Prologue!

"Hey Dildodora-nii-chan, what are you doing? You seem to be happy about something, but what is that something I do wonder? Maybe it is something to do with your newest peerage member perhaps? Your only peerage member that is. The only one that wants to be on your peerage that is~"

A young boy of the age of 11 walked up to a boy in a field, a castle behind them, who appeared to be two to three years older than he was, with said boy wearing a dirty face for the younger boy.

The young boy in question was a boy of a slightly smaller than average height for a eleven year old, who had bright green hair that came down to his shoulders, having two antenna like strands of hair sticking up out of the top of his head. His eyes were a bright yellow colour that shone in the sun. His pure white skin and cheery face displayed a smile that lit up the world around them.

"Don't call me Dildodora-nii-chan! It's Diodora you idiot! Even if you are Onii-sama's son, I wont hold back if you piss me off even more than you have today! I'm not gonna hold back if it is you, moron boy!"

The boy snapped back at the younger boy who waved a hand at him.

"Don't worry so much about it Diodora-nii-chan. And don't call me an idiot Dildodora-nii-chan. Anyway, where is your Queen? I wanna make sure that she's okay. She looked depressed the last time that I saw her. You aren't being mean to your servant are you?"

Diodora's lips rose ever so slightly into a disgusting one as he looked towards the boy.

"Don't you worry about her. She's alright. She's just resting after what we did last night. And what a night that was, something you'd never know about little man."

The boys eyebrows twitched at that, but kept on a smile that made the elder man narrow his own eyes.

"What you did? What did you do with her last night?"

Curiously questioning the older male, said male wore a dirty smirk on his face, a smirk that sent slight shivers into the boys spine, not liking it in the slightest.

"Lets just say that we've done something amazing together, something a snot nosed brat like you wouldn't understand. Then again, it isn't like you understand many things around you, is it Zenki?"

The newly named Zenki didn't even bat an eyelid at the threatening tone that the older boy was using towards him, deciding to keep his narrowed eyes directly in front of him on the boy, not showing anything other than discontent on his face.

"Hmmm, if that's the case, then why is that I'm being granted the chance to receive my Evil Pieces early then Diodora-nii-chan? If I was stupid like you claim, then I wouldn't be getting my Evil Pieces would I?"

He lied, only to annoy Diodora who shot a dark scowl back at him.

"Hah! That's such a lie, you're only saying that because you're jealous that I've got my Evil Pieces already and had my Queen made! And what a Queen she is, she's really good at many things, and used to be so pure as well~"

"Used to? What do you mean? She isn't now?"

Diodora merely smiled darkly towards the younger boy, and stood up, getting in his face.

"Lets just say I made her into a woman, something you'll never know the pleasures of I'm sure Zenki. No, I know for a fact that you'll never get to have such a chance at a woman, a woman that you'd never get. Even your own future peerage would be put off by you."

"If you say so Dildodora-nii-chan then it has to be true~ Though when I get my peerage, it wont be through fear like some people use to do things~ But some people can't help it, can they~? As some people are just kinda small minded and don't know what it means to have a peerage, do they Dildodora-nii?"

He sang back his reply, obviously referring to Diodora, which made the boy narrow his eyes in disgust.

"Stop calling me Dildodora!" The man snapped, and gathered demonic power within his hand, coating his hand with the blackish aura and thrusted it towards Zenki who regarded it with a smile, knowing that Diodora was going to do anything about it with it. And it was proven true when Diodora stopped short of his body. "One more word out of you, and you're gonna get this in your face, do you understand me!? I'm not having a little bastard like you call me names like you have!"

The boy appeared to be unfazed by what the older boy was saying, and gathered a demonic power within his hand as well, matching the intensity that the first one was using, even surpassing it slightly.

"Don't ever threaten me Diodora-nii-chan. If you even try, you're gonna find out what it's like to be humiliated. Oh, and losing your temper like that is gonna make you feel like you're going to cry out because how embarrassing it is to lose it in front of the servants, okay? Lets keep the anger on the down low for now, alright? You wouldn't want to look bad in front of the others, would you?"

He gestured behind him so Diodora took a quick look, seeing most of the staff looking out of the window towards them, but when noticing that the boy was watching them, they all turned away from him.

"Hmph, you'll never beat me. Even if you are Ajuka-nii-sama's son, you're nothing. I'm stronger than you are and I will always be above you because I'm older, stronger and wiser than you are. I'm even the heir to the almighty Astaroth clan, what are you?"

Zenki yawned a little as he listened to Diodora's longwinded speech, only smiling when he was done and answered the boy in front of him with an authority tone in the voice that he had.

"I'm the second heir you nitwit. You're only heir because you are Tou-chan's Otouto so the child of Ojii-sama and Obaa-sama. If something bad happened to you, then I would be the next ruler of the clan, or something like that. Besides, I don't want to be the clan heir, I've got enough to deal with when it is concerning that girl."

He shuddered, remembering a certain girl as Diodora scoffed at him.

"Haha, yeah. You've got that bitch haven't you? Well, good luck with that little boy. While you deal with the preteen girl, I will be having fun with my Queen, and what a Queen I have. She's the best, she really knows how to please her man."

Diodora smirked and walked away from the boy, defusing his demonic power at the same time. Though the boy knew that Diodora wasn't going to let it go that easily, and he was right as a few seconds later, Diodora quickly made an orb of demonic power in his hand, shooting that ball of demonic power at his back, not enough to kill, but to hurt all the same.

Using the demonic power he had in his hand, he shot it forward at the same time, hitting the orb of power that Diodora used, canceling one another's attacks out all together.

Diodora seeing his attack nullified by the younger boy, was understandably quite angry and made demonic power swirl within his hand, Zenki doing the same in case he was attacked by the enemy.

"That's quite the underhanded method, isn't it Dildodora-nii-chan? Attacking from behind, most would assume that you're a coward. But I know the real truth, don't I Nii-chan?"

Diodora scoffed at the boy, and put on a playful smile.

"Well, I was just testing what kind of power you had. Good reflexes are the best after all, for powerful Devils...but that's not you, sorry about that little boy. Next time, you might be able to stand in my league...well, that's a little of a stretch, isn't it?"

Zenki folded his arms as the demonic aura around him began swelling, showing how serious he was.

"If that's what you believe. But you're the one who shot me in the back, at least attempted too. What would've happened if Tou-chan finds out that you attacked me huh? Or even Ojii-sama and Obaa-sama huh? That wouldn't be the best for you, would it? Sorry but you really need to think things through in the future, it would be better if you did something like that instead of acting like an idiot like you're making yourself out to be."

"Nothing of this would come back on me. I'd merely say that I was playing around, that's all. And I'm sure that the servants would agree with me."

