Chapter 7: My Past? (Why is it coming to light now?)
Okay this is a new chapter. No it is not a special. I will get to that after the fight with the phoenix clan.
This will be very interesting so, continue reading!
I do not own High School DxD, but only the OCs and my idea of making this story. Anyway, enjoy!
As I woke this morning, I noticed something was wrong. I couldn't tell what it was, so I blew it off when I smelled food. I could tell that Asia decided to cook breakfast for everyone, since I was still sleeping.
'To think that I could have such beautiful women wanting to live with me is so awesome!' I thought to myself as I stretched.
"Sage,! It's time to wake up! We are going to be late." Raynare yelled up the stairs to me as she, and the others were waiting for me. I usually show up late to school, but I have been woken up early to prevent that.
"*sigh* such nice people love me. Even after my harsh treatment towards them." I said to myself.
As I was getting dressed I noticed the scar on my neck. I became really happy, after the "incident", and it was easier to talk to others.
As we were walking to school. I was singing "A Song I'd Like To Sing" by Hatsune Miku. The others were just laughing while I was practically skipping my way to school, while jumping on benches.
"Sage. You know you bring a lot of attention to yourself by doing stuff like that." A blushing Kalawarner was saying as others were staring at me.
"That's the point. I want others to be happy after listening to my music. And everyone is smiling now so, it worked." I stated while walking normally again with a smile as the others just smirked.
"Sa-san is so funny." A very confused Asia said as I reached the school gates.
After school; as usual, we all headed to the clubroom. Oh! You're all probably wondering about Kalawarner and Raynare. They were accepted into the school, and are in the same class along with Asia and me. They all live with me, and attend the meeting with the ORC everyday. Although Raynare and Kalawarner are still not devil, or in bucho's peerage, she still has them deliver leaflets with me and Asia. It is actually fun but tiring. I now have to walk to get that done, because four people on a bike, is not going to work.
We are all currently expecting to get checked out for our magic capabilities by bucho and Akeno.
Why have I not had that done already? Okay, so remember in the beginning when I didn't like to interact with others, and didn't like to be touched. Well due to that I never let others touch, or come in a fifteen foot radius of me. If they do; unfortunately like Kiba, they have to deal with me freaking out and nearly trying to kill you. I attacked Kiba, because he had come to hand me tea, but approached me way to fast. It didn't help that he was a guy either. I ended up kicking him through the wall.
After that bucho ordered everyone not to come any where near me. I ended up in the corner of the room crying my eyes out and shacking, as bucho and Akeno tried to comfort me. They are the only ones who have been able to actually touch me. But it was only due to their teasing, so I never had time to react."
'Just thinking about it makes me feel sad, I mean I the "The Sage of Death" is afraid of others! Not possible! What ever. I should loosen up a little.' I thought to myself as we all approached the old school building. I had my arms wrapped around my head, like how a boy would, earning a lot of attention from the other girls at school.
After awhile, I was able to speak to the other student. I also became the number #1 playboy at my school, and earning scolding's from bucho every time I ended up bringing a girl home. I always ended with a blushing Kalawarner and Asia, an angry Raynare who calls bucho and Akeno over. Bucho who apologizes to the poor girl that I just stolen her innocence from. Due to their huge crush on me, and my horniness, or so bucho likes to call it.
I would occasionally get scolded by Akeno, who would always hug me and tell me that I could always ask her for help, when I need a "Release" is what she called it. Man I couldn't believe any thing that could make my life any better at those moments.
Anyway, we all entered the club room. As I entered, I noticed a very distressed bucho. She is way worse, than usual. Lately she has been distracted. she was walking, and almost ran into a pole, outside of class. Luckily I was able to grab her, but I always ended up hurt. I don't know what her problem is, but I know I am about to find out soon. Judging by the small, it's something that I hate the most.
"Bucho, bucho…. BUCHO!" I yelled causing everyone to jump.
"Ye….yes? what is it?" she asks shyly.
"Nothing." I said in a mockingly voice.
