Chapter 12: The Demon and the Demon Slayer
OCs are mine
Review Responses
LUCARIO HMV ADVANCED: As much as I wanted to kill him off, I find that with people like Raiser, a damaged pride/ego is worse than any death. Plus since his sister is in the harem, it wouldn't reflect well on Mike.
EternityDragon2610: It's basically just a redesigned Red Queen, for more effective combat. And thanks.
TheLastNanaya: I'm aware of that little bit of idiocy of mine.
Guest: Done.
Extra Chapter 1. Let's do it!
On with the show!
It's been a little less than a week since I defeated Raiser and saved Rias from marrying him. Rias has moved in with Asia, Raynare, Kaede and I and I tell ya that many things have gone to shit. At least twice a day Rias and the others get into an argument over something to do with me: be it sleeping in the same bed as me, taking a bath with me, or whatever else you can think of. Don't get me wrong I wasn't complaining when they came to a resolution, it was just the arguments before, during, and after the resolution that bugged me.
Anyway as for what I was doing now, I was in my workshop, working on my weapons and escaping their current argument over who sleeps with me tonight. It was quieter, but their muffled argument was still annoying.
"If I need to put up with this for one more day..."
[You just need to get used to it. My previous wielders hated the arguments as much as you do, but once they got used to it, they found them rather amusing.] Ddraig said.
{Well I find them amusing already.}
"Shut up!" I sighed. "Maybe you're right. Maybe I just need to get used to it." I said, leaning back on my chair. "But until then, I need some kind of outlet. And I think I know just the thing." I said standing up and grabbing Rebellion. I walked upstairs and the girls seemed to have resorted to plying rock, paper, scissors to come to a conclusion. "I'm heading out for a bit, I'll be back later." I announced.
"Can we come?" Asia asked.
"Sorry, Asia, but I need some me time. Don't worry I'll be back before ya know it." I said while rubbing her head, turning from sad to happy. With that I walked out the door.
{So, where we going?} My dad asked.
"There's a forest on the outskirts of town, and imma make Mother Nature my bitch and go lumberjacking." I explained as I got on my board. After the incident with that stray, I bought a new one. This one was an "Element" board.
Once I reached the outskirts of town and was in the middle of the forest, I took Rebellion out of my guitar case. I placed the blade on my shoulder and just took in the fresh air and the peaceful sounds of the forest.
"Well, time to ruin it." I said as I turned around and swung my blade at the tree behind me. The first slash was diagonal near the top of the trunk. The second was also diagonal, in the opposite direction, connecting with the first slash. And the third slash was a straight vertical cut at the middle. The fourth was another diagonal slash and the final cut was vertical, connecting with the previous diagonal slash.
I stabbed Rebellion into the dirt and shot at every point I cut the tree with Ebony ad Ivory. I placed my guns back in their holsters and placed Rebellion on my back. I turned around and heard the tree, I just assaulted, collapse. All that stood now was a stump. I walked back to the stump and decided to have a seat.
{Feel better?}
"Much." I said as I stared at the sky, that was covered by the leaves. Before I could truly begin to enjoy the sight, I heard a commotion a few miles away. Judging by how fast the birds were fleeing the scene, it wasn't good. I turned in the direction the birds were coming from and other animals, such as bears and deer, started fleeing as well. "*sigh* Time to go to work." I groaned, grabbing Rebellion. I walked in the direction the animals were coming from.
After awhile I started eating gunshots as well. My walk turned into a full sprint. As I got closer to whoever was causing this commotion I noticed that some trees had claw or slash marks on them and some boulders were destroyed. 'More devils. Of course.'
I began hearing a girls muffled voice. I finally reached the source of the voice and I saw two girls, around my age.
The one standing had long white hair that reached her hips and framed her forehead. She had violet eyes and a crescent moon symbol turned 90 degrees. Her outfit consisted of a black headband with ribbons on the sides the rest was a black gothic lolita look, that showed off her well endowed figure. Seriously her chest was on par with Rias an Akeno's. She's really cute too.
The other girl, who was on the ground had black hair with a blue tint, that also reached her hips and was kept in a ponytail by a pink bow.. Her eyes were about a shade darker than the other girl's eyes. She was wearing a long magenta colored kimono. She also had white cat ears on the top of her head for some reason. Either way she was cute too.
