How to Love?
Hello back with another chapter. I'm currently updating Ninja's Hero Academia, as well with this story. I took a small break playing the new Outbreak on Cold War lol. Anyways, I hope the story has been to everyone's enjoyment thus far! As for Issei and his Sharingan and his Mangekyou Sharingan. I decided on his abilities, as for what they are… well you're going to have to read. Lol. As for reviews…
Deidara514: I might be a bit biased, considering I am Deidaratard. BUT YES, please add my bae Deidara into it. He could be in Khaos Brigade with team Vali and get a rematch with Itachi. You could also have him be a reincarnated Devil of like Sairaorg so when Rias and him have a rating game, the two could get their rematch. Also, don't get me started on Kisame and with what you could do with him. He used to be his partner after all and it would be interesting to see how Kisame reacts to Itachi now. If you do go the route of the OC Otsutsuki, it would have to be a long game move. Like after Itachi unlocks the Rinnegan, masters into the degree of Adult Sasuke, and even still, he shouldn't be slapping around Otsutsukis. THEM BOIS ARE STRONG AF. so yeah. That's about it, and great chapter today.
TF: Yeah, I wouldn't mind throwing them in. But it depends on how I want to play this out. I do have a way actually, an interesting way to implement the previous Akatsuki. As for Deidara… I'll put him in a fun spot along with Kisame.
Conker9999: how does the EMS work for Itachi with him being half-blind?
TF: Simple, Devil's Grace :3. Can heal anything from paralysis, sickness, and even blindness!
Guest-Questioner: Whoa, I'm not saying Issei goes the "Sasuke" path, I'm just saying issei has, A Sharingan, like some kind of extra skill by being blood related to, itachi, and, rather than chakra, for itachi, Issei's, sharingan, only visualizes, the MAGIC, of the DxD world, and NOT, chakra, does that make sense? Shin uchiha', eye's, can CONTROL any PHYSICAL, object, just by touching it, including (breaking) the object. Issei can BREAK, any clothing, he touches, because their a PHYSICAL, object, (dress break) Does that make sense? Hagoromo' eye's, create a, "mountain" sized susanno'o type effigy, if issei were to acquire, a similar ability, of such, issei could TECHNICALLY, summon his juggernaught drive form, as HIS variation, of the susanno'o effigy. Enhanced dress break, via sharingan, OR, juggernaught drive, based, susanno'o... Two separate abilities, to choose for issei' final sharingan, does this make sense?
TF: Oh, I know what you're asking of me. Its not a bad ability to give him, reminds me… of an anime called Konosuba, never really watched it. But I do know the protag had the ability to steal things. I knew he stole panties. Lol.
DameNingen1: You would be a fool to leave Akeno with Issei.. He couldn't handle her.. Itachi all the way… Please don't tell me you are gonna use this as a plot device to make them lose to Riser? This story will officially be shit because of the lame ass drama.. I don't mean to sound toxic.. Not sorry
TF: No, I decided to keep Akeno with Itachi. Also for your information you just need to keep reading.
Well with reviews out of the way lets continue! I hope you all enjoy!
Last Chapter
"Wait let me see if I can heal you!" Asia hopped onto the bed and placed her hands on Itachi's face. Asia began to focus her magic on Itachi's eye. Irina was hopeful that Asia would be able to help.
After a little bit, Asia was unsuccessful in restoring Itachi's eye. Asia concentrated her into his eye, nothing worked. Itachi's vision did not return whatsoever, Itachi saw Asia hang her head upset. Itachi said, "Asia…" She looked up at him with an upset look on her face, "It's okay don't worry about it, you did what you could." He poked her forehead making Asia puffed her cheeks out. She was still upset, but he did make her feel better.
In Between Life and Death
"Well, he certainly has learned some new things. I'm quite surprised though… then again, I shouldn't be. I guess giving him my chakra was the best thing to give him before he went over huh?" Hagoromo Otsutsuki looked at the blue orb of light next to him.
"Yes, I would agree with you there. I didn't think he'd use it so soon, then again he is Itachi." The blue orb continued to float watching the scene play in front of them.
"Well granted he might not be my reincarnate but having my chakra within him. Will help him awaken the Rinnegan one day and allow him to cure his blindness." Hagoromo added with interest as the blue orb chuckled. Hagoromo looked at him as he raised an eyebrow.
"You're funny, you think I'd make it that simple? Yeah, you gave him your chakra, but I made it hard for him to unlock it. It won't be that simple, there one and only one way to unlock it. He has to find that out himself." The blue orb continued to smile at his ingenious idea behind his madness.
"What do you mean? Did you mean for something else to happen?" Hagoromo looked at the orb confused.
"Well, this world has been quite dull, I've seen it over, and over, and over again. I wanted to add in some elements of my own." If the blue orb had a face, it would be a smirking look on his face.
Hagoromo sighed, "Alright well I guess we'll just watch and see what happens." Hagoromo said with an interested tone, he really was fascinated with how Itachi would live this new life.
This Chapter
Itachi found himself in gym class, the one gym class he had with all first years. The one class he could not advance in like all his other classes. He is in third-year class with Rias, Akeno, and Sona, "Alright everyone let's welcome Irina Shidou with open arms!" Their gym teacher said with a cheer.
"Hello everyone, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Irina bowed with a big grin on her face. The other girls began to walk over to talk to Irina. Since Itachi was the only male in this class, he typically kept to himself. Unless they did games during gym class. Itachi watched from afar with a small smile on his face. It's been a few days since Irina joined Rias's peerage. It was a struggle for her the next few days. She is still currently going to therapy, but she has always asked Itachi to join her. He didn't mind really, but she was also insistent on him joining.
