The week after winning the rating game and creating my clan was rather hectic and boring. It seemed like the rating game was aired on tv in the Underworld so a lot of devils saw my strength and ultimately saw me take Raiser down along with destroying a building with a single dual-punch. I received a lot of trade requests asking me to trade over to them, they were instantly burnt and I neglected to reply. I also received a lot of letters from the other 'Extra Demon' clans asking me to become a part of their community, they seem to be a tight knit group and didn't hesitate to contact me. It was the very first letter I received as well.

I only had two things in consolation, my car and a strange present from Azazel. The Jag was beautiful and worked like a dream with a beautiful V8 as it's chorus. I was surprised Sirzechs got it so easily, not many at all were made. He probably offered to pay more for it to get it. The present from Azazel was actually two things or should I say two guns, all members of Grigori were meant to have a pistol of their choice and then any other gun even one they designed themselves. What I got was a .50 Desert Eagle with a custom black and silver tiger stripe camo and a KRISS Vector with a silencer. Why I got them in particular I don't know, if I was going to use them then I don't know that either. They would definitely work for CQC. Azazel decided to go a step further and fuse the two guns with my shemagh scarf, putting my left hand under it would allow me to pull out the Vector and right hand would allow me the Desert Eagle.

I'm kinda sceptical as to why he gave them to me now and not before hand, even Asahi got his years ago. As it was a Saturday I was meant to go to the clubroom but I decided to neglect it and went shopping with Raynare for some school stuff and then anything else. I don't know how she did it or even when but she is now taking up residence in my house instead of in the hotel that Asahi and now Kalawarnar are staying in. Frankly, i'm not bothered by it and Azazel was even nice enough to increase the size of my room by magic.

I decided that we would go into the city for whatever she needed. I wouldn't mind buying myself something now that I have an abundance of money thanks to the royalties of the Manga. The main reason for going into the city was so I could take the Jag for a drive and by God was it awesome. You can't beat the purr of a V8.

…

As we got out of the car I summoned both my scarf and my headphones for precaution purposes. I've found out that the headphones work like my ears and the four icicles work like antennas and pick up faraway noise that come from supernatural beings. They aren't as good as my actual Neko ears but it suffices in everyday life, it's just a shame that the latest chapter of Azazel's manga was released yesterday so I might be recognized quickly.

We started to walk through the underground car park and I noticed Raynare fidgeting beside me. I cast a quick glance towards her and her eyes were eyeing up my waist area. She is either trying to see through my pants or is wanting to hold my hand and holding my hand is something I'll do for her. She is a beautiful girl after all.

I stopped and looked towards her while offering my hand.

"You wanted to hold it right?"

"B-but we aren't in a relationship."

I see, that's her reason for not trying to take my hand. A relationship huh? I would like to have one with her but there is Koneko too. I can tell that Raynare is pretty, I really think she is but I haven't felt physically attracted to her or anyone for that matter. I'm attracted to Koneko because she is cute but I also feel that the fact she is a Nekoshou like me is influencing it slightly. We are on good grounds but we don't talk that much either. I'll go with what I want and see how she takes it.

"We can be but I wouldn't only be yours."

"Really?! Nothing would please me more but to be by your side."

Raynare grabbed a hold of my hand and cupped it between both of her hands and brought it towards her chest. Her face was full of happiness, it wasn't something I could turn down if I wanted to. I felt my heart tighten just from looking at her.

"Yup. The only people I'd lie to are devils."

She was now wearing a giant grin and quickly took a hold of my hand rather sloppily. Her thin, soft and delicate fingers slotted into place and intertwined with my own. It was a nice, warm feeling to hold someone else's hand, it makes you feel special even if it's only to the person you are holding hands with. To them you are the most important person in the world.

"Please look after me Ray-chan."

I watched her smiling face turn red and continue getting darker as her blushing starts to consume her. I didn't need to use my Senjutsuu to see how she was feeling, I could feel her happiness coming from the connection of our hands.

Slowly we started to walk into the shopping centre and took an empty elevator up to the main floor. Arriving at the main floor, I took in the hustle and bustle of the place. It was a busy place filled with different age and social groups. There was also multiple people passing through with their dogs, that irritated me more than i'd of liked.

Just generally walking through we were met with lots of gazes, I couldn't pinpoint which one for them all but the majority seemed to be about my headphones. I could even hear the people around us recognizing me, there was even a few flashes presumably from cameras.

