Chapter 25
xXxXxXxXxX
Rena dressed in the Kuoh Academy girl's uniform knocked on Vince's door. "Vince. It's time to go to school. Vince?"
She pressed her ear against the door and frowned. "Rias. Are you sure Vince hasn't already gotten up?"
"No. I tried opening the door but Vince locked." Rias pouted a bit before she shook her head. "Kasumi and Akari tried opening the door along with calling out his name but there's no response."
"I see. Well, I've dealt with this before. Vince is most likely sleeping like a log. He is not a morning person." Rena admitted shaking her head.
"I can tell." She replied sighing.
Kasumi walked in with her tied in a high ponytail with a blue ribbon, dressed in the Kuoh Academy girl's uniform. "Breakfast is ready. Did Vince come out yet?"
"No."
Akari walked in with a slightly worried expression also dressed in the same uniform, without a ponytail letting her hair going down to her lower shoulders. "I'm a little worried about Vince. He hasn't said much since he got that call from his father."
"I am too. This type of subject was always sensitive for him." Kasumi spoke sadly.
"I'll go open the door. Vince has done this in the past before." Rena said sighing.
"Really? How come?" Rias asked raising an eyebrow.
"Whenever Vince is furious he always secludes himself to his room and locked the door. Knowing him he probably placed something to block the door." She explained walking towards the door.
"What are you going to do Rena?" Akari questioned.
"This." Rena raised her foot slightly and kicked the door with enough force to send it flying into the wall, surprising the three at the strength of her kick.
Rias' eyes quickly narrowed however while Rena walked into the room.
Kasumi noticed Rias' expression and turned towards her. "What's wrong Rias?"
"That was Touki she used." Rias answered frowning.
"Touki. It's what the users of Senjutsu use when they trained enough, correct?" Kasumi asked as Rias nodded.
"Yes."
"Maybe that means that Rena isn't exactly human?" Akari offered.
"That most likely seems to be the case." Rias stated crossing her arms.
Rena walked into Vince's room and noticed him still sleeping. She walked towards the futon and nudged him. "Vince. It's time to wake up we have to go to school."
Vince however continued to sleep, ignoring her. Rena sighed and nudged him harder. "Vince wake up."
"Rena, more..." He mumbled.
A blush appeared on her face upon hearing him. "Is he dreaming about those time we-" She quickly shook her head and this time shook Vince.
Vince groaned and opened his eyes. His expression still dazzed and half-awake. He turned towards Rena and kissed her on the lips.
Her eyes widened as Vince clusily wrapped his arms around Rena's waist and deepened the kiss. Their tongues intertwined as Rena wrapped her arms around his neck. The two continued to kiss each other while holding each other intimately. Vince then placed his hands on Rena's breasts and started rubbing against it. Rena moaned into the kiss while he continued to rub his hands against her breasts.
"What are you two doing!?" Rias shouted as she walked into the room with Kasumi and Akari quickly following.
Akari teleported between the two and pulled them apart while Kasumi frowned. "Is this how you normally wake up Vince?"
"I didn't! Vince woke up half-asleep and kissed me." Rena exclaimed with a flushed face.
"I doubt that." Rias replied in a tone that didn't believe her.
"Vince, it's time to get up." Akari said shaking him.
Vince grumbled and opened his eyes half-way. He looked at Akari and pulled her into a hug causing her to blush. Vince placed his hand on her ass and rubbed it sensually while placing his lips on hers.
Rias' eyes widened before she glared at Akari with a jealous expression. Kasumi for the most part looked surprised but quickly turned into annoyance as soon as she saw Akari returning the kiss with much fervor while lowly moaning from feeling Vince's hand on her ass.
Rias and Kasumi quickly yanked Akari away from Vince while Rena touched her lips with her hand and lightly blushed.
Akari frowned and angrily glared at the two. "What was that for!?"
"You were taking advantage of Vince in his sleep." Kasumi said calmly while glaring at Akari.
"And you were kissing my fiancé!" Rias shouted also glaring at her.
"Vince kissed me Kasumi and isn't that just a title until things settle down Rias?" Akari retorted.
Rias glared at Akari and she in turn glared at her. Kasumi and Rena shook their heads and sighed.
"Isn't the most important thing at the moment to wake up Vince? At this rate, we'll all be late for school." Rena asked with Kasumi nodding in agreement.
"Rena is right. Today is an important day we can't be late to school." Kasumi added.
"True. I'll try to wake up Vince." Rias said walking towards him. She kneeled down towards his futon with her face close to his. "Wake up Vince."
She kissed him on the lips much to the others ire. Vince groaned and grabbed Rias by the waist surprising her. He pulled her towards him and held her closely causing her to blush, Vince placed his left hand on her breasts while placing his right hand inside of her skirt and in between her legs slightly rubbing his hand which caused Rias to moan as a result.
Rena frowned at the provocative position as Kasumi and Akari pulled Rias away from Vince. Akari then glared at her. "How is that going to wake him up!?"
