Judan: Sorry that this took awhile we had… complications.
Shadow: Yes now don't we all hate those. Oh well can't change the past!
Slayer: Why is it that you two are always so cheerful about that kind of stuff?
Judan: You mean why is Shadow always so happy right? Because I hate that kind of stuff!
Rodrick: Yeah but please calm down, we have an interesting chapter ahead.
Shadow: Hate to be the dead horse but all of our chapters are "interesting". At least in some way or another.
Modaga: Why do you always have to be so un-youthful?
Shadow: Meh it's in my nature I guess.
Slayer: When did we start accepting Modaga's tendencies anyway?
Rodrick: When we learned that there's no cure.
Slayer: Oh yeah how silly of me to forget…
Shadow: Okay so let's move onto reviews. First RedBurningDragon. While your ideas have merit we try to come up with ideas on our own. Well as much as possible, but seeing how some of the abilities and moves you mentioned were interesting, we'll see about some of them.
Slayer: Also there have been slight references made to dark souls already. Although we won't be using anyone who is already dead, so no Artorias, Sif, or Manus. Because as stated Manus was already killed a while ago. I mean at least in the time line… huh maybe I should make a legend story about that when I'm done with the rest of the main characters…
Judan: We have enough to deal with already, so that won't be for a while. Anyways I think that's it… I'm not sure I'll have to check.
Slayer: You're finishing this without checking if we have more reviews or not?
Modaga: That doesn't sound very youthful…
Judan: Meh we'll be fine… I hope…
Rodrick: That doesn't sound very reassuring but okay. So who wants to finish this time around? Well since we don't have any guests up here this time.
Judan: Might as well it's been a while, ahem… We here at the Dark Guard productions own nothing but OC's and reality building concepts. Everything else belongs to their respective owners. Now without further ado…

Chapter Fourteen: Kuros is useless much like Exorcists.
The Void king
"Argh! By the void why is there so much blood?!" As I listened to Kuros' screams I did my best to actually help out Masamune. Well me, Ophis, and my mother that is. Trust me it was quite the shock to hear Kuros scream "The baby's coming!" in my head like he did. But thankfully Ophis still liked Masamune and decided to help. My mother came with us when I told everyone about what was happening.
I'm pretty sure we would've messed something up by now if it wasn't for her. Still Masarune was born without complications. Although Kuros was absolutely worthless. Turns out he really didn't have any experience with this. Although me and Ophis didn't either and yet we were more help. Then again I guess that's just how he is. Still looking at my "niece" I couldn't help but smile.
Her skin was as pale as Masamune's, and she had a puff of white hair on her head. However from the few times I saw her eyes I could see that they were like Kuros'. Her left was blue and her right was red. However both eyes had normal sclera.
She is absolutely adorable! All of us except Kuros, who was off to the side freaking out, were around the bed Masamune conjured up in my mind. She herself however looked extremely exhausted. Not that I blame her of course! My pseudo big sister had just given birth after all. Still as we watched Masarune sleep peacefully in her mother's arms, I couldn't help but look at Ophis. In her eyes was a look of understanding and peace. She then spoke softly trying not to wake up the newborn.
"Is it always like this?" At her question we all looked at her before she elaborated. "I mean is it always so hectic, painful, and then just calm? I can just feel the emotions of happiness, peace, and love coming from you Mune. And it… well it makes me wonder if I'll be like this… if my own mother was like this." At this my mother and Masamune looked each other in the eye, before my mother turned back to speak to her.
"While we can't speak for everyone, seeing how some circumstances can make this a rather daunting process for some. And some people are just plain horrible let's just admit to that. But I can say that I felt the same way when I had Kunou. And I'm sure your mother felt the same way as well. After all that useless Kuros did say that your mother paraded you around, bragging about how adorable and awesome you were." Ophis blushed making me chuckle as I wrapped my left arm around her.
