Dragon of the Elements

by Draconis678

After observing him fighting against the Demon King of his world, Lucifer Sirzechs brings a demon by the name of Kenshin to Kuoh where he soon passes out from his injuries, he is reincarnated as a Devil by Rias who reincarnated the soul he just took in. How will this new twist affect the world around him, and did his family have history in this world? He would soon find out.

15. Let's go to the Underworld!

Draconis: Hmm...

Rias: What is it Draconis-San?

Draconis: Oh nothing, just still wondering when the first lemon should be.

Kenshin: Dude you're really putting a lot of thought into this.

Draconis: Only because I'm sort of writing you as a ticking time bomb of lust every time you miss a heat cycle, it's gonna start getting absurd for me to keep putting it off.

Kenshin: Eh, good point.

Yukari: (pokes Draconis' shoulder)

Draconis: Huh?

Yukari: The poll.

Draconis: Oh! Right. Poll update, So far five people say go for it, while the same one as when we started says no. I'll keep the poll open for the next few chapters as I do not have anything in mind for the one pair I have in mind at the moment.

Azazel: Just gonna let Yukari stew huh? (whacked over the head by Kazeken) Hey!

Yukari: (whistles innocently)

Hikari: (holding Kazeken while looking up at the ceiling)

Azazel: Whatever

Draconis: Anyway.

Dragon of the Elements

Chapter 15

Let's Go to the Underworld!

Draconis: Begin!

(start)

Kenshin was laying in his bed. "So...Summer's here...and I can't move to begin my training regimen this morning...also something seems vastly different about this room, I can't put my finger on it."

Rias and Asia were laying at his sides. "Now this wouldn't be a problem usually." Kenshin thought. "I've gotten pretty good at getting out of bed without waking Rias and Asia, the latter of whom is laying with me to be with Issei, but it feels like someone was weighing me down." He thought.

This presence made themselves known as a head of long dark hair emerged from under the blanket. Un done from it's usual ponytail. It was Akeno Himejima, Rias Gremory's Queen and one of four or five girls that were vying for his affections. He didn't know if Serafall Leviathan was just screwing with him sometimes or if she was being serious. Thank goodness Issei was currently asleep, who knows how he'd react in this situation. (A/N: Except everyone who reads or watches Highschool DxD.)

"Ufufu, good morning Kenshin-kun." Akeno said.

"...Uhm...Good Morning Akeno." Kenshin greeted before letting his eyes wander. She wore a white yukata that was paper thin. "That's a nice look for you...uh with your hair down I mean."

"Oh? Is it? I'm glad you like it." Akeno said leaning downward.

Her body, while not as hot as Kenshin's was on a regular basis, was still quite warm, and what's more, her scent overpowered his senses. "Un...unholy...crap..." He thought.

(chuu)

"!" Kenshin let out a quiet, surprised gasp feeling Akeno's lips pressing against his neck as she tightly embraced him. "A-Are you nuts? Rias is right there." He warned.

"I know...isn't it fun?" Akeno giggled. "Mmn...you sure feel good to lay against Kenshin-kun...such is expected from a man who trains himself as diligently as you do." She said reaching up to blow into Kenshin's ear.

"Nnaaahh..." Kenshin shivered uncontrollably.

"You can enjoy my body as much as you want and I would like to know more about yours as well, yet with a scary onee-san, I guess what we can do is limited." Akeno said as her eyes met his heterochromic eyes. Her black locks cascading onto him. She began lowering herself down to his lips.

With all that Akeno had been doing to him, Kenshin was dazed and helpless to try and stop her, lest they wake Rias or Asia up. However before their lips touched a voice spoke.

"Akeno, what are you doing in here?" Both Akeno and Kenshin turned to find Rias glaring at them.

"Ara ara...this is skinship. I thought I'd spend a nice morning with my dear Kenshin-kun." Akeno said.

"Excuse me? Your Kenshin? I wasn't aware you were the one who was engaged to him. I could have sworn all this time that it was me." Rias snapped.

"I might not be his fiancee, but I am his Senpai, it's my obligation to care for my Kouhai isn't it?" Akeno asked with a coy smile.

Rias leaned forward glaring at Akeno. "So that's your reasoning. You know Asia aside, this is my personal healing sanctuary and mine and Kenshin's room."

"Wait what?" Kenshin said and was promptly ignored.

"Ara Ara, so the Chief has a strong desire to monopolize Kenshin-kun doesn't she?" Akeno said. "You know, he has a pair of clans to resurrect and from what Yukari-San tells me, you'll have a hard time sating his lust on your own if he should go into heat again."

"Oh right, like you can do any better, you have the same no experience as I do." Rias said with narrowed eyes. "I have to tell you this again..." She trailed off as she was enveloped in a crimson aura.

"Oi oi." Kenshin said only to be ignored as Akeno's body was enveloped in a pale gold aura.

At this moment Asia stirred. "Mmn? Issei-San?"

"Still asleep Asia, you should go back to sleep as well, I'll have him wake you up." Kenshin said with a comforting smile.

"Mmn...OK..." Asia said nodding off again.

He heard multiple sounds and turned to find Rias and Akeno smacking each other with pillows. "..." Kenshin stared at the two of them.

"To begin with, I hate how Akeno's immediately trying to come on to my fiancee!" Rias said throwing the pillow she was holding forcefully into Akeno's face. "He hasn't decided if he wants to go the same path as Issei does and he doesn't need you pressuring him!"

"Ara ara, it should be fine if just for a little bit. You really are stingy Rias." Akeno said, with her usual smile.

"This house was just renovated, so I won't let you do as you please Akeno!" Rias shouts throwing her pillow at her again, this time missing Akeno who then threw Kenshin's pillow at Rias.

"Sirzechs-Sama told us all to live together with Kenshin-kun and Issei-kun and get along with each other." Akeno said. "Remember?"

"This is mine and Issei's house, both you and Onii-Sama are getting in our way of being together and I'm getting damn sick of it." Rias said with a glare.

"Wow..." Kenshin thought, feeling slightly touched at how much Rias wanted to be alone with him.

"So you intend to ignore Sirzechs-Sama's wishes then? Kenshin-kun means that much to you? Come on, lend him to me." Akeno said.

"No, Absolutely not!" Rias flatly rejected.

Before the two could continue fighting amongst themselves a cloud of smoke cut in between them. They turned to find Kenshin with a smoke lit up. He got up and walked off the bed. "Enjoy the contact high ladies." He said. "So the house was renovated?"

"Y-Yes." Rias said, realizing she and Akeno were just having a pillow fight right in front of Kenshin.

"Where's the bathroom?" Kenshin asked.

"Uhm, down three flights of stairs, make a right down the hall and it'll be the third door on the left." Akeno said noticing that Kenshin might be annoyed.

"OK, now you two kiss and make up." Kenshin said.

"B-But!" Rias protested.

"I don't wanna hear it Rias, or I'll really make you two kiss and make up." Kenshin said walking out of the room ignoring his blushing bride to be and a giggling Akeno. "It's too early in the morning for this..."

"What happened in there?" Issei asked, just now waking up.

"Oh, Rias and Akeno got into an argument that became a pillow fight." Kenshin thought.

"Wait...and Chief was nude?" Issei asked.

"As per usual, she had just woken up after all." Kenshin thought.

"And Akeno...?" Issei said.

"Wearing that paper thin yukata with her hair down." Kenshin thought

"You bastard! Why didn't you wake me up? !" Issei shouts.

"Riiiigggghhttt, I'm gonna wake you up, so you can ogle girls that are interested in me." Kenshin thought. "Just for that, next time Irina comes over, I'm gonna ogle her. Sometimes shamelessly."

"OK, OK I'll quit." Issei sighed.

"And he bought it." Kenshin thought to himself with a grin.

(break)

Kenshin and Issei were standing in Rias' office where Azazel was sitting in Rias' chair with the others standing around the room. "So, you can only use your Balance Breaker for an hour." Azazel said pointing at Kiba. "That's no good, you need to make sure you can keep it up for three days."

"R-Really? I-I'll do my best!" Kiba exclaimed.

"Well, I can only hold mine up for ten seconds." Issei said with a weak grin.

"You'll have to retrain from scratch, the White Dragon Emperor can hold his up for a month straight." Azazel said.

"A month? !" Issei shouts.

"Fuck." Kenshin whistled, impressed.

"Now Kenshin, your problem isn't your training, as a matter 'o fact, from what I've seen lately, you train harder than just about anyone here with your sisters, mother and Xenovia being close seconds." Azazel said. "Your problem is your lack of ambition as well as something else that I've yet to figure out. Issei has his, Vali has his, but I have a problem pinning you down."

Kenshin crossed his arms. "I left my ambitions back at my home in Mundus Magicus." Kenshin said. "Other than helping protect everyone here. I don't really have an ambition."

"So if I brought this Hottan fellow to you, that would do nothing for you?" Azazel asked.

"Hottan can't come here." Kenshin said. "As the Creator of Mundus Magicus, he can't cross the Dimensional Gap himself."

"Ah, so he can't create a barrier for himself to cross it eh? Well that's good to know. Eh the thing that lives there would eat him alive anyway." Azazel said with a shrug.

"Wait, Kenshin you never said this guy was the Creator of the world you came from!" Issei said.

"I don't have to tell you everything Issei." Kenshin said glancing at him.

"Well...as for an ambition for you...why not have it be revive your clans?" Azazel asked.

"E-Eh?" Kenshin, Yukari, Miyuki and Hikari all said.

"Well come on!" Azazel said waving his hand. "You are the patriarch of both your clans, the only one who can carry on their names. Technically you've got more of a reason to form a harem than Issei here who is doing it off a very strong whim."

