...

Ayato looked around confused as to why he was in an elegant Japanese room, expensive looking items around him before Asia's voice drew his attention "Ayato-san"

He turned to face her, surprised at seeing her dressed in a white kimono and sitting in a formal posture with her head bowed. Her eyes were teary as she continued "Thank you for everything you have done for me. Today, I, Asia, am going to become a bride."

'What…?' Ayato thought shocked.

"Sob, Asia-chan you have grown so much… you look beautiful!" Keiko spoke while crying with a smile as she looked at Asia before Rias spoke, wiping her own tears away

"Asia, you know that you can come back to us at any time, right?"

"Asia-chan, you can leave the rest to us." Akeno added in an emotional tone, Keiko noticing Ayato's confused look as she explained

"Hey Nii-kun, you should say something to Asia-chan. You adored her as well." Ayato turned as the door slide open, his eyes settling on Diodora Astaroth and a fierce snarl started to form on Ayato's face as Diodora spoke

"Nice to meet you, Onii-san. My name is Diodora Astaroth. I'm a High-class Devil and am super rich. Fufufu, you can leave Asia to me. I will definitely make her happy!" Black reiatsu formed around Yukio as his hands moved to grip his face, his eyes switching between normal colour and eerie yellow while everyone continued moving around him

"What a handsome man! Even when she starts getting on years she'll have a stable life." Keiko spoke with a smile before Rias and Akeno added

"I have every confidence in Diodora, I know I can leave Asia to him."

"Exactly."

"Now Asia, let's begin the ceremony. Let's head towards our bright future together!" Diodora spoke as he picked up Asia bridal style and started to walk off.

"Ah! You! I didn't say you could leave!" Ayato growled out, starting to move forwards as Asia just waves at him as she spoke

"Ayato-san! You've taken good care of me up to now! I will definitely attain happiness~!"

"Heh, you really gonna let this happen, you weakling" Arata's voice pierced the air, Ayato's reiatsu growing as he found the scene around him shift, his surroundings changing to what looked to be a large Japanese estate from the feudal era as his eyes shot wide as a chilling cry echoed through the air

"RRROOOAAAGGGHHH!"

Ayato spun around to see a short humanoid figure stepping out of a cloud of dust, bone white hands ending in three clawed fingers which also was the same case with there toes. A thick reptilian like tail swung around behind him, blood red at the bottom third while bone white the rest of the way. The mask was that of a Hollow's with blood red fangs and red line marks falling down to the cheeks while eerie yellow eyes looked almost dead to the world and two curled horns were on his forehead. There was a large hole in the centre of the Hollow's chest which went all the way through and silver hair flowed down its back to just below there shoulder blades.

The Hollow stalked forwards its arms swinging lifelessly at its sides before Keiko's voice drew Ayato's attention "Ay-Ayato-kun… why…? Why did this happen to you?"

Ayato's mouth opened as he looked around, recognising some of the people around him as members of his family, each littered with injuries to various degrees, before finally realising as Arata spoke up amused "Yep… This is where I was truly born… Out of rage and hate and fuelled by the despair and darkness that forever will lurk in your heart. This was my first outing you know…"

"I refuse to let you do this Nii-kun!" A younger looking Keiko shouted with tears falling from her eyes, assuming a battle stance as pink reiatsu exploded from out of her body. Hollow Ayato shot forwards with a shocking speed, one fist lashing out only for it to be blocked by Keiko, the mouth opening as a Cero grew in between his jaws.

Keiko dodged the blast which destroyed a wall behind her before launching a kick into Hollow Ayato's stomach and launching him into the air, which flipped in the air before landing on all fours like a wild animal, its mouth opening again as another, this time black with green edging, Cero formed fired from its mouth at a wide eyed and shocked Keiko.

Ayato awoke with panicked gasps, his whole body drenched in sweat as he stared wide eyes at the ceiling as he took in deep almost painful lungfuls of air. He knew it was obvious Keiko or someone had saved him back then but he had never known that had happened to him before today, unless his Hollow was playing tricks with him.

"Why would I play tricks, Ayato? I'm just showing you who you truly are" Arata cackled amused.

"A-Ayato-san. Are you okay?" Asia asked with concern, still in her pyjamas as Ayato's breathing started to calm down as he glanced to the clock to see it was early morning. Yukio asking in a gasping tone as pieces of the first part of his dream came flooding back

"…Asia, you're still here."

"Yes. I'm right here? You were calling my name in your sleep and then started shaking and sweating…I-I tried to wake you but you wouldn't wake" Asia spoke with a concerned voice as tears welled up in her eyes as she looked him over, her hands tightly clunching at his still shaking one. Ayato blinked in surprise as he noticed tears falling from his own eyes as he spoke in a soft tone

"I had a dream where you got married. *sniff* It was more painful than I thought." Ayato knew he couldn't talk about his Hollow side to Asia. She had been scared with just a small portion so he hated to see what would happen to her if she saw or heard of the form he'd taken as a child like he had just.

Asia looked confused before speaking with a smile on her face "Ayato-san you worry too much. It's okay. I'm not getting married any time soon."

"Really? I think I would die from loneliness if you left me you know?" Ayato spoke with a sad smile as he looked at Asia, who smiled brightly as she answered

"Yes. It would be a very serious thing if Ayato-san died of loneliness."

"…Unya." A voice came from under the moving sheets, Ayato blinking back what tears he had before Koneko woke up with a large yawn and dressed in only a white shirt, her hands coming up with wipe at her sleepy eyes before wrapping her arms around Ayato's waist and going back to sleep atop of his waist.

"…Nyan." Koneko muttered, her cat ears twitching while her tail traced patterns in the air. She'd moved in a few days after having to help Kiyome and Ayato had noticed that since then she would claim his lap for her seat as well as sneaking in and sleeping next to him.

"Anyway, I'm glad that Asia getting married was just a bad dream." Ayato spoke with a sigh as he wiped his forehead before patting Koneko's head absentmindedly.

"I seriously wish we can leave it as a dream." Rias spoke from where she sat holding a lot of letters while concerned glances kept shooting over to Ayato as he asked

"Are those letters?" Rias sighed as she nodded and answered

"Yes, the one who send them are - Diodora Astaroth. It looks like they're love letters. Not to mention the movie tickets, invitations to dinner and product tokens. He also left some big presents at the entrance. How many times has it been now?" Ayato scowled as he remembered that, gifts keeping showing up at his house for Asia from Diodora.

He also knew that Asia didn't know how to respond to Diodora's proposal at all and kept apologising to everyone every time a package came. A small smirk came to Ayato's face as he remembered destroying a few, himself, in a ball of dragon flames before Asia or the others could see them.

"Why can't he just leave us alone?" Ayato muttered angrily.

"I'm afraid that my daughter had been hiding a boyfriend who I've accepted now so this union will not be happening now" Kiyome's father spoke as he sat at a low table, the middle aged man with powder blue hair opposite him and his teenage son, who had matching hair, looking neutrally at him as the elder spoke with a sad smile

"That's a shame to hear but it's understandable. I, at least, hope that the Abe Clan and the Sagura Clan can get along still then, isn't that right Sosuke" The young man glanced to his father before nodding as he spoke with a polite smile

"I would like that as well Tou-san, Abe-san… I have other matters to attend to so I will take my leave" Both adults nodded in understanding, Sosuke standing before bowing and leaving the room.

Tbe moment he was out of view of both his father and Kiyome's father, Sosuke's face twisted in a dark scowl as he slammed a fist into the wall as he muttered "No…She's mine…I won't let her get away now…"

Ayato relaxed into the sofa in the living room, waiting for Georgia to get changed so that he could start showing her around the town as he hadn't got any contracts to go on tonight. Rias and the other members of the ORC were still at school and Keiko was working which meant the only people in the house were himself, Orihime and Georgia.

Closing his eyes, Ayato tried to dismiss the lingering thoughts of the 'memories' Arata had been showing him of his first, feeling the concern and worry from Sparda and Ddraig as they spoke up

{Don't worry Ayato. We won't let that happen again}

[Yeah, you have more control over your power then back then]

Ayato blinked in surprise, having felt a weight settle on his lap, finding Orihime looking concerned as she spoke "Are you alright Ayato-sama? I don't want you to be troubled"

"I'll be alright Orihime-san" Ayato spoke with a soft smile, Orihime frowning softly as she took hold of Yukio's hands and wrapped them around her waist as she mumbled

"I don't want to be left out, Ayato-sama…"

"What did you say…?" Ayato asked confused, Orihime blushing as she spoke a little louder

"I want Ayato-sama to kiss me…"Ayato blushed in surprise as he looked at Orihime's shy look as Ddraig smirked

[Go on... Do it!]

{She has been with you for a while now} Sparda added, Ayato smiling slightly as he nodded to her while caressing Orihime's cheek and making her blush as he spoke softly

"Alright…" Orihime blushed as Ayato slowly drew her into a light kiss, her hands holding the back of his head as she prolonged it for a minute before parting. Orihime's cheeks was flushed as she rested her head down on his chest, Ayato blushing nervously as he rested a hand atop of her head as he spoke

"You know if there's anything you want you can just ask me, Orihime-san…" She nodded, hugging him tighter as she smiled and drew him into another deeper kiss as footsteps came down the stairs as Georgia spoke

"I'm ready Ayato-san…" Georgia blushed as she watched the pair end there kiss, Orihime looking away shyly at seeing her in the room before moving from off his lap while Ayato sheepishly scratched the back of his head as he stood up and spoke

"Alright then, let's go… Want to come along Orihime-san?" Orihime looked surprised at the invitation, glancing to Georgia to see her looking disappointed at Ayato before nodding as she answered him

"I think I will. Thank you, Ayato-sama…"

Georgia blushed as she walked next to Ayato, both was in casual clothes her own being a light blue blouse and a pair of jeans while Ayato's was in black jeans and a red short sleeved shirt with a black leather jacket, Orihime was stood on his otherside dressed in a simple blouse and red skirt. The tour around the town felt like a date to Georgia and Orihime and even with the other there Ayato was avoiding showing favourites as he held there hands, much to the envy of other guys around them.

"Wow this is all so interesting…" Georgia spoke surprised, not having left the Underworld at all before staying with Ayato. Orihime was smiling with a blush on her cheeks as she looked around as she asked

"Can we have a look in some of the shops?"

"Yes please Ayato-san!" Georgia spoke eagerly, Ayato chuckling as he watched the two girls looking at him with puppy dog eyes as he nodded

"Yeah, it's fine with me" With that both girls looked to each other with a silent conversation before nodding as Ayato found himself pulled towards the nearest clothes shop.

Kiyome smiled as she walked around the estate of her home, checking in on the monsters that lived with her. She was whistling cheerfully at the fact her parents were staying for a while before going off on there next adventure, along with remembering what Ayato had done for her before and that he'd agreed to go out for dinner with her at some point.

