Dance With the Devil

DxD Chapter 5 Part 2

Disclaimer: I own none of the series involved.

Three days later, Ranma found himself with Mittelt at the school saying goodbye to Rias and her peerage as they prepared to go into Hell for the Ratings Game. "Too bad I can't help."

"It's fine, if Riser let me use other people not in my peerage I'm sure that my brother or parents wouldn't mind sparing me their peerages for the match." Not that Rias would accept them, she had her pride after all.

Ranma gave her a grin and held out a hand. "Well, just in case this is the last time we ever see each other again, Rias Gremory, good luck."

Rias gave him an identical grin and shook his hand. "Likewise. But don't worry, we'll win."

"Confident, huh?" Ranma's grin turned into a smirk that Rias matched perfectly.

Letting go, she walked over to her peerage and nodded at Grayfia, who had arrived a few moments before. "We'll let you know how it goes."

Waving goodbye as the group disappeared in a flash of red light, Mittelt looked at Ranma. "You like her, huh?"

Ranma looked at her in surprise. "Well, she is a good girl, smart, pretty, powerful and she actually takes training seriously." He was shocked at that last one. Sure, he met a few girls who had supernatural powers and abilities that trained, but most of them would have rather did other things. Not that Ranma didn't blame them, there were times during his training trip that he would have rather had gone home or played with kids his age instead of training after all.

Mittelt raised an eyebrow and put her hand on her hips. "Really? Enjoying training is something you like?"

"That's not it. It's like... Lilith likes sparring and fighting, there's others I met that train hard over the years, I respect those that take training seriously more than those who treat it as a hobby."

Mittelt snorted, she wasn't like that, she didn't like to train, but she couldn't let that slut show her up, after all, she was a former Angel! No way she could just let a Demon slut beat her that easily!

"So... Want to go get lunch?" Ranma asked as he gave Mittelt a light slap on the butt. When she glared at him while her face flushed, he scratched his cheek. "What?"

"What, he says knowing full well why he shouldn't slap me on the butt!" She huffed and walked off, blushing the whole time.

Ranma sighed and walked after her. "Just because you're a little sensitive..."

"A LITTLE?!" She turned and screamed at him, grabbing his shirt. "You..." She had tears in the corner of her eyes and she bit her lip. "You've been having so much anal sex with me that my whole butt is really sensitive when you touch it!"

Ranma gave her a smile and hugged her. "I know, that's why I did it."

"You..." Mittelt growled before sighing and letting go of his shirt and resting against his chest. "Why do I let you get away with that stuff? You're such a jerk."

Ranma said nothing and just held her, just enjoying the feeling of holding her.

It was ten minutes later when he let go of her and she turned away, her face bright red. "You... Grrr!"

"So... Want lunch?"

Mittelt sighed and nodded. "Sure." No doubt it would be some cheap, greasy fast-food place.

(-)

"I was wrong." Mittelt admitted as they sat down with the food on their plates. "An all-you-can-eat buffet?"

Ranma shrugged. "I don't have the money for a fancy place to eat, none of the sit-down places or food stalls felt right and you seemed like you wanted to talk about something."

Mittelt gave him a look that he couldn't describe before sighing and nodding. "Yeah, I wanted to talk about a few things, actually." Ranma nodded and motioned for her to continue as they ate. "Namely, why didn't you kill me when we first met? That's always bothered me."

Ranma shrugged and thought about it. "I have a policy of not killing people I just met, even if they're enemies, unless they're trying to kill me or others." He chuckled at her flat look. "You weren't an enemy at the time nor were you trying to kill me." There were some exceptions to that rule, but he wouldn't tell her that and he hoped that he never ran into anyone who fell into his exception anytime soon.

"Yes I was. I just didn't know you were a Devil. Doesn't mean I'm wasn't your enemy."

"Why?" Ranma asked her, causing her to give him a confused look. "Why should we be enemies, just because the Fallen Angels and Devils are natural enemies? I mean, you knew me as a Hanyou, so..."

"Demons and half-breed Demons aren't natural enemies of Angels. Gods on the other hand..." Mittelt trailed off and the two sat in silence as they ate.

