Dance With the Devil

DxD Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I own none of the series involved.

Let's answer some reviews here.

guest: Omakes aren't canon, poor Issei got pegged really badly either way.

Armiture: Atsuko was never part of DxD canon, so... I don't get that one.

Sagitario V: Yes, the Tendos will enjoy some peace and quiet for awhile. As for Issei and Ranma, well, you'll see. Fufufufufufu...

Andrew Greaves: I swear I've heard your name before. Anyway, yes, Atsuko is 100% fully functional in every way now.

As for the rest, I'm glad that you're all enjoying the fic.


Opening a window, Rias Gremory, a girl with blue eyes, long red hair that hung loosely down her back to her hips with her bangs being long enough to frame her face, looked out at the school campus. "Today should be pretty interesting, huh?" The wind blew into the room, causing her school uniform, a white long-sleeved, button-down shirt, with a black ribbon on her shirt collar worn under a black shoulder cape and a matching button-down corset, a magenta skirt with white accents, and brown dress shoes over white crew-length socks, to flutter dramatically.

"Indeed," a girl with blue-purpleish eyes, long, dark hair tied up in a single ponytail and wearing an identical uniform as Rias was. "I had the most amusing encounter with one of the new students this morning."

"Oh? What happened, Akeno?"

The girl giggled as she thought back and relayed what happened.

*Flash*

Smiling and waving at someone as they called out to her, Akeno walked the hallways. The students were mostly nice, though she could feel raw lust coming from both the boys and the girls. 'You can look, but don't try to touch.' She thought to herself. As she turned the corner, her eyes widened in surprise as someone with short, purple hair, walked face-first into her breasts.

"Thif if the breastest pillow ever." The feminine voice said before the person put their hands on her chest and pushed off, taking a deep breath. "...Well," the person grinned at Akeno, who was still blinking in a bit of shock, "first day at school and I find the best pair of tits in the school? I like."

"Lilith." A male voice said and the person in front of her stiffened as a young man, a little shorter than average Akeno noted, grabbed Lilith by her ear and tugged. "What did I tell you before coming here?"

"Oww! Oww! No seducing or trying to seduce anyone? I didn't mean to!"

The boy sighed and let go of her. "Sorry about that, it's hard to control her some days."

Akeno giggled and put her hand up over her mouth. "Oh, it's no worry at all. No one's hurt after all."

"See?" Lilith grumbled and rubbed her ear. "Besides, I walked into her, it's not like I snuck up on her, jumped on her back and fondled her." She gulped as the boy gave her a sharp look. "Right, right, um, I'm going now."

Sighing, he walked off, telling her to watch out before she ran into someone else's breasts.

Akeno just smiled as she watched them run off.

*End Flash*

"Breastest pillow ever?" Rias asked, giggling at the story. "Sounds like you had fun."

"Yes, she reminds me of Issei, just a cute underclassman who happens to be a pervert." Akeno giggled some more. "However..."

"Hmm?" Rias wondered why Akeno's expression suddenly became more serious. "Something I should know?"

"Both that Lilith girl and that boy with her..." A knock on the door interrupted her and she walked over to the door and opened it. "Ah, hello, Sona."

"Ah, hello, Sona, Tsubaki, what do we have the pleasure this morning?" Rias smiled as she saw her friend, a shorter, flat-chested girl with glasses and her friend's retainer, a tall girl with long hair and glasses.

"I was going to ask you that, your Queen told Tsubaki to have the four of us meet this morning here. So, what's the emergency?"

"We apparently have a couple of new transfer students starting today." Akeno started, getting a nod from the other three, "well, I met two of them this morning, and while it was faint, I felt Youki from the both of them."

"Are you sure?" Sona asked, getting a nod from Akeno.

"Very, what I felt reminded me of the Youkai I met in Kyoto last year, however, it was more... Hmm, I guess you could say more potent than almost any of the Youkai."

"So Demons then." Rias bit her thumb as she thought about it. "Any idea why they're here?"

"To go to school?" Akeno smiled as the other three face-faulted and twitched. "But I wouldn't worry about it right now."

"So..." Sona coughed as she stood up, grateful that only these three had seen her do that. "What should we do about them?"

"If I may," Tsubaki spoke up, getting a nod from the others, "perhaps instead of speculating, we could simply have them show up in your club room after school and ask them directly?" She coughed at the looks of surprise she was getting. "While Makai and Hell are not on the best of terms right now, instead of assuming that they're here for nefarious reasons, after all, if they can disguise themselves as humans they must be decently powerful and intelligent, they may be here for something that would not be a problem."

"You make a good point." Rias nodded. "Very well, I'll make sure to have someone fetch them at the end of the day."

