Chapter 7

next day

having woken up early the next morning Kaede spent the day idly walking about the city having gotten a text from Akeno that he had to be at the club room at 1:00pm with a suit, when he arrived he noted Rias was absent no doubt in the underworld preparing, Akeno was in a formal kimono, Koneko was in a small dress and Kiba a Tux. Kaede seeing this moved to the shower room "I'll get changed."

After 10 minutes of waiting the others were greeted by the sight of Kaede in a light grey single black lapel suit jacket with breast pocket, light Grey with black trim and buttons waist jacket with waist pocket, black dress shirt with white collar, vertical split half black and white tie, Slim fit light grey trouser and plain black leather slip on shoes.

Akeno then noticed his tie wasn't straight walked over to him and started to straighten it, they then waited in silence as everyone wasn't really keen on talking about anything since they were in low spirits anyway, but Kaede not that he cared had to ask, "So where's Asia?"

Akeno provided him with an answer "She's with Rias in the underworld helping her."

Kaede just nodded and sat in silence until Grayfia arrived "Please step inside the circle and I'll take you all to the engagement party." everyone nodded and moved into the circle. As he walked passed her he felt Grayfia slip a note into his hand, looking lazily out the corner of his eye he winked which she picked up and nodded subtlety to before they all disappeared and reappeared in the underworld Kaede as they were walking dropped back a bit from the others but stayed close enough that it was clear he was with them read the note 'If you want my sister Kaede you better be prepared to fight' finishing reading the note Kaede quickened his pace 'fight huh this'll be interesting.'

Walking into the hall with the others he was soon diverted to a table where he and the others would be sitting and surprisingly it was right next to three tables that had signs up reserved for the Maou and their peerages, one for the Gremory family and peerages and one for the Phoenix and their peerages. Walking over to the table he looked his usual self and spoke to the others "Hey you know while I'm not happy by the outcome of the rating game I have a feeling thing will work out so you guys if you will excuse me I'll be mingling and sampling the beverages and food on offer."

Akeno hearing that narrowed her eyes since she had seen him looking at something and hang back to begin with 'he knows something but what.'

Kiba nodded "I'm with Kaede I'll be doing the same seeing as though we have nothing better to do"

Koneko just sat and sipped at a glass of water while Akeno did the same.

Kaede meanwhile had just found out that the underworld was like America and you had to be 21 to have alcohol which totally blowed so instead he was given a fruit punch instead, while he was getting his drink he spied a certain blonde girl sitting alone asked for another.

Walking over to her Kaede stood in front of her ignoring some of the younger she devils who had seen him and started gushing over him looked at Ravel with his lazy countenance and held out one of the drinks "Peace offering."

Ravel hearing that looked up and blushed a little and accepted the drink and huffed "Fine but keep your lips to yourself this time."

Kaede for his part sat there and took a sip of his punch "I'll keep that in mind, how are you though."

Ravel still with her blush in place stuttered a little "I'm fine but a better question, are you alright I heard you and Onii-sama had quite the fight."

Kaede shrugged "body feels fine Greed my familiar uplifted a vial of Phoenix tears from your Queen and I used them to heal most of the damage it was mainly my stamina that took a battering one of the downsides of having this guy {BOOST!}" as he finished he summoned his boosted gear for emphasis garnering the attention of some devils who obviously recognised him from the rating game.

Sighing at the unwanted attention he placed his drink down and grabbed Ravels hand making her sputter a little and place her drink down just before Kaede dragged her to her feet and lead her to where some of the older devils were dancing like Ravels parents lord and lady Phoenix her brother Ruval and his wife, Lord and lady Gremory, Lord and lady Sitri and some others, making it there he stopped and held Ravel close.

Ravel being held by Kaede as they swayed to the music her hands having wrapped around his shoulders while her head was rested on his chest was blushing madly stuttered "What are you doing!"

Kaede smiled "dancing with a beautiful girl, just go with it Ravel-chan" he all but whispered the last part in her ear making her shiver a little and only nod into his chest as they continued dancing

not noticing the younger she devils gushing over the cute and romantic couple they made while Lady Phoenix watch with pride as her daughter danced with the boy she had seen show excellent fighting prowess, stealth and brains since she heard throughout the entire game Rias and her peerage call it his plan, resting her head on her husband's shoulder he looked at her slightly "Dear are you alright?"

Lady Phoenix nodded a little "Yes I'm but Ravel-chan is growing up" she then moved so she was facing away while her husband looked in the direction of Kaede and Ravel. "See dear?"

Lord Phoenix nodded and swivelled them back around but within the beat of the music "Yes I do that's the Pawn that caused a flicker of fear to pass across our sons face last night."

Kaede who was enjoying himself dancing with Ravel frowned when the music stopped but was surprised when he felt Ravel tap the back of his head looking down he saw she was looking up at him, they then started to inch closer and closer until their lips met in the middle, Kaede had closed his eyes and was enjoying the taste of strawberries, Ravel on the other hand was enjoying the kiss to had closed her eyes as well and was content with the taste of sugar on his.

they soon parted after a few seconds completely unaware of the ah overprotective elder brother being held back by his wife and the same with the father of said Phoenix girl. "Kaede what does this make us?"

Kaede wasn't quite sure "Don't know last time I had a girlfriend she killed me and I ended as a devil, but that being said I also harbour the same feelings I hold for you with Rias."

Ravel nodded sadly "I see so we can't be together then."

Kaede shook her head "I never said that, you just may have to share me with some others after this party is over. whatcha say Ravel want to give this a go?"

Ravel nodded and kissed him again before looking at the time "Oh I have to go and do some things I'll see you later tonight then?"

Kaede nodded "Sure go on do what you have to do."

Ravel nodded and skipped off, Kaede was about to walk back to the punch bowl when he was tapped on the shoulder turning he was met by a taller man with more muscles, black hair and purple eyes, Kaede looking bored as usual and slouched slightly tilted his head back a little "Aren't you a big fucker names Kaede you?"

the young man not taking offence to the language chuckled "Sairaorg Bael, Rias cousin on her mother's side; I saw the Rating game and I must say I was impressed it's refreshing to meet someone who isn't a nekomata who can use Chi and touki."

