A True Devil

Chapter 11 – Reactions

Previously on A True Devil

It was the next day when Rias and her peerage along with Kai all stood outside one of the closed doors in the old school building. This room had a tape strapped across it with a 'Do Not Enter' written on it. "Alright, I'm releasing the seal" Rias said raising her hands. All around the doors red magic circles appeared with the Gremory crest on them. When each one shattered and the seals were gone Rias opened the doors revealing a very dark room. "NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!" a high pitched girly scream startled most of them. 'What the fuck' Kai thought when he noticed that in the middle of the room was a coffin. 'Yup, definitely a vampire' he thought.

Everything was silent for a few seconds until Rias sighed. "Gasper, it's safe" she said in a kind voice. "NO I WANT TO STAY HERE!" the same loud girlish voice yelled while the coffin shook a little. "I take it your servant doesn't like people" Kai asked looking at Rias who shook her head. "Come on Gasper" Rias said as she walked forward with the others behind her as she opened the coffin when Issei came closer to look inside. "So cute" Issei said making those in Rias's peerage chuckle while Kai's eyes widened as he took a step away from Issei getting some confused looks. "Finally, it all makes sense" Kai said getting the others attention as he made his way to stand behind Layla who raised an eyebrow at him. "I had no idea you were into men, but I guess that's what happens when your only friends are a bunch of perverted males" Kai said getting a shocked look from Issei.

"WHAT!" Issei yelled taking a step towards Kai who moved further behind Layla. "I'm straight" Issei said getting a shocked look from Kai "Then why did you say he was cute" Kai asked as he pointed to the figure in the coffin. "He?" Issei wondered as he looked to the coffin, inside was what appeared to be a young female student as they wore the female school uniform, blonde hair cut in a short bob and violet eyes, along with pointed ears. "What?" Issei asked as he looked to Rias who nodded while the others in her peerage had smiles on their faces. "It's true, that is a boy, his name is Gasper but he prefers wearing female clothing" Rias explained shocking Issei who had wide eyes and turned to the half-vampire that was shaking in fear. "WHAT!" Issei yelled again making the Gasper yelp and suddenly disappear.

To Kai he had noticed when Gasper yelped that when his eyes changed in appearance. The pupil changed into a hexagon which glowed golden while black lines spread out from each point to the end of the iris which was a dark red. 'Forbidden Balor View, no wonder he can stop time' Kai thought as he watched Gasper jump out of the coffin and run to the cardboard box in the corner of the room and hid inside it, only after he was safe did the effects of his Sacred Gear stop making it appear like he disappeared to the others. 'That's a dangerous ability so that's why Rias had to seal him because she couldn't control him. Why would Zech let her have a servant she couldn't use' Kai wondered as he turned his attention back to the conversation the others were having.

"What just happened" Issei asked as he looked around "Where is…" he didn't finish when he noticed Kai pointing at the box in the corner of the room. "How did he get there? Teleportation?" Issei asked looking to Rias who was rubbing her forehead. "No, he possesses a Sacred Gear that has the ability to stop time but he doesn't know how to control it" Rias explained as she took a step forward. "Don't come closer, I don't want to hurt anyone" Gasper said as the box shook slightly. "Please Gasper come out" Rias asked as she leaned down slightly. "No" Gasper replied making the others sigh. "He is also very shy and doesn't like others because of his past" Rias explained as she stood up straight. "I don't know what to do" Rias whispered sadly.

"Well when you figure it out tell me, I'm not waiting here all day because he doesn't listen to you" Kai said as he looked to Rias who glared at him as he turned away and walked out the room with Layla following behind. When they were out of hearing distance Kai released a deep sigh as they made it outside where he leaned against one of the pillars. "I never thought I would encounter that Sacred Gear again, but for it to be in the hands of a child that is a servant to another child, interesting" Kai said looking to Layla. "And I don't think any of them realise just how dangerous that power really is" Layla added making Kai nod. "But if they somehow are able to unleash it completely, which I doubt this host will be able to do, I mean just look at the boy, he wants to be a girl" Kai said with a smile on his face. "That peerage gets stranger by the day" Kai created a magic circle below the two of them and transported them to the house.

~o~O~o~

Household

As the two arrived back at the house Kai already noticed that there someone else was also there. 'I wonder what he wants' Kai thought as he walked into the lounge with Layla at his side. There sitting on one of the couches was Sirzech with Grayfia standing beside him. "You know you should call first" Kai said as he took a seat on the opposite couch. "He did" Layla said making Kai look up at her "I told you earlier" she continued confusing Kai "But you probably weren't listening" she added a little softer but Kai caught it making him sigh. "Alright, so what did you need to talk about that needed a home visit?" Kai asked.

