Chapter 22: Infinity!

A/N: Now, I know some have been disappointed that Itachi hasn't shown many flashy moves in fights. And that I have given some of the sins "screen time". I know Itachi is still the MC of this story, but it is also about the sins in general so they deserve some flashy fights every now and then. And I can assure you, in the near future of this story Itachi will display new techniques and even forms. Also, the one person who PM'd me asking about more ecchi scenes. It being DxD it will naturally be some scenes like that, but I'm trying not to overdo it.

The three young devils of Kuoh Academy, Itachi, Rias and Sona all had gathered in the Student Council room. Sona sitting in her throne like chair as Student Council president, with Itachi and Rias sitting on the other side of her desk. Each of them having their queens accompanying them. Kuroka standing at Itachi's side, Akeno at Rias', and Tsubaki and Sona's. The lights in the room dimmed down, to which the only source of light was the sunlight coming from the windows. "So, the dreadful day is nearly here." Sona looked troubled. Her tone of voice was very serious and stern.

Rias bit her thumb fingernail in frustration. "And we cannot prevent it? We're doomed then?"

Itachi hummed, rubbing his chin and sweating a bit trying to figure out a solution. "It would appear so… This threat, is too great, there is no escape from it." Itachi, Rias and Sona all sighed and hung their heads in defeat.

As their masters were experiencing despair. Kuroka, Akeno and Tsubaki all looked with dumbfound expressions and sweat dropped. "… All this ruckus over Parents' Day. Nya." Kuroka uttered. Even though she and the others knew that their masters worry and concerns, were entirely justified considering their families. But judging by the mood of the room, one would think the world was ending.

"… Shall we move onto less pressing matters?" Sona suggested, straightening her glasses which made her look dead serious. "The Peace conference is coming up in a few weeks. And it has been announced by the representing leaders of each faction, for it to be held here at Kuoh Academy."

"Less pressing matters, she says…." Kuroka comments, sweat dropping even more that the peace conference was considered less important compared to a mere day at school were parents come to observe their children.

"More importantly… Am I the only one who keeps asking, why is it always this town?" Itachi rubbed his temple seeming troubled that trouble followed them wherever they went.

"Knowing onee-sama, she probably picked the academy as an excuse for a sleepover after the conference…" Sona sighed, dreading the day already in her mind.

"Sirzechs probably did it for the same reason. That, and to "inspect" the meeting place for the conference so he won't be avoiding his duties as a Maou." Itachi knew just how much the current Lucifer adored his younger sister.

"Seems all three of us will have our hands full." Rias gave a tired sigh. "What's more, father and mother are coming as well. So is Grayfia and my adorable little nephew."

"Our father and mother will also be attending." Itachi added, feeling like they were going over a guest list. Apparently, his father had entrusted his most loyal servant with dealings of their territory, just to come to the classroom visits. Well, with his mother attending perhaps things won't go too overboard with Serafall.

"Speaking of the peace conference… I can't help but feel a bit concerned." Sona revealed.

"I know what you mean." Itachi nodded in agreement. "Even though the leaders want peace… there are those that don't amongst the Three Factions. Those just like Kokabiel."

"The chances of an attack during the conference are high." Rias held her dominant hand to her chin. As the most obvious ones came to mind, the Old Maou Faction consisting of loyalists to the previous Four Maous that died during the war.

"And of course, with Kokabiel having escaped custody we can expect there is a possibility of him showing up." Sona looked rather grim. The news of Kokabiel's escape spread quickly. However, what remained a mystery to all was how he escaped. Or rather, who helped him.

"After the thrashing he got last time, I doubt we'll see him anytime soon." Itachi recalled how injured Kokabiel looked after his battle against Bob. The warmongers chest was practically almost caved in. Itachi had heard from Azazel that Amon had been taken into custody and placed under the Governor's direct command. So, it couldn't have been Amon who rescued Kokabiel. Amon is even said to have revealed all of Kokabiel's hideouts to Azazel, yet they had found no sign of the warmonger. "Besides, even if he comes back, we can deal with him. I am far more concerned about the Old Maou Faction."

"Indeed, I can't help but wonder if we are ready to deal with them…" Rias looked concerned, knowing she still had two rookie servants in the form of Issei and Asia.

"Rias, may I offer you a suggestion?" Itachi's knew why she was troubled. She had tried to train Issei to the best of her abilities yet he still hadn't unlocked his Balance Breaker. This concern must have grown after witnessing the White Dragon Emperor in his Balance Breaker.

"Please do." Rias accepted.

"Damian is quite refined in the use of his Sacred Gear. Perhaps he can aid Issei Hyoudou in learning to better understand and control his? I can even offer to personally oversee his training." To this, Rias looked rather conflicted. She wasn't totally against the idea, but she really didn't want to trouble Itachi with her Peerage's problems.

"I-I wouldn't want to bother you with-" Rias tried to speak against it, but Itachi quickly interjected.

"No bother, we are all in this together. I know asking for help from others can be rather… difficult sometimes. But doing things on your own will only lead to failure." Itachi looked with kindness in his eyes, genuinely wanting to help.

"I-" Rias still looked rather conflicted, although she felt weak in her knees whilst facing Itachi's kind gaze.

"How about, instead of calling it help. We'll call it a favor." Itachi suggested this knowing it would ease Rias' mind a bit. She was still quite the proud young woman after all. "In return, I will ask for a favor from you another time. Sounds fair?"

Rias couldn't help but smile, Itachi really knew how to push her buttons the right way sometimes. "Very well, I will gladly accept this favor."

"Ahem." Sona lightly called out to gain their attention. "Now that matter is settled. Perhaps we should return discussing the crucial problem that is our family?"

"What do you propose?" Itachi looked with a raised brow at his sister, whom responded with a menacing glint in her eye.

"Seeing as Rias owes you a favor now… She should repay by overseeing our families while me and onii-sama slip away from the chaos." Sona declared, leaving Rias speechless and with a look of betrayal on her face.

"I-Itachi you tricked me!" Rias looked accusingly at him with teary eyes.

"Eh? Wait, what?" Itachi looked a bit taken aback at the sudden accusation.

"Well, it is settled. Let's be on our way." Sona raised herself from her chair, ready to leave. Only to be halted by Rias holding onto her wrist.

"Hold it! Although I owe Itachi a favor! I don't seem to recall owing you one, Sona! If I go down you go with me!" Rias and Sona began bickering like children.

"Oh, just take your punishment and be done with it!" Sona tried to yank herself out from Rias' iron grip, yet was unable to escape the Gremory princess superior strength.

"Punishment?! I haven't even done anything wrong! You should be punished for trying to leave me with such a heavy burden!"

"Look at you, calling your darling family a burden! That alone calls for punishment. Now let go!" Itachi at the sidelines with Kuroka, Akeno and Tsubaki had nervous beads of sweat after hearing such claims of hypocrisy.

"She speaks like she didn't call her family a crucial problem…" Kuroka commented by whispering into Itachi's ear, looking also slightly amused at the scene of the two young devil ladies bickering.

"Now, now, calm down. We'll all have to deal with our families. No one is going to have to do it alone." Itachi's words fell on deaf ears, as the two young ladies were busy bickering with each other. Their individual aura's putting pressure upon the air in the room.

"Let me go! You big chested sow!" Sona insulted as she and Rias glared daggers at each other. Sparks of tension flickering between them.

"This again? You are just jealous because you don't have anything worth mentioning!" Rias threw back, causing the other three big breasted girls in the room to back up a bit to avoid throwing salt into the wound in Sona's pride.

Sona's cheeks burnt bright red. "Why you!"

"Oh dear…" Itachi sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose. Like whenever Rias and Sona would bicker when they were children, Itachi stepped in, pushing them away from one another. "Now, now calm down you two." Itachi held them apart, the two girls panting while glaring at each other.

"Hmph!" The two girls huffed to the side.

"Now, we'll all be responsible for making sure our families don't go overboard like usual. We'll each carry our individual burden. Are we in agreement?" Itachi looked in between them, the tension still high.

"Fine." Sona pouted a bit.

"Yeah, fine." Rias like Sona, also pouted.

"Great. Now Rias, make sure to inform Issei to meet at our home for his training after school tomorrow. I will make sure Damian is ready as well to teach him." Itachi's presence managed to ease the tension. He was already well learned in how to deal with his younger twin sister, and his fiancé whenever they end up bickering. Although, he had to admit, it was easier dealing with Sona.

As the following night, Rias laid naked under the covers of a bed while cuddling up to Itachi's arm. Her face all pouty and cute as she mumbles something about Sona being a dummy. 'It always ends up like this…' Itachi looked as stoic as ever. He had actually gotten so used to having Rias laying naked in his bed, that he doesn't mind. Her warmth and soft skin actually felt comfortable up against his. Itachi even admired how the moonlight shined through the window onto her adorable face. Rias' blue eyes reflected in the moonlight.

"Hmm." Rias mumbled while still pouting like a child. Itachi in responds slipped his arm out from her grasp, and out from in between Rias' soft bouncing boobs. He took his arm around her and held her close. "Heh, I love you." Rias softly whispered as she smiled and cuddled her face up against Itachi's chest. Her right leg wrapped over Itachi's waist pulling him in closer, and her soft bouncing chest pushed up against his stomach. Having completely forgotten her argument with Sona, Rias relaxingly fell asleep in Itachi's arms.

"… And I you." Itachi whispered once he was sure she was asleep. Rias' bosom heaving with every gentle breath she took. Itachi looked at her beautiful face, and her long flowing red crimson hair. Feeling his devil instincts kick in, Itachi leans his face closer to hers. But his mind holds him back, memories of how much misery he has brought people and how he has robbed others from happiness. What right did he have to claim happiness for himself? Itachi thus pulled his face back, and looked up at the ceiling slowly falling asleep himself.

The very next day, Issei and Asia had followed their friends in the Occult Research club home. And was left awestruck at the skyscraper they called home. Well, Issei kind of suspected something like this with someone with such a high status like his master Rias. But still to actually see it was something to behold. 'This is Buchou's home… this is where she lives…' Issei was gawking. Normally he would have been over the moon at visiting his crushes home. But he also knew this was the home of Itachi, which filled him with such jealousy it was painful.

"Welcome to our home." Rias welcomed her two beloved servants with open arms, granting both a hug. Issei focused on Rias' scent, despite being a devil she smelled divine. Issei quickly regained focus once Rias broke the hug, she warmly smiled at them like a big sister to her younger siblings.

"You all live here?" Asia looked in awe as they walked into the living room, seeing all the floors with different rooms. It was almost like a high-class hotel.

"Yeah, Xenovia's even moved in recently. We would have asked the two of you to move in as well. But I'm not going to force Issei away from his parents. And you wanted to stay with him so…" Rias gave them a quick tour of the place. And honestly, a part of Issei wished he lived here seeing the luxury the others lived in.

