Chapter I

Howdy all! Yeah, another Highschool DxD story, but this one has a twist! The main character is Dante from Devil May Cry rather than the usual person I go with, that being Basara or Issei. So... neat? Maybe. Hopefully everyone enjoys it all the same. It is a crossover, a big one, as per normal. And a harem story as always. And again, as per normal, Bakuto Masaki is along for the ride with me, so I want to give him thanks for helping me write this craziness. Right, on with the show!

Two women walked down a long hallway, passing by several maids.

The first was a regal woman with shoulder-length dark brown hair and bright violet eyes, wearing a formal white dress with gold accents, the top hugging tightly against her booming bosom.

The second was a beautiful woman with silver hair that flowed all the way down her back featuring a braid on each side with small blue bows at the end of each while the rest hung loosely with twin braids at the end, matching silver eyes and a very large bust wearing a blue and white French maid outfit with long sleeves, a white maid headband on her head and red lipstick.

The brunette sighed heavily as she sat in a large office, looking over a cracked ring on her left hand. "This is trouble. We need a solution fast, Grayfia."

The silver-haired beauty nodded in response. "I agree, Lady Venelana. Sir Zechs is growing weary as well. It is troubling that those assassins got so far into the compound and nearly took Mio. And took your husband."

Venelana frowned somberly as she wrung her hands. "Yes, but if we take action without enough forethought it could reignite the already high tensions with the other side than even before."

Grayfia narrowed her eyes in thought before speaking her mind. "… Lady Venelana, if I may, there is one possibility."

Venelana raised an eyebrow before realizing where Grayfia was headed with her train of thought. "Ah. You mean him."

Grayfia nodded firmly. "Yes. It will provide plausible deniability if the situation comes down to it."

Venelana put a hand on her chin for a moment before sighing heavily and nodding to herself. "Very well. Keep the situation here contained as long as you can. I will be taking a short trip."

Grayfia nodded with a smile and bowed deeply. "Understood, Lady Venelana. Safe travels."

In another location entirely, Venelana proceeded down an alleyway side to a busy street wearing a heavy hooded robe to hide her figure as she looked around with mild disgust. "To think the son of that man is living in such squalor. How sad…" She sighed before she approached a building at the end of the hallway with a large neon sign that read "Devil May Cry" above the door. "Here it is," she remarked as she walked in and then covered her nose tightly as a smell filled her nose. "What is that stench…?" As she entered, she noticed a trash bin with a tower of empty pizza boxes. "Ugh…" She sighed and shook her head of the thoughts and looked around, noticing that the front office area, with a set of stairs to the left and a desk at the back with a large sword perched on the wall, was empty of any occupants. "I – Is there anyone here…?"

After a moment, a young woman with long, straight blonde hair and dark blue eyes wearing only a pair of trousers, her moderate bosom swaying freely, walked in with a yawn. "Geez, so early. What do you want?"

"I… am here to speak with Dante."

The blonde raised an eyebrow before shrugging. "… Ah. Hang on a sec."

Venelana watched curiously as the woman went back into the rear door. 'What have I gotten myself into?'

After a few moments, Dante, a man with short, messy white hair and deep blue eyes clad in black clothing with a long red cloak yawned as he walked out from the same room with the blonde now wearing a tight corset top. "So this is the one, Trish?" the white-haired man asked as he flopped into his chair.

The blonde, Trish, nodded in agreement. "Yep."

Dante turned his attention to Venelana for a moment. "So you're the person who wants to hire me for a job?"

Venelana nodded as Trish grabbed a chair for her to sit in. "Yes, I am."

"Ah. Well, out with it."

Venelana responded with a nod and pulled back her hood and opened her cloak, which she noted caused Dante's entire demeanor to change as he sat up straight. "My name is Venelana Gremory, and I have come to ask for your aid in a dire situation."

Dante began to frown in worry. "How dire…?"

"The lives of many hang in the balance, and we need someone who can take action outside of the political realm to handle it."

Dante frowned in thought. "Alright, you've got my attention."

Venelana nodded appreciatively. "How much do you know about the events in the Underworld?"

Dante shrugged with a minor chuckle. "Not much. Don't get Underworld news stations out here. Really should find a way to fix that."

"For the past few years, a war between two of its nations, Makai and Hell, has been raging. Recently a new king, Wilbert, took the throne and ended the hostilities. However, several months ago he was assassinated and now Makai has started the war anew."

"… And I come in… how?"

"Wilbert had a single child, Mio. She inherited his powers after his death. Both sides of the conflict are after her to use her powers as a weapon. I want to keep her somewhere safe until the conflict has died down and there is no further threat to her life. Originally, we had planned to keep her at our home in Hell, but something… happened which changed those plans."

Dante's face curled slightly with a frown as she continued.

"Mio is currently living in Japan, she has a school she attends and friends she is with there. So, as part of this contract, should you take it, it includes you living in Japan with her for the time being."

"I see… that shouldn't be too much. So how much are you offering?"

Nodding in understanding, Venelana answered, "I had already decided that you wouldn't be paid a single sum. You will be provided money each month, enough to cover compensation for your work and living expenses."

"I see." 'Probably shouldn't mention Iri…' "That works."

Venelana's face lit up with hope. "So… you'll do it?"

Dante merely responded with a nod. "Yeah. Not like I've got anything else to occupy my time. And we haven't had any other clients in weeks."

Venelana sighed in relief and pulled out a photo of two young women with long, vibrant red hair standing next to each other. "This is her. Her current name is Mio Naruse. The one next to her is my daughter, Rias."

Dante whistled with amazement. "Damn. She is fine. Gremorys? Both of them?"

Venelana nodded in response. "Yes. My husband is…" she stopped and trailed off with a deep frown, "was, Zeoticus Gremory. And Wilbert Gremory is, as I mentioned, Mio's father."

