Dance With the Devil

DxD Chapter 8

Disclaimer: I own none of the series involved.

I should have clarified in the last chapter, but Issei never had to have the re-match vs Riser, thus he never had to give up his left arm to Ddrag and he hasn't achieved Balance Breaker yet.

The next morning Sona Sitri was walking towards the school, next to her was Tsubaki as they walked and discussed upcoming events. "Make sure that my sister does not find out about the upcoming family day." As much as she loved her sister, the current Leviathan was... SO embarrassing with her love of magical girls and the way Serafall doted on her... 'Ugh, she needs to get a boyfriend or something.' Anything that could take Serafall's attention away from her would be a good thing.

Of course, finding a boyfriend for one of the four Devil Kings would be hard as hell. Even if Sirzechs was married to his maid, Grayfia, though Sona had no idea why such a powerful Devil was content at being a maid for the Gremory family, such a union was rather uncommon. As much pressure Sona felt from her family, she could only imagine how things would be for Millicus when he got older.

There were times that Sona found herself envying Devils from less noble households, they didn't have to deal with the stress of being an heir or running a large extended family or the craziness involved in keeping things going through marriages and what-not.

'At least I don't need to deal with fiance messes for awhile.' At least until she found someone who was smarter than she was. But that was about as likely as finding someone who was either crazy enough, brave enough or horny enough to bed her sister. 'Now the only question remains is...' She was shaken from her thoughts as Tsubaki called out to her. Focusing on what was ahead of her, she raised an eyebrow as she saw two girls about her age, both in overly flowing robes that covered their bodies, yet revealed the two were very busty girls, that designated them members of the Vatican. While they had hoods to cover their heads, both of them had their hoods down at that moment and Sona could see one had blue hair with one green stripe in her bangs while the other one had long, red-orange hair tied up into long twin ponytails. 'So why is a carrot top and a blue-haired girl...' Her eyes narrowed at the large bundle on the blue-haired girl's back. 'I don't like that.' Walking up to them, she cleared her throat. "Weapons of any sort are expressly forbidden on school grounds, though as you are not students I would be willing to over-look this provided you have a reason to have them?"

"We do." The blue haired girl nodded at her. "Three of the Excaliburs that were watched by the Church are missing."

"I see..." Sona adjusted her glasses. "I assume that's why you're here then?"

"We've tracked them down to this city. Although pinpointing them will be difficult." The blue-haired one nodded to her. "You are one of the more prominent Devils in the city from our intel, we ask that you do not interfere."

"I have no problem with that, but I can only speak for myself and my peerage. You will need to speak with Rias Gremory about her peerage as well." She narrowed her eyes at the two of them. "Know that the only reason that I'm willing to work with you this much is because of the truce between our groups."

"Calm yourself." The blue haired one held up her hand. "Regardless of how our sides view each other, our superiors gave express orders to not antagonize any of the Devils in the city if we can help it."

"...What about Demons?" Tsubaki asked, getting a confused look from the two. "There are two, from what I have gathered, powerful Demons who live in the city and attend this school. They are currently seeking a criminal from Makai who they have tracked to this city."

Sona was glad that Tsubaki remembered that bit, she had forgotten it herself. "If you could wait a day, I shall set up a meeting with the other two."

The girls nodded at her. "How will we contact you?" The blue-haired one asked as Sona held up a card with a pentagram on it. "This is..?"

"A summoning card, usually used to summon a Devil to forge a contract. When we set the time up, either Tsubaki or myself will contact you."

"Very well." The blue-haired one took it. "I should note that merely touching this makes me feel like chopping my arms off."

Sona smirked at her. "Don't tell me that you have a cybernetic arm or something and can easily replace it."

"If only life were that easy." The girl pocketed the card and the two bowed to her. "I'd pray for your soul, but I'm sure that you wouldn't appreciate it."

"I thank you for your consideration." Sona replied as she and Tsubaki nodded back at them.

As the two girls walked away, Sona and Tsubaki overheard the two talking to each other.

"Xenovia, are you sure..."

"No." Xenovia answered and the two continued in silence.

Sona sighed heavily as she turned to look at her taller Queen. "So... Could you find Saotome or his pet succubus? I'll have a talk with Rias."

"What time would be best to set up then?"

"About four-thirty tomorrow afternoon."

Tsubaki nodded and walked off to find the two in question.

"You feel that?" Asia asked Issei as the two got close to Issei's home.