Kiyome's eyes widened as she looked upon the injured spiderwoman before her, immediately rushing to check on her condition as she spoke "Hey are you alright?"

"Y-Yeah…" The off-white shoulder length haired spiderwoman spoke, piercing red eyes focusing on her before looking around to see no one was within close enough distance to stop what she was planning to do next as a small smirk formed on her face. White webbing shot from the spiderwoman wrists wrapping tightly around Kiyome before she could dodge as Takahashi's voice called out

"Ojou-sama!" The voice drew Kiyome's mother, her eyes widening at seeing the spiderwoman scuttling off with Kiyome tied up in some sort of rope play on her back.

"No! Kiyome-chan" Kiyome's mother called as she tried to run after them with Takahashi along side, only for several balls of webbing to shoot out from the spiderwoman's wrists and stick them to the ground.

Kiyome's mother shook in a mixture of anger, at recognising the spiderwoman as being one of the monsters under the control of the family Kiyome was intended to meet with before Ayato had won against her husband, and worry for her daughter, and what they would do to her if they found out she was a half breed, as she pulled her phone from out of her skirt pocket and quickly dialled a number from memory.

"Ayato-kun I need your help"

Ayato used his Sonido to cover the city easily after getting a call from Kiyome's mother who had explained that Kiyome had been kidnapped by a spiderwoman she knew to be working for the monster hunter family that she had been suppose to meet before his intervention.

Rias and the rest of the ORC had been in the middle of handling requests for the evening when Ayato got the call from Kiyome's mother, luckily not having a request for tonight as he was guiding Georgia and Orihime around town had them soon agree to come along with him. Georgia was using her wind magic to augment her speed to keep up, while Orihime had been using her feathered wings and fire magic to keep up.

Ayato had been surprised to hear that both of them had been training with Keiko & Haruka so they could fight better.

Currently the trio was standing outside a traditional Japanese estate, Ayato having followed Kiyome's aura to here as he jumped onto the wall as Georgia asked "Ayato-san isn't it rude to come in uninvited?"

"Well this is more a rescue mission then a typical meeting so it doesn't really matter" Ayato replied, Georgia nodding in understanding before jumping up onto the wall next to him while Orihime easily flew onto the wall as they looked over the compound.

"It looks too quiet, Ayato-sama" Orihime spoke concerned as she noticed Ayato nod with a frown as he hopped down into the grassy field, rolling his shoulders absentmindedly as he replied

"Come on… There's probably a trap somewhere for us…" Ayato frowned as he felt a similar energy to that of Yoshi and Balk, Georgia and Orihime landing gracefully on there feet behind him as Georgia asked concerned

"Is everything alright, Ayato-san?"

"I'm feeling something similar to that Yoshi I ran into helping Shinji… and that metal woman I fought with the others before that" Ayato spoke with a thoughtful tone, looking around as he let his scenes sweep the estate before focusing in the direction of a large farmyard style barn that sat near the back behind the large Japanese style home.

"Kiyome-san's this way" Ayato spoke as he started to jog towards the barn, the pair of girls hurried after him while looking around warily as Orihime spoke

"There should be other monsters here if this is a monster hunter's home"

"I guess they are all hiding at the moment" Ayato spoke thoughtfully as they approached the open sliding door of the barn, his eyes widening in shock at seeing Kiyome chained up with her hands abover her head and her legs chained to the ground, brown rabbit ears coming from her head while her arms and legs from the elbow and knees below were rabbit like with brown fur. She was wearing some sort of revealing bondage outfit and a choker around her neck as she called out in relief

"Yukio-kun!" Sosuke smirked from where he was standing before Kiyome, turning back to see Ayato, Orihime and Georgia as he spoke

"So you're Ayato… Not much to look at, are you"

"Release Kiyome-san now…" Ayato spoke as he pointed Rebellion at Sosuke who smirked, gripping Kiyome's ears and pulling her head up as he spoke

"Did you know that this bitch was a mongrel when she approached you? A half-breed Youkai just pretending to be human… To think you were suppose to be my wife, well now I'm going to make you my slave"

"Get the hell away from her before your family needs a new heir" Ayato shouted angrily as a Sub Zero Blue Violet aura erupted around him, hating that Sosuke was derespecting Kiyome just because she was a half breed, as he started to walk forwards, Sosuke smiling carefree as he clicked his fingers

"Oh, Yuri-chan come out and eat this annoying devil" From above a white scaled figure dropped, Ayato dodging the axe kick from the dragon monster girl whose dispondant crystal blue eyes settled on him as she started to lash out with punches and kicks which he dodged before raising Rebellion to cut her in half as Kiyome called out

" Ayato-kun, please just knock her out!" Ayato frowned slightly, dismissing the broadsword as he swung to punch her, missing as a small crater appeared in the ground before Ayato caught a kick with his other hand and landed a palm strike on the scales covering Yuri's stomach and launching her back.

Georgia turned to find herself surrounded by three brown scaled lizard men armed with serrated swords, drawing Red Queen from her back as she gathered wind and fire magic around the blade as she charged into fight them. Orihime took to the air to dodge the pair of Harpies that had swooped down on her, swirling flames around her hands as she fashioned them into claws as she started to fight with the Harpies in the air.

Ayato caught another one of Yuri's punches, his eyes noticing a weird red flower protruding from the top of her head as he landed a chop on her neck and knocking her out, the flower disappearing almost instantly. Ayato set Yuri on the ground by one of the walls, turning back to Sosuke who looked shocked before two other figures dropped from the roof of the barn.

Both looked to be Tiger Yokai with orange and black striped fur and muscular builds, also both having the same flower on there head and dispondant eyes. They charged after a moment's waiting, Ayato slipping into a defensive stance as he blocked and deflected there punches and kicks before Spartan kicking one of them into a wooden pillar of the barn. Turning Ayato threw a punch into the gut of the other Yokai, noticing Georgia flinging the last of the Lizardmen into the ground by using a wind and earth magic.

"How can you be this strong…? You're just a Devil aren't you?" Sosuke spoke in fear as he backed away, Kiyome's smile growing at seeing Ayato only knocking out his opponents as he replied

"Only a Devil? You really didn't do your homework did you? I am the Seishinryuutei, Kurozakuro Ayato" Sosuke's face dropped as he looked at Ayato in a new and scared light before calling

"Mibashi! You said you could insure my monsters could win against him"

"I only said I could ensure they wouldn't betray you, Sagura-san" Another male voice spoke, Ayato turning to see an orange haired man step out fo the shadows, guessing that was Mibashi, as his eyes narrowed at feeling the similar energy to Yoshi as he asked

"So you are the one controlling these monsters…? What is your connection to Yoshi and Kuga?" Mibashi smirked as he looked at Ayato, his one visible eye narrowing as he replied

"No. The possession was done by my Doll, Ritz. As for me I'm a part of the same group as those two" Ayato finally noticed the flower looking mouse that was sitting in Mibashi's hand as he drew Rebellion and pointing at Mibashi as he asked

"Doll…? What are you?"

"We are the Bount, Kurozakuro Ayato…" Another male voice spoke behind him, Ayato turning to see a white haired muscular man with red eyes who was standing between the prone forms of Georgia and Orihime as Ayato changed Rebellion into Kurokamitsu as the man continued

"Mibashi, why has your experiment taken so long...? You were only supposed to test how many beings your Doll could possess not get yourself involved with this brat's delusions of grandure."

"Hey!" Sosuke called annoyed, only for a trio of glares shut him up before Mibashi replied

"It has been improved in terms of numbers to fifteen, Kariya-sama. I was just testing out there abilities against the half breed here" Ayato frowned as he looked to see if Orihime and Georgia was alright, sighing in relief at seeing them breathing, before glancing back to where Kiyome was still chained up as he asked seriously

"What are you planning to do to Soul Society?"

"Hm, what would that have to do with someone who's had his ties cut from there since you were young?" Kariya asked with a small amused smile, Ayato taking a ready stance as he replied

"I will not allow your group affect what good they do for the world"

"I would be wary of what you say when I have two of your girls so close to me" Kariya snorted back, surprised as Ayato disappeared from view before appearing in front of Kiyome with Orihime and Georgia being held in an arm each as he gently set them down next to the half-Yokai who he then snapped the chains on her as he asked in a concerned tone

"Are you alright?"

"I am now, Ayato-kun" Kiyome spoke with an embarrassed face as she rubbed her wrists, Ayato nodding as he turned back to Kariya and Mibashi as he stated with a smirk

"You don't have any bargaining chips now…"

"Impressive… but you really think you can win against me with speed alone" Kariya spoke, Ayato summoning Kurokamitsu to his hand as his reiatsu started to grow around him as he looked serious

"I guess we'll find out!" With that Ayato shot forwards, swinging Amonusen over his head only for it to be met with Kariya's hand and a blast of wind slamming into his body and forcing him back. Ayato activated [Boosted Gear] with out a second thought as he charged forwards from the air.

[Boost]

A large tornado covered Kariya and Mibashi from view as Ayato stopped his charge, the wind disappearing after a few moments to reveal that both of the Bount members had disappeared as Ayato gritted his teeth as he dismissed Amonusen and muttered

"Damn it…"

{At least we know what there group is called now…} Sparda spoke up thoughtfully as Ddraig added

[Still doesn't explain what they want. At least the girls are safe]

"Thank you Ayato-kun" Kiyome spoke with a bright smile, glomping onto Ayato and pulling him into a sudden kiss as his arms wrapped around her waist as he kissed back subconsciously. Kiyome pulled back with a red face, Ayato looking embarrassed as he replied

"Don't worry about it…"

" Ayato-san…?" Georgia asked with a groan, Ayato letting go of Kiyome as he crouched down to her as he spoke

"You're alright now" Georgia smiled with a blush as she got back up, Orihime soon following as Kiyome hid her rabbit features from view as the quartet started to leave.

...

"You should have told us about what had happened, Ayato, we could've helped?" Rias spoke seriously, Ayato nodding as he answered with a sigh

"I know but if I hadn't of gone over there as soon as it happened who knows what would have happened to Kiyome-san" Currently the pair was walking home from school, Ayato having gone to tell Rias what had happened after he'd taken Kiyome home. Orihime and Georgia had headed back home ahead of him as he stopped by the clubroom to explain things.

"At least Abe-sempai is safe now" Asia spoke from his other side while smiling, Rias nodding in agreement as they came to a stop outside of there home to see a delivery van parked up and a man holding a small pile of boxes walking towards the front door.

"Excuse me? Who are those for?" Ayato asked curiously, breaking off from the girls as he rushed over to the man who replied while looking at a list

"Argento Asia-san..."