"I see… was?"

Venelana sighed heavily as her expression dropped. "Assassins attacked the Gremory compound recently in an attempt to kill Mio. My husband managed to stop them but lost his life in the process. And Mio witnessed it all…"

"Sounds like she's been through a lot in the past few days. Same with you. What about your own daughter, Rias?"

Venelana sighed yet again with a heavy heart. "She has mixed feelings about the event."

"Mixed feelings? Sounds like she didn't like her father much then."

"It's not that. It's simply recent events have been… strenuous, between them. Don't worry, it's nothing I plan to involve you in."

"Right…"

Venelana merely sighed and refocused her mind on the situation at hand. "… So you'll take the job then?"

"Sure. What's the monthly pay?" he asked before taking a sip of coffee.

"Two million Macca," Venelana answered plainly.

Dante raised an eyebrow as he thought for a moment before spitting out his drink. "Holy crap! That's a hell of a lot!"

"It is?" Trish asked, surprised at his response.

"Yeah. That's about a hundred eighty thousand dollars a month."

The blonde proceeded to twitch an eyebrow in annoyance. "Oh, now you're good at math!?"

"When it comes to money? Yes." Turning to Venelana, he exclaimed, "We'll do it!"

Venelana smiled with relief as Trish just sighed heavily. "Right… since you suck at it I'll pack your things."

"You're not coming?"

"Someone needs to let the others know where you ran off to when they get back."

"… Right…"

Venelana added, "I'm glad to hear you'll help us."

"Is it that pressing?" he asked with mild surprise.

Venelana nodded firmly. "Yes. Because it is unlikely helping her in any other way would have been possible. And I have it on good faith that you are strong enough to carry out the task of keeping her safe until this has all been sorted out."

Dante shrugged with a confident chuckle. "I like to think I can take almost any job. So, anything else I should know?"

"A few extra details. For one, Mio's servant or maid, Maria, a Succubus, is posing as her younger sister. The Hero Tribe is also observing her as well, so you need to keep an eye out for them."

The white-haired man rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Great… those idiots. Well that will make it more interesting, at least."

"Oh, and one more thing, if you wouldn't mind. Would you try and teach Mio some physical combat? While she's skilled with magic her hand-to-hand skills are lacking."

"I can handle that."

"I'm glad to hear that. I will meet you again in Kuoh then."

Nodding, he replied with a smirk, "Got it. Talk to ya later then, babe."

Dante proceeded to board a plane to Japan from America, then had to take a train to reach the rather remote town of Kuoh.

As he stepped off the train, he looked out at the town from above. "Been a while… This is still a pretty quiet little town. Which is good." As he walked down from the hill overlooking the area and into the city limits, he felt someone bump into him from the side before they fell. Turning to the side, he saw that it was a girl with fair skin, bright blue eyes, and long, waist-length, blonde hair and an impressive bust wearing a white, black, and red school uniform.

"Ow…" the blonde grumbled as she rubbed her round bottom in discomfort.

"You okay there, beautiful?" he asked as he reached out a hand to her.

"H – Huh?" she stammered before seeing her standing over him and stood briskly, brushing off her uniform before bowing formally. "Oh, sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going."

wasn't watching where I was going."

"Same here I guess. So where you rushin' to, beautiful?"

The blonde frowned slightly at him and took a subtle step back. "Hm? Oh, nowhere in particular, just home after school."

"Ah. Want help getting there?"

The blonde stiffened completely and began stepping away less subtly. "Um, no… I'm okay…"

Dante raised an eyebrow and then realized how the situation looked. "Uh, hey, I'm not –" before he could finish the girl ran off at top speed. Sighing in annoyance he looked around before wolf whistling to himself. "Well… that could have gone better. Still, if that's what all the girls of this town are like I hit the jackpot. And with no Lady around, I will enjoy it."

Continuing at his previous pace, he rubbed his chin in thought. "Now… where to go…? Hm… maybe I should stop by Iri's. After all, should check up on her and the rest."

Soon, Dante arrived in front of a rather large, but modestly-designed, home along a street of similar houses and looked around the exterior in thought. "Huh. Looks just like I remember." His nostalgia was interrupted as he heard two voices approaching.

"Hey, hurry up!" shouted a young girl with long, waist-length, silver-blonde hair, dark red eyes, and a plain brown and white school uniform rushing towards the house.

"I'm coming, I'm coming," retorted a girl with short orange hair tied to the side, riding on a bicycle and wearing the same uniform as the blonde who had run into Dante earlier.

Dante merely smiled as the two girls approached, the younger one stopping with eyes like saucers when she saw him.

"PAPA!" the young girl shouted as she sprinted towards Dante before leaping into his arms.

"Hey there, kiddo," Dante remarked with a smirk as he caught her. "You miss me, Illya?"

"You bet!"

The orange-haired girl also gaped in disbelief. "D – Dad!?"

"Yo, Shiro," Dante greeted, holding Illya on one arm. "What are you two up to?"

Shiro had to momentarily shake the confusion from her mind before she replied with excitement, "Just coming home from school. Why are you here? I thought you were still living in America!"

Dante merely shrugged and wrapped an arm around the girl as she ran up to and hugged him. "Something came up with a new job and it's right here in Kuoh."

Illya gasped with surprise before reining in her excitement slightly. "So, you'll be staying for a little while…?"

"More than likely I'll be here for a long while."

"Yay!" Illya exclaimed, letting her full excitement pour out.

Seconds later, a mature woman with the same, silky silver hair, ruby red eyes, and white skin as Illya, along with a curvy figure walked out of the house with confusion. "Illya? What's all the noise about?"

