The tension was thick just outside the love hotel. I was standing directly in front of the one man I couldn't hate more. Akeno's farther, the very thought of him and what he put Akeno through makes me want to rip him apart.

"You have one chance demon, step away from my daughter or I will kill you" the men yelled as I found myself laughing hollowly. "Unlike you, I stay with the ones I love" I snarled in reply as I watched the man summon up a golden light spear.

Ten jet black wings sprouted from his back as he pointed his light spear at me. In response I unfolded my own wings, watching as the man looked surprised. "I know those wings" he muttered. I didn't speak as my legs tensed.

I was about to shot off when another voice spoke up. "

Baraqiel, what are you doing now, I thought you were hired as my guard" a old familiar voice spoke up. All three of us turned to see the Old Norse god Odin standing there, not far behind him was the lovely visage of Rossweisse walking up to us.

"Oh, Harbinger what are you and the cute devil girl doing here?" Odin asked as I cocked my masked head to the side. Can he not read the tension in the room? Baraqiel was having a rather comical reaction when he heard the title Odin used for me.

"Har-Harbinger, as in one of the lords of the demon council" he stuttered, I kind of like how everyone knows of me. "Why yes, didn't you know?" Odin asked as the older man shook his head. "You two still haven't answer our questions, what are two highschool kids doing outside a love hotel" Rossweisse asked.

"Ugh..." I got nothing. I ended up shrugging as Akeno still looked rather pissed as her father talked with Odin, he kept glancing as me for some reason. "You both are too young for this kind of thing" she said as I looked away with a blush.

Odin walked up behind the silver haired girl and grinned at us. "Oh let the young ones have their fun, it not like you know what it's like" he chuckled as Rossweisse looked down sadly. My head snapped in the old man's direction as I snarled slightly.

"The old man doesn't learn does he?" Demon questioned as I nodded in agreement. "But enough of that, I was actually here to visit the red haired devil and Azazel" Odin said and started walking away. Baraqiel stood for a second before following the Norse god.

"You shouldn't listen to him" I spoke up just before Rossweisse could leave. She looked at me in confusion as I sighed. "Remember at the meeting, Odin doesn't know what he is talking about so don't listen to him" I explained and for some reason the older women grew a blush across her face.

"Does that mean your invitation is still open?" she asked, what going on? "Huh?" I replied as Akeno peered over my shoulder, why do I feel like I'm about to die? "You asked me on a date, is it still open?" she asked, oh shit!

"Ugh...that's..." I didn't get to finish as Akeno wrapped her arm around my neck and pressed herself against my back. "Yes he can" she said smiling as Rossweisse looked happy. I turned back to see her already releasing me and walking away.

"Hay...Akeno?" I questioned after her as she stopped. "I'm not in the mood Glenn" she muttered as she walked away. Oh primus what have I done! I stood their frozen as I watched Akeno walk away. I fuck up, didn't I?

"More than you know king" Demon muttered sagely as Albion nodded his spiked covered head in agreement. Behind me Rossweisse was looking down in thought before a frown marred her face. "You two were on a date weren't you?" she asked as I nodded absently.

"Then, I'm sorry, it seems I have angered your girlfriend" she said bowing as I turned to her. "Please don't bow, and don't worry it's my fault really, everything will be sorted out soon" I explained as the silvered haired women nodded.

"Then I will wait for our date" she said as she walked off smiling as I smashed my gauntlet clad hand into my face. I didn't even care for the pain, I dissevered it.

Arriving back at home was not the best thing to do. Odin and his guard were in the living room talking with Azazel and Rias as Sean sat beside Koneko. When did he get up? "Ah Glenn your home" Rias said, she wasn't smiling like normal.

"Akeno is making some tea" she explained nodding her head in the direction of the kitchen. I nodded in return as I started walking; I'm not letting this go just yet. I turned the corner for the kitchen to see Akeno standing in front of the kettle as she prepared the cups.

"Akeno?" I questioned as I stepped forward. She didn't say anything as she continued to work over the tea. "Akeno, can we just talk?" I asked stopping just short of the girl. She didn't turn to me as she spoke.

"Do you know how it feels?" she asked as I raised an eyebrow at her question. "To have the one you love constantly show affection towards other girls while I have to watch" she stated turning towards me. I saw the tears in her eyes as my heart broke.

