Hello to all my dark dwellers...DarkLordShadow here once again to give you all a healthy dose of some DxD that we're all wanting. Thank you to all who have started liking this story and wanting to see more of this. I also want to answer a question that someone left for a review in how they said "I would love to see how you'll answer the question with Ddraig." And to answer that, plus everyone who may have that, is that originally the creator wanted to make a loop hole in the way the dragon sacred gears functioned. In that he wanted to give them the choice to let go of them out of their own free will. Also that the magic he has about blood magic can manifest itself into whatever the weilder needs, primarily weapons and armor. And that's why his skill is mostly usable So now I would like to take that and give it to my character after Issei gave it up after his time at school was over. So now that we've gotten that out of the way let's see where our blood knight is. After an attack on the house of Samael's celebration at the rating games Ryu has started being affected by 'something'. A group of cultists have attacked and now a new bearer of D-draig has been revealed. Time to get this chapter underway... Chapter 2 - Blood Revelation.
Smoke and debris filled the ballroom at the gremory estate, bodies everywhere of those who have passed out from blood loss or unconscious. The attackers stood ready and trembling at the site of something, 'someone', who seemed determined to take on them in a fight. The knight of the house of Samael, the wielder of the legendary blood magic, and now...fastened to his right hand...the sacred gear known as: D-draig.
The attackers started to shake in their boots as Ryu walked slowly towards them, his eyes starting to glow red and the gem in his 'new' gauntlet started to glow bright green. The two he's staring down began to shift and sway looking for a way of getting away, or finding an opening. But, Ryu isn't having it and then began to give a sickening grin.
"You guys are scared aren't you," Ryu would say pointing at them.
The two would grunt as a sign of 'what' and look at each other, not realizing that Ryu vanished from in front of them. They started to look around in a panic almost referencing the skills Ryu displayed in the rating game earlier. This gave him the opportunity to surprise the two of them from behind sending one flying through the air and landing next to a smashed table causing him to get up franticly. This gives Ryu the opportunity to jump the other in a surprise attack forcing them to stand off.
"Wh-Who do you think you are," the attacker stares at Ryu drawing his weapon "What makes you so 'special' in thinking you can take on-"
Before he could finish he seems to have trouble with getting the threat out without noticing that Ryu's blood blade went through his chest. Causing him to start choking on his own blood.
"Sorry didn't catch that," Ryu would say in such a cocky tone "But you don't seem all that tough-"
And before Ryu could finish his own sentence without being thrown into a wall causing a huge crumble around the hole he created.
"Th-Thank you...boss," the attacker said to the leader of this group walking in with two more guards at his side. The wounded attacker started to crawl towards his leader [the leader of these attackers is wearing a similar black armor as the rest, but his helmet is outlined with red and gold lining to symbolize his authority, his cloak is blood red resembling a Sith lords cloak, and a sword that seems to resemble the sword from a fantasy book] and grabbed his boot begging for his help.
"Pl-Please...help me," he would say holding the wound but blood is still spilling out of him "H-Help me and I promise I won't -"
Without hesitation the wounded soldier found his own leader's sword impaled through his chest. "Wh-Why?!"
"You have failed me... and everyone knows what happens to those who failed me," the leader would lean down to whisper to him "And now you have to suffer the penalty."
"But, I can still-" The soldier was about to finish his leader severed his head in one felse swoop.
The head of the now deceased soldier rolled across the floor and landed near where Koneko and Rias are laying. Koneko came to and jumped at the site of the head and without her noticing that she caught the attention of the leader of the attackers. She scurries backward, knowing that while she was out cold her side was cut up from the explosion, this left a blood trail from where she was right to her. The leader drew closer, scraping his sword on the ground, and he stares at her with such a cold gaze that Koneko feels a chill crawl up her spine.
"Well, well...what do we have here?" The leader would say looking at Koneko in such a tattered state "We have a 'little' scared kitty."
"You... what are you all doing here?" Koneko would snap back at him "Why are you doing this, who are you-"
Koneko couldn't get a chance to finish because the leader has her in a choke with the blade of his sword up to her throat. This happened so quickly that the sword nicked her neck a bit causing a drop of blood to trickle down her neck.
"You don't need to know who I am," the leader said caressing her face so seductively "And you need not know why we're here."
Koneko tries to move, and squirm away, but he threatens her again by forcing the blade up further causing her to stop dead in her tracks.
"Now, now... no need to rush," he threatens her as his hand moves down her body towards her chest "Just accept this-"
"BOOST!" A bright green light emerged from the hole Ryu was knocked into a while ago and now is seen walking through the debris. Ryu looks up to see Koneko being assaulted and now used this new burst of power to rush over to Koneko. Activating his blood magic to make a new blade in his arm from the one he lost during his wall crash ended up locked up with the mysterious leader regaining his balance.
"Well, now you're indeed a real warrior," The leader seemed almost impressed "It's been a while hasn't it 'my friend'."
