AN: A good day (or night, I don't know since it's different for each country~!) to you all! Time for the next chapter in this story~!
withdranwnmadness000: Yep, another dragon emperor will join the fray~! One for the Devils; Wake, One for the Angels; ?, And one for the Fallen Angels; ? Try to guess which one would take Vali's place~! And yep, that was Irina~! As for Muryama and Katase having a Sacred Gear, not so sure myself, so if you have an idea, then please tell me~!
Guest: That's a good suggestion, so I think I'll do it~!
Tmax 99: Thanks~! But about your suggestion, I plan to let Raynare stay with Issei because she likes him (The reason will be explained soon enough~!) and I don't really know about Kalawarner so I'll think about it~! So for now, she'll stay where she is~!
GhostRipperD31H: Oh right, they'll be shocked soon enough once they find out about what Wake can really do~! But as for how they took it easily like that, it's because of the trust they developed over the few weeks they were together, I guess~! As for your question about Irina, yep~! He'll be surprised about it~! And she will be the main girl~! And for your suggestion, I'll take it into consideration, I just have to think about which one, so thanks~!
reppuza: Yeah, I know that they're supposed to be the most powerful dragons but here, they are only second to the Dragon Council that I made up~! And don't worry, Wake's not really invincible, just that I gave him really weak opponents~! He'll have a challenge in a few chapters or so~! And he might become a political once a problem arrives that only he'd be able to solve~! He'll have a lot of trouble in the future~! And thanks~!
This chapter will mostly be about the thing they talked about during the flashback at Kyoto, since I didn't really state what they talked about before~!
Now for the story~!

Chapter 9: Training Begins and A Reunion
*Wake's P.O.V*
*BEEP! BEEP!*
Ugh, what time is it? I looked at the clock and it read 6:00 am… Well, I better get ready, even if it is a weekend…
"Suuuu…." A cute voice sounded from underneath the covers. She must have sneaked into my bed again…
"Jeanne, wake up. We need to do something today." I said as I shook her gently with a small smile. She sneaks into my room sometimes to sleep next to me. I never really understood why she does this, but I can't say that I don't like it. Hehe, don't tell her I said that~!
"Ummm…. Good morning, Wake-kun~" She said after getting to a sitting position while rubbing her eyes cutely~!
"Good morning~! So mind explaining how you got in here again~?" I asked her as she blushed a bit while looking to the side~! Such a cute expression from my Knight~!
"N-No r-reason…" She replied while I just laughed, making her pout at me.
"Sorry, sorry~! But seriously, I'm going to start toughening the pervert up~!" I said while gaining my sadistic smile, making Jeanne shiver in fright~! Hehe, I should probably tone down a bit~! Can't have them too scared now can I?
"L-Luckily I'm not the one you're training…" Jeanne said as we both got up and prepared to start the day.
(Time Skip)
"Alright, come on Hyoudo-san! Keep on marching!" I shouted out as I jogged while telling Hyoudo-san to continue with his exercise.
"D-Damn you, Archus! Why the hell am I even doing this!?" He complained as his breathing was getting heavier and heavier the more we continued to jog. We've been doing this since 7 this morning all the way to 3 in the afternoon. We were about to finish up since we already reached today's goal. But before we finish up…
"Oi! Hyoudo-san, we're going to start your training with your Sacred Gear." I said as he paled at what I said. "Don't worry, I'm not the one you're fighting," I began and he visibly relaxed. "She's your opponent." I pointed at my Queen, who just arrived with the rest of my peerage, except my two Kendo girls since I wanted them to rest to for today and introduce them tomorrow, along with Rias-san and her peerage. I'm guessing they want to watch the fight.
"Well… At least it's not you. I would've died if you're my opponent!" Hyoudo-san complained much to my humor.
"Okay that's enough. Akeno-san, please put a barrier up." I requested as said girl nodded and set up the barrier. I then faced the two competitors who were now facing one another.
"Now you two, get ready," I started as the two of them summoned their gears; [Boosted Gear] for Hyoudo-san and [Divine Dividing] for Vali-san. "Get set," I continued as they took their fighting stance. "And, GO!" And they're off!
"Haaaahhh!"
"Orrrryyyyaaaaaa!"
*BANG!*
*BANG!*
{DIVIDE!}
[BOOST!]
Their respective gears resounded. But Vali-san has more power with her right now. Hyoudo-san boosted to regain the power he lost, but Vali-san added his power to herself with her Sacred Gear's ability. So Hyoudo-san, how will you overcome this challenge?
[Partner, be careful of the Vanishing Dragon's ability! Even if you gain more power, she'll just half it. Its other ability is troublesome as well. She gains the power that you lost!] Oh, it seems that Ddraig-san is already awake within that boy. But how long has the Red Dragon Emperor been awake?
"WHAT!? So while I become minus, she becomes plus!?"
{So you were awake, Ddraig?}
[Aye, Albion. But this host of mine is still weak.] It seems that the two dragons are conversing with each other. But does Ddraig-san already know that I wield the one that helped seal them?
