Well, with those lovely reviews out of the way, its time to start the chapter!


Makoto's pain!

"Go Vali-kun!"

I cheered from the sidelines. I honestly didn't imagine that watching my hero-kun would be so much fun! Vali-kun, who had entered Balance Breaker was duelling one of the powerful warriors here.

Demonic power, Senjutsu and just pure power was getting flung around the area. Of course there are barriers around the area so nothing outside gets damaged. But Vali-kun is really powerful huh.

And his Scale Mail thingy looks cool as well. Covered in white, just how I remember it. Whenever I see that now, I remember when Vali-kun saved me when I was younger. Just thinking about it is painful, but a good painful at the same time.

Yes, I went through something tragic but because of that, I also gained new feelings, and thoughts and a new someone as well. I got to meet my hero from back then. I got to see the face of my saviour. Back then, I didn't pay attention to his face or anything. But now, seeing his face just fills me with overwhelming delight.

A warrior of the Inugami Kingdom lunged at Vali-kun, who is in the air, with a large dangerous looking spear in his hands. The spear was that of a demonic nature as it had a dangerous amount of demonic aura around it.

Vali-kun put out his hand, gathering a large quantity of what appears to be demonic power. But how is it possible that he can use demonic power? I didn't understand it back then and even now I don't. I think that Vali-kun might be part Devil, but he hasn't told me yet. If he is...I wonder which family he is from?

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The shot was fired at the warrior. It was large, and it even made me feel it with my own body, despite it not being fired at me. I know that if I was hit by that, I would be erased from this very world!

The shot travelled to the warrior who swung his weapon to the side, dispelling the shot with ease! Hey hey! Did Vali-kun's dangerous looking shot really just dissipate or something!?

"Tch, Ma-chan was right after all."

Seemingly musing to himself, Vali-kun went forward as did the warrior. His beautiful wings shined as Vali-kun neared the man with a beard.

"Take this!"

The warrior swung the weapon to the right, scratching Vali-kun's arm armour! But Vali-kun was able to land a powerful punch on the enemies face, sending him backwards. The Inugami warrior regained his balance in the sky and readied his stance.

[Divide!]

From Vali-kun's armour, came a sound that wasn't Vali-kun's voice. Suddenly, I felt a difference in the mans power level. Like, it had been reduced or something. What was that about? The man looked at Vali-kun with narrowed eyes.

"Yes...I had heard about the Divine Dividing. So, you've halved my power and added it to yourself have you?"

Now that it was mentioned, Vali-kun's power did seem to go up then when the mans decreased. So, is that how his Sacred Gear works? I never really bothered asking until now. But it seems to me that it works in opposite to Ise-kun's Sacred Gear. Ise-kun's Sacred Gear is too Boost every ten seconds, but Vali-kun's ability is to Divide every ten seconds? Is there a time limit like that? Or is it that from Balance Breaker onwards, there isn't a time limit and you can Divide all you like? If that's the case, then Ise-kun's Sacred Gear could Boost his power indefinitely once reaching Balance Breaker!

But there must be a drawback to that. For instance, Divine Dividing, if you take in too much power, then wouldn't that overload your system or something? But even then, there must be away to counteract that kind of drawback. Perhaps, there's away for the excess power to disappear or something?

It could be the same for Ise-kin's Sacred Gear. He couldn't Boost his power to great heights, as his body wouldn't be able to take it. It all depends on the power of the possessor, and how much they would be able to hold within themselves.

For instance, I know that Vali-kun right now outstrips Ise-kun in terms of...pretty much everything. I'm not trying to be mean to Ise-kun, but Vali-kun's aura is quite larger than his own. Its even stronger than Yuuto-kun's. But its weaker than Sirzechs-kun and Ajuka-kun's aura. But Ajuka-kun and Sirzechs-kun are...

"That's right." Vali-kun put on a confident smile. "I was blessed that way in a sense. But now-"

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Before Vali-kun could finish, he was suddenly blasted by a large amount of power! It originated from his arm, and since he didn't expect it, Vali-kun's armour was blown away in parts! The entire arm armour was gone, and half of that side as well!

"Gaaa!"

Vali-kun spat out blood as he was blown towards me! Ooh shit! I knew I should've stayed outside the barrier but no, I wanted to see it up close! I'm such a baka sometimes!

CRASH!

I quickly jumped up and ran out of the way, as the ground and Vali-kun had a collision! I looked at Vali-kun, who was embedded into the ground, he had a narrowed eyed expression.

I think I know what the power was then. The warrior was able to scratch Vali-kun's armour, and leave a certain spell on his armour. Then when Vali-kun wasn't expecting it, he was caught by the spell, which made him lose so much armour.

No no, not just a spell, but also a Dragon slaying spell. Reading the flow of energy is a forte of mine. And from the spell, I sensed traces of Dragon slaying. So, I could only conclude that the enemy of Vali-kun's right now has the ability to use Dragon slaying magic.

It isn't like I haven't dabbled in that area myself.

I do know some knowledge on Dragon slaying magic's, but I don't think they would be able to do much against the Vanishing Dragon at this point. Maybe they would be able to hurt Ise-kun but not Vali-kun. Not that I have any plans to hurt Ise-kun or anything. Nah, I wouldn't hurt Ise-kun because he's a sweetie, when he isn't being a naughty pervert and picking on Yuuto-kun...speaking of, he better not be saying nasty things to Yuuto-kun, the same for Genshirou-kun.

I spoke to Vali-kun with a sympathetic tone yet also a joking tone as well.

"Ooh...Vali-kun. You okay?"

I put on a kind smile, but Vali-kun looked at me with nearly no emotion. Ehehe, I guess he didn't like my joking tone. I put my hands up in defence and beamed at him.

"Sorry, please do continue."

I stepped back and sat down on the grass. I don't care if the dress gets muddy, this fight is really interesting. Vali-kun made a fighting pose, a fearless and enjoyment smile appeared on his face and something else occurred his armour that was broken was repaired! Hey hey! I didn't know that could happen!

[Yes, the armour of the Scale Mail can be repaired as long as the wielder has sufficient power and is still awake. The fight wont end until Vali there can't continue fighting. Its a dangerous Balance Breaker, as it removes the time limit for his Divine Dividing. Plus the wings on the back release the excess energy that is absorbed. So, speaking honestly, that man is always kept in top power performance. But stamina isn't recovered, so its basically just the power. But I don't think stamina is a problem with that man.]

So there was a time limit after all but its removed once reaching Balance Breaker. And even something like that sounds scary. Staying in top power all of the time. Vali-kun surely is a scary existence huh. I'm glad that we have a good relationship with one another. Say, soul-kun. You seem to know about the armour that Vali-kun has donned. I was curious, have you ever met the Vanishing Dragon? No, maybe its more accurate to say, have you ever met any of the previous wielders of the Vanishing Dragon.

[I have a few times. But this Hakuryuukou seems to dwarf all of the other past possessors by a large margin. Hmph, that guy seems to be a crazy existence.]

Eh? What do you mean soul-kun?

[Well, its spoilers. Do you want to know about it or save it for later? Or maybe have him tell you instead?]

Erm...is it a dangerous spoiler?

[Not really. Its just that you and he have something in common. It took awhile for me to figure it out, but there's no mistaken it now. Girl, you and the Hakuryuukou have something in common.]

Eh? What's that then? Is it that we both have tragic pasts?

[Well, I wouldn't know about that. But I'm sure that you will understand soon enough.]

"Hmph, lets go!"

Vali-kun shot off into the sky again, creating a large amount of demonic bullets in and around his hands. They all shot off at the Inugami warrior but he simply either dodged them or batted them away from him with his spear.

[Divide!]

Another came out. The power flowed into Vali-kun from the warrior who narrowed his eyes and shot out some Senjutsu, but Vali-kun twirled around, kinda like he's dancing and dodged the attack. I guess, Vali-kun is going easy on this guy, or is trying to test this mans power.

From my perspective, Vali-kun did indeed take half of the power of that man twice, but it seems even that amount of his power is an amazing feat. Vali-kun looks like he is enjoying himself immensely. That's good. Vali-kun can enjoy himself, and then later we can really enjoy each others company...if that's something that he wants of course. I wouldn't force myself onto him or anything, not that I could.

[You really are a huge pervert, aren't you? Wanting to drag the Hakuryuukou to your love nest and make him bend to your will. Oooh, that does sound good! As your Sacred Gears spirit, I command you to be with Vali! Do him hard girl! He will most likely do anything you want him to do! Even do some weird sexual fetish you have!]

"PFT!"

I did a large spit take, as they stopped and looked at me.

"Ma-chan, are you okay?"

I blushed and looked away while nodding.

"I'm fine. Please continue."

I looked back to judge his reaction. He gives me a concerned look, but I wave him off.

"You sure?"

I gave an inclination with my head.

"Yes, I'm sure. Continue fighting Vali-kun."

Vali-kun raised his head, before lowing it again.

"If you're sure."

I nodded, and he continued his battle.

[Disgusting pervert. You really are a naughty girl. I bet my scenario was totally turning you on.]

