Chapter Five
And His Mercy Is Divine
Heathcliff sighed as he climbed up the side of the old school house with only one hand. His other was occupied with holding the tied up woman whom he had knocked out only minutes ago. She was relatively light for him, but that didn't matter when one was climbing with only one hand for balance purposes.
Y'know… she's got huge tits, but they're the heaviest things on her… Heathcliff thought as he shrugged his shoulder for a better grip on his webbing. He soon reached the top window and knocked on it quickly, as to not lose his balance. He senses Rias get up and walk over to the window, opening the shutters and looking down at Heathcliff.
"Delivery for Rias Gremory. A Fallen Angel!" Heathcliff exclaimed sarcastically, tossing the woman into the window. Rias quickly stepped out of the way of the body as Heathcliff soon followed his payload. Rias narrowed her eyes at Heathcliff, the universal look that demanded an explanation. He smiled at her as he propped the woman up against the wall.
"She tried to kill me on my way back from handing out those flyers. I kicked her a few times and tied her up. I thought we could question her or some CSI shit like that." Heathcliff said as he stood up and leaned against the wall. Rias nodded at his explanation, eyeing the woman curiously.
I always thought Pop interrogated people, but he mainly defended them. I suppose this chick can tell us why her kind keeps trying to kill me of all people. Go kill a dictator or some shit, not my sorry ass. Heathcliff thought as Rias examined the woman. Akeno walked into the room at that moment and Heathcliff smiled at her.
"Hey. Guess who tried to kill me this time." Heathcliff said with a half grin. Akeno quirked an eyebrow, but smiled at him. She thought for a moment, putting an arm under her bust, attracting Heathcliff's eyes for a split-second.
"Hmm… A Fallen Angel?" Akeno guessed. Heathcliff nodded, gesturing to the woman who was still unconscious.
"Yep, but this time I whooped ass. Well, I think I kicked her in the boobs, but it doesn't matter." Heathcliff said with a laugh. Akeno's eyes widened as she walked over and glanced at the woman. She then turned back to Heathcliff, eyeing him up and down.
"But, you're okay, right?" Akeno asked. Her smile was replaced with a concerned expression, making Heathcliff's heart explode.
She's… concerned? "Uh… yeah… Thanks. I'm quite alright." Heathcliff answered with a slight grin.
"I rarely get injured anyway, and the only reason I nearly got killed is because I was tricked. I wouldn't worry about me too much. It'll give you a heart attack." Heathcliff added with a joking smile. Akeno shook her head and stepped towards him, putting her soft hand on his forearm. Heathcliff's heart skipped a beat.
"Don't be so cocky. I was really worried when Rias was called away because you nearly died. Those Fallen Angels are terrible, so please be careful." Akeno said with a serious expression. Heathcliff's grin faded as he nodded solemnly.
Huh… She's really worried. I can't believe it. But… Oh man, I've never had anyone besides Mum worry like that. Heathcliff thought as he slowly placed his hand over Akeno's. She glanced at his eyes and he smiled again.
"Course. I do remember something about you killing me, so I can't die yet." Heathcliff said. Akeno smiled and shook her head at his jokes.
"You're so silly." Akeno said with a giggle, squeezing his hand. Rias stood up and turned to Heathcliff, putting her hand on his shoulder.
"I also worry about you, Heath. You're a part of this Peerage now, and that makes you important to me. So, whatever you need, I'm here." Rias said, smiling warmly at Heathcliff. Heathcliff himself felt a weird mixture of emotions. He was giddy and excited about Akeno paying attention to him, but he was also slightly confused and unsure of how to respond to Rias's sudden attention.
Uh… What's happening? Heathcliff wondered. He glanced back at Akeno to see her smiling darkly at Rias, as if she had just offended her deeply. Heathcliff sucked in a quick breath when Akeno's grip got stronger and Rias put her other hand on his chest.
"Uh… Thanks Rias… uh… um…" Heathcliff mumbled as Rias and Akeno smiled at each other with hidden malevolence behind their expressions. Rias slowly started to pull Heathcliff into a hug, one he was not prepared for. He was also unprepared for when Akeno put herself under his arm and held onto him.
Uh… WHAT THE FUCK!? What's happening? Is there some shit I'm not in on, but involved in? I don't like being involved in shit I was not informed about! Heathcliff thought as he awkwardly stood between the two women.
"Rias, I'm sure Heathcliff appreciates the concern, but I'm here in case he needs anything." Akeno said after the moments of silence. Rias giggled, pushing Heathcliff's arm deeply into her bust, making him blush.
"Oh, how sweet. But Heathcliff is my Pawn and I have to take care of him, so you don't have to worry yourself over him." Rias responded. Heathcliff could feel the sass of their words. He was extremely uncomfortable, but not opposed as Akeno moved to rest his wrist on her chest.