"I thought it would work." Rias said with an innocent smile.
Kasumi sighed and turned towards Vince. "I'll wake him up this time."
She gently nudged him. "Vince you have wake up. Breakfast is ready and we have to go to school."
Vince groaned and opened his eyes he sleepily looked at Kasumi and kissed her full on the lips. Her eyes widened as a blush appeared on her face as she felt Vince deepened the kiss his tongue. Kasumi wrapped her hands around his neck and started to kiss him back. Much to Kasumi's surprise Vince placed his left hand inside of Kasumi's shirt and bra then started to lightly pinched her nipples, much to everyone's dismay and Kasumi's embarrassment.
Rena pulled Kasumi letting Vince fall on the futon again. She shot her annoyed look while Rias and Akari glared at her. Kasumi looked away while trying to fix her uniform.
Before anyone could say anything Vince sat up and opened his eyes. He yawned loudly getting everyone's attention. He rubbed his eyes and looked at everyone with a small frown. "Why are you four in my room?"
"We've been trying to get you up for the past ten minutes. Breakfast is ready and we're going to be late for school at this rate. Also... that happened again." Rena explained blushing a little.
"That again?" Vince asked with a confused expression.
"You were feeling us up when we tried to get you up. I don't mind trying to wake up again Vince." Akari spoke giggling a little causing Rias and Kasumi to shoot her an annoyed look.
Vince's eyes widened before he shook his head. He removed the bed comforters from his futon and got up. (Fucking hell. I can't believe that happened.)
Vince blinked twice upon noticing the four young women staring at him with noticeable blushes. "What's with the blush?"
Kasumi said nothing but pointed a finger between his legs. He looked and facepalmed when realizing that he had a full blown erection that was noticeable even through his baggy night clothes. (...Oh god dammit!)
Vince ran towards the bathroom with enough speed to become a blur surprising even Rias at his speed.
"...Vince grew up a little bit more from when I last saw him." Rena commented while blushing, causing the other three to turn towards her.
"How big was he?" Akari asked bluntly.
"...My jaw was sore when that first happened." She said looking away with a embarrassed expression.
Rias, Kasumi and Akari gave Rena a jealous look while she then smiled. Vince walked out of the bathroom dressed in his uniform as he spoke. " I remember that. It happened after school. That was a good stress reliever that day."
The three adopted a more jealous look and glared at Rena while she blushed at the memory and glared at him. "Vince!"
xXxXxXxXxX
Vince frowned as he entered the school courtyard with Rias, Kasumi, Akari and Rena all holding on to him tightly. He tried to move out of the way but they held a tight grip on him. Vince scowled and settled for adjusting for his headphones that almost fell off from around his neck. (Fucking hell. I haven't been able to get away since I finished eating breakfast. It also doesn't help that Rena also has a tight grip on me.)
Most of the male students that saw him had their eyes widened in shock and confusion from seeing Vince being held tightly by four very attractive women, while the some of the female student's eyes widened with some blushing a little from seeing Vince.
"Hey, are you seeing this!?" A male student said.
"Yeah, how is it that Reinhart has that many women hanging off of him, along with Rias-sama!?" Another male student exclaimed.
"Seriously. How are those three hot girls? Especially the twins?" Another male student asked joining in the conversation.
"I can't believe Rias-oneesama is with the Lone Wolf and with those other three women." A female student commented while blushing.
"They look as beautiful as Rias-oneesama." Another female student whispered.
The students that witnessed this continued to whisper amongst themselves while Rena, Rias, Kasumi and Akari continued to walk together with Vince while holding him tightly.
(Arrgh! I can't believe this is happening and I still can't get away. It's hard to fucking breathe!) Vince thought in annoyance.
"Ara, you seem to be having fun Vince-kun." Akeno said holding a hand to her mouth and laughed.
"I'm being suffocated by estrogen. This look like I'm having fun!?" Vince exclaimed while trying move out of the way but to no avail.
The other four gave Vince an annoyed look and held on to him tighter while Akeno smiled. He looked at her annoyed. "You're not helping either. Because you're... well you're you."
Akeno also gave Vince an annoyed look and spoke. "That's not very nice of you Vince-kun. Perhaps I should punish you."
Vince deadpanned in response. "I can still tie you up with rope you know."
Akeno placed a hand on her cheek and smiled with a small blush appearing on her cheeks. "Oh? Well, I can't wait Vince-kun."
"Hn." He placed his headphones on his ears and turned up the volume effectively ignoring her and everyone around him. Which caused the five girls that were around him to frown.
Noticing the time Vince waved goodbye and silently went to class. Upon entering the classroom, he sat down near his desk lowered the volume of his headphones and looked out the window, ignoring everyone again.
A few hours has passed since class started with Issei and Xenovia glancing at Vince with concerned looks as he stood quiet and only spoke when asked a question. As soon as he heard the bell for lunch Vince got up from his seat and walked out of the classroom. (Might as well go to the roof. It's the only quiet place there.)
