18. Itachi vs Raiser!

Chapter 18: Itachi vs Raiser!

It had been no less than a week since the incident with Raynare and her Fallen Angel comrades. Reports had been made and given to Sirzechs, as it was insisted by Itachi whom would rather not deal with his dotting older sister throwing a fit, and threaten to blast away all Fallen Angels. Reports were later given to Azazel from Sirzechs, and the Fallen Angel Governor put spies within Kokabiel's faction to keep a closer eye on the warmonger as a result. And it seemed Kokabiel had taken Itachi's warning to heart, and his activity within the Underworld had decreased significantly.

At the moment the Sitri heir sat between his beloved sister Sona, and his fiancé Rias. Both seeming to discuss how to settle the matter on who gets to bring their servants to the familiar forest. Planning out a friendly game to compete against each other, after their last game ended in a draw. "How about chess?" Sona attempted to sneak in a game she knew she could beat Rias in.

"No way, we both know in a game of chess your chances of winning are greater. We'll do a fair game of sports and that is final." Rias turned down that idea without a second thought, shocking Sona that Rias didn't give in to her pride to even their score in chess.

"You say that, but out of us you are physically stronger." Sona argued, noting that it would be an unfair matchup.

"You are plenty physically strong yourself, and unlike in chess we can use a sport utilizing our peerage members as our teams. That way the playing field is evened out." Rias shot back, making Sona's argument invalid.

"Sounds fair to me." Itachi commented as the bystander in this situation, as all his peerage members already had their familiars, he didn't have to be a part of this argument.

"… Very well." Sona gave in seeing as her brother agreed to it, now it was a matter on deciding on what sort of sport. "How about dodgeball?"

"Dodgeball? Sounds fine by me." Rias and Sona gave each other challenging glares, sparks flickering between them. Itachi sweat dropped at this sudden feeling of pressure from this atmosphere. Truly, regardless of how old they got, Rias and Sona's little rivalry would never fade. "I trust that you will prepare the gymnasium." Rias smirks to Sona as she releases a blazing red aura, feeling excited to challenge her rival.

"Heh, of course. And I trust you will prepare comforting words for your team when you lose." Sona smirked back at Rias, releasing her blazing chilling blue aura.

'We're just talking about a mere game of dodgeball, aren't we?' Itachi looked with a deadpan expression as cold sweat ran down his forehead from this awkward tension. The game took place that very night, with Rias' team emerging victories in the end. And Sona was left to rebuild the bombarded gymnasium.

Following later that night, Rias took her peerage familiar hunting. While Itachi had decided to take this rare opportunity to train in the lower levels of the mansion. He fought simulation after simulation, until he broke a sweat. And the very moment his drop of sweat hit the ground, red lights began blazing within the training grounds and an alarm rang, ending the simulations. "Now what?" Itachi headed over to the command center, shutting off the alarm and the red lights. Itachi moved further up on the console, and pushed a button to which a hologram appeared. 'Whoever designed that as a ringtone for this room, is mental…' Itachi groaned, still hearing that alarm blasting in his subconscious mind.

The holographic image turned into his older sister's Queen, Esdeath. Her holographic image stared down onto Itachi, tipping her hat in a form of greeting to Itachi. "Pardon me for interrupting, I see you were in the middle of your workout." Esdeath had a smirk at seeing Itachi in that skin tight training gear outfit, a sleeveless tight black leotard, with dark blue outlines, and a dark blue Sitri emblem on his upper back. The outfit really revealed his muscly shapes and forms, amongst other things. The outfit had a label on the back, where it stood "Designed by Serafall Levithan for her cutest little It-tan!" A label Itachi couldn't afford to remove, as if Serafall ever found out she would throw a hissy fit. Although he had to admit, it was super light and easy to train in.

"Esdeath, to what do I owe this pleasure? Are you perhaps warning me about a surprise visit from Serafall? Because, that would actually be really helpful." Itachi jokingly smiled at the hologram, although Esdeath didn't look like she was in the mood for jokes.

"This matter is far more… pressing I'm afraid." Esdeath's level of seriousness actually got Itachi a little intrigued. "Word around the Underworld, is that Raiser Phenex is attempting to sneak away from his Rating Game against you. By tricking Rias into one instead. While making her make the promise of becoming his bride after the match if he wins. I suspect he will attempt to distract you away from Rias while he attempts his little trick."

"Really? I see…" Itachi looked disappointed, losing whatever little of respect he had for Raiser. "I would have thought he at least had the honor to keep a promise between our families. Thank you for informing me, I will make sure to keep an eye out. The time to end this 14-year standoff draws near." Itachi ended the call with Esdeath, deciding to end his training for the day and head to the bath.

As he entered the classical Japanese styled bath, he was taken aback over discovering the naked trio of Rias, Akeno and Koneko. Itachi looked dumbfounded, realizing they were naked. And the only thing that separated him from being completely naked, was a white towel wrapped around his waist. "Hey Itachi, how's it going?" Rias casually asked like it was no big deal, giving a giggle at Itachi's dumbfounded reaction.

"Ara, ara, what a surprise Itachi-kun. Come and join us, I can even wash your back." Akeno joyfully clapped her hands, while Koneko embarrassedly hid behind Akeno while giving Itachi a dirty look.

"… I thought you were off familiar hunting." Itachi kept his cool, wondering just how long he had spent training with those simulations.

"Well, some stuff happened and we had to leave earlier than expected." Rias poured water onto her naked body, washing away what bubbles of soap that covered her parts. Her crimson red hair drenched in water, water dripping from her neck onto her bouncy breasts and pink nipples.

"Aha…" Itachi slowly made his way towards the exit, seeing both Rias and Akeno closing in on him.

"Lots of hot erotic stuff." Akeno giggled, blushing from remembering the sensation. Her black hair was untied from its usual ponytail, so her long pitch-black silky hair fell around onto her massive breasts, her wide soft hips, and her big soft backend.

"I see, sounds very problematic." Itachi remained stoic, his right hand behind his back reaching for the door handle. Needing to get out before he might do something he would probably regret later. The two young ladies closed in on him, giggling at his actions, thinking it was cute. However, as he touched the door handle, he quickly pulled away and looked to the handle, seeing it had melted away.

"Oopsie." Akeno playfully shrugged, with a magic circle formed around the tip of her finger. Then before Itachi could teleport out of there, Rias and Akeno grabbed onto his shoulders. If he teleported, he would bring them with him wherever he went, and that might lead to far more problematic situations.

"You must be all sweaty from training, we'll clean you up real nicely." Rias and Akeno lead Itachi further into the bath. While Koneko embarrassedly hid her naked petite body from Itachi, minding her own business by washing off some slime remains from her hair.

"… Let's just get this over with." Itachi sighed, beginning his inner struggle to not act up on his male now devil enhanced instincts. 'Can't possibly get worse…'

"Shirone! Onee-chan is here to wash your back!" Kuroka, naked as the day she was born entered the bath, ready to tease the hell out of Koneko and feel up her tiny body- I mean spend some time with her beloved little sister. "Ara? Itachi-sama?" Kuroka stared perplexed at the scene of Rias and Akeno attempting to bath Itachi. Kuroka then looked onto Itachi with a devious grin, a new idea having popped into her head instead.

'I stand corrected…' Itachi thought with a small groan.

"Yo! Rias-chan! Akeno-chan! I can't believe you would bath with Itachi and not invite me." Kuroka playfully pouted, fidgeting her naked body, her massive chest swinging back and forth before Itachi's eyes.

"Well, it wasn't something we planned at first." Rias replied.

"Yeah, just a coincidence!" Akeno began spreading soap onto her chest, and proceeded to rub Itachi's bare back with it. "A welcoming one at that…" She seductively whispered into his ear, her hot breath gently blowing into it.

"Hey no fair Akeno." Rias also poured the oily soap onto her boobs, and latched onto Itachi's right arm rubbing it in between her soft bouncy chest.

"Now then…" Kuroka reached her hand down on Itachi, looking like a cat in heat, she ripped the towel around Itachi's waist off and threw it into the air. "Let the fun begin!" She cheered, dragging Koneko into the mix. "Shirone, time for onee-chan to teach you about the male body…nya." Kuroka whispered into the younger nekomata's ear, to which her face turned into a slight flush of pink. Her poor innocent eyes locked onto Kuroka's fingers trailing down from Itachi's chest, until it reached a certain point.

'Don't react… don't react… shit.' Itachi hung his head down in defeat, as his bath session began.

After the bath, they gathered in the living room. Itachi looking violated as the girls had washed every corner of his body, EVERY corner. Rias, Akeno and Kuroka looked on with a sense of satisfaction, while Koneko hid her blushing face in a pillow. "So, you were all attacked by a slime familiar that melted your clothes?" Itachi looked to Rias whom shivered at the memory of that cold slime latched onto her body.

"Yeah… of course we disposed of it right away… although Issei wasn't so happy about it." Rias sweat dropped at the memory of Issei having a strange bonding moment with the slime, and expressing his desire to have it as his familiar. And his cries of agony when the slime was vaporized.

"I can imagine." Although Itachi hadn't met Issei face to face yet, he knew about what kind of person he was. Plus, he had heard rumors of the notorious perverted trio from the female students at the academy.

Akeno walked up to him, with her phone out. "I got some pictures if you want to see…" Akeno showed Itachi pictures of a slime covered Rias, from the looks of it she was moaning, her face bright red, and her clothes slowly melting off. "Hot right?"

