UPDATE AT LAST! Sorry for this really late update. Personnel problems...

Answering to the reviews...

Enigma95: Well I PM'd you. Still you should look before you leap... but thanks for the other parts.

To the 'guest' and Master of dragons God: thank you for the review!

Well, you all may find some things that many not go as the anime. I would request you all not to comment on such things and just enjoy this story... I don't have much to say so here we go...


"Damn! We must take immediate action in this regard!" Amakasu exclaimed.

"Don't worry about Lord Salvatore. The bronze black cross is on the work. I now will have to take leave. I will do all I can to desist him from going to Japan." Lilianna said.

"But you can't fight a Campione, no matter how high post you hold." SirZech calmly remarked.

"That's right. That's why I will try to sort it out with dialogue." She said and immediately took leave.

Dialogue with a Campione, and above all with that idiot Donni... That would be interesting, Sirzech exclaimed in his mind.

"I will go after that Kusanagi guy!" The highest knight of the Copper Black Cross, Erica Blandelli announced as no one volunteered to that topic. No one was sure what to do. Thus, her decision was all accepted. After all, she was the strongest among them all. She was the Diavolo Rosso!

"But even you will need help..." Someone spoke up.

"If so then I will accompany Erica." All the attention turned to the beautiful woman, who was much older than she looked but even so, she still had all that is required making even a preteen go crazy for her. Well for a better description... even the top models of the world are a shame in front of her. Magic... that is all behind it. Yes, she was none other than Lucretia Zola, the most powerful mage in the world. Well she was until the accident of Kusanagi Godou.

"That's settled then." Said Amakasu.

"I will now take the leave. I have to explain the entire situation to the other Maos. And I do too like to help in this regard," said Sirzech, "I will send my sister for this job. She is in Japan. I do not want any mistake to be done. So just to be sure..." His words being the law for those mages, they could only agree. Besides, they need extra help and a devil helping them. That is more than anything that they could ask at that time.

"I hope you will get along with her, Miss Erica." With those words, he disconnected and was gone.


Later with Lucretia and Erica (In lucretia's mansion)

They were going through all the files on Kusanagi Godou and his family line.

"Well I accepted but I have no idea how I will do it." Erica exclaimed.

"Why do you say it?" Lucretia asked, blushing as she was looking at an older Kusanagi. To be precise Godou's grandfather.

"Well going through his files and his lifestyle, I don't think we will get along well."

"Why?"

"See this." Erica showed her laptop. "Here, this file." She opened it.

Lucretia went through it. It was about the personal life of Godou. As she went on, she felt like she was reading about the life of his grandfather, especially the part where there was the description about his relationships at school, mainly with the opposite sex. That former flush again came back.

After she finished she asked, "Ok, so now what's the problem?"

"His whole personality is the problem. I can make out what kind of person he is. A perverted, manner less, womanizer!" Erica shrugged her shoulders while saying it.

"You can't say such things about him unless you meet him." Lucretia said.

Well Erica is right, I suppose. I can make out that he is a womanizer. Looks like he inherited the traits of his grandfather... However, a pervert and manner less? Erica surely went too far in this regard. Still this Kusanagi will surely be an interesting person... just like his grandfather. Lucretia thought.

"No. I bet I will not like him. He is a complete opposite to me! He is a person who should remain below my feet!" A fire was burning within her heart. A fire of disgust... that was intensifying... She indubitably could not handle such people.


With Godou...

Godou without falling in anyone's eyes in his attire full of blood reached his house. In this regard, the weather helped him a lot. It had turned into a gale by then. No one was on the streets... actually, not even a single soul.

On the other hand, Godou was lucky that he was not much away from his house when the accident took place. Thus, he did not have to experience much of the gale.

As he was going to knock at the door, he stopped. A thought arose.

How in the world was he going to explain all this to Shizuka!

As he racked his brain, the door swept open, revealing Shizuka in a form that he rarely saw, grave worry... but that was only for the time being until she saw her brother properly. Her worry immediately turned into horror.

