Chapter 11
Serafall was many things. Slightly crazy, silly, powerful and dangerous to anyone she deemed to be an enemy. She wasn't, however, heartless. And seeing Gabriel kneeling and praying in the center of the room with tears falling from her eyes freely caused her to sigh and walk over to the Angel. "Just so you know..." She said as she put a hand on Gabriel's shoulder, "you're being a bother to our hosts."
"I know, but..." Gabriel shuddered and Serafall sighed softly.
It was a couple of minutes later that Serafall spoke again. "I have a younger sister." She said softly while Gabriel looked at her in confusion. "So I know how it is to care deeply about a sibling." Some would say that Serafall was too close to Sona and Serafall knew it wasn't like that. While she enjoyed the thought of seducing Sona and having her sister with her, that was because she wanted to protect her sister from the world and its threats. "If something happened to So-tan," a black aura surrounded her, "I don't care who it is, I would see them suffer in ways that most people alive today can't imagine. And even then, I wouldn't let them die, I would sink their bodies into Cocytus where their soul would be frozen for the rest of time."
As the aura dissipated, Gabriel gave her a small smile and turned back to the center of the shrine. "...I want to thank you, for trying to comfort me."
Serafall shifted and turned away with a huff. "Well, I can't have my rival being all sad and depressed, can I?" She stood up and started to walk off. "You should probably be thankful that he didn't take you with him." Serafall said as she looked back at Gabriel, who gave her a confused look. "If you had, I wouldn't have a rival."
Gabriel chuckled softly. "Perhaps I should start treating you like my rival then?" She asked, though her words had no heat in them. "...I would have given up everything for him. Even my position in Heaven."
Serafall gave her another look and shook her head. "What good would that have been?" She turned and walked out of the room and to the city outside. "Heaven would be worse off without you there." She left Gabriel staring at her in shock.
As she got outside, Serafall walked away from the shrine as she tried to clear her head. "Why am I helping her?" She had always fantasized about defeating Gabriel and proving herself to be the most powerful and beautiful female of the three great powers. Serafall narrowed her eyes as the look of pure anguish on Gabriel's face upon hearing what happened to her beloved brother and sighed. '...If something like that happened to So-tan, I'd be no different, would I?'
Maybe that was why she felt an urge to help Gabriel out.

Elsewhere...
Atsuko, Nabiki and Lillie all walked through the streets of Kyoto. "So, what do you think about all of this?" Nabiki asked Atsuko.
"I don't care." Atsuko said with her hands held up behind her head. "I mean, so what if Ranma has some crazy weird heritage, I was a cat until I was hit by a car, then I was a robot girl, now I'm a Devil Cyborg with a brain that has a cat brain that was evolved by Devil magic and nanotechnology. Ranma is Ranma, Nuku is Nuku and Lilith has big boobs."
Nabiki laughed and nodded. "Yeah, that's true. So are you moving to Makai?"
"Not any time soon." Atsuko shook her head. "There's stuff I want to do here on Earth still." She looked down at Lillie while putting her hands on her thighs and leaning forward. "You're pretty quiet, aren't you?"
Lillie looked up at her and nodded.
"I kind of wish you'd talk more." Atsuko said as she reached up and scratched the back of her head.
"I can." Lillie said and Atsuko jerked in surprise. Even Nabiki was floored. Lillie's voice was soft and quiet, yet for some reason, they could hear it despite the background noise that was going on. "I do not like speaking though. It's loud."
"Then why do you like Ranma? He's super loud." Nabiki asked her.
"...I like him." Lillie told her. "I like the others with Ranma too. They're fun." The ponytailed girl walked forward a few feet before stopping. "...Ranma wants me to live like a normal girl. I like that." She tugged at her shirt. "...I don't like these."
"Please don't take them off." Both Nabiki and Atsuko said at the same time.
Lillie looked at them and nodded. "Only at home."
Atsuko and Nabiki both nodded before pausing and giving each other a worried look. "Do you think she runs around naked?" Atsuko asked Nabiki.
"In Makai? Maybe, but I haven't looked over there." Nabiki answered her. "Then again, who's going to arrest anyone for a naked girl running around?" Both Nabiki and Atsuko looked at each other and sweat-dropped heavily. "...Great, I foresee a bunch of Demon police appearing in the future and kicking doors down randomly."
"You mean like American police forces?" Atsuko asked and sweat-dropped. "...You know, I can connect to the internet and I've seen lots of stories of police being evil over there. You think they're being controlled by Demons?"
"...That wouldn't surprise me." Nabiki muttered and shook her head. "I've not looked into other parts of the world, but I probably should start." The idea of government or police forces around the world being controlled by Demons or the Old Satan Faction was terrifying in multiple ways.
"...Maybe we should do that?" Atsuko muttered. "I mean, controlling a city so Demons and Devils can live there peacefully."
"...Well," Nabiki thought about it, "maybe in the future. But it's a pain in the ass, I think. Besides," she gave Atsuko a side glance, "a good chunk of humanity thinks that Demons, Devils, Angels and Gods are fake. Besides, cities where the supernatural can coexist with humans... Not a bad idea." Nabiki crossed her arms behind her head and looked up at the sky. "But that's quite a ways off, isn't it?"
"Well, it's not like we're constrained by time." Atsuko said with a nod and a smile as she looked up as well. "After all, we're Devils."

