The difference being that both Grey and Ahri were currently naked in their bed with the sheets over them. Their clothes were spread across the floor.

The Nine-Tailed Vastayan was currently still sleeping with her head on the Abyss Watcher's chest while he had an arm around her.

Grey was awake but didn't do anything other than stare at Ahri's peacefully sleeping face. This was definitely a new experience for him.

He honestly didn't know if he deserved it, with all the blood on his hands. But, the woman in his arms is living proof that people can change and seek redemption. And, since she's happy, so he decided to not dwell on it.

Ahri herself started steering before slowly opening her eyes and looking at the Abyss Watcher. "Morning, lover," she said as she rubbed her head on his chest.

"Morning," Grey greeted as he pats her ears with his arm, making her purr slightly. "How are you?"

"After last night, absolutely happy," Ahri said resting her head on his chest again. "But, I'm still a little tired, so let's continue sleeping."

The Abyss Watcher rolled his eyes. "Come on, Ahri. We need to get up," he said trying to move.

Ahri, however, held him in his place. "No~, you owe me."

"Owe you what?" Grey asked confused.

"Lots of love," Ahri replied making him give her a deadpan look. "You've been holding back on telling me how you feel all this time, so you should make it up to me by letting me sleep as much as I want," she said before smiling teasingly. "Plus, I'm sure the others are going to find it weird how I started walking funny."

The Abyss Watcher blushed and looked away. He doubted that they were THAT rough. But, he wouldn't be surprised if Ahri started limping on purpose just to gloat about what happened.

"Fine," Grey sighed as he relaxed. "But we might be late for the others."

"We can just take a bath together," Ahri said thinking it would save time. Grey was going to say something, but Ahri beat him to speaking. "After what we did last night, do you really think a bath together is going to be a problem?" she asked with a deadpan look.

Knowing she was right, Grey just sighed. "Fine," he said resting his head back on the pillow and Ahri rested on his chest again. "I spoil you too much, you know that?"

"And I love you for it," Ahri said smirking deviously. "And the more I love you, the more you love me, and the more you love me, the more you spoil me. It's a never-ending cycle of love and spoiling."

Grey chuckled as he held her closer while she cuddled into his chest. Neither of them really cared about being late at this point.

Time skip: (Brought to you by chibi Ahri and chibi Grey drinking cups of warm milk together.)

Grey and Ahri got out of their room a couple of hours later than usual. Both of them walked into the dining hall with Silver on Grey's shoulder.

After picking their food, they walked to a couple of tables that had Aki, Brite, Lux, Garen, Katarina, Sona, Nidalee, and Solas sitting in them.

"What took you so long?" Brite asked as they two sat with them after giving Silver his own food.

"We were busy," Grey replied as he and Ahri sat down beside each other.

The Nine-Tailed Vastayan noticed that Nidalee looked tired with a little black around her eyes. "What's wrong, Nidalee. Didn't sleep well."

To Ahri's surprise, the Huntress glared at her and Grey. "I couldn't sleep at all," she growled.

"Well, why is that?" Ahri asked before taking a sip of water.

"Because a wolf and a fox were having mating season in their room last night," Nidalee's words made Ahri spit her drink and Grey to choke on his food a little.

Everyone looked at them with a mixture of surprise and shock with Tiara being more than the others.

Grey, after clearing his throat, scratched his head barely looking at Nidalee in the eye. "You… heard?"

The huntress just nodded and Ahri sighed saying, "We… should probably make the room soundproof."

"Uhmm, Ahri," Aki said with a blush on her cheeks. "The rooms ARE supposed to be soundproof."

"Well, it sure didn't sound like that," the Huntress added. Both Ahri and Grey just blushed looking everywhere but anyone's eyes as Nidalee crossed her arms glaring at them. "Soundproof or not, from what I was hearing, neither of you should have been able to get up this morning," she said making the two blush harder.

Tiara, after breaking out of her shock, immediately glared at Ahri. "Oh, that is it, fox," she said pulling out her blades.