"..." Kenshin stared at him for a moment. "Well...maybe so..." Kenshin said scratching his cheek with an awkward grin feeling everyone's eyes on him. He unsealed a bottle of wine and took a swig to calm his nerves.

"Hahaha! I could take you and Issei out and teach you about harems, even though I look like this, I've formed hundreds of harems in the past." Azazel laughed.

"Urk!" Kenshin coughed, choking on the wine.

"What? !" Issei exclaimed.

"Hundreds of harems, what the shit? !" Kenshin coughed out trying to clear his throat.

"Yeah, you won't lose anything by hearing about it." Azazel said. "Hey, Issei, are you a virgin?"

"Y-Yeah?" Issei said.

"OK cool, I'll teach you all about women. It's way better to become a man that properly ensnares beautiful women." Azazel said ignoring the glares he was getting from Kenshin's family, Rias and Koneko. "Hell Kenshin over here has ensnared a few himself. So he doesn't need my teachings as much as you do."

"..." Kenshin rolled his eyes at the Fallen Angel Leader.

"You know it's funny, I could have sworn that the Grigori fell from grace when they were tempted by human women and taught them valuable knowledge from heaven." Rias quipped frowning at Azazel.

"Ah, yeah. We were young back then. We blindly believed that 'God was great and wonderful' wearing our virginities on our sleeves. Hahaha, we couldn't stand up to the temptation, got laid and fell from grace." Azazel recalled.

"...Pfft.." Kenshin snickered.

"What's so funny?" Azazel asked.

"What kind of woman tempted Kokabiel?" Kenshin asked.

"I forget." Azazel shrugged.

"I-I kinda feel sorry for you guys, being an ero guy myself." Issei said with an abashed grin.

"So they took their sticks, parted a lucky lady's red sea and let their people go. Nothing to really feel sorry about. Free will is a fickle thing." Kenshin said with a shrug.

"Hahahahahaha! Oh man Kenshin I've never heard it put quite like that, but you're right." Azazel laughed. "Yes, if you're a man, live in a state of desire and devour women, or if you're a woman, do the same and devour men! Come with me and I'll produce your graduation ceremony and introduce you to some of the beautiful Fallen Angel ladies in my service, they'd probably be happy to have sex with a couple of legendary dragons like yourselves, especially considering one of you has a lust problem."

"Uuuuwwwaahaahahaaa!" Issei gushed. "Let's do it!"

Kenshin narrowed his eyes with a smirk. "...Azazel...you know my fiancee and Issei's master as well as my sisters and mother are right there, right?" He asked jerking his thumb behind him. "Granted I would be very open myself to such a thing if it knocked out all the excess lust on my next heat cycle, but I don't see it happening, hell those two got into an argument this morning because one of them was coming onto me." Kenshin said pointing at Rias and Akeno.

"Seriously, stop giving them strange ideas!" Rias said with a flustered tone.

"It's fine for them to be acquainted with women, or is there something wrong with that?" Azazel said.

"I am the one who manages Issei's chastity and Kenshin's excess lust." Rias countered.

"Huh? You want to have a reverse harem?" Azazel asked.

"N-No!" Rias shouts.

Yukari snorted. "By the way, you're in charge of Kenshin's excess lust? With what experience?"

Rias ignored her as Azazel spoke. "Well, anyway Dragons naturally form polygamies, so you might not have a choice, and that goes for you as well little Miss Former Nun." Azazel said

"H-Heh? ! A-Aaaauuu..." Asia whimpered.

"Damn...with Chief managing him it'll be hard to make a baby.." Xenovia muttered.

"Wait what?" Hikari said having heard her, only to be ignored.

"Jeez...it feels like I'm paying a visit to Sheena in Makai right now." Kenshin said crossing his arms.

"What's that supposed to mean Kenshin-kun?" Akeno asked.

"There is a bit of a gender fissure in the Makai back home." Kenshin said. "When I'd go to Makai, I'd have more than a few demon women trying to hit on me. Some of them Succubi, some White Tigresses, in human forms of course and even the leader of the Kitsune Tribe come on to me."

"The leader of the Kitsune Tribe?" Issei said. "Oh man...a voluptuous woman with nine swaying fluffy tails! If we ever go there I can't wait to meet her."

"She's in a diminutive form, I'd say she's about as tall as Koneko." Kenshin said deflating Issei's enthusiasm.

"Was her name Tamamo?" Azazel asked.

"?" Kenshin stared at him. "Uh...yeah actually...how'd you know?"

"She was one of Ragnarok's allies who came looking for him during the Three Factions War." Azazel explained. "So she's still kicking eh? The chibi form you're referring to is because she sealed herself off. She was the one who came and told us and the Devils that Ragnarok was dead."

Kenshin nodded. "I see. Did she say who did him in?"

"Hmm...I don't quite remember. Sorry, I wasn't terribly close to Ragnarok. We just caught ourselves in a few drinking contests during the war." Azazel shrugged. Kenshin sweatdropped at this.

"Well anyway, that's all I wanted to have talked about." Rias said. "Come on everyone."

Awhile later Rias, Issei, Yukari and Kenshin were walking home. "Uhm...Rias." Kenshin said.

"Hm?" Rias said as they approached the front gate of the Hyoudou Residence..

"When I said that we needed more space...this wasn't exactly what I had in mind." Kenshin said.

"Oh Kenshin, what's the big deal? So we live in a six story complex." Yukari said.

"Yukari, I could run Rikudou out of this place." Kenshin said.

"True. Is that really a bad thing though?" Yukari asked.

"No, not really, the sheer size of it just caught me off guard." Kenshin said with a shrug.

"Uhm...what's Rikudou if you don't mind me asking?" Rias asked.

"Oh, that was the name of our organization." Yukari answered.

"And..they let a person Kenshin's age help run it?" Rias asked with an arched brow.

"Technically I joined and became the sixth leader when I was ten." Kenshin said.

"Eh? !" Rias blanched.

"Dude, what kind of childhood did you lead after escaping from that place?" Issei asked.

"An interesting one to be sure." Kenshin said. "And getting back to the complex, I fired one of my attacks at the walls to be sure of it's sturdiness, not only did it not do much damage, it self repaired itself."

"Of course, my family spared no expense." Rias said.

Kenshin slumped. "Great, now I owe Lord Gremory one...I hate owing people one."

Rias shook her head with a giggle and pat Kenshin on the back. "Oh don't worry about it, it was a favor to me anyway."

"By the way, what else does this house have?" Yukari asked as they walked past the front gate.

"Well on the first floor there are the guest rooms, living room, kitchen and Japanese Style rooms." Rias said.

"...Rias I've been meaning to ask." Yukari said. "Are you a Japanophile or something?"

"Ah..." Rias blushed in embarrassment. "Well...y-yes."

Yukari shrugged. "There's nothing wrong with that, I was just wondering."

Rias nodded and went on. "The second floor is Asia's, Kenshin's and My own rooms, able to go in between them at will as they're all connected."

"So it'll be easier for you to get to Kenshin of course." Yukari sniped with a snide grin.

"..." Rias rolled her eyes at Yukari. "The Third floor is the study as well as Issei's parent's room, as well as a store room. The fourth floor has the rooms of Akeno, Xenovia and Koneko and the fifth room has yours, Miyuki-San's and Hikari-San's rooms, with the rest on that level and the sixth floor being vacant."

"Uh huh, OK just wanted to be sure." Yukari said.

"Also there's basements." Rias said.

"There is?" Issei, Kenshin and Yukari all asked.

"Yes, three in fact." Rias said. "The first floor is a large spacious room that can be used as a training room or as a movie theater. The second room is the baths and the last is an indoor swimming pool."

Kenshin blinked owlishly. "...Just how much did your family shell out for this place?"

"It was all possible through magic use." Rias said with a carefree smile.

Kenshin and Yukari stared at each other with gloomy expressions. "Yukari...

"Yeah?" Yukari replied.

"Have we been using our magic all wrong?" Kenshin asked.

"Probably..." Yukari muttered.

Rias giggled. "I'm partly kidding, the objects that could be bought here in the human world still had to be purchased and warped here."

"My house has an indoor pool now...man I don't know what's what anymore." Issei said with an abashed grin.

(break)

The next morning

"You're going back to the Underworld? !" Issei blanched at Rias as everyone sat in Kenshin's room.

"Yes? I go back every year to visit my family...you seem so sad Issei." Rias teased.

"Because he doesn't wanna see his recently added Onee-Sama go away." Kenshin quipped as he exhaled smoke. "Well I hope you have fun."

"What are you talking about Kenshin? You and your family are coming with me, as are everyone else." Rias said.

"Eh? Why?" Kenshin asked.

Rias smiled at him. "You're my fiancee, you will have to accompany me like this eventually so why not get a headstart on it?" She asked.

"I guess." Kenshin shrugged.

"It feels kind of strange going to the Underworld, being what I used to be." Xenovia said. "It feels like divine punishment."

"Who's dolling it out then?" Kenshin asked.

"Good point." Xenovia said with a shrug.

"It will feel strange to me as well, being a former nun." Asia said. "But as long as I'm with everyone I think I'll manage."

"In our world, Makai was looked at as a sort of Underworld, so this shouldn't be too hard for us." Hikari said, patting Miyuki on the head.

"I was already there." Yukari said.

"Good, we'll be there until after the twentieth of August." Rias said. "The plan is to train and attend various events in the Underworld."

"Ok." Everyone nodded.

Kenshin turned his head to Issei, hearing him muttering about a number of things. Like hot springs in the Underworld, mixed bathing, wanting to rub Rias', Akeno's and even Hikari's boobs. He was about to say something when Koneko cut in. "Disgusting delusions are forbidden..." She said before letting out a quiet sigh.

"...?" Kenshin arched his brow as she looked away with distant eyes. "...What's up with her?"

