at least after the time she threatened Asia, and such, when she apologized, it was all good for me. You never know, it could be Griselda that shows up, it would be funny~ That's one of the reasons they are going to be there, actually. Xenovia, in canon would go to Zenki above Rias' peerage, if only for his DNA that has a better chance of being inherited to their kids, as shown by Zenki himself. Irina, would be more difficult, so that's why she's going to be in Kyoto, to develop a bond between the two of them. Xenovia, I could totally see her doing something like that, she's so random as to do something like that.

JLOC; Yeah, I think pretty much everyone does at this point, and for good reasons too. Jeanne is quite the favourite, and she's going to be getting her chance to shine. Thanks, glad that you liked it!

ShadowUzumaki55; He really does, doesn't he? Yeah, but there's some development there that will, I believe, to make up for that. For now yeah, but there will be more of that in the future. Yup, it was quite the meeting between the two of them, and how they still hold much anger for the other. Yup, off to Kyoto indeed! With Mittelt, it is going to be, quite the unique experience.

Neonlight01; Hehe, don't worry about that, he is going to die, quite painfully. It is going to be quite the fun sight to see, when I get round to writing that. Indeed, Zenki surely did give him a good beat down, more of that to come in the future. That little moment was fun between them, huh. Aika and her shenanigans, she'll be having more of those in the future. Yup, they are going to be in Kyoto this chapter, and are going to be meeting, quite a few people! Koneko won't have trouble with her, but she might do with another girl that's a fox...but Gasper won't be alone, Akeno will be there too. Vali is gonna be denying it, but it's quite obvious, as Le Fay pointed out, that she at least likes him, and wants him to be around her.

Lightwave; Ajuka will be doing that in a future event that I have planned out. Hehe, Serafall and her ways~ She got some time, and she also wants to protect him...God help Gabriel when she does come into the scene. Especially with Sera Voorhees around, you'll want to run away from her. As Illuyanka said, she isn't normal, and probably never will be either. The best scene to write too, though the Asia and Zenki scene was the second best to write.

AlphaOmega; I'm glad that you do! I enjoyed writing it, hehe. Aika, she'll learn to not do that when she learns that he is a Maou's son. Serafall will be appearing more in the future, especially around vol 4 of the LN, she'll be featured prominently there, along with Gabriel. As you said, he's crazy, just not bat shit crazy where he doesn't know anything is going on. He's a manipulative horrible person. Well, he isn't dead, someone will find him, eventually. Kyoto, here they go! Vali really does care for him, but she isn't the type to come out and say it, but it is obvious that she does.

Suyheng; Well, I guess it does annoy some, but that's how Aika is. Once she finds out who Zenki is, I don't think she'll be saying it.

Ryner510; It's those feels. They'll be more of those in the future, so take that as a good, or bad thing, is up to the person hehe.

Skull Flame; He does seem to have lost his marbles a little bit more than usual, doesn't he? Typical, but effective for someone like Akeno, don't you think? Yeah, he does seem quite the patient young guy, doesn't he? He should do considering who he deals with on a daily basis. Serafall's alter ego, is yeah. Yeah, it does strike a question why he was like that in canon, in this story, it can be shown a little more why that is. For obvious reasons yeah, but Gasper will have Akeno. Koneko...you don't know how right you are. When she becomes a little more attached to the others, I suppose. Isn't that a good thing? I find Mizore cute when she's like that. And thanks!

TexasTank; Indeed, she appears this chapter!

Cf96; Thank you!

Anime PJ; They really haven't, but that's good for people that hate him~ Well, he's certainly got the bat shit crazy down. It is a pity that he does, but he'll get over that, eventually, and will actually see his son for who he is, and what he would be able to achieve with his son rather than Diodora. It is surprising, but she just wants him to see it for himself, even with everything she has said. Akeno and her teasing, what can you say about it? Yup, it is very understandable. If it is Aika, Zenki isn't going to allow her to mess with him. While he does want to sleep with Serafall, he's already at least subconsciously decided that he wants to be with Asia for his first time, and damn does he have some self control. Though it is a good thing he does, if he was...getting it on when Illuyanka came in, it would've been way worse than anything else. Ooh he'll come to see it when there's some more development of his character. She wants them grandbabies alright~ She'll even discuss very uncomfortable topics with her son to achieve that particular goal. It does indeed explain a lot about why she knows certain things, Kuroka is passing on information. It does seem like a dick move on their part, but at least Illuyanka didn't feel comfortable doing it, and Ajuka even felt it. But they'll make up for that in the future. Ooh his death is going to be VERY painful when the time comes, very painful indeed. You know, I might just have Zenki tell him to his face to get his own back for everything that Diodora has done to him in the past. But yeah, Asia and Zenki are getting very close now, and will be coming, together, sometime in the future. When, I dunno, maybe a poll or something would be able to help me figure out when I should do it. Ooh God, Jeanne and Fifty Shades of Grey would be a very scary concept to see. She really does, you'd think she might explode with such anger inside of her. Le Fay is...well, she's Le Fay, and will be going through her own development as the story goes on. Yup, it is going to be interesting!

NinjaFang1331; Thank you! Glad you liked it!

Guest 5; Hehe that would be quite funny to see. Yeah, I think that after that would be good. Since it would give a chapter between the serious stuff. Zenki will be having a conversation about that before the fight with Riser, and it will be one of the things that brings them together. That sounds pretty cool though, so thanks for the suggestion! I actually haven't seen the movie yet, but it is on my to do list.

Guest 6; Actually, funny you should say that, because that's how I was actually introduced to X Men when I was really young, and I enjoyed that show quite a lot. With Kitty huh, she was always one of my fav's from the cartoon. Light projection huh, and yeah, that would be awesome. I will give it a think over, thanks for asking!

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


Kyoto, the city of wonders!

"Say Raynare, can I talk with you?"

Kalawarner approached Raynare as she sat by herself in her own room. Kalawarner was dressed in a surprisingly laid back outfit. It was just a normal nightdress, something Raynare was surprised on since she usually wore outfits, that weren't things that you would wear.

The room itself wasn't all that big, just big enough to hold her own bed, and herself. There was a television across the room, and a table next to the bed she had.

On the table, was the thing that Issei had bought for her…

She couldn't get rid of it.

Each time she looked at it, she remembered everything that had happened in such a short amount of time.

Raynare sat up on the bed, facing Kalawarner.

"You're already here, so I don't see why you can't? Something going on then?"

Kalawarner made herself at home, sitting down with a thumping sound of the bed. Raynare felt the bed shake around sitting up on the bed herself, facing right off at the person before her, not sure why Kalawarner had come to her like this.

"Yeah…you know, there's something fishy going on, with Kokabiel-sama, don't you think?"

Raynare inclined her head immediately.

"I've been thinking the same thing. What I don't understand is why we weren't able to contact Azazel-sama. If we do something for him, then we'll be able to get back in good with Azazel-sama…w-why did Kokabiel-sama not want us to contact him? It just seems a little weird to me."

Raynare couldn't put her finger on it, what was going on. She did find it odd that Azazel hadn't talked to them directly, and they were receiving orders from Kokabiel. She had to wonder about that, and many things going on in her life right now, and not just to do with Kokabiel and Azazel.

"Yeah…and making Dohnaseek the new leader? While you aren't the brightest spark in the shed, I think that Dohnaseek wouldn't be the best person for the leader of the group. Yeah, he's strong, but he's as thick as shit. He's not smart, he's the type to rush in and kill and ask questions later. Like he did when he killed that Hyoudou kid."

Raynare's eyes flickered at the thoughts of Ise and how he entered her mind. His face etched itself into her eyes overlapping his image with Kalawarner's for a few moments, and thought about what happened with him, not sure what to even do with that anymore.

"Yeah…idiot, this is all Dohnaseek's fault. If he didn't do anything, and listened to me, this wouldn't of happened. Mittelt is with the Devils right now, and God knows what is going to happen if Zenki-sama gets a whiff of us."

"True enough. But…we kinda egged on Mittelt to go."

A note of guilt came to Kalawarner, thinking about what happened with Mittelt, and how she wasn't exactly going to stop her either.

"Yeah…that wasn't exactly the shining moment of our lives, was it? I didn't think that she'd actually go though."

"I thought that she was just trying to talk big, and get our respect or something. I didn't think she'd do something like go and fight against Zenki and his peerage. I guess that she had more guts than either of us thought…"

"But she's still alive. Maybe she could get away?"

Raynare tried being optimistic, but Kalawarner shot that down immensely.

"It isn't going to be like that, how would she escape? Even you said that he's who he is, and he wouldn't be able to allow her to leave. She can be considered as good as dead here. She's not going to walk away with her life. She'll probably be dead soon, you know?"

Raynare hated to admit it, but everything she thought she knew about Zenki, she was sure that he was going to end Mittelt no matter what else happened, it was only a matter of time before their own demise happened. She was surprised that she wasn't dead alright honestly.

"Yeah…I guess. Well, Mittelt is…gone now, I suppose dwelling on it wouldn't do anything. Even if we feel remorse, it is our faults that she went, as well as Dohnaseek. He's just as guilty as us, but he isn't going to do anything about it…he can't. No matter how tough he is, he isn't tough enough to go against the likes of Zenki-sama."

Kalawarner couldn't agree more than she was right now, her head moving up and down by the second.

"Raynare, think that maybe, if we explain to the Devils, they'll be lenient on us?"

"I don't think so."

At her reply, Kalawarner raised her head to look at the sun rising in the sky.

Her eyes went around the glowing orb in the sky, trying to come to a conclusion where she would be able to feel good, and amazing, but she couldn't see anything that would help her own plight right now.

"You know, this plan of Kokabiel-sama's, I don't really feel that good about it."

At her confession, Raynare hung her head down.

"You mean killing off this perverted girl? Yeah, neither do I. I just don't see anything that would make it good. I mean, what about Azazel-sama loving Sacred Gear users? Why would he want us to do something like take this girls Sacred Gear?"

"I don't know, it doesn't make much sense. But we don't have any choice, because literally, we're stuck between a rock and a hard place. Look at it that way, with the Devils on one side, and Kokabiel, along with Dohnaseek being on the other side. It isn't something that we would be able to do. We're not strong like they are, at best we're going to be used as fodder…I don't wanna die like that. As fodder I mean. It is a useless death."

"Useless death…"

Those words resonated with Raynare, thinking about what happened with Issei, and made her feel like she was going to cry out. She couldn't even think about anything other than how Issei died, and why she felt like she did.

Kalawarner saw that she was looking at the item on her desk.

"You got that from the kid, didn't you?"

More than asking, Kalawarner already knew that Raynare was feeling down about that.

"Yeah…I got it from that boy, Hyoudou."

"Why don't you just call him, Ise? Like he told you to do, didn't he?"

"Ise-kun then." Raynare began, breathing out a lot of air. "He's the person that treated me kindly for the first time…that I could remember. Even Azazel-sama didn't treat me with such kindness…and I know, you're going to say that it is stupid, or whatever. But he made me feel…he just made me feel for the first time. It was only a day, but it was one of the best days ever."

Kalawarner listened quietly, wondering what it would be like to feel like Raynare was right now.

"I think that you've done alright for yourself, Raynare."

"Huh?"

Raynare was a state of confusion, so Kalawarner inhaled a breath and explained.

"You, and this Devil guy. He might be a freaking pervert, but I've never seen you so happy when thinking about him. I've never seen you smile before, and while I enjoy teasing the shit out of you for many things, I just can't help but laugh even more than before, but in a good way for you."

"He's a Devil now, so it isn't like we'd be able to do anything. I fucking attacked him, and probably would've killed him again if Zenki-sama's peerage didn't show up and defend him. He probably hates me now, and for good reason too. I wouldn't like me after everything that I did to him."

Kalawarner could see how Raynare was hating on herself right now, how she was going to be sick with the thoughts she held in her head right now. And, she couldn't blame her for feeling like that, it was just something that Raynare would be feeling.

"Ooh Raynare, you've got huge breasts. Not as huge as mine, but they aren't that bad."

Kalawarner snickered as Raynare's dark glare fell upon her.

"Why are you always making that comparison between us! We've got good breasts, there's no need to flaunt yours over my own!"

"I was just saying that the perverted guy loves large breasts, and you have those breasts. I'm sure that if you flash your tits, you'd be able to have some sexy fun times together with your perverted guy."

Raynare covered her bust with her arms as Kalawarner looked at her chest.

"D-Don't be an idiot, I'm not going to flash my tits off just to get some guy, and I don't even know what I want from him! He's an idiot! Why would I want him anyway!? I just fucking hate feeling like this! Don't make me feel-"

"Calm down." Kalawarner shoved Raynare's face against her bust, and petted the back of her head. "You're always getting so hyper, don't become so hyper all of the time. That's one of the reasons you've become so excited, and wound up, you're always losing your shit, and doing something like this."

Raynare grumbled, and leaned against her friend for support. Even if they didn't show it often, they were friends, and did look to one another for support sometimes. If only this time, they were able to enjoy the others company.