Vince looked out of the roof with a scowl. He took a slice of frozen pizza and stuffed it in his mouth before gulping down a cup of instant ramen. Vince continued stuff his face with frozen pizza and instant ramen. "Mmmmngh!"
Vince started pounding his chest from choking on his food. Thinking quickly he grabbed a bottle of water and opened it along with his mouth. The water got of the bottle and went directly into his mouth. It forcibly shoved the food down his throat. After swallowing the food Vince started coughing and gasping for air as he held on to the railing of the roof with his hand. (Dammit. I almost choked myself. Tch, to much has been happening lately with everything going on it's coming out to be one chaotic maelstrom. ...Last night didn't help either... stupid bastard. As if, I was going to do something like that. He really doesn't know who I am.)
(Flashback)
"Again with the attitude. Did Elena not teach you manners?" A voice spoke up from the cellphone.
Vince scowled at the comment and released some killing intent. He noticed the others looking in the room looking at him with worried expressions, with the exception of Grayfia whom gazed at him with a stoic expression. Without much option, he grunted and left the room. He walked out of the house and spoke up. "Kind of hard to use manners on a person that's full of empty promises. Now get to the point. What do you want? I'm pretty sure you didn't call to see how I was doing."
Vince noticed his father's tone slightly winced over the line. (I wonder what he's really up to.)
Vince's father cleared his throat. "I'm calling to convince you to return to Florida. In exchange, I'll visit you and will buy you whatever you want. Like that game system you wanted back then."
Vince's hand crackled with electricity, trying to control his anger he shot out a bolt of lightning from his hand. The bolt of lightning pierced right through a cement wall leaving large hole in it. "...You don't get it do you?"
"Get what?"
"After you've lied to me for so many years, do you really think I'll believe you just like that? I don't have any obligation to listen to you either. You gave easily gave custody to my mother as far as I'm concerned you're not my father. The only tie we have is me inheriting your disgusting genetics." Vince remarked harshly as black markings appeared on his face.
"Listen you, I don't have to listen to this!" Vince's father yelled.
"Then don't. This is my life, and you're not part of it." Vince violently closed his cellphone as his body was enveloped in demonic energy while the black markings on his face grew longer in length. The black markings and demonic energy suddenly faded before Vince's entire body was enveloped by a pitch black aura. "...Urrrgh."
The pitch black aura suddenly faded as he felt a strong pulse of holy energy entering in his body and a white aura enveloped his body. Suddenly both the white aura and black aura clashed violently.
Vince fell to the ground coughing violently and shivering in pain. (Aaaarrgh... damn both of these swords are causing hell in my body. ...Why the hell can't these two energies work together like Holy-demonic energy?)
His chest heaved rapidly with heavy panting he gripped his chest with his hand. Vince leaned against a building and closed his eyes. (Got to...calm down and focus...)
He took a deep breath and after a few minutes of staying still until the black and white aura disappeared. Vince opened his eyes and looked up to see Sirzechs and Grayfia looking at him. "...I guess you two say everything, huh?"
"Kind of hard not to. You released a lot of demonic energy and holy energy Vince-kun. Does this have to do with Arondight and the Totsuka-no-Tsurugi?" Sirzechs questioned.
Vince grunted in pain but scowled. "...Rias told you."
"She did. But she told us in person, Rias wanted to make sure that only we knew about the identity of your holy-sword along with your recent journey to obtain Arondight." He explained after seeing his suspicious expression.
"With the exception of you two Rias hasn't told anyone yet?" Vince asked raising an eyebrow.
"Nope."
(I'll let this slide. Rias did say that it's pretty much mandatory to give a report on what happens. But she did say this in person to avoid anyone else finding out.) Vince thought as he started to walk away while limping.
He almost fell to the floor but was caught by Grayfia. "You mustn't strain your body Vince-sama."
"Tch."
"Grayfia is right Vince-kun. Having two opposite energies violently clash inside of your body will drain you. But you're full of surprises, being able to withstand those holy and demonic energy from two powerful swords." Sirzechs spoke sounding impressed.
"..."
Vince said nothing as his eyes closed, falling unconscious.
(Flashback End)
He shook his head at the memory. Vince looked ahead of the roof with a tired expression.
"Is something wrong Vince-kun?" A familiar voice asked.
Vince turned around to see Akeno with a concerned expression. He folded his arms and looked at her. "...Nothing's wrong. Are you here because of Rias?"
"Well, Buchou wanted me to tell to come to the club today. It's very important." Akeno said.
"How important?"
"Buchou wants everyone to meet the other bishop." She explained.
Vince placed his hands in his pocket and rolled his eyes. "So how exactly is that important?"
"Don't be rude Vince-kun." Akeno replied frowning.
"Hn."
"Also there is one more thing Vince-kun-" To his surprise Akeno's expression turned slightly nervous. "Can you come by where I live tomorrow?"
"Why?" He questioned.
