Welcome to my Hell
I definitely feel like this is turning into a Rias shaming story, but oh well.
NOTE: I DO NOT OWN HIGHSCHOOL DXD, ONLY MY OC, EVERYTHING ELSE IS OWNED BY Ichiei Ishibumi
NOTE: Stop asking for longer chapters. The length I put a chapter at is what I put it at, and it may just have a reason
ENJOY!
"Put some work into those legs. The longer you take, the less time you have for training." Kai yelled from at the top of the mountain. Kai looked down at the entire Gremory peerage. They were filled with sweat, even Rias, who Kai forced to go up the mountain by foot instead of teleporting.
"Why aren't you walking up as well?" Rias asked angrily.
"I walked back and forth up the entire mountain 5 times before you guys got here, so don't think I didn't do anything. Now quit whining, princess. If you wanna have any form of hope at defeating the Phenex, you'll listen to me. Or do you want the forced marriage?" Kai asked in a teasing way, making Rias glare at him.
The order of who came to the top goes like this: Issei, Akeno, Kiba, Koneko, Asia, and finally Rias, who had slowed down, allowing the others to pass by her. As she finally reached the top, Kai stood up from the rock he was sitting on.
"Alright everyone, go get changed and then come out back, we get started immediately." Kai could tell some wanted to groan and complain, but they held it in. Kai looked over at Rias, who sat down on a rock. Kai shook his head with a sigh.
He used his power over shadows to push her up and off the rock, hands coming out from the rock. Rias instantly looked at Kai, who was looking right back.
"No resting, get your ass in there, change, then get out back. If you take longer than 5 to 10 minutes, then you'll be put through worse training then I already have prepared. Understand that I'm not here as a friend, I'm here as an instructor, someone who doesn't give a crap about your feelings, and if you can't handle that or this training, then accept the marriage." Kai said, as he walked off.
As he got to the back, he summoned Dusk, who had grown greatly, no longer a small pup, but a mighty full grown husky. As he played a bit with Dusk, he saw people slowly walk out. As they had gotten out, Kai noticed Rias was still not out.
"Where's Gremory?" He asked.
"She's still changing, said her legs were straining." Akeno explained. Kai shook his head in disappointment, as they continued to wait for Rias. As she walked out, Kai stared her down.
"Nice of you to finally join us, princess. It's been 15 minutes, you know what that means."
"What could you possibly do to me."
"Dusk." Kai called over his companion, who sat at his side.
"Your dog? What's he gonna do?" Rias asked with a small laugh. As Kai snapped his fingers, Dusk seemed to start changing. His fur turned black from grey and white, as it also changed wild. His teeth grew sharper than before, as he seemed to grow. Before there very eye's, Dusk grew 2 more heads
"Meet the other side of Dusk, otherwise known as..."
"A Cerberus!?" Rias shouted in shock, as the now 20 feet tall three headed dog barred it's teeth. One of it's heads leaned down, growling at Rias.
"Calm, Dusk." Kai said sternly, as the head went back up.
"So this whole time...Dusk was a Cerberus, but how?" Akeno asked in confusion.
"I found him in a forest when I was young and still training. I had healed him, and he decided to stay by my side ever since. I decided if I wanna take him around, he needs a different form, so I made his Husky form, which also hides his power." Kai explained, petting one of the heads that leaned down next to him.
Kai looked back at Rias, who looked petrified.
"So Rias, still wondering what my 'Dog' can do? So here's how it'll work, I want all of you to come at me with the intention to kill, trust me I can handle it. This next part is solely for Rias, if you try to take a break without my permission, then he'll be right there to stop it. Whoever stays up the longest wins."
"What's the purpose of this?" Akeno asked.
"To see where you all stand so I can get a grip on where to go with each and every one of you. Fair enough sweet cheeks?" Kai answered, making Akeno blush slightly with his comment at the end. "Remember, come at me with the intention to kill. If you can't do that with even me, you won't stand a chance against Riser and his peerage. Everyone ready?"
They all nodded.
"3...2...1...GO!" Kai prepared himself, his chains slipping out from his palms and wrapping around his fists. The first to reach him was, of course, Kiba, using his speed.
'Hmm...fast, but not fast enough to where I can't follow his movements." Kai said, dodging Kiba's strike. Kai continued to dodge, as Koneko reached him neck, throwing a precise strike to his stomach.
Kai sensed it coming, as one of his eye's turned slit. He used his other hand to grasp her hand, as Akeno took to the skies.