"Oh yeah, I forgot my eye went blind." Itachi remembered that he kept a genjutsu over his eye to make it look normal, "You do know I can give you my eye? I can keep the same shape and color since it's an eye. An arm or leg would be completely different story though." Albion asked which Itachi has thought about, but decided against it, "It's fine, it's really not a big deal. It's only a slight hindrance, besides my right eye has gotten even stronger. Once I get that Devil's Grace, it should also give me a sigh in my eye again. Along with my Sharingan abilities too."
"Itachi-Nii-sama! Come on we're going to begin a game of Frisbee Football!" A girl called over which Itachi began to slowly walk his way towards them. Itachi didn't really like being called that by girls he didn't know. However, that's the title Rias, Akeno, and Sona got. The three great Onee-samas of Kuoh. Kiba the prince, and apparently, he's the king. So, they declared him as Itachi-Nii-sama.
"Hai, hai, I'm coming." He replied with a gentle smile on his face earning blushes from the girls.
Later at Night
"Alright is everything settled! Itachi, you, Akeno, and I will do our best to stall the enemy. Along with Koneko, Kiba, and Irina. Issei I need you to power up, Itachi told me about a new ability you recently discovered?" Rias asked curiously as Issei nodded his head.
"I'll do my best to support! It's called gift, however much power I build up. I'm able to transfer it to others." Issei said with his gauntlet activating. Boost!
"I'll make sure everyone is ready to go as well. Itachi and I have been working hard together. I learned my sacred gear can keep doing more." Asia stated nervously as she placed her hands up, Greater Resistance! Greater Magic Resistance! Asia let a huff out which Itachi placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Take it easy, don't use your magic all at once." Itachi rubbed Asia's head as she smiled nodding her head.
"It's okay, I still got more in me. I'll be there if anyone needs help." Asia stated brig her two hands up about to her chest. She then had a serious look on her face as she clenched her hands closed.
"I'll provide Koneko and Kiba with back up too. I'll do my best with this." Irina held up Itachi's katana which he lent her.
"Itachi do you need another one?" Rias asked curiously which Itachi nodded his head.
Itachi had a sword appear in his hand, "I should be fine, we need to prepare for Kokabiel along with that stray priest. Tonight is their last night." Itachi closed his right eye and canceled the Genjtusu on his left eye. Granted it was only a minimal amount of chakra being used, for this fight, every little bit counted. Irina saw Itachi's left eye as her right hand went over her left forearm. Remembering how she tried to kill herself. Itachi saved her by giving up his left eye, "You don't need to feel so bad about it, Irina. Let it go, otherwise, you'll never be able to enjoy yourself."
"I-I know." Irina said as her pigtails seemed to almost droop.
Itachi shook his head as he placed a hand under her chin. Making her look at his face, "Irina let it go, it's alright, I knew what I had to do. I don't regret it for a second." Itachi leaned in putting his face really close to Irina's.
Irina began to blush as Rias began to pout annoyed at how close Itachi was to Irina. Akeno giggled at the scene, "Ara, I think someone is jealous."
Itachi then backed at way poking Irina in the head, "Come on let's go everyone." Itachi unsealed another sword katana to his hand. Itachi saw Rias pouting at him and Akeno giggling, "What something I do?"
"Baka Itachi." Rias walked off with jealousy written all over her face.
"Ara, I don't think I've seen her so worked up before." Akeno giggled as she latched onto one of Itachi's arms.
"What?" Itachi said confused as Irina hugged the other side of knowing full well what the situation was, "I don't get it what I do?" Itachi let a sigh out as he looked out the window seeing the full moon, "I'll never understand woman, this is beginning to become a drag."
"Mind if I join in." Xenovia came walking in with Issei waving to her.
"Yo, what's up Xenovia! Glad for you to join us!" Issei said excitedly which Xenovia nodded her head to him.
"I'm good, Irina how are you feeling. How is school?" Xenovia was worried for Irina but also curious about how Irina's new devil life was going.
"It's been pretty good actually; the girls are super nice and." Irina was interrupted by Rias.
"Sorry you'll have to catch up later, we have guests." Rias began to run outside along with everyone else following, "Once Kokabiel and his allies get closer. Sona and her team will keep a barrier up, no one will get in or out."
"Understood!" Everyone shouted along with Xenovia deciding to just take orders. It's easier for her to take orders than come up with ones on her own.
Everyone looked up to see a bright golden light along with the barrier being put up, "Well, well, well it seems you were ready for me. Anyways, I heard that this man's been dying to fuse four Excaliburs into one." Kokabiel spoke with his hopeful and prideful tone.
"Kokabeil!" Rias shouted angrily.
"Is Sirzechs coming? Or will it be Serafall?" Kokabiel asked placing a hand on his cheek while learning on are rest of his makeshift throne.
Rias smiled back placing her left hand on her hip, "In place of my Onii-sama and Leviathan-sama, we have come." Itachi stepped in front of Rias as Kokabiel lifted his hand in the air as magical energy formed in his hand. Then it turned into a spear as he threw it into a building causing it to blow up. This blew everyone back but Itachi who kept his ground.
"The gym?" Issei said startled since it was destroyed with just one attack.
"We'll have some laughs." Kokabiel chuckles seeing the scared look on Issei's face.
"Sacred, partner?" Ddraig asked curiously.
"Get up issei." Itachi added as he unsheathed his sword placing the scabbard on his back.
"I-I know… that's the biggest spear of light I've ever seen! He's way out of our league! Maybe not for Itachi-Nii but seriously. Nii-san and I were impaled by those things!" Issei added with a worried look on his face.
Itachi decided to scan his surrounding to get a layout. However, he saw a slight look of pain in Akeno's eyes. He didn't have time to ask, "Alright everyone! You know what we're doing! Head out!"
"Keep in mind everyone, he fought God alongside the Satans and survived, after all." Ddraig comforted Issei… not
"Thanks that helps!" Issei shouted back angrily at Ddraig.
