Author Note: Because of a certain reviewer educating me on the Japanese School structure and it keeps imposing itself on my vision of the story I am going to share these notes now. Kuoh Academy will be an escalator school incorporating Junior High and High School. That's a total of six years. Now one could just list them as years one through six, but there is a well known stigma attached to the number four in Japanese culture. So classes will be denoted in ascending order J1, J2, J3, 1, 2, 3. Due to extra time I want to spend with arcs before Rias and Akeno graduate I am moving when Issei was killed. I am also following Japanese School Schedule… sorta… Kouh is a year round school with special hours as well. Classes start in April and run to July, September to December, and then January and February. Class hours are 8AM to 6PM, with the students having some breaks in the day to complete schoolwork. The Cafeteria is open 6AM to 8PM for staff or students.
Rias Gremory Age 17 Class 2A
Akeno Himejima Age 17 Class 2A
Xander Hyoudou Age 16(25) Class 1C
Kiba Yuuto Age 16 Class 1B
Koneko Toujou Age 14 Class J3A (Yes there is a reason for me to go that young with her)

Don't make a Habit of it.

"But I already graduated once!" Xander was not whining. He was merely giving voice to his displeasure at being forced back into school. He had just returned from his patrol with the bag full of goodies when Rias announced he was successfully enrolled at school as a first year.

"Of a fictional school." Rias countered, "I don't doubt you have your High School Diploma, but everyone will think it's a fake. As it was Hermes had to have a false transcript written for you."

"But I blew up Sunnydale High… twice," Xander countered, "No respectable school would take me if they knew that."

"Well, it's a good thing nobody will tell them that, isn't it?" Rias smirked as she handed Xander his class schedule, "Not that many would believe you. There is no Sunnydale on the map and if you spoke about your misadventures people would think you were suffering delusions and then you'd be placed in the Psych-Ward. I much prefer having my precious servant enjoying his freedom."

"Yeah, some freedom, I'm your slave" Xander muttered under his breath, but quickly changed back to protesting his enrollment, "Couldn't I just get a job. I'm a master carpenter."

There was a flash of hurt in Rias' eye, but it was gone just as quickly, "You may be mentally twenty five, Xander-san, but physically you are seventeen and according to the law you are sixteen. No construction company in Japan would hire you for fear of losing their licenses. There is also the fact you graduated in nineteen ninety nine, it is currently twenty twenty. Your education could use some updating."

"I could… I am not going to win this argument at all, am I?" Xander asked as he looked to the others for confirmation. Seeing them all shake their head, Xander slumped his shoulders in defeat, "High School just sucked so badly last time and I was a normal human."

"I seriously doubt you were normal for a human, Xander-kun, ufufufu," Akeno covered her mouth as she gave a ladylike laugh. Seeing the slight hurt expression on his face, she did feel badly he took it the wrong way.

"Xander-senpai is going to be as popular as Kiba-senpai," Koneko said in between bites of her truffles, "As long as he is not as perverted as Issei-senpai."

Kiba's lips curled into the hint of a smile. He did like being well liked at the Academy, but at times it could be stifling. 'Perhaps my locker will not be stuffed full of panties as often.'

Xander glanced at Kiba and did a few quick calculations based on what he knew of teenage girls. 'I am not as handsome, but that's evened out by the eye-patch. I'm not quite as physically fit yet, but I'm also much bigger. Kiba exudes that Prince Charming aura, and I'm the lovable goofball with a hint of danger.' He was mentally tallying everything up, "Awww crap!"

"That is an excellent point, Koneko-chan," Rias smirked, "That will make things a lot easier. Issei was drawing attention to the ORC because despite having a heart of gold, he was part of the group that most girls did not associate with if they could help it. Thus him being close proximity to 3 of the five most popular girls in the entire school was gossip worthy."

"Ah yes, the Perverted Trio, now just a duo," Akeno placed finger to chin in thought, "Unfortunately you will be in the same class. If Koneko-chan's prediction is accurate, they'll attempt to make your life difficult." As she pictured the likely outcome of that confrontation, Akeno's face lit up in sadistic glee, "Won't they be in for a painful surprise, ufufufufu."

"See, Akeno knows that I could be a danger to the students," Xander knew he was grasping at straws. Dropping to his knees with hands clasped together he began to beg in earnest, "Please, Buchou, I'll do anything."

"Even give up Twinkies?" Rias arched an eyebrow as she asked that very loaded question. Gasper had told her one of Xander's biggest weaknesses.

