*BANG!*
The dull clanging of metal reverberated through the azure sky.
"All right. I've got this one." Haru shouted and caught the soaring baseball with his gloved hand.
"Nice catch, Haru." Rias smiled and gave him a thumbs up, "Next week is Kuoh Academy's Ball Tournament. It's a battle between clubs that we can't lose." So said Rias with a firm voice.
A little bit away, Team Naru consisting of the King herself, Ravel, Kotarou, Ryofu, Gawain, Aya, and Mavis, was practicing for kickball.
"Fore!" Naru shouted as she did a galactic punt.
"Wrong game!" Ravel and Kotarou shouted at her.
The redhead's lower lip quivered, "But I like saying it."
"No." the two said in sync.
"Fine."
Meanwhile, with the ball…
A man in his twenties with black hair and golden bang who had a goatee was walking down the street as a fiery meteor came at him unsuspectingly.
He was checking out a sexy woman, his was guard down, just as the fiery kickball nailed him in the junk.
"OOUUU!" he shouted as he fell to his knees in unbelievable pain.
Back to the important people…
Naru tilted her head, "Huh, I wonder if I hit someone."
Ravel shrugged, "If you did, a normal person would perhaps be dead." She admitted
"Maybe I got lucky and hit an angel or something." Naru guessed
She was half right.
Aya giggled at this along with Mavis as Gawain shook his head.
"Wonderful, a kickball starts the next great war." He said with a dramatic sigh, but gave a tiny smile nonetheless.
Over by Team Rias, Naru sees a baseball nail her sister's Knight in the head with a smack!
The only Pawn of the Rias team yelled at him as the older King looked concerned for him.
That guy has been out of it lately. Naru had even heard that it became a hot topic around the school. "A prince in his thoughts." The girls were worried and excited over his expression. Sometimes she noticed Kiba glancing at Gawain with an odd look on his face.
Some of the girls questioned if the younger Knight was checking out the older one so they could BL. The fangirls squealed at this, loudly.
Lunch time, the next day…
Haru was arguing with his "friends" about the rumors they spread of him being some sexual beast, hunting all the bishoujo of the ORC. Luckily they didn't start any of the younger Gremory and her Peerage or they would no doubt be ash from that fiery Queen.
He had to go to the club room, so after he put his empty lunch box back into his bag. He turned to see where Asia was and saw her chatting with another school girl, along with the fairy girl Mavis, who was chatting happily with the Italian girl and the non-devil.
The two Bishops had taken a liking to each other, since as it turned out, the fairy girl was also kind of sheltered to things in the real world like the maiden. They tended to chat a lot with Mavis, even explaining some magic to Asia on the side. The Italian girl seemed excited about it.
He also saw the Rook of the tiny King eating her food at a fast pace as other girls surrounded her and they had an "awww" face on while continuing to give her food as her ahoge twitched in happiness.
Moe!
After telling his friends how awesome seeing real oppai was and them telling him to die, he walked up to his housemate, "Hey Asia. Finished lunch?"
"Asia, your boyfriend is calling."
The glasses-wearing girl sitting near Asia, Kiryuu Aika, said so with a perverted face.
"B-b-b-boy friend!?"
"Eh? Am I wrong? But the two of you are always together, so I thought you two were going out."
"Well, you two do seem close." Mavis said with her fingers together and a smile. Her fairy voice carried a lighthearted teasing tone.
"T-t-that's… Auu…" Asia's face began to turn crimson.
"Hmmm. Is that so? You guys look like a couple. You're always together and get along well, kinda like a combination. You guys are also living together with your parents' permission, right? A young boy and a girl living under one roof. That'll be… Mufufufu. By the way, I was the one who told her about 'bathing together'! So?! Did you enjoy it?!"
"It was you! What do you mean 'combination'!? Don't say things as if we were robots that can combine! It's rude! Well… I do want to do these things, but I can't do something like that to Asia!"
"Hmm. That's weird. Asia li… Mugah!"
Asia covered Kiryuu's mouth with both hands, "Aaaah! Please stop, Kiryuu-san!"
Mavis just seemed to find their antics funny as she skipped over to Ryofu and whispered into her ear. The redhead nodded and stood up while muttering a small thank you for the food.
The Rook really seemed to be gaining major points; some have even said that she is starting to rival Koneko for the position of school mascot.
"Anyway, Asia. We were told to go to the club room so let's go."
"Okay!"
"Ah, don't leave us behind!" Mavis said as she and Ryofu fast walked up to them.
When they entered the room, the other members were already there….and there were also those who didn't belong to the club here as well.
"Student President…" Haru said in a shocked tone.
"Oh so you didn't mention us to Hyoudou, Rias-senpai? It's also weird not to notice us, when we are Devils as well." Said Saji.
The Kaichou then said it quietly to the secretary guy, "Saji, it can't be helped because we are not supposed to contact each other at normal times. Also it hasn't been that long since he became a Devil. Hyoudou-kun is responding like he is supposed to."
A snort was heard, "It's not like you guys are good at hiding your signatures anyway, the Sitri heiress and the Gremory heiress are good at hiding it, along with the Queen's in the room… though Naru seems to like bleeding out her power at times." The noble vampire girl commented on as she sat in a chair that looked like a cat.
"Hm, I'll take that under advisement." Kaichou said with a nod to the Bishop.
"The Kaichou, Shitori Souna-sama's real name is Sona Sitri. She's a High-class Devil who is the next heir of the house of Sitri." Akeno explained to the shocked Haru and clueless Asia, "The house of Sitri is one of the 72 pillars that survived the Great War just like the house of Gremory and the house of Phenex. This school is actually controlled by the house of Gremory, but at day time, it is the student council… in other words the house of Sitri is in control. The time of being in charge is split between day-time and night-time."