Itachi looked at the picture, and then to Akeno, seriously beginning to question the girl's intentions. "You are potentially bisexual, aren't you?" Itachi bluntly asked, and all he got in responds from Akeno was a mere shrug and a giggle. Akeno continued to browse through the photos of Rias, for every picture more of her clothes were melted off revealing more of her naked body. 'Damn it…' Itachi cursed himself as his body reacted like in the baths, and did not go unnoticed by Akeno.

"Ara, ara, quite a healthy boy, aren't you?" Akeno teased, and Itachi decided to go to bed before anything else that would strain his mental state could occur. "Do you guys think we overdid it?" Akeno looked to Kuroka and Rias.

"Hmm, maybe…" Rias looked slightly guilty seeing Itachi walk up those stairs.

"Nah, he's still a virgin, and so are we. I say we didn't do enough!" Kuroka boldly declared, not aware that behind her was Koneko looking out to kill, and now that Itachi wasn't here she had no need to hide her embarrassment.

"Onee-sama…" Koneko dangerously cracked her knuckles, to which Kuroka began sweating nervously. Kuroka slowly turned around to face Koneko, trying to keep her cool but the cold sweat running down her forehead gave her away. "Baka." Koneko pouted and the next thing that was heard, was Kuroka's pained yelp of pain echoing in the night.

The next day

Walking alone on his way from school, Itachi was left to his thoughts. Thoughts of the situation with Kokabiel, thoughts on his relationship with the girls, thoughts of the past, and thoughts of Raiser Phenex. He still remembers the day he met that arrogant spoiled brat. He didn't think much of him back then, and that hasn't changed to this day. Especially considering Raiser's plotting to weasel his way out of an agreement between their respected families. No doubt out of fear that he would lose against Itachi, and therefor lose the chance to get Rias.

'Esdeath said Raiser would most likely attempt to distract me away from Rias. So that he can trick her into a Rating Game instead. But what possible way could he do that?' Itachi pondered upon it, going over every thinkable option the young Phenex could have. As he was stuck in his thoughts, he didn't notice he walked by a blond silhouette figure dressed in purple. 'I must think at his level… what would he use?'

"Greetings, Itachi, it's been awhile." The figure called out, snapping Itachi out from his train of thought. He knew this voice, sweet, humble, and classy noble like tone of voice. Itachi turned around, casting a glance upon the figure.

"Well, Ravel Phenex…" Standing before him was a young beautiful girl, with long blond hair tied into large drill curly twintails tied with dark blue ribbons that matched her eyes. She wore a light purple dress with dark purple accents and a blue bow on the front. Decorated on the back with feather like decorations. "I must say, it's been a few years." Itachi instantly realized why she was here. 'Really Raiser? Using your own little sister as a way to distract me? Fine, I will play along.' Itachi greeted the youngest Phenex with a smile. She gracefully bowed when greeting him, and returned the smile. While in the distance, a strange looking bird watched over them.

Meanwhile, at the Occult Research Club, Rias and her peerage were having a lovely meeting. When suddenly a circle of flames erupted in the center of the room, forming a magic circle. "Ah, it's been a long time since I was last in the human world. I've come to greet you, my dear Rias." Out from the flames walked out a blond-haired man, looking in his early twenties. His eyes dark piercing blue, fixated upon Rias. Issei standing in the background, when he saw this man one impression rose in his mind. This guy is a player, the way he was dressed was that of a classic playboy. A red blazer with matching pants with a white dress shirt underneath, and black dress shoes. Who is this prick?

"Raiser? What are you doing here?" Rias gave the man a venomous glare, although Raiser merely smirked as he analyzed Rias from top to toe. Looking like he liked what he saw.

"I've merely come to greet you, my love." Raiser smugly declared.

"Buchou, who is this guy?" Issei kept his eyes on this Raiser, not liking the way he eyed Rias. Not that it was that different from his perverted gaze, but this guy seemed like he was real trouble.

"Raiser Phenex, the third son of the High-class Phenex family. He is a pureblood devil, just like Rias buchou." Akeno was the one to introduce Raiser to Issei, to which Issei looked in slight awe. This being the third noble devil he had seen besides Rias and Sona. "He is also competing for Rias' hand in marriage."

"M-Marriage?! This guy?!" Issei looked outraged, although then suddenly something popped into his mind. 'Wait, there is a competition for who gets to marry buchou? Where do I sign up?!'

"I've come here to end the contest. Although it seems like he is not here. So, I've come here to propose an idea." Raiser grabbed onto Rias chin and looked into her eyes, as she glared back with hatred. "How about you earn your freedom back yourself? Compete in a Rating Game against me."

Back in town with Ravel and Itachi. Itachi had offered to show Ravel around town, seeing as she has never been to the human realm that much. "I must say, I am quite surprised you came all this way just to visit." Itachi had his acting face on, he knew why Ravel was here, but he couldn't let her know that.

"Indeed. It's been such a long time since I last saw you and Rias. I figured I should at least stop by when I have time." Ravel smiled kindly onto Itachi, truly looking like she was happy to see him. And Itachi being an expert to detect lies, could tell her feeling was genuine.

"I see…" Itachi thought back to the very day he first met the youngest of the Phenex family. It was right around after his first battle against Sairaorg, during an assembly held by all the noble devil families.

Flashback, 9 years ago in the Underworld

The sound of classical music played within a ballroom, as many high-class devils had gathered for the festivities. And along with them, their children as well. Amongst the crowd, walked a lonely little blond girl looking to be no older than six or seven. This was the young Ravel Phenex. She fidgetily and nervously walked through the crowd, searching for her older brother. "Onii-sama, where are you?" The little girl was on verge of tears, as she clutched onto a stuffed white bunny rabbit doll in her hand.

Ravel flinched as she heard the voices of other children, she looked to the source which was on a balcony. She carefully peeked through the curtains, seeing the 10-year-old Rias Gremory, along with Sona Sitri, Sairaorg Bael, and Itachi Sitri. All watching in anticipation as Itachi held a few peddles of rocks in his hand. 'What are they doing?' Ravel curiously walked out on the balcony, when suddenly Itachi threw a peddle rock off the balcony and she heard a clank as he hit something.

"Man, that was a good shot. You hit that can all the way over at that tree branch." Sairaorg praised and patted Itachi on the back. "As expected of my rival!"

"That was nothing." Itachi had his crow familiar line up new cans onto the same tree, although on various branches and one that was out of sight. "Now then…" Itachi held three rocks in between the fingers of his rights hand, and left hand. And swiftly tossed the one in his right, and then the ones in his left. The rocks clashed into each other, and bounced off in different directions towards the tree. Five cans were instantly knocked over, and the sixth rock bounced off from another tree branch and bounced off sending it clashing into the can in the blind spot. To which Rias and Sona looked on in awe.

"Amazing Itachi, you even hit the one in the blind spot!" The young Rias' eyes sparkled in curiosity.

"That's my older brother for you." Sona huffed in pride over her older brother, and then looked to him with a curious gaze. "Umm, onii-sama, could you possibly teach me how to do that when we get back home?" Sona looked at her older twin with her big pleading puppy dog eyes.

"Sure, I would be happy to." Itachi couldn't say no to Sona when she looked like that. And to this answer Sona jumped with joy, although quickly composed herself from this embarrassing act in case anyone else saw her.

"Okay then, rival. I have one final challenge for you." Sairaorg picked up a rock, tossing it up and down in his palm. "Get your rocks and get ready." Sairaorg smirked, and Itachi did as he was told, picking up more peddle sized rocks. Sairaorg then threw his rock into the tree at incredible force to make the great distance, and making it so that some leaves fell off from it. "Hit all those leaves before they touch the ground."

Itachi however, got the point before Sairaorg told him, and had already began throwing the rocks in the same fashion as last time. The rocks bouncing into each other changing trajectory. And thus, hitting all marks perfectly and without looking like he needed much effort. To this Sairaorg gaped a little, and then looked over to his rival. "Hey, where did you learn this by the way? I can't imagine Behemoth training you in rock throwing."

"I don't know, maybe from a previous life." Itachi said it like it was meant to be a joke, to which they all shared a chuckle.

Ravel curiously looks at Itachi, her stuffed white bunny tucked under her arm. She had heard of Itachi from her brother Raiser. According to Raiser, Itachi was an annoying little brat amongst other things. "Hn? Looks like you got an audience rival." Sairaorg notices the young Ravel, whom got spooked and ran to hide behind Rias, clinging onto her.

"Ravel? What are you doing here?" Rias gently asks the little girl, whom was too nervous to even make a sound, looking at Itachi with curiosity and a slight hint of fear. "Hey, what's wrong?" Rias gently holds onto little Ravel's shoulder, to which she looks rather comfortable.

"Umm, Rias onee-sama… I'm looking for onii-sama. Ha-Have you seen him?" Ravel carefully mutters, and Rias flinches a little at the mentioning of Raiser.

"No, I've not seen your brother. Sorry." Despite her dislike of Raiser, Rias held no ill will towards the sweet innocent little Ravel. In fact, she actually liked the youngest of the Phenex family. "And please, don't call me that." Even though how much Rias liked Ravel, she didn't like her calling her onee-sama, but that was because she didn't want to be associated with Raiser.

"Why does she call you that?" Sairaorg asked looking curiously, while Sona sighed thinking it should be rather obvious.

"Umm, well… onii-sama says he is going to marry Rias… so she would become my onee-sama…" Ravel carefully replied, to which Rias let out a slight annoyed sigh at Raiser's foolishness.

