Dance With the Devil

Betrayal Chapter 4

Disclaimer: I own none of the series involved, for if I did there would be a lot more sex.

Ranma shook his head as he got to the front door of the building he had walked up to. 'Fun times.' He mused to himself as he waited.

"Yes?" A male voice spoke up as the door opened. "...What are you doing here?" He sighed as he heard the response. "Fine, shall I..."

"Nah, let it be a surprise." Ranma shook his head.

"Very well, follow me." The man nodded as they walked through the large house. "So why are you here?"

"I'll tell you in a bit, I promise that it's not bad."

The older man sighed as he led Ranma to a room before knocking on the door. "Milady? Are you awake?"

"What do you want?" A muffled voice came from inside.

"There's someone here to see you."

"Tell them to go away, I'm not really interested in seeing anyone."

"Really? And after coming all the way out here even?" Ranma asked, smirking as he heard a thump before several more smaller thumps and the door opened up, revealing a shocked Bulleta wearing nothing more than a tank top, red panties and nothing else. "Hey, Bulleta, how are you?"

"You JERK!" She yelled and pulled out a bat from somewhere. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming over?!" She yelled and swung it at him, only to have Ranma casually grab the bat and twist it away from her. Growling, she stepped up and pounded her fists on his chest. "You jerk! You don't call! You don't talk! You just..." She broke down, trembling and buried her face against Ranma's body before slowly wrapping her arms around his torso. "Dammit, I missed you."

"I missed you too." Ranma said softly as he hugged her back after dropping the bat to the floor. "How have you been?"

"I murdered a bunch of zombies, blew up a school of fish because they looked at me wrong and broke everything in the house since I left you."

Ranma had been wondering why the house didn't seem like it had much in it, but didn't comment on it.

Bulleta let out a trembling breath. "Did you just come to say hi and then leave me again?"

What Ranma said next had her stiffen in shock.

"No. I came because I need you." Ranma watched as she pulled her head back to look at him, her eyes wide. "Specifically I need your help. And, Bulleta, I wish you hadn't left, I do miss you."

"Tch." She snarled and planted her face against his body again. "Bullshit! You don't miss me! You ran from me! You let Kokabiel capture me! You let that bastard rape me! Your pink haired slut had to free me! You let my arms get shot off! You... YOU LET ME LEAVE!" She yelled into his chest before she sank to her knees. "Why? Why do you like me?! HUH?! Couldn't you just hate me?! Then I wouldn't need to think about you!"

"Been holding it in, huh?" Ranma asked rhetorically, getting a snort from her as she pushed herself away and stood up, wiping her eyes. "I let you go because I know you needed to vent your problems and work through them."

Bulleta laughed, it was a hollow and angry laugh however. "Problems he says, I'm so fucked up in the head it's not funny, yet you care, WHY?! HUH?!"

"Fine!" Ranma yelled as he glared at her. "I came here because I wanted you to join me! To help me! But if you're just going to wallow in pity, then I'll leave." He turned and started to walk down the hallway. "But you know, Bulleta, I never hated you, I was confused by you." He looked over his shoulder. "I told you that you could join me anytime, but if you're just going to be like this then..." He trailed off as he saw her face, the free-flowing tears and miserable face before sighing and turning around and walking back to her. "Bulleta?"

"I HATE YOU!" She screamed and pounced on him, knocking him to the floor, tears flowing out of her eyes. "I hate that you're so kind to me! I hate that you make me feel things! I hate... I hate... I HATE THAT YOU MAKE ME CARE FOR YOU AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO LEAVE ME AGAIN!"

Ranma sighed and hugged her softly. "Should have I had you stay with me instead of letting you leave?"

"YES!" She screamed and started sobbing as Ranma rubbed her back.

The butler silently walked away, leaving the two alone. He knew that they needed some time to work things through. Looking back, he sighed softly and shook his head. 'Getting too old for this.' He knew he wasn't any better when he was their age, in fact he was probably worse than they were. 'After all...' His thoughts trailed off as he thought back to his younger days before he met Bulleta and then later when he started taking care of her.

Hours later...

"So you need my help?" Bulleta asked as she sat in her room, still in her underwear. "In case you haven't noticed, I'm not in the best of shapes right now. I've done some hunts that were nearby, keep myself in shape, but I haven't really had any desire to go around and fuck up shit like before."

"Is..."

"I don't know, the rape doesn't really bother me, it's how I was basically helpless and forced to watch as I was taken advantage of by a microprick jackass and cut up because he found it funny to watch my body pull itself back together!" She snarled and looked away. "I don't know what I need right now. I want to scream, I want to hurt you, I want you to rip my underwear off, pick me up and bounce me on your dick, I want to go and shoot up all the spineless dickweed politicians in the world, I just... ARGH!"

Ranma sweat-dropped. "I don't know if the sex part will help you."

