33. North and East Alliance!

Chapter 33: North and East Alliance!

The sun was shining bright, and it was time for lunch break at Kuoh academy. Itachi sat alongside Rias, Akeno, Sona and Tsubaki for lunch like usual. All of them having matching bento, as they had all been made by Rias and Akeno. The atmosphere around them felt different than usual, and it was even noticeable to their human classmates, who couldn't help but wonder if the group were in some kind of argument.

But that wasn't the case, it had to do with that amongst this friend group, three of them were in the semifinals for the Rating Game tournament. And thus, they were each other's competition, sparking a flare of mild hostility. Well, in Rias and Sona's case especially. As the two were sitting in silence staring at each other. While the third semifinalist, Itachi sat there looking like he didn't care. Akeno and Tsubaki sort of shared the hostility that their master's had for each other, being the respective Queens of their master's peerages, and being that they were going up against each other in the next round in a week.

Akeno, although smiling was trying to figure out how to deal with Tsubaki. 'There is no use in being in denial. Tsubaki Shinra, she's stronger than I am. What is more, her Sacred Gear makes her the worst possible opponent for a magic user like myself.' Akeno's gaze then drifted towards Itachi, and her mind suddenly went in a different direction than her serious train of thought for a potential battle against Tsubaki. 'If only I could get Itachi to give me some one-on-one lessons. Getting all hot and heavy, sweaty, as he roughly grabs onto my arms, and pins me to the floor, and then-'

Tsubaki's line of thought was simple. 'I will ensure a swift victory for lady Sona. Regardless of my opponent, I will strike them down with all my might.'

Sona's twirled her chopsticks around in her hand between her fingers. 'The best course of action in the game would be to eliminate Issei Hyoudou first. That way Rias' ace in the hold would be out for the rest of the game. Gasper Vladi is also a high-level threat. His Sacred Gear could play a big part in Rias gaining some sort of advantage. Then there is Asia Argento, her Sacred Gear makes her a valuable asset to Rias. Rias is most likely to keep her close, eliminating her will be difficult without confronting Rias directly. Kiba Yuuto, and Xenovia Quarta, both wield swords with holy elements. They can prove to be a dangerous duo, but I think I have the perfect countermeasure prepared. Koneko Tojo, her senjutsu sensing abilities will make hiding difficult for us. A direct approach is needed after all. Akeno Himejima, if she utilizes her Fallen Angel powers, she could prove to be dangerous. No matter, Tsubaki should be efficient in taking her down. Then there was just Rias herself.'

Rias sat in silence and just smiled confidently. 'Your mind must be boggling right now, right Sona? You are probably thinking of various chess moves you can adapt into real life to take me down. But in this game, I won't lose.'

Itachi silently sat as he chewed on a piece of salmon. 'This is nice. Quiet and relaxing, just the way I like it. And as always Rias and Akeno's cooking is absolutely delicious.'

'All who mocked lady Sona shall pay for their arrogance.' Tsubaki thought as her gaze hardened.

'Rias, your arrogance shall be your downfall.' Sona narrowed her gaze onto Rias.

'I'm about to show you the difference between a game of chess, and a battle against me.' Rias looked cheerful as she smiled and glared at Sona.

'Itachi will then thrust into me harder. My knees will ache a bit from the floorboards but I won't care. He will thrust violently into me, making my ass jiggle, fill me up. But I will take it like a good girl. And he will reward me by spanking my ass hard as I squeal and moan in pleasure~' Akeno continued to look on Itachi with a lusting gaze.

Itachi took a sip of his tea, as he sighed peacefully. 'Aside from the surrounding bloodlust and… other form of lust, this has been quite the peaceful lunch break.'

Meanwhile, on roof of the academy some of the second-year students were having lunch. Amongst these students were a few devils such as Issei, Xenovia and Asia, and even the newest addition to their class, Irina Shidou. Former exorcist now the Ace reincarnated angel of Michael. And with them were Issei's two buddies, Matsuda and Motohama. Asia's best friend Aika, and surprisingly enough Murayama and Katase from the kendo club.

The perverted trio stared perplexed at the Kendo club members, usually the trio would end up getting a beating by the two of them because they were caught peeping on them changing.

"So… uh, what are you two here for exactly?" Issei asks the question which seemed to annoy the two Kendo girls.

"What?! We can't have lunch with our friends?!" Murayama asked referring to Asia, Xenovia and Irina, as Katase hugged onto Asia who looked happy to hear them declare their friendship to her.

"Well… it's just usually you wouldn't be caught dead with us." Issei pointed out as he and his two pals were disliked by almost everyone.

"Well, we can't help it if Asia, Xenovia and Irina want to hang out with you." Katase huffed, her eyes warily glaring at Issei.

"Why wouldn't we want to hang out with Issei?" Xenovia asked tilting her head cluelessly to the side.

"Why? Because he is a perv! Do you know how many times we've caught him and these two knuckle heads peeping at us?!" Murayama pointed out, to which Katase shuddered.

"Just thinking about it makes me feel like I have lost my dignity as a woman. To have had these three creeps eye my naked body."

"Ehehe, well… we're sorry. But we just love oppai and we can't help it." Issei shamelessly declared.

"Creep!" The two kendo girls shrieked at him.

"Is that so? Issei, I have told you many times that all you need to do is ask, and I would-" Xenovia was about to declare something even more shameless, and Issei was quick to shut her up.

"Don't bring that stuff up now!" Issei flinched as he felt the death glares of jealousy from his two buddies, and the glares of bloodlust from Murayama and Katase.

"This fricking hentai!" Murayama was about to pull out her kendo sword as she loomed dangerously over Issei.

"Wah! Stop! Stop!" Issei held his hand out, to which Murayama flinched and backed away. The sudden flashing image of a rampaging Juggernaut Drive Issei coming to her mind. "Eh?" Issei widened his eyes seeing Murayama actually tremble, she looked terrified.

Issei lowered his arm and gaze, having been told of his rampage and having slight vague memories of it, he felt a bit guilty. "Sorry… about everything."

"Whatever…" Coldly Murayama sat back down next to Irina who looked puzzled at what was happening.

There was a long awkward silence that followed, that was eventually broken by Motohama. "H-Hey, how about we discuss our school trip? It is next month after all. We need to make up groups of three to four, right?"

"Obviously I will be in a group with Asia." Aika was quick to say, which seemed to make Asia very happy.

"Of course, that applies for me as well." Xenovia added.

"And me!" Irina quickly joined in, as that made their group full.

"H-Hey! What about us?!" Katase and Murayama looked left out.

"Well, you could always join us." Matsuda smirked but was quickly shut down with a deadly glare from the two of them. "Kidding! It was a joke…"

"Well, our group will most likely just be the three of us, right?" Issei pointed out as no other boy from their class would join their group. "And the two of you could ask Kuroka and Rachel, I'm sure they would be in a group together."

At the mentioning of the older nekomata and the witch girl both Murayama and Katase froze a bit. Kuroka was a bit more than intimidating to say the least, having the bad girl sort of vibe. And Rachel with her, style and cold demeanor came off as scary. "Yeah… we'll just have a hard time getting some sleep is all…" Katase whispered under her breath.

"Anyway, Xenovia are you staying after school for uh, club activities?" Irina asked trying to act calm and natural. "I was hoping maybe we could go out for some fun!" Irina was excited to introduce her once sheltered partner to the life of a regular high school girl.

"Hmm, sorry, but I've heard some rumors about Stray Devils in the area. Rias Buchou asked us to attend a meeting after school." Xenovia turned down the offer and looked rather surprised seeing the shocked pale look on Irina's face. "What's wrong Irina?"

"Xenovia! We're supposed to be hush, hush in regards to… your club activities." Irina said in a whisper like tone, awkwardly looking over at the humans in their little group.

"Huh? Why?" Xenovia raised a brow at Irina who looked baffled at how clueless her friend was.

"Stray devils? What are they exactly?" Aika asked with intrigue.

"Are they different type of devils from you guys?" Matsuda looked to Issei.

"Eh?" Irina blinked in confusion. "Hold on, you guys… know?"

"Hmm, of course they know. They have known since the incident with Diodora Astaroth when he kidnapped them." Xenovia pointed out looking confused as to how Irina was clueless of the situation.

"Yeah, a lot happened. So, Irina-chan are you a devil too?" Motohama asked with intrigue, imagining Irina as some sexy alluring devil trying to lure men with her erotic body.

Irina gasped however and looked a bit insulted. "No! I am a pure Angel in service of the great Michael-sama!" Irina passionately declared, and seeing as they were all alone on the roof, she brought out her white feathered angel wings.

"Whoa!" Murayama and Katase both gasped in awe at the sheer radiant beauty of the wings, the white feathers making Irina look divine.

"An Angel? A real-life angel!" Matsuda and Motohama went on their knees and cried, looking to be praying with gratitude. "Thank you for keeping us in the known of the supernatural world!"

"An Angel, huh? How come Irina is an Angel, but Asia isn't?" Aika asked, looking with an accusing glare at Issei. If anything, the innocent form of Asia was more suited for the role of an Angel, and Issei fully agreed.

"Well… it's sort of complicated. I don't quite understand it myself. But since Asia's power threatens some sort of balance, since she can even heal devils. And, uh she was excommunicated from the church so that more people would pray to God. Uh, basically that bastard Diodora is at fault." Issei rubbed the back of his head, he sucked at explaining this kind of complicated stuff.

"It's okay Kiryuu-san, I'm quite happy with my life as a devil." Asia smiled with genuine happiness, her infectious smile causing even Aika to buckle under and crack a smile.

"Yeah, alright." Aika chuckled as she hugged Asia.

"As for why I am an Angel, it is because I am completely devoted in my faith to Michael-sama!" Irina declared with great passion for her new master, and the current stand in for the God of the Bible.

"Yeah, okay…" Aika looked a bit awkward at how passionate Irina seemed about her status as an Angel. "So, Stray Devils, what are they exactly?"

"Stray Devils are reincarnated Devils who abandoned their master in pursuit of their own selfish wants and desires. They are vile and nasty creatures, and are basically like the common type of demons taught in various folklores. The typical stuff, how they lure away humans only to kill them and devour their flesh. Or bring about great calamities in their quest for power. It is common for High-Class devils such as mistress Rias to dispose of such creatures if they enter her territory." Xenovia gave a quick, gruesome and terrifying explanation to their human friends as to what Stray Devils are. "And a lot of times, Exorcists from the Church would dispose of them if these Stray Devils acted outside of a High-class Devil's territory."

"Wow, so you guys basically fight monsters on a daily basis?" Motohama asked with curiosity as his friends' lives sounded like the excited life of an anime character.

"Not at all, not a lot of Stray Devils dare come into this territory. As quite the powerful characters have claimed this town as their home." Xenovia replied as images of Itachi, Rias, Sona, Azazel came to her mind.

"Yeah, usually we just fulfil like requests and such from clients." Issei sighed like it was a chore, because to him it was. He never could seem to manage to strike a proper deal with his clients, although they always seemed to enjoy his company.

"Wait, just like that?! You guys grant humans wishes?!" Matsuda and Motohama looked a bit outraged that their friend hadn't gone out of his way to help his brothers in need.

"It's not like were genies or something. We just do some simple requests that's all… in exchange for payment." At hearing this Aika gained a smirk as she creepily loomed over Matsuda and Motohama.

"Like their souls?" She asked in an eerie tone that sent shivers down the two perverts' spines.

"No!" The two perverted morons hugged each other in fright.

"Relax, no devil wants your rotten souls." Issei told off his friends, which kind of ticked them off a bit.

"We don't actually take souls, usually just a worthful item or even money." Asia pointed out, not wanting to be viewed as some soul stealing demon by her friends.

"So, basically, if I asked Hyoudou for a foot rub he would be complied to give it to me?" Aika asked with a mischievous smirk as she playfully pointed her foot towards a slight annoyed Issei.

"Yeah, right four eyes, for you I will charge a billion yen!" Issei threw back causing Aika to snort and chuckle.

"So, you wouldn't be against it?" Aika continued to tease.

"Damned four eyed bitch!" Issei grinded his teeth at this continuously teasing.

"So, you guys don't go on exciting adventures?" Murayama asked Asia with a slight disappointed look.

"Well, we get to see a lot of cool places. Buchou's family home is quite beautiful." Asia reminded, as the humans present were actually brought there after the Diodora incident.

"Yeah, it was quite the castle. Filled with a lot of hot maids!" Matsuda and Motohama longed to go back, they wanted to see their French Devil maids so bad.

"That was just a small part of Buchou's family territory." Issei pointed out with a sly smirk. He couldn't wait to turn his friends green with envy.

"Really? Well, how big is Gremory-senpai's family territory?" Aika asked with curiosity, they all thought the castle was big enough.

"Oh, about the same size as Honshu." Issei said with a cheeky smile as he saw the surprised looks on his friends faces.

"Honshu?!" The humans all shouted in unison. They were all beyond surprised, they knew Rias was rich but they had no idea.

"Yeah, and as a member of her peerage I get to claim some land for myself." Issei added further salt to injury.

"You bastard!" Matsuda and Motohama jumped him. "Help a brother out by giving him at least a devil maid!"

"Personally, I think the most exciting thing right now is the Rating Game tournament." Xenovia said, ignoring the ruckus going on in the background.

"Rating Game tournament?" Murayama questioned. She was used to participating in Kendo tournaments so she was a bit interested as she had quite the competitive spirit.

"Yeah, come to think of it. The reason you all fought that Diodora fellow, had something to do with this "Rating Game" was it? What exactly is a Rating Game?" Aika asked as she was curious what kind of danger Asia was in.

"The Rating Game tournament is a competition amongst the young High-Class Devils. A Rating Game is sort of like a chess battle, where the servants of the High-Class devil acts like the chess pieces. That is why we are ranked by our pieces like Pawn, Knight, Rook, Bishop etc." Xenovia went on to explain the basic rules of a Rating Game first to their human friends. Like how each game has a different set of rules, and objectives. And with how the Rating Game tournament was set up by the higher ups and the Maou as a way to test how far the new generation of devils have grown, and how well they work together with their individual peerage members.

"Wow, sounds like some sort of tournaments you would usually see in anime." Motohama flicked his glasses up a bit, he was really envious of Issei as it sounded like he lived the dream life of an anime protagonist.

"Yeah, we're actually in the semifinals. Rias Buchou, Sona Kaichou and Itachi-senpai are all in the semifinals actually. And this other dude named Sairaorg Bael, he is apparently Buchou's cousin."

"Wait, Sona? I thought Kaichou's name was Souna Shitori…?" Katase looked confused, and now so did the other humans.

"That is just Kaichou's alias. Her real name is Sona Sitri." Asia pointed out.

"Yeah, I don't know why Kaichou and Itachi-senpai bothered changing their last names… Buchou certainly didn't bother." Issei curiously scratched his chin, after all most humans didn't even know devils existed so why bother with an alias?

"Probably to draw away attention. Speaking as a former Exorcist, I can only assume Sona Kaichou and Itachi-senpai didn't want any attention. Although with Rias Buchou it is a different story. Her crimson red hair is a dead giveaway of her lineage to the Gremory family. So, she probably didn't bother because it wouldn't help much." Xenovia shared her point of view on this matter, as a former devil hunting exorcist, her statement certainly held some credibility.

"Seeing as we were… caught up in one of the Rating Game matches. Is that how it usually goes or?" Aika was still worried for Asia, seeing as her memory of the Diodora incident involved Diodora and all his servants coming at them with the intent to kill.

"No, like Xenovia said every Rating Game has a different set of rules. The one with Diodora I think was supposed to be the King of the Hill sort of situation. Sona Kaichou in her match it was more like a straight up battle of chess, who ever took out the King of the opposing team won… Well, if the King loses anyway, it is game over regardless. And that Sairaorg Bael's guy match was just him straight up beating on this punk devil guy and his entire peerage singlehandedly. It was supposed to be a turn-based thing if I remember correctly. Oh, and Itachi-senpai recently finished his own Rating Game which was capture the flag, like in those first-person shooter games."

At Issei's simple explanation, Matsuda and Motohama nodded their heads paying attention with great interest. Aika however seemed more interested in getting more information. "And who is the red-haired princess facing off against next? This Sairaorg fella? Itachi-senpai?"

"Nah, we're fighting Sona Kaichou and her peerage, the Student Council next week. Itachi-senpai is fighting that Sairaorg guy around the time after we return from our class field trip to Kyoto." Issei replied.

Matsuda, Motohama, Murayama and Katase all froze as they imagined the looming figures of Rias and Sona staring each other down. Rias and her crimson red aura clashing with Sona's watery aqua blue aura. "Are you guys nervous? I mean, how strong is Sona Kaichou and the Student Council?"

"Hmm, I don't know… I have faith in Buchou and our strength to prevail." Issei declared.

"Now that you mention it, I am not quite sure either." Asia looked to be in deep thought as well. The only time they had seen the collective power of Sona and her peerage were in their Rating Game against Raiser Phenex.

"I would say their power rivals ours. At least from what I have seen so far." Xenovia commented, her mind especially thinking back to Sona, Tsubaki and Saji during their battle against the Phenex peerage. "However, Itachi-senpai and that Sairaorg Bael seem to be in a league of their own. If we do win against Sona Kaichou, we would have to face one of them in the finals."

"Hey, any chance we can come and watch the game?" Matsuda and Motohama poked at Issei, wanting to see the great spectacle of the Rating Game.

Before Issei could answer, someone else did it for him. "I don't see why not." Appearing out of thin air, was the Fallen Angel Governor Azazel. "I mean, we Fallen Angels, Angels and Gods recently got allowed to watch, so why not humans as well? I'm certain Sirzechs would be able to arrange something."

"A-Azazel-sensei?! You are a devil too?!" Matsuda questioned in shock, and was met with the howling laughter of Azazel in return, as the Governor revealed all of his black feathered Fallen Angel wings. "Close, but not quite. I am a Fallen Angel." Azazel retracted his wings as even though the humans didn't understand much of the supernatural, they could only assume by the number of wings Azazel had he was someone important.

"He is actually the head boss of the Fallen Angels… The Governor to be exact." Issei sweat dropped a bit, he hadn't counted on introducing such a big shot to his human friends just yet.

