So what are you debating?

Enjoy.

You did some real last minute thinking over the past twelve hours or so. Between class, sleep, and everything you have to do in your routine, this is one solid headache. Then you look at your phone halfway through school.

< Down the road from the manor is an apartment complex under protection. She will never struggle financially for rest of her life.

And you. Yes that bedroom is yours, training, and I along with everyone here will help you grasp anything you want to do as far as goals. If there is any time there is a material item, a trip, a lover, we will try to help. We will always have your back.

The plan would be for us to go to your house and I will talk to your mother. Akeno and Asia will be with me.

Be well. See out at the courtyard. >

Wow. Can't pass it up. I'm assured and this is really good. I am so grateful for this opportunity. I can't wait to have her feel better. Hopefully watch her smile.

Rias was outside waiting for you as two boys were waiting as well. And they weren't Issei, Kiba, or Gasper. You walked towards Rias until get shouldered.

"Ou." You look at the punk in front of you.

"What's your business with them?" He asked.

"None of yours."

"Pussy." The other boy shoved you.

This when you acted. In the neighborhood you live in if you don't act by blasting this schmuck he will do it before you get a chance. You leaned forward and uppercut him. Then leap and blast his friend square his nose.

Rias walked in front of Asia. This was a fight. He's got fire in him. I was about to tell off. I can't interfere now. But he looks strong.

Both are taking a moment to recover. Two haymakers were something they weren't expecting from someone shorter than them. Not by much either. Two inches at most. And then all of the sudden they realize that you have to keep going. A fight isn't one blow and walk away. You hit until he's learned. The first guy you swing downward to his temple. Then front kick the second guy's face as a whole. Both on the ground.

"You stupid or what?" You ask them. They couldn't respond. Just groaned in pain. "Don't start it if you can't end it." Then you pay attention to the girls. Asia hide behind Rias for protection. Akeno and Rias were rather impressed. "Ladies..."

"Solid work." Nodded Rias.

"Let the bad boys be beat. I like it." Agreed Akeno.

"Anywho, let's get to your place. Can't wait to tell your mother the news."

"Neither can I Rias. Although forgive me if I get emotional."

"No worries."

It was going to come in stages. Being nervous getting to your house, her reaction, getting everything in motion, and getting settling in. Now was going to be the first stage of this. Going to your house was going to be emotional. For which one it will be was questionable. Trying to keep your heart rate down you lead the girls from the school courtyard and to the less fortunate part of town before school staff show up. This was Akeno's first time going through and this is something she saw familiar. A rundown section of the town and not much comes from it. Stories of struggle and not much surpassing. There are some born into this and will never get out. 

You open the door and call out to your mother. "I'm home with guests."

"In the kitchen." She called.

You lead the girls inside and see your mother having her last cup of coffee. In a mood where she was tired and wanting to get through the rest of her day. Anyone could feel the daunting and sad energy. "Hey Honey. Hi girls." Your mother nodded.

"Mom, I bring news." Smiling waiting to see this.

"You're dating?" She guessed.

"No Mom. But something we cannot pass up."

Rias stepped forward. "(FN) here is getting a school scholarship. Which includes new home arrangements for you as he goes into a school manor dormitory with us.

"My boy, is changing our lives!?" She stood up.

"Indeed. Which will bring you an apartment rent free for as long as he is in school and potentially longer. His work program will extend the offer which will take place in a year or two. He is under my eyes and will be under great care.

"Son." Your mother shed a tear. That silver tear that glistened and shined throughout the shady room.

"Ma..."

"I'm so proud of you. Thinking about me and not being selfish. And there is more than just the two of us now."

"I said one day we would leave this place." Now it was your turn. Those emotions were let out. A few tears. This was happening and even though you prepared you just couldn't help yourself. Seeing your mother cry was a weakness. Who could blame you?

"You have grown so much. Going to a better school, living independently, and still caring for me in the process. How I have waited for this day. I knew faith would have it. You (FN) have turned into something I had only imagined."

"Ma." You rush over to give her a hug. "I try."

"You secede Dear."

"Two days sound good?" Asked Rias.

"I'll pack everything." She calmed herself down. "(FN) I knew one day you would leave this place. I didn't think you could ever take me with you. After your father passed it's been tough. But we will start new in two days."

Akeno looked around and smiled. Wow Rias. You really picked someone who is really deserving. Holds his values, strong willed, and doesn't forget who matters. This is going to be an exciting boy to have around.
