It was a late night over at Aidan Kain's house. Many of the girls of the Occult Research Club were there, having been decreed by Azazel and Sirzechs to move into the house.
Of course, with so many girls, including the three Phenex maids, and one guy being Aidan living in a two story house that simply wasn't big enough to fit all nine people, plans for renovations were being made. Moving out to find a larger home was not an option considering the market value of mansions these days, but a mansion in the middle of an urban neighborhood was crazy due to space needed.
Everyone was already sound asleep in the night. Days have passed already though since the treaty was formed and everything seemed to return back to normal for everyone.
All except for everyone's favorite crimson haired girl.
Rias had headed over to the bathroom and closed the door, locking it in the process. But she was not going there to take a bathroom break. Rather, after lifting up the toilet seat, she spewed. For some reason, around the time after the peace treaty between the Three Factions was made, Rias had been experience some severe form of nausea. Already this had been the third time this week that she has had to get up and go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Not only that but she has also had some headaches and a bit of cramping near her abdominal region. These symptoms have been occurring more and more as of late, and Rias did not think it was a coincidence.
After flushing the toilet, Rias washes her mouth and dries it before sitting on the ground in exhaustion. She was definitely not feeling well, and it has been this way for the past few days.
Keeping this a secret from the others, especially from her boyfriend Aidan, was not an easy task, especially if she was sleeping with him every night. So far she has made the excuse of needing to use the bathroom for whenever. But with these unusual symptoms she has been having, it was only a matter of time before everyone else discovers a pattern emerging.
This was no ordinary illness at all for her. She was not running a fever yet and she certainly had no allergy symptoms. The only thing that could be obvious to her would be something she ate, but if she has vomited more than once in one week, then this was not a simple food poisoning.
Hence why she became prepared for something else other than food poisoning. A way to confirm her suspicions and perhaps her worst fears.
Reaching underneath the sink, she pulled out something for her to test privately in the case that when having sex with Aidan, she would end up pregnant. Even though birth rates for Devils are at a low rate, it would still be possible giving of the circumstances for any Devil to be pregnant.
Instructions for this were pretty simple. All Rias had to do was insert a few drops of her urine to test for a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin, or HCG. If there was any in her urine when inserted into the test device, it will indicate pregnancy through two lines.
What Rias would hope for out of this test, even she could not tell from her own heart. For one thing, she loves Aidan so much that she was willing to give up her virginity to him. But has that love reached to the point of this moment of truth? That she needed to know and whatever the result, she will have no choice but to accept it.
Unloading a small bit of her urine into a small plastic cup, Rias takes the eye dropper that came with the test to take some urine from the cup.
Dropping three drops into the pregnancy test, all Rias has to do is wait for a bit.
After three minutes of waiting, the results came in. And the test showed the second red line next to the first.
THREE DAYS AGO…
Aidan was in the bath, naked and relaxing as usual. However, as usual, he was not alone. In the bath with him were the Two Great Ladies of Kuoh, naked in all of their glory.
It was a late Saturday morning nearing the afternoon as Aidan had time to sleep in for a bit. Since the peace treaty of the Three Factions, a lot of things have happened that have made him exhausted for days. The Khaos Brigade's attack, Vali and Sinestra's betrayal, the revelation of the Prime Evil, the duel between Aidan and Sinestra, the Angiris Council's appearance, and the cleanup right afterwards. Not to mention Azazel being the ORC's clubroom teacher.
All of that in one day left Aidan drained, hence why he stayed in bed even after waking up. Normally one man would allow laziness to course through him like the ocean.
But of course with Aidan, that was not an option considering how, by Azazel's suggestion, all the girls in Rias' Peerage were to move in with him and live in his home. Akeno was the first and the rest would soon follow.
Of course with everyone moving into the house, it was going to need some more space. A lot more in fact. Luckily, Rias had been working secretively on how to compensate for that issue.
And yet, for all that has happened to him, Aidan's mind was left to wander about something else. Something that happened more recent after the treaty was signed.
FLASHBACK…
The ORC and the Student Council were just outside of the Gremory Mansion, watching the final preparations take place for a mission, one they will not partake all things considered.
The ones that would be the Four Great Satans, Michael, and Azazel. Their mission was to venture down into the Burning Hells itself and rescue Baraqiel from his prison of torment. And even though the ORC had ventured down into Hell before, that was just a small snippet of the fiery realm. Where the leaders of the Three Factions were going was going to be much worse.
Not all of the Satans would be going though. Only Ajuka Beelzebub will remain behind to act as the Underworld's only ruler until the other three return. Azazel and Michael will tag along since the Grigori and the Lower Heavens will be respectively watched over by their other rulers, Shemhazai and Gabriel. Taking any armies of the Three Factions was too risky considering they are about to enter into Hell itself. Fortunately, Tyrael will accompany them as he knows the realms best and where Baraqiel may be located.
Rias converses with her older brother Sirzechs as the last of the preparations were made ready.
"How long do you think this mission will take, Onii-sama?" Rias asked out of concern.
"As long as it needs to, I'm afraid," Sirzechs put it bluntly. "Time doesn't exactly work the same on Sanctuary or in the Underworld. There is no sunrise nor sunset in the Burning Hells, nor in the High Heavens or even Pandemonium. Still, it isn't the first time I have ventured into Hell before."
Rias was surprised. "This isn't? You've been there?"
"Like you, only once," Sirzechs said. "But it was just the surface. Where we are going, it is the very heart of the Demons' realm. Since Baraqiel was taken by Mephisto, it is probable he has been taken to where the Demon population is heavily populated: the Realm of Hatred."
Akeno, who stood next to Aidan, listened in on their conversation. Her head dipped a little as her hands slowly became fists not only because of where her father was taken but also because of the fact that she was forbidden to accompany the group. Although she understood their reasoning in the fact that where they are going is too dangerous for someone like her, it still pained her that she could not be there to save her father. Aidan, knowing of the pain she is still in, holds her fist gently to comfort her, making Akeno let go of her rage and lean into the nephalem's chest, almost forgetting that the one person she loves is there next to her.
"The Realm of Hatred is the capital of the Burning Hells," Sirzechs explained. "Filled with the most vile and elite Demons that Hell could ever produce. If Baraqiel is there, then that is where we are headed."
"He has to be," Azazel said. "I'm willing to bet all my money's worth that he's at the heart of Hell. I mean, where else could Mephisto have taken him besides his own realm?"
It would make sense logically. If Baraqiel was Mephisto's target, coupled with the fact that he had been captured alive, then Mephisto could have taken him anywhere within Hell. But perhaps a more obvious choice yet also one very dangerous would be in the Realm of Hatred, where Mephisto lords overall.
After all, there was one other prisoner Mephisto had kept in his realm. One that remains there still since the end of the Sin War. An Elder Angel of the High Heavens.
Meanwhile, Tyrael, as Inquisitor Tyrannus, spoke with his two students about heading into Hell.
"Master, will you be okay?" asked Irina. "I mean, this is literally Hell that we are talking about, unlike what we have been told."
Tyrael merely smiles and reassures Irina with a hand to her shoulder. "Worry not, Irina. I have been to Hell many times an eternity, even to its foulest depths. Although, I have never ventured towards the Realm Hatred at its core before. It's usually packed with an innumerable amount of Demons far too many to take on alone."
Irina still was not too sure. She was still trying to comprehend the new knowledge of creation, everything that was totally different from what she had learned. The knowledge of an evil that is as old as the universe itself and that her master had been fighting it since the beginning was still a lot to take in. If this was known to the Church, mass chaos would ensue.
Xenovia, besides her friend, puts a hand on her shoulder in reassurance, the chestnut girl looking at her in a bit of surprise.
"They'll be alright, Irina," Xenovia smiles. "With our master guiding them since he has the most experience, I am sure they will be safe."
Irina however was not so sure. "But… this is the literal Hell they are venturing through. How will we-?"
"Just because there are innumerous Demons, Irina, does not mean the odds against us are low," Tyrael said. "We will be alright, I assure you."
"He will not be the only Angel to go," Michael approached them. "Since an accord is now reached between all three races, we must cooperate together no matter what the circumstances are."
"Chief Michael," Xenovia saw. "You wish to partake in this mission?"
"I do," Michael nodded. "Heaven will be watched over by my siblings. And I owe Tyrael a debt for staying Imperius' wrath. Even with me as the leader of the Lower Heavens, I am seen as a servant of the Angiris Council and my word alone will not always convince the Elder Angels."
