START DREAM…
A match on a stick is lit up to make the candles burn their wicks as a womanly voice is spoken out from the background.
"It has been said…" The feminine voice spoke. "That in the end of all things… there will be a new beginning."
The city of Ureh, also known as the Light of Lights, is shown to be defunt and abandoned. The city located in the far east of Kehjistan, said to be a lost city, situated on the slopes of the Mount Nymyr which, with the help of its local sorcerers, got an entrance to Heaven, leaving all of its treasures on Sanctuary.
"But as the shadow once again crawls across the world…" The voice spoke as a chant is sung before the image shifts to another city. That city was Caldeum, Jewel of the East. "And the stench of terror drifts on a bitter wind…"
Into Khanduras lied to the town of Tristram from a very far view. The moon was to the town's right but, oddly enough right above the moon, a falling star or a meteor of some sorts fell, heading straight for the town. Whether it was meant to wipe it out or not is uncertain.
"The people pray for strength and guidance." The voice spoke once again.
Then the next image showed of two guards at Bastion's Keep looking at what appeared to be a shattered mountain, spewing volcanic ash and fire every day as the winds pick it up and drag it east. What most on Sanctuary knew was that this shattered mountain was once Mount Arreat, the former resting site of the Worldstone.
"They should pray for the mercy of a swift death…" The voice said. "For I have seen what the darkness hides."
The Demonic Legions of Hell ride forth from the crater in such large numbers, carrying their war machines out to the battlefield. A flashback image of Tyrael destroying the Worldstone is briefly shown before it reverts back to the Demons marching.
The fallen star over Tristram is shown to be heading for the Cathedral as its interiors shake intensely as the star falls closer. Images of chaos ensues: the fallen star hitting the cathedral, the Demons marching and roaring forth to their call of war from Arreat Crater.
And within the crater lied an unspeakable horror, an evil not meant for anyone to see nor comprehend. An evil that would have them flee in terror and despair.
Within the flames at the end of the dream, Diablo, the Lord of Terror, roars in his unholy glory.
And now…it is no longer considered safe anywhere.
END DREAM…
Aidan, wearing only boxer briefs, wakes up with eyes wide open from the dream he had just seen. It was another one of those nightmares that he has had. One of war, death, violence, and chaos.
And every single one of them ended with Diablo roaring.
Aidan then heard a familiar yet soft groan to his left as he turns his head to find the source. But once he does, it brought only a smile.
Rias Gremory was sleeping soundly next to him, naked with no clothing on at all. She was scooted a little bit upwards from Aidan as he was given a full view of her breasts. Rias' left arm was wrapped around Aidan's head, holding him close to her chest, while her right hand acted as extra support for her despite her head sleeping on the pillow. She had her right leg wrapped around Aidan's left, trapping it between her thighs.
Aidan felt relaxed upon seeing her form. It brought him a sense of peace and comfort as he brings one lock of her hair to the back of her ear. In a way, they could look like they were lovers in bed. They have not had sex yet but their feelings for one another, despite being confessed indirectly, were becoming more and more evident.
Yet as he saw Rias sleeping by his side, dark thoughts of fear filled up Aidan's mind. His sins as of now were real and he will surely pay for them. While he was nearly executed by the Devil nobles, he knew that darker forces hiding within the shadows will eventually come for him. They will want his head on a platter, or worse extract what power he now has for their own evil plans.
If his day of reckoning is at hand, then who will ever celebrate his accomplishments? Who will ever remember who he was before? Who will carry on his legacy to protect Sanctuary from all threats to it?
Who will remember…Somnus?
Aidan's thinking was snapped out of it when he hears a seductive groan coming from Rias. It cleared the nephalem's mind as her stimulating smell, both from her hair and body, filled up in his nose. Truth be told, he was getting use to sleeping with Rias like this and taking in her scent. There was no sexual activity as of them yet but the bond they share is immensely close at this point.
Rias soon woke up and looked down to see her nephalem with a smile of content. "Morning, Somnus."
"Morning, Rias. Did you sleep well?" asked Aidan as he adjusts himself a bit.
"I did," Rias nodded. "I'm sorry if this comes as a surprise to you but I came in after you went to sleep."
"You know I don't mind that," Aidan smiles as he holds her close.
Rias keeps smiling down onto her nephalem Pawn. "I wanted to use you as my hugging pillow."
"Well as much as I want to enjoy this moment between the two of us, we will need to get ready for school."
Rias shifts herself to the point where she lied on top of Aidan, exposing her naked body to him as she cradles him. She leans close to Aidan's face, their foreheads touching one another and her red hair falling around his head. Aidan could feel her breasts pressed up against his chest, not that he minded.
"We still got some time left," She said. "It might be wonderful to stay like this until it's time to wake up. I would so want to deepen our bond between us. Wouldn't you agree, my nephalem?"
Rias then kisses Aidan on the lips passionately Aidan responds back in kind, their tongues dancing with one another as Aidan's hands work slowly down to her hips and near her buttocks. This kind of activity has almost become a daily thing for them every morning when they wake up and night when they go to bed.
And neither of them had any regrets of doing this.
The two let go of each other's lips as a sliver strand of saliva appears before breaking off. Rias then licks her lips seductively, liking the taste.
"You know, Rias…" Aidan said. "Sometimes I just feel like giving in to my urges and taking you right here and now."
"Then, do you want me?" She asked with a sexy tone in her voice, grinding herself a bit on Aidan's lap. "It's alright. You know I'll do anything that pleases you."
With that, Aidan could contain it no longer. And neither could Rias. The two met their lips in the middle again as passion and lust overwhelm them.
Tongues danced with each other as Rias begins to grind herself onto Aidan's lap, feeling something poke her butt from behind. Aidan's left hand soon grabs Rias' right breast, making her moan in the kiss as she tries to breathe for air. But Aidan keeps her lips bound to his as they continue to kiss and play with one another.
But sadly, this moment would be interrupted.
*KNOCK KNOCK*
The two broke off their kiss in surprise as Rias sits up.
"Aidan, it's almost time to wake up," Asia's voice was heard on the other side of the door.
"My, I almost forgot the time," Rias said as she sits up.
Aidan saw the time on his phone and saw that he needed to get up and make breakfast for everyone, given that he now lives with three other people; Rias, Asia, and Uncle Deckard.
"Aidan, can you hear me? Are you still asleep?"
"No, no, I'm awake, Asia," Aidan said as he sat up, with Rias sitting by his left side. "Just wait for me downstairs!"
For her sake, Aidan did not want to see the former nun near naked with Rias in bed. Ever since Rias started living here, the two have been on an on and off rivalry of who will get to pleasure Aidan.
And Rias of course would always accept the challenge. Sometimes arguments were brought about between the two and Aidan has tried to defuse the situation multiple times but to no avail.
"Asia…" Rias called out to the door. "Wait for us a bit longer. Aidan and I need to get ready. We're both still in bed."
Aidan soon had a comical face of shock and dismay at Rias, having just given away their dilemma shamelessly.
The door soon opened violently as Asia stood there in her school uniform. A face of displeasure and jealousy appeared on her as tears began to form.
"Ah… Hey, Asia," Aidan sheepishly greeted. "Morning."
"Morning, Asia," Rias greeted back, without covering herself.
"Hold on a minute, Asia!" Aidan tries to stop the chaos before it begins. "This is…"
"I'm also going to get naked!" Asia exclaimed as she grabbed the hem of her shirt, ready to take it off.
"Oh come on!" A shocking Aidan exclaimed. Even Rias was surprised at this bold move.
"I don't want to be left out!" Asia exclaimed as she pulls her shirt off, bra and all, and tackles into Aidan head on.
Just your average typical morning, like they all say.

(The final scene ends with the King piece and the Red Soulstone)
The day starts off as any other for Aidan once he gets ready for school. After he tries unsuccessfully to quell the argument between Rias and Asia, he slips out quietly into the shower and gets dressed. This has become a normal routine for him since Rias moved in. While he has stated in a letter that he loved Rias, he needed to confirm it face to face with her when the time is right. As for Asia, Aidan did see her as a little sister at first but in time felt something for her. For now though, he best focus on one girl at a time to sort himself out.
