The four KH characters will appear by the end of the first arc, so you'll see them sooner than you thought. Two of them are Kairi and Aqua, but who are the other two?

"W-W-What…?!"

Sora couldn't believe what he was hearing right now. Did this girl right before him, just ask him if he could be her boyfriend? It almost sounded as if he was dreaming, but no, he couldn't feel his sleep-resistance acting up. No, it didn't feel like he was daydreaming either, why would he even think of a girl asking him out? Plus, the girl wasn't even Kai— no, that wasn't important at the moment!

This was clearly reality, and this girl before him just ask him if he could be her boyfriend.

"W-W-W-What did you just say…?!" he asked with his mouth agape in disbelief, while his cheeks had turned red in embarrassment.

"W-Well, you see… I've been watching you from afar because… I'm a bit shy. You seem like a nice guy, so… I figured I'd just go for it." Yuuma said, smiling warmly at him despite her blush.

"W-W-Wait, where did this come from? I don't even know you!" Sora said incredulously, trying to get some kind of answer from the girl that would explain her actions. Seriously, there's no reason for her to ask him this question out of the blue, unless she was trying to tease him. Yuuma didn't look like she was teasing him, though.

"Y-You're right, so… let's go on a date together! One week from now, just the two of us! I-Is that okay with you?" she asked with a hopeful smile.

Sora stared at her in pure shock. Was this girl even hearing him out or what? It didn't even seem like she was listening to him. "Huh?! W-Wait a minute, I'm not even—!"

"Great! I'll see you soon, boyfriend!" she said cheerfully, ignoring the words that were about to come out of Sora's mouth. Yuuma then winked at the spiky brunette before skipping off, looking happier than she was earlier.

The keyblade wielder couldn't even process what was happening. Did this girl just ignore him and took his words as a 'yes'? He wasn't hearing just things, right? Also, he was sure that he didn't say yes to whatever Yuuma asked him! But why in the hell did she just ignore him like that? She just asked him a question, a pretty intimate one at that, took his stuttering as a yes, and walked off with a smile.

In any case, Sora's eyes were wide, his mouth agape, and his cheeks burning brightly at the fact that… well, Yuuma called him her boyfriend.

Regaining some of his composure, Sora attempted to call out to the girl while she wasn't far away. "Hey! Y-Yuuma! Let's talk about this! I didn't say anything about—?!" The young boy stopped in his words upon seeing something familiar follow Yuuma's retreating form. It was something he knew even at the first glance, and there was no fooling his eyes.

"I-Is that…" Sora's eyes widened again in shock, this time not because of a beautiful girl asking him out, but because of the black-purple mist that followed Yuuma's arms and legs as she walked away.

"Darkness? W-What…?" Sora's look of shock was quickly replaced with anger, realizing what just happened. "So that's it… she was trying to trick me! No wonder she didn't listen to anything I said!"

Clenching his fists tight, he was about to summon his keyblade and prepare for battle, only for him to notice that Yuuma was nowhere to be found. Sora gritted his teeth and looked around him, trying to see if she was still nearby, or perhaps playing a trick on him. He was being led into a trap the whole time, but fortunately for him, he was saved by his own embarrassment there.

Not seeing any sign of 'Yuuma' anywhere, Sora quickly left the place, not stopping in his run back towards Kuoh Academy. He just had an encounter with someone who was likely possessed or touched by the darkness, and he knew one person would love to hear about it. While on the way there, Sora made sure to keep a sharp eye around, checking to see if there were any Heartless that might appear. Whenever darkness was around, Heartless would surely follow.

"I have to tell Rias about this! Yuuma isn't who she says she is… maybe she knows something!"

"Are you absolutely sure of what you saw?" Rias asked her newest servant, taking in the events that Sora recounted after he was done in his task of delivering fliers around.

Everyone else in the clubroom had their eyes and ears directed to Sora as well, listening to the keyblade wielder speak about a young girl the same age as them, by the name of Yuuma Amano, asking him if he could be her boyfriend. Naturally, this got a displeased reaction from Rias but remained quiet for now, since Sora wasn't done explaining. There must be something more to this, because he wouldn't mention this kind of thing for no reason.

Sora then made it clear that he was too confused the whole time, but 'Yuuma' still took it as a sign of agreement and ended up declaring that they would go on a date next following week. He then tried to call out to her afterwards, only to see traces of darkness follow her trail before completely disappearing from sight.

