Hey guys,I hope this next chapter is hope to your liking, you know I got to thank reading stories, they help inspired me to make this story, so for all reading stories writers, thank you.

Everyone is getting in there seats to watch the next episode. Rias is stilling feeling a bit nervous, after everything that happen, who wouldn't.

Sona is still interested in the [Class Card] system he use on Rias. She also think that it the reason why Rias personalty change.

Aisa got the t.v. remote and press play.

Chapter 2: - Crimson Haired Servant II -

Part 1

-Rias' POV-

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

It's midnight and I'm flaring up my demonic energy in full throttle.

The reason is simple.

I'm upset about my current situation and with myself.

Sona understand, she would be upset to if she was force to be a servant as well.

True that I'm very grateful at Hakuno-kun for reviving me back from the dead... But the notion of me being his servant doesn't sit with me well.

The pride of a Devil which is part of me hated the idea itself.

Now I'm stuck in two situations where my freedom and choice is in the hands of two people—

Riser Phenex and Hakuno Kishinami.

Rias sigh, honestly, she like it better with Hakuno then with Riser.

Fuuu!

"Hiyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

The surrounding air began to heat up more as I release a more powerful demonic energy in the open.

Thinking about that bastard just make my anger reach to a higher level.

Now thinking about Hakuno-kun...

... ... ... ...

... ...

...

Agh! I just can't do it!

Rias is confuse, what can't she do?

Why is that every time I think about that guy my anger for him began to subside and dissipate? And why is that mentioning only his name make me flustered all of a sudden?

Everyone is confuse by this, is this the effect on the [Class Card], or is it something else?

I-I don't understand why I am reacting to him like this.

When he entered Kuoh I only took interest at him because of the thought that he is a Sacred Gear user and the way how he try to ignore me or avoid me everyday.

I only see him as an average type of a guy but recently, I see him as a handsome fellow that made my feet sweep off the ground.

Issei drops his head in despair when he hears that, while Rias blushes at what her other self said.

—!

No... This can't be real.

There is no way that this is real.

SLAP

I tried to slap my way out this delusion but the stinging feeling from my cheeks tells me otherwise. The various feelings—euphoric, giddy, nervous, exhausted and confused—or combination of all of these emotions are still running amok within my chest.

Issei sit at the corner, knowing full well what that feeling is.

I know what this feeling is from reading some romance flicks and Japanese related media. The word is already at the tip of my tongue but I refused to say it, to believe that I'm falling for it.

Issei fells further in despair, now thinking his other self has no chance for his world Rias. Asia is trying to cheer Issei up, while Koneko just looks at him with a stink eye.

The upcoming engagement party only give me more headache.

And recently I've been dreaming some weird stuff that embarrass the hell out of me. The dream was about me walking down the aisle and getting married. What surprised me is that the man waiting for me at the altar was no other than Hakuno Kishinami.

When they saw Hakuno in a weeding suit, Rias, Sona, Akeno, Tsubaki, and Xenovia, could not help but blush.

He look so perfect in that, his handsome face, his smoothed skin, his gentle eye and smile, he is so perfect.

Saji join Issei in the corner, having a good idea what might happen if Sona ever see him like that.

On top of that, I also dream how I eagerly embraced the idea of being a good wife.

Thinking about that, the happy face that I portrayed in those dreams somehow scared me. Am I that desperate to be a wife?

Come on Rias try to ignore the jittery feeling in your belly or the sweat on your palms just for a second and try to think.

Ever since I got resurrected I've been acting weird. It has something to do with that. Right that's the only explanation.

Everyone agree with the other Rias, now they can get answer from him.

I need to get to the bottom of this. I need to speak with him.

... ... ...

No! Not again! Why is that my face flared up every time I think of him!?

Part 2

On the next day, after school.

I went to the rooftop of the school building. Earlier I invited Hakuno-kun for a private chat. There are so many things that I wanted to confirm to him regarding this... servant thing.