Before he knew it, he was at the bottom of the stairs, still feeling a bit tired and sleepy despite the hot shower. After a small yawn, Aidan rubs his eyes and opens them to the point where they were wide as saucers and his mouth left ajar as he suddenly became frozen.
Standing there, side by side, in the kitchen in front of Aidan were Xuelan, Karlamine, and Yubelluna; all of them dressed in sexy French maid uniforms which were sleeveless and exposed their ample cleavages. Xuelan kept her Chinese buns and Karlamine her headband but Yubelluna wore a maid headpiece to replace her crown, along with putting her hair down in two ponytails.
"Good morning, master!" They said together and bowed and smiled. "We're here for your service!"
Aidan was shocked. "…Uh, what?" His jaw fell to the floor and his eyes widened, shocked not only to see them in maid outfits. When at last he regained himself, he asked, "How did you get here? And what is up with the maid outfits?"
"Uncle Deckard let us in when we arrived a couple hours ago," Xuelan revealed as the three stand upright. "As for the maid outfits, well…" The three blush and turned away but that made Aidan question them more.
"They will be your maids starting today," A familiar voice from the kitchen sounded. Aidan looks to see, to his surprise once more, it was Grayfia, standing beside Uncle Deckard as he eats his toast and drinks his coffee while reading the newspaper with glasses on.
"G-G-G-G-Grayfia?!" A shocked Aidan jumped. "But how did—"
"Sirzechs has decided that, as proper punishment for my unwilling actions of helping you break in the treasury vault, that I become the maid to your Uncle," Grayfia explained as she pours more coffee for Deckard.
"And she has been most helpful for me," Deckard pointed out.
"Uncle!" A shocked Aidan cried. "You're okay with this?"
"I am," Deckard said. "I am getting too old for many things, and with you busy as you are, I need some extra help from someone. No offense."
"N-None intended. But still… of all people, Grayfia? And how did you get them to be my maids?"
"That's what I want to know as well," A stern voice caused Aidan to freeze and slowly turn around to find Rias and Asia standing by the base of the stairs, fully dressed in their school uniforms. The crimson-haired girl glared at Aidan and the maids with her arms crossed under her breast, while Asia looked upset with tear eyes. "Grayfia, what do you have to say?"
Grayfia speaks on behalf of the three former Phenex servants, standing up in front of them. "After you rescued Aidan from Tristram, these three decided that they want to be free from Riser Phenex's Peerage, having suffered enough under his cruelty and having felt abandoned by him on the day of the attempted assassination. Their life debt to Aidan was one they wished to fulfill so after they spoke to Lord and Lady Phenex, they decided to release them in gratitude for Ravel's resurrection. They are no longer bound to the Peerage."
Rias listens carefully and, after careful consideration, accepts it…for now. "Very well. You may stay. But if you three should ever backstab us at any time…"
The three maids nod in understanding.
"So… why maids?" asked Asia.
"Lady Grayfia, as the head maid of this household, has been teaching us proper etiquette though we are all still learning," Yubelluna explains.
"Head maid?" asked Asia.
"Starting today, I and the others will care for Deckard Kain on the request of your brother," Grayfia revealed.
"Onii-sama ordered this?" asked Rias. "Somehow, I find that hard to believe."
Aidan decides to end this right here and now as breakfast needed to be served.
"So, what exactly are we having for breakfast?" asked Aidan.
"English breakfast, Aidan," Deckard Kain revealed as the maids went to work preparing for the meals under Grayfia's guidance. "Get yourselves ready at the table."
Without further ado, breakfast was served in the course of an English Breakfast. During breakfast, Aidan learns that the Phenex servants were not just going to be his maids for when they are not performing their maid duties, they are off training.
Xuelan is revealed to be a student of Kharazim alongside Koneko as the two of them train and spar in the mountains under Kharazim's tutelage. Karlamine, believe it or not, is learning how to be a blacksmith under Johanna. It may also be likely that Karlamine has been chosen as an apprentice crusader to the Zakarum warrior. As for Yubelluna, she was learning new magic under Li-Ming, the infamous Rebellious Wizard of Xiansai. Turns out Li-Ming was a teacher under Chinese Studies at Kuoh Academy, thus making time for training after school seem almost practical.
After finishing their meals, Rias, Aidan, and Asia walk over to school. Rias clung to Aidan's side and walked with him cheerfully while Asia pouted and clung to his other arm. Aidan had no choice but to endure and struggle all the way from their constant argument.
Grayfia and Deckard Kain follow suite a short time later after Uncle Deckard gets everything ready and has Grayfia drive him. It was going to be strange for Deckard, as a professor, to be accompanied by a beautiful maid and he will most definitely receive glares of jealousy from staff and students. But thanks to the approval by the principal through the persuasion of the Student Council citing Deckard's age, it should not be proven too much of a hassle.
The Phenex Maids were ordered to clean up the kitchen and serve themselves breakfast under Grayfia's orders.
It was already a bright day at Kuoh Academy and the weather across all of Kuoh Town had started to become warmer due to the imminent arrival of spring.
Aidan was already leaning back in his chair, trying to relax as he reflects on the most recent of events. Since the Rating Game against Riser, he and the ORC had been through a lot. They had finally gotten a real taste of fighting the ancient enemy of old, have history be unfolded before them, and accept the fact that the universe is much bigger than what they could ever imagine.
"First Rias moves in after Asia, and the two start a rivalry over me." Aidan speaks to himself. "Now Karlamine, Yubelluna, and Xuelan move in and become my maids. Not to mention Grayfia is also there, teaching them proper etiquette and taking care of Uncle Deckard." Aidan's mind flashes back to early morning of the French maids. "Of all the outfits to choose from though, why would they go with a maid's uniform?"
"What was that?" A familiar voice asked, bringing Aidan out of his own thoughts as he looked to see three people in front of him, which unsurprisingly were the Perverted Trio, Issei included.
"You need something?" asked Aidan casually.
Motohama placed his hands on the desk and leaned closer to Aidan. "There are some rather odd rumors about you going around, so you might want to be more careful."
Aidan was not buying it though. "Rumors are just gossip with no evidence to back it up. And clearly you three have little evidence to support."
"Really?" asked the glasses pervert. "What about the fact that you've played around with beautiful girls like you were some sort of wild beast."
"Say what?" asked a confused Aidan.
"Yea, yeah!" Matsuda, the bald-headed one, exclaimed. "For real man. They say you got a hold of Rias and Akeno, and forced them to evil, sexual acts against their will. Making them say such dirty profanity!"
Aidan was still confused yet keeps calm sheepishly speaking. "Boys, if I ever did such a thing, I'm pretty sure I would be kicked out of the school at any minute right now."
"There's more," It was now Issei's turn, much to Aidan's chagrin. "They say that you've bitten your fangs into the school's mascot, Koneko, who has the cutest loli body ever. That you've devoured in intense sexual intercourse that could easily break her body. Feasting on her undeveloped body like a carnivorous beast! And now your lust has now reached the angel who had just transferred to our school, Asia!"
As all three perverts agreed, their imaginations turned lewd as they see all four girls in question either naked or in their lingerie on a white bed surrounded by pink light staring at Aidan either lustfully or embarrassingly, ready to be taken by him. Aidan was surprised on Issei, for despite being respected Pawns despite little to no interaction with one another, he was still perverted in his mind.
Thank god he was not in Rias' Peerage and was in Sona's, just to keep his urges in check.
"Soo…" Aidan had to ask. "Who is spreading these rumors?"
"Well, that was us," Matsuda admitted.
"Say what now?" asked Aidan.
"Oh crap!" Motohama exclaimed, getting closer to his face to the point Aidan brought his head back due to bad breath. "If you don't let us know what you know, we'll go crazy with jealousy!"
"Yeah!" Motohama joined in. "And it'd already be too late, see!"
"Here here!" Issei agreed. "Please, Aidan, help out a fellow brother here."
