TheRagFromTheCrag; Glad you liked them! Yeah, them walking in would be rather funny~
ShadowUzumaki55; They surely do huh~? Rias is quite comfortable with it, they've grown up together. Hehe, Akeno seems to not back down either~ The class was rather stunned by it~ He'll be going out with the others. Yeah, Dohnaseek thought that he'd be able to get far, but in the end he wasn't able to stand up to Haruki's power. Freed has his own reasons for seemingly teaming up with Zephyrdor, why that is we'll soon see~ Yeah, they could be.
Dharak23; Glad you liked her~ Isane's going to be going through a few things. Glad you enjoyed their interactions. Serafall and Gabriel will have a number of meetings, eaching having some...fun results~ Thanks!
Silver crow; Thanks! True enough~ Meredith will come soon enough. Rias is rather comfortable with him yeah~ Hehe, it might just~ It's in the main school building. It seems they've got a little rivalry going on. Haruki has met Azazel before. It seems that Haruki can use at least visually to look like it. Le Fay and Haruki do have a nice relationship between them. Hmm, I can't reveal much about that~ He has introduced them yeah. They had a nice date between them. Dohnaseek tried, but he was shut down pretty quickly. When it comes up he wont deny it. Maybe Serafall could have yeah. Roygun doing that would be cool. It probably wont be the next chapter after it, but it wouldn't be long after it. Maybe he does know them~ If I did, maybe I'm not sure. It could do yeah. Gabriel might appear during that arc~ I'm sure Vali would do yeah. His relationship with his Father is going to be rather interesting~ Ooh Haruki will be doing stuff like that~ I've seen some of both of those, haven't watched them all yeah, enjoying it so far. Yeah, it might~
Cipherdragonite; I'm not really caught up with that, so I'll have to get back to you if I would do a story for that series or not.
L; Thanks, I'll check it out~
Anime PJ; Hehe, glad that you found it funny~ He could do at this stage, there aren't many threats that could pose a problem to Haruki right now. In the future that will change where stronger opponents come, and give a good challenge to him. Those plots will have rather interesting stuff come of them.
MDM11; They'll be going through a few things. Yeah the members would be aware of him being that~ Being trained by him would be good. Katerea could be interesting~ Those would be cool additions, thanks for the suggestions!
Lightwave; He is yeah. Le Fay is quite adorable. Yeah, Dohnaseek wouldn't pose a threat to him. Isane's going to be going through a few things~ His Balance Breaker will be shown in full when the perfect opponent rises. Yeah, they'd be cool.
Guest; One day I will be doing yeah. I'm not sure when.
Andrew123456; I'll have to read the story before saying yes or no, I've only seen some of the anime.
Skull Flame; He did, and he failed. Le Fay is! Hehe, not just yet. Zephyrdor is going to be going through quite a bit.
Akeno fan; Yeah, it wont be that long. All of them will eventually yeah. Maybe she could be~
Well, with those reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!
Capture the Fallen Angels!
The next morning, Haruki laid in his bed, Serafall was above him, and was laying kisses up and down his chest and stomach areas, teasing to go lower and lower each time that she did.
"Fufu, what's going on Sera-tan? You being naughty again~?"
Serafall's hot tongue caressed his toned stomach, allowing it to drag across his flesh.
Haruki couldn't deny that she was rather good at making him feel good.
Even with just this action, it felt so good that he could barely stop a pleasurable moan escaping his mouth.
"I'll be going away soon, so I wanted to have some fun with my cute Queen~ Speaking of, I heard you having fun with Dohnaseek-chan last night~ Did he squeal~?"
"After I had some fun, he gave me what I wanted to know. Told me everything~"
He giddily said.
He didn't get many opportunities to play around like this.
But when he did, he truly did make the most of it, and had a blast.
Serafall tilted her head.
"What did you do Haru-chan?"
"Ooh...lets say we had fun watching movies together~"
Haruki chortled, while Serafall tilted her neck.
Several hours before, Haruki had Dohnaseek strapped to a chair, his eyes forced to be open. Dohnaseek looked terrified as his eyes were glued to a screen, a screen with a movie he didn't want to watch at all.
Dohnaseek was being tortured….with Twilight.
On repeat.
Dohnaseek's eyes were filled with fear, his body was shaking, and he allowed his voice to leak out loudly.
"NOT AGAIN! NOT THAT CRAZY BELLA WOMAN AGAIN! SHE'S A WEIRDO AND OBSESSED WITH DEAD PEOPLE THAT GLITTER! WHY DOES THAT VAMPIRE GLITTER?! I AM CONFUSED! AND THEIR LOVE IS WEIRD! PLEASE SWITCH THIS OFF! I CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE! IT'S AWFUL!"
Haruki allowed his finger to run across the TV.
Dohnaseek could see that Haruki was giving off a small smile.
That smile, he didn't know if it was sadistic, innocent, or something else entirely.
"Look, they're about to play that song you love Dohnaseek~"
Dohnaseek shook his head, rejecting the reality that was before him.
He just couldn't accept it.
"PLEASE MAKE THIS STOP! I DON'T LIKE THE SONG! I DON'T LIKE THESE MOVIES! I'LL DO ANYTHING! JUST NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN!"
Dohnaseek screamed at Haruki who held a small smirk on his lips.
"Are you going to tell me what I want to know?"
Dohnaseek gave a defiant, yet scared look to his eyes.
"SCREW YOU! I'LL NEVER TELL YOU ANYTHING!"
Haruki's smirk became so frightening that even seeing a mere glance of it caused Dohnaseek to curl away from the boy.
"Fufu, Dohnaseek, we still have another movie to go through yet again~ After that...it's time for Fifty Shades of Grey~ All of them...on repeat, until you tell me what I want to know~"
Dohnaseek's face drained of colour.
His eyes glazed over with absolute dread and terror.
He truly was afraid right now.
Dohnaseek flung his head back, and his mouth opened wide.
But he physically couldn't keep his eyes off the TV, Haruki wouldn't allow him.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Haruki laughed sadistically as Dohnaseek shed heavy tears, his nightmare only just beginning...
Back in present time, while laying down within his bed, Haruki smiled to himself, seeing Serafall giving him more curious looks than before.
