The reason that Issei, Asia, and Ranko had to leave their class to head to the next one was not because they had gym class next. It was because they had home economics instead so they had to switch classes to go there. After all full kitchens could not be placed into every classroom within Kouh Academy. However both were kind of worried at this point as Ranko was still out of it and at the moment showed no sign of recovering.

As the two of them were walked into the home economics room and basically guiding Ranko as they did so. As she would not move otherwise if the two them were not in sense forcing her to move forward as they both had grip on one of the red hair teen's hand. Although as they walked there were thinking about the other that holding one of Ranko's hand.

'Did Issei seeing her do…THAT in front of everyone. Why did it have THAT much of an effect her' Asia thought.

'How exactly does this girl know Ranko' Issei thought.

Issei then had Ranko sit down in one the chairs around the tables in the room. While Asia sat around for them on the other side. Though this table was not meant for just three people as there was still an empty seat to be filled.

"Hey did you guys need a fourth person for your group" the two heard a voice ask them.

Looking around they did not see anyone until they looked down to see a girl that was looking up at them. The girl was shorter then even Asia and as a resulted looked even more outplace in this class when she did.

"This is the high school section of Kouh Academy you know" Issei told the kid

"I am a high schooler you know" the girl said to them looking visibly annoyed with them but not to the point that she would walk away.

"Are you sure as you do not seem to be" Asia replied as she did not expected someone shorter then herself to be in their grade.

"I am and my name is Yoiko" she told them

"Hey ask her how old she is" someone else in the room said all of sudden

"So what if I am nine. I have proved that I can be here and was accepted in" she said glaring at them getting on the empty seat to be at eye level with them.

"Nine" both Issei and Asia said shocked

Yoiko nodded then explaining that she was a high school because she skipped grades. Though skipping grades was difficult...very difficult it was not completely impossible to do. After all Kouh Academy was not typical school as it house all grades from elementary to college. There no need to worry about exams or crap school as you just go from one division of the Kouh Academy to the next if you had the grades to do so. Of course Yoiko was not aware of this, but her father also had the right connections and ability to make deals that could allow his daughter to skip grades all that much easier. These amongst other reason were why Yoiko was a nine year old high schooler.

"Are you sure that you two want Yoiko in your group. Having no one would be better then having her and you two are already one person down it seems" another student asked

"I can cook….as long as I focus. After all I have gone through extensive training at home to make sure that I can" Yoiko exclaimed

'Extensive training….for merely being able to cook?' Issei and Asia thought.

"Seriously you guys. Yoiko can cook it just you need to watch her more closely then others. You were all inform of this on the very first day" the teacher said as they arrived looking annoyed at their class.

However the teacher took one good look at the class and then their eyes rolled up into their head. Their legs gave out and the began collapsing to the ground. Before they could hit it Issei who happened to be the closest to them managed to catch them before they could. While Yoiko seemed pretty worried about them more so then anyone else within the classroom as the home economics teacher was not known to just faint like that. Though the class needed to go on so a replacement teacher for the moment was called in.

Thus class continued with everyone being given their assignment for the day.

"Huh!?" Ranko said as she looked down to see that she was busy peeling something.

'What going on? Where I am?' she thought as kept going with her peeling though.

Though Ranko noticed that someone else that apparently working with her was reaching for something that made no sense thus stopped them.

"What are you….oh thanks" they said blushing noticing the mistake they were about to make.

"Welcome back as it about time you can to again" Ranko heard Issei tell her.

'Issei….Then I…I' Ranko started thinking before she stepped on her own foot to prevent herself from completing that line of thought.

She needed to focus and find out what happened to her since she blank out. Cursing her master as Ranko could not believe that she feel for their trick yet again. Though looking across from Issei she noticed someone else she knew that working on stirring something with a large bowl.

"Asia! What are you doing here" Ranko said shocked

"It's a long story but I have been a student here at least as long as you have. We actually transferred into Issei's class together" she told her

"Then you are you?" Ranko asked the girl across from her.

"I am Yoiko" she said.

"Gotcha" the red hair replied.

Yoiko then waited as she was sure her age was going to be brought up as it always was after all. But Ranko did not say anything other then what she had previously.

"Are not you going to ask what I am going here?" she asked.

"Why? You are here thus must belong here" Ranko said "Hey that should not be used" reaching to stop Yoiko from using the wrong thing again

"Sorry about that" the young girl said slapping herself as she had regain her focus. She could not cook properly if she was not focused after all.

Author's Note: Though it will not be a long time from now I do plan to have Ranko ending up as a reincarnated devil in Ranko DXD. The result of the last poll was that she should become a Queen. However that sparked the question of the current poll for whose Queen should Ranko be. These are the current results of the still ongoing poll located on my profile page:

Issei's Queen (He would be a King from the start after becoming reincarnated devil): 8 votes 57%

Ranko is merely a Free Agent Queen that has no official peerage but help Rias' mostly: 3 votes 21%

Actually Ranko should be a Knight, Rook, or Pawn: 3 votes 21%
