In other news, this chapter gives more detail about Anthony's backstory, along with development between him and a few members of the ORC. Remember to review, but most importantly... enjoy!

Chapter 7: A New Living Arrangement

Two days later. Anthony walked inside to clubhouse. "Hello? Prez, ya here- GAH!" He asked, then walking into something. "TOGILIO, TIGLILO, TOGLILO!" Anthony's hands widely grasped whatever he walked into. "Jesus Christ, son of a," He noticed he walked into a... "Bra? What the... OW!" He said, then felt his head slapped by something... and wet.

"See anything you like, pervert?" Asked Koneko, holding a lobster in her hand... it was broken now.

"Ugh, no I... you hit me with a lobster?" Asked Anthony.

Koneko then held up 2 more items, one in each hand, both of which would hurt more than a dead shellfish. "Would you rather a jackhammer, or dumbbell?" She asked.

"What's going on... uh, Anthony? Why are you holding my bra?" Asked the voice of Asia, whose head peaked out of the clubhouse shower. Anthony's jaw dropped, how was he supposed to justify this situation?

"I think he was gonna wear it like a pair of earmuffs" said Koneko.

"I WAS NOT!" Yelled the human.

"Oh, please don't Anthony, you'll look silly" said Asia.

"I just walked inside and it got caught on my face! Non l'ho notato, LO GIURO!" Anthony frantically denied, hanging the fabric back up on the clothesline.

"Sure you didn't" said Koneko. Anthony looked down at the younger student. "Listen, shorty; I'm not that kind of guy. It's not like I was TRYING to..."

STOMP!

Anthony was stopped by Koneko's tiny foot crushing his own, his eyes popping out of his head and whining because of the pain... it felt like his foot was crushed under a wrecking ball.

"Suck it" said Koneko, releasing her foot and sitting on the sofa, getting out a snack to eat.

"ANTHONY! Are you ok?" Asked Asia, running out of the shower in a towel and kneeled down to check on her childhood friend. "These piggies went 'whee, whee, whee' all the way to the ospedale" the Italian croaked in a cracked, high-pitched voice.

Asia started healing his 'piggies' with her Sacred Gear. In doing so, she dropped her towel without realizing and... Anthony looked away, but he couldn't help but stare for a second. Perhaps it was better to let Asia finish healing him first...

After the healing session was done and Asia finished her bathing, Rias walked in and sat at her desk. She called Anthony over, as he wasn't doing anything except reading his recipe book (though Rias was curious what he'd make next, not everyday she had a meal like the ones he made).

"Training? But you've seen me fight, I can totally handle myself" said Anthony.

"That may be true. But if you want to maximize the power you can get from the Boosted Gear, I have to make sure your in peak condition... mentally and physically" said Rias.

"More power, eh? Sounds promising... alright, sono un gioco" Anthony said, confidently. More power was always nice... What was with that smile on Rias' face? It was cute and sexy, don't get him wrong; but something about it made Anthony's spine tingle.

-TIME BREAK-

Instead of her school uniform, Rias wore a track suit that was red and white. The training itself actually wasn't as bad as Anthony thought it would be... at first. Rias had Anthony run some laps on the school track while she rode a bike alongside of him which wasn't too difficult... then she forced him to CARRY the damn thing for 3 more! If THAT wasn't the worst part, everytime he'd slow down, she'd hit him in the culo with a small Destruction spell.

"QUESTO CAZZO FA SCHIFO!" Shouted Anthony. When that was over, he did pull-ups on some bars Rias magically conjured up in front of the ORC building.

"Stop for a second" commanded Rias. Anthony did, and she went behind him and went down. He went to look down, "DON'T LOOK!" She ordered, which Anthony obeyed. What was she up too? "Ok, now you can go" she said.

Anthony pulled... "GAAAAH! What the...? PALLE CATENE?!" Asked Anthony, looking down and seeing what she did.

"Strength isn't the only thing that'll get you by in the Underworld, your gonna need intelligence too" said Rias. Anthony's right eye twitched, and gave Rias an anime-style annoyed face.

