13. Gluttony!

Chapter 13: Gluttony!

Many more months had passed since Eto was recruited into Itachi's peerage. Not only had both Sona and Rias also expanded their peerage, but more had joined them at the academy. As Itachi, Rias, Sona, Akeno and Tsubaki were now well into their second year. While, Kuroka, Kiba, Tsubasa, Momo, Tomoe, and Sona's newest peerage member Reya had started their first year.

Reya is Sona's newest Bishop next to Momo. Reya is a young slim girl with long brown hair that ends in two short braids and she has matching eyes. Her attire consists of the normal female Kuoh Academy uniform, topped off with a blue headband.

While as Rias' newest peerage member, well, Itachi didn't know much about this one. Other than he was a Bishop and a shut in, with a Sacred Gear so powerful and uncontrollable that Sirzechs had Rias seal him somewhere in the old school building in a closed off area. For the past month he has been in Rias' peerage, Rias has asked Itachi for advice on how to deal with the situation. Although no matter what suggestion he gave, nothing seemed to work.

Well, Rias at least managed to solve the contract issue, as apparently this new peerage member named Gasper, was doing contracts over the internet. So, he did earn his keep within Rias' peerage, but was still too scared and uncontrollable to bring with for battle.

In other news on the gang, Bob had gotten into Kuoh academy's college program on a boxing scholarship, and with help from Lord Gremory and Sitri. And Damian managed to get a job, as the academy's janitor. They didn't know why at first, but when Itachi asked Damian's serious personality about it, he went quiet. Clearly his unserious perverted personality was behind this, what he planned to do was still unclear. Yet if he should step out of line, Itachi would remember to scold him.

And Eto, had gotten back to writing horror again, naturally under a new alias. She was gaining popularity at an extreme rate, bringing in a lot of funds. Although, she was also scheming something that no one, not even Itachi knew what was. He had made a mental note to keep a close eye on Eto, to make sure she doesn't do something too crazy. All that Itachi has managed to find out, is that it involves that man whom almost killed her. A man whom now was the leader of the CCG, Furuta from what he called himself public.

During their time at the academy, Sona had really managed to climb up the ranks. Having become the Vice-President of the Student Council. All to one day realize her dream of making a Rating Game school for everyone regardless of status.

Things had been rather calm these past few months, the number of Stray Devils in town had significantly dropped. But the number of requests had increased, to the point where even Itachi had to get involved in them. He hasn't had that much time for training with all these requests and school work. Although now, for the next few days Itachi wouldn't have a chance to train at all.

Right now, Itachi stood at the train station, next to him was an excited Rias looking like she was about to jump out of joy, and Akeno whom looked amused at her master's childish behavior. On his left was Sona and Tsubaki, with Sona being busy listing various responsibilities Momo and Reya would have.

And clinging to Itachi's leg was Jack, refusing to let go, as it took both Kuroka and Damian to pull her off. "No! Don't go!" Jack cried like a little puppy about to get left behind.

"Now Jack, we know this isn't going to be fun for either of us! But Itachi-sama will only be gone for a couple of days!" Kuroka struggled to hold Jack back from jumping Itachi, whom sweat dropped a little realizing first now how dependent Jack was of him.

"No! Who's going to read us bedtime stories before we go to bed? Who's going to hug us goodnight? Who is going to keep us warm when we are cold?" Jack listed to which Itachi got various looks from the group, that asked if he really did those things.

"Jack, it's okay, Kuorka and the others are going to take care of you, I will be back in a couple of days I promise." Itachi got down to Jack's eye level and gently patted the top of her head.

"No, let the slutty cat go instead. We don't care about her." Jack harshly replied to which Kuroka's expression darkened, and she grabbed the little assassin at the top of her head.

"Wanna say that again, squirt?" Kuroka's tone of voice got darker to which Jack flinched a little and averted eye contact with the nekomata.

"Yuuto, Koneko, I trust that you two will look after Gasper while me and Akeno are gone?" Rias kindly requested her Knight and Rook, whom both gave a nod.

"You can count on us, Buchou." Kiba assured with a smile, as the title Buchou had been given to Rias as she was the club president of the Occult Research club.

"I will feed Gaspie garlic if he gets hungry." Koneko declared with a stoic look to which Rias, Akeno and Kiba all sweat dropped.

"I-I don't think he will like that, Koneko-chan…" Kiba uttered.

"He needs to eat healthy." Koneko argued looking like she was looking forward to it, making some wonder if Akeno's sadistic side had rubbed off on her.

"Now, don't bully him too much okay." Rias gave the two a motherly like smile and embraced both in a warm, gentle hug. "Look after each other."

"Yes, Buchou." Koneko nodded and blushed a little from being hugged like that in public.

"Now, I trust that you will behave." Itachi cast a glance at both Damian whom was in his serious state, and Eto whom was wearing a hat and sunglasses so she wouldn't get recognized that easily by the public.

"I have gotten Harry to agree to knock me out, shall my rather extreme side take over and do something bad." Damian replied while looking up at the giant muscular old mustached man, whom really made them stand out.

"Good. Eto…" Itachi then looked straight at Eto, whom smiled while giving the peace sign.

"Yes." She sang in a sweet childlike voice. "I will behave."

"Good. Now, Kuorka you will be in charge regarding summoning requests, and how to divide them between all of you." Itachi looked to his queen whom was still holding onto the little assassin Jack, trying to reach for Itachi's leg.

"You can count on me! Nya!" Kuroka gave a little wink.

"Make sure to have fun in Kyoto boss, try and relax." Bob whom was in his eight-hour state, looking to be just as buff as Son Goku from the famous show Dragon Ball Z. Itachi and the rest of the second year students, were about to go on their school trip to Kyoto. Which to Itachi was almost like a vacation from his devil work.

"Mmm! I can hardly wait! There are so many places I want to go!" Rias' eyes sparkled with excitement over this trip, as Kyoto was considered the cultural heart of Japan.

"I'm sure it will be plenty of fun and excitement." Itachi smiled a little at seeing Rias excitement. And despite hiding it, he could tell Sona was almost just as excited for this trip. "Alright then, see you guys in a few days. Bye Jack, and remember to behave." Itachi gave the little assassin one last hug, to which the little assassin gave a sad little nod.

Itachi, Rias, Sona, Akeno and Tsubaki went with the rest of the second years and teachers to the platform. As they were on the platform, coming soaring by them was the bullet train. And for the three high class devils, this was the very first time they would ever ride one.

After a while, with riding on the bullet train, Itachi took note of its impressive speed. Showing just how far technology had come in the human world compared to his old life. He mostly stared out the window, admiring the country side and the beautiful nature. It made him feel relaxed, and at ease. While sitting right next to him was Rias, excitingly going over a list of sightseeing spots they needed to visit during the trip.

"We need to go here, and here, oh here! Oh, I don't know what to see first!" Rias squealed like the excited school girl she was.

"Buchou, you should really make a proper schedule for this." Akeno pointed out, worried a little that her dearest best friend and master would end up all pouty over not getting to visit every place on her list. 'On the other hand, it might be fun to tease her later on with this.' Akeno thought with a light sadistic giggle that Rias didn't pick up on, as she was too focused on her list.

'Will we be alright?' Itachi thought with a sweat drop. Although, one thing did pick up his interests, and that was the fact that this world had a nine tailed fox as well. The said leader of the Yokai's, he wondered how much this world's version would differ from his old one.

"Ah, we're here!" Rias exclaimed with excitement as she leant in really close to Itachi to get a good view out the window, so close that her hands were on his lap. Rias' eyes sparkled with excitement, truly it was like she was a little kid again. She stared out in awe as Kyoto came more into view. "It's beautiful…" Rias uttered as she eyed the landscape, the old buildings, the mountains, shrines. "One day I wish to have a traditional Japanese wedding in Kyoto…" Rias blurted out accidentally, having realized what she said she slowly turned her face in Itachi's direction, and then gained a faint blush.

Itachi blinked a few times as he stared into Rias eyes, those deep blue eyes staring right back at him. "Umm, Rias…"

"Y-Yes…" Rias uttered, as she looked astonished.

"…" Itachi halted himself for a second there, reflecting on what his next words should be. He didn't want to hurt her, as he did care for her, and knowing what she felt for him, what many of them felt for him. He still couldn't, he looked into his own hands for a second and saw them as he had seen them for a long time, stained in blood. Not literally of course, but haunting memories of a past life that have followed him into the next. As a constant reminder of his own sins that he still tries to overcome. "Your hands are still on my lap." Itachi pretended to have not heard Rias' comment earlier, or at least like he brushed it off.

"Oh, right… sorry." Rias looked a little disappointed as she quietly sat back in her seat.

Itachi felt like someone had punched him in the gut from seeing that look on Rias' face. He let out an inwardly sigh, and smiled as he leant in closer to peak at Rias list. "So, what do you want us to see first? Knowing you these must be great locations." Itachi changed to subject, to which Rias instantly brightened up again.

"You see, I was thinking we could visit the Fushimi Inari first! And then, the Kinkakuji temple!" Rias went over her list, and Itachi listened closely while getting a good look of her excited cute face.

"Oh, and what else?" Akeno leant also closer in to which surprised Itachi and Rias a little.

"I was then thinking the Kiyomizu temple!" Rias got into an excited discussion with her best friend, while Itachi smiled from looking at the two getting all excited about the trip. It didn't take long for Sona and Tsubaki to join in either.

"I for one wish to stop by the market before we head to the inn." Sona added to which Rias gave a nod in agreement.

"Right!" Rias added.

Some jealous looks from some boys were sent at Itachi, which didn't go unnoticed by the young Sitri heir. Yet he decided not to pay that much attention to it. After a long train ride, they finally arrived at their destination at the Kyoto train station.

Rias beamed with a wide smile, her eyes shining with excitement. Despite only being at the train station, she made sure to get a good look around. Itachi could remember the last time he saw Rias this excited, when they first visited Japan. Both Sona and Akeno also looked with smiles, at how Rias quickly went back to acting like the child they both knew back from childhood, from the serious cool beauty she was today.

"Her passion for Japanese culture never ceases to amaze me." Sona commented, looking at the happy smiling redhead taking in the scenery.