"We are also spreading a rumor about you and Kiba being a gay couple, which has gotten popular among the girls—"
*BAM*
*POW*
*PING*
Aidan just bashed the Perverted Trio in the heads, giving them really bad bumps as he holds his right fist up with his patience wearing thin. All three fell to the floor with bruised faces and lumpy heads.
"Guys, just do me a favor, and go play your own eroge stuff after school is over," Aidan said.
"Are those three harassing you again?" asked a voice that Aidan turned his head to see.
"As usual, Kiriyuu," Aidan said as he looks back down. Standing next to Aika Kiriyuu was Asia, smiling as usual.
"Asia," Kiriyuu turned to her best friend. "There are so many other nice boys around. You know you don't have to be his girlfriend if it is uncomfortable to you."
This caused the former nun to fluster. "B-B-B-Boyfriend?!"
"Eh? I'm wrong? But the two of you are always together, so I thought you guys were going out," pointed out the perverted glasses girl.
"T-t-that's… Auu…" Asia's face turned red in embarrassment.
"Hmmm, is that so? You guys look like a cute couple. Think about it. The Dark Prince of Kuoh and the Angel of Kuoh Academy always together and getting along so well to the point they live in Professor Kain's house. A young boy and a girl living under one roof."
Aika then walks up to Aidan, stepping over the unconscious Perverted Trio. "And if I can make a guess: you two haven't properly bathed together yet, have you?"
"Not yet," Aidan casually said immediately. No feelings were held behind it, not even embarrassment.
Aika sighs, "That's understandable, I suppose. You are by far the largest pair I've ever seen. I mean, you would have hurt her more than pleased her, so maybe I can be there to fill in the sexual void—"
"Aaaah!" Please stop, Kiriyuu! We're not a couple!"
Asia had cut Kiriyuu off by placing both of her hands over her mouth just to shut her up. Aidan could not help but chuckle a little.
Suddenly, a quick throbbing pain came from Aidan's left bandaged arm. He grabs one part of the bandage away to see a familiar black vein crop up, showcasing corruption. Hiding it away immediately, he turns to Asia.
"Asia, I need to take care of something, okay?"
Asia was confused at first and looked with a puzzled expression until her eyes saw him grabbing his left arm, which then notified her of why he needed to leave.
"Yeah, sure," She responded, letting go of Kiryuu.
Aidan soon makes a dash to the door without being seen.
After Aidan left the classroom, he ends up at the ORC building. Whenhe opened the door to the clubroom, he saw that there wasn't anyone there. Stepping into the room and hearing the door close behind him, his ears pick up to the sound of water running from a shower in another room behind a closed door.
Then there was a soft humming of a woman's voice. Aidan recognized it as Akeno's.
"Akeno?" Aidan calls out. "Are you in there?"
"Aidan?" Akeno asked in a joyful tone. "Are you looking for Rias?"
"Ah, no," Aidan responded. "My left arm has been corrupted again, so I was just wondering if you could take care of that."
"Sure! You get ready, while I finish up here."
Aidan nodded and walked out of the room. Upon exiting, he finds another door leading to another room that was very traditional in terms of its appearance. It was mostly Japanese complete with shoji panels and tatami mats, but it was mostly empty. Symbols decorated around the room that looked like certain casting spells, along with items stacked in the room and a magic circle in the middle of it all.
Without wasting time, Aidan strips himself down to the point he wore only his boxer briefs. This was all part of a ritual to scatter the power raging through him. Since the Skeleton King fight, Aidan's tainted arm had been corrupted to the point where conventional magic was rendered useless. So it was decided that a more traditional method was to be used in order to contain the corruption at bay.
It is done to keep the powers of his Sacred Gear in check since Aidan cannot disperse it away normally. With the soulstone shard now fused with the Al'Diabolos Terror Claws, Aidan's power had grown but so too had the corruption from it. It was not just black veins that begun to appear but also of the fact that his left arm was growing and taking shape similar to the Sacred Gear.
Aidan however was not the only one having to go through with this as Issei, the bearer of the Boosted Gear and Pawn of Sona Sitri's Peerage, also had to go through the same process, having given up his left arm in exchange for power in the fight against Diablo. Luckily for him, some members of the Council, like Tsubasa Yura or Meguri Tomoe had managed to help him scatter his power.
After removing most of his clothing, Aidan walks over to the circle and sits down in the middle in a seiza position. All he had to do now was wait for Akeno.
Aidan however could not blush a bit. Despite doing this ritual before, only Rias and Akeno have the potential to scatter his demonic power from his body and render his arm back to normal.
And it involves some very lecherous actions, one Aidan does not seem to mind. At first he had trouble containing his hormones but realized that holding them back will only intensify the contained jar and make it break.
The sound of the door opening and closing made Aidan look up to see Akeno herself, wearing nothing but a drenched white bathrobe that attracted to her perfect figure. Her skin was glistening from the shower water, making it even more so.
"I'm sorry to make you wait," Akeno said as she unties the orange ribbon at the back of her hair, letting it all down. But this, in Aidan's eyes, made her even more beautiful than ever.
"It's okay, Akeno," Aidan said. "I'm more sorry you have to keep doing this."
But Akeno chuckles. "Ufufufu. That isn't your fault, Aidan," She told him, walking up and sitting in front of him in a seiza position. "Shall we begin?"
Without wasting time, Aidan unwraps the bandages of his left arm and holds it out front, showcasing the corruption. His arm was nearly black in color and it made Akeno gasp a little before she regained her composure.
"Did something happen, Aidan?" Akeno asked.
"Well…" Aidan blushes. "You just look stunning when wet and…you're almost naked."
"I was taking a shower when you came looking for me, but I guess that's a good thing since it is part of the ritual," Akeno informed him, before she took his corrupted left hand. "I didn't have time to dry myself properly."
Aidan smiles, "I wouldn't want anything more."
Akeno seemed to enjoy flirting with Aidan, as did the nephalem in question. She began rubbing her hands over Aidan's left hand, sending arousing sensations throughout his body despite his hand feeling cold to the touch.
"You look beautiful in it," Aidan said. "Sexy even."
"That's so sweet of you to say," responded Akeno. "But the issue you're having is with your Sacred Gear's power, along with the corruption that comes with it. It is far stronger than any of us expected thanks to the red soulstone shard now infused within it. Rias' magic could not tamper with it, and Asia's braid, while effective at first, was now rendered useless due to the corruption's adaptability. And my magic and Asia's can only disguise your arm back to normal."
Akeno stops rubbing the hand and brings it close to her head. "To drain the energy directly from your finger, pulling accumulated energy out of your left arm and subduing the corruption. While this works for those with dragon spirits, I dread to wonder about a Demon's, much less a nephalem."
Aidan however reassures Akeno, "I trust you, Akeno. I trust you in what you are doing. So long as this pain goes away, I will keep doing this with you as much as you want."
Akeno was a bit surprised at first but nonetheless smiles, if not giggles behind her back. She then proceeds to stick Aidan's index finger into her mouth, making an obscene water sound.
Aidan fought hard to keep himself from moaning, but the sensation was something he truly couldn't describe with words nor resist forever. While this is not the first time his fingers have ended up in Akeno's mouth in such a lecherous environment, the urge remained all the same as it continued to build. Her mouth and the way she twiddled with the fingers were warm and slippery, her lips so soft and her saliva like goo.
The only one moaning was Akeno who was holding Aidan's finger with both of her hands, leaning closer into him as she sucks on it eagerly and hungrily.
But she wanted more than just fingers.
Aidan's hormones rage out of control, his primal instincts telling him to take Akeno right here and now. To fill her up with his essence that grew down beneath his boxer briefs. While he did feel the corruption and the power within slipping away from his left arm, it was not as powerful enough as the sensation he was getting from this erotic situation. He wondered if this power and purging of corruption made Akeno more lustful than what she was when first meeting her,
Akeno suddenly started licking Aidan's fingers, causing him to shut his eyes yet he contained his moan and grunted slightly. He looked with one right eye open to see Akeno with a mischievous expression, her sadist personality overtaking her as she was being turned on. She started to twirl around his finger with the tip of her tongue, before taking the finger out of her mouth with a thread of saliva leaving.
"Ara ara. If you make a reaction like that, then I feel like giving you more service," said the beautiful young woman.
