Chapter Six:

The first to act was Issei and Marcus who each unleashed a...

"Dragon Shot!", they both shouted as they fired their attacks at Kokabiel only for him to smoothly diodge the attacks before he knocked the two of them away with a a roundhouse kick.

Next was Terra, Motohama, and Akia who began to unleash a volley of attack spells at Kokabiel only for him to hit them with a pulse attack kocking them back a good thirty feet. Gasper tried to freeze Kokabiel in place, but the Cadre was too strong as he looked at the young Dhampir with a smirk.

"Nice try, kid.", Kokabiel said before smacking Gasper back with the back of his hand.

Next up was Akeno who blasted him with a powerful lightning bolt followed by Allen, Tosca, Murayama, Katase, Kiba, Jeane, Xenovia, and Irina who charged at Kokabiel only for him to hit them all with a light wave that sent them flying. Rias tried to hit him with a orb of destruction only form him to swat the attack away just as Mittelt tried to attack him with her light spears that Kokabiel blocked with a barrier. Seeing this, Issei and Marcus got to their feet knowing what they had to do.

"Balance Breaker!", Issei shouted as his scale mail formed over his body as he was ready to continue.

As for Marcus, he began to focus his aura and channeled his power. As he did this, he began to grow in height and mass as he shoulders began go to grow more broad. Marcus' skin began to turn red in some areas while other parts started to turn a shade of white. Mainly in the chest. As he was changing, a magic circle began to form under Marcus. It was then that his outfit change while he was transforming. Once he was done, Marcas was a tall Humanoid dragon hybrid type of creature. He was a good ten feet tall with reptilian like eyes. The right eye was blue while his left eye was green. His scales were mostly red except for his chest where his scales were white. He also had large red wings that were red with shades of white at the top and bottom of the wings while his long tail was mostly red with white blotches. As for clothes, he was only dressed in a pair of black pants with silver bracers around his wrist and a brown leather battle harness. Letting out a mighty roar, Kokabiel knew that he was in for a real fight.

"Now this is what I'm talking about!", Kokabiel said with a smile. "Come at me, boys! So me what you've got!"

"You heard the old man!", Marcus said as he flew towards Kokabiel.

"Let's do this, Ddriag!", Issei said as he flew at Kokabiel also.

[Finally! A powerful enemy!] Ddriag shouted ready for battle.

Boost!x5!

With the boost he had, Issei prepared to fire a Dragon Shot only for Kokabiel to fly out of the way. But he was cut off by Marcus who hit hi with an axe kick send in g down to the ground. Kokabiel was able to stop his decent only to get hit by...

"Dragon Shot!", Issei shouted firing his attack at Kokabiel knocking him out of the sky and crashing to the ground.

"No way he's beaten that easily.", Allen said.

"No bad.", Kokabiel said as he stood up while dusting off his clothes. "But now there'll be no more holding back!", he said with a smirk as he took to the sky while forming multiple light spears.

Once high enough in the air, Kokabiel sent the light spears flying down at everyone who began to dodge the spears as best they could. Mainly the Gremory Peerage were the most vulnerable to the light spears. Lucky for them, Terra and Asia were able to put up a barrier to protect everyone. Seeing this, Matsuda wish he was powerful enough to do what they were doing.

'I have to get stronger!', Matsuda thought to himself as he looked at his Sacred Gear. 'I must get stronger.', he thought as he clenched his fist in frustration.

Once the attack was finished, Issei and Marcus flew into action! Seeing them coming, Kokabiel sends two light spear at them only for Akenp to hit one with a lightning bolt followed by Rias hitting the other one with an orb of destruction allowing Marcus to hit Kokabiel with a hard right.

Boost!x10!

Issei then struck Kokabiel with an hard left knocking him back only for Kokabiel to form a light sword ad slash at Issei damaging his armor knocking him back. It was then that Mittelt came at Kokabiel with her light spears and sent them at Kokabiel hitting his arms and legs followed by Akeno striking him with another lightning bolt hitting the spears causing Kokabiel to grunt in pain before Mittelt recalled her spears.