"Have you heard of the Khaos Brigade?" Sirzech asked making Kai raise an eyebrow. "Unfortunately, I have. That moron Ophis is using them to kill Great Red, but they are really using her" Kai paused as he narrowed his eyes "Why, what do they have to do with anything happening?" Kai asked making Sirzech sigh. "I believe that someone from them may attack at the meeting in a few days" Sirzech explained making Kai sigh. "Ah yes, those four from the old faction are there, I almost forgot about them" Kai said thinking back to the Old Satan Faction that had caused a lot of problems over the years since the previous leaders died. "It wouldn't surprise me if they did attack, they don't know I'm here so they would do something stupid like that" Kai continued as he leaned forward.

"And if they do know I'm here then they probably think that the power they got from Ophis would be enough to defeat me" as Kai finished saying this he laughed softly at the last part. "As if" he muttered under his breath so that only Layla caught it who nodded once in agreement. "Is there anything else?" Kai asked feeling releasing a yawn as he was a little tired. "Yes, I have been getting a few requests from some of the other devils concerning you. They have many questions and considering what you did with Riser more seem to come up" Sirzech explained making Kai raise an eyebrow. "Nothing serious I hope. I would hate to get involved" as Kai said this Sirzech paled a little at the thought. "No, no, no, I think I can handle them. They wanted to know which family you belonged to and there was a marriage proposal as well. I just thought you needed to know" Sirzech explained making Kai sigh.

"Well you can tell them I don't belong to any of those families, and if you get any more marriage things tell them I'm already taken" Kai explained as he looked at Layla who nodded. "I should also tell you that if there is an attack on the meeting I won't get involved, unless they somehow anger me, then I'll deal with it personally" Kai said darkly at the end which made Sirzech gulp slightly and the hairs at the back of his neck stand on end. "But other than that, I don't think there will be a problem" Kai said in his normal carefree tone. "But something tells me there is something else you wanted to say as well" Kai added narrowing his eyes slightly.

"Yes, well there was also some questions about Ms Layla" Sirzech explained making Kai narrow his eyes further "There were some requests on her identity, as well as her status in a relationship" Sirzech said with some nervousness. Kai's powers flared slightly making the windows in the room crack at the edges and the wooden floorboards splinter at some places, a dark aura was beginning to form around Kai but when Layla placed her hand on his shoulder he calmed down instantly. After a few deep breaths, Kai turned back to Sirzech who gulped again while Grayfia was still pale from his release of power. "You can tell anyone that is interested in my Queen that if anyone tried to take her from me, I'll kill them" Kai said in a dangerous tone, but Sirzech could tell he was serious.

"I'll let them know, well I think that I've taken enough of your time, so we should get going" Sirzech said as he stood up and bowed to Kai then turned to Grayfia who nodded. When both finally disappeared through a red magic circle Kai turned to Layla. "We need to talk, now" Kai said as he grabbed Layla's hand and started walking quickly up the stairs towards his room. Because some of his power was releasing those in his peerage that were currently home as well as the staff knew not to disturb him in this state, only Layla could get close to him when he was like this.

As the two reached Kai's room, he released Layla's hand then used his power to slam the door shut and place a soundproofing spell around the room so others couldn't hear what was said inside. Kai started pacing in the room while Layla looked at him with a worried look "Are you alright?" she asked when Kai turned his now glowing crimson eyes towards her, before she had time to blink Layla was against the wall with Kai's hands were against the wall on both sides of her, caging her in. "No, I'm not, if someone thinks they can take you away from me then they are sorely mistaken" Kai leaned in closer so his mouth was just above hers, "You. Are. Mine" Kai said the last word darkly as he slammed his lips against hers in a deep kiss, pushing her harder against the wall.

Layla closed her eyes after she got over the initial shock and leaned into the kiss. Taking his hands off the wall Kai placed one behind Layla's neck deepening the kiss, while his other hand went to the small of her back bringing her closer. When the two broke apart both were breathing heavily their eyes opening slowly "I had almost forgotten how possessive you were" Layla said softly as she looked into Kai's eyes, Kai didn't say anything as he leaned down capturing her lips again, this time pushing her up so Layla wrapped her legs around his waist. With them still caught in the kiss, Kai carried Layla over to the beg laying her down breaking the kiss in the process.

Both breathing heavily, Kai could see the flushed face on Layla, a huge contrast to her normal emotionless face. Pulling off his jacket and kicking of his shoes, Kai crawled up Layla's laying form, caging her in, they engaged in another passionate kiss, while him pushing her further up the bed. When they broke apart Kai started making his way kissing along her jawline and down her neck, while Layla panted softly. "You know, as much as I would love to continue this, we don't want you destroying the entire town if your powers get out of control" Layla said softly making Kai pause in his actions and groan as he levelled his eyes to her looking at them.

