Chapter 21: The one I love!
"I'll bring Rias back, no matter what comes in my way." Itachi said with his sharingan spinning around wildly.
"I understand how you feel, but that is probably impossible." Rossweisse said.
"Nothing is impossible, besides there is no other option…" Itachi said.
"The underworld is being attacked openly by the Khaos Brigade. We were attacked again, just yesterday. There are many who fell victim to their attacks. Many families, friends, and lovers are currently filled with sadness. We can't associate ourselves with someone from the Khaos Brigade just to save the relative of a devil king." Sirzechs said with sadness in his voice.
"Though Vali Lucifer is not part of the Old Satan Faction, one small mistake may create discontent among those like Shalba. This is something that affects the peace of the entire underworld." Ajuka said.
Itachi clenched his fist. "Rias is someone important. Someone I treasure very, very much. I understand your position Sirzechs and the current situation among the devils. Therefor this doesn't have to be a matter for you to handle, just say that I'm associated with Khaos Brigade. I don't care what people will think of me, all that matters to me, is that those people that are close to me are safe. I don't care if I'm hated by others as long as Rias is safe, then that's all that matters." Itachi said.
"Itachi-kun…" Sirzechs said.
"I have another solution." Azazel said with a smirk. "Itachi, want to give up being a devil?" Azazel asked.
"Are you being serious?" Rossweisse questioned.
"The Devil King Sirzechs Lucifer knows nothing about this problem. If you guys go all crazy on your own, it's not his problem." Azazel said.
"No, but…" Sirzechs said.
"So I'm saying that if you guys end up creating any problems, I'll take care of you all. So don't worry, Itachi." Azazel said.
"Taking care of us?" Issei questioned.
"In the worst case scenario, I'll have you all become fallen angels." Azazel said.
"What?!" Issei questioned.
"Then I'll be the one responsible as the Governor." Azazel said.
"At the very least, it will quell the discontent in the underworld. But something like that…" Rossweisse said.
"I know it's strange coming from a believer that became a devil, but is that really possible?" Xenovia asked.
"You're a fallen angel because you were previously an angel, so it doesn't make sense for a devil to become a fallen angel." Irina said.
"That's very true." Gasper said.
"Wait! Wait! I'm talking about the worst case scenario. There shouldn't be a problem if you all rescue Rias safely, right?" Azazel said.
"If she's in the Dimensional Gap, she doesn't have much time. Sizechs." Ajuka said.
"Sirechs. I don't care if I'm a devil, fallen angel, angel or human. No matter what the punishment awaits me after I have saved Rias, I will accept it. Please Sirzechs." Itachi said as the rest of the club members even Michael went behind him.
"We are part of Rias Gremory's household." Akeno said.
"We are prepared to give up everything for our master." Kiba said.
"She said she would become my big sister. I cannot leave someone like that to die!" Asia said.
"I promised myself from the day you put me under her care, Sirzechs-sama, that I would protect her with my life." Koneko said.
"She gave me a home." Gasper said.
"I owe Rias buchou for giving me a reason to live on." Xenovia said.
"I have known that girl since she was a baby, I will never let her die. Besides these guys promised me a good fight." Michael said.
"Please, Sirzechs-sama!" Issei said.
Sirzechs looked at their eyes and could see their devotion. "Stop pushing yourself so much, Sirzechs." Azazel said with a smile.
"Please save my little sister." Sirzechs said.
"Yes!" Itachi said.
Later on Itachi and Koneko went to stand outside of the destroyed club room. "Will she come?" Itachi asked.
"She will definitely come if I call for her." Koneko replied as a dark magic circle appeared to which Kuroka exited.
"I didn't expect you to tell me where you are, Shirone. Why the change of heart? Nya." Kuroka asked.
"That's…" Koneko said when Itachi walked up closer to Kuroka.
"I have a favor to ask you." Itachi said.
"Dragon boy?" Kuroka questioned.
Meanwhile back home with the others. "Is it all right to let Itachi-san and Koneko-chan go alone?" Asia asked.
"It's not good to aggravate them by going in a giant group. We're keeping an eye on Itachi's movements. If something happens…" Azazel said.
