With Azazel out of the way, me and Raynare can now go into further details with what had happened to her in the past. Though, looking at Raynare, she did look depressed looking back at those memories that have haunted and scarred her. We began talking about the angel that has tricked and used her to his purposes.

"So… that angel… convinced you that some of the angels were working with the devils…"

Raynare nodded slowly, brings her legs to close her chest and wrapping her arms around them. She then looked up at the sky and composing herself mentally before explaining the situation.

"At that time… Angels, Devils and even Fallen Angels were at an uneasy ceasefire after the Great War… but tensions were strong on all parties… No one would dare imagine that any faction would cooperate with each other… However, there has been many occasions where it did happen… some were trivial and retreated alive… some were traps that butchered so many lives… "

I sighed and leaned my head on a tree, rather understanding the situation based on what I've learned in Religious Studies back at the academy.

"That I can sort of understand. But, what were you sent to do? What happened to the angels that were seen with…"

Raynare quickly faced me with a sombre face, answered my questions before I even finished asking them. Her tone of voice said a lot about her reflection of her actions, full of guilt and anger with a hint of remorse.

"Because of me! I killed them in cold blood!"

I widened my eyes, surprised and taken aback to the fact that Raynare was responsible for the deaths of many angels. To be honest, Raynare would be the last person in my mind, since she was an angel at that time. If anything, I thought that she would be involved of gathering info that would wrongfully incriminate them. Raynare sighed softly and looked down a bit.

"The angel in question showed me their death warrants… With my name on them as the executioner… those were not to be ignored… he even showed me the 'evidence' implicating them, convincing me that they were a threat to u… to the angels…"

I sighed and rubbed her shoulder gently, comforting her, easing her frustration and anger of herself and the angel. She continued to explain her situation to me, even to the point where the 'evidence' the angel showed her, were nothing more but twisted lies.

"When I was on trial for the executions of those angels, the real evidence came to light. Those angels that I've slain… were either exchanging information, observing persons of interests, or part of the peacekeeping forces…"

Now that leaves another subject on the matter, what about the angel? Was he ever tried, and more importantly, what happened to him?

After asking those questions, Raynare growled a bit, giving me a hint that what he did was the straw that broke the camel's back.

"He turned his back on me!... He denied everything… He even claimed to be a 'witness' and tried to stop me… He branded me as a liar, a murderer, a traitor... so did everyone else…"

Those words turned on her waterworks once more, breaking her heart, feelings of betrayal were more and more evident every second. I couldn't bare to see her like this, I embraced her tightly regardless of her naked form and rubbed her back, attempting to heal her aching heart.

"It's okay… It's all in the past… You don't have to go through it again… I'm sure if you explain this to Michael, maybe he might be able to…"

Mentioning Michael's name forced the broken fallen angel to push me aside, even more furious that he was mentioned.

"Don't… you ever… mention his name… again… He didn't save me… I prayed hard for him to save and spare me! But it was all for nothing! He just left me to be judged and fallen!"

I shook my head, didn't want to believe what she said. Besides, why would Azazel mention that Michael tried to save her when Raynare said otherwise. I placed my hand on her shoulder, hoping that she would think twice.

"That can't be true… Azazel said that Michael objected to your trail, even to your banishment! He wouldn't allow it to happen… It's just no way he coul…"

But it was to of no avail, she shook her head and stood up, looking at the sky above.

"Well he did… I was sent down to the Underworld… No one to save me, no one to help me, no one to guide me… I was alone…"

I sighed and looked down at the ground. One, that I felt sorry for her… no one should have to go through what Raynare has gone through. The other, was to avoid glancing her body worthy of a goddess.

"Just… look at me…"

That statement threw me off completely, surely no women would ever want to be seen naked when depressed. I ignored her request, pretending that I didn't hear her words, hear her plea. But she was insistent, she wanted to be looked at.

"Please! Just look at me! Look at what's left of me!"

I sighed and gave in, not wanting to upset her any further. I began to slowly look up from the ground, starting from her 2 feet, to her womanhood, to her frame and her breasts, and finally to her sadden and distraught face. Including her 2 black, but angelic wings.

"Every feather on my wings is a reminder of what I've been reduced to… what I've been through… what they've done to me…"

I just snapped. I got up, ran to her and embraced her completely. Our bodies pressed, one arm wrapped around her waist and back, the other on her hair and rubbed them slowly whilst she broke down once more.

