Y/n P.o.v

I came up with something on a whim. I booped her nose and backed away.

Y/n: "JOKING!!!" I started laughing like crazy. I held my stomach and wiped away a fake tear. "YA'LL HAVE TO SEE THE LOOK ON YOUR FACES!!!" I kept on laughing until I started to calm down. "Oh my. Whoo. Seriously, it's priceless." I looked at Sona-chan and winked real quick. She understood.

Sona: "Always the tease. That's another cleaning the whole school for a week." I shrugged.

Y/n: "It was worth it!" I looked at Serafall, and she was looking for words. "Sorry, Lady Leviathan. But it was a good opportunity I couldn't miss." She quickly came to me and smacked my head with her stick. 

Serafall: "You big meanie!!! I was ready to send you to Hell and back!!!" I rubbed my head and wince. She smacked me pretty hard.

Y/n: "Yeah. I believe you." She turned away.

I looked back at Sona-chan, and she nodded. I turned to the others and saw Ann still giving me a knowing smirk. She knew I was lying, and I was not going to hear the end of it. Kala sighed. After that little dilemma, Sona-chan kept chastising her sister to the point that it made her cry and left with both Serafall and Yoshi following. 

Asia: "He's going to have it rough, right?" I nodded.

Rias: "All Four Devil Kings are like that."

Y/n: "Too casual?" She nodded.

Rias: "It's a pain." We started walking our way to the main building. "I was surprised that you blurted out the word like that." I sighed.

Y/n: "I felt the immense pressure, and it came out like that. I was going to say knight, but meh."

Rias: "So, you finally decided to join her peerage?" She sounded a little bit jealous of it.

Y/n: "You already know the answer to that. I'm tired of repeating myself."

Rias: "I'm not." I sighed. "In fact, you should voice out your opinions more." I looked at her with grimace.

Y/n: "I voice my opinion every time! That you want to hear the sound of my voice more often is a totally different case!" She smirked.

Rias: "Well, if you can-"

Y/n: "Shut it!" I saw Issei looking at us with jealousy. 

I shook my head and looked forward. Her doing all this flirting in front of him really isn't gonna be good. Even though both of them aren't anything, he still has feeling for her. And her trying to do her own harem isn't right. It just feels wrong. 'One can be the key to many locks, but not be the lock to many keys.' Those were my thoughts.

We reached the main building, and Issei has been called to what I assumed to be his father. Beside him was a young man with red hair like Rias. If it wasn't Sirzechs, then it was her father. It was confirmed when she called him so.  He turned to me.

Mr. Gremory: "It is nice to finally meet you, Mr. L/n." I was surprised that he knew me. 

Y/n: "It is an honor, Mr. Gremory." He chuckled.

Mr. Gremory: "Please, call me Zeoticus. There is no need for formalities."

Y/n: "In that case, just call me Y/n." I smiled and offered my hand. He took it and shook it. 

Zeoticus: "I am guessing that you haven't joined my daughter's club." I shook my head.

Y/n: "I have not, sir. She is persistent, but I guess that runs in the family, huh?" He laughed.

Zeoticus: "That's my daughter, alright. When she doesn't get what she wants, she fights for it." 

Rias: "DAD!" Embarrassing his daughter in front of her friends, I like this guy already.

Zeoticus: "Well, as much as I want to keep talking, I believe that your parents are waiting for you." I shook my head.

Y/n: "My mother isn't here. She's doing some other business."

Zeoticus: "Ah. And your father?"

Y/n: "He... isn't here." I didn't know what else to say. I didn't know if my real father was dead or alive.

Zeoticus: "My apologies. May I ask something, if you don't mind?" I nodded. "Can you let go of my hand?" My eyes widened and looked down. I let go of him. I scratched the back of my head.

Y/n: "Sorry about that."

Zeoticus: "No need. I'm glad to see that my daughter is in good hands. Firm hands."

Rias: "DAAAAAD!!!" She was embarrassed.

Y/n: "I'm sure you're misunderstanding wha-"

Zeoticus: "Oh. Were you not the one who interrupted the party while barging through the doors?"

Y/n: "That was more Issei over here." I said while signaling to said person. "I was more afterward."

Zeoticus: "Yet, you help. I am relieved that she's happy."

Y/n: "Not to sound like I'm a nosy guy, but wasn't it like arranged or something to... you know... political or like for the business to thrive?"

Zeoticus: "It was. But, there have been no repercussions or animosities amongst ourselves. We have agreed that if anything is to happen, we must help each other as long as everyone who is involved agrees to the terms. If not, we must find another solution to reach a consensus."

