"Do you three know this boy?" Azazel questioned the trio.

"I just had coffee with him! He said he was an old friend but it'd been awhile since we last talked. He looked really familiar so I agreed!" Kaly explained.

"Well he lives in Kouh. The town the boy you're watching over resides. He actually goes to school with the boy. His real name is also Hikaru."

"You lied to us!" Raynare and Mittelt shouted.

"Why!?" Kaly asked me.
"Honestly I wanted more specific information on your mission and to see how far my presence hiding skills would get me into Fallen territory. I'm very sorry if I hurt your feeling Kalawarner. Please forgive me." I bowed my head in addition to asking this.

"You are forgiven. But you have to take me out for coffee one of these days as the real Hikaru."

"I have no problems with that."

"But Sona might son." Ze-kun whispered in my ear.

"On to why you three were called here. We have a plan for peace and it evolves you three very much. We want you three to attend Kouh high school and the connecting college. For the one known as Kalawarner you shall attend your last year in the college and then you shall be welcomed onto the Kouh staff if you so choose. We have come to an agreement with Azazel that you have two choices, the first being the one we have already explained and the second being leaving Kouh and the territory that is under Sitri, Gremory, and Abaddon watch." Ajuka told the girls.

"Abaddon? I thought they were all lost." Mittelt voiced.

"I am the continuation of the Abaddon line. If you so choose to stay in Kouh and follow the first choice you shall also learn of the history behind me and my lineage. Knowledge that Azazel will be learning today and also heavily guarded by those of leader class in both Heaven and Hell."

"You must choose now and your decision is final there is no going back." Azazel told the trio.

"I choose to stay." Kalawarner said immediately.

"Kaly!?" Raynare seemed shocked.

"Ray. What Kokabiel told you was a lie. That and your goal, that I shan't mention in present company, is honestly immature. Why can't you find a real dream. One for yourself. One that is for the greater good. That and why not let go of Kokabiel's views. Equality. For all. For one."

Raynare sucked in a breath. "I-I…. choose to follow with Kaly."

"Thank you Ray."

"I wanna stay with them!" Mittelt hugged the two other girls.

"You, Mittelt, will actually be residing with our friend and relative Koneko. She's your age as well and also going to join Kouh with her peerage members and King." Serafall said.

"Oh… Okay! As long as I can still be with my sisters."

"What did Kokabiel tell Raynare?" I wasn't going to let that slip.

"He tried to get us to follow new orders. He wanted us to kill the boy and also make a stronghold at the abandoned church. He was trying many tactics. He switched each and every time. I believe he was going to use Ray's dream to convince her and cause us to join her side." Kalawarner admitted without second thought. Raynare wouldn't look at any of us once this news was given to us.

"Before we get into that I want to check right now. Are you all for this peace plan?" This was the first time Azazel had spoken since he had gotten here.

"Yes." The trio spoke in sync.

"Okay. This plan is to be kept on the down low and none are to know about it. Not even Kokabiel. In fact he will be under the impression you three have been moved to a new assignment and the boy is nothing." The trio nodded. "Sirzechs."

"Hikaru, would you do the honors?"

I took a step back and through my seal onto the meeting table. I closed my eyes and relaxed, before letting my energies explode outwards like a bullet wave while my dual wings extended. The trio of girls went to their knees while looking at me in shock. Azazel look taken aback, Ze-kun as well. Only Serafall wasn't shocked actually. I just realized she was the only one who knew how I've grown from training. " I am Hikaru Abbadon, High Devil and Heir to Heaven! I am one of a kind yet almost the original Devil, Lucifer himself! This information is top secret and dangerous. Any and all who try and spill this secret will die. Personally."

"Well….the kid knows how to introduce himself." Azazel said. Ze-kun chuckled. I began drawing my energy and presence in while observing those gathered.

"Hikaru after we explain more I want to talk about how much you've grown."

"Okay. So, who's first?"

"What… are you?" Kaly was the first to speak up.

