A/N Thanks for all the support on the last chapter, to everyone who has been here from the start I owe a lot of thanks and credit to you for the success of this story. I am pleased to announce that this story has received over 100 reviews in its short time period that it has existed.

Also I want your suggestions on who Issei should include in his peerage I already have five confirmed members (Including Issei) but I wanted to give you the opportunity to have your say, as your opinion is just as valuable to me as mine.

So without further a due let's begin chapter 16.

Setting into the embrace of the mountains that surrounded Kuoh the warm glow of the sun was replaced by tint of fiery orange that enveloped the sky. Shadows of the young and old were drawn out to there furtherest degree creating the once peaceful town to be once again owned by the supernatural world.

Standing in front of a brown door guarded by yellow warning tape, the ORC was eager to meet this new bishop that they had heard about since last night. As Rias stood forwards sweat began to ran down her back.

"Am I ready yet, I couldn't before" Rias thought to herself as Akeno walked up behind her.

"Thats where the other bishop is" Asia asked as she looked upon the crimson teen unsure on what they were doing here and what was the deal with the door being sealed.

"Last night my brother insisted I release this seal and let the other bishop walk free, Im not sure why but the bishop refused the offer" Rias said as she began to explain what was the reason why they were standing there.

"So it's a shut in then" Issei said unsure on how they were going to proceed.

"It is a shame he was the largest contract earner that we had" Akeno said shocking Vali.

"What do you mean" Vali said as she became clearly shocked at the current predicament.

"The bishop used special contracts made from a computer to create them" Kiba explained as he looked towards the door.

"Is that possible" Xenovia said shocked due to her never hearing about this type of contract making.

Looking up Issei noticed that Rias had begun to destroy the seal that was placed over the door. Placing her hand over the door Rias fired a small amount of demonic energy into the triangle seal shattering it.

"Rias sama if this bishop is so strong how did you destroy the seal so easily" Asia said as she looked up towards her king.

"Because the seal was programmed too activate on mine or my brothers command only" Rias said as she grabbed hold off the door handles.

Pushing the doors open Rias and the rest of the ORC entered the room. On arrival Issei was surprised on how clean and dark the room was, continuing to look around Issei noticed that the room had a lot of feminine features in it, apart form the dark floors most of the room was either pink or white. While Issei was looking around the room Rias walked up to the bed and began to speak.

"Hello, you're looking well" Rias said as a whine was heard coming from the bed which much to Issei surprise was actually a coffin.

As Akeno began to open the coffin, small whines continued to come from the box. Removing the last of the three layers and placing them next to the bed Akeno stood up and returned to her spot standing next to Issei.

Looking into the box Asia, Xenovia and Vali were all surprised at what they saw. Laying on the pink fabric that laced the centre of the box laid a small blonde girl with pointed ears. Looking closer Vali noticed that the girl was even shorter than Koneko had pointed ears and what appeared to be fangs.

"So the bishop is a pretty blonde girl then" Vali said as Issei began to giggle.

"What are you laughing at Issei" Vali said as she looked at her king confused.

"The child is a boy" Rias said shocking the three new members of the ORC.

"What" Asia said equally confused as the newer members of the group.

"I have realised that the child may look like a little girl but he is most defiantly a little boy" Rias said as she looked at the young bishop.

"And as you may have noticed the child does like to dress up as a girl" Akeno said as she giggled.

"And I suppose that you and Rias had nothing to do with it" Issei said sarcastically knowing full well that the two did.

"Maybe" Akeno replied as Rias hugged the young boy.

"Everybody I would like you to meet Gasper Valdi, The other bishop in my house hold and a first year student here. And before I had the opportunity to turn him into a devil, Gasper here was a half human half Vampire" Rias said as Vali and the other two newer members.

"A vampire" Asia said shocked.

"Like the blood suckers" Xenovia added as the light reflect of the small boys fangs.

Turning on the lights Rias began to introduce all the new faces to Gasper. As Rias finished introducing the new faces Gasper was both frightened and amazed at the new people in the room.

"So do you want to come outside now" Rias said as Gasper turned around trying to hide.

"No it's too scary out there" Gasper said trying to keep himself in the room.

"Come on you heard the lady" Issei said grabbing his arm as everyone was instantly stopped.

As everyone was frozen in place Gasper realised himself from Issei's grasp and ran to the other side of the room as Issei smiled shocking Gasper. Arriving at the other side of the room everyone began to move again.

"What just happened" Asia said looking around trying to find the missing bishop.

"Im sorry, I know your mad but please don't punish me" Gasper said as he began to weep in the corner.

