Draconis: Just gonna say it now, Sorry if this comes out a little later than usual, I'm in the middle of a remodel of my house.
Akeno: Oh? How nice
Kenshin: Well it's not so much a remodel as it is he and his family cleaning up a bit and moving some shit around.
Draconis: But enough about my boring personal life. Let's just get on with the chapter. I've got no guest reviews to address at the moment
Dragon of the Elements
Chapter 45
Dragons and Mating Season?
Draconis: Begin!
(start)
Kenshin woke up the next day, he saw Akeno and Rias laying next to him. "...?" He had a curious stare on his face before the memories of the night before came to him. "...Heh." He said quietly as not to rouse the two beauties. He started to move to get out of bed when Akeno's arms wrapped around his neck lovingly.
"Where are you going, Kenshin-kun?" Akeno asked, her boobs on either side of his left arm, kissing him on the cheek.
"Well, I was hoping to take a bath." Kenshin said.
"Mm, need someone to wash your back?" Akeno asked. "...or maybe your front." She said, groping his manhood.
"Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of taking a bath?" Kenshin asked with a small, aroused smirk.
"Not if you do it right." Kenshin felt a pair of lips on his right cheek and turned to find Rias awake as well.
"Y'know, they ought to change your screen name on the show to the Lust Princess." Kenshin said with a snicker. "Anyway, let's not. Someone would be down there to interrupt it before it got anywhere anyway."
"OK." Rias and Akeno said as the three of them got up and got dressed.
"Rias." Kenshin called out, as he slipped his shirt and jacket on.
"Yes?" Rias asked, as she was about to leave his room.
"Training today, just reminding you." Kenshin said.
"I know." Rias said waving him off."I'll be there."
"You know, she learned a lot from her game against Sairaorg, and from you as well, Kenshin-kun." Akeno said after Rias left.
"Hm? Like?" Kenshin asked.
"Well for starters, despite all the big names, the match against the Sitri and Agares was regarded as the better match strategically." Akeno said.
"I saw that. They have a point. It seemed like your match was just 'We're gonna send our strongest available person or team, try to beat them.'" Kenshin said. "Strategically, my match probably wasn't very good either. Tamamo blew Kuisha away when she unsealed herself, and Sairaorg and I just beat the piss out of each other."
"Ufufu." Akeno giggled. "But anyway. After her first day training, she contacted her brother and asked for anything he had on the Power of Destruction."
"Aww, they named a power after me." Yuurei chided.
"They're completely different." Kenshin thought.
"And yet somehow the same!" Yuurei laughed.
"Ugh." Kenshin thought with a visibly annoyed look.
"Umm...am I irritating you?" Akeno asked.
"No, I recently had another occupant added into my head. He won't shut up...jeez how weird is it that I can openly say that?" Kenshin said. "I heard what you said, Sirzechs' power is like the ultimate Wizard Type attack and Rias' is more characterized for Power? Hm..."
"Do you have any ideas?" Akeno asked.
"Yes, as a matter 'o fact I do, but this also supports my compression theory." Kenshin said. "Something characterized for power, getting compressed densely...the possibilities." He stroked his chin in thought. "Hm..."
"Kenshin-kun?" Akeno said.
"Do you know where Rias put her information on the subject?" Kenshin asked.
"Uhm, I believe she keeps it in her desk at the club building." Akeno said.
"Got it. Thanks Akeno...oh, and by the way?" Kenshin said.
"Yes?" Akeno said.
"Don't be so down that you lost to Kuisha, she's one of the top Queens in the Youth Devils, only surpassed by Tamamo, while you are right behind her. I believe next time you'll get her."
"..." Akeno smiled radiantly. "Thank you Kenshin-kun, to hear something like that from you means a lot."
Kenshin grinned in response. "Don't mention it."
Kenshin left the room and and opened up a communication line. "Hello?" Sona said on the other end. "What is it Kenshin?"
"I was wondering if I could take the day off. I need to look into some things to help Rias with her training." Kenshin said.
"Can't it wait?" Sona asked.
"'Fraid not, I'll keep all my work up if that's what you're concerned about." Kenshin said.
"It's not, why don't you just send a clone to class?" Sona asked.
"Hm...that would be a weird reason to use my Balance Breaker, but an excuse to train how long I can use it. But I'd have to leave class every fifty five minutes to swap them out." Kenshin said.
"I'll just make an excuse that you're running errands for me." Sona said.
"Ah, thanks." Kenshin said.
"Um Kenshin, before you go, could I ask you something?" Sona asked.
"What's up?" Kenshin asked.
"Would it be too much trouble for me to ask for help with my own training from time to time?" Sona asked.
"Hm..." Kenshin said. "Do you have a pool in your house?"
"Yes." Sona nodded.
"OK, that will do, but really, with your magic the only thing limiting you is your own imagination." Kenshin said. "Unless..."
"What?" Sona asked.
"Can I put you on hold for a quick moment?" Kenshin said.
"Um, OK." Sona said.
"Hey Undine, would you mind helping me help her?" Kenshin thought.
"I don't see why not? I admire people who make an effort to better themselves with my element." Undine said with a smile.
"OK thanks Undine, I owe you one." Kenshin thought.
"That doesn't sound like you." Salamander chided.
"Oh please Salamander, like you wouldn't do the exact same thing if Kenshin asked you to help him with that Phoenix girl's training." Undine scoffed.
"Eh, ya got me there." Salamander shrugged.
"OK, I'm back and I have an idea." Kenshin said.
"Yes?" Sona asked.
"We could try having you train with the water spirit Undine...and not one of those you find at in the world of familiars." Kenshin said.
"Hahaha, I know." Sona laughed. "She wouldn't mind though?"
"That's what I put you on hold for, so I could ask." Kenshin said.
"OK. Tell her thank you for me." Sona said.
"You just did." Kenshin said. "Oh and Sona?"
"Yes?" Sona asked.
"...Your lips feel nice." Kenshin admitted before cutting the call off.
On the other end, Sona touched her lips, a dark red hue painted across her face. "...They...feel nice?" She murmured before a smile spread across her face. "Hmph...flatterer."
That afternoon Kenshin and Rias were standing in the dojo under the house. "Alright, I've looked over your brother's notes that he sent you about the power of destruction, and before you say anything, yes I had to read them to get a decent idea of what I'm really dealing with here."
"I don't mind." Rias shook her head. "I was gonna show you soon anyway, as soon as you got some free time."
"Yeah, sorry about that." Kenshin said scratching behind his ears with a grin.
"It's OK." Rias said. "So what did you get out of it?"
"Well, nothing I didn't already know actually, but I just wanted to confirm what I did know." Kenshin said. "Akeno also told me your power is characterized for just that, power, however...your power can have more than one characteristic." Kenshin said. "...man I could have worded that better."
"Hehehe..." Rias let out a few hushed giggles at her fiancee. "I got the gist of what you were saying,"
"He's right you know." Kenshin looked over to find Tamamo sitting on his shoulder.
"How do you keep doing that?" Kenshin said with narrowed eyes. "Seriously, unless I'm in my Balance Breaker you can do that."
"Ufufufu, that's my little secret." Tamamo said as she jumped off of him. "Anyway, Kenshin's right. Even my power has more than one characteristic. I can use it as straight up strength or as a wizard attack and I have plenty of technique attacks and that's not even counting my true form and then there's Kenshin's power which has a little bit of everything."
"Training will still be the same, but I was curious...would you want to learn how to fight in a more up close and personal manner?" Kenshin asked.