Y/n: "That is way better than doing some stupid arranged marriage."

Issei: "Does he know who he is talking to?" He sounded shocked.

Asia: "He really doesn't care, does he?"

Rias: "Y/n! He-" Zeoticus raised his hand to stop her. 

Zeoticus: "I don't mind someone who voices their opinion." He lowered it and kept his eyes on me. "I actually respect it. As you know, our situation is dire. Our decision was for the best for our families, and it was a last-minute arrangement. However, since my son chose to hold up an event to help in my daughters case, nobody dared to oppose it. Seeing the outcome brought some discomfort amongst some families. Personally, I say good job."

Y/n: "Thanks?" He chuckled.

Zeoticus: "Do not ponder on it too much, Y/n. If anything, I would like to thank you. Both of you." I was confused. "From what I've been told, Rias has been happier with this outcome. All I ever wanted was for my daughter to thrive for when her time came. You helped us see that happiness and learning from experience is better than trying to control the lives that aren't ours. Thank you." I nodded.

Y/n: "You're welcome." He turned back to Issei's parents and kept on talking about having a drink at their house. I was pulled back by Rias.

Rias: "I can't believe you!"

Y/n: "What?"

Rias: "You just talked to my father like that!"

Y/n: "We were having an adult conversation. I'm just glad he took it pretty well."

Sirzechs: "He did." I turned and saw him walking down the stairs, then towards us. "And I'm seeing that we are having a family slumber party."

Rias: "Oh no." He chuckled and turned to me.

Sirzechs: "I must say, I didn't expect anyone to talk to my father like that."

Y/n: "It was that one time that I said it how it was supposed to be said."

Sirzechs: "And he took a liking to you because of it. You are going places, Y/n."

Y/n: "Buddy, I don't swing that way."

Rias: "Y/N!" He laughed.

Sirzechs: "It's alright, little sister. It is refreshing not being treated as a lord and more as a person." He turned to me. "May I speak with you for a moment, Y/n?" I was confused and nodded. We walked outside and had a small spot for ourselves.

Y/n: "Whatever it was, It was Issei's idea!" He chuckled.

Sirzechs: "I'm sure it was. But, more into important matters." He sounded serious. "I wish to speak about what happened the other night with the Fallen Angel, Kokabiel. It seemed like something happened to you during the events. How are you feeling?" He must've been talking about my family situation. Rias couldn't keep her mouth shut. "It is not about your family." I was shocked. He could read minds? "Your thoughts are loud. But, I'm more concerned about the power you obtained."

Y/n: "You mean the Devil Holy Sword? It was more of Kiba's sword. He threw it to me, and I just let it out."

Sirzechs: "Do you know the meaning of it?" I shook my head.

Y/n: "Something about me being more than meets the eye, I guess. Azazel said something about that, but he couldn't tell me." He was confused.

Sirzechs: "You've met the leader of the Fallen Angels. I'm assuming because of your Fallen Angel friend." I nodded. "Did he tell you what the meaning behind it was?" I shook my head.

Y/n: "It was more like he couldn't because he seemed afraid of my mother. I wish someone would tell me, but it seems like I'm not getting answers until my mother decides to."

Sirzechs: "Lilliana, I presume." I sighed and nodded.

Y/n: "Even the great Devil King knows her. I'm guessing you can't tell me either."

Sirzechs: "Being a well-known alchemist of sorts made her famous in the supernatural world." I shook my head. "I'm truly sorry that I can't provide more information."

Y/n: "You don't have to be. The one at fault is her for keeping a secret from me."

Sirzechs: "She has kept you a secret for good reason." I looked at him confused. "Especially since she was in a relationship with the son of Sparda. If word got out that you were here, a lot of beings would've been after you. But, since you have displayed power, that you can handle yourself, and that you are under the protection of the House of Gremory, they haven't done anything."

Y/n: "I-"

Sirzechs: "No need to say it. I understand where you stand with my sister and the name, but I made sure that it seemed that way. It is a little... uncalled for, but it is for a good reason." I nodded, not wanting to discuss it anymore. "Speaking of your standing with my sister, how is that going?" He had a knowing smirk.

Y/n: "Dammit. Me and your sister have nothing. It's just her and Issei."

Sirzechs: "Not from where I'm standing."

Y/n: "Which is right in front of me." He laughed.

Sirzechs: "All I'm saying is, my sister is having a little dilemma. I had it as well." I smirked.

Y/n: "Oh, you have to tell me that story."