Kaede shrugged "Only Chi not touki but anyway how can I help."

Sairaorg shrugged "not much just want to introduce myself and say your welcome to drop by the Bael manor and have a spar with me anytime. And to also find out how you liberated all those women of their undergarments."

Kaede hearing that chuckled a little and clicked his fingers before Greed appeared on his shoulders "This here is Greed my familiar he's an avaricious little tyke and has a cool ability that allow him to rob you blind without you even knowing."

Sairaorg looked at him disbelievingly "Sorry but you're going to have to prove it."

Kaede shrugged "alright then." Kaede then bought Greed closer and whispered in his ear and pointed a few women one being Lady Phoenix, one being Lady Gremory, one being Serafall Leviathan and the last being Kuisha Abaddon Sairaorgs Queen. when he finished Greed looked at him and nodded with a squeak before scurrying off "Now we wait a few minutes. So Sairaorg what martial arts do you specialise in."

Sairaorg was slightly amused by his lazy behaviour shrugged "No set style really I just learnt the basics of multiple martial arts and combined and improved making my own what about you I recognised it but I couldn't remember the name."

Kaede nodded "that's fine it's one of the lesser known Chinese martial arts it's called BaGuaZhang also known as the 8 trigrams palm or circle walking. pretty handy against multiple opponents oh and I'm a brown belt master died before I could finish studying and never had the urge to find another master."

Sairaorg nodded but didn't get a chance to answer as Greed appeared with four bras and panties and handed them to Kaede before he passed them to Sairaorg and patted him on the shoulder "Good luck friend."

As Kaede said Greed disappeared and a nearby she devils screamed "Panty thief!"

as if on Que every woman checked themselves and four indignant squawks were heard from different parts of the hall before they all converged on Sairaorg while Kaede was a few meters away giggling to himself.

Lady Phoenix getting there first had her eyes widen as she spied her unmentionables and was soon joined by Venelana, Serafall and Kuisha and they all proceeded to give him a dressing down until he pointed at Kaede who was still snickering to himself froze before waving "Hiya how are you lovely ladies today?"

it was then Venelana stepped forward "Izanagi-san I'm Rias's mother, after this party I will be meeting out a punishment for you my daughters pawn." Kaede who hated punishment since it always ended up with him doing something physical sighed.

Lady Phoenix stepped forward and Kaede had his eyes widen marginally "Aw shit your Ravels Haha-sama right?"

Lady Phoenix nodded "While I am happy for my daughter this behaviour is unacceptable mister Izanagi."

Kaede nodded and spoke before he was dressed down by the leviathan herself since he only now just realised who she was said "I only did it because Sairaorg Senpai told me to he said I couldn't and I told him I could and he said the only way for him to believe was if he saw it for himself I told him it was a bad idea but he didn't care."

Sairaorg hearing that internally grimaced 'well played Kaede Izanagi I definitely found myself a worthy opponent.'

the women again this time all turned on Sairaorg and continue to tell him off before snatching back what was theirs and moving to the woman's facilities to redress.

Kaede by then had snuck away and was back at the fruit punch bowl dinking some while sampling some of the finger sandwiches and other snacks on offer. After that he made his way back to Akeno and others just in time to see Sona walking away but conversely just in time to see Riser appear in a burst of flames "Greeting esteemed devils of the underworld, on behalf of the house of Phoenix I Riser would like to thank you all for coming today, this is a historic moment for the world of devils and I want my dear guest to be the first to know two great houses are about to become one I Lord Riser of the house of Phoenix will wed Lady Rias of the illustrious house of Gremory and now I present to you my bride Rias Gremory!". it was then that Rias appeared in a magic circle.

But at the same time as she appeared Kaede raised his arm and pointed it at Riser "Haruhā āru" and a large bright beam of flames impacted on Riser propelling him backwards shocking many making them look at him.

Rias being surprised by his action "Kaede?"

Kaede shrugged and holstered his hand which stopped smoking "I was getting sick of listening to his voice and a crimson red rose may or may not have told me to fight for what I want and besides what I want is money, status, woman, sex and anything else the world has to offer and you know what Rias, Ravel and immortality are right at the top of that list."

Ravel who was shocked blushed and wasn't sure what to do but was soon held in place by her mother who smiled down at her telling her all she needed to know.

Riser getting out of the hole in the wall stood up and pointed at Kaede "who do you think you are boy?"

Kaede shrugged and summoned his boosted gear again "The names Kaede Ho-Masubi Izanagi I'm here to take Rias back and make sure she doesn't have to give anything up to you man slut shouldn't I don't know return to your street corner and call out $1.00 for one hour."

Rias hearing that froze and blushed brightly, Riser just looked angry "How dare you! guards seize him!"

as he said that Kaede was surrounded by guards and sighed and tapped his heel on the ground and vines popped out of the ground and tied them all up squeezing until they were all knocked out "Akeno, Kiba, Koneko you wouldn't mind holding off any more guards while I destroy the blonde fucker."

"None at all get our Rias back"

"It'll be super-hot and fun I hope you can take responsibility later."

"Show the D bags what's what Brother White."

Kaede nodded "It'll be a shame to ruin the jacket, waist coat and shirt as well as the tie" he then removed said articles of clothing leaving him shirtless showing of his well sculpted top making a many she devils blush and swoon at the sight walking over to Ravel he smiled "Hold these for me would you it will only be for a minute."

Ravel just nodded not trusting her voice as she drunk in what he looked like without a shirt. Kaede turned and walked slowly forwards while other devils began to wonder if this was a set up but stopped when he saw Grayfia enter with a red-haired male wearing some out of this would pauldrons and cape "No this is just some entertainment I prepared."

