The House

I stood there and looked at Diehauser he was pretty big dude all things consider but I saw his eyes, his eyes looked so soft when he looked at me, maybe its because of the misunderstanding I've created.

'Naji.'

'Master.'

'Give me a necklace, make a small king piece, load it with some of Cleria's energy.'

'As you wish.'

I soon felt the necklace on my neck, it was a small one, let's completely screw these guys over. Diehauser came closer to me, although he was much taller than me I just smiled.

I then used my energy to make that similiar of Cleria, he looked at me and had a small tear in his eyes, he immediately wiped it off continuing his act, Grayfia and Sirzechs noticed it.

"Where were you born?"

"My parents say I was born in Kuoh, but we transferred to Kyoto then returned to Kuoh just this year because they got a job and they said they had to fulfil a promise."

"Did they give anything to you?"

"They gave me a lot of things."

"Something inconspicuous or something weird that you questioned why they gave it to you in the first place."

"Does this count?"

I showed them the small King Piece, everyone's eyes looked at it with awe, Diehauser held it and closed his eyes, he then let it go.

"Where did you get this?"

"My parents gave it to me when I was six? I never know why but they told me it was given to my Aunt as a gift."

"I see."

Diehauser currently had a conflicted look, everything he saw right now and everything I made up confirmed me to be a son of Cleria, which was not true, as much as I hate screwing the plot and history but I am a Hypocrite, I do things to make things fun.

"I'll leave for now and eat dinner, its prepared right Grayfia?"

"Certainly."

The two of them left us as they dragged Rias along, I just stood there waiting for what he was about to say.

"Did, these humans, your parents love you?"

"Yes, they did, they took care of me."

"I don't know how else to put it but they're not you're parents, your mother, give me your hand first then before I say anything else."

I nodded and recreated 'Worthless' inside me and a bullshit sacred gear to make things more believable.

He held my hand and was shocked, he nodded.

"As I suspected, you really are my nephew, and this King Piece, it was from your mother."

"Isn't that too much to reveal?"

"Then what did you want me to say?"

"I don't know?"

"You have Belial blood, our ability, 'Worthless', Sirzechs already told me that you know how to use and you've just awakened it recently when you came back to Kuoh right?"

"Yes, after I met Rias I've been feeling strange, and this thing, It reacts weirdly."

Diehauser took the King Piece and found it was much stronger than other King Pieces, then he realized something, It wasn't his cousins, it was something else, something much sinister than it seems.

"I see."

I could see that there was a change in the atmosphere, it was funny there should only be around twelve of those defective King Pieces but right now there were thirteen.

"Can I take it?"

"I guess."

I gave it to him as it was nothing he nodded and said nothing else, he then looked at me once again not knowing what to say as he had somehow missed the last 16 years of my life.

"I have a question to ask, you are clearly half human half devil with a sacred gear deep within you, do you want to be a full fledged devil?"

"No thanks, I want to be human."

"But you want Rias correct?"

I acted like he hit the nail in the coffin, but that was just it.

"Yes, I do want her, ever since I met her, I couldn't stop thinking about her, and we, well we're not at 'that' stage yet but close to it."

"I understand, do you want to meet the Belial family?"

"If they want to."

"Nonsense, they will be delighted to hear that Cleria's son survived all these years."

"Then I'd be happy to?"

-

After Haru accepted Diehauser's offer he was telepoted and introduced to the remaining Belial family, like all members of the Belial Clan, they all held a strong love towards him after being introduced as Cleria's long lost son.

Haru just accepted it and returned in kind as he was introduced to his supposed family, they didn't even shun him for being a halfling but instead accepted him as they all knew about Cleria's story.

While he was being pampered by the Belial's, Diehauser came to meet with Sirzechs.

"You want to engage Haru and Rias?"

"Yes."

"It's not easy Diehauser, You and I both know this."

"Of course."

"Why?"

"He's missed Sixteen years of care from the Belial house, he's the son of my dear cousin, although he doesn't seem like he had a rough time but if you compare the life he could have had then its enough to say it was bad."

"I understand where you're coming from."

Sirzechs could hear the pain behind Diehauser's stern voice whenever his cousin was involved, he saw his eyes that were full of guilt for not finding her cousin's son especially since he was holding a 'Worthless' in his bloodline which was proof enough of his heritage and Cleria was the only one who was at the outside world.

"I know you'll accept it and turn down the Phenex, of course I will come to them myself and explain it."

"..."

"If you agree, I'll always support you no matter what, this, this is my way of saying sorry to that Child, and a rating game is inevitable but he doesn't want to be a devil but what I can offer is a one versus one."

"So you'll train Haru to fight against Riser?"

"If I can teach him how to nullify the Phenex bloodline he can do it."

"Alright, You go first."

-

"Haru."

I who had just returned from the Belial house after almost half a day spending with them was greeted by Rias who waiting for me at her house, Diehauser had told me he will personally visit him in my home and Kuoh by tomorrow.

"Rias."

"Seemed like you had a lot of fun."

"Not as much as fun when we almost did it earlier."

"We're going back now."

I nodded but before we could teleport I could sense Sirzechs coming this way, I instantly grabbed her waist and took her lips, she didn't hesitate as she placed her arms around me, it only took me what two days or three?

Well I did max my charm stats as well as various skills in Najimi's arsenal that could completely make anyone fall for me if I use it and I am using it subconsciously.

It felt like she also didn't want to separate as she was even more proactive, we both got into it as I even forgot about Sirzechs for a moment it was until he coughed.

"Hmm?"

Rias was startled and looked at his brother she turned red, I didn't want to waste my time and immediately grabbed her and placed her head on my chest.

"It is what you think it is."

"Nii-san, I'm sorry."

Sirzechs sighed and shook his head.

"It's my fault in the first place for not noticing your feelings, anyway I hope the two of you don't disappoint me, as for you Haru, tell Rias to teach you how to use your power you're gonna need to train for a year as you'll be facing off her fiancé"

"Gladly."

"Please don't try to make a smaller versions of you two by then alright? While I do want to see another small Rias running around, I suggest you two hold it in for now."

Rias blushed as she knew what her brother meant, were they really that obvious? but then it means he had approved of them she then looked at Haru who had a huge grin, she didn't want to look at him as she also knew what that grin meant.

"But Brother in law, what if I can beat him next week?"

"Then just tell Rias."

"Alright See you! next time there really will be a smaller version of Rias running around!"

Rias immediately teleported away as she didn't want to hear anymore of Haru's nonsense.