"I am the last Angel created by YHWH. Originally created as another Angel's male half to continue our species. As the Great War went on YHWH changed my purpose realizing he would in fact die. Which is news to you three. YHWH changed my purpose to being his heir. I will naturally have more power than Gabriel and Michael combined by full maturity without training. I have been training though. That is why you had such reactions. As an infant Angel of sorts my light powers were very unstable I repeatedly hurt those I loved. I had four pairs of wings like I do currently. I went to a cliff that dropped all the way down here. I ripped my bottom pair of wings off and dropped. When I hit the ground I was on the perfect border between your territories. I hobbled towards the Devils. Ze-kun and Grayfia found me as I passed out. They took me in raised me. And now we are here after all these years. Recently I have gotten into contact with the Heavens and am currently rebuilding my relationship with Gabriel."

"So not only are you some weird, originally impossible Angel-Devil, God is dead. And you're his replacement but could rule the Devil society?" Raynare asked.

"Yes. To all of those actually."

"Wow. I had coffee with what could be the next God and or Devil King. Holy shit. Hehehe. No pun intended. Sorry. Wait didn't the cashier Faerie hustle you into paying ridiculous amounts for the coffee too?"

"Yeps. That cashier by the way was the next Faerie Queen and my super close friend Glorianna." Kaly's mouth form an O shape after hearing that.

"So do you three have any more questions that cannot wait?" Sirzechs asked. The trio nodded no. "Okay, well most of the information you get you'll learn throughout living in the peace plan. Now, Hikaru, how did your power get so much larger specifically?"

"I've been training….with Sera-chan…. and Cousin Bael…. and Sona plus her peerage, them against me."

"Didn't I tell you to take it a bit easy? To not train excessively?"

"Yeah, I think you mentioned it."

"Uhu yeah just mentioned it….EVERYDAY FOR THE LAST YEAR!"

"I got bored. There wasn't much to do down here."

"THERE'S AN ENTIRE CITY YOU CAN GO TO AND HAVE AN ALMOST UNLIMITED SUPPLY OF MONEY! HOW COULD YOU GET BORED!?"

"I'm not exactly the average teen."

"Ugh. Touche."

"So are you two gonna continue this, are we gonna conclude this meeting, should we grab sleeping bags, can we get some drinks? What?" Azazel cut in.

"Oh yeah, sorry. Unless there is anything more to discuss right now, this meeting is adjourned. Now about those drinks Azazel…" Ze-kun started chatting with Azazel.

"So about that coffee Kal? Maybe I can explain a bit better too?"

"I'd like that."

*At the coffee shop*

"So what's with the band on your wrist?" Kaly asked between sips.

"A seal that hides all traces of my Angel half. It was created by Ajuka himself."

"Can you still access the Angelic powers?"

"Yes. But it's more difficult. The amount of effort put into drawing on my Angelic powers with it on would equate to drawing one to two thirds of my entire Angelic power with it off. So I train twice as often because of said differences. I have to make sure I'll always be able to protect my loved ones. Always. Never shall I not be enough. Never shall I hurt another loved one."

"What causes that?"

"Causes what?"

"The protective, never hurt a loved one and the again."

"A lot of history. When I was a Cherub I almost killed other Angels. Gabriel included. I almost hurt Sona Sitri when I first began our friendship. I almost burnt down Ze-kun's house on my first day there. Well it was close to the first day."

"Who's… Ze-kun?"

"Oh sorry! Sirzechs-sama."

"You call the Devil King… Ze-kun?"

"Well, yeah. He practically raised me. He's my dad in every sense of the word. I don't see him as some all powerful fear striking entity. I know that their are others with more power than him, double to triple his power if not more for some entities. And even then I fear them not. But that's a different matter. Sirzechs is always family before being a King. Even if he makes choices for the people first. His first thoughts are for us."

"Huh. What's it like having parents?"

