Kenji glared at him for a second.

"Yeah, it did. " He said, sarcastically.

"The instant I knew what being Heir meant, I had all these responsibilities thrown on me, no warning, no explanation, nothing. "

"As a former Angel of Heaven, I understand how that feels. " Azazel said.

"Yeah. " Kenji answered.

"I was told how to act, how to dress, hell, even how I should act, in, I don't know, the privacy of my own fucking home?! IS IT MY FAULT THAT I LIKE LISTENING TO ROCK MUSIC?!" Kenji took a couple of deep breaths to calm himself down.

'Gotta try and keep that anger under control. ' He thought.

'You are sitting feet away from the most powerful Fallen Angel there is, and he could kill you in a heartbeat if he wanted. ' Once Kenji had calmed down, he continued.

"So, yeah, a lot of responsibilities were thrown my way. Add that to Rias being a brocon and never leaving me alone-"

"Wait, what?" Azazel looked at Kenji. "Your older sister has a brother complex?"

"Yes. " Kenji admitted, reluctantly.

Azazel promptly started laughing his ass off.

"Oh, I am loving this!"

"Shut up, Azazel! This is serious!" Kenji was angry again. Azazel took a few breaths himself to calm himself down.

"You're like Baraqiel. " Azazel said.

"Never able to take a joke, are you? Well, it might interest you to know that Devils did use to practise incest a lot, they still do, to be honest, to increase the population of their race. " Azazel said, smirking at Kenji's open mouth.

"How the hell do you know that?" Kenji asked.

"I read a lot. " Azazel replied, simply.

"My library is second in the Grigori's only to Penemue. "

"Who?" Kenji asked. "I've never met anyone who went by that name."

"The smartest Fallen Angel you will ever meet. " Azazel replied.

"As well as the scariest. If you meet her and come out of it alive, you'll know why.

But keep going. "

"Okay. .

. " Kenji replied.

"But anyway, I worked out my frustrations with my family by training, and that was pretty much all I did. "

"I heard Valian saying that you looked like you'd had your fair share of training before you turned up in that cave. " Azazel said.

"Well, yeah. " Kenji said.

"Back to my asshole family. They didn't want me doing anything that would" Kenji did a crude imitation of his father's voice "Cause the House of Gremory to lose their prestigious reputation.

" He then returned to his normal voice. "Load of shit if I ever heard it.

Zeoticus has a daughter, who is a WORLDS better candidate for the position of Heiress Gremory than me, and my older brother is the Lucifer, and the Elder Devils refused to disown me from the status of Heir, apparently because I'm 'interesting'. "

"Well, a rebellious Heir who likes human rock music and actually trains his ass could classify as 'interesting' in a few Devils' eyes. " Azazel pointed out, fairly.

Kenji growled for a second, but then stopped.

"On my 13th birthday, instead of putting up with a load of snot-nosed Devils who probably want to either get in my pants, or to take advantage of me because I'm Lucifer's younger brother, I decided to get my own birthday present and go to a Guns N' Roses concert. Which was apparently the last straw for my family, as they decided to sell me off to the highest bidder, and FORCE ME TO MARRY RAVEL PHENEX!" Kenji yelled out the last six words at the top of his lungs, and it took him almost a full minute of breathing to calm him down.

"And there goes my happiness. " Kenji said, after he fully calmed down.

"Forced on dates with someone I don't even remotely like, and constantly told to" he did another impression of his father this time "Hang in there, you'll fall in love eventually. " He let out a laugh that Azazel could only describe as a laugh that was between a sarcastic laugh, and a psychopathic laugh.

"It got so bad for me, that I tried to-" He suddenly stopped.

"To… what?" Azazel put in, guessing the answer in his head, with a smirk.

"To… I tried to kill myself. " Azazel's expression crumbled.

That was not what he'd expected. That was DEFINITELY not what he'd expected."

. Oh.

" Was all he could say.

"But, fortunately, one of the maids, Zest, stopped me. I owe my life to her.

" Kenji admitted. "It got better after that, thanks to me and her spending time together.

I stopped thinking about suicide, I started training again, I regularly shared a bit of unfriendly banter with Zeoticus. " He added, chuckling.

"I thought that life could get better, even if I was going to be forced to marry that fucking Phenex Nazi, who tried to kill herself as well, by the way. "

"Holy shit, really?" Azazel asked, genuinely taken aback.

"Yup. " Kenji replied.

"What the hell were Zeoticus and Renzo thinking?" Azazel muttered, but he stopped. "Continue."

"Okay. " Kenji began to continue.

"I thought life was seriously going to improve for me, but… then me and Rias went to get our Evil Pieces. "

Kenji took a couple of breaths, before continuing. Azazel listened in silence.

"Well, Rias got a Mutation Piece, like one in ten Devils do. A Bishop, I believe.

" Kenji said. "But then, I became the first Devil to get more than one Mutation Piece in my set."

"How many did you get?" Azazel asked.

"Eight. " Kenji replied.

"All Pawns. " Azazel's jaw dropped for a second.

"The front line of your peerage is going to be incredible, once you build it up. " Azazel complimented.

"I plan to. " Kenji said.

"Since once I reach adulthood in the Devil world, I'm going to be legally obligated to marry Ravel Phenex. And I want a peerage that can take her on, and save me from marriage.
