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.

71. Tamers, Shopping, and the Fallen

Draconis: Whew...finally we're back

Kenshin: Dude, you posted a few days ago.

Draconis: With a chapter that was done WEEKS ago. (A/N (French Voice) One Month Later...)

Kenshin: Oh right.

Raynare: (filing nails) So...um..what am I going to be doing exactly?

Draconis: Right now, I'm figuring out how to have you and Issei run into each other. You know, the thing that 'won't be pretty'

Raynare: (Winces) O-Oh.

Draconis: (turns head and sees Issei approaching from down the hall) Crap, you two need to get lost. Out the window

Kenshin: On it, come on Stripper Angel (The two jumped out the window.)

Raynare: S-Stripper Angel? !

Issei: Hey, uh weren't you just talking to people?

Draconis: Myself? I was mulling ideas around out loud.

Issei: (stares) Um...OK?

Dragon of the Elements.

Chapter 71

Tamers, Shopping and the Fallen

Draconis: Begin!

(start)

It was Saturday as Issei, Rias, her peerage as well as Kenshin's made their way to Kiyome Abe's home. "Huh, you'd think I'd have noticed this during my early morning flights around Kuoh." Kenshin said.

"Y-You fly around Kuoh early in the morning? !" Issei said. "So that newspaper article was about you? !"

"There was an article?" Kenshin asked. "Great, something for me to do after this is settled."

"Agh..." Issei grunted.

"Did you forget to set the illusion over yourself?" Yukari asked.

"I guess." Kenshin shrugged. Yukari shook her head, slightly exasperated.

"Aah, thanks for coming." Everyone looked ahead to see Kiyomi standing at the front door of the mansion they were all walking up to.

"Does anyone live modestly around here?" Granberia mumbled to herself. "Just castles and mansions wherever we go."

"Is that a problem?" Alma whispered.

"I can kind of see what she means. It is kind of annoying." Erubetie answered quietly.

"Meh." Kazumi shrugged.

"I don't care either way." Evangeline shrugged with Yukari, Miyuki, Hikari and Tamamo all nodding while Chachamaru didn't react.

"Follow me." Abe said. "Oh, Kenshin-San did you find what you were checking into?"

"Yes, though I'm not at liberty to say what it was." Kenshin said.

"Well was it a threat at least? That much I'd like to know." Kiyomi asked. "I mean I'd like to know if I should get my beasts ready."

"No, you and everyone else are fine. If need be I can take care of it myself." Kenshin said.

"Eh? Kenshin you never did tell me anything about that." Rias said.

"...You didn't ask?" Kenshin said, Rias sweatdropped and giggled in response.

"I guess I didn't...well if you say you can handle it, I'm inclined to trust you." Rias said.

"Thank you." Kenshin nodded with a smile.

Kiyomi led them to an indoor pool where everyone changed into swimsuits. "Uuuoohohoho...!" Issei gushed seeing Rias, Akeno, Irina, Sextum among others on display.

"Thanks for not setting out some kind of skimpy piece for me." Granberia said wearing a pair of trunks and a jacket without sleeves.

"Well I figured something like a bikini wouldn't suit you." Kiyomi said. Granberia nodded.

"And thank you as well, for not even bothering." Erubetie said.

"Mm, well slimes love water anyway so why interfere with their connection to it." Abe said.

Erubetie smiled. "Indeed. You're very well versed in Youkai natures."

"It's true, she is." Undine noted.

"Well then thank you for finding one that suits my needs." Alma said embracing Kenshin and Issei from behind.

"Hehehe, well Succubi love showing themselves off so I figure that you wouldn't be any different!" Kiyomi said.

"Too true!" Alma giggled.

"Can that even be called a swimsuit. You've only got a couple of pasties on your chest and a string on the bottom." Miyuki drawled.

"Yes, well you should have worn something to showcase your better half too~" Alma giggled as she moved over to Miyuki, her hands copping a blatant feel on her fellow Rook's backside.

"Uwah! Get your hands off there!" Miyuki shouted, her face darkening a few shades of red.

"Ara? Are you sensitive here?" Alma said.

"Sh-Shut up!" Miyuki whined as the Succubus Queen started massaging her butt.

Issei and Kenshin turned to Gasper who was also wearing a cute looking swimsuit. "...You know you didn't have to wear that." Issei drawled.

"Iyaan! If I didn't, my breasts would be seen and something strange would happen!" Gasper squeaked.

"Who would be interested in men's breasts? !" Issei snapped.

"Gay men into big Grizzly Bears or hairy fat guys, Gay men in general, and Rodney Carrington(1 )." Kenshin answered.

"...?" Issei, Gasper, Rias and Yukari all stared at Kenshin oddly.

"Um..I get the first two, but..." Issei said.

"I'm confused." Gasper said.

"Who is the third person?" Rias asked.

"...Never mind..." Kenshin said closing his eyes.

"I wasn't expecting an American Comedy reference, but given the situation it is apt." Yukari thought patting Kenshin on the back. "Remember where we are..." She whispered.

"Yeah no kidding." Kenshin said.

"Wait, why would gay men be into tits in general?" Issei asked.

"Eh, I knew a gay dude who did." Kenshin shrugged.

"Oh." Issei said.

"Everyone come over here." Abe said.

Everyone crowded around the table and Abe started explaining what her father wanted Issei to do in order to break off the engagement. Kenshin muttered about it being a battle reminiscent of a popular game.

"Um..." Kenshin turned his head as Issei started training with Kiyome's beasts. As he did, Irina approached him. "Um...hey...Kenshin.." Irina said.

"Yeah?" Kenshin asked.

"Could I pull you aside for a bit?" Irina asked.

"What's up?" Kenshin said as he followed Irina a short distance away.

"Ummm..." Irina shifted around uncomfortably. "Do...do you think you could teach me how to be impure?"

"...Huh? !" Kenshin exclaimed with a blush.

"N-Not like that!" Irina blushed.

"Then..what?" Kenshin asked.

"I...I want you to show me, how to be impure, for Issei-kun." Irina said, blushing a bit. (2 )

"Hmmm?" Kenshin arched his brow curiously. "Why? Wouldn't you rather learn such a thing from Issei himself?"

"Well..." Irina glanced away. "I...would like to know as much as I can so I can keep his gaze focused on me."

"...Heheheheheh..." Kenshin chuckled. "Irina...you kinda remind me of Negi...she wanted to do whatever she could for me...just like you're trying to do with Issei."

"So, will you help me?" Irina asked.

"Well your problem isn't that you're pure, honestly if Issei and I were to comment on you, that'd be one of your charm points." Kenshin said. "It's more that you're afraid of committing lewd actions for fear of falling. A legitimate gripe seeing as you enjoy being of service to Michael. You're also the only person in our entire group that has to worry about such a thing. You can't even really kiss him deeply without purifying your thoughts first and I'd imagine you don't like the idea of that doorknob in your left pocket being figuratively super glued to your hand."

"No, I don't." Irina glanced down at it.

"Still, why ask me?" Kenshin asked.

"Well you're pretty good at managing yourself. I mean I think lesser men would have caved from all the flirting and teasing you endure." Irina giggled.

"Heheheh." Kenshin chuckled. "Well then, if I speak on your problem objectively...Try not to worry about falling so much. As long as your intentions are pure, you shouldn't have to worry about being all lovey-dovey with Issei."

"I suppose..." Irina said.

"But can I also add something?" Kenshin asked.

"What?" Irina said.

"Would falling really be so bad? I mean with the Alliance in place. It's not like you wouldn't still be able to help Michael." Kenshin said.

"...It's more my family and Michael-Sama together." Irina said.

"Aaah." Kenshin nodded. "Well, I wish you luck."

"Thanks." Irina said as Kenshin started walking away. "Um, Kenshin."

"Hm?" Kenshin said.

"I...never got a chance to say this, but...thank you, for saving Issei-kun's life." Irina said.

"Weren't you the one who compared it to a tragedy?" Kenshin said with an amused laugh.

"W-Well! I didn't think I'd see him in person again!" Irina huffed.

"Heheh, I know, I'm just messing with you." Kenshin snickered.

(break)

Later that day

"Soo...if Issei just needs to beat her father in a tamer duel, why did all of us bother coming?" Granberia asked.

"I'd imagine this was just an excuse for us to get out of the house." Yukari drawled.

"I guess." Granberia said with a sigh.

"What's with the atmosphere?" Koneko said looking up at the sky.

"Seriously. It was sunny not even a few hours ago." Miyuki said.

The sound of a horse galloping was heard and a man riding a horse drawn wagon pulled in. The man stepped out to reveal a fierce looking man wearing a cape and a helmet with a horn on it. "And number one on the 'Trying Too Hard" list." Kenshin drawled.

"So you're the insolent one trying to date my daughter." He said seeing Kiyomi wrap her arms around Issei's one.

"..." Issei stared at the man. "Jeez! His voice is so thick and intimidating." He felt someone jabbing him in the shoulder. He turned to find Kenshin with one of his smokes lit up.

"Calm down. He's not going to hurt you. This is supposed to be a tamer duel, not a fight." Kenshin said.

"You're not intimidated by him?" Kiyomi asked.

"Please, that helmet, the cape. He's adorable if anything." Evangeline snorted.

"Excuse you?" Kiyomi's Father said.

"What? It's not like she's not right." Kenshin drawled, exhaling smoke.

"Kenshin, what are you...?" Rias asked.

"Eh, selfishness plays a part here, but I sent a request for aid from this guy's clan of beast tamers. We received none, which to me is like a figurative middle finger." Kenshin said.

"..." Kiyomi's Father cleared his throat. "I was not in when the request arrived. When I arrived I had heard the Youkai Revolution was over. I sent my apologies to the Demon Queen already."