Kaede sighed and put his hands in his pockets "Grayfia if your here then that means...Well I'll be the Lucifer himself shows up for his sister engagement party, how'd you enjoy last night's Rating Game"

Rias was just shocked to see her brother as was everyone else, Riser not liking what he heard scowled "What do you mean you prepared all this"

Sirzechs smiling at that spoke answering both Kaede and Risers questions "I watched the game and I have to say Riser I was underwhelmed by you but Kaede on the other hand a Rating Game Virgin as were my sister and the others and they bought down your entire peerage and I'm led to believe that Kaede came up with the strategy that beat you nearly if it wasn't for the fact that Kaede and Kiba were quite beaten up already then you may have lost Riser."

"It's the final result that counts my lord."

"While that may have been true in the past the games don't mean what they used to, besides Riser you were nearly bought to your knees by a first time competitor I can't exactly imagine your family is proud of the way you performed, but I also believe in second chances and I think you should have one and besides we don't have a celebration like this every day this party could use some flare I think." he then looked at Kaede with a smirk "Kaede they say you possess the power of a dragon and I would like to see what your made of at full power that is."

Riser looking at Kaede as well had an unreadable expression on "I see you want us to fight."

"Dragon vs Phoenix yes, I believe your guests... I believe your guest would love to see a match between two powers such as yours"

"No don't you can't Kaede." said Rias worried about him

"I see Riser will oblige in this fight."

Sirzechs then returned his attention back to Kaede who was standing slouched still with his tattoos on show for everyone "And you dragon?"

Kaede looked at the ceiling in exasperation "I didn't take off my shirt for fun you know nor did I blast the blonde fried chicken cum dumpster through the wall."

Rias just looked at him with worry firmly etched on her face.

Sirzechs nodding asked "Tell me Dragon if you are the victor what would you like as your reward?"

that question bought forth cries of panic and outrage from various people but Sirzech quietened them down easily enough continued "After all I requested this of him so he should be compensated accordingly what would you like perhaps a title, a woman of great beauty ask and if you win you shall receive."

Kaede smirked "Ask and I shall receive so like a wish you'll grant me anything right?"

Sirzechs nodded "Yes anything"

Kaede nodded "That's good if I win I want 10 wishes"

Sirzechs nodded "Alright should we begin then."

Kaede nodded and soon found himself in a large arena almost like a colosseum with four knight chess pieces bordering the arena "let the fight begin then."

Kaede then started walking towards Riser and tilted his head as a fireball flew past and yawned "Promotion Queen, Hey Riser you know what it takes a lot to piss me off and you know what You pissed me off and while I may look calm inside I just raring to rip you to shreds and you know what I'll let Ddraig explain the rest."

{BOOST, WELSH DRAGON OVERBOOSTER, BALENCE BREAKER!}

Kaede was then gained a red scale mail covering and was floating in the air "I did tell you didn't I Riser Beware the Dragon. For this is the Red Dragon Emperors power boosted gear scale mail balance breaker!"

Rias looked shocked "He had the Balance breaker form!?"

Sirzech merely looked amused "So he has the forbidden infernal form amazing."

Kaede then smirked as he floated higher "It's a good thing I have 10 minutes in this armour cause that's more than enough time to destroy you Riser now try this ādo" again a large white flaming dragon descended from the sky and charged at Riser who took the full brunt of the attack as he wasn't expecting it to be so fast.

{BOOST!}

Kaede then pointed his hand forward at where Riser was as he hadn't seen him appear from the dust and smoke of the last attack "Dragon Shot!" he then shot a beam of red light down at where he hoped Riser was, waiting a while Kaede saw Riser fly up towards him on flaming wings and even with his immortality he looked worse for wear as he charged covered in flames.

Kaede got into his opening stance and waited, when Riser was close he started moving his hands and when Riser was nearly hitting Kaede he diverted the attack and sent Riser plummeting into the ground with a bang and a flash of light making people gasp out.

Riser groggily got to his feet but was soon surrounded by thirty skeleton warriors Kaede had just summoned who then proceeded to hold him down, Kaede noting that the fight had only been going for around a minute walked towards a considerably weakened Riser "Oh you don't know how good it feels having the roles reversed now I'm going to pay you back ten no 100 fold for what you did yesterday" he then punched Riser in the face making his head snap backwards and possibly breaking his neck but he didn't move thanks to the skeletons holding him

"That was for making Rias Cry bastard!"

"This for being a womaniser and only using your servants for pleasure." he thumped him in the chest shattering his ribs

"This is for being a douche and beating an already defenceless opponent." the face this time

"For being a coward." the beating continued until well until Risers body went limp in his skeleton captor's grip.

Kaede seeing this waved his hand and dismissed the skeletons who went up in dust making Risers body limply fall in a heap on the floor, Kaede dismissed the armour and sat down and waited to be beamed out which happened a few seconds later.

Appearing in the hall again with everyone else Kaede yawned and looked at Sirzechs "10 wishes that you have to grant unto me should I call upon them."

Sirzechs nodded "Yes that was the deal."

Kaede nodded "Good, I'll use two of them now, 1 release Rias Gremory from any and all agreements she has not consented to or wishes to be a part of and two I want all the rights and privileges of a high-class devil but I don't want to start a house, or gain evil pieces until I have in the eyes of the Maou become worthy or until I reach the age of 25 nah make it 30 I'm a devil long life and all... that's it for now."

Sirzechs nodded "your smart but I agree to your wishes."

Kaede nodded and looked at everyone who was standing looking at him dumbfounded grabbed a drink raised it above his head "what are you standing round for Lets PARTY! DJ PUT ON SOME PHAT BEATS!" the DJ then put on some who's that chick by David Guetta and Rihanna.

Kaede with a mic watched as the place went mental as everyone got down with it, still shirtless he turned to Rias and who came up to him and hugged him before kissing him on the lips and pulling away "thank you Kaede...oh before I forget I've decided to move in with you."

Kaede hearing that gulped "Ah you know I don't have any guest rooms."