He gestured to the castle again, so Zenki shot a look that way, seeing some servants looking out of the window, Diodora's own personal servants from what the boy could remember.

"If that's what you say, but it isn't like you're going to be able to use that excuse forever, Dildodora-nii. Though I have to ask...did you really think I didn't see your little attack coming? I saw it before it entered your mind, my Dildodora-nii-chan. You couldn't even attempt anything against me without me already knowing what you're going to do. You cannot do anything that could surprise me as all of the moves you've thought of are moves I've thought of in my afterthoughts minutes earlier, but hey that's just me. You're just so predictable, you know?"

"Excuse me? Did you just call me predictable? You're actually calling me predictable all of a sudden you little brat?"

Something about what he said really irked Diodora like no other, it sounding like an insult to him...which it was.

"Hmmmm, I believe that I did. You get worked up easily, and use tricks to attack someone from behind when you think they don't notice, or you play nice nice with people to gain their favour. Well, it doesn't work with me."

Diodora narrowed his eyes dangerously, as the younger boy wore a innocent smile on his face which pissed off Diodora even more, but something within him allowed himself to hold it back, and just looked on with slight annoyance in his eyes.

"Hmph, I'm not playing your stupid little games today. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and 'play' with my new Queen for awhile. Hahahahaha~ Enjoy your kiddy games while you can Zenki~"

With a dirty laugh, Diodora left and allowed the boy to finally be alone with his thoughts, though not many occupied his mind at this moment in time, besides what happened to the elders Queen, though he knew that he couldn't do much about it even if he wanted too.

"What a pathetic little person he is. I feel sorry for his Queen...poor girl."

Shaking his head, he was about to do something else, but then he saw that a maid was slowly but surely coming towards him so he leaned closer with faux interested eyes, though guessed what she was going to say before she said anything about it.

"Ouji-sama, you've got a guest within the castle that wishes to see you immediately."

He rolled his eyes, guessing that it was that, but wondered who it was, wishing that it wasn't a certain girl, a girl that kinda annoyed him, though wouldn't say it to her face as she would become more pissed than ever.

"Oh? Who is it? I wasn't expecting anyone today. It is Ria-tan? Or is it So-tan? Or maybe it is Seeky-tan? I don't think it would Ravel-tan? It couldn't be Sai-tan could it? I doubt that it would be Sera-tan as she should be busy being a Maou and all, which means if she is skipping again then somehow it is going to be my fault though I don't know how that is. Ooh, there's so many possibilities but I don't know which one is the right one. So tell me maid-san, which is the one that I am seeking the most?"

The maid sweatdropped a little at the eagerness of the boys eyes, but kept her professional face to a full, answering the boy immediately.

"It is the former of those choices. Lady Rias Gremory-sama would like to meet with you. She said that she has important news. And she has a guest with her, though I do not know who that is."

The maid explained to the boy, as said boy had a curious brow raised at the opportunity at meeting someone new.

"Oh? If it is Ria-tan then I suppose that I could take some time out to meet with her. Yeah, I guess it can't be helped if it is Ria-tan and with a guest as well? That makes it slightly more interesting than the usual stuff. She's gonna make me see her one way or another. So please take me to her then."

The maid bowed her head respectfully towards the young boy, said boy giving a small smile as a response.

"Of course Ouji-sama. Oh, after your meeting with Rias-sama, Ajuka-sama would also like to converse with you about something important. And after Ajuka-sama, you have your Devil lessons, then after that you have to attend a ceremony and then before the time of eve, you have to converse with Serafall-sama who wishes to have 'Zenki-tan cuddle times!' in her own words so she can relieve stress and then after that, you have to take a bath with Serafall-sama to continue said cuddle times while she washes you for...reasons unknown to myself, though Serafall-sama would know why she does that. Then it would be bedtime after that. Of course meals would be provided during the course of the day."

As he listened to what he had to do today, he almost wished that Diodora had done something so he could have an excuse as to not do it all but at the same time, he knew that he had to do it, so he couldn't complain as he had many things that he needed to prove.

"Geez, one thing after another isn't it? Seems like my day is busier than I thought it was going to be. Alright then, lets go to Ria-tan first and see what she wants. I hope she isn't going to tell me about the time the camels attacked her again."

He finished with a small laugh, remembering what happened with the camels, finding it quite funny.

The maid nodded her head in agreement, and led the boy into the castle who decided to skip next to her, as she walked in a calm manner, baffled on how he seemed to be depressed and now happy, flipping the switch so easily, but decided to not voice anything about it.

Along the way, many people bowed to him. Being Ajuka's child was quite the big deal in the Underworld. Many people had expectations of him, and he knew it as well, so that's why he tried his best, as he didn't want to fail his father, and also to piss off Diodora, which he liked doing frequently.

Once making it to the main hall of the castle, he saw a young girl standing there that appeared to be around a year or so older than he was that had long red hair, almost crimson if not crimson itself. For a young girl, she had already shown signs of a growing bust under her shirt that she wore.

"Zenki! I'm so glad you're here!" The girl cheered and went to tackle him into a hug, but he side stepped not wanting to experience a death hug today, the girl rushing past him and banging her body on the wall. "Owww, what did you do that for? I was only gonna give you a hug, meanie. It isn't like I was gonna put you in the hospital like last time."

The girl complained and rubbed her forehead gently, a red mark appearing there as Zenki could only grimace, remembering what happened last time with Rias and her infamous hugs, not wanting that to happen to him again.

Zenki then regarded the girl with a kind smile, running a hand through his green locks.

"Ah, Ria-tan. You seem to be spirited as always. Has something happened already this early? Don't tell me that your parents let you near those camels again?" He said with a laugh, seeing the newly named Rias flinching, Zenki stifling a laugh once seeing it. "So, what are you doing here anyway?"

Rias put her hands to her hips, and smiled enchantingly.

"Well, I've just met a lovely person...well, I met her a few days ago now, but I've been busy so I couldn't come here. Actually, she came from the human world and was being attacked, but myself and my Otou-sama's Bishop saved this girl, and possibly, she could be joining my peerage in the future as well. Actually, she is going to join my peerage, it being set in stone now since that's what the agreement was, to stand by me always in exchange for her release. It was...a good thing that we did, though adjustments are quite hard as well."

"Seems a little convenient but okay...however, where is this girl? I presume that she was here since you are gonna show me her, but I don't see anyone...all I see is you and that's it. And of course the maid-san who disappeared at that moment hehehe~"

He sweatdropped when he saw Rias' eyes open wide, looking around for the girl that she wanted to show him.

"Ooh damn it, where has she gone now? She was here a minute ago, I swear that she was. She keeps disappearing and hiding from me. I'm sure she's naturally a tease. She even commented that I had blood hair the other day and that I got it from victims of my past, staining my hair in the coldness of steel blood."

