THIS CHAPTER HAS BEEN UPDATED/EDITED
So I'm surprised myself that I have updated this quick. (The last time there was a 6 month time span). Although I'm not too glad about the length of this chapter compared to the last one, I feel like this is okay(to me it is anyway).
Reviews:
abbu1234:Sorry for the wait, but I hope you enjoyed the last chapter!
winddemon199: Well I'd get a little offended if someone insulted my friends and thought it'd be okay lmao. I'll agree with you that I feel like they shouldn't have been killed because I thought it would've been nice to expand on their characters more. Also, I was thinking of letting Raynare die, but then I scrapped the idea ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ.
qweenashleyfox: I did not abandon the story so whoopee for that, and I don't have plans to do that any time soon. I am definitely trying to update a bit more frequently (because I don't want to be that author who won't update in a couple years because that'd honestly suck a lot).
Chapter 15: Teleporting, teleporting everywhere
-Misaki-
Two weeks had passed since I had last heard from Azazel, and I am not sure if I should be concerned about it.
Either I just let it be, if he needed me for something, I know he'll be able to find me, anyway.
The most recent happenings in the Hyōdō household was that Rias had convinced my parents (somehow) to let a girl named Asia stay with us and that Rias' frequent stays in my brother's room overnight have become strange, yet normal occurrence I was getting used to.
Asia did not bother me at all, and I thought she was a very kind and sweet girl. When she told me how she and Issei met I laughed. A lot.
Intently staring at the Chemistry Notes in front of me, studying for the quiz tomorrow. I had actually forgotten about it, with the whole fallen angel situation. Then Hina reminded me and I almost freaked out in the middle of the room.
That was normally frowned upon in public so I just held it in.
It was pretty much me and my parents in the house right now, Issei and Asia had gone on a 'club trip' with Rias and her group so that meant he wouldn't be home for the next two weeks. Even though it probably wasn't a normal trip it didn't mean I didn't envy him for not having to deal with school work. Then again he'd have things he missed, so there was that. Plus I think they'd be getting back soon since two weeks had already passed but you never know.
"Misaki?" I heard a voice call, I looked up seeing my mother,"Try not to stay up late okay? It's still a school night."
"You got it," I replied before erasing something from my study guide, replacing it with another answer.
"Good night."
"Night."
A couple more moments passed before I decided to put away my things, I could look over them before I got to Chemistry tomorrow.
So I picked up my bag, and placed my notebook back into it, before laying down on my bed, looking at some phone games to hopefully help me sleep.
Soon I found myself dozing off, and then I feel asleep.
I opened my eyes to find myself back to where I first met Aeron, the colors were all the same, however instead of a table in the middle of this place (at least I think it was the middle), there stood Aeron. Almost as if he was waiting for me. And then right beside him was Cerberus, finally back, and his physical self/weapon form was back in my possession.
"Glad your back Cerberus," I spoke up, "I was starting to miss your annoying quips and banter with Aeron about basically everything throughout my day."
The devil arm grinned, "What kind of little trio would we be without the most important member of the group? The important one being me of course. I should also thank your little boyfriend-" "He's not my boyfriend." "-That without his help I wouldn't be here."
"He didn't actually do it to help me, you guys know that it's because Azazel told him to," I responded with shrug. Seriously what was with people assuming I was dating some guy just for being seen with him.
Aeron rolled his eyes, "I would think the most important of us would be Misaki, without her we wouldn't be here." Thank you Aeron for changing the subject.
I couldn't help but laugh at Cerberus' indignance, until Aeron cleared his throat, looking a little more serious.
"While it is good that Cerberus is no longer missing," Before the devil arm could interrupt with a smug remark, Aeron gave him an annoyed look before continuing, "But we must figure out who tried to take him in the first place and find the reason why he was in Rias Gremory's possession as well."
"I mean, I never had Cerberus out other than when I first got it. Azazel was with me that first time, and I don't think he'd hand it over to her that quickly, especially if he wanted me to have Cerberus as a weapon. Then I had it when Hina and I...got attacked by that Fallen Angel guy, but that can't make sense either. She was unconscious." I explained, although there was still some confusion.
