The Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess

"That's enough, Sirzechs" The door abruptly barged, revealing a stunning woman with yellowish-brown hair and lilac eyes.

Grayfia started breathing normally and took her leave after being signaled to go by the lilac-eyed woman.

"Hello, mother" greeted Sirzechs, the red-haired man in robes.

The mother sighed, peering at her son, who had distanced himself lately.

"Sirzechs… is that how you behave to your Queen?" asked Sirzechs's mother, referring to his behavior a second ago.

Sirzechs humphed childishly, not taking responsibility, and replied "Endless times… I have sought her for her hand in marriage, yet… she always refuses… Does she not know who I am???"

His mother sighed again, watching Sirzechs's noticeable change in recent decades. She wanted to tell him that his own ego was the reason for Grayfia's rejections. But she also learned about Sirzechs's biggest secret -His lust for his youngest sister Rias Gremory, Heiress of the House Gremory.

"So, what is the secret you were hiding from me, mother?" Sirzechs asked, but this he dropped his arrogance, and his face was strict.

Suddenly another man came inside; he looked young with red hair resembling Sirzechs.

"I want to know as well, Venelana" said the man who joined the office.

Venelana didn't bother turning around. Instead, she stared at her son Sirzechs and said "Tenshi Hoshiko, offspring of Haruko… Gremory and a human."

"So who is Virginia, Rias?" said a charming young woman with a voluptuous figure in a long black ponytail and violet eyes.

"Grr.… I am not in the mood for your games, Akeno" grumbled Rias, a beautiful young woman with a sexy body, white skin, green eyes, and exquisite red hair, making her look like a princess.

"Ara~ Ara~ Many hearts would be crushed if the boys in school heard their great onee-sama like girls~" teased Akeno in her familiar teasing manner.

Rias groaned, dealing with her best friend's antics. It's been a while since she has been experiencing dreams of a boy. At first, she assumed they were coming because of her age(puberty), but yesterday she received a massive headache and watched the boy in her 'dreams' almost die.

"Did mother say anything about that…. Boy?" asked Rias while rubbing her forehead.

Akeno lost her teasing face. With apprehension in her tone, she replied "I… heard it's related to Gremory's family's unique ability to see past, present, and future."

Rias turned outraged, hearing her friend "Why wasn't I informed about this? I am the Heiress, right? So I have the right to be told of this information."

Akeno stayed quiet as Rias started throwing her tantrum; she was used to Rias's spoiled nature. So the best in this situation would be to stay quiet and talk to her after she cools down.

As Akeno predicted, Rias settled down after a few minutes. Rias then replied "I am sorry, Akeno… it's just stressful… with my engagement and now discovering out that my 'sex' dreams were real"

"Sex?" Akeno retorted while her eyes twinkled, catching Rias's slip of the tongue.

Rias clicked her tongue for saying something she shouldn't accidentally. Her dreams, most of the time, were sex. Lots of sex with a girl named Virginia. Sometimes… as ashamed as it sounds, she imagined what it would feel like if she were in the girl's position.

A slow smirk appeared on Akeno's face; she was delighted that she had just found another teasing material from her best friend.

Deciding she had embarrassed her enough, Rias told her friend to leave and closed her eyes, lying down on her bed.

"Where am I?" replied Rias, as she noticed herself in a dark, empty space.

"Hello? Is anybody there?" Rias heard someone's voice.

Looking around, she found a small light that was shining. Deciding to find out what it was, she started going near the light to investigate.

Coming near, she found a red-haired boy. Though he looked young, he was tall and had a muscular build.

"Y-You…." Rias was dumbfounded to see the same red-haired boy in her dreams, but this time… he had dazzling white wings, and instead of green eyes like he previously had, he now had ominous red eyes.

The boy looked at Rias with small lust and appreciation in his eyes, which was seen by Rias, but she didn't mind as she was used to it.

"Who are you?" The boy questioned, staring at her eyes, which provoked Rias's cheeks to have a slight blush to them.

"I am Rias G…. Just Rias" Rias said while hiding her last name. She doesn't know why she did that, but she felt a little anxious seeing the boy in front of her as an angel.

"So… Rias. Do you know what's going on?" said the boy, explaining that he didn't know where he was.

Rias didn't mind the boy's manner as she knew he was a foreigner; he might not experience Japanese culture. Then she speculated about whether or not to tell the boy the truth, but after deciding for a while, she finally shook her head, deciding to wait.

