Dance With the Devil
New 3
Disclaimer: I own none of the series involved.
Review answer time!
TheB: You'll find out soon enough who Ranma's daughter is. As for finding them out that Ranma's a Devil, DxD is pretty inconsistent with it. For example, Issei could feel that Xenovia and Irina were in his home and they instantly knew he was a Devil upon looking at him. Yet no one could sense Azazel or Kokabiel despite them being in Kuoh City. Heck, Issei didn't know even with Azazel being right next to him until he revealed his wings. Then there was Irina and no one could tell she was reincarnated into an Angel until she revealed her wings. You could argue that they're inexperienced, yet no one other than Azazel knew that Vali was half Devil. And I've talked to some others, none of them could tell me one way or the other. And you can't just go "well, you know by the magic/energy they use" as Georg can use Devil, Fallen Angel, Fairy, Norse and all sorts of other magic at the same time and he's human. Plus when it comes to "King Pieces" it wasn't until one of the top Ratings Game participants revealed their existence that it was known who had them or that they even existed. So it's not consistent in the slightest.
Kaiya Azure: And that's the whole point. XD
Unknown: It's quite possible but nothing's set in stone yet.
Mr. Haziq: If he does "Seduce the Satan" it'll be all Lilith's fault. And even then, Serafall does take her responsibilities as a Devil King seriously. She's super silly, but she wouldn't remain in her position for very long if she didn't. Same could be said for the current Asmodues as he's a lazy SOB who sits in his chair and sleeps as much as he can.
Ravel Phenix sighed as she walked past her brother, Riser's room. He hadn't come out of his room since the battle against the Red Dragon Emperor, and she didn't really blame him, even if he had long since healed from the horrible thing that happened to him, it had to be pretty traumatic. "Poor brother..." She wanted to help him, but wasn't sure how.
"Ah, Ravel, how are you?" Another woman's voice spoke up from down the hallway and Ravel looked up to see her mother walking towards her.
The current lady of the Phenix household looked a lot like Ravel, save for having her hair done up in a slightly different style and looking like she was in her twenties.
Which shocked people when they found out that she had four children and some grandchildren already.
"I'm fine, just..." She trailed off and looked at Riser's room. "I hope he'll be okay."
Lady Phenix sighed, as much as she loved her son, and she did, he had been getting too arrogant lately. She had hoped someone could humble him, but to have his testicles get absolutely destroyed by a random punch? Even though she didn't have any male parts, she felt tremendous sympathy for what her son went through. "Tell me, Ravel, do you hate the Red Dragon Emperor for what he did to Riser?"
"I mean... He hit my brother between the legs with a super strong punch and broke him." Ravel bit her lip as she thought about it some more. "I'm not happy with him, I don't think I can be happy with him, brother's peerage are all really upset too."
"Understandably so." Lady Phenix nodded before walking to the door and knocking on it. "Riser, may I and Ravel come in?"
"Riser wishes to be left alone right now."
Ravel squeezed her hands into a fist. It was hearing her brother's pathetic state that had her really upset with Issei Hyoudou, she knew that he was healed by now, she also knew that Issei had shown great remorse for what he had done, which was probably the only reason that her family hadn't requested compensation from the Gremory Clan over the events.
"Please, I need to talk to you and Ravel about a family matter, I'd ask your elder brothers, but they aren't here and you are, so at least allow your poor, old mother this one thing."
"Riser thinks you are laying it on thick, but will let you in."
"Thank you." Lady Phenix smiled as she opened the door, followed by Ravel. "At least you haven't allowed your room to become a mess." She walked over and sat on a chair while looking at her son on his bed and laying on his side, his back to them, in just a pair of pants. "Riser, I have no doubt what you went through was very traumatic."
"Riser can still feel the pain." He groaned.
"And I believe it. But I think what you need is a vacation." Riser turned his head to look at his mother. "Oh, and I have another reason why I'm here." She held up a Bishop piece. "I'm officially requesting Ravel's return to my peerage." She gave Riser a small smile. "I allowed you to have her in your peerage for awhile, but you must admit, people will think that you have an unhealthy attraction to your sister." She was amused when Ravel blushed bright red. "And, let's face it dear, if she remains in your peerage, it'll hurt her chances at romance in the future."
"Ravel?" Riser began as he rolled over to lay on his back. "Is this okay with you?"
"Well, I mean, mom's not wrong. Unlike you and Rias, I kind of want to find someone for me without needing an arranged marriage."
"Yes, I think this whole situation has shaken up the old families." Lady Phenix replied to them. "I hope that they stop trying to have all our children marry each other. Soon we'll be more inbred than Earth Royal families at this rate." She coughed at the confused looks she was getting. "Nevermind that, I was thinking that you and Ravel should take a trip to visit a cousin of yours on Earth."
"Riser has never heard of a cousin of his that lives on Earth."
"He's distantly related to your father." Lady Phenix waved him off. "However, while your cousin is alive, right now, he'd be a young child." She sighed as the two continued to look at her in confusion. "He's a true Phoenix, when his life ends, he turns into an egg and is then reborn. He's currently watching over some bird-like people on Earth as their God-King or something." She reached into her pocket and pulled out a vial with a glowing red substance inside. "I wish for you to go and give him this. It's purified Phoenix blood. He'll return to his adult self with this." She frowned at both of them. "And just so you know, no one else could handle this. If either of you takes so much as a sip your powers will go out of control and you'll burn to a crisp."
