A/N: Sorry that it took so long to update. But when I started working on this chapter my PC died… So, yeah, shit happened. Anyway, enjoy!
Chapter 10: Greed!
In the dark night sky, the full moon shined upon a city, and the moonlight reflected on broken pieces of glass in a penthouse. The sound of footprints stepping on the glass making a cracking noise echoed through the hall. Drops of blood dripped from the ceiling, a lone figure sat on a chair while brewing tea, he added a bit of honey and milk before stirring the tea with a spoon. Gently he tapped the spoon on the tea cup, put it down and took a sip.
"Ah, nothing like a good cup of tea after a hard day of work." The voice was slight deep and masculine, he leant back on his chair while looking up. Up in the ceiling were fifty dead bodies hung around with very thin strings digging through their flesh, the strings were barely visible thanks to the moonlight shining on them. "Dead body guards, check. Dead drug lord, check. Delicious tea," The man took a sip from his tea cup. "check. Mission complete." The man laid back and admired his own handywork.
As the man let out a relaxed sigh, something in his pocket started to ring. "Now what?" The man reached into his pocket and brought out a little device similar to a cellphone. He pressed a button and up came an image. "A new target?" The man put on a pair of glasses and inspected the details. "Shit, this kid can't be more than fifteen years old, and someone wants me to kill him. Hmm, what's this?" He straightened his glasses to be sure he read a part right. "A devil? This kid is a high-class devil?"
"…"
"…"
"Is this some kind of prank? There is no way devils are real…" The man browsed through the details of the mission, and found another picture of the target, this time with giant bat like wings sticking out from his back. "… No fricking way. According to my device this picture hasn't been tampered with." The man looked amazed at this discovery, he regained his composure. "The request is anonymous, but damn that's a lot of cash." The man smirked as he looked at the number on the reward. "Okay then, Itachi Sitri, you are now my target."
The man twitched his right index finger, as the bodies on the ceiling got torn to pieces, and the strings flew down around him along with the body parts. It appeared as the strings were attached to this man's fingertips. He walked out to the broken window as the moon light shined upon him. He had dark brown slicked back hair, and was cleanly shaved. He was dressed in a black butler outfit and he wore white gloves, his glasses reflected from the moon light and over his dark brown eyes. "Hmm, how do I even get to hell to find him? Oh, wait, it says on the information he sometimes visits the human world, Japan mostly. Guess I'm going to the Land of the Rising Sun… Maybe I will stop by one of those maid cafes, that sounds fun." The man said with a small chuckle as he leaped out from the penthouse.
The next day: Underworld, Sitri castle
A tremor was felt all around the Sitri castle, sitting in his office was Lord Sitri taking a sip of coffee, while the chandelier over him was shaking in rhythm with the room. Books fell out from the bookshelf, his lamp fell to the ground and broke. Yet Lord Sitri didn't seem bothered, he just sat there while going over some documents. "Oh, that was close." Lord Sitri tapped his finger onto the desk as a drop of water expanded and caught the chandelier before it fell over him, and gently placed it on the floor in front of his desk. "Now then, where was I? Ah yes! I need to schedule my next drinking party with Lord Gremory." The document was filled with lists of drinks they would drink, party games they would play, and a chart over territory that wouldn't matter much if he lost to Lord Gremory in a betting game.
A knock was heard on the door, and before Lord Sitri could respond, his wife Lady Sitri walked in. "Dear, why is the chandelier on the floor?" Lady Sitri asked with a deadpan expression.
"Huh? Oh, it fell from all this shaking." Lord Sitri replied to which Lady Sitri just looked even more annoyed at her husband.
"Dear, don't tell me you forgot to put a defensive barrier around the castle?" Lady Sitri asked to which Lord Sitri grew silent while taking a long sip from his coffee, as drops of sweat started to fall from his face. "You did, didn't you?" Lady Sitri gave a cold glare to her husband which made him pale a little.
"M-Maybe…" Lord Sitri nervously replied and swung his finger as magic circles expanded around him and around the room, and expanded further around the castle, and the shaking stopped.
Lady Sitri let out a sigh while rubbing her temple. "Honestly, it almost seems as you want our castle to crumble to the ground…" Lady Sitri uttered in disappointment.
"I-I just forgot… darling, my sweet honey, my sexy little devil mistress-" Lord Sitri was blasted to the ground by a wave of magic power from his wife, leaving his twitching body on the floor, while his wife glared at him while blushing madly.
"I-I told you not to call me that!" Lady Sitri shouted while trying to regain her composure and getting over her embarrassment, she was mostly embarrassed at herself. That after a few hundred years of being married to Lord Sitri she still felt embarrassed of him talking "dirty" to her. Although Lord Sitri just found that side of her adorable.
"Ah, as I was going to say, I was busy with some important, umm… documents." Lord Sitri casually hid away his plans of a drinking party with Lord Gremory behind his back, yet that did not escape his wife's glance.
She glared at his right arm that was holding said documents behind his back, she then looked over to his suspicious looking face. "… And what might be the content of these documents?"
"Ah?! Oh… umm, a nice lady wanted to open a bakery in our territory and… this is all for planning!" Lord Sitri avoided eye contact with his wife as he hoped she wouldn't notice his lie. He knew more than anything that his wife hated it when he got drunk with Lord Gremory, and how they would bet parts of their territory in their games. And since he was the face of the Sitri household, and was supposed to be good role model for his children, she couldn't let him look like a fool. Unfortunate for him, Lady Sitri knew that whenever he lied or tried to hide something, he would avoid eye contact.
"Oh? Then you wouldn't mind if I took a look?" Lady Sitri walked towards her husband whom tried to hide behind the fallen chandelier, that instantly flew back up into the ceiling and reattached itself, the broken lamp repaired itself and flew back up on his desk, the books flew back into the shelf. Lady Sitri used her magic power to fix the room. "Well?" She had a dangerous look as she walked closer to her husband whom was backing up against his desk.
"Umm, well, umm, this isn't something you should worry about darling, I got it covered… I swear…" Lord Sitri looked like a frightened dog having done something bad, and was being scolded by its owner.
Lady Sitri responded with a mere cold glare, that brought shivers down her husbands' spine. "Give it." She ordered with her right hand stretched out.
"Y-Yes ma'am…" Lord Sitri gave up, he started trembling in fear as his wife read the document, he looked even more terrified when she lifted her face up from the document and smiled. "Have mercy…"
After a few moments of scolding her husband, Lady Sitri let out a sigh while a censored pile that was Lord Sitri laid in the background. "You know what how I feel about you betting our territories. It makes you seem unprofessional."
"Didn't think it would matter… seeing as Itachi and Rias are engaged and all…" The censored pile that was Lord Sitri uttered, as his son and Lord Gremory's daughter were engaged, and that would mean it wouldn't matter if they lost a bit of their territory, is what both these lords were thinking.
"Do you remember what he said? Itachi is only doing this so that Rias-chan won't have to marry that Raiser Phenex, and that after that she is free to chose whom she wishes to be with." Lady Sitri pointed out the fault in her husband's argument.