Ryu would look in confusion as the two stared down each other with their two blades scraping up against each other. A big battle is about to unfold.

Ryu and the mysterious leader of the attackers are locked into an epic sword match. The two were locked up against each other with their blades while Ryu was getting pushed back.
"What's going on? I thought that boost in power would give me the edge," Ryu would think to himself as he's being pushed down holding his enemy back.
"A burst of power is only good for a x10 power up," D-draig would explain to him subconsciously "But be warned...if you exceed this power it'll have serious consequences."
"Trust me I can take it," Ryu would state by giving his attacker a stern look.
This nearly caused the attacker to be surprised after being pushed back by a burst of energy. The attacker performed a back flip to land back with his guards who have drawn their swords as well. The leader extended his hand to tell the guards to not interfere as he stares down this massive amount of energy bursted from where he dueling Ryu. While Ryu stepped towards him having channeled his magic to forge some new blood blades to his arms. Even though as he walks, drops of blood from his leg injury during the explosion. This causes him to wonder a little bit before taking a full powered kick to the stomach sending him flying towards the wall. Before he could make contact, Koneko flew out of nowhere to catch him before any more damage could be fall on him.
A massive thud knocked the wind out of both of them and fell to the ground. In the aftermath Ryu gets up to see Koneko fading in-and-out of consciousness with a stream of blood coming down her face seeing him.
"Why did you do that?" Ryu would ask her while he crawled over to her to comfort her.
"Consider this a returned favor," Koneko would say so weakly "But I... just saw something in you."
She would reach out with her hand and lay it on the side of his face gently. They shared an intimate moment and then she gave him a flick on the forehand.
"Wow... really," Ryu would say with a stone look at her.
"Well... you were daydreaming in the middle of your big fight," Koneko would retort in a more seductive manner.
Ryu would actually show to be blushing before standing up and facing off against the attackers. The leader basically walked towards him, stalking his prey, scraping his blade on the ground, just biding his time for his opponent to face him again. Ryu would start off slow and then began rushing towards the mysterious stranger. Their blades clashing, and sparks flying, with the two showing no signs of slowing down. After what felt like hours the two stared each other down. But Ryu looked worse for wares. Ryu has been losing energy faster than his gear provides that x10 increase. His blades are starting to crack, and his leg wound is starting to cause him to drift in-and-out of consciousness.
"I must admit this is very unimpressive," The leader would say mocking Ryu "I would've expected better from you 'old friend'.
"Wh-WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Ryu would say in shock "What do you mean-"
The mysterious fighter would cut him off by literal cut to his side spraying blood from his wound down to the floor causing Ryu to go down to his knee. The leader would shove him down with a kick causing him to go down. All he's facing now is his attackers sword.
While this was going on, Koneko managed to stop the bleeding by ripping off a bit more of her dress to bandage her head. She makes her way to the fight between the two of them. She hides herself behind a piece of rubble, but notices that Ryu is nearing defeat. She channels all the magic she left and goes into her shirone neko form. This was her chance even though it's not going too much and charges over to get Ryu a chance. This just causes the attacker to dodge while getting a chance to grab Koneko by the tail and slam her in the ground. This causes her to release her neko form and cough up blood.
"Well it seemed this little kitty had some fight after all," The leader would say snickering under his breath.
"I-I'll kill you for what you've done here," Ryu would say threatening to the swordsman causing him to get a drop of blood to the side of his mouth.
"Then you need to get stronger then," The swordsman would exclaim sheathing his weapon "I'll be waiting to see what you're really capable of...Ryu."
"How is it you know me? TELL ME!" Ryu would yell at him for dragging his name down like he was nothing.
"That's for you to find out... isn't it," The leader would say to him leaving them.
He would gesture to his remaining troops to evacuate, their goal has been made. They've made their presence known. As they leave Ryu finally lost all of his strength and collapses. Without noticing that Koneko moved her hand towards his and is grasping it. With that he is keeping his eyes fixed on the attacking group leaving while he passes out from blood loss and his magic drained.
"You seem to be quite capable even though you push yourself to the utmost limits," Draig would tell Ryu while having a conversation in his subconscious. Ryu was shocked to see a massive, red scale dragon surrounded by flames with green glowing eyes.
"Though it didn't really feel like it was good enough," Ryu would say back to him.
"All in do time... not every single dragon was able to unlock the power of what lies inside
of them," Draig would explain trying to put Ryu's mind at ease.
"If you're trying to make me feel better about myself," Ryu would reiterate "It's actually
working."
"Though I must admit," Draig would explain sarcastically "It was rare to see the 'little hellcat' make someone like you embarrassed. Not since Issei did I enjoy such a laugh."
"Okay laugh it up scaly," Ryu would state so unamused "It's not like I was expecting anything from her on that."
