Dance With the Devil
Shake Up Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I own none of the series involved, for if I did they would be a lot more perverted.
To answer some reviews:
Mr. Haziq: I've never actually seen Jojo, I know of the more famous aspects of it and the memes, but I've never seen it. So if anything looks like it's from Jojo, it's a coincidence.
tamagat: Never read the books, so, like with Jojo, purely coincidental.
Guest: Since Raynare raped Issei's ass before killing him, I wonder if he considers his virginity lost or not. XD
Hiryo: Nabs won't be the next God, though imagine what someone with enough power could do with those Irregular Sacred Gears?
Warning: This is another chapter where I let my sadistic tendencies run free.
Chapter 2
"Urgh." Mittelt grunted as she stepped over a dead animal corpse. "What the hell? You'd think scavengers would have picked it clean by now."
Ranma was silent as he helped her over a large rock. "You doing okay?"
The petite blonde sighed heavily. "Not really, I'd love to just spread my wings and fly, but here we are, trudging through China. WHY can't we fly again?!"
"Because the Chinese military doesn't need another reason to come to this part of the country." Ranma replied to her. "We're making good time. The last time I came through China it took me over two weeks to get this far."
"Yeah, but weren't you stopping more often?" Mittelt asked and pulled out a water bottle. "Where are we, anyway?"
"That and Lilith didn't warp us half-way across China like she did this time." Ranma chuckled as he pulled out a map and looked at it. "Hmm, I'd say we're here." He pointed at around the middle of China's Western side. "At our current pace it'll take us another three days."
"Why are we in such a hurry anyway?" Mittelt asked and sighed as Ranma shrugged. "Nabiki tells you 'hurry to China, go to the West part of it, no, don't ask, just go West, you'll know what to look for when you see it' and doesn't even tell us WHY we need to hurry?"
Ranma threw his hands up helplessly. "She's the one who can see all the futures at once, not me."
The blonde sighed heavily before blushing softly. "Hey, um, Ranma... It's been about three days and... Um..."
"Hmm?" Ranma looked at her. "What?"
"We haven't been having sex as much as I thought, so I was wondering..." Mittelt's face was scarlet as Ranma hugged her tightly.
"Sure." Ranma rubbed her back. "When we stop tonight, okay?" Mittelt nodded against his chest and Ranma let go. "So, anyway, shall we..." He trailed off as he heard the bushes shift. "Who's there?"
A woman in her twenties with white hair and white wings and a torn outfit stumbled out into the clearing. "H...Help..." She groaned and fell face-first into the dirt, groaning in pain.
"Mittelt, get the bandages, I'll check on her." Ranma put the backpack down and went over to the woman.
"She's not an Angel." Mittelt said as she pulled out the first aid kit. "What's going on?"
(-)
It was more than an hour later when they heard a groaning sound. Turning to see the winged woman slowly sitting up, Ranma and Mittelt sat a bit away from her, waiting for a reaction from her.
They didn't have to wait long.
"You!" She pointed at the two. "Landlings, where am I?"
"Landlings?" Ranma and Mittelt asked in confusion before looking at each other and shrugging.
"Beings who lack wings and cannot fly are called such." The woman huffed before scowling as Mittelt started to giggle out of control. "And what's so funny, tiny one?"
Mittelt smirked as jet black feathery wings popped out of her back. "You think you're special just because you have wings? You, who lacks any sense for the supernatural, thinks to lecture us on what it means to be special?" A scary grin came to her face as a pitch-black spear formed in her hands. "I've not used my Devil Powers against someone yet, maybe I should stab you a few times until I feel better?"
"That's enough of that." Ranma slapped Mittelt's ass and gave it a squeeze, getting a moan out of the girl as her spear disappeared. "No threatening injured people because they insulted you." He said while rapidly squeezing and fondling her butt.
"N...No fair." Mittelt's face was red as she moaned and squirmed. "You know that I... Ngh... Nnnngh... NGHAAAAHHH!" She screamed and slumped to her knees, trembling. "No...Fair..."