"Then I'll make sure to be here as well, I'd rather not rely on second hand accounts." Sona smiled as Rias agreed to that. "Very well, we have class in a few minutes, and I'd rather not be late."

"Of course." Rias smiled as the four left the club-room.

It was during a break between classes that Ranma found himself sitting and listening to the rest of the class talking about random things. Most of the girls had flocked to Nuku or Mittelt and were talking about stuff that didn't interest him.

"Oh wow, your mom is the President of Mishima Heavy Industries? But I thought she only had one child."

"Ah, I'm adopted, my younger brother is going to take over the company when he gets older. I don't mind, he's a really good person, he found me living in a box and took me home. It's a good thing too, I had gotten shot from stray bullets and dad was able to save my life."

"Wow!" The girls were looking at Atsuko in shock and awe. "How long ago was this?"

"Hmm, I think it was less than a year ago, actually." Atsuko rubbed her chin as she thought back to it. "Yeah, exactly a year ago next week! I'll need to give Ryuunosuke a big hug the next time I see him."

"What about your birth parents, what happened to them?" A random girl asked and Atsuko shook her head. "You mean they're..."

"I don't know. I vaguely remember my mother, I know she always took care of me, but shortly after words I was homeless until Ryuunosuke found me, took me in and adopted me. And then I was shot full of bullets and nearly died."

That was... Technically correct, of course, Atsuko left out the fact that she had been a cat when most of that, Ranma and Lilith had drilled it into her head not to let that little detail slip out.

"Wow, it sounds like you had it rough."

Meanwhile across the room, Mittelt was twitching slightly as she listened to the questions that she was being bombarded with. "No, I'm pretty smart, I was placed in an advanced class... I just wanted to travel and see the world. No, nothing like that." Her face went red when a girl with glasses leaned in and asked her about her love life. "Wh...What's with that question?"

Ranma rolled his eyes and looked at the front of the class, amused as Lilith was talking with some other girls, who were glaring at three boys as if they were insects. 'Just what did those three do?' There was hardly a girl that didn't glare at them, save for that cute girl with long blonde hair he noted.

"No man, I tell you, that cutie with the purple hair, totally my type!" The guy with super short hair proclaimed loudly as he squeezed his hand into a fist.

"You would think that, wouldn't you?" The glasses wearing boy said as he looked at Atsuko. "That Atsuko Natsume, however, quite generous with her curves in all the right places, plus she has a natural grace about her that's almost animalistic and you get the feeling that she's a bit of an airhead."

"Plus those fun bags!" The final boy, Issei, Ranma thought he heard some people call him, "oh man, they're probably really nice to squeeze and fondle." He started grinning perversely and Ranma just shook his head and groaned. "Hey!" Issei and those two other boys were suddenly in front of him. "What's your problem?"

"Nothing, I'm just finding what you say boring." Some of the girls in the room started giggling as the trio glared at him. "I mean, I have no problem with you talking about breasts and all that, but that's all I've heard you talk about today. Don't you have any other hobbies?"

"YEAH! PORN!" The short-haired one yelled and Ranma fell out of his seat.

"Indeed, Matsuda." The one with glasses nodded and grinned. "Of course, my interest in breasts is purely due to the fact that with these glasses, I can accurately determine a girl's three sizes and if I really focus I can get the size of their nips."

Ranma felt like slapping himself on the face. "...What?"

"Yeah, Motohama's really good at that, and as for me..." Issei coughed and grinned. "I'm going to be the harem king!"

Most of the girls in class looked at Issei in disgust, Asia was looking a little confused as was Atsuko.

"PFfftbwahahahahahahaha!" Everyone blinked as they heard laughing coming from the front. "Really? Porn, being able to see a girl's boob size and being a harem king?" Lilith asked as she doubled over while laughing. "Oh my goodness! I'm almost sad that I didn't meet you three sooner!"

"EH?!" The whole class gasped in surprise and Ranma quickly stood up as the boys tried to move towards Lilith.

"Down horn-dogs, when it comes to perversion you aren't even close to her league."

"Are you kidding!?" Matsuda screamed. "I'll have you know that I can get the rarest forms of porn on the planet as soon as they're released! Ain't no one more perverted than me!"

Everyone was shocked when Ranma let them go and started laughing along with Lilith and even Mittelt joined in with them.

"What's so funny?!" Issei cried out.

"It's just..." Lilith began. "Three virgins who've never had their poles greased claiming to be more perverted than me when I've gotten arrested for the lewd acts I've been in?"

"But... I'm the pervert king..." Matsuda whimpered.