Illya leapt from Dante's grasp and over to the woman, pointing to Dante excitedly. "Papa's home!"

The woman looked ahead with thought before seeing Dante and gasping. "D – Darling…?!"

Dante waved with one hand and a smirk. "Yo, Iri."

"What? Dante?!" a girl with long, similarly colored hair and matching eyes, and a petite figure exclaimed as she walked out holding a basket of laundry alongside yet another woman with the same hair and eye color, though hers showed a much more melancholic expression and her hair was short and wavy rather than long and straight.

"Heya, Sella, Leysritt," Dante greeted before the short-haired woman, Leysritt, immediately dashed to him, her expression unchanging, as she reached out a hand. "Alright, alright," he urged before pulling a back from his jacket and dumping several large candies into her grasp, Leysritt popping several into her mouth. He glanced down and noticed that, despite her small height, she had a significant bust. "Well I see you've been eating well."

Leysritt merely continued eating the candies silently.

"What brings you here?" Iri interjected.

"A job. I'd like to talk with you about it. In private."

Illya pouted at the notion in his words. "Aw…"

Dante chuckled warmly and patted her head softly. "Don't worry, squirt, I'll give you some time later, but first is business."

"Okay…"

"Alright, how about this? I'll buy you your favorite pizza later."

"Yay!" the girl cheered, her demeanor completely changed.

As Sella and Leysritt led Shiro and Illya inside, Dante and Iri prepared to walk in as well when they were approached by Venelana, now in her white dress as opposed to the long cloak. "Ah, you made it."

Dante raised an eyebrow and turned to her with a whistle. "Damn you look good."

Venelana merely smirked slyly before looking at the building before her. "So this is where you will be staying?"

Dante nodded, at which point Venelana pulled a cellphone from her pocket and tapped on it several times, causing the man to raise an eyebrow in confusion.

"I just informed Mio of the location."

Dante nodded in understanding. "Right. Speaking of."

"She'll be home from school in a few minutes."

Iri looked to the brunette in thought. "Darling? Who is this?"

"Venelana Gremory. The one paying me to look after her niece," Dante explained.

"Oh, I see. Why don't we head inside to discuss this more?"

"Yes, that would be best," Venelana added, looking around suspiciously.

Once inside, the three sat around a coffee table as Sella passed out tea to the trio.

"So, how much are you being paid, if you don't mind me asking?" Iri asked before taking a small sip of her tea.

"Two million Macca," Venelana answered simply, causing Iri to spit her tea furiously, coughing in shock.

"Seriously?!"

Venelana tilted her head in mild confusion. "Is that really such an extravagant amount?"

Iri stiffened and shook her head fervently. "N – No! Not at all!"

"I see…" Venelana noted in thought.

After a few moments, the group heard a voice call out from the front door.

"A – Aunt Vene? Are you here?"

"I'm in here," Venelana called out.

Seconds later, two people walked into the room.

The first was a beautiful young woman with long, flowing red hair, two pieces tied in pigtails with black ribbons, her bangs hanging down, framing her face, and her fringe ended just between her dark pink eyes, wearing the same uniform as Shiro.

The second was a girl with waist-length, straight, silver hair with two large beads on the sides, bearing the symbols for male and female, and her straight-cut fringe ended just before her dark purple eyes, wearing a knee-length black dress with white fringe, a dark brown corset, a matching mantle over her shoulders with a keyhole-shaped buckle, black stockings, and tall, high-heeled, brown, platform boots.

The redhead looked at Venelana with joy. "Aunt Vene?"

"Mio," Venelana greeted as she stood up with a smile.

"Aunt Vene!" Mio cheered before rushing to the woman with a heavy hug. However, she stopped when she noticed Iri and Dante in the room.

"Yo," Dante greeted.

Mio blinked in confusion. "Who's this?"

"Name's Tony Redgrave, beautiful. This is my wife, Iri."

"I see…"

Venelana explained, "He'll be your legal guardian for a while. Don't worry, he's a family friend."

Mio nodded in apprehension before noticing the large guitar case at Dante's side. "Are you a musician?"

Dante shrugged in response. "I guess you could say that. It's for adults only though."

Mio frowned in confusion.

Dante then noticed the girl next to Mio. "Huh. Cute kid. And this must be your friend."

The petite girl smiled brightly with a formal bow. "I'm Maria Naruse, Mio's little sister."

Iri raised an eyebrow in confusion as she looked at the two. "You look nothing alike though."

Dante leaned close and whispered to her. "Apparently, she's just posing as the redhead's sister."

Iri, whispering as well, replied, "I see… She could have dyed her hair."

"What are you whispering about?" Mio asked with an annoyed pout.

"Nothing important, kid," Dante rebutted.

Mio twitched an eyebrow in response. "I'm not a kid…"

Venelana sighed and redirected, "So, for the time being Tony and his family will be taking care of the two of you, so try to get along with him."

"Right… I'll try…"

Dante snickered weakly. 'She could have worded that better…'

Iri frowned before Illya burst into the room, having listened in. "So, you're staying here for a while then?"

Mio nodded in slight confusion at the tiny girl. "Yes… I am."

Illya cheered with excitement. "Yay! New sister!"

Maria began giggling slyly as she looked at Illya. "So cute… so innocent…"

Dante immediately flicked the girl's nose, causing her to recoil.

Shiro then walked into the room in mild confusion. "Hey, Dad, what's all the –" she stopped dead when she saw Mio, "the hell!?"

"Shiro?" Mio asked in surprise.

"Naruse!? Why are you here!?"

"She's gonna be staying with us for a while," Dante explained, causing Shiro to blink in bewilderment.

"… O – Oh… Wait, is she the reason you're here?"

"Yes."

Illya put a finger on her chin. "Then she should stay here forever!"