"I want to tell you something in private. Is that okay with you Vince-kun?" Akeno asked looking at him.
"I don't mind. There's just two problems Akeno-" Vince stated causing her to look sad. "I don't know where you live and I have no idea what time to come by."
Akeno blinked twice before she giggled. "Of course."
The bell suddenly sounded off making Vince sigh. "We better get going. You can give the information later, right?"
"Yeah."
Vince nodded and walked away, unaware of the small smile on her face.
xXxXxXxXxX
"Vince, it's after school are going to go see Rias and the others?" Rena asked walking with him.
"I will. I want to take care of something first. The sooner I get it done the better, by the way how was your first day of college?" Vince questioned with a curious expression.
"It was... unique. I had some fun hanging out with Kasumi and Akari during lunch. I didn't like that I kept getting ogled by the guys in college." She answered frowning.
"Why?"
Rena lightly slapped his arm and looked at him with a small blush on her face. "Because I want you to do that."
"Oh." Vince looked the other way with an awkward expression. "So... Am I going to see your real self again?"
"You might. If you call Rossweisse now the last time I talked to her she was worried about you. The news of your recent actions even reached to were she was." Rena said crossing her arms, causing her breasts to rise.
"...Really?"
"Yes, she was. Knowing Rossweisse she's probably looking for any new information on her free time." She replied sighing.
Vince closed his eyes for a moment before opening them. "Alright. I'll call her right now."
Rena smiled and kissed Vince on the cheek. "Thank you Vince. You always did have a soft spot for your friends, even you don't like to show it."
"Yeah, yeah." He grabbed his cellphone from his pocket and dialed a number. After a few moments of waiting Vince held the cellphone to his ear. "Hey Rossweisse."
"Vince, you've called-" Rossweisse said sounding surprised. "Do you have any idea how worried you made me when you didn't call? It's been over six months."
Vince slightly winced at the tone but sighed. "I know that Rossweisse. But things have been as hectic as all hell. I've been very busy trying to balance out schoolwork and the crap that's been happening to me. I know you've heard of it."
"Yes, I have. As you probably already know everyone in the Three Factions has been keeping a very close eye on you. They most likely haven't made a move yet due to the upcoming treaty." She stated.
"I know. Everyone's been really on edge about it. Anyway, I got some good news for you." He said shrugging a little.
"What is it?"
"Well, Rena moved to Kuoh and she's right next to me. Later." Vince gave the cellphone to Rena who blinked in surprise before taking the cellphone.
Vince noticed a smile on Rena's face as she started talking to Rossweisse. He leaned against a wall and each her with a barely noticeable smile. Unaware that Akeno, Rias, Kasumi and Akari were watching them with jealous expressions.
His eyes wandered around and noticed the other students whispering about him and Rena, much to his ire. (I guess they found out that Rena is a college student. Oh brother. ...It was nice talking to Rossweisse again. ...I actually miss her. Even though she was there to visit Rena while vacationing for a little bit. If the stories Rossweisse talked about isn't exaggerating then I don't blame her.)
A few minutes passed by with Rena and Rossweisse talking to each other over the cellphone. Vince yawned a little and turned up the volume of his headphones a little. (Those two are really talking. Well, it's a good thing for me because I can ignore calls and say that I ran out of minutes.)
"Vince, I'm done. Rossweisse wants to talk to you." Rena said handing him the cellphone.
Vince nodded and spoke up. "Yeah?"
"Vince you'll be joining Rena when she comes to visit me right?" She asked him.
"Yes."
"Promise?"
He sighed but nodded. "I promise Rossweisse. How's the old man doing?"
"Odin-sama is still the same as ever-" Vince heard her exasperated sigh and blinked. "He still acts like a pervert and makes fun of me for not having a boyfriend."
"Ouch. Well, I can see why don't have a boyfriend Rossweisse." Vince said causing Rena to send him a slightly annoyed look.
"And what's that supposed to mean Vince!?" She shouted over the cellphone.
"There's hasn't been anyone good enough to be with you Rossweisse. Though, I can see that changing soon." Vince answered calmly.
"W-What?!" He raised an eyebrow upon hearing her embarrassed and surprised tone. "I-I got to go now bye."
Vince blinked as he closed his cellphone and noticed Rena giving him a look. "...What?"
"Did you just hit on Rossweisse?" Rena asked looking at him.
"No, was I supposed to?" He questioned with a confused expression.
She shook her head in response. "Dummy..."
"Bite me."
A tickmark appeared above her head. "Let's just go to that clubroom you go to."
"Why? You're not a member of that club and I don't think Rias would let you in because of that." Vince stated.
"I think Rias will. Considering that she spied on our conversation with a few of her friends." Rena pointed out much to their surprise and Vince's ire.