"AND YOU!" She pointed at Issei. "You think breast size defines a harem!?" Lilith yelled, foot stomping on her desk top. "If all it takes to satisfy you, is looking at boobs, then you are no harem king! You are too weak to be one! You will never be able to satisfy your women!"

"..." went Issei. He was used to people making fun of his dreams. He'd never seen someone attack his whole ideal of it.

"You would be the type of harem king whose guards kill him, or his harem does, and runs off with the other women!" Lilith continued. "A harem king must be able to satisfy all his harem, to leave them all passed out in bliss, to be glad they are in a harem, because the sex the king delivers would kill them if he focused solely on them! Where is that in your dream, virgin!?" she demanded.

"I ... but I..."

"But nothing!" she declared. "Your dream is dead, because you put only your effort into seeing, not exceeding!"

Issei felt his whole world collapsing as he fell to his knees in despair. "Was I... So shallow?"

"Now he!" she yelled, pointing at Ranma-who was rubbing his face. "This man will be a harem king!"

"..." went Ranma, somewhat certain he already was. He had a Devil, a succubus, a Fallen Angel, a Cyborg Catgirl... 'Well, I haven't done anything with her yet... Great, I am an otaku's version of a harem king. What's next? Finding some lonely older woman who's a virgin who wants a boyfriend?'

"I have taken years to train him up, to teach him the lessons that sex books have been based on!" she declared, much to Ranma's embarrassment. "He works to master his mind, his body, his very soul, all for making himself better, and thus, a better lover!

"What have you done, Issei!? What have you accomplished to meet your goal!?"

"Um... I did... Uh..."

Ranma sighed and walked up to Lilith. "Lilith..."

"Yes?"

"Stop tormenting the low-tier perverts," he leaned in and whispered to her, "and tone it down, you're starting to turn everyone on."

"...Ooops." Lilith rubbed the back of her head and got down. The last thing she wanted to do was have her succubus powers leak out and overwhelm the class. If she had been in succubus form she was certain that a few of the class would have already died from heart attacks by accident.

There was a reason she stayed in her smaller human form after all.

"Low-tier perverts?" Motohama asked as he adjusted his glasses. "I'll have you know that I'm a far more advanced pervert than those two! There's nothing you can say to make me feel like them!" He pointed, standing above Matsuda and Issei as they looked at the ground in despair.

Ranma sighed and turned to look at him. "Really? All you do is talk about boobs, study their sizes and watch porn, right?"

"Yes, but that..."

"Have you ever even fondled a pair of breasts in your life? No, scratch that, have you even seen a pair of real naked boobs in your life?"

"Well, not in front of me without peeping on the kendo club."

Ranma scoffed at him and crossed his arms. "Fool, that's way too low tier, when you've made women weak in the knees just from fondling their breasts, when you're able to tell me what your favorite positions are in bed, then you'll be more than a desperate low-tier pervert who probably has more sex dolls than actual friends."

"B...But..."

Ranma shook his head at Motohama. "Seriously, Lilith, I'm glad that I'm not as desperate as they are."

"Yeah, you usually try to find ways to avoid fun times."

"Oh my god..." One of the girls in class gasped as they watched the scene.

"Th...They're bigger perverts than the perverted trio!"

"How is THAT possible?!"

"Probably because she's a whore and he's just an over-sexed jack-ass." Mittelt muttered.

"Says the slut."

"What you say?!" Mittelt was up next to Lilith, sparks flying between them.

"Well, what would you call..."

Both of them cried out in pain as Ranma clocked them on the head.

"HEY!"

"That's enough, besides, class will start soon and if you don't calm down I'll double the sparring tonight."

"We'll be good!" They both said at the same time, sweating slightly.

"Good." Ranma grinned and walked back to his seat.

"We're low-tier perverts, Motohama!" Matsuda cried. "Like, I had no idea that perverts as great as us could be so low-tier!"

"SEMPAI!" The three yelled and threw themselves at Ranma as he sat down. "TEACH US!"

"One hundred thousand yen an hour." Ranma held out a hand and smirked as they face-faulted. 'Huh, Nabiki was right, it is fun to do that.'

"SERIOUSLY?!"

"I don't have time to waste, so either pay up or don't even bother." Ranma mentally sighed when the three turned away, growling. 'Good, I don't want to have to deal with them anymore.'

As fun as it was, he was getting an odd feeling from all over the school. 'There's a lot of magic here, what's going on?' Quite frankly, it was setting Ranma's nerves on end. 'I'm going to have to head back and dunk my head in a cooler of ice to calm down tonight.'

Walking out of the school at the end of the day, Ranma rubbed his head, other than the dirty looks some of the girls it was mostly peaceful. Well, mostly in the fact that he had struggled to stay awake through all the classes. 'Stupid elite schools.' He didn't know if he could handle this, but he had to try, mostly because Nuku's mother was basically paying for him being in this school for right now. 'Would be nice if Bishamon would just show up.'