"Makes me wonder how things will be like when we actually see the cultural spots." Akeno giggled not only from seeing Rias looking adorable and excited, but also from the reactions of their classmates. Not only the boys, but the girls also stared in awe like they were looking at an adorable creature like a kitten or a puppy.

"I just hope we don't get separated." Itachi commented, while going over to the young Gremory and patting her shoulder, diverting her attention to him. "You do know we still haven't left the station?"

Rias blushed a little out of embarrassment realizing how she must have looked, she then pouted a little, turning her head to the side. "I know…" Rias averted from Itachi's gaze whom smiled at seeing her reaction. "Is it weird?" Rias pushed her index fingers up against each other, while averting her eyes back and forth from Itachi.

"Of course not. It's only natural for you to be excited over something you are passionate about. It's actually kind of cute." Itachi replied much to Rias' happiness, but that cute comment still made her blush a little. Many of their classmates looked in bewilderment wondering what Itachi said to Rias, to make her react like that. Some boys looked in jealousy at how well the two of them were getting along, same with some girls.

"Sorry to interrupt this… "moment". But could we focus on the task at hand, onii-sama." Sona went in between them with Akeno and Tsubaki behind her.

"Ara, ara. It's not fair to hog him all to yourself Rias." Akeno smiled and gave a little giggle as she placed her hands on Itachi's shoulders. To which the group received more stares.

"Why are we always the center of attention?" Itachi mumbled with an inwardly sigh, as he didn't like being the center of attention. But for some reason with this group, that always seemed to be unavoidable.

"Shitori-kun, Gremory-san, Himejima-san, it's nice of you to express your youth in such a… bold matter. But the class really needs to get a move on to the buss station." Their home economics teacher one of the supervisors during the trip interrupted.

"I assure you Minami-sensei, this is not what it looks like." Itachi tried to defend himself, but none seemed to believe him considering the looks he got.

"S-Sorry, Minami-sensei." Rias apologized keeping a calm relaxed expression, with a little sweat drop.

"We're sorry." Sona as the Vice-President of the Student Council gave an apologetic bow, showing her role as the mature rule upholder.

Later that evening, the students had settled in their rooms at the inn. The girls being divided into two different rooms, and the boys sharing a single room since they were heavily outnumbered. With it being only six boys in the class, with Itachi included. Itachi rolled out his sleeping mat, and unpacking his bags.

The other boys looked amongst themselves, and then all looked at Itachi, then back at themselves and they gave each other a nod. "Hey, Shitori-san? We umm, we have a question for you."

"A question?" Itachi raised his brow a little at this sudden turn of events.

"Yeah…" The leader of the group replied and sat around Itachi, and they all took a silent break to look amongst each other once more. They then all looked at Itachi with serious glares, causing Itachi to really wonder what this was about. ""What is your relationship with Rias Gremory, Akeno Himejima, and the first year Kuroka Tojo?"" The boys all asked in unison to which Itachi looked like, if he had coffee or tea in his mouth, he would have spitted it out, out of surprise.

"P-Pardon?" Itachi questioned.

"What is your relationship with them?!" The leader repeated the question.

"My relationship? With Rias, Akeno and Kuroka?" Itachi repeated the question to make sure what he heard was right. To which they all nodded with stone serious expressions. He wasn't sure how to respond to that one, knowing how jealous some of them were of him considering the looks he got earlier. If he didn't give them a satisfying answer, he wasn't sure how they would react.

"Well?! What is it?!" One of the boys asked as it looked like they were about to go up to his face.

Itachi let out an inwardly sigh, and gave them the only answer that he could. "They are all good friends of mine, and Souna from our childhood. And they are all very precious to me." Itachi replied to which they all looked amongst each other.

""Really?"" They all asked in unison.

"Yes… really." Itachi replied with a stone-cold serious expression, to which they looked at him with suspicious stares. "Pray tell, why do you ask?" Itachi decided to ask the next question himself.

""Huh?"" They all gained blank faces looking unexpected at hearing that question.

"Why do guys you ask?" Itachi repeated his question to which the boys looked away with either blushes or perverted expressions.

"Well uhh, you know they are… known as some of the top ranked beauties at our school…"

"So, uhh, it's only natural that we ask."

"Yes, for uhhh, research reasons!" One of the boys declared to which Itachi narrowed his gaze, having heard Damian's perverted personality use the same excuse for peeping at the women's baths.

"Research huh? In other words, you all have crushes on them." Itachi pointed out to which they all looked away with suspicious expressions.

"Well… it's not like we don't know we don't stand a chance with them. But…"

"That doesn't mean we get upset when someone does! Like what the hell is it with that damned luck?!" They all got up and cheered in agreement.

"Yeah! To hell with pretty boys!"

"Yeah! No offense Shitori-san."

"None taken." Itachi uttered with an emotionless expression, with a sweat drop running down his forehead.

Meanwhile, with Rias, Akeno, Sona and Tsubaki. The four young women were sharing rooms with six other girls. "Hey, Gremory-san, Himejima-san. Are either of you going out with Itachi Shitori?!" One of the girls asked right out.

"Eh?" Both Rias and Akeno gained questioning glances, and Sona looking like she was about to fall over.

"Yeah, gives us the scoop!"

"Kya! I'm so jealous! Shitori-kun is such a hunk!"

"I-If either one of us is going out with Itachi?" Rias asked with a faint blush, as she started thinking thoughts.

"Ara, ara. Not yet. Ufufu. But if he offers, I know I won't say no." Akeno giggled a little to which some girls squealed in excitement.

"Akeno onee-sama…" One of the girls spoke in disappointment and a little jealousy. "What about me?" The girl embraced Akeno whom didn't seem bothered, she remained calm and smiled.

"Ara, ara." Akeno giggled to which Rias cast her queen a glance, that asked what kind relationship they had. Akeno gave a mere shrug with her shoulders. "She's just an adorable cute fan." Akeno patted the top of the girl's head to which she smiled with glee. "You know like the ones you have." Akeno reminded seeing as some girls did seem to be, fans of them in more ways than one. "Anyway, back to the question. I gave my answer, Rias?"

Akeno diverted the attention to the Gremory princess to which, she looked stunned at everyone looking at her. "Eh? W-Well umm…" Rias wasn't sure what to say, even though they kind of were engaged, it would pose a lot of questions that she couldn't answer. "We aren't dating… but we're… close childhood friends."

"Eh, really?"

"Yeah, really."

"Cause' you seem a little too close. You sure there isn't anything else to the matter?" One of the girls leant in closer with a smug smile, and a suspicious glance. To which Rias let out a small nervous laughter.

While this was happening, none seemed to notice the trembling Sona, whom grew thick marks around her head. As she started to look a little annoyed. "Okay, that's enough! Onii-sama isn't dating anyone! So, stop asking!"

All the girls besides Akeno, Rias and Tsubaki backed up in shock at Sona's little outburst. "Ara, ara. Seems her inner bro-con has awoken again. No one is good enough for her dearest brother, right?" Akeno teasingly asked to which Sona's cheeks blushed the same shade of red as Rias' hair.

"I-I'm not a bro-con!" Sona protested to which the girls started to look more at ease, seeing Sona's adorable blushing face.

"Ah, you are such a tsundere." Akeno kept the teasing up to which Sona started to break out from her shell, of trying to act like a stone-cold serious student.

"Sh-Shut up!" Sona blushed even more as everyone let out a friendly chuckle, at seeing this new side of Sona.

"Akeno, don't take things too far now." Rias looked like she struggled to hold back her laughter at her rival's little outburst.

"Yes, buchou." Akeno kept her sweet smile up, and her sadistic side toned down.

'Lady Sona… you are so adorable.' Tsubaki thought while keeping up her serious expression, while looking at her blushing, pouting master.

The next day

After last night's interrogation for Itachi, Rias and Akeno. They were getting ready to visit the first temple of the day, Fushimi Inari. They walked through the long road of the thousands of gates. If it wasn't for the permit they received before coming here to Kyoto, our devils wouldn't be able to go up this road without causing trouble.

The sun shined beautifully through the small gaps between each gate, and the light reflected beautifully from each of the red gates. "It's beautiful…" Rias stared in awe, taking pictures of the gates on the path ahead at first, then turning around to get a picture of the writing on the gates.

Itachi enjoyed the view of the scenery of the woods surrounding this small mountain, as they were heading to the top to the temple. This old-fashioned style of architecture reminded him of Konoha during its peaceful days. It brought up a lot of good old memories, and some bad ones, both from a different lifetime. He wasn't trying to forget the past, but to move on from it and into a new brighter future this new life has provided for him.

Although, despite this peaceful scene, Itachi was still on guard and did notice they were being watched. He looked from the corner of his vision and saw a small pair of what looked like, fox ears sticking out from a bush before quickly going into hiding. 'The local Yokai huh? Wonder what they want…'

Once they had gotten to the top, Rias instantly went to take a picture of the view of the town bellow the small mountain, and shortly Sona and Tsubaki joined her. Itachi stood in the background, looking at them with a tiny smile forming in the corner of his lip. He was then met with a cold sensation on his neck. "Here you go." He looked to his side to see Akeno holding a bottle of melon soda up against his neck.

"Ah, thank you." Itachi accepted the drink, and the two of them stood there while watching their friends enjoy themselves. "You not going to join them in taking pictures?"

"There is no need, so far Rias has taken enough pictures for all of us. Besides… this is not exactly as much exciting for me as it is to her." Akeno replied considering she grew up in Japan, seeing parts of her country was still fun and all, but naturally it would be more fun for someone like Rias. "What about you? Why aren't you acting like a tourist?" Akeno teasingly asked.

"… Let's just say I'm not the type to show my excitement that much. I'm still enjoying myself, very much so." Itachi replied and took a sip from his drink.

"My, how mature you are." Akeno commented with a little giggle. "Wouldn't hurt to act your age you know." Akeno said as Itachi did seem too tense, too tense for a 17-year-old young man. Itachi's excuse was of course that he lived a previous life where he reached the age of 21, plus experienced so much hardships that he was forced to mature faster. But he couldn't exactly tell her that.

