Finally back! Chapter thirteen of Silent Fall.
I plan to at least have one or two more casual chapters before we start jumping into action again.
As usual, most of my notes will be down at the bottom after this chapter is over.
So just enjoy yourself until then.
Fuck it, here's one thing I really want to put out.
Guys, maybe not all authors do this, but I still go through my previous chapters and check them for errors. I know for a fact everyone usually makes a few mistakes from time to time. But, I won't know that unless someone tells me. No one has done so yet. So please, let me know of errors so I can fix those, and not bug the hell out of people who want to read good stuff.
Okay, now you can read.
'I really need a new secret spot.' Indra thought as he watched Akeno and Raynare conversing over how quality time alone with boy in question would be divided.
Indra had planned on heading to the store today to stock up on junk food. But, the girls were already awake before he was, and as usual, they wanted his attention. Honestly, is one day to himself too much of a request? Indra was certain he didn't want to have that question answered, it would only irritate him more than he already is.
"Indra?" Indra came out of his inner musings as Akeno was leaned forward in front of him, a concerned look on her face.
"You okay sweetie?" She asked.
Indra wasn't going to beat around the bush. "No." He said.
Akeno sat down next to him on the couch, and waited until he seemed open to conversation.
"Pressure." Was all he said, as the nadeshiko put the pieces together. She smiled comfortingly and hugged him, her large breasts engulfing him arm in warmth.
"Oh sweetie." She said leaning her head into his chest. She looked up at him. "You know you can tell us if you ever need some time to yourself. Goodness knows that you need it. There's nothing wrong with wanting some time by yourself." She said.
Indra began to smile. Leave it up to the girls to be understanding...most of the time. And, it was just Akeno in this case.
They both leaned a bit closer until they could taste each other's lips. They separated with a light smack as Indra stood up, with Akeno following.
"I'm going out for a while. Try not to destroy to house, hm?" Akeno giggled as Indra left through the door.
"See you later!" She called out to him.
As Indra left his home, he decided to visit one of his favorite cafes. It was that one maid cafe about 4 blocks west from the school. To add to that, he was still hungry, since Koneko hogged all of the breakfast to herself.
Now with a purpose, Indra began to move at a jogging speed.
How he been paying more attention, he would have felt that ominous presence he did a few days ago when he took Raynare out.
As Indra jogged to the cafe, he couldn't help but think of desert right away. Lately, Koneko had been his raiding stash. And while he loved her, he was still territorial over his sweets.
"Welcome master!" Indra was greeted by the maids at front like last time, and he regarded them with a smile.
"Please follow me master!" A girl with black hair and mage-Wait. He recognized those eyes.
"Rena?" He asked.
The girl blinked before she processed her name was called. "Yes? How do you know my name? I haven't told you yet." She said.
Indra smiled a small smile. "You were the one to serve me last time I was here." He replied.
Rena gained a look of recognition. "Oh, I remember now! Welcome back!" She smiled.
Indra sat down at a lone table in the corner as Rena took her notepad out. "You want the same order as last time?" She asked.
Indra nodded. "Yes, please."
"I'll get that right out for you." She said as she delivered the order to the kitchen. As Indra waited, he began to think once more. It was still quiet now, though he didn't know for how much longer. It would be a lie to say he wasn't expecting some sort of conflict to happen, even if it was a small one.
However, he wouldn't take this time of solace for granted. It was always wise to enjoy moments like this.
Indra spent at least ten minutes thinking to himself before he heard Rena's voice again.
"Here's your order! A premium platter of fried rice." She said, handling the dish with expert care.
As she set the plate down on the table, Indra just happened to reach his hand out. His hunger was beginning to bark at him, taking over somewhat. But when he made contact with Rena's hand. He froze for a moment. Indra was by no means a sensor, or a magic specialist, but he knew a magical signature when he felt one.
