Sorry for the long update and kind of short too, got heavy writer block and spent my time on gaming instead :(
But, thanks for the read, reviews, and there's still more people that faves and follows :)
Here's the chapter 14, enjoy~
Disclaimer : I didn't own any of these Highschool DxD characters expect genderbent Issei (Maybe...) and the canon plot, they all belong to Ishibumi Ichiei.
{Albion} : Albion speaking or Divine Dividing ability
[Ddraig] : Ddraig speaking or boosted gear ability.
''/"" :inner thought/speaking inside the mind.
-xxxx- : Mittelt writing.
I woke up after whole day had passed after the battle with Kokabiel, Sisca-san and Xenovia already left to report about their mission, they also brought Irina-chan with them. At least they could say good bye first…
I pestered Ddraig and Albion to start the training to control Juggernaut Drive right away, but they told me off by telling that I should rest first after reaching my balance breaker. If they not teach me, I won't be so reckless to do it on my own.
But I think I should listen to them, I just achieved balance breaker, I should learn about it more first… The most important thing is the duration, according to Ddraig and Albion, the basic duration will be 3 hours, but with basic training and energy manipulation, the duration could be extended, Ddraig said that his strongest host able to activate balance breaker for 2 months… I'm curious about how they test it… walking around wearing armor for 2 months is quite creepy for me. Ddraig explained that they could feel the duration, so I'm not actually need to wear it for that long.
And my balance breakers duration is shared… which mean 3 hours is for both Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing, but on the bright side, I don't have to train them separately.
There's countdown before the balance breaker start but it can be reduced with divide from initial 2 minutes to 40 seconds, but it is still crucial time, the countdown will reset if I attacked during the duration…
A week flew by everyday routine, until the teacher announced "Class, we have new transfer student." during the homeroom session.
Of course, the class became noisy especially the boys, just like when Ray-chan first transferred in, moreover, earlier Motohama-kun said that the transfer student is a girl.
Seeing the enthusiasm of the class, she instructed the transfer student to come in, what I didn't expect is… I knew the girl… she has shoulder length straight blonde hair, cute face with mole under her right eye, and she smile as always… no mistake… she is Sisca-san.
Sisca-san then turned toward the class and bow, "This is the first time we meet, my name is Kiba Yuumi. If you're wondering that Yuuno-chan is my twin, it is correct." Sisca-san said with smile, the class became more crowded before the teacher interfered.
She also changed her name to Japanese one… and her aura also different… it like she's a devil… Maybe she joined Rias-san's peerage to be close to Yuuno-san.
"I never heard Yuuno-san had twin!" Katase said half shouting.
"We're separated in quite bad terms and lost contact… but now I will live with her and it is quite a shame that we didn't put on same class…" Sisca- Yuumi-san answered with bright smile.
"I've been living overseas for years and I hope that you will take care of me."
"There is your seat, Kiba-san." Teacher pointed to the empty seat next to Ray-chan.
"Thank you Sensei." Yuumi-san answered before walking toward her seat, when she was about to pass my table, she glanced toward me with smile that never faded, "I will be in your care, Izaya-chan, Raynare-chan." She said.
It wasn't until later that I understand her words.
The class started with everyone not able to concentrate from glancing toward the new transfer student… long lost twin sister of Kuoh prince which giving out different aura from her twin, she felt more approachable.
During the lunch break Yuumi-san is surrounded by everyone in class, people from another class also come to see her, then I heard that class next door also had transfer student, it was quite surprising to see Xenovia the bitch there, her aura is different, same as Yuumi-san, she also reincarnated as devil... I really don't expect that she of all people, who declared high and mighty would destroy devils in this town to become devil herself…
Well… finding God's demise is not something can be taken lightly either… I can imagine that Irina-chan will cry three days three nights the moment she heard about it and will be found almost died because of dehydration, but I'm sure, her faith won't be broken by something like this, she'll just shrug it off as God's trial.
Now that I think about Irina-chan, I wonder how she's doing right now… I will ask Yuumi-san later, but right now let her enjoy her normal life.