"Then why did you call me?" she sighed then held her head, as if it hurt.
"Bucho are you okay?" I asked that and everyone looked at me in shock, then turned away fast. That's when I knew. They were all informed about this matter, except me. I felt really hurt, but didn't show it.
"Sage. Tomorrow, I don't want you to show up at the meeting." She states while looking at the floor.
"Fine. I know this has to be important." I stated with a face that showed no emotion. I truth, I was really hurt.
In one quick movement, I grabbed bucho and I picked her up.
"Kyaaaaaa! Sage what are you doing?" a frantic bucho yelled.
I didn't blame her. I had picked her up and our position, isn't the best looking one. For her, anyway. I had her sitting on the desk, while I was in between her thighs and pressing into her. she was blushing madly, and I was emotionless. I just stood there until I hugged her. she seemed surprised.
"Sage….. stop. I can't… not right now."
"Promise." Is all I sated. She stopped arguing and hugged me back. Everyone stared at us and then blushed.
" I know what this is about, and you don't have to tell me. If you don't want to do this just tell me and I will fight for you." I stated with pure determination. She then began to cry while holding me tightly.
I got up, after she stopped crying and looked up and smiled. I headed for the door, but stopped after I opened it. Everyone looked up in surprise. I turned around and looked at them all. I then, with a glare stated:
"Burnt chicken…. You smell like him." Then walked out. Leaving everyone in their own thought, I was already in mine.
Rias POV
How did she know? I never even let out a sign of it, and I'm sure no one told her. I made sure to tell themnot to tell her especially. This could mean trouble. Knowing her she would kill him.
I suddenly blushed.
"Burnt chicken…. You smell like him." Does this mean she smelled my hair? It is really embarrassing to know that she did that.
She could be very, dense. She doesn't know what personal space is anymore, since she got over her fear of others. She clings to everyone, while always making a big toothy grin. She makes it really hard to tease her when she does that cause me and Akeno always are at a loss for words. She really has changed, but she is still holding so much back from me. I feel sad that she doesn't trust me enough to tell me these things. I am her older sister now, and she finally calls me one-sama without blushing. She did it in school one time, and everyone now think I have a younger sister complex. And they all call me that to. She really is troublesome
I can't really say anything though. I didn't trust her enough to tell her about my problem, so I don't blame her if she is angry with me when this is over. My poor pawn will be torn from her master, and there is nothing she can do about it.
I then said my farewells to the other members as they left. I was lost in my thought as I tried to figure out what I was going to do about my visit from my fiancé tomorrow.
Sage's POV
Today I woke up feeling very….. Emotionless. If the person I think he is, is coming for bucho then my life will end in only a few days. For some reason I don't even care. I just had no emotionless. The same bastard who had me killed before. He decreased my name, turned me into a fugitive, and took all I had. I utterly hated this man. He destroyed everything, and ripped me from my master. I vowed I never leave her side, but I did and I hated myself for it.
"Hahahahahahaha! To think he would have the audacity to show his face."
I then proceeded to my normal routine.
All day, I never spoke unless spoken to. I had a lot on my mind but I always made sure that all the girls didn't notice.
My day went by very fast, to my relief. I then proceeded to walk home, but as I approached the school gates, I felt his presence. And then I heard a loud scream, followed by another. I knew who it belonged to. It was Kalawarner and Raynare. I made no move to run to the clubroom, instead I just walked there in silence. As I approached, I just laid my back against the door, so no one heard me. I heard yelling, gasps, scoffs, and whimpers. And then I heard Asia scream, and a loud thud. I then heard Raynare begin to whimper, and loud grunts. I already knew that he would do this.
You may think me cruel, but I made no move to enter. I just listened. I then hear bucho speak, and she sounds terrified. I wasn't even angry, I had no emotion. It was all blank, yet I knew just what I had to do.
"How long are you going to stand there you coward!? I know you're there Sage. Are you so scared that you would let your friends get raped? How pathetic. Come in, I'm sure you want to kill me. So I'll give you that chance." Riser said to me mockingly.