"Perhaps you are right… but. I guess this is just who I am." Itachi smiled at the sadist queen, and Akeno's facial expression softened. Finding some sort of, relatability in Itachi's words.

'Just who I am… huh.' Akeno thought with a little soft warm smile growing on her lips. "If only that was as easy for everyone…" Akeno uttered as her eyes looked saddened, and in her mind, it was as if she had her wings out. One devil wing, and one fallen angel wing.

Akeno was brought out from her train of thought, as Itachi put his hand on her shoulder and gave it a light pat. Having noticed that look in Akeno's eyes earlier, and heard her comment earlier. "I would say you are managing being who you are quite well. Your blood doesn't tell you who you are, only you can do that." Itachi assured the half-fallen angel, to which she gave a little look of awe.

"Jeez, you are just making me want to steal you away from Rias even more." Akeno wrapped her arms around Itachi's right arm, locking them together and holding him close. To this Itachi just gave a light nervous chuckle, thinking this was just Akeno being Akeno.

"Hey!" Rias jumped in, looking at Akeno with a pout as she grabbed Itachi's left arm. "Really, I can't turn my back on you for a second, Akeno." Rias sent Akeno small glares to which Akeno let out a small amused giggle at Rias' reaction.

"Onii-sama." Sona stood before Itachi glaring at him while pouting, to which Itachi gave his little sister a nervous smile. "Would you please focus on the rest of the trip, instead of fooling around."

"I wasn't trying to…" Itachi replied.

"I know, but somehow it always happens, right?" Sona glared at Itachi, the glare intensifying to the point where any normal man would have trembled in fear. And even though Itachi wasn't your normal man, Sona being his little sister gave him special reasons to be nervous. Not wanting her to think less of him for instance.

The devils were then interrupted by the faint sound of a bell, that they managed to pick up with their superior senses. They all looked towards the source, and saw faint strains of blond hair heading down what looked to be an older pathway. They also saw what looked like fox tails, and not just one. Itachi's mind instantly went to a giant red furred nine tailed fox. "Kyuubi…" Itachi uttered and moved away from the group much to their confusion.

"H-Hey, Itachi." Rias, Akeno, Sona and Tsubaki quickly followed after the Sitri heir. When Itachi got to the spot where they saw the strange figure was earlier, he looked around only to not see a single soul.

"Onii-sama, what's wrong?" Sona asked wondering why what probably was a yokai, was of such interest to her brother.

They then heard the faint sound of bells again, and they turned to the source. There they saw a blond-haired woman, dressed in a shrine maid outfit walking down some old stairway. "The way she tried to get our attention… she wants us to follow her." Itachi said and didn't hesitate to follow, the rest were not far behind him.

They followed her deeper into the mountain, until they arrived at a closed off shrine. She stopped in her tracks and turned around to face them. She had the appearance of a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure, her eyes matched her long blond hair. Her features were delicate, and her eyebrows cut short and round symbolizing status of nobility. She wore a white shrine maid outfit topped off with a golden crown on her head. "Good day, devils. I'm pleased to meet you. I am the leader of the Yokai's in Kyoto, my name, is Yasaka." She gave a polite little bow.

"O-Oh, I'm Rias Gremory, of the Gremory family." Rias returned the polite bow same with Akeno, Sona, Tsubaki. "This is my queen, Akeno Himejima." Rias introduced Akeno.

"I am Sona Sitri, of the Sitri family. And this is my queen, Tsubaki Shinra."

"And I am the Sitri heir, Itachi Sitri. Greetings." Itachi also returned the bow, although quickly raised his head and merely stared at her. "Now, if I may ask. Why did you want us to follow you? We were told that if we left you and other Yokai's alone, you would leave us alone."

"My, right to business huh. The truth is, I could require your help. As to gain knowledge why some Yokai last night, were attacked by demonic creatures." Yasaka revealed to which the devils looked taken aback.

"Come again?" Itachi raised a brow at this reveal.

"Last night, strange demonic creatures started to appear. Seeing as you are devils, I was hoping you could shed some light on the situation." Yasaka replied and out from her lower back stretched out nine golden furred fox tails. "Otherwise I might need to take this as some sort of declaration of war."

The devils went on guard, in case this whole misunderstanding would lead to battle against the mightiest Yokai. "Lady Yasaka, I swear, we have no idea what you are talking about." Itachi gave a sincere answer to which Yasaka gave the young man a curious look.

"You… you are the strongest amongst your group here. I can feel it… your power might rival even my own." Yasaka declared although her gaze narrowed at Itachi and her mind was thinking something else. 'Or rather… he might exceed my own power.'

"Mama!" The voice of a young girl was heard, as a mini version of Yasaka popped out from the forest and hugged her mother. "The monsters are here!" The little blond-haired girl said in fear, as suddenly various guards of Yasaka was seen being blasted out from the forest. Yasaka quickly turned around and went in a defensive matter in front of her daughter.

Out from the woods, came three figures. Tall, skinny, red skinned humanoid creatures. Each having four glowing eyes, dressed in mere loincloths with a skull decorated belt. They all had white hair and demonic horns growing from their forehead. "Nine tails…" One of the demonic creatures hissed at Yasaka, whom sent them dangerous glares.

Foxfire

Yasaka flicked her fingers, to which the demonic creatures were ignited in a blazing fire. Itachi and the others covered their eyes, feeling the intense heat coming from these flames. They were hotter than any normal flame, Itachi would describe those flames as being only weaker than the black flames of Amaterasu by a small margin.

The flames cleared as the creatures were burnt to nothing but ashes, although then the same creatures just spawned from the shadows of the forest. "What are they?" Rias questioned as they all warily backed up. Yasaka turned to look at them, and saw that they were genuinely surprised at these creatures.

"So… you don't know what these creatures are?" Yasaka asked and blasted the demonic creatures once again with the intense foxfire.

"No… these things… they aren't stray devils. I'm not sure what to call them." Rias replied and reduced one of them to dust with a wave of destruction.

"I guess we should call them demons… they sure look the part." Sona added and blasted one of them with an endless barrage of water eagles. Akeno then changed into her shrine maid outfit, and sent a bolt of lightning crashing into one blowing it's head off. Although it just regenerated.

"What is going on here?" Itachi questioned, looking at these creatures in bewilderment. He used his sharingan to analyze them, and they looked as any living being, but different somehow. He raised his hand, and formed a magic circle, sending out waves of water, surrounding the demonic creatures in a sphere of water each. Itachi then spun his body around, as a cold breeze emerged from the palm of his hand.

Subzero: Ice Prison!

The demons were frozen into solid spheres of ice, Itachi then tightened his hand into a fist. "Shatter." Itachi uttered and the ice spheres shattered into tiny crystal pieces of ice that spread like dust into the air. He widened his eyes, when he noticed that they just emerged from the shadows yet again. "They just keep coming… I was sure I killed them with that attack."

"They probably aren't the same as the once before." Sona suggested to which Itachi shook his head.

"Those three I destroyed now, all had different energy signatures that I picked up with my sharingan. But these three, have the same as the other three. They are the same trio over and over again." Itachi stated to which everyone looked surprised, were these creature's immortal?

"Argh… this one is too strong for us." One of the demons hissed in a demonic like tone.

"They are devils, we must retreat." The other one hissed as well.

"We shall return, we will find the girl." The third demon hissed before they all vanished in a red smoke.

"Girl?" Itachi questioned, wondering just what these creatures were? They weren't like any stray devils he had ever seen. And who was this girl they were looking for?

Last Night: Kuoh Town

The full moon shined over the town of kuoh, and in a dark street alley. Opened up a dark portal, with a single figure jumping out before the portal closed. The figure wore a dark black cloak with a hood, from her figure she appeared to be a young woman in her late teens.

She managed to pick herself up, panting, sweating, her blue eyes widened with a look of fear. From under the hood one could see bangs of black hair, and her skin looked rather pale. Under her cloak she was dressed in a long-sleeved leotard with cuffs around her wrists, and around her slim waist was a golden belt decorated with red jewels, she had a decent curvy body and a decent bust size, about Eto's size.

She takes a couple of deep breaths and regains her composure, picks herself up and walks further into the alleyway. As she walked past a window, and looked into it to examine herself. The glass flared with four yellow glowing eyes to which she backed up, panicked and blasted the glass with a wave of darkness of some kind. "Tch." The girl pulled her hood further down to cover her face and moved on.

"Raven…" A voice whispered in her mind, she held her right hand up to her temple feeling a major headache. "Raven… open the gate… Raven!" The voice whispered once more to the girl known as Raven whom fell to her knees, while holding her hands up to her head, and while sweating bullets from this mental strain.

"Come on, just like with Azarath." The chilling voice let out a dark cold chuckle, to which Raven started to grow angry, her eyes flaring red and even growing two more eyes on her forehead.

"Huh! No! No!" Raven struggled, taking deep breaths to calm herself down, and her eyes returned to its normal shade of blue.

"Open the gate… Raven. You might as well, there is no turning from your sins. Just do what your father says, I know what's best for you." Raven looked into a small puddle of water, seeing four yellow eyes glaring back at her. "You can't stop it, my time on Earth, will come!"

"Leave… me… alone." Raven hissed into the puddle and tried to get back up.

"You are my daughter. You are just like me." The voice kept irking the young Raven's mind.

"I am… nothing like you." Raven hissed in argument at her father's claim.

"Oh, really? Even though your thirst for knowledge of your origin, lead to the death of everyone you loved, even your poor dear mother. Face it child, you are more like me than you realize. You hungered for the knowledge, let the temptation, the desire, let it control you."

Raven splattered the water in the puddle to the side, to which the eyes vanished. "Why am I still hearing you?"

"Oh, my sweet little Raven. We are connected, we belong together. And besides, when you opened that portal to Earth. You merely increased my influence on Earth. I can send in my troops already, lower levels true. But I can begin my conquest, because of you. And your selfish, rebellious desire to leave home."

"That place, Purgatory, is not my home." Raven picked herself up and wobbly walked further into the alley. "Sooner or later, the Faction leaders will know a portal from Purgatory has been opened. I will get them to help me stop you… you won't have your way, Trigon!" Raven declared, adding a slight hint of venom in her tone at the mentioning of her father's name.

