Ranma 1/2, High School DxD, Darkstalkers and the rest are owned by their respective owners. I own nothing.

If only I did, that would be awesome.

Chapter 6

Rias looked at Akeno, who was standing around while everyone was leaving. "Akeno? What's wrong?"

Akeno smiled at her. "Oh, nothing, I was thinking about the upcoming Rating Game." She turned to Azazel. "Is there a good reason that I wasn't allowed? Or were you trying to just have diverse teams for each team?"

"The latter." Azazel admitted to her. "It does look like neither team will have a full sixteen members and it sounds like Ranma is going to have one extra member, so if you wanted to join, feel free to." Akeno nodded and smiled at him. "Please understand, when I made that decision, I thought they'd both get sixteen members." He looked at Rias. "Should Ranma get two members, you'll be allowed to join in as well, Miss Gremory."

"Gee, thanks for taking my feelings into account." Rias muttered. "But I understand, this is to promote them and Issei might defer to me if I was there." She smiled at Akeno and Azazel. "But it's fine, I'll just make sure to work everyone to the bone to prepare this week."

Akeno sweat-dropped heavily and had a bemused look on her face. "I'm not sure if I should get a riding crop for you or not."

Rias gave her an annoyed look as the two left and walked down the hallway while Azazel was heard laughing. "Riding crop? Oh please! You don't even have one of those." She paused at the blush and smile on Akeno's face. "...I should teach Issei how to use it on you." She bit back a grin as Akeno blushed more while there was a thump heard from the end of the hallway. "Issei?"

Issei got off the floor and had a grin on his face. "You seriously want me to do that stuff?"

Akeno was blushing but gave him a small nod. "I, um, kind of like it when I have no control in bed."

Issei jumped and cheered. "Alright then! I'll have to try some new stuff on you then."

Akeno blushed and fidgeted in place. "Please don't talk like that, you're making me so wet."

Rias coughed into her hand. "Akeno, keep your panties on, Issei, wait until tonight at least and Koneko, stop looking jealous from behind Issei, you know that it's risky for you."

"That's fine, I wake him up with blowjobs anyway." Koneko stuck her tongue out. "He tastes best in the morning."

"Well, waking up to a cute girl sucking me off isn't the worst wake up in the world." Issei admitted, grinning. "At least it's not waking up to an explosion or something." The girls nodded as they walked out of the building. Issei blinked as he looked around when they got outside. "Where's Irina, Xenovia, Asia and Ophis?" He thought they would have waited for him at least, but they were nowhere to be found.

Rias raised an eyebrow and looked on the ground. "Huh, Ophis didn't want to wait and teleported all of them to your house." She pointed at the ground. "Apparently she left a message in the dirt for us."

"You take too long, I'll be at your place, take too long and I'll eat all your food." Issei said as he read it aloud. "...Well, I guess we shouldn't wait then, huh?" He paused as he saw Rias put a hand to her head. "Are you okay, Rias?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Rias smiled at him as she lowered her hand. "I felt a minor headache, nothing more."

"Do you need a neck massage?" Akeno asked and Rias nodded. "Okay, we'll do that when we get back then."

"Thank you." Rias smiled at her friend and part-time lover. "Let's go." The others nodded and they left the school.

Later in the day...

Ranma looked around the living room as everyone in his house was gathered around. "Okay, so we're merely waiting for..." He trailed off as there was a knocking at the door. He nodded to Kunou, who got up and went to get the door. He smiled as Kunou came back with Cologne, Shampoo and Mousse. "Ah, glad you three could join us."

Mousse had to adjust his glasses. "Well, I wasn't interested in showing up, but I was dragged out here and..." Whatever else he was going to say was cut off as he was smacked on the top of the head.

"Quiet." Cologne shook her head as she walked into the living room. "I can't say that I have altruistic reasons for doing this, for these two it will do them some good."

"Wait, that old woman's going to be joining?" Ravel asked and Ranma nodded. "...Are you turning her into a Devil?"

