I walked to the bleachers at the tennis court. Everyone seemed still surprised to see me, I don't blame them though.
Kugyo - "So, what time is this tennis match supposed to start?"
Issei - "Woah, you're here?! I knew Rias had talked to you, but I had no idea that you'd actually show up!"
Kugyo - "Answer the damn question."
I impatiently snapped.
Issei - "It's-uh-gonna start any minute now."
Zakarysz - "Well, someone's angry."
I ignored his response.
Kugyo - "Good. I don't wanna linger."
Issei - "Still choked up about Akiri?"
I stared him dead in his face.
Kugyo - "Another word about her out of you and I swear to god I'll drag you down to the deepest pit of hell and leave you there."
Issei whimpered and backed up and the blonde haired girl sitting next to Issei spoke up.
???? - "Are you okay, sir?"
I didn't respond.
???? - "I can tell you're not in the right mindset. I know we don't know each other yet, but I want to hel-"
She was cut off by people announcing that Rias had arrived and Rias was wearing rather, uh, revealing clothing. We'll put it that way.
Kugyo - *under breath*"Oh, honey are you trying to give the pervs what they want?"
Right on que, I heard the pervs in the back catcalling her. They begin the match and the pervs pull out their cameras. Not happening. I thought.
Kugyo - "Can you maybe put your damn cameras away?"
Perv 1 - "How can you resist? 4 top class beauties all in one area. They're practically begging us to take pictures!"
Kugyo - "Look. I don't know who the fuck you are, but I'm not in the mood for chatting. Stop acting like stalkers or I'm going to break your cameras.
Perv 2 - "Oh, come on. You don't think I know a bluff when I see one? I can assure you, I'm not stupid so back off."
Kugyo - "Watch this."
I grab both of their cameras and throw them onto the ground, breaking into at least 100 pieces.
Kugyo - "Problem solved."
When I look back to Rias, I see pentagrams and demonic magic bouncing off of the ground and disappearing. Are they trying to get caught!? Points rack up, and the ball is bounced around at what looks like lightning speed.
Kugyo - "Hey! Calm down or your gonna break the tennis rackets!"
And right on cue, Rias, Akeno, Sona and Sona's seconds' rackets all break open.
Kugyo - ".........."
Rias tells us to all meet back in the clubroom.
.
.
Kugyo - "Did you really have to use magic back there? You could've gotten caught."
Akeno - "You mean you noticed those little..... enhancers?"
Kugyo - "Well, duh. It's pretty easy to notice stuff when people aren't fondling over your body.
Akeno - "Oh?? But what if I want them to do that~"
She grabs me by the arm, taking me by surprise.
Rias - "Akeno. Not the time."
Akeno - "Yes, Rias. Apologies."
I sit down on the couch and exhale deeply as Rias and Akeno left the room to discuss something.
Koneko - "I hoped you'd show up."
I looked at Koneko.
Koneko - "You don't have to respond if you don't want to. I understand."
Kugyo - "I don't think I thanked you."
Koneko - "?"
Kugyo - "The night that church burnt to the ground, you were the only one who bothered to at least show some kind of support. I want to thank you for that."
Koneko - "I.....wh..."
Rias and Akeno reentered the room.
Rias - "After some discussion, Akeno and I have decided to settle this competition via dodgeball tomorrow night."
Akeno - "That means we all have to do our best to get Issei and Asia their familiars."
Rias - "Thank you for showing up, Rain. I undertand that you are going through a tough time, but it's good to get out of your room. Which is why I want you to take Kiba's place tomorrow in the dodgeball game."
Kugyo - "What?! No!"
Rias - "Rain, I understand that you are in pain. But I can't stress this enough when I say that it's good for you."
Akeno - "And, we'll end up making you take Issei's jobs if you don't show up tomorrow."
Kugyo - "What if I just don't show up to either?"
Rias - "Well, you won't get an ounce of privacy for the rest of the year"
Akeno picked up a sleeping bag and pillow and that made me stand up.
Kugyo - "Oh HELL nah!"
I recomposed my self and cleared my throat.
Kugyo - "Fine. I'll play in this godforsaken dodgeball game."
Rias - "Oh, good! I'd hoped you'd say that!"
I throw up the middle finger and sit back down.
Rias - "I appreciate your enthusiasm. But on the topic of getting out more, I have little favor of you to ask."
Kugyo - "I swear to god, Rias."
Rias - "I need you to go and dispose of a couple of rogue demons."
Kugyo - "You know what? Why do I even bother asking?! Fine I'll purge a coupla demons!"
I go to my rom and put on my leather jacket and grab my car keys. Then, I exit the school and hop in my car. But as I'm leaving, I see Koneko enter the passenger seat.
Kugyo - "Hey, Koneko."
Koneko doesn't respond.
Kugyo - "Uh, why are you here?"
Koneko - "Rias requested me to come with you, so that's what I'm doing."
I respond my turning on the ignition and revving out of the parking lot. It's time for some demon hunting.