"Heh, out of those fools, the only stands a chance against my full power, is Sirzechs Lucifer. No one else can match me, once my henchmen get a hold of you. They will make you open the portal, and set me free, to conquer. And with you, mentally drained from trying to open that portal out from Purgatory. You won't last long, even against those losers."

"Just try it, I will send them crying back to you." Raven declared as she reached the end of the alley, and into the streets. But before she could reach the city lights, she passed out from mental exhaustion.

"Nya, nya, nya." The humming sound of a young woman was heard, as the oldest nekomata was walking through the streets with grocery bags. Accompanied by Jack and Koneko. "Hmm, what kind of fish should we have Harry make us for dinner today?"

"We're sick of fish." Jack replied holding a single bag of groceries in her tiny arms. "We want onigiri, it's one of mama's favorites."

"I'm not sure that can classify as dinner. Nya." Kuroka sweat dropped at the little assassin.

"I for one want something sweet." Koneko added while licking a lollipop.

"You already got something sweet, Shirone." Kuroka sweat dropped now even more at the two little girls. "I'm talking about a full-on dinner."

"Whatever the old man decides on, I'm fine with it." Koneko replied and kept licking the lollipop.

"As long as it's not fish." Jack added causing Kuroka to pout.

"I will have you know, fish is delicious and healthy. Nya." Kuorka huffed her head to the side, to which she noticed someone on the ground. "Nya?"

"Oh, who's that?" Jack asked.

"How should I know?" Kuroka looked down on Jack with a deadpan expression.

"Looks like she's passed out. What do we do?" Koneko looked to her older sister for answers.

"Hmm, she smells kinda weird. And feel weird. I can also feel a lot of power from within her. She is definitely not a normal human." Kuroka analyzed this hooded girl, noting that the hood made her look like some sort of witch.

"Should we call the ambulance?" Koneko asked holding up a cellphone.

"No, this is more like a supernatural matter. And we can't exactly arrange a trip to the underworld with some unknown stranger. Hmm, what would Itachi-sama do? Nya?" Kuroka asked herself and tried to think what Itachi would do in this situation.

"Mama would probably get someone he knew could help her. Normal humans probably can't…" Jack commented as she inspected the girl from head to toe.

"Hmm, should we take her back home with us? I mean she might be dangerous." Kuroka said, looking confused as what to do. They couldn't just leave the poor girl out here, could they? No, they couldn't she knew Itachi wouldn't do that.

"If she is dangerous, we have Harry, Bob if he isn't still asleep, Eto, Damian, Kiba, us, and the rest there. I don't think she will pose too much of a problem with all of us there." Koneko added, to which Kuroka had to sigh in agreement.

"Alright, we'll take her back with us. Find out what to do with her from there." Kuroka replied as Koneko not needing any instructions, lifted the unconscious Raven and threw her over her shoulder with no difficulty. "I-I think we should just fly back home." Kuroka uttered considering it would look weird for a little girl like Shirone, to carry a teen like that.

They brought out their devil batwings, Koneko holding Raven bridal style, and they flew off into the night sky back to their home. Just when they left, a new portal of darkness opened and out came two skinny red demonic humanoids like creatures. with four yellow eyes and horns.

"She's gone…" One them hissed while looking around and trying to sniff her out.

"Master, she's gone."

"Well find her, I can sense her moving at high speed." The voice of Trigon came from the portal, although then he hummed in confusion. "What's this? I can't sense her anymore? How is that possible, the only way she could have avoided my gaze is if… Argh! Only Ajuka Beelzebub can produce such technology and concealing spells. Someone must have found her and taken her to a place with a concealment magic circle."

"Then, how do we find her?"

"Spread out, search every corner of this country. Especially that place Kyoto, the Yokais have connections, they might know who is hiding her. Until the connection gets stronger, so that I can send some of my elite soldier through, do not engage with devils, fallen angels or angels. If the three factions catch wind of my plans, things will get troublesome. Now go!" Trigon roared through the portal to which the demons bowed.

"As you wish, my lord. We shall have our brothers and sisters spread out and search for our dear sister." The two demons moved on, as the portal closed itself up. "We should focus our search in this town, and Kyoto. For all we know, they might have teleported her somewhere else."

"Yes, I have contacted our brothers and sisters. Three of them are heading to Kyoto, a few more are coming here. And the rest will spread out around this country."

"Avoid being detected by humans. It might spread rumors to the three factions about us."

"Yes of course."

Present time, Kyoto

"I apologize for suspecting you. As a leader I cannot be too careful." Yasaka gave an apologetic bow to Itachi, Rias, Sona, Akeno and Tsubaki. And behind Yasaka, holding onto her shrine maid outfit, was the mini Yasaka. Like her mother she had golden hair and eyes, as well as nine golden tails and matching fox ears. "Kunou, are you alright?" Yasaka turned her attention to her daughter, seeing as she was attacked by those demonic creatures.

"Mm, I'm fine mama." Kunou smiled at her mother whom embraced her in a loving hug.

While the mother and daughter were hugging each other, Itachi and the others seemed more focused on the task at hand. "Itachi, those creatures… they were unlike any stray devil we've encountered. And they felt… like something more." Rias commented to which Itachi looked at the area where the demons vanished from.

"I fear this might be something beyond mere Stray Devils. I will contact nee-san, see what she thinks of the situation. In the meantime, just continue to enjoy the trip. But keep a look out, we never know when those creatures will show up again." Itachi had a bad feeling about all of this. These attacks weren't just random, these creatures were hunting for someone, a girl. Itachi looked over at Kunou and Yasaka wondering if one of them could be the target. 'They attacked the Yokai… but that doesn't mean they are after one. I shouldn't disregard the possibility though.'

Itachi walked towards the mother daughter duo, to which they broke of their hug and turned to look at him. "Is there something you want to discuss?" Yasaka asked the young Sitri heir whom Kunou looked at with a curious gaze.

"As we have established that those creatures have nothing to do with us. But we do know they are after someone, seeing as they mentioned a girl before they left. There is a possibility they are aligned with the Old Maou Faction, or maybe even something else entirely. Anyway, considering these events it could be possible they are after your daughter, you, or they think you know where someone else is." Itachi explained his thoughts on these demonic creatures. Itachi looked at Kunou whom flinched a little at that stoic gaze focused on her. "I would like to ask your daughter some questions."

"Yes, certainly. Go on, Kunou." Yasaka gently pushed Kunou to step closer to Itachi, whom knelt down to her eyes level.

"Your name is Kunou, right? I'm Itachi Sitri, it's nice to meet you." Itachi put the girl at ease with a friendly smile, to which the tension in the air eased up a little.

"Nice to meet you as well." Kunou spoke in a respective mature tone for her age.

"Kunou, when those creatures appeared. Did they seem to be going after you? Did they say anything?" Itachi asked, to which the little fox rubber her chin while thinking back.

"They kept asking, where is the girl… And I don't know, they seemed to attack everyone they saw." Kunou replied to which Itachi using his experience from his old life to try and solve a part of this mystery.

'Hn, if what she says is true, then they don't seem to be after her. Otherwise they would have only gone for her, and maybe brushed anyone else aside if they attacked.' Itachi thought as his eyes averted towards Yasaka. 'And if they were after someone like Yasaka, they would have used the word woman, and not girl.' Itachi stood back up having thought on the situation came to his conclusion. "If that's the case, they weren't after you. And considering your mother's age… she wouldn't be referred to as girl." Itachi said to which the smiling Yasaka let out a dark aura.

"My age?" Yasaka eyes glared dangerously at Itachi while still keeping up a smile.

Rias went behind Itachi and slapped him in the back of the head. "W-What he means is that they would have said young woman." Rias said to which the older fox's dark aura faded.

"Oh, yes I suppose that would be more proper." Yasaka smiled more warmly this time.

"Why did you hit me?" Itachi asked with a stoic expression while eying Rias.

"To teach you a lesson. Don't you know it's rude to mention a lady's age? You made it sound like she was old." Rias whispered into Itachi's ear, to which he let out a sigh. He also twitched from the soothing sensation of Rias' warm breath in his ear.

"Mother did mention that once…" Itachi commented, thinking back on the incident where his father accidently blurted out Lady Sitri's age. He had never seen his mother that angry, and that brutal. After that she had a long talk with Itachi to not act like his father, whom was a censored pile on the floor.

Itachi went on to contact Serafall about the situation, whom acted a little disappointed that Itachi didn't just call her because he missed her. But she did take the situation seriously once the creatures were described, and said she would talk it over with the other four Maous. Itachi was actually shocked at how serious Serafall acted, usually she wouldn't give a threat like those creatures the time of day. But for her to look that serious, something big must be going on that he didn't know about. "…" Itachi looked up into the sky with the sun beginning to set in the horizon, with only one thing on his mind. 'I wonder if everyone back home is alright…'

Kuoh town, a few days later, night time

With two of Rias Gremory's remaining peerage members in town having been trying to fulfil tonight's summoning requests had stumbled upon a monster. Kiba was on his knees, supporting himself with a sword, both his hands clutched onto the handle while he was panting and out of breath. Koneko, with the right side of her uniform torn stepped out from the shadows of a factory also panting.

Before them laid the bodies of three demonic like creatures, their skin as red as blood, their yellow eyes turned dark signifying their deaths. "What… kind of Stray Devils were they?" Kiba panted eyeing his comrade to make sure she wasn't injured.

"Don't know… no matter how many times we beat 'em, they just kept coming back." Koneko commented, while holding her right hand over her injured left arm.

"Yeah, in the end we had to kill them at least 10 times before they went down for good." Kiba picked himself back up, a little wobbly at first but he managed to regain his footing after a bit. "Let's head back home… there might be more of those things out here. We need to stick close to the others."

"Yeah…" Koneko nodded as they teleported themselves back to base.

Meanwhile, the same had happened to Sona's peerage. Momo, Reya, Tsubasa and Tomoe stood panting, and battered over three dead demonic creatures that looked similar to the ones Kiba and Koneko fought. Only one of them was far more bulkier and bigger. "This… this wasn't like fighting any ordinary Stray Devils… they just kept coming back for more." Reya panted using magic to restore her tattered clothes, and the rest of the girls followed.

