Everything was finally settled. Terumi, Izanami and Relius was finally taken care of. The Azure now safely behind the gates so no one can use it and the world finally returned to it's proper form, a world where people make their own future, free from god's control. But something unexpected happened and someone that wasn't suppose to be in their world was. They were all shocked that a certain Grim Reaper came with them to the new world created by the Azure and their dreams.

It took them all by surprise, Noel and Lambda jumped onto him the moment they saw him. Nu was still comatose and it took her a while to get her right mind back. Once she did she held him and didn't let go until Noel and Lambda had to pry her off of him. Kagura made a joke of turning him in, but was quickly struck by Jin, Nu and Lambda shooting him death glares that would scare the goddess of death herself.

It was explained that after Ragna took the dream of god and returned the master unit to the other side of the gate and created a new possibility for everyone to live free, he was included as a full package deal as his exitence itself became a "possibility". As the world they live in now was a world that everyone's possibilities could be fulfilled, he was included as a full packed deal. The will of the Azure reinstating his existence, but not implementing it into the Tagamagahara system.

Noel and Jin were happy to have their brother back and didn't really care for all the specifics. Rachel was stunned to see him, probably more then any of them. But with his existence now back into the world, the memory of him and what's he's done has been brought back, Ragna still an SS class criminal. He still couldn't move all that well so he couldn't go to a doctor and have them check him and then he'd run if things got heated. Rachel decided to have him stay with her and have him rest up in her house. However, instead of Valkenhayn taking care if him Rachel took it on herself to look after him. Now Ragna lays in the large bed, looking out the window of the bedroom to the large rose garden below.

It's been about three months since everything came to an end and he's been laying down, recovering from the battle he had with Susanoo'o and Terumi. Over using the Azure grimoire taxed his bodies physical strength more then he thought it would. Over the past three months he's back to full strength, but Rachel keeps telling him not to move. "That damn rabbit… Does she every listen…" he sighs.

Ragna found that since their really wasn't anyone to talk to, given the fact that he's alone most of the time and the only company he ever gets is when Rachel brings his food upstairs. Which was odd for him that Rachel herself was bringing him his food, but their was something odd with how she was acting when she would give him his food. She always had this pissed off expression on her face when she looked at him, he didn't know why, but couldn't really find a time to ask her since she would just put the plate down and leave.

There was also a rare occasion that Noel, Jin, Lambda and Nu would visit or when they were allowed in her house, given that anytime they would come the house would be filled with nothing but noise, especially from Nu who would just cling to Ragna the whole time as he would pat her. Lambda would always pout and ask Ragna to do the same, Noel catching the same type of jealousy. Jin wouldn't show it, but he would get agitated and at one point moved and put his head down so Ragna could pat him.

He did it, but it was hell of awkward because of how straight forward and quiet he was about it. The last time they visited was a few weeks ago, so since then Ragna's been pretty bored. "Come on… I can't stay cooped up here for fucking ever…" he found himself constantly chatting away to himself, to be honest it was kind of worrying him and wondered if the Azure had any long lasting effects on his mind. He hoped not. He looks at the side table to see the mountain of plates and dishes building up. "Can't that rabbit just teleport them all to her sink?" He sits up and groans. "I can't lay here anymore. I need to walk around."

"You will lay back down now Ragna." He heard a stern voice from behind and turns to see Rachel standing with a bowl of soup in her hand. He groans. "Come on rabbit I'm fine." She ignores him and walks down to the chair next to the bed. She sits down and dips the spoon into the bowl of soup. "I'm not a kid you know.. I don't need you feeding me." She sighs. "Stop complaining and just open your mouth and eat." He groans and opens his mouth. She puts the spoon into his mouth as he sips the warm liquid.