"Hyoudou! Where's Asia-chan!? I haven't been able to locate her since before, and I'm scared that something might be happening with her! Please tell me you know where she is right now, or I might have to become super pissed off!"

Kiryuu rudely asked while attempting to slam her open palm against Issei's head.

His Devils reflexes kicked in, avoiding the hand, surprising that of Kiryuu, the girls hand going further than necessary, and headed for the table, slamming against it, and almost broke it apart, even Issei felt like she could've broken apart the table.

"Why would I know where she is? And even if I did, why would I tell you?"

Issei knew where she was, in fact, even he was privy to the knowledge that Zenki and his group had gone. But revealing it to Kiryuu, he wasn't exactly thrilled about doing that, knowing that she might even try and sneak off towards Kyoto to mess with them, she was like that, after all.

"Because! I know you do! Don't be an idiot, and tell me what's going on already! I have had enough of you keeping secrets from me! Don't you even know anything about my own feelings on the matter!? I want to make sure that Asia-chan is safe from the clutches of darkness!"

Her exasperated words really didn't bode well for Issei, she looked like she was going to make Issei suffer for some reason. He didn't like the eyes that she had on right now, she really looked like she was going to do something to him, and he didn't want to have anything happen to him, from her.

"The clutches of darkness…so, you?"

Kiryuu's eyes changed rapidly, grabbing Issei by the shirt, and dragged him off his seat, shoving his face right into the mans own one, almost like she was going to kiss him, but she didn't, just keeping her eyes and his eyes locked onto one another's.

"Don't you give me that crap! I've been trying to spend time with Asia-chan lately, but she's been too busy with something, and I've had to spend time with you! I really dislike you, and I hope you know that!"

"I don't wanna spend time with you either! Go and do whatever you want! Leave me alone if that's how you feel! Just get lost already! And so what you dislike me!? You're annoying anyway! I don't even want to know anything about you anyway!"

Issei pushed the girl off, but she didn't stop, and kept her tight eyes towards his form, gripping his shirt even tighter.

"Don't tell me what to do! I want to speak with Asia-chan! If I don't get out my feelings, something dangerous is going to happen, and if that happens, I might not be able to recover from anything or anyone, ever! So, please don't piss me around, and tell me what's going on right now!"

"They've gone! Now leave me alone! They wanted to be away from you! Can't you see that!?"

Kiryuu dropped Issei to the ground, putting a hand over her mouth, and looked like she was going to cry at any second, but no actual tears actually fell from her eyes.

"T-They wanted to be away from me!? Why would they want that!? We're friends! Can't you even say something like that!? We are friends and you can't even say something like that! Heh, you're jealous that you're the one that makes me feel like I am going to die or something like that!"

"That's quite dramatic!"

Issei argued, Kiryuu's deadly eyes fixating on Issei.

"I didn't say that it was my world or anything. I will recover, unlike the fact that you're still a virgin, like your virgin friends. So, don't you feel sorry for me, I've got people that love me, you don't have anything like that, and that's how it should be."

Hitting him where it hurts, Kiryuu wasn't pulling any punches today.

Since she couldn't be with her friend Asia, she wanted to make others feel bad.

But Issei really wasn't going to take it today, already feeling things about Raynare, and wanted to make sure that she was going to be okay, and wanted to know what was going on with her right now.

"D-Don't talk about my virginity! Aren't you a virgin yourself!?"

Issei countered, only irking Kiryuu even more than she thought that it would, hitting a sour spot in her life.

"How do you even know things about that!? I'm who I am, and I am not going to make anything feel good or bad about anyone! Don't talk about me being a virgin either, you're making me feel bad right now!" Kiryuu's eyes blazed red as Issei turned away from her. "Don't ignore me! I have things that I need to do! Don't you even know my own feelings for that right now!? I'm going to die right now, I feel sad and depressed at the same time! Please don't make me feel sad or anything!"

Issei was confused now as Kiryuu stormed out of the room.

He stared at where she left for a few moments, trying to make sense of anything that had happened…but he couldn't even understand anything that was going on right now, he didn't understand it in the slightest.

"What the hell is wrong with her!?"

Issei shook his head with a dramatic sigh, not wanting to even be near her anymore. He felt, complicated on the matter of what was going on. He didn't even know what was going to happen when Kiryuu was around.


"Okay! We are here now! Everything's ready, and we're going to be going!"

Zenki announced as he, and his peerage plus Mittelt stood outside of a train station, in order to board the bullet train. Each of them were ready for the adventure, they looked ready to have a good time, no matter what was going to happen.

Each of the girls were dressed rather beautifully, or cutely. At least in Zenki's opinion that seemed to be the case.

Valerie was wearing quite the summer dress, with flowers decorating the whiteness of the dress. She also wore her hair into a rather long ponytail, looking quite like Akeno's hair does usually, for some reason the others didn't know.

Asia went for a skirt, and shirt that was decorated with hearts, and being pink. She even carried a pink handbag, Zenki not sure where she got that from, but found it adorable nonetheless on the girl he loved.

Koneko wore biker shorts, and pure white shirt with a cat on it, and a no sleeved jean jacket over it. She also held sweets in her hands, taking one every so often and placing it in her mouth, eating it happily.

Kuroka opted to wear her usual outfit of the kimono which she loved wearing the best. Unlike the others, Kuroka genuinely looked astonished about why they were taking a train towards Kyoto, when they could teleport.

Jeanne is wearing a pleaded skirt, and a top that exposes her navel. She also wore a flower clip in her hair, parting her bangs.

As for Mittelt, she wore her usual gothic Lolita clothing. Though, the colours were slightly brighter from the darker colours that she usually wore. She also looked quite annoyed right now with what she was going to be doing.

Ravel opted to wear a beautiful looking kimono, Kuroka actually approving of it. It showed how she was going to be representing not only herself, but Zenki, and also the Phenex clan as well. She looked ready to go.

Zenki on the other hand was raring and ready to go. He wore a green shirt, and also some green shorts, the same colour as his hair. He held some passes in his hands, and looked towards all of the peerage members.

Looking at his peerage members and Mittelt to see that he was paying attention (he was surprised about that), Zenki nodded his head, and then beamed brightly towards all of the girls present, including that of Mittelt.

"While in the Underworld, I was able to get these passes that allow us to visit places that we wouldn't be able to do usually, like shrines and other places. Since they are usually foreign enemies to us Devils, we needed to have special passes, which I obtained."

"Awesome! We'll be able to look at different places in the future of Kyoto! We're going to have fun!"

Jeanne cheered as she held her pass tightly in her hands.

Koneko looked at her own pass, and put it wordlessly inside of her pocket.

"It seems to be the official thing, that's really beautiful."

Ravel placed her own one inside of her kimono, keeping it with her at all times.

"This looks quite ugly. I don't even know why I have to do anything."

"Hey, you should be appreciative of us not trying to murder you nyaaa."

Mittelt shrunk under the burning gaze of the Nekomata girl, the elder one. Mittelt watched as Kuroka moved closer, and put her hands on Mittelt's shoulders, making her shiver, and making her feel like she was going to die.

"Y-Yes, Kuroka-sama…I-I didn't mean to say anything out of turn. Y-You know I'm a good girl really, and I wouldn't want to do anything that makes you feel upset or anything, that would be the last thing that I ever would want."

Mittelt submissively looked side to side, and make a light giggling noise at the very thoughts running around her head right now.

Kuroka smirked at the dominance that she was displaying right now.

"That's a good girl. Don't worry, you won't have to worry, I will keep your Loli body safe and sound, isn't that good of me? I'm being really nice to you right now, I really hope that you appreciate the kindness I am showing you right now. If not, then I might have to become upset, and that's never a good thing, is it really nyaaa?"

Her words dripped with deep, and scary affection.

Mittelt felt like she was going to die right now, just the hands on her shoulder alone was making her feel like she was dying. But the gaze of the girl made her feel even worse than it did beforehand. Kuroka's eyes fell upon Mittelt's, making her body shake and shiver.

"Kuroka-sama…I'm a good girl…I won't speak out of turn again…"

Mittelt's voice was meek, almost like a lambs…no, it was like a lambs voice. It was very low, and scary at the same time, it felt like she was going to scream, cry and fall at the same time. She really didn't know what to do when Kuroka was doing what she was doing to her. Bullying, being kind, it all blended together for Mittelt, it never stopped.

"You're a very good girl, Mittelt. Let's continue being a good girl, and I won't have to do anything to you." Mittelt shed tears of pure sadness and fear, so Kuroka leaned down and wiped the tears away with her little finger, the girls head right next to Mittelt's own head, sending fear into her even more than beforehand. "Hey, what's with the tears sweetheart? You don't need to cry nyaaa. I'm just trying to make sure that you're a good and pure girl nyaaa. There's no need to worry about anything at all."

"I-If you say so…t-then it must be true…"

Kuroka nodded, and leaned her head against her shoulder…Mittelt felt intimidated, scared of what Kuroka would do to her if she didn't give up anything that she was supposed to give up. That, was the last thing that she needed to happen to her.

Asia examined her pass with an intrigued expression.

"With this we can visit the temples of Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji, Ginkaku-ji, right Zenki-san?"

Zenki confirmed it while nodding, surprised Asia knew about them, since they weren't of her faith, though he thought that she actually just looked it up.

"That's right Asia-tan." Zenki grinned, putting his in his pocket. "It will allow us to visit places like that, and also places that we usually wouldn't be able to go. Because we're going on legit reasons, we were given this…I guess you could call it a bus pass. We're able to go pretty much anywhere with these things."

"Ooh, that's amazing Zenki-kun. I've always wanted to traverse the areas of japan, and see what I have been missing. It is going to be amazing to visit all of these places. I wonder if we'll see any Youkai there?"

Valerie was also interested in the matter, and wanted to know what was going on with that. She also wanted to know if that was something she wanted to see. Youkai that was. She wished to see some…but that irked a certain Youkai girl.

"What? Am I not good enough for you nyaaa? And what about Shirone? We're both adorable Nekomata's…fuck, we're even Nekoshou, and you're treating us like we're nothing at all. Thanks very much sweetheart, I now know where you're coming from when thinking about us. I think that wounds like that cut deep, deeply into my psyche and I won't be able to ever feel good ever again nyaaa. Are you happy with yourself? You've destroyed my self-confidence and ruined my heart forever and ever. I won't ever be able to recover from this."

Kuroka showed her displeasure while crossing her eyes at Valerie.

Valerie rubbed the back of her head shyly.

"I-I didn't mean it in a bad way. I just heard that there are some people in Kyoto like…erm, there's a Queen of Kyoto, I am sure…the name is…erm, I can't remember the name, but I've heard that she's quite the powerful woman, and has been known to stay quiet…"

Valerie expressed while shrinking under the eyes of Kuroka, the girl looking ready to butcher someone at any second.

Zenki looked between them, then shook his head, and looked serious.

"Since we're going to Kyoto, and going to meet important people there, I thought that I might as well get the crap on the table, and say that when we're there, please be respectful to them. We don't want talks of peace going down the drain yet. Though that's not what we're going for, there are talks of said peace in the future with the everything that's going on. I am sure that Sera-tan is also going to go, and become friends with them in the future. Since we're also apart of the Maou-sama's line, somewhat with my Tou-chan being a Maou-sama, we can't lose face, and we have to show our best foot, and go forward with the mentality that we're there for peaceful reasons."

"Don't worry Zenki-sama, we'll all be on our best behaviour, won't we Kuroka-sama?"

Kuroka's eyes shot towards Ravel menacingly.

"What was that you slut nyaaa?"

Her voice was menacing, unforgiving. Ravel even flinched from the words that she used, it made her feel like she was going to die or something. She couldn't even think straight at the thought of Kuroka being cruel to her.

"L-Like that Kuroka-sama, you can't call me a slut or anything like that. It is rude, and disrespectful, please don't say anything like that when we're there. I'm sure that Zenki-sama would say the same." Kuroka looked towards Zenki, who nodded. "See, Kuroka-sama? That's it, we'll have to make sure that you don't do anything wrong. You're sticking near me."

Kuroka felt like she was going to die…

She couldn't stand sticking with Ravel the whole time, and expressed as much while trying to control her own tears and fears, and even her worries and doubts, it didn't resonate with her that she needed to stick near Ravel.

"For Maou-sama's sake…being near Ravel, when I want to have fun…? D-Does that mean I won't be able to do anything with Ravel-chan and make her suffer for all eternity or something…? Will my dream of having sex in Kyoto being unrealized?"

"I wasn't planning on having sex though…"

Kuroka leaned closer to Zenki, and bent over, her breasts becoming visible to his eyes at the sight of her form. She looked at him, alluringly, and licked her lips sensually, putting a hand to her top, pulling it down to show some more of her breast, Zenki's breath hitching in his throat.

"Silly Zenki-chan nyaaa. We're going to be doing something like having cute adorable sex with one another. Even Shirone and I are going to be joining forces to have fun with one another, in a threesome kind of way nyaaa."