Rias guided them towards an elevator, and pressed a button leading to one of the under-level floors. "And here…" Rias halted as the elevator doors opened, revealing a hallway, leading into really high-tech like looking room. "The training area. If Itachi is not at school, or playing chess he is usually found down here." The walls and the floor were decorated with white tiles, there were some sort of machinery on the ceiling. The hallway that lead to the training area had four doors on the side. Two of the doors that were on the left side, were changing rooms and showers, one marked for men another for women. The two other doors were on the right side, one was a sauna, and the last door was a stairway leading to the observation room. "Now, go and get changed and meet up in the training area." Rias instructed, guiding Asia with her to the female changing room.

"R-Right…" Issei held his duffle bag with his change of clothes and walked into the men's changing area. He felt so out of place here. Issei noticed some familiar faces within the changing area. "Saji? Kiba?" Issei brightened up a bit.

"Yo, Hyoudou Issei." Saji greeted with a grin.

"Greetings, Issei-kun." Kiba greeted with his usual prince charming smile.

"You guys live here huh? Man, I'm so jealous." Issei went to the locker next to Saji's and began changing.

"I know what you mean! But I don't actually live here either…" Saji sunk his head in defeat, he also lived with his family in town. "Damn you prince charming!" Saji and Issei stared accusingly at Kiba for living with such luxuries.

"Ehehe…" Kiba gave a nervous chuckle, unsure how to respond.

"But what are you doing here then Saji?" Issei looked to his fellow pawn.

"Ah, kaichou invites me over every now and then to train. Says I need to get stronger and that she doesn't want to lose to Rias-senpai." Saji replied. "I'm surprised Rias-senpai hasn't invited you over before now actually… Then again, from what kaichou tells me she isn't that often around here anymore…"

"Huh?" Issei looked perplexed, buchou wasn't that often at home? Made him wonder what she does. Hopefully it wasn't that her and Itachi-senpai were going on dates all the time. "What about Itachi-senpai? Is he here often?" Issei casually asked, wanting to confirm his speculation.

"Hmm, I think so. Kaichou once brought me over to see him training actually. Man, that guy is insane." Saji whistled a bit at the memory of witnessing his master's older twin in action. "And whenever I am here training, he is playing chess with kaichou at the observation floor."

"What kind of training does a guy like Itachi-senpai do anyway? Apparently, he is going to supervise my training, just want to know what I am getting into."

"Itachi-senpai usually fights various simulations of different species. Devils, angels, fallen angels, dragons even. He also spars with all of his peerage members, I even witnessed him beat Bob at full power once." Kiba was the one to reply. "When he is sparring with Harry, that is when things truly get intense."

"Harry?" Issei and Saji both asked, unaware of who this Harry was.

"Oh, right you haven't meet him yet. Harry Newgate, he is Itachi-senpai's Rook and his strongest peerage member. He has been gone for a few months for an overseas cooking tournament. He should be getting back any day now actually." Issei and Saji both looked a bit intrigued at this Harry. Then something clicked within them.

"Wait, isn't Harry Newgate that big muscly guy that works in the school cafeteria? The one who looks like he is crouching in a small box whenever he is in the kitchen?" Issei would have looked more surprised, but he guessed someone that abnormally big and muscular would have been involved with this whole devil business.

"Yep that's him." Kiba chuckled a bit at how Issei described Harry.

"Man, I can't wait until he gets back! His burgers are to die for!" Saji's mouth was watering a bit.

Issei had dressed into his grey tracksuit he usually wears for gym class. He, Kiba and Saji then together headed off into the training area. And sitting in the center of the training area, was Itachi in a lotus position. And standing next to him was Damian, wearing black sweat pants and a shirt that had the words "Oppai" written over it.

Issei looked around, seeing Rias supervising Asia's training along with Akeno. And Rachel sparring with Kuroka. And sitting in the observation floor, was Sona overseeing them along with her queen Tsubaki.

"Welcome, shall we begin?" Itachi opened his eyes and eyed Issei, Saji and Kiba.

"Eh, where do I start?" Issei nervously asked.

"All three of you will attack Damian here simultaneously. From that alone I should be able to judge what level you all are at." Itachi replied and let his pawn take it from here. Damian stepped up and greeted his opponents.

"Yo, kouhai!" Damian gave Issei a friendly wave, and like a fellow man of culture Issei politely responded with a wave back.

"Hey, senpai! I will be in your care!" Issei smirked and summoned forth his Boosted Gear, the gauntlet glowing boosting up his power.

Saji readied himself, summoning forth a black gauntlet at the shape of a lizard's head. And Kiba got into position with his new Balance Breaker, knowing his purpose for today was to practice wielding it. "You may begin when ready." Itachi sat back and watched closely with his sharingan to carefully observe their movements.

"Yosh! Here I come!" Issei charged head first ready to punch Damian in the face.

"Tsk. Tsk. You are too impatient kouhai." Damian with a flick of his finger, had Issei's entire body restrained in wires. His arms and legs caught along with his neck. "If I wanted to, I could have killed ya."

"I didn't even see you move…" Issei looked in awe.

"He must have prepared them before we started." Kiba with his sword managed to cut through Damian's strings and free Issei. The young pervert nervously rubbing his neck at the thought that he could have died if Damian was an enemy.

"A good warrior must always be on guard. And observe the battle arena before going right in for the attack. The enemy is not always guaranteed to play fairly." Itachi lectured from where he was sitting. Looking stoic and unimpressed so far.

"Whoa!" Damian jumped out of the way, as a line came smacking down on him cracking the floorboard a bit with its immense force. "Sneaky, not what I would expect from a student council member." Damian smirked as Saji had attempted to attack while Damian wasn't paying attention.

"Never expect your opponents to play fairly, right?!" Saji smirked and swung his line that came from his gauntlet, attempting to catch Damian. With a flick of his wrist, and twitch of his fingers. Damian had already managed to restrain Saji's line in a web of strings.

Kiba using his knight speed came charging up from behind Damian, slashing his blade towards the senior pervert. "Whoa! Whoa! Dangerous!" Damian smirked as he ducked avoiding the slash. Hardening his strings Damian countered Kiba's strikes, the clang of metal clashing against each other echoing through the room.

Boost!

"Hiyah!" Issei came charging in from behind, yet Damian avoided his punch with ease by merely tilting his head to the side. Damian followed by elbowing Issei in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him. Issei gawked as he coughed up a small puddle of blood. "S-So strong…" Issei grunted, trying to catch his breath as he bawled over onto the floor.

"Too slow, kouhai." Damian eyed Issei from the corner of his eyes, still able to hold Kiba and Saji off as they had to fight through his web of strings guarding him.

Itachi frowned a bit, noting each of the trio's individual skill. He sighed, and clapped his hands seizing the sparring match. "I have seen what I need. As expected Kiba is the strongest out of you three. And Issei, you are the weakest." Itachi stood up, offering a helping hand for Issei. Issei however didn't take it, and stood up on his own. Feeling a bit bitter when he looked at Itachi, which didn't go unnoticed by Itachi.

"Saji, Kiba, continue sparring with Damian. Issei's next opponent, will be me." Itachi declared, earning a few gasps and looks of confusion around the room. Rias in particular looked a bit worried.

"W-What? B-But wasn't senpai supposed to teach me how to control my Sacred Gear?" Issei looked baffled, and a very nervous.

"That will come later. First, you spar with me." Itachi declared, holding his dominant right hand behind his back. "I will only fight you with one arm, and nothing but my arm. I will even close my eyes and not move from this spot." Itachi wasn't trying to undermine Issei, he was trying to show just how much skill Issei lacked and to help him improve.

Issei however, did not see it that way. Frowning as he glared at Itachi whilst activating his boosted gear. Then, however, Itachi held his hand out with his middle and index finger raised. "Wh-What are you doing?" Issei looked baffled.

"I'm showing respect to my opponent, before we begin our match." Itachi replied, his voice sounding genuine. "You are supposed to do the same." Itachi smiled a bit humorlessly at Issei's shocked reaction.

"Huh? O-Oh, right!" Issei quickly copied Itachi and held his fingers out in the same fashion. "Okay, here I come!" Issei attacked as Itachi had closed his eyes. Itachi easily caught Issei's fist, and bended Issei's wrist backwards making him yelp in pain.

"Sloppy." Itachi commented, as with his superior strength he brought Issei onto his knees.

Boost!

Issei's strength grew, but it still wasn't enough to break free from Itachi's grip. "Argh!" Issei cried a bit in pain. He boosted again, and again, and again.

Explosion!

Finally, Issei managed to slip his hand out from Itachi's grip. Itachi still had his eyes closed and remained calm. Issei took a leap in an attempt to confuse Itachi by attacking from above. His Devil wings spread out from his back. "Too loud." Itachi commented and caught Issei's drop kick, and swiftly threw him into the ground. "You lack stealth. And you rely too much on brute force." Itachi still holding onto Issei's ankle, hoisted Issei's entire body up again just to smack him back into the ground again. "Focuses on your senses, all of them. Try to find openings in your opponent's guard."

Issei acted, kicking his available foot into Itachi's hand to make him release his ankle. "…Tch!" Issei grunted, his body trembling with anger. And his Boosted Gear seemed to respond, as it started letting out a red glow. Issei got back up, and charged at Itachi with a war cry.

With his forearm, Itachi pushed Issei's incoming punch aside. Swiftly grabbing a hold of his wrist, and with his superior strength swings Issei's body around as he pushes Issei's arm up against his back in a lock hold. "Your Sacred Gear responds to your emotions. Use them to your advantage." Itachi pushes Issei's arm further, threatening to break it unless Issei manages to break free.

As he is caught, listening to Itachi's lecture. His mind is bobbling, all the suppressed emotions of jealousy and hatred Issei has for Itachi reaching the surface. "If it wasn't for him, you could have had Rias… It is his fault. He doesn't even seem to appreciate her feelings for him. It is so unfair." The voice of Raynare whispered in the back of Issei's mind, making Issei's suppressed emotions bubble over its breaking point.

"AAARRRGGGHHHHH!" Issei screamed as his Boosted Gear's glow intensified. And thus, Issei's gauntlet seemed to evolve, spreading further up his arm and golden spike shooting out from the sides of his wrist. The sound of flesh being penetrated could be heard for a split second, snapping Issei out of it. "Huh?" Issei peeked over his own shoulder, and to his horror. He saw one of the golden spikes had stabbed through Itachi's hand that was holding Issei in a lock.

Itachi doesn't flinch at his sudden injury, his eyes open and merely looking as stoic as ever as he eyed the wound. Issei on the other hand, looked terrified feeling like he did something that would get him killed.

"Argh! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Issei quickly went on his knees and started to bow apologetically before Itachi. Itachi's stoic face only making Issei more nervous as he thinks Itachi is angry with him.

"Ah, I see. I was right. By using your hatred towards me you managed to evolve your Sacred Gear. Well done." Itachi's sudden praise brought Issei in a state of shock, and everyone else who were listening looked surprised.

From within the observation room, Sona sighed rubbing her temple. "Typical of onii-sama, to pull a stunt like this."

"Your brother certainly has his ways." Tsubaki replied in agreement to her master.