"Mad I'm not mad, I know Im not your master but that was pretty cool, Forbidden Balor View hey" Issei said as he walked up to Gasper, as Issei continued to walk up to Gasper who was shocked about the knowledge of his powers.

"Issei how did you know that" Rias said shocked.

"Well I did some research on this bishop due to your secrecy around him" Issei said shocking her.

"So Gasper has a sacred gear then" Vali said curiously.

As the group left Gaspers room and returned back to the main office of the ORC, Rias and the others each took their respective seats as Gasper stood in the middle.

"What was the reason why Gasper was sealed" Issei said as he looked upon the others in the room.

"Due to Gaspers powers begin so unstable and my immaturity at the time Onii sama thought it would be best for Gasper to be sealed for his and my safety" Rias said as she placed her hands on her desk.

"So what are we going to do about him" Issei said as he stood up.

"Well I suggest that we start to train him to try and get his powers under control" Rias said as a knock was heard at the door.

"Come in" Issei said as the door opened revelling Murayama.

Walking into the room Rias was shocked to see Murayama at the clubroom so late.

"Hello Murayama how are you today" Issei said as he looked towards the young girl.

"Im good thank you Issei, Can I ask why did you contacted me" Murayama said as she stood next the the table with Gasper.

"Well I thought that today would be a good day to start your training, however Rias and I have a meeting to attend to in the underworld so I won't be as present as I'd like to be however due to your sacred gear doubling as a holy sword, I thought it would be good if Xenovia and Kiba helped you with it, I hope that is ok" Issei said as he bowed politely trying to apologies to the young girl.

"Are you sure that she will be ok and plus Kiba's coming with us remember" Rias said as Issei slapped himself in the forehead.

"Shit, I totally forgot, but it doesn't matter I have an expert on sacred gears coming to help" Issei said as Akeno faced Rias.

"An expert" Rias said shocked.

"Him, watch out he can be a little bit purvey, he's the man that taught Issei his peavey way" Vali said as Issei turned around.

"Hey Im not purvey" Issei said defending himself as Akeno butted in.

"Its time to go" Akeno said.

"Yes Issei, Vali are you ready to go, plus Kiba my brother wishes to see your balance breaker. While we're gone to the rest of you, begin to train Gasper and Murayama in basic things" Rias said as a large red magic circle appeared behind them.

Walking into the magical circle Rias, Akeno, Kiba and Vali soon disappeared leaving Issei on the cusp of the circle.

"Im sorry do do this to you Murayama, but another familiar face might come around as well" Issei said as he also disappeared into the magic circle.

Issei P.O.V

As Issei appeared out of the magic circle that connected the Old School Building and the castle where the four devil kings presided, Issei noticed the others and began to walk towards them. Arriving with the others Issei joined them where they were waiting on one of the benches that were littered throughout the corridors.

Beginning to walk Issei was both nervous and glad that peace was going to be created. Issei major nerves surrounded Murayama and the training that he had just left her to do alone with out any guidance, however Issei was more over come by the peace that was finally going to be achieved between the three factions.

Knocking on the door Rias and the other four devils stood at the large door. Looking around Issei was surprised at how big this building was, continuing to look around Issei noticed that it was easily twice the size of the Gremory and Buer houses combined. The grey like marble that proceeded above the sight that Issei possessed and reminded Issei of a old European cathedral from the late 1300's however instead of church iconography it was littered with demonic symbols and phrases, turning around Issei noticed four 20 metre by 10 metre banners that were each coloured in the devil kings representative colour.

Hearing the doors open Issei was pleased to see Grayfia attending to the door as the queen of the devil king Lucifer rather than the head maid of the Gremory clan. Walking in Issei was surprised to see Sirzech Lucifer and Serafall Leviathan sitting behind a massive dark wood table.

Standing in front of their kings all the devils including Rias bowed and took there places across the table. Sitting down next to Rias with their respective queens behind them, Issei and Rias were both surprised to see Sona sitting next to them.

"Ok seeing that everybody is here lets begin this meeting" Sirzech said as a magic screen appeared before the young devils"

Murayama P.O.V.

Standing in front of the group of devils Murayama was eager to begin her training, for weeks she had been trying to convince Issei to help her and today was finally the day through it wasn't as she had for seen it to be.

"Ok I don't know much about training others but I'll do my best, Murayama do you mind coming over here please" Xenovia said as she summoned Durandal.