"ow you're trapped!" She exclaimed, sending thunder down. Kai smirked before it hit him. The explosion was very big, as smoke filled the area. The smoke cleared, showing Kai not their.
"Did you already forget." He said, as he was no where in sight. "Shadows are my weapon." He said, appearing between Kiba and Koneko, uppercutting Koneko, before throwing a roundhouse kick at Kiba, knocking them both down.
He sensed Issei coming, his Boosted Gear readied. Kai turned to him, as Issei threw a punch, which surprising to the others, connected. Kai slid back, stopping himself just in time. Then everyone saw Kai's face.
"What the hell...?" Issei asked. Where Issei's fist was, Kai's cheek looked like it was iron.
"I'm still full of surprises." Kai said with a sly smirk. His hands turned into a metal shield once connected to one another, as he blocked thunder from Akeno, the attack bouncing off of the iron made shield.
He moved his right arm, as that part of the shield blocked Rias' power of destruction. As he looked at her, she already seemed tired.
'So she doesn't know how to control the power, and has little stamina, definitely not good for her.' Kai thought, as she had fell to a knee. Dusk was already there, using his tail to lift her up back on her feet. As she turned to look at him, he growled at her.
"Come on, Ise, show me the effects of your training." Kai said, as his arms turned back to normal. Issei nodded with a smirk, as he ran back at Kai. The two went at it in a fist fight, throwing haymakers and kicks. Both were dodging as best they could, as Akeno and Rias decided to work together.
They combined their powers, before launching it at the battling friends. Both saw it. Issei jumped away, as Kai took a stance.
"What's he doing?" Akeno asked, watching from above.
Before her very eye's, Kai kicked the giant orb back at the two women, making them dodge, as it hit a tree, destroying at least twenty of them. Kai looked at it, noting it in his head.
'So if they combine their attacks, it could do some major damage. Might wanna keep than in mind for the Rating Game.' Kai thought, as his arms turned into hammers
"I think that's enough from you two." He launched himself in the air, as shadow made wings came up from his back. He appeared before in them in a second, shocking them, as he sent a hammer each in their stomachs, sending them crashing down into the ground. As the smoke cleared from the area, both were knocked out from the impact, but Kai had gotten enough info for the both of them.
Kai turned to Issei, who was the last standing. Both smirked at each other, before they continued their fist fight.
"Dragon Shot!" Issei shouted, shooting out the small, yet dangerous, red orb. Kai's arms turned into shields once again, as he blocked the attack. He disappeared from sight, appearing behind Issei. Due to his training, Issei felt his presence, throwing a precise punch, as Kai grabbed it at the last second.
'Definitely a lot more power than when we first started training, good.' Kai thought, as he sent a kick at Issei, who dodged by moving back. Before Issei could comprehend it, Kai's speed increased, as he sent a nasty punch into Issei's gut, making him double over.
"I suppose that's enough for today. I've got plenty of info for each of you. Spend a few hour resting, and we'll get back to it. Once you hear Dusk howl, that's your cue to come back" Kai said, as he walked off. Everyone got up into a sitting position, holding a certain part of their body.
"That's not what I was expecting." Kiba said with a groan, holding his stomach.
"He's definitely stronger than he lets on." Akeno commented, as she also held her stomach from the iron hammer. Koneko rubbed her jaw, after the impactful uppercut, as Issei shook off the pain, trying to hide it. As for Rias, she was looking down at her hands, thinking to herself.
~~~4 Hours Later~~~
For the past 4 hours, everyone was doing something. Kiba was thinking up ways to fight with his swords, Koneko was boxing, Akeno was reading more on magic, Issei was still training, practicing his Sacred Gear out front. As for Rias...she was still sat in her room, still thinking to herself.
'Am I really this weak...this...helpless...'
She was brought out of her thoughts, as everyone in the house heard Dusk howl, signaling training. As everyone walked out back, they saw Kai, Dusk, and another person.
He had long silver hair, reaching the bottom of his neck, and bright blue eye's. He was wearing a military like training suit, along with a leather jacket over it.
"Who is this?" Akeno asked.
"Christian!" Issei said as he recognized the man.
"Nice to see you again Ise, glad to see you're doing well."
"Guys, this is my Uncle, Christian, and he's here to help your training." Kai introduced the man. "I realize if I were to train all of you myself, it would take too long, so I asked my Uncle for some help. For the next 2 weeks, we'll be switching between you all. Today, I'll Kiba, Akeno, and Issei, while Christian will have Koneko, Asia, and Rias. Tomorrow, we switch, and it'll continue that way every day.