Rias however, looked concerned at hearing Itachi's statement just now. She was concerned that her beloved servant was secretly holding anger towards Itachi, the man she loved. 'Issei… Itachi, I hope you know what you are doing…' Rias clutched her hand over her chest, looking nervous.

"W-What?! I don't hate you, I-" Issei tries instantly to deny it. Yet to his surprise Itachi doesn't even seem to mind it.

"It's no secret, I know why." Itachi says, making Issei gulp nervously. Issei nervously peeked over to Rias, fear that Itachi would reveal his feelings for her like this in front of everyone. If that happened, Issei would die from embarrassment.

"You hate me because in the eyes of the female public at the academy, I am "a pretty boy" and you are jealous over me getting the attention you desperately crave for." Itachi's answer, made Issei look cautious. He couldn't tell if Itachi was joking or not, because of his unreadable stoic pretty boy face.

Issei blinks for a few seconds, although that was the reason, he hated Itachi at first. Ever since Issei met Rias he didn't care much what other girls at the academy thought of him. Except for the adorable Asia of course. Issei decided to take this opportunity to avoid dying of embarrassment. "Y-Yeah! Death to pretty boys and all that." Issei gives a nervous laughter, trying to brush off the topic quickly.

"Preach it brother!" Saji and Damian cheered at his words.

Itachi and Issei both had themselves healed, Issei getting healed by the lovely Asia. And Itachi getting his hand healed by the stunning Raven aka. Rachel. Issei went on to continue his training with Damian in how to control his Sacred Gear better. Focusing on tapping into his emotions to make his Boosted Gear grow in power.

After a few hours, people were already going to the showers. By the end of it, Itachi, Damian and Issei were the only ones left. Even Sona and Tsubaki had left the observation room.

Issei is panting as he sits on a bench drinking from his water bottle. Itachi sat next to him, and out of nowhere. "Just so you know, I know you have a crush on Rias." Itachi casually mentions making Issei spit the water out from his mouth in shock. The young pervert leans over coughing.

"Wh-What?!" Issei asks in-between his coughs.

"I mean, it is obvious to me at least. Or am I wrong?" Itachi looks to Damian for a second opinion.

"Nah, any guy with experience in love can see clearly you have the hots for the redheaded princess." Damian agrees as he sips the water from his bottle.

"Y-You knew?" Issei asks in shock.

"Yes, I think Rias knows it as well. Maybe, not entirely sure. I didn't say it before to avoid embarrassing you in front of the others. I know that is your real reason for hating me." Itachi casually says it like it means nothing, although Issei can't help but look away in shame.

"…" Issei can't even find the words.

"You hate me, because I have the affection of the girl you like. Am I wrong?" Itachi peers over to Issei, awaiting an answer. He didn't look mad or upset, still Issei wasn't sure how Itachi would respond.

"I… No, you are not wrong. I'm jealous as hell…" Issei admitted clenching his hands around his water bottle, squashing it. "When I see the way she looks at you, knowing she will never look at me like that. It bugs me… Even more when you don't even seem to care. If you like her or don't like her, just tell her already! Is something I think of often." Issei confessed, it felt like a weight had been lifted off his chest. It felt a bit good, yet he still felt some shame.

"I see…" Itachi puts his hand onto Issei's shoulder, looking into his eyes. "A year ago, this town nearly faced destruction. The whole world actually." Itachi tells Issei the story of Trigon, leaving out the part that Raven is Trigon's daughter of course, and he tells Issei how they nearly all died.

Issei of course, is shocked at learning this. That a year ago, he and his family and friends all nearly died and they didn't even know it. Their lives were saved without them even knowing it. Itachi continues with the story, and the aftermath of the battle. "I was unconscious… and when I woke up. Rias sat by my side. I had been so worried for her, and the others, that on instinct I kissed her. And confessed my feelings for her. Even if I may not show it, I do like her. And I would do anything to protect her. And all of you. Even if it meant throwing my own life away."

Issei is left in awe, that Itachi would go that far for all of them. Yet he also looked confused. "Then… why aren't you and buchou dating? If you both know you like each other…"

Itachi looks to Issei, and Damian whom also seems curious. "I have actually been wondering about that as well, boss." Damian sat down next to them, awaiting an answer.

Itachi tries to formulate the best explanation he could manage in his head. He had to tell them something, or he could risk them asking Rias or Sona which would cause too many questions. "Because, despite what everyone thinks… I'm not what I seem. I'm not good." Itachi utters, thinking would a good person torture their little brother? Would a good person kill men, women and even children? He wasn't good, nor was he bad, he was just… broken. Yes, broken was the best way to describe himself.

Although Itachi had come to terms with his past life's actions, and left with no regrets. It didn't change the fact, that he himself thought happiness was not something he had earned the right to have, yet. "Rias, Akeno, Kuroka, Raven… All deserve someone better than me. We all have our inner demons, struggles to fight. And until I can overcome them… only then can I truly accept their affection in kind."

Issei and Damian exchange a look with each other, and then look back at Itachi. "What could you possibly have done that made you think that?" Issei questioned looking confused.

"Yeah, weren't you raised and spoiled like a rich kid? I mean you are a noble devil after all. Although surprisingly not spoiled." Damian commented.

Itachi looks to Issei, seeing his gaze of innocence. The same kind of innocence a child that have yet to witness the horrors of war would have. The same kind of innocence he himself used to have at one point. Innocence Sasuke used to have, until Itachi himself destroyed it. "… That's a story for another time." Itachi taps his fingers onto Issei's forehead, knocking him over.

"Owch! What was that for?" Issei cries a bit in pain, rubbing the sore spot on his forehead.

"Oh, sorry… I am used to using that much force on Rias and Sona. I forgot that pure blooded devils are more… durable." Itachi offers his hand to Issei to help him up. And Issei accepts as Itachi pulls him back up.

'Boss… I wonder what is going on inside your head right now.' Damian looks curiously at Itachi, he couldn't help but wonder what part of Itachi was that didn't make him good. This man had helped so many among the sins, trying to give them a better life, and saved some from despair. "Okay, break is over. Let's get back to training. I feel like we are close with a breakthrough in unlocking your Balance Breaker."

However, before they can continue, they are disrupted as a presence enters the room. All three look towards the entrance, seeing that Esdeath had been the one to disrupt their training. But she wasn't alone. With her was the Arch Angel, and the new leader of Heaven, Michael. The angel looking as noble and kind as ever. His golden twelve wings brightening up the room.

Issei however, is more focused on Esdeath. Gawking at the sight of the ice queen like beauty. 'Man, I'm getting some sick dominatrix vibes from her.'

The Angel approaches Itachi, with a gentle smile and aura making him look divine. "Greetings, Itachi Sitri. I haven't seen you since the battle against Trigon. Although I believe this is the first time, we've ever exchanged words."

Itachi peeks behind Michael and Esdeath, seeing Rias, Sona and the others trying to overhear their conversation. Guess they couldn't help but be curious what the leader of the Angels wanted with him. And neither could he. "So, what does the new ruler of Heaven want with me?" Itachi looks to Michael.

"My, calling me the ruler of Heaven… is a bit embarrassing. Anyway, I came here to thank you for the help all of you gave to retrieve the Excalibur fragments. And to show you my gratitude, I come with a gift for one of you. One that I think would suit the Red Dragon Emperor." Michael looks over to Issei, and in his hands he summons something from a divine light. "There isn't much I have to offer that I can give a devil. But with his dragon gauntlet, Issei Hyoudou can accept this holy blade. The Dragon Slayer, Ascalon."

Floating before Michael, was a sword oozing out a holy aura. "The holy sword of Saint George…" One could hear Kiba whisper in the back ground, he didn't seem as bothered by Holy swords anymore.

"A-A dragon slayer?" Issei looked confused and raised his brow.

"A sword meant to slay dragons. You should study more." Ddraig commented from within the gauntlet on Issei's arm. Issei thought it was a scary object, a blade meant to hunt people like him down and other dragons.

"Even though this is a holy sword. And you are a devil, with Ddraig's power you should be able to handle it. Do you think you can manage to assimilate it into the Boosted Gear?" Michael had the blade float closer to Issei.

"I-Is that possible?" Issei looked at his gauntlet awaiting Ddraig's responds.

"It depends on you. The Sacred gear answers on your feelings. If you wish for it, it should be possible. The same applies to you unlocking Balance Breaker by the way." Ddraig must be a bit annoyed that the Vanishing Dragon's host already had unlocked Balance Breaker.

"Why give it to me?" Issei couldn't help but wonder why such an important object was being given to him.

"It's like a peace offering one might say. I got myself some holy demonic swords from the Maous, so I thought I might offer this. As a sign of good faith, we wish to end the senseless conflict between the three great factions. Besides, someone of your status might be targeted by Dragon class opponents. And the Vanishing Dragon. I thought for someone said to be the weakest host in history might find this weapon to be useful." Michael smiled while Issei felt like a boulder fell on him on being called the weakest host in history.

"Okay… I think I get it. But can I even touch it?" Issei looked a bit hesitant knowing what holy object do to devils.

"Some adjustments were made to this sword prior to me coming here. Like I said, even if you are a devil, using that dragon gauntlet should grant you the ability to touch it without suffering any damage." Issei fearfully grabs the holy sword floating in mid hair. And he seems fine, the holy aura is there but no damage is dealt to his body.

"Ho? Interesting. Now you will have a small edge over dragon and devils alike." Damian commented inspecting the sword from a safe distance. Itachi merely observed the situation closely, he had no reason to distrust Michael, but no reason to trust him either.

Itachi raises a brow as he observes Michael looking at him, eyeing him strangely. Almost like he was looking at a rare creature. Michael smiles in delight, pleased at what he saw. Making Itachi all the more confused. All this was happening, while Issei was trying to merge the sword with his Boosted Gear thanks to instructions from Ddraig.

Itachi was only brought out from his thinking, by a glowing light coming from Issei. Once the blinding light died down, Itachi widened his eyes bit seeing the Ascalon blade growing out from the front portion of the back of Issei's hand. The gauntlet had merged with the Holy Sword. "It seriously combined!" Issei gawked in awe, as he inspected his new Boosted Gear gauntlet upgrade.

"Before I leave, there is something I wish to discuss with you, Itachi Sitri." Michael guides Itachi along with Esdeath away from Damian and Issei. Michael even creates a barrier around them so no one else will hear them.

"What's going on?" Itachi looks to Esdeath.

His self-proclaimed protector giving a sigh of annoyance and looks at Michael. "Lady Serafall asked me to escort Angel boy here to talk to you. And make sure he doesn't try anything." To this Michael looks a bit hurt at the accusation. "Something really concerning apparently has been made aware to the Angels."

"And why am I needed to be here?" Itachi asked seeing as he wasn't as important as a Maou.

"Because it involves the daughter of Trigon. She is after all a member of your peerage." Michael replies, and Itachi is now invested in the conversation.

"This had better not involve something to exterminate her." Itachi glared harshly for a moment.

"No, nothing like that. It is just that I am worried for her. As you know, she tries to keep her father contained within Purgatory. But recently the negative energy from Purgatory has been leaking out more than normal. And I am worried if she can handle it." Michael looks genuinely concerned. Although Itachi guessed the concern itself was more so directed on the world rather than Raven.

