Chapter 12

As the days went on by, the Fallen Angels activity seemed to be growing less concerning, for the time being. Though Zante was making sure he, and the others had their eyes on them in case they tried anything.

Waking up early in the morning, Zante thought he'd get some good morning training in.

So he went to the training room, cracking his knuckles side to side, when he saw someone else approaching.

It was Ingvild, surprisingly enough. The young girl yawned, and looked to be tired, yet determined at the same time. Her eyes wondrously moved through the training area that they had underneath the house, rather the mansion that they owned.

A body of water was off to the edge, Zante's eyes grasped that Ingvild kept looking towards it, like it was pulling her.

His eyes moved back to the purple haired sweetheart, and moved closer to his Bishop. "You okay Ingvild-chan? We didn't get a chance to catch up, your job go okay?"

"Ooh yes the girl really loved my performance. She said that I could get a record deal~"

"I'm sure with a talent like yours, you'd get one in no time. Well, you already are the lead vocalist on Serafall-san's show, so you're quite popular in the Underworld. Thinking of becoming the next big thing in the human world~?"

Ingvild giggled. "I wouldn't mind it, Zante-kun."

Zante pulls to her side, as her hand finds its way to his waist. Her fingers clutch at his pants, while her tender gaze meets his own supportive one. Soon enough, Ingvild reaches up, and brushes her lips against Zante's own, the passion passing between them.

Ingvild's kisses were shy, but sweet, and ever so delectable. She loved it when they shared a kiss, and she loved it even more when things began to turn up the heat between them. But for right now, she reigns in her growing desire for her lover, and when they broke the kiss, she stayed within his muscular arms.

"Zante-kun, you know that Rias-san is also considering going to have Isane-san join her group?"

Zante nods, recalling that. "She is yeah."

"I've been thinking about future peerage members, I was looking into the fan club last night, and I saw a few potentials."

The fan club.

Zante remembered that there had been a club started about him. He had become activately involved in it, since they all worked very hard, just to know things about him. As a kid, he thought it would've been wild to have such a thing.

But as a teen, he knew that things like that could mean a lot to people. That it could bring joy, happiness, and excitement to all of the people that would attend. He didn't know exactly how many members were in the fan club, but he did know that it was more than a few hundred.

Ravel decidedly had taken control of the situation, but with the other tasks she had, she knew she'd have to find someone else.

Ingvild herself loved the club, and had gained a following all her own. Though she was more than satisfied with being with Zante, and having him be the only one that would be her fan, he was her first fan in the new era she woke up in after all.

"So, you've found a few potentials, Ingvild-chan?"

Ingvild nods, a spark flashing through her orange orbs that dazed with light beginning to bathe her from the light source in the air. "I think so. Ravel-chan is also saying that she wishes to have someone take over full time. But she hasn't had a chance to really do many things about it lately."

Zante nod in understanding. "People can be passionate. Maybe we could help her with that, Ingvild-chan?"

Ingvild was all for it, and felt her yearnings turning on high. "If we did that, then maybe…maybe we could do things such as that…I wouldn't mind meeting more members of the fan club. I even heard that the Youkai princess was also involved in it, and she's quite vocal…though she does seem to have clashes with Koneko-san frequently about many things."

Zante had heard of that as well, wondering the situation between them. "I hope they can get along in the future. Don't you, Ingvild-chan?"

Ingvild nods, her heart skipping a beat as his smile grew on his face, his eyes laced with love and tenderness that couldn't be replicated so easily for her by anyone, and she loved that about her King, feeling her wants and needs always fulfilled by her King.

"By the way Zante-kun, if we gain a new peerage member, what would you be on the lookout for?"

Zante was intrigued by the questions, she didn't usually bring the peerage members so much. "Depends really. I'd like to see some of all types really."

Ingvild inquests further. "By that, you mean, Power, Technique, Support, and Wizard?"

Zante nods. "We have a good basis on all of those categories already, so I'd like to expand, and now gain people that would work well with others already established in the group. But I'm surprised you're becoming more into it lately. Has something happened?"

"Well, I am a Leviathan too, Zante-kun. I'd like to know more about the inner workings of the peerage, and how I could maybe become more into the politics of the Underworld. Ravel-san is very good at supporting you Zante-kun, and I'd like to do the same! Especially for the peerage! I wish to be able to contribute more~!"