I then spoke with a smile on my face. "Don't worry Ophi Chan I know that you'll make a wonderful mother." She looked at me with a bright smile before leaning her head against me. That was when Masamune spoke.
"That is something we all can agree on. And not just you, I'll say that about all of you. But right now this little one right here… she'll be my greatest pride and joy I just know it!~ In fact I do believe she'll be much stronger than me, and not just physically. But also in heart and mind, although she'll probably be just as good looking as I am." We all gave a tiny laugh at that before becoming silent again. It was then that Kuros approached us in his human form.
Now while his eyes were the same, he also had black hair with a patch of white in the middle of his head. It was also medium in length and slightly spiky on the ends. He was also tall, as in six foot seven. However he wasn't muscular as Red, although he did have muscle. No his was more of a quick fighters build. He also wore a white long-sleeved v-neck shirt and a black trench coat over it. He then wore black pants, and black leather boots with white soles. Then finally he wore two white leather gloves.
As he approached Ophis scooted away from him and hid behind me slightly. However if he noticed Kuros didn't care, because he was right up to Masamune and his new daughter. Looking down at them there was a light smile on his face. Then reaching down he gently rubbed Masarune's head. He then spoke in a highly emotional voice.
"I never thought that I'd actually get to see a day like this. You see I unfortunately wasn't around when Tsuyara was born. No I was helping the god of the bible deal with a… threat back then. So this… this is different. It also makes me feel bad that I wasn't there for her birth. Still I can already tell that Rune will be just as beautiful as her mother." Masamune actually blushed a bit at that but still nodded her head.
Seeing this Ophis who looked apprehensive at his presence relaxed. "While I may still be angry with you old man, I can't deny that I'm happy for you and Mune." Turning to her Kuros nodded his head before speaking.
"I understand. And truly… I don't expect you to ever forgive me for what I've done. Which is in reality nothing but the whole notion-" Luckily before he could really start on his triad Masamune interrupted him.
"I think she gets it dear. Now then why don't you go back out and tell everyone the good news? I'm sure they are all quite curious of the outcome." At that we all said out goodbyes and exited my "mind". Once out we looked around before explaining what happened. Needless to say everyone was quite happy for them, even if our closest friends were still kind of angry with the void dragon.
After that it was time to finally pack up and head out. And now that we're all recharged we can tackle our problems head on! Smiling at that thought I grabbed all my princesses in one large hug before kissing them all. At my actions they all giggled but didn't push me away.
"Kaichou has truly been taken…" At Saji's comment I got a little annoyed but decided to ignore it for the time being. Then with one final farewell to my mother and teary eyed little sister, we left to get back to the day to day ridiculousness. If only I knew just how ridiculous some things could get. Then I'd probably have stayed just a bit longer.
Kukuku hello I'm the crazy eyed line break.
"So that's why I'm here. I just hope I didn't come at a bad time." Across from me sat my good friend Allen Walker, along with Asia who let him in. Apparently he arrived a day ago but we weren't here. So he stayed in a hotel and came by again today.
His reason actually surprised me, because he wanted to join my peerage. Now don't get me wrong I was happy to have him onboard. Mostly because he was strong and a good guy, but also because the girls in our group of friends almost outnumber the guys four to one.
[Talk about an imbalance of gender.] Though I agreed with Kuros I was more or less giving Allen a critical stare. I then spoke in a calm and serious tone.
"You do realize there is no coming back right? Plus you will be my last knight when all this is said and done. So are you quite sure about this?" After a few seconds Allen answered me with that smile of his.
"Yeah I realize that but at least this way I'll be with friends; I'll get away from the church, and most importantly get away from my master." I couldn't really argue with him on those points. Trust me his master is crazy! In fact I'm actually surprised that Allen actually survived his training… if it could be called that… Really based on what I heard his master just used him to pay off his debts. Among other things…
Still with a smile of my own, I got out my chess piece case and took out my last knight. Although for a second I hesitated. The reason was that Lefay was still human. Albeit a witch, which means her life span was at least tripled with how strong she was. But still… I wanted to spend an even longer time with her. But I knew this piece wouldn't suit her very well. If anything a rook, pawn, or bishop would be best. So with a shake of my head I stood up, and motioned for my old friend to stand up with me.
