"Unnn…"

Drake was awakened from his sleep when he heard a seductive voice. A familiar one that was close to him.

He was on his right side, facing the direction of the voice. So when he cracked open his eyes a bit, Drake smiled at what he found.

His girlfriend, Rias Gremory was sleeping soundly next to him, naked. Her face was only two inches away from his, with the two of them holding each other. His arms were around her, holding the busty young woman close to him. Rias' left arm was around his head, while her right hand was placed on his chest. She had her right leg around his left leg, trapping it between her thighs.

With a few longs of her crimson hair in front of her face, her stimulating smell filled Drake's nose. It was a smell that he's been getting used to ever since Rias started living with him at Devil May Cry.

Turning his head, he managed to see the clock was at 7:30, and school wasn't due to start for another two and a half hours. So he plopped back down with a groan and wrapped his arm around Rias, pulling her close to him as she moaned and snuggled against his body, moving her legs to wrap around his waist rather than his legs.

"Still early?" Rias' tired voice came out as more of a muffled mumble due to her burying her face into the crook of her boyfriend's neck.

"Yeah." Drake said, running his hand through her silky red hair. "Only two and a half hours left until school. I'm sure we can sleep a little while longer."

"Mmm." Rias moaned before lifting her head and rubbed her eyes with a cute yawn. "I wish we could... but we both know what happened the last time we wanted a longer lie. We ended up late for school because we had to get breakfast. We should get up now, sweetheart, so we can get breakfast and be at school on time."

Drake groaned this time but he nodded and gently took her arm off him before sitting up with a groan, stretching until he felt several pops in his body, then rolled his head and shoulders before feeling the love of his life sit up and press her large breasts against his back and wrap her arms around him, before resting her chin on his left shoulder.

"We've still got some time left though." Rias whispered to him in a seductive and tempting voice, slowly tracing a heart on his chest with her finger. The way she talked and pressed herself onto him with her breasts caused a certain appendage of his to harden. "It might be wonderful to stay like this until it's time to wake up. Do you want to do something sexy to pass the time?"

Drake gave her a look with a raised eyebrow. "You sure you aren't a temptress?"

"I'm sure~" Rias purred, running a finger down his toned chest.

Despite being a couple, they haven't had sex yet as Drake wanted Rias to feel ready for that kind of thing and he also wanted to make their first night making love special. It was a reminder that he needed to take Rias out on a date at some point. They've spent a lot of time together like any couple, but had never gone out on an actual date yet. Most of the intimate actions they've done is heavy make out sessions, groping each other, and grinding their respective sex against each other.

"You know what? Fuck it." Drake said with a smirk as he rolled them over, causing Rias to giggle, before they closed the gap and locked lips with moans. Drake's hands went down to Rias' legs and caressed them before he moved them under to get at her ass cheeks, causing the redhead to moan as she bucked her hips up upon feeling Drake's cock through his boxers, the two of them really getting into things when suddenly...

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Hey lovebirds! Get off each other and get dressed, we've got some visitors!" Raynare's voice said on the other end, startling the two before they groaned at being interrupted, though curiosity soon took hold as they wondered what the Fallen Angel was talking about.

"We better go and see what's going on." Rias said, getting a nod from Drake before they got out of bed and started getting dressed into their school uniform.

"What the hell?" Drake said with surprise upon seeing an unexpected sight when he came downstairs to his shop.

Standing there, side by side, in the kitchen in front of Drake were Xuelan, Karlamine, and Yubelluna; all of them dressed in sexy French maid uniforms which were sleeveless and exposed their ample cleavages. Xuelan kept her Chinese buns and Karlamine her headband but Yubelluna wore a maid headpiece to replace her crown, along with putting her hair down in two ponytails. Not only that, but Grayfia was also with them.

"Good morning, master!" Xuelan, Karlamine and Yubelluna said together and bowed and smiled. "We're here for your service!"

Drake stared at them before he looked at Grayfia and gestured to them and herself. "Explanation, please."

"Starting today, myself and these three will be your maids." Grayfia said, shocking Drake and Rias while Raynare and Kalawarner were smirking and snickering to themselves.

"B-But why?" Drake asked, looking at the three former Phenex servants. "You're free. You should be doing whatever you wanted rather than doing something like this."

