Fiery phoenix(36)

Time skip.

Takeo was seen making his way to the occult facility, he did not know why that lady overreacted so much to the point of almost turning him into a kebap with her power.

Did she take him for someone else or something?

He did know why but he felt as if she had taken for some overpowered entity or something.

"Morning Takeo~kun"

Takeo eyes shot up to look at the person who had just greeted him.

"Good morning Akeno-chan" Takeo replied looking at the black hair woman infront of him.

Akeno gave him a sultry look as she leaned in closer to him, she really seemed to enjoy his personal space.

Her eyes then went toward his chest, her eyes seemed to narrow a bit as she looked at a specific spot on his chest.

"Takeo~kun, did you sleep with Rias"

Takeo didnt need to be a genius to realize the trap that was set up for him, it wouldn't take a genius to figure out what she was talking about.

Plus the fact that her hands were sparkling with electricity was not helping her case much.

"I did no such thing" Takeo replied defending himself.

"Takeo~kun!"

"Yeah.."

"Do you take me for an idiot"

"No!, you are the furthest from an idiot"

"Then why are you telling me you didnt do something when I can feel Rias' magic on you"

She had a very sweet look on her face as she said those words.

"Because she came to my room last night, asking me to take her" Takeo explained.

"You listened, Takeo~kun, you hurt my feeling, I called first dibs" The way she said it made it sound like she was really looking forward to taking his first.

"Well no, I didnt, a lady with silver hair entered the room and started speaking some stuff about an engagement or something" As Takeo explained his situation, his eyes went toward Akeno.

Akeno's face looked as if she was serious for a second.

"Oh.." She said as if she was realising something.

"I did not realize it was that time yet" Akeno added with a worried look on her face, was she worried for her friend?

As they entered the occult room, Takeo noticed how tense it was.

His eyes went toward Rias who also seemed to be pretty tense, as if she wished to be anywhere but here.

Who was she engaged to in order for her to feel like this?

His eyes then landed on the woman who had been staring at him this whole time.

The silver-haired chick that was at his house a couple of days ago.

He wondered what was her whole deal.

Though before he could ever get a word out, a magic circle appeared in the middle of the room.

Takeo did not bother looking at the details as if he felt a very tainted existence walk out of the magic circles.

A man with blond hair was seen, the man's features seemed to be pretty sharp, and he had what seemed to be an arrogant look on his face as he entered the room.

He had this whole, I own the world vibe going with him.

"Rias my dear, don't you think it's about time we do our vows" The man said holding Rias by the face.

The arrogant look of his still stayed but this time Takeo could see the lust emanating from the devil's body.

He could feel the man's essence and it was tainted as heck, he could not believe he could find an existence tainted enough to rival how those fallen angels were but here he was.

Looking at one.

"Riser, I do not want this engagement," Rias said slapping his hand away.

Riser seemed to chuckle a bit as he looked at Ria's, he felt as if this man was seeing her as only prey.

The man went on to talk about how her family's circumstances, and the more this man spoke.

The more pissed Takeo found himself becoming, he had not realized it yet but his eyes were now a crimson red color, and what seemed to be a cross was seen across his pupils

"My husband will be my own choice" Were the words that came out of Rias' mouth.

The man did not seem to care as he proceeded to talk about how it was imperative for devils to keep their pure blood going in order to sustain their race.

After all, after the great war, the amount of pure-blood families left in the devil realm was in the low double digits or single digits.

The great war thousands of years ago, had foreseen many powerful devil slain.

"For the final time RIser, I will not marry you!" Rias proclaims to which Riser just stood up before holding her by her chain.

"And for the final time, Riser bore  the name of the phoenix family and will not tolerate such disrespect"

"RIser does not care if he has to incinerate every insect in his room, you will be mine!" Upon saying those words, flame appeared all over his body.

"Try it, I dare you," Takeo said his eyes a pitch-red color, all around his body seemed to be touched and something else seemed to be pouring into his very essence itself.

Riser seemed amused and seemed like he was almost about to hit Takeo.

However, before he could do anything...Grayfia flared her aura.

"I will have to intervene if you decide to have this continue" Grayfia's cold voice was heard saying in the room.

"Riser does not wish to anger, the strongest queen," The man said.

She started something called a rating game between Rias and Riser in order to settle the dispute.

Time skip.

"Are you sure it's him" A red-haired man was seen asking Grayfia.

"There is no doubt....." Were the words that came out of her mouth.

Grayfia was known for being a calm and composed person but the second she had felt Takeo's aura flaring, she felt the same feeling of dread she felt back that day.

She same feeling of dread she felt as she saw that thing wipe every single member of the clan and make them go extinct.

The entity that was the sole reason behind the Great War.

"Then I have nothing to worry about, Rias' future is saved," The man said sounding happy, he sounded like a siscon.
