Third Person POV

A red vortex mysteriously formed completely out of thin air; swirling and crackling with an unusual energy that appeared to be warping the air around the vortex itself.

After a couple of seconds of nothing, a clawed hand would soon come through the said vortex and it would slowly push through before it was revealed to be a familiar two-headed demonic creature.

The two heads let out various snarls and growls as the creature pulled its body through the portal; which immediately closed behind it through moment that it passed all the way through.

Looking around, the two-headed demon noticed that the portal had dropped it off in a rather... unique-looking forest. The trees themselves looked relatively normal; although the unique thing about these particular trees was that the leaves on them were instead replaced by what appeared to be small flames.

Demon Head 1: "I take it that..."

It looked at the other head.

Demon Head 1: "This is our destination?"

The second head growled.

Demon Head 2: "We're in the right area but...."

Its eyes scanned the surrounding area and saw nothing but more and more trees with flames on the branches.

Demon Head 2: "I don't see the target anyway"

Demon Head 1: "No shit, dumbass. We're literally standing in a forest, of course, the target won't be here!"

The second head growled at the first.

Demon Head 2: "Well, at least I'm looking for the target!"

The first one used the body's right hand to pinch the bridge of its nose, letting out an annoyed growl.

Why did he have to share the body with such an idiot? Couldn't he just have been made with a single head instead of having two?

Demon Head 1: "First, we just got here. Secondly, we were told that we needed to locate the target's household"

Demon Head 2: "And how long will that take?"

The only response that the second head was given, was a deep chuckle as it watched as a grin slowly formed onto the first head.

Demon Head 1: "Not long with our enhanced senses"

The second head would soon join its friend? Brother? Itself? Either way, it joined the first head on the chuckling.

Demon Head 2: "Oh, Good"

He kept chuckling.

Demon Head 2: "Why, that's very good! Yes, I like that!"

Demon Head 1: "Now, let's get started"

Demon Head 2: "Yes..."

The two-headed demon would then lift its left arm, revealing a fiery orb within its grasp. Said orb, glowing with a faint eerie glow.

Both Heads: "Today, we hunt!"

Meanwhile at the Hyoudou Residence.

At the Hyoudou household, things appeared to be going quite well this afternoon. After their unexpected encounter with Sona and her Peerage, both Issei and Asia said their goodbyes to Rias and the other members of the ORC; before they left the academy and made their way back home.