"Huh? You mean learn how to sword fight and use my fists like you do." Rias asked.
"Somewhat. It wouldn't be anything more than a last resort in case an enemy got in close and destruction magic blasting wasn't cutting it. Truthfully in time, I'd like you to be able to compress your destruction magic on your limbs like Sirzechs does. Could you imagine someone with your primary characteristic of destruction magic, knowing how to physically defend themselves with the ability to wield the destruction magic on their limbs." Kenshin said.
"...Alright, I'm in." Rias shrugged. "I could stand to learn it after seeing how you, Sairaorg and Issei fight, but I'm comfortable with my current style of fighting."
"That's why it's just a precaution." Tamamo said.
"And you're right, if Sairaorg, Issei and I teamed up and dove into an army of Khaos Brigade cronies, we would beat wholesale ass." Kenshin said with a grin. "But take into account, when I was training like this before, I had a place where the laws of time were bent. We do not have that now. So until I deem it ready, you do not use it in live combat."
"Got it." Rias said.
(break)
Next day.
Everyone was sitting in the dining room eating. "So hows the training going? I hear Kenshin's training you for close combat." Yukari said.
"He is." Rias said taking a sip of her tea. "It's actually quite fun, especially when I need to have something corrected, he comes up close and corrects it for me using a hands on approach...haa..." She let out a shuddering sigh.
"..." Yukari looked over at Kenshin who was eating pancakes. "Kenshin, I think I need some help with my stances, I'm having trouble with the Elemental Spica."
"Huh?" Kenshin said with his mouth full before tipping his head back and swallowing it whole. He wiped his face. "OK, we'll go work on it later today."
Yukari turned to Rias with a victorious smirk. Rias glared in response. "Aren't you two well past that stage." Miyuki asked, sipping her tea. The two sweatdropped and laughed awkwardly.
"Aaah." Kenshin said. "Great job on the pancakes Ravel."
"A-Ah, th-thank you Kenshin-Sama." Ravel said with a blush.
"Thanks for cooking me breakfast Asia. It was great." Issei said with a smile.
"O-Of course." Asia said with a shy smile. "I-Irina-San and Sextum-San helped."
"Huh? I didn't know you could cook Sextum." Kenshin said with Issei nodded.
"Well Tertium, Quintum and Quartum were all horrible at it. Someone had to be good at cooking." Sextum said taking a sip of her coffee. "I..I'm glad you like it though...I-Issei-kun."
Kenshin snickered. "Hey Issei, you and Sextum should go on a date sometime."
"E-Eeh?" Sextum said with a scarlet blush.
Kenshin turned to Rias only to not find her in her seat. He blinked as a bento was placed in front of him. He found it was Rias who was handing it to him. "Y'know, with your training, you don't have to cook for me if you're too tired."
"Oh I'm fine." Rias said waving him off with a smile.
"Well if you say so." Kenshin said. "Thank you."
Rias' smile widened. "Of course."
"By the way, has anyone seen Gasper?" Issei asked.
"He's doing some training in the dojo by himself." Evangeline said, taking a sip of her tea, which she had spiked with blood.
"Eeh? ! Gyasuke is actually training alone? !" Issei said only to get chopped on the head by Kenshin.
"Don't sound so shocked. Of course he's training alone. He came up to me and told me he was gonna train to achieve his Balance Breaker, so I've been putting a vial of my blood in his room a day." Kenshin said.
"Jeez Kenshin, you're just helping out with everyone's training." Kazumi laughed.
"Hey Issei, take Kazumi on a separate date." Kenshin said sipping his tea.
"Eeh? !" Kazumi said. "Don't just say it out loud dammit! Why single me out? !"
"Because I found the 'Forbidden Fruits' in your room last night along with a receipt booklet." Kenshin said.
Kazumi paled. "Aaah...s-so you did h-huh...?" She turned only to turn white as a sheet as she saw Yukari glaring at her.
"You've...been pedaling Haruna's doujin series about us?" Yukari asked.
"If you're selling them, the money will now go to me." Kenshin said. "They are about Yukari and I and we will split the profits forty-forty-twenty. Forty apiece for Yukari and I and twenty for you. Your cut would be larger than ours, but you didn't draw them, Haruna did."
"F-Fine..." Kazumi said bowing her head in defeat.
"And Issei is forbidden from seeing them!" Yukari snapped.
"Eh? Why? Kenshin said they're just romance doujins." Issei said. Miyuki, Evangeline, Xenovia and Hikari snickered. "What?"
"Nothing, don't worry about it." Kenshin said. "Why were you laughing?" He asked Xenovia.
"She bought them looking for tips on how to better please you." Kazumi said. Xenovia facepalmed in response.
"You said that was confidential." Xenovia said.
"Then you shouldn't have brought attention on yourself." Kazumi said.
"She has a point." Tamamo said. "Whatever though, but if you want some tips, swing by my room."
"Koneko-San, what's the matter?" Ravel asked, approaching the white haired nekoshou.
"It's nothing..." Koneko said, looking visibly uncomfortable.
Ravel placed her hand on Koneko's forehead and looked at her. "Are you sure? Your face is a bit red, is it a flu? If it is I'll whip you up an apple sorbet using apples from my family's territory."
Koneko moved Ravel's hand. "There's no need." She pushed away from the table and walked off only to bump into Kenshin before she left the room. Her face got redder in response. "S-Senpai?"
"Are you sure everything's alright?" Kenshin asked with a concerned look.
"Y-Yes, it's nothing serious." Koneko said.
"Well, OK, but you know you can come see me or any member of my peerage if it's something you're embarrassed to bother Rias about." Kenshin said petting her head with a smile.
"Ufufufufu," Tamamo giggled to herself, knowing exactly what was going on with the nekoshou girl.
"Th-Thank you, I'll keep that in mind." Koneko said.
Hikari cleared her throat before Koneko could fully leave the room. "So Kenshin, when can I expect my first grandchild?"
(crash!)
Kenshin faceplanted. He pulled his face out of the floor and turned to his mother glaring with a blush. "Mom! What the hell? !"
"Well come on, I wanna know." Hikari laughed.
Meanwhile Rias and Yukari looked shy, Akeno cupped her cheek and giggled, while Xenovia donned a thoughtful look. "She has a point in asking you know. Even with the low birth rates of devils, it's only a matter of time before you get someone pregnant." Tamamo chimed in.
"Hm...maybe I'll have a grandchild from the son I never knew I wanted." Hikari said glancing at Issei.
"PFFT!" Issei and Irina both did a spit take while Asia, Sextum, Kazumi and oddly enough Chachamaru all blushed. "H-Hikari-San!" Issei shouts. "At least let me progress the relationships normally!"
"Seriously..." Kenshin muttered. "I just want to enjoy happiness with Rias, Yukari, Akeno, Xenovia and everyone else. I'm not concerned with having a son or daughter just yet."
"Hahahahahaha!" Hikari laughed. "Oh this is too good!"
"What we have here is a 'Bakaa-chan.' Rossweisse said sipping her coffee calmly.
"...Grandchild...baby...happiness..." Koneko said.
(break)
That night.
The Gremory and Kuroshi peerages were in the VIP room with Sirzechs, Grayfia and Azazel. In front of them was Rias, Issei, Kiba, and Akeno, as well as Kenshin. "Alright, just as I told you before, Issei-kun, Kiba-kun, Akeno-kun. The topic of you getting promoted has been decided by we the Four Satans and some of the top ranking council members." Sirzechs said. "Also, Kenshin you've had time to mull it over, have you decided to put anyone up for promotion consideration?"
