Sup peeps enjoying the story? I hope so and Yes I read plenty of Fics where Raiser was the asshole but I wanted to change people opinion of him. I am eventually going to write a chapter or two on Neji Meeting Raiser that's going to be a interesting one I say.
-Action-
Neji stepped up beside Raiser while the rest of the peerage scatter to do their assign jobs. Raiser just continue to sit in the principal chair before turning his eyes on his friend "So working at a cafe, how's that going for you?" He ask trying to kill time.
Neji started to speak only for Raiser to hold up his hand "Yubelluna direct two pawns and a rook to capture the Gymnasium." Yubelluna nods before speaking the orders through their magical earpiece.
"Yeah I started working there about two weeks ago. I'm saving up money to move out." Neji stated before leaning on the side of the desk adjacent from the Phenex.
"You know I could just give you the money for that or better yet come stay with me, you are my rook and have a place in my estate like the rest of the peerage you know."
Neji hummed softly before nodding "I'll think on it but I rather not deal with your sister flirting every second to be honest."
Raiser nods placing his feet on the desk "I'll tell her to give you some space, Besides my sister has anyone approach you about marriage yet?"
Neji shrugs "I haven't been going to hell lately and besides I thought you had to be a High-Class 'Devil' to be consider for marriage."
The blonde wave his hand in dismissal "That's bullshit to be honest, You have already been shown to be High-Class rank and that's enough, human or not your not someone to be trifle with don't forget I seen you in action plenty of times."
"Raiser-Sama Rias queen has destroyed the Gym taking your rook and two pawns should I deal with them?"
"Nah I'll do it."Neji stated casually.
Raiser nodded "Leave them alone, you focus on the priestess of thunder." He refocus on Neji "I just been hearing rumors that the Sitri family is thinking about contacting you and to be honest if I wasn't marrying the gremory heiress I would attempt a proposal to the Sitri."
The white eye teen smirks "I hear you have to beat the girl in a game of chess to propose."
"Mhmm I don't have so many wins under my belt for no reason Neji, admittedly the girl is smart but the main problem is people underestimate her. I wouldn't make the same mistake besides I'm no slouch when it comes to strategy I just know your capabilities and such relax alittle when plotting my enemies downfall."
Neji stood up before walking towards the door "So says the king."
Raiser smirks "It's good to be the king."
Issei and Koneko continue to push on surprising they wasn't meeting any resistance yet until a faint mist began to roll in, the two students stopped and began looking around "Are we in a illusion?"
Issei eyes widen "Can they do that?"
"You're not in a illusion." The two eyes narrow on a shadowy figure that was apparoaching them though the voice sounded faintly familiar.
"Who are you?" Koneko asks and the man stepped from between the trees into the light.
"Neji...what the hell are you doing here!?" Issei asks before looking around "It's too dangerous for you to be here."
The hyuga smirks "Baka the reason why I'm here is the same reason why you are." He cross his arms.
"Your one of Raiser pieces." Koneko stated surprising Issei "You're the one they call the white eye warrior."
Neji nods before glancing at his brother "Issei surrender now and let us bypass having me beat the snot out of you two."
Issei gave Neji his own smirk "Sorry bro, but I'm doing this for Buchou she's counting on me and I won't fail her even if I have to go through you to do it."
Neji nods "Very well." He dropped to his Gentle fist stance and gesture for them to come.
'BOOST!'
Issei sacred gear shouted as he charged forward with his arm rear back ready to deliver a punch only for Neji to channel rock lee flipping his wrist down and pushing Issei outsretch arm towards the dirt tripping him up completely and making him rolled into the tree a few feet behind Neji.
"Ouch." Issei mumble while rubbing his wrist seeing Neji still staring at Koneko.
The Neko shot forward traveling twice the speed of Issei and with her palm forward connect with Neji outsretch hand. He held back her fist with his palm 'weaker than lee'She frown before trying to punch him with her other hand, He deflected her punch and Palmed her in the stomach not holding back like he did with Rias and sent the girl rocketing back througha few trees.
"Koneko!"His brother shouted as he came at Neji with some sloppy punches that Neji easily deflected before kicking Issei feet from under him and kicking him forward with his leg sending the boy skidding few feet back only for Koneko to appear behind Neji and he smirks before spinning while releasing chakra "Rotation!"The dome of chakra knocks into Koneko sending her back where she came from.
