"AARRRGH! THIS SUCKS!"

A loud, furious shriek roared forth from the owner's lips, the said owner slamming both her fists onto her desk which created a pair of loud BANG sounds, sounds so unified that they may as well have been one. The owner had just enough restraint not to pour her supernatural strength into the blow as much as that would have been cathartic to her current senses, her reasoning for holding back being that everything in the room that she was in had been paid for by her family, specifically her father and she did NOT want to irk him with unnecessary repair costs born from her temper tantrum.

The owner stood up from her desk after crashing her fists onto it, throwing aside several stacks of documents (much to her chagrin, but right now the owner just didn't give a shit) which fell to the ground in a messy clutter. The room itself looked to be very spacious, with a crimson carpet-covered floor attached to maroon-painted walls and ceiling with one of the more noticeable features being the occult-like magical circle off to the side, behind a two-seater green sofa. The sofa itself stood beside a long table that had several other sofas orbiting it on 3 of its four sides, with a single entrance opposite the desk that had a single nameplate atop it: Occult Research Club (ORC) Clubroom'.

Furthermore, the owner wasn't alone in the room as far to her side stood her most loyal servant and second in command of her peerage, her 'queen'. She stood by the wall next to the shower room, silent as a board yet clutching a circular tray tightly enough that it could have cracked the metal within since she could understand her 'king's fury all too well. It was a feeling that was shared with herself after all, she just hid hers better than the naturally emotional redhead king who currently engaged herself with slow breathing exercises to quel her throbbing temper.

"PANT…PANT…PANT…"

Now there was something that had to be said about the… 'uniqueness' behind this situation. There was very little that could throw Rias Gremory off her game and make her lose her cool like the way she was doing right now. As one of Kuoh's great ladies alongside her Queen, as the heiress of a powerful Duke-class Devil Clan and as the sister to the Satan blessed with the 'Lucifer' name, Rias had grown up with many privileges such as advanced education befitting of someone with status like herself. She'd learned since young to be patient and to keep her cool, something which often clashed with her Gremory nature that was more on the emotional side of the emotional spectrum.

It didn't help that the Devils themselves were creatures of desire and emotion, they were practically a race based on that principle. What that meant was that they acted solely according to their desires for better or for worse, the complete antithesis to te Angels who regarded order and discipline being more important than their own feelings. This also meant that they felt such emotions on a greater level compared to other races, a simple prick for a human may as well be like getting stabbed by a knife by a Devil. Worse was that their society revolved entirely around business contracts which usually required participants to be of level, sound mind. These factors resulted in a woman who knew how to keep calm under stressful situations which had been why she had been allowed to possess her batch of evil pieces.

This all meant that it required a particularly unique scenario to pop the veins across her forehead.

That didn't mean such scenarios didn't exist though, the first one that came to mind would be a certain blonde haired, arrogant Devil from a family inspired from a certain flamig bird. Practically ANYTHING that was connected to that insufferable jerk and by extension his entire 'family' would set her blood alight with the fury of a thousand vengeful souls wanting to drag their aggression's targets into eternal damnation, something which had once been a favored past time for many Devils in the past. Her own family wasn't any exception to this ancient, outdated custom that was banned only after the second world war when human rights groups began to rise.

As for the second one…

"THOSE DAMN HELLSING DOGS! THINKING THEY CAN JUST WALTZ IN HERE AND TAKE WHAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE MINE!"

…Yeah, the point was already made clear by the crimson haired ruin princess.

Rias herself was fuming, no fuming would be an understatement for the amount of hostility she felt towards the organization she had mentioned. In fact, she would be torn on whether or not she hated Hellsing more than that Devil she'd referred to.

There were many reasons for why she hated them, but the main reason had been priorly stated when she had confronted her friend Sona about how they were wrongfully stripped from what had been theirs by agreement.

Business contracts were practically a cornerstone for Devil Society, a Devil grew stronger in power, wealth and prestige the more contracts that he or she secured for themselves. Their society revolved around the trust that was put to pen and paper, it had been that way for thousands of years, even when they were in the business of collecting souls they had made sure to fulfil their ends of the bargain's first as a showcase of good faith, there were reasons why races made deals with them in the first place. A Devil's word was supposed to be their law, so it should go without saying that they expected their companions to also adhere to their agreements no matter what. It was just how devil society worked, breaking a contract or anything within it usually invoked harsh punishments ranging from a certain number of years in torture chambers to downright exile from the Underworld to some of the… darker corners filled with lawlessness and chaos. Places which were the nightmares of which Devils taught their young to fear and to never go if they didn't have a death wish.