"No, but I'd rather have my most recent memories of sex be you molding my body to be a perfect cocksleeve than remembering that tiny prick."

Ranma continued to sweat-drop heavily. "...Are you backed up or something?"

She gave him a nasty look. "I don't know, I haven't slept much because I keep thinking my limbs are going to be tied up and then chopped off and no one fucking cares!"

"...You know, I haven't been sleeping much myself lately." Ranma said to her. "Mind if I stay the night?"

"...You can crash on the couch if you want to." Bulleta said while looking away. "Or whatever, just sleep wherever you want to."

"Gladly." There was a rustling of clothes and the next thing Bulleta knew, she was being lifted up and pulled into bed and rolled over so she was face-to-chest with Ranma, who had stripped to his boxers.

"H...Hey!"

"What?" Ranma looked at her. "You said I could sleep wherever I wanted to, I'm sleeping on your bed, you look tired too."

"You jerk!" Bulleta buried her face in his chest. "Why do you care?"

Ranma didn't say anything and just held her.

It took the two of them only five minutes before both were sound asleep in each other's arms.

The next morning...

"Nnngh..." Bulleta groaned as she shifted in bed and stretched, letting out a loud whine as she felt her body complain about being still for too long. "Feels good." She sighed before rolling back to the source of warmth and burying her face in it. "Mmmm..." She couldn't remember the last time she was this relaxed, this safe, this... comfortable. Hell, she didn't have any bad dreams and didn't wake up sweating and screaming and wanting to kill someone for the first time in months.

"Good morning, sleepyhead." A male voice caused her eyes to snap open and she leaned back and saw Ranma smirking at her. "I don't mind that you want to use me as a body pillow, but I need to get up and use the bathroom."

Bulleta let out a scream as she fell out of the bed, her feet tangled up in the sheets. "RANMA?! What?! Why?! HOW?!"

"...I came over yesterday, you tried to beat me up, chase me off and we ended up sleeping next to each other."

"...Oh yeah." Bulleta muttered as Ranma got up and walked out of the room. "Where are you..."

"I told you, bathroom. You can do what you want, but I'd like to talk to you this morning." Ranma said as he left, causing her to sigh as she watched him walk out.

"Dammit," Bulleta sighed and got to her feet and pulled out a simple pair of shorts and a loose t-shirt. "I wonder if Jenkins has breakfast ready or not."

(-)

A few minutes later...

"So..." Bulleta began as the two of them ate some simple British breakfast. "You need my help in dealing with the Hero Faction?" She grimaced, having heard about those losers. "Need me to snipe them? My gun and bomb collections are still in top shape."

"Actually," Ranma smirked at her, "what I need from you is access to your chemicals." She tilted her head. "I need some chemicals and something that can act as a large piece of ember. And I need someone to shoot them in case things go bad."

"I can do that." Bulleta grinned at hearing that. "So what do you need the chemicals for?" When Ranma told her, she frowned slightly. "Yeah, I can do that, it'll take me a few hours to get the right mixtures. If you wanted just one thing it would be easy, but that..."

"You can do it though, right? I need it done by noon tomorrow."

Bulleta snorted. "Please, it'll just be time consuming. So is that all you need from me?"

"Want to join me?" She gawked at Ranma and started blushing. "I'm working for Jedah now."

"What?" She asked him flatly. "Don't tell me that you're going to kill the world or something."

"Or something." Ranma said cryptically. "I mean, it's fine if you want to stay here, but if you come with me you don't need to compete with Lilith and..."

"DEAL!" Bulleta shouted and slammed her hands on the table as she stood up. "You let me sleep with you in every way that matters while you work for Jedah and I'll give you everything I've got."

Ranma grinned at hearing that. "Good, because we're going Vampire hunting in a month."

Bulleta's eyes lit up happily at hearing that. "You're a sweet-heart. Alright, I'll have your chemicals all made before dinner time!"

Ranma smiled and went back to eating and wondered how Issei and the others were doing. 'Hope they're training.'

"FRICK!" Issei yelled as he, Kiba, Xenovia, Irina and Koneko all avoided powerful lightning attacks from Thor.

"Seriously? My adopted brother does better than this!" The muscular God bellowed as the sky crackled behind him. "AGAIN!"

Irina yelled as she was blasted in the back by lightning and her body seemingly pixilated before disappearing.

Thor was grateful that the Devils had shared the retirement abilities of their ratings games with their allies, it made it so easy to go all out in training and not need to worry about killing someone by accident. His musing was cut off as a green energy blast came up at him. Swinging his hammer, he shattered the energy attack before spinning as he blocked Kiba, who had flown up to him, from striking him from behind while lashing a leg out to hit Koneko in the stomach and an elbow caught Xenovia in the face. Kiba yelped as Thor brought his elbow down on the blonde's head and all three were sent flying to the ground, groaning in pain. "When you train with the Gods, things are quite different than what you are used to, aren't they?"