"I have." Kenshin nodded. "My Queen Tamamo and my second Bishop Evangeline. Both are far stronger than their ranks suggest, something my Queen demonstrated recently and my Bishop demonstrated in Mundus Magicus."
Tamamo smiled casually while Evangeline let a small smirk appear on her face. Sirzechs nodded. "I figured you would name them. Seeing as your sisters and mother are already middle class. Very well, I will give my recommendation and I'm sure the other Satans will follow suit and the council will follow suit."
"Except for of course Lord Bael, who is probably looking for ways to stick it to me." Kenshin said.
Sirzechs sighed. "Yes. Usually with your actions, you would be promoted all the way to high class, but we figured it would be a better idea to have you become middle class first and get some experience in higher ranks."
"And Kenshin? It seems like whenever he does something noteworthy, he's promoted." Evangeline said.
"Well he was a special case. He and Issei were both reincarnated by Rias, but the pawn pieces she used all went to Issei. So technically Kenshin was free to do whatever he wanted, but it would cause Issei to soon become a stray devil. We couldn't have that so I promoted Kenshin to the lowest rank of devil nobility and he got his evil piece set after thrashing Raiser." Sirzechs said. Evangeline nodded.
"So we could become high class devils if we wanted?" Issei asked.
"Of course." Grayfia said.
"It's more like an expected result due to you being the Chichiryuutei." Azazel said.
"...I never thought I'd see the day they named a dragon after breasts." Evangeline said taking a pull off a wine bottle. "This is a strange world."
Kenshin laughed awkwardly. "I know how you feel Evangeline.
"So will you accept this?" Sirzechs asked.
"I will accept as the Queen of Rias Gremory's peerage." Akeno said with a respectful bow.
Kiba did the same. "I will accept, as her Knight."
"I'll accept as her Pawn." Issei said.
"I'm in." Evangeline stated bluntly.
"Same here." Tamamo said waving herself with her fan.
"Pfft, I find it funny how Rias' servants act all formal when accepting, and Kenshin's are just blunt as hell." Azazel laughed. "Kenshin, your servants act like you do."
"Or maybe I act like them, who knows." Kenshin shrugged.
Everyone congratulated them on the recommendation. "Oh, Issei-kun I was asked to give this to you by Lady Agares. Seeing as I was coming here anyway." Sirzechs said handing him a letter.
"Hm?" Issei said opening it.
Issei,
I'm pregnant and it's yours. (Cue Issei freakout here.)
Hahahaha! I am so sorry, my mother told me to put that! Now that I have your attention. I wanted to ask if you had any time, and if you did, if you would mind helping me shop for presents for my parents and my soon to be born little brother. If you don't have the time, don't worry about it. I just figured you would want to spend some time together.
Sincerely yours.
Seekvaira Agares
Issei grumbled about bespectacled blonde heiresses and their mothers that shouldn't joke about certain things. "It's great that they all got recommendations for promotion, isn't it Koneko-San?" Ravel asked.
"Huh? Oh, yes...congratulations." Koneko said with a smile, small though it was and it was noticeably strained.
"..." Kenshin stared at her. "Hmm...she doesn't seem upset by anything, but she just looks uncomfortable...why does that sound so familiar?" He wondered.
"OK, now the promotion test will take place next week in the Underworld." Sirzechs said.
"That early?" Issei asked.
"Yes, and you will have to start now as a matter o fact." Grayfia said. "Part of it is writing out a report of what you will do as a Middle Class Devil, using your desires as a theme. It also helps to talk about what you've gained already and if you can amuse the examiners, you're already doing well."
"The report is your first priority but don't forget to study for the written test." Azazel advised. "Especially you Issei. As for the practical part of it...well that should be a breeze for all five of ya."
"No kidding." Evangeline said.
"Won't be a problem at all." Tamamo said.
"Uhm, just one question." Issei said. "Could we lose our recommendation? Say we botch it, the tests."
"No, once you've gotten it, it can't be taken away without good reason. You can take the tests as many times as you please." Sirzechs said. "The sudden recommendation might put you at unease, but you have nothing really to worry about."
"Thanks...I'll try my best." Issei said pumping his fist with a resolute look. "After all I got a dream to fulfill."
"Alright, now that that is settled, I'll be heading out." Rossweisse said.
"Huh? Rossweisse-San, you're leaving?" Issei asked.
"Hey yeah, who is teaching class in the mean time?" Miyuki asked.
"The Academy already found a substitute for me." Rossweisse said. "I just feel like I've been holding you all back lately and so I've decided to return home to train."
Kenshin nodded. "I already knew as much, but I was waiting for a right time to hand you this." Kenshin pulled a book out of his pocket and handed it to her. "This is my personal spell book, given to me by Negi's father Nagi. I've already memorized all the spells, I just don't use them very much."
"I...I can't..." Rossweisse stammered out with a blush.
"Consider it a return gift for this." Kenshin said gesturing toward the bracelet on his right wrist.
"Uuu...O-OK." Rossweisse said pressing her fingers together, her blush getting darker.
Kenshin grinned. "OK, good luck with it."
"Right. Looking at the balance of the Gremory group, it would be good to have someone who predominately uses magic." Azazel said.
"What are Rias and Akeno? Chopped Liver?" Yukari snorted.
"Well there's that, but they need more. In the Rating Game against Kenshin, when it was just his immediate family. Kenshin and Miyuki were basically able to troll Rias into playing a divide and conquer game, if he tried to challenge her head to head, the chances of him losing would have went up drastically. If he wasn't so hungry to face Issei's Balance Breaker at the time, Kenshin would have won that game and in the match against Sona, with the exception of Issei, it was an even match, so Sona crippled him using Saji. The name of the game against you all is 'defeat them before they defeat us.'" Azazel explained.
"Well what about Kenshin and his peerage?" Irina asked.
"Kenshin, he's done a remarkable job building his peerage. He's gathered servants that can do any number of things on the battlefield, they are well balanced, able to go for power, technique, support or if needed they can even get into a magic duel with another team and have good chances of coming out on top." Sirzechs explained.
"And I've still got a Knight, a Rook, and one to four pawns to add." Kenshin said with a grin.
"So Rias, would it be OK to send Rossweisse back to Valhalla to train?" Azazel asked.
"Of course, we're all trying to better ourselves here, if she thinks her place to train is back home, I won't stand in the way." Rias said. "Good luck."
"Thank you, and I've already taken the liberty of drawing up the mid semester exams for my class. So be sure to study hard for it." Rossweisse said before taking her leave.
"Haa?" Kenshin and Issei both said. "...Oh damn...in between Rias' training and everything else that's been going on lately, I haven't had any time to study for it." Kenshin cursed.
"I haven't either!" Issei yelped.
"Issei, I think we might be screwed." Kenshin said.
Sirzechs turned to Ravel as the two dragons muttered worryingly to themselves. "Ravel, will you accept that proposal I talked with you about?"
"Yes, of course Sirzechs-Sama!" Ravel said holding her hand up in salute.
"Huh?" Kenshin and Issei both said.
"I was thinking of having Ravel become the assistant or manager for you two." Sirzechs said.
"Uhm...wouldn't that present a conflict of interest if and when Rias and I have to face off again?" Kenshin asked.
"Her managerial duties would be suspended in that case." Sirzechs said.
"Ah." Kenshin nodded. "Well, I look forward to working with you, Ravel." Kenshin said with a smile.