"Aah, I was not aware of that. Then I extend my own apologies." Kenshin said. "In case you're wondering I was the former Vice Commander. That's why I was making a sort of big deal out of it."

"Wait, is that what you were doing when you were gone for a couple of weeks? !" Kiyomi blanched looking at Issei.

"Uh...hehehe, yeah." Issei said.

"No hard feelings then?" Kenshin asked.

"Yes Yes. Now..." Kiyomi's Father turned back to Issei who shirked back. "If you lose to me you will cease dating my daughter immediately."

"I understand." Issei nodded.

"Very well, the first is the land battle, come on out!" Kiyomi's Father shouted.

A large yeti covered in scars leaped onto the rectangular battlefield that had been formed while they were talking. "Whoa, that male snow gorilla's badass." Issei said.

"That's Christie's older sister Stephanie." Kiyomi said.

"That's a girl? !" Issei said.

"A woman." Chachamaru corrected.

"R-Right." Issei said.

"So, it's a battle of Yuki-Onna's." Koneko said.

"Unfortunate ones, but yes." Tamamo said.

"Unfortunate?" Akeno said as a smaller yeti moved in front of Issei and Kiyomi.

"Sometimes youkai are born with odd little quirks. Like Lamias could be born with the snake part on top, or kitsune could be born more fox like than intended." Tamamo said. "Or a tiger youkai could be born more tiger like than intended. Case in point. Akatama's stepsister Shirotama is the type of Yuki-Onna Issei's thinking about when the youkai type is mentioned to him, yet these are not."

"We prefer the Unfortunate ones because their strengths are usually higher." Kiyomi's Father said.

"Aaah, so that's it." Issei said.

"Now, do the drumming Stephanie!" Kiyomi's Father ordered

"You do it as well Christie." Issei said.

Stephanie started beating on her chest while Christie rushed forward. "O-Oi!" Issei said.

"Huh, looks like you need more badges." Kenshin said.

"That's the Yuki Onna's secret Technique. The Snow Clone." Koneko said.

The clones slammed into Stephanie, knocking her to the ground. "Ngh...you're pretty good. Giving the order to clone underneath the order to drum."

"No, you're totally wrong! She acted on her own!" Issei thought.

"Well then. Stephanie! Use the Frozen Beat to Death Stick!" Kiyomi's Father ordered.

"...What kind of a name is that?" Yukari drawled.

The larger gorilla reached into the backpack it was wearing and took out a giant banana which it then froze and tossed into the air. Christie leaped after it, her clones disappearing. "Match Number one to Kiyomi's Father." Kenshin said.

"Huh?" Issei said glancing at him

Stephanie tackled Christie out of the battle arena. "See? She was wide open." Kenshin said.

"R-Right..." Issei sweatdropped. "I think he was just screwing with me earlier."

Kiba nodded, having been the one picked to officiate the match. "Match one to Kiyomi-San's father." Kiba said.

"Fufufu. Absurd. I cannot permit you to date my daughter at this rate." Kiyomi's Father said with a fearless smirk.

"Alright, next is the sea battle portion." Kiba said as they all walked to the pool.

"Right, Go Estleena!" Issei said as a tuna with legs made it's way toward the pool.

(Splash!)

Only for the pool to be taken over by a large shark with legs. "Is that supposed to be a megalodon?" Kenshin wondered.

"Alright begin!" Kiba said.

"..." Everyone watched as neither fish made a move.

"..." Kiyomi's Father nudged his shark. "...Oh...I guess it would die if it didn't keep swimming."

"It's a saltwater fish in a freshwater pool!" Kenshin and Tamamo both snapped comically. "This was the only god damn result!"

"The...second match goes to Issei-kun..." Kiba sweatdropped.

"...Um...the Tuna's dead too." Alma said.

"Too late, match has already been called." Kenshin said.

(break)

Later.

In the Nearby Mountains.

The sky battle was about to begin, but Kiyomi's avian beast, Takahashi was nowhere to be found. "Where is he?" Issei said looking around.

"Oh dear...I think he might have gotten lost." Kiyomi sighed.

"Lost? !" Issei said.

"He's...always been kind of airheaded." Kiyomi sighed.

"Hm...well if he's not here, I suppose I could allow a substitute." Kiyomi's Father said. "However, sky beasts only."

"Hmm..." Issei turned his head toward Kenshin.

"Forget it. I'm not being party to this absurdity any longer than I need to." Kenshin said.

"You don't want to fight something? !" Issei blanched.

"Ara, if you need an emergency fill in. I suppose I could step in."

Kenshin and Issei turned to Alma who was flapping her Succubus wings. "You don't mind?" Kenshin asked.

"Not at all. I could stand a decent chance to stretch my wings out." Alma said.

"Alright. If you don't care." Issei said.

"Hmn?" Kiyomi's Father said. "You're not going to be able to follow the action very well." He said.

"I'll fly after you." Issei said uncasing his devil wings.

"Alright, the final match, begin!" Kiba said.

Alma shot forward, slamming her fist into the ominous looking bird that Kiyomi's father was riding. It started dropping like a rock. "Ara?" She flew down and grabbed hold of Kiyomi's father and his horse and set them on the ground. "Ara, how disappointing...it was barely a work out."

"Uhm..." Kiba stared at her. "The winner is Issei-kun."

"Well old man, that's that." Kenshin said. "You lose."

"Erg..." Kiyomi's Father grunted. "Fine...it's your win boy, you are permitted to date my daughter, I will cancel the engagement."

"Alright!" Kiyomi cheered, embracing Issei tightly.

"Ohohohohoho! Those soft oppai are pressing against meeee!" Issei thought with a slight nosebleed.

"Hey, Issei-kun, why don't we go out to dinner tonight?" Kiyomi said with a smile.

"U-Um..." Issei said feeling Irina's, Asia's, Sextum's, Chachamaru's, Kazumi's, and Erubetie's eyes on him.

"...Haa..." All of them except Erubetie sighed. "Go ahead." They said with a smile.

"Haa, well...I guess I'll have to get used to fighting for time." Kiyomi sighed with a smile.

(break)

One Gasper Vladi was having a very strange day. The day after Issei helped Kiyomi with her problem, to which he promised her a date afterward. Anyway, he woke up in his apartment that he shared with Yuuto Kiba, who had also come out of his room...but something was definitely different about him. He had long flowing blonde hair, deep blue eyes, and everything about his physical features had become more...feminine in nature.

Yuuto Kiba had become a woman. "A-Ano, Y-Yuuto-Sempai..." Gasper said twiddling his thumbs.

"Hm? Gasper-kun? What is it?" She said with a soft voice. "And, Yuuto? My name is Yumi remember?" She said with a smile.

"...?" Gasper tilted his head curiously. "Does she not remember being a male?" He thought.

"Come on Gasper-kun. We have to get ready for school." Yumi said.

"O-OK." Gasper said.

It only got weirder after they left. They had went to Issei's house, only for the door to be answered by a scantily clad man with purple hair tied into two pony tails. "Alma Elma-San?" Gasper thought.

"Oh? Yumi-Chan, if you and the cutie there are here for everyone you missed them." He said.

"Oh, that's too bad. Thanks anyway Aruma-kun." Yumi said.

"Hehe, anytime, by the way Gran wants another rematch, this time he wants to test your Garm against his Ares." Aruma said.

"I guess Gran is Granberia-San." Gasper thought, imagining a male Granberia...which surprisingly didn't take much effort. She was kind of the youkai warrior equivalent of a tomboy, so he imagined bigger muscles and more defined masculine features as well as a few inches taller. "I wonder if Tamamo-San and Erubetie-San are affected?" Gasper thought.

As if on cue a voice called out. "Aruma, who is it?"

A couple of bishounen one with short blonde hair wearing Tamamo's kimono and had nine fluffy tails swaying behind him, and the second was deep blue slime man.

"Oh Tama-Chan, Eru-Chan. It's just Yumi-Chan and Gasper-Chan." Aruma said.

"Oh. Yeah you just missed them." Tama said.

"You should probably be going." Eru nodded.

"Yes, thank you." Yumi said.

It got even stranger for the crossdressing vampire when he got to school. He noticed a pair of males waiting for them, one with short red hair and another with short purple hair. He almost called the red head Kenshin until he noticed that this one had green eyes. "Yukari-Sempai?"

"Hello Yuri-kun." Yumi said gesturing to the redhead.

"Get up late?" Yuri replied. "Sona asked Miyu and I to wait out here for you."

"I see, my apologies." Yumi said.

"It's cool." Miyu said blowing a bubble gum bubble.

"Are they here?" They turned to find a young man with short white hair and dull brown eyes walking up to them.

"Yes Yes Sextum they're here." Miyu said.

"Good lets head in." Sextum nodded.

The day progressed like any other. However around lunch time Gasper happened to walk up to the second floor and saw a bit of a spectacle.

"Ryuuko-Chan!" He saw one of the perverted Trio members come up behind a girl with long red hair that was styled into two thick loops in the back and grab her chest. He glanced over at Issei who was unchanged and was shaking his head in exasperation.

"Huh...so Issei-Sempai is unchanged as well." Gasper thought.

"Matsuda...what the hell do you think you're doing...?" The girl, named Ryuuko said with a thinly veiled tone of anger.

"E-Eeeh..." Matsuda shirked back as Ryuuko turned to him.

"I told you man, you were just going to piss her off." Issei said.

"Murayama-Chan, Katase-Chan, can I borrow one of your bokkens?" Ryuuko said turning to a girl with long brown hair tied into a ponytail and another with short pink hair.

