"About something like that." Lunaru answered with a smile, "I think Kuro-pyon is finishing up his duties and Gawain said that he was going to check the Kendo team out." she said while closing her eyes in thought, opened them again to show a more serious look, "Also, what is up with your Knight, he keeps giving Gawain this look… like he's going to go crazy or something." The younger Gremory stated.
Rias sighed into her teacup as she turned to Issei, "Ise, could you leave the room for a bit." She asked and got a hesitant nod from her Pawn, though he looked like he wanted to stick around. After he left, the older turned back to her sibling, "Kiba has a loathing for Holy swords you see. Gawain being an owner of one stirred his hate a bit, thus making him a bit wary of Gawain. In fact, he's been asking me some questions about him. Hopefully once he feels a bit more comfortable around Gawain, it will pass." Rias said, not wanting to get depth about Kiba's revenge issues with the Excalibur.
Having its sister sword around was already trending on shaky grounds. But she knew Kiba would not do anything foolish.
Lunaru nodded and was about to continue with a new topic when the door slammed open as the red eyed pigtailed vampire of the younger Gremory peerage marched up to her King.
She was in the Kuoh uniform with her cat umbrella familiar, Nago, and her stout red bat familiar that looked like a primary school bag, Gii. She had a light sheen of sweat on her.
"Hey Ray-Ray, you're all sweaty!" Lunaru pointed out.
"I do not sweat, I simmer!" She said in a light hiss as she pointed to her King, "Do you know what that mangy mutt made me do?" she asked while crossing her petite arms, "Run laps. Run laps!" she shouted, "Not only did you force me to attend classes at this human school, but he ordered me around! Unforgivable!" she said with clenched teeth as her fangs showed.
Lunaru just patted the blonde on the head, "There there, it's okay. I got a muffin, so everything is fine." She said consolingly.
Rachel blinked owlishly, "You… You made me come here for a muffin?" she said in a clear tone of disbelief, "A measly pastry!" she shouted in rage!
"It was a chocolate chip!"
The vampire dropped Nago and grabbed Lunaru's whiskered cheeks and pulled them.
"It hwrts, it hwrts, Wavvy, help!" the tiny redhead shouted.
"You reap what you sow Naru, this is a life lesson." Ravel stated with a smirk and continued reading.
Traitor! Lunaru shouted in her mind.
"You will never do this again." Rachel stated coolly as she pulled the cheeks more, getting a whimper and a nod, "Good." She said as she let go of the now red cheeks.
"Owie." Lunaru said with tears prickling her eyes.
"Now, I am returning to my castle, only call me if the world is about to end." The petite vampire said in a chilled tone to show how upset she was. She grabbed Nago and strutted off.
"Bye Gremory princess!" Nago said cheerfully.
"Bye Lady Naru!" Gii said
"Quiet!"
"Yes princess." They both said towards Rachel's command.
"Now, how to exact my revenge on that blasted hound." The vampiric blonde mused aloud as she left.
Issei stuck his head in the room and seemed to be holding his chest a bit. Rachel must have pushed him out of the way… hard.
"A spirited one, isn't she?" Rias asked with a quirked lip.
Lunaru giggled, "She is. You should see her and Ravvy go at it, it's funny."
Ravel gave a hrmph at that as she closed her books, finishing her homework.
Now it was the task of getting Lunaru to do hers.
"Now," Rias said in a chipper tone as she clasped her hands, "I wanted to bring something up, the up and coming Ball Tournament. Overall, it is an event where we play ball-related sports, such as baseball, soccer, basketball, and tennis. The matches include contests between classes, genders and obviously, there are also some between clubs." She said with a smile, "Since with the addition of your Peerage my darling little sister, our numbers are bolstered to the point we won't have to worry about reserves!" she said in glee.
Lunaru made a fart noise with her tongue, "No way, sounds like too much work." The tiny smaller redhead said in a lazy tone as she slouched into her comfy chair, "I could be training or napping." She argued plainly, "Besides, the ORC isn't even a sports club."
Ria's smile just grew, "Whether or not you belong to a sports club, it's club mandatory; naturally, that includes the Occult Research Club."