"You're despicable," Xander's impression of Daffy Duck was spot on as he got back to his feet, "Fine, but I expect treats for good grades."

"Excellent, I knew you would see it my way eventually," Rias beamed at him, "Now, I will tutor you on Kanji. The *Devil's Tongue* ability allows you to speak, but reading them is another matter."

"Not necessary," Xander replied, "I can read and write English, Italian, French, German, Spanish, Swahili, Russian, Finnish, Arabic, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Mongolian, Latin, Aramaic, Medu-Netjur, Sanskrit, Linear A, Linear B, Phoenecian, Ghoblay'd'kook, Veela, Mermish, Quenya, Sindarian, Klingon, Modern and Ancient Greek." Seeing that everyone's jaws dropped, Xander scratched the back of his neck, "The Watcher's Council had methods of dream teaching languages and It was better those odd dreams than the nightmares I was having."

"H-how many of those did you know before the magic?" Rias was still in a bit of awe. She knew less than half the languages that Xander admitted he could write.

Xander shrugged, "English, Spanish, Italian, and Klingon with smatterings of Quenya and Sindarian."

"I want to learn Klingon," Koneko gently tugged on Xander's sleeve to get his attention.

"Sure thing, Koneko-chan,"

…
…

"You're not a slave, you know," Rias Gremory finally put voice to the pain she's been carrying for the last hour. What Xander had said cut her deeply. The Gremorys, in general, thought of their Peerages as family. For Rias this was particularly true. Akeno, Kiba, and Koneko were her siblings in all but blood, as was Gasper.

"Oh yes I am, Buchou," Xander's reply held only the tiniest bit of rancor as he spoke. He appreciated that Rias waited until they were alone to have this conversation. He had no doubt the others would view his resentment in the wrong light. "You don't see it that way. You don't even treat me like it, yet I am your slave."

The pair of them walked in silence for a minute. It was a lovely evening, the sunset casting a lovely red-orange tint to the sky. Rias was leading Xander to the Hyoudou home. Issei's parents had their memories rewritten to believe Alexander Lavelle Hyoudou was their son. Mentis had worked her magic well on them.

"How can you just say something like that?" Rias finally responded, her shoulders slumped. 'Please don't hate me. I don't think I could stand it.'

"The picture was painted to me clear as day, Buchou," Xander wasn't going to sugar coat anything and his tone was as serious as he got, "When you killed Ripper you declared that at least part of it was he left the service of his King. So I know that if I try to run away, I will be hunted down and killed. It's painfully obvious a Pawn has to do whatever their King wants for fear of death. How is that not being a slave?"

Rias actually stopped dead cold in her tracks. 'Of course that would be how he'd see it.' the realization hit like a freight train. She was thankful Xander had stopped and waited for her, even if he wasn't looking exactly patient. "In some ways you aren't exactly wrong. If you went stray, you would be hunted down." Rias wasn't going to lie to her new servant. "You would be brought back to me and I would have to mete out a punishment. You'd only be killed if you had murdered me or the others. Preying on humans would also lead to your destruction, but I feel that is as likely as God deciding to let Devils pray to Him."

"Well, that's a bit of a relief." Xander admitted, "I'd just leave you and the others alive then. I really wouldn't be worth hunting down. I'm just a Pawn."

"Don't say things like that!" Rias' couldn't contain her emotional outburst. Issei had said the same thing once. She hated the implication that she would care less about any of her peerage. "You're not just a Pawn. You are my only Pawn. It took all eight Pawns to reincarnate Issei. I dare say even if I had all eight back I wouldn't be able to reincarnate you."

"Alright, so I am a valuable Pawn," Xander responded offhandedly, "I am still your servant. Unwillingly on both our parts no less."

"You are a valuable Pawn, but not because of any power or skill you might have," Rias was getting a little heated as she spoke, "My Peerage are family to me. Akeno is my shimai, Koneko is my imouto, Kiba and Gasper are my otoutos. Issei was on his way to being another otouto…"

"So I would be your Onii-san?" Xander's heart unclenched just the tiniest bit. He still resented his enslavement, but that was hardly Rias' fault. 'I can throw her a life line.'

"Yes, that works," Rias said aloud as her entire demeanor changed back to her normal confident playful self, 'For now.' Hooking her arm in his, she started towards the Hyoudou house, "But you still have to call me Buchou."

"Alright, Buchou-chan."

