I still shouldn't have done this.

I don't own Highschool DxD

For the past six months, Veleria has been training herself against Dark, practicing healing techniques with Catherine, learning about the society from Zoe, or the occasional time when David would come along and do something with her; such as taking her outside to visit different parts of the world and have some fun. Her training is well paid off too. She could finally evade Dark when he would use his speed to attack her without warning, and can finally heal wounds that aren't lethal. Although she is taking her time resting on the couch with a ice pack on her forehead, she only grumble in defeat and watch TV in silence as Zoe was preparing lunch for her.

Her birthday had pasted recently, with her being fifteen now. Veleria told Catherine her birthday date and was surprised when she remembered. A couple of presents, food, and a cake that was so delicious; she smiled fondly at that memory. When Veleria had asked who made the cake, both girls gave knowing looks to Dark who had his mouth full of food. He denied everything when they said he made the cake, poker face when he said that. He was teased afterwards by Zoe who said he only make's the cake if he cares about them greatly. Dark still denied that too, saying that he only made the cake because she needed something to remember her birthdays, even if this is one of her first ones. Veleria cried there, showing her emotions as she stood and walked over to hug him. She thanked him greatly and wiped her tears, saying that she was thankful for her new family. They all had smiles when she said that and, to Veleria's embarrassment, sang happy birthday. Afterwards, they all ate as a conversation peak up.

The house was renovated when Dark had made a call. He said a small birdie owed him a favor and he's calling it in. Dark asked them all to be gone for the day and come back an hour or so, which they did. Veleria could only gape at the house now. The house used to be a really old home and she didn't mind it at first. But now? This is a bit much for a home renovation.

The home she used to live in now was a bigger home. Fourteen bedrooms, all with their own bathroom. The bathrooms size was not she had expected, with a hot tub in a few master bedrooms, with a shower head and everything she have saw in a bathroom. A TV is in each room with cable. A big closet is in each of the smaller rooms, but bigger closets are in the master bedrooms. Each room either had a big window or a balcony. The kitchen was replaced with a bigger sized kitchen that people can finally have room to fit in more people. The living room was enlarged with couches, bigger screen TV's which she could enjoy, some plants, and the photo they all had together in the corner of the room, sitting on top of an glass table. The dining room was bigger too, with a larger table and many chairs to fit many people.

Zoe was excited to have a new kitchen to cook in. With the bunch of groceries in her hand, she had placed them away and started to cook for dinner for them long ago, being busy with it. She didn't ask for help, saying that a new home means better cooking ware and she doesn't want anybody else bothering her while she tends to serve her family. Veleria tried to help but was shoved out of the room, curtsy of Catherine who said that Zoe must have her 'me' time. Veleria really wanted to help cook for her new family, and being kicked out of the kitchen multiple times really, really hurt.

Dark sat next to her. He looked at her forehead before shaking his head. He muttered something but she can't seem to catch it. He looked back to the TV, watching in silence with her. After what's seems like hours is actually minutes he spoke.

"I should've guessed you wouldn't be able to dodge that kick." He said. Veleria stared at him for a few seconds then rolled her eyes at him. He was still looking at the TV when she did that. He went quiet to gather his thoughts, pulling up his hand to his hair and shaking his head. "I know I kicked harder than usual but isn't your fault for telling me to give everything I got?"

"I didn't mean it literally." She protested, taking the ice pact off her head and placing it down. She really didn't mean for him to go all out, she was not ready for the sudden change speed he sudden ran with and his attacks were ferocious. She did dodged to her best of her abilities, even conjuring her Scared Gears wings and flew, and it was still not enough. The Hakuryuukou did lose consciousness when he came above and brought his leg up before delivering an ax kick to her forehead. "And you should know that not to take everything seriously." She said after.

He gave a mute nod and then sighed. "I'll try, I know it won't happen right away but I'll try." Veleria nodded and they both watched the TV afterwards.

Ten minutes had passed and Zoe called for lunch. Dark helped Veleria up and they both when to the dining room. They sat down as they both waited patiently for the food to arrive. Zoe came with two plates with three sandwiches and placed them in front of them. She then left to grab another plate with her own food. She joined them in their seats.