[BOOST!] And it seems that their power are now on an equal scale. How will this end? Though I ask that, I already know the outcome of this spar.
"Hmph, it seems that you are still lacking the strength to beat me…" Vali-san said with a sigh as she flew up. Uh-oh, if she uses that, won't Hyoudo-san have no chance?
[I think that that is what your Queen is planning, Partner. It seems that she grew bored of this fight.] I have to agree with you there, Dragold. Sigh, it looks like I have my work cut out for me with this boy…
[Hahaha! Well, I wish you luck with that then, Partner.] Yeah thanks, I'll probably need all the help I can get just to get rid of his perversion…
"[Balance Break]…"
{Vanishing Dragon Balance Breaker!}
And finally, the [Balance Break] of the White Dragon Emperor, [Scale Mail]. An armor similar to my own [Judgement's Armor] except this one was white and of a different design. It has yellow eyes and all of the jewels' colors, this one is the colored blue. Her Sacred Gear appears on where it originally was and the helmet was different as well.
"I'll be ending this fight now, rival-dono." Vali-san said from inside the armor as she got into a battle stance as well. Hyoudo-san looked scared and then he looked at me.
"O-Oi! What the hell!? I thought this was just a normal spar!?" He shouted as he dodged a punch from Vali-san.
"It is a spar. But did I say that you couldn't activate any special power here? No, I did not~!" I said with a slight chuckle. But the expression on his face tell me that he's not as amused as me, oh well~!
"Enough talk, concentrate on fighting!" Vali-san said as she charged again! Hyoudo-san couldn't dodge this time and got hit on the stomach.
"Guuuuaaaahh!" He was then sent flying towards a tree and knocked out cold. Sigh, I thought that he could still be able to fight…\
"All right, that's enough for now." I said as Vali-san canceled her [Balance Break] and went to stand next to me. At the same time, my phone rang, do I seriously have to be the one to do all the jobs!? Haaaah, let's just see what it is first…
Wake
Go to Kyoto, they say that it's ready for you now. There should be someone to pick you up there.
From Dad
Oh so they finally finished the blade?
"What was that about?" Rias-san asked as they all tried to look at my phone.
"Oh nothing. Hey guys, sorry but I need to leave for Kyoto." I explained as Jeanne realized what I was talking about.
"So they finally think you're ready for it." Jeanne said as I nodded while everyone looked confused.
"Yeah, Yasaka-san's going to give it to me once I arrive there. I've been waiting to finally get it~! I'll gain more experience with this~!" I said as everyone, except Jeanne, looked shocked. Koneko-chan, Akeno-san, Rias-san and Elmen-san were releasing some killing intent, Vali-san was doing the same albeit in a smaller amount, Yuuto-kun was just laughing nervously and Hyoudo-san, who woke up before this conversation, looked envious while looking at me. Weird.
"Wake! What do you mean by that!?" Huh? What does that mean?
"What do you mean, Rias-san?" I asked as Jeanne moved back a bit, as if ready to run at a moment's notice.
"Ara ara, it seems that Wake-kun would be losing his V-card at Kyoto. Fufufu~!" Akeno-san said with a dangerous glint in her eyes! W-Why does she look like she's ready to kill!?
"… Wake-sempai's going to do it with another girl." Wait, what!? Koneko-chan, what am I going to do with another girl!?
"I can't believe you're doing this…" What do you mean by that, Elmen-san!?
"Lucky Bastard!" That's a normal reaction from Hyoudo-san but why now!?
"You should explain it to them properly, Wake-kun." Yuuto-kun said with a nervous smile while Vali-san opted to stay quiet. But explain what!? I didn't-!? Oh wait, don't tell me they misunderstood my earlier statement!?
"W-Wait! I didn't mean it that way!" I tried to explain. "I told you guys before that I went to Kyoto last year right!? I was talking about picking up a sword that has been reacting to me there! That's all, I swear!" I desperately explained as they calmed down, phew, crisis averted…
"Wait, Wake-kun, what sword are you talking about?" Yuuto-kun asked. Oh man, I forgot that I needed to talk to him about that first…
"Hey everyone, can you please leave me and Yuuto-kun here for a while. We need to talk…" I said as they all nodded and left for to who knows where.
"Now then, Yuuto-kun, I want you to promise me that you won't get mad ok?" I asked as he looked confused but nodded none the less.
"Ok I'll get to the point, then. I'll be given a Holy Sword when I visit Kyoto." I said as he looked furious when I mentioned Holy Swords but I raised my hand to stop him first. "Listen to me first. That sword reacted to me but since I'm a Devil, I couldn't touch it until they finished putting the seals, which were done recently. Look, I know you hate Holy Swords but you gave Jeanne's Sacred Gear a chance and you two still became friends. So I hope we can still be friends." I reasoned with him, he seemed to calm down somewhat but still hesitated a bit. "Okay, how about this, once I get back, I'll spar with you using that sword to see if you can beat a true Holy Sword. And besides, I'll probably use that sword to fulfill the promise I made with you, dude." Yuuto-kun smiled a bit after relaxing.