"Tiara, don't you dare as much as touch her," Grey threatened stopping his sister.

"Or what?" Tiara asked still holding her blades.

"Or I'll tell everyone here what happens when you get drunk," her brother threatened.

Brite immediately had to put a hand over his mouth to stop his laughter remembering what happens while Tiara gasped. "You wouldn't."

"Try me," The Abyss Watcher challenged.

After having a staredown, Tiara put her blades away. "Fine," she grumbled sitting back down, but still glared at Ahri.

"Wow, congratulations," Katarina said looking at the new couple.

"Yeah, you guys are so good for each other," Lux added and her brother nodded in agreement.

Sona signed with her hands. [I'm so happy for you.] she signed much to Ahri's confusion.

The Maven then hugged the Abyss Watcher, apparently congratulating him on his new relationship.

However, when she looked at Ahri over his shoulder, Sona held a small note that said,

The Nine-Tailed Vastayan was honestly taken back by the note, along with the fact that no one seemed to notice it as Sona went back to her previous position after letting go of the Abyss Watcher.

"Anyway," Aki cleared her throat trying to change the subject while calming down her blush. "It's a good thing that you came back now, Grey. You have a match soon."

"I do?" the Abyss Watcher asked confused.

"Yes, you do," Nidalee confirmed with a deadpan look. "You didn't check the schedule, did you?"

"Come to think of it, I'm in that match, too," Garen noted scratching his chin.

The Abyss Watcher just looked away embarra.s.sed. Ahri then noticed something. "Wait, how do you know about the Match, Aki?" she asked.

"It's because of the new skin," Aki replied gaining confused looks. "Grey recently got a new skin that went super popular fast, so everyone is talking about the Match since it's about to be used in it."

"Is it really that popular?" Solas asked.

The Shy summoner nodded. "Yeah. In fact, it's almost more popular than all the Star Guardians skin."

"Okay, that is something I do not believe," Brite denied how the Abyss Watcher got a Skin that popular.

Lux nodded agreeing with the Silver Knight. "Yeah, nothing can beat us Star Guardians," she said.

"We're pretty much the best group," Ahri said before gaining a deadpan look. "Even if the Star Guardians describe me as a stuck up," she added remembering the Biography of the Star Guardians.

"You forgot to add 'b*tch' to that sentence," Tiara added still glaring at the Nine-Tailed Vastayan.

Ahri returned the glare while Grey sighed with a hand on his forehead. He thought of something to change the subject. "Can we see it?" he asked.

Aki nodded saying, "sure."

The Abyss Watcher stood up from his seat and took a few steps back from the table. Aki waved her hands and Grey was covered in light before his new appearance was revealed.

Grey was now wearing a dark green s.p.a.ce-military suit. It had a helmet with a gla.s.s visor that hid his face. The armor on the arms left his biceps visible. His knife was replaced by an army knife. His sword, however, couldn't be seen anywhere on him.

"It's called the Doom Slayer," Aki said as she finished the spell.

The Abyss Watcher looked at himself before looking at the others. "How do I look?" he asked.

"You look ready to rip someone apart," Katarina said and the others nodded.

"I like it," Tiara said looking over her brother's new form. "It has a 'don't mess with me' vibe."

Garen then stood up. "Well, the match should be starting soon, so I hope you put on a good fight, Grey," he said interested in fighting the Abyss Watcher.

"Oh, that reminds me," Ahri said as she looked at Grey. "Grey, I want you to go all out on this match."

The Abyss Watcher looked at her confused. "Why?"

"It's about time we see you get serious," The Fox Vastaya replied. Grey was about to say something, but she quickly added, "I know you don't have a reason to, but we should still see it… please?"

The Abyss Watcher sighed shaking his head. "You're not going to like what you see," he tried to reason with her.

However, Ahri just waved it off. "We can handle it."

"Fine," Grey sighed. He supposed that he couldn't always be laid back. After all, he has a reason to fight for now. "And Garen, I'm sorry."

