Chapter 4: I Think I Know That Guy... Whatever.


The blonde haired boy adopts an exasperated look and then reaches for my arm. He immediately speaks and I notice it is in Italian so he is one of the Devils. "What happened to you?! I never seen burns so bad before. We need to get you a doc-"

I cut him off and then chuckle. "Don't worry devil boy... I'm just fine here. Guess you are with Rias' group right?"

He narrows his eyes a bit and then it seems to click for him. "Ohhhh I remember who you are. Koneko told me to keep a lookout for a guy with some burns, I guess that is you then. Well if you know Rias am I correct that you just met her recently?" He says as he crosses his arms. Guy seems familiar, but I can't place it.

I gave him a nod. "Yep." I pop the 'p' on that. "Just left her and Sona in the student council room. Currently looking for the bathroom now and then I'm heading back to them. Wanna show me the way? Could use a bit of company I guess." If I keep talking with him, then maybe it'll click why I know him. If not then oh well.

He gives me a nod and then starts to take the lead. "Sure. So how long have you been in Japan? Also my name is Kiba Yuuto, but you can call me Kiba if you want to. If you are working with them then we may as well be cordial with one another." He says as I walk behind him and then move to his side and keep walking with him.

"Yeah that's no problem. Can't say your name rings any bells, but you seem familiar to me. Probably nothing, but anyways, my name is Luca. Good to meet you. I'm here to handle your newfound Stray exorcist problem." I say with a little sarcasm at the end.

"Heh... that name does make me remember someone I used to know, but they died... a long time ago." I pat his back real quick and he stops for a bit.

"Didn't mean to bring up some bad memories Kiba. Just call me Lu or something if it helps you better." I say and he gives me a nod and a small smile.

"It's no trouble. I was gonna settle for burns, but I think that works." This sassy bitch... I can't help but snort at that. Kiba laughs a little as well and we continue walking. "Well jokes aside I am glad to have some help with dealing with any of those guys. Didn't know we had any here, but with you giving us the heads up then we can be better prepared. As you probably know the Holy attribute is deadly for a Devil. Even the smallest cut can spell death for a few of us."

"Yeah. I had to hunt some strays for a Devil family that was giving me information for a bit. I used a few holy objects like crosses and holy water at first, but now I just burn them. Much more effective in my opinion, but holy stuff sure isn't pretty to look at on a Devil." I agree with him as we keep on our way. Can't place where I know him from, but he is a cool guy. Might try to talk with him more. "Well for the Exorcists though there is a guy among them I am hunting. I'm still gonna help you all deal with them for personal reasons, but main goal is a failed experiment from the church named Freed. Your king in the Peerage will fill you in more on that, but yeah, gotta hunt him down."

"Not a fan of the Church are you? A lot of us are the same. Why are you against them?" He asks and looks to me with a raised eyebrow.

"My friends, no my family, were killed by them after they seen we were a failed experiment. I'm hunting the director of the experiment and I'm gonna burn that bastard to ash so that all of them can rest easy... and I can finally clear my head of these storm clouds." I say as I look at my hands and they ignite and extinguish.

He nodded and we talked about little things on the way there like what I thought of Japan so far and some hunts for strays. We stayed on that topic until he started talking about swords and I just shook my head and laughed at his obsession with them. I told him I used a sword once or twice and now he wants to fight me to see where we stand. "Seriously if you can use one we can have a friendly bout as a way to get to know each other better!"

"You sure this isn't to stroke your sword fetish Kiba?" I say with a joking voice and then laugh a bit more. He seems to not like that and I raise my hands in submission. "Heyyyy I was just kidding. Look I can scrap with you a bit with some sword play, but later alright? You're a real cool guy you know?"

"Oh? Thanks. I actually don't have many guy friends since all of them are jealous of the girls being around me." He seems to get a bit of a shake as he thinks of his fangirls. "They call me the Prince of Kuoh and I honestly can't deal with all of them. It gets very tiring, but I don't wanna be rude you know?"