"True, but seeing as our son is the one, she wants to marry. I would imagine it only being a matter of time before they both started to like each other. I mean, he clearly has a soft spot for her." Lord Sitri smirked, and Lady Sitri couldn't help but agree. Itachi never was very social, and yet Rias had managed to find a way to get close to him, and become as precious to him as Sona and Serafall.
"Speaking of Itachi, he sure has gathered strong peerage members." Lady Sitri looked down as they heard what sounded like explosions coming from the lower training area. "To think they can cause this kind of ruckus from a mere training session." The tremors from before seemed to have been Itachi and his peerage undergoing training.
Meanwhile, down in the training room, an army of fallen angels' simulations flew towards a fifteen-year-old Itachi and his four peerage members, Kuroka, Bob whom was in his 23-hour state, Jack and Harry. "Formation B!" Itachi instructed and his peerage members moved in separate directions besides Bob whom brought his hand behind his back, gathering up a lot of strength.
Kuroka and Harry flew up in front of the fallen angels, Kuroka blasting a barrage volley of blue fire, while the old man Harry summoned forth his Flame Sword of Pride and gave it a swing sending a slice wave of blazing fire. Jack flew over the angels, gathering as much power as she could. "This wasn't a part of the formation, nya." Kuroka pointed out to Harry.
"If your aim was better kitty, perhaps I wouldn't have needed to interfere." Harry replied.
"Rebellion!" Jack summoned forth at least a hundred different kinds of swords and sent them flying down onto the fallen angels, taking a bunch of them out. Jack then fell into Harry's arm looking exhausted from having used too much power. A group of 30 fallen angels' simulations attacked them, and then suddenly froze into blocks of ice, that shattered into pieces along with them. As Itachi flew behind them with his arms stretched forward with magic circles formed on his palms.
"Scatter!" Itachi ordered as they flew to the side leaving the remaining in the pathway of Bob, and Harry whom flew next to Bob forming a massive sphere of fire from the tip of his sword. And Itachi landed between them directing his palm at the remaining simulations forming a massive magic circle.
Bob swung his arm forward sending a massive shockwave of pure power, Harry blasted the fire sphere into the mix incinerating most of them, leaving a few left that were taken down by a gigantic dragon made out of water from Itachi. "Simulation level 100, complete, well done!"
"That was an army of fallen angels? Hmm, I'm not impressed." Harry boasted with pride in his tone as his sword vanished.
"Well, they were at low, mid and high-class level, and there were 3,000 of them." Bob said and then suddenly shrunk into his normal self, as one hour had passed. "I think that's enough training for today." Bob rubbed his eyes, while letting out a yawn.
"Did we do good?" Jack jumped onto Itachi, holding onto him like a monkey.
"You all did well." Itachi smiled and petted the top of Jack's head. "Although all of us still have somethings to work on, like your stamina for example." Itachi said to Jack and then looked out on everyone else. "Kuroka you need to work on your aim, some of those fireballs missed. Bob, you need to gather your energy faster. And Harry you need to learn to rely on others more, you are not alone out there."
"And what of you?" Harry looked down on Itachi. "That last attack wasn't exactly timed with ours."
"That is true, I also need to work on our formations and time my attacks right, no one is perfect and that includes you and me." Itachi had been used to formations that required less people, during his ANBU days he only had two subordinates, and during his Akatsuki days he only had one partner. Then again, back in those days there were cases of Itachi preferring to do things by himself rather than rely on help from others. A fault he has steadily learned to correct, a fault Harry needs to work on.
"Well, time to hit the showers, nya! Want me to accompany you, Itachi-sama?" Kuroka hugged Itachi's right arm between her breasts while giving him a seductive look, yet Itachi showed no special reaction, he only gave her a polite smile, he was sadly used to this by now.
"No thank you Kuroka, you should just go with Jack, the three of us will go later." Itachi turned down the offer, and Kuroka responded with a cute pout.
"Mmm, come on then Jack-chan." Kuroka called the little girl that was still latched onto Itachi.
"We want to go with mama." Jack replied bluntly.
"Jack, go with Kuroka." Itachi quickly turned down Jack's hopes causing her to pout, and finally gave up as she went with Kuroka.
Once the three male members of the peerage were alone, Bob decided to change the topic. "So, are you excited to check out the high school you will be attending next year?" Later today Itachi had planned with Sona, Rias and Akeno to check out Kuoh Academy as they would be starting there next year.
"Should I?" Itachi questioned with a raised brow, he didn't see what there was to be excited about, it was just school.
"Sona, Rias and Akeno sure are. By the way, you haven't seen her or the others for a few weeks now, right? You must look forward to seeing them again, I'm sure they feel the same also." It was true, due to Itachi's training schedule, Rias looking for new peerage members with Sona. He has barely had time with either of them, well he had at least been with Sona from time to time during these few weeks. But that is mostly because they are siblings and live together.
"Hn, it will be good to be reunited with them again. I wonder what kind of new peerage members they have picked up." Itachi replied with a little smile, he especially thought of Rias, Akeno and Koneko. He wondered if they were doing alright.
"Will it be strange for you? Seeing as you will be the very first male student to attend Kuoh Academy?" Bob decided to change the topic.
"Well, I did grow up with only my two sisters around, plus Rias. I assume it wouldn't be any different." Itachi replied not really seeming that interested, the only reason he is attending is because both Rias and Sona wished for him to. 'Although… if it will be like the ninja academy… I kind of fear the potential fan girls.' Itachi thought as a shiver ran down his spine at the memories.
"Hn, if I didn't know any better, I would say you look frightened." Harry smiled a little out of amusement as he noticed Itachi shivering for a second there. "The only question I have is what the rest of us will be doing. I mean Bob and I are too old for high school, well Bob could pass off for a high school student if he stayed a shrimp." Harry looked down on Bob whom looked unamused of being called shrimp, yet he was too nervous to give a reply to the comment.
"Well, Kuroka will most likely attend the year after that. She still needs to catch up on her studies, same with Jack but that might take a little longer, considering she needs to not only learn her studies, but improve her social skills. As for you two… I'm not so sure. Harry could probably get a job as a chef, maybe you could work in the school cafeteria?"
"Hn, certainly. I will feed those brats the best meal they have ever had in their lives." Harry beamed with pride in his voice.
Now Itachi pondered on what to do with his remaining servant. "Bob, did you ever finish high school?"
"Umm, well I didn't have the best grades… and I didn't really finish either…" Bob rubbed the back of his head looking a little embarrassed.
"I see, hmm, this might be problematic…" Itachi kept on thinking what to do with his pawn.
"Couldn't he just attend college? He is of proper age for that at least." Harry suggested.
"College? But like I said I don't think my grades would be good enough to get me in…" Bob replied.
"You could always get in on a scholarship, I'm certain Japan has that. You could maybe get in on a sport scholarship. Are there any sports you are particular good in?" Harry asked the little petite nervous young man.
