It's been a couple days since I got my kunais. I haven't perfected my throws but they do tend to hit their target most of the time.

"Haaa!!!"

I throw the kunai straight on the dot while jumping of a tree.

"I see you got better" I see Rias come from behind a tree to my left.

"Yea, I'm not perfect at it but it will hopefully not miss when in combat"

"You okay?"

"Yea!!! I'm excited to fight"

"Hehe I can tell, just promise me one thing"

"What's that?"

"Don't be reckless, try and protect your body and health as much as you can"

"Yea"

"I decided to bring this along with me" I said grabbing the Soul of Erebus.

"You sure?"

"Yea, I can't really be without it"

"Remember you aren't allowed to use it"

"Yea I know"

"Come on, let's go get dinner" she said waiving me to come along.

"Alright" I take out the kunai out the target and follow her lead.

Today's the big day so we need to prepare mentally but we can't be starving either. I've been out here since 4 in the morning training.

"Hey Rias"

"Yea?"

"I think I'll take a shower before I go eat"

"Okay, nobody's up other than you me and Akeno"

"Akeno's up?"

"Yea she wanted to cook breakfast for everyone for some reason"

"Alright, well I'll meet you guys up when I'm done showering"

"Okay but don't take to long"

~~~~~

After showering I head to my room to change since the shower is right in front of my room.

"Mast-" her eyes expand.

"Oh hey Nala" I walk towards her but she takes a step back.

"What's wrong?"

She points down.

"Hmm?"

"What's wrong? It's my towel"

"M-m-master why are you naked"

"Well I got a little training and came back to relive some stress, can you help me out?"

"B-b-b-but I'm just your familiar?!"

"It's okay, besides you're my maid too aren't you" I walk towards her.

"I-I-I am yours s-s-so you may do as you please"

Hmm?

"Please be gentle master, I am new to this"

She started taking her clothes off.

"Hey stop"

I tried to close her shirt off but end up falling on her on the bed.

"Ow, are you okay Nal-"

"Master.. I-If you wanted to force me down like this.. You should of at least let me know first... I understand the beast inside you couldn't resist itself but please... Be gentle" she says with teary eyes.

Just as she finish saying that the door opens up.

"Hey Y/n are you alm-"

"I-It's not what it looks like Koneko"

"Ill just wait outside until you're done.. Breakfast is ready"

She slowly closes the door while giving me a disgusted look.

"Idiot" she mutters as she closed the door.

"... Shit"

~~~~~

At the I stay silent as Kamiko walks up behind me.

"Oooo master can I have some of... Whatever this is"

"You've never had pancakes?"

"No" she curls up before looking up at me.

"Can I have some?"

"Have all of it!!!"

She looked so fucking adorable

"Yay!!!"

"... I just realized I gave her all of my food"

I don't even care... I must... Protect. That. Smile.

"Here you can have one of mine" Xenovia puts one of her pancakes on another plate and hands it to me.

"Thanks Xenovia"

"No problem"

"Might as well give you one too" Issei hands me one too.

"Thanks bro"

"No prob"

"Hey Koneko could you pass me some syrup"

She hands me some hot sauce.

"This is hot sauce, really really spicy hot sauce. I'll probably die eating this with my pancakes" I let out a little laugh.

She looks scary.

"Here you go" Xenovia grabs it and starts poring it on my food.

"Oh.. Thanks, I could of done it"

"Slipped my mind"

I could feel a evil aura coming to my front left.

~~~~~

After finishing breakfast I start heading out, I feel a tug on the back of my shirt before being dragged out to a closet nearby.

"What the hell"

Koneko nearly stomps on my head.

"What happened earlier today"

"I had just got out the shower-"

"That doesn't mean you go and have sex with your familiar"

"That's not what happened"

"Then what happened"

"She misunderstood what I said. She was trying to take her clothes and I went to stop her and fell"

"Was that's it"

"Yes"

"... I'll believe you but if you end up in that situation again.. I'm castrating you"

"Yes ma'am!!" I bow my head before feeling a hand on my head.

"... I'm sorry"

"Huh?" I'm suddenly embraced by Koneko.

"I don't know why I'm reacting and saying stuff like that"

"Its okay" I embrace her back.

"You know I wouldn't do anything with anybody else other than you"

After we let go, we take off and get ready to for the raiding game that's about to happen in a couple of hours.

~~~~~

We start heading out to school grounds where the battle was said to take place. I can't help but feel excited. I haven't fought anybody seriously in awhile, I've trained so much on my craft I can't wait to show off a new technique I learned along the way.

"Is everybody here" Rias asked as we stood next to her.

"Yep" Issei said reading up his gear.

"I'm ready" Xenovia takes out her Durandal.

"Asia, you make sure to stick with Rias okay" Akeno pats Asia's head.

"Yes ma'am" She replied.

I see Koneko right next to Issei, she looks troubled and says something before Issei says something back and both smile.

Don't worry about it. She already said she loved you and Issei's like a brother to you.

"Hey you okay?" Kiba pats my back.

"Yea, I'm so ready to fight"

"Where's Nala and Kamiko?"

"They're waiting on the outside, whoever gets eliminated Nala will heal them and Kamiko is there to patch them up and give them food and water"

"Nice"

"Gremory House, are you ready" we hear Grayfia's voice coming out the sky.

"Yes we are" Rias answered.

"Phenex House, are you ready?"

"Riser is ready"

"With all of the houses ready, the Raiding game now begins in 5..."

I close my eyes.

I won't let you down Rias.

I remember something my father once told me a couple of years ago.

~~~~~

"Hey dad why do you always go out all the time" I said with a sad expression towards him.

"Because I have to patrol and fight whatever bad guys come around"

"But why"

He places a hand on my head.

"Because I have a village, you and you're mother, a family to protect" he smiled.

"One day you'll have to do this as well, when that time comes I want you to know something"

~~~~~

"4..."

Y/n remember son... When you're nervous... In the middle of battle...

"3..."

Relax... Breathe... Fight.. Never give up... you're not fighting for yourself, you're fighting for those you love...

"2..."

Breathe in...

"1..."

Breathe out...

Y/n... My son... What do you love...

I Love you...

I could still hear Koneko's voice echo in my mind as she said that...

Koneko... That's who I love dad.

"Let the game begin"

I raise my hand up my face before opening my eyes.

"Darkness... Flow... Give me strength to destroy my enemies who hurt my friend and are threatening my master"
