*First I want to apologize if last chapter or any other chapter hasn't been satisfactory. I apologize and will try to do better*
"What's wrong?" Asked Juusa as she had seen Antonio sitting down on the couch.
"I don't know Juusa, It feels like it's been awhile since I've really done anything for you girls at all. I don't want you all to think that I'm just using you for sex or just talking to you when it's beneficial for me." Replied Antonio "I don't want you girls thinking that way."
"Jeez." Said Juusa as she sat down next to him "I would never think of you in such a way. That doesn't fit your character to use Sekirei in such a way. Though Yomi doesn't mind being used in such a manner."
"I heard that!" Said Yomi as she opened the fridge to get a water bottle while wearing t-shirt and white and red panties.
"I'm just kidding. But in all seriousness, we know that you wouldn't treat us in such a crude way. I don't think.."
"That's it!" Said Antonio as he shot up from the couch, startling Juusa a bit.
"W-What is it?" Questioned Juusa. Antonio had gently lifted her up off the couch by taking her hands
"Since tomorrow we aren't doing anything, how about I take you all out to the Kawakami mall and buy you girls whatever you want and then we can go to dinner afterwards." Said Juusa causing her eyes to widen. When she was winged by Natsuo, she never had the opportunity to do such things, but with Antonio, she feels as if everyday was a new adventure.
"Yes that's sounds great!" Said Juusa.
"Yeah that does sound great." Said Saki as she turned the corner holding her 3DS in hand. "The new Pokemon game comes out tomorrow, so let's get a early start on tomorrow."
"The creatures on the game are cute." Said Akitsu with a smile on her face, causing Antonio and Juusa to sweatdrop as they chuckled shyly.
*I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE MENTIONED ANIME NOR ITS CHARACTERS*
Speech: "Home is where the heart is."
Thoughts: 'Can i really go through with this?'
Whispering: "I will do anything and everything I can do to help."
Beyond The Wings Of Fate
Confronting A Love Confession
Miya couldn't sleep whatsoever, the images of what happened in the underworld kept popping up in her mind, over and over and over again.
"After this much time has passed, I never thought I would see that again." Said Miya to herself. She looked to her right to see a picture of her and Antonio and next to the picture was a box that held her ring in it. 'Maybe some sleep will make me feel better.' Thought Miya as she grabbed her pillow, dug her head into it and fell back to sleep.
Shimazu Dorm
Momoyo was tossing and turning on her futon with a feeling of dread.
'Maybe it wasn't right of me to give him that letter. No! I know I did the proper thing. What if he never talks to me again?' Thought Momoyo 'He isn't losing any sleep, so neither should I.' Said Momoyo as she turned to lay on her back. 'I just hope things between me and him aren't awkward now.' Momoyo hoped.
Kuoh Academy Suite
"You shouldn't have gone and dragged him into the business of Devils, maybe it would've been fine if he were one himself but he's a human." Said Rias in a slightly different tone that caused Asia to lower her head in guilt.
"G-Gomen Buchou, It just that everyone was so upset by you being gone and I didn't know what else to do." Replied Asia in a gentle tone of voice. "I didn't know what else to do, I remembered him telling me that if I needed his help with anything, I should seek him out, I.." Asia stopped as soon as she noticed Rias sticking out her index finger, next thing she knew, Rias had flicked her on the forehead.
"As long as you know to never do that again." Said Rias "Most likely the underworld will be thrown into an uproar knowing that a human cloaked in white defeated a high class, Pure-Blooded devil." Said Rias
"I'm really sorry." Said Asia in an apologetic tone of voice, almost as if she knew she was going to receive some form of punishment.
"I didn't say you were in any kind of trouble did I?" Said Rias. "Come on, let's go to sleep, we got a busy day tomorrow." Asia agreed as she went to bed.
Elsewhere
"Hey Vali, the underworld is in such a big uproar." Said Kuroka "Everybody is saying that a human, clocked in white with golden eyes managed to beat Riser."
"Seriously? I thought you were actually doing some actual information gathering, but seemed as if you only found out information that'll make you more interested in him!" Said Bikou as he started to laugh. Kuroka had then tilted her head slightly, closed her eyes and smiled.