The boy's body slumped, and his gloomy red eyes stared down at the ground.

Rias, looking at the boy, felt heartache; she could have told the truth and said it was just a dream, but she felt talking to their 'enemy'(Angels) might be a dangerous idea.

But Rias was kind and compassionate. So she decided to know about the boy as she sat him down.

"So, can you tell me about yourself?" Rias said, trying to get rid of the awkward atmosphere.

The boy then looked at Rias in her eyes, which caused Rias's heart to miss a beat.

"Oh, I never did introduce myself. I am Tenshi, and I am stuck in this… space for quite a while" said Tenshi.

Rias nodded her head. She was pleased Tenshi was telling the truth, unlike her, who was hiding things from him.

"Well… I went to sleep and woke up here" Rias said while giving him a hint. She doesn't know why she kept changing her mind, but she felt giving him a hint didn't hurt anyone.

Tenshi stayed quiet for some time. Rias then saw Tenshi nod his head and say, "It also happened to me. I think we are in a dream world, if that makes sense."

Rias acted like she was surprised, but looking at Tenshi's unconvinced look, she knew she failed miserably. She then turned nervous. Not everyday you meet your 'dream' man; she doesn't know what to say.

"Maybe if we stay for some time, we will wake up? I know my maid is going to wake me up" Rias answered, trying to change the subject.

"A maid? You rich or something em?" Tenshi asked, as it is surprising in the 21st century to have a maid.

Tenshi himself is pretty rich enough to afford a maid and even suggested by his caretaker. But he refused it since he enjoys being free in his own house and not worrying about others bothering him.

"Yeah, something like that" Rias said.

Soon they both started talking about things like where they grew up and their lives. Both were kids the same age, so it was just plain chatting.

"Wait, I was on my way to Kuoh. I was accepted into Kuoh Academy!" exclaimed Tenshi, who just heard Rias is from the same academy he was going to.

Rias too, was shocked to hear this news; she never had a dream of him receiving an acceptance letter, so she never knew.

"Awesome! When are you starting?" Rias asked frantically. While talking, she realized Tenshi is an average person, though a little delinquent but still a kind person.

Rias's dreams of Tenshi were random and mostly about sex, so she wasn't able to find out what kind of person Tenshi was, other than lying to his friend about the girl Virginia.

Rias's question caused Tenshi sadness, and his eyes became moist.

"I-I don't know where I am… My plane crashed, and I am lost… I am on an unfamiliar island or something" Tenshi explained about his situation while hiding the apparent fact that he is in Hell.

Rias stood up and shrieked "WHAT?"

Rias was surprised to hear Tenshi crashed into an unknown island.

"My family can help you… I told you I am rich, right? My maid is... Special so she can find you. Do you know where you are?" Rias asked. She knew if Tenshi was sent an acceptance letter, it could mean he either was 'special' or had sacred gear, which could further mean their family should have the means to track him.

Tenshi looked at Rias, who was making an adorable expression. Finding her cute, he unconsciously said "You are cute!"

Rias, whose mind was occupied, blushed at hearing Tenshi's comment. She shyly replied "T-thanks… you are also good-looking"

Tenshi laughed. While he accidentally called her cute, he wasn't shy. He was not a virgin, so he took her compliment without shying away like a champ.

"Don't worry. I am sure the help will arrive soon. It's going to be pretty hard to find me." Tenshi said, trying to sound hopeful while looking upward.

"It was a wild experience… everything was going well and then suddenly thunders and bam… everything is r-...re-ed"

Rias, who was listening to Tenshi, suddenly felt stiff. She couldn't move and gradually turned transparent. She wished to tell Tenshi that she was leaving, but seeing Tenshi closing his eyes and turning to the 'sky' wasn't able to inform him.

◈ ━ ◆ ━ ◈

Rias, who woke up from a 'dream,' unconsciously released a vast power of destruction in rage.

"WHY DID YOU WAKE ME UP!" Rias roared with her demonic mana amplifying her voice, making her sound demonic.

"RIAS!"

Rias, hearing her mother's stern voice, calmed down and realized what she had done. She apologized "I-I am sorry… I just slept, and you woke me up so quickly"

Her mother, Venelana, was surprised at first time hearing Rias scream this loud. She never shouted or yelled before, other than a small tantrum discovering her engagement.

Rias looked around, then found all her family was waiting and looking at her worriedly.

Her brother Sirzechs, the person Rias adores, came and hugged her. Then, with worry in his voice, he said "You have been comatose for more than a month."