"Aah, that was fun~ Dohnaseek and I watched movies for a little while~ By the end of it, he had so much fun that he couldn't help but tell me what he was thinking and what his group had been planning~ Apparently, it seems that they were going to kill Isane-chan, believing that it would be a waste of time to watch over her, then they were going to lure some innocent nun here to take her Sacred Gear."
Serafall was impressed he managed to get the information so quickly.
But she wasn't all that surprised, as she knew that he was good at making people talk.
"Wow Haru-chan, it seems that he really was talkative~"
Haruki snickered slightly.
"He seemed to want to tell me~ Dohnaseek really loves those movies~"
Haruki gave a slightly sadistic laugh.
Serafall continued to smile, enjoying what was going on.
"However, it seems that Isane-chan knows about the Devils and such now. What're you going to do~?"
"I spoke to Rias-chan last night, she told me that she had some interest in making Isane-chan her servant. So, I'll bring Isane-chan to the Occult Research clubroom after school, so we can go over a few things there."
Serafall pursed her lips.
"I see, so Rias-chan sees potential within Isane-chan then? I mean, I do feel as if the Sacred Gear is rather strong. I just wish I knew what the actual power was. Rias-chan at least could gain a strong person to be on her side."
"Yes, but it would be her decision."
"Do you think that she would do?"
Haruki shrugged.
"I don't know, it would be a big step. Maybe she'd want to do it for herself. For someone else. Who knows what she'd want to do. Whatever it is, I hope that she's happy with the decision, and she understands what she's getting herself into."
"Yeah...anyway! I spoke to Azazel-chan last night after you told me about Isane-chan being attacked. He contacted me a few hours later, and wasn't happy at all. He was furious in fact, and couldn't believe the Fallen Angels went behind his back to do these things. So, he's asked that we capture them, and I'd take them with me when I go back to the Underworld, dropping them off in a mutual grounds meeting place."
Haruki didn't seem to have a problem with that.
"I understand, then I should get them as quickly as I can, before they try and skip town or something like that."
Serafall nods with excitement.
"Then I'll leave it to you Haru-chan! But for the moment, it's time for us to have a little bit of fun~"
Serafall sang out, before allowing her lips to press against his own.
He didn't argue, and began kissing her more and more deeply as she allowed her hand to slide lower and lower on his body.
At the old Church in Kuoh sometime later, Raynare paced back and forth, since Dohnaseek hadn't returned.
"Damn that Dohnaseek, he should've listened to me and not gone out!"
He usually did things his way, but she knew that if they were to do what they wanted to do, and gain a certain girls Sacred Gear, then they'd have to be at full fighting force.
Kalawarner, a young beautiful woman that had an impressive bust, as well as a curvy body, placed one of her arms underneath her right breast, lifting it up ever so slightly, as she perched on a broken pew, her eyes looking towards the disgruntled looking Raynare. Her long blue hair that reached her hips swayed as she moved her neck, her eyes fixated upon Raynare.
"Raynare, please calm down. We don't know what's going on currently."
"How can I calm down?! Leviathan's Executioner is in this town Kalawarner! If we make a false move, then we're done for! But we can't exactly move either! We have to be here due to Azazel-sama's orders...shit, this isn't going to go well, I can feel it in my bones!"
Raynare was naturally worried.
She didn't have the power to contend with Haruki, nor Serafall.
She was stuck, if she didn't go through with the plan then she wouldn't be strong.
But she wouldn't be able to stay alive if she or her plan was discovered.
"Dohnaseek's just being an idiot anyway~ He's probably off gloating somewhere. He wouldn't lose to someone like the Queen of Leviathan. It's probably all hype anyway, he can't be as strong as we've heard. He wasn't even a proper Fallen Angel, and I doubt that he's the one that took out the Head of Himejima those years ago. He was a freaking kid!"
Said a sweet voice of a young girl, but held some sarcastic tones to it.
The young girl that could be called a loli, with a small figure, albeit not as small as Koneko, wearing gothic lolita clothing that had frills across the edges. Her blonde hair was tied above her head into twin tails with blue eyes.
"Mittelt, don't start on me right now. I wont be able to take it...you don't understand. Those rumours didn't come from nowhere, we've heard that there's been plenty of things happening in recent times, so why couldn't he have killed the one called Suou Himejima as a kid? Hearing what he's done in present time...yeah, I'm going to go with the fact that he did take out people like that, and we wouldn't stand a chance. Speaking of, where is Freed anyway? Don't tell me he's gone off on his own again..."
Raynare looked around, but she couldn't feel anything going on.
Whatever was going on, she wasn't thrilled that they could be caught by Haruki.
She didn't want to have to deal with such levels of power.
Mittelt didn't see any worry and began playfully swaying side to side.
"I don't get the big drama. It isn't like we have to worry about this guy. As long as he doesn't find out about our true intentions, what's the problem? We can do as we like while here. We have authority to be here for Azazel-sama."
"That's why we don't draw attention to ourselves. If we do, then we're screwed, don't you understand? Am I the only one who's able to comprehend what the hell is actually happening around here?!"
Raynare yelled, trying her best to remain calm and relaxed.
But it was difficult.
She felt something was truly off, that there was going to be some kind of trouble going on.
As they were talking, the door suddenly burst open.
"No..."
Raynare gasped, and turned to see...Haruki stood there.
Ravel was beside him along with Koneko, as they made their way inside.
Raynare placed a hand on her chest, and she felt like she was beginning to hyperventilate.
"L-Leviathan's Executioner...an-and the Phenex...followed by the Neko...s-shit!"
Haruki raised a finger to his lips, and chortled.
"Fufu, Ravel-chan, Koneko-chan. It seems that we're rather famous~"
Koneko only nods, while Ravel begins speaking as she pulls to his right hand side.
"Yes, it seems to be the case. That would save us some time, don't you think Haruki-sama?"
Haruki slowly nods, as Raynare tries to compose herself.
"W-What are you doing here...Leviathan's Executioner? We haven't done anything...so why don't you leave right away?"
Raynare tried to sound bold and strong.
But it didn't work out well for her as she was shaking, her hands felt like ice cubes with how cold it suddenly became. But she couldn't see the ice doll anywhere, so it had to be the atmosphere that was causing the area to be cold.