Akeno made a magic circle on the floor. "We can jump at any time." Akeno said.
"For now, we can only hope that the negotiations will go smoothly." Kiba said.
Back with Itachi and Koneko. "Are you serious?" Kuroka asked.
"Yes, I want Vali's help to enter the Dimensional Gap." Itachi replied.
"I never understand what Vali is thinking, so I don't mind helping you out." Kuroka said.
"Thank you." Itachi said.
"But in exchange, I want Shirone back." Kuroka said shocking Koneko and making Itachi narrowing his eyes. "Why are you surprised? We're enemies. There needs to be a fair trade during negotiations. Shirone. Don't you think so, too?"
"I will not give you Koneko." Itachi said.
"Very well, then we have nothing to…" Kuroka said.
"However, I will let you bear my child." Itachi said shocking Kuroka and Koneko. "That's what you asked last time, and I'm willing to comply with your request as long as you help me."
"R-Really?!" Kuroka asked with a smile.
"No need, we will help you." Vali said exiting a magic circle with Arthur and Bikou.
"You finally got out of hiding." Itachi said.
"Wa-Wait a minute Vali! I know what our plan was! But please let us make this deal!" Kuroka begged.
"Sorry Kuroka, but no if we will make a deal it needs to benefit all of us." Vali said.
"No way!" Kuroka cried.
"Vali since you were listening. Please take us to the Dimensional Gap." Itachi said.
"And what if I refuse?" Vali asked.
"Then I will be forced to use force." Itachi replied.
"Vali let out a chuckle. "Fine. Arthur." Vali said as Arthur made a magic circle pulling out a sword, Koneko went into fighting stance but stopped when Itachi placed his arm in front of her while not taking his eyes off Arthur.
"The Holy Royal Sword Collbrande, passed down through generations of the Pendragon family, has the power to rule over space and cut through dimensions." Arthur said raising the sword.
"Understand this. We'll only take you to the Dimensional Gap. I can't promise that you'll make it back." Vali said.
"Well normally everyone that enters dies." Bikou said.
"I understand." Itachi said.
Koneko pulled on Itachi's sleeve. "Did you know they were here the entire time?" Koneko whispered.
"Yes." Itachi whispered.
"Then why did you suggest that to onee-sama?" Koneko asked.
"I didn't know that they would comply without some sort of trade." Itachi replied.
The rest of the rescue team arrived. "So nine people are going to the Dimensional Gap?" Arthur asked.
"Yes." Itachi replied.
Azazel handed Asia a golden dagger. "What is this?" Asia asked.
"Take it with you. Fafnir should protect you if the need arises." Azazel said.
"Yes. Um…" Asia said.
"It's my fault you were kidnapped by Diodora. Think of this as a small token of my apologies." Azazel said and then he walked over to Vali. "I should honestly thank you here, but my personality is twisted." Azazel said.
"Don't worry. I have no plans of harming them." Vali said.
"In other words, you have another goal in mind." Azazel said to which Vali just let out a small chuckle.
Arthur stabbed the sword in the ground making it let out a huge amount of light. While this happened Rossweisse and Irina were standing on the side lines. "To think we can only pray here for their safety…" Irina said.
"If people like us, who are neither devil nor part of her household, get involved, this problem will escalate beyond the underworld." Rosswisse said.
"But..!" Irina said.
"Because the bond they have built together is strong, they will be sure to return. That is what I believe." Rossweisse said.
Irina looked down for a moment then she looked back up with believe in her eyes. "You're right. I'll believe in them, too." Irina said as they looked at the group.
"Now, then." Arthur said as he lifted his sword and sliced a hole in the air, making a lot of wind blow around them as they vanished in a black light.
"Well, let's go home." Bikou said.
"Right." Kuroka said. 'Baka Shirone.' Kuroka thought with sadness.
The Dimensional Gap
In a place that was filled with nothing more but multiple colors a hole appeared where the rescue group exited while standing inside of by a golden ball of magic power. They looked around in amazement. "So this is the Dimensional Gap." Koneko said.