I must be honest, that first time I embraced her, I took no notice of her body. But this time it was different, this time I began to take in her emotions and body mentally and physically, the smooth and soft texture of her skin and hair, along with the distress, sadness and anger she'd gone through. The thought of letting her go, was completely out of the question.

"No more…"

Raynare let out a sharp but silent gasp, couldn't believe what she was hearing from me. She moved back a bit, fearing that I could be using her like many others before me and Azazel. She looked down for a few seconds before looking at me again straight in the eye, showing reluctance of trusting me.

"Raynare… I promise you… me and Azazel will not allow you to go through that again… I mean… you helped me from the start… It's time I began returning the favour…"

She blinked a bit before leaping forward, bursting with emotion, her arms embracing my body for the first time. She was crying once more, this time with feelings of happiness and hoping that everything will be alright from now on.

"Thank you…"

She said softly, showing full gratitude and appreciation of what I would go through to ensure her safety and happiness. I let out a small sigh of relief and displayed a warm smile before embraced her with my own arms.

"It's okay… It's okay… Raynare…"

I slowly rubbed her head and back, calming her and making a physical connection to each other, sealing our trust with each other. But that moment was ruined, thanks to the Great Azazel speaking out what he saw.

"You 2 lovebirds made up?"

We snapped out from our moment and looked at him, part of us were annoyed, but the other was with relief. Raynare and I looked at each other, only to be exchanging rose blushes with it. With that, we let go of each other and stood up from the ground and walked to Azazel.

"It's okay… We… We sort of had a heart to heart moment… I think we are ready to head back home."

Azazel, with a small chuckle, nodded with a slight grin on his face. I gathered my belongings, while Azazel began to summon his circle to take us back to my house, Raynare looked around her surroundings, hoping no one would spot or find us.

However, she must have heard something, her eyes focusing on a set of trees from a few meters from us. She walked a few steps, but no other noise was made, leading her to retreated to us with a little tut. Me and Azazel looked at Raynare with a slight sign of concern, only to be relieved with what she said.

"Might be a bird or something…"

We looked around for a few seconds and shrugged our shoulders, assuming it was a bird. We then gathered together at the circle and teleported to my front door, only to see my parent's car parked near the pavement.

"Oh no… This isn't going to go well…"

Azazel nodded and began walking the other direction, away from the front door, much to my dismay. He even let out a small chuckle, finding the situation amusing.

"Where are you going, Azazel? We still need your help here!"

I said silently, but harshly. Azazel raised his hand and waved it while still letting out his amusing chuckle.

"That doesn't mean I am prepared to help you with your parents, oh well, until next time… And Raynare… Be careful…"

Me and Raynare sighed softly as Azazel was soon far from our sights, leaving us to face the front door and pondering what to do. After a few minutes, I had come up with a plan which would spare Raynare the trouble and putting me on the firing line.

Before we began to enter the house, I gave Raynare my jumper and handed her my bag, hoping that it would least cover most of her body and avoid any suspicions on her part. Besides, if they find out she's been outside in nude, all hell would break loose.

I told her my plan of action, I get inside first, and she'll follow, going upstairs to my room. That'll give her some time to put some clothes on while I'll explain to my parents a situation, that is believable at best, and avoid any embarrassments or suspicions.

On my cue, I opened the door and walked in, Raynare followed and made a dash to my room. My parents then dashed to the hallway, gasped at the sight of me with their crossed their arms with annoyance and disappointment with a hint of concern.

"Where were you, son!? Where have you been at this time of night!?"

"We nearly called the police to search for you! Was it your girlfriend's idea!?"

I took a few deep breaths and placed my hands out, wanting to be heard and be given a chance to 'explain' what happened.

"Okay… Okay… I'm sorry I worried you guys… Me and Ray saw how beautiful the night was and… we thought that we'd go out and went to the park, enjoying the moonlight shining down on the lake…"

Despite what I've told them, they were still worried sick of me, but I don't blame them at all.

"You could've just called or texted us! What if something happened to you?! What if you were taken or worse even!?"

Mother was usually the one that questions about what could've happened, and as usual, I would have no answers to. With that, I looked down and walked to my parents and apologised to them. Fortunately, they've accepted my heartfelt apologies and my mother embraced me in her safe arms, just glad that I'm home safe and sound.

