Devils, Gods, and Soul Reapers
Chapter Three: The Hunt Begins
Underworld Old Satan Territory one week later
After taking it slow for about a week to avoid attracting unwanted attention Ichigo had teleported, about five miles from his target destination in order to shake off the ones that were following him all the while keeping his energy suppressed. He had stopped in and empty cave to take a short break in order to look over the information that Sirzechs had given him.
"Well let's take a look at the info that bonehead gave Me." He thought, "Katerea Leviathan Ultimate class devil and from the look of this picture quite beautiful. Her stats are excellent, her intelligence is on par with Kisuke's I am impressed should be a decent challenge. Viser stray devil also quite beautiful on second thought no she is not, strength level SS-class. Not too much trouble from that one. Diodora Astaroth from the Astaroth clan of the 72 Pillars High class Devil. It says here that he has a tendency to force nuns into his peerage and physically abuse them just so he can break them, oh just for that this guy dies first. Creuserey Asmodeus Ultimate Class Devil again stats and intelligence are both excellent looks kind of like Yhwach though an arrogant prick all the way. Shalba Beezlebub same as the last guy but kind of looks like Aizen. Finally, Rizevem Livan Lucifer Classification: Super Devil should be avoided by all but the most experienced fighters. Strength Level: low-med level God Class Combatant son of the original Lucifer. If I can find this guy I'll take him out last." Ichigo said, as he got ready to move out.
Ichigo's Hotel Penthouse Suite in Kuoh
Yoruichi and the girls were just about to sit down to lunch when they heard a knock at the door.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! "Coming! Just a minute!" Yoruichi said.
As she got there and opened the door, she saw a handsome young man standing there with his foot in the doorframe to block the doors closure. Yoruichi laughed inwardly when she saw what he was doing as she thought it was cute. "I can tell by the feel of his energy that he's a devil, high class at least. I wonder what he's doing here as if it isn't easy to figure out." She thought.
"Can I help you?" She asked.
"Why yes you can. My name is Riser Phoenix and I want you in my peerage and before you say no I will have you by any means necessary because I always get what I want." He said.
"There is it. Serafall warned us this could happen." She thought.
"Well Riser Phoenix you may get want you want most of the time but not this time. I decline your offer as my fiancé and I have already informed Lucifer-Sama that we would not be joining anyone's peerage. Now I suggest you move your foot or I will rip it off." She said releasing enough KI to make Byakuya Kuchiki shit himself.
Riser knew at that instant that he was no match for her but he had to have her so he hatched a plan. He knew that if he used the speed and Phoenix tears his family was famous for she wouldn't stand a chance or so he thought.
"Tell you what miss. I will leave you as well as your family alone if you can beat me in a dual." Riser said.
Yoruichi grabbed him by the throat, hoisted him off the ground, and said, "You will leave us alone regardless you ignorant little worm. I was informed of the laws passed by your government and they state that a forced resurrection can only take place if the individual being resurrected is either dead or close to death and any other time resurrection must be willingly allowed. You asked and I gave you my answer now get lost or I will send to back to your perch in pieces. If you ever come near me or anyone I care about ever again I will kill you." She said her body and eyes started to take on a faint white glow. Yoruichi dropped the ignorant boy, watched as he ran for his life, and went back to lunch.
Yoruichi ate lunch with her family and then called Sirzechs. "Sirzechs about 30 minutes ago an arrogant little brat showed up here and tried to force his way into my room and me into his peerage. When I said no he then tried to challenge me to a dual and said that if I won he would leave me alone suffice to say I threatened him with something very unpleasant." She said.
"What was his name?" Sirzechs asked.
"His name is Riser Phoenix." She replied.
Sirzechs face palmed before answering. "Yoruichi you shouldn't have done that. He is nobility in the underworld and member of the 72 pillars, his family may try to force you as punishment for your actions."
"If that happens Sirzechs then you can explain to them why it would be a very bad idea, or you can explain to the 72 pillars why my fiancé and three more very pissed off soul reapers plus four Quincy will begin tearing the underworld apart one piece at a time. We informed you of our feelings the day we met you and that still stands. I will inform Ichigo of this when he returns and you will inform them and every other noble house that my family and I are off limits because if I or any member of my family are approached by one more devil regardless of what house they are from I will leave a trail of dead bodies in my wake. I hope I am making myself clear Sirzechs Lucifer. SLAM!" Yoruichi said as she slammed the phone down.