"Umm, well, I'm good at boxing… a-and basketball…" Bob uttered and Harry looked like he would almost laugh when the word "boxing" was mentioned considering it came out of Bob while looking like a frail young boy.
"That could work, Kuoh Academy has a college program, we could check if you could get in on a boxing scholarship, or basketball. I'm certain father could pull some strings, same with Lord Gremory, they are in charge of the territory after all." Itachi looked satisfied as they had come to a solution to that problem, now onto problem two. "By the way, do any of you have any thoughts on a new peerage member?"
"Well, according to Kuroka nothing special has been reported for a potential candidate. And I got nothing either…" Bob replied with a small nervous chuckle.
"Hmm, I might have something, although it still remains uncertain." Harry rubbed his chin, pondering on the thought. "Or maybe not…"
"I see, well we can figure that one out later." Itachi let out a small sigh, once the girls were finished showering the guys went in and showered as well. And once that was finished, they went into the elevator leading up. Upon exiting the elevator, they were met with maids and butlers lined up in a row on each side, and a figure walked up to them bowing before Itachi.
"Itachi-sama, Serafall-ojousama has requested that I accompany you and Sona-ojousama to the human world." The figure was an old man with silver grey hair and a beard, he wore glasses with black frames and wore a yellow shirt with an orange green striped t-shirt underneath, and he had a blue hat on his head.
"So, nee-san sent her most trusted servant, it's been awhile, Behemoth-sensei." Itachi spoke with a respectful tone towards this old man, and his servants all rose their brows in confusion upon hearing Itachi use the words "sensei" to this old geezer.
"Itachi-sama, who exactly is this? Nya?" Kuroka questioned and Behemoth sent her a short glare.
"This is Behemoth, he is a part of Serafall nee-san's peerage. He was also the one nee-san gave the job to when it came to teaching me magic." Itachi replied and besides Jack and Harry they bowed to the old man.
"So, this is your peerage, Itachi-sama? Heh, they look like a sorry bunch, not worthy of serving you or the noble Sitri household." Behemoth gave a look of disapproval at Itachi's peerage members to which they all naturally looked offended.
"What was that?!" Kuroka hissed in anger.
"Old man is making us angry." Jack narrowed her cold gaze at the man and was about to summon forth a blade.
"…" Bob looked too nervous to give a reply, yet he sent the man a glare.
A large thud was felt as Harry walked up to Behemoth and bent down to his eye level. "You'd be wise not to look down on me and the others, puny demon." A wave of heat was felt coming from Harry to which Behemoth raised his brow a little and smirked.
"My, my, Itachi-sama, although this one has power suited for your peerage, he lacks discipline. I would expect better from an elderly gentleman such as himself." Behemoth remained unfaced and unaffected by the pressure coming from Harry.
"Stand down, Behemoth is at the same level as Grayfia "the Strongest Queen" if not slightly stronger. Fighting him here will only result in a demolished castle, a scenario I want to avoid." Itachi ordered although Harry did not budge and kept glaring at Behemoth. "Also, Behemoth. I don't appreciate that comment about my peerage, I can assure you they are all more than worthy." Itachi stepped in between Harry and Behemoth.
Behemoth let out a little sigh as he didn't seem wanting to argue with Itachi. "Very well then, I shall stand down although so far I'm not impressed." Behemoth sent a quick glare at Harry and turned back to Itachi, with a look of admiration. "I must say, you've grown up a lot since the last time I saw you. It brings tears of pride to this old teacher's eye. At this rate, your strength and power will grow into that fitting to be the Head of the Sitri! No, one of the next four Maous! I know Serafall-ojousama thinks so as well!" Behemoth wiped away a small tear from his right eye, like a parent seeing their child grow up into an adult.
"I have no interest in being one of the four Maous, also tell nee-san that we don't require your assistant." Itachi said and Behemoth's hopes and dreams looked like they had been destroyed in one fell swoop, as he fell to his knees.
"I must insist! Itachi-sama! Serafall-ojousama only wants to make sure you and Sona-ojousama are safe!" Behemoth instantly got back up and protested.
"We are just going to the human world, nee-san worries too much." Itachi replied with his usual stoic expression, seeming used to his sensei's personality. "Now if you will excuse me, I have to meet up with Sona and Rias." Itachi walked past his old sensei whom was on his knees once more, while Kuroka snickered mockingly at Behemoth while following Itachi, Jack jumped onto Itachi's back, Bob quickly ran after them and Harry looked at Behemoth before giving a small mocking smirk and then he followed the others.
"How did you meet that old geezer anyway? Nya?" Kuroka questioned.
"Well, it all started back when I was four years old." Itachi thought back on after the very first meeting he had with Ajuka Beelzebub.
Flashback 10 years ago:
A four-year-old Itachi, stood with Serafall and before them stood Behemoth. Serafall beamed while holding onto Itachi's shoulders. "It-tan, this is my servant Behemoth. He is going to train you in using magic and to perfect your demonic power." Serafall had hired Behemoth to train Itachi after Itachi had revealed his dream during his examination with Ajuka Beelzebub about his eyes, and when Itachi requested a special training chamber so that he could get stronger and reach his goal. Despite thinking of this as a child's dream, Serafall still wanted to encourage Itachi to grow stronger.
Itachi gave a polite bow to his new sensei. "I will be in your care then, Behemoth-sensei." Itachi gave a polite smile at Behemoth whom smiled back.
"Don't you worry Serafall-ojousama, I will make sure your little brother gets the best of treatment, we shall also see what kind of potential this young boy has. Come now young master." Behemoth lead the way to the training room.
It didn't take long for Itachi to impress the old devil, despite his age Itachi had good control over his demonic power and magic elements, not to mention teleportation, and his physical strength far exceeded that of children his age, and he kept impressing the old man after weeks of training. The young Itachi span his body rapidly shooting a rapid fire of water projectiles the hit all targets dead center and broke them into pieces. And then formed a water dragon out from the formed water projectiles, sending it flying into a steel wall breaking it apart.
"Marvelous! Absolutely marvelous Itachi-sama!" Behemoth beamed with a smile and clapped his hands. After this Behemoth started to view Itachi as his precious student, and was almost as overprotective as Serafall. The old devil would stop by to train Itachi whenever he had time, and when he was not on jobs from Serafall, sometimes the old man would stop by 10 times a year, and the rest Itachi would practice what he had learned by himself, and would impress Behemoth upon their next encounter. Behemoth instantly acknowledged Itachi's potential, and started proudly stating that Itachi would one day grow into being stronger than Sirzechs Lucifer himself.
Flashback end
"And that's about it…" Itachi finished the explanation to Kuroka, she didn't seem to expect anything less from a member of the overprotective and doting Serafall Leviathan's peerage.
"He didn't seem that strong to us. Didn't look strong either." Jack pointed out, still latched onto Itachi's back.
"Well, he didn't show his true power, he doesn't usually tend to do that. Although I can assure you, he is quite strong. And to be fair, you don't exactly look powerful yourself, Jack." Itachi retorted with a slight amused smile at Jack whom responded by pouting cutely. "And if he had showed his true form, you might change your opinion on that."