"Okay, yeah. Let's go."
xXxXxXxXxX
Everyone stood near the entrance of the "Sealed Classroom", which had a large tape with the word "KEEP OUT" written with multiple magic circles carved on the tape. Vince and Rena occasionally sent Rias, Akeno, Kasumi and Akari an annoyed look from their earlier spying. With the exception of Koneko, who flinched from seeing Rena and the four in question who slightly winced at being caught, everyone looked confused.
Vince noticed Koneko flinching and whispered to her. "Rena isn't a bad person Koneko. I've known her for over two years."
Koneko looked slightly surprised at him speaking to her but nodded. He noticed her still flinching a little and sighed. Vince discreetly took out an unopened chocolate candy bar from his pocket and handed to her. "Calm down."
"Thank you Vince-senpai." Koneko took the candy bar and blinked in surprise. "It's cold."
"I kept that in a cold temperature inside my pocket." Vince said creating a small ice shard, reminding her of his ability to use ice.
Koneko nodded and opened the candy bar.
Rias and Akeno looked at the small moment between the two and smiled. Vince folded his arms and turned towards Rias as she spoke. "The kid is over here. All day, that bishop lives here. For the time being, his powers are loosened deep in the night, and if it's just in the old building, he can exit the room, but the kid inside refuses to do that."
"That sounds a lot like you Vince." Rena pointed out which caused Vince to roll his eyes.
Rias looked interested for a moment but decided to ask later. She knocked on the door and then started to release the seal on the door.
"I-is the person a hikikomori?" Issei asked looking at Rias.
She nodded while letting out a sigh. Kiba removed the tape, while Akeno helped Rias removing the seal.
"The kid inside has been the biggest earner among the servants." Akeno said she noticed Vince raising an eyebrow and Issei looking confused then continued. "Through a computer, the kid takes special contracts from humans. Frankly, it's a person who doesn't want to meet us. Those type of people negotiate in a different way, and make relations differently. They solve things through the computer. In the dealings through computers, amongst the new devil servants, this kid grabs enough numbers like those of a superior rank."
"Does this mean I can go now?" Vince asked while walking towards the door.
"No Vince. I want you to meet him-" Rias replied in a slightly annoyed tone. "Now then, I am opening the door."
"Nooooooooooooo!"
Rena winced and covered her ears in pain while Vince's eye twitched. His hand went towards his gray cellphone but before he could press the button he was stopped by Kasumi who shook her head.
Rias didn't look surprised but sighed and walked in with Akeno. "Good day to you. It's nice to see you all energetic."
"W-W-Whyyyyyyyy?" A young voice asked.
"Ara ara, the seal got removed, you know? You are able to go out now. Now, let's all go out together?" Akeno said gently.
"Noooooooooooo! This place is gooooooood! I don't want to go outside! I don't want to meet peopleeee!" The person shouted.
Asia and Issei exchanged glances, and tilted their heads. Xenovia also let out a questioning look. Kiba was smiled bitterly and Koneko-chan let out a sigh. Vince on the other hand winced at the loud voice along with Rena while Kasumi and Akari looked concerned.
(Must resist urge to zap loud that person... my ears hurt.) Vince thought as he, yet again tried to leave before being stopped by Rena who grabbed his hand to prevent him from leaving.
"Come on Vince. We might as well check." Rena said keeping a firm grip on his hand.
"I rather not." Vince stated bluntly.
"It's okay Vince-kun. You'll get used to it." Kiba said trying to reassure him.
"Tch."
"Go." Koneko said pushing Vince to enter in the room along with the others.
Upon entering the room everyone noticed the curtains were tightly shut close with the room decorated to look like a girl's room with a coffin in the corner of the room. Looking further they saw an androgynous-looking person with platinum blonde hair and pinkish-violet eyes. With the person's hair styled in short bob cut with several small fringes over "her" forehead, and "her" has pointed ears wearing the Kuoh Academy girl's uniform.
Vince looked closer at the person and then took a slight step back. (Okay... that's a guy dressed as a girl and he looks like a girl. ...That's one hell of a trap.)
"Vince are you okay?" Kasumi asked concerned from seeing him take a step back.
"It's a trap." He mumbled.
"A trap?"
"You'll see why in a few moments." Vince said gesturing towards Issei.
"Ooh! A girl! Not to mention a foreigner!" Issei said grinning pervertedly.
"Appearance-wise, this kid looks like a girl but without a doubt he is a boy." Rias said shocking everyone who didn't know.
"No no no, no matter how you look at it. It's a girl, Buchou! ...Eh? Seriously?" Issei shouted looking at her.
"Issei, look at his chest real closely." Vince stated while holding back a small laugh.
Issei looked closely at his chest for a few moments before immediately , causing the person to fidget and cover his chest with his hands.
"He has a hobby of dressing in female clothes." Akeno said calmly.
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeh!?" Issei shrieked causing Rena to cover her ears again.
"If you would have checked the chest more closely you would have noticed that "she" is a "he"." Vince answered shrugging.
"How do you know that Vince?" Akari asked raising an eyebrow.
"I've seen Rena naked enough times to tell the difference." Vince replied nonchantly much to the dismay of Akeno, Rias, Kasumi and Akari.
