[Pre-Chapter A/N
Just letting you all know that there is some news in the end of chapter Authors notes, I'd recommend reading them to get an important update on how the next few chapters of the story will be released
And a question to those reading. If you were an Overlord, what's the first place you'd conqure?]
"Left!"
"Right."
"Left!"
"Right."
"Left!"
"Right."
"Right, Left!"
"So smooth!~ YEOWCH! MITTLET STEPPED ON MY FOOT!"
"Issei fucked it up again, give me fifty."
It was an early Sunday morning in Kuoh. Early as in the sun had only just started rising. The Overlord and his entourage were all wearing tracksuits, with their respective colors, sans Dohnaseek and Mittlet who wore black.
Today Kurozai had finally begun to train his entourage. Currently, Issei, Asia and Mittlet were all being forced to run drills for Dohnaseek as Kurozai focused his training efforts on Kalawarna and her new spears.
The two generals and Ex-Fallen began to push the earth down as punishment for Issei yelling about his foot.
But Kurozai and Kalawarna?
Clang!
The two were fighting one on one, with Kurozai using his sword to block Kalawarna's new "Spear of Absence" or 'Dark Spear' as Kurozai labeled them.
"You're getting better!"
"Thank you sir!"
Kurozai used his left hand to gather some sand from the ground and threw it at Kalawarna's face. "But we gotta fight dirty!" The Overlord informed.
The red general shut her eyes, however some sand got in. "AUGHHHH! A GOOD THROW SIR!" Kalawarna complemented, dropping her spear and holding her eyes. "OUR ENEMIES WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HANDLE SUCH ATTACKS!"
"Calm down Kala, it's sand, not an Ultimate Tier spell." Kurozai said with a sigh. The Overlord grabbed the whistle on his chest and blew into it. Signaling that training was over for the day.
With it over, Issei began to howl. "DUDE MY MUSCLES FEEL LIKE HELL!" The brown general flopped onto the ground from his pushups.
Mittlet crouched over him with a smirk. "Don't be such a baby Rock boy. For myself and Dohnaseek, this was more of a warm up."
Issei looked up from the dirt with a raised eyebrow. "Oh yeah? Then why are your legs shaking?"
Mittlet's smirk morphed into a snarl. "WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO SPEAK WHELP!" Mittlet shouted, ready to hurt Issei, but stood up too quickly and fell onto her back.
A few feet away, Dohnaseek held Asia back from healing the two. Claiming 'If you do it then the muscles won't get strong on their own.'
The local Overlord wandered over to his brown general with a mischievous look on his face. "Hey Issei. You know what I just remembered?"
The brown general, whose face was back in the dirt, sighed. "What's that boss?" His voice muffled by the dirt.
"I never gave your punishment for that perverted shit you did during the battle." Kurozai said and grabbed Issei by the collar and shoved him into Dohnaseek. "Dohnaseek, work him to near death please." Kurozai smiled warmly as the ex-fallen nodded and pushed Issei forward.
"Let's move General Hyoudou, we'll do three laps followed by some two hours of PT, by then I think you'll be done." Dohnaseek said and began to jog.
"Around the block?" Issei asked with a voice full of hope.
"Around the city. Let's go! Left!"
"Right" Issei sobbed out and began to jog, knowing that this was a better alternative to Kurozai beating him.
As the duo jogged away, Kurozai began to laugh at the perverted general's misfortune. It was good to be king. "Alright, Mittlet, take Asia home. I gotta head out to meet with YAWWWNNN meet with Rias to pay her back for the help she gave us." Kurozai ordered. "Oh and Kala, uhh… go wash the sand out of your eyes please. Dismissed."
Kurozai jogged away, heading to Kuoh Academy.
Kalawarna, now without Kurozai around, flopped onto the ground and writhed in pain from the sand in her eyes.
Mittlet just sighed and led the red general to the closest water fountain to wash out her eyes.
-OVERLORD-
Kurozai walked up the stairs in the old school building. 'Man, what a good training day. Heh, maybe by the time Issei's done I can get in a little sword practice between myself, him and Kiba.' Kurozai thought to himself, but then sighed and shook his head. 'Oh who am I kidding. Poor bastard might pass out on the way home. I'll let him rest up for a few days. But maybe the sword was a mistake, he seemed to do more damage with his fists. Browns are better in cqc.'
Kurozai's musings stopped as he got to the door, then grinned devilishly. 'I think I'm long overdue a scare. If I remember right, Rias is alone right now. Hehehe, I can just open the door and scream. Hahaha! Perfect!'
Kurozai's grin was replaced with a warm smile as he gripped the door and ripped it open.
"BOOOOOoooooo….ooo…..o?" He shouted at the room before he finally looked at Rias.