"Bikou have I ever told you that you would be much more better with your head ripped off your body." Said Kuroka in her normal tone of voice.
"I would very much like to have parts of my body stay attached like they are, thank you very much." Said Bikou as he sweatdropped. Vali ignored the antics of his teammates as he was just thinking to himself.
"What are you thinking about Vali?" Asked Albion "It's rare to see you this quiet."
"Just thinking about something. Hey Kuroka, did they say anything else about this humans appearance?" Kuroka felt that Bikou was saved and decided to spare him for now.
"All that was really mentioned was that he wore black gloves with a white symbol, and glasses. Ring any bells?" Asked Kuroka sarcastically causing Vali to smirk.
"I think it's almost time we make our aquatintence, what do you all think?" Asked Vali as he turned to Kuroka and Bikou.
"I think it sounds like a lovey Idea." Replied Kuroka.
"Anything sounds better than dealing with crazy, deranged cat lady over here." Said Bikou as he stretched his arms out.
Kawakami City Mall
"Woah look at the size of this place!" Said Katsuragi in her casual clothes as she tried to take in the size of the mall and the amount of people inside the open theme mall. "This is nothing like the shopping districts back home."
"I hope this place has tasty new snacks I can try." Said Hibari.
"Careful, there might be creeps leaking around." Said Yagyū, causing Hibari to smile.
"Well I know I'm safe when you are around Yagyū-chan." Replied Hibari, causing Yagyū's nose to bleed.
'She's so damn cute!' Yagyū thought to herself.
"The Kuki corporation were so kind as to give us these cards with no spending limit." Said Ikaruga "It would be rude of us to try and take a.. KYAAA!" Ikaruga yelled at the suddenness of Katsuragi groping her.
"Awh lighten up, it would be rude of us to not make full use of these cards!" Said Katsuragi.
"Still!" Protested Ikaruga, she then had noticed to her right that Yomi and Crimson squad, along with Murakumo, and Ryōbi of Gessen and Hebijo were already heading in. "Jeez let's go in already."
"Hai!" Said Katsuragi and she made Ikaruga's face red by gently slapping her ass.
"Katsuragi!" As the Hanzō girls had made their way inside of the busy mall. Antonio, Chiho, and his Sekirei who were dressed in casual clothes finally made it to Kawakami City Mall.
"Hey Master, what's the matter?" Asked Akitsu. Antonio had looked ahead of him to see the people he most truly cares about walking with each other, laughing and having a good time. "Master?"
"I'm sorry." Said Antonio, confusing Akitsu. "About what happened in the underworld, my willingness to help Issei and the others even though it really didn't concern me could've put you and everyone else I love in danger. That's why I'm sorry. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if anything bad happened to you and the others, I.." Akitsu walked infront of Antonio and wrapped her arms around his head.
"Nothing bad will happen to us." Said Akitsu softly to Antonio. "You did what you thought was right and you always keep your promises to help others. Just like you helped me when you became my Ashikabi, releasing the chains that kept me bound, being unable to have an Ashikabi."
"A-Akitsu." Said Antonio softly
"We can protect ourselves, I live to make sure that you can keep on living Antonio. The Sekirei Crest I have is proof that I will brave any storm for you. We all feel that way." Said Akitsu
"Still! What if something were to happen." Replied Antonio.
"We will deal with it when it happens then." Said Akitsu "Until then, know that you kept true to your word." Akitsu then kissed Antonio on the cheek, causing him to blush. "I like it best when you are the usual, smiling self, Antonio." Said Alitsu with a warm smile.
"Ehh, what's going on over here?" Said Saki as she walked up to the pair. "Anyways, Akitsu, there is sure to be a GameStop here so let's go!" Said Saki as she grabbed Akitsu's hand.
"Oi!" Before Antonio knew it, Saki and Akitsu had disappeared from sight. "Well, listen everybody, try not to get into too much trouble."
"That means you pinky." Chimed in Haihane as she remembered clear as day when she got into a fight with Momoyo.
"Damare!" Replied Benitsubasa, causing Antonio to sigh.
