High School DxD: Fallen Redemption

Chapter 21: Fallen Confession

"Hahahaha! Wow, you really did like that pervert. I taught you were joking!"

"Kuro, why are you doing this?"

"For fun. Perhaps, for something else."

"I don't understand."

"Course you don't. No one really does anyway."

"What do you mean?"

"Have you felt alone? Rejected because they fear you? Well, it wasn't surprising since I fed off that fear, and suddenly they stopped showing it, then tried to kill me. I killed all of them. Women, Children, Men, Devils, Angels, Fallen Angels, and even fellow Demons. I killed them because they feared me, even if I get the chance to make a friend, he or she would wound up dead, you know. A being of darkness they say, something no one could defeat, not even God. Well, they were right...and wrong. God did not defeat me, but I didn't kill him. I don't know why really. Some shit he said, I think he called it mercy. I didn't believe him though since I thought he'll spout bullshit about good or bad, right or wrong, or anything related love and friendship. He told me I...was just...lonely. I rejected him, of course 'til he died. I came to realize that what he said was complete shit. He didn't know what I went through, so why I even listen to him? It's pathetic...he gave me pity when I said no, and look what happened to him. Dead, with no one who heard his last words."

Raynare held her hand towards her shadow covered hand, and began to pull.

"What the fuck are you doing?!"

She struggled, finding a way how. She activated her Sacred Gear once more, which further weakened it.

"NO! DAMMIT!"

She finally pulled it out and threw it across the area, where it began to reform back into Kuro's normal self.

"I didn't know you were this smart. To be able to do such a thing requires my permission to be executed."

Raynare took a deep breath, and opened her eyes. She rushed towards him.

His wings fired dark shots while his tails moved to impale her. She dodged all of it and continued on. Once she neared him, his arm became a blade and thrust it into her stomach. She spat out blood.

"Hmph, what were you thinking of doing that shitty move?"

She slowly moved closer, and...hugged him, shocking Kuro.

"I-I somehow understand you. All you wanted was someone to be with you, through thick or thin, or someone who sees you as you and not someone else. God gave you pity because he knew you are capable of the same thing. He knew you were capable of love, friendship, and any emotion. No one truly understands what the other person experienced but we can try, can we?"

"FUCK YOU! YOU DON'T GET IT! I-"

"NO, you don't get it! Remember you asked me if I was scared? I...I...I...I lied. I w-was scared, but not at you. I was scared that the person I loved became this. I always reminded myself that you're still you, regardless of what will happen. But every time you try being evil, I fear what would happen if I won't be there for you. It's true that I don't like what happened before you saved me, but I learned from it. I became who I am now. Kuro, please stop this. For me. I love you and I want to be with you forever." Raynare kissed him before she became unconscious.

"I-I-I AHHHHHH!" Kuro clutched his head, trying to control himself.

"Onii-chan, I won't let you leave! You need me, and I need you! Don't leave me!"

"Don't you fucking imitate her, you mind controlling illusion shit!"

"GET OUT OF ME!"

"NOOO!"

A bright light flashed throughout the area.

Church, Real World

Kuro woke up from the entire deal. He looked around to see that not much has changed. He saw that Rias and her peerage, and their allies are losing against Kokabiel, Valper, Freed, and Cerberus. Raynare, still unconscious, was beside him. "Don't worry, Ray. I will finally end this." He stood up, picked up Raynare, and rushed towards the battle.

The Battle

Everyone was losing against Kokabiel, even Issei.

"Is this all? Pathetic."

"Oi, Kokabiel, leave them alone."

"Kuro, I see that you have been released from the mind control. But it's too late."

"How about me vs all of you assholes, right now?"

"Ha, as if."

"Hehehahahaha, really?"

"Hmph, pathetic of you, you don't understand the power of the Excalibur."

Kuro went to the injured Xenovia. She looked at him, then he said, "Bring out Durandal."

"W-what?"

"We don't have time for this. Hurry up!"

Xenovia did as she was told and summoned it. He removed the bandages surrounding it. He held the Holy Sword, remembering its feel. "Ah, been a long time since you were brought out. Well, let's kick some ass." Kuro also unsheathed his own sword, then brought it closer to Durandal. "By God's order, these Holy Swords shall join as one to defeat His sworn enemies." The two swords glowed then combined, forming a white version of Durandal. "DURANDAL TYPE: ILLUMINATION!" Everyone was shocked at what they witnessed. He looked at Xenovia, who was looking at awe. "Don't worry, Xeno-chan. Onii-chan is here." With that, he ran towards their opponents.

Xenovia pondered on where she heard that before. Then, her eyes widened as she realized where and when.

Italy, 10+ years ago

A young girl was crying alongside the rubble of a house while two stray devils are looking at her.

"She looks delicious."

"I agree. Let's kill he-" He was suddenly decapitated.

"What the f-" His partner was stabbed in the back then sliced in half.

The girl looked up at her savior. He wore a gray ninja outfit, had a black scarf, had black hair with a few bangs hanging over his bright yellow eyes, and had his shining blade beside him.

"Don't worry, little one. Onii-chan is here."

A/N: Hello, everybody. Kuro is back on the good side and ready to kick ass. But first, flashback time. I know, I know, I'm dragging this arc and fight way too long. Relax, you'll get what you want, just wait a while. Plus, I'm ending the fanfic this year to continue the others. Don't worry, it has a sequel. So, what do you think? Read, Review, Critic, and Comment without bullshit. Have fun and enjoy.