"You must really be backed up if you came that fast." Ranma shook his head and looked at the shocked woman. "First of all, my name's Ranma Saotome, this is my girlfriend, Mittelt. What's your name?"
"...My name is Kiima."
Ranma smiled at her. "Good, now that we have that out of the way," his smile vanished and he gave her a serious expression, "what happened?"
Kiima thought about not telling them, but sighed and hung her head. "Fine, I can tell you. It started a day or two ago."
*Flash*
"Halt!" Two guards with wings pointed their spears at a pair of travelers, both had blonde hair, though they were of opposite genders, the male was holding a bag in his left hand.
"Ho?" The man raised an eyebrow at the two of them. "What's this?"
"Now, brother, we were warned about this." The girl smiled at him and lifted her dress as she curtsied for the guards. "My name is Ravel Phenix, this is my elder brother, Riser Phenix." She smiled at the two guards. "We mean you no harm, but we wish to see the one known as Saffron. We heard he recently was reborn?"
"What do you wish to know about our Lord Saffron?" A new voice said and everyone looked up as a woman wearing light armor, a sword in her right hand and white wings on her back landed in front of the guards.
"Lady Kiima!" The guards gasped.
Ignoring everyone, Kiima narrowed her eyes at the portly man who was behind the two outsiders. "Guide! Why did you bring these two outsiders here?! You know the penalty!"
"Ah!" The man gulped and wrung his hands as he bowed. "Forgive me, but I am a humble guide." He said in Chinese. "They specifically asked for a route to Phoenix Mountain, I warned them against it, but they insisted."
Kiima sighed and narrowed her eyes at the two outsiders. "What purpose do you Landlings have for seeking out Lord Saffron?"
"I think you have a misconception about us." Ravel smiled as flaming wings formed behind her and Riser. "Your Lord Saffron happens to be our cousin."
Everyone took a step back and Kiima gulped softly. "My apologies then, I shall lead you to our lord personally then."
Ravel continued to smile at her. "Why thank you, that would be most pleasant." She and Riser followed after Kiima and the two guards up the mountain.
On the ground, the Jusenkyo Guide gulped and turned away. 'This is bad, very bad! If the Musk and Amazons find out about this...' He didn't want to think about the fall-out from the ensuing war that would happen.
(-)
"You're back?" A little boy with golden brown hair snorted as he saw Kiima. "And who are these two?" The room he was in was fairly extravagant and large
"Milord." Kiima bowed to the young boy. "This is Ravel and Riser Phenix, they claim to be your cousins."
"Phenix?" Saffron blinked in confusion as he looked at them. "Sorry, having just hit this age after my last life ended, my memories are a bit fuzzy."
"Understandable." Ravel smiled at him and put her hand on her chest. "If you must know, we come from the Phenix Clan, one of the seventy-two top clans of Hell."
"Devils?" Saffron tilted his head and frowned. "Oh yes, I vaguely recall something..." He trailed off as the air seemed to distort. "What's going on?"
"Something's wrong." Ravel frowned as she held up her hand. "What's going on?" Flames that came so easily to her weren't forming like normal.
"Kiima." Saffron said to her. "What's going on?"
"I'm not sure." Kiima gripped the hilt of her sword. "I'll go and find out."
"Brother..." Ravel said nervously as Kiima left.
(-)
"Too weak." One of the three intruders muttered as several of these weird bird people were stabbed with what looked like crystallized tubes. "Far too weak."
The second one, who was taller and thinner, just grinned cruelly as he tapped the ground with his staff and several of the Phoenix people were trapped inside box-like barriers. "Now then." With a squeeze of his fist, the boxes imploded, killing all those inside. "Pathetic. Oh well. Not everything tainted by the filth of the supernatural can stand up to us."
The last one, a more burly man than the rest, said nothing as he encased the heads of three Phoenix people before imploding the boxes. "No need to treat them the same way we do Demon spirits after all."
Rounding the corner and seeing their people being slaughtered by bald monks in Buddhist clothing, the next wave of Phoenix people slammed into a barrier before most were stabbed to death by cylindrical barriers piercing their bodies.