Kurozai's heart pumped as time seemed to slow down as he shut his eyes. He forgot the one oddity that was added to this room long before his desk was, and he was a fool for forgetting it.
Rias had been completely naked, getting dressed in the main room after a shower. The shower that was only three feet away from her.
Outside, Akeno was coming back early from a contract, ready to either pick up another or just hang out with Rias.
As she approached the building, Kurozai shot out covering his eyes. "IM SORRY IM SORRY IM SORRY IM SORRY IM SORRY IM SORRY-" he shouted running away from the club.
Rias, who was sloppily dressed, exited only a moment after. "KUROZAI WAIT! I FORGOT YOU WERE COMING OVER!" She shouted, however her words failed to reach the Overlord, as he was already past the main gate. The Devil groaned and knocked her head against the door frame. "I have to remember to stop changing in the main room."
Akeno giggled at her best friend. "Trouble in paradise, miss?" Rias' eyes shot open and looked at her queen before sheepishly laughing.
"Yeah. I forgot Kurozai was coming, he said he wanted to talk about us having assisted him with the fellowship. However, because I forgot, I decided to change in the main room." Rias explained as Akeno pushed past her and inside.
"Well, did he knock?" Akeno asked as the duo walked back upstairs. That gave Rias pause. She recalled that she had just dropped her towel and was putting on her panties when the door shot open and Kurozai was yelling something starting with B.
"He didn't, now that you mention it." Rias admitted while Akeno opened the door for her. The two devil's entered and sat down on their own sofa.
"He usually knocks. Odd." Akeno spoke as she prepared tea for when Kurozai would return.
"He does… Oh well, I'll call him and tell him to come back."
-DXD-
"Come on Over~"
"Right, over here!"
"The wars not over~"
"No, not yet!"
Dohnaseek and Issei were on their second lap, almost to their third, around the city. The ex-fallen was singing cadence as the two jogged.
Dohnaseek heard something behind him and turned around to see Kurozai blitz past them yelling "IM SORRY" over and over.
An odd moment to be sure… but the ex-fallen shrugged and carried on. "Put your weapon next to mine!"
"Dress, Right Dress!"
-OVERLORD-
Kurozai walked up the stairs of the old building again. This time with a mad blush on his face, and his armor covering his body.
Rias' body was plastered in his mind and he struggled to get it out, and it was affecting his thoughts. Or more accurately, IN-fecting.
'Oh~ Kurozai~' The memory of Rias in his head moaned out, causing the Overlord to grip the railing and nearly splinter it in his hand, nearly tripping in doing so.
'This is just a Plague infecting my mind. I've pushed past these thoughts before… except I didn't have any images to go with it.' The Overlord thought to himself. 'I've become the very thing I sought to destroy! A pervert! Next thing you know I'm drilling peepholes and… actually wait no. That's fucking stupid Kurozai.'
The Overlord released the railing and continued his way into the club room. He had been called back by Rias, after he profusely apologized and explained his case. She had laughed, the same kind of laugh that made Kurozai giddy like a kid in a candy shop. The same laugh that-
'Oh~ Kurozai~'
"GRAAAAAAAAAA I AM NOT A PERVERT!" Kurozai yelled to the heavens.
"Good. Because one is enough. Now are you gonna move or am I going to push you?"
Kurozai turned around and looked down at Koneko wearing a… "Pfft"
"If you start laughing Kurozai I'm gonna hit you." Koneko said as she pushed down some ruffles in her maids dress. "The contract I was at today was for a guy who does cosplay. He let me keep the suit as payment for taking photos with him. He wore a butler suit, now move knighty or I'm going to watch you fall."
Kurozai stifled his laughter and continued up the stairs. Man, that was good he even forgot what he was-
'Oh~ K-'
'ENOUGH!!!!!' Kurozai mentally yelled at the Rias and moved her out of his head.
The duo entered the club room to a, thankfully, clothed Rias and Akeno.
"Ah good, Kurozai, you're here. You said you wanted to talk about our partnership?" Rias asked as she was seated behind her desk, Akeno standing to her right.
Kurozai flopped down onto the couch on his left, and felt it creak from his armor's weight. But he wouldn't let it vanish. He wouldn't be outed as a pervert.
"Yes I did. I wanted to talk about your compensation. Kiba had mentioned something about you losing a contract client and considering that with your involvement during the battle. I had an idea." Kurozai admitted before having to dismissed a thigh plate to grab something from his pocket, and resummoned it once he had the item.
It was one of the fliers Rias had her familiar pass out around town. "I uh.. wanted to make a contract." Kurozai admitted, before having to dodge a tackle hug from Akeno.