"No," Cologne shook her head. "I have no interest in becoming a Devil. Regaining my youth for a day just to have some fun might sounds more appealing though."

Bulleta gave Ranma a confused look. "Why not ask my butler then? I was on the phone with him a few hours ago." She sighed as a somber look came to her face. "He had a heart attack a few days ago. He's recovered, but he told me that his days are numbered."

"Sorry to hear that." Ranma told her. "If you want..."

"Bah!" Bulleta shook her head. "He's old, he told me not to worry about him and enjoy my life."

"It doesn't mean you can't be sad." Kunou said with a small frown. "When mother was captured, I was very sad, even though she was still alive."

"I'll deal with it later." Bulleta grumbled in annoyance. "How about we get this meeting on?" She growled at some of the looks she got. "Seriously! I'll deal with it later, okay?!"

"Ah, right," Ravel coughed as she grabbed a remote and clicked a button, causing a holographic board to appear behind her with Issei's face on it. "So most of us know our opponent in this upcoming Rating Game very well, but I'll run over the abilities of each one that we know will be there. First is the acting King of the group, Issei Hyuudou. The current Red Dragon Emperor has come a long way since he first became a Devil. His Sacred Gear and its enhanced forms are the problem."

Ranma spoke up. "From what I know, he's got some forms based on his pieces and a whole new super mode that turns him Golden. I don't know much about it since he hasn't used it since the whole debacle in Transylvania. He has a Dragon-slaying sword fused with his Sacred Gear, which would give me trouble if I use that artificial Sacred Gear, plus he has Divine Dividing, though Azazel put a seal on that, so I don't think we have to worry about that."

"Right." Ravel nodded. "No matter what you think of him personally, he's a power house and equal to any Ultimate Class Devil. Considering he was a normal human not too long ago, he's come a long way."

"Red Dragon Emperors tend to get strong very fast." Cologne told her. "Who else?"

"Right." Ravel nodded and clicked the remote, "as for the rest..."

Meanwhile...

"And that's the last of what we know of Ranma's team," Irina finished up. "Any questions?" No one said anything and she smiled. "Well, that's all then." Xenovia stood up and walked into the kitchen.

Akeno, who was rubbing Rias's shoulders, smiled. "That's good, though, Rias, I'm not feeling any tension in your shoulders or neck. Do you still have a headache?"

"A very minor one." Rias admitted and blinked as she felt Akeno's hands slipping forward. "Akeno?"

"Well..." Akeno smiled as she ran her hands over Rias's chest, above the redhead's breasts, "I've heard that the best way to deal with a headache is sex."

Irina smiled and sweat-dropped. "And that's my cue to head to my apartment. While I do love spending time with my husband, I know that if I stick around at all, I'll become tempted to fall to sin." The others nodded, knowing her circumstance. "But, Issei..." She fidgeted before going over to him and giving him a chaste kiss on the lips. "In the future, please fulfill your duties with me as well." The redhead smiled and blushed before leaving the building and waving goodbye.

"Well then..." Akeno's grin matched Issei's. "Shall the three of us have some fun tonight?" She ignored the pouting faces of Asia and Koneko as she, Issei and Rias all went to the bedroom.

After they were gone, Koneko sighed. "I hate having a tiny body." She knew it was only a few more years and she'd have a body that would be similar to her sister's, but that didn't mean that she had to like being so tiny.

Asia was about to say something when she found herself on her back with a body on top of her. "Ack! Oh, Ophis!" She jerked in surprise at the small Dragon who was wearing just a large t-shirt. "What are you doing? Is your underwear uncomfortable?"

"No. I smelled something weird coming from those three, can you answer what that was?" She had a confused look on her face as she tilted her head.

"Ah, that's... Um," Asia blushed, "arousal. When we're aroused, we put out a certain smell to attract someone we're close to."

"Close to?" Ophis asked in confusion and looked at Koneko and Xenovia, who was walking in the room with a glass of water. "What does that mean?"

"It means that scent you smelled is when we're trying to attract a mate." Xenovia answered the Dragon. "Where were you?"

