Chapter Thirteen:

(Flashback- England Church Headquarters)

It had been a few days since the battle with Kokabiel and the first thing Irina and Xenovia did was give the cores of the Excalibur blades to Touji Shidu, who congratulated them on a job well done. Sadly though, he was the only was proud of their work. For when they gave their full report to their leaders...

"What do you mean we shouldn't have gotten the Gremory and Sitri Peerages involved?!", Irina questioned.

"Exactly what we said, child.", one of the leaders said. "They are not to be trusted. They could have taken the cores for themselves and corrupted them and made unholy weapons to use against the church."

"Your actions could have endangered us all!"

"But if not for their aide, we would have died taking Kokabiel alone.", Xemovia said.

"Did you not have the one know as Lucas Stone there to help you?"

"So you did know he was there!", Xenovia said.

"Of course we did, child! Did you think we would have sent you on this mission otherwise?"

"You knew that Lucas would have helped us and called on Olympus to aide in the fight.", Xenovia said seeing as she had figured out somethings already.

"What would have happen if Lucas wasn't there?!", Irina questioned.

"We would have sent those more qualified to the task. Maybe we should have. At least they wouldn't have worked with those blasted devils and Fallen. You two have brought shame to the church by working with those beings!"

"Perhaps we've let them get away with to much. I mean whenever that Lucas Stone comes around, they end up in his bed without question."

"I wouldn't be surprised if they slept with him during their mission."

Both Irina and Xenovia said nothing as they blushed knowing what they did with Lucas.

"I do believe it is time for us to be more strict with our two warriors,here. To start, no more being around one Lucas Stone."

"As well as assigning them each new partners."

"No! You can't!", Irina said.

"Irina and I are great partners!", Xenovia said. "Our holy swords prove that!"

"And... And... You can't keep us from seeing Lucas!", Irina said as she was in the verge of tears.

"He cares for us!", Xenovia said as her eyes began to water as well. "He has shown us love and kindness while accepting us for who we are."

"He would have done that to any girl who was willing to spread her legs for him!"

Hearing that surprised the girls as they gasped, hurt by what their leaders said. But that hurt was soon replaced by anger as they had their heads hanging down low. They wer just insulted and were not going to take it!

"Take. It. Back.", Irina said softly.

"What was that, Miss Shidu?"

"Take it back!", Irina demanded as she and Xenovia glared up at the leaders who were surprised by the sudden outburst.

"Calm yourself, Miss Shidu!"

"I will not!", Irina snapped. "First, you judges us for the way we completed the mission knowing full well that had we done it the way you wanted, we would of died! Then, you judge us on our relationship with Lucas! Which hasn't stopped us from doing our diuties as exorcist! If it wasn't for the help of those in Kuoh, we wouldn't be standing here today!"

"And part of that is our relationship with Lucas Stone!", Xenovia said.

"Relationship?! With a Demi-Olympian?! Ha! You two are more like his little whores!"

"Let us clue you two in on something! The one of two reasons you two are even still exorcist is because of how you father vouches for you, Irina Shidu!"

"The other reason is because of your "relationship" with that Demi-Olympian! You two help make sure we have some kind of connection to Olympus, when we need it. Nothing more! Nothing less!"

"Did you know about me being a Quatro-Olympian?", Xenovia questioned.

"So, your powers have awakened, have they? Well, yes. We had a clue or two that you were one. I'm guessing that Hermes came to you about what is to happen next."

"Yes. And I shall be going to train in my powers.", Xenovia said standing firm in her choice.

"Of course. And then you shall return to the church and use your powers in service to the cause."

"As well as you and Miss Shidu cutting ties with Lucas Stone."

"What?!", both girls questioned in surprise.

"We feel it is time that you two should end things with the boy."

"He had been a somewhat negative influence on the two of you. One that we intend to stop before it is to late."

"But Lucas is...", Irina began to say when...

"We gave you two your orders. And you shall follow then without question."

"And if we don't?", Xenovia asked.

"Do you two wish to be excommunicated?"

Irina and Xenovia looked at each other for a few seconds before they smiled knowing what they wanted to do as they turned on their heels and left the room knowing that it would be the last time they may be in there.

(End Flashback)

"And that's what happened.", Irina said after she and Xenovia told Lucas what had happened to them as they were now in the living room of his home drinking some tea relaxing.

"Wow!", Lucas said. "That's nuts! Wait! What about your holy swords?!"

"I still have Durandal.", Xenovia said.

"And I still have Hauteclere.", Irina said. "Father says they let us keep them because we're the only ones who were able to use them in so long."

"I see.", Lucas said. "Well, you two should know that you're free to stay here. I got the room. And I'm sure that your ancestor will be here to take you away for your training, in a few days, Xenovia."

"So I better spend as much time with you as possible.", Xenovia said with a playful smile.

"I have no problem with that.", Lucas said making Xenovia's smile grow. "But tonight, I just want to rest. A lot has happened and I need to be up to meet Master Yung tomorrow. He just texted me earlier. So I have a busy day tomorrow."

"I could go for a good night sleep.", Irina said as she let out a yawn while stretching her arms.

"Me as well.", Xenovia said with a yawn.

"Then let's hit the sack.", Lucas said. "I do believe that you have some clothes here to wear, from when you were here last time.

"That and we're having our stuff shipped here.", Irina said.

"Good to know.", Lucas said. "Now let's hit the hay! It's been a long night."

"Amen to that!", Irina said as they headed upstairs to take showers and go to bed.

Soon it was mourning and Lucas woke up in his bed to something he didn't think he'd be waking up to for a long time. There he was with Irina on his left dressed in a pair of blue sleeping shorts and a yellow mid-drift tank-top while Xenovia was on his right dressed in a pair of pink sleeping shorts and a white sleeveless t-shirt. As for Lucas, he was dressed in a pair of black and white vertical striped sleeping pants. Both girls were snuggled up to Lucas with smiles on their faces. As for Lucas, he was smiling at first but it soon faded after remembering what he was told last night.

'I'll take of them, Old Man Touji.', he thought to himself as he held both girls close before kissing them both on their forehead gently. 'This I promise.'

But as gently as he tried to be, both Irina and Xenovia slowly woke up with smles on their faces knowing where they were as they snuggled up to Lucas a bit more.

"Glad you got a bigger bed.", Irina said as she wrapped her arms around Lucas as she laid with him.

"Me too.", Xenovia said doing the same thing. "Now I just have to prepare for my training with my Olympian ancestor."

"You'll be fine, Novi.", Lucas said. "I'm more worried about what Master Yung wants to talk about today, that he couldn't talk about last night."