Despite saying it with a yawn, she held a peppy attitude that he did like a good deal.

"Well, I'm fascinated to see you thinking like that Ingvild-chan. It'd be lovely to see what you think. I'm in the belief that Ravel-chan is beginning to set up for the monthly peerage selection. Obviously, we haven't found anyone, but if you have any ideas on how to attract stronger people, then I'd be all for hearing it."

Ingvild became excited, wishing to expand her role all the more.

So she eagerly rushed towards the body of water, and she began to practice with her power. She summoned ten thirty metre tall water dragons, which began to release incredible aura, Zante was seeing her being rather pumped up right now, and was glad for her.

Meanwhile, inside of the Fallen Angels headquarters in the town of Kuoh, Raynare paced the churches path through the pews, she recalled what Kuroka said, and it had jeopardized their entire mission.

She wanted power, and she didn't have it.

The only way to gain it was with different means, and so she tried.

But going through Kuoh, was a very risky game, and she needed to be on top of her game if she didn't want to wind up dead, like so many who had tried to take on Zante's peerage before, she wasn't going to allow that to happen to her.

Dohnaseek, seeing her growing frustrations, ranted to her, Kalawarner and Mittelt nowhere to be found. "Where are Useless and Knockers?"

"Knockers is doing something for me, and Useless is doing other tasks for me. We have to prepare, prepare, prepare. Now, Moron, you're going to be doing some tasks for me. I've figured that if Asia Argento, comes to this region, then we'll be in trouble for sure, you'll be dead for definite, and we will have to sacrifice our goals and ambitions."

Dohnaseek didn't like being like this.

Forced to change their plans, because of Zante and his group.

"That girl, its all her damn fault! If she didn't exist, then we'd not have this problem! You know what I'm talking about?!"

Raynare sighed. "Well, that's how it is Dohnaseek. We can't change that, anymore than Useless can get away from her namesake. We will just have to be smart, and think outside the box, we have to do our best, after all."

Dohnaseek didn't like the idea at all, his hand tightening. "What we need, is to be out of Kuoh."

"Well, yeah that's how it is." Raynare didn't deny what he said was true.

Dohnaseek's hand surged with light for a moment, his anger beginning to be fuelled. "Then, how about we get rid of her?"

Raynare snorted. "That's a joke, isn't it?"

Dohnaseek scowled. "What does that mean?"

"Like, how are you going to accomplish that? You don't think he's got his neko girls sensing around that Isane Hyoudou girl? She is very vulnerable at first glance, that's how it appears, and its exactly what Zante-sama would want people to believe. He's going to be guarding her from a distance, so you rock up, and what? One shot the girl, and then run? He'd snap you like a twig before you could even blink. But if you're so confident, if you do decide to take the stupid option, then don't throw me under the bus."

Dohnaseek wondered if she was right.

Since she was showing large amounts of rage, yet also had tranquil eyes at the same time, a very interesting combination in her eyes.

But he was fuelled by his rage, and his hand was shaking. "I can't just sit here and do nothing!"

"Then go and join Knockers on us planning to depart from here. She's deciding on how we can get out of this job for Azazel-sama. While I love pleasing him, if he found out this soon we're after Asia Argento, then the whole plans down the drain."

Dohnaseek sat down on a broken pew, his face contorting angrily. "To think we've resorted to hiding our intentions. How pathetic are we to do such things?"

"It isn't pathetic, its called being tactical. Call it a tactical retreat. Call it whatever you want. But the point is, that's the best way to go about it."

Dohnaseek didn't share Raynare's thoughts, and he began walking towards the back of the church.

Raynare followed with her eyes, seeing him disappear momentarily.

Then, he came back wielding a nasty looking dagger. "Don't need powers, if I stab her quickly enough."

Raynare sighed even louder. "Yeah, that isn't going to work genius. Remember when I said that she'll be being watched? Or did you just erase that part from your brain? Either way, you have to stop this line of talk. Go find Knockers, and help her out."

Dohnaseek didn't comply, and began moving for the exit.

He wouldn't waste his life now, he wouldn't hide his intentions.

He wasn't stupid enough to confront Zante and his group directly, but he wasn't going to hold back either and was going to finish off the brown haired girl once and for all.

