(First Generation Sun Wukong POV)

--------------------------------

It was always amusing to see Ryūjin Himejima again. The boy was a walking contradiction. Restless and sedentary, lustful and chaste, shy and gregarious.

The day the boy came to his home seeking training in the Sage Arts was one he held dear. The dynamic between Bikou and Ryūjin couldn't be more opposing if they were fire and water magic. His descendant was a very much in your face type of person, and the prank he'd played on the young Fallen Angel during the climb had piqued Wukong's interest in the halfling. Fast forward several years and the boy was stronger than ever. That training under Lord Sakrà had put him on the cusp of the top ten strongest existences. And that Power of Domination he possessed had the potential for mass chaos. It couldn't be detected, and most of the time Himejima wasn't even aware he was using it. But Himejima's Power of Domination was extremely dangerous and could hurt his mental state severely. That's what prompted the meeting.

During the training certain seals were placed upon the boy at Azazel's blessing. With the unveiling of the True Longinus, those seals would be considerably weakened. The observer next to him complicated this.

''I hope your happy crow, that explosion of power you unleashed sent shockwaves through the Supernatural world. My vanguard is in a downward spiral now thanks to you.'' Despite the anger Lord Sakrà showed, Wukong knew he was not truly angry.

This was part of the contest between the two.

Who would win? Wukong had wondered that before…

Ryūjin Himejima or Cao Cao….

A question for another time.

''Easy, Sakrà. You know he had no way of controlling himself. The suppression sickness is extremely dangerous. And then there's that power of his.'' Wukong says, placing a hand on his Lord's shoulder.

Sakrà shrugs it off, though Wukong knows there is no indignation in it. He is simply here to ensure Sakrà keeps his head.

''That is not an excuse, Lord Wukong. I shouldn't have kept it sealed for so long. Though if my brother is unable to come to terms, perhaps he should come to me and we can settle his identity crisis.'' Ryūjin said and at that, Sakrà grins viciously.

''You've been gone for a long time, crow, what makes you think you're even in contention anymore?'' It was a valid question, even if it sounded like Sakrà wasn't seriously asking.

''Because, at the end of the day, you need the strongest. Cao Cao is good, I won't argue that. But there is a difference in fighting against the occasional strong opponent and constantly challenging yourself. Cao Cao might have grown more powerful, but you know some of the names of people I've fought. Every time I come back half dead, I'm stronger. You also know who else I've trained under! Cao Cao hasn't. If it will come down to a death match, can you honestly and freely acknowledge that Cao Cao would win?'' There was passion behind his words. But also truth.

''He's not wrong you know.'' Wukong said before taking a long slow suck of his pipe. ''Crom Cruach, Vlad, Medusa, Scáthach, The Hydra, and Cerberus. Trained by three, killed the other three. You may not like it Sakrà, but the boy does not lie. Not to us.'' He reminded.

''Never to you.'' Ryūjin affirms.

''We can discuss this layer, when the bats aren't listening.'' Says Sakrà at long last.

''Yes, Master.'' Ryūjin bows his head first to Sakrà, then to him. Respectful as always.

--------------------------------

Turning to look at Sakrà, Wukong continues to suck on his pipe, But days nothing.

It was curious.

The seal on the Domination power had never been fully intact, it wasn't broken, but it had certainly weakened considerably.

''Speak your mind.'' Sakrà barks.

''You saw it.'' Says Wukong.

''Your point?'' Sakrà asks irritably.

''Why didn't you ask me to reinforce it?'' Asks Wukong.

''Your saw the threads didn't you? Our eyes see all. He's not even aware he's doing it. New threads have formed. Threads connected to this generation's Red Dragon Empress, the sister of Sirzechs, those prisoners he has, his sister. Even Lucifuge's granddaughter. I did nothing because the situation did not call for it.'' Says Sakrà.

''That boys Power of Domination could cause serious damage.'' Wukong warns.

''But not to us, he's loyal. Go home Wukong, I need to hit something.''

--------------------------------

(POV Shift: Grayfia Lucifuge)

--------------------------------

''Are you alright?'' Himejima asked her.

Alright?

She didn't know how to answer that. This boy had dealings with Indra, the Hindu god of war.

''I don't know.'' She answered honestly.

''I sought Sun Wukong out, years ago. I wanted to get stronger. I'd trained under father and Kokabiel previously, but it wasn't enough. I needed to expand My horizons. Senjutsu seemed a natural next step. I went to Mount Meru, and through a series of events, studied under Wukong and later Indra. But there was only so much the two of them were able to teach me, not to mention things they were willing to teach me. So I went to a country I've always had a string connection to. Ireland. From there I met the immortal warrior woman, and the Evil Dragon King. Later,I traveled to Romania. In the end, I got what I wanted. But Lord Indra and Master Wukong had another disciple. The two of us have been competing against each other to prove Worthy of being the next Vanguard of Indra.'' Says Himejima, and that's a lot to take in.

She didn't even know where to start with reporting that back to Sirzechs. Though she knew she had to.

''You look a lot like him you know? Both of them actually. Only natural I suppose given that small lick of Lucifer Blood in you.'' Says Himejima and she's confused by what he meant.

''Who exactly?'' She asked a small frown.

''That small bit of Lucifer Blood makes you look like my friend who shall remain nameless. That Lucifuge blood of yours makes you look a lot like Euclid. I met your brother years ago. He's…well let's just say he walked away mostly intact and still suckling from Razevan's cock.'' Swallowing her shock, she grows serious.