"What is the Governor of the Fallen Angels doing here working as a teacher?!" All five humans questioned in perfect unison.

"Research purposes." Azazel winked with a cheeky smirk on his face. Even though in truth he was here to research the various Sacred Gears in the area.

"S-So, are you like the strongest supernatural being in town? Or should I expect Satan to be casually working at a local McDonalds?" Aika asked with great caution, seeing as their recent encounter with a so called Maou being Shalba wasn't all that great of an experience.

"Hmm, good question. But I honestly think Itachi might be stronger than me by now." Azazel revealed, although he had others in mind like Harry Newgate and Raven aka. Rachel Roth. "And thanks for the fun image of Sirzechs Lucifer working at McDonalds." Azazel bawled out with a heartfelt laughter as he sat down with them.

"Wow, Itachi-senpai really is amazing…" Murayama and Katase looked swooned at the thought of the Sitri heir, they remember how he heroically saved them from Issei in his Juggernaut rampage. They recall his gentle smile as he assured them everything was going to be okay. Flustered the two kendo girls didn't know how they would ever manage to look Itachi in the eyes again. Worried they might embarrass themselves in his presence.

Little did they know, that Itachi was for erasing their memories of the Diodora incident. After the incident the devils had gathered to discuss what was to be done with the humans that ended up getting caught up in the battle against Diodora. All three leaders of Kuoh town had gathered in the Student Council chambers of Kuoh Academy. Itachi Sitri, Sona Sitri and Rias Gremory, each accompanied by their individual peerage members.

The subject of this discussion being what should be done about the humans that were involved in the Diodora incident. "Aside from Issei's parents, I suggest we erase the memories of the other humans. Matsuda-san, Motohama-san, Kiryuu-san, Murayama-san and Katase-san would be at risk of being in danger. Especially since they along with those of us in the second year, are going on a field trip to Kyoto soon. There is no telling if anything will happen on the trip or not, Kyoto is the home of many supernatural creatures. And probably a hot spot for the Khaos Brigade to seek out recruits. Or perhaps weapons."

"Why not erase the minds of Gorou and Miki Hyoudou?" Sona raised the question, why were they so special in this case?

"Because it wouldn't make much of a difference if they kept their memories or not. Either way, due to Issei and Asia's presence in their house, they will be targeted regardless. The best solution is to let them keep their memories, so that they realize the gravity of the situation in the case of an emergency. And let us deal with any attacker. The only other solution, would be for Issei and Asia to move in with us at the mansion. But I doubt that would go smoothly without any form of protest. Be that from Gorou and Miki Hyoudou… Or Issei and Asia." Itachi looked to Issei and Asia who looked conflicted on what to do. Asia didn't want to move away from Gorou and Miki Hyoudou as they had become like parents to her.

"Well, I say we let them all keep their memories." Rias voiced her own opinion and was met with a few questioning stares.

"Why?" Itachi didn't show any judgment towards Rias' suggestion, and was rather intrigued if she had another solution he had not seen.

"We already have humans who know of the existence of the supernatural, such as our clients for example. I don't see why we should treat Issei and Asia's friends any differently." Rias did have a point in her argument, but there was another issue with that.

"Indeed, but what of their safety? If you recall, when Raynare and her little army of stray Exorcists came to town. They went on a hunt not just for us, but our clients as well." Itachi as well had a point.

"We already protect the whole town regardless. Whether or not they are aware of our existence doesn't change that. What if a threat like Trigon shows up again? Kokabiel? Shalba? They would all be in danger regardless if they know or not. All we can do, is do our best to continue protecting them as we have in the past." Rias gaze then softened a bit as she recalled how the humans acted to try and save Asia during the Diodora incident. "Besides, I admire their friendship towards Asia and Issei. I wish to honor that friendship and bond they have, by letting them keep their memories."

"She's got a point." Sona added. "Even though I do think we should erase all their memories. Not just for their safety, but for the secrecy we have tried to establish in this town."

At this Rias giggled a bit. "You mean your secrecy, Souna Shitori?" Sona scowled a bit at Rias' little comment.

"The difference between these students and our contractors, is that our contractors are bound by a magical contract not to reveal any information on us to others. If they get captured, they can leak out some intel during torture sessions. Fact of the matter is we are at the brink of war with Khaos Brigade." Sona continued.

"I agree, besides it is because they have such a close bond with Issei and Asia, I wish to erase their memories. Because they now know of their life as devils, they would most likely put themselves in a dangerous situation to help Issei and Asia." Itachi did have a point there. One could see how much Aika Kiryuu valued her friendship with Asia. Same with Matsuda and Motohama towards Issei. They all jumped at the chance to join in on a fight they didn't have a ghost of chance to win against Diodora and his peerage.

"Well, nothing we can do now but to put it to a vote…" Sona sighs as she felt as if all arguments had been heard. "All those for erasing the memories of Gorou Hyoudou, Miki Hyoudou, Matsuda, Motohama, Aika Kiryuu, Murayama and Katase. Raise your hand." At this Itachi, Raven, Kuroka, Jack, Damian, Kiba, Tsubaki, Saji and Sona all raised their hands. "All opposed." Sona continued as the rest in the room lifted their hand up. "The opposed win with a majority of 15 to 9. The humans shall keep their memories. And we shall take precautions to assure their safety. Meeting adjourned."

Fast forward back to present time, Azazel was trying to assure why the humans should be allowed to watch the Rating Game. "Besides, with the special magic circle marks we placed on you, we can just teleport you out of there if Khaos Brigade tries to attack again during the Games. Although we think that is highly unlikely." At hearing this all the humans looked a bit relieved, all except for Aika.

"What about Asia and the rest? I still don't like the idea of her being in danger. In fact, why do they have to fight a battle clearly meant for you adults?" Aika got a bit defensive and aggressive in her approach, Azazel however remained calm.

"I understand where you are coming from, but fact of the matter is Kiryuu-san. You are a human without any special powers or a Sacred Gear. Asia is a reincarnated Devil with great magical prowess, and with a Sacred Gear that makes her a crucial and valuable member of the Gremory team. In truth we would like to avoid for these kids to get into battle, and would prefer they didn't end up in any danger due to this war with Khaos Brigade. But we cannot make any guarantees or promises of such. As due to their lineage, Itachi, Rias and Sona all have big targets on their backs. And thus, their servants have a target on their back as well. You are just going to have to accept that you are powerless in this matter." Azazel puts it strictly yet with a gentle and understanding tone. As a result, Aika begrudgingly backs down, but she still hadn't given up yet from the looks of it.

Meanwhile, in the very corner of Kuoh town, within a small three-room apartment. The lights were dimmed down, as our half ghoul happily hummed as she sorted through some stuff. The biggest sources of light came from Eto's laptop which had a document of her latest novel she had been working on. The screen showed the title of the novel "The Weasel Prince". Eto's glasses reflected the text of the novel, she hummed as she read through her work. "Still a work in progress… now then, to witness how this new story will play out~" Eto smirked devilishly.

In the corner of her apartment, Eto's television was on. The half ghoul looking at the television, seeing a news coverage of recent Ghoul developments in Tokyo. Eto's expression darkened, as her eyes glared like daggers at a figure on the screen. The title of the news coverage read "New head of CCG Furuta Nimura" or as Eto better knew him Kichimura Washuu. The one who nearly killed her during her rampaging breakout, the same day Itachi recruited her into his peerage.

Eto left her seat, leaving her laptop on while she walked over to a dresser. Eto picked up a lighter and made her way towards what looked like a small shrine. Sitting on her knees, Eto uses the lighter to light a few incense sticks on the shrine. Eto smiled at she looked at picture placed on the center of the shrine. The picture was framed in a simple wooden frame, with a pot filled with rare white flowers beneath. The man in the picture, who was once her enemy, Kishou Arima the White Reaper of the CCG.

Eto quietly gazing onto the picture of Arima, smiles as she claps her hands together, looking like she was praying or rather paying respects. "Ah, that stings." Eto lets out a light moan, feeling a stabbing pain in her head as her devil nature prevents her from praying. But it didn't seem to bother Eto in the slightest as she continued to smile despite the pain.

Whilst in the background, the news coverage on the tv goes on, a news anchor lady going on to say. "Today marks the one-year anniversary since the infamous Kishou Arima was killed in combat by his own disciple, turned traitor Haise Sasaki. Now going under the name Ken Kaneki, the One-Eyed King of the Ghouls. And the new head of the CCG, Furuta Nimura, issues out an all-out manhunt for the One-Eyed King." Eto glances over to the tv screen, seeing the clown in all his glory, her gaze filled with nothing but hatred.

"Furuta Nimura, no, Kichimura Washuu. Taking your head will just be the icing on the cake for what I have planned." Eto lets out a light giggle as she imagines bathing in the blood of that clown. Her sadistic imagination came to a halt, as Eto's phone buzzed, Eto picked up her phone seeing a message from Itachi. "Well, all in good time." Eto shut off the tv, the black screen reflecting an image of her, showing her blazing red ghoul eye, that along with her pale skin made Eto look like ghost.

(Small spicy lime scene incoming, you have been warned)

As Itachi texted Eto, he shut off his phone and placed it in a basket along with his clothes as he was heading into the bath. As Itachi sat there soaking in a heated onsen bath, he began reflecting on certain things. 'Clan… political responsibility… 72 pillars… Shinobi… Devil… Kage… Maou. What do I want to do with my life? No matter the life I've lived, I've always been burdened with the public image of my clan. As Itachi Uchiha… as Itachi Sitri. What do I want? As Itachi Uchiha I've wanted to become Hokage, bring peace to the ninja world. And, I've wanted for Sasuke to be a hero, and for him to help Naruto bring peace where I could not. As Itachi Sitri, I want peace still. But how? Sirzechs is so powerful… yet he hasn't been able to bring peace. Ophis, even with all the power in the world cannot even claim back the Dimensional Gap from Great Red.'

Itachi looks to the ceiling, which was made up out of magic that showed a reflection of the starry night sky outside. 'I know the answer is to cooperate towards peace, and not by my strength alone. I learnt that a long time ago. But with power, it would be easier to unify people. They would help me grow, and in return so would I to them. But, am I doing it right? The Sins, Rias, Sona, Serafall, Azazel, Sirzechs, Michael, I've allied myself with so many… formed so many close and… special bonds. Yet peace still feels far out of reach. It's frustrating. Is war unavoidable? Perhaps I am too pragmatic, perhaps I need to be more of an idealist like Naruto… No, it would be impossible for me to change my nature to such a degree. But perhaps it wouldn't hurt to try, maybe find a perfect mix of both. Naruto had faith in so many, even those he viewed as enemies like Nagato. Through his faith, he saved Nagato. Showed me a different path.'

Itachi smiled as he took in a deep sigh, looking up at the sky as if he was expecting a sign. "Hey, Shisui, what would you have done in my shoes?" Itachi found himself asking out loud, as if he half expected to receive some sort of answer from his deceased friend who he viewed as a brother.

At that moment Itachi heard someone touch a small puddle of water, in his shock he turned around to see a surprised, startled looking Kuroka. Did she overhear him mentioning Shisui? "H-Hey captain… mind if I join you?" Kuroka looked a bit flustered as she removed her towel, revealing her fully naked body.

"Kuroka…?" Itachi found himself at a loss for words, his gaze falling onto Kuroka's wide voluptuous hips, her giant boobs and her cute pink erect nipples. Which judging by her pointy nipples, her blushing face, and her fidgeting hips, she was in heat. Without waiting for an invitation Kuroka joined Itachi in the bath, instantly getting up in his personal space.

"Nya…" Looking a bit in a daze, Kuroka held onto Itachi's shoulders and pulled herself in closer. The heat from her body, and the heart pumping in her heaving hot chest, along with her hot breath tickling against his neck. Her wet, soft tongue licking the sweat off Itachi's neck, wetting a spot on his neck as she began kissing and sucking. Kuroka parted her lips from Itachi's neck, a satisfied smile on her face. "I've made my mark~" Itachi rubbed his neck, where Kuroka had left a hickey mark.

"What brought this on all of a sudden?" Itachi asked with a little smirk on his face, not being completely opposed to this.

"I've fallen too far behind." Kuroka rubbed her hands down Itachi's muscular body, her hands landing straight on his behind where she gave a big squeeze, all with a cheeky smirk on her face. "Hey captain… no, master~" Kuroka seductively whispered into his ear. "Rough me up, master~" Kuroka stuck her tongue out, giving a gentle lick at Itachi's ear. "Touch me~" Kuroka guided his hand onto her breast, his fingers getting buried in the soft mounds of flesh as she gave it a light squeeze. Kuroka continued to guide Itachi's other hand onto her big soft firm butt, his fingers nearly also getting buried in the soft flesh of her ass cheek. "Mmm, kiss me~" Kuroka gave a light moan, her face near Itachi's to the point they could feel their hot breaths on each other. Kuroka stuck her tongue out a bit, awaiting Itachi's lips.

Itachi giving in to his devilishly desires, like a hungrily beast placed his lips on Kuroka's. Sucking on her tongue, tasting every bit of flavor in her mouth. Kuroka gave off light moans, feeling her loins heating up, and not just from the heated onsen waters. Taking Itachi's hand that was on her breast, Kuroka guided it down to her loins, right onto her hot crotch. It was so wet and slippery that Itachi's fingers nearly went right inside of her. "Feel what you are doing to me? Master, it is all for you~" Kuroka panted heavily, nearly out of breath from that intense make out session. "I certainly feel what I am doing to you~" Kuroka smirked, feeling something big, hot and hard poking up against her stomach. Kuroka purred as she reached down, softly grabbing onto Itachi's pulsing member. "If I lacked confidence I would have asked if you liked me or not… seeing as you haven't tried anything before. But seeing your reaction now, tells me all I need to know~" Kuroka went back in for another kiss, as she began stroking Itachi's hot, hard manhood.

"I didn't know you felt bothered." Itachi commented with a light smirk. Taking his fingers out from Kuroka lower entrance, seeing them drenched with liquid. Kuroka's face turned bright red as she saw Itachi suck the liquid off his own fingers. "My poor little kitten felt neglected I see." His calm soothing voice along with that cocky smirk made Kuroka's legs feel like jelly. "You have no need to feel inferior to Rias, Akeno, Raven or anyone…" Itachi takes Kuroka's hand over his chest, so she could clearly feel his heartbeat. Despite his stoic face, his heart beat intensified because of her, his manhood stood erect for her. "Trust me, you excite me like you wouldn't believe. Even now, I am fighting the urge to simply have my way with you. Or is that perhaps something you would wish for?" Itachi smirks a bit as his fingers reach down to her hot crotch, his fingers moving up along the lips and to her clit.

"Nya~" Kuroka moaned a bit as she gets lost in looking into Itachi's eyes, her hips grinding together as she feels Itachi playing around with her. "Are you teasing me?" Kuroka questions through her panting, she hadn't planned on this, her plan was for their roles to be in reverse. She wouldn't lose, Kuroka continued to stroke Itachi's manhood.

"Maybe." Itachi smiles as he begins lightly kissing Kuroka's neck making her let out softer moans. Kuroka's legs eventually gave in, as she fell to her knees. Breathing a little heavily because of the stimulation she felt from Itachi's playing with her crotch. The sensation still fresh in her mind. Kuroka looked before her eyes, she was eye level to Itachi's fully erect manhood. Seeing it pulsing and casting a shadow over her face, Kuroka stared hungrily and the monstrosity before her. Her pink nipples were erect, and her bouncy massive chest was heaving up and down from her intense breathing.

Kuroka pushed Itachi, making him sit on the edge of the pool as she was face to face with his erect member. "Time to reverse the roles, big boy~" Kuroka placed Itachi's hot erect cock between her giant boobs, pushing her elbows against the side of her boobs she sandwiched Itachi's manhood between her hot soft mountains of flesh, with still the top of Itachi's manhood showing from the craves of her cleavage. Itachi flinched a bit, feeling Kuroka's hot breath on the head of his cock. Seeing Itachi flinch made Kuroka feel a sense of victory as she smirked. 'Come on Kuroka, you've seen various videos. You know what to do next…' She thought to herself, feeling a bit nervous. Would she do it right? Would Itachi like it or hate it? Various questions boggled her mind.

"Kuroka… Are you alright?" She must have been thinking about it too long as Itachi looked concerned for her, wondering if she had changed her mind about this.

"I'm fine, captain…. Just admiring my meal~" Kuroka's face flushed in a shade of pink, she stuck her tongue out and proceeded to lick the tip. She heard Itachi grunt a bit, that spot must be rather sensitive. Kuroka giggled and circled her tongue around the head of Itachi's hot pulsing cock, while she moved her boobs around the shaft of his manhood.

Itachi leaned his head backwards, the intense stimulation of Kuroka's soft breasts wrapping themselves around him, and her wet tongue moving around the head of his cock so softly and gently it felt nearly ticklish. Kuroka placed her pink lips around the head of Itachi's cock, starting to take in the top half of his manhood that poked through her cleavage.

Even with only a third of it, Kuroka's mouth felt a bit full already as she continued to bob her head back and forth. Her tongue circling around the shaft and the head, taking in the salty flavor. Kuroka had waited so long for this moment, where she and Itachi would get intimate. And she was going to savor every taste of it. Letting out light moans, and slurping noises, and the occasional break to gasp in air.

Itachi's eyes fell on Kuroka's wide hips and her butt, seeing her twin cat tails wiggling around with excitement. Itachi himself had thought of getting physical like this with Kuroka many times, how could he not when he woke up with her naked beauty next to him every morning? But he had always held himself back, despite his devil instincts. In this moment he found himself questioning himself on why he should hold back? Maybe it was the reaction from the pleasure he was experiencing, but his mind felt empty like he was giving into some form of animalistic instinct.

Kuroka raised her head, gasping for air, her saliva linked in threads around Itachi's cock that was beginning to leak precum from the tip. Kuroka was panting heavily as she licked along the shaft, all the way to the tip, her tongue licking up the precum. "Cum for me baby~" Kuroka purred and moaned lightly as she intensified the movement of her breasts, the soft bouncing boobs pressing and squeezing around Itachi's cock. "All over me, mark me with your scent~" Kuroka seemed to be giving into her urges as well, acting more like a cat in heat. She had even began fingering herself, her wet crotch gushing out more liquid into the heated onsen pool.