"Yeah, it's like when I took you to the church when we..." Issei's eyes widened and he ran inside. "MOM!" He cried out, hoping that it wasn't a Fallen Angel that had found out where he lived and decided to ambush him. The last thing he wanted was another situation with that freak exorcist that ended up with Asia dying.

Running past the kitchen, he got to the living room and yelled out. "MOM! Are you... Huh?" He stared as two girls, both with fancy cloaks on, though Issei noted that they both had the same symbols that freak Freed had worn around their necks. "Uh... What's going on?"

"Issei!" His mother smiled at him. "We were just talking about you."

"Hello, Issei!" The girl with twin long ponytails smiled and waved at him. "Long time no see."

"Uh..." Issei looked at her in confusion.

"You don't remember me?" The girl pouted, looking genuinely hurt. "It's me!"

Issei was about to answer until his mother caught his attention and showed him the image of the boy he used to play with. "What?"

"Your mother was really surprised too, but this girl is Irina Shindou. Back then," she shook her head, "back then she was more like a boy, but she grew into a real beauty, didn't she?"

"Huh?" Issei looked at the picture of the short-haired boy and then at the girl in front of him, his eyes widening in shock. "EH?!"

"You remember?" Irina gave him a small smile.

"YOU WEREN'T A BOY?!"

Irina giggled as Issei's mother chided him. "No, no, it's fine. I was a total tomboy when I was a little girl, and I had a really masculine face back then too. Even my own parents lamented that I was more like a boy back then too. You couldn't help but get confused." The girl smiled and waved them off. "Though..." She gave Issei a sad look. "A lot of things happened before we could meet again, huh?"

'Shit, she noticed that I'm a Devil?' He supposed it had to be easy to do for exorcists, but that didn't mean it made him feel any better. Looking at the blue-haired one, he mentally shivered, the feeling he got from her was one of a really dangerous opponent to face. 'And whatever that thing next to her is, if she unwrapped it, I'd probably be dead in an instant.'

"However, I have to take my leave today." Irina sighed dramatically as she stood up. "Thanks for having us over."

Issei's mother pouted as the two got up to leave. "Leaving already?" Behind her, Issei and Asia followed the three quietly.

"Yes, I'm just in town for a little bit and I wanted to show Xenovia all my old stomping grounds before we leave." She smiled at Issei as she opened the door to go outside. "Goodbye, Issei, it was nice seeing you again."

Xenovia gave Issei a dark look and followed Irina out of the house.

Issei stood there, panting softly, his heart beating incredibly fast, a cold sweat forming across his body as he fought down the urge to panic. 'Why do two hotties have to be my enemies? Why couldn't they be ugly old men instead?'

"So..." Xenovia looked at Irina as the two walked away from Issei's home. "He was your childhood friend, was he not?"

Irina shrugged helplessly, her palms pointed upwards as she bobbed her head from side to side. "While seeing someone from my childhood having fallen to the Devils pains me to no end, if he becomes an enemy, I shall strike him down. In fact, Xenovia, if he becomes an enemy, allow me to strike him down." She looked back at her friend pleadingly. "At least I can apologize to him as I extinguish his life."

"I have no qualms about that. If I were to be controlled by a Devil I would wish that you would be the one to stop me. I would feel better knowing that you stopped me rather than someone else." Xenovia had no desire to die, not yet at any rate, but if it was in service to God, she would have no qualms about laying down her life.

"So, shall we..." Irina started to say as she looked up and stared at an oncoming dust cloud. "What is that?"

"Whatever it is, it's getting close at a fast..."

The next thing they both knew, a ringing sound was heard as a high-speed object whipped past them so hard that they found themselves tumbling in the opposite direction of where they were headed before they crashed into some open garbage cans while being upside down, revealing skin-tight outfits under their robes that did nothing to hide their shapely rear-ends.

"Irina..." Xenovia groaned as she shifted and sat up. "What in the Lord's good name was that?" She blinked as she realized something. "SHOOT! My sword!" Standing up, Xenovia ran up the street where she could see her sword still wrapped up and laying on the ground.

Irina stayed on the ground, her eyes swirling and what looked like mini-people on bicycles riding around her head, all ringing bells.

(-)

"I hope I didn't hit someone back there." Atsuko muttered, she had sworn she saw a couple of girls in weird robes walking down the street but decided it wasn't a big deal, she didn't feel like she ran anyone over. She knew what that felt like after all. "Let's see... Where to next?"

(-)

The next morning Ranma, in male form, groaned as he woke up. Sitting up, or trying to as he felt a weight on his hips, he threw the blanket up to see Mittelt and Lilith licking at his hard dick. "Good morning to you two as well."