"If you are going to Hell, mind if we join in?" asked a familiar voice, revealing to be Li-Ming. Tagging alongside her were Alrik and Johanna, in their battle armor fit respectively for a Barbarian and a Crusader. Li-Ming was also adorned in her outfit as the Rebellious Wizard of Xiansai.
"Li-Ming. Johanna. Alrik. What are you three doing here?" asked Aidan as he walks over to his fellow nephalem in surprise.
"Bringing in the calvary, that's what," Li-Ming smiled confidently.
"We have ventured into the Burning Hells before and if the leaders of the Three Factions are going there, then we are as well," Johanna explained.
"Tyrael aside, we know of the dangers within and seek to assist," Alrik said before turning his gaze to Tyrael for approval. "If you will have us, Tyrael."
"The honor is all mine, friend," Tyrael approved. "But be wary. Where are entering is one of the most darkest places in all of Creation. The darkness within is not meant to be taken lightly."
"Hey, I once cast Magic Missile into the Darkness," Li-Ming said before muttering, "Boy, was he sore about it."
Aidan caught wind and privately held in his laughter and smile, knowing all too well of that classic running gag joke.
"The portal is ready," Grayfia announced as a red incantation spell was lit on the ground. A spell crafted by the Satans with the aid of Tyrael that will lead them to the Burning Hells. Tyrael, Michael, the three Satans, and the three nephalem all step within the circle, ready to be transported.
"Onii-sama, be careful," Rias said.
"We will be back," Sirzechs assures her little sister. "Quicker than you think."
"Let's get to it then," Michael said. "The sooner we rescue Baraqiel, the quicker we can leave the place."
"Hell, it's about time," Azazel smirks.
And with that, everyone disappears through as the portal circle dispels their forms, teleporting them to Hell. Everyone else stood and watched as they left.
Now all they had to do was wait for their return.
FLASHBACK ENDS…
That was just two days ago unfortunately. Since the group had departed into the Burning Hells, no word has been reached. While not possible that they were killed, it is highly likely that communication with them has been cut off since they are in the deepest reaches of the infernal realm. All that everyone back at home can do is wait and pray until they return.
Even with Tyrael and the rest of the nephalem with the group, it is only a matter of time before Hell's full strength is unleashed upon them all. Even the most bravest and strongest of angels from the High Heavens could not stop the endless tide of Demons.
Aidan was brought back to reality as he feels an up close presence of one of the two Great Ladies of Kuoh in the bath. Immediately, his face blushes.
"Liking the show, Somnus?" asked Akeno as she brought herself up close and personal to Aidan, teasingly grinning at him as she presses her breasts right up her body.
Rias smirks as she follows Akeno's lead. "Not enough, my love?"
She approached him, circling him until she reached behind him, caressing his upper body while her breasts were pressed against his back. "You don't need to fight it, you know…" She seductively said as a finger traces down his chest.
Aidan was struggling so much as both of his girlfriends gave him no chance to fight back, wanting to tease him as much as they can. He closes his eyes to resist but it was all in vain as the pressure and intense heat buildup, knowing both Rias and Akeno wanted him so badly.
Akeno then brought one of Aidan's hands to place it on her breasts, feeling him unconsciously squeeze it as she lets out a moan.
That was when Aidan could no longer hold back.
LEMON BEGINS…
Opening his eyes of lust and desire, he quickly and hungrily kisses Akeno, one of his hands behind her head to bring her lips to his and the other by her waist to bring her closer. Although surprised, the Priestess of Thunder gladly kisses back with equal fervor, sloppily kissing him back as she prods his lips with her tongue, begging for entrance to his mouth which he happily complied.
Rias was next as Aidan swiftly kisses her like an animal in heat. Rias, anticipating this after she saw what became of Akeno, kisses back and tries to fight against Aidan's tongue. Aidan's hands were all over her body, touching and gripping her breasts before eventually lowering his hand down to her lower body, fingering her pussy. She lets out a long moan this time before Aidan returns to kissing Akeno.
Both ladies moan to Aidan's delight as it pushed him to go even further with them. Stopping his kiss with Akeno, he lowered himself to her chest and buried his face in her cleavage, kissing and licking her chest, sucking on one of the nipples and circling his tongue around it. Akeno gasps at the contact and breaths heavily, her face reddening.
Now focused upon her breasts, Aidan stops fingering Rias, allowing the redhead to walk towards her best friend and suck on the left breast while Aidan handles the right. His fingers, drenched in Rias' juices, moved over to Akeno's wet pussy, going in and out of her.
"Ara ara~…" Akeno moans loudly. "This is so unfaiiiiir… my lover and my best friend sucking my nipples… ngghhhhh, haahhhhhh…"
Aidan soon kisses her neck and sucks on her bare flesh, leaving a few hickeys to mark her before he lowers back down to her pussy. It was extremely aroused and wet as he gives a long lick with his tongue while his hands gripped her butt. At the sudden contact of his tongue, Akeno lets out a loud scream of pleasure. It only intensified as he began to eat her out, his tongue lashing at the walls of her womanhood.
With Aidan sucking on her pussy and Rias groping and sucking her breasts, it did not take long for Akeno to reach orgasm.
"I'm… I'm gonna… I'm gonna cum! Ara Ara~!" Akeno shrieks, causing Aidan to only go faster, burying his face into her thighs as his tongue goes deeper into her.
Rias meanwhile stands up and grasps Akeno's face before kissing her, surprising the Priestess of Thunder before giving in as both Great Ladies trade saliva with one another. Tongues clash fervently, making Akeno ascend beyond cloud nine.
That is when Akeno screams at her loudest.
"Yes! YES! More, MORE! ARA ARA~!" She shrieks, which only caused Aidan to go faster, burying his face even deeper into her thighs.
*PSSHH*
And climaxes all over Aidan's hungry mouth. Her legs were turning into jelly, almost unable to stand up from so much stimulation. She would have collapsed had Aidan not caught her. Then the three engage in a three-way kiss with Rias.
Both girls were so ecstatic upon tasting Akeno's essence, Akeno most of all. Tasting herself made her collapse from pleasure, making Aidan catch her. But with Akeno now exhausted having had her fun, now it was Rias' turn as Aidan and Akeno look at her. Aidan comes up behind her as he starts roaming his hands around her body, his eyes looking at her flustered face.
"I think I've resisted for far too long," He said, reaching up to her and whispering to her ear. "You have no idea the things I want to do to you, my love."
He nibbles on her right earlobe, causing her to gasp and moan, unconsciously grinding her butt near his cock. It caused Aidan to let out a groan of approval.
Akeno meanwhile was busy upfront fondling Rias' breasts. After what the two had did to her, she was content to be the one giving the pleasure to her best friend. While she was doing so, she formulates a plan in her head on pleasuring Aidan further, and much like this and the previous time, she needed Rias' help. Since the two have now begun to share their beloved nephalem, they needed to be patient when it came to sex.
As Akeno cups Rias' breasts, she applies light kisses to them, before starting to lick them like a cat. With a giggle, she had lustfully thought of giving payback to Rias for fondling her breasts, so she ought to let her experience the pleasure she felt for herself.
Aidan was behind Rias with one hand on her breast groping it while the other was on her butt. He starts to roam his hands around his girlfriend, feeling just how perfect she was to him. Every move he made with his hands caused her to blush and moan, making her turn her head to kiss him passionately. Their tongues clash before Aidan moved to sucking on her neck, leaving a few marks on her.
Rias' mind was almost blacking out from the attention they were giving to her, feeling her nephalem's strong fingers. All she could do was moan lustfully despite having engaged in sexual intercourse more than once. Yet despite no longer being a virgin, she was still incredibly sensitive. Especially down below the lower front.
"Nnngghhhh… You two… So naughty… ahhhh! You both are going to get punished for this, you know~?" She tries to tease but the pleasure was too much.
Whether it was the wrong move for her or not, she felt Aidan's fingers move down to stimulate her lower front. The hand that was caressing her tits was now lowered down to her wet pussy, using two fingers to open her slit up before inserting in. Rias moans loudly as she feels her nephalem's fingers.
Both lovers then heard the redhead scream in pleasure all of a sudden as Aidan finds her G-Spot. This made Akeno rise up and kiss Rias to keep her voice down, accelerating the pleasure as Akeno and Rias share tongues with one another. Rias could feel the build intensity until she felt one of Akeno's fingers assist with Aidan down by the redhead's pussy.
That did her in.
*PSSHH*
"I'm cumming!" Rias screams as her pussy clamps down on his fingers, cumming into his hand. She cums for 10 seconds as her clear essence sprays all over Aidan's fingers.