Raynare murmured "He's gonna get himself killed." sighing deeply, then grimaced. "Shit, he better not throw me under the bus…what a fricking idiot."

While Raynare said that, Mittelt came into the rundown church, folding her arms. "I'm back."

"Useless, I'm glad to see you."

Mittelt sighed deeply at the nickname she had acquired somehow. "O-Okay, so what should I do Raynare-sama?"

Raynare snickered, and moved closer to the blonde, and thought of a few things she could do…

The day passed by with nothing of note happening, the Fallen Angels hadn't really done anything that day, as Kuroka and Koneko had expressed, so Zante and the others had a good time to relax with one another.

Going through school, and then ending the day, Zante was relaxing within his clubroom, while Koneko slept on his chest, and lap, Zante's eyes went to the TV in the room, casually watching a program in the Underworld, one that he actually did like watching when he had the chance to.

However, soon the door was opened after a knock and Zante granting them access to inside, and revealed Sona coming inside of the room. "Zante-kun, do you have a moment?"

"I'm rather busy, doing nothing~" Zante joked, patting a chair close by. "Sure, something on your mind?"

Sona strides forward, perching on a chair close by, her eyes angle at Zante while he relaxes with Koneko. "Your peerage?"

"All on contracts, doing their usual thing." Zante retorts. "So, what can I do for you Sona-chan? You seem to have a serious expression."

Sona purses her lips ever so slightly. "I was just wondering the status of the Fallen Angels. I am going to be having a meeting this evening for potential peerage members. But if the Fallen Angels are up to anything, then perhaps it might be best I call it off?"

Zante waved his hand. "You can have it if you want? I'll keep the Fallen Angels out of your business."

Sona wore a relieved expression. "Its good to know, then I could potentially gain new peerage members. How about yourself?"

"A few days, I believe. I'll have to coordinate with Ravel-chan about it."

Sona furrows her brows, her eyes going to the sleeping Koneko, and held a half amused look on her face, trying to cover it by her usual casual expression. "It seems that you're as close as ever with your peerage."

"Of course~" Zante beamed, looking down at Koneko. "Its really best to have a good relationship with your peerage members. Don't you think so Sona-chan?"

"I think it can have its advantages." Sona agreed. "Though, I have to say, have you been hearing the word in the Underworld? Riser seems to be beginning to try and make a move for Rias."

Zante nods. "Yeah, Ravel-chan did mention it."

Sona folds her arms. "I remember when I had my own fiancee, and stopped that with a game of chess. I doubt that Riser would go for the same thing. How do you think that things are going to proceed with them?"

"No doubt, I'm sure that they're probably going to be going for a Rating Game. Rias-chan is adamant about not marrying him, and Riser is adamant that he can."

Sona thought that would be the case. "Yes, it seems to be going that way. And what are you thinking about Zante-kun? Your position would probably make it difficult. Being the Bael heir, while also having Ravel-san in your peerage, and being closely tied with Rias, it seems your position in this could become difficult."

Zante folds his arms, and thought about it. "You're not wrong about that. Depending on how it goes, things could escalate, and I've got to think about a few things. But, I've been thinking about it for a while now, so we'll get through it Sona-chan. Rias-chan's group is capable, and Akeno-san definitely is a very strong member of the group."

Sona raised her head, believing she understood what he was saying. "I see, so that's how it is. Yes, I understand."

Zante and Sona spend a little time conversing about a few things going on in the Underworld, and around the town, enjoying their time together.

Meanwhile, Rias was beginning to exit the Occult Research building, and when she did, she happened to notice Isane walking along the school path, seemingly dejected about something.

Rias recalled the conversation she had with Zante, and thought about approaching the young girl, so did so with a swift foot.

"Isane Hyoudou-san."

Isane jumped, turning with an exasperated breath. "A-Aaah, Gremory-senpai! Sorry, I was startled~"

Rias backed up, waving her hand. "Its okay. I'm sorry to suddenly startle you. But I noticed you looked a little…disheartened? Has something happened, Hyoudou-san?"

"No, not really. I thought Zante-kun was in swim club this afternoon, but I got my days mixed up. Its tomorrow morning."

Rias found it amusing that's what had gotten Isane down. "So, you like Zante, do you? In the swim club...and in other places."