"Let's go in here."

The shop she took me into was a Lingerie store. To say I was feeling uncomfortable was an understatement, I didn't know what to do with my eyes. One of the hardest tests a girl can give a guy, if his eyes don't wander then he's a keeper. Personally, I think that the only way through it is to imagine what the girl could look like in it but it's bad for the easily aroused. It's a literal combination of heaven and hell.

When I had least expected it Raynare had disappeared into one of the changing rooms leaving me outside in a store full of women and underwear. Good-looking guys are given the benefit of the doubt because people automatically think that they're with their girlfriend, luckily people put me into that category. A minute or so later and the curtain behind me opened to show me a half naked Raynare. My eyes were instantly brought to what little she was wearing, a black satin bra with frills and a thin red ribbon at the hem done in a bow at the centre, the same was done for the panties.

All I could do was stare, I opened my mouth to say something but nothing would come out. It was like I lost my voice. Raynare noticed this quickly and went back behind the curtain to change, it seemed like she found what she wanted. She finished changing promptly and bought the set giving me the bag to carry straight after, I just took it in my right hand and we left the store to look for another one.

As we left the lingerie shop I felt a spike, a spike that was familiar to me. I stopped as we left the store and tightened my grip on Raynare's hand. I gave the area in front of me a quick scan and saw nothing out of the ordinary but I could feel and hear the beat of something supernatural close by, someone other than Raynare. There is two prime ways to flush them out, run around a corner quickly and then wait for them or kiss Raynare here and now. The first will definitely work but the second will only work if it's a girl or a male in a multiple year dry patch.

Deciding to go with the former I took charge of where we were going and dragged Raynare off around a corner leading to the public restroom and hid straight round the corner. As I moved I felt the signature flare up briefly and it got closer and closer. Once we were around the corner, Raynare had it in her mind that we were going for my second option, a kiss.

She spun me round to face her and pulled me straight into a kiss, a kiss where my mind overloaded and let her continue dominating.

I looked at Raynare's face and saw closed eyes with reddening cheeks underneath them. Soft lips with a cherry smell and taste, it was satisfying. It made me want more and that's what I was given. Raynare deepened the kiss and roughly pressed her tongue against teeth looking for the slightest opening, without noticing I opened them and her tongue went straight in.

The kiss was then cut short as I felt something on my chest, it pushed me back and I had my back against a wall. In a span of a few seconds I felt another sensation on my lips. It was another kiss but it was soft and sensual, my mind was freaking out. It took me a few seconds to look at who the new kisser was and when I saw who it was, my control came back and the temperature decreased causing the kiss to stop abruptly.

I was starting to fill with anger, the owner of the face in front of me was Rias Gremory. My eyes narrowed as I looked straight into her irritating teal eyes. Her skin had paled, both from my anger and the decrease in temperature. It seems like this devil doesn't know her place and happily she was alone. I easily swapped our positions and had her against the wall using my own body to hold her there with my left hand placed on the wall in between her right arm and side.

In my right hand I summoned Sao, my lunar dagger and brought it to her left side cutting through the black sun-dress she was wearing and placing the ice cold blade against her skin. The magic was starting to burn her skin and it was only just touching her.

"Are you jealous? Jealous that someone else can have me and you can't. If you get that jealous from a simple kiss then what would you do if I gave her my virginity?"

As I whispered into her ear, I held a dark glare and watched her paled reaction. She was upset, close to crying. It may be my fault but I have showed her my dislike, she should try and move on.

"You try something like that again and i'll restrain you making you watch the whole thing. I'll make you watch a fallen angel, a race that's your enemy, pleasure me, the guy you love."

I rocked the edge of the plan down against her side lightly causing her to shake from the cold contact.

"Listen devil, how do you expect to be your own person if you think you can get everything? There will always be things you can't get, sometimes you have to work for it though. You need to grow up, tough it up."

I dismissed the dagger and stepped away from her. Her pale face slowly looked towards my own, dark red patches appeared under her eyes and stared towards my own lifelessly.

"If you want me to be civil with you or even come to like you which I'll admit is near impossible, you'll have to change and grow up. You need to think more before each action, your affection is a good thing but it's too much. Think about others and not just yourself, if you can do that then you won't be seen as a kid. Not by me and not by your family."

I lightly slapped the back of my hand against her chest bringing life back into her eyes, a troubled smile rose up. I gave her a slight smile before turning to Raynare and leaving with her hand in hand.