"Let's all meet there when the sun sets." Said Antonio as he pointed to a specific location on a mall locator that shows all the store the mall has to offer. His Sekirei agreed and they split off into groups and headed their own way.
"Ah Katsura-san!" Kotonoha had turned in the direction of her voice being called to see Chiho waving to her while also seeing Antonio standing behind her. Chiho then had seen Kotonoha approaching her with a smile. "I'm glad you managed to find this place."
"Kon'nichiwa Chiho-san, Antonio-san." Replied Kotonoha as she bowed in respect, causing Antonio and Chiho to bow back. "It wasn't that hard honestly." Said Kotonoha
"Well either way I'm glad you could come hang out with us." Replied Chiho with a warm smile. "It's always a great thing to hang out with friends."
"Yes you are right about that." Replied Kotonoha as she then had looked at Antonio. "Oh, what happened to your glasses?"
"O-Oh, they broke, so they are getting repaired right now." Said Antonio as he chuckled afterwards knowing he had to come up with a lie on the fly.
"That's unfortunate." Replied Kotonoha, then she noticed Chiho walking ahead of her.
"How about we do some shopping Katsura-san?" Asked Chiho.
Elsewhere
"Momo-senpai?"
"W-Wha?" Momoyo was shaken out of her funk by Mayuuchi as the Shimazu group was at another entrance to the cities mall.
"I asked what kind of shop you wanted to go to first." Said MayuMayu as she repeated herself.
"Where ever you guys want to go, all I know is that I'm just hungry." Replied Momoyo. After she yawned, Yamato couldn't help but to think heavily to himself.
'Neesan has been pretty out of it lately, probably just the lack of sleep. Hopefully today will be the day I will give her the gift I bought her and make her change her mind about being with me.' Thought Yamato 'Before today is over, I'll try once more to convince her!'
"Oh my, this mall is pretty big." Said Akeno while she was wearing her casual clothes. Issei couldn't help but to examine her, along with Rias, Xenovia, and Asia. Seeing their cleavage made him start to think perverted thought of having them just taking off their tops and just rubbing their tits on them.
"We are here to relax but this is also a form of training." Said Koneko as she approached Issei.
"Huh, what kind of training?" Asked Issei curiously.
"If you as so much as have any perverted thoughts." Koneko grabbed Issei's collar and pulled him down to her level "I'll have to beat you up so bad that you won't even want to have any nasty thoughts, got it?" Asked Koneko.
'Getting hit by Koneko might not be so bad.' Thought Issei as he tried to sneak a peek through Koneko's too but had stopped when she could feel her death grip get even tighter than before. "Alright, Alright! Just let me go." Replied Issei as he felt Koneko release him.
"It's for your own good senpai, I'm going to reform you so that boobs won't be taking up too much storage in that already little brain of yours." Said Koneko causing Issei to sigh and Kiba to chuckle.
"Don't worry Issei, I'll help also." Said Kiba.
"Looking forward to it." Said Issei sarcastically.
"Don't worry partner, it's for the best." Said Issei's ally and boosted gear, Ddraig. "Heaven forbid that your mass perversion will cause me to be known as something other than the Red Dragon Emperor that struck fear, for much of time." Said Ddraig.
"I'll also heal you of any injuries you might sustain." Said Asia causing Issei to sigh. Shirou, Tohsaka and their servants in their casual clothes were walking around, seeing the many different people in the huge mall.
"Hmph this mall seems to suite my tastes." Said Tohsaka.
"Well that'll be a first." Said Archer underneath his breath.
"Shirou, I'm getting hungry." Said Saber with her usual serious expression on her face.
"Ok, ok, we can find somewhere to go, when you are hungry there isn't any limit to what you can eat." Said Shirou causing Saber's face to turn red.
"Even though you are my master, I can't ignore what you just said!" Said a flustered Saber.
"Ochitsuku." Said Shirou calming down Saber who stopped flailing her arms in the arm from being embarrassed. "Still it would be better if Sakura-san and Rider could be here so we could all enjoy this time here." Elsewhere Stella had her arms wrapped around one of Ikki's arm while Shizuku wrapped hers around her brothers other arm.
"So where shall we go first Ikki?" Asked Stella, she then had noticed Shizuku tugging on his other arm.