Yet what the Shinto faction had done to them by bringing in a foreign European power OTHER than themselves and then just HANDED over the land to them, to the Hellsing Organization… it practically dumped a big fat shit onto their prior contracts.

Every Devil instinct in her screamed in outrage at this, to the point where she could forget about her prior etiquette training's teachings on controlling her emotions. Now if things were just that and Hellsing were shown to be a poor choice for a business partner, maybe Rias wouldn't have been so furious… ok, maybe she would still be furious but if they were incompetent at governing the territory she could at least make her case for reinstating her and Sona as leaders again, maybe even have some extra privileges that she lacked beforehand as compensation for her troubles since the Shinto faction would be the ones on the wrong side of the justice spectrum in this situation, for breaking their word to the Devils the way they had.

However, for the most part, Hellsing wasn't doing much that could showcase them being bad governors. Meaning that Rias didn't have a very strong case against them at all, further vexing her and cementing her fury towards them. If that wasn't bad enough she had learned that the bastards had even recruited ISSEI HYOUDOU, someone she had been intending to recruit into her Peerage for her own goals. She'd made preparations, she'd waited patiently for her opportunity to ensure that reincarnating him would go smoothly, and yet when that damn Fallen Angel tried to kill him she not only failed at her one redeeming purpose in the grand scheme of things but she ALSO lost Issei to the Hellsing agent who had CONVENIENTLY been around the area at the time!

Yeah, convenient her ass. She bet that they were just waiting to pounce on HER target just to spite her.

She had even been watching Issei with her familiar to see if he would see sense and flee from those assholes, as well as to see if they would slip up in some manner she could use to exploit against them. Aside from some incidents in the mall as well as something that happened in the abandoned church though, nothing crept up that she could use. Rias COULD have used whatever happened in the church her gut had once told her, but not only was she busy with her contracts at the time, but her familiar for some reason couldn't get close enough to see what had happened and finally it was over by the time that she had returned from her business. This had happened with various other incidents involving Hellsing, only further fuelling the infernal blaze that was Rias Gremory's fury.

"THIS… (sigh) this cannot go on, Akeno. We need to do something fast." Eventually, her body became wrought with a wave of exhausted fatigue as Rias slumped back onto her chair and buried her face into her slender hands. She addressed the black-haired girl behind her with that statement, and when she did so the girl called Akeno strolled forward till she was beside her King, a pensive look in her eyes despite the practised smile on her lips. "Hellsing has been crapping on what has rightfully belonged to Devils for at least a few years by this point, we can't keep letting them get away with this."

Her queen nodded her head in understanding and agreement with her King, knowing EXACTLY what she was feeling. Akeno herself had been trying to keep tabs on things whenever she could using her familiars, but similar problems had occurred for her as well leading to very little intel gathering.

It wasn't like their other colleagues Koneko, Kiba and he could help either, either they had their contracts to obey or their scouting efforts got hindered by either the stuff happening at the aforementioned incidents or one of the Hellsing Agents. That last one happened to Koneko more than Kiba though, for some reason the Agents could just tell whenever she was watching them and often acted like there wasn't anything wrong with them.

"Even so, the problem we have is that their agents are almost like walls, they hardly give away what they're doing on the outside." Akeno spoke slowly and carefully, cautious about the way she should phrase her words. The wrong thing could send her King on another tirade and even if she was one of Akeno's best friends and benefactors for many years, even she didn't want to deal with that shit. At least when it didn't come from her teasing which led to her satisf ofying the sadistic tendencies she usually suppressed during school hours.

From what little she remembers from her prior observations of the various Hellsing Agents, Akeno had reached quite a conundrum. These agents themselves looked to be the rowdy sort resembling 80's to 90's delinquents. When together they acted like barbaric brutes slugging each other over the slightest insults, leading to one suspecting how they could work so well in battle against a superior foe if they hated one another that much.

