With those reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!
Kuroka's arrival!
Kuroka had been on the run from Augusta ever since their first meeting, which was a good long while ago, with her closing in on her more and more. Each time she tried to fight against her, the Old Witch would pull out a trick, and would stop her from progressing. Though Kuroka held her own, and always managed to get a few good hits out on the Witch, Augusta proved her might and managed to hurt Kuroka.
"Running again Kuroka?"
"Don't you have anything better to do nyaaa?"
Kuroka demanded, with Augusta giving a smirk.
"No, I really don't. Don't be difficult, and come with me."
"Everyone's in it for themselves aren't they? Why don't you do me a favour and get lost nyaaa?"
"No."
Augusta laughed, and summoned her purple flames to surround the target, that being Kuroka. Kuroka used her Senjutsu to try and dispel it, only for Augusta to dispel her Senjutsu with Magic, stopping the girl all together.
"Seriously...!"
Kuroka threw her head back, frustrated with not only Augusta and her actions, but also with the situation she was currently in.
She looked at the options that she had left.
She couldn't keep running from Augusta. She was old, but she was very skilled, and powerful. She couldn't hope to clash with someone of such power without coming out of it unscathed. Anywhere she went within the human world, she was followed.
She'd have to go somewhere, that Augusta couldn't easily follow.
That's when she thought of a place...but it was a double edged sword.
It was a place that she didn't want to have to become involved in again.
"Going to the Devils world...if I went now, then I'd be in danger...but, it's better than this purple flame wielding hag...Shirone, I wonder how you're doing right now? Do you think of me? No, maybe you hate me after all after everything I've done, what the Devils have said..."
Kuroka slammed her hands down, and created a thick wall of aura before her.
Augusta understood what she was doing, so she dispelled the wall, and shot flames for Kuroka.
As Kuroka was vanishing, the flames caught her outfit, and caused her body to become ignited, sending pain through her entire being.
But she did manage to get away, and that was the important thing.
It had been a good long while since Shirone came to live with Akira, and she was settling in rather well.
Though, there was one person that Shirone seemed to have some animosity towards, and that person was...Canis Lykaon.
"Nyan..."
"Woof..."
A stare off between Shirone, the name she would use for now, and the black dog Canis.
Their eyes met one another, as they circled one another, like they were truly like cat and dog.
Akira sat on the sidelines, together with Ravel, Akeno, Rias and Elmenhilde as they watched the interest between the two of them. It seemed like they really had something's that they wished to say to one another, but they weren't entirely sure.
"Ara, look at them go. Like cat and dog huh~?"
Akeno giggled out, Akira snickered, agreeing with a bob of his head.
"Yes, it seems to be~" Akira sang out, turning towards the young girl. "So, how's it being Rias-sans Queen?"
"Ara, it isn't so bad. Though Rias can be somewhat of a naughty girl sometimes, I also have to make sure that she's properly punished for it~"
Rias gained a slightly red face, embarrassed by the words of her Queen.
"Aah...Akeno, that's..."
Rias gave a shy voice, something that Rias usually didn't do as a result of what could happen.
"Ufu, don't worry Rias, I'm only explaining to Akira-kun about your habits of being a bad girl. It's okay, Akira-kun and I shall make sure you're sorted out soon enough~ Ufufu, I wonder if we could punish such a naughty girl~"
Rias almost slapped herself in the head, as Ravel looked towards Akira, albeit looking shy and with some red cheeks, as he bent towards Shirone and Canis, placing them on both sides of his body, petting both of their heads.
Akeno adopted a small smile on her face.
"Ara ara, Ravel-chan. Do I detect something inside of you for Akira-kun?"
Ravel did a spit take.
"W-What? No, not at all!"
"Ufufu, it is okay. Akira-kun is adorable, I think it's fine to show affection to adorable boys~"
Akira was rather flattered Akeno had said that, Rias looked embarrassed.
So Rias tried to deflect the situation from her, and think about other things going on.
"Ooh yes, I just remembered, we'll be going on a trip to Europe soon, would you like to come?"
Rias revealed, Akira smiled.
"Europe huh? Yeah, I'd love to come~"
Akira smiled out, with the young girl adopting a small smile on her face.
"Great, then I can't wait~"
Akira said with a smile, all of a sudden Elmenhilde yelled "Ooh my God Tara! Willow do something!" something that made most jump.
Elmenhilde placed her hands together, watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, worry on her face.
"Elmen-san..."
Akira called, Elmenhilde turned towards him with worried eyes.
"What's going to happen to Tara? That God woman did something...and Willows angry..."
"Do you want to be spoiled?"
Elmenhilde hummed, then shook her head.
"No, don't tell me. I'll just keep watching...Tara has to be fine, right?"
Akira and the others gave amused eyes, as Elmenhilde turned back to her program.
As they spoke, Diehauser came back, and looked towards them all.
"Having fun everyone?"
Akira smiled, nodding.
"How did it go Uncle?"
Diehauser scratches his cheek.
"Aah, right. Yes...ah, Akira, can I talk to you in here for a minute?"
Sensing the tone, Akira placed Shirone and the black dog down, before moving towards a different room with Diehauser.
Once alone, Akira and Diehauser sat down at a table, and peered at one another. Akira didn't speak as Diehauser began explaining.
"It was quite...lets say difficult, in trying to speak to those Old Devils. You know how they are."
"Yes...I can imagine they weren't for me having a peerage as they've said in the past."
Diehauser nodded slowly, and somewhat sadly due to the situation.
"Of course, that's how they are. However, I managed to finally have the Old Devils agree with me. You shall be receiving your Evil Pieces very soon."
Akira smiled softly.
He was very glad about that, and couldn't wait to begin with his peerage.
"That's great Uncle, but I'm sensing that there's some conditions."
"Easy to read, am I?" Akira shrugged. "Yes...well, I wouldn't say conditions, but they did stress about your future wife, and they've come to a decision. One that we've been offered, and by how they were acting, were quite insistent on us taking it."