I'm not a disgusting pervert! You are a pervert you pervert! It was not turning me on at all! It was vulgar! And was it really a scenario anyway?

[It was to me. You should take my feelings into account here.]

Whatever you say. You never take my feelings into account. Anyway, Vali-kun just keeps being sweet to me, that's why I like being around him. It isn't like I just met him. I feel like I've known him for years, even though we only technically met just at the Kokabiel incident. Before that was a hazy time and I didn't want to think about it. Anyway, I'm not a pervert or anything. If anything, Vali-kun is a pervert, because he kept groping my butt during our heated kiss.

[True, he does seem to have a butt fetish. Lets hope he doesn't want to do your...]

That's disgusting! Don't make such comments! I don't want you to talk about such things! I don't wanna think about that again soul-kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!

[Stop screaming at me! I'm not deaf, although I am now thanks to you. But back to the serious conversation. Girl, you do realize that the Hakuryuukou is a powerful existence? Why don't you have him deal with that bastard half brother of yours?]

...I don't want Vali-kun to murder him for me. I wouldn't want to use Vali-kun like that. Even if he does hurt me in lots of different ways. I wouldn't like Vali-kun getting into trouble because of me and my selfish wish for him to not touch me ever again...

[Hmmmmm, then you'll have to find another way of the problem if you don't want him to just bump off this bastard half brother. So, this bastard is your Otou-sama's kid, but with another woman? I thought that it was the females here treated with such sexual attention?]

Usually it is. But my Otou-sama's line is a precious line. Since my Otou-sama and Oji-sama were males and the only children to come from my grandparents, they were the ones who were granted the privilege of mating with more than one female. The opposite of what usually happens. In other words, my Otou-sama had a harem. But this person was born before me, but I was born soon after. Technically, we both are eligible for the throne as there is little difference between our births, but only one of us can be the next ruler.

[I understand. So, I'm guessing that you both have factions?]

We do. There's my supporters, and his supporters. Yuuki told me just before I left Kuoh that my faction is more dominant at the moment due to my connections with various people. Namely the Maou-sama's, the Sekiryuutei, Hakuryuukou, holy demonic sword wielder, the child of the Gremory clan Millicas-kun and now God.

[Really? Even Millicas?]

Yes, even Millicas-kun. You wouldn't think it, but he has his own followers you know? Because, he is more talented than Buchou, no disrespect to her, and he has a higher level of demonic power than someone his age should have. Actually, he has a higher level of demonic power than Buchou has. Hehe, maybe we should've set him on Kokabiel, that boy is... He's a crazy talent that I would compare with Vali-kun.

[Hmmmmm, the boy does seem to possess some strong power. Haha, only you would draw someone like that to you.]

H-Hey, what are you implying exactly?

[Nothing really. I just find it funny that these powerful guys like you. It must be because of your Inugami thing.]

I would also like to think that it is my personality as well.

[I suppose it is that as well. Well, you aren't a total bitch so that's good. But now, back to our previous talk. Your faction is stronger than your bastard half brother?]

Don't call me a bitch ever again. And yes, that's correct. But his faction is going strong. Pretty soon, I'm sure something dangerous will happen. But one of us has to be chosen. And I believe that he isn't what's needed for the Kingdom. I believe that I am the rightful heiress to the throne as I...I am a better person than him. I just know it in my heart.

[Yes, from what I've heard and seen in your memories, you are definitely the better person. I just hope that you come out of this unscathed.]

I do as well. Thank you, soul-kun.


"I'm done, Ma-chan."

"Huh?"

I became alerted and looked around. Before me, was an injured Vali-kun! He wasn't in his Balance Breaker anymore, and he had some injuries over his body. Geez, he has cuts all over his body. But...did I zone out or something?

I stood up, and looked over Vali-kun's appearance.

"Geez Vali-kun, you really did fight till the end. Did you win?"

I had to ask, because I literally was zoned out, talking with the soul-kun inside my Sacred Gear.

"Hmph..." He started off with a smug smile, but then it fell into a frown. "I won, but I had to rely on some other powerful moves. Nearly had to resort to using Juggernaut Drive actually."

"Whats Juggernaut Drive?"

I hadn't heard of it before. Juggernaut Drive? Is that some kind of power? Is it something dangerous? It sounds dangerous to me.

Vali-kun patted my head.

"It doesn't matter for now. Lets just say that its a double edged sword for users of the Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing, especially for the current Boosted Gear wielder. Fortunately, I am able to handle it with my power, for a few minutes."

A double edged sword huh. That means it could go wrong and hurt Ise-kun and Vali-kun? That's not good. In fact, I wont allow them to us it at all! Nothing, is worth your life like that!

"O-Oh...then please don't use it if its really a double edged sword. Promise me that you wont use this Juggernaut Drive, okay?"

"I can't promise that." My face fell into a sad frown. But Vali-kun patted my cheek. "I promise that I will only use it when its absolutely the last resort."

"Okay...I guess that's the best I'm going to get?"

He confirmed what I had stated with a slight nod of his head. At that time, I saw the warrior leave the area on a stretcher. Geez Vali-kun. I said you could fight him, not put him in the ground. Ugh, I don't even want to think about what he will do when he uses this Juggernaut Drive thing.

"I must admit that you was right Ma-chan. The warriors are powerful here."

Vali-kun said it with a slight smirk.

"Yes...it seems like he was a high class warrior, but not the highest. Sorry Vali-kun."

Vali-kun's eyes turned downwards in a perplexed state.

"E-Eh? Not the strongest? There are stronger enemies?"

"You mean adversaries, yes?"

I corrected, which made him nod.

"Of course, adversaries. But there really are stronger ones here?"

I nodded with a smile.

"That's right. There are some more powerful warriors here. If you're a good boy, I will let you fight them some other time. But for now...please sit down while I treat these injuries."

He complied with me without complaint, and sat on the ground. I sat down, and ran a healing magic through my hands. I pointed my hands at Vali-kun, as the light washed over him.

"I'm sorry, this is going to take a few minutes. If I had Twilight Healing, it wouldn't take that much time but this is my current limit. Sorry if I am taking too long."

"Its fine Ma-chan. I thank you for this. I'm sure that there's some other thing you'd need to do but you let me take time out of your life, and watched me fight."

So caring. Vali-kun is like that when we are alone after all. He's a lovely man, after all. Vali-kun...

"N-No!" I became flustered at his tone. "Its alright, really. I enjoyed the fight Vali-kun. It just proves how much more powerful you are than I am. Our dimensions are truly too different."

Vali-kun brushed my face with his hand, and rested it on my cheek.

"Not as far as you think."

"What do you-"

Chu!

Before I could finish, Vali-kun kissed me again! Aaaaaaaah! Vali-kun is kissing me! I didn't give him permission to kiss me! But it isn't unwanted, I know that. It seems that Vali-kun likes kissing me.

Vali-kun gently pushed me down, and got on top of me. I blushed as he continued to kiss me. I had to concentrate on healing his injuries, but he was making it very damn difficult!

Vali-kun's body pressed against my own, I felt something growing from his pants. From the hip area. His pants had turned into a tent shape from what I could see. It was really arousing, seeing his arousal.

I moved my lips in rhythm with his own, keeping my hands to his chest for the healing magic to take effect. Vali-kun moves his hand to my hip, and gradually runs it down my leg, touching my inner thigh as he goes down.

My heart pounded in my chest. Vali-kun's own heartbeat was going fast as well. I could hear it, since it is silent in the area right now. Vali-kun's face was dusted with a familiar pink colour. Its cute, when he blushes because its something that doesn't look like it would be there, but it is.

"V-Vali-kun..." I broke the kiss, and spoke with laboured breathing. "I-I didn't know you liked kissing so much..."

"I don't."

"Then..."

I was confused, but Vali-kun simply smirked at me, his eyes portraying his hungry sexual desire for me.

"I like the idea of us being closer. Whether that be kissing, holding you and being intimate. All of these actions are worth it."

His words, laced with naughty intentions. His eyes, scanning my form. My heart raced in my chest. I wonder, what is he thinking about right now? My inner self wishes to know what he is thinking. But besides his eyes, I can't tell what he is thinking.

His eyes are saying he wants me, but his face has turned neutral. My body arches upwards as he touches my dress-covered stomach. Even from just a touch, I felt the kind and caring nature he had.

"I-I see. W-Well that's..."

Before I could finish, he overlapped his lips with my own again! Geez Vali-kun! I didn't give the go ahead! But this is Vali-kun after all, he pretty much does what he wants and that's so bad of him. The bad boy, I must admit I'm attracted to the bad boy kind. But Yuuto-kun is someone who is ideal as well. He's loving, caring, sensitive but not overly so and loves me. That's the main thing, he loves me and I love him. If I remember that, then not even my half brother can hurt me. Because, I have someone who loves me.

Vali-kun's tongue was pressing against my teeth, begging entrance into my mouth. I didn't have any reason to refuse so I parted my lips and teeth. Vali-kun took advantage of that and thrusted his tongue into my mouth.