Both of her children looked suitably shocked.
"Oh, there's one more thing I should mention. The people that your cousin rules over are incredibly xenophobic and hate anyone without wings."
"So..." Riser sat up. "Who's our cousin?"
"I do believe that his name is Saffron."

Meanwhile...
"I have a job for you three." A male voice came out of the darkness and three men, all in Buddhist monk outfits looked at the tall person draped in shadows. "I found an interesting target that I want you to eliminate."
When a folder was dropped on the ground in front of them, the person in the shadows disappeared.
"Feh, I hate this." The first of the three said as he picked up the folder and looked through it. "That's a long ways away."
"If not for that blasted Demon boy and his pet wiping out most of us..."
The third one smirked at them. "Don't worry, we'll just have to take our frustration out on a bunch of Devil Worshipers when we get there, won't we?"
"Of course." The other two said at the same time and the three went to make preparations to leave.
The last of the three dropped the folder into the fire and let it burn, no need to leave any evidence behind.
As it burned, the folder flipped open to reveal a map of China with a circled area on the far West side, near Tibet, as the target location.

Meanwhile, back in Kuoh City...
"Excuse me, Lord Sirzechs..." Grayfia said as she walked behind the Devil King. "Is there a reason that we are walking to the Hyoudou residence instead of just teleporting?"
"I felt like it. It's been too long since I walked just for the sake of it." He smiled at the maid, who nodded. "Besides, I wanted to talk to Issei anyway." It was too bad Rias had something she had to deal with and had to stay behind at school, but that was the way things went.
"Um..." Issei gulped as he and Asia guided the Devil King and Grayfia to his house. "Can I ask you something?" Sirzechs nodded at him. "Why does she call you Lord Sirzechs? I mean, aren't both Lord and Sir polite ways to address someone?"
Sirzechs blinked a few times before bursting out laughing. "Oh man! No one's ever asked that question before!" Behind him, Grayfia put her hand over her mouth to keep herself from laughing too much. "No, my name is Sirzechs, you'll have to ask my parents why they named me that, but the Sir is actually a part of my name."
"Oh." Issei rubbed the back of his head and laughed softly. "Well, that makes sense."
Asia spoke up next. "Um, Lord Sirzechs, I was wondering, is it okay for a Devil King to be away from Hell for very long?"
"Ah, don't worry, my work is being handled by my peerage and Serafall put extra work in, so we can take a few days off to be in the human world."
"A few days?" Asia asked in confusion. "But the open house is only for today."
"Well, to answer your question." Grayfia answered for her husband, "there is going to be a conference between the leaders of Heaven, Hell and the Fallen Angels in a couple of days. It was decided by the Fallen Angel leader Azazel and Sirzechs that the school would be the best place, as the battle against Kokabiel happened there."
"Azazel..." Issei muttered, wondering what that guy was up to and hoped that it wasn't anything too crazy.
"Hmm, have you met him?" Sirzechs blinked in surprise when Issei nodded slowly. "Really?" The Devil King had no idea what that guy was up to. 'Probably something crazy that I can't even begin to comprehend.'

Elsewhere...
"Well..." Azazel yawned as he walked down a street seemingly at random. "I knew I shouldn't have taken that nap, I missed my chance to see what those Devil kids are up to." Oh well, if things worked out he wouldn't have to worry about that in the future. Turning the corner, he let out a grunt as someone crashed into him. "Oh dear, I'm sorry m...iss." His eyes widened as he bent over to help the woman up. "Um... Wow."
"Do you look this stupefied to all women with blue hair and a tight t-shirt?" The woman smiled up at him and accepted his hand up. "Or perhaps you're impressed by something else?" She winked at him.
"Forgive me for being crass, but your breasts are by far the largest ones I have ever seen, and I've seen quite a few." Azazel chuckled nervously.
The woman giggled at him. "Silly, I like it when people comment on my boobs, it makes an old woman like me feel a lot younger."
Azazel raised an eyebrow as he looked the woman over. She was wearing hiking boots, tight shorts and a white t-shirt, but he didn't think she looked old in the slightest. "If you're old, then I'm a fossil."
She giggled again. "Well, you're quite the charmer, I should warn you, my breasts have been called man-eating boobs by little girls." She pouted and hefted her large breasts up, pulling her shirt up and revealing her flat stomach. "They aren't that bad, are they? I mean, it's a pain to find a bra in my size."
"Well, I would say that they're almost unnatural, but I don't think they could eat a person." Azazel was fighting the urge to move his hands so he could grab the woman's breasts. It wasn't easy, but he had to look at least SOMEWHAT dignified right now. When she dropped her breasts and they bounced and threatened to rip her shirt apart, he nearly lost control right then and there.
"I thank you." She smiled at him and raised her arms above her head, stretching until there was an extremely loud popping sound from her back. "Hooo! I'll never get used to that. My back stiffens up so much that I have to spend most of my time laying down these days."