Akira let out a breath.
He figured the Old Devils wouldn't allow it to be let go.
"Wonderful, so who is it?"
Diehauser nodded, and explained.
"Yes, it's Iryuka Glasya-Labolas."
"...Iryuka-san...huh."
Akira thought about it, and how it would be between the two of them.
"Because her family having produced a Maou...how to say this...they, the Old Devils, want her have children with someone like you, even with some human in them, they're hoping that they'd be able to become strong warriors for the Underworld."
Akira released a breath, placing a hand to his forehead.
"I see, they really don't mince their words, do they?"
Diehauser nods a single time.
"Yeah, you can say that again. I'm sorry about how it's turned out."
"It's okay Uncle, you don't have to apologize. But I'm more thinking of Iryuka-san. I mean, would she even want to marry me?"
Akira didn't like having to drag any others into his own situation. He was worried about her feelings. He could handle himself, and whatever the Old Devils tried to throw at him, but for others like Iryuka, he didn't want to have to make her go through unnecessary situations.
"Would you want to meet with her?"
Akira nods his head.
"I think it's only fair to see her head space."
"Then I'll have her brought over to the castle, so you can have a conversation."
Akira gives a thankful nod.
His mind cast towards Iryuka, and how she was feeling at that moment in time.
Kuroka managed to make it to the Underworld, and was using her Senjutsu skills the best that she could to throw everyone off of the track that she was there.
She was able to use them to the best of her abilities.
The burns she suffered because of Augusta, were something that had caused a lot of pain, and she had trouble concentrating.
To the point even Kuroka knew that she'd have to have them treated.
But she didn't know where to begin, or what she was going to do.
"Healing, healing...healing...hmmm, the Devils of Phenex...they have the ability to heal don't they…? With their damn tears or something. Yeah, I'll have to do it that way...so, I'll go towards the Phenex, and try to steal a bottle of Phoenix Tears...yeah, then I can make my escape from this wretched place. I want to go and see Shirone, but...it would be too risky. At least I know that she isn't dead..."
Kuroka had quite the inner turmoil, she didn't know what to do.
But she did hope whatever life Shirone was leading now, that she was happy, and that she could have a good life after all. Though she wished she could be apart of it, she settled on the knowledge that she was alive.
As that was going on, both Diodora and Zephyrdor were livid when they heard the news about Akira as they sat within Zephyrdor's room. It didn't take long for it to spread around the Underworld like wildfire.
"What is the Underworld even thinking?!" Zephyrdor snapped. "To think that they'd allow that mongrel to be with someone of my family! Diodora, don't you have anything to say?!"
"I'm thinking about it, I'm trying to understand it myself. Obviously it can't happen, I wouldn't allow any tainted blood in my family if I were you."
Zephyrdor tightened his hand, and looked ready to throw a punch at something, anything.
"Then what do we do?! ...I can't have it Diodora, him being apart of my family boils my blood..."
[Is that so?]
Both were stunned when a new voice came to them.
They looked around but couldn't see anything.
However, a small light shined in the corner of the room.
"Who's Magic circle is that? I don't recognize it being a Devils."
Zephyrdor began, with Diodora frowning.
"Yes, it does seem that it isn't a Devils."
Diodora wasn't sure what to think about this.
However, he felt something within him that told Diodora that there could be something interesting with this.
[You're correct, this isn't a Devils. But I couldn't help but understand the current situation going on isn't to your liking. With that Devil boy Akira Belial, and I would like to help you fix that problem of yours.]
"Why should we trust anything about you? We don't even know who you are!"
Zephyrdor snapped, while Diodora quietly listened.
[Yes, it might seem abrupt, but I've had my eyes on you two for a while. We have things that align, like our hatred for the half breed child Akira Belial. If you listen to me, then I can get rid of your problem for you.]
Zephyrdor's face curled downwards.
He believed that she was insulting him with saying that he couldn't do it and that they'd need her help. It wasn't something that made Zephyrdor want to comply, but Diodora on the other hand, was calmer individual, and he saw the bigger picture, and quietly listened to what this voice had to say...
A day later, Akira laid around his bedroom, with Shirone casually laying by his side, sleeping away, as Elmenhilde was off watching a show together with Canis and having a good time, Ravel came by so they could discuss the future of a few things.
"...To think that they want you to marry Iryuka-san, I'm surprised, but also I understand their mindset, even if it is something that I couldn't fully agree with myself due to the true reasons behind what they're doing."
"Yeah, well it isn't just my decision, I'll be meeting up with her later today, and discussing this very fact. I don't like having to pull others into this little game the Old Devils have going on with me."
Ravel could understand that.
"Yes, I can understand that. It is best to see where she's at currently, and how she feels about this. I'm sorry Akira-sama, it seems time and time again, the Old Devils are showing the worst sides of being a Devil, when there's many wonderful things. Things that they wont allow you to fully see."
Akira nodded a single time.
"Don't worry about it Ravel-san, my Uncle's shown me a lot about the world of Devils that isn't so bad." Ravel smiled softly. "But, I did want to ask you something's. If you don't mind?" Ravel looked intrigued as Akira continued. "I've been thinking about my peerage in the future since I'll be gaining my Evil Pieces quite soon. But have you thought about your own?"
"Hmm, it is tricky, and I haven't decided either way yet. I can always decide to get one later on in my life anyway so there's no rush for me. But why are you asking?"
Akira leaned forward.
"Well, I was thinking about us, perhaps if you'd want to join my peerage."
Ravel wore surprise on her face.
Happy surprise at that.
She hadn't expected that, so she was stunned, and couldn't only whisper "M-Me?" while Akira nods and explains the best that he possibly could do.
"Yeah, I thought it would be interesting for us to be together like that. I've observed your intelligence and your abilities, I think we'd be quite the team. I thought I should bring it up at least so we can discuss it further. My Uncle said that even before gaining the Evil Pieces, I should plan out my peerage members, and I think that starting with someone I've seen have many different and unique skills with, is a good place to start."