"Oniichan wouldn't it be better to hang out with your little sister instead of your girlfriend?" Asked Shizuku. The two females were locked into an intense stare down that caught the attention of fellow mall shoppers. Kurono sighed at her students usual antics and decided to walk off.
"This place is definitely bigger than any of the places we go to back home." Said Minori as she was walking around taking in the sights and sounds as she interlaced her fingers behind her head.
"Yes, honestly it's a lot to take in at first." Replied Aki. Without noticing, Kurono had walked by her but the two had felt time slow long down as the two took the opportunity to glare at each other intensely. "Hmm? Is something the matter Minori?" After locking eyes with Hagun's director, she looked at her friend with a warm smile.
"Everything is fine!" Replied Minori with a big smile on her face.
Beyond The Wings Of Fate
"What do you think about this, or would you like this better?" Asked Benitsubasa to Haihane as the pink haired Sekirei held up two different outfits.
"Hmmmmm…"
"Well which one?" Asked Benitsubasa as she could see her friend have a thinking expression on her face.
"Neither, your taste in clothes are terrible." Replied Haihane.
"Damare! I swear I can never have an honest opinion if I'm out shopping with you." Said Benitsubasa as she placed some clothes back on a rack neatly and went to look for some different ones. Nanami, Yashima and Kuruse were in a different store next door looking at some swimsuits.
'Hmmm I wonder if this place has any saké around. I sure would love to have a new stash so I can have some with Kanzaki-kun whenever I want!' Thought Kazehana as she was walking around the mall. Her breasts were being ogled at by male shoppers whose faces were pinched severely by their wives or girlfriends. Outside a neighboring GameStop, Saki and Akitsu had walked out with sacks in their hands.
"Oh boy Akitsu I'm so excited!" Said Saki with a excited tone of voice as she pulled out the game box for Pokémon Sun out of her GameStop sack. "The latest edition to the Pokemon franchise with one hundred and fifty one brand new Pokémon."
"I honestly liked the Alpha Sapphire game you gave me." Said Akitsu as they sat on a bench together that was in front of the store
"In this game you can customize your character, though it is limited. This game has more than all of the other games combined. It's also based in a tropical region too."
"Tropical?" Asked Akitsu with a curious tone of voice.
"Mmhmm, and Antonio will love that Solgaleo plushie you got him." Said Saki with a confident tone of voice. She then had seen Akitsu taking the plushie she bought out of the sack and stared at it.
"You think so?" Asked Akitsu as she looked to see Saki's face.
"Most definitely!" Replied Saki. "Come on, we still got plenty of shopping to do." Said Saki as she pulled out her MBI black card. Takami knew the Sekirei would still be using their cards so she managed to keep those up and running so they wouldn't have to worry about tuning out of money since she is the new head of MBI. The rest of Antonio's Sekirei were either browsing clothes, perfumes or scented soap, shampoo. Antonio, Chiho and Kotonoha had all walked out of a clothing store. He had seen Chiho carrying bags that looked kind of heavy.
"Hey, want me to carry those for you?" Asked Antonio.
"It's ok it's not that heavy, but thanks for asking." Replied Chiho as she smiled warmly. Kotonoha had seen this and smiled.
"I've been meaning to ask, but how was it that you two met? I'm curious." Said Kotonoha. Both Chiho and Antonio looked at each other before looking back at Kotonoha.
"Well, before when I was terribly ill, I was expecting a visit from a good friend of mine. Then I seen her opening the door to my hospital room with Antonio standing behind her." Replied Chiho.
"You were ill?" Asked Kotonoha curiously? "I'm sorry to hear that."
"Yes but thanks to Antonio and his mother, I made a speedy recovery. That's probably why I think Antonio is such a wonderful guy." Said Chiho as she smiled warmly causing Antonio to blush.
"W-Well my mother is the one who did most of the work." Said Antonio. He knew that he couldn't tell Kotonoha about what really happened after he rescued her from Higa's hospital which is now under new management and how he raised Higa's office to find the cure for Chiho's disease.
"That's still amazing how that you and your mother helped her." Replied Kotonoha "Most guys wouldn't do that. Well the guys I know wouldn't.." Said Kotonoha with her head down.