The white haired girl was pointing a gun her the other girl's head. The girl with black hair appeared to be injured. "Now you die, you damn monster!" The white haired girl declared, about to pull the trigger. I decided to step in. Before the trigger was pulled, I quickly picked up the black haired girl and moved her out of the way. I moved so fast the other girl didn't even see me. "What!?"
As I landed back on the ground I looked at the girl in my arms. "You okay?" I asked.
"Y-Yes. Thank you." She answered.
"Hey who do you think you are, protecting that demon!?" The white haired girl asked, angrily.
"I'm the guy who was enjoying the peace and quiet until I heard the shit you two were causing." I said turning around and pointing at her.
"Just who the heck are you!?" She asked.
"Name's Michael Williams." Her eyes widened when I told her my name.
"W-What!?"
"I said: my name is Michael Williams." I repeated slowly.
"M-Michael... Don't you recognize me? It's me, Kuesu Jinguji."
"Kuesu Junguji?" I repeated. I put a finger to my head. "Kuesu Jinguji." I repeated again, pondering. After awhile I lowered my arm. "I got nothin." I said normally.
"W-What!? You don't remember me!?"
{I'm rather surprised myself. Even I remember her.}
'Well do ya wanna fill in the clueless guy, old man!?' I asked in annoyance.
{Let me put it simply, she was your best friend as a child, when I was still alive. She was also your fiancé.}
'FIANCÉ!?' I asked it sheer shock. I thought I had heard enough of arranged marriages after Raiser. 'Since when was I in an arranged marriage with this chick!?' I asked, pissed at the fact that I was in an arranged marriage.
{Well, it was around the time you were six, not too long after I gave you Red Queen.}
'Oh joy. A story.'
{It was about a month after you received Red Queen. You took it with you everywhere you went. Even though you were only six years old, you carried it with ease considering it was twice your size.}
'Shut up and get on with the fucking story!' I demanded.
{Fine. Anyway I had been getting aquatinted with a woman by the name of Meruhi Jinguji, Kuesu's mother. Kuesu comes from a family of demon slayers, her mother was unaware that I was a devil myself. When I heard that she had a daughter your age, the thought of making peace with a devil hunting family crossed my mind. What better way than to arrange a marriage between you two?} I can't disagree when he puts it like that. But I was still pissed. {Meruhi and I had decided that we should have you you two meet and get to know each other. As soon as we came up with a day, we rushed home to tell the two of you. You two ended up having a great time together. You became fast friends with her.}
'Then why don't I remember her?' I asked a little calmer now.
{Well after your first meeting, you only saw her about four more times before she moved to Europe. I'm actually surprised she remembers you as well as how much she's changed. Her hair used to be black.}
'I still don't remember.' I sighed in my head.
"Kuesu, right? Might I ask you why you're fighting... What was your name?" I asked the other girl.
"Himari Noihara."
"Why were you fighting Himari?" I asked.
"Did you lose your eyesight as well as your brain!? Don't you she those cat ears!? She's a cat demon!" Kuesu answered.
I looked at Himari, then back to Kuesu. "So?"
"S-So!? What do you mean "so"!? I'm a devil hunter, so I'm doing my job!" This whole me not remembering her seems to be making her mad.
"Well if you're here to hunt devils..." I started, removing my right glove, "Then you're fighting me as well." I stated strongly, clenching my demonic fist. As soon as she saw my arm he had another look of shock on her face.
"Y-You're a devil too!?" She asked. I think I was seeing some tears in her eyes. For some reason I didn't like seeing her cry. I didn't think much of it and kept a serious face.
"I am." I answered. "So if you're gonna do your job, you need to kill me." I said before pulling out Rebellion. "But believe me, I won't go down without a fight."
"I... I..." Her resist to cry was fading, as was my seriousness. I don't know why, but it broke my heart to see this girl cry. I myself soon found it hard to breathe without feeling a large lump in my throat. I think I was, subconsciously, starting to cry. I could feel Himari's eyes shifting from my position to Kuesu's.
"I'm waiting for an attack! I refuse to attack a woman unless she throws the first punch." I said, gritting my teeth.
{Your heart is screaming at you not to fight her! Stand down!} My dad ordered.
"I won't withdraw my weapon, until you withdraw yours." I stated to Kuesu and, secretly, my dad.