Oh fuck… don't tempt me… please don't. This is really tough. Heathcliff thought, flexing his arm to freeze it. He did try to move it, but Akeno didn't seem to want him to, so he left his arm where it was. He dared not move his other arm for fear he would regret any aftermath of what could happen. So, Heathcliff remained where he was, stuck between a soft girl and another soft girl.
The only rock and hard place is in my pants… Heathcliff thought as he tried to retain his sanity. He decided to preoccupy himself by monitoring the woman in the corner by using his Presence Sense to feel for her consciousness to return. That seemed to be his only saving grace at the moment.
When her heartbeat picks up is when she'll wake up… I think. Heathcliff thought as Akeno and Rias started another heated conversation between him. Over the years, he had learned how to 'disengage' one of his senses and in this case, Heathcliff didn't focus on any sounds. He only focused on the feeling of his Presence Sense.
Any moment now… Heathcliff's breathing became controlled and paced as he focused. He was good at focusing when he wanted to.
Ah, there she is. Heathcliff thought, glancing at the woman who slowly stirred in the corner. Rias noticed his glance and quirked an eyebrow before nodding in understanding. She finally released Heathcliff and stepped over to the Fallen Angel who groaned in pain.
"She's awake…" Akeno muttered, releasing Heathcliff. He nodded and stood behind Rias, trying to look as intimidating and ominous as possible by towering over Rias. He felt Akeno step behind him and place a hand on his back, it felt reassuring to Heathcliff.
"H-Huh…? Who're you? Where did that-!" the woman started speaking and looked up, but cut off her sentence with a sharp inhale when she noticed Heathcliff looming over her. Rias smiled wickedly.
"Hi there. What's your name?" Rias asked. The woman glared briefly at Rias, but quickly lost the attitude when Heathcliff growled.
"Answer the question. Or do you like the taste of boot that much?" Heathcliff asked, tapping his foot slightly. The woman groaned in annoyance and looked at Rias with a blank expression.
"I'm Kalawarner." Kalawarner answered with a sigh. Rias nodded.
"Alright, Kala, can I call you Kala? Don't answer that, I'm going to anyway. So, Kala, who do you work for?" Rias asked, twirling a strand of Kala's long hair. The Fallen Angel growled, but hers was outclassed by a venomous rumble from Heathcliff.
"Speak." Heathcliff demanded. He felt a rubbing on his back and took it as a sign he was doing well as the intimidation factor. Kala sort of glared at him, but his was twice as intense because he had quite the reason to be angry with her.
"A powerful Fallen Angel named Kokabiel." Kala answered, looking at Rias again. Rias nodded, but Heathcliff felt her mood dampen.
What? When could I sense emotional changes? Must be from the Devil power boost-y thing. Heathcliff thought. He heard a chuckle from inside his mind as a silence set over the scene.
[Yeah, it is. Know what else is cool?] Kiva said, breaking his hours-long silence. Heathcliff hummed internally as a response.
[I found out a spell of kinds that you can cast. I was playing with the sense that can catch magic and figured this out. It works in conjunction with the Combat Morph in a sense. Try saying 'Blades of Hell Spawn' and pull on the seventh sense.] Kiva explained. Heathcliff blinked as he felt his seventh sense and did indeed have the ability to push and pull the energy around. Though he could only control the energy already within him.
"This is bad. Kokabiel is a very powerful Fallen Angel." Rias said, standing up next to Heathcliff. He nodded to her, but he wasn't exactly sure what she meant.
"Uh, what's that mean for us?" Heathcliff wondered. Rias turned to him with a serious expression.
"Fallen Angels, Angels, and Devils are supposed to be at peace. If a Fallen Angel is conducting something sinister in our territory, it could mean war." Rias explained. Heathcliff nodded, still confused, but less confused at the same time.
So… big bad Fallen Angel wants a war. I wonder if he'll want a war after I kick him in the throat. Heathcliff thought as he kneeled down next to Kala, getting uncomfortably close to her.
"What's this… Koko dude planning? Or whatever his stupid ass name is." Heathcliff stated, lifting Kala by her chin to look into her eyes. She shivered in his grasp, something he found odd.
"He wants war." Kala said without much coaxing from Heathcliff. He nodded and released her, but she seemed upset that he did.
Alright, ignoring the weird shit… This bastard wants to start a war between, like, three factions. I'm on one side of this equation, so this applies to me. How do I combat him if I have no idea where he's at? I should ask her that… huh? Heathcliff turned to see Akeno watching him intently after his thoughts concluded. He could feel her annoyance, but with what, he did not know.
"Okay… So, where's Koko at? He hiding in a Macca's or some dumb shit?" Heathcliff asked Kala. She didn't answer at first, so Heathcliff cracked his knuckles and grabbed her by the side of her head.
"I don't know! I really don't…" Kala said immediately after Heathcliff grabbed her. Heathcliff found it odd that she only answered him when he touched her, though it might be a fear factor since he had hit her pretty hard back on the street. He gently released her, and even fixed her hair slightly.