Her eyes, shrouded in darkness due to her worry for her brother, widened. She backed a little and then broke down in tears.

"Why?! How?!" she almost shouted. However all that sound were faint for Godou due to the howling wind outside which was banging every nook and corner of the house from the outside.

"Shizuka..." Godou managed. His voice was low, not able to think what to speak. Well he himself was not able to hear his voice...At last he spoke up, "Shizuka... it's not what you are thinking." He went put his arms around her.

She kept on crying but still she relaxed a bit from the strange warmth that she was receiving from her brother. Strange was the fact that Godou was completely drenched.

"This is not blood... just paint. It fell while I was returning back!" He was trying the best to fool her. However, he was feeling foolish to bring up such a stupid excuse.

"You think me to be fool?!"

Well...

"It definitely is blood. How did it happen? Tell me! I was worried to hell, as you did not turn up soon. I thought something might have happened to you in this storm and you now arrive completely covered in blood." Her weeping again intensified. The more she looked at him, the more she felt like going crazy.

At last, Godou not having any other choice took off his clothes and showed her his body. No, it was all right, not even a single scratch...

Her weeping lessened as she scanned his body. She soon found out that he was ok but she was still in a shock seeing brother in that state.

"See... I told you. I am ok."

"But-ho-w did yo-u get th-ose?" Shizuka managed in between hiccups, looking at that shirt that Godou threw on the floor. She really got a damn shock...

"Long story..." Godou said. He saw the confused and sad look on her face and to prevent any stupid thoughts from forming in her mind Godou jokingly added, "I assure you that I didn't do anything crazy like killing somebody or something." He was trying his best to ease the situation. "You don't need to worry and I won't worry you again like this Shizuka, I promise." In addition, he pulled her into another hug which lasted quite for some time until Shizuka became quiet besides some timely hiccups.

"Now I need a bath..." Godou then stood up. He went away with his clothes with a sigh without the detection of Shizuka.

The water was warm and ready. Even after being bossy, Shizuka indeed loved her brother a lot and cared for him.

After bath, Godou came for dinner. Shizuka was there with the hot dinner, all put out on the table unlike the cold breakfast of the morning...

Shizuka never had dinner alone, except the times when Godou was away... She always waits for him.

After dinner, Godou got to his room and immediately felt asleep after he lay on the bed. He was feeling some sort of headache and he was not sure about the reason of it. His mind was still blank...


Kuoh Academy. Occult research club...

Rias rushes into the main room.

All the members were there as Rias called them for an urgent meeting.

"Hear everyone." Rias called out. All the attention turned to her. "Brother has contacted me about the recent anomaly that we faced. He has assigned me in a mission." She then paused and glanced around her peerage.

No one let out any sound and all had their ears up signaling Rias to continue.

"I had been asked to help out a knight in the investigation of the outburst. The source came out to not to be a place or a thing or relic of some kind but a human."

Some murmuring came out from the group out of pure confusion.

"A human?" Akeno wondered.

"No ordinary one. I got informed that he is none other than Kusanagi Godou, the newest generation of the Kusanagis."

All of them, except Issei, had an expression that was of pure horror as they heard the name of Kusanagi.

"Did you say Kusanagi?" Akeno asked. She was not ready to accept the fact that that turmoil of energy relates to a Kusanagi. No, not after having the full knowledge of the ancient mysterious prophecy.

All stood their dumbfounded until Issei spoke.

"Hey! Would anyone like to enlighten me? It seems like I am the only one in this room who is not able to make any head or tail of this conversation and of your looks. Who are the Kusanagis?"

"Well it's a good chance to explain you all about this world. You still do not have the full knowledge of this world. You only know about devils, angels and the fallen angels, other mythical beings and its related stuff. You have only heard the names of the other creatures of the world fictional to the ordinary man." Rias sat on her seat and began...

"I will start from the start...

As now, you are fully aware of the fact that the world is not as it seems. There are devils, fallen angels, angels, heretic gods and god slayers known as Campiones.

Man I know this things... Issei thought but nonetheless he let his master go on.