Issei growled, even though he had Boosted Gear out, Thor had put a seal on it to prevent him from using his Balance Breaker stating that he had to get stronger without using his transformed state since the abilities he had in his armored form were enhanced by how strong his base form was. "How the hell is this fair?!"

"Seriously, Red Dragon Emperor?" Thor called out to him. "You whine about this being unfair? You have been lucky that your opponents have saw you as a minor opponent, someone they could defeat if they went all out or wanted you to get as strong as possible so they could get a good fight." He pointed his hammer at Issei. "If you have time to whine, use it to get stronger!"

"Thinking he's all high and mighty because he's one of the strongest beings in reality." Issei grumbled, though there was no heat behind it. Thor had been straight forward and had just been testing them so far. The spar was going to go until one of them could just land a hit on him somehow. Plus he only used his hammer to throw lightning around and not hit them with it, which Issei was thankful for, since Mjolnir could probably kill him in one hit.

"To think that father called me here to help train you." Thor shook his head. "Alas I would rather spend time in a nice bed with a good woman. Perhaps that Angel friend of yours will warm my bed?"

"HEY!" Issei yelled in anger. "Leave Irina out of this!"

"Oh? Have you bedded her then?" Thor asked him. "Or perhaps you can't?"

"That's it! Kicking your ass!" Issei pointed at the thundering God. Spreading his wings, he shot into the air.

"BOOST!"

"Good!" Thor nodded as he felt Issei's power rising. "Keep doing that for the next two hours and you might make me break a sweat." As he dodged out of the way of Issei's lunge, he casually swung Mjolnir behind him, shattering a large rock that Koneko had thrown at him.

"BOOST!"

Thor grinned and spun as he grabbed Issei's gauntlet at the wrist, much to the young Devil's shock. "You would have died ten times over to the Frost Giants, boy." Flicking his wrist, he sent Issei screaming to the ground below. He snapped his wrist up and with two fingers caught Kiba's attack from behind. Without even saying a word, he swung his hammer to the side and both Xenovia and Koneko were blasted with enough lightning that the very air itself crackled for almost a minute afterwords.

"So this is the power of a God that actually fights seriously, huh?" Issei muttered, remembering his run-in with Loki. That guy had been powerful, incredibly so, but he hadn't really tried to do anything, preferring to use his children to fight.

"He's not fighting seriously." Ddrag answered Issei. "He's holding back a lot, if he wanted to all of you would have been beaten on his first attack. His power is comparable to my own when I was running free."

Issei shook his head. "You know, just once I'd like to not fight someone who was so much more powerful than me. Just once. Is that so much to ask?!"

"Partner, it's an unfortunate part of reality. Unless you're Great Red or Ophis, there is always going to be someone who's stronger than you who wants to show you just where your place in the world is."

Issei grinned as he looked at Thor, who was merely watching him calmly. "Fine. I don't care how many walls are in front of me, I'll walk up to them all and punch right through them."

"Well said!" Thor grinned at him. "However, I do believe it's time for breakfast, we have been training since the sun rose."

At that moment, Issei and Kiba's stomachs both growled loudly.

"Take some time to recover and eat, you have more training to do today." Thor chuckled as he disappeared.

Issei groaned and flopped onto his back, Boosted Gear disappearing. "Holy fuck, this is intense." He wondered how he was going to survive a month of this.

"Granny." Rossweisse smiled as she saw the old woman. "It's been too long."

"Still without a boyfriend, huh?" Gondul, an older woman, though slender and the same height as Rossweisse, teased her granddaughter. "When am I going to get great-grandbabies?" She chuckled as Rossweisse started to tear up. "I'm joking. But you're right, it has been too long. I hear you're a Devil now."

"I was given a better job offer than what Odin was giving me." Rossweisse told her. "Are you upset with me?"

"Nah." The older woman shook her head at her granddaughter. "If anything, I wonder what took you so long to get away from that lout. Even I couldn't stand to be around him for too long." She leered at Rossweisse. "So, are there any guys that have caught your attention? I heard that Azazel fellow was pretty good looking and really well off. Considering that you're a Devil now you could hook up with him and not have to worry about anything."

Rossweisse shook her head and waved her arms in front of her. "Ah! No! Sure, he's good looking and probably an amazing lover, he said he's had at least a thousand harems, but I don't see myself with him." Though she had to admit, she could do worse than him. "Besides, um... There's a couple of other guys I'm interested in right now. If it doesn't work out with them, then I'll go for him, okay?"

"Oh?" Gondul's eyes lit up in joy. "Do tell. Is it one of the Devil Kings? Maybe one of those Ultimate Class Devils that I've heard about? Or maybe one of the other Fallen Angel leaders?"

"Um, no..." Rossweisse poked her fingers together. "Just a couple of guys, they aren't leaders or anything. But..." She sighed and slumped. "It's complicated."