"We need a new name for you Veleria." Zoe sudden said.

Veleria looked at her offended. "What's wrong with my name?" She demanded.

"Nothing." Zoe said, taking a bite out of her sandwich. "You need a nickname, something only close family members and friends can call you by."

"Isn't Veleria already easy to say?" Veleria protested.

"Yes, but you need a nickname. Look at me?" Zoe pointed at herself. "My name is short for Zoey. Dark on the other hand..." She pointed her finger at Dark. "Rather be called by the family name, we don't know why but we just do."

Veleria could only gape at her savior. "I've been calling you by your last name?" She asked. Dark nodded.

"I only go by my last name because I rather not be called by my real name." He spoke. He saw the questioning look in her eyes. "Because my name is stupid, it's Kristiand, shorter version is Krist. Don't mistake it for the name Christ with a 'C'."

"I... see..." Veleria muttered. She followed it up with a bite out of her food. "It isn't stupid Dark." She said after a moment of silence.

"It's literally a name that means a Follower of Christ." He replied, emotionless. "And I'm not religious either if you thought I was one." He added.

"Was never going to ask." Veleria shook her head. The topic was changed right away.

"Sooooooo..." Zoe drawled the word, looking straight into Veleria eyes. "What's it going to be?"

"Vela." Dark said. Veleria shook her head. Zoe sent him a question gaze. "What?" He shrugged. "She has four letters instead of seven."

"Seriously?" Both girls looked at him and then shook their heads.

"Veli?" Dark suggested. "No wait... Vali? How about Vali?"

"You just switched her last two letters to her first two 'E's." Zoe accused of him, which made her smile. "Vali..." She tasted the name on her lips. "Yeah!" She grinned happily at Veleria who also sounded it out. "You're a genius Dark!"

"Yeah." Veleria agreed. "I'll go with Vali for my nickname."

Dark wasn't entirely sure how exactly he came up with the names but shrugged and continued to eat along with both girls, smiles on their faces as they ate lunch together. He went back to the conversation about him when he put his plate in the sink.

Kristiand huh? He thought glumly, thinking about his first name. He hated that name. He always went with his family name instead of his birth name. It doesn't mean he will hate it forever, it just came back to haunt him.

"Kristiand? Will we always stay together?" She asked as she hugged him from behind, resting her head on his shoulder. Her lilac hair rested against her back as she watched the city move around in front of them.

"Yes." He replied, smiling at her as he stole a quick peck. She smiled back and playfully boop his nose with her finger. She stood back and stretched.

"Come Kristiand." She said, walking away and deeper into their home. "Dinner is ready and I'd rather eat a warm dinner."

He rolled his eyes and looked back to the city before following her.

"Dark?" Zoe was in front of him and was waving a hand in his face. "Is something wrong?" She was worried. "You were standing there for five minutes and you didn't reply back." Veleria was there too, concerned for his well-being.

Dark shook his head at the memories and said. "Old memories decided to resurface I guess." He had an uneasy expression on his face.

"One of your past life memories?" Zoe guessed easily. Dark nodded and brought a hand to his face.

"Don't worry about it." He said afterwards, turning around to do the dishes that were in the sink. "You girls get ready soon though." He gave a grin. "We are going out today."

"Where to?" Veleria asked, curiosity on her face.

"A surprise..." He uttered to her before tending the dishes.

"Alright then." She shrugged to go get change in her room.

She came back with clothes they have bought for her a couple of months ago. A white shirt with black stripes around the edges of her shirt, blue jeans with her wallet, phone, and keys to her home, and blue sneakers to top it up with. Her hair is a bit messy but was going without something to hold it up. She waited patiently for Zoe to come out of her room. She took a glance at Dark who sat at the table ready for the day. He had a frown on his face, probably thinking about his past again. She turned her head when she heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

There was Zoe with a blue sweater, blue shorts, and white shoes. Her hair is right now a pony tail and when she looked at Dark, he was holding his necklace.

Deciding to make him forget about the necklace, she came around him and poke his shoulder. Dark was brought out of his thoughts and looked at her.