"Oh Kurozai, you'll pick me right? Please?" Akeno squealed with big eyes as she got up and clung to his left arm.
"Akeno, personal space please?" Kurozai asked, snapping the devil out of her spell and back to professional mode.
"S-Sorry." Akeno apologized and got back behind Rias. Embarrassed that she got out of control again. With that over, Kurozai handed the paper to Rias.
"But I wanted to make a contract with you. We can work together and I'll help pay back what I owe you." Kurozai explained to a surprised Rias.
"I see… Very well then Kurozai, however this isn't how it works." Rias informed the Overlord and handed the flier back. "I'll accept the terms, but you must go through the proper channels. I am free later tonight, around 9 pm. Summon me using the flier and a drop of blood. You'll need to say my name for specifics, or someone else might get summoned. Remember, just a drop of blood will do."
Kurozai nodded and put the flier away. "Okay I got it. Prick of the finger, drop on the paper, chant your name or I get Akeno or Kiba. I gotta make a salt circle too?" Kurozai joked, earning a laugh from the three females in the room.
"Not unless you're trapping me then no, you'll be fine." Rias waved the joke off as she laughed. "But other than that you're set to go. Do you need anything else?"
Kurozai pondered for a moment before snapping his fingers and pointing at Koneko. "I need Koneko to help me train Issei next Sunday."
Rias, curious, inquired further. "For what purpose? I thought you and Kiba were training him."
Kurozai nervously chuckled and scratched the back of his head. "It seems he's better with CQC than swordplay if his fight with that strapped slut and Malady are evidence enough. If I keep putting him through that and he doesn't use his sword then I'd be stifling his fighting prowess. We'll still teach him how to defend against swords, but I think if I focused him into fighting with his fists, he'll hold his own better. And then if we can do that, Asia won't be glued to him and I can teach her how to atleast disarm someone." The Overlord explained.
Rias thought for a moment, but her thoughts were interrupted by a rune on her desk. "We can talk more about it later. Akeno, keep an eye on the building while I'm gone. I'm going to be as quick as I can be." And with that, Rias was gone in a flash of crimson light.
With nothing more, Kurozai made his exit, wanting to go take a cold shower to try and purge any thoughts from his mind before he had Rias over.
-DXD-
Kurozai bounced a small ball around his room, pre-made tape targets lining the walls. His current goal was to either turn the lights off, or hit someone in the head when they walked in.
So far he had hit Mittlet twice when she brought him some papers describing some damages that the minions caused during an outing. The Overlord was thankful that the police force in town was in the Gremory family pocket.
However, that made Kurozai wonder. Just how much of Kuoh was under Rias' control, or her family for that matter.
This led Kurozai to write down a list of places he thought were under the Gremory thumb. 'Police. School. Housing.' were on the list. But there must be more.
However, Kurozai got bored thinking about the subject, and that was around the time he grabbed the ball. Which was thirty minutes ago.
Kurozai's alarm clock blared next his bed, announcing it was time to summon Rias.
The Overlord grabbed the paper and laid it out onto the floor.
Kurozai grabbed his sword behind him and gently poked his index finger, drawing a single drop of blood.
The droplet fell onto the paper and caused the intricate rune to glow with power.
Kurozai kneeled onto the ground and began to chant in a whisper. "Rias Gremory, Rias Gremory, Rias Gremory."
With the steps fulfilled and blood offered, the glowing rune burst from the paper and began to swirl with energy.
Slowly the energy collected into a ball and spun until it stopped.
The light fizzled out, darkening Kurozai's room.
The Overlord grabbed the paper and looked on both sides every half second. As though something would change.
Then it glowed once more and the room filled with an even brighter light.
And when the light dimmed, Kurozai was gone.
-OVERLORD-
Kurozai screamed and flailed about as he was dragged through a strange tunnel.
The Overlord saw the light that snatched him and braced for impact.
The tunnel vanished and Kurozai came flying out and crashing into a coffee table, shattering the wooden object.
"ow… fuck" Kurozai groaned as he stood up and cracked his back.
"Kurozai?"
The Overlord mentioned opened his eyes. He was in the club room again. The one who called his name was Rias, next to her was Akeno and a … french maid?
She wore a blue maids outfit with a long dress. Her white hair rested up on her slightly tanned skin and a maids headband sat atop her head.
"Uhh… your summoning circle is broken." Kurozai chuckled nervously.
The maid raised an eyebrow at the comment. "Rias, who is this? A contract of yours?"
Rias moved to respond but Kurozai spoke first. "No, I'm the milk man actually. Would you like Whole, 5% or chocolate? Don't ask about almond, I have yet to find an udder on it to milk."
The maid visibly bristled at the joke, while Rias and Akeno snickered at it.