"Ah the rooftop, where anything can happen." Gundam 09 said. "You know, I don't ever understand why people use the roof to solve problems, maybe it the only quiet place where no one can bother you, and just relax."

Issei kinda got a idea of what he said, some people just not want to other to know there secrets, of course he use the roof for different reasons.

Koneko saw his face and know what he is thinking. "...Pervert."

Though he explained to me and my peerage about my position in his err... peerage, he left me with so many unanswered questions.

Speaking of the culprit, he walked towards me while scratching the back of his head with his left hand.

"I demand some answers! And I wanted it now!"

I blurted out at him, releasing a slight amount of demonic energy and he just looked at me with his owlish eyes. Seeing his face, I remembered the night where I addressed him with the word Master. Both of my ears started to heat up.

Oh no, not again please! I shook my head several times and mustered every ounce of courage and strength that this confused body has. My blue green orbs stared at his brown ones.

Sona really wanted to know what is going on, if this happen to everyone one that goes on his peerage, she wanted to know the reason.

"Are, I you sure you don't love him, your describing his yes very well." Akeno tease Rias.

"Uresei!"

Not even a second slipped and I totally lost it. I give up. All of my pent up annoyance for him just vanished immediately like a snap of a finger. I never felt so much weak like this before.

Rias is feeling sad at this, she really did not like to feel weak at all.

Sona, knowing full well Rias hated being weak, try to support her, as Rias accepted her help.

This is far worse than the forced arrange marriage that haunted me for several years.

"This is your all fault Hakuno-kun!"

FLOW

I slumped on the floor and covered my reddened face with my hands, tears flowing from my eyes.

"It's all your fault that I'm like this! I don't know what's going on with me and I don't understand myself anymore! It's all your fault! It's all your fault!"

"And here comes the whining." Gundam 09 joke, while Rias and her peerage glare at him.

With that I explode. I wanted to release this anger, this infuriating feeling, this frustration from within me.

FLOW

"You know, I am angry at you even you saved my life. I'm angry because I become your servant and I don't like it every, single, bit! I wanted to blast you away but why is it that every time I look up on your face, unknown and alien feelings began to coat my anger for you? And now I'm having this dream of me being your wife and I don't understand any of this!"

I don't know his reaction and I don't want to look on his face. I wanted to spare myself from the invasive aura that this man had.

"Bond..."

Everyone is confuse by this. "Bond?"

They looked at Gundam 09 for answers. "Don't know, never really figured it out."

I felt someone sat beside me. I turned my head only to see him... with a frown face.

... ... ...Eh? Is this real?

"You feel like that towards me because you are bonded to me as I am to you. In other words we are linked together by our contract. I'm truly sorry, Gremory-san. Because of my actions you have to suffer like this. I'm sorry, I truly am."

Hakuno-kun looked at me in the eye and for some reason I could feel his sincerity and honesty within my heart. It felt like I'm connected with him in a special way, a way that can't be described in mere words or any kind or forms of magic.

Now Rias felt a little bad at what her other self said, all he did was trying to save her, she hope her other will be sorry.

We kept silent for a while. None of us dare to speak. Somehow I felt that his conflicted with all of this as well. He reincarnated me as his servant in order to save me from death's doorstep. Remembering the deed he made, I feel so bad for lashing at him.

"Don't feel so bad about yourself, Gremory-san. You have the right to be angry at me because I turned you into my servant without your consent."

He give me his handkerchief which I hesitantly accept, using it to wipe my tears dry.

How did he know my thoughts?

Oh right, the contract and the bond thingy... but still something doesn't add up.

"Yeah, I want to now what happening." Issei said.

"I-I-I-It is a bit confusing, why is Buchou acting like this?" Gasper asked.

Tusbaki looked at everyone. "Let's wait a see what happen next, we mite get some answers."

Everyone agree to that and turn back to the t.v.

"Then what about—"

"How you were infatuated at me? I don't know but I have a hunch. Believe me. I feel... the same way towards you."

