Chapter 4: Chapter 4
"Rias-san, why Akeno-san isn't with us?" Asked Asia walking behind Rias and Sona. Both heiresses, along with their peerage members, were heading towards Rias's office where they would wait for the bodyguard Sirzechs sent.
"By the way, is it true about that new teacher? The rumors about his relationship with Akeno-san spread quite fast." Said Kiba with a curious expression .
"Yeah! I heard about it too! That can't be true, Akeno-san wouldn't have a relationship with someone like him! Who is he anyway? All girls are talking only about him... It's pissing me off..." Issei complained with a dissatisfied expression, but he mumbled the last part of his sentence. Everyone heard him though.
Rias shook her head and sighed helplessly at Issei's words. 'Someone like him? Do you even know him?'. "She said she will explain everything to us so let's don't make any assumptions."
"That's true, we should focus on facts. I have more or less a picture of what's going on." Said Sona as she wiped her glasses with a handkerchief.
"Hmmm." Hummed Rias, lost in thoughts. Soon the group arrived in front of the doors leading to Rias's office. Just as she was about to put her hand on the handle, the group heard something on the other side of the doors. Loud noises were coming from inside the office, as well as two voices talking.
Rias looked behind her to see if others heard that as well. Seeing concerned looks of others, she nodded and prepared to defend herself if necessary. Kiba summoned a sword and Koneko her MMA-like gloves, both instantly rushed inside. Rias and others followed soon after.
Looking around they didn't notice any invaders at first, but the room was in the mess. Rias's eyes widen at the sight. The coffee table was upside down and tossed in the corner, one of the sofas was kicked aside, there were several black spots that were identified as a burn marks on the walls, floor and even ceiling. But what caught everyone's attention were two people in the place where the coffee table stood previously.
The group was shocked when they saw Akeno sitting on top of the unknown, to some of them, man. She was huffing with red face, her clothes were in total mess as well as her hair. She was pinning him down by sitting on Michikatsu's stomach and holding his wrists above his head. From time to time a yellow lightning came out of her hands making Michikatsu's palm clenched in fists. Akeno was leaning close towards his face.
Seeing their position everyone blushed, except Kiba who smiled wryly, even Koneko and Sona had subtle traces of redness on their cheeks. Asia had it the worst, here face along with her neck and ears were crimson red. She was trying to say something but only stuttered in the end. Issei on the other hand almost had a nosebleed seeing Akeno looking like that, but there was also visible jealousy in his eyes.
"Akeno, calm down! What are you even doing?! Calm down, please, and let me go-" Michikatsu said but was interrupted by Akeno.
"No! Shut up! I'll let you go and what? You will disappear again! You know how me and my mother felt when you suddenly disappeared back then?! Not a single thing. Not a single word, not a single message, nothing!" Stunning everyone by her sudden outburst, everyone was silent, solely focusing on what she was saying. It was completely out of Akeno's character, hence everyone's reaction.
Suddenly, her eyes started to moisten up. "When we heard what happened to your family we didn't know what to do, what to think... For a few years I thought you were dead... Y-you didn't even contact me once for almost fourteen years... And when you finally showed up, you pretend that everything is okay, you even ran away from me earlier!"
Michikatsu didn't say anything, he couldn't find a word. He was staring at Akeno's violet eyes that were staring back at him. When he finally opened his mouth, what came out was mere "... I'm sorry... " His expression was filled with guilt.
Hearing that, Akeno slowly let go of his hands and rested her head on his chest, grabbing him by his collar. Taking a deep breath he put his right hand on her back, caressing it slowly. "... I still didn forgive you... You will explain everything to me later...." Her quiet voice traveled to his ears.
"I know, I know." Responded Michikatsu. "But... Em, you know. Can you get up for now, please? Everyone is watching. It's kinda embarrassing..." His face reddened slightly.
"Ahem!" Rias fake coughed to gain their attention. "Akeno, can you tell me what is going on? And can you please get off of our TEACHER?" She was smiling wryly and put strong emphasis on her last word.
Akeno snapped back and looked at the arrived group, a surprise flashed through her face. "Oh my! I'm sorry, President, I didn't notice you. Ah, I will prepare some tea first." She smiled elegantly like nothing ever happened.
"But can you get up first?" Responded Rias looking between Akeno and Michikatsu.
"Hmm? Ah, of course!" She got up and bowed gracefully toward the group. "I'm sorry for my behavior, I showed you something unsightly. For that I apologize." She then left to the side of the room where the trolley with tea service was and, well, she started brewing tea. Like nothing happened.
Michikatsu sighed and stood up energetically, he started to fix his clothes. "Umm, Welcome everyone. I will explain everything to you but first let me fix this mess a little." He went toward the coffee table and brought it back on it's place. He noticed a blonde haired young man who was also placing a sofa where it should be. "Thank you." Said Michikatsu.
"No problem. Here, I believe it's yours." Said Kiba and handed him back his holster.
"Ah, that's right. Thanks once again." Michikatsu bowed his head in thanks.