"A-Ah, o-of course Kenshin-Sama." Ravel said with a shy look.
"Heheh...hey Koneko-Chan, if you don't keep on your toes, the Senpai you love so much will get snatched away by the Phoenix." Azazel teased.
"..." Koneko looked like she didn't even register what he said.
"..." Kenshin noticed this. "Hm...this is bugging the hell out of me, why does this situation feel so damned familiar?"
(break)
Issei was slumped against his desk with a frustrated look as he studied during lunchtime. "Fuck! It's like whenever I have something devil related to do, there's something school related to do too! Even when it was Kenshin and I stuck to each other! The Sports festival and Diodora, Loki and pre Kyoto, the Hero Faction at Kyoto, and Sairaorg-San during the School Festival!" He thought. "The only time I got a break from it was when we went to Mundus Magicus, but I wouldn't call that a vacation, with Kenshin being a threat to go freakin' nuclear at the time."
"Oh? Issei's studying? Don't even bother, even if you fed your brain you'd still be an idiot." He looked up seeing Matsuda and Motohama.
"Ah piss off. Matsuda, Motohama aside, your marks are worse than mine are." Issei said.
"Funny, you'd both be succeeding if you didn't perv every hour of the day." Kenshin said walking up to them. "Motohama, a guy who so shamelessly ogles that he's gained the ability to determine the three sizes of a woman at a glance, and Matsuda, who has admitted before that he's a lolicon."
"Anyway Issei." Motohama said holding out a porno DVD. "If you wanna pal around with us like before ya gotta come watch this with us! Hell we don't even care if you bring the dick bag over there with you."
"Alright I'm in!/Pass." Issei and Kenshin both said, the latter in a bored tone.
"Ah there's no need to be shy Kenshin-Chan, You could see women hotter than the ones you've had so far." Motohama said waving his hand.
"Pfft..." Kenshin held his hand over his mouth. "Keh..heheheheheheheheh...You think...ahahahahahaha! You...think...hahahahahahaha!" Kenshin hit the floor and started rolling. "Oh man...I can't...hahahahahaha! ! Oh fuck, help me! I can't breathe!" He said as he laughed hysterically.
"What's wrong with him? These are professional ero models." Motohama said.
"You two are idiots." Issei said with an amused look. "Did these two forget that he spends a lot of time with a lot of very attractive girls here?" He thought.
The door opened and Akeno walked in. She saw Kenshin rolling on the floor laughing and walked up to him. She tapped him on the shoulder. "Kenshin-kun. I forgot to give you your bento this morning, you really wore me out last night." She giggled.
"Oh, I'm sorry about that, I'll try to be more gentle next time." Kenshin said, getting up and accepting the bento.
"Oh, no need...I love it when you go all out." Akeno said with a seductive lick of the lips.
"Oh...well then, next time I'll do just that." Kenshin said with a leering smile.
"Ufufufu...please do." Akeno said blowing him a kiss before leaving.
Kenshin watched her leave before turning his attention back to the Perverted Trio. He smirked. "I'll leave that to your imaginations."
"EEEEEHHHHH? ! !" Matsuda and Motohama exclaimed.
"Well, it was only a matter of time I suppose." Issei thought.
"That was amazing!" Salamander laughed. "Be sure to thank Akeno for that later!"
"She must have been just outside when Motohama said that." Kenshin thought.
(break)
"So you were making a Heavenly Dragon cry that much?" Saji asked as he, Issei and Kenshin sat in the student council room. "Man...that's rough. If the Heavenly Dragon isn't stable, it will get hard to control Vritra whe he goes berserk."
"Well according to Issei, Ddraig's taking his meds so it should be alright...man that is weird to say." Kenshin said.
"Yeah, Ddraig should be fine, I'm just sorry that it's happening because of me." Issei said with a sigh. "By the way Kenshin, why are you here? I can talk to Saji on my own."
"Sona asked me to come. What's taking her so long to call me in? I don't know." Kenshin said.
"Kaichou did?" Saji said. "Oh! That's right, I saw you and Kaichou together a few days ago. Were you out on a date?"
"Miyuki beat her in a chess game and put her up to it." Kenshin said. "I was just trying to make sure she had a good time."
"Miyuki-San did? Seriously? Kaichou's really, really good though." Saji said.
"Yeah, Miyuki's quite the strategist." Kenshin said.
"Also, congrats on the recommendation." Saji said.
"Thanks...part of me still can't believe it's happening." Issei said.
"And just think, if the two of us weren't stuck together at the beginning, I'd be in the foxhole with you." Kenshin said.
"Yeah, but you wouldn't have your peerage, so it all balances out in the end." Issei shrugged.
"Yeah, honestly I want to do the same, but I need to get stronger, so I'm not constantly at risk of being Vritra's bitch when the going gets tough." Saji said.
"I could smack him around a bit if you want." Kenshin offered.
"...He says he'd like to see you try." Saji said.
"Oh ho?" Kenshin said. "Relax Vritra I was just messing around, wailing on you would mean wailing on Saji."
"That's better?" Saji said. "That's what he said."
"Hahahaha." Issei laughed.
"But seriously I am just screwing around." Kenshin said. "We're supposed to be allies here, take a joke."
"He says OK." Saji said. "Anyway, Kaichou might be talking with the Grigori right now, which is why she's taking so long to call you in. The next people to get one of the Artificial Sacred Gears they make are supposed to be us. They have power types, support and wizard types, element types."
"Element types?" Kenshin asked.
"Supposed to grant some measure of control over an element." Saji said. "Not all four main ones like you have."
"Yeah Kenshin, so don't worry, ain't anyone trying to knock you from your perch." Issei laughed.
"You're wrong, but whatever." Kenshin said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Saji asked.
"I stepped on Lord Bael's toes." Kenshin shrugged. "Like I care. He wants me, he knows how to find me."
"Picking fights with devil clan heads now are we?" The three turned to see Sona exiting her room.
"If Sirzechs doesn't feel like kicking his teeth in, I will." Kenshin said.
"Yes, well anyway Kenshin I'll see you now." Sona said. Kenshin nodded and they walked back into her room as the other door opened and the other members of the student council came in.
"So why did you want to see me?" Kenshin asked.
"So talk around the grapevine is that Seekvaira Agares and Issei are an item." Sona said.
"Yeah." Kenshin nodded. "Would have been one sooner, but there were extenuating circumstances."
"I see." Sona said. "Speaking of confessions, when we were at your former homeworld, did you confess to Rias?"
"..." Kenshin's face heated up. "Y-Yeah."
"Why take so long to say it?" Sona asked. "You waited...what was it? A couple of months before you did say it?"
"An irrational fear of mine." Kenshin said. "I had only said that to two other people before...and both of them had to break their connection with me for different reasons. I...didn't want to take that same chance with Rias right away."
"I understand. Especially considering one of them you said that to..." Sona trailed off.
"Yeah." Kenshin nodded. "It's OK, I'm not over it fully per se, but I'll live with being reminded of it."
"Still, I'm sorry." Sona said. "When we all saw the memory, it was the only time...I've ever really seen you so..."
"Vulnerable? Broken?" Kenshin asked. "I guess I see what you're getting at, but you know just bringing it up isn't gonna bother me."
"I see. Well, if you say so. Probably shouldn't make a habit out of it though." Sona said.
"Yes." Kenshin nodded. "After all, I might just call Serafall to come tease you just for fun." He remarked with a grin.
"..." Sona narrowed her eyes with a demure smile. "You know it wouldn't take much to turn her back on you."