"And how does THIS! Boost my intelligence?" He asked with gritted teeth, gesturing with both hands.

"Chop, chop; times a wasting" said Rias, not giving him an answer. He ended up muttering something in Italian, earning him a Destruction spell in the ass again, yelping in pain.

Next, she had Anthony do push-ups, which was also easy enough. After doing 30 without stopping (which impressed her), Rias told him to stop. "Ugh, what now? You gonna sit on...? GACK!" Asked Anthony.

"You said it, not me" Rias smiled devilishly, sitting right on the center of Anthony's back, forcing him flat on the ground.

"Yeah. Match made in hell, alright" he muttered. Not willing to quit, Anthony continued, though it was harder due to the... extra weight. He tried not too, but the feeling of Rias' soft yet firm buttocks made his mind drift in certain directions... what can he say, he's a guy. She then slapped his butt, not hard but enough to get his attention.

"And don't think I don't know your having sexually charged thoughts about me" Rias said.

"God was cruel to men, ok? He gave you an extra rib, and we can only think with one head at a time" Anthony joked, making Rias hit his butt a little harder. "Come on, PUSH!" She ordered.

As Anthony groaned and got down for his 45th push-up, he slowly grinned, getting an idea. He heaved upwards, making Rias squeal in surprise as she was thrown off like Rose off the Titanic. The poor Devil landed right on her side, as Anthony kept pushing up. "YOU PUSHED ME!" She yelled at him.

"l'hai detto, non io" Anthony smiled back, continuing his training regimen. Rias glared at him for this, but he wasn't affected. He already got what he wanted.

"I'M HERE, SORRY I'M LATE... WHOA, OOF!" Said the cheerful voice of Asia, running to join Anthony and Rias with a basket of bottled water, but she fell over herself.

"ASIA! You ok?" Asked Anthony, jumping up immediately and running over to help Asia. As Rias watched this, she couldn't help but be impressed. Even after all the training this morning, he still got up and helped a friend in need. It was much like when he wanted to rescue Asia, he went after Raynare despite the odds stacked against him.

-TIME BREAK-

Heading home after school, Anthony walked down the street. He was alone at first, but then Rias and Asia joined him. Not thinking anything of it, he continued his journey home while making small talk with the 2 girls. When he finally got to the apartment complex... "What's with all the boxes? Someone moving in?... Eh, maybe Pesca'll know" said Anthony, shrugging off the sight and headed up to his apartment, not noticing Rias smiling and Asia looking shy. When he got upstairs, there were more boxes... "At mia porta? The hell?" Anthony asked aloud, now a little concerned. He was sure he paid his rent last month...

Then... he saw a familiar symbol on the side of them. "... Rias... why is there boxes... by my house... with your family name on them?" He said, remaining calm.

"Oh, right. I forgot to mention, Asia'll be staying with you" said Rias, though the smirk on her face told Anthony she 'forgot' on purpose. Besides, it wasn't a big deal to him that Asia would be moving in. It's not like she could go back to the church, for a variety of reasons. In fact, Asia and him once had a sleepover when they were younger because of a storm, and the young blond was too scared to go back to her own room... actually, that was when the church decided to cut him loose...

"Oh... alright. Though it would've been nice to know in advance, could've cleaned the house before she came" said Anthony, calming down a little, but then he (and Asia) jumped out of his skin when his apartment door opened, and a man walked out towards Rias.

"There you are, Miss Gremory. Miss Argento's and your accommodations are all set" said the man.

"Thank you, payment will be in your account tomorrow" Rias thanked, with the man bowing and talking his leave.

A few seconds after that, "Unless that was Pesca's 25th boyfriend... who found the key to my apartment again... why... was that asino casuale man... in. My. House?" Asked Anthony, biting his tongue to keep himself from yelling. He had no problems with Asia was moving in, she couldn't stay in that drafty clubhouse, he wouldn't allow it. But what was that 'your accommodations' deal about? (AN: Italians are stereotypically EXTREMELY protective of their homes... and food)

"Since Asia can't exactly move back into her prior arrangement, when I asked her where'd she'd like to live, the first word out of her mouth was you. She even told me of the sleepovers you had, it was so sweet" said Rias. Asia blushed as she said this.

