Gremory Estate

It was nightfall when Kiba, who told me to call him Yuuto, and I finished our argument and made up. We walked out of the club room holding hands and headed towards the Gremory Estate. It was about a twenty minute walk so Yuuto and I had plenty of time to talk. Yuuto told me all about the excalibur project and his insecurities with being used and abandoned. It turned out to be exactly how I thought. He was angry because he thought that I was just stringing him along and when I was finished with him I'd throw him away and move on to Rias or something like that. I didn't say anything the entire time we walked, just listening to his story and rubbing my thumb over his hand. By the time our conversation was over Yuuto and I were much closer than we were before and we both had a pretty good grasp on the other's personality.

Soon we arrived at the Gremory Estate which was what I expected, a huge victorian styled mansion sitting on about an acre. We walked into the mansion and surprisingly, everyone seemed to already be in their rooms. Yuuto showed me around the mansion, pointing out everyone's rooms, the bathrooms, library, kitchen etc. Soon we came to my room which happened to be right across from his. We entered my room which was fully furnished and even seemed to be personalized for me. By this I mean that all the furniture and bed sheets where a dark midnight black. I went to the closet and found that it was chocked full of new clothes of every style. I guess Rias and the girls did a little bit of shopping for me while I was 'recovering.' I grabbed some sweats from the closet and took off my clothes, slipping the sweats and throwing the dirty clothes in front of my door to bring to the laundry room in the morning.

I turned around to get into bed when I noticed that Yuuto was laying in my bed with no plans on moving. I sigh and get into bed, lying beside him but leaving a little space between us. Yuuto closes the space and scoots closer to me, throwing his arm over me and laying on my arm. He doesn't say anything afterwards. He just closes his eyes and falls asleep without any care in the world. I fall asleep soon after, not bothering to tell him to leave or anything like that. To be honest, it was enjoyable.

We stayed like that for the entire night, neither one of us moving from the other. Hours later, the sun started to rise. The sun pierced through the curtains and shined on my face causing me to squint before waking up entirely. I tried to move but soon noticed the sleeping Yuuto on my arm. I rubbed the top of his head with my free hand, waking him up.

"Five more minutes..." Yuuto complains as he rolls off my arm and snuggles into the pillows. I laugh slightly and let him be. I get out of bed and walk towards my closet. I pick out a white t-shirt with black wings crossing each other in the front and a standard pair of jeans. I take the clothes and walk to the bathroom connected to my room. I strip out of my sweats and put on my clothes. Afterwards, I start to get ready for the day. When I was finished Yuuto had already left my room and was probably getting ready in his own. I walk out of my room and head downstairs to the living room where all the girls were talking about whatever they had to talk about this early in the morning.

"Good morning, Damien." Akeno said as I walked into the living room.

"Good morning." I say back with a cheerful smile.

"Oh, Damien. You're awake so soon. Most people would need an entire day of rest after the transformation." Rias says as she turns her attention from her conversation with Koneko to me. "We have a full day today. I want you to show us the extent of your abilities so we know what we're working with." She tells me, crossing her legs.

"Will do, madam president. I'm actually curious as to what my limits are as well."

"Good. Now all we need is to wait for Kiba." Rias says.

"That's strange. He's normally up early doing his exercise routine or whatever." Koneko says, shooting me a side glance.

"I think Yuuto is getting ready now." I say as I look towards his room.

"Yuuto huh?" Akeno asks with a raised brow. "Since when have you two become so close?"

"Shit..." I mutter underneath my breath. Just when I was about to say something Yuuto comes down the stairs and enters the living room.

"Sorry, madam president. I guess I accidentally slept in today." Yuuto apologizes with a curt bow.

"Hmm...I wonder why." Akeno said, eyeing me and causing Yuuko to blush.

"It's fine, Kiba." Rias said as she stood up. "I was just telling Damien that we need to test the limits of his abilities."

"Yes, I agree." Kiba responded. "It would seem as if he has similar abilities to myself but I believe his are a bit different than mine." Rias then turned her attention back to me.

"Damien, you said that you could give your weapons abilities but you needed to learn enchanting and runes first right?"

"Yes, madam president, that's correct. I was going to ask if I could study the books in the library since I noticed there were quite a few on those subjects."

"Yes, that would probably be for the best. You can start learning enchanting and runes later today. First, I want to see your base power." Rias said as she stood up from the couch.

"Okay, that sounds fine with me."

"Let's go to the training fields then. There is a barrier so that humans won't notice when magic is used." Rias explains as she, Akeno, and Koneko leave for the training fields. I follow after them with Yuuko following behind me.