Zenki sweatdropped while blushing, Koneko blushing even more about that thought.

"R-Right…w-we should go and get on the train…"

"Yup! Let's go Zenki-chan!"

Jeanne was the first one to go to the train, followed by the others.

One after the other got on the train, until on Zenki, and Kuroka were left outside of the train.

She walked closer towards him, and fixed his collar, surprising him at the gentle nature of her touch.

"There nyaaa. You've got to look your best if you're going to Queen Youkai nyaaa. Well, I'm sure you'd be able to do that anyway nyaaa~ Since you're the cute Maou-sama's son, I shouldn't expect anything other than you being able to do something adorable like this."

"R-Right, thanks…"

Zenki truly meant it, he was thankful for her to be like she was.

Kuroka smiled a Cherish cat smile, and leaned closer towards him.

"By the way nyaa. I thought it was really cute when you tried to be all serious then. It really did leave much to the imagination nyaaa."

"Ooh thanks, sounds like I can't even be serious…"

Dejection came to Zenki's face, the boy looking mildly upset that he couldn't command authority.

Kuroka giggled, shaking her head from left to right.

"I didn't say it like that nyaa. I just thought that it sounded cute, your serious side, is all. It must mean a lot to you for this to happen. I haven't seen you so serious in a while, ever since back then nyaaa. But now, you're being dead serious, and doing things that are oh so adorable, and making me feel excited to see what you're going to do in the future. By the way, you do seem quite serious, what is this thing for anyway?"

"Just something for an old friend."

Zenki's reply made her furrow her eyebrows in thought.

"An old friend nyaaa? A girl?"

Kuroka took a wild guess, since Zenki didn't seem to have many male friends, beyond Sairaorg.

Zenki showed a daring look to his face, something Kuroka looked like she was going to do something.

"Perhaps."

Kuroka gained a smirk, and cupped his chin, bringing his and her faces closer together.

"Don't be so adorable all of the sudden nyaaa. You're keeping things from me, and I feel complex about that nyaaa. So, why don't you tell me what's going on nyaaa? You don't have to be so quiet about what we're doing nyaaa."

"Sorry." He apologized, showing a loving smile. "It isn't like I am keeping it for the sake of making you feel annoyed. Officially, it isn't something that I should be doing. But when I heard of the prospect of doing it, it really was something I was intrigued in, and couldn't say no. Though it is unofficial, with the right materials, I should be able to build something really revolutionary and will be able to make something really special, and it could become something that will help the races blend together, and have a new and wonderful life together."

Kuroka still had to wonder what he was talking about, but it didn't really matter all that much in the grand scheme of things.

"Well, whatever you're making, I am sure that Zenki-chan will do an amazing job. He's always been quite amazing in things like that. ever since we met, you've been making everything good with your kindness. It is how Shirone and I were able to be together for as long as we have, and we've been able to decide on a single man to make us real women nyaaa. By the way, if that isn't a big enough hint, I want to say that, Shirone and I want to also have sex with you nyaaa. Maybe she brought it up, but we want to have ours at the same time nyaaa. Wouldn't that be a good thing nyaaa?"

Zenki scratched his cheek at the thought of Kuroka and Koneko both wanting to lose it on the same night to him. Even he, as polite and innocent as he was about sex, couldn't stop imagining the two Nekomata girls being around him and offering their bodies to him.

"Y-Yes, it would be good…"

"That's good nyaaa~ Because we love you nyaaa, and you'll have to take responsibility for our feelings as well nyaaa. Don't forget that you're the one I've decided to have children with nyaaa. Those fuckers are going to be the cutest and strongest children ever. Just me alone would be good, but to think that Zenki-chan would be the Tou-chan too, who is like the son of a Maou-sama, and also the fiery Dragon-chan that is your Okaa-chan. Hmmm, would our children be Nekomata Dragon's or something? That would be pretty cool nyaaaa~"

"I do…I do take responsibility…"

"That's good, because you belong to us. No, fuck them. You belong to Shirone and myself nyaaa. The others are inconsequential."

Without another word, Kuroka crushed her lips onto his own in a fiery kiss.

At first caught by surprise, he watched as he kissed her. But soon, he regained sense, and kissed her back, both of them breaking the barrier between their mouths, and entangled their tongues together, passionately holding one another.

At Kuroka's behest, Zenki put his hand on her large breast, and cupped it lovingly. Kuroka's face broke out into a smile, as she ran her hand across his chest, slipping it inside, and almost touched his nipple, but stopped at the last second, preferring to trail her hand down his chest. Slowly, inch by inch, her hand went downwards, slipping over his flat stomach, until it reached his shorts.

Zenki wouldn't allow her to go that far, so he gripped her hand, and held it tightly in his own hand, the pair smiling into the kiss they had.

It lasted over a minute, then they broke apart, a trial of salvia separating the two of them. Zenki felt his heart race, while Kuroka felt satisfied with the kiss.

"Kuroka-tan…"

"Yeah nyaaa?"

She answered, so Zenki smiled softly.

"You can't be mean to Ravel-tan you know? She is getting upset about it, and if you continue, it might really hurt her. So, will you please lay off her for now? I know you like teasing her, and whatnot. But I think she's taking it seriously. Especially when you call her a whore, and a slut and things like that."

"Ugh…alright, I won't call her names or anything. Though teasing would be fine, right nyaaa?"

"As long as she doesn't become upset, I suppose. But not too often. She is a good girl after all, and she doesn't deserve being bullied like she has been. I only want everyone to be happy after all, so please allow that to happen."

Kuroka had no choice but to begrudgingly agree with that, nodding her head.

"Okay nyaaa. I can do that. Since it is Zenki-chan that's asking me, I can't deny his request now."

"Thank you."

Kuroka smirked a little bit, and leaned closer.

"But, since I'm doing this for Zenki-chan, may I suck your dic-"

"Nee-sama!" Koneko's strict voice came from behind. Turning, they both saw Koneko pointing to the door of the train. "Go Nee-sama, you're going to make us late for the train, and we'll miss going to Kyoto. So, please go."

Kuroka stuck her tongue out, but nodded and walked away regardless.

Zenki walked over to Koneko, and offered his hand.

"Ready my adorable Rook?"

Koneko took his hand shyly, and looked up at him with a blush on her adorable cheeks.

"Y-Yes…let us go."

"Yes, let's get to it then."

Earning a nod from Koneko, the pair of them walked off together, and made smiles appear on their faces, ready to go and have a good time, unaware that a certain someone was following after them, from the shadows.


Later on, Zenki and the others were relaxing on the train going towards Kyoto, to their new adventures ahead. Since leaving the house, Zenki has had an odd feeling that he was being followed by someone, but when he looked at where he thought that he was, there wasn't anyone there at all.

He found it strange, honestly. He wasn't even sure if anything was going on, but he had an odd feeling that there was something going down right now, and that something wasn't a good thing at all, if he was honest with himself.

He looked towards the aisle, but he couldn't see anyone. He thought that he did see someone, but he didn't see anyone…he felt complicated, like someone was following him and he wasn't sure why this person was doing this.

"…Senpai nyaaa…y-you're looking at something…"

Zenki sat on a chair with Koneko on his lap, playing with her Neko ears slowly, twirling her tail with his other hand, reading a book over her shoulder, but kept looking around as he still felt like he was being spied on.

"Yeah, I thought that I saw something, but I guess that I didn't see anything at all."

Koneko groaned as she felt his hand entwine around her tail, stroking it up and down.

"Nyan…Senpai makes me feel good…"

Koneko muttered while blushing slowly, enjoying the time that she had with her Senpai, and the lap that she always wanted to occupy.

"Do you like that, Koneko-tan?"

Zenki breathed densely against her ear, the girl shivering at the exhaling he did.

"…Senpai knows my best places."

Innocently, Koneko bent her neck, and showed a small smile that was just meant for him.

Seeing that, Zenki placed a hand on Koneko's flushing cheeks, rubbing gently.

"Hehe, it's because we've been together since we were children. I know many things about Koneko-tan and her sensitive places. Like the back of your right ear." Using his finger, he gently scratched behind her right cat ear, causing Koneko to meow sweetly, even erotically. "See? I know Koneko-tans places. So Koneko-tan, are you excited to be going to Kyoto right now with everyone?"

Koneko nodded, continuing to meow at the finger Zenki was using.

"Nyan…Zenki-senpai is cruel…scratching that place…"

"Sorry." He grinned. "I can't resist teasing Koneko-tan sometimes. She's just so cute after all. Especially after everything that has happened between us recently. Remember, our little kisses that we sometimes share."

Koneko blushed even more, showing a cuter side to herself, collapsing onto his chest, purring erotically, rubbing her head against his chest at each scratch of her ear he gave, igniting fluttering feelings inside of her.

As that was happening, Asia who was sat next to Zenki, was talking together with her best friend Jeanne, who was sat right next to her, in a seat of three of them. Since Koneko occupied Zenki's lap, Asia was able to sit next to him.

"Jeanne-san, did you hear about how we're going to be getting our dream of coming to the loving land of Kyoto! It is so exciting, isn't it?"

"Aye, it surely is Asia-chan. I still have to make sure that Zenki-chan accepts my BDSM idea somehow though for when we have some kinky fun time together…maybe that could be my thing…but I don't want anyone else other than Zenki-chan to punish me…what is this dilemma I am feeling right now…?"

The confliction in Jeanne frightened Asia somewhat.

"Y-You really like being punished, don't you?"

She chuckled with the same nervous face that she expressed on her face.

"Of course!" Jeanne expressed, lifting her hand up in a triumphant manner. "It is the passion of my life! I have to do things like this! It is the awesomeness of my existence! It is what I drive to have! Aaaah Lord! Please bless me as I journey into the life of having serious fun with cute and adorable punishments!" Because she prayed, she received a shock through her system, and twitched her body, feeling like lightning was running through her. "Oooooooooooooooooooh~ This is the best thing in the entire world~ I love it~ I really do love it~!"

Asia smiled weakly at her best friend, and waited for her to get over the attack of the masochism, wondering why Jeanne loved being in so much pain.

Kuroka was sat opposite of Zenki, Ravel being situated next to her, both reading some manga…or rather, some inappropriate manga that they shouldn't be reading on the train, or anywhere else really that's in a public place.

"What are you reading anyway Kuroka-sama?"

Ravel inquired, only to regret it when she saw two males on the front. One was obvious in their teens, and the other was…a Shota that looked awfully like Zenki. Besides the red hair, it could be a perfect match for Zenki.

"I'm reading this new manga, Shota and his lover. It is a new series that focuses on the love between a Shota, and his male lover, and what they would do together in different scenarios. Today, they've got to a park, and they are doing things together that they shouldn't be doing in a park. Ooh my, it seems like they've also gone to the end of the park, and to the toilets nyaaa. I wonder what's going to happen there? Ooh maybe they might embrace one another in a sexy way, and make the dream of Shota love realized."

Kuroka showed a lewd face, smacking her lips together erotically.

"Other words, a Yaoi Doujinshi then?"

Ravel even felt sickened by saying that aloud, where everyone could hear her, but she couldn't put it in another way, it had to be said in that kind of way.

Kuroka nodded with a wide smile on her face, a dirty smile at that.

"Pretty much nyaaa. It is very fascinating to read, and see what they are going to do. They have such a cute love. Damn, Shota's are very fucking adorable, aren't they? That's why I am training Zenki-chan, so he can become even more adorable, and make sure that he uses that cuteness when we have sex with one another nyaaa~ Yes, I think that adorable sex is going to be amazing, and we'll be able to have fun even more than before nyaaa. We'll be able to do it nyaaa. And then when we become one with one another, I'll have to amass my love for Zenki-chan and give him some adorable children."

Kuroka twitched her upper body, Ravel looking over the manga, and noticed something wrong with it. No, she noticed that the person she was looking at, was someone that she didn't even want to look at right now.

"A-And, it seems that person looks like Zenki-sama, though."

Ravel pointed out, Kuroka's smile widening even more.

"It does, doesn't it nyaaa? Yeah, I think that's why I like this the best nyaaa~ It is like Zenki-chan with red hair, such a thing that is fucking adorable. And seeing him being taken again and again until he reaches the pinnacle of sexual ecstasy is-"

"I don't really want to know about your Yaoi fantasies, to be honest."

Ravel cut her off, not really wanting to explore Kuroka's inner desires.

"Well, be that way bitch. I will be enjoying my Doujinshi."

"Yeah, read your porn and allow everyone to know that you're disgusting. People are on this train, you know that? People will be able to see your disgusting fantasies on display and will ridicule you, and think you're mad."

Ravel countered, proud that she was able to get one up on Kuroka. But Kuroka wasn't going to do that, and she made sure that she was going to do it.

"Well, people think you're gay so…"

"Who thinks I'm gay!?"

Kuroka giggled dirtily, trying to control herself, but it was very difficult for her to do something like that.

"Sairaorg-san said you're gay."