Ravel poked her fingers together.
She thought about what he was saying and could believe that they would be good together.
"W-Well, I don't know what I'd say...that's such a request. An honour even. After seeing everything you've done Akira-sama, it would be amazing to be on the same team as you. I'm just so surprised, I didn't think that you'd ask me that."
"You don't have to decide anything now, but I think we'd be really cool together. Besides that, I can see the talents you have Ravel-san. You said something about not shining once due to how many members are in your family with amazing achievements, but to me, I think you already shine very brightly. Because you didn't judge me right away and got to know me, that means more to me than you could possibly know."
Ravel smiled at the thought of being apart of such things.
She knew she'd have to think it over, it was her future that they were speaking about. It wouldn't be such an easy decision to make, so she felt like she'd have to mull it over with others, but she did like the idea, after seeing and hearing the exploits Akira had done.
It made her think of her own future, and what could be done with Akira and her together.
Later on that day, Akira met with Iryuka.
Iryuka was showcasing her semi stoic look.
It was a rather awkward meeting between them, and neither were entirely sure what they'd be doing.
"So...that's how the Underworld see it, should we discuss about the marriage itself?"
Iryuka was the first to speak up.
"...I liked how you handled Zephyrdor, he's the bane of my existence."
Akira raised a brow.
"Why's that?"
"He has done a lot to bring shame and disorder to my life and my family. Zephyrdor's actions are brutish, and he's also said some stuff to me in the past, so I have decided that I don't want to associate with that person, even though he is apart of my family."
Akira nodded slowly.
"I see. So now the wedding and all...obviously, it wouldn't be happening for a few years yet."
Iryuka folded her arms.
"To be honest, these kind of practices aren't something that I can really agree with. Though, I do know you've been taking care of Ravel, and helping her, so that is making it easier for me to accept."
Iryuka spoke, so Akira nodded.
"Yes, I'm glad to hear that. Also, I am sorry that this has happened, I can't say how good it would be for the likes of you to have to deal with the Underworld's practices. And if you are against marrying me, then I'd make sure that it wouldn't go through."
Adopting a half smile, Iryuka nods her head.
"I had a feeling that you might have said that, I am glad that you did. To be honest, I don't know what to feel, since we're so young. But we have to wed when we're latest eighteen years old, correct?"
Iryuka asked, Akira nods.
"That's what I have heard yes."
"Then, we don't have to decide anything now. Both of us are still seemingly uncertain about this, so why don't we for now simply go along with it, while also, if needed, find a way to break the engagement should any of us decide not to go through with it? I mean, I consider you a friend, Akira-kun, I just don't know if I have any personal feelings like that. Love right now, might be hard to grasp because we're young."
Akira was glad she felt the way that she did.
It wasn't something they would have to decide now, they had a good long time before any decisions would have to come of this.
So for the time being, they were going to make sure that if they wanted, then they'd be able to get out of it, and go from there to see what was going to happen.
Meanwhile, Ravel kept thinking about Akira's offer of her joining his group. The more she thought about it, the more she thought it would be really good. She could see how her, and Akira could really work well together.
However, in the middle of her thoughts, Riser came into her room. The door was open so he didn't have to knock.
But she saw his face seemed to be that of anger.
"Is it true Ravel?"
Ravel cocked her head.
"Is what true?"
"That...That half breed, he's decided to take you into his future peerage?!"
Ravel exhaled, and stopped her brothers wacky thoughts.
"First, no, that's not what happened. Akira-sama asked me to join his group, he offered me a place, that's all."
Riser huffed, folding his arms in a strong manner.
"I wont allow it. If you want to join a group, then you can join mine. I wont allow you to be with someone so dangerous! Haven't you heard the rumours? He beat up the likes of Zephyrdor, and his friends, and does as he wants. He even took in that stray Nekomata who's Onee-sama killed her Master."
Ravel could hear the worry in his voice.
The fact that he did feel worry, was something she understood.
But she also thought his worry wasn't warranted at all.
"Again, that's not true. They attacked him, we were there, and saw it happen. And he doesn't do as he likes, many people try and stop him from doing even simple things. Akira-sama took in the Nekomata, because she would be wrongly put to death for something she didn't do, he saved her life, and has given her a new home. You have it wrong about him, Onii-sama. Akira-sama isn't a bad person at all. People twist what he does, because they can't accept that he is doing things better than others our age. Because he's strong, they see him as a threat to their lives. Because he's smart, they think he's a diabolical genius threatening to destroy the Underworld. When nothing like that is true at all."
Riser pulled back.
Hearing Ravel's voice so passionate...it felt like there was something truly unique happening within Ravel.
"But...he's from the Church, you have seen those from the Church attack Devils indiscriminately. What if this is a ploy, and he's trying to kill those higher up?"
"At first, I didn't know about Akira-sama either, but I got to see his heroic nature, and what he'd do for others, he's a good person, but no one ever wants to see that, because they see half human from the Church, before they even think about who that person actually is. I must admit, I also might have thought similar things, but I took a chance, and I saw Akira-sama as a kind gentle person."
Ravel began, surprising Riser as she stood her ground.
Riser was beyond astonished by what was going on, seeing Ravel's strength was something he didn't expect.
She then continued after a few moments pause, turning so her eyes faced out of the window.
"I haven't decided one way or the other, I want to decide where my future is and Akira-sama said that it would be my decision in the end. He thought, and the more I think about it I agree, that we could become something of a good group together. His intellect and my own, I've always wanted to have a future where I could make a difference. Beside Akira-sama, I think that I can."
Ravel told her own truth to Riser, and how she felt.
Riser wasn't sure, if she was being blinded.
He himself, didn't like Akira, because he thought what others believed to be true about a human Devil hybrid coming from the Church, but he also wished to protect Ravel, and make sure she didn't make any mistakes.