She really does seem scared. No sane man hurts a defenseless lass. Heathcliff thought, letting his soft side for women show as he continued to fix her hair.
"Sorry… I don't actually want to hurt you. Not unless you've got your fists up." Heathcliff mumbled. Kala blinked at him, whether in shock or confusion, it mattered little to him at the moment. He annoyed himself for acting so roughly.
"Wow… Heathcliff is just a softie with a hard exterior." Koneko said as she entered onto the scene. Heathcliff had felt her coming some thousand meters or so ago when she was outside, but he didn't really care. He gave her a sidelong glance of annoyance before returning to Kala's hair.
"It's just not in my nature to be real mean unless I've got good reason. You're another story, though." Heathcliff jested towards Koneko. The girl ground her teeth at him and huffed, going to sit on a couch. Kala giggled and everyone excluding Heathcliff glanced at her with mixtures of shock and curiosity.
"What? He's funny." Kala said, pouting and leaning into Heathcliff's hands as he was now just playing with her hair. He didn't really care what he was doing anymore, he just kept going. His conscience told him he was repenting for his earlier actions, so that is what he was doing.
"You've got smooth hair. It's a cool color, too. Reminds me of the midnight sky when the Aurora Australis comes around, shining blue and other colors around the dusty outback. Adding to the delicate, yet powerful beauty of Australia." Heathcliff said, loosing himself in his own mini-speech. Kala was staring at him, and Akeno was glaring at him.
Huh… I didn't really think I'd say that. I also didn't think about saying that… I probably shouldn't have done that. I was going to reserve myself to Akeno… Shit. Heathcliff stopped what he was doing when his thoughts uncovered a revelation. He just complimented a totally different girl, and on top of that, one Akeno didn't like.
"Well, uh… I didn't… um, I didn't mean to say that… I just kind of… did. I mean… uh…" Heathcliff muttered as he avoided looking into Akeno's eyes. He could feel her stare. It was intense and filled with anger. He could also feel Rias's stare, though it was more shock than anything, but also…
Huh? Why is Rias smiling? Heathcliff wondered, looking at Rias briefly. She was indeed smiling, but it was a very sly smile. It made Heathcliff nervous, if he could get any more nervous than what he already was. Heathcliff stood up and turned to Akeno, only to have her turn away and walk out the doors of the clubroom. Heathcliff turned to see Kiba standing in the doorway with a confused expression. He gave Heathcliff a curious look, but Heathcliff shook his head and bolted past Kiba with silent steps.
"Akeno! Wait! Please!" Heathcliff called as Akeno walked straight outside towards the school and then turned towards the front gates. The cool night air cut through his shirt as he ran. Akeno didn't stop walking, so Heathcliff had to improvise.
Alright… Plan B. Heathcliff thought as he launched a web at the top of the school, using it as a leverage point while he jumped and swung himself into the air. He landed on the wall of the school, his web quickly decomposing after he detached it from his wrist. From the wall, Heathcliff ran a short distance before leaping off and down several meters in front of Akeno. He landed on one knee, hitting the ground rather hard and nearly cracking the concrete as Akeno stopped in front of him.
"Akeno… I… I know I messed up but, please hear me out." Heathcliff said, taking a quick breath. Akeno stared down at him, tapping her foot impatiently.
"Look, I… I like you… a lot. I really do-" Heathcliff started.
"Then why'd you compliment that… Fallen Angel?" Akeno interrupted sharply. Her tone made Heathcliff flinch while he kneeled, staring at his fist on the pavement. He sighed.
"I don't know. All I know is I shouldn't have because that would mean I wasn't as interested in you. But, I want you to know that I would do it all the time whenever I talked to a girl. I just started talking. I… I never wanted to upset you. Not in a billion lifetimes." Heathcliff explained. He took a breath, hoping he wasn't sounding like he was making excuses. He hated making up excuses.
"But you did. What's so great about that woman? Also, why should I believe that you just 'did it'?" Akeno asked. Heathcliff flinched again. He wasn't enjoying her tone. It made his heart ache.
"Then… don't. I'm sorry. I just felt… I know she tried to kill me… and you don't like her for that, or for whatever reason. But, what I did… what I never want to do, and by God if I'm lying, strike me down. But I never want to hurt a helpless woman. Not even if it would save my life. Not even if it would've saved Pa's, cause I know he'd never want me to." Heathcliff stated, a tear forming in his eyes. He inhaled sharply, holding back his emotions. He wanted to kick himself, for whatever reason, he didn't know. He felt Akeno's stare lose its power, and she took a few steps, stopping in front of Heathcliff. She crouched down and put her hands under Heathcliff's chin, lifting his eyes to hers. He couldn't look at her.
"Heathcliff… please look at me." Akeno whispered. Heathcliff took a shaky breath, clearing his eyes of tears he didn't know he had with a quick blink. Then, he moved his azure eyes into Akeno's violet ones.