His tongue was dancing with my own in new realms of pleasure. Our bodies were being pressed together. My breasts were in his chest, his exploring hands were running up and down my body, as if he was trying to memorize each part of my body.

From just that, I was hooked on his kisses. I felt his hand going up and down my thigh roughly, but not painfully. Vali-kun was making sure that I felt good as well. He didn't hurt me, but he didnt exactly be gentle either. He had his eyes running up and down my body.

It was like his eyes were scanning my form again, seeing what he could get away with. His mischievous eyes didn't escape my notice. He really is a bad boy huh. But one does wonder sometimes...

Is...Vali-kun sexually frustrated or something? Because like we've kissed passionately each time we've kissed now. Granted, this is the second time. But he seems to be really going for gold here.

He fights yeah, but there's more to life. Maybe, he's showing me this other side so he can release the pent up frustration. Of course he is. Even Vali-kun has urges, he's just really good at hiding them.

Vali-kun remained vigilant in his touching's of my body. My dress was lifted up, exposing my legs to the world. Fortunately, Vali-kun didn't go past that. His hands were coarse, his lips were soft. My body was aching for more of Vali-kun.

My eyes were drinking his form. His body is in shape, I can tell from his shirt, that's pressed hard against his chest due to our closeness. His muscles were something I found exciting. They weren't hard bulging muscles, but he wasn't a stick either. It was the perfect balance of muscles.

I became a little daring and moved my hands to his hips. Placing them on his hips, I moved my hands upwards, his shirt lifting up as well. He saw what I was doing, but he didn't stop me at all. It was like he wasn't bothered what I did. Vali-kun was...

"Vali-kun, you are so bad."

I said between kisses. He smirked as his shirt came up to midriff, his stomach getting exposed. If I don't stop soon, then I seriously will give into the erotic pleasure of seeing this mans body.

"But, isn't that how you want me? Don't you like the bad boy kind?"

With that sultry smirk of his, he asked lustfully. His words were laced with pure desire. My face reddened to a colour that resembled a tomato.

"W-Well..."

He cut me off from talking with his lips.

"You don't need to say it. Your eyes already tell me as much."

"Well, my eyes are good at conveying information it seems. Vali-kun...I just want to say thank you for giving me comfort like this. I presume you felt my uneasiness of this day, and you wanted to comfort me..."

"Yes, that's a part of it, but I really just wanted to kiss you as well."

My eyes widened a little, then they blinked bewildered. But I didn't show anymore shock than that. I pulled him close to me, and whispered "Kiss me." which he complied too, bringing our lips together again.

Our kiss became fiery quickly. I pulled his top up, over his head, and discarded it to the side. I could see his chest, bare for my eyes only. I finished healing him, and placed a hesitant hand on his heart.

I could feel his heart beating from my hand. It was calmer than my own but faster than normal. Vali-kun took his lips away from my own, and touched my hand on his chest.

When I was going to pull away, he held my hand firmly on his chest.

"Don't worry Ma-chan, you're safe with me."

His words, caring yet full of want. It was like Vali-kun was craving my touch on his body. My face turned upwards in delight, as I brought our lips together again. Something was taking over me, and I didn't want to stop.

It was like we were driven by that same primal urge that came before. My inner Goddess was crying out for Vali-kun's touch, tongue, lips, anything that belongs to Vali-kun.

The texture of his lips. They are the best lips I could hope for. Yuuto-kun's are on par with this guys lips actually. Its just good, being like this with Vali-kun. I can feel Vali-kun's excitement with my leg, and feel his hear beating fast through my hands on his chest. I think that if we don't stop, then something might happen...

"Haha! I knew Vali had to be frustrated sexually!"

Our kiss was stopped when a certain Fallen Angel came by. I don't know how long we were kissing for exactly. But the sun had moved a fair distance since the last time I looked at it.

Maybe we've been kissing for an hour or something. But I couldn't help but feel embarrassed, being caught in such a compromising position. But unlike me, Vali-kun appears to be completely calm.

Vali-kun got off me, and stood tall and proud, resting his hands on his hips leisurely. Not even a hint of what we were just doing was in his eyes. Not even the slightest thing at all. Its like we weren't even kissing or anything then. He didn't even care that his chest was exposed to the world. Of course being a male, it isn't such a big deal. But even in front of Azazel-san, he remained composed as I was freaking out.

How can he switch so casually? I don't think that I could do something like that. No, make that I CAN'T do something like that! I mean, seriously!

"What a naughty Princess-chan you are."

Azazel-san looked at me with mischievous eyes.

"Eep!"

I let out that noise and stood up, brushing my dress, then hiding behind Vali-kun. I feel so...so very embarrassed right now. But Vali-kun turned around, and let a reassuring smile appear on his face.

I felt safe with the smile. Vali-kun took my hand, and brought me forward. I wrapped my arms around his arm, and held onto it for protection. But then I unwrapped my arms to his confusion.

I bent down, picked up his shirt, and stuck out my hand with a blush.

He looked between my hand and his chest. Catching what I meant with silence, he placed the shirt on his body again. I went over and resumed hugging his arm.

"So, Azazel. What're you doing here?"

Vali-kun said in a displeased tone. Perhaps because our kissing was stopped, he wasn't happy.

"I, am here to see Princess-chan for your information. But, I see that you are getting to know her very personally? Vali, I never pegged you for the type that forces yourself of the adorable Princess."

Azazel-san smirked, which made Vali-kun frown.

"Don't assume such things. I didn't force myself onto her. It was a mutual agreement."

I actually never agreed to it verbally at the beginning. But it wasn't unwelcome. It was more than welcome.

"If you say so." That only made Vali-kun frown even more. But Azazel-san didn't really seem to register it and he turned to me. "Princess, I have been told that I can't enter the research facilities anymore."

"Why?"

When I asked that simple question, he cried!

"They said that my ideas were insane!"

""That's because you're insane.""

Vali-kun and I said at the same time. I was stunned by that, and we shared a look, before smiling (smirking in his case) at one another. Well, Azazel-san shouldn't be insane and do weird things.

"I-I'm not insane!"

He denied it sadly. I rolled my eyes.

"Don't lie Azazel-san. I've heard the rumours, and you did make some weird comments when we met just before. That in of itself is strange, don't you think?" He shook his head, so I sighed. "Well, regardless. I will have a talk with them later. I'm sure that as Vali-kun's superior..." Vali-kun sent me a look so I bowed my head. "I mean as Vali-kun's boss..." He did the so-so sign at me. "...He would be happy if you are kept happy."

"Hmph!" Azazel-san crossed his arms angrily. "So, the only reason you'd help me is because of baka Vali then?"

I sharpened my eyes and glared.

"Don't call him baka Vali! Baka Azazel-san! But like, where's Ajuka-kun? Is he in the centre?"

"Y-Yeah! They let him in! But not me! Ooh no, just leave me alone and let in the baka with the creation fetish!"

I'm not surprised really. Ajuka-kun is...more behaved than this baka here. And what was that with the creation fetish? Ehehe, I'm sure that Azazel-san is just jealous of Ajuka-kun.

"Well, that isn't my problem. I've got my own problems...I mean, I have things to do. So, I...I wanted to say that...never mind. Azazel-san, I will go and talk with them at the next opportunity."

"Ah...I see. Makoto, is something wrong with you? Your demeanour changed."

Apparently, I'm not good with being deceptive with my demeanour and my tone I guess. I was about to answer, but Vali-kun did it for me instead.

"You don't need to concern yourself Azazel. I'm on top of it."

"You're on top of...what?"

He asked, more like wondered actually. He was on top of me just before...but that's not what Vali-kun meant. Vali-kun shook his head to the side.

"It doesn't matter. You just let me worry about Ma-chan here."

He'll worry about me huh...yeah, I guess he will. I felt Vali-kun's thumb stroke my finger, moving in a slow manner. It sent chills down my spine. But the good chills, not the bad ones. They felt good, going down my spine like that.

"Haha, truly, this girl has done wonders with you Vali. I'm glad, you have a girl that can make you think of other things besides fighting. Well done Makoto, keep your seduction up!"

"I-I don't seduce Vali-kun!"

"Its true, I seduce her."

He admits something like that so quickly!? W-Well, I shouldn't expect anything different from my hero-kun!

"Vali, that isn't something you should admit freely."

"Whatever. I don't care what you think. I only care about what Ma-chan thinks."

He looked at me, and I blushed. Thinking about it, Vali-kun and I are...I don't know what we are...lovers? We haven't said anything about it. But we have been kissing, groping and other things like that. I'm a girl, and I need to know what our relationship is. Maybe for males, its okay to just kiss girls and not be involved, but I wish to have something that's deep and meaningful. Doesn't he wish that as well?

"You know..." I began, smiling sheepishly. "All we do is sexual stuff..."

"Yeah, that's the best part."

I sweatdropped as did Azazel-san surprisingly.

"Yes, it is a big and really great part of it. But I don't want our relationship, if we have one that is, to be purely sexual."

Vali-kun bit his lip, and got into a thinking pose. A minute later, he nodded his head as if confirming something inside himself.

"I...I understand. Yes, you want to go on what is called a date, correct?"