Kuesu gripped her gun tighter and she lowered it for a moment. But she soon pointed it at me causing me to grip my sword tighter. "I'm sorry, Mike, but I can't just let a devil live." She said sadly. As I processed this, she shot her gun and the bullet hit my shoulder. Normally a bullet wouldn't do much damage, but hers were enchanted with her own magic.
I dug the bullet out of my shoulder and grabbed my sword with both hands now. She shot two more bullets but I used Rebellion to deflect them. I looked to Himari. "You might wanna take cover, this is gonna get ugly." I told her.
"I-I can't leave you!" She refused.
"GO!" I said flashing my eyes red. She took cover behind a nearby tree. As Kuesu reloaded her gun I tossed my sword into the air, and kicked it towards her when it came back down. I purposely missed her. She looked to where it was going while I ran up to her, sacrificing some blood. As Rebellion stabbed the tree behind her I summoned a giant broadsword that had a curve at the base of the blade and another at the end. There was also a hole at the top of the blade. I forced Kuesu back and pinned her to a tree with the help of the cure at the base of the blade. I also took her gun from her hands.
"H-How did...?" She started, shocked at the fact I summoned a giant sword.
"This is the power of my Sacred Gear, Unholy Arsenal. I can summon any weapon of my choice just by sacrificing some blood from an open wound. Like this." I explained pointing at the area she shot me. "This Executioner Blade is just a taste at why I can do with this. I can have any weapon from a gun, sword, spear, and anything else you can think of." After my explanation, my blade disappeared. "Unfortunately the weapon disappears after awhile, depending on how much blood I sacrificed." I said, still holding her gun.
"You've really matured. You're not the same crybaby I met when we were six." Kuesu said slowly stroking my right arm. "You've become stronger and smarter too. And this arm..." She said holding my right hand in both of hers. "Do you really not remember me?" She asked.
"... I'm sorry, I don't." I answered, taking my hand back.
"I see." She responded looking down. There was a moment of weakness in me and Kuesu took her gun out of my hand and disappeared. Before I could turn around, I felt the barrel of her gun press against the back of my head. "I'll give you one chance to leave." She said.
"Only if you let Himari go too and leave her alone." I countered.
"I'd be in serious trouble just by letting you escape, my family would have my head if I let her go too!" She said.
"Then it looks like we've reached an impasse." I said. I turned around and pushed her hand out of my face, causing her to shot the tree. Then I pulled out Ivory and shot as well, but Kuesu ducked under and swiped my legs. I caught myself on my hands and pushed myself back on my feet, almost kicking her. As she moved back from almost getting kicked by me, I moved to Rebellion. Before I could pull it out of the tree, Kuesu shot at me again. I grabbed Rebellion's handle and flipped over it as Kuesu unloaded an entire magazine. I pulled Rebellion out of the tree and deflected two more bullets.
I pulled out Ebony this time and shot again. Kuesu summoned a ball of fire and the bullets melted before they could hit their mark.
'Thought I was done with fire for awhile too.' I thought to myself. Kuesu threw the fireball at me, but I blocked it with Rebellion. 'Time to change it up.'
I snapped my fingers and changed styles. "Gunslinger!" I withdrew Rebellion and pulled out Ivory and used Honeycomb to shoot a barrage of bullets at Kuesu, who blocked them all with a wall of fire. She sent the fire wall at me but I quickly changed styles again. "Trickster!" I called. I used air trick to appear behind the still moving fire wall. The tree behind me was set on fire but I summoned Agni and Rudra and used Rudra to put out the flames.
"I never would've thought you'd get so tough. In fact I never thought I'd fight you like this." Kuesu complimented.
"And I'm holding back. I recommend you stop this now before I'm forced to try to kill you. I also recommend you accept, the last guy I fought had the abilities of a phoenix and I just about shattered his bones, and his pride. Imagine what I could do to you." I warned.
"I don't want to fight you, but I have too!"
"You don't have to do anything!" I denied. "You think you have to fight me cause I'm a devil. Your family's been doing the same thing for generations, killing every devil and monster they see without trying to make peace with them. I did the same thing for years, but I recently discovered that not all devils are bad, about ninety percent of the devils I've met these past few weeks are nothing but kind and only wish for peace between devils and humans, and I'm living proof that such peace is possible." I said placing my right hand on my chest.
