One of James' Biggest Fans

Human World, Japan, Kyoto.

Two days have passed since the oni rebellion was put down. James and the girls returned to their hotel shortly after their conversation with Yasaka. The next day, instead of sightseeing, the group took care of buying souvenirs, as they had agreed that Kunou would lead them around Kyoto on the third day. So, after a short shopping trip, the group returned to the hotel where James worked to heal Tsubaki's stab wound. Though not completely healed, there is no external indication that Tsubaki was ever injured. With just a slight limp, no one would ever know. At worst, someone might think she missed her step while walking down the street and twisted her knee, or something.

This morning, the students were given permission to explore once again. As James and his group, who were among the last to leave, walked out of the hotel lobby, they saw Kunou , dressed in a white T-shirt, red skirt, and white tennis shoes, not far from the hotel's entrance. To their surprise, Yasaka, wearing a yellow short sleeved t-shirt with a deep V-neck, that drew attention to her impressive assets and showed deep cleavage, tight blue jeans, that highlighted her wide hips and round backside, and yellow high heeled sandals, was standing next to her.

"Lady Yasaka, good morning." James said politely as he and the group made their way over to the pair of nine-tailed foxes. "Kunou, how are you this morning."

"Good morning, Onii-Chan." Kunou said as she jumped into James arms for a hug. "Good morning, Onee-Sans."

"Good morning, Alaverus-San, Gremory-San, and Sitri-San. I hope you all don't mind if I accompany you on your tour of Kyoto." Yasaka said with a smile.

"It would be our honor." Sona said politely.

"Yes, please, having two locals guiding us would be wonderful."

Meanwhile, Akeno and Flora were standing behind the three leaders of their group and whispering to each other. Not that it did any good to keep their conversation private. Or rather it would seem they had no intention of keeping their conversation private in the first place.

"Who is she and what did she do with Rias?" Flora whispered into Akeno's ear.

"Fufufu." Akeno giggled in response while covering her mouth with a hand. "I almost forgot, you and Reya weren't forced to go through Auntie Venelana's etiquette training. When necessary, Rias can act like proper nobility."

"What do you mean act like proper nobility?" Rias turned and shouted at Akeno angrily. "I am proper nobility!"

"Phew~." Flora exhaled in relief. "I thought she was someone else, the real Rias is never that prim and proper."

"How dare you!" Rias stomped her foot in frustration. "Flora, I'll punish you in the place of your [King]."

"*Sigh* Did you two have to set her off this early in the morning?" Sona said exasperatedly. "Even if we calm her down, she's gonna have a pouty face all day long."

"Et tu Sona?" Rias eyes opened wide at Sona joining in to make fun of her. "You would do this in front of Lady Yasaka?"

"This is not an official meeting, Rias." Sona said while adjusting her glasses. "Besides, you were the first one to drop your noble act."

"It's not an act!" Rias shouted. "I am a noble."

As if they had practiced, Sona, Tsubaki, Akeno, Reya, and Flora all responded by smiling at Rias as if she were the most precious child in the realm.

"James, everyone is bullying me!" Rias said while running to James with teary eyes.

When she drew near, Kunou reached out her arms from her place in James' arms and hugged Rias. Then put the nail in the coffin with her innocent comment.

"Don't cry, Rias-Oneesan." Kunou said while wrapping her arms around Rias. "I know you're a noble. You're the heiress of house Gremory."

With that, everyone laughed as Rias crumbled down to the ground. Even Yasaka hid a giggle behind a hand. While the laughter was dying down, naturally, Kunou was confused.

"Onii-Chan, did I say something wrong?" Kunou asked while tilting her head cutely. "Why does Rias-Oneesan look even sadder now?"

"No Kunou, what you said was absolutely correct." James said with a smile. "Ri Ri is just a little sensitive, that's all."

Not sure what James meant by that, Kunou just watched the squatting Rias with concern. James, on the other hand, decided to put an end to this. Even though teasing Rias relentlessly is fun, they were running out of time to spend in Kyoto.

*Clap!*

"Okay everyone, we only have today and we're taking Lady Yasaka away from what I'm sure is a busy schedule." James said after gathering everyone's attention on him with a clap. "Let's make the most out of the time we have with our outstandingly lovely tour guides."

Smiling at the compliment, Yasaka observed James as he took charge of the situation.

'To think, this boy is the leader of the three peerages present and not one of the heiresses of the Pillar Houses.' Yasaka thought to herself. 'This boy has quite the charisma.'

"So, where would you like to see first?" Yasaka asked, ready to lead them and teach some facts about Kyoto they would never be able to learn in books.

"We should go to that café we saw on the way here for breakfast." Kunou said excitedly, answering in place of the high school students.

"I know you like Bleach and Soul Eater, Kunou, but that's not really the kind of tourist attraction we were talking about." Yasaka said with a wry smile on her face.

"Huh?" x 7

"Huh?" Yasaka was surprised by the reaction from James and his group. "Is there something the matter?"

"Kunou, did you tell your mother about that?" James asked the cute little fox girl standing next to him.

"No." Kunou said while shaking her head vigorously. "Onii-Chan, you told me I had to keep it a secret."

