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

If only I did.

Chapter 2

Azazel found himself laughing when he heard what happened. "That's, hahahahaha! She had steam coming out of her ears?" Ranma nodded and Azazel just shook his head as his laughter slowly died down. "That's hilarious, but more importantly." He smiled at Serafall, "congrats. I assume that you just found out?"

"Well..." Serafall smiled, blushing, "not really, I knew, but wanted to confirm, plus I wanted to wait on the announcement in case something happened before I confirmed." She hugged Ranma. "Even though he and Lilith both confirmed that I was pregnant, it's not an easy thing to believe, you know?"

Azazel chuckled and nodded as Nabiki and Asia walked in.

Nabiki gave Ranma a smirk. "The rumor mill is going crazy right now. Plus with the amount of people still pissed about Rias being pregnant, you just made things more crazy around here."

"Speaking of which..." Ranma began as he looked at her while Serafall went and sat down on one of the chairs next to Lillie, who was doing something with some dice. "How did that go over?"

"About as well as could be expected." Asia said with a nervous expression on her face. "Rias didn't announce it until she started to show, when someone finally saw the baby bump, well..."

*Flash*

"WHAT?!" Most of the girls in Rias's class gasped as they saw Rias's stomach and the swell it had. "When?! Who?!"

Rias sighed, she was just starting to show, but it was pretty noticeable, considering how she wasn't exactly super big around her stomach. "Around two months ago..." She knew how crazy things were going to get as soon as the father was announced. She looked at Akeno, who was simply smiling at her and she knew that her friend wasn't going to help her in this case. "Yes, he knows that I'm pregnant and that's all I'm going to say on the matter."

"So the rumors of you and Hyuudou are true!" One of the girls gasped and Rias twitched.

"That bastard!" One of the other girls cried out. "How dare he defile our pure, sweet princess?!"

Rias sweat-dropped heavily. "I'm the one who seduced him."

"He must be at fault! To arms!" The same girl yelled and before Rias or Akeno knew what was happening, the classroom had cleared out and were rushing to find Issei.

Rias rubbed her forehead and pulled out a phone. "Akeno, could you..."

"I'm on it." Akeno said as she rushed out.

*End Flashback*

"By the time Akeno, Sona and Tsubaki calmed everyone down, the gym was heavily damaged, a few trees destroyed and some suspensions handed out." Asia said and hung her head. "Issei didn't get suspended, but he and Rias did spend some time going through parenting classes to prepare for the baby."

"How is Rias doing?" Serafall asked as she rolled some dice into a box.

"She's..." Nabiki trailed off as the door burst open.

"Hear me! Hear me!" Rias, wearing an impossibly pink dress, walked into the room. "I want a horsey, a chocolate sundae and my feet rubbed and... Oh, hey, Ranma! Lilith! Lady Leviathan, do any of you have a kitty I can pet? I want to hear it purr in my hands."

"She's gone a bit crazy." Asia smiled nervously. "The other day she wanted to go swimming in the pool."

"That's not so bad." Lilith muttered, "what's the catch?"

Rias pouted and her eyes teared up. "No one would fill it with chocolate pudding!"

Akeno rubbed Rias's back. "If you want a small pool of chocolate pudding to lay in, I'm sure that we can get that at home."

"But I want the school swimming pool to be full of chocolate pudding!" Rias stomped her foot and walked over to the couch in the corner and started to sob while Akeno walked over to comfort her.

"Yeah, she's been like that." Nabiki said and Ranma sweat-dropped heavily. "She can keep it under control during school hours, but when she's in the club room, it all comes rushing out."

Ranma shook his head. "That's kind of terrifying. ...And she still has another four months or so of this, doesn't she?"

Asia and Akeno actually groaned when they heard that.

"She keeps us up at night wanting one of us to get her something random from the store." Akeno said with a tired smile and rubbed Rias's back, only for Rias to sit up and lean back, laying on Akeno's lap. "Rias?"

"Akeno, have I told you that I love you?" Rias asked with a blush on her face as she reached up, cupped Akeno's face and pulled her down while leaning up and kissing her on the lips.

"And this happens a lot." Nabiki said as she walked over to where Lillie was, who was watching what was going on with great interest. "Hey, kiddo. Anyway, there's supposed to be some guests showing up in a few minutes and then we can talk about some stuff."

"Guests?" Asia asked, getting nods from the others. "Why wasn't I told?"

"Well, all I know is that one of them is going to be from Heaven." Lilith told them. "Nabiki and I worked out something for them. Dunno who the other one is, or if there's more than just one more."

Azazel merely shrugged when a flash of light flooded the room, forcing everyone to look away, when it was over, Azazel looked at who was in the room and he couldn't contain his grin.

