Deadly Shinigami: Well since the first person to say something about it seems so passionate about it, I just may have to add her now.

EternityDragon2610: Where would the fun in telling everyone be? You'll see.

Dodgedude: Guilty

Okay so once again it's been far too long since I posted anything, and as usual I apologize. Once again I've been plagued by school but now more than ever I've had a lot of personal problems that have been leaving me depressed and unmotivated to even think of what to do with my stories. But I just finished my finals and I just started my summer break, so I have nothing holding me back except the still lingering depression.

This chapter's not gonna be all that good in my opinion. I went over it like five times and I almost don't want to post it, but you've been waiting for far too long, as have I. So even though it's horrible, I hope you enjoy.

On with the show!

Twas just another day that began by feeling heavy an realizing I had multiple women on top of me, which turned into an argument between said women about who is allowed to sleep with me. Which, in turn, ended in me going down to my workshop to escape such a racket. Only it was a lot harder to ignore now that I had two more girls living with me.

Seeing as how there were no more empty rooms in my house some had to share their room with Kuesu and Himari. Asia volunteered to share her room with Himari, while Kuesu practically forced herself into my room and refused to sleep with anyone but me.

{You are one lucky bastard.} My dad said as I was adjusting my guns.

"Not sure if "lucky" is the word I would use."

{Come on, it's not that bad. If they weren't arguing all the time, you'd be thoroughly enjoying this.} He pointed out.

"Well...I can't say that you're wrong." I admitted.

{Anyway, on the subject of your "roommates", don't you think you should have some quality time with Kuesu? I mean it has been a long time since you saw her, and she's clearly missed you.}

I put my guns down and thought about what my dad said. The only problem there would have been was, if I asked her to do anything with me, the others would protest and/or tag along.

"Think they'd understand?" I asked him.

{If you make it worth their while, perhaps.} He hinted.

"*sigh* Well I see no other way out." I said glumly.

I finished working on my weapons and went upstairs to fetch Kuesu. When I reached the living room Rias was laying down the law to Kuesu.

"You don't get to sleep with him! That's a privilege reserved for me, with Asia being the only exception!" She said.

"You can't stop me from being with my fiancé you cow!" Kuesu hissed back, rather calmly.

"What did you call me!?" Rias asked in anger.

"You heard me." I think it was time for me to break this up. I moved in between Rias and Kuesu before they could try to kill each other.

"Ok ladies break it up." I said. Rias made a childish face at Kuesu. "Rias be nice." I told her and she stopped making the face and pouted. I looked at Kuesu "I'd like to catch up with you, and ya know, spend the day with ya." I told her with a smile.

"What!? You're going on a date with her before me!?" Raynare growled threateningly.

"In all fairness, Raynare, I took you on a date and you killed me. And it's not a date, I just wanna catch up with someone I haven't seen since I was five." I explained. Now Raynare was pouting.

"Sound like a marvelous idea, beloved." Kuesu replied, putting emphasis on "beloved", which angered the other girls.

"I'll make it up to you girls later. Ya ready Kuesu?" She nodded and we walked out the door with her latching onto my arm.

"Where shall we start, I don't know the city very well, so I expect you to take care of me." She said.

"Well I'm sure we BOTH need to relieve some stres so-"

"Oh Michael, out here in public?" Kuesu suggested in a sultry tone.

"NOT LIKE THAT!" I denied blushing madly. "I know a place that serves great tea, I know the girl who who works there so we can get it for free." I said more calmly.

"I thought you hated tea?"

"She also makes great coffee, and considering the sleep I've been getting, I could go for a cup, or ten." I led us to the tea shop, showing her some places we found interesting so she'd get a better feel for the city.

When we arrived at the cafe, Cafe Relish, and I started praying that Liz wouldn't do what she always does when she sees me. I opened the door and went in first, soKuesu wouldn't get hit.

"MICHAEL!" That was the last thing I heard before I was on the floor with Lizlet sitting on top of me with a happy smile across her face.