Kenshin sweatdropped. "True. Then again I can manage her better than you can."
"Anyway...The reason I asked you here was...well to thank you." Sona said.
"Hm?" Kenshin said. "For?"
"Rias, I've been friends with her since we were small, but even then I was unable to help her. Yet you...an unknown man who was thrown into high devilhood out of necessity was able to.. She talks of you quite often. The issues with her unwanted marriage to Raiser, with Kiba-kun, Koneko-San, Akeno-San, Gasper-kun...you lessened the burden she carried, helping her to shoulder it. I've known her longer than you, yet because I am a high class devil, and it is devil's custom. I couldn't overcome that and help her."
"That's a stupid custom." Kenshin said. "I was able to help her because I didn't care about things like that. I saw someone who needed help and I extended my hand. How are we to advance as a race if we do not help each other?"
"You're exactly right." Sona nodded. "How are we to advance if we leave our own to fend for themselves? That in itself is the reason some of the pillars fell." "But back to what we were talking about...Rias is short tempered and stubborn, but she is more delicate than anyone I know. She needs someone who can support her by her side." Sona said.
"That's why I'm here." Kenshin said with a grin.
"...You know, I am happy for her, but...seeing you two together...can really make a woman jealous." Sona said looking out the window.
"...You know...it doesn't have to be that way." Sona felt his arms wrapping around her, making her body heat up.
"K-Kenshin...?" Sona said looking over at him shyly.
Kenshin smiled back at her as he tightened his embrace slightly. "I could make you feel the same way as she does, if you'd let me..."
"..." Sona's face flushed brightly as Kenshin's face leaned in.
"All I'd need...is your permission...Sona..." Kenshin said, his eyes closing.
"...You.." Sona said, her own eyes sliding shut. "..have my per..." Kenshin's voice cut in.
"..na...ona...Sona!" She heard Kenshin shouting after seeing Sona go into a daze.
"Eh? !" Sona said, snapping out of her visions. "Oh my lord, I'm doing it again! !" She thought in a panic, unable to fight her blush down.
"Are you OK?" Kenshin asked moving closer to her, setting his forehead on hers.
"..." Sona's face flushed even more. "...I-I'm OK."
"OK." Kenshin said with a smile as he stepped back.
"Haa..." Sona sighed. "OK...unless you have any other things you'd like to talk about, you may go. Also tell Issei-San I said congratulations on the promotion."
"OK." Kenshin said before surprising the Sitri heiress with a kiss on the forehead. "You're a good friend." He said as he walked away waving her off.
Sona watched him leave. "Why is it, that I'm suddenly having visions of you and I...getting more intimate...I mean it's just kissing so far, but..." She let her thoughts trail off as she moved behind her desk and sat down.
A circle appeared on the floor and Serafall appeared. "Heya, So-tan!" She greeted in her usual bubbly manner.
"..." Sona was deep in thought.
"So-tan?" Serafall said. Sona still didn't respond. "So-tan!"
"Wha? !" Sona said, startled by the outburst. "Oh, Onee-Sama...I'm actually glad you're here."
"So cold!" Serafall said with a whine.
"I need to show you something." Sona said taking out a stack of papers.
"Hmmm?" Serafall said walking up to her desk. "The alliance treaty between our family and the Tsuki clan? Kenshin-Chan's clan?"
"Yes, it kind of involves you too in a way." Sona said.
"Well let's have a look at it then, I've never seen the treaty." Serafall said pulling up a chair.
(break)
Later
Kenshin and Rias sat in the living room after having dinner. "So, you and Sona spoke about that huh?" Rias asked.
"Yeah." Kenshin said. "She's a really good friend, but I think she feels too tied down by the customs of our race."
"Something you don't have a problem with." Rias said with a laugh.
"Not at all, not in the slightest!" Kenshin chuckled.
"Hey, you've heard the story about how she broke off her engagement right?" Rias asked.
"Yeah, she told me already, she beat her then fiancee in chess." Kenshin nodded.
"Yes, but she not only beat him, she destroyed him. His pride was shattered." Rias said.
"She emasculated him basically." Kenshin said.
"Yes." Rias said.
"Well sounds to me that he wasn't ever going to be suited to marry her to begin with, I mean at least with Raiser he could at least be taught how to respect women." Kenshin said. "But getting your confidence shattered when someone better than you whips you in a chess match, come on now."
"Well, you've never really had confidence issues." Rias said. "But I get what you're saying. He wasn't that bright of a man to begin with."
"I see, by the way, Rias can I ask you something?" Kenshin said.
"Of course, what is it?" Rias said.
"As you know, your family had a alliance with the Kuroshi, and the Sitri family has one with the Tsuki, but as you know both clans have joined together as one." Kenshin said. "So, if the alliance treaty Sona's family has with my family was pretty much the same as the one yours does...how would you react?"
"..." Rias thought about it for a moment. "I'm not quite sure really, but...as long as you and I remained together, I would be able to handle it."
"I wonder about that." Kenshin said. "I think it would lead to some kind of dispute like you used to have with Akeno and Yukari."
"Mm, probably, but we'd still be friends, just like Akeno and I are still such and same with Yukari." Rias said waving him off as she approached him. She leaned down and kissed him full on the lips to which he gladly returned.
When it broke Kenshin chuckled fondly. "Have I ever told you how much I love kissing you?"
"This would be the first." Rias giggled.
Issei came in as Rias took a seat next to him. "Hey, what are you two up to?" He asked.
"Oh, just talking about my meeting with Sona." Kenshin said. "How was the porn-athon?"
"Kack! I didn't go! As a matter o' fact I spent time with Asia, Irina and Kiryuu!" Issei snapped.
"Kiryuu?" Rias asked.
"The female version of Issei." Kenshin answered. "Minus the Boosted Gear of course. I noticed she was getting closer to you ever since we left Kyoto."
"Aah...y-yeah." Issei laughed nervously, knowing exactly why that was.
Ravel soon came in as well, holding a stack of books. "Issei-Sama it's time to study." She said setting the books on the table. "Also, you need to do so as well." Ravel said turning to Kenshin holding his school books.
"Ah, r-right." Issei said.
"Seriously? Erg Alright." Kenshin said with a deflated look.
"Oh? Is it time to study, here let me join you." Everyone looked over to see Akeno coming in followed by Xenovia, Irina, Asia, Kiba, Evangeline and Tamamo.
"Huh, Evangeline, Tamamo...I never thought I'd see you actually need to study." Kenshin said.
"Been needing to brush up on devil culture as it was." Evangeline said thumbing through a book.
"Well maybe you're finally just getting old." Tamamo joked.
"Huh, didn't see that comin' either." Kenshin said.
Rias looked around. "So, I guess Koneko's still not feeling well?"
"Yeah, I went and checked on her earlier. She said she didn't feel too good." Ravel said. "Of course that was a few hours ago."
"Want me to go check on her? No offense, but I'd probably get a better response." Kenshin asked.
"None taken, but I'm sure she'll be fine." Ravel said. "You need to study first."
(break)
Kenshin was laying in his room after the cram session had ended, he had a smoke between his lips, occasionally taking a puff off of it. "Haa...man that was uneventful. Well...aside from the couple of times Rias and Akeno cupped my groin and started rubbing it." Kenshin closed his eyes with a smile. "Still...it was nice of Rias to stay up and help Issei and I out."
Kenshin dug around in his seals looking for a certain green book. "Ah." He found it. "Now to do some reading that I want to be doing."