Rias had a clear idea on who that 'Yuuma' really was, but she wasn't sure of her own theory, mainly due to how it didn't make sense. And so she asked Sora if he was sure of what he saw, otherwise it may just be a false alarm on the boy's part.

"I am," Sora replied with no sign of hesitation in his features. "Even if I was confused the whole time, I know that I saw. I know darkness when I see it, and my eyes couldn't have fooled me. Yuuma was touched by the darkness, Rias. I don't know how or why, but I think the Heartless are involved in this."

The redhead studied her pawn's expression for a while, before sighing into her hands upon realizing that he wasn't lying or making things up. "I guess we have a major problem on our hands, then. If my hunch is correct, they have set their sights on one of my servants." she remarked, already thinking of a possible course of action they could take.

While everyone else seemed to understand what Rias meant, the spiky brunette raised an eyebrow, clueless about this particular detail.

"Huh? Rias, what is this about?" Sora asked, raising his hands in confusion. "I thought we were talking about Yuuma?"

Rias' expression became serious. "Sora, about a week before you arrived in this world, I detected a foreign presence in this town, but it wasn't the Heartless. They only appeared directly after you did, and that was the first time we came across them. That foreign presence I felt resided in the abandoned church by the hill, and it belonged to a group of fallen angels."

Sora saw the abandoned church she was talking about earlier, getting a glimpse of the place from afar while he was delivering fliers. It reminded of the old mansion back in Twilight Town and he honestly wanted to go and check it out for a bit, but decided against it at the last minute.

However, he soon raised an eyebrow upon hearing the word 'fallen angels' from Rias' mouth.

"Fallen angels? What are those?"

"They are one of our race's enemies, Sora. If you remember when we first met, I accused you of being a fallen angel at first. That was because you can use weapons made of light like your keyblade. Fallen angels are once angels who have fallen from grace, which is shown from their black wings but are still able to use weapons of light like normal angels. They are angels who are cast out of Heaven due to their impure thoughts or wicked nature."

Sora cupped his chin in deep thought. "So like, they're kind of the Heartless of this world, then. If an angel gives his heart to darkness, then he becomes a fallen angel…"

Rias' eyebrows raised ever-so-slightly. "That's… a far-fetched comparison, but somehow accurate. Devils want to keep their control over the Underworld, while the fallen angels want to take over it. While we make agreements with humans to grow stronger, the fallen angels use them as tools to destroy us. Moreover, the Biblical God tasked his angels to destroy both devils and fallen angels, making this a three-way war. It's been like this for a long time now."

"That's… not good." This was the first time Sora had heard of a three-way standoff. The closest he could think of was Organization XIII and the Heartless, but that all changed when the Real Organization XIII appeared. Back in his worldline, it was simply a battle between light and the dark, but this new realm was something else. No two sides were allies and they were all fighting with only one coming out on top. Sora didn't even want to think of the casualties that would result from this war. "All the more reason for me to stay here for now." he thought, already planning to help end this fight in any way he can.

"The girl you met earlier, Yuuma Amano, I suspect that she is one of the fallen angels in this area." Rias continued, while the keyblade wielder only raised an eyebrow. For some reason, he wasn't surprised that his leader came to this conclusion, as if he was already expecting it.

"Are you sure about this, Rias?"

"Not a hundred percent sure, I'm afraid." Rias sighed and shook her head, getting confused looks from all of her peerage members. "I'm confused why she would target you, a devil, whose master happens to be the ruler of this territory. In fact, I'm surprised that she would even go after a devil in an area filled with them. Is she trying to dig her own grave or something?" she mused, thinking of a possible explanation for this strange scenario.

"Maybe she doesn't know I'm a devil?" Sora shrugged, putting his arms behind his head.

"That's not possible, fallen angels can tell humans apart from devils. But even if she wasn't able to sense that you're a devil, I wonder what is it about you that caught her attention. She wouldn't just pick a target out of nowhere without a reason."

"Buchou, I think that Sora-kun should go on that date with her." Akeno interjected, walking up to the redhead's side with her hands clasped in front if her. "Since we have no clue about her intentions as of now, our kouhai might figure out something if he goes on that date with the fallen."

"Huh?" Sora blinked. Where did this come from?

Rias looked like she was actually considering that idea, despite how stupid and dangerous it was. She looked at Akeno for a few moments before letting out another sigh.

"I hate to admit it, but I think your idea has its merits, Akeno." Rias groaned. "It may even give us some answers, even if it makes me uncomfortable to see Sora being with the enemy."