"Ahem! Can you explain everything to me now?" Said irritated Rias. Seeing Akeno calmly brewing a tea and her new Japanese teacher chatting with Kiba while calmly fixing furniture she felt like they ignored her completely.
"Yes. Well, it was nothing serious...." Michikatsu started explaining the whole situation.

"...and that's it. I once again apologize for intruding your place and for a mess I- WE created." He corrected himself after glancing at Akeno. She was sitting on the sofa with Rias on her left and Asia on her right. The blonde haired girl calmed down and was fixing Akeno's hair with a hair brush.
" So, summarizing everything. You came here to speak with me, but no one was inside, so knowing that I had lessons you decided to wait here till I arrived and without anything to do you decided to sleep but then Akeno came and assaulted you. Is that correct?" Asked Rias with raised eyebrow.
Michikatsu nodded. Rias looked at Akeno to see if she had something to say, but she, as always, was smiling with closed eyes.
"Then, I believe you are the said bodyguard who was supposed to arrive today, aren't you? The one who Lucifer-sama sent." Inquired Sona while sipping a tea.
Hearing her words Michikatsu stood up from his chair and bowed slightly. "Your assumptions are on spot. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Michikatsu Kamado, I was asked to ensure the safety of Rias Gremory. It's nice to meet you all." Rias frowned at his statement.
"I believe your real name is Sona Sitri, the heiress of the Sitri Family. Sera told me a little about you.'' Michikatsu with a smile.
"Do you know my sister?" Asked surprised Sona.
"Haha, I do, for several years. Formal at first but quite lively when she opened up a little, haha." He laughed and scratched his cheek.
'Sister....' "*Sigh* I'm really sorry for all the trouble my sister had caused you." Sona apologized with a helpless sigh.
"You don't have to, actually I like the way she is." He smiled warmly when he remembered his time with that cheerful girl.
"Anyway, back to the topic. I'm sorry but I didn't request you, nor I need your assistance or presence. It would be the best for both of us if you would go back from where you came. Besides, you're just a human." Said Rias in a proud and slightly mocking manner.
"Rias you don't know-" Akeno wanted to say something but was cut off by Issei.
"Yeah, that's true! We're all Devils while you are just a human. Besides, how can you protect us when Akeno-san alone took you down a moment ago?" Issei didn't know what, but something was telling him that this guy will be a danger to him, in many ways.
Seeing that Michikatsu widened his eyes, both Issei and Rias smirked in victory. "Kid... Everything okay with your head? Of course I didn't fight with Akeno, why should I? What I was supposed to do? Punch or kick her? I would rather rott right here than harm her." Michikatsu said in a serious tone, looking weirdly at Issei. Akeno covered her mouth with her hand to hide her smile.
"Besides while we are at this, let's make a few things clear. First, you have no saying in it, I didn't make a deal with you, but with that idiot brother of yours. Second, all I will do is just to make sure that you are unscathed if something happens. Only you." He glanced at Issei to show that he is not included. "Well, with few exceptions." His eyes landed at Akeno and Sona. "Third. I'm not your dog nor your errand boy so forget about bossing around. You have a problem with it, go and complain to Sirzechs." Said sternly Michikatsu.
Silent. Whole room was silent, with the ticking of the clock being the only source of sound. Rias opened her eyes wide, her lips parted slightly. She didn't expect something like that, she was stunned. She was so angry that she started to stutter. "Y-you dare to-"
"I do." Said Michikatsu calmly. "I would appreciate it if you would still cooperate with me. This will make it easier for both of us. Now, if you excuse me, I have to stop by the principal's office to sign a few things." He stood up and took his belongings, including his now fully charged phone. Before he left he nodded towards Sona and Rias.
Few moments after he left, most of them finally comprehend what happened. Rias groaned in anger, while Akeno smiled bitterly at her childhood friend's behavior.
"That bastard! Who the hell does he think he is?! I'm going to beat him up next time! " Shouted Issei aloud. He was pissed off, it was the first time he saw someone treat his President that way.
[Calm down, partner. The feeling he gave... You wouldn't stand a chance against him, no one in this room would... nor you all combined.]
"Huh? What the hell do you mean?" Issei looked down at his sacred gear.
[You will see for yourself. Try not to become my host with the shortest cadency in history.]
While Sona was lost in her own thoughts. 'Michikatsu Kamado... What an intriguing person. But he also seems quite problematic. Haaah, I know I will regret it, but I will ask Serafall about him.'
Ignoring the conversation between Ddraig and Issei, Rias turned towards Akeno. "Explain everything to me. Now. Who is he?"
"We have known each other since childhood. Although what he said could sound impolite, he just said what he thought. He was always like that, ever since we were little." She smiled bitterly.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
Ice_Pillar
Ice_Pillar Hope you liked the chap. Also sorry for the delay, I have renovation in house so I'm quite busy.
I don't plan to write any flashbacks as I think of them as annoying. Also don't accuse MC of simping over Akeno, who normal would hurt his childhood friend and a girl on top of that.
And yeah, as you had probably guessed, Akeno is the one of the four girls (or maybe the only one?), I won't change my mind, I just like her character too much. I hope you can bear with it.
Should I update MHA fic?