"I might know a few massages that can help loosen your back up if you're having troubles."
"That might be nice." She winked at him. "Just don't be too good, I might want something in return."
Azazel chuckled, he didn't get to see those Devil kids, but a woman with breasts as gigantic as hers? That was a treat in and of itself. Besides, if he played his cards right, he'd get to do a lot more than just massage her back.

Elsewhere...
"So this is where you live?" Nodoka asked as she, Genma, Akiko and Kyusaku, the latter two were kind enough to offer a limo ride from the school to Ranma's residence. "It seems... A bit overly large for just the four of you."
"Well..." Ranma trailed off as he opened the door and let them inside. "Not just four..."
"Ah yes," Akiko nodded and looked at Nabiki. "Thanks to Miss Tendo here, we've been making some serious progress on various projects of ours. With her help we figure that our latest project will be done in only a couple of months instead of a few years." Akiko wasn't exactly sure how, Nabiki had said it had something to do with her unique abilities and hadn't elaborated on it. "So I offered to help her transfer to Kuoh Academy."
"Really?" Ranma raised an eyebrow. "Was this the surprise you were going for?"
"Trust me, I need to get away from Nerima for awhile, plus graduating from Kuoh Academy has some serious perks for me in the future." Nabiki had to get away from her father for now, he had become inconsolable the past few days.
"We've already ordered some movers to bring her stuff here." Akiko smiled at Nabiki. "And after she gets out of college there's a job opening for her at my company."
Nabiki smiled at Akiko and bowed to her. "Thank you."
"That's cool." Ranma smiled and looked at Atsuko, Lilith and Mittelt as they came inside. "So that's six people living here now."
"Six?" The four adults asked in confusion.
"Genma!" A familiar old voice yelled out happily. "Oh! And Nodoka!" Happosai bounded down the stairs and stopped in front of them. "I missed you, m'boy! And Nodoka! You're looking beautiful!"
"Grandmaster Happosai!" Nodoka giggled at the old pervert. "I haven't seen you since before Ranma was born. Please tell me that you didn't end up in Hell for awhile or something."
"Almost!" Happosai pouted and pointed at Genma. "Your louse of a husband and his best friend sealed me in a cave for almost twenty years! I nearly died!"
"Aww!" Nodoka knelt down and patted him on the head. "There, there, I'm sure that you had it coming."
Ranma twitched, his mother was getting along with Happosai? Looking at Genma, the older man nodded helplessly. "Please tell me that Happosai isn't my real father or something."
Genma facefaulted and Happosai started laughing as he heard that. "Ranma, m'boy, I can guarantee you I have no children. I haven't been able to have any for at least two hundred years now."
"THANK GOD!" Ranma, Lilith and Mittelt all yelled at the same time. "OWW!" They all screamed and grabbed their heads in unison.
"Something I should know?" Nodoka asked in confusion.
"No, just Heaven hates it when you say God's name in vain." Ranma groaned as he rubbed his head. "Anyway, this is where we live."
"And this... thing lives here too?" Akiko asked as she looked at Happosai.
"Mama-san! Don't be like that!" Atsuko chided her. "Grandpa Happi saved a little girl from dying not too long ago!" Atsuko actually liked Happosai, he was kind of funny, especially his stories from when he trained Genma and Soun. Atsuko didn't like the stealing parts of his stories very much, but the training that he put Genma and Soun through sounded funny.
She had never heard of using a panty raid through a girl's dormitory to train speed and evasion skills before, but it sounded like it worked.
"Now if only he didn't leer at my butt so much." Mittelt grumbled in annoyance. At least that's all Happosai did, from what she could tell, he could have made her life more miserable than Raynare did when she was in a bad mood if he wanted to. From what Ranma had explained to her and Atsuko, Happosai apparently needed female energy to survive and the amount of sex that she was getting off-set any need Happosai had for things. "So glad that I could be useful in that regard." She muttered sarcastically.
"So, mind showing us around?" Nodoka asked her son, who nodded at her.
As Ranma and Atsuko took their parents through the place, Mittelt walked in a different direction. When she got far enough away from the others she sat down and formed a spear of light in her left hand and spear of darkness in her right hand. "It just doesn't make sense, I get that they're opposed to each other, but how come I can still use my Fallen Angel powers? Heck, why do I still have my Fallen Angel wings?" She couldn't figure it out.
"Seems to me that you're still having some trouble accepting your new role." Happosai said, causing Mittelt to look at him with an annoyed look on her face.
"Yeah, no shit." She dismissed her spears and slumped. "I'm worthless, even I know that. I was the weakest of Raynare's group, I can only throw a few spears around," though she had to admit at least Lilith had helped her shape her magic more and she could throw more than a few spears around, "and healing? That's something the Bishop is supposed to do, right?" She snorted at him. "I got just the most basic healing powers, what good am I?"
"Perhaps you need someone who can teach you more about your Fallen Angel powers?"
Mittelt snorted at him. "There isn't a Fallen Angel who'd be willing to help me, I was abandoned after all." There was no way she'd get any help from any of them, not right now. "Besides, even if someone could overlook me running away, I doubt there'd be anyone willing to teach me anything."