"Blast you brats!", Kokabiel snapped as he hovered in the air. "I'll end you all!", he said as he healed himself.

"We better end this!", Marcus said.

"Agreed!", Issei said.

[Whatever you're going to do, make it count!] Ddriag said as Kokabiel was ready to fight.

"Time to die and start another war!", Kokabiel shouted as he flew at them.

"Time to go all out!", Marcus said as he and Issei flew at Kokabiel.

Boost!x5!

With his boost, Issei flew at Kokabiel who swung at him only for Issei to grab his arm while Marcus grabbed his other arm and they flew down to the ground with Kokabiel in tow. Surprised by this, Kokabiel tried get free only to get slammed to the ground by the two boys.

"Nice move, but it'll take more than that to defeat me!", Kokabiel laughed as he got to his feet.

But before he could do anything else Allen, Irina, and Jeane dashed at him and slashed at Kokabiel cutting him deep with their blades followed by Akia who fired a an exploding arrow at Kokabiel. But before the arrow hit him, Motohama used a multiple spell on it making multiple arrows that Kuroka and Shirone infused with senjutsu fire making them stronger as they hit Kokabiel blasting him with multiple explosions causing him to cry out in a bit of pain.

"Why you little...", Kokabiel snapped only to get attacked by Kiba and Tosca who hit him with a "X" slash attack followed by Xenovia who also did an "X" slash with her Durandal and Excalibur Destruction dealing heavy damage to Kokabiel. "Argh!", Kokabiel yelled from the pain as he stumbled back only to get hit by Rias' strongest orb of destruction dealing even more damage to Kokabiel

Now up in the air, Mittelt combined her four light spears into one long light spear and threw it down at Kokabiel after he was attacked by Xenovia and threw it to Marcus who knew what to do as he flew down at Kokabiel. As for Kokabiel he had gathered himself and ws ready to fight back when...

"If you think that will stop me, you've got another thing... Huh?!", Kokabiel questioned as he looked up to see Marcus coming at him.

Before he could make a move, Kokabiel was run through by Marcus and Mittelt's super light spear pinning him to the ground.

"Ready?", Terra asked Akeno.

"Ready!", Akeno said as she and Terra combined their powers and formed two over lapping magic circles.

They then unleashed a powerful lightning bolt down at Kokabiel. The bolt hit the light spear that was pinning Kokabiel down causing the lightning to flow in his body making the attack worse for him as he cries put in pain. Seeing this, Issei and Marcus fly down a Kokabiel and.

Boost!x50!

"Dragon Shot!", they both yelled as they fired their attacks at the pinned Kokabiel letting off an explosion that set off a shock-wave that knocked the others back along with kicking up a cloud of dust while Issei and Marcus landed a few feet from where the dust cloud was.

"That was tiring!", Issei said in between breaths. "By the way, I noticed how you were able to get boost of strength before each attack while Kokabiel was getting a bit weaker. Care to explain that?'

"Well..."

Marcus was cut off when he suddenly felt Kokabiel's aura suddenly rise before he flew out towards them! Before they could freact, Kokabiel grabbed Issei by the throat with his right hand before kicking Marcus to the ground followed by holding down with his left foot on his chest keeping him pinned to the ground.

"Marcus!", Akeno cried out.

"Issei!", Irina cried out.

Before anyone could do anything, Kokabiel used his free hand to hit everyone else with a powerful light wave knocking them all back stunning them with a smirk.

"As fun as this was, it's time to end this!", Kokabiel said as he looked down at Marcus. "Any last words, boy?!"

"Actually, I have a question.", Marcus said as a smirk formed on his face. "How's it going, Uncle Baraqiel?"

Letting out a sigh, Kokabiel knew he was defeated as he felt some familiar auras suddenly show up.

"Hello, Baraqiel.", Kokabiel said to the fellow Cadre that was now standing behind him.