As I entered the room, I notice Asia passed out and Akeno holding her, crying. Kiba and Koneko are by Kalawarner as she is laying on the floor, bleeding. Her tore off their wings. And there on the table, Raynare was bleeding and whimpering. He was on top of her, while smirking at me.
I then entered the room.
Rias's POV
Riser just entered. He was siting on the sofa with his arm around me.
"Why are you here?" I ask in a harsh voice.
"I can't come visit my future wife?" he said in a mocking voice. "So why are there fallen angels in here?" he asks in disgust.
"They will become apart of my peerage." I stated.
"Oh. That's s interesting. How?" he asked in pure curiosity.
I then did something I should not have done.
"they have to remove their wings, but Sage refuses to because she doesn't want anyone to get hurt anymore."
"Ha! I can fix that problem." He stated coldly. He then Grabbed Kalawarner and Raynare's wings and immediately began tearing their wings off while holding them down. Everyone was to terrified to do anything. We all watched in horror as they both screamed.
Asia came and tried to heal them, but Riser kicked her into a wall. He then began to rip off Raynare's clothes and raped her. no one could even move. All I could do was cry.
Sage's POV
I walked into the room, their was no emotion on my face.
"Don't try to act strong Sage. You know you want to kill me."
"Yes. I do. But my master told me to not show up. I take that as a command as to not kill you."
"huh! You just stay there, then if I rape the blonde one, you'll do nothing?"
"No! I will be forced to watch, and hear everything. That is until my master gains the courage to finally order me to kill you." I said those words coldly.
"Ha! Then I guess I'll take that as an invitation." He said as he walked toward Asia.
As I said, I did nothing but watch. Everyone just looked with pleading eyes for me to do something. I stood there emotionlessly. That is until bucho spoke up.
"Stop!"
At that Riser stopped. He then sat back down. I proceeded towards the window. I leaned against the wall, with my face the same emotionless tone.
"Is that all you're gonna do? So you're gonna continue to stare?" he asked me in a cold tone.
"Yes. Until bucho asks me to end your miserable life, then I will watch you until you leave. I will not risk everything I have again for your stupid taunting."
Just then his whole peerage appeared behind him and bucho as they sat on the couch. I noticed the fear in his eyes and smirk.
"Is the little pigeon scared?" I asked to provoke him to send his cronies on me, giving me an excuse to end his life right there.
As expected he did. At that moment I let out suck an immense amount of aura out at one, causing everyone to stop in place and flinch.
I was sitting on the couch smirking at Riser, as her looked angrily into my eyes, but I met him with the same stare only way worse. Akeno got everyone healed, and stood behind me on the other couch, making it look I was the leader.
"You will pay with your life for showing your face here, you damned dog!" he yelled losing patients.
"Likewise. And your death; I promise you, won't be quick. I will make you pay for all that you have done. You made her cry. I saw it, and you made her cry." I stated in the coldest voice I have ever used.
Just then I noticed a light, and out came Grayfia-sama.
"You two must stop arguing." She states coldly, only making Riser sweat drop. "Are you not taking me serious Sage?" she asked me while giving off a dangerous aura.
"No love. I just can't muster the strength to show any emotion. If I do, then the shitty pigeon will already be dead." I stated as I walked up and approached Grayfia.
"You are having it a bit rough I know. I have come with a proposal, from Sirzech." She said in a more loving voice. When I was a few feet away from her I brought her into my embrace and roughly kissed her.
She did not fight back, but kissed me back while holding onto my neck as support. When I opened my eyes, I could tell they were from that day. Laced with betrayal, hatred, and sorrow. They were hard, as if they could pierce into your soul.
Everyone gasped at seeing my action, and the fact that I looked a little older, maybe by 2 years.
"Grayfia-sama, I thought that you and ni-chan were…" a blushing bucho stated.
"We are. But I often slept with Sage, in her previous life a long time ago. On your brothers permission of course."