"ACHOO!" Azazel sneezed hard and shook his head. Thankfully he had looked away from his guest, who was laying on a massage table, though modified to let her large breasts hang out freely, so he wouldn't sneeze on her naked body. "Are you sure you don't need clothes?"
"Why? Embarrassed to see me naked?" The woman teased him and moaned as he started to rub her back.
"Nope, just making sure that you're fine with this." Azazel said as he worked on her lower back. "I hope you don't mind me..."
"If I cared where you massaged, I wouldn't have gotten naked." She replied, sighing as she felt the tension in her back slowly unwind. "So please, by all means, rub where you need to."
Azazel chuckled as he continued to work her back. "Be careful, if you keep this up, I might want to give you the happy ending."
"Mmm..." She moaned as his massage went up her back. "You should be careful, a girl might take you up on that offer, and then you might end up regretting it after we're done."
After several minutes of massaging her back, shoulders and neck, getting sighs and moans of relief out of the woman, Azazel found his hands squeezing her butt, getting a squeak out of her. "I find it interesting..."
"Hmm?"
"That I have no problem with doing this, in fact," Azazel gave her ass a hard slap, causing her to groan out, "I'd almost say that you're manipulating me somehow."
"I have no idea what you mean, and even if I did..." She groaned as he slapped her butt again. "You're not being entirely forthcoming with me either, are you?" She sighed as he worked on her tense legs. "If you want to know, I'll tell you, but only if you tell me who you are."
"I suppose since I asked first, it is customary in this nation to give your name first. Very well, my name is Azazel, and you are?"
"Part Devil, Part Succubus." The woman looked over shoulder and smirked at his expression. "Long time ago, before the war broke out, my father was a low-ranking Devil, my mother was a low-grade succubus, both perished in the war, only child. But I know of you, the Commander General of the Fallen Angels."
"And yet you're trusting me not to kill you because..?"
"I heard you liked large breasts."
Azazel chuckled and shook his head. "You got me there." As he worked her legs, he tilted his head. "So, back to my question, are you..?"
"Can't help it." She sighed as he worked her feet over. "Succubus side, mom told me that her species can make people get so over-stimulated they die from cardiac arrest. I'm constantly putting out an aura that makes it easy to seduce people around me."
"Explains a few things." Azazel muttered as he ran his fingers up her legs, across her butt, up her back and to her neck. "And what's to stop me from trying to hurt you?"
"Because I don't want to fight, I'm just enjoying the massage." She groaned as he reached under the table and grabbed her breasts, pushing them up.
"And if I want more?"
"I can only do it on my back, side or on my hands and knees, my breasts suffocate my partner if I'm in any other position." She answered truthfully and smirked at him.
"Well, thanks for looking out for your partners then."

The next day...
Sona tilted her head as she saw Rias looking absolutely miserable. Well, miserable for her, most people would see her as completely fine. "What's wrong?"
"My brother slept with Issei last night, I wasn't allowed to." The redhead sulked, sounding insanely upset.
"Uh..." Sona blinked a few times. "Slept with Issei?"
"Yeah! And they got along so well too! I swear! Isn't it the elder brother's job to make sure that his little sister finds the right guy or something by testing them?!"
"Um... Rias?"
Rias took a deep breath to calm down. "I'm fine, Sona. Just upset that I wasn't allowed to sleep with Issei last night, it's just not very fun when I don't get to sleep with him."
"...I see."
(-)
Issei yawned as he walked into the school with Asia next to him. "Man, last night kind of sucked, you know?" Asia nodded and the two stopped as they saw a large group in front of them. "Not again!"
"Issei!" Katase, dressed in full Kendo gear, pointed a Shinai at him while she yelled. "We heard you not only have been defiling Rias-onee-sama, but that you slept with her brother as well!"
"Defiling?"
Asia shook her head. "No! You got it all wrong! Issei doesn't defile her! I sleep with both Issei and Rias!"
"And innocent Asia!?" The crowd screamed and both Issei and Asia could feel a dark blue aura rising over the crowd. "DEFILER OF WOMEN! PERVERT! JERK!"
"NOT AGAIN!" Issei took off as the crowd chased after him. "WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO ME!?"
(-)
Lilith was in the girls changing room when several Kendo club members walked in in full gear. "Isn't it early to be practicing Kendo?"
"Not if you want to punish that evil pervert!" One of the girls yelled.
"Can't be Master then, if you tried to punish him all of you would be knocked out by him." That is, if Lilith wasn't there, then they might have been seriously hurt. No one tried to hurt her Master without good reason after all.
"That reminds me." Murayama looked at Lilith as she finished getting out of her Kendo clothes. "How come you call him Master? You his maid or something?"
"Or something." Lilith smiled at her. "So, what did Issei do this time?" She blinked at what the girls were saying about him defiling Rias and Asia. "Strange, I thought both were still virgins. I'd say maybe they're trying anal sex, but I can't see Asia being that advanced." Rias, sure, the girl had tried to have Ranma knock her up after all, but not Asia.
Several of the girls blushed at what Lilith said. "How can you speak like that?!" One of them yelled while Lilith blinked in surprise.