"Well, we thought about it but... nothing appealed to us." Yubelluna explained. "We owe you a life debt from the day we first met, and thus we shall pay that debt off by being your maids from this moment onwards."

"And what about you, Grayfia?" Rias asked, looking at her sister-in-law. "Do Sylvia and Sirzechs know about this?"

"They do." Grayfia nodded before looking at Drake. "I'm afraid, my presence is because of similar circumstances as these three. You see, during the civil war, your father saved my life even after I attempted to kill him. He stopped a pile of rubble from falling on top of me, and from then on I owed him a life debt."

"And because he's dead, you can't repay him for saving your life so it passes onto me." Drake said with a sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose as Grayfia nodded.

"Yes. I am your maid for as long as you'll have me." Grayfia said with her usual stoicism.

Drake looked at Rias and gestured to his four new maids. "What do you make of this?"

"Life debts are taken seriously, Drake. If they want to repay you in this way, then you'll have to allow it." Rias said, crossing her arms under her breasts. She wasn't very pleased though. That was four more beautiful women living at Devil May Cry when she's already got competition in Raynare and Kalawarner. The last thing she needed was Akeno coming to stay as she was another part of the competition for a place in Drake's heart.

"Don't see why you're against it, Drake." Kalawarner said with a smirk as she crossed her arms under her breasts. "You've got four sexy ladies in equally sexy outfits living here as your maids, and you've already got me, Ray and Rias, a trio of totally smoking hot babes living with you. You're living every guy's dream in having a harem."

"Who the hell-What the hell, Kala?!" Drake gaped at her while she laughed, and some of the other ladies blushed at the 'harem' bit such as Raynare, Rias, Yubelluna, Xuelan and Karlamine. Grayfia remained stoic... though there was a very faint hint of red in her cheeks. Drake took several deep breaths to calm himself down before looking at his... maids, that'll take some getting used to. "Okay, on several conditions."

"Name it." Grayfia nodded.

"Don't call me master or anything that implies that you're beneath me, nobody is beneath me. Secondly, you'll have something to eat and drink along with everyone else rather than cooking for everyone and choosing to do nothing afterwards. Everyone is equal in this house, and I won't see anyone left out. You'll also train alongside myself, Rias, Raynare and Kalawarner. Since Grayfia is here, I'm sure she can teach a thing or two."

"I can." The silver-haired beauty confirmed.

"Are these conditions agreeable?" Drake asked them. "Because, I really don't see a need for maids nor will I treat you like servants."

"This is what we want to do." Yubelluna confirmed, getting nods from Xuelan and Karlamine.

"I have no problems. But I am the head maid." Grayfia said. "Now, I take it breakfast hasn't been made yet?"

"No." Raynare shook her head.

Grayfia nodded then looked at her three underlings. "Girls, let's get to work."

"Yes ma'am!" Yubelluna, Xuelan and Karlamine said before following the silver-haired beauty upstairs to begin breakfast for everyone.

Drake sighed and looked at Rias. "How the hell did my life become an anime show? Seriously, that's what this feels like. It's the good looks, isn't it?"

"Unfortunately." Rias sighed before patting her boyfriend on the cheek and went upstairs with the other to have breakfast. Drake exhaled before he followed after them.

The noon came soon than Drake had realized. It was a bright day at Kuoh Academy, and the weather across the country has started to become warmer than before with the arrival of spring.

He sighed while leaning back in his chair, staring up at the ceiling. His life had truly become a roller coaster ever since he met Rias, not that it was her fault. First, he had to deal with a group of Fallen Angels, two of which he ended up sparing due to it being part of a job, then he had to deal with some cocky, arrogant, spoiled-as-fuck Devil who wanted to make Rias a sex toy rather than his wife, which Drake wasn't going to allow due to his own feelings for the redhead, though he didn't find out until the day after he slept with Rias, and also found out he had extended family... godparents, in the form of Rias' older brother and his wife.

On top of that, there was the reveal that Sparda had truly been a Devil and his actions before, during and after the War with the Demons.

"Guess it's just something an ordinary guy like me has to live with." Drake muttered under his breath, looking out the window.