"True form?" Harry questioned with a raised brow.
"Behemoth is known as Magical Beast King of the Earth, what you saw was more of a relaxed state of his." Itachi replied and decided to change the subject. "Now, enough about my old sensei. About the trip, I am going to a meeting with the academy considering my "special" situation as the first male that will attend Kuoh. And Sona and Rias are going to have a look around town, you yourselves can pick whom you would like to accompany, or if you even want to tag along at all."
"I will go with you, I might as well ask if they are hiring anyone to work as a chef." Harry stated.
"We will go where mommy goes." Jack replied, and then Kuroka whispered something into Jack's ear.
"You might not wanna join him on the meeting, it will be boring anyway." Kuroka whispered seeing as it wouldn't do Itachi any good if they saw a little girl clinging onto him like that on school grounds.
"Hmm, okay, we shall accompany Kuroka." Jack changed her mind when she heard it would be boring.
"Well, I think it's obvious I will be walking around town. Nya." Kuroka said.
"I-I think I will go with you, to check on that scholarship thing…" Bob uttered.
"Scholarship?" Kuroka raised a brow in confusion.
"Bob is going to check if he can get a scholarship so that he can apply for college next year." Itachi cleared away the confusion. "Okay then, gather around everyone. Rias and Sona are already in the human world waiting for us." They all gathered around their master, as Itachi prepared a teleportation magic circle, and they all vanished in a flash.
Human world: Kuoh Town
Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Sona, Tsubaki, Momo and three others were waiting by a fountain in a park. One of the three was a handsome young man with short blond hair and blue eyes, he had a mole underneath his left eye. He stood by Rias, Akeno and Koneko, while smiling and looking rather friendly.
The two others were both young women, one had shoulder length reddish-brown hair and brown eyes, she looked rather cheerful as she kept moving her legs back and forth while sitting on a park bench. The other girl was rather tall with shoulder length blue hair and matching eyes, she looked rather tomboyish. She politely stood next to Tsubaki and Sona.
"He should be here by now." Rias looked frustrated and annoyed as she kept checking her watch to check the time.
"Calm down, he promised he would be here. And knowing onii-sama he will be here." Sona looked rather calm, although inside she hoped that Itachi hadn't forgotten about today, although she knew it was highly unlikely.
"I think this will be the first time I even meet your big bro." The cheerful reddish-brown haired girl said looking rather excited.
"Indeed, I think this will be my first time meeting him as well." The blue haired tomboy said.
"Well, the two of you have only been in my peerage for a week now. Tomoe, Tsubasa." Sona spoke to her two new peerage members, the cheerful one was named Tomoe Meguri, and the tomboy was named Tsubasa Yura.
"What do the two of you know about Itachi-sama?" Tsubaki asked her two new comrades.
"Heard he is a lot like master Sona, only more emotionless and stoic. But that he is a really nice guy, really responsible, smart, and really handsome." Tomoe summarized what she had heard about her master's older twin brother.
"I have mostly heard the same, that and that he is very strong." Tsubasa replied.
"Well, that is mostly what most people think of him." Sona smiled a little.
"I think this will be my first time meeting your fiancé as well, lady Rias." The young man smiled kindly at his master.
"Mm, I think he and you will get along just fine, Yuuto. He really is a wonderful guy." Rias smiled at her new knight whom she has had for about almost a month, he's name was Kiba Yuuto.
"Seems they are here." Akeno pointed out as a glowing blue magic circle appeared on the ground, and out came five figures.
"Made it just in time." Itachi stepped out with Kuroka next to him, and Jack latched onto his back like a monkey. Harry stood tall behind them, and Bob hid behind the tall old man's leg.
"Good to see you have finally arrived, onii-sama." Sona acted formally in front of her peerage members while standing before her older brother.
"You know, seeing you acting all formal like this is kind of strange. Considering how you normally are." Itachi smiled out of amusement and petted the top of Sona's head.
"H-Hey, st-stop it…" Sona blushed out of embarrassment feeling her servants' gazes at her.
"T-That's new…" Tsubasa uttered looking surprised of seeing her master's behavior.
"Lady Sona looks so cute though, she should just act like that all the time." Tomoe let out an amused giggle, while Momo looked amused at seeing their reactions to this, and Tsubaki remained stoic and silent. Tomoe's attention quickly turned to the petite shy little Bob hiding behind the old man. "Aw, who is this little cutie?" She instantly moved towards the petite little Bob whom looked spooked.
"U-Umm, I'm… Umm…" Bob stuttered being too nervous to reply to a stranger.
"That is Bob, he is my pawn." Itachi introduced.
"Eh? This little cute guy is in Itachi-sama's peerage?" Tomoe bent to Bob's eye level and beamed with a smile. "I'm Tomoe Meguri! I'm Lady Sona's knight! Nice to meet you!" She stretched her hand out to the little man, whom hesitantly reached his hand out, not waiting Tomoe instantly grabbed a hold of Bob's shaking hand and shook it while smiling warmly at him.
"N-Nice to meet you as well…" Bob uttered.
Tsubasa stared at the little petite man looking rather stoic, she couldn't seem to care less. 'He is a part of Itachi-sama's peerage? Hard to believe such a shrimp would catch someone like Itachi-sama's attention.' Tsubasa thought and looked over to her master's older brother. "I am Tsubasa Yura, I'm Sona-ojousama's rook, pleased to meet you, Itachi-sama." Tsubasa bowed politely to the Sitri heir. This caused Tomoe to be aware of the situation and quickly went next to Tsubasa and also bowed politely to Itachi.
"No need to bow, Tsubasa, Tomoe, allow me to welcome you to the Sitri family." Itachi warmly greeted the new additions to the Sitri household.
Both the young women had a look of awe. ""Thank you very much."" They both said in unison.
"Hello, Itachi." Rias walked up to Itachi with Akeno, Koneko and her new knight Kiba not far behind.
"Rias, its good to see you." Itachi warmly smiled at the Gremory princess whom smiled back.
"We haven't had the chance to see each other for a few weeks, I've missed you." Rias gently embraced Itachi in a hug and Itachi returned the hug.
"I've missed you as well, Itachi." Akeno hugged his right arm between her breasts while giving a soft giggle, to which Rias sent a glare at her queen.
"Me too." Koneko stood on Itachi's left looking up at him with a warm smile, to which he returned. Koneko's smile then turned into a frown as she looked at Jack whom was still latched onto Itachi's back. "Get off, monkey."
"Who are you calling a monkey? Kitten?" Jack looked down on the younger nekomata and sparks flew between them.
"Now, now, Shirone." Kuroka embraced Koneko from behind, much to the younger nekomata's annoyance, while Kuroka thought it was just fun to tease her cute little sister. "Onee-chan has been lonely without her little Shirone, nya." Kuroka gave Koneko a little wink, then she looked over to Itachi, Rias and Akeno. "And don't think you can hog Itachi-sama all to yourselves. Nya." Sparks started flying between Kuroka, Rias and Akeno, and poor Itachi whom was caught in the middle of it sweat dropped while letting out a nervous chuckle.