"Look, I'm not going to marry Raiser." Rias gently tried to tell Ravel, although the young girl merely looked confused. Too young, and unknowing of how her brother usually acts around other people.

"Why not?" Ravel asks, looking kind of sad like she wanted Rias for a big sister.

"That's… it's complicated. Besides… I have someone else I like." Rias peeks towards Itachi, which doesn't go unnoticed by Ravel whom looks to the young Sitri heir. Indeed, he was pretty as Ravel would describe it. But being the innocent little girl, she was, she saw no faults in her older brother Raiser. She curiously looks to Itachi's throwing skills, the way he threw the rocks and hit every target perfectly.

Itachi noticed the curiosity in Ravel's eyes as she eyed the rock in his hand. "Do you want me to teach you?" Itachi kindly offers with a gentle smile, Ravel isn't sure what to say because of the bad impression she had of Itachi thanks to Raiser. She held her tiny hand onto Rias', whom gently urged her to accept the offer.

"It's okay, he won't bite." Rias jokingly said and gently pushed Ravel towards Itachi.

Ravel fidgetily looks at Itachi, clearly nervous as she avoided eye contact. Itachi let out an internal sigh wondering just what kind of things Raiser had said to the poor girl. "I'm Itachi Sitri… and you are?" Itachi carefully reached his hand out, and Ravel although curious eyed Itachi's hand with suspicion.

"R-Ravel Phenex…" Ravel carefully replied and carefully reached her tiny hand out. Itachi shook her hand gently greeting her with a smile.

"Nice to meet you, Ravel. Come, I will show you the tick to this." Ravel handed her stuffed bunny over to Rias, not trusting anyone else to take care of it. Ravel nods carefully and walks up to Itachi. Itachi then steps behind her, handing her a rock peddle. Gently grabbing a hold of her wrist with his right hand, and her shoulder with his left. He carefully guided her hand first. "Now, don't hold the rock too tightly, loosen your grip just a little. Take a deep breath, focus on the tree and the can. Now, it's all about how you move your wrist." Itachi gently swayed her arm back and forth. "Now, nice hand gently…" Itachi then has Ravel throw the rock, and it just manages to grace a can making it tip over.

Ravel looks ecstatic over having managed to do it. "I did it! I did it!" Ravel cheered, to which Rias giggled and the other smiled onto her.

"Hey, give it a few years and she might get better than you." Sairaorg teased Itachi, whom rolled his eyes a little at that comment.

"Okay, okay, do you want to try again?" Itachi looks to Ravel whom eagerly nods. Ravel instantly saw Itachi in a new light, thinking he was the coolest guy she had met. She tried a few more shots, missing some, and hitting some as well. Although, this didn't last very long.

"Ravel!" Walking out on the balcony was none other than Raiser Phenex.

"Onii-sama!" Ravel cheerfully greeted and walked to hug her brother. Although Raiser barely paid any attention to her and glared at Itachi with a scowl. "Look onii-sama! Itachi-sama taught me a neat trick!" Ravel cheerfully declared, although Raise clicked his tongue at this and snarled at Itachi much to the young Ravel's confusion.

"Not only did you have to steal my bride, but now you are trying to take my darling Ravel as well? You got a lot of nerve punk!" Raiser glared at Itachi, to which Ravel looked slightly frightened.

"I was merely trying to keep her in a good mood. Seeing as she looked lost and was looking for you. Don't try and blame because you left her at the party by herself." Itachi stared Raiser down, not intimidated at all by the third son of the Phenex family.

"The hell do you know? She was fine, come Ravel let's go!" Raiser grabbed onto his little sister's wrist and dragged her with him.

"Ah! Mister bunny!" Ravel called out as Rias still held onto her stuffed bunny rabbit.

"Here you go." Rias rushed up to Ravel, and gave back the stuffed bunny rabbit. "Don't you think you should think about what she wants first?" Rias harshly looked to Raiser whom merely scoffed.

"Heh, she's a child. She doesn't know what she wants yet. Anyway, thanks for giving her back her toy my dear Rias. Come Ravel, mother and father are waiting." Raiser dragged Ravel with him, and the moment they were out of hearing range. "Listen Ravel, don't go near Itachi. That guy is a cocky arrogant little brat. You are too good to be seen hanging out with the likes of him." Ravel however, did not listen to her brother's rant. Knowing he was wrong, as she has seen a different side to Itachi. His gentle smile remained in the back of her head. Ravel didn't say anything however about it, knowing it would upset her dearest big brother.

Flashback end

Itachi took a detour with Ravel, heading towards an alternative route to the academy. Using Ravel's lack of knowledge of the town, and keeping her distracted with conversation to lead her to Kuoh Academy, to Rias current location. "You should just return to the Underworld. You are too good for this world and these weak humans." Despite what Raiser told her as young, Ravel had nothing but great respect for Itachi, as shown in her words just now.

"These so-called weak humans are needed for our species survival. The days of noble devils have come to and end, the current high ranked devils just don't realize it yet. A new era is about to begin, one that shall overshadow the past failures of the previous era." Itachi gently replies, although he merely gets a huff and a sigh from Ravel.

"And it is that exact attitude that has made you known as not only the strongest devil of our generation. But also, the most hated." Ravel revealed, as Itachi was indeed hated amongst the rest of the high-class devil society. Minus his own family, the Gremory family, Sairaorg and a few others. The ones that hate him, hates him for supporting that kind of ideal. And ideal that undermines the noble statues of the high ranked devil houses.

"That may be true. Although I do not care about being hated. As long as I have my comrades support that is plenty enough for me." Itachi truly didn't care about all the hate he got from others. He didn't even care when he worsened his reputation by taking in Kuroka, Eto and Raven into his peerage.

Meanwhile, back in the Occult Research Club. Raiser stood over Rias, challenging her to a Rating Game, attempting to play at her prideful nature. "Rating Game?" Issei questioned.

"It is similar to chess. Where high ranked devils use their servants to battle. Which is why our evil pieces are linked to chess pieces." Akeno explained the way of Rating Games to the ignorant Issei and Asia.

"So, basically Raiser attempts to challenge Rias Buchou to a Rating Game to force her to become his bride." Kiba explained.

"Ah, hell no! Don't go betting buchou's life on a mere game!" Issei shouted in outrage over this whole matter, having fallen in love with Rias. And would not stand for this guy to mistreat her.

"That isn't for you to decide, little brat." Raiser mocked Issei, whom activated his boosted gear ready to fight Raiser.

"Nor is it yours." A voice called out, as out from a magic circle exited an extremely beautiful silver haired maid. Issei instantly noticing her bust size, which rivaled that of Akeno.

"Grayfia…" Rias uttered in surprise at the arrival of her brother's queen.

"This matter is meant to be settled between you and the other contender for Rias Ojousama's hand." Grayfia with a flick of her finger, used magic to push Raiser and Rias from each other to make distance between them.

"Well, well, the Queen of Sirzechs Lucifer, rumored to be the Ultimate Queen. Now even I'm shaking in my boots." Raiser playfully held his hands up. "Besides, I don't see my contender around. And I want this matter settled today. Besides, if Rias decides to have a Rating Game against me. Not even you can stand in the way of that." Grayfia glared at Raiser, indeed if Rias were to accept there was nothing she could do. She could only wait for him to arrive. "So, what will it be Rias? Do you accept? Or are you too afraid?" Raiser smugly looked at Rias, whom flinched feeling this as a challenge to her pride.

"I'm not afraid of you! I will take you on and beat your spoiled Phenex immortal butt anytime, and anywhere!" Rias confidently declares without any hesitation, although she hasn't officially accepted the challenge which Akeno quickly went to advise her against.

"My, my, seems that some of that man's cocky attitude must have rubbed off on you." Raiser commented referring to Itachi, to which Rias immediately despite Grayfia's restriction walked straight up to Raiser. Much to the silver haired maids shock, being the only one aware of the restrictions she placed on both Rias and Raiser.

"It's not being cocky, but simply stating facts!" Rias gives an answer she felt Itachi would give.

"Buchou, I would advise against accepting that. Considering some of us lack experience." Akeno looked to Issei and Asia from the corner of her eye, and although Rias acknowledges that Akeno is right.

"No problem. I can take Raiser down along with the rest of his peerage by myself!" Rias declared, and by the tone of her voice she wasn't bluffing either. What's more Grayfia sort of felt like there was some truth to Rias bold claim.

'Ojousama… Could it be whenever Sirzechs said he had urgent business to take care of… he was training you…?' Grayfia certainly was going to interrogate her husband personally when she returned home.

"Don't bother, Rias." The door opened, and in walked Itachi with Ravel trying to drag him away while holding onto his shirt. "Like I said, I will deal with Raiser."

"Itachi-senpai…" Issei uttered, realizing something he hadn't even thought of before. 'Wait, if Itachi-senpai is Sona's older brother… then he must also be… a pureblooded devil.' Issei looked in awe at this realization.

Raiser clicked his tongue in annoyance at Itachi appearing here out of nowhere. "So, you figured out my plan?"

"The rumor of your so-called plan, has been spread around like a rumor around the Underworld. You really aren't that good at this." Itachi revealed to which Raiser looked away in embarrassment.

"Wait, why is Itachi-senpai going to take on Raiser?" Issei questioned.

"That is because Itachi-sama is the other contender for Rias Ojousama's hand." Grayfia revealed, to which Issei looked in shock. Remembering when he first laid eyes on Rias, that Itachi stood with her.

