Praezen: I'm back, baby! It's been some time, how're the kids? Did you hear about Jennifer hooking up with Becky's Ex? Me neither. But who cares! We're picking back up on the series! So sit back and enjoy the read you Sinful Angels and Virtuous Devils!

~ 13 ~

This pillow is a lot softer than before. Wonder who changed it? Something I'd classify as a moan came through when sliding my cheek on the surface. It didn't come from me though. I peek through my eyes to see light peach colored skin obstructing my view. Shifting my head slightly elicited another moan. I only got a quick look to see who it was before my head was pulled into the valley between soft mounds. Rias.

We're in a rather stimulating position for a good morning. Laying on my side, right arm wrapped around her waist and the left hand cushioned between her thighs. It twitches to break free but she had other plans with it by squeezing further to preventing escape. I could barely breath from the close proximity of her breasts, and her scent was doing a number on my brain as I glow red from the two. If I don't get out, who knows what will happen. Then again, would it be so bad if it did? I break free gently to her dismay as she wears a sullen expression. Coming up to her neck, I let out a warm breath of air and she shivers at the sensation and hugging tighter while waking up.

"So you're awake now?" I ask.

"I'm sorry. I felt like sleeping while using you as my hugging pillow. I came in after you went to sleep." Rias you've been doing that for the past few days since moving in. I may as well ask you to move in my room. I could, but the girls might follow suit. While thinking this through, she kisses me on the cheek. "So what should we do? I wouldn't mind staying like this until it's time to wake up... Maybe doing something naughty would be a good way to build up my relation with my adorable servant."

"Keep talking like that and we'll be here all day." gruffly commenting on my own arousal. Trailing fingers on her hips then up her waist. She gets on top, now straddling my hips and pressing against me with her entire body. Picked a bad morning to go shirtless when going to sleep.

"Anything that will please you. I'll more than oblige." leaning closer to my ear to set ablaze my urges.

—! Hands reached to her considerable hips, and bucking upwards with my lower body. She places her hand on my chest to steady herself, letting a pant of surprise and blushing afterward. I sit back against the headboard, allowing her to lean forward for...

Knock! Knock!

[Ddraig]: "Dammit!" 'Ddraig, what are you doing?' "What do you think?" 'Living vicariously through me, I'm guessing?'

[Albion]: "I think he got you there Ddraig." 'Is everyone here for the show or something?' "Noctis is sleeping, so it's just the two dragons here."

"Takeo-san? Are you still sleeping?" crap, it's Asia! If she see this who knows where her head will go.

"I'm awake. Give me a minute here, I'll be downstairs!" still in the same position as before, while shouting to the door. Looking back at Rias she had a smile befitting a devil. Before she could say a word, I lock her lips with mine. It was meant to prevent her from speaking up, but a new idea sprang up for the both of us. Stay entangled in each other for as long as we can. My chest heaves for air after breaking from the kiss. "Five minutes, Asia! I'll be down in five!" finally catching my breath.

"Alright, Takeo-san." I hear foot steps leave the front of my door. Whew! Disaster averted. Now on to the culprit. I stare at the trickster pensively and she acts as if doing nothing wrong.

"Five minutes?"

"In two, we have to get downstairs without rousing suspicion" holding below her thighs, I pivot into a 180 and press her on the board where I was previously resting. "Before that; in three, we need to have that bonding moment you talked about." after saying this I move forward to kiss her longingly. She wraps her arms around my neck as she whimpers. Pulling one hand from her legs, I trail up her waist until stopping below at her breast. Moving down to her neck and trail a tongue in circles before She cries out a little louder, grazing her nails on my back.

"You can't make too much noise now." whispering in her ear while massaging her with the occupied hand. She mirrors my action in a similar manner; hand running over my chest, and suckling on my neck. That other hand is getting dangerously low there Rias...

Bang!

"Ricky! I'm home!"

...oh Lucy- I mean Tiamat. Why now of all times?

The two of us froze in place, not sure how to react in this situation. Right now it feels like being caught by your girlfriend's parents in the bed. I didn't think one day this would happen when living with a bunch of girls. I gulp down saliva in fear of what's about to happen. Turning my head slightly, and glancing from the corner of my eye. She was...wearing...a very erotic face, moistening her lips with a lick of the tongue.