"W-Well..." I feigned innocence, but then relented and nodded. "I would like to go out with you sometime. I would like to know more things about you. While the sexual stuff is...ooh God its good...b-but! I also want to know you personally! Don't you want to know me?"

"I do know you. But if you want to go on a date, then I don't mind."

"You could sound more enthusiastic you know?"

I deadpanned. Vali-kun tilted his head to the side.

"I understand. Yes, lets go on a date when we return to the human world."

"That's...better. Yeah! I can't wait now Vali-kun!"

I pecked his cheek! I couldn't be happier right now! My hero is going to take my on a date!

But then, I felt that mans aura nearby. My body tensed, my insides crying out for help. From just feeling his aura, my heart stopped in its chest.


[Library]

Shirou P.O.V

So that's it huh. I knew she was hiding something from everyone. But to have a half brother that she didn't reveal. What did this guy do to her to make her conceal this guys identity from everyone?

I'm glad that I was able to go through the family tree of her line. It seems that she's a little more special than she had previously disclosed to us. The potency of her power is something she has been concealing. I wonder if she inherited that power from her Otou-sama? She obviously inherited her powerful Okaa-sama's line but she hasn't showed us the powerful Inugami's power.

If she did, then she might rise another level in power. I'd say she'd be able to take care of Kiba if she had that kind of power, even in his Balance Breaker. Hmph, I bet that might be a little of a downer for him. He, who has sworn to protect her, is out-shined by her. Meh. I wont worry about it.

But its interesting to know if her half brother has it? I've read here that he is some kind of powerful warrior here. So, he might have the power from his and her powerful line. If so...then I dont want to think about it.

"Here Fujimura-sama, the reference materials you had asked for. Also a copies of the recent activities regarding the nobles."

A maid that Sakurame assigned to be my personal maid handed me another book. Its time to study the politics of the Inugami's and to see what is going to be bothering her about her half brother.

"Ah, thank you."

I bowed my head to the maid who did the same.

"Say, you are my personal maid now, right?"

"As long as Ojou-sama wishes it, then I will do as you ask short of having sex with you or giving you oral sex."

"Pft!" I did a large spit take! She really thinks that I was going to ask her for sex!? Are all Inugami's insane or just the ones I know!? "N-No! I wasn't asking for something like that! I was just wondering!"

"Ah, I see. Then I am at your service. But not for sex."

For Maou sake, this maid is obsessed with sex!

"Okay! Geez, are you like a sex maniac or something!?"

"I am currently a virgin, Fujimura-sama. Are you trying to offer to take my virginity?"

Is Sakurame playing some kind of game with me? Did she send this maid because she's the craziest maid she could find? It does sound like Sakurame to do something like that to me. Knowing Sakurame, she is laughing to herself right now at my expense...or crying right now because of her situation...I think...

"No." I said with a deadpan look. "I wasn't offering something like that."

"Good because I am not going to offer sex. Sex, is a no-no for you Fujimura-sama."

She pointed at me and shook that finger.

I sighed and shook my head. I would freak out, but this place is freaky itself. I am kind of scared of this woman that's before me.

"I don't want sex from you."

"Then, its Ojou-sama you are looking for a sexual conquest?"

Geez! Why would she even say something like that!? Sakurame as a sexual conquest!? I-It isn't like I have thought about it before...but I'm sure she wouldn't want someone like me...I can't even talk to her normally without either insulting her on accident or just saying something stupid.

"No!" I waved my hands frantically in front of my face. "I'm not looking for sex from Sakurame. We are..."

I couldn't finish the sentence, as I don't know what we are to one another. Friends? Are we friends? Are we something more than that? Or something less? Only Sakurame can answer what I am to her. To me she is...that's the thing, I haven't a clue on how to answer that.

Even now, I'm researching about her problems, and I don't understand why. Why do I even care what problems she has? She has Kiba, Hyoudou, Vali and God knows who else to look out for her. So why does it feel like I have to find out how to help her as well?

"You are...what Fujimura-sama?"

"Nothing." I waved her off. "I need to start researching now."

"Yes of course Fujimura-sama."

The maid-san with the purple hair bowed her body, and stood back four steps.

I opened the book lazily and flipped the pages while reading them intently. She has got herself into a fine mess hasn't she...wait, what's that...champions?


[Castle Interior, 2 hours later]

Yuuto P.O.V

"Hello everyone, my name Daemon Inukami. Even though I'm like this, I am an Inugami of the highest order, and also Makoto's elder brother."

...Yes, I had become shocked by this young mans announcement. At first I thought he was playing a game but looking at Makoto-chan's face, who's next to me, I could tell that he was telling the truth.

Sometime ago, Nagisa-san took us males (Millicas-sama, Mitsu-san, Saji-kun, Ise-kun and myself) to the gaming centre. I had fun with the others, surprisingly Ise-kun and Saji-kun didn't say anything strange to me. They must've been afraid of Makoto-chan. Even I would be if she threatened to kick my butt. She's powerful when angered. But she doesn't get angry at me so I'm protected!

But the gaming ended when Nagisa-san met with a maid that said that Makoto-chan would need us for something's. Naturally I became curious and decided to investigate with the others. But what he came across was a young man.

The young man possesses turquoise eyes and medium-length, black hair with one of his bangs covering his left eye. He has a generally polite and pleasant face and has an aura that disarms all ill intent towards him. I don't know what it is, it just feels like that. He is wearing an open, black blazer with a white dress shirt and black dress pants.

Being an Inugami, he possesses the normal features Inugami seem to have. Including dog ears and a tail that matches his hair colour. He possesses a soft and sheen appearance that one could only attain after long, careful grooming.

From his looks, it seems like he was someone who was related to Makoto-chan. He definitely has a facial structure that resembles Makoto-chan's own facial structure. The young man was looking at Makoto-chan who was being accompanied by Vali, Dulio-san, Buchou and Kaichou.

Both women had said that the peerages were getting settled in, and they had by chance met up with Makoto-chan who had met up with Dulio-san. I already knew that she was with Vali so that isn't an issue.

When noticing us, we went over and the young man had introduced himself politely.

But from his introduction, I was shocked because he said that he was...

[ELDER BROTHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!?]

Besides Vali, Nagisa-san and Dulio-san, everyone had shouted out. Makoto-chan looked downwards, and gave a small head nod.

"Yes...this man is...Lord Daemon Inukami, and...my half brother...Otou-sama's side..."

For some reason, she wasn't showing the usual cheeriness she shows. In fact, she isn't making eye contact with anyone. What's wrong with her? Has someone upset her? She...that look on her face doesn't suit her at all.

"That's right little sis! You surely are looking sad huh!? Its a meeting, a reunion with me, your Onii-sama! I thought that you would've been a little more happy to see me!"

His cheery words rang out in this hall. But, I felt like something was off. Something...I didn't like. I can't put my finger on it, but it was 'too cheery' for my taste. Makoto-chan stiffened like a board and gave a small inclination with her head.

"Y-Yes...I am..."

"That's good~"

He tried to move closer, but Vali got in front of him.

"Don't take another step."

His tone was cold, low. It was full of killing intent. I don't understand, does Vali not like her elder brother? He only met him. Can he really make such quick judgments? However, the smiling face of Daemon-sama seemed to not even give a hint of leaving.

"Ara, is something wrong...Hakuryuukou-san?"

"Just don't move any closer to her and we wont have any problems."

Vali...he sounds so angry for some reason. But I don't know what that reason is. The atmosphere is tense. Kaichou, and Buchou have sharpened eyes. Ise-kun looks like he's a little angry at Vali, the same with Saji-kun. Millicas-sama and Mitsu-san are looking nervous, and Nagisa-san has closed her eyes, her expression being unreadable. Dulio-san however has similar eyes to what Vali has towards this Daemon-sama...does Dulio-san not like Daemon-sama either?

Dulio-san gets between the two, and gave a strained smile.

"Sorry, but Makoto-tan is a little tired right now and there's no need for bad blood now is there? Either way, is there something you needed from her?"

Daemon-sama stepped back, fixing his collar.

"Yes, Oji-sama wishes to have his final words with my Darling little sis. Since it is theorized that he will be dead by tomorrow, he wishes to give his final words to her. I, have already done something like that. Now, it is Makoto's turn." He then stuck out his hands. "Come Makoto, I will take you."

Makoto-chan's eyes shot open, and they gave a refusal look.

"I...I remember where the medical bay is...thank you...Onii...Onii-sama for the...o-offer though..."

Hearing that, he relented.

"I see. Then, I hope to catch up with you in the future."

She gave the tiniest of nods before going into herself. Seeing that, he smiled happily.

He turned his heels and was about to walk away, he turned to Buchou.

Buchou caught his gaze and stared with wonder.

"What is it?"

She asked in a cold tone. However, the youth remained normal and answered her.

"I had heard that you are very unlike an ape."

He said it with politeness.

Hearing that, Buchou teared up, as Kaichou rolled her eyes.

"Thank you! I knew I wasn't an ape! I'm also beautiful, aren't I?"

"Yes, very beautiful indeed daughter of Gremory."

"Doctor! I have a new best friend!"