They continue the cycle until their was nothing left in the bowl. Ragna sighs as Rachel puts the bowl down along with the rest of them. He looks at them and groans. "So you gonna move them anytime soon?" she doesn't say anything, a vein popping up on his forehead. 'If you don't want to be here then the hell are you here for!?' he thinks to himself. "So rabbit, you mind telling me what I did to piss you off so much?" Rachel looks at the dishes and plates on the side table. "I shall have those familiars of mine take care of this. I can not have them stack up like this."

"Wow… Just ignore me and go onto something else huh? Real mature…" she gets up from the chair and starts to walk out. She stopped moving and felt something grab her wrist. She looks to see Ragna holding onto her and it doesn't seem like he was letting go anytime soon. "So you want to tell me what's got you so pissed off at me?" she tries to walk, but Ragna holds her and keeps her from moving another inch. "Let me go." She says coldly.

"Sorry, but I ain't gonna do that. Now your gonna tell me exactly what's wrong." Her fist clenched as she said in a more stern voice. "Ragna. Let go." He tightens his grip on her. "No. Now what the hell is wrong with you? You've been pissed off at me ever since I got here. Everytime you look at me their always that look of anger. So what the hell did I do?" she sighs. "Nothing you need to worry yourself over. Now will you excuse me, I must go."

"Like I said, I ain't letting go until you tell me exactly why your so bitchy." Ragna says a bit more sternly. "Why… You want to know why? It doesn't matter if I tell you or not."

"How do you know?" He asks her. "Just shut up and go back and lay down Ragna." She says bluntly, completely ignoring anything that came out of his mouth. "Your acting like I damn child who's throwing a tantrum right now. If you're the child, I'm the parent. So calm down, stop being so damn stubborn for once in your life and tell me what's wrong with you."

"Calm down… Calm down? Ragna…I do not wish to speak with you. I will tell you once more. Release me." Rachel says. "And I'll tell you one more time. I won't. Look if it's about what I did to you then I'm sorry alright. I thought it was the only way I could keep you safe. So just calm down and talk to me alright." He looks to see her body starting to shake. "You idiot… Calm down…! Calm down!? How do you expect me to be calm!?" she turns to him. Her eyes were running, tears flowing down her cheeks. "R-Rabbit?" her eyes were red, her glare directed right up to him. "How do you think I felt Ragna!? Do you think I felt proud!? Proud at the fact of my own powerlessness!?"

"What…?" He lets go of her, Rachel continuing on. "You just go off and try to erase yourself and for what!? Do you have any idea how I felt Ragna!? I was so pathetic!" he clenched his fists. "Look...it was the only way to stop everything from repeating. I couldn't have done anything else to stop it. Besides, why the hell should you care…" she grits her teeth. "Why should I care!? How could you even ask me that!? Even if it is not me, what about the family you were about to abandon!?"

"I wasn't going to abandon them! I'd never, EVER do that! Why the hell else did you think I felt like they should've just forgotten about me!" he grits his teeth. "My whole existence was a living nightmare…! Did you think I felt ok knowing that!? All those people, that war, the deaths of millions was because of me and my own weakness! Do you even know how I felt!?"

"The same goes for me! Why were you trying to protect me? I didn't ask for your damn protection! I would've been just fine without you." He smirks. "Oh yeah? We're you ok when I found you at the mercy of Hazama? No, you weren't." she hisses her teeth. "If I remember correctly, a certain idiot almost turned into the Black Beast by Hazama. I do not think you have room to talk." She continues. "I didn't ask for your help and I didn't ask for you to protect me! All you were about to do was die a pointless death, leaving your so called family behind! So I think that's what abandonment is."

"Oh so what your giving me a pep talk now? Like hell I need one from you of all people." Ragna snarls. "You are nothing but an idiot!" Rachel shouts. "About what? What the hell am I suppose stupid about!? What am I missing that's so damn important huh!? All the time…! You never change! If anyone's the idiot out of the two of us it's you!" he hisses his teeth. "You really don't understand anything…"

"I can't believe you can still say that to me! Why should I care? How dare you ask me that, then have the gall to speak to me this way! And what don't I understand!?" Ragna hisses his teeth. "You shouldn't give a damn what I do! You said I should make my own decisions and that was my decision!"