"Then I have a question for you. How come you didn't try to attack us after I released you from the seal?"

Mittelt's eyes twitched with one raised upwards. "Well, that is, um..." Her face flushed and she looked down at her food and mumbled something.

"...What was that?"

She sighed and looked up at him, her cheeks still red. "I liked the sex and you were nice to me." She groaned, unable to believe that she had just admitted that. "I am such a fuck up."

"Huh? I don't think you are."

"I was created as an Angel serving God in Heaven." She sighed and shook her head. "I became a Fallen Angel because of the stuff I did. And now I'm a Devil, though that's not well known."

Ranma kept quiet and walked back to get more food while Mittelt picked at her food. After getting back with another plate full, he started to eat again.

"There had to be another reason you didn't kill me, right?" Mittelt looked at him, seemingly desperate. "You didn't because you knew I'd be a useful asset, right? Or simply because you felt like it?"

"Hmm, no." Ranma shook his head. "Nothing like that. I simply had no reason to kill you. Plus killing a cutie like you would have been a waste." He scratched his cheek and Mittelt felt her face turn bright red and she looked down to at her food some more.

"Thank you." Mittelt said softly.

Ranma smiled and the two continued to eat their meal in peace.

An hour later...

"Why are we here?" Mittelt wondered as they wandered around the clothing store at the local mall. What surprised her was how it was a specialty store that had lots of cute gothic lolita outfits.

"Well, you only have that one dress and some casual clothes that you got from Kasumi that don't fit her anymore, so I thought you'd like some of these."

Mittelt didn't hear him as she wandered through the store, surprised they had mini-skirts and even swimsuits that appealed to her. "I wonder..." She trailed off as she found the lingerie and smiled. It had been so long since she had proper panties after all! She was wearing regular ones, they just didn't sit well with her. 'Besides, I'd rather have sexy underwear than plain when...' Her eyes widened and pupils went blank as she realized what she was thinking. "No, no, I'm not, I mean..." Her face was as red as a tomato as she looked at the underwear. "No, doesn't matter, I'm getting these!"

Standing at the front of the store, Ranma wondered just what she was talking about.

(-)

As they walked through the mall, with Ranma holding several shopping bags, Mittelt was looking down and blushing hard. "Thanks for buying all of those." He had even bought the crotch-less panties for her!

"You needed new clothes." Ranma shrugged, it wasn't a big deal to him.

"Still, thanks. But... Um, why are you doing this? If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were taking me on a date."

"Huh?" Ranma looked at her in confusion. "I thought I told you we were going on a date today."

"HUH?!" Mittelt yelled in shock, her eyes wide. "Bu...Bu...But you didn't tell me!"

"Oh." Ranma laughed and looked up in confusion. "Could have sworn I told..." He muttered before remembering.

*Flash*

"You want to what?" Lilith raised an eyebrow.

"Spend some time with Mittelt tomorrow. Alone."

The succubus shrugged. "Sure, have fun, take her for some food, shopping and movie, then stop at a love hotel on your way home."

"So... Take her on a date?"

Lilith grinned at him. "Yep! Don't do anything to her that I wouldn't do."

Ranma gave her a flat look.

*End flash*

"Huh, guess I didn't tell you. Sorry."

Mittelt shook her head and gripped her shirt. "No, um... It's nice, thanks." She knew Raynare often bitched about her male targets taking her out on dates like this, Kalewarner also complained about it, but Mittelt wasn't seeing the problem. 'Then again, they were trying to kill their targets, not spend time with them because they liked...' Her face turned red again and she shook her head. 'No no! I mean, sure, he's nice, he's a GREAT lover and he protected me from those Devils. I guess...' She looked at Ranma more closely as they continued to walk through the mall.

Smiling, she walked over and hugged his arm tightly. 'Yeah, I could do much worse than this guy, even if he did turn me into an anal slut.'

"So... Want to see a movie?" Ranma asked.

"Sure!" Mittelt nodded, smiling brightly.

Meanwhile...

Atsuko frowned as she sat in the middle of the training area in just a pair of black biker shorts and a tube top over her breasts and looked at her flaming arm. "So..."