That caused a small laugh to escape the boys lips, but one harsh look from Rias silenced him all together, knowing better than to take on someone like Rias when she was angry.

"Okay, well she couldn't have gotten..." His eyes then caught something, a girl peaking out from behind a pillar. "...Never mind, I believe that I have found her for you Ria-tan. She seems to be quite nervous. Maybe she thinks that I am quite scary."

"Huh? Where?" Zenki sweatdropped and pointed towards the area that the girl was. Once Rias caught sight of her, she sighed then adopted a smile. "Yup surely enough, there she is. Good eye Zenki." She walked over to the girl and casually dragged her from her hiding place. "This is Himejima Akeno. She's been through some tough times lately so please be nice to her."

As Rias introduced her, Zenki took in the appearance of the girl herself. From what he could tell, she was around the same age as Rias herself, and even seemed to have slightly bigger breasts than the redheaded girl. Her long black hair was tied up into a long ponytail that touched the ground, her violet eyes hiding a deep sadness that plagued her, but as to what that was...Zenki didn't know and wasn't going to ask, respecting her personal space, though being who he was, he was naturally curious.

"Hehe, as if I would be anything other than nice. What do you take me for?" He quipped to the girl who stuck out her tongue, then his eyes went to the newly named Akeno. "So, good day to you Himejima-san...I take it you're Japanese since your name sounds like it. Am I wrong?"

Akeno gently shook her head in refusal to what he had said.

"No...you aren't wrong. It's just...eeh, it's kinda confusing in the Underworld. It's not a place I've been before..."

"Well humans don't come here often, or much at all if I recall so it is going to be strange for awhile, but you've got good Devils around you. The Gremory are known to be affectionate with their servants and whatnot, so I wouldn't worry much about it if I was you. And if you don't like Ria-tan, then you should come to me. I'm nice enough. I'd certainly take a cute girl on in my future peerage if they asked kindly enough~ And you seem to have a good flow of power."

Akeno, hearing that, naturally developed a teasing face, her eyes lighting up at the chance to tease.

"Ara ara, it seems that I've got a boy and a Rias after me? What's a girl to do?"

"Could you please not refer to me as a separate thing to a girl please?"

Rias pleaded, but they fell on deaf ears as Akeno inched closer and closer to Zenki.

"So, what are you gonna do to convince me to join your peerage? The deal was to stand beside Rias always, but that doesn't mean becoming apart of her peerage. I could always become apart of your peerage, and stand beside her as well, that wouldn't be such a bad deal, would it?"

Adding a sensual lick to her lips, something Zenki wasn't expecting from a girl her age, his face turned slightly red. Rias to the side had a slightly jealous look in her eyes, seeing how they were clicking together much easier than she and he ever did before.

"I...I see, so you're that type of girl then? Ria-tan surely has some interesting times without me, gaining people like you." His eyes dragged down her body, then he put his own hands together, adopting an innocent face. "But it has to be wrong for us to become servant and Master. I'm sure Ria-tan would be displeased if I took her precious new servant away."

"Ara ara, it doesn't matter that much. Rias will find another servant in time. I'd much prefer a male King than a female one."

"Akeno!" Chided Rias with an annoyed face. "Y-You can't suddenly say things like that, can you?"

Akeno cast her eyes towards Rias and winked to the frustrations of the young scarlet haired beauty.

"Actually, it wouldn't be so bad, would it? Isn't he your friend Rias?"

Asking that straight out, Rias' face turned a little red.

"W-Well...of course, but that doesn't mean you're going to be able to just suddenly join his future peerage...he wont gain Evil Pieces before me..."

"So? I don't mind waiting, if it is for someone wonderfully cute." Akeno's violet orbs then darted towards the boy as he wore a smile. "Hmmmm, you are quite cute. Is this the Devils looks that take in the human prey? I've heard that Devils appear to be handsome, cute, or downright sexy to lure in their prey. Is that what's happening to me?"

Though Akeno wasn't really asking a question, Zenki decided to answer it anyway.

"Hehe, I'm not sure if that's what's happening but it is something between us, isn't there? Can't you feel it, the connection we have? We might've just met, but I feel like we're meant to be..." Akeno leaned in, wondering what he was going to say, only for him to wink and pull away. "...just friends."

Akeno was floored with a face fault as Rias laughed.

"Hehehe, I should've known that Zenki would do something like that~"

Akeno quickly recovered and focused her eyes onto the boy.

"The teasing is strong in this one~"

She joked with the lad, gaining a tick mark from Rias as she saw it bring a smile to the boys face.

"It's really wonderfully refreshing to speak with you like this. It's been awhile since I made a new friend. It is something of a personal victory to me, I believe." He stated, then changed the subject quickly. "Either way, since you're gonna be Ria-tans new peerage member when she gets her Evil Pieces, it is going to be quite interesting to see what kind of piece you're gonna be. Though you do seem to be quite strong for your age, don't you?"

"She's gonna be my Queen! That's what was said anyway, and I think that Akeno would be a good Queen to have as well. She seems to have the qualities that I'm looking for in a Queen, it is going to be quite interesting to see what comes into play in the future. Though just to state, she's going to be my Queen, not yours."

Rias chimed in and smiled towards the pair of them as Akeno regarded her with annoyance in her stare.

Zenki regarded Akeno with a polite gaze within his eyes, and extended his hand.

"Handshake? Or bow? Japanese people unusually bow, don't they? Just ask the resident Japanophile Ria-tan."

"Did you just call me the resident pedophile!? I'm not even a pedophile!"

Rias raged, hearing what he said to be the wrong thing, as Akeno giggled at the antics of Rias, Zenki shaking his head adamantly.

"Of course I wasn't calling you that. As far as I'm aware, you don't go around touching children so calling you a pedophile would be wrong. Actually, can a child herself be called a pedophile? I suppose that if you were to actually engage in naughty stuff with younger children...anyway, I digress. As I was saying. I said Japanophile. It means a love of Japan, its history and people as well. You're always talking about Japan and Japanese stuff, so I thought that I would call you that."

"Oh...yeah, I guess that I am that huh." Rias felt embarrassed and slunk away slightly. "Japanese people usually bow to other people in times like this, though hand shakes are also acceptable."

She informed the pair (more like Zenki than Akeno herself who sweatdropped at Rias) with Zenki nodding and bowing his head.

"Then as Ria-tans Queen, I hope that we can get along. I also met Sona-tans Queen the other day. She was a nice girl, though she did keep giving me weird looks. So lets be friends. I haven't fully introduced myself have I? The names Zenki Astaroth, second heir of the Astaroth clan behind Dildo...I mean Diodora." He thought it would be bad to badmouth his family to someone he didn't know so withheld what he thought about Diodora, and politely said his name. "I hope that we can get along from now on Himejima-san. Since you're Japanese, using such words is fine, isn't it?"