Riser then left her alone, Ravel sighed and went on about her business.
While Ravel was deciding on what to do, she saw something very odd outside. She didn't sense anything, but she happened to look out when she saw a cat moving through her large garden.
She found it odd, so she made her way out of her room, and went towards it.
But when she did, she saw the cat sneak into her house.
"What the...the cat doesn't feel like its there...but, it was...it isn't Shirone-san, I don't think so. Maybe...but it couldn't be the other...I think Shirone-san can turn into a full cat...I guess she could, but why would she be here now?"
Ravel quickly made a call towards Akira as she followed the cat.
[Hey Ravel-san, something going on?]
"Erm, Akira-sama. This is going to sound strange, but is Shirone-san with you?"
She whispered to the best of her ability as she didn't want the cat to hear her.
[She is, why?]
Ravel was even more confused as she entered her house, and walked towards the way the cat went.
"It's just, there's this cat here, and I can't sense anything from it...I don't suppose you'd know...it can't be...but why would she be here..." Realization came over her, and she took a step back, but her floor creaked, the cat stopped and turned towards her, causing Ravel to feel afraid. "Akira-sama…."
Ravel called out, her voice lowering with each passing second.
The cat looked on, desperation within her eyes, and she knew that she'd have to make a quick choice, here and now.
"I was hoping to do this when they were all out...but, my injuries are causing me to feel more and more weak, I need them healed soon or I'm going to end up gone, I hoped they wouldn't notice, but I don't have that luxury now. Okay get the tears, then get out. Shouldn't be too hard...aah, my injuries, I don't know how much longer I'll last..."
As the cat contemplated it, Ravel heard Akira's voice come down the phone.
[Ravel-san, what's going on?]
As he asked, the cat turned into Kuroka, which made Ravel gasp.
"Akira-sama, it's her! It's the other cat girl! It's Kuroka!"
Kuroka rushed Ravel, who fired off some flames for her.
Kuroka managed to dodge out of the way, and grabbed the phone off of Ravel as Akira called out [Ravel-san, I'm coming!] but Kuroka switched the phone off.
She then took Ravel's hand in her own, igniting fear within Ravel.
"Listen to me Princess, you're going to give me some Phoenix Tears."
Fear built within Ravel, who didn't know what to say as a result.
"W-Why…?"
Kuroka tried to give her best dark scowl.
"Because if you don't, I'll kill you."
Ravel's bottom lip trembled.
Her eyes widened and she produced tears, to the stress of Kuroka who tried to back peddle.
"No, I wont actually kill you..."
"Aaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Ravel let out a cry, and dug her nails into Kuroka's hand with flames erupting from her hand, the cat girl winced "Ow." forcing her to let go.
But Kuroka pounced, and wrapped her arms around her, Ravel cried "No please!" as Riser came running down the stairs.
"Ravel, no!" Riser yelled, and turned his flames on Kuroka. "You! Unhand her right now!"
"Don't you dare come closer!" Kuroka snapped, as she held Ravel close. "Don't try anything heroic either! Now get me some Phoenix Tears and I'll let her go nyaaa!"
Kuroka hated doing this, but right now, the Underworld saw her as an enemy, so she had to do it.
Riser grit his teeth, while Ravel gave panicked eyes.
"Onii-sama, please don't do anything!"
"But Ravel, what if-"
"She might do something if you do! Just stay there and do as she says!"
Kuroka hated she had to do this, she wasn't really wanting to do anything with Ravel, she only wanted to be healed.
As she did this, Riser hated he couldn't do anything.
While doing that, a shadow expanded behind Kuroka, who didn't notice due to her weakened state.
That was until Akira grappled her arms, and called "Run Ravel-san!" as Ravel was freed, who in turn happily yelled "Thank you Akira-sama!" and got away, going towards Riser, who hugged his sister tightly, while his eyes went towards Akira, seeing that he had saved his little sister.
"Nyaaaaa?! What the hell?! A cute boy is attacking me!"
Kuroka panicked, and pushed against Akira the best she could, but his physical strength outweighed her own.
"That's enough! Calm down!"
"Get off me cute boy!"
Kuroka tried to kick his leg, but he moved out of the way, only for Kuroka to release Senjutsu up close, blasting Akira back a little bit, enough to get her free.
She then turned to see Akira producing a sword.
"Kuroka, calm down. I just want to talk."
Kuroka looked left and right.
She knew the other Devils would be here soon, and she'd be done for.
"Don't you dare follow me, or you'll get it! I promise that you will!"
She turned, and jumped out of the window, to everyone's confusion.
"Ravel-san, you okay?"
Akira asks, Ravel runs over, and hugs him tightly, Riser looks on to see his little sister being comforted by Akira.
"Akira-sama, it was...I was...but what does she want…?"
"I don't know, but I'm going for her. I can track her with a spell I put on her when I got her off of you. Ravel-san, stay here, and call for my Uncle, and the Maou's okay? I've got Canis staying with Shirone-san just in case."
"Yes...Akira-sama, be careful."
Akira nods, and shoots out of the window.
Using his incredible speed, he shot across the driveway and into the woods nearby.
Running for a few miles, it seemed Kuroka was rather quick.
But Akira thanks to his state of not being injured, he was able to catch up to her pretty quick.
When he got into a clearing, he saw a power bursting out for him.
So he turned his blade, and cleaved through it, causing Kuroka to grimace when seeing him.
"I see, so the Devils have cute boys come after me now? Why didn't I meet someone so cute when I was in the Underworld my first time huh nyaaa?"
Kuroka gave a mixture of a teasing and curious voice, wasting time so she could try and make her own kind of escape, she knew that she would have to be tactical, or she wouldn't be capable of doing anything other than failing to Akira, as she could sense he held a good deal of power, and in her current condition, she could feel that she wouldn't be able to win.
"I didn't think I'd meet you face to face like this, Kuroka-san."