It was late at night when Ranma walked out of Yasaka's private room, his hair dripping with some water after cleaning himself up. Rubbing his head with a towel, Ranma paused as he saw Gabriel sitting with her knees pulled up and her head resting on them. With the way her eyes were closed and how she was breathing, he could tell she was asleep. He looked around the room and saw Serafall curled up on a small couch, sleeping as well and he shook his head before walking over to Serafall and picking her up. She moaned and shifted in her sleep and Ranma found her slipping out of his hands before he used some barriers to steady her body and shook his head before walking over to Gabriel and shifting Serafall so that he was holding her in his left arm, he reached under the sleeping Angel and picked her up in his right arm. Again, he used some barriers to hold her in place so she didn't fall out.
Carrying the two of them wasn't too hard, the hard part was that they were asleep and not able to consciously help him adjust so they didn't fall.
Sighing softly, Ranma made his way down the hallway of the shrine and nodded at a guard, who opened a guest room up. After getting inside, Ranma walked to the bed and somehow put the two sleeping women on the bed at the same time before laying down between them. When both Gabriel and Serafall rolled over to hug him in their sleep, he just mentally chuckled and closed his eyes. With Yasaka using Lilith as a body pillow, he knew he didn't have to worry about them.
'Besides, this is nice.' He thought to himself as the two women cuddled his side. He cracked an eye open and reached down on Serafall, giving her butt a small squeeze. 'You were looking after her, huh?' He knew that couldn't have been easy for her and an idea came to him. 'I guess I'll head out in the morning, huh?'

It was early in the morning, the sun was just starting to creep over the horizon and most people were still sleeping.
That didn't stop loud noises coming from the head shrine in Kyoto. "EH?!" More than one person gasped at once when Ranma made his announcement. Behind him Serafall was blushing and looking away while Gabriel was blushing hard.
'How did we end up rolling around in our sleep?' Serafall asked herself, her face turning redder by the moment. 'And how did my head end up between Gabriel's boobs?!'
Serafall didn't want to admit it, but Gabriel's breasts had been the most comfortable pillow that she had ever slept on.
Gabriel was blushing hard and trying not to look at anyone. 'I shared a bed with two other people last night. I...'
Ignoring the concerns of the others, Ranma nodded. "Yeah, I need to go see someone I haven't seen in years." He reached into his pocket and pulled out Asmodeus, who merely smiled at everyone. "Because I need some help with her."
Nabiki, who was only awake because of the coffee in front of her, stared blearily at Ranma before drinking some more of her coffee. "Huh, that's odd." The only reason she was even up was because Ranma had made her wake up on threat of being tossed out of the bed she had been in bare naked.
"And I need Lilith to help give me directions, I kind of forgot the layout of the city." Ranma looked at Lilith, who nodded.
"I could just tell you." Nabiki told Ranma, who nodded. "So..."
"I haven't been there in five years." Ranma told her, "it would be more fun to explore and see how the city's changed." He then looked at the blushing Serafall. "And Serafall, do you want to meet some magical girls?"
Like a switch, Serafall's blush disappeared as her eyes sparkled. "Really?!"
Ranma nodded as Serafall grabbed his hands and jumped up and down. "Yeah. Trust me, you'll love these girls." He looked back at Yasaka and Kunou and then looked at Gabriel and Serafall. "Actually, I was wondering if you two could help me with another thing?" Both Serafall and Gabriel had confused looks on their faces but nodded. "The very atmosphere of Makai is dangerous to most Youkai, it makes them turn into Demons. Nabiki already confirmed that if the atmosphere was changed to be safer for Youkai and humans that it wouldn't hurt the Demons. Plus I'd like the magic of Makai to be safe for Youkai."
"I don't have a problem with making a dangerous place safer for people to live," Gabriel told him, "but why?"
"Well, I can't expect my wife, daughter and unborn children to not be able to live with me and stay a family, can I?"
Serafall sighed and crossed her arms. "While I can get you the materials needed for such a project and even the spells needed, I can't do it for free."
Ranma nodded. "Right, something this big I wasn't planning on doing for free anyway. Nabiki, you can work out the details of the contract, right?" He turned to look at her and she smirked.
"Who do you think I am? Of course I can." Nabiki smirked. "But where are you going anyway?"
"Uminari City." Ranma told her.
End Chapter 11
Thanks, Asmodeus, because of you, I get to bring in a series that was mentioned before but only as a reference. Now for a full crossover.
The next 5 chapters will be flashback chapters.