Akeno blinked for a few seconds, before adopting a small smile on her face and bowed her head.

"I see. Yes, let us be friends Zenki-sama."

"Huh? What's with the 'sama' all of a sudden? That's a little...no, that's a lot formal for someone like me. In fact, I find that kind of talk to be weird when it comes from people my own age, especially that damn Ravel-tan who always makes it a point to say it to me for no reason at all. She's always being formal like that though I don't know why."

Asked the boy to the suddenly flabbergasted girl who's eyes blinked rapidly as Rias stifled a small laugh coming from her lips.

"But, aren't you on the same place as Rias? Socially I mean."

"Even if I am. You causally call Ria-tan 'Rias' so why call me Zenki-sama? It doesn't make sense to my ears. If ya wanna call me something, then just call me Zenki...or even Zenki-tan! That would be cool!"

The announcement that he made gave her a slight shock, not expecting a Devil that wasn't a Gremory to casually speak to her as if she was just one of them as right now, she wasn't one of them.

"What does make sense to your ears?"

Rias had to ask it, seeing it as a perfect opportunity to have a small joke with the green haired boy. Said boy licked his lips, shrugging his shoulders at the same time.

"Only things that I want to make sense to my ears, that's what. Like people killing cats, that doesn't make sense to my ears. Why hurt a little pussy like that? It is quite mean..." Rias laughed when he used the word 'pussy', taking it in a completely different direction as the boy shook his face at her. "Ooh God, you're so weird sometimes Ria-tan. Laughing at things like that. How childish~"

Rias' face turned as red as her hair as she faced away with embarrassment, Akeno looking on with slightly teasing eyes, seeing how she would be able to use this later to her advantage.

"W-Well...I thought that it sounded funny at least. I thought that it would be fun to laugh...uu, now I feel embarrassed. Thanks for that by the way, you've made me feel embarrassed."

"That's what I'm here for Ria-tan~"

Akeno watched the discussion that happened between the pair of them, and could see how close they were. Despite how they talked, which sounded like that didn't get along, it looked to be the opposite to the black haired girl.

His eyes then cast back to said black haired girl, who smiled.

"Ara ara, so you're just like Rias then? If that's the case, I can't simply call you Zenki now, can I? How about if I called you...Zen-kun? You can call me Akeno~ Akeno-chan if you're really gonna go the Japanese route."

"Zen-kun huh." He parroted back to the girl, nodding his head in agreement. "I don't see why not. Yeah. Call me that from now on Akeno-chan~"

Akeno adopted a teasing face, something that Rias didn't like to see, for reasons even she didn't know, but she couldn't say anything else about it as the boy himself smiled at her, Akeno herself leaning forward.

"Ara, you suddenly showed such a different side to you Zen-kun, suddenly calling me something like that. Even if a lady suggests it, you should still see what's going to happen in the future."

"Hmmm, that doesn't make much sense to my ears, but okay. If that's what you say Akeno-chan. Either way Akeno-chan, I think you're a kind girl, and a girl like that should be near Ria-tan a lot. She's usually getting into trouble. Oh, stay away from the camels as well~"

"Y-You promised you wouldn't-"

"I never said anything about why." He cut off the shaking redhead and then waved a hand through his hair. "But seriously Akeno-chan, keep her away from camels, she might start crying and other things like that. It becomes quite scary actually."

Rias adopted a pout as Akeno's eyebrow turned to questioning.

"I've been hearing this for awhile now. Rias, why don't you like-"

"I-It's nothing to be concerned about!" Rias quickly defused the situation, or attempted to at least. "I-It's just something from ages ago. It doesn't matter now though, you know?"

"If you say so." Akeno was tempted to laugh a little, as it was becoming more clear to her why Rias didn't like camels, but decided that she couldn't say anything about it yet. "So, what is the relationship between you and Rias then, Zen-kun?"

"We are...hmmm, friends I suppose."

He mumbled out to Rias who's mouth opened wide with shock.

"You suppose? What in the hell does that mean? Since when have we been anything other than that?"

Rias gave him a pout and sharp eyes, awaiting the answer from his lips. He didn't know of what answer she wanted, merely sighing in some regret.

"It wasn't supposed to be a bad thing. I was just saying that it was something I don't think about often. When I say 'suppose' it just means that's what I think on the matter. It isn't like I was being rude to you, you know?"

It was at that time the maid that had told Zenki of the events before came back to him and whispered in his ear, which he nodded at, seeing what she was saying and how he would have to leave.

With that acknowledged, he faced that pair of girls, and bowed his head apologetically.

"I'm sorry, it seems that Tou-chan wants to speak with me urgently. Please excuse me. Nice to meet you Akeno-chan, lets talk again another time when time allows itself to appear in my life...which recently hasn't happened."

Akeno smiled beautifully, nodding her head a single time, mumbling "Goodbye for now." as Rias also bowed her head in acknowledgement with what he had to deal with, her being in a similar boat.

"Yes of course. Akeno and I should get back anyway. We've got things to discuss and Akeno needs to begin her lessons anyway. Until next time Zenki."

"Until next time."

With that, he bowed his head and left together with the maid, leaving behind Rias and Akeno. Once they were far enough away from them, Akeno turned her violet eyes towards the blue-green eyed girl and decided to give her a little bit of a teasing.

"Ara ara, so Rias. What is your true relationship with him anyway? It seems that you're closer than the usual childhood friendship?"

Akeno teased, implying a love between the two which Rias feverishly denied again and again by shaking her head in rejection, making sure that the black haired girl saw that she wasn't thinking about such things.

"N-Nothing beyond what you're implying. Just mere friendship. Myself, Sona and Zenki there have been friends for years now. Though he's one year my junior, he's quite talented and also the son of the current Beelzebub so he's talented from being such a person."

At that, Akeno gasped, and looked at the disappearing form of Zenki.

"H-He's the son of the current Beelzebub-sama? But they have different names...wait you mentioned that children of the Maou wont inherit the title of their parents and have the ones which clan they belonged too."

"That's right. Zenki there is actually quite nice like a Gremory, though isn't a Gremory himself. He's quite nice and kind as well. Unlike some Devils I could mention." She said bitterly at the end, remembering a certain Devil which she didn't like, but then stopped and adopted a smile. "I wouldn't worry about it though Akeno. Still call him whatever you want. He's like me, we don't do formal with people close to us."

Akeno looked longingly down the corridor, the boy disappearing out of sight.

"So, what is this exactly Tou-chan?" Zenki began, standing in an office, a man that looked remarkably like Zenki sat before him though he was older than he was. "Why did you call me here? Though it isn't like I mind it that much to begin with..."