'This guy too… all these people trying to decide Buchou's future…!' Issei grinded his teeth in anger, unaware of Itachi's true intentions and therefor thinking he was just as bad as Raiser. "It's not right… that you all go on deciding her future for her!" Issei declared, to which Itachi and Rias both looked slightly astonished. Although Itachi completely agreed with Issei on that matter.

"Rias, if you want. I will gladly accept a Rating Game against you once I defeat Raiser. If you want to nullify the engagement." Itachi declared, to which Issei looked in bewilderment. And Raiser in anger that Itachi already declared his victory over him.

"That's…" Rias utters, not sure if she wants that. Sure, she wants Itachi to ask her to marry him, without their parents having arranged things. But if they already were, was there any point in cancelling it? She also wasn't sure if Itachi ever would ask her considering he was dealing with his own inner demons. Which she actually was dying to know what those demons were.

"Think about it." Itachi said, wanting to actually see how far Rias had grown in power.

"If you want to settle this today, that is fine by me. Let's do it. I'm ready whenever you are." Itachi declared, wanting to get this whole business over with.

"Itachi-sama, am I to take this that you and Raiser will hold the Rating Game today?" Grayfia asked, ready to give Sirzechs the call to arrange the game.

"Yes." Itachi declared as he smirked at Raiser.

"Ugh! Yeah, okay, let's do it!" Raiser snarled at Itachi, wanting to punch him in the face.

"Very well, I will call Sirzechs-sama and arrange things. Bring forth your peerage members." Grayfia declared, and instantly fourteen girls appeared out of a flaming magic circle. This being Raiser's peerage including Ravel.

"Oh, do I need to? I thought I could do this by myself. If you don't mind." Itachi casually said looking to the astonished Grayfia.

"W-Well, it would be preferable if you had your peerage with you." Grayfia replied, while everyone looked in sweat drop besides Rias whom looked in agreement to Itachi's words.

"Hmm, well they are mostly busy… I will see which one of them is available." Itachi brought out his cellphone and called Kuroka. "Ah, Kuroka. I want you to gather up our available peerage members. If they are busy with something, then leave them be. Meet me at Kuoh Academy the Occult Research clubroom." Raiser looked like he was about to explode with rage, feeling heavily underestimated.

In a matter of few minutes, Kuroka appeared with little Jack and a sleeping Bob. "I brought them captain! Nya!" Kuroka declared, to which most looked unimpressed. Minus Issei, whom stared in shock that Itachi had two such cuties in his peerage. He also connected the dots that Eto was probably also a member of Itachi's peerage. Remembering his encounter with the half ghoul at the church.

"Ah good, what about the rest?" Itachi felt the need to ask about the rest of his peerage.

"Hmm, well Harry is still overseas. Damian is still under arrest at the local police station for giving his cultural speech in public. We can always go bail him out if you want him here." Kuroka suggested, to which Itachi hummed over the idea.

Meanwhile, at the local police station. The sound of a harmonica being played echoed through the quiet streets. Within the station sitting in a cell, was Damian, playing on the harmonica. "Ohhh, I've been a bad boy." *Harmonica plays "Now I'm sittin' here. Waitin' for my friends to bail me out." *Harmonica, Bass and drums play. As his two other cellmates played on the bass and the drum, all three humming at once. "We've been bad boys…" *Harmonica plays, all three humming at once. "The man holds us down." *All three humming at once. "While we wait for bail."

"Where did they get those instruments?" One of the officers asked, the same officer whom brought Damian in. Damian merely gave a wink at the question.

"Who knows? The guy is like a magician." The officer that arrested Damian shrugged, being used to this by now.

Back with Itachi and the rest. "No, let's not. Otherwise I feel like he won't learn his lesson. We'll bail him out tomorrow." Itachi replied to which everyone sweat dropped over how cold Itachi acted, leaving his own peerage member behind. He sure was strict, was what went through Issei's mind.

"And as for the others, Raven was busy meditating to see if her father would attempt something in the near future. And Eto was busy writing her latest book, said she was close to her deadline." Kuroka finished to which Itachi hummed.

"Hn, very well that is fine. By the way, are you sure it was okay to bring Bob? He's still sleeping." Itachi looked down onto the sleeping petite man laying on a body pillow. "I mean, it might be overkill to have all of us in a Rating Game against Raiser."

"Are you mocking me with that cocky attitude again?!" Raiser went up in Itachi's face, whom remained stoic.

"I'm simply stating facts here." Itachi calmly replied, to which flames erupted from the top of Raiser's head.

"Should I bring him back?" Kuroka asked, and Itachi merely shrugged.

"Since you took the trouble of bringing him here… I guess he can participate." Itachi without care declared, and then looked to Grayfia. "Okay, we're ready."

"V-Very well… I shall go and contact Sirzechs-sama." Grayfia vanished through a magic circle, leaving everyone in this awkward atmosphere.

"Ah? Bob-san!" Asia smiles upon seeing the sleeping little man, to which Issei and everyone looks confused wondering how she knows Bob.

"Asia, how do you know him?" Issei asked.

"I told you before, remember? Bob-san is the one who saved me from those Fallen Angels when I went to see you that day." Asia revealed to which Issei looked stunned. Looking to the sleeping Bob.

'This guy? He looks so weak… how did he save Asia from those Fallen Angels?' Issei pondered, even more shocked that the rest of the gang found it believable. Was this Bob like super amazing or something?

It didn't take long for Grayfia to return, saying everything was ready. And that this day has been prepared for years. Raiser vanished instantly with his peerage to go and prepare for the Game. While Itachi got permission to prepare his peerage here in the Occult Research Club.

Despite this being a matter for Itachi's peerage, Rias and her group remained there as well to hear Itachi's inspirational speech to his team. Itachi looked onto his three peerage members, well two since one was asleep. His gaze stoic, and emotionless. "… Well, just do your best." Was all Itachi said to which Issei and Asia both fell over in surprise. And then the Rating Game was ready to begin, Rias took her Peerage and met up with Sona to join the audience watching over the Game. While Itachi and three of his peerage members, got ready to teleported to the arena.

Itachi gathered together with his three peerage members, Kuroka, Bob whom was still asleep on a body pillow, and Jack whom was dragging said pillow with the petite sleeping Bob. They vanished through a magic circle, the location changed from the comfort of the Occult Research Club. Into what appeared to be a different dimension, a gigantic arena surrounded by a space void. The arena was decorated with gigantic chess piece statues, and two pillars with the contenders on top of them. While in a different dimensional space a massive audience had gathered. Which was amazing since this was arranged on such short notice. And amongst the audience were Sona Sitri and her peerage. As well as Rias Gremory whom was standing with her peerage.

The Gremory group and Sitri group overheard whispers amongst the other young High-class devils. "Man, as much as I want that little brat to lose. I can't see Raiser defeating him."

"Huh? Raiser clearly outnumbers him. That pacifist idealistic moron didn't even bring his entire peerage."

"I know right? It's almost like he is giving up and handing Rias to Raiser on a silver platter." The young devils laughed amongst themselves. Issei stared perplexed, wasn't Itachi one of them? Wasn't he also a High ranked devil? He found it odd that the most popular guy in school, was this hated amongst his own people. He was so caught up in the conversation the high ranked devils had, that he didn't notice Rias and Sona flinch in anger.

"So? He is still the strongest devil of our generation."

"Argh! Have a little faith. I would love to see that cheeky brat taken down a bit for trash talking our family's ways."

"Yeah, right. The only one amongst us that can is Sairaorg. And they are basically best friends."

Both Rias and Sona had enough, their anger tensed up along with their aura which caught everyone's attention. And the three young High-ranked devils backed up a little in fear. Where as Issei was trembling while sweating at the pressure his master and the Student Council President unleashed. 'Scary!' Was all Issei could think. He and Asia also couldn't help but notice that Akeno, Kiba, Koneko also tensed up in anger, same with some of Sona's peerage members.

"They must really like Itachi-san…" Asia uttered to Issei whom could only nod in agreement, as it seemed everyone amongst them that knew Itachi had a good relationship with him. Rias walks up to the balcony, looking down on the arena.

"Itachi! Beat that damned spoiled chicken up! Show no mercy!" Rias shouted, something Issei noted was an uncharacteristic act of her. He never imagined Rias would do something like that. What's more, this shut the whispering devils up.

As Issei stare perplexed at his master, he hears Akeno giggling behind him. "When it comes to Itachi, Rias gets very defensive and outspoken. She has such respect for him that she can't stand anyone bad mouthing him." Issei merely looks in awe, a look which is later replaced by a look of jealousy.

'I see… Buchou loves Itachi-senpai then…' Issei lowered his head, because the girl he had a crush on was in love with someone else. 'Man, this sucks…' Issei sighed.

On the two pillars standing on opposite end of the arena. The far right had Itachi Sitri and the three of his seven peerage members that he had found. Bob, Kuroka and Jack. And on the other pillar to the far left was Raiser Phenex and all his fifteen peerage members looking quite overconfident as they outnumbered Itachi and his peerage by quite a lot.

"..." Ravel Phenex, was left with her thoughts. Left to wonder why someone with such talent like Itachi, would stand against High-class devil society, his own kind. The words he had spoken earlier today had really hit her deeper than she realized. As she had a flashback of when she first met Itachi, the young devil smiling kindly to her as he tossed a rock up and down in his hand. However, she was brought out from her trip down memory lane, as Raiser laid his hand onto her shoulder.