Oh God… Heathcliff thought. His emotions dulled into calmness, and his senses returned to him, as he had unknowingly blocked his feeling of them. Akeno smiled, rubbing his cheek gently and combing his hair with her other hand.
She's so calming. Why, though? This is the weirdest thing… but amazing. Heathcliff thought as his mind hardened. His soul rested. His body… grew powerful.
"You're forgiven, Heathcliff. You silly, sweet boy." Akeno said as she slid her arm around Heathcliff's neck. She pulled him into a hug, crouching in front of him. Heathcliff felt himself smile, and he put his arms around Akeno's waist. She giggled as he slowly stood up, bringing her with him and holding on tight as he dug his nose into the nook of her neck. He inhaled deeply, bringing in her sweet scent. So light and delicate that he would've never noticed how much he liked it if he hadn't been breathing it in now.
So, she's just lavender all over? And her own special scent as well. Whatever… she smells amazing. Heathcliff thought as he tightened his grasp around her. He barely took note of her heavy breasts as they pressed into his chest. It was of little concern, but it did make him blush slightly.
"Thanks… Akeno. It means a lot. More than you could realize." Heathcliff mumbled. Akeno rubbed his back and caressed his neck. He sighed deeply, and slowly set her down when she wiggled in his grasp.
"Hey, whoever said to let go?" Akeno asked, pouting through her smile at Heathcliff. He blushed, scratching his chin in thought.
"Uh, I thought you wanted down." Heathcliff mumbled. He smiled too, unable to control his excitement and relief. Akeno shook her head and reached her arms out again. Heathcliff obliged and picked her up about the waist, but this time she put her legs around his waist. Heathcliff nearly stumbled, but caught himself as Akeno did this. She giggled, leaning back slightly and narrowing her eyes playfully.
"Actually, I wanted to play just a little." Akeno whispered, leaning her head against Heathcliff's and sticking her tongue out at him. Heathcliff chuckled, closing his eyes as Akeno grazed her lips over his. She smiled once more, then pressed forward.
Oh, oh God… Heathcliff thought momentarily before losing himself in Akeno's softness. Her lips pressed to his, they exchanged movements, and held each other tightly. They kissed calmly, but Heathcliff was getting antsy and started kissing her more aggressively. Akeno fought him back with equal vigor, and Heathcliff was surprised when he found her tongue prodding at his lips. He allowed her to stick her tongue in his mouth, and both of them moaned slightly when their tongues intertwined. Heathcliff found himself trying to dig his tongue deeper into her mouth, and even found his hand tangling itself in her hair and the other slowly sliding down her back.
"Oh!" Akeno exclaimed, breaking their kiss. She looked down to see Heathcliff's hand grasping a handful of her butt. Following the arm up to its owner, she narrowed her eyes and smiled as Heathcliff sheepishly grinned. He slowly let go of her butt and slid his hand back up to her back.
"Naughty, naughty, naughty…" Akeno teased, drawing circles on Heathcliff's chest with her finger. He blushed, and groaned lightly.
"Sorry… I… I shouldn't have…" Heathcliff trailed off when Akeno's finger was placed on his lips. She shook her head and slowly leaned in, moving her finger and pecking his lips.
"It is no problem at all, but no more play time." Akeno said, climbing off of Heathcliff. He sighed in disappointment, releasing Akeno from his grasp. His arms felt empty.
Dammit… I suppose I should be happy she didn't just strangle me. Heathcliff thought as Akeno started off towards the schoolhouse without him. He sighed again and followed, shoulders slumped. Akeno stopped, making Heathcliff glance at her curiously. When he approached, she turned and pushed her hand against his stomach, groping his muscles.
"Akeno… what in the hell?" Heathcliff wondered with a grin as Akeno stopped grabbing him.
"There, now we're even." Akeno said with a playful smile. She pinched Heathcliff's cheek and turned, walking off with a bounce to her step. Heathcliff smiled, rubbing his cheek where Akeno pinched him.
Damn… now she's really got me hooked.
Heathcliff climbed through the window once more, confusing Kala who still kneeled in the corner. Heathcliff grinned at her, sticking his hand on the wall and lifting himself off the ground, horizontal to the floor.
"I'm pretty cool." Heathcliff said, dropping down silently. Kala nodded with an interested expression. Heathcliff then leaned on the aforementioned wall and glanced over to Rias who sat at her desk with a contemplative countenance. He glanced back at Kala, who seemed to do the same to him, but she looked to be shifting a lot.
She looks really uncomfortable… Heathcliff thought as he stood up. Akeno had walked in the same moment he had, and had gone back to speak with Rias. Heathcliff paid little heed to much aside from his focus on Kala. She gulped as he approached, and even smiled through trepidation.
"Hey, you okay? You look uncomfortable." Heathcliff said. He felt stupid, feeling concern for someone who attempted to kill him. But, Heathcliff was nothing if not courteous.