"Let's keep moving, Cho, Azanu." The first one said and walked towards the stairs, only stopping as more came down. "Feh."
When their heads were all encased in barriers and crushed, Azanu, the burly one, snorted. "Jiro, let's just hurry it up." He let out a snort as he saw a white haired woman with white feathery wings round the corner. "Look at that, Cho. A woman playing warrior wishes to challenge us."
Cho smirked at the rage he was seeing. "Well, let's play with her a bit."
Jiro snorted and sent several piercing barriers towards the woman, laughing as she was pinned to the wall like a bug. "How pathetic."
"You missed her vital points." Azanu pointed out and tapped his staff on the ground. "I'll just crush her head and be done with it."
When the wall exploded behind the woman, revealing the outside, the three turned to see an old man with some sort of cannon in his hands.
"The Phoenix People may die today." The old man said as he narrowed his eyes. "But you will not kill all of us."
"Well then, we'll have to make do with you." Cho laughed.
*End Flash*
"So what happened after that?" Mittelt asked, having recovered from the impromptu masturbation session Ranma put her through.
Kiima sighed heavily. "I don't know, the explosion knocked me loopy, but I got free of what was holding me down. I don't even know if Lord Saffron's still alive or those two outsiders or anyone!"
Ranma narrowed his eyes, a deep green aura surrounding him as he heard her story. "Those fucking bastards?! Some of them are still alive?! I thought I killed all of them four years ago!" Both Mittelt and Kiima stared at Ranma in shock and flinched at the sheer rage that was rolling off of him. "Fucking Kekai assholes! Going on about the purity of humanity and purging anyone who's remotely got supernatural blood in their bodies. They damn near killed me and Lilith years ago."
"Um..." Mittelt gulped as Ranma spun around.
"Now I know why Nabiki wanted me to come here. I have unfinished business to deal with." Ranma snarled, he couldn't believe that he missed such bastards. "Mittelt, we're going." Black bat-like wings popped out of his back as he said that. "Kiima, can you fly?"
"Yeah, my wings are a bit sore, but..." Kiima stood up, her body covered in bandages and blushed as she realized she was naked. "HEY! My clothes!"
Snorting and reaching into his backpack, Ranma threw a tank-top and a pair of pants at her. "Put those on if you're embarrassed to be seen naked." Kiima nodded and quickly put the pants on, but she was having trouble with the shirt. "Oh fer..." Ranma walked over to her and helped her put it on. "There."
Mittelt mentally laughed as she saw Ranma with Devil wings, Kiima with white Angel-like wings and her, with black feather wings. "So, now what?"
Ranma grabbed his backpack and looked to the sky. "We fly."
(-)
Hours later...
"Why are we stopping here?!" Kiima hissed, she could see Phoenix mountain not far from their current position.
Dismissing his wings, Ranma turned to look at her. "You can fly, tell me, if I'm expecting someone who can fly to return, where would I watch from?" He snorted as her face turned red. "Anyway, we need to prepare."
"What are we expecting from those three?" Mittelt asked as Ranma pulled out some paper.
"If they've reached master level then they can form barriers anywhere and at fast speeds." Ranma replied as he pulled out a brush. "Anyway, the problem is those damn barriers are near impossible to shatter without overwhelming force." He smirked as he began to paint on the paper. "Good thing I've had time to practice ways to defeat them then."
"It's probably too late, by now Lord Saffron and his cousins..." Kiima looked away, not enjoying the thought. "How did they..."
"They probably were just gunning for Saffron." Ranma replied. "If what you said is true, about him having strong fire powers then they probably had a barrier prepared ahead of time that could weaken and disrupt fire powers just enough so they could get in and take everyone out."
After observing him for awhile, Mittelt put her hand on Ranma's shoulder. "You're trembling. What did they do?"
"The reason Lilith woke my Youki up was because of these bastards, but even then, I didn't care too much. We took care of them. It was what happened about a year later that caused me to hunt them down and kill all of them."
"What?"