"What is wrong Ravel? You seem worried." Raiser looked down onto his quiet sister. Looking concerned for her as Ravel usually wasn't this quiet when it came to a Rating Game.

"I-I'm fine, onii-sama… I just can't help but wonder how easy this will be." Ravel lied, although Raiser didn't pick up on it thinking that this is more like the Ravel he knows.

"I won't be so sure that it will be easy, but we will definitely win." Raiser declared with an overconfident smirk, even though he believed he had the upper hand, he also knew Itachi was the strongest young devil of their generation.

"Finish them off quickly." Was all Itachi had to say to his peerage members, Kuroka and Jack nodded while Bob was still sleeping. "How long has it been?" Itachi asked looking over at little Jack whom held an alarm clock.

"It's been a total of 8 hours." Jack said as she looked at Bob's alarm clock within her tiny hands.

"Hn, well we don't have any more time to spare. Might as well wake Bob up." Itachi looked down upon the snoring petite little man, as he signaled Jack to wake him up.

"Got it." Jack nodded and kicked Bob of the giant pillar and sent him crashing down onto the arena in a large thud.

"Ah! Bob-san!" Asia gasped at this act, same with Issei thinking that was a rather harsh way to wake someone up.

"AAAAAHHHH!" Bob let out a yawn as he stood up from the dust cloud from his fall, stretching his body. "Is it morning already? I don't feel like I've slept that much…" Bob yawns as he scratches his back.

Jack and Kuroka jumped down next to Bob. "You've been asleep for 8 hours now, we woke you up because we have a Rating Game match against Raiser Phenex right now. Nya." Kuroka informed the tired little boy of a man whom looked at Raiser and his peerage with sleepy eyes.

"Umm, I don't see how that little Bob guy can be any help…" Issei uttered thinking Bob looked extremely weak. He still couldn't believe this little guy saved Asia from those Fallen Angels.

"Issei-san, Bob-san is actually really amazing!" Asia commented, making Issei feel even more jealous. Unaware that despite her words, Asia actually loved Issei.

"Bob is actually one of the strongest members of the Seven Deadly Sins. Thanks to his special magic ability." Sona explained to the clueless pervert, as well as her own two new pawns. A blond-haired boy around Issei's age, Genshirou Saji. And a little girl around Koneko and Ravel's age with brown hair tied into twintails, Ruruko Nimura.

"Special magic ability?" Issei questioned.

Bob let out another yawn as he wobbly walked towards the pillar with Raiser and his peerage members. "Get them." Raiser said with a narrowed look at Itachi's peerage members, and all fifteen of them leaped down and charged head forwards at them. Raiser's weakest peerage member, his pawn, the blue haired Mira charged at Bob and thrusted her staff right into him sending Bob flying back. Then three other pawns, Shuriya the one dressed like a Brazilian dancer, Burent and Marion the maid duo, attacked Bob each delivering a heavy hit sending Bob skidding back.

As Bob skidded back, it looked like his body grew bigger. His petite body turning more muscular, his pajama shirt getting torn and ripped to pieces. Bob then managed to stop himself from skidding back, firmly planting his feet to the ground. Looking like he wasn't affected at all. "Is this all you young ladies got?" Bob asked in a deeper manlier tone.

"Heh, why would we use our full power against you? Whom was just a little shrimp earlier?" Shuriya crossed her arms, her giant chest and metal bra with its accessories jiggling as a result. Giving Bob an overconfident smirk.

"Then you all better start using it, I would rather not want to hurt all you lovely young ladies that much. You all better actually give up while you can." Bob said as his pajama shirt got ripped open and looked more like a vest now. His very body now resembling that of Son Goku from Dragon Ball Z as Issei would describe it. His face looking more mature, and he slicked back his hair with only a single bang going over his forehead as well as a few strains of hair.

"Wh-What? His body… it's changed… what's going on?" Mira questioned looking rather taken aback by Bob's transformation.

"Wow! He looks so ripped now!" Issei gaped in shock.

"This is Bob's magic ability. Storage Magic, it allows him to store up energy in his body the longer he sleeps, every hour his strength, magic and spirit increases dramatically. His prime form is his 23-hour state where he becomes equally as powerful as a Faction leader. If he sleeps for 24 hours the energy he stored up would be reduced to zero, and he would have to sleep even longer to restore it. The moment he stores up his energy and wakes up, his lazy personality also slightly changes. And he keeps this energy until 24 hours have passed since he fell asleep. For example, if he sleeps for 23 hours, he keeps that energy for 1-hour. While as in his current state, his 8-hour state which lasts for 16 hours. And then, once the time has passed, he gets reduced back to his petite lazy state." Sona explained Bob's magic ability which Issei and Saji both looked confused over.

"Heh, let's get him." Marion said as the four pawns charged head towards Bob. Mira thrusted once again her staff at Bob, she slammed the edge of her staff into Bob's gut, but he didn't even flinch.

Bob looked down onto the staff and grabbed a hold of it. Mira gritted her teeth and tried to pull her staff back but to no avail as Bob's grip was too strong. "It seems my war hammer was left behind. I won't be able to lift it in my state anyway. So, I will take your staff as a replacement for now." Bob swung his body around and swung Mira whom was still holding onto the staff along with him. And with the intense pressure and force, she was thrown off and sent flying. Bob swung the staff over his head testing out the feel of it and the weight. "Hmm, a little bit on the light side, but it will have to do for now."

"M-My staff…" Mira glared at Bob, as without the staff there wasn't much she could do.

"Now then, since I'm a pawn. Why don't all of you, pawns of Raiser Phenex come at me all at once? That way this might be a fair fight." Bob said with the staff swung over his shoulder.

"Are you mocking us?!" One of the cat twins, Ni hissed in anger.

"You don't stand a chance against all eight of us!" The other cat twin, Li declared and all eight pawns charged towards him.

""Slice him up! Slice him up!"" Two twin girls with chainsaws chanted in unison while their chainsaws let out a blazing fire.

Bob had a strange aura gather around the staff he was wielding and charged towards the pawns. He jabbed the end of staff into Mira first, the young girl hurled up a small pool of blood as she was sent crashing into a giant chess pillar.

"One of Raiser Phenex's pawns, retired." Grayfia's voice declared, and Mira vanished in a blue light as a result.

"He's fast…" Shuriya uttered as Bob was suddenly between her, Marion and Burent. "How in the hell did he-" Before she could say anything else, Bob swung the staff to the side sending a massive powerful shockwave around him. Knocking the three girls to the side, the shockwave ripping through their clothes. And knocking them out, to which they also vanished in a blue light.

"Three of Raiser Phenex's pawns, retired."

The two cat twins charged at Bob with their cat glove paws raised. Bob swung his arm to the side hitting Li in the gut, and slamming her into Ni. Sending them both flying with a broken rib, over to the massive pawn statue. Making two dents in the statue as the twin cat girls crashed into it. The chainsaw twins then charged at Bob from behind. They swung their chainsaws at him, but Bob swiftly turned around, and he blocked them with the staff. Despite the chainsaws being merged with fire, they could not cut through. ""What?!"" They both questioned in unison as Bob pushed them back and swung the staff down onto their backs. Sending them crashing to the ground creating two small craters, and they all vanished in a blue flash of light.

"Four of Raiser Phenex's pawns, retired."

"Now then, how about I deal with you two Rooks next?" Bob turned his attention towards Xuelan and Isabela, both getting over the shock at how quickly Bob disposed of all of Raiser's pawns. Xuelan got into Kung Fu defensive stance, while Isabela went into a more classic boxing stance.

Kuroka stood before one of the bishops, Mihae, and the queen Yubelluna. "My, my, to think that I will get the honor of defeating the Sin of Lust, Kuroka." Yubelluna overconfidently looked down upon Kuroka, as she floated in midair charging up a magic circle with her staff.

Kuroka merely smirked as she looked up on Yubelluna. Kuroka was then blasted by a wave of explosions from Yubelluna's staff. Now the Bomb Queen awaited the retire announcement. "Yeah, I don't think so. Nya." Kuroka appeared behind the kimono wearing Bishop, Mihae. "I promised the captain that I would end this quickly. So, no hard feelings, 'kay? Nya." Kuorka with a flick of her finger surrounded Mihae in a cage of magic circles, bombarding her with wave of blue flames.

"Argh!" Mihae screamed in pain as she vanished in a blue light.

"One of Raiser Phenex's bishops, retired."

"You all seem to be dropping like flies, nya." Kuroka moved her hand like it was a cat's paw and winked mockingly at Yubelluna.

"Insolent little cat!" Yubelluna blasted Kuroka with a second wave of explosion.

"Over here. Nya." Kuroka appeared behind her, to which Yubelluna bombarded her with explosions yet again.

"No over here. Nya." Another Kuroka appeared on her right. And suddenly before Yubelluna could realize it, she was surrounded by five different Kuroka's.

"What? Clones?" Yubelluna questioned a little taken aback.

"Not quite. Nya." The five Kuroka's charged at Yubelluna quickly acted with a swing of her staff surrounding herself in a circle of explosions, catching all of the five Kuroka's with it. However, they were mere mirages as they didn't vanish or seem affected by Yubelluna's attacks.

"Wait, mirages?! Then where is- Argh!" Yubelluna couldn't finish her sentence as she was blasted in the back with a magic bullet, piercing through her right shoulder. Yubelluna hissed in pain, and looked behind her seeing Kuroka standing at the same spot she stood when she defeated Mihae.