Lustfully, Aidan brings those fingers up to taste them, smiling at her afterwards as he liked the taste. Rias blushes embarrassingly before she is kissed by her boyfriend, allowing her to taste herself. She lets out a long moan as their tongues wildly dance in a fiery kiss.
Akeno then takes those fingers of Aidan and licks and sucks on them, tasting Rias' essence which excited her a lot.
Aidan did not know what had happened next as the two girls shared a smirk between themselves despite the pleasure, now wanting to have their fun. They set him down onto the edge of the bath, making him sit.
'We now have you where we want you.'
Both Great Ladies of Kuoh slip their hands below him as they grip Aidan's hard cock. It was much thicker than last they individually felt it, ten inches long and already leaking precum.
Aidan smirks upon inspecting their lustful gazes onto him. "You both planned all of this, didn't you?"
They didn't respond. Instead, they just stroked it, with Akeno looking up at his lust filled face with her own perverted gaze. Her eyes were clouded with lust.
"You've been hiding this from us. You have do so much for us that now it is our turn to reward you," She said.
She took a lick from the base of his cock up to the tip with Rias following behind her. With Aidan on the edge of the large bath he leans back as he feels the pleasure of two great beauties sucking away his cock. His eyes were closed as his face tenses up, no doubt from the sudden coolness on his shaft and the blowjob the ladies provided him.
They continued their combined efforts of the blowjob as Rias caresses his balls while licking the underside and Akeno sucking the tip. Both girls switched around as they took turns taking all 10 inches into their mouths.
"You two… planned this, didn't you?" Aidan asks as he grasps the head of Akeno to push deeper into her throat. Akeno accepts as she pushes herself with ten inches down her throat. Rias continues licking the balls, even as Akeno's head is grabbed by Aidan and he begins to piston in and out of Akeno's mouth, hearing her gurgling and muffling sounds.
Akeno was surprised but took it all in stride as she greedily swallows the cock. Aidan switches over to Rias for her turn, making her choke yet accept the phallus going in and out of her mouth. He switches every 10 to 15 seconds per girl, getting a feel of their different mouths and making this as erotic as he could.
Once he switches back to Akeno's mouth, he was starting to hear her suck on his cock greedily. That was when Aidan was starting to feel his limit.
"Akeno, I'm gonna—"
He didn't have enough time to say it as he grabs her head and plunges deep down her throat.
*SPLURT*
"MMMMMMMMMPH!" Akeno screams as she feels Aidan fire away deep into her mouth. Her mouth is exploded with Aidan's essence that it spills out the side, eyes widening in shock.
Once Aidan immediately exits out of Akeno's filled up mouth, Rias immediately takes her turn and almost instantly goes for a deepthroat action. Aidan had no time to recover as Rias' hot and sticky mouth engulfs his cock.
At the same time however Aidan begins to thrust in and out of Rias, holding her head still to dominate her. Muffles and moans were all that was heard from his girlfriend. In Rias' mind, this was not like their first time making love at that night from their date. Their night was slow and romantic, going at each other's pace and enjoying each other's warmth.
But this was entirely different. This was more like an animal in heat that was mating ruthlessly, as if its hormones had overwhelmed them. Rias however was in the same mindset, having wanted to experience a more intense sexual experience with Aidan. She just never thought it would be with Akeno, her best friend and Queen who was not too different from her.
Rias continues being thrusted into the mouth, gagging whenever she felt it down in her throat. She felt it grow bigger in size, yet it made her go crazy, wanting more and more out of her nephalem.
"Ugh… Rias!" Aidan cried out.
Rias yelped in muffles, hearing her nephalem ready to release his cum into her mouth.
*SPLURT*
"MMMMMMMPH!" Rias screams when she tastes Aidan's cum down her throat. Unlike Akeno who was wide-eyed. Rias keeps her eyes closed as she attempts to drink it all up.
After about ten seconds, Aidan lets go of Rias' mouth as he backs away, making the redhead gasp as she feels a huge amount of cum land on her face. Lustuflly, she begins licking whatever was on her lips and swallowing it.
Aidan groans loudly as he sits back, eyes closed. He then opens his eyes to see both ladies seductively smile and wink at him. They turn to face each other and start to kiss and clean each other of his cum, doing it as sensually as possible to as to arouse the nephalem once more.
His cock sprouts up, hardened once more for the final stage.
Akeno was the first to jump on top of him, immediately plunging her vagina into his cock. Immediately afterwards, she slams her lips onto his as both of them moan. She then begins to sway her hips, and soon lets go her lips to sit up.
"Ara ara~! You're so good!" Akeno bounces as her breasts flop up and down. "And so big~!"
Aidan sits up as he grasps her breasts, taking one of them into his mouth and sucking around the nipple while fondling the other.
"Wings out. Please," Aidan requested as he continues his ministrations on her chest while he started to thrust her, meeting her movements. Akeno did as she asked, extending her Devil wings, only to feel Aidan's hands start to caress them.
"AHHHH NO, NOT MY WINGS!" Akeno screams. She could feel all pleasure points being stimulated: her breasts, her vagina, and her wings. She wraps her arms around Aidan to hang on as the pleasure continues, giving her an ahegao face.
For Aidan, he had guessed correctly about the wings. Since they were apparently so sensitive, he could use those to his advantage, especially when making love.
To change things up and make Akeno permanently his, he stops sucking her breasts and turns the Priestess of Thunder over, grabbing her by the hips as they were now in doggy. Now on her hands and knees, she gets pounded from behind.
Rias meanwhile had been fingering and groping herself on her breasts and pussy, but all that changed with her best friend now on all fours and facing her. She then scoots up to her and presses her head down to her pussy to make her lick it. Akeno, lost in her lust, complies as she drives her tongue deep into Rias' wet core.
That sent Rias onto another level of cloud nine, of seeing her nephalem fuck her best friend from behind while she eats her. Akeno wraps her arms around Rias' hips to keep her close to her mouth as she delves and licks her pussy, feeling its walls contract.
After a few minutes, Aidan felt himself reach his limit.
"I'm cumming!" He yelled to the girls.
"M-Me too!" Rias said.
Akeno, in a muffled voice, also complied as she felt herself climax as well.
*PSSHH*
Aidan fires away deep into Akeno, pushing himself right into her womb. Akeno screams as she feels Aidan's cum blast off like a hot geyser inside of her stomach. Rias screams as she too climaxes, her clear essence juices spraying into Akeno's mouth.
Both of them were entranced for a solid minute, as Akeno's pussy leaks out Aidan's cum that drips down. Aidan pulls out before he stumbles backwards, feeling a little vertigo. Rias collapses in exhaustion, panting and sweating from reaching climax and from Akeno drinking her juices.
Akeno slowly climbs up on top of Rias, her breasts squished against hers as she grasps her face with her hands. Lost in their lust, the two Great Ladies of Kuoh look at one another and begin to kiss one another erotically. Their tongues clash as saliva is traded, some of it being swallowed willingly.
That is when Aidan, energized after seeing Akeno's action and of seeing two wet pussies before him, hurries back and enters into Rias, going fully in as the redhead screams while her lips were still sealed by Akeno's.
Rias could not speak through the moans as her lips were sealed by Akeno's. Every time she tried to speak; she could only do so for a breath of air for Akeno kept her on a tight leash. She could only moan and groan as Aidan pumps rigorously in and out of her.
Like Akeno, Rias opens up her wings in order to experience the pleasure that Akneo felt when her wings were touched. The Priestess of Thunder, seeing her best friend's Devil wings extend, caresses her hands over them pleasurably. This made Rias arch her back, gaining a loud moan in the process.
Aidan continues pumping in and out of Rias with reckless abandon. Leaning on top of Akeno, he reaches with his right hand over to Rias' face, framing it to meet him as they give a fiery kiss to one another, their tongues darting one another for another dance of passion.
They let go of their lips after 15 seconds of kissing, making Rias catch her breath and yell so much sexual profanity.
"Yes! Punish this naughty, bad girl!" Rias demanded. "Fuck this bad girl! Keep fucking me until there is nothing left!"
Akeno kept up with Rias as she continues pleasuring her, whether it was kissing her on the lips or biting her by the ears. Their tongues darted towards one another for a dance of passion as their kisses were so fiery.
Aidan was very near to his climax as he feels his mind go blank briefly. Akeno, pleasuring herself while also sucking on Rias' nipples, was also nearing her climax.
"Rias!" He called out. "I'm—"
"I know!" Rias concurred with an ahegao face. "Shoot it all inside of me! Paint my walls white with your cum! Give it to me! GIVE IT ALL TO ME!"
