A/N: Hey guys it has been a while since I have updated, there are reasons mostly cus it's the summer and I haven't been that inspired to write anything, anyway a few things to bring up before you get to the chapter.
First off is my chapters, unless there is something important in the chapter, big fight, plot twist or a lemon/lime if I ever get round to making one they will be short as the last thing anyone wants is a long ass filler chapter that serves no purpose to the story, if you want my chapters to be longer then just either leave a review or pm me, I always get back to them and I love reviews so feel free to.
Here are Haru's pairings as it stands right now, keep in mind that all the pairings are for the most part already sorted these are just the really obvious ones that most of you probably expected so here:
Akeno
Raynare
Sona
The next chapter will be up soon and I hope you guys enjoy it and thanks to everyone that followed and favorited the story you guys are the best, enjoy Ja Ne
Chapter 3
Confessions and a deal struck
"Ok I'll tell them just please stop, that hurts" Haru loosens his grip on Raynare's shoulder, he grunts in annoyance at her childlike whining but otherwise doesn't say anything, when Raynare looks around the room and back at Haru, he cocks an eyebrow an obvious sign, 'get on with it'.
Raynare takes a deep breath, "Ok I was ordered by Azazel-sama to track and observe, Issei Hyodo for a period of time because he believed him to have a strong and powerful Scared Gear, everything was normal, me and my companions set up in the abandoned church on the hill and began to take turns observing Issie-san, for about a week we observed him and took notes on his personality, habits and the leaking power coming from him, after that however, Kokabiel-sama came to us with new orders, "Issie Hyodo posses a significant threat, to the Girgori, he must be eliminated."
Issei pales at the information and the devils in the room frown at Raynare, Haru however seemed to thinking, "That doesn't make sense at all, I know Azazel, in fact I have worked for him several times, and one thing I do know is that he is a pacifist at heart and hates killing for any reason, that perverted old bastards only interests are Scared Gears and women, plus Kokabiel may be a high ranking officer but he doesn't have the authority to change orders that Azazel himself gave out and the old pervert would never send that psycho to deliver a message to one of his teams, that much I do know."
Everybody was now looking at Haru with shocked expressions, it took Haru a few minutes to notice the silence and stop his habit of chewing on his thumbnail when he thinks before seeing everybody's faces, he shrugged his shoulders and said in an annoyed tone, "What?"
Raynare answered shaking and still slightly shocked, "You, you worked for Azazel-sama but you're just a human. How can that be?!" Haru's expression turns to an annoyed one as he just realised that he shouldn't have let that particular information slip off his tongue, "Jezz alright, I am a mercenary for the hire, I have worked for all the factions at one time or another and all I have to say is that every high ranker in all the factions are weirdoes with extremely strange habits or quirks."
At that declaration everybody except Issei was about to shout at Haru and argue back when they stopped and actually pictured their leaders in their minds, Azazel, Sirzechs, Serafall being the main offenders, before everyone sweatdropped and nodded and proceeded to become fascinated with the floor. Haru laughs openly at their embarrassment.
Rias finally realised what he had said and decided to bring him up on it. "Wait you said you were a mercenary? Then what are you doing here at the Academy." 'Damn, Sirzechs ordered me not to reveal that I was hired to protect her, come on Haru use that brain of yours, Aha that is it' Haru's mouth forms into a smug smile, "I was hired by Azazel to investigate Raynare and her merry little band, he figured that their was a traitor in his ranks and was turning some of his men rouge, now that Raynare has confirmed that it seems to be Kokabiel, I can report in to him and proceed to shut down Raynare's cell."
Raynare looks up in shock, "What do you mean shut us down, your going to kill us aren't you!" Haru raises his hands in the universal gesture to calm down, "Relax, as much as I hate Fallen Angels, I'm not without mercy, if your comrades surrender peacefully then I will let them go and hand them over to Azazel same as you Raynare."
Raynare lets out a sigh of relief, Haru looks around the room and spots Issei, "Ah Issei so you made it then, sorry you probably don't have a clue what we are talking about do you?" Issei shakes his head and Haru looks at Rias and cocks his eyebrow, "You gona fill him in or am I going to have to do it?"
Rias deeply sighs and fills Issei on the situation that he finds himself in, caught between two of the major supernatural factions, one wanting him dead or at the least being observed carefully and the other her faction, the devils that wanted to recruit him and turn him into a devil, Issei looked nervous as he looked between Raynare and Rias, indecision clear on his face before Haru decides to do Rias a favour for dropping in uninvited.
