"Yuuma"

Another year after "dealing" with issei and his partners in crime, Alex was sitting in the ORC room socializing with the members. He wasn't a member himself, but he was dating the president of the club so he was allowed. He had also finally met Koneko, the last member of Rias's peerage besides Gasper. Unlike issei who she disliked due to his perverted nature, she had actually warmed up pretty quick to Alex. Alex was getting noticeably more excited each day, as the main story events would be starting any day.

Though there was one thing that was dampening his excitement, as they carried their relationship on, Rias was starting to become more distant. Alex knew it was most likely due to the impending situations with Raiser, even if it wasn't an issue at this point in the series, Rias wasn't actually in a relationship at this time. So the situation probably seemed more dire due to Alex's existence. But since he "didn't" know about these events, he could only pretend to be ignorant.

As it got to the time for the "club activities" Alex needed to leave. Truthfully it was time for them to do their Devils job, and since Alex was still supposed to be ignorant about it he could only leave. He didn't mind though as he needed to train still. Rias was sitting at her desk, and she got up as Alex walked over.

"It's time for the super cool stuff you guys won't tell me about, so I have to go." He placed his hands on her hips and pulled her close for a kiss. They had kissed plenty of times now that it was standard for the two of them. A few seconds later they split, and Alex left after she said her farewells. As he started walking home, he started thinking clearly about the upcoming events. Who should he help, what shouldn't he change? These thought and more we're going through is head as a pretty girl walked out in front of him.

Alex looked up and had to practically pinch himself in order not to react to the situation. There was pretty girl with black hair and purple eyes looking at him with interest. He pretended not to notice though and kept walking. Even though she didn't call out to him yet, the girl didn't expect to simply be ignored. She froze for a second, and ran to catch up with him before saying,

"Um, excuse me. You're Alex aren't you?" Alex stopped and turned to look at the girl. She almost had a pleading expression on her face and would've made him feel bad about ignoring her, if he didn't know what she actually was.

"What do you want?" He acted as if he could care less, he wanted to see how far she would take her act. She actually looked as if she was sad about him seemingly not caring about her. Tears actually started forming in her eyes.

"I, I, I wanted to talk to you so bad. I even worked up my courage to speak to you. Please listen to what I have to say." The tears started to flow down her face as if she was genuinely upset. Alex didn't say anything as he waited to hear her. He had to fight not to start laughing. Seeing he wasn't going to say anything, but was still waiting for her to speak, the girl said suddenly,

"I've been watching you for a while, and I think Ive started to like you. Please go out with me!" The girl turned increasingly red with each word, and by the time she got to the last bit she rushed to say it all at once. She stood there with her eyes closed as if she was waiting for his reply.

"Hahahahahahaha!" Alex was laughing so hard he couldn't breathe, he had to grab his knees to keep standing. As it was getting later in the day there weren't very many people around, but the few that were looked at him like he was a lunatic. The girl genuinely started crying at this point as her loud sobs echoed with his laughter. As Alex started getting his breath back, he quickly told the girl,

"Stop the act, I can't take much more!" The girl looked confused as she stopped crying. She tried to cover it by continuing the act.

"What do you mean act?! I actually like you and this is how to treat a young girls confession?!" Her face really flushed from her crying, she now had indignation in her eyes at being laughed at for confessing. But, she now couldn't help the small fear in her heart that she was being played with. Alex turned around, and started walking away while still occasionally giggling.

"If you're serious about your feelings Yuuma, I'll see you at the arcade in a few days." The girl was confused at the mans words, then she realized that she never told him her name. As the man walked out of sight, she rippled and disappeared. But before she left she couldn't help the thought that she might be in trouble.

Alex was still trying not to die of laughter, thinking about that famous bitch Raynare crying the way she was. He didn't have any real sadist tendencies, but she was one of the worst people in the series. He recalled that her actions had actually traumatized issei for several volumes of these series, and she had quite the disgusting personality, rivaled in his opinion only by a small handful of people. Alex continued to walk to his training area, as he pondered what to do with her.
