Chapter 8

A few days has passed since then. When Rias and Asia came home that day, they were shocked to see the two holy sword weilders. Inuko stopped Rias from trying to kill them, stating that they were guests. Irina and Xenovia reinforced that they were Nina's guests, and Nina had agreed with them. They promised not to cause any ruckuses and such, and Rias grudgingly accepted. Inuko, not wanting to see her master and her friend sad, promised Rias and Asia that as long as Irina and Xenovia were in the house, they could sleep and take a bath together, which led them to wish those Church girls stayed longer. She had already informed them of her duties with the girls as part of Kusanagi. Rias couldn't do nothing but consent since she wasn't in devil business mode, but Kusanagi business mode, but was worried nonetheless. Every day the four of them; Inuko, Yuuto, Koneko and Saji searched for the Excalibur. Of course any leads came to nothing. The opponent would escape the last minute. Seika was also dispatched to search for anything. Needless to say, a lot of Kusanagi resources, known and unknown, were being used in this. Mizuki even called to tell them that while she was not there yet (meaning she was coming back), Inuko had full liberations to anything that could help in securing Nina a suitable sword spirit.

"You have a serious face lately, Ise." Motohama said while fixing the position of his glasses.

"I do? I guess it's because I'm wondering what will be dinner tonight."

"Is it that? Food? Or were you thinking about groping Rias-senpai's boobs or Himejima-senpai's boobs?"

"I always have a hard time choosing that every day, Motohama. By the way, in terms of size, Buchou wins. Buchou also wins in terms of fullness. But in terms of softness Akeno-san wins… No, Buchou has more meat but Akeno-san's ones has good balance with the oppai and the areola. So it reminds me of something like Yamato Nadeshiko! In terms of having fun, groping Buchou wins. But Akeno-san's boobs are also big."

"If you keep on doing that, you are going to get killed by senpai's worshipers one day, you know? There are many of them at this school."

"Motohama… They would get killed by Seika-nee if they tried."

"…You're right."

PINCH.

There was someone pinching on Inuko's cheek. It's Asia. She seemed like she was in a really bad mood.

"Ahia-khan vhat ar yu duong?"

"…" Asia was pinching her cheek without saying a word. But it did seem like Asia, because she wasn't pinching me hard.

"Damn it! Inuko, you Ero-daiou! You have violated the Occult Research Club! And not only that, but you also receive that kind of treatment from Asia-chan! Nooooooo!" Matsuda was spitting out his anger while holding his head down.

"…We know, Inuko. Apparently you link your arms with Rias-senpai and Asia-chan after your club activity, don't you? Are you trying to go home while having two flowers in your arms? You should get blown away to a different dimension and get melted by slimy monsters."

"I can't do nothing about it. They seemed adamant to link arms with me."

"Die!"

"By the way, Inuko. What are you going to do about the plan for karaoke and bowling?" Motohama asked after he reverted to his usual self. They were planning to play for half a day during the next weekend with the three of us, Asia, and Kiryuu. They had also invited Koneko and Kiba. Asia and Kiryuu were coming. Surprisingly, Koneko was eager to come as well.

"Asia-chan and Kiryuu are going. So is Koneko-chan."

"Uooooooooo! Asia-chan and Toujou Koneko-chan! I can put my tension up with this!" Matsuda shouted. Inuko just smiles at his simplicity, knowing full well she was way up in ranks.

SMACK!

There was someone who smacked Matsuda on the head. It was the girl with glasses, Kiryuu.

"I'm sorry for going as well." She made an unpleasant face.

"I'm happy you're going, Kiryuu." Inuko quips.

"Oh thank you, great Kusanagi-sama. This Kiryuu is very grateful for such words." Kiryuu praises.

"Fu. You are just an extra of Asia-chan. We already have a person wearing glasses, and that's Motohama. Well it's alright."

"What's with that attitude, Matsuda? Don't put me in the same group as that perverted glasses. He will just taint our group."

"This woman! Motohama's glasses are special because it can calculate the BWH of girls! He's different from you!" But Kiryuu just smirked after hearing Matsuda.

"Did you actually think that he is the only one with that ability?"

"!" The two felt uneasy! Kiryuu then looked down at their crotch!