"Well it wasn't a very good one!" Rachel shouts. "If you hated me so much then why did you let me stay here!? You should've just let me handle myself like you always let me! At least then I have some peace and quiet! Maybe it would've been best if I never came back at all!" she grits her teeth. "And what's that going to solve!? Answer me Ragna!" he grits his teeth. "You don't understand how I feel!? The hell are you going to understand what I'm thinking!? Why should you care? All you thought of me was nothing but a weapon…"

"What?" she gasps, the room filled in a long silence. He looked away from her, Rachel just staring at him in shock. "Ragna…is that…really how you…" He clenches his fists. "No that's not it… I just… I don't even know what the hell I'm saying anymore. Look I didn't mean…" he stops as pure silence fills the room. Ragna looks away from her, not daring to look at her. She looks down, none of them saying a word. She looks back up at him and felt a lump in her throat that stopped her from speaking. She opens her mouth to speak, but no words came out, Rachel couldn't find any words to say to him and neither could Ragna to her.

She clenches her fists. "Why did you save me…" he doesn't say anything as she continues. "If that is really how you look at me! Someone who does nothing but use you, then why did you save me!? What was the point in saving someone you despise!? I want to know Ragna!"

"You wanna know huh? Well I want to know the same damn thing!" Ragna bites his lip. "You know… Maybe I really shouldn't have come back if this is what I'm gonna have to deal with!" he walks over to his sword and jacket and quickly puts them on. "And where are you going!?"

"Anywhere is better then here!" Ragna shouts. Rachel watches as he stomps passed her and out the door. He slams the door hard as she felt as if the whole room shook from the force of the slam. She walks over to her dresser and rests her hands on. She looks down at the small mirror that laid on the dresser, gazing at her own reflection. Her breathing started to increase. First they were slow deep breaths. They then turned to pants and finally uncontrollable breathing.

She felt rage well up inside of her as her fangs began to show and her hands began to dig into the marble dresser. "AAAHHHH!" She yells and raises a hand up and slams it back onto the dresser, breaking the mirror that sat on top. The door flew open as Nago and Gii came rushing in. "Madam Rachel!"

"Princess! Are you ok!?" she turns her head to them. They felt a chill run down their spines as she started to stalk towards them. The slowly back up. "P-Princess…?" they saw her finger twitch with electricity as their eyes widened. "Wait princess! No!"


Ragna made his way through the hall and downstairs. His fists clenched tightly as he traversed the hallways. As he walked heard footsteps other then his own and looks to see Valkenhayn, but paid him no mind. The old butler saw him and stops in front of him. "So you are healed now?" he asks.

"Oh yeah. I'm just perfect." He says in annoyance. "Now I want a one way ticket out of here and your gonna give it to me." Valkenhayn raises a brow. "You seem to be in quite a hurry. Might I ask where madam Rachel is?"

"The "princess" is upstairs." He growls. Valkenhayn read his tone and realized something happened. "What happened." He asks sternly. Ragna hisses his teeth. "Ask that damn vampire upstairs. She'll tell you EVERYTHING." Valkenhayn's claws and fangs began to show as he stared Ragna down. "Boy. What did you do to madam Rachel. If you do not answer I will force you too. Now tell me."

"Oh what did I do huh? I'll tell you what I did. I got that hell out of there before I DID do something. And it wasn't gonna be pretty. Now your gonna get the hell out of my way, before I decide to make you my stress ball." Valkenhayn grabs his collar and hoists him up, Ragna not flinching or showing any sign of fear, his expression filled with a quiet rage. "Ragna the Bloodedge. What the hell did you do." Ragna grips his arm. "Let me go old man. Before I show you exactly why you shouldn't fuck with the "Grim Reaper"."