He says that with a shy tone. Hakuno-kun's face are slightly red.

Issei hold his head in anger, he knew it, he was hiding his truer desire from them!

Rias blush at what he said, he feels the same way as her to him.

So he doesn't know the main reason why am I reacting this to him and have a hunch, and he felt the same way towards me and...

Eh!? I gaze at him and he averted his eyes from me. It only give me a blush.

Wait. Does this mean that I wasn't alone suffering this, this kind of thing? My orbs stared at him with a questioning look and he nodded without looking at me.

This. Is. Unbelievable.

Is this the effect of our contract? Our bond? Though I wanted to reject it mentally yet somehow the feelings that began to encapsulate within my own feel so real and genuine. This is Hakuno-kun's feelings, his feelings towards me.

A jittery warm feeling then emerged somewhere.

Rias kept blushing at what her other said, Sona could not help but want to know what that feeling is, Akeno smile in lust, Tsubaki is trying her best not to blush, but is having a hard time with it, and Xenovia is wonder what her other self baby would be like if she went to him.

I faintly slap my cheeks to brushed away that feeling.

"Then about this hunch of yours, can you tell me about it?"

Suddenly Hakuno-kun began to sweat dropped while trying to laugh.

"Haha... well maybe there were some imprints left from the card I used to revive you so..."

Imprints? As in traces of lingering emotions? I narrowed my eyes at him with suspicion.

"Imprints, That could be a possibility at what is happening to you Rias." Sona said to her.

Rias though about it, it could be possibly that Imprints from someone could cause her change in her personalty.

Rossweisse hope that Rias doesn't do naughty thing in school, it would cause trouble.

"Let me explain. You know that I use the [Caster] card to revive you right? In the past the user of that card used to have some kind of affection towards me. She is a kind person, sometimes annoying but in the end, I treasured her with all my heart."

There was a hint of sadness and bitterness on his words. Longing would be the best description for it with a tiny tinge of... pain?

Everyone figured out what happen, he lost her, and he could not forget her.

Well that's a find. Straightforwardly, I inherited this person "will" when I was reincarnated back and this feelings that I have for Hakuno-kun is just a remnant of my predecessor's affection towards him? I don't know how to describe all of this.

But the way how he address this "treasured" person somehow tells me that there is more to it than meets the eye yet why is that I'm feeling insecure with that person?

Rias wonder who this "treasured" person is, and how she make Hakuno feels this way.

Koneko remember what she sense on Rias, maybe that 'treasured" person is a Yokai.

Why is that I feel a needle pricking my heart?

That aside now I know the reason why I am like this...

"Can you do something about it?"

He shook his head.

Rias is bit sad that he can't do anything about it.

"Unfortunately, I can't. By now the card itself is currently merged with your soul forever and there's nothing that I could do about it. Though I can forcefully extract it, you will end up dying in the process and I don't want that."

Sigh, so there's nothing that I can do about it huh.

"So does this mean that starting from today I will stick by your side?"

If my parents and Onii-sama finds about this, I can already see Hakuno-kun being bombarded away from oblivion or blasted to kingdom come. Well that would do good for me but he saved my life. Yes I'm a Devil but I don't do that such kind of things. I'm not an evil person, just manipulative.

Everyone pretty much agree to that, Rias can be a little... okay a lot of manipulative.

"No Gremory-san. Although you are now my servant, I still treat you as person and as an equal. You can do whatever you want for you have your own freedom and free will. Even if we are bonded together with our contract, I'm not that kind of person who will bind you for my personal gains. I'm not like that. If you wish, I could null the contract between us right here and now."

He says that to me with a tiny smile on his face.

Sincerity. Truth. Assurance.

Rias could not help but see herself in him, he just like her, doesn't see his servant as servants.

That's all really there is. Now I know you are truly a good person Hakuno-kun, you surely are.

"But you know, the idea of me being your servant still..."

"I know. To think that you, a sister of Maou as my servant... yup, I completely raised a death flag on myself. But you know, I didn't regret every single bit of it because I save a life, your life and that's what all matters to me."

