My poor attempt at a different take on DxD.
Comments and criticism more than welcome, and needed in my opinion.
Last time
“To make sure that no one is following us. We can be sure that magically that no one is on our tail. But by doing this, we will confuse the shit out of anyone trying to follow us”.
Just as she finished explaining her reasons Room Service arrived with their dinner.
Hearing the chime at the door she dove forwards calling out “FOOD!”.

Standing in front of the bathroom impatiently, tapping her foot on the floor Bennia called out “Come on Issei, If you don’t hurry we’re going to be late and miss the train”.
“Sorry, but I can’t help it.”
“I told you not to order the Seafood Pizza, but Nooo, you wouldn’t listen would you?”.
“But your Capricciosa looked so good, and I was still hungry, how could I have known?”.
“Idiot, we are miles from a large body of water, let alone an ocean. How long do you think that seafood has been around for?”.
Flushing the toilet and, walking out of the bathroom holding his stomach Issei moaned “Don’t remind me!, Can you do anything to help?”.
Holding her nose due to the smell she replied “Wad?, Do I looded Lide a med reader?”.

Making her way to the conference room Serafall looked at her companion. “You didn't have to come as well Sirzechs, Pluto is going to have a heart attack seeing you”.
Grunting to himself Sirzechs responded “You read that cock and bull story as well Serafall. They tried to play a game, and the rug got pulled out from under their feet. I'm going to take great delight in seeing that ass kisser sweat. As we discussed, we are not going to let this slide, either way the sanctions will come into effect immediately. They know that we know that they tried something. So there has to be some form of official redress. But I am going to privately pass along a message to Hades. Something along the the lines of ‘Don't fuck with us again’”.
Serafall paused as she was about to open the door to the conference room. She looked at Sirzechs’ expression and grinned ferally. “Oh yes that will do nicely”. Smoothing her expression into one of political diplomacy, she opened the door with a bang and entered.

Sitting at the long table Pluto shuffled through the paperwork in nervous anticipation. Hades had flown into a rage, when he found out that Red Dragon Emperor host had fled. Orcus was still being held in Cocytus over what had happened, allegedly being questioned, Pluto knew that there were very few questions being asked. Having to cut their losses and try and salvage a diplomatic resolution with the Devils, they had concocted a story about what had happened. He only hoped that Serafall believed what was now the official story. Hearing the door open with a bang, he looked up and broke into a nervous sweat, Serafall wasn't alone. ‘Oh shit Sirzechs came as well’ he thought. Watching the two of them take seats opposite him he took a sip of water to moisten his suddenly dry throat and collect his thoughts . Placing the glass back down he coughed slightly and began his spiel.
“Kalimere Serafall,Thank you for coming today, and Maou Sirzechs, I am pleased to see that you also have taken time to come here today as well, your presence here honors us”.
Both Serafall and Sirzechs nodded at the greeting. Having made arrangements prior to coming, Serafall took the lead in dealing with Pluto. “Thank you for contacting us Lord Pluto, how may we be of service to you today?”
“It is with some regret, that we have to inform you of one of our Reapers has gone rogue”.
“Tisk, Tisk”, Serafall clicked with her tongue shaking her head sadly, “Oh my that is a shame, It's regrettable that one has left your flock”. Shrugging her shoulders she continued blandly “But hardly worthy of our attention. Surely just a bulletin would suffice in this matter, so that we know that their actions are unsanctioned”.
“Normally that would suffice, but this situation is slightly different. The reaper in question goes by the name of Bennia”.
Thinking out loud Serafall murmured “Bennia, Bennia, where have I heard that name before”. Pulling a notebook out of her pocket she thumbed through some dog eared pages, stopping on one page in particular, Snapping her fingers she added “Oh that's right!, that is the name of the reaper who mistakenly broke the five minute rule over the Red Dragon Emperor”.
Swallowing nervously Pluto added “That is correct”.
Joining in the conversation for the first time Sirzechs added “I still don’t see how this is of any concern to us Lord Pluto”.
Looking over at Sirzechs Pluto continued “In accordance with your request in regards to the Red Dragon Emperor, Our special projects team had difficulties extracting the host from the Second ring, Bennia was brought in to help as she was the one who reaped his soul”.
“With Bennia’s assistance they managed to recover the host from the Second ring. She was put in charge of making sure that the reintegration of the host's soul and body went smoothly. At some stage after reintegration, they murdered the treating physician and went rogue”.
Shaking her head sadly Serafall “Oh dear what a nasty mess. How did they manage to kill the treating physician?”
Deciding to throw them some information Pluto continued “We don't know how she did it. What you don't know is that Bennia was a special duties operative during the war. An exploding Gerbil in a secure lab would not be beyond her capabilities”.
Nodding sagely Sirzechs interjected crossing his arms “Ahh yes, the exploding Gerbil. I assume there wasn’t much left of the lower torso?”
“No not much at all”.
Coughing loudly Serafall tried to get the conversation back on track “So what you are telling us, is that this Bennia decided to go rogue and took the Red Dragon Emperor and host with her. Correct?”
Looking at his notes Pluto agreed “Correct”.
At this Sirzechs sat back in his chair seemingly thinking about what was said. Eventually he exclaimed “Bullshit!”
Pluto’s jaw dropped at the statement, gathering up his thoughts at this blatant disregard of diplomatic nicety he stated “Excuse me Maou Sirzechs, I'm not sure I heard you correctly?”
Dropping all pretense at being diplomatic, Sirzechs reaffirmed his statement “I said, Bullshit! Pluto”.
Serafall taking her cue from Sirzechs continued “Eight weeks ago, Bennia reaped the soul of one Hyoudou Issei, three weeks ago you and I had our first meeting over this matter, two weeks ago we issued a demand for Bennia as well as Hyoudou Issei, last week your specialists told me that you were having trouble removing him from the second ring, and now you tell us that not only has he been reintegrated to his body, but managed to subvert one of your special duties operatives and escape from your domain?”. Standing up she threw her notebook onto the table with all the relevant dates highlighted, she finished with “What a load of crap”.
Standing up as well Sirzechs snapped at Pluto “We find your attempts at subverting the treaty between us to be deplorable. At this point in time we will be suspending all ties between our realms, and all access through our portals to the human realm as well. Until such time as proper redress has been made”. Leaning over the table he snarled “By the way you can pass a personal message from me to Hades as well, tell him that I said ‘Fuck You’”. With that the two of the stormed out.