Isane rubbed the back of her head. "Yeah, he's the best Bishounen~ Like, he's got the perfect mixtures of what the essence of a true Bishounen truly is! Soft, gentle, badass, sexy, all wrapped up into one! I even saw his fighting skills once! It was incredible! A hottie that can kick ass, yes please~!

Rias began to giggle. "You're quite honest with your thoughts, aren't you?"

Isane shrugged. "Its just, what's the point in holding back? Yeah, I don't shout it from the rooftops that I think he's very sexy. But I don't mind saying about it with others~ By the way Gremory-senpai, are you and Zante-kun an item?"

Rias was flabbergasted by that. "Erm…."

Isane nods slowly as Rias thought how to put it. "I see…well, he is a pretty cute handsome guy. I remember the first day I met him, he was super sweet~ He even stopped this guy from making fun of me. Zante-kun totally threw him off with only a hand, a cool Bishounen that's strong. Isn't that the best fantasy~? I know when I see those muscles under his shirt..." Isane squirms in place, entranced by her own thoughts. "...just thinking about it makes me so happy~"

Rias couldn't help but admit that she did find that to be a good thing indeed. "I see, so that's how you met huh? It sounds like something Zante would do."

Isane giggles happily, a fond smile on her face. "Aah, Zante-kun and I have had a good few good times together. Also, he's totally accepting, even when he knew of my love for Bishounen's~ Other guys are kinda put off, I guess? But Zante-kun always smiles, and we have a good laugh together often~ Even when that Vali scares me with those passionate stares she always has for me."

Rias could see the passion in her eyes.

She could see why Zante said she'd be an interesting Devil if given the chance. "Yeah, Zante is a pretty approachable guy. So, did you want to go on a date with him?"

Isane spluttered. "M-Me!? Ask him out?! There's no way! I mean, he's the Prince of the school! I'm, me!"

Rias tilts her head. "And what's wrong with you, Hyoudou-san? I think you're pretty attractive."

Isane's insecure smile soon grew into more of a genuine one, and she did like the idea of Rias encouraging her. "Y-You do?"

"Yes, I think you are. And I know that Zante likes you too. He's told me, he likes when you and he speak together. Saying something about how you are open and honest with yourself, he likes that about people."

Isane kept picturing in her mind about Zante, and her being together.

Laughing together.

Enjoying one another's time.

And she unexpectedly did find herself liking speaking with Rias as well.

Rias went to speak, when she received a call on her phone.

She looked to see that she had a dealing with a Stray Devil along with her peerage.

While she wished to speak with Isane more, she also had her duties to attend too. "I suppose this is me, Hyoudou-san. I've got some duties to attend to. But, I'd like to continue the conversation. Feel free to come to the Old School Building whenever you like, or maybe we could have lunch together?"

Rias asking her of all people to eat lunch, it was a privilege, an honour some might say.

Isane knew Rias was very well liked in the school, and now she was directing that towards her.

Isane keenly nods her head. "S-Sure, sounds great Gremory-senpai!"

Rias smiles and walks off.

Isane seemed to be chuffed with herself by what had happened, and walked off with a skip in her step.

When Zante returned home that evening, he could hear voices.

He followed the voices, and walked to the living room, where he saw Kuroka stationed in front of a camera, and Vali was sat next to her, arms folded across her bust, and eyes that looked dismissive of the entire event.

Ravel was sat behind the camera, and had a laptop on her thighs, seemingly helping Kuroka out.

Zante could see that it was for Kuroka's Devitube channel. Even he had a channel, and posted videos regularly. He knew Kuroka's content was…pretty wild, he even knew of Akeno's, and how fun that could be, in fact he was often a guest on their channels, where things got hectic for sure, and he couldn't hide his astonishment that Vali was there.

"Welcome to another video my cute kittens! Today's guest is one you've been hammering for! She's known as a very scary girl who can destroy cities with that Devil Dragon power, but really she's as soft as a cat with our King~ Welcome, Vali Lucifer-chan~!"

Zante was especially surprised that Vali would agree to do that.

But then he learned the reason when Vali spoke up. "Kuroka, you promised ramen from that famous shop I like."

Kuroka kept up a sweet smile, the corner of her mouth twitching. "You'll get it after the show." She whispered, Vali nods in acceptance. "Anyway Vali-chan, thank you for taking time to come here, and be with us~"

"Its fine." Vali replied monotone, Zante held back a small snort.

