Chapter 14: Saved
-Misaki-
No one said anything, and no one moved. Kiba was on the defensive, a sword raised in front of him in one hand, while he supported Issei with his free arm.
"You took your time didn't you?" Issei spoke with light sarcasm as Kiba helped him stand.
The blond gave a small laugh in return,"Well Buchou told me not to interfere."
I didn't know what was worse, that I had a sword raised against me, or because Rias and Akeno walked out from Lord knows where, and that apparently I didn't exist. On the bright side I didn't have a sword nearly impaling me in the chest.
"Oh good, you won safely."
Well sure if safe meant bleeding from your knees then it's completely okay. None, not a problem at all.
Issei's cheeks turned to a pleased pink at her praise,"I did somehow," He spoke a little more cheerfully.
Rias leaned against one of the pillars before the alter,"I've finished with my own errands, so I decided to come by. Only to find Yuuto and Koneko fighting a few priests."
My brother looked away sheepishly,"I guess I worried for nothing."
The doors got shoved open, I'm surprised I didn't jump up by how loud it was. Looking over my shoulder, I saw that it was Koneko, and she was dragging something, well someone, behind her.
"I've brought it," She announced giving the person, that I now identified as Raynare, a light toss as she landed before us. And she was still out of it. Really out of it.
Rias gave a nod of affirmation, before looking towards Akeno,"Would you mind waking up our guest?"
Akeno no gave a small smile, to no one in particular which made me inwardly cringe,"Not at all."
A blue circle grew on the wall above Raynare, and then a large waterfall fell on top of her unconscious form. She had woken up coughing harshly as she got the water out of her system.
Rias gives her a condescending look as she fully woke up,"Well hello there Fallen Angel." She greeted with a not so friendly tone.
Raynare blinked, before a realization dawned on her,"The Gremory heiress," she spat in disgust.
"My name is Rias Gremory, I am indeed the next heir to the Gremory Clan. Yet despite how short this will be, it's nice to have your acquaintance."
Raynare's look of hatred and disgust, then turned into a sneer,"You foolish girl, I have my fallen angels surrounding this church. And if I'm in danger, they'll surely come and help me."
Rias shook her a head,"Sadly not, I've already dealt with them."
Alright, so am I just gonna stand here and watch? Or wait another thousand years so that someone at least a acknowledges my presence here?
"Liar!"
Oh come on.
After Rias decided to throw the three feathers that apparently fell of the three others that died (just kidding I saved them).
Raynare looked truly afraid.
"After one of your own attacked my dear servant, I had taken a guess that there definitely had to be more than one fallen in the area," Rias explained,"I at first wasn't going to get involved, even I'm not crazy enough to fight a bunch of fallen angels by myself."
Continuing, she said,"Then I learned from your cohorts that it was only a plan between you all just to rise in the ranks of the Grigori. I would've been impressed by their determination, if they weren't so cowardly by working in the shadows."
Ah yes, the big speeches before the big plan is taken out. Might as well wait, I'd be here for a while. They kept talking...talking...and talking.
So I took a seat on the church's wooden pew, at least one that wasn't smashed to pieces. But then the wood creaked loudly. All attention was on me.
"Are you working with them as well?" Rias asked, a threat laced in her tone,"Because if you are, then I will deal with you after her." She motioned towards Raynare.
To make matters worse, that creepy priest just came out from a hole in the wall. "Yes I still am here bitches," he spoke in a tired, yet annoyed, voice. He looked worse for wear, his jacket was torn in some places and it looked like his cheek was swollen.
"You there! You will save me," Raynare demanded, as she attempted to get up, only to slip on a small puddle of water.
I snorted earning a look from the fallen angel,"I don't work with someone like her." I spoke up,"I'm here because I'm following orders."
I could tell Rias didn't believe me, or at least not fully. Then again I couldn't blame her.
"Look, I really don't want to cause any trouble here," I began,"I'm just here to take her back with me-"
"Like hell you are!" My brother shouted,"She's got a lot to answer for!"
"And she will," I replied calmly.
"Well Priest?" Raynare asked, and she attempted to seduce the former Exorcist, causing him to laugh, much to her mortification.
"Oh please, I could never answer to some weak leader," He sneered,"So have fun Fallen Angel!"
A smoke bomb came from no where, and the priest was gone.
Raynare seemed to notice that in either situation, she'd probably get off easier with Azazel, so to my shock, she turned to me and kneeled.
"Please Left Eye-sama! Please save me!" She begged, her voice taking an innocent tone.
I didn't know whether or not to be amused at that.
Rias and Akeno heard her, and they looked surprised. I love getting that reaction from people.
"Are you really gonna let her get away?" Issei's voice asked angrily,"She killed me, killed Asia, and then nearly killed me again!"
"Wait a minute," I interrupted before anyone could respond to that, I turned my head to look at the Fallen Angel,"You killed him?"
"Well technically yes, and it was quite easy. I quite enjoyed seeing him in agony." Reynare boasted.
I sat once more on the pew,"Do what you want." I spoke. Now I really did not want to help her.
"What?!"
"You heard me," I replied arms crossed.