Sirzechs office five minutes later
"Grayfia we're going to the Underworld to see Lord and Lady Phoenix get out of that maids outfit and into something more appropriate." Sirzechs said.
Five minutes later, they were in the Underworld at the Phoenix Mansion.
"Lord and Lady Phoenix we need to talk, would you contact your son Riser please?" Sirzechs asked.
"Certainly Lucifer-sama and you are right we do need to talk." Lord Phoenix said.
When Riser finally arrived Sirzechs asked, "Riser do you have any idea what you just did?"
"All I tried to do was invite her into my peerage." Riser said.
"I am sorry Riser but she paints a very different picture. Lady Shihoin called me right after the incident and told me what you did or tried to do, she was quite angry. She threatened war with the Underworld if you ever came near her or anyone she cared about ever again and she has the power to back it up. I already tried to get her to join my peerage and she refused, as did her companions. Lady Shihoin is engaged and she saw what you did as a violation and an intrusion into her private life. She threatened to kill you if you ever tried anything like that again. Lady Shihoin also said that she will inform her fiancé of this incident and if you think for one minute that your parents or I can protect you from his wrath, you are dead wrong he is stronger than I am. He could snap me in half like a twig without even trying." Sirzechs said.
At that admission, Riser went pale. "I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! OH! SHIT! I'M GONNA DIE!" Riser mentally screamed as he began to sweat.
"Lucifer-sama we would like to meet this Lady Shihoin. If she is who I think she is my idiot son got off easy." Lady Phoenix said glaring at Riser for his stupidity.
"Very well Lady Phoenix I will take you to her." Sirzechs said.
As they were getting ready to leave, Serafall ran up to them along with Sona, Rias and their Peerages.
"Sirzechs-Chan, I hear there was some excitement involving Riser earlier mind if I ask what it was." Serafall said.
"Nothing much Riser here made a complete fool of himself and nearly plunged us into a war we would have no hope of winning all because of his ignorance and stupidity." Sirzechs said.
"That isn't all that surprising nii-sama he always has been an arrogant and narcissistic fool, I hope you now understand why regardless of the outcome our rating game I will not marry him I would sooner kill myself than let that fool touch me." Rias said which shocked everyone even Riser.
"What's wrong Riser does the truth hurt?" Sona said as Riser just looked as if his world just ended.
"You need not worry about that Rias. Due to his recent behavior, I have had our parents cancel your engagement. However, the rating game will continue as a form of punishment for Riser. I have chosen a champion to fight against him either one on one or Riser can use his entire peerage against him it makes little difference." Sirzechs said.
"Rias what have I done to make you feel this way?" Riser asked.
"What have you done!?" Rias said shocked that he would ask such a question, "Well let's see you're selfish, arrogant, and narcissistic basically you care only about yourself. You treat women like objects for you to possess or toys for you to play with, and rumor has it that you are not only extremely abusive to your peerage to the point where your Queen Yubelluna is completely submissive towards you and you sleep with nearly every woman you get into your bed. Is that enough or should I continue?" Rias stated before turning her back on him.
After that outburst, they all disappeared in a magic circle and soon re-appeared in front of Ichigo's penthouse suite.
Sirzechs stepped up and rang the doorbell, DING DONG!
Kukaku came to the door dripping wet and wearing a red and black 2-piece string bikini. "Hello Sirzechs to what do we own the pleasure." She said standing there as she crossed her arms under her huge DD breasts. (AN: yes before Orihime died, she restored Kukaku's missing arm.)
"We are actually here to see Yoruichi can you get her for us Kukaku-San." Sirzechs replied as Unohana walked in wearing a sky blue bathrobe as she had just gotten out of the shower as she still had a towel hanging around her neck.
"Yeah I'll get her, she's on the deck outside her room sunbathing. You must be Riser. You really pissed her off kid, you are lucky you left here with your head. I'm pretty sure if she had lost control of her temper you'd be dead right now, Wait here I'll be right back." Kukaku said.