"Um… I am, but why do you care?" Kala asked, raising an eyebrow at him. Heathcliff sighed, kneeling down in front of her.
"Pop always taught me to be polite to girls. No matter if they hated me… or tried to kill me. Though, I don't think he expected anyone to actually try to kill me." Heathcliff said with a lighthearted chuckle. Kala giggled, then stopped abruptly and blushed, turning away from Heathcliff. He grinned.
"Hey, it's alright. So, what would it take for you to be comfortable?" Heathcliff asked, checking the knots on his webbing. Kala blinked at him with disbelief.
"Uh… well, I'd like to be untied. I know you won't-" Kala started, but Heathcliff stood up, making her stop her sentence. He grinned, and lifted his fist.
"Say no more. Blade of Hell Spawn." Heathcliff said, focusing his seventh sense and pulling on his abilities that Kiva had granted him. The result of the spell was an obsidian blade more than a half meter long that jutted from the joint of his wrist on the back of his hand. The blade was Mahogany Obsidian and was smooth with a double edge.
"Oh, now that's sweet." Heathcliff said, examining the blade. Kala blinked in astonishment, a feeling that only increased when Heathcliff expertly slashed her bonds off in a clean swing.
"HEATHCLIFF!" Rias shouted, noticing the action. He turned around and shrugged.
"What? She was uncomfortable. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her till you figure something out." Heathcliff said with a casual wave of his hand. Kala stood up, stretching herself and smiling at Heathcliff.
"Thanks…" Kala said. Heathcliff lifted his wrist blade up, making her cringe.
"No problem, but no sudden moves. Or, I'll tie your wrists up. I could also cut you." Heathcliff said with a serious expression. Kala nodded, relaxing slightly.
"You saw how easily I dodged your attacks. You move, I'll know." Heathcliff said, retracting his blade with a snap of his wrist. Kala nodded once more and stayed extremely still while he turned and walked towards Rias.
"Heathcliff… why are you so nice to her? She tried to kill you!" Rias shouted. Heathcliff nodded, but also shrugged.
"Yeah, but she's not all that bad. If she's smart, she won't move." Heathcliff said as he picked a pen up from the desk and whipped it behind him. It stuck in the wall next to Kala, making her yelp. She stared in shock at Heathcliff as he shook his head, not even turning around.
"I told you not to move." Heathcliff said, pointing at Kala's foot. She nodded and slid her foot back next to the other. Heathcliff grinned, thanking Kiva for the sixth sense he possessed.
"Well… I suppose…" Rias muttered. She was impressed by Heathcliff's power, so she let Kala's release slide.
"Now, we have no idea how to stop Kokabiel, seeing as how Kalawarner does not know where he is… But while you were gone, she did explain that her superior, a Fallen named Raynare has a sinister plan in store. The plan will benefit Kokabiel, something we can't have happening. For now… I don't know what to do with Kalawarner until we can figure out what to do. I'd like to call it a night so I can think, but…" Rias sighed as she trailed off. Heathcliff nodded as he listened. He continued to check his Presence Sense, making sure Kalawarner didn't move. Then, an idea came to him.
"Rias, Kiva can monitor all of my senses and surrounding while I sleep. He's been resting for a while, so I'm sure he can make sure of Kala's security while we all rest. I can watch over her." Heathcliff explained, making Rias raise an eyebrow at him. Akeno gave him a look, one he wasn't sure of what it meant. He also felt Kala's eyes behind him. Her heart rate increased.
"Good idea, Heathcliff. Take her back to your house and monitor her. She will stay with you, but she is not free from our suspicions." Rias said, making Heathcliff blink in confusion. Before he could speak, Akeno chimed in.
"No. I don't trust her. I don't want her near him at all." Akeno said, shooting a glare back at Kala. The woman glared back, but Heathcliff intervened before any words were exchanged.
"Now hold on, I never said she could go to my house! What would my mother think!?" Heathcliff exclaimed, thoroughly confused about the proposition. He crossed his arms and furrowed his brow in annoyance.
"I'll handle that. Akeno, Heathcliff can handle himself. I'm sure of it. Now, this discussion is over. Let's go, Heath. Get Kalawarner." Rias commanded, getting up and walking around the desk. Akeno groaned and Heathcliff put a hand on her shoulder with a sigh.
"Don't worry. Everything's going to be just alright." Heathcliff assured her. Akeno smiled at him one last time before he turned and went to fetch Kala.
I'll be damned if I let anything go awry. You got my back, mate? Heathcliff called to his partner. He heard a laugh in his mind.
[Course I do. Always have, always will, forever till the day we die.] Kiva answered.
Forever, till the day we die. Heathcliff repeated as he approached Kala. The woman was fidgeting nervously as Heathcliff approached, but settled down when he gestured for her to follow him and they caught up with Rias outside.
