Chapter 21:

Thank you all so much for reviews. I just recently returned from USCG boot camp. Unfortunately they discharged me for medical reasons. I'm still young though so I'm not overly worried. You know… I don't know why everyone says the food is that bad in boot camp. ._.'

So I just finished ½ Prince the novel and I discovered there's Mpreg in the actual story. I was like WTF!? So I'm trying to stay somewhat close to the storyline (though the ending is going to be completely revamped obviously) so I guess my story will have Mpreg… But it's not going to play any major part. Neither Harry nor Caelus will be getting pregnant. :P

Game Start

He was correct about their reactions. His family put him under house arrest until he was fully healed but at least they were still allowing him onto Second Life. Missing a day was okay but missing five days… not so much in Caelus' books.

Harry sighed. A month! A freakin' month of house arrest! Gui delivered all of his work (Tian Lang did it if the squib was busy) so he never left the palace. Actually he rarely ever left his room in the beginning. He'd actually refused to live in the Hospital so the nurses and doctors had had him moved to his room and put on bed rest. The only reason those orders were followed was because of Doll. Having her brother injured in the real world so many times finally pushed her patience and emotions passed their limits. On his third day of bed rest when she caught him walking she had an epic flip out session.

"Gege what are you doing?"

Harry winced at his little sisters' tone and slowly turned with a sheepish expression. The hand that had gone to rub nervously at his neck froze halfway there when he saw the absolute livid expression on her face.

"Um…"

"Do you know how worried and stressed and sad I was! You were gone for a week Gege! A week," she shrieked. "You said you weren't going to leave me!"

There were furious tears dripping down her cheeks but she paid them no mind as her tirade continued, "You are a grown man Gege! You were in a war! You should know to take better care of yourself."

"Doll-"

"Don't you Doll me! You will get back in that bed and you will follow the Doctor's orders or you will suffer my wrath!"

And in that moment Doll was the eighteen year old princess of China. Her stance was unwavering and fierce, her head held high.

Harry couldn't help but feel a little awed. This was the first time he had seen his sister act like royalty. He chuckled and Doll scowled saying there wasn't anything funny about neglecting his health the way he did.

"No little sister, there's not. But right now I couldn't help but feel proud and a little sad."

"Why?"

"Because you're a grown woman now. A true princess. Unfortunately I wasn't able to be around during your childhood. But, I'll take what I can get," he replied with a cheesy grin.

Doll had frozen for a second before smiling softly and herding him to bed. After that Harry had decided that it was more trouble than it was worth to get out of bed. Of course they had physical therapy sessions so he wouldn't lose too much muscle mass but that still didn't help with his boredom problem. In the end he had asked his parents to bring him an obsidian coin and had Doll fetch his demonology books from his trunk.

The second week of his month stay in bed had been spent researching everything on President Barbas. A demon that controlled thirty six legions in Hell and appeared as a massive lion when summoned. He was also one of the few demons willing to heal. Actually, he was the only demon willing to heal for such a low price.

But he was wary about what Paimon had said about his magic being the price. Would it be the magic that fueled the ritual or all of his magic? Would he forever lose his ability to cast spells or maybe only temporarily? It's not like he could just call the demon back, he didn't think the King would appreciate it, and he was berating himself for not thinking of these things before Paimon had left. Harry blamed it on blood loss, dehydration, and starvation…

But he had finally found the summoning array and spent the next week carving the very intricate array onto a very small coin (his parents couldn't find one any larger and they were suspicious of why he needed one but refrained from asking to give him some space, which he was thankful for). Not only was it difficult doing it on something so small, the only tools he had were some sharp obsidian stones he had in his potions lab.

Doll had come in many times during his carving and had voiced her curiosity of what he was doing. Harry answered he was making a healing charm for someone which was somewhat true.

"Is it for you," she had asked.

So the wizard responded in the negative.

"You need it more than someone else," Doll had proclaimed heatedly.

"Ah. But not if that someone were dying."

"Who's dying!?"

"Hmm. No need to worry little sister you do not know this person. I doubt you ever will."

For some reason he had the feeling those words were going to come back to bite him but he wasn't going to take it back. So he spent the last week and a half chatting with Caelus (assuring him that yes he was still fine and the kitten was doing well) on his laptop and finishing any homework Gui had given him.

So it had been a month of being stuck in his temporary rooms. But now he was finally cleared enough to leave.

"Are you ready to see your rooms Wang Fei?"

His mother and father were standing at the doors to the hospital where he had his final checkup (walking to the Hospital without help was part of it)and he sent them a smile and a nod. Doll picked up his computer bag, seeing as she didn't want him carrying anything yet, and followed him at her parents out.