It wasn't just Raynare that was feeling worried, even scared.
Kalawarner felt like she was going to freeze at the intense atmosphere going on around her.
Mittelt, despite the bravado she had before, was a quivering mess.
They all knew they didn't have the power to attack and achieve victory.
There just wasn't a way for it to work out.
"Your friend, Dohnaseek tried to attack a young girl and I have been told about your circumstances. After a little...lets say persuasion from me, he sung like a canary~"
Raynare gulped.
"H-He did?"
"Yes, that's right, now its time for you to come with me."
"You're going to kill us, aren't you?!"
Kalawarner snapped, her own strength failed her and she was now a worried woman that felt like the world was going to get her.
"That depends if you're good girls and come with me quietly. Please don't make a fuss, I'd like to do this quickly. I've got a few duties to attend to before the days end."
He played with them, yet his tone also was laced with a serious undertone also.
Mittelt shivered, feeling the humming aura that was releasing off of Haruki.
It terrified her to say the least.
"I want to live!"
Mittelt yelled, and she tried to run away.
Extending her Fallen Angel wings, she shot for the closest window in hopes she'd be able to at least put a little bit of distance between them.
But Haruki twitched his hand, and lightning surrounded the entire building within moments. Raynare and Kalawarner looked disturbed, while Mittelt was forced away from the window she tried to escape out of.
She then fell to the floor, and her eyes displayed fear.
"C-Come on! Seriously!?"
Mittelt complained, her eyes glaring deep holes into the area that Haruki was in.
But that stopped when Haruki raised an eyebrow.
"Now, now. This isn't going to be terrible if you cooperate. I've been under orders from my King to capture you, and deliver you back to the Fallen Angels, so I'd like it if you did as I say and simply follow after me, alright?"
Haruki asked nicely.
But Raynare wasn't thrilled by what she was seeing at this moment in time.
She wanted to have power.
She wanted to have the ability to finally be recognized by Azazel.
She didn't want to be stopped just yet.
"N-No...I wont..."
Raynare replied weakly.
Kalawarner was a bit more brash, and stepped forward with a sadistic look in her eyes.
"You can't beat us! Even if there's three on three!"
Ravel brushed her skirt as she addressed Kalawarner.
"Koneko-san and myself are merely here to witness what is about to happen. We aren't going to be fighting."
"...That doesn't sound right. You can't leave it all to that boy!"
Kalawarner thought that she was rather crazy.
Believing that Haruki could take them down without a worry.
"We aren't needed, I am Haruki-sama's secretary, so I am here to provide any knowledge that might be needed. Koneko-san is here because she wishes to be apart of Haruki-sama's future peerage, so she wished to follow. Apart from that, we wont be getting involved. Haruki-sama wont need us for this...situation."
Kalawarner growled, and showed her teeth.
"Mocking us?!"
"Kalawarner! Please shut up now! Don't cause problems!"
Raynare demanded.
But Kalawarner didn't accept it, summoning a yellow spear of light. It had a ring around the sharp side of the spear, and her eyes displayed hostility as she pointed it towards Haruki.
Haruki remained calm as the spear was growing in a little bit of power.
"Are you going to attack? I'd advise against it personally. I don't want to fight you. This would go much smoother if you cooperate. I'll be able to tell your leader as much and he might be more lenient. Trying to kill an innocent-"
"-perverted-"
"-teenager is going to go against you."
Haruki finished off, with Koneko interjecting her own thoughts as he spoke.
Haruki then looked down at Koneko who looked back up with a tilting neck.
Raynare however, looked like she was going to pass out.
"S-Shit...a-alright, lets just keep calm..."
Raynare was hoping to resolve this peacefully now.
She didn't want to upset Azazel.
Nor did she want to die.
But Kalawarner had other ideas this time.
She wasn't going to go down without a fight.
"E-Even if you are the Queen of Leviathan! It wont bother me! I'll show you the extent of my power! Do you understand that?!"
Kalawarner showed her rage, and tossed her spear for Haruki.
Haruki didn't even bat an eyelid as the spear bounced off of his body…
No, it didn't even get that far.
An aura wrapped around Haruki's form, and the spear hit it, but it simply bounced off of him like it was nothing.
He then raised his hand, and gathered Holy Lightning.
Kalawarner became worried, so she summoned more and more spears.
"Mittelt! Use your spears too! He's still a Devil! He wont be able to survive our assault!"
Mittelt was worried.
But she felt like she didn't have any choice and she used her spears, launching them at high speeds.
Haruki released a breath.
"Seems like they're choosing to fight after all~"
Then Haruki allowed his power to shine forward.
Within seconds, Raynare watched as the spears were destroyed within the air, along with the entire building itself. The building was blown away by Haruki's destructive power, and the area became scorched from the intense power that he was able to release.
Raynare felt like she was losing her mind, seeing the building being wiped out, and it looked as if Haruki put little effort into the attack.
Kalawarner and Mittelt had been surrounded by Holy Lightning, creating a cage. Even she had been surrounded by a Holy Lightning cage. It was too strong for them to break out of, their movements had been restricted.
Their eyes had became dyed with the fear that they were staring at some kind of monster.
"Record timing Haruki-sama. Serafall-sama is going to be happy."
Ravel spoke with a smile, as Koneko pulled closer.
"Senpai nyan. It seems that with the Fallen Angels detained, our mission has been complete."
"It seems so Koneko-chan~ Good work~"
Koneko nods, while Ravel tilts her head.
"She didn't do anything."
"Aah, but she did Ravel-chan." Ravel was clueless as Haruki gently pets her head. "She provided the cute support~"
Ravel gave bemused eyes, as Koneko held onto his hand.
"...Lets do this quickly Senpai."
"Yes, we should go quickly~"
Haruki took one last look around, and couldn't see anything or anyone.
He also had Koneko sense for anything, but nothing had come about.
Seeing that there wasn't anything left, Haruki had the Fallen Angels transported back to the house.
"Well, that's it everyone! Later on, I'm bringing Isane-chan to the Occult Research club."
"...The pervert might join Buchou's group, yes Haru-senpai?"
Haruki inclined his neck.