However, when they were separated and doing their things it was almost like a switch got flipped in their minds and they began patrolling as diligently as a guard of an important location like a city or a palace belonging to a high-class Devil. Not to mention that she could sense a PLETHORA of different energies from them such as demonic, draconic and some sort of chaotic mess which didn't inspire much confidence in of her abilities to take them on, even with the entirety of the peerage behind her. Each of them held considerable power as well, power that could easily rival if not surpass Rias and herself but more than that they handled themselves less like civilians and more like soldiers, soldiers of a tough and gruelling regime that tolerated next to nothing. Sort of like a few dictatorships she had read about in human history class.

"Have we tried sending our familiars to their base?"

"4 times, Rias, and they all came back spooked, more than the last time at that."

"There HAS to be something…!"

"Yo, Rias."

Just as the redhead started to consider pulling some of her hair out in frustration with Akeno doing her best to try and reign that impulse in, a young and blunt-sounding voice reached their ears. Before long, they looked up to see someone come in through the doorway, that being a small petite girl wearing the Kuoh girls uniform. Her hair reached her neck in length whilst her almost feline-like hazel eyes bore into theirs with a dull indifference… at least on the surface. Who knew what she was feeling deeper inside, the girl seemingly had ample experience hiding such things from others.

The sight of her did cause a relieved smile to break out on the two older girls' faces though, for entirely different reasons depending on who was asked. "Ah, Koneko. You came back early." Rias noted, glancing towards the Clubroom's clock which had a medieval European kind of aesthetic, something which came from her father as a birthday present. She made some mental calculations after looking at the clock for a couple of seconds, before facing the white-haired girl again as she sat down on one of the sofas. "By at least half an hour. Did you finish your contracts?"

"Done and dusted for the day." Koneko responded in the same dull tone, holding out her hands over her lap as if to receive something before what looked like a magic circle formed atop it. Seconds later it erupted into a poof of smoke which promptly faded away, revealing a bag of biscuits that plopped itself onto her waiting hands. Upon feeling their weight in her palms, the young girl proceeded to hold it atop her thighs and peel off the ribbon holding the top part closed, allowing her to slide her hand in and bring outsatisfyingcuits, proceeding to quietly chomp on them. "Oh, and I took a detour."

While internally sweatdropping at the usual bluntness from their resident loli, Rias' eyes glinted with curiosity when she heard the word 'detour' come from Koneko's lips. Giving her 'Rook' a similarly-looking gaze, Rias decided to inquire as to the meaning of that detour of hers. "And what was this detour you speak of?"

"To Hellsing's base."

"Wha-What?!"

Koneko's nonchalant response sent a wave of shock and confusion throughout the clubroom, taking both Rias AND Akeno (who had her right hand covering her lips with its' fingertips in a ladylike manner) by storm. The redhead's mouth hung open in silent disbelief as she tried to process what had been said to her, before running through the records that were her memories to see if she had ever requested Koneko to go near that place. Finding none, Rias proceeded to then narrow her eyes at her subordinate. "Care to explain why, Koneko? I'm sure I never gave you permission to approach a place Devils consider as hostile as the church."

Just from the tone she used, one could tell that Rias was most displeased with her Rook's impromptu decision. "Felt something off over there, went to investigate." Koneko replied as easily as she breathed, not losing her cool even under the piercing gaze that her King sported. "Turns out that their barrier's broke." she stated further

Now THIS drew both the King AND Queen's attention, their brows shooting upwards at the admission that was made to them. Hellsing's barrier had broke? What the hell happened to make that happen? None of them assumed that Koneko was lying with her words, Devils had a sixth sense for such things after being in so many contracts. But from what they kn themew of the leader of the branch Meredith Ordinton was someone who specialized in setting up barriers. She had been the spearhead behind countless reforms to the town's security and trade deals since day one, so someone like her… they couldn't see her as the type of someone who'd make a faulty barrier.

Still… didn't this present an important opportunity…?

This thought slipped into Rias' mind almost sinfully, even by Devi's standards. The cogs in her mind b,egan to turn as she pondered on this information, a small yet noticeable smile forming on her lips which practically SCREAMED that she had gone into scheme mode, a natural smile for a Devil like her. 'Interesting… if their barrier's broken and my sources are right, then Issei should be ripe for the taking still. He will likely not be very well guarded since he is just someone being tained at Hellsing's base to protect his family and loved ones I'd wager. Meaning that I could…' such thoughts flowed around inside Rias' brain, resulting in the observing girls sweat dropping.

Though they were Devils, even they couldn't not note the similarities to an evil mastermind they saw within their King.

