It had roughly been five minutes since we got into the place to be used for our Rating Game. The place turned out to be the department store that is close-by to our school in the human world. It also seemed that Grayfia was once again our Arbiter but I could swear I heard Asahi's voice in the background, he was probably trying to take over the microphone. As hilarious a commentator he would be, the Rating Game would not be a serious thing at all. Asahi can be too funny for his own good at times.
My team mates had one problem to this game, me. I hadn't told them that I wasn't going to fight until a few minutes ago, this had in turn destroyed most of Rias' strategies that she could come up with. It would seem to be that most of her strategies were to do with me as the vanguard, they were restricted greatly by the fact the building couldn't be destroyed. One of Rias' plan was for me to use 'Cold Coffin' to collapse the building as they teleport themselves to the roof. That's a plan I actually liked the sound of.
I spent my whole time during the strategizing sitting down on a nearby chair relaxing. I was extremely tempted to summon a ball of yarn to play around with idly but i'm not sure I would stop if I did. I have plenty of time after the game to do so if I want.
In the midst of doing nothing at all, I heard Rias go over what I was to do in the match. I was to help Gasper by keeping watch on the battlegrounds and was to cast whatever spells I wanted around the place. The best way for me to do that would be as a cat so that restricts me to only being able to apply runes in and around the area, unfortunately i'm not near a level of experience that allows me to even use a basic spell while in my cat form. There was only three things I could do while being a cat, phase through things, place down runes and summon miniature versions of my sword and cape from Total Eclipse. Why the last one works I do not know, they don't even do anything other than make me look like a cosplaying cat. A Hollywood Cat.
Though as I sat there waiting I could sense something that wasn't from our own group which made me think the Sitri group. It was an exciting smell that was extremely pungent. It wasn't something I had felt before but my body had last reacted this way with Kuroka and only her. Whoever this person is could either be a good match for me or a good fight at least, if so then I may retract my own statement and fight that person.
[Ring!]
A loud bell sounded and echoed throughout the department store and our vanguards disappeared to go and fight the good fight. Gasper nervously transformed into bats before slowly flying off. I stayed still in my chair for a few seconds before standing up and looking to the three magic users of our group.
"Rias, want an incentive?"
"Incentive?"
"If you are able to take down Sona and I mean defeat her, not let her retire. If you can do that Rias, then i'll let you sleep in the same bed as me every fortnight. No one else can beat her, just you."
"Really?!"
I knew she would see it as an incentive but the amount I gave shouldn't have been enough to get her this ecstatic. Maybe it's too much, we are going from never to a fortnight. Maybe once a month would have been better for me and her, I don't want to give her any ideas. Well … I don't see Sona as the type of person to be defeated, she'd resign before retiring. The only way Sona would lose in a fight to Rias if she was to cause a head-on collision with attacks rather than defend.
I mentally shrugged at my own thoughts before taking my cat form and summoning my cape. I gave a quick look around to gauge the building and saw a rather balanced power ratio until I spotted the roof. At the roof was a small aura and a highly condensed aura, I would gauge the not-condensed aura to be much, much greater than mine would be.
Choosing to take that as my position to keep over watch, I lazily started to pad my way through the department store and rather than running I took a leisurely stroll. My trip to the roof was unnecessarily long but I did happen to stroll past the two Sitri pawns confusing them greatly, it seems they had no qualms with a cat. As I reached the final set of stairs, an announcement played through some speakers.
[One of Rias Gremory-sama's Bishops has retired.]
That would mean that my trap of a kohai was taken out and presumably by garlic. I don't know whether I should be surprised or not, I mean why would he even get near it to begin with. That kid really needs to improve on his sense of smell, it'll help him deal with this kind of thing.
The metal door clicked itself open as I tapped my left paw against it and I walked out onto the roof to see Sona and someone I didn't expect to see. Actually, I don't think anyone could have foreseen this.
"Like I thought, you found me instantly."
I don't know whether Sona is trying to praise me or is feeling a little sad because I found her. Nevertheless, I didn't really come here because I knew she was here.
"So-tan, who are you talking too?"
The person who was here with Sona was her older sister, Serafall Leviathan. How that got allowed I won't know and I have a feeling that I might not want to either. There has to be some anger behind that overly happy façade of hers. Sona pointed straight at me when Serafall finished speaking, the look on Serafall's face made me a little scared for my well-being as the cat at least.