It was then that I recited what I did with Vali and all the others, and my piece was absorbed into him. Then he fainted straight away as the piece went to work. Seeing this I shook my head, because his head somehow landed on Asia's lap and she let out an eep of surprise. However despite blushing she didn't make any attempts to move him. Seeing this I got an idea.
"So as expected he fell asleep. Can you be a dear and take him to his new room after he wakes up Asia, thanks you're a great help." And with that I left her as she stammered some unintelligible words. I myself couldn't help but laugh when I was halfway up the stairs. Because what can I say? They make an interesting couple if I do say so myself. Once upstairs I made my way to the communications room, just to see what I may have missed while being away.
When I entered I quickly looked at the phones and winced. Both the phones for the Grigori and Heaven were filled up on messages. So deciding to deal with my soon to be father in law… and awkward eventual brother in law I called Azazel back first.
I had to quickly pull the phone away from my ear. "THERE YOU ARE! WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN YOU BRAT?!" Sighing I answered him calmly.
"Listen I'm sorry, but I needed to take us all out on a short vacation. I would've invited you but it seems you were busy each time I called. Oh yeah Kunou says hello." That actually got him to calm down a bit as he talked normally again.
"Let me guess… you just needed to get away from what happened at the rating game right? Also thanks for telling me about Kunou. That adorable little fox is just too cute sometimes." Though he was saying that in a completely platonic way, I couldn't help but feel a bit irritated for calling my sister cute. Still I answered his question without sounding annoyed.
"Yeah everyone was in horrible condition, well at least emotionally. Especially poor Ravel, she was completely distraught. Also Ophis apparently was getting back into her prank fueled depression mode. You know like before when she pulled pranks on the gods?" I actually heard Azazel choke on his spit when I mentioned that little tidbit. Still I carried on like I didn't notice. "Anyway we're all better now… well mostly. But it's the best we can do, so anyway what was so urgent that you called me a brat?"
A second later he cleared his throat and spoke. "Well Kokabiel has gone completely nuts! Apparently he not only joined Xilo's gang but also stole three of the Excalibur's! He's in Kouh somewhere and is planning on not only killing you, but also your two heiress friends!" That got me to actually stop breathing for a second as I processed what he said. After a moment he spoke again. "Um are you still there?" I was but I had just suddenly added someone to the top of my kill list. After all… one of those heiresses… is one of my princesses.
So when I finally spoke again it was with cold anger. "So he thinks he can just kill them… just kill one of my future wives eh? Well don't worry about a thing Azazel I'll make sure to send him back to you in pieces." With that I was about to hang up when Azazel spoke again.
"Well that's great and all… but I think I'll send over three of my guys to help you out. Not that you need it, but I need to at least do something about the situation. Anyways if you need anything else just call Ciao!~" And with that he hung up before I could ask him who he was sending. Though I did have a pretty good idea about who he was sending my way. Still with a sigh I decided to call Michael back to see what he wanted.
So with a quick dial he answered. "Ah! Good to finally hear back from you. Though I heard from one of my subordinates that you were on vacation." I couldn't help but raise and eyebrow while questioning him about that.
"What do you mean by that? Allen doesn't work with you anymore, not that he hates you of course. He just doesn't like the way the church handles things." I heard him sigh before speaking again only this time in a tired tone.
"Please don't mention him right now. While I also like him he's been a rather big headache. Mostly because Gabriel keeps whining for him to come back to her. Really if I didn't know any better I'd say she has an actual crush on him. But we both know how she is…" I gave an involuntary nod at that while he continued. "Anyway I was actually talking about the two exorcists' I sent there to help with a… problem we're dealing with." At that I quickly spoke up.