Just then, everyone heard the angelic voice of Yachiru Unohana, "You must be Riser Phoenix."
"Yes I am." He replied. Just then, she disappeared in a blur of speed so fast no one could keep up and re-appeared right in front of him so everyone present could see the murderous grin on her face. She had one of her signature throwing knives at Riser's throat and said, "What you did took balls and I will admit you've certainly got a huge pair but, pull another stunt like that again and I will personally dissect you before sending what's left of you back to your parents in a shoe box, understand Phoenix-san." She told him with an aura that said move and you die.
She turned around and left as Yoruichi came in took one look at Riser and lost it.
"RISER!" she yelled as her reiatsu went so high that everyone who was not an ultimate class devil or higher could hardly breathe. She backed off when she saw two devils on the ground that she recognized she had not seen them in forty years.
"Minerva, Holt is that you?" She asked. As they raised their heads, so she could see.
"Yes Yoruichi it's us." They replied, "What are you doing in Kuoh?" they asked.
"We are just passing through on our way to Kyoto." Yoruichi replied as she gave both of her old friends a hug.
"We heard our son tried to force you into his peerage this afternoon." Minerva said.
"Yes. Wait that conniving little twerp is your kid! Well that is surprising." Yoruichi said.
"Oh. In what way?" Holt asked.
"Well considering the fact that whenever you and Minerva came to Karakura to visit you were always kind, considerate, and perfect gentleman. Riser is the exact opposite of you so much so in fact that I almost killed the little bastard on principle." Yoruichi said giving Riser a glare.
"Riser Phoenix. I have already informed my fiancé of your behavior and he said that he is looking forward to a nice long chat with you and Sirzechs when he returns. If I were you, I would be on my best behavior and try not to screw anything else up between now and then if you know what is good for you. The only reason I do not destroy you here and now is that your parents and I have been close friends for many years. I suggest you keep that in mind and thank your parents later, they just saved your life." Yoruichi said.
Riser was as white as a sheet at what she just said and simply nodded his head as he was afraid to speak.
Flashback
In the underworld, Ichigo's phone was vibrating. BUZZ! BUZZ! He was fortunate the Kisuke merged he smart phone with a soul pager before the war really got started saying he would need it, and he was right he did need it. In the weeks leading up the end of the war Ichigo had gone on many covert ops missions with Soifon and Yoruichi to gather Intel on Aizen's and Yhwach's forces and what they were up to and he learned to always keep his phone on vibrate as a result.
"Hello." Ichigo said.
"Hello Ichigo." Yoruichi said. The way she said it he could tell something was wrong.
"Hey Kitten. You alright?" He replied.
"Physically yes, mentally no. When are you coming home? I miss hugging my strawberry." She said playfully.
"What Happened?" he asked.
"We had one of the local devils stop by and he practically tried to force me into his peerage. He put his foot in the door so I couldn't close it and then he tried to force me through trickery, he said that if I had a dual with him and won he would leave me and our family alone but if he won I would become his servant. Since you know me pretty well I am sure you can guess what my response was." She said.
"Yeah. I am sure; you kicked his ass and sent him packing with his tail between his legs. But should you see him again make sure you voice my displeasure to both him and Sirzechs and that we will be having a nice long chat when I return." Ichigo said.
"I will but please hurry the girls and I are awfully cold at night without our strawberry to keep us warm." She said.
"I will. It shouldn't be too much longer maybe another two days, three at the most." Ichigo replied.
"Okay Ichigo. Just promise me you will be careful Ichigo. I love you." Yoruichi said.
"I will. Give Unohana, Kukaku, Ururu and my sisters a hug and a kiss for me and I will see you all in a few days. I love you Yoruichi." He replied as he ended the call.
Flashback End
"Yoruichi I am truly sorry for my son's actions this afternoon, it will not happen again will it Riser." Minerva said.
"No mother it will not happen again." He replied as his parents, sister and older brother were glaring at him.
"See that it doesn't Riser, or next time I won't be as forgiving." Yoruichi said.
As their get together was coming to an end in the underworld Ichigo's mission was about to officially begin.
"Well no time like the present let's get this this started so I can get home to my family and a warm bed." Ichigo thought.