The ball extended around the Dimensional Gap. "As long as you stay within this field, you will not be swallowed by the nothingness. However this field will only last for one human world hour. Once the limit is reached, you will be forced back into our dimension." Arthur said.
"One hour…" Kiba said.
"Only that long?" Gasper asked.
"I don't know how big the Dimensional Gap is. But is there any guarantee that we will find Rias in this area?" Itachi asked.
"The strength of your heart greatly affects the Dimensional Gap. Make sure you keep your heart strong." Arthur said.
"Hearts?" Issei questioned.
"What do you mean by that?" Akeno asked.
"If I explain, my warning will lose its meaning. This is as far as I can help you. Goodbye." Arthur said as he vanished into a black hole.
"What should we do in a place like this where there's no left or right?!" Xenovia questioned.
"N-Not only left or right! I can't tell what's up or down!" Gasper said.
"The strength of our hearts. I wonder what he meant." Asia said.
"Keep our hearts strong…" Akeno said.
"Akeno-san?" Issei questioned.
"I was thinking about the meaning of what that man named Arthur said." Akeno said.
"Meaning?" Koneko questioned.
"This is a space where the laws of physics don't work. Meaning there is no distance or direction." Michael said
"I see. Perhaps…" Kiba said.
"What is it, Kiba?" Issei asked.
"Rias will definitely come. We'll definitely see her. That's because…" Akeno said.
"Our feelings for her will bring her to us." Kiba said as a black hole opened where Rias exited.
"Buchou?" Issei questioned.
"Rias! Is that you?!" Akeno questioned.
"Rias…" Itachi said.
Rias looked at them with a cold look.
"Rias buchou?" Xenovia questioned.
"Buchou?" Gasper questioned.
"Thank goodness!" Asia said as she was about to fly to Rias but was stopped by Itachi as Rias shoot a ball of destruction at them which Itachi slapped away. "Why?!" Asia questioned.
"Is this an imposter of buchou?" Gasper asked.
"No. That is definitely her." Koneko replied.
"I can tell as well. That is definitely Rias buchou's aura." Kiba said.
"Stupid! There's no way! Buchou wouldn't attack Asia!" Issei said as Rias shoot another orb of destruction at them making them jump away.
"Are you kidding me?!" Issei questioned.
"Is she being controlled?" Xenovia asked.
"She is in a trance, an illusion like magic." Itachi replied as he went up to Rias with his sharingan spinning. Rias shoot an orb of destruction at him, Itachi leaned his head to the side dodging it. "Looks like I can't break her free with my sharingan." Itachi said.
"We need to take her to safety first!" Akeno said.
"Yeah." Michael said.
Everyone readied themselves. "No!" Itachi said. "It's my failure that made her end up in this state, I will deal with it."
"Itachi-senpai…" Issei said.
"No we will deal with this together!" Akeno said.
"We are a part of her peerage, too. We also failed in protecting her, so…" Xenovia said charging at Rias with Kiba.
"So we have to deal with as well, all of us!" Kiba said.
"Guys I…" Itachi said.
"We all decided to come here, so don't try and do everything on your own." Michael said.
Rias shoot an orb of destruction at Kiba and Xenovia who leaped to the side flying behind her. "Rias!" Akeno said sending a wave of lightning and thunder at Rias who blocked it with a magic circle. Gasper then froze Rias in time.
"Koneko! Issei!" Itachi said.
""Yes!"" They both replied when suddenly Rias broke free from the time freeze.
"I can't! I can't stop time!" Gasper said.
"Is it because we're in the Dimensional Gap?" Akeno questioned when she suddenly saw Rias let put a huge amount of magic power. "This is bad! Run!" Akeno said.
"Koneko-chan!" Gasper said as he turned into a pack of bats that took Koneko to safety while Kiba took Issei and Xenovia took Itachi, while Akeno and Asia had some barrier from the golden dagger Azazel gave Asia. As Rias made a larger orb of destruction magic that keept increasing in size.
"A-Akeno-san, what was that light that buchou just released?" Gasper asked.
"It is the reason that Rias is called Ruin Princess." Akeno said.