"Sure, wail on him good Ryuuko-Chan." Katase said with a carefree smile as she tossed Ryuuko her bokken. "Just give it back when you're done."

"I'll pay for a replacement if I break it off in his ass." Ryuuko said opening her eyes revealing the right iris was blue while the left was a gold color.

"Kenshin-Sempai?" Gasper thought.

"I'll give you a ten second head start." Ryuuko said.

"Hiii!" Matsuda took off.

Ten seconds passed and Ryuuko chased him down. "Get your ass over here Matsuda! This practice sword needs a pedestal!"

Issei turned to Katase. "Look I know we don't see eye to eye a lot, but you know you're not getting that back right?"

"Yes, I know. Oh well." Katase shrugged.

"Well lets at least keep up with them." Murayama said.

"Eh, I already know how this ends." Issei shrugged.

"Same here." Motohama said.

"Hey! Did I miss them? !" A male figure with short red hair ran past Gasper and up to the four of them.

"We're going to follow after them Kazuto-kun. Come on." Katase said.

"Sweet, hey Issei I got some pictures for you to look at later too." Kazuto said with a grin.

"Lookin' forward to it." Issei said as Kazuto, Katase and Murayama left.

(break)

After School

Gasper walked into the Occult Research Club room after school and found it was also full of men. "Ah! Gasper you are finally here." The red haired bishounen at the desk said.

"That's obviously Chief Rias." Gasper thought. "That tall figure, the scarlet hair, the deep blue green eyes. She's just as handsome as a man as she is beautiful as a girl." He thought.

"Hm? Oh, would you like some tea as well Gasper?" Another Bishounen with dark hair asked.

"That's Akeno-Sempai. She...he looks really cool." Gasper thought.

"Oi Gasper, you're a man aren't you, act like one unless you want me to cut you in half."

"What about you Xenovia-kun, you usually laze about. Is that supposed to be manly? Besides I'm pretty sure Yuri, Issei and Ryuuko would stop you."

"Yeah Yeah Asia.." Xenovia said.

Xenovia had turned into an athletic male with a six pack while Asia had become more tender and had thinner facial features.

"Hey! Xenovia, Asia! I finally got a hold of the copy of Samurai Vatican! Oda Nobuna who we all." A brown haired male said walking into the room.

"Irina stop! No spoilers!" Xenovia shouts.

"Seriously, we haven't got to read it yet!" Asia pouted.

"S-Sorry." Irina said with an abashed expression.

Gasper turned away from them and looked around. "I wonder what Koneko looks like? Was she affected too? Is she a cute boy now?" Gasper thought.

(crunch, crunch)

"Huh?" Gasper looked around as he heard a crunching noise. He found a large man with white hair, cat ears and a tail. "No...don't tell me!" He thought.

Rias walked up to him and chuckled. "Eating the bones again Daineko-Sama? Aren't you getting too much protein and calcium?" He asked.

"..." Daineko merely grunted in response.

"I'm here~!" Everyone turned to find Issei and Yumi walking in.

"OK. When Ryuuko and her peerage arrives we can begin." Rias said.

"Um, she's still hunting Matsuda." Issei said with a wary chuckle.

"..." Rias let out a sigh. "Why do they insist in provoking her?" She opened up a communication circle. "Ryuuko."

"What? I'm eating." Ryuuko said. "I had to skip lunch to sheathe a kendo stick in some pervert's ass."

"...Please tell me you didn't." Rias said.

"No. I just kicked him around a few times with no power." Ryuuko said. "Can you blame me? They keep grabbing my tits and ass. I'm getting damn sick of it."

"I know, I know, but could you gather your peerage and come to the clubroom?" Rias asked.

"Yeah Yeah I'm on it." Ryuuko said.

A few moments later Ryuuko, Tama, Hikari who was unchanged, Evangeline who was the same. Gran, who didn't look much different from Granberia, Yuri, Miyuki, Aruma, Eru, Kazuto and Chachamaru who was also unchanged came into the room. "Huh, Hikari-San, Evangeline-Sensei and Chachamaru-San are unchanged." Gasper thought.

"'Sup." Ryuuko said digging her pinky into her left ear.

"Well now that you're here we can begin." Rias said.

"But why did you need all of us?" Yuri asked. "Over half of us don't even attend this school." Aruma, Tama, Gran, Eru, Chachamaru and Evangeline all nod.

"Yes, but it would be easier to hand out duties if you're all gathered, would it not?" Rias asked.

Ryuuko shrugged. "Whatever...Haa..." She unbuttoned the top two buttons on her uniform top. "These damn uniforms do nothing for my body heat."

"Woo take it off Ryuuko!" Xenovia said.

"Yeah you like that don't you, ya impregnating maniac." Ryuuko said with an annoyed smirk.

"?" Gasper looked Ryuuko over, finally getting a good look at the genderswapped Kenshin who just lit up a smoke. "Huh...I see Kenshin-Sempai retains his strength and aptitude for training even when he's been turned into a girl. His...er...her body is incredibly toned, and while she doesn't have the perfect hourglass figure she still has a body a lot of women would kill to have...and her chest and hips are about the size and tone of Chief's."

"Hmmmm?" Ryuuko turned to Gasper. "Ya seem something you like?"

"E-Eh? !" Gasper blushed. "N-No! I-I mean I was just admiring how well you seem to take care of yourself, and how it reflects in how you look."

"Heheheh." Ryuuko walked over and pet Gasper's head. "Easy, I was just teasing, but you know I train constantly, that should be no surprise."

"R-Right...I-I've just been kind of out of it today." Gasper nodded.

"Oh? Are you OK Gasper-kun?" Akeno asked.

"I-I'm fine." Gasper said.

"Anyway..." Rias cleared his throat. "Let's begin for the day. The winter festival is coming up and we need to decide on something to do for it. Ryuuko, you and your peerage can help out right?"

"Well I don't know if Gran and Eru can, but everyone else should have no problem." Ryuuko said.

"You must remember our appearances." Eru said.

"Hn." Gran grunted.

"Yes Yes." Rias said. "But anyway, any ideas."

Issei raised his hand while saying. "Let's do a Oppai cafe with an ero photo shoot."

"Ah, that's a good idea Issei." Xenovia said.

"No way, it's too indecent!" Asia complained.

"You know, if we can pull it off we'll bring it a ton of profit." Akeno said.

"Still, the only people that can actually become the maids are Ryuuko, Yumi, Hikari, Evangeline and Chachamaru." Rias said.

"Well, if everyone wants me to do it, I might be able to." Yumi said with a baffled expression.

"I don't care." Chachamaru said with a neutral expression.

"Hell no." Evangeline, Hikari and Ryuuko said.

"Why not?" Xenovia asked.

"Because." Evangeline grunted.

"My body is only for a few men to see." Hikari said.

"I ain't in the business of giving pervs fapping fuel." Ryuuko said. "I get enough attention from them as it freakin' is."

"Awww..." Issei said. "I was looking forward to seeing some maid costumes that exposes those oppai a lot." He finished with a depraved expression.

"Already forgot the last time?" Ryuuko said cracking her knuckles.

"Ryuuko-kun, could you please stop, he's just a growing young man with urges." Yumi said.

"..." Ryuuko furrowed her brow. "You baby him too much. Besides I thought you and the Student Council Vice President had a thing going anyway."

"A-Ah..." Yumi's face turn a deep shade of red.

"..." Ryuuko grinned while exhaling smoke. "I knew it, you and Tsubaki are knocking boots. He put a bun in the oven yet?"

"R-Ryuuko!" Yumi cried out in embarrassment.

"Hahahahahaha!" Ryuuko laughed.

"Ryuuko, that's enough." Yuri said chopping his twin sister on top of the head.

"Gah, alright alright." Ryuuko said rubbing her head.

"Still it's not like we have the numbers for such a thing, even if we could get Evangeline, Hikari and Ryuuko to agree to it." Rias said.

"Well isn't that yours and Ryuuko's own faults for recruiting a bunch of men into your peerages, I mean people keep joking about Ryuuko having a reverse harem." Akeno said.

"Yeah screw them." Ryuuko huffed.

"Oh come on Ryuuko-Chan, a reverse harem sounds fun." Aruma teased.

"Gee I wonder why." Ryuuko said glaring in annoyance at the Incubus.

The club room emptied out until only Rias and Ryuuko remained. "Why do you have to keep raising hell?" Rias asked.

Ryuuko crossed her hands behind her head with a grin. "Awh come on you know you know love that about me."

"That's beside the point." Rias said, but a smile was on his face as they walked over and sat on the couch.

"So your parents still griping at you?" Ryuuko asked.

"Yes. Even though you've made it clear as day that you will not bear a child until everything's been settled." Rias said.

"Well yeah, I'm not getting put on the shelf for nine months until I know I can afford it." Ryuuko said. "So, sorry...you don't get to put anything in the oven until then." Ryuuko said kissing Rias on the cheek.

"Hahaha, a shame." Rias said wrapping his arm around Ryuuko.

"That said, we sure could have fun trying." Ryuuko said with a laugh.

"Hmhmhm, indeed." Rias said stroking Ryuuko's cheek.

Meanwhile Gasper bumped into Azazel who had also been transformed into a woman, who was currently arguing with Hikari. "What the fuck is wrong with you? !" Hikari snapped.

"I was running a test!" Azazel said.

"Oh, I'm sorry, but your test made everyone forget who they really are!" Hikari said. "Because I had to seal their memories!"

"Oh come on Hikari, is it really so bad?" Azazel said.

Hikari grabbed Azazel by the scruff of 'her' jacket and started shaking 'her' back and forth. "I am not getting used to having two sons and one daughter when before it was the reverse you mad scientist jackass! Just today I nearly called Kenshin by his birth name...the name I gave him, five times! Instead of that name you got from an anime!"