"Sairaorg-sama said I was gay…?"

Ravel lost all reason, and bought into Kuroka's lies, the girl snickering.

"That's right nyaaa. He told everyone in the Underworld that he thinks you're a butch lesbian for Seekvaira-chan. Speaking of that chick, I haven't seen her lately nyaaa. I wonder where she has gone? I loved teasing the shit out of her, and making her scream from the heaven's when she tried things with my Zenki-chan. She always cried out when I groped her large tits."

Kuroka had to wonder where she was, even if it wasn't all that important to begin with.

"Ooh my…f-for Seekvaira-sama? To think that I'd be gay for her…b-but, that's a lie! Sairaorg-sama wouldn't say that about me! He doesn't think that, you're only saying it to hurt me again! I wish that you wouldn't hurt me like this! And I don't know where Seekvaira-sama is! Maybe she is keeping away from you!"

Ravel growled back, not wanting to get into an argument with the woman, but she was anyway, and fell for the trap that Kuroka set for easily.

"Whatever, I'm getting back to my Shota manga. I've gotta make sure that they end up together in the end nyaaa. And I don't need this kind of abuse from you, who is only trying to hurt me, honestly. I know that you're doing it, because I am just someone amazing, and you're not, so leave me alone in the future nyaaa." Seeing Ravel's hurt looks, Kuroka slammed a hand against her forehead. "Holy shit, I just realized that could be seen as bullying, and I promised that I wouldn't do that to Zenki-chan. Damn it, sorry Ravel-chan, but I've got my manga to deal with. If I've offended you, then I suppose I am sorry, from a legal and technical point, but otherwise, I don't really care all that much."

Kuroka opened her manga again, and saw two males…doing what Kuroka really liked, smacking her lips together. Scarlet danced on her cheeks as she continued reading her manga, each panel becoming something she engrossed herself in. Her breathing became a little more melodious as she read the pages, Ravel looking frightened as she pulled out a manga herself.

"You're disturbing Kuroka-sama…"

Ravel muttered as she returned to her own manga, Kuroka none the wiser that she was reading something quite similar as well, her face tinging red when reading what she was reading, and seeing how the character she read about also kinda resembled Zenki.

As that happened, Valerie was playing games together with Mittelt, while sitting in a cardboard box together and were having fun. At least Valerie was having fun. Though Zenki didn't understand why they seemed to like sitting in cardboard boxes, but didn't question it and allowed them to do what they needed to do.

The pair of them held handheld devices in their hands, and were playing a game together. Though Mittelt said that she wasn't having fun, Zenki could see that she actually was having fun with one another.

"Ooh my, Mittelt-san. This game is strange. What is it called?"

"M-Monster hunter stupid!"

Mittelt yelled, her fingers mashing the buttons. Valerie wore an impressed face, seeing how into the game Mittelt was, and how she had the ability to do the same speed that Gasper was capable of doing, wishing that she could do something like that.

"I-I see, this is a strange occurrence. So, if I pull that trigger, I swing this sword that my character has, and it hits the violent monsters coming for me and sometimes kills them. It deals damage, and makes them submit to me eventually, taking their lives. Ooh Maou-sama, I've just killed something that looks like a puppy. Does that mean I've done something very bad right now? Well, I suppose it doesn't matter all that much, honestly. What a violent type of game."

Valerie noted, having a small smile on her face, and lips. She was quite engrossed with playing the game, she couldn't even stop doing it. She really liked slaying the monsters with her sword. She only wished that she could teleport herself into a game, and then do what she needed to do in the game, it sounded fun to her.

"It's fun thooooooooooooooooooooooooough!"

Mittelt screeched, drawing the others attention, frightened each and every one of them. Each of the humans thought that Valerie and Mittelt were causing too much noise to even be stable right now for the rest of the train.

"I see. But Mittelt-san, remember. Indoor voice."

Mittelt held her head down in some shame, but continued to do it regardless.

"S-Sorry…."

It was surprising that she actually apologized for what she did. Even Zenki and the others were surprised that she actually apologized for what she did.

"It is alright, please don't be worried. Though you are a naughty Fallen Angel-chan, it seems that you enjoy playing games."

Mittelt became a little bitchy again, and turned her head away from Valerie.

"It's because I like them. That's all. And I still haven't forgotten that you're Devils, doing things that you shouldn't be doing to me. I'm just an innocent girl with an innocent face, and I've been kidnapped like this."

"You're not innocent sweetheart, I wouldn't class you as innocent. So, don't say such things like that, because you're not innocent, and I don't think that you are as innocent as you appear to be. Don't be a naughty girl, alright? Since everyone is giving you a good chance, I think it would be good to try and prove that you're a good girl."

Mittelt was going to say something, but she was stopped when Kuroka peered over her manga, and looked her in the eyes. Catching the eyes of the girl, Mittelt almost died when seeing the eyes Kuroka had for her. It almost was like she was going to cry such harsh tears.

"I'm sorry for being naughty! I didn't mean to be naughty!"

Kuroka couldn't help the smirk gracing her face, and loved how she was able to control Mittelt like she was, and while her reactions weren't as funny as Ravel's, she was going to take anything that she was going to get.

"That's a good girl nyaaa. If you don't be a good person, I definitely will make you feel bad forever nyaaa." Zenki looked up to see that Kuroka was talking to Mittelt, Kuroka noticing and winked in his direction lovingly. "Something wrong Zenki-chan nyaaa? I'm not picking on Ravel-chan nyaaa."

The green haired boy shook his head, returning to play with Koneko.

Kuroka looked on at the pair playing together, and showed an enjoying expression on her face, and she couldn't wait to do what she wanted to do with Zenki when getting to Kyoto. She wasn't going to leave without anything happening. She wouldn't, and couldn't leave. She needed something to happen, even if she didn't know what that something was yet. She was going to make sure something happened, whatever that something was.


Back in Kuoh, in the clubroom, Akeno looked a little down as she played with a cup that was in her hands. There was some tea in her hands, and she enjoyed swishing it around, attempting to forget that she felt sad that Zenki had gone, even with everything that had been happening as of late, and how he took care of her, it didn't mean she felt any less sad that he was gone.

"Zenki-kun…I wonder if you're having fun right now? I'm sure that your peerage really is keeping you busy right now, and whatever else that you do with your peerage. I am sure that you're having fun with them right now. I wonder if you'll come back a virgin or not? Knowing that Kuroka-chan, she'll surely move in on you, and if Asia-chan tries anything, then Zenki-kun surely is going to have his hands full. Fufu, to think that Zenki-kun might come back not a virgin anymore, it makes me feel good. An experienced man would be good."

Akeno giggled within her mind, wondering what Zenki, and his peerage would be up too. She was sure that it probably would be sexual, since Kuroka was there, and Valerie as well.

Rias entered but a few moments after Akeno finished musing to herself.

She witnessed her Queen sitting on the couches alone, and despite the fact that school was still in session, Akeno didn't want to go to class, and it only worried Rias.

"Akeno, is everything okay?"

She asked kindly, moving closer to Akeno.

Akeno looked up, and tried to smile, but failed miserably.

"It sounds silly, but I miss Zenki-kun already. It hasn't been all that long, and it seems stupid, but I can't even think about anything other than Zenki-kun right now."

Rias understood why Akeno was depressed, and walked closer, sitting down on the couch near her.

"You've always been close, Zenki and you I mean. It must be difficult to do something like not be there when Zenki is there, huh. You probably feel a bit angry at being my Queen right now when Zenki is the man you've decided to stand beside, but I wouldn't allow it."

Rias thought about it sometimes, were she had might've been selfish and not allowed Akeno to follow after Zenki. If she had of done, she wouldn't be feeling the way that she does right now, with everything going on.

"No…I love being Rias' Queen." Akeno confessed, but held a sombre expression. "But I would've loved being Zenki-kun's Queen as well. They always seem to be having adventures, and while I know Zenki-kun indeed cares for me and makes me happy, I can't help but think that if I was on his peerage as well, then I would be…"

"Having more fun than you do with me."

Rias sighed, but Akeno shook her head.

"No, Buchou is a lovely King, and I am grateful to Buchou for everything. I just wish I could've done something more with Zenki-kun before going…even if we did go on a somewhat date, it was cut short by Illuyanka-sama."

"Ooh yes, I had heard about that, it seems Diodora still causes Zenki some pain. I don't know the full story, but it seems that something happened, and that Diodora had a beating again. Onii-sama asked me to talk with Zenki about it, but he wouldn't talk to me."

Rias confessed, feeling crappier by the second that she wasn't able to help her friend, despite the fact that he had helped her often.

"It isn't just Buchou, but also myself, and everyone else. The only one that he said anything to was Asia-chan, and I don't even think that Zenki-kun told her much either. Whatever was said, really made Zenki-kun feel upset."

Akeno didn't even know what was going on with Zenki right now. While he seemed to be quite normal, it didn't even appear like that when looking at his eyes. Something had changed since the day before he saw Diodora, and the day he did see Diodora, and afterwards. Whatever was said, really did make everything change within Zenki, but he was a very good actor, and could hide most of the pain and worry to himself, but Akeno could tell that he was hurting in ways that most wouldn't be able to understand.

"That's because Diodora is a bastard, that's why. Even I know some of what Diodora did to Zenki when they were younger together. He never told me everything though…maybe he felt embarrassed or ashamed or something like that."

"Maybe that's it Buchou…"

Rias looked at her Queen, seeing how she looked sad, so she smiled softly.

"Hey, the next time Zenki goes on some kind of trip, you can go with him if you want."

"Buchou?"

Akeno thought her ears were disbelieving her right now.

But Rias allowed a jaunty smile on her face.

"I don't see anything wrong with it. If it is Zenki, then I know he'd take care of my Queen. Since Ise is knew to the peerage, I needed to have you around just in case something happens. But next time, I'm sure Ise will be inducted by then, so I don't see a reason as to why you wouldn't be able to go with Zenki on a trip."

Akeno's eyes lit up with renewed excitement.

"Ooh Buchou, you don't know how much that really made me feel happy. To be able to go on a trip with Zenki-kun, that really does make me feel good inside of my breast right now."

"Don't you mean heart?"

"I know what I said." Akeno smirked, and cupped her large asset. "These breasts of mine, only Zenki-kun knows the feeling of them. He always touches my breast, and his face lights up into a wide arching smile. Somehow, I think that Zenki-kun really does love these breasts of mine. Fufu, I can't wait to use them to help Zenki-kun feel good."

Rias' face turned confused and even blushed a little bit.

"S-So, you and Zenki are already in that kind of relationship, then?"

Akeno allowed her already beautiful face to turn even more radiant as she lit up the world with a loving smile.

"Ara, yes we are. Since it is a time where Zenki-kun and I basically sleep nude, he always nuzzles between my breasts, that's where he is the most relaxed. He's a good boy really, but sometimes he comes in, and cuddles up to me adorably. Even though Zenki-kun is that good boy, I bet he uses his Shota looks sometimes just to get cuddles from me. Fufu, not that he'd need to do that mind you. He can have a cuddle when he wants to have one."

Rias' face turned even more red, and looked out of the window, imagining a nice life with a boyfriend as well. Though, that guy had no face right now, since she didn't know who she would want as a partner.

"Must be nice to have someone like that…"

"Ara, Buchou. Do I detect a hint of jealousy in your voice?"

Rias twisted her head to the side, not wanting to be talked about.

"N-Nothing like that. I was just thinking about something, is all. Relationships, I bet they really are nice to think about, huh. Being in one would even be better, wouldn't it? Fufufu, thinking about you and Zenki being together really does make me smile."

Akeno's adorable looking face turned to a teasing one, budging closer to Rias.

"Buchou, it couldn't be that you're thinking about me and Zenki-kun because you're going to be doing something with the pair of us?" Rias spluttered, shaking her head again and again, but Akeno just tittered to herself. "Fufufu, I really am happy that Buchou could think like that. such a naughty girl, she wants to go between a big breasted girl like me and a Shota-kun like Zenki-kun."

"N-No! I wouldn't want to do that! S-Sona would, not me!"

Rias tried to deflect it to Sona, but Akeno saw better however she decided to play along, knowing Rias has other things to worry about right now rather than what happened between Zenki and herself in the past.

"I see, so Kaichou is also after Zenki-kun? Makes sense, since Zenki-kun is the one that has made her feel good in the past."

"Yup, but Sona wouldn't just confess. She's stubborn like that. Though it is clear that she does like him, for pretty much the same reasons that she has said in the past, she doesn't say anything, yet she becomes annoyed when seeing others doing things with him."

"Kaichou is just that type of person. She doesn't know how to get close to Zenki-kun. She does it in her own way, but doesn't want to admit that she likes him. I think I heard her say once that the person that beats her in chess would be the person that she'd spend all of her time with, meaning she'd accept that person as her significant other."

Rias nodded her head as she folded her legs on the couch.

