“There’s also another thing you should know.
I took the liberty of looking a bit deeper into your memory and along with chakra, I could sense the exact same dark energy coming from your little girlfriend.
There’s a possibility that she may have gone through the same process as that boy.” Naruto gave no visible reaction to the news, earning a soft sigh from the tailed beast.
While the boy may have acted stoic to the news, Kurama knew that the information was affecting his container.
If there was one thing that could get a reaction out of Naruto, it was anything that affected his precious people.
The giant beast rose its paw into the air and gave the boy a reassuring pat on his head.
He then stood to his full height and walked out of the clearing, leaving the Naruto alone to himself and his thoughts.
“What is going on and how is Koneko-chan involved?”
Rias Gremory tapped her fingers in a rhythmic pattern against one of the many hardwood desk located within Kuoh academy.
Though, if one was to be honest, this wasn’t just any normal, old desk.
The thing that made this desk special was the fact that it was located in the student council room.
The student council was made up of an illustrious group of students located within the education system of Kuoh Academy.
The head and leader of this council were no other than Sona Sitri, heiress to the Sitri clan and the very same person that the red-haired girl was waiting for.
“It’s very unusual that Sona-chan would be late.
Especially for one of our meetings.” Rias thought to herself as her fingers continued to tap against the desk.
Not even a minute after the thought, the door to the council room creaked open, revealing a somewhat flustered Sona Sitri.
The black haired girl took a second to remove any out of place hair and dust off her uniform before walking over to her desk.
“I am sorry for the delay Gremory-san but I have recently acquired a rather stubborn pawn that has been giving me a lot of trouble.
Rias nodded as a bright flash a light covered the desk the girls were sitting at.
The light soon disappeared to reveal an intricate chess board now sat upon the table.
“It’s not a problem.
I recently managed to get a new pawn myself and he is a bit of a handful.” Rias said as she began the first move of the game.
Her having the first move in their games was unspoken tradition that was in place ever since Sona had soundly beat Rias in their first game.
“Yes I heard or rather I sensed it.
Issei Hyoudou, one of the members of the perverted trio but also a suspected sacred gear owner.
A rather interesting pick, even for you and your diverse peerage.” Sona stated as she quickly moved her own piece.
The Sitri heir would be lying if she wasn’t just slightly envious of the amount of unique pieces the girl sitting in front of her had acquired.
While she had trained her peerage to the best of her abilities and knew that they would be able to evenly compete with Rias’, she still felt slightly jealous since the boy was suspected to have a sacred gear within his possession.
Though her own new addition to her peerage somewhat made up for that fact.
“Yes, he is quite the handful honestly.
His status as a perverted individual wasn’t exactly well received by some of my peerage members.
He is still very rough around the edges but we’re working the kinks out.” Sona hummed at the response as she once again analyzed the board.
Rias and she had been playing against each other in the game of strategy for years at this point.
Ever since the two had met each other as children, a natural rivalry had formed between the them.
Their position in the devil society, the power their siblings had and the natural ego they each contained made for the perfect formula for a rivalry. This story is hosted at g.com.
Unfortunately, when they were younger, neither had a full peerage so they were forced to compete against each other games of chess.
That tradition had carried on throughout the entirety of their childhoods and continued to this day.
Usually Sona would find herself on the winning end of most of their matches.
She was the more intelligent of the two and as a child, there was almost no competition between them.
Though as time went on, Rias adapted and began to use unorthodox strategies that would catch the Sitri heiress off guard.
Their matches had become more even as time passed but usually Sona would still come out as victorious most of the time.
“I sensed your brother in town a few days ago.
Is everything okay?” At this, Rias froze before releasing a sigh.
Sona raised a single eyebrow at this.
She knew that the red-haired girl’s brother could be rather eccentric, the same thing could be said about her sister, but the girl never reacted like that when she asked about Sirzechs in the past;
“Yes, I needed to meet with him for a personal matter.
Koneko recently found herself a boyfriend and I was rather suspicious of the man.
He is around our age and doesn’t even attend school.
I was attempting to find out more information on him by using my brother but that plan failed horribly.” The red haired girl stated as she slumped down in her seat.
Sona blinked owlishly at the information, not exactly comprehending what she had just heard.
“Koneko?
As in your peerage member, Koneko?” Rias nodded her head solemnly, shocking Sona even more.