…
…

"This boy was obsessed with tits," Xander observed as he perused the hidden porn stashes that Issei had left behind. There were stacks of Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler, Cheri, and High Society magazines, each of them in a protective cover. There was a tote full of DVD porn movies of various studios. Then there was the silicone paizuri masturbation aid. He'd briefly considered tossing that one out, but it was still sealed in the box it had been shipped in. The fleshlight on the other hand was discarded right away. "I am almost afraid what the blacklight will reveal."

Other than the well hidden porn, Issei had left behind a rather neat and tidy room. Unlike his parents, he slept on a queen-sized bed. He had a nice student's desk where his weekend homework had been waiting to be done right next to a rather nice laptop. There was a fifty inch flatscreen television, a DVD player, a Playstation 4 and an X-Box. All in all it was the room of an upper-middle class teen who was spoiled a bit by his parents.

"Now let's see what he's been upto on the computer," Xander chuckled as he fired up the laptop. It had taken exactly one try to get the password: OppaiLover69. Clicking through his email, Xander found it had been scrubbed clean of everyone except the Hyoudous and the ORC. Backtracking through history showed an interesting trend of Issei avoiding a lot of the internet porn sites, "Probably had his last laptop crash from viruses."

"Well, let's get my Naruto Fanfic fix," Xander began typing in one of his favorite sites only to come up with a 404. Shaking his head, he went to FFN, it was there but there was no Naruto section, "What the fuck?" Some frenzied typing later Xander discovered something rather horrific, "No Naruto?! But why?!"

…
…

"Wake up or I will kill you!"

Let it be said, it is not a wise idea to wake a sleeping Xander using a combination of chainsaw revving and a cute voice making a threat. While still mostly asleep he pulled a ball peen hammer from his Dimensional Pocket and began smashing the alarm clock as if it had stolen a twinkie. In seconds the device was little more than shattered plastic, silicon, and metal. With a yawn, Xander quickly put the hammer back before sitting up in bed.

"I'll need a new alarm clock," Xander muttered as he stood up scratching his ass through his boxers.

…
…

"Making sure I didn't run?" Xander asked as he saw Rias sitting at the table eating breakfast.

"Not at all, I arrived to walk with you to school and your mother insisted that I join you for breakfast," Rias smiled as she picked up her chopstick, "So, how did you sleep?"

"Pretty well," Xander replied as he took his seat, "Just had a slight incident with the alarm clock. It's resting in pieces."

"Oh? You used to love that silly thing," Miki Hyoudou set down breakfast in front of Xander, "What happened?"

Xander was caught off guard. His real parents had been mostly indifferent to him, which he took as a blessing considering how they treated each other. He knew that it stemmed from his older sister's disappearance, but it still didn't change how it felt. So his new mother actually paying attention to him had been shocking, "The chainsaw girl just triggered me, nothing to worry about, Kaa-san."

"Well, then I won't worry too much," Miki smiled warmly before smoothing a stray lock of Xander's hair back into place, "Now, do you want Tea or coffee this morning."

"Coffee, two cups, four cream, five sugar, please," Xander responded automatically as he flashed a lopsided grin. "Breakfast looks delicious."

"So, Gremory-san, this Occult Research Club, are there any dues that Alexander hasn't told us of?" Gorou Hyoudou asked as he looked up from his paper.

"No, most of our funding is handled by my family, but we also hold small fundraisers from time to time to make ends meet when we must," Rias explained, "Why? Has Xander-kun asked you to fund Club activities?"

"Tch… Alexander is too independent to ask me for money," Gorou replied with a wistful expression, "He even works odd jobs to buy all his porn."

Xander had just taken a drink of his coffee and the resulting spit take was epic.

…
…

"I can't believe he openly mentioned the porn in front of you," Xander shook his head at the absurdity of the situation. While the rest of breakfast had gone well, he felt like he'd lost some of Rias' respect.

"Well, Issei was very open about being a pervert," Rias chuckled, "I already knew about his extensive porn collection, so don't feel the need to throw it out to impress me." She paused for a moment with finger to chin in thought, "In fact you should keep it. No use in wasting a good resource."

'Good resource? Well, it will let me relieve the blue balls that I'll develop between her and Akeno,' Xander kept his thought private and quickly changed the subject, "I know you live much closer to the school than I do… so why come all the way out here to walk with me?"

"Well, it struck me that we need to get to know each other," Rias explained rather matter of factly, "I can learn a lot about you by watching the show, but that wouldn't let you get to know me at all, would it?"