I tried to, I really did, but the genuine horror and title he has just made me lose it. I slapped a hand to my forehead and looked at the ceiling as I cackled at that. "PAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh man that is the best! HAHAHAHAHA!" He looks to me with a red face and I just smack his back lightly. "Dude... that is the best horror story I heard all my life. I wish my problems were that simple." I say between small chuckles and he eventually smirks a bit and chuckles as well.

"Seriously though..." He seems to stone up his face to hear me out. "Was I supposed to bow to enter your court, your lordship?" I say with a smirk on my face.

He punches my side and I just laugh a bit more. "You dick. I was wondering when you would, but a court needs it's jester, right?"

"Ohoho... scathing. Good one Kiba." I see the signs for the bathrooms and then I wave to him as I walk to them. "Thanks for the help, buddy. We should hang out sometime, maybe go fishing or something. Count me as one of your guy friends man."

I make it the door and I hear him yell back. "No problem and I would love to sometime. I appreciate that Lu! I'll see you around." Alright time to handle business.


Back in Sona's office


Rias is unsure how to break the news to Kiba that one of the other kids from the project are in Kuoh now. she usually knows how to do stuff like this, but it seems so personal for him. She can't think of what his reaction to the information would be. Should she withhold it or tell him. Both have their benefits, but also problems.

If she tells him, he may end up going into shock. It can possibly clear his mind, but he may also shirk his duties as a Devil, and knight of the House of Gremory, in favor of his friend. Again though it can give him some happiness that he desperately needs.

If she doesn't tell him and he finds out that she didn't, he may never forgive her. It is also possible he would go stray and then they would have to deal with both him and Luca. This situation is such a mess, but... she feels she should tell him. It is the right thing to do for her precious little servant. He NEEDS this.

Rias felt a tug on her arm and then looked over to see Sona is the one who did it. "You're spacing out Rias. We were trying to talk to you."

"Oh, sorry. I am just wondering how to break this to Kiba. I plan to tell him that Luca is a survivor like him, but I just... I don't know how he will take that." Sona seems to consider her words, but let's her continue. "It could give Kiba a clearer head, but it can also make the-"

"Old memories resurface, and that can have any form of effect to it." Sona finishes Rias' sentence and then begins to think a bit. After a moment she continues. "I am not sure what I can tell you Rias. This is your peerage and I have no say on the path you choose." Rias looks down as she feels slightly helpless. "All I can say is to do what you think is right after you think long and hard about it. He can't fault you for thinking about how to say it, nor should he." She finishes.

The door then has a knock at it. "Buchou? Are you in there?" A male's voice comes through.

"Kiba?" Rias calls and then Sona looks at her and shakes her head to signify 'not yet'. Rias nods and then turns to Akeno and then Akeno nods in understanding as well. "You can come in Kiba."

The door opens to reveal the blonde knight in his prim and proper uniform. He seems to be in a good mood as he is smiling like he just won the lottery. He then closes the door after walking in and then bows in greeting to them. "Morning Buchou, Akeno, Sona, and the rest." Some of Sona's peerage wave in greeting, but a few, Saji, seem offended by not being named.

Rias smiles to Kiba and then returns the greeting while hiding her prior feelings. "Morning Kiba. How are you this morning? You seem especially happy about something." Akeno giggles a bit as she also noticed his mood.

He raises his head and then smiles to Rias with a beaming grin. "I am having a great day so far Buchou! I actually met our mysterious ally in the hall. Lu is a very nice guy, contrary to his appearance. I was able to actually get a spar set up with him since he likes swords too!" Rias, internally, winces as she is wondering if he knows. "I think I can grow to be great friends with him. He said I reminded him of someone, but he couldn't place it so we just started off fresh if we had met before. We connected pretty fast as well."

Akeno takes the initiative here. "Ohhhh~ Kiba-kun? Are you feeling butterflies in your stomach at the sight of the bad boy~?" He stiffens at that and looks at her with a slight upset face for even suggesting that. "Ufufufufu... just kidding Kiba-kun~."