Lizlet was a happy carefree girl who worked as the head maid at this cafe. She has long blonde hair tied into two ponytails, bright blue eyes, and she wears a navy blue maid outfit with white and red accents, a white apron, a red headband, a choker with a red ribbon on it, black stockings, and brown laced boots. And like most girls I now know, her breasts wouldn't even fit in one of my hands.

"Hey Liz. Been awhile." I greeted, groaning as her body crushed my own.

"It's been more than awhile! You haven't visited me in weeks!" For some reason I find her whining really cute.

"I'm sorry, Liz, I've my hands have been tied lately and I have next to no free time now." I apologize. "If you can get off me I can explain myself." I requested. She realized the position we were in a blushed as she got off of me and met Kuesu's cold glare, which scared her back onto the ground. "Whoa easy, Kuesu!" I said waving my hands, standing in between the two. I gestures to Lizlet "This is Liz, a friend of mine and she's a tsukumogami."

"That just gives me more of a reason to kill her!" Kuesu said pulling out her spellbook, which I snatched from her as soon as I saw it.

"Calm down Kuesu. Liz is a pacifist and wouldn't hurt a fly." I assured.

"But she-"

"No buts! You promised you were gonna be more liniment with monsters and all that." I reminded her. She sighed and nodded her head in understanding. I moved next to Liz "Anyway, Liz, this is my old friend Kuesu."

"AND his fiancé." Kuesu hissed as a way to tell Liz to "back off"

"Yes she's also that. I just reunited with her the other day and I'm showing her around." I said

"I-I see." Liz replied, still frightened of Kuesu.

"Kuesu will have the best tea you can whip up, I'll have the usual."

"O-Ok." Liz walked off, carefully observing Kuesu's movements as I led her to a table.

"You're gonna love the tea Liz makes, it's almost enough to get me to like tea. Normally Aleno's tea is only that good." I chuckled as we sat down. Meanwhile Kuesu was observing Liz. I saw this and shifted in front of her line of sight. "I told you: Liz is a total sweetheart, harmless. I've known her since my uncle first brought me here and she's never shown any sign of being a threat." After pondering my words for a moment Kuesu stopped observing her.

"Here you go." Lizlet gae us our drinks and I immediately swallowed mine in one gulp. I asked her if she coul refill it and she happily agreed. Kuesu took a sip of her tea and gasped at it's taste.

"It's good, huh?"

"It's delicious!" Kuesu said in shock.

"Yeah no one makes tea quite like Lizlet." I said as Liz brought me another cup of coffee.

"Oh, Michael, you're too nice." She said.

"I'm just speakin the truth." I said and Liz started giggling. Kuesu was glaring at Liz again so I decided to shut up with the compliments.

"Now I want an explanation, Michael! Why haven't you visited!?" Liz asked angrily. I laughed because I could never take Liz seriously when she gets made, I just find it do funny.

"Well ya see..." I was about to speak up again when I was shoved to the ground by a man in a black hoodie, covering his face. "Hey what's your problem!?"

"Son of Sparda!"

"Oh come on!" I pull out my gun and shot the guy in the face. The hole in his head instantly regenerated and before he opened his mouth to utter a single syllable, I kicked him off me and threw him out the window.

'I can't go crazy with my powers out in public like this, gonna have to take it easy on him, guns, hands and sword only.' I followed the guy out the window and pulled my guns out again.

"Okay buddy, we can do this the easy way, or my way." He didn't respond, he sprinted towards me. I shot a few more rounds into him but he wasn't phased. I stepped aside so he wouldn't pin me down again. When he ran past me, he immediately caught himself and spun around to kick me in the face. "Okay we'll do it my way then." I said wipin some blood off my lip.

I ran up to him and went for a swift punch in his face, but he dodged it and grabbed my arm to throw me into a light post. Before the actual light came down on my head, I caught it and chucked it at the guys head. While he was to distracted dodging it, I ran back up to him, grabbed him by his shoulders, and threw him into a building. I used less strength so he wouldn't go through it but he was stuck for awhile, long enough for me to pin him to the wall with one arm while I punched him in the face with my free arm,and kicked him in the stomach with my knee.