"Huh?" Issei questioned.
"Until now, her power released any time she experienced a surge of emotion." Itachi said.
"But right now…" Issei said.
"She's showing the opposite." Xenovia said.
"The demonic power of destruction…" Kiba said.
"It seems she can't release her power to its full extent." Akeno said.
"W-With this?!" Issei questioned.
"At full power, there would be no place to hide within this field." Akeno said.
"Rias! I thought you said you would never abandon your servants! Fight it and let's go home!" Itachi said to which Rias twitched her eye a little.
"I knew it." Koneko said.
"Huh?" Gasper questioned.
"Buchou can hear us." Koneko said.
"What did you say!" Xenovia said.
"Rias buchou! Please remember!" Koneko said to which Rias turned her head in Koneko's direction.
"Buchou!" Issei said.
"She's still conscious?!" Akeno questioned.
"I have never forgotten the day you gave me a name!" Koneko said.
"I-I was given a new life! And you accepted me as a part of your peerage, Rias onee-sama!" Asia said.
"If you weren't here, Rias buchou, I would have been hated by everyone and had no place to go. I would have probably died on the streets!" Gasper said.
"When I was dying… When I was filled with hatred… You saved me, twice!" Kiba said.
"Rias buchou!" Xenovia said.
"Remember, Rias! Remember all of our voices! All of our faces!" Akeno said.
"Buchou!" Issei said.
"Come back already!" Michael said.
"Rias!" Itachi said.
A tear ran down Rias's cheek. "Rias?!" Akeno questioned.
"Itachi…" Rias said.
"Rias." Itachi flew towards Rias, when suddenly she began to scream in pain as a red crystal came out of her chest that took the form of Itachi in his dragon rampage mode. But then it merged with Rias covering her body in purple scales, her bat wings spurted out.
"It looks just like Itachi-senpai's dragon rampage mode!" Gasper said.
"How can that be?" Asia questioned.
"She gives the same aura as Itachi-senpai's dragon slayer magic." Koneko said.
Rias charged at Kiba knocking him to the side, then turning her way back to the others shooting a wave of destruction flames. That was absorbed by Itachi who now had some of his bangs turned crimson red, he had black kitty ears sticking out from his head as well as a cat tail on his back, also four wings, two bat wings and two fallen angel wings. Itachi then let out a huge amount of dark red-blue flames with lightning and thunder flickering around him.
"Itachi-kun, please save Rias." Akeno said. "If the Dimensional Gap really responds to our hearts then you're the only one who can save her."
"I-I promise, I don't want to fight her, but… it's the only way to save her." Itachi said. "Here I come, Rias!" As he charged at Rias who charged at him as well, Rias with her fist infused with a destruction flame, while Itachi had his infused with a dark red-blue flame with lightning and thunder flickering around it. As their attacks collided the field around them was destroyed.
"What's going on?" Xenovia questioned.
"The field!" Akeno said.
"The power from their attack is affecting the Dimensional Gap!" Michael said.
Asia suddenly fell through a black hole. "Asia!" Xenovia said going after her with her hand extended, Gasper shortly followed. "Asia!" Xenovia grabbed Asia's hand.
"Asia!" Issei went in after them grabbing her other hand.
"Rias…" Akeno said as she also fell into the black hole.
Michael grabbed Akeno's hand. "Damn it all!" Michael cursed as they were all dragged into the black hole leaving Itachi and Rias in the Dimensional Gap, alone.
Itachi charged at Rias. 'I will not let fear control me… I will save the one I love… No matter what!' Itachi thought as his fist connected with Rias's fist sending shock waves around the Dimensional Gap. Rias shoot a wave of dark red destruction flames. Itachi inhaled his breath.
Blaze meteor dragon: Yokai destruction lighting thunder ROAR!
Itachi let out a large wave of dark red-blue flames with lightning and thunder flickering around it, the two waves collided making a huge explosion. 'Rias… I… love you… I always have and always will.' Itachi thought.
Rias charged at Itachi kicking him in the chin. Then blasted him with a wave of destruction flames making Itachi cough up blood.