The secretary guy spoke, "You guys are getting a peaceful school life because Kaichou and us, the Devil servants of Sitri, are working at daytime. It won't be bad for you to remember that, you know? By the way, my name is Saji Genshirou. I'm in second year, and I am Kaichou's Pawn."
"Oooh, the same year as me and also the same Pawn as me!" Haru said in a happy tone.
The secretary guy, Saji, made the opposite reaction and sighed, "Actually you damaged my pride very badly. For you, one of the three pervs, to be the same Pawn as me…."
"W-What did you say!?"
"Geez, this guy is acting so self righteous about it." Kotarou said with his hands behind his head while turning to Aya, who nodded in agreement.
"Oh? You wanna go at it? Even if I look like this, I'm a Pawn that consumed 4 pieces of Pawns. Even if I just turned into a Devil, I won't lose against someone like Hyoudou." Saji made a provoking comment against him, but Kaichou glared at him sharply.
"Saji, stop that."
"Bu… but Kaichou!"
"The reason we came here is to introduce our new servants amongst fellow High-class Devils where we both have this school as our base. In other words it is a meeting to introduce you and Rias' servants, Hyoudou-kun and Asia-san, along with Naru's Peerage. If you are my servant, then don't make a shame out of me. Besides…" Kaichou then looked at Haru, "Saji, you can't win against Hyoudou-kun right now. He is the one who defeated the third son of the house of Phenex. Consuming 8 Pawn pieces was not just for show."
"8 pieces!? Wait, this is the guy who defeated the Phenex!? For this guy to beat that Riser….. I thought that it was Kiba or Himejima-senpai who rescued Rias-senpai…"
"My brother was an arrogant twit; it was bound to happen sooner or later. Losing to his fellow pervert, I think it is somewhat fitting." Ravel stated with a hmph as she found the topic distasteful.
"Apologize then for bringing up something unpleasant to you Ravel-san, I am sorry as well to you Hyoudou Haru-kun, Asia Argento-san. My servant hasn't experienced as much battles as you two, so he still has some rude attitude in him. If it's okay, can you please get along with him?" Kaichou said it to them while smiling, "Saji." She said sharply.
"Eh? Ye… yes! Please get along with me…" Saji also bowed his head down at Haru reluctantly. He seemed like he wasn't satisfied with it.
"Yes. Let's get along." Asia replied back with a big smile.
"If it's Asia-san, then I am very happy!" Saji grabbed Asia's hand.
Haru grabbed his hand and the two began to make rude comments to each other in cheery tones.
"You must have a hard time."
"You too."
Buchou and Kaichou both made a sigh while looking at them.
Naru was giggling, "I almost feel sorry for you two."
"Chi. Members of the student council are stronger than the members of your club." Saji said it while letting go of Haru's hand.
"Oh! Is that a challenge I hear?" Kotarou said as his ears showed up out of his hair and grinned at Saji like a predator would to prey.
"Shh, Kota-kun." Naru said in her childish tone as the boy shrugged his shoulders. The male Sitri Pawn was kinda annoying him.
Really, the piece you have does not make you better then another piece, or the number of pieces you took in, it was how well you fought.
Kaichou took a sip of green tea and said it with a small voice, "I love this school. I also think that the work of the student council is worth the effort. That's why I will not forgive those that ruin the peaceful life of this school. Whether they are human or Devils. That applies to you, the people in here, and also Rias and Naru… especially the little prankster." She said while eying Naru.
Who of course was whistling innocently and averted her eyes from the stern heiress.
"Naru."
"Okay, okay, I promise I won't do anything… permanent."
"Naru."
"I think that is the best you'll get Sitri-san." Ravel said in a dry tone.
Sona just gave Naru her soul piercing glare that made the younger King shrink under it.
"C'mon!"
*STARE!*
"Fine, fine, just stop!"
"Heh."
"You have to show me how to do that." Rias quipped as she saw Naru using Ravel as a makeshift shield to protect her from "the glare".
Sona dropped the look and made an amused face towards the older Gremory, "Years of practice from having to deal with Onee-sama. Those two may share the same personality at times, but it is sadly only half as effective to Onee-sama."
That had gotten a laugh from the older Kings as the younger pouted at them.
"I think this is enough for introducing our rookies. Then we will pardon ourselves now. There's also a document which I want to finish during lunch time." the Kaichou said and got up and tried to leave.
"Kaichou. No Sona Sitri-san…. sama. I will be in your care from now on."
"Y… yes! Please take care of us!"
Haru and Asia said with a bow.
"Yes, let's get along." Kaichou replied and smiled at them as she peered at Naru's Peerage, "It was a pleasure to meet your Peerage as well Naru." She said with a nod to the youngest King in the room, "Rias, I will be looking forward to the Ball Tournament. Same to you Naru, good luck." The Kaichou said to the Gremory with a smile, before she left the room.
"Yes, me as well."
"You bet'cha!"
"Haru, Asia. Get along with Saji-kun. You will also meet the other members of the student council who are Devils, but don't fight with them. Since we are all spending our school life at the same school. Okay?" Rias said to them while smiling.
"Yes!"
"Same to you guys! Even if he looks like an idiot, no need to make him feel worse about himself." Naru said to her group as everyone sweatdropped at her words.
If Saji were still here, it would have no doubt hurt to have a cute girl say that about him.
"Well, if your little standoff of the powers in this place is over, I'll depart." Rachel said as she stood from her chair and it turned into her umbrella. Clearly showing that she was only here for important matters.
"Tch, go back to your hole rabbit." The only teacher in the room said.
"Still all bark and no bite dog." Was the cool toned return.
Those two really don't get along well, do they?