"I was thirteen, we were near Kyoto and a large group of those fuckers..." He hissed, remembering it. "They had captured some of the local Youkai and were slowly torturing them to death. There was a little girl, she was only eight." Ranma started to glow as he remembered that. "They nearly killed her, had her trapped in a barrier and were about to implode it, they were slowly closing it down to crush her in it."
"But what about the leader of Kyoto?" Mittelt asked, shocked as she listened in. "Wasn't she there?"
"She was out of the city, looking into a disturbance not far, these... They nearly killed a little girl for the sake of their purity of humanity."
"...Ranma?" Mittelt gulped softly. "You're taking this personally."
"OF COURSE I AM!" He roared as the brush in his hands snapped. The fifth ward finished off. "That girl nearly died because of those bastards, I thought we got all of them that day. I guess some got away."
"Who was that girl to you?" Kiima asked softly.
"...My daughter."

In a large open room inside Phoenix Mountain...
Cho snorted as he saw the three creatures in three different barriers. The tallest one was missing an arm as it had gotten caught outside the barrier. "So, Jiro, why aren't we killing them?"
"Because, I want the one who got away to come back, thinking we left only to find these three trapped inside the barriers still." Jiro shrugged and looked at the girl who was trembling. "Hmm, tell me something, are you monsters scared?"
"The only monster is you." She spat at him and looked at the tall man again. "What did you do to us?"
"We were contracted to take out the brat." Azanu shrugged at her. "Nothing more, nothing less. We knew about his abilities so we came prepared. Guess it's your bad luck that your powers were the same as his, huh? Good thing you're insides these smaller barriers, we don't need the one we had up around the mountain anymore."
"Couldn't even teleport out." The girl hissed, wondering how they were going to get out of this one.
"Hmm?" Jiro suddenly grinned as an idea came to him. "Hey, Cho, Azanu, I wonder just how similar to humans these monsters are."
"Got something in mind?" Azanu asked as Jiro's grin turned sadistic.
When Jiro tapped the ground with the butt of his staff, the girl stiffened and looked down, her face incredibly pale. "Well, if she were human, then..." Snapping his fingers, the girl let out a scream of pain that could shatter glass.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY SISTER?!" The male screamed and slammed his arms on the barrier helplessly as he watched his sister scream and thrash around as much as she could in her barrier. "WHAT DID YOU DO!?"
Jiro threw his head back and laughed. "Well, I guess monsters that look human have human baby rooms too, huh?"
"YOU!" The man snarled and flames erupted around him for less than a tenth of a second before dying out.
"Got nothing to say, brat?" Cho looked at Saffron, who was glaring daggers at them.
"You'll die, I swear it."
Azanu snorted at him. "Unlikely. You ain't the Demon brat. I'm not afraid of three firebirds that can't do any of their fancy fire."
"IT HURTS!" The girl screamed in pain and thrashed around. "IT HURTS!"
"You know, maybe we should make her feel better?" Cho snapped his fingers and a barrier surrounded the girl's ears. "Here, now she won't hurt so much down there." When the barriers imploded, the girl screamed even louder. "Sheesh! We're doing her a favor and this is how she repays us?"
Azanu shook his head. He would have rather crushed all three of those monsters and been done with it, but with the barriers they were in keeping their powers suppressed, he supposed it didn't matter. "Been curious." He looked at the bag that they had thrown on the table and dumped out its contents. "Feh, just three little bottles and a red vial of some sort?"
"Maybe it's perfume to cover up how much they stink?" Jiro laughed as he continued to torment the girl. "Let's see... How about those? Monsters don't need things like breasts or anything."
The next thing any of them knew, a crackling sound was heard in the air a moment before a powerful streak of lightning filled the room and hit Jiro with enough power that his eyes burst and he fell over as a smoking corpse.
"JIRO!" Cho and Azanu yelled before turning and seeing a very angry person marching forward.
"You all should have stayed hiding." Ranma narrowed his eyes at them. "And I'm going to enjoy doing to you what you did to that girl."
The two took up defensive stances. "Just you?" Cho asked before jumping out of the way of a pink spear that flashed past Ranma and nearly bisected him in the face. "Fuck! Demon brat has help?!" He couldn't see who was firing the spears, which meant they were likely out of his range.
