Aki Gremory the second child of the Gremory clan and current heir to the throne for a long time his family thought him to be dead after hunting for members of his peerage and never returning but on the date of his death he accidentally reveals himse...
All three of the family rush to get Aki some help Zeoticus places him gently on a sofa before pacing trying to think, Venelana sobs by her sons side while Sirzechs calls for his wife Grayfia.
Not long after calling, Grayfia shows up out of a sigil walking with grace over to the unconscious boy checking his pulse and his forehead as she's checking him over she scolds Sirzechs "stop biting your nails it's a bad habit husband" she feels a lump that hisses as she touches it.
She tilts her head as a small wounded cat crawls weakly toward Aki's pocket pulling out a small piece of meat, as it gets eaten the cats injuries heal quicker and it begins looking more healthy, the cat turns leaping of the sofa disappearing into a shadow.
"Have we got phoenix tears?" Grayfia asks calmly to Sirzechs who disappears whilst waiting Grayfia turned to Venelana "are you ok? I've not seen you like this in a long time" Venelana shakes her head looking at the floor, hiding her tear streaked face.
Grayfia arches an eyebrow at her before snapping her head round seeing two people teleport using a Gremory Sigil.

Zeoticus clenches his fist at the two women who just showed up "who are you?!" He roars Esdeath slowly turns to Zeoticus furious "who hurt him" Zeoticus wavers slightly "none of your business now identify yourselves your trespassing on the Duke of Gremory's territory" in a flash Esdeath has a sword against his throat the tip stopped short of his jugular thanks to Grayfia.
Charmy waddles up next to Venelana pulling out a piece of bread turning to face her "don't worry we're here to help" she smiles before ripping off a piece of bread and stuffing it into Aki's mouth no more than five seconds pass before Aki bolts up looking around seeing a familiar room "the fuck?".
Esdeath and Grayfia exchange blows neither one being able to catch the other off guard until they stop abruptly as Aki pops up out of nowhere ripping the weapons out of their hands.
Grayfia looks dumbfounded whilst Esdeath lets out a little squeal of joy before hugging Aki hard "um... what'd I miss?" Sirzechs asks as he wanders back in holding a little vial.
"Hi bro" Aki smiles weakly as Esdeath grips him so tight he begins to feel light headed "darling? Could I possibly say hello to my folks?" Esdeath slowly lets out of the hug and Aki wobbles but is caught by Venelana "where have you been" she sobs embracing him gentler than Esdeath but not by much.
"I'd like to know the same, where did you go, why'd you leave us thinking you were dead and who the fuck are these two?" Zeoticus yells downing the rest of a bottle of alcohol.
"Um that's a long story... but I've got time I suppose" Aki grins Sirzechs come up to him and his mother whispering in her ear, Venelana smiles before placing a kiss on Aki's head and glides off to get cleaned up.
Aki sits down on a sofa opposite his parents and brother his two peerage members stood behind him similar to how Grayfia is stood behind Sirzechs "so anyone wanna ask a question?".
"Where have you been?!" Zeoticus starts "I've been all over the mortal world currently I'm in New York" he replies calmly, "what's up with your eye?" Sirzechs asks, Aki rubs his eyelid where his fake eye is "it's pure magic if that makes sense had to create it when my eye was destroyed" Aki answers again calmly "who are you?" Asks Grayfia her head slightly tilted causing Aki to chuckle "I'm Aki Gremory former heir of House Gremory and second born son of Zeoticus and Venelana" he smiles.
"What happened to you?" Venelana asks, Aki goes rigid his breathing becoming heavier as he's reminded of what happened, Esdeath places a hand on his shoulder and he calms taking a deep breath in "almost a decade ago when I set out to find members for my peerage i was attacked at the edge of our territory by a fallen called Kokabiel I managed to escape and heal but I've been hunting him down".
Zeoticus stand yelling "FALLEN IN MY TERRITORY AZAZEL IS A DEAD MAN" Aki stands aswell "no dad you can't I don't think he had anything to do with it, I believe an allied devil family ordered the hit on me but I'm not sure who it's why I've been keeping my being alive a secret" Aki explains "so me being alive can not be known by anyone but us five" he says.
Sirzechs scratches his chin "but if you resurfaced after all these years with your head held high it could make that certain family nervous and if you continue your investigation openly they'll trip up eventually not to mention we can give you the resources you need" Sirzechs grins 'bastard why have you always been so smart' Sirzechs holds a triumphant look on his face "... fine you have brilliant points as long as if Kokabiel resurfaces I get dibs".
Aki's mother finally speaks after sitting staring fondly at her son "what if we make it a surprise? Rias' 18th birthday is coming up and she missed you terribly" Sirzechs smiles "that's a brilliant idea mother" Aki ponders on it as he watches his peerage wandering the room looking at artifacts and pictures "fine but not even Rias can know until the announcement is made".
Aki hugs his parents and brother as well as bowing to his sister in law as he wanders over to Esdeath and Charmy who are fixated on a photo of a small boy who looks no older than seven.

"You two having fun?" He smirks as the two jump "what you staring at an old picture of me for?" He asks "aww you look so cute" Esdeath exclaims a deep blush paints her face "meh that's the old me" Esdeath smirks "still cute though" Aki blushes "hush", he spins and goes to say goodbye to his family as Esdeath slips the picture down her cleavage.
"I'll see you guys next week and I'll be sure to bring my peerage with me" they all say their goodbyes and Aki takes his queen and bishop back to the penthouse.