Buchou jumped up and down happily, as apparently being called an ape is very devastating to her. She is even crying happy tears. Buchou, I'm glad that you have found someone who thinks you aren't an ape. Although I kind of still do think you are an ape, I just wont say it to your face. I still remember how she treated Makoto-chan back when we first interacted. There was no need for such things.

"Ooh ape, it must be grand being you. Not a care in the world."

Kaichou giggled a little at the red haired girl. Said girl sharpened her eyes and stopped jumping up and down.

She looked at Kaichou and middle fingered her!

"I hate you Sona! Just piss off you hooker! You can't even let me enjoy a minute of happiness! You have to ruin everything that means anything to me! Doctor!"

A-And, that's why she is called an ape. No wonder people call it her when she is acting like a weird child.

"Now now, there's no need for fighting. Sitri-san, I believe that you are just as beautiful as Gremory-san there. And also very intelligent as well. A good combination in my books."

Sona-Kaichou's face turned a little red because of Daemon-sama's compliment. But she shook her head and looked away. He's a charismatic person, isn't he? Buchou glared but then gained a happy smile as Daemon-sama produced a lollipop.

"Here Gremory-san."

Throw.

Catch.

Buchou caught the lollipop and sucked on it like a kid. Kaichou giggled to herself but Buchou didn't seem to care.

"This shit tastes good~"

Kaichou giggled even harder at Buchou who sucked wildly. It seems that Ise-kun liked what she was doing, because he is nose bleeding while looking at her with lustful eyes. I must admit that if Makoto-chan was doing that, my nose would be bleeding as well.

But then he turned to Ise-kun and Saji-kun.

"Rumours have it that you both enjoy the women's bodies? Is that correct?"

""Yes!""

T-They both answered without hesitation! Is that something you really should admit so freely!?

Daemon-sama smiled a little.

"Hehe, I thought so. Next time, I shall give you the secret hiding place where you can examine the girls bath."

They gained starry eyes and beamed at him with such brightness. T-That's kind of weird guys...you know? I can't believe that they are tempted with such things. Well I wont be as I dont know what it is, but this guy is making me feel weird. That's the best explanation I can give.

As I was thinking that, Saji-kun and Ise-kun went forward towards him, and bowed their heads.

""Please tell us!""

W-Why are they in synch with one another!? But, at this time, I would've summarized that Makoto-chan might intervene and say something but...when I looked at her, she was still looking at the ground.

I seriously need to find out what's wrong with her. This isn't like the girl I love. She is usually so full of life, so vibrant. But this girl...I don't know this girl. She's nothing like the Makoto-chan that I met and fell in love with. This girl...is a stranger to me.

And its not only me that's noticed either. Dulio-san and Vali seem to have concerned looks for Makoto-chan. If I didn't know any better, then I would swear that something has scared her. That is the only time I've ever seen her close to this before.

"Yes of course. For now, I have a prior engagement, but next time I definitely will." The young man bowed his head, then looked at me. "You, are the one called Kiba Yuuto-san of the holy demonic sword?"

I inclined my head.

"That's right. My name is Kiba Yuuto, Knight of Rias Gremory-sama. Pleased to meet you."

Buchou gave me a thumbs up and licked her lips at Ise-kun. Ise-kun blushed a little at that. I...don't know what purpose that served.

The youth raised his head ever so slightly. For a second, I could've sworn that he narrowed his eyes. Maybe...it was just my imagination or something.

"I can smell Makoto all over you." When hearing that, Makoto-chan stiffened so suddenly. But like not noticing it, the young man continued. "I didn't mean anything by it Kiba-san. But if you are my dear sisters mate, then its good that you are...powerful enough to...protect her. Sometime, I would like to test myself against the holy demonic sword."

"...Not against Yuuto-kun..."

Makoto-chan mumbled, looking at me with a sadness that I've rarely seen on her face. I tilted my head in a concerned manner but she looked away sadly. I didn't catch what she said, but it must've been something concerning.

I faced back to the youth who seemed to be waiting for my answer. I exhaled.

"Yes, I would love to fight against you as well, Daemon-sama."

"Splendid." He clapped his hands together, then faced Makoto-chan. "See you later dear little sister."

He spoke to her politely, but she didn't answer him. In fact, she just looked away sadly. When I touched her hand, she reeled it back and looked at me as if she was really frightened of me for an instant before her features returned to normal.

It was that instant I knew something was very wrong. Makoto-chan has never been afraid of my touch before. But all of a sudden, she was frightened and she looked at me with real fear. I don't understand...Makoto-chan was frightened of me...

"Makoto-chan...are you..."

"Y-Yes..." She cut me off and faced her elder brother. "I...I will see you...later."

He smiled and then walked away. Once his departure was confirmed, Makoto-chan's expression changed from her sad one, to a one of a normal nature. Eh? What was that about then? Does she and her brother have some bad blood or something? Nah, it couldn't be that, right? He was being nice to her. But I can't help but shake the feeling that something was very wrong then.

Makoto-chan...fear. I never want her to experience that with me. But she looked at me like that. I...I don't know what caused it, but she was actually afraid of me. I adopted a small smile and looked at her.

"Makoto-chan, are you alright? Are you perhaps not feeling well?"

"...I'm fine Yuuto-kun, don't worry about me."

Her hollow voice only made me feel even more suspicious than before.

"Ah...are you sure?"

I wanted to confirm that she was fine. But I was only met with a face that would be called neutral.

"I'm sure. Now, I best go and see my...Oji-sama." She took a step forward, but then looked at me. "Come with me?"

It almost sounded like she was begging me then. I knew the reason. Her Oji-sama wasn't exactly nice towards her. In fact, I heard that he used to abuse her mentally, and sometimes physically as well. I don't know how I'm going to keep my calm if he starts talking shit about her, but for Makoto-chan, I will do it.

I took her hand, this time she didn't pull away frightened. I held her hand tightly, and smiled.

"Of course I will go with you."

She smiled in appreciation and held my hand tightly.

"Hey Makoto-chan! We'll go with you!"

Ise-kun gave a thumbs up, which made her gain an appreciative smile.

"Sure...just please don't speak out of term. I'm not being nasty or horrible, but what you say could affect the situation in away that it shouldn't be affected. So, please promise me that you wont say anything bad, okay?"

"Y...Yeah, I wont say anything."

"T...Thank you Ise-kun. Now...lets go."

Makoto-chan first of all went forward, with me and Vali (who took her other hand) then Dulio-san followed with the others. Makoto-chan kept taking looks at me, so I smiled back. When I did, she looked away from me.

I just can't help think it now. She, really does have something wrong. Makoto-chan is...upset about something. I know that she didn't want to come here, but I never thought that it would effect her like this.

We walked for a number of minutes. I took note of the tapestries on the walls. The one that caught my eye the most was of a young girl, maybe 8 or 9 with long pink hair, some of her bangs covering her left eye and matching eyes. The little girl was wearing a Princess style dress with dog accessories, and she even had a dog tail and doggy ears. She was a cute little girl and she had a bright smile on her face that I didn't miss. Yes, this girl is my lovely girlfriend as a small child.

She was surely cute when she was a young girl! Loli Makoto-chan is cute! But I love my age Makoto-chan more. Although the Loli Makoto-chan was very adorable. I wonder if our children will look like Makoto-chan...? The girls would be really pretty just like their Okaa-sama. If they did, I would be happy...children!

Ehehe, I don't think I should be thinking about something like that! Y-Yeah! Makoto-chan and I haven't even been with one another yet, and I'm thinking about children!? I'm completely nuts! If she heard this, then she would think I'm completely insane.

A-Anyway...Loli Makoto-chan was stood next to a woman who had a very impressive figure, that outmatched Buchou and Akeno-san, not that I look or anything. I only look at Makoto-chan like that. She had the same hair colour as the young girl but her eyes were of a red colour, almost blood like red at that. It was something that you don't see that often. The woman had on a long frilly dress and earrings that have stars on them. All in all, this woman could be called beautiful.

And to the other side of Makoto-chan was a man who looks around 25 years old that could be called handsome. He was a well built man, with black hair that's short. He has matching black eyes and also has the features of an Inugami. His hair shined a little in the tapestry. He was wearing a royal outfit, adorned with a large cape that's red and he has dog ornaments attached to his clothing.

"Whoa...she's a bombshell!"

Saji-kun also realized the tapestry and looked at it with interested eyes. Ise-kun looked and also drooled, but he seems to have a sad look on his face as well. Millicas-sama and Mitsu-san looked at the image, before looking at Makoto-chan with small blushes. Nagisa-san smiled happily at the image, and also at Makoto-chan as well. Buchou and Kaichou look with envious eyes at the woman who is Makoto-chan's Okaa-sama I believe. Vali and Dulio-san look at it indifferently, as if they aren't bothered by it.

Saji-kun faced Makoto-chan.

"Makoto-chan! Who's that woman!? Your Onee-sama or something!?"

Makoto-chan gave a bitter smile.

"She's...my Kaa-chan."

Saji-kun's face dropped. Yes, he understood what it meant.

