"How've you been, since last night?" Kenji asked directly, in a low voice so no-one would hear.
"I've been okay. " Issei replied.

"After that girl with wings tried to kill me, and after you ran off after her, Rias showed up, took me through a circle thingy, and told me that… that…"
"Something tells me that this is for our ears only. " Kenji said, standing up.
"Come on. " He and Issei walked into the school, and into the classroom that Kenji would have his next lesson in.
There was no-one inside, so Kenji and Issei headed inside, and shut the door.
"Let me guess. " Kenji deadpanned to Issei.
"Rias gave you a brief explanation of the supernatural, and then dropped a bomb on you saying that you were a Devil, and some explanation on her peerage, right?"
"Yeah, she d-" Issei began, before registering what Kenji said. "Wait.
How do you know?!"
"To be blunt, I'm a Devil as well. " Kenji replied.
"Out of curiosity, who's in Rias' peerage?"
"Well, Akeno Himejima, Rias said, was her Queen. " Issei remembered the conversation he'd had with Rias last night.
"Koneko Toujou is her Rook. " Kenji remembered seeing the diminutive white-haired girl.
"And the pretty-boy, Kiba Yuuto, is her Knight. And I'm… her Pawn.
" He looked slightly down when he said that.
"Hey, don't be like that, Issei. " Kenji said.
"Being a Pawn isn't all bad, since Pawns can promote when they're deep enough into enemy territory or when the King allows it, to a Knight, Bishop, Rook or Queen. "
"Really?" Issei brightened up. "Rias didn't tell me that.
" Kenji sighed.
"Well, now you know. " He replied, as the bell rang.
"Sorry, Issei. I'll talk to you later.
" He gave Issei a pat on the back, while the door opened, and in walked Rias and Akeno.
"Oh, Kenji!" Rias greeted Kenji, happily. "I didn't know you were friends with my beloved Pawn!"
"He has a name, you know. " Kenji remarked.
"And I don't think you have the right to refer to him as your 'beloved' Pawn, after you've known him for a whole sixteen hours. " His voice was slightly colder.
"Issei, see you later. "
"See you, Kenji. " Issei replied, heading out of the room while other third-year students trailed into the class.
Line Break
As the bell rang to signal the end of the lesson, Kenji packed up his stuff, and left the room. When he was down in the courtyard, he heard his name being called.
"Hey, Kenji. " Kenji turned around, and saw Akeno leaning against a tree behind him, and staring at him.
"What?" Kenji replied, not even turning his full body around to look at her. "What do you want, Akeno?"
"Just to ask you something. " Akeno replied, her normal, flirty tone gone, and replaced by a cold and hard one.
"How does it feel to be associated with a species that only knows lying and cheating?"
"I know that's the reputation of Devils, but I haven't met any Devils that are like that. " He replied.
"Apart from the head of my former family, but hey. " He saw Akeno's teeth clenching in anger.
"Do you know how much you made my King suffer?" the raven-haired daughter of Kenji's godparents asked, narrowing her eyes at Rias' younger brother. "Do you know how many nights Rias has cried herself to sleep because of what YOU did?"
"Not really. " Kenji replied.
"And I can't be assed to find out. "
"It was almost every night. " Akeno said, not listening to what Kenji said.
"Almost every night for over a year that Rias has had to cry, without the comforting thought of her younger brother, who, even before he left, rebuffed her loving affections, and she's doing even worse now, now that he's abandoned his true family, and been brainwashed into joining up with the Fallen Angels. " She spat the final two words like poison.
"And to make matters worse, you don't even understand what horrible beings they are, particularly HIM. "
"I'm pretty sure that HE has a name, y'know. " Kenji said.
"Baraqiel, was it? Well, judging by your reaction, I'd say probably. " Akeno's eyes had narrowed, and electricity was beginning to gather in her hands.
"Well, let me drop a little bit of info on you, Akeno. " Kenji fully turned around.
"Baraqiel is probably the person in the Grigori that I'm the closest to, besides my peerage, my two sisters, and my Dad. He is my godfather, one of the people who trained me to become who I am today, and whether you're his daughter or not, you will NOT disrespect him in front of me.
" His voice became hard, and he released a small amount of killing intent. Akeno, however, stood firm.
"Beloved brother of my master or not, Kenji" she said, the lightning in her hands intensifying. "You shouldn't talk about things you don't understand, especially not the reason my mother is dead!"
"Mother?" Kenji blinked. "Oh, you mean Shuri? Nope, she's alive.
"
"LIAR!" Akeno shrieked, the lightning increasing to an alarming level. "As Rias Gremory's Queen, it is my duty to please my King! And I will fulfil that duty, by defeating you and-" She faltered slightly, as she blinked, and in that instant that her eyes had closed, Kenji was suddenly right in front of her.
"Enough, Akeno! I'VE HAD IT!" Kenji shouted, grabbing her by the front of her shirt (where the ribbon on her school uniform was, not on her gigantic tits (though Kenji would be lying if he said they weren't nice-looking breasts)), lifting her up, swinging her around, and slamming her against the tree she had been leaning on, momentarily stunning her.

While she was stunned, Kenji grabbed both of Akeno's wrists in his left hand and forced them above her head, stopping her from attacking, and with his other hand, he opened a magic-circle and grabbed one of his guns. His finger on the trigger, he pointed it squarely between Akeno's eyes.