This person... I want to know him better. I want to understand him better.

Rias agree with her other self, she want to know him better.

"I guess for now, I will play with you as your servant, Goshujin-sama~."

He almost jerked out of from his spot in surprise. Fufufu, that's my revenge for making me your servant Hakuno-kun. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna enjoy teasing you every single day.

Her peerage have different reaction to what her other self did. Issei fell in despair, Akeno smile, amused at what she said, Koneko gave a blank stare, Aisa is glad that Rias doesn't feel hurt anymore, Kiba is surprise at what she said, Xenovia feel threatened at what she said from some reason, Gasper gaps in shock, and Rossweisse hope nothing bad happen after this.

Sona could not believe at what she just hear, she never though the day would come when Rias said master to someone else, even if it in Japanese.

Rias smiled, know full well that Hakuno is in for a lot of teasing.

"You're enjoying this aren't you?"

He says to me with a forceful smile.

"Hmm... Who knows?"

I let out a giggle much to his distress. Now I'm feeling better.

"Umm... so do you want to know more about you being my [Caster]?"

"Well I hope you can enlighten me, Goshujin-sama~."

I reply while leaning my head on his shoulder and I was laughing mentally when his body stiffened a bit.

Issei is really hating this, while Gundam 09 just laugh at him.

"So Gremory-san,"

"Rias..."

"Um, Rias-san."

"Rias."

Fufufu. He's kinda cute when blushing. Don't do that Hakuno-kun or I will tease you more, you know?

Akeno smiled at this, now she got a partner for teasing.

"Okay R-Rias, do you know what being a [Caster] means?"

I shook my head as if to say no. Though I know the meaning of the word itself, still I wanted to hear the explanation himself. Consider it as a punishment.

Sona sigh, knowing full well why Rias is doing this.

"You're doing this on purpose aren't you?"

I nodded my head rapidly while embracing tightly his left arm, causing him to stiffened a bit, again.

Sighing in defeat, he begun explaining everything to me that day.

Unknowingly, I accepted my fate as a part of his peerage.

...His first~.

Issei scream, thinking that is sound like something a woman said to a man when he gives his first time with her.

Koneko look at him with a glare, she really hated him for being a pervert.

Part 3

-Hakuno's POV-

The next day, after school.

"... ... ..."

Today I'm in the Occult Research Club. From what I can tell, my presence is not welcome here.

There is some tension in the air. All of that are directed towards me.

Well I couldn't blame them.

If you are in there shoes, surely every person would react the same way as them. They're still not very receptive about their beloved Buchou being my [Caster].

Rias's peerage agree to that, I'm mean, they just find out her master got turn to a servant, who would not be tense at him.

I eyed the cup of tea served in front me. Yes I would genuinely and gladly drink this.

But I won't.

Somehow my right and left brain are debating whether to drink it or not knowing who brewed this tea. The person in question, Akeno Himejima, my classmate is standing next to my [Caster].

Yes she is smiling but her eyes is certainly not. The aura around her is definitely the antithesis of her smile. A cold vibe.

Rias glare at Akeno. "What do you put in that tea?"

"Ara, I don't know, but it must be something to get back at him for making you cry." Akeno suggested

Rias couldn't blame her, Akeno mite just torture someone for making her [King] cry.

Yuuto Kiba is standing near Koneko Tojou. Both of them had a wary look at me. Issei Hyoudou on the other hand, have tick marks appearing on his head, his eyes glaring at me while Asia well is still Asia, just with a tensed expression on her face.

Sitting in an armchair behind the main desk is Rias, who had an unpleasant face. I can sense the troubled feelings from the bond. I send my utmost feelings at her through our bond which caused her to look at me with a blush on her face.

But what astound me is that aside from me, another person is present in a figure of a woman dressed like a maid, standing in front of the desk.

They now what going to happen, they wish they did not have to see this again.