"Yes, how are you my son? You seem to be doing well?"

Zenki nodded, thought about Diodora who annoyed him, adopting a slight pout at the fact, then sighing when he saw that his father looked at him with expectation in his eyes.

"Y-Yes, I'm doing quite well. I met Ria-tans future Queen just before, she was nice. But I don't understand something Tou-chan. Why did you call me here? I thought that you were gonna be busy today?"

Ajuka in front of him gently shook his head, and went onto explain.

"You see, I was busy, but that was because I was busy dealing with a certain incident."

"Incident? What incident?"

"Yes...this has been most troublesome, and what I say doesn't leave this room, is that clear?" Zenki could only nod at what the man said. Seeing that, relief washed over the man and he went onto explain to his son. "Yes, recently there has been a...a problem, and as a result, this girl has been brought up into a lot of trouble."

"You mean because she's a Devil?"

He guessed, but Ajuka shook his head, then nodded his head once.

"No, it isn't the fact that she's a Devil. It is because this girl has been...she killed the previous caretaker that she had."

That only confused Zenki more as his eyes cast upwards in slight doubt.

"They killed...she killed her previous, Master...caretaker? Why did she do that?"

"Circumstances made her take action. However, people believe that she has gone mad with power, when that isn't the case. As you know, I have certain...ways to find if someone is lying, and I have found out that this girl really did do her actions for the right reasons, even if the actions themselves were...something that shouldn't be done. But this girl was caught, she made a mistake, and the old Devils wished her death. I myself, among others found out that she isn't as bad as she is made out to be, and it would be a waste to get rid of the power that sleeps within her body, so that's why I thought of you my son."

"Though of...me?"

Ajuka nodded his head, smiling fondly at his pride and joy.

"You're my son, so I place such trust in you. I know that you can control this kind of power, as I will be watching over her as well, but while I can control the power, I cannot open her heart, which is why I wish for you to be the person that takes care of this girl."

Zenki watched as his father had the door opened behind him.

Casting his eyes behind him, he saw a girl with long silky black hair, and a pair of cat ears poking out of the top of her head, two tails behind her swaying around unjustly, unrestrained which the girl seemed to prefer. The clothes she worn were in tatters, barely hanging off her frame as wounds decorated her body, the thing Zenki noticing the most was her rather large breasts, and since he guessed she wasn't that much older than he was, he was quite impressed. Her golden eyes met his own eyes and Zenki immediately saw something within them that he hadn't seen before. And that was...hostility and something else that he didn't know what, but could tell was something bad regardless.

The girl herself looked directly at Zenki, and instantly, the hostility in her eyes were shot directly towards him, which made him feel uncomfortable, but he couldn't say anything about it.

"Come over here girl."

The girl walked over without complaint towards Ajuka, though she showed annoyed eyes towards the Maou, said Maou smiling slightly at her. Once the girl made it towards him, his eyes set onto his son once again, who couldn't take his eyes off the girl.

"Tou-chan, what happened to her? Was she attacked?"

"Yes, but she held her own, using a power that defeated the people attacking her, though she repelled them, it was quite difficult for her, and she couldn't do it all herself. Eventually, she would've died if they continued coming for her. But it was fortunate that we were able to find her. She had taken refuge inside of a territory of mine so I decided to save the girls life."

His eyes widened slightly at what his father expressed to him, trying to take in what was going on.

"Oh...that's very kind of you Tou-chan. But you said that she had the power of a-"

"It is rude, speaking about someone when they are in the room nyaa." The girl voiced her opinion, glaring at the boy who flinched under the gaze. "You mean for my personal being to be in the care of this child? Why would this child be up to such a task?"

Zenki blinked in surprise with what she had said rudely, as Ajuka wore a small smile on his face, watching the girls reactions.

"C-Child?" Zenki felt offended, as the girl appeared to be the same age as he is. "E-Excuse me but I..." His mind then got to working, and heard what she said, so his eyes looked towards his father. "Tou-chan, what does this girl mean by 'be in the care of this child' exactly? Are you suggesting that I look after her personally?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying. Did I forget to mention that she's a very rare species of Nekomata, called Nekoshou? She's a very rare girl, and she is one of the last of her race, it would be a shame if she disappeared from this world, or became a rouge Devil, so I have decided to take a chance with her, and place her under your care."

That brought surprise towards the boys eyes, his eyes quickly casting towards the girls own again, a sense of wonder in his eyes.

"So she's the Nekomata I have been hearing about recently, I thought that it was just a rumour, but here she is. Wow, this is amazing, I thought that I would never see such a species, I have always liked cats. She seems...to be quite powerful from what I can tell." He noted, then moved closer. "So, what is your name exactly? I'm Zenki Astaroth, second heir to the clan."

The girl didn't reply for awhile, merely giving him a harsh glare, but eventually she opened her mouth and gave him a name.

"...Kuroka...nyaa.."

As soon as the words left her lips, he could see why his father had said to not say anything outside of the room.

"S-So, you're really that dangerous criminal, I remember the name now, you were said to be truly bad, but you don't seem so bad to me."

"Because of the name, and the relationship with the current government of Devils, who have a bad relationship with the Old Maou Faction, and especially the Great King Family would also want this being to be erased from existence. Or even imprisoned for what happened with her former Master. However, I believed that it would be a useless waste to do something like that, so it has taken much time and hard work, and I mean hard work, with backing of the three other Maou-sama's and various important people, we were finally able to convince them that having Kuroka here with us would be a good thing for the Devils Faction, and the actions of the previous generation shouldn't be burdening the children of said previous generation. She's a valuable existence, an existence that is so rare that it has been unheard of. That's why, I thought of you my son."

"E-Eh? Why me? Would I have done for this girl? She doesn't seem to like me that much and sh-she's a known killer...even if you say that she's got a good reason, I don't know what else to say Tou-chan."

It didn't make sense to him as to why they'd, or at least Ajuka himself, would trust him with such a valuable existence. Even Kuroka was confused why a Maou would trust a boy of his age to look after her, not that she needed it, that's how life was going to be for her now, until she could do something about it.

"Because you're my son of course. The others agreed with me. Originally, Kuroka there was going to be sent to the Bael territory, but after much convincing, it was decided that Kuroka would be placed with you. In the end, if anyone can do something with Kuroka there, then it is going to be you my boy. I can't think of anyone else other than you. You're going to do spectacular things, and I know that if anyone can do anything, then it is you. Also, since this is an important task, the rest of your duties today and for the next few days if that's okay with you? Also, since the news of Kuroka is a sour subject right now, it is best to keep this little arrangement quiet, at least for a few days."

Zenki blinked a couple of times and was happy that he wouldn't have to do anything that he didn't want to do with the various things in his life.