After school, in the student council room, happened something I really doesn't expect…
"This is Kiba Yuumi-san our new knight, I believe everyone already knew her." Sona introduced her new knight, surprising everyone since she chose to join Sona not Rias-san.
"Hello everyone, please take care of me." Yuumi-san said with playful smile. "And please call me Yuumi-chan~"
"This one is different even though they are twin…" Tsubasa-san giggled as she commented that, well Yuumi-san is more to carefree type than her sister.
"Yuumi-san, why are you not joining Rias-san instead?" I asked, she pouted cutely.
"Izaya-chan doesn't want me here?" she asked with sad tone.
"It's not that… I mean you could be closer to Yuuno-san." I answered her in panic.
"It's not like if we're twin we have to be always together and now Yuuno-chan will not go anywhere far away from me."
"Yuumi-san, you will join the student council in a week, today you will learn for devil's work." Sona said.
"Yes, Sona-kaichou!"
Sona start to lecture Yuumi-san about the devil, especially about setting the contract while the others works on our duty, the parents day is almost there, many things need to be prepared and set up work schedule for the day so event would be success, but my worry still fallen with mom and Sona's mother meeting… somehow I felt that it is more… dreadful than fighting Kokabiel.
On the weekend, Azazel-san suddenly contacted me to go to the shrine outskirt of Kuoh… I wonder what he wanted… he knew that devils aren't supposed to go somewhere sacred, but I followed his instruction since he sounded that this is very important.
Arriving at the Shrine's stairway, I don't get rejection feeling like the shrine near home… I wonder if this shrine is abandoned one… but from the look outside, the stairway looks clean and well maintained, no wild grass grow between the stone pavements.
I decide to quickly climb the stairs, on the shrine yard I find a lady wearing priestess outfit, she had long and shiny black hair tied into ponytail with orange ribbon…
"I've been waiting for you, Izaya-chan." Nee-nee welcomed me, it was surprising that devil could occupy a shrine like this.
"Why are you here Nee-nee?" I asked,
"This is my house, Rias brought this shrine for me after the last priest passed away, this place already 'cleaned' of sacred aura so devil didn't rejected to enter." She answered.
I can see Rias-san is care about Nee-nee… Nee-nee was living in the shrine and her battle wear is priestess robe… maybe to honor her mother or… reject her father…
"That's why I didn't feel rejected earlier, by the way what's Azazel-san want with me to come here?" I asked, since Nee-nee is waiting for me then Azazel-san must be told her about this meeting.
"He only said someone wanted to meet you and set up meeting here." Nee-nee answered.
But who wanted to meet me? So Azazel-san isn't the one who wanted to meet me…
"Do you know who wanted to meet me?" I asked, before Nee-nee answered, from above bright light suddenly appeared, when I look up, a beautiful blonde lady with curly hair and golden saucer above it, her skin radiating light, her body is buxom and on her back spreads twelve golden wings, descend front above.
Female angel with twelve wings… that's mean she's Seraph Gabriel, what's Azazel-san wanted by arranging this meeting…
"You must be Himejima Akeno, queen of Rias Gremory and Hyoudou Izaya, pawn of Sona Sitri." Gabriel-sama said after she landed near us.
"It is an honor to meet with Great Seraph Gabriel." Nee-nee said as she bowed toward Gabriel-sama, I also did the same.
"No need to be formal." The seraph said lightly.
"It would be better if we talk inside, I'll serve the tea." Nee-nee suggested before Gabriel-sama answered my question,
"That sounds a good idea." Gabriel-sama agreed with smile.
We followed Nee-nee to her living room, a simple Japanese room with size of twelve tatamis with square brown table on the middle of the room and a painting as decoration.
Gabriel-sama and I sit across to each other while Nee-nee sitting on the side with wide smile after serving us tea, observing this meeting.
"I forgot to introduce myself because I meet someone important so suddenly, my name is Hyoudou Izaya, Sona-sama's pawn." I bowed toward Gabriel-sama as I introduced myself.
"Nice to meet you Hyoudou Izaya-san, I'm Gabriel, one of four great Seraphs." She introduced herself while smiling still.
