ok i was just so pleased last night and this morning seeing all my new followers and favs i just had to post a new chapter to reply to all these reviews and just to clarify on a few points.

also the view counts on my last two chapters seem off, i think some my have skipped chapter 6 and went on to 6.5 you may want to check and see if you were one.

fikataa90: two comments from you thanks for all the attention lol, ok yes i want to give issei some girls as well mainly im trying to keep issei in and not have the story revolve around my OC as the two of them are best buds, and thanks for the recommendations, as for rossweisse, im still trying to get a grip on her character, ive read about her in the light novel series but i'll wait till the character is more solid in the anime before i make a final decision about her.

Aye-Sir: thanks for the indepts review its nice to hear someone appreciates all the work i put into my fiction. ive been a big fan of both the anime DxD and Naruto so i already knew most of what i was writing about. as for kenta's power levels i havent made him that OP just yet, true he did kick ass in those last two chapters but he did just spend a week of mental training with a dragon god, so he had to have something to show for it. ive definitely got alot more planned for kenta in the future chapters. ive already went over his past a few chapters ago when i explained about his brother and parents, but there is a lot more behind that than what meets the eye, i hope you continue to enjoy as my character develops =)

Max: thanks for the recommendations, not so sure bout la fay, but i will think about it

Ironwolffy: its good to see someone in my line of thinking for kenta, and thanks for the issei suggestions

Robyhood13: sorry but Rias will not be moving, i had a poll running for 2 weeks to chose where she and koneko went and i dont want to change it after all those people voted for it, as for roseweiss, im still trying to get a good grip on her character, maybe i will put her and kenta together, but for now she's with issei.

ok that's all back to the story.

Kentas' POV

'Ok I should have seen this coming'

After yesterday's events, Akeno and Koneko announced that they wanted to move in with me, apparently for protection reasons. I had no objects, so now I'm lying in my bed, pinned by a gorgeous beauty and incredible cutie.

Even though I gave them both their own rooms, they both snuck into my bed in the middle of the night. Koneko, thank Maou is wearing a pair of light blue pyjamas with little pink cat paws all over it, but Akeno is completely in the nude.

'Well I can't say you didn't warn me'

{No I gave you all the information in that training session, I told you how, women would be drawn to you and how other men would want to fight you}

'Yep and so far I'm enjoying the women part, no fights so far, but something is telling me they're not far off.'

{It won't be long before your friend Issei will be having the same luck as you}

'What are you on about?'

{I've sensed some weak dragon energy form his sacred gear, it's yet to awaken fully yet like your but, there is something familiar about its energy}

'Did you perhaps know the dragon that's in it?'

{Hard to say so many dragons have been trapped in sacred gears over the years, but it does feel familiar, perhaps I'm just imagining it}

'Yea maybe you're just going senile in your old age, you have been floating around for millennia'

{Watch it runt}

'I'm just messing with ya. Hey what did ya mean by "it's yet to awaken fully yet like mine" so that glove isn't the final stage of my sacred gear'

{No it has one more stage as you put it}

'How do I access it?'

{It will appear when you need it, it can't be forced.}

'Ok got it'

I took in a breath as Koneko snuggled closer

"….warm senpai"

'Dam she's too cute'

"Ara ara, are you getting flustered Kenta-kun"

I look to my other side to find Akeno coming closer, with a big grin.

"Morning, Akeno, can I ask why you're naked"

"I get it from Rias, I never like sleeping with clothes on"

'Something is telling me life is going to be a lot more like this later on'

"Hey Kenta-kun how about we have a bit of fun before Koneko wakes up"

I smirked as I let my hand glide over Akenos thigh as I watch her writhe in anticipation.

"While that seems fun"

*smack*

I bring my hand down on her bare butt cheeks with a smile, as she lets out a moan, I then grab both her butt cheeks and give them a squeeze.