"These two, we had to kill them over 10 times before they went down. But this big guy, at least 18 times. I lost count after a while." Tsubasa glared down at the bulky demon whom she faced because of her strength level.

"These things are creepy…" Tomoe poked her katana into one of the dead demons, and drew blood. It was dark purple colored, making them only seem more demonic.

"Are they some kind of devils?" Momo questioned.

"No, they feel far more darker, and sinister than the average devil." Reya replied while staring at the corpses, all of them wondering what was going on. "Let's head back to base, analyze the situation with the others."

Meanwhile, on the other side of town. "Hmph!" Harry huffed as he swung his sword forward cutting a giant red bulky demonic creature in half instantly, incinerating it instantly in a blazing fire.

"Hey, he isn't coming back like these guys." Eto pointed out as she shot a barrage of crystal projectiles stabbing into two others, whom appeared to die but just respawned right away. "But these guys are, how did you kill him in one hit?"

"Not sure, maybe because I pack more a punch in my attacks?" Harry questioned as he held his hand out at the two remaining demons. Making the entire area shake like it was an earthquake, sending such a powerful shockwave at the demons that they just exploded into pieces of flesh. While their blood splattered all over, Eto noticed something shining, a tiny dark crystal of some kind that also shattered from the shockwave.

"You might be on to something, old man." Eto smiled to which Harry raised a brow.

"We're heading back home, the others are probably waiting." Harry spoke like it was an order to which Eto let out a small giggle.

"Yes sir." Eto sang in a childlike voice as they prepared a magic circle. "Hope Bob and Kuroka kept an eye on our little unconscious guest."

At the house

Everyone had gathered in the gigantic mansion of a building they called home, and instantly noticed that everyone has been in a fight of some kind. And sitting on the couch was Kuroka and a petite Bob watching a sleeping unconscious Raven. "Well, any clues as to who she might be?" Kuroka asked Harry and Eto, to which they both shook their heads.

"Hmm, Jack and Damian reported the same. She's been unconscious since the night we found her, she doesn't show any signs of waking up either. Seems that whatever happened to her, left her both extremely mentally and physically exhausted." Kuroka said while looking at Raven from the corner of her eye.

"Maybe we should report this to the higher ups?" Bob suggested.

"What for, she's just a girl? We shouldn't do anything until we know more about her." Kuroka turned down the idea, not wanting to make a big deal over something that was possibly nothing.

"Maybe we should." Harry was the one to speak up, which earned him a look from Kuroka. "On our search, we were confronted by some strange demonic creatures."

""You too?!"" Kiba, Momo, Reya, Tsubasa, Tomoe all asked at once to which looks started to go around the room.

"Me and Koneko had the same problem, three red skinned demonic creatures with four yellow eyes confronted us after completing a contract." Kiba said to which Koneko gave a nod to confirm it.

"Same happened to us, also three of them." Reya commented to which a pattern was clear.

"Okay, something weird is going on here." Damian commented and they all then looked towards the unconscious Raven. "And something tells me our little sleeping beauty is involved."

"… Very well, I will contact Lady Serafall, see what she thinks of the situation." Kuroka formed a small magic circle in the palm of her hand and out came a hologram of Serafall.

"Ara, Kuroka-chan, what a surprise." Serafall smiled at the nekomata, whom gave a bow of respect.

"Serafall-sama, we have something to report." Kuroka started explaining the situation, with everyone adding things from their experience and encounters with these creatures.

"I see, don't worry, me and Sirzechs-chan are already working on it. We'll take care of it, as for the girl…" Serafall's hologram looked at the sleeping Raven with a wary look. "Keep a close eye on her, once It-tan and the others get back from the school trip we'll brief you on the situation." Serafall added before ending the call.

"Itachi-sama… I hope you are safe." Kuroka uttered and looked out at the full moon. Neither of them aware, that in the shadows on a rooftop stood one of the demonic creatures. Giving a small hiss before taking off.

Back in Kyoto

A few days had passed since Itachi and the gang's encounter with Yasaka. They had pretty much enjoyed their trip, while remaining sometimes on guard for those creatures, especially Itachi keeping an eye out most of the day. But they never showed up again. Tonight, was their final night in Kyoto before they would head back to Kuoh town.

And, up in the mountains of Fushimi Inari, dark lightning flickered and a dark portal opened. And out walked two shadowy figures, one had the height of your average man, he was dressed in some black armor and had red skin and four yellow eyes, as well as slicked back white hair. The second one was at least three times bigger than a normal human, he was very muscular and bulky. He only wore a loincloth and a black helmet where there were two holes for his giant horns to fit through. In his right hand he held a giant battle axe.

"Do you sense sister, brother?" The big one asked the armored demon whom looked around.

"No, I can't sense our sister. According to father she is probably being concealed by a barrier from Ajuka Beelzebub himself." The armored one replied before his senses peeked. "Although I found a fox instead." To this the bulky one smirked as they both spread dark demonic tattered wings and flew out. "Leaving a job like this to our lower brothers and sisters, father should have waited until we could have gotten through. We will get the job done."

They flew further into the mountain, when suddenly they were met with a wall of fire. "Foxy, come out and play." The big bulky one snickered as behind the fire wall stood Yasaka, staring down her enemies.

"Judging by your appearances, you are siding with the creatures that have attacked my people." Yasaka started to increase her level of power, creating a pressure around their space.

"So, you have already encountered our lower ranked brothers and sisters. Then I assume you can already tell, we're not like them." The armored demon spoke to which Yasaka narrowed her gaze at the two. He was certainly right, Yasaka herself could sense that they were about at her level. This wasn't going to be an easy fight for the nine tailed fox. "Allow us to introduce ourselves. I am General Xerx, proud son of Lord Trigon. And this is my little brother…"

"Beta." The big bulky one lifted his giant battle axe over his shoulder. "Where is our sister?"

"Sister?" Yasaka expressed in confusion.

Beta was just about to attack, to try and force the answer out of Yasaka but was halted in his tracks by Xerx. "Now, now, let's not be rash here Beta. She's just as clueless as you are." Xerx casually laid an insult to Beta which went unnoticed by the big muscle giant. "I take it you don't know anything about our dearest sister. Which means…" Xerx gave a devilish and stepped aside to clear the path for Beta. "… Beta can rip you to shreds. He's been so bored lately you see, this should cheer him up, right big guy?"

Beta snickered and lifted his battle axe, and jumped straight at Yasaka raising it up high. Yet Yasaka remained unfazed by this rude giant demon. "You dare to mock me?" Yasaka flicked her fingers as Beta was ignited in a blazing fire, although the flames were cut in half by Beta's giant battle axe.

"Toasty." Beta laughed and kept charging, Yasaka in panic at how close the demon was, jumped back and her body began to glow. She grew sharp fangs, and her body grew in size, as well as a golden fur covering her body. She had turned into a giant golden nine tailed fox, snarling at the two demons whom stared in awe for a second. Enough time for Yasaka to slap Beta flying further into the bamboos forest.

Xerx whistled a little, impressed at Yasaka's transformation, he then grew a smirk. "It's going to take more than fire to stop us." Xerx declared to which Yasaka gathered her fox fire into her jaw, and blasted it at Xerx. Xerx casually raised his hand and directed it at the incoming fire.

Enchantment: Hell Fire!

Blazing red flames countered Yasaka's, the intense heat of the flames igniting the entire area on fire. "No!" Yasaka stared in horror as the forest started to burn, and her flames and Xerx's negated each other.

"I got to admit, that fox fire of yours is no joke. It managed to negate my hell fire. Although, unless you want the forest to keep burning, you won't unleash an attack like that again." Xerx smirked as he distracted Yasaka enough for Beta to shoulder charge her, and despite her massive size in her nine tailed fox form, she was sent skidding back from the impact. "Heh, sentimental fool." Xerx raised his right hand into the sky.

Death Burn

A thunder storm formed over them, gathering blue lightning into a single spot, and then unleashed in all its fury onto Yasaka whom howled in pain. Xerx's smirk vanished however, when one of Yasaka's golden fur tails swatted him away like a mere fly. And then Yasaka unleashed a wave of fox fire at Xerx whom was flying in midair.

"Xerx!" Beta roared and swung his battle axe, sending an energy slice wave at Yasaka, cutting her across her back. Yasaka howled in pain, and then felt a jabbing pain in her jaw, seeing Xerx throwing and upper cut into her, tilting her head upwards from the force of the punch. She was then struck by Beta sending her falling onto her back.

Yasaka let out a small growl at the two demons, seeing Beta with his battle axe raised to deliver a finishing blow. "No! I am the protector of this town! I will not go down to the likes of you!" Yasaka roared, she was the leader of the Yokai for a reason. She swung her claw into both of them, sending them flying to the side. As they hovered in the air, Yasaka jumped at them, spinning her giant body around to slam all her nine tails into them smashing them into the ground. Creating tail shaped craters from the impact.

The two demons picked themselves up from the crater, glaring at the giant fox before them. "Brother, I want to kill her!" Beta declared while grabbing a tight hold on the handle of his battle axe.

"This is starting to get troublesome, finish her off quickly before more show up." Xerx jumped back giving Beta space. Xerx stretched his hands out to the side, generating giant spheres of fire into his hands. "You are the protector of this town you say? Well, what kind of protector would let it burn to ashes!" Xerx grew a made grin, and Yasaka widened her eyes in terror at that threat.

"No!" Yasaka tried to attack Xerx, but was held off as Beta's battle axe grew in size to the point where it towered over Yasaka.

Hell Fire!

The flames blasted out from his hands, and spread around the entire mountain. "Heh, finish her Beta." Xerx smirked taking enjoyment at seeing the horrified Yasaka's expression.

"Yes!" Beta raised the battle axe, and was about to swing it down upon Yasaka's head. But suddenly the axe halted, and no matter how much force Beta put into it, it wouldn't budge. "What?!"

"What is this?" Xerx widened his eyes as suddenly his hell fire had frozen into solid ice. Then the ice shattered into pieces, saving the mountain and the forest as the flames vanished with the ice.