"Ufufu, there's no need to be jealous, Rias. You have all the time to be with him. You two live in the same apartment, after all~" Akeno teased, causing Rias to blush before narrowing her eyes at her friend.

"W-Wait, you want me to go on a date with her?" Sora asked in confusion. Weren't they just talking about Yuuma being a fallen angel and their enemy?

"I personally don't like it, but it's the only solution we have for now, Sora. We don't know why you're being targeted even though you're a full-fledged devil now. We also have no clue why they're even here in the first place. If you go on that date with her, there's a chance for you to know what her true intentions are."

Sora listened to everything that came out of Rias' mouth, before looking down. True, even he didn't know why would a fallen angel ask him out on a date. Furthermore, there was also the fact that she was touched by darkness. It would make more sense if he was attacked at that very moment. He was ready for a fight but no, Yuuma had to ask him to be her boyfriend and trick him into going on a date with her. What would she even do that for? Why wait a week?

None of it… made sense to him.

"There's no need for you to do it if you don't want to, Sora." Rias explained further. "It's only a suggestion made by Akeno. No one is forcing you to be with that fallen and if you refuse, we can just find another way to solve this problem."

"There's no need," Sora shook his head and brought his fist towards his chest. "I understand what I need to do."

"J-Just like that? Did you even think about it seriously?" Rias stuttered in shock. She honestly didn't get him most of the time. One moment he was confused and doubtful about a situation but before anyone could talk about it in a more serious manner, Sora already accepts it and declares that he knows what needs to be done.

Sora nodded. "Yep. Like you said Rias, there must be a reason why Yuuma is doing this. I don't believe it's something good, which is why I have to find out for myself. If I'm being targeted even though I'm a devil, then it must be because of this." Sora raised his hand and summoned his keyblade. "I know I saw darkness following her earlier and learning from what I went through in my adventures, darkness only means one thing: the Heartless."

"Are you saying that the fallen angels have allied with the Heartless?" Rias asked, her eyes widening in shock. Her other peerage members shared the same reaction, while also being impressed that Sora was able to come up with a hypothesis like that.

The spiky brunette crossed his arms, his keyblade vanishing in the process. "That's what I'll have to find out, right? We don't know anything about their intentions, and if I play along with what Yuuma wants from me, I'm sure I'll learn something." He then pointed to himself with a cocky grin on his face. "Plus, if anyone's gonna chase after someone clouded in darkness, it has to be me. I'm an expert!"

"You made your point." Rias shook her head in amusement, while also hiding a smile behind her hands. It was only Sora's first day in being a devil, and he was already full of surprises. "Very well, you can go on that date with the fallen angel, but only to get information from her, understand? Do not try to engage her in combat, it will be dangerous for you. A fallen angel's weapons are harmful to devils. If what you say is true and the fallen angels are truly conspiring with the Heartless, then that's more reason not to fight. What we need for now is information. Are we clear, Sora?"

Sora was about to make an argument that he can handle himself and a bunch of Heartless, but chose to keep his mouth shut. It would be hypocritical of him because he agreed to get some knowledge about 'Yuuma', not to pick a fight with her.

"Okay," he nodded.

"Good. I hope you don't think that I'm underestimating you and your abilities, because this is just for your own safety. You're my servant, and it's my responsibility to look out for you. I can't bear the thought of you being in grave danger, I hope you understand, Sora." she said solemnly, only to feel calmer when the keyblade wielder flashed his innocent grin at her.

"Buchou, do you really think this is wise?" Kiba spoke up out of worry. "Sending Sora alone in a recon mission is dangerous, because we don't know what might be happening to him. There's also no telling if that fallen angel would call on her allies and who knows what they might do to Sora."

Before Sora could reassure his friend that he'll be fine, Rias already voiced out her answer. "You're absolutely right, Yuuto. That's why Koneko will be following Sora and that fallen angel from a distance, so she can detect if there is any other presence following them from." Rias then looked towards the white-haired loli, who stood up from the couch and walked towards her upon hearing her name. "Koneko, the moment that that fallen reveals her true nature, be on guard and pull Sora out of there. Stay out of combat at all costs. Are we clear?"

"Hai." Koneko gave a stiff nod.

Rias turned her attention back to her pawn. "I expect you'll work well with Koneko for this mission, Sora?"

"You can count on us!" Sora exclaimed, standing straight and saluting his leader in respect, eliciting laughs from everyone else in the clubroom for his silliness.

"Oh, never change, Sora…" Rias giggled. "In any case, you did a good job on your first day as a devil. Now take some well-deserved rest, I'm sure it's been a long day for you."