"Guh…"
*PSSHH*
Rias screams as she feels her beloved nephalem's cock fire away deep into her womb, filling her up. At the same time, Akeno feels her essence spray out, some of it dripping down onto Aidan's cock and Rias' pussy, mixing in with the essences. Both of them climaxed for a full minute.
Aidan then exits before collapsing back to the bath and sliding down into the waters. Akeno and Rias were laying down on the floor side by side, panting as their threesome was over.
All three laid on the floor, hot and exhausted. They stood still for five minutes before Rias broke the silence.
"Mm, I don't think I have had enough yet," Rias said as she opens herself up to see cum leaking out of her pussy.
"Ara ara," Akeno acquiesced as she too looked at her own filled up hole. "I concur, Rias. In fact, I am just about ready for another five rounds with him."
Both girls looked at one another and smirked as they open themselves up for Aidan, his cum leaking from their holes. He looked at them briefly with hazy eyes to see what they were up to next.
"Well, Somnus, are you ready for another?" asked Rias seductively with a smile.
"Come now, don't be shy," Akeno also said. "You know you wanted more."
A smirking Aidan wasted no time jumping into the fray, kissing the girls, and going right back to hammering them hard and fast. All the positions they could think of, they did it. And on each position, Aidan climaxes in either one of their already filled up holes. Screams and moans were the only thing coming out of the bathroom, making everyone stay away from it, even the Phenex maids.
For all three, this night was truly one to remember.
LEMON ENDS…
PRESENT DAY…
Aidan was walking over towards the clubhouse casually and on his own when something caught his attention. It was Koneko, who for some reason was sleeping on the roof of the front entrance. Almost like she was a cat of sorts.
Then again, Koneko by her true hidden nature and by her name alone is a cat of sorts.
"Hey Koneko!" Aidan calls out to the cat up top. "Time to get up already! It's dangerous for you to be sleeping there! It's time for lunch!"
The mention of the word lunch was enough for Koneko to snap her eyes open.
"Food," She said. She quickly drops down one level of the building onto the roof, her foot catching onto the tile.
*SLIP*
"Oh?"
And Koneko promptly slips to her backside where she was falling fast.
"Uh oh," Aidan said as he soon warps in the air to catch Koneko.
And catches her gracefully in a bridal position. The cat-like girl still bore a laxing and casual expression.
"Thank you, senpai," Koneko thanked.
She gets out of Aidan's arms and hurries back into the clubroom. Unaware for Aidan, she had a small blush on her.
Later on in the day, everyone was having some grilled fish, courtesy of Aidan who cooked it. Surprisingly, he learned the recipe from an old cook in Kuoh Town about how to grill fish without burning it. He thought that, for dinner to everyone in the ORC, he ought to make something for them. After all they have helped so much throughout this adventure together and he felt kind enough to repay them with a nice meal.
Unknown to him, Koneko was staring at Aidan after tasting the fish. And that caused a change within her.
THE NEXT DAY…
Asia and Akeno watch as Aidan was walking down the hall, with Koneko following behind him for some odd reason. For some reason since serving lunch yesterday, Koneko had been following Aidan around a lot, more so than usual. Aidan was not bothered by it at first but realized that even after school, Koneko had been following right behind him, keeping up at his pace.
Finally, in one last effort to lose her, Aidan turns around and sprints outside, with Koneko following right behind him, chasing him as it were.
"Did something happen with those two?" asked Akeno.
"I don't know," Asia answered. "They've been like that since this morning."
Once outside the school, Aidan stops and turns around to face his following cat.
"Koneko!" Aidan calls out. "Can I help you with something?"
Koneko doesn't answer and just stares at Aidan like a cat.
"So what can I do for you?" Aidan asked again.
Again, no answer. And it made Aidan sigh.
And so, for some reason, Koneko continued to follow Aidan around. Eating the same meals as his, sleeping in the same bed as his. Wherever Aidan went, Koneko followed. Everyone from the ORC to the Student Council saw this. Some found it to be amusing entertainment while others drew concern.
LATER AT NIGHT…
Aidan was back at his home, taking a bath. He sat in front of the showerhead on a stool seat, naked with a towel around his waist, ready to douse himself with water. Thank goodness none of the girls were here lest he lose himself to his lustful hormones.
"Sheesh," Aidan sighs. "What's up with Koneko? Even though she was never curious about me before. But I'm sure she'd never come here."
But that is when Aidan heard a Nya behind him. A very familiar nya.
Aidan gasps and turns around, very surprised to see a particular cat girl. "Koneko?"
Koneko was on all fours, naked and wrapped only in a towel that covered her body.
"I'll wash your back, senpai," Koneko said plainly.
Aidan was both surprised as he stuttered over his words and flailed his arms around. "W-W-What are you talking about?"
But suddenly, one of his arms slips and turns the faucet on, showering Koneko in water which surprises her as she backs away.
"Hot!" She cried. Cats don't like water anyway.
Aidan, feeling the shower turned on, immediately turns it off.
"S-Sorry!" He apologizes before turning to check on the Rook. "Are you okay?"
That was probably a bad idea as Koneko sat on her hind legs, with one arm on her head from covering herself from the shower. One eye was close while the other was open. More importantly, Koneko was wet from top to bottom, including the towel itself which had exposed her left breast out in the open.
Aidan, red as a tomato, diverted his eyes away. "Sorry!"
But Koneko instantly went from curious cat into feral, giving a nasty hiss and bringing up a fist.
*BAM*
And she gave hard gut punch to Aidan in the stomach.
"Why meeeee?!" Aidan comically screams.
LATER…
Koneko sat in a ball in front of Aidan and Rias. The latter heard the commotion in the bathroom and was kept up to date on the situation regarding the two. So they decided to have the discussion in Aidan's room.
"Does this hurt, my love?" asked Rias with a small towel, treating the nephalem's wounds.
Aidan said, "No. It's no big deal."
A repentant Koneko, still curled up and facing away from Aidan, apologized, "I'm sorry, Aidan-senpai."
But Aidan, kindhearted as ever, said, "No, no. It was my fault too, so don't worry about it."
"Koneko is not very good with hot water," Rias revealed. "So much that she sometimes checks the temperature of the bath several times before getting in."
Aidan could already imagine Koneko at the bath, poking her finger in the water to check the temperature since she was a bit afraid of it.
'She really is like a cat.'
"You've been acting weird since the day before yesterday," Aidan said as he turns his head to Koneko. "What's wrong?"
But Koneko, as ever a cat, did not answer, still embarrassed by her actions.
"If I recall, Aidan, the day before that was when you cooked that fish for us," Rias said.
"My cooking?" asked Aidan. But that is when he realized it. Turning back to Koneko, he asked, "Maybe you want to eat my grilled fish again?"
That brought Koneko out of her gloomy mood as her head perks up. One cannot tell it, but she was actually excited for more fish.
Down by his kitchen, Aidan got to work grilling some more fish that he had left in his fridge. Having ordered the Phenex maids to take a break, he needed all the space he could. Rias volunteered to help as well, learning from how Aidan grills his fish.
As Aidan gets to work cooking the fish by fanning it, he says, "Jeez. Koneko could've just said she wanted some more fish from the beginning."
"Well, in her own way, Koneko is somewhat concerned with keeping proper distance from other people," Rias admitted. "She hasn't known you long, so it was probably hard for her to ask you for a favor."
Aidan now probably understood. Of the ORC members, Koneko was the one he did not interact most. Granted he still gave her head pats and small treats from time to time but never had a one on one conversation with her.
Once he had finished grilling the fish, Aidan found Koneko in the living room waiting for the fish.
"Koneko!" Aidan called out grabbing her attention before setting the fish down on the plate. "Here we are."
The smell was exhilarating for Koneko, bringing in the warmth of the heat. She could not waste for the taste, especially for the salt that was added. She looks up at Aidan with her usual aloof expression.
"Thank you, Senpai," Koneko thanked. "Will you grill fish for me again?"
Aidan smiles. "Always."
Koneko gasps before smiling in gratitude. And before long, Aidan gave her a head pat.
After that, once in a while, Koneko could be seen following Aidan around. From anyone's perspective, it seems that he has tamed her. In a manner of speaking.
Aidan was around a part of Kuoh where a more darker side lurked. Not in terms of Demons, but rather in shady dealings that no willing soul would ever venture to nor make a bargain with. Aidan however would not go there without good reason.