"You speak as if you know me?"
Akira shakes his head.
"I don't know you, but I know of you. Shirone-san, she lives with me now."
Kuroka wore surprise on her face.
"...Why does she live with you?"
She didn't demand, but she wanted to know why Shirone was with Akira, so the young man himself told her why, trying to discern the real Kuroka and what she was feeling at this moment in time.
"After you left, the Devils wished to kill her. She and I met by circumstance, and she got away. We found one another, and I managed to save her with the help of some others. But, why are you back in the Underworld? Why did you target the Phenex's? Because you're injured?"
Akira noticed the burn marks on her flesh, they looked recent enough that he thought that she'd be in quite a bit of pain.
"What does it matter to you, Devil boy? You're only going to turn me in!"
Kuroka lunged at him, but because of her injuries, Akira was able to avoid her quickly, and got behind her.
His blade pointed at her, but she wasn't out of tricks, and caused the ground around Akira to become like mud, sinking his form down.
She took that chance to try and escape, only for black blades to erupt from the shadows the trees cast, and created an inescapable wall that hindered her movements enough that even she was stunned.
"What are these black swords? I sense a good deal of power from them...wait, is this a famed Longinus? I heard of one that can produce black swords, is this yours?"
She mused, as she turned to see Akira escaping her mud by having blades shoot him out from the shadows on the ground, lifting him along, and went towards her, flying at a rapid pace for the young girl.
When he didn't confirm, she giggled.
"So it could be a Longinus huh. That means you're a special child nyaa. That's interesting, I can't wait to explore it even more~"
As she contemplated it, she moved her fingers as if she was writing in the air, and created many illusions of herself appear.
She thought that it might give her time to make some plans to escape.
But, she then saw the shadows around expand.
"Come forth!"
Akira caused blades to erupt from all shadows, and go towards the illusions. Adding Worthless to them, he was able to dispel them all before they could cause damage, and by doing that, he destroyed all of them, revealing the real Kuroka who winced.
"What? The black blades, and the power...to negate magic and such? Who are you?"
Kuroka asks, as she summons balls of Senjutsu, launching them at Akira, who weaves and evades them.
Using his sword, he cuts through some of them, and gets towards her body.
She attempts to use a barrier to stop him, but be creates a sword from below her, and shoots it out for her upper body, forcing her back.
She hit the floor, as Akira dispelled the sword, and held his own towards her body.
Because of her weakened condition, she couldn't put up much of a fight, though he sensed a good deal of power coming from her.
"I think that's enough, don't you?"
Kuroka grit her teeth, looking at the blade in worry.
"What are you going to do now? Turn me in?"
"Contrary to what you might believe, I want the truth for what happened. To me, you don't seem like someone that's drunk off power."
"Well, what else could it be nyaa? You could let me go if you want nyaaa. Though you probably wont, the Devils have made up their mind about me nyaaa."
Akira looked over her, and then bent down towards her.
"Maybe other Devils have, but I don't know what happened to you, so I can't say I've made up my mind. I don't follow what others say about people, I want to see who they are myself before making up any thoughts about an individual. Though I'm surprised, you aren't going to ask about Shirone-san?"
Kuroka's eyes shifted down, something Akira noticed.
More than anything, Kuroka did. But she didn't want to make it harder for her either.
"...She's alive, and she's fine, right?"
"She's...her trauma has caused her a lot of stress. But piece by piece, I think she's getting better."
"Trauma huh...that's my fault nyaaa..."
Akira looked her over.
If rumours were to be believed, then he wouldn't be seeing pain and sadness before him right now.
Kuroka wouldn't be like that if she was purely evil.
"What happened with your previous Master?"
"He wasn't my Master, I was under him, but I didn't turn into a Devil."
"How come?"
Kuroka laughed.
"That slimy bastard, yeah right. I saw his evilness for myself, and he didn't have the power to turn me forcefully. I didn't feel like being under his command, even though we came to rely on him."
"Rely on him?"
Kuroka huffed, and turned her head.
"It doesn't matter nyaaa."
"It does."
Kuroka turned back, baffled.
"Why?"
"Because I want to hear your story, from you."
Kuroka was surprised by that.
No one had ever asked for her story before.
"Why should that matter?"
"I heard the story that the Devils said. You went crazy with power, and killed your Master, but you don't seem crazy to me. You're hurt, recent wounds it seems. But I don't think they're from Devil powers."
Kuroka crinkled her brows.
"And if it wasn't?"
"Someone attacked you. Tell me, I can help you."
"All Devils have ever done are look at me to be used in their games. Used to fight their battles, to experiment..." Akira raised a brow. "...Are you trying to stall for time? Because you've won, I can't fight back, I feel too tired for that. I'm going to be executed."
"Tell me what happened. If you do, then maybe..."
"Listen boy, you're freaking adorable, but you can't help me. The Devils have made up their mind about me."
"Yeah, they did about me as well before even knowing me, but I am going to prove them wrong."
Kuroka blinked.
"Come again?"
"You say I'm a Devil, but that's only half true. I'm actually a human Devil hybrid. They didn't accept me, and some wished for my death as well."
Kuroka wore surprise on her face.
"They did? You're not lying?"
"I can't lie about my heritage. You have Senjutsu, sense me. I know that Senjutsu users should be capable of picking it up even if I tried to hide it."
Kuroka did what he said, partly to amuse herself and him.
But when she did sense human as well, she became shocked.
"...So you're speaking the truth nyaa..."
"Yeah, the Devils aren't perfect, actually there's a lot wrong with their society. The more I live here, the more I come to understand how Devils need to change. It's something that I'd want to do as I grow strong, and learn more about the politics of the Underworld. And you, seem to be a casualty of the current system of the Devils. Who would they believe between a Nekomata and a Pure Blooded Devil who offered his home kindly to you? At least, that's how they'd see it, but I never liked instantly believing someone because of who they are, I want facts, evidence."
