"I have a boss of course. I'm in charge of everyone else though. Also I'm not second in command or even third or fourth. I'm just in charge of everyone else on a more personal level. We became like family you could say." Ritsuka smiled wistfully… something Koneko immediately picked up on. Even then she shrunk down slightly bringing her knees up to her head.

"Family, huh? Is it good?" Koneko asked leaning her head on her hands which rested on her knees.

"Sometimes. Other times it can get dicey since not everyone likes one another. I have to be the mediator more often than I'm comfortable with." Ritsuka chuckled making Koneko look down at the ground.

Memories of a time long ago with a sister danced through her head before she ruthlessly squashed it back to mush. It was unimportant. She stood up taking in all the information she got seemingly satisfied for the moment. As long as Ritsuka helped Rias then he would be trusted.

"Come. We return home." Koneko stated as Ritsuka stood up as well. He was probably going to take another shower before bed.

The two raced off ignoring the stares of anyone who saw them jogging by.

"Whoa! Look at that!" A young man pointed out as Koneko ran by in her school gym uniform. Ogling her bloomer clad butt in all its glory. His two friends also leered but did so much more subtly.

"Calm down you idiot! We shouldn't be so blatant. We connoisseurs not lecherous dogs." The second man said as he brushed his brown hair out of his eyes. "Eventually we'll join the illustrious halls of Kuoh Academy and then our paradise will truly begin!"

"Wait… who's that?" The third young man with the glasses pointed as the boy that followed Koneko. She waited for him as they ran side by side.

"Um… should we be worried about that?" The first young man stated.

"Gah! Some pretty boy immediately got the school mascot Koneko Toujou in his clutches! Truly this is the darkest timeline…" The boy with brown hair looked off into the distance completely lost in horror.

"Don't worry about it Issei. There's still the Two Beauties of the Academy. Don't despair just yet!" The third young man stated.

Uplifted in spirit the three young men continued along unaware of anything that was going on in the world around them.

The pair returned home without any problems. Ritsuka took a deep breath and relaxed though Koneko continued to stare at him.

"You know… I don't mind you staring but it would be better if you just talk to me outright rather than make up opinions in your head." Ritsuka stared at the small supposed devil if he was guessing right.

"You are keeping quiet. Quiet about a lot of things." Koneko shot back.

"Are you willing to tell me your life story just a few moments after we just met? These things take time. It takes time for friends to grow closer." Ritsuka replied making certain to keep his tone level.

"Friends? You want to be friends with me?" Koneko tilted her head. She seemed confused over that simple statement.

"Yes, friends. Is that wrong? I thought that was why we were jogging together?" Ritsuka questioned as he crossed his arms seemingly lost in thought.

"Hm, friends…" Koneko opened the door and waited until Ritsuka stepped in. After closing the door she rushed off for her room.

"That was weird…" Ritsuka mumbled before traveling to his room. He needed to check on his magical circuits.

Koneko flopped into her bed allowing the information she had received swirl around her head. The more she thought about it, the weirder it got.

Ritsuka didn't look the sort to work with exorcists though he said he had. He wasn't filled with the disdain most did when they hunted what they considered evil. The fact that he called her his friend even while being cold to him forced her to think a lot about her assessment. She would tell Rias what she learned but now she had to dress it up in a way that wouldn't get him killed.

Even then she didn't really think they could kill him easily. For as much as she enjoyed the thought of a new friend that wasn't a devil she still considered him dangerous. Even with his admittance towards being an underwhelming mage she could still smell copious amounts of mana bursting forth from within him.

It was dangerous to hold that much power yet he showed no sign of discomfort or megalomania that usually appeared in those sorts of people. He remained humble and down to earth even though everything he said screamed that he might have had a screw loose.

Rias has said so as well when he rambled on about monsters when they were talking about the previous night. There were moments that she noticed he would hold certain spots of his body either in concern or habit she couldn't tell. Rias had mentioned heavy wounds on his body… spot he would hold whenever he was nervous or thinking about something.

"Kiba is next… must find Rias and give report." She sighed to herself before changing back to her normal clothes of the Academy uniform.

"Ah you're back. How was the jog?" Rias called out just as Ritsuka reached the top of the stairs.

"Fine. I've memorized as much as possible of the blocks we traveled but I need to do it a few more times before I get it down right." Ritsuka chuckled before climbing back down a flight of stairs. "So anyone else want some one on one time with me?"

"Perhaps. My friend, Kiba, would like to fight you in a sword duel but we weren't certain if that was a good idea." Rias smiled though her eyes exuded a certain amount of concern.

"I have fought with swords before… though I'm more of a brawler than anything." Ritsuka admitted once again falling into a wistful stare.
