Sitting at a rather large table were many of the strongest people in all of Grigori. All of them had just finished watching the fight. Frowns could be seen on most of their faces, but one look at their leader and they could all see his beaming smile.
"Fascinating."
"Yes it is, but it's also a problem." The Vice-Governor, Shemzahai, said with a deepening frown.
"It's not a problem if you have lube." Azazel laughed, prompting the entire room to facepalm.
"Lord Azazel, this is not a problem any of us can fuck…except Penemue. She might be able to pull it off." Baraqiel said with a contemplative look.
"Of course it is! This kid is a goldmine! Think of all the progress I can make, if I have not one, but two dragon emperors giving me the data I need!" Azazel jumped out of his seat. It was clear he didn't see the problem with the overpowered demigod who was only growing in strength.
"I understand your excitement, but the devils have secured him on their side. Only way you're getting that data is if we bring peace between the factions." Penemue said, her tone amused.
"That's not happening with Kokabiel and his band of traitors out there plotting war! Even if we claim we're not with him, what's stopping the angels and devils from snapping at us for his deception!?" Baraqiel shouted.
The gruff man had spent way too many years dealing with his boss' laid back attitude to serious shit. The angels have them surrounded? Whip out your dicks and they'll fear for their purity. The devils are advancing on our territory? Capture the hottest ones and kill the rest, its fucking season.
Now Baraqiel had to sit by and watch as his former ally was brewing up a war between the devils. He refused to fight them…not with his daughter on their side. He wanted nothing more than to make peace.
The rest saw his down-trodden expression and gave him concerned frowns. They knew too well of Baraqiel's pain.
"Kokabiel will be dealt with, I'll ensure it myself." Azazel said, actually getting serious as he looked at his saddened brother. "We will not war with the devils, nor the angels. Peace is way more exciting anyways."
"Knowing you, you're not gonna let the Son of Anubis out of your sight until you get what you need." Penemue said standing up and walking towards the man she followed out of heaven. Her hands came to his face and caressed it softly.
A shit eating grin formed on Azazel's face as he looked at his secretary. "I'd sooner cut off my cock…Wait scratch that, I mean I'd sooner…Nevermind, yes I'm gonna get the kid."
As long as it's been, Penemue had never gotten tired of Azazel's humor. Bringing her face to his, her lips met his for the nth time.
"What are your orders, Governor-General?" Penemue asked after their passionate kiss.
Azazel gave her a cheeky smile, then looked at the rest.
"I'm a man that believes anything can be bought for a price. Leave the kid to me. I'm sure I can find something he'd be interested in."

Gremory Territory (Isamu POV)
"No!"
"Get back here you little shit!"
"I'm sorry! It was an accident! A beautiful accident!"
I was currently chasing Issei who was weaving in and out of rooms, running on walls and just trying his best to get away from me.
For the first time since I've learned about the supernatural, I'm chasing Issei with my full speed, minus the [Boosted Gear].
The reason? He had the audacity to "accidentally" trip into Rias' breasts. While I do actually think it was an accident, I won't get such an offense go unpunished!
Activating my [War Aura] I caught the son of a bitch and pinned him to the ground.
"Wait! Isamu! It was an accident I swear! Buchou! Please, call him off!" Issei pleaded.
Everyone was dressed in formal attire, with the exception of myself and Issei who were still in just underwear.
Rias frowned. Her voluptuous body was perfectly wrapped in a crimson dress that showed off an ample amount of cleavage. The back of the dress is completely open, leaving her creamy white back exposed to the warm air. Her hair tied back into a beautiful bun.
"Isamu, I'm sure it was just an accident. The most influential people in the underworld are already waiting for us, and you two aren't even dressed. Please just punish him later." Rias pleaded, and I shrugged.
The son of bitch touched my fiance and bragged about how he did it right in front of me. That pretty much warrants the death penalty, and had he not been my friend, I would have gone through with it.
"I'll fuck you up later." I clicked my teeth, letting him up.
Issei looked upset, but I honestly couldn't give less of a fuck about his feelings right now.
"Ara ara, don't worry, Issei. If you want to touch some breasts, mine are always available." Akeno teased. The black dress that left too much cleavage, clung to her body tightly. Her entire body was perfectly outlined by the dress and it left little to the imagination.
Issei's spirit instantly rose as his hands reached out.
"Issei, you'll lose your hands, then your eyes, then your dick. Don't test my gangster."
Issei instantly straightened up before walking into the changing room. I followed him in, and we were greeted by several maids.
The maids started dressing us immediately. I cringed when I heard the snip of scissors and felt a large weight fall off my head. I looked at the brown haired maid who was holding said scissors, then looked at the ground to see my raven locks on the ground.