As Murayama began to walk over to the small cleaning were Xenovia was leading her to Murayama was nervous. Even though she was still only a human she could tell that the sword in Xenovia's hand was strong. Arriving at the clearing Xenovia sat down shocking the young human.

"Sit please" Xenovia said as she stretched out her hand directing the young lady to sit cross legged across from her.

"So what are we going to do first" Murayama said unsure on what was going to happen.

"First I'm going to teach you how to deploy your sword" Xenovia said as Durandal disappeared.

"So how do I do that" Murayama said confused.

"First think of something or someone that makes you feel happy or safe" Xenovia said as Murayama began to think.

Sitting there cross legged Murayama began to think long and hard about what Xenovia had said. Thinking pictures of Issei and her best friend Katase began to fly through her head. As Murayama sat there with her eyes closed Xenovia was surprised when a grey like substance began to run down the young girls right forearm before forming into a Japanese Katana with an orange jewel in the middle.

As Murayama opened her eyes she was shocked when she noticed the sword in her hands.

"Wow I did it, so whats next" Murayama said shocked and eager to continue.

"Yes you did, Now I'm going to teach you a few basic sword fighting techniques" Xenovia said as she stood up making Durandal appear in her hand once again.

"Not to be rude but I already know kendo" Murayama said as Xenovia smiled.

"And that is a very good basis to create your style around but if I'm not mistaken Kendo sword are made a bamboo and wood" Xenovia said as she raised Durandal up in front of her pointing the blade towards Murayama.

"Yes they are, so what does that have to do with this" Murayama said confused.

"Murayama please raise your sword and place it next to Durandal" Xenovia said as the young girl stood up.

Standing up Murayama began to do as she was instructed, Placing her sword in the same position that Xenovia had hers in Murayama began to shake rapidly, shocked Murayama tightened her grip on the blade. Suddenly Xenovia hit Durandal against the Kusanagi sword causing Murayama to almost loss her balance.

"Do you understand what I meant by teaching you new techniques. Remember the Kusanagi sword is a real sword, making it heaver and more draining on the body than a kendo stick. On top of that the holy sword part of the sword also drains its weirder mentally and spiritually as well" Xenovia said as she stabbed Durandal into the ground.

"Yes I'm sorry for my short comings" Murayama said as she bowed to Xenovia.

"You don't have to bow to me, Both Kiba and I will help you master the holy sword part of your weapon to the best of our abilities and the dragon side I think Issei has that planed out" Xenovia said as she raised her sword and began to teach Murayama simple strikes and parries in sword play.

As Murayama and Xenovia were practicing their sword play, poor Gasper was begin chased around by Koneko who was carrying a clove of garlic in her hands. Watching in shock Asia didn't know what to do, Looking around Asia noticed that Saji had just walked around the corner of the Old School building.

"Hello Asia san how are you today I heard that Rias has released her dangerous Bishop" Saji said as he stood next to Asia as Gasper ran past.

"Yeah she has" Asia said as Saji was still fixated on Gasper.

"Another pretty blonde the Gremory house hold sure has some good looking girls, Don't tell Sona or Issei I said that I want to at least have kids before I die" Saji said as Asia giggled.

"Yeah Gasper sure is pretty but he is also a boy" Asia said as Saji dropped to his knees.

"Why is the world so cruel" He said as he went into a state of shock.

"Well, it nice the children of the devil households have come out to play" A voice said coming from the bushes that surrounded the building.

As the devils faced the direction where the voice came from they were surprised to see a man in his early thirties standing there with his hands in his selves.

"Who are you" Saji said as he placed his hand in front of Asia protecting her while he deployed he's sacred gear.

Getting into their fighting stances Xenovia and Murayama placed their swords in front of them ready for an attack. Appearing behind the man Koneko was ready for any sudden movements that may happen, while Gasper hid behind the tree in the middle of the opening.

"Im just here to help, Issei asked me to have a look at your sacred gears, but if you all want to attack me you'll still lose" The man said as he walked up close to Saji.

"Issei sent you" Murayama said shocked.

"Yes, you must be Murayama then, thats a nice sword you have there" The man said as Murayama stood back a couple of steps.

"Yeah what do you want" Murayama said as she began to shake.

"There no need to be scared, there's not much I can do to improve your sacred gear at the moment but what I could see the Durandal user knows what she's doing so if it was my choice I would follow her lead" The man said as Murayama nodded while Xenovia looked at him shocked.

As the man began to avert his eyes from the two sword users and looked straight at Gasper and Saji he once again began to speak.

"Hey cute vampire boy" The man said as Gasper appeared from behind the tree.