Long before the nephalem departed for the Burning Hells, he was told by Li-Ming to meet up with an old contact of theirs, a manager of a gun shop in Kuoh who was also nephalem. How a nephalem became a gun store manager is a complete bewildering mystery. As for why Li-Ming sent him there, it was to answer some questions that he had regarding the Old Satan Faction and the Khaos Brigade, the new enemies now in existence who are rumored to be aligned with the Burning Hells.
Aidan turns around to see himself before a small yet recognizable gun store.
"Here it is. Dreadlands Weaponry." He read the title. It was a white building etched with red letters. Not much advertisement was made but for good reason. Guns in Japan are illegal by any means necessary, and acquiring them along with a license is exceedingly difficult to obtain.
Entering into the store, all that Aidan could see where guns, and lots of them. Ranging from rifles, pistols, shotguns, and even snipers, one could say it was armed to the teeth. But in one part of the store was a section reserved for crossbows, bows, quivers, and arrows. There was even some animal heads used for inspiration, along with camouflage gear as if it was used exclusively for hunting purposes.
As Aidan walks in to take in the sights, he spots a middle aged man by the counter, sorting out some papers. Aidan walks up to him.
"I'm looking for someone named Vanessa," Aidan said. "Is she in the office today?"
"Right this way, sir," The clerk shows Aidan over.
Aidan is led by the store clerk over to the back through the door leading to the main office, down the hallway to the left where it showcased the word "Manager" in black letters on the door. On the door below was the name Vanessa Helevetica.
"She's all yours," The store clerk said as he departs back to the front, leaving Aidan alone.
Aidan gives a few knocks on the door.
*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
"Password?" asked the person behind the door.
"Vengeance Incarnate," Aidan replied. He was told of this by Li-Ming earlier to give a password to her friend's office when visiting her shop.
With the password accepted, Vanessa comes to the door and opens it. She looked like a woman in her mid-thirties and wore a simple store outfit fitting for a gun shop, in green color. Her hair was long and black, and her skin was almost pale. Most notably, her eye color was red.
"Somnus," Vanessa expressed. "Come in. Take a seat."
As Aidan takes his seat, he asks, "How do you know my name?"
"My friends said you'd be coming," Vanessa said. "And I have been kept up to date on you, along with watching you from the shadows."
"You're not just an average spy then…" Aidan deduces.
"Quite right. I belong to the Demon Hunters of the Dreadlands, near Arreat. My real name is Valla."
The Demon Hunters of the Dreadlands are relentless vigilantes who execute their infernal targets with an arsenal of ranged weapons at their full disposal. They crouch and take aim far from danger, relying on bows and crossbows, deadly traps, and projectiles to swiftly bring an end to the creatures that haunt their world. With sweeping blasts of shot, wide salvos of arrows and timed explosives at their disposal, Demon Hunters excel at devastating groups of foes who cluster together. Their pinpoint accuracy also allows them to deal with stronger monsters at a distance: they can snipe at key targets or fall back while snapping off kill shots at advancing foes. However, Demon Hunters' focus on ranged combat and limited melee-weapons training leave them in danger when they're cornered or surrounded. Evasive skills like defensive rolls and jumps, as well as targeted attacks that hamstring and slow enemies, are as crucial to survival as any arrow or bolt in a hunter's quiver.
They have been around since the 13th century, sworn to the destruction of the creatures of the Burning Hells. While few in number in the hundreds, these shadow hunters swear allegiance to no one but the world. Many of their families were butchered by the Demons and those that survived were only children, taken in by the order.
"So, what can I help you for?" asked Valla.
"You can tell me about this," Aidan said as he shows Katarea's necklace, which bore the symbol of Excidium, another name for Baal, the Lord of Destruction.
As he places the necklace on the desk, Valla's face grew one of concern and hate.
"Baal…" She mutters his name. "I haven't seen a necklace like this in ages. Back when cultists thrived all over Sanctuary."
"I found this on the body of a Devil aligned with the Burning Hells," Aidan said. "Revealed to be a descendant of one of the original leaders."
"Then you do not know what has happened with the Underworld then?" asked Valla.
"From what I have only heard in the form of rumors. What has happened?"
"The Devils of the Old Satan Faction still live, many of them were the followers of the original Satans, Lucifer included," Valla revealed. "They sought to continue the Great War after the conflict had ended, but after the fall of their leaders, they needed new leadership. And they needed more power. To that end, they had become part of a greater organization originally founded with the purpose to create an opposing force to the growing alliance of mythologies."
"The Khaos Brigade…" Aidan deduced.
"Correct. Many of the pro-war Devils joined the Brigade as a means to further continue the war. But what they did not count on was the fact that the Brigade had already been corrupted by the Demons. The original descendants were visited by the Seven Evils and given an offer they could not refuse."
"Unlimited power in exchange for servitude?" asked Aidan. "But they had broken free of their enslavement to the Demons long ago. Why resort to it again?"
"I am not sure either," Valla begrudgingly said. "Perhaps their ego and pride wouldn't allow them to accept the reality of their situation. Or perhaps they found something of their past that they could now use against the current status quo. Or perhaps they are willing to become servants to Hell once more, but not in the form of slaves forced against their will."
This disturbed Aidan quite a bit. If the Old Satan Faction had fallen back to their original roots but as willing servants to the Demons, then that makes them even more dangerous. The case with Katarea Leviathan was clear enough given of her devotion to the Seven Evils. And with Baal now the only Prime Evil left, it is possible he may be in league of the Khaos Brigade, its true leader to be precise.
And if the Khaos Brigade is now consisting of both Devils and Demons, then Hell has come to Sanctuary's shores again. This time though, it is not for world domination but rather that of the original goal, enslave and manipulate mankind for the nephalem's power.
"What else do we know about the Khaos Brigade?" asked Aidan.
"Well, they are not just some bunch of ragtag group of pro war Devils. They're a terrorist organization consisting of even Fallen Angels, Angels, and even humans descended from legendary or mythological heroes. And Ophis, the Ouroboros Dragon, is its leader."
"Ophis…" Aidan utters the name, remembering the name Vali spoke of. "I wonder if Ophis knows about the demonic corruption within the Brigade."
"If Ophis does then she would back away. She would know better than to conspire herself with the Demons. She knows of how dangerous they can be."
"You've met her?" asked Aidan.
"Only once," Valla said. "But at the time, she took the form of an elderly man. Ophis is a genderless being after all."
"And what did she tell you?" asked Aidan. But before he could get his answer…
*RING RING*
Aidan's phone went off, showing he had a text message. Directly from Rias.
'Come quickly to the clubhouse. Everyone is returning.'
"You need to head back?" asked Valla.
"Unfortunately," Aidan nodded as he gets up. "We can speak another time."
"I'll contact you if I have learned anything else," Valla said. "And I'll keep the necklace."
Aidan nods as he makes his way out of the door and returns back to the clubhouse. Valla was left in her office as she picks up Katarea's necklace, glaring at it as if the situation before her was now more severe than she thought.
ORC CLUBHOUSE…
Aidan arrives back at the Clubhouse via a shimmering Town Portal blue portal, arriving on time as he saw the teleportation gate used by the Satans reveal itself.
"Rias!" Aidan catches up to his girlfriend. "Am I late?"
Rias smiles to see her boyfriend. "No. You're just in time. The portal has just appeared."
The two turn their attention over to see the portal light up as the first images appeared in bright white and red pixelated light before they took form.
The first to come out were the Satans. Serafall, Sirzechs, and Falbium looked as if they just came out of a jungle. Their attire was dirty and nearly ruined, with rips and tears. Sirzechs was also bleeding from the head, as evident with a head injury.
A shocked Rias rushes to her brother to his aid. "Onii-sama! What happened?"
"I'm okay, Rias," Sirzechs reassures her. "It was just a lot harder than I thought it would be."
"Asia, your Braid?" asked Aidan as he heads up to the fallen Satan.
"R-Right!" Asia said as she uses her Twilight Healing rings and An'Naresh to heal up Sirzechs. That bloody head injury was not the only thing he procured but Serafall and Falbium also needed attention.
Michael soon arrived through the portal. He was mostly intact and was the only one that remained relatively unharmed, but a lot of his power was spent, as evidenced by how tired he was. Xenovia heads over to Michael in order to check in on him.
Serafall was quiet, which was unusual for her given of her exquisite and perky nature. It could be just be exhaustion, but her expression told a different story. While it seemed remote, it was in fact fear. Despite her minor wounds and dirtied outfit, she felt depleted. Never had she had to work this hard in her life just to rescue one Fallen Angel from Hell. The Second Dark Exile was stressful enough for her, but this mission was something else entirely.
