Guess who's back!
First off, I want to say thank you. Thank you to all who supported me for revealing the truth about myself, were understanding about it and begged me not to quit Fanfiction. I had thought that I would be met with pitchforks and angry hate comments, but you all surprised me. You complimented me for revealing the truth, understood that I was trying to be better and wished me luck in whether or not I would stay on Fanfiction or quit. You guys are the best readers a guy could ask for, because I enjoy Fanfiction. It's a good hobby that takes my mind off anything personal, but lately I had too much on my plate in my life that needed to my attention, so my hiatus had to happen.
I had to deal with a bad infection from a tooth abscess, which resulted in me going to hospital to get surgery done for it to be removed and drained, then spend several days healing before I could get released. And even then, I had to take it easy. There are also other things that needed my attention, but those are personal to me alone.
But now I'm back, and ready to keep cranking out chapters and stories for you guys, to be better than I was before. To learn from my past mistakes.

'I hope Grayfia likes the ring. Diamonds are a girl's best friend, right?' Damian Mammon-Lucifer, grandson of the original Lucifer himself, thought anxiously as he entered his home, built by his own hands for himself and Grayfia. Clutched in his right hand was a small box, containing a ring, but not just any ring... an engagement ring. His nerves were showing given how tightly he was gripping it. Thankfully, he wasn't holding it tight enough for his Devil strench to crush the box.
Was this how his father felt before hr proposed to his mother?
He had been with Grayfia for about a year now, the two having met during the civil war and their love took off from there. It may have been a year, but Damian felt ready to commit himself to Grayfia by asking her to marry him. Some thought it was a little fast, but Damian didn't really care, especially with arranged marriages floating around lately and that was one thing Damian did not wish to become involved in given his status as the heir of both the Lucifer and Mammon Clans, the latter having been raised from a simple Extra Demon Clan to a House of the remaining 72 Pillars after the civil war.
And since Damian was the sole child of the lord and lady of both Houses, he was the heir of both of them, even though they were merged and acted as one rather than both. But Damian took pride in his last name being Mammon-Lucifer. His mother was Sarlith Mammon, and his father was Raylix Lucifer, so it was more of him paying homage, tribute and respect to his parents by using both of their last names.
Closing the door, Damian was about to call for Grayfia when he frowned as he spotted an article of clothing on the floor, one of Grayfia's tops. He crouched down and picked it up, raising an eyebrow.
"That's odd." He said. "Grayfia's not one to leave a mess. She always gets onto my case when I so much as leave a sock on the floor."
His frown deepened as he saw a trail of clothing, as the shirt was followed by shoes, and then blue trousers. He followed the trail, his heart beginning to beat with fear as he saw clothing that belonged to a male. Clothing that did NOT belong to him. The dread in his stomach grew as he heard something up ahead... coming from the bedroom.
Slowly approaching, almost praying, which would be ironic since he's a Devil, that this was not what he was thinking and that Grayfia was just playing a game to tease him, Damian approached the bedroom door and reached for the handle but he noticed it was slightly ajar, so instead he placed his hand on it and gently pushed it open. The sounds became more clearer now... they were moans! Sexual moans!
And the sight within made his eyes widened, and the words that followed made his grip on the ring box slacken, with it falling from his grasp.
"Grayfia..."
"Oh Sirzechs~"
There, in bed together, naked and clearly having sex... was Grayfia, the love of his life, along with Sirzechs, his best friend and brother in all but blood.
The tears began their flow down his cheeks as his heart shattered into a million pieces... and his hands slowly clenched into fists as anger and rage built within.
And when he got angry... his power made the tempature drop.
"Did it get colder in here?" Sirzechs asked as Grayfia moved on top of him, but she stopped at his question.
"I think so, but why did..." Grayfia looked around, freezing when she saw Damian standing in the open doorway, looking at heart with betrayal; and heartbreak. "Damian..."
Caught, Grayfia and Sirzechs quickly covered themselves as the silver-haired woman looked at Damian with an apologetic look, her heart shattering at the heartbroken expression on his face. She went to say something when she saw his expression darken with rage upon looking at Sirzechs, and his power skyrocketed.
"Damian! NOOOOOO...!
With a grunt, Damian snapped awake, sitting up in bed and staring ahead with his shoulders heaving with heavy breaths. He blinked a couple of times, his mind catching up to him that he was in his bedroom. And he realized what had happened, causing him to sigh as he buried his face into his right hand, groaning into it. Slowly, so as to not wake his slumbering bedmate, Damian climbed out of bed, naked as the day he was born. Once he was on the floor, he grabbed his boxers and put them on, followed by grabbing a robe which he put on as well, and then left the bedroom after taking a glance at the woman in his bed.
His steps were slow as he walked down the hallway and soon into the living room, walking towards the doors that led to the balcony. His home was a traditional Japanese villa, located in the woodland area of Kyoto City, overlooking it to be exact. His home was covered by the woods, yet could be seen from the city, though there was certain measures taken to make sure no human would come up for a gander.
Only those of supernatural origin and with Damian's exact permission were allowed to cross the threshold of his home.