Immediately after stepping out of the doors he stretched and gave a cat got the canary grin. He'd been staying in temporary rooms until they had his set up and they were almost ready by the time Bellatrix kidnapped him. Now he had rooms to himself! No one (except Doll and maybe his parents) could just barge in saying time for a checkup or anything like that. There was no doubt in the Master of Death's mind that his rooms were going to be much larger than his apartment but it would be more space for him, Caelus, and Xiao Jin.

The kitten would be ecstatic about the new rooms, just as he had been about exploring Doll's rooms and his own temporary ones, and would most likely be missing for the next few days as he claimed his new territory.

In Game

"Oh, my love, I am so happy that you are finally able to move around again~!"

"Yes, yes! Now get off! You're still heavy you know!"

"So mean, my love!"

Harry allowed the nymph to nuzzle his head as they stood upon his balcony.

"Doll's curious you know?"

"Your little sister? What about?"

Harry sighed and leaned back into his husband. "She keeps asking about my husband. I really don't know what to say. How am I supposed to tell her that my husband is an NPC with a soul!"

"Calm, my love. She is your younger sister. Most of her world revolves around you. You said she even tried to commit suicide because she thought you were gone. Have faith in her belief in you."

Harry flinched at the mention of that incident. Then the wizard sighed again. "It's not that I don't believe in her it's that I don't know what her reaction will be. And, honestly, that scares me."

"Would you like me to be there with you?"

"What? How?"

"The Dictator of Life was able to appear on your laptop screen was he not? Maybe he will show me how if I ask him to. Then I could be there with you~," Caelus said happily.

Harry turned in his lover's arms and gave a sweet and passionate kiss. "That's a great idea," the wizard said a bit breathlessly. "You know it's been a while since I've visited Odd Squad. The only ones I've seen are Doll, Gui, and Wolf. I think I'll go pay a visit to Infinite city. Will you be okay with that?"

"Hmm. I have had the last two months with my husband. I think time away will be okay. But you must give me something in return for letting you go," the boss responded slyly.

Oh? "And just what would that be my beautiful nymph?"

"Hmmm, I believe a bath and maybe some kisses shall suffice."

Harry inwardly cheered. They didn't bathe together very often as it wasn't needed but after a long day of grinding (Caelus had showed him a hidden area in his kingdom only accessible by a hidden quest that hid level 90-100 nymphs) it was such a wonderful feeling.

"I think I can do that," Harry whispered seductively against Caelus' lips. The nymph grinned and swept them both back inside the castle.

Harry flapped his wings to keep high in the air before gliding for a while. Caught in his thoughts about how to tell Doll about Caelus he didn't notice the flying red carpet that had five people on it going the same direction he was. Dolor on the other hand did.

"Papa look…" the pet said pointing down. When that failed to get the man's attention, the mini-dementor huffed and slowly glided up to the base of his Papa's braid, then he yanked. Harry gave a strangled cry and had to catch himself from falling out of the air. With a couple flaps he had righted himself and yanked Dolor in front of his face.

"What is your problem!"

"Look Papa," his pet said pointing down.

Harry looked expecting to see a monster or something. He was not expecting to see five players staring at him from on a flying red carpet. He was definitely not expecting one of those five people to be Prince.

"Uwaa! No way! Just who I was looking for!" Trying not to think on how lucky that was in case the other half of his luck kicked in, he dived straight for the carpet.

His luck, though, decided that he was thinking about it and wanted to turn bad. He caught a fire spell straight to the face and he let out an undignified shriek. Then he barley dodged a katana to the face. Wait… The red haired man looked suspiciously like the demon boss he hadn't been able to approach on one of the continents. He recognized the face from the website and posted boss pictures.

And if he had mistaken him as a player then the NPC was definitely self-aware. But what was he doing on the central continent and with Prince? Dodging another sword swipe, the wizard decided he could ask Prince at a later time.

"Dammit! Stop attacking me! I'm not going to hurt you!"

The man didn't listen but Prince sure did.

"Savior," he gasped incredulously.

"Yes! For goodness sake stop attacking me," he growled landing a nasty blow to the ginger's face. He fell back barely being caught by the red carpet.

Harry hovered for a moment before gliding forward slowly so as to not cause any agitation. Then he pulled off his mask, sliding it in his pouch. Dolor shifted from behind his braid where had hidden and settled on Harry's shoulder instead.

"What are you doing so far away from Infinite city Prince?"

"Ah, well that's a long story. I-"

"OMG! It's the Angel of Death," two of the other passengers squealed.