"The three named, please step forward." Christian said, as the three ladies stepped up. Christian looked them all over.
"Just so you know, Chris, Asia isn't a fighter, she's a healer, so don't try to teach her that type of stuff, just help her learn more about her Sacred Gear." Kai stated.
"Dully noted. We'll be going out front, so come with me. Our training will be done by 7, before we have dinner. Who's cooking throughout these two weeks?"
"I'll be making all meals." Kai said before anyone else spoke up.
"All by yourself, maybe you should get someone to help you out, just in case."
"I have no problem helping cook." Akeno stated.
"Perfect. We'll stop training for you three at 6 so Akeno and I can start on dinner, sound good?" Issei and Kiba nodded to Kai's words, as Chris, Rias, Koneko, and Asia left for the front of the building. Kai turned to the other three with a small smile on his face.
"Alright, first things first, we'll talk about where you all are. First, Kiba." Kai turned to the night. "During the fight, you of course used your speed, but that speed wasn't enough. I was still able to follow your movements, so that's one of the things we'll work on, is your speed. As well as your speed, we'll work on your sword skill. You definitely have skill with a sword, but I've seen better, so we'll improve that as well."
Kiba simply nodded.
"Next, Akeno. You're obviously a user of magic, so that's what we'll work on, as well as, one other thing, but we'll talk about that in private. You use thunder mostly, so we'll work on that, but it never hurts to learn more, so we'll also work on water magic and fire magic. That alright with you?" Kai asked.
"Yes, more magic would ever hurt." Akeno stated with her signature smile.
"Alright, and finally, Ise. From what we've been doing for the past couple of weeks, I think it's best we keep up with it. If there are any changed throughout the two weeks, we'll change it up a bit."
"Sounds good to me." Issei said with determination.
"Alright, let it be known now, that this will only get more difficult from this point forward. I won't go easy on any of you, not even if we're friends." He said looking at Issei, then Akeno. "Nor the past we have with each other. I will push you all to your limits, and even past those limits, just as I was once trained. If you feel like your bodies are about to break, then I'll only push you harder. If you feel like you're about to die, then I'll give you a small pat on the back and tell you to get back up. I'm not here to be a friend, I'm here to whip you all into shape, it all depends on whether you all wish to grow stronger, or want to be the laughing stock of the Gremory family. Do I make myself clear."
All three nodded their heads, determination clear on their faces.
"Seeing as how you lot don't seem to workout your body, that's what we'll start with. Any complaints?" Kai asked, all three staying silent. "Good, because I would have made you do them either way. We'll be starting with a basic workout, 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, 11 squats, and a 100 kilometer run. Don't worry, I'll be doing them with you all. Our run will be up and down the same path we took up the mountain 10 times. Ready...go!"
And so the four started, push ups, then sit ups, then squats, and ending with the run. This was the exact thing Kai had to do when he first started training, so he was quite used to this type of thing now. The other three could definitely say they were tired, feeling sweat fall down their faces, and their lung searching for more air.
"Everyone okay? Great, let's get back to it." Kai said, not even waiting to hear there responses. They weren't going to argue with him, as they all walked back to the backyard with him, dragging their exhausted legs with them. Kai turned to them, seeing them all still trying to pull themselves together. 'If I gave you all a break, then you wouldn't be able to handle pain in a battle. So we must continue. Next thing up...one on one battles with me. Just like before, come at me with the intention to kill. Kiba, you're up."
~~~6:00 PM~~~
"Alright, Kiba, Ise, keep practicing out here, Akeno will call you in when the foods done." The two men nodded, as they continued to spar, as Akeno and Kai walked back inside. "So, potatoes, noodles, and what else?" Kai asked, as he and Akeno stepped into the kitchen.
"Well we'll need some onions and spices for the steaks." Akeno stated, pulling out a few small bottles of spices.
"Alright, I'll work on the noodles and potatoes then."
After half an hour, Akeno called over Kai.
"What's up?"
"Here, taste this really quick." She held up a spoon filled of gravy for the steak. Kai allowed his mouth to near the spoon, as Akeno allowed the gravy to enter. Kai savoured the favor, giving out a satisfied moan.
"Very delicious, Akeno. You'd make a wonderful wife." Kai said, barely noticing Akeno's deepened blush. He smirked once he saw it, as he stood up straight. "But, yes, it was very delicious, good work." Kai said, going back to his side of the kitchen. Akeno watched him for a second, watching him throw in ingrediants and mix them together. She shook her head, before turning back to the steaks.