"OK OK OK!" Azazel said. "I'll fix this!"

"Good." Hikari said letting Azazel go who then ran off.

"So, um...Azazel-Sensei was the cause of this." Hikari turned to find Gasper.

"Huh? You have your memories?" Hikari asked.

"U-Uh huh..." Gasper said.

"Oh my god I missed one...well I guess it makes sense that I missed you. You look like a girl already and you're damn good at hiding when you want to be." Hikari said with a sigh. "But yeah, Azazel is the cause of this issue we've been having."

"Is it reversible?" Gasper asked.

"Azazel better hope it is." Hikari said with a growl.

"Umm...no offense Hikari-San, but...how are you able to threaten Azazel like that? I mean...he is leagues stronger than you." Gasper said.

"Aaah, but you forget Gasper. I'm the one who cooks his food, food that I might add he's grown rather fond of." Hikari said. "In layman's terms...you don't piss off the person who prepares your food."

"Uuuu..." Gasper shivered at the seemingly carefree smile on the Tsuki matriarch's face.

(break)

"Gasper, wake up."

"H-Huuuuhhh?" Gasper stirred and raised his head to find Koneko, not Daineko staring down at him. "Oh! She's back to normal!"

"What's wrong Gasper? You look like you just saw a monster or something." He turned his head and found Kenshin leaning against the wall.

"K-Kenshin-Sempai's back to normal too!" Gasper said.

"...Huh?" Kenshin and Koneko said tilting their heads curiously.

"Um...Gasper...do you care to explain?" He turned his head again, finding Kiba with a confused look.

"Um...well..." Gasper said.

Suddenly the door swung open and Azazel entered with Issei trailing behind him. "Hey guys I got something to show you." Azazel said holding up a ray gun. "It's a ray that when fired at someone allows them to change gender."

"Eeeh? ! That's what you were going on about? ! Hey Kenshin, Kiba get hit by it quick!" Issei said.

"Eh? Me?" Kiba said pointing at himself.

"No, you know what Issei why don't you get hit by it." Kenshin grunted. "That a way you'll have your own set of boobs to play with." He snatched the ray gun from Azazel and shot Issei with it before walking away.

"Hey! Come back with that!" Azazel said chasing him down.

(break)

The Next Day

Kenshin and Issei were walking down the second floor hallway of the house when they were stopped by Issei's mother. "Eh Mo-...errr.. ." Issei said cutting himself off before he said the wrong thing. Remembering that he was technically still dead to her.

"What's up?" Kenshin asked.

Issei's mother tilted her head curiously at Issei, but paid it no mind. "Well, that girl in the gothic maid outfit that you brought to stay over here...does she have anything else to wear? I mean that outfit she's wearing must smell pretty awful at this point." She asked.

Kenshin and Issei shared a look. "Ophis?" They both thought.

"I believe you said her name was Ophis? Yes well she seemed to come here with nothing and while I admire your kindness in taking her in Kenshin, she needs more clothes and everyday goods." Issei's mother.

"Well I can't exactly tell her that Ophis is a shapeshifter and clothes are kind of at a moot point." Kenshin thought.

"Well I kinda get what she's saying." Issei thought.

"Well I suppose she could use a few more outfits..." Issei said.

"Hmn..." Kenshin stroked his chin in thought. "We've been really busy and kinda just forgot about it."

"Well you aren't busy today are you?" Issei's mother asked.

"...Well..." Kenshin thought about it. There was his training to prepare for the Khaos Brigade and Yama, but missing one day wouldn't kill him." . "I guess not. I'll take care of it."

"OK then, will you be needing anything?" Issei's mother asked.

"No Aunt Hyoudou. I've got everything handled." Kenshin said shaking his head.

"OK then. By the way, we've been out of the house a lot, but our names are Miki and Gorou in case you forgot because of the accident." Issei's mother said with a smile.

"OK..uh..Aunt Miki." Kenshin said. Miki giggled to herself and walked past them. Once she was out of earshot Kenshin cleared his throat. "Sorry."

"For what?" Issei asked.

"I imagine it must still be painful for your parents to still think you're dead." Kenshin said.

"It...kind of is, but don't worry about it." Issei said.

Later on everyone was gathered in Kenshin's room. Ophis included who was sitting on the floor cross legged. "What's this about?" She asked.

"Well Ophis, seeing as you're living here with us, we'd like to know if there's anything you want. Everyone in this house has the basic amenities and some luxuries, but you do not. So what do you want?" Yukari asked with a friendly smile.

"Yeah, think of anything you might want." Alma said.

Ophis went into thought which lasted a couple of moments before speaking one sentence. "Great Red's head."

"..." Everyone that knew of Great Red stared at her, finally Kenshin spoke voicing their exasperation. "Think smaller, because right now that's just not possible."

"Why?" Granberia asked.

"Yeah, you've fought a lot of strong opponents before." Alma said.

"You saved Makai from Forbesii." Erubetie said.

"And Great Red would still eat me for lunch...he wouldn't even be satisfied either." Kenshin said.

"Yeah, I mean at least give us some time before that." Miyuki sighed.

"Uhm Ophis-Chan...is it OK if I call you that?" Akeno asked. "In what way did you live until now?"

Ophis nodded to her first question and then answered the second by saying. "Well, other than the shard of me getting lumped off on Tatsumi, and then her successor Shin Tatsu as a sign of being the Dragon God of Kenshin's world. I sat in a seat in a room and stated what I wanted, while handing out snakes to empower people."

"Wait, Kenshin you already know her?" Granberia asked.

"That shard developed it's own personality and even fell in love with the first Dragon God, Tatsumi." Kenshin said. "When I knew him, he was kind of a dick."

"He speaks the truth." Ophis nodded.

"That's all you did?" Issei asked.

"Yes." Ophis nodded.

"..." Everyone stared at her, most feeling bad for her, knowing the Khaos Brigade just used her. Kenshin meanwhile stared at her sympathetically.

"Kenshin?" Tamamo said seeing the look in his eyes.

"Huh? Oh sorry. I was kind of having a flashback to my Rikudou days." Kenshin said.

"What do you mean?" Rossweisse said.

"From my shards memories, he and his Rikudou compatriots were friends, but..." Ophis said.

"But if I became more trouble than I was worth, I'm sure they would have gotten rid of me without remorse." Kenshin said. "I showed up, got jobs, bought smoke from Daniel to add to my stockpile, killed people and went home. They used me and I used them."

"That's right." Yukari nodded in agreement.

"Ah, I get it...he was looking at her in sympathy." Tamamo thought.

"Now can we get back to the matter at hand?" Kenshin said pointing at Ophis.

"Well...in addition to what I said. Vali also spoke with me quite often." Ophis said.

"Right, makes sense..." Miyuki said.

"Um, there's something that's been bugging me." Irina said. "Is it...OK to think of Ophis-San as a girl."

"Hm..." Everyone said.

"I get where you're coming from, back during the war Azazel said Ophis wore the form of an old man." Kenshin said.

"Yeah, so...I don't know even given the current appearance...is it OK?" Issei said.

"Aren't you the one who changed my title to reflect my current appearance?" Ophis asked, gazing at Kenshin.

"You could have asked me not to do so." Kenshin said. "Now which is it?"

"I don't know." Ophis said

"Well, what kind of underwear are you wearing?" Xenovia asked.

"Hm...I guess that could get us to the point." Issei said before Ophis stood up.

"None." Ophis said before starting to raise her skirt.

"Stop!" Rias said. "We don't need you to show us!"

"Seriously." Kenshin sighed, exhaling smoke from a recently lit up smoke. "We'll take your word for it."

"...Are you disappointed?" Granberia asked seeing the look on Issei's face.

"Eying even the Dragon God...dess in a sexual way, that's not good Issei-Sama!" Ravel shouts.

"?" Kenshin turned to her. "When did you get back? I've been busy so sorry if I didn't notice you."

"I arrived today, and don't worry about it Kenshin-Sama." Ravel said. Kenshin nodded.

"Wh-What? I'm sorry it's basically a reflex at this point! Girls not wearing panties are attractive!" Issei said.

"Uh...huh..." Miyuki drawled.

"Well if that's how you feel I could stop wearing mine." Alma Elma winked.

"I-I'll stop wearing them too!" Asia said.

"Alma stop, Asia don't." Hikari facepalmed. "In the case of the former you could just seduce any three of the men here."

"You're right...and they are all pretty strong." Alma said.

"E-Eh?" Kiba said.

"U-Uuuhhhh." Issei said.

"If you want to help me with a cycle, be the first to find me." Kenshin said exhaling smoke.

"Won't be that hard." Alma giggled.

The girls interested in Kenshin all shared a look. One thought on most of their minds barring Yukari. "It's that easy?"

"Well, let's ask Kenshin and Issei." Rias said.

"And Kiba." Kenshin added.

"Me?" Kiba said. "Why?"

"They're asking the men and you're a man, or did you enjoy being Yumi?" Kenshin asked. "I can get Azazel to turn you back into her if you like."

"I-I'm fine..." Kiba sweatdropped.

"Well anyway, What do you think Ophis is?" Rias asked.

"Well I think Ophis is a girl." Issei said.

"I concur, even if Ophis-San doesn't act like it...or anything for that matter." Kiba said.

"I try not to judge the book by the cover, but in this case I have no choice. Ophis is a girl." Kenshin said.

"Alright, well on the next holiday, Issei and Kenshin will accompany me." Rias asid.

"Can I come with? I could stand to buy a few things and I could help." Miyuki said.

"Same here." Irina said.

"I don't see why not?" Rias nodded.