Unknown to the two, they had an audience. Hiding behind the sliding door, seeing just through a crack was the younger nekomata Koneko. She held her own hand over her mouth to prevent a shocked gasping sound escape from her lips. She was dressed in her underwear having gone to change before using the bath but was distracted by this odd noise. Kuroka having invited her for a bath Koneko had not expected to find this. Her older sister getting busy with Itachi. Koneko's petite little body started feeling hot, her legs were quivering. Her towel had dropped, revealing her white cat tail wiggling around with a sense of curiosity. Her white cat ears were lowered a bit, and her gaze intensely focused on Itachi's manhood sandwiched between her big sister's breasts.

Koneko quivered, a weird sensation filling in her chest, and an itch coming from her crotch. Koneko shakingly reached her hands down. The little nekomata began rubbing her own crotch over her own underwear, feeling her tiny finger rubbing between her labia. The longer she watched, the wetter her panties got. Koneko began breathing heavily, letting out small moans as she continued to observe. In her imagination, she saw herself in Kuroka's place. Her tiny hands wrapped around Itachi's big, hot, rock-hard cock as she gently kissed the tip, before her tiny mouth attempted to take it all in. Koneko imagined it would be salty, as Itachi tended to train a lot, and would gather up a lot of sweat.

Koneko quivered in pleasure. It wasn't enough touching herself just through the underwear anymore. Koneko moved her hand into her soaked panties her fingers directly touching the lips of her tight vagina, and rubbing her clit. "Nya…" Koneko moaned lightly, her breathing intensifying as her fingers entered, wiggling around within her. "Itachi-senpai…" Koneko moaned out his name, imagining him holding her petite body in his muscular arms, as his fingers played with her crotch as she breathed heavily into his neck. "Itachi-senpai! Itachi-senpai!" She muffled her moans, sucking on two of her fingers to prevent too much sound escaping her lips and alerting Itachi and Kuroka.

Kuroka continued to move her breasts around Itachi's cock, while her tongue swirled and licked around the tip. Hungrily and greedily, she continued to ask for it. "Give it to me baby~ Give me your milk~" One more lick around the back of the head was all it took, as Itachi gave a light grunt as he sprayed his white seed over Kuroka's face and chest.

Koneko seeing this, imagined herself also covered in Itachi's seed, and thus her crotch quivered along with her legs as she came as well. Koneko panted her fingers drenched with her cum, and her panties completely soaked. 'I just came… from watching onee-sama and Itachi-senpai…' Having finished, Koneko's mind began getting clearer. Having a look on her face that read "What did I just do?!"

Kuroka dragged her fingers around her stained breasts, gathering up every bit of Itachi's white seed, and hungrily she sucked it off her own fingers. "I'm yours… and only yours…" Kuroka stood up and sat on Itachi's lap, rubbing her hot crotch across his still erect manhood. "Now take me. Ravage this naughty slutty cat~" She continued to rub her crotch against Itachi's pulsing hot cock, the sensation giving Kuroka an itch she needed to get scratched. "Ne~ Captain. I won't tell anyone, so please~" She positioned herself on the tip of Itachi's cuck, playfully pushing it up against her entrance.

"Kuroka…" Itachi's mind had gotten a bit clearer now, but he still-

"Enough!" The sliding doors slammed open, the startled Itachi turned around and Kuroka smirked devilishly. Standing in the doorway was Koneko, she looked livid, her face was bright red as she glared at them. Only after his mind having cleared up from this session with Kuroka, did Itachi notice the younger nekomata's presence.

"Shirone, come and join us~ Let's make a bunch of cute little kittens with Itachi~" Kuroka purred, wanting to continue this with a threesome with her own sister.

"Eh?" Itachi looked a bit surprised, seeing Koneko's death glare he had a good idea of what was going to happen.

"You damn horny idiot big sister!" Koneko shouted loudly from her tiny body, which surprised Itachi a bit.

"You say that, but I bet you enjoyed the show." Kuroka's nose picked up a scent, being a nekomata she had a greater sense of smell and hearing. "Ara, seems you really enjoyed yourself." Kuroka looked at Koneko panties, seeing they were soaking wet. Koneko's face flushed bright red, and did the only thing she could do before Itachi noticed, she rushed at Kuroka and tackled her off of Itachi, and into the onsen pool making a big splash.

"Baka!" Koneko screamed with embarrassment holding Kuroka's head under water. Kuroka wailed around, making the water splash all over the place.

"N-Now Koneko…" Itachi gently held onto Koneko's shoulders, and pulled her back away from Kuroka who got up gasping for air.

"Guess onee-chan took it too far… nya." Kuroka sweat dropped and tried to brush it off with a giggle. "I just wanted you to get closer to Itachi, after all I am not the only one falling behind."

Koneko flinched, as when Itachi had pulled her back, she could feel his still erect manhood pushing against her back. Koneko began breathing heavily, her face bright red, and she refused to face Itachi not wanting him to see her face right now. Kuroka however smiled, seeing how cute her embarrassed sister looked right now.

Koneko in her embarrassment may have reacted a bit harshly, as she elbowed Itachi in the stomach. Itachi groaned a bit. Koneko still had the strength of a Rook after all. "I-I'm sorry…" Itachi mumbled as he looked down on Koneko, thinking she was upset that he had fooled around with her sister.

"Sorry, senpai… I didn't mean to…" Koneko regretted that elbow blow earlier, her little frame turned around to face Itachi. Her petite little body made Koneko feel self-conscious. Itachi must think she looked like a child compared to Kuroka. "I…" Koneko's face turned crimson red as she looked down seeing Itachi's soldier still standing in salute. Her big eyes looked up seeing Itachi's gaze locked on her.

Seeming to realize the situation, Itachi's cheeks turned a bit red as well as he quickly knelt down to conceal his soldier in the onsen water. "S-Sorry… Umm, how about we forget this ever happened, yeah?" Itachi tried to smooth the situation over.

'Was he still like that because of me?' Koneko thought, she didn't hide her body from him, and only looked on him with anticipation of some form of reaction.

"Shirone is quite cute, isn't she captain?" Kuroka decided to lend a hand, she probably knew Koneko was a bit self-conscious about her body. Kuroka thought it was ridiculous, as in her eyes Koneko was perfect the way she was. Kuroka thought her sister was the cutest little thing in this whole world.

"Hn." Itachi didn't have the words. He avoided direct eye contact and gave a nod in agreement. He really wasn't good with these types of things. But that reaction was all Koneko needed, as she had a tiny smile grow on her face. "I-I should go… got some training to do." Itachi excused himself, leaving the two sisters in the bath. Itachi hated to admit it, but that little session with Kuroka left the desire for more in him. He had to admit his mind felt a bit clearer now as well, and quite a bit of stress felt like it had melted away from his mind. The Sitri heir was experiencing post nut clarity.

(End of spicy lime, hope you enjoyed)

Itachi needed a break from these desires, so he decided to go to the training room. He had a simulation of a forest already put into the database, and was going to do some old fashion shuriken training, as well as stealth.

Before Itachi can even enter the training area, he is stopped by a pair of arms that wrap themselves around him. Itachi heard her giggle as she gave a light nibble on his earlobe. "You wanted something Akeno?" Itachi recognized the playful nature of the hybrid Fallen Angel, he turned to meet the gaze of her seductive violet eyes.

"Itachi, I was wondering…" Akeno turned him around and leaned closely into his chest, feeling his pecs, while she made sure Itachi felt her soft chest which surpassed even Kuroka's in size. "Are you free this weekend?" Akeno hungrily stared into his eyes, her lustful gaze practically drinking in the sight of Itachi in his training tights. Her finger gently stroking under his chin.

"Well, I was hoping to get some training done this weekend. Why?" Akeno pouted a bit at his answer, thinking she had made her desire quite clear.

"There is this crepe place I've been dying to check out, and I was wondering… if you wanted to come along? Walk around, having fun, maybe stop by a love hotel and come back home the next morning." Itachi widened his eyes, having sort of interpretated the hidden meaning behind Akeno's words. What was with these girls today? First Kuroka and now Akeno? Well, this certainly was a productive afternoon.

"You want to go on a date this weekend?" Itachi asked with the intention being of questioning if this is what she wanted from him.

"I would love to! 10 o'clock by the convenience store next to the local train station. See ya!" Akeno, most likely having understood what Itachi really meant with that question, still walked away happily with an innocent giggle. Akeno knew if she wanted to get something from Itachi, she needed to just push him a bit in the right direction.

Itachi was left dumbfounded, but couldn't help but smile at Akeno's boldness. "Well… guess I have a date this weekend." Itachi gave a light chuckle as he entered the training room.

Akeno was happily humming while in the kitchen, preparing tonight's dinner for everyone with Rias. "You seem in a good mood?" Rias took notice of her best friend having this cheerful air around her, as she was chopping vegetables.

"Oh, I am~!" Akeno smiled.

Rias smiled happily from seeing her friend like this, but she was also curious. "Well, what is it?"

"Itachi asked me out on a date this weekend." Akeno said all giddy as she added the chopped vegetables to the pot.

"Oh, that's great-" Rias took a moment to process what she had just heard, and turned to Akeno with a flabbergasted expression. "Eh?"

A few days later, the weekend date with Akeno had arrived. Itachi stood outside of their agreed meeting spot. Looking around town one could tell they were entering autumn season, but the heat of the summer still remained. Itachi was wearing a short sleeved black blazer, with a white short sleeved turtleneck underneath, and matching dark jeans. Itachi looked onto his clock, and saw it was 10 o'clock on the dot.

The moment Itachi looked up from his clock, he saw a beautiful woman around his age dressed in a one-piece with a cute frill on it. She giggles at seeing his surprised expression. "Wait long?"

"A-Akeno…" Itachi was a bit taken aback by her beauty. He had seen her on almost a daily basis for years now. But seeing her like this in her casual clothes, and with her long silky black hair let down from her usual ponytail. This was also the first time Itachi had seen Akeno wear boots that boosted her height up a bit, she still was a head shorter than Itachi.

"Hmm?" She teasingly smiled at him while tilting her head sideways, giggling a bit and taking Itachi's stunned silence as a sign of victory. "I asked if you waited long?"

"No, I got here a few minutes ago." Itachi's eyes were still drinking in the sight of Akeno, she looked exceptionally beautiful today, more so than usual. No, in fact with Akeno dressed like a common high school girl, in contrast to the mature vibe she usually gives off, made Akeno look very cute.

Itachi must have been starring too long, because Akeno seemed to get a bit flustered. Cutely blushing while avoiding direct eye contact, but sneaking a glance or two back at him while brushing some of her bangs back a bit. "I feel shy if you look at me like that… do I look that weird?"

"You look very cute Akeno." Itachi smiled from seeing this shy side of Akeno, that was new. "Shall we?" Itachi offered his hand.

Akeno looks very happy at hearing that. She accepts Itachi's hand and cuddles up to him. "Today Itachi is my boyfriend. For the whole day."

"I'm honored." Itachi smiled and Akeno beamed with pure joy. That's cheating, Itachi thought to himself as his heart skipped a beat. Itachi froze as he suddenly felt a chill of a death glare digging itself into his back. Itachi casually turned around, and when he did, he saw a crimson color.

Itachi sweat dropped, looking on with a deadpan expression as he saw a crimson haired person wearing a hat and sunglasses hiding behind a telephone pole. 'Déjà vu.' Itachi thought as this reminded him of his date with Rias where the rest ended up trailing them. Itachi looked around, seeing a short white-haired girl, with a more mature looking black-haired girl both wearing sunglasses and facemasks. He looked into the convenience store they stood next to, seeing a dark-haired girl with pale skin peeking up from a magazine she was reading. And next to her was a green haired girl who didn't really bother hiding herself, and instead playfully waved at him before getting scolded by the pale skinned girl with the magazine. "You're going to get us caught!" He heard the whisper from the pale skinned girl.

"Think you just blew your own cover goth girl." Eto smiled playfully at Raven, who hid her blushing face behind the magazine.

'Crap, try not to smile…' Itachi struggled a bit to keep a straight face, he found this quite amusing. 'Still, no sign of a certain overprotective little sister of mine.' Itachi looked around but didn't see any signs of Sona, guess she didn't find out about the date.

"Ara ara. They sure have too many people to check whether or not we're having an affair." Akeno of course also noticed their friend group hidden behind those simple disguises. Akeno then held tightly onto Itachi's arm, as a way to show their closeness.

CRACK!

Itachi flinched, his eyes peering over to the corner seeing a certain crimson haired princess cracking the telephone pole with her bare hand. 'I'm just going to pretend I didn't see that.' Itachi put his full focus on Akeno. "Shall we go then?"

"Yes!" Akeno said with great enthusiasm. They headed into town for their date.

They walked around for three hours, talking about nothing and everything. Akeno for once looked relaxed and acted like a girl at her age. Going into expensive brand clothing shops and trying on various outfits. Asking Itachi which outfit she looked better in.

When they reached the crepe stand, Itachi got a banana flavored crepe while Akeno got strawberry flavored. Akeno then snuck in a bite of Itachi's crepe, she giggled at seeing his surprised facial reaction. "Want to taste mine?" Akeno offered as she held her strawberry crepe up to his face. "Ah~" Itachi felt a bit flustered over doing something like this in public, he could hear the people around them whisper and gossip about this cute young couple. Itachi hesitantly took a bite of Akeno's crepe. "Is it tasty?" She asked.

"Yes, very sweet." Itachi spoke in between his chewing.

"Ah, you got some cream on your face." Akeno noticed the bit of cream on the corner of Itachi's lip, she leaned up to him and licked it off. Her wet tongue brushing against his lips.

"Hn." Itachi felt too flustered to say anything, giving a mere nod as thanks as his cheeks were a little red. He was fine with things like this in private, but public like this was a little too much for him.

SHATTER!

Itachi flinched looking behind him seeing a certain crimson haired girl having tightened the grip on her glass till it broke. 'Going to pretend I didn't see that…' Itachi then also saw Eto and Raven in the corner of the shop, with Eto snapping pictures of a flustered looking Itachi with her phone.

"So cute!" He heard a light squeal coming from Kuroka who was hiding nearby with Koneko. The older nekomata saying thanks for getting to see Itachi's flustered reaction, while viewing a picture she had snapped of Itachi on her phone.

"Hey Itachi, I have one more shop I would like to go to~" Akeno playfully held onto his arm while giving of light chuckles, most likely from everyone trailing them and their reactions, mostly Rias'. You shouldn't bully her too much Akeno. Itachi thought with a lighthearted chuckle.

Itachi stood with a deadpan expression, waiting outside of the changing booths in a lingerie shop. Never before had he felt so out of place. Everywhere he looked there were female undergarments, quite alluring ones too that didn't leave much to the imagination.

"Hmm, Itachi could you go to the clerk and check if they have this top in a bigger size, it doesn't quite fit me." Akeno said from behind the curtain, handing Itachi a black bra. Each of the cups big enough to fit over his head.

'This is an… E cup?' Itachi pictured Akeno right now holding her arms around her massive bust. Itachi shook his head, giving a light groan as he walked over to the store clerk.

"Can I help you?" The clerk asked, she kept a professional expression as she smiled at him.

"M-My girlfriend needs this in a bigger size…" Itachi presented the bra, trying his best to conceal it from view of the other customers. His voice sounding quiet and stoic, but he felt himself grow more flustered as he heard some of the other customer's giggle. Even the clerk seemed to struggle to keep a straight face.

"Understood, I will be right back~" The clerk went to get a bigger sized bra, and Itachi looking a bit emotionally drained walked back to the changing booth.

"All good?" Akeno peeked her head out from the curtains, giggling at seeing Itachi's expression.

"Peachy…" Itachi caught a small peek accidently, seeing Akeno was right now topless within the changing booth. Itachi stepped in front of the crack of the curtain so no one else would catch a glimpse. "Why the sudden need to come here if you don't mind me asking?"

"I wanted to wear something special for our first night, something you handpicked~" Akeno said with a light giggle, as she could imagine Itachi's face right now. The moment they walked into the store, Itachi's eyes had fallen on the mannequin wearing a black bra and panties, with a black garter belt and stockings. Mostly as it was in the center of the store, and quite the eyecatcher. And right away Akeno went to try it on.

The clerk then returned with a bigger sized bra. "Here you go miss. Hope it fits." The clerk reached her hand into the curtains handing Akeno the bra.

"Thank you." The clerk went away, but not before giving Itachi a wink.

"Hey Itachi." Akeno called, waving for him to come closer.

"Yeah?" Itachi stepped up to the curtain, to which Akeno grabbed him by the collar and yanked him inside. "Well? How do I look?" Akeno posed before him, showing off her assets. The bra looking like it barely held, as her boobs looked like they were about to pop out. Her wide luscious hips were held tightly by the garter belt. And her long legs were dressed in see through black stockings. Akeno span around a bit, showing off her backside, the shape of her butt visible through the tight panties. Itachi's eyes were drinking in this sight, then his eyes met Akeno's. Her violet eyes glistening, she looked a bit shy and playful at the same time.

"You look good. Very… sexy." Itachi said to put it into more modern terms, it wasn't a word he felt like he would have ever used in his life, but here we were. Akeno seemed thrilled at the answer, smiling with great joy.

Akeno leaned into his ear and whispered. "Bet you can hardly wait to unwrap me, or maybe you want me to keep some of this on~?" Akeno playfully planted a kiss on Itachi's cheek. Akeno bought the lingerie, and they left the store. Itachi from the corner of his eye, saw Kuroka rush in to buy a similar set of lingerie. Rias seemed to have made quite the purchase, holding various shopping bags from the lingerie shop.

Akeno put on an adorable mischievous smile, grabbing onto Itachi's hand she began to run. "Let's shake off Rias and the others." Itachi didn't have time to argue, and ran with Akeno.

Noticing they were running away from them, Rias bolted after them at full speed while carrying her lingerie bags. "Ara ara, you think she wants a threesome?"

"… Something honestly tells me that isn't far away from happening nowadays." Itachi honestly admitted, as it seemed such a thing could end up being a possibility one day.