"I'm wondering what was Rias' problem last night.", Irina said. "I mean you and Issei did what you did to keep Gasper safe. I can understand her being upset, but she was down right livid!"

"Perhaps she was having a bad day.", Xenovia said.

"She still mad about not knowing about me and Sona being together without her knowing about it.", Lucas said as he sat up in the bed along.

"Why is she mad about that?!", Xenovia questioned as she and Irina sat up with Lucas.

"I'm guessing it's because Gremory wanted our Lucas Stone to be a part of her peerage.", Irina figured with a smirk.

"You'd be correct, Miss Shidu.", Lucas said with a smile. "When she learned about me and Sona being together, she got madder than she already was about Sona not telling her about me."

"Why does she want you in her peerage anyway?", Xenovia asked. "Besides your power."

"Well, at the time, she was engaged to one Riser Phenex due to an arranged marriage her family had set up.", Lucas explained. "She wanted out of it and figured that if she could defeat Riser in a Rating Game she could get out of said engagement."

"Hence why she wants powerful servants.", Irina said figuring things out. "But she won the Rating Game! Right?"

"Nope! They lost.", Lucas said. "But Issei went and challenged Riser to a one on one fight and won. Thus freeing Rias from her engagement to Riser."

"But Rias believes that if she had you in her peerage, for the Rating Game, they would have won as well as making a name for herself, among her people.", Xenovia figured. "But seeing as Sona didn't tell her about you..."

"She feels betrayed that Sona thought more about her relationship with you instead of telling her about you.", Irina said.

"Pretty much.", Lucas said. "You'd think she'd be happy for Sona, but instead we got this."

"I'm sure things will work themselves out, in the end.", Xenovia said when her stomach suddenly growled along with Irina and Lucas'

"And with that, it's time for breakfast.", Lucas said as they got up from the bed to get ready for the day.

Later that day, we have Lucas at The Pantheon restaurant with Master Yung up in the MVP section having lunch together as they catch up on things. But once they finished they meal, Yung decided to get down to business.

"Now Lucas. I'll get straight to the point.", Yung said. "With how you handled things, during the battle with Kokabiel, the elders and I believe that you have earned the right to start your own peerage.", he said with a proud smile.

"Are you serious?!", Lucas questioned getting a nod from Yung. "But, Master Yung, I almost lost it during the battle."

"But you didn't.", Yung said. "You found your focus and gained control. Control that you will need in the battles to come. Now you just have to pick the type of pieces you want for your peerage. Chess pieces or jewelry?"

"Jewelry.", Lucas said. "Much easier to handle."

"A wise choice.", Yung said as he handed Lucas a small wooden case. "These are the newest type made that can contain more power. All you have to do is infuse some of your power into the case and you can start forming your peerage."

"What do you mean by contain more power?", Lucas asked.

"Let's say that you have someone you want to make a Pawn and they take up all eight pieces.", Yung said. "Well with the newest pieces, the number is cut in half."

"Interesting.", Lucas said.

"We plan on meeting with Ajuka Beelzebub, to share this with him for those in the Wyvernrealm.", Yung said.

"There are plenty of peerages that would love that.", Lucas said.

"Do you have any people in mind for your peerage?", Yung asked.

"I may have a few people in mind.", Lucas said with a smile a few people came to mind.

"Well I wish you luck in the future.", Yung said. "But before we go and make you a King, there's something you should know. It's about something that's going to happen this Summer"

"What's going to happen?", Lucas asked.

Now over at the ORC, we have the Gremory Peerage having one of their weekend meetings. Well actually, it's more like Rias getting on Issei about what he did when it came to Gasper and Koneko last night.

"You should have told me about your plan, Issei!", Rias said from behind her desk still upset about all that happened.

"If I did, would you have approved of Gasper and Konekoa going to Lucas' house, with Kuroka?", Issei asked.

"Honestly, no! I wouldn't have!", Rias said. "For all I know, Kuroka could have taken Koneko and made a run for it fearing that she may still would have been captured for her crimes."

"She wouldn't do that.", Koneko said. "She's not a monster."

"But she did murder her first master.", Kiba countered earning a scowl from the Nekomata. "I'm sorry, Koneko, but it's the truth. Even if Kuroka does get exonerated for her crimes, there are going to be those that will still see her as a SS rank criminal."

"That may be, Kiba, but word of why Kuroka did what she did will also spread.", Akeno said. "Once that happens, those that are understanding will accept Kuroka and not give her a hard time."

"And I feel sorry for anyone who does give her a hard time.", Issei said with a grin.

"That being said, I'm still not happy about what you did Issei.", Rias said. "Do you know how it made me look in front of my brother and Serafall?!"

"I'm sorry about how things went down, Rias.", Issei said. "But at the end of the day, or night, Gasper and Koneko were safe. Which is what's important. Am I right?", he asked only to get a tiring sigh from Rias.

"May I suggest that we end this meeting and go get some rest as well as cool off before our next meeting.", Akeno said with a kind smile hoping Rias would agree.

"Very well.", Rias agreed. "Everyone go and enjoy the weekend. I shall see you all Monday.", she said as all but Kiba and herself teleported away.

"It seems that it was a wise choice not telling them about Dulocke.", Kiba said.

"Yes it was.", Rias said as she sat back in her chair. "But they will find out, in time."

"They will just have to accept it.", Kiba said. "You are our master. And your word is final."

"Thank you, Kiba. You truly are a loyal Knight." Rias said with a smile that Kiba returned. "Now what to do about Sona and her betrayal."

"Challenge her to a Rating Game where when we win, she will trade her spare Rook piece for Koneko.", Kiba suggested. "That way once you have Dulocke restore the curse on Le Fay and give her and Arthur the ultimatum of joining you peerage in exchange for lifting the curse, you'll have the pieces needed to make them your servants."

"That can work.", Rias said as her smile grew. "Soon, I'll have one of the strongest peerages of our generation."

Later rhat day, we have Lucas back at home relaxing, in his living room, while thinking about who he wanted in his peerage. He had a few people in mind, but would they want to join his peerage?

(Lucas' POV)

Irina and Novi may want to join my peerage. Novi would make a great Knight! While Irina a Rook. There's also Le Fay, who would be one of my Bishops. Not to mention A-Ko, who would be a great Rook or even a powerful Pawn. Then there's B-Ko, who I would make my other Bishop. As well as Raynare, who I'd make either a Pawn or Rook. Probably a Rook. Looks like I have to talk to the girls first before I move forward.

(Normal POV)

As he was relaxing along with thinking about who to put in his future peerage, his doorbell rang.