"Love always is." Gondul said sagely. "When I was your age I had to choose between several men. Funny enough, all the guys I was interested in, none of them were interested in me." She laughed at Rossweisse's look. "Now, now, don't give me that look, it worked out. Your grandfather was great at giving massages, let me tell you! WHOO! By the time he was done giving me a massage I had him pinned against the bed and..." She trailed off at the uncomfortable look Rossweisse had. "Sorry, sorry, I tend to forget younger people are more easily embarrassed than us old farts are."

"It's... It's not that, one of the guys that I'm interested in gives great massages." She said, her cheeks tinged pink. "But he went and joined the Khaos Brigade and now I don't know what to do!"

Gondul laughed at hearing that. "Well, in that case, you smack him upside the head with a blunt object and carry him over your shoulder back to your bed, tie him up and ride him until your hips go numb."

"GRANNY!" Rossweisse yelled, her face turning bright red. "He's already got a harem of girls!"

"So?!" Gondul snapped back. "Unless you're going to tell me that you're interested in that Red Dragon Emperor boy..." She trailed off as steam came out of Rossweisse's ears. "Really?"

"I... I don't know! Issei's really strong and brave and even if he's a big pervert he's got a big heart and always fights for everyone. He even stood up for me when the others were teasing me for still being a virgin."

"Ah, then the solution is simple!" Gondul nodded sagely as her granddaughter looked at her in confusion. "Have them spit-roast you or be the center of a sandwich as they stuff both your lower holes."

"GRANNY!" Rossweisse screamed, her face redder than Rias's hair.

"Then whenever you spit out your first young one, find out who the father is. Means he has the best swimmers!"

There was a loud thud as Rossweisse fainted, blood erupting from her nose.

"...And they said you lose your touch when you get older," the elder Valkyrie smirked, as she buffed her nails. "Too old to relate to the younger generation, my wrinkly old ass."

Later that day...

Issei groaned as he walked into the room clad only in a towel. He was so tired after training that it was taking everything he had not to fall asleep while showering. Stumbling over to the bed, he let the towel fall to his ankles and kicked it to the side before flopping, face-first and naked onto the bed. Grabbing the sheets, he flipped them over himself and passed right out.

Twenty minutes later Issei was woken up as something heavy flopped on him and knocked the air out of his lungs.

"What the?" A familiar voice said, though Issei couldn't place it before the sheets were pulled off of his body revealing a naked Rossweisse, who was turning red as she looked at his naked body. "Wha, wha, wha, wha?"

"Must be dreaming, naked women don't wake me up, c'mere." The next thing Rossweisse knew she was pulled down onto the bed and the sheets flipped back over them as Issei buried his face into her breasts while hugging her. "Mmm... Good dream." It was too bad he was so exhausted that even his dreams felt lethargic. Oh well, at least Rossweisse had nice boobs.

Rossweisse, on the other hand, was twitching, her eyes swirling and mouth rapidly opened and closed as she had her hands in the warding position. She was just trying to put clean undies on when she sat on Issei by accident. 'Wait, why is he in my room?!'

Sadly, she couldn't get an answer as Issei was sleeping hard and burying his face into her breasts while hugging her tightly.

'Good thing I'm a rook, but what's that hard thing poking my thigh?!' Instinctively, she knew what it was, but her eyes were tearing up as Issei rubbed against her in his sleep. "This sucks!" She cried out. "I don't mind a hottie using me as a body pillow, I just wish I was more..." She trailed off as a thought came to her. 'Wait, this is my chance! Everyone says I'm too much of a stick in the mud, so maybe I should just enjoy this?' As soon as Issei loosened up on the hug, she was going to shift so she could rest more comfortably and maybe enjoy this some more.

After all, if she wanted to lose her virginity she would need to get used to having a man holding her, wouldn't she?

(-)

Meanwhile...

"You ever get the feeling that someone just cut ahead of you in the harem line?" Koneko asked Asia and Akeno as they relaxed in a large bath after training.

"Hmm? Strange, now that you mention it..." Akeno looked around and saw Mittelt and Irina talking about their training that day and what they were going to do tomorrow. "I hope that Rias or Xenovia hasn't convinced Issei to get them pregnant while we're here."

"NOOOO!" Asia stood up suddenly. "I won't let them get pregnant before I have a chance to land Issei!" She ran off, grabbing a towel to dry her skin as she ran for the changing area.

Koneko gave Akeno a flat look. "Really?"

"You're the one who brought it up," Akeno giggled at her. "Besides, I don't think Rias or Xenovia would actually do that, not while we're training."

"It would just be a cluster of cells for awhile anyway, it wouldn't really impact their ability to train or fight." Koneko said softly. The two girls looked at each other, a growing dread on their faces as they stood up and followed after Asia.

"What was that all about?" Irina asked as she watched her friends run off quickly.