Azanu took a step back as Ranma seemed to disappear and reappear in front of him. "Fuck you, brat! You'll pay for what you did in Kyoto!" Barrier pillars erupted out of the ground in front of Ranma, forcing him back. "I won't be caught unawares like they were!" Several square barriers formed in front of him and he pushed them after Ranma, forcing him to dodge. "What's the matter, Demon brat? Wasn't the blood of my clan enough for you?"
"You freaks of nature should have died off ages ago!" Ranma snarled and shot a ton of miniature Youki blasts at Azanu, who blocked them off. "It's one thing to kill creatures that harm humans and are a threat to civilization, even Devils hunt their own in that case." Clapping his hands together, several narrow barriers popped up in front of him. "But you fuckers kill EVERYONE, the guilty and innocent alike!" He sent them forward at Azanu, who countered with his own narrow barriers from below.
"You stole our techniques as well?!" Azanu growled at Ranma. "How dare you?! To kill our clan and steal our techniques?! That's a more grave sin than being a worthless Demon!"
"Oh fuck off!" Ranma threw his left arm down, several bolts of lightning filling the air as more barrier pillars formed around him. "The only grave sin is the fact that I let you get away!" Ranma's eyes widened as he was surrounded by a barrier on all sides. "SHIT!"
Cho grinned as his barriers held off Mittelt's spears. "Got you, you little shit!" When his barrier surrounding Ranma shattered like glass, his eyes bugged out. "HOW?!"
Ranma snorted and pulled out a piece of paper. "Ain't the first time I was caught in one, you moron. Kiima! NOW!"
"What?!" The two gasped as Kiima flew past them at high speeds and slapped a piece of paper on each of the barriers that had Ravel, who was still screaming, Riser, and Saffron.
Ranma smirked and snapped his fingers as all three of the wards glowed and caused the barriers to shatter. "You dun goofed."
Seeing Riser's body cloaked in flame as he glared at them, the two barrier users could only scream as they were incinerated down to the bone.
Riser snorted and quickly ran over to the table and grabbed a small vial. "Ravel!" He popped the top and poured it on her body, sighing in relief as she stopped screaming in pain and looked at him, tears in her eyes as her body shook. "Are you okay?"
She nodded and gulped softly. "I am now." Sitting up, she groaned and grimaced. "Can I have another bottle?"
"Of course." Riser nodded and blinked as he was offered one. Turning, he saw Ranma standing there offering it to him. "Riser does not know who you are, but you saved my sister, Ravel, thank you." He took it from Ranma and gave it to Ravel.
Gulping it down and sighing as she knew the Phoenix tears would fix her body completely. "Brother, is your arm?" She nodded as a burst of flame restored his lost arm. Standing up, she looked at Ranma and bowed. "I thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Had you not shown up when you did, I doubt that I would be here right now."
"Lord Saffron!" Kiima knelt down, her head bowed. "I failed you completely!"
"Whatever." Saffron snorted at her. "What could you do? You saved me." He sighed as he realized that all the rest of his people were gone now, however. "If I had been in my adult form this would have never happened."
"Oh yeah!" Ravel snapped her fingers. "That vial, it was why we came here. It's Phoenix Blood. It should restore you to your true self."
"You mean this?" Ranma asked as he held up the vial. "Didn't know what it was." Offering it to Saffron, the small kid popped the top off before taking a drink of it.
Flames quickly erupted from his body and blew all of them across the room, save for Mittelt, who had been further back.
"Woah!" Ravel's eyes widened as the flames immediately returned to Saffron, who was now a young man in his twenties, a pair of golden wings behind him and an aura that made all of them, even Riser, gulp softly.
"I truly am sorry." Saffron sighed and looked down. "My people are all gone. I may have been a Devil, but I truly cared about them."
"So we're done here?" Mittelt asked Ranma, who nodded and sighed. "Good."
"Blasted humans..." Saffron growled. "I'll..."
"Do nothing." Ranma answered him, causing the reborn Phoenix's powers to flare up and start to melt the rock around him.