Harry noticed it was Jing and Yun from class. Well, considering they were both hardcore fans for anything they liked that might pose a bit of a problem for him. So he decided to inform them of his identity before they got too obsessed.

"Hello Jing, Yun. I haven't seen you guys in at least two months."

Jing gaped but Yun got excited that the Angel knew their names. "Uwa! You know our names! How!?"

Harry twitched at the loudness of the voice before asking, "You don't recognize me? I mean I know I haven't been to class in a while but serious-"

"Wang Fei," Jing squealed throwing herself off the carpet to latch onto him.

The slight pause in his wings steady flapping was the only surprise he allowed himself to show.

"Oh man! We actually know the Angel of Death! I can't believe it! I mean you look alike but I never made the connection! Oh! When you first met our professor! That's how you knew him~! This is so cool!"

Harry chuckled and was able to pry the girl off and set her back on the carpet. Then he turned to the other two. The ginger boss who was staring at him impassively and the Arabian looking man who seemed to be in control of the carpet.

"Hello. My name is Savior. I'm assuming you're Prince's friends? Any friend of his is a friend of mine," Harry introduced himself smiling pleasantly.

"Hello I am Sunshine," the Arabian said smiling.

The ginger just continued to stare. Prince snorted. "This guy here is Kenshin. He doesn't talk a lot."

"Ah. No problem. So are you guys headed to Infinite city?"

They all gave the affirmative. "Would you mind if I tagged along? I haven't seen Odd Squad in quite a while and I did promise Gui I would visit every now and then."

"Of course," Prince cheered. "I think the rest of Odd Squad wants to see you as well!"

The Blood elf seemed cheery but his eyes told Harry that Prince wanted a chat alone as soon as they were able. Harry imagined it had to do with his almost two month absence from school with no contact with any of his friends. Speaking of…

"Prince, do you know if Wicked is in Infinite city?"

"Yeah. I'm pretty sure he is why?"

"Nothing to worry about, I just need to talk to him."

The rest of the trip was spent chatting with Jing and Yun about his absence (he was in a hospital) and why he didn't contact anyone (that was harder to explain away but he said he had gotten temporary amnesia from head trauma and that his memories were still a bit spotty, which was actually a bit true because he couldn't remember things, mostly minor. Doctors said it was head trauma from Bellatrix… the bitch). Dolor sometimes chimed in, causing Jing and Yun to coo over him.

Finally, Infinite City appeared in the distance, only there was something wrong. It seemed the city was being raided. Well that wasn't good…

They had already burst through the front gates and it looked as if Infinite City was going to lose. They were at a standstill right now as the two groups were talking but Harry didn't think that was going to last very long. Prince didn't even seem to know what was going on but he seemed excited about seeing the city and stood suddenly causing Sunshine to jerk.

The carpet launched Prince forward into the masses with only a, "Lookout below!" as a warning.

Harry gave a soft chuckle and told the others that they should wait for Prince's signal. Then he lazily glided down hovering just above everyone's range of vision (unless they looked directly up) just in time to hear Prince ask, "Invasion? All the more reason to beat you up!"

Then he punched the invasion leader, knocking him to the floor.

"You coward! Fight me one on one if you got the guts!"

Harry almost scoffed. Wasn't this one of the ground leaders from the tournament? Pathetic.

"One on one? Sure, but not until I take care of these friends of yours," Prince said with a dark smile.

Then the white haired elf glanced briefly at Lolidragon before scanning the crowd and finding another ground leader from the tournament (if he remembered correctly anyway, it was such a long time ago). The he punched that man in the face as well. Harry blinked in surprise.

"Prince…"

"Let's vent our anger by beating up this rabble! Put aside what your sis did!"

EH? His sister? What had she done and who was she?

"Yeah."

The Prince looked up catching Harry's eyes as his mask was still removed then turning in the direction of where the carpet still was and shouting, "You guys done with your tea party yet? Why don't you get down here already? The fight's about to begin!"

"Prince," Sunshine started in exasperation, "Can you not stand up so suddenly while we're flying?"

"Dage are you alright?"

Harry allowed himself to drop to the ground next to Prince as the carpet lowered the other four to the ground.

"Hello everyone," Yun said cheerfully with a wave.

"Alright! We're all here!" Prince gave his sword, what could be equated to, a seductive lick. "Then let the game start!"

"Don't worry about me just turn them into pincushions with your arrows," the invasion leader screamed.

Wolf looked annoyed and kicked him down muttering, "You're still fit to give orders?"

"Arrows," Prince asked with a smirk. "You think arrows are enough?"

Harry snorted and turned to wave hello to Wolf. The beast looked pleasantly surprised but waved to him in response.