Rena, was not human. Not with that kind of concentration. From what Indra could feel of it, it was like when you make a snowball. The magic was copious enough to at least put a high level devil or angel to a decent challenge. But it was also compact. It was sealed up right to prevent any sort of detection, but with his own natural ability to not only sense magic, but natural energy, it was almost barely noticeable.
He would have to find time to figure her out, later though. Right now, his stomach called for sustenance.
Smiling, Indra dug in. As he enjoyed his food, Indra took some time to get a better look at the staff. Yes, it was just a maid cafe, but he was going to beecome a regular here, and Indra liked to know the people he would be frequently visiting.
"Mind if I sit here?"
Indra knew that voice. He regarded his godfather with a nod as the grey haired man sat next to him.
"How are you Indra? Any trouble?" He asked.
Indra shook his head. "None."
Daisuke smirked. "Indra, I know you." He said, before his smirk settled into a fatherly smile. "You know you don't have to hide from me." He said.
Indra thought for a moment. Indra cared about Daisuke, like he was a natural second father. The grey haired man had taken him in and sheltered him until it was Indra's time to leave the nest. Yume was just like a second mother. He loved both them very much like his birth parents.
"Just need some time to myself. Too much attention." Daisuke nodded with understanding.
"With all those girls you attract, it's not surprising. You know, your father was the same way." Daisuke said, making Indra raise an eyebrow.
Daisuke nodded with an amused smile. "Oh yeah, he was a magnet for attractive women. You inherited that from him. It wasn't too hard hard to see."
Indra blinked. When exactly was it predicted he would make girls flock to him?
"You were about 10 years old at the time." Daisuke said. Indra wasn't sure if the older Kaneshiro read his mind, or if he just paused in his speech.
"And you have your mom's gluttony." He said, making Indra stop eating so that he could scowl.
Daisuke laughed at the expression being sent at him. Indra did not find it funny. So what if he ate a lot? He was a growing boy!
"I'm just yanking ya, Indra. I'm 287 years old. I need to have some fun in my life just as much as yours. We're both still young."
'Right, young.' Indra thought as he rolled his eyes. He grinned slightly. Yes, he actually found it quite funny, how supernatural beings aged. His godfather was nearly three centuries old, and he still looked like a healthy 40 year old.
Actually, now that Daisuke has brought it up, Indra's birthday was close. Today's date was the 17th of August. In two weeks, he would turn 18.
"Fun aside, all you're really concerned about is your space huh? That's another thing you got from your dad. He was comfortable being around his friends, but he needed to separate from time to time to "recharge" as he put it." He said.
Indra nodded. That sounded like him alright.
"Oh, welcome sir. What can I get for you?" Rena came back over to check on Indra, and saw Daisuke sitting with him.
"I'll just have a slice of apple pie. Thank you." He said. As Rena wrote the order down, she looked at the two.
"Are you related?" She asked.
'No.'
"No."
Rena blinked. "Are you certain?" She asked. Now that she was looking, the only really similar quality they had were their bright eye colors.
"Okay. Your order will be out in about 10 minutes." Daisuke nodded his thanks as he watched her leave.
"She's not human." He said with a smile as Indra ate.
"I know." Indra replied.
"Her magical signature isn't nearly as dark, so that crosses out the devil option." Daisuke said.
"Yokai?" Indra guessed. Daisuke didn't give a verbal response.
"She's not a fallen, that's for sure. She doesn't have that sultry air about her."
Indra chuckled. "You would know."
Daisuke smirked back at him. "Damn right I do." He said.
Indra smiled as Daisuke had himself a laugh. Rena then came back with a small plate with a slice of hot apple pie.
Daisuke smiled at the sight of it, and thanked Rena. "It smells good. Thank you young lady." He said, picking up his fork and taking a small chunk out of it.
The pie was hot, sweet, and the texture was just right.
"Exemplary. My compliments to the chef." He said. Rena giggled and left.
"I didn't ask earlier. What are you doing in Kuoh?" Indra asked.
Daisuke wiped his mouth with a napkin before it settled into a thin, straight line.