Aidan then looks at the clock, his primal lust overwhelming his sense of reason. "Well, we got plenty of time."
Akeno then adjusts herself as she sits on Aidan's lap, the nephalem grasping her hips as she wraps her arms around his neck.
"You know, I've always wanted to adore you," Akeno said, surprising Aidan as she presses her breasts against his chest. "Even though I act like this, I've taken a great liking towards you, Aidan. You're not even afraid to flirt back."
"You know, you still haven't explained why you are bare under all that," Aidan could to help but look at her cleavage. Akeno brings a finger under his chin to look back at her.
"It's all part of the ritual. I'd be willing to go even further. But if I make a move on you, then Rias would get jealous. And we both know what she's like when she's upset." She giggles as she picks up Aidan's hand from her hip and brings it to her face, caressing it. "For now, we better stay standing on ceremony." Akeno began to lick the palm of Aidan's hand to the tip of his fingers.
Aidan went back to his slight grunts, trying to keep his moans contained. Akeno sucked the energy out again as the corruption from the arm died down and reverted it to normal. Aidan's cheeks blushed red, yet he could not help but be captivated by Akeno's seductive beauty.
A few seconds later, Akeno was finally finished with the task and took Aidan's finger out of her mouth with a thread of saliva. "The power is gone, and the corruption has subsided," She said with a smile. "You should be okay for now."
"Thank you, Akeno," Aidan said with a grateful smile. He was about to get up but Akeno did not let him go, leaving the two sitting and holding one another. "Something wrong?" asked Aidan in concern.
"Np, its nothing like that," said the Priestess of Thunder. "It's just that… do you remember what happened to Riser when you battled him? During the Rating Game?"
"I haven't forgotten," Aidan immediately said, remembering it all.
"After the battle was over, I watched after you for a time in your room," Akeno said with her head tilted down, covering her eyes as if she was trying to hide her sorrowful face. "Despite what was happening to your body, you continued to stand and fight time and time again, even as you were out of control and near death. When I learned that you were nephalem, I now saw why you went to such extreme lengths. You are the true definition of a nephalem, Aidan. Despite what Diablo did to you, despite your exile, you never allowed your despair to drive you to the point of madness." She looked directly at him with her eyes now open. Aidan was surprised when she began to trace her finger on his chest, mainly on the scars. "Ufu. Sometimes I think about you and the area around my breast and near my lower part gets wet and hot. And I can't help it. But when I try to make you enjoy something like this, the instinct of a sadist inside of me rises… I wonder, could this be love?"
"Perhaps…" Aidan responded as he stares back at Akeno while the latter looks at him with loving eyes. He could have sworn he was seeing a sparkle of affection and of love linger.
And deep in his heart, despite what he feels for Rias, he felt the same for Akeno.
Then, without knowing it, the two lean in for a passionate kiss. There were no feelings behind it but it nonetheless made the two want each other more as Aidan could feel Akeno's soft lips on his like peach.
The two soon release yet were baffled by what had just happened.
"That…" Akeno blushed. "Was my first."
She was panting heavily but not out of heat or for air from the kiss. This was a pant of lust, of wanting something more.
"I feel so…hot," Akeno said. "I want… I want to taste Aidan. I want to taste more of you, to get all of the energy out."
Although Aidan knew what Akeno was proposing and that such a thing of what she said may seem impossible or impractical, he could not deny the urge within him to take Akeno right here and now and give her what they both want.
Aidan however will have to do his best to hold back and remain a virgin. If anything, his slightly perverted mind wants to give his virginity away to Rias before moving onto other people. His feelings for her are more evident after all and vice versa.
But he wouldn't mind doing some sexual activity with Akeno, no matter what it is. After all, there was one way to build off stress from the lower part of his pants.
Akeno got all seductive as she traces her fingers across Aidan's scars on his chest. "I'm just dying to know what it is like having fun with a nephalem such as yourself. Do you want me? It's alright. You can do whatever you want…master."
This made Aidan intrigued as he smirks a little, his inner nature taking hold.
"Alright, my little slave. But just to let you know though…" Aidan suddenly pushes Akeno onto her back with him on top. "I like to be in control."
(LIME WARNING)
And with that, Aidan presses his lips with Akeno's and hard. The Priestess of Thunder was surprised before she adjusts and kisses back, her tongue colliding with Aidan's. During that intense moment, Aidan removes Akeno's wet robe, feeling it slip off like it was wet cloth as he tosses it aside. He then removes her orange ribbon by her hair, letting down her hair that made her even more beautiful in Aidan's eyes.
The two continue to passionately kiss one another as their hands begin to explore each other's bodies. Aidan went for the hips before he grabbed Akeno's tush, making the Queen moan a little while she wraps tighter around the nephalem. Their French kissing became more and more wet as their tongues battle for dominance over one another.
Akeno soon flips Aidan over and pushes his hands down to the floor to hold him there. Letting go of his lips, she begins to kiss and lick at Aidan's neck, making him grunt a bit before she goes down bit by bit. On his right nipple, she sucks it and licks him but goes further down before she sees his boxer briefs. Akeno knew what lied beneath them and rips them away without tearing them apart.
Akeno then beholds her prize, which was ten inches long. It was hard and thick, ready to leak just a breath away from the sadistic succubus-like Devil.
"Wow…" Akeno was amazed. "It's so big…"
She could not wait any longer as she begins stroking it with her hands, so much that Aidan's precum started to leak out from the top. Akeno then began to slurp it up, giving the nephalem a moan.
Akeno, due to her sadistic nature, wanted to take the time to make Aidan feel good so she starts at the base below and begins to lick upwards to the tip. She cups his two orbs in her hands and fondles them, making him groan even more. Akeno could see Aidan's eyes close as he lied on the floor, his face tense up from the sudden coolness on his shaft and the blowjob.
She giggles. "Ara ara, so you do like that, don't you?"
Aidan could not speak a word, too high on the lust that overwhelmed him. But this made Akeno even more excited.
"I wonder what happens when I begin to do this~?"
With greedy eyes, she lowers her head downwards and begins to consume the ten-inch-long phallus. She took her time with it as the shaft increases in width, encompassing her mouth. Her saliva begins to ooze from her mouth and cover the phallus like greasy oil.
She bobs back and forth slowly before increasing her pace. Aidan's hands found their way to her head as he caresses her hair and pushes her down further to the point his dick goes into her throat every time she goes down.
And she loved it all the same.
"Do you like that?" She asks in a muffled voice. "I can't wait to see how much you shoot out from what you have in here." As she said that last phrase seductively, she grasps the two orbs by Aidan's junk and squeezes somewhat tight, making his phallus in her mouth bigger.
Akeno continues her seductive taunt despite doing her work on the shaft. "You are my master. Please, tell this slave what she should do~."
With those words, Aidan's hidden seductive side that he never knew is triggered. "Suck harder and faster." He growls.
Akeno complies as she increases her speed, wanting more and more of the dick. She feels herself growing wet down by the middle front of her legs and begins tubbing herself onto Aidan's leg, feeling his smooth shaved skin rub her and make her even more wet. She moans just as much from sucking the shaft as she rubs her wet essence over his right leg.
Aidan was on cloud nine for about five minutes, enjoying the sucking of his phallus by Akeno and the rubbing of her wet privates
Akeno soon lets go of the cock, leaving a saliva trail as she licks her lips. "Well, how was that for a service, master~? Ufufufufu~!"
But this is where Aidan comes on his own since he was now fully consumed by lust thanks to Akeno's tease. Pushing Akeno down, he stands on his knees with his penis right over her head. He inserts it between her breasts that were sandwiched as Akeno sees the tip of it right before her mouth.
"Your punishment for stopping when I never asked you to," Aidan said in somewhat a flirty voice.
She was amused. "Ara ara. So rough with me. And here I thought you were going to claim my virginity right here and now~"
Aidan, consumed by his inner instinct, gently grabs Akeno by the hair with his left hand. "A slave such as you does not speak before her master."