Soon, the next half hour went by, and everyone was in the dining room, as Kai and Akeno placed the plates of food in the middle of table. Everyone took their time and turns getting their plates of food, as everyone sat down. Everyone could definitely feel pain running through the bodies, except for Asia, Kai, and Christian. Asia because she was only learning healing magic, and Kai and Christian were used to this type of stuff.
"So, Uncle Chris, how are those three doing?" Kai asked, asking of Rias, Koneko, and Asia.
"For Asia, she's already learning new techniques for healing, as well as learning to heal those far away, basically to where she doesn't have to touch them."
"Good for you Asia." Kai said, giving the former nun a smile with his praise. Asia smiled back, placing a piece of potato in her mouth.
"Koneko has been getting stronger in her punches and kicks, but her speed is yet to increase. Of course, it's only the first day, so we still have 13 days for her speed to increase, and I believe we get their if we take certain measures." Christain stated, as Kai looked towards Koneko, She looked back at him.
"I can tell you'll improve, Koneko. I'll need to talk to you about something in private tomorrow, so meet me in the morning." Koneko simply nodded, as Kai turned back to Christian.
"As for Rias Gremory." Christian sighed, taking a bite of food. "Her use of the Power of Destruction has gotten stronger, but she still can't control it, and uses all stamina within one use of it. If I didn't have Dusk force her up, she would have had a break, but I know you said no breaks unless given by yourself or myself." Kai was displeased with the given information. He didn't even bother talking to her, he simply finished his meal and walked out.
"You alright, kid?" Christian asked.
"Quite fine alright, but I think it's best I handle the rest of Rias' training. Over time I learned that you need to be much more strict with certain people, and I already know what needs to be done." Kai said with sadistic type of tone in his voice. "Koneko, just remember to meet me in the forest in the morning, preferably 5 in the morning. I won't take no for an answer, especially after hearing this news."
Kai took himself a towel, and decided to take a dip in one of the personal baths. He sat in the water thinking to himself, as he looked down at his body, looking over the many scars across his body. He then looked down at his forearms, the bruises looking like chains. He clenched his hands tightly, tight enough to draw blood, before he felt arms around his neck. He looked over, before a small smile appeared on his face.
"Wasn't expecting to see you here." He said.
"What? Can't visit my favorite man?" The woman asked, as she entered next to him in the water.
"If your father heard that, he would be pretty upset." Kai said with a laugh, as the woman giggled, leaning into his side.
"I don'r worry, he knows I love him, no matter how hard I am on him. I've been seeing what's been happening all day. You must be pretty stressed, so let me help you out~" The woman slowly rubbed her chest against Kai's, lookign directly into his eye's. "Does it feel good?"
"Of course it does." Kai said, as he leaned back into the wall of the bath.
"I would think the descendant of ********* and the son of ****** would have lost his temper a lot sooner, but that Gremory just seems to keep pushing." The woman said, as Kai gave off a sigh.
"As much as she says she doesn't wish to marry Riser Phenex, she's not putting in that much of an effort to stop it." Kai said with annoyance clear in his voice. The woman gave off a laugh, as she cupped his chin with her thumb and pointer finger, making him look directly at her.
"I wouldn't let her get to you too bad. Besides, this marriage doesn't have anything to do with you. Just do the best you can with this training for them, and then leave them to their match with Riser Phenex." The woman stated, as Kai nodded in agreement.
"Of course, it all depends on whether or not they want to grow stronger or not. Who knows, maybe I'll show a bit more of my power."
"Whatever you choose to do, Kai, it'll be best. I must go now, but we'll keep in touch." The woman placed her hand on Kai's cheek, placing a kiss on his other, to which the young man smiled. The woman's clothes appeared, before she teleported away, making sure her power didn't become known to the others in the house. Kai looked up at the cieling, before shaking his head.
"Probably best if I get out now." Kai said, standing up from the water. He dried himself off, before heading off to his room, ready to get some sleep.
~~~6 Days Later~~~
Kai blocked a Power of Destruction.
"That's really all you have, Gremory? I'm sickened to think the heiress could be this weak." Kai said with disgust, Rias breathed in heavily. Right now, Kai was giving Rias personal one on one training, as Christian trained the rest for the day.
"Our main focus has been controlling your powers and stamina, it's been a week, and there has been no progress. For someone, such as yourself, who says they don't wish to marry Riser Phenex, you aren't putting in that much to stop it. Maybe you secretly like the idea of marrying him, but feel like you need to put up this protective wall to keep your ego in touch. Is that it, or do you just not care for your own life?" Kai kept pushing the buttons, as Rias was growing angrier and angrier.