"That's right, Rias-chan is interested in making her a servant of the Gremory family."
"...Still, she must sense a strong Sacred Gear for her to contemplate it."
Koneko added, Ravel inclined her neck.
"That's probably true. But we don't know what it is yet. Either way Haruki-sama, we should go."
"Right, lets get going."
After confirming that everything was okay, they turned, and began walking away from the area they were in.
Later on during the day, as classes broke up for the day, Haruki glanced at Isane, who seemed to be fidgety. He did explain some stuff about what happened to her, she naturally would be unsure of it all.
Though she took it better than he expected.
He then stood up, so she stood also.
"Excited Isane-chan?"
"I-I have so many questions! I don't know what to start with!"
"And I'll have answers for you. Please follow me."
Haruki said, and she did just that.
Seeing Aika still being in disbelief by what she was seeing, she watched along with other girls. Isane gave them grins as she moved closer to Haruki, allowing her hand to casually rest on top of his own.
Haruki didn't mind, and just continued on together with her.
Walking outside of the school, and around it, they walked towards the old school building.
A feeling of bewilderment built within her, as she moved closer towards Haruki.
"So, what's in here?"
"Rias Gremory is in here. She has taken an interest in you."
"I-In me?"
Isane seemed to have a mixture of curiosity and excitement when she said that.
Haruki raised an eyebrow.
"Rias-chan's thoughts are about the sleeping power within you, and what you could do with it."
"Do...with it?"
"Yes...it will become clear rather soon. But, whatever does happen Isane-chan, it is your choice. Your life, your choice. You can decide to accept any offers, you can decline any offers. You can even think about the offers. Whatever you want. Don't feel pressured about doing something you don't want to do."
Haruki was someone that thought that it should be the choice of the person being reincarnated.
There were times of course when the chance isn't there to present itself.
But there were times where they did have a choice.
"Eeh, sure!"
Isane didn't get it, but she simply inclined her neck.
Then they went inside.
Isane suddenly felt something run through her body.
She couldn't explain it all that well.
Her hand began to itch for reasons she wasn't aware.
The back of her hand that was.
"Can you feel something different than before?"
Haruki asked, seeing Isane's initial reaction of stepping inside.
"It's pretty weird. I don't know what it is...it just felt as if some strange feeling came over me. My hands also itchy."
"It's probably due to the demonic power in this area. It can be a rather odd sensation for humans."
"Haha, you're saying that you're not human?"
"Never been fully human."
"Eh?"
Isane had even more questions.
But Haruki pressed on and walked up some stairs.
Her eyes drew themselves towards his broad back, and his butt for a few moments, licking her lips.
Haruki turned back, seeing Isane's lustful eyes on his form.
"You are a naughty one, aren't you? You haven't even hired me for a contract yet~"
"C-Contract?"
Haruki slowly nods.
"Yes, that's right. A contract, allows me to do a wish for you. It could be a number of things, for a fee of course~"
Alluringly saying that, dripping out of his lips like honey, Isane's mind went through several different scenarios.
Being with him, seeing him naked…
Endless possibilities…
Haruki chortled, and murmured "Come, Isane-chan." which snapped her out of her pervy thoughts, then chased him up the stairs.
Moving up and then arriving at a door at the end of a corridor, Isane saw that it had a sign on the side which said 'Occult Research club' drawing Isane's attention.
"Aah, so you're apart of the Occult Research club? I get it now..."
"Actually, I'm not really apart of it, but I do frequent the club. Please, come inside."
Haruki opened the door, and stepped inside.
Isane swallowed her saliva, before following.
Looking across the different areas, she saw that there was magical circles on the floor in different locations. Two big couches that easily could fit three people on facing one another that went towards the centre of the room, and had a coffee table before each couch. There was a large desk at the back of the room, what seemed to Isane to be the presidents desk, with even a shower at the back behind some curtains. Isane also saw that there were other desks towards the right hand side, with large windows on the left.
There were also a few people within the room.
"I'll introduce you to the members here. This is Koneko-chan."
Koneko who casually was eating some sweets, looked towards Isane, who stared back, then she went back to eating her food.
"Very talkative, isn't she?"
Isane murmured, Koneko's eyes shot for her.
But Haruki got in the way, and gently petted her head.
Koneko felt soothed by the touch, and backed down.
"Koneko-chan's a bit of a silent type sometimes, but she's really friendly." Isane wasn't sure about that. But she watched Haruki point towards someone else. "Anyway, next is Ravel-chan."
Ravel was at the right hand side desk, filling out some kind of report, looked up from her desk, and smiled.
"Welcome Hyoudou-senpai. Though I'm not apart of the Occult Research club, I'm happy you're here."
"Eheh, thanks Ravel-san~"
Ravel smiled, and got back to work.
"Next, is my adorable Onee-sama~ Akeno-nee-sama~"
Akeno was towards the windows, with cups that had some tea in them. When seeing Isane, she bowed.
"How do you do? Fufu, it seems you went on a date with my Otouto~"
"A-Ah yes! He was a perfect gentleman!"
"That's good to know. Because if he wasn't, I'd have to punish him~"
Isane blinked as Haruki smirked.
"Onee-sama, I'll punish you for worrying Isane-chan~"
Akeno blushed at the words, while Isane furrowed her brows curiously.
"Fufu, if it is you Haruki, then I don't mind at all~"
Isane wondered about the curious way they flirted with one another.
But then Haruki's hand went towards the shower curtain.
"Lastly, the Buchou of the club. Rias Gremory-chan."
Rias walked out of the shower, wearing nothing but a towel on.
"How do you do Isane Hyoudou? My name is..."
She trailed off, seeing Isane's...change in demeanour.
Isane's eyes went over Rias' form, and she grinned.
"Fufu, so this is the legendary Gremory-senpai that even takes showers inside of the school~"
Rias blinked as Isane gazed upon her.
"Yes...that's right."
Rias gave an unsure look as she stepped behind some curtains.
Seconds later, she emerged once more fully dressed in her school uniform.
"It seems that everyone is here."
Rias said, Haruki raised an eyebrow.
"Your Knight?"
"Don't worry about that, I've had a contract sent that needs a rapid response. So my Knights taking care of that for the moment. Though I am surprised to see that Kuroka isn't here. Is she busy or doing a task?"