"Eh?" Mio muttered.

Dante simply laughed. "That's the kinda thinkin' I'd expect from you, Illya. Wonder if ya got it from Iri or me."

Illya merely tilted her head in confusion.

"Cute…" Mio mumbled at the expression.

Dante merely chuckled before Iri remarked, "Why don't you two check out your rooms?"

"I'll show them!" Illya offered.

"That sounds like a good idea," Iri remarked.

"Great! Let's go!"

As the two followed Illya out into the hallway, Mio turned to Maria and quietly remarked, "I don't like him."

Maria, making sure Illya could not hear her as well, responded. "Oh? Why's that?"

"There's something weird about him…"

"Well that's obvious, but not necessarily a bad thing. Meh. Well if he's trouble we can always put him under mind control."

"Maybe…"

Later, Dante sat with the others in thought. "Hey… your school missing any faculty?"

Mio frowned suspiciously while Maria shrugged and answered, "You'd have to talk with the headmistress about that."

"Why do you want to know?" Mio questioned.

"Work," he replied plainly.

"Aren't you already being paid?"

"Yeah, but if I just sit around here all day I'll die if boredom. So why not grab work at your school? I get to have something to do and look after you all. Oh, and embarrass my daughter too."

Shiro gasped in horror.

"What? That's what dads do. They embarrass their children."

Iri merely giggled in amusement.

The next day, Dante followed, though far behind, the girls as they made their way to school, eventually stopping in front of it. "Hm… so this must be it. Nice." His attention was drawn away when he heard several loud gasps and turned to see almost the entire school looking in one direction at two people.

The first was a young woman in her late teens with a buxom figure, light skin, long, crimson red, waist-length hair with a single strand sticking up off her head, loose bangs covering her forehead and framing her face with blue-green eyes wearing the female Kuoh uniform with a mantle added on that fastened in the front just above her ample bosom.

The second was a young woman roughly the same age as Mio with long black hair tied in a ponytail that still managed to reach her ankles that had two long antennae sticking out and sloping backwards along with violet eyes and a bust even larger than anyone else's wearing a white, black, and red school uniform with a shawl and thigh-high stockings.

Dante whistled as he watched the beautiful duo walk into the school. "Black-haired beauty and spicy redhead. Damn. I am really going to like it here." However, he noticed another person nearby, a petite girl who appeared to be around fifteen, with short white hair with two slightly longer bangs going past her shoulders and several loose bangs around her forehead, while the back was in a short bob cut, along with hazel eyes, a black, cat-shaped clip on both sides of her hair, as well as the Kuoh Academy uniform, the variant without the shoulder-cape, and frowned slightly. '… Well, K is going to be interested in this place.'

"And who are you?" a new voice asked.

Dante spun on his heels and suppressed a gape as he saw a mature woman with long, hip-length, dark brown hair that had two strands sticking up from the top of her head, bangs hanging down over her forehead, parted in the center with a single lock hanging down between them, falling between her bright, emerald eyes, wearing red, half-frame glasses, an ankle-length, white lab coat, a sleeveless, turtleneck, green sweater with vertical stripes that greatly accentuated her wide bosom, a dark grey miniskirt with a slit up one side, nearly to her waist, thigh-high, dark brown stockings with black garters that disappeared under her skirt, and navy blue high-heeled shoes. "Tony Redgrave. And you, beautiful?" he asked with a poorly hidden grin.

Her expression unchanging, the woman answered him. "Chisato Hasegawa, the school's nurse. Do you need something?"

"Sure do. Here to see the Headmistress for a job."

"Miss Shitori?" she asked, slightly raising an eyebrow in intrigue.

"I guess. If that's her name."

"Her office is this way," Chisato motioned.

"Thanks. Lead the way, babe," Dante answered, noting the small twitch in her expression at his remark.

Eventually, Chisato led Dante to a room at the center of the school high above the rest.

Opening the door, Dante could barely hold back his gape when he saw the person at the headmistress' desk, a petite young woman with long, flowing black hair tied in twintails, dark pink eyes, and clad in a green suit with dark green skirt, her petite figure broken up by her voluptuous bust. "You've got to be joking."

The woman looked up from her desk and gaped. "D – Dante…? DANTE!" she cheered before leaping over the desk, tackling him with a tight hug.

Dante merely chuckled as he stumbled back slightly, patting her head. "How ya doin', Serafall?"

Chisato, with nary a change in her countenance, interjected, "I thought your name was Tony Redgrave."

Serafall raised her head from him and gave him a deadpan look. "You're using that cheesy alias again?"

"Hheeyy… it's not cheesy and you know it, half-pint."

Serafall pouted and stood up, shamelessly pulling open her shirt and allowing her breasts to sway freely. "Hey! I'll have you know I've grown at least a full cup size in the last decade!"

"Oh? Nice to know." Reaching a hand over the desk, the white-haired man grabbed a handful of her cleavage. "Huh, so you have. Wonder if they have the same ol' taste," he remarked before flicking them with his finger, causing the ravenette to tremble with a soft moan.

"What… the… hell…?" a new, dumbfounded voice protested.

Confused, Dante turned to the doorway to the office and saw a young woman with short black hair in a bob cut, violet eyes, a slim figure, and wearing the female Kuoh uniform, a black mantle with white trim added on top, along with rounded, violet-colored spectacles. "Hmm? Who's the cutie?" However, after a moment he turned to Serafall, who had quickly closed her top, and looked between her and the new girl, noticing the similarities. "Please tell me I didn't get you pregnant and you never told me…"

Serafall almost fell to the floor and stammered, "N – No! This is Sona, my little sister!"

Dante blinked and then sighed in relief. "Oh, good. She's cute." Comparing the two, he added, "Though, emphasis on little."