Kuroka was honestly surprised that she had heard him say that to her.
She didn't expect it, and she didn't know what to do with it either.
"...You're different to other Devils nyaa. They wrote me off immediately, and made me out to be a monster. I couldn't...go to them and explain, why would they bother believing me nyaaa? I'm an easy target to blame."
Akira could understand that well.
A victim of circumstances.
"If you tell me what happened, I'll go to bat for you, I know my Uncle will as well. And others that hear your story, will go to bat for you as well. Besides, if you keep running...what will you do? Always run and hope you'll never be caught?"
"...I honestly don't get you as a person...but, I can sense Shirone on you now...she's been close to you...she is a girl that wouldn't become close to someone without a reason."
"Yeah...we became close because of our situations. And if you want to repair your relationship with her, then how about coming with me now?"
Kuroka didn't know what to do.
She couldn't exactly run, and she knew if she tried, the Devils would be right after her, and in her state, she'd end up dead. Perhaps with this chance, she could live, and she could be back with her little sister.
As they talked with one another, suddenly Akira and Kuroka sensed a strong power.
Turning, Akira saw a purple flaming cross coming like a rocket. Using his blade, he managed to cut through the flames, dispelling them before they could reach them, as he grabbed his phone and sent a signal to Lavinia, as he knew this was the person she was searching for.
"Ooh, not this bitch again!"
"You know who this is?"
"Only by reputation, and from what little we've spoke, she's the Witch from the East, the one that wields purple flames. She wont stop chasing me, and seems to want me for power. Talk about being a crazy hag or what."
Akira watched as Augusta descended from the sky, on a broom. Her hands ignited with purple fire, and caused the forest area to become a ring of fire around the pair. Hot holy flames that could reduce Devils to ashes if not careful.
"My, Kuroka. You have come to this child."
"How did you get into the Underworld?"
Kuroka demanded, Augusta smacked her lips together.
"I'll never tell."
Akira scowled, and moved forward. His blade danced with shadows, as he took aim towards her.
"Augusta of the Purple Flames."
"Akira Belial, the Wolf of the Underworld, greetings and salutations."
Akira sharpened his gaze.
"So you know who I am."
"I do, don't interfere with me, or I'll have to use my powers on you."
"Sorry, getting in the way."
Augusta let out a laugh, and turned her flames onto Akira.
"Alright then boy, two for the price of one it seems."
She shot off a cross of flames for him, which he dispelled with a swing of his sword, using Worthless on the flames. But he also noted the speed of the attack, it was something that he knew moments later, he would have been incinerated.
While he did, she used a transportation magic to teleport an attack behind him, which Akira narrowly avoided, only for her to appear to the right via teleportation and shot off a point blank range attack right for his body, slamming into him before he could activate Worthless, sending him flying through a tree.
Kuroka winced, as Augusta turned her hand onto her, with magic equations showing her power.
"Kuroka, you need..."
Before she could finish, she sensed power from below her, so she moved up in time to see swords shooting out from the shadows, and sliced her right leg, before Akira leapt up from the area he was sent, and came at her with a darkness infused slash of his blade, Augusta countered with holy flames acting as a barrier, but his Worthless cut through them, so she was forced to retreat.
"You can't escape Witch!"
As she did, Akira released a darkness energy slash towards her in the form of a crescent moon, forcing Augusta to disable it with her magic, being able to do so barely before it reached her body, still Akira was surprised she could get around his Worthless power, showing that she was a seasoned magician with skills that he didn't know about.
"Boy, don't piss me off."
"Sorry, gonna be pissing you off."
Akira replied, and from a shadow on a tree behind her, he called forth swords to come for her, only for Augusta to blaze the tree, incinerating the tree enough to divert the path of the swords for a few inches, enough for her to completely avoid.
As she did, Akira got before her, and gave a few slashes towards her. Ones that she teleported away from, though each time that she did, the blade came closer and closer to hitting her, almost as if he was reading the movements of her magic, or his skills in sensing were better than she had anticipated they would be.
"You're fast, for a child. You have good skills."
As she said it, she conjured up a whirlwind around him to fire him into the sky.
"Yes, and your reputation proceeds you."
Akira countered with his sword, and Worthless, dispelling the magic, only for Augusta to release point blank range blast of holy flames to incinerate Akira enough to make him become unconscious, remembering that she needed his power for her and the others plans.
However, the instant the holy flames were shot, Akira slid through a shadow, disappearing enough to get behind her, and come at her with his blade.
She vanished with a teleport, getting above him, and released a flamethrower like blast of holy fire right for his being.
"You know humans used to fear Devils! Not anymore!"
"And humans also used to burn Witches at the stake, maybe it's time to bring that back for you Augusta!"
Akira twisted his sword in the air, and cleaved through the flames before they could reach, however, Augusta used her magic to cause the ground to sink down more and more, opening up a hole and then closing it around Akira to trap him within it.
Or she tried, but Akira avoided it completely by leaping up, and flying with his Devil wings, slashing towards her several times with darkness enhanced waves of power, which Augusta managed to dodge, but made her pant ever so slightly.
"Damn, keeping the others away while we fight is magic draining. This boy is better than expected, but I can still handle him in his current..."
Before her thoughts could finish, she felt a new presence appear.
She looked up to see shards of ice raining down towards her, so she coated her body in flames to melt the ice before they reached her.
"Ah, so you have come, have you Lavinia?"
Akira watched as Lavinia came down from the sky, with many magic circles around her.
Her serious demeanour showed that she was going to end Augusta, who in turn showed a cocky smile right back towards her.
"Aki-chan, thank you for telling me about this Witch. You can leave this to me, get that girl a good distance from here."
"Lavinia-san, you sure?"
Lavinia nods, Akira does the same thing and takes her away with him.
Making sure to get a good distance away, Lavinia was pleased, and turned to Augusta.
"Augusta, chasing down the cat girl are you? Or is it Aki-chan you're after?"