Yes it was Makoto-chan and her parents.

"My parents and me together. That was when my parents and I were together as a happy family..."

She trailed off, and hugged herself.

She looks really happy there. Her true smile. I hate admitting it, but I have only rarely seen even a fraction of this true smile of hers. She has shown it me when we were confessing our love and such, but during normal times. I could always tell that her smiles were fake. Its because...her parents were murdered right in front of her. Something like that couldn't of been easy for her.

I wonder if she's...ever really talked about her parents death? Has she ever talked to anyone about her parents death?

"A-Ah...Makoto-chan I am so..."

When Saji-kun tried to apologize, Makoto-chan waved her hand.

"Don't worry Genshirou-kun, I'm fine. It just reminds me of happy times. But my life is plenty happy now, as I have people who care about me. Anyway! Lets go and see what Oji-sama wants!"

Such a quick change in her personality huh. No, it was more like it was forced more than anything else.

But we continued on nonetheless. We walked for quite sometime. This castle really is huge. It is many times the size of the Gremory castle. Honestly speaking, if Makoto-chan or one of the other residences of this place wasn't around guiding us, then I would get completely lost.

But eventually, we came to a room. A room that had 'Medical Bay' written above the door. And there's a person who is standing outside the door, a boy who I am well acquainted with. The boy that's named Yuuki. Makoto-chan's cousin.

He's dressed in his usual rich kid look, and he has a smirk on his face.

"Hello Makoto-sama, Nagisa, Dulio-sama, Hakuryuukou-sama and peons."

Ugh, when he addresses us as "Peons." it really pisses me off. But, I don't get why Vali and Dulio-san get special mention. Ise-kun is the Sekiryuutei, and I am the holy demonic sword wielder.

I'm not so vain as to expect special attention, but this guy is...ugh, I don't know if he is playing with us or just pissing us off. Either way, it is working! Ise-kun has sharpened his eyes, as did Saji-kun. Mitsu-san just has a tilted head, as Millicas-sama steps forward and beams at Yuuki, but has a mischievous undertone.

"Hello, Yuuki-san!"

"Ooh, its you is it? I didn't expect that they would let in trash."

He just called Millicas-sama trash! What an arrogant bastard! I really dislike this person.

"You little fucking twat! Don't you speak to Millicas like that!"

"Ooh piss off ape."

Buchou sobbed to herself. Brought down by four words, she slunk to the floor. Makoto-chan took a step forward, ready to defend Millicas-sama, but Millicas-sama put out his hand.

She looked at him with a quizzing look.

"Millicas-kun? I will punish him for saying..."

"No no." Millicas-sama cut her off. "Its okay Nee-chan. I know how to deal with this person."

"Deal with me huh?" Yuuki glared but smirked as well. "How does the little Gremory think he can deal with me? You do realize that I am stronger than you are, right? I have power that's beyond your tiny mind-"

"But I have something that you don't have."

Something Millicas-sama has that Yuuki don't have? What's that? Kindness? Respect? Loyalty? A good heart?

But Yuuki raises his eyebrows suspiciously.

"What could you possibly have that I don't have?"

Millicas-sama turns to Makoto-chan and beams up at her. Makoto-chan catches it and looks down with a kind smile.

"I have Nee-chan of course."

"Y-You have Makoto-sama!? That's a damn lie!"

Yuuki roared at Millicas-sama, his voice laced with killing intent. But Millicas-sama stood his ground and took Makoto-chan's hand. Makoto-chan looked down at him and he adopts a small smile.

"Nee-chan, can you bend down for me please?"

"E-Eh...sure. Since its you asking, I will do it."

Knowing what's coming, she bend her body. Millicas-sama brushed some of her hair away from her face, and overlapped his lips with her own. Each time I see it, I notice that Makoto-chan's face heats up to such a point that if you touched it, your hand would be burnt from the heat. Its because she is a secret Shotacon. Although its not that much of a secret.

Mitsu-san walks over, looking jealous, and starts kissing her cheek! Ehehe, he's usually planning ways out with Millicas-sama to seduce Makoto-chan. I've heard some of the plans, and some are actually quite ingenious.

Yuuki opened his mouth, and gained teary eyes. Kaichou just looked on with a wondering gaze as does Nagisa-san. Vali doesn't seem to be interested in the kiss, Dulio-san seems to be upset by it. Myself, I'm not that bothered as I will just kiss her later. Buchou ground her teeth together as did Ise-kun and Saji-kun.

Ise-kun's and Saji-kun's reason was because he's jealous. He's not kissed Makoto-chan, yet Millicas-sama can do it whenever he wants really (because she secretly loves it) but Ise-kun and Saji-kun can't. Buchou's teeth grinding is because Millicas-sama is her little brother and she must be thinking about if they get married.

"You know Rias." Kaichou smirked as Buchou frowned. "If Millicas and Makoto-san get married, she will be your sister in law."

"...D-Don't Sona..."

Buchou's sad voice was coming through, but barely above an echo.

"Don't what?" Kaichou feigned innocence. "I am merely saying that you and her could be sisters in law one day. It would be lovely, don't you think? You and her could chat together about your sisterly bond and such. You could even talk about what Millicas and she do together..."

"Doctor! Tell her to stop it! Please Doctor! I can't do this much longer!"

Buchou cried hard tears as Kaichou laughed at her. That's cruel, but kinda funny at the same time. It would be the same if she wanted to marry Makoto-chan's elder brother.

"Don't worry Rias, I'm sure they wont marry for awhile. But when they do, would you like me to put in a good word for you to be the maid of honour?"

"...Uuu..." Buchou looks ill, like she is going to faint! Her eyes are rolling in her head, and her body is convulsing! "Doctor...help me...please save me from this nightmare..."

N-Nightmare huh...so its her nightmare that Makoto-chan and Millicas-sama kissing? Speaking of, it seems that its getting a little hot and heavy, even for them. But Makoto-chan broke the kiss as Mitsu-san stopped kissing her cheek, and blushed immensely.

"Millicas-kun...Mitsu-kun...you really are bad gifts right now." Makoto-chan looked towards Yuuki... "Eh? Where did he go?"

Yeah, like she said, he's gone. Where did he go?

Nagisa-san sighed and looked forward.

"Onii-sama ran off in tears when you was kissing the Gremory boy. Poor Onii-sama, I think that you've broken his brain. Well, I will have to go after him." She starts running down the corridor. "Onii-sama! Please don't cry!"

Faster than I could see, she had disappeared. Ehehe, siblings huh...

"Okay everyone." Makoto-chan got our attention. "Whatever happens now, please don't get involved. This man...my Oji-sama will most likely say horrible things to me now, but please don't get involved, even if you really want to hit him."

She was looking at Ise-kun who looked away angrily. Even I am a little angry. She's telling us not to help her if she's verbally attacked. I don't know if I can keep that promise.

"Alright Makoto-san, we understand."

Kaichou said it with calm eyes, but had a frown on her face. Makoto-chan nodded and braced herself.

"Okay here we go."

Mumbling that out, she opened the door. She stepped through the door without a moments pause.

I entered first with the others following. In the room was...


A large bed in the middle of the room. There were two windows at either side of the room. Curtains of a decorative nature was hanging near the windows. There was medical equipment all around the room, and some tubes as well with a strangely coloured liquid inside.

But my eyes fell onto a form on the bed. A frail looking man with Inugami features. He was hooked up to various medical equipment. His chest was going up and down slowly. But his eyes were glued to Makoto-chan who shifted her position uncomfortably.

"Hello...Oji-sama."

Her voice was barely hearable. Her Oji-sama focused his eyes on Makoto-chan.

"Is that...you child?"

His voice was of a disbelieving nature.

"Y-Yes. Its me Oji-sama. I...I have returned home."

Her voice was breaking. Even though he hasn't really spoken, her voice sounded like her life is shattering right now. Her Oji-sama sat up on the bed, let out a cough and looked back at Makoto-chan.

"Why...did you return?"

His voice was getting lower, almost a cold tone.

"I...I returned because the Kingdom needs me."

"Haha, no one needs you bitch."

W-What did he just call her!? He actually called her a bitch! H-How dare he call her something like that!?

I sharpened my eyes as he continued on while making a bitter smile appear on his face.

"Hahaha, your elder brother will be a better ruler than a mongrel like you. You might have the supporters but he's got power that's leagues above your own. I am glad you came back actually, so I can look on the impure form that came from my foolish elder brother. Mating with a human, it sickens me. You are the offspring of your whore mother and my idiot brother. Truly, your existence shouldn't of happened."

What does he mean about supporters and his power? Isn't Makoto-chan going to become the Queen anyway? Or...is there some kind of struggle of power that I'm unaware of? Is that why Makoto-chan was silent before? Her brother seemed nice, but why would her Oji-sama mention something about power? What does that have to do with anything?

I tightened my hands, as did pretty much everyone else did. He's speaking to her, like she is nothing more than an inconvenience. Even saying something like she shouldn't exist is something that's unforgivable. Makoto-chan's hands shook a little, but she kept her calm face on.

