Son of Daniel

Chapter 7: Daniel's Biggest Mission

"So it's tonight isn't it?" Suguro asked as he leaned forward against the railing of the old boy's dorm bridge looking into the water.

"Huh?" Daniel said weakly looking at Suguro as he sipped on his canned coffee.

"Your mission" Suguro said taking a glancing peek at Daniel before looking back at his reflection. Daniel tensed up a bit crushing his canned coffee, Suguro looked at Daniel once more blinking.

"Dude, relax I've never seen you so tense before. You were calmer during the Exwire Exams." He commented, Daniel laughed nervously.

"Yeah but this will be mine and Izumo's first mission together.." Daniel said, he didn't sound happy about it even though him and Izumo were now going out for two weeks. Everyone expect Suguro/Bon and Paku over reacted about it.

"Though dude maybe calling it a mission is a bit of an over kill.." Bon commented, Daniel sighed once. Maybe Bon was right but then what was this?..

"Maybe.. oh did you bring it?" Daniel asked, Bon looked at him for a moment before reaching into his school bag that was beside him leaning on the railing as well. He took out a paper bag tossing it to Daniel who quickly caught it smiling.

"Thanks Bon, by the way.." Daniel said trailing off a little, Bon raised his head a little with a quiet "Huh?". Daniel smirked lightly before flicking Bon's forehead once making Bon glare at him.

"I'm surprised you didn't over react about me and Izumo dating." Daniel said with a smug attitude he was already picking up Izumo's habit since he started hanging out with her almost everyday. Bon blinked a bit knowing full well Daniel was just messing with him so he mirrorly shrugged lightly.

"To be honest, it's cause I know you and Kamiki are very serious about Cram School. I thought about telling you two off saying it's not right for students to date eachother but when I saw how calm she's become lately. And how much you two study and help eachother on the work I knew full well it was all harmless and that you two wouldn't let your relationship stand in the way of your goals." Bon said, almost giving Daniel a lecture on his relationship. Well it was better then having Daniel's best friend freak out on him about it. Daniel nodded once to Bon who simply smile at him.

"Thanks again Bon, don't worry we won't make out too much" Daniel said teasingly making Bon's eyes widen greatly.

"W-What did you say?! You jackass! Give that back!" Bon screamed with his face slightly red imagining Daniel doing such a thing in public. Daniel smirked lightly as he jumped over Bon's whole body and landed behind him. Bon slammed into the ground, as he got back up to try again a hand was infront of him. Daniel smirked at him, Bon returned it figuring out Daniel was messing with him again. Taking Daniel's hand he got up shaking his hand firmly.

"Don't fail your mission Dan." Bon said, though it wasn't really wishing him luck Daniel understood this was Bon's way of saying it. Nodding once he shook his hand once before releasing it and taking off for the dorm. He had to meet up with Rin and Yukio or Mr. Okumura..

...

...

...

"S-Sorry I'm late!" Daniel said as he opened the door to the Okumura brothers room, Rin smiled with a "Yo" while Yukio simply pushed his glasses up to look at Daniel.

"It's fine, we still have time to prepare you." Yukio said sounding rather annoyed by all this. Rin got up from his bed and went to the closet, Yukio glanced at Rin for a moment before returning his gaze to Daniel who seemed tense for this misson of his.

"Did Mr. Suguro give you what you need?" Yukio asked Daniel sighed lightly before nodding.

"Ya know you don't have to sound like a teacher your off work today." Daniel said running his hand through pale brown hair, Yukio pushed his glasses up his voice firm with his next words.

"You say something Mr. Blackwood?" He said his voice sounding almost dangerous, Daniel felt his blood run cold a bit.

"N-No nothing!" He said moving towards Rin, who was searching through the closet.

"What's up with your brother Rin?" Daniel whispered to Rin who simply shrugged once.