Her eyes are conspicuously staring at me with a questioning look.

She is beautiful that I can attest but this woman is also extremely powerful judging from the energy that I'm sensing from her.

"Pardon me Ojou-sama, but I would like to know why is a human in here together with us for this important gathering?"

She asks Rias who only raised her hand.

"It's okay Onee-sama. He is my contracted magician and I'm the one who invited him here in the first place."

"Nice save other me." Rias said to her other self.

"Very well."

The maid who is Grayfia give me a critical look before dismissing me like I'm nothing. Oh well, it doesn't matter. What I'm interested is this important gathering that she spoke of.

"Would you like me to explain the situation?"

With that question, my [Caster] rejected the maid's offer with a wave of her hand and shaking her head.

"The truth is—"

Rias was cut off by a magic circle appearing on the floor. From the look of the circle, it is probably a teleportation circle. Hmm? So someone is coming here? Who could it be?

"The Phenex clan..."

Rias really hate him to be here, she just wish see could turn him to fried chicken then see his face again.

Though it's faint, I heard Yuuto's soft muttering. If I'm correct, the Phenex clan is one of the 72 pillars stated in Ars Goetia.

What is their purpose coming here?

As the light shone all over the room, flames were coming out from the circle. From there a shadow of a man appeared inside the flames. He flicked his arm to the side and an instant, the flames dissipated.

"It's been a while since I've been in the human world."

The tall and handsome person who had blonde hair and dark blue eyes announced. I must admit that this Devil have good looks but something about him bothers me.

"Oh you'll see Hakuno-Kun." Rias said.

"My sweet Rias, I came to see you."

He says with a strong arrogance in his tone. And what's the "my sweet Rias" words, is he like her husband or something?

"Now Rias, let's go and take a look at the ceremony hall. The date has already been decided so let's go and see, yeah?"

"Let me go, Raiser."

Rias says as she shook this Raiser guy's hand off of her. Somehow I can feel that my [Caster] is not very fond of this fellow. The distress flowing to me through the contract solidifies this.

That aside, this Raiser guy has clothed himself with an aura called "arrogance" and by the looks of things everyone in this room are having discomfort regarding with his attitude.

"I hate him very, very, very much." Rias said with venom in her tone.

Everyone decide to back away from her so she can cool off a bit.

But then again, something very predictable happened.

"Hey, you should stop being rude to Buchou, who does that with a girl anyway?"

Issei says with a confident tone. I mentally clap with this guy's courageous act. Even if he is perverted, still he has some redeeming qualities.

With the scene unveiling in front of me, I unconsciously grab a cup of tea from the table and started sipping some.

"Oh? Who are you?"

"I am Issei Hyoudou, Rias Gremory's pawn."

Damn this kid end his sentence with a hint of pride. Now then how will the other guy respond?

"...Okay."

Poor Issei, being brushed off and discarded without caring.

"I really still hate this guy." Issei said

"Who are you anyway?"

"Oh Rias, you didn't tell them about us?"

Us? I think I got the gist of all of this...

"I didn't tell them because I don't have to."

Sona sigh, knowing Rias didn't want anything to do with him all the time.

Rias tone was harsh and I can sense that she's going to explode any seconds. Then the maid named Grayfia stepped in from the commotion.

"This man is Raiser Phenex-sama. He is a Pureblood High-Class Devil, and the third son of the Phenex clan."

"And the future husband of the next heiress of the House of Gremory."

The Raiser guy add some finishing touch with a cocky smirk. So he is Rias' future husband—

COUGH

I almost got choked by that bold declaration. This jackass is Rias' fiancee? So that's why Rias is quite infuriated since from the beginning of this meeting. With this guy's attitude, I can't blame her for wanting to get out from this setup.

Rias smile, being thankful for Hakuno for understanding his feeling.

That aside, looks like I got their attention.

"Oh, don't mind me. Please move along with your discussion."

I say that to them while trying to look away and sipping some tea. Hmm~ this tea is good!