"There's nothing wrong with that." Lilith scoffed and closed her locker. "Anyway, I need to meet up with Master, later." As she left, she gave a lingering gaze towards Katase and Murayama before mentally shrugging it off and leaving. She could have sworn she felt their sexual excitement increase when she said "Master" but wrote it off.
Maybe they were just lesbians? Even with her powers suppressed in her human form, she still attracted people of all genders.
A sudden thought crossed Lilith's mind and she almost burst out laughing at it. She just couldn't imagine those two being secretly submissive and wanting someone to dominate them.
(-)
After school Rias led her peerage to a room that had been sealed off in the old school building. "My brother thinks it's time for me to unseal my other Bishop." As they turned the corner in the hallway before the door, they stopped as they saw a couple other people there. "Ranma? What are you and Lilith here for?"
"Was I not supposed to be?" Ranma asked in confusion. "I was looking for you actually, but then I saw this door and was examining it."
"Not often I see a multi-faceted seal on a school building." Lilith commented as she turned to face them. "Whatever's behind that door must be pretty dangerous if this is not only meant to seal away their powers but prevent others from getting in or out."
"I was just going to unseal it." Rias commented and looked at Ranma. "What did you need me for?"
"I'll tell you later, I'm more interested in what's behind the door right now. If you don't mind us seeing."
"I don't, actually.." Rias shook her head as she walked up to the door. "As I was saying to them, my other Bishop is sealed behind this door." She focused her power and the seal dissipated in an instant. "But I have to warn you, my Bishop is..."
"NOOOOOO!" A feminine voice screamed out as the door opened up, practically knocking everyone off their feet as they heard it. "I DON'T WANT TO COME OUT! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!"
"Gasper." Rias sighed as she opened the doors fully. "Come on, you can't stay in here forever."
"YES I CAN! JUST WATCH ME!"
Issei looked around the room and didn't see anything of note, a television in the corner, a couch in front of it, a laptop not far from the couch and some sort of coffin in the middle of the room. "So, where is this Gasper person?"
"EEEK! THERE ARE OTHERS?!" The voice screamed, this time from the coffin.
"Are we dealing with a Mummy or a Vampire?" Lilith asked as she narrowed her eyes at the coffin. "Because, lemme tell you, I don't like either very much."
"WAAAAAH! I HAVEN'T EVEN DONE ANYTHING AND SOMEONE HATES ME!"
Ranma gave Lilith a dirty look and the succubus slumped at the looks she was getting from him and the others. "She didn't mean anything by it."
"YOU SAY THAT NOW, BUT YOU'LL HATE ME WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE, WON'T YOU?!"
Akeno, frowning, walked over to Lilith and leaned down at the shorter girl. "I hope you're happy! Gasper is a very shy person and look at what you did."
Lilith sighed and looked down, feeling absolutely terrible. "Gasper, I..."
"WAAAH! YOU HATE ME BECAUSE I'M A HALF-VAMPIRE, DON'T YOU?!"
"No!" Lilith shook her head. "It's not you! I swear! The only Vampires I know are all egotistical jackasses that see themselves as better than everyone else and there was a Chinese Vampire that we ran into shortly after we entered China a couple of years ago."
"Sounds like an interesting time." Rias commented.
"Not really! The thing turned a village of three hundred people into corpses for fun!" Lilith grumbled, that hadn't been fun.
"I WOULD NEVER DO THAT!" Gasper cried from the coffin. "I SWEAR! DON'T KILL ME!"
"Gasper." Rias walked up to the coffin and spoke to her servant inside. "I promise you, Lilith won't harm you. She's like Akeno or Koneko, okay? She's really nice."
"...You promise she won't kill me?"
"If she tries to do anything mean to you I'll stop her myself, okay?" Rias said gently and pushed open the coffin. "Come on."
As the coffin opened up, everyone got a look at the person inside. Gasper had short blonde hair, red eyes and was wearing a Kuoh Academy female outfit while laying on her side with tears in her eyes.
"Oh man! A cute blonde girl?! This is awesome! Two cute blonde girls as Bishops?!" Issei was ecstatic. Sure, Gasper was a bit smaller than he liked, but she was still seriously cute.
"Actually, Issei," Rias chuckled in amusement, "I know what it looks like, but Gasper is completely male."
"WHAAAA?!" Issei looked around and everyone was nodding, including Ranma and Lilith. "How come everyone but me knew?!"
"I've met him before." Akeno, Koneko and Kiba all said at the same time.
"His aura is completely male." Ranma and Lilith said at the same time.
"NO FAIR! I was looking forward to having another cute blonde girl in the peerage! WHY?!"
Ranma looked at Lilith as she started giggling and panting. "What are you thinking?" When she started drooling, he got worried for Gasper.
"Master..."
"Yes?"
Lilith pointed dramatically at Gasper, who flinched. "SEDUCE THE SHOTA!"
"Seduce the... NO!" Ranma smacked her on the top of her head and sent her crashing to the floor. "I am *NOT* going to seduce the shota!"
"Eh heh heh heh... Master and Gasper... GLEE!" Lilith giggled more as she squirmed on the floor.