"He thinks it's not right for a good student like you and polka brows to be dating. He believe it will slow you two down." Rin said as he finally found what he was looking for, he took out a black bag with something inside it. He then handed it to Daniel who took it bowing his head in thanks before commenting.

"Wow Bon has more faith in me then my teacher, that's just messed up." Daniel said looking dumbfounded, Rin snickered under his breath a little showing off his pointed teeth a little. Yukio got up walking to the two of them.

"Well then shall we get you ready? Remember you won't have your familiars at your aid or your sidearm for this mission. Only your own skills and what you've learned in your week of study." He said sounding like it was a matter of life or death, though Bon had calmed Daniel down. Yukio's words made him tense up again like a statue, Rin sighed lightly before pushing his younger brother away.

"Your scaring Daniel, chill Yukio" Rin said before looking at Daniel, he pointed at the bag before continuing to talk.

"Ya know how to do that?" Daniel nodded once more before thanking both of the brothers. Yukio gave Daniel a bottle with a foul smelling liquid atleast foul to Daniel's demon nose, it was bitter but he learned from his books that it helps attracts your targets. Daniel returned to his dorm room to prepare himself for tonights mission...

...

...

...

"Your late!" A snobby voice cried out, the source of the voice was crossing her arms as her foot tapped the stone steps of the girls dorms.

"S-Sorry Izumo!" Daniel said as he ran up, Izumo sighed lightly before looking at Daniel. Her eyes widen as he got closer.

"D-Daniel.. what is that?" She said, she pointed at him as he came to a stop.

"H-Huh?" Daniel looked at his clothing, it was a suit he borrowed from Rin.

"A suit?.." He said questioningly, Izumo walked to him. Daniel raised his eyes to her, she was dressed in a tight pair of light blue jeans they seemed to hug her hips perfectly, a pink tank top that slightly showed off her bust,and her hair was in a large ponytail that stopped a little above her butt. She looked stunning, simple.. but stunning while Daniel.. well Daniel..

"Why do you smell like a cheap business man? And your hair.." She reached up and touched his slicked back pale brown hair he did look like a cheap business man now that he thought about it.. but his research..

"But.. Paku gave me this.." Daniel reached into his suit jacket and took out a magazine with the cover reading...

"Simple Ways To Impress Your Date.." Izumo read the cover before looking at the man on the cover of the magizine, he had a black suit on along with slicked back black hair striking a pose. She then looked at Daniel holding the magazine, his black suit.. slicked back hair.. Izumo blinked a few times before she put her hand over her mouth as if to hold back something.

"Pftt..." Escaped her lips til finally she broke out laughing, Daniel blinked in surprise the last time she laughed like that was when Bon said his dream was to defeat Satan. Daniel frowned a bit looking at the magazine, he looked just like the man on the cover. So what was he doing wrong?

"Haha! I..I can't b-believe how goofy you look!" She said trying to catch her breath, Daniel was confused. He did everything the magazine said, even rereading the damn thing forty-seven times just to make sure he looked just right. But all he did was look like a fool, sighing lightly he threw the magazine into a nearby trash bin before looking at Izumo who was finally beginning to calm down.

"Stupid thing.. I wanted to make your first date special.. Paku told me you never were on a date before so.. I.." Daniel's voice trailed off, Izumo blinked looking at him in surprise. A soft blush formed on her cheeks before she looked down at the ground.

"He went this far out of his comfort zone just.. for me?" She thought as she bit her bottom lip a bit, her eyebrows went into a scowl though she didn't mean for them to. Sighing lightly she looked up at him before reaching out. Daniel tensed up as Izumo gently messed up his hair, as she pulled her hand back she smiled.

"I like.. your hair this way. Come on, let's go back." She said as she gently grasped Daniel's hand and pulled him away from her dorm going in the direction of his dorm.

"B-Back where?" Daniel said a little surprised, Izumo simply smiled pulling him a long...

...

...

...