"You're right, it wouldn't," Xander nodded as he considered things. 'Couldn't hurt to get to know them. It might even help me escape if the time ever comes.' "So, you aren't watching the show?"

"Oh no, I am watching. I just watched the first four episodes last night before I turned in," Rias smirked, "The last one was named Teacher's Pet."

Xander's reply was in Ghoblay'd'kook and had no direct translation to any known language. It involved someone's mother, bestiality with a rabid wombat, and directions for something physiologically impossible if you had a skeleton at all.

"I thought it was pretty amusing," Rias shrugged her shoulders at the rather vulgar profanity that Xander had uttered. She made a note to learn to pronounce it correctly for a future meeting with her fiancé. "So far my impression of you is extremely positive, Xander-kun. It's not many grown men that can be as brave as you are when the chips are down."

"Yeah, well there are years of my life to get through," Xander sighed, "From what I can remember, I had a few brief moments where I shined, but the rest of the time... not so much."

"We'll see."

…
…

"Hello, my name is Alexander Lavelle Hyoudou. I prefer to be called Xander. I am in your care," Xander introduced himself to Class 2-B. Instantly there were whispered conversations going back and forth about the eyepatch. 'I wish I had one of my fun eyepatches about now. The Smiley Face would be great.' "Alright, to preempt me being asked the same questions over and over again: Is the eyepatch necessary? Yes. How did it happen? A homicidal maniac was upset I wouldn't let him kill my best friend's girlfriend so he gouged my eye out with his thumb. Can you see under the patch? If you want, but if you throw up on me I'll be very upset. Was it all fun and games until I lost the eye? No, two of my friends died that day. Anyone have a question I didn't address? Yeah, the girl with the glasses."

"Do you regret it?" Aika Kiryuu's voice cracked just a bit as she asked that question.

"Nope, it's made choosing Halloween costumes much easier," Xander chuckled as he began counting off options, "Pirate, Odin, Nick Fury, Snake Plisken, Kakashi…" The joke had the desired effect and almost everyone in the room shared a good laugh. "Alright, anything else. Baldy over there."

"This isn't a question, it's more a warning," Matsuda said as he stood up, "You better keep your hands off Koneko-chan, or else. I called dibs."

"Matsuda-san, that is enough," Takeshi-sensei barked out, "I will be reporting this to the Student Council."

"I don't have any designs to date Koneko-chan," Xander stated simply as he looked Matsuda dead in the eye.

"Considering she is only thirteen, I doubt it would go well for anyone dating her. Shovels and graves might be involved."
At that moment Matsuda was sure he saw his own death in Xander's gaze. The normally brash young man clammed up and just nodded his head vigorously. Taking his seat back he turned his attention back to his text book. Anything to stop seeing what he saw in that chocolate brown eye.

"What happened?" Motohama was shocked his friend seemed to give up so easily. He knew it wasn't fear of a beating as they took that at least weekly from the Kendo club, "Normally you'd be clocking him one."

"I just realized that Lolis are not for me anymore," Matsuda shivered as Xander walked by him, "Younger is okay, but Lolis are not."

"Finally! Thank Kami," Motohama said, "I was afraid I would have to stage an intervention."

"You were going to stage an intervention?"

…
…

"The Student Council are Devils." Xander observed casually as he took a seat next to Kiba at lunch. He'd actually been amazed the Prince Charming was surrounded by a gaggle of girls. As it was the blonde swordsman was surrounded by treats his adoring fans had gifted them. "Kaichou feels like Rias a little. The rest feel like you and Koneko. Though none of them feel like Akeno."

"Akeno-nee is special, but I can't divulge why," Kiba was a little impressed that Xander could actually feel other Devils, "How do you sense them?"

"Just a feeling," Xander shrugged, "I think growing up on a Hellmouth made me sensitive to the supernatural. It wasn't until I left that I noticed it at all. That town was just blanketed with supernatural evil."

"So we feel evil to you?" Kiba was a bit worried about what the answer might be. He had no doubt that given any time at all, Xander would be a force to be reckoned with. The way Gasper seemed absolutely terrified of the vampire hunter did not help.

"No, just supernatural with a tinge of Darkness." Xander replied with a shrug, "If anything you feel like the Groosalug, who is about as evil as Captain Kangaroo."

Kiba let loose a breath he hadn't realized he was holding, "Thank Maou, I don't want to imagine being hunted by you."