"Who could that be?", Lucas questioned as he got up from the couch and answered the door to see Sona standing there dressed in a pair of blue shorts with white shoes and a pink sleeveless blouse with a white purse hanging off her shoulder. "Hey.", he said surprised yet happy to see her.

"Hey.", Sona said with a smile as Lucas let her inside. "I know I said I'd call you, but I figured I'd come see you instead.", she said as she took off her shoes and left them at the door before they went into he living room.

"I'm glad you're here.", Lucas said. "So how are you adjusting to all that happened?"

"I'm still amazed by it all.", Sona said with a grin as she brought out her dragon wings and tail. "I had to do this this morning just to make sure I wasn't dreaming!", she said as she recalled her wings and tail.

"Well if you think that's something, then you're not going to believe what happened to me earlier today!", Lucas said.

"What happened?", Sona asked as they sat on the couch

Meanwhile, Irina had called Nozomi to hang out and met up with her at the park. But Saji was already hanging with Nozomi and came with her. So right now it's the three of them talking about happened during the peace meeting as they are in a small restaurant having lunch together.

"So now you're a Dragon-Kin now?", Nozomi questioned Saji after she was told what happened.

"Yeah.", Sasji said. "I'm still adjusting to it all, but I'm okay."

"And you're no longer with the church.", Nozomi said to Irina.

"Yep.", Irina said. "Xenovia and I are staying over Lucas' place. He okay with it seeing as he has the room. Xenovia and I even talked about enrolling into Kuoh Academy!"

"I think Sona can get you two enrolled.", Saji said.

"Great!", Irina said.

"Speaking of Sona, do you think she'll allow me to join her peerage?", Nozomi asked surprising Saji and Irina. "I know it's sudden, but after all the training I've been doing with my brother, Lucas, and you Saji I now see that maybe being apart of a peerage might be the best thing for me. That and all that you two told me about this Khaos Brigade has me worried about one of them nabbing me and using me to get to Issei."

"Well why not join up with Gemory's peerage?", Saji questioned. "You'll be closer to your brother who we both know will keep you safe."

"I would, but there's something about Gremory that annoys me.", Nozomi said. "Which is why I'd rather join up with you and the Sitri Peerage."

"I would say yes, but Sona has a few other candidates in mind for her peerage.", Saji said.

"Aw, man!", Nozomi said.

"You can still ask her.", Saji said when a thought came to her. "Or, you can go to Lucas!"

"Lucas?!"?, Nozomi and Irina questioned.

"Oh yeah! You were busy fighting those mages last night, Irina.", Saji said as she slapped her own forehead. "Last night, Zeus mentioned something about that Master Yung guy letting Lucas have his own peerage."

"Maybe that's what he's meeting Lucas about!", Irina figured thinking about what Lucas was meeting Master Yung about.

"So wait. Lucas has a peerage now?", Nozomi questioned.

"I'm not sure.", Saji said. "They just said that he deserves to have one."

"Well, if he can, I wouldn't mind being in it.", Nozomi said with a smile.

"Me neither!", Irina said. "I could be one of his Knights!"

"I wonder what I could be?", Nozomi pondered.

"Either a Pawn or Rook.", Saji said. "I would go with Pawn."

"Why?", Nozomi asked.

"The Pawn can have the powers of the Knight, Rook, Bishop, or Queen through the power of the promotion skill we Pawns have.", Saji explained.

"Hmmmmm... Sounds interesting.", Nozomi said as Irina took out her cell phone. "Who are you calling?"

"No one. I'm texting Lucas to see if he's busy.", Irina said as she sent her text.

"I meant to ask. Where's your friend?", Saji asked.

"Xenovia went to be alone for a while.", Irina said. "I think she's preparing herself mentaly for her training in her Quadra-Olympian powers and skills."

"Think she'll want to be in Lucas' peerage?", Nozomi asked.

"Most defiantly!", Irina sai with a smile thinking aboutn her friend when Lucas texted her back. "He said that he's home and with Sona. He also wants to talk to me about something later today."

"Maybe he got his pieces and wants you to join his peerage!", Saji said.

"Think I can come over and talk to him about joining his peerage?", Nozomi asked.

"Sure thing!", Irina said. "But let's wait and give Lucas and Sona some time alone."

"Then I say that the three of us go and have some fun for the rest of the day!", Saji said.

Agreeing with Saji, Nozomi and Irina paid their part of the bill and left the restaurant to have some fun. Elsewhere, Xenovia was alone walking around town wondering about who her ancestor was among the Greek Pantheon and how they would train her.

(Xenovia's POV)

When will they come for me? Will they accept me? Will I be able to handle the training? Will they do me like the church did me? Maybe I just shouldn't go through with the training. Those were the thoughts going through my mind as I was walking around the town of Kuoh. I wanted to go through with the training but what if I wasn't good enough? I think I'll talk to Lucas, A-Ko, and B-Ko about the whole thing.

"Penny for your thoughts?"

(Normal POV)

Xenovia turned around to see a woman who looked like she was in he mid-twenties with silver eyes and long auburn blonde hair that went down just below her shoulders, sitting on a bench. She was dressed in a pair of blue jeans with brown and black sneakers, a green t-shirt,and a tan vest. By looking at her Xenovia saw a kind of strength that she saw in very few people.

"Can I help you?", Xenovia asked.

"Actually, I think I should be asking you that question, Xenovia Quarta.", the woman said with a smile.

"How... How do you know my...?", Xenovia began to question when she figured it out. "You're of the Greek Pantheon!"

"Correct!", the woman said as she jumped up from the bench. "The name's Artemis! Olympian of the Hunt! Glad to meet you, my dependent!", she said as she extended her hand to Xenovia who shook it still a bit confused about all that was happening.

"So are you here to take me away for my training?", Xenovia asked.

"Normaly, I would be.", Artemis said. "But, with all that's going on, I have to wait a bit before we can begin your training."

"What do you mean?", Xenovia asked when she suddenly got a text.

"You may want to answer that.", Artemis said.

"It's from Lucas.", Xenovia said. "He wants me to come back to the house for something important."

"Well let's go!", Artemis said. "Been a while since I've seen Lucas! Plus, I need to see if he's been keeping up with his training."

Saying nothing, Xenovia followed Artemis as she led the way to Lucas' house.

'What's going on here?!', Xenovia thought as she followed behind Artemis.

Now earlier, at Lucas' place, we have Lucas and Sona after Lucas told Sona about his talk with Master Yung as well as show her his pieces which was a small wooden box of fifthteen small, silver, metal orbs that had the symbols of chess pieces on them.

"The orbs transform into whatever jewelry the peerage member wants it to be.", Lucas explained as he placed the box on the coffee table that was in front of the couch.

"How does the jewelry work different from the chess pieces?", Sona asked as she picked up one of the orbs and looked at it.