"Focus, the fight is beginning now!" Itachi added as flew up to meet Kokabiel along with Rias and Akeno.
"Since you've come all the way out here why don't play with my pets." Kokabiel shot a beam of magic from beneath his chair.
Itachi quickly summoned Venessa to his side, "Keep everyone in Rias's peerage safe, along with Xenovia!" Itachi ordered.
Venessa in her human form nodded her head, "You gotcha Itachi-sama!" Venessa transformed into a cat and floated in the air.
Once the beam finished a magic summoning circle appeared, the ground had a giant hole appear with a torrent of flames shooting up. Just then a giant claw came out of the ground revealing a three-headed dog, "Cerberus!?" Issei said in shock as he readied himself for a tough fight. Cerberus is a large, three-headed dog creature around 10 meters tall. The body has thick legs, each with a set of sharp claws. Each head has a pair of red eyes and a mouth lined with sharp fangs.
"The dog that guards the gates of hell!" Rias said worriedly, she knew full well how strong it was.
"Gates of hell?" Asia stated with her eyes wide with fear.
"I can't believe he summoned it to this world." Rias said angrily, but they had to fight it, "Let's go, Akeno, Itachi, Koneko!"
"Back up I got this." Itachi flew in front of Rias as his right eye morphed into the Mangekyou Sharingan, "We have no time for small fry, it doesn't matter if he guards the gates of the hell or heaven. Now burn it all!" Amaterasu!
Cerberus roared at Rias and her peerage, but suddenly black flame sprouted from his body. The three-headed down fell to the ground rolling around. Even its own flames were being burned away along with its fur and flesh. Akeno stuck her hand in the air as she was struck with lighting as she changed her outfit. Itachi saw Akeno change into a shrine maidens' outfit ready to fight, "Don't touch the flames either one of you. I cannot douse them myself; I do not have the ability to manipulate them." Itachi warned as Asia, Koneko, Irina, Xenovia, and Kiba took a step back, "Let the flames either engulf him, there is nothing more we can do."
Just then Cerberus, even with the Amaterasu spreading on it's body. It began to thrash around trying to put it out. While in pain it roared out before more could happen the beast disappeared in a burst of its own flames. Xenovia saw how strong Itachi was and was impressed. It made her wonder just how strong was Issei was. Since Issei is Itachi's younger brother and is also the Red Dragon Emperor. Just then there was a bright glow which Itachi turned his head to see Issei was at full power, "Hey what's up?" Issei asked Ddraig.
"It's saying that your power has doubled enough times to be useful in combat." Ddraig explained.
"I didn't know you could do something like that! Well, let's get this show on the road!" Issei stated ready to give the other his power.
"This is thanks to all your hard work. It changed according to your will." Ddraig complimented his host.
"Buchou! Akeno-san! I'm at max power!" Issei began to run towards them.
"Alright!" Rias flew down to get a power-up.
"Let's show them!" Akeno flew following Rias.
Issei ran up and jumped extending his hand out, Boosted Gear! Gift! Transfer! Issei tapped their hands giving them a great power boost. Rias and Akeno kept their composure of the sudden power that was given to them. Issei fell to the ground with Xenovia turning her head towards him, "Impressive ability, Issei Hyoudou." Xenovia said with her usual monotone voice.
Akeno and Rias flew up to Itachi's height which the three nodded together. Itachi's right eye spun into the Mangekyou Sharingan with an orange spectral rib cage forming around him. Akeno and Rias looked at Itachi amazed but then quickly went to work on their attacks. Akeno lifted her hand into the air, "Lighting! Shake the earth!" A magic circle appeared on her hand as lighting struck her hand. Rias had green and red magic energy condense into a magic circle in front of her. The three aimed it at Kokabeil, Yasaka Magatama! Raiton! Hakai! Itachi's spectral ribcage grew flesh as ahead. The hands had beads chained together which were thrown like a shuriken at Kokabeil.
"Interesting the Emperor of the Red Dragon's power can make you this much stronger. This one over here doesn't even need it, well then again. He is the White Dragon Emperor. Intriguing… Very intriguing!" Kokabiel let a malevolent grin appear on his face as the combined attack raced towards him. Kokabiel stuck his hand out and stopped the attack, but he felt something off. The power behind it was much greater than he anticipated he quickly swatted it to the side causing a massive explosion to go off.
Just then from down below, "After waiting for so long!" Valper Galilei shouted happily. A bright glow was finished with a Holy Sword ready to be used.
Itachi grit his teeth as he looked as well, with Kokabiel giving commentary, "Upon fusion of the Holy Swords, I will take the energy that will be released. That was the deal." Kokabiel chuckle ready for the war to begin.
"you put that into an earth breaker spell?!" Rias added worriedly about the city now with this massive amount of energy being created.
"Are you telling me that this city-our hometown-is going to disappear?!" Issei ran up to the circle worried about what was going to happen to the innocents.
"Get out while you can. This city will be razed to the ground within twenty minutes." Valper smirked as Itachi flew near the rouge priest with everyone else flying close to him as well. They all wanted to take the bastard down.
"You want to stop that… you'll have to defeat me." Kokabiel decided to now stand up from his seat to fight against Rias and everyone. Itachi knew Kokabiel was strong, but how much stronger was he compared to him?
"What now!? RIAS GREMORY!" Kokabiel stood up with four sets of fallen angel wings appearing out of his back.
"This silly game ends now." Itachi muttered which Valper could not move before he was stopped. He looked down to find a hand crackling with lighting, Chidori Itachi made sure to hit his lung as the man fell to the ground.
Rias looked at shock with Itachi's speed as well as impressing Kokabeil. He was going to kill him anyway, oh well. Itachi pulled his hand out and threw Valper to the ground in front of Kiba. Itachi looked at Kiba and nodded his head, "Avenge your friends Kiba, for them, not yourself remember."