"Hmm? Katsura-san?" Chiho had tilted her head at the sight of Kotonoha remembering a past she thought she had gotten rid of before being snapped out of her funk by Chiho.
"G-Gomen." Apologized Kotonoha.
"It's alright." Said Chiho with a warm smile. "If anything is bothering you, you can talk to me, and Antonio. We are friends aren't we?" Asked Chiho, receiving a head nod from Kotonoha
"Hai!" Replied Kotonoha. Chiho had seen a new store for girls and turned back to Antonio.
"We'll be right back." Said Chiho as she walked up to Antonio and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Then all of a sudden, Benitsubasa jerked her head up and lowered clothes that were in her hands.
"What's with you?" Asked Haihane.
"It just feels as if someone is getting the upper hand on me." Replied Benitsubasa, causing Haihane to snicker. "The hell is so funny?"
"Nothing." Insisted Haihane "Just hurry up, none of the clothes you buy will make your chest bigger than what they already are." Benitsubasa's face turned cherry red.
"Damare!"
"Don't get into too much trouble." Said Chiho as she walked with Kotonoha to the seemingly newly opened store.
'As If, I don't find trouble, it just seems I'm a magnet for tr..' Antonio's thought was interrupted as someone had accidentally bumped into him. "G-Gomen, I didn't mean to be in your way."
"N-No I'm sorry, I should've been paying more atten.." Momoyo had slowly risen her head up to see it was Antonio. The two had acted like if time was frozen around them, looking into each other's eyes. Silence ensued between as the chatter of nearby shoppers was the only thing that could be heard between the two. "A-Antonio."
"M-Momoyo." Was all Antonio could say. He knew that being silent wouldn't get them anywhere but nowhere. He had seen Momoyo having an embarrassed expression on her face so he knew that she wouldn't say anything.
"Momoyo."
"H-Hai?"
"We need to talk, like now."
Sunset - Riverbed
The wind was gently flowing causing Antonio's and Momoyo's hair to gently flow with it. The crimson eyed beauty placed some dangling hair behind her ear then looked at the sunset.
"You know, now matter how many times I look at this sunset, if it's to think or clear my mind, I always feel at ease." Said Momoyo. Antonio then had took in a deep breath.
"Momoyo, what, no more like why did you give me that letter." Asked Antonio hoping he asked the question right. He then had noticed Momoyo slowly turning her head to face him.
"Isn't it obvious?" She then had a smile slowly appear on her face "I-It's because I like you." Said Momoyo.
"Oi Mayuuchi, where's Neesan?" Asked Yamato.
"Oh she's by the riverbe.." Mayuuchi had felt Matsukaze shutting her lips because they had both seen Momoyo walking towards the riverbed together to have a much needed discussion.
"Oh thanks Mayuuchi!" Said Yamato as he headed towards the river bed.
"You messed up badly Mayuuchi." Said Matsukaze.
'This time, I just know it!' Yamato thought to himself as he was running towards the riverbed nearby the mall. As he was running down the street he had finally seen Momoyo. 'Alright now I can finally confess m..' Yamato had stopped as he walked a bit more and had seen Momoyo talking to none other than Antonio, he knew Momoyo's detection skills were insanely good but he felt that her being distracted would give him enough time to take cover and listen in on their conversation.
"Isn't it obvious?" She then had a smile slowly appear on her face "I-It's because I like you." Said Momoyo. The silence wasn't able to drown out the sound of the gentle breeze, slowly guiding the fallen leaves off a neighboring tree to the ground.
[Play Song: Tender Feelings - Sword Art Online OST]
"I've realized it now, probably since we were children that I've cared deeply for you." Said Momoyo.
"You probably mean care for me as a friend right?" Asked Antonio who was in disbelief, but was brought back down to reality when Momoyo shook her head.
"No. At first that's what I thought, that these feelings in my chest was just ones of admiration." Replied Momoyo "I never really got to express to you, well because you had moved away."
"I-It was due to personal matters."