"Issei if you become a devil and rise through the ranks you can legally get a harem of girls." Those words hit Issei like a tone of bricks, it took a second for his brain to reboot and process what Haru had just said, as soon as he had, he jumped in the air yelling, "I want to be a devil, turn me right now!"
Haru shakes his head as everybody in the room sweatdrops at Issei's response, 'So predictable' Rias walks toward Issei and instructs him to lay down and take off his shirt, he does blushing the whole time, Rias takes out a Pawn piece and inserts it into him, after a few seconds of nothing happening she frowns and keeps adding more and more Pawn pieces until she had used all of them, then Issei was encompassed in a red glow that took up his whole body, when it died down he had a faint magic signature and devil, bat like wings sticking out of his back.
Rias nods her head, "I'll take him home and bath him in my magic energy to speed in the process and get his body more use to magic, Haru-san and Raynare you are free to go and thank you for bringing this information to me, maybe we could work together to root out the traitor, if he is looking to start a war then we must do all that we can to prevent it."
Haru nods his head, "Agreed, I'll keep in touch, Raynare you are coming with me." Raynare nods her head and walks out with Haru back to his house.
Haru's house
"Welcome to my humble abode Raynare, do try not to blow it up as I would hate to have to pay to repair the damn thing" Haru's voice is literally dripping with sarcasm and contains a very cold and sharp tone to it, something Raynare picks right up on, "What's your problem with me or my race, yes I tried to kill your friend but I was just following orders, false orders but still orders."
Haru turns to face Raynare his emerald green eyes gleaming like a fire had been lit behind them his expression murderous, Raynare backs off as flames unintentionally ignite around Haru, his emotions going crazy, "You don't get the right to ask that question crow, as far as I'm concerned your kind are just at the top of my shitlist just behind Stray Devils, so shut your mouth if you know what's best for ya ok."
Raynare shivers both from the power and ice cold tone coming from him, his eyes unsettle her, something in them latches onto her heart and curiosity and refuses to let go, suddenly it clicks in her head, he is posturing much like she used to when ever the higher ups would ridicule her, he uses his anger as a way to escape his pain.
'What on earth happened to you to make you act this way?' Raynare suddenly caught herself on and shook her head to clear her thoughts, 'What is wrong with me, this is the guy that burned my wings, kicked my ass, tortured and threatened me, so why do I care about him?'
Raynare shakes off her thoughts and asks the obvious question, "Where am I going to sleep?" Haru grunts and motions her to follow him, they head upstairs and he opens a door, "This will be your room for the time being, I have set the alarm to wake you up early in the morning, since you are an ally, although a temporary one at the moment, I am going to train you up a bit because quite frankly. You suck."
Haru slams the door shut before Raynare can respond to his comments and walks back to his room and collapses on his bed, exhausted he covers his eyes with his arm, 'Mom, Grandpa I wonder what you would think of me right now, the choices I have made, the anger that I still carry, I wonder if you are watching me from up there and if you are I wonder if you are smiling.'
Haru's dream
"Ne ne Haru-chan!" I look round at my best friend, still dressed in that shrine maiden outfit, obviously she just came from practising with her mother, she's is blushing and seems to be nervous.
"What's up Aka-chan." Aka-chan my little pet name for her, it never ceases to make her angry and make her puff her cheeks out, I think its cute so that's why I do it, "Moh I told you not to call me that meanie, Baka!"
I hold in my laughter at her expression and rub her head affectionately, "Ok seriously what's up Akeno-chan?" Akeno-chan rubs the sole of her foot several times through the snow gathered on the steps and refuses to meet my eyes, she takes a deep breath and looks up me, her expression completely serious and hopeful.
"Ne would you, hate me if I was different Haru-chan?" Haru laughs slightly and shakes his head, "Aka-chan, baka, there is nothing that would make me hate you, I promise." Akeno smiles and her Fallen Angel wing unfurls itself from her back, my heartbeat speeds up, bile rises in my throat, I can barely breath, those wings, those accursed black wings, Aka-chan?
Darkness claims me yet again, the last thing I see, is a panicked Aka-chan screaming.