(break)

The Appointed Day.

Rias, Irina, Miyuki, Issei, Kenshin and Ophis walked into the department store. It was one that they frequented a lot and it was even the grounds for the Rating Game between Rias and Sona. Rias, Irina and Issei walked up front while the Kuroshi Tsuki siblings hung in the back with Ophis. Kenshin held Ophis' hand and deliberately walked at a sedated pace so she could keep up and not get lost. Miyuki noticed this and giggled.

"What?" Kenshin asked.

"You and Ophis, you look like a father and his daughter or an older brother spending time with his much younger sister." Miyuki said.

"!" Kenshin furrowed his brow, his face a bit red at what Miyuki was suggesting. "Don't joke like that, I ain't nowhere near father material right now."

"..." Ophis glanced back and forth at their exchange.

"Oh don't say that Onii-Chan." Miyuki said. "I mean you're going to have to have children sooner or later."

"Yeah, Later." Kenshin said.

"So what? Are you saying if you were suddenly called 'Tou-Chan, Tou-San' or the like, you'd just say don't call me that?" Miyuki said.

"Considering I've never been called either before, I have no idea how I'd react." Kenshin said.

"Hahaha, OK." Miyuki said. "But...personally Onii-Chan, I think you'd make a great Dad."

"?" Kenshin glanced over at her curiously. "Well...maybe." He said. "But, right now, I'm not ready."

"I know." Miyuki said. "But Onii-Chan." She walked forward before smiling at Kenshin. "Who really is ready for something like that?" She asked.

"..." Kenshin watched his sister join the others in front.

"What is a father?" Ophis asked.

"?" Kenshin glanced down at Ophis. He thought about giving her the textbook answer, but...he figured she'd already know that. "...I...don't know actually." He said. "I know the run of the mill answer, but..I figure you're looking for something else."

"What was your father like?" Ophis asked.

"?, You didn't get those memories from the shard?" Kenshin asked.

"It's memories only pertained to you." Ophis said.

"Uh huh...can I ask something?" Kenshin said.

"You just did." Ophis said.

"You know what I mean you little...ugh..." Kenshin facepalmed.

"Go ahead." Ophis said.

"You seem more...passive than the last times we've spoken. Why?" Kenshin asked.

"In our past conversations, I used memories from the shard to craft a pattern of speaking that would be most familiar and understandable to you." Ophis said. "I did not want to come off to you as difficult to understand. As for what I was saying. I was saying it, but most of the time it was reactionary and I didn't really know what it was I was saying. Nor did I really know people around you, or you past the surface of who you are

"..." Kenshin thought back to their past conversations. "So...you thought would be most familiar and understandable to me for you to speak...somewhat like me?"

"I suppose that's one way you can look at it." Ophis nodded. "But you're changing, slowly, but surely...so I'm trying to figure out how to speak with you again."

"..." Kenshin arched his brow curiously. "Huh...I guess that makes sense, but I guess to answer your question...my old man was someone who would have done anything to protect his family, he was a kind man and gentle man...well unless you incurred his ire." Kenshin said with a sweatdrop, smiling.

"Then if you find yourself with a child, why don't you model yourself after him?" Ophis asked.

"..." Kenshin stared at her. "Well..."

"Kenshin, we've arrived at the first store." Rias said from the front.

"Coming!" Kenshin said.

"You didn't answer my question." Ophis said.

"And I'm not going to." Kenshin said. "One thing you gotta remember, not every question is going to get an answer, whether it's from embarrassment, disinterest, or lack of time among other things."

"...OK." Ophis nodded.

The first shop they walked into was to buy Ophis a bed. "Well, see how you like it." Kenshin said as they walked up to one in particular.

"..." Ophis climbed up onto it. "...It's not bad. " She stated impassively.

Kenshin and Issei tilted over to whisper to Rias, being on either side of her. "You might want to make the call here." Issei said.

"That answer's pretty much all you're going to get." Kenshin said.

"Me?" Rias said. "Why not you?"

"We're judging Ophis as a girl here right?" Kenshin asked. "Do Issei or I look the least bit feminine?"

"Well I don't know Kenshin, those ears don't look very manly." Issei said with a grin.

"Just so you know Issei, male tigers, lions, lynxes, panthers, jaguars, cheetahs, et cetera have similar ears as mine...yet their prey is hardly concerned with them. They're more concerned with those claws and especially those fangs bearing down on them." Kenshin said.

"OK man, no need to get defensive." Issei said.

"Oh besides Kenshin I like them." Rias said petting Kenshin's head.

"..." Kenshin fought down every urge he had to sigh in content.

Ophis turned to Miyuki. "I've always wondered, does that really feel good or are you just acting?"

"U...Uhm..." Miyuki scratched behind her head with a sheepish look. "You...really wouldn't understand unless you had them...I guess would be the right answer."

"I see..." Ophis nodded.

Eventually they settled on a bed with a hefty price tag. Kenshin couldn't help wincing a bit as Rias paid for it. "What?" Rias said.

"I'm definitely more frugal than you." Kenshin said.

"Well she has the money why not enjoy it?" Issei said. "Still I have to wonder what your expense report looks like Chief."

"Considering how entrenched the Gremorys are in devil society, and the fact that her mother is a Bael...I'd imagine it'd make a businessman's expense report on a business trip seem meek in comparison." Kenshin said.

"What are you saying?" Rias asked with an annoyed look. "I don't just splurge irresponsibly."

"Didn't Venerana harp on you about it when we went to your house?" Kenshin asked with a grin.

"Aah..." Rias said unable to retort..

"See? You're totally a Sugar Mama." Kenshin snickered.

"Well then what's the big deal? You're the one getting married to me. I figured you'd like it." Rias huffed.

"Who said I didn't?" Kenshin asked.

"Then why are you harping on me about it?" Rias said getting in his face.

Kenshin's head inched moved and stole a quick kiss. "Because I like pressing your buttons from time to time." Kenshin snickered.

"Mrrnn." Rias pouted at him with a glare. "Dammit it's impossible to stay mad at you for very long." Rias sighed.

"Heheh." Kenshin said.

"Besides Onii-Chan, you're not that frugal lately. I hear that tail accessory you bought Alice-Sama wasn't very cheap." Miyuki said.

"You bought the Demon Queen a gift?" Issei asked.

"He did, soon after everyone arrived in Makai." Ophis said impassively.

"You had only known her a short amount of time and you bought her an expensive tail accessory?" Rias asked with a critical look.

"To be fair Rias, I only knew you for like a week and I bought you a chess set." Kenshin said. "It wasn't cheap."

"With money you pickpocketed from Raiser." Rias countered.

"To which if I remember correctly, and Issei will back me up on this, you found hilarious. So wouldn't that technically make your complaint invalid?" Kenshin asked.

"Who's complaining? It was hilarious." Rias said.

"Guys...can we move on." Irina asked, while amused by their 'button pressing' with each other, was getting impatient.

"Isn't patience a virtue? Better check those wings." Issei said.

(bonk)

Irina bopped her fist on Issei's head. "Hush you."

"Heheh." Issei snickered. "You know I'm just teasing."

"I know." Irina said with a smile, kissing him on the cheek.

The group of six finished buying furniture for Ophis and gave the store the address to bring it to. "Today's spending limit has been decided by Onee-Sama however." Rias said as they left.

"I see..." Issei nodded.

"Doesn't Grayfia also oversee the accounts on our funds from the show?" Kenshin asked.

"Yes." Rias said.

"What's the balance on that anyway? She never lets me look at it." Kenshin asked.

"Probably because you'd withdraw all of your money and store it away in one of your seals ya greedy miser." Irina said.

"Am I really getting roasted by an angel?" Kenshin said.

"It's a lot, I understand why she controls it for us." Issei said.

"I guess." Kenshin said. "I gotta build a house sometime though. I can't stay at Issei's place forever."

"It's not like you're any trouble." Issei said. "My parents enjoy having you around."

"Issei it's more...I've never had my own place. It's either been the Rikudou hideouts, ratty motels/hotels, the Welsh Magic Academy back in my world, Evangeline's Cottage in Mahora, the tent Yukari and I shared in the Kuroshi and Tsuki encampment, Under the stars, but I just think it'd be nice to have a place for my family and I to call our own."

"You know you could talk with my father to buy up a plot of land." Rias said. "You wouldn't have to do anything with it right away and we have plenty of tracts."

"I'll keep that in mind, but maybe when things aren't so hectic." Kenshin nodded. Rias nodded back.

They saw a sale going on and a crowd of old people fighting over various items. "Ten Thousand Yen says Rossweisse is over there." Miyuki said.

"She said she had to catch up on grading papers, I'll take that bet." Issei said.

"I'll let you two have that action." Kenshin said.

"Same." Rias said.

"I...don't know if I can gamble, even with the magical doorknob in my hand." Irina said poking her fingers together.

"Gimme that, that's mine!"

"Eh?" Issei said seeing a head of white silver hair amongst the crowd.

"The Valkyrie is over there." Ophis said.

Sure enough, Rossweisse was fighting amongst the crowd for the time sale stuff, smiling cutely the whole time, exclaiming today was the best.

"Issei, you owe Miyuki ten thousand yen." Kenshin said.

"Heheheheheh." Miyuki snickered.

"Damn it...Shoulda known better than to bet against Rossweisse-San being an economizer." Issei said. "Give me some time."

"Whatever you say." Miyuki shrugged.

"Onee-Sama praises Rossweisse-San's frugal attitude." Rias said.

"Wouldn't that also have something to do with the two of them having some of the same quirks?" Kenshin asked.

"Yeah except Grayfia-San wouldn't fight old women in a time sale." Issei muttered.