Kiba clears his throat and then continues. "Yes, well, it's not like that, but I feel like me and Lu can grow to be fast friends. He is a little sarcastic part to him, but honestly I will take that over seething glares any day, you know?"

A few chuckles go around as they are all aware of Kiba's Prince of Kuoh title. Rias then jumps in on this. "Kiba... would you like to be the one to partner up with him on some of the nights he goes around searching for Exorcists? Maybe it will be good for you both to get to know each other. Also, Lu?" She asks with a bit of confusion.

Kiba's smile seems to be masking some pain now. "Y-yeah. He told me to call him that since his actual name brings back bad memories. One of the kids in that horrible project for that damned sword Excalibur was my childhood best friend named Luca. We were inseparable and his death hit me a little harder than the rest, but that isn't fair to them." The room seems to wince and then look to Rias to see what she does.

Rias then swallows and then begins to speak. "Kiba... Luca is..." She seems to try to find the words. "Luca is definitely gonna be watching out for you. He is closer than you think." She then thinks, "I'm sorry Kiba, but I have to think of a better way to tell you. Please forgive me."

Kiba seems to smile at that and then tears prickle his eyes as he dries them. He dries them and then looks back to Rias. "Well... I think we should get back to class, huh? Hey, since we found him should we continue watching Issei? I saw some girl talk to him the other day and ask him out on a date. It seems suspicious to me."

Rias nods, happy that this went to a different topic, and she is thankful for this new information. "Right. I want you all to keep surveilance on him. I'll get Koneko to follow Issei later on and see what is going on with him, but I want all of your familiars to watch him as well. Do you know when the date is gonna be?" She asks him.

"This weekend Buchou." He answers.

"Right. I'll have my familiar slip him a flier during the date. Thank you Kiba." He nods to her and then they all say their goodbyes and head back to class.


Next day at night


These guys in the Student Council are really spoiling me. I got a TV, a mini fridge, which I stocked with beer, but Sona doesn't know that, and plenty of snacks. Gotta say though, Grilled Seaweed potato chips wouldn't have been my first choice potato chip, but damn am I glad they gave it to me. Last night I also ended up finding some of the Exorcists here and killed em. 6 down, 24 to go now... Freed is gonna have less chances of life the closer I get.

I dusted my hands off and then went to the window... Saji stayed in the council room with me and we were watching TV for a bit. "What? You bored after all the stuff President gave you? What else do you want from her?!"

I turned back and rose an eyebrow at his antics. I then open the window and look out over the school yard. "I don't know what the hell your problem is, but you better watch who you talk to like that. I ain't a normal human Saji and you'll find out that a missing tongue is hard to wag in the wind." He seems to get the picture as I glare at him, by the way his face pales.

"R-r-r-r-right!" He calms himself down and then continues. "Well now that we set boundaries..." I chuckle at that. "... what are you doing?"

"Going hunting. Got 24 more Stray exorcists to go and I would like to get to them before they start wiggling away." I opened the window and was making my way out of the window, when Saji grabbed my shoulder.

I turned to look at him and he was shaking his head with look that was leaving no arguments. "Ohhhh no. Nonononono... you are not going out again tonight."

"Why?" I gave him a raised eyebrow and my bored expression may have given him a bit more energy.

"Because! President said that you can't go anywhere for awhile since you burned down an entire car lot to kill 3 last night!" He says.

"Collateral damage." I deadpan and shrug. "It happens and they had it coming."

"Collat- You melted an entire Rolls-Royce! It was imported and you turned the entire thing to metal mush! How is hitting President's family for 13,309,150.00 Yen just waved off as Collateral Damage?!" He yells and waves his arms frantically to make his point across.

I admit I needed a bit to think on that. "It was purple so I get a pass on that." I say after a few seconds.

Saji seems to be especially angered about that. He gets in my face. "Oh yeah?! Well what about Sona's eyes?! They're purple too so do they deserve to be melted?!" Man he is really desperate for this girl huh? I figured out her crush after like half the day yesterday and his desperation is a bit... much.