"NOOO! I DON'T WANT TO BE SEDUCED!" Gasper grabbed the coffin lid and threw it back on top of his coffin, sobbing loudly.
"Well, this was a waste." Rias grumbled to herself.
"Yeah, I'm sorry too." Ranma picked up Lilith and threw her over his shoulder. "We'll talk later when things calm down."
Rias nodded as he took off. "Gasper, they're gone now."
"WAAAAAH!"
Xenovia looked at Akeno and laughed softly. "Well, there's never a dull moment around here, huh?"
(-)
"Um, Master..." Lilith gulped as they stepped out of the old school building and Ranma put her down on the ground. "Are you..." She gulped at the look she was getting. "I was..."
"What were you thinking?" Ranma asked, his voice strangely serene. "Seriously, what? You know that kid was reacting badly from having people just entering the room, why did you do that?"
"I... I..."
Ranma shook his head and walked off. "You're going to have to apologize to him later, but right now, Lilith, I need to be alone."
As he walked off, Lilith held her arm up after him and sighed as she lowered it. "Dammit!" She punched the ground in frustration, leaving a decent sized crater in her wake. "I was only teasing, I didn't mean anything by it."
Getting up, she left the school grounds, visibly upset.
(-)
An hour later...
"I'm just glad we were able to help Gasper out." Xenovia smiled as she walked out of the old school building. Who knew all he needed was a paper bag over his head to help with his shyness. "Now we can WOAH!" She screamed as she fell over and crashed, face-first, into the dirt, causing her skirt to flip up and reveal her white panties to the air. "The hell happened here?"
Koneko tilted her head as she and Asia looked at the crater. "Someone strong punched the ground."
"Either that, or it's aliens!" Asia pointed upwards dramatically. "I bet you it's an alien!"
"Come on, why would it be an alien?" Xenovia asked as she got up and dusted herself off. "Besides, isn't all that stuff about aliens just superstitious mumbo jumbo?"
"We're Devils, you've met Fallen Angels, there's a Demon and a Hanyou that goes to this school, plus you fought against a possessed armor and you think aliens aren't real?" Koneko asked flatly, getting a blush from Xenovia.
"Well, when you put it THAT way, I guess it's possible."
"Anyway, we need to get ready for tomorrow." Asia said as she walked around the crater. "There's that meeting tomorrow night."
"Yeah." Koneko and Xenovia nodded as they left the area.

The next day, early morning...
Issei wondered why Akeno wanted to meet him at a nearby shrine, but shrugged it off as he got close to the shrine in question. "Where's..." He trailed off as he saw Akeno step out of the bushes in her Miko outfit. "Hey." He waved at her. "Is it okay to go into a shrine? I mean, we are Devils."
"It's okay." Akeno smiled at him as she led him up the stairs. "This shrine is one of several places in the world we Devils can go into without any downsides."
"Really?" Issei asked in surprise. "I wonder why..."
"Former humans hold onto their religious beliefs as you've seen with Asia and Xenovia." Akeno gave him a small smile. "So some shrines were made where those same people can find some religious solace, even if they can't pray to God anymore." As they walked across the courtyard, Issei couldn't help but notice how well maintained the place was. "In here." She smiled as they entered the building on the far end.
"So what are we..." Issei trailed off as light suddenly filled the room and an Angel, one with blonde hair, twelve golden wings and ornate robes with a white halo over his head, stood in the room.
"Hello, Red Dragon Emperor. I am Michael, one of the four Great Seraphs of Heaven." He smiled gently at the young Devil and Issei felt like a warm presence was filling the room just from him being there.
"I assume that you're like the four Devil Kings then?" Issei asked him, trying not to stutter over his words.
"Indeed, I am to Heaven what the four Devil Kings are to Hell." Michael nodded and held out his hand, an ornate broadsword forming in front of him. "This is Ascalon, a Holy Sword wielded by St. George long in the past. It's true power is that of a Dragon slaying weapon."
"Uh, you wouldn't happen to be needing to use that against me, would you?"
"Goodness no." The Angel said softly, his eyes looking at Issei calmly. "I wish to give this to you, as a sign of goodwill between our factions. You've met the White Dragon Emperor, yes?"
Issei nodded, he remembered the armor as well as the guy in his normal form. "Yeah, he was incredible."
"Indeed. However, from what I have gathered, you happen to be the weakest Red Dragon Emperor in history." Michael said and watched as tears came out of Issei's eyes as he slumped. "Therefore, it was decided that we should give this to you."
"Woah, no way, but, um, how will I use it?"
Akeno answered for Michael. "Just call out your Sacred Gear, it grows with the user and based on the user's wishes, you should be able to merge that sword with it."
"I guess..." A green flash on his left hand occurred and it was covered in a red gauntlet with a green gem on the back of his hand. "So, just like this, huh?" He took the sword and put the hilt against the gem and watched in awe as the sword merged with his gauntlet. "Neat, I can cosplay as Baraka at the next Krucial Kombat tournament."
"With that, I must depart." Michael bowed to Issei and light again flooded the room.
"Wait!" Issei dismissed his gauntlet, glad the sword disappeared with it. "I have a question for you!"