Rena quickly kicked Vince, forcing him to duck to avoid getting kicked in the face. "You ass! Why do you have to say something like that!?"
"Oops. Well, I guess this means we're even for that earlier comment then." Vince said shrugging again.
"Eeeeeeeeeeek!I am sorry, I am sorryyyyy!" The blond shouted due to all of Issei's shriek and the shouting from Rena.
"Uwaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Issei held his head with his arms and crouched down still screaming in shock.
"Huh... so how exactly does he have Boosted Gear?" Vince asked after seeing him react dramatically.
The question went unanswered as silence moment came towards the room as Issei suddenly spoke up in a depressed tone. "Is it alright to have such a cruel story... .He perfectly looks like a bishoujo... for him to be a man... for him to have a penis on him..."
"Genetics." Vince answered simply.
"...Talking about vulgar words is prohibited." Koneko spoke looking at Issei.
"It's an even more painful story that he has a hobby for wearing girl's clothes! Since it suits him, when I heard the unnecessary truth, the shock was too huge! Even though he's a hikikomori, he's got a hobby of wearing girl's clothes! Are the girl's clothes to show to someone!?" Issei shouted.
Kasumi and Akari sweatdropped in response while Rena shook her head in disbelief.
Vince blinked twice before sighing. (This conversation went downhill fast.)
"B-B-B-But, girl's clothes are super cute." The boy said stuttering.
"Don't say things like super cuteeee! Shit! Even though you're a guuy! You shattered my dream in a instanttt! I-I was actually dreaming about you and Asia, the double blonde bishoujo bishops, you know!? Give it back! Give back my dream!" Issei exclaimed.
"...Writings and dreams of people are transient." Koneko spoke while taking a bite out of the chocolate bar that she received from Vince.
"Koneko-chaaaan! That didn't sound like a joke! Wait, Vince you still have that picture of the beautiful blonde bishoujo with the sexy bikini right?!" Issei asked in a desperate tone.
Rena's eye twitched in response while Vince held back chuckling. "Yes, I do actually. I'm not giving you a copy though. It's one of my favorite pieces of eye candy. But look at it this way Issei. At least you didn't hit on the boy or tried something."
Rena looked away and blushed a little while the Kasumi, Rias, Akeno and Akari gave off an annoyed expression. Issei however cried for a moment before nodding. "Y-Yeah, there is that."
"But imagine if you did. That would make the rumors of you and Kiba a bit more accurate." Vince said with a smirk.
"Aaaargh! Shut up Vince!" Issei yelled as his eye twitched at the reminder.
"B-B-B-By the way, who is this person?" The blond said pointing to Issei and Vince.
"I'm Rias' self proclaimed fiancé. Vince Reinhart." He replied nonchantly, causing Akeno to giggle.
Rias' eye twitched in response but continued and pointed to her newer peerage members. "These are new servants who came while you were here. The pawn, Hyoudou Issei; The knight, Xenovia; and like you, the Bishop, Asia."
"The other three over there is Kasumi, Akari and Rena. They are close friends to Vince." Rias spoke sounding slightly jealous.
Everyone then greeted each other but with reluctantance from Vince who barely said anything.
"Please, can we go out? Okay? It's all right for you not to be sealed any more, you know?" Rias said in a gentle tone.
"Noooooooo! For me the outside world is impossibleeee! I am scared! I am scared of the outside! In any case, even if I go outside it would only cause trouble for otherssss!" Gasper shouted his body trembling.
"Hey, Buchou said to go outside." Issei said grabbing on to his arm as he tried pulling him.
It was the moment I was trying to pull him.
"Eeeeeek!"
Rena's eyes widened before she quickly grabbed Vince by the arm. Vince's eyes narrowed from seeing everyone freeze for a moment. "Time froze didn't it?"
"Yes. If I'm pretty sure it was his Sacred Gear." Rena said pointing to the blond crossdresser.
"Nice. Well, it's good to know your Senjutsu came in handy. That was also how you were able to find them spying on us, right?" He replied sounding impressed.
"Yes. Thankfully my heritage makes Senjutsu easier for me to control." She spoke as Vince saw her enveloped in a green aura.
"...Rena. If I didn't have had to transfer to Kuoh Academy would you have still suggested that we would break up?" Vince asked with a stoic expression.
Her eyes widened greatly at the question before she quickly shook her head. "Of course not Vince. If you didn't go I would have never said that."
"Really?"
"Yes, really." Rena embraced Vince and held him tightly. "I still feel bitter for saying that. But at least I know you're doing better here than over there. ...You were under so much stress back there I didn't want to see you suffer so I suggested we break up so you can have fresh start here. ...It didn't work out that well for me because I came all the way here."
"You didn't have to all of this you know-" Vince sighed slightly as he looked around. "I appreciate this but you do know you're putting yourself in potential danger right?"