"You seem quite confident Ragna. However I am not in the mood for your games." Ragna grips his arm tighter. "Neither am I." the hallway filled with silence, Valkenhayn staring right into his eyes and he could see something was wrong and it was eating at him. "So… You gonna let me go so I can leave or is this gonna get physical. Because honestly," he shot Valkenhayn a murderous glare, his eyes that of a predator staring down his prey. "I can go both ways."

"Hmph." Valkenhayn lets him go as he fixes his collar. "So where's the exit." A portal opens next to Valkenhayn as Ragna walks through without uttering another word. Valkenhayn couldn't help but grow worried about what transpired between them. He didn't really care for Ragna, but that look in his eyes was off. It wasn't a glare he would casually shoot at others and it's one that he's only seen once. That glare was the same glare he would shoot Terumi and that wasn't a good sign. "Madam Rachel…"

Valkenhayn makes his way up to her room, wordy filling him. As he walked he could've sworn he heard noise, like things were being broken and slammed all over the place. He started run and as he ran the noise got louder and louder. He reaches floor and turns to his right to see Nago and Gii outside of her door and not in the best condition. The butler ran up to them and kneels down to them. "Nago! Gii! What happened!?" the two slowly opens their eyes. Nago turns to see Valkenhayn, his voice trembling. "I-It's the princess…! She's… I've never seen her like this before…"

"Valkenhayn… Don't go…in there…" Gii grumbles before he falls back into unconsciousness, Nago quickly joining him. "What the devil is going on!?" without hesitation he grabs the doorknob and pushes the door open. He calls out Rachel's name and gasps as he looks around to see her entire room in shambles. The dresser was broken in half and her bed was torn up. It was like a tornado came in her room and tore up the whole place. "My word…" he looks to see the window at the end of the room opened. Guessing that's where Rachel went he walks over to the opened window and walks out on the patio. He looks down to see Rachel sitting in the middle of her garden, her back turned to him.

"Madam Rachel… Thank heavens." The butler sighs in relief and leaps of the balcony down onto the rose garden. As he got closer to her he couldn't hell, but feel something was wrong, very wrong. He could feel massive amounts of murderous intent and they were all coming from one person. "Madam… Rachel?" she slowly stands up, Valkenhayn coming to a complete stop. She slowly turns her head to him and cocks it to the side. Valkenhayn felt himself back up a little as her eyes pierced his soul, her gaze as venomous as a snake bite. "Valkenhayn? What are you doing here…?"

"Madam Rachel… What happened between you and Ragna?" Valkenhayn asks cautiously.

"Ragna? Did you just say…Ragna?" he nods. "Yes. Please I am worried about you. Just what happened between you and Ra—?"

"Don't you dare say his name." she cuts him off coldly. "Valkenhayn… I request tea. Do bring some for me." Valkenhayn couldn't believe what he was hearing from her. She sounded so distant, yet she was so close and her eyes were almost lifeless and yet they were filled with not only sadness, but an unyielding rage and hatred. He couldn't leave her and decided to stand his ground. "Madam Rachel, I can't! I will stay right here until you tell me why you and Ragna ar—!"

"Valkenhayn. I requested tea did I not?" she asks.

"What?" Rachel turns her full body to him and began to stalk towards him. "I requested tea. Did. I. Not?" Valkenhayn nods his head slowly. "Y-Yes…"

"So then why are you still here?" her voice was cold and desolate. It was nothing like the Rachel he knew not even an hour ago. "Madam Rachel, with all do respect I can not allow you to continue acting in these conditions."

"Are you defying me now? Will you walk out and leave me too?" she cocks her head to the side, a smile coming across her face. "M-Madam Rachel…? That is you isn't it?"

"Why of course it is I. Who else would I be? Now Valkenhayn, my tea please. And do not keep me waiting." Valkenhayn runs up to her and grabs her shoulders. "Madam Rachel, pull yourself together!" he started to shake her a little and continued, his voice filled with worry. "Just tell me what is the matter. This matter is only hurting you, Ragna seems to also have it weighing heavy on him."