"Then why is YOUR stuff here?" Asked Anthony.

"I thought I'd move in as well, isn't that great?" Said Rias. Anthony's face paled, this was NOT good. School rumors, campus theories, Asia's jealousy, Rias' teasing, accidental run-ins with the opposite sex... no matter how you'd spin it, it wasn't a good mix... it'll end up bad for Anthony.

"Rias... this is NOT a good idea" Anthony said. While he did have lewd thoughts about multiple girls when he was a horny middle schooler, he was now grown up thanks to the path his life took him. Of course, that didn't mean he didn't still not have them, just not to the same extent. Besides; if Rias AND Asia, 2 beautiful girls somehow ended up how Rias sleeps; then certain... instincts will kick in.

"Why? It's not like you haven't slept with a girl before" Rias teased about their first meeting.

"Well, I didn't exactly have a choice in the matter, did I?" Anthony asked through his teeth.

"She could learn how to be a good wife. should you both get married" Rias teased again, getting a deep-red blush and an 'eep' from the ex-nun.

"M-M-M-M-Marriage, NOW?! A-A-ABBIAMO SOLO SEDICI ANNI! PER COSA PARALA DEL MATRIMONIO? QUALI GENITORI SANI DI MENTE PERMETTEREBBERO PERSINO AL LORO BAMBINO DI FARE QUALCOSA DEL GENERE?" Anthony said quickly, not expecting Rias to throw the marriage card. Don't get him wrong, he's always thought about having his own family, but not while he was still in school!

Anthony stopped himself when he noticed Rias' facial expression. It was sad all of a sudden. "Hey, Rias; you ok?" Asked Anthony, but his devil master didn't answer. It was like she was in some kind of trace. "Yo! Terra a Rias?" Asked Anthony, snapping his fingers in her face twice.

"Huh?... Oh. It's just... uh... I wanted to pay you back for the kindness you showed me" she replied, now out of the funk she was in. This made Anthony think, it was a little out of the blue, but maybe this was Rias' way of saying thank you... odd yes, but maybe he overreacted just a little.

"Look, I don't have a problem with 2 amazingly attractive girls moving in. Just ask next time, ok? You caught me by surprise" said Anthony with a smile, attempting to make Rias feel better. She smiled back at him.

"Deal, now can you help me carry my things?" Asked Rias. Anthony picked up the closest box and carried it.

"Yes, your majesty" he teased. As he turned around, Rias' face returned to its saddened state...

SLUMP!

A sound came from behind the 3 friends... did the box break and something fall out? Turning to check, they saw Pesca standing with her mouth agape, having dropped her bag of groceries in shock. "First... you sleep with her... then... you cheat on her with the nun... now, all THREE of you are living together? Am I missing something?" She said, pointing to Rias first, then Asia. Anthony sweatdropped... this was gonna be a pleasant conversation/explanation.

-TIME BREAK-

Anthony made breakfast again the next morning, and it was to die for. Rias and Asia sad they loved it, making Anthony smile. Maybe living with 2 girls wasn't such a bad idea after all... as long as the student body doesn't find out, that is. Not only would the Perverted Duo never let him live it down, but he'd also be numero uno on every boys' hit-list.

"Alright, ya hooligans. Settle down! We have a new student joining us today, so please make her feel welcome" said the teacher, introducing Asia to the class. They all stopped what they were doing and paid attention... many boys also stared in awe of her beauty.

"G-Good morning, I'm Asia Argento" said Asia, shyly, introducing herself to the class. Anthony was surprised himself. Out of every other classroom she could've been put in, she ended up in his... he was happy, don't get him wrong, but he wondered if Rias had something to do with it. "I feel kinda like a fish out of water, but I'm excited to be here" she continued. She noticed Anthony, so she began to relax. At least he was here for her, this way she'd know SOMEBODY.