"Well, my Peerage doesn't have to get involved! I only joined your club so I didn't have to make my own because dealing with the hassle of running it sounded annoying. It's much better to use you for that."
"Ara ara, if you want to achieve that dream of yours, you are going to have to do stuff such as that." Akeno pointed out with a smile.
Rias stood as she walked behind her sister and hugged her around her neck, "Please? Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please." The older sister begged annoyingly in a playful tone.
"No!"
"Hm, then how about I get you those cookies you like," the club president said in a sing-song tone.
"… Which ones?"
"You still go crazy over double peanut butter cookies, right?"
"… I curse you for knowing my love of pastries." Lunaru mumbled into her sister's arms with a pretty pout adoring her features.
Rias gave a giggle along with Akeno, it was so easy at times to do these things to her sister, but it just made her all the cuter! She thought while tightening her hug, "Thank you!"
"Tte, you are such a glutton." Ravel grumbled while shaking her head.
"Uu Ravvy's on a mean streak today."
"I am not!"
"Are too," Lunaru counted as they started an "Am not, are too" contest as Rias let go and went back to her seat.
"Uh, Buchou, is your sister always like this?" Issei asked in a whisper. Of course it was moe and such, but was it really going to be like this?
Rias giggled into the back of her hand as Ravel started to pinch Lunaru's cheeks, "Yes, they may argue, but those two are the best of friends, just like Akeno and I." She said as she shot her Queen a glance and saw her giggling at the first years arguing.
After her cheeks were freed, the young King rubbed them a bit as she turned to her sister, "Fine, but! Gawain and Kiba are to be apart for now." She stated
Rias gave her a solid nod, "That can be done. We'll be starting practice tomorrow."
"Nee-chan, when can I fight him?" Lunaru said as she pointed at Issei.
"Eh?"
Rias sighed, "Naru, I understand you're eager to fight the Sekiryuutei, but Ise still has training to do if you want to fight him. You want him at his best right?" the older sister asked, hoping this would deter her sister.
"So? He beat that baka Riser; I could use a decent fight. Sparring with Ravvy is great and all, but we know each other's moves inside and out, so only our planning makes the difference now since we train at the same level." The young King said with a pout as Ravel nodded.
The blonde was good at planning ahead, but Lunaru had an amazing knack for on the fly planning… Ravel had been on the end of those many times, that was for certain.
"Fighting a Longinus user, now that sounds like a major challenge!"
"No Naru, I'm sorry."
The smaller redhead pouted and stood up and left in a bit of a childish tantrum, stomping to the door and slamming it on her exit.
The Phenex rubbed the bridge of her nose, "My apologies Rias-san, she was just very excited at the discovery of the Sekiryuutei and, like always, wanted to face a challenge."
That and she wanted to no doubt compare the new Pawn to his rival.
Ravel turned and grabbed her stuff as she hurried after her friend.
"Um, Buchou, what was that about?" he asked with a few pieces of sweat on his forehead, he did not want to fight the tiny king. Not only because she was Buchou's younger sister, but the way she said that he could be a decent fight for her… that sounded kinda scary.
"Ise, as you can see, my little sister has a 'spark' for fighting. As I told you, I take pride in my house's name, but Naru, she could care less about names and such. She only sees our family as that, just a family, not a great clan, not the family that has a son of the title of Lucifer, just a family. She just does her own thing, at her own pace. If you tell her to do something, she tends to rebel against it." Rias said with a sigh, "She has always found fights exciting, to prove her strength, the thrill of battling someone strong. The Sekiryuutei is a title of many strong warriors of the past; you carry it now, so she wants her shot at you." She explained in a soft tone.
"So, can it really be as bad as you think if we did fight?" Issei asked curiously.
Rias was quiet for a beat and then nodded, "Yes, because if it is anything to go by, Naru is a strong devil, even for her age. I would say that I would have problems facing her head on in a straight up fight." She begrudgingly admitted; it was kind of embarrassing saying that your little sister could beat you up. But Lunaru just had this natural talent in combat from the start of it all.
Issei nodded, wondering what a fight between the Gremory sisters would be like.