Flashback
"Are you Tannin's son?" A young Rias asked.
"Yes I'm Itachi Uchiha I assume your Rias Gremory, it's a pleasure to meet you." A young Itachi replied.
Flashback end
Rias punched and kicked Itachi. Itachi blocked the last punch and stared at Rias while blood ran down from his forehead to his eyes.
Flashback
"So I won't see you for another seven years?" A young Rias asked with her head down.
POKE
A young Itachi poked Rias's forehead making her look up towards him. "Don't worry this isn't goodbye forever, until next time." Itachi said and walked out the door.
"Itachi promise you will attend to kuoh academy with me!" Rias yelled.
"I promise!" Itachi yelled back.
Flashback end
Itachi looked at Rias while blood ran down his mouth. 'Rias.'
Flashback
"Sorry that it took so long." Itachi said to Rias in his crow outfit. As he removed the hood revealing his raven black hair tied into a ponytail, he then removed his mask revealing his face. "Rias."
"Itachi!" Rias exclaimed and ran up to hug him.
"I'm back, Rias." Itachi gently said to the crying Rias. "You've grown to be quite the beautiful woman."
Flashback end
"I've always been afraid that if I said it I would later lose you, but not anymore. I love you Rias." Itachi said with a small smile.
Flashback
"Itachi when you look at me what do you see?" Rias asked.
"Hm, I see my childhood friend Rias who has become quite the beautiful woman." Itachi replied. Rias grew a few tears before embracing Itachi in a hug. Itachi smiled and petted her head. "Just leave it to me, it will be alright I promise."
Flashback end
"I should have said that long ago." Itachi said as he blocked several punches from Rias. Rias leaped back and shoot a wave of destruction flames, which Itachi absorbed. Itachi remembered their first kiss after the Rating Game with Riser. Itachi remembered several scenes where he would poke Rias's forehead, the times when she would get angry, the times she would get happy. "I will not lose you."
Rias grabbed Itachi by the throat when he suddenly turned into a bunch of crows. "I will not let Loki take you away!" Itachi said as he appeared behind Rias, she turned around to be embraced by Itachi. "Rias!"
The scales around Rias vanished as she returned to normal and the red crystal got thrown out of her. "Itachi! Thank you, Itachi. My Itachi…" Rias said as she wrapped her arms around Itachi.
"Rias…" Itachi said with a smile then he gained a serious expression seeing as the crystal turned into the fake version of himself. "You're not just a fake, are you?" Itachi asked.
"Very observant, as always. Uchiha Itachi." The fake said in Loki's voice.
"That voice… Loki." Rias said.
The fake Itachi grew purple scales, his hands turned into dragon claws, he grew a dragon's tail, and dragon wings. While flames erupted around him covering him, as the shadow of him grew larger, when the flames cleared he looked like Tannin.
"Transformation!" Rias said.
Meanwhile back with the others. "Thank goodness you all are safe. I was so surprised when you all suddenly popped out." Irina said.
"But Rias buchou and Itachi-senpai are still…" Xenovia said.
"As I thought, Loki must have taken some fragment from Itachi's transformation." Azazel said.
"So the enemy is a copy of himself." Kiba said.
"Not exactly." Azazel said.
"What do you mean?" Issei asked.
"The body and the power, are all Itachi. But his mind is Loki's." Azazel replied.
"Does that mean what I think it means?" Michael asked.
"Yeah, Loki transferred a piece of himself in that fragment, so Itachi isn't fighting himself his fighting Loki." Azazel said.
"Do you think Itachi-senpai can beat him?" Kiba asked.
"I don't know. But all we can do is believe in him. Believe in his true strength." Azazel said.
"Let us pray for now." Rossweisse said.
"Yes." Irina said.
'Rias buchou. Itachi-senpai.' Xenovia thought.
'I know you will.' Koneko thought.
'Come back to us.' Akeno thought.
Back with Itachi and Rias. Loki let out a roar and spitted out a wave of flames, to which Itachi grabbed Rias and dodged.
"Ha ha, this is amazing I have never felt so powerful!" Loki said.