Kiba walked up angrily as he held his sword up to Valper's neck, "For the crimes you committed to me and my comrades. All my friends in your damn Holy Sword Project! I'll end you here and now! So one else EVER HAS TO GO DOWN THE SAME PATH AS I DID!"
"Ahaha *cough* *cough*" Valper laughed as he spat up blood with bubbles in it.
"What's so damn funny!?" Kiba snarled at him.
"We don't need *cough* brats like you anymore… *cough*" Valper reached into his jacket taking out a vile that looked like a diamond with blue essence in it.
"Hey, that… that looks familiar." Irina pointed at him which Valper laughed hard but began to spit blood up again.
"Y-Yeah I-I bet you do *cough* this was used to give people the ability to wield Holy Sword. This vile Is the last one of your "comrades" We're able to mass *cough* produce them easily." Valper mocked laughing again only to spit more blood up. He threw it to Kiba's feet as he stood there shocked.
Irina fell to her knees looking at her hands as they shook. Xenovia closed her eyes tightening her hand around the regular sword he had, "Y-You mean… they used people… people's life force on me?" Irina's eyes widen in panic and horror. Itachi quickly flew to her side holding her tightly trying to calm her down.
"You lowly sow… even facing death you can't even end with an honorable one… no you don't even deserve death." Itachi snarled at Valper with Issei glaring at Valper with his Sharingan a blaze which Itachi caught onto.
"This bastard! I should pound him into the ground myself!" Issei punched his fist into the palm of his hands with tears rolling down his face. Kokabiel only shook his head enjoying the scene.
Sick bastard.
"M-My comrades, m-my friends." Itachi and everyone else turned their heads to see Kiba shaking as he knelt down and picked up the crystal.
"F-Freed! H-Help!" Valper called out which Freed ran up and grabbed the holy sword with a smirk on his face.
Xenovia ran up and clashed swords with him. The two stopped once Valper let another laugh out, "T-Thanks to you *cough* and your friends. The experiments finally *cough* *cough* succeeded." Valper laid on the ground with Itachi walking up behind him with a skeletal form having flesh appear. Then a torso and armor around it with arms sticking out of it.
"Succeeded?" Kiba looked at Valper as he held the crystal that held his friend's souls.
"The power *cough* each of you possesses wasn't enough to wield a holy sword on it's own. Which brought me to a *cough* solution. I simply took the *cough* power out of everyone, then combined it into a crystal. The *cough* very one you're holding right *cough* now." Valper had enough strength to lift his head up giving Kiba a malicious grin.
"You bastard!" Issei growled as suddenly dodged an attack by Freed.
"Get over here you little shitty devil!" Freed was not going to give anyone a chance.
Xenovia picked herself up angrily, the Holy Sword was giving Freed a lot of power. Irina grits her teeth not being able to do anything. If she were to clash swords with the Holy Sword, she surely die and Itachi's sword would break, "Kiba-senpai." Koneko looked towards Kiba with worry. Meanwhile, Rias and Akeno could only watch as Kiba was in despair. Not only that but Kokabiel was giving them a moment to rest.
"T-That's the same crystal they used on me…" Irina frowned, it still hurt regardless. To think the church used this creep's research to gift her the ability to wield a holy sword.
"Those hypocrites *cough* they shunned me like I was a heretic." Valper continued to laugh more and more, "Hahaha! Ahahahaah!" Valper laughed, but he stopped suddenly when he heard a *SHINK* He looked down to see a flaming sword being stabbed into his stomach.
"That's enough out of you, your very presence makes me sick to my stomach." Itachi walked around to the front as he knelt down placing his hand under Valper's chest, "This isn't no ordinary sword I pierced you with. This sword is known as the Totsuka Blade."
"W-What!? T-That's impossible! *cough* How can a devil such are yourself *cough* wield." Valper was silenced as Itachi punched him across the face.
"Shut up, there is nothing more for you to say. You're a human beyond saving. I suggest you begin paying, feel free to pray to your god… spoilers, I won't be listening." Itachi muttered coldly which everyone heard. Which also made Rias deadpan at Itachi's line, it was simple, tacky, but kinda funny too.
"YOU DID NO JUST *Cough*" Valper was stopped by his coughing which Itachi then got into his face.
"Yes. I just did, not vanish and live in a world of infinite drunken dreams!" Toushka Blade! Itachi yelled out which then the sword began to retract into a gourd. Valper disappeared with a painful agonizing scream. Itachi turned around to looked at Kiba as he stood there holding the crystal close to his heart, "Kiba."
"There wasn't a need to kill us, then. So, why? Why did he kill us!? We all suffered through excruciating tests and pain!" Just then Itachi saw spirits begin to form around Kiba. Kiba not even noticing but everyone else did, "I've…"
"He's peaked, he's achieving a balance breaker, isn't he?" Itachi asked Ddraig and Albion.
"Always wondered…if I deserved to be the only survivor. Many of them had grander dreams than I ever did." Kiba continued to remember his friends as their spirits circled him.
"You were here to prevent anything like from ever happening again." Itachi spoke up as Kiba looked up at him and then he looked around him.
Kiba was in awe and then smiled as he closed his eyes once more, "So many of them wanted to survive more than I did. Itachi… Buchou… Issei… you've been the light I've been looking for. The support was thanks to Akeno and Koneko, I thank you all so much for the help.
Kiba looks down to see a girl reach up and tug on his shirt. She little girl smiled with the other spirits looking at him with smiles on their faces too. They all began to turn into orbs of energy and began to encircle Kiba. One flew past him, "Don't worry." Another flew up, "If we all come together…" "Open your heart." They all surrounded him, "I'm not scared, even if Kami-sama doesn't exist." "Even if Kami-sama isn't watching…" "Our hearts will always be…"
"One." Kiba finished closing his eyes with tears running down his cheeks. All the orbs of light shot into Kiba circling around him and gathering into one being. Allowing him to peak and become stronger, and a better Kiba than he was. Itachi had a gentle smile appear on his lips, Issei, Rias, Koneko, Akeno, Irina, and Xenovia all watched with their own smiles and some with tears in their eyes. Asia was on her knees in a prayer position with tears in her eyes.