"So I guess for Kenshin he'll just be training?" Hikari said with an amused voice.

"No, he'll go on a date with me at some point." Rias said.

"OK." Kenshin shrugged. "You could show me around."

"Ara ara, then I'll be spending time with him in the bedroom, doing the things Chief can't for some reason." Akeno said clapping her hands together with a smile.

Yukari held up a sign reading 'Shots fired'.

"I forbid it." Rias glared.

"I refuse." Akeno replied.

Kenshin closed his eyes. "So Azazel, you're coming too?"

"?" Everyone turned to see Azazel standing in the doorway.

Issei blinked owlishly. "Man I don't think anyone but Kenshin knew he was there." He thought.

"Ah, you noticed me Kenshin?" Azazel asked.

"A presence as powerful as yours can only be suppressed so much. Someone as in tune with the flows of this world as I am can detect you." Kenshin said.

"Keh, I see." Azazel shrugged. "Well, from what it seems, you'll be going to the Gremory main household to introduce yourselves formally to the house heads. Then there's the annual young devils meeting. I hear the AllFather of the Norse Pantheon is going to observe as well, mainly out of curiosity."

"The Norse AllFather?" Kenshin said. "You mean Odin?"

"Yeah. Why?" Azazel asked.

"Eh, I wonder if his son Thor's gonna be there?" Kenshin wondered.

"Why's that Onii-Chan?" Miyuki asked.

"Eh, I wanna know if I could lift Mjolnir." Kenshin shrugged. "Probably can't, but couldn't hurt to find out."

"Hahaha, always wanting to test your might I see." Azazel said with a grin. "Well after that, we'll start on your training, that's what I'm mainly going for."

Everyone nodded. "So, shall I get things in order for you to come along with us?" Rias asked.

"Eh, there shouldn't be a problem, I gotta go see Sirzechs too anyway. Man, that's so troublesome." Azazel groaned. "It'll be my first time going the devil's route though. So please do Rias." Azazel said nodding toward her.

"Alright then, this meeting is adjourned, everyone go prepare for departure." Rias declared.

(break)

Everyone was gathered at the train station. Rias' peerage was wearing the Kuoh Academy summer outfits, as were Yukari and Miyuki, while Hikari and Kenshin wore the same red outfit, the only difference being Kenshin wore his black jacket over his. Issei wasted no time teasing him over this. "What's this Kenshin? Are you a Mama's boy or something?"

Issei received a smack over the head for his troubles. "My father gave me this outfit as a child fitted to my size to have something that both had my mother's scent and belonged to her. I just grew fond of it you idiot." Kenshin said.

"Ow...shit OK, you didn't have to hit me." Issei grumbled.

The group came up to an elevator. Rias and Akeno entered first. "Alright, Kenshin, Issei, Asia, Xenovia, Yukari, Miyuki and Hikari, you all enter first, we'll be going down from here."

Issei was confused. "Down? But...we're already at ground level."

"Yes, I don't think we can go down any further." Asia said.

"Come on you two." Yukari said gently shoving them in.

"There's more to it than we can see isn't there Rias-Chan?" Miyuki asked.

"Right you are." Rias said as she slid a card through a slot near the electronic panel. It made a noise and suddenly the elevator went down.

Kenshin turned to Issei as he and Asia looked surprised while Xenovia tilted her head curiously. "Seriously? You're in the world of the supernatural now. You can't be surprised at something as mundane as a pocket dimension where the Devils and Fallen Angels run their subway system."

"I've lived here all my life and I've never heard of this!" Issei shouts.

"Of course not, you were a human before." Hikari said with a casual smile.

"A...Ahh...r-right." Issei sweatdropped.

Rias and Akeno shared a giggle at this while Yukari and Miyuki laughed. The elevator soon stopped and everyone except Rias exited who went to get the others. Issei gaped as they came out into a large cave. Rias came back down with the others moments later and they proceeded to platform three with Rias and Akeno taking the lead.

"Wow..." Issei looked around. "This place is pretty big. It's like several times the size of the station we usually use."

"Hey Rias, this place does seem unnecessarily big, are all the world's train stations for devils connected here?" Yukari asked.

"At the very least all the ones in Japan are." Rias answered. "As for the whole world...I don't know."

"Aaah." Yukari nodded.

Kenshin walked along glancing around when he felt his hand being grabbed. "?" He glanced over and saw Akeno. He wasn't sure why she had done so, but that didn't stop him from doing the same back to her. "?" He stared as her face turned red and she smiled. "...Heh, She's usually trying to arouse me, but I guess I should remember she's no older than Rias." Kenshin thought with a smile of his own.

Which soon vanished, feeling Rias and Yukari's glaring eyes on him. He briefly wondered why Xenovia wasn't also glaring, but chalked it up to not paying attention. Issei chuckled at his misfortune only for Kenshin to flip him the bird. They soon came up to the platform they were walking toward which had a train docked in it. "Hmm...the teleportation circle for the Gremory family?" He said spotting the circle in question.

"And Sirzechs' own teleportation seal." Yukari pointed out.

"?" Kenshin turned to her. "How would you know?"

"I was in the Underworld for like a couple of weeks before we met up." Yukari answered. "He helped me get acquainted with this world."

"..." Kenshin narrowed his eyes as he turned away, but said nothing.

Everyone entered the train. Rias was in the first car before the engine car as was Kenshin. Everyone else was in the car behind them. "Hey, couldn't we have used the teleportation circle to go to the Underworld instead of this train?"

"We can, but if you haven't gone at least one time through the official route, you'd be arrested." Akeno answered.

"Eh? !" Issei blanched. "B-B-But what about when Kenshin and I wrecked Raiser's engagement party? !"

"You used Sirzechs-Sama's back door teleportation circle, but it's safe to say he won't pardon you again." Akeno answered again with a smile.

"So, Sirzechs-Sama pardoned us because we helped him out." Issei thought.

"However, you might be arrested for sexual contact with your master." Akeno said with another smile.

"E-Eeeeehh? !" Issei blanched. "B-But, that was only a few times!"

"Ufufufu. Doesn't matter. You're not her fiancee, Kenshin-kun is." Akeno giggled. "Kenshin-kun can do it because he's going to marry her."

"B-But, it was his body I was doing it in!" Issei shouts.

"Oh?" Akeno asked.

"W-Well...s-sometimes Kenshin would switch with me so he could catch up on his mental training...and I would use his body, and sound like him to grab Chief's boobs, stroke her thighs and what not." Issei confessed. "Hell, I did it a time or two to Yukari and she seemed pretty receptive."

"..." Yukari glared holes into the back of his head. "I should have known!" She thought, frustrated.

"Oh Yukari-Chan calm down, it was nice to be groped by his body, no?" Akeno teased.

"Aaah? Ah..w-wai-!" Yukari became a blushing, stuttering mess as she tried to come up with a retort.

"Ufufufu." Akeno giggled as she turned back to Issei who shivered.

"W-Whoa, she actually got someone as serious as Yukari-San to do something that?" Issei thought glancing at Yukari.

"You know though Issei, skinship between two servants is not forbidden at all." Akeno said with a wink as she pulled his hand toward her skirt.

"U-Uuuuwwwaaahhh? !" Issei exclaimed mentally. "A-Akeno-San's coming on to me? !"

Before she could get anyway, Issei's hand was grabbed by Asia and tugged back. Akeno giggled at her. "Relax Asia-Chan, I'm just teasing him. Not to say Issei-kun isn't interesting himself, I'm just more interested in Kenshin-kun."

At this time Kenshin and Rias walked into the car and heard most of this. Kenshin glanced over at Koneko who was gazing out the window. He approached her as Rias chewed out Akeno and nearly got into a fight. He looked out the window with her. "You OK?"

"?" Koneko glanced over at him. "Kenshin-Senpai..."

"Is everything OK over here?" Kenshin repeated. "You've been kinda distant the past few days. I was beginning to wonder if there's something you wanna talk about."

"No...It's Ok. I'm just mulling things over." Koneko said shaking her head.

"OK." Kenshin said. He reached over and placed his hand on her shoulder and smiled. "But, if you do end up needing to speak to someone about something bugging you and Rias is busy, I'll hear you out."

"..." Koneko went silent.

Kenshin turned and walked away when Koneko called out to him. "Thank you..." She said. Kenshin nodded in response and waved her off.

Forty minutes later the train engineer Reynaldo's voice came from the front. "We are breaking through the dimensional wall, please be patient."

"Well, while we're here, look out the window." Rias said to the newcomers.

"Whoa!" Issei said seeing an expansive forest and mountains.

"Jeez." Kenshin looked out. "Sylph would be right at home here."

"I know right! I could totally move here!" Sylph exclaimed with glee.

"No kidding." Yukari said with Miyuki nodding. Kenshin took an opportunity to hand them each one of his cards. "What are these for?" Yukari asked.

"Well, you wanna get a head start on your training right?" Kenshin asked. "I'll probably be with Rias right out of the gate. Sylph was your favorite to use right Miyuki?"

"Yeah, I loved going fast with her power." Miyuki said with a grin.

"And I got Undine?" Yukari asked.

"Well you always said you were more of a nimble fighter than a defensive one." Kenshin shrugged.

"I remember you telling me our families were quite fond of the wilderness Kenshin." Hikari said.

"Wow, it looks so amazing." Asia said.

"It is impressive." Xenovia noted.

After Rias had explained that this land belonged to her family Kenshin crossed his arms with a curious expression. "How big is your territory?"

"Hummm...well if I were to compare it to anything, it'd be Honshu in Japan." Rias said. "Yes, about that size."

"..." Kenshin arched his brow. "...Seriously, that is freakin' huge."

"Well, considering we have to share territory with the Fallen Angels, and there is no oceans, the land is simply so spacious." Rias explained. "It's not that big all things considered."