"I'm missing something, aren't I?" Yasaka said with a hand resting on her cheek.

Hearing that, the girls looked at James for permission to let the cat out of the bag. James smiled wryly and nodded.

"Well, the thing is, James is the mangaka for those manga you mentioned." Reya said with her eyes sparkling.

In response, Yasaka's eyes and mouth opened wide.

"Yasaka.exe has stopped working." Reya said with a smile.

"Just like Reya.exe stopped working when you found out, huh?" James responded with a smile.

"Can't you let me have my fun?" Reya asked with an embarrassed blush.

"Of course, I could." James said with a sweet smile. "But why would I ever do that?"

Reya pouted in response while everyone smiled at the banter between the two. Eventually, Yasaka's thought processes rebooted. And when they did, her actions surprised everyone. In an instant, she was holding a stack of Bleach volumes in her left hand, a stack of School Rumble volumes held up by a few of her tails to her left, and the rest of her tails were holding the published volumes of Soul Eater to her right. Seeing this, Sona quickly put up an anti-recognition barrier while everyone else's jaws fell to the ground.

"I'm one of your biggest fans, Alaverus-Sensei." Yasaka said as she stepped toward James. "May I have your autograph?"

As she finished, Yasaka reached into her cleavage and pulled out a felt tipped pen. Seeing this, although he had been trying to avoid it, James' eyes were drawn to Yasaka's impressive bosom.

"*Gulp!*"

Seeing James' expression and, more importantly, how his eyes were glued to her chest, Yasaka took another step forward and seductively spoke into James' ear.

"Kunou really seems to like you, and it's obvious your attracted to me." Yasaka said coquettishly while freeing one of her tails and rubbing it against James back and butt. "How about becoming her Daddy instead of her Onii-Chan?"

At that, James hands flew to cover his crotch while his face turned red. At the same time, Rias, Sona, Akeno, and Flora pulled him away from Yasaka's tail. Tsubaki and Reya, on the other hand, were shell shocked. They had never seen anyone other than Leona tease James to the point he could not reply.

"Lady Yasaka, I believe your joke has gone far enough." Sona said while adjusting her glasses.

"Why would you assume I was joking?" Yasaka asked with an elegant smile on her lips. "If you think about it, it makes perfect sense that I would find Alaverus-Sensei a suitable mate."

Stopping to think about it, the girls could not refute what Yasaka said.

"He and his family took good care of my daughter, he led the team that helped my faction of youkai when we needed help the most, and, in terms of modern standards, he has a well-paying job. What else should I search for in a mate? The only thing that makes him less than perfect would be that he is still not as strong as I am. But I'm sure that would be rectified shortly..."

As Yasaka rambled on about what would make James a good mate, she actually began to consider all the things she was talking about. And the next time she looked at James, she blushed. Eventually, she stopped this dangerous train of thought. Still, throughout the day, she could not stop these thoughts from sneaking back into her mind every now and then.

"Either way, whether she's joking or not, she would have to get past Auntie Leona, right?" Rias said with a wry smile.

"That's right." Sona said with a smile. "My mother told me that she somehow even scared Auntie Venelana to the point she dropped all notion of joking like that."

"I remember that." Flora said while tapping her index finger on her chin. "That happened last year, when we found James and Akeno in bed together, right?"

"Yup." Rias said with a nod. "My mother made a joke about becoming part of James' harem, too. Before she could finish the joke, the killing intent Auntie Leona released made my mother stop what she was saying."

"I remember that." Sona said with her face paling slightly. "I was the closest to them when that happened. I almost lost consciousness when I felt that killing intent. And it wasn't even directed at me."

James, finally coming back to his senses and getting his erection under control, could finally join the conversation. When he did, he left everyone, including Yasaka, a bit dazed.

"Well, I remember that event, too." James said with a sigh. "Honestly, the only reason she reacted so strongly is simple."

"Really?" Flora asked curiously. "What is it, then?"

"She hates the NTR genre." James replied with a deadpan. "Not that I think much of it either. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and all that. There's no way I want someone taking one of my women away from me. So, I refuse to touch another man's woman."

Everyone looked at James blankly. While Rias, Sona, Akeno, Flora, and even Yasaka blushed slightly. However, James was not finished.

"And if there's a man foolish enough to try and put his hand on my women, losing that hand will be the least of his concerns." James said as he released a bit of his draconic aura subconsciously.

At that moment, even the girls who were not romantically interested in him felt an instinctive urge to mate with James. Noticing that he had lost control, James reigned in his aura with an embarrassed blush on his face. Coughing lightly to expel the awkward feelings he was experiencing, James thought of changing the subject. However, he was beaten to it.

"James-Oniichan, what is NTR?" Kunou asked innocently.

As quickly as the question was asked, everyone present adopted an expression that said: "Oh, shit! I forgot she was here, too." James, the first to recover, made up some bullshit that would trick the little girl until she was exposed to the dark recesses of the internet.

"Anyway, how bout we have breakfast at the café Kunou mentioned earlier." James said while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

At the same time, Yasaka glanced at James as she thought: 'Maybe I should plan to meet this Leona I've heard so much about.'