"You mean Kokabiel and the stolen Excalibur's? Yeah Azazel already told me, so if you need my help just ask." I heard him give out a sigh of relief before speaking again.
"Oh good… for a second I'd thought I'd have to explain the embarrassment myself. I mean really! These are sacred relics! So how in my father's name, did Kokabiel manage to steal them without anyone noticing for this long?!" That… was actually a pretty good question. My theory is that he has a few traitors, but knowing Michael he probably did not want to hear that. Especially since right now he needs all the followers he can get. Mostly thanks to the god of the bibles death.
So with a calm voice I started speaking again. "Personally I don't know for sure, but I have my theories. I'm sure Azazel will let you know after we interrogate the rogue fallen. Anyways who exactly did you send to help us out? And where exactly are we meeting them?"
After a moment of thought he answered my question. "They're Irina Shidou and Xenovia Quarta. As for the meeting point, that will be where Sirzechs' little sister usually meets with her "club". Also they reported that they were going to try and meet with her this afternoon. And seeing what time it is in the human world right now… I'd suggest you get a move on. Also I'm counting on your help here, please make sure they survive." I smiled for a moment before answering.
"You don't have to worry about that, I make it my personal duty to make sure everyone under my charge survives. I'll call you again if anything happens. Until then god be with you."
There was a pause before he spoke again. "I don't appreciate that very much, still good luck and goodbye." After he hung up I couldn't help but slap my forehead. I mean really! How insensitive could I get! Still with a sigh I got up and left the room to go talk to Sona. Because as one of those being targeted, she really needed to know what was going on. Plus I needed to give her some protection.
"Ro Kun!" Speaking of the devil… as I was walking down the stairs Sona ran into me as she ran up them. Thankfully I caught her before she fell backwards. Looking up at me she blushed sheepishly before speaking. "Sorry about that I was just in a hurry." Nodding my head I kissed her forehead before speaking myself.
"Don't worry about it So Chan. Besides I needed to talk to you as well. But seeing how you are in more of a hurry, how about you go first." Nodding her head she took a deep breath before speaking.
"I just got a call from Rias saying that two exorcists are in her club room. Apparently they were asked to meet with not only her, but me and you as well. She also said that one of them was getting really impatient." I nodded my head before taking her hand and started leading her down the stairs.
I then spoke with a little bit of worry. "To be honest I already know why they're here. You see I just talked to Azazel and Michael. Apparently Kokabiel has gone off the deep end and has joined Xilo. He then stole three Excalibur's and has come here to kill me, Rias, and you." Looking back to her I saw that Sona had an expression of shock.
After a bit she finally spoke again, but now she was really worried. "If Kokabiel is here… and he's with some of Xilo's men… then what are we going to do? We barely made it by last time, and even then we had a lot more help. Especially from Hunter San, but like he said he can't interfere again. So how will we win this time?" Pausing in my steps I turned around and hugged her softly while gently rubbing her head.
Then before she could question me I spoke. "Don't worry Sona, I promise I won't let anyone die this time. So just have a little faith in me alright?" Looking at me she nodded her head slightly. Now I knew why she was so worried, last time we dealt with Xilo's men they not only killed Riser, but also his father, Rias' father, and almost all the devil clans that could use fire. My theory was that fire was actually a big weakness for him, or more specifically his undead army.
Still why they are doing something like this is a big unknown. Because right now almost all the factions are at least weary of him. So it's not like this was going to restart the faction war, especially since both Michael and Azazel know that Kokabiel joined Xilo.
No there has to be another reason! At that I shook my head and led Sona to the living room. There everyone was talking, and getting to know Allen who had just recently woken up. Although… Asia was still blushing a bit. Plus it would seem as if she didn't lead him up to his room like I "suggested", but I guess this did make things a bit easier. Plus I couldn't help but smirk as Ravel and Chirno sat on Issei's lap.
