Playing With Other Supernaturals

Volume 3 Chapter 121 - Another Bet

"Honestly speaking, Koneko's condition when we first got her is… how do you say this… almost dead?"

"What!?" Rias stood up from her seat and exclaimed, "How is she now!? I want to see her! Please lead me to her!"

When Rias suddenly stood up, Kisuke couldn't help but stare at her bouncing bosom. Rias and Akeno didn't notice his gaze as they're too worried and their thoughts are filled about Koneko to think about something else.

'This bastard.' But it didn't escape Yoruichi's and Sona's notice. Sona gave him a mean look while Yoruichi became physical, clawing his chin.

"Oww… Calm down you two. I still haven't explained everything. And Yoruichi, I still don't have a beard for you to shave…" Kisuke took back his gaze and nursed his chin.

"Maybe there are already some under your skin, after all, you're too thick-skinned." Yoruichi retorted.

Kisuke didn't reply back and just ruffled her head, earning him claw swipes. But he's already using Hierro so it had no effects which annoyed Yoruichi more and started wrestling with his hand, biting and clawing it.

Rias wanted to say more when he started playing with his cat but Sona stopped him, "Sit down, for now, Rias. If he can still play around like this, then the situation probably isn't so bad." She placed down her cup of tea.

Seeing that they are already ready to listen, Kisuke continued, albeit, still wrestling with Yoruichi, "Her injuries outside aren't good, but it's still easy to heal those. The problem is her internal injuries and her low vitality which prevents her from healing naturally even with her Devil's physique." Kisuke stops for a moment and picked up his tea with his other hand and drunk it, 'Though it's that Devil's physique that's preventing her from healing faster. Even though she has the traits of nekomata, she's still a Devil inside. I should think of a way to remove this Evil Pieces safely and give Koneko an option, though she probably won't accept it.'

"Then what happened to her now? Why didn't you tell me? I could have sent Asia to her. You might not know, but her healing capabilities are topnotch." Rias asks calmly but she's still barraging him with questions.

"Asia-chan is indeed a good healer and still has a lot of potentials, but she won't be able to help Koneko much because her circumstances are a bit special."

"Special? How?"

"Koneko is rejecting anything magic-based, as for why is that, I won't go into detail. But you don't have to worry. Her external injuries are already fully healed. Although her internal injuries are still a problem, it won't hurt her anymore. She can still do activities as your Rook but any Senjutsu-based techniques are out of question… Well, she can still technically use them, but it'll worsen her condition so I'm banning her to use it until she's fully healed."

Rias and Akeno heave a large sigh of relief, "I'll also ban her from using it… Thank goodness." Rias picked up her cup again and sipped it.

From behind her, Akeno voiced out her thoughts, "Can we see her?"

"You ca-…" Kisuke agreed, but he suddenly stopped speaking and another nasty smile appeared on his face. Yoruichi stopped 'playing' with Kisuke's hand and sat straight up.

Sona, Tsubaki, and Akeno are very familiar with that smile of Kisuke as they are already victims of it.

"What's wrong? Why did you st--ummp!" Rias is confused at his sudden change and asks but she was stopped by Akeno who is behind her by blocking her mouth.

"Stop it, Rias! You shouldn't agitate him if he has that kind of smile if you don't want to regret it!" Akeno gave her a stern warning, not as her servant, but as her best friend who only wants the best for her.

Seeing at the three's reaction, Kisuke's mouth twitches, "Is this my fault?"

"Obviously." Yoruichi agreed.

"Even if that's the case, they're too honest… and rude."

"They couldn't care less about your face anymore after all the pranks you've done to them. Stop minding them and decide what do you want to do with 'that'."

"Hmm… Did you already get a get well gift for Koneko?"

"No, I haven't… You want 'that' as her present?"

"Nothing more suitable, right?"

"Well, you're right. She'll probably be happy with it too."

"Hey, what are the two of you talking about? Are you planning something dubious again?" Sona narrowed her eyes as she questions the couple.

They look at Sona, then to each other and back to Sona again, "Is gifting a cat with another cat dubious?"

"What are you…" Sona's eyes widened and both Rias and Akeno are also confused.

Yoruichi jumped down from his lap and Kisuke stood up, "Yosh, you want to see Koneko, right? We're going now. But first, do you have a gift for Koneko?" Kisuke faced Rias as he asks this question.

"A gift? Why?" Rias asks curiously, "Yes…" She, however, still answered him.

"Want to make a bet? Whichever gift Koneko-chan likes the most wins. As for the stakes, if I lose, I would teach Yuuto Kiba and Issei-kun magic-based Flash Step." Kisuke grinned.

"What!?" Rias and Akeno exclaimed. His stakes for the bet is really attractive for them, including Sona. Rias stopped clamoring and asks, "What if I lose?"

"Let's see… How about Himejima-senpai here become a maid here for a week or two? And Gremory House will cover for my mother in case something happens."

Sakura opened her eyes wide at Kisuke's condition, 'So he has already some clues…'

"What!?" Akeno, of course, reacted at his words, "Why me!?"

"Well, you're the maid! By the way, you have to wear a uniform of my choosing~."

"I'm not a maid!"

"If you're not confident, then it's just fine to reject it. I wouldn't insist on either." Kisuke shrugged his shoulders.

Akeno wanted to say more, but Rias signaled her to stop, "We accept."

"What!? Rias?"

"His skill is really attractive and if he can teach Yuuto and Issei a magic-based agility skill, then it'll promote our strength considerably. And besides, he's overestimating himself. We knew Koneko since our childhood and we know what makes her happy the most." Rias is feeling confident at this bet and thought that it's an easy win. She winked at Akeno, reassuring her and she could only sigh, 'I really have a bad feeling. I hope I don't have to become a maid for him. He's too annoying to serve!'

Sona, however, thought otherwise. She already learned her lesson not to accompany Kisuke in any bets if he's on the opposing side, no matter how confident you are with your chances of winning. Especially when he makes that nasty grin of his. Sona wanted to warn Rias against it, but after thinking all of her sufferings, it's not so bad to share it with others. And besides, Kisuke's real intention might be for the protection of her mother and he's only using Akeno to mask his real intentions. Rias probably thought that Sakura is just an ordinary human and didn't mind arranging her safety, 'I should also prepare to help arrange a few things for Sakura-san in case some things go wrong.'

"Yosh~. Let's seal the bet with a contract!" Kisuke forced the conversation to move forward before they could change their minds.

After sealing it with a contract, Kisuke suddenly took out a rope and Yoruichi took out a red ribbon. The five others looked at them confused, and just as Sona was about to asks what are those ropes and ribbon are for, a black figure suddenly appeared behind Kisuke and swiped his arm towards him. Kisuke disappeared and shocked the black figure, but just as he's about to turn around and escape, his world view suddenly rotated and it dropped down to the ground… in a turtle shell bondage. Yoruichi approached the black figure and slap the red ribbon on his forehead using its paw.

"Yosh~. Gift acquired!" Kisuke dusted his hands and smiled in satisfaction.

"Should we go with a blue ribbon instead?" Yoruichi muttered as she stares at the ribbon she slaps.