"That's Sona for you. She's kinda weird when it comes to her affections for Zenki. Too bad Serafall-sama isn't here, she always made sure Sona brought out her affections…but then he'd have to deal with polar opposites wanting to do things with Zenki and such. Either way, we should be getting too…"

At that moment, Yuuto came into the clubroom.

Rias grinned from ear to ear, and leaned closer to Akeno, whispering "Watch this…" and walked over to Yuuto.

"Hello Yuuto, are you okay?"

"Yes, good day Buchou. A-Are you well?"

Rias nodded and leaned closer to Yuuto with a wide smile on her face.

"I am very well thank you. Also, Yuuto, you know, Zenki has gone now from Kuoh to Kyoto."

Yuuto's face turned unsure of the smirk that came to Rias' face.

"Yes…Zenki-sama has gone now, hasn't he?"

"That's right, he's gone now. That means, you won't be able to converse with him face to face for a little while. How are you feeling about that?"

"N-Not so bad."

Rias put a hand to her chin, and hummed a little bit in thought.

"I see, and the fact that you won't be able to eye up Zenki must be depressing for you?"

"Buchou…"

Rias put a hand on Yuuto's shoulder, and squeezed softly.

"It's okay, you know that I love you regardless."

"R-Regardless of what?"

Yuuto still wasn't sure, but Rias was right in there with a kind and loving face for Yuuto.

"For the love you have for Zenki of course."

"B-But, I don't!"

Yuuto argued, having a red face.

Rias grinned even more than before.

"Don't worry Yuuto, I still love you. Remember, I support this. If you want, I can give you tips on how to make sure that you and he end up together? It wouldn't be so bad, would it? It wouldn't be so bad if that happened, I would be happy anyway."

Akeno felt her face to light up, as Yuuto's face turned even redder, for reasons, even Rias didn't truly know. If it was embarrassment, or something else, she wasn't sure. But she looked doing this sometimes for some harmless fun.

"Buchou, Zenki-sama is just a friend of mine…h-he's kind a-and-"

"Cute."

Rias added with Akeno nodding in agreement, Yuuto shook his head.

"N-No…I-I mean, yes b-but I don't…"

Rias saw that Yuuto was struggling, so she pulled back away from the line of conversation, not wanting to make her Knight feel more awkward than he already did.

"Alright, I will stop for now. It seems like you're having a difficult time in trying to make sure that you and him have a fun time together. But don't worry, I am sure that if you wanted, there are ways around certain things…"

"Buchou…erm, I came to…give you this from Kaichou…a-and that's it…" Yuuto handed Rias some papers, and then bowed his head. "M-May I leave now?"

Rias tittered, nodding her head.

"You may leave now. See you later Yuuto. If you'd also like to call Zenki up, and confess…anything that wants to be confessed, can be confessed. It shouldn't have to be judged, it is alright my sweet Yuuto."

Yuuto looked terrified of Rias as she twitched her body. He didn't even want to know what she was thinking when her face turned bright red, and even how her body shook from the left to right hand side of everything.

"Goodbye Buchou, Akeno-san."

Yuuto bowed his head once more, and left through the door.

Rias returned to the couch, sitting next to the intrigued Akeno.

"Say, Buchou, you don't think Yuuto-kun is…"

"I don't know." Rias confessed, putting the papers down on the seat next to her. "He could be, or couldn't be. There's evidence both ways, and I am fine with either. Actually, if he does, then I wouldn't be all that bothered. I'd actually be happy with being who he is, and expressing, whatever he wants to express. We'll just have to wait and see, won't we Akeno?"

Akeno smiled, and then giggled at the very thought. Rias soon joined in, and the pair ended up falling back on the couch in a fit of giggles.


Zenki and the others eventually arrived at the station they wanted to arrive at, and were happy. It was quite large, of a station, the ticket booth being straight away once stepping outside. The bright and beautiful colours drew in everyone that was around, including that of the girls, and boy of Zenki's peerage, and of course the boy himself, even Mittelt looked star struck.

"Nyaaaaaa~" Kuroka yawned as she stepped off the train. "Well, that was worth it. Damn, the weather here is good. I like it. I can even see the sun shining outside of the world, and peaking inside to greet our day."

Kuroka strolled out of the train first, and folded her arms across her bust. She looked around, a gentle smile on her lips.

"I have to admit that this is the first time I've ever been to Kyoto. The atmosphere here is quite pleasant. I can't even compare to other towns. Even this station looks like it wouldn't lose to the stations back in Tokyo or anything like that."

Ravel mumbled while looking around at the sights. She appeared next to Kuroka who gave her a passing look, and didn't say anything else, the pair of female wearing kimono girls all being excited to see what was going to happen.

Koneko sniffed in the air as she walked out of the train together with Zenki, and twitched her normal ears, hiding her Nekomata ones.

"…I can smell many Youkai here already. Even though we've just entered, I can smell many different types of Youkai. The condensed ki in this area alone is making me feel different that Kyoto. It is different to the place we come from. Freer, is a good way to say it."

"Sounds like you like it, Koneko-tan?"

Zenki noted as Koneko latched onto his hand, strolling around as he waited for the other peerage members to come out.

"I don't mind it."

She admitted, not letting her excitement get the better of her, wanting to experience seeing other Youkai as she didn't get the chance to do it so much as she currently was, only interacting with Kuroka for the most part.

"That's good. Because, you'll be meeting some Youkai in the near future."

"Nyan?"

Koneko tilted her head, confused.

Zenki smiled, and petted her hand with his free hand.

"Don't worry, they aren't bad or anything. Actually, it is going to be quite the enjoyable experience to say the least. I have to admit that I am going to have to have some fun with everyone while here, and the Youkai here are friendly."

"…Does that mean Zenki-senpai has seen the Youkai here before?"

The boy nodded his head at Koneko's adorably question.

"I've met them a few times before yeah, and we've done, some things together before. Though there has been sometime since I have seen those people before."

"Senpai never said anything, though. He never even said anything when coming here."

Zenki scratched the back of his head and smiled weakly.

"It wasn't like I was trying to hide it, I just didn't have any reason to bring it up beforehand. I've been, having a good time with everyone and didn't see the need to bring it up before. But yeah, I've met the Queen of Youkai before, she's a nice woman. Quite beautiful and for people that would notice something's, her oppai are very big, maybe even bigger than Kuroka-tans and Akeno-tans, though I wouldn't be able to tell without them being next to one another, or not having measurements."

"…Is she a Loli?"

Koneko expressed her worries, Zenki chuckling and shook his head.

"Not at all. She's very opposite from a Loli. I remember her having very big breasts, and nine long luscious tails, and when I was younger, she'd scoop me up with her tails, and I fell asleep for hours on end on the fluffiness of the tails together with a certain someone. It was really nice, I miss times like that where everything was much simpler than it is now."

"Senpai sounds nostalgic."

Koneko hadn't heard him sound like that before, in fact he looked really happy, and it was confusing for Koneko why he was so happy about coming to Kyoto. It didn't make sense to her, why he would sound so happy, about coming to a place that wasn't run by Devils.

"Yeah, it is pretty sentimental, all of the things we used to do. My parents and I, I mean. Diodora also came with us on occasion, but when in Kyoto, it was like it was a new and interesting experience. I loved my time inside of Kyoto, and enjoyed myself immensely. It was probably one of the only times I came here with my parents, and they wouldn't focus on anything other than me…and Diodora, but I had my Kaa-chan's full attention, and that was always lovely. We were able to enjoy each other's love and warmth and embrace to one another."

Koneko now understood why he liked coming to Kyoto. She could see the gleam in his eyes, and how happy he looked. She honestly couldn't remember the last time that she saw him looking so happy beforehand.

"…Because Senpai always held his parents attention here more than anyone else, that's why Senpai seemed excited before."

"Yeah, that's right. Kyoto holds a lot of good memories for me. I'd love to come here every week if I could help it, but right now, it seems that's a pipe dream…either way, I guess it doesn't matter all that much. Since my parents aren't here and all…but we're gonna make memories all of our own."

"…I'll make many memories with Senpai."

Koneko professed with a cute little smile on her face, Zenki bending down to her level, and pecked her on the lips, Koneko's face turning a little red from the desire she felt from Zenki, and her own desire bubbling up inside of her.

"We'll make many memories, and not just here either."

Koneko's cheeks tinged a little pink, holding his hand a little tighter than beforehand.

"Senpai's really…"

Koneko's musing's were cut short when Mittelt shuffled out of the train while carrying a handbag that Zenki didn't know that she had, and made a bright and wide smile on her face, something that immensely contrasted what he had seen beforehand.

"So, this is Kyoto? I haven't ever been before. I didn't think it would be so bright and beautiful. Ooh look, the sun is shining! Haha, that's awesome. The lights of the sun bathing my skin in its warmth is surprisingly a very enjoyable experience indeed. I didn't think that I'd ever experience a feeling like this again after being taken by Devils, and such."

Mittelt wandered around the area, being mindful to stay in sight of Zenki.

"Wow, she's not moaning for a change. And what's this? She's actually smiling? I didn't know that she could do that."

Ravel giggled, appearing next to Zenki. Zenki smiled at Mittelt's happy face.

"It's good that she's finally beginning to relax, and realize that we aren't actually trying to kill her."

"She has been down an awful lot lately, hasn't she?"

Ravel mused aloud, earning a nod from Zenki, and tossed a hand through his hair.

"She's been put in a place where she doesn't understand. She's been placed in the care of Devils, and basically told by the leader I assume she admired that she basically wasn't important enough to pass judgement on, and keep for himself, and handed her off to the enemy. While some of her actions have been annoying, and generally something that even pissed me off, I can't really blame her for feeling like she was."

"I suppose looking at it like that, it does excuse some of her actions. Not all of them, but some of them can be excused."

At Ravel's thoughts to the others, Mittelt looked towards Ravel and the others, showing her interest.

"What are you guys talking about?"

Bemusement fell onto Zenki's face, shaking his head from left to right.

"It doesn't matter, we were just talking about something, it isn't important. You don't have to worry."

Mittelt wasn't sure if she should accept that answer or not, but she allowed it to continue, and slowly rotated her head left and right, not really all that bothered about doing whatever she needed and wanted to do.

Jeanne and Asia came out of the train last, once having gathered everything that they needed, and looked around with excitement. They looked like kids in a candy shop, exploring new and interesting things they hadn't seen before.

"Wow! Asia-chan! Look, there, and there! So many lights, bright and beautiful lights!"

"Yes, yes! Even though we've just stepped off the train, everything here is fabulous!"

"Not just fab, but also amazing! I can't even think of anything else! The pretty lights, the amazing look of everything going on, and what could be happening! We're enjoying ourselves more by the second! I am so super excited right now!"

"Me too! This is the land I thought Japan was the first time I heard of it!"

Like a few tourists, Jeanne and Asia were excitedly pointing everywhere and anywhere that they could do. Jeanne had her phone out, and was taking pictures of everything and everyone that went by.

"Geez, it is only a train station, no need to be so hyper. We've not even left, and you're acting if you've seen God or something when you really haven't before nyaaa. There's no need to get so over excitable when we're only just beginning our adventure."

Kuroka spoke with a fluent voice, Asia turning towards her, and put her hands together.

"No, that's not it Kuroka-san. Because it is the fact that this is the place that Zenki-san has taken us, we're so very excited. We are taking a vacation with everyone were we haven't been able to have one in a while."

Jeanne wrapped an arm around Asia's shoulder, and bequeathed them with a loving smile.

"She's right, we're able to experience a loving and embracing warmth from everyone around! Just think of what we'll be able to do in the near future! We're going to have the best time! I can't even think of anything else that we'd need to do!"

At that moment, Zenki's phone went off, a message.

Intrigued, he took his phone out of the pocket in his shorts, and read it quietly to himself as the girls all looked and awed at the sights. Even the likes of Kuroka was aweing at the sights before her, despite trying to play it cool.

Once reading the message, Zenki smiled a bright smile.

"I don't have a meeting until tomorrow morning, so we've got the rest of the day. Since the meeting was supposed to be today, I thought that I'd be seeing her straight away, but she just text me saying that the meeting will have to be pushed back until tomorrow morning. So, we've got the entire day."

[Yay!]

Everyone, including Mittelt for reasons she didn't know, made a loud noise, and called the attention to themselves.

"First of all, we should get out of the station, and enter the outside."

At Zenki's words, the group all left the station via the west exit. As they walked, Asia and Jeanne couldn't get their heads around the new environment, and the exciting stuff they'd see. Zenki himself was happy to be back in Kyoto, while the others were in awe at the sights going on around them.

Ravel then got out a map as they walked out of the station together, acting like the navigator for the group.

"According to this, our hotel is just down the road, about ten minutes away…"

"Who died, and made you the tour guide?" Kuroka flashed her cat smile, only for Zenki to give her a look. She recoiled, sighing openly. "I mean, why are you the one who is the tour guide, may I ask why sweetheart nyaaa?"

Ravel's eyes fell upon Kuroka, and held up the map.