Dressed in a casual white dress was Gabriel, who was pushing a strand of her golden hair out of her eyes. "Hello, I hope that I'm not late for this meeting."

"AH!" Serafall's eyes were white and blank as she jumped to her feet and pointed at Gabriel. "It's you! My biggest rival!"

Gabriel blinked adorably and pointed at herself. "I am? For what?"

"Don't give me that!" Serafall yelled and looked to be ready to jump at Gabriel when Ranma put his hands on her shoulders to stop her. "You and I are the female leaders of Heaven and Hell! That makes us rivals!"

Gabriel scratched her head while Ranma leaned down and whispered something to Serafall to get her to relax and nod. "So, if we're rivals, how do we settle this?"

"I suggest strip poker." Azazel grinned. "It could be fun."

"No thanks." Ranma shook his head. "I'm horrible at cards. I can get good hands, but my poker face is the worst on the planet." He gave Azazel an annoyed look when Azazel opened his mouth. "Don't ask, I don't play that game in my girl form either."

"Speaking of girl forms..." Nabiki spoke up, "if you're wondering about Kiba, she goes by Yukiko now and has adapted quite well to being a girl. Most of the girls in the school were really upset about Kiba leaving for America."

Sitting up, Rias perked up. "Yukiko is a really good girl too. Though she doesn't quite like shopping like us yet."

"I'm glad that she's adapting." Lilith said and looked at Gabriel. "As for you, no, you're not early, in fact, I was wondering something, Lady Gabriel."

The fact that Lilith was going so far as to speak to her in such tones had Gabriel giving the other woman her full attention. "Go on, what is it, Lady Aensland?"

Lilith smiled at the Archangel. "How much would it mean to you if I told you that I could restart the system your father left behind?"

Gabriel's pupils shrank at the implications. "That is..."

Suddenly the door to the room burst open and two people walked in. One was a shorter woman with bright red hair done up in a twin tail style similar to Serafall, a large bust, purple eyes and was wearing a black dress with a black cloak over her shoulders. The other one was a bald man with a goatee holding a fairly large box of some sort.

"Ah, Falbium and..." Azazel stared at the woman. "Isn't that..?"

"Where's my grandbaby?!" The woman yelled and looked around the room before spotting Rias and practically teleporting over to her. "Oh! If only I had been awake sooner, I would have loved to have given you a hug. And where's the father?"

Rias stared in shock. "Wait, aren't you Runeas Gremory? The first generation Devil that was the founder of the Gremory clan?"

"Fufufufufufu!" The shorter woman giggled and stood proud with her hands on her hips. "That's right!" She did a small pirouette and winked while putting her fingers up to her face in a v-shape. "I'm back for a little while!" She blinked in surprise at the others all staring at her dumbfoundedly. "Oh, where are my manners, I..." She trailed off as she looked at Ranma, her pupils shrinking and she pointed at him with a shaky finger. "A...A...Azrael?! What are you doing here?! Where's my daughter!? Why aren't you with her?!"

"Azrael?!" Gabrial gasped in shock. "My big brother?!"

Ranma gawked at Runeas and then at Gabriel, who looked like she was about to cry and then at Lilith, who looked hopelessly confused. "Well, that at least answers one of my questions at least."

"Which one?" Lilith asked while most everyone was still looking shocked, well, everyone but Lillie, who was rolling dice and Rias, who was looking like she wanted something.

"I was wondering who Azrael was, when Jedah mentioned his name a few months ago when we beat him."

Azazel coughed into his hand, drawing attention his way, well, except for Gabriel, who was still looking lost. "My brother, Azrael, was the Archangel of Death for Father and was extremely loyal to Him. Really, I thought he had died during the war." He glanced at Gabriel, who was looking somewhat recovered, "the reason that Hades and his reapers took over harvesting souls after the war was over was because Azrael disappeared."

"Do you all really want to know?" Nabiki asked and everyone looked at her in surprise. "I've been holding off on telling anyone about this, but since I can look into the past, I thought it was time now."

"Hmm, sure why not?" Runeas smiled and sat down in a chair. "It might be fun to revisit the last time I saw him and my daughter." Everyone looked at her in surprise and she giggled. "I've slept a lot over the centuries, it kept me from going crazy, I guess that's why I have clear memories of that time and of him?"

"Probably," Azazel nodded as he sat back while Nabiki activated her Sacred Gear, 'how come I never realized that Ranma looks like Azrael? Then again, I've seen so many people with similar features to him that it would be just foolish to assume that they were Azrael... Or maybe..?'

Considering what Runeas had said, Azazel narrowed his eyes in thought, 'Ranma in his girl form looks a lot like Rias, and red hair like that is very uncommon in Japan, is it possible..?'