"Oji-sama, I do not appreciate you speaking about my Kaa-chan and Tou-chan like that. They were good people, and I wont allow you to drag their names down like this."

"Why not? That's what they were, and you're both of those things put together. Such a disgusting existence that's pretending to be a Princess. I don't even know why you bothered to dress up in that."

Makoto-chan's eyes became a little wet with some tears, but they haven't spilled out of her eyes.

"Because I'm a Princess, that's why. I am someone who is..."

"Disgusting." He spat out over her voice. "It makes me feel disgusted looking at a half breed like you. Impurity to the throne? That's something I wouldn't allow as long as I am alive. I might be dying, but I would never support a half breed disgusting bitch like you."

I don't know if I can keep my anger to myself much longer. Saying all these things to Makoto-chan, who is a lovely woman, is despicable.

"E-Even if you don't support me, others do. They see the freshness that I would bring. They see what you don't see Oji-sama. You are a narrow minded bigot who is stuck in the old ways. My Tou-chan understood what it meant to move forward, you don't. He understood about making peace with the other factions, something you'd never consider."

She said it strongly, with conviction. Her tone was that of anger and regret as well. But the man narrowed his eyes in disgust.

"Your father was an idiot!" He snapped, giving Makoto-chan judgmental eyes. "He was a moron. Making peace with Angels, Fallen Angels and Devils? Not to mention other factions? That's completely stupid!"

"It isn't stupid!" She denied, holding in her tears. "He was a great man with great ideas. Unlike you, he cared about other people. He cared about not just Inugami's, but the world as well. He cared about the Devils, Angels, Fallen Angels, other Youkai and the other supernatural beings. Even humans were ones who he cared about. So do not talk about my Tou-chan like he was someone you are above, when you aren't."

Makoto-chan's eyes were becoming even more tear-filled. But this man just sneered at her.

"Hmph, I'm glad my children aren't disobedient like you are. You should learn your place and not speak unless you are spoken too, and not speak down to your elders. You should learn from my children."

Learning from his children? I can understand Nagisa-san as she's a nice girl like Makoto-chan, but Yuuki's kind of a bastard. But he's well nicer than this man. From just a few minutes here, I can tell why she didn't want to come here again.

"Your children huh." She gave a hollow laugh. "Yeah, your children are better than you are. Yuuki, with all his faults is 1000 times better than you are. Nagisa, well its even harder to believe that she is your child. She's kinder than anything. But you, are a person who likes to bully others and someone who throws their weight around to make others feel horrible. Is that all you are capable of now? Is that how you get your giggles?"

That's a good point Makoto-chan. It seems that all this man is capable of doing is throwing insults and degrading her. Its like he gets off on making her feel like crap. His expression changed when he heard that.

"I didn't call you here to talk to you. I called you here so I could tell you that your brother is the one who will win in the end. No matter what, he will be the one who rules, and you can run away from your responsibilities like always. I blame the human in you."

"The human in me, makes me a stronger person."

"The human in you makes you the bitch of the Devils." He looked at me, at Vali, Millicas-sama, Ise-kun and Saji-kun in turn. Then he looked at Makoto-chan again. "Devils, really? So, you're going to shame our proud race even more by becoming the bitch of Devils? I can even smell your scent on that familiar boy, and that exorcist. Disgusting pig."

She was on the verge of tears so I moved forward and wrapped my arms around her in a comforting embrace. I don't care what that man was saying to her, I don't care if he looks down on me, he's hurt my girlfriend, and that wont bode well for me. If he wasn't dying, then I would've punched him for his words.

My eyes were burning with the fires of rage. My fists were tightened so tight that blood was coming from them. Its no wonder she was frightened before if this is how people treat her here. She hasn't done anything to deserve such treatment.

Its not her fault her Okaa-sama was human, and her Otou-sama engaged in a relationship with a human. She didn't ask to be born, and she didn't ask to fall in love with me either. I don't know what her feelings are for the others, but we are in love, and its like he is mocking our love.

"Hey! You're out of line now!" Ise-kun exploded, glaring harshly. "You've said all these horrible things to her when she's really a sweetheart! You are being too nasty to her! And I don't give two shit's if you are her uncle and you are dying! You, are hurting her feelings for no reason other than to just hurt her! Its cruel and sadistic! You, are the worst kind of person!"

"Ise-kun I..."

Makoto-chan looked and spoke in shock. I noticed that Buchou had narrowed eyes at the man who is disgusting himself but she didn't stop Ise-kun from speaking. She must have similar feelings to Ise-kun. Kaichou had sharp eyes at Saji-kun, who had a face that's similar to Ise-kun's. Pure rage. But unlike Ise-kun, Saji-kun wouldn't speak because Kaichou can be scarier than Buchou when it comes to politics.

Vali's and Dulio-sans expressions were that of dark ill intentions, directed at the frail man. Millicas-sama and Mitsu-san were also glaring harshly at the frail man. He is the worst kind of person.

Makoto-chan's Oji-sama here sneered at Ise-kun.

"I am not talking to a disgusting filthy reincarnated Devil who happens to be the Sekiryuutei. Here, that doesn't give you any rights to talk to me. You don't have rights to speak in my presence. You're filth. Get out of my presence you filthy creature."

He continued to belittle Ise-kun with very harsh words.

"I wont go until you apologize for making Makoto-chan feel so sad! You need to apologize to her before you die! She's nothing but sweet, but you are nothing but horrid!"

"Hmph, without that Sacred Gear, you're nothing. Its from your disgusting human heritage. What vile. It makes me want to vomit, having people with Sacred Gears here. All of you males bar the little ones have Sacred Gears. It makes me want to die faster having you things in my homeland. All of you, are nothing but Gods vile creatures. Not even worthy of being here."

SLAP!

A hand went across the cheek of the frail man. It ricocheted off the mans cheek, leaving a red mark there.

The person who slapped him was Makoto-chan who had an angry look in her eyes.

"Stop it now Oji-sama!" Makoto-chan snapped this time. "Stop belittling Ise-kun and everyone here! They are all amazing! Ise-kun is the amazing Sekiryuutei! Vali-kun is the wonderful Hakuryuukou who saved my life! Yuuto-kun is the handsome holy demonic sword wielder who I love so much that it hurts! Genshirou-kun is the strong Absorption Line user who protected me! Millicas-kun is the cute child of Gremory and my cute little boyfriend! Mitsu-kun is my gracious important familiar who I love very much! Dulio-Nii-chan is my childhood friend who always played with me and the best exorcist ever! Kaichou and Buchou are the heiresses to their clans and marvelous people! They are 1000...No, they're millions of times better than you are! They all have great and loving hearts!"

Makoto-chan took a breath, then pointed at the frail man in the bed who looks shocked that Makoto-chan is actually saying these words.

"You, are someone who even bullied children because you are that pathetic that you need to hurt children! Well guess what, I'm not a child anymore! You can't bully me anymore! I have people who all love me! You, have no one! Not even Nagisa and Yuuki really love you! They are frightened of you! I hope you are proud of yourself, making your own children fear you!"

Well done Makoto-chan. You tell him what you want. Don't be afraid anymore. He can't hurt you anymore. Like you said, you aren't a child anymore. I think she needed this very much.

But as I thought that, the man gave a dirty grin.

"My children might fear me, but at least I raised them longer than yours did."

.

.

.

...What did he say?

Makoto-chan opened her eyes wide and looked at him with leaky eyes.

"W-What?"

His grin turned into a disgusting, vile sneer.

"The day your parents died, should've been the day that you died as well. You should've died along with your parents. The world would've been better off without you in it."

Makoto-chan raised a hand to her face, and tears came from her eyes like a waterfall. They fell onto her dress, staining it with her tears.

"Y...You..."

"I said it didn't I? You, should've died with your parents. Maybe you should go and do the world a favour and commit suicide to join them."

He is practically beaming at her, as if he really wants her to go and kill herself.

Makoto-chan put her hands to her face and cried hard heavy tears. She was breaking down, her body was shaking so violently. I could only hold her tightly, to try and calm her.

I want to punch this bastard, I want to murder this bastard for saying such awful things. Now, I truly understand why she was frightened of coming here. This, is how she was treated? As a child, she must've been constantly afraid and even fear from her uncle, who is supposed to look after his niece, must've been really frightening for her.

"...Goodbye..."

She sobbed out, then ran out of the room, sobbing wildly to herself.

I...I can't believe he actually said something like that. She's the best kind of person in the world...and he's saying all of these things to her? Everyone was angry. I don't even know who was the angriest by this point. All of us had murderous glares directed at this horrible excuse for a person.

But it was Dulio-san who stepped forward with the expression that meant he was going to kill at any second.

"Y...You are a horrible man."

Dulio-san said with straight eyes. The frail bastard turned to him and sneered.

"Like you know anything exorcist. Don't get involved with things you don't understand."

But even saying that, Dulio-san remained sharp eyed.