Akeno gave an amused chuckle. "Well, as much as I would love that. I would prefer a night alone with you first~" Like she was upping her gear, Akeno took off at greater speed, taking sharp rights and lefts. Rias was however hot on their trail, and behind her were the rest. They passed others civilians like mere blurs, leaving them astonished. "My she is persistent. She really wants to be the one to take your virginity."

"… Wait, what?" Itachi was at a loss for words, there was a competition for who gets to be his first? Huh, makes Itachi wonder how they all would react that Kuroka was this close to claim his first.

"Hmm." Akeno hummed trying to figure out how to shake off Rias, an idea suddenly popped into her head. Akeno took a right into a back alley and Rias was quick to follow. "Zap~" Akeno flicked her fingers creating a cage of lightning to catch Rias, the Gremory heiress fell into the trap. Looking to be fuming as she stared from the other side of the cage. Didn't help that Akeno looked back to her and playfully stuck her tongue out while winking at Rias.

Rias released her aura, her destruction power eating away Akeno's lightning cage, and Rias took chase once more. Rias ran past a small dark narrow roadway, the shadows of the others shortly followed. Itachi and Akeno stepped out from the shadows, Akeno giving a victorious smile as they successfully lost them. "Ufufu, looks like we lost them." Akeno gave Itachi a cute mischievous smirk.

"Yeah… but I feel like I'm going to get killed after this." Itachi said with a humorous chuckle.

"Rias loves you too much, maybe she will just give you a spanking." Akeno giggled at the thought.

"Heh, maybe." Since they ran, they didn't really pay attention to where they were going. Looking around Itachi saw various signs "Rest for 5000 Yen" or "One Steamy Night for 7000 Yen" They were surrounded by nothing but love hotels. "Umm, Akeno maybe we should leave… the others will definitely misunderstand."

Akeno grabbed onto Itachi's sleeve, looking at him with her face red and she spoke timidly. "I'm okay with it… if Itachi wants to go inside, I'm okay with it." Akeno didn't look like her usual mature self, and instead appeared as this timid innocent maiden.

"I-" Before Itachi could even make this ultimate decision, someone interrupted.

"My, trying to make love to a woman in the middle of the afternoon. You sure got game, Sitri brat." Itachi turned around, and saw the old geezer Norse God Odin along with his attendant Rossweisse and the worst possible person for this situation, Akeno's father Baraqiel. "Hohoho!" Odin laughed.

"What are you doing here Odin-dono?" Itachi asked, what business did the All Father God of the Norse have here in Japan?

"Odin-sama! I would be troubled if you wandered into a place like this! You are a God so please act proper!" Rossweisse proceeded to scold Odin.

Odin let out a tired sigh. "Rossweisse you are a Valkyrie. You need to learn about such places so you can better take care of heroes."

"I get it! I am a Valkyrie who has no appeal at all!" No, in fact she is quite beautiful but seems to have low self-esteem. Rossweisse then turned her attention to Itachi and Akeno. "And you two shouldn't be here! You two are high school students, right?! You should be at home studying!"

"Well, you see-" Itachi tried to explain himself, but the ominous looming figure of Baraqiel silenced him for a moment as the Fallen Angel spoke in a booming voice.

"Akeno, what is the meaning of this?!" Of course, he would be pissed, Itachi understood quite well how this situation made him look. Itachi also noticed Akeno looks uncomfortable around her father, as she clings to Itachi.

"That's none of your business! More than that, why are you here?" Akeno avoided eye contact with her father.

"That doesn't matter! Anyway, get away from here! It's still too early for you!" Baraqiel despite their awkward family situation, acted protective of Akeno. Itachi could tell the man cared deeply for his daughter. Baraqiel tried to grab Akeno's arm, but she refused and clung to Itachi. "Boy! I may have trusted you to care for my daughter! But now you bring her to such a place! You are just another devil after all!"

"Don't bad mouth the man I love!" Akeno went off and shouted at her father. She held harder onto Itachi's arm, she was trembling.

"Listen, Baraqiel it's a misunderstanding. We didn't come here to have sex. There were just some unfortunate circumstances that led our date to… lead us here." Itachi at hearing his own words realized that was a shitty excuse. So much for trying to calm the situation.

"Bullshit! Like I would believe something like that! Also, a date?! Who told you that you had permission to date my daughter?!" Baraqiel began the interrogation.

"And who says he needs your permission?!" Akeno snaps, Itachi saw tears drip down from Akeno's eyes. "You who weren't there on the most crucial point of my life, has no right to tell me what to do! Itachi is twice the man you ever were! He is there for me every day when I need him!"

At hearing this, Baraqiel backs down looking saddened. Itachi felt sympathy for the man, he really did. But he also understood Akeno's anger. Their situation was rather complicated. "Akeno, I-"

"I don't want to hear it!" Akeno dragged Itachi towards a Love Hotel.

"Wh-Where do you think-" Baraqiel looked to be panicking.

"That is between me and my boyfriend!" Akeno in order to spite her father, went into the love hotel with Itachi who looked a bit uncomfortable with the situation, but regardless went along with it.

Later on, in a hotel room, Itachi sits on the side of the bed shirtless. And Akeno comes up from behind, and hugs him wearing nothing but a bathrobe. "Sorry, Itachi… but can we just stay like this for a while? Please?" Akeno's voice was quivering.

"Yeah, I never expected anything else in the first place." Itachi smiled, turned around to face Akeno, he embraced her in a hug. "I will not leave your side. Take all the time you need." Itachi says comfortingly as Akeno cries into his shoulder. They stay like this for hours, Akeno venting out her frustrated emotions.

Then they just lay on the bed, Akeno feeling exhausted as she cuddles up to Itachi, with Itachi big spooning her. "Akeno, remember the day we first met? And I learnt of your situation with your father?"

"Yeah…" Akeno gave a light nod.

"Remember what I said?"

"Yeah, you told me to talk to him… to hear his side of the story on why he couldn't be there for me. To save mother." Akeno trembled. She would cry but she was out of tears. She found comfort in Itachi's warm embrace. "I know you are right… but, back there I was just so frustrated. With him acting like that towards you, when you have always been there for me when I needed you, unlike him." Akeno holds onto Itachi's hand, like he was the last hope of light in her dark bleak life.

"I think it is time, you opened up that box and talked with your father." Itachi knew this matter couldn't wait. Akeno needed to resolve her issues with her father for the sake of her own health.

"I'm scared… I'm scared to know the truth."

"There is no reason for you to be afraid. For no matter what, I will always be here for you." Itachi said comfortingly, and Akeno turned around to face him, the two looked into each other's eyes and shared a kiss.

"You won't leave me?" Akeno's voice trembled as she asked.

"Never. Even after my dying breath, I will always be with you. In body and in spirit." Itachi held his hand over her bosom, feeling her beating heart.

"I love you, Itachi." Akeno put her lips over Itachi's once more, in a passionate kiss.

"And I love you, Akeno." They laid there for a few moments, as Akeno was trying to make a decision.

"I will do it… I will talk to him… I can sense he is still outside of this hotel. Would you mind, getting him for me? I need to prepare myself." Itachi nodded, he got out of the bed and put his shirt and blazer back on.

Itachi walked out of the Love Hotel, and like Akeno said Baraqiel was still here. Shaking, wondering if Itachi had taken Akeno's purity. "Odin and Rossweisse are gone I see…"

"… Azazel came to get them. They went back to your home." Baraqiel tried to contain his anger, he knew how much Itachi meant for Akeno and thus couldn't bring himself to harm him.

"She's inside room 201, she wants to talk to you." Baraqiel looked stunned, and a bit hesitant he walked towards the entrance to the hotel. He stopped next to Itachi.

"Did you?" Baraqiel couldn't bring himself to ask, Itachi and Akeno were in there for hours after all.

"I held her as she cried. Comforted her, and talked her into resolving this issue between you two. Nothing else happened. You have my word. I will never do anything to hurt her." Baraqiel took Itachi's word for it, placed his hand on Itachi's shoulder and gave a thanking nod before going in.

"… Seems things escalated, huh?" Itachi turned around and saw Rias, she didn't look upset or angry, rather concerned. She must have connected the dots from seeing Akeno's father here.

"Yeah, hopefully they can talk things out." Rias walked next to Itachi, determined to wait for her best friend to see how she was doing. "Where are the others?" Itachi asked and Rias cracked a small humorous smile.

"After we lost track of you, Kuroka and Koneko decided to go do some sisterly bonding. Probably to get some sweets, or maybe get some… special attire they saw you admire earlier." Rias showed off a bag she had from the lingerie shop with said attire in, while giving Itachi a mischievous teasingly smirk. "And as for Raven and Eto… well, Eto started toying with the idea on taking Raven on a date around town for shits and giggles. But Raven brushed her off and they both headed on back home."

"I see, well looks like you had fun." Itachi said with a knowing smile.

Rias lightly punched his arm. "I would say you had more fun than us."

"Well, it was a productive day to say the least." Itachi chuckled.

Akeno in the meantime sat with her father, not looking him in the eye. While Baraqiel looked awkward. There was a long silence, until Akeno's low voice broke it. "Where were you, when those men came to kill mother and I?"

"… It started off as an ordinary day. But then I was called back to the Grigori by Azazel. There was an attack on our headquarters, which we now suspected involved Khaos Brigade. As it was the Old Maou Faction who wanted to chase us out of the Underworld. You were, still asleep before I left… I talked to your mother of my mission. Shuri was quite understanding, she gave me a home-made lunch box and wished me luck." Baraqiel clenched his fists together at the last memory he had of his beloved before her death.

"As Suou Himejima probably told you that night… They never approved of mine and your mother's union. And the day I left, Suou or someone else from your mother's clan seemed to have been eavesdropping. Suou took advantage of my absence, and sought to cleanse the Himejima bloodline, by killing you and your mother." Akeno recalled the night quite clearly, the Himejima clan came to murder her and her mother in cold blood.

"I learnt however of their attack, when they broke through the barrier I had set around our home. I fought through armies of the Old Maou Faction to get back home to Shuri and you. I was so blinded, that I even received a lethal wound that left a scar." Baraqiel unbuttoned his suit and shirt, revealing a deep scar on his chest right above his heart. "It was left by Shalba Beelzebub. Azazel and Shemhazai healed me to the best of their abilities, and we managed to push Shalba and his forces back. I rushed as fast as I could, but by the time I arrived it was too late…" Baraqiel shed tears, as he remembered storming in through the front door, fatigued and wounded he still fended off the attackers from the Himejima clan before they could kill a 10-year-old Akeno. But he was too late to save Shuri, who from the looks of it had taken a killing blow to protect their daughter.

Akeno sat and intently listened to her father's story, shedding a tear at seeing his scar that symbolized his love for her and her mother. He did try, tried his best to save them. But he was only one man, yet he tried with all his might. "And I treated you so harshly…" Akeno sounded ashamed, remembering how she yelled at her father, declaring her hatred for the blood they shared.

"No, Akeno nothing is your fault! I wasn't strong enough! If only I was stronger! I could have arrived sooner, I could have saved Shuri, and you wouldn't have had to suffer! You were only a child, you reacted as expected of a child in such a situation. I was too weak! I'm still too weak!" Baraqiel broke down, falling to his knees before Akeno. "I was afraid to tell you this… afraid to admit my weakness to you. For I as your father, wanted nothing but to protect you. After you left on your own… I watched over you closely from the shadows. All the way, until Rias Gremory took you in. I know I failed you… and I am fine with you hating me. But as your father, I still love and cherish you. The fruit of mine and Shuri's love… I just want to watch you grow, and protect you. Nothing more…"

Akeno sat down before her father, her hands grasping onto his giant rough hand. Baraqiel in awe at this sign of affection from his daughter looked up, seeing Akeno smile as tears ran down her face. "I was also afraid… I was afraid to find out if you didn't really love me and mother. But now, I have confirmed that you truly loved us."

"Of course, you and Shuri were my heaven, losing her… and you. It was infinite times more painful than being kicked out of Heaven."

"Well, you haven't lost me quite yet." Akeno corrected her father to which he broke out in tears.

"Akeno!" Baraqiel jumped to embrace his daughter. "Never again! I will never let you feel sad again!"

"Ara, that is quite a promise." Akeno gave a light hearted chuckle.

"That Itachi Sitri… does he treat you right?" Baraqiel returned to his overprotective father mode.

"Yeah, he is strong, smart and kind. Most of all, he is there for me." At hearing how highly his daughter praised Itachi, Baraqiel seemed to have made up his mind and gave a nod. "Let's go, father."

Akeno and Baraqiel later exited the hotel, and found Itachi and Rias waiting for them. Akeno ran up to Itachi and hugged him tightly, and even planting a kiss on his lips. "Hope you don't mind, Rias." Akeno looked to her master who didn't even flinch, Rias merely sighed.

"Well, today was your day. I suppose I should apologize for following you on your date." Rias looked happy to see that Akeno and her father had sorted things out. "I'm just glad to see you are doing better, Akeno."

"Thank you, Rias. I love you." Akeno jumped to hug Rias, and in further surprise to everyone she planted her lips on Rias's. Holding onto her master tightly, as Akeno pushed her tongue into Rias's mouth swirling it around, taking in and savoring the flavor of her master. Rias frantically moved her arms up and down, in full panic at this sudden show of affection. When Akeno pulled away, Rias's face was as red as her hair, and she looked confused. "I will be in your care~" Akeno winked at Itachi, who gave a light nervous chuckle.

"She finally snapped huh?" Itachi gave a light chuckle at seeing Rias' reaction.

"Hang on…" Rias stoically moved to Itachi, and quickly pulled him in for a kiss. Holding firmly onto his chin, and moving her tongue around his mouth. "Yep, much better." Rias seemed satisfied as she broke the kiss.

"Boy." Baraqiel spoke in a low growling voice, having just witnessed his daughter kiss Itachi, then his daughter kissed another girl, and then said other girl also kissed Itachi. Yeah, this probably didn't look that good. Itachi thought as he turned around to face Baraqiel. "I am sorry for my assumptions earlier. I am forever thankful for everything you have done for my daughter. There isn't a man I would trust her with more than you." Baraqiel puts his hand on Itachi's shoulder. "You have my blessing to date Akeno."

"Eh?" Itachi caught off guard, he had been expected to be scolded. Akeno smiled happily as she hugged Itachi's right arm, Rias was also quick to hug Itachi's left arm.

"Hey, Itachi is my fiancé." Rias pouted.

"I don't mind sharing. After all, I want to spend my life with the two of you." Akeno giggled with great joy being with the two people she loved the most.

"Well… I suppose it is devil tradition to have a harem. You won't hear any objections from me. Now if you will excuse me, I need to return to Odin-dono." Baraqiel awkwardly coughed and left them be.

'Wait, so I have two girlfriends now? Or does Kuroka and Raven count as well? No, that's not really official. Wait, when did I suddenly decide on having a harem?' Itachi looked with a deadpan expression at his current situation. "Wait, earlier Baraqiel said Azazel had taken Odin back to our home… Should we maybe go as well?"

"It is getting pretty late, so maybe we should." Rias pointed out as the sun was setting down.

"Or, we can all book a room at a Love Hotel. We're certainly in the district for it~" Akeno purred as she looked with a lusting gaze at Itachi and Rias.

"… W-Well, if Itachi wants to." Rias blushed as she avoided direct eye contact with a smug looking Akeno.

"Ehehe, maybe another time." Itachi sweat dropped, that was a night he didn't feel like his heart was ready for just yet. Besides, he was very curious what the Chief God of the Norse wanted in Japan. Maybe it involved Khaos Brigade planning another attack?

"Mm~" Akeno and Rias both collectively gave a cute pout.

"You two serious right now?" Itachi asked and was met with the sound of them giggling at him. They were teasing him.

"No, you are right. We should really go see what business the Norse Gods have here. It is our territory after all." Rias agreed, and thus they all headed on home.

Late at night, Damian and Jack were on their way home after a brief run into a local market. Damian carried the bags as he observed Jack walking dressed in a nice-looking coat with a belt tied around her waist. "… You are wearing your usual outfit under that coat, aren't you?" Damian asked and was instantly met with a deadly glare from Jack.

"What of it?" Jack held her arms defensively around herself, to which Damian sweat dropped.

"Since when did you care? I've seen that bubble butt of yours through that thong you usually wear plenty of times." Damian looked with a perverted grin, to which Jack pulled out a blade holding it up to Damian's jugular. "Yare, yare, you may have started to refer to yourself as a singular person, but you are still as deadly as ever."

At hearing this Jack's cheeks flushed a bit in a shade of pink, summoning forth multiple blades pointing at Damian. "Shut up…"

"Damn, okay girl. Sheesh, thought we was tight." Jack had veins bulging around her temple as she dealt a sharp kick to Damian's ankle. "Son of a-!" Damian yelped in pain and jumped around on one leg.

"Stop being a little whiny bitch, and be glad I didn't stab you." Jack told him off as she continued walking on leaving Damian behind.

The former bounty hunter cracked a smile. 'Glad somethings haven't changed…' Damian quickly caught up to Jack, having been a bit worried for her ever since she asked him about being honorable, and being an assassin.

As they were walking the two former assassins felt a sensation that they were familiar with, hostility with a mixture of killing intent. "Jack." Damian signaled.

"I know." The two of them split as they jumped aside seeing hands reach out from a shadow that had mixed in with their own. Jack was quick to throw scalpels towards the hands reaching out from the shadow, the tiny sharp blade piercing through the palm of the hands.

"Argh! Damn little girl got moves!" A man crawled out from the shadow, plucking out the scalpels pierced through his hands. He was a young man with straight black hair tied into a bun, his eyes covered by a pair of shades. And he seemed to be wearing a Japanese school uniform.

"Judging by this feeling, he is human. Capture him for questioning." Damian declared as he brought forth his sacred gear, the sound of wires freely moving around in the air coming from all around him.

"I know." Jack unbuckled the belt around her waist, opening the coat revealing its inside pockets to be filled with blades.