"Ooh I see, if that's the case then I would certainly try my best. It seems that because of who she is, Kuroka-san there has had a hard time. Maybe if I could do something to help her then..."

Ajuka smiled at that, liking in what he said very much.

"Exactly. If I place my trust in you, I will be satisfied. Just work your charm on her. Like I did with your Okaa-san~"

He smiled sheepishly, not wanting to hear anything sexual with his mother from his father, then walked over towards Kuroka.

"Kuroka-san...eeh, maybe we should get your wounds treated. I-I mean, I could embrace you while naked to share my demonic power...though it works easier if you're apart of my family, it would still work, but it might take a little longer than..."

Kuroka regarded the boy with a slight curious and defiant gaze before her cheeks turned the ever so slightly tinge of red at what she believed he was suggesting, him being unaware of what he said could be mistaken for a wrong move.

"Did you just ask me to get naked with you? What kind of pervert are you? I'm not stripping for you. Tch, so this is what Devils of the Astaroth clan are like, is it? I can't say that I'm impressed nyaan. And people say that I am vulgar."

"N-No! It was to heal your wounds, I swear!" He quickly got out, to the frustrations of Kuroka herself, though she was bemused. "C-Can we please get you treated? I don't want you to be in pain anymore. A-And if the naked thing doesn't work, I will call a doctor for you."

"I tried offering her one, but she didn't want one, saying that she didn't want our help as much as she possibly could, only accepting this because it would give her freedom from whatever life she had before."

Ajuka informed Zenki who looked at Kuroka with a soft gaze in his eyes.

"Come on Kuroka-san, allow me to help you. Since you've been through an ordeal, you should rely on the kindness of people like us. We might be Devils, but we aren't bad people. You can trust me. And if you can't, then you can shoot me in the back or something. I'm quite the trustworthy guy, you know?"

Kuroka didn't move for a few seconds, watching him and studying him, trying to work out why he was being kind to her, something that she rarely, if ever got before. But when she couldn't see anything other than him trying to be kind, she sighed in resignation.

"Fine, I will allow you to address these wounds because I am a nice girl nyaan." She began, but then moved closer so she was in his face. "And if you ever suggest getting naked again with me without even promising me children, then you're going to regret it, do you understand me little boy? I'm not some cheap woman that takes her clothes off for some Devil rich boy like you, you get me? I want children, strong dna, get me boy nyaan?"

That sent fear into his being, the only thing he could do was give a single nod.

"O-Okay, whatever you say Kuroka-san. I-I didn't think you were, and if I implied it then I am deeply sorry and would never hurt you or anything because you're Kuroka-san and you're-"

"You ramble too much." She deadpanned, earning a cry from Zenki. But then she walked towards the door, and cocked her head back. "Come on, I don't have all day Devil rich boy nyaan."

"Z-Zenki, that's my name..."

"Zenki then. Come quickly."

Nodding, he rushed towards her side, and both walked together out of the office with Ajuka stroking his chin in thought, his eyes lifting ever so slightly. He then looked down at his desk and sighed.

"I'm sure that you can do it, my boy. Make sure that she is looked after from now on and doesn't become a problem in the future. If anyone can do it, then it is going to be you my son."

With those thoughts, Ajuka got back to doing some paper work.

"So, Zenki. Lets get a few things straight." Kuroka began, walking side by side with Zenki down a long corridor. "You and I, are stuck with one another. You don't like me, and I don't like you, but since this is the only way I'm going to survive, that's how it is going to be."

"You don't like me? Well I like you."

Kuroka blinked in shock at what he said, and then shook her head in mild frustration.

"Ugh, whatever you say. But I'm saying that I'm here because I have to be. If it wasn't for that, then I wouldn't be here with you. To me at least, you don't seem so bad, however if you're anything like my...that's none of your business. I don't have to explain anything to you nyaan."

Zenki cocked his head to the side in mild confusion, then smiled bewitchingly.

"No worries Kuroka-san, I know that you don't want to be with me. But that doesn't mean I'm still not gonna be your friend or anything. Did you know that, Kuroka-san? We're friends now, even if you don't see it."

Kuroka's mind couldn't comprehend why he was being nice to her. Nothing about him made much sense to her, but she could at least see that he wasn't that bad of a person, so decided to at least listen to what he would say...though she was by no means going to follow anything that he said.

"If you say so. Now, find me some clothes."

She ordered him with a stale glare for him.

"Y-Yes Kuroka-san. I'll get you some clothes, and then I will go and...ehehe, we need to get you treated for your wounds. By the way, if it isn't too much of me to ask, how did you come to find yourself within Tou-chan's..."

"That's none of your business." Kuroka responded flatly. "You don't have a right to ask me such things. I've not asked you anything, so don't even ask me anything about my past nyaan. It hasn't gotten anything to do with you nyan. I have to be here with you, you don't need to know about me. They won't even let me see...that's not your business."

Zenki bowed his head apologetically towards her, which baffled the girl slightly.

"I'm sorry. You're right Kuroka-san. I didn't mean to pry, it isn't anything of my business to deal with. I also want to say that even though you're in my care, you can basically do whatever you want, as long as it isn't bad that is."

Kuroka was taken back by what he said to her, unable to understand why he was being nice to her, and even apologize to her.

"I...don't get it, why did you apologize to me? No one has ever apologized to me before nyaaa."

"Really...to think that no one has ever said sorry to her before...weird. That sounds pretty bad..." He thought with a sad sigh escaping his lips. "Because I intended to pry into your past. To make up for it, you can ask me anything you want and I will answer it without worry."

Kuroka thought about what he said, and she did have one question that came to her mind so since he gave her the go ahead (not that she'd need it anyway) she decided to ask him straight out.

"Alright then. If Ajuka left me to you, I want to know why. Are you special in someway? Can you help me repopulate my race? Are you really the same age as I am right now? Or are you something different as well?"

"I'm a Devil of what appears to be the same age as you are, though you seem a little older than me. I don't know why Tou-chan believes that I can help you. If it is r-repopulating your race then I can help you find a suitable partner. But as for the real reason why he thinks that I am someone who is a good person for you to have as a...whatever, then I can't answer that. But Kuroka-san, I'm your friend now. Whatever happened in the past, wont matter when you're with me. I want to know your past in the future, but only when you're really ready to tell me about it. Until then, I will do whatever to make your life comfortable as it possibly can be."

Again, shock overcame Kuroka, and she didn't know how to respond. She never had anything like this happen to her before, and didn't know what to do with it, or him either.

As they walked together, Kuroka's eyes slowly turned towards his body, going down inch by inch, taking in his form. Down his back, she took note of the colour of his hair, and the high class clothes. But when her eyes reached the hip area of his body, her eyes lingered there, unable to move them off whatsoever.