"She's keeping the Fallen Angels entertained~"
Haruki sang out, Rias gave an intrigued stare, imagining what Kuroka was doing with the Fallen Angels.
Back at the house, Kuroka was within the area the Fallen Angels were in, and she was teaching them how to dance provocatively, among other things after she learned more about the Fallen Angels, Raynare in particular.
Kuroka wipes her brow after finishing off a provocative dance, and she made sure that Dohnaseek didn't see her, since she only wanted to dance like that for Haruki.
"Right, now it's time to try and attract your man~ I'm going to give you some tips in making that man you want, yours~"
"I don't want to attract a man!"
Dohnaseek yelled, but Kuroka rolled her eyes.
"Then why are you listening to my other seduction techniques?"
Kuroka curiously asked, Dohnaseek's face fell into one that looked on with worry.
"B-Because they could be applied to girls!"
"Heh, because you couldn't attract the pervy girl, is that right?"
Dohnaseek went red in the face, while Kalawarner snorted.
"That's exactly it."
"You shut up Kalawarner!"
Kalawarner glared while Mittelt sniffled.
"I didn't want to do this in the first place..."
Raynare on the other hand raised a hand to her chin.
"So the secrets in the body movements? Is that so? But, what if he doesn't want you?"
"Well, my adorable Raynare-chan, there's plenty of ways to seduce. One, is to showcase your womanly charms, the way you use your words, and flirt with your love interest. I use my womanly charms on my Haruki-chan all of the time, and am rewarded with kisses, and cuddles, and soon we're going to have hardcore sex and produce children~"
Mittelt and Dohnaseek did spit takes while Raynare was engrossed by what was going on, Kalawarner on the other hand just seemed rather curious.
"I see, so that's your goal..."
"We are captives here! Why aren't you saying anything!?"
Dohnaseek roared at Raynare who scowled back, Kuroka glared.
"I don't like how you're raising your voice...it's time for Twilight again."
Dohnaseek's face fell, and he began going into a mental breakdown.
"NO PLEASE!"
Kuroka liked having this power.
She saw Dohnaseek being afraid...and it felt oddly nice.
"Are you going to be good?"
Kuroka held a smile as she said that with a slightly scary look on her face.
"YES! I AM GOING TO BE GOOD! PLEASE NOT THAT DREADED MOVIE AGAIN! I CAN'T HANDLE IT!"
Kuroka smirked.
She definitely liked having fun with the Fallen Angels.
Back to the Occult Research club, Haruki sat down with Koneko jumping onto his lap, and Ravel taking a seat nearby. Isane was still bewildered by what was going on, but she managed to remain composed enough for her to accept some tea from Akeno.
Rias sat on the opposite side, as did Akeno. Rias held her hands before her, cupping her hands together, while Akeno silently drunk some of her tea.
"Okay then, it's time to begin. I've been informed by Haruki about what happened the previous night, with you being attacked by a man with black wings."
"He called...him a Fallen Angel...right?"
Rias nods.
"Yes, that man is called a Fallen Angel. But he is detained now, as are his friends, comrades, whatever you'd like to call them. For them targeting you, I can only offer my apologies now, it was a case where we were told you hold a power deep within you, and they were quietly watching you, but were told to not make a move on you. Clearly, they didn't listen to this, and did so anyway."
"If Haruki hadn't of been there...I would have died, right?"
Rias once more nods.
"In all likelihood, that would have been the outcome."
Isane, still perplexed, ran a hand through her brown hair, trying to make sense of things going on.
"I just don't get it...why me? What is this power inside of me exactly? Is it really worth me dying?"
Seeing her growing worries and frustrations, Haruki interjected this time.
"No, it wouldn't be worth you dying for. From what I could gather, they thought that it was a pretty weak Sacred Gear..."
"Sacred...what?"
Isane naturally was perplexed by what he had said.
It wasn't a common term that she would come across naturally.
Haruki hummed, and thought about the best way to go about it.
"Right...quickly going over it. A Sacred Gear is a special power from God himself. Given to humans such as yourself, and are things only humans can be born with. Well, humans and hybrids of humans. Whatever the case is, there has to be some human in there."
"S-So...why was it given to me? I'm not special or anything..."
Haruki could understand why she'd jump to that conclusion.
She was still trying to make sense of everything.
For him who had lived around the supernatural for so long, it was all second nature to him.
But an outsider like her, it naturally would cause some confusion.
"It doesn't work like that." Ravel added. "It's just the luck of the draw on who they go to. The system doesn't choose who the Sacred Gears go to based on any background, it goes to a random person. Sometimes they're high up in the world, sometimes they're not, it doesn't differentiate between people. Any human or hybrid in the world could be born with a Sacred Gear."
"...It's really complicated for a girl like me. But I get that I've been born with some kind of power...did they want it for themselves? No, that couldn't be it..."
"To be honest, they probably just didn't understand the power you have Isane-chan." Haruki began, gaining her attention. "They wanted to have an easier job, and not waste time...watching over you I suppose. They also are seemingly after some kind of nun that might appear within this town."
Isane furrowed her brows, trying to make sense of everything that was going on.
"...So, they just wanted to get rid of me? Because of this power...well, what is it…? This...Sacred Gear?"
"I don't know, but I do know that it has a strong power. My own Sacred Gear reacts to your own."
"Yours? You have one too?"
"Yes, I do. She's currently behind you."
Isane blinked.
It was a girl?
That's what Isane thought was off.
She looked, and became stunned when seeing the three metre ice doll stood there.
Her eyes went towards Isane curiously, and just stared.
Isane felt cold from staring at her, and an icy mist could be seen leaking off of her form also.
"G-Geez! When did she get there?!"
"As soon as I talked about Sacred Gears, she likes being involved~ But yes, she's my Sacred Gear."
Isane overlooked her appearance.
She seemed regal.
But her face seemed to be different than normal faces.
Having a rose and thorns coming out, all made of ice, and six eyes as well.
"A-Are all like that?"
"No, they're different depending on who it is. Some have swords, or shields, or some don't have a physical form at all. Some have auras around the body, some have Sacred Gears within their eyes, and some like my girl here, are independent from me and acts according to my will. There are Sacred Gears that have a common ability, then there's rare Sacred Gears, then there's another class, called Longinus, which is the rarest of all, which mine is within."