"How come I don't get to do that?" Tiamat with that body, why would you ask?. I look at her dubiously. "I'm talking with 'you'." oh...wait what?

[Ddraig]: "Say yes!" I hear Albion sighing deeply. Oh Ddraig.

"Tiamat, I'll be downstairs in a few minutes." backing away from Rias. "Can you not tell anyone about this...?"

"Yeah sure. Though those kiss marks can tell the story." but not the who, when, why, and how. "See you downstairs, ya crazy kids." she steps out and closes the door. Is that skipping? Tiamat skips? Rias and I get off the bed to prep, abashed at the incident. I can tell this day will be fan-tucking-fastic.

"Itadakimasu."

After that steamy debacle. Everyone is sitting at the table. Rias and Asia at my sides. Tiamat across from me. Nevarra and Raynare flanking her. Even if Tiamat's doing a good job hiding it, that grin can trip a lot of alarm bells if it keeps up.

"Takeo, what's with the red marks on the neck?" Raynare asking. How do you lie out of this Takeo?

"Oh that? When I got back, I jumped him and gave him those." my face slams on the table from Tiamat's explanation. Rias had her poker face on, man that's good. Asia and Raynare shouted in shock together.

"...Did you have to be so frank about it?" Raynare spoke with a sweat drop on her head. Asia was stuttering to herself about the indecent act. Rias and Nevarra kept eating calmly. Tiamat just chuckled.

Ever since Rias moved in, the girls behaviors were getting stranger by the day.

Asia's demeanor subtly changed from a former sister that screams 'impure!' to someone saying 'I will also get naked!'. One morning Asia walked in on me without knocking, she saw me along with Rias in bed. Doing nothing I might add, though that didn't stop Asia from jumping the gun and stripping in front of me.

The banter Raynare and I kept up in house, found its way to the school. Not as drastic as what goes on here, but enough to stoke the flames of hatred for me with the guys of the academy.

Things haven't been terribly bad though. Out of the six people that live here, three know how to cook.

Rias is great at cooking a variety of foods ranging from Eastern to Western meals. I'm eating her cooking right now; fried eggs with rice. When she told me she had an interest in anything Japan, her cooking stemmed from that. Living in Japan alone made her self dependent, so she has many skills. Which explains that one time when we were alone in the house the first time. She didn't want anyone saying she can't do those kinds of things because she's royalty.

Her days here, a rivalry erupted between her and Asia. Despite seeing the gap between them, Asia kept learning about Japanese culture. She also excels at studying in a given amount of time. Picking up hiragana and katakana, and learning to read and write kanji right now. Only starting school and already helping others with their own work. Her cooking is up there, given it's her first foray into the field.

"Takeo, there's more. So eat up." Rias hands me a bowl of miso soup. I down a gulp, and grin from how great it was.

Pinch.

Ow. Asia pinched my thigh under the table, looking troubled. I didn't say anything. She looks away in a cute pout. Has my dear daughter entered her rebellious stage?

Ding Dong!

Visitor? …!? It can't be...

I get up from the table and walk to the door with my school bag after cleaning up my plate. No one notices the presence of the two people at the door. Good. Wouldn't want them to freak about an Angel and a Devil together knocking at the entrance. When I reach the door knob, I inhaled deeply and let it out. Creak. A man and a woman stood merrily.

The former. Ash blonde hair trimmed a medium fade on the side, leaving the top little longer spiked naturally forward. Short cut beard framing a warm grin under cerulean eyes. Robust fit structure under a long white cotton shirt with sleeves rolled up, dark gray pants and black shoes.

The later. Black hair ending to her waist. Fringes at the center hovering little over her brow and to the side long enough to touch her cheek bones. Blood red eyes much like the color of her attire. Slim body in good proportions wearing a black and red sleeveless dress ending at her upper thigh, and wearing high heels in the same color to the dress.

"Uncle Lucis and Aunt Raven. It's wonderful to see you two." genuinely smiling and embracing the two in a hug.

"Same to you Takeo." Raven greets while releasing from the hug. "...I see you've been busy." looking behind me. I turn around to see the five girls looking curiously. I've been...? I squint my eyes at my aunt after realizing what she meant.