"Well, for one, the peerage members decide what jewelry the orb becomes.", Lucas explained. "They pick between a ring, bracelet, necklace, chocker, belt buckle, ankle bracelet, earring, hair clip, or earrings."

"Hmmmmm... Interesting.", Sona said as she placed the orb back in the box.

"Now before I give said piece to anyone, I have to channel some of my power into the orbs.", Lucas said as he picked up he wooden box and closed it.

He then held the sides of the box and began to channel some of his aura into it. A few seconds later, he stopped as he finished what he needed to do.

"There. Now the orbs have a bit of my power connecting me to my future peerage members.", Lucas said as he placed the box back onto then coffee table.

"So how many people do you have in mind so far?", Sona asked.

"Quite a few actually.", Lucas said. "But that can wait until later. Right now, I just want to enjoy my time with you.", he said as he sat down next to Sona, on the couch and shared a kiss with her.

"We can do that.", Sona sais with a smile. "After you go and recruit who you want in your peerage."

"Seriously?", Lucas questioned.

"Yes.", Sona said. "It'll bug you until you do. Believe me when I say that Ive been there."

"Meaning...?", Lucas questioned.

"Meaning that had I acted when I should have, I would of had Issei as my other Knight or Rook.", Sona said.

"Wow!", Lucas said.

"Exactly.", Sona said. "That's why I don't want you to take your time on this. Call up all the ones you wish to have in your peerage, now before somebody else recruits them."

"Okay. If it'll make you happy.", Lucas said as he took out his cell phone. "You do know that they're all girls right?"

"I kind of figured that.", Sona said with a grin. "And I even have a pretty good idea who some of them are."

"Somehow, I'm not surprised by that.", he said as he began to do some texting.

About a good thirty-five minutes later, all those that Lucas had texted were in his house. Well all but one. With him and Sona were A-Ko, B-Ko, Le Fay, Raynare, and Irina. Also there was Saji and Nozomi. The only one left to show up was Xenovia who texted him saying that she was about ten minutes away.

"So what's this all about, Lucas?", Saji asked.

"Let's wait until Xenovia gets here.", Lucas said when a green magic circle appeared in the middle of the room. "Whoa! I recognize that circle!"

"Me too!", A-Ko said.

"But what's she doing here?!", B-Ko questioned as two figures appeared.

"That's why.", A-Ko said as Artemis and Xenovia appeared before everyone.

"Sorry everybody! We would have been here sooner, but I wanted to try some of the food here!", Artemis said with a smile. "Hey, Lucas! A-Ko! B-Ko! How have you three been doing?!"

"Great! But, what brings you here?", A-Ko asked.

"I came to see my newest dependent here.", Artemis said as she patted Xenovia on her shoulder. "That and to check up you three as well."

"Zeus told you about me getting pieces, didn't he?", Lucas asked.

"Yep! I just had to see this go down!", Artemis said with a beaming smile. "Some other Demi-Olympians already got their pieces and are forming their peerages as we speak. So I figured that I'd come and see you form yours."

"Wait! You can form a peerage now?!", Xenovia asked getting a nod from Lucas.

"Oh! This is so exciting!", Le Fay said happily. "Can I be one of your Bishops?!"

"That's why I called you all here.", Lucas said. "Sona convinced me to do this now instead of waiting and she made a good point about it. So here we are."

"Better to get started now rather than later.", Artemis said as she sat in one of the recliners before taking a good look at Sona. "I can see why you've fallen for her, Lucas. She's a keeper!", she said making Sona blush.

"Well let's get started.", Lucas said as he took out one of the silver orbs that had the Knight symbol carved in them. "Xenovia! Will you join my peerage as my..."

"YES!", Xenovia said with a smile on her faces getting giggles from the other girls there.

"Can I finish first?", Lucas asked with a grin.

"Sorry.", Xenovia said with a slight blush.

"Now, will you join my peerage as one of my Knights?", Lucas asked Xenovia.

"Yes. I would be honored to be your Knight.", Xenovia said with a bow.

"Thank you. Now choose what type of jewelry you want.", Lucas said.

"Hmmmmm...", Xenovia hummed as she was thinking about what form she wanted the orb to take. "How about a ring."

"Very well.", Lucas said as the silver orbs turned into a ring and then... "Xenovia Quarta, be transformed and start your new life as a part of my peerage.", he said as he placed one of the rings on her finger.

Once he did this, Xenovia's eyes went wide as she felt the sudden surge of power flow through her body. It was then that a set of wings sprouted from her back along with a dragon tail coming out from the small of her back. Now her tail was white with a few traces of yellow while her wings were that of a Ryu-Type Dragon-Kin.

"Oh wow, Xenovia! You're a Ryu-Type Dragon-Kin!", Irina said amazed at the feathered dragon wings her friend had.

"But I thought I would be like Lucas.", Xenovia said. "A Drake-Type."

"That's not how the Dragon-Kin pieces work.", Lucas said. "Our pieces make you a Dragon-Kin based off your elemental attributes and abilities. And in your case, Xenovia, you are a Ryu-Type."

"Interesting.", Xenovia said as she flicked her tail with a smile before recalled her wings and tail followed by sprouting them again. "I can get used to this.", she said as she recalled them again before looking at her ring to see the Knight symbol carved into the ring which brought a smile to her face.

"Irina Shidu, will you join my peerage and become one of my Rooks?", Lucas asked surprising Irina along with the others there.

"But I thought I was going to be your other Knight!", Irina said.

"As did I.", Xenovia said.

"Sorry, but I promised that spot to a good friend, who'll be here in a week along with two others.", Lucas said.

"Ryuga?", B-Ko questioned.

"Ryuga.", Lucas said.

"Figures.", A-Ko said with a grin.

"So, Irina. Will you be my Rook?", Lucas asked. "I picked the Rook to give you the strength to match up to your speed. Which would help you keep up with Xenovia after she's finished her training with Artemis."

"A smart move.", Artemis said. "I could tell that you were a speed type of warrior, Irina. The Rook is the right piece for you to be."

"As long as I can fight by your side, I'm happy!", Irina said with a smile that Lucas returned as the silver orb he grabbed transformed into a ring.

"And now, Irina Shidu, be transformed and start your new life as a part of my peerage.", he said as he placed one of the rings on her finger.

Once he did this, Irina, like Xenovia, felt a surge of power flow through her body as her eyes went wide. Amd just like Xenovia, a set of wings sprouted from her back along with a dragon tail coming out from the small of her back. And just like Xenovia, her tail was white with a few traces of yellow while her wings were that of a Ryu-Type Dragon-Kin as well.