"Great, so the viewers are dying to know so many things! I have questions! Can I hit you with them?"

"Go ahead." Zante loved how casual Vali was.

"Great, great. Then first question is…is it true you have a thing for Zante-chan's butt?"

Vali's face turned ever so slightly red, keeping up a neutral expression. "I don't hate it, and I don't love it."

Ravel knew it was a lie, and knew Vali did like it, but didn't want to say it.

"We all know what that means nyaa~" Kuroka grinned, but grimaced when Vali glared at her. "A-Anyway, next, if you could pick a day of the week where you'd spend time with Zante-chan, what day would that be?"

"Someone really asked that?" Vali incredulously asked. Kuroka nods. "Ugh…I guess Sunday, he's usually the most rested on that day, so we can fight for the morning, take a break for sex for at least four hours, then we can resume fighting in the afternoon for two or so hours, followed by an evening to the morning of sex."

Zante coughed, drawing Ravel's attention who's mouth was agape at the answer.

Kuroka was eating this up. "Lovely, besides the fighting, I think that's how my day would go too~ Now, lets see…aah yes. So, you've been known to be a fighting type of girl, who would you say your hardest opponent has been?"

"Probably Zante alone. As a group, its when we fought that God."

Kuroka whistled. "Ooh yeah, I remember that~ Now, who's your favourite peerage member?"

"Is Zante included in that?"

"Nope, he's the King, and we all love our King nyaaa~"

"Then, I find you all, at least interesting in fights, and while your personality is rather different, I do value you as a comrade on the battlefield Kuroka. Though, don't try and steal Zante when we're in the middle of coitus."

Ravel coughed, as Zante openly laughed.

Kuroka noticed, and winked cheerfully, while Vali noticed, and stood up.

Kuroka became confused. "Wait, Vali-chan! The interview!"

"Zante's here, its time for me and him to begin coitus. You have ten seconds to decide if you wish to join."

Kuroka threw her papers down, and stopped the camera. "Ravel-chan, we can continue the interview later nyaa~ Lets go and wow our King~"

"S-Sure! Though it isn't in the schedule, sometimes you have to be wild and throw caution to the wind!"

Ravel skipped over the wires, and took Zante's hand, Kuroka wrapped her arms around his, and Vali took his other hand, pulling him up the stairs to have a little bit of fun for the evening.

The next morning, Zante, and Ravel had gotten up early, so they could get some paperwork done for the day. Ravel's eyes would go to Zante every so often, while he would catch her, and adopted a small teasing smile on his face.

"Seems like we've just about managed to take care of the duties for the next few days." Zante beamed at Ravel, who showed an elegant smile. "Couldn't have done it without you." Zante carried on, noticing that Ravel was rather quiet.

So he leaned closer to the young woman, gently poking her face.

Ravel snapped out of her thoughts, turning to Zante with widen eyes. "S-Something on your mind, Zante-sama?"

"Not with me. Something going on in that head of yours, Ravel-chan?" As he said it, his eyes laced with a sensual stare that flooded the young girls heart.

Ravel felt her cheeks beginning to rush with hot blood, turning bright crimson. "N-Nothing really Zante-sama…s-so, I heard you and Vali-sama were…n-no! I can't speak about it!"

Zante always found it cute when Ravel was a little shy. "What can't you speak about?"

Ravel's body began to tremble with excitement, her eyes gazed at her King with desire laced within the bright beautiful orbs. Ravel's breathing became laboured, upon Zante gently caressing her cheek with his lips for a moment.

"You are cute, Ravel-chan."

Ravel's eyes shot to the left, looking bashful despite how close they became. "Zante-sama, this is…I'm glad, that we can be together like this."

Zante looked amused at the young woman, seeing her becoming redder in the face by the moment.

So he pushed his chair closer, his hand laying on top of hers. "Me too, Ravel-chan."

Ravel's eyes fluttered, her eyes meeting with Zante's own.

She flipped her hand, and ran her fingers across Zante's.

Zante in turn allowed his fingers to dance across Ravel's digits, taking in the sights of the young woman. Ravel truly was a beautiful girl, and he couldn't help but think fondly of her whenever they were together.