'If Loki used the feelings in my heart to grow in power, then all I have to do is remove does doubts from my mind.' Itachi thought and looked at Rias. "Rias, I promise that I will always protect you, no matter what. So stay the strong woman I have always known." Itachi said and gently pushed Rias away from their embrace and flew towards Loki.
"With this I will achieve my goal! With your fear I will grow stronger!" Loki shouted as he saw Itachi.
"I'm not afraid Loki." Itachi said.
"What, impossible. You fear to get to close to anyone, in case you will lose them! That's a fear you will never get rid of!" Loki said.
"True, but the love I have for everyone overcomes that fear, and I realized a mistake I have made more than once but no more. Never do anything on your own or your bound to fail. And I will never fail because I'm never alone. Your terror over us ends now." Itachi said as he let out a huge amount of red-blue flames with lightning and thunder flickering around him.
"You will not stop me, after all these are your flames you can't absorb them!" Loki said as he let out a large wave of flames at Itachi.
"I will always be there to protect Rias and the others. Just like I will always be there to stop people like you!" Itachi said.
Blaze meteor dragon: Yokai destruction lightning kings ROAR!
Itachi released a huge wave of red-blue flames with lightning flickering around it that overpowered Loki's and devoured Loki slowly burning his body away. "No! Not again! Damn you! Damn you!" Loki shouted as he was blown to bits.
"Rias." Itachi said.
"Itachi." Rias responded as they were suddenly the field started to change. "What's going on?" Rias asked.
"It seems like we were swallowed up by the vortex of the dimension." Itachi replied as they seemed to fall down to the bottom of the ocean, when they were suddenly swallowed up by a light and ended up back in the Dimensional Gap, when suddenly a hole opened up where Great Red exited. "Great Red." Itachi said.
"Dragon of Dragons." Rias said.
Great Red suddenly opened another hole that took Itachi and Rias in a bright light.
Rias opened her eyes seeing that they were on some beach with the sky looking like it was the universe itself with several colors and shooting stars. "Where are we?" Rias asked.
"No idea. Before I realized it, we were here." Itachi replied.
"I see." Rias said then saw Itachi's injury's, she gently placed her hands on his cheek. "You got injured again, I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about it, I've suffered worse. As long as your safe, that's all that matters to me." Itachi said. Rias got up and walked into the water. "Rias?"
"I don't want you just for myself or anything. I've never thought so. But I wanted you just to show a little more affection towards me. It was a small desire." Rias said when she suddenly felt Itachi's hand on her chin, she then felt Itachi's lips press against her forehead kissing her. She gained a small blush.
"I love you, Rias Gremory." Itachi said.
Tears formed in Rias's eyes as they brought their faces closer to each other, and kissed.
Time skip
Itachi and Rias arrived to the others back outside of the old-school building. "Your back!" Issei said.
"Welcome home." Akeno said to Rias with her normal smile.
"Akeno." Rias said.
"We defeated the fake version of me, but my memory is a little hazy after that." Itachi said.
"You defeated him, as expected of Itachi-senpai and buchou!" Xenovia said.
"My memory is a little hazy as well." Rias said then turned around to look at their destroyed club room. "What happened here?"
"Buchou…" Gasper said with tears forming in his eyes.
"I'm just glad that you are safe." Koneko said.
"Koneko. Gasper." Rias said and embraced them in a hug.
"I couldn't help thinking that maybe you wouldn't come back!" Gasper cried.
"Yuuto." Rias said.
"Welcome home, buchou." Kiba said.
"I can't believe they made it back from the Dimensional Gap." Azazel said standing in the side lines with Vali.
"I was able to see something interesting." Vali said.
"Did you plan on Itachi encountering Great Red?" Azazel asked.
"Who knows." Vali said as he vanished in a magic circle.
"Jeez." Azazel said.
Meanwhile in the underworld with Sirzechs and Graifya. "Azazel just contacted me. It seems Rias returned safely." Sirzechs.
"Is that so?" Graifya said.
"Itachi-kun. It seems I owe him a great favor." Sirzechs said.
"No, you know he would never think of it that way." Graifya said.