"Well... I feel that you're regaining consciousness," Draig would point out the obvious as his physical form in front of Ryu starting to disappear "I'm sure you and I will go on to do great things 'partner'."
Ryu was feeling warm when he came to, something warm was pressed up against him. He moved up from the bed he was resting in and noticed that bandages covered his chest and both of his arms. What he didn't expect was a second lump underneath the covers lying next to him.
As he reached out to pull it off he was stopped by the doors opening to reveal Rias and
Yakeno entering the room. Rias had her arm in a sling while as Yakeno was in a crutch and had to have some assistance from the wound she obtained from the explosion. Ryu would notice that if Yakeno is over there looking at him then who was it that was next to him in bed.
"Well it seems that you're finally awake," Rias would state with a smirk.
"So it would seem," Ryu would retort as he shifts and groans from his sides being in pain.
"But I guess you found someone to 'finally' get you in bed," Yakeno would tease him as she would say as she removes the covers from Ryu.
"HEY... DAMMIT YAKENO YOU CAN'T JUST-" Before he could finish he would give a wide eyed look at what he saw next to him.
Draped with an arm around his chest was the small little cat girl Koneko all bandaged up from the attack holding onto him. This caused him to sternly look back and see that Rias and Yakeno are looking at him with a smug look.
"I see so this is how you are huh?" Yakeno would say teasing him to no end.
"I never thought Koneko would warm up to anyone besides Issei when we were in school," Rias would add to that flirtatious tone.
This gives Ryu the embarrassed look that when he looks down he notices that Koneko's attire was more less than none. She had her bandages only covering her shoulder, her forehead and her forearm. Which means that her chest was exposed and pressing up against his bandaged side. Ryu is blushing with no end and notices that Koneko is coming to.
" Oh... dammit, " Ryu would if he heard the stories about her she's not going to be pleasant when she wakes up to see they're both half naked and touching each other. The first thing that came to mind is the fact of getting a full on sock to the face knowing her track record.
Koneko would wake up rubbing her eyes and looking up at Ryu, "Why is there so much ruckus going on?"
"My, my Koneko I never thought you'd be interested in my pupil," Yakeno would sound defeated but playing with Koneko's emotions.
"What do you mean," Koneko would look at her with her trademark stone face look but adding in a head tilt.
"Koneko why not look at where you are right now," Rias would tell her as if she was giving her a talk.
Koneko would look and noticed that she's in a medical bed, half naked and is up against Ryu. She looks down and back up at him and she's now blushing. Yet to everyone's surprise, especially Ryu, she's not mad nor is she getting ready to punch his lights out but she actually hugs him. This shocks everyone even more that the confusion did for the most part.
"Umm...what's happening," Ryu would look back at the two for a sign of help.
"I'm glad to see you're not hurt too badly," Koneko would say as she would hug him much to his surprise, "I thought for sure you were hurt really badly so... I used my Senjutsu healing on you."
"Oh... well thank you," Ryu would say looking thankful but is trying to not notice that Koneko's chest is pressed up on him from the hug.
"Well, now we know that 'this' is happening it's time to tell you why we're here," Rias would say to bring some order to the situation, "We managed to interrogate one of those you threw into the wall."
"What did he say?" Ryu would say getting some room from Koneko.
"They appear to be some cult and he says that they're after something known as the 'the seven sins'," Yakeno would explain to them "Unfortunately I can't accompany you."
"W-What do you mean Yakeno," Ryu would state in shock trying to get out of the medical bed without stumbling.
"I'm far too injured to join you and there's something you must do," Yakeno would look at him in such a defeated state.
"We'll need you to do something that isn't very easy to ask," Rias would say as she stands in front of Ryu "We need you to switch houses Ryu."
Ryu would look at them all in confusion and worry trying to understand the real meaning of what Rias was asking him, "I don't really understand."
"It means you're joining us numbskull," Koneko would state so bluntly by going in front of him putting on her clothes.
"This is something you must do Ryu," Yakeno would state "We are facing an enemy of unknown proportions... you are the new bearer of the sacred boosted gear, and you should do what you are NOW called to do."
Ryu would look at his right hand trying to envision the gauntlet but snapped out of it when Koneko touched his hand bringing him back to his senses. This caused the two to lock eyes and then cause a chuckle from Ryu un-intentionally.
"Well... I guess I'm going back to school," Ryu would state, causing Koneko to blush and smile back at him.

Whew wow that was a challenge. Trying to do this while writing a short film for school is not recommended haha. But there we go... one new chapter for our now destined Blood Dragon. This was a long time coming going through different ideas in where to take the story, the understanding of Draig and Ryu, the relationship between the mystery fighter and his past, and is there something brewing between Ryu and Koneko? Well we will have to wait and see in the next chapter. Thank you so much everyone for liking this story and keep up the hype for the future of where this story is going to take us. I'll probably be taking a break to focus more on school but I'll come back to drag everyone out of their dark dwells for future stories. Next time - Back in School (?).