But whatever Rias was thinking….it cannot end well.

Hyoudou Household - Issei's room

"Hey Asia, how are you doing? I was calling to check up on you, to see how you're doing." A familiar pervert gleefully declared, having his phone pressed against his ear with a wide grin on his lips. His chest felt rather light, causing him to excitedly pace around his room though considering how it had been late in the evening Issei had made sure to keep it quiet so he didn't disturb his parents.

Though it was late in the evening, there were several changes that had been made to the boy.

One of those was Issei's wardrobe of clothes, consisting of a black mantled trench coat paired with a long sleeved red shirt and black jeans, his feet being covered by a pair of grey socks with darker toes and soles. His footwear remained down by the household's entrance, them being a pair of polished dress shoes whilst a choker could be seen around his neck. His hairstyle had changed too, becoming more spiky and 'wild', like an untamed beast though it remained brown for the most part.

Strangely enough there seemed to be a tinge of red near the scalp, but it wasn't very noticeable.

As for how he had acquired these clothes, that story revolved around a certain trio of emo edgelord assholes who just LOVED to put him through the wringer. Issei had to shudder at the memory of Theseus, Vali and Kuroh dragging him out to the mall to try out various dar and edgy outfits that somewhat made him want to cringe or vomit at the sight of. However, the way that the boys eyed him as if they would butcher him if he actually acted on those feelings scared them out of him. According to the Shark King it had been something of a rite of passage for the male, since Issei was likely someone who would just wear his school uniform to every single damn thing like he didn't have anything else in his wardrobe, and whatever stuff he DID have made him look like a wimp.

Anyways, back to the present.

"Oh I'm actually doing fine Issei, thanks for calling me though. I appreciate it."

From the other side of the phone line, Issei could hear Asia's soothing and angelic voice even now still sent his soul into a fit of souring bliss. He didn't think he could ever get use to Asia's angelic voice and he didn't want to, especially when he thought about how the transformation had affected the blonde former nun in that it actually modified her voice somewhat. Whereas her voice had been rather squeaky and girly before, now her voice sounded more mature and womanly, like a warm mother who would tend to her children even in the darkest of times.

Issei smiled at her tone before walking around. "How are the Excorists treating you? Have they taught you about some stuff or anything that's useful?" Issei asked the saint, wondering if those red hulks had taught her anything about her new abilities. Issei still remained wary about those red juggernauts since they almost look like those…..those bastards he would rather not ever think of again, but the fact that they hadn't done anything untoward to him or Asia meant that he'd stay his hand for the time being.

"Oh, they have been absolutely wonderful, Issei. Their teachings have really helped me with the these powers the lord bestowed upon me. Its been really beneficial to me and I'm slowly getting used to this power."

The basic rundown of her abilities was summarized in short order by the blonde former nun over the phone. In essence, she had gained the ability to turn into that second form she'd assumed back at the abandoned church at will, wherein she could harness the power of what she called 'holy fire' which was essentially this pure white fire that had almost divine-levels of holy element imbued within them, which made it an excellent tool to use against Devils or similarly aligned entities. Add in the light manipulation that all angels specialized in, and Asia could potentially be a nightmare for any Devil who tried to have his or her way with her… and these powers were apparently still usable even if she were not in that angelic form of hers.

One she had decided to coin as her 'Angel Trigger'.

"Thats good, I'm really proud of you Asia." Issei nodded his head, proud of Asia making progress with her newfound abilities. It gave him solace, the thought that his companion would be able to defend herself in this world after so long of being used by it like some old ass washcloth. "Well I hope I'm not asking you too many questions, but how are you doing with the church? Was there anything you had problems with?" He again questioned, a pensive look settling onto his features.

Thinking back to shortly after the whole incident had been settled, Issei recalled one time when he had asked Theseus about what would happen to the church if Asia was going to be participating in her daily prayers and activities. The blonde at the time had answered him instead of being an asshole, explaining how there was plans floating around regarding about the restoration the church, as a sign of good faith from Meredith, something which the exorcist deeply appreciated from their new leader.

ESPECIALLY since she intended on fully follow through with such claims un,like a lot of politicians.