"Kokabiel.", Baraqiel said calmly as he was giving Kokabiel a stern look. "Can you kindly remove you foot from young Marcus as well as let go of the Red Dragon Emperor.", he said just as Marcus' parents, Lucas Doragon and Zalena Jones landed in front of Kokabiel.

"Hey, mom. Hey, dad.", Marcus said.

"Well crap.", Kokabiel said with a sigh as he let Issei go while removing his foot off of Marcus. "Lucas. Zalena.", he said as Marcus got to his feet.

"Kokabiel.", Zalena said as she narrowed her eyes at Kokabiel. "I'd hit you, but you've got somewhere to be right now."

"And which of you will be my escort to Azazel?", Kokabiel asked as another figure landed a few feet away. "Figures it be her."

The person was a female with fair skin and had light blue eyes and long light silver hair that went down to her rear. She was dressed in a dark green V-neck shirt that showed off her cleavage, with a high collared black leather jacket with burgundy jeans that had a silver chain drooping down over them and black leather chaps with three bands encircling her right calf and black shoes that had black buckles. At her back was the Sacred Gear, Divine Divider.

"Wow! Looks like I missed all the fun.", the girl said as she walked up to the group. "What's up, Marcus?"

"Hey, Vali.", Marcus said. "You here for Kokabiel?"

"Yep!", Vali said before looking at Issei. "So you're the Red Dragon Emperor, huh?"

"Yeah.", Issei said with a raised eyebrow. "And you are?"

"The name's Vali Albion.", Vali said. "The White Dragon Empress."

[Albion.] Ddriag said to his rival.

[Ddriag.] Albion said back. [It's been a while.]

[Indeed it has.] Ddriag said.

[Our time will come.] Albion said. [But not today.]

[Fair enough.] Ddriag said in agreement.

"Who's that?", Rias asked.

"That would be Vali.", a female voice said. "The White Dragon Empress.", the female said getting Akeno's attention as she turned to see that it was...

"Mother!", Akeno said as she hugged her mother happy to see her,

"Hello, Akeno dear.", Shuri Himejima said as she hugged her daughter.

"Fancy meeting you here.", Terra joked getting a grin from Shuri.

"We would have been here sooner, but our mission ran into a few... snags.", Shuri said.

"I'm just glad you all made it in time.", Allen said.

"Okay, Kokabiel. Time to go see Azazel.", Vali said as she placed a hand on Kokabiel's shoulder.

Divide!x50!

Saying nothing Kokabiel stood there as he felt his power weaken knowing he wasn't going to get away.

"One question, Kokabiel.", Marcus said. "Who was the devil that wanted Asia?"

"All I'll say is this.", Kokabiel said with a smirk. "They're one of the six."

"What?!", Rias questioned surprised by what Kokabiel said.

"Later.", Vali said as she before she kissed Marcus on the cheek.

Vali then made a magic circle and teleported away with Kokabiel leaving everyone a bit confused as the barrier, the Sitri Peerage had p was lowering.

"Okay, Gremory. Who are the six Kokabiel was talking about?", Marcus asked just as Sona came walking up to them with her peerage.

"The six are the six strongest youths of our generation.", Rias explained. "Each are high class and has their own peerage."

"And I take it that you and Sitri are two of those youths?", Allen asked getting a nod from Rias and Sona.

"But I promise you that Sona nor I had anything to do with what happened to Asia!", Rias said.

"I hope that is true.", Baraqiel said. "Otherwise, I'd have to give you another round of what I did the last time you pulled one of you little... stunts.", he said with a smirk causing Rias to step back while covering her rear getting giggle from Akeno, Shuri, and Zalena and a snicker from Marcus and Lucas knowing what Baraqiel was talking about.

"Did I miss something?", Xenovia asked as Marcus transforms back to normal.

"Long story.", Marcus said as suddenly multiple red and blue magic circles appeared around the area.