Sirzechs: "I will. All I'm saying is, whatever choice my sister takes, make sure to support it."

Y/n: "She has to make up her mind soon... Not that I'm eager about it because I'm not interested in her. She made the poor choice to only use me for her own gains or call me whenever she needs something."

Sirzechs: "Isn't that a way of saying that she relies on you most than on others who are closer to her?"

Y/n: "Don't use this reverse psychology, or whatever it is called, on me." He laughed again. "Seriously, ya'll are looking at this deeper than it is. This thing, that you are imagining about me and Rias, it's never gonna happen."

Sirzechs: "Never say never, Y/n."

Y/n: "Alright, Justin Bieber, chill out." He chuckled.

Sirzechs: "When it happens..."

Y/n: "As if it will happen."

Sirzechs: "...take care of her." I shook my head. "I'll be on my way. Take care, Y/n."

Y/n: "You too." Seriously, what's wrong with this people. They think that me and Rias are going to be something more. What a laugh. Ann and Kala came to me, ready to leave.

Ann: "So, you had a chat with the King of Demons."

Y/n: "They are Devils, not demons. There's a difference."

Ann: "I don't see it."

Kala: "Are Angels and Fallen Angels the same?" 

Ann: "Nooo, but-"

Y/n: "There you have it. Some lore are different than the ones we are raised with." I looked behind them and saw Xenovia looking my way. She was with the rest of the ORC. "Let's go home, shall we?" They nodded. I turned around and started leaving.

???: "Hey there, cowboy!" I turned and saw the only girl who had the accent leaning on her van with a cigarette on her mouth. "Missed me?" I rolled my eyes with a smile.

Y/n: "Good to see you too, Nico."

Nico: "No hug for me?" I scoffed, took her cigarette, put it out, and hugged her. "That was my last one, you ass!" 

Y/n: "You already smell like one." We separated, and I opened the door. 

Nico: "And who is this young lady? Not you, Lady."

Y/n: "She is Kala. She lives with me."

Nico: "Oh, already went to second base with him!?"

Kala: "Almost, but he fainted in the process." They all got in the van. It was pretty big that a couple of people could sleep in it. It had couches and everything.

Nico: "HA! Pussy!" She got on the drivers seat.

Y/n: "Up yours, Nico!" She turned it on, the music was on the jukebox, and she started driving.

Nico: "Guessing home, eh?" I turned to Ann.

Y/n: "Why are you guys here?"

Ann: "Nero sent us to keep an eye on you. He never went into full detail why."

Y/n: "Bet he didn't."

Nico: "So, he knows about the name and all?"

Ann: "He does, but there's more to it." She explained to Nico about them not being my family and all.

Nico: "Damn. Didn't expect that. If it helps, I never had a good thing with my dad, and all I got was his looks."

Y/n: "No wonder you look like shit." She flipped me off.

Nico: "Do I still have my bunk?" I nodded.

Y/n: "Your name is still on it."

Nico: "Good! Because if it wasn't, I was going to make you clean my baby."

Y/n: "You got a vehicle, you handle it. It's not my problem."

Nico: "I'd give you money for it."

Ann: "How much are we talking about?"

Nico: "Twenty bucks."

Y/n: "Shove those twenty bucks where the sun doesn't shine."

Nico: "It's the minimum."

Ann: "How much is the max?"

Nico: "Twenty with one cent." I rolled my eyes.

Kala: "So, these are the people you grew up with." I nodded.

Y/n: "Yep. As you already know, we are a weird bunch."

Nico: "Who are you calling weird, weirdo? I'm the most normal person in the world."

Ann: "I'm wondering what you call normal?" I scoffed.

Y/n: "You already know Mary Ann, also called as Lady. And that one is Nicoletta Goldstein, but it's better Nico."

Nico: "Because it's short and cute."

Y/n: "No. Because it's a mouthful like you are." She flipped me off again.

Ann: "So, you got a girlfriend?"

Rias P.o.v

I couldn't handle it. My father and brother were talking with Issei's father about videos that they took of us on the open house. So, I walked out and sat in the hallway. Issei came and offered me to hang out in his room. I went to his room and laid on his bed, face down.

Rias: "Tell me, Issei. Are you glad that we've met?"

Issei: "It is an honor. I mean, I'm glad to have met the president, but..." I looked at him. 

Rias: "But?"

Issei: "Oh, nothing." He sat down and looked sad. 

His mind said something about finding myself a boyfriend. Seeing this made me feel a little pity for him. I was going to sit up and kiss him, but I didn't move. My mind went to Y/n's face when he was feeling down in his room the other night. I told him that I liked him, but I also had feelings for Issei. Well, I blurted it out. 