The older Crownguard looked confused. "For what?"

"Trust me, you'll see," Grey replied before both he and Garen vanished in a flash of light.

The viewing orb appeared in the middle of the dining hall drawing their attention. Grey's current picture was of him standing on a mountain of Demons while holding one in one hand and the other being reeled back ready to deliver a punch.

Tiara started chuckling. "Oh, this is going to be a ma.s.sacre," she said believing she was in for a show.

"Sorry, Tiara," Katarina said smirking at the Dancer. "But Garen is going to kick your brother's a.s.s."

The Outrider Knight, however, just waved her off. "Keep telling yourself that."

"I just hope Annie isn't around to see this," Brite mumbled not wanting the little Pyromancer to be traumatized.

Inside the Match:

The Abyss Watcher appeared in the rift alongside the other champions. They were Ekko, Caitlyn, Braum, and Gragas, which meant that Garen was on the other team.

"Wow," Ekko said looking over Grey's skin. "Who are you?" he asked.

"It's me, Ekko," Grey replied while still looking for where his sword is.

Caitlyn recognized the voice and asked, "Grey? Is that you?"

The Abyss Watcher nodded and Ekko whistled. "That is one epic skin," he said looking over Grey's armor.

"Thanks," Grey replied as he cracked his knuckles. "Summoner, can you let me in control for this match?" he asked.

The summoner, who was listening, was surprised. "Why?" he asked.

"Trust me, it'll be good," Grey replied moving his neck around.

They heard the sound that signaled the beginning of the Match. Ekko and Gragas went to the top, Caitlyn and Braum the bottom, and Grey the middle.

While pa.s.sing through his team's turrets, he realized that he had more free movement than the past Matches, where most of his moves were controlled by the summoner.

Making it to the middle of the Summoner rift, he saw the enemy minions with two champions. One was Evelynn and the other was… a pirate.

A literal pirate. A muscular man with a captain's jacket and hat without an undershirt. A golden metal left arm. What appears to be some kind of fiery sword and a gun. A long beard. And brown pants with a large belt buckle equipped with boots. That was Gangplank, The Salt Water Scourge.

"Oh, a new toy," Evelynn coed as her lashers pointed at Grey. "Well, let's just get-"

She didn't get to finish as a green armored fist smashed into her face sending her to the ground.

Gangplank immediately swung his sword at the Abyss Watcher, who blocked it with his knife on his left hand.

Since he still didn't know where his sword is, he supposed he'll have to make do with what he got.

Moving Gangplank's sword away, Grey smashing his helmet on the enemy champion's head, giving him a headb.u.t.t.

The pirate took a few steps back shaking his head before aiming his gun at Grey, who smacked it away with his knife.

The Abyss Watcher then punched Gangplank in the stomach before grabbing his metallic arm and ripping it off.

Kicking Gangplank on his back, Grey then raised the metallic arm and swung it down at its former owner's head, completely crushing it.

Grey saw Evelynn finally getting back up. Seeing Gangplank's fallen gun, he grabbed it and went to her.

The Demon glared at the Abyss Watcher as her usual smile is replaced with a frown. "I am going to rip your throat out and shove it up your-"

Again, Grey didn't give her a chance to finish as he punched her in the stomach this time. When she was caught by surprise, he shoved the barrel of the gun in her mouth and pulled the trigger.

The back of Evelynn's head exploded and her lifeless body fell on the ground. Grey threw the gun away after being done with it.

He was honestly glad that worked. He never used a gun before. But, thinking that they were probably like crossbows, and after spending an entire match with Jhin and seeing him use his, he just followed what he learned.

Putting those thoughts away, the Abyss Watcher turned towards the turret and grabbed Gangplank's headless body before going towards it.

The turret had locked onto him. But, he used Gangplank's body as a literal shield as he attacked the turret.

Seeing that he wasn't doing much damage without a weapon, the Abyss Watcher jumped back and out of the turrets firing range.