"What do you mean, you're just a reincarnated devil, right?"
"No, I've been a devil/human hybrid since the day I was born. My father was the strongest devil to ever exist, yet he found love in my mother, a human. And from what he told me he and your mother got along as well. As even though I don't remember you, it seems like we got along really well too." I said withdrawing all my weapons. "Your family thinks that peace between humans, devils and other such things are impossible, when in fact it is not. My parents believed that and I was born. My father forever believed in it and found a friend in your mother. And I believe it as well." Kuesu stood there, speechless at my words.
{Hey kid.} My dad called.
'What?'
{I dug into your memories and I found the ones about you and Kuesu, I'm gonna show you the first one.}
'Do it.'
My head had a quick flare of pain, as the memory played in my mind.
Flashback: 6 year old Michael POV
My dad's been telling me about a girl coming to meet me. He said that she was coming today and I was SUPER excited to meet her. I haven't made many friends for some reason, but I wasn't gonna think of that. My dad entered my room wearing a tight purple shirt and black jeans. I focused mainly on his messy white hair and wondered how he gets it messy, yet still makes it look cool.
"You ready to meet your new friend, son?" He asked me.
"You bet I am, dad!" I said happily, jumping off my bed.
"Haha. Well she's in the living room now, come with me and you two can have some fun." He said extending his hand.
"Awesome!" I cheered rushing to the living room without my dad.
When I got to the living room I saw a girl with black hair and a crescent moon on her forehead wearing a white dress sitting on the couch. I may be six years old but I can't help but think she's cute. But now that I was here, I had no clue what to say.
"The least you could do is wait for you old man." My dad sighed entering the room. The girl looked in our general direction. "Kuesu, this is my son, Michael. Son, this is Meghuri's daughter, Kuesu." My dad introduced, putting a hand on my shoulder. "Go get her, tiger." My dad whispered, pushing me closer to the couch where Kuesu was.
"Uh... H-Hi." I said nervously.
"Hi." She said with a lack of emotion. I was gonna hint my dad for some help but when I turned around he was gone. "You look a lot like your dad." Kuesu said, still lacking emotion.
"Huh?" I asked. She repeated the statement about my dad and I looking alike. "Oh. Y-Yeah we get that a lot, but I dot see it." I said honestly.
"If you dyed your hair white you'd look more like his younger brother than his son." She said.
"We get that a lot too." It was at this point I realized I was a lot calmer now. So I decided to ask a question. "Do you uh... Wanna see my room?"
"Sure." She said jumping off the couch. I led her to my room and she stepped in admiring every detail, but kept her neutral expression. "It's really neat."
"Well my dad made me clean it before you came." I told her. She looked to see my acoustic guitar on it's stand in the corner.
"Do you play?" She asked, pointing at it.
"A-A little." I said nervously.
"Play me something."
'I was afraid she'd ask.' I thought. I enjoyed playing guitar but I had terrible stage fright. I couldn't even play in front of my dad.
"I-I'm not that good." I said while blushing.
"I don't care. I wanna hear you play." She said.
"W-Well... O-Okay." I grabbed my guitar and sat on my bed while Kuesu sat on the floor. There was really only one song I could play on my guitar, but I couldn't sing it while playing it. The song was Never To Late by Three Days Grace. I started playing and I felt the feeling I got when I was plying in front of someone. It didn't help that Kuesu still had a neutral look on her face.
But by the time I got to the chorus, Kuesu had a small smirk on her face. That took most of the nerves away so my nervous sharp strums, turned into much smoother strums. I began smiling as I played as well and I started mouthing the words by the time got to the second chorus. When I got to the part before the last chorus I decided to try and sing the words.
Even if I say "it'll be all right"
Still I hear you say you want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it around
Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
Maybe we'll turn it around
Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
It's not too late
It's never too late
I played the notes from the beginning of the song and breathed a sigh of relief as I played the last note. I set my guitar down back on it's stand and I heard Kuesu clapping.
I realized when I turned around, that I liked seeing her smile. Seeing her smile, made me smile too. "I thought you said you weren't that good. I liked it." She said.
"Thanks. Normally I have stage fright, but I thinks you just helped me get over it. Thank you, Kuesu." I said.
"Do you know about devils, Michael?" Kuesu suddenly asked me.