"Vince. I'm nineteen years old now. I am an adult and as you know from our previous spars, I'm more than capable of taking care of myself." Rena said confidently.
"Is your mom and dad okay with this?" He asked curiously.
"Yeah. They were the ones that told me to go through with with." A small blush appeared on her face as she continued. "Mother told me to make sure I get my man this time and to make sure it stays that way. While my father told me not to make him a grandfather soon."
"That defintely sounds like them." Vince said deadpanning.
"No kidding."
He gained a thoughtful look as he recalled a past memory. "You're a half-elf and because of elves' close connections to nature Senjutsu is a little easier to use. Your mom trained you in Senjutsu for years and your dad is a human magician."
Rena blinked owlishly. "You still remember what I told you?"
"Yeah." He let a small smile appear on his face. "We're not dating anymore but you're still a good friend Rena."
Rena smiled serenely, "Thank you Vince. That means a lot to me."
"Really?"
"Yes it does. You're one of the few true friends I have. But I still have feelings for you." Rena leaned in and kissed him on the lips. She pulled away with a beautiful smile.
Vince looked away with a barely noticeable blush on his face. "...I think time is going to go back to normal soon."
Rena giggled at his reaction. "I'm glad you haven't changed much Vince."
"Tch."
"This is strange. Something in this moment..." Asia said looking surprised.
"...It's certain something happened." Xenovia spoke also sounding surprised.
"I think something happened." Kasumi stated looking around with a confused expression.
"Yeah, I think so too." Akari commented.
"Don't get angry! Don't get angry! Please don't hit meeeee!" The boy yelled sounding frightened.
Noticing Issei's doubt Vince spoke up. "He froze time with his Sacred Gear."
With the exception of Rena everyone turned to Vince with a surprised expression. Rias blinked twice before speaking up. "How do you know that Vince?"
"I've seen it before." Vince answered cryptically causing the others to send him a curious look.
"Because he can't control his Sacred Gear, by the orders of the Archduke and Maou, Sirzechs-sama, he was sealed." Akeno added as an afterthought.
Rias hugged the boy from behind and spoke.
Buchou hugged girl's clothing-kun from behind, and said to them. "This boy is Gasper Vladi. He's my bishop. For the time being, he's Kuou Academy's first year. Also, before being reincarnated he was half human, half vampire."
"It's nice to meet you Gasper." Kasumi spoke gently.
Gasper nodded timidly while Vince crossed his arms. (This kid... He doesn't like leaving his room and hardly likes people. ...Why do I keep meeting people with so many similarities to how I used to act?)
Vince sighed and started walked out of the room. (I need to leave.)
"Vince where are you going?" Rias asked after seeing him walk away.
"I'm going to go see my mom." He answered simply.
"Oh okay. Tell Okaa-sama I said hello." She said causing him to raise an eyebrow.
"Why are you calling her that?" Vince asked sounding completely confused.
"We are engaged Vince. It would be rude not to call her that." Rias said simply.
"Ugh." Vince turned up the volume of his headphones and walked out of the room.
xXxXxXxXxX
Vince looked ahead as he saw a large hotel. Upon closer examination he noticed it was a luxurious hotel. (This is the hotel where mom is staying at along with Ayame-san and Shiden. Venelana returned home with her husband and Sirzechs. ...Why the hell is this hotel close to my house?)
He sighed and walked into the hotel. After a few minutes of walking through the hotel lobby Vince went up a flight of stairs, choosing to ignore the elevator. He walked into a hall where the rooms where at and knocked on a door. (I don't like the hotel being close to my house but I'm glad that at the very least mom is staying here. ...I hope a few of my secrets doesn't get out just yet. I do want to keep them hidden the only people that are here that knows about it are Rena, her mom because she saw us, and my mom.)
Elena opened the door and smiled. Vince let out a small smile and walked into the room.
"Hi Vince, how was school?" Elena asked hugging him as soon he walked in.
"A chore. As usual." He said returning the hug with a quick one before pulling away.
"Oh? So was it a chore to be surrounded by older women?" She teased with a grin.
Vince looked away with a small blush. "That to. I could hardly breathe."
"Well, you did say at one point you liked older women with well developed breasts, so why should it matter?" Elena asked shrugging.
"Personal space."
"I don't believe you." She said dryly.
"You two sound like you're having fun." Ayame spoke as she walked into the room.
Vince rolled his eyes. "Hello Ayame-san. So, I've been meaning to ask you mom. How did you two meet?"
"You're curious about that?" Elena asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yes."
"I see." Elena sat down on a sofa and leaned against it. "I meet Ayame a few months after I gave birth to you."
Vince adopted a curious expression as a thoughtful look appeared on Elena's face. "Ayame was vacationing with Shiden, Hayate and Kasumi. She got lost and was looking for directions while having Kasumi with her who was two years old at the time and was going to turn three years old soon. It was funny because at the same time Shiden and Hayate were looking around for Ayame and they couldn't find her because we were looking for them."