"Excuse me." A soft female voice spoke up as Ranma felt a tug on his uniform.

"Huh?" Looking down, he saw a younger girl with white hair tugging on his outfit. "Can I help you?"

She nodded. "Please follow me, I was asked to lead you to my club room."

"Uh..?" Ranma sweat-dropped heavily. "Are you sure? I mean..." The last thing he needed was more ammo to give people to accuse him of being a lolicon at this point.

"It's fine, come. Oh, and if your purple haired friend is here, I'm supposed to bring her as well."

Ranma sighed, oh how he hated what was going to happen when Lilith found him. 'First she's going to be like...'

"Hey!"

Ranma nodded as he heard someone call out. 'Then she'll come over here and...' He did a double take as he saw Lilith and Atsuko heading their way. "Oh, what's up, Lilith?"

"Eh, just about to head home with Nuku..." She trailed off as she saw the little girl in front of Ranma. "Master, seriously, I know of your preferences, but can't you avoid doing stuff to her?"

The girl gave him a nasty look and he sighed. "And this is why I didn't want to follow you, I've got an unfair reputation hanging over my head and you don't help."

She nodded and pointed at the purple-haired girl. "You, you need to come with as well."

"Can I come?" Atsuko asked, getting a shake from the little girl. "Aww! Come on!" She pouted as the girl shook her head. "Alright, I'll head back then." She walked off, waving goodbye.

"Well, lead the way." Ranma said, getting a nod from Koneko.

"Man, what a day, I can't..." Issei muttered as he and Asia walked into the club room. "Oh! School Council President and Vice President and..."

"Name's Saji." The other boy in the room said.

"Ah, good, you're here before our guests got here." Rias smiled from her chair as Akeno and Kiba, a boy that was so handsome he had most of the female body of the school openly lusting after him, stood off to the side and against the wall of the room.

"Guests?" Issei asked in confusion. "Someone important?"

"You could say that. I had Koneko meet with them and have them take the long way here so we could talk ahead of time."

"So..." Issei and Asia sat on the couch across from Sona and Tsubaki. "What's going on?"

"How much do you know about the different supernatural beings out there, Issei?" Rias asked him, causing Issei to blink in confusion and looked at Sona. "Oh, sorry, Sona here is an old friend of mine as well as a Devil, so there's no problem with talking about this stuff in front of her or anyone from the Student Council."

Sona nodded at him. "Indeed, the entire Student Council is my peerage, so if you need to talk about Devil matters, don't hesitate to ask us."

Issei nodded and thought about it. "Well, I know there's Fallen Angels, Angels, Devils and Dragons. Is there more?"

"Plenty," Rias nodded at him. "To whit, there's spirit creatures called Youkai that tend to live in Kyoto and Demons who don't show up on Earth very much anymore."

"...What's the difference between Devils and Demons?"

"I'll handle this one." Kiba spoke up. "Devils, for the most part, tend to look human at all times, it's easier for us to blend into human society as a result. Most Demons have more monstrous forms, Ogres, Vampires, Oni and the like are all Demons of different types, and most of them don't blend in with humans. That's one way. Another way is the fact that Demons either live on Earth, though that's very rare, or Makai." Seeing Issei's confused look, he smiled. "Just think of it like their world, like Hell is for Devils and Fallen Angels."

"So, is that it?"

"There's two other things. Demons tend to cross-breed with humans a lot more than Devils do, it's not uncommon to find people who have some Demon ancestry in their blood in the world. Demons are also fiercely independent. Getting one to pledge their loyalty is very rare." Akeno continued, smiling and nodded to Rias.

"The last major difference between Demons and Devils happens to be our energy. Devils use magic while Demons use what is known as Youki."

"So..." Issei scratched his head. "Are Demons and Devils friends or something?"

"Unfortunately, no." Sona spoke up as she adjusted her glasses. "While there's not enough bad blood between Devils and Demons to constitute hatred one way or the other, neither side actually likes the other one."

"So, why are we waiting for them?" Asia asked in confusion.

"Because we have some questions for them." Rias smiled as there was a knocking on the door. "Well, looks like it's them. Come in, Koneko!"

The doors opened and there were three people standing there, Koneko, a small girl with white hair and yellow eyes and behind her were Ranma and Lilith.

"Well, this is interesting." Ranma rubbed his forehead.

"Welcome, Mr. Saotome." Rias smiled at him, trying to put him at ease. "We've been expecting you."


A bit shorter than the past few chapters, but I felt that was a good place to end the chapter.