"Its alright, I don't mind Issei." Asia assured him, and it wasn't a lie. She really didn't mind him asking too many questions regarding about her new personal life. "I've been participating in several church activities and helping people with their struggles by offering guidance from the lord himself, helping them see his divine light. Many people really appreciate my teachings…" If Issei were right next to her right now, he would see her offer a confused and sweaty smile amidst sweat dropping. "I think I lost count how many they asked for my hand in marriage. I'm not sure how to react to that, but whenever they ask that question, they get scared all of a sudden before leaving."

IMMEDIATELY Issei's eyes narrowed as a spark of possessive jealousy swelled within his chest. "Oh trust me, I think their minds went haywire before they realized what they said." He spoke in a deep, draconic voice through a growl, his eyes sharpening wilst his knuckles cracked under his grip's pressure. Hyoudou already had a feeling those red hulks were behind those instances, making sure that people wouldn't take advantage of Asia's purity. The brunette could easily imagine what they would do if anyone dared try anything with her.

Shaking his head to get rid of those thoughts, Issei sighed through his nostrils. He could be sure that the Exorcists could protect Asia whenever he wasn't around, and afterwards he placed a smile back onto his face before said the following. "Alright, well its nice chatting with you Asia. Maybe when you get the chance later we can hang out someday if you want." The thought of spending some time with his first-ever female friend lifted Issei's spirit more than he cared to admit.

"Oh I'd love to Issei! I'll check on with Mister Aymir to see when I can be available and if he says yes I'll let you know."

"Alrighty then. I'll you next time or tomorrow if I plan to visit the church."

"Farewell Issei, may God be with you."

CLICK!

Their conversation concluded, Issei hung up the phone and turned it off by pressing it's power button. Raising his head, his gaze cast itself towards his room's window to the night skies above. 'I'd wager that its about 10PM, need to head to bed now.' the brunette thought, a yawn escaping his lips. Maybe he could have checked the time on his phone before turning it off, oh well.

Plumping himself down onto his bed, Issei sat straight for a moment before he finally fell backwards, rearranging himself so that he resembled a star. He stared up at the ceiling for a bit, almost admiring it before his eyes began slowly closing under the influence of his fatigue. Normally he would have stayed up a little longer for gaming purposes (he used to do that simply for porn, but thanks to… what happened, that was no longer as appealing to him now) but Issei had the feeling that he best get to bed early. Tomorrow was likely going to be another big day.

Just when he was about to head to the realm of dreams.

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

"ISSEI!" his descent got stopped abruptly however, when an older yet unfamiliar feminine voice cried out to him, interrupting his sleep.

The brunette practically jumped from his bed and the volume the voice had spoken with, his form flailing about like a headless chicken as he frantically glance back and forth. "Who-the-what-now?!" he sprouted in gibberish language and grammar, before trying to find out the culprit who called for him. "Who said that?!"

Soon enough Issei got his answer when a magic circle conjured itself in to existence in the middle of his bedroom. Issei was confused about the sudden action, his brain struggling to process the situation due to it's fatigued state. However, he could still tell that it was a red magic circle that displayed some kind of sigil in the middle of it, something which seemed somewhat familiar to him in that he remembered Meredith sometimes using them. But this one seemed completely unlike the ones she used, bringing back that alien feeling.

Although what followed it's formation got rid of his prior fatigue REAL fast. From it, out came a beautiful red-haired girl who literally jumped on Issei. The girl in question had her hair reaching her thighs in length like endless rivers of crimson blood, her bluish green eyes open and gazing intently down towards him. Her attire of which he had been used to seeing her in, her Kuoh Academy Girls' school uniform, was nowhere to be seen and instead she wore a simple shirt that barely reached her thighs in length. The shirt clung to her figure like a second skin, accentuating her almost hourglass curves in all the right places whilst it's ruffled and dishevelled appearance almost skyrocketed it's erotic appeal…

Appeal which was helped by the HUMONGOUS OPPAI! The best thing he had seen all day.

The moment he saw her however, those perverse fantasies he had long since gotten used to having got washed away by something much more important. His eyes literally bugged out in realization of who this person actually was, a new wave of… something, washing over him. What it was, he wasn't sure due to the shock and disbelief dominating him. "Rias Gremory?!" He called out her name, pointing a shaking finger towards her as he quickly scooted back a few inches away from her till his upper body hit the back of his bedside. "What are you doing here!? Or better yet what the hell are yo-"

"There's no time!" The newly revealed Rias Gremory interrupted him, getting Issei to shut up with the urgency in her voice. Though his face broke into a massive amount of sweat upon seeing her get closer to him after crawling onto his bed on all fours till she was above him and leaning over his face.