…

Since dealing with Rias Raynare went quiet unless she saw something she liked and got my review on it. Rias is the one devil I can and will change myself, Can because I am close by and Will as a thanks to Sirzechs for keeping Koneko safe. I don't particularly have an obligation to but I feel like I have to, even without Koneko my race will live on. I just feel like it's better for me if I stay close to her.

Actually thinking about it why is Koneko against using her Senjutsuu? I know we have different ways of thinking but it's a huge part of us, it's essential so why? She doesn't seem like the type of person to push it to the side just because of the incident, it would have to be bigger like family. I do remember hearing that Kuroka did it to protect her sister but i'm not sure that it's enough to go on. Even though I want to find out, it's going to be a touchy subject and one I can hopefully deal with.

"Gin-kun."

Raynare's voice brought me out of my thoughts as we were standing in line for food at a fast food restaurant in the shopping centre. I don't actually remember getting there but I suppose that's alright.

"Yeah Ray-chan?"

"Is something wrong?"

"Not wrong but … I'm not sure."

"Wanna talk about it?"

"I suppose we can when we get to a table."

The line slowly got shorter and we finally got to make our order of just burger and fries along with a milkshake for myself. We slowly walked through the restaurant and found a quiet table in the corner which for some reason brought us attention. Mainly from the delinquents that resided here, the only female gazes came from the outside. It would seem like this is male territory rather than girls or even neutral.

We didn't even have time to start eating before the 'head honcho' decided to come over decked in a full leather bike outfit with steel studding. At out table he stood with his back towards me and planted his steel-capped boot down onto my right foot, not that it actually hurt me.

"Hey there honey, why don't you ditch this dweeb and have some fun with us?"

That there is extremely cliché and only has one meaning with this type of people. The only fun they are thinking of is sex.

I placed my burger down onto the tray and pushed the man in leather away from us and our table. This action didn't go down well with his cronies as they started shouting and swearing disrupting the whole restaurant and outside as well. The 'Head Honcho' quietened his cronies down before coming back to me and had his face right in front of mine.

"You've got some balls little man."

Little man eh? Let's see him say that again when I beat there asses to the ground.

"Ray-chan, when this obviously gets physical can you tell the staff that i'm sorry and will pay for all the damage, i'll even give them a little more as compensation."

She replied to me with a nod and a smile. The delinquent took this as a signal to start getting physical, they should spend more time in education if they think like that.

While still seated in my chair he threw the first punch, one that I caught in my own hand and pushed him away again allowing myself to stand up. As I did so some of the patrons here left and those who didn't moved to the wall giving us as much room as possible. Seeing that I still had a blank gaze the cronies all decided to come at me while the smaller ones pushed the tables aside before joining in.

Their punches rained in on me but none hit me, I just effortlessly sidestepped and ducked under each one. I took out the two smaller delinquents by giving them one punch each into their stomachs. I kicked the legs from underneath one and sent a punch into his stomach knocking him down to the ground while deflecting an incoming punch with the elbow of my other arm. Using it as momentum, I spun round and sent my fist into his face knocking him back into the arms of his fellow delinquent.

"Show him no mercy."

Once the guy in leather said that the cronies all took out pocket knives from their … well, pockets. My disappointment was pretty evident as I breathed a deep sigh. When the first knife-wielding delinquent came forward I caught the hand holding the knife and brought it past my body and pushed my arm into his elbow snapping it out of place. Letting go of that one, the next one came at me while slashing with the knife. This one was faster than I had expected and his knife was able to cut the front of my t-shirt and only just caught my chest. When he came again, I punched into his hand stopping the movement and pressing the handle into his hand. My punch caused him to spin because my body went left as a delinquent side-tackled me through the window of the store and crashing into the large walkway of the main floor.

I looked down to see the stomach area of my t-shirt missing along with the back starting to darken from blood I ripped the t-shirt from my body and under my scarf throwing it to the other delinquents then came out of the store giving Raynare time to go to the desk. I stretched my arms slightly allowing the shards of glass in my back to drop to the ground and I was starting to feel the effects of blood loss.

Luckily, there was only 3 delinquents left. The head honcho and two cronies, one with the speed and the other that knocked me through the window. As I sized them up I saw the two cronies come towards me. From behind them came a spinning stick which was launched straight at me, I saw Raynare behind them showing me a thumbs-up. Smiling, I caught the pole stick in my hand and swiped out at the 'Speed Delinquent' stopping him in his tracks and allowing the other to continue on. As he sent his punch I stepped to the side and went towards the one I stopped.