"I'm afraid this is all we will have time for this morning"

I gestured to Koneko, as a sliver of her eyes quickly tightened again, "enjoying the little tease show Koneko"

"…perverted senpai"

"Excuse me I'm not the one who's pretending to be asleep, while I watch others have a bit of foreplay"

Her cheeks blushed, 'well I never thought I'd see the day, when the stoic Koneko actually blushes.' I grin and slip out of the bed.

"I'm heading down to meditate before I go for a shower, so I'd suggest you two take this time to get showered and dressed before breakfast, and we leave for school"

I head for the door.

"Oh Kenta, Buchou asked me to tell you to come by the club room early this morning, she has some questions for you"

"Regarding?"

"She didn't say"

'Interesting' "ha, ok"

Twenty minutes later dojo

I open my eyes after a twenty hour training session in my mind with Ehecatl, I grab the litter bottle of ice water beside me a chug it in one go, panting as I put it down.

{that was intense partner, you keep on getting stronger and these training sessions are really helping, but you should lighten up a bit, you put in five hours last night before you went to bed, and now twenty this morning, your nearly putting in sixty training hours a day, you'll run yourself ragged at this rate, what's with all the extra training}

"With the way things are progressing, I may end up facing him sooner than anticipated, I have to be prepared, for when I finally do come face to face with him again"

{But why would he come back now after all those years away}

"For the same reason he killed our parents, power"

An hour later club room

"You asked for me, Rias

I spoke as I entered the room

"Yes, Kenta, I was wanting to ask you a question"

"Such as?"

"I don't want to dance around the subject so I'm just going to come right out and say it, what's your brother's name?"

That brought me back a bit, 'why? Why is she asking for my brother's name?'

"Why would you want to know that?"

"Because, I want to help you find closure. Facing your brother seems to be the fastest way of doing that, so I'm going to track him down for you."

"Don't!"

"Why not I would have though you'd want to face him again.

"I thought you were just playing dumb last night because I didn't think this level of stupidity existed. Were you not listening to me the other day when I told you how my parents died? He killed them, in order to awaken his Mangekyō Sharingan. Were you not listening to what I was saying when I said "a single Mangekyō Sharingan user can single handily level an entire city by themselves"?" My brother has had his Mangekyō Sharingan active for seven years. That's seven years he's had to refine his skills and perfect his abilities, Mangekyō Sharingan when activated is extremely powerful, but after seven years his power will be nearly limitless, and you want to find him, are you insane!?"

I then went for the door, grabbing the handle, I closed my eyes and took a breath. Rias stood there in shock at my outburst.

"I'm sorry for yelling, but there is no way I can face him right now. No one can, right now I'm just too weak. I'll find him myself when I think I'm ready, so please don't get involved, I would honestly hate to see him hurt more people who I care for."

I turned to back to her.

"Also I'm not going to apologize for what I said last night, I don't take back my words ever, but I will add something to them, "I am not your little bitch for you to boss around"… I'm your friend, who you should have faith in to get the job done, I may not be strong enough to face my brother, but a few fallen angles are a different story"

"Sorry for slapping you, I was just so angry, and your words hurt"

"That's because they were how I felt and how I still feel, we left an ally behind, and that doesn't sit well with me, and it shouldn't sit well with you, if it does then I'm following the wrong king"

I opened the door and walked out, once outside the building Ehecatl spoke up.

{Don't you think that was a bit harsh? She was only looking out for her people. And would her finding your brother really be that bad}

"I always speak my mind and its normally the truth, she needs to have more faith in me and as for her help with my brother I don't need it, she would only get herself killed, besides he'll come soon enough, and then I will end him"

{So you're protecting her and them}

"Of course none of them would stand a chance against him, it would be like calling a butcher to a slaughter house, a bloodbath"

Later during class

I'm sitting at my desk, with one earphone in and my eyes shut, thinking about multiple scenarios for the future, when I'm snapped out of my thoughts when Yumi whispers to me.

"Kenta"

"What's up?"

"You know why Issei isn't in class"

I turned my head, to glance at Isseis' seat, it was empty like she said. I hadn't even noticed Rias' question earlier had me withdrawn I wasn't even paying attention to anything else.