"Hmm, that's a sweet nickname for the child. Aki-chan, that's so cute. He'll be even cuter when I reduce him to ash."
Giving a menacing tone, Augusta's words caused Lavinia to become angered.
"Sorry, you wont get that far, Witch."
She allowed her ice doll to fully appear, and create many pillars of ice, as Lavinia herself creates immeasurable amount of magic circles in the air.
"Is this a magic battle now? I do love doing them more than what the boy wanted, fighting up close like that, isn't my style."
Augusta responds by doing the same thing, along with shaping her holy flames into a giant with a cross on its back.
Each magician creates fire, ice, lightning, wind, light and darkness based attacks, and shot them off against one another. Each one is able to counter the others, but Lavinia's magic was more potent, and each time she got through one of Augusta's, Augusta had to waste her magic by using it to defend against the attacks Lavinia's got through.
The flames and ice clash against one another, with the ice doll creating pillars to send at the giant, which would melt under the flames, but the ice doll then would freeze the flames of Augusta's, and made sure she couldn't approach at all.
"Give it up girl. You wont kill me."
Augusta mocks, but then Lavinia moves her hand through the air, and creates defensive spells on her elemental attacks. Augusta frowns as she sees the barriers managing to assist in breaking her magic all the more.
So Augusta counters with her own magic, being able to create thick shields for her attacks, and then blast Lavinia attacks, the area becoming a mass of ice and flames, and other magical bombardments, with Lavinia having the edge on the attacks, and pushing Augusta back more and more.
"I told you, you wont win. And you shall return Glenda to me Augusta!"
"Glenda huh? That's your reason for being here? You can forget Glenda."
Lavinia knits her brows together.
"What do you mean?"
"Haha, if you beat me, I'll let you in on a secret regarding Glenda, or rather, her status."
"Her status...Augusta, you haven't..."
Augusta wagged her finger.
"I'll never tell."
Her eyes showed superiority as well as a sadistic nature, something that angered Lavinia.
However, before she could do anything, Augusta made a surprise encounter as she summoned what looked to be like a Minotaur. The Minotaur is around 4 to 5 meters in height, has a thick chest and arms, sharp fangs, and carry large axes which are bigger than the average human.
It charged for Lavinia, who was busy fending off Augusta's attacks, who in turn used her flaming giant to pin down Lavinia's ice doll, causing Lavinia to have no way to defend against the attack, causing worry to appear within Lavinia's eyes.
However, at the last moment, the Minotaur was bisected by Akira who came flying in from the right, Augusta's eyes widening in shock.
"Dirty trick Augusta!"
"...You returned boy...fine, Walburga, get me out of here. No point fighting two Longinus' in a single day, is there?"
Augusta panicked, and activated her teleportation circle to vanish via someone called Walburga,
Lavinia scowled and launched a full out assault, this time Akira grabbed her hand, and gifted his power of Worthless through her magical attacks, bypassing Augusta's own.
"Where do you think you're going Augusta?!"
Lavinia yelled, thankful to Akira to use his power with her own.
"Oh shit…!"
Augusta tried to slow them down with many magic circles, but only managed to buy her a few moments. Those moments proved successful enough to warp her away.
However, some of Lavinia's magical attacks landed, and caused heavy wounds on the old woman.
When she vanished, Lavinia's eyes tightened shut, while Akira looked up towards her.
"Lavinia-san, I'm sorry that she got away..."
"She was hurt, that's good enough for now. Still, thank you for calling me Aki-chan."
"Not a problem. Next time, she'll be stopped."
Lavinia nods a single time.
"Yes, you're right. Next time, she shall be stopped. But for now, what happens with that girl?"
Akira looks back and shrugs.
"I don't know...but, I'm going to help her."
"I see..."
Lavinia looked over Akira, and saw his kind heart, which in turn made her rather happy to see.
Though he was younger, she saw his gentle and generous heart that caused her own to become rather happy as a result.
A small time later, Akira met up back with Kuroka while Lavinia went back to the Grigori to report on what happened, who was sat on the ground as the Devil authorities stood close by.
They were arresting her for her crimes, while Akira had spoken to Diehauser about it, and he agreed with Akira, along with some others to get Kuroka's side of the story and the evidence that she had.
After hearing her story, Akira could tell that she was put into a situation that she didn't have many options to get out of on her own.
"Hey boy...I don't even know your name. The Phenex girl said something like Akira."
"Yes...that's my name, Akira Belial."
"Then Akira Belial, promise me something."
"What?"
Akira wondered, Kuroka adopted a small smile.
"Shirone...take care of her. Whatever...happens to me, take care of her for me. She...is a good cat nyaa. She needs a good person with her."
"Yes...I'll do that. But you'll get free, I'll do my best for you Kuroka-san."
Kuroka felt touched by that, and looked down at herself for a few moments.
She felt like he spoke the truth, she hadn't known him long...but a feeling she had inside, and sensing Shirone with him, she understood that Shirone placed trust in him, so she'll do the same thing.
"Also...apologize to that Phenex girl for me...didn't mean to scare her hehe~"
"Okay, I'll do that."
She bows her head, and awaits what's to come.
She then was taken away by the Devils, as Akira looked on.
He felt worried for her.
But he also knew that he, and others would do their best for Kuroka.
To make sure that she got fairly treated, something that he knew the likes of Diehauser, and Sirzechs would make sure of, and he'd do the same for her as well.
To make sure that she and Shirone would be able to come together again, that's what Akira was hoping for with this.
A few days later, Akira sat down with the cat girl beside him, his eyes drifted towards her, and adopted a small smile as he saw her playing with some yarn. Ever since being told about Kuroka, Akira didn't know how Shirone was going to react. At first, she stayed silent, almost as if she didn't know what to think.
Soon, she didn't mention anything about it, and seemed to keep her mind away from thoughts of Kuroka.
"Say, remember how you wished me to think of a name for you?"