"Eh, True." Kenshin shrugged.

"Uh...even if it's the size of Honshu, isn't it mostly unused space?" Issei asked.

"Yes it is, mostly just wilderness. After the wedding, Father might even grant Kenshin's family a land holding here." Rias answered. "Some of this forest was where the Kuroshi clan set up their encampments during the war. Even Akeno, Gasper, Yuuto and Koneko have land here." She pulled up a map with red shaded in areas. "The red areas are land that's already claimed."

"Where did the Kuroshi set up?" Kenshin asked.

"Uhm...over here I believe." Rias said pointing at the area near the mountains, next to a red area. "Also I believe that the Tsuki that were allies with the Kuroshi also found themselves here in the underworld, and had an alliance with the Sitiri clan, but I doubt it was anything like the one my family has. I'll have to ask Sona next time I see her."

"The Tsuki clan probably didn't do much of anything noteworthy here did they?" Kenshin asked. "They aren't mentioned nearly as much as the Kuroshi."

"Most of that is due to Sir Ragnarok, the First Dragon of the Elements." Rias said. "We devils held the Tsuki in high regard as well as they helped us, it's just the Sitiri were the first to strike an alliance with them."

Ten minutes later everyone departed from the train after it had come to a stop. Kenshin had gotten his cards back as Yukari and Miyuki said that they might as well accompany him to visit Rias' family. Azazel however had to stay on the train and proceed to the Satans territories to see Sirzechs. As soon as they were coming up to the station's exit they were greeted by maids and butlers alike.

"Welcome home Rias-Ojou-Sama." They all said bowing toward her.

Kenshin blinked owlishly as fireworks went off, soldiers fired guns in air and an orchestra played. "...?"

"Wow..." Yukari said.

"And I thought Theo-Chan had an entrance." Miyuki murmured.

"No kidding." Hikari said.

"Wow..." Asia said in awe.

"Whoa." Issei said.

"..." Xenovia was doing about the same thing Kenshin was doing.

"Hello everyone, I'm home." Rias said with a wide smile that the maids and butlers returned.

One of them, that everyone except Miyuki and Hikari recognized approached them. "Oh, hey Grayfia." Kenshin greeted with a wave.

"Hello Ojou-Sama, Kenshin-San. We have been awaiting the arrival of you two and your peerages." Grayfia greeted. "A carriage has been prepared for you."

"We'll go with our servants." Rias said. "Issei and Asia seem anxious."

"Yeah and so do Mom and Miyuki." Kenshin said.

Grayfia nodded. "Yes, I foresaw this and prepared multiple carriages. Please enter."

Kenshin, Rias, Issei, Asia, Xenovia, and Grayfia boarded the first carriage. "Yukari, since you've been here in the Underworld before stay with Mom and Miyuki." Kenshin called out.

"OK." Yukari replied.

As the carriages rode onward Issei looked out the window. "C-C-C-Chief, what's this big castle we're coming up on?" Issei asked nervously, remembering the prior conversation he had with Akeno.

"Relax Issei, you're not going to prison or anything, that's just one of my family's houses." Rias said.

"Whew." Issei sighed in relief.

"Yeah, I'm just gonna beat the hell out of you for taking my body over to sate your perverted desires." Kenshin said cracking his knuckles with a smirk.

"I-I'd rather go to prison!" Issei cried out in fright.

"Ha!" Kenshin cackled. "You would be someone's girlfriend by lunchtime!"

"OK you two calm down." Rias said smacking the two over the head.

"Oh Rias, I'm just having a little fun with him." Kenshin said with a laugh.

"Uhm...Kenshin-oniisan...what do you mean by he'll be someone's g-g-girlfriend?" Asia asked with a shy, curious expression.

"Nn!" Kenshin's head snapped toward her. "U-Uh...Oh hey look we're here!" He said quickly changing the subject. Asia turned her head away, to see they were indeed at the castle. Issei leaned over to Kenshin.

"Good save." Issei said.

"Yeah." Kenshin nodded.

"Well what did you mean?" Xenovia asked.

"Someone would be doing to him, what you do to me." Kenshin drawled. "Most likely another man at that."

"Aaaahh." Xenovia nodded.

The group disembarked from the carriage and made their way inside, where they were greeted by more servants. As they walked past Grayfia who urged them forward a small silhouette shot forward and ran toward Rias. "Rias-neesama!"

"?" Everyone watched as a cute looking boy crashed into Rias who fell to one knee and embraced him.

"Millicas, my you've grown since the last time I saw you." Rias said with a smile.

"Uhm...Chief, who is this boy?" Issei asked with a curious gaze.

"Hm...well judging by his looks, and the fact that he knows Rias on a very familiar level...I wanna say he's...Lord Sirzechs' son?" Hikari guessed.

"Right you are Hikari-San." Rias said. "Everyone this is Millicas Gremory, my nephew."

"Oh! W-Well, I am Hyoudou Issei." Issei introduced

"Hi, nice to meet you." Millicas greeted as everyone else introduced themselves. "Hi Yukari-San, nice to see you again!" He waved.

"Likewise." Yukari said with a smile.

Millicas' gaze shifted toward Kenshin. "Hm?" Kenshin knelt down. "What's up Millicas? You want to say something to me?" He asked with a smile.

"Uhm..." Millicas pulled out a book with a shy tone. "Is that the Red Dragon Emperor back there?" He said pointing at Issei.

"Yeah?" Kenshin asked.

"Could he possibly give me his autograph?" Millicas asked.

"E-Eh? !" Issei blanched. "A-Autograph?"

"Sure he can." Kenshin said with a grin. "Come on Issei, just sign your name."

"W-Well, OK." Issei said with a flustered, but smiling face as he took the book and signed his name.

Millicas took the book back and laughed. "That's funny." He said.

"Millicas, that's not all you wanted to ask, was it?" Rias asked.

"W-Well...no...but...he's a lot more imposing in person..." Millicas said with a shy look.

"What's up?" Kenshin asked with a curious expression.

"W-Well, could I have your autograph as well Elemental Dragon Emperor?" Millicas asked.

"...?" Kenshin blinked owlishly, glancing back and forth before pointing questioningly at himself. "M...Me?"

"Y-Yes, i-it's just...you were so awesome fighting against the Phenex clan's heir!" Millicas said excitedly. "Y-You know, after the Red Dragon Emperor did his part. You never seemed to lose control of the pace of that fight and beat him from start to finish! And that last attack you used was amazing, what was it called...E-E-Elemental Cata..clsm?" He guessed.

"Cataclysm." Kenshin corrected as he gingerly took the book.

"Yeah!" Millicas said with a wide grin. "I wanna grow to be as strong as you one day!" He said.

"..." Kenshin smiled and signed his name as well as something under it before turning the book back over to him.

"...Eh...y-you really think I can?" Millicas asked reading the message which said. 'Train hard kid, and one day you may very well surpass me.'

Kenshin ruffled the boy's hair. "I wasn't anything special when I was your age and look at me? If you work hard in your training and find something worth protecting, there's no real limit to how far you can go."

Millicas embraced Kenshin. "Th-Thanks...and...I hope you can make Nee-Sama happy."

Kenshin chuckled warmly. "No worries there."

The two detached and Millicas went forward, accompanied by Grayfia. Rias turned her head to Kenshin. "That was really nice of you Kenshin. I don't think I've seen him that happy in a while. With Onii-Sama always being busy and all, he's always in the company of our maids and his mother and grandparents. He gets rather lonesome."

"Yeah, and you can't seem to wipe that smile off your face Ken-Chan." Hikari pointed out with a giggle.

"Aaahh..hahahahahaha..." Kenshin scratched the back of his head laughing. "U-Uhm...w-well...I've never actually had someone come up to me and ask for my autograph before...and...it's like I was the kid's hero or something." Kenshin said.

"Well, I've never had someone ask for mine either." Issei said. "It was really weird, but...it felt really nice." He said with a grin.

"By the way, Issei...'May oppai show you the way!' Kenshin asked before letting out a comical snort as he laughed. "You're an idiot." He said as he walked forward.

"Wow...I was totally expecting him to do more than just that." Issei thought.

"Ojou-Sama, I would like to show your guests to their rooms." Grayfia said as multiple maids came toward them. "So that they may get settled in before your father comes back."

"Whoa, Kenshin these maids are all total babes." Issei whispered.

"And they all probably just heard you anyway." Kenshin muttered hearing some of the maids giggling.

"I see." Rias said. "Well, I guess that would be the next thing to do. I suppose everyone is tired after the trip here."

"Now, because of the circumstances, you and your fiancee cannot room together right this moment. I trust that is OK?" Grayfia asked.

"Yes, that will be fine." Rias said, nodding toward her as they walked into the foyer.

"Ara? So Rias, you're already back? We weren't expecting you until later tonight." Everyone looked up to see a beautiful young woman coming down the stairs. Issei ogled her almost shamelessly.

"Whoa, Kenshin is that Rias' sister? She totally looks a lot like her." Issei whispered to Kenshin.

"If that's her sister, don't you think we'd have heard about her from Rias or Sirzechs?" Kenshin whispered back.

"W-Well she's too young to be anything else." Issei whispered again. "Aaaahhhh, I think I'm in love." He said with lovestruck eyes.

"Well, I decided to come back a little early this time, Mother." Rias said.

"Pfft..." Kenshin stifled a laugh as Issei's face fell.

"M-Mother? ! Whoa, really? ! She's not that much older that Chief is!" Issei exclaimed.

"Ara, such a joyful thing to hear that I am a young woman." Rias' Mother said.

"Remember Issei? Devils, Fallen Angels and I guess even Angels can change their appearances through magic use." Kenshin said. "Although why Madam Gremory chose to look almost identical to her daughter is a mystery to me."