Sona twitched an eyebrow and raised a hand.

Outside, two students groaned as they sat on the lawn.

"Man, I'm bored…" one complained.

"Ye –" the second added before he was interrupted by a loud explosion.

"What the hell was that!?" the duo shouted in shock.

Dante coughed as he waved the smoke away. "Well… that was sparky. And here I thought your family was all wet and no sparks."

Serafall sighed and patted a fire on one of her bows with a small laugh. "S – Sona-Tan can… control water in all forms…"

"Ah… bet she doesn't do ice cream sundaes like you do, though."

Sona, her composure as initially presented, had quickly melted away entirely as she snarled, "How can you let a little pervert like this into the school, Sister!?"

Serafall pouted as she waved a hand, the damage to the room disappearing with flashes of light. "Hhheeeyyy! Don't call my boyfriend a little pervert! He's a Super Pervert!"

Chisato and Sona both remained silent for a moment before remarking in unison, "… What?"

"He's a sup –"

"Not. That," Sona corrected with a dangerous scowl.

"Then what?"

"He is your boyfriend?"

Wiping soot off his coat, Dante nodded to himself. "Nice, no marks. Huh? Sorry, what about me?"

Serafall merely nodded proudly to Sona. "Yep! Been together for… how many centuries?"

Dante raised an eyebrow and rubbed his chin in thought. "I think at least four."

"Huh… felt longer than that."

Dante just shrugged. "There were a lot of drunk nights in there, so my math might be off."

Serafall noticed Sona's completely spent expression with mild worry. "… Sona-Tan?"

"I suppose he's perfect for you," Sona snapped, her original composure mostly returned before she slammed the door shut and stormed off.

Dante just watched in mild surprise. "Huh… I don't think your sister likes me."

Serafall laughed weakly in apology. "She generally doesn't like anyone who isn't as stuffy as she is."

"She needs to loosen up. Anyway, headmistress, huh?"

Serafall nodded proudly. "Yup. It's an easy job. Except for the paperwork," she stated that last sentence with a heavy sigh.

Dante chuckled before looking around the office. "Then get a secretary. Anyway, I can see us having lots of fun in this room."

Serafall smirked brightly with confidence. "I've already prepared the sound-proofing and even put a drain under my desk. It's why the room slopes down a little in the center."

"Nice, always thinking ahead," Dante added, patting her head.

Serafall giggled happily before changing the subject. "Right… so, why are you here?"

"Simple. I am looking for a job and always felt I'd be great at torturing, I mean tutoring, students."

"Huh? Why? Aahh, I think I get it. You're the one Vene picked."

Dante nodded as he flopped down onto one of the office's chairs. "Yep. And she's shelling out two million Macca a month."

Serafall grumbled in frustration. "Damn, that family's rich. Guess it pays to be the duke's daughter."

Dante was rather surprised by that remark. "Huh? I thought the Gremory where barons or marquis?"

"They are. But Venelana isn't a Gremory per say. She's actually a Bael, and married the head of the Gremory clan, Zeoticus."

Dante raised an eyebrow in recognition. "Ooohhh. That… actually explains quite a lot. Especially why she is a brunette."

Serafall then redirected the conversation. "So what kinda work are you wanting?"

Dante put a hand on his chin in thought. "Hm… how about gym? I heard they wear sexy bloomers here in Japan."

"Sure! I can do that."

Shortly later, Mio sighed as she walked down the halls of the school when she saw Dante walking with Serafall and hid behind a corner.

Dante looked around at the students as he walked next to Serafall. "The girls of this school sure are fine. There are so many of them, and just about all of them are big like Trish." As he said that, however, he noticed a tanned girl with dark brown hair down the hall and whistled quietly. "Some are even bigger. And very well-toned. Very nice."

"Is there a reason you're looking at my students like that?" a new, somewhat irritated, voice asked.

Dante turned to the source and saw a tall, buxom woman with long, wavy purple hair tied in a folded ponytail at the back with two long locks hanging down, framing her face, accentuating her dark red eyes, wearing a white, frilly blouse with long sleeves and a wide neck that revealed a large portion of her voluptuous bust, including the mole on her right breast, along with a small portion of her black, lacy bra underneath, a short, form-hugging black skirt with a small slit up the right side, black high-heeled shoes, and long, thigh-high stockings with lacy black garters visible at the edges of the skirt, along with frameless, squared glasses, and whistled as he looked her over.

Deciding he should stop leering and answer her, he responded, "Looking over them to see what kind of exercises I should put them through."

That caused the woman to raise an intrigued eyebrow.

Serafall introduced them. "This is our new gym teacher, Da –" she began before Dante put a hand over her mouth.

"Name's Tony Redgrave, beautiful," the man answered quickly.

The purple-haired beauty frowned slightly in confusion. "I see… I am Suzune, one of the homeroom teachers."

"… With a body like that? Really? With a body like yours I thought you taught something physical."

"I don't," she answered curtly before turning to leave.

"Nice ass," he added swiftly, causing Suzune to stop for a moment and consider responding before simply leaving. "So… a new Piece, Sera?"

"Nah, she's not one of mine," Serafall answered.

Mio, hiding nearby, frowned in confusion. "Piece…? Wait, does he know about that…?"

Dante raised an eyebrow before looking around. "Did you hear that?"

Serafall raised an eyebrow in thought. "Huh? Hear what?"

"Nothing, I guess. Later."

"Okay!" Serafall cheered as he walked away.

Mio peeked out from behind the corner once more and sighed in relief as she saw Dante was gone before turning around to find him standing directly in front of her.

"Yo," he remarked plainly, causing the redhead to shriek cutely. "So, why are you hiding from me?"

"I – I don't know you!" Mio stammered before sprinting away from him.