"Why does everyone think I am some bad-ass?" Xander was more than a bit mystified, "I was the weak link of the Scoobies."

"You were a normal human who willingly fought things several times stronger and faster than yourself," Kiba responded, "You survived fighting creatures like that for ten years. Even with the help you had you should have been dead in under five years. Now you are a Devil, which means you will be getting stronger, faster, and tougher as you train. You can see why I might be afraid if you think we are evil."

"Oh."

…
…

"I am fourteen," Koneko said point blank to Xander as she approached him in the hallway. Then she delivered a love tap to Xander's breadbasket making the young man double over in pain.

"What was that for?" Xander wheezed.

"For saying I wasn't good enough to date," Koneko responded.

"I'm pretty sure I said I didn't have plans to date you," Xander was starting to get his breath back, "And I scared a pedo out of his sick perversion."

"Oh... sorry."

…
…

"What the…?" Xander was more than a little surprised when he opened his locker to find three pairs of panties tumbling out. While this wasn't the first time he'd found lingerie stuffed in weird places, it was still always shocking. Scooping them up quickly, he moved to shove them back in and deal with the mess later.

"Ara Ara, it seems that there are some naughty girls interested in my kohai." Akeno Himejima's smile seemed amused, but it was clear in her eyes she was entering her infamous S-mode, "Or perhaps Xander-kun has been leading them on."

"If I was leading them on the panties would be in my pocket, not my locker, Akeno-chan," Xander chuckled as he began to stuff them back into his locker, only for them to burst into flames prompting him to drop them, "That wasn't too nice. You almost burned me."

"Naughty girls don't deserve to have you keep their panties," Akeno commented idly. "Unless they give them to you directly."

"You're like someone combined the best parts of Cordelia, Faith, and Anya, you know that?" Xander shook his head slightly at the young woman's antics, "So are you here for Buchou-chan?"

Akeno's eyes widened a bit as she heard Xander add the suffix. "She lets you call her that?"

"Like she could stop me," Xander flashed a lopsided smirk, "If Illyria the Merciless couldn't get me to stop calling her Illy, Rias has only one shot at getting me to stop… earning a new nickname."

"Ufufufu," Akeno covered her mouth as she laughed, "You are going to be just as interesting Issei was. But yes, Buchou did ask me to talk to you. She has an important family meeting tonight so the ORC will be delayed until seven."

"Well, that will give me enough time to complete the English homework at least." Xander nodded. "So then I'll see everyone at seven."

…
…

"I am so sorry, I was off in my own world," Xander said as he saw the young lady he'd just knocked over. There was quite a bit of truth to his statement as he was just pondering the strangeness of his life and how it compared to before, "Here, let me help you up."

"It's partially my fault. I was just enjoying the scenery," the young girl said as she struggled up to her hands and knees. Her black neophyte habit hitching up to expose her white cotton panties.

Taking a calming breath, Xander reached down and gently picked the girl up and set her on her feet. Of course this caused the blonde haired girl to blush. "So what brings you to Kouh, Sister?"

"I am looking for the Catholic Church," She said, "Someone was supposed to meet me at the Train Station, but they never came. I thought I could find the Church on my own, but I am so lost."

"Well, Xander Hyoudou at your service, m'lady," Xander bowed with a flourish before straightening up. He was performing his full gentleman adventurer shtick that never failed to get a smile of the girls back home, "I shall guide you on your quest, for I know the proper path by happenstance."

"You will?" She lit up like a beacon, "Oh thank you so very much, Xander-san. I was afraid I'd never find anyone who would help. I'm Asia Argento."

"Well met, Lady Asia," Xander continued on in character. He then took her suitcase before offering her his other arm, "Surely the Fates are smiling upon me this day to meet someone of your beauty and grace."

Asia blushed a deep red upon hearing that, but still took Xander's proffered arm, "And I am truly blessed by the Lord meeting you, Xander-san."

"So, they are reopening the Church? That will make acquiring Holy Water much easier in the future," Xander dropped his act and began an actual conversation.

"Oh, I did not know you were an Exorcist," Asia's voice quivers a bit, "but you're not affiliated with my host."

"Me, an Exorcist? That's a laugh," Xander chuckled, "Not that the Church didn't offer, but after that Cardinal called my Willow an Abomination that should be purged, there was no way I'd work for them. Even after the Pope sent his apology."

"You still fight Devils then?" Asia's tension seemed to vanish.