"I'm sorry." Michael shook his head. "I am very busy right now, but I shall answer your question the next time we meet, I promise."
And with that, he was gone.
Issei sighed, he wondered if the guy would remember it or not. Looking at Akeno, who was sitting at a nearby table, he sat down next to her. "So..."
"Just so you know, Issei." She smiled at him. "We used a combination of Angel, Fallen Angel and Devil magic on the sword so that you could use it."
Issei tilted his head, wondering where they found a Fallen Angel who would help them, before ignoring it. "Oh?"
"Otherwise the sword would harm you greatly." Akeno smiled at him gently. "Hey, Issei, can you tell me... What's your relationship with Rias?" She leaned close to him and Issei caught a look down her Miko outfit and saw that she wasn't wearing a bra. "Have you done it yet?"
Issei started to sweat as he gulped. "No..Not yet!" He squeaked, his nervousness causing his voice to crack.
"Really?" Akeno chuckled at how slow Rias was taking their relationship. "Hey... Would you like to? Hmm?"
"Like to?" Issei practically squeaked as she leaned closer to him. "Like to?"
Akeno giggled a little more before standing up. "Issei, do you hate Fallen Angels?"
Confused by the change of topic, Issei gulped. "Well, I don't like them all that much, but Mittelt isn't too bad of a person and she's a Fallen Angel, so I guess they aren't all bad, why?"
"You were tricked by one, tortured and killed by her too, Asia suffered by their hands as well." Akeno said softly. "You know, my mother was a Shrine Maiden. Before I was born, she found an injured Fallen Angel. Taking him in, they fell in love and shortly after, I came into the world." She loosened her outfit, letting the top slide down and her large breasts to be bared to Issei. "I must be detestable to you now, huh?" Behind her right shoulder, her Devil wing formed, but behind her left shoulder, a black, feathery wing formed behind her. "These detestable black wings." She bit her lip. "I once grew up loving them, but after..."
"Akeno? What..."
"My mother, she was killed, all because she decided to have me as her daughter. And father..." She trembled in anger. "He wasn't there. The time we needed him most, and he wasn't there for us. I couldn't stand him, just like you probably think I'm disgusting now, huh? For being contaminated by being a Fallen Angel."
"That's not true." Issei shook his head. "You not disgusting. You might be a Fallen Angel, but you're Akeno, one of the most beautiful women around." He smiled as her eyes widened in shock. "It doesn't matter where you come from, you're still you."
The next thing he knew, she tackled him to the floor and hugged him tightly. "Hey..." She whispered after a few minutes. "Issei, I know you love Rias, I know Asia's close to you too, and you have other girls that want you. But... Would you consider lowering yourself to being with me?"
"Akeno?" Issei asked softly. "What are you..?"
"I don't even care if I'm just a side-girl or if you just want a casual fling." She looked at him, fear, doubt and uncertainty in her eyes. "If you can stomach..."
"Akeno, calm down." Issei put his hands on her shoulders. He wanted to fondle her boobs, but he could tell she didn't need that, not now. "You're not disgusting, Akeno." He repeated for her and smiled at her. "Any guy who you would choose would be a lucky guy."
"Issei..." Akeno looked at him, her eyes tearing up. "You foolish..." She wiped her eyes and smiled more brightly. "You really are a charmer, aren't you?"
Before Issei could respond, there was the sound of a throat clearing and both of them turned to look at the door to see Rias standing there, an annoyed look on her face. "I trust that Issei has the sword then?"
"Yeah." Akeno said, her voice hiding the annoyance she felt, as she pulled her outfit up. "You have wonderful timing." Sarcasm was laced in her words and even Issei picked it up.
"I'd rather you not try to seduce my servant when I'm not around." Rias huffed and turned to leave. "Issei, come on."
"Is that all he is to you?" Akeno asked as Rias and Issei, who apologized to her, left. "Is he just your servant? I know you like him." She knew Rias wouldn't answer her

As they left the shrine and walked down the stairs, Rias was quiet and thinking about what Akeno said as they left. 'No, that's not what Issei is to me.'
"President? Are you okay?" Issei asked and Rias looked over her shoulder at him sadly.
"President?" She whispered and sighed. "Sometimes, Issei, I feel like, despite sleeping naked next to you every night, I feel like I'm the one who's furthest away from you."
Issei looked at her in confusion as she left him standing there alone.

It was around noon when Issei found himself back at the school carrying a large sack behind him. "Hey, Saji, thanks for showing up."
"I wasn't doing anything anyway." Saji replied as they walked across the school yard. "So what are we doing here anyway?" He noticed Koneko, Kiba and a blonde cutie he had never seen before. "Woah! Who's that girl?" He asked as they got closer.
"Eeek!" The girl hid behind Kiba, who just chuckled in amusement.
"That's Gasper and he's actually a guy." Issei replied, causing Saji to fall to his knees and cry out in despair. "Yeah, I know the feeling, I felt the same way when I met him."
"It's not fair! Even the guys around you are super cute!"
"Anyway," Issei ignored Saji. "I asked you all here today because I want to help Gasper control his Sacred Gear. The President mentioned you couldn't control it?"