"Forbidden Balor view you know this type of sacred gear can become very dangerous if the user is two weak to use it and let me guess your the person that Issei request for Vritra sacred gears for, hmm, I suggest before that happens you should learn to master that gear first. You could place the line onto the adorable vampires head and suck extra power from him to yourself but thats your choice, if Issei was here the vampire could just drink his blood but what do I know". The man said as he turned around walking back into the bushes.

"Hold on a second, I want to know who you are" Saji said as she walked up behind the man.

"You'll find out in time until then goodbye" The man said as he disappeared into the forest.

As the sun began to set the group of young devils, and one human moved into the gym where they had set up a volleyball net with a basket of balls sitting next to them. Walking up the stairs on the side of the box, Xenovia who was soon a top the box began to speak.

"Ok seeing what that man said earlier I believe that it would be a good choice to use his recommendations regarding training, Saji do you mind placing the line onto Gaspers head" Xenovia said as Saji attached the line upon the young Vampires head.

Walking back to the other side of the net Saji began too suck out some of Gaspers powers, As he looked towards Xenovia who in turn nodded back towards the young pawn, Murayama soon spoke up.

"What would you like me to do" She said unsure on what her role was in this activity.

"While Asia begins to throw balls to Gasper, who is going to try and stop them using his sacred gear I am going to through balls at you to mimic an attack, It's up to you whether you dodge, attack or block the ball" Xenovia said as Asia walked up to her.

Throwing the ball towards Gasper, all in the gym watched as the ball continued to get closer to the young Vampire. Suddenly as the ball was inches fro Gaspers face he disappeared. Shocked by what happened Murayama spoke up.

"Were did Gasper go" She asked confused at this new ability.

"Look what I found trying to escape" Koneko said as she dragged Gasper back into the gym by the scruff of his neck.

"All I am is a what, you're so mean Koneko chan" Gasper said as he began to cry.

"Saji do you mind taking a bit more power from the boy" Xenovia said as a purple mist surround the line to Saji's gear.

Issei P.O.V

As Issei was sitting in the same chair that he had been sitting on for the past two hours he couldn't help but feel had been about an hour since he's back had gone num and Vali had been breathing down his next making him stay focused. Resting his head against his hand Issei began to look around the room. Resting on the table in front of him stood a stack of paper regarding the security measures and procedures of the meeting that was going to take place in couple of days.

"So Onii sama will that be all for today" Rias said breaking Issei out of his trance.

"Yes it will be your all dismissed" Sirzech said as the three devil heirs and their queens stood up and bowed along with Kiba.

Leaving the room Issei was glad that the meeting was over, due to the meeting going for so long after after an hour Issei lost interest, not out of disrespect but because most of the meetings content was centred around how this peace between the factions would effect Rias and Sona's management of Kuoh, and seeing that Issei was just the added security for the region he only saw it necessary to know certain points.

"I'll see you later than Rias, Issei" Sona said as she and Tsubaki vanished into a blue magic circle.

"Lets get back" Rias said as the remaining five devils entered a black magic circle.

Arriving back at the ORC headquarters Issei, Vali, Rias, Akeno and Kiba were surprised to see the young devils (minus Tiamat as she had a mountain of paperwork to catch up on regarding the anatomy of puny humans as she called it). Walking into the butlers pantry Vali and Akeno began to prepare tea as Issei and Rias began to talk about how training went.

"So how did today go" Rias asked as she sat down behind her desk.

"Murayama did very well, I must say, Kiba I think you will be impressed with her effort" Xenovia said casting Murayama to blush.

"Thank you Xenovia it makes me happy to hear that" Murayama said as she tried to hid her blush.

"About today I'm very sorry about that I had no idea that that meeting was going to come up I hope you can forgive me" Issei said as he grabbed Murayama hands causing her to get flushed.

"Its fine I just hope everything is ok in your world" Murayama said as she looked at Issei with a massive blue on her face.

Standing back up and taking his seat next to Kiba, Vali and Akeno returned with a pot of tea on the cart. As they began to hand the tea out to everyone it wasn't long before Rias soon spoke up.

"And what of Gaspers training" Rias said as she looked up after sugaring her tea.

"That was not…" Asia said unsure on how to say it.

"It went terrible" Koneko said bluntly and straight to the point.

"Really, where is he now" Rias said wondering about the location of her first bishop.

"He's in his room, he went there after we finished training, I think your guy sacred him a little Issei" Asia said as she looked up at the young man.

"So he actually came around to see how you were going" Issei said surprised.

"So who is he" Xenovia said looking towards Issei.