''What do you know of Euclid and Razevan?'' She demands.

''A lot. But I'll let you try and figure out the how. You already have one clue, when you figure out the second…we'll…that'll happen after Phenex comes calling.'' Says Ryūjin, and that doesn't satisfy her at all.

''Not good enough.'' She tells him, to which he smiles amusedly.

''It's not that I don't want to tell, it's just that the details are highly classified. As long as I don't explicitly - key word explicitly - tell you the details, I can't get in trouble. Besides I enjoy a good mystery. For now, Lady Lucifuge, get some rest. You'll need the night to figure out how you're gonna report this all to Sirzechs.

As much as she wanted - needed - answers…

He was right.

This first report would be too important not to write. And if worded wrong it could cause serious damage. His inferred relationship with Lady Serafall would cause chaos of it was proven true and released publicly. Throw in his relationship to Indra and the First Generation Sun Wukong and on top of everything else….the potential destruction was unfathomable.

''Thank you.'' She said, deciding it was better not to push it so soon after finding out that information.

''I'll be up for a little while longer. I do Have a family to oversee.'' Said Ryūjin.

--------------------------------

(POV Shift: Ryūjin Himejima)

--------------------------------

Once he was certain Grayfia wasn't going to sneak out, Ryūjin went to check on Asia. As he arrived, he noticed a certain someone leaving Asia's room.

''How is she?'' He asked the small blonde.

''Fine. Her period of adjustment is all most over. She'll wake up in a day or to.'' Was the little sucker's response.

''You fed yet?'' He asked her.

''Somewhat. The supplies you provide me are useful. Doesn't beat the gold standard though.'' Says the healer.

''I suppose you'd like your fill now?'' Her eyes lit up, and she eyed him with a predatory look. Her tongue darted out to lick her lips.

''So be it Valerie. Join me in the study when your ready.'' He said to the Tepes princess.

--------------------------------

(POV Shift: Rias Gremory)

--------------------------------

The feeling of cold water on her skin did little to quell the feelings and dreams she'd been suffering for several days.

Innocent and simple at first, but very quickly they turned carnal. Even beneath the stream of cold water, she could feel the effects of the dreams.

She was slick with arousal. Her face burned jot whenever she thought about the dreams. Of Ryūjin bending her over his knee. Of her raising her skirt, and receiving a firm spank for whatever reason it was. That was one thing. It was the things that came after.

Touching her ample breasts, which were already sensitive and now that sensitivity was supercharged. Rias did her best to calm herself. Even if her fiancée was a - no pun intended - devil straight from the deepest parts of hell. She still had a fiancée and she should not be having these dreams.

But with each night, the dreams become more and more intimate, and she woke up with more and more arousal.

Why was this happening to her?

--------------------------------

(POV Shift: Akeno Himejima)

--------------------------------

She was sprawled out on her bed.

If anyone walked in then one of two things would occur. A male would get an erection, a female would be scandalized.

Why?

She was masturbating furiously. Using one hand to stimulate her pussy, while she pumped a dildo in and out of her ass furiously. The clamps on her nipples occasionally sparked with thunder magic.

The dreams she'd been having since Ryūjin's return to her life had left her horny. She needed release. Even if she'd rather the dildo be a real cock. And that real cock being be her brothers.

The erotic and intimate nature of that particular fantasy served to increase her pleasure exponentially.

She'd been edging herself for hours, prolonging her desires and pleasure. But finally she felt herself erupt with pronounced pleasure.

Too bad it wasn't anything more than a fantasy…

--------------------------------

(POV Shift: Asia Argento)

--------------------------------

Her eyes fluttered open. She surveyed the room she was in.

The bed was so comfy, she felt herself sink into comfort. But she was afraid, the last thing she remembered…was a bright and ever-increasing light. Anything after that was blank.

Maybe she'll get up in a few hours…or…

''You're awake. Good, hello Asia.'' Turning her head she saw Ryūta.

''You're okay… that god.'' Says Asia.

''Asia, allow me to introduce myself properly. My name is Ryūjin Himejima, the son of Baraqiel, and the wielder of the True Longinus. And like me, you are now a Fallen Angel.''

Say what?

--------------------------------

(Author's Note:)

--------------------------------

Well, chapter five took longer than I expected. That Indra scene took a lot longer than I thought it would. Took up a larger chunk of the chapter too. Anyway the Power of Domination is something I plan to develop across several chapters. So don't expect me to give anybody any details about it before those chapters have been developed and posted.

Next chapter we'll see some of the conversation between Asia and Ryūjin as well as a formal introduction to the current members of Ryūjin's Fallen Saints Deck.

Speaking of which, I guess we can now officially confirm that Valerie Tepes is part of Ryūjin's deck. Either way, this means Kuroka will be making her official debut into the story as will the second secret member of Ryūjin's deck.

All in all the next chapter is set to be a good one, especially with what I have got planned for the ending. Non preemptive or early reveals for that, so you all will just have to wait and see what happens there.

We'll also be addressing what happened to Raynare, Kalawarner, and Mitleet in either the next chapter or far more likely the one after it. Remains to be seen what will happen and when it happens.

Last bit of news is an important one. I'll be writing the Riser Arc in a chapter or two. The first chapter will be followed by a chapter which is an intermission between the first chapter and the Rating Game between Rias and Riser. Ryūjin won't interfere there too much, but as I've previously listed in past chapters if Rias loses, Ryūjin will storm the Wedding. Thats gonna be a fun write if I do decide to have Rias lose like she did in canon.