From one of the red magic cifrcle appeared Sirzechs and his wife, Grayfia while from one of the blue magioc circles appeared one Serafall Leviathan. As for the other magic circles, others appeared ready to fight Kokabiel's forces yet saw that they were gone.

"Is everyone okay?!", Sirzechs asked.

"SONA!", Serafall cried out as she ran up to her sister hugging her. "Are you alright!"

"I'm fine, Serafall!", Sona said. "All of us are."

"What are you doing here, Baraqiel?!", Serafall questioned as she narrowed her eyes at him.

"Stopping Kokabiel from harming my daughter and everyone else here. Including your sister.", Baraqiel said. "Something you couldn't get here in time to do.", he said causing Serafall to turn her head with a pout.

"I want a full report on what happened while our forces repair the school.", Sirzechs said as they all went somewhere to talk.

"This will be fun.", Issei said to himself glad that the long night was over.

"I see.", Sirzechs said after being told all that had happened before they showed up. "So one of the six was working with Kokabiel. Interesting."

"The main question is which of the six is working with Kokabiel and why?", Serafall questioned.

"As well as who else is working with Kokabiel?", Sirzechs questioned.

"Hmmmmmm... I wonder.", Baraqiel said as he rubbed his chin.

"What is it, Baraqiel?", Lucas asked.

"What if Kokabiel is working with "them"?", Baraqiel questioned getting Shuri, Zalena, and Lucas' attention.

"It is a possibility.", Lucas said.

"Who do you speak of?", Sirzechs asked.

"A dangerous group that is growing in number.", Zalena said. "We were on a mission to learn more about them when Marcus and Akeno called us about Kokabiel."

"If this group is as dangerous as you say, we may have a problem.", Serafall said.

"Indeed.", Baraqiel said as he saw his daughter yawning. "But right now, I say that we allow our young heroes to go home and get some sleep.", he said with a grin.

"Sleep sounds good.", Tosca said after yawning herself.

"Amen to that.", Jeane said to which the devils there flinched from the pain in their heads. "Sorry! Sorry!"

"And with that, let's go home.", Allen said as they all left leaving the Gremory and Sitri Peerages with Serafell and Sirzechs while Grayfia was helping with the clean up and repairs to the school.

"So those are the ones you told me about, Rias?", Sirzechs questioned.

"Yes.", Rias said.

"And they refuse to join you or Sona's peerages?", Serafall asked.

"Sadly yes.", Sona said. "They want nothing to do with us."

"And made it painfully clear.", Issei added.

"Then leave them be. For now.", Sirzechs said. "No use trying to force someone to join you when they do not wish to."

"Besides. Sooner or later something will happen in which you will have your chance to make them a part of your peerages.", Serafall said.

"But for now, take the time to rest after all that has happened.", Sirzechs said. "You all were able to survive an encounter with Kokaiel. Not many of our kind can say that."

Proud of themselves both peerages headed for their homes to get some much needed sleep.

"Do you think the Khaos Brigade is behind this?", Serafall asked Sirzechs.

"Indeed I do.", Sirzechs said. "Which is why I believe we should consider Azazel's proposal for peace."

"I don't trust him much, but he does raise a good point about there being peace between the three factions.", Serafall said. "This will change things."

"Hopefully for the better.", Sirzechs said as he and Serafall turned to help with the repairs to the school.

"And if things go well, So-tan and Rias will have who they want in their peerages.", Serafall said.

"Perhaps.", Sirzechs said as they began to help with the repairs. "Only time will tell."

Now as for Marcus and the others, once home, they all headed for bed to get some much needed rest. Thankfully, there were extra rooms for Lucas and Zalena as well as for Baraqiel and Shuri. Before any of them knew it the teens were out like lights. Later that morning everyone was awake and ready for breakfast. Well almost everyone. While everyone was up and about to have breakfast, the three exorcist were in the room Xenovia and Irina were sharing speaking to their leaders about all that happened to their elders, over the cell phone they were given.