Time skip
Itachi woke up with Rias's breast pushed up against his face, Koneko laying on his stomach, and Xenovia hugging his left side. "Back to this again." Itachi said.
"Good morning, Itachi." Rias said pushing his head further between her breasts.
"Good morning, Rias." Itachi said.
Rias let go of Itachi and got up. "It seems I've caused a lot of trouble for everyone."
"Don't blame yourself to much." Itachi said with a smile.
They went out on the balcony. "I remember some of it. I don't remember the details, but I remember the warmth. That feeling is still lingering deep inside my chest. What about you?" Rias asked.
"I remember some of it as well." Itachi replied.
"I see. Like what?" Rias asked.
"Oh nothing much, I remember a beach, telling you that I love you, and kissing you." Itachi said walking away.
"Wait what?!" Rias questioned with a blush.
"Later." Itachi waved.
"Hey, wait a minute! Get back here!" Rias said following him.
Time skip
Everyone was gathered at the front door welcoming Issei's parents back home. "Welcome home, tou-san! Kaa-san!" Issei said.
"Welcome home." Itachi said.
"It was a surprise that Rias-san's relatives owned a travel agency…" Issei's father said.
"And that they would give us a trip around the world as a present!" Issei's mother said. "Welcome, Irina-chan!"
"Welcome home. Oto-sama! Oka-sama!" Asia said.
"Asia-chan!" Issei's mother said.
"Oh, Asia-chan! We were so lonely without you." Issei's father said.
"No way." Asia said with a small blush.
"It's true. We started a habit of saying, "I wonder how Asia-chan is doing?"" Issei's mother said.
"As you can see, I am doing well. This is all thanks to Issei-san and the others. Really." Asia said almost about to cry.
"It's not something to cry about." Issei's father said.
"Goodness, you're taking us too seriously!" Issei's mother said.
"I'm sorry!" Asia said.
"It's like Asia is their real daughter." Rias said.
"That's for sure." Itachi said.
"My place as son just continues to disappear." Issei said.
"Well, that's because Asia-chan is much cuter!" Issei's mother said.
"I wish Asia-chan was really our daughter." Issei's father said.
"I-I don't know my real parents, so I'm happy to hear those words." Asia said with a small blush.
"You can thinkof us as your real parents, you know?" Issei's mother said.
"Oto-san. Oka-san." Asia said.
"That's true. Everyone here is your comrades, friends and family." Issei said.
"That's right." Rias said.
"Rias-onee-sama…" Asia said.
"Well when Issei marries Asia she will really become their daughter." Michael said.
"Hey!" Issei said.
""Right! Right!"" Issei's mother and father said.
"With that, I have something to ask you." Rias said.
Everyone moved on to the living room were Rossweisse was. "Nice to meet you." Rossweisse said to the shocked parents.
"This person is Rossweisse-san. Um…" Issei said.
"She is a teacher at Kuoh Academy that took Michael-senpai's place, she hopes to lodge here." Rias said.
"I have already given my permission for her to live here, considering this is half my house. However, we need to know your opinions too on this matter, considering you also own half." Itachi said.
"Um…sure." Issei's father said.
Time skip the clubroom
"And so, here are some benefits if you come to the underworld." Rias said showing Rossweisse some paper.
"No way! The insurance premium is so cheap! And this one isn't a term life insurance plan! These terms are all better than Valhalla!" Rossweisse said.
"Right?" Rias said.
"She looks just like a skilled insurance lady." Itachi said.
"Yeah." Issei said.
"She's buying a Valkyrie." Kiba said.
"So this is what they call the whispers of a devil. I can learn a lot from her." Xenovia said to which Irina laughed nervously and Akeno chuckled.
Rias brought out a rook piece. "And so, why not become a part of my household and work for the underworld?" Rias asked.
"I figured as much." Itachi said.
"You're going to make Rossweisse-san a demon of your household?" Irina questioned.
"I believe your power will be useful as long range attacks." Rias said as Rossweisse took the piece.