"What's going on?!" Beta growled.

"Down here." A voice called out, to which Beta looked down to see old man Behemoth holding the axe back with merely a hand.

"You two work for the Lord of Purgatory? Interesting, tell me more." A second voice came from behind Xerx, whom quickly turned around to see the devilish smirk of Esdeath. As it felt like those chilling cold eyes stared into his very soul.

"I didn't even sense her getting behind me…" Xerx uttered in bewilderment, he then regained his cool and narrowed his gaze at these two newcomers. "Who are you two?"

"We're members of Serafall Levithan's peerage. I'm the Earth King, Behemoth." Behemoth was the first to introduce himself, as he merely gave the battle axe a flick sending Beta stepping back.

"I am known as Levithan's Enforcer, the name is Esdeath." The ice queen introduced herself to the two demons. "Now, prepare to fight for your lives." Esdeath released a cold chilling aura around her, causing the two demons to even feel the cold.

Beta gave a good swing with his axe at Behemoth, sending a massive slice wave dragging up the ground with it. The attack hit Behemoth head on, to which Beta smirked in victory. Although only to be left speechless, seeing Behemoth standing in the dust cloud, with merely his right hand raised to block the attack. "We cannot let you trouble the young master and mistress while they are on their school trip. So, Lady Serafall sent us to dispose of you. After getting some information of course." Behemoth casually said while dusting off a little dust from his shoulder. "I'm going to need to take this to the cleaners afterwards." Behemoth sighed looking at his yellow Hawaiian shirt.

'Impossible… he stopped Beta's attack like it was nothing.' Xerx widened his eyes in shock at how casually Behemoth just blocked that attack.

"Now then, shall we get started?" Esdeath stood right behind Xerx, whom leaped away, shocked that this woman managed to get behind him so easily again. "Do try and entertain me, son of Trigon."

"Esdeath, make sure he stays alive afterwards. He seems far more reasonable than this brute. I think we will most likely get answers from him." Behemoth jumped up to eye level with Beta, and gave a quick backhand strike into the demon's face, breaking his nose.

"Argh!" Beta clutched his hands over his broken bloodied nose while stepping backwards, dropping his battle axe in the process. "Old man… I will rip out your entrails! And wear them like a scarf!" Beta charged head towards Behemoth, blinded by rage.

"My, how vulgar." Behemoth swung his hand forward, and the ground started to tremble, as a giant rock pillar burst out from the ground. It's sharp end piercing through Beta's gut, pushing through his body expanding the hole in his gut to the point his entire upper body was destroyed. His purple blood rained down around them.

"M-Monster…" Beta managed to utter, looking horrified at this little old powerful man.

"Not done yet?" Behemoth flicked his fingers, and rock spikes then pierced out from Beta's entire body. Beta flinched as his yellow eyes started to flicker until they turned black and his entire body was torn to shreds. "Hmm, that should do it."

"B-Beta?" Xerx looked terrified seeing how easy his little brother was beaten. "No way… there is no way… Beta and I are both Ultimate-class level warriors. There is no way he lost that easily."

"You know, Behemoth and I are considered Ultimate-class as well. But we have both long since surpassed that level. Me, Behemoth, and Grayfia… are all strong enough to be considered Satan-class." Esdeath smirked at the demon whom started to realize he was way over his head. The look on his face showed that he knew there is no way he could win.

"Grayfia… The Queen of Sirzechs Lucifer, the Strongest Queen…" Xerx uttered in agape that these two were on par with Grayfia.

"Arguably." Esdeath made a light comment at hearing that title, she then approached the trembling Xerx. "Now then… shall we begin?"

Xerx couldn't believe it, he was afraid of someone else besides his father. As Esdeath approached him it was like he was staring at a monster. He kept backing away from Esdeath, then he felt like he bumped into something. He looked behind him and saw Behemoth looking at him with glare. "Now then… start talking."

"… I-I am the son of Trigon…" Xerx spread his wings and took off into the sky, only to be met with Esdeath floating in the sky over him. She spun her body in midair, raised her right leg and delivered a drop kick into Xerx's head that sent him crashing like a meteor to the ground. "I will not betray father… I am more afraid of his wrath than yours!" Xerx admitted, Esdeath charged towards the demon only to be met with a bolt of lightning in her back.

"Ugh! What was that?" Esdeath questioned as she skidded to Behemoth's side.

"Th-This power…" Xerx trembled in fear, knowing exactly who it was. He slowly turned his head around, and was met with a portal of darkness with four yellow glowing eyes. "Father…"

"You disappoint me, Xerx. You are a disgrace to your title as a general." Trigon's booming voice roared from the portal, to which Xerx fell to his knees cowering in fear.

"P-Please father, what can I do to redeem myself?"

"My plan for Raven, you can take the part I had planned for her during stage 2 of my plan."

Xerx widened his eyes in terror, knowing what it meant, while Esdeath, Behemoth and Yasaka were left in bewilderment. "I…" Xerx looked like he was about to protest but went silent from his father's growl. "Y-Yes father, as you wish. My life, belongs to you."

"Good, you know where to go."

"Yes." Xerx turned towards Esdeath, Behemoth and Yasaka with a smirk on his face. "Farewell, next time we meet. I won't be me anymore." Xerx revealed much to their confusion.

"You are not going anywhere." Esdeath appeared right before Xerx with sword in hand, ready to strike the demon. Although her sword was blocked with a barrier, she cast a glance at the portal with Trigon. 'Despite being trapped and unable to unleash his full power on the world. He is still able to leak this much out from a small rift?' Esdeath thought, not paying attention to Xerx whom chanted something.

Enchantment: Hell Fire!

A massive tower of fire burst to life around him, serving as a distraction as he fled by taking off flying into the sky. As Esdeath noticed the flames, she quickly froze them and shattered the flame ice sculptures. Only to see nothing, Xerx had gotten away and the rift portal with Trigon was gone. "We need to report this to Lady Serafall."

"Mm, sorry for the trouble Yasaka." Behemoth gave an apologetic bow.

"No, thank you. If I had gone all out against those goons. I would have risked the safety of this town." Yasaka gave her thanks as the two devils formed a magic circle beneath them. "But, what about those creatures?"

"Do not worry, the three factions have it under control." Behemoth assured before he and Esdeath vanished through the magic circle.

The morning

The sun was shining, and any signs of the battle from last night were gone. The trip was over, and Itachi, Rias, Sona, Akeno, Tsubaki stood with their classmates at the train station. Rias was pouting, clearly upset as she stomped her feet at the rail station.

"Why is she so upset?" Itachi whispered to Sona.

"She is upset that we didn't get to visit every place on her list, especially Nijou-jou. She was like this last night as well." Sona let out a tired sigh.

"Stupid demons, ruining our trip." Rias mumbled blaming those demonic creatures for getting in the way of their trip.

"Calm down." Itachi gently spoke to the upset Rias, putting his hand on her shoulder. "One of these days I will bring you back to Kyoto." Itachi declares to which Rias stares at him in slight awe.

She then blushes a little, remembering that on their way to Kyoto she mentioned she wanted to get married in Kyoto one day. Letting her fantasy run wild with that thought, and Itachi's words in her head. "R-Really?" Rias utters to which Itachi gives her a warm smile and a nod. To this Rias gives a small smile of joy, as she leans onto Itachi's shoulder. Itachi looks at Rias adorable face and cute smile, his eyes widened at first, until his expression softened.

Itachi heard a sound, as the bullet train arrived at tremendous speed. He looked at his reflection in the windows of the train. His eyes looked serious, as one thought went through his mind. What were those demonic creatures? And what was their goal?

Meanwhile, with Kuroka and the others back home. Little Bob and Tomoe whom had been tasked with looking after their little guest. Whom still didn't seem to be waking up from this little coma state she was in. "What do you thinks going to happen when she wakes up?" Little Bob asked while gently putting a wet towel over the sleeping Raven's forehead.

"I dunno, I heard Eto suggesting to Kuroka that we should be ready to attack her if she wakes up, and is hostile." Tomoe replied for the past few days Kuroka, Eto, Harry, Momo, Reya, and Kiba having taking the leading roles so to speak. Have discussed what to do with Raven once she woke up.

"She doesn't seem like a bad person. Then again, looks can be deceiving as the old saying goes." Bob said as he handed a new iv drop bag for Tomoe to change the old one with.

"Still can't believe Harry managed to get a hold of one of these…" Tomoe uttered with a slight sweat drop.

"Helps one of his contracts was with a doctor." Bob added with a light chuckle remembering the look on everyone's faces when Harry just walked in with an iv, and a box with more iv drop bags. Since Raven had been asleep for these few days, they had used these iv bags to give her nutrients to keep her alive.

"Still, what kind of spell did she use to exhaust herself this much?" Tomoe asked an excellent question, while Bob changed a few bandages on Raven's leg.

"She clearly fought someone, maybe more than just one…" Bob was just about to but on a new bandage, when suddenly.

"Trigon!" Raven burst to life, opening her eyes and sitting back up, scaring the poor little Bob so much it looked like he would have a heart attack.

"Ah… aaa…" Bob uttered before he fell over out of pure shock and fell asleep.

"Oh dear… Bob-chan." Tomoe held the now sleeping Bob in her arms, while Raven looked at them with a raised brow.

Raven breathed a little heavily, keeping her focus on these new two individuals seeing they weren't with Trigon from the looks of it. "Wh-Where am I?" Raven asked.

"Eh? Y-You are in our home." Tomoe replied.

"Home?" Raven looked around seeing the Victorian style decorated room, and the queen size bed she was on. Was this just a bedroom?

"Umm, I'm Tomoe, this little cute guy is Bob. Who are you?"

"…" Raven looked into the pure innocent eyes of this girl for a few seconds before giving a respond. "Raven…"

After waiting a few hours, the whole gang was gathered around the now awake Raven. Besides Bob whom was sleeping on an oversized body pillow. "Good to see your awake. I'm Kuroka, me, Shirone and Jack here were the ones that found you passed out in an alleyway. Now if you wouldn't mind, we would like to ask a few questions."

Raven eyed the nekomata, she could tell she wasn't human from those cat ears and tail wiggling around. She could tell that none of them were human, not anymore at least. "All of you… you are devils, yes?" Raven asked.