"You mean to tell me that you went against orders and included the two peerages in your search for the blades even after learning that one of the devils was a survivor of the Holy Sword Project who still had a grudge against the church for what happened to him?", the father questioned not happy about what he was told. "The Dragon-Kin and his friends are one thing, but the devils are another!"

"We needed all the help we could get, sir!", Jeane said.

"Besides. The Red Dragon Emperor was there to help, as well.", Irina said.

"He's also a devil!", the father said. "One who could have easily stolen the cores of the Exaclibur blades given them to the Maou who could have done who knows what with them!"

"But they didn't.", Xenovia said. "The last thing they wanted to do was make an enemy of the church."

"It was still to big of a risk!", the father said. "You put everything at risk with your actions!"

"But, Father, we...", Jeane began to say when...

"Enough! When is your flight back to England?!", the father asked.

"Monday, sir.", Jeane said.

"Do not miss that flight.", the father said before hanging up.

"This isn't good.", Irina said.

"No it isn't.", Jeane said.

"What do you think will happen?", Xenovia asked.

"To be honest, I have no idea.", Jeane said as her stomach began to growl. "But right now, I'm hungry."

"Me too.", Irina said. "Let's go eat!"

"Do think it'll be okay to go on my date with Marcus tomorrow?", Xenovia asked as they left the room.

"Of course!", Jeane said. "It would be rude if you didn't."

"Jeane's right.", Irina said. "Go on your date and have fun.", as they entered the dining room where everyone was beginning to eat.

"Good morning girls.", Terra said.

"Good morning.", the three exorcist said before sitting at the table to eat.

"Hey, Xenovia.", Marcus said. "How about we have our date on Saturday instead of Friday? I ask this because I want to spend some time with my parents tomorrow."

"Ummmmm... Okay.", Xenovia said.

"I promise it'll be worth it.", Marcus said giving Xenovia a smile that she returned with a slight blush.

"This will give us more time to find you an outfit or two.", Akeno said.

"Oh! You should take her to the water park as well!", Tosca suggested.

"Which means that we will have to get you a swimsuit.", Kuroka said.

"Oh boy.", Marcus said knowing that Xenovia was going to be in for it with the girls.

Later that day, after school, we have Akeno, Tosca, Kuroka, Shirone, Mittelt, and Asia in the mall with Xenovia, Jeane, and Irina. Their goal, to help Xenovia find something to wear for her date with Marcus. Also with them were Terra, Shuri, and Zalena who wanted to do a bit of shopping as well. Plus, Shuri wanted to spend time with Akeno while Zalena wanted to learn more about Xenovia before her date with her son. Now the first place they stopped at was a clothing store to find Xenovia an outfit. As well as Jeane and Irina after Zalena talked them into it. Along with offering to pey for their outfits.

"So what type of outfit should I get?", Xenovia asked.

"Let's start with some swimsuits first.", Akeno said as they walked Xenovia towards the swimwear section. "A nice swimsuit can make all the difference."

"Is this really that important?", Xenovia asked.

"Nya! Most definatly!", Kuroka said. "I know for a fact that Marcus like the color..."

"Kuroka.", Zalena said in a calm yet warning tone getting Kuroka's attention. "It's just a date."

"Yes ma'am!", Kuroka said with a smile which got grin from Zalena as she gently patted her on the head.

"What am I going to do with you, young lady?", Zalena asked with a smile knowing what Kuroka was up to.

"So what should I get?", Xenovia asked.

"A good question.", Shuri said as she looked at Xenovia. "Maybe something pink."

"Try something green.", Zalena said as she walked up to Xenovia. "It goes with your hair.", she said as she handed Xenovia a green bikini.

"T-Thank you.", Xenovia said with a small smile before taking the bikini and heading into the changing room.

"And now for you two.", Terra said to Irina and Jeane.

"Us?!", Jeane and Irina questioned.

"That's right.", Akeno said with a grin. "Xenovia may be going on a date with Marcus, but that doesn't mean we can't go to the water park and have fun."