This shocked everyone. I just smirked and kissed the women before me, and once again she kissed me back.
"You know, I never liked that forsaken man anyway. I just don't understand you. You fell in love with that idiot. Such a detestable man. Are you sure you don't…"
"No Sage. I cannot. I love that so called detestable man. And you're just saying that cause he had you killed."
"That and the fact that he used me as a present to give to bucho's mom." I stated sourly.
"Anyway, please do mind what happened. It is something I will explain later. First. Rias, do you wish to marry Riser?"
"No! I will never marry him. Not after what he has done to my servants." A very serious bucho stated.
"Then, you will fight in a rating game. You should be happy Sage. If she said yes, your life would have been given as a gift for the couple."
"HA! Does that fool really believe he has control of what he does with my life. He shall pay for his own incompetence." I stated calmly.
"HA! A rating game. You would lose as you are. I will give you a week for training, no I'll give you two so your servants can heal to, although it won't make a difference." Rise stated mockingly before he left in a flame.
"Um…. Okay I know it's not the time but, does anyone feel that Sage's personality just totally did an 360 on us." A confused Kiba asked.
"I agree."
"Okay. What? Is it let's talk about Sage day or what?"
"Maybe." Asia says after barley waking up. We all stare up at bucho who is shacking and crying.
I quickly, not even knowing what I was doing grabbed her and hugged her.
"Bucho…. It is not your fault….. Please don't blame yourself….. It's just….. Please stop crying." As I said that she stopped crying and stood there, with no emotion.
"Then why did you just stand there. You knew what was happening yet you did nothing. If it's not my fault, then whose is it. He brutalized and raped my precious servant, yet you stood by and did nothing!"
I felt really hurt. "I am sorry….. I should have…"
She then pushed me away. I met eyes filled with so many emotions. Hatred, fear, sadness, and guilt. She blamed herself. I knew she couldn't bring herself to think she was too weak to protect them so I will be the person to blame. I will be the punching bag, and let the others as well hate me.
"Rias! How can you say…" Akeno spoke up angrily, until I silenced her.
"It is my fault. I apologize. I was just too scared to do anything. Please forgive me." I stated with a fake smile.
As that day ended, no one spoke to me. The girls avoided me, and I laid on my bed crying. I would have done something, but without an order from bucho it was impossible. I would not have been able to move my body. I dreaded for tomorrow to come. The girls haven't called me down to eat yet, indicating that they must hate me for letting that happen to them. Raynare is a rook, and Kalawarner is a Bishop.
All night I cried. Because, my master and my family all hate me, I am about to lose everything I care about again, and I will either die, or lose my sanity in the next few days, although it still resulted in death and I knew it.
Today we start our training. No one will talk to me so I walked on ahead. I didn't want to stay there with them any longer. I couldn't handle it. I just didn't want to feel the cold hatred from them. I screwed up, and it was only because of cared to much to lose bucho and the others.
They would have been taken from me. I thought that if I at least fought for their wishes, then I could die without regret and move on to the next life. But it is killing me to know that they all got hurt instead. I approached a mansion, and saw that the others caught up. Bucho was frowning, and had a red mark on her face. It looked like someone slapped her.
I put down my bag a stretched.
"I am going to…. Um….. I think…. Train….I don't even know." I stated before I started walking off towards the nearby woods. No one made an effort to stop me so I continued only thinking,
'When am I gonna die?'
I then walked back to see everyone looking at me in surprise. I went through the bag I put down, and grabbed the guitar I brought, and then proceeded back to the woods. I would drown my sorrows with the only way I know how.
I didn't notice the others state to follow me.
When I made my way to the forest, there was an area that was just grass, a river, and a cliff.
I took out the guitar and started to play. I ended up playing "Puzzle" by Hatsune Miku.
When I was done I was crying and the others were at the end looking at me with smiles with tear filled eyes.
It was a day we all spent crying, and a day I realized I only had 2 weeks left to live with this new family.