"I thought I could take it, but just watching you arrange a date during our own hurts" she said as I saw the tears falling down her face. "Akeno, I don't know what to say" I muttered, I'm not good with this stuff.

"I know, that's what makes it worse, you said you loved me and the one chance we have together gets ruined because of someone else, I don't know if I could take it anymore" she muttered. I didn't know what to do as I moved forward and wrapped my arms around.

It finally dawned on me how long she had been holding these feelings as she cried openly into my chest. I softly rubbed her back as I tried to calm her down, only succeeding slightly as she hiccupped every so often.

"Akeno, I don't know what to do, I do love you, you will always be the most important person to me" I whispered to her. "But all of this just happens and I can't control it, every one of you girls are special to me and I can't bear to see any of you like this" I added.

"But for now, I just want you to stop crying, I want you to smile that sweet smile, the smile that I fear because I get shocked after words" I said. "I sorry for everything, I will try harder so we can get some real time alone" I whispered as I felt her back away from my embrace.

She looked up at me and smiled lightly, one of the first few true smiles I had ever seen. "I guess I can't keep you all to myself" she muttered as she smiled up at me. "Just keep a place open for me more often" she added her voice pleading as I smiled softly at her.

"Do you really need to ask" I muttered as she looked up at me. Before she could question my words I kissed her much to her shock. She responded easily as she took control of the kiss, twisting us around so I was trapped between her and the counter.

What can I say, aggressive women. Why do I get the image of a black haired girl wielding a Winchester and single shot pistol when I think of that? EPIC FORSHADOWING!

We returned to the living room a few minutes later, I was looking slightly scruffy as Akeno looked both pleased and elegant, how can anyone pull that off? Rias looked at us in confusion as Baraqiel frowned as we sat down beside each other.

"So what's going on here?" I asked as Sean cleared his throat. "Odin here is going on a trip for the alliance, we are going with him, but first we need to take care of two Khoas brigade members that appeared not long ago" he stated.

"Who's going?" I asked as the black haired Canadian smiled slightly. "Me, you, Kiba, and Casper" he stated as the other two boys popped up from behind the couch. "Alright, but why only us?" I asked as Sean threw his thumb in the direction of Azazel.

"He wanted to test some power changes and energy levels since I went nuts" he explained as I saw Sean frown at the memory. "Let's go" he spoke as I found myself and Kia sighing in unison. "Think we will ever get Sean back to normal" Kiba asked.

I couldn't help the smile that crossed my face as I remembered Sean and Rei's reaction to each other. "It'll take some time, but yea he'll be back to normal" I muttered in reply as Kiba looked confused.

Taking the red Gremory circle, we arrived outside one of the forest that surprising surrounded the city. This place has everything, all you need is an amusement park, and a water park and I would never leave.

Stepping out of the circle, the four of us each summoned our weapon, while Casper exploded in a flurry of bats. Show off. My mask formed as we stepped forward, watching each and every corner. "What do we know about these guys?" I asked.

"From what Azazel told us, Khoas has been sending out sacred gear users some even have balance breaker" Sean explained as he kept his buster sword in both his hands as he walked forward. Kiba followed him as his sword of the betrayer glowed with the red markings that I have no idea what they mean.

"I spotted them" Casper's voice spoke up into our ears. I still don't remember adding a speaker system to my mask. "Where are they?" Sean asked as he lowered his blade to his side. "Just across the tree line, there are two of them" he explained as Kiba and Sean nodded to me.

"Let's Casper if you see them try anything, freeze them" Sean ordered as the shy vampire made a noise in agreement. The three of us walked past the tree line, almost instantly spotting the two cloaked figure at the other side of the clearing.

"Ah you must be servants of the Gremory house" one of them muttered as his arm exploded with red flames. "And what if we are?" Sean challenged as he summoned his boosted gear. I summoned my own as we all took defensive sword stances in front of these two.

"Then it's time to die!" the second one stated as I watched three shadows rush away from him. Kiba disappeared as me and Sean jumped in opposite direction, dodging the shadows. The flame user lunged forward as Sean landed near him.

His gauntlet ignited with blood red flames as the flame users arm punched the flaming metal. Red flames battled each other as Sean pulled his buster sword back. The flaming guy noticed as his other arm ignited as well, coming up to block the swing.