"Well, she seems to be enjoying herself, let's leave her to it." Irina said.

"Right." Rias, Issei, Miyuki and Kenshin said.

The group proceeded onward. "Azazel, that's a obscenely stupid name."

"It's cool to me dammit!" Azazel said.

"Huh?" Everyone watched Azazel and Hikari bicker amongst each other.

"Of course it's cool to you, you're a chunnibyou." Hikari said.

"Um...what's going on here?" Miyuki asked, breaking them both away from their argument.

"Your mother here doesn't like my creative name for my new item I'm selling here." Azazel said holding up a kitchen knife with a menacing aura. "Behold! The Blazer Shining Aura Darkness Blade. Kitchen Knife type!"

"...No no no no." Miyuki said shaking her head.

"Thank you!" Hikari said throwing her hands in the air.

"Agh!" Azazel said.

"Wait, I've heard that name before." Issei said. "Is that one of your artificial Sacred Gears?"

"Yeah." Azazel nodded. "I'm trying to make all the money I took from the Grigori back."

"All that toilet flush money?" Kenshin chided.

"Shut it you." Azazel said with a comical glare.

"Anyway, your selling of dangerous items to humans aside, if you're going to do this, it has to roll off the tongue. Your name would be fine if it were going to be a weapon against a supernatural foe, but not as a tool to be sold publicly." Kenshin said.

"Yeah, you'd get laughed at it you tried to bring that idea to a business with that name." Irina said.

"Am I seriously getting roasted by an angel?" Azazel said with a glower.

"Hm...How about this, you call it the Blazer Knife, with the tagline. 'It blazes and cuts through anything or your money back.'" Miyuki said.

"Hm...well it still is my name, if only a part of it." Azazel said.

"It does roll off the tongue better." Hikari said.

"Alright, let's go for that then." Azazel said.

"OK, see ya." Kenshin and everyone waved and left. As they were leaving Rias put away her phone. "Who were you talking to?"

"I called Shemhaza-San to ask about what Azazel was doing...I don't think he was cleared to do this...they might end up seizing things immediately." Rias said.

"Huh..." Kenshin said.

"Poor Sensei..." Issei sweatdropped.

After they had went to shop for dried foods they saw two more familiar faces. "...Are we going to run into everyone today?" Miyuki said seeing Kiba and Gasper just ahead of them.

"I guess so." Kenshin said.

"Hey Kiba, Gyasuke!" Issei called out.

"Eh? Issei-kun, Kenshin-kun, Miyuki-San, Irina-San, Chief." Kiba said. "Oh, that's right. It slipped my mind that you were doing the shopping today." He said seeing Ophis as well.

"Yes, and what are you two doing?" Rias asked.

"Oh, it's time to stock up, running low on food." Kiba said. "So I decided to have Gasper get out a bit and help me shop."

"Oh? How are you feeling Gasper?" Rias asked.

"I-I'm fine, Yuuto-Sempai makes sure I'm not bothered too much." Gasper said. "Besides, it is nice to be of help."

"Hm?" Kenshin arched his brow seeing Gasper holding a bag as well. "What's that?"

"Um...Parts for a Computer." Gasper said.

"Oh right, you're good with those." Issei said.

"Aah, if it isn't Kenshin-San and Rias-San." Everyone turned to find Tsubaki walking up to them.

"Oh hello Tsubaki." Rias greeted.

"Hey Kiba your girlfriend's here." Kenshin said.

"E-Eh? !" Tsubaki stepped backward, seeing Kiba with them.

"...?" Kenshin, Miyuki and Issei all stared at her oddly.

"Hey, Kiba-kun's stocking up, why don't you help him Tsubaki-San?" Irina suggested.

"Hell, maybe you could help her shop for clothes as well Kiba." Kenshin suggested.

"Yeah, and probably get busy in the dressing room while the vampire's browsing." Yuurei said.

"Pfft." Kenshin snickered.

"Then again, if you could pull it off, it does sound like fun." Yuurei added.

"Well...I do need help buying a bookshelf." Tsubaki said.

"OK, I'll help you." Kiba said, the two walking away with Gasper.

Kenshin leaned over to Rias and Issei. "Kiba's so getting laid later." He said with a grin.

"Heheheh, get some pretty boy." Issei snickered.

"Well, good for him." Rias giggled. "But how do you know?"

"Because before the Middle Class devil exams, I kept noticing their respective scents on each other." Kenshin said pointing at his nose.

"Could have been training." Miyuki said.

"They were drenched in it." Kenshin said.

"Aah." Miyuki nodded.

"I still don't follow." Issei said.

"Think if you and Irina started sleeping together, doing 'that' sort of thing. Then she started wearing your shirt the next morning." Kenshin said. "I'd pick up on it later that day and throw out a comment that you two smelled like each other."

"E-Ehhh..." Irina's face went dark red.

"You can't hide anything from my nose." Kenshin said.

"Or mine, Onee-Chan's or Mom's for that matter." Miyuki said.

That said, the group proceeded. As they were passing the musical instrument store a voice called out to them. "Kenshin, Rias, their servants and the angel huh?"

"Oh, hello Raiser." Kenshin said as Raiser, Ravel, Yubelluna and Koneko walked in front of them.

"What're you doing there Koneko?" Miyuki asked.

"Guide." Koneko said.

"Well that, and the fact that Ravel and Koneko have been getting closer lately." Kenshin thought.

"So, what are you doing in the human world Raiser?" Rias asked.

"And what's with this department store today?" Issei thought.

"He decided to come because he was concerned about me." Ravel said. "I told him I'd be fine, I mean this territory is controlled by two great devil families while supplemented by the Dragon of the Elements and the Sekiryuutei, but he insisted and Yubelluna just wanted to come with."

"Hm?" Kenshin glanced at Yubelluna. "Huh, guess she doesn't need help talking to them after all."

"I don't get why. It's not like there's anything particularly interesting here." Raiser said.

"Well she was with me in Makai for a few months Raiser. She got to broaden her horizon and wanted to see more." Kenshin shrugged.

"I guess." Raiser shrugged. "Could stand to broaden my client base."

'Thank you' Yubelluna mouthed to Kenshin who nodded.

"Hm? Who's the little lady?" Raiser said looking over at Ophis.

Kenshin took a drink while Rias had a thoughtful expression on her face. Issei was trying to come up with a easy lie when...

"It's Chief Rias' and Kenshin-Sempai's child." Koneko stated simply.

"PFFT? !" Kenshin did a spit take

"That's way too far, and I think we would have all noticed Chief being pregnant!" Issei thought.

Raiser didn't move. Yubelluna glanced over at him in concern. "Shit! Rias' virginity has already been-!"

"You're slow! I took that months ago!" Kenshin said in a fluster.

"Onii-Sama! Koneko-Chan was joking around! There's no way a baby between Kenshin-Sama and Rias-Sama could be born so quickly! Don't say such things in front of people or you'll become the opposite of the engagement party. Jeez!"

"Besides she doesn't even look like Kenshin-San or Rias-San." Irina said.

"Um...guys." Miyuki said, pointing at Ophis.

"Huh?" Kenshin said. "!"

Ophis' hair had turned crimson red with an ahoge strand sticking upward. Her eyes were blue and gold and she was even wearing one of Kenshin's black jackets and she even had a pair of cat ears.

"Not your child huh?" Raiser said with a critical eye.

"I think I would have noticed Rias' preg-...wait why the hell am I defending myself to you? ! It's none of your damn business what I do with my wife to be!" Kenshin snapped.

"...Fufufu, come on everyone!" Rias said grabbing Kenshin's hand and taking off. Kenshin grabbing Ophis and holding her with one arm as they took off.

Once they were well enough away from Raiser, Kenshin glared comically at Ophis who had since changed back to normal. "Don't...do that...again."

"OK..." Ophis said, a ghost of a smile tugging at her lips.

"Oh come on Kenshin, it was nice to see him get flustered." Rias said, laughing softly.

"It's more he's embarrassed by the prospect of being a father right now." Miyuki laughed.

"Oh?" Rias said.

Kenshin turned his glare to Miyuki who merely stuck her tongue out at him. "Let's just finish up." Kenshin said with a grunt.

They did just that completing just about everything. They were currently having lunch in the food court. Kenshin chewed on the straw from his finished drink as he waited for everyone to finish. "Kenshin, you seem impatient." Rias said.

"This is my first time doing this sort of thing." Kenshin said.

"Really?" Rias, Issei and Irina said.

"Oh that's right, you were always busy, it was usually Dad and Mom with Onee-Chan and I." Miyuki said.

"Yup." Kenshin said. "That said I don't mean to come off as impatient. I just wasn't expecting this to take as long as it has."

"It's fine." Rias nodded.

"So, anyway. Ophis what do you like here so far?" Kenshin asked.

"Doughnuts...cookies..." Ophis mumbled with her mouth full.

"Hmhmhm, come on now, swallow your food before you talk." Kenshin said with a smile. "Here you got something right here." He said reaching over and wiping her face gently with his sleeve, clearing any stray crumbs away.

"Huh..." Issei said. "You really do look like a parent right now Kenshin, or at the very least a big brother."

"Nn!" Kenshin froze for a moment.

"Fufufufu." Miyuki giggled to herself.

"Hm, maybe your paternal instincts are getting kindled a bit here." Undine said.

"Damn it, not you too!" Kenshin thought.

"So what's next?" Irina asked.

"Well I suppose last would be the underwear." Rias said.

"I see..." Issei said.

"...Are you...getting excited?" Kenshin muttered to himself.