Running her tongue up Ranma's shaft, Lilith grinned at him. "I wanted a morning meal and I thought I'd share with Mittelt."

The blonde had a flushed face as caressed and licked at Ranma. She had been heading back to her room after using the bathroom and had seen Lilith walking into Ranma's room. She had wondered what Lilith was doing and was pulled into the room by Lilith.

Then again, she wasn't complaining, Ranma's scent was really enjoyable, especially when it was like this.

Ranma laid back and just enjoyed the sensations.

"Can I..." Mittelt asked, getting a nod from Lilith, who slid back and sat on Ranma's face, shivering as he grabbed her butt with both hands and buried his face into her crotch.

Mittelt stood over Ranma's hard prick and slowly lowered herself down on it, much to Lilith's amusement and arousal, she watched as the blonde pushed his dick into her anus. "Nnngh! I blame you two..." She whined as her butt easily took Ranma's shaft. "You made me like this."

Lilith grinned at her as she rocked her hips on Ranma's face. "Just admit you're Master's butt slut."

Mittelt bit her lip and groaned as Ranma bottomed out inside of her. "FINE! I'm Ranma's butt slut! I love his dick in my ass! I love it!" Tears were falling out of her eyes as she screamed that out.

"Hey now..." Lilith reached forward and pulled Mittelt's body forward a bit. "No crying." She kissed the blonde on the lips. "We love you too."

Mittelt blushed and moaned as she rocked her hips up and down, enjoying the sensation of Ranma's dick in her ass. "This is so dirty."

"And we love it." Lilith groaned in pleasure from what Ranma was doing to her.

Ranma wasn't even trying to say anything, he was just enjoying the sensations from his two lovers as he drove his tongue into Lilith's folds and his hands squeezed and groped her ass. Privately, Ranma was thankful that he had met Lilith when he was so little, who knows what he would have been like without a succubus teaching him to be a good lover?

'Probably some simpering fool who would freeze up anytime I'm in any sort of romantic situation.'

Oh well, no time for that, he had pleasurable sensations around his dick and a face full of needy succubus pussy to attend to.

It was almost two hours later when Atsuko looked up from where she was working out and saw Ranma, Mittelt and Lilith stumbling down the steps. "Morning! Having too much fun in your room?" She grinned at Mittelt blushed while Lilith gave her a naughty grin.

"And how do you know what we do?" Ranma asked her, wondering if he needed to strengthen the wards around his room.

"Lilith gives me detailed reports about the fun stuff you do." Stretching, the redheaded cyborg bounced around and threw a few fast kicks. "Really, it sounds like it could be interesting."

"Lilith..." Ranma began and gave the succubus a flat stare. "No corrupting Nuku Nuku."

"Too late." Lilith giggled before yelping as Ranma flicked her forehead. "Master!" She whined as she rubbed her forehead and the three finished walking down the stairs and into the dining area.

"Anyway, to answer your first question, yes we did." Ranma looked at Atsuko and shook his head as he remembered what happened next. Not that he didn't enjoy it, because he would be lying if he said he didn't.

"And then we spent over thirty minutes taking a shower." Mittelt muttered, blushing hard as she remembered the naughty things they did in there.

"And another fifteen getting clean after that!" Lilith giggled, causing Ranma to sigh in feigned annoyance. "Come on, Master. Do you know how many guys would kill to be in your position? You get two hot pieces of loli ass to bang every day if you want."

"Don't call me a loli." Mittelt muttered as she reached up to fix her hair in its short twin-tails style.

"You know..." Ranma spoke up as Mittelt started to grab her hair. "You look better with your hair hanging down loose."

The blonde blinked and then blushed hard and lowered her hands. "You...You think so?"

Ranma nodded to her. "Yeah." He smiled and cupped her cheek, causing her to blush as his fingers traced her jaw line.

"Ah, oh, okay." She stammered and blushed, letting her hair hang down loosely. It wasn't like it was too long anyway, but she felt weird without her hair in pigtails.

"I know!" Lilith slapped a fist into an open palm. "Master! You know how all the magical girls have transformations that make them naked for a moment but changes their clothes and sometimes their hairstyles?"

"Yes?" Ranma asked, raising an eyebrow. "What about it?"

"I think I could teach that to Mittelt." Lilith grinned at the blonde. "It's easy! That way you can be in whatever you want, but when you fight, you'll be in that goth loli outfit you love and your hair can be in your pigtails without needing to put any work into it."

"I wouldn't mind that."