"SWEET! We got a shorty, and she's hot, yo!" Said Matsuda. "Bust 34, waist 26..." said Motohama, but he felt something hit the side of his face before he could finish his calculations. "HEY! WHO THREW THAT?!" He asked, but no one answered.

Anthony just chuckled, putting his Boosted Gear away from under his desk, having fired a very weak beam of a move he dubbed Dragon Shot... it truly was a handy tool. Since it was known as the Red Dragon's Gauntlet anyway, he figured that name sounded appropriate. 'Well, it looks like Asia's gonna get along with everyone just fine. As long as they don't find out...' Anthony thought to himself.

"It's overwhelming, but luckily I'm staying with Anthony." No sooner did those words leave Asia's lips, every single male student in that room eyed Anthony, making the Italian sweatdrop. Of course, Matsuda and Motohama were on him in seconds.

"You've been shacking up with Gremory AND Shorty? HOW'D YOU PULL THAT OFF?!" Said Matsuda, shaking Anthony while crying.

"You gotta tell is your secrets! Page 3, subsection 5 of the bro code demands it!" Said Motohama, holding Anthony in place from behind.

"It's in the 'Italian Stallions' genes, now let me go!" Said Anthony, breaking free from the perverts' hold. Regardless, Anthony smiled as a few girls called Asia over to an empty desk near them, looks like people'll like her.

Girl #2: So, you live with Anthony?

Asia: Ah, yes. I've known him for a long time and...

Girl #4: What's he like?

Asia: Well, he's a good cook; and he's such a gentle guy who you can talk too...

Girl #3: How big is he?

Asia: (blinks, not understanding the question or why it was asked) Um... 5'8.

Girl #5: Real cute. Seriously, what's his SIZE?

Asia: (is confused) Size...? Well, he's got a big heart and..."

Girl #1: (facepalms) Do we have to spell it out for you? How big is his d-?

Teacher: ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT! That's enough! Turn your books to page 12, NOW!

Anthony was never so happy to start a lesson in his life. Troie. That's the only word Anthony could think of to describe those girls. They clearly weren't at all interested in anything Asia had to say unless it was about him. The poor girl also didn't catch onto their slang, which Anthony was thankful for... that would be a conversation he'd rather avoid with the ex-nun.

-TIME BREAK-

Anthony had taken his bike to school today instead of walking. The reason for this was because Anthony hadn't made a pact in quite some time. He didn't have to since he was still human, but felt it was necessary; Rias did in fact save his life. Although Anthony couldn't help but think there had to be a better way to pay Rias back for giving him a second chance at life, a birthday feast maybe? He'll ask when her birthday is and... actually, since Devils are immortal, do they even CELEBRATE birthdays?

Eh, he'll worry about all that later.

Asia had gotten all sorts of attention from everyone, and it overwhelmed the poor girl. Luckily for them, Anthony knew a guy in the wood shop club that was more than happy to assist the obvious problem the bike had... that being it was a one-seater. It wasn't the best solution (or the safest), but Anthony found it rude to just take his bike home and leave her behind. It was hard trying to ride with it, but eventually Anthony and Asia found balance and took the new and (slightly) improved bike home. If this was gonna become a recurring thing, Anthony will have to work overtime at his job to get enough money for a new bike.

"I'm glad everyone was so nice to me today" said Asia, cheerfully. She had herself worried about fitting in with the crowd since she was church-schooled, but today turned out better than expected.

"Oh yeah, especially those tazze di frutta during homeroom" Anthony said, earning a light slap on the shoulder from Asia.

"Sii gentile, they were just curious about you" said Asia.

"Sono sicuro che lo fossero..." said Anthony, sarcastically.

"Your friends Matsuda and Motohama are really nice too" Asia said.

"Yeaaaaaaaah, about them... they didn't do anything to you, did they?" Asked Anthony.

"No" said Asia.

"Didn't ask anything creepy?"

"No."

"Ask you to swing their dolphin?"