"Yeah, I can't figure it out either." Lilith, in a similar outfit, shook her head. "We tried touching the other spots that light up and it just did this." It was pretty neat to see Atsuko's lines of magical energy, it made her look like sort of like those robot girls from the video games that she saw a few times a few years ago.

"You even poured magic into it." Atsuko sighed and shook her arm to dismiss the flames. "This is all I can do though? I thought I was supposed to have Devil powers or something?"

Lilith waved her concerns off. "It probably has something to do with you being a cyborg. Or maybe you just lack the experience with manipulating higher forms of energy to do anything more."

"But why fire?" Atsuko had been wondering that ever since she unlocked it. "I mean, it's not really fire, but still..."

Lilith shrugged at her. "I have no clue." She snapped her fingers as a thought suddenly came to her. "OH! OH! Maybe? Maybe it's like that because of how you became an android in the first place! When you got shot as a kitten."

"You think so?"

Lilith nodded at her. "Yeah, Bulleta shot me in the leg once before, let me tell you, it BURNS like no one's business when you get a bullet tearing through your flesh."

"So because I was shot to death... I get fire?" Atsuko looked at her arm and then smiled. "COOL!"

"That's the best I can think of." Lilith said as she stood up and her succubus wings formed behind her. "Come on, I got some new moves I want to work on."

"Sure!" Atsuko got up and held her arm in front of her, grinning as flames covered it. "I'm ready."

"Good!" Lilith spread her wings out wide and focused her energy around them.

Atsuko's eyes widened at the attack she was seeing. "You aren't going to shoot a bunch of exploding pies, are you?" She blinked when Lilith face-faulted and her attack dissipated. "Uh..."

"No!" Lilith shook her head and stood back up. "But now that I think about it, this looks a lot like it. Oh well." She threw her arms to the side and flapped her wings. "Shining Blade Ripper!"

More than two hours later, Mittelt and Ranma, still carrying her bags, walked out of the movie theater, both of them laughing at the movie they had seen.

"Oh man!" Mittelt ran a finger over her eye to wipe the tears out. "I can personally tell you that Heaven is NOT like that at all."

"And that was supposed to be Satan?" Ranma shook his head. "What kind of movie was that supposed to be?"

"Well, I'll give the movie makers some credit." Mittelt smiled. "They did get one thing right. Angels aren't supposed to fall in love." Her smile slowly died off and she sighed. "Kind of sucks, you know?"

"I wouldn't know." Ranma shook his head. "I thought love was supposed to be the strongest emotion or something. I mean, lust is a by-product of love when you find someone who you're attracted to." He knew there were different kinds of love, his love of martial arts, certain foods and, even if he wouldn't admit it, his father were far different than his feelings for Lilith were after all.

"Don't ask me, I can't comprehend dad's way of thinking." She sighed and hugged Ranma's arm and rested her head on it. "I asked him once why people had to suffer and you know what he told me?"

"What?"

"He said 'suffering, as bad as it is, is a reminder that you have free will' and I still don't understand."

"You know, in a way, that makes sense." Mittelt looked up at him and Ranma smiled at her. "Think about it, everyone goes 'if we could just remove this bad element from humanity, we'd live in a utopia', but in order to do that, you have to strip away what makes humans, human."

"...But neither of us are human."

Ranma gave her a wry grin. "You know what I mean." When Mittelt giggled, he led her out of the mall. "Today was pretty enjoyable."

"Yeah, thanks." Mittelt couldn't believe how nice and relaxing today was. "So now what?"

"Well... You want to head back?" He smirked as she shook her head. "We got some time to kill then."

"Hmm... What to do now then?" Mittelt just didn't want the day to end just yet.

Ranma was silent and the two walked for some time in silence. Turning a corner, Mittelt's face turned red as she saw where they were. "Ah, this is..."

"We don't need to stop." Ranma answered her without looking at the love hotels on the street. "I can tell you aren't comfortable."

Mittelt squirmed and rubbed her legs together before shaking her head. "Just... use more than my butt this time, please?" When Ranma raised and eyebrow, she buried her face in her hands. "Mouuu... Don't..."