"Well… that was odd. This is starting out well…"

Elsewhere, Sona sighed as she walked into a large room and was greeted by a young woman with long black hair, a moderate bosom, and mismatched eyes, one violet and the other brown, and a pair of frameless glasses. However, when Sona looked past her into the room she paled and then looked at the woman, annoyed. "… Tsubaki… where is my pizza…?"

"What?" Tsubaki answered in confusion before turning to the desk behind her. "It's right over… huh… it's gone? But… it was right there…"

Sona's eyes began glowing angrily. "Find the monster that did this and make them pay."

Back in Serafall's office, Dante looked over several papers as the petite woman hung over his shoulders. "Hm… this seems pretty simple. Good. Simple I can do." Taking a bite of a pizza, he questioned, "So I just need to keep them in shape and pick a sport to train them in?"

Taking a slice of the pizza from him, she nodded. "Yep!"

Dante rubbed his chin in consideration. "How about mud wrestling?"

Serafall shook her head with a frown. "Sorry. We tried that a few years ago and got in some legal trouble."

"Damn… sword fighting?"

"The school's kendo club already does that."

"Ah… dodgeball?"

Serafall raised an eyebrow as she thought it over before shrugging. "That's an option. Just have to make sure they're good enough to compete in regional tournaments."

"Right," he replied before grinning maniacally, "Don't worry. I watched a movie."

"Porn doesn't count," Serafall retorted, knocking him on the head lightly.

Dante shot her a faux-insulted frown. "Not everything I watch is porn. Just most of it."

"Hm… How about club advisor?"

"Oh? Advisor?"

"Yes. Each teacher acts as an advisor to at least one club."

"Huh… what club would be good for me to advise?"

"Hm… how about the Occult Research Club? It currently doesn't have an advisor and given their activities you don't have to do much. Plus, it's the one Mio's in."

"Sounds good. Can't let some li'l kids accidentally summon a big bad demon."

"Right…"

Soon, Serafall led Dante to a large, slightly decrepit building behind the school. "This is the old school room where they're based in."

Dante looked around before nodding to himself. "Ah. Nice and creepy. Keeps with old devil clichés."

Serafall shrugged with a chuckle. "Some things never change, I guess."

"Like you and C?"

Serafall puffed her cheeks before her twintails twitched angrily. "I thought we agreed to forget that!?"

"Must have forgotten that agreement."

Serafall merely puffed her cheeks further.

"You're cute when you're angry," he commented, poking one of her cheeks.

Serafall's puffed cheeks shifted to a pout. "So when will Fran and the rest show up?"

Dante just shrugged. "No idea. Trish is back at base and will tell them where I am when they each finish their jobs."

"Right… Well, let's go in."

As they moved down the creaky halls of the school building, Dante looked around curiously. "So, where's the actual club room?"

"Right this way!" Serafall chirped before swinging open two large doors to a large room with several occupants inside.

The first was the blonde he had run into before, the second the petite girl he had seen on his way into the school, the third and fourth were the beauties he had seen first.

Clasping his hands together, he looked upward. "… Thank you…"

The redhead looked at Serafall in surprise. "Lady Sera –?"

Serafall interrupted her with a pout and wagged her finger. "No, no, Rias."

The redhead winced as her face flushed before she sighed. "… M –… Miss Levia-Tan…"

Dante turned to Serafall with a deadpan expression. "Seriously? Levia-Tan? You still go by that?"

Serafall folded her arms with a huff. "You're one to talk 'Tony Redgrave'. Besides, it's cute!"

"Rriigghhtt. It got old way back in the pirate years."

Serafall merely puffed her cheeks in adorable obstinance.

"Ahem," Rias coughed, interrupting their flirting. "So who is this?" she questioned before taking a sip of her tea.

Dante gave a nonchalant wave and answered, "Tony Redgrave. Sera's boyfriend."

Rias nearly spat out her drink in surprise. "You're what!?"

"Boyfriend," Dante and Serafall answered in unison.

"Why is everyone so surprised by that?" Dante grumbled.

"No clue," Serafall replied with a dismissive shrug before turning her attention to Rias' group. "Anyway, he's our new physed teacher and this club's advisor."

Rias looked at Serafall in surprise. "… Eh?"

"What?"

"I… thought we weren't getting one?"

"Well things have changed. Things change. Especially after big things happen."

"I see…" Rias muttered before she noticed Dante had been staring at her the entire time.

"What?" Serafall questioned, prodding him.

"She looks like Vene," Dante answered plainly.

"You know my mother?" Rias asked with surprise.

"In a way. Wait, mother?"

"Yes," the redhead answered with mild confusion.

'… Hot damn.' "Well you look as hot as her."

Rias blinked in bewilderment. "Um… thank you?"

"I also know your cousin."

"Fufu," the black-haired beauty giggled in amusement.

"Yes, sadie angel?" Dante asked with a pointed smirk.

The busty beauty raised an eyebrow with a mix of concern and surprise but returned to her standard smile before bowing, causing her rack to shift pleasingly as she did. "Hm? I am Akeno Himejima."

"Jiggly."

Rias frowned before turning her attention to Serafall. "Are you certain this is a good idea?"

Serafall nodded fervently. "Yep! It's better than having a human as your advisor, isn't it?"

"… I guess… wait, what?"

"What?"

"You mean… he's not?"

Dante groaned and slapped his hand over his face. "And she calls herself a Devil… Most devils are able to detect each other. Guessing Zechs doesn't talk about me much."

Rias stiffened and slightly pouted in response. "Not my fault I was focusing on combat…"

"And now you're being cute," he chuckled. "Wonder if Mio can be cute like that."

Rias sighed before noticing something he had said. "Wait, you know my brother too? How is it that you know my family and I've never heard of you…?"