I quickly reverted to my human form which made the cape disappear too. I appeared sitting on the ground in training gear which consisted of Black track pants and sneakers with a silver tank top. While Serafall was happy to see me like this she did click her tongue in annoyance, I may be able to get something if I promise to show her that form again. I'll have to be careful that I don't use it too casually around her.
"So why exactly is Sera here?"
I asked them in a tone that was both bored and not really interested, something that didn't bother the Sitri sisters in the slightest. They both know that I rarely ever care for an answer when i'm the one asking a question.
"You wouldn't have a fun time on your birthday fighting So-tan's peerage."
"How did you know that today is my birthday?"
"Aza-chan."
Azazel wouldn't have betrayed me unless two things were on the line, his sacred gears or his dick. She must have exploited him to do this … I may be thinking too highly of Azazel though. The guy can be a real pain in my ass at times. Either way, I can just beat him afterwards.
"So you are here to fight me?"
"...Yes."
The cosplaying Maou just told an obvious lie and for some reason her body is heating up. I don't really understand the reasoning here. Does she have a fetish for telling lies? Is that even an actual fetish? I don't even know why i'm so interested in finding that answer. I would have to say though that having a chance to fight Serafall would be good but there is no doubt that she'd be holding back greatly. I want to decline this fight but I feel like I have to accept.
[One of Sona Sitri-sama's Pawns have retired.]
"Then let's fight."
I paid no heed to the announcement and just stared at Serafall. I have the advantage in a physical fight but that wouldn't last long as she would compensate by using magic. I'd dare say that my advantage is a slight one in close combat, I'd probably still have the upper hand because I know how to fight in close quarters properly. This is all assumption of course, I have never seen Serafall fight before and she has seen me fight before.
It's been a while since I will have gone all out, frankly i'm not going to abide by the rules. If I break parts of the building then so what? I'll either be forcefully retired which won't happen because im fighting Serafall or i'll just have points taken away from me at the end and a bad point will go into Rias' results for the match.
We then started our fight as Sona stepped off to the side. A simple clash of fists were enough to cause the building to shake from the after-shock, waves of excess power flowed out from the connection and surged through the building beneath us, it almost felt dangerous.
'What the hell are you doing Gin?!'
Rias' voice came into my ear disturbing me slightly. I let out a small grunt before replying mentally.
'Having fun.'
I then cut off the link as quickly as I answered allowing myself to focus back on Serafall. As my bare fist met her magically covered fist I could feel the cold temperature of her icy magic, ice magic doesn't really go well with her in all honesty. It's almost like she knows Ice magic for the sake of being Leviathan. She is a cheery, bubbly person who constantly cosplays so why doesn't she use her family's water magic or even fire magic.
As I stepped back from Serafall, her magic tugged at something inside of me. Her magical presence alone was reacting with my blood as Tsukiyomi, it was telling me … no commanding me to go forth. It went beyond pure imagination, I could hear his voice, a subtle whisper that glided past my ears in a language that took me by surprise. All Shinto Gods knew Japanese and one other language of their choice, a country that they would place their faith in. Tsukiyomi's was France, I had always wondered why I was born able to speak French. As my Japanese grew, so did my French. The moon was something that interested the Europeans greatly in music, at an early stage at least.
This soft voice willed me to summon my headphones and my headphones alone, I did it unconsciously and the sound of a piano started to play in my ears. Clair de lune, French for moonlight. It was a piece that I'd heard before, a piece most people would have heard but right now, it was affecting me more than ever. Each note was filling me with warmth and my divinity would rise. It was peaceful, my mind was clear to the point of not caring for anything other than continuing this fight. It made me want to fight in accordance to each note.
As a smile found it's way to my face I did, I let my body go along with the music. I went towards Serafall again and sent my right fist forward happily colliding with her own, along with the motion came my left fist which went towards Serafall as well. Once it collided, I pulled back my right fist and went again. My body obviously couldn't dance to the piece in this type of place but it could damn well make each punch connect with the sound of each note, that would play rapidly at times.