Kenshin didn't even get the book open when he heard his door open. "?" He sat up and looked over to see Koneko standing there wearing the white robe she usual wore for senjutsu healing sessions and had her ears and tail out. "Koneko? Is everything alright? Why are you using senjutsu right now?"
"Haaa..." Koneko let out a shuddering sigh. "S-Senpai...I..I can't control it..." She strips off the cloth and walks onto his bed before pressing herself against her.
"? !" Kenshin's eyes widened as he felt her bare body against him. She felt hot, her body covered in a thin layer of sweat and she was breathing went to say something only for Koneko's lips to overlap his, while she took his hand and pressed it against her small breast.
"...Nyyaaaa..." She moaned sweetly as her head moved down and started licking his neck.
"What the hell's going on? !" Kenshin thought.
"You seriously don't know?" Salamander asked.
"I want...Senpai's...ba..ba...ba..." She stuttered, glancing down at his chest with a blush.
"Uhm..." Kenshin said.
"...Baby." Koneko said clearly this time.
"I knew it, Koneko-Chan we've talked about this..." Kenshin was cut off as Koneko kissed him again.
"I don't care." Koneko said. "Please..."
"Koneko, I...can-" Kenshin was cut off as Rias burst through the door with Issei in tow and came up to them. She put her hands on Koneko's head and stomach before nodding.
"Get her dressed and carry her on your back and take her up to her room, I'm going to call someone." Rias said.
"Who?" Kenshin and Issei both said.
"Abe-San." Rias said.
"Who?" Kenshin said while Issei nodded. "Wait, what? Seriously who?"
(break)
A busty burnette drill haired girl stepped away from Koneko who was laying asleep in bed. "It's Nekomata mating season." She said.
"...so basically she's in heat?" Kenshin asked.
"Basically yes." The woman nodded. "Oh, where are my manners. I'm Kiyome Abe, third year and heiress to the family of beast tamers, and one of Issei-kun's girlfriends.
"...Haa?" Kenshin said turning to Issei who looked sheepish. "What's the big deal? So you had a girlfriend I didn't know about, big whoop."
"Hehehe." Abe giggled. "Anyway, I've administered treatment that should make her instincts easier to bear for a time. I am surprised though."
"Why?" Kenshin asked.
"Why aren't you succumbing to the effects?" Abe asked.
"My heat cycles are monthly and I'm part dragon, not all the way a neko youkai." Kenshin said.
"Ah, I see." Abe nodded.
"Hm, this is tricky." Everyone turned to Tamamo as she walked in. "Usually with heat cycles you can just make them cum until they pass out and that would settle it, but if it's mating season for her kind...I believe only full on sex would be acceptable."
"I am not knocking up Koneko." Kenshin stated bluntly.
"Of course you're not." Tamamo said with a furrowed brow. "If she's lucky only she would die in the labor process...aside from that you owe some other women a child first." She said glancing at Rias who blushed.
"Speaking of which can you tell if.."
"She's not." Tamamo shook her head.
"Whew...not ready to be a Dad just yet." Kenshin sighed.
"Same here on being a Mom." Rias sighed.
"Ufufufu." Tamamo giggled behind her fan. "Gonna have to have one sooner or later...it has to be one of the parameters in your marriage contract."
"It is." Kenshin and Rias said. "But it's on our terms." Rias said.
"But I wonder how you'd react if you weren't the first one to bear his child." Tamamo said. "Like say one of the other women he's laid with does it."
All in differing places, Akeno, Serafall, Xenovia and Yukari all sneezed. Kenshin tugged nervously on his collar while Issei sweatdropped.
"It wouldn't matter to me. I would actually welcome the experience to help raise the child in preparation for when I have my own." Rias said.
"I see." Tamamo said.
"Speaking of what to do to have a baby, Issei-kun when do you think we'll get around to doing that?" Abe asked wrapping her arms around his arm, wedging his bicep in between her chest.
"Aah! Uhm...well let's at least go on a date sometime before we do anything." Issei said with a nervous blush.
"OK!" Abe chirped happily. "Anyway, while it would be a good idea to copulate with Koneko-San here, it would be bad if she got pregnant at this stage."
"Duh..." Kenshin said. "I'll try to keep a lid on it., but if I go into heat while this 'Mating Season' thing is still going on, you'll need to lock me down or knock it out for me immediately."
"Why?" Rias asked. "I mean I'm not opposed to it, but..."
"When a youkai in heat catches sight or scent of another youkai in heat, they lock on each other." Tamamo said. "If the two were to bump into each other, Kenshin wouldn't be able to ward off her advances, he'd openly welcome them and what's worse is that no one could distract him either."
"Couldn't he just wear a condom in that case?" Issei asked.
"Wouldn't work, the heat, not to mention the fluids inside her reproductive organs would dissolve it. Trust me we've had people who've tried it in our village." Tamamo said.
"Hm, I see." Issei said. "Good to know in case her sister comes around and the same happens to her."
"So yeah, I'll try to keep things under control from my end." Kenshin said.
"I can't help feeling this is partly my fault." Rias said.
"Why would it be?" Kenshin and Issei asked.
"Koneko-San is technically a little too...immature to be affected by Mating Season." Abe said.
"Really? I started going into heat the year I became a teenager." Kenshin said.
"It's different for every youkai." Tamamo said. The door opened as Akeno, Irina and Yukari walked in.
"It might have been caused because she sees the relationship that Kenshin-San and Rias-San have together and she yearned for something like herself so that desire gave way to this." Abe said
"...Well, I guess I can understand how she feels." Yukari said.
"Yeah." Irina said with an awkward laugh.
"Same here, as one of the girls who lives here with Kenshin-kun and Issei-kun." Akeno said with a smile. "There are those who desire something like that for themselves with either of them."
"Alright so I guess if Koneko needs help with anything I'll be busy." He looked at his watch. "Oh shit I'm really going to be busy, I better get to sleep." Kenshin said.
Before he could leave the room Azazel came in followed by Hikari and Miyuki while Abe left. "What's up?" Kenshin asked.
"I just came up here to let you all know we're expecting visitors tomorrow." Azazel said. "You may not like them, hell you might even want to fight and kill them, but do not even try."
"Huh?" Issei said. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Don't worry about it." Azazel said.
"I already know who's coming." Kenshin said lighting up another smoke and walking past him. "Just make sure she knows my rules."
(break)
Next Morning.
Issei walked toward the front door after the bell rang. For some reason he felt anxious. When he opened it, he found... "O-O-O-O-Ophis? !"
The shout echoed throughout the house alerting everyone as they gathered around the door ready for battle, the only ones not present were Kenshin and Azazel, but the former appeared and stepped past them. "Everyone calm down, even with all your power combined, she's way too much for you to handle." Kenshin said.
"Yeah, I told you all last night not to try and fight our guest." Azazel said walking down the stairs.
"But she's the Leader of the Khaos Brigade! The organization that's been attacking us this whole time!" Rias said.
"Besides Kenshin we've fought and beat her once before and we're stronger than we were then!" Yukari said.
"And she's five times stronger than she was when we fought her, roughly anyway." Kenshin said. "Besides, why would she come here, practically alone? We wouldn't be able to beat her, but she'd be weakened so much that she'd be easy to pick off."
"..." Kenshin's peerage relaxed their stances. "Are you sure we couldn't beat her Kenshin?" Tamamo asked.
"Could you beat Ragnarok at his best?" Kenshin asked.
"...Not really no." Tamamo answered with a furrowed brow.
