Dance With the Devil

Calm Prologue

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


Standing in the dojo, Ranma looked at his peerage, plus Kunou, Ravel, Bulleta and Kuroka and sighed at the looks they were giving him. "So... Am I going to get slapped, punched, yelled at or something else?"

"Take away their fun, why don't you?" Nabiki muttered from her position near him. She sweat-dropped at the glares she was getting and scooted back as best she could from her seiza position. "Just so you know, the whole joining Jedah thing was my idea, not his."

"We know." Mittelt said, her eye twitching. "That's why we're only upset with him and furious with you."

"In my defense, I tried to find any possibility where we could get a message to you and not trip Jedah off to the plan." Nabiki pointed out. "I ran every single scenario for nearly three weeks and couldn't find a single outcome that didn't end with the Vampires as Dragons, Rivezim unleashing Trihexa, Akeno dead or Jedah gaining the power of creation."

"The truth was, if you knew what we had planned, your reactions would have been forced." Ranma told them. "We had to be as authentic as possible to convince him. Plus he had most of us bugged and under surveillance."

"Then how did you get the time to tell Sirzechs and Azazel about this plan?" Mittelt asked.

"The offices of the Devil Kings are specifically warded against any form of scrying." Nabiki pointed out. "Even my Sacred Gear can't get through unless the windows or doors are open."

"I'm more concerned as to why you didn't tell me the truth that Jedah was the one who set up my family to be turned to stone." Yohko glared at the two of them. She sighed and shook her head. "Though I understand why after facing Rivezim down."

"Are there any more secrets you want to keep from us, Master?" Lilith asked, her eyes narrowed. "Or is this all of them?"

"I probably shouldn't tell you about how Morrigan forced me to have sex with her, huh?" Ranma chuckled as Lilith twitched, her aura exploding around her. "If it makes you feel better, you're both tighter and way more skilled than she was."

Lilith's aura cut out completely. "That actually does make me feel better, thank you."

"You also have a better dirty talk than she does," Ranma added.

Lilith nodded. "She's been feeding on too many old people."

"...Oddly, that explains the applesauce line," Ranma murmured.

Atsuko still looked at him with some anger in her eyes. "You know, the whole lightning to my face really fucking hurt. And not just because it practically shorts me out." She spun and walked out of the room, only stopping by the door. "The fact that you used my weakness against me, that's what I really hate."

Ranma sighed and rubbed his eyes. He knew this was going to happen, he also knew it was his fault they were upset at him. 'So how can I fix this?'

Mittelt got up and left after Atsuko.

Ravel shook her head. "Well, this kind of sucks." She gave Ranma a neutral look. "So what are you going to do now?"

Ranma shrugged. They had school tomorrow and would have to go, but he wondered just what he could do to get things to calm down at home.

"Daddy..." Kunou spoke up as she walked over to him. "Please don't do that again."

"I won't, I..." Ranma blinked as he felt a weight on his shoulders. "Lilith II?"

The Dragon nodded. "Ophis is still sleeping."

"It'll probably be a long time before she recovers from that poison Jedah was putting into her system." Nabiki mused. "Can I get up now?"

"No." Ravel, Kunou, Bulleta, Kuroka and Lilith all said at the same time.

"Sheesh, okay, okay!" Nabiki grumbled as she continued to sit in the seiza position.

"Can't believe Jedah named her after me." Lilith grumbled as she looked at the Dragon. Said Dragon shook her head at Lilith, her hair bobbing side to side. "Not after me?"

"Apparently it was Rivezim who named her and he named her after his mother." Ranma answered her. "Jedah said to name her Lilith II to prevent confusion in case you and her ever met up." He chuckled as Lilith crossed her arms and let out an annoyed sound.

Unnoticed by the others, Kuroka had slipped out of the room.

"Hey..." Mittelt spoke up as she got to the roof and saw Atsuko standing there.

"Hey." She nodded at her friend and part-time lover. "What do you want?"

"Needed to get out of the room, I still love him, but..." She sighed, getting a nod from Atsuko. "I don't know what to think right now. I'm so angry, frustrated and confused and I don't know what to do about it!"

"How about forgive him?" A new voice spoke up and the two turned to see Kuroka standing not far away from them, crouched on the edge of the roof like a cat. "I'm not saying you shouldn't be mad, but would you listen to me?" The two nodded slowly. "I don't know if you know, but I am, sorry, was a wanted criminal in Hell. A SS class criminal for killing my master. After I fled to save my own hide, my people and my sister suffered the fallout of my actions."

"Why are you telling us this?" Mittelt asked her.

"Because I did it to save my sister because my master was a jackass who tried to create artificial Super Devils and he would have used her to do so." Kuroka sighed softly. "But that's not the reason I'm telling you this. I'm telling you this because I didn't get to talk to my sister and couldn't explain to her what I did and now one of the things I want most in life is just the chance to make up with her. I don't want you two to suffer like my sister and I have."

"So we should just ignore what happened?" Atsuko asked.

"Of course not." Kuroka grinned at her. "What I'm saying is that you two should sit down, have a nice, long, hard conversation with your King, explain why he should never do that again while he's tied up, naked and you two are taking charge in the bedroom tonight."