"… This is indeed troubling. I will make sure to look after her and see to that she is fine." Itachi assured, although it didn't seem good enough for the Arch Angel.

"Although I don't doubt your word. I am uncertain you can handle such a task. Trigon is a powerful entity… Although it is said his power rivals Sirzechs, it might actually exceed it. That monster seems to be growing stronger every day. And I worry how that may affect Raven."

"I agree, my suggestion is that we put her in full lockdown. Lock her away giving her time to focus constantly on closing the rifts." Esdeath's suggestion was met with a rejecting glare from Itachi.

"You will do no such thing. I refuse to let you or anyone take away her freedom." Itachi's words seemed to make even Esdeath back down a bit, but just a bit.

"Even if I am a servant of Serafall, and your protector. I won't hesitate to fight you if needed. After all, sometimes children don't know what is for their own good." Esdeath declares shamelessly, yet Itachi doesn't flinch.

"Then me and the sins will stop you." Itachi boldly declared, causing Esdeath to smirk at his boldness.

"And what if she becomes a danger to us all. What then? Would you spare her and risk the world getting destroyed? Or take her down to save the world?" Esdeath asks, and Itachi's expression doesn't change.

"If there is no other way, and it comes down to it. I will personally deal with Raven… I would always save the lives of many instead of just one." Esdeath seemed pleased at this answer, although Itachi wasn't done. "However, I trust in my comrades and I believe in them. And I shall have faith that together we can rescue Raven from such a fate. There was a time, where I wouldn't try on such things that some would consider meaningless. Where I would do what needed to be done, regardless of how it looked. However, now, I have hope that such things will work. There is nothing in this world I wouldn't do, to protect those I hold dear to my heart." That is the lesson I learned from an old friend. Itachi thought back on a certain blond knucklehead of a ninja.

"… I admire that quality in you." Michael comments, smiling warmly upon looking at Itachi. "The desire to protect those precious to you. The selflessness in your heart. Completely un-devil like. It makes me believe peace is truly possible."

Itachi was a little awestruck over receiving such praise form the leader of the Angels. "Thank you." Itachi politely bowed.

"Well, I have done what I came here for. I look forward to our next meeting." Michael bids farewell and vanishes in a flash. Leaving behind a single golden feather from his wings.

The barrier around them dispels, and Esdeath sighs before walking away. "I have also done what I came here for. Later kid, I will be watching." Esdeath kindly smiled at Itachi and gave a friendly wave as she walked away. Yet her aura was still as intimidating as ever.

"She will never change…" Itachi sighed a bit, a smile cracking on his lips.

"Itachi? What was that all about?" Rias approached him along with Sona, Raven, Akeno and Kuroka. Followed shortly by Issei, Damian, Kiba and Saji.

"… Just some business. I will tell you later." Itachi's gaze is mainly focused on Raven, which doesn't go unnoticed. Raven could clearly tell what Michael discussed with Itachi involved her. She had a pretty good guess about what as well. "… I think we'll call an end for the training today. Same time tomorrow, Hyoudou Issei." Itachi walked away leaving everyone else baffled.

For the continuing days, Issei had trained under Damian to get better control of his Sacred Gear and achieve Balance Breaker. And on occasion, Itachi would overtake the training himself. Issei had to say, Itachi's training was harsh. It was really harsh dammit! It made the hell week he experienced during training camp with Rias and the others, seem like a vacation in comparison.

Then, it finally happened. After having built up his body, and listened to advice from Ddraig and Damian. Issei had finally managed to unlock the next step. He could enter his Balance Breaker, although… for only ten lousy seconds. Then he would instantly revert back to his weak old self. Although, it was progress at least.

"You've made great progress Kouhai!" Damian praised, slapping his hand onto Issei's back making Issei yelp in pain as his body was still sore.

"Owch! It is all thanks to you, senpai!" Issei returned Damian's smile with a grin.

"You may have made progress. But let's see how you would stack up to the Vanishing Dragon." Itachi's declaration made Issei look confused. Itachi wasn't going to invite Vali in here to fight him, was he?

"I want you to come at me, with everything you got. And I will respond with the amount of power I believe the Vanishing Dragon possesses at his current state." Itachi replies as he stretches his arms a bit.

"How can you be sure on how powerful the Vanishing Dragon is?" Rias questioned, considering they only encountered him briefly.

"Well, from what I saw. He was clearly stronger than Kokabiel and Amon for that matter. He might even be able to defeat Bob." Itachi's body began to glow, Rias couldn't believe Itachi was using his touki.

"Are you sure, nya?" Kuroka interjected, sensing Itachi unleashing his senjutsu energy. "Don't you think that form is overkill?" Kuroka could sense Itachi was mixing in his demonic power. Synchronizing his senjutsu energy perfectly with his demonic power, to which water started emitting around his body like armor. The water cloaking around his touki aura.

"W-What is this?" Saji gawks as the sensation of power from Itachi was strong. Issei could even tell it made the pressure from Kokabiel feel less impactful in comparison.

"It's new to me as well…" Sona and Rias both looked surprised as well, clearly not having witnessed this form before.

"Kuroka, explain." Rias looked towards Itachi's queen whom clearly had the answer.

"Nya? After the battle with Trigon, Itachi-sama asked me to help him improve on his senjutsu skills. He trained with all seven of us to perfect this. What he is basically doing is combining senjutsu with his demonic power. Trying to synchronize it and focus it to increase his power. By the way, he has three other new forms beside this one." Kuroka smirked, feeling a bit special because she knew of this instead of Rias.

"Then why didn't he use them against Kokabiel?" Akeno questions, as with this power Itachi should have been able to take down the warmonger no problem.

"Because I can only use this for a limited period of time. Before it puts a heavy strain on my body. I can use this for 20 minutes or so. Although it would have been enough to take on Kokabiel, having to fight Amon on top of it later would have strained my body too much." Itachi replied as the water expanded around his forearms, making it look like he had shields of water. "It works well in the case of fighting a single opponent head on. But fighting an army is a different story."

"Cool, does this form have a name?" Rias asked, being the otaku she was, she loved the cool attacks in anime. So, her eyes sparkled with excitement awaiting to hear the name of this new form.

"Defense Mode." Itachi declared, as the water had taken a similar shape around his body like the Vanishing Dragon's armor just without the wings. "Ready when you are." Itachi looked at Issei.

"Okay, here goes nothing! Balance Breaker!" Issei's gauntlet glowed intensely, as his body was surrounded by a scale male red dragon armor. "And now…!" Issei threw his arm back generating a ball of energy. "Dragon Shot!" Issei fired of a red beam of pure energy at Itachi.

The young Sitri heir standing there calm and as still as the water. Then for a split second, the tension went through the roof as Itachi's power flared up. With a swift movement of his arm, the water shield reflected Issei's blast away negating it into nothing. And before Issei even had time to react, Itachi was over him with water expanding from his hand into a giant bubble.

Itachi smacked the water bubble onto Issei, creating a massive explosion that blasted the water around the room flooding it. Rias and Sona quickly put up a defensive barrier around themselves and the others. They floated in their barriers like plastic balls in the ocean. The water nearly reached the ceiling of the room.

The water was cleared away by special filters, sucking it all up. It was all over in under ten seconds. And Issei laid in a crater, his dragon armor completely broken. His eyes wide as saucers and blood dripping from his busted lips. And with his foot planted onto Issei's chest pinning him down, Itachi stood tall over him. "As it stands now, you could never hope to stand up to the Vanishing Dragon, let alone defeat him. But one day, I promise you will."

"… I will try my best." Issei cracked a weak smile, as he started to fade away into unconsciousness. Guess he had to grow some power before becoming Harem King, the road to becoming a high-class devil was long and hard.

"Good." Itachi smiled and the water around him vanished, along with his touki aura. He hoisted Issei's unconscious body over his shoulder, and carried him out to be healed by Asia.

Now the days of training were over for now, as class room visits were about to begin at Kuoh Academy. For normal students this was an embarrassing day, not only would their parents observe how they interacted in the class room. But also, the kids from the middle school division. So, everyone from the high school division needed to be on their best behavior for their kouhai, and manage to answer any question perfectly.

But for three certain young devils, this day was far more dreadful. Especially since members of their families were like children themselves. The respectable reputation they have spent so long to build, could come crumbling down as their classmates witness the behavior of their parents and siblings.

A spectacle of some kind was occurring at the school gates. Students and parents whispering amongst themselves. Fixated and fascinated by these beautiful creatures before them. The three young devils had gathered to greet their family, and Rias looked with a nervous bead of sweat running down her face.

Standing at the gates, were the fancy crimson haired gentlemen Sirzechs Lucifer and Zeoticus Gremory. Their handsome faces and beautiful crimson hair causing whispers amongst the single mothers, and the female students blushing at the sight. The fathers and the male students all in return were gawking at the sight, of the beautiful voluptuous Venelana Gremory and the cool looking silver haired maid Grayfia that accompanied these two men. As well as the cool looking beauty Serena Sitri, the mother of Serafall, Itachi and Sona although she was alone which only made the Sitri twins nervous. And finally, there was also another crimson haired individual, standing patiently and politely by his mother and grandmother's side. Was Rias' nephew Millicas Gremory. A cute young boy that resembled a younger version of his father Sirzechs.

Millicas upon spotting his aunt, instantly ran up to her with a cheerful innocent smile. "Rias onee-sama!" Millicas jumped into her arms, and Rias warmly accepted. Millicas being one of the few in Rias family she knew wouldn't embarrass her.

"Hello, Millicas. Glad you could make it." Rias gently stroked her nephew's head.

"It's been awhile." Sona gracefully greeted the youngest Gremory with a smile and a polite bow.

"Ah! Sona onee-sama! Itachi onii-sama!" Millicas returned the bow and greeted them politely, which seemed to please Grayfia that her son was using proper manners. Itachi greeted the youngest Gremory with a pat on the head.

"Glad to see you in high spirits as always, Millicas." Due to the close relationship with the Sitri and Gremory family, and Itachi's relationship with Rias, Millicas had naturally come to view Itachi as an older brother figure.

"Yo, Rias-chan! Papa has come all this way to see you!" Zeoticus eagerly awaited a hug or greetings from his beloved daughter. Yet to Rias, her father's overly dotting nature towards her made her nervously twitch her eyes in annoyance. Already hearing people whispering.

"Dear, please look respectable." Venelana to ease her daughter's mind, pulled her husband back by the ear.

"Owie! That hurts, Venelana-chan!"

"Now, now father. I understand your excitement. But think of the time and place." Sirzechs said, looking as respectable as a proper Maou. Or rather forced as from Itachi's view he already saw Grayfia harshly pinching Sirzechs' arm to make him behave. "Besides, once class starts, we'll have plenty of time to observe Rias in her class environment." Sirzechs said holding a camcorder, that was glowing red. He was already filming.

"Onii-sama… put that away." Rias tried to sound polite, twitching her eyes and releasing just a slight hint of annoyance from her tone.