"Heathcliff, I'm trusting you with this task. Keep watch of this Fallen Angel, and if she gives you any trouble, you have the authority to execute her." Rias said with a dead serious expression. Heathcliff nodded, albeit reluctantly.
"I don't think death will be necessary. I'll do my best. Meet you at my place, since I assume you know where it is." Heathcliff said, and Rias nodded. He turned and reached an arm out to Kala. She was reluctant to approach.
"C'mon, you're with me. We're taking the express lane." Heathcliff said, stepping over to Kala and putting his arm around her waist. Rias waved as Heathcliff shot a web at the top of the school with his free hand and pulled.
"Wait! What!?" Kala exclaimed as Heathcliff pulled them into the air. He landed on the side of the building and pulled Kala closer to his side, as not to drop her.
"I know you can probably fly, being like that other woman who did kill me, technically, but you're my responsibility now. So you're building hopping with me." Heathcliff explained as he walked up the side of the school. Kala put her arms around his neck and held onto him tightly, making Heathcliff slightly uncomfortable. He wouldn't protest, though, because her breasts on his side were a nice bonus.
"What are you?" Kala asked, looking at him incredulously. Heathcliff chuckled and licked his finger. His spit set ablaze, but it did not harm him.
"A symbiotic being." Heathcliff answered as he crossed the edge of the roof and stopped when they were standing upright. Kala nodded, but continued to grip Heathcliff tightly.
"Now, which building is closest?" Heathcliff wondered. He scanned the area, noting how the school had very few buildings as tall, or taller, near it. He spotted a tall building about a block away and considered his options.
Well, Kala is relatively light, though her tits are huge and heavy. I'm about… a hundred kilos. My web will hold, but I don't know if it will shoot that far… Might as well try. Heathcliff thought, walking to the edge of the school roof and reaching his arm as far as he could he fired off a web. It crested for a good distance before starting to fall. Heathcliff grunted in annoyance.
"Looks like your… goo… doesn't have enough power. Have you tried to magically enhance it? I use some magic to help me throw spears." Kala said, looking into Heathcliff's eyes and getting extremely close to his face. Heathcliff shook his head.
"No, didn't think I could do that. Kiva, pal. What do you think? Heathcliff finished his thought internally. He heard a hum.
[Should work. Do what you did for the obsidian sword. You know.] Kiva advised. Heathcliff nodded to himself, looking at his inner wrist. He glanced at Kala, noting how she smiled and then batted her eyelashes at him.
What the fuck was that about? Alright, whatever… Magic enhance, eh? Heathcliff thought as he focused his senses. He could feel Kala's heart against his side, and her hand as it traced the muscle contour of his neck. He also felt his magic, it flowed and stayed within him. He pushed it to his hands, and grasped at his power. He aimed, and fired a web. It shook him as though he fired a shotgun, making him stumbled back slightly. But he was amazed as the web flew across the open plain, and stuck on top of the building he was aiming for.
"Huh. That worked. Alright, get on my back and don't strangle me." Heathcliff said, pushing Kala around him. She giggled and hopped onto his back, tightly wrapping her long legs around his waist.
"Of course. I won't strangle you, unless you want me to…" Kala said suggestively. Heathcliff blinked in confusion, and glanced back at her.
"What? What the fuck? Why would I want to be-?" Heathcliff cut off when his mind caught on to the suggestive message. He shook his head and sighed.
Oh God, no. I'm not into not breathing. Alright, let's go. Heathcliff thought as Kala squeezed his waist. He chuckled and leapt off the building, making Kala yelp as he coasted down, gripping his web with both hands. The connection of the web to the other building pulled him up, keeping him from crashing into the ground as he swung them into the air with ease. He went back up, and landed feet first on the building with Kala burying her face in his shoulder. He chuckled again and started running. He reached the edge of the building and jumped, landing on the building just next door.
"You're alright. I'm taking all the impact and I know where to go." Heathcliff said as he jumped to the next building. Kala lifted her head, noticing how fast he moved even with her on him.
"Wow, am I even slowing you down?" Kala wondered. Heathcliff chuckled, and was thankful she couldn't see him blush.
"You aren't, but it's hard to focus with you on my back." Heathcliff said, his increased senses allowed him to feel everything. Even how Kala's soft breasts grew a small, hard bud on each as he ran through the cool night. This feeling indicated the fact that she was not wearing a bra.
Jesus Christ, how are her tits not sagging so much!? HOW!? They're almost as big as Akeno's! FUCK! Heathcliff thought anxiously. Kala caught onto what his phrasing referred to and pressed herself against him, running her hand across his chest.
"Well, you see Heathcliff… Fallen Angels are meant to be extremely… erotic creatures. So, I don't blame you for feeling as you do. Blame us as a species, but try not to hate us. The only reason I'm working for Kokabiel is because he'd kill me otherwise, though I don't think he knows I was captured. But I'm sure he'd be wary to approach a wild beast like you who's guarding me." Kala explained, placing a kiss on Heathcliff's neck. He shivered, not due to the cold air. Kala giggled, being able to feel his muscles ripple. She kissed his neck again, and Heathcliff skidded to a stop atop a house's roof.