Rias nodded "I'll be sleeping with you silly." as she said that she kissed him again and went over to Akeno who was dancing with some other female devils around her age, Kaede was then approached by Ravel who was still holding his clothes taking them he hugged her as well making her blush "You don't mind right?"

Ravel shook her head "No it's fine it'll take a while to get used to it but I'm not allowed to be in the human realm all that much so it'll be hard to see you often is all."

Kaede smiled "Don't worry I won't ever not love you and don't you forget that."

Ravel nodded and hugged him before kissing him and moving over to a group of girls of a similar age to her, Kaede was soon joined by Sairaorg Sirzechs, Kiba and some other males.

The next day

Kaede waking up the next day felt extra warm but at the same time slightly claustrophobic, cracking an eye open he was met with a face full of blonde hair 'Please tell me, me and Ravel didn't do it.' he then looked left and saw a mass of purple hair and his arm nestled between the purplettes large breasts 'Who do I know that has purple hair?' deciding he wasn't getting anywhere he looked the other way and sighed in annoyance when he saw a familiar red head clutching his other arm in a similar fashion 'Troublesome how the hell did this happen...All I remember is beating the snot outta Riser, getting a kiss from Rias and her announcing she was moving in with me, Ravel nearly in tears she wouldn't see me for a while, dancing more like watching all the honeys on the dance floor, drinking the fruit punch feeling up Riser's Queen and talking to her then more punch and then everything's a blur...Aiee how, know this is why I try so hard to avoid these bloody troublesome situations but no I blame you Sirzechs-sama...oh Yubelluna waking up.'

tilting his head so he was looking at Yubelluna he saw her yawn sexily and open her eyes looking at him whispered since she noted Ravel on him asleep still along with a mop of red hair "So me dreaming about you asking to be a part of your harem wasn't a dream."

Kaede hearing that sighed "apparently not, what the fuck did I drink last night no a better question what was in the punch?"

Yubelluna giggled a little and moved a little before claiming his lips momentarily "Well if it helps after accepting your harem invite I don't remember much either, the punch I'm not sure either but whatever it was it did the job."

Kaede nodded "oh it worked, I'm actually worried what the news will say or what sorta photos or videos will surface in the coming weeks."

Yubelluna nodded and rested her head on his shoulder "You know when I first met you I was unsure how to judge you but now your just sweet, kind, handsome, hunky, powerful and you're a dragon in more ways than one" and she punctuated each word with a quick kiss.

Kaede just nodded and added "I'm also chronically lazy, love sleeping, putting as little effort into anything I find troublesome or annoying and that list is too large to even begin, my parents also don't know I'm a devil."

Yubelluna shrugged and nuzzled his shoulder "I can live with that."

Kaede nodded "Okay, oh Ravel-chan is stirring."

He was then greeted by Ravel lifting her head and rubbing her eyes cutely before looking down at Kaede and blushing when she also noted that she was on top of him naked and that he was naked, she then saw Yubelluna lying on her side not caring about her nudity and Rias who was still asleep.

Kaede seeing his chance glanced down and made an unintelligible noise 'I was right a mid C easily.' he then managed with his left hand which Yubelluna had let go of reached up and had a little feel making Ravel blush even more and swat his hand away.

Whispering sharply, she looked down at him with an indignant look "Don't do that Kaede."

Kaede sighed and removed his hand from her chest and put it behind her head and gently pulled her forward before kissing her "Sorry Ravel forgive me."

Ravel huffed when she pulled out of the kiss "I forgive you." she then proceeded to hug him and looked at Yubelluna "I take it I have to share Kaede-kun with you and Rias. Yubelluna?"

Yubelluna nodded "It seems that way my lady."

Ravel nodded "I don't mind I've accepted that Kaede-kun will attract many women to him."

Kaede hearing that grumbled "I didn't ask for this you know. Oh, heya Rias."

At that point Rias had woken and was looking Kaede lovingly but also noted Ravel and Yubelluna and remembered vaguely what happened the night before and ended up nodding and smiling hiding her jealously from them. leaned over and kissed him "morning Kaede any of you remember what happened yesterday after we welcomed Yubelluna"

Kaede shrugged well sort of shrugged "Nah me and Luna are in the same boat as you, haven't had a chance to ask Ravel yet...So Ravel you remember anything?"

Ravel shook her head "No not much same as you guys."

Kaede nodded and levered himself up so he was sitting with Ravel still on top of him sitting on his lap Kaede then grinned lazily "at least today aint a morning wood morning right Ravel."

Ravel who was sitting on him blushed and shifted a little so she was sat on his thigh instead. Kaede then Noted Yubelluna was sat up as well leaning against him as was Rias said as he took in the interior "So where are we exactly."

Ravel shifted again "My room in the Phoenix mansion."

Kaede nodded "Well then I propose we all get..."

"Ravel dear I'm coming in!"

Ravel hearing that paled "Hahue!"

Kaede sighed and looked up at the sky while Yubelluna and Rias covered themselves with the bed sheets only leaving their heads exposed.

Lady Phoenix walking into her daughter's room nearly fainted and screamed out, nearly being the operative word, she was a dignified lady one which did not faint or cry out gained a faint blush "Ara I'll leave."

Ravel not wanting her mother to leave blurted out "Kaa-sama wait!"

Lady Phoenix stopped and looked back and folded her hands in front of her "Yes I'm listening."

Ravel nodded and looked a little sheepish "Do you know what happened last night none of us remember after around 10."

Lady Phoenix hearing that frowned "strange you four are underaged and shouldn't have been drinking the alcohol."

Ravel deciding it would be best if she spoke instead of the other shook her head "We didn't we only had punch all night, that's why we are all confused."

Lady Phoenix nodded "Well someone could have spiked the drinks...I have to ask you're not sore anywhere Ravel, are you?"

Ravel getting where her mother blushed heavily "N-n-n-no I-I'm fine! not sore at all."

Lady Phoenix nodded "Good otherwise we would be organising a wedding for the two of you."

Kaede who was silent felt his stomach gurgle spoke "Lady Phoenix is there any food I'm actually really hungry."