"Um, yeah. My dad's told me some stuff about them, but they're not real. But if they were I'd protect you!" I declared raising my fist. In all honesty though I was a huge coward, I can defend myself yeah, but I'm afraid to fight. But I didn't want Kuesu to know that.
"I can take care of myself. I wouldn't need protection or help of any kind.." She said, with a small tiny of red on her cheeks.
"I think it's better to fight with a partner, rather than fight alone." I exclaimed. She looked like se was thinking about what I said but I paid no mind to it.
The rest of our day consisted of playing video games, drawing and just getting to know each other. I liked Kuesu, I liked her a lot.
Flashback end
I took my hand off my head and looked at Kuesu. "I remember you now." I uttered. Kuesu smiled at my revelation. "I remember the day we met, and playing that song for you." I said.
Kuesu first had a look of happiness, but it soon changed to a sultry looking expression. She started walking towards me. I kept a calm stance but my expression wasn't so calm. Once I saw her sultry look, I got kinda nervous. When she was directly in front of me she placed her arms around my neck, and connected our lips just as fast.
I was so shocked I gave her the opportunity to stick her tongue into my mouth and she simply took in my taste. While she was kissing me I was lost in my confusion. Why was she kissing me!?
Once I came to my senses I played my hands on Kuesu's shoulders and pushed her off of me. I gasped for air, since I didn't wt to breathe much before she attacked my mouth. I looked at her and she licked her lips.
"I've been waiting a long time for our second kiss." She said.
I stared into nothing for a moment before I glanced at my right arm. 'Dad... What is she talking about?' I asked.
{Oh yeah, I found that one too. Wanna see?}
'Yes.'
Flashback: 6 year old Michael POV
Kuesu was coming over again today and as usual I was excited. After our first meeting we only got closer. I even met her mom and she was really nice to me. This was my fourth play date with Kuesu and I was excited as could be. There was a knock at my bedroom door and my dad entered with Kuesu.
"Have fun you two. Meghuri and I will be out back if you need us." My dad said before closing the door. Kuesu and I quickly ran and hugged each other. From what her mom told me she only acts like a normal girl when she's with me, any other time she's as neutral and unemotional as she was when I first met her.
"Hi Mike." She greeted.
"Hi Kuesu. What do ya wanna do today?" I asked.
"Let's play hide and seek." She suggested, said with more emotion than usual..
"Okay, you hide first." I said, laying my face down on my bed and began counting quietly to twenty.
"You'd better not peek!" Kuesu warned.
"I won't!" I said, starting over the count. Once I counted to twenty I was off to find her. I started in my room. She wasn't under my bed, behind the curtains, or in my closet. She's too smart for that anyway. So I went downstairs to the living room.
I looked under the tables, the couch, and even in the cabinets. She wasn't anywhere. I decided to go out back and ask dad and Ms. Jinjugi if they saw her.
I went out back and Ms. Jinjugi seemed to be laughed. Dad probably told her one of his funny stories. I finally moved to where they were seated. "Hey there, kiddo. Where's Kuesu?" He asked.
"Were playing hide and seek. Have you guys seem her?" I asked. They looked at each other and laughed together. "What?"
"Michael, the only way to find Kuesu is to just give up. She's quite skilled when it comes to stealth." Ms. Jinjugi said.
"No way! I'm not gonna quit! I look for her all day if I have to!" I said in determination as I ran back into the house to find Kuesu.
1 Hour Later
I STILL couldn't find her. After searching for what felt like forever, I still couldn't find her. I must've turned this house upside down and right side up again, I was searching so much. I needed a break.
I went back to my room and fell back on my bed with my eyes close. I wasn't quitting, I was taking a break. I slowly opened my eyes again, and there she was. There was Kuesu, right above me, attached to my ceiling. I lied there with my eyes wide and my mouth open, astounded at the fact that she was hanging onto my ceiling. I never would've thought anyone, much less a six year old girl could do that.
"You found me." Kuesu said bluntly. I nodded my head. She released er grin on the corking a landed on my chest. I grunted as she landed on me. "I'm surprised you never gave up." She said.
"I don't know how to quit. I do something until I either win or die, never give up." I said confidently. Kuesu pulled back a bit and just looked at me.
"Would you help me if I was in trouble?" She asked suddenly.