"Hmm I see, I see." Motohama and Matsuda hid their crotches with their hands. After looking at their reactions, Kiryuu's glasses shone.

"Fufufu. My glasses can calculate the size of guys' "thingy". From length to circumference."

"I almost this girl had that frightening ability." Inuko states.

"It's a shame you don't have one, Kusanagi."

"I like being a girl, Kiryuu. Besides….." Inuko grins as she stetches her fingers. "There are more than one way to pleasure a woman."

"Good for you then, Asia."

"?" Asia became confused with Kiryuu's words. You don't have to tell her those kinds of things!

"Geez, it can't be helped. I'm saying that Kusanagi…" Inuko shuts her mouth.

"Let's not teach her anything useless for now, Kiryuu~."

"Anyway. Then everyone except Kiba-kun is going, right?" Kiryuu changed her attitude quickly after she realised that she couldn't continue this conversation. Inuko disagress.

"No, I will try to make Kiba come as well somehow. He did say he would come as well before."


After school on the same day. They gathered in the park and changed to the priests' and sisters' clothes after finishing our normal club activity. The robes were something Xenovia loaned them. Inuko actually sewed some symbols inside them to hide their presence and increase their powers at the same time. The crosses they were wearing were fakes, except Inuko's. She was wearing rosaries on her arms and the katana cruxifix, which was also called Kusanagi, on her neck. They walked around town in these clothes. They walked mainly in places where there weren't any people.

"Fuu. No progress today as well." Saji said as if he lost interest. Saji was the one who was most eager to do this. This guy is truly a nice guy.

"Not exactly." Inuko looks at a distance.

"…Inuko-sempai…Yuuto-senpai." Koneko-chan also seemed like she felt something.

HEART BEAT.

"Look up!" Saji shouted. When they looked up, there was a white haired boy priest falling down with a long sword!

"Something like a divine protection for the group of priests ay!"

KACHIN!

Kiba took his demonic-sword out quickly and blocked Freed's slash. Inuko smiled.

"Freddy!"

"Shit…! Is that voice you, you bitch of a Kusanagi!? Heeee. Well isn't this a weird reunion!? How is it? Has your dragon power increased? Is it alright to kill you now?" But Inuko ignored his tirade, and stared happily at the sword. Before anyone knew it, she passed him.

SLASH

And the arm that held the holy sword fell.

"SHIIIIITTTTTTT?!"

"You had Rapidly. Good." Inuko stares admiringly at the sword she was holding, then look boringly a bit to the fallen arm. "So it was fake, Oh well."

"Why?!" Freed shouted. "WHY?! I had an Excalibur. I couldn't lose. What's more, It was Excalibur Rapidly! I shouldn't have lost in speed?!" Inuko ignored him.

"I got the sword now. I'm going home." Inuko walks off. Freed was getting crazy.

"You BITCH?!" He charges at her.

"Stretch my line!"

SWISH!

Something that looked like a skinny black hand left Saji's hand and headed for Freed. On his hand, there was a cute looking deformed lizard face equipped. The line was coming from its mouth. Then that skinny hand was the tongue of the lizard!

"Such a pain! Get out of my way?!"

Freed tried to knock it away with his hidden blessed dagger, but the lizard's tongue changed its direction and went downwards. It stuck onto Freed's right foot, and it started to swirl around his leg. Freed tried to cut the tongue off with his dagger, but it went past as if the tongue didn't have any physical form.

"You can't cut it that easily. Kiba! With this he can't escape! Beat him down!"

"Thank you!" Kiba rushed in. He was going towards Freed with two demonic swords.

"Chi! So it's not only the "Holy Eraser", I see! Having multiple demonic-swords. Are you the possessor of "Sword Birth", perhaps? Wow. You are guilty of having a rare Sacred Gear, you know!" Freed seemed to have forgotten about the Excalibur Inuko took and focused on Yuuto.

"Hmmm. "Sword Birth" huh? It's a Sacred Gear that can have an infinite number of powers depending on the possessor." Then there was the voice of another person. When the group looked that way, there was an old man wearing priest clothes standing there. Inuko recognizes him.

"…Is it you old-man Balba?" The others were shocked at Freed's words.