My enemy opened his mouth and a light emmited from his mouth. I stepped aside as a large stream of fire shot out of his mouth. He stepped out of the hole in the building and threw a death glare at me. "My flames will burn you into nothing, Son of Sparda!"

"Speaking of flames, Kuesu?" A few balls of fire went past my head, blowing my hair forward, and hitting the guy in the face. While I have been fighting the guy with bad breath Kuesu was preparing a spell and waiting for a clear shot.

"No one harms my fiancé and lives!" She stated.

"And no one lives once I set my sights on them." My opponent said. "My name is Kai, I'm a tsukumogami." He revealed.

'Great then I can't kill him unless I destroy the item he was born from.' I complained in my head. 'Tsukumogamis usually keep their item close, now where is his?'

"Now burn!" Kai shot more fire out of his mouth but I was too lost in thought. Luckily Kuesu shot more of her own flames at him to protect me.

"I told you you're not laying a finger on my beloved's precious head!" Kuesu reminded. I noticed, when the wind shifted when their flames clashed, Kai's hoodie flapped in the wind, and a bronze candle holder was seen attached to his hip.

'There!'

"Liz toss me the guitar case I brought!" I called to the friendly tsukugomi.

"O-Okay." This whole situation left her frightened but she still managed to throw my guitar case.

"Gonna play yourself a sad melody before I kill ya? Too bad!" More fire shot out of Kai's mouth and he burned my guitar case to nothing. I caught Rebellion, which I hid inside of the case. I carved a cut into the ground before moving in for another attack. I cut off one of his arms and before he could attack me with his remaining arm, I jumped behind him an cut that one off too. I seized the opportunity and kicked him too the ground and snatched the candle holder tied to his hip.

"Lemme guess, fallen angel with long ears, long black hair, and pale skin promised he'd give ya power I'd ya killed me?" I asked tossing the candle holder in my hand.

"B-Be careful with that!" Kai pleaded underneath my foot.

"Tell me what I want and you'll get it back." I offered. "I want your bosses name."

"He never told us! All I know is he's one of the fallen angels leaders! I swear that's all I know!" Kai was a lot more quick to answer than the damn big from the other day. I kept my word and handed the candle holder back to him. I walked away and as I walked away, "Don't let your guard down, dumbass!"

As he prepared another attack I shot the candle holder out of his hand and resumed shooting until he finally disappeared. The surrounding civilians stood in awe. Since I didn't use any of my powers, they simply thought I was simply agile and all that.

"Alright people nothin to see here just move on with whatever you were doing, and forget what you saw!" I told the people in the area and they slowly started to disband the area. I went back into the cafe via the broken window and took another sip of coffee. Kuesu and Liz stood over me: Kuesu with a sultry smile, and Liz with a shocked expression. "What?"

"That was very impressive Michael. I like this new you. I like it a lot." Kuesu said licking her lips. I laughed nervously and turned to Liz.

"M-Michael... W-what was that? How did you do all that?" She asked nervously.

"Well before I was interrupted, I was about to tell you that I'm a devil, half rather to be exact." I said normally, the adrenaline rush I had from my fight made me not as nervous tellin Liz the truth about myself.

"Y-You're a what!?"

"A half devil. I'm the son of the strongest devil in the Underworld. That's why I haven't been able to visit, since word got out that I was a human/devil hybrid I've had a huge target painted on my back, and it gets bigger every day." I told her normally.

"And he's my fiancé!" Kuesu restated, clinging to my arm.

"Riiight." I sigh at Kuesu's fixation of me. "Anyway, nothing's changed really. I'm still me, just happen to have demons and such after my head, literally." I assured Liz, who shook her head.