Taking the stick in one hand I smacked it down on the hand holding the knife bringing his hand downwards. Then with a quick flick, I brought it up again into his chin. Hearing movement from behind me, I waited a second before dropping down making the delinquent trip over my body like it was a barrel and he fell straight into the other delinquent leaving me against the 'Head Honcho'.

"Is this enough or not?"

My question riled him up as he clicked his tongue and then came at me with his fist that was wielding a knuckle duster with spikes. Watching him come towards me, I bounced the stick against the ground sending it towards him making him knock it aside with his other hand losing some momentum. I stepped in towards him and bent down slightly allowing me to send an uppercut straight into his chest effectively knocking him out.

As his body slouched to the ground, clapping started to reverberate around me. I gave the spectators a smile as Raynare came over to me.

"Let's go and get me a new t-shirt."

After bandaging me up that's what we did, we went into the nearest men's clothes store and bought me a plain black t-shirt along with some others.

…

A few hours later and we had finally finished shopping and had gotten back into the car. A few minutes into the drive back, Raynare spoke up.

"What was worrying you before?"

"Rias and Koneko."

"Why?"

"I'm conflicted about Koneko, I wanna know more but some are touchy subjects. It came to mind after dealing with Rias. After the rating game, Lucifer asked me to continue treating her like I do to help her mature."

"Are you going to? He'll owe you one for it."

"That's true but i'm unsure. Helping her out will ease my time here with the devils but I don't know how Rias will take to it. You've seen how she feels about me, i'm unsure how she'll see me trying to help her out. Even if I was to tell her that Lucifer had asked me to do it, would she take it that way or would she think i'm being a tsundere about it and somehow get into her mind that I like her. I'm having to put up with life, a life where I'm being lorded over by a race I despise. My mind is constantly working on how to deal with things."

"Then why agree to become a pure-blood?"

That's actually a good question.

"To me, a reincarnated devil and a devil are the same. I hold the same hatred to both, the reason I became a pure-blood is so I can do what I want within there. I will also get more political power and hopefully I can bring their impression of my race to a favourable level, befriending Leviathan will help too. She is the manager of Foreign Affairs so getting on her good side is a huge plus, additionally she is a devil I think I can trust. She saved a Nekomata."

"What about Lucifer then? He saved Koneko."

"It's slightly complicated there. I respect him for that and only that. I don't know the real reasons behind his or Leviathan's reasons for saving the ones they did but looking at it, I see Leviathan in a more favourable light. Lucifer saved Koneko then gave her as a present to his younger sister, turning her into a tool. Leviathan saved Hibiki and allowed him to do whatever, he chose to work for her as thanks. Leviathan even hid his identity to further keep him safe."

It then went silent for the rest of the car ride back. A touchy subject has a way of destroying the mood completely. I felt like it put a damper on me and Raynare for the rest of the day. Raynare spent the rest of it with Asia, despite what had happened they were actually good friends. I stayed in my room for the rest of it reading over the script for KoG while thinking about what was on my mind.

A way to settle everything through Rias. It's troublesome and only partly worth it but something I want to do. I don't care about her but I want my time here to be as good as it could possibly be. A teenager is not an easy thing to deal with. People who don't see the world for what it really is, people who are oblivious to what's to come. Being a teen, going through school is when you learn that life isn't always going to go your way. That means I have a year for her to understand and change, that's for her sake. It goes down to like 3 months for my own.

This chapter was the result of a long day and night. Thankfully, my fiancé is now better so i can sleep.
This'll probably mean no update tomorrow but who knows how long i'll actually sleep. Next chapter is the start of the Excalibur arc and expect a small twist.
All of the weapons and shields in 'Lunar Gear' are named after moons. For example, Triton from last chapter is Neptune's largest moon and Sao is another one of Neptune's many moons. This chapter is to show how Gin will deal with his relationships, how he starts them with Raynare who may or may not become the Alpha and then Rias, the girl who is still maturing and her jealousy.
The part at the top about the guns will actually be of worth in the future. Combine what i said of the Extra Demons along with the Peace Treaty and you'll know.

Anyway, hopefully i can get a good few hours of sleep. Ciao-nya.