"Bitch…Did you just cut my fucking hair?" I asked in genuine surprise and anger. Who gave her the fucking right.
"I apologize!" She said nervously. It looked like she was about to piss herself. "The Lord Lucifer ordered us to cut it. His exact words were, 'cut it all off, he looks like a very strong black girl.'"
I froze. Issei however didn't.
"He said you look like a girl! The man called you an Egyptian Macho Woman!"
I honestly didn't see it. My hair was shoulder length. Sure it was a bit long, but his hair is just as long! Also my face is the fucking opposite of womanly. Oh I do not like that motherfucker.
'[Then grow stronger than him. You'll find out very quickly that the strong can do what they wish to the weak. I believe this may be the lesson he is trying to teach you as well.]' Ddraig chuckled.
I sighed, looking at the maid. "Just make it look good." I didn't want to blame the poor woman who was simply doing her job. No, my anger was for the bastard that made the order. I wasn't particularly attached to my hair, but that was a dick move.
Several minutes later Issei and I emerged from the dressing room.
The ORC looked at both Issei and I and dropped their jaws. Neither of us looked the same after all. When Issei kept laughing about my hair getting cut, I took the scissors from the maid and cut his shitty ponytails off, and a good chunk of his hair.
The maid had to fix it up, so now both of us had short hair. His hair reached his mid forehead, and mine barely reached my forehead. Surprisingly I had to admit that this was a much needed change, certainly one I wouldn't complain about. Issei looked somewhat handsome, that's the first time I've ever admitted that.
I was dressed in a crimson suit to match Rias with a white undershirt, and a black bowtie. My shoes were also black, and looked like they cost a fortune, with gold embroidery and crimson laces. Issei was wearing a green suit that went well with Asia's green dress.
"Don't ask." I said quickly before anyone could say shit.
"It looks good." Yuuto nodded approvingly.
"Fuck you, Prince Charming." Issei growled as he took Asia's hand.
"No, fuck you." I said seriously. "Enjoy the party while it lasts, cause you're getting your noggin popped when it's over."
Issei shuddered and led Asia to the door.
Rias walked over to me and wrapped her arms around my neck. I did the same with her waist and pulled her close.
"It's a sudden change, but definitely a good one. No objections here." She said with a coy smile.
"I'm glad you like it, but it wasn't my idea." I admitted with a small frown. That changed when her lips pressed against mine for mere moments before she pulled away.
"We're already quite late, we must head down now." Rias held her hand out to me and I grabbed it. Akeno took her place a bit behind me to my left, Rias to my right. Yuuto and Koneko standing to Akeno's right. Issei and Asia to their right.
We made our way to the main hall. Rias and I lead her peerage as a sign of our status.
"Devils and Devilettes, please welcome Heiress Rias Gremory, Her betrothed Isamu Satoru, and her peerage." The announcer announced from inside the room. The door was opened and in we walked.
I almost dropped my jaw at the vast amount of devils in the room. All of them were wearing fancy dresses and suits that no doubt cost as much as my house. The room was perfectly decorated with the Gremory crest on every wall, bright lights illuminating the hall, and crimson and gold embroidery every inch of the room.
As we walked in, the devils clapped softly. Suddenly I felt completely out of place. All of the devils were staring at us…more specifically me. I mean this was Rias and I's party so I guess it was to be expected.
Once we reached a good distance into the hall, many of the devils went back to what they were doing while a good amount walked up to us and stopped at a distance.
Rias turned to me and gave me a concerned smile. "This is where we split up and mingle with the populace. Try to hang in there." Giving me a long kiss on the cheek, she and Akeno immediately started talking to a group of young female devils. I noticed Sona in that group and gave her a small wave. She returned it before clasping her hands together like she was praying.
…Is she praying to the fucking satans for me? Is it really that bad?
"You are quite the fighter, the fight was amazing! My name is Londres Noticias." The man held his hand out to me and I shook it. Before I could even introduce myself to him, another man was introducing himself, then another.
I looked back towards Rias. My heart dropped when I saw Issei giving me an evil smirk. Asia gave me an encouraging smile. Yuuto gave a small wave. Akeno was ufufuing, and Koneko threw me a chocolate bar.
She threw me one of her fucking snacks! The amount of pain someone has to go through for her to offer one of her precious treats told me how my night was going to go.
The women and Sona were giving small reminiscent smiles. No doubt recalling their first introduction to the underworld.
Rias gave me a nervous look, and it looked like she was about to make her way back to me, but I held out my hand. I ain't no bitch. I'll handle this and make it back to my bombshell of a girlfriend in time to actually enjoy the party!
Someone stepped in my way to introduce themself and I lost sight of my friends. The fight begins now!