Isane was trying to wrap her head around everything.
Though it was confusing, she at least understood that it wasn't directly her they were targeting.
"Still, those Fallen Angel guys are scary huh~? Are they all evil?"
At that, Akeno stiffened, and looked away.
Haruki gently smiled, glancing at his sister, and seeing her reactions.
"No Isane-chan, not all Fallen Angels are evil. Despite the name, Fallen Angels fall from Heaven for a variety of different reasons. Some do have evil intentions, some are merely wicked in different ways. And some...well, they are perverts and they fell from Heaven due to sleeping with human men and women depending on their preference."
"E-Eh? They fell for such a thing?!"
Isane didn't quite believe it.
But Haruki confirmed it with a nod of his head.
"Yes, Heavens Angels have a strict code they stick by, and they are rather pure in their thoughts, and feelings. If they become impure, then their wings turn black, and they're cast out of Heaven. But being impure doesn't mean evil."
Isane furrowed her brows, taking in all of the information.
Haruki turned to Rias.
"Rias-chan, this is your chance."
Rias gave a thankful expression.
"Okay Isane, may I call you Ise?"
"Sure...I guess..."
Isane didn't have a problem with it.
She didn't have a problem with a lot of things right now, since she was being perplexed by the situation.
"Right, then Ise... As you're aware, we aren't humans within this room, we are Devils."
"D-Devil...sure, why the heck not. There's Fallen Angels...now Devils...next you're going to tell me that Fairies exist..." Haruki parted his mouth to speak, but Isane chuckled awkwardly, seeing what he was going to say by the expression on his face. "...right, they exist also."
Rias placed a hand to her mouth, releasing a soft giggling sound.
"Yes, I'm sorry to drop that on you. But, yes, we are Devils. Devils, as like with Fallen Angels, aren't evil either. I mean, there can be Devils that are evil, but we in this room aren't evil. And what I would like to discuss with you, is the idea of Devil servants."
"Servants…?"
"Yes, with the exception of myself, and Ravel, all of the others in this room, weren't born Devils but are now."
Isane's eyes shoot for Haruki who confirms it with a nod of his head.
"You weren't born one!?"
"No, I wasn't born a Devil. I became a Devil later on in my life."
"But how's that possible?"
Rias pulls out a chess piece, presenting it to Isane.
"This is a representation of the process. To make it as simple as I can, the Devils use chess pieces, called Evil Pieces, and they can use them to turn other beings, like humans, Fallen Angels, and others into Devils as well, under the King, which is myself."
"S-So, everyone in here is your servant?"
Rias shook her head.
"No, the only servant I have within this room is Akeno. I do have others, but they're currently busy or away doing something for me. Haruki, and Koneko are servants of another Devil, one you haven't met yet. But ignoring that for the moment, why I am telling you, is because I can see much potential within you."
Isane was flabbergasted, scratching her cheek with a slight redness adorning her cheeks.
"Potential...me?"
Her voice told Haruki that she was quite disbelieving in this fact.
"Yes, your Sacred Gear, and...lets say your lustful side. Your desires are...very strong, I believe they'd be very well suited to being a Devil. And again, I understand how this can be jarring, all of this information thrown at you all at once, but I would like to converse with you more, and see if you becoming a Devil under myself would benefit the pair of us."
"So...like a business kind of deal?"
Isane asked, believing that's how it was due to what Rias was saying.
Rias hummed.
"You can see it like that, it can be seen as family. I see Akeno as my family, and I treat my servants very well. Though I know the term servants might be a little off putting considering how most would think that word is used. But my servants are people very precious to me. So, would it be alright if we got to know one another more?"
"I-I guess...this is kinda overwhelming for someone like me...so, I don't really know what to say..."
Rias understood.
"Please have sometime to think, there's no rush. And if you have anymore questions, then feel free to ask anyone in this room. Whoever you're more comfortable with. There can be many assets to becoming a Devil, I'll go over them with you in time."
"Y-Yeah...that would be good. But...I heard from Haruki-kun...that there's these contracts...and he could be hired…? T-That he'd d-do a request for me?!"
Rias smiled lightly.
"Yes, that's certainly true. You'd have to speak to Haruki about the ins and outs of that."
Isane's more lustful side turned towards Haruki, who gave a teasing smile back.
"Fufu, read this Isane-chan and it will give you a better understanding of the services that I provide~"
Haruki brought out a booklet, and looked through it.
Looking at the first few, she had a deep blush on her cheeks.
She could see that he did all sorts of things.
Massages, BDSM classes, playing erotic video games and voice acting the raunchy scenes, among other things, with some being erotic, some being meaningful, some being friendly, and then there were some that didn't apply to her like slaying of monsters, or the customer asking Haruki to be their opponent so they could train.
There were a number of them that very much interested Isane and ones that made her all the more intrigued.
"S-So, BDSM classes?"
Isane asked, Haruki nodded strongly.
"You have to do it properly, it isn't just about chains, whips and such, there has to be structure, agreements on both sides on what is and isn't acceptable, there's a bunch of details about it that I go into during the classes. That also reminds me Rias-chan, your next class is the day after tomorrow~"
Rias placed a hand to her face in shame.
Akeno's eyes drew to the embarrassed looking Rias.
"Rias? You're taking the classes?"
Akeno was blissfully unaware until Haruki said it.
Rias, with a blush dancing on her cheeks, confessed with a single nod.
"...Yes, because I was curious."
She let out meekly, feeling more embarrassed by the moment.
"No need to justify it Rias-chan, there's plenty of reasons people take it. Speaking of, I've got a class tomorrow, see you there Ravel-chan~"
Ravel bit her lower lip, blushing immensely.
Koneko looked towards Ravel who gazed back towards her.
"...It's okay, I've also been curious."
"You understand then."
Ravel smiled out, with Haruki seeing Isane looking at the booklet with an intense gaze.
Then she found one that she really wanted to try.
"Y-You'd even give me a full body massage?!"
Haruki's face became lit up with a smile, confirming it for the young girl.