My Senjutsuu leaked out in the hits as my magic leaked out towards the sky making it darken ever so briefly before a silver light graced the battlefield was infiltrated through the partially glass roof and illuminated down on the devils below. A sense of serenity gave me the ability to turn the sky to night and grant myself a complete boost upon a full moon. The silver moonlight hit my body and exploded in a torrent of pure silver light that was too beautiful to stun. A thing of pure beauty that was simply welcoming.
[Sona Sitri-sama's final Pawn has retired.]
They got to go out with a peaceful sight at least. That fact was unable to make me pause as I broke the glass underneath us causing us to drop, neither myself or Serafall stopped the decent or released our wings to slow the fall. We dropped to the ground easily and pain free before facing off once again sending more shock-waves through the growingly unsteady building. The sway in the walls could be felt by everyone.
[Rias Gremory-sama's Pawn has retired.]
That was the only fact to make a change in me, it made my smile grow.
[Sona Sitri-sama's Knight and Rook have retired.]
[One of Rias Gremory's Knights have retired.]
We both stood staring at each other as Sona's two bishops stood off to the side maintaining a barrier around an illusion of Sona, and a pretty good one at that. We were then surrounded by the remaining members of the game from both sides. Gasps came from my team mates as they saw who helped me with the shock-waves.
"Serafall Leviathan-sama..."
Rias' voice came out surprised as she stood with the remnants of her peerage that all looked in awe towards myself and Serafall. Kiba, the lone male left other than me of course, seemed to look a little out of place and almost hesitant. They all seemed like they neglected to fight each other as their attention was plainly on us.
My lust was slowly rising and my cat features had already forced themselves out. Serafall had enveloped her body in a dark cloud of mist that entangled itself around her limbs. All happiness had left her eyes and they burned with anticipation of what's to come.
Our fists collided once again but this time but much more strength, Serafall was not holding back in the slightest and it showed when I felt the bones in my left arm fracture from her magical pressure. That alone was enough to get me excited, excited enough for everyone to see it. I was turning feral, going into the state of pure lust and only lust. My hair grew out further and quickly went from beautiful and silky to an unruly spiked mess that forced me into a wild look which was accompanied by the thick mounds of silver fur that erupted from my body and took over my shoulders and lower legs.
My senjutsuu was quick to wrap itself around my left arm quickly attempting to fix the fractured bones in my arm. I was being dominated and easily at that, it was a strange sensation and something I found arousing. To fight a woman stronger than me like this in close proximity is nothing short of orgasmic. The bone fractures proved it to me, the fact that she could do so was the proof. I needed to drag it out for longer.
"Raaaaaaaagh!"
A loud primal roar erupted from my mouth as my body was being wrapped in ice. My armour took form around my body while encasing my fur in ice and creating the gigantic ice wings out of my back. The tigers at my fist grew in size and the the large fangs grew at a much faster rate getting to at least double the original length. My feline instincts were starting to take over, Serafall was no longer a devil to me. She was now prey that had to be mine and she knew it, she could see the glint in my eye.
"Neh Rias-chan~?"
"Y-Yes Leviathan-sama?"
"You are all going to want to leave right now, you won't want to see what happens next~."
A sadistic smirk adorned my face as I understood what she meant. She placed herself into this game so she had a way to force me into this state and show her love. Her plan was reduce me to my feral instincts which are to mate and survive.
"What do you mean Leviathan-sama?"
"Are you sure you don't already know~?"
Serafall's slightly harsh tone was new to us all and something I wanted to take advantage of while she is still acting that way. I jumped towards her sending a fist straight at her and collided with a magic barrier which broke under the pressure of my senjutsuu allowing my fist to embed itself in her stomach. I quickly shifted my fist to my palm was placed against her stomach and pushed creating a wave of energy that wrapped itself around Serafall fighting to take control of her body giving me enough time to do it physically. I clenched my hand back into a fist and grabbed a hold of her top and picked her up until the air before bring her body down to the ground creating an almighty crater but no visible damage to anything or anyone else.
Serafall just looked over to Rias and shook her head in an upwards motion, telling her where Sona was. They were hesitant to do so but once they consciously noticed the pheromones I was emitting they left quickly before they were drawn in by it.
As the devil underneath me turned her vision back to me a snarl crept up into the back of my throat and reverberated outwards. She just smiled happily and wrapped her arms around my neck.
"Ravage me."
She playfully whispered into my ear. There was no need to say anything more.