"Not a clue"

"Hey what's with you? You seem out of it today?"

"Just got a lot on my mind"

"Want to share"

"Just Rias trying too hard to help, and not thinking about consequences about getting involved"

"Care to elaborate"

"She wanted to help track down my brother"

"So what's wrong with that, I would have thought…"

"What's wrong is that she's an "amateur hunter" and she heading after "deadly game", if my brother got wind of someone trying to find him, it would cause him to find the person who is looking for him, thus leading him back here. I'm not foolish enough to go looking for him, because I know I can't beat him yet, but when I am I will find him and face him on my own. And then I will end him"

Yumi just sat there with a stoic face on her, as if she under stood the pain I felt and understood why I must go down this path alone.

I just put my other earphone in a closed my eyes for the rest of the class.

End of school day club room

I opened up the door and entered along with Yumi, only to be greeted by a familiar and painful sound.

*SLAP!*

A sound echoes in the club room. The sound came from Isseis cheek.

'Dam she's slapping everyone these days, first me now Issei, what did he do to piss her off.'

"How many times do I have to repeat myself? No is no. I can't allow you to save that Sister."

'Great she's still on that, I would have thought my little speech this morning would have made her realize '

"Then I will go by myself. I'm worried about the ritual thing. The Fallen Angels are doing something from behind the scenes. There's no guarantee of Asia's safety."

' "ritual" I don't know what you're on about Issei but ill back you up if it comes to that, I don't leave allies behind'

"Are you really that stupid? You will definitely be killed if you go. You won't be able to come back to life anymore. Do you understand?"

Rias tries to talk calmly, but she is talking to Issei as if she is warning him.

'What are you planning rias?'

"Your actions will affect not only me but also the other members! You are a Devil of the Gremory group! You need to be aware of that!"

"Then let me out of this group. I'll go there as an individual."

"I can't do that! Why don't you understand?"

'She's trying to do something I just don't know what'

I may have known her less than a week, but I think it's the first time I've seen Rias this enraged.

'I understand, where rias is coming from but there are certain things a guy just can't back down from, this is one of them'

"I became friends with Asia Argento. Asia is my important friend. I won't abandon my friend!"

"…That's a wonderful thing. I think it's amazing if you can say that face to face. But that is different than what we are talking about now. The relationship between a Devil and a Fallen Angel is not as simple as you think. The two sides have been glaring at each other for hundreds and thousands of years. If you show them a single gap of weakness, they will come and kill us. They are our enemy."

"Wasn't blowing away the enemy the Gremory's way of doing things?"

'Ouch that one had to sting, I never knew you had it in you Issei

Now these two are glaring daggers at each other, like ones about to take a swing, the air is getting thick with tension.

"That girl was originally from God's side. She is a person that we cannot ever coexist with. Even if she went with the Fallen Angels, it doesn't change the fact that she is still the enemy of us Devils."

"Asia isn't our enemy!"

'A kind girl like her can't be our enemy.'

"Even if she isn't, she has nothing to do with us. Ise, you have to forget about her."

'Even if she says it like that, there's no way he'll forget about her, nor will I'

Then Akeno-san comes and whispers into Rias's ear.

'Ok what's up? Did something happen? Akeno also has a serious expression. But it looks like it isn't because of Rias and Isseis discussion.'

Rias, who is listening to Akeno, makes a serious face.

'Just as I thought, something definitely happened.'

Rias looks at Issei, and then looks at the rest of us.

"I've got an urgent thing to do now. Akeno and I will go out for a bit."

'What could have happened that would drag you away so suddenly'

"B-Buchou! I haven't finished talking—" Rias put her index finger on Isseis lips.

'That's one way to shut a guy up'

"Ise, there are a couple of things I need to tell you. First one. You think that a [Pawn] is a weak piece, right? Am I right?"

He nod quietly to her question. 'What an idiot'

"That's a big misunderstanding. [Pawn] has a special ability that no other pieces have. That ability is the [Promotion]."