Damian moved his strings in to bind this stranger, and Jack chucked various daggers towards the man to neutralize him by stabbing his arms and legs. However, a second figure then jumped in, he wielded a long blade that resembled a cleaver as it had a circular hole on the top corner. A strange aura came around the hole of his cleaver like blade, and it sucked in Jack's daggers and the strings of Damian's Sacred Gear like a blackhole. The man with the shades smirked, as the shadow beneath him changed its shape into a rising tsunami like wave of darkness.

"You got too cocky back there, Connla." The man with the cleaver blade commented with a sly smirk on his face. He had wild dark black hair and clear blue eyes, he was dressed in a red vest with the sleeves ripped clean off and a black T-shirt underneath decorated with what looked like a spraypainted death skull with crossbones.

"Alex, I told you I got this." The one with the shades known as Connla declared.

"Lucky us, two of the notorious Seven Deadly Sins. The Cobra Sin of Wrath, Jack the Ripper. And the Racoon Sin of Greed, Damian. Surely this fight will push us to the edge." The man with the cleaver sword, known as Alex smirked and ignored his partner's claim.

"Who are you?" Damian formed new strings around his fingertips, as the ones that were sucked in by Alex's blade were ripped to shreds.

"My name is Alex Teach, and I am here to cleanse this town of you devil filth." Alex declared completely ignoring his partner's existence.

"Hey! Don't talk like I'm not here!" Connla glared at his teammate with contempt.

"They both have a Sacred Gear." Jack commented to which Damian gave a nod, having noticed it as well.

"Now then…" Alex jumped at Damian slashing his blade which emitted a strange energy that vibrated through the air. Damian tilted his head sideways, as the force of the swing of Alex's blade cut down light poles, as well as scratching Damian's cheek with a minor cut. However, the damage sustained to the terrain behind Damian was something else. Damian widening his eyes seeing a large part of the concreate road having been cut and split wide-open swallowing nearby parked cars.

As Damian went in for a counter strike, Alex switched the grip of his blade tossing it to his other hand. The blade generated another strange wave of energy as Damian's strings went around Alex and his blade like if they bounced off him. Alex tossed the blade back to his right hand, as he slashed it downwards at Damian's torso. Although the blade connected with a clang, as Damian at God like speed had crafted a long spear out of his strings. However, Damian didn't escape without cost as he was slashed on his right shoulder, and the concreate ground beneath him had cracked open and sunken into a crater.

"Is this it? I expected more. Are you the same Sins that defeated Kokabiel? The same Sins that annihilated Katerea Leviathan and Creuserey Asmodeus? The same Sins that brought Shalba Beelzebub to his knees?! If so, how does it feel to lose to a mere human?!" Alex looked with a malicious grin.

"Ho? So, you've done your research? Well, nice sword by the way… I might take it later, kay?" Damian smirked as he pushed Alex back with a mighty heavy swing, followed by a blitzing thrust of the spear.

"Take my sword, eh?" Alex managed to parry Damian's spear just in time, managing to direct it aside, but Alex still suffered a slash wound on the side of his abdomen. "It won't be that easy."

"Perhaps, and for the record I was born human." Damian mentioned as he blitzed Alex once more, and this time delivered a heavy right hook to his face. Alex groaned as he crash-landed onto the ground dragging up a good chunk of the concreate. "Whoops!" Damian caught the grocery bags using his strings noticing that his instant cup ramen was about to fall out. "Nearly lost my gold weekend package."

Ugh!" Blood leaked from a cut on Alex's forehead, for a human he was quite durable. That punch knocked out anyone back in Damian's bounty hunting days. "Not bad, that stung. But it is going to take more than that." Alex smiled as he playfully tapped his blade against his shoulder.

Damian hovering in the air by balancing on his strings like a spider with its web, analyzed his prey. 'That Sacred Gear, has both offensive and defensive properties. Judging by what I have seen, when he holds the blade in his right hand, he uses it for offence. And when in his left for defense.' Damian looked over to the cut open ground, it was so dark he couldn't see the bottom or hear the alarm of the cars that were swallowed up by it. To manage that with a mere swing of the blade required a lot of destructive power. 'He also used the blade earlier to suck in mine and Jack's attack on his teammate, he smashed Jack's daggers. And cut apart my strings, which are capable of withstanding magical attacks from a Maou level combatant. However, my strings are designed to negate magic attacks, not physical. So, in other words that attack was not magic based. I need to test out some theories before reaching a conclusion.'

"Well then, what is a couple of humans doing here hunting devils? You from the Church? Nah, I doubt that… after that whole peace conference I doubt the Angels would go back on their word. So, what? Stray Exorcists? Pissed that your almighty God won't let you slice up devils anymore?" Damian questioned Alex who gave a light snort.

"Yeah right, we're not some measly exorcists. And we don't follow any religion either, my only God is gold." Alex replied as he flicked an old golden pirate coin into the air. "In fact, once you devils have been disposed of. The Fallen Angels, these false Gods and the Dragons are next. We are mere humans, and we strive to evolve in order to survive in this world." Alex grabbed onto the falling gold coin, clenching it within his grasp as a symbolism of his intense grasp on these ambitions.

"If anything, we're heroes." Connla added as a giant tsunami wave of darkness exploded beneath his feet, and threatened to swallow tiny little Jack.

A shining light, pierced through Connla's shadow, Jack's body was bare without a single injury, even as she summoned forth a blade emitting holy light. "Heroes? Ambushing people doesn't sound very heroic." Damian commented from the sidelines.

"We don't strive for the simple-minded concept of heroes that today's pop culture has created. We strive to be true heroes, those who stand up for humanity against the forces of the Supernatural." Connla retorted as he changed the form of his shadows into that of blades, sending them raining down towards Jack.

Jack slashed her sword of light against the incoming shadow blades, the intense light generating a wave of light that swallowed up Connla's darkness. "Don't care." Jack coldly as in a split second she blitzed Connla, slashing the side of his abdomen with one of her daggers. Connla groaned as blood erupted from the slash wound on his abdomen. "That was your lung…" Jack commented, her razor-sharp thin blade having slashed through Connla's flesh and cut into his lung. Blood flooded in Connla's mouth, the iron taste overwhelming as he hurled it up and fell onto his knees.

"Tch! Looks like you still have ways to go Connla." Alex abandoned his fight with Damian, and went to support his injured comrade.

"You won't escape that easily." Damian while standing by had surrounded the entire area with his strings. The thin wires completely surrounding them, and visible only from the light of the moon.

"You lose, heroes." Jack commented sarcastically as she cut a single string, and thus Damian's trap was sprung. Alex groaned as the wires latched onto his wrists, his upper arms, his ankles, and finally his throat. Connla was also in the same position, although he was sweating profusely due to the slash on his abdomen, and he was losing a lot of blood really fast.

Damian's real focus was on Alex's blade, that is what he really needed to restrain. By the looks of it, it was as if Alex was Connla's instructor or something. He had let Connla attempt to make the first move, and when he was in over his head only then did Alex step in. One thing was for sure, Alex was much stronger than Connla. Damian continued to remain cautious, as Alex despite his current situation remained confident and unfaced by his predicament.

"Heh." Alex smirked as a strange distortion in the space around him began shifting, and it was centered around the top hole in his cleaver like sword. Alex with his Sacred Gear was bending space itself, the strings restraining Alex loosened up, so did the ones holding Connla, then the strings got sucked in towards Alex's blade. Before even making direct contact with the sharp blade, Damian's strings were cut to shreds. What is more, Jack and Damian themselves felt like they were getting pulled in.

"Jack, seems we need to end the warm up." Damian and Jack both looked unfaced, as they unleashed their auras. Damian's strings gathered and morphed into a gigantic spear, the strings wrapping around Damian's body taking the form of some type of armor. And as for Jack, a bright flash of darkness emitted from her body, showing her, Damian, Alex and Connla as white silhouettes. The bubble of darkness closed in and turned neon white, thus their silhouettes turned black.

"Rebellion Field." Jack's body emitted a power that changed the feeling of the wind around her, her aura intensifying, yet not causing any effect on her surroundings.

"Looks like this challenge is too rough for the newbies… Oh well, the Hero Faction sends their regards. Later, Seven Deadly Sins." Alex smirked as he dropped down some sort of ball, the ball exploded into a dust cloud. Sparkles emitted around Alex and Connla taking the form of a transportation magic circle under them. Jack and Damian both went in for the attack, Jack's body cloaked in a black aura and her eyes glowing red making her all the more menacing. While Damian emitted this intense pressure and white aura with his eyes also glowing red.

However, before they even vanished through the magic circle, a distortion of the space surrounding them swept Alex and Connla away. It was almost like a rift in the very dimension had been opened, and swallowed them up. Damian thrusted his spear into empty air, having aimed it right for Alex's shoulder in an aim to disarm him. "Hero Faction, huh?"

"We need to report this to mommy." Jack and Damian both relaxed their auras, and took a quick look around their surroundings. They needed to inform Itachi of this new Hero Faction group.

"Yeah, and we need to call Raven to fix things…" Damian stated as various light poles had been cut down, there was a crater in the ground, and a giant slash hole in the ground that had swallowed up several cars.

It was a quick report, Damian had basically told Itachi of these odd characters that tried to ambush him and Jack. And called in Raven for damage control, the entire area of the fight was quickly restored into its original state by Raven's magic. And Damian and Jack headed back to the mansion to give a full report.

"They called themselves Hero Faction, from what I could tell they were regular humans with Sacred Gears." Damian had given a full report of his and Jack's encounter, and was now awaiting to hear the thoughts of everyone else present in the room.

"Hero Faction? Azazel, does the name ring any bell?" Itachi looked to the Fallen Angel Governor who in responds sighed while rubbing the back of his neck.

"They are a sub faction that works with Khaos Brigade. All members are Sacred Gear wielders, and as the name suggests descendants of former heroes in human history. Or in some cases, just descendants of important historical figures. Did these attackers give away their last names?" Azazel looked over to Damian and Jack.

"Just one, the other only gave us his first name. The second guy, called himself Alex Teach." Upon mentioning that name both Harry and Bob flinched, both seemed to react for a different reason however. "He had a Sacred Gear in the form of a cleaver sword. From what I could tell, it had both offence and defensive properties. He seemed to switch between those properties depending on which hand he held the blade in. When he held the blade in his right hand, he used it for offence, creating some sort of powerful shockwave that tore up the entire ground like a giant sword had slashed through it. When he held it in his left, he seemed to create some sort of vortex that sucked in us and our attacks. It was capable of destroying Jack's daggers, and cut up my strings. From that I was able to tell it wasn't magic related rather a natural phenomenon. I wasn't able to figure out more, as they escaped through a teleportation magic circle."

"Hmm, I see. I know who he is, well, rather who he is related to." Azazel finished to which they all looked with anticipation.

"Edward Teach… Blackbeard." Harry Newgate spoke, being the descendant of a pirate, he knew the name all to well of the pirate all pirates fear.

"Blackbeard? The pirate that was known as the one all pirates fear?" Eto perked her head from behind a couch with some mild curiosity. She had read about the legendary pirate that terrorized the sea, who's mere appearance struck fear in men.

"Yep, and as for the Sacred Gear. It is called the Nebula Cleaver. It has the power to concentrate air flows that can generate a blade of air that has been said to slash a hole in space itself. And creating vacuums that pulls all things within a certain vicinity towards the user, where they are cut to pieces by the intense surrounding wind currents. A fearsome Sacred Gear if used correctly." Azazel seemed to revel in all of this, all these new Sacred Gears appearing truly intrigued him.

"Anything else? Did they just attack you at random?" Rias asked, they all figured there had to be a specific reason for them to attack Damian and Jack out of nowhere.

"Yeah, he said something about standing up for humanity, and defending them from the forces of the Supernatural. One thing is for sure, that Alex guy did not like Devils or Gods for that matter. He said something about pushing humans to evolve further. But… something about the encounter felt weird…" Damian squinted his eyes a bit, as he tried to think of answers himself. "It felt almost like a test. Not for us, but for the other guy who had a shadow based Sacred Gear. And I would describe this Alex as his instructor. He said that this fight seemed too much for a newbie, so he pulled the plug and they bailed."

"Hmm, the Hero Faction has actually pulled of random attacks across all the factions. Attacking territories under Devils, Angels, Fallen Angels, even attacking the Norse territories. And now they specifically target members of the Seven Deadly Sins." Azazel seemed at a loss for what the reasons behind these attacks could possibly be, but Itachi seemed to have already reached a conclusion from the information he had.

"They are all Sacred Gear wielders. They wish to stand up for humanity against the supernatural including Gods. They attack high level opponents, and fight in small groups to push themselves further against extreme odds. I think the results they want from this "test" is quite a simple one. They want to achieve a sudden change." As Itachi said that Azazel widened his eyes in realization.

"Of course… Balance Breaker. They wish to obtain Balance Breaker, and make an army of Sacred Gear wielders with Balance Breaker. That certainly would tip the scales." Azazel rubbed his chin he was troubled at hearing this news.

"I thought these heroes were supposed to fight for God, yet they seem heavily against them." Kuroka pointed out, as through history various heroic figures have declared themselves as fighting for God.

"No, I suspect it doesn't apply for all Gods. But rather those they view as false, or Gods that are harmful towards humanity." Azazel interjected, from various reports he had a good sense of the Hero Faction as a group and their ideology. "Any input, Odin-dono?" Azazel looked to the corner of the room, where the old geezer from the Norse was seated along with Rossweisse and Baraqiel.

"Hmm, depends on what one deems as a false God. A God that terrorizes humanity like those Greek fellas like Poseidon and Zeus? Or maybe us Norse who encourage people into battle for glory in death and all that? Or maybe a certain trickster God? Or destroyer Gods like Shiva from the Hindu faction? It is hard to say who they deem as their enemy or not, some in their group may even differ in views on the subject. But if you ask me, it doesn't really matter. As long as they side with Khaos Brigade, they are an enemy, that is all that matters."

"Yes, I suppose in the end that is a fact we cannot ignore." Azazel sighed as he leaned back into his chair.

"Moreover, I would like to discuss why I am here." Odin decided to change the subject.

"Here is your tea." Akeno came in with freshly brewed tea for their guests.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about me. But it seriously is huge~ So is this one~ And that one~ And that one~ And that one~ This one is rather medium, but she is skinny so still plenty to grab~ Medium~ Medium~ These three look like mosquito bites." Odin shamelessly took a look around at the breast size of the women in the room. Going from Akeno, to Rias, Kuroka, Tsubaki, Xenovia, Raven, Eto, Asia, and finally on Sona, Koneko and Jack.

"You mustn't Jack! You must restrain yourself!" Damian cried out holding back the angered little assassin wielding her daggers, ready to jump the God.

"You can't Shirone! You can't! He is a dick! But he is still a God! Onee-chan think your tiny boobs are the cutest, so please stop!" Kuroka held back Koneko who had lifted an entire sofa to toss at the old God.

Sona drew her blade looking with murderous killing intent, had it not been for Itachi holding her back. "Quick Itachi! Tell that bro-con that her tiny boobs are cute!" Kuroka advised. And just like that, Sona's killing intent was redirected. "Kya!" Kuroka squealed as she ran away from Sona's blade.

"Odin-sama!" Rossweisse harshly hit Odin over the head with a paper fan. "You can't look at them with such a perverted gaze! Two of them are the siblings of Sirzechs Lucifer and Serafall Leviathan!"

"Wow, she seriously hit the Chief of the Norse Gods with a paper fan…" Bob looked with a surprised expression, this was one amazing person for daring such a move.

"Geez, you are hard headed. Sirzechs' little sister is famous for being a beauty with a glamorous body, so it can't be helped if I end up staring at her breasts. Oh, this one here is my escort Valkyrie. Her name is-" Odin unenthusiastically was about to introduce his escort, who quickly decided to introduce herself.

"My name is Rossweisse. I will be under your care during our stay in Japan. Nice to meet you all." She introduced herself like the mature cool beauty she appeared to be.

"She is also a virgin who has never had a boyfriend in all the years she's been alive. And trust me, it's a lot of years." Odin casually commented with a smug smirk.

"T-T-That has nothing to do with this! I didn't choose not to have a boyfriend! I didn't choose to remain a virgin!" The once dignified Valkyrie fell on her knees sobbing.

"Uwah, so not dignified." Bob sweat dropped at how quickly and easily the Valkyrie broke down.

"Shut it! You muscle headed brute of a henchmen!" The sobbing Valkyrie on the floor retorted.

"Ha?! You say something I can't hear you frow down there-" In that moment Bob's body was surrounded by a puff of smoke as he deflated into his petite state. "Y-You damn… oh no." Bob spoke timidly as he looked at his small hands.

Rossweisse looked with a smug expression and burst out laughing. "So much for being a muscle headed brute, you scrawny little shrimp." Rossweisse laughed in Bob's face.

"A-At least I'm not a virgin!" The little Bob still had some fire in his tank, and it was enough to petrify the weeping Valkyrie to stone.

"Y-Y-You scrawny little brat! What are you even good for?!" Rossweisse sobbed as the two went back and forth like bickering children.

"W-W-When I wake up from my nap, I will show you!" Bob stuttered back, for some reason this spat with Rossweisse was enough to nearly make Bob in this state grow a spine.

"Wooow, sick burn dude." Eto laughed at Bob whose face turned red. "Wanna get tucked in so you can show her later little guy?" Eto continued to taunt the little petite Bob.

"Now, now, let's all calm down here." Itachi's voice carried a commanding tone as he wanted to get on with Odin's request. "Well, why is Odin here?"

"During the geezer's stay here in Japan, it's decided that we will act as his guard. Baraqiel here is a back up support member from the Fallen Angel faction. I also have been busy lately, so I only have limited times I can stay here. During then, Baraqiel here will look after you in my place."

"I look forward to working with you all." Baraqiel sat quietly and enjoyed the tea personally made by Akeno.

"That still doesn't answer why Odin is here in Japan." Itachi commented.

"Ah yeah, the deal is that he is here to create an alliance between the North and the East. He is here to have a meeting with the Japanese Shinto Gods Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi and Susano'o." Azazel revealed and Itachi looked shocked at hearing those names. He had of course been aware that these Gods existed, but he hadn't imagined he would ever get a chance to meet the Gods that shared the name of his Mangekyou abilities.