The likes of fallen angels and the heretic gods constantly imperil this world. Thus, the duty to deal with them got into the hands of the devils and the Campiones respectively.

A fact here to be noted that not all the fallens are bad.

The devils were the natural enemies of the fallen angels from the times of the Great War and thus they impulsively clashed with them. Yet, the Campiones are different.

Well you must be confused about heretic gods and it is the main topic so I will leave the other parts.

Heretic gods are gods, heroes and divine monsters who have stepped out of myths and legends to enter the mortal domain, endangering people. Actually, a heretic god forms when the gods and the others are bored and burdened with the myths and legends related to them. They rebel against them, escape from the myths and legends, and incarnate as heretic gods. Mere mortals cannot see them. To be precise, the ones devoid of magic. They can be visible to humans only as natural calamities and disasters. These gods have been descending to earth since the time that cannot be recorded by history.

Campiones unlike devil are no natural enemies to the heretics but they are actually rather employed to become one...

Campiones are born when a mortal slay a heretic god and acquire their abilities. They are the ones chosen by a god named Pandora, the mother of all Campiones. She gave them the duty of saving the world from the wrath of the heretics.

After getting married to Epimetheus she started adopting the Adam's sons and daughters, the ones who have slain a heretic god. We do not have much information as to how this happens as this topic never came into the interests of out kind. Therefore, I will leave that part.

These Campiones and we devils have always maintained a kind of cordial relationship between us. They are on their own way and we on our own. Thus, we do not cause any intervention to each other. In matters of power, the Campiones and the heretic gods are equal to the high devils but I and Sona and the other still 'unripe' ones are much, much lower to them...

And now concerning the recent happenings... long time ago a prophecy was made, about a mage whose sole power would equal a Campione...

It said that if such a mage would become a Campione then it will be the end of the world... Now think of a situation where that mage becomes a Campione. Imagine the power he or she would hold..."

Rias stopped seeing Issei's face. It was dry and void. Until then he was listening with great interest but the prophecy part shook his head.

"Are you serious?" he said in a low voice. Rias only nodded. "But it may be false..."

"Well it was thought so but the birth of a mage in Japan changed it all. His name is unknown but his family name still breaths... its kusanagi."

Issei froze, his expression becoming exactly like the others, of the time when they heard the news from Rias. Issei mentally screamed, seriously?! Man! All that energy from someone with the title Kusanagi... its shit... fucking shit! And now he easily fits as the mage of the prophecy? Its crazy!

"So you can now understand, Issei, the problem we all are facing. If this problem isn't solved quickly no one knows what will happen." Rias said.

"Do the Campiones know about this?" Akeno asked after some thought.

"No. The mages are trying their best to keep it away from their knowledge. They cannot take the risk of the hotheaded Campiones of come into such delicate matters. Its lame but I can understand their concern. Some of this Campiones are actually freaks! I happen to meet one named Salvatore Donni... don't ask me about my experience with him."

"So buchou, what are you gonna do, anyway?" KIba asked.

"I am to assist a high class knight and another woman, who happens to be the greatest witch at present, the witch of Sardinia, Lucretia Zola. We are to get into the life of that Kusanagi and anyhow stop him from doing anything reckless. We are to teach him how to control his magic and such stuff. He is extremely dangerous at present and by now all the heretic gods, the angels and the fallen one and other being must be in search of him... luckily something is blocking his existence and magic and so far, he is safe from other influences and safe to others around him. But we don't have any idea for how long."

"So you will be going alone?" Issei asked.

"Well bother told me to take Issei with me..."

"Ara ara..." Akeno gave out a smile, which was genuinely fake and had a killing aura around her. "Is it so? But it looks like you are making it up. You are planning to separate Issei and me..." she still had her smile on.

Rias sweat dropped and so did the others present in the room.