"As I am part Yokai, I am an expert at Senjutsu and Youjutsu." Kuroka said as she formed some rune signs in midair and then a strange dark purple mist spread around Yubelluna.

"M-My body… I can't move…" Yubelluna uttered as her body was completely restrained. Her muscles refusing to budge even an inch to this paralyzing mist. Yubelluna plummeted to the ground, as with her muscles restrained, she could not fly.

"This poisonous mist helps me restrain my opponents. You won't be able to use Phenex tears to help you out with this one." Kuroka walked up to Yubelluna, grabbing a hold of Phenex' Queen's chin, and looked her straight in the eyes. Yubelluna looked a little frightened, as cold sweat ran down her face, and her body wouldn't stop trembling. "This fight is over. Nya." Kuroka said with a scary looking face that turned into a cute one the moment she said "Nya" and then Kuroka exploded in a blazing blue fire. Yubelluna screamed in pain as she felt her body burning, and then she vanished in a flash of blue light. And Kuroka stood a great distance from her. "Exploding mirage clones, a skill I learned thanks to the Captain's training." Kuroka winked, and despite her bad reputation in the Underworld, she earned many cheers from the audience.

"Raiser Phenex's queen, retired."

"N-No way… even Yubelluna…" Ravel uttered in shock as she, Siris and Carlamine stood before Jack whom looked at them with an emotionless gaze.

"This is Jack the Sin of Wrath huh? How interesting." Carlamine analyzed the tiny little assassin, and readied her sword that let out a blazing fire around it. Jack moved at incredible blinding speed, that the two Phenex knights were unable to keep up with. Before they knew it, Jack was hovering above them with seven magic swords forming out of nowhere in midair.

Rebellion!

Jack swung down her arm and sent the blades stabbing into Siris, stabbing her shoulders and back as she screamed in pain and fell over. "One eliminated."

"One of Raiser Phenex's knights, retired."

"What kind of Sacred Gear was that?!" Carlamine swung her blade at Jack whom vanished at immense speed. Carlamine widened her eyes when suddenly a pair of legs wrapped around her waist and two blades were stabbed into her shoulders. "Argh!" Carlamine screamed in pain, blood gushing out from the stab wounds on her shoulders. She pushed Jack off and swung her flame sword at her. Jack blocked the strike with a magical knife, and with Carlamine's superior physical strength Jack was pushed back. Around Jack gathered a pitch-black aura, and her eyes flashed red with killer intent. Then Jack vanished from Carlamine's sight. "S-Such speed." Carlamine uttered in awe when suddenly Jack stabbed her in the gut with a blade, and quickly pulled it out, leaped up and held the blade at her neck.

Carlamine was shaking and trembling in fear, her body paralyzed from the stab wound in her gut. With Jack's body latched onto her, it was like she was caught in a cobra's cold grasp. "Who… what are you?"

"We are Jack, Jack the Ripper." Jack replied with an emotionless glare of a killer.

"Jack the Ripper?" Saji questioned from the audience with a look of shock.

"The second I should mention the police of London gave her the name the Second Jack the Ripper. Jack was born in the cold streets of London, desperately trying to return to a place she considered to be warm, a mother's womb. She went on a killing spree, then Onii-sama found her and offered her a home." Sona explained.

"Her Sacred Gear, what is it?" Issei questioned.

"Rebellion." Rias was the one this time to answer. "It is similar to Yuuto's Sacred Gear, Jack can create blades out of thin air, although unlike Yuuto she can create any kind of sword, holy, demonic and many others. Each blade has a different effect on different species, this Sacred Gears power allows Jack to fight and kill most opponents no matter what species they are from, hence the name Rebellion."

"Jack, remember, no killing!" Itachi warned his Knight, like Raiser he was still standing on the pillar watching over the fight.

"Yes, understood." Jack replied and simply stabbed the blade into a non-vital spot on Carlamine making her scream in pain. The amount of blood loss, plus the shock made her fall over and hence vanish in a blue light.

"One of Raiser Phenex's knights, retired."

Bob fought off the two Phenex Rooks blocking each strike with the aura infused staff, Bob gave a right upper cut to Isabela sending her flying a little over the ground. Bob followed up with delivering a kick to Xuelan, whom held her hands out to block the kick. Although the pure force of it, was enough to send her skidding backwards.

"We're the last ones standing to protect Raiser-sama and Ravel-sama! We cannot fall!" Xuelan regained her footing and charged head on towards Bob with Isabela, whom had shaken off the shock from that blow earlier.

"Right! Let finish him off and take care of the rest!" Isabela charged as Xuelan merged her fists and feet with fire throwing a barrage of powerful punches and kicks at Bob. Bob caught Xuelan's fist and blocked the strike from Isabela with the staff. They then leaped back and charged head towards at him once more, they both punched the staff at the same time breaking it in half. Bob quickly grabbed onto both the broken pieces and thrusted each end into their guts making them vomit out a little blood.

"I am not the kind of man that enjoys beating on people weaker than I. But I will fight if I must." Bob said and at blinding speed, swung his leg up giving a spin kick to Xuelan's jaw sending her flying into the air. He then threw a powerful punch into Isabela's gut making her flinch in pain, attempting to grab onto Bob's wrist to give Xuelan an opening to attack. Bob however, with a swing of his arm dragged Isabella with him sending her flying, as she couldn't hold her grip. Xuelan took a backflip midair, and landed behind Bob. Bob turned around just in time to get punched in the face by Xuelan, which sent him skidding sideways a few feet.

Xuelan jumped at him, and threw a barrage of punches and kicks at Bob with her fists infused in flames and same as her feet. Bob took each intense fiery blow and was still standing like it was nothing. He then looked up with some bangs covering his forehead, and then spat some blood to the side. "Those were some powerful punches, you are without a doubt strong, for a normal Rook that is. But I'm not normal." Bob said and quickly threw a heavy punch into her gut paralyzing her muscles, and then karate chopped her on the neck knocking her out cold. Xuelan then vanished in a bright blue light.

"One of Raiser Phenex's rooks, retired."

"One left to go." Bob turned to Isabela, whom looked at him like he was a worthy opponent. Isabela smirked, seeing Bob as a great warrior for her to battle. Isabela then rushed at him and moved her fists like a boxer. Bob took use of his boxing skills, thus blocking and countering each strike.

"You are very powerful, Bob, the Sin of Sloth. I respect that." Isabela complimented Bob's strength, as she slugged her fists at him.

"Why thank you, you are not too shabby yourself." Bob complimented which made the masked rook smirk as she threw a powerful upper cut punch to Bob's jaw. Isabela then threw a powerful kick to his gut and then slammed her right fist into his face with a right hook.

"How about now? Am I more than just not too shabby?" Isabela cracked her knuckles, seeing blood drip from Bob's nose.

"Perhaps," Bob wiped the blood away from his nose, as he smirked at Isabela. "if you can survive this that is." Bob rose his arm behind his back and held out his palm. Before Isabela could react, Bob had leaped towards her and thrusted his palm into her stomach. The blow shot out such a powerful shockwave, that sent Isabella flying into a Rook statue, breaking it in half upon impact. "That was a taste of my full power in this state." Bob declared as Isabela stepped out from the ruins of the Rook statue, while holding her arms over her stomach while her body was shaking.

She fell to her knees, unable to stand from the shock of the impact left on her body. "Heh… You really are… strong." Isabela fell over and passed out, and then she vanished in a blue light.

"One of Raiser Phenex's rooks, retired."

"W-Wait, I'm the only one left?" Ravel questioned backing up a bit as in front of her was Jack. "Stand back!" Ravel blasted Jack with a sphere of fire creating an explosion. Once the smoke cleared it revealed that Jack was gone, she then reappeared bending down in front of Ravel with a red orange blade decorated with marks of orange feathers. Jack swung the blade at the Phenex girl cutting her arm clean off from her elbow and down. "ARGH!" Ravel screamed in pain as blood gushed out and her arm for some reason did not heal. "Wh-Why won't it heal?! What did you do?!" Ravel glared at Jack, tears swelling in her eyes from the pain.

"We call this Anti-Phenex Blade, when we cut you, you won't heal." Jack explained in her own little way.

"In a more explained term, that blade has the ability to nullify your family's healing powers for one hour. So, you won't be able to heal any injury she gives you with that for one hour." Kuroka explained as she and Bob surrounded the poor little Phenex girl. Itachi felt bad for Ravel, but this was a competition, besides he knew she would recover from it.

"N-No way…" Ravel backed up in fear over Jack, for the first time she was vulnerable, and her immortality and healing powers could not help her. "I-I give up…" Ravel uttered while trembling in fear, and as a sign of her surrender she vanished in a blue light.

"One of Raiser Phenex bishops, retired."

"Ravel…" Rias uttered from the audience, like Itachi also feeling bad at seeing the frightened little Phenex girl tremble.

Raiser growled in anger over the fact that all his pieces had lost without taking out a single one of Itachi's. Bob then with a single punch, shattered the platform Raiser was standing on making the Phenex fly down to face them. "And all alone stands the King, ready to be taken." Bob said with an emotionless frightening glare as Kuroka and Jack stood next to him. "You have lost."

Raiser stood in front of Bob, Kuroka and Jack. Sweating that they had easily defeated all of his servants. Raiser growled in anger, after having gone through all that trouble trying to force Rias Gremory into marriage with him. His plan was failing bit by bit, he only had one chance to win this Rating Game now. "Hey! How about you and I settle this ourselves, Itachi Sitri! After all this is between the two of us, how about you let your servants back off for this?! And fight me yourself!" Raiser challenged Itachi, knowing the only way to win now was to take out the King which in this case was Itachi.