Azazel then sighed and looked to Odin. "Although, geezer, don't you think you arrived a bit early? The date of your arrival should have been a few days ahead. The deal was that during the meeting Michael and Sirzechs would be the middlemen while I sit with you at the meeting, right?"

"Yeah, about that. Our country itself is seeing some trouble you see young Azazel. There is this troublesome lad who is against my ways. I thought I should move things faster before he does something. That's why I want to discuss several things with the Japanese Gods. Until now, we've basically been unsociable with the other faction religions." Odin said as he stroked his beard, guess everyone has their own problems.

"By troublesome you don't mean the Vanir, do you? I beg you do not go and start Ragnarök." Azazel spoke in a sarcastic tone, not that the end of the world should be addressed in such a casual manner.

"I do not care about the Vanir, but rest easy Azazel boy. I have no intention of starting Ragnarök. Anyway, while we schedule a new meeting date with the Shinto Gods, I would love to go sightseeing." Odin declared with a big grin.

"Oh, where do you want to go, Odin-dono?" Azazel asked with a snarky grin.

"I would love to see those Oppai-pubs you have around here." Odin and Azazel shared a laughter of comradery.

"I sure love the way you think old man! You got good taste! Let's all go right now!" Odin and Azazel walked together with their arms around each other's shoulder. "Young girls from my faction recently opened up a place in this town for the VIP's. I will invite you there!"

"Ohoho! To be expected from Azazel-boy! You sure know your stuff! Prepare me a lot of big breasted women, I am going to grope them all!"

"Follow my lead shitty-geezer! Welcome to Japan! Do you want to untie their kimono obi? That is something you must do at least once when you are in Japan! I will show you the Japanese-style!"

"… They're like two peas in a pod, aren't they?" Itachi commented at the scene before them. "Well, have fun, I guess.

"Huh, whaddya mean? Sitri lad, you guys are coming to. You are my bodyguards after all." Odin pointed out with a stoic face causing everyone in the room to pale. All but Issei and Damian who lit up like it was Christmas morning.

Several days had passed since the arrival of the Chief God of the Norse Gods, Odin. The old man was scheduled for his meeting with the Shinto Goddess of the Sun, Amaterasu. Itachi leaned back on a comfy leather seat, they were currently in a limousine sized wagon, that was getting pulled by the eight-legged warhorse called Sleipnir. Itachi looked exhausted, mentally. They had been dragged around Japan with Odin and Azazel going to these various Oppai-pubs, since most of them were underage, they couldn't enter of course. But Damian, Harry, Bob, Rossweisse and Baraqiel did while the rest of them waited in the wagon. Every time, Damian would come back with a stupid look on his face, brag to a frustrated Issei, and get stabbed by an annoyed Jack.

In this wagon were of course Odin, his attendant the Valkyrie Rossweisse, and Azazel. Out of the "security detail" as they were labeled as for this assignment, were Itachi, Rias, Sona, Raven, Kuroka, Jack, Damian, Issei, Koneko, Akeno, Tsubaki, Asia, Gasper, and Saji. Flying around outside were Akeno's father Baraqiel, Harry, Bob, Xenovia, Kiba, Irina, and the rest of Sona's peerage acting as guards or scouts. All flying in the night sky, on their way to a holy temple up in the mountains overseen by Amaterasu.

Odin sat back laughing together with Azazel as they drank beer, clinking their mugs together in a toast. "Man, Geisha girls sure are the best! Hohoho!" Odin looked like your typical perverted old geezer, as he had a satisfied expression on his face.

"Right? I still have so many other places to show you, Odin-sama." Azazel's face was red from all the alcohol he had been drinking. Well, Azazel at least made his appearance look like it seeing as Fallen Angels can't really get drunk of human alcohol.

"Odin-sama! Please show a little concern! You've done nothing but sightseeing for days on end since we got here! And now we are even super late for out meeting with Lady Amaterasu because your face was buried in the bosom of a Geisha!" Rossweisse frantically grabs Odin by the collar and begins shaking him back and forth, as she looks like she is about to cry. "You will put shame on all of Asgard unless you lose the attitude of this being a vacation! At this rate we'll be yelled at when we return to our homeland!" For the past few days Rossweisse had been calm, as she followed through with all of Odin's wishes to go sightseeing across Japan. But it seems now that the meeting with the Shinto Gods is closing in, and with Odin's attitude the poor Valkyrie had reached her limit.

Odin looks dumbfounded as he just casually brushes Rossweisse off and lets out a deep long exhausted sigh. "Geez, you are a woman who doesn't know how to lighten up. How about you relax a little? You know, this is why you cannot even get a single boyfriend."

Rossweisse's face turns bright red as she violently starts to shake her boss back and forth. "This has nothing to do with me not having a b-bo-boyfriend! I'm not single because I want to be!" And there she goes and starts crying again. Itachi felt sorry for her, being Odin's attendant must be pretty rough. Everyone has their own difficulties in life it would seem.

The wagon then began to shake, and all the luggage filled with souvenirs for Odin fell onto all of them. Itachi could hear the pained cries of that giant horse outside. "What happened?!" Itachi looks out the window seeing they had come to a complete halt. Harry, Bob and Baraqiel stood up front in a battle stance, while Xenovia, Kiba, Tomoe, Irina all had their weapons drawn.

Itachi looked to where their gazes were all drawn to, a young man floated in the sky before the giant eight-legged warhorse blocking its path. The young man was dressed in similar garments to that of Odin, though the main color of it is black. As soon as Azazel, Odin and Rossweisse exited the wagon they all looked in shock, Azazel clicked his tongue in frustration and Rossweisse gasped with a hint of fear. Odin however, sighed with disappointment as he stroked his beard.

The young man had three blue jewels on his forehead and golden earrings. His hair was silver and long, he had bangs reaching down to his shoulders, and the back of his hair was standing up with the back moving in a wavy pattern. The glint in his eye, was filled with killer intent as he glared at Odin.

The young man smirked and talked very mightily, acting very high and superior. "Nice to meet you everyone! I am the Evil God of Northern Europe! Loki!"

"… The Norse Trickster God, huh?" Itachi was familiar with the Norse God of Mischief. As those words left Itachi's lips, most of the reincarnates looked in shock. With the Sins, Rias, Sona, Tsubaki, Akeno all looking with serious expressions as they stared down the Norse God of Mischief. Whatever Loki came here for, one thing was for certain it wasn't anything good. Itachi was already prepared for battle, holding his hand behind his back making hand signals to his peerage.

The Sins seeing their captain telling them to standby, all still cautiously readied themselves. Harry with his Sword of Pride drawn out in ablaze, Damian with his strings dancing around him, Jack with dual wielded daggers flipping around in her tiny hands, Kuroka with her senjutsu generating spheres of blue fire on her palms, Raven with her eyes glowing white ready to use any spell, and Eto with the tentacles of her kagune slithering discreetly down her back out of sight from Loki.

Azazel had his black feathered wings emerge from his back, as he casually flew closer to Loki. "If it isn't Loki-dono. To meet you in a place like this. Do you have some business with us? You do know who was in that wagon right?" Azazel casually points over to Odin, yet Loki's smirk doesn't falter and his confidence remains.

"Yes, I am aware." Loki spoke with confidence as he crossed his arms. "Our chief decided to leave us and mingle around with other factions, and that is very painful to endure."

Azazel's posture suddenly changed from relaxed, to hostile. "You are quite arrogant to say that up front, Loki." For the very first time, Itachi was seeing Azazel seething with anger.

Loki at hearing Azazel's words busts out into a fit of laughter. "Well, if it isn't the Governor of the Fallen Angels!" Loki's voice was filled with arrogance, not even recognizing Azazel as a faction leader until just now, probably from feeling the intense aura from Azazel right now. "Normally I wouldn't want to meet you or the devils, but it can't be helped. You all along with Odin shall be punished."

"Heh, so it is okay if you get into contact with other factions? Kind of contradicting yourself there Evil Norse God." Azazel smirks as he forms a gigantic spear of light bigger than a skyscraper. Azazel had his arm raised, and as he moved it down the giant light spear soared towards Loki.

"Heh." Loki smirked as he flashed a burning bright blue aura, generating a magic circle which unleashed a blast attack to counter the light spear, the two powerful attacks imploded in the sky sending shockwaves that knocked the wagon and everyone else down to the ground bellow. Itachi groaned seeing they were at the shore of a beach, everyone else seemed to be fine and escaped without any injury from that blast. Azazel then came crashing down, having been knocked down by a second blast.

Loki floated down towards them, still hovering over them, looking down on them. "It is okay as long as it is to destroy other factions. I don't agree on having peace with the likes of you. After all, it was your religion that set foot on our soil and spread the word of the bible." Loki looked with resentment, as the Christening of Scandinavia swayed a lot of followers of the Norse faith over to Christianity. Having suffered such a blow to their pride, was bound to leave some resentment amongst some of the Norse Gods.

"There is no point in saying that to me. Take it up with Michael or the deceased God of the Bible." Azazel casually dusted himself off, looking relatively fine and unharmed.

"Either way, it is a problem if our chief God, our all father, Odin, negotiates with the Gods of the far East. Then we won't be able to have our day of Ragnarök. What is it you wish to obtain by trading information regarding Yggdrasil?" Loki looks to Odin.

However, Azazel interrupts Loki's question with one of his own. "I will ask you one thing. Are your actions connected to that of Khaos Brigade?"

Loki looks revolted and disgusted at the question. "I feel sickened that you would mix my opinions with those foolish terrorists. I came here on my own will. And Ophis has nothing to do with this." Hearing this Itachi couldn't help but feel some tension leave his body, he did not want to deal with the enigma that was Ophis again just yet.

"Heh, well regardless this is still a problem of its own." Azazel smirks and looks over to Odin who is casually walking towards him. "So, this is the type of troublemakers you have at the Norse-faction, old man?" Azazel humorously asked the Chief Norse God.

"Yes, a lot of hard headed fools like this one sometimes do come out and cause trouble. I usually have Thor knock them upside their head with his hammer." Odin gave a humorous chuckle as he stroked his beard.

"Thor isn't here to help you, old man. A mistake you won't live to regret." Loki despite looking all high and mighty, seemed to have a hint of fear in his voice at mentioning the strongest champion Thunder God of the Norse. "Why mingle with lesser factions? With the God of the Bible gone, no God in any of the other factions can usurp our power. Not if you and Thor acted with the rest of us, after all no God is currently stronger than Thor." It seemed as if Loki was trying to lure Odin to his side with the promise of power.

Odin let out a tired sigh. "As much as that boy loves to fight, neither Thor nor I have any interest in waring with the Gods of other factions. It's always the same with you, that's why you are so boring. I miss the days you would just pull random pranks. At least I could tolerate you back then."

"Loki-sama!" Having had enough on standing on the sidelines, Rossweisse changed into her battle armor and stared down the Trickster God. "Your actions exceed your authority! Doing something like pointing your fangs at the Chief Norse God! This is an unforgivable act! You should make an argument at the official meeting!"

"A mere battle maiden shouldn't get in my way." Loki completely ignored Rossweisse and looked to Odin. "I'm asking Odin. Do you still intend to mingle outside of the Norse?"

"Yup! Talking to Sirzechs and Azazel is ten thousand times more interesting than talking with you. I want to talk about Japanese Shinto. And they have an interest in our Yggdrasil. After we make peace, I fully intend to exchange our cultures by sending out each of our messengers."

Hearing that Loki smirks. "I have confirmed your plans. Such a foolish act. Let us display our powers here!" A sudden chill filled the air as Loki unleashed his aura.

"So, I can take that as a declaration of battle then?" Azazel unleashed his aura to counter Loki's.

"Take it as however you want it to be." Loki is suddenly hit by a giant wave of holy energy, as Xenovia jumped in with her Durandal slashing the blade down at Loki.

"Victory typically goes to those who make the first move." Xenovia declared calmly, yet realized the ineffectiveness of her attack. "As expected of a Norse God, no effect huh?"

Loki took on the full power of Xenovia's attack, and stood there like nothing had happened. "A holy sword huh? As you are now those attacks are but a mere gentle breeze." Loki fired a beam from his fingertip, the beam pierced through Xenovia's abdomen who flinched in pain as blood gushed out from the hole left in her abdomen. Xenovia collapsed to the ground, and was caught by Issei.

"Xenovia! Asia, hurry!" Issei took the injured knight over to Asia, who frantically began healing her friend.

"That was too reckless! Xenovia!" Asia scolded, the knight who gave a light chuckle.

"Sorry…"

"Pathetic, it is too soon for any of you to be taking on a God-" Loki flinched as he felt a surging heat tickling against his neck, he ducked out of the way just in time as Harry's sword slashed over him.

"An Evil God you say? I am ecstatic." Harry elbowed Loki in the back, generating giant tremors from his Devil fruit power that sent the Norse God crashing to the sandy beach. "This is the perfect opportune moment to demonstrate just how much stronger I am. The Old Maou already fell before me, and you shall be the next to taste my blade, Evil God."

"My, how prideful. For a mere reincarnated Devil who used to be nothing more than a lowly human." Loki smirked as he glared at Harry, the Evil Norse God didn't look like he had taken any damage.

"A human I was, and still am. I am Harry Newgate, and I stand on the pinnacle of human evolution. As the Eagle Sin of Pride, I soar even over the realm of Gods." Harry's body looked to be engulfed in fire, as his blade unleashed a great amount of power.

"Heh, just when I thought the old geezer couldn't get any more prideful." Damian smirked, sweating a bit from the heat of Harry's sword.

"Ho? You think he can defeat Loki?" Odin looked to Itachi with intrigue, he had never seen a reincarnate best a God after all, it would provide him with new knowledge.

"Well seeing as I know next to nothing of Loki's power, I couldn't give you a concrete answer to what the odds are." Was Itachi's immediate reply. "However, it wouldn't surprise me if Harry beat him, as I know full well the extent of his abilities and power." Itachi smiled showing full faith in his Rook, his strongest peerage member.

"You mean we just going to sit back and watch Harry go to work?" Damian asked with his hands tucked into his pockets.

"No." Itachi vanished from the spot and jumped over Harry's large flame to which he came into view for Loki. Loki looked a bit caught off guard seeing Itachi getting into the mix. "Fire Shot." Itachi started things off with a simple fireball blasting into Loki, the fire blew up in the Norse God's face and pushed him back a few steps.

"What is it, Itachi? I have looked forward to fighting a God, you know?" Harry seemed to be pouting a little bit.

"Sorry Harry, but I thought you would like it much more to find a worthier God to fight. A lowly trickster God doesn't seem like an opponent worthy of a one-on-one match against you." Itachi knew just how to stroke Harry's prideful ego, the giant Newgate let out a huff seeming to acknowledge Itachi's words.

"You are a silver tongued one. But you are correct." Harry knew just what Itachi was doing, and he knew what Itachi really meant. 'It's too reckless to fight an opponent like this in a death match without backup.' So, Harry let it go for now.

"Hn, Seven Deadly Sins, let's get to work." Itachi and Harry were joined in with the others, as Bob, Raven, Jack, Damian and Eto all jumped in with Itachi standing up front at the center.

"Now hang on, we're not about to let you show us up like this." Rias jumped in with her own peerage, with Xenovia now fully healed.

"Luckily, we have no need for a barrier this time around this far out in the country side. There are no civilians for miles." Sona jumped in with her own peerage, flicking her glasses up and drawing out her rapier blade.

"Well, not to worry young ones." Odin tapped his spear on the sandy beach, sending out vibration waves of energy that spread out across the land. "With this the land is protected by my magic. It will take dimension level destructive power to destroy this area. Just in case~" Odin smirked. His infinite wisdom came with a lot of useful spells. "Now brawl to your hearts content."

Loki took a moment to take in the sight of Odin's guard, there were quite a lot of them. His eyes landing on Itachi, Sona and Rias. "Full blooded Devils… that pitch black hair and that insignia. And this one with the crimson red hair. House of Sitri and the house of Gremory… was it? The three of you are blood relatives of two of the current Maous. Then we have two leaders of the Fallen Angels." Loki looks to Azazel and Baraqiel. Then finally Loki's gaze falls onto Issei's gauntlet. "And to top it off you have the legendary Sekiryuutei with you. Not to mention the infamous devil peerage the Seven Deadly Sins. An Angel, and a whole lot of reincarnated devils." Loki looks to Odin. "Odin, even for a guard this is a bit going overboard wouldn't you say?"

"A fool like you ended up coming here. It turned out to be the right decision." Odin's words brought a smirk to Loki's face.

"Very well, then I will call it." Saying that Loki spreads his robes open. "Come forth! My adorable son!" Following the mighty shout of his voice, a dimensional rift is cut open. A grey furred paw stepped out from the distorted space rift, and following out was the gigantic 10-meter-tall body of an ash-grey furred wolf. The wolf growled and howled as it looked on all of them as prey.

A sudden chill filled the air at the mere presence of this wolf, followed by an intense sensation of pressure. A pressure far more intense than Loki's very own. The wolf glared at Itachi, the Sitri heir could feel the killing intent clearly coming from this wolf. Itachi flinched as he heard the sound of shaking metal, he looked to his own hand which held a kunai, seeing his own hand tremble. 'This wolf… it has to be…' Itachi could only think of one creature from the Norse mythology that could fit this wolf's description. "Fenrir." Itachi called out the wolf's name, and in responds the wolf howled to the full moon. The legendary God slaying wolf, a creature with fangs so powerful it is said to rival even the Heavenly Dragons of legend in their prime, and a creature strong enough to be considered one of the Top 10 Strongest beings in the world.

"This just went from bad to worse… Everyone, stay away from that wolf! If it comes for you just flee!" Azazel shouted a warning to everyone.

Loki laughed as he petted the wolf. "That's right. You should be careful. This is one of the top-class of the worst monsters I have ever created. After all, Fenrir's fangs can even kill a God, even Thor himself could not take him on lightly." Loki pointed his finger at Itachi, Rias and Sona. "I actually didn't want to use my Fenrir's fangs on anyone outside of the Norse. But having him taste the blood of the current Maou might be a good learning experience for him. Kill them." Loki commanded and the wolf instantly jumped into action at the three full blooded devils.