"Then no." Kenshin said.
"You decided this was worth risking from the start didn't you Azazel?" Rias asked.
"What we're trying to do here might change the existence of the Khaos Brigade." Azazel said. "For that reason I have no qualms about letting her in here to talk, even if it means deceiving my current allies for a time. Hell, Kenshin isn't even supposed to know, but he somehow already does."
"Because I filled him in already." Ophis said crossing her arms. "I've still got a piece of myself inside of him due to my blessing. What did you think he was doing when he suddenly had to leave when you were speaking to Vali."
"Huh, I see." Azazel said. "Anyway, just trust me on this, I've earned that much haven't I? And if that's not enough you can trust Kenshin as well."
"I feel like you should have at least clued Serafall in on this, being the diplomat of the Satans and all." Kenshin said.
"Well you've said before you'd like to take her spot one day, this'd be great practice." Azazel said.
"Oh yeah, let me get right on that with all that support I don't have." Kenshin quipped sarcastically. "Or at least not enough of it anyway."
"Alright, I'll trust Sensei, I'm here right now like this because of Sensei." Issei said.
"Fine, as badly as I want to slash my sword, I'll hold it back." Xenovia said lowering Durandal.
"Even I know when I'm licked." Evangeline said.
"Hm...hey Chachamaru, just for kicks, scan Ophis." Azazel said.
"Very well." Chachamaru said. A few seconds went by. "Readings incomprehensible."
"I'm not the Infinity Dragon Goddess for nothing." Ophis said. "Now may I come in?"
"Very well." Kenshin said stepping aside.
"Bringing her in without notifying Michael-Sama, I don't know what I should do." Irina said.
"Well, I'll have to believe in Onii-Sama, Onee-Sama and Issei-San like always." Asia said with a nervous smile.
"Ditto." Ravel said.
"Alright, it's settled." Kenshin said. "Now Ophis, tell your escort it's OK for her to come in."
"Yes yes..." Ophis said
The opening to the house lit up and a magic circle appeared and Le Fay came in with a familiar wolf. "Is that Fenrir?" Miyuki asked.
"Uh huh, Vali-Sama forced him to submit and I took possession of him." Le Fay nodded.
Miyuki reached over and rubbed behind Fenrir's ears. The wolf rubbed his head against her palm. "Wow, he's completely tame." She said.
Meanwhile a second magic circle flared to life and Issei was suddenly hugged against by the female devil that came out, a pair of large breasts pressing against him.
"Uuuwaaahh!" Issei thought. "Wait...I remember this person."
"Kuroka? !" Rias said.
"Hello Sekiryuutei-Chan, I see you still love large breasts as usual-nya." Kuroka said with a cat like smile.
Kenshin cleared his throat. "Is this all? Vali, Arthur and Bikou aren't coming?"
"They'll be by later." Le Fay said.
"OK, Kuroka, after we're done talking with Ophis, I need to speak with you." Kenshin said.
"OK-nya." Kuroka answered nonchalantly.
"Alright to the VIP room." Azazel said.
(Break)
Later.
Everyone was drinking tea and eating snacks in the VIP Room, Akeno cautiously served tea the Vali team members. Kenshin thought about bringing Ragnarok out to get his input, but decided against it. Issei was sweating next to him. Kenshin looked over at him and leaned over. "Quick question, is your name secretly Great Red?" Kenshin whispered.
"Wha? N-No." Issei said.
"Then relax. Ophis isn't gonna attack you unless you attack her, or unless you're Great Red." Kenshin said.
Kenshin cleared his throat. "So, I already have a general idea of what you want with me, but you seem to be interested in Issei as well. Care to explain?" Kenshin asked, sipping on his tea.
"Ddraig, do you want to quit being a Heavenly Dragon?" Ophis asked bluntly.
"Huh? I-I don't know what you're asking." Issei said.
"The human who is the host, He's have a different sense of growth until now, it's the same with Vali, very strange." Ophis said.
"Mine and Vali's growth?" Issei thought.
"The fight against Cao Cao, and against Bael...Ddraig went through different evolutions and even had the armor of his Balance Breaker turned crimson, it is a first."
The Boosted Gear appears on Issei's hand. "I don't know Ophis, I don't know what he's gonna become, but he is having an interesting growth." Ddraig said.
"Yes...also Kenshin could you bring your ancestor out? I'd like to have a word with him too." Ophis said.
"Dammit, I knew I should just brought him out to start." Kenshin said taking out the scroll and letting Ragnarok out.
"Wha?" Ragnarok said holding a razor, standing in the room with a towel wrapped around his waist. Shaving cream on his face.
"..." Kenshin's left eye twitched. Tamamo groaned in exasperation. Ophis had no outward reaction while everyone else just stared in disbelief.
"Ugh..." Ragnarok snapped his fingers and he was dressed.
"Dude...what the hell goes on in that scroll?" Kenshin asked.
"Well...there was this one time where Negi was training with the Magia Erebea and used a scroll with Evangeline in it to help it along." Miyuki said. "She called the scroll Eva-Chan out to find her playing retro video games, eating junk food, sitting on a bean bag chair in the buff." She finished with a sweatdrop. "It's kind of the same case."
Evangeline pointed at Issei. "Before you say anything, I was in my younger form."
"A-Aaww..." Issei said with a crestfallen tone.
"What do you want?" Ragnarok asked.
"First.." Ophis placed her hands on Kenshin and Ragnarok and closed her eyes. After a few moments had passed. She pulled away.
"What was that all about?" Kenshin asked.
"I gave the scroll Ragnarok a good chuck of the information his true self had omitted from his mind." Ophis said.
"?" Ragnarok glanced over and saw Tamamo. "Tamamo, the years have been kind."
"I'm still sealed smart ass." Tamamo grumbled.
"Uh huh...where's my brother?" Ragnarok asked. "You know, the one that had that romance with the Time Goddess."
"Pfft!" Kenshin spit up his tea. "Her lover was Yama? !
"No, my surrogate sibling, the founder of the Tsuki clan." Ragnarok said.
"Draco is still alive, he's running a bar somewhere in Makai." Tamamo said.
"Aaah, good for him." Ragnarok said.
Kenshin cleared his throat. "Ragnarok, Ophis wanted to have a word with you."
"Oh?" Ragnarok said. "What do you want then old...erm...young girl.." Ragnarok said turning to Ophis.
If Ophis was humored by the look on his face as he said that, it didn't show. "I merely wished to talk to you about how your successor has been growing."
"Hm..." Ragnarok stroked his chin in thought. "Well, about how I expected, y'know without the numerous life risking tendencies he has." Kenshin furrowed his brow at this. "What? You have allies, rely on them some more instead of trying to do everything yourself."
"This coming from the guy who tried to raid the Divine Realms alone." Tamamo said.
"I am not having this conversation with you right now." Ragnarok grunted.
"Whatever you say." Tamamo said.
"But he's now the closest anyone's ever gotten to matching my power and mastery of the elements." Ragnarok said. "I'm very satisfied to see this, but still...at my best I'm still out of your league."
"You, war, him...not so much." Hikari said.
"True." Ragnarok said.
"You know, your line of dragons hasn't really changed all that much in the long time it's been around." Ophis said. "Heinrich was a noble hero who used your daughers' powers to kill a tyrannical member of the Fateburn line."
"Huh, so even Lady Alipheese's descendants had some bad in them." Ragnarok said.
