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

If only I did.

Chapter 5

It was nearly thirty minutes later when Ranma, back in his male form, and Gabriel, who had washed up walked back into the normal club room. While Gabriel's eyes were a little red, she was mostly recovered by that time.

When they got inside, Ranma and Gabriel both had identically confused looks on their faces as Lilith sat in the middle of the room with an amused expression on her face while shadow tentacles were coming out of the ground and were juggling Leonardo, Ophis, Lillie, Gasper and Koneko. Another batch of tentacles were holding Rias up while some were wrapped around Rias's bare feet and squeezing. "...Lilith, what the heck is going on?"

Lilith looked at him and grinned. "I was getting annoyed by the kids, so I thought to use shadow tentacles and show them my juggling abilites and Rias wanted her feet rubbed."

"So that's why her arms, legs and breasts are surrounded by those tentacles?" Gabriel asked in confusion.

"Nah, I just wanted to squeeze those parts of her." Lilith giggled as she lowered everyone to the ground.

"So..." Ranma looked around and paused, "wait, where's everyone else?"

"Food run." Rias said as Runeas walked over and helped her to her feet. "I wanted food and Lady Leviathan said she was hungry too, so..."

"Ah, that makes sense." Ranma nodded as the door opened up and Ranma turned to see Issei and Irina walk in with a few pizza boxes. "Oi! Issei!"

"You!" Issei yelled as he put the boxes down on a nearby chair. "How dare you get the sexy Devil King pregnant?!"

Ranma sweat-dropped heavily. "Issei, Serafall and I have been lovers for awhile now. She wanted a baby, and I had no problem with it."

Issei growled and pointed at Ranma. "Do you even know how much work it is to raise kids?!"

Ranma was about to answer and tilted his head. "You've been getting lectures from Rias's parents and brother, haven't you?" Issei sighed and hung his head, nodding. "Well, I can't stay that I do, but then again, does anyone who's never had kids before?"

"No, no, he's got a point." Another voice spoke up and Ranma turned around, staring in surprise as he saw Asmodeus pinned against the wall...

...While upside down...

...And both her arms and legs spread so she looked like an "X".

Asmodeus smiled with a wide open smile. "Hi! Can you be a good boy and get your mother-in-law down? Everything feels funny."

"No one trusted her while they went to get food and I'm on babysitting and pregnant Rias duty." Lilith said with a tight grin. "Anyway," she walked over to Ranma and put her hands on his shoulder, "master, before you let her down, you need to do to her what we did years ago."

Ranma looked confused for a moment before his eyes widened. "...Are you sure it would work? I mean, isn't that an artificial body and only part of her?"

Asmodeus sighed from where she was upside down. "Even if I have only part of myself, I'd still be bound by the terms of a soul-binding contract. It would be more of a geas contract for me than actually linking me to you like how you and my daughter are linked." She gave Ranma a contemplative look and nodded. "Fine, I'll do it, can I ask for a couple of concessions from you?"

"You're in no position to ask for anything." Gabriel told Asmodeus, who nodded.

"These are simple requests, sister. I'm not going to ask for anything like being able to run around and seduce children or anything like that, okay?" Asmodeus gave Gabriel an annoyed look.

Ranma grabbed Gabriel's shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze, which caused Gabriel to blush. "I won't say I'll agree, but I'll listen to your requests."

"Yay!" Asmodeus cheered. "One, I want to know what it's like to have tentacles ravage me. Find me some that won't tear me apart and let me have fun with them." She giggled at the stares she got. "Did you all forget that I'm the former Great Devil King of Lust? If it can move, I want to fuck it." She suddenly growled. "Darn horny Egyptian Cat Goddess banging animals before me!"

"You mean Bastet?" Ranma asked and Asmodeus nodded her head several times. "...That was CENTURIES ago though."

"I WANTED TO BE FIRST!" Asmodeus yelled before taking a deep breath to calm herself down. "Okay, the second thing is that I want some freedom of movement."

"Rejected." Both Lilith and Gabriel said at the same time.

"I don't mean traveling wherever I want!" Asmodeus shot back. "I knew that was out of the question, I just mean I don't want to have to be around him every second of every day."

"Oh." Ranma waved her off. "I have a castle, you can use that, but you can't leave unless I do."