"As you can see, Itachi-sama is quite popular." Momo pointed out to the two dumbfound newcomers in the Sitri household. "Much to someone's annoyance." Momo glanced over to Sona whom without realizing was pouting angrily at what she was seeing.
"Hey! Stop that already and let's get going!" Sona scolded to which they all stopped and looked over at her.
Kuroka gained a smug looking expression. "Aw, the little bro con is jealous. How cute, nya." Kuroka teased to which Sona blushed even more.
"F-For the last time! I am not a bro con!" Sona blushed even more.
"Yeah right, keep telling yourself that. But what if I did this." Kuroka grabbed a hold of Itachi's shirt and ripped it open revealing his well-trained upper body. Kuroka then gently stroked her hand on Itachi's chest, to which Sona's blush grew and she looked infuriated. Although that ended once Itachi gave her a light chop on the head. "Nya!" Kuroka rubbed the top of her head.
"Please stop teasing my little sister, Kuroka." Itachi sighed mentally and used a magic circle to fix his clothes, while the three newcomers look dumbfounded at what they were seeing.
"A-Anyway, I am Kiba Yuuto, I am Lady Rias' new knight." Kiba smiled politely and stretched his hand out.
"Greetings Kiba, a friend of Rias is a friend of mine." Itachi smiled back and shook his hand. "Now, shall we all get going?"
"Itachi… I'm feeling a bit sleepy… could I take a nap?" Bob yawned to which Tomoe looked in awe at the cute little Bob.
"Certainly, would anyone mind carrying him?" Itachi looked around, and before anyone could respond Tomoe picked up Bob, piggybacking him. "Well, that settles that I guess." Itachi said as Bob fell quickly fast asleep.
"Awe, isn't he cute, Tsubasa?" Tomoe looked at her teammate.
"Whatever." Tsubasa shrugged her shoulders.
"There is a few more hours until your meeting with the academy, right?" Rias looked over to her fiancé.
"It starts in about 4 hours, Bob and Harry are going to accompany me there later. In the meantime why don't we all go and take a look around town?"
For the remaining four hours, the group went to look around town, seeing the different shops, cafes, the local park, the apartment complex building Lord Gremory and Lord Sitri had built for Itachi, Sona, Rias and their group to live in when they start attending the academy.
Eventually they walked past a local maid café, and as soon as they were a slight distant away a figure was kicked out from the café. "Hey! What's the big idea?! I'm a paying costumer?!" The figure whom was obviously male from his deep voice questioned looking at the head maid.
"No touching the maids!" The head maid huffed and slammed the door.
"Don't I at least get a "see you later, master"?" The man cried, although he instantly stopped crying as he looked to the side and spotted Itachi. "Huh? Hey… that's…" The man smirked and steadily began his approach. He halted when a man with an "oppai" T-shirt walked by talking to his friend. "Hey, nice shirt." The man started following the "oppai" T-shirt man instead.
Later
Itachi and Harry then walked out from Kuoh Academy after having been through a meeting, and Harry through a job interview. The meeting for Itachi was basically the principle saying how grateful she was for having such a talented young man to start as their first male student. And of course, going through certain rules, schedules, and discussing how they could make a comfortable environment for Itachi and other future male students at the academy.
"So, how did it go?" Itachi looked over at his Rook, whom looked down and huffed with pride.
"Obviously it went well. And I assume it went well for Bob's scholarship?" Harry asked still with a prideful tone, seems the old man had gained respect for Itachi and the rest of the peerage members.
"Yes, father and Lord Gremory said something about pulling some strings so that Bob can get into Kuoh Academy's collage program." Itachi replied and Harry gave proudful smile.
"Shall we meet up with the others?" Harry asked while checking the time.
"They said we would meet up by the nearby bridge, let's go." As Itachi and Harry were walking to meet up with the others, a shadowy figure followed them from the shadows.
Meanwhile, on a bridge. "Shouldn't they be done by now…? Itachi is taking too long." Rias pouted over the fact that her beloved wasn't here with her.
"Calm down, thanks to this meeting he will be able to attend the academy with us next year." Sona said looking calm as ever, but even she started to feel lonely without her older twin brother. They had been nearly inseparable for years since they were born, but this whole peerage business and training stuff had cut into their time for weeks now, to put it in a different way it felt weird being without her brother.
"You say that but I'm sure your all frustrated over not being able to spend the whole day with big brother dearest." Akeno teased the youngest Sitri whom blushed faintly.
"Th-That's not true…" Sona uttered to which everyone gave her a look that said they thought her reaction was cute, besides Bob whom was still asleep on Tomoe's back and Jack whom didn't seem to care.
"We miss mommy…" Jack looked like a lost little child while standing next to Kuroka whom petted the top of her head.
"Don't worry, he will be back. Nya." Kuroka said in a sweet gentle tone, and the newest additions to the group looked confused at Jack's claim of missing her "mommy".
"Uhh…" Tsubasa didn't know how to respond to what little Jack said and looked confused.
"Oh, Jack calls Itachi for mommy. Don't ask why, she just does." Sona explained it to her two new peerage members and Kiba.
"Aww, that's adorable." Tomoe beamed.
"And yet I am not used to it." Itachi and Harry arrived at the scene much to Rias, Sona, Akeno, Kuroka, Koneko and Jack's joy whom instantly latched herself onto him like a little monkey. "I'm sorry, the meeting lasted longer than I expected. Although it went quite well." Itachi said while petting the top of Jack's head much to her joy. "Shall we get going then?"
Before anyone could walk a step, Itachi froze suddenly like he was wrapped up in something. "Hn, strings?" Itachi couldn't see them but he knew they were there from the feeling. He activated his sharingan and he could see the strings wrapped around his body clear as day.
"This whole area is surrounded." Kuroka replied feeling the strings with the help of her senjutsu.
"So, he finally shows himself." Harry utters and the sound of clapping was heard as a figure approached them.
"Took me sometime to find you, devil. Although I must say, this might be easier than expected. That's fine with me though." The figure had messy brown hair, he wore glasses, had a red hat with the initials "DD" on them, and he wore a T-shirt with the word "Oppai" written on it. "But dang the trip made it all worth it. I just love this country!" The man practically sang out.
"Who are you?!" Rias questioned while forming a magic circle in her palm, glaring at the man whom had trapped her beloved.
"Oh! Right, manners, sorry. I'm Damian, and I am an assassin so to speak, or a bounty hunter if you will! Anyway, someone gave me a call, putting a price on this guys head. So, nothing personal, just doin' my job." Damian replied with a carefree grin, not seeming bothered by the power Rias was releasing. "By the way, are you guys also devils? I must say I was super shocked to learn that devils existed, not that I have anything against devils or anything. In fact, if all devil girls look like this, I'm a big fan." Damian gave a wink to which the girls looked disgusted.
"Let him go, or else." Rias gave one last final warning charging up a sphere of destruction.