Gasper peeked out from behind Kiba and nodded. "Uh huh. I don't like my Sacred Gear."
"Yeah, but stopping time? Gotta admit, that's pretty awesome." Issei smiled at him and Kiba, who just groaned.
"You're not going to make Gaspy do something perverted with it, are you?" Koneko asked in annoyance.
"No! I would never force him to do anything." Issei waved off her concerns. "Anyway, Gasper, we're going to play a game."
"I like games." Gasper replied and looked at Issei. "What are we playing?"
"Dodgeball." Issei grinned as he reached into the sack and pulled out a soft foam ball. "But instead of dodging, you're going to try to use your powers to stop the balls from hitting you."
"EEEK! I don't like pain!"
"Actually, now that you mention pain, I have to ask, how come you aren't burning up in the sun?" Issei looked at Gasper, he seemed to be perfectly fine, despite being out in the mid-day sunlight.
"I'm from a vampire clan that can walk in the daylight with no problem."
"Huh, I was half-expecting a "because I'm half human" answer." Issei laughed. "Anyway, we'll all throw balls at Gasper and he has to stop them with his powers. Don't worry, I didn't get anything like baseballs."
Gasper nodded as Kiba and Koneko walked over to the bag and pulled out various balls. "Okay, I'm ready! I'll stop all the balls!"
(-)
"I COULDN'T STOP ANY OF THEM!" Gasper cried from where he laid on his back.
"Well, this was a bust." Issei muttered, he figured it would be when Koneko accidentally threw a ball so hard that it knocked Gasper off his feet. Then the poor kid's Sacred Gear went a bit out of control and everything around him stopped for a little bit.
"Maybe we should call it a day?" Kiba suggested, feeling bad for Gasper. Not only was he a half-Vampire and Vampires were, from what Rias had told him, far more anal about things like purity of blood, but he had a Sacred Gear that he couldn't get under control.
"Well, this is what you're doing, huh?" A male voice spoke up and everyone looked in the direction of the voice to see a man in a brown kimono, brown hair with blonde bangs leaning against a tree.
"You're that Azazel guy!" Issei gasped as he saw the man.
"Hey! Glad you remembered me." He smiled and waved at them. "Anyway, I was just passing by when I saw what you were doing. That Sacred Gear the kid has, that's pretty hard to control."
Gasper sniffled and nodded.
"Anyway," Azazel waved his hand at the suspicious looks he was getting, "you there," he pointed at Saji. "Could you bring out your Sacred Gear?"
On Saji's left wrist, a black device that looked like a lizard head appeared on his arm. "What about it?"
Azazel just smiled. "You know, if you use that Absorption line ability of Vritra, you could drain the kid's power and transfer it to either yourself or others. With less power to overwhelm him, he might gain some measure of control with it." He turned and walked away, waving as he did so. "Do what you want with this information, kiddos, I'll see you tonight."

Meanwhile...
Walking down the street, Vali wondered why the day was taking so long. Once tonight was over, he'd be able to go and deal with...
His train of thought was interrupted by a large dust cloud heading his way. "What the?" He blinked in surprise. Narrowing his eyes, he saw girl on a bike pedaling like an insane lunatic. "Hey! Stop!" He yelled as he saw her about to hit a little kid not far from him. Running and preparing to call forth his Sacred Gear, he watched as the girl jumped off the street, while still on her bike, onto fences and then over him and onto the street again.
Vali blinked several times in shock. First, he was rather impressed by the fact that the girl did that without destroying her bike and that no one was hurt. And secondly he had gotten a good look up the girl's skirt.
"Purple panties?" He asked no one in particular.

The sun was about to set and the time for the meeting was drawing closer. Nabiki, Atsuko and Mittelt had left already, however, Lilith was sitting at the table at home, slumped over and sighing. She hadn't seen Ranma since yesterday and he hadn't come home. "Master..." She whimpered.
When the door opened, she didn't even look up.
"Lilith." Her eyes snapped open as she heard Ranma's voice. "Come on." He put his hand on her shoulder and gave it a squeeze. "I'm sorry."
She turned her head to look at him. "Master?"
Kneeling down next to her, he sighed and ran a hand through her hair. "You didn't sleep last night, did you?" Lilith shook her head and he leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead. "I shouldn't have gotten mad."
"I shouldn't have teased Gasper." Lilith hugged Ranma and sighed happily as he returned the hug. "I'm sorry I made you mad."
Ranma didn't say anything, he knew if he did, they'd be apologizing to each other for the next few hours. "Forgive me?"
"I was never mad at you, Master." Lilith smiled happily and tightened her hug. "Just don't leave like that again."
"Sure." He nodded and let go. "Come on." He stood up and offered her his hand. "We need to get to the meeting, it's starting soon."
Lilith nodded and took his hand. "Sure."
"Seduce the Shota" is a line I've been wanting to use for a LONG time.
As for the aliens thing, well, that's a reference to the side story where Azazel sees a documentary on UFOs and then makes one himself. Irina and Xenovia rush off to find the UFO because they wanted to see it. The whole situation ends with Issei losing his sex drive and Azazel taking a fan to the head. It's all fixed at the end though.