"Ehehe…" Itachi gave a light nervous chuckle as Rias already seemed to be getting a headache from her father and brother. Itachi and Sona diverted their attention to their mother, whom looked at them with pride in her eyes. "Mother, wasn't father and nee-san going to accompany you?" Itachi asked, Sona looking a little hopeful that their father and sister had forgotten about today.

"Yes, well… Truth is I can't find Serafall anywhere. And as for your father… well…" Their mother nervously avoided eye contact, and looked up into the sky. Itachi's blank stare followed and Sona hesitantly as well.

A plane, a small plane was flying in the sky. Releasing some kind of smoke that spelled something in the sky. This causing various whispers amongst the parents and students at the front gates. Sona and Itachi looked pale and with dread as their mother whispered. "Sorry."

The smoke from the plane spelled. "To my beautiful children! Love, from the coolest dad in the universe!" The doors of the plane opened, and standing tall was Malphas Sitri, the father of Serafall, Itachi and Sona. Wearing a parachute bag on his back and a skydiving gear. He smirked as he jumped out. As he was getting closer, he opened his parachute, specially decorated with a giant photo spread across the chute of Itachi and Sona as two-year-old children playing together with alphabet boxes.

Itachi stared with a blank look on his face, beads of nervous sweat dripping down his face. While Sona was gaping, and visibly pale with horror. The parachute itself got stuck onto the academy gates, and Lord Sitri unbuckled himself from his chute and gracefully landed. Ripping off his skydiving gear, to which he now stood in a black suit with a dark purple undershirt. He brought forth a pair of black sunglasses, and stood in a cool pose. "Annnnnnndddddd, nailed it! The king of awesomeness has arrived!" Malphas boldly and shamelessly declared. "Sona! Itachi! Your awesome dad has arrived!"

Sona visibly trembled and gawked, as she felt stares being directed at her. "Damn you old friend! How dare you make an awesome entrance without me?!" Zeoticus felt like he had been heavily outdone in expressing his love for his Rias-chan. Malphas just cackled on with confidence.

"Zeoticus, my dear old comrade. When will you learn? You must expect the unexpected when it comes to me!" Malphas cackled with confidence, then he noticed his darling youngest child Sona steadily approaching him. "What do you think Sona-chan? Your old man sure showed everyone how to make a proper entrance!"

"Oh boy…" Itachi facepalmed, knowing what would come next.

Instead of being met with praise, he was slugged by his daughter in face. Knocking his sunglasses off his face. "WHY CAN'T YOU ACT LIKE A NORMAL PARENT?!" Sona grabbed her father by his collar and began shaking him back and forth.

"I was showing my love and affection for my darling little adorable daughter, and my dearest son! What is wrong with that?!" Malpahs looked dead serious, not angry and not even that injured. "I even had that chute customed made!" He pointed at the chute with the giant photo of Sona and Itachi as children. "I wanted to show, that no child could compare to the cuteness of my children!"

"Argh! I can't deal with this!" Sona ran away with tears of embarrassment dripping from her eyes. She looked like she just wanted to crawl into a hole and die as she ran away from her overbearing father.

"Ah! W-Wait! Sona-chan!" Malphas desperately chased his daughter, much to Sona's displeasure.

"Leave me alone, please!" Sona cried as she ran away to hide.

"… Mother." Itachi looked towards his mother whom sighed and nodded. "I take Sona, you deal with father."

"Yeah, I know the routine." Serena sighed as she followed after her idiotic goofball of a husband.

After tracking Sona down, and comforting her and trying to restore her lost sanity. Itachi and Sona were at the moment walking through the garden of the academy. "Try and look at it this way, father couldn't possibly embarrass you more now." Itachi tried his best to comfort his pouty, teary-eyed, younger twin sister.

"I can't show my face anymore… It's over… my life is over…" Sona muttered like a motionless doll.

"Your life isn't over. Hardly anyone saw it." If you don't count the ten or twenty other people that were there to see it. "Well, look at it this way. It can't possibly get any worse." Itachi tried to assure.

But as if on que, they saw several male students looking grudgingly as they walked away from the gymnasium, holding photo cameras. "Aww, man… the Student Council guy ruined our photoshoot session with Mil-tan…"

"Yeah, it's not every day a beautiful magical girl like that shows up. Dude ruined everything."

Itachi and Sona both looked pale. "It can't be…" They both uttered with even more dread, fearing the worst.

Sona and Itachi swiftly went towards the source where the students were walking away from to investigate. As they approached the gymnasium, Sona recognized the voice of her pawn Saji coming from inside. And thus, flung the doors open. Saji looked spooked as he was speaking with Sirzechs, Issei, Rias and Asia whom also seemed to have just arrived. "What's this? Saji, I always tell you to settle things concisely-" Sona halted as she spotted someone else.

"Of course." Itachi sighed.

"So-tan~, It-tan~ I found you!" It was Serafall, wearing her pink magical girl getup. She was wearing that for class visit? Itachi and Sona visibly paled. And then Serafall clung onto both of them. "Ahh, how I missed the scent of you two~"

"Ah, Serafall, your mother has been looking for you." Sirzechs casually greeted the magical girl and colleague.

"Eh? Sirzechs-sama knows her?" Issei, Asia and Saji all looked surprised at learning of this.

"It's Levithan-sama." Rias introduced Serafall to the trio, and they all gasped in shock. "That person is one of the four current Maous, and also Sona and Itachi's onee-sama."

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhh?!" Issei and Saji erupted in shock at this revelation. To think one of the four great Maous cosplayed as a magical girl. Clearly, they had imagined some cool, strong beauty to be Levithan. Instead it was this cutesy magical girl. Although Serafall was a super beauty, she was just not what they expected.

"Serafall-sama, good to see you." Rias politely greeted one of the four leaders of her race.

"Ara, Rias-chan~. Long time~ Have you been doing well?" With Serafall's cute tone and way of addressing her, Rias looked a bit troubled.

"Y-Yes. Thank you."

"Hey! Get this Rias-chan! So-tan and It-tan have been really mean. They kept telling me not to come today! Geez! It was such a shock, onee-chan was going to attack Heaven!" To this statement Issei, Asia and Saji looked shocked that she would attack Heaven for such a reason. Wondering if she was joking or not.

"And as I recall, when you cried and threatened to do that, we gave up an allowed you to come here today." Itachi calmly said, yet his face looked rather troubled by Serafall's presence. "Although, I believe we told you to act normal and formal."

"Mmm! I know! So, I dressed up like I normally do! And acted like myself." Serafall cheerfully nodded, awaiting praise for having done as requested.

"… I suppose it is my fault for not being more specific." Itachi sighed in defeat, while Serafall clung onto him.

From Issei and Saji's viewpoint, the height difference and level of maturity made Itachi look like the older sibling here. "Issei, greet her." Rias' words caused Issei to instantly lower his head and greet Serafall.

"N-Nice to meet you, I am Hyoudou Issei. I am Rias Gremory-sama's servant, pawn! I'll be under your care!"

"Nice to meet you~! I am the Maou Serafall Levithan. Call me Levi-tan." Serafall winked cutely.

"Please don't call her that." Itachi interjected, earning a pout and a light pinch from Serafall.

"Mmm! It-tan you killjoy!" Itachi looked stoic as he held Serafall's pinching hands away at a safe distance. Serafall then gave up, and gave a cute huff. "Sirzechs-chan, is this boy the rumored Dragon-kun?" Serafall pointed at Issei, whom was a little taken aback that she addressed Sirzechs with 'chan.

"Yes, he's the person in which the Welsh Dragon resides, Hyoudou Issei-kun." Sirzechs casually introduces Issei to Serafall whom looks somewhat semi amazed.

While all this was taking place, Sona's face was beet red. From looking at her older sister, her speech and conduct. It embarrassed her to no end. Noticing this Serafall looked with a bit of worry. "So-tan, what's wrong? Your face is completely red, you know? Since it's the long-awaited reunion with your onee-sama, me, I think it would be better if you looked happier. 'Onee-sama!' 'So-tan!', calling like that and embrace each other in a yuri way, that sort of development is fine with me as well! Then Onee-chan and So-tan can embrace It-tan in such way!" Serafall was saying such obscene things as always.

With the stunt their father pulled earlier today, and with Serafall on top of it. Sona was reaching her breaking point. "… O-Onee-sama. This is my school and I am entrusted with the job of the student council president here… no matter how close relatives we are, onee-sama's behavior is, too much… I can't approve of that sort of outfit." Sona was visibly trembling, her left eye twitching.

"No way, Sona-chan! If I am told that by Sona-chan, your onee-chan will be sad! So-tan doesn't know that her onee-chan is admired as the Magical girl! Since with this glittering stick, I erase angels and fallen angels! It-tan, tell her!"

"Please put that stick down… We all know you would destroy this country many times over if you "glitter" even a little bit." Itachi tried to take as much of Serafall's attention away from Sona to ease on Sona's sanity. By the looks from Issei and Saji, they had reached the conclusion that Serafall Levithan-sama is scary!

"Uuh, I can't bear it!" Sona's calm composure was broken, her eyes wet as she ran away from here.

"Wait! So-tan! Where are you going leaving your onee-chan behind!" Before Serafall could chase after her, Itachi quickly acted and held Serafall back in a hug.

"N-Nee-san, why don't we go somewhere. Sona is rather busy." Itachi had a forced smile on his face, willing to shoulder the troublesome Serafall to spare Sona's sanity.

"Kya~! It-tan, ecchi! We'll have time for that later, So-tan looked sad we need to follow her!" With her intense strength, she managed to drag Itachi with her chasing Sona. "So-tan! Wait for us! Don't abandon your onee-chan!"

"Don't add 'tan to my name! I have asked you that many times!" Sona's cries were heard in the distance.

"Yeah. The Sitri household is peaceful. Don't you think so, Ria-tan." And with that, it was Rias turn to be embarrassed by her brother.

"Onii-sama, don't add a 'tan' to my pet name, and never call me that please…" Rias sighed.

"No way… Ria-tan. Even though in the past you followed me every-time while saying 'Onii-sama, Onii-sama'…. It's the rebellious age, huh. Ugh! How I've dreaded for this!" Sirzechs looked near tears, while Rias was trembling and blushing with embarrassment. Whilst Issei and Asia gave a nervous chuckle at seeing this side of their master.

Then coming charging right back, having chased Sona around, they came running back. With Sona still trying to escape, and Serafall shortly following behind while dragging Itachi with her. "Please don't follow me!" Sona cried.

"No So-tan! No It-tan! No life!" Serafall now also cried as she continued to chase her beloved sister. As they circled again, Rias managed to snatch Itachi away from Serafall.

"Here, onii-sama, Itachi had something he wanted to discuss!" Rias this time used Itachi as a scapegoat to avoid her brother. Rias flashed Itachi an apologetic smile and snuck away.

'Seriously…' Itachi thought, although talking with Sirzechs wasn't troublesome for him at least. Besides, he did have something he wanted to discuss. "Sirzechs-sama, I actually wanted to ask if you had gotten an update from Azazel regarding Kokabiel's escape?"