But Akeno giggled and smiled seductively, impressed at Aidan's rough use of words and of how he had managed to fire back. With no time to waste, he shoves his phallus right into Akeno's mouth at the same time he brings Akeno's mouth down onto it The Queen takes it in all in stride, using her tongue to lick the tip as she uses her hands to massage her breasts up and down on the shaft.
She moans in bliss as she starts to feel even more wet down below, prompting her to take her right hand to reach down and play with herself. This increased her ecstasy levels to the point she wanted more. Slowly but surely, she inserts a finger, and then another, into herself, playing and moaning.
A mere three minutes into this, and the two were nearing climax. Akeno moans louder and fingers faster while also sucking harder and getting all ten inches down her throat without gagging.
"Akeno, I'm gonna—" Aidan cries out. "GUH!"
A massive amount of white cum erupts in Akeno's mouth while at the same time, her cum from her lower front sprays out from her fingers and covers the floor. Akeno's mouth was full of Aidan's cum that his phallus popped out like a cock and continued spraying more onto the Queen, covering her face, breasts, and hair in the stuff.
"AAAAHHHH~!" Akeno screams lustfully as she is sprayed with the stuff and is filled with a mouthful of it. "It's here! This is…Aidan's nephalem essence!"
They stay like this for a whole minute as Aidan releases almost every last drop onto Akeno, the Queen taking great pleasure in it.
Aidan falls over to Akeno's side exhausted and panting, the two of them overheated from their intense make out.
(END LIME)
The school bell suddenly rang, causing Aidan to get up and grab his clothes. Swiftly he puts them back on except for his shirt. He then takes one last look behind to see Akeno, still covered in his essence and smiling sadistically.
"We should do this again, Aidan," She suggested.
Aidan smiled. "I look forward to next time."
Aidan then takes his leave out of the door, leaving the Priestess of Thunder be as she giggles sadistically, scooping a bit of essence into her finger and laughing in ecstasy.
AIDAN'S HOUSE…
A short time later after school had ended, everyone was gathered over at Aidan's house for their club meeting, mainly in his bedroom. While Akeno, Kiba, and Koneko were surprised to see the former Phenex servants there and Grayfia, they understood the situation that Aidan explained regarding either their life debt or to help Uncle Deckard with his age.
Not wanting to be disrupted from their meeting, they all assembled in Aidan's room.
"This month's contract numbers are in," Rias announced as she drank her tea, sitting on Aidan's bed while the rest sat on the floor. "Akeno; eleven."
"That's right." Akeno confirmed.
"Koneko; ten."
"Yup," The cat-like girl nodded.
"Kiba; eight."
"Sounds correct."
"Asia has three."
"Y-Yes!" She said as the others look proudly at her.
"No way!" Kiba smiles. "That's impressive Asia."
"Good for you, Asia," Akeno giggled. "Be proud of it."
"Especially considering you're brand new to contracts," Koneko said.
Asia was beyond happy for words of such praise. "Oh my goodness. Thank you!" She said to them with closed eyes and a smile.
"As for Aidan…" Rias continued where she left off. Taking a quick sip of her tea before saying "Two so far."
"Sounds about right," Aidan acknowledged. Those two were from Johanna and Alrik. The one with Kharazim was disrupted by the Siegebreaker Assault Beast in the mountains, thereby making the contract ineligible. As for why there was only two, well…a lot has happened.
"It isn't a bad start," Rias said. "But it isn't enough. Despite not being a Devil, you are still a Pawn of the Peerage. Therefore you will have to find a way to make sure you complete those contracts. That way you can rise to the ranks of a High-Class Devil."
"Why not just give him the title anyway?" Akeno quipped. "His power is already considered a High-Class."
"I won't deny that," acknowledged a smiling Rias. "But to simply slap a title like that, especially onto a non-Devil, would a little unconventional and I am pretty sure the nobles who still want him dead will never acknowledge that."
Rias was right. If he was going to be a strong Pawn under Rias, then he needed to gain more contracts. Hopefully they won't end up with him being in danger all the time or that he has to travel far.
Aidan then hears something outside of his room. For certain, it was one of the maids' voices saying, "So cute!" and it was coming from downstairs. Rias was about to proceed with the meeting when she noticed her nephalem distracted by something else.
"Is everything okay, Aidan?" asked a concerned Rias as the others look on.
"Hey!" Aidan calls out to the door. "What's going on over there?"
With no answer, Aidan goes to investigate the sound and, after going downstairs, sees Uncle Deckard with a scrapbook containing photos.
"This was when we were in Romania," Deckard explained as he showed a picture of him and a younger Aidan in Transylvania, exploring Bran Castle which where the legend of Dracula originated from. Xuelan, Karlamine, Yubelluna, and even Grayfia surrounded the old man looking at the pictures.
"He's so adorable!" Karlamine squealed in a cute way, who apparently had a fetish for cute things.
"Uncle! When did you—"
"Your maids and Grayfia wanted to know more about our adventures," Deckard said. "I thought it would be nice for them to stay awhile and listen."
Yubelluna got off the couch and stoof in a formal maid-like stance. "I'm the one to find it, master," she said with an apologetic bow. "I was cleaning when I stumbled upon the photo albums. I asked your Uncle about what you and he did growing up so we…stayed awhile and listened."
Aidan sighs, accepting the justification. "Just keep it down since the meeting is being held in my room."
"Meeting's over!" Rias cried.
"Wait what?" cried Aidan as everyone was startled by the voice of Rias, who somehow with the ORC teleported to the couch to look at more photo albums. "How did you—"
"Ara ara, so you stumbled upon the Red Light District when you were lost, huh?" Akeno amusingly giggled, showing a young Aidan who was lost and surrounded by hookers. "I bet the females loved it when you were there."
"…An embarrassing past from Aidan-senpai," Koneko said.
Aidan sighs, trying to hide his embarrassing blush, remembering that horrible time.
For a while, Aidan is left to his own corner while the girls, the maids, and Uncle Deckard look through the photo album that documented all of the adventures of the Last Horadrim and his adopted nephew. Some pictures looked amazing, others unique, and a few so embarrassing. There was even one of Deckard speaking to two beautiful ladies and Aidan giving a confused look of why they were wearing bunny ears while cosplaying.
"Someone please kill me…" Aidan mutters to himself, embarrassed.
"Hey, Aidan," Kiba said, catching the attention of the nephalem. "This picture." The Knight points to one where it showed a young Aidan with what seemed like a girl but dressed as a boy his age. "What is this?"
"Oh that? That was when I was in Rome with Uncle Deckard, exploring the papal tombs underneath the Vatican. At the place where we were living, there was this tomboy girl that I use to play with a lot while Uncle Deckard was busy with his studies. Once her parents got a job overseas, they had to move. I…may have forgotten her name though."
"One more thing," Kiba asked in a serious tone as he points to a sword hanging over the fireplace. "Do you remember this sword?"
"I was only five at the time this was taken," Aidan said regrettably. "Why do you ask?"
"I never would have thought that I would see it in a picture with you in it. Imagine that." Kiba's eyes were then filled with hatred as he stares at the sword in question.
"What do you mean?" Aidan asked curiously.
"That…is a Holy Sword."
Later on that night, Aidan was off to perform another contract. Strangely enough, this one was from someone living in the next neighborhood, which Aidan decides to walk there. This contract though was strange as its identifier was supposedly a friend of Uncle Deckard's. Aidan could only hope that this one would be a success given that he is one contract behind Asia despite having a smaller amount compared to the others.
But Aidan's mind wondered about Kiba's attitude about the Holy Sword in the picture. As far as he knew him, Kiba was always a nice and humble person, keeping his head in the game despite the odds. Yet Aidan could not help but fear something regarding Kiba's unknown past catching up to him. He hadn't taken the time to speak to him on such things.
Aidan, after walking some good distance, reaches out to a large apartment building. "Here we are."
Heading into the building and up on a few floors, Aidan arrives at the door of his client, ringing the doorbell.
The door opens halfway and standing there was a tall man looking in his forties with black hair, golden bangs, and a black goatee, wearing a black kimono of sorts.
"Greetings. "I'm the Devil you called for," Aidan said. Because he was still a Pawn to Rias and that not everyone knows he is nephalem, he was told by Rias to keep it discreet and pretend he is still a Devil to the public.