"We're the ones asking questions here." Jack peeked her head up from the end of the bed, staring at this new pale dark-haired girl.

"We're reincarnated as devils, yes." Damian answered Raven's question, now in his unserious perverted state. Wearing an open striped green shirt with a t-shirt underneath with an anime figurine decorated on it. And while wearing his red hat with the initials DD on them. "Oh, oh, by the way. Not bad, with that slim figure of yours, it really brings out your shapes-" Damian was silenced as the fist of Koneko hit the top of his head sending him face first into the floor.

"Perv." Koneko glared, while Harry let out a sigh at his comrade's foolish other personality.

"Anyway, you are clearly not human. And if you are, you aren't ordinary. So, Raven, what are you and where did you come from?" Kuroka asked.

"Just ask if she's friend or foe already." Eto sighed while looking bored, her eyes eying Raven to keep a watch over her. "Well, are you?" Eto ignored Kuroka and went straight up to Raven's face with the question.

"That depends, do you work for Trigon?" Raven asked in an emotionless tone that reminded them all of Itachi.

"Who?" Eto questioned.

"Then I'm not your foe." Raven answered still looking emotionless, seeing that clearly none of them knew who Trigon even was.

"Hey don't just ignore my question!" Kuroka grew annoyed at them ignoring her questions.

"Pipe down kitty." Eto snickered at the hissing Kuroka.

"I'm half human…" Raven replied not even mentioning her other half. "I come from a place called Azarath."

"Where and what now?" Kuroka questioned with a bewildered expression as neither of them had any idea what she was talking about.

"And what about your other half?" Eto asked, keeping a close eye on Raven to read and study her. She was even more difficult to read than Itachi.

"Look, I don't have time for this. I need to find the Faction leaders, and quick. Preferably Sirzechs Lucifer." Raven's eyes changed, she was worried, afraid. And that was all Eto could read from that little outburst.

"Oh? And this wouldn't happen to be related to these strange creatures, that have appeared around here for the past few days?" Eto so wanted to use torture right now, much easier way to get information, and much more fun for her.

Raven looked away, knowing what they meant, and they got their answer from that look in her eyes. Kuroka let out a sigh, as they had all suspected, she and those creatures were connected somehow. "Itachi-sama, Sona, Rias and the others will be back in a few hours. We'll continue the questioning once they get back."

It took even more hours of wait, Raven suspecting that the group leader was coming back. She looked at the sleeping Bob whom at this rate would soon have had his 23 hours of sleep. 'Geez, such a sloth.' Raven thought.

"We're home!" Rias announced as they returned, and from the looks of it, Rias had bought tons of souvenirs. Holding at least six shopping bags plus her luggage, while Itachi and the rest had one each plus luggage.

They went into the living room, and the five of them noticed a new face amongst the group. "Who is that?" Itachi pointed at Raven with a curious look.

"Her name is Raven, she was unconscious in an alleyway when we found her the night you guys left. We think she might be related to some strange occurrences…" Kuroka replied to which Itachi wondered if they also had experienced those creatures.

"Would those occurrences happen to be strange demonic like creatures, red skin, horns and four yellow eyes?" Itachi asked to which the gang looked shocked. "I see… so you are the one they are looking for?" Itachi walked up to Raven, having found the possible source of answer for his questions.

"Looking for her?" Eto questioned and eyed Raven looking even more suspicious of her.

"Waah! Master Itachi you are back?" Bob woke up from his 23-hour nap, and Raven's eyes looked like they were going to pop out from her head. As Bob had grown very tall and muscular, she quickly however regained her composure to keep her emotions in check.

"Oy, Itachi. I wanted to save this for when you came back. But this girl, smells like a bunch of rotten corpses and of fire." Eto informed the group, having smelled that of Raven since day one. With her superior ghoul senses, she knew what she was talking about.

"Oh, is that so?" Itachi looked stoic while everyone looked wary of Raven now, even more than before.

"That is the smell of Purgatory." A new voice was heard and they all turned to the source, and saw a man standing in the doorway. "I came here because I had a strange feeling that its gates are being opened, here in this town. Seems I was right." The man looked to be in his twenties, he had black hair with golden bangs and a black goatee. He was dressed in a V-neck maroon long-coat with a wide, open collar, he also wore grey slacks and brown shoes. "Greetings, young Sitri, and Gremory heir." He spread out twelve black feathered angelic like wings, to which everyone went on guard seeing he was a Fallen Angel. "My name, is Azazel, the Governor of the Fallen Angels."

This reveal made everyone gasp in shock, and Harry in particular widened his eyes. "Hey, you are that Fallen Angel who told me about the supernatural…" Harry revealed to which everyone looked a little more shocked.

"It's been awhile, Devil Fruit boy, or that word wouldn't fit for you anymore now would it? How about I just call you Harry? Or the second coming of Whitebeard?" Azazel gave the group a smirk, and noticed that they were ready to fight, to which he put his hands up. "Woah! Hold your horses. I'm not here to fight, in fact the three Factions have decided to hold a truce, to deal with a common enemy. Trigon."

Itachi narrowed his gaze at hearing that name, he peeked over at Raven whom also flinched at hearing that name. "Start talking." Itachi looked back at Azazel with his sharingan glowing.

"That was my intention to begin with." Azazel gave the group a little smirk to ease the tension, which failed miserably. "Though crowd…"

"Enough games, you are in our territory, now tell us why." Sona demanded to which Rias nodded in agreement.

"Right, right, well. Like I mentioned, the gates of Purgatory have been opened. And I'm here to talk to the culprit." Azazel looked at Raven whom approached the governor.

"Please, sir. I need you and the other faction leaders to stop Trigon." Raven lowered her head before the faction leader.

"That wouldn't have been a problem if you hadn't made that rift between the dimensions in the first place. Want to explain yourself on that one? Trigon shouldn't be able to influence the outside world like that." Azazel gave Raven the stare of a scolding supervisor.

"Because I didn't open it from the outside, but from the inside." Raven replied to which Azazel widened his eyes and on instinct activated a light spear. "Please, I was a prisoner there. I had to escape." Raven lowered her head further and got on her knees, to which Azazel deactivated the light spear. Deciding to hear the girl out first before he did anything rash.

"Wait, first explain what those creatures that attacked us were." Itachi demanded from both Raven and Azazel.

"They are the demonic soldiers of Trigon, the Lord of Purgatory. Or as you may know him, the true Satan." Azazel explained and everyone's eyes widened.

"Wait, I thought the four Great Satan's were…" Damian like many looked confused.

"True the title suggests that they are indeed Satan's. But, Trigon is different. He is exactly the kind of Satan most humans picture in their minds. Cruel, cold hearted, and evil incarnate. Long ago, the God of the Bible worked along with the three factions to seal this monster away in Purgatory for all eternity. No one knows where he came from, or who created him, all we know is that he is a Super Devil level being, with power to rival both of the Heavenly Dragons." Azazel replied to which everyone looked more serious, and some even gulped at the thought of such a monster.

"He is also my father…" Raven added to which more gasps of shock erupted from the room. "All the demons you have encountered are his very own children, but for some reason, I am special." Raven spoke with a hint of disgust in her tone.

"Wait, I thought Purgatory was a realm where dark souls ended up after they died." Itachi expressed his confusion to which Azazel looked at him to answer.

"That is true, but mostly those things are handled by the God of death, Hades. He decides who goes to his hell, and who gets the honor of going to Trigon's." Azazel answered our young Sitri heir.

"Please, go on." Azazel needed to hear this explanation, and Raven knew if she was to get help, she needed to tell him.

"My mother was human, poor and helpless. She was young, naïve, of course she ended up joining a satanic cult. They decided to go with the whole bride of Satan ritual, guess who got to be the lucky bride… I doubt any of them expected it to work." Raven clutched her fists around her cloak. "Of course, mother with her "great sense of judgment", didn't hesitate to hook up with the guy that emerged from the red smoke." Raven said sarcastically, to which everyone started to get the picture. "Hmm, she regretted it the moment he showed his true form, but it was too late."

"Wait, so your mom was raped by Satan?" Damian asked with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"His name is Trigon, but yes, she was." Raven turned around to give that one reply, before turning back to Azazel. "My mother managed to get away, and got help from the monks of Azarath. They were from another dimension, a realm of beauty, peace and tranquility. Where needless to say I did not belong. And I must have inherited my mother's judgment, because I thought if I knew more about the monster that made me, I would be able to make sense of myself." Raven started to tremble at the memories, she took a couple of deep breaths before continuing.

"Azarath, I have heard of it. A realm created by the Gods whom handpicked certain group of people to practice an ancient art form of energy. Please, do go on, sorry for interrupting." Azazel patted Raven on her shoulder encouraging her to continue.

"I preformed a ritual to summon him, it was just supposed to be his spirit. But my powers were too great to control, so I ended up unleashing his entire being onto the world. I can still see my mother uttering my name while crying, as Trigon in the blink of an eye wiped out Azarath and its people. All but me, he took me back to his hellish realm Purgatory… I can't even begin to describe the horrors I witnessed down there. I finally after years of torture and abuse, decided to run away. I had learned the dimensional spell he wanted me to use for him. But I decided to use it for myself, having greater control over my emotions and powers, I was able to escape. Of course, not without creating a rift."

"Why did Trigon want you?" Rias asked as most of them seemed saddened at hearing her story.

"He wanted Earth, that is what the God of the Bible stopped him from conquering last time. And with me, able to summon him forth. He intends to use me to send his whole body through along with his demonic army. That is why I need your help, to gather up the other Faction Leaders, even God of the Bible to stop him before he can." When Raven said that last bit Azazel flinched a bit and looked away for a moment.

"No need to worry, Sirzechs Lucifer, Michael and I have agreed on a truce. We will stop him from entering this realm. First thing, we need to find the rift, and make sure they don't get to you-" Azazel was interrupted by the ground beginning to shake, it was like an earthquake

"What's going on? An earthquake?" Rias backed up as they all had trouble standing from the intense shaking. They were then met by a blinding purple light. "What is that?"