"What was that, son?" A familiar and unpleasant voice asked, bringing Drake out of his own little world and back into the real one. He brought his head down to look in front of himself, only to be met with the sight of Matsuda and Motohama standing before him.

"Can I help you two?" Drake asked with annoyance. Where was Issei? He's usually hanging around these two idiots.

Motohama placed his hands on the desk and leaned closer to Kenny. "There're some rather odd rumors about you going around you, so you might want to be more careful."

"What rumors?" The son of Sparda asked, already annoyed by the fact that the glasses-wearing pervert was in his face.

"One is that you're playing around with beautiful girls like you were a wild beast." He said while fixing his glasses and having a shadow loom over his face.

"Pardon?" Drake raised a brow.

"Yeah, yeah!" Mastsuda said. "For real, man. They say that you got a hold of Rias and Akeno, and forced them to evil, sexual acts against their will. Making them say such dirty shit, man~!"

"...What?" Drake blinked.

"There's more," said Motohama. "They say that you've got fangs into the school's mascot, Koneko, who has a loli body. That you've devoured her in intense sexual intercourse that could easily break her body. Feasting on her underdeveloped body like a carnivorous beast! And now you lust has now reached the Angel who had just transferred to our school; Asia."

'Those last two aren't even- What the fuck is with the people at this place?' Drake thought annoyingly, feeling a headache beginning to form. Koneko was more like a little sister to him, same as Asia. Besides, Asia had a thing for Issei... though he really couldn't see why. "Who's spreading these rumours?"

"Well, that was us," Mastsuda admitted.

"... What?"

"Snap!" Motohama exclaimed, getting closer to his face to the point that Drake could have sworn he was smelling their bad breath. "If you don't let us know what you know, we'll go crazy with jealousy!"

"Yeah!" Motohama joined in. "And it'd already be too late, see!"

"That's the excuse you two have for spreading rumors?" Drake asked indignantly.

"By the way," said Mastsuda, "we're also spreading a rumor about you and Kiba being a gay couple, and that Issei joins in at times. It's really popular among some girls."

POW! POW!

"Why don't the two of you go fuck yourselves?" Drake huffed in anger at two of the Perverted Trio as he stood up from his chair, who were now lying on the floor with bruised faces after he punched them. Not wanting to deal with a headache even more, the half-Devil left the classroom, thankful there was only five minutes left, and decided he'd spend those last five minutes chilling out in the Occult Research Clubroom.

After he'd left the room, Drake went over to the old school building. He raised a confused eyebrow when Issei passed him, looking quite goofy with that look on his face but shrugged it off as Issei being Issei. When he opened the door to the clubroom, he saw that there wasn't anyone there. Stepping into the room and hearing door closed behind him, the young man's ears picked up the sound of the shower, and the soft humming of a woman's voice. "Hello? Anyone here?"

"I'm in the shower! Who is it?" Drake instantly recognized the voice as Akeno's voice. And it was coming from behind the curtain of the shower, which he saw the silhouette of Akeno through.

"It's me, Drake."

"Oh hey, Drake," Akeno said with a joyful tone. "You looking for Rias?"

"Ah, no." Drake responded, feeling somewhat awkward. After all, a beautiful girl was taking a shower right now, and it didn't help that he had a stirring of feelings for her... actually, a part of him was dead certain he was starting to fall for Akeno as well. "Just here to rest and sleep off a headache thanks to two idiots at school today."

"Oh, you poor thing." Akeno giggled. "Go rest, I shouldn't be long. I won't disturb you as well, need to take a good shower after helping Issei sort a problem out with his arm."

Drake raised a brow. "Dare I ask?"

Another giggle from the raven-haired Devil. "No~ Only that I sucked the energy out... through his finger."

"...Yeah, I shouldn't have asked. Explains the look on his face though." Drake said, plopping down on the couch with a sigh, shutting his eyes. Aside from the sound of running water, he had peace and quiet to take a twenty-thirty minute nap, hopefully deals with this headache, then he can pay a visit to Kyoto via his Devil Trigger. He has been meaning to visit Yasaka and Kunou again.

The sound of the curtain pushing to the side interrupted his thoughts, and made him turn towards it. When he did, Drake couldn't help but blushing and stare with a slightly gaping jaw.