"Shhh, it's okay, I won't tease you." Ranma said as he led her inside one of the hotels.

(-)

"I was expecting a heart-shaped bed and a mirror on the ceiling." Mittelt muttered, disappointed that it was just a really big bed. It was a nice bed, it looked comfortable as all hell, but it wasn't what she was expecting.

"We have the rest of the day." Ranma said as he put the bags down in the corner. "Besides..." He walked up and put his hands on her shoulders. "Wouldn't you be embarassed by a mirror?"

Mittelt blushed and shivered as he rubbed her shoulders. "Maybe I want to watch myself?"

"If you want, I can record us having sex sometime so you can watch later." Ranma smirked as he felt her shiver. "You want that, huh?"

"Shut up." Mittelt turned and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Make tender love to me today, please?" She kissed him on the lips as he carried her over to the bed and put her down tenderly. "Before you ask," she said between kisses as he undid her clothes and slid them off, "you can use my ass too." She gasped as she felt his finger slide into her rear-end. "Ahhhng!"

Ranma grinned as he fingered her before getting out of his own clothes. "Here." His erect dick was pressed against her cheek and he grinned as she opened her mouth and took it in and started licking and sucking on it. "Mmm... Good."

Mittelt didn't answer as she reached up and caressed his balls while sucking and licking on him. She squealed as he got over her body and buried his face in her pussy. Even if she was almost a foot shorter than he was, it wasn't awkward at least. Though with the way his finger was pumping in and out of her butt and his tongue was sliding around inside of her, it wouldn't take long for her to cum.

Oh well, they had time and she was looking forward to having him shower her with all the attention she could handle.

She just hoped she would be able to walk properly after he was done with her.

Meanwhile in Nerima...

"Okay, I give up!" Nabiki groaned and banged her head at the table.

"What's wrong, Nabiki?" Kasumi asked, looking at her sister in concern. "You've been looking stressed for the past two weeks."

"Been wracking my brains, been trying to figure out how the hell to get over a problem I've been having and NOTHING comes to mind." Trying to force her Sacred Gear to evolve wasn't working and she was sick of it being useless to her. 'Come on, if I could just get that enhanced form unlocked.' She had spied on Azazel after going to him for protection and heard him talk about something called a Balance Breaker since he was working on some sort of artifical Sacred Gear.

"Perhaps you should ask father or uncle Genma? They might know how to help you."

"Suppose it couldn't hurt." Nabiki stood up and walked over to the engawa where the two were playing Go. "Hey, daddy, uncle Genma..."

"Yes?" The two said at the same time.

"What can we do for you?" Soun asked as he put a white piece down on the table.

"I've got a bit of a problem, I've been working to solve it, but I just can't seem to get past the last stage. There's some sort of block on it."

"Sounds like a mental problem." Soun narrowed his eyes before turning to look at her. "Have you tried meditation?"

"Yeah, but still, nothing is coming to me." Nabiki sighed and fought the urge to rub her head with both hands in exasperation. "I'm at my wits end!"

"Hmm... Well, if it's a problem that's bugging you, why don't you just look at the source of the problem?" Genma suggested to her. "That's what I would do in the past."

"Oh yes! I remember how you were having trouble with those two schools of martial arts you created. How did you solve it?"

"The Master, may he rot wherever he is, gave me the inspiration, actually." That reminded Genma, he would have to teach Ranma those techniques soon. 'Hmm, I think I'll head to Kuoh City in a couple of months, see how he's doing and teach him those schools.' The boy was more than skilled enough to use them and he was certain that Ranma wouldn't be stupid enough to accidentally kill himself.

"Look at the source..?" Nabiki blinked in confusion, before her eyes widened in shock. "That it!" She hugged Genma tightly. "I don't care what anyone says! You're a genius!" Letting go, she ran to her room, leaving the two men blinking in confusion.

Meanwhile in Hell...

Issei was panting as he looked at his opponent, Riser Phenex, who was a tall man with blond hair.

