"Do you hear that little girl. It's either die here or go with the devils.
I'm a kind man so I'll let you choose. Do you want to go with them? But remember that if you do, you can never return here"
The little girl nodded her head vigorously.
"I forgot to mention, she's a half human half fallen angel. Still want her?" he ask smirking a bit.

"We do, it doesn't matter what she is. " Rias immediately replied.
The clan members were surprised by the immediately answer especially Suou who was sure they would decline.
But no one was more surprised than the little girl herself.
"We accept,always remember never return to our territory" he said and the girl again nods. "Good, now take her away before I change my mind" Suou said tossing the girl towards Heinrich who gently caught her.
They immediately flew away.
"So she passed out, she must be really tired"
"Indeed, I suggest we return to the underworld milady"
"I agree, she going to need all the care in the world"
"Let's go"
. .
.
'Where am I' she thought as she slowly opens her eyes to see that she was sleeping in a very unfamiliar room.
As she slowly sat up she heard a voice.
"I see you're finally awake"
She whipped her head quickly towards the voice and saw the same crimson haired girl that saved her.
"My name is Rias Gremory and if you are wondering where you are,you are currently in our guest room"
"Akeno, Akeno Himejima is my name"
It was at that moment Rias did a double take.
Her own family members were trying to kill her just because she's part fallen angel? Make no mistake Rias knows the cruelty of the world, but this was the first time she saw just how bad it really gets.
"Why?"
"Huh?" Rias was confused by the question.
"Why go out of your way to save someone like me? Aren't fallen angels supposed to be the enemy of devils like you?" confusing and worry laced in her voice.
"Do you really need a reason to save someone. Especially one that saved one of ours"
"Oh. .
. "
"Not quite how you expect a devil to act? Rias asked and chuckled a little.
Akeno nodded dumbly.
"I don't blame you, anyway, you've slept for two days straight, how are you feeling?"
Akeno was going to say she was fine until her stomach decided to betray her.
Whale noises~
"Oh, I guess that answer my question" Rias said trying to hold back her laugh.
[A/N: is it just me or do your stomach make whale noises during exams and only during exams?!"]
Akeno was too embarrassed to even look up.
"Food will be here in a few minutes, why don't you tell me about yourself"
"Umm, as I've mentioned before my name is Akeno Himejima and I'm 11 years old and I'm half human, half fallen angel. " The slight edge and loathing in her voice when she said the last part wasn't lost to Rias but she decided not to comment on it.
"And I've been travelling around purifying evil spirits since I was 9"
Rias was waiting if she was continuing but after a few seconds of silence, she knew this was the best she's getting out of her for now and she was not pushing her for answers.
"The food will be here soon, the bathroom is beyond that door over there, toilet is over there. There also a few of my clothes in the basket over there if you need to change, we're very similar in size, I hope you don't mind.
Rest well, we'll talk when you're ready. " Rias said with a soft smile and left the room.
.
Soon a maid arrive with the food.
Akeno didn't know what to think as she slowly ate the food.
She never expected, out of all the things that could happen to her, she would be saved by devils, even after knowing her heritage.
She felt nice, comfy and even safe for reason she did not quite understand.
Was this how she could have felt if she had went with her father that day, she didn't know and would never know.
Her grief and hatred for her half angel side runs too deep to accept the help from them, even if it was her own father.
She hated her father, or at least that's what she herself wants to believe in cause deep down she knew she didn't, but she just can't accept that. She shouldn't put the blame on him but she knew he could have done so much more to protect his family when he clearly knew just how much the other member of the clan despises them.
.
She knew she was being unfair, she knew she wasn't the only one that lost someone precious that day, but at the end of the day, she couldn't help it. Being a fallen angel was the reason her mother died after all.
Unknowingly tears started to fall as she began to slowly break down, having to constantly work to survive had made her forget just how much her life she missed her mother and that she hadn't had enough time to grief over her death and being suddenly given even a bit of comfort and support made her realize that and so she cried and she cried hard. She was finally able to vent.
Her sadness, her frustration over her own father, her anger towards the Himejima clan and her own guilt all suddenly crashing down on her as she finally broke down and she cried and wailed for the first time since she lost her mother and soon she cried herself to sleep.
Also, peerage update, some of y'all really don't want Jeanne as a Knight and I can understand that. But I am still making her one.
She's weak in the anime and LN, doesn't mean I can't make her stronger, it's a fanfic after all.

Ok, I was rethinking a bit and thought why Mittelt? And then I realized, I only put her so Raynare can have a companion and I absolutely didn't have any future plans for her so, she's out and Raynare is now worth 2 again and that will be final.