"Oh, I'll take those then" Ayato spoke, heading to the door and opening before accepting the parcels and signing the paper before taking them inside. Noticing Asia and Rias entering behind him as he checked over the boxes before frowning at seeing they were all from Diodora.

" Ayato what are you going to do with those" Rias asked nervously as she felt his spiritual aura start to seep out, Asia looking curious as they, Akeno, Xenovia and Koneko followed him into the backgarden. Ayato grinned eagerly as he threw them into the air before pointing his hand at the flying parcels as he called "Hadō #54. Haien"

The purple blast of flames destroyed the parcels easily, Ayato patting his hands before answering "Oh, just taking out some trash..."

Asia looked down saddened that she was bringing trouble onto the others before Ayato put an arm around her shoulders as he spoke "Don't worry about it, Asia-san... This'll be all over soon and Diodora won't bother you again"

"Nii-kun, we have a guest so come up here and meet them!" Keiko called out, Ayato blinking surprised before heading back inside to see Kiyome smiling nervously next to Keiko as Rias spoke shocked

"Kiyome what are you doing here?"

"My...my parents want me to stay here as it would be easier for Ayato-kun to protect me from Sagura-san or anyone lese who might come after me" Kiyome answered while blushing with a smile, Yukio looking surprised as the girls looked shocked at her before Keiko spoke

"Nii-kun can you take her bags upstairs to her room"

"Alright then, Keiko-nee… Follow me Kiyome-san"Ayato spoke with a smile, taking several bags from before the brunette and heading towards the stairs, Kiyome following him as Rias and the other girls started to wonder what to do with the new rival.

...

Ayato yawned as he sat back on his chair, the nightmares had continued since Arata showed him his awakening and even spread into some of the looks and comments his father's family had made about him due to being a half Shinigami Blazer.

"Staying up all night with Asia?" Kiryu asked with a perverted smile, Ayato shaking his head as he muttered back

"Had a nightmare... How was your summer, Kiryu-san?"

"It was alright... By the way, Ayato-san, lately Asia acts weird at times, do you know the reason for that?" Kiryu asked curiously, Ayato frowning as he remembered Asia was having trouble in class because of being worried about Diodora. Asia noticed Yukio looking at her, smiling stiffly before noticing Kiryu's suspicious look at him as he asked

"What is it?"

"No, it's just that since entering the second term your popularity with girls has increased from before"

"Really?" Ayato asked surprised, Kiryu smirking slightly as she explained

"Your face has become more serious, and even your eyes. I can tell that your body has become quite muscular as well and even some of the girls are saying you've become more wild"

"Really...? I guess it's the working out I've done over the summer" Ayato replied with a sheepish smile as he rubbed the back of his neck, Kiryu's smirk growing before one of the other guys in there class rushed in and called

"H-Hey! This is urgent!" He gulped down some water, his friend had handed him before speaking out to everyone clearly

"There are three transfer students coming! They're all girls!" A beat of silence passed amongst the classroom before everyone shouted in shock

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!?"

Ayato took a moment to focus his senses, picking up the three new students approaching the classroom with the teacher as most of the guys in the class attempted to smarten their appearance up to give a good impression while the girls shaking there heads in disbelief.

{That's Irina...} Sparda spoke in a sure tone, Ayato mentally nodding back as Ddraig added with a pervy smile

[Those two Fallen Angel twins are with her as well]

'Kotake and Kotume' Ayato thought surprised, having not seen them since after the Ratings Game when Azazel introduced them to him.

"Um, it might be unusual during this time of year but three new students will be joining us." The teacher spoke as he entered the room, everyone excited while the guys were tense to find out what they looked like.

"Come in." The teacher spoke, the trio of girls entering the room as Ayato frowned at seeing Irina, who now had her hair in twintails, while the guys shouted in joy. Glancing around he saw Xenovia and Asia was both shocked at seeing her here as Irina bowed her head and introduced herself with a big smile

"My name is Shidou Irina. Everyone, let's get along!" Kotake and Kotume smiled, ableit the latter more nervously as they introduced themselves

"My name is Asami Kotake"

"My name is Asami Kotume"

"Please look after us" They finished together, Ayato sure he heard several thuds behind him as he tried to suppress his blush at how attractive they looked in the school uniform before noticing Irina frowning at him which was answered by a cold look of his own as she looked down ashamed.

...

"Come with me for a sec, please Ayato -kun" Irina spoke as she took hold of Ayato's hand and pulled him out of the room,Ayato noticing Asia, Xenovia and Georgia following after him before they ended up away from the other students in there class.

"It has been a while Ayato-kun, and also Xenovia!" Irina spoke happily as she hugged Xenovia as she added

"Xenovia! I'm glad you are doing okay! It might be awkward due to our positions but I'm truly happy!"

"Yes, it has been a while Irina. I'm glad you are doing alright yourself. Is it punishment that the cross you are wearing is giving some minor damage to me…?" Xenovia replied with a smile, Ayato leaning against the wall as Xenovia asked

"What brings you here?"

"I transferred here by Michael-sama's order. I will give more details after the lectures. I will be in the old-school building, okay?" Irina answered while making a cute wink, Yukio pulling out his phone so he could text Rias

-Shidou Irina came, did you know about it?-

-Yes, it was suddenly determined to turn like that. I will introduce you to her with a proper explanation after the lectures, so please look after her until then. She is a transfer student after all- Was Rias' response as Irina looked sadly at him as she spoke

"Ayato-kun…I hope you can forgive me about before"

"You know what I've been through, Irina-san. I expected you to act better then them especially since you were the one who taught me not the believe rumours or judging a group by the actions of a single person. Don't just think you can just apologize and that will fix everything" Ayato replied, drawing confused looks from Asia and Xenovia as Irina nodded sadly as she spoke

"I will make it up to you, Ayato-kun"

"Ayato-san!" Kotake and Kotume called, Ayato giving the pair a smile as he asked

"I'm surprised you two were starting today, was it Azazel-sensei's doing?"

Kotume blushing shyly as she nodded, Kotake nodded as she answered "Yeah…Officially we're here as his assistants."

"B-But we volunteered because…" Kotume added, looking at him nervously as Ayato blushed as he rubbed the back of his head as he replied

"Well, I'll do my best to help you out here, alright?" Asia, Georgia, Xenovia and Irina smiling to varying degrees before Kotake knocked her sister against Ayato , the latter hugging the former to avoid either of them falling over as Kotake giggled and Kotume's face turned bright red.

Once classes were over, everyone gathered in the clubroom, including Azazel, Sona and Saji, to greet Irina Kotake and Kotume.

"Shidou Irina-san. Asami Kotake. Asami Kotume, I welcome you all to our school." Everyone greeted, Ayato wondering at what point his lap had become a personal seat for Koneko.

"Yes! Everyone! Well, there are people I'm meeting for the first time but most of you I have met before. My name is Shidou Irina! Church…. No, I came here to Kuou academy as a messenger of the angels!" Irina explained to everyone before Kotake added

"Kotume and I are here to act as Azazel-sama's assistants but that is only the official story." Everyone gave the trio applause while bitter smiles as Irina began her speech, Ayato leaning over to Xenovia as he whispered

"H-Hey Xenovia"

"Why are you speaking in a low voice?"

"Irina doesn't know about the death of God right?"

"At least she didn't know about it when she parted with me." Xenovia answered quietly, Ayato guessing Irina would know about it if she had been sent on a mission from Heaven before looking shocked as Azazel asked instantly

"You do know about the death of "God from the Bible" right?"

"Oi! You can't suddenly ask her something like that out of the blue!" Ayato spoke as he pointed at Azazel, who just sighed as he replied

"Idiot. If she's here then she received the mission while knowing all about it. Listen, this place is one of the most important places among the territory of the Three Great Powers alliance. If someone affiliated comes here, then it means they are stepping foot in while having basic knowledge of it." Irina nodded before Ayato added

"I know that! But you should at least have some tact about it"

"Of course Governor-sama of the Fallen-Angels. Don't worry Ayato-kun. I already know about the absence of the Lord." Irina answered with a sad smile, Ayato calming down

"You are quite tough. I never thought Irina, who has such a strong belief in the teachings, would come here without being shocked at all." Xenovia spoke as tears started to come from her eyes, Irina soon following as she shouted

"Of course I'm shocked! My spiritual support! The centre of the world! Father of many creation dieeeeeeed!? I was living while believing in all of the teachings so I spent 7 days and 7 nights sleeping when I heard the truth from Michael-sama! Aaaaaaaaaaaaah, Lord!" Irina hugged onto the table as Ayato sweatdropped. His family had never been religious even though he knew of the existence of Shinigami Fallen angels, Dragons and Devils when he was a child, although he didn't like looking back on those times.

"I understand how you feel."

"I know."

Asia and Xenovia said gently to Irina, the trio hugging each other as Ayato smiled to himself. Asia and Xenovia still prayed to God till this day, still feeling grateful to God

"Asia-san! I'm sorry for calling you a witch last time! I even said horrible things to Xenovia when we said our goodbyes! I'm sorry!" Irina apologizes to Asia and Xenovia, Ayato's smile growing as he watched the trio.

"I don't mind. I'm hoping we can get along since we all love the same Lord."

"Same as me. That was also my fault for acting without thinking properly. I turned into a devil immediately after all. But I'm happy that we are reunited like this."

"Ah, Lord!" The three spoke as they started to pray, Ayato guessing this was the Church Trio as they had all reached an understanding.

"Can I assume that you are Michael's messenger?" Azazel asked, Irina nodding as she answered

"Yes Azazel-sama. Michael-sama was troubled because not a single person from the Heaven's side is here. He said it's a problem if none of the staff is in this area."

"Oh yeah, Michael did say something like that. This location is active with the power of those from either Heaven or the Underworld, but the ones who are actually working here are Rias and Sona Sitri's group, and a small number of other people including myself. Well, it's functioning enough with us but Michael said something so serious that he thinks someone from Heaven should also work here and said he would send someone. Heaven has already given a lot of support which is more than we can ask for. I said we don't need anyone but he said that he won't accept that and the one he decided to send is her." Azazel replied with a sigh, Ayato understanding that the territory was only holding Devils and half Fallen Angels, even Shinigami blazers if he and Keiko and Haruka were included as being more then there devil sides.

Irina suddenly got up and started to pray, her body starting to glow and white wings appeared from her back. Everyone looking shocked as Azazel asked calmly while putting his hand under his chin "-Your name is Shidou Irina correct? Did you go through the angel transformation?"