"Yes, that's correct~ But, it isn't cheap and it has to stay strictly professional. However..." He leaked forward, and whispered hotly into her ear. "...for you my adorable Isane-chan, I'll make an exception, make it more affordable and have it be a little less professional~ I'll massage any area you want me to Isane-chan~"
As those words sensually left his lips, Isane couldn't hide her intentions any longer.
The thoughts of his hands being on her.
Touching...squeezing...doing everything Isane wanted him to do with his hands on her body...
All of her fantasies about Haruki flooded her mind.
It was so much for the young girl to take that she simply couldn't take it anymore.
Isane jumped to her feet, grabbed Haruki's hand.
"Lets go!"
Before Rias could say anything, Haruki was dragged out of the room by Isane.
"Fuee...it seems that she stole my Otouto again."
"Yes...that girl definitely is a unique one alright~"
Akeno and Rias stared curiously at the door.
Ravel and Koneko shrugged their shoulders at one another, while wondering what was going on with Haruki next.
The next day, Haruki stood together with Serafall as she clung to him tightly.
"No Haru-chan! I can't do it! In the end, I need to cuddle you! I wont be able to survive if I don't cuddle Haru-chan at least three times a day!"
Though Serafall knew she had to go, she didn't want to leave Haruki.
Haruki found her adorable when she was being rather dramatic.
But, at the same time she was rather cute also.
"Ara, don't worry Sera-tan. We can cuddle as much as you like when you return back here. We can even do those things that you like~"
Serafall gushed.
"Truly Haru-chan?"
"Yes, of course~ But remember, you can't neglect your duties while we're apart."
Serafall purses her lips.
"Fufu, if I did, would Haru-chan want to do things with me~?"
Haruki's smile grew as he saw the teasing look in her eyes.
"Perhaps~ But you also have to make sure the duties are done, so you can come back to me even quicker~"
Serafall placed a hand to her right breast, feeling a warmth within her body.
"Then I'll work doubly hard so I can have Haru-chan all to myself!"
He had to admit that he found her ways rather cute.
"Kuku, perhaps that would be a good thing~"
Serafall allowed her arms to go around his body.
He wrapped his own around her, and gave her a comforting expression.
"Don't look so worried, you'll be back soon enough. I know that you will, and this town will be safe while I'm here. So will precious Sona-chan~"
Serafall smiled in appreciation.
"I don't have to worry there Haru-chan! I know you'll keep the others safe for me!" Serafall leaned up, and gave him a small kiss on the lips, which he returned. "Then I'll be going with these Fallen Angel-chan's~"
Haruki nods slowly.
"Right, then I'll be doing my best here."
Serafall walks over to the Fallen Angels that were tied up.
Their eyes looked filled with despair.
"Come on now my adorable Fallen Angel-chan's! Don't look so worried!"
Dohnaseek tried to be strong…
But then a song from one of the movies he didn't like began playing, and he let out a small scream.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
Haruki raised an eyebrow, and saw that Kuroka had played it on her phone as she hid around the corner, while she held back small laughs.
"Awwww, don't worry Dohnaseek-chan! You don't have to show such a fearful side all of a sudden! It's alright, I promise!"
"O-Okaaaaaaaaay!"
Dohnaseek yelled at Kuroka, Raynare's eyes went towards Haruki in a pleading manner.
"Fallen Angel Raynare-san, I'm sorry it turned out like this. What you were trying to do, was wrong. Kidnapping an innocent nun, and trying to kill an innocent girl."
Raynare hung her head down, feeling more depressed by the moment.
"...I did it so I could finally be recognized by my superior...to finally be acknowledged by the man that I admire!"
"I've heard of what Azazel loves, and yes he does love Sacred Gears, he's devoted a good deal to researching them...but, is this really the best way he'd want you to go about it? Taking an innocents power, and killing them in the process? I don't know about you, but from what I know of Azazel, he'd not be so keen on you killing innocents to obtain their powers."
Raynare's head went low at Haruki's words.
The young man then looked at the others, but they didn't say anything.
Only Raynare seemed to have some regret, the others just seemed to be angry.
He understood why they were angry, but he wouldn't ever condone what they attempted to do either.
"Well, it seems we should be going Haru-chan! Goodbye!"
"Yes, goodbye Sera-tan, see you soon."
Serafall winked towards the boy, then she pulled back, and showed a strong peace sign.
Stepping into the magical circle that appeared on the ground, it gave off a glow.
The Fallen Angels looked on as Serafall waved.
With a flash of bright lights, Serafall was swept along together with the Fallen Angels.
Once Serafall and the Fallen Angels had finished disappearing, Haruki stretched his arms, turning to Kuroka.
"Fufu, it seems that Isane-chan was rather happy last night~ I heard the sensual moans she had~"
Haruki gave a teasing smile.
"It seems that she was yes~ We spent sometime together, and it seems that she really is honest when it comes to her desires."
"So, think she's gonna become a Devil?"
Kuroka wondered, genuinely interested.
Haruki shrugged.
"I have no idea, it would be her choice. If she thinks she can get more out of being a Devil than being a human, then she might do. I hope whatever she decides, it is the path that she believes is the best for her, and that she feels the most comfortable. Personally, I think that with her desires, she'd make a great Devil, imagination and desires is what powers demonic power and Sacred Gears respectably, and that girls got them both in spades."
Kuroka could get that.
She could definitely see Isane being wild with her imaginations, and her desires being rather on display for the world to see.
"Anyway Haruki-chan, with Serafall-sama away, it's time for me to play~"
Kuroka giggled as she moved closer and closer to Haruki.
His arms went around her form, and pulled her closer.
"Fufu, this kitten needs you Haruki-chan~"
"Haha, alright then Kuroka-san~"
Kuroka smiled in satisfaction, glad that she now had the chance to be with someone that she cared for.
Two days had passed since Serafall had departed for the Underworld, and it was just an ordinary day for Haruki. He however was going to school on his own that day, the others were busy, and he wanted to take a leisurely walk through the town.
His mind drew back to the various things Isane had been asking, saying, and for reasons he wasn't truly aware of, he kept wondering if she would become a Devil. He had to admit that he could understand how Rias was thinking when it came to Isane.
However, as he walked through the town, he suddenly felt a holy presence coming closer.