"Huh?" I asked, surprised at her sudden strange question. "What kind of question is that? Of course I would." I answered honestly. "You're my friend why wouldn't I hel- mmph!" I was cut off by Kuesu closing the distance between us. She ended up kissing me! I had no idea what to do, this was my first kiss! I was doubting that it was Kuesu's cause she was REALLY good at it.
While we were kissing I could've swore I heard laughter coming from outside my room.
Flashback end
'Wait so my kiss with Rias...?' I thought in fear.
{Was not your first kiss. That belongs to Kuesu.}
'Oh Satan.' Rias was really happy to hear that she was my first kiss too. Think she'll be pissed to find out she was actually my second?
"I must say you've gotten much better." Kuesu said, licking her lips again.
"You bitch!" A voice cried. I looked behind Kuesu and saw that Himari was charging her with her katana. I quickly pushed Kuesu aside and caught the blade in my right hand.
"Whoa, cat lady! Calm down!" I exclaimed. "What's with the head on assault?" I asked.
"She kissed you in my presence!" Himari answered, glaring at Kuesu.
"And it was very pleasurable."
"You're not helping." I said to Kuesu. I turned my attention back too Himari. "And why do you care if she kissed me? You don't even know me." I asked.
"I watched you in the Rating Game and your fight against Lord Raiser." She revealed.
"Okay? So what?"
"You went through great length to ensure Lady Rias's happiness, even at the risk I your own life. You are strong, caring, an from what I've seen, very kind and willing. You're the kind of man I want as my husband."
"HUH!?"
[{HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!}]
'SHUT THE FUCK UP!' I demanded from my dad and the dragon.
[I told ya kid, your harem is just getting started.] Ddraig said, still laughing.
{You truly are my son! A man with women just BEGGING to marry him!}
'This isn't funny!'
"You damned cat!" Kuesu said, shooting a fireball at Himari. I released my grip on her blade and she dodged the attack. "How dare you try to advance on my fiancé!"
"I shall how you how I dare!" Himari and Kuesu charged each other while I ran to get in between them. As we all reached each other, something appeared from the ground. A giant demonic worm with no eyes or anything, just a mouth, appeared. It spit out some kid of slime as it spoke.
"I have found you, Son of Sparda!" It said. "You're horrendous stench was easy for me to follow, and now I shall avenge my brethren who have been slain by your blade!"
'WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH TODAY!?' I said, readying my sword. Before I could move forward, the two girls that were at each Thera throats stood in front of me.
"I won't allow someone as vile as you to lay a hand on my beloved!" Kuesu cried. Then Himari pointed her sword at the worm.
"You shall fall by my blade, vile demon!"
"You two shall serve as appetizers before I get to the main course!" The worm said, diving it's dripping maw towards the girls. They moved away from te worm and each other, and the worm just ate the dirt. It roared in anger and moved to attack Kuesu, who was in the middle of casting a spell. She looked nervous, so I jumped between them and blocked the worms jaws with Rebellion.
"Didn't mommy teach you not to fight girls?" I said.
"Silence!" It demanded, moving back, only to snap its mouth back at me, with more force.
"If now there was a time to shoot fire at him, it'd be now!" I said to Kuesu as I blocked the worm's mouth again.
"Move!" Kuesu said before shooting a large stream of fire from her left hand. I flipped onto the worms back and turned Rebellion into Lucifer. As I ran along it's back I stabbed some swords into it. The swords exploded as Kuesu's fire made contact with them.
When the flames died down, the worms chard body stood upright, motionless. "Well, that was an experience." I said.
"Wait." Himari said, moving closer to the burned body. She swung her blade and cut it in half. We all looked to see that this was nothing but a hollow shell.
"Oh, shit. He shed his skin!" I realized before a loud buzzing noise filled my ears. The girls and I looked behind us and saw a large moth, covered in spikes, flying above us.
"Die!" It screamed before shooting some of the needles on it's body at us, specifically me, at high speeds. I was stabbed in the chest an the arm and was pinned to a tree. The moth flew past Kuesu and Himari and came for me. It stopped as it got up to my face. It just flew in place, staring at me with it's creepy bug eyes. I suddenly heard a scream and the moth moved to the side and saw the girls pinned to some trees as well. Luckily their bodies werent pierced, just their clothes. Before I kill you, you will watch me devour your friends so that you may feel anguish and despair before you own death." It flew towards the girls and stopped in front of them, and moved it's head side to side. "Now who shall die first?" It soon looked at Kuesu and opened it's mouth.