"Hm?" I hum in thought to mess with him and I hear him grind his teeth. "Nahhh... I like her eyes. They're cute on her, but purple on a car is just a crime. Not that arson isn't too, but I feel like this is... acceptable arson." I then turn and get in his face and since I have a whole head on him he backs up pretty quick. "... and considering these are Stray Exorcists that would do more if it meant finding a Devil worshipper then I think I am well within my rights to do as I please. Sona wants me to stop then she better figure out how to stop me, because it sure won't be you that does, Saji." I say and stay there for a bit more. I hear him gulp then turn away from him and head for the window. "Good talk, Saji. Stay safe man." I then jump out the window and get to work.


It doesn't take me too long to get far from the school and I bet Saji called Sona on me. Good. This means that she is aware I am on the prowl and clearing her and Rias' problem in the territory. She said she hates surprises after the car lot, but now that I am on the prowl, Saji's call is all the warning she needs for no surprises. "Pfft... wish that were the truth. Oh well, time to hunt them down to the last man."

I spent a good bit walking and had found nothing, but then I got a bad feeling from the silence. I finally noticed the light getting really bright near my face, but it was way too late to dodge. "Dammit, please WORK!" I activated Phantasmal Form and the spear of light passed through my body. It went through the other side and struck the ground and I gave a internal sigh of relief. "Thank you bullshit."

I turned to the side to see the angle of the spear and seen it was coming up and to the left of me. I followed it to see some dude in a trench coat and fedora flying in the air with black feathered wings. His chin was sharp and his hair was coming down his face as he looked down at me. The best part was the look of pure confusion on his face.

"Hey!" I yell to him and he freezes as he sees my cyan eyes boring into his own. "You dropped something. Pretty rudely too." He then made a new one as his original disappeared. His light spear seemed to be blue as well... okay I am getting tired of everything being blue at this point. There is like a million different colors and no one can seem to find anything other than blue or a variant of it.

"H-how? I was sure I hit you. I watched it go through your head, human!" He held his spear tighter in his grip and I smirked towards him. "You... you awakened your Sacred Gear didn't you?! Dammit I was too late to kill you before you woke it up. This is gonna be a little harder than I thou-"

"I don't have a Sacred Gear you pissant." I interrupt him and he seems taken aback. He then narrows his eyes at the insult and I continue. "You just can't hit me. I'm way too fast for you... so get out of here and quit wasting my time." Might as well paint the intangibility as super speed until I can't anymore. Besides... I ain't lying. I activated it way too fast for his spear to touch me, we're just gonna ignore the fact that I was using that as a desperate last ditch effort. Too bad though that I am aware of him so I can match him in speed now.

"You? A human too fast for me?! Know your place you filthy vermin and just die already!" He charges me and as he gets close I notice something. "Man this guy is too slow." I stepped to the side and let him fly into my hand and then I slammed the back of his head into the pavement. He gasped as he seems to be rattled from smashing his nose into my hand and then he tries to lunge his spear at my head, but I cock my head out the way and then kick him in the stomach and let him go as I see him choke on air.

I walk away and then turn to look at him as he reels from the pain and lack of air. "Welllllll... wasn't that impressive? Seriously I am really impressed, I mean aren't you Fallen Angels supposed to be... strong?" I give a chuckle as I stay there and look at him.

"Y-you... wait those burns." He gasps out. "So you are the one who has been killing our exorcists. We thought the Devils were getting aggressive, but it was really just some human with full body burns?" He says between wheezes.

I got some interesting info didn't I? "That's right. Want me to stop? Give me Freed Selzan." I say with a deadpan tone.

"F-Freed?! What could you possibly want with him?! That psycho priest will either recruit you or kill you!" He now caught his breath and then stands up and pulls out the spear of light again. "You aren't in a position to make any demands either?! Whether you die to him or to me is irrelevant!" He gets a manic smile on his face as he seems to be getting a battle lust. "Besides... you may have gotten me off guard, but now I wanna see how this goes."