"You had best explain yourself before I take my displeasure out on you." Saffron narrowed his eyes at Ranma. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't take my aggression out on the people who did this to me!"
"Because you're a Devil." Ranma answered honestly. "Right now the three great factions are working on a peace treaty. If a Devil as powerful as you goes around vaporizing humans you'll put the Devils at a disadvantage and force them to come after you."
"He's right!" Ravel answered and stepped forward. "Lord Saffron, please, if you do try to take revenge then more Devils will suffer as the other two great factions may think of this as a trick and a new war could start up."
"Besides." Ranma continued. "Those humans are gone. Those were the last of them."
Saffron let out a powerful snort. "Very well." Looking at Ranma, he took a deep breath to calm down. "Tell me, what is your name?"
"Ranma Saotome."
"Saotome, huh?" Saffron nodded. "I shall remember this." Looking at the insides of his once proud people, he shook his head. "Now what?"
"You can always return home with us?" Ravel suggested to him.
"I may. Please give me some time to think."
"Riser is just glad this is over." Riser looked at Ranma. "You, Saotome. I thank you, again, for saving my sister."
"You used a pronoun that time." Ranma pointed out, getting a laugh from Ravel and a groan from Riser. "Wait, Riser... You wouldn't happen to be the guy who was engaged to Rias Gremory, would you?" The taller man grimaced and nodded. "Hey, um, I heard what happened to you, sorry man."
"Riser doesn't like to think about it." The taller man sighed and turned away. "Do you have any idea how much I have suffered as a man because of that... That..."
"Overpowered nut punch?" Ranma offered, getting a nod from Riser.
"RISER CAN'T EVEN GET IT UP ANYMORE!"
Ranma blinked a few times as Riser walked off. "Really? Well, in that case, I know someone who can help you."
"You do!?" Riser spun in surprise.
"Yeah." Ranma pulled out some chalk. "But I'm going to need a clean, unused room with a bed."
Everyone blinked at him.
(-)
"Okay, so like this, and... There." Ranma finished putting chalk up on the wall.
Sitting on the bed in just his pants, Riser looked at what Ranma was doing in confusion. "What is this supposed to do?"
Ranma just gave him a smirk as the sigil he drew up started to glow and a door opened. "Hey!" He waved at the people who came into the room.
"Lord Ranma!" Several female voices all squealed in delight. "It's Lord Ranma!"
"Uh..." Riser stared at the scantily clad, large breasted women with wings and tails. "Who are they?"
"My fangirls." Ranma laughed as they pouted.
"That's not fair, Lord Ranma!" A pink haired cutie with large breasts pouted.
"Yeah!" A blonde with a more petite body huffed. "You're married to Lady Lilith, the Succubus Queen! Of course we call you Lord Ranma."
Ranma waved them off. "They're Succubi, anyway, girls." He jerked a thumb at Riser. "This guy here had some sexual trauma happen to him and now he's having trouble getting it up."
"Oh no!" They all gasped in horror.
"So... Use your succubus healing to fix him up. And no, you can't drain him dry. Any of you try and he'll burn you to cinders, got it?"
"YES!" They all cheered as Ranma left the room.
"Have fun." Ranma smiled and closed the door behind him.
(-)
"Considering that a slaughter happened here, I'd ask why you think this is a good place to help my brother." Ravel said as Ranma walked into the room, but sighed. "But I can't complain, I guess, I mean, I don't know if it'll help him at all, but..."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong!" Ravel turned away, her face flushed. "I mean, I'm only talking to the guy who saved my life, saved my brother's life and is trying to help my brother. Nothing's wrong at all!"
Ranma chuckled at her. "You're a good girl." He mentally laughed as her face got redder. After a few moments, he decided to change the subject. "Tell me something, what are your thoughts on the current Red Dragon Emperor, Issei Hyoudou?"
"That bastard." Ravel hissed. "It's bad enough that he hurt my brother like he did, but do to it like that... GAH!"
"I can imagine." Ranma nodded and put a hand on her shoulder, causing her to stiffen and blush hard. "If I can ask for a favor, could I ask that you forgive him?"