Seeing him like that made me say it. And seeing Issei like this only made me think of doing something reckless. Akeno's word came to mind. I have to choose between both of them. The obvious choice would be Issei because he is the one showing me affection every day. Meanwhile, Y/n only shows rejection, but he gave me a head pat and told me to get my feelings in order. Thinking about it made my face feel warm. I shook my head and sat up.

Rias: "Issei..." I got closer to him, but the lights turned on, and Asia came in while pulling him on a hug. Then, my brother came in.

Sirzechs: "There's something I wanted to speak with you."

Rias: "And that is?"

Sirzechs: "I think it is time for you to release your other Bishop." I was shocked that he suggested it. This confused the other two.

Rias: "The Bishop's powers were regarded as dangerous, so it was sealed because I was not strong enough to handle it."

Issei: "How dangerous?" I looked at my brother.

Rias: "You organized this, didn't you?"

Sirzechs: "Guilty as charged. But, after watching you fight Phoenix and Kokabiel, I've reconsidered."

Rias: "Then, why?"

Sirzechs: "You have more pieces and support, and you've gotten stronger. I am more confident that you can handle it now. Release the Bishop, Rias."

Rias: "If the Great Devil King Lucifer say so, then it shall be done."

Sirzechs: "Make sure you bring Y/n with you. He will be a great help." I was more surprised that he considered Y/n to help me. He had a small smirk. "And make sure you use my name when telling him. Don't want him to think that it is always you who is relying on him." I felt my face warm up even more.

============Timeskip============

Y/n P.o.v

Ann: "Why are we heading to where the Demons are?" I sighed.

Y/n: "Because Sirzechs asked me to."

Ann: "So, you're taking orders from Demons?" I turned to her.

Y/n: "From what Rias told me, it was more like asking for a favor. And no, I'm not taking orders from DEVILS. You know where I stand with them." She rolled her eyes.

Kala: "And the more favors he takes, the more they owe him." We arrived, and we were standing where there were chains and yellow tapes on the door.

Rias: "Glad you arrived." I shrugged. I looked at Issei, and he was eyeing Ann with his perverted eyes. 'Big mistake, Hyoudou.' I thought. Right on cue, Ann sends a deadly kick between his legs. Making him fall while holding his crotch. "What the hell!?" Ann pulled her pistol out towards Rias. The others were ready to fight her, but I put my hand in front of Ann.

Y/n: "Calm down." I said to them.

Ann: "That's what he gets for staring at me like that."

Rias: "Y/n, tell her-"

Ann: "I don't listen to no one, princess. I don't care if you're the daughter of some great demon. I would still put two bullets in your eyes, and you would still be alive, but blind." They all glared at her while she glared at Rias. I looked at Issei.

Y/n: "Hyoudou, next time, if you see some girl beside me, keep your eyes off of them. I wouldn't recommend it."

Rias: "What's her deal!?" I turned to her.

Y/n: "She doesn't have the fondest of memories with the supernatural. She's like me when we first met, but she would actually pull the trigger instead of talking." I turned to Ann. "Lower your gun. They won't do anything while I'm here." She didn't move. She turned to Xenovia and aimed her pistol at her.

Ann: "Quarta."

Xenovia: "Lady." I was surprised they knew each other.

Y/n: "You've met."

Ann: "Couple of jobs, but never thought she would become a demons herself. Hypocritical if you ask me. So much hate for the demons only to become one."

Xenovia: "I made a choice because of circum-"

Ann: "I don't care about your excuses." I got in front of Ann.

Y/n: "Ann." She finally looked at me. "They are not a threat. Trust me." She scoffed and started leaving.

Ann: "I'm heading home." I sighed. I turned to the others.

Y/n: "You're all lucky that I held her."

Issei: "I'm sure that they could've taken her." He was struggling on the floor.

Y/n: "If I let her, she would've killed you all with one shot."

Issei: "As if she can do that."

Y/n: "She has killed more demons than I can count. Her second briefcase isn't what it seems."

Xenovia: "Y/n." She whispered.

Y/n: "Can we do the thing we came here to."

Rias: "Right." She turned around, and she broke the seal with her magic. We entered, and someone shrieked. "Hello. I'm glad you're doing well."

???: "I don't understand what's going on!" Akeno walked to the sarcophagus and pulled out the lid.

Akeno: "The seal is broken. So, now you can come with us."