"O-Okay… I don't know why you're acting like this… but stop. I'm trying to have a relationship with the one girl you saw. So, please don't… uh, just stop." Heathcliff said, turning to glance at Kala. She pouted at him.
"Aw, come on. Which one? The redhead? The tall one? C'mon, I can do twice as well as either of them have. I'm a few years older, yeah, but I've got something they don't have…" Kala said, she didn't seem to heed Heathcliff's words and kissed his neck again. This time, though, Kala left her mouth on his neck, sucking and biting his skin. Heathcliff sucked in a quick breath, feeling his knees buckle. He dropped down to one knee, shivering in pleasure and groaning as Kala continued her ministrations.
H-HOLY FUCK! Okay! This needs to stop! Now! I-I have a girlfriend! Heathcliff exclaimed in thought. He managed to grab Kala and easily pulled her off of his back. She yelped in surprise as he set her down in front of him.
"Blades of Hell Spawn." Heathcliff said. A blade of obsidian jutted from each of his wrists and he held them up, making Kala cringe back.
"Stop. Now. I don't know what you're trying to do… Actually I do, but I don't know if you're intentions are good or not. So stop. Now. Right this moment." Heathcliff demanded seriously. Kala nodded at him, but she lowered her head and put her hands in front of her which simultaneously pushed her breasts forward.
"Okay… I'm sorry… But I'm not trying to be bad. Well, I am, but not evil bad, just bad. You know, naughty. It's in my blood. Kind of." Kala explained, fidgeting slightly. Heathcliff shook his head and his blades vanished into his wrists.
"Whatever. Just stop. I'm feeling like a dingo in traffic and I'm not liking it. Fuck, I need a beer… And none of that American piss water that Zeb brought down to Australia… Yuengling or whatever." Heathcliff muttered as he walked over to the edge of the rooftop. Kala slowly followed him and he crouched down, pointing to a house several blocks down.
"I'm just up the road. Let's go." Heathcliff said as he put his arm around Kala's waist. She held onto him again and he jumped to the next rooftop, continuing towards his house.
"Welcome to my humble abode. Don't break anything. You can stay in the guest room. Stay here." Heathcliff said, closing the door on the guest bedroom next to his in his house. He turned and headed down the staircase where he made his way into the living room. Rias was sitting on the couch with a cup of tea. Heathcliff's mother walked in from the kitchen and smiled when she saw her son.
"Heath! I was just speaking with Rias here! She's such a sweetheart and is she sounds like a good friend to you! She was just explaining how her father is the chairman of the school board and actually wants to invite us over for dinner some time! Oh, I could go on!" Heathcliff's mother exclaimed, kissing her son's cheek after much effort to reach his face. Rias laughed, sipping on her tea as Heathcliff sat on the arm of the chair his mother sat in.
"Caroline explained how she's been trying to keep up since you moved from Australia. Sounds like you guys have had it rough. I've just been waiting to meet Mister King since I've heard so much about how he's influenced you." Rias said, smiling warmly. Heathcliff glanced at her, and felt his heart sink. Caroline started to slump in her seat, and Rias noticed the difference in their demeanor. She set her tea on the coffee table, and Heathcliff sighed. He gripped his mother's shoulder and she held his hand.
"Rias, James King, my father, died last year in a car accident. God called, and Pop answered." Heathcliff explained solemnly. Rias stared at him in shock. She stood up and walked over, kneeling down in front of Caroline.
"I'm sorry for your loss… He… He sounded like a great man." Rias said, hugging Caroline. Heathcliff stood up and walked over to the doorway, leaning on it heavily. He clenched his fist and cleared his mind. He inhaled a deep breath, noticing a scent wafting down the stairs. He checked his sixth sense. Kala had moved.
"Just like I told her not to… Rias, Mum, I'll be upstairs." Heathcliff said,turning around the corner and leaping up the stairs.
"Ah!" Kala exclaimed in surprise when Heathcliff landed on the ceiling in front of her. He dropped to the ground and stood up with his arms crossed and his eyes narrowed. She smiled sheepishly and waved slightly.
"Hey… Sorry about your dad…" Kala mumbled, fidgeting under Heathcliff's gaze. He sighed, losing his ominous presence and annoyed expression.
"Thanks… But I told you to stay in the room. If you don't listen to me, I think Rias is going to make me execute you, and I don't want to do that. Now then, off to your room. I need to get some shuteye. Be warned, I'll still be watching." Heathcliff said, walking past Kala to his room and heading in. He checked his sixth sense to make sure she was in her room before taking most of his clothes off and collapsing into his bed.
Keep watch little buddy.