"Kuroka-san, when you get fixed up, what is it that you want to eat?" He questioned, but didn't get an answer which he thought was odd, so decided to do it again. "Kuroka-san, food~? You do eat, don't you?"

Again he questioned the girl, but once again he didn't say anything about it.

As if her gaze was transfixed on a certain area of his body, she had completely forgotten that she was walking with him, as he called out to her a couple of times, for her to not respond in the slightest.

He finally decided to turn his eyes towards the area that she was in, and saw her eyes looking at his hip area.

"Kuroka-san, are you checking me out?"

Kuroka didn't answer, and bent down, placing a hand on his butt, and the other on his crotch, his eyes bulging when she groped him from both sides, Kuroka's eyes turning mischievous, Zenki's face burning red with embarrassment, a muffled moan barely escaping his mouth as she gropes his frontal area without a care in the world from Kuroka.

"Hmmm, for a...an eleven year old, I'd guess, you seem to be endowed here, it can only grow in the future nyan. And what's this? Ooh, tight ass, I like it nyan~ Perhaps if you're a good boy, I will reward you with a little sex if you truly intend to be nice to me nyan."

"S-Sex!?"

Kuroka meowed sensually as a response, and rubbed her head against his stomach, Zenki's bottom lip quivering at the feel of her locks brushing his stomach, sniffing the enticing aroma that she naturally let out, it being a total mind blowing experience for the eleven year old.

"Nyaaaaaaa~ This is a good stomach~ And you seem fun to tease, if ya really wanna please me boy, then you're gonna have to moan for me now~"

Kuroka couldn't help it, she simply liked teasing him. Just something about him was fun to tease, wanting to push the boundaries even more than she usually could.

They didn't get the chance to spend much time together Diodora came walking up to the pair, smirking devilishly towards the pair. Kuroka wore an indifferent face while standing up as Zenki smiled at the boy, though anyone could tell that it was a fake smile he used.

"Well well well, it seems that Zenki has finally found a girlfriend. Though I didn't know that you were into the kind of dirty girls like that. And ooh, she's a kitty cat? Dirty pussy comes to my mind right now. But it does suit your taste, poor, ugly and desperate. How much are you paying her for it?"

"You cheeky bastard nyan. You cannot-"

Kuroka went to hit the guy for insulting her...

At the last second, before she was going to do anything, Zenki smirked at the boy, which in turn caused a cast of eyes to be set on him.

"So, all you can do is insult someone you don't know Dildodora the Asshole explorer." Kuroka laughed loudly while meowing adorably as Diodora had an aura around his body. "And unlike you, I wouldn't judge my choice of girls. I heard the rumours of the fact that surround the circumstances of your Queen. If I didn't know any better, then I would say you forced the young girl to become your Queen."

"The rumours are all false." Diodora denied the accusation with a smirk. "And even if they were true, people like you cannot get into my business and think you can get away with it. If you even breathe a word of anything about what you believe to be true, then you're going to regret it instantly."

Threatening him with a killing intent that could bring most to their knees, Kuroka scoffed at the killing intent, and Zenki merely smiled a dangerous smile towards him, not feeling threatened in the slightest, Kuroka looking between the two and was able to sense that Zenki had the higher level of power that Diodora didn't possess, so she wasn't worried.

"Then try something, Dildodora. Or do you have some butts to explore? Either way, I don't have time for people like you, so either move or I will get you onto the ground you moron."

"That's it!"

Diodora threw a fist at Zenki, charged with demonic power. But before it could touch him, he ducked the blow, and did a palm strike to the chest of the boy, sending him across the hall, and crashing into a wall, something that mildly pleased Kuroka.

"That's what happens when you watch Sai-tan~"

"Heh, nyaa~"

He sang out to the ever growing rage bottling inside of Diodora, Kuroka snorting loudly.

"Use singsong with me will you? Then taste this!"

Diodora gathered the demonic power in his hand, and pointed it towards Zenki, sending it straight at the boy. Zenki dodged to the left, the power hitting the wall, and destroying it instantly.

Zenki gathered some in his hand as well, and shot it forth towards Diodora. The power became a bullet and hit the man in the chest, crashing him against the wall, shaking it considerably, but only leaving a minor wound on the boys body.

"Argh! What do you think you're doing!?"

He roared and stood up quickly. He then clicked his fingers and made bullets of demonic power to float around him. Zenki did the same, but the bullets he made were denser than the ones that Diodora made, something Kuroka took note of, and was slightly impressed with what the boy could do, considering Diodora was older than him.

"What did I say about it before Diodora-nii? You're just an annoying bug sometimes, aren't you?"

Diodora growled up at him and dispelled the bullets, knowing that his elder brother was nearby, and he couldn't take the chance to do anything wrong for the moment in time, Zenki following suit by dispelling his own demonic power.

"Don't think that the fame of being Nii-sama's son is going to save you. Eventually, you're going to fall by my hand. And no, this isn't a threat, it is a promise little boy. Just mark my words, one day, you're going to get it."

"Those words are marked into my brain Dildodora-nii-chan."

"Stop calling me that you bastard!"

Diodora erupted as even Kuroka cracked a smile onto her face, with Zenki downright laughing at him.

"I'm sorry, but if you're going to get that worked up over something like that...what does it say about you being a King. You're also a member of the Astaroth clan, you should learn to be more respectful in the future, you know?"

With those words from Zenki, Diodora felt extremely pissed off so he stood up and walked away from the boy and the girl in a huff, demonic power around him that if touched, it could lead to some complications in the future.

As he left, Kuroka walked closer to Zenki, and smirked.

"So, there is a little animosity between you and that Dildodora is there nyaaa? Seems to me that he's a little jealous of you."

"That's not even the half of it Kuroka-san. There's many reasons as to why that guy doesn't like me. One is due to the fact that Tou-chan spends more time doting on me than him. Another reason is because I'm...more popular than he is with the Underworld. Because I'm Tou-chan's son, it gives me...many expectations to live up to, and he doesn't like the fact that he isn't the fav Astaroth in the family."

"Hmph, sounds vaguely familiar."

The girl gave an offhanded comment that caught the interest of Zenki.

"It does?"

The boys question fell on depth ears as Kuroka walked forward.

"It doesn't matter. All that does is getting stronger children for the future of my race. If I'm stuck with you, I demand that you at least find me a suitable place to sleep, drink milk, sex dungeon maybe, and have suitable clothing as well."

"You are a very demanding person, you know that? And why would you need a sex dungeon?"

Zenki deadpanned, Kuroka doing the same right back at him.