"Wait. I already met Kasumi and Hayate even earlier than before?" He asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yes. But you and Kasumi were so young back then that you two hardly remembered. I know Hayate recognized you." Ayame explained to him.
"This explains why he always kept a close on me when I was training." Vince said more to himself.
Ayame nodded in response. "Hayate was worried about you when he realized how potent your Sacred Gear was, Kasumi felt the same as well."
Elena then cleared her throat. "We eventually found Shiden and Hayate. But during the search Kasumi was constantly playing with you. It was so cute too see you two laughing and playing with each other."
Ayame giggled at the memory. "I never seen Kasumi so happy that day."
(I can't help but feel awkward from hearing that. But it does explain a few things.) Vince thought as he sweatdropped.
"After we found Shiden and Hayate we decided to have you and Kasumi play with each other until our vacation was over and we had to return to the village. You cried very loudly when Kasumi was going to leave." Ayame said sounding a little sad.
"Before Ayame had to go back to her village we both talked about a few things and we eventually became good friends." Elena added smiling a little.
"Okay. But what happened to Ayane?" Vince asked raising an eyebrow.
"Unfortunately, Ayane couldn't come with us. She was taken in by the former leader of the Hajinmon sect, Genra. After finding out the reason why she was an outcast Ayane focused solely into training. Ayame spoke in a sad tone.
"Why is she considered an outcast at that age and why did you say all those years ago I have a few things in common with her?" Vince asked raising an eyebrow.
Ayame flinched while Elena patted her back, trying to reassure her. "Do you want me to tell Vince?"
She shook her head. "I'll do it. It might also give Vince a better understanding of how similar they are."
Ayame took a deep breath and sighed. "It happened eighteen years ago. Shiden was out of the village at the time. ...His brother Raidou, he..."
Seeing the look of anguish on his face Vince put one and one together and nodded with a stoic expression. "I get the message Ayame-san, continue."
Ayame nodded thankfully and continued. "Raidou was banished from the village and I gave birth to Ayane. Everyone in the village knows about this and calls Ayane the "cursed child" thankfully she meet Hayate at a young age and became close to each other. Ayane eventually met Kasumi and became best friends, unfortunately the village treated her as an outcast while they treated Kasumi with the upmost respect. That caused Ayane to be consumed by jealously and eventually she broke their friendship."
Vince's expression darkened considerably as he took in the information. Elena and Ayame looked worried at his change in mood but said nothing he then looked at Ayame. "...Did Kasumi ever rubbed it in that she was treated better or something?"
"No. You know Kasumi would never say something like that." She replied seriously.
"Just making sure." He said sighing a little.
(So that means Ayane was more or less looking for a target for her anger. That target was Kasumi. I can defintely see the similarities, I used to do the same with my mom whenever I got pissed when it involved my father. ...Can't say I'm proud of it though.) Vince thought grimly.
"You don't have to worry about Raidou, Vince." Elena said snapping him out of his thoughts.
"What do you mean?"
"Kasumi killed Raidou in the first Dead or Alive Tournament. It was one of her reasons for entering in the first place." She spoke surprising him.
"...I'll talk to Kasumi when I get home." Vince replied after being silent for a few moments.
"Do you think of Kasumi any differently?" Ayame asked looking at him.
Vince snorted in response. "She's still the same Kasumi I know."
The two mothers smiled at his answer while Vince looked a little confused at their smiles but shrugged. Elena then smirked a little. "Vince since you asked us a few questions I'll ask you a simple one, okay?"
"Alright."
"I know you've already had sex and you're living with Rias, Kasumi and Akari along with Rena living next door. Can you avoid getting them pregnant until you're at least eighteen?" Elena asked causing Vince to choke on his breath.

Author's Notes: Quite a bit of stuff happened in this chapter hopefully this clears up a few things. Now for the explanations.
I know most people want Vince to confront his father as soon as possible and fight him but you do have to understand that Vince's father isn't the type of person to do things directly. Hence, the reason why he's calling Vince over the phone instead of talking to him in person. Given by how things are going, that might change soon...
Rena is a half-elf as most people suspected when people saw a photo of her in her real form. I originally did not intend for her to use Senjutsu but since the energy of nature is more or less Senjutsu it's pretty much a given because of Rena's heritage but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about Senjutsu or if I'm missing something important. The next chapter will go more into how she fights.
How Rossweisse and Rena know each other will be explained in a future chapter. But I do want to say elves are a part of Norse mythology and that Rossweisse's grandmother is a famous magician.
While the explanation on how Elena and Ayame met didn't involve anything supernatural I did want to give a normal explanation on how they met and I wanted to include that little tidbit between Vince and Kasumi.
That's all I have to say for the explanations. Next chapter will go into more backstory and about the secret Vince has been keeping to himself. I have been looking at the suggestions for Vince's replacement weapon and after thinking it over I'm leaning more towards having Vince getting a supernatural version of a firearm. Let me know what you think about the chapter in the reviews and take care.