[I will, friend. I will.]
The Next Day…
Heathcliff awoke, just as he had that faithful day a whole week ago. Tired, groggy, and unashamed of his annoyance of waking up early. He sat up in bed, but with much effort as his senses came back to him full force and he registered why he needed so much effort.
[Hey Heath, I may have not been paying attention for like, thirty seconds, and uh…] Kiva's voice was lost to Heathcliff as he stared down at the weight on his chest. It was Kala, and she was naked. Also, she was lying on him.
"What the fuck, Kiva!?" Heathcliff hissed, unsure of whether or not he should move Kala. He looked around, noting how the clothes he haphazardly threw off of him were in his hamper and Kala's were folded neatly on his nightstand. His hearing picked up footsteps. His mother was coming.
"Shit!" Heathcliff hissed as Kala kept sleeping on him. He heard Kiva laugh and cursed at him internally. His door clicked as the footsteps stopped.
"Morning Heath! Ah, I see Kala made herself comfortable! Don't worry, Rias explained everything and I got to say, I'm happy to let Kala stay here since Rias said her father would cover her expenses and some of ours to boot! You ought to let more pretty girls stay here, huh!?" Caroline exclaimed in a hush. Heathcliff stared at her in shock, completely confused about why his mother was being so giddy about the situation.
WHAT!? WHAT THE FUCK!? Heathcliff screamed internally. He stayed motionless as he awaited Kala's awakening. His mother just continued to smile, as if her son wasn't being straddled by a woman she barely knew.
"Hi Heath! Sorry I didn't catch you before you knocked out last night! I hope Caroline's told you about Kala's arrangements, right?" Rias asked as she popped into Heathcliff's room behind his mother. Heathcliff blinked at her, unsure of how he missed her entering his home.
Oh yeah, cause I'm distracted by the NAKED WOMAN ON ME! Heathcliff screamed in his mind. Kala stirred just then, blinking sleep from her eyes and smiling up at Heathcliff.
"Morning, handsome. Oh, morning you guys!" Kala said, sitting up and smiling at Rias and Caroline. She moved her chest off of Heathcliff's, exposing her enormous breasts to the air. Heathcliff sucked in a quick breath, trying his best to not stare. He kept his eyes on his wall and blocked out whatever conversation was happening at the moment.
"Uh, I think Heathcliff has stopped working. Kala, you should get ready for school." Rias said, noticing Heathcliff's lack of responsiveness. Kala nodded, kissing Heathcliff's cheek and getting up.
"Let me know when he recovers." Kala said as she left the room, still nude. Caroline giggled and Rias shook her head, slightly exasperated. After a moment, Heathcliff came back from his extreme focus.
"JESUS CHRIST! WHAT THE HELL!?" Heathcliff swore as he jumped out of bed.
"Heathcliff Robert King!" Caroline shouted. Heathcliff settled down and bowed his head.
"Sorry, mum… But seriously! What the hell?" Heathcliff asked, leaning on his bedframe. Rias giggled and walked over, picking Kala's clothes up off his nightstand.
"She's staying here. She's agreed to go to school here and has sworn not to betray us or flee from us." Rias whispered. Heathcliff nodded, but she still left him slightly confused. The look in her eyes was one he picked up on.
I suppose she'll explain more, later, without Mum here. Alright… alright, I'm going to get a shower. I'll see you later, Rias." Heathcliff said as he gathered his school clothes and headed for the bathroom. He sighed, closing the door and leaning on it.
Dear Lord what have I gotten in- ouch… Why did my head suddenly start hurting? Heathcliff thought, rubbing his head. With another sigh he took his underwear and t-shirt off, hopping into the shower.
Fuckin' hell, Kiva… You could've woke me up. Heathcliff thought as he let the hot water rush over him. His companion chuckled in his mind, but gave no answer. Heathcliff sighed, annoyed that the alien didn't answer him. He decided to ignore it and focused on his senses and his shower. He needed practice with focusing his enhanced Presence Sense.
What is Kala doing? Heathcliff wondered as he noticed the bathroom door opening. He turned slightly to see the door slide open and Kala walked in, still naked.
"Good God, woman! What are you doing!?" Heathcliff exclaimed, thanking God his waist was still surrounded by a towel. Kala smiled at him as he focused on her eyes. She sauntered over, placing a delicate hand on his shoulder.
"I thought I could… wash your back. Kind of as a thank you for letting me stay here and all…" Kala said suggestively. Heathcliff shook his head and slapped his palm over his face.
"N-No… just… no… I'm fine. Just, wait until I leave the shower." Heathcliff said with exasperation as he sat down on the shower seat. Kala went to move towards him, but he held his hand up indicating he did not want her to move closer.
"Just go, please." Heathcliff stated wearily. He was losing his patience and he didn't like that. Kala sighed, pouted, and then left him alone in the shower.
Oh, God… Oh lord… What the fuck, bro?