As Sirzechs was being healed, Aidan realized something in regards to the group.
"Wait, where are Johanna, Li-Ming, and Alrik?" asked Aidan.
"They remained behind," Sirzechs revealed. "To cover our retreat."
"What?" Everyone said, right before their attention was brought back to the portal.
The last few people who came out the portal were Azazel and Tyrael, with both arms of what seemed to be a Fallen Angel who was brutally tortured, bloody, and unconscious around their shoulders. His wings were either disheveled, shredded, or torn off. He wore no clothes, only a waist cloth that was ragged, bloody, and ripped. There were no ends to all the scars and wounds marked upon the severely and mortally wounded Fallen Angel. His head laid low in the dark, unable for the naked eye to see.
Akeno knew who this was. With a gasp and teary eyes, it was as if she had recognized him right away.
It was Baraqiel, her father.
"F…Father…?" Akeno hesitantly asked. But before she could get her answer, the medics came in.
As if right on que, a magic circle appeared from the ground, bearing the symbol of Ajuka Beelzebub, who must have sense their return. And as if he knew the outcome, he had sent in a medical team consisting mainly of Devils as they rush over to Azazel, Tyrael, and the unconscious Baraqiel.
"Take him to the hospital now!" Tyrael instructed.
With a stretcher available, they hoist Baraqiel onto it, however he was put. There was no time to put the restraints on as they were losing him fast. Oxygen was being supplied to him but it was going to take more than oxygen to save his life. Bringing him back to the teleportation circle the medics came through, they went swiftly as they could to the best hospital in the Gremory Territory.
Once they arrived at the hospital, the rest of the medic team was waiting, comprised of both Devils and Fallen Angels.
"Get him inside!" Azazel commanded. "Keep moving!"
Everyone rushes in to open the doors, with Azazel and Tyrael assisting as if they were on a battlefield so to speak.
"Out of the way! Get a doctor!" Azazel said. "Keep pressure on that wound!"
"I'm trying!" Tyrael said as he keeps an eye on the near conscious Baraqiel. "Hang in there, my friend."
Tyrael and Azazel kept going with Baraqiel as soon as he was headed to the emergency room. The doors soon closed on everyone else and were sealed, allowing only doctors and nurses to work on the dying patient.
"We're losing him," The head doctor saw his vitals. "Defibrillators ready. Charging at 250. 3, 2, 1, CLEAR!"
*BADUMP*
One charge was made to Baraqiel but there was hardly a response.
"Charge at 300. 3, 2, 1, CLEAR!"
*BADUMP*
More defibrillator charges were made to Baraqiel but there was still no response. Whatever was going on behind the scenes in the emergency room, it will be a battle that will test the limits and patience of all doctors available.
LATER AT THE HOSPITAL IN THE UNDERWORLD…
With Baraqiel over at the hospital and Azazel and Tyrael watching over him as he is put through immediate surgery, everyone else waited in the waiting room. Akeno was forbidden to join Azazel and Tyrael out of concern for her mental health, especially after seeing the weakened state her father was in. Serafall and Falbium returned back to their mansions to recuperate from their harrowing adventure, the former giving her report to her little sister.
A few hours had passed since then though. Everyone already on edge of what has occurred.
"Onii-sama, what happened?" asked Rias.
Sirzechs began his harrowing account of the mission. "Once we all went through the portal, it was…unlike anything I had ever seen. We knew we were in the Realm of Hatred but just barely as we had landed right at the edge of it."
He clearly recounts landing straight at the heart of evil itself, a realm of unending torment, rage, hatred, and vengeance. The screams of anguish and despair were carried away in the winds that blew. Flying creatures were seen above flying in between the realms.
"Baraqiel's prison wasn't too hard to find but he was heavily guarded. We laid low and infiltrated into the prison as quietly as we could, eventually reaching to Baraqiel himself who was right on the edge of death. But, that is when things took a turn for the worse."
"What happened?" asked Aidan.
"Releasing Baraqiel had advertently alerted the Demons to our position and a trap was sprung. Baraqiel's warden then arrived with a plethora of Demons, all of the elite prison guards. We would've been overwhelmed had the nephalem not volunteer to stay behind."
With Johanna, Li-Ming, and Alrik no longer around, everyone was worried about the nephalem's decision to remain behind. If they were left in the very heart of the Burning Hells, then hordes and hordes of endless Demons will simply keep coming and they will be overwhelmed in a matter of moments.
Aidan however was confident that if only the three nephalem were left behind, then they ought to have no problem finding a way out of the Burning Hells. After all, even the mightiest and most powerful of Demons have been brought low before such powerful mortals.
The sound of the doors soon opened to reveal the doctor who had just removed his mask and gloves from the surgery. The sight of him made everyone get up and meet up with him.
"Doctor, how is he?" asked Sirzechs as he speaks for the group.
The doctor gives a hefty sigh, as if he's exhausted. "Stable for now but we were just barely able to save him. More surgery is required in the days to come, especially on his wings which suffered the most damage and he will need several transplants. For now we have him placed in an induced coma and fed with oxygen. Signs of recovery are slowly but surely starting to appear."
"But?" asked Sirzechs, believing there was more.
This was when the doctor dropped the bomb as he sighs once again. "He may have to be hospitalized for life."
That was when Akeno could not take it anymore. Her legs buckled and gave in, making her fall to the ground. Aidan however was able to catch her and hold her.
Everyone else was shocked though.
"W-What do you mean hospitalized for life?" asked a surprised Rias.
The doctor explains, "The damage to him, though treatable, was far worse than we had anticipated and feared. In addition to the expected burns and internal injuries from the torture, he has suffered significant cellular breakdown due to long-term exposure to such dark magics. Some his wings, as you know, were beyond recovery. But worst of all, some of his internal organs and bone structures had begun to fail. And his power level has been sapped out."
In short order, Baraqiel, despite being treated extensively, was slowly dying. The torture and long term imprisonment must've been too much. At this point, it will take a miracle for him to recover. Long term recovery could last for years, decades, centuries even.
"Can… Can I see him?" asked Akeno in a voice of grief.
The doctor nodded, "Of course."
Everyone was led by the doctor to the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) where Baraqiel was currently being held up at. Once they arrived, what they found shook them.
Baraqiel laid on his bedroom, unconscious and with an oxygen mask. All of his wings were spread out to be treated with care, although 5 of his wings were missing. He was covered from head to toe in many bands. A heart rate monitor and blood pressure monitor were used to keep an eye on his still beating heart. IV tubes were connected to every part of his body either for blood, nutrition, pain medications, morphine, etc. For the sake of the patient, visitors were only allowed half an hour to visit him.
Tyrael and Baraqiel stood by his bedside looking after him, concerned of his catatonic state. After seeing everyone else arrive, Azazel stood up from his seat and turned his attention over to the group.
"Guys, let's give Akeno some space," He suggested. Tyrael nods his head in agreement, knowing that among the group, Akeno is taking this the worst.
Rias concurs and soon ushers everyone out of the room while Akeno slowly walks up to a comatose Baraqiel, sitting in her seat. As everyone departs, Aidan looks briefly behind him in concern for Akeno, wanting to be there for her. But words and actions at this point will be too early. Akeno needed some way to vent her grief in front of her rescued yet dying father so it was best to leave her be.
Everyone soon leaves as the door closes and the curtains were spread out to give more privacy.
Akeno sat by her father's bedside, all alone and looking at the man in his sleep. All the best doctors and medicine were available to help him but how long he will be in this state is unknown. Not to mention the therapy that may come afterwards once he recovers. If he ever wakes up and recovers.
Akeno didn't know what to say. All she heard was the silence, the noise of machines beeping to monitor his heartbeat and brainwave activity. His oxygen mask kept him stable, but he laid still, silently. And Akeno didn't know what to do. Her head laid low as she grips her hands, before tears fell afterwards along with the sobs of a daughter seeing a father she once hated in comatose.
But for starters, she could only say two words.
"I'm sorry…" She quietly and sorrowfully whispered.
She needed time. And lots of it to herself.
Unbeknownst to her, a female spirit appeared behind her, whose form looked eerily similar to Akeno's but taller and wearing a traditional kimono. She places a left hand on Akeno's right shoulder though she didn't feel it. Her expression, much like Akeno's, was one of grief, for leaving behind a daughter who became all alone and a husband who suffered so much in her stead.
If only Shuri Himejima could be there physically with her daughter and husband.