"Yeah," Xander began, but then remembered his current situation, "Well, I hunt the ones who harm people. I figure the Big Guy would be big on forgiveness for the ones that aren't hurting people."

"I believe that as well," Asia said after a moment, "The Lord preaches to love thy enemy."

"Exactly, though some people take that a bit too far as well," Xander chuckled as he remembered how often Buffy had been caught having sex with vampires. "But enough shop talk. I'd like to get to know my new friend."

"Friend?" Asia nearly tripped over her feet in shock, "I'm your friend?"

"Sure thing, Asia-chan," Xander flashed his lopsided grin, "I only make friends with the best people and I am a pretty good judge of character. So why wouldn't I want to be your friend?"

"I've just… I've never had a friend before," Asia choked up for a moment, "I've been raised by the Church and because of my power, I've been isolated from anyone near my age."

"I'll take a wild stab in the dark that you can heal people," Xander had mentally gone through powers that the Church would value. The top two were a Slayer and a Healer. Since Asia was far too timid to be a Slayer, then she was definitely a Healer, "They didn't take you from your parents did they?"

"Oh no, I was abandoned at a Convent when I was a baby. The Sisters raised me, but I didn't even know about my power until I had found a wounded puppy," Asia was quick to refute the idea she'd been stolen, "Then I was moved to a larger church where I helped many of the faithful. I was truly happy doing God's work..."

"Something happened, didn't it?" the wistfulness in Asia voice was not lost on Xander. He'd heard the same tone from several Council Witches who'd been disowned. "I could guess at it, but it would just be a stab in the dark.:

"Oh no, I don't mind telling a friend," Asia shook her head for a moment before she started to explain, "Not long ago I came across a wounded Devil. He was bleeding so much and was barely conscious as he huddled behind the compost bin. I just couldn't leave him there to suffer…"

"So you did the good thing and healed him," Xander continued for her when Asia paused, "And the Church did not take kindly to that."

"No, they claimed I was a Witch," Asia whispered, "That my power was from a Pact with Satan. I was excommunicated and they were going to burn me at the stake."

Xander had to bite his tongue to stop himself from issuing death threats on a bunch of old clergymen. 'She doesn't need to hear all that.' Centering himself for a moment he responds, "I can't say if you did the right thing or not, but I do believe you did the good thing. They had no right to judge you for following the teachings of the Bible."

"Thank you for not judging me, Xander-san."

…
…

"Well, I know where the Fallen Angels are hiding out," Xander said as he took a sip of the tea Akeno had served. The effect was immediate. Everyone's head swiveled so they were looking directly at him, "I met a Sacred Gear wielder who's been excommunicated after she healed a Devil. She's said her hosts are housing her in the Catholic Church. She was lost, so being the nice guy I am I guided her there. From what I could feel there were four Fallen inside and at least one human with some magical ability."

"This is problematic, according to the ceasefire the Devils have to allow the other two factions to use any Houses of Worship even if they are abandoned," Rias chewed a bit on her thumb as she absorbed this news, "Did they notice you?"

"I'd say yes, at least one did," Xander replied with a nod, "Though I doubt she is a threat to me."

"Don't get cocky, Xander-kun," Kiba shook his head, "Fallen Angels can create weapons made of light, even a weak one can hurt most Devils."

"Oh, I wasn't thinking I could take her in a fight," Xander scratched the back of his head, "I just know the smell she was giving off quite well. She's only a danger to my chastity."

"Xander-senpai," Koneko stared balefully at him, "Stop being lewd."

"Ara ara, a forbidden romance between Fallen and Devil, how naughty," Akeno giggled a little. "Does my little Kohai need to be punished?"

"Oi, I was just telling you what I smelled," Xander sighed, "I haven't done anything lewd with her or anyone else since I got here."

"Well, it has only been a few days," Kiba put in and then when he received a glare from Xander he just chuckled, "Just saying that there were quite a few girls that wanted to know where you lived so they could have study dates with you."

"Back on topic, do you think they know where you live?" Rias asked more than a little concerned, "Because I can sleep in your house if you think it will dissuade them from attack."

"No, I didn't go back home after dropping Asia off at the Church," Xander replied, "One of them followed me, but they broke off when I got near the school boundaries. So unless they know I was Issei once upon a time, they have no clue." Xander paused for a few moments, "What I am concerned with is why the Fallen want a Healer. Two options spring to mind: They are planning a war of attrition or they have a way of stealing her Sacred Gear."