"Oh, that is so cool!" Damian looked in awe, Rias then blasted the sphere at him and Damian moved his right hand up and his left down, as strings wrapped around Rias attack and negated it into nothingness. Even though Rias held back as it was just a warning shot, they were all still shocked that he was able to negate her attack.
"A Sacred Gear." Sona walked up next to Rias as she analyzed the barely visible threads.
"Hmm, a string based Sacred Gear, if I'm not mistaken it's a Sacred Gear called Piano String. A Sacred Gear said to negate magic based attacks that are less than double of the wielders power." Rias thought back on the studies she had gone through with Itachi and Sona on known Sacred Gears.
"Oh, interesting." Itachi hummed looking emotionlessly at Damian and looking at the strings that came from his fingertips.
"I would say with his level of power, we need to get a little serious. More than half our power should do." Sona analyzed based on the power she felt from Damian.
"Huh? Magic what?" Damian looked dumbfounded not seeming to know that magic even existed. "I just tried to slow down that attack, I had no idea that would happen… cool. Wait, more than half?" Damian started to look a little nervous as Rias formed a larger destruction sphere and Sona gathered waves of water in front of her. "Oh shit!" Damian started to run as the attacks blasted into the spot where he once stood.
"Jack." Itachi called his knight whom was still latched onto him, and tied up into him. "Can you get us out of here?"
"Maybe…" Jack replied.
"…"
"…"
"Then what's stopping you?" Itachi questioned as Jack didn't do anything.
"We don't want to. Mommy feels so warm." Jack looked comfortable as she tightened her embrace on Itachi, to which he sighed.
"Harry, could you maybe get me out?" Itachi looked up at his Rook, whom merely stood still looking at this assassin, not seeming interested in interfering either. "Harry?" Itachi raised his brow wondering what was going through that old man's mind.
Tsubasa unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks at Damian whom countered most strikes, he looked astonished. "Wow, this young lady has some power…" Damian uttered in awe, and then suddenly Koneko appeared behind him and threw a heavy punch that Damian caught. "Oh, aren't you a cutie!" Damian gave a perverted grin that reminded Itachi of Jiraiya.
"Gross." Koneko glared at him and then Damian got blasted in the back by a barrage of blue fire from Kuroka.
"Stay away from my little Shirone. Nya." Kuroka acted like an overprotective older sister, which caused Koneko to blush slightly.
"A cat girl? A real cat girl? Man, you devils seem to just have an awesome life. I want in!" Damian practically sang that last part. "However, the job comes first. Guess I have to get serious." Then at immense speed Damian changed outfit into a black butler outfit, he slicked his hair back and put on white gloves. "Serious mode."
"What the? How did he do that?" Tomoe questioned in surprise, and gently put the sleeping Bob down and summoned forth a normal sword. Tomoe tried to cut through the strings on Itachi but to no avail.
"Don't bother, these strings are not ordinary. Focus on taking him down instead, and be careful his power also increased drastically. He is almost at High-Class devil level." Itachi warned as Damian's power had gone from low-class, to low High-class.
"Then Rias, Sona, Akeno and myself should be stronger than him." Tsubaki said and summoned forth a Naginata.
"Don't use your magic, the four of you don't have enough magic power to take him on. He will be able to negate it, Kuroka, Harry, and I are the only ones here with enough magic power to power through those strings. One of you should take him out." Itachi looked at his Rook and Queen, Kuroka responded by going in for the attack, but Harry stood still.
"Damn, Tsubasa, Tomoe assist Kuroka! The two of you are not magic dominant when it comes to combat!" Sona ordered her servants.
"Koneko! Yuuto! The same goes for you!" Rias ordered her servants.
""Right!"" The four of them replied and charged head on towards Damian with Kuroka in the lead.
"Harry, why aren't you doing anything?" Itachi asked and Harry acknowledged Itachi with a glance in his direction.
"I have my reasons." Harry replied.
"Care to share?" Itachi asked.
"Well, I want to see what the new ones can do. And also, I hired him." Harry said to which Itachi widened his eyes in confusion. "I said I might have someone in mind for a candidate, didn't I?" Harry smiled at Itachi to which Itachi let out a sigh.
"Wish you had filled me in on your plan." Itachi looked at the fight as it seemed to be quite evenly matched. Koneko and Tsubasa were barely able to match Damian for blow to blow, Tomoe and Kiba used their superior speed to try and cut Damian but struggled getting through his strings. And Kuroka sent a barrage fire of blue fire balls that were able to power through the strings, yet Damian avoided them by jumping back.
"This seems like its going to be problematic." Damian uttered and took a quick glance at Itachi whom was still tied up, and at Harry standing tall next to him. 'That old man… I can feel his power from here. He is probably the most dangerous one here. I should kill him now and run.' Damian moved his fingers and the strings tightened around Itachi.
"Jack." Itachi said looking emotionless as always and suddenly the strings holding him were cut.
"What the?" Before Damian could look at the source that cut his strings, he was punched in the face by Tsubasa sending him skidding back. "Not bad." Damian spitted out some blood to the side, and then moved at immense speed for a normal human and punched Tsubasa in the gut making her vomit out a small puddle of blood. "Your strength is close to mine, yet mine is superior. I have trained my body to its physical peak. Devil or not, I won't go down easy." Damian avoided a slice from Tomoe by jumping into the air.
"Sword Birth!" Out from the ground popped up on the ground beneath Damian.
"This is Kiba's Sacred Gear, Sword Birth, he can summon multiple demonic swords. It's almost like Jack's, just a weaker version." Rias explained with pride in her new servant.
"Well shit." Damian uttered as he was falling towards the blades. He extended his arms out and directed them at a safe spot, the strings attached to the ground and Damian pulled himself towards the spot avoiding the blades. "That was close." He then avoided a hit and a kick from Koneko, Damian jumped back and was now being chased by a rapid blast of fire from Kuroka. He then leaped towards the older nekomata and kneed her in the gut making her vomit out a little blood. He then slammed her into the ground, cracking the ground up and sending peddles of rock flying around the area, and one peddle landed on the sleeping Bob's head whom groggily opened his eyes.
"How long has Bob been asleep?" Itachi questioned looking over at his pawn.
"Four hours or a little more." Jack replied as Bob has been mostly asleep for their entire trip.
Bob stands up and walks towards Damian whom is facing Tsubasa, Kiba and Tomoe. "Bob-chan! Don't he is too dangerous!" Tomoe warned and looked confused when she saw everyone else besides her, Tsubasa, Kiba and Damian looked concerned.
"Who is the shrimp?" Damian questioned when suddenly Bob grew taller, and was now taller than Tsubasa and still slightly shorter than Damian. His body also turned more muscular and he slicked his dark bed hair back leaving a single strain of hair over his forehead.
"Wh-What happened to cute little Bob-chan!" Tomoe cried.
"This is Bob's magic ability. Storage Magic, the more he sleeps the stronger he becomes and his body grows. He should return to normal in about 20 hours." Itachi explained considering Bob has slept for about 4 hours according to Jack.