"So, what Gabriel-sama wanted to talk to me, humble servant of Sona-sama?" I asked her.
"Please, you don't have to sell yourself low, I know you who defeated Kokabiel-san." She said.
The seraph put off her smile and changed into serious mood, I heard from Azazel-san that Gabriel-sama is a bit of airhead… so it took a bit surprise when she turned serious.
"Rather than beat around the bush, I will straight to the point." She said with her stare directed at me. "I want you to return the Excalibur Mimic that you stole from Shidou Irina."
I sighed when she accused me stealing the Excalibur from Irina-chan, angry? A bit, but don't know if that was the thing reported to the angel... "I'm a bit offended that you said I stole it from Irina-chan, I merely took it back from Freed Zelzan." I explained, but she just smiled at me again, before taking a sip on her tea.
"I saw the report… they said that Mimic is part of the destroyed Excalibur but after it re-forged in heaven, only three Excalibur fragments emerged, but knowing that Father was dead, they quickly branded heretic and we lost track of them… until Azazel-niisama suddenly contacted us about Kokabiel-san's folly and talk for peace."
I sighed when the fact of Azazel-san's name mentioned by Gabriel-sama… he must be the one who told her. "And I assume his blabbermouth tell you that I have the mimic?" I asked her again.
She giggled when I ask that, so it must be true that Azazel-san who told her. "That's about right, he said that Excalibur is in the hand of the current Red Dragon Emperor's host." She answered. "But he never mentioned that you could wear Excalibur casually without proper divination." She said as she pointed toward my bracelet in left hand, it must be radiating holy aura that she able to detect.
"I have my own method and I thought to take care of this Excalibur until Irina-chan come by herself and take it…" I answered her.
Now that I think about it, it is quite weird… true that Excalibur is important to the church, but for a seraph comes to ask it to be returned, it is too… excessive.
"But I never thought that a Seraph would come by to ask me of her Excalibur, or do you have another business with me?" I asked.
"You are quite sharp one… I wanted to thank you that you prevent another devastating war between the three factions… you can choose one weapon from my collection as reward." She answered.
Before even try to hear my opinion, many magic circles emerged on the four directions, from it many weapons with different types and shapes come out. Nee-nee also look surprised by the sudden summoning.
"This is amazing…" Nee-nee said while looking around.
Gabriel-sama then stood up before Nee-nee and I do the same, she gave us tour of her collections, though most of it is weapon with holy elements which should be expected from an angel's collection.
Finally, someone worthy…
"Eh?" I muttered as someone whispered, but the voice isn't resembled with Nee-nee or Gabriel-sama.
"What's wrong Izaya-chan?" Nee-nee asked when I start looking at the surrounding.
"Just now… someone speak…" I answered her, Nee-nee and Gabriel-sama look worried because it seems they not hear what I heard…
Come…
The voice can be heard once more, the voice was clearly woman like… it tried to call me… is it weapon with souls just like Boosted Gear or Divine Dividing?
I tried to trace the source of the sound, then my eyes fallen to a dagger with chipped blade, not only that the design was very simple and how to say it… kind of out of place… other weapons look well maintained and shiny but this one is chipped and look will break if it swung it once… but I cannot remove my eyes from staring it like being sucked in…
I took the dagger by the hilt before turning to Gabriel-sama, she looks surprised that I took interest to the dagger.
"Gabriel-sama what is this?" I asked curiously, after all it is different than the others.
Before she can answer the dagger starts shining in bright light, us three cannot help but covered our eyes from the light. I could feel that the dagger changing shape, the round hilt changed into… hand…
"Finally, someone worthy…" Someone said in flat tone…
When the light finally dissipate, in front of me already stand someone wearing robe with same design with the one Gabriel-sama wear but with black color, I moved my hand that I use to cover my eyes so I can see her face but it is surprising me, her face is the same as mine! What is this really!
"What just happened Gabriel-sama! Why she look like me!"
"Calm down Izaya-san."
