The Dance and the Kishin

It was the dance, finally. Freed had asked Blair out and she said yes. Much to his happiness. They were slow dancing and he could feel the curvaceous Cat girl's breasts pressed into his chest. His face broke out into a goofy smile as Blair rested her head on his shoulder.

"This is nice.." She whispered in his ear seductively, making a pleasant chill go up his spine.

"Yeah uh.. are you seeing anyone right now?" Freed asked, feeling Blair hug him tighter.

"Mmm.. Nope" She curtly responded as Freed closed his eyes and built up his courage.

"Say, Freed?~" She asked, voice low and almost pleading.

"Uh.. y-yeah?" Freed felt her press into himself even further, making his imagination run wild.

"How do you like my chest?" Blair asked, sounding a bit different now.

"Is it... firm 'an.. masculine?" Freed opened his eyes and standing before him was the nine foot Legendary Super Saiyan himself.

Freed slowly tried to back away like he was a dangerous animal. Though his arms were suddenly and firmly grasped as the man leaned down to his ear and slowly whispered.

"You dirty boy~" Freed screamed after he heard that line and was awakened, having broken out in a cold sweat.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!" He jumped up and clutched his sheets before an alarm clock smacked into his head, courtesy of Medusa.

"FREED, SHUT THE FUCK UP!!" She yelled at him, having been woken up by his screams.

"Ow! Ugh.. another dream.." Freed shivered in his bed.

"I told you not to read Uzumaki.." Medusa yawned.

"N..No.. the illusion" Freed corrected her, slowly calming down.

"Oh the muscular gay one. Well it's your fault. Just don't scare Crona with your screams or I'll help make that dream a reality" Medusa threatened, making the man groan as she walked away.

-Later that day, Evening-

The dance had officially started now (for real) and students were showing up with their partners as dates. Kid was acting as a host and greeting the crowd while the ORC had shown up with Maka and Soul. Kid looked a bit distracted due to a line a demonic human said during his last mission. He asked his Father what it meant but received no real answer. He was brought back to reality when he saw Neo walk into the front area with Raven, Neopolitan and Pyrrha.

"You.. Not symmetrical...!" He quietly freaked out as Patty laughed at him.

"Oh welcome back. You were staring off into space there" Neo said as she reveled in his breakdown.

Raven wore a black off the shoulder dress that showed off her ample cleavage and mid thighs. She was in red heels and looked only partially used to wearing them. Pyrrha wore a strapless red and gold dress with long heels and bronze decorated arm bands that went with her tiara. Neo and Neopolitan both put their hair in a ponytail with mirrored colors. Neo wore white, pink and brown and Neopolitan wore the same, but with different parts of her strapped dress in alternating colors.

"So have you thought about what song you'll sing, Miss Neo?" Maka chimed in behind her and asked.

"I was tempted to do 'Rasputin' but they wanted me to sing something else" Neo pointed back at Raven, Pyrrha and Neopolitan with an accusatory expression.

"I'm sure it'll be cool. Where's your blonde friend anyway? She's gonna miss the party" Soul asked right after, pointing out the missing person in their group.

"Ah Artoria? She's dealing with something at the moment. Trust me, it's important" Evading the question, Neo headed inside the dance hall with Raven, Pyrrha and Neopolitan.

"You actually think something's still gonna happen with Medusa on our side?" Raven asked, folding her arms as they stand by a food table.

"Yeah it's too good of an opportunity for our enemy to not strike now. With Death being out of his mirror and all" Neo commented, stacking food on her plate.

"You said Freed's power was originally what trapped everyone here, right? How would they do that without his power?" Pyrrha asked, watching over the dance hall.

"Well from what I've thought so far.. I think they'll either change the method or use some other space manipulation ability Reincarnator power" Neo responded, slowly eating as she watched the ORC enter.

Neopolitan nudged her and brought Neo's attention to Rias. Rias herself had gone above and beyond in dressing up for the dance. She was wearing some exquisite crimson dress that split at the middle of her chest with a small gold decorated band across it. It came with a small black cape that went to her back with black and white frilled stockings. Neo raised her brows at the effort she put in. She wasn't as dense to think she did this just for the dance though. She realized Rias had been discreetly checking her out since they arrived. She was fine leaving it as is but Rias recently made a step to try and see if she had feelings for her. She wasn't going to put down her earnest efforts after building up the courage to ask her to be her dance date. She even did her makeup, though she looked great without it.

Beside her was Akeno, who was wearing a blue and white kimono that went to her lower thighs with pink flowers decorating it. She was also wearing high heels with small devil wing decorations at the top. Koneko was wearing a white dress with layered frills and a small cat eared sash tied around her waist at her back. Gasper had been forced into a tuxedo, mainly because he wanted the interested looks of the guys to stop and Kiba simply wore a nice tuxedo.

"Oh, Neo! So.. how do I look?" Rias bashfully smiled, though with more confidence than before.

Neo liked seeing it and slowly nodded at her with a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.

"Well you look amazing. Absolutely beautiful, Rias" Neo earnestly complimented, bringing a pleased smile to Rias' face until she saw the girls beside her.

"Oh I mean.. er.." Rias tried to play it off in front of them, earning a snort from Neopolitan.

"Oh don't worry about them. I gave them my 'compliments' about their dresses as soon ad they wore them" Neo smirked.

"She means she couldn't keep her eyes and hands off us for ten minutes after we dressed up... and yeah, the compliments too" Raven coughed at the end.

"Yeah it was nice.." Pyrrha beamed as Neopolitan blushed a little with a prideful expression.

"That sounds ni-Okay uh shall we dance then..? The music started after Death's quick talk" Rias hid her red face as she offered.