Sean couldn't repress the smirk as his blade made contract. He saw the force of his hit physically shake the cloaked flame user as he threw his left foot up. The foot smashed into the flame user's chest as Sean flipped his buster sword into a reverse grip.

"That all you got?" Sean asked as his flaming gauntlet rose up. "Not even close!" the fire user roared in return. "Then let's kick this up a notch!" Sean yelled slamming his gauntlet into the butt of his buster sword. Don't steal my lines damn it.

"RELEASE: GRIMMCUTTER!" Sean roared as he was enveloped in blood red flames. The flame user smirked as he brought his flaming arms together. "BALANCE BREAKER!" he yelled as the flames turned dark blue and coated his legs as well.

Sean exploded out of his blaze, revving his blade up as he descended towards the fire user.

Across the field I was dodging, dipping, diving, ducking, and dodging constant shadow sticks. Wait did I say dodge twice? "Not the time Glenn!" Kiba yelled at me. Oh we never have fun anymore! I jumped, rolling away from the attacking shadow as I crouched.

My cleaver stabbed into the ground as I pushed ice magic through the blade. "ICE BREAKER!" I roared as the fissure opened up. The array of ice spikes erupted from the ground as I saw the shadow user smirking under his hood.

I didn't see it quickly enough as the ice spike stabbed forward, going through the shadows on the mans cloak. A second later I felt pain running up my left arm as I dived away. I turned, seeing my own ice spike sticking out of a shadow beside where I was. That's just not fair.

"Okay, now I'm mad" I said pointing my cleaver towards him as my armoured hand grabbed my forearm. "RELEASE: DEMON'S BANE!" I roared as I was enveloped in a bright icy mist. The mist twisted and formed the shape of a bipedal dragon before shattering to revile the phantom demon standing over me.

"My turn" I muttered grinning insanely as I felt my mask shatter as the left shard stayed where it was. Kiba appeared by my side as he created a second holy-demonic sword. "I have an idea, keep him busy till I tell you to run" Kiba whispered as he disappeared again.

I didn't reply as my claver spiked as I charged forward, sidestepping a shadow strike as I leaped into the air. My cleaver came down with a crushing force as the shadow user dived into his own shadows to escape.

He appeared not far away panting heavily and scowling at me. I grinned as my wings unfolded from my back. "Come on, that's all you got" I taunted as he threw his hands up. Two shadows shot forward as I jumped, flapping my wings as I dodged the shadows.

"FROZEN WAVE!" I roared as I swung my spiked cleaver down at the shadow user. He just let the attack hit as it sunk into his shadows, firing out another one and right back at me. I didn't have to worry as I swung my blade back up, cutting through my own attack as I grinned down at him.

He didn't see it until he was too late to react as Kiba appeared stabbing his second blade through his chest. Like my own attack the blade sunk into the shadow as Kiba jumped back grinning from ear to ear. The shadow user looked at him oddly until he saw the bit of the sword that was sticking out of his chest glowing.

"Unbalanced holy-demonic sword, makes for a great firework" Kiba said grinning as the sword exploded, throwing the shadow user away towards the fire user. Sean ducked as a blue fire whip past over his head.

His revved up blade came up as he blocked the blue fire sword swinging down on him. The two fire blades exploded against each other as the fire user was thrown back. "Your balance breaker isn't that impressive" Sean stated as the fire user saw his partner crash beside him.

"They told us the red and white dragons were strong, I never expected this though" the fire user muttered as he turned to the injured shadow user. "We got what we needed, let's get out before we die" he stated.

The shadow user enveloped both of them in shadows as they sunk into the ground. Sean didn't let it slide as he revved his blade up again. "ROAR REAPER!" he roared as he swung his blade down.

The flaming arc exploded against the ground, carving a flaming trench into the forest as it did.

"I think they got away" I muttered as Sean sighed, letting his sword revert back to normal as he made it vanish. "Yea, come on, we have to get back to Odin before this is over" Sean stated as he, Casper, and Kiba started heading home.

I stood there for a second, looking around the clearing as I defiantly felt I was being watched. It's happened enough times and I'm sure it's happening right now. "You're just crazy King, now home we have a queen to make up too" Demon stated as I found myself agreeing with the pervert.

What I didn't know was that I was being watched as a perfect ruby colour eye and a glowing gold clock face blinked out of existence. EPIC FORESHADOWING!