UNDERWORLD…
Aidan walked within the Underworld with only a dark cloak to cover his entire form. Since his head was still wanted in the Underworld, he had to tread lightly and carefully if he was to remain inconspicuous. After all, those who still want his head have set their standards of pricing high. If there was ever a chance he was sighted out in the open, he could be hunted. So any time he ventures back into the Underworld, he wears a dark cloak disguise so as to hide his face.
Unfortunately for him though, his cloak was the same one he wore as the Dark Wanderer. He had hoped to never wear it again after the events of Tristram but after the trial where he was nearly executed, there were still some people who wanted him dead. Luckily for him thanks to Diablo unintentionally, the cloak is able to mask his magic presence so that he would not be tracked.
However, he was being followed.
Rias had spotted Aidan heading into the Underworld and, with everyone else, decided to follow him discreetly. At first, she wondered why he was wearing a cloak that was concealing his presence from others, including her. Once they learned he was heading to the Underworld, curiosity struck her. Despite knowing that some of the lower nobles want Aidan's head, she decided to watch and follow him for his own safety. After all, as his master, she needs to watch over him carefully before he goes astray.
At the very least they kept their distance from him so as to not be spotted and, just in case, used some illusion magic to conceal themselves from Aidan so as to follow him quietly. They were already hiding behind some trees and bushes as Aidan was waling on the dirt road.
"Where is he heading?" asked Asia.
"I don't know, Asia, but we best follow him to make sure he is alright," Rias said.
"This part of the Underworld feels…unfamiliar," Koneko sensed, hiding in a bush like a cat.
"Agreed," Kiba concurred on a tree branch. "I don't think I've ever been a place so…secretive."
"Secretive?" asked Xenovia. "That's a bit unusual coming from you."
"We don't usually venture into places outside the Gremory Territory," Kiba explained. "Call it a desire not to trespass casually."
"Still to see Aidan wander out in the open like this with only a cloak…" Akeno said. "Maybe he's visiting a secret lover of his~? Ufufufu…"
Everyone was not so sure if that was a joke or not coming from the Priestess of Thunder. Regardless, their trailing of Aidan continued for another fifteen minutes, passing through the forest. What was amazing is that Aidan kept continuing to walk on the road, not bothering to stop to sense if anyone was following him. But they didn't know if he knew he was being watched or not.
Soon they came upon a large lake out in the open. It was beautiful, calm, and serene. But Aidan was not there to see the sights. His attention turned to what was right there by the lake.
And right by that lake was a wooden tavern, all of the lights inside were on and a lot of voices plus music was heard. On the sign for the name of the tavern, it was in bright blue letters, complete with an eight pointed star in the shape of a sun with a blue swirl in the middle.
The name of the place was embalmed in golden letters right below the symbol.
"Hearthstone Tavern…" Asia read the sign. "Are there taverns in the Underworld?"
"Not that I know of," Rias said. "Or rather, I have never been to a tavern before."
With curiosity in their hearts, everyone keeps following Aidan where he enters into Hearthstone Tavern. They could already hear music being played from what sounded like so many guitars mixed with an electric keyboard, along with voices of both male and females chatting away like nothing tragic was happening.
Once they peer through the window, they were sort of shocked to see what Aidan was doing.
He was drinking, and with people nobody in the ORC were familiar with. And he was…laughing? Drinking and laughing? Was this his new stint now?
"Senpai is a drunkard…" Koneko said with half opened eyes expressionlessly.
Akeno looked amused and chuckled. "Ara ara. I didn't know he drinks."
"This is…unexpected of him," Kiba was so surprised.
There were some people in there though who were not Devils. There were dwarves, elves of both light and dark skin, huge green orcs as well, gnomes whose short statures made them easy to overlook, goblins as well, even the enigmatic tauren, a race of large, bovine humanoids who dwell on the great plains. And on top of that, Devils were also present, ranging from a few of the nobles to commoners.
The doors to the tavern suddenly open up, surprising the ORC as they turn to see someone who had spotted them.
"Well, lookie here, boys!" The innkeeper said with a very thick Scottish accent. "We got ourselves some new friends!"
The innkeeper looked like a dwarf but with long orange-reddish hair and beard, the latter braided and held together by golden bracers, a big nose, and a roundabout body. He dressed as a typical innkeeper and had a pet mouse on top of his head.
(Author's note: For reference, his appearance is the actual innkeeper from the Blizzard Entertainment game Hearthstone)
Everyone was so spooked by the innkeeper who waved them over to come on in.
"Come in," The innkeeper encouraged to the Devils. "And shut the door. It's cold out there. Warm your frozen boots by the fire."
As everyone enters in, they felt the warm comfort of the tavern despite how busy it looked to be. As they were walking in, a lot of eyes turned onto their newcomers, including Aidan who was surprised.
"Rias?" asked Aidan as he turns around to see who the innkeeper was pointing to. "What are you guys doing here?"
"We were following you," Kiba said. "We wondered where you were heading in the Underworld of all places."
"But a tavern of sorts?" Xenovia was curious. "I didn't think you'd drink."
"I don't usually," Aidan replied. "I'm only here to relax and see one of my old friends."
"Hey, Aidan!" The innkeeper called out. "What'll your friends be havin'?"
Aidan chuckles. "They actually don't drink, Harth. Actually, why don't you give them something non-alcoholic?"
"Sure sure!" Harth then ushers the Devils to head to the bar. "Come in come in! I got a non-alcoholic menu here for you. And because you are friends with Aidan, meals are on the house for y'all!"
Koneko got excited for that, droll ready to pour out of her mouth.
"Koneko, not here!" Kiba shouted as he gets the napkin to cover her mouth.
"Aidan," Xenovia asked. "You know these people?"
"Some friends of mine I made during my travels with Uncle Deckard, including the innkeeper who is also the chef and brew master," Aidan said as he introduces his dwarven innkeeper friend with the food and drinks. "Guys, meet Harth Stonebrew. The innkeeper of Hearthstone Tavern and inventor of the world known card game Hearthstone."
"Hearthstone?" asked Akeno. "You mean that card game that has become popular recently?"
"The very one," Harth said. "It originally started as a card game here at my tavern, but since then it has spread all over like someone made the newest addition of ale."
To prove his point, Harth points to a corner of the tavern where they saw some of the locals playing Hearthstone, two players holding cards against one another with a designated hero.
"If you want, I would be more than happy to give you your own deck and teach you the game," Harth offered.
"Well that's—" Rias was about to say but then.
"Kyaah!" A scream was heard from Asia, making everyone turn to see her come face to face with some sort of fish creature.
It was a tiny, bipedal, amphibious humanoid thing with large eyes and four spikes on the head. Its skin was green, and it carried in his left hand a fish that for some reason was still wet. It apparently jumped onto Asia's lap, as if he was intrigued by such a lovely lady in the tavern.
Aidan recognized who or what that creature was.
"Murky!" He called out. The creature named Murky turns around and sees Aidan, before speaking in a tongue no one can even translate.
"Mmmrrglllm!" Murky said.
Aidan sighs. "Try not to frighten the girls here, will you? And try not to get stepped on. You're easily overlooked."
"Mrrglglgy, mgllglgl mgggrrmgl? MRGGGLGLLM!" Murky soon throws a temper tantrum, spitting water all over from his mouth.
Aidan holds his hands up to back himself off the fish creature.
"Okay, okay. No need to get all angry. Just be careful alright?" Aidan then speaks to Asia about her newfound companion. "His name is Murky, and he is a murloc. Don't underestimate him. He's not as fragile as you think."
Murky then turns his attention back to Asia.
"So… your name is Murky?" asked Asia.
"Mmmmmlrrgm!" Murky replied in his native tongue, which Asia found cute despite not understanding. Unfortunately, her sprite dragon Familiar, Raiden, felt Murky was getting too close to Asia and sprang up, jealous at the Murloc.
Throughout the night, everyone was having a great time. Devils, dwarves, murlocs, elves, and people from all over the Underworld came. Whether it be for a drink, playing the card game Hearthstone, making jokes, or tuning into the music, it was definitely a place where ale was good, and spirits ran high. One of the Underworlds best taverns almost in the middle of nowhere.
As the party gets dragged on, Aidan soon notices Rias leave the tavern right out through the front doors. Concerned for her, and with everyone else already enjoying themselves, he makes his way through the crowd and heads out to meet her.
"Hey, Firebrand!" Harth called out to one of the elves who had a black blindfold on him and black tattoos around his upper body. "Who was that on the phone?"
"Darkness called..." Firebrand said. "But I was on the phone, so I missed him. I tried to *69-Darkness, but his machine picked up. I yelled 'Pick up the phone, Darkness!,' but he ignored me. Darkness must have been screening his calls."