"Remember the meeting? Azazel wants Yume and I to attend, as I'm sure you've heard." He said with Indra nodding.
"I thought that I may as well come to town early and have good look at what we're up against. My battle instincts tell me that Kokabiel was just the beginning." Indra took that as a important note.
Daisuke then smiled. "But apart from that. I'm taking some time to indulge myself before the important stuff comes along." And now he was back to easygoing.
Daisuke finished his pie and left a perfectly cleaned off plate.
"I'll see you around Indra." The white haired nephilim waved to his godfather as he finished his own meal.
Indra was now at the market, looking around for what would be good for dinner later. He saw plenty of good selections, perhaps an American dinner would be nice?
As Indra browsed around, he suddenly got a chill. That feeling again. He looked around and eventually saw that saw figure he saw a few days ago. Eight feet tall, and a white sundress and straw hat.
Indra noticed that everyone was completely oblivious to this woman. Which meant she was obviously supernatural. Now begs the question, why had this woman taken an interest in him? It was once more obvious, due to the fact he was the only one to detect her presence, and he was the only one able to see her.
Indra gazed at the woman with an analytical gaze, and the tall woman gazed right back. Her eyes were a dark shade of green. Rather unusual, but not enough to draw attention. He couldn't really say anything since his own eyes were abnormally bright. Though, that was more of rarity rather than being completely out of place.
When Indra blinked, the woman was gone. This made him raise an eyebrow. He was really questioning this whole situation. The sudden interest, then disappearing? Okay, he could see some of that. Perhaps she was just sizing him up, trying to see what he was capable of. Yeah, that sounded like the most logical assumption.
Indra shook his head and started down the street. Perhaps she might show herself again later. Then he could confront this stranger.
...
As Indra came upon his house walkway, he noticed something off as he approached the door. It was quiet, unusually so. With how many people that were occupying his home, it should be as a noisy as a classroom.
Indra opened the door and looked around. There were a few notes let on the kitchen counter.
He picked up the first one, which he recognized Raynare's handwriting.
'Azazel called for me and Kala for a mission. We should be back around midnight. I love you.
-Raynare'
Indra smiled as he set down the note and looked at the other one.
'Master Indra,
Please excuse our absence. We were called by lady Ravel for a sort of reunion. We will gone for a few hours at most. Once more we apologize for our absence. We will get back to our duties with you as soon as we can.
-Yubelluna'
Indra sighed. Well, he had the house to himself at least.
He looked at the clock and saw it was about 5:00pm, not even close to being dark.
What could he possibly do now to pass the time?
Indra went up to his room and sat on his bed. Perhaps a nice nap would give him some peace of mind.
He opened his window and allowed some warm air to swarm inside, and balance out with the cold conditioned air. He smiled. Indra loved the summer weather.
Laying back on his bed, Indra pulled a few pillows under his head and let the soft cushions lull him to sleep.
...
As Indra was slumbering soundly, a curious head peaked through his window. It was the head of a young woman. A very tall young woman.
She had been watching the young boy for days, and had tried thinking of a few ways to get to him. But it seemed today was a very fortunate day. There was no one else in the house, and he was sound asleep.
The young woman smiled as she shifted in order to come through the window. Now standing at a size of 6 feet, she could move about much easier inside the house.
She stood at the side of Indra's bed, and looked at his face as he slept. He looked so calm, so at ease. She raised a hand, and brought a finger close to his face, before softly poking him.
The woman smiled. "Cute." She commented.
It was here, she made her decision. This boy fascinated her, and she found him to be cute. She liked cute things. So, she would stay close to make nothing harmed her little cuteness.
As she made her way to the window, she heard a noise, movement. She turned around the see that Indra had awoken. She quickly rendered herself invisible, and watched what he did.
Indra himself was quick to become alert. He couldn't see who was here, but he could certainly sense them. His eyes scanned around his room slowly, until he focused on the window.
"I don't know who you are, but I feel your presence." He said.