Standing there was Akeno herself, wearing nothing but a drenched white bathrobe that attracted to her perfect figure. Her skin was glistering from the water still on her wet body, making her more beautiful. "Ah, much better~" The young woman sighed happily, untying the orange ribbon, which let her hair down. Drake didn't know why, but seeing her hair down like that always made her even more stunning. "Sorry to interrupt your quiet, Drake."

"it's okay." Drake said, trying to keep his focus on her face and not look down at her wet, almost naked body. "Everyone needs their shower, I suppose."

Akeno smiled softly, sitting down on the opposing couch and crossing her legs at the knee, causing the robe to hike up and expose more of her legs even more than what was already exposed. Drake glanced at her and quickly looked away when he was certain he got a glimpse of Akeno's pussy. Why did she have to be so goddamn beautiful? As beautiful as Rias?

Akeno's giggling brought him from his thoughts to see her looking at him in amusement. "Your staring is flattering, Drake. But it's not all that bad. I've always wanted to adore you. Even though I act like this, I've a great liking towards you, Drake."

"I'm a likeable guy." Drake said, trying to ignore the fact Akeno's bathrobe was staring to become see-through due to how wet it was, and she wasn;t wearing anything underneath that robe.

"That I know. I'd be willing to go even further. But if I make a move on you, then Rias would get jealous. And we both know what she's like when she's upset." Akeno giggled before her expression fell a little, looking like something was on her mind which Drake noticed.

"Something wrong?" He inquired.

"No, it's nothing like that," said the young woman. "It's just that… Remember your battle with Phoenix."

This caused Drake to feel a bit puzzled. "Yeah, of course."

"I was watching you like everyone else." Akeno stood up. Her head tilted downwards with her purple eyes closed. "You refused to accept us losing and wanted to do anything to save Rias from her fate. You were the definition of a warrior, Drake. And then crashing the engagement party like you did to save Rias, impressive. You were even able to defeat Riser, who was rumored to be immortal." She looked directly at him with her eyes now open. Drake was then surprised when she walked over and crouched down beside him, placed her finger on his chest and started tracing on it. "Ufu. Sometimes I think about you and the area around my breast gets hot. And I can't help it. But when I try to make you enjoy something like this, the instinct of a bully inside me rises… I wonder, if this could be love."

"Love…?" Drake asked as he stared at her while Akeno looked at him with loving eyes. He could have sworn he saw it in her eyes. The strong affections of love.

Before he could say anything else, the school's bells rung, causing Akeno to back away from Drake. "We should do this again sometime. I quite enjoy having time to chat with you." said the black-haired beauty, before walking to the door and exiting the room, leaving Drake alone, his heart beating faster than usual... and leaving him in a state of conflict.

He was certain now... he had feelings for Akeno, but what about Rias?

"It is good to see you again, Drake. I wasn't sure that you'd visit until the attention on you died down after it was revealed you are the son of Sparda." Yasaka said, smiling at Drake who sat across from her. The son of Sparda had come straight to Kyoto after school was finished, having went by flying in Devil Trigger form to save time rather than taking the train. Plus, it helped take his mind off what happened with Akeno.

This wasn't Drake's second visit to Kyoto to see Yasaka and Kunou, he had agreed to visit them whenever he wasn't too busy. This was actually his fifth visit to Kyoto and seeing the two Kitsunes, though his last visit had been sometime before his fight with Riser.

Drake shrugged. "Well, I couldn't let my favourite pair of Kitsunes think I didn't want to see them again, did I?"

Yasaka giggled. "Favourites, huh? What would your girlfriend have to say about that?" She asked teasingly, leaning forward which made her breasts jiggle slightly, and Drake did all he could to not glance at them. It didn't help that her attire revealed a large amount of cleavage.

"She already knows about my visits here, so don't worry." Drake said, waving his hand to assure her even though he knew she was teasing him. "I told her about my first visit, how I saved Kunou from the Oni, met you."

"How bold of you, telling your girlfriend you're visiting another woman and her child." Yasaka giggled with a mischievous look.

Drake gave her a deadpanned look. "You really are a vixen at times, aren't you?"

