Ch 22 - Rin-gotiating
Oh boy with Rias half naked and you in her room even Asia might hit you in the head with a frying pan. This is madness. What will Akeno say?
Enjoy.
~~~~~
Lady Rias sits on the edge of her bed as you walk closer. She's happy that you asked her this question.
"Rings huh?" She asked.
"Rias I want to ask you your permission to purpose to Akeno. I need her in my life. But I want to do this proper. I don't know what to look for and I'm broke. I need help. Badly."
"You're certain?"
"She's carrying my child."
"I approve now the rings. Devils love material items. I can help. What we need to do is..."
She was cut off by a hard burst in through the door. Oh no. This was hitting the fan now.
*BANG*
"DADDY? What the hell is the meaning of this?" Cried Akeno with raging hormones.
"Akeno what's up?"
"Why are you in Rias's bedroom?"
"She asked me to have a private conversation. I'm not looking at her. I have my Preistess of Thunder to look at."
"Is it because I'm gaining weight because of the baby?"
"Akeno you're blowing this out of proportion."
"Did Ravel not have a flexible schedule?"
"Just no. No way."
"I'll be in my room tonight." She huffed.
"But Akeno..."
*Slam*
The door slams shut behind her and you sigh. The hormones for the best of her and she accused you of cheating. Great. Just great.
"I'll have her taken care of by me and Asia as you run into town. Let's just say this guy owes my brother more than a few favors." She giggled.
"Classified. Got it. Give me directions and instructions on tomorrow. I'll be out early to get this done and over with. What do I owe you?"
She pondered. Thought real hard about it too. "Make me the devil mother and we're even. Basically God mother but I'm a devil obviously. I'm already an Aunty Rias you know."
"Hey Rias you got a deal. I can't wait to see what we have either."
"A good question. Chances are dark hair though."
You smile and think or a boy and girl that look exactly like their mother. Magenta eyes and black raven hair. A sight that at the moment can only dream of.
"Yeah. Can't wait. Even though she's pissed at me for the time being."
"Tell you what. Rest up and teleport to the center of town by 8 AM. I'll call you from there. Deal?"
"Right."
And from there you hit your head on the pillow. For the first time is weeks it was alone. It was a sad thought. That bed was solo when you were injured from a battle and you blacked out. This time she wasn't speaking to you.
It's different. I'm missing so much and it's from the person carrying my child and future wife. It's hurting my soul. Rias is the Master of my soul technically but Akeno has my heart and I love her. Truly I do.
~~~~~
And so without Akeno on your side the next morning you were up early. 7 AM was a good enough time to dress and cover your tracks. Planning to eat as you get there. Then 8 AM struck the clock and you were out of there. But left a note.
My Dearest Akeno,
I understand you may be upset with me. But I am unavailable due to a request assigned by Rias. Surely I hate the timing as well. But don't worry I have special plans for us Love. Rias and Asia will take care of you until then. Love you so ever much.
-(FN)
*Teleport*
To the center of town it had a stand to get an egg sandwich. Halfway through breakfast you were on the horn.
"Hello?"
< Morning Rook. >
"Morning Lady Rias."
< Akeno isn't up just yet. How's town so far? >
"It can warm up just a tad and that's about it. So what's the move?"
< Alrighty then. Head to Uyagi Gems downtown. Say you're from the House of Gremory and negotiate. He won't deny you. >
"Alright. Take care of her for me while I'm gone. I miss her."
< I will. Till then. Best of luck although doubtful you'll need it. >
*Click*
Welp. Time to get to business. Although very concerned about her waking up and barging in on an empty room............. Why do I feel a shiver? Ahhhhh crap...
~~~~~
Akeno was speed walking across the hall. Who could blame her? She missed you. She opened the door.
"Daddy I missed you so........... huh?" Confused she ran to your bed where you left the note. "So he was going to leave whether if I was angry or not. Uuuuuuuuuugggggghhhhhhhh! Hmph. Jerk."
Rias was right by the door with a tea cup and plate in her hands. She was just watching preggo turn into a whirlwind.
"My. You alright Akeno?"
"You gave him a job last night?"
"Yes. That's why he was in my room. Except the time I remembered I was already half undressed and sat on my bed. He didn't even look at me."
"Really? At that bod of yours? I mean look at me. I've gained five kilos."
"Akeno I think you'll be all belly. Don't sweat it. And yes he turned away. And I asked him to be up and out by 8 AM. And until his return I offer my assistance alongside Asia."
"That sounds great. But I miss my man." Truly I do. I'm needy after last night. My lover couldn't give me the cuddles and rubs I want. Maybe something else too.
Asia enters the room with Issei. They both smile at the sight.
"C'mon Akeno time to relax." Smiled Asia.
"And we're all here to assure that." Issei winked.
"See Akeno. You're in hands." Rias assured.
