Her eyes widened for a moment. "Your eyes." She said simply and he realized his new power was still active.

'Shit.' Lelouch thought before deactivating his power once again. "Later." He whispered, as he turned his attention to Akeno as she finished up the battle.

This strange power had reacted to a threat before Lelouch even thought to use it, he wondered why that was.

Akeno raised her arms up and prepared to end the battle. But not without a little fun. "You're not the only one who likes to play rough here.

" Akeno declared with a voice Lelouch was having a hard time associating with the kind young woman he knew.

Lelouch watched in shock as he watched Akeno giddily torture the Stray with her lightning magic.

"She… has issues." He murmured, before blinking at the sheer amount of hypocrisy in that statement coming from him.

Koneko just stared blankly before muttering, "Sadist." Lelouch nodded in agreement, sweating slightly before Rias finally called her off.

He overheard Rias saying Akeno was really into S&M. Lelouch felt that was a serious understatement as he watched a blushing Akeno whine about not being able to finish after she was called off by Rias.

He didn't know if she meant the battle or something else and he really didn't want to know.

Lelouch and Koneko walked over to the defeated Stray along with Rias and the others of her Peerage.

Lelouch wanted to see what Rias could do, he had seen everyone else, including Issei for as quick as his Sacred Gear had been used, and he wanted to see what the King could do in this interesting twist on his favorite game.

He was glad to see Rias didn't treat true battle like chess. Despite his love for the strategy and the game itself, Lelouch knew that chess and war didn't mix very well.

He was happy Rias knew that as well when she was ordering her Peerage into battle.

"Let's get this over with." Rias declared before requesting everyone stand back. Lelouch stopped around where Akeno stood, keeping about a foot of distance between himself and her, with Issei and Kiba taking up her other side.

Together, the five of them all watched as Rias used her own magic. A magic that intrigued Lelouch as he could feel the sheer destructive force the spell contained.

"Game over." Rias declared as a dark power began to gather before her, making Lelouch shiver as he felt the concept of Destruction be unleashed upon the Stray. In an instant, the Stray wasn't just killed.

It was absolutely annihilated. There was not a single sign that its body had even existed.

Ignoring Rias' statement that they were done, Lelouch disagreed. "What… was that?" He hadn't felt anything that destructive since he witnessed the F.L.E.I.J.A. and even then that weapon was produced by humans for large scale warfare.

Rias' spell, it was almost similar in sheer destructive force to that terrible weapon, yet it only targeted the Stray.

Everything surrounding it was completely unharmed except for what had happened during the battle.

"That was my Power of Destruction." She answered her Knight. "It is a gift from my bloodline and, unlike other Devil Magic, cannot be learned by those outside of my family.

" Rias turned. "That's enough of a lesson for now, let's go home." She smiled at them before beginning to walk out.

Issei remained silent before asking a question. "What Piece am I?" The young boy wanted to know what kind of attributes he'd have.

"Am I something badass like a Knight?" Rias giggled and answered. "You're a Pawn." Issei began complaining, but Lelouch ignored it as he walked out with Koneko following him along with Kiba and Akeno.

He was tired, this day was depressing and exhausting. Lelouch just wanted to go home and get some sleep.

Still, he looked appraisingly at the mansion just before he left. 'Perhaps I can use this.' He thought to himself, putting off further considerations for another day.

The Peerage began to split up as they had to take different routes to get home. Issei split first, with Kiba and Akeno leaving in different directions as well. Leaving just the small group of Rias, Koneko, and Lelouch.

"I'll talk with Akeno before the end of classes tomorrow to set up a training schedule for you, alright Lelouch?" Rias asked, making sure to remind him about his request to learn Devil Magic.

"I don't quite know how well you'll do considering your reserves aren't that high, but if you already used it during your contract on some level it should come to you easier the more you practice.

" She didn't feel much magical energy coming from the dark-haired boy, but if he already did it once working on the basics shouldn't give him too much trouble.

"Thanks Rias," Lelouch responded tiredly, barely holding back a yawn. He blinked as he realized he and Koneko had arrived home.

"See you tomorrow." He waved tiredly before unlocking the door, Koneko slumping slightly next to him. He glanced at her, ignoring Rias' own goodbyes, noticing she looked about as tired as he felt. Her uniform was in tatters.

"If you want I can help you buy a replacement uniform." He offered, it would be another way he could repay her for helping him get new clothes after he lost everything.

"I don't think that can be repaired easily enough for you to keep it." It had been shredded by whatever was in that Stray's mouth.

Koneko looked herself over and shook her head. "The Student Council can get me a replacement easily enough.

" The petite girl yawned, slowly making her way towards the stairs. "We can talk about your eyes later." She felt her head beginning to dip tiredly. "I just wanna sleep.

" Koneko murmured, leaning against the wall near the stairs and reminding Lelouch about his strange power activating during the battle. "Goodnight, don't forget breakfast." She demanded sleepily before heading up the stairs.

"Goodnight." Lelouch responded, not able to conceal a yawn this time around. He shook his head slightly in amusement at the order for breakfast. Koneko could never get enough of his food it seemed.