"I guess you're right, you know how I get when someone wants you" Kai said as he kissed her softly again before breaking away "But we will continue this once everything is set up, I promise you on that" Kai said seductively whispering in ear then gave it a soft nip making Layla let out a small moan. "I know" she whispered back pushing Kai so he sat up on the bed letting her move from under him to stand up. Fixing her clothes that got a little shifted from the bed she turned to look at Kai who had a smirk on his face. "You don't have to look so smug" she said making Kai's smirk widen. "But I'm the only one that could get you in such a state, and it will stay that way if I have anything to say about it" Kai said as he reached out grabbing her by the waist and pulled her into another kiss.

"I have to make sure the servants have restocked all the food Murasame ate, and I also need to fix the mess you made of the lounge" Layla whispered when they broke apart. "You do that, I need a very cold shower" Kai replied as he got off the bed and walked to the bathroom. Removing the soundproof barrier Layla left the room and made her way downstairs making sure everything was in order before going to the lounge where those from the peerage who were at home were waiting. "That was quick" Erigon said making some of the peerage members roll their eyes while Layla just sighed. "He's calmed down" she explained making Erigon grin knowing how it happened. "So, what's the red heads new servant like" asked Coral who was sitting on the couch reading a book, not bothering to look up.

"He's a dhampir that dresses like a girl and possesses the Sacred Gear Forbidden Balor View" Kai said as he entered the room his hair still wet while wearing tracksuit pants and a normal sleeveless vest. The rest of his peerage looked at him for a few seconds, "A cross dressing, Sacred Gear using, dhampir, never thought I'd say those three things in one sentence" Erigon muttered before he started laughing. "That's brilliant, reminds me of what happened when we went to Vegas a few years back" Erigon continued making both Ethan and Kai groan "Please, don't remind me of that" Kai muttered as he took a seat on one of the couches. Looking at the others in the room he noticed that there were 3 of his peerage members missing. "Where are Mia, Becca, and Rei?" Kai asked the others. "And Murasame" Kai added when he saw that his sword wasn't where he put it earlier.

"Mia took Murasame out for food, both were hungry. Becca and Rei are… busy" Ciel explained as he started playing a game of chess against Ethan. "Ah yes, the full moon is in a few days so Rei will be a lot more moody than normal, but I suppose the Becca will keep him calm" Kai said with a chuckle at the end "And if Murasame is in his crow form I hope he doesn't talk, that never ends well" Kai muttered as he leaned forward. "I guess the rest of you heard what Zech wanted" he asked getting nods from the others "When the other three arrive I want you to inform the about what happened Layla" Kai said as he turned to the TV which Erigon had turned on and changed to one of the sports channels where a match was playing.

Mia had just finished her food tour with Murasame who was perched on her shoulder. "This place looks pretty cool from the outside… I want to explore before I go back" Mia muttered as she jumped over the school fence since the gates were closed, and started making her way to the school building. As Mia made her way around the school grounds a holy aura caught her attention 'I know that aura' she thought as she started running quickly towards the Old School Building while Murasame flew above. Coming to a stop at the small field outside the building Mia's eyes opened wide. There running on the grass were a boy, dressed like a girl, running away from the blue haired Knight wielding Durandal. 'Are they playing a game' Mia thought watching the interaction from behind one of the bushes.

"Eeeeek! Don't chase me with that sword" Gasper said dodging Xenovia's swings with Durandal. "If you're a Daywalker the you should be able to run in the day" Xenovia reasoned as she continued attacking the dhampir. At the side of the field stood Issei, Asia, and Koneko, all watching the actions of the two on the grass. "Do you think we should stop her before she kills Gasper" Issei asked a little afraid for the small boy, it was like watching a vampire hunt. Koneko who had been silent until now walked forward when Gasper finally came running toward them "Gaspie, here" opening her hands she revealed a few cloves of garlic making Gasper shriek and start running in the opposite direction, now being chased by the two females.

Mia who had been hiding in the bushes decided to jump out landing between Issei and Asia, startling the both of them "What are you guys playing?" Mia asked as she watched what she considered a game between the other devils. "Where the hell did you come from?!" Issei asked looking at the little girl with some fear, remembering what she did to him and Saji a while ago. "I was wondering around for food with Murasame, the felt something strange coming from back here, I wanted to see what it was. So is this a game of tag with the two of you out" Mia asked looking at Issei and Asia. "But why is the lady with the sword trying to kill the vampire boy, I've never seen a game of tag like this before" Mia said as she watched the three running around.

"They're not trying to kill each other, Xenovia is trying to… um… I'm not quite sure anymore" Issei started until he ended muttering the last part. "What is she doing here?" eyes turned to the source of the voice, out came Saji wearing gardening gloves and holding a shovel, he was currently looking at Mia with some fear in his eyes. "Oh, it's the other guy, well I'm just watching the game" Mia said as she pointed to the figures running around. "Murasame, you should head back before Lord Kai gets worried" Mia said to the crow that was perched on her shoulder. "Ok, have fun" Murasame said as he took off in the direction of the house.