Kai could see her shoulders heaving up and down.
"Oh? Are you growing in anger? Maybe that's how it works for you. The only way you can grow stronger or use your full power is with emotions. I promise you now, using your emotions as a source of strength will get you no where but dead. I had to learn that the hard way. Who knows, maybe your existence is meant to end early, because this world would be better off without you." Kai kept pushing, as Rias' aura kept growing.
"Shut...up..." Rias mumbled angrily.
"With you gone from this world, no one in this town will have to be hurt for your foolishness. Or maybe you wish to be the slut of Riser and many other men, because that's all you be good at with this pathetic excuse of power." Kai pushed further, her aura growing again.
"Shut up." She said a bit louder.
"At this point, your life is as meaningless as your power, because it's not even there."
"SHUT UP!" Rias screamed at the top of her lungs. Kai smirked at the sight, as her aura sky rocketed to the skies. Rias glared down at Kai, who seemed calm. "YOU WANT POWER!? I'LL SHOW YOU POWER! TAKE THIS!" Rias screamed, as she grew a large a much larger sphere of Power of Destruction. Kai chuckled at the sight, as Rias sent the orb at Kai.
Before she could process it, Kai kicked the orb up into the sky, making it explode there, and before she could see, Kai sent a powerful roundhouse kick at Rias' stomach, sending her flying into several tree's. The smoke from the explosion in the sky cleared, showing Kai standing there, hands in his pockets.
"Once again pathetic. I'll tell you once more, using your emotions to bring forth your true power will only get you killed, nothing more, nothing less. Reflect on this day, and I'll see you again tomorrow. I won't lie when I say I'm disgusted with what I saw today. Get yourself cleaned up, I'll be checking on the others for now. Make yourself useful, and make dinner for today." Kai then started to walk off, as Rias slowly lifted her battered and bruised body, her left eye closed from the pain, as she winced from the feeling in her body.
As Kai was headed to the front of the house, he was thinking back on the talk he had with Koneko a few days back.
Flashback
"So what're we here for?" Koneko asked, as she sat on a rock, Kai leaning against a tree, as they looked out at the rest of the forest down below.
"We need to discuss your training. Specifically your other powers, the one you hide from others." Koneko showed a somewhat shocked expression on her face. "You can't hide that from someone like me, who has learned to read aura's. So tell me, why do you hide it?" Kai asked.
"Because I don't wish to become like her. My big sister. She grew drunk on power. The only reason she lives is because Riser took her in before she could be killed." Koneko explained.
"Didn't you see her in the clubroom. She didn't look drunk on power to me. Her aura looked calm, yet strong. She didn't seem battle crazy or power hungry from her aura. Tell me, is that really the only reason you don't use that power. Because if it isn't, then you need to get over this fear of being drunk on power."
"I can't..." Koneko mumbled. Kai sighed, as he sat down next to her, showing a different side of himself, as he pulled Koneko into a hug. Koneko was a bit shook at first from it, but ultimately fell into it.
"Yes you can, I know you can. You may not see it, but I can see how much potential you have. Besides, if you ever feel like you're becoming drunk on power, Issei or I will be there to stop it, okay? You don't need to be afraid anymore, because I'll be here. Think of me as...a big brother." Koneko blushed at his comments.
"Okay..."
"Huh?"
"I'll use it...I'll use my nekoshou powers." Koneko said quietly, as the two continued to stare out at the rising sun and forest below. "Kai...thank you..."
"Trust me. I come off as an asshole, not only back at the Clubroom in certain situations, as well as yesterday, but I know when I should be a bit more concerning. I knew this was eating you up inside, so I needed you to get over that fear, so that you may grow stronger and reach your full potential." Kai stated.
"I can see it...your kindness...Can we stay like this a bit longer?" Koneko asked.
"Sure, if that's what you need."
Flashback End
Kaii reached the front of the building, seeing everyone else sparring Christian. He looked at Koneko directly, seeing her having her Neko ears and tail out, putting a smile on his face. He watched from the side with Asia, as they all did their best to hit Christian. The lot of them had definitely grown stronger. Akeno, Kiba, Koneko, Issei, and Asia had all grown, and Kai was proud, but he knew there was more potential in them all. Plus, there was still an entire week of training, so he didn't have much to worry about.
"Asia, be ready to heal them all afterwards, okay?" Kai said, the former nun nodding with a smile.