"Fine, but make sure that we do fight with swords once you get back, kay man?" He said as he held his hand out for a hand shake, which I gladly took.
"Great~!"
(Kyoto Station)
Ahh, that was a boring two hour train ride~! But where's the person that's supposed to take me to Yasaka-san's place?
"You must be Wake-dono." I looked at where the voce came from and I saw a man with a really long nose and reddish skin, must be a Tengu…
"Yes that's me, and you must be the escort?" I asked as he nodded.
"I am. My name's Sojobo, it's nice to meet you. Now please follow me, Yasaka-sama has been waiting for you to arrive and Kunou-hime has been eager to see you again." I chuckled when I heard that, Kunou-chan did get attached to me the first time I was here~!
"Hai~! I can't wait to see her to~!" I said as we began walking towards Kyoto Castle.
(Inside Kyoto Castle)
"Yasaka-sama, I have brought him." Sojobo-san said as we heard a "Come in" from inside as we entered the huge room.
Inside said room was Yasaka-san sitting on the head table, a brown haired man that I've never met before wearing a white kimono with eyes that looked like a storm was brewing in them and another was a woman of great beauty with long black hair, orange eyes that have the warmth of the sun in them. Who were those two? And I wonder where Kunou-chan is?
"Onii-chan!" My question was then answered as a blur of golden hair tackled me into a hug. It was my favorite little fox, Kunou-chan~!
"Yo~! How've you been, Kunou-chan?" I asked her, getting a "Good~!" from her~! I then faced the other occupants of the room and bowed respectfully.
"It's nice to see you again, Yasaka-san. And may I ask who the two of them are?" I asked while pointing at the two occupants sitting next to Yasaka-san.
"It's great to see you again as well, Wake-kun. But as for your question, well these two are…" Yasaka-san started, only to be cut off by the man.
"Haha! I'm Susanoo-no-Mikoto! Nice to meet you boy!" The man said as the woman started pinching his cheeks. Ouch… "N-Nee-san! Please stop it!"
"I am sorry for my brother here." The woman apologized while looking at me. "My name is Amaterasu-ōmikami, it is very nice to meet you." She introduced herself after letting the man go…
W-Wait!
"D-Do you m-mean that y-you both are t-the God Susanoo-sama and t-the G-Goddess Amaterasu-sama!?" I asked as they both nodded with a smirk on their faces. "S-Sorry for the lack of respect…" I said nervously, scared that they might be mad.
"Hahaha! Don't worry, kid! I wouldn't kill the one my sword chose!" Susanoo-sama laughged out as I breathed out a breath I didn't know I was holding…
"Ne, Onii-chan~! Can we play later~?" Kunou-chan asked as she looked up at me cutely~!
"Sure~! Once we're done here, I'll play with you later okay?" I told her as she nodded.
"Ahem." Yasaka-san got our attention. "Come on, we need to give you the sword." I nodded as I stepped forward after letting go of Kunou-chan.
"I wonder if you can control it…" I couldn't hear what Amaterasu-sama said but it must be funny since she was giggling.
"Now here's the sword~!" Susano-sama said as he handed me a pure black katana blade with a white grip. "This is the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi!" The katana itself produced a lot of Holy Energy, I felt shivers run down my spine as I held the sword with my own hands. But then the sword started to swing on its own!
*SWISH!*
*SWISH!*
"What the-!? Woah!" This thing's out of control! I can't even control it yet!
*SWISH!*
*SWISH!*
I still can't get this thing under control! Why's it even doing this this!?
"Hahaha! It seems like you still need to earn its respect, boy! Owww!" Susanoo-sama said but was then slapped on the back of the head by Amaterasu-sama! But why haven't they told me about that yet!?
*SWISH!*
"Fufufu, since you still can't control it yet, you'll have to seal it for a while." Amaterasu-sama said as she touched the blade and it turned into a bracelet on my right arm. Phew, I was getting tired of swinging it!
"Thanks for that, Amaterasu-sama…" I breathed out as I took a minute to compose myself…
"Wake-kun, since you haven't been fully accepted by it, you'll have to keep it that way unless of an emergency." Yasaka-san said as she went over us with a smile while Kunou-chan went over and hugged me on my leg.
"Onni-chan~! Can we play now~?" Kunou-chan asked me with a cute little pout~!
"Hai~!" I said as I thought about that sword… Man am I going to need help to control it… Oh well, I'll just think about it next time~! For now, I need to play with my favorite little cute fox~!
AN: And that's a wrap~! It was hard to decide which sword to give him but since it was in Kyoto, I thought; why not the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi? But I looks like he'll need help to use it~!
Okay, I have a question for everyone. Who do you guys think should be Wake's familiar? I think Tiamat would be a good one but what do you guys think? And if you have a suggestion for any peerage member's familiar, please tell me.