Itachi narrowed his gaze at Raiser, and Kuroka formed a blue flame in her palm not going to comply with Raiser's challenge. "Yeah right, I will just end this little game here and now. Face it, Phenex you have lost this match. There is no way you can defeat Itachi nor any of us." Kuroka said ready to attack the overconfident High-Class devil.

"No. Kuroka, he is right. This is a matter to settle between him and me. I will fight Raiser alone, stand down, all of you." Itachi ordered and jumped down from his platform and walked over to Raiser, Itachi's servants did as they were told and stepped aside. "It's been 14 years since this all began. I think it's time to end this."

"Heh, you should just give up and hand Rias over to me! There is no way you can beat my immortality, you presumptuous brat!" Raiser declared smugly.

Itachi let out a sigh at Raiser's foolishness. "I don't like repeating myself so let me make this as perfectly clear as I can. First of all, immortal is not the same as invincible. And secondly, I'm not handing Rias over to anyone!" Itachi declared, passion behind in his voice. And the beautiful red haired Gremory heiress heart skipped a beat upon hearing those words.

"We'll see about that!" Raiser's body exploded in violent fire, gathering it together into his right fist. Raiser glared at Itachi and ran towards him with his fist raised, yet Itachi didn't show any signs of dodging or moving. He just stood there with his arms crossed. Raiser gritted his teeth in anger, feeling like he was being mocked by Itachi. Itachi's eyes flashed in a bright shade of red, as they turned into the sharingan. Raiser took a giant leap towards Itachi, and slammed his fiery fist right into Itachi's chest. Although, then Itachi exploded into a murder of crows. "What the?" Raiser raised his brow, as suddenly the screeching crows started flocking around him. With the crows' dark feathers shutting off all light, as the flock circled around Raiser. Raiser freaked out, looked around to find a gap to escape through as the crows closed in on him. Then it all became black, there was nothing but darkness.

"…"

"…"

"…"

Then suddenly, like someone lit a match, there was light. Raiser produced fire from his hand, although spooked he backed away. As the first thing he saw was a giant painting. It was a painting of Itachi, holding a defeated Raiser by the collar at the arena where they were competing in a Rating Game just a few seconds ago. "What is this…?" Raiser growls as he burns the painting, only to discover that behind it was a dark corridor. He looked behind him, only to see nothing but a wall so his only way to get out of here was through the dark corridor.

"This must be an illusion or something… Ha! Think you can scare me, brat?!" Raiser walks down the corridor, his hand still lighted up in fire. He looked around and eventually, he saw a door at the end of the hallway. Raiser reached for the door handle, although the moment he touched it, the door was kicked open and Raiser was knocked onto his ass. Raiser looked up, seeing a tall dark figure he could barely make out. "Father?" Raiser raised his brow as he held his fire hand out, seeing it was his father's face. Lord Phenex stared down on Raiser, looking angry, disappointed and ashamed.

"To think my own son would turn out to be this weak… Couldn't even injure Itachi Sitri during your Rating Game, your defeat was truly a disgrace to our family name. You are herby disowned from our family, get out of my sight weakling." Lord Phenex kicked Raiser away from the door, and straight through the wall behind him.

"Argh! Father…" Raiser looked up, only to see the wall being completely fine like if he had never been kicked through it. And the door with his father was gone as well. Raiser stood up, and saw a new pathway through the corridor. "You think this funny brat? You think that old geezer scares me?!" Raiser's voice got angrier by the second, ready to pummel Itachi to a bloody pulp the moment he got out from here. "I… I will not lose to you!"

Raiser walked down the dark corridor, and as he went around the corner, he saw two different pathways. Which one would he take? Did it matter what he took? He eventually decided to go left. Although then Raiser reached a dead end. "Argh, great…" Raiser turned around, and straight up in his face was Itachi, no it was an ice statue of Itachi. Raiser leaned up against the wall, breathing heavier with sweat pouring down his face. He glared at the ice statue, and swung his fire fist into it, melting it away in almost an instant. "S-See, you aren't better than me…!" Raiser kept his courage up and walked back. Although, he didn't arrive back at the end with the two different pathways.

Instead he was led into a room, with a fireplace in the end of it. "Where am I?" Raiser looked around, seeing he was alone. Or so he thought, but the moment he turned to the fireplace he saw all his servants minus Ravel.

"G-Girls? What are you doing here?" All of his servants looked upon him in disgust.

"We aren't your girls anymore. We cannot afford to serve such a pathetic excuse of a master." Yubelluna harshly looked to Raiser whom looked taken aback.

"You failed us." Isabella spat down at his feet.

"You've never been able to satisfy us anyway." Xuelan couldn't even bring herself to look at Raiser, too disgusted by his presence.

""Yeah, you perv."" The chainsaw twins mocked him.

"Therefor, we would rather die than be apart of your peerage." Carlamine declared as the fire from the fireplace behind the girls, exploded and engulfed them. Raiser attempted to reach out, although he couldn't move. He just watched as the girls merely glared at him, as they were being burnt away. Their bodies getting darker, and darker, their clothes and hair getting burnt away. Then there was nothing but ashes and their evil pieces laying amongst the ashes.

Raiser fell to his knees, and reached out for the evil pieces. "If that ever happens… I will just get new ones!" Raiser hissed as he reached out towards the evil pieces, only for the pieces to be reduced to dust.

"Lame." Raiser looked up, seeing Ravel looking down on him. "You are so lame, brother." Ravel didn't use honorifics to address him anymore, she held her bishop piece in her hand, and burnt it away. "You are nothing like Itachi-sama. I wish he was my older brother instead of garbage like you." Ravel looked disgusted as she glared at Raiser, Raiser attempted to reach for his beloved sister.

"Ravel!" Although the moment he got up, Ravel vanished and he was instead inside of a room. A room filled with newspapers, and a table with a radio.

"So, today marks the one-year anniversary of Raiser Phenex's death, whom shortly took his own life after his family disowned him."

"What?" Raiser backed up, seeming spooked at what the lady on the radio said.

"I'm sorry, who?"

"You know, Raiser of the Phenex family."

"You don't mean Ravel, do you?" The male anchor seeming actually saddened at the idea of Ravel having died.

"No, Raiser, the third son of the Phenex family."

"Ravel had a younger brother? How old was he?" Raiser growls at hearing them talk about him like he was nobody. He picked up one of the newspapers, and the headline made him boil with rage.

"No, you know what. It doesn't matter. Let's forget about him and move on."

"Yes, let's." Raiser furiously burned the newspaper in his hand, with the headline. "Raiser Phenex is dead. The Underworld doesn't care." Raiser threw the burnt newspaper aside, and lit the whole room on fire in his rage.

"In other news, the wedding ceremony of Itachi Sitri and Rias Gremory. Was held earlier today in the human world in the lovely town of Kyoto in Japan."

"That does it! You think this fake crap scares me?! Just because of that, I will make my mark onto Rias' body as she becomes my wife! I will even take the girls in your peerage! Ugh, no one is forgetting me!" Raiser threw a temper tantrum as the entire room was burning. "Now, how do I get out of here?" Raiser looked around, seeing there was no exit in the room. No door, no window no nothing. He tried teleporting himself out, but he just reappeared in the same room.

"Dammit!" In frustration, Raiser threw fireball after fireball across the room. Trying to create an exit instead. "Let me out!" Raiser threw a fireball into the wall on the far right, to which it cracked and broke down. Raiser smirked and jumped out from the hole in wall, and then he was falling. He fell into the darkness that seemed like an endless void of nothingness.

Although eventually, he saw fog. And a yard, it was a foggy yard surrounded by giant fences. Raiser landed into the yard, stuck again with no way out. He tried to melt the fences, although failed, he tried to fly over them but was pushed back down. With nothing to do, he had no choice but to walk around the foggy yard. "Itachi! I know you are still there! Let me out! You cannot keep me in here forever!" Raiser turned around, and was met by a towering ice Itachi statue. Raiser was so spooked that he fell onto his ass. Enraged he melted the ice statue away in an instant. "Where are you?!"

Raiser turned around again, this time there were two ice statues of Itachi glaring him down. "Argh!" Raiser melted both away with a wave of fire. He turned around again, and this time there were four ice statues of Itachi glaring him down. "Show your face!" Raiser melted away the ice statues again. He backed up, and was met with a cold sensation. He leaped away and saw eight ice Itachi statues, all glaring at him. He turned around and saw sixteen more, all glaring at him. "Out of ideas?!"

Every time Raiser turned around, he saw the double amount of numbers of Itachi ice statues glaring at him. It didn't take long until he was completely surrounded. Raiser in frustration begins attacking every ice statue that he sees, although more just keep appearing out of nowhere. Yet Raiser keeps melting them away one after the other, and the double amount keeps reappearing. All looking at him, glaring, surrounding and trapping him in.

Raiser then explodes with fire, melting the ice statues. Although out from one of the statues, jumps out the real Itachi. Kneeing Raiser in the chin, grabbing him by the back of his head. And Itachi then slams Raiser's face down into the dirt, leaps up and stomps his foot onto his back. Raiser wobbly picks himself up, his vision blurry, he looks up seeing Itachi with his red glowing sharingan eyes glaring at him. Itachi then punches Raiser in the face, sending him flying into a wall.