"Time to go?" He asked as he turned his head to look at Vali who was leaning against the wall. She raised her eyebrow. He sighed and stood and walked to the living room where he prepared a magic circle. The three stepped into it and with a destination in Dark's mind, they all disappeared.

Veleria opened her eyes as she looked around her surroundings in wonder. She then shot Dark a questioning glance who entered a store in front of them. She looked up at the stores sign that said 'Ice Cream Parlor.' Her eyes widened and with haste, entered the store. Zoe entered after her with a grin.

Veleria stood in front of the window with the many choices of ice cream to choose from. She looked at each ice cream and decided to go with 'chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream'. She waited for Dark and Zoe to pick their ice cream and Dark paid for Zoe and her ice cream. After paying for the ice cream and grabbing their own ice cream's and spoons, they sat at one of the tables of the shop.

Digging in, her mouth was filled with ice cream flavor goodness and she groaned internally of how good it is.

"Never had ice cream in a long time?" Dark asked as he took a bite out of his own ice cream; vanilla ice cream on top of a cone, Vali noted.

"I've never had ice cream in like, forever!" Veleria happily took a another bite. Oh, the bliss of having ice cream in what seems like years, and for Dark to take her to an Ice Cream Parlor, she could never be anymore grateful for him. Sweet, sweet, delicious ice cream is being devoured by her lips.

Dark had a curious look on his face. "You didn't bother to ask any of us to take you to one?"

"I- uh- didn't think about ice cream at the time?" Veleria stuttered weakly. She continued to eat her ice cream but stopped when Zoe and Dark shared a look. She didn't like the look they both shared, and that nod too. Maybe she is being paranoid.

Zoe spoke this time. "You know, if you really wanted to go somewhere, no one is stopping you, just ask one of us to take you there and we'll gladly take you there. All our schedules are mostly free, we all got nothing to do." Dark nodded along with her words.

"Yeah." Dark agreed, finishing up his ice cream by taking the last couple of bites of his cone. "All of us aren't that busy and like Zoe said, mostly all of us are free, no need to be shy to ask to take you somewhere."

"Eh? Does that mean if I ask to be taken to the Hell, you'll take me there?" Veleria asked. Dark and Zoe's faces grimaced when she said that.

"Yeah we can take you there but we have to take the low profile way. It's only been a couple of months and I'm pretty sure you're still being hunted." Zoe said and spoke with a teasing voice afterwards. "Then again, I'm pretty sure Dark doesn't want to let a certain Satan see him being alive after he died."

Dark's face grimaced even further. "Probably, I don't want Sera to see me being alive after all this time and being born in a different universe. She probably will flash frozen me and then try to kill me."

"You did break up with her, never explaining why you should break up with Serafall in the first place, just you said dying was a part of it and you don't want her to remember you." Zoe spoke sadly. "Anyways, you still can't go to the underworld until everything has cooled down."

"Oh..." Veleria muttered. She didn't think about that. If indeed if her grandfather is still looking for her then problems might arise if she is spotted. "Never mind then. I could always go somewhere else too, just not the underworld."

"Just not the underworld." Zoe agreed with her.

Veleria finished her ice cream and wiped her lips with a napkin. Once done, she threw everything into the trash bin.

Wait a minute... "You dated Serafall Leviathan?!" She exclaimed. She didn't know about that!

"Yeah." Dark grunted. "It went well until I had died and from what I heard, she became a magic girl to try to forget about me." He however sounded sad though. It does sounds like he missed her.

"First love?" Veleria asked.

"Second actually." He said. "The first one broke up with me after I destroyed her city, her people. Everything she sought out to protect was destroyed." He left the Parlor.

"That was the day he lost it." Zoe whispered beside her. "The day he went on a rampage to save her. An event that was forever remembered by the family. He destroyed everything just to save her and when he did, she told him to get away from her, that he was a monster, and he should have never met her in the first place. That event was horrible for him, to us. She was family but threw everything away when her people were killed."

Veleria was afraid to ask. "What was the event called?"

Zoe sighed. "It was called..."

"White."

"W-Why was it called that?"