'Promotion, like in the actual chess game, that would have been handy to know'

"Just like the actual chess game, [Pawn] can change into other classes if they reach the opponent's base. They are able to promote to any other piece besides the [King] piece. Ise, Kenta when you two step foot in the location I acknowledge as "Enemy's base", such as the church, you are able to change into any piece besides the [King]."

'Oh man! So I can promote to Yumi's [Knight] class, Koneko [Rook] class, and also even Akeno [Queen] class!? Pawns rule'

"Since it hasn't been that long since you two became a Devil, there are restrictions, so it's probably still impossible for you to be promoted to the ultimate piece, a [Queen]. But you could change to other classes. If you wish strongly for [Promotion] within your heart, then there will be a change in your ability."

'So this is your plan. Very cleaver Rias, I misjudged you and I owe you another apology, looks like I'm following the right king after all'

"Also one more thing. It's about the Sacred Gear. When you use your Sacred Gear, just remember this." Rias starts to stroke Isseis cheek with her hand. "—Desire. Sacred Gear is driven with the power of desire. And it also determines the power for it as well. Even though you are a Devil, your will to desire hasn't been lost. The stronger you desire, the stronger your Sacred Gear will respond to you."

'Desire, that true Ehecatl'

{It is if the power of desire is strong enough it will activate the Sacred Gear fully}

'So if I strongly wish for it, this will activate'

"There's one last thing you should never forget, Ise. Even a [Pawn] can take down the [King]. This is basic in chess. This truth also applies for the Devils' chess pieces. You can become stronger."

After saying that, she along with Akeno leave the room. As she passes me, I whisper to her.

"Well played"

She flashes me a grin and continues on her way. The only ones left are me, Issei, Yumi, and Koneko.

I look to Issei. After he take a deep breath, he had a determined look on his face as he went to the door to go and was about to leave.

"ISSEI"

Yumi calls him.

"Are you going?"

"Yeah, I am. I have to go. Asia is my friend after all. I'm the one who has to save her."

"…You will get killed. Even if you have the Sacred Gear, and even if you use [Promotion], you can't take down a group of Exorcists and Fallen Angels by yourself."

'Logical answer as always Koneko'

"Even so, I'm going. Even if I die, I will set Asia free."

"Good determination, that's what I would like to say but it's still reckless." I say walking over

"Then what am I supposed to do!" He shouts at me, I grin back.

"I'm going too."

"Wha…"

He's lost for words after hearing something that. 'What did he expect me just to sit around and let him get killed?'

"She saved my skin as much as yours, I don't like leaving allies behind, and I don't like owing a dept."

"I'm coming also, I don't know much about Asia-san, but you are my comrade. Even though Buchou said that, there's a part of me that respects your decision. Also, I personally don't like Fallen Angels and priests. I detest them."

'Yumi too…she's probably has some kind of past as well. I'll have to ask her about it if we survive this. But to hear the word "comrade" from her… didn't she think of him as just a pervert not too long ago'

"Remember what Rias said? "When you step foot in the location I acknowledge as "Enemy's base", such as the church, you are able to change into any piece besides the [King]". So isn't she indirectly telling us that "I acknowledge that the Church is the location where the enemy of Rias Gremory is"?"

"Ah."

'He finally realized it, Issei you are a dumb ass some time'

"Buchou indirectly approved you to go. Of course, I think she also means that I should support you as well. Buchou may have some kind of plan. If not, she would have stopped you by locking you up somewhere." Yumi laughs.

'Yea my thoughts exactly'

"…I'm going as well."

"Wha-, Koneko too?"

"…I feel uneasy for only having you three go."

"I'm touched! Right now, I'm so deeply touched, Koneko!" Issei smiles.

"H-Huh? And what are we chopped liver" Yumi puts on a sad smile. And I shake my head

"Yea thanks you two"

"Right let's get a move on we've got a friend to save"

Like this, the four of us headed towards the Church.

{Finally some action I was getting sick of all the talking, go all out partner}
