Rias pov

" You ok Rias," asks akeno as I fidget in my dress for the ball my ' Father' is hosting. Smoothing out my crimson red and Black dress I look at myself in my room's mirror. The dress is deep crimson red with a transparent black collar and is sleeveless. The dress wraps around my young body and has a faux split up my leg that's also covered in transparent black mesh. My red heel are toeless with my painted toes on display. My long crimson hair is loose flowing down my back. 'I look beautiful,' I think as I feel the stares of akeno and Koneko. I turn and look at my peerage and smile a bit at their clothing.

Akeno is in a deep purple qipao with stylized black flowers and leaves running diagonally from the bottom left to the top right. Her legs are covered in a thigh high stockings and a pair of black heels. Her hair is in a Buddha knot style with deep purple kanzashi hair accessories. She's wearing a black eyeshadow that makes her eyes pop while wearing light lipgloss.

Koneko is in a frilly white dress that has sleeves and a sequined collar. Her hair is the same with the two cat clips and Bob cut. On her feet is a pair of knee high socks and white flats. ' oh it's so cute on her,' I think as we leave my room to and head to the ballroom for the ball. As we walk there a door opens to my left and I smile as my mom steps out.

My mom is a beautiful woman with flaxen shoulder length hair and purple eyes. Her youthful face could pass as my sister. She's clad in a white thigh length dress with a black scalloped bust and black satin sash going around her waist. Her legs are bare with a purple anklet around her ankles. Her feet are in a set of toeless heels. The heel seems to be purple crystal.

" You look beautiful mom," I say honestly hugging her as she hugs me back. She rubs my back and says," I'm so sorry Rias, I tried all I could."

" I know," I say as we all leave towards the ballroom. Entering the ballroom koneko freezes suddenly and looks towards the entrance. I follow her gaze and see the boy from the familiar forest walk in with two beautiful girls by his side. There are also two adults with him.

His mother is dressed in a beautiful black dress with a sash bearing a magic circle that is a mystery to me. Her long legs are on display as the dress has a slit all the way up to the top of her hips. The slit at her hips has a set of crossing threads that lace the dress together.

The man who I believe is his father is clad in a formal tuxedo and suit jacket. His hair is wild looking much like a shaggy dog's would be. He is holding his dates arm with such grace and care. His mother leads the man away from the youths and leads him to us. As they get closer to us my mom stands a little straighter until they stop in front of us.

" Hello Venelana, it's been awhile," says the mom.

" That it has Elena, I must say you disappearing so many years ago caused quite a stir," says my mom seriously then smiles before they embrace each other.

" It's been a long time auntie," says my mom as my eyes widen," Rias meet your aunt Elena. She may have no ties to the bael clan anymore but she's still your Aunt."

" I look at the beautiful woman and greet her kindly," hello Aunt Elena I hope you like the ball." I say as she rolls her eyes before replying.

" You mean the gathering of stuck up nobles discussing how to get better graces with other houses," she says shocking me at her clear disdain," I only care for a few houses that have helped me in the past but no one truly cares for them since they're not pillar clans."

" Of course, and who is this with you," asks my mom looking at the man as he holds two glasses of champagne. He gives them to Aunt Elena and Mom.

" Sirius, thank you dear," says my aunt kissing his cheek. She looks at my mom and says," this is my husband Sirius, I would say his last name but it's quite long."

" Oh really why's that?" Asks my mom as she sips her champagne.

" He's possibly the last of his four clans he's apart of. Well other than my son of course," says aunt Elena as she looks out to the floor where the youths are gathered looking at her son who seems bored.

" My my, such a handsome boy, " says my mom licking her lips a little," he available?" My mom jokes.

" Yes even though he already has a large harem," says my aunt dashing my hopes as I hear that part. I already picture him as another riser seeing women like trophies instead of people.

" He loves them very much and has already proposed to Helena, the one with the glasses wearing the black and green dress," says my aunt," I actually knew her parents and they were some of the best friends I ever had."

As I look at the boy again he looks at his dates and smiles at them. I look at him as my mom asks," how many girls does he have?"

" Forty five was the last count , but he's already have four more falling for him. Im going to have so many grandbabies," says my aunt with Glee.

' maybe he won't be like riser then.' I think as I bid my mother farewell and join the youths. Akeno and Koneko close behind me.