"Regardless, when I had heard of the news that you had moved, I was deeply saddened." Said Momoyo. "As time went on, there wasn't a single moment where I wasn't thinking about you. Back then I was naive and arrogant about a lot of things that didn't make a lot of sense to me. Now some of those things are starting to become clear to me." Momoyo had taken in a deep breath "After all this time, I had a chance to think, to see what I was really feeling a fluke or not. You being away from Japan made me realize that I like you more than a friend." When Yamato heard this he could feel his heart sink into his stomach as he clutched onto his gift he had got for her.
'N-No way, she likes him..?' Thought Yamato
"It's funny."
"What is?" Asked Antonio
"Usually whenever someone were to hear that the Goddess Of Battle likes someone, immediately they think of it as some kind of joke. Like could she really know something else other than fighting?"
"Hehe, Well you did always like a good fight." Said Antonio trying to said a light hearted joke, he succeeded in making Momoyo laugh a bit.
"Yes I do, but I know that fighting isn't everything, well at least not anymore. What's the point in becoming the strongest, achieving great goals if you have no one special to share the moment with." Replied Momoyo sounding sophisticated enough to shock Antonio. "Being by yourself is a lonely feeling, not having someone to talk to make all your problems feel non-existent is an even more lonely feeling."
"Surely there has to be someone you are more interested in than me." Said Antonio, earning him a disagreeing nod from Momoyo. "What about Yamato? From what I knew, he had a thing for you." Said Antonio earning him a sigh from Momoyo.
"Yamato, I love him dearly, but our relationship will never be nothing more than what it is now." Said Momoyo, causing Yamato nearby to slowly freeze up. "I would be disgusted with myself for lying to him if I did accept his confession and ended up dating him when I have feelings for you."
"But you must know that I have a girlfriend." Said Antonio as he remembered the time he returned Minato's universe and remembering the time Chiho had broken down. "I can't just do her wrong." Momoyo felt a chill run down her spine.
"I-I know. I seen her the last time we were here. When I fought the pink haired girl." Replied Momoyo. "When I was looking behind me, I had seen her wrapping her arms around you and I had a thought about it but didn't want to assume anything."
"Then you must kn.."
"But!" Momoyo interrupted Antonio "Even though I wanted to get my feelings across to you, for some reason I'm ok with that."
"Ehh?"
'Neesan, what are you saying? You're ok with that!?' Thought Yamato as his fists were clenched together.
"I'm ok with that, as long as I can get my feelings known then anything else doesn't matter." Said Momoyo, causing silence to ensue between the two.
[Song END]
"I'm ok with that, as long as I can get my feelings known, then anything else doesn't matter." Said Momoyo. Antonio was about to tell her how foolish that was but remembered how Chiho wished for the same thing and was perfectly ok with him having so many Sekirei already. The only thing was that his Sekirei were ok with Chiho not Momoyo.
"Momoyo I don't know what to say.." Said Antonio.
"Ara, I think I do." Yamato had seen Karasuba approaching the two which made Antonio sweat bullets more than usual. "I was getting worried that something might've happened to you since we were suppose to be going out to dinner. But seems as if you are getting plenty of entertainment." Said Karasuba as she pulled out her phone.
"K-K-Karasu, what are you doing?" Asked Antonio as he had seen Karasuba sending out a mass text message to all of Antonio's Sekirei, he then could sense multiple hostile units incoming, thirsty for blood.
"I think we all should have a very long discussion about his at home." Said Karasuba, causing Yamato to run off which made her scoff.
Kanzaki Residence
"Thank you for taking us out Minato, that was quite the pleasant time." Said Tsukiumi. "But was it really needed to bring your harem out with us while you are trying to enjoy time with your wife?"
"Stop it Tsukiumi, you all are my Sekirei and I wanted to take you all out." Said Minato. He then felt Tsurara press her boobs against his back while embracing him in a hug.
"And I love that you are willing to do anything to make us smile Minato-kun." Said Tsurara
"She's right, you are really something amazing." Chimed in Oriha, with Katsuragi nodding with approval. Behind them, Yukari held hands with Shi while Shiina was talking with both of them as they came up to the front door. As Minato opened the door and they all walked inside, they had seen Antonio sitting on the floor in the living room, tied up in Uzume's veils.