"Who knows? So you're going to be learning Valkyrie magic then?" Irina nodded at Mittelt. "Neat, can I join?"

"Sure! It never hurts to know more types of magic, and we can help strengthen our groups this way by passing along information about how to do it too." As far as Irina knew there was no law in Heaven stating that Angels couldn't use other magic systems. It wasn't like she had to pray to the Norse Gods to use their magic, Rossweisse had confirmed that for her.

(-)

Rias and Xenovia were getting dressed after getting out of the shower. The two felt like they were going to pass out and didn't feel like fainting in the bathtub and drowning.

Just as they got their underwear on, the door burst open to reveal Asia, Koneko and Akeno, all with dripping hair and wearing nothing but towels over their bodies and serious looks on their faces.

"Um..." Rias blinked at their looks. "Can we help you?" She hoped they closed the door, after all, both she and Xenovia were topless after all.

"We're not going to let you get pregnant by Issei until we get to land him!" Asia cried out, causing the two girls to look at her in confusion.

"After all, we're already far enough behind as it is, don't you think it's unfair to us?" Akeno asked, some anger in her voice.

"Don't hog all the man-meat, yo." Koneko said, her ears and tails popped out, though her tails were causing her towel to rise up and flash her naked butt at everyone who walked behind her.

"What are you talking about?" Xenovia asked in confusion. "Issei's not even here yet."

"Yet being the key word." Akeno replied cooly. "With your luck, Rias, he'll show up and then you'll convince him to drop the protection spell Lilith put on him and convince Ddrag to boost his potency so you get knocked up."

"...What are you talking about!?" Rias yelled, confusion obvious on her face. "I wasn't even thinking about that. All I want to do is cuddle for the next month."

"Same." Xenovia nodded and groaned. "I need to ask Rossweisse if all of Asgard's training is like this or if it's just special for us."

"Yeah right!" Asia yelled, tears in her eyes. "You two have been doing naughty fun things with Issei since he got back from Kyoto every night and I can hear you through the walls! I want to have some fun too!"

"Seeing you two in the morning glowing actually puts me in a bit of a bad mood too." Akeno nodded.

"I don't get to sleep on my favorite lap anymore." Koneko grumbled.

Rubbing the bridge of her nose, Rias walked up to her peerage and gave them all a soft smile. "I'm only going to say this once, so listen, okay?" The three nodded. The next thing they knew, Rias had pulled out a folding fan and whacked all three of them on the top of their heads, causing them to crouch and rub the growing bumps on their heads. "I don't know what got into your heads, but Xenovia, Issei and I all agree that sexy time isn't an option while we're training this hard."

Meanwhile in Hell...

"ARRRRGH! WHY DOES SNOW KEEP FALLING ON RISER?!"

"Honey," his mother said ...from the safety of the house. "You promised to stop speaking in the Third Person after that nice Demon helped you recover from the mental trauma!"

"...I'm sorry, Mother."

"That's better," she called. "Now warm yourself up and make a path back here! I have Campbell's soup!"

"...Better not be chicken," he muttered, flaring up. He never forgave the soup after one of his peers saw him eating it and called him Cuntucky Fried Chicken Noodle.

(-)

Back in Valhalla...

"Lord Vali!" La Fey smiled at the taller man. "Did you need me for something?"

"Yeah, something's been bothering me for awhile now." Vali muttered. "Remember when we called Jedah about what he did with Gogmagog?"

"Uh huh." The witch nodded, pouting that she still didn't have her Goggy Woggy back yet!

"I remember him saying something about Ophis wanting to visit Makai. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but then I just remembered something. Ophis never visits any place unless it can help her find a way to beat Great Red."

"You think he was lying?"

"Maybe." Vali muttered and wished that he knew where Jedah was so that he could get answers from the Devil personally. "Or there's something in Makai that can pull Great Red out of the Dimensional Gap. Or he made her think there's something in Makai that can help her."

"Who knows?" La Fey shook her head. "I'm more concerned that Kuroka had my brother take her somewhere suddenly."

"Eh, she can handle herself." Vali shrugged, grateful she wasn't here at that moment. He sighed at La Fey's pout. "You do realize that she's probably going to go into heat soon, right?"

"...Oh." La Fey nodded slowly. "So... Are you ever going to apologize to Lord Azazel for what you did back at Kuoh?" When Vali looked away, she sighed. "You know that you didn't need to shoot him in the back to tell him that you were teaming up with Ophis to find strong opponents, right?" When Vali huffed, she just shook her head, sometimes she just couldn't understand what was going through Vali's head.

"It's not like I don't want to, and knowing Azazel, he'll probably just laugh, smack me upside the head and tell me not to do it again, but it would look really bad for him and the others at this point."

La Fey just smiled and said nothing. It was nice that Vali was at least capable of thinking about stuff like this.

Still, she wondered just where Kuroka had gone off to.

Meanwhile, in England...