"Well you are my date. You get first dance, of course" Neo took the Devil's hand and head her to the dance floor.

It was a rather generic song but they started to dance. One of Neo's hands on Rias' and one on her hip. Rias, of course had to look down at the smaller girl and of course, while she looked at her face, her eyes did often drift to her ample chest. More than once did this happen and every time, Rias would quickly look back at her face and chastise herself for it. Though it seemed like her reactions amused Neo quite a bit. So she spoke up the fifth time Rias quickly looked away.

"Ya know I don't mind, right? Jeez you're acting like a teenage guy with a girl he likes. But with your looks and disposition? It's a sight to see. Trust me though, I get it. I used to be like that" Neo danced around her as Rias flushed a little from being called out and decided to try and change the focus.

"I.. What do you mean? You used to be a guy who checked out the girl he liked?" Rias asked, albeit jokingly.

"Yes, actually. I used to be. Believe it or not, I was a normalish guy who'd gawk at girls" Neo snickered, seeing Rias' surprised face.

"Besides, I'm checking you out too" Neo informed her, making Rias flustered yet happy at the same time.

"I..Is that so? I don't know how to respond to that.." Rias looked off to the side, and admitted.

"You know it's okay, right? You don't have to rush anything. Just do whatever feels comfortable for you" Neo then leaned her head on Rias' and danced a little slower.

"Thanks.. I just need to sort my feelings out a bit. But I'd really like to know you better too" Rias calmed herself and matched her pace now.

"Well the song I have in mind is something I related to a lot before I came here. Maybe that'll help a bit" Neo hummed as the song ended and the dance partners separated.

"Then I look forward to hearing it" Rias smiled as they returned to their group.

"Oh is it time now!?" Pyrrha excitedly asked as Neo returned.

"Yeah but I'm still unused to it.." Neo finished with a small sigh and walked on over to the stage.

As soon as she went up, the song started its build up. The lights dimming as she took stage once again. She took a deep breath as the electric guitar started, opening it up for her as it stopped.

"When I open my eyes and see the lines that live on the life I left behind, I feel disconnected from the place I call home

When I try to rewind I can't design, a way to go back to that place and time, I remember that moment that changed everything I know... everything I know.."

There was a mute silence for three seconds as the dancers stopped to watch her perform. Her eyes were closed as she summoned the emotion to go onto the next verse and opened her eyes, looking at her group.

"Cut up into pieces, looking for a reason

who's gonna be there to make me whole?

I can't stop the bleeding!

Looking for a meaning!

Throw me a line and bring me back home

Won't you say something? Say something I can't do this alone..

Cut up into pieces, looking for a reason

Throw me a line and bring me back home.."

She continued singing 'Lifeline' and poured her past feelings into it. Its lyrics resonating with her past self and, to an extent her current self. The thing that still stays true about her even now. The abandonment issues she still has was seen clearly by Raven, Neopolitan, Pyrrha and now even Rias could see it, being privy to what Neo told her earlier. They watched with a sense of growing protectiveness for the girl singing on stage while the crowd appreciated good music.

-Outside DWMA-

A moving truck parked outside the large stairs of the DWMA and robed figures with white spider masks began to exit, blending in with the night. After ten of the figures poured out, a woman in a black dress with a spider web design stepped out with another, shorter woman in tow. She took a long puff of her pipe and nodded at the shorter woman, who then immediately disappeared from the location after.

"I hear modern music.. Oh, good. More reincarnators, I suppose. I'll have to be careful then. Thanks, Tenmei.. I have to deal with them, most likely" She sighed and proceeded to walk along the cobblestone road, tapping her feet along the ground as she did.

While she was doing that, small blue magic pulses were being sent through the floor. Going deep down under the streets until finally reaching an underground chamber where, instead of a sack of skin with three eye symbols, there was a chained man in white, covering robes. He simply grunted in response and slowly cracked his neck.

"Finally.. it's been so long with only the damn system to talk to" He said hoarsely from not using his voice in so long.

[OMAKE!]

Neo: Here I am, yet again to answer questions.. Oh I feel like a show host!

Author: Oh and I'm the producer!

Neo: ..Well let's get on with the questions, huh? Before the author tries to pat themselves on the back too much.. Okay! So can I go to Danmachi? I suppose that's possible? Still not sure where I'll go yet.

Author: I uh.. didn't watch Danmachi.. kinda hard for me to write about. Same thing with Genshin and Honkai. I just never play mobile games. I barely even play Fate GO really.

Neo: Next up is.. What Remnant was I in? I don't think I was in Icequeendom, Blazblue or that DC one I never heard of. Probably some version of Canon RWBY. Then there's the Deathscythe question. So we all have magic, which basically would make us Deathscythes if we ate evil souls.. I guess? So you can say we're Pseudo-Deathscythes.

Author: Yup. Next up are 'Go to BNHA', yes or no..? and as a man turned woman, how bad are periods? The last being if you'll make Rias' fantasies come true.

Neo: Ha! The author didn't read BNHA either! I choose.. yes? Oh and periods? Well.. I feared them at first. But it's managable.. The trick is, to make it someone ELSE'S problem. I frequently screwed with Cardin when I had them. Helped me vent.. And the Rias fantasy... SPOILER! How dare you ask for spoilers..

Author: We'll see.. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Neo: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Author: Lastly.. Opinion on Kingdom Hearts, favorite anime waifu and your favorite plot twist.

Neo: Actually the author has an experience with a KH fan that's pretty funny. I just played up till KH2 where I.. cringed hard at the dialogue. Best waifu? Damn.. I guess it'd have to be like.. every Saberface ever? Plot twist has to be that chick from Bakugan being the bad guy. If I missed your questions, go scream at the author! Later!