"Okay, Kai." She said with glee. Kai simply smiled and ruffled her hair, as he turned back to the action. "How was Rias' training?" Asia asked, Kai's expression turning sour.
"Not so good." Asia looked down, but Kai placed a hand on her shoulder. "I wouldn't worry too much about it, Asia. She'll get there, but just needs that one push to get their. I'll get her there, so don't grow upset Asia." Kai reassured her, making Asia's expression turn up.
"Well that's great to hear. You might not show it, but I can tell you're a good person!" Asia said with a smile, making Kai chuckle. As the two watched the action, Kai and Asia witnissed the group of Koneko, Kiba, Akeno, and Issei, use a combo attack on Christian, causing a massive explosion. Kai placed a barrier around himself and Asia to protect them from the explosion, as smoke filled the area. Even with the barrier, the two spectators felt their hair be blown back.
As the smoke cleared, Christian was shown, on his feet, his usually silver hair was now steel black, his eye's closed. As he opened them, his light blue eye's were now a deep shade of yellow. His aura was no longer blue, it was now black.
"Well done, kiddos. You've made me bring forth more of my power. I'd say that's a major improvement, so feel good about yourselves. But that only means your training gets harder at this point. Are you all willing to grow stronger, even if that means this training grows tougher?" Christian asked, all four of them clear with determination on their faces.
"We'll do whatever we must to grow much stronger. Give us your worst Christian." Issei spoke for them all, as the other three nodded with him.
"Good to hear it. We have one hour left until todays training is done, so let's give it our best." Kai and Asia watched for another hour, as Christian fought them with more power, where they were barely able to hit him, and even when they did, it didn't affect him. Another hour later, the four were laying on the grassy field, using the break Christian and Kai gave them.
"So dinner anybody?" Kai asked, as all turned to him. "I had Rias make dinner for today, so it should be done already." Kai said, as they all left inside. Everyone else went to freshen up, as Christian and Kai went to the dining room, taking their seats.
"So tell me, Kai, how did it go?" Christian asked, making Kai sigh.
"Another failure, to be completely honest. She still decides to use her emotion as a source of power. We both know from experience that doesn't help anyone. I've already been telling Issei in training to not use his emotions, and seeing Gremory doing so tells me that she won't make much progress if she continues this." Kai explained, as everyone soon started to move in, as the two family members thought to themselves.
'Maybe a near death experience? Send Dusk on her to the point to where she may die where her full power may come out? No...she probably wouldn't be able to handle it if she couldn't handle my simple trash talking. I need to find something, or else this training for the princess would have been for nothing.' Kai then looked over at Koneko, seeing she still had her nekoshou ears and tail out. 'Glad to see she's getting used to it. I may need to see over her training for her nekoshou powers for the next week. We'll see...' Kai thought, as everyone ate, mostly in silence.
"Koneko, can I talk with you outside?" Kai suddenly asked, the nekoshou turning to him.
"Sure." The two walked out front, as Kai leaned against the railing, as Koneko sat on the step. "What's up?"
"I saw how you fought against my Uncle earlier. I won't lie when I say I'm impressed. But you can get even stronger with these powers. For the next week here, I'll look over your training and make sure you grow stronger. Meet me in the forest tomorrow morning and we'll get started immediately. Sound good?" Kai said, Koneko looking up at him.
"Sounds good to me. Why in the forest thought?" Koneko asked, making Kai chuckle.
"You'll see, I'm gonna have a surprise for you. Go ahead and enjoy your dinner, I'll be out here if you need me." Koneko nodded, as she went back inside. Kai looked up at the sky, as he took out something from his pocket. "He did say it could be used for communication." Kai said, as he held up the leaflet Riser gave him.
~~~The Next Morning~~~
Koneko walked into the forest, feeling Kai's aura at the same ledge they last talked at. She walked to the opening, seeing Kai looking out at the land.
"Kai?" She called out, as Kai turned to her with a smile.
"Glad you could make it, Koneko." Kai said, standing up from the rock. "Ready for training?"
"Yes, but you said there was a surprise.' Koneko reminded.
"Well, aren't you a little spoiled." Kai teased. "Alright, you can come out now." Kai said, as Koneko grew confused.
"It's been quite some time, nya." Koneko's eye's widened at the voice, as she turned to her right. There she saw her, which only grew more shock from her.
"Kuroka."
"Hello, Shirone." Kuroka said with a smile.
"What is she doing here?" Koneko asked. Not in an angry way, but more curious.
"She's here to help with your training. Every morning, she'll come here and help train you."