The girl shot back to her feet focusing on Neji "Hey Issei, you go on ahead."
The boy look from between Koneko and his brother before "...But"
Neji cut him off with a smirk "You may as well listen you're king is going to need all the help she can get."
Issei frowns before running away.
Koneko crack her knuckles charging again moving at her max speed, she punched at Neji who dodge her strike with ease and he rolled around her fist before Kicking her directly in the back where her spine would before sending the girl stumbling forward before he stepped back while smirking dancing around her powerful but slow punches before he palm her with a uppercut sending the girl midair and he jumped up turning in the air "Rotation!"Ramming her with his chakra sending the girl smack dab into a boulder destroying it in the process.
Koneko stood up bleeding a little from her lip and Neji dropped right back into his stance "Let me tell you something, the minute you chose to face me was the same moment your fate has been decided your not going to make it pass this encounter and your king is not going to win this rating game." She frowns before charging him yet again. Neji closed his eyes before reopening them with his Byakugan activated "Eight Trigrams:Mountain Crusher." His Palm connected with Koneko directly in the stomach making the girl scream in pain as his chakra went straight through her, as well as carrying her through several trees before she came to a halt in a small clearing. Neji slowly walked over to her before stopping "I was the worse opponet for you, the abilities of the rook piece strenghten the body to the extent where it can take a large amounts of damage on the outside but unfortunately for you my attacks doesn't just strike the outside of the body it hits the inner as well."
He begans walking away "Oh and take"He mumbles as the girl fades away.
"Rias Gremory Rook has been taken."
A piles of leaving carried with the wind surrounded the Hyuga before scattering leaving no trace of the teen.
Raiser stood with his hands inside of his pockets, his fiance Peerage were dropping like flies to the might of his peerage and now the only thing that stood between him and total victory was a pawn and the a defiant king that didn't know when to kneel. He was getting ready to burn them both to a crisp only for a minature Tornando with leaves appear in front of him. He could do nothing but smirk he still had both of his strongest pieces in the game.
"Neji my friend fashionably late aren't you." He smirks while shaking his head "See this is why you humans have so much trouble surviving always showing off when it isn't needed."
Neji glance at him "Says the overgrown pigeon, how do you feel knowing that a peacock is your distant cousin?"
Raiser chuckles softly before shaking his head "How bout we finish this discussion another time."
Neji shrugs before turning completely in Issei and Rias direction "Raiser that pawn is my brother."
Raiser eyes widen "this guy is your brother? Wait you have a brother?" Raiser turn on him "How the hell did that happen?"
The Shinobi cross his arms "Well when a man loves a woman they have what people call sex-"
"I know that you idiot!" A tick mark pulsed on raiser forehead. The phenex smirks, he could see Rias using the time that Neji and Raiser was giving her to come up with a pseudo battle plan before they decided to get serious unfortunately there wasn't a damn thing she could do.
"I want to handle him." Neji Stated looking dead at his brother who was trying to drill a hole through his skull with his stare.
Now it was raiser turn to shrug "Do what you wish I just want this over with."
Neji walk a few feet ahead of Raiser "Rias and Issei surrender now."
The Gremory Heiress shook her head "We still have a chance Issei."
"It's sad to see such a High ranking Devil claim to such false hope." Neji smirks getting into the Gentle fist stance.
'BOOST' Issei vanish from his place only for his punch to be stop by Neji. Issei eyes widen seeing his brother veins sticking out around his eyes. Neji look into his brother eyes while frowning "I'm Sorry." Issei blink only for Neji to punch him in the face rocking the boy head. Issei lean to the left where Neji grab his jacket pulling him in for another punch than another after that before Neji knee his little brother in the gut knocking him back towards Rias who look on in shock.
Issel felt straight onto his ass laying still. Neji turn 'BOOST!' Issei sacred gear shouted. Issei shot back to his feet before vanishing in a burst of speed unknowingly stepping into Neji blindspot. The Hyuga barely had time to turn only to get rock hard with a haymaker sending him skidding straight back, he was going to fly off the roof if Raiser hadn't step in and caught him breaking his momentum.
"Damn that had to hurt."Raiser stated while looking at his friend.