"Unholy shit! This means that Chief's large bust was inherited from her mother!" Issei gushed.

Rias reached over and pinched his cheek. "You know nothing's gonna come out of making hot eyes at my mother, right?" She asked.

"S-Sorry." Issei apologized.

"So, this boy is Hyoudou Issei?" Rias' Mother asked.

"Y-You know about me?" Issei asked.

"Of course, Sirzechs stops by every so often to tell us how things are going." Rias' Mother replied with a smile before turning to Kenshin. "And you must be Kenshin Tsuki Kuroshi, Sir Ragnarok's direct heir."

"Hm?" Kenshin said. "Well, yes I am, but you know about me as well?"

"Well, I did sneak a few peeks at you during the the engagement party." Rias' Mother said.

"A...A few?" Kenshin asked.

"Hmhmhm, nothing untoward, I assure you." She said with a giggle. "You are quite handsome though, you may very well grow into the next Ragnarok someday."

"Ragnarok is Ragnarok and I am myself." Kenshin said. "With all due respect I'm not trying to be the next anyone."

"Of course. By the way, I am Venerana Gremory." She introduced.

"A pleasure." Kenshin said crossing his arm in front of his chest and bowing.

Later, everyone was in the dining hall eating as Lord Gremory turned to Kenshin. "So, I hear you're already entertaining guests." He said.

Kenshin glanced over at Xenovia and Asia, both whom moved into his room with his permission almost immediately after they had been shown their rooms. For the time being Issei had moved back into Kenshin's body to conserve time for training, if Azazel ever showed up. "Some people feel uncomfortable in a large room all to themselves." Kenshin said. "I've got no problems letting them room with me."

"Ah, I see. That's rather kind of you. Considering neither are in your peerage." Lord Gremory said with a nod.

Kenshin nodded and went back to eating. He glanced around the table, everyone was eating as politely as possible, He smiled comfortingly at Gasper who constantly looked nervously before looking over at Koneko. Their eyes met and he waved, but she didn't respond and just looked away. "What's up with her?" Issei asked.

"You noticed too?" Kenshin asked.

"How could I not?" Issei replied.

"She seems depressed about something. I'm gonna try asking her about it again later." Kenshin thought.

Kenshin turned back to Lord Gremory as he cleared his throat and went to ask him something. "Kuroshi Kenshin-kun."

"Just Kenshin please." Kenshin requested.

"Ah, well tell me...is this all that's left of your family?" Lord Gremory asked glancing out at Hikari, Miyuki and Yukari.

"Yeah." Kenshin said. "There used to be five of us until recently, but I'd rather not get into that if it's all the same to you."

"Understandable." Lord Gremory nodded. "Where is the Red Dragon Emperor?"

"He's back in here for now, we're trying to conserve time in case Azazel comes back any time soon to train us." Kenshin said taking a sip from his glass.

"Pulling souls out of humans, I thought only Succubi and Incubi could do that, and that's usually while they're mating with someone." Lord Gremory said.

"We have demon type succubi and incubi that can do that too back home, and there is a way for someone other than them to pull it off, the Tsuki clan in particular were tricked into accepting power from the God of Death. So as long as we were stuck with it, we developed it. One such skill was called Seishin Boido or Spiritual Void. With it I was able to reach in, grab Issei's soul and pull it into myself as his body was being destroyed. However now that I'm a devil, I can't use any skills I developed using holy magic, including seven ofuda charms, that bastard Shinigami's power and the power of the Dragon God from my world that struck an agreement with the Kuroshi long after Ragnarok had passed, Called Sins of the Dragon God."

"Hm...most beings get stronger when they become a devil, but it sounds to me like you got a bit weaker." Lord Gremory said.

Kenshin shrugged. "I wouldn't say that. It just made me change how I approached battle like Sirzechs advised me to. Same goes for the members of my peerage, we're all pretty adaptable. Then again, so are Rias and her peerage members."

"I see that's good to hear." Lord Gremory said with an approving nod. "By the way, seeing as you're going to marry my daughter, feel free to call me father-in-law."

"I...think I'll just stick with Lord Gremory." Kenshin said.

"So cold you are." Lord Gremory said with a small grin.

"Sorry, it's just I have fond memories of my father, and he passed relatively recently." Kenshin said.

"Aaahh, well take your time then." Lord Gremory nodded.

"Thanks." Kenshin said.

"Kuroshi Kenshin. Can I call you Kenshin-San?" Venerana asked.

"Go ahead." Kenshin said.

"Will you be staying here for awhile?" Venerana asked.

"As long as Rias is." Kenshin said with a nod.

"I see, that's perfect. Sirzechs tells me that you're quite rough around the edges so I will be teaching you gentlemanly behavior while you're here." Venerana said with a smile. "According to my son it's long overdue as he said you never had anyone to teach you."

Hikari batted narrowed eyes at Venerana. "Is she insulting my parenting? I did what I could while he was there you bitch!" She thought.

"Hm?" Venerana turned her head toward Hikari. "Is something wrong?"

"Oh no nothing." Hikari waved her off with a smile. "If I wasn't so sure I'd get thrown in prison I'd come up there and smack the taste out of your mouth." She thought.

"Well, I did, but I wasn't around her often enough for it to mean anything." Kenshin said. "I only met my mother when I was ten years old mind you."

"Oh dear, what was she doing?" Venerana asked.

"Being possessed by my sworn enemy." Kenshin answered.

"Oh dear, that is unfortunate. I hope I didn't upset her with what I said." Venerana said with a wincing smile.

"Oh don't worry about it, you didn't know." Hikari said waving her off. "I'll let you off the hook for now." She thought.

"So would that be OK with you Kenshin-San? It'll go a lot more smoothly if you're approving of it." Venerana asked.

(bang!)

Rias got up from her seat next to Kenshin. "Father, Mother, I've been quiet until now, but what is it you're trying to advance without my knowing?"

Venerana narrowed her eyes at Rias, losing her smile. "Quiet Rias. You canceled your engagement with Raiser. The fact that we approved of it should be seen as special treatment. Do you know how much your father and Sirzechs had to work to remedy the situation, after you used not one, but two of the Legendary Dragons to do such. Your father even said once that 'my selfish daughter canceled the engagement using the Red Dragon and the Elemental Dragon.' You maybe the sister of a Satan, but there is a limit to how sel-"

Venerana stopped talking as a cloud of smoke was blown between her and Rias. She turned to see Kenshin sitting back with a smoke in between his lips. "Why is it you are smoking in the dining hall?" She asked with narrowed eyes.

"Sorry, had to get your attention somehow during that little tirade you just went on." Kenshin said glancing in Venerana's direction.

"Well what is it?" Venerana asked.

"Well I wanted to tell you, that Rias didn't use us, Issei and I were going to wreck that engagement party even if I wasn't going to be engaged to her." Kenshin said. "We did it out of our own free will. Secondly, Sirzechs brought me here. I'm pretty sure that with the timing of it, Sirzechs did indeed want me to help cancel the engagement. Now, I could have easily refused him and just wandered this new world as a nomad, but I accepted as I had nothing else to do. He knew Rias hated Raiser's guts and wanted to help her."

"Your point?" Venerana asked.

"My point is, I don't think Sirzechs had a fuck to give about 'remedying the situation' as you so eloquently put it, and I have a feeling your husband didn't care either in the end." Kenshin said.

"Why is that?" Venerana asked, ignoring the fact that Kenshin just swore in front of her while everyone except Yukari, who sighed in exasperation, Miyuki, who was giggling to herself, and Hikari who was laughing on the inside, stared at Kenshin in surprise.

"He visited on Parent's Day at Kuoh Academy." Kenshin said. "I was with Rias the entire time he was at our house. If he was really bothered by it he'd have brought it up to Rias while he was there."

"He is right, I meant that statement as a joke." Lord Gremory said leaning back in his chair.

"Ah, w-well you could have said so, I thought you were being serious." Venerana said to her husband.

"Hahahaha, your fault for not catching on." Lord Gremory laughed. "We've been married for how long dear?"

"Now I have one more point to address. Is it really so selfish that Rias wanted someone who loved her for who she was, rather than WHO she was?" Kenshin asked putting emphasis on the second who. "Isn't all anyone ever wants in a significant other is that right there?"

"W...Well..." Venerana said.

"Hey, if you find that in an arranged married then more power to ya." Kenshin said raising his glass. "But that was never going to happen with Rias and Raiser."

"How would you know?" Lord Gremory asked, simply out of curiosity.

"Rias and I do talk often and her previous engagement does come up sometimes." Kenshin said. "Did you ever try to observe the two alone, without them knowing that you were there when the two were present here in the Underworld?"

"Well...no actually." Lord Gremory and Venerana both answered.

"Well, I won't go into the details of it, but one such time, Raiser tried numerous times to make advances on Rias, every one of which she refused. The fact that he kept trying is quite disturbing don't you agree?" Kenshin asked. "Surely you wouldn't discount your own daughter, even if you were in an arranged marriage contract with the Phenex."

"We wouldn't, trust me we love our daughter and would never think she was lying to us, if she was indeed telling the truth." Venerana said.

"Well, you know what kind of person does something like that?" Kenshin asked rhetorically. "Potential rapists that's who. He would have eventually gotten fed up with her refusal and tried to take her by force, and seeing as he could separate his body at will, all he'd have to do is restrain and silence her and he wouldn't be stopped until he sensed one of you, or your servants coming which could be solved by a locked door. It happens, He either gets busted when Lord Gremory blows the door off it's hinges or he just up and leaves after finishing. Rias would obviously confide in you, deeply scarred mentally by the sexual assault she had just endured no matter how long or short it lasted, you would immediately cancel your contract with the Phenex, enraging them and starting a clan war between the two of you as they would try to save face, not wanting something that dark and disgusting getting out." Kenshin explained. "Granted this is all hypothetical and should not be taken too seriously. It's just if you two have another daughter I would think about that before you go choosing her groom."