"... No... what's that?"

"Nothing, don't worry about it" Anthony cut to conversation off, not wanting to go any further or worry Asia.

"By the way, are they devils too?" Asked Asia.

"Pffft, they wish. Why do you ask?" Questioned Anthony.

"Well, they invited me to a party they called Devils Three Way" said Asia shamelessly, mostly cause she didn't understand what it meant.

"Whatever you do, NEVER accept that invitation" said Anthony, sternly.

"Oh, ok" Asia promised.

BUMP!

Anthony either drove over a rock or a large crack in the pavement, for the bike bounced a little and due to the sudden happening of it, Asia hugged Anthony on instinct. Anthony stopped the ride to check on her. "Hey, you ok?" He asked turning his neck to face her.

"Oh... y-yes, I'm fine" Asia assured him.

"Alright... well, hold on tight. Eggplant Parmesan with chicken and rice, here we come!" He said, revving up and riding home. Asia couldn't help but giggle at his ecstatic behavior towards food, he was always like that... he'd even aggravate the church cooks about it whenever they served something. Hugging Anthony as he drove home, Asia blushed as she leaned her face into his back... she was glad she found him again.

-TIME BREAK-

Rias was staring into space the next day, she hadn't even touched the paperwork on her desk. Anthony noticed his as he sat on the sofa (not the one Koneko was on, he didn't want a repeat of 'the piggies' incident). Walking up to her, he called once. Nothing. He called again, a little louder. Still nothing.

"*makes a radio static noise* Attention passengers, would a Rias Gremory please be so kind as to answer her favorite Pawn when he talks to her?" He said.

"Huh?" That finally got the red-heads attention. Smiling and getting in on the joke, she took out her pinky and thumb in the shape of a phone. "This is Rias Gremory. Tell my handsome Pawn I'm awake now, I must've spaced out. It's just been one of those days" she teased.

"10-4, copy that. I'll let him know. *makes another static noise*" said Anthony. This little show earned giggles from both Asia and Akeno, Kiba smiled and while Koneko was emotionless, she was happy the perv was able to cheer Rias up... if only he knew what she was so worked up about...

Anthony then got to the ground and faked climbing upstairs in front of Rias' desk, then did an overly gentleman-like bow. "You called, your most esteemed highness?" He said.

"Yeah. I'd like you to go sit down, funny man" she said.

"Your wish is MY command" Anthony joked, bowing and staying bowed as he walked backwards into the sofa he was just sitting on. She wouldn't say it out loud, but Rias was glad Anthony made her smile just now. She had so much on he mind.

"Asia?" Rias called the ex-nun to her desk.

"Um, yes ma'am?" Asked Asia, wondering what Rias would be calling her for.

"I was thinking of making your big debut right now, if your ok with it?" Asked Rias. Even though she was the master of the house, she never wanted to force her servants into doing anything they weren't comfortable with.

"Right now? Isn't it a little early?" Asked Anthony. Asia hasn't been in town for long, so its not like she knew her way around... hell, she got lost trying to find the bathroom today... TWICE! It also didn't help that she always ask Anthony were it was, leading to some eyes gluing onto them.

"As a Devil, she needs to make a pact with someone sooner or later. One can't hurt, can it?" Asked Rias.

"It's sweet you want to protect her, but you need to relax and let the bird out of the nest. Besides, she'll be awesome, I just know it" said Akeno.

"I have no doubt of that. In fact, I think she'll be TOO good at getting one" deadpanned Anthony.

"Too good?" Asked Rias, interested at Anthony's choice of words.

"Just look at her! Sparkly green eyes, long blond hair, a good figure! There's NO ONE on planet earth that wouldn't want to make a pact with her!" Said Anthony.

"Oh... well, thank you, for believing in me" Asia blushed.

"Then again, that's also the problem. She's so sweet and innocent, I'm worried someone'll take advantage of her" he continued, making Asia gasp.

"And you know that better than anyone, don't you?" Said Koneko, looking up from her eating her chocolate. Anthony just stared at her for a few seconds with an annoyed expression.