The woman then revealed herself, making Indra step back and unfurl his wings, positioning them protectively around himself. The feathers on his appendages, were glowing with holy magic.
"Indra?"
Indra blinked.
"Your name. It's Indra?" She asked again.
Before Indra thought about replying, he took in the woman's appearance.
She stood about a head taller than he, and she had silky, raven black hair going all the way down to her back to her shapely hips. Her eyes were a deep dark green.
It was the woman from before, but why did she look normal? Last he saw her, she was a solid 8 feet tall, not 6. Indra himself stood a 5,8.
"Yes." He finally replied.
The woman gave him a smile, making him curious. Suddenly, she was before him, and was hugging him, as if he were the most precious thing in the world, and that he might disappear if she let him go.
Indra also noticed this woman's bust size was absolutely huge. If Kalawarner's bust was big, then Indra could easily say this woman beat her by a landslide.
Where his navy haired lover was a F cup, this woman was a K. There was no competition.
"Whpph aph umph?" Indra asked, but it was muffled by the large, fleshy pillows.
The woman noticed this and moved a little, allowing him to look up at her and speak properly.
"Who are you?" He asked again.
"I'm Hachishaku." She said.
Indra blinked. Hachishaku...Hachishaku... The name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
"Why are you here?" He decided to ask.
Hachishaku ran his fingers through his hair, which he found to be quite pleasurable. Hachishaku smiled seeing him settle in her breasts.
"To be with you." She said, as if it were obvious.
Indra chose not to respond, and just laid his head on her chest as she began to gently scratch his scalp.
"Hmm." He hummed. 'I think I can get used to this.'
"Finally home." Raynare said, as she and Kalawarner set down on the ground and called their wings back. The moon was now high in the middle of the sky, and the stars created a beautiful map that only few could really read.
They opened the door and noticed it was really quiet. Yes, Indra was the most quiet one in the house, but he would usually at least have the tv on, or playing his games. It was a weekend after all.
Casting a look back at her friend, Kalawarner shrugged.
"Maybe he's in his room. You know how much he likes his space." The navy haired woman said.
Raynare nodded, but at the very least, she would check on him. What kind of girlfriend would she be if she wasn't concerned?
She ascended up the stairs, and into the upper hallway and headed for his room. From the crack under the door, she could see some light. That meant he was most likely watching tv or playing a game.
She quietly cracked the door open and peered inside.
Her eyes widened when she saw Indra asleep, while being held by a woman she had never seen before, running her fingers through his snowy locks.
She reacted accordingly.
"Who are you, what are you doing here?!" She shouted, creating a light spear.
The woman holding Indra gently set down the boy and moved to greet Raynare. Kalawarner had come up the stairs with her own golden spear, heading her friend's shouting.
"I am Hachishaku." She said.
Raynare and Kalawarner both paled. "H-Hachishaku, as in Hachishakusama?" Raynare asked.
"Yes."
Raynare swallowed her nerves. "Are you here to hurt Indra? Because we won't let you!" She said, raising her spear.
The pale woman shook her head. "No. I want to be here." She replied, confusing the two fallen angels.
"You mean..." Raynare trailed off.
"Yes."
Raynare and Kalawarner shared a look.
"Uh, I think we should talk about this downstairs." The blunette suggested.
"Okay." Hachishaku complied and followed the two downstairs.
...
"So...why did you take an interest in Indra?" Raynare started.
The tall woman put a finger to his lips for a second, before smiling. "He's cute." She said.
Raynare and Kalawarner sweatdropped. This woman was rumored to be a cunning demon that hunted and killed children, and yet...
She was either naive, or maybe it was just a cover. Her instincts were really yelling at her for the latter.
"So you just decided you liked him when you saw him?" Kalawarner asked.
Hachishaku nodded. "That's right." She replied.
Raynare and Kalawarner shared a look. "Okay, but first we need to know. Can you fight?"
