His question was important as there was no way he would allow a disloyal Familiar to follow him, even if his plans only consisted on obtaining power for himself right now.

Lelouch awaited the creatures' replies with baited breath, carefully maintaining the energy of the Void to test their commitment to follow an individual linked with such an all-consuming and dangerous power.

In response, the crow or raven shrieked, flapping its wings slightly as it relocated to his shoulder to nip at his ear. The wolf barked and sat on its haunches, its tail wrapping around its front paws, awaiting orders.

And the reaction that surprised and disappointed him most was the phoenix's. The silver beast shrieked before bursting into a silver flame, a small cinder singed the back of Lelouch's right hand as he raised it to shield his eyes from the bright light.

'Well, two out of three.' He should've known the one that reminded him of Nunnally would refuse to follow him, instead choosing to vanish into a fiery teleportation.

A solemn smirk graced the Devil Knight's face. "So, you have chosen to follow me then." He whispered rhetorically, allowing his power to fade back into his being as he rose up from his meditative position. "Very well, let's move out.

" And with that, the bird on his shoulder flapped its wings slightly to slowly fly behind his shoulder while the wolf pup followed at his heel loyally, its padded feet rhythmically pounding the dirt of the Familiar world as they made their way back to Rias' Peerage.

As he brushed his way back through the branches, he realized that they had moved farther ahead than he had thought. 'Wonder where–' The thought was cut off as a scream echoed down the forest.

One that sounded suspiciously as though it were in pain, but not necessarily against it. 'Akeno.' Lelouch thought dryly, recognizing the sound easily having caused the Queen to elicit that sound rather often during their spars when he caught her by surprise. Well, he knew where they were now at least.

Lelouch sped off into the direction of the scream, the wolf pup and the bird matching his increase in pace rather well.

Lightning flashed in a clearing and Lelouch felt his Wrath flare, smoky energy gathering around his right arm and a bloodthirsty grin splitting his face, before he burst through the underbrush ready to kill something.

It turned out to have been all for naught. The energy vanished from swirling around his arm, almost as incredulous as its master, when Lelouch beheld the ridiculous sight of green slime beginning to dissolve the clothing of everyone touched by it.

Kiba was lucky as the slime seemed to be content with his jacket as an offering, but the girls weren't so lucky as they seemed to have their clothes actively being disintegrated by the strange slime.

Lightning was flashing from Akeno and Rias was doing her part with her Power of Destruction to quell the apparent threat, but Lelouch felt almost cheated.

"What… the… fuck." He murmured, making his way over to Koneko who was ripping the perverted slime off of her with great prejudice.

As he stepped over Issei's fallen body, he noticed the wide-eyed look of glee on the pervert's face. He flicked a Void Shot at the sky, though this was one variation he'd been working on.

The slime stopped falling from the sky as the orb he had shot up began to spin around and absorb the raining material into itself.

"No!" Issei's voice sounded with despair as he watched the spell Lelouch had cast begin to destroy the creature he wanted as his Familiar. "Why?! That was supposed to be my Familiar!" His face was pale with terror as he looked to Lelouch with tears in his eyes.

"Why would you destroy such a beautiful thing?!" Was it possible that the Black Prince of Kuoh was gay? He and his friends had only spread that rumor as a joke, but it had backfired as the girls had only become more interested in the dark-haired boy.

"That was a Familiar candidate?" Lelouch murmured as he removed his uniform jacket and draped it gently over Koneko's shoulders. He ignored Issei's outburst save for that bit. Ignoring the pervert had become almost instinctive at this point.

"Thank you, Lelouch." Koneko spoke, a blush still covering her cheeks from the experience she had just undergone. 'I… think I can see Akeno's point.' Her blush deepened slightly as she zipped up the jacket her best friend had given her.

Pain wasn't necessarily all bad, the sting had been disturbingly pleasant as the slime began to disintegrate her clothing.

Thankfully Lelouch's jacket was long enough to cover her nearly ruined polka dotted panties along with her matching bra, she didn't want everything exposed like that.

Especially in front of that perverted Pawn. The angry Nekoshou pulled the jacket down as far is it could go, but she couldn't get it past mid-thigh as it would begin to slide from her shoulders otherwise.

"That slime is a parasite, the pervert wanted it so he could turn girls naked anytime he wanted." Her voice was tainted with disgust as she answered her friend, a reaction matched by Lelouch's face as he stared down at his fellow Devil with a sneer.

"I see how it is." Lelouch spoke with disdain as he stared at Issei with a disappointed look. "I had thought he had begun to change and have more respect than that." It seemed his assessment had been incorrect, Issei was still an incorrigible pervert.

'I don't like being wrong.' It was a feeling Lelouch was unused to, considering how well he was able to pick out what was going on within someone's mind most of the time.

He would have to ensure his assessment of Issei always factored in some sort of perverted motivation if he were going to be able to accurately judge the boy.

Perversion was natural, even healthy for pretty much everyone, but that boy and his two friends took things much too far for Lelouch's taste. It disgusted him.
