Zato Cero a delinquent who attends Kouh Academy. He's admitting a strange energy which catches Rias' attention, however he's not so cooperative. He wants little to do with anyone and distances everyone that tries to get close to him, why?
Zato and the ORC arrive at Kouh Academy some students looking at them a bit weird since the entire group just ran through the gate like a group of bats straight out of hell. Everyone except for Kiba, Zato, Koneko, and Zenovia is out of breath.
"I can't believe we ran here in just two minutes," Kiba says as he looks at their school.
"You lot ok?" Koneko asks the Rias, Akeno, and Asia all struggle to catch their breath.
"I-I'm fine. J-just need a minute please." Asia says between deep breaths. Between the three Rias and Akeno have almost completely recover Asia is still struggling to catch her breath.
"Wow, you guys aren't even winded, but then again your training is far more physical than ours." Akeno laughs as Zato looks around and sees all kinds of adults that obviously aren't teachers entering the school.
"What's up with all these geezers? They look way too old to be in school." Zato asks as Rias looks at him ready to answer.
"It's parent day, you didn't know?" Rias asks. "I know you were gone for a week but the school was promoting this event before your absence," Rias explains as Zato just shrugs his shoulders.
"Speaking of which, Rias' brother and father are coming today, anyone coming for you Zato?" Asia asks as Zato scratches his chin.
"Hopefully not, I don't send much information to my parents so it's likely they don't even kn-" Zato is cut off as he hears someone shout his name happily. His eyes widen as he recognizes that voice and turning around he's practically tackled by the person, but thankfully the sudden tackle only makes him stumble back a few feet. The person is hugging him and when he looks down Zato sees the familiar face of his Sister, Zen Cero.

"Z-Zen? The hell are you doing here!?" Zato shouts as he looks down at his sister in complete shock as his sister pouts at her brother.
"REALLY! WE HAVEN'T SEEN EACH OTHER IN YEARS AND THAT'S THE FIRST THING YOU SAY! NOT ZEN IT'S BEEN TOO LONG, ARE THOSE NEW EARRINGS, OR EVEN OH YOU CUT YOUR HAIR!" Zen shouts as Zato grits his teeth and a small vein appears on his head.
"CUT THE SHIT! JUST ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION!?" Zato shouts back as the two siblings glare at one another sparks shooting from their eyes and colliding with the other.
"Z-Zato who's this?" Asia asks as Zen quickly turns her head to see the ORC. Seeing this or more specifically the girl Zen smirks and nudges her brother's side.
"Zato you've been holding out on me. You didn't me you made new friends and such beautiful ones at that." Zen says snarkily as she turns toward the group. "Hey, there I'm Zen Cero, Zato's older-"
"Younger sister!" Zato shouts in anger but Zen ignores him and continues speaking.
"Sister, it's a pleasure to meet you all," Zen says with a smile as she scans the girls of the group from head to toe. "So, which one of you is my brother's girlfriend?" Zen asks as all the girls and Zato blush.
"What the hell are asking!" Zato shouts as Zen shushes him, pressing her fingers against his lips.
"Shhh, shut the hell up, I know you won't gimme a straight answer. So I know you girls aren't hanging out with my brother because of his amazing personality so which one of you is his girlfriend?" Zen asks as the girls stumble to answer
"N-no I-it's not like that!" Asia quickly says stumbling over her words due to sheer embarrassment and her face a bright red.
"Not me." Koneko bluntly says with her face only slightly red.
"I wouldn't be against the idea." Xenovia says slightly embarrassed as she scratches her cheek with a single finger.
"Never really crossed my mind but I could see it," Akeno says with a smile.
"Sorry to disappoint you but that position is still wide open and I'm afraid none of us even come close to filling it." Rias answers after clearing her throat.
Zen looks completely surprised as she looks between the group and her brother. "Wait, you actually made friends, well I take back all the negatives I said about you." Zen laughs as a vein appears on Zato's forehead. "I mean seriously, you were starting to scare me. I thought you'd be a depressing emo for the rest of your life but this gives me hope." Zen laughs
"Zen would you shut the fuck up," Zato says through grit teeth and Zen puts a figure to her chin.
"No, no I don't think I will," Zen says with a smirk as she pokes her brother's nose. "I haven't messed with you in years, so think of this as making up for lost time," Zen explains.
"You enjoy being a pain the ass way too much." Zato snarls through grit teeth as Zen turns to face him.
"You're my brother it's my job to embarrass," Zen says as a new voice cuts through the air.
"Wow, you're first face-to-face conversation you have with your sister in years and you act like a whiny bitch." Hinata states as she walks toward their son.
Zato's eyes widen as he sees both his mother and sister are present. "H-how the hell did you even learn about this?" Zato asks as his father pops out from behind his mother stroking his chin.
"Son I lived at your house for a whole week now. I've even picked your friends up from school a few times. It wasn't that hard to learn about and if I didn't tell you mom and sister I'd be sleeping in the garden for the rest of my life." Ryoji laughs as Zato's head just drops.
Hinata's eyes glance toward the ORC. "Looks like you brought someone new into your group. Hinata Cero, Zato Cero's mother, you've met his sister, and this is my husband Ryoji Isamu." Hinata explains as she extends her hand to Xenovia, who shakes it without question. "I'll be honest I'm actually impressed, you kids went from pathetic runts who I had no faith in to somewhat content fighters," Hinata says as Rias bows.
"Thank you, Mrs. Cero," Rias says as Hinata shrugs.
"Don't take it as too much of a compliment, you all still have a long way to go." Hinata says as she turns toward the school. "Now come Zato I want you to show me around your school." With that Hinata, Zen, and Ryoji walk into Kouh Academy leaving Zato with his face toward the ground.
Looking at him confused and a bit concerned Kiba nudges Zato's shoulder. "You ok?" Kiba asks.
"I unironically want to die," Zato replies with no hesitation or pause between that and Kiba's question.
