Pierce awoke to a beam of sunlight that managed to get past the curtains. He got up and decided to get something to eat.
He went downstairs and walked past Sona on the couch.
"Hey"
"Hey" Pierce replied.

Wait just a fucking second. "What are you doing here?"
"That took you longer than it should have"
"Shouldn't you be in Kyoto?"
"Well, Azazel told us what happened, so we came back here"
"You guys could have stayed"
"Nya~ It wouldn't be the same without my bone-headed mate"
Kuroka wrapped her arms around him from behind.
"Nya~ same here" Hoka joined from the side.
"I could never be without my dumbass husband" Sona joined in from the other side.
"Stupid or not, you are my master" Taimat pressed into his chest.
"You know you would be lonely without us, little brother"
"You can't get rid of me that easily, you're the only being who has ever captured my heart"
"Don't forget about us!" all of his demon spawns were here too.
"That reminds me" Red pulled him out of the hug and close to her face. She licked her lips. "You still need to impregnate me~"
"Huh?"

Azazel was extremely nervous as he exited the room for a deep breath. If this is all part of the plan of this mysterious person, then he may have already won. He had the feeling that whoever planned that was, he's a freaking genius. For now, the Youkai decided to get the eye off Pierce, but that doesn't mean that they're going to forget anything as they will begin to chase any Angel, Fallen and Devil from Japan.
"What kind of mess is this" mumbled Azazel as he felt a headache "Why are things this complicated?"
He hoped that it wouldn't turn into an all-out war, and judging by who was there, it would seem that the Youkais have allied themselves with the Olympians and the Loas of the Voodoo. He had to return and try to talk with the Youkais, trying to avoid war.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
"-poliece say that these disappearances and brutal murders will be stopped soon, most people are speculating that this may be paranormal-"
"That is why you should be worried"
"choked children, people who had their legs separated from their bodies, some lacked their heads and their blood, some seemed to be stabbed by what the local policemen could say to be scissors, and others who just disappeared. How does this involve me?"
It was at this moment, where Sona had officially given up. She got up and walked out of the room.
Pierce turned and looked around at the others in confusion
"I don't understand"
"Nya~ you don't understand anything besides money and fighting"
"Thats not true!"
He got dead stares from them.
"Well…..maybe..."
"As long as you get paid, you don't care what you have to do"
It hurt because it was true, there have been several times when he took a job without reading the details because the payment was very high.
Azazel was waiting in an old building as he was pacing from left to right.
"Where is he?" he mumbled.
"Are you sure that it will work?" asked Sirzechs as he was standing next to Michael.
"We don't have any other choice" replied Azazel "If what Great Red told me was right, then he may be our last chance to avoid war"
At that moment, Vali appeared in a runic circle with Arthur by his side.
"What do you want, Azazel?" asked Vali.
"We need your help" answered Azazel "The Youkais are going to enter war against us, and the only place in the world that's neutral and where there's no fight, we need you to let us use the Draconic Temple, I've already spoken with the leaders of the Youkais and they accepted to a peaceful encounter if it was there"
"What would I gain?" asked Vali as he crossed his arms.
The three leaders looked between themselves and nodded before that Azazel said "We're ready to do whatever you're going to ask us"
Vali looked at them for some seconds before replying with "Fine, but both parties need to bring an offering to the temple, that's how things are, and were, running for millennia"
"We understand" nodded Azazel before seeing the two young men teleporting away.
"I pray that we did the right choice" mumbled Michael

"Can you guys stop staring at me?"
"Can you stop being such a bonehead?"
Pierce sighed and went back to his food, they continued to stare.
A magic circle formed, and out of it came Arthur Pendragon.
Pierce summoned his sword and lunged at the man in the suit.
"Wait!" kuroka shouted.
His sword was halted inches from the blond man's neck.
"Give me one good reason not to kill him"
"Please come to the Draconic Temple by tomorrow, that is all"
The man teleported away.
Draconic Temple?
Pierce turned around and found Red in a state of frozen shock.
"I assume you know something about this temple?"

Pierce was out for a walk again, but this time at night.
"Why does all the crazy shit happen to me?" he was speaking mostly to himself, so he was spooked by a reply.
"Did you think you could live a normal life, Hunter?" a deep, ghostly voice responded.
Pierce spun around just in time to see a figure land on the sidewalk a few feet away.
A grey and black mist gathered around his feet.
'woah….'
The figure was dressed in all black clothing, his overcoat looked like it had been shredded at the bottom, he also had boots, gloves, and a wide brimmed hat.
Not an inch of flesh was being shown, his face was covered with a white mask in the shape of a long bird beak.
His wings were pretty cool, they looked like bat wings but without skin or muscle, only bones.
The last thing was a worn leather book in his right hand.
"Who the hell are you?" Pierce got ready to summon his armor.
"My name is not important, but I'm not here to harm you. Quite the opposite"
"You want to help me?"
"I you would allow me"
"Sure…" Pierce could feel a power coming from him, it gave him chills.
"There are only a few things I ask of you"
"Ok, shoot"
"I do not wish to be exposed or for anyone to know of my existence"
"Ok, I wont tell anyone"
"Good, I was also wondering if you could shelter me?"
"You want to stay at my house?"
"Is that ok?"
"Sure, but there are others with me"
"Yes, I know of your concubines"
"Ok, one of them is Great Red, she might sense you"
"I can keep my presence masked from anyone I don't want to know"
"Alright, mind if I ask you about the book?"
"It's not as much of a book as it is a journal, a record of ancient and forbidden spells. And ones I have created"
"I see, I guess you also wont be showing your face anytime soon"
"That is correct, my identity is something I wish to keep hidden"
"Thats fine, you got a nickname or something for me to call you by?"
"Hmm" he thought for a second. "You may call me, The Doctor"