Itachi stepped before Rias and Sona, his body cloaked in his Touki aura that began to freeze into ice. Itachi was using his strongest Touki form from the get go, this just goes to show how dangerous and powerful Fenrir is. "Frost Demon Mode." Fenrir vanished from sight at godlike speed and appeared looming over Itachi with its claws out. "I won't let you touch them." Itachi declared as with a tap of his foot a massive ice spear head grew underneath Fenrir, pushing the wolf beyond the clouds and out of sight.

Itachi felt a hot tickle sensation run down his chest, seeing a scratch mark left by Fenrir's claws that had even pierced his Frost Demon armor. The front plate of Itachi's ice armor turned red from his blood. "It certainly is fast." Itachi reacted by jumping over to cover Rias's left and slammed his fist into Fenrir's face, the wolf having already slashed through his giant ice spear head, and made its way to flank them. "I told you. I won't let you touch them." Fenrir skidded back a few steps from Itachi's punch. "My eyes can see through you, mutt." Itachi's sharingan was able to keep up with the wolf, but even so Itachi had a hard time reacting to the wolf. Another slash from Fenrir's claws had scratched Itachi's right shoulder.

Sona and Rias stood there frozen in awe. A sense of dread filled their hearts. This was just like back when they were kids, and Itachi defended them from a demonic wolf in the Sitri forest. Before Fenrir could jump at Itachi again, a destruction sphere blasted into his face. It stung the beast, and even stunned him for a moment as Fenrir began shaking his head. "Never again…" Rias stepped up next to Itachi, her eyes filled with determination. She wasn't going to lay there helpless while Itachi fought off the big bad wolf.

A magic circle formed beneath Fenrir's paws, as water emerged out from it and enclosed itself around Fenrir into a bubble. "Your fangs will not touch my brother again." Sona declared as she pointed her rapier sword at the trapped Fenrir in the water prison.

Loki for the first time looked in shock. 'That Sitri boy… he kept up with Fenrir's speed? I need to eliminate him right here and now, before he becomes a threat.' Loki flicked his fingers, and in responds Fenrir let out an earth-shaking howl. The howl disrupting Sona's concentration and shattering the water prison trapping Fenrir.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Waves of darkness emerged from Fenrir's shadow, Raven floating over the wolf and ensnaring it with her magic.

'She intends to trap my Fenrir in a pocket dimension?!' Loki panicked. He would not lose his valuable son to a mere witch. Fenrir however slashed through Raven's magic, his fangs and claws too powerful to be restrained.

"Fire Quake!" Harry punched his fist to the ground, creating powerful earth quakes, his destructive power even shattering the space around Fenrir. With the ground bellow the God slaying wolf erupting into a blazing inferno of fire. "Fire Slash!" Harry swung his blade down, sending a giant slashing wave of fire that tore through the ground and split the clouds in the sky. However, Fenrir jumped out from the fire and bit into the fire slash wave.

"Grizzly Claw!" Bob in his 23-hour state jumped in and thrusted his palm forward, unleashing a powerful shockwave that clashed with the wolf, forcing Fenrir into a halt. Fenrir whined as it continued to push forward, slowly but surely the God slaying wolf stepped its paws forward, through this powerful shockwave that defeated the likes of Kokabiel.

"Lord of the Flies!" Eto flew in with her Kakuja form that easily eclipsed Fenrir in size, and out from her wings she shot crystals the size of Fenrir himself, the red blood crystals merged with the power of Shalba Beelzebub that Eto gained from consuming the Old Maou Descendants flesh. The bombardment of various elemental magic-based crystals, feeling like a rain of hail in a storm to Fenrir as the wolf only growled in annoyance.

"Senjutsu: Liquify." The ground beneath Fenrir's paws turned into mud, causing the wolf to sink into the ground. Kuroka then altered her nature manipulation, solidifying the mud into cocreate stone.

"Grand Performance!" Various strings suddenly snapped themselves around onto Fenrir's limbs, his paws, his tail and even his neck. The wolf growled and struggled like a dog on a leash. Damian knew Bob's shockwave wouldn't last long, and needed to keep Fenrir stuck in place. "Jack!" Damian called out to the little assassin.

"I know!" Jack jumped over Damian, her aim on Fenrir as she generated various dimensional portals over the wolf. "Rebellion! Beast Slayer!" Giant sized swords that were inscribed with ancient Norse texts, that looked like they could have been made by the dwarfs that crafted Mjolnir itself appeared.

"My…" Odin stroked his beard with great interest, Jack created godlike weapons just like that. "The Sins truly are a terrifying bunch."

Jack swung her arm down, sending the giant swords flying stabbing into Fenrir. The beast howled as the blades pierced its flesh. "Nice job, Jack!" Itachi held his hand out generating waves of water that enclosed themselves around Fenrir into a gigantic body of water big enough to rival that of a lake. "Sub Zero: Ice Prison!" Itachi used the enhanced ice powers he got from his Frost Demon Mode, and in an instant froze the entire lake sized water bubble with Fenrir trapped inside of it at the center.

"That was quite the teamwork." Odin was genuinely impressed at how quickly they managed to trap Fenrir. He had never seen anything like it.

Loki looked beyond infuriated. "Mere lowly devils dare lay their hands on my son?!" Loki unleashed the full brunt force of his aura. "Midgardsormr! Clones of my second son!" Coming out from various dimensional rifts, were 3, 500 meters long serpent dragons.

There was one threat after the other, although Itachi flinched as he heard a shattering sound that sounded as if a mountain had been split open. Before he could even turn around the claws of Fenrir slashed at his back. "He broke free?!" The Sins looked in awe. Fenrir pounced towards Itachi, although found itself getting blasted away by a sphere of destruction.

"Itachi!" Rias rushed over to Itachi, who was twitching in pain as the claws of Fenrir had dug deeply into his back.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven enclosed Itachi in a bubble of her dark magic, one could see smoke emit from Itachi's injuries as they began closing up.

"I should have expected as much from Fenrir…" Itachi groaned as he pushed himself back up.

"Fuahahaha!" Loki cackled as the clones of the Dragon King Midgardsormr surrounded him, and Fenrir stood at the center front snarling its fangs at them. "My creations are far too powerful for the likes of you! Even with two Fallen Angel leaders and that retired old geezer! You lot don't stand a chance!"

"Hold on there… I may be old and past my prime." Odin spun his spear, and moving along with the spear, various types of magic danced around him. "But I'm still young enough to kick your scrawny butt."

"Sit down and have some mead you old fool. In case you've forgotten even in your prime Fenrir was still a threat to you! As you are now, you don't stand a chance." Loki taunted Odin, Loki bawled out in a taunting laughter. "Fuahahahaha-!" Loki stopped laughing as suddenly a splash of sea water his face. Loki halted for a moment, seeing the sea looking unruly and rising into giant waves that clashed against the shore. 'Odd…' Before Loki could finish his train of thought, a flash of light stung his eyes.

Azazel and Baraqiel jumped in and bombarded Loki with holy light spears, and holy thunder and lightning. Loki smirks and lifts his dominant arm, forming a magic circle with Norse equations that easily blocks out the full power output of Azazel and Baraqiel's bombardment. "Without Fenrir, the two of you are still no match for me." Loki taunted them. "Only a God can stand against another God you bunch of fools! And the only one you have is this senile old fool!"

The waves of the ocean around the beach began clashing violently into the shore. Loki himself looked shocked at the sudden change in the weather, feeling the salty sea water splashing against his skin. Thunder bolts rained down from the heavens, as if Thor himself had arrived. The mere thought had Loki feeling a cold sweat run down his neck. "Is this your doing Fallen Angel?!" Loki looked to Baraqiel.

"No…" Baraqiel looked just as shocked as everyone else. Surely the presence of Fenrir couldn't be causing such a storm.

Issei and Asia backed up as a giant wave nearly swallowed them up, and dragged them out to the sea. "What's going on? A typhoon?" Issei held onto Asia, in his Balance Breaker armor as his booster ignitions he took Asia away from the raging waters.

'This sensation… Itachi?' Rias couldn't help but feel as if this new presence she felt was similar to that of Itachi. But Itachi was right next to her and looked to be just as confused as the rest. 'No, it's not identical to his… but feels like a part of him…'

The sound of footsteps coming closer to them, attracted everyone's attention. A rough looking man dressed in a messy blue yukata that looked as if he had put it on in a rush, with the front a bit open revealing his six-pack and chest. Wrapped around his waist was a white snake skin belt that held a sheeted katana sword. The man had long wild brown hair tied up into a high ponytail, a stubbled beard, brown gentle looking eyes. His face looked a little thin and his expression gentle and weak, in fact Itachi would describe this man as sickly looking.

"Hello, Azazel… you guys were quite late for the meeting so I decided to check in and see why you hadn't arrived. Big sis is rather impatient you see." The storm was centered around this sickly-looking man, the heavens rained down with thunder and winds so strong they could blow down forests. The sea was raging around him with intense waves, what is more this man was walking on those raging sea waves.

"Oh, what big doggy." The man greeted the snarling Fenrir with a calm and gentle smile. "And those dragons… ah they sure take me back." The man stroked the white snake skin belt around his waist.

"Who are you?" Loki snarled, looking a bit cautious as this man's presence without a doubt was the source of this calamity.

"Ah, do forgive my rudeness for not introducing myself." The man apologetically bowed, he lifted his head and still had that gentle and casual looking smile on his face. "I am Susano'o, the Storm God of the Shinto Faction." He greets the group with a cheerful relaxed expression.

Loki hearing this, smirks devilishly. And thus ignores the presence of everyone else. "A God of the East, eh? I am the Evil God of the Norse, Loki."

"My, it's a pleasure." Susano'o casually greeted with a gentle smile. "But may I ask, what this is about? Seems like you are picking on Azazel and his group."

"It's quite simple, I just feel disheartened that our chief God wants to mingle with other worthless factions. Nothing else to it." At hearing this Susano'o widened his eyes a bit.

"My, that does sound serious." Susano'o rubbed his chin. "Why don't we sit down and discuss this over some tea? I happen to know a delicious green tea blend that is out of this world." Susano'o and his mannerism, his laid back and relaxed attitude made it hard for many to believe he was a God.

'This guy… is the storm God of Japanese Shinto?' Issei thought looking perplexed. 'He looks like a good for nothing bum. Totally not refined.'

"Are you mocking me?" Loki questioned with a raised brow, perplexed at Susano'o and his mannerisms as well.

"Not at all, I just think you seem stressed that you could do good with some relaxing tea. Your hair is standing up like crazy you know. Oh, how about I also make us a pot of curry? I am certain it would be like nothing you have ever tasted before. Some good curry and tea will do wonders for your nerves." Susano'o casually or unknowingly insulted Loki and his hair style.

"You dare speak to me like this? Even if you are a fellow God, a mere God of the East cannot best a God of the North." Loki unleashed a threatening bloodlust.

"Oh dear, you have quite the temper, huh?"

"Heh, that is more than I can say for you. So called "Storm God". Your completely relaxed nature, and lack of bloodlust. You must be quite the failure of a Storm God, I thought you Storm Gods were known for your rage and destructive power. But, I guess you just are a failure after all, it cannot be helped." Loki taunts Susano'o for his relaxed composure.

"Well, I just outgrew my childish tantrums is all." Susano'o despite Loki's taunts looks with a calm and relaxed smile. Susano'o puts his hand on the handle of his katana. "It would seem talking things out is out of the question with you… so I guess I have no choice. I don't tolerate bullies you see." Susano'o draws his blade out, the shining metal looking freshly made, so clean and clear it reflected the light of the full moon.

The thunder, the stormy winds and raging waters only intensify in its rage and fury the moment the Storm God draws his blade, such is befitting for a Storm God after all. But, the moment the tip of the Storm God's katana touches the raging water, the sound of a bell echoes around them and the raging water turns still and calm. The intense winds turn into a calm and gentle breeze, and the thunder clouds clear away revealing the starry skies above.

Loki's ears along with the rest, are filled with the sound of vibrating metal that emits from the Storm God's blade. Loki noticed however, despite Susano'o continuing to bear his calm expression and smile on his face. The feeling of the air around Susano'o and his aura had changed.

What followed was a long calming silence, even Fenrir and the clones of the Midgardsormr had seized their snarling and hissing. The tension filled the air, Itachi could only describe this as the calm before the storm.

Neither Loki or Susano'o make a move, as if they are both waiting for the other to attack. Loki looking more wary than anything because of this sudden change of the aura around Susano'o. Susano'o however continues to look at Loki with those gentle and calm eyes, no bloodlust in sight.

Loki felt a cold trail of sweat drip from his brow. He was sweating? This God of the East was making him sweat? No, Loki refused to acknowledge the threatening image of a God from another faction. "Kill him!" Loki sent his Midgardsormr clones at Susano'o, the hissing dragon like snakes soaring their heads with their fangs ready to devour the Storm Shinto God.

The sickly-looking Storm God exhales his breath, to which flickers of lightning crackles between his teeth. His eyes flash pure white, and in a split second following the flashing roaring strike of a thunder bolt, the three 500 meters long dragon serpents are cut into thousands of pieces.

Itachi looks in awe, even with his sharingan he lost count after the 100th slice dealt to the first dragon serpent. In that instant, at godlike speed Susano'o had closed in the gap between himself and Loki. Loki felt a cold sweat run down his back as the once gentle eyes of Susano'o now looked fierce and strong. Susano'o swings his blade towards Loki's neck, aiming to end this battle quickly.

Loki manages to duck away from the swing of the blade. A mere swing of his blade, Susano'o made the thunder clap, and from the sheer force of his swing mountain tops in the distance were cut down from the shockwave alone. As Susano'o moves with his blade, giant storms of wind dances with his blade to attack this Norse Trickster God.

Having avoided the slash of Susano'o, Loki turned around seeing Susano'o having landed on the sandy beach behind him. Lightning continues to crackle from between his teeth, as he lets out a long exhale of his breathe. "Fenrir!" Loki calls forth his strongest child, the giant wolf jumps at the Storm God, ready to slay it with his mighty fangs.

Susano'o turns around to face Fenrir, holding his hand out towards the 10-meter-tall wolf. Fenrir howls, although then suddenly halts. The gentle hand of Susano'o is nuzzling against Fenrir's snout. "There, there, who's a good boy?" Susano'o and his gentle gaze meets the perplexed gaze of Fenrir. Susano'o proceeds to casually pat the God slaying wolf, reaching up to scratch him behind the ear. Fenrir let out small happy sounds, as it began huffing with its tongue hanging out. The giant wolf sat down, and tapped his right backfoot on the ground as a result of Susano'o scratching him behind the ear. "Good boy." Susano'o with his relaxing tone of voice, calmed and tamed the wild Fenrir as he proceeded to scratch the wolf under his chin, giving him light pats.

"Fenrir!" Loki roared at his child, the wolf responded with shaking his head, knocking away the gentle hand of Susano'o. The wolf returned to being hostile, growling and snarling at the Storm God.

"Dogs usually reflect their owners, you know? Poor guy, I feel sorry for him." Susano'o reached into his yukata, pulling out a fish. "Fetch boy." Susano'o tossed the fish into the air, watching as Fenrir jumped to snatch the fish into his fangs. "Good boy." Susano'o praised the God slaying wolf.

"Fenrir! I am your father! I command you to kill him!" Loki ordered.

Fenrir lowered his ears, letting out small whimpers as he looked between his father and Susano'o. "Y-You don't want to fight him?!" Loki twitches his eyes at this outrage, this Storm God of the East managed to bond with Fenrir just like that?! "Fine! I will fight him, take care of the rest and Odin! You won't have a problem with that right?!"

At this Fenrir seemed to nod his head, and turned its attention to Itachi and the rest, snarling and showing its teeth. Loki let out an exhausted sigh as he levitated down to face Susano'o. "I don't know how you did it, but I suppose any monster can be tamed."

"My, calling your own son a monster is quite harsh. I would never refer to my sons as such. Knuckleheads maybe, but monsters? No." Susano'o readied himself with his katana. "Now then, done sending your creations at me? Going to fight me yourself for once?"

"You lousy Storm God!" Loki roars and fires off various attacks of different natures and forms, the power of Norse Magic is something else. A magic more advanced than that of those from the God of the Bible's faction.

"Heheh, thank you for the compliment." Susano'o brushes it off with a light hearted laughter, as he moves with his blade generating a giant hurricane that danced along with his blade. The giant hurricane was mixed in with water from the sea, and thunder from the heavens, Susano'o swung his blade sideways creating a defensive wall to hold off Loki's assault.

Thousands upon thousands of balls of light form around Loki. "Bow down, and be crushed!" Loki unleashed a raining bombardment of magic rays that spread across the entire beach.

"This is crazy!" Saji jumped around with the rest of Sona's peerage avoiding the bombardment of Loki's attack, while trying to aid in holding off Fenrir.

"Shit! Hang on, Asia!" Issei said, as he ignited the boosters of his Balance Breaker while carrying Asia in his arms dodging and weaving from Loki's bombardment.

"I shall respond in kind!" Rossweisse created various magic circles and unleashed a counter bombardment of various types of Norse spells, it looked like a big flashing light show as she unleashed various attacks to counter Loki's.

Susano'o jumped around as he slashed various of Loki's attacks in two. Suddenly an illuminating light shines down from the full moon, forming into a small mirror of light before Susano'o, showing an image of his brother Tsukuyomi. "Ah, Tsukuyomi what's up?" Susano'o greets his elder brother with a cheeky grin.

"Where are you?! Onee-sama is infuriated at having to wait for your arrival!" Tsukuyomi scolds him from the illuminating mirror.

Susano'o looks with an awkward smile as he scratches his cheek. "Yeah, about that… I'm kinda busy." Whoa! Whoa!" Susano'o backed up slashing at various magic attacks that came his way. The light mirror just followed him, showing an infuriated and frustrated Tsukuyomi.

"Don't tell me… are you going after the Trickster Norse Gods?! Onee-sama forbid you from doing so! Do you wish to start a war between us and the Norse?!" Tsukuyomi said implying that he and Amaterasu were aware of Loki's interference much sooner than Odin was. In responds to his older brother's rant, Susano'o cackles.