"Zechs probably doesn't talk about me much because of the whole Lucifer debacle. And Grayfia… huh. Why hasn't my Queen talked about me?"

"… Your Queen…?"

"Yeah. I have her in Hell as a point of contact to me."

Rias merely blinked in growing befuddlement. "I… had always assumed she was in my brother's Peerage…"

"… Why the hell'd you assume that?"

"Because she's the head maid and my mother is… was, my father's Queen."

"Ah… But I think I'll like it here. After all, I get to look over three busty babes and a cute kid."

"I'm not a kid," the white-haired girl retorted.

"Now, now, no need to be rude, Koneko," Rias eased.

"Yeah, Shiro," Dante teased.

"Please don't taunt her," the blonde finally spoke up.

"Ah, you're the chick who ran into me before."

"Is that true, Yumi?" Rias questioned.

"Y – Yes, ma'am…" the blonde stuttered.

Dante waved a hand dismissively. "Don't roast her over it. It's not a big deal."

"So he'll be your advisor. I hope you get along!" Serafall urged, trying to defuse the situation before it got worse.

"Oh I'm sure we will."

Later, after the day had ended, Dante sat in a diner with Mio and Maria, the white-haired man eating a sundae and noticing Mio frowning at him. "Somethin' wrong, Red? Want one?"

"Why did you show up at the school like that?" Mio asked, annoyed.

Dante sighed and shrugged. "I told you, I'm getting a job there. And so I did. Oh, and in case your cousin didn't say anything, I'm your club's advisor. So we'll be seeing each other a lot more. I'm also your new physed teacher."

Mio simply sat with silent objection before slumping in her seat, unintentionally planting her head in her cleavage.

"Preferred pillows huh? What's the problem, don't like being in shape?"

"Shut up…"

"Okay. So… how close are you and your cousin?"

Mio sighed and looked up at him, exhausted and frustrated. "Huh?"

"You and Rias. How well do you get along?"

Frowning at the question and thinking for a moment, Mio shrugged. "Good, I guess… she's like a sister to me… and a rival."

"Oh?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

Nodding, Mio continued. "Ever since I started learning combat magic, we wound up pushing each other to get stronger."

"Sounds like a healthy sibling rivalry to me. Guess I'm not the one to ask what a healthy sibling relationship is like, though."

"Huh?"

Dante sighed before giving a light shrug. "I have a twin brother. We… don't see eye-to-eye, to put it mildly."

"Oh…" Mio muttered somberly.

"Why not?" Maria asked curiously.

Dante rubbed his chin in consideration. "Hm… let's just call it fundamental differences of opinion."

"Okay…?"

"Any other questions?"

Mio remained silent for a moment, thinking to herself, before staring directly at Dante. "… Who are you…?"

"Tony Redgrave. I'm pretty sure we introduced each other when we met."

Mio twitched an eyebrow with a disappointed frown.

"Yes?"

"That's not what I meant…"

"Well that's my answer."

"Whatever…" she grumbled.

"I want him out," Mio urged to Maria after the three returned home.

Maria tilted her head curiously. "Why, Mio-Sama?"

"I don't like him. He's creepy. And now he's going to be a teacher at my school."

Maria put a finger on her chin in thought. "Um… I don't see the problem. He seems fine to me. A little perverted but that's okay!"

"No it's not!"

"Why not? It's not like he's trying to bed you."

"You're not worried he'll do something?"

Without a second's pause, Maria answered. "No. Tony doesn't seem like that kind of person. He might make some rude comments, but I don't think he'd try anything if he didn't think it was wanted. Besides, do you really think your loving aunt would put you in the care of someone who'd take advantage of you? Beyond that, we're outnumbered here. Do you really think we can force him out?"

Mio sighed in frustration. "… I – I see…"

In the family room, Illya sat in front of the television when she noticed Maria and Mio leaving the house.

"Are you sure you want to do this, Mio-Sama?" Maria asked, concerned as the duo walked away.

Mio merely nodded firmly.

"I understand. We'll find a new location for our headquarters. Even though I think it's a bad idea. Plus, I thought you'd at least try to make Illya a Servant-Devil before we left."

Mio shook her head in response. "I can't take the risk that they'll come after us for her. Besides, I don't trust that man. He's been lying to us."

"And we haven't?"

Mio did not have an answer to that.

Maria just sighed. "But, if that's what you want, then let's go. Are you going to tell your aunt?"

"Once we find somewhere else I will."

As the duo continued to walk, Mio simply sighed, causing Maria to turn to her with interest. "Somethi –?" she began before stopping dead and stepping in front of Mio.

"Huh? Maria?"

"Mio-Sama, stay back!"

Two demonic beasts appeared in front of the duo.

Mio narrowed her eyes and raised her arms. "This shouldn't be too much to handle…"

Large gauntlets appeared on Maria's arms. "Stay back! Don't let your guard down!"

The first beast growled before charging at Maria, who easily blocked its claws and then sent it flying.

Mio created a ball of red energy in her hand and threw at the second beast, obliterating it. However, as soon as she did, many more of the creatures appeared.

One shot a blast of energy at Maria who batted it away before retaliating with a shot of her own, killing it.

However, after a moment, a massive shadow formed on the ground before a tall, cloaked monster with a skull and huge scythe emerged, bearing down on the girls.

"Wh – What the hell is that!?" Mio exclaimed in disbelief.

Maria paled and backed up to Mio. "M – Mio-Sama! We've got to retreat!"

However, as the duo turned to run, three more of the reapers appeared from the ground and surrounded them.

Maria began trembling and raised her arms. "M – Mio-Sama… run! I'll try and h –!" she was cut off when one of the reapers impaled her with its scythe.

Mio's face went white with horror. "MARIA!"