Lady Phoenix nodded "I was doing my rounds and I thought I would wake Ravel for her breakfast but considering the circumstances I'll have the cook prepare more food." After that she turned on her heel and walked off out of the room.

Let's just say breakfast was awkward...

Human realm Kaedes house early morning. few days later.

Kaede waking up was greeted to the sight of Rias's boobs in his face he then blinked "Huh Rias came over last night" as he finished Rias in her sleep pulled Kaedes face into her bosom making him give a muffled cry for oxygen, when he felt her loosen her grip he pulled back "Well they are right there just begging to be squeezed and played with." not hesitating he managed to rub his thumb over nipple before

"Kaede good morning."

Kaede stopped and looked up slightly and yawned "Morning, so you weren't kidding when you said you were moving in."

Rias who was still holding Kaede smiled "Oh sorry you had already fallen asleep when I arrived and your parents didn't object so I let myself in."

"Right and they didn't do anything weird right and we may need to set some rules you know for my sanity, while I don't mind waking up to see yours and the other bodies there is one problem my alarm is my mother waking me up."

Rias smiled "No and I'll be waking you up. I really couldn't help myself I wanted to have you as my hug pillow."

Kaede nodded "Right..."

Rias had then moved so she was on top of him and was looking at him sexily "We still have time; do you think something naughty will help deepen communication between us." she then lent forward and kissed him on the lips.

Kaede looking at with his usual look "Well I wouldn't be normal if I said no."

Rias who was still on top lifted up slightly "Then do you want to have me. You should know I'll do anything for you."

Kaede breathed a little deeply "Anything...I can think a of a few things." he then sat up and started to kiss her while bringing his right hand and cupping one of her breasts while his other hand slid down and cupped her bum before snaking around and down so his hand was between her legs "How about I take advantage and finish what we started the other week hmm."

Rias nodded as she gained a blush and moaned softly "O-okay" they then went back to kissing.

it was then the door banged open "Kaede wake...UP...Ah oh no not again."

Kaede quicker than normal removed his hands and gave a lazy wave to his mother "Heya haha-chan, you remember Rias."

Kaedes mother nodded dumbly "Hai, Hai ah breakfast is ready I'll just go make some more for you Rias."

later sitting at the kitchen table Kaede was sitting next to Rias across from his mother and father who was eating breakfast while they were eating Kaede much to his surprise listened as Rias persuaded them to allow her to stay with them permanently and was willing to pay small amount of bored as well as willing to help around the house with chores.

after she finished Kaede was again slightly surprised that his mother agreed as well as his father but his father was a no brainer as soon as money was offered he was hooked. After his parents agreed to allowing Rias to stay around, his mother stood "Oh Kaede I almost forgot we got email from the school it seems that while you are a month to young for being a third year normally, your principal has looked at your grades and decided that you are to be bumped up to a third year starting today you're going to receive a timetable from the student office."

Kaede hearing that nodded "troublesome this means more work for me humph."

Rias smiled "What class is he in?"

Kaedes mother pursed her lips "I think it was class A3."

Rias clapped her hands together "Oh that's mine and Akeno's class."

Kaede rolled his eyes "Okay coincidental much. Anyway, I'm going to grab my bag and stuff."

As he got up Rias nodded but turned to Kaede's mother who had the same colouring as Kaede and the one Kaede took after in looks "Oh before I forget would it be an imposition for the club members to come over after school today."

She nodded "That's fine Rias dear, this is as much your home as it is ours now."

Kaede who made it to the kitchen door turned "eh what's wrong with the clubroom building"

"Yes, Kaede dear here, the old school building is having its annual spring cleaning and maintenance so we're going to have to meet somewhere else today."

Kaedes mother smiled "Oh goody I can make tea, biscuits and other snacks for you all."

Kaede sighed as his mother went into cook mode while Rias smiled and thanked her before taking their dishes over to the sink.

Later walking into the school grounds Rias decided to hold Kaedes hand and had a slight blush while Kaede didn't look any different than his usual lazy self. while they were walking Akeno joined them with closed eyes and a soft smile, making it in to the main building the boys started to send glares at Kaede and the girls were gushing at how cute Kaede and Rias looked together.

walking along Kaede saw one girl he found rather amusing she was in his former second year class Aika Kiryuu the female version of the glasses wearing idiot of the perverted duo. He waved at her calling her over gaining shocked looks from everyone

"Heya manhood measurer, could you tell sensei that if she doesn't know that I have been moved up a year, I'm now a third year."

Aika hearing that nodded "Aw no fair tit feelers going to leave me...well I'll tell sensei have fun"

Kaede nodded "Seeya round Aika." they then headed off.

the rest of the day was spent finding his classes and putting up with people commenting on how cute he and Rias looked together, there was a moment at lunch though that was interesting.

Flashback

Sitting in the club room since the maintenance people wouldn't be coming until later Kaede was there because he was escaping the sun, he then heard footsteps behind him looking he saw Akeno dressed provocatively in a wet robe "Oh Kaede I didn't know you were here." she then walked so she was sitting opposite him watching as his eyes roved her form

"No, my fault I didn't think you would be here." was all Kaede said.

Akeno giggled "that's hardly your fault Kaede..." she then came to in front of him and looked at him with lidded eyes "Now what should we do."

Kaede gained a faint blush as he looked at her closer "Oh I could think of a few things, but why are you all wet."

Akeno smiled "Because I wanted you to see me all wet of course silly." she then reached for his hands and held them sensuously "is it distracting."

Kaede shook his head "No, no not at all."

Akeno smiled and then moved onto his lap straddling him and placed her head by his ear and whispered huskily "guess what I have this crush on a cute guy but he's totally clueless."

Kaede not as dense as some in the ways of women looked at her "Hmm maybe he can't tell or maybe he knows you like a challenge and is playing hard to get." as he said that Akeno snaked her arms around his neck and placed her head on his shoulder and pressed her body against his. "your naked right."

Akeno who was now fully hugging him "O natural, but if I make a move Rias will get jealous so for now let's just stand on ceremony." she then proceeded to nibble and suck on his neck.