"It's fine! It's fine! I'm just helping some kids fight a big bully! Besides it's kinda too late to turn back now. Seeing as I am already fighting him." Susano'o sent a thunder bolt raining onto Loki, who blocked it off with a magic circle.

At hearing this Tsukuyomi pales into the shade of the moon itself. "Y-You've already engaged him in combat?!" Then suddenly Tsukuyomi's voice is overshadowed by the furious shouts of Amaterasu in the background.

"He's already what?! That lousy bum! I'm going to-!"

"Man, sis sounds mad. I don't think I'll go home straight away. Let me know when she cools down, thanks bro!" Susano'o hangs up by slashing the mirror image of Tsukuyomi before Tsukuyomi can even begin to retort.

Fenrir in the meantime was tearing through the attacks of everyone, he even snuffed out Rias' destruction spheres by biting into them. Slashed at Sona's water dragons, and with his claw parried against Tsubaki as she tried to slash him with her Naginata. A swing of his tail creating pressures of wind that blew down Tomeo and Irina as they tried to flank the beast.

Fenrir ravages through the battlefield, and going for the biggest threat present to him, Itachi. Itachi stands ready, but Fenrir's speed is too great as it jumps him and sinks it fangs into him. Itachi remains motionless, and suddenly erupts into a brilliant explosion that sent Fenrir flying. "Hydrogenic Bomb Clone." The real Itachi appeared out from the shadows, breathing a little heavily as his fingers were starting to suffer frost bite as a side effect of his Frost Demon Mode.

Fenrir had shaken off the explosion like it was nothing, this monster seemed nearly indestructible. Fenrir could not be stopped he powered through any attack they threw at him, and now he nearly pounced himself on Itachi. 'Good focus on me.' Itachi tried to catch the beast's gaze with his eyes, he could possibly loosen Loki's control over the beast.

But shockingly Fenrir avoided direct eye contact as if it knew what Itachi was plotting, and instead unleashed another earth-shattering howl. The howl creating sound vibrations that left Itachi's body feeling numb, he was stunned for a moment and could not move. It was all Fenrir needed as he jumped towards Itachi. Itachi braced for impact, trying to think of a quick way to avoid a lethal wound from the beast.

But then, a bright shining light soared past him and clashed into Fenrir. "Half Dimension!" The space distorted itself around Fenrir, sealing his movement and forcing the monster into a halt. But it only lasted a moment, as Fenrir with his fangs tore through the distorted space. A white silver thing descends down upon Fenrir, crashing into its back. "Divide!"

"Itachi Sitri, are you okay?" It was Vali Lucifer, having arrived in his Balance Breaker armor.

"I'm fine, but you might want to duck." Itachi warned and Vali didn't waste any time, and did just that as Itachi unleashed a gigantic water dragon made from the nearby ocean, clashing it into Fenrir and knocking him away.

"Kakaka! Nice save!" A staff expanded into Fenrir, pushing the monster further away, as arriving on a golden cloud was Bikou.

"My, even the Hakuryuukou decided to arrive." Susano'o seemed nonchalant about the new arrivals. Loki however frowned as this was starting to get more troublesome.

"How do you do Evil Norse God Loki-dono. I am Vali Lucifer, the Hakuryuukou. And I have come to eliminate you." Hearing Vali's declaration of war, Loki smirks and floats away from Susano'o and towards Fenrir, standing next to his loyal son.

"Itachi Sitri, The Seven Deadly Sins, the Storm Shinto God Susano'o, Odin, and now even the notorious Hakuryuukou who shares the blood of the original Lucifer. I am satisfied for today. I shall retreat for now." Loki turns his robe as a big distortion of the space surrounds him and Fenrir, but before disappearing Loki left a few parting words. "But mark my words, on the day of the meeting with the Gods of this country! I will come once again! Odin! Next time, Fenrir and I will definitely tear the Chief-God's throat!"

"My, quite the hard headed fella there, huh?" Susano'o cackled as Loki was gone, he sheeted his sword. Susano'o greeted the lot of them with a friendly smile. "It is a pleasure to meet you all, I am Susano'o. With all of this, I am afraid however the meeting will have to be… rescheduled just a bit."

"That is fine, gives me more time for sightseeing." Odin didn't seem to mind.

"Oh, I think I know some wonderful places for you to visit." Susano'o and Odin began chatting like they were old friends despite this being their very first-time meeting face to face.

"Oh, any big breasted ladies?" Odin looked with intrigue.

"Ahaha, I was thinking more around the lines of nature walks. I am a man loyal to his wife, so I cannot join that type of sightseeing I am afraid." Susano'o politely turned down Odin's idea of sightseeing.

"Ah, a married man, eh? I can respect that." Odin gave a light chuckle.

Susano'o then however diverts his attention over to Itachi, as he is walking towards the Sitri heir Azazel steps between them. "Is there a problem Governor?" Susano'o asked with a gentle smile.

"No, just wanted to personally thank you for stepping in against Loki. You won't get in too much trouble with your sister for disobeying her orders, right?" Azazel casually asked, when in reality he had a good idea why Susano'o wanted to talk to Itachi. Azazel however wasn't sure what kind of intentions the Storm God had with the Devil child that shared some of his own, his parents and siblings' power.

"I can handle Amaterasu, now, if you would excuse me. I would like to thank the young ones for fighting so bravely." Susano'o walked past Azazel and came face to face with Itachi. Itachi couldn't help but be a little in awe, this God shared the same name as his past life's strongest Mangekyou ability. "My dear boy, you are Itachi Sitri correct? I saw your Rating Game recently. It was quite the battle." Susano'o praised Itachi.

"Ehm, thank you, Susano'o-dono." Itachi bowed to the Storm God. Itachi felt this relaxing calming air around the God. Itachi couldn't quite describe it, but he felt safe in the presence of this God. Susano'o wasn't quite how Itachi expected him to be, he looked so gentle and sickly-looking, he was rather thin and skinny, yet at the same time he had good muscles.

"All of you were quite brave to stick around and face Fenrir. That is a beast even I wouldn't face in a death match. Luckily, I know how to treat dogies." Susano'o gave a sly wink seeing as how he tamed the monster wolf earlier. "Now then… the Two Heavenly Dragons are in my presence. It is quite an honor." Susano'o looked over to Issei and Vali who were giving each other the stink eye.

"What are you doing here Vali?" Issei didn't completely hate Vali, seeing as Vali and his friends did rescue Asia after Shalba teleported her into the Dimensional Gap. But Issei of course didn't hold much trust in Vali considering the history their groups share by now.

"I just saved you lot from Fenrir, and that is all you have to say?" Vali had a smug expression on his face as he talked down to Issei. "Odin and the Shinto Gods can't have their meeting if Loki interferes right? Even with all of you, you wouldn't be able to take down Loki and Fenrir. And you wouldn't be able to get any backup with all these recent attacks the Hero Faction has carried out on the Underworld, Heaven and Valhalla." No one could deny Vali's words, these Hero Faction members were becoming a problem for the Factions.

"So, what you are saying you will take him down?" Issei asked but Vali shrugged.

"As much as I hate to admit it, even with my team we wouldn't stand a chance against Loki and Fenrir. But it is a different story if we joined forces." At hearing Vali's suggestion all the Devils present had a look of disbelief. "For this battle, I wouldn't mind fighting alongside you Itachi Sitri, and you Hyoudou Issei."

"… I agree." Itachi's responds further shocked the group. "In fact, your ability will be our key to subduing Fenrir. With you halving its power, it would be easier for us to take it down." At hearing Itachi's explanation none could deny that Vali would be a perfect ally against the monstrous God Slaying Wolf.

"I knew you would agree." Vali smirks, and then steps up closer to Itachi staring him down. "But don't get me wrong, I still want a rematch against you. Itachi Sitri."

"Once we've dealt with Fenrir and Loki, just name the time and place." Itachi stared right back with his sharingan glowing in an intimidating red glow.

"Wonderful, looks like we're in agreement." Susano'o stepped right between Itachi and Vali, and wrapped his arms around both their necks. "Of course, you lot will have my help as well. If it is okay with you, Chief-God of the Norse?" Susano'o looked to Odin, as he was basically announcing he was going after the head of one of Odin's own.

"That stubborn fool turned his fangs on me, you don't need my permission to deal with him. But, if possible, I would like him back alive. I will also help you by giving you a gift that might be useful for this battle." Odin declared with a mischievous grin on his face. And thus, the planning began for how to take down Loki, and the mighty Fenrir.

That's the end for now!

Hey everyone! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I do apologize for taking this long to update this story. But I was caught up with a lot of things in life, it is what it is.

Anyway, I will keep it brief. I would like to thank you all for this year, you guys have showed a ton of support and it is awesome, you guys are awesome. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year.

Do make sure to leave a review!

-Later!

(Responds to reviews):

holyx23: Thanks, and Itachi will get his Mangekyou in the Hero Faction Kyoto arc.

Dasgun: .-.

Mr. Haziq: Well, yeah I sort of felt Amaterasu is a proudful Goddess if anything, and I think she is just taking precautions when it comes to Itachi. After all, as stated previously in this story, Itachi should have died if anyone put divine energy in his devil body.

plums: Here is the thing, it's not really cheating since in a Rating Game quote on quote anything can happen. The devil council did this so they could just brush it off later by saying, "Oh it was just a test to see if the young ones had polished on their weaknesses." Which in the Sins case is not causing a lot of destruction. And the various Gods just don't say anything because for one, none of theirs are competing in this tournament so they themselves don't have anything to lose. And they are pretty much just there to see and enjoy these young devils battle it out. So, I doubt the Gods will get involved in Devil affairs. Although, that's not to say it won't have any consequences later on from Sirzechs and the rest. That may still happen.

velnair341: Thanks! And no, the original arcs are not planned until after Itachi has unlocked his Mangekyou Sharingan. So, they won't happen in-between things. I have them planned to happen after the Rating Game tournament is over. And as you can probably tell, one of those arcs were teased a bit in this chapter.

Ainz227: Thank you! The thing is they can't really disqualify Itachi because they don't like him. He is a pure-blooded devil, and the younger brother of a Maou so the council feel like they would lose face if the disqualified him without reason. However, they can still play the rules of the Rating Game to their advantage which they did here. Although it seems Lord Bael has forbidden them from interfering with Itachi and Sairaorg's future Rating Game. Also, *tips fedora I hope you enjoy the spicy sauce I had in this chapter XD.

SolSparda369: Itachi is a tough competitor, but I feel his next match may be the toughest for him yet. Sairaorg is way different from what he was in the original cannon timeline by now, thanks to Itachi.

g0dgr1d: In all fairness, the elders didn't know who they were really dealing with XD. The Shinto Gods will definitely have their reactions to his abilities, oh man I can't wait to write that in the future.

phillyitalian: Maybe not an omake, but I could definitely see them meeting in future chapters.

Arclight001: Yes, the Uchiha clan are descendants of Narutoverse Indra. But that Indra is just a mere person who happens to share the same name, as the God Indra from Hinduism. So, I hadn't really planned for Itachi and the God Indra to be related, but there is some plot brewing there, just not of them being related by blood.

fallendemon248: Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.

andresskorskiruiz: Glad you liked it, I like Eto as well so there are bound to be stuff happening with them in the future XD. For now, I would say Amaterasu feels just plain curiosity of Itachi's origin. Maybe she even wonders if Itachi is secretly one of her brothers' bastard son.

Ilikefanfics42: Yeah, I agree that Itachi and Kuroka are a good fit, I mean if you reached this chapter, you can see why. But as for Rias, I don't know it's just something in my heart bro, the first fanfic I read was an Itachi x Rias fic and I just liked the pairing ever since. I don't know what else to say about it. Also, clearly by now if you have reached this far you can tell there is more going on with the whole Izumi thing.

Swamps637: Sorry for taking this long, I will continue to try to update faster.

dragon ghoul9707: Rizevim and Madara are basically complete opposites. Madara's intentions were to create peace, he just went the wrong way about it. Rizevim just wants to continue the war for the sake of it. And yeah, Issei needs way more training if he wishes to fight Vali one on one. Trihexa and Trigon, two frightening beings. Maybe they can fight for eternity like Trigon did with Darkseid during Justice League Dark: Apokolips War.

brandon dragon9707: Vali desires to get stronger than his own grandfather, so he pushes himself against challenging opponents like Itachi. Which is why he was so disappointed with Issei as his rival of destiny. Maybe once Itachi trains Issei, and maybe with the upcoming Loki battle Vali will see some worth in Issei as a future opponent.

brandon lopez7797: That is a good suggestion for Issei's harem. Itachi and Tannin training Issei together… Itachi lays out random deadly traps on a racecourse while Tannin blasts Issei from above with fireballs. Yeah, hell is good description of that training regimen. Itachi could also help with dragon control using his illusions to prepare Issei mentally for the transformation. I feel Ravel will join the team, and still form a rivalry with Koneko like she did in cannon. Rias has grown quite powerful in this fic, and is getting more independent as time goes on as Itachi has helped her grow as a leader and a person.

Bashleyz: Thanks! And no Grayfia is not in Itachi's harem, she is for Sirzechs only I hated it when they forced Grayfia and Issei together.

Random: Yeah, fair enough. Sona will have a different kind of mutation though.

DarkReaderSeiin: Thanks! I have big plans for Itachi's fight with Sairaorg. But I have also planned for Rias vs Sona to be good as well.

RazerGamer501: Thanks! I appreciate that you are patient. I appreciate all of my readers.

ol-11jrw: Thanks! Nice that you noticed the comparison to Meliodas vs Mael.

Guest: Eto's Kakuja rivals Issei and Vali's Juggernaut Drive in size at normal state, but Eto can grow it to greater lengths but it handicaps her speed if she does. She is currently writing one as we see in this chapter. If Eto got a bite from Itachi she would become a beast, if she bit Raven she would probably lose control from all the power.

ObeRun: Sorry to hear that you feel that way. Anyway, thank you for reading the story as far as you did.

Guest: Oh I have big plans for Itachi vs Sairaorg, it won't be an easy battle for either of the contestants.

Julyus27: Thanks! Glad you find it interesting.

Sento Uzumaki: I can't say with certainty that I will reboot From Ninja to Saiyan. But so far I have no plans for it.

Haruka004: Not a big fan of YU-GI-OH if am being honest, so sorry can't do it.

handwran: I am glad you have enjoyed the story so far, but sorry no Serafall or Sona in Itachi's harem. And to be honest, Bob and Rossweisse with the whole switch thing, might actually be possible, but why you gotta put that image in my head bro XD And no, I am not trying to be political about Jack being made up out of the souls of ten thousand aborted children. But that is what Jack from the Fate series is, and it is a dark origin story true.

Guest: Uh, sorry not sure I fully understand what you mean by this.

mcmanusjustin369: I can understand why you and many others think that it would have been better for Itachi awakening the EMS during the Trigon battle. But not only did I feel it was too soon, it also kind of felt too predictable at the time. Plus, I liked what I have originally planned for how he awakens it during the Hero Faction arc better.

Guest: That would be cool, if Itachi was able to manipulate the Ph levels into creating acid. I will take a note of that for later.

Guest: Would be cool, but I already decided on Greed so sorry.

Guest: Yes, they should encourage him, but at the same time Itachi is how should I put this… Socially awkward and an introvert, it's going to take some convincing, besides he expresses his desire for getting into bed with some of the ladies, but he just sometimes feels there are more important matters to attend to. I can say this though, won't be long before we reach a point where Itachi crosses the line with some of the girls now.

Guest: Thank you for the praise. And your idea sounds interesting, I can't promise anything about making a story about Karna and Arjuna. But I can maybe use it for this one, I will give it some thought anyway.

XxWildHeartXIIIxX: Thanks! And I can understand some moments, but Harry is mostly based of Whitebeard with some Escanor elements mixed in to get the Pride in. Bob is kind of based on Escanor power and ability wise, and some of his fights are inspired by Escanor's fights, and his buff state is a mix of Escanor and that of Gintoki from Gintama seeing as Bob is supposed to be lazy. His petite state is based mostly on Zenitsu from Demon Slayer.

Guest: Eto hasn't directly tried to bite anyone in the group yet, but she might in the future if there is a need for it.

Kakarotssj: Glad you enjoyed it, well he has meet one Shinto God so far.

Guest: I think that as well, there will be more interactions between Eto and Raven in the future.

thebestofall: Yeah, Itachi and Sairaorg's relationship was based of Kakashi and Guy not gonna lie there XD.

JohnDune21: Thanks! I will definitely try to tell the story from their pov sometimes.

Guest: Sorry for the long wait.

balut76: That is a problem in basic shonen anime, I will agree with you on that. Although in the recent chapter I would say Itachi won due to planning, creativity and foresight. He also did get quite creative against Raiser. Maybe I haven't done my best to show it in most fights I will admit that.

SarmelAC: That is true, but Itachi is trying to correct the mistakes he did with Sasuke and trying to be a better brother to Sona.

Guest: Sorry for the long wait.

AncientReaver: Maybe she is, maybe she is not.

moose master5543: Itachi will unlock Mangekyou Sharingan before his semifinal match against Sairaorg. Although Itachi may not have to go through seeing a loved one die this time, since his spirit kind of has the Mangekyou due to his past life, and the being that resurrected Itachi already gave him Sasuke's old eyes so when it awakens this time it will be the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. He will require to go through something emotional to awaken it though, just maybe not someone dying.

Unknown Guest: Ah shit, you are right that was a missed opportunity. Oh well, nothing I can do about it now.

Ryan: Yes, I am.

Guest: Sorry for the long wait.

Kasukager: Yes I do, I made a mistake early on but basically Narutoverse chakra is not the same as DxDverse which works more like nature energy like Sage Mode type.

Guest: Yes, I love this story myself, so yes I will continue.

Daniel Cibrian: Sorry for the long wait.

Guest: Sorry for making you wait long, but as for why I updated Demon Eyes of Fairy Tail for a bit there. It is closer to being finished so I am inspired to write it atm. So sorry, but I write what I feel like.

Guest: Sorry for the long wait.

Guest: Thanks!

Aisalf: Yes it is, since Thor didn't have a basic design from DXD, I decided to use the Thor from Record of Ragnarök.