"Angel transformation? I guess that would be possible if the [Evil Pieces] are around right?" Ayato asked Azazel who nodded

"Yeah, I guess the scientists of Heaven and the Underworld have been discussing theories involving those"

"Yes. I received Michael-sama's blessing and became a reincarnated angel. I heard that the Seraphs used the technologies of the Devils and Fallen-Angels and made it possible. Four Great Seraphs and other Seraphs. The total of ten Seraphs decided to have twelve subordinates called [Brave Saints] each with a position from an "Ace" to a "Queen" of the cards. The cards of King will be the position of the Angel-sama who would be the master." Irina started to explain, Azazel looking interested as he spoke

"So Ayato-kun was right, the Evil Pieces' technologies were used and the artificial Sacred Gears from the Fallen Angels, huh. Man, Heaven sure did create an interesting thing right after we gave them our technology. If the devils are chess, then the angels are cards, huh. Well, cards also have the meaning of "trump card" in them. After God's death the increase of pure angels became impossible. So increasing the number of reincarnated angels would connect to strengthen their forces."

"If you are using such a system then it seems like there will be someone strong called a Joker hiding. The twelve members also represent the twelve apostles. Man he sure does entertain me, that Elder Angel-sama." Azazel started to laugh before Ayato asked curiously

"So what card are you then, Irina?"

"I'm an Ace! Fufufu, as Michael-sama's Ace. I received an honorable position! I can even die! Even if the Lord is gone, I can continue to live if I'm Michael-sama's Ace!" Irina answered confidently while her eyes glittered, the symbole of an Ace on her hand.

"So the new support of your life is Michael-san, huh." Ayato spoke with a sigh in relief, Xenovia then adding

"Yes. It's better than losing yourself"

"Also Michael-sama said he can see a special Rating Game between evil-pieces and Brave Saints happening in the future! He also said that right now only the angels of Seraph has them but in the near future High-level angel-sama besides the Seraph would be given this system and is hoping them to battle each other just like the Rating Games of the devils!" Irina added in a joyful tone which made everyone look shocked while Azazel was impressed as he spoke

"There are those among angels and devils who are against the decision made by the top people. We had a relationship where we had wars against each other for a very long time, so there would be those who feel uneasy if we suddenly tell them to get along. But Michael sure has thought about it. Like that, he's preparing a representative war where they can make their arguments into battle techniques and they can release them. It's just like the World Cup or Olympics of the human world."

"Then would it be possible for us, the Gremory group, and the game system used by the angels to have a battle?" Ayato spoke with a smile, Azazel twitching his neck as she replied

"Maybe in the future it will. Even if I say that, not right away. At least ten years…..or maybe twenty years. Well, around then would be a good time for you devil rookies and you will be able to enjoy it."

"Looks like we are able to enjoy it." Kiba spoke with interest.

"C-Churches are scary…" Gasper spoke troubled; Ayato guessing it was to do with the churches still continuing with vampire hunts.

"Let's stop these types of discussions here and start today's welcoming party for you three" Sona spoke with a smile, Saji smirking himself as Irina spoke to everyone

"All of the devils! I have been looking at you as my enemy and have been eliminating some! But Michael-sama said "We have to get along with them from now on, okay?", so I also hope I can get along with everyone! The truth is I personally wanted to get along with everyone! I would like to work hard as the representative of the Church! Please take care of me!"

After that the student council members also joined the welcoming party which began, Ayato and Saji getting pulled into playing a few acoustic songs they knew while everyone enjoyed the party.

Ayato sighed as he set down the large box of machine parts, looking around the underground laboratory as Kotake spoke with a smile "Thanks for helping us, Ayato -san, Azazel-sama can get really messy at times especially with all the new parts he orders in"

"Its no problem, Kotake-san" Ayato replied, wiping the sweat from his forehead as he looked over to see Kotume wobbling with a tall box in her hands. Quickly grabbing it form her Ayato smiled as he spoke to her

"Let me handle the large ones, Kotume-san…"

"A-Alright, A-Ayato-san" Kotume replied embarrassed, Kotake's smile growing as she watches Ayato easily take the tall box and set it with the pile of other parts for Azazel's latest project.

...

A few days had passed since Irina had transferred in and currently Ayato was sitting in homeroom while they decided the people who would participate in the Sports Festival.

"Yes yes! I will do the "Item borrowing race"!" Irina spoke as she raised her hand high, Ayato smiling despite still being annoyed at her previous treatment of Asia as Irina had quickly settled into class due to her energetic nature.

Also he had noticed that when Asia, Xenovia and Irina started a girl talk it was really hard to enter the conversation and if Koneko or Orihime joined in Ayato felt left out, especially since he was the only guy in the whole house. The same was true with Rias, Akeno, Kiyome and Georgia and Ayato would admit he had taken a step back since he had moved to Hagun and would listen to music in his room or talk with Sparda, Ddraig and even Arata for some company.

"Kurozakuro?" Kiryuu called, standing in front of the blackboard as Ayato asked curiously

"Yes?"

"Would you do the three-legged race as well as the bread-eating race?" Kiryuu asked, a small smirk on her face as Ayato nodded and replied

"Yeah, I don't mind… Who's my partner for it?"

"You will be doing the three-legged race. Your partner is…." Kiryu spoke, pointing her chalk towards Asia who held her hand up timidly as she added

"We will have you and Asia do the three-legged race."

The next day, the whole Academy was practicing for the Sports Festival. Ayato's class was currently practicing on the school grounds, dressed in there tracksuits.

"I challenge you Xenovia!"

"Bring it on Irina!"

Irina and Xenovia called before starting to run across the grounds, Ayato rolling his eyes amused as his fellow classmates cheered them both on.

[Shame they are moving to fast to see there Oppai move] Ddraig grumbled, Arata adding with a disappointed grumble

"Yeah…"

{I can't believe that is what you two are thinking about at this time} Sparda spoke with a deep sigh, Ddraig arching an eyebrow as he asked

[What are we suppose to think about then, Sparda?]

'What Diodora is trying to pull would be a good start' Ayato mentally answered, partly cursing Isa and Ddraig for taking control of his eyes which were focused on Irina and Xenovia movements and the interesting things it was doing to there chests.

"Hey Ay"

"Hey Gen"

Saji spoke with a smile which Ayato returned as he turned to him and catching the toolbox he was holding as Saji asked

"What are you doing?"

"Practicing for the Sports Festival…"

"That's going to be fun…"

"Still got those black snake marks?" Ayato replied as he glanced at the bandage around Saji's arm.

"Yeah… When I connected to you in the last game, I gained more then just part of your Hollow and I've been influenced by the Sekiryuutei as well, well that's what Azazel-sensei said" Saji explained with a sheepish look.

"Nothing badder then what we knew before then?" Ayato asked, Saji shaking his head as he replied

"No, it seems like it doesn't have a bad influence. It's just that it's appearing on my body. Like this, for example." Saji removed the bandages to show a small jewel that was coming from out of his arm, Ayato looking it over before speaking with a small smirk

"…Maybe you got cursed?"

"Don't say something which I was having concerns about… Did you know that Vritra didn't leave that much of a good legend?" Saji cried out, Yukio rolling his eyes at his friend acting upset before commenting

"He's probably not that bad, Gen"

"I guess so… He is one of the Dragon Kings" Saji mused before asking Yukio

"So, what will you do for the Sports Festival?"

"I'm doing the three-legged race with Asia and the bread-eating race."

"Well, good luck then. I'm doing the bread-eating race as well and I won't lose to you, Ay" Saji spoke with challenging smirk with Ayato returned before Sona and Tsubaki appeared and spoke

"Saji what are you doing? We will be checking the setting of each of the tents, so follow us quickly."

"We, the student council, lack manpower anyways so please work."

"Sorry… I was just asking what Ay was doing in the sports festival, Kaichou, Fukukaichou" Saji replied while sheepishly scratching the back of his head and heading towards them, Ayato chuckling as he shook his head for a moment before Ddraig spoke up

[-Vritra aye.]

'What about him?' Yukio asked curiously, Ddraig shaking his head as he replied

[No. Don't worry about it. But it looks like the direct contact with me has fastened it greatly. No matter how many pieces his soul was cut into, it will be a different story when it has a "start".]

'You mean that Vritra might wake up?' Ayato asked, Ddraig shrugging as he replied

[I guess so… Anyway close to you, there are Fafnir and Vritra and you have met with Tannin…. It looks like you have strong ties with each of the Dragon-Kings.]

{All we have left to meet would be Yu Long and Tiamat…} Sparda spoke up, Ddraig shuddering as he groaned

[Please let's not talk about her]

"Asia! Did your oppai develop during the summer holiday?"

"Kyaa! Kiryuu-san! Please don't grope them!"

Kiryuu smirked as she groped Asia, making the blonde scream as Ayato sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose before approaching the pair as he spoke "Let's practice Asia!"

"Y-Yes!" Asia spoke red faced and head down while Kiryuu rushed over to Ayato as he glanced around to see people having trouble with being attached to someone else. Asia and Ayato soon closed the distance between them, the latter tying the rope around his left and Asia's right before standing up as he spoke

"Okay, let's take it at our own pace Asia" Asia nodded embarrassed as she put her hand around Ayato's waist while Yukio did the same to her as he started off slow

"Now left leg first…" Asia's gaze was focused on there legs with a confused expression as she asked

"Ayato-san, you can't move your left leg…"

"Well I intend to keep pace with you so all I need to do is move the opposite leg, alright?" Ayato explained, Asia nodding in understanding before moving her left leg forwards, seeing Ayato move his right instead as he spoke

"Right…"

Making there next movement, Asia tumbled only to feel Ayato grab her and manage to fix there balance as he sighed in relief as he spoke "It's alright… we just have to get in rhythm with each other, Asia-san"

[Nice save] Ddraig spoke with a perverted tone.

"Very nice save" Arata spoke with a lecherious smirk before Sparda shot back

{Shut up, he was only avoiding Asia getting hurt}

'What the hell…?' Ayato thought confused before looking down to see Asia's face bright red as his right hand was holding onto her breast

"S-Sorry!" Ayato spoke embarrassed as he pulled his hand away, Asia looking embarrassed at him as she replied

"…I-It's alright. I'm okay. But please tell me you will touch them beforehand…. I also need to get ready for it…."

"L-Let's just continue our practice then." Ayato spoke after taking a moment to calm down, Asia nodding as she replied in sad tone

"Y-Yes. But I'm sorry. I'm not that good with sports."

"Don't worry. We just need to have the same rhythm. It's teamwork." Ayato replied while patting her on the head, making Asia blush cutely as she asked curiously

"T-Teamwork?"

"Yeah teamwork…. It's like when I perform as a band with the Gen and the other guys; we're all following the same rhythm so we know what's coming up next in the song or who'll be singing next" Ayato explained with a relaxed smile, Asia nodding in understanding as she spoke

"Oh that makes sense"

"How are you two settling in then?" Ayato asked, Kotake and Kotume as they, Asia, Xenovia and Irina walked towards the clubroom, the Fallen Angels twins offer smiles as they spoke, Kotake first

"It's great… the girls are really nice"

"It's good… although the guys keep staring at us"

"If any of them try and do something to you, just let me know and I'll sort them out" Ayato replied with a smile, drawing a blush from Kotume while Kotake smiled brighter.