"You don't need to do any silly dances or poses." Ranma told Mittelt, causing Lilith to pout, that was her favorite part of magical girl transformations.

"Well, if the bathroom's open, I'm going to go take a shower." Atsuko said as she walked past the three of them and up the stairs.

"Don't." Ranma said to Lilith without looking, who had her mouth open to say something as Atsuko walked past them.

Lilith closed her mouth in some annoyance. It wasn't her fault! She liked people with sexy bodies.

Ranma shook his head and walked over to the kitchen area. "Enough of that, let's get some breakfast and get going to school."

"When did you turn into such a studious student?" Mittelt asked, getting a snort from Lilith.

"He's always been that way. Even if he's bored at school or falls asleep in class a lot, he still gets good grades."

Ranma snorted as he took stuff out of the fridge to make for some food. "And who threatened to withhold sex from me if my grades ever slipped too far down?"

"Hey, it worked, didn't it?" Lilith stuck her tongue out at him.

"Why am I not surprised?" Mittelt asked, an amused smile on her face. As the food started to cook, she bit her lower lip as she looked at Ranma, who was cooking, then at Lilith, who was concentrating on the energy that was dancing around her hands, to the stairs where Atsuko went up to shower and then she stood up and walked out to the training area and looked around, before nodding and smiling to herself.

'I'm happy with this life.' Even if nothing else changed, she could honestly say that this was the happiest she had ever been. 'I just hope that the good times last.'

"Oh, hey, Mittelt." Ranma spoke up as he finished cooking. "Lilith and I have to see Rias Gremory after school. You can come with if you want."

"Huh?" The blonde tilted her head in confusion. "What for?" When he shrugged, she looked a bit nervous at him. "Do you need me, I mean..."

"Hey." Lilith said as she let the energy she was manipulating dissipate. "Enough of that. If any of them have a problem with you being there, they'll have to deal with me, okay?"

Mittelt smiled and nodded. "Thanks." Walking over to the table as Atsuko came back down, drying her hair while Ranma brought food over to the table, Mittelt said something that surprised the group. "I blame all of you."

"Huh?" Ranma, Nuku and Lilith looked at her in confusion.

"I used to be a sadistic bitch who put up a friendly exterior. Ever since I hooked up with you guys..."

Lilith smirked at her, knowing what she was trying to say. "Master has that effect on people. I used to not care about anything other than being entertained and myself."

Ranma mentally shrugged at hearing that. "How about you, Nuku?"

"Nuku Nuku used to talk like this and have an android body that was as artificial as could be." She then smiled at him. "But thanks to you, I can talk normally, I can feel the air, water on my skin and lots more." Atsuko closed her eyes and grinned in delight. "I don't care how things go after this, I'm happy to have met you too!"

Lilith suddenly snapped her fingers, suprising the others.

"...Why did you snap your fingers, Lilith?" Ranma asked.

"I just realized, since Mittelt's well adjusted, it ruins some fun because that means you can't reach up her ass with your massive package and knock any sticks loose." She sighed in disappointment.

"...I don't put things there," Atsuko said. "I was told that it hurts."

Mittelt blinked. "Wait, are you saying anal sex made me nicer?!" She couldn't believe that. How could having sex like that help her like that? "It only hurts if you don't lube stuff up enough and your partner isn't gentle with you until that hole adjusts and..." Mittelt trailed off, her face red and she buried her face in her hands. "I'm such a degenerate."

Lilith laughed at her. "Go on, explain how Master slides in super easily into your ass these days."

Mittelt just groaned in dismay. Why did she have to love these idiots so much?

When the other three started to laugh, she looked up from her hands and gave them an embarrassed smile. "You guys..."

"Oh come on!" Lilith said between giggles. "What's a little teasing between family?"

Mittelt blinked at hearing that before looking at the three smiling face and her face went from curious to a gentle smile. "Yeah..."

Even if she and Lilith teased each other and got after each other constantly, they were family...

...A weird, dysfunctional and overly sexual family, but a family nonetheless.

'I can live with this.'

It was later in the day when Ranma, Lilith and Mittelt found themselves in the front of the Occult Research Club after school. Knocking on the door, they waited for a response.

"Come on in." Rias was heard from inside. Walking in, Ranma looked at Rias, Akeno and Koneko. "Ah, you're here." She smiled at Ranma from behind her desk. "Lilith and Mittelt as well." She gestured for them to sit next to Koneko and Akeno. "The purpose of this meeting isn't anything you did, our two guests aren't here yet."