"Fair enough." Asmodeus nodded. "The last thing that I ask is that you don't torture me." She smiled nervously. "Despite what my reputation might have led you to believe, I'm actually not into pain as a way to get off." Everyone gave her a flat stare of disbelief and her eyes went white and blank. "It's true! I liked sex and would try anything once, but I don't like getting whipped, or hot wax or enemas or other weird things! I know all the positions, but I like the more basic stuff, okay?"

"And yet you want to be tentacled?" Lilith asked the miniature girl.

"I just want to know what it's like to have tentacles buried in me!"

Ranma sighed and nodded as he walked up to the miniature girl. "Only if you agree to never betray me, my family or my friends."

Asmodeus smiled at him. "Sure! I can be a good girl!"

Ranma nodded at her. "Alright then, let's start."

Carrying several boxes of food, Asia, Irina and Azazel, walked into the clubroom. "Oh?" Azazel blinked as he saw Asmodeus sitting on the desk with a contemplative look on her face. "You're freed?"

"Well, Master was kind enough to let me down and, bwah?!" Asmodeus suddenly had her eyes tear up as she looked at Ranma, "do I have to call you that?!"

"Compulsion of the soul binding, I'm afraid." Ranma answered her.

"You get used to it." Lilith smirked at the miniature girl. "Meaning if Master orders you to walk out in snow bare naked, you have to do it."

Asmodeus sighed and crossed her arms, sighing softly. "I get it, I'm his slave, I know how this stuff works."

"Oooh!" Rias suddenly sat up, "is that food for me?!"

"Not all of it." Azazel told her and walked over with a box in his hands, "just for you, some chocolate-strawberry donuts covered in maple syrup."

"Yummy!" Rias threw her hands in the air as she cheered.

Issei sweat-dropped and looked at Runeas, who was smiling at the scene. "Did you..."

"Go through this?" Runeas grinned. "Oh, not QUITE this bad. I merely wanted to eat my weight in cake. And then I wanted to ride one of my cute camels until..." She trailed off as Rias suddenly let out a scream and jumped back, trembling. "...Rias?"

"Camels are scary and evil and mean and they want to eat me!" Rias yelled while shaking and holding her knees up to her chest. "No! No eating me! I'm sorry!" She looked up as someone touched her and saw Issei smiling at her. She suddenly hugged him, crying loudly.

A few moments later, Akeno and Xenovia walked into the room. "...Who triggered her kamilaphobia?" Akeno asked, getting more than a few confused looks from people. "Ah. Rias was traumatized by camels when she was little. She thought they were silly looking and teased one who not only spit on her, but bit her hand. Ever since then, she's had an extreme fear of camels, which is kamilaphobia."

Ranma looked at Rias, who was openly crying. "Rias, no matter what anyone says, it's perfectly normal to be terrified of scary demon animals." Suddenly Rias was in front of Ranma, grabbing his hand while her eyes sparkled.

"You understand where I'm coming from?"

Ranma nodded as he squeezed her hand back. "Yes, evil demon cats tried to kill me when I was a child."

Asia walked up to Asmodeus. "Um, Lady..."

"You don't need to use honorifics for me." Asmodeus said to the blonde and smiled at her. "I'm no longer a Devil King, just call me Asmodeus then."

Asia nodded. "Okay, um, Miss Asmodeus, you were one of the Angels that underwent a ritual to become a Devil along with seventy-two human families, right?"

Asmodeus nodded at her. "Yeah, that's right."

"But," Asia frowned in confusion, "I've read many of the Church's records, there's no Angel that was ever mentioned in Heaven with the name Asmodeus." Asmodeus had a neutral expression as Asia continued on, "were you one of the humans who made a pact with Lucifer and became a Devil King?"

"Nope, I was an Angel before the Damnation ritual." Asmodeus said while shaking her head. "In fact, I remember Runeas being there on the day when Lucy offered her and the other humans great fortune."

"Yeah!" Runeas nodded, "I was there that night and I distinctly remember four male Fallen Angels who undertook that ritual."

Azazel looked at Gabriel, who was looking troubled, "and besides that," he looked at Asmodeus, "I also don't recall any Angel by the name of Asmodeus."