Lord Gremory and Venerana were floored by how extensive his hypothetical situation was. Venerana turned to Rias. "Rias...dear...did something like this really happen?"

Rias nodded. "There was one night where he just wouldn't stop coming on to me. I wanted to tell you, but I didn't think you'd believe me or worse you would and accuse Raiser of being a rapist and I didn't want to be responsible for a clan war." She said. "If Onii-Sama hadn't come into the room when he did, I fear he could have actually went through with it. I think that's when he decided to try and help me."

"...No wonder you threatened to renounce the family name." Lord Gremory said grabbing his daughter's hand. "Next time something like that happens, tell us. We would have believed you, while we might not have canceled the arrangement, we would have most definitely demanded that he be educated on how to treat women properly."

Rias nodded with a smile. "Thanks Otou-Sama, but I doubt I'll have to worry about that." She said grabbing Kenshin's hand, smiling at him.

"..." Venerana stared at her daughter. "Wow...she's honestly in love with him." She thought.

"As for your offer I suppose I'll accept." Kenshin said leaning back in his chair. "I'm going to be interacting with high class devils, Angels and Fallen Angels a lot in the future it seems, and I realize not everyone would be as accepting of my usual brash behavior." Kenshin said.

"Perfect." Venerana said with a smile. "You'll start with Millicas' tutor first thing in the morning."

Later that night, Kenshin was wandering the Gremory's household aimlessly. "Man...sooo thirsty." He said.

"Hm? Kenshin-San, what are you still doing up?" Kenshin turned to see Venerana dressed in a flowing pink nightgown.

"Thirsty..." Kenshin said. "That and it takes me a night to adjust to a new place."

"Oh. Well, as long as you're up, would you like to keep me company?" Venerana asked.

"...?" Kenshin mulled it over for a moment before nodding.

"Good!" Venerana smiled and guiding Kenshin to a balcony, where she set a bottle of wine on the edge. She poured herself a glass then she poured Kenshin a glass. "Sirzechs tells me you drink, so here."

"Thanks." Kenshin accepted it and took a sip. "Aah...so Venerana-Sama, what are you doing up?" He asked trying not to notice that the faint light around them made her nightgown slightly see through.

"Oh, I was just finishing a book and decided to get some fresh air." Venerana answered. "My husband is asleep already."

"I see." Kenshin said with a nod. "The Red Dragon Emperor is asleep as well, otherwise I'd probably be getting pestered by him gushing over your considerable bust size."

"Mhmhmhmhm..." Venerana giggled.

"Yeah, he's a breast man through and through." Kenshin said with a chuckle.

"Well, what do you like?" Venerana asked. "Just curious."

"Eh, I just like the female form in general. Like for instance, your bust size is nice, but your back side leaves little to be desired as well." Kenshin said.

"Oh? You were looking?" Venerana teased with a smile.

"Eh, I'm just your basic run of the mill guy at heart. My eyes are gonna wander from time to time." Kenshin said. "I'm just good about bringing them back to where they should be."

"Of course of course, but we women do have to keep you in line." Venerana giggled.

"Hahahahaha." Kenshin laughed. "That you do."

"But...while we're up here Kenshin-San...I'd like to thank you." Venerana said placing her hand on top of his.

"Hm?" Kenshin said. "What for?"

"For protecting our daughter." Venerana said with a smile. "And...to be honest I never thought about what you brought up."

"Well, it's not like it actually happened. I'm sure Raiser isn't that stupid." Kenshin said. "And if he is, well may the previous Satans rest his soul if Sirzechs or Lord Gremory got a hold of him."

"To be honest, I'm also a part of the Gremory due to an arranged marriage. I was originally a part of the Bael Clan, being born to the second mistress and as such was unable to take lordship over the clan." Venerana said. "That's where Sirzechs' and Rias' destruction magics come from."

"OK, let me amend my previous statement. Previous Satans rest his soul if Sirzechs, Lord Gremory or you got a hold of him." Kenshin said with a nervous grin.

"Hmhmhm, you're right to amend your statement. I was once known as the Brunette Madam of Destruction." Venerana said with a smile. "I'd have no trouble at all destroying him if he hurt my baby girl."

Kenshin shivered. "The fact that she can say that while smiling makes me nervous as hell." He thought.

"But enough about me. How have you been adjusting?" Venerana asked.

"Well, it's kinda weird for me to be honest. See, Yukari and I in particular came from a world where our lives were at risk daily. So I have to say this Venerana-Sama. I'll learn some better manners, but I can't promise I'll use them all the time. How I act right now is just simply too ingrained into who I am." Kenshin said.

"If you feel the time is right for your usual candor, then by all means." Venerana said waving him off. "But tell me Kenshin-San. Did you come to save my daughter from her engagement because you care deeply for her, or was it out of a desire to pay back Raiser for what he said about your family?"

"Well, I figured out it wasn't him after the first fight I had against him, and just as well, before the Rating Game...we did...kinda sorta...make out." Kenshin said glancing away from her with a tint of pink on his face.

"Hmhmhmhm. Claiming something that wasn't yours before someone else could. Considering the circumstances that brought us here, that is romantic." Venerana said. "But I understand, you need not answer the question."

Kenshin nodded. Kenshin noticed a red book in her hand, it seemed familiar to him. "Hey, may I see that book?"

"Oh, sure." Venerana smiled and handed him the book.

"!" Kenshin's eyes widened slightly. "Oh man, this is the first in the series that I've been reading!"

"Oh?" Venerana said. "Why would you not start from this one?"

"Because I never had it, all I own is this one." Kenshin said holding out his orange book.

"!" Venerana took it. "Oh my, this is the second book in the series, it's so rare I've never been able to find it, all I have is the first and third ones, and I've been dying to read the latter, but I never had the second." She said. "Might I borrow this?"

"Can I borrow this?" Kenshin asked.

"Of course!" Venerana said with a wide smile. "You can borrow the third book after I'm done with it as well."

"Aw sweet thanks!" Kenshin said with a wide grin of his own.

"Who woulda thought the wife of the Gremory Lord and Kenshin would both be into the same well written erotica?" Salamander said.

Venerana puts the book to the side as Kenshin bids her adieu, feeling well enough to go back to bed. "By the way, Kenshin-San."

"Huh?" Kenshin said turning back to her.

"You know, there isn't anything wrong with having a harem of women." Venerana said.

"Nn!" Kenshin stepped back.

"After all, my husband has one, I manage it as his main lover." Venerana smiled. "But if you do have one, make sure my daughter is the one managing it."

"I...I'll keep that in mind..." Kenshin said retreating from the balcony making Venerana giggle.

"Sirzechs said he had one previously, yet he still so awkward around women. I wonder why that is?" Venerana said.

(break)

The Next day.

"So, how are you feeling?" Rias asked Issei and Kenshin as they walked around the streets of Luciferd with everyone before getting on a private train. Luciferd was a city in the Satan's territory where the previous Lucifer lived or so Kenshin and Issei remembered Kiba saying.

"We've both got headaches..." Issei muttered.

"Yeah..." Kenshin murmured.

"Hey Kenshin." He turned to find Azazel walking up to him.

"Heya old man. Meeting run a little long?" Kenshin asked.

"Yeah." Azazel sighed. "But while I was resting I recalled a conversation I had with Ragnarok at the end of the war."

"Oh?" Kenshin said with a curious expression.

Yukari and Miyuki approached him. "We'd like to hear this as well."

"Well as long as you're gonna talk about it I guess we'll all listen in." Rias said as everyone else gathered around.

"Well, I was at one of my favorite bars, near the border between Fallen Angel territory and Devil territory when he came in. He must have been on his way back into Devil territory as he looked a little roughed up." Azazel said. "Anyway..."

(flashback)

Many years ago.

Azazel was sitting at one of the tables in the bar when a man wearing a crimson coat and pants with a matching shirt underneath. He had two swords, one black with flames on it, and the other white with a segmented sheathe with the lining reminding Azazel of clouds. His hair was long and dark, tied into a spiky ponytail reaching past his waist. His eyes were blue with slitted pupils.

"You know, your hair is kind of a weakness Ragnarok-San." Azazel sniped with a grin. "Anyone could grab it and slice your head off."

Ragnarok responded by smirking. "Well, they are certainly welcome to try, they simply can't get the drop on me."

"Indeed. Say, don't you usually wear blue samurai armor?" Azazel asked.

"Your underling tried to fight me again and destroyed it." Ragnarok shrugged. "He just doesn't learn."

"Aaah, Kokabiel's always been a battle maniac." Azazel said. "Sit down, let's have some drinks."

"Well, I'm never one to turn down a free drink." Ragnarok said taking a seat across from the Fallen Angel Governor.

Azazel ordered him a mug of ale. "So, what brings you through my neck of the woods?"

"Oh, just getting through to get back to Devil lands. I'll be leaving this world pretty soon. What with the war done and those two annoying dragons taken care of." Ragnarok said.

"Thanks for that by the way. We might have been able to handle it without yours and your brother's help, but we'd have lost a lot more people." Azazel said.

"Surrogate brother." Ragnarok said. "But yes, While I handled the two most annoying ones, my clan, my brother and his clan took care not to let me get overwhelmed."

"Of course. So why are you headin' to Devil Territory? Couldn't you just go home now?" Azazel said. "You found the way back shortly before the dragon battle right?"

"Aah, my clan says they've secured a treaty with one of the more prominent devil clans, so I'm going to meet them formally and look it over." Ragnarok said. "Funny thing is, my brother says he's already signed one with another prominent devil clan."