Ravel felt a heat pooling through her body, moving closer, and her eyes went towards his lap.

She thought "Koneko-san isn't here right now. Maybe its my chance to sit there too…" and began to stand up.

When she turned her eyes for a moment, she heard something that sounded like feet running.

She turned back, and was astonished to see that Koneko had found her way to Zante's lap. "K-Koneko-san!"

"…I thought you were trying to sit on Zante-senpai's lap. I sensed a disturbance."

"I'm a disturbance?" Ravel murmured, confused.

Koneko shakes her head. "…No, the disturbance is that someone was trying to sit down Zante-senpai's lap, I can tell when that place is attempting to be occupied by someone else entirely."

Zante thought that was a very intriguing power that Koneko had.

Ravel scowled. "He is my fiancee, and if I want to sit on his lap, and have his permission, then I'm going to sit on his lap."

"…He is also my King. The lap, is my comfort place. I wont give it up." Koneko countered.

Sparks flashed between their eyes, Zante found their interactions to be amusing, knowing deep down, they were actually very close friends. But for whatever reason, they both became very territorial over Zante's lap.

Meanwhile, Isane had woken up early that day, and was heading for school. She knew that early that morning, the boys swim team would be practicing, and she definitely loved seeing the guys in tiny swim trunks, especially the object of her affections, Zante.

She practically skipped to school, and on her way, she bypassed various students also heading in early, including the so called Kendo Girls. Isane was passive about them at best, while also thinking they were pretty, she also held a good deal of fear in case they would try anything when she wished to see Zante in various states of clothing.

Musing in her head what he'd be doing that morning, Isane saw down the street, Dohnaseek was walking the opposite direction.

She didn't pay him any mind since he wasn't her type. She was into Bishounen boys, and Dohnaseek definitely wasn't classed as that.

Dohnaseek put on a charming grin, and moved closer to Isane. Walking so their paths would naturally come across one another.

"Hey there, beautiful." Dohnaseek greeted, tipping his fedora towards her.

Isane looked around, believing that he was speaking to someone else.

She downright hoped he was speaking to someone else.

But that didn't seem to be the case.

So she politely adopted a small smile, and tried to scoot pass him. "Sorry, eh, I'm kinda late as it is~ Thanks for the compliment though~"

Isane thought she had done the kind thing, and simply tried to go ahead.

But Dohnaseek wasn't too thrilled by this development, and forced himself between her, and the open road.

Isane felt some intimidation coming over her in waves, she didn't like this at all, and thought of a way out of this. "Excuse me, please."

She tried once more doing the kind thing, believing that it could help her get around Dohnaseek.

But he was persistent, and he didn't make any intentions to move whatsoever. "Hey now, I just paid you a compliment. The least you could do is pay me one back."

Isane looked the Fallen Angel up and down, struggling on what she could actually compliment.

He wasn't her type, so she didn't know what to exactly look for. Plus, the vibes she got off of Dohnaseek didn't fill her with any kind of happiness either, and she contemplated on how she was supposed to get out of this one.

"Eeh…nice fedora~" She said the first thing that came to her mind.

Dohnaseek's jaw hit the floor, shocked that's the best thing she could come up with, his ego taking a hit and his pride as a Fallen Angel feeling like it was slowing being brought down to reality. "I said you're beautiful, and your comeback is to comment on my fedora?"

Dohnaseek reigned in his growing antagonistic ways the best he could do, not wanting to alert the powers in the town to exactly what he was doing, knowing that they could probably detect if he flared his powers thanks to the expert skills of Kuroka and Koneko.

Isane grimaced, her mind racing, her body pulling away subconsciously, wanting to put as much distance between them as she humanly could do. "Yeah, I think its a nice fedora. An-Anyway, I think its time for me to head off to school! Bye!"

Isane tried to be peaceful, and get the hell out of there.

But Dohnaseek had other ideas, pushing his body and his hand reached out for her arm, attempting to snatch her away.

Isane was beyond surprised by how fast he could move.

It seemed almost otherworldly to her.

Fortunately, the moment his fingers were going to touch her, his hand was repelled by some unseen force.

"My, is that you Isane-chan?"

Dohnaseek's face drained of all its colour, becoming paler than a ghost.

The voice, was very recognizable to the older gentleman.

And especially when he had heard it right before enemies he had seen being completely destroyed.