"So, you ready for this?" Ranma asked Bulleta, who was staring at Ranma weirdly. "...What?"

"You're in your cursed form," why he had never revealed that to her before, she had no clue, "with your hair flowing freely behind you... And you're wearing a tiny miniskirt and halter top."

"...So are you." Ranma pointed out.

"Yeah, but I'm a girl full time!" Bulleta yelled before sighing, it wasn't like Ranma turning into a girl mattered at all. "So what do you want me to do?"

"Make sure to greet..." Ranma smirked as she felt the target enter the building. "Greet our guests and guide them to the far corner table." She winked at the blonde. "I've got something special for them."

Bulleta sighed before walking out of the changing room she was in, ignoring the two naked girls who were tied up and gagged in the corner, and walked out, a big smile on her face. "Ah, welcome sir!" She used as cutesy of a voice as possible, "will it be a table of one or are you all together?"

The man smirked at her. "Myself and four others."

"Right this way." She smiled at him.

"Hey!" One of the managers suddenly yelled. "You're not Tifanny! What's going on?"

"She called in sick and I'm covering for her." Bulleta shot back, getting a nod from the manager.

"Okay, thanks, guess I missed the memo." The manager muttered and walked off to help with another customer.

As the five were led to a corner table, Bulleta smiled and handed them their menus. "Your waitress will be here in a few minutes, please make your decision by then."

After the waitress walked off, the female of the group looked at the leader and gave him an annoyed look. "Really, Cao Cao, you want to eat here?"

"I heard they have good burgers." Cao Cao shrugged at her. "I've been craving one for awhile, so sue me, Jeanne." He looked at the others. "Anyway, we're only in the country for a little bit, I heard there was an increase in Vampires and Zombies in England. We'll investigate and if it's nothing we'll leave. I'd rather not be in this country any longer than I have to."

"B.B. Hood?" Georg, who had mostly recovered from the attack Atsuko had hit him with, though his face had some scars on it, both burns and other types, asked, getting a nod from Cao Cao. "Really, why don't we kill her off?"

Cao Cao raised an eyebrow. "You think that hasn't been tried? I don't think there's a single person in the Moonlight World that doesn't want her dead." He looked up as a cute redhead with large breasts came up to the table. "Rias Gremory?!" He exclaimed, standing up partially, as did the others at the table.

"My name's Amber." She smiled at him. "I've never heard of Rias Gremory."

"Sorry," Cao Cao sighed and slumped in his chair as the others sat back down. "Thought you were someone else."

Jeanne twitched as she listened to the woman ask for their orders. 'She sounds like that damn robot girl.' Oh how she wanted to pay that bitch back for breaking her nose with that tree run, not to mention completely humiliating her in Kyoto.

Amber, after getting all their orders, smiled and giggled. "Just wait, your food will be right out and I'll be back with your drinks."

Heracles grumbled as he tapped his fingers on the table before Amber returned with glasses of various drinks and put them in front of each of them. After taking a gulp, he looked at Cao Cao in annoyance. "So what are we going to do next?"

"Hmm, that's an interesting question, we'll head across Europe after our investigation, there's something I need to check out."

After nearly ten minutes, Georg shook his head and started to sweat. 'Something's wrong. Did I get sick all of a sudden?' He might have, his body was starting to tremble and his stomach was starting to hurt for no reason. "I think..." He trailed off as the waitress came back and noticed that Heracles, Jeanne and Siegfried were all starting to look noticeably ill. "What..." His eyes widened and he put his hand to his mouth before heaving slightly. He started coughing, his throat felt like there was a bunch of flem in it that was trying to decide if it wanted to go up or down.

"Georg, what's..." Cao Cao stood up, only to find that his legs weren't working right. "What's..."

"Oh dear..." Amber said as she patted Cao Cao on the back, causing him to look at her smiling face, in her upraised hand was a single steaming plate. "It seems that the drugs I put in all of your drinks are kicking in now."

"What?" Cao Cao's eyes widened and he looked at Georg, who had blood running from his mouth as he coughed. "What did you do?!"

"Don't worry." She smiled at him and he swore that her eyes were lighting up in perverse delight at watching his friend suffer. "No one here can hear or see what's going on. I put a ward around this table, you could yell all you want and no one will notice."

The next thing that Cao Cao noticed was that Jeanne, Heracles and Siegfried were all vomiting, not blood, he noticed thankfully, but then they started to spasm and he grimaced as a new smell hit his nose. "What did..."

"Oh that?" Amber asked, her nose crinkling in disgust. "Just a drug that makes it impossible to control what's in your stomach and forces your body to vacate everything in your stomach through both ends." She giggled at Cao Cao's anger. "What's the matter, whiny little bitch?" Amber asked, causing Cao Cao to look at her in terror. "After what you and Vash-wannabe did to my wife, I want to make sure that you and your friends suffered. I have to thank Jedah for giving me this chance."