How can I be calm! The dagger just changed into human, with my face no less! But her hair color is dark grey and her eyes are black…
"For the first time, ever since Father created that, someone finally able to use it." Gabriel-sama explained…
So this 'girl' was created by God himself and until now no one could even wake her up! Just how much my life can be worse!
"My creator called me Replicator, and I will follow you master till the end of your time or mine." My clone said with flat tone.
Replicator huh… maybe that's why her face is look like me… I think it is a bit rude to decline since she never acknowledged anyone before…
"Do you have a name?" I ask her.
"I'm called replicator master." She answered with flat emotionless tone, it is like she had no emotion at all… maybe God didn't bother to create emotion for her… but at least He could give her some appropriate name…
"That's not a name, I will give you name… from now on you are Asako." I decided to give her a name…
Asako… a name that maybe given by mom and dad if I happened to have a twin… Isako and Asako… it had good rhythm in it.
"My name is Asako…" Asako repeated the name I give to her.
I pulled her hand that I still gripped in panic earlier close to my chest.
"My name is Izaya." I introduced myself.
"Master's name is Izaya." She said with still flat tone.
I released her hand and she bowed toward me. "Now, master Izaya what is your command?" She asked.
I feel it is wrong when someone who literally have same face with you, but have to call you master…
"Call me without master." I commanded her.
"Yes, master Izaya."
"I told you don't call me master!"
"Yes, master Izaya."
"Don't call me with master please…"
"Yes, master Izaya."
I wanted to blame God for everything! Hearing two dragons laughing wildly inside my mind while having the seraph and Nee-nee giggling as if this is funny situation… Can't He made her… less rigid or something!
"I give up!" I shouted in four legs position.
"You are quite interesting one aren't you Izaya-san." Gabriel-sama said in middle of her giggle.
Gabriel-sama then stopped her giggling and smile but her smile feels sad… "Now my business here is done, I only ask you to take care of… Asako… she's a memento of my Father." She said,
I stood up and faced Gabriel-sama. "If she's that important to you, I won't take her from you Gabriel-sama, I'm fine without any reward." I said, but she just shook her head to deny it. "No… I want you to use her rather than she'd collecting dust in the shed… I'm sure she's also happier that she found a master who can use her." She explained, she allowed me to have a memento that supposed to be important for her… "Thank you for something I don't deserve, Gabriel-sama."
I smiled toward Gabriel-sama and she return to her normal smile, when she tried to leave I remembered Irina-chan, since last week Yuumi-san told me that Irina-chan still unconscious when she left.
"Gabriel-sama, how is Irina-chan doing?" I asked her, Gabriel-sama frowned, "She's currently… crying and grieving…" She said with unsure voice. "Michael-niisama decided to tell her about Father's death yesterday… I hope that her faith will not waver."
I smiled again toward Gabriel-sama, "Irina-chan is strong girl and I believe her faith will not be broken." I said.
"Glad to hear that." The seraph smiled again with my statement.
She bowed once before turned toward the door.
"I'll see you outside." Nee-nee offered when she saw Gabriel-sama finally leaving.
"Thank you." Gabriel-sama said.
They both leave from the living room, leaving me and Asako behind, who just watch everything without expression.
Maybe I should learn more about her first, she's capable of speech, she should be able to answer my questions regarding her.
"Sit here with me Asako." I sit at my original position and instructed Asako to sit beside me.
"Yes, master Izaya." She answered while sitting down.
"You called yourself replicator, what is your ability Asako?" I asked.
"My ability is simple, I replicate weapons, anything even the legendary weapons." Asako replied short. "But only half of its true potential." She continued before I ask another question.
I almost jumped in surprise when she told me that she could copy legendary weapons… but should be expected that there's a drawback… just like Sacred gears…
"So what weapons God already input into you?" I asked.
"Holy weapons which belong to heaven and few dragonslayer weapons." Asako answered.
{Try Ascalon, little sister.} Albion suggested.
Ascalon… dragon slayer holy sword that belong to heaven, I wonder if it was inputted into Asako…
"Asako, do you have Ascalon?" I asked her following Albion's suggestion.