"Exploring this building." Ophis told her. "A mate, huh?" She tilted her head in confusion before nodding. "Oh, right, others need to mix energy together to continue on, yes?" Xenovia and Asia both nodded. "...How does your species mate?" Asia and Xenovia both blushed while Koneko gawked at her. "Can you show me?"

"Wh-wh-what?" Asia stammered and looked towards Koneko and Xenovia for help.

"We're not mates." Koneko answered.

"Oh, only mates can do that with each other?" Ophis asked in confusion and the others nodded, not wanting to explain how complicated it really was. "...I see." She closed her eyes and tapped her chin in thought. "...The Red Dragon Emperor is your mate, yes?"

"Yes, Issei is," Xenovia answered her and gulped as Ophis opened her eyes and had a look of understanding on her face. "Um, Ophis, what are you..."

"I shall become the Red Dragon Emperor's mate and then you will be mine and you can show me how to mate." Ophis agreed and got off of Asia.

"NO!" Asia and Koneko both yelled as they jumped at the Dragon, tackling her to the ground.

Ophis blinked as she was tackled to the ground. "...No? But how can I learn what mating is if I do not have a mate?" She gave the two girls that were on top of her a confused look. "Or?" Her eyes narrowed and both Koneko and Asia gulped as they started to feel a build-up of power. "Is there something else?"

"We're mates with Issei." Xenovia explained to Ophis. "Because we share with him, we sometimes share each other."

"Oh." Ophis nodded as the power faded and all the girls sighed in relief. "But why share the same mate? And, why won't you share with me?"

"Ah..." Koneko, Asia and Xenovia sweat-dropped heavily as they realized it was going to be difficult to explain to a curious Dragon about the concept of what it meant to be intimate.

It was a difficult task.

Made even more difficult by the fact that every time Ophis misunderstood what was going on, she tried to go after Issei.

"Can Dragons even breed like other species?" Xenovia asked Ophis as she held the small Dragon in a bear hug from behind.

"...I have no clue." Ophis admitted. "Maybe?"

"How come you're allowing us to manhandle you like this?" Xenovia asked the small Dragon, knowing that Ophis could, at any time, simply teleport out of her grasp, over-power her or do much worse.

Ophis turned her head and smiled. "I think this is what's called having fun." She giggled at the dumbfounded look that Xenovia had on her face and slipped out of the blue-haired girl's grasp. "Thank you." She then turned and walked away from Issei's room. "I'll have to learn how you breed later then."

After Ophis left the room, Xenovia sighed and felt herself slumping to the ground and onto her back. "Is this what having kids is like? Because that was exhausting." She yelped as she found herself being lifted up. "What the? Koneko?" She looked down to see the small girl, who was holding her by her butt.

"I want a body pillow." Koneko told her.

Xenovia nodded and smiled. "Ah, sure, you can put me down."

"No." Koneko said as she ran upstairs to her room with Xenovia held over her head.

Watching them run off, Asia just giggled. "This is..." She trailed off as something hit in her in the head. Blinking, she pulled it off, only to reveal that it was a large shirt. She looked up and gawked as Ophis stood there in just plain white panties. "What are you doing?"

"I don't like the shirt." Ophis told her and frowned. "I think I used to wear a dress, but I don't know if I want to."

"Did..." Asia began as she stood up. "Did getting your soul cut off from you cause you to start acting and thinking how you look?"

Ophis looked at her and tilted her head. "I don't know." She scratched her chest and frowned when Asia asked her to stop. "It itches."

"I, I understand that." Asia smiled and gave her the shirt back. "Please, just wear some clothes. We'll figure something out, but you can't run around naked all the time." Ophis pouted cutely but took the shirt and put it on. "Thank you. Please, don't run around without clothes on. I know it can be annoying, but most people don't run around naked."

"...Some do though?" Ophis asked and Asia nodded. "...I see. Tell me, why are you the Red Dragon Emperor's mate?"