BGM: Monster Suit from Yu Yu Hakusho
My rediscovered memories of Kuesu flashed in my mind again, and I became severely angry. "LEAVE HER ALONE!" I screamed, tearing the spikes out of my body. My right arm glowed red, as well as the eyes on Rebellion's handle. A beam shot out of the palm of my right hand and went into Rebellion.
"What?" The bug saw my red, anger fueled, eyes and flinched.
I pulled out Rebellion and it changed into a new Devil Arm. One I had seen before. The sword of lightning, Alastor. Lightning flowed from it's hilt to the tip of the blade. I raised my sword and let the electricity from the sword flow into me. I took a running stance with my sword behind me, with my hair covering my eyes, and with a burst of speed I charged the moth.
Skip to 3:02
Before it could react I stabbed it's right wing, in fact I went through it, earning me the pleasing sound of it's screams of anguish. And that was merely a taste of what I had to offer.
I pulled out Ebony and shot multiple bullets through it's other wing. The moth shot more of it's spikes at me. I countered by throwing Alastor, putting a spin on it, in the path of them. It completely tore through the moth's wing, that I stabbed through, forming a giant hole on it's flap. It was still somehow able to fly and it grew som appendages on it's body and grabbed me. "Big mistake!" I said summoning my spectral hand. I grabbed the wing that I shot and completely tore it off, slowly, so I could hear every pain filled scream.
"AHHHH! STOP! STOP!" It begged as it released it's grip on me. I landed and grabbed my sword, that was planted into the ground, with my spectral arm. I planted my foot on the moth's head and started cutting it's other wing, as slowly as the other.
I stopped about a quarter way through and spoke "Now that I have you undivided cooperation, why are you here!?" I asked, threateningly.
"Rgh! I was sent here!"
"By who!?"
"A-A fallen angel!"
"What's a fallen angel doing associating themselves with a demon!?"
"He told us... H-He told us to dispose of you! Said that you would interfere with his plans!"
"I want a name!" I demanded, cutting halfway through it's wing.
"AHHHH! I don't know! He never gave us his name! I swear!" I gritted my teeth and completely cut it's wing off. "AHHHHHHH!" I started applying more pressure and it's head.
"Quit bullshitting me! Either you give me a name, or I crush your skull!" I threatened.
"I told you I don't know!"
"What is he planning!?"
"I don't know! I didn't question him! He just told me that he'd reward us for killing you!" I applied even more pressure.
"Strike two asshole! What does he look like!?"
"I can't tell you! He'll kill me!"
"And you think I won't!? TELL ME!"
"H-He has pale skin and red eyes. And he's got pointed ears and black hair! That's all I know! Please let me go!" It begged.
"The only place you're going, is hell!" With that a crushed his skull under my foot. Alastor reverted back into Rebellion and I placed it on my back. My eyes returned to normal and I tuned to see the girls looking at me with wide, slight fear filled, eyes. Himari more than Kuesu.
BGM end
I walked towards the trees they were pinned to and removed the spikes. "I remember you having a temper, but I never thought that it was that bad." Kuesu said, grabbing her wrist. Without uttering a sound, I wrapped my arms around Kuesu.
"I didn't want you to leave me again." I spoke sadly into her hair. "Now that I remember you, I also remember how sad I was when you left." Kuesu relaxed a d snuggled her face into my chest.
"I'm sorry I left without saying goodbye. I didn't want to see the look on your face when you heard I was moving to Europe. But I always regretted it." She responded softly. I let go of Kuesu and faced Himari.
"Now, about this whole "wanting me to be your husband" thing?" I said slowly and nervously. "I'm flattered and all but with all do respect, you don't know me, and I don't know you. Are you really so anxious to marry a total stranger, especially after what you saw me do?" I asked
"I will admit, that scene was a surprise to me. But nonetheless you protected me and I don't think any less of you. But I suppose you're right, we should get to know each other. But I will not rethink my decision." She answered. At least she was willing to get to know me.
"*sigh* I guess that's as good as it'll get." I then turned back to Kuesu. "Now after what you saw, do you still think that all devils are evil?" I asked seriously.