"Isn't she apart of Riser's peerage?" Koneko asked.
"Yes, but I called in for a favor."
~~~The Previous Night~~~
"Kai, what are you calling for?" Riser said, as a hologram of him appeared from the leaflet.
"I need another favor, if you don't mind." Kai stated.
"What find of favor?" Riser asked with a raised eyebrow.
"It's for Koneko, Gremory's rook. I know your Bishop Kuroka is her older sister, and I've been able to get Koneko to start using her Nekoshou powers. I feel she needs training from somone who also has the abilities of a Nekoshou. Do you see what I'm getting at?"
"Yes, you want Kuroka to help train Koneko for you last week, am I correct?" Riser questioned.
"That's exactly it. Would you allow it?" Kai asked. Riser seemed to be thinking, before he looked back at Kai.
"I'll allow it. Maybe even after the Rating Game, Kuroka can continue to train Koneko. I'll send Kuroka their in the morning, just send me the location and I'll have it done." Riser said, making Kai smile.
"Thank you, Riser, I promise it'll be worth it."
"No problem at all Kai, Kuroka's been wanting to see her sister for a while now, so this will allow that. Goodnight Kai."
"Goodnight Riser."
Flashback End
"So she's going to help train me?" Koneko asked after hearing Kai's explanation.
"That's exactly it. After the Rating Game, your sister will continue to train you so you can use your Nekoshou powers better. Are you okay with this?" Kai asked, before Koneko turned to Kuroka.
"Tell me, Kuroka..." Koneko started, as Kuroka tilted her head. "...what truly happened that night?" Koneko asked.
"Come, let's sit and talk." The two sisters sat on the rock, as Kai watched from the side. "I'll explain it all, so listen carefully Shirone. Is it fine if I call you that, or do you want me to call you by your new name?"
"Either's fine." Koneko answered.
"I might wanna start from the beginning. When we had first been taken under by that man, I already had my suspiciouns about him. Over time, my suspiciouns grew, before I decided to look more into it. I found one of his journals, which was named 'Neko Sisters' so I looked more into it. As he found out about my sneaking, he started experiments on me, which is what was in the journal, his secrets and plans to experiment on us both, steal our DNA, and make Super Devils. When I found out he was going to do the same to you, I wasn't going to allow it. I wasn't going to allow him to do to you what he did to me. Even with the experiments, I kept my mind focused and didn't allow it to control me. Learning he was going to do the same to you, I decided it would be best to get rid of him, and thus I killed him." Kuroka finished, looking up at the passing birds. Kuroka sighed, remembering the treatment that she had to put up with.
"Kuroka..." Koneko muttered, the older sister turning to her younger sibling. "...I'm sorry."
"There's nothing to apologize for, Shiron. You only went off of what you knew and saw. Other than that, there was nothing much to go off of. So don't apologize. It should be who apologizes for not being there for my little sister, for not being the big sister I should have been." Koneko leaned into Kuroka's side, the latter wrapping her arm on Koneko's shoulder. "So, should we get started with your training?" Kuroka asked.
Koneko simply smiled with a nod, as Kai smiled at the sight.
~~~Last Day of Training~~~
"Alright, it's the last day you all. Neither Christian nor myself will be involved, it will simply be all of you against one another, a free for all if you will." Kai stated, as he, Christian, and Asia stood on the side lines at the back of the house. "The last one standing will be considered the winner. You've all had 2 weeks to prepare, and today is the day where we see if theirs been a good amount of progress, or a slim change in your power. If you can't handle this, then you won't get anywhere against Riser and his peerage. Everybody ready?" Everyone of them nodded, as Kai looked all of them over.
Kiba had made a new sword, his speed and power much higher now. Koneko was now covered in a light blue aura, as her Nekoshou powers could be felt fromt he others. Akeno wore her traditional miko outfit, with crackling thunder sprouting from her hands. Her eye's showed nothing but power. Issei's Boosted Gear had leveled up, if you would, as it now had 2 gems instead of one, and covered most of the arms, with 4 golden claw like sharp ends on each side. Another showing of his progress was that his left eye was now glowing green, and the eye was now slit like a Dragons, his aura a deep shade of green as well. His hair as well, with his sacred gear out, was red like his gauntlet and red like the scales of Ddraig.
Rias had grown a little in her time, her aura now darkened and deeper. Her eye's gave off a faint glow, as she felt stronger than before.