"Ya all cleaned up?" Izumo asked as she was sitting on Daniel's bed with a cup of tea in her hand. Daniel sighed lightly, Izumo made him go take a shower. To clean the gel Bon gave him out of his hair, though he could of just washed his hair out. He was a bit lost as to why he had to take a full blown shower. He nodded once to her now in dark blue jeans, a black long sleeve under shirt with a white button up tee shirt that was open in the front. Izumo smiled lightly, her face slightly red.

"Yeah but why did I have to wash my whole body?" Daniel asked as he rubbed his slightly damp hair with a towel to finish drying it. Izumo set her tea cup on the desk before getting up and walked up to Daniel who tensed up a bit as she began to fix the collar of his button up shirt.

"Because my b-boyfriend isn't going to smell like a cheap whore." Izumo said, Daniel's face turned a slightly red at her calling him her boyfriend. He still wasn't used to being called that, nor was Izumo used to calling him it.

"Besides.. I like you.. just the way you are." Izumo said, Daniel jumped a bit before he reached out to gently put his arms around her. She gasped lightly but smiled as he pulled her against his chest, her hands gently pressing against his chest. She could feel how fit Daniel truely was, even though they went to the beach Izumo never got the chance to see Daniel swim...meaning she never got the chance to see him shirtless even though Daniel saw her in her underwear once and her bikini once as well. Her fingertips gently trailed down his chest til she paused on something right above the spot where Daniel's heart was.

"Daniel.." She mumbled, he looked down at her tilting his head a bit.

"What this on your chest?.." She asked, Daniel tensed up moving away from her. He rubbed the back of his head ruffling up his pale brown hair. He then grabbed his wallet from the dresser.

"W-We best get going." He said trying to change the subjest, he opened the door for her. Though she didn't like him changing the subject, she had no right to just barge into his personal problems.. if it had something to do with what happen to him and his mother.. Just like he had no reason to barge into her personal problems..

They exited the Old Boys Dorm, crossing the bridge with an uneasy silence between them, it took a few minutes before Izumo sighed lightly and reached out to gently touch Daniel's hand. As their hands made contact Daniel jumped and looked at Izumo who smiled softly at him.

"So.. that magazine Paku gave you.. why did she?" Izumo asked, Daniel turned to look away as he held her hand. He read in the magazine holding hands was a normal thing for contact between your date or partner.

"Well.. I've never dated anyone before, or been asked out before" He said like it was normal, Izumo looked confused. How could Daniel not have dated anyone? Or even been asked out, he seemed kind to everyone. First to Suguro, Paku then finally her, so how could he not have a girlfriend?

"But.." Izumo said keeping that confusing look on her face, her eyebrows tensed up giving her, her normal scowling face. But Daniel knew she wasn't mad at him or anything, so he gently tapped his head.

"I'm the son of a fallen angel, whose been trained since he was 2 til he was 16 to become a machine for revenge against Satan. What time would I have to date anyone?" He said it like he was accepting that fate, to die fighting for a pointless goal. Atleast Izumo thought it was pointless like Suguro wanting to defeat Satan, sure Daniel was strong but the chance of him defeating Satan was still low.. though she had only seen him in his demon form once and that was only for a split second..

"Daniel." She said, he glanced at her seeing she had an important question, though she was good at hiding her feelings since they started dating he noticed a lot more about her. Cause she wasn't angry so quickly like she used to be, and seemed gentler about things..

"Yes?" He answered before he stopped beside her, they were close to diner Daniel picked he figured since she made him change his whole look that ment she wasn't expecting some fancy restraunt or anything for a first date.

"You said Tension One before when the Kraken almost killed you." She said, Daniel felt a twig in his chest.

"So you caught that huh?" She nodded once, he doubt she'd just drop this without a fight. Not that he had a reason to hide some of his powers, so he tilted his head in the direction of the diner. She nodded once more, knowing he'd explain once inside.

...

...