"It's now what you think." I'm not running a harem even if it looks it. Need to at least be able to fall in love with one girl. One man can only handle so much.

"Hey, I'm calling it how I see it." she nudges me in my arm.

"To think not too long ago, you used to be such a lone wolf. Here you are as an alpha with females." Lucis placing a hand on my shoulder and giving me a thumbs up. Lucis, you're suppose to be an Angel. Act like it. "Oh sis-in-law, they grow up so fast." wiping away a tear in his eye.

"The good ones always do. So nephew, aren't you going to introduced us to your harem?" I sigh and look back at the girls.

"Everyone; this is my Uncle Lucis, my mom's brother. The lady over here is Aunt Raven, dad's sister." gesturing to the two. "My parents passed away while I was with them, and they raised me since. Kohryu took up training with me while I lived life like normal with these two nut jobs." they nod and look at the two. "Also, they know to an extent about what's been happening with us." I kept in touch with them, though I may have forgotten something. I'm not sure what though.

"Uncle Lucis. Aunt Raven. My name is Rias Gremory. Your nephew's senpai and King." Lucis and Raven nod their heads.

"U-Um...my name is Asia Argento." Lucis pats my back approvingly.

"Hello to you two. My name's Raynare." Raven nudge me in the arm slyly.

"Nevarra, his familiar. A pleasure to meet you."

"Tiamat. Nice to meet the relatives of my master." Lucis and Raven gaped at the last introduction. Oh right, that's what I forgot. They pull me into a huddle.

"Takeo. You have some explaining to do. I can understand the first four. But how did you meet Tiamat!?" he whispers panicky.

"Can I tell you all this later? We have classes to go to."

"Oh right forgot about that." she realizes before moving out of the huddle. "Well have fun. We'll be waiting in the house for you." the two take their belongings with them. Giving a shrug to the girls, I wait for Rias, Asia, and Raynare to grab their bags. Nevarra and Tiamat staying behind; hopefully not saying anything excessive.

The four of us walk to school when—

"Oh, I forgot to mention this morning. Today the club members are coming to your house." Rias mentions.

"Hmm? Club meeting in my house? Something happening to the club room?"

"It's about time to clean the whole old school building."

"Alright. Anything planned for the day?"

"Well tell everyone together. Please take care of us, Takeo." Unexpected visit from relatives. Sudden change of venue. What else is next?

~ Time Skip: After School ~

"Auntie Raven, what is that?" eyes twitching, finger pointed at the accursed object in her hand.

"Why it's a photo album of your childhood. So, so many memories~! Gather around girls, you might find something truly interesting." replying cheerfully, beckoning the females over and they sit around her. Lucis took a seat, flipping through an album himself while sipping coffee. "Here's a picture of his first day in grade school."

"Ara ara, so young and already popular with the girls."

"Akeno-san! Raven I'm begging you please stop!" It was suppose to be a regular club meeting. Now its spiraling out of control when my aunt brought a photo album of my memories when we were taking a break.

"...Takeo-senpai's past." Koneko looking curiously at the photos of my life.

"Don't look!" I get on my knees while close to tearing my hair out. There were some things in there I wanted to be rid of. Nothing too embarrassing, but looking back on it now I wanted to slap myself.

"...Small Takeo." Rias it's embarrassing if you stare at a picture of me as a child like...

...Rias why are your cheeks flushed and eyes are sparkling stars. She's muttering something. My name? "...Takeo as a child, Takeo as a child, Takeo as a child, Takeo as a child, Takeo as a child..." ...is...is she a shota-con? She certainly seems satisfied...

"I think I know how Buchou-san feels!" Asia grabs her hand, eyes sparkling as well.

"You as well Asia? I'm so happy." oh dear, the two are now off in their little world. I look away to see Kiba looking at an album while smiling. Shivers ran down me, not the good kind.

"Don't look at my album Kiba!" I chuck an eraser at him and he dodges it, resuming his reading.

"Don't worry about it. Let me enjoy this for a little more."

No! I bashed my head on the ground in vain. I look back up to see him with surprised eyes. I look around him to see what he was staring at. A photo of me and a girl despite the short hair, carried on her father's shoulder. She used to live by my uncle when I went to kindergarten. She moved to somewhere in Europe before starting grade school. Wonder how she's doing. Kiba points at a sword the father has behind him—.

