Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: You've been warned!

Once Grayfia left, the entire clubroom was plunged into an awkward quiet once more. Rias was shuffling uncomfortably as if she wanted to say something but never did.

"So, you gonna fuck this guy up?" Issei asked, ending the silence. I smiled at her sudden crassness. Issei was the only one in the clubroom that had a decent estimation on how strong I was.

"Of course, I'm sure even you could have at this point." I said with a smile that Issei returned. That much I was certain of. Issei's gear may not seem strong, but in the world of his sacred gear, he is literally God. He could make monsters with the ability to use light energy. Though the monsters wouldn't be very powerful, light energy of any kind can be fatal to devils.

"Did you expect anything less?" Issei asked with a cheeky grin.

"Isamu…" Rias said, instantly getting my attention. "I do not mean to question your word…But I must ask. Are you sure this is what you want to do? This will no doubt become a big deal, and my brother is one for theatrics. The fight will surely be broadcasted for the entire underworld to see. While I'm certain you'll make allies, I'm also certain you'll make enemies."

I looked at Rias, and actually felt my heart skip a beat. Her concern for me was real, and I couldn't help but selfishly want her to care for me like this all the time. A selfish desire I already planned to make a reality.

I walked up to her and took her hands into my own much to her shock. "I've realized that my life will never be the same again after our fight…But I don't think that's a bad thing." I sat beside Rias and looked into her eyes. Hoping to translate my determination through my eyes and next words. "I've already made a promise to you, but that's not what motivates me to fight, Buchou. I couldn't stand the look in his eyes as he looked at you and Akeno." I looked towards Akeno and smiled when her eyes grew warm.

"How he casually insulted us when he was completely unprovoked. I'm fighting so that bastard can eat shit. So all of you don't have to sit by as he insults you." I turned my gaze to Issei, Asia, Koneko, and Yuuto who all nodded thankfully. I turned my gaze back to Rias and poured my heart out to her.

"And finally, I'm fighting for you, Rias. The girl who was forced into this engagement before she even knew what the word marriage meant. The girl who saved my friend when he was on the brink of death. The girl who just wants to be free."

Rias stared at me with wide eyes as I let go of her hands. I may not have said the words themselves, but the intent was obvious. Her cheeks quickly became a dark shade of red, and she averted her eyes from my own.

I honestly don't know if I'm in love with Rias. I don't think I am. Not yet. I think it's more a desire to have her as my own, and protect her if need be. But it was clear everyone took my words as a confession. At least that's what their surprised faces told me.

"Dude what the fuck!" Issei shouted, running up to me and grabbing the collar of my shirt. "How dare you break the bro code! I told you I wanted Buchou's wonderful breasts when we first saw her! I called dibs!"

I held my hands up in surrender with an awkward smile on my face. I did recall him doing just that.

"What can I say, I'm a fun guy." I joked in horrible taste which further infuriated the perverted idiot. He slapped me on the back of my head and bolted like he always does. I silently thanked him, since practically confessing leaves such an awkward mood. Everyone with the exception of Rias had been looking at me like I just cleared Mt. Everest in a single jump.

Getting up and dashing after the idiot, I found myself back into my thoughts. What would happen if…when I won the fight. Would Rias give me an answer to my accidental confession?

I didn't even truly pursue Issei. After he ran out of the gate, I teleported home. I opened the door and walked in. Both my mother and father were playing twister, and surprisingly they were clothed…mostly.

"I'm back." I greeted, aiming to walk past them when I felt a sudden burst of energy. A green blast of very potent energy flew past my face and destroyed the table. I froze, slowly looking to my right to see my mom wrinkling her nose. Her palm pointed just in front of me.

"Mom…The fuck?" I asked. If that shit hit me, my head would have been cracked open.

"Isa. Come here." She demanded. I didn't dare go against her order. I walked to her and she began sniffing between the crevice of my neck. Then she crouched a bit and sniffed my stomach.

I looked at my dad in confusion and only grew more confused when he was looking at me with a cheeky smile.

Finally my mom backed away from me. Her eyes were cold. "Who fucked my baby?"

I froze. I had never even thought about how my mom would react to me losing my virginity. This morning I had only teleported home to shower, and left immediately so I could hop the gate. My mom was an advocate for safe sex, no mistakes, and never sticking your dick in crazy. Ironic since she embodied none of her teachings.