"I've got the map, that's why. Since Zenki-sama charged me with the map, I thought that I would be the best to do it. Clearly, Zenki-sama trusted me, so please respect that, and allow me to continue forward."

"Whatever you say~"

Kuroka growled, but accepted it regardless.

"Come, going left would be the best way to get there. Past the bus station, and then making a right at the turning point would be the best way to get there…"

Following after Ravel, Zenki and the others followed after her.

"Ooh Zenki-san, that's the Kyoto tower, isn't it?"

Zenki saw Asia pointing that way, so he looked and saw the same large tower in the distance across from the station.

"That's right, we'll be going up there in a few days, if you want too Asia-tan? We'll be able to have fun up there, and I think that with a few strings pulled, we'd have it all to ourselves and we'd be able to have fun together."

"Of course!"

Asia cheered loudly, the gang all walking towards the hotel.


As they walked, and talked, two people came from the opposite direction.

They walked together. While one was calm, the other was cheerfully swaying her body around excitedly.

"I can't believe that we are here, Xenovia! This is like a dream! I've always wanted to come to the city of Kyoto! Aah Lord, I really am enjoying myself right now, I can't ask for anything else other than this right now!"

The excitable one cheered as the other named Xenovia looked a little annoyed.

"Irina, we still have our mission to do, we cannot hold ourselves back for something like this. I won't allow your cheerfulness to break down the walls of the mission. That's what matters after all, and don't waste our money on something that we don't need either."

Irina showed a cute pout on her face, enclosing on the girls and boy walking closer towards them.

"I wouldn't do something like that. But, you should also relax on this mission, until we find who we're looking for. If we go past the station, we'll be able to get to our destination!"

"We'll find him, and we'll bring him to justice in thanks to the Lord, and make him repent for what he had tried to do."

Irina swayed her body as she continued to move, running a hand up and down the lace that was tied around her arm.

"Don't worry, with my Excalibur, I won't be losing to anyone!"

Xenovia looked to the sword wrapped in cloth on her back, nodding to herself.

"Because this is a dangerous mission, we'll have to be…"

She then stopped.

That was because Zenki and the others came walking past, laughing together.

While that wouldn't be an odd occurrence, it was when Zenki and the others all looked in their direction with hard eyes for a few moments, sensing something holy coming from them, and it made all of the Devils uncomfortable. Mittelt was the only one who didn't really care that much about the holy power leaking from the girl duo.

Zenki and Xenovia's eyes met one another's, and instantly, the pair knew that the other was dangerous.

Xenovia was more in the worry than Zenki, since he was with his peerage. Zenki on the other hand looked at the pair of them, looking as if he had seen them before, but he couldn't quite place where he had seen them before.

"Zenki-san…"

Asia clutched Zenki's arm, as Zenki brought her closer than before.

Zenki peered at all of the girls around him, seeing how they looked ready to fight. Even Mittelt looked like she was going to fight for what she needed to fight for. Ravel hung back with the map in her hand, Kuroka pushed her back, and stood next to Zenki, as did Jeanne, staying near Asia just in case. Koneko joined Zenki's side, and showed a menacing look to her face. Valerie finally, like a true Queen would, also stand beside her King and make sure that nothing happened with him.

It was a natural response to Exorcists being around, especially ones that had holy auras around them.

Zenki on the other hand had a completely relaxed face, as if he wasn't staring off at an enemy at all.

Irina and Xenovia had their hands on the lace and sword respectably, if anything was going to happen then they were ready.

In the middle of their stare off, Zenki's phone suddenly went off.

Irina and Xenovia turned confused as he held up a single finger.

"One moment please."

Zenki took his phone out of his pocket, and peered at it curiously.

The number that came up was Akeno's.

"Hello, Akeno-tan? Is something going on?"

The Exorcists just looked at Zenki weirdly, considering they were at odds, and he was answering a phone call.

[Ara, Zenki-kun you answered.]

"Of course I answered. I said that I would...but right now, I'm kinda in the middle of something. Unless it is super important, could I call you back?"

Xenovia and Irina shared a look between them as the peerage and Mittelt just looked not that bothered.

[Fufu, it is okay. I just wanted to hear Zenki-kun's voice because I miss Zenki-kun, and now I have. So, what's going on over there?]

"Aah, I've got some girls that are staring at me funnily, one has a sword, and the other has a lacy type thing on her arm also has the same aura as the sword." Irina and Xenovia furrowed their eyebrows as Kuroka's face lifted up into a dirty smile. "So, could I give you a call back soon?"

[Sure, it is okay. Ara, could Zenki-kun already be scouting out girls?]

Zenki resisted the urge to chuckle.

"Nothing like that. They are...well, one's giving me the evil's, and the other is a twin tailed girl who is giving me a nice smile."

Xenovia scowled as Irina smiled wider.

[I see, and are they cute?]

"Yeah...I'd say they are cute. One's more cute, and the other is a different type of sex appeal. Anyway, I've got to go, speak later."

Both the Exorcist women tried to work out which one was which when he was speaking then, and couldn't figure out if they should be happy, or offended.

[Fufufu, have fun Zenki-kun~]

With that, the phone went dead.

Zenki took a breath, and then was about to speak, when Kuroka tapped him on the shoulder.

"Akeno-chan?"

She guessed, Zenki nodding his head.

"Akeno-tan. She said she missed hearing my voice."

"Awww, next time we'll leave Ravel behind and take Akeno-chan with us."

"Don't even start with me in front of the Exorcists."

Ravel spat out, Kuroka stuck her tongue out adorably.

Zenki looked at them for a few more moments, then leaned forward with a cute smile on his face.

"Hey Exorcist-sans! You seem well equipped for a fight, don't you? But that's okay, we're not here for a fight, and we don't want to fight against you either. So, if you could also leave us alone, we'd gladly leave you alone."

Irina and Xenovia shared a look of surprise between the two of them.

Irina moved closer to Zenki, peering into his eyes, trying to place where she had seen Zenki beforehand.

"You're…you look familiar."

"Hmmm, I was thinking the same thing. Seems like I've met you somewhere before, but I can't place you."

Zenki was intrigued about what he was seeing right now, Irina was in the same case.

"Maybe…erm, your name is…"

"Irina, we should go." Xenovia cut her off, and stood before Irina, looking down at Zenki. "If you're going to get in our way, I will cut you down."

At the threat, Kuroka leaned forward towards Xenovia, startling her with her fast movements. Xenovia took an involuntary step backwards, as Kuroka folded her arms across her bust, showing her superiority.

"And if you threaten my King again you little whore, I will shove that sword through your ass, ripping apart your innards with your damn holy sword, and make it come out of your big mouth which will rip a massive hole in your smaller breasts than mine, and expose the thing that you have in the place of your heart, your ice, you cheeky little bitch nyaaa. So, wanna go away now before anything happens to you sweetheart?"

Xenovia for some reason felt really unnerved.

She didn't know why, but she just felt really unnerved right now. She couldn't even breathe with the look that she was receiving right now. While Kuroka didn't sound all that threatening, the eyes she had on really didn't make anything look that good. She was sure that something was going to happen.

"Kuroka-tan, you're going to cause a war like that." Kuroka pouted, but Zenki petted her head. "But you were defending me, so that's okay." He looked towards Xenovia, and smiled cheerfully. "Sorry about my Pawn, seems like she really didn't like how you spoke to me. But as I said before, we're not looking for a fight, so we're going to be leaving now. If you choose to attack, then I will defend myself. But I won't be the aggressor in the fighting, so you have nothing to fear. We won't be attacking you."

Xenovia's eyes narrowed at the King of the peerage, as Irina smiled weakly.

"That's okay! Yes, we'll be going now. Come along Xenovia, we'll leave this Devil-kun and his peerage alone."

"I'm actually not apart of his peerage, get your facts-" Mittelt stopped when Koneko glared at her. "…N-Never mind, I didn't mean to say anything out of term."

Mittelt bowed her head, Zenki looking at Irina again.

"Good, good, we'll also leave you alone. We're not here for a fight after all."

Xenovia couldn't believe that, she couldn't accept it for even a second, as she kept her eyes on his form, not sure where she knew him from. But she did know him, but she couldn't place it, and it was annoying her that she couldn't understand what was going on with him.

"Ooh, I see! Well, we're here looking for-"

"There's no obligation to tell him anything, Irina. Do not forget, he is a Devil, he is our enemy, and he will destroy us or we'll destroy him."

Xenovia cut off Irina again, the chestnut haired girl making an apologetic face towards Zenki and the others on behalf of Xenovia, even if she wasn't going to apologize either, it wasn't going to happen in the slightest, Xenovia was stubborn after all.

"But, if he knows anything then…"

Zenki was intrigued by what she said then. It seemed like there was something going on, the inner nerd in him had only just gained curiosity at the thought of something going on with Kyoto, but he didn't have the full details, and didn't plan on getting involved either, it not being something he'd be able to do.

"We're not accepting help from a Devil. It is against the belief to accept it…"

Xenovia stopped, and looked at Asia, her blonde hair catching her sight. Asia flinched when Xenovia's eyes fell upon her, she felt like she was going to die from the look of Xenovia.

Zenki noticed something was going on, so stepped in front of Asia, blocking Xenovia's eyes from looking at her.

"Is there something you might want from my Bishop?"

Zenki felt Asia grasp his hand from behind, so he took it back, and held it comfortingly, so she didn't have to fear anything.

"Nothing, Devil."

"Alright then, Exorcist-san." Zenki looked at his group, beaming like he wasn't in the middle of a dangerous situation. "Come along everyone, we've got daylight burning here! We've got to have some fun!"

[Okay!]

The peerage and Mittelt cheered, and walked forward, following after Ravel.

Zenki stayed there until everyone had gone past, just making sure that the girls didn't try anything. He didn't sense killing intent coming from Irina, but from Xenovia, he certainly felt killing intent rolling off of her right now.

Xenovia looked at Zenki for a few moments, and then walked away, Irina and Zenki standing there, alone together.

"I'm sorry about my partner. With being Devils and all, she really doesn't, and couldn't distinguish between good and bad Devils…a-at least, you don't look like bad people. T-Though, the cat girl was quite scary. E-Even if she's your peerage member…she really does look quite dangerous…sorry if we spoke out of term!"

Irina twitched her body at the thought of Kuroka, Zenki scratching the back of his head with a shy smile on his face.

"She does seem quite scary, but she's only trying to make me feel safe and such. I'm sorry about that, if it frightened you. But my words do hold water. I won't be bothering either you or your friend over there. We're here on vacation, is all, and we're not going to be doing any fighting if it can be helped."

"Aah, going to Kyoto on a vacation must be really grand!"

Zenki smiled at the girl, gaining a small pink on his cheeks from looking at Irina…a holy girl in his eyes, and couldn't help but look, wishing that he didn't have such an attraction right now, even denying it in his head.

"It is, and we're going to be quite the busy people in the near future. So, we really don't have anything against you or your friend, nor would we want to impede you of whatever it is that you're doing here."

"Ooh, it is okay. While I know Devils are supposed to be bad people, I feel like you're a good Devil! By the way, what's your name!?"

"Zenki, Zenki Astaroth, yours?"

Irina almost fell over at the name. Her legs were buckling at the name. sweat came to her brow, she felt nausea inside of her stomach. Not because of Zenki…well, not because he had done anything, but the name alone was enough to alert Irina to who he was.

"I-I-Irina…Irina…Shidou…"

"Shidou-san huh, that's nice! May I call you Irina-san instead!?" Irina couldn't do anything other than nod. "Awesome, call me Zenki, okay!? Have a good time in Kyoto! If you need a hand, don't be afraid to look us up, kay!?"

Irina nodded again, Zenki smiling and bowed his head, then walked off to join the others.

Xenovia walked closer to Irina, checking if she was okay.

"Irina?"

Irina felt more sick than before, watching Zenki walk away.

"Ooh God…t-that was…h-he is…w-we c-can't f-fight against h-him Xenovia…w-we'd be d-dead…"

"What? What's going on?"

Xenovia tried to connect, trying to see what's going on, Irina went over to a nearby lamppost, leaning against it as her heart pounded against her chest. She felt her heart going faster and faster in her chest, and going to an insanely fast pace.

"X-Xenovia…s-she's…s-she's…I mean…he's…he's really…Zenki Astaroth-sama…"

At the name, Xenovia could see why Irina was alarmed, putting a hand to her chest.

"It can't be, Zenki Astaroth, the son of Beelzebub Maou-sama. He's also The Green Annihilator…"

Xenovia felt her body tense as she said those words, Irina shocked by the words.

"It seems weird…the stories of Zenki-sama have really been…b-but I heard that his name was The Black Dragon of Obliteration."

Irina brought up, Xenovia not really registering what was going on right now.

"Either name is acceptable, and there are more…b-but if that really is Zenki Astaroth…we need to be careful, Irina. We can't face that man lightly. I've heard the stories, and we won't be able to do anything against him…"

"B-But he seems kind enough…"

"We best not mess with his peerage though…I once heard that he obliterated a city of evil because they targeted the peerage of his."