"Funny, I was expecting some sort of summoning ritual circle to pop up into my room," The man replied as he lets Aidan in.
"Your apartment location was close by. Figured I could walk instead of waste magic," Aidan said. He felt surprised for not being criticized for that or for not being one of the girls.
Walking into the dark room, Aidan was surprised by all of the nice furniture in the living room. He sits down on one of the three sofas and looked around the place, remarking that this contract person and friend of Uncle Deckard's must be rich. He wasn't Japanese, that was for certain, despite the kimono. Aidan tries to get his identity via magic secretly, but for some reason could not make out of this stranger.
The door opens to reveal the man standing at the doorway with a silver tray that contained silver cups and some scotch.
"Care for a drink?" The man asked.
"I may not be legal enough, but sure why not?" asked Aidan. The man pours him some scotch on the rocks and hands it over to Aidan. Aidan takes a sip yet finds it so bitter, enough to make a sour-like face.
But the man was well-prepared for this. "Here. Let me get you something more sweeter that way you don't go home drunk."
Taking Aidan's cup, the man goes in the back for a few seconds before coming out with what looked like the same drink in hand.
"Rusty Nail Cocktail," The man hands it over to Aidan. "This should eliminate some of that bitterness."
"Thanks," Aidan takes a sip and finds it much better to his taste. "I take it you just want to have a drinking partner for tonight?" Aidan deduced. "Someone to talk to about life and such?"
"Something like that," The man sits down and relaxes back. "From what I hear from your Uncle, you have been busy as the rumors have been holding."
Aidan froze up for a second, wondering if this man knew of the recent events. "You… could say that. You know you haven't introduced your name."
"Oh right," The man replied. "Forgot about that. The name's Ahz. You?"
"Aidan."
"Well, cheers to you then, Aidan." The man holds out his cup. Aidan does the same and a clink echoes as they made cheers.
Throughout the night, the two talk for a while and shared some casual laughs and jokes. But eventually, time was up.
"So, what's my payment?" asked the man. "I'm guessing you want my soul?"
"Ha! If I did, Ahz, I'd have already taken it," replied Aidan.
"Oh? Well that's a bit unexpected. Then will these do?" Ahz points to and pulls out a briefcase containing paper. When handed to Aidan, he examines the contents and sees them to be old scrolls of sort.
But the surprising part of it was that they were sealed with a symbol of the Horadrim.
"Where did you-?" asked Aidan.
"Auctioneer," Ahz replied. "Bought it for a quarter of a million."
"I'll take it then," Aidan replied, closing the briefcase.
'I'm sure Uncle Deckard will want to have a look at these.'
After saying goodbye to Ahz, Aidan begins to walk back home from the apartment. For once, his contract was something that did not require hard work unlike Johanna's and Alrik's. Oddly enough, it felt good.
Suddenly, Aidan's phone rang, letting him know he has a text address from Rias to meet her and the others there. Without wasting time, he opens a Town Portal to the location.
A blue portal shimmers and reveals itself to the ORC, and out pops Aidan with a briefcase he sets aside for later. Looking around, Aidan saw he was at an abandoned building that must have been part of an old production factory.
"Aidan!" Rias' voice was heard as he looked to see her and the others, joining up with them. "I'm sorry I had to make you come out this late," she said, her arms crossed with a serious expression.
"Not a problem, Buchou," Aidan replied. "I just finished up with a contract."
Yet as Rias approaches Aidan, she could not help but smell something funny about his breath.
"Were you…drinking?" She asked.
"My contract wanted to have a drinking partner for tonight," Aidan explained. "But don't worry. I'm not drunk despite not being my first time with alcohol."
Rias sighs, "Well, as long as you can still see and talk clearly, it's okay."
"So what is it this time?" asked Aidan. "Stray Devil or Demon?"
"The former," Koneko said, making Aidan understand the severity of the situation. "Yet we were also told of demonic activity happening in this building as well."
"We've been given orders to take it down before the night is over."
"Whatever it is, it must be extremely dangerous." Rias explained. "We should not try to fight it inside. Asia, you wait at the rear."
Asia, with An'Naresh at the ready, obeys. "Yes, Buchou."
"Akeno and I will be ready and waiting outside. So Koneko, Kiba, and Aidan will have to draw it out."
"Sounds good," Akeno said.
"Right," Koneko nodded.
"Understood," Aidan complied as he summons up Silentium, along with the Al'Diabolos Terror Claws on his left arm.
But when Rias looked at Kiba, she noticed that he seemed absent-minded and deep in his own world. "Kiba?" she asked.
This made Kiba snap out of his deep state. "Oh, right. Sorry."
Aidan looked at Kiba oddly, wondering what made him respond so late into the game. He will have to shake it off for now to deal with the menace behind the walls.
"Koneko, Kiba, with me," Aidan takes the lead as the other two follow. Once they arrive at the metal doors, Aidan nods to Koneko who brings her arm back and launches a fist forward.
"BAM*
The doors swing open violently from Koneko's punch as the trio move in, with Kiba walking in as he was still distracted form his own thoughts.
Surrounded by darkness, Aidan orders, "Back to back."
The trio have each other's backs as they look around their surroundings. Though the building was abandoned, the moonlight illuminated enough around the room to show the Stray Devil.
"…There she is," Koneko said.
At first, the Stray Devil seemed to be just a woman's head poking out from behind some machinery and was naked, until her face changed to have a large mouth with sharp teeth and eyes that were large and black. Her body changed to resemble a genetic mutation of a spider and a human, with wings.
Despite looking like a Stray Devil though, Aidan noticed something about her appearance.
"A Stray Devil turned Demon," He notes.
The Demon launches itself into the air.
"Scatter!" Aidan tells the other two as they get out of the way, with Kiba barely moving out of its reach.
"Kiba, stay focused!" Koneko told the blond knight, but there was no response. All he was doing was standing there looking at the ground. "…What are you doing? Hey, Kiba!"
"Huh?" Kiba finally snaps out of it, seeming confused at first, but then saw the Stray Devil on the ceiling. "Sorry."
From the ceiling, the rogue spider-like Devil turned Demon fires a stream of web at Koneko, hitting her left arm that caused a severe burn that melted away her clothing, knocking her to the ground where she moaned in pain.
"Koneko!" Aidan exclaims as the rogue Demon lunges itself at the downed Rook.
*CLING*
Aidan reacts in time to block the Demon's attack with Silentium but his sword was stuck in its mouth. Now stuck and on the defensive, Aidan looks to his left to see Kiba back in the same mindset as before.
"Kiba, let's get it in gear!" Aidan calls out but no answer. "KIBA!"
That snapped him out of it again, enough for the Knight to see the situation they are in. He quickly jumps at the Demon with a sword in hand.
*SLASH*
With one move, he cut's the Demon's upper human-like body from the lower spider body, causing it to scream in pain. Kiba land son his feet as the severed end lands on the floor.
However, the Demon, despite being bisected, lunges at Kiba with eyes glowing red and jaws ready to bite down on him. Kiba was caught off guard as the Demon pushes him to the ground.
"Kiba!" Aidan shouts but to his relief, Koneko arrives and grabs the Demon's arm, pulling it away from him.
"…Get out of here," She said, before using her strength to throw the Demon high into the air, causing it to scream in fear.
*SCHBOOM*
Aidan launches one bolt of red lightning at the Dmeon, sending it further upwards through the ceiling.
*BAM*
Going through the roof, the Demon flies upwards in the night sky. Rias sees it from where she stood in front of the building with satisfaction. "Now Akeno."
In the skies, Akeno had her wings out and her shrine maiden outfit on as she raises a hand upwards towards the heavens calling down the thunder.
*ZAP*
The attack was brief and quick but the Demon was burnt to a crisp and lands with a resounding thud right in front of Rias.
And luckily for her, she understood what became of this former Stray Devil as it twitches in pain. "A former Stray Devil that decides to become a Demon in exchange for power. The lowest of all crimes, to be transformed into something worse. You who ran wild away from your master to fulfill your own desires deserves a fitting end a thousand times over in death. And now, in the name of the House of Gremory—" Rias empowers her crimson powers in her right hand, engulfing the area in a red and black tendril aura. "Your life ends here!"