"Just… don't put us through that again… We do worry about you son…"

I nodded and patted my mother's back, showing how sorry I was. After a moment, we both mutually released each other whilst my dad showed a small smile.

"Where's your girlfriend now?"

My dad asked, showing a hint of worry for her safety as well. I nodded with a smile and began making my way upstairs to my room.

"She's in my room, I'll just go and check on her."

I approached my door and gave it a tentative knock on her door, fearing she could still be angry at me, instead was given a positive and sincere response.

"You may come in"

I let out a small sigh of relief and proceeded to open the door, and pleasantly to be greeted by the sight of Raynare in a nightgown. But it slightly surprised me by its appearance, by how it nearly revealed her form and her lingerie decorated with floral patterns.

"Raynare… you… you look amazing in this…"

She showed a small but a very warm smile, showing a true sincere expression. She embraced me once more, really wanting to let out her emotions out again. I smiled and embraced her again, this time, it felt like an eternity. No one to interrupt us, no one to disturb us, no one to stop us from showing our moment together.

Soon, I released Raynare from my embrace and showed a small smile. She does the same reluctantly but did smile back at me.

"This is only the beginning… I just hope we can live and survive through this…"

I declared to us. We know now that Raynare is in a more dangerous position than ever, plus with me on her side, watching each other's back is needed along with Azazel's guidance.

She nodded and walked to the door, and slowly exited my room. I followed beside her with a smile and made our way to my parents. When we arrived, Raynare showed a warm smile and apologised to my parents, to which they've accepted.

My dad began to observe Raynare's beauty, he even nudged my shoulder with a wide and proud smile on his face. I could tell he what he wanted to say, but I decided to let him get it out in the open.

"Son… You have… a gorgeous… and amazing girlfriend… Just don't you lose her"

I let out a small chuckle and shook my head, ensuring him and myself that I would never let Raynare go or even lose her. Soon we began talking, we and did some catching up with my parents, everything was going swimmingly,

After a while, we began to depart from the living room to my bedroom. I allowed Raynare to rest on my bed, while I got out a spare mattress and bedding. I soon got out my uniform, and placed it on my chair, ready to get changed in the morning for another day at the academy.

Soon, I lay on my bed, wrapping myself with my duvet, and slowly drift into a well-deserved sleep. But come next morning, I slowly woken up to a warmth and smooth sensation on my body, soon seeing and discovering that Raynare was cuddling me, her eyes closed and her smile on display.

I let out a small sigh and slowly rubbed her head before getting up, without waking her up. I slowly went downstairs to have my breakfast before preparing myself for a difficult day at the academy. A lot was on my mind now, and it really hit me hard… What would happen to me there? What will Issei and his friends do to me?

I couldn't just sit and hang around though… Doing that would raise further suspicions and would bring unwanted trouble to my parents. With the mental strength I have left in me, I got my bag and left the front door and made my way to the academy, whilst still having fears circulating in my mind.

Soon, all those fears were soon faded away, a familiar voice was ringing in my ears.

"Ej!" ("Hey!")

I shook my head a few times before looking around me, hoping to catch the person that tried to get my attention. After the unsuccessful attempt, I continued to walk to the academy, only to be given another familiar voice.

"Ej! Brate!" ("Hey! Brother!")

This time, I turned to my right and this time caught the person trying to get my attention. I chuckled and patted his shoulder, rather glad to see a friend and 'brother' of mine. His name is Alex, he originally came from the Balkans but moved to Kuoh a year before me. He's upbeat and cool, sometimes competitive and passionate when it comes to sports and his country. He's quite athletic, thanks to his role in the academy's soccer team. Has brown eyes and hair, with hint of lighter shade at top, that spikes at the back and sides, some hanging down at sides of his face.

"Alex! How are you, bro?"

"Better for seeing you mate! We heading to the academy?"

He shook his head with a small grin and took the lead, I was slightly surprised, but decided to follow him. We soon began talking about what we did on the day of the teacher's strike.

"So, what you've done yesterday, bro?"

Alex responded with a small and warm smile, seeming like he enjoyed his day off.

"Eh, practiced soccer at the park yesterday, just focusing on shooting at the goal. At night, I went on a date with my girlfriend again, we went to a restaurant and had dinner... Now that you've mentioned it… We're heading to her house and walk to the academy together."