Kaede hearing that shivered internal 'this woman, if this is standing on ceremony and not making a move then I would dearly love to see her make a move'

Akeno after a minute got off Kaede satisfied she had given him a decent hicky smiled and turned so she was side on "Kaede do you remember your battles with Phoenix."

Kaede nodded "Sure do...they were dam troublesome...regeneration what a fucking stupid hack and cheat."

Akeno who ignored the last part continued "You got up time and time again after being beaten bloody, you were the definition of manliness Kaede, then when you caused those two scenes at the engagement party to save Rias that was impressive you even defeated Phoenix who was rumoured to be immortal. After getting to see a gentleman in such a brilliant fight, I don't know I feel so..." she then sat on his lap and traced her finger over his chest "...I wonder could this be love."

Kaede hearing that sighed "Love like I told Rias is a fickle mistress, it's yours to interpret as you will, but then again who am I to say. You know that guy what if I told you I know he thinks the same way about you..." Ding Dong Ding Dong.

It was then the school bell went and Akeno stood up "Well this was fun... We should do this again sometime."

Flashback end

Kaede soon found himself at home with the rest of the club and his mother looking through old photo albums of when he was younger. Sighing Kaede looked Over at Kiba who was staring at a picture looking over his shoulder Kaede said "that brings back memories that's me and Irina Shidou when we were five, she moved away just before I met Tsu-Tsu after her father got a job in England. Her father always joked and told stories of how his family sword was forged from a shard of king Arthurs Excalibur...they were good people."

Kaede having said that laid down on the floor and tried to tune out his mother, Rias, Akeno, Koneko and Asia as they gushed over him as a toddler.

Later that night Kaede found himself teleporting to another contract as somehow, he had been swindled into doing one, arriving outside the door to the room in a hotel he was about to knock when a man opened the door, Kaede guessing he saw the light stream in from around the door shrugged as he regained his lazy posture "Soooo you called for a devil well here I am."

the man who had a golden fringe and black hair with purple eyes and black goatee was lent against the door frame "Well come on in."

Kaede nodded and stepped through the door way past the man and was told to take a seat while the man disappeared off somewhere, taking a seat on one of the couches Kaede looked around admiring the decor of the room when he saw the man return with a tray full of booze "care to have a drink?"

Kaede shrugged why the hell not he was a devil so normal rules shouldn't apply nodded "Yeah why not."

the man seemed a little surprised by his answer momentarily broke into a smile "Great I have a partner to drink with."

Kaede hearing that had to ask, "Is that all you wanted a devil to have drinks with."

the man shrugged "Is that so bad."

Kaede shook his head "You know what I might actually enjoy doing this contract."

Later that evening a very much drunk client and a moderately drunk Kaede were laughing as the client clarified "Hehehehehe So your telling me your kings sister in law caught you with your pants round your ankles and knocked you to the other side of the room."

Kaede nodded "Hehehe when you say it like that it's funny, you also can't forget my mother walked in on me and Rias as well in the middle of some fun. and before that I was caught in bed with Rias and two other girls by a noble devil woman who was the mother to one of the girls as well."

the client taking a sip continued to laugh "Haha...Hilarious...Hahahahhahahahahahhhhahahahahhahaha"

Not too much longer the client took his last sip "That was fun... What would you like as compensation."

Kaede shrugged "Huh oh right yeah ah well drinks hmm I guess a meal would be appropriate."

the Client nodded "I can do that."

One meal and a teleportation later

Kaede arriving in his room saw Rias was about to phone him stumbled on to his bed and started laughing "Hahaha made a contract I think I will enjoy fulfilling."

Rias turning to Kaede saw him collapse on their bed wrinkled her nose slightly as she could smell the alcohol on him sighed "Kaede your underaged what are you thinking!"

Kaede waved dismissively "Ma Rias-chan it was only a few not that much."

Rias rose an eyebrow "Mmmhmm"

Kaede hearing that looked at her and saw a displeased face "Urrgh fine it was a couple of bottles of Sake, so you were about to phone someone what's up."

Rias narrowed her eyes "I was about to phone you we have a stray to hunt..."

Kaede hearing that nodded "...Cool let's go!"

Later

A now sober Kaede sitting at his desk chair looked at Rias who was sat on the bed "So let me get this straight Princess has a beef with the holy sword Excalibur thanks to a church run project that ended the lives of all his friends he considered family."

Rias nodded and sighed before falling on her back making it so she was lying on the bed "Yes that's pretty much it."

Kaede then picked up the photo album that was left in his room and opened it to the page that Kiba was looking at earlier "And this is probably what set him off." he then held the book up showing Rias the picture "She was my friend from before meeting Tsu-Tsu her father always joked it was made from a fragment of the holy sword Excalibur."

Rias gave an exasperated sigh as she looked at the picture "If it was going to be anything it would be that...I'm tired and it's late so we best head off to bed."

Kaede sighed at how bossy she could be but changed into his bed clothes before snuggling under the covers.

Next day

Waking up thanks to Rias ripping the covers off of him Kaede groggily rolled over and sat up like he was one of those zombies rising from a coffin "Morning to you to."

"Good your up I'm going to help your mother with breakfast come down when you're ready and don't fall back to sleep" was all his red-haired princess stated before walking out in her school uniform."

Kaede just mumbled something in coherent before swinging his legs out of bed {YO KAEDE, SORRY IF I'M HEH YOUR NOT ASLEEP SO NEVER MIND...} Kaede at that point was pulling on his school pants hoping the dragon would stop talking but alas that was not to be {DON'T IGNORE ME.}

Kaede sighed "Can't blame me for trying Ddraig so how can I help big guy."

{YOUR JUST AS UNMOTIVATED AS EVER THAT'S REFRESHING.}

Kaede shrugged as he tugged on his top "You would be to if one of your girlfriends woke you up at some ungodly...OW...hour in the morning. So please be a little more sensitive your old dragon."