The other group seemed a little put off that I would let them handle Reynare, but her boasting was getting annoying and with the way the other Fallen Angels had described her, I didn't have much to like anyways.
"You underestimated this boy," Rias started again,"His sacred gear isn't like any of the ones you have seen."
Raynare eyed her confused.
The redhead continued,"You underestimated him, and that is why you lost."
She started giving the Fallen Angel a lecture about my brother's sacred gear, but I wasn't paying too much attention. All I got was her saying that instead of some Twice Critical thing, apparently it's called a Boosted Gear.
I guess it was something really important because of the look on Raynare's face.
"B-But how?" she sputtered,"Issei's so...weak and that power is enough to even kill God!"
If only you knew.
Raynare's was running out of options, and she knew that. What she did next however, kind of pissed me off. Actually it did.
She made herself look smaller, fake tears in the corners of her eyes,"Issei-kun!"
I internally gagged at how fake she sounded.
"Please save me! Don't tell me you'll forget about the time we spent together? It was special to me! I swear that I love you, look!" Raising her arm, she showed him the some kind of gift I guess my brother got her during one of their dates.
"We can defeat this devil! And we can be strong together!"
I could tell he was hurt by this, and he was really conflicted as to what to do. Then I saw him turn his back to her and give Rias a knowing look.
"Buchou, please...I'm at my limit already."
Rias raised her hand in front of her, a red glow coming from the center of her palm. She seemed very mad now,"How dare you flirt with my servant, especially with all you have done to him. Now disappear."
The Fallen Angel turned to look at me, now truly afraid of what would happen to her.
I ran, well sprinted. Carrying the Fallen Angel in my arms. I had changed my mind, something inside me wouldn't let her die, even though she probably deserved it.
She Was in shock, and was silent the whole time. Good.
Now how did we get here? Well before Rias was going to kill her, I used some weird thing called Witch Time, which is very cool in itself. Time slows down and everything. But now I felt kind of tired.* So no Cheetah Form for a quick escape.
I didn't know if I was being followed or not, but I didn't look back, not wanting to jinx myself.
When I finally stopped, I was only a few feet away to be out of the actual forest, so I set Raynare down and removed my hood.
"Listen, I don't know what you did entirely to those people, and whatever it was, it was probably really bad anyway,"I began,"But Azazel wanted me to help you, so I did."
"Azazel?!" She looked up in surprise.
"Yeah Azazel," I replied, taking out another transportation seal from my pocket.
"How dare you address him so formally!" She glared at me.
I rolled my eyes,"Anyway, this will help you get back to him," I started walking in my own direction,"Now you're on your own."
"Wait, you're just gonna leave me here and let me face Azazel alone?" She asked in disbelief.
"I would like to think that was obvious," I replied, turning to face her once more.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" She questioned.
I sighed, face palming,"Why would I help you? Especially after what you've done to those people?"
"Well I had my own goals set in mind," Raynare said haughtily,"It's not my fault they were in my way."
I glared,"You forced them into this life! You killed both of them? And for what so you could get some guy to notice you? So you could get a higher rank?"
"Who are you to question my motives?" Raynare spat.
"Someone who doesn't kill for selfish reasons," I replied instantly,"I swear if you even try to hurt him again, I will make sure all Azazel will get back of you is a feather and that's a promise."
Raynare seemed afraid at the tone my voice took, and I found that it was oddly enough satisfying.
Then when I looked around, I noticed there was a burnt red glow around my body, particularly near my left eye. If someone threatened you looking like that, I'd be a little intimidated too.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I have a quiz to study for." I spoke for leaving her alone.
When I got home, I saw that the lights were turned on still, which was weird because I knew that my parents were normally asleep at this time, seeing how late it was on the clock.
Upon taking closer inspection, aka just looking through the window, I saw that Issei was being helped onto the couch by Kiba, and the others were probably here as well.
Looks like I'll have to go around. Which is what I did, and I came though the back door, while I tried being quiet as possible.
These people must have bad observational skills because I somehow managed to navigate through them and find my way upstairs.
At that moment one of the wood panels decided to make the loudest creak as I took a step. I didn't even bother checking if they heard, I sort of rushed to my room, closing the door (which also decided to make the loudest squeak possible).
I heard someone come upstairs, as I threw myself onto my bed, concealing what I was wearing with the covers. Whoever came upstairs stopped by my door, opening it once more.
Stopping myself from tensing up, I evened out my breathing as if I was actually asleep.
It must've worked because the door closed, and the footsteps went downstairs. Soon I actually fell asleep some moments later, wondering if they woke up my parents from whatever noise they were making downstairs.
guess who's not dead in a trench somewhere? me.
I don't think I have any real reason as to why I haven't udated this since June, I guess because I wanted to focus on my studies and everything. (sometimes I did write a snippet of this here or there) hopefully this is long enough to satisfy whoever wanted me to update.
also time to explain a thing!
*: You know how in the game itself, if you have the Bracelet of Time, equipped, if Witch Time is activated manually, Bayo/Jeanne/Rosa slowly use magic, yeah well in this type of thing since Misaki's still learning, she just used Witch Time manually, so she's obviously gonna be tired to use magic to transform into a cheetah. And overexplaination done!
Until next time! (whenever that may be lmao)