"Maybe~" She winked at him with a beautiful smile before coming out of her playful mood. "Though I must say, I was very impressed with how you fought Riser Phenex."

Drake shrugged. "Did you doubt I would lose?"

"Not even for a second." Yasaka admitted genuinely, making Drake smile. "And Kunou very much enjoyed the fight and seeing you win."

As if she was summoned, Kunou suddenly materialised out of nowhere. "It was so cool! You beat that chicken Devil with one punch! And all those cool moves! Like, BOOM! And ching." She ended up acting out most of the things she'd seen from Drake's fight.

Chuckling, he patted her head slightly. "Well, glad you liked it. And I was pretty awesome."

"Comments of praise, aside," Yasaka said, "I am glad that you are alright."

"Well, thank you, Yasaka." Drake said with a smile, one she returned with a soft gaze at him.

Kunou turned to Drake with stars in her eyes. "Can you teach me how to use power the way you do, Drake? Also, how to fight like you? There's a couple of boys at my school that keep annoying me." She said the last part with a pout.

"Kunou." Yasaka gave her daughter a look.

Drake chuckled again and ruffled the girl's hair, much to her annoyance. "Maybe one day, though not to let you beat up boys just because they annoy you... though if they do something you're uncomfortable with, then feel free to put them in a hospital."

"Drake..." Yasaka gave the Demon Hunter a stern look, which he shrugged at.

"What? She might as well know what to do if a boy tries something with her in that way and she doesn't feel comfortable." Drake said in defence of himself, then looked at Kunou. "Hey, maybe I'll pay a visit to your school and have a little 'chat' with these boys that are annoying you instead."

That cheered Kunou up as she squealed and hugged his leg, wrapping her nine tails around it as well. Drake smiled and nuzzled his hand against her hand, making her vibrate in joy. He also noticed Yasaka smiling warmly at the sight.

"Anyway, it's getting late. I should get back to Kuoh." Drake said as he stood.

Kunou pouted as she released his leg. "Do you have to go?" She asked with a sad expression.

Drake crouched down and tilted her chin up. "You know I'll come visit, right? Can't let you and your mother go without seeing this handsome face every so often."

"Handsome? Meh." Kunou shrugged, causing Drake to gape at her while Yasaka giggled in amusement.

"Oi! I'll have you know I am handsome, so don't you 'meh' me." Drake pointed at her playfully, causing her to playfully pretend to bite his finger which he snatched back. He chuckled and ruffled her hair again before standing up. "Behave yourself, kid."

"Oh she does, don't worry." Yasaka said as she followed Drake to the door and opened it for him. The sun was setting, and it wouldn't be long before night settled in. "You take care of yourself, Drake. Okay?"

"I always do, Yasaka. No need to worry." Drake assured her but she just gave him a beautiful smile as she put a hand on his arm.

"I always have to worry." She said softly, keeping her hand there. Drake found himself staring into those golden eyes of hers, feeling like he was starting to get lost in them.

A giggling snapped Drake and Yasaka from their trance and they looked to see Kunou. "Mom and Drake are in love~" She said in a singing way.

"Kunou!" Yasaka yelled, blushing as did Drake.

"A-Anyway, I better go." Drake said, Yasaka nodding in agreement. Drake looked at Kunou and pointed at her, but she pointed back at him which made him narrow his eyes playfully and she did the same. "You will be good for your mother, go to bed when she says so, and if those boys annoy you at school... kick them in the balls."

Yasaka smacked him on the back of the head, causing Kunou to giggle.

Drake grunted as he landed on top of a rooftop in Kuoh, transforming back to human. He stood up straight and crossed his arms with a smile as he looked out across the town at night, the full moon high in the air, bathing all in it's beautiful moonlight. Drake's coat swayed in the soft breeze as he got lost in enjoying the view...

So naturally something had to ruin it.

His phone rang, causing Drake to sigh before he took it out of his pocket only to frown when he saw the caller's name before answering it. "Two months since I last heard from you, Azazel, and you're calling me now?"

"Oh come on! I was waiting until all the attention on you had died down... well, as little as it had. I mean, it's not everyday where you find out Sparda had a kid and that said son has established the House of Sparda as an official Devil House in the Underworld." Azazel defended himself.