"Table for two?" A young waitress asked as Daniel and Izumo entered the diner. Daniel nodded once to the young lady, who brought them to a table without a moments hesitation. She smiled at Daniel who kindly returned it out of seer courtesy, Izumo pouted a bit but kept her mouth closed.

"What would you like to order to drink?" The waitress asked them, Izumo said Green Tea, Daniel, Earl Grey. The waitress walked off after taking their order, Izumo glared at Daniel who laughed gently.

"Jealously doesn't suit you Izumo" He said, making Izumo's face light up bright red at his words before looking out the window mumbling "Jerk".

"So.. you asked about Tension One it's the second form of my powers" Daniel said, answering her curiosity she looked at him.

"Second form?" She said sounding like a parrot, he nodded once raising his hands to hold up nine fingers.

"One out of nine. Tension you've seen during the Exwire Exams, my eyes turn golden. And it let's me see in the dark." He added on letting his hands drop to the table, Izumo blinked trying to remember from a month ago. And her eyes widen slightly making Daniel nod, it was when he was on his knees unable to move that his eyes were golden.

"Tension One comes after Tension, my fangs grow more demonic like. And my strength greatly raises that's how I was able to push that Kraken's tenticle off me." He said in a knowledgable tone, which made Izumo's eyes go into slits. Ofcourse he'd know what it would do...

"And what's after that?" Izumo asked in a somewhat annoyed tone, Daniel laughed lightly trying to dismiss her annoyance as if it wasn't even an issue. But as he was about to continue speaking his tone changed to a darker one..

"Tension Two.. my healing ability is raised and my tail grows..." Izumo's eyes changed from annoyance to wonder, he had a tail? It never appeared once, or did he let it slip out even when he was in shorts at the beach.

"Y-You have a tail?" Izumo asked, she felt kinda stupid asking though all demons had a tail it was a huge weak point for a demon. He shrugged lightly as he was about to open his mouth the waitress came back with their drinks setting them down on the table. Izumo picked up her green tea gently blowing the steam off the top of the cup before taking a sip. Daniel on the other hand stared at the rising steam as if he never saw something like it before.

"Daniel? Are you okay?" Izumo question, his behavior was slowly changing at the topic of his tail. Daniel looked at her for a moment before turning to the waitress.

"Can we please have a few more minutes to decide on what to eat?" He asked, the waitress nodded once before walking away to service more customers who were waiting. As she walked off Daniel made sure she wasn't in ear shot before looking at Izumo.

"I.. cut it off when it grows noticable.." He said gently rubbing his lower back, as he did Izumo noticed a twinge of pain on his face.

"I don't want people to know who I am.. not yet. And cutting it off is the easiest way to keep who I came a secret.." He added, Izumo frowned lightly before looking at her glass.

"Then you didn't want me to know either?" She said sounding a little defensive, Daniel shook his head laughing at her words.

"No, I knew you'd find out.. I was hoping it might keep you away not bring you closer. But as my attempt to push you away, I saw it was hurting you.. and me." He said in a quiet tone, Izumo felt her face heating up at his words. She cleared her throat trying to clear the embrassassing air between them.

"And..And Tension three?" Daniel raised his eyes to her a bit thankful she was trying to change the subject, it wasn't easy for him to be so open about his emotions since his dad was the only thing he knew for 15 years..

"Ah.. right my nails grow more into claws and my reaction time increases tenfold. After that I don't know.." He said sipping his tea finally, Izumo looked at him her face finally calming down.

"What do you mean you don't know?" She asked, how could he not know what happens after that?

"After Tension four everything turns hazy.. like a fog.. or dream. I only know I have more forms because of my father telling me, I've only gonna into Tension four. Three times past that once he told me I went into Tension six.. even he has no idea what happens after that..." Daniel explained, Izumo looked a little worried. Daniel wasn't able to tell what happens after four? Didn't that make him dangerous?