"That is... a very poor choice Angel boy." I say as I stand up straight and move to the center of the road, just across from him.

"Maybe, but it is mine to make!" He then charges again and I give a sigh as he closes the distance and then lean back as he flies over me with the spear extended to stab me. I take my leg and kick it into his side and catch myself with my hands, wrapping my legs around the side of him and slam him into the ground. I roll him on his back and punch him in the face and he punches me in the stomach.

"Gotta love having dead pain receptors right?" I smirk down at him and he continues to punch me in the side and stomach. I feel a bit winded from this and punch him twice before I hop off and he unfurls his wings and takes to the sky, his spear lit and he then begins to throw spear after spear at me and I dance around them like I am doing a choreographed dance routine.

I get under him and then extend my hand out as it gets a large plume of flame on it. "CHECKMATE ANGEL BOY!" I yell as he grimaces and then is engulfed in a 180 foot long and 60 feet wide plume of flames. The flame goes on for a few seconds and I stop the blast to inspect the work. Thankfully no flames made it to any of the buildings since the cone didn't reach them in it's expanding cone. Not a single feather in sight and not a Fallen Angel in sight.

I then feel a sharp pain in my leg as I was inspecting that and looked to see that it was a light spear that went right through it. "What... the hell are you?" I turn to see the Fallen and man has he seen better days. Half of his body is burnt to shit and his left eye is missing. He coughs a bit and then the spear disappears, which makes my leg begin to bleed. I grit my teeth and then put flame to the wound as it cauterizes the thing. When I go to sleep it should be good as new, but man is this inconvenient. He gives me a half-lidded stare and then pulls the spear out again. "No human can be this strong! You have to be some form of Devil. What are you a PHENEX?!"

"PFFT! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! They wish they had flames like mine!" I yell out as I raise my hand to the fallen and it begins to glow. "Sorry pal... I'm just human, and you? You're dead." My hand lights up and then I see him take off faster than he ever moved before. He makes it a great distance away and I take aim. "Let's seeeee... how about a beam of fire for more distance?" I flash the fire out and it blasts forward and closes in on him like a bullet. He looks back and yells as he tries to dive out of the way, but I end up cremating his legs into ash and he yells as he rights himself and gets away.

I click my tongue. "Damn... not good for me."

"What is not good for you?" I hear a flat voice behind me with a tint of annoyance. I turn to see that it is Sona and Tsubaki.

"Also not good for me." I say with a deadpan look. "Hey Sona-chan... I know I got it right this time... Fancy seeing you here. Nice night, huh?"

Her eyes narrow and then she looks around to see some melted street lights and a few building tops melted from the heat, and then sniffs the air and smells my burning flesh. She then looks to the ground beneath me and sees blood coming from my pants leg with a hole going through it and pooling at my feet. "Care to explain?"

"I mean not really, but I guess I can." She sighs and then walks forward to me, then she grabs my shirt and begins to teleport us back to the Student Council room. "Hm?" I hum as we reappear back in the room and see the window has a lock on it. "You know I can burn through that without a problem right?" I point out.

She narrows her gaze and pulls my shirt to where I am at her level and face to face. "Then do me a 'favor' and don't burn through it." Oh shit she figured it out. "Then do me another favor and stop going out on your own." Man she had this prepared for a bit. She's angry as hell... kinda cute I can't lie. "Finally do me another favor and STOP! BEING! SO! DESTRUCTIVE!" She gets really close to me and holds the side of my head. "Capiche?"

I quirk a brow and then laugh a bit. "One, you're really cute when your angry. Two, I knew you were smart enough to figure out how to get me to chill out a bit. Three, crystal." She has a bit of a blush as she heard me call her cute then realizes how close we are. "You know when a woman grabs the head of a guy and does this they usually kiss. Wanna see if I taste like pork?" I tease and she immediately let's me go. "You're loss... actually not really. My lips might not feel so good."