"Plus, I did say that I'd get you two something as well.", Zalena said. "So why not have some fun?"

"She does have a point.", Irina said. "We may not get a chance to have this much fun for a long time."

"Okay. Okay. I get it.", Jeane said with a smile. "Let's get a swimsuit.", she said getting a happy hug from Irina.

"I think I'll go with something black and white.", Mittelt said.

"I'll get something blue.", Shirone said.

"Ummmmmm... What kind should I get?", Asia asked with a light blush.

"Hmmmmm... Good question.", Tosca said. "Maybe something pink."

"Or red.", Mittelt suggested.

"Ummmm... can I get some help?", Xenovia asked as she stuck her head out from the changing room she was in.

Hearing this, Zalena went to help Xenovia. Once in the changing room, Zalena saw that Xenovia was already in the bikini yet saw that she had a major blush on her face.

"Do I... Do I look alright?", Xenovia asked as she was rubbing her left arm being quite nervous.

"You poor dear.", Zalena said as she gently touched the left side of Xenovia's face. "Is this your first swimsuit?", she askd getting a nod from the young exorcist. "Those at the church really didn't teach you much about the real world. Did they?"

"I'n being silly, aren't I?", Xenovia asked with her head down only for Zalena to tilt her head up so that they were looking at each other.

"No. You're not.", Zalena said with a kind smile as she placed her hands on Xenovia's shoulders. "This is something new for you. Believe me when I saw that every person goes through this thing in one way or another. So I say enjoy it as best as you can.", she said with a smile that Xenovia returned.

It didn't take the ladies long to pick a swimsuit. And I mean all the girls. Next they went to find something nice for Xenovia to wear, which wasn't as hard as they thought it would be.

"Is that what you want to wear, Xenovia?", Jeane asked her friend.

"Yes. It feels... Nice.", Xenovia said with a smile along with a slight blush.

"Then I say enjoy your date.", Zalena said with a smile, making Xenovia smile happy with her choice.

"And now that you've all got something, I think it's time we went and got a bite to eat.", Shuri said to which everyone agreed as they went to pay for everything.

Once Zalena paid for everything, the ladies went to one of the local cafes to get a little something to eat. Meanwhile, Marcus was at Azazel's place. with his father Lucas, as well as Allen and Baraqiel. The Governor General had called them over to talk about what he learned from Kokabiel.

"So what's did you learn from Kokabiel?", Lucas asked Azazel.

"Turns out that he was with the Khaos Brigade.", Azazel said.

"What's the Khaos Brigade?", Marcus asked.

"It's a group of different beings that have banded together for one purpose.", Lucas explained.

"And that is...?", Allen asked.

"Utter chaos", Baraqiel said. "Followed by taking over the world when the dust settles from all the fighting."

"That's not good.", Marcus said.

"Do the other factions know about this?", Allen asked.

"They've, like us in the Grigori, heard a few rumors or two.", Azazel said. "Which is why I've been in contact with them in hope of brokering peace between our factions."

"Think it'll happen?", Marcus asked.

"When it comes to the angels, it's a strong possibility.", Azazel said. "It's the devils that we have to worry about."

"Welcome to my world.", Marcus said in a deadpan tone. "Everyday, the girls and I have to worry about the Gremory and Sitri Peerages trying to get one of us to join their peerages."

"Well if the factions can come together in peace, you may be able to get them to back off.", Allen said.

"That or they'll use the newly brokered peace to force some of you into their peerage.", Lucas countered.

"There is that.", Allen said.

"The important thing is to have peace between our factions.", Baraqiel said.

"Agreed.", Azazel said. "I just hope we can get it happening."

"Knowing you, Azazel, you have some plan to make it happen.", Lucas said to which Azazel snickered.

"I do have a plan or two I can use.", Azazel said. "But for now, we'll just have to wait and see what happens."

"By the way, Azazel, what did you do with Raynare, Kalawarna, and Dohnaseek?", Marcus asked.