"I'm a Ryu-Type!", Irina said excited as she stretched her wings. "Wow!"

"Interesting. Yet it makes sense seeing as they use holy energy.", Sona said while Irina recalled her wings and tail.

"Actually, it's aether energy the Ryu-Type use.", Lucas said. "While the Wyvern-Type use nether energy.", he said as he grabbed a silver orb that had a Bishop symbol on it.

Seeing this, Le Fay couldn't help but smile as she knew she was next.

"Le Fay Pendragon, will you join my peerage and become my Bishop?", Lucas asked the mage.

"It would be an honor, Mr. Stone.", Le Fay said with a curtsy and a smile. "Can I have it be a pendant?"

"Of course.", Lucas said as the orb turned into a small silver pendant that had a silver chain. "And now, Le Fay Pendragon, be transformed and start your new life as a part of my peerage.", he said as he walked behind Le Fay placed the pendant around her neck.

And just like Irina and Xenovia, Le Fay felt a surge of power flow through her while a set of silver dragon wings and tail sprouted from her back.

"Whoa! Silver wings and tail!", Lucas said. "This shows that you're a powerful mage.", he said as Le Fay flicked her tail a few times before recalling her wings and tail.

She then looked at the pendant to see that the front of it had the Pendragon coat of arms on the front of it while the back of it had the Bishop symbol on it.

"And now, B-Ko, will you join my peerage and become my Bishop?", he asked B-Ko as he grabbed another silver orb that had the Bishop symbol on it.

"Yes. I shall.", B-Ko said with a smile. "And I wish to have a bracelet."

"Done.", Lucas said as the orb took the form of a bracelet that had a Bishop symbol on it. "And now, Biko Daitokuji, be transformed and start your new life as a part of my peerage.", he said as he slipped the bracelet on B-Ko's wrist.

It was then that B-Ko felt the surge of power flow through her as lavender colored dragon wings and tail sprouted from her back.

"This I like!", B-Ko said loving her wings and tail before she recalled them.

"Now, A-Ko, will you join my peerage and become my Pawn?", Lucas asked the red head as he grabbed an orb that had the Pawn symbol. "And before you ask why a Pawn, I picked it because of the Pawn's power of promotion."

"Oh yeah!", A-Ko said. "I accept! And I want a ring."

"Ring it is. Now, Eiko Magami, be transformed and start your new life as a part of my peerage.", Lucas said as the orb turned into a ring and he slipped it on A-Ko's left ring finger only for nothing to happen. "Just as I thought.", he said as he grabbed another orb and had it formed into a ring and slipped it onto A-Ko's right ring finger.

Once he did this, A-Ko felt power flow through her as a bronze dragon tail sprouted from the small of her back.

"Sweet! I'm a Drake-Type!", she said as she flicked her tail a bit before recalling it.

"Makes sense with your speed and strength.", B-Ko said while Lucas grabbed another silver orb that had a Rook symbol on it.

"Raynare, will you join my peerage and become my other Rook?", Lucas asked as he grabbed a silver orb with the Rook symbol.

"Yes!", Raynare said with a smile. "Can it be a bracelet?"

"Bracelet it is!", Lucas said as he had the orb shape into a bracelet. "Now, Raynare, be transformed and start your new life as a part of my peerage.", he said as he slipped the bracelet on Raynare's wrist.

It was then that Raynare felt a surge of power, yet her wings and tail didn't come out seeing as she was already a Dragon-Kin and she ws used to power. Lucas was about to close the box when...

"Ummmmmm... Can I join your peerage?", Nozomi asked.

"Seriously?", Lucas questioned getting a nod from Nozomi. "Maybe you should check with your brother first. I don't want to cross any lines here. He might want you to join his peerage when he earns the right to have one."

Agreeing with Lucas, Nozomi called her brother who she told to come over to Lucas' to talk about something important. Once there, Issei was surprised to find out about Lucas having a peerage and that Nozomi wanted to be in it.

"First off, congrats on getting your own peerage, man!", Issei said as he and Lucas pounded fist. "When I get my peerage, we got to have a Rating Game match!"

"Done.", Lucas said.

"Second, if you want to join Lucas' peerage, Nozomi, go for it.", Issei said. "It's your life, live it.", he said earning a hug from his sister.

"Thanks, Issei!", Nozomi said as Issei returned the hug.

"Now then. Nozomi, will you join my peerage and become my Pawn?", Lucas asked as he grabbed two orb that had the Pawn symbol on them.

"Yes!", Nozomi said with a beaming smile. "And I want them to be earrings and a ring."

"Now, Nozomi Hyoudou, be transformed and start your new life as a part of my peerage.", Lucas said as one of the silver orbs turned into a set of earrings that Lucas helped Nozomi put on followed by the other orb transforming into a ring that he put on her left ring finger.

And just like with the other members of Lucas' peerage, Nozomi felt the power flow through her along with red dragon wings sprout out her back and a red darong tail sprouting out from the small of her back.

[She is most definitely the sister of the Red Dragon Emperor!] Ddriag said with pride.

"Like brother like sister!", Saji joked.

"Wouldn't have her any other way!", Issei said as he brought out his own red dragon wings and tail while wrapping an arm around his sister's shoulder.

"So who do you have in mind for your Queen, Lucas?", B-Ko asked.

"No idea.", Lucas said.

"You will soon.", Artemis said. "He shall meet his Queen in the Wyvernrealm, during the Summer. His lion will help him find her."

"The Grey Sister?", Lucas questioned.

"The one and only.", Artemis said.

"You have a lion?", Irina asked.

"He's a dependent of the Nemean Lion.", Lucas said. "Actually, I can introduce you to him right now! Let's head out back.", he said as they followed Lucas to the backyard of the house.

Once there, Artemis put up a cloaking barrier so no one could see or hear them. Once she did this, Lucas made a summoning circle appear.

"I summon thee, Leo!", Lucas said as a large figure appeared in a flash of light.

Once the light faded everyone saw a lion, with a black mane, that was the size of a pick-up truck standing before them. But once he saw Lucas he pounced on him and began to lick him happily.

"Glad to see you too big guy!", Lucas said as he slowly pushed the happy lion off of him only for the lion to pull him back to him while rubbing his head against Lusac while purring. "Oh brother.", he said as Leo wasn't going to let him go.

"This is Leo, everybody.", Artemis said. "One of the many dependents of the Nemean Lion. Hercules may have taken out the father, but he found his mate and cubs and brought them to me to raise in my sanctuary. The rest is history.", she explained.

"So how did Lucas and Leo meet?", Nozomi asked only for A-Ko, B-Ko, and Artemis to giggle a bit.