Entering into the room, Ayato noticed that the other members were all there, wearing serious expressions as he decided to ask "Did something happen?"

"Yes. Our next opponent for the Youth Devil Rating Game has been decided." Rias answered, Ayato wondering how that would bring out such a reaction from everyone else until he heard Rias add

"Our next opponent is….Diodora Astaroth." Ayato's face turned serious at hearing that, clenching his fists.

"Then let's try it again" Ayato spoke, Asia beaming a smile as she cheered

"Yes!"

"One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four." Asia spoke softly to herself as she and Ayato practiced for the three legged race, a headphone in her ear providing her and Ayato a steady beat for them to move to during there morning practice with Xenovia, Kotake and Kotume.

"It looks like you're becoming synced with each other" Kotume spoke with a small smile as she watched the pair move, Kotake nodding as she added

"Yeah, the music looks like it really helping you both"

"Yes. You guys have quite a good rhythm now. Now let's have you guys run as if it's the actual race." Xenovia spoke while fixing the rope on the pair's legs, Ayato noticing that Asia seemed a bit gloomy as he thought

'She must be having trouble considering we're going to be fighting Diodora'

"Asia, tell me what is concerning you." Ayato asked concerned, Asia putting on a confused face before taking a few moments to think before replying

"…I don't regret saving that person back then."

Ayato remembered about Asia saving a wounded devil when she was part of the church and due to that she was made a heretic and cast out, the devil who had caused all of that was Diodora. Ayato knew there was something fishy about why Diodora had been near a church in the first place.

{Diodora has a well used fake smile. What ever he has planned for Asia is no good} Sparda commented, making Ayato frown more before Asia asked as she looked at his face

"…Ayato-san?" Ayato blinked as he focused back onto Asia's concerned look as she continued

"You had a very serious expression just now…You also looked sad…"

"…Hey Asia, if you were able to get your old lifestyle back, what would you do?" Ayato asked curiously, Asia looking shocked as Yukio's hand tightened its hold on her own

"I won't go back." Asia spoke with a smile instantly as she continued

"I have asked Ayato-san once before. I asked you "Can I stay by Ayato-san's side forever?"…Ayato-san, you said "Yes", to me. I like this place. I also like Hagun Academy and the Occult Research Club. I also like Buchou-san, Akeno-san, Georgia-san, Kiyome-san, Sensei, Kiba-san, Xenovia-san, Koneko-chan, Gasper-kun, Irina-san,Stella-chan, Mio-chan and Shizuku-san. I also love… Ayato-san and Keiko-neesan and Haruka-neesan and Aunt Kurono. The new life I started in this city is something very important, and something I greatly love which makes it so wonderful."

"You really are an idiot" Arata commented while rolling his eyes, Ayato smiling as he looked at her as he spoke

"Yeah, Asia-san and I will always be together! I also won't allow you to get married! Asia-san, don't think too much about Diodora. No matter what happens, you know that you can say no if you don't like it?" Asia looked puzzled for a moment before smiling as she nodded

"Yes."

"…Asia. I want to apologise to you once again. The first time I met you, I said harsh things to you. I still regret it even now. ….Asia, you treat me kindly. You said I'm your f-f-friend…." Xenovia said with an apologetic smile, her face red. Asia taking hold of Xenovia's hand and replying with a big smile

"Yes. Xenovia-san and I are friends." Xenovia's eyes moistened at hearing that before before she responded

"Thank you. Thank you, Asia."

"Uuuuuu! It really is touching…"

"I know…"

"That's really sweet" Irina, Kotume and Kotake spoke with teary eyes as the former approached them, Ayato quickly wiping tears from his eyes before asking

"Yeah… Irina-san, you also came?"

"Uuu, yes. Xenovia invited me… She said "Mornings at Hagun Academy also feel good". And when I arrived, I saw this beautiful friendship. This also must be because of the guidance of the Lord and Michael-sama…" Irina answered deeply moved as she started to pray to the sky.

"If I remember, you haven't joined the Occult Research Club right?" Ayato asked curiously, Irina nodding in response as she replied

"Yes. I decided to join another club. Or rather, I decided to make one personally!"

"Hmm, so you are going to start up a club, huh. So what's the name and description of the club?"Ayato asked curiously, Irina puffing up her chest with pride as she spoke loudly

"Ufufu, be shocked by hearing its name! The club name is "Shidou Irina's salvation of love club"! The description is simple! We will help those in need without receiving anything in return! Aaaah, I will be spreading my love to the sinful pagans for the Lord and Michael-sama since I hold strong belief in our teachings!"

Ayato sweatdropped at seeing Irina making a weird pose while pr

aying to the sky, her eyes glittering lively before Ayato commented unsure "…Okay then… Yeah. Well, do your best."

"Leave it to me! Of course I will help out the Occult Research Club when it needs it! This time I will be helping out the Occult Research Club with the race between clubs because of Rias-san's request!" Irina replied while banging a fist against her chest.

"How many people are there in your club?" Ayato asked curiously, Irina smiling as she replied

"It's still only me! Thanks to that it is only thought of as an association of like-minded people, so there are restrictions on the activities and funds given. I will have to start by convincing Sona-kaichou first."

"So it's decided that I will be put in the Occult Research Club for now."

"Putting that aside, let's resume our practice" Ayato spoke calmly, deciding to avoid pointing out that she was a part of the ORC as Xenovia and Irina joined the practice for the three legged race as did Kotake and Kotume.

"Fuu. I am a bit tired." Asia spoke while pulling on her tracksuit, Ayato stretching his arms above his head as he stood in the gymnasium storage room after putting away the rope they had been using, turning towards the door as he started to leave only for it to slam shut at the hands of Xenovia and Kotake while Kotume fidgeted with a blush on her face.

"What's wrong Xenovia-san, Kotake-san?" Asia asked confused, Xenovia looking serious as she replied

"Asia, I heard that girls our age start to flirt with others during this period… Isn't that right Kotake?"

"Oh course! That does happen a lot"

"F-Flirt?" Asia asks hesitantly while Kotume blushed as Xenovia replies clearly

"It means you get your breast played around with by a boy." Ayato looking surprised while Kotake grinned about to add only for Asia to exclaim while her face was beet red

"B-B-Breast…!"

"Onee-san that's not right" Kotume spoke in a hushed embarrassed tone, Kotake patting her on the shoulder as she whispered

"You want to get closer to Ayato-san don't you…?"

"Xenovia! Don't suddenly start a conversation like that!" Ayato spoke up, feeling Ddraig and Arata getting annoyed at him only for Xenovia to shoot back

"Yukio, be quiet for a bit. I will talk to Asia first. Your role will come after that. I'm sorry, but can you start your warm up in the corner of the room? It will become very intense from here."

'What the hell?' Ayato thought, swearing that Ddraig and Arata was grinning like idiots as Xenovia continued

"There is a girl in our class who has her breasts being played every day by her boyfriend. I researched quite a lot with Kotake's help"

"Oh yeah, loads of girls were talking about it" Kotake added with a smirk as Kotume blushed, Xenovia put her hands on Asia's shoulders and spoke with a serious face

"Asia. Don't you think it's a good time for us to also experience it?"

"A-Auuuuu….! E-Even if you suddenly say that…" Asia spoke in a troubled tone before Xenovia added

"It's okay. It might be a bit ticklish at first, but I heard it's something that feels very good afterwards. If you do that, then you guys will be able to perform better in the three-legged race."

"…Is "combination" formed by doing that…?" Asia asked confused, Kotume covering her red face with her hands while Xenovia smiled and spoke

"Asia… you, me, Kotake and Kotume are friends."

"Yes." Asia spoke with a smile, Xenovia nodding as she continued

"Let's also "flirt" together as well. It won't be scary if we do it together."

"…Y-Yes? I-Is that so…?" Asia stuttered, Xenovia looking to Yukio as she spoke

"Then let's do it. I will also be practising making babies as well."

"You can't do that here" Kotume spoke shocked, Kotake quickly countered her sister

"Oh come on Sis, baby making can be done anywhere"

"Hold on! Now is not the time or the place for this!" Ayato spoke up while taking a step back from the approaching girls.

"Wussy~"

[Just shut up and take it] Arata and Ddraig spoke together with perverted looks as Xenovia took off her shirt to reveal her bra covered chest before quickly unhooking her bra and releasing her breasts. Ddraig and Arata whistling in appreciation as Ayato tried to look away only for the two perverts to stop him.

"They are breasts which I haven't had anyone touch except Ayato, do you still remember how they feel?" Xenovia asked, Ayato's cheeks heating up at the memory of what had happened at the pool changing room.

"You too Asia" Xenovia added as she took hold of Asia's tracksuit while the blonde protested timidly

"B-But…..My heart still isn't ready yet…."

"Don't forget me, Ayato-kun" Kotake called as she bounced towards him already topless while Kotume was also topless while rushing after with an embarrassed face as she cried out

"Onee-san, give me back my blouse!"

"It's okay Asia. If you are nervous, should I do it with Ayato first? You will understand how to do it by looking at me, Kotake and Ayato, and you will be both ready and up for it." Xenovia spoke, Asia flustering as she mumbled

"Eh…! U-Umm…"

"Fufufu, I'm joking. I knew you didn't want to be overtaken by someone who came after you." Xenovia spoke with a small chuckle before Asia protested

"I-I didn't mean it like that…"

"Today is the chance. Buchou and Akeno-fukubuchou aren't here. Now might be the only time we have the chance to "suck" on Ayato's Dick." Xenovia added with a smile, Asia becoming silent at hearing that before Kotake called out

"Catch Ayato-kun!"

Ayato turned just in time for two blouses to hit his face before dropping down to reveal Kotume covering the light blue lacy bra she was wearing while blushing brightly as Kotake was twirling her bright red bra with her hand while smirking alluringly as she noticed his stares at them.

"If you don't hurry up I'm gonna steal Ayato-kun from you, Nee-san" Kotake spoke as she started to walk forwards, Kotume's face reddening before she put on a brave face and rushed forwards as she called

"No way, Nee-san! You said we could share him"

"~Ah." Asia called with a very red face, Ayato turning to see her hiding her exposed breasts while Xenovia casually threw away the bra and grabbed his hand before Kotake and Kotume helped the swordswoman push him down.