"…Balba Galilei!" Kiba glared at the old man with eyes full of hatred.

"I certainly am." The old man admitted it normally.

"Hello, Balba Galilei." Inuko greets with distain.

"Hoho, the first success."

"I'm surprised. You remembered me."

"You were my crowning achievement. I can't forget that." Then Balba looks to Freed. "Freed. What are you doing?"

"Old-man! I can't run away because of this guy's weird lizard tongue!"

"Hmph. You lost the holy-sword perfectly as well to the first success." Before he spoke more, Inuko rushed to him to deliver a killing kick.

CLANG

Her boots were deflected by another holy sword. The user was looking excited at seeing Inuko.

"My true love!" Everyone who heard that was shocked in their system. Inuko backed away a great distance. "Ah after so many years, we meet like this. Truly, we are meant to be together." Inuko looks at her with no emotion.

"…." She speaks "Who are you?"

"Ufufufu. Playing that dumb game again with your Mira-neechan. No matter" She gets her sword ready. "Today is the day I will make you mine."

"Freed, use the "element" I gave you more wisely. I'm researching because of that. Gather the holy element that is running throughout your body to the dagger blade. With that, you should be able to cut it."

"Yeah, yeah!" Freed's dagger had started to gather auras and started to glow!

"Like this! Horyah!"

CUT.

Saji's Sacred Gear was cut with ease, and the only thing that was holding Freed was gones

"I will be escaping now! The next time we meet will be the time of our ultimate battle!" Freed said that but…

"I won't let you escape!" There was someone who went past Inuko with a very fast speed.

KACHIN!

There was a blade clashing with Freed's holy-sword that was igniting sparks! It was Xenovia!

"Inu-kun, emergency!"

"Irina! What happened?!" Irina was also here as well. Ooooh! The partner's of our cooperation were here!

"I'm sorry, Inu-chan." Irina looks was grim. "We were walking with her, but….They took Nina."

"?!" Inuko looked in great shock. "Nina…..?"

"Freed Zelzan. Balba Galilei. Rebels. I will cut you both down in the name of God!"

"Ha! Don't say the name of the hateful God that I hate! You bitch!" Freed and Xenovia exchanged swords, but he took something out. It was a ball of light. It was an item used for escaping. "Old-man Balba! Bitchy Mira! We are escaping! We are going to report to the boss, Kokabiel!"

"No way. I'm not leaving without my true love!" Balba held her back.

"There's no other way, Mira."

"See ya! The alliance of Church and devils!" Freed threw down the ball of light on the ground.

FLASH

The light covered the whole area and blinded their eyes! By the time we regained their sight, Freed, Mira and Balba were gone.

"We are going after them Irina."

"Okay!" Xenovia and Irina nodded at each other and sprinted from here.

"I'm going after them too! I won't let you escape Balba Galilei!" Kiba joined them and ran off.

"…" Inuko was shell shocked, but she still had her duties. "I must go…" Then she felt the presence of someone behind her.

"When I thought that the flow of power was irregular…"

"This is certainly troublesome." She turned around after hearing a familiar voice and…

"Inuko. What's the meaning of this? Explain." Rias and Sona were standing there with serious faces. Saji turned blue. But Inuko was still holding a face that was lost.


"…You two…" Rias didn't have a pleasant face and she put her hand on her forehead. After the incident with Freed, Rias and Sona took the three of them, Inuko, Saji, and Koneko, to the nearby park. Then they were forced to do seiza in front of the fountain. Inuko sat a good distance because her body refused to let go of the holy sword in her hands

"Saji. I know you were doing something with Inuko. But to think you were doing something like this behind me? You truly are a troublesome child."

"Auuu…I…I'm sorry Kaichou…" Sona was also talking to Saji with a cold expression. Saji's face became so blue that it was dangerous. He must have been truly scared.

"So Yuuto went after that person called Balba?"

"Yes….." Inuko answered, still lifeless.

"Inuko…..what wrong?" Sona had never seen Inuko like this.

"…They took Nina."

"?!" The two great devil were shocked at this news. Inuko looks about to cry when she bows to them, forehead to the floor.