Shaking those thoughts from my head I spoke up. "Alright listen up everyone I just talked to both Azazel and Michael. Apparently we have a new situation here that needs to be dealt with. And by that I mean as brutally and efficiently as possible." At my words everyone turned to me as I explained the situation. Although Issei did interrupt me when I mentioned the two Exorcists.
"Hey I think I might know one of them!" Looking at him he elaborated. "Well you see a long time ago I had a friend named Irina Shidou, but he moved away to the Vatican with his family. Now it kind of makes sense as to why they did that." I couldn't help but hum in thought at that before finishing my explanation. To say everyone was upset was an understatement.
Vali was the first to voice her displeasure. "Humph! I remember old coca but well, he was always saying how superior the fallen angels were. And how if the war continued they would've been the victors and blah blah blah. Really he could go on and on about that. And oh boy did he never stop giving dad a hard time about that. One of the best times of my life was when you put him in his place Ro Kun." At that everyone turned to me while I coughed into my hand.
"Well… he did insult not only Vali, but Lefay, Mittelt, and Ophis as well. Plus he was annoying in general and always tried to prove that he was better than me. Apparently he didn't like that a "human", was gaining such prestige in the Grigori." Everyone made and ah sound, but before we could continue the doorbell rang. Sighing I quickly went to get it and instantly felt who was on the other side. So I was quite prepared for the shouts of admiration as I opened it.
"""Booker Sama!""" Standing there in new clothing was Raynare, Kalawarner, and Freed. And when I say new… I mean new thank the Void! Now instead of wearing tight leather bandages. Now Raynare was wearing a Short black skirt with frills and a black tight turtle neck sweater. She was also wearing fishnet tights, although she still had on her black high heeled boots.
Kalawarner was still wearing a trench coat top, but now it was more modest and actually managed to close around her chest. She was also wearing a medium length skirt. However the color of the outfit was the same as before, plus she still wore the same shoes.
Freed himself now wore a black long coat that was opened in the front. This showed off his grey button up shirt. Although he had the top button undone, he was also wearing black slacks and black combat boots. Altogether I had to say I liked their new looks, but I still say Kalawarner's chest was quite excessive. Still I only sighed and yelled back to everyone in the house.
"Okay as explained I want Issei, Chirno, Ravel, Sona, Shirone, Lefay, Allen, and Asia to come with me. Everyone else start looking for anything suspicious. IF you find anything contact us, but do not engage unless absolutely necessary." I got an affirmative as all those I mentioned came to the door and followed me out. Needless to say the three Grigori members didn't like being ignored. Although I spoke to them before they could complain. "Are you three coming or what?" Smiling at me the nodded before following us.
Now some of you might be wondering about my choices in companions. Well I will say it was part practical and part paranoia. For example Sona needs to be there so of course I'd bring her. Issei also seemed to know one of them so I brought him along. Allen was also once an exorcist so I brought him, and I also brought Asia because she was also once part of the church. As for the others… well I was worried about them plain and simple. Not to say I wasn't worried about Sona and Asia.
But… well Ophis, Lefay, and Ravel have been targets in the past. So I want to be near them so I can protect them, it was the same with Shirone to be honest. Now I didn't ask for Vali and Ophis because truthfully… I teamed them up with Mittelt and Red. This means I know they'll be safe, but really if I could I'd ask all of my princesses to stay close to me. But unfortunately that isn't practical. Now as for Chirno… well she really didn't want to part from Issei. So who was I to say no?
Still that meant I was bringing twelve including me to Rias' clubroom. Which means it will be quite crowded.
Kukuku hello I'm the crazy eyed line break.
The Red Emperor
Now I didn't know what to really expect from my old friend when we arrived. However what I never guessed to learn was that Irina was actually a girl the whole time! Not to mention she turned out quite beautiful as well.