"It's because he became a monster, he couldn't control his own emotions when she was going to die. He couldn't let her die, not after the times they shared together. So, he became his inner demon, a secret weapon, one we couldn't control nor fight back. No one could survive, not even his enemies. It's said to surpass Gods, the Heavenly Dragons, even Ophis and Great Red. No one could compare to his inner demon."

Veleria, who stared at Dark's back sadly, spoke. "How did he meet Serafall then?"

"He died, being reborn in the Dark family in a different universe. He grew up to be a fine warrior, one who would never back down from a fight. Then, he met Serafall in a city. I wasn't sure how but they ended up with liking each other, to the point that they were dating. Then the wars happened and when he fought God, he died. Serafall's heart broke and from what Dark is saying, became a magic girl to forget about him. Then he was reborn in our home, where he just came out of nowhere and regained his memories after awhile. He grew strong, stronger than before. Regained everything from what the Goddess story he spoke about and came here, found you and living a small happy life."

"I... See..." Veleria said. Wait... Did she just say he died when he fought God? Did they lie about their age? She was brought out of her thoughts when Zoe pulled her.

"Let's go." Zoe said, taking her hand and dragging her towards the door. "I spoke enough about his past and we can't keep him waiting for us too you know?" she sent her a cheeky grin her way. A smile soon filled Veleria lips and walked with her, towards the door and out of the shop.

"I think I have a place in mind." Veleria whispered to herself. Once they both were with the only male who accompanied them, she spoke.

"Hey, Dark?"

Dark looked at her, eyebrow raised.

"Can we go to a Amusement Park?"

Veleria laughed when she saw his face go green. He was holding it in for a really long and it felt great. "I didn't know you hate roller coasters?!" She wiped a tear as she patted his back when he lurched and puked out his stomach into the bin. He gave her a glare when he was done.

"Motion sickness." He replied back, standing when he spitted the rest of his puke out of his mouth.

"Oh? Motion sickness? With your speed and wings? I never had thought you would be with that condition?" She smirked. She never knew he would get sick that easily. He never gotten sick at all for the past couple of months, this is a new surprise for her. But for Dark to get sick only when he is on a moving vehicle... Wait a minute...

"Don't you get sick when you teleport us around?" Veleria asked, losing her smirk.

"No." He shook his head. "I don't get sick but motion sickness? It's still here to haunt me. It never went away when I was a kid."

"Don't you have pills for it?" She asked.

Dark blinked. Once, twice. Then slapped his forehead. "I do... But I left it back home. I didn't know you wanted to go see a amusement park?! I didn't think it about much but then it was too late! Roller Coaster was the first thing you wanted to go to after I gotten us the pass. I was about to say no but Zoe beat me to it and said yes." He blinked again. "Wait, where is Zoe?" He looked around. Veleria joined him too.

That little sneaky woman Zoe is...

The search for Zoe began.

The search ended when they found her in one of the food stand's. She was busy filling up her hot dog on a bun with ketchup. She turned and took a bite out of her hot dog. She slowly munched on it when she saw Veleria and Dark staring at her with blank expressions. She swallowed first then spoke.

"What took you so long?" Zoe asked.

"Where were you?" Dark questioned back. "If you were here and not on the ride me and Vali were on, then perhaps your stomach decided to guide you here instead?"

She pouted. "I was hungry."

"So then your stomach guided you here?"

"Yep!" She took another bite out of her hot dog. "I was hungry and decided to leave." She then had a evil glint in her eye. "Also, to make you lose your lunch."

"What?! Why?!"

"No reason, just to see what would happen if I said yes." She paused to look at Veleria. "Did he vomit?" She asked.

"Yes." Veleria responded.

"Traitor." Dark muttered, scowling at his sister.

Zoe smirked as she stood there with her hand raised in the air.

"You know, puking is a bad sign of health." He stated, frowning.

"I know..." Zoe said, trying to look guilty. He didn't believe it one bit. She finished up her hot dog with her last bite. She then patted both Veleria's and Dark's back, walking pass them. "Let's go, I want to ride some rides."