"Ah, that..." Asia smiled and blushed. "...Issei was my first friend. I working with the Fallen Angels at the time, but Issei, even after finding out, wanted to protect me, he wanted to save me. At first, I just liked him because he was so kind, but over time, I got to know him and he might be perverted, but he's a really good person. I fell in love with him and eventually became one of his mates not too long ago."

"What is love?" Ophis asked and tilted her head. "Can you eat it?"

"Ah!" Asia's pupils shrank as she tried to think of a way to explain it. "There's lots of different types of love. Not just for our mates, but those who we consider a family and those we are close to."

Ophis nodded and cupped her chin. "It sounds hard." Asia nodded. "Okay." She pointed at Asia. "So what is the purpose of breeding?"

Asia blushed and tapped her fingers together. "It... It feels really good, you're really close to someone you really love and are totally vulnerable, they get as close as possible to you and it's a way to express your love to each other. But the main reason is to bring children into the world."

Ophis tilted her head. "Hmm..." She nodded and the next thing Asia knew, Ophis tackled her to the ground. "Then teach me how to breed."

"Ah!" Asia's face was bright red. "I... I don't have the right equipment for that. I would need a penis to do that."

"A penis?" Ophis tilted her head. "That is... A male organ, yes? I think I remember seeing animals with something between their legs." Asia nodded and Ophis lowered her head so that she was resting her forehead on Asia's forehead. "Should I give you one?"

"Ack!" Asia's eyes started to spin. "No! Please! I don't want to be a futanari!"

"Hmm," Ophis pursed her lips. "Would it be bad?" Asia nodded and Ophis blinked as she saw tears in Asia's eyes. "...Why are your eyes watering?"

"Please don't!" Asia begged the Dragon. "I don't want that. Issei wouldn't want that. Please!"

Ophis watched Asia sniffle before nodding. "Okay, I won't." Asia sighed in relief and wiped her eyes as Ophis got off of her. "I feel dirty, where can I get cleaned?"

Asia got up off the floor. "I'll take you to the baths." Ophis nodded as Asia led her to the baths.

Meanwhile...

Standing up as he heard a thump, Ranma stared as Lilith II ran out from the game room, completely nude while Kuroka, who was in just her underwear, ran out after her. "...What happened?" Ranma asked as Lilith II ran behind him.

Kuroka slid to a stop in front of him, growling while her breasts wobbled. "We were playing darts..."

"Strip darts?" Ranma asked and Kuroka nodded. "...How does that work?"

"You're supposed to hit the twenty, then the ninteen and such, each time you missed, you have to remove a piece." Kuroka told him before rolling her eyes as his eyes were on her breasts. Cupping them, she wobbled them in her hands. "Enjoying the show?"

"Tremendously, yes." Ranma nodded, "so what happened after that?"

"Little brat was going to throw a dart but spilled a drink on the floor, I slipped on it, hit her with the cup and she threw the dart into my butt!"

Ranma paused and turned to look at Lilith II. "Did you?" She nodded. "Why?"

"Was angry."

Ranma nodded and sat down, grabbing Lilith II's arm and pulled her over his lap. "That wasn't nice, so..."

Kuroka found her anger dissipating as Ranma spanked the Dragon, getting squeaks and whimpers of pain from her. "Good, now I'm going to go find some ointment for my butt." She grumbled and walked off.

Ranma stopped spanking Lilith II and pulled her off of his lap. "Don't do that again, that wasn't nice, okay?" Lilith II nodded and pouted. "Do you think I wanted to do that?"

"...Maybe?" Lilith II said and Ranma sighed. "You spank Nuku and the other one."

"There's a difference between spanking them and spanking you just now." Ranma pointed out as she rubbed her butt. "One day you'll understand, okay?" The loli Dragon tilted her head, her ponytail bobbing to the side before she nodded. "Next time you see Kuroka, apologize to her."

Lilith II nodded. "...Do you like me?"

"I like you as a person." Ranma answered and Lilith II shook her head. "...Oh, you mean, do I like you like I like Lilith or Atsuko?" Lilith II nodded. "...I don't." He cupped her cheek as she looked upset. "That's because you're more like a daughter than a lover to me. Okay?"