"Ragna… Did you say Ragna?" she asks in confusion.

"W-What?" Valkenhayn slowly let's her go and take a step back. It's like she was a completely different person. "Ragna… Ragna Ragna, ah yes. I believe I know who you are referring too. You mean that barbarian. The same barbarian I specifically said not to mention in my presence. Is it the same Ragna?"

"Well… Yes." Valkenhayn answers.

"Get my tea." She says coldly, giving him a black stare. "I want no more discussion from you. Now. Go get my tea. I better have it in the next ten minutes."

"I can't!" Valkenhayn looks to see her fangs starting to appear. "Valkenhayn… Are you defying the wishes of your master? It seems as though you wish to rebel. Rebel… Rebel…! That reminds me of someone… That name…brings me so much…!" her fangs were completely out and her normally majestic and ladylike disappeared in an instant. "Now where is my tea? I requested Nago and Gii to bring me tea earlier, but they seem to have had a rather difficult time in doing so. So…they needed to be punished.

"Madam Rachel… You did that to them?" he asks in shock.

"Did what? I have no idea what you speak. Now my dear Valkenhayn, I would like for you to hand me my tea. I have waited quite a while and I am quite parched. Or do you wish for my to punish you as well?" an odd smile came across her face, one that sent a powerful chill down the old man's spine. "I would rather not since I actually like you being around Valkenhayn. I would not wish to kill you. Unless you would like me to kill you…? Hehe… Hahaha…!"

"M-My god…" Valkenhayn quivers a little.

"Did you say something Valkenhayn? I think I asked for something didn't I?" she started to tap her chin with her finger. "What was it… What as it…ah! I asked for something to quench my thirst! That is it. Thank you Valkenhayn. You truly are a one of a kind butler."

"Ragna the Bloodedge…just what happened? I need to find him and quickly." Valkenhayn's whole body went stiff. He gazed upon his masters visage. It was like that of a beast. "I did not quite catch that." Valkenhayn quickly dodged to the right as a thunderbolt struck down. "Did you say Ragna? I do not know why…but that name… Irks me." Another one came down as he dodged it again, but just barely. Rachel began to stalk towards him, a powerful wind blowing around them.

"What is this!?" Valkenhayn gasps.

"To think you would disobey me." Valkenhayn dodges another lighting bolt, but trips and falls down from the shockwave of the sudden bolt. He grunts in pain and opens his eyes back slowly. Once he did, all he saw was large red orbs staring directly at him. This might have been the first time in his life that he was afraid of anyone or anything. Even the Black Beast couldn't compare. "I shall be waiting in the dinning all." She started to walk away, leaving a stunned Valkenhayn behind.

He stood up and watches her slowly walked back inside the manor, her body was wobbling as she walked. His eyes were opened wide in shock. He never understood why she felt the way she did towards him. He was nothing more then scum that should not even be breathing the same air as his mistress. But the feelings she had for him, was much greater then he realized. To cause this much of a change in her was impossible, even for Terumi. Valkenhayn thought he would never live to see the day this would come to pass. "No… This is impossible..." After taking all that in and looking at her now and how she was acting, he came to a unbelievable conclusion. His worst fears have been realized. It happened and he didn't want to believe it, but it happened. It really happened.

"Madam Rachel… Broke."

Ok so I this idea popped into my head and I decided to write it. It was suppose to be much more lighted hearted at first, but idea rolled into my head and it ended up with…well…this. So this story won't be as light hearted as I was hoping for, but I didn't mind the end result. However I won't be updating this as quickly as my main story. This is kind of like a story I'll update while working on my other story. But if others actually like this and want to see more, I don't mind updating this quicker. But if not, this will just be updated periodically for a quick read. So this is getting pretty long so I'll close this off now. See you all next time!