"I can tell what your thinking.. I'm dangerous since I don't know what happens after Tension four.." He said sipping his tea once more, Izumo tensed up. Was it that easy to read her when it came to her worries and sadness?

"..Daniel?" She said his name with a hint of question, Daniel smiled trying to clear the tension in the air.

"Yes?"

"Why is it called Tension?"

...

...

...

"What do you mean?!" Izumo asked in a panic as she stopped behind Daniel who continued walking along in the park where they fought once before and where Daniel got arrested moments after...

"It's called Tension cause it slowly eats away at my sanity whenever I relay on my dad's powers. It was a failsafe dad put in me to make sure that he could kill Satan.. when my sanity reachs zero.. he'll have full control of me..." Daniel said as he came to a stop several feet infront of her, his hands in his pocket.. they had finished eating earlier in silence because Daniel asked if he could answer her question when they were alone...

"Is.. that why your almost always calm?" She asked, he nodded once as his eyes turned up to the moon.. it was almost time for a new moon Daniel noticed.

"I try to depend on the Ars Goetia or my side arm.. or my sword the most when fighting. The Ars Goetia drains my stamina greatly after each use but it's a skill dad taught me. Though he wants to control me he doesn't want me to slip up just yet not til he's sure Satan is nearby." Daniel said as if it was normal, like it didn't bug him. Though he said sword, she had never seen him handling a sword ever..

"S-Sword?" She asked in a shaky tone, she wondered if he planned to leave her behind when it came time for his father revenge against Satan would he be lost to her?

"Yeah my sword was taken my Faust.. the schools president. The Vatican doesn't believe my claims about the sword..." Daniel said sounding slightly annoyed by it, as Izumo was about to ask Daniel turned to her..

"It's a sword made from the crown of Jesus Christ.." Daniel said, Izumo's eyes widen. A sword made from the crown of J-JESUS CHRIST?! She shook her head greatly, that was impossible the crown was taken by the Vatican and held as a sacred object.

"That's a lie!" She screamed out, her eyebrows tensed into a scowl only this time she was angry at him for lying to her... for telling her he'd disappear when the time to fight Satan came... It was all a lie, he just didn't want her around him. This was his way of trying to break up with her, was there really something wrong with her even after she went through so much to be with him?..

"You just don't want to be with me!" She screamed, Daniel's eyes widen in astonishment. She closed her eyes as if to try and escape, Daniel reached out for her as he did his finger tips gently touched her cheek. As they did her eyes shot open slightly moist, a single tear fell right down her cheek only to have his fingers block it's path.

"What the hell are you saying?" He said, sounding angry with her.. it was strange to hear him angry with her even when he was pushing her away before his anger was fake.. this anger sounded so real..

"I want you to stay.. what I said is the truth. The crown was stolen during the First Crusade the Vatican freaked out and claim to still have them. That's why they have my sword to make sure my claim of the sword is true, they know they can't keep the sword.. how would it look to the people to know the crown was changed into a sword made for killing demons?.." He said, he gently pulled the single tear away from her face. Bring it close to his face he softly licked it off his finger..

"Bitter... very bitter.. I hate these things.." He said to himself as he tasted her tear, Izumo glared at him rubbing her eyes..

"Ofcourse they're bitter you moron! They're tears you should know they will taste bitter!" Izumo said almost defensive, Daniel looked at her sighing once to her words.

"I thought they'd taste sweet, because you've been sweet to me this whole night while I've been ruining your first date..." Izumo's face turned bright red, what the hell was he going on about now? Complimenting her, even after she insulted him.. even after she said he wanted to leave her?

"Your a moron...your not ruining it.." She said softly, Daniel smirked before reaching out to gently pull her into his arms. She laughed softly in his arms as her hands pressed against his chest, though she could feel the strange shape under his shirt above his heart, though there was still so much to talk about...

"Yes but I'm your moron..."

...Why ruin this moment?...