"Owaa!" Ayato groaned as he landed flat on his back on one of the PE mats, feeling something soft on his trousers and pulled down his pants,his enormous ten-inch cock was freed from its confinements. Raging, throating, and wanting to fuck Them all like the hybrid that Ayato was before noticing Xenovia over him with her breasts swaying over him as she grabbed his enormous ten-inch cock and wraped it around her orbs.

[This is amazing~!] Ddraig cheered, blood starting to trickle down his nose before hearing Kotume moan as his cock twitched as Arata chuckled

"Hehehe~ about time you got some action"

"Looks like your getting ahead, sis" Kotake spoke with a giggle, taking Ayato's dick from Kotume's breast and placing it between her own and helping him Cumming in front in her face.

"Yukio-san… I don't want to lose to B-Buchou-san…" Asia called as she rushed forwards, Xenovia sharing a look with the two Fallen Angels before placing Ayato's cock between Asia's breast who moaned sweetly

"…Nn…"

"Like I thought, it is different when you touch it yourself and when it gets touched by a man. Now Yukio, Asia, I, Kotake and Kotume are ready. You can now start fondling who you like" Xenovia spoke, Ayato doing his best to stop both perverted spirits form taking advantage and control of his hands as the door suddenly opened.

"…I came here because none of you were coming out and…W-W-W-Wh-what are you doing in here?!" Irina spoke, blushing at the situation before her of the four half naked girls piled atop of Ayato as she shouted embarrassed

"Do it in a b-bed! This place is filthy and is no good!"

"Oho! But you surely want to spend time with Ayato-san as well, Irina-san. Just cause you're an Angel doesn't mean you can't enjoy your childhood friend's touch" Kotake spoke with a slight moan as Ayato's hand twitched, Kotume blushing as she tried to wrestle his dick free from her sister and placing it back on her own chest as Irina stammered

"I-I-I can't, I'd fall for doing something like that with A-A-Ayato-san"

"You can just join the Fallen Angels after that, Irina-san… we'll happily look after you then" Kotake spoke with a mischevious smirk as she noticed Irina's eyes drifting between the four girls as they tried to share Yukio's Dick, the Angel's face rapidly turning bright red in response.

After school that day, Ayato sat in the club while trying to avoid his eyebrows from twitching. During most of the day Ddraig and Arata had been talking about what had happened that morning perversely and Ayato had't managed to have a proper conversation with any of the girls since then. Currently Asia and Xenovia was playing Othello while Kotake and Kotume was playing a board game with Orihime.

"Hehehe, Xenovia, Kotake and Kotume's Oppai was amazing" Arata chuckled lecheriously, Ddraig joining in as he added

[I hope Asia's oppai will get to be as big as Rias and Akeno's]

{Why did I have to get stuck with two perverts…} Sparda spoke with a depressed sigh, Ayato sighing in agreement with him before Koneko pinched his cheek, from where she sat on his lap, as she spoke seriously

"Lecherious comments aren't welcome here"

"Ovch(Ouch), it vurts(hurts) Koneko-san… I didn't even say anything" Ayato replied, making Koneko's eyes widen as she let go of his cheek as he thought to himself

'Can Koneko-san hear Arata?'

"Looks like everyone has gathered" Rias spoke after checking around the room for everyone, taking something like a video out as she continued

"It's a video recording that has the matches of the young devils. Our match against the Sitri group is also on it."

"Not just you guys, but the other youth devils also had a game. The House of the Great-King Bael and Maou Asmodeus's House of Glasya-Labolas, the House of Arch-Duke Agares and Maou Beelzebub's House of Astaroth. Each of them had a match after yours. This is the recording of those matches. It's the video of your rivals so watch carefully." Azazel said as he stood up before a large screen, everyone nodding seriously as they spoke

[YES.]

Ayato blinked surprised as Arata and Ddraig had stopped there perverted discussion, realising that whatever they would see from the matches would help them in the future.

"First is the match between Sairaorg…. House of Bael versus House of Glasya-Labolas" Azazel spoke before they all started to focus on the match, seeing Sairaorg's overwhelming power as he fought one on one with the Glasya-Labolas Devil, the latter being pushed back one-sidedly even after the battles between their servants had finished. Zefardoll had lost all of his pieces and then provoked Sairaorg into the one on one fight and found out that all types of attacks launched at Sairaorg was knocked back before Sairaorg's fists easily broke through the defensive techniques of Zefardoll and then a single blow had caused agony while even the dodged attacks destroyed buildings nearby.

"…The one who was called the wicked one. The new heir of the Glasya-Labolas, who is hated, can't even put up a fight. He's someone of that much calibre; that man Sairaorg Bael." Kiba spoke seriously, Ayato feeling Arata grinning as the Hollow spoke

"I so want to fight that guy"

'Yeah well you are not going to if I have anything to say about it' Ayato thought back with a frown as Gasper started to shake and clung onto his arm as they watched the fight before Azazel spoke with a sigh

"Rias and Sairaorg. Both of you have too many one on one battles even though you guys are the [King]. Basically, the [King] can just have their "pieces" march forward while the [King] doesn't move. You do know that the game will be over if the [King] is taken down, right? Maybe those who carry the blood of House of Bael are hot-blooded."

Rias' face turned red in embarrassment at hearing that before Ayato wondered outloud "How strong is Zefardoll?"

"If we didn't limit it to the current six Houses, then he wouldn't be weak. But since the former heir died in an accident, he participated as a representative….." Rias answered, Yukio nodding in understanding as Akeno continued

"In the ranking produced by the Game committee, Bael is ranked first, Agares is ranked second, Gremory is ranked third, Astaroth is ranked fourth, Sitri is ranked fifth, and Glasya-Labolas is ranked sixth. It's the comparison of average rank of their strengths, including the King and their servants, though each of them turned the result around after having a match."

"But only Sairaorg Bael is excelling….. That's what it means, right?" Ayato asked, Rias nodding as she replied

"Yes. He is a monster. It's said that "Maybe he will rise up in a short time when he participates in the official game?" In other words, you can say that our fame would increase if we defeat him."

"I'd love to see Sairaorg-san fight Raiser" Yukio spoke curiously, drawing curious and interested looks as Rias nodded and replied

"It would be an interesting fight. Raiser's immortality against Sairaorg's pure power but I feel Sairaorg is stronger and would win"

"Well, I will show you the graphs. They're the ones that are distributed to each faction." Azazel spoke while activating his techniques to create a holographic vision of a graph. On the graph were the faces of the six youth devils and below them were the parameters for Power, Technique, Support, Wizard and [King] which grew upwards differently for each person. Rias, Sona and Seekvaira were fairly high, Sona being higher then Rias while Sairaorg was considerably high while Zefardoll was the lowest.

On Rias' graph, the Wizard catergory increased the most while her Power catergory was fairly high as well while her Technique and Support was a bit above the mid-point. Sairarog, on the other hand, was lowest for Support and Wizard while his Power rose towards the top of his graph showing he had several times more Power then Zefardoll who was the next highest.

"Sairaorg didn't even fight seriously in the one on one battle against Zefardoll." Azazel explained, Yukio gulping nervously as he realised his Balance Breaker or Bankai form wouldn't be able to reach that level at the moment as he asked

"So… Sairaorg-san must be a genius as well, then." Azazel shook his head as he retorted

"No, Sairaorg is the first pure devil from the House of Bael who didn't have any talents. He also couldn't inherit one of the traits passed down from the House of Bael, the power of destruction. The ones who strongly inherited the power of destruction are his cousins, the Gremory siblings."

"Amazing… So he reached that level purely by training?" Ayato asked impressed, Azazel nodding as he explained

"Yes… An intense amount of training that is. Sairaorg is a rare pure devil who attained power by doing abnormal amounts of training. He only had his own body. So he trained it to the extreme."

"Oh, now I want to fight him even more… Come on brat, let me fight him?" Arata asked eagerly, Ddraig rolling his eyes while Sparda sighed as Ayato dismissed the Hollow's words while Azazel continued speaking as if telling a story

"He was being beaten and kept on being beaten since he was born, and continued to get defeated. Among the high-class devils and pure devils who are colored with a brilliant environment, he was the one who was walking in a muddy and bloody path.

A talentless person to become chosen as the next heir. Do you know what an exploit that is? He's the real deal since he knows the great difference between humiliating defeat and the happiness of victory. Well, in Sairaorg's case his strength also comes from something which is a secret, though."

The video of the match ended with Sairaorg winning while Zefardoll was hiding himself behind a shadow, the match ending when he declared his defeat while being frightened and crying. Ayato gulped at feeling the overwhelming power from Sairaorg, even through the monitor and that Sairarog's expression had not flinched at anything as he walked straight ahead to his path. The silence of the room was only broken when Azazel spoke "I will tell you guys beforehand, but after your fight with Diodora, your next opponent is Sairaorg."

"YES!" Arata shouted excitedly, earning Ayato a pinch from Koneko who was shooting him a glare as Ayato asked shocked

"Are you serious!?"

Azazel nodded seriously in response before Rias asked confused "Is it not a bit too early? I thought we would fight Glasya-Labolas before him."

"He's no good now. Zefardoll was crushed in his match against Sairaorg. His soul was carved with fear in his match against Sairaorg. He won't be able to fight now. Sairaorg has crushed his heart. His mind. That's why the rest of the matches will be done with the remaining participants. The house of Glasya-Labolas ends here for the matches among the youth." Azazel answered,

{He will be tough to face against} Sparda spoke up, Ayato nodding to himself as Ddraig added

[A powerful being that would crush the mind of lesser opponents]

"You guys also should be careful. He will come at you while having the high spirit of crushing the mind spirit of his opponents. He really is trying to become a Maou. Not even a slight hesitation or the will to give in lies in there." Azazel adds as a warning, Ayato looking serious as he nodded before Rias spoke after taking a breathe

"First, we need to focus on the next match. We will also watch the video of the Astaroth whom we will be fighting next. –I heard that they defeated their opponent, the next heiress of the Arch-Duke, Seegvaira Agares."

"…Yeah, Yoshimori and Broly said there was something weird with their match…" Ayato added as he crossed his arms as Rias continued

"Sona who gave us a hard time received a gold star mark, and like Akeno said earlier the Astaroth who defeated the second rank Agares received a big gold star mark. It certainly is regretful, but it was the rank given before the match began and they were nothing but predictions. So no one can tell what will happen when the game begins. That is Rating Game. But I never thought that Agares would lose, especially having met Yoshimori and Broly."

A flash appeared in the corner of the room, drawing everyone's attention to a transporation magic-circle appearing before Akeno spoke softly at seeing the unfamiliar symbol "-Astaroth."

Appearing from the magic circle was Diodora and Arisu, the former smiling as he spoke "How are you doing? It is I, Diodora Astaroth. I have come to see Asia."