'Oh man, oh man what do I do! What should I do! A girl is never this close to me before!' The pervert boy frantically thought with his eyes shaking violently, literally on the edge of a panic attack. What the hell was happening here?! This was something he'd only seen in his fantasies and porno mags, goddamnit! As much as he wanted to Issei just couldn't help but exclaim his disbelief over this situation. He just KNEW that girls normally didn't act this way unless they were a tiktok thot or a porn star!

It wasn't long until she said the following, which sent Issei's mind into stunned silence. "Please take my virginity!"

…

…

…

…

"...WHAT THE FUCK?!" The silence didn't last long as Issei erupted into a stunned roar that reflected his surprise and disbelief regarding this situation. His emotional reaction had been so extreme that he had even lost his balance and fell from his bed and hit his head. He ignored the pain and instead pointed at him. "You want me to what?!"

Again Rias ignored his question and inched over to him, crawling off the bed so that she once more loomed over him. "Please, I'm begging you Issei!" She again urged her eyes basically pleading with him not to ask any questions and just do as she said.

Nevertheless she couldn't move forwards due to the brunette basically not going straight down that route. Issei again attempted to try and defuse the situation here if only to preserve his own sanity. "Wait hold on, I-I-I-uhhhhhhh." Issei tried to say, though thanks to the situation he kept losing control of his voice, to which he struggled to formulate a proper sentence. His mouth kept opening and closing with no words coming out.

Two things were happening right now.

One was Issei still trying to grasp the situation here but his hormone brain demands that he follows her wishes. Two, Rias was literally flashing her big breast over his face like a sexy enchantress trying to seduce her victim, hypnoticing him with their bouncy, supple forms. From his many porn vids Issei judged that these ones were well maintained, but then his rational side briefly took control to remind him of the situation.

That rationality got suppressed quickly thanks to the third thing that happened, yhat being the sight of Rias unbuttoning her shirts' buttons, exposing her bra to him and revealing the real size of her chest. 'Holy fuck those are huge! Not has huge as Kuroka's, but those are humongous!'

Rias, seeing how Issei wasn't resisting her moves, put on a seductive expression on her face before she got closer to the pervert who looked to be locked in some kind of titanic inner battle. It wouldn't be long before she completely had him under her thumb. "Don't worry Issei, it'll be all over. Just…relax."

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

BOOM!

That is until thunder struck near Issei's house, making the both of them jump. Rias looked at the window and saw there was a bit of flash outside. "What that lightning? But how is that possible, there shouldn't be any rain today."

The brunette processed the information, his brain cells was working in millions of ways before he widened his eyes and paled. "Oh…..no." He spoke in a low and scared tone. He wasn't an idiot, that storm had enough rage in it that it reminded him of one person, and he knew that only ONE person could generate such a storm so abruptly, his skin losing all color as a result with the image of that person entering his mind. Panic flooded his chest as he looked back to the dumbstruck Rias, his own flooded with emotional urgency as he hurried to try and prevent something horrific from happening. "Rias you need to leave. Now! Before it's too late!" Issei tried to warn the red-haired girl, grasping her by the shoulders and holding her a fair distance from him.

The red-haired girl blinked in confusion at Lssei's sudden change in tone and skin complexion. What was it that was scaring him, was it due to lightning or something else? "What do you mean Issei?" she questioned dumbly, still a bit caught off guard from the abrupt changes to the situation

Issei quickly got off from the ground and looked everywhere for a long moment, before his gaze fell back onto the confused girl. "There's no time Rias! you need to leave now or el-?!" Whatever he was going to say was not able to leave his lips, since in mid-sentence he froze at the spot and slowly looked, his face getting paler by the second, almost corpse-like. "Oh no…. it's too late." He spoke in a low tone.

"He's here."

Following a sudden and drastic lowering of the atmosphere's temperature, inflicting chills across her body like she were naked amidst a snowstorm, a large and imposing figure loomed over Rias from behind, the said redhead still sporting her confused expression. Before long, the red-haired girl widened her eyes to the size of dinner plates, her mouth seemingly freezing itself shut whilst sweat dripped from her forehead by the gallons, fear and terror mixing together into a deadly toxic concoction within her chest, chills practically playing hot potato across her back.