"Please punish us later. I'm begging you now." She looks up and they can see she was freely crying. "We have to save Nina now!? Please?!"

"Inuko, wha-?"

"I've been having her dreams." She cries out. "She's going to get killed!?"

"?!"


When the other members of Sona's peerage and Akeno arrive, Inuko had finally calmed down to explain what she meant.

"When a Kusanagi dreams another Kusanagi's dream, it is a sign of that Kusanagi's imminent death." She starts her story. "I've been having her dreams a few days before the Ball tournament. I would be her surrounded by sword. Swords….. I didn't understand at first until Irina and Xenovia came. Since Nina hadn't had those dreams, I knew I would be the key player in all this."

"…" Rias was silent then asks. "How many days does she have left?"

"The range is five to six days after the dream ends."

"And when has the dream ended?" Sona asks.

"…" She didn't want to remember. "Four days ago."

"?!" That only gave them about a day or two days to find Nina and hopefully the others as well.

"Why did you tell us this?"

"Because I can't have Nina finding out from your expressions." Inuko answers. "Nina is very good at observation. I couldn't let her know. Normally, you can't stop fate, you can only see it and accept it. My fate was to die that day we met, Buchou." Inuko looks at Rias when she said that. "And I accepted that. But I wanted to break that fate of hers, even if it meant punishment by you or Sona or the gods, I didn't care. She must not die this young…." She stands up only to be pushed down by Rias.

"I sent my familiar to search for Yuuto. Hopefully when we find him, we find Nina as well. Let's go to them with the rest of the club members when they are found. We will decide what to do from there. Okay?"

"Don't worry, Inuko-kun. We'll find them." Akeno reassure as she spread her wings and goes to join the search as well.

"….Understood." Inuko nods, knowing she couldn't do nothing. Time was her enemy, but she can't do nothing at the moment. Then the tension died down.

"Koneko."

"…Yes."

"Why did you do this?"

"…I don't want Yuuto-senpai to go away…" Koneko told her true feelings. Rias looked confused rather than angry when she heard that.

"…Saying this when it has already happened won't change anything I guess. But what you two did could have affected the world of devils. You understand that, right?"

"Yes." Koneko nodded her head, while Inuko looked at a distance.

"…I didn't care. But…" She looks and Rias and bows. "I am sorry Buchou."

"…I'm sorry Buchou." Koneko bowed her head as well.

SLAP! SLAP!

Saji was getting his butt spanked!

"We will deal with it when it comes. But for now, looks like you need to reflect on your behaviour."

"Uwaaaaaaan! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please forgive me Kaichouuu!"

"No. 1000 spankings."

SLAP! SLAP!

Sona was covering her hand with demonic-power. He was getting spanked with that hand! It seemed quite painfull. The other peerage members were just covering their mouths in laughter. But Inuko couldn't laugh. She was worrying too much.

HUG.

Rias pulled them to her and hugged them.

"…You two really are stupid children. Making me worry so much…" She said it with a gentle voice while she patted me and Koneko's head.

"Uwaaaaaaan! Kaichouuu! They finished with a good atmosphere!"

"They are them. We are us."

SLAP! SLAP!

It looked like Saji's spanking wasn't going to end anytime soon. Looks like making Kaichou pregnant and marrying her is really far away.

"Inuko." Buchou calls her out of her reverie. "Don't worry. This is you we're talking about. You will break that fate, and we wil find Yuuto." Inuko could only nod.

"That's right. Because I am me."


By the time Rias and Inuko arrived home, the sun was setting, it was almost night time. They parted ways with Koneko along our way home. She was apologizing to Rias until she left. But she seemed like she didn't regret it. Inuko was till listless, like there was no life in her.

""We are back."" When they took their shoes off and were about to walk the hallway, they saw Seika in seiza position. She was about to perform seipuku, when Inuko swiffly grabs her hands and hugs. Seika hugs back, finally showing her tears. It seems she was holding back as well. When she calmed down, she took the Excalibur Rapidly from Inuko and reported about the familiars. The one who took Nina was a high caliber fallen angel. Shirahime and Kurohime didn't stand a chance and were now resting in Inuko's room with Hitohime looking after them. As Seika talks, she led them to to the dining room, into the kitchen. Inuko was mildly surprised at the sight.