"Seriously, do you ALWAYS have something to say?" Anthony asked her... and didn't get a response. "Look Prez, I just think Asia should sit this one out. At least, until she knows the area better. I'll take her contract" said Anthony, making Asia blush again.

"R-Really? You'd do that for me?" Asia asked.

Anthony just rubbed her hair, making her smile. "Of course I would. Come on, you know me better than that. Especially when all those asshats attacked you that one time" Anthony said, making Asia nod.

Hearing that, Rias looked in interest. So Asia was attacked and he saved her? That would explain why they were so close. "... Very well, I'll allow it. But just this once" she said, allowing Anthony his request.

"Thank you, miss. I'll hop to it now" said Anthony, leaving the room by entering a magic circle Rias had prepared.

After a moment of silence, "So... you were attacked? At a church of all places?" Asked Rias, making Asia jump at her sudden question.

"Um... yes. Anthony fought hard to protect me" said Asia.

"Sounds like he fought hard to get in your pants" said Koneko, biting another piece of chocolate.

Out of all the slang Asia had heard since coming here, that was the most blunt case she had ever heard, so much that she actually understood EXACTLY what it meant. "O-O-Oh. N-N-No, that's not it at all. In fact, that was the first day he used his gift."

...

...

...

That made the room fall silent. Asia had called her Sacred Gear a gift for so long, it was just automatic sometimes. The ORC knew this, and this was news to them. Anthony had used his Boosted Gear before? Why didn't he tell them? Why did he play dumb about not knowing what it was? "So... his gear awakened..." started Kiba.

"Before getting reincarnated?" Finished Akeno.

Rias tilted her head in thought, was THIS why he didn't become a Devil? Maybe. But then again, it could be just a coincidence. "Would you mind sharing?" Asked Rias, to which Asia nodded.

-FLASHBACK-

About a year and a half after Anthony was taken under the churches wing after the lose of his parents, he and Asia walked along a path into a garden. Seeing a white flower nearby, Anthony picked it up and placed it in Asia's hair. "Perfezionare! Like a queen! Fallo, ragazza! Lavoraci!" Said Anthony, putting his hands together like a camera and pretended to be the paparazzi; with Asia giggling and telling him to stop, yet made no moves to remove her makeshift crown nor run away from the attention he was giving her.

"Isn't that cute? Antonio's putting the moves on the nun" said a voice.

"I wonder what Miss Ganim would have to say about this?" Said another voice. Looking behind them, Anthony and Asia saw a few students that were also known to bully others, even adults! They were actually 3 years older, so they were in a different class.

"Ascolta, Scott. we don't want any... OW!" Anthony tried to say, but one of the bullies threw a rock at his face, causing blood to leak out.

"Talk in English. This is America, A-mer-i-ca!" Said one of the bullies. Anthony held his face, but felt blood and pulled his hand back to check, the red liquid confirming his suspicions. Immediately, Asia began healing him.

"There goes the witch, doing her hocus pocus again" said Scott.

"Pelt her!" Shouted another bully, picking up another rock with Scott and 3 more bullies following his lead. Anthony saw it coming, and got in front of Asia protectively, defending her from the attack. Asia's eyes began to water. The pelting stopped after a few seconds, but 4 bullies pulled him off of Asia and onto the ground.

"ANTHONY!" Cried Asia, but she couldn't him due to Scott blocking her path.

"Sisters in the house of God shouldn't be so naughty, bitch" said Scott, slapping Asia hard enough to knock her down.

"ASIA!" Cried Anthony, but the grip of the 4 bullies on him outweighed his physical strength. Scott then got atop of Asia, touching her in a VERY provocative ways. Anthony called out for Scott to let her go, but he was too busy to answer.

Scott heard a beating going on behind him, figuring Anthony was getting a beating that he deserved. He then heard footsteps behind him, and groaned. "Ugh, look Chad, you can have your turn in a..." he said as he turned... it was not this Chad person, nor ANY of the other bullies.