???: "I don't wanna!!! I wanna stay here!" It was someone with the girls' school uniform. They turned around, and it showed someone crying with pointy ears and teary eyes. 'Kinda cute.' I thought.

Issei: "A girl! And a beautiful blonde, like Asia. Does that mean all Bishops are blondes?" He got so excited. Kiba chuckled. "What so funny, Kiba?"

Rias: "The child is a boy." My eyes widened. I just called a guy cute. 'The fuck's wrong with me!?' I thought, but didn't say anything. Issei's hopes were stumped by those words. "He may look like a girl, but he is definitely a boy." He and Asia were shocked. I couldn't contain my laughter.

Y/n: "You've got trapped, Hyoudou!"

Issei: "Like you would've known!"

Y/n: "I don't assume right away! But you just imagined yourself with a guy!" Rias hugged the little guy.

Rias: "This is Gasper Bloody. The other Bishop in my household. He's a first year and before becoming a Devil, he was half human, half vampire."

Y/n: "Welp, I'm calling you Edward Cullen, from now on."

The lights were turned on and Issei was complaining about fate being so cruel and him being forsaken. He went to Gasper and was complaining about him looking too hot while wearing girls clothes. 

Gasper: "I like this clothes because they are cute." He doing a cute face to Issei. I mentally facepalmed because I called him cute again.

Rias: "Gasper, let's go outside."

Gasper: "I don't wanna!" Issei made the mistake of grabbing him. 

Suddenly, I saw him pulling his arm off and running to the corner and curling into a ball while the others were just standing where they were. I walked to him and kneeled in front of him. He started crying and lifted his head with surprised expression.

Issei: "Wait what?"

Y/n: "Did you stopped time?" Gasper was more surprised.

Gasper: "Please, don't get mad! Don't hit me! I'm sorry!"

Y/n: "Hey." I sat down with my legs crossed and put my hand on my knees. I was talking to him with a low voice "No one's mad at you. In fact, I'm really amazed that you did that. That's so cool!"

Gasper: "Y-You mean it?" I nodded. The others explained that it was something called Forbidden Balor View. He can stop anything that he see, but if he learns how to control it, he may be able to stop the world. I offered my hand to him.

Y/n: "Come with me. We are just going a few steps to another room. No outside, nobody else. Just us."

Gasper: "J-Just us?" I nodded. He took my hand and we slowly stood up.

Rias: "Hold on?" We turned to her. "How did you know that he stopped time?" I was confused.

Y/n: "I saw him moving from there to here." Their eyes widened.

Akeno: "You saw him?"

Issei: "I didn't see him moving at all. He just disappeared." 

Rias: "You weren't affected by it?" I shook my head. Gasper held to my hand tightly. I looked down and patted his head. Then, we started walking to the ORC room. "Is it me or Gasper got attached to Y/n way too quickly?"

Kiba: "I think is more of the way he spoke."

Akeno: "Or his paternal instincts!~" I shook my head and reached the ORC. I stood there while Gasper was holding on to me while being behind me. The rest were talking about him and what happened to him to be in the room.

Y/n: "Can I have say in this?" They turned to me. "Can you not like, talk about him while he's here?" They got confused.

Rias: "What you mean?"

Y/n: "Like you're talking about him like if he wasn't here. I'm sure he doesn't like it."

Akeno: "And you know this because?" I was going to say something, but Xenovia beat me to it.

Xenovia: "Because he was the same when he was little." I rolled my eyes.

Issei: "Wait!? YOU!? BEING LIKE HIM!?" I put my hand over Gasper's head in a protective manner.

Y/n: "Don't sound like being him is a bad thing!"

Rias: "As much as I like to hear of this story, I have to take my leave. I have to go to a meeting to get ready for the leader's summit."

Y/n: "Ah what now?"

Akeno: "It is where the leaders from the three factions have a meeting to come up with what's going to happen in the future."

Rias: "And of course, Yuuto?"

Kiba: "Yes, president?"

Rias: "My brother wants to know more about your Balance Breaker. If you're free, that is."

Kiba: "I'm free." A magic circle appeared behind her and Akeno, and Kiba stood beside them.

Rias: "Wonderful. Can you all be in charge of Gasper's training until we get back?"

Y/n: "Since when did I agree to this?"

Rias: "Since you're the only one who Gasper has taken a liking to. I'm sure a little support from you will help."

Y/n: "Taking advantage of the situation. Why am I not surprised?" With that, they left. I felt a tug on my arm.

Gasper: "What are we gonna do?" Oh crap. This is gonna be hard for the kid.

================================