"I still can't get over how a crow can talk" Saji said watching the bird flying away. "Woah, who's the new blonde girl?" Saji asked when he caught sight of Gasper. "Ah, yeah, hate to break it to you but that's a guy" Issei said watching as Saji's face made him look heartbroken. "WHAT!" Saji yelled startling the others in the group making them face him. "Never mind that, why are you here Saji" Issei asked looking at the shovel in his fellow Pawns hand. "Oh, for the last week the Student Council has been in charge of making the school look great, so I'm doing the flowerbeds" Saji explained holding up the shovel. Mia suddenly turned to face the tree line and raised her hand, sending out a shot of magic she blasted one of the trees to pieces.

"OUCH!" a male voice shouted startling the others making the turn to the noise. Coming out from the treeline was tall man looking to be in his late twenties, black hair with golden bangs, a goatee, and dressed in simple grey yukata with sandals. "You didn't have to try blow me up, lucky I moved in time, but some wood still hit me" the man said as he dusted of his clothes which had pieces of wood covering it. Issei was the first to snap out of his shock as he narrowed he eyes "Azazel" was all he said making everyone else get on guard, Xenovia bringing her sword ready, Issei and Saji releasing their Sacred Gears, Koneko getting into a fighting position, while Asia hid behind Issei, and Gasper hid behind a tree.

"MR PIGEON!" Mia yelled as she pointed at Azazel who turned to face her while everyone falters in the fighting positions. "What?" Azazel muttered as he got a better look at the girl, "Ah yes, now I remember, you're Lord Kai's little Pawn aren't you" Azazel said getting a nod from Mia. "Well anyway, I didn't come here to fight, is that holy demonic sword wielder here, I actually came to see him" Azazel said looking at the group in front of him. "If you're after Kiba, he isn't here" Issei said getting ready to fight while Azazel gave them a deadpanned expression. "If you couldn't defeat Kokabiel what makes you think you win against me. If that sword wielder isn't here, then this is boring" Azazel muttered as he looked at the group.

"Mr Pigeon, are you here for the meeting" Mia asked as she looked at the fallen angel leader. Azazel turned to look her in the eyes until he nodded "Yeah, I suppose that Lord Kai will also be there" Azazel said making Mia nod "Yup, well I better tell him that you're here, he probably already knows though. Well… bye" Mia said as she started running to the front gate leaving the others gaping behind her. 'Only Kai and his peerage would get away with calling me that' Azazel thought with annoyance as he looked at the remaining group and started taking to them about their Sacred Gears.

Household

Mia came running through the doors, it was already night time when she arrived in the dining room. "You're late Mia" Kai said as he sat at the head of the table, the others had already started eating. Looking sheepish Mia bowed low "I'm sorry, I got distracted" she said as she stood up and took her seat next to Ciel who shook his head. "You're never late for food, so what happened" Kai asked once Mia was seated and had served herself her food. "Oh, I was at your school and Mr Pigeon showed up" Mia said as she started eating. "Mr Pigeon… oh mean Azazel, yes I recognised his presence here just over a week ago" Kai said looking to his Pawn "Yeah, I thought as much, he'll be at the meeting" Mia said as she continued eating.

"The meeting is in two days, so everyone should be ready in case someone decides to attack the meeting, we won't get involved unless we have to though" Kai explained getting nods from his peerage members. "Erigon, you may be interested to know that Mikey is going to give Ascalon to Issei" hearing this Erigon dropped his knife and fork which landed on the table. "What, he's giving the 'Dragon Slayer' to that boy, the host of a dragon" Erigon said in disbelief and Kai nodded. "That's just asking for trouble" Erigon muttered "Did he give a good reason to do it?" he muttered looking to Kai. "A peace offering" Kai said and Erigon groaned. "That is not a good reason, especially with that sword" Erigon said as he started eating again. "I guess Mikey will give it to him tomorrow or tonight, since the meeting is the following evening. There's no school for the next two days so I guess I'm staying home" Kai muttered the last sentence as he continued eating with the rest of his peerage.

~ Until the Next Chapter ~

I know that it's been a LONG time, but I'm currently studying so I don't have a lot of time to write like I did last year. I haven't forgot about my stories so I will update them as I can. So there was a little more romance in this chapter between Kai and Layla, I'll go into their backstory somewhere in the story. I guess the meeting between the three factions will be next along with the fight with Katarina and Vali, still deciding. Also I gave a hint about what Erigon is, if he doesn't like the sword Ascalon which is a 'Dragon Slayer' sword, then what would he be? Also it shows that Azazel respects Kai's peerage that he will deal with being called Mr Pigeon.

Please Review and tell me what you think about the chapter, and what you think should happen next. Don't know why I'll update again, but I will.