The group walked into the clothing shop, the women already in there giving Issei suspicious looks. Kenshin pointed at Issei, then at Irina. The looks stopped as they figured correctly that the two were together. The group split up with Issei and Irina going off together while Kenshin, Miyuki, Rias and Ophis stuck together.

"Ok Ophis, which one would you like?" Rias asked.

"I...don't know." Ophis said looking the articles of clothing over.

"Then a colored one is good, what's your favorite color?" Miyuki asked.

"...Black." Ophis stated.

"Yes, it does suit you..." Kenshin grabbed a modest looking black pair. "...Too big." He said holding it in front of her.

"Should I make them bigger?" Ophis asked. "My, breasts are smooth and flat."

"Uhm...no that's..." Rias was cut off.

"It wouldn't be a bad idea." Kenshin said.

"Huh?" Rias and Miyuki eyed the Kuroshi Patriarch suspiciously.

"Did you knock out my brother and assume his identity Issei?" Miyuki glowered.

"Ugh..." Kenshin grunted. "Let me explain. Ophis can change her form, I've actually seen her matured form before. She could do with some clothes for that form as well."

"Hmm..." Rias stroked her chin in thought. "Well, how about we do this on the next available holiday, and Ophis will be in that form."

"OK." Kenshin and Ophis nodded.

"Hey Onii-Chan..." Miyuki called out.

"Miyuki I swear if you tease me about the whole Dad thing again I'll..." Kenshin trailed off as he saw Miyuki holding a cherry red bra and thong combo with a garter belt and stockings included.

"I wasn't, I wanted to know what you though about this." Miyuki said.

"Hm? Miyuki-San that's a little daring." Rias said with a small smile. "Huh, so both Yukari and Miyuki are interested in Kenshin now. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Miyuki's moving on from Vali." She thought.

"Well, if you got it, right?" Miyuki asked.

"It looks...nice." Kenshin said while twirling his pointing index finger around.

"..." Miyuki glanced around. "Oh, r-right, forgot about that." She thought. She smiled and nodded. "Thanks Onii-Chan. I'll get it then." She said.

"Hm...let's keep looking for something in Ophis' current size." Rias said.

"You two do that, I'm going to look for someone who works here, see if they can help find something that's black, but appropriate for her." Kenshin said splitting up from them.

Kenshin walked around the shop looking for an employee. While he didn't find one he happened along a conversation involving the church trio and Issei.

"Xenovia-San, this underwear has holes in it!" Asia said.

"Yeah, the butt is completely visible, It's already failing it's job as underwear, do you think it's for dates?" Xenovia asked. "What do you think Irina?"

"Wh-What are you asking me for? !" Irina blanched. "I'm an angel, I've already decided on pure white underwear!"

"Really? I could swear I saw you buying a pink pair with bears on it." Asia said.

"Huh?" Issei said glancing at Irina.

"Wh-What? ! You saw that? !" Irina exclaimed with a blush.

"Oh will you pipe down Irina? The Heavens aren't going to be upset that you're wearing that sort of underwear." Xenovia said.

"Seriously..." Issei and the unseen Kenshin thought while rolling their eyes.

"Even I wore a transparent pair before." Xenovia said.

"You're a devil, of course you did." Irina grumbled.

"Well, Issei. What do you think? Who does this set of underwear suit?" Xenovia asked. "Kenshin isn't on hand so I'm fine with your opinion."

"Why are you asking me? !" Issei blanched before he glanced at all three of them. "..Asia's been getting worse...or better depending on your viewpoint...Xenovia doesn't know what the hell she's talking about half the time in this sense...but Irina..."

"Hmmm...?" They all watched Issei's face get lopsided as he grinned pervertedly. "Irina..."

"Wh-Wha? !" Irina squeaked, her face cherry red. "A-Aah! If I fall in a place like this it would be troublesome, but Issei just said these would suit me! Aaah! What do I doooo? !" She said assuming a prayer stance. "Aaah! I'll buy it!" She said snatching the lingerie set out of Xenovia's hands and taking off.

"H-Hey! Wait! I'll buy it!" Xenovia said following after her with Asia.

"...You were fantasizing about Irina in that weren't you?" Kenshin asked making Issei turn to him.

"I-I couldn't help it! Irina dressing in that sort of thing, it probably wouldn't ever happen in real life!" Issei blanched.

"Hm, I guess Ilias' angels have the upper hand here." Yuurei noted.

"Huh?" Kenshin thought.

"Ilias' angels didn't have to worry about shit like that, you fell to her when you betrayed her ranks, nothing else." Yuurei said.

"Huh, ya don't say, maybe I should bring that up to Michael next time I see him." Kenshin thought. "Well, you might end up seeing it next time you and her knock boots. See ya." Kenshin said, leaving Issei sputtering.

Kenshin kept walking through the store. He found a trio of devils shopping. Akeno, Sona and Yukari. He started listening in again. "So you're going to buy that Akeno?" Sona asked gesturing toward a flashy set of lingerie.

"Yes, Kenshin-kun seems satisfied with these types." Akeno said.

"Maybe, maybe not. I've never known Kenshin to have an opinion on that sort of thing." Yukari said. "I "You could wear conservative or flashy and he'll probably still enjoy the view about the same going either way." Yukari said.

"I suppose." Akeno said. "I suppose I'll get it because I like it then. Why don't you get something flashy yourself Sona?"

"No thanks. I prefer conservative." Sona said.

"Though I said that earlier, he does like seeing things from women he doesn't typically expect them from." Yukari said. "You could stand to show things off from your end Sona."

"It's not Kenshin I'm worried about." Sona said.

"Aaah, Serafall-Sama." Akeno and Yukari nodded.

"Yes..." Sona said adjusting her glasses with a blush on her face.

"Y'know now that she knows, Serafall might try for a ménage à trois." Yukari said.

"Ufufu, Kinky." Akeno giggled.

"The worst part is...you're totally right." Sona said with a sigh.

"Still Sona, if you're attracted to Kenshin-kun, why not buy something for a 'special occasion." Akeno said.

"Like after a date or gathering that you had him attend with you. Hell even I have a set of special occasion lingerie and I don't really need to have it, it's just nice to have." Yukari said.

"You realize that our run of luck in not getting stripped has been poor with Issei around right?" Sona asked.

"You change into it after you come home." Akeno and Yukari said.

"...Oh." Sona said.

"Well, maybe I could recommend these to Serafall." Yukari said glancing at the lingerie Akeno was holding.

"Please don't." Sona said with an exasperated look.

Kenshin took this moment to look at them."Unholy shit, that's basically string with cloth to cover the areola and is that a G-String? !" Kenshin thought.

"?" Yukari glanced over, sensing Kenshin's aura, a small cheshire grin appeared on her face. "Well, maybe I could buy one for myself. "

"!" Kenshin's eyes widened having a vision of Yukari in the lingerie bubble up in his mind.

"Well, I might not need it." Sona muttered to herself.

"Eh, true. If he's already turned on, lingerie won't matter." Yukari shrugged.

"Too true." Akeno said.

Kenshin watched as Saji's mini harem came to Sona and started complaining, apparently Ruruko was buying risque lingerie to get a leg up on the much bustier Momo.

Shaking his head he left the area and went to find Rias and Ophis, but he only found the former. "Rias...where's Ophis?" He asked with a concerned look.

"She...She went somewhere." Rias said, speaking with a shop employee.

"Damn!" Kenshin said taking off throughout the shop, sensing out Ophis' signature. "Damn it! I kept forgetting, she's got the appearance presently of a girl, but she's still the Dragon Goddess the Khaos Brigade is hunting!" He thought.

He sensed Rias behind him as he exited the shop and found Ophis grabbing sweets at a nearby stand. Ophis noticed him and pointed. "He's paying."

"Oh, I saw you walking around with her earlier. Did you lose track of her?" The stand clerk asked.

"Aah, yeah. We're buying clothes for her and I lost track of her looking for an employee in the shop to ask for advice." Kenshin said.

"You should already know her measurements and such." The clerk countered.

"I...don't shop...like at all." Kenshin sweatdropped.

"Oh, hmhmhm. I see." She giggled. "Well if you're paying."

"Yeah Yeah." Kenshin handed her a few yen notes and took Ophis' hand. "Please let us know before you run off." He said. "It's difficult to protect you from the Khaos Brigade if you randomly disappear."

"OK." Ophis said.

Kenshin smiled and walked into the store and found Rias, Issei and Irina, the third of whom seemed embarrassed. "Oh, there she is." Rias said with a relieved sigh. "Please don't run off like that again."

"OK." Ophis said.

"Find anything?" Kenshin asked.

"Yes, and I had one of the workers here take her measurements and found some things that are appropriate and asked her to try them on and paid already, that's when she slipped away.." Rias said.

"So we're done here then?" Irina said.

"Looks like it." Issei said.

They left the store and came across most of the people they ran into throughout the day eating. Kenshin watched Raiser eating a hamburger and couldn't help commenting. "Y'know, for someone who isn't fond of the human world, you sure are wolfing that thing down."

"Shaddap! I happen to enjoy these!" Raiser snapped.

"Tawara hamburgers are superior." Koneko said impassively.

"Please don't argue..." Yubelluna said trying to calm Raiser as he glared at Koneko.

"Calm down and eat your burger Onii-Sama!" Ravel huffed.

Kenshin glanced over at the Sitri Peerage. Momo and Ruruko sat on either side of Saji who seemed nervous and across from them sat Sona who seemed bored of their complaints against each other.

Kenshin turned his head, seeing Issei and Raiser arguing and was about to bust it up when his phone went off with a text message. "Hm?" He brought it up. "..." It was from the phone Azazel had given to Raynare.

"Where have you been?"

Kenshin furrowed his brow and hammered in a reply. "Busy, what do you want."