"I understand a lot about that girl, and you as well. You, think you can treat her like that? What you said then, is unforgivable. She is a teenage girl, not a monster like you. She's not done anything to deserve this. She lost her parents, and you make fun of her because of it? Its something you only do if you truly are a cold hearted soulless monster. You called her here under a false pretense. It wasn't to inform her of your vote on who should rule. It was to have one last verbal assault at her. I remember seeing it as a child. How you always abused her, hitting her, calling her vile, awful, unforgivable names. I feel so angry at you. That girl, is going to be a magnificent ruler, because unlike you, she has a heart. I hope you had fun hurting her, because I wont let anyone else hurt her like you just did. Now, I'm going to console the girl, something I'm sure you don't know anything about."

Dulio-san left the room calling out for Makoto-chan. Dulio-san...he truly cares for Makoto-chan. I would say that its love. Dulio-san is in love with Makoto-chan as well.

Vali turned heels and started walking away.

"Aren't you going to say anything? You are her hero after all."

Ise-kun asked/demanded from Vali. Vali simply bent his neck.

"If I said anything, I would end up losing it and killing him for what he just said. Even though I want to kill him, he's going to die within the next day anyway. Somehow, I feel like that's justice for her."

After that, he left the room, possibly to find Makoto-chan. I best go and do the same thing. Makoto-chan will need me...now more than ever.

"You truly are a bad man! Nee-chan is so much better than you are bad man! I love Nee-chan and it was cruel what you did to her!"

"Mitsu hopes you die quicker for putting Onee-sama through such awfulness!"

Millicas-sama and Mitsu-kun ran out of the room in tears. They must of felt so sad watching him say such...I can't even keep my cool anymore. I just want that man to die. It feels the exact same as Valper. I hate this man as much as I hated Valper and death just seems to easy for me.

"Tch, Makoto-chan went through such things. Rot in hell you bastard."

"Even I need to say it. You, are the worst kind of being."

Saji-kun left with Kaichou who is glaring at Makoto-chan's Oji-sama.

Then Ise-kun thrusted his fist at the bastard.

"Makoto-chan is amazing to deal with all the crap you've given her! Like Vali said, I can't stay here anymore. I feel like killing you myself. That poor girl, put up with people like you growing up. Its wrong, you doing that to her. You know, she watches out for me? Looking back, I feel regret that I didn't appreciate her warmth more than I did. But I will now. You, can go to hell where you belong."

"Like my Pawn said. That girl, truly is amazing to put up with you and your arrogant ways. Fucking die you bastard."

Ise-kun and Buchou walked out of the room. So it was only me and him left.

"Hahahaha! Got anything to say Devil-kun!? I feel like you are the one she loves the most!"

I walked close to the bed, and sharpened my eyes dangerously.

"You...I have no words to tell you anymore. Everyone else summed it up. You, are the worst kind of existence. She was only a little girl, and you made her feel so terrible. Even now, on your deathbed, you go out of your way to hurt her when she came back to become Queen of a race that discriminated against her."

"Hmph, she was a disgusting existence anyway. Do you think that all of the comments you young people made makes any difference towards my views on that girl? Do you think I will have a sudden change of heart and beg for forgiveness?"

Beg for forgiveness...

"No I don't." My tone got low, angry as tears dripped down my face. "I don't expect you to do something like that because you are truly evil. But if you think you've done lasting damage to her, then think again."

"Huh? What do you..."

"You think you've hurt her so much that she will give up?"

He narrowed his eyes at me. Yeah, that's what he thinks isn't it?

I adopted a frown of anger as the tears flowed down my face freely.

"Well, I've got news for you, she is stronger than you think. She is a survivor that keeps surviving. She's been through so much. All the abuse you and the others gave her. The death of her parents. Getting kidnapped by Fallen Angels. Getting sexually assaulted by a bastard named Freed who is like you on two separate occasions and targeted constantly by him. Being targeted by Kokabiel as well. Having to witness all of these horrible events, she is still here, with me. You, can't hurt her anymore. I will make sure that she has the best life now, with me. She will want for nothing with me. She wont ever have to cry again with me. She promised me that I will have the best life with her, well the reverse is also true. She, will have the best life with me. Now if you'll excuse me, I can't stand being in your presence anymore."

I turned and walked towards the door.

Makoto-chan will need me now. I will go and comfort her.

I walked forward in a steady pace...

"Y-You'll never last!"

I stopped in my tracks at his shout.

I turned and looked at him.

"What do you mean?"

I asked it with suspicion, but he simply sneered.

"You, and her. It wont last. Even if I hate it, she could become the Queen of this race. You, are a mere reincarnated Devil. Something like you and her, can't be together. Its like a commoner being the lover of an almighty ruler. She is simply someone who is unreachable to you, filth. It will be looked down upon, it will be something-"

"Haha, always trying to hurt her aren't you?" I cut him off, smirking dangerously. "Even through me huh. Your words, don't affect me because one day, I will make her my wife. It doesn't matter if she's the Queen and I'm just a reincarnated Devil. I love her, and I want to be with her forever. So that's why I'm going to marry her one day."

After saying that, I turned around and walked towards the door.

"IT WONT LAST! SHE WILL LEAVE YOU FILTH! SHE CANT LOVE YOU DISGUSTING CREATURE! SHE WILL LEAVE YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!"

He was shouting at me not being able to be with her, but I didn't listen. He's caused enough problems for my puppy. Now its time to go and find Makoto-chan.


Makoto P.O.V

I had ran away. I ran and ran until I got to my room.

My head was full of anger. Anger and pain.

How dare he say that about Kaa-chan and Tou-chan...

It doesn't matter now. Kaa-chan and Tou-chan are watching over me, I can feel it. I know that they watch over me. I pray that they watch over me extra special this time. I know they guided me to Yuuto-kun and guided Vali-kun to me that time. So, I hope they continue to be my guide.

Even though it was stupid, tears flowed from my eyes. They flowed and they didn't stop as I entered my bedroom.

I didn't care if anyone saw me crying by this point. I was too upset and angry at one he said.

I walked over to my bed, and collapsed on it. I was too tired now. My heart was feeling like someone had stomped on it.

I'd be better off dead. That's what he said. I would've said "Yeah, you are right." in the past, but now its different. I have people I love. All of the people I have grown to care and love.

My only regret was that he reduced me to tears. I knew he would say and do something like that. But I'm done with being the weak girl. I can be strong now, can't I?

That's what I want anyway. I want to show that I am powerful, and I will be a good leader, no matter what anyone says. I can be a good leader...I know it. I just know that I can be a good leader...

Open!

My door was opened. I thought that it might be Yuuto-kun or Vali-kun but...my guess was completely wrong.

"Hello, dear sister."

...It was him, my elder brother. He entered the room and closed the door lazily.

I sat up on the bed, my fear becoming more and more apparent. My heart was going crazy in my chest. My palms sweat nervously. My fingers wrapped around each other, trying to calm myself.

But I couldn't as he approached me, having that sickly sweet smile on his face.

"Makoto, what's wrong? Have you been crying? How naughty of you."

His voice sounded like it was from a villain. He came close to me, and stood tall beside me.

"...W-What do you...w-want...?"

"My, how rude. I came to see you, to see if you wanted Onii-sama to 'comfort' you like usual."

My body shook when he said that. I stood up and tried to walk towards the door, but he got in the way, smirking like a demon at me.

"P-Please move."

"Ara, you think that I will move? Even if you add please, it doesn't mean I will bend to your will. Its going to be the other way around like always. But you've grown to be very beautiful haven't you? Look at your oppai, such a good size."

He reached out to grab my breasts, but I moved away from him.

"D-Don't...please don't..."

My desperate plea was unnoticed by him, as he moved forward and reached out his hands.

Push!

He pushed me onto the bed, and stood in front of me! His eyes, were brimming with annoyance, but he had that sickly sweet smile on his face.

"I was disheartened, after Otou-sama died. You, left without saying a word, and you even sealed off your own powers huh. Was that so you could live without me? Fufu, such a silly girl. You know that you could never hide well from me. But to my surprise, you came back here. Did you miss Onii-sama so much?"

My eyes leaked tears. My body was paralyzed, unable to move even for an instant. I don't want...

"...Please don't hurt me..."

He reached down, and stroked my face. From that, I started to sob to myself.

"Mou, I wouldn't hurt you dear sister. But you hurt me, and it now needs to stop. You, need to become reacquainted with me again."

"I-I'll scream."

I threatened, my chest getting tighter, my eyes leaking so many tears that my face must look like I've just drowned. But even that didn't deter him at all.

"Please do. I love it when you try and resist me. But this time, Otou-sama and your own Okaa-san wont get involved. Lets see what I can do to you this time."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMM!"

As I was screaming, he covered my mouth and growled at me.

"Big mistake."

His eyes turned blood red, as if he was angry at me. Tou-chan...Kaa-chan...Vali-kun...Dulio-Nii-chan...Ise-kun...Genshirou-kun...Millicas-kun...Mitsu-kun...Fujimura-kun...Michael-kun...Sirzechs-kun...Ajuka-kun...Yuuto-kun...help me...please...


End chapter! And on a cliffhanger as well! But wow, Makoto has been cornered by her Onii-sama. Her Oji-sama verbally assaulted her. And what did Shirou find out? All questions, will be answered soon! Well, until next time!