"Thanks!" The boy turned towards Koneko and held her hand, leading her to the couch. The girl was surprised and blushed at his sudden action, but it eventually wore off as soon as she heard him speak. "Come on, Koneko-chan. I promised I'd show you the games I used to play on the Gummiphone, right? You're gonna love them, I'm sure!"

Koneko could only smile and nod her head in return.

(One week later)

Sora had no experience in dealing with the opposite sex, so he was a lot nervous heading into this date. He tried to ask Yuuto for advice on what he should do, but the blonde-haired teen had nothing to say since he had no experience with women as well. Sora thought of asking the other members of the club instead, but decided to just stay quiet about it; Koneko was obviously out of the question, Rias would likely tell him not take it too seriously, and Akeno… well, he had a gut feeling that it would be a bad idea if he tried to ask the raven-haired girl for advice.

Oh well.

Despite the fact that this was a mission in disguise for him, it was still a date because… well, he was alone with a girl and they were going to places, right?

Wait a minute, then that meant he already went on a date!

After saving Kairi with the power of waking, he went to Disney Castle with her, watching fireworks in the night sky while the king and his friends were welcomed back into their homeworld. The pair then went to the Land of Departure, reuniting Chirithy with an overjoyed Ventus before heading on to Twilight Town, where they ate sea-salt ice cream on the very top of the clock tower, while Roxas and his friends were happily reunited down below. Their last stop would be Radiant Garden where Sora released Namine's heart from inside Kairi's and transferred it into a replica, successfully bringing her back as a human.

Did that count… as a date?

Sora was alone with a girl for hours, going into different places and just enjoying their time together. The keyblade wielder was too happy at the time to even notice, to the point that he didn't know why everything just went black when they got back to the Destiny Islands. That was the time when he was erased from his worldline and got transported here.

Anyway, did he just have a date with Kairi…?

In his mind, he did. He couldn't bring himself to say it out loud, though. Typical Sora.

Believing that he already went on a date before, Sora willed himself to do his best for this one, despite knowing that he didn't have to take this seriously. That was just how he usually is.

He wasn't wearing his usual clothes of course, but rather a red shirt along with dark grey pants. Sora waited for Yuuma at the same bridge where he met her last week, and he was surprised to see her actually showing up, wearing a black shirt inside a pink vest and a matching miniskirt. If it was any other time, Sora would've blushed at how beautiful she looked, but he reminded himself that this girl isn't what she seems like.

Sora didn't see any shroud of darkness at her this time, which could only mean that she was concealing herself for now. Well, the best thing he could do at this moment was to play along until Yuuma reveals her true nature like was Rias told him, while also being wary for any tricks she would try on him. Sora already let himself nearly get fooled when they first met, but he wouldn't fall for it the second time. He was also lucky that he had some backup on his side.

Spying on the two from a distance was Koneko Toujou, who was standing behind a tree like what Sora instructed her to do. She kept a close eye on the girl who was with her senpai, while also preparing herself to spring into action at any moment.

The date honestly went better than what Sora expected; he took Yuuma on a walk around town, went to an arcade where he managed to win her a prize (Rias lent him some money in exchange for a favor in the future), stopped by a clothes shop where the girl tried out some clothes, and they ate snacks at a burger joint. If this wasn't a mission in disguise, Sora would've treated this as a successful date.

Well, at least he knew what to do in a date should he goes on another in the future, right? Kairi would surely be impressed!

Like all other things, the date was about to come to a close. The pair had arrived at the fountain in the park while the sun was about to set in the sky.

"I had a great time, Sora-kun." Yuuma said with a smile, taking the brunette's hand.

"I'm glad you enjoyed yourself." Sora replied with his usual smile, although it lacked the optimism that he normally shows. He knew that this girl was only acting, and it saddened him that she was an enemy in disguise. They could've been good friends.

They stopped in front of the fountain as Yuuma faced him. "Hey Sora, can you do me a favor? It's… something that will commemorate our date here and make it a day we can both remember." The girl said with a shy smile, looking at the ground in embarrassment.

"Sure! What is it?" he grinned, while secretly taking a glance at Koneko, who was hiding behind a nearby tree and kept her eyes glued on the pair.

"Would you die for me?"

The way her voice sounded sent chills down Sora's spine, catching him off guard for a moment. It was somehow like… Larxene's voice but much more alluring and sinister, and it caused the keyblade wielder to freeze in place. Was this her true voice…? Was this… the voice of a fallen angel…?