Ravel balled her hands into a fist before taking a deep breath and slowly letting it out. "I suppose. If only because you asked."
"Good." Ranma patted her shoulder and walked off, leaving a flustered girl behind.
"Hey!" Ravel cried out, causing Ranma to stop and look at her. "Where do you live?"
Ranma blinked, that was an unusual question, but he shrugged it off. "Kuoh City right now. Why?"
"My mother's been talking about sending me to the human world to learn how to interact with humans." The girl twiddled her thumbs and blushed hard. "If it's not too much to ask, could I ask for you to show me around the city when I start school there?"
Ranma scratched his head and shrugged. "Sure, I have no problem with that."
"Thank you." Ravel bowed, her face blushing hard. "Now then..."
"RISER IS BACK! YES!"
"Well..." Ranma laughed softly. "That didn't take very long."
A few feet away, Mittelt scoffed before walking up to them. "You know, you still owe me at least a few days." She poked Ranma in the chest and looked at Ravel. "...How old are you?"
"Fourteen, though I turn fifteen soon, why?"
Mittelt pouted and walked away, a gloomy aura about her, muttering something about being flat-chested forever.
"Uh..." Ravel sweat-dropped heavily and looked at Ranma in confusion. "What's that all about?"
Ranma waved her off. "Don't worry about it." When he heard steps walking into the room, he and Ravel turned to see Saffron, in ornate flame robes and Kiima, in casual attire, walk into the room, holding several crates of stuff. "Yo, Kiima, Saffron, what's with the crates?"
"I have decided to visit my extended family." Saffron nodded to Ravel. "Kiima will accompany me. I assume that there's no problem for humans to be in Hell?"
"No." Ravel shook her head. "Though, she looks more like an Angel."
"Oh!" Ranma snapped his fingers as something came to him. "Kiima, can I ask you to keep certain things a secret for now? Namely, how we got here."
"Ah!" Kiima blinked but nodded slowly. He had saved Saffron, she could keep the fact that he had Devil-like wings a secret if he wanted to keep it a secret. "No problem."
"What?" Ravel asked, blinking a few times as no one was willing to talk before sighing heavily. "Fine, but, Lord Saffron, what's in those crates?"
"Instant Jusenkyo packets." Saffron answered her. "They temporarily grant you the ability to change into something else with an application of cold water, while a spray of hot water will return you to your birth form. You will need to reapply the temporary curse if you wish to use it again."
"Can I take them?" Ranma asked, raising his hand. "I've got a Jusenkyo Curse, I was wondering if that can be used to cure it."
"On a temporary basis." Saffron answered him. "We use these to fit into the human world. But if you want them, you may have them."
"Sweet!" Ranma grinned as an idea came to him. "Mittelt."
"Yes?" The Fallen Angel blinked as Ranma gave her the most mischievous grin ever. "What?"
"We're going to buy squirt guns when we get back." He chuckled at her confused look.

Meanwhile...
"Interesting." He tsked as he saw the way the events played out. "Oh well, that's one less piece to use." He had others, he could wait.
At least it was one chapter this time.
The powers that they have, if you can't figure it out, are similar to the powers of the characters from Kekaishi. If you liked the characters from that series, don't worry, they don't show up in this fic, just people who have their powers do.
Okay, I need an Omake from Innortal here.
Turning around, Lilith stood and pointed at the others. "And the rest of you sorry virgins! If you want some, take actions to get it ... voluntary participation on both sides, of course.
"But stop whining about why they won't make the first move!
"You were all in that class I gave! Go up to them, say you want it, and ask if they want it too!
"Then, set a time and place for a date, a booty call, a time at a love hotel to get sweaty and slip Tab A into one of the three slots and-"
THUD!
"... So now I have to put both Rossweisse and Asia into my cell calendar," muttered Lilith.
"And someone go tell Rias to get off her ass and jump him!" she yelled out. "Seriously, if I had ever given him succubi to rut with-"
"I BEGGED FOR THAT!" Issei whined.
"... Great, I'm Jerry Springer now," she muttered. "All the guests bitch, moan, complain, and think I'm their shrink."