"Are we expecting some big shot from Hell?" Ranma wondered why they asked him to show up if that was the case. 'Did they find out that I'm a Devil?'

Akeno and Rias both fought the urge to laugh at that, though Rias was far more successful. "No, no, though from our point of view, they might as well be agents from Hell." Akeno said while smiling impishly. When the door opened, the group looked up as Issei and Asia walked in. "Ah, Issei."

"Yo." He waved and grabbed a chair for Asia so they could sit down. "I'm not late, am I?"

"No, you're..." There was a knock at the door. "Enter." The door opened and two figures, both dressed in church robes, entered the room. "Ah, you must be the representatives from the Church?"

The blue haired one nodded and sat down on the empty couch across from the group. Looking the group over, she turned to Rias. "I assume that all of them are your peerage?"

"No." Rias shook her head. "Those three are allies, however." She motioned towards Ranma, who waved at the two other girls.

"Oh." The one with orange-red hair gasped in surprise. "You're the Demon?"

"I'm a succubus." Lilith corrected her. "Master's a Hanyou and Mittelt is contracted to us."

"Master, huh?" The blue-haired one looked at them cautiously. "Very well, let's cut to the chase, I doubt any of us wish to be in the other's presence any longer than we have to."

"How kind of you." Lilith drawled out. "Mind if we get your names?"

"How rude!" The twin-tailed girl huffed at her. "If you're going to ask for someone's name, you should at least offer yours first."

"Fine, my name is Lilith Aensland, my Master is Ranma Saotome, now, if you would..."

"My name is Irina." The girl with twin-tails smiled at Lilith. "And this is Xenovia." The blue-haired girl nodded.

"So why are two executioners from the Vatican here?" Ranma narrowed his eyes at them. "Considering how many Hunters and Magical Girls are in this country, the Vatican never makes a move into this country unless it's something very dire."

Xenovia sneered at the mention of Hunters and Magical Girls. "Bunch of worthless nincompoops." Beside her, Irina showed a similar level of disdain.

"Um... I'm missing something." Issei spoke up, confused. "What's with the sudden hostility?"

"Yeah, even I'm confused." Mittelt admitted and noticed that the only ones not expressing confusion were Ranma, Lilith, Xenovia and Irina.

"Should we explain or do you wish to?" Lilith asked the two girls.

"No, please, go ahead." Xenovia offered, getting a nod from Lilith.

"Most Hunters are part supernatural in some way, shape or form, most magical girls are considered to be unskilled magic users who throw around splashy spells and give the executioners a bad name." Lilith clarified for the group.

"Just to be clear, we're exorcists, not executioners."

Lilith huffed and looked away in annoyance.

"Ignore her, we've had bad experiences with members of the Church in the past." Ranma continued. "But as Lilith pointed out, executioners or exorcists, as these two are calling themselves, take great pride in the training and gifts from God that they get. Magical Girls tend to have little formal training, though I've met a few that actually did train, and most Hunters are considered heretical because of the fact that their blood is considered tainted due to having some strong supernatural ancestry."

"You're very well informed." Xenovia nodded at Ranma. "It's too bad that you're putting out that blasted Demonic energy."

"Youki is just an energy that I have, nothing more, nothing less. If you consider that enough to consider me a Demon then that's all on you."

"Very well." Xenovia nodded to him. It was almost too bad he was part Demon, his experience in Japan would be a great benefit to the Vatican against heretical things in the world, especially this segment of the world. "As for why we're here, we're chasing a criminal who stole several Excaliburs from the Church."

"Shouldn't those be heavily guarded?" Rias asked, getting a nod from the two girls. "How many?"

"Three have been stolen and we were given two more to fight against whomever stole them on equal footing." Irina answered her. "The one not stolen is under his Holiness's direct watch and is under strict guard at this point in time."

"I would hope so." Rias mentally frowned as she heard that. "I thank you for the head's up, but why tell us?"

"Because we're sure that the Fallen Angels have stolen them." Xenovia looked at Mittelt and narrowed her eyes. "You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you, Fallen?"

Mittelt tensed at the look Xenovia was giving her. 'This girl's dangerous.' Shaking her head as more of the room looked at her, she gave Xenovia a glare of her own. "One, I don't know what the current leaders of the Grigori are doing, I haven't had any contact with them for months." She held up one finger before raising a second one. "Two, I'm under a long-term contract with Ranma and Lilith." She raised a third finger. "And lastly, this is the first time I've heard about any of the Excaliburs going missing."

"I have a question." Ranma spoke up as he looked at them. "I have no doubt that you two are very talented, but why did the Vatican only send you two? Are you being sent to die? If someone can steal those sword fragments, you two probably..."

