Prologue: The Yin and Yang Dragon
Disclaimer: I do not own Highschool DxD
A young, black-haired boy laid on his stomach curled into a ball, blood puddled on the ground and his body twitching as a foot connected with his stomach, a cry of pain echoing in the dojo. His brown and violet eyes glistened with tears as his grandfather, a tall man with grey and yellow eyes and pale-grey hair in a loose ponytail, placed the tip of his sword to his throat.
"Get up!" , his grandfather Miamoto demanded as his steel broadsword glistened with blood. " I said get up! I don't care if we have to do this until you bleed out, you insolent brat! Get up and fight me again, Kazuto!" Kazuto stood up, the eight year old shaking as he took a weak ready stance with his muramasa held lightly in his right hand. Miamoto twisted his blade until Kazuto's fell limply to the ground, slammed the pommel into his stomach, and lifted the boy off the ground by the throat.
"Weak! Useless!" , Miamoto chastised as he choke-slammed the young boy into the ground. "You were to chosen to defend the princess of the Elven kingdom of Nadriendel! An honor few mortal men have ever received! Worse, I haven't even taught you how to control the Fallen Angel that chose you as her host! The Elvish Queen herself even voluteered to train you. And yet you forget that honor and throughout the entirety of your vigorous training, you proven to me that you're a waste of a human life! What's going to stop me from skinning you right here, boy?" Miamoto raised an eyebrow as the boy glowed with a blood-red aura.
Kazuto started to stand up, his muramasa shaking as his grip around it tightened to where his knuckles were white and energy built up around him. He dashed forward and the clang of steel on steel filled the dojo. He kneed his grandfather in the stomach and he aimed for his throat, the blade glowing with an aura that he was to young to understand. His grandfather blocked it with his shield and slammed it into his stomach, spittle flying from his mouth and he smashed against the padded wall.
He clutched his heart, a painful surge of power thrumming through his body, grabbed a katana, and stood up, the change of his tranquil attitude noticed by his grandfather. 'I'm going to end this! Three years of this and it ends today!' In a flash of silver, he smashed both blades towards the shield and slashed downwards before he kicked his sneakers into his grandfather's jaw. Miamoto spat blood and grinned with sadistic glee.
"That's more like it!" , Miamoto cheered. Kazuto's slit, red eyes meeting his grandfathers grey and yellow with hatred burning in his eyes, black and white scales forming on his arms. Dual blades hit the shield with a unhuman amount of force and a blast of air seperated the two combatants. Kazuto was the first to strike with a flurry of blows, the silver peeling from the front.
Katanas clashed with a broadsword and the blades seperated again before clashing again and again and again. Kazuto thrust his sword forward, the power of the thrust breaking the blade. Miamoto smiled and his broadsword lifted into the air, the cross shape of the handle high in the air. Kazuto sliced sideways, the action separating Miamoto's legs from his body. Kazuto smiled, fangs visible underneath his lips, as his grandfather screamed in agonizing pain. Kazuto placed his foot on Miamoto's shoulders and licked the gleaming blade before a battle-cry escaped his lips as he thrusted the bloodied katana towards Miamoto's throat.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Kazuto's father, Kirigaya, a man in his late twenties with his black hair in a ponytail and his blue and green eyes laced with worry and anger. He ran forward and took the blade from his son before he knelt down and placed his hands on his shoulders. " Kazuto, you got to calm down, okay?" , Kirigaya asked as he fumbeled around in his pocket and wrapped his fingers around something , "Can you do that? Please? Kazuto, I'm begging you, you got to calm down."
Kirigaya looked up and barely dodged a slash from Kazuto's hand, razor sharp fingernails cutting into his skin. Kirigaya closed his eyes and he brought his hands together in a prayer, the look of sadness on his face. 'Please, let the spell hold.' Kirigaya opened his eyes and dodged another strike. Kirigaya looked around in confusion until his son's forehead connected with his jaw and Kirigaya fell to the ground, his forehead bruised. Kazuto scoffed and walked towards Miamoto's bloodied body with a smirk of satisfaction. His foot smashed down onto Miamoto's bloodied, stump of a leg, blood flying into the air.
"Get up!" , Kazuto shouted with evil present in his voice , "Get up! So I can kill you, again! And again! And again!" Kazuto lifted the man by his throat and slammed his fist into the man's eye, the force powerful enough to send him through the wall. Kazuto turned around and chuckeled darkly, "Hehehehe, who's wants to dance?"
"I'll have this dance.", a feminine voice answered. Kazuto whirled around, his red eyes narrowed, until he spotted the voices owner. She was a fairly endowed woman with blonde hair held in a braid, honey-brown eyes that could pierce your soul, her pale gold dress clinging to her to emphasise her curves, her highheels, her golden bow and hunting knife, her rich red lips curved into a smile, her pointed ears, and the jeweled crown sitting atop her head. Queen Nadriendel removed her knife from it's sheathe, a pale green serrated blade pointed towards him. She took her stance, a mix of offensive and defensive.
Kazuto smirked evilly and brought his muramasa to his side. "Ok. Let's dance!" He disappeared into an afterimage and reappeared behind the Elvish queen. She sidestepped and Kazuto stuck the muramasa in the floor boards. The queen smiled as he abandoned the sword and swung his fist at her and she moved like water as he swung recklessly. For the future Knight of Nadriendel, this simply would not do. She smirked as he began to exhaust his energy and flung a weak uppercut at her. She caught it and smiled at the shock on his face as she pressed the golden cross onto his forehead. The scales sizzled on his arm and his concsiousness faded. She caught him as he fell and placed him on the matted floor gently.
Six hours later...