"Perhaps it was already decided that things would turn out like this from the moment I met all of you in the underworld." Rossweisse said as the piece merged with her and a pair of bat wing spurted out from her back. "Due to the financial strength of the Gremory family, as well as the excellent underworld health insurance and pension plans, I feel like my future is secure and have decided to become a devil. Everyone, please take care of me from now on." Rossweisse said and bowed.
"And so, Rossweisse has become the rook of Rias Gremory." Rias said.
Itachi clapped his hands with a deadpan face.
"I feel like the decision was made really lightheartedly…" Irina said.
"I think that's fine it was similar in my case as well." Xenovia said.
"So you finally have all your pieces." Azazel said sitting in Rias's chair.
"Sensei!" Issei said.
"You're sitting in my chair without permission again!" Rias said.
"The Gremory household will face real challenges head-on now." Azazel said.
"Yes. You're right." Rias said.
"You have a good glint in your eyes now. A lot of things happened, but it looks like it wasn't for nothing." Azazel said.
Time skip
"I am your new teacher for civics class, Rossweisse." Rossweisse said.
"Woah!" A male student said.
"A platinum-haired babe appeared! It looks like the age of older women has arrived!" Another one said.
"She really is popular already." Itachi said.
"I am inexperienced, but please take care of me." Rossweisse said.
Later on the school sport festival began, with Irina racing Xenovia, Koneko and Gasper with the bread eating race. "Next is the three-legged race. All runners, please gather at the start line." An announcer said.
"Let's go, Asia." Issei said.
"Yes, Issei-san." Asia said.
Rossweisse shoot the start gun and the race began. ""One-two! One-two! One-two! One-two!"" Issei and Asia chanted.
"Issei! Asia! Take first place!" Rias cheered.
"Good luck!" Itachi cheered.
"Go for first!" Kiba cheered.
"You two will be able to do it!" Akeno cheered.
"Move that lazy ass of yours Hyoudou! Move! Move!" Michael screamed.
"Issei! Asia! Go!" Xenovia cheered.
"Try your best you two!" Irina cheered.
"Issei-senpai! Asia-senpai! Gasper cheered.
"Please try your best." Koneko cheered.
"I won't allow a loss!" Azazel said.
""One-two! One-two! One-two! One-two! One-two! One-two!"" Issei and Asia chanted.
"All right!" Issei cheered when they crossed the finish line and won.
Everyone cheered. Itachi grabbed Rias's hand and looked at her with a smile which she returned with a smile.
Later back at the clubroom Rias was sorting some documents when Itachi entered the door. "Itachi?" Rias questioned. "What are you still doing here, everyone else has left."
"That curse Loki placed on us, was growing stronger on a very deep hidden emotion in our hearts, mine was fear." Itachi said.
"Fear? Of what?" Rias asked.
"Of getting to close to anyone in case I would lose them like I lost my family. However, I'm not scared anymore." Itachi said and grabbed a hold of Rias's hand.
"Itachi?" Rias questioned.
"I told you this back in the Dimensional Gap, although you probably don't remember. I love you Rias Gremory, I always have, and always will." Itachi said.
"Really?" Rias asked with hopes in her eyes.
"Really." Itachi replied.
Rias leaped in and hugged Itachi. "Itachi! I love you, too!"
And that's the end.
I have an announcement, I will take a short break from this story. If the rumors I have heard is true and the next season of dxd will air on march 2017, I will take a break until then, if it does not air I will read the novels and make the next chapter then, or maybe just wait until the next season actually airs (it will depend on how much time I will have to work on it, if school doesn't get in the way too much). However, I have decided also that in the mean time I will write all the OVA and specials from dxd, I will post them as a separate story from this one. Of course, since Itachi will be in these OVA and specials there are some I will not include, such as the episode where Issei gets taken over by a mummy, considering Itachi will just use his sharingan on the mummy and it will end. I will post these special's and OVA in the same story where I posted the Christmas special, I will rename the title "DXD sharingan dragon slayer specials & OVA's". I will also put some focus into "From Ninja to Saiyan" and I will also work on my upcoming story "The Demon Eyes of Fairy Tail"
Anyway, give me your opinion on how this chapter was. And as always leave a review!
-Later!
