stonished "You mean she's been waiting for me for 20 years!" That was...definitely something he didn't expect. He figured she would have moved on with her life.

Luna just smiled dreamily at Jake. "Of course she waited, Jake, after all, you're worth it." Luna, who was still leaning in close to him, did something that shocked Jake.

She kissed him on the cheek! "And she's not the only one who's been waiting all this time." Luna laughed, at his shocked look, before she turned around and sashayed out of his bedroom. Her hips swaying in a way that Jake couldn't help but stare.

"Wow..." Jake spoke to himself as he watched her go. "She's definitely changed a bit over these years.

She's a lot bolder now...and hotter." He also had to give her props for that dramatic and sultry exit. Jake wondered jokingly if she'd secretly practiced that for the day he'd return.

...Little did he know that Luna had in fact practiced that dramatic exit...many times.

Knock Knock

A bit later, Jake's new sister Rias popped her head into his new room after knocking. "Jake, good, you're done bathing," she said as she came into the room, not waiting for an invitation. Rias looked him up and down.

"You've cleaned up well," she said. As expected of her new adorable little brother!

"Hi Rias," Jake said, "did you need something?"

"Yes," she said with an enthusiastic nod. "I want you to meet my peerage!" She exclaimed cheerfully. "You already sort-of met my queen Akeno, but now you have to meet everyone else!"

Jake figured he had nothing else to do and he'd like to get to know his sister's peerage. Maybe it would give him some ideas for his own future members.

He followed her down the incredibly long Gremory mansion twisting hallways for over 5 minutes as they headed towards her wing.

Yes, her wing. Instead of having her own bedroom, she had her own entire section of the mansion where apparently she and her peerage all had their own rooms! Jake also apparently had the same, except it was just him and Luna staying there currently.

"...And this is MY bedroom," Rias said dramatically as they finally reached her door and she threw it open! She charged right in excitedly, and Jake followed behind her.

"I'm back everyone, and I've brought my adorable little brother who's been missing for a while!" She exclaimed to the people in the room.

Jake looked around the room and was pretty shocked. "Rias...the first step is admitting you have a problem," He stated plainly. Her peerage members giggled at his comment while Rias herself just pouted at him.

"It's not that bad..." she trailed off.

Yes, it was that bad. Absolutely every spec of wall space in the entire room was covered in an anime poster of some kind...and it was a big bedroom. Jake figured this single room was bigger than most people's houses...

What's more, scattered variously throughout the room laying upon tables and floors was anime paraphernalia of all kinds. Games, figurines, cosplay outfits...they were scattered everywhere. The place was a complete mess...

"Ara, he's got you there, Rias." Jake recognized his sister's queen Akeno speaking. She was standing over one of the few tables not covered in junk making some tea.

"Not this again, Akeno," Rias said. "I already told you I don't need the maids cleaning this place up. I already perfectly know where everything is!" Jake doubted that statement sincerely as he crossed the room and did his best not to step on the half a dozen anime figurines just laying on the floor in his path.

Jake made it to the side of her bedroom where her peerage was sitting on a couch, smiling at him and Rias while eating some snacks.

"Hello, it's nice to meet you all," Jake introduced himself to them. There was a blond guy who looked about his age, a younger girl with white hair, and of course, Rias's queen, Akeno, who smiled at Jake while pouring him a cup of tea.

Tea wasn't really his thing, but he wasn't going to be rude and refuse.

The blond boy spoke first, elegantly. "Hello to you as well, Jake. I am Lady Rias's knight, Kiba."

The white-haired girl answered in between bites of her cookie. "I am Koneko," she said curtly.

Jake turned to Akeno, waiting for her to introduce herself. "Ara," she said, "I suppose it's my turn then. Nice to meet you, Jake, I am Akeno, the queen of Lady Rias."

"And my best friend," Rias added enthusiastically from the side.

Jake smiled at that. "Once again, it's nice to meet you all. Thanks for looking after my sister."

"Wait!" Rias exclaimed, "you forgot about Gasper!"

"Who?" Jake asked, looking around. He didn't see anyone else.

Rias just giggled and pointed to a box sitting next to the couch. "He's right there...in the box," she trailed off that last part with a sigh.

"Oh," Jake said before turning to address the...box. "Hello there, Gasper. Are you alright in there?"

"..."

There were a couple more seconds of awkward silence before a young sounding voice came from within the box. "I'm okay... it's just meeting new people is... scary."

"Gasper is a scaredy-cat," Koneko said bluntly while eating what appeared to be her fifth cookie since Jake sat down. Kiba just let out a wry smile at the comment while Akeno giggled into her hand. Jake had heard of shy kids before, but this seemed to be on a different level...

"It's okay," Rias said. "We're working on it. Under big sister Luna's advice, he's been attending therapy for a while now and he's actually spending more time out of his box than in them nowadays..." she said as if that was a perfectly normal thing to say. Jake just shrugged. It wasn't his problem anyway.

"Anyway, now that you're here, Jake," Rias started, "I was wondering if-"