"That was a rumour Xenovia, it could've been misconstrued to something else. But he was nice enough to us. From his appearance, I don't think that he's a bad person, he looked good enough to me, and he was kind. If he is Zenki-sama, then we could've been killed but he didn't do anything, even apologized to him…a-and, I also feel like we've met before…"

Irina stopped when Zenki whizzed around.

Rather than show anything scary, he merely waved at the pair of them with an adorable smile on his face.

Xenovia flinched, feeling like she was going to die.

Irina awkwardly laugh and wave back sheepishly.

Zenki put his hands behind and turned away after bequeathing them with kind smiles.

"Xenovia, are we going to die?"

"Maybe if we really anger him. Better get away from him."

Irina nodded purely out of shock that they had met Zenki.

"Excuse me…"

A young girl came past Irina and Xenovia.

Curiously, they looked and saw a blonde haired girl following after Zenki and the others, ducking in and out of shadows like some kind of follower, or stalker would be a better word to say in this kind of situation.

Both Irina and Xenovia tipped their heads to the side.


A few minutes distance from the station was a massive high class hotel. Its name was the 'Kyoto Ajuka Hotel!', and upon seeing the name, Jeanne almost burst out laughing.

"...Looks like our Maou-sama's name was very influential even in the ancient capital! Hahaha, to think that even Zenki-chan's Tou-chan here has influence, and can even be considered something very amazing from having such a hotel! I love it already!"

Jeanne swayed childlike as Kuroka looked down the street to see something else as well.

"As a side note, also nearby there's a 'Kyoto Serafall Hotel' under construction. Are you few trying to claim all the prime real estate around the Kyoto railway station, Maou-sama nyaaaa!? I knew she'd do something like that, damn Maou-sama! Next time, she'll bleeding appear as well!"

"I can't disagree with you there." Valerie looked at the hotel, and smiled to herself. "At least we know that Devils also own places in this town. It almost makes it feel homelike. I feel good when looking at this place. It is a place we Devils will be able to enjoy ourselves."

Expressing her thoughts, Zenki peered at the others as he went forward, the others following after him.

"The hotel is run behind the scenes by the Astaroth family, obviously considering the name and all. Hence, we were able to book rooms at nothing at all. Sometimes it does pay being my Tou-chan's son. We'll be getting the best rooms in the entire hotel."

After showing their identification to the attendants at the entrance, we were given detailed instructions to the lobby. Inside of the hotel, Mittelt, and Asia were shocked by the luxurious decor of the hotel.

"Amazing... Is it really fine for the peerage to stay in something like this...? I still think this is really extravagant for people like us…"

Asia expressed a very sensible opinion, but this was no ordinary place. Since it was owned by Zenki's Father, it wasn't lacking in the aesthetics department. It looked like a hotel of gold around. Asia wouldn't be surprised if it actually was gold.

On the other hand, Koneko was much more calm.

"Yes it's amazing, but compared to Zenki-senpai's house, it's still a bit lacking."

"It is true. That one was a real authentic castle. The reason why I wasn't shocked by the splendor of the hotel was because I had experienced Zenki-kun's home already. Upper class Devils, they really were quite something."

Valerie passed on her thoughts while giving an intimidating look around the area.

Going inwards a bit from the waiting area, we saw the entrance to the lobby. In that vast and spacious lobby, Zenki and the others could see that it was an area where they'd be able to have fun and such.

"Awesome, it looks so amazing! I can even see an open bath over there! Gotta try that later!"

Ravel surprisingly was super excited right now, she was holding herself and twitching her body around. Kuroka was even surprised by the girly side Ravel showed when entering the hotel, and what she'd be able do in the hotel.

Everyone took their luggage and received their keys from the attendants at the lobby entrance.

They all headed for their rooms, via the elevator. Since their rooms were on the top floor, they rode all the way up while having small talk.

Though Zenki got everyone a room, he was almost certain that beside Mittelt, they'd all occupy his room anyway, he was very certain of this.

Making it to the top floor, everyone went to their respective rooms to either dump luggage in or what have you.

The rooms were western style double bedrooms.

Zenki's room was quite grand, having a very large bed, the largest in the hotel, he made sure of that. The wall paper had a complicated pattern of swirls and other things. The side door to the right held a bathroom inside of it, including what happened to be in bathrooms.

Zenki walked over to the bed, and collapsed onto it, humming a little bit to himself as he looked towards the window, a place where a balcony was. Seeing that, Zenki got up off the bed, and went onto the balcony.

Looking outside of the hotel, he saw many beautiful sights of Kyoto.

"Wow…I'm back…I love this city…"

Whispering like a giddy child, it took everything he had to not yet.

Here, Zenki felt relaxed, as this was one of the only places he really felt good. He remembered all of the times he had there with his parents, and what they did together there. Everything that happened in Kyoto, was a good thing.

He heard the door to his room open, due to everyone from his peerage and Mittelt having access to his room, and the others also having access to the other peoples rooms, he was intrigued by who was coming through the door.

His eyes saw Valerie being the one who came through the door, and walked all the way to Zenki, giving a kind smile.

"Hello Zenki-kun, you seem to be happy right now."

Zenki smiled, and overlooked the city again, drinking in the sights of the area.

"I really do love Kyoto, I'd even live here for some of the year if I could."

Valerie smiled softly, and moved to the side of the boy, and held his hand as they both overlooked the city.

"I've not seen Zenki-kun this happy in a long time. You really do love Kyoto, huh."

"I do, this is a good place. I like the fact that when here, I can recall a time where my parents and I smiled together. Before everything happened, my parents took me here, and we'd have a true family bonding. There weren't Maou-sama's, Dragon's, or even stupid supernatural stuff getting in the way of what we were going to be doing. We were just parents and child on a vacation. If only Diodora didn't come with us. But since we were watched more closely, Diodora couldn't really do anything to me while here. So, this place invokes a place of safety and kindness in me. Weird saying that now, since I know I'm stronger than Diodora. But that's how I feel when here. Does it sound stupid?"

Valerie adopted a kind smile, shaking her head from left to right.

"Of course it isn't Zenki-kun. If that's how you feel, then that's how you feel. I'm glad that Zenki-kun is smiling again. Since seeing Diodora, you seemed to be really sad, and it was bad for the rest of us since Zenki-kun always smiles."

"Sorry to worry you."

Valerie giggled nervously, her head moving left to right in rejection.

"N-No! I didn't mean it like that! I was just thinking about, something else, is all! But you don't have to apologize, it was just worrying us all when Zenki-kun isn't happy. Because each of us really care about Zenki-kun, and how we feel, we wanted to make sure that you weren't sad anymore. S-So, did coming here relieve you of your sadness?"

"Yeah, it did. Thanks Valerie-tan."

Valerie bequeathed him with a kind smile, as he did the same.

He then furrowed his eyebrows, going back to a different topic.

"But I do have to wonder what those girls were doing here in Kyoto, and why I thought they looked familiar to me when I shouldn't of met them before…. I've probably met them before, but I can't remember where that was. I'll get it eventually."

"Probably." Valerie agreed, and overlooked the city again. "Because of those girls, are we going to investigate them or anything?"

Zenki vehemently shook his head.

"We can't. They are of the Church, we cannot interfere with their actions unless they influence us directly. We'll just have to be careful and stay out of their way, and I'm sure that at least Irina-san would stay out of our way."

"It makes sense. So, what are we going to be doing today Zenki-kun? Since your appointment has been postponed for today, is there something we're going to do together? Like, maybe going out into the city or something?"

"There's nothing else to do…well, we could always stay at the hotel, and have fun here I suppose. But either is fine with me…say, Valerie-tan, have you been having the feeling that we've been…I mean, have you had a feeling of being followed or something?"

Valerie tipped her head to the right in doubt.

"Now that you mention it…"

"Like, from Kuoh before, did you feel like we've been followed by something?"

"Actually, I have felt like something…I-I just thought that it was me…"

Valerie admitted, Zenki feeling slightly worried now. But then he recalled something obvious, and expressed it to his Queen.

"I don't know if we're just being paranoid of not. If we were being followed, Kuroka-tan or Koneko-tan would've said something about it."

"You're probably right. They would've said something about it. Maybe we're just being overly cautious or something."

"Yeah, it's probably that! Anyway, we should go and have some fun, yes?"

Valerie nodded her head, and put a hand to her breast.

"A-Also Zenki-kun, while we're here, we could…erm, if you want to…try anything with my breasts, then I would be okay with it…"

Zenki was stunned by the sudden offer from his Queen, and blushed slightly.

"Y-You're suddenly become more forward, haven't you?"

Valerie giggled and inched closer to Zenki's face.

"Because of the other more aggressive girls, I have to show my affection even more than before. So, even though there are other girls, I've decided to show my love to Zenki-kun and do things like this." Valerie in a bold move for her, hugged Zenki's head against her bust, his face breaking out into a blushing mess. "There, even though they aren't as big as Kuroka-sans, you can also enjoy my breasts. S-So, does Zenki-kun enjoy my boobs?"

Asking with a slight teasing touch to her voice, Zenki's face broke out into a smile.

"O-Of course, they are great!"

"So honest, that's a good thing though."

Zenki smiled at his Queen as she did with him, enjoying one another's company.


After making it back to the hotel from a day of fun, nothing of interest really happening in the way of big events, and settling inside, Zenki went to the open bath that they had there, since he knew that the water was the best.

Since it was evening, barely past nine in the evening at that, Zenki looked up at the skies, and felt relaxed, and content. The skies looked like the stars were dancing, and he found himself relaxing. The water of the bath was soothing, healing of his worries and insecurities that he held just before.

Zenki looked at the still waters of the large bath. The beautiful waters reflected the skies above, and made it dazzling. He saw some areas of the bath being produced with hot water, and it spread over to his body expertly, something he had done in the past, and enjoyed it immensely.

"Haaaaah!" He stretched his body and yawned. "To feel good like this in a bath like this is the best…"

Zenki felt his body warming from the bath itself, enjoying it.

He was surprised that the others hadn't jumped in yet. Since this was a gender-neutral bath, he was sure that they'd take the chance to come inside, but they didn't, and he was confused by that. and while he loved his peerage around, sometimes just relaxing by himself made him forget the troubles of everything going on in his life…especially that of Diodora.

His back rested on the side, as he looked left and right, seeing that the bath was pretty much empty. No, in fact, it was empty, there weren't anyone that was around. However, inside of said bath, he couldn't forget what happened when first arriving.

"Those two Exorcists…they clearly weren't here for me, as they would've tried something. But, if it wasn't for me, why where they here? And what is their objective exactly? Could it be that there is something going on that even I don't know about right now? Hmmmm, I will have to…but, I can't investigate, it would be me messing with the Angels side of the Factions, and I can't do that without permission…sometimes it sucks being me…stupid influenceable me can't even get involved…damn, this is going to bug me…"

Zenki wasn't the type to naturally let things drop instantly, he had to wonder what was going on with that. Why the girls were in Kyoto, and what their objective could be, but he wasn't getting any answers.

But at least, he could enjoy the waters.

He could enjoy himself with the water.

It was perfect, a good way to end the first day, alone in a bath…or so he thought.

Unbeknownst to him, he wasn't alone at all…

No, someone was in the bath as well.

Two people in fact.

The two people weren't together, they were separate, and were slowly enclosing on Zenki.

One was ducking in and out of shadows, wearing a towel.

The other was already in the area, inside of the bath, but this person was avoiding detection.

"S-So, Zenki-sama is like that…h-he's really naked inside of the bath…h-he's really naked right now…h-his chest is…b-but, he's also…w-wait, I have a mission, I can't leer at…b-but, if it is Zenki-sama then…"

Thoughts of the first persons swam around that persons head, trying to understand how this person was going to do something.

The other one didn't have any real thought beyond getting to Zenki.

Zenki looked up again, as the first shadow came upon him, ducking closer and closer. The persons blonde hair came into view, as well as her Loli type body, though her bust was pretty good for a girl her size.

The girl came out of the shadows, and turned out to be, Le Fay Pendragon, the girl herself twitching her body while blushing at the sight of a naked Zenki. Though she couldn't see what was what most people would be drawn to when seeing a naked man, it was covered by a towel, Le Fay pouting at that fact.

"Zenki-niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!"

The second shadow couldn't hold it anymore, and shot out of the water, landing on Zenki's lap immediately, shocking Le Fay.

"Waaah!" Zenki looked at his lap, and saw that there was a girl there. "Ooh Maou-sama, it is you! You've grown Kunou-tan!"

The newly named Kunou was a young girl, around the age of 15. Her body looked the size of Gasper's, but her bust was bigger, around Ravel's size of bust, her body having a loosely fitting towel around it. Her blonde hair looked golden, as did her eyes, shining at Zenki. The odd thing about this girl was that she had nine fluffy fox tails producing from her back, near her butt, having matching ears, in the place of normal human ears.