"Ah yes, the Sitiri clan." Azazel nodded. "Kinda funny, because he's a feline type youkai and the Sitiri mainly uses water spells."

"Pfft hahahahaha!" Ragnarok laughed. "Oh damn, I didn't even think about that!"

"Hahahaha!" Azazel laughed as they clanged their mugs together and knocked their ales back. "Aaahh." He sighed in relaxation. "So, you're leaving soon eh?"

"Yes. I was previously fighting in a war of my own when I got here with my clan, my brother and his clan." Ragnarok said.

"Oh, that is unfortunate." Azazel said. "All the more reason you should seriously get laid before you go, seriously I can line up some sexy Fallen Angel women right now!" He finished with a grin.

"I'm already spoken for and it's not that I wouldn't mind having a harem, but I believe my...'old lady' as you called her once, would constrict herself around me until I apologized like a hundred times." Ragnarok said with a sweatdrop.

"Constrict? What is she a snake demon or something?" Azazel asked.

"An echidna lamia to be exact." Ragnarok said.

"Whoa man you are into some kinky shit ain't ya?" Azazel said with a grin. "So there is something that the mighty Dragon of the Elements fears?"

"Yeah, it's called his pissed off mate." Ragnarok said with a shiver. "And I bet she's gonna be plenty pissed when I go back home, if she doesn't squeeze me to death she'll rape me to death."

"Hahahaha, you poor bastard." Azazel laughed.

"Anyway, my imminent doom aside. I must say, this Sacred Gear objects are really interesting." Ragnarok said.

"Ah? So you do share my interest in them." Azazel said with a grin.

"Well, I wouldn't say I share your fanaticism for them, I just think they're interesting. The idea of them might help me with something I've been thinking about ever since I first became a demon." Ragnarok said.

"Oh? What would that be? I could give you some advice at the very least." Azazel offered.

"You'd do that?" Ragnarok asked with an arched brow.

"Ah, we're no longer in wartime. I don't see you as an enemy, especially seeing as you're leaving soon anyway." Azazel said waving him off.

"Well...the thing is, I'm the only one in my world that can use all the elements, sure there are some demons who can use one element, but I'm the only one who can use them all." Ragnarok said.

"Yeah...?" Azazel said.

"Well what I eventually want to do is create a way for all demons, or really anyone that wants to, to be able to use the elements, but I keep hitting a snag." Ragnarok said.

"You realize that no one would ever be able to stand on your level as an equal." Azazel said.

"Yeah. I realize that I will not live forever. Eventually I will be killed." Ragnarok said. "So I want to be able to leave someone behind. A successor to my power, but if I do go this route I'm thinking of going, well...it'll never happen, as I believe I'll have to lower myself to everyone else's capacity, by cutting off all the excess."

"Hmm...I have an idea for you." Azazel said.

"Go ahead." Ragnarok said.

"Why not create four sentient beings to regulate the elements in the world, you'll have to lower yourself of course, but at least that excess power will be going somewhere to be productive." Azazel said.

"Hmm...well, with my mate's power, it's certainly possible to do that, but she prefers female creatures over men, not out of anything overly petty, it's just she's a woman and had been by herself for a long time, she had nothing to base men off of, so she used herself as the base. Hell her first six creations were all women, and it wasn't until the succubus she created complained about the lack of males that she started making male demons. " Ragnarok said.

"Understandable." Azazel said with a nod. "So let her have four women then."

"Eh, I think I will." Ragnarok said with a shrug. "The thing is, I also want these four to have their own thoughts and feelings. They will essentially be my daughters, but if I do that I'll have to entrust the power given to anyone who asks for it, and proves themselves worthy to be based on how much one of, or all my daughter separately like that person and it would be given subconsciously. I'd probably be around the same level as I am now albeit slightly weaker, as they would love me like their father, as that's what I would be."

"There's nothing wrong with that. They should all be pretty level headed like you." Azazel countered with a shrug.

"Oh I don't know about that. In addition to entrusting them with my excess power, they would also have to personify their element." Ragnarok said with a wry grin.

"Aaah, so the wind spirit would be a hyperactive chatty knucklehead, the earth spirit would probably be a taciturn silent person, the water spirit would probably be a serene, regal woman, and the flame spirit would have to be a fierce amazoness of a woman." Azazel nodded with a grin. "Well, you do have to exercise an great amount of trust anyway, so why not just do it?"

"I believe I will." Ragnarok shrugged. "Well, thanks for listening to my rambling Azazel, but I must be going." He said sliding his empty mug over to him.

"So, you're gonna sign a treaty with the Gremory clan eh?" Azazel asked.

"You know the clan my clan secured the treaty with?" Ragnarok asked with a curious look.

"Yes. From what I hear they've been trying to secure one with your clan for quite some time now, but you were always busy so you couldn't hear them out." Azazel said.

"Well, I suppose I'll see if I can't ram an arrangement where we seal the treaty fully with a marriage, but only if one or both of us are dying out." Ragnarok shrugged.

"Sounds good. Happy traveling." Azazel waved.

Ragnarok waved him off and left the bar.

(flashback end)

"So Sir Ragnarok actually created the spirits that Kenshin-kun gleans his power from?" Kiba asked.

"With the help of his mate, Kinda weird that she was a snake woman though." Issei said. "Your ancestor was into that sort of thing?"

"Apparently. The echidna lamia Ragnarok was referring to was likely the Goddess of Darkness, or the True Goddess of Demonkind." Kenshin said.

"EH? !" Everyone except Koneko blanched.

"K-Kenshin, your ancestor managed to woo a goddess? !" Azazel shouts. "He never mentioned that!"

"Other way around apparently. My grandfather, RyuuTaisho Kuroshi told me that Ragnarok was born a human and gave up his humanity to be with the Dark Goddess. Apparently she had been meeting him multiple times beforehand." Kenshin said.

"So even demons can turn humans into one of them?" Rias asked.

"With enough dark magic, yes." Kenshin said with a nod.

"So Kenshin, all you gotta do to get more power is have those four warm up to ya some more." Azazel said making Kenshin roll his eyes. "What?"

"I'm not some power hungry jackass who uses people like that." Kenshin said. "If the spirits are gonna warm up to me, it'll because they want to, not because I need them to."

"Aww that's so sweet Kenshin-Chan!" Sylph giggled.

"..." Gnome nodded in approval.

"That's the correct way of going about it." Undine said with an approving smile.

"Besides, we know what you're thinking as you're thinking it, so we'd know if we were just a means to an end to you." Salamander said with a grin.

"Good to know. I'm glad to have your support." Kenshin thought.

Soon the train stopped and entered a spacious elevator Rias spoke up from here. "Alright, I cannot stress this enough, but do not go picking a fight with anyone in the room above. They are our future rivals."

Everyone nodded with Issei and Asia looking nervous. "Alright, I can't look unsightly here, there are other pawns here!" Issei thought.

"That's fine, granted they don't try to screw with us." Yukari shrugged.

Rias went to say something when Kenshin cut in. "Rias, all she's saying is that we'll keep to ourselves if they do." Rias sighed and nodded. They exited the elevator and were guided to a hall, but not before running into someone Rias knew.

"Sairaorg!" Rias called out. "It's been too long."

A rough, yet good looking fellow with short black hair, with an energetic appearance came up to them, He reminded Kenshin and Issei of Sirzechs. The latter shivered at the pulse of power emanating from him while Kenshin allowed a small smirk to tug at his lips.

"It's been awhile indeed, Rias." He said.

"Everyone, this is Sairaorg Bael. My cousin on my mother's side." Rias introduced.

"Chief's mother was originally from the Bael family?" Issei wondered quietly.

"Oh right, you were asleep when I was talking to Venerana-Sama last night so you couldn't have know that." Kenshin whispered back to him.

"Nice to meet you all!" Sairaorg greeted with a grin. "You." He said to Kenshin.

"Hm?" Kenshin said.

"You're quite popular among the battle maniacs here." Sairaorg said. "Martial Artists included. We can't let it get too destructive, but could I trouble you for a quick spar?"

"?" Kenshin stared for a moment before glancing at Rias who sighed in exasperation. "Go ahead."

"Hmm? You're gonna let her make your decision for you?" Sairaorg said with another grin.

"Well I am her fiancee, I'm trying not to cause trouble for her." Kenshin said with narrowed eyes. "But if she says it's alright then I've got no reason to refuse."

"Alright." Sairaorg said as Rias, Yukari, Miyuki, Hikari, Issei and the others gave them space. Kenshin and Sairaorg slipped into the respective stances. "First successful strike wins."

"Fair enough." Kenshin said with a calm smile as he flipped a coin into the air. As soon as it hit the the floor the two met in a flurry of strikes, each as unsuccessful as the last.

"My my, Kenshin-kun is actually matching your cousin blow for blow Rias." Akeno said with a smile.

"Wow..." Rias said in awe.

"Jeez, is there something this guy can't do?" Issei muttered.

"Cast illusion magic?" Yukari quipped.

"I can't do that either." Issei muttered.

"Boost his power every ten seconds?" Miyuki said with a sympathizing smile.

"Hahaha, th-thanks Miyuki-San." Issei said with a small grin.

"You're pretty good." Sairaorg said with a grin as he drove his knee at Kenshin's stomach only to have it blocked. He punched at Kenshin's head only for Kenshin to move it out of the way.

"I could say the same about you." Kenshin said with a matching grin. "You're a far better fighter than Raiser was, I can tell."

"What about the White Dragon Emperor?" Sairaorg asked as he was forced to dodge out of the way of two palm strikes and a spin kick before blocking a straight forward kick from Kenshin.

"I couldn't tell you, I jumped in at the middle of the fight between him and the Red Dragon Emperor, so I couldn't get a decent read on his skills." Kenshin said.

