It's been a few months now since I had taken Raiser's place as Rias' fiance and quite frankly I enjoyed it. I can't say anything on the love front because I don't feel comfortable going that far yet, there still is that few year age gap between us. It's relatively small compared to other's in the Underworld but it's her actual young age rather than the difference, she isn't ready for it. Rias is still learning about the world around her so I am hesitant to begin thinking or even trying to think of her in that way.

Though I can say that the girl is extremely impulsive, she never let me out of her sight for a second and it was something that irritated her brother and surprised me more than I had expected it mostly due to his reaction. The wide view of Sirzechs Lucifer is a calm, charismatic and strong person but I no longer feel the same way about him. The way he interacts with Rias is beyond family love at times, it's almost like he relies on her. Though it never goes well for him because it embarrasses Rias.

I haven't spoken to Lucifer as much as i'd like to mainly because he is busy but when he was around I felt like he was envious of me. He seemed to look really angry that Rias was holding onto me and dragging me around the mansion to play with her or watch things. Thanks to Lucifer's Knight, Souji Okita, Rias has a large infatuation with Anime, Manga and figurines. I won't say its his fault but his knowledge of Japan led Rias to being interested in Japan to where she found the Otaku way of life and I am pretty serious when I say this. She was an Otaku and even more so than I was a bookworm.

I was a bookworm to the point where I had my own personal and private versions of books in my own room, some of which were already in the Phoenix Library. I only had a large bookshelf holding the books but Rias' whole room was Otaku themed. She had multiple bookshelves in her room that held either Manga, Light Novels or Anime cases. She then had a glass case in the corner of her room which held 'cute' figurines that all just happened to be magical girl characters with the odd male character, all the male characters had blonde hair that was too spiky to be real. I don't think that ice magic could even make them that way.

First seeing her room I was dumbstruck. It completely surprised me, she had told me about it the time before but you'd never expect it to be to this extent when she mentioned it to me. Though the whole thing did grow on me, the Light Novel piqued my interest the most because they were darker. All her choices were either too young for me or I just couldn't bring myself to even try it. This led me to having them my own way and when I returned home I asked Chichi-ue and Haha-ue about ordering some for myself to which they happily sent out servants to acquire some for me, they never had any qualms when it came to my books.

The Humans take on the supernatural was pretty good too but they seemed to have a natural urge to go towards perverted things at one point for another. Although it was true, I still didn't know what to think of it and was, still am confused to how they know. I mean the whole thing was in general and not just about devils, it didn't matter. As long as Supernatural was a relevant genre then there was something perverted there.

Japan is also the place where Rias consequently found her first piece with the help of Lord Gremory's Bishop. Due to this, my weekly visit was pushed back a few days so she could settle in to the Gremory household before my arrival. All I know is that the person is a japanese girl and has taken Rias' queen piece.

When that day came, I found myself being met by only Lady Gremory.

"Reon-kun, I hope having you come today didn't mix up your schedule."

"It was ok Venelena-sama, my knight moved the sword lesson to then freeing up today for me."

"Guy-kun? Is he still deathly afraid of me?"

"Hai, but it isn't just you Venelena-sama. Guy is afraid of women in general."

Ever since I can remember Guy has been afraid of women but it isn't due to women hurting him in anyway. His memory is rather patchy on the subject but he had a traumatic experience where he became scarred from it. From what I can tell I think he saw female family members die because when I found him he was alone. He is also only a few years older than myself so he was my first real friend too.

"Then I shall take you to see the new member of our family."

As Lady Gremory turned around, a maid came into our view and started to direct us towards where Rias and her queen would be. We ended up walking through the whole house and into a small patio-esque area which was made for Rias alone wen she had friends round. Both the maid and Lady Gremory left me at the doors so I could go in by myself and when I did, a familiar scent came to my nose. Among the devils, the Phoenix clan also had slightly better noses and a sort of eagle vision. The scent that came to my nose was one of our enemy but it was calmer than what i've smelt before, this one was also nervous.

I walked out into the small garden and saw two girls sitting at a table with a chess board in between them. A giddy Rias on one end and a calm and composed, Raven haired girl on the other. The two girls were engrossed in the game but Rias was so engrossed that she didnt notice my presence, fortunately for me the new girl didn't have to turn to see me allowing me to creep up unannounced.