Drake sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose with a finger before asking. "What's the purpose of this call, Az? You got a job for me?"

"Sort of, though this isn't your typical 'exterminate demons' type of mission. This is an investigative job I want you to do." Azazel said, now serious, which caused Drake to get serious since Azazel going serious is rare due to the man's carefree and laidback attitude. If Azazel was serious, then the whole situation was dead serious.

"What's the details?" Drake asked.

"The Excalibur Swords have been stolen."

"What?" Drake frowned.

"Long story, part of a project the Church did a while back with the broken pieces of the original Excalibur. Anyway, they've been stolen and I didn't find out until recently through my own means. It doesn't help that I should've guessed this was happening because... Kokabiel has gone rogue." Azazel said.

"Kokabiel... the guy who sent the fake orders to Raynare and her group." Drake stated, recalling the name.

"Yep. Him vanishing like that, the Excaliburs being stolen, I know he's got something to do with this. He's always wanted the Great War to continue, and seeks to start a second one that could probably top the first one. And... I think he may be planning on finding a way to unseal and bring Mundus to the Human World."

Drake's eyes widened at this and he nearly dropped his phone in shock but held it to his ear still. "S-Seriously?! But my father sealed Mundus and his legions in an unknown realm that some call the Demon World, not even I know where he did it. How can Kokabiel do that?"

"I'm not sure. Look, while I wish I could involve myself and deal with Kokabeil, as he is a fellow Fallen Angel so he falls under my jurisdiction... if I involve myself, as the Holy Swords have been stolen by a Fallen Angel, the other Factions may take it the wrong way. But if things are left, then Kokabiel gets what he wants. Drake, I need you to investigate, find out what you can and stop Kokabiel."

"Already planned to as soon as you said he's intending to set Mundus free and undo my father's work." Drake said, then after a few more minutes of conversation with Azazel, the call ended there and Drake pocketed his phone. "Jesus... there's never a dull day around here." After a few seconds, Drake finally turned away from the sky to the side. "What do you think?"

Standing behind him was a familiar black-haired woman. Her cat ears twitched as she placed a hand on her hips and she had an amused grin on her face.

"So you were able to sense me again. If I didn't know who you were, I would have thought that I had been getting sloppy, nya." The Nekomata said as she started to take a few steps forward. "To be able to detect my presence even when I am hiding it so well, as expected of the son of Sparda. It sure was mean of you to hide that from me when we last met."

"Well, we didn't know each other enough to speak about personal details." Drake said with a small smirk as he faced her. "Though now that you know that, care to finally tell me your name?"

"Hmm..." The woman tapped her chin playfully, thinking, then shrugged. "Sure. Kuroka. My name is Kuroka, nya."

"That's a lovely name." Drake admitted, causing a hint of red to appear on Kuroka's cheeks.

"Flattering of you, nya~" Kuroka smiled before as she came to stand beside him and the two looked out at the city. "So, what brings you up onto the rooftops?"

"The view." Drake said, gesturing to the view before them. He then looked at her. "Why did you abandon your sister, Kuroka? What's the story behind you?"

Kuroka looked at him and chuckled. "You really don't know?"

"No, that's why I'm asking, so..." Drake said and gave her the gesture to go on.

Kuroka sighed before she sat down, crossing one leg over the other as Drake sat down beside her. When she spoke, her tone and expression was more somber and Drake could see a lot of sadness in her eyes. "Why do you want to know?"

"I'm curious." Drake answered. "What happened that had you be unable to see your own sister?"

"I killed my master because I went mad with power, then I left my sister." Kuroka said seriously, and Drake knew it was a lie thanks to his sense of smell being able to detect lies when he smelled them. Kuroka's cat ears then lowered. "At least, that's what everyone including her thinks."

Drake looked at her for a few seconds, then he slowly took her hand into his, causing her to blink and looked at their joined hands before looking at him. Drake's expression was serious as he said. "Tell me the truth."

"Sounds like a lot happened while I was away for the day." Drake remarked as he laid on his bed in his... well, his and Rias' bedroom, staring up at the ceiling while his fiancée sat at her dressed, naked, brushing her silky red hair. She had just finished telling him how the day had gone after he went to Kyoto, telling him of Kiba acting strange ever since they left Issei's place due to hosting an ORC club meeting there. And then, the blonde Knight looked completely out of it during a fight with a Stray Devil, which nearly got Koneko and Issei killed.