While he wasn't to the levels of Kuroka or Koneko in sensing, he did have enough sense to feel holy power at a distance.
However, compared to how he usually felt when it came to holy power…
This was different.
This felt...rather nice.
Nicer than he had felt holy power before.
He decided to go and investigate it.
Since he had taken care of the Fallen Angels, he wondered if this was a straggler Exorcist they had with them.
But to his surprise, when he arrived…
It was a nun.
A girl that looked around his age, with green emerald like eyes, long blonde golden hair that went down her back, and reached her hips. Her outfit consisted of a typical nuns outfit, and she even had a cross around her neck.
"The Fallen Angels did say a nun would come here. I thought that maybe she wouldn't come...or maybe she'd try to contact the Fallen Angels...but, she seems to be lost. Maybe I should investigate this a little bit..."
While finding it odd, Haruki didn't want to be blind sided.
He approached her carefully.
When the girl noticed him coming, she gasped.
Haruki paused, seeing the girl reaching for her cross.
He wondered if she was a great actress, and she had put on what she had done…
But to his surprise, she then wore a relieved smile.
"Excuse me~ Do you understand me?"
Her voice sounded rather sweet.
Holding no malice at all.
"Yes? Can I help you?"
The nun moved closer, and her smile became brighter by the moment.
"So you do understand me?"
She asked for confirmation, wanting to see if he actually did, or he was just merely being polite.
Haruki confirmed it for her while giving a kind smile towards her.
"I can yes."
The girl clapped her hands together, giving off a relieved look to her face.
"I'm so happy, I've been trying to ask people for a little while now for directions. But no one could understand me at all. I was worried I might never find my way~"
"Well don't worry about that~" Haruki smiled with a gentle look on his face. "I'll try and offer some guidance to you~ So, where is it you'd like to go?"
"Well, I've just been transferred here to this town, and I can't find my way. I thought someone was going to meet me, but no one ever came, so I decided to find my way. Do you perhaps know where the Church of this town would be?"
Haruki smiled lightly, and recalled what he did to the Church of the town…
How he had blown it up with his Holy Lightning.
"I know of where a Church was at least. I heard that it had an accident and now it's in ruins, sorry about that."
The girl placed a hand by her mouth.
"How awful..."
"I heard that it was falling apart for years. No one was inside, thankfully."
"Aah yes, that's the will of the Lord."
She said with a serene expression on her face.
"Yeah...I can take you there, if you like? It isn't that far from here."
Haruki thought this would be a good opportunity to discover a bit more about this nun, her true intentions, and what she could be doing with the Fallen Angels, wanting to make sure that those he cared for are safe.
Though he had to admit that he didn't think she was evil.
"That would be so kind~ Thank you~"
Haruki waved his hand.
"Please don't worry, it's okay."
His words caused the nun to smile.
Her smile was rather beautiful in Haruki's mind.
"Please, follow me."
"Yes, thank you~"
The young blonde nun smiled out, showing her innocence through her eyes.
Haruki continued looking her over, his mind running through a few thoughts.
"I just can't feel any evil coming from her. She isn't like any Stray Exorcist or former member of the Church I've ever seen before. I know she's from the Church and has a Sacred Gear from what the Fallen Angels said...I thought she'd be different to what I'm seeing right now. Unless she truly is the best actress in the world...I have a feeling that she's just being genuine, still makes me wonder why she would be with the Fallen Angels, and what circumstances she finds herself in now. Lets find out a bit about this girl..."
While he wasn't sure, he was coming closer to a conclusion.
However, he felt something else might be off about Asia.
The fact that her, a sweet girl, was meeting up with the Fallen Angels, something didn't add up.
Something he was going to try and find out about, wanting to make sure that the people of the town would be safe, and those who he cared for the most were safe as well.
Sitting down in their usual meeting place, Zephyrdor and Diodora were discussing the next moves they were going to make. Discussing what Freed was going to do, how they were going to proceed with their plan to take down Haruki.
"Then, I'll be making a move against the current heir for your clan, Zephyrdor. Soon, they shall be deceased."
Zephyrdor smirked.
This was what he wanted all along.
The power, and the recognition that he believed he should be getting.
"Right, and I'll make sure that I'm well seen when it comes about, so no one can pin it on me. I'll probably be a suspect at first due to my public dislike for the way they runs things. But, if I've got many witnesses, then nothing is going to happen to me."
Zephyrdor seemed sure of his words.
To the point that he even seemed relaxed by the fact that someone in his family was about to be killed.
Diodora didn't show it on his face, but he had some other plans about that.
"Yes, then we'll make a move against Asia, and bring her towards me, and you'll get the chance to finally have that boy, Haruki killed. Are your peerage behind you in your moves?"
Zephyrdor nods his head.
"Yes, I am prepared, and so are my peerage. They back me one hundred percent. We wont fail against that damn Haruki, he will be gone. Maybe Serafall-sama will thank us one day, she doesn't want to have that as a Queen surely."
Diodora could see how he was giving into his rage.
It was exactly how Diodora wished.
Even if he died, as long as he got Asia, then he didn't care about what happened to Zephyrdor.
Asia to him was a game, and she was someone that he desired.
He wasn't going to allow anyone to stand in his way...least of all a Fallen Angel that had a Longinus.
Even as a reincarnated Devil, Diodora never could accept Haruki as such, and always saw him as a Fallen Angel, but unlike Zephyrdor, Haruki didn't occupy his thoughts that often, and only did right now due to him standing in the way for Asia.
One day or another, even if Zephyrdor suffered, he'd do his best to get Asia, and if he could have Haruki killed along the way, then he was happy about that.
End chapter!
So, a few things happened this chapter! With Haruki using his own unique brand of torture to get the information out of Dohnaseek. He also captured the remaining Fallen Angels, who may be back in the future, for now though they've been captured. Isane went to the Occult Research club, learning a few things about the Devils life, Rias offering her a spot on the peerage, while also learning a few contracts that Haruki does for some people~ Serafall went back to the Underworld, taking the Fallen Angels with her, and at the end, Asia appeared! With the Fallen Angels now gone, how the rest of the arc is going to shape up, we'll see soon~
Well, until next time, thanks for reading!