Kirigaya and Queen Nadriendel watched Kazuto and Queen Nadriendel's daughter, Seron, play together. Kirigaya, sporting a splint, a blackeye, and a bruised forehead sighed at the sight of his son and the Elf. "We got lucky today. If I knew how brutal the training was, this never would have happened. I'm just glad he can't remember anything about what happened." Queen Nadriendel looked at him and pulled him closer. "The son of the man who slayed two of the Four Horsemen chosen to save the world from pure evil. Or burn it to it's core. I cannot find a more fitting host for the Yin and Yang Dragons. Fate has chosen a good person to decide the destiny of both the supernatural and human world. Now, it's up to us to guide him."
Queen Nadriendel hummed in agreement before she spoke. "No one could have foreseen this. Astarot and Longwei are awakening inside the boy and the Holy seals are failing. The Rosary of Sealing will not work for much longer. And when those Dragons awake, his body could rip itself apart." Kirigaya nodded. "The Demon Lord and the Peacewalker. If and when they wake up, he will be in extreme pain, the internal battle ripping him apart."
Queen Nadriendel smiled, a warm expression. "The battle of the Unholy Dragon of Destruction, Hate, and Lust going against the Holy Dragon of Peace inside the body of one human boy." Queen Nadriendel watched as her daughter pleaned against Kirigaya's son and placed a kiss on his cheek. She chuckled into her sleeve as he passed out from blushing and her daughter tried to wake him up. Queen Nadriendel smiled and pushed Kirigaya onto the bed and straddled him, rubbing her hips against his and forcing one of his hands to cup one of her large breasts. Kirigaya blushed at her actions and opened his mouth to speak.
"Maelneth, what are you doing?" Queen Nadriendel placed a finger on his lips. "I haven't been with a man since my husband disappeared and you haven't been with a woman in a long time." She giggled as she pulled the straps of her dress down. "I just want to show you why my name means lust in Elvish. I want another child and I want you to be the father." Kirigaya began to sputter.
"B-but... our children are going to be married someday. We can't just get married and then let them marry!" Maelneth tittered. "Come now, Kirigaya. I'm not asking you to marry me." She pushed him down on the bed.
Kazuto pulled the sleeping Seron from his shoulder and snuck his way downstairs from his bedroom, his feet scuffling against the carpet, and slipped into his father's library. Some part of him wanted to know why his arms sizzled under cold water or that his skin was hot to the touch for other people. Kazuto rubbed the sleep out of his brown-violet eyes before he began to look through his father's volumes.
"Come on..." he muttered as he looked around at the neat stack of books behind him. "Not a single volume about possible sicknesses." Kazuto sighed in impatience, placed the books back where they belonged, and began to sneak back out. Or at leeast he tried to if he didn't trip over a medium sized book and faceplanted on the wooden floor. He rubbed the red mark on his head and turned to look at the book, a bookmark marking a page. He opened the bookmarked page and his interest peaked at the first few words.
The eternal dance of black and white
Seeing the words that he usually associated with good and evil on the page peaked his curiosity. He continued to read but this time he read aloud.
"The Legend of the Yin and Yang Dragon
Long before humanity recorded it's history in it's own language and before the Great War, the Supernatural lived alongside humanity in peace. That was until Astarot, the Dragon of Destruction, Lust, and Hate had arrived in the world, his madness spread across the land. Longwei, the Holy Dragon of Peace, had challenged Astarot in exchange for humankinds safety from his blood-lust and to prevent madness from seeping into the peace of the world. What followed next changed the fate of many. The ensuing battle lasted 16 days and 16 nights; destruction on an unbelievable scale. Cities turned to rubble, towns burned, and thousands died under the hellfire that encased the world for 16 days. Eventually, the Three Factions worked together one last time befoe the Great War and killed Longwei and Astarot, sealing them both inside one Sacred Gear. The Sacred Gear was bestowed upon a man who was capable of working toward peace or burning the world in the hellfire of eternal flame. The gauntlet had two sides, one for good and one for evil. The Gauntlet of Unholy Evil or the Gauntlet of Angelic Restoration. There has been a total of two Yin and Yang dragons, the rarity of a host restricting the user. The user is born a Dragon hybrid and five seals must be wrapped around the heart to prevent the early use of the Sacred Gear. But soon the day would come when Longwei will save us all... or Astarot will burn us all."
Kazuto felt nervous as he turned to the next page, his voice wavering slowly.
"Sacred Gears of the Yin and Yang Dragon
Gauntlet of Unholy Destruction: gives the user the ability to scan a magical spell and use it as if it were his own or repurpose it to his/her preferences. When the user hses the gauntlet, his or her eyes will turn red and their blood may turn black and, Astarot's corruption beginning to turn their blood black from evil and their pushed mind to insanity. User is capable of destruction on an unimaginable scale and bloodlust will have taken their mind. The Juggernaut Drive is accesible and the gauntlet itself has the special ability to create the Power of Destruction and the Armor of the Demonic Dragon."
Kazuto felt fear tear it's way through his heart but he kept reading.
"Gauntlet of Angelic Restoration: gives the user the ability to regenerate flesh wounds based on the severity of the wounds. Their hair will turn a metallic silver and they will have the ability to turn friends or foes into members of a peerage that will fight alongside the user and to summon the Armor of the Knight. The armor can shift into the Juggernaut Drive and has the ability to use powerful magic unknown to any Wizar or supernatural being."
Kazuto's blood froze as he read the next line in his mind.
Current Yin and Yang Dragon: Kazuto Kono
Kazuto shut the book and ran back into his room and tried to forget what he was. For all he knew, by the time he was asleep, it partially worked. But the word 'Dragon' bore into his mind and he could feel the burning of his arms again. This time, he knew what it was. And this time, he hid his face under the blanket and went back to sleep. He got two hours of sleep before he woke up with another feeling of burning.