"I had brought Lucas, A-Ko, and B-Ko to the sanctuary for some fun as well as help them finding an animal partner.", Artemis explained. "The kids went for a swim, in a river. Now Lucas had his dragon tail out as he was swimming around in thr river. The same river that a younger Leo was at looking for some fish to eat."

"Don't tell me.", Issei said. "Leo thought that Lucas' tail..."

"Was a fish. Yes! That's what happened.", Lucas said as he walked back to the group with Leo behind him. "You don't know pain until you have your tail chomped down on by a lion cub that's the size of a grown wolf. But in the end, we became friends and he became my animal partner.", he said as he stroked Leo's mane to which Leo let out a happy purr. "How are his mate and cubs?", he asked Artemis.

"They're all fine and healthy.", Artemis said. "They're learning to hunt with Leo and Leah."

"She's the mother of the cubs, right?", Irina asked.

"And my animal partner.", A-Ko said. "I went to see her and the cubs last week. Active little guys."

"I wouldn't mind having a animal partner like Leo!", Irina said as she stroked Leo's mane.

"There are other animals, besides Nemean Lions.", Aftemis said. "You can get a Pegasus, like B-Ko."

"Or and owl and cat, like me.", Le Fay said with a smile.

"The possibilities are many.", Artemis said. "Just make sure that you'll able to show the animal love."

"But for now, come and get to know Leo.", Lucas said before the members his peerage came up to the Nemean Lion.

As they were doing this, Lucas pulled Issei aside to talk.

"Meet me tomorrow at The Pantheon, tomorrow, around Noon.", Lucas said. "I have some things to tell you."

Seeing this, Sona began to wonder what was going on between the two of them, yet shook it off knowing that whatever it was, she would find out about it in time. Later that night, after sending Leo back to the sanctuary and saying goodnight to everybody, Lucas was finally alone with Sona who was more than happy to spend the night with Lucas.

And sleeping wasn't going to happen right away.

After they major romp, we have Lucas and Sona laying together in his bed bathing in the after glow of what they did with Sona snuggled up to Lucas who has an arm around her holding her close. As he holds Sona close, he feels that her chest has gotten bigger, yet says nothing as he loves being with Sona for Sona. Plus, he didn't want to make her worry about her now developing body. So he says nothing and enjoys his time with her knowing how she enjoys her time with him.

"So how does it feel to have a peerage?", Sona asked with a smile.

"Interesting.", Lucas said. "And I have a feeling that it'll get more interesting, in time.", he said getting a grin from Sona.

"That sounds about right.", Sona said. "But you'll be alright.", she said before they shared a kiss.

"Good to know.", Lucas said. "But right now, I just want to enjoy my time with you. For I know that we won't have times like this when we work out the schedule for everyone. Of course, I can request more time with you every once in a while.", he said with a smirk.

"I think we can work something out.", Sona said as they went back to relaxing for the rest of the evening before going to sleep.

The next day, we have Lucas and Issei at The Pantheon restaurant having lunch while talking about somethings. Some very important things.

"So what did you want to talk about?", Issei asked before eating some of his food.

"First, let me ask you something.", Lucas said. "If you were offered a chance to start your own peerage a lot sooner that you figured, would you go for it?"

"Well... Yeah!", Issei said. "Why do you ask?"

"Well from what Master Yung told me the other day, Rias is in some hot water.", Lucas said before drinking some of his soda.

"How hot we talking?", Issei asked.

"Boiling!", Lucas said. "She may even lose her territory in Kuoh.", he said surprising Issei.

"Whoa!", Issei said. "What did she do for this to happen?"

"No clue. All I know is that Master Yung and a bunch of elders are working together to clean things up in the Wyvernrealm.", Lucas said. "And sadly, Rias is on the list of those that they're going after. She must of done something pretty messed up for them to be going after her like this."

"So when are they going to act?", Issei asked.

"No idea.", Lucas said. "All Master Yung told me to do was to be ready to be called. So I'm telling you the same thing."

"Thanks for the heads up.", Issei said. "I like Rias, but she has a long way to go before she can call herself a good King. Akeno, Kiba, and Koneko are prime examples of that."

"That bad, huh?", Lucas asked.

"You have no idea.", Issei said as they continued to eat their lunch. "Let's just say that, if Rias truly cared about her peerage, she would of helped Akeno, Kiba, and Koneko with their personal problems which would have helped them become stronger."

"But instead, she did nothing and hoped for the best.", Lucas figured.

"Basiclly.", Issei said. "Look at how Kiba was when it came to the Excalibur blades."

"Good point.", Lucas said. "Looks like the Rias is going to be in some trouble."

"Looks like.", Issei said. "But if it gets me a peerage sooner than later, then I'm all for it."

"Amen to that.", Lucas said as they clang their glasses together.

The next day, Issei was in his homeroom getting ready for another long day at school when he notced that five of his fellow class mates hadn't shown up. Class mates that were normally there by now.

'That's weird.', Issei thought to himself. 'They should be here by now.'

"Did you here". Issei overheard Katase ask Murayama.

"What is it?", Murayama asked.

"Some of our class mates were transferred to another homeroom.", Katase said. "Plus, we now have a new homeroom teacher."

"For real?! It's almost Summer!", Murayama said. "Why do this so suddenly?"

'Good question.', Issei said whe he saw who the last person he ever thought would show up in his school. 'You've got to be kidding me!'

{Well I didn't see this coming.} Ddriag replied through their mental link.

'You and me both, Ddriag.', Issei said.

Standing before the class was Azazel who was dressed in a black suit with a somewhat cocky smile on is face.

"Hello, class. I'm your new homeroom and science teacher.", Azazel said. "I'm Azazel Yuuma. You can call me Mr. Azazel or Mr. Yuuma. Now we also have five new students here so please help them feel welcome.", he said as he gestured for the new students to enter the room.

'Seriously?!', Issei questioned as Irina, Xenovia, Mittelt, Raynare, and Kalawarna entered the room all dressed in Kuoh Academy uniforms that fitted them pretty well.

{Somehow, I'm not surprised.} Ddriag replied at this.

Of course Raynare was in her "Yuma" form while Kalawarna was now in a much younger looking version of herself while Mittelt looked the same.

"Please introduce yourselves, ladies.", Azazel said as he took a seat behind his desk.

"Hello, everyone! I am, Irina Shidu! It's nice to meet you all!"

"I am, Xenovia Quarta. It is a pleasure."

"The name's Kala Warna. I hope to get along with you all."

"I'm, Mittelt Silverton. I hope to be friends with all of you."

"My name is Raynare Yuuma. I look forward to getting to know you all."