Lilith II paused and frowned. "Difference?"

Ranma smiled at her and hugged her to him. "Yeah, there is." He said while patting her back. "Now go to your room and get dressed before the other Lilith sees you and tries to do lewd things to you again." He laughed as she suddenly disappeared and he heard a door open and close suddenly.

"You handled her well, boy." An old voice spoke up. Ranma leaned back on the couch and saw Happosai standing on a railing above him. "You'll do fine as an actual father in the future, I think." He jumped off of the railing and landed on the couch next to Ranma. "Of course, that Dragon could just make herself older if she wanted to." A twinkle came to his eyes. "Perhaps she'll want you?"

"Unlikely," Ranma shook his head, "she just has a female form, she could turn herself into an old man in the future if she wants to." He ignored Happosai's chuckling. "I assume you were listening in on the meeting?"

"Of course," Happosai nodded at him, "I'm not going to join you though." He shook his head. "I heard that you were going to give Cologne her youth back, and I'd like that, but I'm not going to join you." Ranma raised an eyebrow and Happosai snorted. "I didn't become a martial artist to prove my strength or test myself. I became one to enjoy the finer things in life. Boobs, butts, panties, wine and money." Happosai closed his eyes and wagged his finger. "I had to get strong to keep alive, nothing more."

"I was really hoping you would." Ranma told him. "...Is there nothing that I can offer you?"

Happosai shook his head. "No. While the thought of being young again is a fine one, doing so just to fight against others isn't what I consider fun." The small Grandmaster of Anything Goes just smiled. "I admit, the thought of fondling the women that the Red Dragon Emperor claimed as his own would be amazing, I'm not foolish enough to draw the wrath of a Dragon."

"Plus, with your luck, you'd be facing off against Gasper." Ranma muttered, getting a confused look from Happosai. "He's a trap."

"Oh!" Happosai's eyes widened and he shuddered. "I've met too many of those in my life, no thank you." After calming down, he dusted himself off. "Look, Ranma, I've got other things to do, but if I have time, I'll cheer you on." A proud smile came to his face. "In terms of combat and perversion, you're well on your way of surpassing me. I'm content knowing that my martial arts are in good hands. But there is one more reason I won't go with you." Ranma raised an eyebrow and nodded. "The Amazons." Happosai narrowed his eyes. "I'm their eternal enemy. While I could work with Cologne if the situation called for it, the fact is, I've done too much bad stuff to them and she might try to kill me in the middle of the fight." He sighed while shaking his head and shrugging. "It really is sad, for them to hold a grudge for nearly three hundred years like that."

Ranma gave him an amused look. "Well, it'll still be a shame to not have you there."

"What about your father?" Happosai asked. "Genma's a good fighter, even if he wants to take it easy."

"Hmm," Ranma tapped his chin and shook his head. "Do you really think he'd join in a tournament if there was no money or food as the prize?"

"Good point." Happosai nodded. "So, what now?"

"...Now?" Ranma asked rhetorically. "...I guess train and get ready. Only a few days. Then again..." He paused as he turned his head and saw Lilith looking down the stairs at him. "Lilith, we need to talk about something."

She blinked and nodded as Ranma walked over and jumped up the stairs. "Sure, master, about what?"

"Not here." Ranma said and led her to the room. "We need to decide about the future."

"Oh, okay." Lilith nodded as he closed the door behind him.

Happosai gave a small nod to Ranma. "Good luck, Ranma. I have something I need to do." He looked around and soaked in the image of the house before jumping off and leaving.

End Chapter 6

So, it was at this point, when I was writing, that I realized that I really didn't want to write 26 different characters fighting, my mind would have burned out, so I cut the amount of people down a few slots at this point. The reason 4 vials was introduced in the previous chapter was because I intended to have four people. The final old person was originally going to be Yohko's grandmother. But, again, as I wrote and planned it, I hit a wall, realizing that things would be a pain in the butt. So, I simplified it.