Everyone got a good laugh from that, along with a mix of reactions.
"Darkness… needs to get DSL," One of the guys said. "His line is always busy."
"Hey man. Never underestimate the power of the Darkness. Seriously, don't. Darkness gets all passive aggressive about it. Leaves little sticky notes everywhere."
"Who is this 'Darkness' anyway?" Someone else demanded.
A ringtone appears from someone in the corner as everyone was laughing and talking amongst themselves who picks it up. "Yes? Darkness! Hey, what's up? The Demon Hunter left you a message? No, I don't have his number."
And all throughout the night of the Hearthstone tavern, everyone was having a good time of drinking and talking.
Aidan manages to slip out of the crowd to see Rias standing alone outside by the lake.
"Rias?" asked Aidan as she turns around in surprise. "Are you okay?"
"Y-Yeah…" She said hesitantly as she turns around. "I'm okay. Just getting some fresh air, you know?"
But Aidan was not convinced. It was unlike Rias to simply bottle her worries away. After all, she did that when she was engaged to Riser Phenex and almost forced herself onto Aidan at night, an action she held great shame over. He could see Rias shake a bit in fear, which ached his heart. He never liked to see her this hurt or worry over something she kept private and personal. Though he would usually respect her wishes and not ask, as her boyfriend, he felt he had the right to know.
It was then that Aidan decided to hug Rias from behind, his arms around her shoulders. Rias was surprised but she did not dislike the action. She felt her nephalem's strong muscles around her, calming down her shaky shoulders.
"I'm here…" Aidan said, trying to reassure her.
Rias kept silent yet smiled, quietly thanking her lover that he could tell that something was upsetting her. But this particular problem she had was not something that could be explained in a few words or more. She needed to do more than that.
For Aidan, he deserves the truth more than anyone.
"Somnus…" Rias said. "There is something I need to tell you. No, show you."
"Okay," Aidan said hesitantly.
Turning around to face her lover, she takes his hands into hers gently and ushers them to her stomach. Aidan was briefly confused, feeling Rias' smooth and slim midbody, but it was in that moment that he felt something. A bump, and not an ordinary one. This could not have been some weight in terms of fat, but rather something more.
Then, through his own hands and ears, he felt a heartbeat.
And that made his eyes widen as he looks at Rias, displaying a face that meant that what he had felt was real.
"Rias…" A shocked Aidan realized. "Are you…?"
"Yes," She confirmed in a remote expression. "I'm pregnant. With yours."
As if time stood still for a brief moment, Aidan was speechless. If he heard it correctly in the belief he did not ask again, Rias, his girlfriend and master, was pregnant. With his child, born of nephalem blood and Devil blood.
Which meant that their baby would be half Devil and half nephalem, containing the power of Elder Angel and Demon. Something many people in Creation would call an abomination.
"Rias, I…" Aidan stumbles over his choice of words. "I, I don't—"
"You don't know what to say, do you?" asked Rias. "I know. I am like that as well."
Aidan was surprised. "How did you know?"
She gives a small smile. "I know you, my love. When it comes to situations such as this, you do not know what to do next."
Aidan was flabbergasted before his mood turned a bit more on the serious side.
"Then you must know that I won't let you go through an abortion if you are planning that," Aidan firmly said.
"Of course not," Rias denied, knowing what an abortion is and the consequences of it on a moral scale. "But… at the same time, I do not know what to do. If my family finds out about this, the Underworld will be in uproar. If everyone in our group knows, if the whole school knows, then—"
"I won't let that happen!" Aidan grasps her shoulders to reassure her gently. "We will keep this a secret from the others. Though it may be possible that your parents will find out. And if they do, we tell them the truth."
This however surprised Rias. "Are you mad, Somnus? If they learn that their heir and daughter who is not yet married is pregnant with child, then—"
"Then I will tell them that I did it," Aidan reaffirmed. "And that I will be willing to pay the consequences whatever they are."
But that answer totally caught Rias off guard, reigniting the past actions of her nephalem.
"NO!" She screamed abruptly, latching onto herself to Aidan and hugging him tightly. The nephalem was then caught off guard as well from Rias' sudden move, but he stood his ground against her hug even as he took one step back to stabilize himself. "I don't want to lose you! I don't want you to pay the price for this! I don't want to go back to that dark and awful place I was in for months! I— Mmph?!"
Rias' lips were immediately sealed by Aidan's, who kissed her just to calm her down. Struggling initially, she gave up slowly and melted into the kiss. But as soon as Aidan separates from her, she had a bewildered and blushed face, as if she was like some princess who had her first kiss stolen from a prince who calmed her down. She looks at Aidan with somewhat teary eyes, seeing him trying to do his best not to have her in such a panicked state over something that one could consider trivial.
"If it doesn't come to that though, Rias, I am sure your family will not turn you away because of this," Aidan said.
"How can you be so certain?" asked Rias in doubt.
Aidan sighs and smiles. "My mother was once a servant of your family and had developed a close bond to your parents. If they know who I am, then I think it will be fair to say that they will allow this and that they can keep your pregnancy a secret from the others."
Rias had nearly forgotten of the fact that Aurelia, Aidan's angelic mother, was a close friend and servant of the Gremory Family. She even heard directly from her father that a part of him had fallen in love with Aurelia and that Venalana Gremory, Rias' mother, was the closest to the Elder Angel.
"I know in my heart that you are going to be a great mother to our child," Aidan comforts her. "You are young, but I believe in you. Everything will be okay. And I would be more than willing to help you raise it as our own."
Rias had absolutely no idea what to say. In her mind before this, she thought Aidan would abandon her, perhaps ignore her after she reveals her pregnancy. She was so afraid of being left alone all because of a child, a half nephalem and half-Devil growing inside of her body. While it was of no doubt her Peerage and perhaps Sona would defend her on her behalf, she was more scared for Aidan. While the birth rate of Devils is indeed low, she never thought that she would be pregnant at this point in her life. She would've thought her whole world would come crashing down if she were all alone again.
But she never expected this twist of events. Of how Aidan was so happy and that he understood the consequences of what he and Rias had done. She was not so certain about the future now with her being in the very early stages of pregnancy. She was clearly afraid of what will happen next in the days to come.
But she trusted her nephalem. She trusted Aidan and his words as he was never one to lie. If they were indeed going to tell her parents when the time was right, then they had best be ready for it.
Giving herself into the persuasion, Rias leans herself into Aidan's chest.
"Rias?" He asked.
"Thank you, my love," Rias said. "And I trust you more than any other. I just hope, when we do tell them, that you will be there by my side."
Aidan smiles. "Always."
The two cuddle with one another as they return back to Hearthstone Tavern. Whatever comes their way, they will face it together.
Figured after season 2 I would make an OVA chapter as I do not want to jump into season 3 just yet. After taking a long and deserving break, I have finally finished it. And boy is this chapter in for many surprises.
First to start off, I know what you are going to say about both the beginning and the end of this chapter. Of the fact that Rias is pregnant and that this story may now well and truly be ruined. First of all, this is MY story and I will decide what to do with it, even if it means impregnating everyone's favorite waifu of this series. Second, if you have a problem of it just because of this, then do not bother to write a review and leave.
For those that are okay with this scene, just don't write anything so stupid about complaining. Accept for what it is and know that this is my story. If you support it, good for you.
And besides, Aidan would be cool with it considering his connection to the Gremory Family. That day will come when the two will tell the truth to the parents. And it will be together.
Whew! Now with that off my chest, let's get to more other bits. Another lemon for Aidan but with both girls this time now that he had sex with them on two separate occasions. And no i have not forgotten about Asia. She's just a delicate one to tread lightly with. As for Koneko, I figured she needed to get some bonding time with Aidan as we barely see the two interact so I figured why not play this off cat-like for now before things get heated.
Another nephalem but in the form of the Demon Hunter, Valla. Self-explanatory for this scene.
Baraqiel's rescue was a tough one to pull off since I was trying to make this scene as horrific as possible without having him die. After all, considering what Mephisto had told Akeno and the fact that Tyrael and everyone else wished to save Baraqiel, he had to live in some way that would still be a devastating blow to the Three Factions.
Finally, Hearthstone, the card game of Blizzard. I know everyone is going to say I have gone into the Warcraft Universe but rest assured we are still in the Diablo universe. It's just that Hearthstone, Warcraft, and Diablo all originate from Blizzard Entertainment, even if they have truly fallen from grace.
Next chapter will be the start of season 3. Stay tuned!