"Those three? I put them with somebody that can make full use of them.", Azazel said with a smirk.

"Good to hear.", Marcus said.

The next morning, Marcus woke up to Tosca in his bed with him dressed in a white XXL t-shirt that left her left shoulder exposed as she lays there next to him sleeping peacefully as her lips are slightly parted open as she sleeps. As he lays there, Marcus looks at Tosca and smiles at how she now has some sort of closure from her past as well as getting a new gunblade out of it all. It was then that Tosca slowly wakes up as her eyes flutter open. She slowly sits up on her knees with a yawn.

"Good morning.", Tosca said before laying back down next to Marcus.

"Good morning.", Marcus said as he looked at Tosca as she laid next to him with her eyes closed.

As he looks at Tosca, he notices how she has a figure that's close to Asia's. He thinks this remembering how Tosca let her wear her clothes when they first took her clothes shopping. Suddenly, Tosca opens her right eye, looking at Marcus.

"What is it?", Tosca asked.

"Nothing.", Marcus said with a smile. "Just thinking about the past."

"The past, huh?", Tosca questions with a small smirk as she moves closer to Marcus as she wraps her arms around his neck.

"Yeah.", Marcus said as he reach for Tosca and wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer allowing them to kiss.

Slowly, they parted lips smiling at each other as they laid in the bed. Tosca then rested her head on Marcus' chest as he laid on his back. No words were needed between the two of them as they laid in the bed enjoying the peace before they had to get ready for school.

"You do know that you're going to need a bigger bed soon.", Tosca said getting a small laugh out of Marcus.

Later, after school, Tosca leaving the school ground, with the others when Kiba came up to the group.

"Isaiah.", Tosca said calmly.

"Can we talk?", Kiba asked. "Alone."

"Is this about me joining up with you and your friends?", Tosca asked to which Kiba looked away. "Thought so. The answer is no, Isaiah."

"Is it that bad being one of us?", Kiba questioned.

"It is when once I join, I can't leave said peerage without it possibly killing me.", Tosca said.

"That's... One drawback.", Kiba said. "But Rias treats her people like family!"

"I already have a family.", Tosca said as she backed away from Kiba and stood with Akeno, Kuroka, Shirone, Mittelt, and Asia.

"Family?! Yeah right!", Kiba scoffed. "More like Marcus' harem of whores!", he said only to get smacked by Tosca.

Kiba was about to say something when he noticed the hurt look on Tosca's face as her eyes began to water.

"Leave. Now.", Akeno said as she gave Kiba a look that told him he wasn't welcomed around them.

Saying nothing, Kiba left knowing that he may have messed things up with Tosca. As for Tosca, she said nothing as she stood there until she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to see Marcus looking at her with a sad smile that she returned before she began to cry as she buried her face in his chest while holding onto him. Marcus said nothing as he held Tosca in comfort. The others girls joined in with a group hug givng Tosca the comfort she needed. Sometime later, they made their way back home where Zalena was the first to hug Tosca in comfort after she was told about what happened.

"You poor dear.", Zalena said as she continued to hold Tosca close. "How dare that boy say what he said to you and the girls!"

"Where can I find this Kiba boy?", Lucas asked with a hint of anger. "I wish to have a word with him."

"If I'm right, he lives in an apartment building where the other teen devils live.", Kuroka said.

"Just go to the ORC.", Akeno said. "Ten to one Gremory is there, and you can ask to speak with Kiba."

"I just may do that.", Lucas said as he looked at his mate who was holding a still upset Tosca.

"This'll be good.", Marcus said with a small smirk.

Later that evening, in the ORC, we have Rias Geemory who is going over some paperwork while Issei is there with her, when suddenly Lucas and Marcus teleport into the room surprising Rias and Issei.

"May I ask why you are here?", Rias questioned.

"And it better be good.", Issei said.

"I wish to speak with your Knight, Gremory!", Lucas demanded.

"And why should I allow this?", Rias questioned.