"Remember, go at each other with the intent to kill, as if this was a true battle to the death. 3...2...1, GO!" Kai yelled. The first to move in was Kiba, unleashing his sword from it's sheath. He swayed over towards Issei, who could see him coming, even with his new found speed. Kiba slashed down at Issei, who simply blocked with his gauntlet, before throwing a precise strike at Kiba, making him back up. Akeno and Rias had started to go at it in an aerial battle, launching attacks of thunder and Power of Destruction at one another, only for the attacks to cancel each other out.
Koneko went towards the fighting males, Kiba and Issei, sending blast of chi out at the two. The two saw it coming, moving out of the way, as the blasts went and destroyed a tree.
"This is definitely fun to watch." Kai said with a smirk on his face.
"Sure is, kid. Tell me, that sister of hers came down didn't she?" Christian asked, refering to Koneko.
"Yeah, called in a favor from Riser. She's his Bishop, and he agreed to allow her to train Koneko." Kai explained.
"That would explain why her power grew so quickly. Training from not only a family member, but another Nekoshou. Very smart of you to do that." Christian said, as they both turned back to the fight.
After a while, the only ones left were Issei and Koneko. Kiba had been taken down by taking a chi blast from Koneko, before a Dragon Shot from Issei. Rias was taken down by Akeno's thunder, not expecting it when she was fighting against Kiba. Akeno was taken down by Koneko's chi blasts, to which the Nekoshou put together multiple chi blasts into one, creating one big blast.
Koneko and Issei stared one another down, before both smirked.
"You both have made it very far, and have grown much stronger. I'm very proud of you both, here's out it'll work now. Both of you send your strongest attack at one another, and the one who still stands is the winner." Kai said. "Don't worry, Asia is here to fix any injuries." Kai said.
Both focused all of their energies into their final attacks, as they felt sweat pour down their faces.
"Let's do this! DRAGON SHOT!"
"HYAAAAAAAAH!"
The attacks flied through the air, bypassing one another quickly, as the speed of the attacks made tree fly over. Neither could move out of the way after using all of their strenght in their attacks and the previous battles. Before they knew it, the attacks exploded around them, as the explosions were huge.
After a few seconds, the smoke cleared, showing both on the floor, passed out.
"It seems this would be a draw. Which could only mean one thing...those two are even in power." Kai said, as he walked over towards Koneko. "Asia, heal Ise, I've got Koneko."
"Yes!" Asia ran over at Issei, afte healing the rest, and started to heal him.
Kai bent down, placing Koneko's head on his lap. He placed his hand on her forehead, as his eye's closed, as his entire body, as well as Koneko's, were covered in a green light. Koneko shortly awoke, seeing Kai healing her. She blushed at it, as she felt her wounds heal instantly. Kai opened his eye's to see Koneko looking up at him. He smile down at her, rubbing her hair, much to her delight.
"I healed everything, so you should be fine now." Kai explained. Koneko, unknown as to why to Kai, blushed.
"Thank you Kai..."
Kai smiled and nodded, as he looked up at the others.
"Tomorrow is your Rating Game against Riser Phenex. In these past two weeks, my Uncle Christian and myself have done everything we can to make you all stronger, to have at least a slim chance at beating Riser. Everything else is up to you all and how much pain you can take before it becomes too much. The rest of the day is yours, do what you need before we leave at 5. I won't lie when I say I'm proud of a good amount of you."
Kai looked back down at Koneko for a second, before looking up at the others. He smirked at them all, as he looked up at the sky.
'Who knew I'd be good at training someone...maybe things aren't so bad here.'
A much longer chapter than usual. If you couldn't tell already, I've given in to your demands, and Koneko will now be with Kai. Christian has also made an appearance, and Dusk has been found out to actually be a Cerberus! I have a lot more plans for this story, so hopefull this was enjoyable to read for you all. Until next time, Riser vs Rias. I can definitely say this story is some sort of Rias Gremory bashing story, but oh well. Might as well keep it up for a little longer before Kai warms up to her.
Kai: Irina & Akeno(Alpha's), Kuroka, Koneko, Ravel, Leone, Future group members(to be announced later on)
Issei: Rias, Asia, Xenovia, Akame, future OC's
So yes, with my future plans, I've decided to take out Vali from the harem and turn him back male. I've also decided to add some OC's to Issei's harem. These OC's can be mine...or yours. Send in the info in a PM if you wanna see your OC in the harem, so it must be a girl. Tell me the appearance, abilities and powers, and basic info(age, personality, species)
If you wish to request someone for either harem, then go ahead. Just know that not all suggestions will be used.
Have a good one!