Despite her fears screaming at her not to, Rias slowly turned her head to look behind her, or rather it was more accurate to say that her mind DEMANDED that she didn't yet her body ignored it.

Once Rias had shifted her gaze upwards, she saw what she could only define as…..

DEATH

She saw DEATH itself.

The figure who loomed seemingly larger than life itself, was completely cloaked in darkness akin to the deepest part of the abyss, making it almost impossible for her to ascertain ANY of it's features or even it's gender. Like the personification of death had no need for such things. Only two things could be seen about the figure and those things Rias would really would rather have NOT seen at any point in her life: two beady, sea green pits that she could only guess were 'eyes' that bore down on her with a look of sheer, unbridled fury. Of an animal about to send her on a free, one-way trip to the afterlife she would never return from.

The hidden figure literally looked like a giant in Rias eyes.

BOOM!

Thunder struck again and this time the figure revealed to be Theseus in his sharpened gaze upon the very soul of Rias. His eyes, glowing bright with the power of the storms generated by his Sacred Gear lit up the room when they increased their intensity, resulting in a sea green aura enveloping the male and illuminating the room. This allowed the onlookers to witness his mouth twist into a downright bloodthirsty snarl that ripped itself free of his throat like the claws of the devil breaking free from the shackles that bound it to the sea of cocytus.

"YOU… WHORE…"

Two words DRIPPING with toxic venom that surpassed even the green barking toads in potency left the male's lips, clouds of vapor leaving his mouth that were sea green in color, filling the atmosphere with a sense of humidity like they were within a storm. In his right hand lay the blonde mass of vengeance's signature Trident, glistening with water droplets that covered both the shaft and the blade. Theseus lifted his trident, the blade gleams with light, emitting some noise like an eerie sound.

When he saw this male lift his trident, Issei widened his eyes in horror as images of what would surely come next if he didn't do anything played out in mind.

"WAIT! THESEUS, STOP! DON'T DO IT!" Issei screamed, he screamed louder than he had ever thought possible to the point where he wondered if even a female could reach such high octaves. Or even those mythical sirens that were said to drag sailors to the ocean depths to feed on them. Perhaps that his efforts showcased just how desperately he did NOT want Theseus to do what he KNEW he would be doing in the next few seconto ds, he didn't want to see someone's body get skewered after having had such a good day. Worse was that he worried for Rias' safety, the dude looked like he was going out for blood.

The blonde didn't listen to the boy and swing his trident down at Rias terrified expression. Making Issei scream.

"NOOOOOOOOO!"

SNAP!

….. luckily, there was someone else who managed to stop trident from skewering Lucifers little sister by grasping onto it's shaft just beneath the blade, saving her from her life-threatening situation.

"Whoa there, kiddo. I think you need to calm down for a bit."

A muscular voice broke through the silence dominating Issei's room. Theseus widened his eyes before slowly shifting his mad gaze towards his left, where the person who stopped him from killing executing the devil where she stood.

From there, he bore witness to the former vice-general of the Shinsengumi. "Or else you would've done something that jeoperdize the entire mission up front." Hijikata Toshizou declared, shadows hiding everything save for a single eye which was currently enjoying the task of aiming a hardened glare in Theseus' direction, matched well with his stoic expression.

"...What are you doing here, Toshizou?" Theseus simply asked the samurai while trying to break his Trident out of his grip. The way his voice spoke, laced with the rampaging chaotic power that he commanded turning his voice goddamn demonic, echoing throughout the room like the judge of the damned condemning a soul to eternal damnation.

Nevertheless, Hijikata never let go of the dude's Trident which currently shook within his firm grip. Despite the roplets making the surface quite smooth, the fact that the former vice general could keep it in place spoke volumes about the strength he exerted, his lips pursing together into a scowl. "Stopping you from killing Gremory's little sister. I knew something was up when that storm appeared out of nowhere, there's only one person capable of doing that, you." The samurai simply said to the angry boy, who remained unfazed by his power or tone. "You and I both know what the outcome will be, so you need to calm down." Soon dark aura surrounds Toshizo, breaking the imposing pressure Theseus conjured, though unlike the shark king's Hijikata's was only aimed at him. The former vice-general was gripping his trident hard, veins bulging across the limb as the polearm trembled violently. "Or things will get messy around here, BOY."