"Thank you, ladies. Now if you would take your seats, we can start the day.", Azazel said. "If any one has any questions, for our newest students, they can wait until lunch and break peroid.", he said as he began class.

Kalawarna, of course sat next to Issei, who wasn't to surprised that she was in his school. He was just surprised that she was in his homeroom! He was going to ask about it during lunch. But of course, when lunch came, the new girls were being asked all kinds of questions by the other students, so talking to Kalawarna was out. Same thing happened during break period. Which mean that Issei was going to have to wait until school ended. But even then, he along with Asia were called to the ORC for an important meeting, by none other than Azazel himself as he was sitting at Rais' desk while she was sitting on one of the now three couches that were set up in the ORC with hr peerage standing behind her. On another couch was Sona with her peerage behind her.

"What's this all about, Azazel?", Issei questioned. "Why are you a teacher here?"

"And why are you sitting at MY desk?", Rias questioned with a scowl.

"In a minute. We're waiting for someone to show up for this meeting.", Azazel said.

"What do you mean? You said you wanted the peerages of Kuoh here.", Rias said. "We're right here."

"Not all of the peerages.", Azazel said with a smirk just as a large yellow magic circle appeared in the room.

From the magic circle appeared Lucas along with his peerage.

"What are you doing here?", Rias questioned.

"Well Azazel did call for the Kuoh Peerages here for a meeting.", Lucas said. "I had to go get Le Fay, A-Ko, and B-Ko before coming here."

"You have a peerage, now?", Rias questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"Indeed I do, Miss Gremory.", Lucas said with a smile as he sat on the third couch while his peerage stood behind him.

"Perhaps a few introductions are in order.", Sona suggested.

"That's why you all are here, Miss Sitri.", Azazel said. "Why don't you and your peerage start us off."

"Very well.", Sona said as she pushed her glasses up on her face. "I am, Sona Sitri. The King of the Sitri Peerage."

"I am, Tsubaki Shinra. I am Sona's Queen."

"I am, Tomoe Meguri. I am Sona's Knight."

"I am, Momo Hanakai. I am one of Sona's Bishops."

"I am, Reya Kusaka. I am Sona's other Bishop."

"I am, Tsubasa Yura. I am Sona's Rook."

"I am, Ruruko Nimura. I am one of Sona's Pawns."

"I am, Genshira Saji. I am also one of Sona's Pawns."

"Thank you, Sitri Peerage.", Azazel said. "You're up, Miss Gremory."

"I am, Rias Gremory. The King of the Gremory Peerage."

"Hello everyone. I am, Akeno Himejima. I am Rias' Queen."

"I am, Yuuto Kiba. I am Rias' Knight."

"Hi. I'm, Asia Argento. I am one of Rias' Bishop."

"H-H-H-Hello e-e-everybody. I'm, G-G-Gasper V-V-Vladi. I'm Rias' other Bishop."

"The name's, Konako Toujou. I'm the Rook of the peerage."

"Issei Hyoudou, here. I'm the one and only Pawn of our peerage."

"Nicely done, Gremory Peerage.", Azazel said. "Okay, Stone Peerage, you're up!"

"I'm, Lucas Stone. The King of the Stone Peerage."

"I am, Xenovia Quarta. I am Lucas' Knight."

"I am, Biko Daitokuji. "I am one of Lucas' Bishops."

"I am, Le Fay Pendragon. I am Lucas' second Bishop."

'For now you are.', Rias thought to herself. 'Soon you'll be part of my peerage along with your brother.'

"I am, Irina Shidu. I am one of Lucas' Rooks."

"I am, Raynare Yuuma. And I'm Lucas' second Rook."

"I'm, Nozomi Hyoudou. "I am one of Lucas' Pawns."

"I'm, Eiko Magami. Lucas' second Pawn."

"Now with the intros out of the way, I have something to announce.", Azazel said. "This Summer all of you are to go to the Wyvernrealm to attend a meeting of the young dargons."

"Meeting of the young dragons?", Sona questioned.

"With the Khaos Brigade out there planning who knows what, we need to be untied and form alliances with other factions and patheons.", Azazel explained. "The Greek Patheon is already on board. Next is the Norse Pantheon. We somehow got Odin to come to the young dragons meeting. So we all have to be sure that things go well. Also, during your time in the Wyvernrealm, all of your peerages will be undergoing some training to be ready for any possible future battles with the Khaos Brigade."

"Who will be training us?", Lucas asked. "Besides, Artemis who will be training Xenovia."

"Sorry, but that's a surprise.", Azazel said with a smirk earning groans from the peerages.

"Can you at least tell us when we'll be leaving for the Wyvernrealm?", Issei asked.

"About one week after Summer Break begins.", Azazel said. "So if you all wish to get any training in before then, I suggest that you do."

"This going to be an interesting Summer.", Lucas said as they continued their meeting.

A week later, Lucas called his peerage over to his place for something important. Once everyone was there they saw that there were three other people there. One was a Japanese teenage boy with grey eyes and long black hair that was in a ponytail dress in a pair of gray pants and black shoes with a white shirt. Next was a teenage girl with green eyes and long blonde hair dressed in a green skirt with brown shoes and a yellow shirt. Finally, there was a teenage boy with brown hair and green eyes dressed in a pair of blue jeans with black sneakers and a grey t-shirt.

"Everyone, meet the rest of our peerage.", Lucas said.

"Greetings. I am, Ryuga Yoshi.", the teenage boy with grey eyes and long black hair said with a bow.

"Hi! I'm, Erica Belmont.", the teenage girl with green eyes and long blonde hair said with a friendly smile.

"Hello, everyone. I am Richard Van Helsing.", the teenage boy with brown hair and green eyes said.

"How's it going, Ryuga?!", A-Ko said as she and and Ryuga bumped fist.

"Quite well, my friend.", Ryuga said. "I see that you are one of Lucas' Pawns."

"Yep!", A-Ko said as she showned her ring.

"And now it's time for you, Richard and Erica to join.", Lucas said as he brought out the wooden box and opened it.

"So when you said Van Helsing, do you mean..."

"Yes. I am related to that very family.", Richard said before Irina could finish her question.

"And when you said Belmont..."

"Yes.", Erica deadpanned knowing where Nozomi was going with his question. "I don't know how they got all that info about our family to make those games, but here we are.", she said as she rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"As I was saying, it's time to make you three part of my peerage.", Lucas said as he grabbed one of the silver orbs that hasd the Pawn symbol on it. "Erica Belmont. Will you join my peerage and become my Pawn?", Lucas asked.

"Yes. I shall.", Erica said with a smile. "And I wish to have a pendant."

"Now, Erica Belmont, be transformed and start your new life as a part of my peerage.", Lucas said as the orb took the form of a silver pendant and chain that Lucas put on Erica.