Rias is still worried at what Akeno put in that tea.

In the end of the day, both parties agreed to settle this problem with an unofficial Rating Game. The Phenex guy give Rias ten days to train her peerage which the guy consider as weak.

"Rias, the next time we meet will be at the game."

Saying that, Raiser disappears in the light of the magic-circle.

"Finally he gone, I can not stand the scent of him." Rias said, finally relax after seeing him gone.

Part 4

As soon as the meeting with Raiser ended the atmosphere inside the club is depressing.

Well it can't be helped, if you are a person who sees a guy surrounded by fifteen fighting capable females what would you feel?

Of course jealousy and in terms of jealousy someone is surrounded with that right now.

"Damn that Yakitori bastard had a harem! Damn!"

"Calm down, Issei-kun."

I hate to say this Asia but you can't make Issei calm down seeing that someone had beaten him from his heavenly dream.

"Don't remind me mind, it still hurt." Issei said in the corner. Saji under why Issei is feeling this why, with what that Riser guy had, even he would be jealousy. Asia still try to cheer him up.

"That Raiser really underestimated you guys."

That got the attention of everyone. I sipped again a cup of tea to my throat. I really should have one of this in my house.

Everyone his confuse by this, Riser is underestimating them, is Hakuno going to help.

"And you agree on everything that he said, Hakuno-senpai?"

I can still hear the Koneko's hiss under her breath.

"You need to understand that strong people started as a weakling. Accepting the fact that you are weak is not an act of shame but rather an act of bravery. So if you're weak, then in order to be strong what are you supposed to do?"

"Train."

I nodded at their answers.

They all agree to that, they train just as hard to get stronger.

Rias wonder if Hakuno is going to help them.

"Why you didn't help me?"

Rias raised the question with a pout on her face.

"It's because I believe that you can handle it by yourself and you get the the result that you wanted in a form of a Rating Game."

They are all shock by this, he believe they can win against him? Rias blush at what he said.

"But they did that because they know that we don't have any chance on winning against him..."

I raised an eyebrow at her statement. Did she really believe that they don't have a chance against the blonde fried chicken?

"You're wrong. The truth is you have a higher chance of winning even with your lesser numbers. After all, you are my [Caster]."

Sona now wonder what Rias [Caster] ability will be like, if they have a higher chance at wining because of that, then till will be a interesting game then.

Everyone of them looked at me in the eye, I could see only hope from their visions.

Right.

Those people who mocked the ability of my [Caster] and her peerage will surely regret everything that they have said when the given time comes.

"I will be the one to train you all so don't worry about it."

Saying that, everyone of them looked at me with an "Are you serious?" expression written all over their faces. I just shrugged as I enjoy the cup of tea.

Rias is happy at this, he is going to help them train.

"You seem to enjoy the tea, Hakuno-kun."

Akeno-san says to me as he approached me. I just nodded at her with agreement.

"Yes. You've done a wonderful job Akeno-san. I am looking forward to your tea this following days."

"Fufufu. I'm glad that you like it although I put some imported laxative on it."

"AKENO!" Rias scream at her.

"Ara, so that what it is, I do hope he feels better." Akeno tease

Rias is glare Akeno at what she did, while Sona just sigh at the site before her.

Such a blunt statement. A bomb to top it off.

For some reason, I felt an uncomfortable feeling swirling inside my stomach.

With that done, the t.v. turn off.

"Are we mite just get a chance to defeat Riser, with Hakuno help Rias." Akeno said.

Rias closed her eyes and smile. "Yes, I'm glad that Goshujin-sama~ is helping us." When she said that last part her eyes open in shock, and pretty much everyone is shock.

Issei is crying in tears when he hears this.

Sona just stares at her. "You've really accepted being in part of his peerage, didn't you Rias."

Rias blush, she can't believe she said that out loud.

Gundam 09 laugh. "Thing just got interesting."

And done, I do hope this chapter is great for you all.

I got IRL stuff coming up, so until then, stay tune.
