Chapter 43 Kriegan has commissoned several chapters.

My lovely Nekoshou trio over the course of serval hours of sharing life force between the four of had greatly fixed up my life force issues.

The sharing of all four of our life forces wasn't a simple deal of addition between us. It was multiplicative as we basically almost fused into a single candle of ever-burning lifeforce that brought a great deal of vitality back to my lifeforce.

More than doing the same length of treatments with Koneko for a whole week honestly. So, although we didn't go any further than making out and Koneko getting a bit of an oral/taste fixation for my skin. I was able to at the end of my first treatment walk around without issues and not feel my soul fraying at the hidden stress within my body.

When I got back to Rias in the main section of the club building, I saw an extra-large box put against the side of the wall. Like it was a luxury-sized refrigerator-sized box... So, I think Gaspar was hiding in it or something. But with him not being introduced to me I tried to put the weird box out of sight.

"Hey Rias," I spoke softly as I waved to her as I came in and Rias smiled widely as she all but danced around her desk to pull me into a super tight hug.

"Jake! I can see you are looking even better!" Then she pulled back and gently cupped my cheeks as she leaned in to press her forehead against my own so she could stare into my eyes. "No really... Your eyes are literally brighter than they were, so your life force and soul must have made a decent recovery." Rias softly spoke as she caringly looked across my form and feeling her affection I held onto her cheeks in turn and dipped in.

"Should I go get!" I cut her off as I dipped in, and I stole Rias's lips with my own. I let one hand go of her cheeks so I could wrap the arm around her waist to fully pull her into me and I made sure she enjoyed the kiss as much as she could without just making her orgasm or anything.

"Hey, Rias... Love you." I said softly as I pecked her lips again before pulling back again while spinning her around so I could pull her onto a nearby couch with her on my lap so I could tuck my chin on her head as my arms wrapped around her waist.

"Muoooh this is cheating Jake..." Rias whispered kind of embarrassedly as Akeno tittered in the background even raising a hand to her cheek as she watched the delightful scene. "Akeno don't take pictures!" Rias hissed but in response, I only held her tighter and even bit her earlobe out of sight of the camera making Rias freeze in place as Akeno's camera loudly made shuttering noises.

"Alright, Akeno that's enough," I called out before Rias could freak out. "So, what's been going on Rias, you said you had business to take care of before Koneko took me to have a nap"

"Tsk tsk Jake. Did all you and Koneko do is merely take a nap?" Akeno teased and I threw her an unimpressed look. "Yes in fact... Anyway, ignoring her, Rias what were you about to say." I said softly to the beauty in my arms who giggled at how affectionate I was before she spoke with some seriousness in her voice.

"Ah, well I wasn't planning on having you take part, but I have a report of a stray devil's location and Sona has given the mission to me. Well because I wanted to get you the body or capture the stray devil for you... Because I know you would want it, Jake." Rias spoke leaning back so her bright eyes could look up to me and disregarding her hormonal balance that I could read with my flesh-crafting powers. I saw true love within Rias's eyes as she looked back up to me.

As a man, I looked into Rias's eyes, and I saw naught but affection for me, and a desire for me to confirm her actions made me happy. So, I obviously nodded. "Yes, Rias that would be nice... Plus it will give me something to use the Sephiroth Graal on that would normally just be killed and be rendered into dust by your Power of Destruction." I responded making Rias proudly smile as I basically complimented her on her forward thinking.

"So, my soul is fine even though my life force is still a bit weak. Akeno did you go and get anything with your Mother's DNA yet?" I asked the now pure-blooded devil who was waiting at the end of the couch for our flirting to end. Akeno perked up nodding hurriedly as she spoke. "Yes! I still have a brush with uhm a full load of just her own hair." She said excitedly and I nodded in understanding. "Are you going to try to resurrect her now!" She asked me breathlessly. I shook my head as I quickly responded.

"Not just yet. I need to make her a new body so that way when I call on her spirit, I can just shove the spirit into her new body and the cost to me will be negligible and I won't just die in the attempt." I explained and Akeno took a deep breath and she then swallowed.

"So anyway, how about after we deal with that stray devil, and I get some experience in messing with souls using my Sephiroth Graal as a medium, I can summon the spirit of your mother while I work on creating her body." "By the way what is up with the box anyway?" I asked pointedly as I looked to the box that literally jumped in place as my eyes snapped to the hand hole that I wouldn't be surprised Gaspar was looking out of.

And I was right as a purple haze of magic filled the air and both Rias and Akeno froze as time stopped under Gaspar's time-stopping sacred gear. But they didn't stay frozen for long as they broke out of Gaspar's Forbidden Balor's View ability as the trapped vampire made his box hop across the room as he switched spots. But thanks to my own power level as well as having two Longinus's I wasn't frozen at all, so I got to watch Gaspar awkwardly move his large box across the room before it laid to rest beside the dresser that Rias kept her spare Kuoh uniforms.
