21 Riser

(To those wondering, and for those who use the mobile app anyway, so the new PC thing doesn't bother them, I'm going to be moving to Scribble hub under the account BeauSmith, an account I've already had for awhile now. It was actually where I originally thought about starting to write. My novels will start appearing after I finish switching everything I need. But I will continue to post the stories here as well for those who don't want to move.)

Somewhere off in the underworld, a man with blond hair was watching Deviltube, checking through the many new videos out of boredom, scrolling through he saw one uploaded by Rias Gremory, she was his fiance after all, and judging by the number of views and likes on the video, it must be a decent video at least.

As he clicked on it and began to watch it, the first thought through his head was pride, Rias Gremory posted a video of her openly going against the Fallen community in a display of power by whipping out spies they had sent? Good! Teach those bastards to mess with the Devils.

But, as the video went further on, his rage built. Only for him to smash his laptop as the final scene was that bastard 'Issei' kissing not just Akeno, but getting into a hot kissing session with Rias. What pissed him off the most is the bastard made it seem so easy to please a woman with just a kiss.

He stood, gathering the entirety of his Peerage before he headed off, planning a teleport directly to that shitty little academy they call a base.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Issei was standing in the office where a lot of the plot seemed to go down, leaning back against the President's desk as she sat on the desk next to him.

Koneko sat near his feet, leaning against his leg and Asia was reading a book titled 'Devil Etiquette' seeming to be studying, Kiba was sitting on the couch with a tablet, researching by watching the videos Issei had sent him. Akeno was sat at her own little desk sorting through paperwork

With a grey flash did someone appear in the center of the room, a beautiful woman with grey hair and a noble bearing despite the maid outfit she wore.

As she appeared she shifted, giving a soft bow to everyone while she entered. ''Good morning everyone.''

Everyone gave their forms of greetings, Issei being the only one who actually spoke up.

''Good Morning Grayfia, is everything going as planned?"

She stood straight, her hands resting clasped in front of her waist. ''Thanks to you, and the preparation all of you took as a Peerage, yes. The video has been doing extremely well, especially since you edited it so well. I have also appeared to be the witness to the events about to transpire.''

Hearing that everyone looked to Issei before they all began to move, shifting to join him near the desk, standing around it.

''Ah, movement from Riser, thank you. Feel free to make yourself comfortable, after this is handled we'll hand you the report for this month's information of how it is all going within the town.''

Grayfia gave a final nod before she moved to the side, standing to the side she waited patiently, her face unmoving.

Soon, a breath of flame appeared where Grayfia had done just earlier, the entirety of Riser and his Peerage appeared at once.

Riser's rage boiled over as he saw Issei, with Rias leaning against him. Storming forward he moved in an attempt to grab at Rias before Issei caught his hand.

Grayfia spoke before Issei did, and that was most likely a good thing.

''Riser Phenex, any further attempt to touch anyone within Rias Gremory's Peerage, or Rias herself will be met with force by Issei Hyoudou of House Gremory.''

Hearing that voice and the weight of her words Riser's anger became doused in water as he turned to look at Grayfia, having not noticed her.

He attempted to slap away Issei's hand but was met with a wall, only able to back up because Issei let him go.

''Seeing as even Grayfia, known as the ultimate Queen is here, then that challenge to a rating game is true?''

Grayfia stepped forward, nodding. ''I am here under Sir Zechs direct order to bear witness to the Rating game challenge and what it entails.''

Riser stepped back, moving towards his Peerage, the right hand he attempted to grab Rias with resting in his pocket, pain lingering from the grip Issei had on him.

''If I win, I want the entirety of Rias Peerage for myself... The men can leave however, your pawn Issei will become a slave to the Phenex house and to which the entails and his family shall follow the same fate.''

A growl resounded through Issei's very being, not from him. No from his partner in crime, the anger boiling from the Queen of Domination.

~Partner... Let's just kill him right here.~

Issei took a slow breath, he was prepared for such a request, but hearing it was still hard not to beat the fuckers face in over it, but that's fine. He had the rating game to do that in.

Rias turned to look at Issei before she nodded. ''We accept your terms, and if we win, I will be annulled from the marriage between our families, and Issei will be allowed to keep all he obtains during the Rating Game.''

Riser raised a brow at that, seeming a bit confused but he was confident. ''We agree to your terms as well, I will give you a month to prep-''

Rias cut him off. ''Tomorrow, the game will happen tomorrow.''

Riser stopped, before a grin spread across his face as he began to laugh, it getting louder and more aggressive until flames consumed them and the magic circle left took them away out of the room.

''We should kill him.''

Everyone in the room looked down towards Koneko, her fists balled up as she glared hatefully at where Riser was once standing.

''Is it because he threatened the safety of the 'Brownie Queen'?''

Koneko gave such a confidant for sure nod after Issei spoke that he snickered, looking away. His mother had become known as the 'Brownie Queen' after everyone tasted her food, more importantly, her brownies.

Issei's were good for sure, but her's were on another level.

Grayfia spoke up as everyone chuckled or snickered to themselves.

''With that, I will begin preparations for the rating game... Are you sure you wish to have it happen so soon?''

Issei nodded. ''It's already been said, and it's best to strike while the iron's hot, as long as we do it now, he'll have less time to prepare... Though given his personality and history, that won't matter anyway because he relies too heavily on the tears of his family.''

Grayfia gave one final bow before she vanished.

After she did everyone looked to Issei, who was grinning. ''Who wants to kick a chicken's ass?''

The grins were spread across the group, a deep chuckle from Ddraig also being audible in the air.