"I wonder what Tonio-niisan did now?" Wondered Yukari.
Living Room
"Ara, quite the predicament, wouldn't you agree?" Asked Miya as she had seen Antonio getting released from Uzume's veils by Natsu's kunai and had sat on the couch, leaving Momoyo to stand up infront of the rest of his Sekirei and Chiho while they sat on the couch. "Momoyo-chan correct?"
"Hai." Replied Momoyo
'Well isn't this dandy! This broad picks a fight with me and now she is trying to get in all good with Antonio!' Thought Benitsubasa as Haihane watched her foot twitch wildly
"What's with you?" Asked Haihane "Mad because she has twice the size you have of boobs?"
"Usemasu!" Whispered Benitsubasa
"You must really love Antonio-sama alot! I can just feel it!" Said Musubi, causing Momoyo to start twiddling her fingers.
"So let me get this straight, you have feelings for Antonio ever since you two were children but since he moved away you never got a chance to express how you felt?" Asked Miya
"Hai."
"So you when you saw him again, all those feelings came at you at one time?" Asked Miya receiving a head nod from Momoyo. "Hmmm, normally under these circumstances I wouldn't mind it."
"R-Really?" Asked Momoyo.
"But the decision isn't up to me." Replied Miya "It's up to Chiho here since she is Antonio's human companion." All eyes turned to Chiho who was in deep thought.
"Momoyo-senpai. I can see that you truly care for Antonio. Seeing that he has a lot of Sekirei must be a lot to take it all at once. It was like that for me."
"It was?" Asked Momoyo
"Mmhmm, but I knew that Antonio had a great heart and they had all loved him because he did such a wonderful thing for them. He gave them the gift of not having to worry about the future might be in store for them. I think the reason why I like him so is because he is someone who is very understanding, loving and helpful."
'C-Chiho..'
"He isn't selfish and shows everyone here affection." Said Chiho "I'm sure he would show you much affection as well." Causing Momoyo to be confused.
"A-Are you saying that.." Chiho slowly nodded.
"It'll be a learning experience for us both but I know for some reason that you do not mean any ill intent." Replied Chiho "When I was little, I never really got to spend much time with my old family but now, I feel my new family just getting even bigger." Said Chiho with a warm smile. "Let's do our best to make Antonio happy. Momo-senpai."
Elsewhere
Mizuki was taking a nap when she had suddenly jerked herself up.
"Uwahh! Huh? Grandbabies?" Said Mizuki in a sleepy tone of voice before exiting her room to grab a drink of water.
Underworld
Just as Rias thought, the underworld was thrown into an uproar that Riser, a pure-blooded high class devil was defeated by a human cloaked in white with golden eyes. At first some of the higher class devils thought Antonio was sided with the angels but had sprouted any wings to back up anybody who went with that statement. While this was happening, back at Riser's estate, her sister Ravel could hear sounds of destruction happening inside of his room.
"N-Niisan?" Ravels words couldn't reach Riser as the image of Antonio's shadowy figure cloaked in his white aura and golden eyes kept repeating over and over again in his mind."I'll come back later to check on you." Said Ravel as she walked down the long hallway towards her own room.
'I've never seen him like this before.' Ravel thought to herself. At Sirzechs palace, he was sitting in his chair thinking.
"Is everything alright?" Asked Grayfia
"Yes. I'm just thinking." Replied Sirzechs. "Legends long ago told of a man having his figure cloaked in a white aura, sporting golden eyes as he protected a certain group."
"Group?" Asked Grayfia curiously.
"It seems as if I want to conversate more with this human cloaked in white." Said Sirzechs. "Knowing how word spreads fast, the Angels and Fallen might already be thinking the same thing as me." Outside of his palace, Vali had his balance breaker wings sprouted out from his back as he rubbed his chin.
"What are you thinking about now Vali?" Asked Albion
"Human cloaked in white, I know I heard that somewhere before." Said Vali
"Is it of any importance?"
"Definitely." Replied Vali with a sinister smirk on his face "Somehow I know this little rivalry is going to more interesting than you and the red dragon."
"Hmmph I'm looking forward to it." Said Albion.

Next Chapter is going to be action packed!