In response, Theseus narrowed his eyes that was aimed at the man in front of him. Normally no one, not even Meredith would ever tell Theseus stop what he was doing. He was a rabid beast, waiting for the opportunity to strike its victims by chomping on their throats before utterly shredding them to bits…

But the way that Toshizou act towards him, and sensing his power was enough to break his own pressure which happened only when around those stronger than him. Theseus had a feeling that the samurai can defeat him despite his own power and skills, purely from hhis own experience fighting in actual wars, not the skirmishes that the blonde was used to.

Thanks to this however, the bloody haze that dominated his mind receded allowing rational thoughts to resurface. His eyes returned to normal as he broke off the grip from Toshizou and turned away from them, growling like an animal. "Grrrrrrrrrrrr…" Clouds of vapor left his mouth, displaying how much anger he has inside of him.

Hijikata crossed his arms, his expression still stoic. "Keeping acting like that and you'll end up in the fish gutter boy." He stated in reprehension of Theseus behavior, of which he didn't approve of like the miliary instructor he used to be.

"Don't tempt me, corpse."

Toshizou shook his head after the blonde's rebuttal and turned to look at the entrance to Issei's room, making the observing people think he was thinking about something. 'Thank God that Requiem exploded in anger when he did, because there would've been a lot more trouble if he didn't...' Hijikata mused, and unbeknownst to the observers his posture somewhat slackened and his mouth settled back into a normal state. They had been grinding against one another hard beforehand, whilst the flames of anger in his own chest dulled to a dim glow that he could ignore…

Just like he usually did on a day to day basis.

"... so that's it?" Before long however, Hijikata's gaze fell back onto Theseus who gave him a hard stare. It wasn't quite a glare nor was it as intense as previously, but the faint glow within his sea green eyes remained. "She's gonna get away with practically stomping over our territory unopposed like a foreign diplomat claiming diplomatic immunity?"

If the fact that this Gremory bitch had done what she had done wasn't bad enough, trying to seduce one of their members from right beneath their noses, the fact that this wench was likely going to get away with it scot-free only fanned the flames of retribution within his chest. They kept the bloody haze present in the back of his mind, made sure that his inner beast didn't quite fully settle down. He could just imagine the smug look on her face when this was all over, knowing that she'd escaped the punishment she righteously deserved.

However, his surprise soon became evident when Hijikata shook his head in response. "No." He uncrossed his arms and sharpened his eyes. "You might think like that but that's hardly the case." He shifted his attention towards the shameful Gremory who looked away due to not being able to meet his gaze, not that he gives a crap about that. "She is in big trouble alright, trying to seduce/attempt to recruit one of ours….into becoming her underling-no, her SLAVE."

Rias widened her eyes before she scowled and attempt to speak out. "Your wrong! I had no intention of doing so-"

A burst of bloodlust and fury erupted from Hijikata whose eyes briefly bulged, silencing the woman before she could finish defending herself. "Save it!" He snapped, shutting Rias up. Her actions had already spoken about her intentions for them. "I don't want to hear any excuse from you, GIRL." Heavy footsteps accompanied him as Hijikata practically STOMPED towards her and again she saw the big imposing figure similar to what Theseus did before. Though Hijikata made it look so much worse. "You're lucky that your brother is head of domestic affairs, because if he wasn't….." He leaned forward, darkness enveloping his face and his eyes glinted in darkness. "Then not even God himself would save you from US." His threat having successfuly scared her into silence, Hijikata leaned back from Rias stunned expression, not caring what she's thinking as he shifted his attention to the room's owner. "Hyoudou!" he called out his name

"YES!" Issei stood up straight an instant like a military soldier.

"Get dressed, we're heading to the manor to discuss this situation in greater detail. Go put on your clothes." he instructed Issei in a military fashion.

"Y-Yes sir!" Issei chanted with a matching military salute, before he proceeded to just do that…

All the while, he wondered how his parents had been able to sleep through all of this. He sure wished he had that talent.

As soon as he puts on his shirt and pants, Theseus waved his hand sideways and a gust of wind surrounds the trio while Rias was still gazing upon them. When the winds had almost consumed them, Theseus looked towards the red head one more time before he spoke the following. "Be prepared Gremory, because today might be the last you'll ever walk this earth."

WHOOSH!

Soon the winds completely vanished, leaving the Redhead girl. alone in the room… wondering just how bad a shitstorm she had caused.