"That's so sweet." Koneko added to the beautiful scenery.
"Dammit Kiba! I can't stop crying!" Issei shouted with his own tears running down his cheek, "Everyone is getting so strong… so why… why can't I get as strong as everyone else! I keep getting left in the dust!" Before Issei knew it, Itachi came walking up and placed a hand on his head.
"So, little brother when were you going to tell me you had the Sharingan? By the look of it you have two tomoes." Itachi had a small smile appear on his face, but also a feeling of worry and dread.
Rias and Asia shot their heads to Issei to see his eyes glowing, "Issei!" Asia ran up a bit worried for him.
Itachi closed his eyes, "Is this some sort of joke? Then again it makes sense… I wonder… would that mean I get to obtain the Mangekyou Sharingan? Tch… why did the being above kami-sama give Issei this." "S-Sorry Itachi-Nii… I didn't want you to worry or have bad memories of Sasuke…" Issei looked down which then found Itachi flicking his forehead.
"You idiot… we'll talk after this." Itachi turned his head to Kiba who had his eyes open with a look of determination.
"Like Itachi said… the knight has reached his peak. He's about to obtain his Balance Breaker." Ddraig mentioned with everyone looked at Issei's hand, "When a Sacred Gear owner's hopes and dreams change to such a degree that they move against the flow of the rest of the world, the Sacred gear will exceed its limits, creating a Balance Breaker." Ddraig said with hope and determination for Issei to successfully unlock his one day.
Kiba opened his eyes after their small ritual was done. Kiba looked at Freed and glared at him, "My comrades didn't want me to exact vengeance for them. However, I must slay this evil that stands before me." Kiba said stoically as one of his demonic swords appeared, "Prevent something like this happening to other people ever again. Itachi thank you, you've been there to help me out. Made sure I kept my head on straight, I thank you." Kiba held his sword out aiming it at Freed.
"Rias, Akeno, leave Freed to them. There more than enough, we'll finish Kokabeil." Itachi began to fly into the air ready to fight.
"Kiba!" Rias shouted to Kiba as he turned his head to her, "You are Rias Gremory's Family. Don't you forget that you hear me? An Excalibur should be nothing for my knight."
"Oh jeez enough with this stupid lovey shit! You're making me crawl in my skin here!" Freed complained making a weird face, "I want to slice and dice ya! Get some satisfaction!"
Kiba closed his eyes, "I will be the sword. My comrades, now one with my soul, let us fulfill our regrets and our dreams of those days." Kiba held his sword into the air. Demonic magic and holy magic shot from the handle of the sword twirling around the blade, "I will become the sword of Buchou and my comrades! Sword Birth GO!" The two energies began to mix and simmer down with the newly formed sword. Kiba brought his sword down, "Behold, the Sword of Betrayal… a blade that posses both holy and demonic power!"
Itachi smirked as he looked up at Kokabeil, he was strong. Maybe it was time for him to go all out too, besides. Kokabiel is a being that needs to be put down, put down for the sake of others, "A holy sword… it seems both Kiba and Itachi now have holy swords." Rias let a small chuckle out, she was proud of both Kiba and Itachi. All of her peerage members were certainly special, and very dear to her.
"Alright let's finish this! Akeno, Rias! Let us go!" Itachi flew up towards Kokabiel with Akeno and Rias following suit. Itachi flew up and began to engage Kokabiel with hand-to-hand combat proving quite a handful.
"You little!" Kokabiel slapped Itachi's hand away and quickly used a holy sword to stab Itachi. Which he quickly dodged out of the way from. Just then a blast of destruction and lighting shot past him aimed at Kokabeil. He quickly caught them and fired it at Itachi. Itachi went to knock it away, but then Akeno flew in front of him.
"Itachi! Ahhhh!" Akeno was hit directly with the attack trying to put up a magical barrier. Akeno began to fall towards the ground, but Itachi quickly caught her. Itachi grit his teeth as he gently landed on the ground and handed her to Rias who landed as well.
"Akeno!" Rias began to check over Akeno, Asia came running over to heal her.
Itachi looked up and glared at Kokabiel who chuckle. Itachi then heard Xenovia, "Petra, Basilius, Dionysus, and Mary, the Holy Mother…hear my voice." Xenovia had her hand out as a magic circle appeared with a sword coming out of it. Xenovia's hand went over the handle, "In the name of the saint which rests within this blade, I set you free! The holy sword, Durandal!" The chains on Durandal broke off allowing Xenovia to wield it, "It's an Excalibur-tier Holy Sword said to be able to split anything in this world."
"Interesting, Valper even said that his research hasn't produced anyone who can wield the Durandal!" Kokabiel smirked manically at this if Valper was still here. He would have been awed by all this.
"Unlike Freed and Irina, I'm all natural." Xenovia smirked at Freed as he growled at her.
"So, a genuine Holy Sword wielder? How fascinating!" Kokabiel laughed looking back at Freed, "Don't disappoint Freed! Kill them all!" Kokabiel ordered.
"YOU GOT IT, BOSS! TIME TO DICE UP SOME DEVIL SLUTS!" Freed jumped at Kiba and Xenovia.
Itachi knew they could handle their own. Itachi had to take out Kokabiel now, Itachi wasn't going to let Kokabiel get away with what he's done either. Itachi glared at Kokabiel as his Sharingan shifted into the Mangekyou Sharingan, "Prepare yourself Kokabeil, I'm going to finish this here and now. Rias… Akeno stand back."