"Better question is, what did Kiba do now?", Issei asked.

"He hurt Tosca.", Marcus said. "So my father, one of her legal guardians, wish to hae a word with him."

"I see.", Rias said as she let out atiring sigh. "Very well. Just don't hurt hom to much.", she said knowing what was coming for Kiba.

'Boy did you mess up, Kiba.', Issei thought to himself.

{He's about to feel the wrath of an angry Dragon-Kin.} Ddriag said through their mental link.

A few minute later, Kiba teleported to the ORC after being contacted by Rias. Once there, he saw Marcus and Lucas there, yet didn't know who Lucas was.

But he was about to learn.

The hard way!

"What are you doing here, Doragon?!", Kiba asked. "And who are you?!", he asked Lucas.

"Lucas Doragon. Marcus' father.", Lucas said. "And one of Tosca's legal guardians.", he said as his eyes turned a blue and dragcanic surprising Kiba.

Before Kiba could act, he was slammed into the wall by Lucas who hed him in place as he narrowed his eyes at the young swordsman. As he was being held against the wall, Kiba looked into Lucas' eyes and saw an anger that told him that he was not one to be taken lightly.

"Listen well, boy.", Lucas said as he held Kiba up against the wall. "Me and my top mate took Tosca in when she was a child. While growing up, one of the main things she wanted was to get strong to protect those she cared for. And she was able to do just that as she became amazing with the sword. But then when she came here, with Marcus and the other girls, she was surprised to see you alive and well, yet was heartbroken to learn that you were a devil. She accepted it and was hoping to still be friends with you, yet you ruined it by trying to get her to become one of you. Something she wants no part of!"

"I want what's best for her!", Kiba said.

"And who are you to decide that?", Lucas asked. "It's her life! Let her be! Or the next time, I won't be so nice.", he said as he let kiba go allowing him to drop to his feet. "This is you first and only warning.", he said as he turned and walked away from Kiba. "Keep that boy in line, Gremory. Before he gets himself hurt.", he said before teleporting away with Marcus.

"Well that was... Interesting.", Issei said.

[Kiba is lucky that the man didn't break anything.] Ddriag said. [Like us dragons, Dragon-Kin can be very protective of those they care for.]

"Good to know." Issei said as Kiba stood before them and Rias.

"I hope you've learned from this, Kiba.", Rias said. "Tosca doesn't want to be one of us. So let it go."

"I just want to keep her safe.", Kiba said.

"I get it, Kiba. I really do.", Rias said with a kind smile. "But Tosca has made her choice, and you need to respect that. Understand?"

"Yes, Rias. I understand.", Kiba said with a tired sigh.

"Good.", Rias said. "Now go home and get some rest. Tomorrow is a new day, and I'll need you all at your best."

Saying nothing, Kiba bowed to Rias before teleporting away. Leaving Rias alone with Issei.

"Think he'll really stop?", Issei asked.

"For now he will.", Rias said as she sat at her desk. "But in time, he'll try again."

"Got to give him points for not giving up.", Issei said with a grin.

"Let's just hope he doesn't get himself seriously hurt.", Rias said worried about Kiba.

As for Kiba, once he was in his small apartment, he got dressed for bed and was about to lay down when he noticed a small photo of Tosca he had taken of her a while ago when she first arrived in Kuoh. He looks at the photo with a sad smile thinking about finding a way to bring her into Rias' peerage. Yet that smile soon turns into a frown as he realized that the main obstacles in his way are the ones she's living with. Mainly one Marcus Doragon.

"If I could get him out of the way, I'll be able to talk Tosca into joining Rias' peerage.", Kiba figured. "But how? I'll think of something, and when he's out of the way, Tosca will join Rias's peerage where I can keep her safe.", he said before going to bed.

As for Marcus, he suddenly felt a cold chill go down his spine, as he was getting in his bed.

"What was that about?", he questioned. "Whatever it is, it can't be good.", he said as he got in bed and slowly went to sleep.