Walking out onto the balcony, Damian placed his hands on the railing and sighed as he stared ahead, his eyes lost in thought and bad memories.
'It's been 737 years, and yet I haven't dreamed of that day for the past three hundred years.' Damian thought, his hands instinctively clenching into fists. He had long since moved on from the betrayal of finding his best friend and brother in all but blood in bed with the woman he loved. It was only thanks to certain women that Damian found the will to move on, to open up and learn to love again, and while the pain had faded to a small degree, it hadn't completely gone away.
"Why are you up so early?" A soft voice inquired behind him, causing him to turn and a smile grew on his face as he looked at the person.
Yasaka, leader of the Youkai faction, and the love of his life. The one responsible for helping him move on from Grayfia. While there would always be some inkling of feeling for the silver-haired woman, Damian knew nothing would come of it.
Yasaka was a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure and very long blonde hair with matching eyes. She was currently clad in a kimono that was loose and more designed for bedwear, and the looseness of it showed off her cleavage to her lover's eyes. It was also open at the lower area, showing off her long, toned legs.
Damian met Yasaka not long after he left the Underworld seven hundred and thirty seven years ago, saving her from being raped by a group of Fallen Angels that thought they could kidnap the then-princess of the Youkai Faction and put her up for ransom, but that didn't stop them from wanting to try and rape Yasaka only for Damian to step in and brutally murder the Fallen Angels. After being interrogated by Yasaka's father, Damian was granted a place to stay in Kyoto, if only so they could keep an eye on him and see if he was trustworthy or a Devil spy, despite his insistence that he wasn't.
During this time, a relationship began to form between Damian and Yasaka, who was attracted to Damian and tried to make him open up. It wasn't easy for the first few months, but eventually he managed to open his heart again and fall in love. Their relationship was kept secret, as Yasaka knew her father would not approve as he was a Devil and she was a Kitsune who should marry one like her. But not everything could be hidden for long.
Yasaka was also the mother of Damian's firstborn daughter, Kunou, who was an exact copy of her mother. Kunou was born nine years ago, conceived during Yasaka's heat season. They had always been careful when it came to children, holding off on it even during all these years. Damian knew a child between him and Yasaka would be very powerful, given he had the blood of the original Lucifer in his veins, and Yasaka was very powerful in her own right. Should Damian or Yasaka's enemies find out about Kunou and who her father is...
Damian cleared that thought away before it could cement itself into his head.
"Come here." He said holding his arm out. Yasaka walked out, taking his hand and letting him pull her in for a gentle kiss on the lips. The two contented themselves by standing there, holding each other as they looked out to the city of Kyoto.
"That dream again?" Yasaka asked with a knowing tone, looking up at her love who stared ahead.
"Yeah..." He muttered.
"After three hundred years of not dreaming of that day, don't you think it means something?" Yasaka asked softly, knowing she was about to breach a sore subject for Damian.
He looked at her with a soft frown. "Like what?"
"Like maybe it's time you went home." The nine-tailed Kitsune said, her tone soft and loving.
Damian's frown deepened at her words and he looked away. "If I went back, I'd have to face them. And I doubt I'd be able to do so without wanting to kill them for what they did. Yes, I've gotten over... her, but that doesn't mean the pain is completely gone. It doesn't hurt as much as it did then, but I'm not the kind who forgets nor do I forgive those that hurt me deeply or hurt those I care about. But no, I do not intend to return home anytime soon."
"Why?" Yasaka asked with her own frown. "Don't you think it's time? Your parents would want to see you again, and they'll especially want to meet their granddaughter."
"I know... I know..." Damian said softly. His heart ached with the idea that his parents were deeply hurt by his disappearance and he hoped that they at least were leading a good life in the Underworld, though he had kept a close eye on any talks regarding them as nothing else about the Underworld mattered. Well, save for talks about his friend, Serafall. The only things he listened to about the Underworld would be topics that concerned his parents and Serafall, he had no care for anything else.
"You can't stay away forever, Damian." Yasaka said softly. "There's a feeling of change in the winds. It's like... something terrible is coming, And my men have heard rumors of a group forming, but we don't know much about them."
"If it becomes our problem, then we concern ourselves with it." Damian kissed the top of her head as he held her. "But for now, I just want to maintain this part of my life. Being happily in love with the most beautiful woman in all of creation, who also happens to be the mother to my daughter."
Yasaka couldn't help but smile and the two shared a deeper kiss as the sun began it's early stages of rising.
Yeah, Damian wouldn't give this up for anything in the world.
And that's it for this chapter. Not much, but I figured the rewrite was good enough to show what Damian's been somewhat up to. Yeah, I went and rewrote chapter 2 to have it start near the beginning of DxD canon. It's a lot easier for me to do that rather than try to do arcs leading up to canon. I'm also shortening the harem because there's no need for it to be too big, and also because I think I've done enough fics with women from other anime involved.
So as of now, the harem will be a five or six-women limit, consisting of only DxD girls.
Harem: Yasaka (Alpha), Serafall, Kuroka, Gabriel.