"As I said," Irina interrupted him, "we were given our own Excaliburs to help us in our quest." She pointed to an arm band around her upper left arm. "This is Excalibur Mimic, it can become any shape the user desires."

"And this..." Xenovia patted her bundled weapon. "Is Excalibur Destruction. Between the two of us, we should have no problem dealing with those who stole the swords." She narrowed her eyes at the group. "That is why we're here, to hunt down the thief who stole the Excaliburs and take them back. And for that end, I have one question to Rias Gremory." She looked at the redhead, who raised an eyebrow at her. "What will you do with this information now? Will you join the Fallen Angels against the Church?"

"No." Rias answered immediately. "My personal feelings aside, I would never team up with the Fallen Angels under the current conditions, such a thing would quickly raise tensions and escalate the current cold war between our three factions."

"Good." Xenovia gave her a relieved look. "No offense, but our superiors had to make sure that you wouldn't do something like that."

"No, it's fine." Rias gave her a small nod. "Were I in your shoes, I'd be wary as well. Is that all?"

Xenovia shook her head and looked at the others as she and Irina stood up. "We only request that all of you stay out of our business while we take care of this."

"I can only speak for my peerage and myself, but I have no problem with this request." Rias said as they started to leave. "I merely ask that you do not take too long."

"Of course." Xenovia nodded and walked a few more steps before stopping and looking at Asia. "Excuse me," she gave the blonde a confused look, "are you not Asia Argento? The Saint that could heal all injuries?"

The girl gasped and gave a slow nod.

"Woah, really?" Irina tilted her head in confusion. "Oh yeah! Now I remember. I never saw her in person, but didn't you get exiled from the church as a witch for heresy?" Asia gave a shallow nod at that. "And you're a Devil now?"

"That is quite far to fall, to go from being a Saint to a lowly Devil." Xenovia shook her head. "It would have been better for you to have died rather than fall so low."

Asia gave them a surprised look, shocked they could say something like that.

"Hey!" Issei stood up and got in front of Asia, anger on his face. "Who are you to say things like that to Asia?! You don't know what she's been through!"

"We're just speaking the truth." Irina sighed at her childhood friend. "To think that a Saint would fall so far as to become a Devil, why it hurts to think that a member of the Church would become one of our sworn enemies."

"Enough with your crap." Issei growled as he clenched his fists.

"It's true, it would have been better for all if Asia Argento had died instead of becoming a Devil." Xenovia sighed at the angry looks she was getting. "Are you really that upset?"

"Yes! Dammit! If you don't stop running your mouth I'll stop it for you." Issei growled at her.

"Are you going to become an enemy of the entire Vatican for one little girl?" Xenovia asked him.

"I don't see why not." A new voice spoke up and everyone turned to look as Kiba walked into the room. "I have no qualms about it."

"And you are?" Xenovia asked the blonde haired boy.

"Your sempai."

Outside of the old school building, Kiba and Issei stood across from Xenovia and Irina. The blue-haired girl spoke up first. "Just so we're all clear, this match is just that, a match and nothing more."

"Of course." Rias nodded, "I'll only step in if a lethal blow is about to be landed."

Xenovia nodded and looked at Ranma, who merely shrugged. "I've got no skin in this, do what you want." It wasn't like he didn't care about stuff like this, but he wasn't all that close to Rias, Issei and the others.

Nodding, Xenovia and Irina threw their cloaks off, revealing skin-tight black body outfits that clung to their every curve. Ranma had to smack Lilith on the back of the head when she started to openly pant and drool. "Very well..." Xenovia unwrapped her bundle and the others looked on as an impressive looking broadsword with a wide head was revealed. "Then let's begin."

"Yes, let's." Kiba nodded and several swords appeared around him, the tips sunk into the ground.

"Sword Birth, huh?" Xenovia narrowed her eyes, she had thought that this blonde was a fool, but if he had a Sacred Gear that could do stuff like that. "I see..."

Gripping the arm band, Irina tugged on it and the others watched as it became a Katana in her hand. "Don't worry, Issei, out of respect for our friendship and current ceasefire, I won't use the full ability of Excalibur Mimic." She sighed and folded her hands in front of her. "This must be a trial by God and Saint Michael. To think that my childhood friend would stoop so far as to be lured in by the Devils." She closed her eyes and shook her head. "Oh God, forgive me, for I must teach Issei humility in your name!"