"Don't be fooled, why wouldn't he just PM the orders," one woman spoke from the crowd. "I suggest we organize a line of defense, what do you think City Lord?"

It was a smart strategy if your force didn't have the strength to outright attack the opposing army. It was a good thing they did. Even if most people hadn't recognized him as the Angel of Death yet since most of his features were hidden by his hood and long bangs.

There was a moment of silence between the two that Harry guessed they were PMing each other before Prince said, "There's no time to explain, so just do as I say."

Hm… Good leader material. Now if only this were a war in real life what would you do Xiao Lan?

"But…"

"Just do as your told, Swan," the 'good' ground leader said. Now he knew the woman's name. Actually… she looked almost like Yu Lian with shorter hair. Huh…

"Prince, a leader only has to give orders and coordinate the troops, so you move to the back."

Ah, Wicked! Harry was glad that he was in the city so now he could let his friend know he was okay in real life. And while the thing about the leaders staying in the back wasn't always necessarily true (he didn't in the magical war and he was sure that Zhuo Bin just wanted Lan Lan to stay out of the fight) it was the best thing to do in this scenario.

"Kenshin," the Blood elf said sulkily, "make sure you protect them for me…"

There were war cries as everyone buffered themselves and prepared for the second wave.

"Prince, are we really taking down the protective barrier," Swan asked hesitantly.

"Yeah, just go all out on the attack spells!"

The barrier fell and Harry wasted no time before he leapt into the air and spread his wings wide. Activating his Saber Wings, the feathers glowed an ominous black before he slashed his wings and the energy was released right into the crowd of healers and mages in the back. Then he dropped to the ground and started slashing Raze viciously not giving any mercy. He saw Kenshin doing the same a few feet away. When the demon boss saw him, Harry gave a challenging smirk and ruthlessly slaughtered everyone in his near vicinity. The demon's eyebrow slightly twitched before he did the same.

It was a fun few minutes seeing who could take down the most, currently he was winning by a few but not much. Then there was a feeling of static that built up into the air around them. Missiles launched into the crowd and players went flying every which way.

Finally one man shouted, "That's enough! We surrender. It's over."

"Kui! Don't surrender," Invasion leader protested loudly. "I forbid you to surrender to him!"

Harry saw Wolf stomp the man into the ground again and slowly started making his way back over to where most of Odd Squad was gathered. Harry was only just close enough to hear Prince announce, "If you don't join Infinite City, I'll annihilate all your comrades and declare all members of Divine Coalition to be KOS! (Kill On Sight in gaming terms)"

Immediately everyone on the opposing force started protesting but Harry couldn't help but be impressed. Especially when Prince continued.

"What are you angry for!? I'm just helping you find an excuse to quite Divine Coalition!" By now the wizard was only a few feet behind Prince. "Divine Coalition, those of you who join Infinite City will be treated as comrades! Those who won't will be banned from Infinite City! And forever hunted as criminals within its walls! Zui count how many want to join us, then try to fit them into our ranks," Prince addressed the last part to the 'good' tournament guy.

"Okay."

Prince turned on the invasion leader and mocked, "As for you… you can't beat me in a duel nor an invasion. What should I do with you now? How should I deal with you?"

"Prince could you let Van off," The man, Kui, asked.

"Please Prince let Van go. I beg you!"

The girl who had begged was crying. Great crocodile tears ran down her face but it was not scrunched in pain or sadness. It was only filled with pleading and Harry couldn't stand to look at that face for very long.

"If I let Van off, would you forgive yourself," Prince asked after a moment of studying her.

She bowed and Prince sighed turning to Wolf. "Wolf-dage, heal him up and then let him go."

"Prince," Van started, fully healed, "You're indeed a worthy adversary. I, Van, swear to you that I will return. And the next time we meet, I will defeat you fair and square."

Van turned and started walking away, ignoring all the people around him.

"I'll be waiting in Infinite City," the elf replied with a smile.

Then he tightened his grip on his sword and held the black sabre to the sky shouting, "Infinite City will never fall! Infinite City is Invincible!"

And Harry couldn't help but join in on the raucous cheering.

AN: Okay for those of you who read my story Precious Wings. I know I said it would be my priority but I'm a bit stuck. So I'm going to try working more on it today but for now I thought I'd post this chapter to appease some of my other followers. Oh and in earlier chapter I know I wrote that Caelus is level 90. He's not. He's 100. That is the highest boss level you can get (in my story) because Kenshin is 100 but Caelus' stats are way higher.

Anyway I've decided that once I finish this story I'm going to go back and fix all the little minor things that catch my eye, such as Harry's aversion to blood then his love of it… yeah.

Review please~!