"That... That bastard! He betrayed us." Cao Cao tried to stand up but was pushed against the table.

"He just gave me the chance to get you, he didn't help me any other way." The redhead said a moment before Cao Cao felt a searing pain in the middle of his back. "As for your Vash-wannabe friend, that's actual poison, not sure which one, but doesn't matter, he's going to die because it's tearing his insides apart." She grinned at him and stepped away. "Come on, little bitch, call up your Longinus and stab me, I won't move."

"You bitch!" Cao Cao roared and stood up, spinning and calling up his spear, only to find that it weighed a ton in his hands and he lost his grip on it. "What the..." He looked up as Amber tapped him on the chest and sent him crashing onto the top of the table before dropping the plate on his chest, causing him to grunt as he couldn't move it. "What did you do to me?!"

"Ultimate Weakness Moxibustion." Amber replied as she pulled out a sheet of paper from between her breasts. "Oh, and my name isn't Amber, but you probably figured that out, huh? I told you." She smirked at him as a quick flash of magic caused the paper to combust and turn to ashes. "That the next time I saw you that I would make you pay for what you did to my wife."

"Ranma Saotome..." Cao Cao grunted, glaring at the redhead. "I'll kill you! When I get..."

"Yeah, yeah, you'll kill me, that's funny." She smirked as Georg fell over, spasming while Jeanne, Heracles and Siegfried all continued to puke and shit their pants. "Right now, you've got the strength of a newborn baby. And I wonder, Cao Cao... How many people in the Moonlight World have you wronged?"

Cao Cao's eyes widened and he trembled as the implications became clear. "...You wouldn't!"

"Already did." Ranma giggled and turned to walk off. "If I was you, I'd start making plans to escape the country." She slapped her ass and laughed at him. "Of course, I wonder how far you can get when everyone in the Moonlight World will know, within the hour, that you can't even lift your spear anymore. Might be fun to watch you suffer. Bye bye!" She waved and snapped her fingers before quickly slipping out into the back while people in the diner started to scream as they finally noticed what was going on at Cao Cao's table.

"Ranma Saotome! I swear I will have my revenge!" Cao Cao grumbled. "Just as soon as I can lift this empty plate off my chest!"

Meanwhile, outside...

Bulleta, having changed to pants and a shirt, looked up as Ranma, still in female form and changed clothes, ran out of the back of the diner. "So..."

"It's done." Ranma smiled at her. "Okay, now all we need to..."

"So you're the one I was looking for, nya?" A new female voice spoke up and Ranma stiffened as she heard that last word. "Oh? Scared of a little..." The voice trailed off as there was click-clak of a gun being cocked and pointed at her. "Ah, you think that can..."

"Name's Bulleta Hood or B.B. Hood as some people know me." She smirked as the catwoman went from flirty and smug to deathly pale in less than a second.

Ranma had her eyes closed, after all, if she couldn't see the evil monster, it couldn't get her. "I'd rather not talk near here, I just murdered someone after all."

"Fair point." Bulleta nodded at the neo-woman.

"Don't worry, I know about your ailurophobia, I don't have my tails or ears out." The woman said as Ranma turned to her and slowly opened her eyes, sighing in relief as the woman, who had long black hair and was wearing a loose kimono motioned for them to follow her. "If you want to hurry, let's go, follow me."

"Fine. What's your name?" Ranma asked as she picked up Bulleta and ran after the woman.

"Kuroka."

After a few minutes of running at high speeds through the night and ending up on a brick building some distance away from the diner, Ranma looked at Kuroka as she put Bulleta down. "So..."

"Got a phone call saying to come to England, to this town, to that diner and I would find a redhead..." Kuroka looked at Ranma and shook her head. "So..."

"You have an artifact from Egypt, don't you?" Ranma asked, causing her to blink as she reached in between her breasts and pulled out a ring that was on a chain that was connected to her neck. "May I?"

"Why should I give it up?" Kuroka asked the redhead, "I have no reason to..." She trailed off at the grin that Bulleta was giving her. "You know, I really should have taken Vali's advice and not be on the same continent as that crazy broad."

"Aww, how cute, you think a continent can protect you from me." Bulleta's grin widened.

"Knock it off." Ranma told her as she grabbed Bulleta's gun arm. "Anyway, don't you want to repopulate your species?"

"What? Are you telling me that you can do it?" Kuroka snorted at her. "In case you don't know, you don't have the equipment for that."

Ranma blinked and looked down. "Oh yeah, forgot I'm in this form." A glass with steaming water in it appeared in her hands. "Forgot to do this." She dumped it over her head and Kuroka stared as she gained several inches, lost her breasts and her hair turned black. "Good to be back in my birth form." Ranma grinned at Kuroka.