"Asia-chan!" Asia was wearing an apron. But there was something off. Inuko's eyes widen in realization to the sight of the bare skin.

"…A friend of mine in our class told me… That you have to wear nothing under the apron when you work in a kitchen in Japan… It's e…embarrassing…but I have to get used to Japanese culture…" Asia said it with a red face.

DRIP

There was blood coming out of Inuko's nose. Seika rushed to get tissues.

"Asia-chan… Who told you this?"

"Yes, my friend Kiryuu-san. Of course I'm not wearing my underwear… It feels cold… Aauu…"

'Kiryuu….' The inner anger was prevailing.

"…I see. So there was a strategy like that." Rias said with a regretful voice. "Asia you can become a real devil. You really are a lecherous girl."

"Eh!? I don't want to become a lecherous devil!" Rias smirked and Asia replied with a troubled face and teary eyes.

"Wait a bit. I will also do the same. Asia. You have done well by making the first move." Rias turned around and left the scene quickly.

"Going by the flow, shall I do it as well?" Seika asks while handing the tissues.

"No, stop her." Seika goes to do as told.

"Ummm, what's going on? I don't understand the situation…" Inuko put my hand on Asia's shoulder while blood dripped from my nose.

"Asia. Yeah, it looks good on you. I will just say that for now. Thank you. Thank you very much." she thanked her a couple of times. Asia looked shy as well.

"I heard what happened from Akeno-san and Seika-san. I thought this would cheer you up." Inuko was surprised that there was a purpose thatn erotism in this. "Inu-san, you can do it. I believe we will save them." Asia said it with a small trembling voice while hugging her.

"Thank you, Asia-chan." Inuko hugged back, not caring if she was touching the exposed back.

"Forgive me, Inuko-sama. I couldn't stop her." Seika came and apologized.

"Inuko! I have also worn it!" When she turned around to Rias's voice….

NOSE-BLEED!

More blood came out of her nose! Rias appeared in an even more erotic apron than Asia's! The apron JUST covered the important parts. It's something that you can JUST understand that it's an apron!

"Now Asia. We will start cooking with must make sure to get the Kusanagi flavor correctly."

"Y…yes." Both of them stood in the kitchen… But it was basically nude from behind… More blood came out. By now, Seika had put in a blood drip on her arm.

'Are they trying to comfort me? Or kill me by blood loss?!"


That night, Rias, Asia and Inuko also slept together. Seika joined in, but on a separate futon. But both Rias and Inuko woke up because of an enormous pressure. They jumped off the bed, Rias stood by the window, and Inuko getting the Excalibur at the corner. Asia also got up after feeling something. Seika was already ready with her scythe. When they looked down from the window, there was someone looking up…

"…Freddy!" The one who had a sickening and evoking smirk was the white haired priest, Freed. He waved his hands at us.

"…A fallen angel." Rias said it with a voice filled with hatred and clicked her fingers. She instantly got into her uniform and opened the room's door.

"Yaho! Kusanagi bitch. Asia-tan. Looks like you guys are in a bad mood. Were you doing alright? Ara ara, were you guys having sex? Then I'm sorry. Not reading the atmosphere is my charming point." Inuko didn't care if she was in her pajamas. She jumped out of the window and tried to kick him. He dodged and Inuko made a huge crater.

"Freddy, where's Nina?" He just shook his shoulder with a laugh, ignoring the question. Then Inuko sensed that pressure and looked up. Rias also seemed like she noticed something and looked up as well. There was someone floating in the sky with the moon behind him. It was a…fallen-angel who had his black wings growing out from his back. One, two, three… He had 10 black wings. It was a young man who was wearing a black robe with detailed accessories. He smirked after seeing Rias and Inuko.

"This is our first time meeting, daughter of the house of Gremory. The crimson hair is beautiful. It reminds me of your brother that I hate enough to make me want to vomit." Then he turns his attention to Inuko. "I see that you are a devil now, former Great King Lucifer. Raynare and the others seemed to have failed at such a simple mission…"

"So it was you….." Inuko eyes turned red, her fangs elongated and her breathe was fire.