"Two nights ago you almost lewd the devil girl, and the very next night you lose your little boy title?" My father asked as he approached me. He surprised me by hugging me and picking me up. "I have never been so proud!"

The old god instantly earned a hard aura infused slap on the back of his head by his wife.

"Do. Not. Encourage. This. Behavior." She said with a smile that wasn't a smile. Then she looked at me and grabbed my ear and pulled. "The bitch will die, I have her scent."

I shivered at the look in her eye. I realized that no matter how strong I get, my mom will always hold power over me.

"It's best if you just accept your fate, Kid. Your mom doesn't play when it comes to this stuff. She knows a woman's heart like the back of her hand, and you'd be surprised to know that she doesn't like many of them." Anubis said while scratching the back of his head with a sheepish grin.

"She's human! Also it was just supposed to be a fun time!" I admitted quickly. I knew from experience admitting your sins and begging for forgiveness was better than lying and having them find out themselves.

My mother let go of my ear and gave me an insulted look. "I have a nose, Isamu, I can tell she's human. What I can't accept is a girl using my son as an outlet for her lust." She explained.

What? Did she not hear me? I said I was using her not the other way around! Even if she was using me as well, isn't it like mutual benefit!? I braced myself as I prepared to open my mouth. For the first time in my life I was preparing to talk back to my mom. Both Daiko and I had talked back to our dad countless times and earned an ass whooping, but we never dared talk back to our mom out of fear of what our father would do to us.

"You can't kill her! I refuse to let you, and if you try…I'll stop you." I said with bated breath. I closed my eyes as I waited for Anubis to go absolutely ballistic on me. But when nothing happened, I opened my eyes.

They were both sitting on the couch looking for a movie…

"Uh. What?" I asked.

Anubis looked at me with a teasing smirk. "Your mom may be strict, but even she isn't that wild over something like this. We knew you lost your virginity since this morning, and I wanted to see if you grew a bit when you emptied your balls. I was pleasantly surprised."

So it was a test?

"I'm glad you've grown, son." My father said with an unusually warm smile. Then it shifted into the face of a disciplining father. "However make no mistake, talk back to your mother again and I'll feed your balls to Ammit."

I visibly flinched. "...Yes sir."

I made my way upstairs and closed my door upon entering my room. The day I became stronger than my dad I was gonna gut check him. Just cause.

Laying on my bed, I looked at my phone to see messages from Aika. I smiled when I saw a few nude pictures from her. I threw my phone down and closed my eyes. I was gonna spend the next three days living life one step at a time. While I have the chance.

Three Days Later

I was sitting in Rias' seat in the ORC. The room was empty with the exception of myself. Only minutes before the entire ORC, as well as the entire Student Council were in here wishing me good luck before Grayfia took them to the spectator room. The Gremory family, the Phenex family, and two satans, being Lucifer and Leviathan were also present.

My mind was wandering as I waited for Grayfia to return and take me to the arena we're Rias' future would be decided.

'I had never sat in Rias' seat before, but I found it strangely comfortable.'

'[Wow you are bored, huh.]'

'How would you feel if you were about to fight a guy you could beat in your sleep?'

'[Well, I wouldn't feel anything, but you forget you're not much stronger than him without your multipliers. Don't underestimate him or he may just end up pulling an upset.]'

'I never said I would, but you have to admit this fight is a bit overkill.'

'[I'm sure Lucifuge and her master would agree with that.]'

Speaking of the devil as Ddraig said her name, she appeared through a crimson teleportation circle.

"Are you ready, Mr. Satoru?" Grayfia asked with an expressionless look.

"Not quite, could I ask you a few questions?" I asked. She blinked but nodded. "Why do you act so coldly towards Rias when you obviously care so much."

If she was surprised by the question, which she was, she didn't show it.

"I am an impartial party in the union of Phenex and Gremory. To marry Riser is Rias' duty to her house. Have you any more questions?"

"Not anymore. But I will say." I stood up and approached her. My form towering over her. "I look forward to seeing how you act once I secure Rias' future."

Her lips twitched. "Should you win, I will act no differently"

"We'll see about that." I chuckled. Then in a flash of crimson we were gone.