"Hello Ayato-sama" Arisu added with a smile, Ayato offering her a small smile back before everyone moved so Arisu and Diodora could set opposite Rias and Azazel. After pouring green tea for Diodora and Arisu, Akeno sat next to Rias while the other servants stood near the corner of the room watching, Ayato finding himself remembering of when Riser had came before. Asia was sitting next to Ayato with a troubled expression as he held her hand in hopes of relieving her nervousness.

"Rias-san. I will say it straight forward. I would like to "Trade" [Bishops]." Diodora spoke with a gentle smile, Arisu frowning slightly at hearing that as Yukio's eyes narrowed seriously before being broken from it by Gasper calling as he tried to protect his own body

"Iyan! Is he talking about me!?"

"Of course not…" Ayato spoke with a sigh, patting the boy on the head and smiling at how Gasper had came out of his shell due to the Underworld training.

"The servant I am seeking from Rias-san is…the [Bishop] Asia Argento." Diodora said without hesistation as he looked to Asia with a smile as he continued

"The one I will be arranging is….." Diodora tried to pull out a catalogue of his servants but Rias stopped him instantly

"I thought so. But I'm sorry. I thought that I should say it before you show me that catalogue with your servants, so let me say it before hand. I have no intention to have a trade. It's not that your [Bishop] doesn't match up with mine, but I just simply don't want to lose Asia. –She is my important servant devil." Ayato smiled at hearing that, well aware that Rias wouldn't trade anyone unless there was good reasons for it.

"Is it because of her ability? Or is it because of her charm as an individual?" Diodora asked normally, Rias answering him quickly

"Both. I think of her as my little sister."

"-Buchou-san!" Asia spoke, her hand going to cover her mouth while her green eyes were teary as Rias continued with an intense smile that showed she was pissed

"We live together. Having my affections deepen and not wanting to let go of her won't be a good reason? I think that is a good enough reason. I can't understand you for trying to get Asia through me with such a method, Diodora. Do you understand the meaning of a proposal?"

"-I understand. I will return for today, but I will not give up." Diodora spoke with a creepy smile before walking towards Asia and taking a knee as he tried to take her hand as he spoke

"Asia. I love you. It's okay, destiny won't betray us. Even if everything in this world rejects us, I will overcome them no matter what."

Ayato snapped instantly, letting go of Asia's hand before grabbing the front of Diodora's clothes and lifting him onto his feet with ease. The silver haired young man was completely unaware that his left eye resembled his Hollow side while his right was normal as he spoke, his voice a combination of Ayato and Arata's "Don't you dare touch Asia, you slimy snake."

Diodora did his best to smile normally but couldn't help the bead of sweat rolling down his face as everyone was shocked at what was going on as Asia spoke concerned "Ayato-san…"

"Ayato/ Ayato-kun/ Ayato-sempai…" The girls all called out concerned, Arisu looking scared as Azazel frowning as he added

"Calm down Ayato… He's not worth it" Ayato gritted his teeth, doing his best to avoid giving into the urge to curbstomp Diodora right then and there.

"Can you let go of me? Even if you are the descendant of Sparda-sama, I feel a bit sickened to be touched by a filthy corrupt dragon." Diodora spoke calmly, his eyes narrowing slightly pleased at making Ayato's dark side come out only for his eyes to widen as Asia slapped Diodora before hugging Ayato as she shouted

"Please do not say that!"

"I see. I understand. –Then how about this. In the next match, I will defeat Ayato Kurozakuro the Seishinryuutei. Then I would like you, Asia, to answer my love….."

"Me lose…? To a loser like you who is even getting help" Ayato spoke with dark smirk that made Diodora look surprised before frowning seriously as he declared

"Seishinryuutei…Ayato Kurozakuro. In the next match, I will defeat you."

"Diodora Astaroth. I will show you the power of the dragon which you called filthy and corrupt to the extreme!" Ayato shot back with a glare which made Diodora wilt slightly under it, Azazel's mobile phone ringing out breaking the tense atmosphere before he spoke to everyone

"Rias. Diodora. Good timing. The date for the game has been decided. –It's in five days."

"In five days I will make you fear ever thinking of crossing a dragon again, you brat!" Ayato spoke with a smirk as he pushed Diodora away, Arisu looking concerned at the silver haired young man before leaving with her brother before Ayato gripped his head with both hands as his eye turned back to normal.

"What happened there, Ayato?" Rias asked concerned, leading Ayato to sit down as he shook his head and answered

"I just lost control a bit there…"

It had taken Ayato a few minutes to calm everyone else down and assure them that he wouldn't turn Hollow any time soon. Irina had been the most worried, having never known about Ayato's Hollow side in the first place from when they were children. Sparda and Ddraig had explained to Ayato that he'd temporarily, and subconsciously, synced with his Hollow side when facing Diodora and that had caused his eyes and voice to change without the mask forming.

After they had all calmed down, they had settled into watching the fight between Diodora and Seekvaira, the final battle of it being Diodora verses Seekvaira, Yoshimori and Broly. Ayato felt surer that something was wrong with Diodora from watching the match, seeing Yoshimori's [Bishop] empowered reishi arrows and magic having no effect on Diodora while Broly's [Rook] enhanced slashes with Zabimaru and fast speed by using flash step were easily dodged or blocked as was Seekvaira's magic based attacks.

"Diodora should have lost that" Ayato spoke seriously, drawing looks from the others as he continued

"Yoshi and Dai are strong… I mean I have trouble sparring with the both of them at the same time without using the [Boosted Gear] but Diodora just brushed them aside. His aura just… doesn't feel right either"

"So you noticed too, Ay?" Yoshimori spoke up, making everyone jump as he and Broly entered the room, Ayato nodding as Broly grumbled

"I can't believe he could just shrug us both off…His aura was weird like it was…"

"Tainted? Yeah…" Ayato added, Broly nodding as Azazel asked

"You think he's cheating?"

"Yeah…" Broly spoke with a frown before Yoshimori added

"At the very least he's taking something that's making him stronger"

"There's not much we can do unless we have proof of Diodora's cheating" Azazel spoke while stroking his chin at hearing that, glancing to see Ayato nod in agreement while the other Devils were surprised as he asked his two friends

"Is that thing still happening in a few days?"

"Yeah…. although we're still got to hear from Lucifer-sama about the details" Yoshimori spoke with a slight smirk, Broly grinning as Rias asked

"What are you on about, Ayato?"

"Oh… It's a surprise" Ayato replied with an innocent smile.

Ayato smiled as he watched Kiyome walk over to him after talking to the Tiger Yokai he had had to fight before as he asked "How are they settling in?"

"They're doing alright… I can't believe that idiot would have them controlled like that" Kiyome spoke with a frown, Ayato nodding in agreement as he remembered what Sosuke had done by getting Mibashi to control his monsters. Luckily after Sosuke's attempt to kidnap Kiyome, his parents had been extremely sorry and had given Kiyome's family the Yokai and monsters that Sosuke had been mistreating meaning that she would have to come here to help take care of them and help them get over the trauma of what had happened.

Kiyome smiled as she moved to sit down in Ayato's lap, sighing softly as she leant back against him as she pulled his arms around her waist as he asked "Must be weird to have to adjust to living in my place?"

"Kind of… But I enjoy being close to you, Ayato-kun, even if I have to fight with the others for time even though they are ahead of me" Kiyome spoke with a peaceful smile as she snuggled into his arms Ayato smiling to himself as he tightened his grip around her and replied

"I never expected to be so popular myself" Kiyome turned so she could look him face to face a mischevious smile forming on her face as she quickly closed the distance and pecked him on the lips.

"Fufufu… I'll start my catching up now with the others" Kiyome spoke with a smirk as she straddled his lap, her hands slowily undoing the buttons of her school shirt to reveal a purple lace bra before Sparda spoke aloud

{There's a Hollow in town}

[Damn it! How could you cock block him, old man!] Ddraig spoke annoyed, Kiyome huffing slightly as Ayato sweatdropped as he kissed Kiyome on the lips before speaking

"Sorry, looks like duty calls"

"I know…" Kiyome replied in a sulky tone, getting up from off Ayato who quickly disappeared with his Sonido as he started to make his way towards where the Hollow was.

"I'll have to destroy that Diodora in the game…" Ayato thought aloud as he looked at the star filled sky after just finishing the Hollow that had been nearby, part of him surprised at how long he had spent at Kiyome's parents' home. He understood that noble devils looked down on any devil below them although there were a few exceptions, Rias and her parents being amongst them.

"Hm~ Iced Tea" Ayato hummed before taking a long sip of his drink as he stood in front of a vending machine, arching an eyebrow at picking up a familiar aura as he turned to see Bikou step out of the darkness as he spoke

"It's been a while, Seishinryuutei."

"Bikou! Why are you here?!" Ayato asked seriously, summoning Rebellion to his hand before noticing Bikou's lack of armour as he replied

"Well, I came to accompany my partner."

"It's been two months, Ayato Kurozakuro." Vali spoke as he appeared, Ayato pointing Rebellion at his rival as he growled

"Vali!"

"I hear that you unlocked your Bankai and Devil Trigger? It makes me happy." Vali replied with a smile as Ayato summoned his Boosted Gear and asked

"Yo, Hakuryuukou. Do you want to continue from where we left off here?"

"You are quite aggressive today, Ayato Kurozakuro."

"I've had to deal with the idiot Diodora today who was pushing his luck" Ayato replied annoyed, Vali nodding understandingly as he replied coolly

"I didn't come here to fight…"

"Then why did you come?"Ayato asked as he dismissed his Sacred Gear and sword as Vali answered

"I hear that you will be having a Rating Game? And your opponent is the next heir of the House of Astaroth."

"What about it? I can kick his ass easily, no matter what he's using to make himself stronger" Ayato replied with a shrug, Vali smirking as he mused to himself

"So you noticed during the match between the House of Astaroth and the princess from the Arch-Duke."

"Well, it won't get through the skulls of those High-class devils if it's coming from my mouth. But I thought that it might be okay for you to know it but considering you've already aware of it seems like a wasted trip"

"Do you know where his new power comes from?" Ayato asked curiously, Vali about to speak only for Katsu to step out of the shadows with an annoyed look as he spoke

"Vali, we should hurry up before the Devils notice…" Hello Ayato

"Katsu… I didn't expect you to team up with Vali" Ayato replied, taking notice to the lack of killing intent and his relaxed stance as Bikou explained while chuckling

"Katsu and Vali made a deal that the loser would work under the winner and he lost"

"Shut it you damn monkey!" Katsu spoke with a scowl, Vali not paying attention to the glare Katsu was directing to Bikou as he spoke

"Let's return Bikou, Katsu…"

"Wait. You came to see him just for telling him that?" Katsu asked annoyed, Vali chuckling as he replied

"I was nearby, so I decided to warn my Rival-dono."