A large screen appeared in the room and it showed Azrael, a tall man with raven black hair done up in a loose ponytail, wearing a black robe with ten golden wings on his back while a young woman with a sizable chest, blue eyes and red hair stood behind him, trembling. Across from them was a familiar blue and purple Devil, who grinned at the Angel.

"Really, Azrael, I don't know why you're protecting her." Jedah smirked as he strolled forward. "I could make more use of that Gremory brat, so hand her over."

Azrael chuckled and a scythe formed in his hands. "Sorry, fiend, but I have my reasons for what I'm doing."

As the two charged and started to fight, Ranma frowned in confusion. "That's the scythe Jedah had, he said that he was the only one who could hold it, what did he..."

A tearing and squelching sound filled the air and the two backed off, Azrael falling to his knees and gasping in pain as he gripped at his right arm.

Jedah, who had several deep cuts on his body, chuckled as he walked forward. "And what will you do now, Archangel of Death?"

Azrael just smirked and stood up. "Really? You foolish Devil." He flexed his bloodied left hand as power pooled around him. "You know nothing. You lack the foresight to understand God's plan." Suddenly the sky was filled with arrows of light that lanced out at Jedah, who spent the next minute dodging, blocking or countering them.

Azrael turned and grabbed the girl he was with. "Quickly, with me."

"Yes." The girl smiled though she was gripping her head in pain. "Also, please don't say His name again, it hurts when you do so." Azrael looked at her and nodded as they ran away and the scene changed.

"Hold on, Nabiki," Azazel spoke up, "how did Jedah use that scythe? It's supposed to be something only a warrior of Heaven could use."

"...Good question." Nabiki muttered as she pushed some buttons and the screen focused back on Jedah, who was panting and grimacing with the holes in his body. "How did you do that?"

Jedah walked over to the scythe and grabbed it, crying out in pain as his hand burned from just touching the shaft. "What the..?" He stared, his eyes wide. "No wonder he wasn't worried about leaving it here, if I'd have this kind of reaction to it." Jedah stared at the arm, which was severed up to the elbow and then at his right hand. "...Yes, this could work, I think."

"What is he doing?" Akeno asked, frowning in confusion before gasping in surprise as Jedah extended the claw on his left hand and severed his right arm at the elbow. "He wouldn't..."

"...Are you telling me that Issei's crazy idea with Albion's power wasn't the first time it happened?" Azazel asked, staring in shock as Jedah grabbed Azrael's severed arm and then attached it to his right arm, causing him to scream in pain. "This is..."

"The fact that he can revive himself..." Lilith whispered in awe, "he knew that even if he couldn't survive this, he'd just come back to life later on."

Jedah was on his knees, his new arm spasming in pain as he dropped the scythe. "You think that this will work on me?!" Jedah yelled as he looked up at the sky and gripped his arm. "I can manipulate souls! I will overcome this! YOU WILL SEE, YOU WORTHLESS GOD! YOU WILL SEE!"

With a yell, power pooled around the newly attached arm before spinning around the arm, causing the newly-attached arm to come to resemble Jedah's other arm.

Jedah sat, panting for several minutes before he raised his right hand up and flexed the fingers several times. "Hahhaahahahahahahahaahaha!" He stood up, laughing even more. "TAKE THAT, WORLD!" He grinned as he looked at the sky. "See?! I can control even an Archangel's power!" Panting, he walked over to the scythe and reached down to touch it with his left hand, hissing as his fingers burned just touching it. "I still can't touch it?" Jedah asked and looked at his right hand before reaching out and grabbing it. He grimaced, obviously preparing for pain before blinking as he held the scythe with no problem.

After taking a few swings with the scythe, Jedah laughed and dismissed the scythe. "Yes! This world! This world..." He gripped his head and shook it. "Urgh, I need to rest and recover after this, I feel like my soul was almost split in half."

The screen turned off and several people were silent as they processed what they had just seen.

"...Big brother..." Gabriel whispered as she looked troubled. "Please, Nabiki, can you show me what happened to Azrael after that?"

Nabiki nodded and the screen lit up again, this time showing Azrael with a bloody stump that was wrapped in bandages, the same girl as before and Runeas Gremory standing in a forest.

"That's the best I can do for you, Azrael." Runeas smiled at him. "Are you sure about this? I know that you're extremely loyal to your father and doing this will hurt him."

Azrael smiled softly. "Lady Runeas, I..." He looked at the other girl and nodded. "I couldn't help but long for your daughter after I saw her. I loathed my brothers for lusting after human women, but I'm no better, huh?"

The other girl shook her head. "No! Just because your father forbids relationships for Angels, that doesn't make you wrong for how you feel."

Runeas sighed softly. "Go ahead." She turned her head as a soft golden light filled the air, revealing a golden-haired woman, who smiled at them. "Take good care of them for me, Amaterasu."