It was Anthony, his eyes full of rage... green rage. While this didn't scare Scott, the condition of his comrades were in did, they were on the ground clutching themselves in pain. That was impossible, how did a weakling like Anthony fight all of them off? And were did that red toy come from?

[BOOST!]

The last thing Scott saw was the "toy" slamming into his face... he was in the hospital for a week afterward, then punished accordingly for his actions.

-END FLASHBACK-

"But when I asked him about it, he didn't remember anything... just this surge of emotion and the next second, he was on his feet with the bullies all around him. I thought maybe it was the shock of him using his gift for the first time, I know it was for me. But even after another year, he still never said anything different, so I decided to never bring it up again. Then when Lady Raynare attacked us, and he used the Gear for himself, well..." said Asia, but she stopped, not wanting to relive another painful memory.

Rias was shocked by the tale, and here she thought there was no evil in churches since it was the house of God. So Anthony's Gear activated at a young age? It was interesting, it did explain why Anthony was so protective, but it left her with even more questions. If Anthony had access to his Sacred Gear, then why didn't he use it to protect himself when Raynare first attacked him? And why couldn't he remember using it? It might have been the trauma as Asia had pointed out, but then why didn't he recognize it after a second use?

The flash of a magic circle filled the room, Anthony was back already? "Here..." he said with no emotion, handing Rias the pact he made.

"Uh... Anthony... why are you...?" She began to ask, but stopped due to Anthony glaring at her... he was in no mood to talk right now. That's saying nothing about what he was wearing, he was dressed in a Sailor Moon outfit... the main female character.

"Non... chiedere..." the Italian growled, ripping the clothes off and revealing his uniform underneath. He then sat on the sofa with his arms crossed. "Devils don't get paid enough for this bullshit..."

-TIME BREAK-

The next day during P.E., students were outside in gym clothes, working out or running track. Asia was doing stretches with another student, lifting each others weight using their backs. "OOOOOOH! Check it out! If you catch the right angle of Shorty's shorts, you can get a full-on panty shot!" Said Motohama, eyeing Asia's group from a distance.

"Awwww, snap! I think I see it, hom-..." said Matsuda. However, the top of his and Motohama's heads were grabbed and clacked together, making them both groan in pain. Anthony was standing behind them.

"I told you both already, I have no problem with you checking out girls... but Asia's off limits!" Anthony said, sternly yet calmly. The aura Anthony was radiating made the Perverted Duo obey and not question him any further. "Look, I'm going to take a power nap, can I trust you both to behave?" Asked Anthony. For some reason, he still felt tired despite having a good nights sleep... guess its one of those days.

The boys promised they would TRY and constrict their hormonal instincts. So to help them, Anthony hired 2 girls from the Kendo Club to 'babysit' them... Murayama and Katase were their names, he thinks. They were actually glad to take up the offer now that he thought about it.

Anthony didn't know how long he was out, but he didn't care. Opening his eyes and turning left, he went to get up... only to see something... or rather, SOMEONE, had crawled into bed with him... naked.

Rias... who else? What was off was the fact her Devil wings were out as well. "Dolci cazzi sacri!" Yelped Anthony, panicking an grabbing the curtain behind him. This caused him to fall off the bed and pull down the curtains with him. Rias, eyes fluttering due to the noise, began to wake up.

"Hmm? Oh; good morning, Anthony. Sleep well?" She asked with a cute yawn.

"Just fine, what are doing here?" Asked Anthony, getting out of the curtains.

"I felt a little sleepy, so I figured I'd grab a quick nap" Rias said, stilling up and looking down at him.

"And that lead you into bed with me, HOW?" Asked Anthony, since there was 5 more beds Rias clearly could've had all to herself, yet she chose to sleep with him.

"You looked lonely, so I had to join you" she answered, no hesitation. She then cupped his cheeks with both hands in an affectionate manner. lifting his face up. "Hey, your face is all red. You ok?" Rias asked. She was playing dumb, Anthony knew this. She knew EXACTLY why he got all hot and bothered.