The mentioning of the warmonger, brought a sour look on Sirzechs face for a split second. "Ah yes, no nothing as of yet. It is the oddest thing. It seems like the guards had burnt up from the inside. No sign of holy energy to indicate it was a Fallen Angel. We're suspecting the Old Maou faction might have had a hand in it." Sirzechs looked uncertain, and a bit troubled. He clearly knew more than he was telling.

"I see… I do hope we can manage to capture Kokabiel soon. Otherwise he might compromise the Peace Conference."

"… You wish I hadn't gotten Azazel involved, right?" Sirzechs looks a bit regretful.

"It would have been easier, had you two let me kill him." Itachi reveals his displeasure in the decision Sirzechs and Azazel had made.

"Things are not as easy as they seem. You know that. We cannot risk doing anything rash that would compromise the Peace Conference." Sirzechs gave his reasoning, and Itachi knew where he was coming from. He still wasn't happy about it. Sirzechs put a comforting hand on Itachi's shoulder, and looked into his eyes. "Don't worry, just leave everything to me and Serafall. We adults will work things out, you youngsters just worry about your own lives and school."

"Yes, Sirzechs-sama." Itachi nodded in understanding. Yet in his mind, he told himself he was anything but a child. Itachi took his mind off the warmonger, and focused on his sisters.

Meanwhile, within the Underworld, in a cave at the side of a deep ravine. The sound of banging echoed through this vast mountain range. In the cave, the escaped prisoner and wanted Kokabiel was banging his head against the wall. "Get! Out! Of! My! Head!" Kokabiel roared in pain, the more he struggled, the more his mind was burning.

"Harming yourself, won't get rid of me… Although it does amuse me." Trigon chuckled a bit within Kokabiel's mind.

"T-Tell me then? What is your plan? To use me to interrupt the peace conference?" In responds to his question, Kokabiel was met with what sounded like a scoff.

"Whether they form peace with each other doesn't matter to me. Regardless if they are united or not, I shall destroy them all one day."

"S-So what then? You plan on using my body to destroy the world?"

"No, that would be impossible with such a weak body. My daughter, Raven… And the devil boy, Itachi Sitri are the key to my plan. We need to find a way to separate them from the herd that is the three factions. And I have a plan on how to do it. We have much to do, and plenty of time to do it."

"Ugh…!" Kokabiel grunted in pain. "Very well… Mind telling me in greater detail?"

Meanwhile, back at Kuoh Academy during the chaotic events that is Parents' Day. Itachi is sitting in his classroom, trying to calm the banging headache caused by his dotting older sister Serafall by learning chemistry. "Just pay attention to the lessons… and forget she's here…" Itachi told himself, although then he noticed, Serafall wasn't at the back of the classroom along with his mother. Was she with father in Sona's class?

Itachi felt relieved that it was only his mother, whom warmly and proudly watched him in class with a mere video camera. He just hoped Sona had the mental capacity to deal with Serafall. 'Well better her than me…' A thought he would soon regret, as the doors of the classroom flung open.

Rushing in through the doors, was an entire camera crew. Serafall standing in a director's chair as she was being carried in by Behemoth. "Places people!" Serafall announced through a megaphone. "Get some lights on him! I want a camera on every angle on my adorable It-tan while studying!" Itachi sat in the spotlight, literally.

"Make-up!" Serafall instructed, and someone came up and powdered Itachi's face a bit.

The entire room was left speechless, Itachi looked pale and sweated bullets as he felt every single pair of eyes in the room locked at him. 'Give me strength…' Itachi thought as he sunk further into his chair from embarrassment. Feeling the surprised and slight judging looks from his classmates.

"U-Umm, miss…" The teacher nervously called out to Serafall trying to calm her down. "I'm going to need you to go in the back of the classroom, and get all this equipment out of here."

"But I need to capture every possible angle of my beloved brother." Serafall looked like a pleading puppy, so distracted by the teacher, she didn't notice their mother approaching her from behind. Serafall didn't notice, until it was too late. The cold hand of her mother touching her shoulder, making Serafall flinch.

"Serafall~" Their mother called out sweetly, yet Serafall wasn't fooled and slowly turned around to face her mother. She was smiling, but her aura said something else.

"M-Mommy…" Serafall was shaking in her boots. "I-It-tan… help me…"

'… You know what, I'm actually going to help her out.' Itachi gets up from his chair, and in a surprising act lifts Serafall up and throws her over his shoulder. Although he noticed the problem with her magical girl outfit, her skirt was too short so now people would have full view of her panties. As such, Itachi held his hand over her skirt to keep it down so no one would see her panties.

"Kya~" Serafall wiggles in his hold and squeals a bit. "It-tan is so bold~" Itachi thus realized he had made things worse for himself, and hung his head down.

"Have mercy…" Itachi uttered.

After class, out on the garden of campus. Serafall, Sirzechs, Lord Sitri and Lord Gremory all sat on their knees their heads hung down as they were being scolded by Grayfia, Serena Sitri and Venelana Gremory. The three women, glaring down at these trouble makers and their sheer auras causing the space to tremble.

"So… want to share experiences?" Itachi looked to Sona and Rias whom both were blushing in embarrassment over their individual family's behavior.

"I would rather not talk about it…" Sona looked away in embarrassment, shuddering at thinking of how her father acted. The line my precious little princess ringing through her mind.

"No comment…" Rias twitched her eyes in annoyance. Looking tired as she held onto the shoulders of her happy innocent little nephew Millicas. While the sound of her brother and father both shouting in the middle of class trying to get her to look into the camera echoed in her mind. Give us a wave Rias-chan! How'd you like that?! My little princess answered that perfectly!

"Huh, I got filmed by a whole camera crew in the middle of class. And when I tried to carry nee-san out, while holding her over my shoulder. I had to hold her skirt down to make sure no one saw her panties… And thus, everyone thinks I'm a siscon who touched his sister's butt." Itachi's blunt answer was met with a lot of blank stares from everyone.

"…"

"…"

"You win." Sona and Rias declared simultaneously.

With the later arrival of Kuroka, Akeno, Raven, Issei, Saji, Kiba, Koneko, Asia and Xenovia. The attention of their parents wasn't as much focused on Itachi, Sona and Rias much to their delight.

Feeling for something sweet as a reward for his patience today, Itachi looked at a nearby crepe stand. "I'm going to go and buy myself a crepe, anyone else want any?" To which both his sisters instantly raised their hands.

"I do~!" Serafall smiled with glee, as she held onto Sona almost like she was glued to her. "Get me a strawberry one."

"G-Get me one as well… Strawberry flavored." Sona uttered, her voice a little low from being embarrassed by Serafall.

Itachi made his way to the stand. Although, watching him from the sides, was a little girl whom vanished the moment he walked right past her like a ghost. Itachi flinched a bit, he could have sworn he saw someone from the corner of his eye. Yet he didn't sense anything. He shrugged it off, and ordered three crepes. And without Itachi noticing, the girl appeared once again in the crowd of students walking around campus. Although none of them paid her any mind like she wasn't there. Itachi didn't notice or sensed anything, and accepted the three crepes from the clerk at the stand.

Itachi held the three crepes and was about to make his way back to his family. Although, an unexplainable feeling suddenly overcame him. He felt like he was being watched, but also that he was under a lot of pressure, it got harder for him to breath. He hadn't felt anything like this before, looking around wondering if some big shot God or even Dragon was near. His eyes scanned his surroundings, yet all he saw was the crepe stand, students showing their families around campus. And a little girl, starring at him. Itachi's gaze landed onto the girl, looking surprised at first.

The girl had long dark black hair, and silver-grey white eyes. What surprised him about her, wasn't her appearance or outfit, even if her black gothlolita outfit should have been the surprising part. No, what surprised him was that she had appeared out of nowhere. A mere second ago, she wasn't there and now she was. Itachi was honestly a little spooked at first, because he had not detected her presence.

'Who… is she?' Itachi looked cautious, there weren't many that could go undetected from his radar. He is brought out of his train of thought, as he suddenly sees the girl quietly eyeing the crepes in his hands hungrily. Itachi blinks a few times, and looks to the crepes and then back at the girl. "Uh, do you want one?" Itachi holds out his own crepe, unable to help himself from seeing the hungry look in her eye.

The girl looks to him, and nods silently. Taking the crepe out from his hand and happily taking a bite, with some of the crepes cream spilling onto the corner of her tiny lips. Whether it was some older brotherly instinct, Itachi suddenly found himself bringing out a handkerchief and cleaning the cream off from her lips and cheek. He was left awestruck at his own action, not sure why he felt compelled to do that. Maybe because he used to do it to Sona all the time when they were kids. Curiously the girl looks at him, and happily continues eating her crepe.

Itachi was still cautious of the girl, casually trying to see if he could sense anything from her. And to his surprise he felt, nothing. Absolutely nothing, not even a flicker of energy. Even the weakest of humans had a flicker, yet Itachi couldn't feel anything from her. When he tried to sense her, there was nothing, darkness. It was like an endless black void of absolute nothingness. 'One thing is for sure… this girl isn't normal.' Was all Itachi could think as he curiously looked at her.

The girl eagerly finished her crepe, and licked some cream off from her hands. She hadn't taken her eyes off from Itachi whilst eating her crepe. Even now, she still looked at him with her head tilted slightly to the side.

In a casual voice, acting like nothing was out of the ordinary Itachi asked her. "Excuse me, miss… but did you get lost? Are you here with someone? Or looking for someone?"

His question was met with a few moments of silence. Then slowly, the girl raises her dominant arm and points her finger out on Itachi. "I'm looking for you." The girl replies, her voice sounding as smooth as silk, and no emotion behind it at all. Then her lips, creep up into a smirk. That along with her tired looking eyes made her look all the more menacing. "Clan killer." At this Itachi jumps in fright looking even more wary than ever.

"W-Who are you?" Itachi frowns his gaze into a glare. Although right before his eyes, she vanishes. Itachi's eyes widen in shock, his sharingan already active and scanning for the girl yet he finds nothing. Then he suddenly feels a light tap on his back, spooked he jumps away and turns around his gaze landing onto the girl. She giggled like a child playing around with her toy. She was fast, his sharingan couldn't even keep up with her. Even his years of experience and enhanced senses couldn't detect her. What was she?

Something else then caught Itachi's gaze, a butterfly stuck in midair. Its wings flapping so slowly that it looked like it didn't move at all. Looking around him he noticed time had slowed down, everyone was stuck in place, only this girl and Itachi moved around normally. Itachi was even shocked to find that both Serafall and Sirzechs were affected as well by this anomaly.

Seeing even a Super Devil like Sirzechs being affected, made Itachi sweat as he realized. The nothingness he felt from this girl, the endless void of nothingness, that was her power. He had never felt anything like this, even the Kyuubi and the other tailed beasts' chakra paled in comparison to this little girl. "Infinity." The girl replied to Itachi's question earlier. Itachi felt cold beads of sweat running down his back upon hearing her answer. He had heard stories, stories of the two mightiest beings in existence.