"Sorry, Itachi! I need to try! We can't be relying on you all the time! I'll show you the training I've done!" Rias shot a giant blast of destruction magic that took shape of a dragon at Kokabeil.
Kokabiel laughed as he blocked the attack with his hands, "Interesting! As expected of a Satan's sister!"
Rias kept up the attack putting more power into it; however, it was enough. Rias fell on one knee using up all her magic. Itachi caught her before she fell over, "Hey take it easy, I said let me handle this Rias. He's on a different level than all of us. However, I'm sure I can."
Itachi looked up to see Akeno striking herself with lighting, Raiton! Akeno then took the charged-up attack and shot it at Kokabeil.
Kokabiel simply cloaked himself with his wings blocking her attack, "This lighting… oh are you the daughter of Baraqiel?"
"Don't you dare! Associate me with that man!" Akeno shot back narrowing her eyes with anger enhancing her attack at Kokabeil.
"Baraqiel… he's a leader of the Fallen Angels." Xenovia explains which Itachi saw the broken Excalibur on the ground and Freed nowhere to be found.
"You actually deferred to the devils? You've got an interesting family, Rias Gremory." Kokabiel mocked which Rias didn't take too kindly, "The Red Dragon Emperor, a remnant of the Holy Sword Experiments! Baraqiel's daughter! A suicidal protestant devils! A half-blind devil! You may be the White Dragon Emperor! But a pretty pathetic one at that!"
"W-What!? Akeno's part fallen angel!?" Issei said shocked as he began to remember everything with Ryanair.
"Rias Gremory, I see that you like to collect junk, just like your brother." Kokabiel laughed as Akeno looked down herself as she gently landed on the ground. Rias glared daggers at him, if looks could kill. Kokabiel would have been dead a hundred times over.
Rias stood up, "I won't allow anyone to ridicule my brother, our Satan. And above all, such words towards my servants! WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!" Ria's anger rose as Kokabiel came crashing to the ground landing on his feet.
"Then kill me, sister of a Satan!" Kokabiel manically smirked at her as he put his wings away.
"Enough." A cold voice spoke up causing everyone to freeze up. Even Kokabiel stopped to notice the massive killing intent being sent his way. Itachi glared at Kokabiel with his Mangekyou Sharingan spinning slowly at Kokabeil, "You can make the jokes all you want. It doesn't change the fact that you're worse than junk."
"Whys that!?" Kokabiel snarled at Itachi.
"Simple, because I'm going to defeat you here and now. For Rias, and everyone else, no one calls the people I consider precious junk. Even if they are junk, when you lose to us… what does that make you?"
"DON'T YOU DARE MOCK ME! I'LL SHOW YOU ALL TRUE DESPAIR!" Kokabiel threw a giant light spear at Itachi which he simply stuck his hand up.
Itachi had wings appear out of his back, Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! The spear disappeared which Kokabiel continued to glare at him. Itachi had an orange ribcage form around him. This time reforming its muscle, skin, face, and then armor. Itachi's Susanoo's humanoid form, its face is framed by locks of hair, with an appendage on its chin reminiscent of a Pharaoh's false beard. When its armor is formed, Itachi's Susanoo resembles a long-nosed Tengu and has a pair of magatama earrings. Itachi slowly walked towards Kokabeil, "You insulted my master, hurt her, hurt her servants. They're my friends too, along with our new allies. For this, I won't forgive you, and I'll show you the true meaning of despair." Itachi held his hand up and threw an attack Yasaka Magatama! Itachi used his Susanoo to throw the attack which Kokabiel went to block.
"This is useless you can't." Kokabiel began to eat those words once the attack hit his hand. It blew up, "AHHHHHRRGGGG!" Kokabiel was shot out of the smoke and slammed into a tree.
Itachi then zipped in front of Kokabiel with him on the ground at the base of three, "…" Itachi stayed silent which Kokabiel growled throwing a light spear at his face. Itachi simply grabbed it in mid-air with his bare hands.
"W-What!? T-THE HELL! YOU SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO TOUCH LIGHT!" Kokabiel screamed crawling to his feet and ran to the side. He then stood up with his legs shaking at Itachi's glare.
"…" Itachi stayed silent as he continued to walk towards Kokabeil. Itachi's Toushka blade was at the ready to draw in its next victim.
"Stay away you devil scum! DIE!" Kokabiel threw more light spears towards Itachi's direction.
Yata Mirror! Itachi held up his mirror which canceled out Kokabeil's pointless struggle. Itachi continues to walk towards him until Kokabiel fell to his knees. He hunched over digging his hands into the ground, "Impossible! You're just a lowly incarnate! HOW! HOW ARE YOU THIS STRONG!" Kokabiel looked up to see Itachi's feet as he shot his head up and backed away quickly.
"Getaway! Don't you dare kill me! You'll start a war, you stupid devil! Demon!" Kokabiel snarled back, but Itachi kept his stoic look on his face.
"What's wrong Kokabeil? I thought you wanted to start a war. Then again… you couldn't possibly start one without killing me. Instead of a war Kokabeil, I'll give you something you want instead. A slaughter, this is the difference between you and me. You want war, fine, I accept there's your kind out there." Itachi knelt to Kokabeil's height to look at him face to face, "However, just always know I will also stop them. For I am Hyoudou Itachi, Rias's Gremory Pawn, her servant. I'll always be the darkness that causes despair for you and your kind only." Itachi's moved his hand as the Toushka blade pierced Kokabiel in the stomach, "Have fun dreaming for all eternity, I'll make sure your stay is… comfortable." Itachi closed his eyes as the Toushka Blade pulled the broken raven into a world of drunken dreams.