*HYU BON*
Rias launches a blast of her Power of Destruction, destroying the Demon and leaving nothing but ashes.
"Finally," Aidan sighed as he carried Koneko with one arm around his shoulder and walked out of the building. Akeno flew down to join them.
"Such wasted potential." Akeno noted. "She squandered it to the point she decides to become a Demon. You can barely call it a Devil anymore."
"There are fates worse than death," Aidan said. "Still, I cannot imagine what would happen if it was left to wander the rest of the town."
Asia quickly runs up to Koneko, seeing her burnt arm. "Koneko! Hang on!" Using An'Naresh, Asia uses the Braid of Longing to heal Koneko's wounds. Despite the weapon being of something crafted from the High Heavens, it was surprising to note that it didn't do any harm to Devils at all.
*SLAP*
A slap was heard by the group, causing them to turn their heads in the direction of the sound. Rias stood in front of Kiba with her right hand raise and his head turned to the left. It could have just been Aidan's imagination, but he could have sworn he saw a a small flicker of red in her eyes.
"Think you got it together now?" An angered Rias asked. "With a mistake like that, you jeopardized everyone here in serious harm!"
"My apologies," Kiba replies back.
Rias' persona shifts from anger to worry, as she places her hands on her Knight's shoulders. "What's wrong, Kiba? This isn't like you."
"I'm fine," Kiba responded in a rather rude tone. "It's just not my day today." Releasing himself from her arms, he bows out. "If you will excuse me, Buchou."
Kiba began to walk away from everyone, with Rias watching him go with a broken-hearted expression. He was about to leave when Aidan suddenly appeared in front of him, his back turned to his.
"Move aside, Aidan," Kiba asked only once for his fellow comrade. But upon looking at Aidan again, he saw a familiar black shadow and red aura emanate off of him, red eyes glowing onto him with terror. This sort of snapped him out of his melancholic mood. "Aidan…?"
(Author's note: Insert soundtrack – Starcraft II Legacy of the Void OST- The Dark Voice) (Up until 1:00)
"Isaiah…" The voice of Diablo spoke out from Aidan. Kiba's next expression turned sour upon hearing that familiar voice.
"Diablo…" Kiba spoke his name with such spite, wondering why the Lord of Terror is popping up right now for this conversation. It was only made worse with what Diablo had called him, a name he had not heard since he became a Devil and casted aside his old life.
Everyone was frozen stiff, fear gripping them like a gnarled root as their old enemy had returned and had once more possessed Aidan. While Rias wished she should interfere right now and snap Aidan out of it, rash action would be unwise concerning Kiba's safety. Diablo had indeed possessed Aidan, but it seemed to have been under control and not as volatile as last time.
Diablo then spoke through Aidan. "I see your doubt. Your fear. You are so alone… Mewling in the darkness." Aidan/Diablo then turns around to face Kiba, showing the red glow on his forehead from the Red Soulstone chunk still inside, along with the black veins sprouted up to his neck. "Let me release you… all of you… from the suffering of this life." As the possessed nephalem approaches Kiba, he prepares himself for any attacks that Diablo could unleash on him. "Your Eternal Conflict of strife and anguish can only end in your death."
Kiba however was not moved by Diablo's taunts. "Your words are little more than poison, Diablo. Your actions have brought nothing but death."
"Mere casualties of a long war!" Aidan/Diablo stated. "A war that will end thanks to your involvement with the Holy Swords! Your resistance to our call will only bring unneeded suffering to those around you. And I will take great pleasure in feasting upon their souls."
Kiba kept his head low, casting a shadow over his eyes. He tried to keep his fears under control but so far there had been no luck. It was as if Diablo was tormenting him from the inside out despite being sealed securely inside Aidan's Sacred Gear.
"What do you even want, Diablo?" asked a venomous Kiba. "What do you know of my pain?"
"I know you seek vengeance for the betrayed," Aidan/Diablo says. "You wish to avenge those who were killed while you fled like a coward. You seek the destruction of the Holy Sword Excalibur. A mere replication of a weapon of Angels."
Kiba tries to keep a straight face. "I think it is normal for Devils to live by how they want. Maybe that is why we broke free of you in the first place. Well, I think I'm at fault for not listening to my master this time."
"Then join me," Diablo offered. "You need not listen to your fellow slaves. Serve me, and you will have that which you desire most. Through it, you will serve us well just like your nephalem friend."
"Worry about yourself first, Hellspawn," Kiba retorted as he begins to walk away despite fear taking hold over him. "Once I am finished with my personal business, we have a score to settle. And don't call me Isaiah ever again."
Once Kiba walks away, Aidan manages to regain control over Diablo and, in an undramatic transformation, reverts back to normal as the red malevolent aura dies down.
Back at Aidan's home, Rias, Asia, and Aidan stood within the latter's room, discussing Kiba's odd behavior. One hour after the fight with the Stray Devil, they returned home and back in Aidan's room, the nephalem brought up the recent mention of Holy Swords.
"Holy Swords are the ultimate weapons against Devils," Rias explained to Aidan and Asia as she sat in a rolling chair while the latter two sat on the bed. "If we Devils touch one such object, then we will burn ourselves. If we get but by it, then we will be killed without a trace. Some would call it the ultimate weapon for those who believe in God and see Devils as an enemy."
Aidan took time to think this. In his mind based on his Uncle's writings, it could be possible however unlikely that these weapons could be a human replication of the armaments of the High Heavens. But to make such holy weapons would require materials beyond the human touch and mind to comprehend.
"So what makes Excalibur so special?" asked Aidan. "Other than the fact that it was used by King Arthur as the legends say?"
"Even though there are numerous holy swords originating from al over the world, Excalibur is the most famous by reputation. Even in Japan, it comes up in many books. A holy weapon created through the means of magic and alchemy by those who reach the territory of God. But Holy Swords choose their wielders, and every person, according to belief, is chosen every decade or so I have heard."
"But if Kiba's Sacred Gear is Sword Birth, isn't it possible he can create Holy Swords as well?"
"Not indefinitely. It's not like there isn't a Sacred Gear that cannot create Holy Swords. But if you compare to the ones that already exist, it is kind of lacking but not weak per se. Among them there is a sacred utensil included in the 'Longinus'. The ultimate Sacred Gears. The most famous of them all is the one wielded by St. Longinus, the Roman who had stabbed Christ with his spear, and where the name derives from."
Longinus' are Sacred Gears that have the power to kill even an almighty person like God. The death of Christ was perhaps no exception, but what about beings of higher power than God? Could they also be killed by such a weapon?
"Excalibur was one of the most powerful Holy Sword without equal, but it needed a person worthy to wield it," Rias continued. "There was a secretive project several years ago inside the Christian Church that aimed to artificially make people who can wielded the Excalibur."
Rias' eyes narrow into a scowl. "The Holy Sword Project."
"…This is my first time hearing this," Asia said as Aidan recalls something from his Uncle's books.
"I remember," Aidan spoke up. "It was said to have been a failed project and that there were no survivors."
"True," Rias confirmed. "The project was indeed a complete failure and those who received artificial treatment could not handle the adaptation to Excalibur. But Kiba, as its sole and forgotten survivor, barely survived it."
"What do you mean?" asked Aidan. "He is a survivor?"
"The Vatican decided to view the failures as defective products and disposed of them."
Aidan's eyes narrowed as Asia gasps in shock.
"That can't be…" Asia cried tears. "All of them, even Kiba, killed because they were failures? That's… that's sacrilege."
"The followers of God call Devils an evil existence, but I think the bad intentions of humans are the greatest evil in this world," Rias said with sad eyes. "They can easily be susceptible to Demons as proven in their days as the Zakarum."
"So how did you meet Kiba?" asked Aidan.
"I met him in the forest when he was near death. He was swearing revenge even in his critical condition. But because of his talents that were being used for Holy Swords since he was born, I wanted him to use them as a Devil; so I reincarnated him, not wanting him to go to waste and save his life of misery."