One was a dragon, said to be so massive it was considered a dragon among dragons, Great Red. The other, was known as the Dragon God of Infinity, Ophis. This little girl, was Ophis?

Ophis approached him, looking at him from top to toe. "Curious… truly curious." She utters, smirking once more like she was pleased with what she saw. "Do not tell Sirzechs, or anyone I was here." Ophis pointed towards Sona, frozen in time talking with Serafall. A tiny glint of dark purple energy generating from the tip of her finger. The energy from her dyed the blue sky in the human world, into a similar shade as the sky in the Underworld.

Itachi could feel the intensity from that mere glint alone, the wind strongly gathered towards it. That mere glint would not just destroy Sona, but the entire town in the blink of an eye. Itachi tried to force himself into action, but no matter how he looked at it. No matter which angle he would try to approach or attack from, Itachi knew he would be killed. Ophis, made a threat like Trigon or even Madara seem like nothing in comparison.

Sinking his shoulders in defeat, Ophis lowers her hand and the energy glint fades away. Itachi glares at the Dragon God, one question burning in his mind. "Why are you here for me?" Itachi demands. Despite his serious tone, Ophis merely smiles. She levitates up from the ground, and to eye level with Itachi and pokes his nose while looking into his eyes.

Itachi focused on her deep eyes, even her eyes seemed like a void itself, he quickly found himself lost in them. "Thanks for the snack. Later, Itachi… Uchiha." Ophis vanishes in a flash before his eyes, leaving Itachi to stand awestruck. And time began moving normally around him upon the Dragon God making her exit.

Itachi found himself breathing heavily, as if a million tons of pressure had been lifted off his shoulders. The Dragon God of Infinity, knew of him. She knew the truth, she knew who he used to be, what he has done. How she knew, was a question that nagged at him. And he still doesn't know what she wanted from him, or still wants.

Peeking over his shoulder, he looks towards his family and friends. No doubt Ophis was still watching somewhere, he couldn't afford to mention her to Sirzechs or anyone for that matter. Itachi hold the two crepes for Sona and Serafall and walks back like nothing had happened.

Itachi cloaked his face with a smile, and approached his sisters. "Here you go, two strawberry crepes." Itachi handed the crepes to Sona and Serafall, although both his sisters looked curiously at him as if they sensed something was off.

"It-tan…" Serafall uttered, and suddenly all eyes were on him.

"Honey, you look pale as a ghost." His mother gasped and cupped her hands around his face to get a closer look. Guess even with his experience, he couldn't hide his distraught feelings of meeting a being of infinite power.

"You feeling alright, son?" Even his father looked concerned.

"Nothing's wrong… I'm fine." Itachi casually brushed it off, but Sona stood in protest and stepped up towards him.

"You are lying." Sona bluntly stated. "Something's wrong… I have never seen you this distraught before."

"No… I'm fine Sasuke-" Itachi halted himself, his encounter with Ophis and having been called out on his previous life had brought up some old memories. "Sona…, I'm fine… Just tired is all." Itachi rubbed the bridge of his nose, he couldn't believe he had slipped up like that.

"…" Sona looked confused, she and everyone heard what Itachi almost called her. What was going on? Was a question many of them were thinking. And Sona thought, who was Sasuke?

"Itachi, are you sure you're okay?" Rias placed her hand over his forehead to check if he had a fever. She gently looked into his eyes, looking into her blue eyes seemed to calm his nerves a bit.

"Sorry… I'm just tired. I think I need to lay down a bit." Itachi rubbed his temple a bit.

"Do you need me to take you to the nurses office?" Rias offered to help, Sona quickly interjected however.

"He needs care and rest, not for you to take advantage of the situation." Sona harshly glared at Rias, whom looked a bit insulted.

"I would never-" Rias was about to protest.

"So, you weren't thinking of dressing in a nurse's uniform and use your erotic body to seduce him?" Sona bluntly asked, narrowing her gaze at Rias whom blushed a bit.

"I… I wouldn't…" Rias nervously twiddled her thumbs, she might not have done it, but the thought had clearly crossed her mind.

"I would have!" Serafall cheerfully declared.

"… And if memory serves correct you have in the past." Itachi pointed out, as Serafall would always dress up like a nurse whenever he or Sona got sick as children. To this Serafall giggled and playfully winked while sticking her tongue out.

"Well forget it, I will help onii-sama to the nurses office. Onee-sama, I will meet up with you, father and mother later. Try and not cause too much of a ruckus while I am gone." Sona said, her concern directed at Serafall and her father.

"Worry not dear, I will make sure they behave." Her mother calmly assured, and that alone sent a shiver down the spines of her husband and her oldest child.

"Goodness, today would have been a nightmare without you and mother around." Sona sighed as she supported Itachi up whilst they walked towards the nurse's office.

"Mother certainly has her ways of dealing with them." Itachi gave a light chuckle in agreement.

An awkward silence followed as the twins walked in silence. "…" Sona unable to help herself, softened her gaze upon her brother looking concerned for his wellbeing. And now that they were alone, she had the chance to ask. "… Who's Sasuke?" Itachi dreaded this question, although considering what happened earlier, he knew it was inevitable.

"… No one. Yet…" Itachi had no real answer to give her, he couldn't tell her the truth because she wouldn't believe it. But there was one thing that was true, that he could tell her.

"Yet?" Sona asked with a raised brow.

"Promise not to laugh?" Itachi looked at Sona, his expression as stoic and serious as always. Although hearing Itachi saying something like that caught Sona off guard.

"I promise." Sona hesitantly agreed.

"… I've umm, been thinking a lot lately. About the future… And well, after I read a book where the name Sasuke came up. I found myself thinking it was a nice name… And if I ever had a son… I would name him Sasuke." Itachi revealed, and Sona suddenly froze on the spot. Looking taken aback and stunned, she was gaping.

"Wh-When did you and Rias?!" Having jumped to conclusions Sona was beginning to freak out.

"No, no! I haven't done anything like that with Rias." Itachi assured her and tried to calm her down.

"Then who?! Kuroka?! Akeno?! Rachel?! Eto?! Please, tell me it's not Eto!" Sona began looking hysterical.

"No one!" Itachi practically had to scream to get her to calm down. He lowered his voice, not wanting to draw too much attention. "I haven't done anything like that, with anyone, yet."

"Yet…" Sona was stuck on that word, looking ready to murder. Making Itachi sweat nervously, just how overprotective was she?

"I had a talk with Issei… and Damian. About my relationships, mostly with Rias… And that got me thinking. If I ever could start a family one day, it would be great… And I started thinking about kids… and if I ever had a son, I would want to name him Sasuke… and stuff." Itachi blushed a bit, embarrassed to talk about such things with his little sister.

"…" Sona looked at him with wide eyes, looking amazed. "Onii-sama…" Sona uttered.

"Yeah?" Itachi raised his brow.

"… You're cute." Sona said, and after a few seconds she began giggling. "That is easily the cutest and most innocent thing I have ever heard you say…" Sona struggled to not burst out laughing, while Itachi stood there looking awkward as he scratched his cheek.

"Even so… Don't tell anyone, okay?" Itachi said although Sona, trying to muffle her laughter pointed behind him.

"I think it's too late for that." Sona muttered.

Itachi paled in fear, thinking already the worst. He slowly turned his head, seeing his blushing older sister holding a video camera, clearly having filmed the whole thing. "This is easily going into my top 10 It-tan moments collection." Serafall's eyes sparkled. And behind her was their mother, sniffing as she held back her tears.

"My little boy is growing up…" His mother sounded both happy and sad as she uttered that statement. "It seemed like it was yesterday I brought him and Sona home for the first time."

"I was starting to worry he would never think such thoughts." Whilst his father was crying manly tears of joy.

And behind them, the girls had huddled up into a group. "Sasuke Sitri… Sasuke Gremory… they both have a nice ring to it." Rias was smiling and blushing a bit, as she herself started writing down various baby names. "Ah, Serafall-sama, mind sending me a copy of that later?" Serafall gave her a thumbs up in responds as she kept filming.

"I think Sasuke Himejima has a nice ring to it as well~" Akeno hummed also writing down various baby names. "I wouldn't mind start the baby making right away~"

"S-Sasuke huh… For some reason it easily rolls of the tongue." Raven faintly blushed, clearly thinking certain thoughts.

And Kuroka looked like she was in a daze, daydreaming of her and Itachi starting a family. "So, our first kitten will be named Sasuke… now we only need to figure out the names of the other 99."

'Wait, the other 99?' Itachi started feeling a cold sweat running down his back.

"Wow, to think you could sound so innocent…" Issei, Saji, Kiba and all said simultaneously. Kiba was blushing a bit for some reason.

"You have our full support, Itachi-san!" Asia happily cheered, and Xenovia quietly nodded in agreement.

Itachi was left speechless, having never felt so embarrassed in his life. He quietly turned towards Lord Gremory and Sirzechs, hopefully their disapproving gazes could ease the embarrassment. Although both were smiling, brightly. "Sas-tan? Hmm, Sasuke-chan? Mm, both sound good to me."

"Hmm, sounds like a great name for my future grandson… Although I would very much like you waiting a few years before doing such things with my little princess." To this Lord Gremory was met with a swift elbow strike from his wife Venelana to his ribs.

"My, I very much look forward to having a second grandchild to spoil~" Venelana giggled cheerfully.

"Mm, it would be nice for Millicas to get a playmate." Grayfia smiled in agreement, while gently holding her hands onto her young son's shoulders.

And Millicas was beyond excited. "Itachi-nii! I promise to be a great big brother to Sasuke!" Millicas looked like he was expecting his cousin to arrive any day now.

"…" Itachi lowered his head in defeat, although on the bright side it got his mind off of Ophis. And more importantly, it got all their minds off about his little slip up.

Watching this scene unfold from the top of the academy entrance, was Ophis. Smiling while kicking her legs back and forth. "What are you doing here?" Flying down behind her, was the host of the White Heavenly Dragon Albion, Vali. Although this time, he wasn't in his Balance Breaker state. He was a young man around Issei's age, maybe a little older. He had silver white hair, and foreign like features. His eyes were blue and transparent. He wore a black leather jacket with a green V-neck shirt underneath, he also wore matching black leather pants.

"Seeing what a potential ally has to offer." Ophis revealed, and Vali noticed her gaze was fixated on Itachi Sitri.

"Itachi Sitri? What interest could he possibly spark in you?" Vali questioned with a raised brow.

"Albion didn't tell you?" Ophis snickered.

Vali looked to his dragon wings, as if he was expecting Albion to answer him. "I would have told you… if I could explain it myself. But frankly, I have no idea how it is possible." Albion answered, getting Vali all the more curious.

"A man hiding the power of five gods deep within him." Ophis snickered and Vali looked in disbelief. For a man, yet alone a devil to hold the power of five gods was unthinkable. "Izanagi… Izanami… Tsukuyomi… Susano'o… And Amaterasu." Ophis listed the power of the various gods she sensed within Itachi. "Curious, very curious." Ophis smiles twists into a malicious smirk. "That red bastard will be dead in no time. Once we've given Itachi a little push over the edge. Shame on you, Sirzechs… hiding such a gem away from me."