"Do you remember this?" his tone stone cold.

I sigh. "...a Holy Sword." his eyes fill up with hatred. What happened to you back then Kiba?

~ Time Skip: Tomorrow After School ~

Clang! Metal hitting a baseball into the sky. I make a dash for where I would think a good spot for it to land is. Seeing it pulled closer to the ground by gravity. Here! I jump with my gloved arm extended to catch the descending ball, a sound of something hitting the glove to indicate my success.

"Nice! Good catch, Takeo!" Rias giving me a thumbs up. Coming up next week is a ball tournament between clubs. Sounds what it does; play matches like baseball, soccer, basketball, and tennis. It's also split between classes, genders, and some between clubs. Even if you don't play sports, it's club mandatory. So that included us. Right now were practicing for baseball in case that's the game we end up playing as they announce the type of match on the day of.

"If it's baseball, then Koneko will be our fourth batter."

"...Affirmative." she nods. That's natural, so no need to complain.

"Now! We'll practice a knock! Everyone! Put your gloves on and spread out!" sounding in high spirit. Rias looks to be on fire and pumped with energy.

"Ufufu. Buchou likes these kinds of things." Akeno giggles.

"She definitely hates to lose."

"Yep, that's it. Of course, there's no way that we can lose unless we make a mistake." that's a given. As Devils, we're straight up stronger than humans. So we need to hold back some. Normally, it won't be a hard match. On the other hand we had to learn the rules of baseball. Reason for Rias making us practice right now.

"Even if the brain knows, your body has to as well." not learning if not hurting. Be it mind or body. I grin to myself at the saying. "Asia! Here I go!"

CLANG!

She hits the ball to Asia. The ball goes under her legs and she stutters cutely. Sometimes I wonder with her. I took her out to play D.D.R in the arcade and her rhythm is great. Footwork nothing short of an experienced dancer. Yet her sports is below par. She stills trips over nothing.

"Asia! If you fail to catch it, go fetch it!"

"Y-yes!" she runs off for the escaping ball.

Since the incident in the Rating Game, Rias started to show more interest in matches. Even if we won, it was a slim victory. She didn't want to go through the same pain from losing everyone. From almost losing me. Maybe I shouldn't have hidden the fact that I had Albion. If I didn't, then maybe she wouldn't have to bear the trauma...

"Next is Yuuto! Here!" she hits the ball to Kiba. It sails downward to Kiba. He's not moving? It's getting...

SMACK!

...Did he just get hit? Wait a minute...

"Kiba! You alright?" I run up to the downed male and help him up.

"...Aah, sorry. I wasn't paying attention." I'll say. He takes the hand while holding onto the ball. After chucking it back to Rias, she sighed while catching it.

"Yuuto you've been acting rather strange lately. It's not like you."

"I'm sorry." he sincerely apologizes. Ever since I pointed out that sword in the picture Kiba's had this distant look to him. Whatever happened to the cool guy that girls like? Now that I mention them, the sudden change in mood had the girls swooning for him even more. The guys still hate him with a fury as much as they hate me. We take a break for a few minutes of running and batting.

"Hmmmm..." Rias is reading a baseball manual. She has a habit of reading on the spot when stuff comes up.

"Ara ara. Takeo-kun, did you know?" Akeno asking me. I turn to her curiously. "Recently, she's reading a manual on love." ...what?! Love manual!? Seeing the surprised face on me, she started laughing. "Ufufufu. You don't have to worry about it. It's impossible for Buchou to have a lover while you're not around."

"I'd hope so. It would be a crying shame to lose her to another guy..." looking away.

God, what am I saying? Even if she returned the affection, she'll eventually have to find someone else. Someone that may not be me. I said I would keep her safe until she finds that man she can be happy with. And I certainly can't be that man with how I lied and still lying to her. To them.

"If Buchou were in your shoes, she'd be deeply shocked as well. Ufufufu, it's her first time. You'll be in trouble, Takeo-kun." you mean I'm not already? But the way she said that made me wonder. Is Rias returning those advances simply because of her own affectionate nature, or because of something else?

"Okay, continuing!" she swings the bat once more, and training continues.