"Demanding is fine with me if it gets me what I want, and there's plenty of reasons for a sex dungeon nyaaa." She explained, then turned her head back. "If you're going to be the one that cares for me now, you have to help me with my goal...no, the thing that I am going to make a reality nyaan."

"Whats that then? Since I'm supposed to help you, you have to at least tell me what's going on? Is it to do with the re population of your race?"

Kuroka narrowed her eyes and told him what her goal was after a pregnant pause.

"It's partly that. I want to make my race strong again nyaa. I can't stand it nyaa. My race was wiped out, and now we need strong dna to rebuild the Nekoshou race. But, maybe something more important than that, I wish to see my Imouto again. I haven't seen her in a while, and the damn Devils won't let me see her, thinking that I am going to corrupt her or some shit like that nyaa. I only want to see if she's fine nyaa. I did do it for her safety and all nyaaa."

At that moment, Zenki opened his eyes wide, and for the briefest of instances, he thought he saw a vulnerable side to the young raven haired girl, a side that showed how...strongly she was when speaking about her family, or at least part of it and how much rage she had within her when speaking about the extinction on her race, a rage like no other he had seen before, and instantly, he wished to help her with it.

"I...see. So it really is that important to you. Your Imouto is under the care of Devils, I presume?"

Kuroka nodded, surprisingly somberly.

"Maybe she might not want to see me again nyaa. She thinks that I abandoned her, or something like that nyaa. It wasn't intentional or anything, I just wanted to protect her. And before you get any funny ideas, I'm only telling you because I don't have a choice. I don't have anything else to say about it, I have to stay with you or I will have to die, which is pretty shit isn't it nyaaa? Save your Imouto, and you're condemned to a life where you have to follow around a Devil rich boy."

Kuroka expressed her true feelings to Zenki, even if it was a reluctant thing to do. She didn't like having to do it, but she didn't have a choice.

Zenki listened, and felt for Kuroka, and put a hand to his heart.

"Well, if that's how you feel about it, then I will have to help you see your Imouto again, won't I?"

"H-Huuuh? What do you mean nyaa?"

Kuroka was genuinely confused about it, she didn't think that Zenki was being quite serious...but then she saw the truthfulness in his eyes, the unwavering feeling that he was going to do something for her.

"I mean, if you're this serious, then I will have to help you. I don't know the full story, but you seem to really care for your Imouto, and if that's the case, then I will do everything in my power to help you. I might not hold much water on my own, but I will try and convince my Tou-chan to give you and your Imouto a greeting and being able to stand next to one another again. I will even try and have her come to live here, so you can be together, if that's what you want?"

At that moment, Kuroka was stunned beyond belief. She never expected that a Devil would be so kind to her, and she wanted to know if it was a ploy or not. She however didn't think it was. Just something about his face and demeanor showed that he wasn't lying at all.

"So, you'd actually do this for me nyaaa?"

"Yup, that's what I will do for you. So, what is your Imouto's name?"

"Shirone nyaa."

Kuroka answered immediately, Zenki nodding his head.

"I see, Shirone-san huh. Well, I will do all I can...say, Kuroka-san, have you ever considered becoming...I dunno, maybe apart of my future peerage?"

"Hmph, I don't feel like being a slave nyaa. Not again nyaaa."

She stated with a dead set of eyes. However, Zenki waved his hand as he used his other to point forward.

"It isn't like that at all with me. And I don't see you being my slave either. If anything, you'd make me your slave. Am I wrong with saying that Kuroka-san?"

"It isn't like you're wrong. But I have only just met you, I can't say that I want to completely become your servant...eeh, Devil piece, just yet. Even if I have to stay with you, Ajuka never said anything about becoming your peerage member nyaaa."

Zenki couldn't deny what she was saying, and merely smiled.

"Well, I won't get my pieces for a little while yet, so you don't have to decide anything yet. Maybe we could discuss it once I've gotten my pieces. Until then, I will try my best to make sure that your needs are met Kuroka-san. Tou-chan said that I should take care of you, and take care of you I shall. Do not worry about anything now, you don't have to worry about being in danger. I will protect you!"

Kuroka couldn't believe it. She thought he was mental, a nutter for even saying anything like he was. But the promises he was giving, sounded genuine and good to her ears. She liked the sound of his voice, and the beautiful words he spoke, and if he kept to his word, she'd consider actually liking him, as opposed to being stuck with him. For now, she was just going to go along with it, as she'd rather live in what luxury that he lived in, than what she could have gotten if she had continued running and somehow managed to get away.

"For now, just get me some clothes and have these wounds taken care of. I would also like a meal prepared then a bath as well nyaa. Milk, I want some of that as well nyaaa."

"Yup, aye aye Kuroka-san~"

Kuroka was in awe with how he agreed with her so fast, but she wasn't going to allow his opportunity to pass her by, deciding to take full advantage of it, as she never had anything like this before, and certainly never grew up with someone doing what she wished without worry.

With that, Kuroka and Zenki walked off together to speak about, many things and to show Kuroka...many things as well.

So, that's the end of the first chapter!

That's pretty much it for the prologue of the story. Zenki is the son of Ajuka, and has a rivalry with Diodora, which is quite understandable as to the reasons. For who the mother is...that will be held back for now hehe~ If it is a character within the series, or an oc will be kept to me for now.

This has been sat in my files for quite a while now (since when volume 19 of the LN was released and now we're on 22, so quite a while now), and I haven't done DXD in ages, and now I feel like the time is the put it on the site with me getting back into it from my long absence of it.

Most would question about my other fic's as well to do with this fandom and what I am going to do about them, so I will answer that now. I will be going over in the following weeks and months (depends how long I have to do it in a day, which varies from ten minutes to four hours), to bring them either up to standard, or do a rewrite of them if they are beyond salvaging as I know people have followed and favourite them and liked those classics, so look forward to seeing some of those classics you guys, and girls, might like to read in the following future with the same idea, but up to a higher standard.

For who's gonna be in his peerage, most can take a guess that Kuroka is going to be in it for various reasons, and will only follow his orders when she feels like it (for some comical effects), or when she knows it is serious. What piece she's going to be (in this story, she hasn't been reincarnated yet) is either a Mutated Bishop, or even his Queen, though I am leaning towards Mutated Bishop more.

And also, one person that Diodora is obsessed with is going to be in his peerage as well hehe, a certain blonde haired nun for future plot purposes, plus I really like her, so that's a part of the reason.

As for other peerage members...eeh, I have a few ideas, but I'd like to hear your opinions as well. I was thinking of maybe having Koneko as the Rook (Nekomata sisters together in the same peerage, I thought that would be a cool idea), and I have got a replacement for her on Rias' peerage if I decide to do it, so I will let you all decide for that, I am either way on the idea.

So let the people speak, I will begin posting peerage and harem members as of next chapter, and until next time!