"That's right. We Angels don't naturally have parents. Well…. it's like having what the Humans call a Guardian Angel. Except there are two of them and not only do they protect you they also let you get hurt enough to grow from it. I've found though that not all parents are like that. In fact I have found that normally, parents have a more negative affect on their children. But with Ze-kun and Grayfia-san, they're warm calming presences that are safe. They bring with them a security that you don't have without them. It's like when you start truly loving someone as a life partner. They are the safest place to be and the most secure. The only difference is you don't have that attraction and flare. You want to make them proud yet still do your own thing on top of that. Does that explain it? I'm sorry it's a complicated experience to describe. Most people describe their parents as, 'They're like a mom,' or 'They're like any other dad,' It's such a task it's usually given up on before trying."

"Well think you did a great job. It sounds nice. So, how would you know what it's like falling and being in love?"

"Honestly? I'm in love with Sona Sitri and Gabriel of the Heavens. They both love me and we're making it work however complicated and odd we may be. That and I think it may be happening right now."

Kal laughed. It was beautiful. "After two coffees?"

"No, after hours of talking and twelve coffees not including the one we first had together."

Kal laugh again. "You believe love happens that fast?"

"No. It happens before you even meet, I think. I'd say that love is destined. Well love and hate. You are born and already you are destined to love or hate those you meet. By that I mean not that those you love are determined and those you hate are determined. It's more…. all the people you love now, you were destined to either hate them or love the, the moment you were born. The same goes with those you hate. While yes love, hate, anger, fear, emotions really are a lot more complex and confusing; I believe that the most important and basic of who they target are predetermined. Though due to such polarities it can only predetermine the targets and who they are. Of course beings not bound by fate are void on this."

"Wow, you've really thought about this."

"Yeah. Life was emotionally complicated in the beginning."

"Beginning. How far away it always seems. With everyone being practically immortal what is time? It's so short, yet infinite. I mean Humans have a maximum of a century. We have thousands if not millennia. And then we have the true immortals. Ophis, the Ouroboros Dragon God, Red. I mean seriously what is time with all these existences?"

"I wish I knew that one too. What with everything that's ever happen; I don't care anymore. Time may be more complicated than emotions but I don't care anymore how much time I'll have with my loved ones. No matter how long or short it is from any point of view it's not enough. That's what love is. Love is one of two things that will always transcend time and space. It is the one thing that will always transcend everything else. Hate is the other for time and space. Love transcends hate though."

"How many deep things you gonna enlighten me on just tonight eh?"

"Depends, how many deep topics you gonna bring up tonight?" I smiled at her.

"Touche, Hikaru!"

"So, what's your story? Why'd you fall? More so how? If you don't mind me asking."

"I fell because Ray fell. We have always been sisters. Always. Raynare fell for her reasons. I couldn't let her start another life alone. So I did what was easiest to fall. I went to the human world. I was wearing my Angelic clothes. The humans thought it was odd. But I looked for whatever might be considered Devilish. I was very pure back then, even for an Angel. From there I wandered around learning the human's ways in their shoes. And then the urges set in. The most basic human urges. So I followed it. I gave away my physical purity while in the midsts of losing my mental and emotional purity. And in that time, Ray changed. Not too much. But she wasn't the same. She gave too far into greed. She wanted power for love and love for power. Me joining her brought her back a little. But it wasn't until Mittlet joined us that she started truly changing for the better. And then you came along. And now we're here."

"The bonds that make a family are stronger than any blood."

"Agreed. So you wanna get outta here? It's like 4 in the morning."

"OH SHIT! I WAS SUPPOSED TO HELP RIAS STUDY!"

"Who's Rias?"

"My sister/cousin/friend."

"I take it that means you need to go?"

"Uh…. nah her test is tomorrow not today. She'll already be pissed so meh, more time is more time."

Kal laughed. "Yeah that sounds about right. Whenever Ray or Mittlet places a curfew and one of us forgets, we don't go back until waaaay afterwards."

"As long as she doesn't tell Sirzechs that I forgot, I'll be fine."