I slowly reached them and bent my knees so my head was level with Rias' as shesat in the chair contemplating her next move. I then moved forward slightly and had my head right next to hers just inside her vision but a little blurry. That was proven correct when she turned to look and jumped out of her chair when she saw my face. When she landed back down, she looked at me briefly in disbelief. It was the first time I had done something like that with her, it was proof that we were getting closer.

Then out of nowhere, she lunged at me wrapping her arms around me and knocking me over in the process. Her hugs were always tight but warm at the same time, you'd have to risk getting physical to break away. Not that you'd want to, even despite her just hitting her teens she already had an impressive bust for her age.

"Reon-kun, You're here!"

She nuzzled her cheek against my chest as she happily welcomed me. I patted her head softly as I sat on the ground, not really having anything else to do. Rias' Queen then stood herself up and walked round the table to come into our view, once Rias saw this she instantly let go and stood next to the new girl while pushing out her chest in rivalry or triumph. This girl's breasts did rival Rias' for size and from look alone probably beat her in size.

I stood myself up and patted my pants down to get rid of any dust before turning my attention to the two girls.

"Reon-kun, this is my Queen. Himejima Akeno."

The girl called Akeno then bowed to me with a natural and sincere smile on her face. I then gave her a slight nod of my head and a smile as her body came back up from the bow.

"My name is Reon Phoenix, 4th son of Phoenix and Fiance to Rias Gremory. It's a pleasure to meet you, Akeno-chan."

"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Phoenix-sama."

She replied back to me cheerfully with a slight red tint on her cheeks. I wonder how she will take that I know she is a fallen angel, perhaps that few days was to also allow her to mask the scent as much as possible before she meets other devils. Would that be because she dislikes her Fallen half or she doesn't want to be treated differently because of it? I can always just deal with the consequences after, i'll try to say it as nicely as possible.

"If I may ask, is your Fallen side something you don't want to remember?"

As soon as I mentioned it, Akeno's face dropped and she hung her head like she was shameful of it. I then looked to Rias worried but she had held of Akeno's hand and was just looking at her neutrally. Rias must be naïve or she knows that I wouldn't discriminate because of it.

"Alright then, if you don't want it said then I won't mention it again. Just know I have no qualms with it and don't and won't like you any less because of it. As long as you serve Rias well and be friends with her then you won't have to worry."

Both girls then looked up to me happily, Akeno's eyes were also a little teary.

"..R-Really?"

Akeno asked me this while wearing an extremely fragile and timid expression like she'd break at any second.

"Yeah, just make sure to keep it to the Gremory Family and me. Other devils aren't so nice unfortunately."

Her expression then changed to a half smile and half downcast at the thought. All in all, it's only really something she would or could tell close friends and family so it's not like it matters much in the long run, that's my view at least.

…

From there on, I got to know the true Akeno and it was safe to say that she is a dangerous person but not the kind to physically hurt you dangerous. She was playfully dangerous and loved to tease, I could also swear that she had a sadistic side. When you learn that someone is engaged, you tend to play it safer with them. If you are a girl then you start acting slightly less friendly around the guy but not Akeno, it seemed to hype her up. At one point, we were playing chess with Akeno being a bystander and Akeno praised me on my moves putting Rias' king into check and obviously the young Rias cutely pouted in jealousy. Her reaction was to tell Akeno to not praise me as I was hers to which Akeno draped her arms around me and blew into my ear. I had never blushed that hard before in my entire life, my face lit up in a dark red colour.

I felt like Akeno wouldn't let that go anytime soon either. She was the kind of friend that you have to be very careful around or they'll pick up on something seemingly small and somehow make it big in embarrassment.

Himejima Akeno is a deviant.

Here is the introduction of everyone's favourite Sadist.
These opening chapters are gonna be low on the chatting side of things but it will be there, the chatting will kick in in a few chapters.
My notes are all the way up to chapter 22 so far and that's the beginning of the 2nd Arc in Canon which'll be a new arc taking over but still centred around Phoenix.

Next chapter is a new member to Reon's peerage and an extra hint towards the other Alpha if you haven't already guessed it yet.

Ciao.