In arrived home minutes after everyone else, I was quiet content with everything until I heard the arguing. "Leave me alone!" Akeno's voice yelled from the kitchen, oh what now? "NO, I forbid you to see this creature!" the voice of Baraqiel boomed from the same lace, oh damn it.

"Creature, well it's better than filth" Demon mused, so not helping right now. "Who said I was here to help, I came to mock" Demon chuckled, I hate you. "I don't care what you think!" Akeno yelled in return, this is going to get nasty soon.

"You will not see him, I've heard enough about this creature in the underworld to know what he is like" Baraqiel stated, what do people talk about me now. "I will not have my daughter forced into servitude to this beast, he already enslaved two angels and a fallen" Baraqiel stated.

That's what people talk about! What the hell, when did my love life get so important. "I don't care, they are rumours, don't talk to me" Akeno yelled as I heard footsteps heading towards the kitchen door, which I was standing right beside.

Akeno turned the corner and stopped as she came face to face with me. "You ok?" I asked quietly as the beauty let a sigh escape her lips. "I need some time to cool off" she muttered walking past me and towards the staircase.

I looked down sadly as I couldn't do anything to help. Another set of footsteps gained my attention as I looked up. My eyes glowed as I saw the bastard standing right in front of me. The high ranked fallen actually flinched under my gaze, which is new.

"If you continue to hurt her, I will kill you" I warned him as I saw the sweat running down his forehead. Am I actually that scary? "When you are as strong as people have heard and have glowing ice blue eyes, yes" Albion stated as I shook my head.

I pushed past the frozen fallen and made my way towards the living room, where Kiba and Sean were seated. "Ah Harbinger, what took you so long?" Azazel asked from his spot on the couch. "Nothing, just had a really weird feeling of being watched" I replied.

"Getting staked again?" Sean questioned as I face faulted. "No one stakes me!" I yelled. Sean just pointed behind me to see Raynare standing there. "She staked you" he pointed out, primus damn it, will no one let me win.

"Now on to the important issue, what did you find strange about the two sacred gear users" Azazel asked as Sean and I shrugged in unison. "They were really weak" Sean stated. "One of them had balance breaker, it didn't do him any good but why would they send someone like that out in the field?" I questioned.

"To watch us" Kiba spoke up. Me and Sean looked at him as he cleared his throat. "They need to observe us, our group is one of the strongest and strangest out there, the two heavenly dragons with balance breaker, two vampires, holy sword users, this to name a few" he explained.

"They want to gauge our strength and weaknesses, find a way to beat us" Sean stated as my eyes widened. "They need data on us, and sending out there strongest and any balance breaker user could give them an edge" he added.

"Exactly, and with news of both your dives circulating around the underworld, they will try to push both of you to that state again" Azazel said sadly. They're trying to push us to use the dives again. "But Sean can't control his" I mumbled.

"Yes, but you can, and if one dragon can why can't the other, they will try anything to win against us and cause another war" Azazel explained. "That's why we are occupying Odin for this meeting with the Norse side" Azazel said.

"We need every little help, and the Norse magic is one of the strongest" he added. "Alright, we leave with him tomorrow right" Sean asked as the leader of the fallen nodded. "Yes, now I need to speak with you Glenn" Azazel said seriously, that's the first time he used my name in like ever.

The other two walked off, Sean seemingly finding Koneko attached to his back as Kiba went to get some cereal, it's what two in the morning why the hell would you want cereal now! Azazel stared at me as I stared back, is he going to say anything.

"As you know Baraqiel is trying to get to know his daughter again" Azazel spoke up, why this? "But Akeno refuses to let him in, she is part Fallen and as such I feel a little responsible for her" Azazel stated. Where is he going with this?

"I can't help her, there are only a few that she has ever shown her true self too, not the sadistic devil but the emotionally broken young girl" Azazel explained as I narrowed my eyes. "From what I have seen, she has only let you in Glenn, she has only ever shown her real self to you" he added.

"That's why I ask, can I trust her with you" he asked as I stared at him. "I need you to do this Glenn, you are the only one who can" he added as my eyes continued to stay wide in shock at what I heard. "I...of course, Nothing is more important to me than Akeno" I said quietly.

"Good, she needs someone now more than ever, we leave in the morning have a good night" Azazel said as he left me to my thoughts. "I'm so confused" I sighed flopping back into the couch as I closed my eyes, this day sucks!