{WELL THATS UNFORTUNATE, I MANIFESTED TO GIVE YOU A WARNING.}

"I'm guessing it's going to cause me a whole load of trouble you know I'm starting to think this devil gig is lot more problematic than it's worth" was all he said as he finished changing and sat at his desk chair and stared at the roof while resting his green glowing hand on the desk.

{I'VE FELT A STRONG SPIRITUAL PRESENCE SURROUNDING YOU LATELY, IT'S MAKING ME NERVOUS I CAN'T SLEEP.}

Kaede sighed in a mixture of frustration and boredom "And I'm going to take a guess and say it isn't Rias right considering you haven't complained like this before."

{YOU WOULD BE CORRECT...}

"So, are you telling me an enemy has gotten past my sensing ability?"

{I'M SAYING BE CAREFUL. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE WHITE ONE WILL DECIDE TO MAKE AN APPEARANCE.}

Kaede who was sure he heard of the white one before shrugged "Go on I'll bite who's the White One?"

{THE VANISHING DRAGON, IS THE WHITE DRAGON.}

Kaede being Kaede made a hand gesture "Go on."

{WE ARE CALLED THE TWIN SKY DRAGONS AND WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING FOR QUITE SOMETIME NOW, THOSE WITH SKY DRAGONS INHABITING THEIR BEING ARE DESTINED TO FIGHT ONE ANOTHER}

Kaede this time groaned in annoyance "Urrgh are you kidding me a person with a sacred gear like me will intentionally seek me out for a fight troublesome."

{THERE IS AND YOUR MY ONLY HOPE.}

Kaede sighed "I suppose that this is based off of equivalent exchange right you give me power and I fight this white dragon for you, and here all I wanted was to have a normal life, marry a normal girl who would put up with me, have a normal job with normal hours, live in a normal house, have two kids a son first then a daughter... but that all changed when you came along but I suppose it's for the better especially considering I'm surrounded by a gaggle of big tittied bitches, Now while not my dream more of a aspiration is to see how many big tittied girls I can get to fall for me without even trying too hard."

{HHHHAHAHAHAHAHAH, IT ISN'T OUT OF THE QUESTION, IT'S TRUE A DRAGONS POWER CAN BE OVERWHELEMING TO SOME AND THEY MAY WANT TO FIGHT BUT TO OTHERS ESPECIALLY THE FEMALES THEY'LL BECOME ATTRACTED AND FIND YOU CHARMING.}

Kaede hearing that nodded and stood as he started to walk to the door "So your good for something other than fighting, your becoming more and more useful Ddraig my man."

{YES, EVERY MAN I'VE BEEN IN HAS BEEN SURROUNDED BY LUSTFUL WOMEN AND I LIKE THE CHANGE IN TUNE KEEP IT UP.}

later that day

Kaede was like usual sleeping in the clubroom in the window seat when Akeno walked in with Sona and Tsubaki, Kaede being oblivious to it though stayed blissfully asleep while Asia was using the bathroom, Koneko was snacking and Kiba was nowhere to be found.

Kaede later returned home without Rias since he found out from Akeno and Koneko she was with Sona, walking in the front door of the house Kaede felt the chill he got whenever a holy being or object was around but it almost didn't read on his threat radar since he had already sensed two slightly holy aura's at his house when he was leaving the school grounds, removing his shoes and walking through he stopped in by the lounge and looked in and saw his mother talking to two girls about his age one with short blue hair and the other with long chestnut into two pigtails both wearing church garb.

Leaning against the door frame just as his mother heard him come in "Oh Kaede there you are."

Kaede looking at them closed his eyes and opened them again and gazed at the two with his half lidded smouldering gaze that had an edge of steal to that slightly surprised the two churches although they hid it well "Irina been awhile 13 no wait 12 years now."

Kaedes mother clapped her hands together "Oh so you do remember her that's wonderful."

Kaede who was looking on with dispassion passed his gaze over at the large sword that was lent against the couch "You girls I would be careful with that sword if I were you...you never know who may take offence and phone the cops. I lost my appetite I'm going to my room."

not long after he left Kaedes mother apologised for his behaviour although Irina told her not to worry and she expected as much considering how she put off telling Kaede she and her family were leaving moving until a day before it happened and the fact she never stayed in contact, the two then excused themselves from the house.

Kaede who was in his room watched as they left from his window and dialled the polices number "Hello I would like to report someone carrying round a weapon in the middle of a suburban area at night... She's got short blue hair with a green stripe in her fringe, she's also wearing a white hooded cloak with light blue on she's with another woman who has chestnut hair in pig tails... the blue haired woman has a sword and I saw her swinging it about and being reckless with it... she's headed north along horimusha street walking... You'll send some people after her, that's great thank you bye bye."

He then hung his phone up wanting to stay anonymous, then heard a giggle behind him "that was rather devilish of you, what if they say your lying?"

Kaede shrugged "Their human they won't be able to alter memories like we can."

Rias smiled and hugged him "alright then, just to let you know if the police don't get them then we may be getting a visit from them tomorrow they need to talk to me about something."

Kaede who had to admit didn't like that thought hugged her back a little tighter "Like hell they will."

Rias smiled and leaned up snatching a kiss "Your sweet but I'm a big girl. Why were they here talking to your mother?"

Kaede shrugged "No clue, it's possible that Irina just wanted to drop round and say hi, I don't know why though we didn't exactly leave on good terms. But that doesn't matter now because all they care about is that I am a devil."

Next day Evening

Kaede who like Kiba who was absent had skipped school and was wearing Black Surrouel pants that have the crotch fall to just above his knees, Rocco Black Lace Up Ankle Boots, that are only tied up halfway leaving the top half to splay open. On his top, he has a semi deep plunged white collared long sleeve cotton top over the top he wears a black blazer like jacket that is single breasted and is buttoned up round waist height, it has four red buttons that are in a square shape with the top two in line with his bellybutton and the other two the top of his groin. sitting in the window seat couldn't help but feel overly bored with waiting for the two-church people to show up, settling down in the spot he frequently slept in allowed his eyes to close pretending to sleep. While that was happening, Rias sat down on one of the couches while Akeno, Koneko and Asia took position up behind her. this was considering moments before Kaede had told them that the two exorcists had entered the building.