'Well,'Aeron began,'I think it could've been Rias who had taken it, now that she's staying with your brother, but I feel like I shouldn't put it past your friend either.'
I stared at him blankly,"Now Rias I could understand, but what makes you think Hina would do that? I don't think she's familiar with anything having to do with the supernatural world at all."
'You'd be surprised at the things I've been able to sense,' Aeron replied.
"And what does that mean?"
'That she probably knows more than she's letting on,' Aeron spoke, "But this is only a hunch so you can't exactly make these accusations without letting someone else other than the ones that already know that you're not only a Sacred Gear wielder but that your Sacred Gear is the Left Eye of Darkness."
"So what you're saying is, either way, she's screwed," Cerberus responds crossing his arms, "Damn, that must suck."
"Wow thanks for the support," I deadpanned.
"So for now we're really just gonna keep this to ourselves?" Cerberus asked, "Along with the Vali guy and the Fallen Angel of course."
"Yes," Aeron confirmed, "If people found out Misaki was the Left Eye before she was ready, who knows what could happen. She's still barely getting used to some of her newer powers."
Before I could reply to either of them, I woke up.
With a yawn, I sat up. In my disorientation, I looked around confused, my one thought being,'What year is it?'
Grabbing my phone from the nightstand, unlocking it and wincing as the brightness almost blinded me.
It was almost midnight, and the year hadn't changed either.
Laying back down, I was about to close my eyes until I heard someone walking around my living room, their footsteps louder and not even trying to be sneaky. My eyes were now fully open.
I don't know why, but I decided to go downstairs and see what it was. Because that totally worked the last time, I mean seeing my brother with a hole in his chest was totally a pleasant experience.
When I reached downstairs I had realized I had nothing on me other than my phone, so even if someone had broken in, I'd have nothing to defend myself with.
However, much to my relief(which was surprising in itself), it was only Azazel.
"What are you doing?" I asked tiredly, I kind of didn't want to deal with him before the sun had risen.
"Well hello to you too," He greeted before sitting on my couch,"I feel like you should watch this."
Giving him a look, I asked,"Watch what?"
I didn't even get an answer before I was suddenly blinded and no longer in my house. Instead, I was now in this (very) lavish apartment. But I knew something was a little off with it.
A large flatscreen stood in front of us, the remote on the small coffee table nearby. I was on a large (yet very comfortable) couch. Some snacks were placed on that coffee table, and Azazel soon sat beside me.
"Well, are you turning it on? I don't want to miss it."
Blinking I reached over, grabbing the remote and turning on the television.
"Good evening, Everyone," A polite voice suddenly echoed, and the TV showed footage coming from Kuoh Academy. The sky looked really weird too,"My name is Grayfia, and I am a made from the House of Gremory. Today I will be the arbiter of the Rating Game between the House of Gremory and the House of Phenex."
As soon as those houses or whatever were mentioned, the screen showed Rias and the Occult Research Club and then some tall blonde guy who gave me the vibes of 'I am better than thou.' I find that very obnoxious when it comes to those kinds of people.
"and in the name of my master, Lucier himself, I will observe the game. And with Rias-sama's and Riser-sama's opinion, the game will take place here at Kuoh Academy, where Rias-sama herself attends while in the human world."
Then the voice, well Grayfia (whoever that was), was quiet. Now it was just the two separate groups getting prepared for whatever was going to go down.
A couple minutes passed, and then the familiar school bell rang, signifying that something was started. I turned to Azazel and I saw an amused expression on his face.
He then said to me,"Well then, let the games begin."
I almost facepalmed at how corny that was.
yes, I am making them watch the Rating Game because I headcanon 100% that Azazel found someway to watch it which is how he knew that Issei had the boosted gear.
Even though Misaki's gonna have to watch her brother get the absolute crap beaten out of him, I'm doing this for...science. It'll be in better explanation in the next chapter.
Probably.