The day ended with them all riding the rides Veleria and Zoe wanted, ending the day with buying food and leaving once it closed. Vali and Zoe had fun, and for once, Dark had agreed that he had fun too, even if it was an place he dreaded and hated.

Darkness was upon them by the time they got back to their renovated home. All were tired and Veleria decided to go to her room, calling it night. She took off her clothes and took a quick shower. After that was done, she dressed in her sleepwear and gotten into her bed.

She stared at the ceiling, quietly thinking to herself.

To think Dark had destroyed a city. I've never seen him look so sad when he said that. Veleria thought to herself. She never knew what happened to him. To think he would do it to just save one person. To save one person meant that he really loves this woman, even to destroy her city just to save her... The painful memories of her grandfather beating her came into mind. The lost of trust and love as soon he forced her to train her Sacred Gear. The tears that came out of her eyes when she couldn't do it anymore. The way her family treated her back then is all but a past memory, one she will forget.

Then, she turned her thoughts back to when she was told Dark had died from God. To think he was actually that old. Then again, she did say he was reborn again. It's highly unlikely a resurrected being could turn his or hers memories back to their old ones and remember clearly what had happened. But from what Zoe said, it's seems like Dark can do it and his family members could do it.

Her thoughts went back to Dark again.

She turned and flicked the switch on the wall to turn off the lights.

Her eyes adjusted into the darkness. But she closed her eyes as soon she felt the fatigue take her eyes.

Maybe she could try to make Dark happy again.

Maybe...

She woke up with a grunt when she felt the sunlight fell through her blinds. She put her hand in on her face to protect her face from the sunlight. She whined at the lack of sleep she got last night. She woke up multiple times and it was easy to fall asleep the first time, but when the next time she woke up, it was getting harder to sleep every time she decided to stay awake. She took the time to stay there in bed.

Veleria pushed herself up, arms groaning and she winced of how stiff they felt. She went to the bathroom in her room, taking the time to comb her hair and brush her teeth. Smiling at herself in the mirror, she left the bathroom and her room and entered the living room.

One by one, two pairs of eyes eyed her when she came into the room. She winced when she saw the dark spots under Dark eyes, like he never slept in a long time. But Zoe was there talking about anything that might preoccupy his mind.

"Hey Dark, Zoe." Veleria waved at them.

"Hello." Zoe chirped.

Dark grunted.

Veleria frowned.

"Anyways-" Zoe continued. "We could go to the underworld... You know, just to visit?"

Dark deadpanned at her. "Didn't we just talked about how we shouldn't go there at all? Yesterday too?" Zoe however just stared at him.

"Yeah, I know." She said. "B-But, it's the underworld!" She whined.

"We're literally going to Hell if we do this."

"So what?" She waved her left arm casually. "As long Sirzechs or Sera doesn't find out about us, then we're finnneeeee." Zoe drawled the word out.

Dark shrugged his shoulders. "Ok, your funeral."

"Really?!" Zoe eyes glowed with such intensity that Dark just backed away.

"Y-Yeah... Wooooo, we're going to the underworld." Dark sweat dropped.

Zoe gave him a kiss on the cheek and paused to look at Veleria. "You coming?" She asked.

Veleria thought about it for a moment, before shrugging too. "Sure, I've gotten stronger, I'm pretty sure I can defend myself if something goes wrong."

Dark gave her a look. Zoe gave her a frown.

"What?" Veleria was confused.

"You just jinxed us."

"O-Oh..."

"Well, get going, you girls need to change before we could go." Dark said. "I'm already changed."

Both females rolled their eyes at him. Then they both left to go get changed.

Dark sighed.

Veleria just jinxed it.

Sorry for the lack of consistent updates. Life took its time and made me update at a later date.

There we go, some back story for Dark love life, before it ended in a horrific end. It's short, I know, but life still took it's time and hit me in the process. Looks like they are going to the underworld for a visit. But Vali... Oh... She just jinxed the three of them.

Feels bad.

The rating might change, with the plans I have in mind changing. Nothing to drastic, but I might as well enjoy it.

Anyways, I'll try to upload when I can and when I do, it will be about the going straight to hell.