"Talk tomorrow night. I'm getting stir crazy." She replied.

"My new Knight, Rook and Pawn think you're adorable. (sarcasm)" Kenshin replied.

"You told someone about me? !" Raynare replied.

"No, now don't text me again for awhile." Kenshin replied as he saw Rias and Yukari approaching him.

"Who were you texting?" Yukari said.

"Azazel." Kenshin lied smoothly. "He was getting pissed at me for the Grigori pestering him."

"But I'm the one who called them." Rias said.

"Oh he was pissed at you too." Kenshin said. "Fucking damn it. Here I am lying to my sister and my wife to be for that Stripper Angel." He thought.

"Oh...well I guess I'll clear it up with him later." Rias said.

"Aah that won't be necessary, I took care of it already." Kenshin said waving his hand.

"..." Yukari stared at him suspiciously.

"A-Anyway, let's just go." Kenshin said.

(break)

Next day.

"You had a child with Rias-Sempai? !" Matsuda shouts.

"A marriage in school? !" Motohama screeched.

"We'll never forgive you!" The two perverts punched at Kenshin who ducked and backhanded them with no power, knocking them to the ground.

"It's after school and you two just couldn't wait to start this shit?" Kenshin said with a bored grunt.

"Seriously..." Issei sighed in exasperation before they left for the ORC.

"Those two idiots seriously get on my nerves sometimes." Kenshin said.

"I know man, but cut them some slack." Issei said.

"What slack? If they weren't so damn openly perverted they might already have girlfriends." Kenshin snorted. "Matsuda's athletic and Motohama's at least smart. You mean to tell me they couldn't find girlfriends in THIS school with a simple change in attitude?"

"You...bring up a good point." Issei said with a sweatdrop as they ascended the stairs to the second floor. "Huh?"

"Oh, hey Ophis." Kenshin greeted as they saw the Infinity Dragon Goddess looking up at the sky.

"It's...a clear day." Ophis said.

"Yeah, not a cloud in the sky." Issei said.

"I, after coming here often, started seeing the human world's sky." Ophis said.

"Well, how is it compared to your home?" Kenshin asked.

"It's not bad." Ophis said with a small smile.

"Heheh, well we're glad you like it." Issei chuckled.

"Let's go to the department store again sometime." Ophis said.

"Oh we will." Kenshin said. "Come on Issei, lets go get your work. Ophis, if you need anything I'm just a call away OK?"

"OK." Ophis said with a nod.

(Break)

That Night.

Kenshin walked toward the door of the Hyoudou Residence. "Eh? Kenshin where are you off to?" Tamamo asked.

"I'm just going for a walk." Kenshin said.

"Here, I'll come with you." Miyuki offered.

"Thanks, but I'd like to have a bit of time to myself if it's all the same to you." Kenshin said with a smile.

"...Alright." Miyuki sighed with a smile.

Kenshin left the house. "..." Yukari watched him leave before getting up and walking upstairs. She entered Kenshin's room and found his phone on the bedside table. She took it and went to the texts lists. "Who the hell?" She said with narrowed eyes. "Talk tomorrow...getting stir crazy...is Kenshin going to meet a woman in private? Why would he feel the need to hide it?" She put the phone down and opened the window, finding and tailing Kenshin.

However...in her haste to tail her brother, she didn't realize she herself was being tailed a short time later by three people. Yukari followed Kenshin to a hotel where he entered and asked the clerk for a room key number. She snuck by while the clerk wasn't looking. She followed Kenshin up two flights of stairs and stopped at a door in the middle of the hallway. When he entered Yukari silently approached the door that Kenshin left open.

"What do you want?" Kenshin asked crossing his arms as Raynare sat in a chair in her Fallen Angel attire.

"Is that how you talk to a lady?" Raynare asked.

"When the 'lady' has tried to kill me in the past, Yes." Kenshin said. "And don't go to the 'Kokabiel threatened me' thing. I wasn't known to have a Sacred Gear when we met so you would have tried to off me regardless."

"Kind of wishing I had." Raynare grumbled. "You are such an asshole."

"Why thank you, Stripper Angel." Kenshin said.

"Stop fucking calling me that!" Raynare said with an angry glare as Kenshin pulled out a smoke and lit it up.

"Stop dressing like a stripper." Kenshin said. "Not all Fallen Angels dress in all leather with their 'naughty bits' barely covered you know."

"Grrrh..." Raynare growled before sighing. "OK can you please quit pressing my buttons?"

"Whatever." Kenshin sighed. "I don't like this anymore than you do honestly. I had to lie to my sister and my wife to be just to keep you secret. If it were up to me I'd just shove you in front of Issei and Asia and let nature work itself out, but nope, Azazel says otherwise and I have to keep watching you. Damn mad scientist prick."

"Don't you think you should show the Govern-" Raynare was cut off.

"Former Governor General. He was forced to abdicate his position." Kenshin said.

Yukari listened in the whole time. "OK so it doesn't sound like he even likes this woman, but why is Azazel trying to keep her secret from Issei?" She thought.

Kenshin grunted. "So what do you want?"

"Can I leave? I've been cooped up in here for days! I need to stretch my wings." Raynare said.

"Why are you asking me? Call Azazel." Kenshin said.

"You honestly think I haven't tried?" Raynare scoffed.

"Until I hear otherwise, the answer is no." Kenshin said. "Now if that is all. He unsealed a bottle of wine. "Help yourself." He turned and left the room, stopping in front of the doorway. "Come on Yukari." He said.

"? !, You told someone? !" Raynare said.

"No, she followed me." Kenshin said as the two left. "Why did you follow me?" He asked as they exited.

"Come on, do you really think you can keep a secret from me? Now, why lie?" Yukari asked.

"Because that's the Fallen Angel that Rias dusted around the time I met her, that screwed with Issei and Asia. Azazel brought her back with the Homunculus Project." Kenshin said.

"That's that bitch?" Yukari scowled. "Why did he bring her back?"

"Because apparently she was getting railroaded into doing that by Kokabiel and Azazel cares about her." Kenshin shrugged. "I particularly don't, but I kind of owe the old man one."

"Yeah I could tell." Yukari said. "At first I thought you were..."

"Meeting a woman in secret for sex?" Kenshin drawled. "I'm insulted Yukari, why would I seek outside sources when you, Rias, Akeno...just to name a few are usually in my immediate vicinity."

"Not necessarily that, but it was one of the lesser things to cross my mind." Yukari said. "I was just curious is all."

"OK...by the way you know you were being tailed too right?" Kenshin asked.

"Huh? Who got the drop on me?" Yukari said with a question mark over her head.

"I couldn't tell two of them, but the third presence felt...Holy." Kenshin said.

"Wait...that sounds like Irina...but then that would mean the other two were probably..." Yukari said.

"Ooooh...fuck." Kenshin cursed as he teleported away.

Meanwhile Irina found Yukari tailing Kenshin and started tailing them herself, behind her was Issei and Asia. "Why is Kenshin going to a hotel?" Issei said.

"And why is Yukari-San following him from such a far distance." Asia said as they entered, slipping by the now clerkless desk.

"I mean I get that they could be doing this for privacy, but something just seems off." Issei said.

"Shh...I can't hear anything." Irina said in a whisper.

"Isn't this technically impure?" Issei said in the same tone.

"Angels look in on the human world all the time, there's nothing wrong with taking a more direct approach." Irina replied. "I still can't hear anything."

"Well you can't get any closer...I guarantee Yukari will hear you." Issei whispered.

"I wonder what she's listening to?" Asia asked.

Soon Kenshin exited the room, and busted Yukari, and the two left. The door shut and Irina, Issei and Asia walked toward it. "...Hm..." Irina slapped the door knob over the room's doorknob, turning the hallway into a 'Fall Free' zone. She knocked on the door. "Ahem, Room Service."

"?" Raynare stared at the door. "Who the? I didn't order room service." She muttered. "Well, better tell them to sod off or they'll never leave." She walked toward the door and opened it. "? ! !" Her eyes widened in shock, stepping back.

But that didn't even begin to compare to the shock that stormed through Issei and Asia. "Issei? Asia?" Irina said.

"N..No, w-why are you here?" Raynare said stepping back, her body quivering.

"Ho-How are you alive?" Asia said.

"W-Wait, C-Chief killed you, Kenshin defeated you and Chief killed you!" Issei said.

"I...I-I...I..." Raynare stammered, the words frozen in her throat.

"OK, I'm confused...WHO is this?" Irina said as they entered the room .

"R-Raynare...the fallen angel." Issei said, now frozen on the spot.

"? !" Irina turned to Issei. "...Wait...so this is her...the person who killed Issei, who indirectly got him turned into a devil, who made it near impossible for him to show love to anyone." Irina thought. "I see..."

(slam!)

"? !" Issei, Asia and Raynare watched as Irina ripped the magical doorknob off the outside knob, slammed the door and applied the magical doorknob to the inside knob. A light sword appeared in her hand.

"With that doorknob in place...I can fly off the handle as much as I want...and I won't fall..." Irina said. "I don't know how you came back, but I'm sending you back to Hell, you BITCH!"

"? !" Raynare fell back as Irina slashed her sword down at her.

(clang!)

"? !" Irina, Issei, Asia and Raynare all saw a black blade stop Irina's light sword. They all turned to find Kenshin holding Kuroi Jigoku.

"Stand down Irina." Kenshin said. "Unless you'd like to piss off Azazel."

(Chapter end)

Draconis: Kenshin got in the way of me writing this chapter.

Kenshin: Your wings are turning black Irina."

Irina: Aaah! (shirks back)

Kenshin: Made ya look. Knobs on Draconis' house front door.

Irina: ...Dick.