"W-W-W-What…?" he stuttered, slowly turning his head back towards Yuuma, who looked up at him with a sensual smirk on her face, completely different from her beautiful and innocent look from earlier.

"I said… would you die for me?"

Before he knew it, black angel wings sprouted from Yuuma's back, shredding her clothes and leaving her naked for a moment before she sported black leather that covered her body in a dominatrix outfit. Her body was barely covered with the leather as 'Yuuma' gained a twisted smile on her face, before taking off into the air with one flap of her wings. Her black wings also looked like they were emitting some kind of black-purple mist, which Sora knew quite well.

"Tsk!" Sora had already jumped back and prepared to defend himself if need be, but didn't summon his keyblade yet. "She really is a fallen angel… and her heart has been touched by darkness. I really want to deal with this right now, but I can't go against what I promised Rias!" he thought, looking up at the newly-revealed fallen angel with a glare.

"I had a lot of fun with you today." Yuuma said as she held out her hand, making a long spear out of light from her own energy as she gripped it tight afterwards. "Dating an innocent boy like you was the most interesting thing to happen to me in a while, so I'll make sure to treasure this thing." She held up the stuffed teddy he won for her in the arcade. "That is why I'll make this as quick and painless as possible. You and the Sacred Gear inside you is a danger to my kind."

With an evil smirk on her face, she threw the light spear at Sora, who didn't seem to flinch at the slightest.

"Not a chance!" Sora quickly summoned his keyblade and deflected the speeding projectile, causing the spear to hit the ground beside him instead.

"What?! You already awakened your Sacred Gear?! Impossible, it was sleeping inside of you! How did you awaken it so quickly?!" Yuuma demanded, in shock after seeing the spiky-haired boy defend himself from her attack so easily.

"I don't know what a Sacred Gear is, but you better tell me who you are and what is it you want from me." Sora retorted, narrowing his eyes at the fallen angel. It was clear to him that she was an enemy, but he still needed to find out about her true intentions.

"Oh, where are my manners?" she remarked sarcastically, before making a mock bow. "My name is Raynare, and I was ordered to kill you because of the threat that your Sacred Gear poses to my kind." The fallen angel named 'Raynare' glared daggers at the key-looking weapon in the boy's grasp. "Now I see that it's more dangerous than I thought, seeing that you can defend against a spear of light…"

"Huh?" Sora was confused upon hearing Raynare calling his keyblade a 'Sacred Gear'. That was the first time he heard of it, but he would have to ask Rias about it later, if that was the reason why Raynare was targeting him. "Wait a minute, this isn't what you call a 'Sacred—"

"Enough! I don't care how you awakened it, I'm ending this now! Your existence is a threat to us." Raynare interrupted him, making two more spears of light and throwing them at Sora.

"Back 'atcha!" Sora deflected both projectiles again, causing Raynare to get frustrated as she began to carelessly throw spear after spear at the keyblade wielder, who either blocked or deflected everything she dished out. Sora quickly glanced to the side, where he saw that Koneko was gone. His eyes widened and started to wonder where could she be, before managing to roll out of the way just in time to avoid Raynare stabbing him with another light spear.

"Why! Won't! You! Die!" she swung the light spear in different directions, attempting to catch Sora off guard with a rabid swing but the boy was quick enough to block all of her attacks. It then ended in a stalemate with the two of them trying to push back the other in a battle of strength. Raynare then gained an evil smirk as she formed another light spear with her other hand as she tried to stab Sora with it.

Sora saw this and quickly performed a backflip into the air, before landing a flying kick straight towards Raynare's midsection, knocking her back from the impact as the boy landed on the ground. While she was recovering, Sora continued to look around him for any sign of his white-haired companion.

"Koneko-chan, where are you?" he thought out of worry. He knew that he had to fight back, otherwise she would've killed him there. However, he wanted to stay true to his words and run away to report back to Rias, but he couldn't do that without Koneko.

Raynare recovered from the kick in no time as she clenched her fists tightly in rage. "You insolent, little brat! I'll kill you!" she growled with a twisted look on her face. She was about to charge towards Sora once again, only for a wooden bench to hit her from behind and causing her to turn around to see who was the culprit behind it.

Koneko Toujou stood straight with that blank look on her face, after throwing the bench at the fallen angel. "Leave senpai alone." she said tonelessly.

"Koneko-chan! You're safe!" Sora exclaimed out of relief, as he ran over towards the loli.