I couldn't take it couldn't stand another minute couldn't bear another day without you in it all of the joy that I had known for my life was stripped away from me the minute that you died to have you in my life was all I ever wanted but now without you I'm a soul forever haunted can't help but feel that I had taken you for granted no way in hell that I can ever comprehend this-

I silenced my phone, feeling the blush on my face in full bloom. Looking at the phone it was a call from Sirzechs. Immediately following the ignore button a text came in. Guess who it was from? Ze-kun. All caps.

HOW DARE YOU FORGET RIAS!? SHE'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL TO HAVE EVER WALKED THIS EARTH! SHE TRUSTED YOU! PUT HER FAITH IN YOU! WHERE ARE YOU!? WHEN I FIND YOU YOU'LL REGRET IT!

I plead the fifth? T-T

WHERE ARE YOU BOY?

Nowhere, everywhere, not where you can find me… well not where you can get me.

YOU'LL REGRET THIS WHEN YOU GET BACK

Who says I can't hide for a thousand years or so?

KEEPING DIGGING YOUR GRAVE HIKARU

Love you bye.

I WILL FIND YOU

"So uh, Kaly, you have any place i could stay for a millennia or so?"

Kaly laugh again. "Are you asking to spend the night at my place? Wow, Hikaru. I hadn't pegged you for someone who moved so fast."

I deadpanned at her. "You and I both know my intentions and they are not anywhere close to that."

"Doesn't mean I won't tease you."

"It's gonna be a long night won't it?

"Yes. At least I'll be taking you back to my personal residence instead of the joint one I have with Ray and Mittlet."

"Thank you."

"Nah. Let's go."

*Kal's house*

"Thanks again for this Kal."

"It's no problem, and Kal? Well you're certainly the first to call me that. It's always Kaly." she put extra emphasis on the E sound.

"I have a hard time believing that."

"Don't. So you wanna hit the hay?"

I yawned. "Yeah, sure. I'll take your couch if you don't mind. Or the floor its up to you."

"Nope. You are gonna sleep in the bed."

"Judging by the singularity of that I'm going to assume you only have one bed. I will not take your bed from you."

"You're correct on both of those; you're going to share my bed."

"No. Not gonna happen."

"Yes it will or Sirzechs will just happen to have my address courtesy of Azazel."

"Why?" I knew defeat when it occurred and admitted it.

"Because."

"That is not a real reason."

"Yes it is."

"Ugh."

"Stop bitchin' and moanin' and come this way, to the room." I followed Kaly to her room and upon getting inside I sat on the bed and took my shoes and socks off. Then I looked to Kal and found that she was undressing completely. I turned away and went to the opposite side of the bed. "Oh hell no. You are not sleeping in my bed in jeans at least."

"But it's disre- Fine." I had gone through this shit too many times. I got up and got into my underwear refusing to look behind me.

"What's wrong Hikaru? Shy?"

"No. I will not look at a woman without her permission."

"Wow you really are an Angel aren't you?"

"Yes."

"Puberty must have been hard."

"Yes."

"You gonna talk to me more than just the word yes?"

"Yes."

Kal laughed. "How then?"

"Would you please turn off your lights?"

"Okay." Kaly laughed.

"Goodnight."

"Hikaru?" Kal's tone was very different.

"Yes?"

"Do you think I'm beautiful?" I turned to Kalawarner then. I took her in. I took in every curve, every small battle scar, the way her hair fell onto her back, the way the light shadowed her perfectly, the way her irises patterned in their own ethereal beauty. I looked at her in her entirety.

"Without a fraction of a doubt."

"Thank you."

"Don't thank me for telling you the truth. I always will."

"Okay, don't tell me not to thank you. I always will."

"Okay Kal. Now turn off the lights and sleep okay?"

"Okay." Kal walked back to the bed in the dark. I felt her crawl into the bed and scoot towards me. I met her halfway for her. She cuddled into my back.

A/N

Hey guys. I'm sorry this is super late. Life's happened. High School for the first time, suicide close to my friends. Eviction, moving, finances. Just all around hard times. If it wasn't for a talk I had with an amazing writer I probably wouldn't have ever finished this. So special thanks to Areiko.

Ps: Rest well Monty Oum. We'll miss you.