Haru wakes up with a start his heart thumping against his chest, sweating, taking a quick look around the room to confirm where he was, he sighs in relief and wipes off the sweat from his forehead, 'It's been a while since I have had that dream. I never really apologised to her for that and the next day I left, she must think terribly of me but I… no I am not going to make excuses, I left for my own selfish reasons and I hurt my only friend in the process. I'm a terrible person and a coward as well, there is no way and nothing I can do to make it up to her or to rebuild the bridge I burned that day.'
'Haha another sin to add to my already growing pile, I'm really am pathetic.' Haru shakes his head to dispel the thoughts scratching around in it and looks at his alarm clock, 8am, "Perfect Raynare should just be getting up right now, I might as well be a good host cook some breakfast and if she doesn't like it then I'll train her til she drops!"
Haru walks downstairs and starts to make a decent breakfast of bacon and eggs, enough for both him and Raynare, as he was setting the table he heard the alarm going off and Raynare slamming it to shut it off and cursing up a storm, he smirks and finishes setting the table, "Raynare, I've made some breakfast, come on down once you are ready."
An hour, it took a whole freaking hour for Raynare to come down the stairs, her hair still wet from the water of the shower, Haru's eyebrow is twitching a lot as he watches her walk down the stairs, grunting in annoyance, he breathes his flames at the bacon and eggs to heat them up so that he would have to waste more of his food on this ungrateful crow.
She sits down at the table and Haru drinks in her appearance, her choice in clothing is totally different from before, maybe it is just because she is just out of the shower, but she is only wearing a plain white t-shirt and a pair of denim shorts that cling to her thighs, giving Haru a very delightful view of her milky white long legs, his eyes slowly move upward drinking in her very impressive figure and her body, her hips, flat stomach, large breasts and her very beautiful face and long wet hair, as Raynare takes another bite of food time slows down giving Haru a very nice sight of her mouth slowly covering her fork and her moaning in delight. Haru shakes his head as his brain finally processes that he is checking out someone he was fighting to the death with not just a couple of hours ago.
Fighting down his blush Haru talks to Raynare, "I'm going downstairs to prepare the training room, meet me down there once you are finished and we will begin and make sure you eat everything because we won't be stopping until dinner or if I'm feeling a little generous lunch."
Raynare's eyes widen in shock, more so at his tone of voice, it isn't as cold as before and he actually seems to be making an effort to make her feel at least a little bit welcome in his home.
Training room
The training room itself was a plain white room that covered a large space in the basement looking like the kind of white padded room you would find in an insane asylum, one thing about it thought was that I wasn't as it seemed, in fact the room itself was actually a permanent pocket dimension, anchored to the basement, one that Haru had been taught how to manipulate to his pleasure, so in once Raynare arrived down in the training room in a simple gym outfit Haru activated his magic and focused his mind on what kind of environment he wanted the dimension to change to.
In an instant the room warped into a desert outcrop with tones of rocks around, "Raynare I will now go over your weaknesses that I learned from our little fight yesterday." Haru closes his eyes and slowly recounts the events of the fight yesterday, seeing every attack, movement and obvious weakness in a clarity few people are capable of.
"First, you rely too much on your wings to give you the advantage in combat; if you were to face someone more accustomed to aerial combat such as myself you would be crushed without a doubt. Second you only seem to have one method of attack and that is constantly spamming and throwing your light spears at high speed and hoping to hit the target, this is a huge glaring weakness Raynare. Finally your temperament, you get angry too quickly and it affects your judgement, you are too easily riled up and that makes it easier for someone to lead you into a trap or a position that they want, in short because of your quick temper you are easy to manipulate."
Raynare looked on shocked at this man that just pointed out every weakness with brutal efficiency, he didn't hold anything back her wounded pride be dammed, Raynare slowly sinks into depression at every word that comes out of Haru's mouth, a black rain cloud forms over her head and starts to rain over her head, Haru opens his eyes and sees Raynare crouched over poking a finger in the sand and a rain cloud over her head, 'How the hell did that happen? What the fuck is up with that rain cloud?'
Haru coughs into his hand and shakes Raynare out of her slump, "Now that we have that out of the way I have a few questions for you Raynare if you don't mind answering them?" Raynare nods her head and Haru smiles a little at her.