Both of them gawked at her.

Kuroka just grinned at the two. "Oh come on, you two are putting out as much of a bitch scent as I do when I go into heat, you can't tell me that you two don't want his dick right now." She stood up fully and giggled. "Whether you two act on your urges or not is up to you, but I really suggest that you don't stew in your anger." She turned and waved at them. "But, like I said, it's up to you. Later." She waved and jumped off, leaving the two of them alone in their thoughts.

It was several minutes later when Mittelt finally spoke up. "So..."

"I think I like her advice." Atsuko nodded and looked at Mittelt, who grinned and the two ran back inside. They had a wayward King to deal with.

In the living room...

"So are things always this tense around here?" Yohko asked as she and Lilith sat around watching television.

"Only because someone didn't get laid when it was their turn and now they're upset about it." Lilith shrugged at her and blinked as she saw Atsuko and Mittelt run through the house. "You get used to it."

"Um, so..." Yohko looked at her, her face flushed. "Is sex a requirement..."

"Nope, but it's highly encouraged!" Lilith grinned at her. "Though you'll probably have to wait until I get a chance at Master again." She laughed as Yohko's face got redder. "But don't worry, Master will make time for you too."

Yohko nodded, her face still flushed. "You know, it's funny." Lilith tilted her head. "I lived as a human and couldn't get laid since every guy I was interested in was either a Devil, a puppet, died on me or was gay." Lilith sweat-dropped at hearing that. "Now I'm a Devil and if I actually lose my virginity, it'll be to another Devil. Talk about ironic." She shook her head, remembering when she nearly lost her virginity and any chance to inherit her Devil Hunter powers to her Devil possessed boyfriend at the time.

"If it makes you feel better, the fact that you're a former Devil Hunter won't be used against you." Lilith said. "After all, Xenovia worked for the Vatican and she hasn't gotten any hatred sent her way for hunting down Devils when she was working for them."

"That does make me feel better, thanks." Yohko gave her a wry smile. "So... School tomorrow, huh?"

"Yep." Lilith nodded and twitched. "Oh for the love of..." She stood up and ran off. "ATSUKO! MITTELT! NO FAIR JUMPING THE LINE! I WAS SUPPOSED TO GET MASTER FIRST WHEN HE GOT HOME! YOU PROMISED ME!"

Yohko sweat-dropped heavily. "Well, this place is live...ly?" She looked down as she felt someone hug her leg. "Yes?"

Lilith II smiled at her. "You're nice."

"Thanks." Yohko smiled back.

Ranma blinked as he was pushed onto her bed, and Mittelt jumped on top of him.

Neither were undressed, but she cuddled into his chest. Not far away, Atsuko watched and waited.

He knew why Mittelt was cuddling, when he felt a warm wetness on his chest, from her face.

His armed wrapped around her, pulling her tightly to him. "If I took you," he explained, "Jedah would have been able to use you against me, endangered you for his own plans." She nodded and sniffled softly. "The way I did it, I could keep you safer, keep any blame away from you if things went badly. You've been through enough already, without me pulling the shit your old team did, without making it seem like all Fallen would just go be bad guys if given a chance for power. And I'm sorry."

"Do you mean it?" Atsuko asked, getting a nod from Ranma. "...Good." She pulled off her shirt and bra in one go, leaving her topless. "I've heard of something called makeup sex. You're going to be having it with us."

"Way to ruin the mood." Mittelt muttered as she sat up and took her own shirt off. "But I'm okay with makeup sex too."

The next day...

"I tell ya!" Matsuda yelled as he glared at Issei as the latter walked onto school grounds with Rias, Akeno and Xenovia. "You disappear for a month, no word from you or anyone around you and then you just show up again! I almost thought you went off and got hitched!"

"Um, about that..." Issei rubbed the back of his head and looked at Xenovia, who smiled at him. "I'll tell you later."

"I'd love to chat," Rias said as she put a hand on Issei's shoulder, "but Akeno and I have to talk to Sona about some stuff."

Matsuda shuddered as the two took off. "Yo, I don't know what they did, but I'm glad it's them and not me that's talking to that crazy sadist." Issei and Xenovia both looked at him in confusion. "Don't ask. Anyway..."

"Hey!" Motohama walked up to the four of them as he adjusted his glasses. "I got a hot new scoop. Huh? What's with the finger-less glove on your hand, Xenovia?"

"Ah!" Xenovia giggled softly. "Sorry, was practicing some Kendo and got into an accident that ended with me taking a trip to the emergency room. It's kind of embarrassing." She rubbed the back of her head as she laughed.

"So the glove's just to cover up the wound." Issei supplied for them. "It's not a big deal. Anyway, what do you know?"

"Ah! Right! There's a new girl set to join the school today. She's not in our class, but what I've heard she's really pretty and..."

"You're talking about her?" Xenovia asked as she pointed at the gate where a new face was walking in the school, followed by a little girl that no one had seen before but was wearing the elementary school uniform of Kuoh Academy. "I met her. She's Yohko Mano and that little girl is Lilith II."