"Then Shin Tatsu, Kenshin's old master saved Makai from another tyrant some time later..." Ophis said. "Kenshin's father Ryuushin was a curious case, at first he wanted two things, to protect his friend, who he didn't know was his sister, Hikari, and to kill the ones responsible for their lot in life, but as he lived, his heart was swayed by his friends, and his masters. Even as he planned to kill those same masters...his mind was in disarray. His heart was never fully in it. After he learned the truth. He dedicated his life to helping those less fortunate using your daughters' power until his body couldn't take it anymore."
"Is that right?" Ragnarok asked. "Seems his father earned my daughters' deepest respects."
"Yeah, but they tell me that's as far as it went. I guess he didn't want to come off as unfaithful to Mom, even if it meant more power." Kenshin said.
"Yes well, back to you Ddraig. You two dragons are mixed together, and the chant, with I as the Infinite and Great Red as the Dream. Ddraig, why did you think of becoming the king of Domination?"
"It was probably due to desiring power. Because of that I was eliminated by Ragnarok, same as Albion. As for the crimson thing, I never thought it would do that." Ddraig said.
"Why do people desire it? Those in the Khaos Brigade desire it, I am not domination and neither is Great Red." Ophis said.
"I don't think you could understand it Ophis." Kenshin said. "You were born from nothingness and according to Azazel, Ddraig and Ragnarok, you were born strong from the jump. The weak, who wish to be strong, want domination to eradicate that feeling, that feeling of weakness, of helplessness."
"Yes, why did you feel the need to return back to the Dimensional Gap after so long?" Ragnarok asked. "If memory served you actually liked it in this world when I first met you."
"The novelty wore off." Ophis said. "So let me ask you something else Ddraig. Will you discard domination, what's ahead after that hm? And what about you Kenshin? You've made contact with the Spirit of Destruction, whose body Ragnarok killed."
"Haven't thought of that yet." Kenshin said before noticing Ragnarok's eyes on him. "What? Now that you've gotten more of your memories back did it shove out what we've talked about recently?"
"Spirit of Destruction?" Rias asked.
"It's different from your family's brand of destruction." Ragnarok said. "It was just something we named him because he had the ability to generate a spectral armor and loved to destroy things."
"D'Aww Raggy you're making me blush." Yuurei said.
"..." Kenshin furrowed his brow.
"He said something annoying didn't he? Yes he will grate on your nerves, just try not to let him take you over." Ragnarok advised.
"Thanks, but I don't have any plans to whip out the Juggernaut Drive so I'm good." Kenshin said. Ragnarok nodded.
"This is interesting, a conversation between the Sekiryuutei, the Infinity Dragon Goddess and two Dragons of the Elements." Azazel said with a sparkle in his eyes. Hikari sighed in exasperation.
"So Ddraig, will you become the Chichiryuutei then? Can you surpass a Heavenly Dragon by groping tits, will you become a dragon that represents tits?" Ophis asked.
"Pfft!" Kenshin and Ragnarok both sputtered humorously before laughing while Ddraig sounded like he was about to lose his mind. Issei quickly took out a vial and sprinkled it on the jewel of the Boosted Gear.
"Jeez suck it up would ya? It's not like your power would be hard to attain." Yuurei said. "Hell partner's would be harder because he actually has to get undressed, get erect and plow some lucky lady till she screams."
"You make it sound like he's an incubus." Ragnarok thought.
"Current Partner gets a miniscule, but permanent power boost every time he brings a woman to orgasm. That power would eventually add up y'know?" Yuurei said. "He is the Lust Dragon after all."
"Seriously...?" Kenshin drawled. "Erg."
"Anyway, I wish to keep my eye on these two." Ophis said.
"Haven't you been watching this whole time?" Kenshin asked.
"Not really no. I'd check in from time to time, but nothing really more than that." Ophis said.
"...Fine, I'll allow it." Rias said with a sigh.
"Seriously?" Issei said.
"Obviously Rias sees the point here, but Ophis hasn't shown her whole hand." Kenshin thought. "If Ophis were to join us, it would send dischord throughout the entire Khaos Brigade."
"Issei's going to be busy taking Mid Class Devil Exams and as well as something for the Academy." Kenshin said. "Until then he can't really be observed, but I do think he would be open to some 'stress relief.' He said glancing at Irina, Asia, Sextum, Le Fay, Chachamaru, Kazumi and Kuroka in that order. "So until that is settled I will be watching over you."
"Very well." Ophis said.
"I will just relax-nyan." Kuroka said
Le Fay walked toward Issei and held out an autograph book. "U-Umm, if it's not too much trouble, could I have your autograph? I watched your fight against the Bael heir the other day, I was deeply moved by you."
"Oh, of course." Issei said taking it and signing his name.
"Oh! Lust Dragon-San!" Le Fay said turning toward Kenshin. "I'm not as big of a fan of you as I am of the Chichiryuutei, but could I have your autograph too?"
"Hahaha, yeah yeah." Kenshin chuckled and signed his name, leaving a small drawing of a chibi Kenshin holding up a peace sign while leaving a chibi Issei in Balance Breaker groping at the word 'Oppai'.
"Vali-Sama was very interested in your match against Bael, Lust Dragon-San." Le Fay said.
"Is that right? Was it because he sees how far behind he is?" Kenshin asked sipping his tea.
"Hm, I dunno." Le Fay said. "By the way..." She turned to Miyuki. "Are you Miyuki Tsuki?"
"I am, why?" Miyuki asked while taking a sip of her tea.
"Vali-Sama talks about you while he's sleeping." Le Fay said.
"PFFT? !" Miyuki did a spit take. "Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What? !"
"Unholy crap! Vali might have a crush on your sister, Kenshin!" Issei said.
"Oh my, Miyuki he might be interested in you too." Yukari said with a smile.
"Onee-Chan!" Miyuki whined.
"Good luck Miyuki." Hikari said with a giggle. "Maybe my first grandchild will be from you."
"Mom!" Miyuki said with a scarlet blush.
"You know Le Fay's telling the truth-nyan." Kuroka teased.
"You stay out of this!" Miyuki snapped.
"Alright Miyuki, like I said before I guess I'll have to keep a close eye on your interactions." Kenshin said.
"Onii-Chan!" Miyuki shouts swinging her quarterstaff at Kenshin who dodged. "Get back here!" She said chasing him out of the room.
"Whoop!" Kenshin said several times as he took off.
"Just letting her attack you?" Undine asked.
"Eh, why not? After hearing that, she needs to blow off some steam." Kenshin thought.
And so that's how the day ended, with Miyuki chasing down Kenshin until she could no longer.
(Chapter end)
Draconis: Ugh...
Kenshin: Everything alright?
Draconis: Wha? Yeah..it's just while I was helping my family renovate, I ended up getting a skin infection that made it hurt to walk.
Asia: Oh! That's horrible, are you OK Draconis-San?
Draconis: Hahaha, I'm fine. Been to the doctors and all that and got something to take care of it. I'm just letting my readers know why I've taken so long getting this out.
Issei: Well that's good, now when's my next lemon?
Kuroka: Eager aren't we-nya?
Draconis: Next chapter, I'm thinking next chapter might end up being another FFP type of chapter.
Rias: FFP?
Draconis: Full Force Perversion, or maybe I could call it Lemon and Limes seeing as I might want to get the Spirits favors done too. Anyway, I have some reviews I'd like to address. Most of you that are reviewing really like Sona and Kenshin together, which is why I'm working more of it into the story. Others ask for more Kenshin and Koneko and Ravel and Kenshin. I will try to ensure everyone get their time so don't worry.