"Yeah just... most people I know don't take naps in the nude" Anthony said, blushing to the the closeness of their faces.

"I'm sorry. I've been like this since I was little, I could never sleep unless I was naked... that's not a problem, is it?" Said Rias, again with no shame.

"N-N-No, j-just caught me by surprise is all" Anthony said. Rias then rested her forehead on Anthony's.

"So tense. Just relax, it's not like you haven't seen me already" said Rias.

"Again... didn't have a choice either" Anthony said, trying to control his nerves.

"Hey, this might be an odd question, but are you an admirer of breasts?" Asked Rias, still not a hint of discomfort nor embarrassment.

"Uh... I don't know, never really thought about it" Anthony white lied. He's a teenage boy, of course he's had a few thoughts about a girls body parts. Unlike his two 'friends' however, he controls it better than others.

"I see... maybe you should try mine... you can touch them if you want" said Rias, giving Anthony a sly smile. Anthony's jaw dropped... she didn't just say that, did she? Then again, she once stood up so he could get a better view, so its not like it wasn't out of the ordinary.

"Excuse me?" He asked, his voice cracking.

"Just answer me honestly, then you can ravage then ALLLLLLL you want" said Rias, giving Anthony the offer.

"Uh... do I have a choice this time around?" He asked, voice still cracked.

Rias got up and started putting her clothes back on. "No, this isn't a request. Meet me in the club room after school, then we'll talk" she said, walking out and leaving Anthony to himself.

[I'm surprised. Most men would kill for a cup-the-feel free card] said the voice in Anthony's head. Seriously, who did it belong to? Was it his innermost desires or something?

-TIME BREAK-

"Rias? You in?" Asked Anthony, entering the ORC after school.

"You came? Wow, you must really wanna get off on me, don't you?" Rias teased, sitting on top of her desk.

"Yeah, yeah; real funny. So what's the question? How I look this good? How I mix the perfect blend of rosemary and herbs?" Asked Anthony, shaking off her 'offer'. Now that he calmed down, he figured she was just pressing his buttons earlier, it seemed to be her favorite pastime. Anthony wondered if she did the same to Kiba...

"What do you really think... about marriage?" Asked Rias. Anthony searched her tone and face for deceit, but found that Rias had asked a question quite honestly.

"Well. Um... its a beautiful thing" said Anthony, making Rias slightly gasp. "Two people come together to remain bound for the rest of their lives... two souls that love each other more than anything. My mom and dad are... er... were, a prime example. Sure they fought sometimes, but got through everything that life threw at them by sticking together. Its nice... unlike that shit you see on TV, people that just use marriage as a way to further there own agendas. It feels wrong. Promising to love someone and screwing them over? Why even bother putting up with someone you don't even like, you'll just end up miserable" said Anthony, continuing with his speech.

Rias just stared in surprise, unable to answer Anthony back. "Oh, uh. Sorry, I tend to get emotional sometimes. I'm a real train wreck, aren't I?" Asked Anthony, scratching the back of his neck in embarrassment...

SMOOSH!

Rias hugged him, catching Anthony off guard. "Thank you, Anthony. I'm glad you gave me a real answer" said Rias, her eyes getting watery. Not knowing what else to due, Anthony just slowly hugged her back. Rias stiffed up at his touch, but then relaxed and sank into the hug. She needed this, especially with what she was going through... she was glad Anthony was here for her. In fact, she was so into the hug, that she didn't react when the other members of the ORC walked in. They stared in shock, not expecting to see this.

"Um... Prez... you realize everyone's watching, right?" Asked Anthony, but he didn't get an answer... nor did Rias let him go. She just kept her eyes closed, and stayed wrapped in his arms.

Akeno was shocked the most. Rias had told her many times that she'd never... repeat, NEVER be interested in a man. In Rias' words; all men were the same horny, egotistical creatures and their was no way in hell she'd EVER fall for one... but looking at her now, and the way she acted around Anthony and not Kiba... 'No way, I can't believe it... Rias... is totally into him...'