Zante came up the path, to the relief of Isane, and she practically rushed him, pushing her body behind his own, and her eyes went to Dohnaseek nervously. She hated guys like Dohnaseek, who would try and be so full on.

Dohnaseek himself felt like he was about to have a heart attack.

One of the strongest Devils in the town, certainly the one with the most authority, and one that was well acquainted with the likes of his boss Azazel.

Dohnaseek felt his heart palpitating, like it was trying to break out of his chest.

Nervous sweat clung to his face, and cheeks, dripping down his chin.

His eyes became cloudy, he couldn't focus on anything at all, apart from the fact that Zante was before his very eyes.

His hands shook, his legs felt like jelly.

Dohnaseek knew at this moment, he was screwed.

"Hey Isane-chan, is this guy bothering you?" As he said it, Zante shot a look of killing intent for Dohnaseek.

Dohnaseek was floored immediately.

He couldn't recover from such a look which felt like the eyes of a powerful monster.

In terms of power, Zante's power dwarfed Dohnaseek's own, even Dohnaseek wasn't a fool to believe he was stronger, even with the bravado that he tried to show.

Isane looked back at Dohnaseek, seeing him sweating bullets, and his eyes glazed over. "Yeah, kind of. He kept trying to make me compliment him, and then he tried to grab me."

When Isane told the truth, internal panic came over Dohnaseek.

Like he was about to collapse, Dohnaseek's eyes flooded with hot desire to leave the area.

But it wouldn't be that easy.

Even if he could move his body, he was under the gaze of Zante.

One false move, and Zante could finish him off before he could even think about it. Before he could even blink, he knew he'd be departing this world, and Dohnaseek didn't want that, he wanted to be strong and break free of the chains that bound him.

"I see, so he was about to get physical huh?"

Isane nods. "Think so yeah. What a weird guy. Anyway!" Isane became chipper. "Swimming today, Zante-kun? And if you are, a-are you wearing the smaller swimsuit today?"

Zante pursed his lips teasingly. "Well, I was wondering if I should go for the one that goes up to my knees, or the smaller version. Both have their advantages after all~"

Isane flashed a bright grin, her teeth shining like stars, and her face lit up like a Christmas tree. "The smaller swimsuit really is the best way to go!"

As she said it, she put her thumbs up in a rather admittedly cheesy, but definitely endearing way.

"I see, so I should wear that? Why not~"

Isane's eyes became so bright, like lanterns in the dark.

She allowed her arms to snake around one of his, partly because Dohnaseek freaked her out, and partly because she just wanted to hold onto his arm as well.

Both were valid reasons in her eyes.

Zante took a glance at Dohnaseek, who flinched considerably.

Soon enough, Zante began walking off, together with Isane.

Dohanseek sighed, releasing a breath he didn't know he had been holding.

He thought he had gotten away with it…

That was until he felt a hand grab his shoulder.

"N-Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Dohnaseek yelled.

He didn't want to see who it was.

Anyone, and it would be terrifying.

When he fearfully turned, he saw the beautiful face of Vali, showing a not so subtle anger that radiated from her soft features, and her eyes as well, truly it felt terrifying if he was honest with himself.

"V-Valiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!"

Vali sighed, cleaning her ear as the dramatic yell momentarily annoyed her. "Dohnaseek, it seems you couldn't resist, could you?"

"T-This isn't what it looks like! I just wanted a date!"

"We don't always get what we want, you certainly wont." Vali countered.

Dohnaseek shed real tears, streaming from his eyes.

Not only Vali, but Zante's presence had terrified him.

He didn't know what unknown hells he'd be subjected to for this…

Dohnaseek eventually found out what hell he'd be going through, when he found himself on a stage, together with Ingvild.

"At first I was afraid~ I was petrified~" Ingvild sang, twirling as she did.

Zante, and his group had gathered to watch the performance. Even Rias and her group did as well as Sona and her Queen Tsubaki.

"T-T-Thinking I could never live without you by my side~!" Dohnaseek's eyes shed large tears.

"And after spending so many nights thinking how you did me wrong~" Ingvild sang with the voice of a truly great artist.

"I-I grew strong~ And I learned how to get along~!"

For Dohnaseek, this was hell right now.

For the others, it was a very entertaining concert.