"Who are you? Your mortal, but know about summoning circles, are you a wizard?" The maid inquired, this time a little more forcefully.
Kurozai scoffed, "Listen lady, I don't know what maid cafe you ran from, but I'm not here to talk to the rejected Mary Poppins." The Overlord said dismissing the woman and turning his attention to the local Devil Matriarch. "So, Rias since I got dragged here we can talk about our deal here."
"Excuse me! You still have-" the maid moved to speak again but Kurozai just waved her off.
"Your excused. Leave." Kurozai said, not even bothering to give a glance at the Maid. "Now. I appreciate the help you gave us, as such I owe you one. So if in the future you got need of the strongest Overlord, let me know."
The maid was stunned at the casual dropping of the notorious title. That shock was turned to mild annoyance. "I see…"
Kurozai turned to the maid and crossed his arms as she moved to the other end of the broken table.
The two stood across from each other. Devil glaring at Overlord and receiving the same in kind.
"I'm sorry to be the first inform you Overlord, but Rias will not be able to accept any assistance from you anytime soon."
"And who are you to say such? You Rias' mom?"
"No. I am Grayfia, Queen to the current reigning Lucifer, Sir Zechs."
"... And why is that important?"
Rias spoke up, standing from her desk and to the side of the ruined table between the two. "Sir Zechs is my older brother, Kurozai. But Grayfia was just leaving. Right?" Rias asked, somewhat pleadingly, wanting to de-escalate the situation the odd event spawned.
"I apologize Rias, but I can't leave yet. I must have confirmation your ready for next month."
This piqued Kurozai's interest. "Ready for what?" He asked, looking back and forth from Rias and Grayfia.
"Rias's wedding."
On the outside, Kurozai's jaw clenched and his glare hardened into something that wished for violence. His eyes bore into Grayfia's, and an outline of his armor surrounded him. He clenched his fist and could feel his muscles straining under the pull.
On the inside, a different story was taking place. Kurozai was crushed. Yet again, a girl he had been attracted to was with someone else. Kurozai beat the mist covered ground inside of his mind as his Overlord half consoled the young man.
Kurozai held back a growl and began to press for answers. The time to joke was past and he didn't expect God do all the work.
"Why is this the first I've heard of this? If Rias was engaged, or hell, even in a relationship, I feel like someone would have informed me." Kurozai asked as he began to walk around Grayfia. Almost like a predator prowling around smaller prey.
"It's because it's confidential information. It doesn't exactly pertain to any goals an overlord would have." She said looking straight forward, not wanting to give into Kurozai's intimidation tactic.
"It doesn't seem confidential. Otherwise you would have said it." Kurozai spat.
"The confidental portion is the Who. And why do you want to know so bad? What could this have to do with an Overlord? Much less one like you."
"Because I'm concerned? Or would you rather I just be nosey? Hm? Maybe I should just ask her outright? Or am I going to have to go through the 15# worst cosplayer I've ever seen?"
"I'd recommend holding that tongue you love to flap about if you want even a chance to be an ally of hell."
"Why are you deflecting? Who is she engaged to?" Kurozai pressed further.
"I'm not going to tell you, so I'd recommend you drop the subject and leave before something happens."
Grayfia cursed herself mentally, knowing she had taken a misstep once Kurozai got into her face.
The two were at equal height, meaning the only thing the other saw was their eyes. Kurozai's, slowly turning into flames, and Grayfia's holding strong.
"Is that a Threat?" Kurozai asked in a low and hushed tone.
Rias got in-between the two, pushing Kurozai away from Grayfia. "Enough you two, Please! Grayfia, please let Riser know I will not be partaking in this marriage."
Grayfia turned her gaze away from Kurozai, who visibly sagged in relief.
Akeno, who had been silent the whole time walked to Kurozai's side and tapped on his shoulder. "As much as I appreciate you being here Kurozai, I believe you should go before things get worse."
Kurozai just shook his head in response and stood tall. Not leaving till he had all of the information.
At that moment, Kurozai tuned back into Rias' conversation. "As you can See Grayfia, I don't believe Riser is going to be quite popular here. Infact I don't think you are either. But-"
"I'm sorry Rias, but there is nothing you can do. Your Parents and the heads of the Phenix family have already agreed to this arranged marriage."
Kurozai stepped forward, the remains of the table crunching beneath his feet.
"And what if she doesn't want to marry some random dude?"
[NEXT TIME!]
Kurozai regains his composure after an argument with Grayfia.
Rias comes to Kurozai's home and has a shocking request?
Kurozai and Rias walk to school the next day.
And Kurozai pisses off a Blond haired man?
In the first part of the final arc to season 1 of Overlord DxD,