"… What makes you think he will help us?" Vali asked.

"He will… Because I know him, the real him." Ophis confidently declared, excitedly watching Itachi and the energy of those five gods within him.

"By the way, do you think Sirzechs is aware of this?" Vali wondered if the Maous in general were aware of these five hidden God like powers was in one of their own.

"No doubt." Ophis replied.

Flashback

Within Ajuka's laboratory, Ajuka and Sirzechs saw Serafall leaving with the four-year-old Itachi after his very first examination. "Sirzechs, there is something I think you should see." Ajuka went over the lab results with his best friend.

Sirzechs read over the results, his eyes widening in bafflement at the information he had received. "… Why didn't you tell this to Serafall?"

"Why do you think?" Ajuka sorted away his equipment. It's obvious it was because the kids were in the same room, and this wasn't information suited for their minds to understand. Mostly because Ajuka himself didn't even understand. "I will contact Serafall in private later, and show her the results."

"This is too much to take in… How does a devil child possess hidden powers of five gods?" Sirzechs rubbed his temple, feeling a headache coming on.

"I don't know… My best guess, a God planted those powers within him. For whatever reason, I can't even begin to guess. No matter what scenario I can think of, it doesn't make sense." Ajuka showed an expression he rarely showed to Sirzechs, stress. He was stressful over the fact that he had no idea what was going on.

A mere day later, Ajuka had informed Serafall of the situation. And naturally, she freaked out. Accusing the Gods for wanting to harm her precious It-tan. Serafall tried to interrogate the certain Gods involved, especially the Goddess Amaterasu. Yet neither Gods showed any knowledge of this situation. All Gods claimed it was impossible, and Ajuka's examination results were wrong. If a devil child possessed powers of a God, it would destroy the said child.

Serafall thus grew more worried, and took Itachi on a monthly examination to Ajuka's. Without revealing the source reasoning behind the examination to avoid worrying her younger brother and sister.

"Maybe we should ask Itachi-kun himself? I can't think of anything else." Sirzechs groaned, feeling a major headache over discussing this subject for years now.

"… I am starting to think Itachi isn't really a Sitri, but a weapon planted by the Gods to destroy us." Ajuka muttered, and thus the room temperature went bellow subzero.

"Don't you even dare joke about that!" Serafall pulled Ajuka up by his collar, glaring daggers of anger at the Beelzebub Maou.

"Relax, I wasn't being serious… After all his DNA doesn't lie. He is without a doubt your brother. It's just the only possible reason for him having this power that makes the most sense to me." Ajuka attempted to defend himself from Serafall's wrath, whom still glared at Ajuka in anger.

Flashback end

Ophis wasn't the only one observing the young Sitri heir. The two Arch Angels Michael and Gabriel watched over the young devil from the heavens as well. "Really? Are you certain, brother?" Gabriel looked amazed at what Michael had just claimed.

"I can't be a 100% sure. But I can't help but wonder… if father himself was behind Itachi's creation. He always worked in mysterious ways after all…" Michael looked with nostalgia at the memory of the God of the bible. Michael was also greatly interested in this young devil, with energies of five Gods hidden within him. "Making that child into a devil, must be a trial meant for him to overcome. All in order to one day bring peace with his power."

"My, so that child is a miracle child?!" Gabriel looked ecstatic, her cute innocent smile making her appear all the more divine. She warmly eyed the young Sitri from a distance.

And deep within the Underworld, in a mere cave. Another duo was in the middle of discussing the young Sitri heir. "What?! Power of five Gods?! Can't be… Impossible!" Kokabiel banged his head against the wall of the cave, his mind burning in pain.

"I didn't understand it myself at first. But after studying and looking into that Sitri boy, I discovered who brought him to life in this world. And honestly, it doesn't surprise me." Trigon's voice echoed inside of Kokabiel's head. The Lord of Purgatory having taken an interest to the young Sitri after their first encounter. Having sensed these energies sleeping within the young devil. "Whatever he has planned for the boy, is none of my concern. I intend to use the boy for my own gain first. That boy is the key, and Raven is the lock… Only by using both, can I be set free."

And meanwhile, the very same hooded figure who had brought Itachi back to life in the first place all those years ago. Was standing before a crystal ball observing the young Sitri, laughing as if everything was going according to plan.

That's the end for now!

Things are heating up, as more people have discovered the hidden power within Itachi. The four Maous are unsure of what to make of it, Ajuka even suspecting Itachi is an entity created by the gods to destroy the devils from within. Michael thinking Itachi is a miracle child created by the God of the bible to bring peace. And with only two other beings that seem to know exactly what is going on behind the scenes. Trigon, claiming to be aware of the source of Itachi's creation, and plans to use it to his own advantage. Ophis, also aware of this and plans to use Itachi's power in her aid to kill Great Red. Not to mention, the mysterious entity from the very first chapter of the story, that brought Itachi to life in the first place. I can assure, that entity is not an OC of mine and an actual DxD character in disguise. But who?

I have also given Itachi a new upgrade in his arsenal, four new forms that involve his touki aura synchronizing his demonic power and magic abilities. The first one we have seen involves water, and is called Defense Mode. A rather simple name, I know, but I don't see Itachi bothering creating extravagant names for his forms. He also has new techniques that he will display soon enough.

Oh, speaking of Ophis. If anyone is going to ask regarding what I said when Itachi described Ophis as a threat that made Madara pale in comparison. Let me just say, Itachi never met the real Madara only Tobi. Although personally, I do believe a being of infinity like Ophis would make most things pale in comparison.

And like I have said before, I plan for Itachi to awaken his Mangekyou Sharingan during the events of DxD Hero also known as season 4. As for why, I have my reasons. So please, stop asking. I have my plans for how this story is going to go and play out.

Also, sorry for the long wait for this update. I did plan on updating much sooner, but my jobs have kept me rather busy these past weeks. Plus, I have reached the final arc on one of my stories which is rather exciting for me, so I couldn't help but give that story some extra attention.

Also, the harem list is as follows so far. Rias, Akeno, Kuroka, Raven, Eto. I am considering adding Ravel Phenex and Koneko.

Anyway, leave a review!

-Later!

Responds to reviews:

ITSyndicate: You are welcome, sorry for the long wait.

Kosmish: Well, I do need both to be alive for the future of this story. So, it isn't for no reason. You want deaths? I can guarantee there will be some coming.

andresskorskiruiz: Thanks!

TheHiddenLettuce: Could be possible, you never know. Hope you stick around XD

Mr. Haziq: Well, Itachi can take some inspiration for his water demonic powers, can't he? And I believe I wrote Irina took the Excalibur cores back with her to deliver them to her superiors.

Wolf1741: So far, he will live. For now, at least. Who knows what will happen in the future? But may I ask, why you thought so?

SolSparda369: Damn straight.

merendinoemiliano: Thanks!

Emn93: Thanks, can't have Itachi hogging all the spotlight after all. Although he will have a great share of it. And yeah, I am definitely not going above single digit for the harem. So, I can guarantee it will be less than 10.

Flamingp0tat0: Well yes, but remember he was a pacifist first and foremost. He did things that were necessary, but I believe after his encounter with Naruto when he was reanimated, and his reunion with Sasuke changed something in Itachi. Itachi will still kill one if it meant saving many or those he cared about. But only if there was no other way. As Itachi stated to Michael and Esdeath here regarding the Raven situation. I can guarantee, he will not spare every single enemy he fights, he will in fact spare rather few. I can guarantee that soon enough we will see him kill without mercy.

Michael Corven: Thank you, I shall try my best to get out of my writers' block for A Fresh Start.

GAchaRage: You don't like OC? Well too bad for you, this is my story and I unfortunately decided whether to include some OC or not.

Dasgun: You seem amazed.

Uday Sra: Thanks.

Glitner: Having cool lines isn't what defines a protagonist. It is how they develop as a character and having the story told from their eyes. Harry and Bob are not the protagonists of this story, I give them cool moments like I do characters such as Rias in the previous chapter, because I can. Being "cool" isn't limited to just Itachi here. He has finished fights, the definition of finishing a fight doesn't always mean to kill your opponent. He has fought and defeated Sairaorg, Bob, Raiser, Amon. Other than that, he has had a small skirmish with Jack and Eto. And so far, only lost in his fight against Trigon. And using illusions, is how Itachi mostly prefers to fight, that is his character seeing as he is a pacifist. He has more fights coming up, and this time against higher level opponents such as Maous, Dragons and Gods. But if you don't want to keep reading, that is fine. The story has only just begun.

cure chester: You are welcome to do so if you like. I think it would be awesome. I don't have twitter but I have sent you a PM here.

ghostFLIN: Thanks!

ImperialCannon: Thanks! That is exactly what I was hoping to show. And you stay safe as well.

Dat boi: Thanks, and stay safe.

Rifful: I am aware, but that is where Sona comes in. Itachi could step down and marry into the Gremory family, while Sona takes over as heir for the Sitri.

razmire: You are correct. And sorry for the long wait.

DarkReaderSeiin: Thank you, I look forward myself to writing the events that will transpire.

NazgulBelserion: You mean you would love for there to eventually be a Naruto cast only here? Not quite sure what you mean.

Dxd: Rias, Akeno, Kuroka, Raven, Eto. This is what I have so far for the harem list. I am also considering adding Koneko and Ravel.

OwnerOfAPairOfBalls: Thanks, I will try to update faster in the near future. Unsure how things will be due to my jobs, but I will try my best.

Guest: Trigon will be a very important antagonist in the future. And his presence will greatly affect the characters in the near future.

blazes207: Thanks, and the harem list was added at the end of this A/N.

Zack Sager: I can say Rias character will change due to Itachi's influence. Seeing as he has been with her since early childhood, he was bound to have an effect on her. An example is that she has swallowed her pride and asked Sirzechs for help with her training.

JustDusty: I didn't forget, and I have new techniques planned that should classify as "flashy" so wait and see.

Xavier Hanenberg: Not my problem lol. Bye.

Seraphy64: I suppose, but I still think the fight turned out neat enough.

Guest: Sorry for the long wait.

Guest: Thanks, and sorry for the long wait.

Tasty Food: Lol, yeah, I'm alive XD just been busy.

Guest: At the moment he is Maou tier, he will activate it during the events of DxD Hero aka. Season 4.

Guest: Here you go! Sorry for the long wait.

redaveris: Well, you are allowed to have your own opinion. But the way I see it, Raven was a child during the destruction of Azarath. And children don't always make the wisest decisions. They are just children after all, and children are very curious about things like where they come from. And one can't really blame her for wanting to escape her manipulative evil father from a place that is literally hell. At least she shows remorse and wants to help rectify her actions. That is my opinion anyway, and you have yours.

Madara's Lost Soul: Well, I personally liked the pairing ever since I read a certain story. And Itachi might change Rias' character for the better, seeing as he has been with her since childhood, he is bound to have some influence over her.

Guest: I am going to continue, but I still have my own life and I have my jobs to think about.
