Devil among Devils By King of Plot Bunnies DxD (COPY)

CHAPTER 12: Secret & Old Friends

"Well now," Rias began, her cheek noticeably twitching. "Would someone please explain to me why there are three fallen angels sitting in our clubroom?"

Issei laughed nervously when everyone turned to stare at him as though it were his fault. 'Damn you, Azazel,'

The damnable Governor had sent him a cheeky message along with his new charges, stating 'There's no safer place than in your custody, after all! xD'. Emoticon included.

"We've been placed under Issei-sama's protective custody," Calawarner replied smoothly. Rias raised an eyebrow at her new found respect but didn't comment on it.

"Each of us has taken on a binding contract," Yuuma continued. "While we are in his custody we must follow Ise-kun's every order."

"And if we don't…" Mittelt pointed at a black leather collar around her neck. A glance showed Yuuma and Calawarner sporting similar collars. "Issei-sama just has to say the word and these things will take our heads off in a gory explosion."

"And you simply chose to leave yourselves at the mercy of a devil?" Rias asked. They seemed to hesitate for a moment.

"It was either that or be imprisoned," Calawarner said after a while. "Our comrade, Dohnaseek chose that option. Raynare chose to return here. Mittelt and I simply followed her."

"Is that so?"

"I assure you, we'll be causing no trouble here," the woman continued. "Our orders are to lay low and do as Issei-sama says."

Rias was silent for a while before speaking up. "Very well," she conceded. "But be aware that we'll be watching you closely. May I ask for your names?"

"You'd be a fool not to," Calawarner nodded. "And my name is Calawarner. I've been placed here as a world history teacher. I am also Issei-sama's new homeroom teacher."

"Mittelt," the blonde angel said, examining her nails in a bored manner. "I'll be a first year here."

"She's in our class," Morgiana spoke up. Koneko nodded in confirmation.

"My true name is Raynare," the black-haired angel introduced herself. "But I'm going by Amano Yuuma for the time being."

"A-Ano!" Chiho stuttered. "A-Are you really Issei-san's girlfriend?"

Yuuma smirked as she held Issei's hand. "Why, yes, I am."

Issei felt a chill ride up his spine as his female servants turned to glare at him. Meanwhile, Chiho seemed to deflate. "O-Oh…"

"Ara, you may be the official girlfriend," Tamamo conceded. "But I'd say you're still dead-last at the moment."

"Eh?" Chiho seemed confused but Yuuma simply scowled. "What do you mean, Tamamo-san?"

The fox-girl grinned mischievously. "Why, Master is a hot-blooded male, after all." she giggled. "And we, his beautiful and ever-so-willing servants have been with him for a very long time..."

"Huh?"

"Devils aren't exactly known for celibacy or monogamy, girl," Yuuma scowled. "So… all of them?"

"At least once," Issei admitted sheepishly as Chiho seemed to hyperventilate. "With Morgiana being the exception."

"Actually…" Tamamo said with a sly grin. Morgiana went red, making Issei's heart quicken.

"It was right after you went out drinking with Azazel," Mordred seemed to enjoy seeing the look on her master's face. "In New Orleans; Mardi Gras, remember? Don't worry, she didn't mind. Judging by the sounds we heard, anyway. Man, that was wild."