"A devil? What are you doing here?" Raynare asked through narrowed eyes, before she saw the keyblade wielder standing beside the little girl. Her eyes shifted from Koneko to Sora, then back to the girl. "Did you just save this human? There's no way you will do that unless—!" A look of realization dawned over her. "T-T-This is absurd! Y-You can't be a devil! I don't sense any trace of devil power from you!"

"News flash! I am a devil!" Sora pointed to himself with a grin. "Now why are you doing this? Did you even think about doing something in a territory filled with devils? Whatever you're planning, we're here to stop it!"

"T-That bastard…! He lied to me! He lied to us! He said you were only a human with a powerful Sacred Gear! When I get my hands on that guy with the hood…" Raynare spat out with a furious look on her face.

Both Sora and Koneko and were taken aback by this. "Huh?! Who lied to you? Guy with the hood? Who are you talking about?" the spiky boy asked in confusion.

"It matters not!" Raynare shouted, grinning evilly at the two devils down below. "Even if you gather all the devils here in this town, you will all meet your demise soon enough!" She then narrowed her eyes at Sora. "Enjoy your last days of being alive, Sora-kun."

That was the last thing Sora and Koneko heard from Raynare as the fallen angel flew off into the twilight sky, leaving the two devils dazed for a moment with what just happened.

"She's gone," Koneko said in a surprised tone. She was expecting the fallen angel to chase after them while running away but no, their enemy willingly retreated and flew off. It was a good thing neither her Sora-senpai nor herself got harmed, otherwise this would've been a more complicated situation. "Let's go, senpai." She turned towards Sora, who looked like he was deep in thought. "Senpai?"

"Guy with a hood… guy with a hood…" Sora thought, slowly clenching his fists in the process. "There's only one group of people I know who love to wear hoods… but aren't they already gone? Xehanort is already dead! Even if they're still alive, how can they be in this world too? They must be the reason why the Heartless started—"

"Senpai. Is everything alright?" Koneko interrupted his line of thought with a tug on his sleeve, bringing Sora back to reality.

"Huh? Oh, I'm fine, Koneko-chan." Sora responded with a smile, although he still looked quite serious which was something that seemed weird, even for him.

"Are you sure, senpai? You looked quite serious just now." the girl asked in her monotone voice, although there was a hint of worry in it.

"I'm okay, really. I was just thinking about what Yu— no, what Raynare said." Sora replied, immediately correcting himself when he was about to say the fallen angel's fake alias. Right, Yuuma was just a disguise and Raynare was her true name. "I might have an idea about who she was talking about when she mentioned a guy in a hood, but we better head back for now. We got what we needed, and Rias must be getting worried for the two of us."

Koneko nodded and was about to walk off with him, only for Sora to stop her.

"Wait, it may be dangerous if we walk back to school the whole way. There could be Heartless running around because where darkness goes, those things follow… and Raynare definitely had darkness in her heart. You must have seen it too, right? Hang on to my back, I'll take us there." Sora grinned as he knelt down, his back facing Koneko.

"Using devil powers in front of other people is forbidden, senpai." Koneko deadpanned, thinking that Sora was going to fly them all the way to school. Although he was right, she did see some dark-purple lines flying with the fallen angel earlier, which honestly terrified her for a bit. That must be the darkness that Sora was talking about, and all the more reason to inform Rias about it.

"Who said anything about using devil powers?" Sora said with a smug grin. "Just hang on to my back and trust me. I got this!"

Koneko was curious but eventually chose to place her trust in her senpai, wrapping her arms around his neck as Sora stood up while holding the girl by her legs. Due to her short size, the keyblade wielder was able to easily carry her on his back.

"W-What are you planning, senpai?" Koneko asked, blushing a bit from the embarrassing position she was in. However, she also felt at ease, being this close to the keyblade wielder made her feel safe.

"Hah! Just hang on tight and take a deep breath, Koneko-chan!" Sora exclaimed as a red aura covered them both, before he used his Flowmotion to take off with great speed, speeding back towards Kuoh Academy.

And there we go. The date with Yuuma has passed, and Sora didn't die. Phew. Raynare's gonna feel that kick for days, though. Lol. Wonder why she thought of the keyblade as a Sacred Gear. Note that Azazel and Rias also thought of it as one, not just her. Also, it seems like there's a 'guy with a hood' conspiring with her and the fallen angels… knowing Kingdom Hearts and its history with guys wearing hoods, it's anything but good. Next chapter should be interesting.

Goodbye… and good night! BANG! *too sweet gesture*