"Wow…" Tsubasa widened her eyes while looking at Bob, whom cracked his neck while facing Damian looking at him with a cold expression.
"You woke me up." Bob glared at the assassin.
"I'm sorry, if I knew this would happen, I would have been more careful." Damian smiled confidently and threw a powerful punch into Bob's chest, and then a mighty right hook to his face sending Bob into the ground.
"At this point, he is mid-class level. Although that can change really easily." Itachi commented and Bob sent him a look.
"Master Itachi."
"Yes Bob, I acknowledge this as enemy territory, now go." Itachi confirmed and Bob let out a blue glow.
"Promotion Queen." Bob uttered as his power increased to that of a high-class devil, he then cracked his knuckles and glared at Damian. "Now, my turn." Bob threw a heavy punch right into Damian's face sending him flying back so far that he almost fell off the bridge. The three new reincarnated Devils looked in awe, particular Tsubasa whom was captivated by Bob's strength, his muscles, his power, that warrior like face. Tsubasa's face grew hotter as she blushed faintly from looking at Bob.
"What the? His power grew… and that punch… he is stronger than me? Is this what devils are capable of?" Damian asked himself while rubbing his jaw.
"I will have you know, I was born human. Master Itachi made me into a devil and a part of his family." Bob said to which Damian widened his eyes.
"You mean he can turn anyone into a devil?" Damian looked intrigued. "Cool."
Bob charged towards Damian, Bob stuck his right palm out, and pulled his arm back. Damian whom moved his hands around as Bob's body was suddenly tied up with a bunch of strings before he could attack. "Like I would let you, I win." Damian smirked as Bob struggled but couldn't even move an inch.
"Bob!" Kuroka shouted as everyone looked worried.
"Jack." Itachi called out.
Rebellion
And the strings around Bob was cut up by little Jack wielding a special white dagger decorated with red lines and letting out a powerful energy. "Huh?" Damian widened his eyes in confusion having been caught off guard by little Jack.
"Thanks Jack." Bob swung his palm forward sending a gigantic shockwave crashing into Damian, sending him flying off the bridge and into the water. "And that ends that." Bob declared victory seeing the knocked-out Damian floating in the water.
"Mm, I still wish he stayed a cute little guy." Tomoe pouted.
"Amazing…" Tsubasa uttered in awe having completely changed her mind about Bob.
Sometime later, Damian woke up looking rather groggy. "Oh, owch, my head… What the?" Damian looked up and saw that the group of devils had surrounded him.
"Who hired you?!" Sona instantly questioned grabbing him by the collar, wanting to know who was after her brother.
"I don't know, it was anonymous." Damian replied not seeming scared or threatened by Sona.
"I hired him." Harry spoke up to which everyone looked shocked besides Itachi and Jack whom heard him say it earlier.
"Explain!" Rias demanded.
"Itachi has been looking for potential peerage members, I figured if I hired Damian, he could demonstrate personally to Itachi what he was capable of." Harry explained himself, and all of them did not look like they were okay with it.
"What if he had killed him?" Kuroka hissed at Harry.
"Oh please, like he could actually kill him. If he tried the boy would be dead in 10 seconds flat." Harry rolled his eyes at that everyone was getting so upset about all this.
"Hey! I could have lasted longer than that!" Damian whined like a little child.
"Heh, you still wouldn't last long. Without any proper intel he would have killed you in the spam of that time." Harry boasted ignoring looking Damian in the eye.
"Aw, the old man is shy." Damian sung in a mocking like tone, and Harry sent him a death glare causing Damian to cower away. "I-It was a joke… a joke… Anyway, this was a fake job?! Aw man! Look I'm the kind of guy whom finishes a job no matter what, so-"
"We won't let you, he is too important to me- I mean us!" Rias said and hugged Itachi's arm, her eyes filled with fiery determination to not let any harm come to him.
"… Okay then, I will not kill him." Damian replied to which they all looked shocked.
"What happened to finish a job no matter what?" Bob questioned with a raised brow.
"Give me a good reason and I will back off, and love is a good reason. I don't kill people who don't deserve it." Damian replied with a gentle like smile.
"Huh, I see." Itachi looked emotionless and then he looked over to Harry. "So, this whole ordeal was so he could show me what he is capable of?"
"That was the idea." Harry replied.
"Who the hell even are you, old man? I have never met you in my entire life and yet you seem to know me." Damian started his own interrogation.
"I am the mighty, Harry Newgate, boy. And as to how I know you, I happened to find you in the local underworld newspaper." Harry replied causing Damian to fall over.
"Well, he does have potential, and skills for a normal human…" Itachi pondered on the thought.
"Anyway, don't I get something for this? Fake job or real job, I still demand payment." Damian rubbed his fingers together while looking at Harry.
"I'm not giving you a cent, you should feel honored that you are even considered to be a part of our family." Harry lectured him like he was a little child.
"What are you now, my father? Get over with the lectures old man and pay me already!" Damian demanded, and then his eyes landed on little Jack. Damian instantly changed back into how he was before he went serious, oppai t-shirt, red hat, messy hair, everything. "She is so adorable!" He lifted Jack up whom stared at him with a stoic expression.
"She is Jack the Ripper." Kuroka pointed out.
"Jack the Ripper? This little thing? She is so innocent, harmless and adorable!" The very next moment Jack stabs him, Damian looks down and then up at Jack. "She is so adorable!" He corrected as she kept stabbing him with a stoic face.
"Hmm, his multi personality thing aside, he does have quite the useful Sacred Gear, if he learns to use it right." Itachi hummed thinking over recruiting this assassin as his newest peerage member.
"He's and idiot, but I'm certain he will pull his weight around." Harry sighed at the young man's behavior.
"Will you tell me first what your relationship is with him?" Itachi asked and he and Itachi walked to the other end of the bridge far away from hearing distance for the others.
Ignoring the scene of Damian still getting stabbed by Jack, Rias, Sona, Akeno and Kuroka look in the direction of Harry and Itachi talking. They see Itachi look shocked for a moment. "What do you think they are talking?" Rias questioned.
"Not sure, although I don't think I have seen onii-san looked that shocked before." Sona replied, despite their amazing hearing they still couldn't hear Itachi and Harry. "Can you hear what they are saying, Kuroka?"
"All I hear is mumbling, can't really make out what it is they are saying though. Nya." Kuroka replied desperately trying to listen in on the conversation.
"Look, they are coming back." Akeno pointed out.
"So how old is he?" Itachi asked while he and Harry were walking back.
"He is 25, according to the add in the newspaper." Harry replied.
"We should probably stop Jack from killing him then." Itachi sighed and they walked back to the others, getting Jack away from the bloodied Damian, yet Damian would not let go.
"Don't worry, I can survive over a hundred stabs thanks to this cuteness…" Damian uttered weakly, looking rather pale from losing blood.
"Jack, stop stabbing him." Itachi spoke like a parent would to a child to make them stop, Jack stopped stabbing Damian and looked over to Itachi with a stoic face. Then Damian tried to reach out a kiss Jack, to which Jack stabbed him again.