Asmodeus sighed and stood up. "It's because I wanted to hide who I was. See, I saw Father's first humans and saw them and other animals mating and I was curious and watched over humanity while they grew. When you and our other brothers and sisters all went to Earth to bed humans, I was enthralled." A small smile came to her face as she remembered the things she had witnessed. "I wanted, no, I needed to know why it was so important for humans to copulate as often as they did." She sighed as her smile faded away, "Lucifer knew that and convinced me to follow him. Yeah, I was mad at Father for making that stuff forbidden to Angels, but I didn't want to fight a war over it. I just wanted to show Him that sex had to be something that was lovely and wonderful." She sighed. "As for who I was, only Lucifer and Father knew this about me, but I could freely shapeshift between male and female forms." A lewd grin came to her face, "Lucifer was like "hey, don't you want to know what it's like to use a penis and have sex with a woman?" and I jumped on it."

"So, who were you then?" Gabriel asked her. "I would like to know who you really were."

Asmodeus pursed her lips and nodded. "Hold on, I need..." She held out her hand and a croquet mallet appeared in her hands. "And now..."

A flash of light covered her and when it faded both Azazel and Gabriel stared in absolute shock.

Standing on the table was a girl in a white dress, light brown hair, purple eyes with stars for pupils on her face. "Hi!" Her voice was super high pitched and bubbly. "My name is Miniel, the Angel that induces love to everyone in the world!" She tilted her body and put the hammer over her shoulder while putting her left middle and index fingers up in a "V" shape while winking at everyone.

"The Angel of Love became the Devil of Lust." Azazel whispered softly. "...That's..."

Asmodeus returned to her normal form and sighed as she dismissed her hammer. "I decided that when I left Father's service that I couldn't be the Angel of Love anymore and Lucifer suggested that I become Lust, since it was the sinful version of Love." She shrugged and sat down. "That's it, that's all. Anything more, Master?"

"Master..." Lilith spoke up and looked at Ranma. "I need to go with Gabriel to Heaven." She looked at the blonde woman, "that is, if she wants to have the system that her Father left behind to be turned back online or not."

Gabriel stared at her in surprise. "...What are you going to do?"

"Mostly turn it back on so Heaven can do miracles again and make some small changes." Lilith held up a hand, "don't worry, I'm not doing anything crazy. It's just..." She looked at Irina, who had been silent for a long time, "when Irina was influenced by those tentacles, she nearly became a Fallen Angel and the thought of her becoming a Fallen because of something that she couldn't control made me so mad. Nabiki and I worked out a list of changes to help Heaven out. Don't worry, we kept things to be in line with what your followers are taught."

"But it might..." Gabriel looked hesitant and Lilith shook her head.

"...Nabiki will help me make sure that the system in place is fully working properly." Lilith told her. "In the end, I leave it up to you, but if you agree, it'll go a long way to fix a lot of issues that Heaven is having with less and less people believing." Lilith gave Gabriel a serious look. "The questions for you is one, do you trust me and two, do you want to try this?"

"I..." Gabriel bit her lip.

"How about I make it easier for you?" Ranma asked and Gabriel looked at him. "Lilith Aensland, as your master, I command you," Lilith suddenly stiffened as she started to glow, "you will not do anything that would sabotage Heaven, turn the Angels into Fallen Angels or cause harm to any followers of Heaven."

The glowing ended and Lilith nodded at him. "Yes, Master." She fell to her one knee and bowed to him. "I promise you, that I will only cause the system to reboot and any changes that I do to the commands of the system will be to help Heaven out and be in line with their own teachings."

Ranma looked at Gabriel. "I don't like using that on her, is that okay?"

Gabriel nodded and smiled at him. "Thank you." She walked over to Lilith and reached out with her hand. "Then let us go."

"I'll go with." Nabiki said as she walked up to them. "That way I can keep an eye on anything that needs immediate attention."

"Very well." Gabriel nodded and looked at Irina. "Are you coming with?"

"Yes." Irina nodded and walked over to the four as they disappeared in a flash of light.

"...So that's what it's like when you force your will on someone." Asmodeus muttered softly. "...I don't know why, but that was hot and I wish that I was three times my current size so you could fuck me right now."

A splash of cold water was the only answer she got.

End Chapter 5

Asmodeus is kind of fun to write.