The cat girl Shirone stopped, and looked into his eyes.
"...Yes, have you thought of anything?"
Akira scratches his cheek.
"I did have some in mind for a while, but there was one name I think suited you more than anything. And that is Koneko."
"Ko...neko?"
The girl asked with intrigue, so Akira explained.
"Yes, Koneko means kitten or little cat where I am from. I think it would suit you very well."
The young girl blinked at the reasons, before the girl tilted her head.
"...Because I'm small?"
Akira lightly laughed.
"Even small things, can be very strong. I think it would be a good name, what do you think? You might be small, but you've got amazing inner strength to deal with what you've had to go through in your life."
The girl thought about it for a few moments.
The more that she did, the more she quite liked the name.
"...Koneko...I like it, I want to become strong too, even if I'm small."
Akira was happy she liked it, and began petting her head, making her cheeks turn slightly red as he did so.
"I'm glad you like it~ So, how about it, Koneko-chan?"
Koneko looked down at herself, and couldn't help but find the name to be something that she did like in the end.
"...Yes, I like the name Koneko, I want to be known as Koneko."
Akira was glad to hear that.
"Great! Then Koneko-chan it is~ We can think of a last name later on, unless maybe you want too?"
"...No, I'll leave it to you, Akira-san. I trust you."
Akira couldn't contain his smile on his face.
He placed his hand on top of her head once more, she felt good from the affection that she was receiving from Akira, it made her feel a little better about everything that was going on.
"Also Koneko-chan, about Kuroka-san."
"...Onee-sama's in the hands of the Underworld...I don't know how to feel...she was...she did what she did...Akira-san...how am I...meant to feel now?"
"That's tricky...it's a difficult situation. I can't say how you should feel, Kuroka-san had her reasons, and it's up to you on what you want now Koneko-chan. If you want to forgive her, if not, speak with her, or not. All of it is your choice, and whatever you choose, I'll support you."
Koneko felt touched by his words, and silently embraced him, who in turn hugged her right back, giving her as much comfort as possible.
Though thoughts kept running through Koneko, thoughts that she shared with Akira.
"...Akira-san, what's going to happen to her?"
"There's things to answer for of course, but a proper investigation is going on, people that I can trust are going to conduct a fair assessment of her, and what the situation was, then we'll go from there. If she's free, she'll probably come and live here."
"...I see, so that's how it is. I...I don't know what to feel about her right now...but, I don't want anyone else to die."
Akira pets her head comfortingly.
"Yeah, there's been too much death hasn't there?"
Koneko nods, snuggling against his chest as he strokes the back of her head.
Just then, Diehauser came into the room, and looked towards Akira.
"Akira, are you ready?"
"Now Uncle?"
"Yes, its time to receive your Evil Pieces."
Akira couldn't be happier, now he was going to be finally receiving his Evil Pieces. It was a struggle, and a journey in of itself thanks to the Old Devils interference, but now he would finally have his own group, a group that he knew he'd be able to be proud of, and shine, to show the Underworld all types of people, and their different backgrounds, and form the best group that he possibly could form.
Meanwhile, as that was going on, within a certain area in Europe, a middle aged man with dark brown hair that's slicked back, wielding a Holy Sword, tread through what looked like to be blood stained dirt.
Beside him was a young boy with white hair, and wielding a light blade in his hand, a crazed look on his face.
These two were called David Cerro and Freed Sellzen.
Seeing different types of bloods on the ground, he bent down and saw one of his comrades having been defeated.
"Damn Vampire's, a stain on the world. Seems that they've managed to escape for the time being. But, nothing stops before my blade, and it shall be reduced to dust with my sword. Freed, remember your training, it's time to track down these unruly creatures."
David spoke in a manner that showed his indifference to the lives of these two Vampire's that they were chasing.
The Exorcist named David spoke with disgust, while Freed swayed side to side.
"Aah, Teach David, lets find these naughty Vampire's, and slash them down. I mean, there's only two of them, even if one of them has some weird eye power crap, and the other is a weird girl. Lets kill them quickly."
"Patience Freed, we have to remember even the seemingly easy prey can be dangerous if backed into a corner. Now lets go, together with my sword Galatine, and our skills, these Vampire's shall not escape this time."
David said with a cold almost robotic voice, his mind being on the mission before him.
Being able to finally slay the likes of these two Vampires that had been causing some trouble, he was determined to find them.
The two Vampires in question, Gasper Vladi and Valerie Tepes, were now in the sights of a very dangerous Exorcist…
End chapter!
So this chapter focused upon Kuroka, and what she's been going through. Having to deal with Augusta, and her business, managing to get to the Underworld, where Akira was busy dealing with his own problems with his fiancée being announced, among other things.
Ravel was somewhat attacked by Kuroka, though only because she was desperate, and at this point doesn't trust Devils. But by the end, after confronting Akira, and then seeing what he did against Augusta for her, and hearing what he did for Shirone, she decided to trust in him. Ravel also got a proposal to become apart of his peerage, so we'll see what's going to happen with that pretty soon.
Akira also became aware of who is fiancée is, and for the time being, have decided to go along with it, until they're older to see what it will be like.
Now, finally, onto the last members of the peerage. A good few people have suggested Vali.
If Vali did, then it would become five Longinus' in the group with Akira, Lavinia, Valerie, Lint and Vali, which I'd say in the beginning, would be quite powerful, later on in the series with the new threats that come about, it would become more balanced out with the amount of powers they'd be facing such as different kind of God's and the likes.
So yeah, final vote, should Vali be in the peerage?
If she is, she'd either be a Mutated Rook or Mutated pawn.
If she isn't, then I know who'll be the remaining members.
Either way, by next chapter, the peerage shall be complete! So if you'd like to, then please vote!
Well, until next time, thanks for reading!
Akira's peerage.
Queen; Lavinia.
Rooks; Koneko, undecided.
Bishops; Kuroka, Valerie (mutated).