He then raised what's left of Gangplank's body, and threw it at the turret as if throwing a giant stone.

The body of the pirate collided with the turret at such a force that it actually brought down the magical construct.

Seeing his job at this lane finished, the Abyss Watcher entered the river and started heading towards the top lane.

Reaching the top-right edge of the Summoner rift, the Abyss Watcher saw Ekko and Gragas fighting against Garen and Akali.

The Abyss Watcher immediately rushed towards Garen and caught him by surprise with a punch to the face.

Gragas and Ekko concentrated on Evelynn, while Grey took on Garen. However, before the older Crownguard can even stand up, Grey grabbed Garen's sword that he dropped and raised in the air before stabbing it through its owner's chest, effectively killing him.

The Lord of Cinder then raised the Greatsword, which still had Garen's lifeless body in it, and threw it like a spear at the enemy's turret.

The Greatsword crashed into the center of the turret. And, like the last one, it crumbled from the force of the strike.

The other two champions, who already took care of Akali, just stared in awe as the Abyss Watcher had taken care of the turret easily.

Grey paid them no mind and decided to head back to the middle lane. Meanwhile, he was still wondering where his sword is on this skin.

Time skip: (brought to you by chibi Ahri changing through her skins one by one.)

To say the match was one-sided would be an understatement. Grey kept going through the entire rift while brutally killing anything hostile in his path.

"Wow… just, wow," Lux said unable to find words to describe how she felt.

"I… is he even allowed to do that?" Katarina asked as she saw Grey ripping a couple of champions apart.

"Well, we're watching him do it, so yeah," Nidalee said watching the brutality in front of her.

Tiara laughed as she saw Grey rip Evelynn's lashers off and use them to kill her. "Oh, it is good to see Grey fight like he used to," she said.

Everyone looked at her confused. "What do you mean 'Used to'?" Ahri asked.

"Because Grey used to be far colder than he currently is," Brite told them watching the match without any trouble like watching the news. "Honestly speaking, I was honestly glad to see how much more open he is now compared to the past."

Ahri then remembered when she first met Grey and realized that he is far more open now than back then.

Their attention returned to the match as the Abyss Watcher reached the enemy base after destroying another turret.

He found three champions waiting for him. Garen, Gangplank, and Akali were all in battle stance.

The first to attack was Gangplank, who immediately aimed his gun at the Abyss Watcher and fired.

The shot struck Grey's shoulder, but he paid it no mind as he stopped Garen's swinging sword with his knife.

A smoke bomb suddenly struck Grey's helmet, temporarily blinding him as Akali jumped on his back while stabbing her scythe on it.

The Abyss Watcher tried to shake the a.s.sa.s.sin off as Garen took this chance to step back and thrust his sword in the ground.

A giant sword fell on Grey just as Akali jumped away, heavily wounding him, but not finish him off yet.

Gangplank immediately aimed his Pistol at the wounded Abyss Watcher, and shot at his heart, finally killing him.

"Urghh… finally quit kicking," Gangplank groaned out as Garen and Akali sighed in relief.

They were about to turn to the minions that had gathered around their Nexus but stopped upon hearing the demonic roar.

It was at that moment that Akali and Garen remembered something about Grey and turned around.

The saw the Abyss Watcher in a Satanic circle that lit up in flames. Grey slowly stood up again with an odd red rune glowing through the visor of the helmet.

"Can't you stay down as a favor for a friend," Garen pleaded as he got into a battle stance.

"I'd appreciate that, too," Akali added doing the same as Garen.

The Abyss Watcher, however, simply ignored them as he apparently finally found his sword, much to their visible fear.

At first, it looked like a demonic handle of a sword. But, with a flick, a large blade purely made of red energy and covered in runes appeared with a double-edged-scythe-like end.

Grey simply twisted his neck slightly, cracking the bones in it before he attacked them with his newly acquired sword.

The first victim was Gangplank, who tried to shoot the Abyss Watcher. However, Grey used his sword to stop the bullet before swinging at the pirate's stomach, cutting him in half.