Rias and the others were dumbfounded by Itachi's strength. His strength was far beyond theirs, compared to Itachi's power. He was like a mountain, compared to them they were a rock. Maybe even a pebble. It made Rias think, "Is Itachi on… Nii-sama's level?" Akeno couldn't help but be turned on by Itachi's ruthlessness. However, the feeling of Issei and him knowing she was part fallen angel still hurt her. Irina was overjoyed that Kokabiel was killed, but it still hurt to find out that Kami was indeed dead. Xenovia relaxed putting away Durandal, just then everyone looked up to see the barrier put up by Sona was destroyed. A person came flying down, "Well it seems you already took care of Kokabeil. A shame, my leader wanted him alive. Oh well, I guess you can't have everything." A handsome young man with light silver hair wearing a dark green V-neck shirt with a high-collared black leather jacket over it. He was wearing burgundy jeans with a silver chain drooping down over them and black leather chaps with three bands encircling his right calf, and black shoes with black buckles. Like all other devils, he had a pair of bat-like wings.
"Who are you." Itachi walked over in front of Rias and the others protectively, "He was small fry, so if you're deciding to pick a fight. You'll be sadly mistaken." Itachi glared at the man who appeared before them.
"Oi, Oi! Calm down no need to panic, well at least I got to see you in action. I can't wait to fight you." The boy smirked as he looked at Itachi, "The name is Vali, it's a pleasure to meet you. White one… Red one." Vali turned his head to Issei who tensed up.
"It's good to see you… Ddraig… Albion." The sacred gear coming from Vali glowed with a purple orb on his chest.
"Tannin it's been a while. Surprised you were broken up into a sacred gear." Albion was shocked by this.
"I allowed it, I found Vali… interesting. So, I was allowed to do as I pleased. Instead of becoming a devil. Azazel turned me into a sacred gear, now reside in this boy. We only recently joined a few years ago." Tannin spoke proudly with Vali as his host.
"I can't wait until we meet again White one." Vali turned to leave but he then stopped and looked at Issei, "Maybe… you should try a little harder Red One. I hardly could even sense your presence." Vali left flying away making everyone feel worried.
"Pompous asshole!" Issei shouted but he fell on one knee feeling fatigued takeover.
Itachi relaxed as the tension left the air allowing everyone else to breathe easier. Itachi walked over towards everyone, "Well it seems we did what we came here for." Itachi turned to Xenovia, "What's your goal now?"
"I'm going to return and report the mission. I'll inform what I had to do to save Irina as everything else that has transpired here. I thank you all for it. Irina let's stay in touch. Okay?" Xenovia gave Irina a half-smile still worried if Irina hated her.
Irina nodded her head giving her a small smile, "I forgave you a while ago Xenovia, it was just hard to accept at the time. Though I do ask you to come to visit when you can."
"I will try… Issei I look forward to seeing you again one day. I find you… interesting." Xenovia saw the way Issei helped fight against Freed. Even before Kiba obtained his Balance Breaker. Issei fought strangely but has his heart set on protecting the people he cares about. Issei looked at her confused along with Asia both mentally scratching their heads. Xenovia began to take her leave waving goodbye to Irina.
Kiba then walked up to Rias, "I'm sorry Rias… I know I've been distant and harsh… even if I didn't act like it. I wanted to go alone by myself… however that didn't happen. I guess I have Itachi to say thanks for." Kiba stood up from his bow with Rias placing a hand on his cheek.
"You silly boy, you're like a little brother to me Kiba. I was worried, but I can see how much of an influence Itachi was on you." Rias gently let go looking at everyone else, "We all did well, now let's wait for Sona and her peerage to get here."
"No need, you can all go home and rest up. We'll handle the school repairs." Sona said with a smile placing a hand on her hip.
Itachi looked over to see Sona offering her help to Rias, "Are you sure, I'm sure we can." Rias went to argue but Itachi stepped in.
"Thank you Kaichou, come on Rias. We should rely on others more shouldn't we?" Itachi let a small smile out which made Rias stop talking.
Rias sighed and shook her head, "Thank you, Sona, come on guys let's go rest up." Itachi looked at Akeno who began to distance herself from him. Itachi wanted to go talk to her and Issei, but something came over him. Whatever it was, Itachi didn't fight it as he felt his body fall forward, "Itachi!" Rias shouted causing everyone to turn their heads before anyone knew it. Rias caught Itachi in her arms, "Itachi are you?! Oh…" Rias found him fast asleep in her hold with his head using her bosom as a pillow, "I guess he used up more energy than we thought huh?"
"Itachi was near his limit when fighting Kokabiel at the end. Sure, Itachi could finish Kokabiel normally. However, the fight would have dragged on longer. The quickest way to rid of Kokabiel was using the Susanoo. He is exhausted, but he didn't overtax his body." Albion spoke out for everyone to hear which Rias was thankful for.
"Thanks, Albion, I'll make sure he rests up." Rias looked at everyone else, "Alright everyone go rest up, Irina do you want to stay at the Hyoudou residence? I'm sure Mr. and Mrs. Hyoudou would be okay with it."
"Well… just to make sure Itachi is okay." Irina jumped in willingly to help out Itachi.
"How about you…" Rias stopped as Akeno disappeared in her own magic circle.
"Rest up everyone, good job." Koneko gave everyone a thumbs up leaving.
"Rest well!" Asia said tiredly leaving with Issei as the two walked home.
At Night
Itachi opened his eyes finding himself in a familiar area. Itachi looked out on the water like he did that one night. The blue orb transformed into him, "We meet again Itachi Uchiha… well actually Itachi Hyoudou."
Itachi narrowed his eyes, "What do you want… I'm pretty sure we've never met before."
"Ohoho but we have! I just erased your memories of you and I ever meet. Anyways, that's beside the reason I brought you here." The being walked next to Itachi and looked out at the water.
"Why did you give Issei the Sharingan?" Itachi stated coldly, not very happy that this person gave it to him.
The blue person smirked, "Simple, so you can one day obtain the Mangekyou Sharingan. Maybe even further empower your eye prowess."
"Why though… why even give me this disease?" Itachi asked curiously as the being said nothing.