"Goodness me! To defeat Riser's Queen like that! Riser is actually impressed! Yubelluna isn't an easy opponent to face." Riser laughed in amusement. "And to do it like you did! Riser gives you praise, boy! Really, making her clothes explode and leaving her naked?" Riser scratched his chin and nodded. "Riser likes that attack and will find a way to use it on all female opponents going forward!"

"...Thanks?" Issei felt like crap, taking that damn mad fire bomber's attack after leaping into the air HURT like a bitch, but at least he got to plant his face in her tits and grab her ass. It wasn't like he meant to do that either, he was just trying to hold on since the explosion knocked him loopy for a moment.

"But, alas, this is the end." Flaming wings came out of his back. "You defeated most of Riser's peerage, but now he will crush you!"

"Bring it!"

"BOOST!"

Issei grinned, that was his fourth boost, he was certain he'd be knocking this guy stupid with his next blow.

Rias called out to try and warn him as the two charged at each other. "Issei! Be..."

At the next moment, ten feet of wet, heavy snow fell down on the battlefield, covering them, the battlefield, Ravel, who was the only member of Riser's peerage who hadn't been taken out, the surrounding areas and everything as far as could be seen.

(-)

Up in the viewing box for VIPs...

"What the heck?!" Sirzechs asked as he stood up in shock. "Right now of all times?!"

Behind him, Grayfia pursed her lips. "Lord Sirzechs, perhaps Cocytus is leaking magic up here? We never did check."

"You have a point, send the request to Serafall and have her people look into it." She was the foreign affairs minister after all.

(-)

Back on the battlefield, the snow erupted upwards as Riser let loose a yell. "THAT IS IT! RISER IS NOT A GLORIFIED SNOW REMOVAL SERVICE!" He screamed as he walked on top of the snow and noted that Ravel had burned her way out of the snow and was climbing out and Rias had used her power to do the same. "Riser is done!" He snarled and looked around. "Now where is Riser's opponent so Riser can put an END to this farce!"

"BOOST!"

"Huh?" Riser looked down in time to see a red gauntlet coming out of the snow and heading straight up...

...At his crotch...

...At high speeds.

"EXPLOSION!"

The resulting crunch and scream from Riser as he flew up into the air had everyone, including Ravel and Rias staring wide-eyed and hunched over in sympathy pain. And Rias HATED Riser.

Riser continued to scream as his body turned into light particles and disappeared while Issei climbed out of the snow, panting.

"Hey, Rias!" Issei smiled at her, wondering why she looked horrified and was doubled over. "Where's the jackass?" He blinked in confusion as she coughed and turned away, stumbling the whole time. "...What?"

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

Issei stumbled as he heard a high pitched scream off in the distance. "What the hell was that?!"

(-)

"Well..." Sirzechs said, his voice pitched upwards out of sympathy. "I think Rias won." He couldn't even BEGIN to imagine how painful that had to be.

Even Grayfia was grimacing in pain from what she had watched, and she was one of the coolest people in all of Hell.

"FOR ONCE RISER WISHES HE COULDN'T HEAL AND COULD JUST DIE!" A high pitched scream was heard all through out the area.

"I agree with him." Sirzechs muttered, his voice still pitched upwards and strained.

(-)

Issei wondered why Riser would scream that, but was glad his team won.

"Issei..." Rias asked as she finally got herself back to normal somewhat, she still found it hard to speak properly. "How many boosts did you have stored up?"

"That was my fifth one, why?"

"YOU ASSHOLE!" Ravel screamed as she flew up and pointed at Issei, her eyes blank white with anger. "YOU HIT MY BROTHER IN THE BALLS WITH A PUNCH THAT HAD THIRTY-TWO TIMES THE NORMAL POWER TO IT?!"

"...What?" Issei paled and looked at his gauntlet-covered arm. "I did what?"

"You hit Riser in the crotch, as hard as you could..." Rias said softly.

"RISER WISHES TO DIE! KILL RISER SO HIS PAIN CAN END!"

Issei fell to his knees and gripped his head in anguish. "GYAAAAAH! WHAT HAVE I DONE?!"

Ending notes: Yeah, I just did that.

...What? You thought I wouldn't do something like that? No one is safe when I let my sadistic tendencies run free.

But you can see why I said it was too much of a mood whiplash.