"Okay… you win…" Damian lets go and falls into a puddle of his own blood.
"… Well, can't let a life go to waste." Itachi sighed and summoned forth three pawn pieces. "Out of the pieces I have left, I think he would suit to be a pawn." Itachi held out one pawn, no reaction, two, no reaction, and three they started to glow and merged with the fallen assassin's body.
Damian then woke up, looking at himself seeing that all the stab wounds were gone. "What happened?"
"I reincarnated you into a devil, you are now my servant and if you are to disobey and leave you will become a stray devil, and be hunted by other devils. Your job is simple, fulfil requests from humans for payment. When needed hunt down stray devils. I offer you a new home in return and welcome you into my family the Sitri household. All I ask from you is that you do a proper job and remain loyal. I am Itachi Sitri, the next head of the Sitri family. As a devil you also get a boost in power, speed and stamina, you also get wings." Itachi gave a quick summary and Damian seemed to understand it.
"Wait, so I'm a devil now?"
"Yes."
"A-And I can like get way stronger now?" Damian asked as it seemed strength mattered a great deal to him.
"Yes, you can." Itachi replied.
"… That is so cool." Damian smiled as an image of a dead woman in his arms came to his mind. 'Then, never again. I won't lose anyone dear to me ever again with my new power.' Damian clenched his fist, in an attempt to get over his short feeling of sorrow he embraced little Jack in a hug. "What's more if I get to hang around this little cutie! I will remain loyal! Lookin' at her just makes me want to steal her." Damian smirked at Jack whom sent him a cold glare and brought forth a new knife, and Damian started backing away. "Okay, okay, you are a feisty little one aren't ya?"
"Anyway, welcome to my family." Itachi stretched his hand out and Damian looked at it, and then at him.
"You know I tried to kill you, right?" Damian looked confused, bringing up the issue on why he even decided to bring him back.
"Yes, although I think you can be quite useful. Besides, like you said it wasn't anything personal." Itachi didn't really mind, after what he and Harry talked about, he didn't really mind, it was shocking. But still, Damian would need to prove himself to be loyal in the future, we would have to see what would happen.
Meanwhile, from a distant. On top of a building sat a lonely old man that was Behemoth, magic energy gathered into his palm before it faded. "Itachi-sama seems to have picked up yet another servant. That boy should consider himself lucky, if he does anything to hurt Itachi-sama, he shall feel my wrath." Behemoth then vanished in an instant through a magic circle.
That's it for now!
Now, sorry that chapter took so long to make. But like I said at the start of the chapter, my PC died so… yeah. That and I was honestly a little worried with introduction of this character considering he wasn't made only by me, but also by my friend Damien Falls whom has helped me co-write some of my stories before. All the other suggestions for Greed, some were meh, some were interesting but I just couldn't figure out how to use them in the story. Anyway, the character of Damian has some characteristics of Ban from Seven Deadly Sins, and some other unique traits as well.
Damian has two states, or personalities. One where he is a calculative and skilled assassin, and one where he is more laid back, energetic and perverted. I didn't have time to include his entire background in this chapter, which I might continue with in the next chapter or save it for another time.
Also, in the next chapter there won't be a new sin introduction, it will be about Itachi, Rias, Akeno and Tsubaki's first day at Kuoh Academy as first years, and Itachi's experience as the very first male student to ever attend Kuoh Academy, wish him good luck folks!
Also, I am open for suggestions for Serafall's peerage! Since the only one confirmed is Behemoth.
Oh, and Damian will be the Racoon Sin of Greed. Jack is the Cobra Sin of Wrath. And Harry is the Eagle Sin of Pride.
And one more thing in regards to future updates, in about two weeks from now I will be going to Japan. And I won't really have time to write, I will be in Japan for about 17 days. So, I won't have time to write until I come back. I might try and update this story in the spam of those two weeks before I leave, but I can't make any promises.
Anyway, leave a review!
-Later!
(Responds to reviews)
a guy1013: Weird can be good though, right? Anyway, sorry that it took so long.
EmilyGonzalez: Thanks!
RedBurningDragon: Hmm, maybe, we'll see.
nickclause: Thanks!
AfterlifeXD: Thanks! I was thinking Eto will be the last peerage member Itachi recruits.
Kyle Vittoria: By the time we reach the cannon timeline I can say Itachi will be around the level of Shalba and Kokabiel. He won't be around Ophis and Great Red's level until the ending of this story, if I decide to make him that strong by the end.
human dragon: Thanks!
merendinoemiliano: Thanks!
Guest: Huh, well bye then.
andresskorskiruiz: Thanks! And Esdeath, possess a problem with how she is from a more middle age time period instead of the time line of DxD, and I wanted the characters to be from the modern time period. If I am to bring her in this story, I would have to make her a part of someone else's peerage whom has been around long enough, like Serafall's peerage for example.
TheFreezerStreets: Hmm, not bad suggestions, I will use them, thanks.
Shadic21: Thanks, although I don't think I will include Tsubaki and Momo in Itachi's harem.
Red Raven 007: Yeah, I'm sorry. Lelouch is a fantastic character, but the whole concept of Itachi and Sona getting a little brother turned out to be meh, to me and others.
ronlol2: Thanks!
ServantDreamer: I see, everyone has their own preference is all I can say. I personally like Akeno though. But yeah, thanks!
AlolanGallade: Sorry, but Kuroka is already lust.
Guest: lol
Mr. Haziq: Yes, swimming is the big guy's weakness.
GunBlade2018: Thanks!
Waffenmia: Hmm, I somewhat agree, right now I am stuck between Tsubaki, Tomoe and Tsubasa to be with Bob.
Ragnas Bredvolt: Thanks, and the water Susano'o doesn't seem like a bad idea, I will give it some thought. It's going to take a while for Itachi to unlock his mangekyou abilities anyway, since if he had them at the start of the cannon timeline it would be too much. And I was thinking they get tattoos of their sin animal.
Oblivious Ninja IJ: Thanks, and I really should include more of the forehead poking. And Koneko and Jack seems to have some sort of rivalry, we'll get to see more in the next chapter.
Dat boi: Thanks!
NatsuErzaDragneelSusanoo: LOL, thanks!
Harambe: Thanks, I have plans for Harry, and the other sins.
Kh fan: It has already been released, the next one might come when I return from Japan.

Guest: Thanks!
tsun: Noted.
ivangironestalaya: Yeah, I don't think so, can't really imagine it.
deoxeyses: Thanks!
Tempest-Rage: Yeah, if he sleeps for 23 hours the form will last one hour, if he sleeps 4 hours the form will last for 20 hours.
Guest: Here you go, sorry for the long wait.
kid218: This was one of the most interesting suggestions I got, but sorry, didn't feel that invested in the character after watching the anime, it was an okay anime, but the character, meh… Just my opinion.
heckelman88: Ravel, no. Sona, debatable. Serafall, also debatable. Tsubaki, no. And thanks!