"Nice to meet you, one of the leaders of the fallen-angels, Kokabiel. And my name is Rias Gremory. I will also add one more thing. We and the house of Gremory are a being who are closest to the Maou, and also the furthest from it. If you are here to discuss about politics with me, then it's no use."

"This is a gift." He then threw the person he was carrying at Inuko who caught it.

CATCH.

It was Irina! She was covered in blood! She was breathing heavily! Her whole body was covered in wounds!

"Irina!" Even though Inuko called her, she reacted painfully and didn't respond.

"She came into my base. So I gave her a welcome. Well, I couldn't catch the other two." Kokabiel said it with a laugh. From his story, Kiba and Xenovia escaped.

"Asia!" Inuko put Irina on the ground, and made Asia heal her. There was a green light coming out of Asia's body, which covered Irina. Irina's expression started to soften and she started to breathe gently. She didn't have her Excalibur. Kokabiel continued to talk.

"I wouldn't do something stupid as talking with a Maou. Well, if I rape and kill his little sister, then Sirzechs' anger will be pointed towards me. That won't be bad." Rias glared at Kokabiel with disdainful eyes.

"…So what is your motive for contacting me?" Kokabiel answered Rias's question with joy,

"I will be rampaging in this town using your base, Kuou Academy, as the starting point. Then Sirzechs will also appear, right?"

"If you do something like that, the War between God, fallen-angels and devils will begin again you know?"

"That's what I'm wishing for. I thought that Michael would start a War if I steal the Excalibur... But what he sent were grunt Exorcists and two holy-sword wielders. It's boring. I'm really bored indeed! That's why I'm going to rampage at Sirzech's sister's base. See? It looks fun, right?" Rias made a sound with her tongue. It was proof that she was really pissed.

"…You battle-freak." Rias said it with hatred. But Kokabiel laughed with joy.

"Yeah. That's it! I was bored and bored after the war between the three sides! Azazel and Shamza weren't that keen on the next war. They then started to collect something boring like Sacred Gear and started to do some weird research. Something useless like that won't be of any use to us! …Well, it's a different story if it's a "Boosted Gear" like the one the brat over there has… But it's not something you can find so easily. Either way, I'm going to be starting a battle involving the holy-swords, Rias Gremory. For starting a war! A school where both little sisters of Sirzech's and Leviathan's go to. It must be filled with demonic-powers so that I can enjoy the chaos! It's also the best place to release the real power of Excaliburs! It's a good place for the battlefield."

"Hyahahaha! Isn't my boss the best? His craziness is the best. So I'm also eager to do it. He even gives me treats like this." What Freed took out was an Excalibur. He had one of them in each hand. It seems he got a new arm again.

"The one on the right is "Excalibur Nightmare". The one on the left is "Excalibur Mimic" I took from the girl over there! The bitchy Mira still has that "Excalibur Transparency," but I get it off her soon. I also feel like getting "Excalibur Destruction" that the other girl has. But I should be getting that "Excalibur Rapidly" back from you bitch! Hyaa! Then I will become the first person in the World to be in possession of so many Excaliburs! I also received an element from the geezer Balba that allows me to wield holy-swords. Right now I'm in a hyper mode that allows me to wield all of them, you know? I'm invincible! I'm wonderful! I'm the strongest! Hyahahahahahahahaha!" Freed laughed as if he found it really funny. Then stops and stares at Inuko. "And this time, you can't stop me, Kusanagi bitch." Inuko was growling now.

"Where's Nina?!" She shouts. Kobakiel scoffs.

"She will be participating in Balba's holy-sword research. After that Mira will kill her." Inuko was losing it now. "The research. It's the real deal if it shows this much result. To tell the truth it seemed suspicious when he joined my plan." So Kokabiel and Balba are together.

"What are you planning to do with the Excaliburs!?" Rias asked him. Kokabiel moved his ten black wings and moved his body in the direction of the school.

"Hahaha! Let's have a War! Little sister of Sirzech Lucifer, Rias Gremory!"

FLASH!

Freed took out an item to blind us! Our sight was taken away for a while, but by the time it returned Kokabiel and Freed were gone!

"Inuko! We are going to the school!"

"Yes!" A big battle against the leader of the fallen-angels was about to start!