"You're my childhood friend, of course you'd protect me, even if you are a devil."
"But I've always had devil blood in me. If you can't accept the fact that devils and humans can coexist peacefully, then I have no choice but to see you as my enemy." I stated strongly and seriously. Kuesu sighed before responding.
"Fine. I guess I could try. But my family won't be pleased."
"I look worried?" I asked rhetorically with a stern yet smug look. "If they come for you with any hostile intentions in mind, I'll keep you safe." I said reassuringly. "The same goes for any hunters who try to harm you." I said to Himari. Without warning, Kuesu threw her arms around my neck and brought her face closer to mine.
"HEY! What do you think you're doing!?" Himari asked.
"I'm going to kiss my fiancé. It's my duty to please him, especially after today." She said in a sultry voice again. I then felt something press against my back. "What do you think YOU'RE doing, cat!?"
"If I am to marry him, I will please him as well, and better than you ever could." Himari said pressing her chest against my back.
"To see my adorable servant in such a situation." I heard. The girls clinging to me and myself turned and saw the Rias and the other girls standing there. Raynare looked flat out displeased, Asia was pouting sadly again, Kaede had watery eyes, and Rias stood there with a malicious red aura surrounding her as her hair covered her eyes, but not her disturbing smile.
"Michael, who are these girls?" Kuesu asked.
"W-Well they, Kuesu, are..." I said trying to find the right words.
"Ah, so they are others who admire you? No matter, you are my fiancé, and I'll win in this competition." Why did Kuesu have to say that!? Now Rias had the Power of Destruction forming in her hands.
The next day
After, somehow, peacefully resolving that little "incident", Kuesu and Himari practically forced themselves into my house as well. Rias and the others allowed it, but Rias warned them that I was hers, which resulted in another argument that night.
Since I had no spare rooms left, and I refused to force anyone onto the couch, I decided to let everyone double up and share their rooms.
However when I woke up this morning, I felt heavier than usual. I expected that Rias or one of the others would come in and snuggle me, but I felt much heavier this morning.
When I opened my eyes I saw that I had not one, not two, but three girls snuggling against me. Rias slept naked to my left, Kuesu slept in nothing but her bra and panties to my right, and Himari was in a white kimono with her cat ears and tear exposed as she laid peacefully on my chest.
'Just when I get used to just one girl sleeping with me.' I sighed to myself.
{He just makes me so proud, I think I might cry.} My dad said, tearfully.
[Pull yourself together, Dark Knight, set an example for him.]
'Both of you either shut up, or help me out of this!'
{Unless you wanna wake them up, you're on your own, kiddo.}
[That's right. This is one of the pleasure and burdens of a harem.]
'BUT I SAID I DON'T WANT A HAREM!'
Okay so Kuesu and Himari have joined the harem. For those who don't know, Kuesu and Himari are from another anime called Omamari Himari, in case you wanna check it out. I personally think I made Kuesu and Himari a bit too OOC, but that's cause Kuesu had just seen her childhood friend after so long, and I have no excuse for Himari I'm just stupid as shit but I tried my best to fix that later.
And yeah, this chapter did get a little outta control and random. Okay it REALLY got outta control and random, and I sincerely apologize for that.
Unless I come up with something else, the next chapter will be the last extra one before I move to the Excalibur arc.
Here's the updated harem: Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Asia, Xenovia, Irina, Raynare, Ravel, Kuroka, Rossweisse, Le Fay, Serafall, Kaede, Ophis, Kunou, Himari, Kuesu, Kurumu, Mizore(both from Rosario+Vampire), Karasuba, Uzume, Musubo(past three from Sekirei)
Possible candidates: Moka(from Rosario+Vampire), Maya(from Tenjho Tenge), Lizlet(from Omamari Himari)
Feel free to toss in your suggestions for the harem as well as weapons.
Now onto a side note, AWAY from this story. I'm considering writing a Fairy Tail story, I didn't want to do it do soon, I wanted to do it when I finished one of my other stories. I've been thinking of doing it sooner because I want a change of pace from my other stories, I wanna do something different.
My question is: Should I wait for when I finish one of my stories, or do it now? And no I'm not gonna put a poll for this.
Just answer in a PM and I'll tally the votes at a later date.