Garen came in swinging his sword, only for Grey to parry it, leaving the older Crownguard open for the Abyss Watcher's sword that cut his head off.

Akali threw a few kunais at the Abyss Watcher, only for him to cut them off with a swing from his sword before rushing in to cut her down.

The a.s.sa.s.sin just barely managed to jump back, but it was meaningless as the Abyss Watcher jumped forward and slit her throat with his knife.

Akali fell dead on the ground as Grey turned to the Nexus and went to attack it. With the minions that piled up around it, it wasn't long before the large crystal was destroyed.

"VICTORY, Red Team," the Announcer's voice was heard over the Rift before the champions were all pulled out of it.

The champions were now in the summoning chamber with their summoners. Everyone was pretty much quiet, staring at the Abyss Watcher.

The first person to speak was Grey, who was back to his usual look. "Wow!" he said suddenly turning to his summoner. "You must be the best summoner out there."

The summoner was caught by surprise as he looked confused. "I… what?"

"That entire match I was following your orders, and look at how it ended up. Congratulations," he said patting the Summoner's shoulder before turning to leave the chamber.

The other summoners all immediately thought that Grey's summoner was the one in control, and all gathered around him either congratulating him or asking him questions.

Grey came out of the Summoning chamber with Garen and Akali following. "That summoner had nothing to do with the match, did he?" Akali stated as a fact rather than a question.

Grey's silence was all the answer she needed. Garen sighed with a hand on his forehead. "You were right, now I do understand what that apology was for," he said realizing that the apology was an advanced one for what was going to happen in the match.

They all reached the dining hall and went towards the tables that the others were sitting on.

The first one to speak was Ahri. "That was…" she trailed off looking for the right words.

"Brutal, monstrous, merciless, cruel?" Grey suggested sitting down beside her.

"I was going to say a little overpowered," Ahri continued.

"Seriously, is a champion allowed to be that powerful?" Katarina asked while patting Garen's back. "I thought the summoners puts limits on overpowered champions."

Aki shook her head while saying. "Grey, your new skin is going to get so nerfed, that I'll be surprised if they don't downright ban it from being used."

Everyone just looked at her confused. "What?"

Aki realized what she said and immediately started explaining. "They are just phrases we summoners use in Champions' powers."

"Anyway," Grey turned to Akali who followed them from the summoning chamber. "Do you need something, Akali?"

"Oh, right," the rogue a.s.sa.s.sin seemed to remember something. "I wanted to let Ahri know that the Blood moon festival is tomorrow."

Ahri's ears perked in interest. "The Blood moon!? I love it! I used to always sneak around the villages when I was a Fox," she said but her smile slowly vanished remembering those days. "But… I never got to join."

It was pretty understandable. A nine-tailed Fox couldn't just walk into a village and start playing and celebrating with humans.

"Well, now you can," Grey said catching her attention. "We can go there tomorrow. It'll be nice to go into Ionia without having to kill someone."

While that did sound grim, everyone understood his logic and Ahri seemed to immediately perk up.

The Nine-Tailed Vastayan immediately hugged the Abyss Watcher. "Yes! Thank you so much!" she let go of him and gave him a small kiss on the lips. "It's a date then," she said before standing up and leaving to prepare for tomorrow.

The Abyss Watcher just chuckled shaking his head. After a few seconds, he finally registered what she said. "Wait… did she say date?"

(A/N: Thank you for reading this.

First, I know there isn't many events in this chapter, but rushing to the next event while the previous one just ended would be rushing the story.

Second, about Grey's skin. I wanted to give him a new skin, but couldn't think of anything. That's when I remembered the Doom Slayer. If you think about it, it suits him. They're both the last of their people, granted incredible power, and went on a rampage when their people were killed.

Third, the next chapter will be development between Grey's and Ahri's relationships. While it did finally happen, you can't expect them to immediately go with it without anything helping it.

Again, thank you for reading this. Please comment, review, and give me your thoughts on my story.)