"Wh-whatever!" She inhales sharply and then exhales. "Now then. Care to tell me why you were shooting such a large flame into the air? I could really use a subject change and a confirmation." She says as she goes back to authoritarian Sona again.

I shake my hand in a so-so gesture and take a seat on the couch and notice that Saji isn't here. "Where's Saji?"

Tsubaki pushes her glasses up. "He requested to get away from you because he thought you would kill him for telling us you went out alone." She answers curtly.

I shrug. "I ain't a monster, but yeah I was gonna punch him if I didn't announce it myself against the Fallen." I say as I put my hands behind my head and kick my leg on the couch, the blood that wasn't dried by my flames marking the leather.

Sona raises a brow. "Fallen?" She then looks to my leg and then to Tsubaki. "Can you grab the first aid and treat that?"

Tsubaki nods and I continue. "Well I don't know how a first aid kit will handle a light spear through the calf, but maybe it will do fine. Also, yeah, a Fallen. Guy tried to take me out and I took care of it... he still escaped, but his legs and an eye are gone. Honestly he makes my body look like a scrape, but I warned him not to try anything after I planted him in the concrete. Some people just can't listen can they?" Sona's brow twitched at that and I smirked after.

"I... seeeee... You are correct that some people can't listen, but now I think you will listen from now on won't you?" She says as her gaze burrows into my head like a drill. Tsubaki has seen the wound now and has begun to stitch it closed and wrap it up.

"Word it to me like a favor and I'll do whatever you want Sona. That is a part of our deal, but if you don't then I will do what I want." I shrug and she sighs and I swear I hear her say 'It's better than nothing.' "Well I at least found out from the guy that the Stray Exorcists are his men and that he is killing people with Sacred Gears. He thought I had one and I can't blame him, but no, I am one of a kind apparently. So now we are dealing with 24 Stray Exorcists and a really wounded Fallen." I look at my now done leg and then sit up. "Honestly I expect him to be quiet for awhile after this."

Sona had a finger to her chin as she was thinking over what I said. "I see. Well it was good information, but if there is Fallen in the area I should really alert my sister to this. I think it would be best to make sure another war doesn't start if the Devils take action against them."

"Or... just hear me out." She looks to me as I catch her and Tsubaki's attention. "Send me out to play. I can just burn them to ashes as a factionless human and I made it known to him I was hunting Freed so they'll have a motive for me to go it alone if they attack me." Sona seems to glare at me and goes to open her mouth, but I stop her. "I am factionless and am just a really unique human. If I go it alone then they can't say the Devils did it, especially if I just say I don't know any of you and you all make it look good, by getting into visible scraps with me." She then takes time to consider it.

"False information set up by a few performances to make them think what we want? It can work, but.." She looks at me. "I don't want you to get hurt for getting into too much danger."

"Awww... and I thought my looks were revolting. Seems like you really care Sona?" I tease her and she gets a small blush on her face. "Teasing aside I won't be hurt too bad. This was just a fluke and I can promise you I won't get too hurt too bad."

"I..." She sighs. "Promise that you won't cause too much property damage."

"Sona... I can't lie to you." I say with a small smirk. "But I'll try not to if it makes you feel better. I am pretty sure my tab with your parents is through the roof at this point. Wonder what they'll have me do to pay them back."

She looks down and then speaks again, but I couldn't hear her. "I'm sorry what?"

She takes a big breath and then just let's it out with an annoyed voice. "Since you beat me at chess they'll have you marry me!"

"..."

"..."

"... what?"


Author's note:

Thanks for the comments the few that have done so, so far. I will try to answer them fast and when I can get the time.

I actually have a plan with Asia and her Twilight Healing and his scars so we'll see what happens when we get there.

As for his magic I was thinking of some sort of Domain Expansion for him, or some form of plant manipulation to add fuel to the fire. As he levels up though and reaches certain qualifications his flames will eventually stop damaging him and grow stronger.

You all have a great night and happy reading!