Once he did this, Erica felt a surge of power flow through her as a set of white dragon wings sprouted out of her back while a white dragon tail sprouted out from the small of her back.

"Cool!", Erica said as she flicked her tail a few times. "I can use this in battle!"

"Richard Van Helsing. Will you join my peerage and become my Pawn?", Lucas asked as he grabbed another silver orb that had a Pawn symbol.

"Yes.", Richard said. "I want my piece to be a pendant as well.",

"Now, Richard Van Helsing, be transformed and start your new life as a part of my peerage.", Lucas said as the orb took the form of a silver pendant and chain that Lucas put on Richard.

Once he did this, Richard, like Erica, felt a surge of power flow through her as a set of bronze dragon wings sprouted out of his back while a bronze dragon tail sprouted out from the small of his back.

"So this is the power of a Dragon-Kin.", Richard said as he looked at his hands. "Amazing!"

"It does have it's perks.", Lucas said as he grabbed his second silver orb that had the Knight symbol on it. "Now, Ryuga Yoshi. Will you join my peerage and become my second Knight?", he asked

"Yes.", Ryuga said proudly. "And, I too, would like to have a pendant."

"Very well.", Lucas said as the silver orb formed into a silver pendant and chain. "Now, Ryuga Yoshi, be transformed and start your new life as a part of my peerage.", Lucas said as the orb took the form of a silver pendant and chain that Lucas put on Ryuga.

Once he did this, Ryuga, like Erica and Richard, felt a surge of power flow through her as a set of green dragon wings sprouted out of his back while a green dragon tail sprouted out from the small of his back.

"So how does it feel?", Lucas asked Ryuga.

"It feels right that I chose to be your Knight. For a knight is like a samurai.", Ryuga said. "I shall serve as your Knight and hopfully do my family and ancestors proud."

"I'm sure you will.", Lucas said as he and Ryuga did a warrior's hand shake.

"Is there something you guys aren't telling us?, Nozomi asked.

"My mother's side of my family comes from a long line of samurai. While father's side of my family comes from a line of dragon slayers.", Ryuga said surprising everyone but Lucas, A-Ko, and B-Ko. "So when I befriended Lucas, a Dragon-Kin, they weren't to happy. You can imagine how they felt when I told them about joining his peerage as his Kinght when he was able to form one."

"Something tells me that they went ballistic.", Irina said.

"That's putting it mildly.", Ryuga said. "My mother's side of the family is okay with it. It's my father's side that has a problem withit all. So right now, I am banished from my home until I am powerful enough to go toe to toe with my father."

"And you will be.", Lucas said. "But for now, let's just relax and get to know each other.

"I would like that.", Ryuga said with a smile.

Hearing that, everyone began to kick back and chill as they got to know each other. As they were doing this, Irina began to think about Ryuga and his situation. Understanding why he he wanted to be Lucas' Knight, she knew that she had to talk to him and try to get to know him better as well as apalogize for wanting to challenge him for his place a Knight. Later that evening, after having a hearty dinner, Ruyga was in his room getting ready for bed. He along with Richard amd Erica were staying at Lucas' place like Irina and Xenovia were. There was enough rooms for everyone to have their own room. Which everyone was happy for. But right now, Ryuga was about to relax in his room when a knock came at his door.

"Enter."

The door opened to show Irina enter the room dressed in a pair of blue sleeping shorts with a pink tank-top and her hair let out as it flowed down past her shoulders.

"I hope I'm not interrupting.", Irina said with a small smile.

"Not at all.", Ryuga said. "What brings you here, Irina?"

"An apology.", Irina said with a sad smile.

"An apology?", Ryuga questioned.

"Hey. You see, when Lucas first got his pieces, and began forming his peerage, I thought I was going to be one of his Knights.", Irina explained.

"But he made you a Rook instead.", Ryuga said.

"And with good reason.", Irina said. "But, there was still a part pf me that still wanted to be Luacs' Knight. So, I figured that I would challamge you to a duel for the Knight position."

"So what changed your mind?", Ryuga asked.

"Your reason for wanting to be Lucas' Knight.", Irina said. "You wish to bring honor to your family and ancestors. There's no way I could take that from you with all you've been through. So, I apologize for wanting to take it from you."

"There's no need to apologize, Irina.", Ryuga said. "We are comrades and friends who will be fighting along side each other against who knows what in the future. Let us work together and bring honor to our peerage."

"Let's!", Irina said as the shook hands with smiles glad to of become loser as friends before Irina let out a yawn. "I guess I'm more tired than I thought I was. Good night, Ryuga."

"Goodnight, Irina.", Ryuga said as Irina left the room. "She is an interesting one. Ming will like her when she meets her.", he said as he laid on his bed with his cell phone and pulled up a picture of a Japanese girl with long black hair and brown eyes dressed in a pink kimono with a white obi. "I will see you soon, Ming.", he said with a smile.

As for Irina, once outside of Ryuga's room, she took a second to lean back against the door with her eyes closed along with a smile glad to of made amends with Ryuga. As she stood there, she heard the sound of someone clearing their throat. Opening her eyes she saw Lucas standing there with a smile on his face causing her to blush a bit with a smile of her own. No word were said as he took her hand and led her to his bedroom which she was happy to go to.

'I may not be his Knight, but I am one of his mates!', Irina thought to herself with a smile. 'And that's something I don't plan on giving up for a very, VERY long time.', she thought as they entered Lucas' room.

Two weeks later...

It's a lovely Saturday afternoon and Issei is hanging out with Asia when they got a call from Rias telling them to get to the ORC, ASAP! Wasting no time, they teleported to the ORC where not only the rest of the Gremory Peerage was there waiting, but also Sona, Tsubaki, Lucas, and Le Fay as well. But the biggest surprise was that Grayfia was there as well.

"What's going on, Lady Grayfia?", Issei asked.

"You all have been summoned by the Dragon-Kin elders to the Wyvernrealm.", Grayfia said. "That is all I can say."

"Well let's go and see what they want.", Lucas said as Grayfia formed a magic circle large enough to teleport them all to the Wyvernrealm.

Once at the Wyvernrealm, everyone saw that they were in a large room where there were some people sitting high up looking down at them. Amoung them were Master Yung, Sirzechs Lucifer, Ajuka Beelzerbub, Serafall Leviathan, and Falbium Asmodeus.

"Rias Gremory!", Yung called out. "You are here because of how you've done things in how you've formed your peerage along with how your actions almost cost the life of one of your peerage members! If found guilty, you shall be made to pay for what you've done!"

"Well this just got interesting.", Lucas said.