I wasn't really surprised, he has been with his girlfriend for nearly a year.

"Speaking of which… got a girl of your life yet?"

I stood for a bit, thinking what to do. I shook my head for a moment, which prompted Alex a small laughter.

"Seriously… Bro… you need… to find… a girlfriend!"

I laughed with him, taking his combination of humour and command lightly. It was the only thing I could do to avoid compromising Raynare's safety.

"C'mon, I could help ya out if you need it"

I shook my head politely, considering that I need more help with my body and the power surging inside me before using it. Soon, we went to his girlfriend's front door and Alex knocked on her door.

After a minute or two, his girlfriend made an appearance, in her uniform, with a calm, but also warm expression on her face as she focused on her boyfriend while her normally calm and somewhat cold eyes started to shine with love.

"Alex, my love."

His girlfriend is Kagura Mikazuchi. She's one of the most beautiful and elegant students of the academy, all thanks to her slim and busty figure and her long, beautiful, purple-black hair that only made her appearance even more exotic, that she was even given the title of 'Princess of the Kuoh'. She is part of the Kendo Club and is considered one of the masters with a monarch title 'Queen of Swords', based on her ability and skill on wielding a shinai that was unparallel, that even best of Kendo fighters couldn't even make a blow on her.

While she was unreachable to almost anyone, only a select few could approach her. I was one of the lucky ones, thanks to Alex that ensured her that I'm not on to take advantage of ladies, as well as a 'brother' of his.

"Morning, Kagura, my princess"

Alex replied, in a rather soft and warm tone, that would melt even the coldest of girl's heart. Kagura showed a rather small, but a rare smile on her face, which prompted Alex to smile in return. Soon, Kagura met her eyes with mine and exchange our pleasantries.

"We're just about to head to the academy, wanna join us?"

Alex made his offer to his princess, which she nodded and joined us as we finally embarked on our journey to the academy. Whilst me and Alex were unarmed, Kagura has her Shinai in hand, ready to use on anyone that would stand in our way.

"Alex… I have been meaning to ask you this… why does she always carry a Shinai with her?"

Kagura turned her head slightly, giving me her slight attention.

"The reason being is that you never know when someone ambushes you, it's always best to be prepared…"

I froze up for a bit, slightly scared by her words spoken in a calm tone. Which no doubt, the way she holds her Shinai, would scare any inexperienced fighter. Alex, however, chuckled a bit, looking unfazed by her choice of words.

"Now you know why, bro. Just consider that as a warning."

Soon we arrived at the academy, and fortunately for me, there was no sight of Issei, Asia and the crimson haired devil. Once we've passed through the gates and the doors of the academy, we've soon went our separate ways and made our way to our respective classes and start another day in the academy.

(3rd Person View)

As Alex and Kagura began walking to their room, they made sure that the coast was clear, and began conferring what they've felt around their friend.

"Alex… I've felt it… His body is somehow different compared to our last encounter…"

Kagura stated it calmly, but rather with intrigue, curious even how it could've happened. Alex nodded and saw his ring glowing in bright gold, it even gave an input of the situation it felt around his host's friend.

"Your friend sure has a different aura around him… Something that is not common… Something that I haven't felt before…it will be rather interesting to see what will happen next, don't you agree Alex?"

Alex nodded and looked at his ring, rather looking calm but slightly serious. When it comes to his friends and family, even those he would consider as his family, Alex would sure want to take this to the next step and find out what's going on.

"Mmm… I noticed it too Orao… We need to report this as soon as possible… He'll decide what to do next… I just hope that it isn't something that we can't handle… The last thing we want is another disaster to happen… Would be rather troublesome if the White-one and 'HIM' to show up with the Red one and us here..."

Alex concluded which brought a nod from Kagura, while Orao just shined a bit in an agreement with his host before the couple entered their classroom as if nothing has happened.

And that's it! Plus we've got 3 new characters, Alex (A fellow author and 'brother' of mine, Slavic Warrior (Be sure to read his stories!)), Orao and Kagura Mikazuchi from Fairy Tail! This is their debuts and will play a part as the story develops!

I've decided to add the 3rd person view to leave a little cliffhanger... Who are they going to report to? and who is 'HIM'?... Well... I'm going to keep you guys in suspense...

Note: 'Orao' is based on the Serbian Eagle.