"I know nothing has changed with you. And I don't see you in any negative way, in fact, after seeong that display of yours, I see you in a more positive way." She said sweetly, with a hint of suggestiveness in her phrasing.

'Oh great.'

{He makes me prouder every day.}

[I agree. Excellent work, partner]

'SHUT UP!'

"Well we should really be going, right Michael?" Kuesu asked, not too pleased with how Liz was acting towards me.

"I uh, guess so. Yeah."

"Aww you're leaving? Fine, but I expect you to start coming by again!" Liz demanded.

"Heheh, I'll do my best. See ya later, Liz." I laughed nervously and Kuesu yanked my arm and we headed home. Kuesu clinged to my arm the entire walk home.

"How exactly do you know that girl?" She asked.

"My uncle used to take me there as a kid when I was angry. He always thought that Liz's tea had calming elements to it, even though I normally hate tea. I've known her for years and I go there when I need to calm down." I answered, thinking back to my childhood. "I hadn't been able to go recently due to recent events, I'm happy I was able to see Liz again."

"Don't get any ideas." Kuesu warned.

"What's wrong ya jealous?" I asked teasingly.

"Of course not, I know you won't fall victim to her advances."

"So you don't mind if I see her every now and then?" I asked sarcastically.

"Like hell you will!" Kuesu yelled.

""Not jealous" she says." I repeat.

"When did you become such a tease?" She pouted.

"It keeps me entertained."

We arrived at the house and it was surprisingly quiet compared to when we left. After some discussing, I convinced Kuesu to sleep in her room tonight. After putting my weapons away I went upstairs to my room. I opened my door with an audible yawn and soon saw Rias and Himari sitting on my bed.

"Welcome home!" They said together.

"Uh, thanks. What are you two doing here?" I asked, scratching the back of my head.

"After a long, rather heated, debate..." Rias started.

"We came to the decision that Rias and I will sleep with you tonight." Himari finished.

I was far too tired, and far too sore, to say anything against them. I changed out of my street clothes into a pair of black sweats and laid down on my bed, Rias and Himari following not much later. Rias, as usual, was naked and took my right arm in her chest, while Himari wore only a bra and panties a took my left arm.

I didn't get to think much about it because I was already asleep.

Sparda's POV

I was sitting on a chair I had formed in my son's subconscious, deep in thought about the events that had been unfolding. My thinking was interrupted when I heard large wings flapping and a roar that had become familiar to me by now. "Ddraig."

"I take it you're troubled." He stated.

"I am."

"Penny for your thoughts?"

"You dot have any money."

"You must be troubled, you're taking my statements seriously."

"The constant description Michael has been getting, I feel as if I'm familiar with the one targeting my son."

"You don't say. Who is he?"

"His name currently escapes me. But his description does sound very familiar, I just can't place a name."

"You sure knew a lot I people in your day." Ddraig stated.

"I wasn't just the strongest, I was also the busiest. I knew many Devils, Angles, Fallen Angels, etc. There have just been so many people I worked with in some way I forget most of their names." I explained.

"If you associated with him, he must be strong." I stood up and looked Ddraig in the eye.

"I don't know his name, but I have a feeling that he'll be more of a challenge than Raiser. Much more."

"What should we tell him?" He asked me.

"Nothing yet. Not until I know for certain who our enemy is. Feeding him false info is more of a danger than the real enemy. Until I can confirm my suspicions, we BOTH act like we're in the dark about this." I said, emphasizing "both" so he knows to keep quiet as well.

"If that's what you think is best."

I took a seat again and resumed thinking. This matter would be a huge bother, that would gnaw away at my mind, until I found the answer. The list of names I had memorized during the time I was alive was a long one. Most of the faces have turned blurry, some much more than others. Yet faces I HAD long forgotten, have begun to resurface in my mind.

"I fear you will be even more busy as I was, my son.

Now I can finally move on with the plot. I'm not gonna get too much into all of wha'll go down next time, I'll let the title speak for itself. And I'm not gonna bother with the harem list. I'll save that for next time.