The Exorcists who entered soon found themselves sitting in front of the devils and introduced themselves "I'm Xenovia"

"And I'm Irina Shidou."

Rias who was looking at them arms folded and legs crossed with her three female members directly behind her "I do find it ever so interesting that worshippers of the church would contact the devil"

Irina nodded "It does seem random I know but here's the thing there are six swords we can account for, three of them are still with the church, but we happen to know the other three were stolen by the fallen angels."

That caused everyone present to gasp except Kaede who found it a little amusing, it was then the blue haired girl Xenovia spoke showing her bandaged sword off "These are from the ones we have left, there made from parts of Excalibur, this one's mine Excalibur Destruction."

Irina then held out her arm showing her a bit of rope tied round her upper arm "And this is my one Excalibur of Mimicry."

Rias staying composed smiled "Well what is it I can help you with."

Xenovia obviously having a grudge against them said bluntly "Stay completely out of our way this is between us and the fallen angels, we don't want you devils to intervene."

Rias rose an eyebrow slightly unimpressed by her "That sound awfully like an accusation. Are you afraid we will side with the fallen angel and help them obtain the holy swords you possess."

"We know for devils that a holy sword is the worst type of weapon, it would only make sense that you would side with the fallen angels."

Kaede after he heard that slightly shook his head and opened his eyes slightly and sent a sideways glare at the two Exorcist that was laced with his aura making his eyes much like Rias's only his glowed a stormy mixture of green, silver and an orangey red. He was happy to note the Exorcist shivered a little at feeling their combined power even if it were only a little portion. 'Wrong Move Exorcist.'

Xenovia shaking it off rather admirably continued "and if that should happen we have no choice to completely annihilate you lucifer's sister or not."

Rias now hiding her anger at the exorcist words "Well since you have me so figured out then let me say this. There is no way I'd even entertain the idea of helping the fallen angels, as that would besmirch the great name of Gremory and I would never do anything to besmirch the house of Gremory or my dear brother."

Xenovia leaning forward slightly smirked "Humph it's enough for me just to hear that. I was only relaying the thoughts of the church HQ I honestly didn't think you would be that stupid to decide to join them."

Rias nodded "Good now that we have that out the way know that I won't be helping or aiding you in anyway."

Xenovia who must have been the elected speaker of the two "Of course and I trust we will prevail if you don't intervene in anything we do in this town."

Rias nodded, it was then that the two Exorcist stood "We won't be taking up anymore of your time."

Rias being the nice hostess she had offered them tea but declined and started to leave before Xenovia looked at Asia and stopped "I was wondering if we would ever come across you, you are Asia Argento are you not?"

Asia hearing that softly replied "Yes."

Xenovia then levelled a glare at Asia "Well it does make sense that I would come across a witch in a place like this.".

Kaede who was listening snorted quietly at her words and continued listening to the conversation the ensued, but as soon as it got to the point Xenovia was threatening to execute Asia, Kaede using something he had been working on to increase his speed appeared behind Xenovia surprising Irina and Xenovia. looking bored and feeling bored Kaede was genuinely uninterested in what was going on the only reason he moved was because he reckoned Rias shouldn't have to bother herself with these lowly humans who really didn't even register as a threat even with their swords and in his usual bored drawl "I really wouldn't do that if I were..." he then allowed fire to start dancing on his hands that he held in front of him "...otherwise things could get messy."

It was then Akeno called out doing her duty as queen "Don't do it Kaede."

Kaede sighed and allowed his flames to go out "Yeah it wouldn't be any fun anyway, by the way while I don't really care all that much what right do you have to call her a witch."

Xenovia who was slightly worried as she hadn't sensed him move until he spoke from behind her calmed herself "Believe me, witch is the kindest one that has been given her."

Kaede chuckled lowly if not a little evilly "oh is that so, wasn't it the church who decided she was a saint and not her...now if it were me I would be happy without the saint title like I'm sure many of your self-proclaimed saints would be."

Xenovia smirked "A genuine saint can survive on the love of God alone, if she made sacrifices for the love anyone besides God, then she was never a true saint."

Kaede at that point doubled over with laughter garnering the attention of everyone present, standing up straight he wiped a tear from his eye "Oh that's a good one Hehehe, ah such blind naivety and trust in your superiors who are feeding you utter bullshit if that's what you think...hehehehe...Man Irina I got say thanks for taking me to church those few times, ah besides all the preaching bullcrap the bible is a good read, love, murder, betrayal and intrigue. You say a saint should be able to survive on the love of God alone but what about St Helena she was the wife of Emperor Constantine and bore him a child she knew the love of family, Christina of Markyate she was married to a loving husband, Angela of Foligno she had several sons who she loved and there are many more saints I can't remember the names of."

Xenovia nodded "You seem well versed in the saints of our church...Who are you to her."

Kaede shrugged "that's not important exorcist...just know that if you raise a hand against her or anyone here I will hunt you down and throw all my might against the church and start another war if need be."

"I see so you're ready to take on the entire church pretty big talk for a little devil."

Rias seeing things were going too far "Kaede that's enough cut it out."

Kaede snorted "Girl you don't know the half of it so you better watch your words from now on little girl cause your way out of your depth you have no chance." he then paused and looked at the door "You finally showed up."

"What Kaede said is perfect I'll take you all on if I have to."

Xenovia looked at Kiba "Who are you?"

Kiba who was lent against the door with his arms crossed he had an evil glare "Your Superior...I would say it is a pleasure to meet you but it really isn't."

Later outside the clubroom

Kaede stood next to Kiba with a lazy look on his face "Who do you want?"

Kiba didn't respond and moved towards Xenovia, Kaede then looked at Irina "Well that settles that now I get the annoying pious upbeat girl without an off switch."