And it seemed Raynare's instinct was right, because the tall woman lost her gentle expression, and it was replaced with a blank, cold one.
"I like to believe myself capable of handling vermin." She said, it was much more stern than her softer tone she previously used.
Raynare and Kalawarner nodded. "Good. Then I don't see very much issues here."
The tall woman was no fool. She knew that just because Indra was young did not mean he wouldn't have enemies. She could feel his power, and it was certainly powerful.
That was actually another reason she had become interested in him. Most of the children Hachishaku had interacted with were human children. Indra was only half human, and he radiated such a unique aura.
And she liked it.
"So, how many is that now?" Kalawarner asked, pulling out a pen and notepad from her bosom.
"Eighteen." Raynare replied.
The tall woman raised an eyebrow.
"A lot of girls like Indra." The ravenette said.
Hachishaku smiled. "Well I wouldn't understand if they didn't." She said.
This remark made both Raynare and Kalawarner laugh.
Only a few days went by, and Hachi was fitting in nicely. Indra wanted to give his new lover a nickname since saying her real name in public would bring trouble, and she really liked being called Hachi.
The name Hachishakusama was legendary among Japanese people. A demon, who takes the form of a young woman or and old lady, wearing either a kimono or a white sundress with a hat. The one thing that never changed about the story was her height.
It was said that Hachishakusama would single out children and then take them away, before she killed them.
As much as she hated to admit it, Hachi did confess that such stories were true. Indra wasn't going to waste breath berating her for what she did in the past. It's not like it would bring any dead children back from centuries ago.
Apart from the backstory, Hachi was lonely. She spent centuries wandering the country of Japan as it evolved, watching as young became old and passed on, and the cycle repeated.
Until the three factions started inhabiting the Earth.
But now, she had someone to share her feelings with. There wasn't much more she could ask for.
Now, all of the house's tenants were in the living room, with the girls around, and piled over the only male in the house.
With two pairs of breasts mushing against his neck and head, Indra simply just smiled. It was just another day in the Kaneshiro house. The best part, was that there was still more to come.
Well now, I believe it's time for more notes and explanations.
First off, I know it's been a while since the last update. However, I'm now a Senior in high school, and I do take my work seriously. So, doing my work usually takes up most of my time, since there are usually a lot of deadlines to be met.
There are also some times where I get too many ideas at once, and take some time for my mind to calm down some, before I sit back down with my keyboard.
I'm sure some of you know, it's best to just get the through important things first before the luxuries can be indulged in.
Now, I'm done with the stuff about IRL. Let's get to the notes like I always do.
The pairs. I've previously confirmed that it is a mass harem, so hopefully I won't find myself repeating this too much.
Also, I thought that I may as well say that the first lemon is coming right up, just for a quick notice. I won't go into very many details.
Now, the introduction of the Japanese urban legend, Hachishakusama.
There is actually two hentai versions. The Hachishake Hachiwa Keraku Meguru: Igyou Kaitan verison, and the Toshi Densetsu version. I've decided to use the Toshi Densetsu version of her. For whatever reason, I just like it more.
Now I'm done with that one, onto the (hopefully) last one.
Harem - Raynare, Kalawarner, Yui (Trinity Seven), Levi (Trinity Seven), Akeno, Koneko, Kuroka, Karlamine, Siris, Xuelan, Mira, Yubelluna, Ophis, and Gabriel.
(Damn, another one) Now, here is where I spent more time thinking.
The requests for Sona, Serafall, Reya Kusaka, Momo Hanakai have been processed, but as such I tried to change accordingly. For instance Serafall and Sakura Kirishima have similar roles, so Serafall is just going to completely fill that spot.
A nurse - which is still needed - is still going to be in the group. Can't rely on Asia forever-Well... I guess you could, but you get the point!
Now... I guess I'm through? Yep, looks like it.
Okay guys, hope you're enjoying the calm before the second storm. If you have suggestions, questions, etc, feel free to leave them. And, I will see you all in the next one.