"That's one way to put it." Rias said with a sigh, evidently stressed from how things were going lately before she put her brush down and stood up, walking over to join her man in their bed, pecking his lips. "It doesn't help that he saw something in Issei's photo album that caused him to bring up the Holy Sword Excalibur."

"Excalibur? King Arthur's sword from the legends?" Drake asked, getting a nod from the redhead as she snuggled against him and he wrapped an arm around his waist, placing his hand on her hip and tracing circles with a finger.

"As you know, Holy Swords are the ultimate weapons against Devils," Rias said. "If we, the Devils, touch the Holy Sword, then we will burn ourselves. If we get cut by it, then we will be terminated without a trace. It could be called the ultimate weapon for those who believe in God and see the Devils as an enemy."

"Feel sorry for you then. Being half-Devil, I doubt holy stuff would affect me as much as a normal Devil." Drake said. He had never came across anything of Holy design and make, so he wouldn't know if he had the same weaknesses as normal Devils. He had the strengths of both Devils and humans, and had shown no weakness thus far... but that didn't mean he didn't have a weakness. "What's Excalibur got to do with this?"

"Even though there are numerous Holy Swords originating from all over the world, I still think the most famous one would be Excalibur. Even in Japan, it comes up in many books. It's a holy weapon that is created through means of magic and alchemy by those who reach the territory of God. But Holy-Swords choose their wielders. I hear that only one person in a decade or so gets chosen."

"Kiba's Sacred Gear can create demonic swords, right? So isn't there a Sacred Gear that can create Holy Swords instead?" Drake asked, coming to that conclusion because of Kiba's Gear.

"It's not like there aren't. But if you compare it to the holy-swords that already exist, it is kind of lacking. Of course I'm not saying it's weak. Among them there is a sacred utensil included in the 'Longinus', just like Issei's Boosted Gear. The most famous is the Sacred Gear that was wielded by the person who killed Jesus Christ, the 'True Longinus'. It's also said that the name 'Longinus' was derived from it."

Longinus. It was a Sacred Gear that has the power to kill God. 'So the spear that killed Jesus was one of the Longinus,'

"Excalibur one of the most powerful of the Holy Swords with no equal, but it needed a person worthy to wield it," Rias said. "There was a project several years ago inside the Christian Church that aimed to make those who can wield the Excalibur."

Her eyes narrowed into a scowl.

"The Holy-Sword Project."

"What's that?" Drake asked, remembering that Azazel mentioned it in their phone call.

"A project that became a complete failure. It seemed like everyone who received artificial treatment couldn't adapt to the Excalibur. And Kiba, he barely survived the project."

"What do you mean?" Drake asked.

"The people of the Church decided to view the ones who couldn't adapt to the Holy Swords as 'defective products'… and disposed of them."

Drake's eyes widened with shock and disbelief.

"Most of the people experimented on were killed, including Kiba. Only because they couldn't adapt to the Holy Swords…"

"And this was done by the people of the Church? The ones who proclaim they do 'God's will'." Drake scoffed and shook his head. "Just another reminded of why humans can be worse than demons."

"They, the people of the Church, calls us Devils an evil existence, but I think the bad intentions of humans are the greatest evil in this world," Rias said with sad eyes. "When I reincarnated Kiba into a Devil, that boy was swearing for his revenge even when he was in a critical situation. Because his talents were being used for holy-swords since he was born, I wanted him to use his talents as a Devil. Kiba's talent at using swords would be a waste for only using it for Holy Swords. I want to save him from a life of misery."

Drake was silent.

"Kiba couldn't forget about it. The Holy Swords. Those who were involved with the holy-swords. And the people of the Church…" Rias sighed heavily. "Anyway, I'll just watch over him for now. Right now his head is full of the feelings he has towards the holy-swords. But I hope he returns to his usual self."

Drake, having no words to comfort her, merely kissed the top of her head which made her smile and close her eyes as she snuggled against him. The son of Sparda just held her close before they both succumbed to sleep.

And that's it for this chapter everyone. I hope you enjoyed it.