"Well, you can figure that on your own. I'm quite sure you can see why you have that disease. Anyways, I just want to give you a heads up. Let's just say some of the other… gods are what you call them. Are not too happy about what I did, so I am left with little here. Thankfully, I gave you the power to help yourself." The blue person shrugged his shoulders making Itachi want to find out more.
"What do you mean?" Itachi narrowed his eyes not liking where this was going.
"Well, it's simple a storm is a coming, you lack what is needed to fight what's coming. However, you got some time to awaken even further beyond the Mangekyou Sharingan. What you have within you is already there. You already were implanted with Indra's and Ashura's chakra. All you need now is a healthy body and more training." The blue orb then turned around and began to walk away.
"W-Wait, what do you mean? Who are Indra and Ashura?" Itachi thought back to the Uchiha Stone Table.
Before the person left, "Oh and oh yeah, have some fun with some new abilities. Careful though, if you don't use it wisely. You could cause your sickness to quicken, Kamui, Kagutsuchi, Kotoamatsukami, and Object Manipulation Technique. Have fun learning them." The orb disappeared leaving Itachi alone at the lake again. He looked at his hand to find a strange mark on it. The mark was in the shape of the Gremory House magic circle along with the Uchiha clan symbol in the middle.
Morning
Itachi opened his eyes realizing he was in his bed. However, the sight before him was much to be desired. Itachi saw Rias and Irina both cuddling up next to him in bed. Irina was at least decent to wear pajamas. He had a pair of shorts on, but his chest was bare. However, Rias was butt naked sleeping soundly. Itachi rested his head back on his pillow and stared at the ceiling. Then the scene between Akeno and Kokabiel began to play in his head.
"This lighting… oh are you the daughter of Baraqiel?"
"Don't you dare! Associate me with that man!"
"So, Akeno hates her father huh? Wonder what really happened." Itachi closed his eyes worried about Akeno.
"Itachi you're awake, I'm glad you're okay." Itachi looked down to see Rias awake and smiling at him.
"Y-Yeah I am, I'm fine. Just thinking about what happened with Akeno is all." Itachi looked back up at the ceiling, "By her reaction last night. She hates her father for something, we don't know what happened to her mother. Assuming she was human, was she killed and Akeno's father wasn't there?"
"H-How did you figure that out so quickly!? I know you're a prodigy and all but seriously!" Rias's eyes widen in shock.
"I knew a little bit from Grayfia, only that Akeno's mother was human. That's all I got from her, but now I can see what happened." Itachi wondered if Akeno hates herself or her blood because she is part fallen. Maybe she thinks that he, Issei, and Asia would hate her, because of her blood.
"I see… what do you think about Akeno being part Fallen?" Rias knowing what he was going to say.
"If she is, then she is. Not like we can change that, but Akeno is still Akeno. Regardless of where her heritage comes from." Itachi answered back with no hesitation while keeping his eyes locked on the ceiling.
Rias sat up and leaned over coming face to face with Itachi. Rias's hair created a curtain that blocked the view from the outside world, "I'm glad that you like her for her! That's great Itachi! Then again I'm not surprised." Rias was going to move away, but she found Itachi turning his face away from her, "What's wrong?"
"You're too close." Itachi muttered out which Rias looked down and giggled.
"Oh, come on don't be like that! I'm sure you've always been curious, haven't you?" Rias moved her face closer to Itachi's just being mere inches from his lips. This even made Rias blush at this while keeping her confident persona on.
Itachi closed his eyes and began to get his point across, "I have no need for such thoughts… besides this isn't." Itachi found his lips not moving because there was something stopping him. Itachi opened his eyes to find Rias right up in his face. He found her gentle and wet lips touching his. The two held it there with Itachi not being able to take control of the situation! "Dammit! What do I do here!? I've never kissed someone before! Neither Kaa-san (Miki) or Kaa-sama (Mikoto) have ever told me what to do if I ever got kissed? Even I'm not too sure what to do here!" Itachi had his hand in the air near Rias's shoulders. He didn't know whether to pull her off, hug her, or leave her be!
Before Itachi could think Rias deepen the kiss by pushing closer to him. As well as pushing her entire body onto him. Itachi didn't know what to do, but he found his hand on her back hugging back, "What am I doing… what is this feeling." Itachi wondered himself feeling something warm and fuzzy inside of him. Itachi had no idea what to make of it, or what to call it. Then it hit him, "Wait… is this love… something I never looked into." Itachi wondered to himself still not being able to grasp and analyze the situation. Before more could be done Rias pulled away for hair. He saw her cheeks were flushed and her breathing labored, "T-That was my first kiss… I heard that in Japan. A girl's first kiss is really important."
Itachi wasn't even too sure on what to do or even say. He's never had this type of affection before, "I-I… even with who I am. What I've done… I have no words or reaction to what just happened." Rias could only sigh, to think that Itachi was this power. Knew little to absolutely nothing about relationships.
A/N: That's it! I hope this isn't too fast on their relationship. Now, Itachi isn't an idiot to relationships. However, I'm pretty damn positive that he doesn't know much about them. How to act, how to be a good boyfriend. Even if he really does have those feelings for Rias yet. This is Rias showing her own affection towards him, just there aren't other ways for Rias to show it. As for Itachi's other abilities, will come when it's time. The only ability he can use at the moment is the ability to use telekinesis when he touches something. Idk if it's a thing, but he has to mentally want to place the seal on something to move it mentally. As for Rias and Itachi, it's just beginning. Itachi is gonna learn how to be a boyfriend, he does have feelings for Rias. He just doesn't know how to express it and be a boyfriend. So, it's something new for him to learn. He already knew Rias had feelings along with Irina, and Akeno too. Anyways questions, concerns! Just pm me or leave it in the review! TitanFall007 OUT! Ja Ne!