"...Is she related to Ranma's servant?" Matsuda grumbled in annoyance.

"Nah. The guy who named her named her after his mother." Issei supplied for Matsuda. "Don't ask, the old guy was a freak from what I heard."

"Anyway, I heard that she's super athletic and such." Motohama grinned. "Which means she might join the kendo club and we'll have a new target to..." He trailed off as Issei sighed. "What?"

"You do realize that I come to school with lots of pretty girls, right?" Issei asked, getting a nod from the two of them. "Plus..." He pointed behind them and the two turned to see Ranma standing behind them giving them a scary smile. "Have fun." He waved and walked off with Xenovia.

"I'm surprised you didn't take them up on their offer." Xenovia muttered in shock.

"What? You're my fiancee," sure, Issei hadn't bought her a ring yet, but he'd tell his friends and the school soon enough, "and besides, I get to see you and Rias naked whenever I want to and without getting hurt."

Xenovia blushed and smiled at him. "Thanks." The two got inside and ignored the screams from Matsuda and Motohama, they knew Ranma wouldn't hurt them.

Meanwhile Matsuda and Motohama were on their knees, tears falling out of their eyes after the dressing down Ranma gave them.

"Sheesh!" Aika Kiryu gawked at Ranma. "I get it, they are losers, but you didn't need to tear them down like that... Did you?"

"If they want to be losers who can't get any and the closest chance they can get to getting laid is their right hands and porn, that's fine." Ranma shrugged at her. "I don't even care if they want to peep on girls most of the time, but there's a couple of little girls that go to this school now..." Ranma's eyes seemed to glow as he grinned and even Aika shuddered in fear. "Let's just say that they're part of my family, if either of these limp-dicked losers peep on them... Well, the only way you're going to get laid is by getting a boyfriend."

"NOOOO!" The two perverts screamed in terror and quickly fled the scene.

"Um..." Aika spoke up after they were gone. "...You weren't talking about castrating them, were you?"

"Nope, I would have forced them to live the rest of their lives as girls." Ranma chuckled as Aika turned green at that. "Anyway, see ya."

As he walked off, the perverted girl shuddered in fear. "He's terrifying!"

After school...

"So this is the Occult Research Club?" Yohko asked as Ranma and Lilith led her and Lilith II into the old school building.

"No, this is the old school building that we remodeled into the Occult Research Club." Lilith pointed out happily. "Oh! Master! You know that we're in a new room right?"

"Figured we would be." Ranma smirked at her.

After a few minutes, the four walked into the new meeting room and Yohko was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable it looked. "This was a former classroom?"

"We added a lot of couches and comfy chairs." Azazel grinned at her. "If we're going to spend time in here getting all these delinquents caught up on their homework, we might as well be comfortable while doing so." He laughed as said delinquents all gave him dirty looks.

"Don't blame us for needing to run off and save a friend." Rias grumbled as she pulled out a thick stack of papers. "This is going to take us some time to get caught up, isn't it?"

"Journey of a thousand miles and all that." Kiba commented as he smiled while working on his homework.

"Anyway, before we all get too far in." Azazel motioned towards Yohko and Lilith II. "Miss Mano and Lilith II will officially be part of the Occult Research club for now. I say for now because I'm not forcing a Dragon to do what she doesn't want to do."

There were chuckles around the room as the teens got to work on catching up on their homework.

Hours later...

"NGH!" Rias groaned as she stretched, wincing as her back popped. "I feel like I'm getting nowhere fast."

"That's what happens when you have lots of makeup work on top of the daily assignments, sadly." Akeno shook her head. "Thankfully the teachers are giving us time to get everything caught up before they get upset."

"At least you only have one month of makeup work to do, I have three." Ranma grumbled, thankfully Lilith and Ravel were both there helping him and the rest who left for Europe get caught up on their homework as they hadn't gone with.

"That's what happens when you decide to do Black Ops work." Azazel smirked at him from behind his desk at the front of the classroom.

"You're still mad about me stabbing you, aren't you?" Ranma gave him an annoyed look as Azazel shrugged.

A few minutes later and a blue sigil appeared in the room. Everyone stood up as they felt the familiar feel of teleportation magic. After the light died down, Serafall Leviathan in a casual green business suit stood in the room. "Oh, drat, I messed up, I was hoping to teleport into the hallway and come through the door, but I guess this works too." She pouted at Rias. "You just had to move the room, didn't you?"

"It was getting too crowded in the old room, Lady Leviathan." Rias said calmly as she smiled at the Devil King. "Is there something we can do for you?"

"Well, for one, I was just checking on all of you. Sirzechs would have come himself but Grayfia won't let him go." She giggled and winked at her. "Oh, and there's one more thing too!" She smiled and looked at Ranma. "Congratulations, Ranma, on officially becoming a high ranking Devil."

"HUH?!" Most everyone in the room gawked at her as she smiled pleasantly.

Calm Prologue End


Calm before the storm, obviously.

And Make Up Sex is awesome.

So while I am working on the next arc, I am NOWHERE near finished with it, but I figured none of you wanted to wait long for me to start posting this here.