"...You're that guy who fought Vali!" Kuroka suddenly remembered what she had heard from Bikou about the fight. "And you fought Bikou to a stand-still!" She shivered, he may not have been one of the Dragon Emperors, but he was still pretty strong and skilled.

"And I beat up several members of that whiny bitch Cao Cao's group before subjecting him to the best punishment I could think of." Ranma chuckled darkly. "But I guess my reputation precedes me."

"...Fuck it," Kuroka couldn't get either Dragon Emperor to give her a chance, she decided to take a stab in the dark, "you want to make a baby with me?" Kuroka didn't know if he would, but it couldn't be a bad idea, after all, he did show power and ability.

"Sure." Ranma smirked at the gob-smacked look Kuroka gave him. "Not right now, but... How about one month from now?"

"That's better than any offer I'm getting right now!" Kuroka said, before sneezing and her breasts bounced out of her top. "DAMMIT!" She screamed and tucked her boobs back into her outfit. "I need a better outfit."

"Have you tried using a mesh outfit?" Ranma asked, causing her to blink at him. "Put a mesh kunoichi outfit on, it'll hug your body and keep your breasts from bouncing out."

"FUCK!" Kuroka swore as she realized that she never thought of that. "Fine! So, you want this ring? Here." She pulled the chain off of her neck and tossed it at Ranma, who caught it and removed the ring from the chain. "So now what?"

Ranma put the ring on his right ring finger and watched as it turned black with red symbols over it. "Well, let's see if this is what Nabiki told me it is." He looked at Kuroka. "Show me your Nekoshou self."

"Um..." Bulleta stepped away, knowing what the Nekoken was, having seen it at least once before, and started to sweat as Kuroka's ears and tails popped out. "Two tails, huh?"

"Yep." Kuroka nodded and looked at Ranma, who was looking at her and then at the ring before sighing and laughing. "What? What's so funny?"

"Nabs didn't tell me why I needed to get this ring from you." He muttered before blinking as his phone started to ring. "The heck?" Reaching into his pocket, he pulled it out and answered it. "Yo."

"Enjoying not being terrified of a catgirl?"

"Nabs, hold on, lemme put you on speaker." Ranma did just that. "Okay, so what is this ring that Kuroka gave me?"

"Holy artifact created by Bastet. It's not hurting you because even though she's a Goddess, she consorted with Demons, Devils and other things constantly. Before you ask, she was the first woman to ever fuck a centaur and gave rise to bestiality."

"Too much information." Bulleta, Ranma and Kuroka all deadpanned at the same time.

"Sorry, anyway, she had plenty of lovers that couldn't handle Holy power, so she made it safe for everyone to use. That ring specifically was designed for the cat warriors that served her in ancient times. And no, they weren't actually catpeople, they were humans who used the ring to let them communicate with cats of all types and gain their trust and abilities."

"Makes sense. What does this have to do with the Nekoken?"

"That's just it, that's what the Nekoken is, but coincidentally the technique you learned was developed independently of what Bastet did. And it turns out her ring can not only counter the ailurophobia caused by the Nekoken, but it seals away that technique."

"...Purely coincidental, huh?"

"I'm not a cat Goddess, so I don't make the rules, okay?"

"Fine, whatever. I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth here." Ranma shook his head as he hung up. "Well, that explains everything then."

"Nekoken?" Kuroka asked, a raised eyebrow.

"Moronic training that my father subjected me to, left me with extreme ailurophobia that turns me into a berserker if I'm around cats for too long." Ranma grumbled about not reading the full manual. "So..." Ranma gave Kuroka a slow grin. "Will you be joining us?" She raised an eyebrow. "Like I said, a month, I won't be able to knock you up until then at least, but if you leave..."

Kuroka laughed before nodding. "Fine! If a month is all I need to wait, then I'll take it."

Ranma sighed. "And here I was, not trying to get any more girls."

"Feh, I have to put up with this cat?" Bulleta scoffed.

"For a bit, anyway, we should head back to your place." Ranma told Bulleta. "We're going to need your supplies, then we're going to be working with Jedah for a bit longer."

"Tsk, fine, but only for the next month." Bulleta wagged her finger at him.

"Of course." Ranma nodded and looked at Kuroka as a black circle appeared above his head. "You coming or not?"

"...I will be when you ride me." She grinned seductively as she walked up to him.

"Not funny!" Bulleta yelled as the energy washed over them and they disappeared in a flash.

Hey, Bulleta, long time no see.

What? You seriously thought that Ranma's betrayal would be the only betrayal in this arc?

Yes, Thor exists in DxD, but we don't meet him, so... Yeah, just gunna rip off Marvel for the character design then.

"Is this the point you state it is your ninja way, Partner?"

"...Rias is watching anime while I'm sleeping, isn't she?" Issei asked.

"...Yes."

"I knew it!" He knew his dreams shouldn't be that much PG! Bless it! He was sleeping with naked girls! He should be having sexy naked dreams with lots of oppai!