"He didn't tell you, I'm sorry if he didn't tell you I can not either" Issei said confusing everyone but Vali.

"So he's doing the guess who I am thing again" Vali said as she rubbed her hand across her head in frustration.

"It doesn't matter at the moment, Issei would you mind coming with me, the rest of you are free to go home" Rias said as Vali and Akeno teleported to the Buer residence and Koneko, Asia, Xenovia, Kiba and Murayama left walking back to the apartment building were Asia lives as Murayama was staying with her for the night.

As the rest of the devils vanished Issei and Rias were left alone in the room. Sitting next to Issei, Rias rested her head against Issei's shoulder at the same time she placed her hand on his leg before she began to speak.

"Issei, do you mind helping me with getting Gasper to come out of his comfort zone" Rias said as Issei placed his hand on Rias left thigh.

"Yeah no problem, but I'll be there for emotional support only, is that ok" issei said as she looked at Rias.

"Yeah it's fine" She said as she looked down.

"Hey, whats his problem any way his sacred gear is a very cool one at that" Issei said as he stood up and poured Rias another cup of tea.

"Well as you know Vampires care more about their pure blood status than us devils do. Gaspers father is a well know Vampire from a very distinguished family, but his mother is only a mere human, As a result Gasper was looked down upon by everyone in Vampire society even his own family and sadly when it came to the human world he was seen as nothing but a monster with weird abilities to stop time" Rias said as she looked down toward the ground.

"And let me guess as a result he was seen as an abomination in both worlds, and people were scared that he could do things to them when he accidentally stopped time" Issei said as Rias nodded.

As the two exited the clubroom and began to walk down the hallway to Gaspers room the two discussed ways on how to bring Gasper out of his comfort zone. Arriving at the door Rias proceeded to nock on the door.

"Gasper you can come out now there's know need to be in there anymore, you know this is not what I ever wanted to happen" Rias said as she began to speak to Gaper through the door.

"I.. snn but I hate this power. smm.. It has caused everyone but you to hate me" Gasper said as he continued to cry.

"Hey Gasper, I don't think we've met my name is Issei, do you want to open the door so we can speak" Issei said as the door slightly opened revealing Gasper.

"Your Issei, the one that Rias has told me about" Gasper said as he rubbed nose removing all the snot that was running down his face.

"Yeah this is Issei Gasper, he's heir to the Buer clan and my future husband" Rias said as she blushed like a school girl telling her parents for the first time that she has a boyfriend.

"So you're the one that beat Phenex's whole peerage with that silver haired girl" Gasper said as he opened the door letting the two enter.

"You know about that" Issei said shocked.

"Yeah, I watched it on a private server that I found, it was pretty cool, considering Risers win to loss rate and his regenerative capabilities he should of won easily, so you must be pretty strong if you be him alone" Gasper said as he looked up towards Issei and Rias.

"Thanks for the complement but your power is pretty cool plus with a little more training I think you'll be able to fight some pretty strong opponents one day and to tell you the truth Im pretty jealous of that power, theres more than fighting that power can be used for" Issei said shocking both Gasper and Rias.

"Your jealous of my power" Gasper said shocked.

"Well yeah you can stop time theres a million good uses for that, like having extra time to train as the world has stopped moving" Issei said as Gasper looked at him.

"Really" He replied happily.

"How about this if you can stop ten balls in a row I'll buy you something as a reward, but Rias will be throwing the balls to" Issei said as Gasper stood up.

"Yeah" He said as he ran outside.

"I cant believe that worked" Issei said as he placed his arm around Rias shoulders pulling her into a hug.

"I can, plus thats one of the many reasons I love you" Rias said as Issei looked at her.

"What do you mean by that" Issei asked looking at Rias.

"Its just you have a caring nature" Rias said as she kissed Issei before walking out to help Gasper train.

A/N, Alright I'm going to leave it there, a pretty small chapter compared to some of the others ones I've written in the past month. I made this a training chapter for Gasper, Saji and Murayama as a couple of chapters ago Issei promised Murayama some training either through himself or another member of the devil family and I still hadn't got around to it.

The reason I chose Xenovia to train her, is mainly because she has more experience with holy swords than Kiba (Apart from Excalibur) and I thought that they would be a good match up in the future due to Kiba at this point in time being stronger than the two rather than on par.

I also though of introducing what the meetings were like for Sona and Rias in the underworld leading up to the events of the peace between the three factions, so thats why I introduced that part of the story into this chapter as it creates an administration role for the three kings to also have .

Until next time thanks for reading, and don't be afraid to review down below.
