Chapter 3

And saw Rias standing in the doorway.

"Hey, Kenji" she said, slowly walking towards him. "I saw you working out."

"Okay. " Kenji said, in a monotone.

"Can you move? I need to change. " He then tried to move past Rias, but she grabbed his arm.

Kenji tried to pull away, but Rias was stronger than she looked.

"Kenji, why do you need to change in your room?" she asked. "You can always change down here."

"Right in front of you. " Kenji said, dryly.

"Unlike you, I actually respect my modesty. "

"Why do you be so modest around your family, though?" Rias asked, looking into Kenji's attractive violet and turquoise eyes. "We've all seen each other naked before."

"Valid. " Kenji admitted.

"But can you let me go?"

"Not without one of these. " Rias said, leaning into her brother and kissing him on the cheek.

Kenji tried to pull away, but Rias pressed harder.

"Rias, get, off!" Kenji pulled away and pushed Rias away at the same time, forcing Rias away. Rias looked at her younger brother.

"Come on, Kenji. Don't play hard to get.

Or actually, do. It'd make it all the sweeter when you finally confess how much you love me.

" Rias walked towards her younger brother, outstretching her arms. Kenji ducked under her arms and dashed out of the gym.

Rias watched her younger brother go.

"You can run but you can't hide, Kenji. " She whispered, before retreating to her room.

She knew that Kenji would eventually come to his senses and declare his love for his older sister.

He just didn't know that she knew yet.

Line Break

"Freaking Rias. " Kenji muttered to himself as he threw off his jeans and underwear, then pulled on a new set.

"Does she know anything about modesty? At all?" Rias had developed a slight brother-complex for Kenji recently, and she would. Not.

Leave. Him.

Alone.

Doesn't she know that there's a time for flirting with your younger brother and a time where you should let him listen to Guns N' Roses in peace?

There was a knock at his bedroom door, making Kenji look up.

"Come in. " he said.

The door opened, and Grayfia came in, holding something in her hand.

"Master Kenji-"

"Enough of the 'master' stuff, Grayfia, you know full well that I hate titles. " Kenji waved it off.

"Kenji. " Grayfia seemed to have difficulty not adding the 'm' word in front of it.

"An invitation has been extended to your family, and I was ordered to deliver it to you. "

"Thanks. " Kenji held his hand out, and Grayfia handed him the invite.

Kenji looked down it, raising an eyebrow.

Kenji Gremory, Heir to the House of Gremory, is formally invited to the monthly Devils Gathering, held at Bael Castle.

Formal attire recommended.

"Another one of those stupid Devil Gathering invites. " Kenji muttered.

Grayfia sighed, though she was used to her brother-in-law's attitude towards the Gatherings.

They were held once a month for Devils to attend and, to be blunt, flare their power in everyone's face. It was also a time where heirs and heiresses would be shown off, to give the Underworld a taste of who would lead the next generation of Devils, even if the next generation would take an extremely long time to come, as Devils lived for hundreds, maybe thousands, of years.

"Why can't you accept that they're a thing, Kenji?" she asked. "Don't you know that it's best for you to maybe do what your parents think is best for you?"

"Did Sairaorg do what his father told him to do?" Kenji countered. "No.

He went and did his own thing, despite his father telling him to give up because he didn't have the Power of Destruction. And look at him now."

Sairaorg Bael was Kenji, Rias and Sirzechs' cousin, and was known as the Strongest Youth. He had no demonic power whatsoever, and had failed to inherit the Power of Destruction, which his clan (and by extension, Kenji's clan, thanks to Sirzechs, Rias and himself) was famous for.

He was shunned and scorned by his own family and was exiled to the countryside of his family's territory. He then began to train his body in non-demonic ways, and became strong.

He also defeated his younger half-brother, Magdaran Bael, in a fight over who the Heir to the Bael Clan would be, and had the No. 1 strongest young Devil in the Underworld, earning him the nickname 'The Strongest Youth'.

Kenji looked up to him immensely, and he had taken Sairaorg's story as an example that no matter how weak you may seem at the start of anything you do, you can become the strongest, no matter what.

"Yes, but he's a rare example, Kenji. " Grayfia sighed.

"The gathering takes place tomorrow. Make sure you have something ready by then."

"Gotcha. " Kenji replied.

"Seeya then. " Grayfia bowed and retreated out of Kenji's room, shutting the door behind her.

Kenji yawned a huge yawn and looked at the invite.

"Formal attire recommended, huh?" Kenji smirked. "It doesn't say I have to wear anything formal.

" He looked over to his wardrobe, which was open.

"Meh, I'll deal with it later. " he said, to no-one in particular.

Kenji created a magic-circle and hopped through it, leaving the Gremory Mansion. "I need some me time."

Line Break

"Please welcome. " A random Devil announcer who no-one can be assed to think of a name for said, "The first heir and first heiress to the house of Gremory, Kenji and Rias Gremory!" Two magic-circles appeared, and at the top of a set of stairs, Kenji and Rias appeared out of them.

Rias was in the same red dress with black frills, and a small pair of red shoes with white socks. Her hair was done up, and she looked every bit the heiress of an aristocratic family in the Underworld.

She smiled widely at everyone who looked up at her. Which was quite a small amount of people, since everyone was too busy looking at Kenji, whom was the exact opposite..