Azazel, Gabriel, Serafall, Ranma, Lilith and Rias all gasped in surprise as they stared at the woman with a sword.

She nodded to Runeas. "Yes, I shall protect them from your war, but in exchange..."

"I know," Runeas nodded and sighed softly, "I won't be able to see my daughter or her descendants ever again." She turned away from the Japanese Sun Goddess and looked up at the sky. "The only reason I'm doing this is because I love my daughter so much." She gave Azrael a glare, "if you don't take care of her, I'll personally find you and tear you apart, agreement be damned."

"Of course." Azrael nodded as he and Runeas's daughter disappeared with Amaterasu.

The screen turned dark after that and Nabiki smiled weakly. "Sorry, I tried looking ahead, but I think Amaterasu had some sort of block in place that prevents scrying on him, preventing me from looking."

"It's fine." Gabriel smiled at Nabiki, "just knowing my brother was still alive, it's more than I could have hoped for."

Ranma frowned in confusion and stood up. "So, if Jedah had his scythe and no one should be able to hold it..." Suddenly the scythe that had been in the video appeared in Ranma's hands. "How the heck can I hold it?"

"Oh, that's simple!" Runeas smiled while holding up a finger and winking. "If you think about it, logically, grandson, you should be able to figure it out."

"...Master... You're descended from Azrael..." Lilith muttered softly. "...Wait, that means that you and Rias are cousins!"

"That WOULD explain why your female form looks so much like Rias, other than being shorter." Akeno said softly. "Wow, descended from the Gremory family and the Archangel of Death, you sure do have a crazy bloodline there."

Ranma chuckled and rubbed the back of his head with his free hand. "I guess so. Kind of weird if I think about it too much." Ranma looked at Rias, who was looking introspective.

"...I propositioned my cousin for sex." Rias said, gasping slightly before looking up and smiling at Ranma. "Thanks for actually turning me down."

Lilith gave Ranma a weird look. "Master, are you okay? You didn't fuck your incredibly hot and sexy cousin?"

Ranma gave her an annoyed look. "Yeah, I turned her down. I could tell, even back then, that she had the hots for Issei and you know I'm not into cucking anyone if I can help it."

"Oh, good point." Lilith nodded and looked at the scythe. "So what are you going to do with that?"

"About that." Gabriel smiled at Ranma. "May I have it? I'd like to return it to Heaven." Ranma nodded and walked over to her, handing it to her. "And, I'd like to talk to you in private before I go back." She smiled and made the scythe disappear.

"Sure." Ranma said. He looked at Runeas curiously. "How come you were willing to let your daughter go with someone who was your sworn enemy?"

"She didn't like fighting and I tried to keep her safe." Runeas told him with a soft sigh. "Azrael saved her life and I could tell he was smitten with her. I actually met with him in private and the two of us came up with a plan so that he and my daughter could disappear from the war."

"...I see." Ranma nodded, knowing what the plan was from what Nabiki showed them.

"So, does anyone else have any Earth-shattering revelations before the day is over?" Azazel asked. "Anyone want to reveal that they're secretly Cthulhu's love child? Or perhaps someone is an alien?"

"Nah, I know some, but I don't think anyone here is an alien." Ranma waved his hand and ignored the looks he was getting as he walked back over to Lilith.

"Well, I might have one." Falbium said as he walked over to where Ranma was and put the box down. "This is a gift from the Asmodeus clan to you." Ranma blinked in surprise. "See, apparently the late Asmodeus left this behind and had a seal on it that no one can unlock. Even I can't, and what's left of the clan decided to trust it with you, since you have part of Lord Asmodeus's soul bonded to you. If you can't open it, then no one can."

Ranma shrugged and put his hand on the center of the top of the box. "So, should I just pour magic power into this and, bwah?!"

The box started to glow and shake, causing Ranma to step back as the top slid apart, glowing brightly.

"AH! After so many years I'm free!" A female voice cackled from the box as it opened up. "It's time to conquer some booty!"

"Huh?" Serafall and Gabriel both asked at the same time.

Standing in the box was a miniature girl with bronzed-colored skin who was wearing a red and black dress that hugged her body. She had decent sized boobs for her size. She had purple eyes and hair that was mostly green with red and purple stripes in it.

Azazel tilted his head and realized that the girl in the box was around thirty centimeters tall, maybe a little taller. "Who in the world are you?"

The girl turned to look at Azazel and grinned while standing tall. "Don't you recognize me, Azazel? It it I! The Great Devil King Asmodeus in the flesh!"

"HUH?!" More than one person yelled in shock as they stared at the mini-girl, who not only giggled, but puffed her chest out in pride.

End Chapter 2

Dun, dun, duuuunn!

Lots of stuff was revealed, huh? And yes, Runeas is Rias's canonical ancestor. And yes, a pregnant Rias was fun to write.