"Mio-Sama… run…"

Mio stood frozen in fear as the second reaper raised its scythe to strike her, only for the monster's head to explode violently before it collapsed to the ground and evaporated. "E – Eh?"

Dante, with a large white pistol in his right hand, the barrel smoking, sighed as he walked towards the area. "Man… you two really are a handful."

"H – Huh? Tony?"

Another of the reapers lunged at him, only for Dante to lazily backhand the creature. "Geez, what a pain."

Mio merely watched in bewildered wonder.

"Guess it's showtime."

"Wh – What? I thought you were a musician?"

"That wasn't exactly true," Dante answered as he slammed the guitar case on the ground, the latches opening to reveal a massive, dual-edged sword, the hilt resembling the torso of human with a horned skull. Grabbing the sword, Dante smirked at the reapers. "But this baby here makes some sweet sounds."

As the remaining reapers charged, Dante grinned with excitement. "Alright, let's rock!"

The second reaper launched several balls of energy at Dante which he easily batted away with the broad side of his sword, pulled a black pistol from his coat and fired, hitting the beast in the shoulder and knocking it back.

The third and fourth reapers flanked him and charged, their scythes high.

Dante dodged up over the attacks and kicked the third reaper in the head, knocking it to the side. "Come on, give me a real challenge! Because this party has barely started, and I want to bust some moves! And you're boring me to tears!"

The fourth reaper fired multiple blasts as the second reaper once again charged at him.

Dante effortlessly shot down each blast, grabbed the second reaper by the head, slammed it against the ground, stabbed his sword into its torso, jumped on its back, and then kicked off, sliding along the ground on the beast's back.

The other two reapers prepared to attack only for Dante to pull out both of his pistols.

"You've met Rebellion, now meet Ebony and Ivory!" he shouted before filling each demon with bullets, slammed his foot down, and then pulled Rebellion forward, carving the demon it was impaled into in half, killing the remaining creatures.

Mio gaped in disbelief as the beasts evaporated, Dante stowing his weaponry.

"Damn. Party's over."

Mio then immediately ran over to the injured Maria. "Maria! Maria!"

"She'll be fine. She's a Rook, right?"

"Wait, how do you know…?"

"Because, I've got two of my own. Rooks, I mean. And both are pretty damn sturdy."

Maria then stood with a weak laugh and motioned to her abdomen, where her clothing was still torn, but her wound was completely gone. "S – See, Mio-Sama? The injury's healed already."

"Not completely," Dante argued. "You're just lucky those things were aiming to capture, not to kill. Otherwise they would've hit something vital."

Mio turned to Maria with a frown before sighing. "We'll discuss this later, Maria." Mio then stood and turned her attention to Dante with a stern frown, causing the man to raise an eyebrow in curiousity.

"Somethin' up?"

"Who are you, really?"

Dante sighed before running a hand through his hair. "Guess I can't really keep up the act after that. How about I tell you that at home? That pizza I ordered should be there any minute, and I really don't want Liz to eat the entire thing before we get home."

"Right…"

"So, that aside, you okay?"

Mio blinked in confusion. "… Y – Yes…"

"Good," he answered simply before storing Rebellion.

"H – Huh?"

"What?"

"You're not mad…?"

"For what?" Dante asked as he slung his guitar case over his back.

"That we… you know… tried to leave."

He just shrugged. "You're a teenager, even Devils are rebellious at that age. So don't worry."

"But… I kept insulting you and –"

"I said don't worry about it. You're not the first babe to yell at me, and you're not the last, I'm sure. But I am your guardian, so next time," he paused to flick her on the forehead, "don't sneak out without telling me. Got it? Now let's get going before the pizza boy gets there."

Dante and the others arrived at home to see Leysritt glaring daggers at Sella, who held the box of pizza out of the girl's reach. "Oh boy…" he muttered. "Might I know what's going on here?"

Sella, keeping Leysritt away with her foot, turned in surprise. "Dante!? You're home! And the delivery man arrived and Leysritt nearly took his arm off taking the pizzas. I wanted make sure she didn't eat all of them before everyone was here to eat it." She then saw Mio and Maria behind him. "So those two are okay then?"

"Yeah. They got ambushed by a bunch of Hell Vanguards and Maria took a blade to the gut."

Sella gasped in shock. "What?! Does she need any healing!?"

Dante shook his head in response. "No, she should recover in a bit. Liz. Stop bugging Sella and I'll give you some American chocolates."

"Fine…" Liz pouted before stepping away from Sella.

Mio stepped towards Sella and took in the smell of the pizzas with surprise. "It… smells so good…"

"And tastes great too," Dante added. "Never had pizza before?"

Mio stiffened before frowning slightly. "U – Um, no… my family gave me a strict diet to make sure I'm in top health, so I didn't have stuff like this."

"Then try it. It's the best food you'll ever eat. Today you get to enjoy the better things in life."

Shortly after, Sella set the table and handed out slices of the food to everyone.

Mio looked over one of the warm slices of pizza in front of her, the cheese literally dripping off the edges as steam rose from its surface and then took a hefty bite, squealing softly before turning red that she had done so.

And fin! Thus ends the first chapter of Devil's Luck. Hopefully everyone enjoyed it, be sure to let me know if you did. If you were confused, unsure, or just had questions on anything, let me know with a review and I will do what I can to address your concerns in the next chapter's reviewer response. Though if your questions involve future events or spoilers of any kind, I will not be able to answer them in full here, since not everyone is okay with spoilers. In that case, a PM may serve you better. If you did not like the chapter though, that is fine. Though if you must voice your concerns, I have but two requests: have a point and possibly even a recommendation for improvement, and be able to string more than three words together in a sentence. Right, nothing else to blather about, so until next time, bye-bye!