The wall cracked, rays of light shining through the cracks. Raiser looks behind him, and sees no sign of Itachi anywhere. He then looks to the wall, and begins blasting it with fireballs. Raiser walks into the light, thinking it was the exit. The light cleared away, revealing a dark walkway, and at the end there was a door with a blazing red "Exit" sign over it.

"Ha! So long brat. It's been interesting but I'm getting out." Raiser walks towards the door, while letting out a snort. "To think, you almost scared me there… Me? Huh, I ain't afraid of nothing."

"You are afraid." Itachi's voice responded back to him, like an echo. "Afraid of losing, afraid of becoming nothing. And you will become nothing, Raiser." The exit door then opened, revealing Itachi's shadowy figure that was only illuminated by his red glowing sharingan eyes. "Because of me." Itachi walks onto the walkway and towards Raiser, whom begins backing away in fear.

"N-No!" Raiser bombards Itachi with spheres of fire, only for Itachi to burst into a murder of crows. And for Itachi to walk out from the falling feathers. "No!" Raiser keeps bombarding him, and Itachi burst into a murder of crows, and walks out from the falling feathers. It keeps repeating itself, over and over again. Raiser keeps backing up until his back is up against the wall. "Stay away from me!" Raiser throws a punch only for Itachi to push his arm aside, grabbing the frightened Phenex by his collar and lifting him up.

"I am your greatest fear." Itachi declares, glaring into Raiser's eyes digging into his very soul with those blazing red sharingan eyes. Itachi then tosses Raiser down onto the walkway, and begins beating on him. Stabbing him with swords, freezing him, drowning him. He keeps on beating Raiser, shattering his mind bit by bit.

Raiser wobbly picked himself up, only for Itachi to kick him straight through the exit door. Raiser's mind broken and shattered. "AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!" Raiser screams, sweat pouring down his face as he backs away.

Back into reality, Raiser woke up, seeing Itachi standing before him. And the whimpering Raiser's fist planted onto Itachi's chest, not even having made a single scratch on the young Sitri heir. Raiser backed away, trembling in fear, tripping over and falling onto his ass.

"Finally, some development. After having taken Raiser Phenex's attack like it was nothing. Both Itachi and Raiser have merely stood frozen on the same spot for the past five minutes, now finally moving. And it seems Raiser Phenex is frightened?" Grayfia announces through the speakers of the Game, and Raiser looks in disbelief, they hadn't even moved since Raiser threw the first punch. No one knew Raiser had been walking through Itachi's illusion this whole time. Raiser whimpers away in fear from Itachi, whom walks towards the frightened Phenex.

Itachi's footsteps going like an echo in the back of Raiser's mind. "N-No… go away… stay away…" Raiser crawls away, and Itachi thinking Raiser finally had enough stopped and looked up.

"I think he's had enough. Since he is unable to fight anymore, I assume this is my win, correct?" Itachi was met with a short few seconds of silence as everyone debated over it.

"We've reached a conclusion. The winner of this Rating Game, is Itachi Sitri. Whom won without even raising his fist." Grayfia announced, and the arena shattered as a result. And Itachi, Kuroka, Bob, Jack and the frightened Raiser all vanished in a blue light.

Itachi is brought to where the audience is, and is instantly met with a hug from Rias. Whom seems to be crying with joy that this whole mess was finally over. The scene switches as they spin around hugging, into them hugging at the Occult Research Club. With everyone celebrating Itachi's victory over Raiser. Rias breaks the hug, looks into Itachi's deep dark eyes, and he into her deep beautiful blue eyes. Rias leans her face in closer and plants her soft pink lips onto Itachi's, and Itachi kisses back.

Issei standing in the corner with Kiba, let's out a sigh of jealousy. But also, in relief that Rias seemed happy. "Something wrong? Issei-kun?" Kiba looked to Issei, handing him some juice.

"Ah, it's just… I thought for a moment that Itachi-senpai was just like that Raiser prick. Guess I was wrong, he actually cares about Buchou."

"Ah, well you see. Unlike Raiser Phenex, Rias buchou actually likes Itachi. They have been friends since childhood after all." Kiba reveals, to which Issei looks a little stunned at first.

"Childhood friends, huh? I see…" Issei utters, still looking somewhat jealous, and probably still had a crush on Rias for saving his life.

"Ah, feels good for this mess to finally be over." Rias smiled as she broke the kiss with Itachi, whom smiled back at her.

"Yeah…" Itachi looked to be in deep thought. Maybe, just this once he could allow himself to be a little selfish. "Hey, how about I take you out on a date? You know, to celebrate that this whole Raiser mess is over. Just the two of us." Itachi's suggestion made Rias look in aback, not having expected it. She was so shocked she couldn't speak for a second to which Itachi chuckled. "Is that perhaps a no?" Itachi teased breaking Rias out from her shock.

"No! I mean, yes… No wait, I mean." Rias panicked, worried that she might mess this up, which Itachi thought was cute. Rias took a short moment to collect herself. "Yes, I would very much like that." She accepted, feeling like her heart was about to explode with joy. As they made plans for their little date, the party continued.

Meanwhile, within Fallen Angel territory. Three Fallen Angels were thrown before Kokabiel's feet. Held down and restrained by guards. "So, these are Azazel's little spies, hm? Now that my plan is ready, I cannot afford you to report back to our dearest Governor. Soon, we Fallen Angels, shall stand atop of all Factions." Kokabiel let out a maniacal laughter as he incinerated the spies with a wave of light. "Make preparations for project Fallen Arch and project Holy Sword." Kokabiel announced to his guards, whom all let out roaring cheers.

That's the end for now!

And finally, the long-awaited battle between Raiser and Itachi took place. What did you guys think? Did you expect more? Or was this pretty much how you imagined it would go? Seeing as Itachi is so strong, and so are all his peerage members I couldn't imagine Raiser and his group being much of trouble to him. So, this was the end result.

In honor of celebrating their victory, Itachi has decided to ask Rias out for a date. Although will it go well? Seeing as Kokabiel is scheming behind the scenes. Will Rias accept that Rating Game with Itachi?

Oh, and in case some wonder why this arc was only one chapter long. It is simply because this has been a subject going on since almost the beginning of the story. Didn't really need any more to increase the tension of the matter or build up before the fight. So therefor, this "arc" took place in only a single chapter.

Anyway, leave a review!

-Later!

(responds to reviews):

Problemchild667: You are welcome! And here you go!

EmilyGonzalez: Thanks! And Happy new year.

TehStorm: Well, as you can see. Raiser stood no chance against Itachi and the Sins. And Itachi has a bad reputation amongst the rest of the high ranked devil society minus a few certain individuals. And although Issei is jealous, he is sort of happy that Rias is happy. But still very jealous.

andresskorskiruiz: Thanks! And that battle between Esdeath and Grayfia might be more explored in the future. And I'm thinking about it, Serafall hasn't shown much interest in the opposite sex before so… why not. But I'm still thinking about it.

Scorez: If Itachi had fought back, Amon's light would most likely had incinerated the villagers during the fight. Itachi just witnessed the guy wipe out low ranked devil soldiers by them merely being in his presence. A fight right then and there would have been too risky. Besides, the factions didn't have a good relationship with each other then. You have to look at the bigger picture here, everything in that flashback was told from Raynare's pov. I have planned for both Itachi and Amon to tell their own pov. on that day. Just saying there is more to the story of that incident.

Guest: Raynare is dead, yes. Amon's reaction to it, well he probably won't take it very well. And Esdeath so far isn't a part of Itachi's harem. Considering her actually to be paired up with Serafall. And Chisato won't be in the story, sorry.

plums: There were changes. The thing with the Raynare arc, is that there aren't that many dramatic changes to make. Unlike some other arcs. The whole point of the Raynare arc in this story, was mostly to display the rocky relationship between devils and fallen angels. As well as hype up Kokabiel's future arc.

BomBashious: … Koneko is too good for Issei XD Besides, I could always pair Koneko up with someone else. Like Kiba, Gasper etc. There are many options here. And since we've already talked through PM about the rest, there isn't much to say. But I do understand what you are saying.

Bluefang129: We've already talked a lot through PM, so not much to say.

DarkReaderSeiin: Thank you! And you are welcome.

merendinoemiliano: Thanks! And happy new year!

ahweilee1999: You are welcome!

NobodyOwens5: Yeah, all of Raven's spells have the same chant. And thanks.

Harambe: And now it is over XD hope you liked the arc.

Keyblademaster 21177: Yeah, I have been very busy with things. Still am with my job and all.

zahidderux: Yes, they will.

Galieiah: No, I don't think so.

Guest: Bob has shown before that he doesn't like killing. He didn't fight Itachi at full force right away when he first met him out of fear for killing someone. Plus, he thought he could scare them away. Not everything has to be solved through killing, is all I'm saying.

TeraBaapBSDK: Here you go!

WeeDevil: Thanks! Well, it's not wrong of you to do it. But I am not planning for Bob and Asia to be a thing, so…

Datboi: Yeah, no shit XD

Kemb92: You guys sure focus on a very few minor insignificant moments. Like seriously, there are changes, there wasn't that much to change about this first arc is all. Unless all of you wanted Itachi to go on a killing spree form the very get go, without fear of consequences that might follow. This whole Raynare arc was to show the rocky relationship between devils and fallen angels. As well as to hype up Kokabiel's arc.

razmire: That is his name yes. But like I said I won't confirm anything about the culprit of the death of Yuuma.