"Ha! I see." Sairaorg said as they both feinted punches at each other's faces before slugging one another across the face. "Agh!"

"Ngh!" Kenshin grunted as he and Sairaorg stepped back. "Well, it's a tie."

Sairaorg shrugged. "Looks that way. You hit pretty hard, must be that earth spirit of yours."

"Actually I wasn't using Gnome." Kenshin said. "Otherwise I probably wouldn't have felt half the strength in your punch." The only spirit I was using was Undine to heighten my perception, in case your buddies back there wanted to jump in.

"Aah, they wouldn't have. They know not to interrupt one of my spars." Sairaorg said.

"Sorry then, force of habit." Kenshin said.

"Hahaha, don't sweat it." Sairaorg laughed. "Come on, let's head back to the meeting hall everyone, that includes yours and Rias' peerages."

Kenshin nodded and he, Rias and everyone else followed Sairaorg and his peerage to the meeting hall where a fight between the Agares and the Zephyrdol peerages. Sairaorg sighed and approached them.

"Whoa whoa whoa, hang on dude it's dangerous over there!" Issei warned.

Kenshin shook his head. "This won't even be a problem for him."

"Yes, watch closely Issei, Sairaorg is number one amongst all the young devils." Rias said.

"Number one? As in the strongest?" Issei asked as Sairaorg stepped between the two peerages.

"Seegvaira, princess of the Agares family and Zephyrdol, rebel child of the Glaysa-Labolas family, if you go any further than you already have, I will be your opponent, I know this is sudden, but this is your last warning, if you continue I shall use my fists without mercy." Sairaorg said with an even tone.

"Wh-Whoa...such power..." Issei said.

"For the incompetent Bael Family to interrupt us is nothing short of insu-!" Before Zephyrdol could finish his sentence he was slammed into the wall by an attack from Sairaorg. He fell unconscious in a heap shortly after.

"You bastard! Damn Bael Family!"

Zephyrdol's servants nearly charged Sairaorg all at once only to be stopped by a wave of pure intimidation. They turned to the source to find Kenshin striding up to them with his arms crossed. "Don't you think it's a little presumptuous to assume you can beat someone who just leveled your master with one blow? Even with all your numbers? You should look after your master. Attacking him, or even me if you can fight off my Serene Conqueror will gain you nothing."

"Yes, now go." Sairaorg said before turning to Seegvaira. "I trust you have no other objections either?"

"O...Of course not." She said before leaving with her peerage.

Sairaorg nodded and turned to Kenshin as everyone approached them. "I could have handled that myself."

"Eh, I wanted to throw my weight around a bit." Kenshin said.

"Eh, I guess you're an eager Prince." Sairaorg said with a shrug.

"Prince?" Kenshin asked. "Isn't that an Ultimate Devil ranking?"

"Yup, On the opposite end of the specturm of my own.." Sairaorg said. "The Ultimate class really has a lot of space between power levels and ranks. Your current level of power suggests you're a Marquis, highest rank of the high class devils, but your actions in defeating a clan heir with a proven track record in Rating Games in Raiser Phenex. Beating Kokabiel of the Fallen Angel Grigori half to death and standing toe to toe with the White Dragon Emperor prompted a rank up, however your personal rank does not reflect on your clan's ranking. The Kuroshi Tsuki clan's ranking, if I remember correctly I believe is Count as you only have one low end middle rank devil on your peerage, in your mother who can't use the elements as your sisters can. Your sisters themselves are Baronesses which are the bridge between middle rank and high rank while your mother is a Dame. In short, impressing the Satans goes a long way."

"I see...so I'm a Prince, my sisters are Baronesses and my mother is a Dame. I could have sworn Sirzechs said he gave me the lowest nobility rank possible though." Kenshin said.

"He did, he originally bestowed upon your clan the rank of Baron and yourself the rank of Margrave while your power reflected that of a Baron, the other Satans even Lady Serafall thought he was crazy when he did such a thing, but he insisted you wouldn't disappoint them. Then you fought Kokabiel and earned your clan the rank of Viscount and yourself the rank of Marquis. Then you fought the White Dragon Emperor with the Red Dragon Emperor's help and attained your clan attained the rank of Count while you personally stepped into the Ultimate Class Devil rankings as a Prince. He said ranking you fairly was kinda confusing. No one else other than Rias over there at your rank then would have tried to fight Kokabiel, just instead opting to wait for help."

"Huh..." Kenshin stroked his chin in thought. "Wonder why he did that?"

"Because the two actions you performed or were a part of performing were military achievements." Sairaorg said. "That used to be the fastest way to rank up during the war, but since there isn't any wars anymore. The Rating Games are the fastest way now."

"I see." Kenshin shrugged. "Neat. What about this idiot though?" Kenshin said holding up Issei. "He did help me take down the White Dragon Emperor."

"Hmm...his current level of power says he's the lowest ranking possible." Sairaorg said with a grin. "But...I'd say with his Boosted Gear all the way boosted up he could take down a Viscount."

"That high?" Rias asked. "That's impressive."

"No kidding." Kenshin said with an impressed whistle.

"Now back to you, usually you would be tested, but seeing as it's Lord Sirzechs' responsibility to keep watch on you, he decided himself that the tests weren't necessary." Sairaorg said to Kenshin.

"I dunno how I feel about all the preferential treatment he's giving me." Kenshin said with narrowed eyes. "Seriously, I'm starting to feel like Rias." Rias responded by pinching his cheek and tugging on it. "Ow! Ow! Cahme ohn Rhias I hwas khiddihng!" He complained making everyone around them laugh except Koneko

"Neh heh heh." Issei snickered.

"Oh, has it already begun?" Everyone turned to see Sona entering the hall flanked by her peerage.

"Oh, heya Saji, Tsubaki, Sona." Kenshin said. "Been getting teased by Serafall lately Sona?" He asked with a grin.

"Yes, keep that grin on your face Kuroshi-kun, you know as well as I do that you're next." Sona said with a sliver of a smile tugging at her lips.

"..." Kenshin shivered. "Damn, she's right." He said with a slump.

"Hmhmhm..." Sona laughed to herself.

The group of devils proceeded onward eventually coming up to Seegvaira who turned to them. "You've finally decided to come. I am Seegvaira Agares, I suppose I owe you thanks for taking care of that idiot for me, even though that was not your intention."

"Just preventing anything stupid from happening." Sairaorg said with a shrug.

"Anyway, I'm the heiress of the Agares Clan, Rank Archduke." Seegvaira said

"Personal rank?" Kenshin asked.

"Princess." Seegvaira answered.

"Ah." Kenshin nodded.

"A member of an Archduke clan? You mean the same that issues out jobs to other devils?" Issei asked. "As well as a Princess on her own that's amazing for someone so young!" He praised.

"Hmhmhmhm, thank you for the kind words." Seegvaira said with a small smile.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Rias Gremory, heiress of the Gremory Clan." Rias introduced.

"Kenshin Tsuki Kuroshi, Current Lord of the Kuroshi Tsuki clan which is ranked as Count apparently, Personal rank, Prince." Kenshin said.

"Impressive." Seegvaira nodded. "I've heard of your recent exploits alongside Lady Rias' peerage."

"Well I had help." Kenshin shrugged. "Probably shouldn't be ranked as the lowest end of the Ultimate Devil scale, but here we are."

"Well, take pride in it at least." Sairaorg said slapping Kenshin on the shoulder.

"I'm Sona Sitiri, heiress to the Sitri clan." Sona introduced.

"I'm Sairaorg Bael, personal rank Great King." Sairaorg introduced with a grin.

"Shit, the rank just under the Satans?" Kenshin whistled.

"Which is why you should take some pride in your rank. Not everyone can go blow for blow with me." Sairaorg said.

"Well, we'll find that out if we ever have to cross fists for real." Kenshin said crossing his arms with a grin.

"Ha ha, indeed!" Sairaorg laughed.

"Man how is Kenshin not the least bit intimidated by all these powerful beings?" Issei thought. "I'm standin' here trying not to sweat!"

"Hahahaha!" Ddraig laughed.

"Shut up Ddraig!" Issei snapped.

"Oi Hyoudou, try not to look so pathetic." Saji said.

"How can you not be? There's so many powerful beings here." Issei whispered.

"Yeah, but aren't you the Red Dragon Emperor?" Saji asked.

"I am, but I haven't had that much experience." Issei said.

"Well try to maintain dignity, it's for your master's sake as well. The higher ups aren't just watching them you know." Saji said. "We're also under a microscope."

"Yeah so calm down." Miyuki said slapping Issei on the back.

"I'm Diodora Astaroth." A boy with gentle features said sipping tea. "Next head of the Astaroth family, please take care of me everyone."

"Astaroth, isn't that the family the current Beelzelbub comes from?" Issei asked.

"It is." Sairaorg nodded.

Before any of them could continue with their chatting, an employee came through the door. "Sorry for the wait, but it's time."

"Hm?" Sairaorg, Rias, Sona, Seegvaira, Diodora, Kenshin and everyone else said.

"Huh, looks like everything's underway." Kenshin thought.

"Looks like the function is starting, at last!" Issei thought.

(chapter end)

Draconis: Was kinda all over the place with this one.

Rias: Well this was your first chapter writing using the Light Novels so it's to be expected.

Draconis: Eh, true.

Kenshin: So, I'm a Prince.

Yukari: Seems that way.

Draconis: Before anyone asks, I doubt the spirits will be a part of any harem. So Kenshin didn't just get four new harem members. Also I have a bit of a surprise for next chapter

Kenshin: What would that be? (crickets chirping) Seriously?

Anyway, the young devils meeting begins, next chapter it gets underway. See you all then.