...Kiba PoV...
We all ran together towards the roof as quickly as we could but it didn't matter. The sound and the pressure carried. The animalistic grunts and the moans of pleasure assaulted our ears and we couldn't do anything about it. I had even shoved my fingers into my ears but it didn't stop the moans at all. The atmosphere surrounding us was sombre. Koneko, Akeno-san and Buchou were the cause, this was affecting them more than it was us. To us it was simply uncomfortable, to them it was so much more that I am unable to comprehend. My master had thrown herself at Tsukiyomi-kun but got nothing in return. Akeno-san was what he desired but kept at arms distance because of her troubles. Koneko was starting to show emotion towards everyone thanks to him and was slowly getting over her past.
We arrived at the roof in 'silence' and stood opposite Kaichou who now had the remainder of her peerage behind her. Only three of us stepped forward. Myself, Akeno-san and Buchou. Akeno-san glared daringly at the two bishops and Rias held hope in her eyes. I shifted my gaze from Tsubaki-senpai to the others every second while the obnoxious screams filled our ears. Everyone's faces held a slight tint of red while trying to hold some seriousness.
"Sona, did you know about Leviathan-sama's intentions?"
"Onee-sama didn't tell me but I expected this to be the case. I thought she may have had the decency to teleport the both of them out."
Kaichou looked very embarrassed by Leviathan-sama's actions.
Both Buchou and Akeno-san took another step forward while looking at each other and nodding. I was about to take a step forward but their gazes bore into me like I was under a magnifying glass. It felt like they were both looking directly into my soul.
"Buchou..?"
"Stay back Yuuto. Neither Akeno or I are in the position to deal with anything peacefully."
I simply nodded to her before moving back and placing myself beside Koneko. I could feel it in the pressure that both of them were giving off, they were deeply hurt and were extremely angry. All of their anger was directed at Leviathan-sama but they couldn't unleash it upon her because they'd hit Tsukiyomi-kun so they were going to alleviate it on the next best thing. Leviathan-sama's sister and her peerage.
As their magic flared I could see that they both improved greatly by Tsukiyomi's training. Buchou had multiple large crimson magic circles in front of her as Akeno-san was being enraptured by countless sparks of thunder and numerous shards of ice that danced around her slightly trembling physique. While trying to contain their anger, they were also suppressing their tears.
"Sona … please forgive me for this but … Gin promised me ..."
Buchou's words seemed to veer off towards the end but that was due to the spike in magic from both Buchou and Akeno-san. As I looked at the backs of them I felt fear and a searing pain across my skin like I was being burned.
"For Gin … I'll use this wretched power ..."
"I am worth his time … I'll show him."
They both started to mumble under their breathes as their magic continued to rise as their bodies started to illuminate in the colours of their power. Buchou was covered in a beautiful but menacing crimson as Akeno-san was covered in a dazzling pale yellow.
"Be Gone!"
My senpai's shouted both at the same time releasing their magic upon our opponents, the Student Council.
The sight was overwhelming as their magic created a solid barrier between them allowing their own magic to strike two each. Akeno-san's magic which was a combination of Gin's ice and her own lightning struck the two Sitri bishops as Buchou's 'Power of Destruction' completely overwhelmed Kaichou's and Tsubaki-senpai's attempt to fight back.
The result from the attack was no bodies and an announcement from Grayfia-san.
[Sona Sitri-sama and her final pieces have retired. Rias Gremory-sama win.]
I could swear that just as we were being teleported away, I could see a small smile creep onto Buchou's face as she wiped away a single tear.
Well, this chapter had quite the bit of implied stuff. That's due to the fact that this is still T rated and i'm not to confident as of yet.
If you guys really want a lemon then tell me and with which character then i'll attempt one.
Your choices are Koneko, Akeno, Serafall, Katerea, Raynare and Kalawarnar. I'd add Grace but i haven't properly introduced her yet.
We were back to standard canon for one chapter and will be going straight into Volume 6 which is primarily a different view of things.
Unlike the training chapters, it is also base storyline rather than extra chapters for character development alone.
One thing i wanna say is that i was and still am completely unsure about how i should write as Kiba. I had looked over his view of the Rating Game and i thought this would work for him. Tell me if it doesn't work for him.
Ciao-nya.