"Uh..." Issei sweat-dropped before shaking his head. "Well, we don't need to fight, I said what I wanted to say."

"No! I must show you the error of your ways and maybe I can help your soul find peace."

"I find that every night in Rias's boobs though." Issei muttered, getting a sweat-drop from Irina and a blush from Rias. "But I guess..." Holding up his left hand, a red gauntlet with a green gem over the back of his hand, his fingers looked closer to claws thanks to the gauntlet and near his elbow two yellow spikes formed, pointing backwards at him.

"BOOST!" The gauntlet cried out as he called it out.

"A Longinus?!" Irina gasped as she saw it. "And Boosted Gear at that?!"

"A weapon that can slay Gods, Twilight Healing and Sword Birth?" Xenovia shook her head. "It seems that your King has quite the collection of heretical Sacred Gears. Now some things make sense." She put her hand on her hip and shook her head. "To think that a reject of the Holy Sword Project would appear before me."

"What..." Kiba's aura erupted around him. "Did you say?" Beside him, Issei gave Kiba a concerned look.

Xenovia gave him a bit of a confused look. "But you went through the Holy Sword Project and you were found lacking and unable to wield Holy Swords."

"You..." Kiba snarled at her. "Have no idea what kind of Hell we went through in that project!" He charged at Xenovia, a black glowing sword in his right hand.

"Kiba, wait!" Issei called out, surprised at how Kiba was acting.

"You should never take your eyes off your enemy." Irina called out and gave a slash at Issei, who dodged out of the way. "Nice dodge."

As Ranma watched the fights, he shook his head as Kiba's sword was shattered by Xenovia's Excalibur Destruction. Seeing the crater that was formed when the sword struck the ground, he had to admit, at least the sword lived up to its name. "Kiba and Issei are going to lose." He muttered, getting a nod from Lilith.

"Oh?" Rias asked, though privately she thought the same thing. "What makes you say that?"

"Just watch." Ranma replied.

As the fight went on, it became pretty obvious that Kiba was too blinded by his anger over what Xenovia said and that Issei wasn't fast enough to keep up with Irina.

"You're dodging well." Irina complimented. "It's such a shame you're a Devil, you would have been a great help to the Vatican."

"I dunno, I've heard bad things about priests." Issei dodged under a slash at his head and started to grin as he got a third boost. "Now then, time to unleash my special technique!"

"Huh?" Irina suddenly shivered as she looked at his leering face. "Special technique?"

"Be careful," Koneko said, her tone flat, "the perv makes people's clothes explode when he touches them."

"KONEKO!" Issei cried out in despair. "Why would you tell her that?!"

Irina gave Issei a disgusted look as she heard that. "To think that my childhood friend would turn out to be a pervert of such an order! I guess becoming a Devil changes you in many ways."

"Ah, no, I was always like that." Issei rubbed the back of his head.

"I'm terribly sorry." Kiba sighed and Xenovia gave him a look full of pity.

"Hey!" Issei cried out in anger. "There's no need to be like that!" Squeezing his gauntlet-covered hand into a fist, he charged at Irina, seemingly disappearing. "Now then, how about..." He pouted when his lunge for Irina's outfit had her dodging out of the way.

"Oh Lord, why must you allow such perversions to exist in this world? Between Issei and that succubus, surely the world would be better off without this?"

"HEY!" Lilith cried out in annoyance. "Master, can I spank her?"

"No."

Issei took that moment to leap at Irina, who screamed and ducked under his jump. "Oh crap!" He realized as not only did he miss, but his lunge carried him over Irina and towards Koneko and Asia, where he touched them on their shoulders, and since his Dress Break skill was active...

...There was a tearing sound as the two had their clothing explode everywhere.

"You..." Koneko's eye was twitching as she stood there, butt naked, while Asia crouched down and covered her breasts, "pervert!" Punching Issei in the gut, she sent him flying towards Irina.

"GAH! That hurt!" Issei gasped in pain as he struggled to get up.

"You know..." Irina said as she stood over him. "This is probably God's way of punishing you for being a pervert. Maybe you should try to be a virtuous man and use your talents for good?"

"No way..." Issei clutched his stomach as he tried to stand up. "I had a choice between Dress Break and seeing girls naked with my eyes and I put all my ability for Dress Break."

Irina grimaced and stepped back. "Does he have the ability to fight solely on his sex drive?"

"You'd be surprised at the amount of people that can do that." Ranma answered her. "I know an old man who survives by his perversions."

"Ewww!" Irina shuddered, not wishing to meet such a person.