"I guess I can wait for him. Let's go."
~~~~~
Downtown on your end was getting busy since it was a weekday. And it was starting to become more downscale. A dirty alleyway with a stray cat picking through a trash bag, a pawnshop with people loaning their jewelry for half it's weight in what the metal is worth, and the smell of the air less clean.
Geez. Guess even with the shit I've been though I've never been down here. That's a huge plus. Also concerning about this encounter. If Rias gave me the word then I should be golden. If I dish out Aura's Storm oh well.
Before things got really sketchy Uyagi Gems was on your right. You look to your left. Then your right. Nothing.
"Alright. Just what the doctor ordered."
You walk in with confidence as you dust off the shoulders and walk in. And just like Rias said before. Devils like material items. The showcase showed jewelry of all kinds. Rubies like Rias's hair, pearls, and in total a complete like of anything gold, silver, and platinum. Two gentleman in dress suits watched you closely. It was like the casino all over again. Thankfully you were in your same attire as that night.
"Young man how are ya?" Asked one of the gentleman.
"Fine. I'm here on business. Mr. Uyagi around?"
"Good news kid I'm your man. What can I do for ya?"
"I'm here to collect payment from House of Gremory."
"You're....... You're bluffing. No way." He shouted.
*Zing* Aura's Storm's shiny light green mirrored through putting those rocks to shame.
"Try me. Sacred gear. Rook under Rias the sister of Sirzechs King Lucifer. I came to negotiate."
"Please don't rob or hurt me. I'll get the money I promise you. I know how much debt I'm in." Uyagi panicked and hit the deck.
You look over the counter as your gear fades away. Concerned he thought you were going to murder him.
"Sir? Sir?" You called.
"Please. I ask for mercy." He cried.
"I just came to negotiate business. Please. Let's do this peacefully and we can shake hands and head our ways. All I ask at the moment is one ring."
"A........... ring?"
"Yes."
"I believe that's fair if that helps my debt."
"Indeed sir. Gimme the tour and I'll put in the good word."
"Alright my good man. Diamonds I'm guessing? Wedding ring?"
"Yes. Two karats. White gold."
"Tell you what. You let me off easy. This one directly left center is a one of a kind piece. Diamond carved to perfection and rare to come by. And it's a handsome price. Yours if you want it."
Wow. I don't think you'll see any normal woman wearing that ring. Unless he's a pro athlete or some store manager or CEO. Hmmmmmmm. "You know what sir. Put that in a nice box for me. I'll take it and run."
"Also take this." He hands over a big cigar.
"What's this?"
"Tradition is to pass around cigars at weddings and baby showers and such."
Yet I might be doing both. "Done. I'll be reporting to my Master immediately. Thank you it's been a pleasure."
"And I commend you for being kind."
"Devils have stereotypes but I'm not one of them. I'll see ya."
*Teleport*
Uyagi sees you disappear in front of his very eyes and wipes the sweat from his forehead.
"That poor young man wasn't kidding. We dodged a bullet."
~~~~~
*Teleport*
To the living room you appeared to Akeno relaxing on the couch with the girls helping her out. Rias knows you pulled off the job as Akeno was fuming.
You stood there making sure your dress shirt was clean and held the cigar in your mouth. Winking at your girlfriend.
"Akeno Love how are ya?"
"Where have you been? I came to your room and expected cuddles. Not to read a note saying you were out." She huffed.
"For a good cause this time around. Even got a cigar out of it."
"What are doing with that disgusting thing in your mouth?" She snapped.
"Convenient place to hold it I guess."
"Not around me and our baby!"
"Honey relax."
"Were you at the casino again?"
"No....." Don't say it....
"Was Ravel your hoo-ha there?"
"Hoo-ha? Gimme a break from that garbage."
"Then where the hell were you?"
"Trying to get a small pact done in which I needed to look sharp and plan a date with you sometime this week."
"Ohhhhhhhhh........ sorry Daddy." She blushed.
"Yup. Anyways thank you Rias for the call this morning while I get into something more practical."
You walk up those stairs with a giant smirk on your face. She was good. Very good. She had you shook. But yet, kept composure and you were there. Nothing better than that. You enter your room and unbutton your shirt.
Now time for some regular clothes and this guy is going to hide this ring and his cigar and wait until we talk time. I want to pull all the stops. Nice and romantic. And what she'll wear she will look blazing regardless of her carrying. Salude. I'm going to wife her.
~~~~~
Well time to execute. She's not getting any further away from a child now. It's happening. And now to pick the right time to go after her. You are going to ask her to be your wife.
She's concerned you're still hiding something from her but this will all be cleared up. Now the only thing is who can possibly stop you? Barqiel? Ravel? Dear God. *Zap* OUCH!
As always I hope all enjoyed, vote for more, comment freely, and as always have an awesome day cause you guys are the best and make this happen. Love you all.