"See ya Seishinryuutei. Hey, Vali. Let's go to the rumoured Noodle-shop on our way~" Bikou replied, Katsu smirking as he spoke to Yukio

"Next time, I'll reclaim both of those swords and those Devil Arms of yours"

"You wish" Yukio retorted before Katsu, Bikou and Vali disappeared into the shadows, a few moments of awkward silence passing before Ddraig spoke up

[Your rival is a weird one.]

'Look whose talking Pervert' Ayato mentally retorted, Ddraig ignoring his response as he added

[Well, you are also quite a weirdo as well.]

'Obviously… I've got the spirit of my great-grandfather and my perverted Hollow side stuck in there as well'

[-But I'm having fun.]

[It feels like you speak to me the most out of all the possessors I ever had. You are the first host whom I think I have fun having conversations with.]

{It only makes sense, we are his guides and are suppose to help him} Sparda replied, Ddraig nodding as he continued

[…Maybe that was the good thing. You don't treat me like a tool, but as a single being.]

'I don't deserve to use your power if I don't at least respect you'

[Kukuku. You sure are a weird one.] Ddraig spoke with a chuckle as Ayato started to head back to the clubroom.

"I see, so Vali came to warn you." Rias spoke thoughtfully after Ayato had explained what had happened as she put her hand on her chin as she mused thoughtfully

"…..If he entered this town, then we should have known about it….. But we can't find them at all. A technique to eliminate your own presence? A certain application of the senjutsu? Or did they use Kuroka's space barrier?"

Rias activated a small magic circle, sending a communication to someone as she added "I will report about this development to Onii-sama and Azazel just in case."

"This should mean we should definitely be on alert about Diodora if Vali is warning you about him especially seeing as Shinji and Daisuke agree with you that something it up. Now, shall we go home then?"

"Alright" Ayato spoke with a smile as he and Rias started to head home on the former's bicycle. Rias smiling peacefully as she hugged him from where she sat behind him. Ayato smiled at remembering that Gasper had moved into Kiba's house which was nearby, glad that the half vampire was more comfortable with going outside of the school now.

When they had returned home, Rias and Ayato headed directly to the latter's room, opening the door as three female spoke from inside

"Ara ara, Ayato-kun. Welcome home."

"W-Welcome home, Yukio-san"

"Ayato-sama, welcome home"

Ayato's eyes widened in shock at seeing Akeno wearing an erotic Miko costume, Geogria wearing a revealing maid outfit and Orihime wearing a school uniform that looked to be ready to burst apart as he stammered, his face instantly turning red

"A-Akeno-san, Georgia-san, Orihime! Those costume!"

[Ah heaven has finally come!] Ddraig cheered, Arata cheering along as Akeno smiled as she spoke

"Ufufu. I wanted to wear something like this for you, Georgia and Orihime wanted to join in as well. Do you not find this to your liking?"

"N-No…Thy're really amazing" Ayato replied, doing his best to avoid nosebleeding as Georgia and Orihime blushed with smiles as the latter spoke

"I'm glad Ayato-sama likes this…"

"I guess Akeno was right…" Georgia mumbled to herself as raven haired young woman looked erotically at Ayato while squeezing her breasts as she spoke

"I'm glad. Ufufu. What should we do now? Should we have an observation party? Or… Do you want to have private party on top of the bed with touching allowed?"

"Oh my Maou!" Arata spoke shocked, Ayato doing his best to avoid the nosebleed at hearing Akeno's words before freezing at the killing intent he felt behind him, glancing back to see Rias with a dangerous smile as she spoke to Akeno, who she regarded the leader of the trio

"…Akeno? What are you doing?"

"Ara, Rias. So you were here." Akeno replied on purpose, making Rias fume as she countered

"I am here, since this is Ayato and my room. It's obvious that I'm here."

"I see. Then wait there for a bit. I'm trying to have Ayato-kun get some fun with Orihime-chan and Georgia's help. –You are a hindrance." Rias froze at Akeno's words, Ayato noticing Georgia gulp nervously while Orihime had moved to hug his arm as Rias muttered in a shaking voice as a red aura wrapped around her

"…Hind…rance…?"

Ayato blinked as he saw Asia, Xenovia and Koneko appear from the corner of the room, the former two wearing Miko costumes like Akeno's was wearing.

"Yeah. It's easy to move. I can't wear my underwear with it, but it's good since it's easy to move with it." Xenovia spoke, Ayato sweatdropping at how she still sounded like a warrior while Isa muttered blissfully

"No bra… No panties!"

[Our host will graduate today!] Ddraig added in a loud cheer.

"B-But if we don't wear bra, then…it can be seen through…" Asia shyly spoke while hiding her breasts, Ayato noticing Koneko approaching him wearing a beast costume with her real cat ears and tails visible as she asked while posing

"…Do I look good in it? Nyan." Ayato froze at hearing that, unable to reply to the cute Koneko before him as Rias spoke with teary eyes

"…I will also wear it!" With that Rias headed to the corner of the room to look through the pile of cosplay outfits there as Ayato turned to Akeno and Georgia and asked

"B-But how did it turn out like this?"

"Well when I told everyone that I wanted to have some fun with Ayato-kun, they said they wanted to wear it as well. So it turned out like this." Akeno answered, Ayato managing to ignore the whooping from Arata and Ddraig as he tried to avoid nosebleeding as he nodded. A few moments passed before Rias came out from the changing room, wearing an erotic devil costume with her real wings flapping adorably behind her as she made a prideful pose as she asked

"Now, Ayato. I look better don't I? I know what kind of costumes Ayato likes."

"Y-Yeah! You look good in it!" Ayato replied, trying to avoid staring even as Ddraig and Arata tried to take control of his eyes before Akeno walked into the changing room after seeing that, emerging a few moments later in a costume that was basically string.

"Ayato-kun, costumes which have this much exposure are the best right?" Akeno spoke while making a pose, Ayato gulping as he took in the amazing sight as Akeno continued

"Ayato-kun. Put your hands up and have your finger pointed upwards as well."

{Damn it you two perverts!} Sparda shouted, Ayato's eyes twitching as he saw his hands and fingers moving against his will as he mentally tried to regain control only for Akeno to grab his right and press it into her breast. Blood started to fall from Ayato's nose as he heard Ddraig and Arata speak blissfully

"[Uwah! Unbelievable softness…]"

"Aaan…This is…A-Amazing…Ayato-kun's finger…. When I saw Ayato-kun glaring at Diodora, my heart was beating fast…Ayato-kun showed his manly side, so…I couldn't hold myself…" Akeno moaned erotically, Ayato trying to control himself and the two perverted spirits inside of him as Rias grabbed Ayato's left hand silently before pressing his whole hand onto her breast.

"…Nuuu… Like I thought my chest gets hot…when I'm being touched by Ayato… What is this comfortable feeling…? It increases the more I get touched by Ayato… So I end up releasing noise… Aaaan…" More blood fell from Ayato's nose at hearing Rias' sweet voice as he tried to block out the voices in his head as Akeno adjusted Ayato's hand so it was groping her breast as well.

Sparks danced between Rias and Akeno's eyes before the former shouted with teary eyes "I won't lose to Akeno!"

Rias headed towards the changing room, closely followed by Akeno as they started to argue

"No, I can definitely show a better posture to Ayato-kun than Rias!"

"Ayato said that I am attractive!"

"That isn't true! Last time Ayato said my body feels good!"

"You probably made him say that by force! Wait, did you call my Ayato casually with his name!?"

"Why can't I!? Ayato! Ayato! Ayato! Ayato! Rias, you dummy!"

"Akeno you stubborn head! Today I won't forgive you!"

Akeno and Rias started to fight inside the changing room, Georgia sighing silently as Koneko headed over to Ayato as she held up a tissue for him as she spoke

"…Ayato-senpai. Here is the tissue. You need to stop the nosebleed."

"Thank you" Ayato replied, accepting it as he wiped the blood away, as Xenovia and Asia took his hands as the former spoke

"This isn't good. When both of them start their fight, we can't stop them. Let's move to another place. We are going Asia."

"Y-Yes!" Asia replied, Rias and Akeno still fighting in the changing room as everyone else moved next door.

"So the match is in five days. It's soon." Xenovia spoke while moving her piece on the devil style "The Game of Life" that she, Ayato, Georgia, Orihime, Asia and Koneko was playing as they sat around a table, Koneko sitting on Ayato's lap as usual. The game worked on the basis of raising through the ranks and the winner is the first person to become Maou.

Ayato mentally sighed as he could still hear the voices of Akeno and Rias through the walls, part of him wanting to go break them up only to remember Koneko's advice

"…When it turns like that, rather than stopping them it is better to have them fight I think"

Koneko had also added "…Ayato-senpai needs to know more about a maiden's heart"

'A Maiden's heart…?' Ayato thought to himself before there was a knock on the door before Irina, Kotake, Kotume and Kiyome entered as the former spoke

"Waa, when I got home Rias-san and Akeno-san were having a big fight. I was surprised. Ah! Is it "Game of Life"? Let me join too."

"Well they obviously don't understand sharing like us, right Kotume?" Kotake added, Kotume nodding embarrassed at her sister's hidden meaning as Kiyome asked curiously

"There's a "The Game of Life" for the Underworld, can I play as well"

Ayato knew that Irina had just finished her errands as part of Heaven while Kiyome had finished with her chores at her parent's home regarding the monsters and Yokai. Kotake and Kotume, Ayato guessed, had probably finished up some duties for Azazel.

"Devil-style one? Waa, I'm interested in it! For a reincarnated angel like myself, I think I can enjoy it with a mix of feelings since I will be able to experience a fake life of a devil!" Irina spoke surprised, Asia laughing as Yukio turned to her with a smile and asked

"This is funny isn't it, Asia?"

"Yes. I thought that too" Asia replied with a smile, taking a moment to think before adding

"Ayato-san. I love my current lifestyle. And I love everyone as well."

"I know. Don't worry about the next Rating Game. We just need to do our roles normally." Ayato spoke in a reassuring tone as Xenovia nodded as she added

"That's right Asia. Asia and I are friends. I will become your sword and beat anyone who will cause harm to you."

"Asia, let's finish the game quickly so we can get first place for the three-legged race!" Ayato spoke, Asia giving him a big smile as she spoke

"Yes."

The door opened and Rias entered wearing a bunny outfit, Ayato blinking as he wondered if she and Akeno were having a costume battle as Rias spoke with a doubtful expression "I'm sorry all of a sudden. But… We are getting interviewed. We will be appearing on a television programme in the Underworld. We will be appearing as the youth devil and get interviewed."

""Television programme!?"" Everyone shouted shocked, Georgia glancing to Ayato as she quietly asked him

"Do you think it will interfere with that?"

"I don't think so" Ayato whispered back.