Itachi and the others quickly went to the window where the rays of light shined through. "What is that?" Itachi questions seeing a giant dark pillar of light coming from Kuoh Academy. The Fallen Angel Governor walked up to the window with them, Azazel narrows his gaze at the giant light pillar.

"That is a gateway to purgatory…" Azazel clicks his tongue in frustration.

Raven widened her eyes in terror, absolutely horrified. To which the room started to bend to her powers out of her fear. "I-It can't be…"

"Raven, focus. Take deep breaths, calm breaths." Itachi grabbed a hold of her shoulders and looked her straight in the eyes. Having managed to figure out from what she said earlier, that her powers were based on how well she controlled her emotions.

Standing by the portal at Kuoh Academy, at the track field. Stood the demon general Xerx, from Kyoto that got away, chanting some words in a strange language that sounded demonic. Then out from the portal exploded out red smoke. "As you command, Lord Trigon. I offer my very flesh and being! To the destroyer of all that exists!" He chanted in a normal speech as he punched a hole into his chest and pulled out his very own heart. "Let thy wish be fulfilled! Let this world burn in your hellfire! Let all know of thy greatness!" The red smoke started to grow thicker.

Then suddenly the red smoke gathered into a gigantic cloud, that altered its shape, taking the form of some giant humanoid creature. With massive demonic horns and four yellow glowing eyes. "Let thy spirit take my body as a vessel! To exact your judgment onto this realm!" Xerx kept chanting as the red smoke flew down his throat, making the general freeze as his heart exploded in the palm of his hand.

He isn't even able to scream, but his pupils shrink and his eyes widen, sweat run down his forehead, showing that he is in immense pain. Once all the smoke had entered the general's body, his body starts shaking, it starts altering. And a massive surge of power is released around the general, gathering up a giant dust cloud, blowing around him like a whirlwind.

The shadowy form of Xerx starts growing taller, his body becoming thicker with muscles, horns growing out from his head, his very face changing shape, and to top it off he grows and extra pair of eyes, and his four eyes let out a yellow glowing light. The shadowy demonic form of the general looks into his own palm, letting out a chuckle that sounded completely different from him. His voice, deeper, darker and more sinister.

The whirlwind then vanishes, and the dust is settling down. Although the demon we expected to see, wasn't there. There stood what looked like a normal man, he was tall dark and handsome. His black hair long reaching to his upper back, his body very muscular, and his two eyes had red pupils. And all he was dressed in were black shorts, with a loincloth around it held up with a skull decorated belt. And on his wrists were black metal bracelets.

He gives a devilish smirk as he clenches his fist. "You've done your part general Xerx… your sacrifice will not be forgotten." The man turns to the giant portal, that is leaking out more demonic energy making his power grow. "I still need the girl to open the portal if I'm to release my own body from Purgatory. But, with my power still leaking out, this spirit body should be up to full strength within two hours. And knowing Sirzechs, he will come to stop me. I need to either hold him and his people off for two hours before I can challenge him, I think I even sensed Azazel not far away from here. Or, capture Raven and make that little witch girl release my real body. If the original plan had worked things would have gone perfectly, capture Raven, possess her and make her unleash my wrath on the world. Good thing I had a plan B, although it's going to be more difficult getting a hold of her with the three factions aware of my actions."

The man smirks, raises his arms and starts chanting in the demonic language again. "Rise my army, serve your master." He declared as out from the portal came an armada of hundreds upon hundreds of demonic soldiers, each on differ in size, some were the same low levels Itachi, Sona and Rias' peerage members had encountered, others looked big, bulky and muscular, some looked like normal soldiers, as they were cladded in armor. They all shared one thing in common, they had red skin, horns and four yellow glowing eyes.

"I can't trust you to even capture a girl… but, for your sakes I hope I can trust you to fight and guard this portal." The demons cowered in fear before their lord, whom gave a sigh already feeling powerful presences of faction leaders, and others approaching. "Just goes to show. If you want something done right… you got to do it yourself." He looks around seeing a giant barrier forming around the academy, boxing him and his army in, seeing on the outside a bunch of devils surrounding the academy. And among them was the silver haired queen of Sirzechs Lucifer, Grayfia, titled the strongest queen, he could also spot more members of Sirzechs' peerage assisting Grayfia in keeping the barrier up. More portals were opened, some of darkness, others of light, and out came Fallen Angels and Angels.

"Oh? All the three major factions are here already? My what an honor." Trigon snickered at how the three enemies came together just to put him back in Purgatory. Two giant bolts of light were in particular within his line of sight, letting out a divine blinding light stood two figures. "What, only two Arch Angels? I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. Even if it is the mighty Michael and Gabriel." One of the figures was a young, and extremely beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure, and blond curly hair with green eyes, with twelve angelic wings growing out from her back, this was the mightiest female angel Gabriel. But the one that stood out the most, was Michael, a handsome young man with long blond hair and green eyes. He was dressed in a red robe with a golden cross on the front of his white alb. He has golden shoulder plates with a white sash. And with a golden halo over his head, and twelve golden feathered angel wings sticking out from his back shining like the light of God.

Trigon noticed that angels and fallen angels began adding more layers on the barrier surrounding the academy. "Heh, pitiful. They don't want to risk the human lives in this town. That will be their downfall." He smirks as his focus is directed at a certain building in the distance, having heard from his soldiers he knew she was there. "Daddy's here, Raven." Trigon, the Lord of Purgatory declared with a devilish grin. Having used his magic and spirit power to take over the general's body, and using his human form to conserve energy.

That's the end for now!

Wow, this might be my longest chapter yet. Anyway, the reason why this is long, is because I plan for the next chapter to be the last before we reach the cannon timeline. So, wanting to add as much content as possible for Raven's little recruitment arc, I decided to make this chapter longer. Perhaps the next one will be almost just as long or maybe even longer.

Now, half power or not, the gang is still in trouble with the likes of Trigon on the loss. And to my surprise, turns out some people haven't watched the Teen Titans cartoon or even know of Trigon and Raven. Which is, wow, just wow. Anyway, basic rundown on Trigon. Interdimensional demon in the DC universe, conqueror of worlds, all powerful god like being, and basically Satan.

Now in the next chapter, the all-out battle between the Three Factions and Trigon's army begins. With the Three Factions having one goal, seal up that rift and make sure Trigon stays in Purgatory. Trigon's goal, get out of purgatory and bring on the apocalypse. One thing is for sure, it won't be easy for our friends to solve this problem. Might be even too much for them to handle.

Oh, and in case I need to explain this. In this fic Trigon and his demons are not counted as Devils but as demonic monsters, and no one is sure how Trigon really came to be.

Anyway, leave a review!

-Later!

(responds to reviews)

Ragna: That I know, but guess her exact age remains a mystery.

Red Raven 007: In a PM I sent you that you still haven't replied to. I said that yes, I do talk to girls and even had a few girlfriends. I'm just trying to keep the DxD girls within their cannon personality sometimes, even though I have planned for their characters to develop as well, especially Rias at one point in the story. Oh, and none offense taken.

firestarter1188: Well bye, then.

youngdrgn: Thanks!

merendinoemiliano: Thanks!

Oblivious IJ: If she was real, she might hurt me, yes XD

588963-B: She is badass I will agree with that.

EmilyGonzalez: Thanks! And yes, the devils and demons are very different in terms of concept here.

HolyKnight5: That would be an interesting way for Eto to power up. And I imagine Esdeath would either be titled Levithan's Enforcer or Executioner like you suggested. And that sounds a lot like something Esdeath would do XD

Unbenannt: Not sure really, so far Raven here is the last one on my mind.

luis5224: Thanks, and it is Raven from Teen Titans the cartoon show (not Teen Titans Go! That show sucks) And I agree with the Itachi not showing his past or anything. At most the closest we might get to the group hearing of it, is through the story he told Koneko and Kuroka. Or if he decides to make a manga or something like that based on his old life to earn some cash XD But I also thought of making Raven to be one to see glimpses of it, seeing as she can see into people's minds and stuff. But being the person she is, she wouldn't mention it to anyone else. Or since she only saw glimpses of it Itachi can convince her it was just a bad dream he once had.

marsolino: Ah, shit I forgot XD

Cboylan: Many seems to do.

andresskorskiruiz: Thanks! And pairing those two up is not something I'm sure of, so far I have more the image of Esdeath as like a guardian of sorts.

98kazer: As we see in this chapter, DC Raven.

Empyrean Asura: Oh, a moment like that is sure to come, wait and see.

blackcharizard762: I don't think it was mentioned that Behemoth was Serafall's queen, or even what he was. But I imagine someone like him being a Rook.

Thunderbird29: I can assure you, the next chapter will be the last before we reach cannon timeline. And I'm looking forward myself to when we reach the cannon timeline.

NaruAi2018: Thanks!

xhope14x: Is this long enough? Btw, the longer the chapters are, the more time it takes to write them.

Guest-Questioner: Well, everyone has their view on things, hopefully you enjoyed this chapter more.

Mr. Haziq: It's been corrected XD

PsychoSync: Eto, most likely. Esdeath, not sure.

Guest: Thanks!

akuma: Thank you, and you might be on to something.

Shadic21: Thanks, here you go!

Dat boi: Thanks!

Harambe: Indeed.

Mpower0438: Thanks, and I imagine either Itachi joins the Gremory family and Sona becomes the heir of Sitri. Or Rias joins the Sitri and Millicas becomes the Gremory heir.

deoxeyses: Thanks!

Cade2065: An hour old, with the mind of a 21-year-old XD.

Lovesick97: First of all, he didn't tell everything. Second of all, ANBU or not he still has to build his new body up from scratch. Reflexes, strength and speed is not something you are born with. And finally, this is fanfiction, I'm allowed to write what I want in my stories.

CamTheThief: We talked through PM.

seant5054: Sorry, but no. From Ninja to Saiyan is the next on my list, DXD Sharingan Dragon Slayer, I still have writers block on that, sorry.

LeonSith11: No for Yasaka, and Rosseweiss I haven't considered it.

Rairi Valelira: I know XD

Capito Celcior: I understand what you are saying. And I sent you a PM about the last review.

Iron-Woman0789: I will continue this. And here you go.