Asako then closed her eyes for a brief seconds, the opened her eyes before answered me. "Yes."
"Try to change into it." I said to her.
"Affirmative." Asako said as she glowed in bright light… I should get use to this light…
When the light dissipates, a sword is floating in front of me.
"What do you think, Ddraig, Albion?"
[Certainly the aura felt weaker than the real one, but… you will practically own every weapon in this world.]
{Just think of it as your third sacred gear, little sister.} Albion commented in amusement.
I sighed at Albion's comment… two already bad as it is now I got the third.
"Return your form Asako." I commanded, she returned to her human form.
"Asako do you have standby form like bracelet or necklace?" I asked since there's no way I could brought her home with this form… I wish to keep hazing mom and dad minimum except for real emergency.
"Both are available, which one you prefer, master Izaya?" She asked.
"Bracelet please, Asako." I said to her.
"Affirmative." She said with her flat tone, I have to be accustomed with her tone and I hope I could teach her some feelings… I don't want her to be just a weapon…
She took my left hand and turned into bracelet rounded on my wrist where I put Excalibur mimic on before, she turned into simple bracelet with white colored gem on top.
"Izaya-chan."
I turned toward the one who called me, it was Nee-nee who already come back from sending Gabriel-sama out.
"Ah, Nee-nee… sorry that we used your house for meeting…" I said toward her, she just smiled and walk inside. "No… I got to know something interesting though."
She then sit beside me and lean her head in my shoulder.
"What's wrong Nee-nee?" I ask since she suddenly does this, not that I mind it…
"Just let me lean on you Izaya-chan…" Nee-nee asked me not to ask…
"Sure." I answered.
We just silently enjoyed each other company, until Nee-nee decided to speak.
"Izaya-chan… when will you make me your mistress?" Nee-nee asked me with serious tone, unlike before when we say farewell before Rias-san's game with the Phenex.
I can't immediately answer her question… I used to like her… but when I cannot say farewell that day, the feeling faded… but when I finally met her again… I even come to hate her for her misdirected hatred.
When we finally reconciled, I only thought her as my family, a big sister who loves to tease her little sister…
I could feel something water dropped on my shoulder where Nee-nee leaned her head, she cried… I made her cry in fact… I made her cry with my silence…
She then pulled her head off my shoulder and pushed me down to the side, locking my shoulders with her both hands so I will not run from her.
Tears already streamed down on her cheeks and chin, a line of water trace could be seen on the bridge of her nose from her earlier cry on my shoulder… there was no trace of her usual playful smile or sadistic one… all I can see is heartbroken girl… Seeing her like this… I know that her love for me is real…
"Izaya-chan… do you hate me?" She asked, she look broken and ready to shatter depending on my answer.
"I was… once…" I answered truthfully… I hated her once when she tried to hurt Ray-chan… for directing her anger just because Ray-chan was fallen angel…
Listening to my answer, she look pained, her tears dropped on my face, I may use deceit to my advantage, but I will not lie to those who important to me.
"I was once hated Himejima Akeno, queen of Rias Gremory… but I never hate Himejima Akeno, my elder sister." I said, "That one week I spent with you were something I still cherish…" I said as I placed my hands on her cheeks and wiped her tears with my thumbs.
"I'm really happy that you love me… thought of me romantically Nee-nee… but would you give me time so I can return your feelings?" I asked her, her tears start flowing again and dropped some of it on my face, but this time she looks relieved… I have to apologize to Sona and Raynare later that I will love another again…
"I love you Izaya-chan… I hope you can return my feelings soon."
Nee-nee descent her head with her eyes closed, I also closed my eyes, not long after I could feel her lips overlapped mine… a simple kiss without extra addition, lasted about a minute before Nee-nee removed herself from me.
She giggled as she wiped her remaining tears, "I just give you my first kiss…" she said, smile already returned to her face.
"When can I give my virginity to you?" she asked with teasing tone, her default.
I smirked to her question, "You're jumping the gun again Nee-nee…" I sighed after I said that, Nee-nee just laugh it off on top of me, I smiled before I join her laughing.