"Hehe! Kunou was sorry, she couldn't wait any longer! Since it was the Nii-chan she hadn't seen in ages, Kunou was naughty and snuck out to find Zenki-nii, and found him relaxing in the bath! I'm sorry Zenki-nii, but I've missed Zenki-nii so very much! I couldn't resist jumping on and sitting on the lap that only belongs to me! Kunou!"

Zenki chuckled at the words of the young girl, finding it adorable how she slipped between using first and third person when referring to herself.

"Kunou-tan surely has grown since the last time I saw her."

Kunou looked on in pride as she pushed her body closer to Zenki's own body. Her breasts could be seen through the towel, Zenki didn't look though, he couldn't look right now.

"Yes! Basically, Kunou drunk lots of milk and ate many foods so Kunou's body would grow even bigger so she would be able to-"

"H-Hey!" Le Fay jumped into the water, leaning against Zenki's lap, her hands just to the left of his crotch, Zenki surprised and blushing at the closeness of Le Fay. "Z-Zenki-sama cannot be jumped on like that! I don't know who you are, but you cannot…" Le Fay stopped when she saw Zenki staring at her in wonder. "Z-Zenki-sama! H-Hello again Zenki-sama! It has been a while hasn't it!? W-What a coincidence! We've finally been met together like this again!"

Zenki blinked as did Kunou.

"Le Fay-san…you're, erm, here?"

He let slip, as Le Fay put her hands to her face, blushing.

"Y-Yes, that's right…w-we…erm, I came here…what a weird coincidence for us to meet under these circumstances…"

"Sorry, whoever you are, but Zenki-nii has just been reunited with me, so could you perhaps give us a few moments?"

Kunou practically demanded as she hugged Zenki around his neck. He awkwardly wrapped an arm around her so her towel wouldn't fall off, protecting her modesty.

Le Fay didn't like that, folding her arms over her growing bust, the water slipping between her breasts as she lowered her body.

"B-But, Zenki-sama is relaxing in the bath. It is one of his favourite hobbies, you cannot disturb that. Even the girls in his peerage would know this as well, so please don't try and take that away from Zenki-sama!"

"How do you know…"

"Hehehehehehehhe!" Le Fay laughed awkwardly, smiling while sweating, but thanks to the water, it could be passed off as that. "I-I just…guessed?" Le Fay muttered, then turned to Kunou. "B-But, you need to allow Zenki-sama sometime to relax please!"

"But this is Kunou's special time with Zenki-nii! I won't sacrifice that for anything! I haven't seen Zenki-nii in ages upon ages, and I won't allow my own life to be surrendered because someone I don't even know is trying to steal my Zenki-nii away from me!"

Kunou argued, positioning herself on his lap even more, holding him tightly, she wouldn't let go.

Le Fay didn't look pleased, unintentionally getting on his lap too, Zenki's face heating up with two new girls on his lap. He was used to Koneko, Ravel, and Gasper, and Kunou to an extent. But now with Le Fay on his lap, he could safely say that he was blushing.

"You can't be like that. Zenki-sama has a busy life." She looked at Zenki, and gushed. "Zenki-sama! I can't believe we'd meet in a bath like this! I know it is totally inappropriate, but maybe we could discuss magic and such later on as well as your secret invention?"

"How do you know about…"

He was once again cut off when Kunou practically slammed her head against his chest, cuddling against him.

"Kunou won't give this time to anyone, no one will move Kunou from the lap that she loves more than anything. Don't make Kunou move, or Kunou might become upset, and it wouldn't be a good thing. This is Kunou's lap!"

"Actually, according to my data, his lap currently belongs to Koneko-sama!" Le Fay argued right back, then realized that she was sat on his lap, squealing adorably. "Eeep! I've also sat on his lap! But since it is the man that I really do admire very much, and since he hasn't said anything, it is okay! Yes, I am going to think that this is okay for me to sit on this lap like this! I am okay with this! Aren't you okay with this Zenki-sama!?"

Zenki looked quizzingly at Le Fay as Kunou stuck out her tongue at Le Fay.

"Le Fay-san…I have no idea what you just said…"

Because she spoke so fast, even someone like Zenki couldn't hear what she said.

Le Fay sweatdropped, and smiled sheepishly.

"I-I'm sorry, I'm totally fangirling right now! B-But that's okay! I mean it really is-"

She was stopped when Zenki placed a hand on her shoulder. Her cute face turned red at the touch of his hand on her, Kunou becoming jealous, and snuggled deeper into him, her hands now dropped from his neck, and found themselves leaning against his strong chest.

"Le Fay-san, please keep calm." Le Fay nodded her head without saying a word. "S-So, why are you here exactly Le Fay-san? I didn't know that you'd be here…and in the same hotel I was in…and even in the same bath that I am in…even if it is a mixed bath…"

"…"

Le Fay didn't have an answer, hoping he wouldn't say anything more.

Zenki was only more intrigued by what she was going to be doing.

As they were talking, the door was suddenly violently swung open, startling the three of them in the bath.

Who stepped through the door, were Zenki's peerage, Mittelt included (crying as Kuroka held her) all having scary auras around them when seeing Zenki in the bath with two unidentified girls, Koneko especially pissed when seeing the girls on his lap.

"Fucking hell, can't leave you alone for even a moment before you get more girls on you."

Kuroka spat out, not at Zenki, but at the girls on his lap, stealing glances with Koneko to see her eyes looking like rage. Though even Kuroka looked angry, Zenki wishing that this hadn't of happened, feeling Kunou become even clingier towards him.

"Owww! Kuroka-sama, your hands are hurting me right now! Please stop it!"

Mittelt cried as she felt the tighter hands getting tighter by the second.

"Shut up!"

"Okay!"

Mittelt complied with the demand straight away, unable to say anything else other than that.

"To think that Zenki-kun, while away from us, has gathered two girls to sit on his lap. You really are a naughty boy, aren't you?"

Valerie held a smile on her face, but her eyes looked dangerous. Even Zenki felt like he was going to die by the second, looking like a deer caught in headlights.

"T-Too cruel…Z-Zenki-san has even g-gained more girls…"

"Awww! Asia-chan! Don't cry, we'll have fun with him soon!"

Jeanne comforted Asia who sobbed a little bit, Zenki feeling down about making her feel like that.

"Zenki-sama and another girl…two other girls…w-wait, is that Le Fay-san?"

Ravel recognized the girl, who waved awkwardly back.

"Ravel?" Kuroka called, the girl smiling weakly. "Who's dis bitch that is trying to steal Zenki-chan away like this nyaaa?"

Ravel felt the intensity coming from Kuroka, and felt like she was going to die by the second.

"This bitch...I-I mean, s-she's a girl we met not that long ago…s-she's a fan of Zenki-sama…"

"I see, and who's the Loli fox? Shall I skin her?"

Kuroka produced a knife from, somewhere, and held it in her hand, showing it to Kunou who's eyes opened wide, holding onto Zenki even more, only pissing off Koneko even more.

"Say, Kuroka-chan, where did you hide that knife anyway?"

Jeanne found it suspicious that she had a knife, when there weren't any places she could hide it, all of them being in towels.

"I got it from my vagina next to the axe I hold for that Ravel creature. Where the hell do you think I got it from nyaa!?"

Though Kuroka wasn't being serious, Jeanne thought she was, and looked at Kuroka's crotch area.

"My~ I didn't know that Kuroka-chan's vagina was a void~"

Ravel snickered, only to be silenced when Kuroka glared at her.

"My vagina isn't a void, you dumbass. You can make swords appear out of thin air, yet you're questioning where I got my own knife nyaaa!?"

"Mehehe, but you said-"

"I know what I said!" She snapped, shaking from left to right. "I just made it appear in my hand nyaaa! Now shut your sexy face, and allow me to make time with this fox!" Jeanne made a zipping motion to her mouth, so Kuroka directed her attention to Kunou, the girl flinching. "So, Loli fox, what's your deal nyaaa?"

Kunou's eyes displayed terror, holding onto Zenki even more.

"Zenki-nii! Those girls are scaring me!"

That news...was devastating to the peerage.

[ZENKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!?]

Zenki winced at the shouting, putting his hand on the back of Kunou's head.

"H-Hey, everyone calm down a little bit. A-And, this girl is…" Koneko, strode forward, without emotion. "Koneko-tan…is there something wrong?"

Koneko didn't say anything as she entered the water.

She walked so she'd be face to face with Kunou, Le Fay even feeling nervous at this point, clinging to Zenki for protection…but even he felt worried by the glare that Koneko was giving Kunou right now, like she was staring at something, apocalyptic.

"…You're sat on my lap. I suggest moving."

"N-No! Kunou won't move! This is my Nii-chan's lap, I won't move!"

"But, that is my lap. I, own Zenki-senpai's lap, not you."

Koneko growled out, Zenki feeling the killing intent rolling off her.

Kunou, while not as filled with killing intent, also had killing intent.

"No, that's wrong! Kunou owns this lap! Because Nii-chan has returned, Kunou and Nii-chan are the best ever! Since Kunou hasn't been able to sit on Nii-chan's lap for ages now, I haven't been able to do anything other than become sad, and leave with nothing! This is Kunou's lap!"

"…No, it isn't. I am Senpai's Rook, and Senpai said that I am the one that occupies his lap. So, please remove yourself right now. This is your final warning."

The peerage and Mittelt felt the killing words of Koneko, Le Fay shivered even with the words not directed at her. Zenki petted Le Fay's head, attempting to keep the young girl calm and collected so nothing happened.

Kunou on the other hand, put her hands outwards, and made her stance on Zenki's lap.

"N-No way! This is Kunou's lap, she won't give it up to some cat! I am Nii-chan's lap cuddle partner! Not you!"

"I warned you."

"Eh…"

Kunou's body was suddenly lifted by Koneko, throwing her off Zenki's lap, landing in the water at a fair distance.

"Koneko-tan! T-That girl is…"

Koneko ignored Zenki and looked at Le Fay.

"Move."

A single word command was acknowledged by Le Fay, the girl whispering "Okay…" and scurried off Zenki's lap. Koneko, feeling satisfied, sat down in the middle of Zenki's lap, the others marvelling the sights of the girl.

"Koneko-tan, you do realize that girl is kinda important…"

"Senpai, this is my lap, I won't surrender it to the girl over there. No matter who she is."

Koneko defiantly said, folding her arms across her small bust.

"Even if she's the Princess of Kyoto…"

Those words sent alarm to the others. Asia felt faint, but was able to stabilize herself with Jeanne's help but she wasn't looking too hot either. Le Fay repented her words from before, Ravel being in shock as well as Mittelt. Kuroka looked on, also shocked by what she had seen.

As for Koneko, she sweated a little bit.

"Oh…" Koneko thought about it for a few moments, then shrugged her shoulders in an uncaring manner. "This is still my lap, I won't give it up to even someone like her."

Zenki sweatdropped as Kunou recovered from the throwing, rushing over to Koneko and pointed at her angrily.

"H-Hey! You just threw Kunou!"

"This is my lap, not yours."

Koneko defended, Kunou seeing red and tried to fight her, but Zenki put his hand out and separated the pair of them.

"No fighting now, there's no need for it. My lap is big enough for the pair of you."

"B-But Nii-chan! How can you say that to your fiancée!?"

.

….The girls exploded.

[EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!? FIANCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!?]

Besides Mittelt, the girls became stunned, and yelled out what they all thought at that moment.

Kunou wore a confident look on her face, and hugged onto Zenki, Koneko gritting her teeth dangerously.

"That's right! Nii-chan is my fiancée! Kunou and Nii-chan are wed to one another!"

"Bitch is going to die!"

Kuroka brought her knife up and charged, knocking Mittelt down to the ground, crying "Iyaaaa!" as the other girls charged for her.

[STOP!]

The girls managed to knock Kuroka to the ground, on top of Mittelt, and thrashed around wildly, screaming as Kunou held onto Zenki for protection. Koneko was seeing red, like she was going to murder someone else by any second.

"LET ME GO YOU BUNCH OF SEXY BITCHES! ESPECIALLY YOU RAVELLLLLLLLLLLL! SHE'S GONNA DIE FOR SAYING THAT! I AM GOING TO MARRY ZENKI-CHAN FIRST! SHE CAN'T DO THAT! I'M GOING TO HAVE SEX WITH HIM, HE'S GOING TO MARRY ME AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE KITTENS THAT ARE ALSO DEVIL DRAGON BABIES!"

"HELP! STOP PLEASE!"

Mittelt cried as Kuroka thrusted her knife downwards. If it wasn't thanks for Jeanne stopping the knife stabbing Mittelt, she would've been stabbed by Kuroka.

"DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Zenki chuckled nervously as Kunou continued clinging to him.

"Zenki-senpai…I'm going to have to stop this…"

Koneko looked ready to murder, so Zenki held onto her, and kept her separate from Kunou.

"Zenki-nii, why is everyone going mad right now? Aren't they happy that we're getting married?"

Zenki face palmed at the innocent look Kunou gave him…this was going to be a long day.