"Akeno. It is no time to get jealous. Its brothers order..." Well it is to some extent. He asked me to take someone strong with me. And Issei will do fine. Rias thought and unknown to her she started grinning, a face full of triumph. You will never get him, Akeno. She then turned her attention to Issei. "So Issei. You should start packing. We leave tomorrow. Oh and one more thing... We will actually be transferring to Godou's school. So in my absence, Akeno will be in charge..." and she tailed off, leaving behind a surprised flock and Akeno still thinking about that grin that was surely uncanny.


India, Uttar Pradesh, somewhere around the ancient city of Ayodhya…

An excavation site...

"Aaj bohut ajab lag raha he...(today's feeling quite strange)" a man in his mid thirties exclaimed to his fellow worker as both of them were returning back to the workers camp. They were going through the forest taking the long route. They were most likely in a kind of afternoon stroll. If it were any other day, they would have taken the shortest route possible to the camp. However, that day they were not as tired as they normally were. The work was very less that day as their employers, the researchers who were both foreigners and Indians, had a frantic situation right from sometime. They were not able to understand why suddenly their employers put their work in halt and went away for nearly four hours. It never happened before but on the other hand, it was none of their business.

"Ha, tumne thik bola. Boss log bhi bohut ajab bartab kar rahe the.(Yeah. Our bosses were behaving quite strangely.) " The other one said. "Phir bhi... aaj bhi hame kus nehi mila. Pata nehi ye log kia khun rahe he. Hamko bhi kus nehi batate he... (Nevertheless... even today, we did not find anything. I just cannot understand what they are finding. They do not even inform us.)"

"Ham to silf unke majdoor he. Boh hame accha mal de rahe hai aur accha bartab bhi kar rahe he. Aur kiya chahiya... unke pas sehi paper bhi he. Ham koi muskil me nehi parne wale... aur jeise meine bola, ham silf mamuli majdoor he. ( We are only their laborers. They pay us well and give us nice treatment. What's more, they have the necessary papers. We will not fall in any problem. Moreover, as I said, we are just simple laborers.)

Both of them kept their conversation on. When suddenly...

"Tumne boh suna( Did you hear that)?" one of them said.

"Kiya(What)?"

A sudden large rustle like sound came.

"Boh(That)!" the first one exclaimed, anxiously turning back only to see nothing.

"Hawa hoga...(It must be wind)" the other one said nonchalantly.

"Murkh! Boh hamare aas pas ghum raha he(Fool! It is moving around us)!"

Then that sound came again, this time much larger.

"Koi he waha(Is someone there)?" the first one called out. He was sure it has to be someone. He knew that forest like the back of his hand and he was sure that no large animal liked in that forest except monkeys and deer. Moreover, these animals cannot make such sound.

No answer came. They were in a clearing so no one could be hiding without them noticing. The second one now got worried too.

They called out again but this time they felt like they heard a voice, a man's voice but it had such beauty that they instantly they felt like moving towards it. The voice soon turned into laughter of a woman. They, mesmerized, kept on following the voice into the interiors of the forest. The sun had already set.

They reached another clearing. The laughter suddenly faded away and both of them came back to their sense. They were not able to make a head or tail about what was going on. The pleasant afternoon's weather was no more as the wind took a howling turn. The sky was dark. The moon was out and when they saw the sky, it was their horror seeing the clouds covering the whole of the sky but the moon light only falling over the clearing. They surveyed the surrounding area. Yes, the moon light was only falling over them. The wind and such a strange phenomenon gave the surrounding a ghostly appearance. What's more, fog began to cover the area around the clearing to the extent that everything became completely blur. However, everything was clear around them as if the moon light was not allowing the wind or the fog into its domain. Both of the laborers hold on to each other unknowingly for their dear life. They heard another sound, this time of a male...

They were not able to make a head or tail of whatever the person of thing was saying. Though it was a male's voice, it was far too strange to hear to consider it earthly.

Suddenly out of nowhere, fog began to appear in front of them and took the shape of a human but still in its smoggy form.

"Bhoot(Ghost)!" both of them exclaimed in unison. Both of them became frozen in fear. Their face became white and both of them fell down unconscious.

Slowly all the strange milieu came back to its normal state and the ghostly figure got vanish in the thin air without any sound.

Well...

Bye.