Aidan fears, combined with Asia's disbelief of what the Church had done, troubled him. The Zakarum were once holy in a time long past but with their corruption by Mephisto, the taint became a permanent curse upon them. Even after being purged and reignited of their faith, the scars from the Lord of Hatred seemed to have never been rooted out.
"Kiba has not forgotten about the Holy Swords and those involved in it, victims and criminals," Rias sighs heavily. "At any rate, I will watch over him for now and give him time. I just hope he returns to his usual self."
"Rias, there is something I want you to take a look at," Aidan told her upon retrieving a picture out of thin air. It was the same picture from the scrapbook album of him and the girl. "I believe seeing this Holy Sword in the picture must have triggered Kiba's bad memories."
Rias' eyes change when she saw it. "Is there someone you know who is related to the Church?"
"All I know was that the girl I was friends with, and her family were part of the Church," Aidan said. "She even bugged me about what I believed in, even though I believe in something far more larger than what she has to deal with."
"So, there is one near you… No, there was a Holy Sword in this area about ten years ago. Where was this taken at?"
"In Rome. When Uncle Deckard and I stayed for a time."
Rias examines the sword on the wall. "That is indeed a Holy Sword," Rias said. "It's not as powerful as Excalibur, but it is the real thing. Then it must mean that this man is a Holy Sword wielder… Now I get it. I heard my predecessor who was in charge of this area vanished. But it would make sense if this was the reason. But if I remember…"
She thought long and hard, making Aidan ask in concern. "Is everything alright, Rias?"
"Sorry," Rias said before shifting to a more positive tone. "Anyway, it is getting late. Come now, we should get to bed." She stood up and to the Pawn and Bishop's surprise, starts stripping of herself.
"Why are you taking your clothes off?" Aidan asked casually without looking.
"Why?" asked a confused Rias. "Because you know I cannot sleep without being naked, Aidan."
Aidan turns around to face his back to her out of dignity. "Sure, I get that, but don't you want some privacy to do that?"
"It's alright with me," Rias said as she removes her bra, causing her breasts to bounce a bit. "Besides, we're going to sleep together like always, my love."
"Then I'm sleeping here as well!" Asia proclaimed as she hurriedly strips herself. "I'm also going to sleep with Aidan!"
Aidan sighs and grunts quietly, knowing what comes next.
"Fair is fair, Asia," Rias said. "I claimed him first for tonight."
But the Bishop pouts. "I don't want to… I think I have the right to be spoiled by Aidan as well. I also want to sleep with him!"
Aidan had enough and pushes the two away from each other, his right finger by Asia's mouth to quiet her and his left hand on Rias' stomach.
"I swear, it's like dealing with two kittens fighting over a ball of yarn," Aidan mutters before he speaks up with a somewhat upset voice. "Listen you two, at this point, my patience has been worn out bone dry. These arguments will get us no where and if you two are really serious about sleeping with me, then I have the perfect solution."
"Tell us!" Both exclaimed, their faces up near his and holding up fists by their chests.
"You'll both sleep with me tonight," Aidan proposed.
"…Huh?"
Unbeknownst to the ORC, the Church once used by the Fallen Angel turned Demon Raynare, had two figures living in it. It rained heavily outside as the figures wore white cloaks with gold and blue accents. One of them carried a large sword wrapped completely in white cloth. Their heads and most of their faces were hidden by their hoods.
After walking down the isle, they stopped in front of the broken cross at the back of the ruined church.
"This place has been desecrated," The one with the large sword said. Her voice sounded feminine as did the other though younger.
"Rumor has it that there was a disturbance here recently," said the other one. "Caused by a Fallen Angel and Devil. It's also the location of that one energy pulse filled with holy light. It was said to have come from here, too."
"It is getting late," The first one said, taking off her hood to reveal herself to be a beautiful young woman with chin-length blue hair with a dyed green fringe on the right side and yellow eyes. "And you are absolutely certain that our teacher is on his way here as well to assist us?"
"That's what I heard in the message," said the other one with a cheerful smile once she removes her hood. She was also a beautiful young woman with chestnut hair, tied into twintails, each held by a blue scrunchy, and violet eyes. "He will meet us tomorrow morning here."
"Just remember the second mission," The blue-haired woman said with a serious tone. "And you are also certain he is here?"
"Oh please, like I'd be wrong. I know he travels everywhere with that old man, but he is definitely here. Besides, I loved here in the city with my parents as a kid." The girl held up the picture, the same one Aidan had apparently. "Give me a little credit, okay?"
MEANWHILE…
Walking through the neighborhood in the rain without an umbrella was Kiba. Purposefully allowing himself to be soaked by the rainfall, he walked sluggishly, as if deep in thought.
Diablo's words began to gnaw at him about his own doubts and fears. In some sense he was right, but Kiba would not be convinced. He would never take the words of a Prime Evil to heart, not since he saw what it did to Aidan firsthand.
But what would a demon like Diablo know? He was not there to see it and at the time, Kiba considered him along with the rest of the Burning Hells to be of myth, a thin whisper in the dark. Perhaps Diablo was simply taunting him on his fears, feeding on it to stay powerful.
*SPLASH*
The sound of another splash caused Kiba to be snapped out of thoughts and pay attention to what was in front of him. There was a person who stumbled towards him. And by the sight of the cross that spoke for God of which Kiba despised, he knew that he was a priest of the Zakarum.
They were the target of his hatred, the chroniclers of all his pain. Any Exorcist in his way would feel good for him to cut down.
Imagine his surprise when the priest had a blood patch on his stomach and he was coughing up from his mouth before falling to the ground dead.
Kiba realized that this priest had been murdered and the killer was not too far away. Creating a demonic sword, Kiba scanned long and hard through the heavy rainfall before he saw a fleshing reflection of metal through the rain. And then there was a spark. He ran towards it and felt the killing intent from the murderer grow strong as he approached him.
When Kiba stopped to face the murderer, he was shocked to see a familiar face.
"Yahoo~! It's been a while," said an all too familiar priest who was giving a disgusting smile, one that made Kiba writhe in anger.
"Freed Zelzan," Kiba recognized. "Figures you'd still be in town. What business have you? And don't keep me waiting for my patience is thin."
"Well good timing then," The insane Exorcist said. "Wonderful! In that case I'm so happy that Im going to shed some happy tears because of my reunion with you!"
Still the same cocky and maddened priest as he was, Freed's sword that he carried started to emit some sort of holy aura. An aura Kiba was all too familiar with.
"I was getting bored of priest hunting, so this is really is a good timing," Freed said with his tongue hanging out. "Very good. Nice timing indeed. My Excalibur and your demonic sword, can you let me check which one is stronger? HAHAHAHAHA! I will repay you by killing you!"
Both swordsmen charge at another, jumping into the air as Freed raises his Excalibur over his head and descended towards Kiba while the Knight blocks it.
So begins the start of season 2. We find ourselves back into the Highschool DxD universe. Gone for now are the angst and dark and scary stuff that is Diablo. Now it is back to the harem anime that we all know and love. And onto an arc a lot of people enjoy. This is going to be fun to write.
To start it all off, there is romance development between Aidan and Rias, along with comical harem situations since Asia is now part of the mix. Three Phenex maids and Grayfia now serve the nephalem's household for good reason. Aidan has performed another contract with a familiar man that we all know and love/hate for his quirkiness. And finally, Kiba is troubled by the Excalibur to the point where he walks between the lines of justice and vengeance, seeing that they are two sides of the same coin. He even went so far as to have a threatening and fearful conversation with Diablo.
Speaking of Diablo, at this point, he does not possess Aidan like last time but his influence can still be felt along with his voice, hence why Aidan appeared as he did to Kiba. But Diablo will return. He always will, in ways one cannot imagine.
A lime between Akeno and Aidan? Well, I guess any guy would take the bait like this. Some of you may consider this more of a lemon than a lime, but personally, I feel like a sexual activity scene would not be considered lemon if it did not include penetration. Say what you will but I will call it a lime and that is final!
Next chapter will introduce the two Exorcists we all know and love, along with one other man-made OC of mine whose surprise I will reveal later on.