"I guess I can end this now." Issei tried lunging at Irina again, but this time she took a single step back before slashing her sword upwards.

"It's over." She looked really upset about that and Issei wondered what she meant before his mind was consumed by PAIN.

Trembling, he fell to his knees and then onto his face, his Sacred Gear disappearing as he passed out from whatever Irina did to him.

"I'm sorry, Issei, even that small scratch was too much for you, huh?" Irina looked at him apologetically and then at Rias, who was giving her a dirty look. "Don't worry, it's only a shallow cut, but you know how Holy Swords are to Devils."

Not far away, Kiba was charging Xenovia with a large, two handed broadsword, which didn't last as Xenovia struck it down with Excalibur Destruction and then drove the hilt of her sword into Kiba's chest, sending him flying onto his back. When he tried to get up, Xenovia stood over him, her sword pointing at his face. "Yield. This fight is over." Kiba glared up at her but nodded. Putting her sword over her shoulder, she walked away from Kiba. "The moment you pulled out that sword, you lost. The speed you're so proud of was useless when swinging around a sword that large."

"I'd say the moment he got mad at you was the moment he lost." Ranma answered as he and Lilith walked up to them and helped Kiba to his feet.

"I care not for the opinions of lowly Demons and their ilk." Xenovia looked back at him. "As well informed as you are, the mere fact that you are part Demon makes me weep for the state of the world."

"And what's that supposed to mean?" Lilith asked her in annoyance. "Lady, I dunno if you know, but there's no one in Japan who doesn't have some supernatural blood flowing through them."

"All the more a pity." Xenovia shook her head as she re-wrapped her sword. "But that's a big part as to why the Vatican leaves this country alone. There's no need to expend forces to deal with lowly Demons when we have Fallen and Devils to deal with."

"What?" Lilith found her eye twitching. "Lowly Demons?"

"Yeah!" Irina spoke up as she walked past them, her sword wrapped up around her arm again. "Demons have always been like the lesser creatures of the Moonlight World. I mean, it's not your fault that nearly everything in the world is better than you are." She tapped her chin as she looked at them. "I mean, you let yourself become a half-breed's slave, right? No way a Devil, Fallen Angel or Pure Angel does anything like that."

Lilith was twitching hard as she glared at them. Oh how she wanted to put them in their place. "Who are you to..."

"Enough, we have more important things to do than deal with a half-demon and his pet." Xenovia walked off, followed by Irina, who waved and smiled as she walked off.

"Are you okay?" Mittelt asked, having been silent as she looked at the two of them. She could feel the anger coming off of Lilith, which scared her, she had NEVER seen the succubus so worked up before. But what was even worse was that she couldn't feel anything coming off of Ranma.

"Lilith, take us home." Ranma grabbed Mittelt as Lilith nodded and the three disappeared in a black sphere.

Watching them leave, Rias sighed and shook her head. "I wish they hadn't done that." Seeing Akeno look at her curiously while Asia, who was still naked, healed Issei from the attack he sustained, she clarified. "Most Demons aren't much stronger than the average person, it's true, but any Demon that can take on a human form is generally a pretty dangerous opponent, you never know what they are."

"And Lilith happens to be a succubus." Akeno shook her head. "Well, that blows."

"Indeed." Rias nodded to Akeno before walking over to Issei as he got up. "Are you okay?" She asked him and smiled before hugging him and burying his face into her breasts. "Foolish Issei, don't do stuff like that, okay?" She looked at Kiba, who was looking troubled. "And Kiba, please... Don't do something stupid, okay?"

"I... I'm sorry." Kiba bowed and turned to leave. "I need to work through some things, please forgive me."

"Kiba..." Koneko, still naked, watched him leave in concern. "Please don't go." She said softly, worry evident in her voice.

I like Irina and Xenovia, I do, but they were pretty harsh the first time we met them in DxD. Also, why do they look like Subaru and Teana from Nanoha StrikerS? Yes, that's what I was alluding to when Sona made the "do you have a cybernetic arm" line.

And, yes, Nuku running people over, or nearly running them over and causing silly moments is another running gag.

Why would they look down on Demons? The main reason is that most Demons in this fic aren't on Earth as most of the really strong and dangerous Demons, Youkai and other Monsters are living in Makai. Youkai, Werecreatures/animal people (like Felicia) are known but face discrimination, and Vampires (which mostly live in Romania, apparently) are the most common Demons on Earth. Succubi aren't commonly seen. So, yeah, most Demons on Earth aren't that strong, over-all, compared to Devils and the like and thus are more easily dismissed as a threat.
