Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Alluring Angel. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own DxD, Ichiei Ishibumi and a few others do.
"It still bothers me that they went underground. I have NO idea what their busy doing at the moment, but if it involves the blades? It can't be good for anyone on the planet." Corvus stated, rubbing at his chin.
"Yes, and yet there's been no signs of the Fallen Angels building up their forces. I'm surprised they'd chose to go to war." Rias watched Corvus tilt his head in the same sweet gesture he used to do all the time.
it made Rias both hate and adore the hybrid in equal measure. She sighed and looked off to the side before continuing her briefing.
It made it even worse that Akeno would always bring up how Rias couldn't go 2 minutes without fretting over Corvus… like if he was one of her peerage.
"So, should I also bring up the fact that we haven't heard from Kiba yet? I don't know where he could have gone, but if I'm right? he's going after the swords alone." Corvus put in, causing Rias to grit her teeth in annoyance.
Not only did her most valuable member and ally run off to get one of the swords… WITHOUT ASKING HER. she now had to deal with the fact that Kiba was gone, causing her to have to divert manpower from defending the school/her base.
It also allowed the enemy to regroup, Rias wanted to launch a first strike. Something that would drive the enemy into a position to where they could be easily defeated.
While she was happy that they had secured one of the swords, the other 7 being held by the enemy? It made her question just why they would just hand over one of the weapons that could easily change the balance of power in the world.
It also scared her to think that Kiba could be made into a rouge devil. She had helped Kiba become who he was currently, to see him become a monster that her peerage would have to put down?
It would break her more then anything. She needed to take control of the situation and then make sure that things didn't go more lopsided.
"Well, the best thing we can do now is prevent the enemy from attacking here. corvus? I want you and Sol to go and talk to my brother so they can track down Kiba." Rias ordered before Corvus raised an eyebrow at this idea.
"I can't send Akeno and Asia is busy with Koneko securing the school for when the Fallen Angels come back. I can't trust Xenovia to go because…" Corvus watch as Rias shook her fist, clenching her fingers in anger at this.
Corvus was beginning to realize that Xenovia despite being their ally, was ALWAYS going to be the enemy of Rias.
It annoyed him just how stubborn Xenovia was going to be. She would have to be watched to make sure she didn't pull something that jeopardized the school.
"I'll take care of it. they're going to need you here to coordinate things anyway. I couldn't imagine they wouldn't follow you if you weren't a terrific leader." Corvus stated, unaware how it made Rias feel.
Sol mentally chuckled, knowing the devil's feelings for Corvus wouldn't stay hidden much longer. it surprised him how quickly love could bloom.
Then again? He was a dragon of immense power and fame; love wasn't a concept he entertained since he couldn't do much at the moment to change his predicament.
"Yes… well, good to have your input. I would leave now; things aren't going to stay this quiet for much longer." Rias stated before Corvus nodded and departed, going to summon a magic circle.
He paused only to turn and look back at Rias for a moment.
"We're defeat them… and I'll make sure that Xenovia doesn't bother anyone when I get back… she ALWAYS acts like this; I'm starting to get sick and tired of her constantly making things worse than they should be. We aren't going to get work down at this rate if she keeps pushing like this." Corvus turned and departed for good this time, he needed to get moving.
Something that clawed at his mind was why Kiba would go so far out of his way to hunt for the swords alone.
It made him question just what had to happen for him to decide to forsake Rias to try something like this. he had only gone behind Rias's back because it helped her. he respected her enough to act on intel he was given to get a mission done.
He sighed and then decided to go straight to Sirzechs and speak to him directly, he summoned a magic circle and stepped into it.
"You already spoke to Sirzechs about things, didn't you?" Akeno giggled as Rias crossed her arms and left to handle an important task she couldn't and wouldn't trust anyone else with.
Author Note
Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out that these chapters might get a little infrequent. Next chapter will be in 1-2 weeks and will show Rias going to speak to Xenovia and Kokabiel starting his assault. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
Ps: Next story should hopefully be up soon hopefully… sorry, other stories first.