"Ok now I know that Fallen Angels and the normal Angels are used to throwing light spears, however, have you ever thought of changing the power and forming different things like swords or bows?" Raynare thinks about this and thinks back on all her training, the entire time all they focused on were aerial acrobatics and throwing spears, no mention of expanding their holy powers, "No as far as I know no one has ever tried to expand their powers further than the various spear forms."
Haru smirks and looks frustrated, "Ok Raynare form a light spear." Raynare forms her light spear and holds it out for him to inspect just like her instructors had used to, "Ok Raynare you can form them quickly, although this time I want you to halt the process at creating the spear, just focus the power and halt it before it forms into the spear."
Raynare hold her palms out forward and begins the process, in a few seconds a pulse of light forms between her hands and it turns into a large light floating in her hands, it seems harmless but Haru can feel the destructive power behind it. "Ok good now try to form it into something simply like a dagger." Raynare focuses and the light glows even more brightly and shifts forms to a small glowing pink dagger floating in mid air between her hands, Raynare grabs it and looks at it in distain, Haru notices this and shakes his head, "Don't look at your weapon like that Raynare, think about what you have there in your hand, a dagger, a small light weapon that is hard to see and easy to conceal, now think what would happen if you used it in your spears place, it is smaller, lighter and harder to track, even I would have a hard time dodging something the size of that if it was thrown at the same speed as your spears."
Raynare perks up after hearing that and looks at the small weapon in a whole new light, Haru looks at her and smiles, "Look just because it doesn't have the destructive power of a spear doesn't mean that it is useless, there are multiple ways to fight and kill opponents, straight out trying to kill with one shot is just one way others include, killing with bug bites, weaker attacks that wear down your enemy and make it easier to get that fatal blow and my favourite stealth and hit 'n' run tactics that is my primary fighting style anyway."
Raynare looks a little confused but otherwise nods her head, Haru looks around the training ground, "Raynare do me a favour and throw that dagger at that rock there I want to see how powerful it is." Raynare looks puzzled but faces the rock and throws the dagger one handily; the dagger sails through the air faster than the eye could follow until it impacts into the rock, the rock implodes and the dagger travels completely through it and buries itself in the sand behind it.
Haru cocks an eyebrow at the impressive destructive power of such a tiny dagger, while Raynare's jaw hits the floor. "Hmm seems you do have a lot of power Raynare it is just being wasted being formed into those oversized spears of your, I don't know who trained you or if you learned by trial and error but I am going to have to ask to forget most of what you have learned up til this point, you are geared more toward direct combat and each attack you throw does have the potential to be a kill shot, its just the method that you are using that is the problem."
Raynare pales and drinks in every word Haru is saying, "Hmm I think it would be best if we start by mastering your daggers, teaching you new skills and abilities with them and then proceeding on to another weapon that way you can retain the destructive power available to you and master you weapons and skills at the same time, sound good?"
Raynare nods her head and smiles, however that quickly fades as soon as Haru's fists erupt into flames and he grins at Raynare making her tremble. "Great so here is what we are going to be doing. I am going to be in the air and throwing low level fire spells at you. You are going to dodge them and throw those daggers at me, if I see you even try to make a spear I will char your ass understand?"
Haru's smile widens and he closes his eyes to add to the creepiness level, making Raynare go pale white in the face before she can open her mouth she leaps to the side to avoid the fireball barrelling toward her face, lands into a roll and throws the a newly made dagger at an airborne Haru who boosts to the side to dodge it before throwing a literal hail of fireballs at Raynare.
She dodges everything by the skin of her teeth and begins to run around the training field dodging fireballs while Haru laughs his ass off at her, "You're a fucking insane sadistic bastard!" Haru chuckles evilly, "My dear innocent pupil, if you aren't being tortured to body and mind breaking proportions then you aren't being trained properly and well I did learn from the best after all, now Dodge!" Haru laughs manically at Raynare whilst still throwing fireball after fireball, lazily dodging every dagger that gets thrown at him all the while Raynare was cursing up a storm at her mad in the head temporary sensei.
ORC Clubroom
Akeno suddenly froze in place a very erotic shiver ran up her spin hitting all her most sensitive spots and makes her space out into a lust induced day dream that had every other member in the room including the newly inducted Issei, shivering in fear and rapidly trying to find someone or something to keep their attention off the blushing, drooling, giggling sadist, everybody in that room could agree on one thing though, Maou help the man or woman that receives the attention of the Ultimate Sadist that made her this horny.