Rias claps her hands a single time. "Incredible~"

"Good show~" Kuroka grins.

Zante looks amused, as Koneko nods strongly. "...Ingvild-san always says she wishes to have a singing partner. Now that she does, its time for her to hit the stage with all she's got."

"As they say, break a leg~" Zante added joyfully.

"I think he's got a flare for the drama." Sona mused, her smirk realizing itself on her face. "And this really is the best performance."

"Maybe we could have him sing Angel of Darkness?" Vali mused.

Zante snickered. "Good idea Vali-chan, he'd be a killer for sure~"

"Ooh Maou-sama~" Ravel burst into laughter, as Dohnaseek and Ingvild began to dance to a routine that the currently awake sleeping beauty had come up with. Dohnaseek's movements were very unnatural compared to the very talented Ingvild.

This was one of the punishments that the group had brought upon Dohnaseek, who was looking as if his entire life was on the line, his face crinkling and his body crumbling to nothingness, he wished that was what was happening.

This was another form of punishment the likes he had never seen before.

Akeno was enthralled, and watched as Dohnaseek made several critical mistakes. But Ingvild took it in stride, and made it apart of the performance, she had to admit that Ingvild was able to improvise so very well.

The half Fallen Angel turned to Zante, pursing her lips. "What's going to happen to him, Zante-kun?"

"While he didn't actually hurt her, it was clear what his intentions were. So, he's gonna be going back to Azazel-san, and we'll have to pay a visit to-"

"Hells Bitches." Kuroka winks as she flashes a peace sign.

Zante tilts his head, then nods, and continues. "-and see what's going on with them."

Akeno snickered at the name Kuroka gave them, while Rias folds her arms underneath her bust. "How reckless does he have to be? Never mind you being here Zante, but we're also here. Did he think he'd succeed in trying to get her favour or something?"

"When its clear the pervert is only interested in Bishounen's. I wish mercy on the poor Bishounen's everywhere, especially Senpai. Since the perv has her eyes on you, Senpai." Koneko added, twisting her body on Zante's lap, purring away happily.

Ravel who was in stitches from laughing, runs a hand through her drill like curls. "Rias-sama does bring up a good point, he must've been really desperate if he was going to go through these measures to try and get Isane-sama. Did he have a plan? And why bother? Did the Fallen Angels not want the job to watch her, or did they want to get her out of the way? But she doesn't know of her Sacred Gear, and neither do they."

"Honestly, it could be a combo of those Ravel-chan." Zante mused with a shrug of his shoulders, looking at Vali who hadn't said anything, seemingly occupied with eating her ramen as she watched the performance. "Did he say anything Vali-chan?"

"Nothing of note, beyond that he was tired of being under other peoples shadows. If you'd like for me to get more information out of him, give me an hour, and we'll see what he wishes to speak about."

Zante hummed as he thought about it, while Akeno grins ear to ear. "Ara, punishments? I could help, I'm good at making people talk ufufu~"

Vali glances at Akeno, seeing her eyes, being a little too eager for this. "You can come, but not too far. Azazel can decide what happens with him, since he's no threat to us."

Akeno ran her hand towards her mouth, her pink wriggly tongue coming out a little in excitement. "Ara, well I much prefer when Zante-kun is the one who gives me his one on one alone time, but Dohnaseek really does need to be stopped after all. Speaking of, Zante-kun. Would you want to rate my performance this evening?"

Zante's cheeks tinge red, his eyes lacing over the young woman, seeing her perky breasts being proudly pushed forward. "We'll have to wait and see~"

He could tease just as much as Akeno, and the half Fallen Angel loved it so very much.

Zante kept his eyes on Dohnaseek, wishing that he hadn't tried to go for Isane, but that was the reality, and now they'd have to keep their eyes on the other Fallen Angels, knowing they'd not admit to anything Dohnaseek was doing, or knowing anything he would be up to either...

End chapter!

This chapter dealt with Dohnaseek trying his hand, but not succeeding. Rias and Isane have begun becoming friends. Zante and Ingvild show their closeness, as Sona and Zante ponder what will happen in the future, and Kuroka along with Ravel and Vali had a good moment together with their King.

I've been thinking about the peerage, and I am considering have Asia become apart of Zante's peerage, as a Pawn. And of course any suggestions you all have, feel free to let me know~