Issei breathing was raggard 'BOOST!'
Riaser look him over while helping Neji to his feet "He's definitely isn't use to using that much."
Neji frown before glaring at his brother "I got cocky and let my guard down."
Raiser chuckles "So even the mighty hyuga can be careless at times."
Neji push away from Raiser who continue to laugh "I'm ending this now." Issei vanish again appearing directly in front of him "Rotation!" His chakra repelled the boy who shot back and held out the gauntlet.'BOOST'
Issei glare at his brother "I'll defeat you for Buchou!
Neji frowns 'He'll destroy himself if he keeps it up.' Issei charged him again and Neji made his choice.
Just when Issei stepped close enough everything seem to slow down for Neji who spoke up "Gentle fist Art:64 Palms." Issei and Rias eyes widen when Neji vanish completely only to be seen again spinning on his toes with both of his palms out Jabbing Issei in the chest "4 palm!" The Momentum of Neji Palms push Issei back "8 Palm!" 8 consecutive strikes push the boy back even farther "16 palms!"Neji fist sped up even faster continuously hitting Issei "32!"His fist was nothing but a blur to everyone vision "64!"He Shouted before Palming Issei in the stomach "Sorry Brother."He mumbles softly as a tear welled up in his eye as he grab Issei before he could fly away and shifting his form "128 Palm!"He continues his vicious barrage and The sacred gear vanish completely off Issei form.
"Raiser Please stop him!" She beg running over to the man who simply watch it with a blank look "Raiser!" She grabs onto the man forcing him to turn in her direction "I surrender!" Once those words left her mouth Neji halt his attack on his brother who just dropped like a sack of patatoes unmoving.
"Checkmate."Raiser mumbles still surprise at Neji brutality.
Neji himself look at his brother body knowing that his sacred gear and his promotion took the brunt of the attack, he just need to avoid hitting the vital organs though he will be sore all over for the next week 'That power is too much like Uzumakis before he gained control.' He thought.
Issei shot up in bed before Immediately shouting in pain. He look at Neji before frowning "What the hell are you doing here bastard?"
Asia ran into the room before using her twilight healing on the boy while attempting to calm him "My chakra is inside him and will take sometime to fade you may heal him but the soreness will take time."
The blonde nun nods "Issei."she spoke softly.
The boy look at Asia "Where is buchou?"
"She's home...preparing for her wedding."
"I have to go." Issei attempted to sit up, with much difficulty he manage that and stood on his feet only for Neji to simply touch him and the boy shouted out in pain "What the hell was that for?!"He frowns "You're still trying to kill me you bastard? Your suppose to be my brother! We grew up together taking care of one another when mom and dad wasn't around...and you betrayed me!"
Neji simply stare at him blankly "Are you done?" Issei just continue to glare at him "You're in no shape to go out there fighting Raiser...He would and will destroy you."Neji cross his arms "Beside I gave you a chance to surrender...twice so you brought this on yourself."
"You don't understand Neji, Buchou she saved my life I wouldn't be here talking to you right now if it wasn't for her. I would have been 6 feet underground..."
The shinobi frowns "Rias Gremory is a powerful woman she could have easily slain those fallen angels and prevented your death if she meant well, but no She use those fallen angels to acquire you and you blindly follow her like a lost little puppy."He nods at Asia "You think she revive the girl because of you? No it was because she had the twilight healing sacred gear she's worth something."
Issei look down "I know more than I let on brother."Neji stood to leave.
"She's not how your making her out to be stop trying to vilify her to justify your own actions. I'm going to save her no matter what." Neji smirk that was exactly what he wanted to hear "No matter what huh?"Issei nods while balling his fist.
"How bout I make you a deal?" Neji Suggested while facing Issei.
"What is this deal?"Issei asks curious of what his brother was thinking.
"I'll save Rias from her loveless marriage if you promise me you will stay the hell away from her and her peerage and anything else that involves putting your life at risk."
Issei eyes gaze over in thought and Neji felt like a bastard for doing this but he had to make sure his family was kept safe by any means necessary and if the rating game was any indication to go by, Issei wasn't ready to use his sacred gear.
Issei spoke up"It's a deal."
So guys did you love it? hate it? want to assassinate me in my sleep for making Neji a bad guy in this scene?
all thee above let your thoughts be known.