No bad Issei! You already have Ravel and Chirno; focus on them before going after anyone else. So after mentally slapping myself, we all situated ourselves kind of awkwardly. I mean we did bring in twelve people after all. Although there were some positions that made it easier for all of us. Like Ko- sorry Shirone, Lefay, and Sona somehow all managed to sit on Rodrick's lap. And then Ravel and Chirno sat on mine. Although for some reason they kept on glaring at Irina…
{Again… dense as a brick!} Deciding to ignore Ddraig I went back to paying attention to the conversation at hand. Although Xenovia… Irina's blue haired partner was being quite rude. Plus Kiba was looking like he was going to kill them.
"This is why we demand that you don't interfere in this mess. It is church business after all. Plus I can already see some members of the Grigori here. So who can say that you won't join up with Kokabiel?" For some reason that really ticked off Rodrick as he snapped at her.
"I can say we won't because he has joined up with a common enemy we all hate. Plus I had already agreed to help Michael and Azazel out with this mess. So if you have a problem with it… then you take it up with your boss."
At his words Xenovia snorted before retorting. "Strong words coming from a small man being used as a pillow." I really couldn't help but agree with her on that one. I mean I was in the same position, but I wasn't the one trying to sound tough right now. Plus Rodrick was a bit on the short side, however Sona did actually stand up to his defense.
"Be that as it may he is quite comfortable." Well sort of at least. "But I won't let you insult him like that. Plus what he says is true, so you either have to work with us… or leave. And I'm sure your superiors will be ecstatic to hear that you left, but only because you couldn't work with us." Xenovia grit her teeth as she glared at Sona. Luckily before anything else could happen Irina stepped in.
"Come now Xenovia we were told to cooperate with them. Or at the very least let them do their own investigation. Besides we're the ones with Excalibur's so we are the only ones that can win."
Surprisingly Allen actually snorted before speaking. "Now that's a lie and a half. Sorry but a broken Excalibur isn't going to help against Kokabiel. Against another human using one maybe, but not a cadre fallen." At his words Irina looked upset while Xenovia glared at him.
Although after a moment she seemed to recognize him. "Wait a minute… aren't you Allen Walker?" Allen just nodded his head while Xenovia huffed in disappointment. "Wow first you leave the church and now you come here. Not only that but you're fraternizing with devils, fallen's, dragons, and… witches." She said that last part while glaring at Asia. In fact that really upset the former nun.
Seeing this Allen stood up with an angry expression. "And you're exactly why I left! Sure there were some exorcists' I could get along with. Such as Dulio and Griselda, but most of them were like you! Misinformed bigots, that can't see the truth right in front of them, all the while hiding behind their own version of doctrine. And let me tell you Xenovia… you hypercritical attitude does you no service. No all it does is make you a hypocrite. "
At his words we all couldn't help but stare at him. Really it was if he was a completely different person right now. Although Asia was looking at him with stars in her eyes.
{I think those two should just kiss or something.} Inwardly agreeing with Ddraig I turned to Xenovia who looked ready to burst a gasket.
"Is it safe to say your opinion covers the whole church?" Allen nodded his head, and then Xenovia took a large golden broadsword out of her cloak and pointed it at him. "If that's the case… it would be safe to also assume that you're enemy to the church, and as such I should cut you down." Allen was now looking at the tip of the sword cross-eyed because of how close it was.
Thankfully Irina intervened again. "Um… Xenovia I don't think you should be pointing your Excalibur destruction at him like that. We aren't in really friendly territory at the moment." Pausing for a second, she looked around to see most of us up and getting ready to tackle her. Even me and Rodrick got out of our pillow duties. Although Kiba looked down right murderous.
But she still ran her mouth. "Sorry but he did pretty much challenge the whole church. As such it's my duty to uphold its honor." With that I heard snorts from Rodrick, Allen, Lefay, and even Kiba. Still what Kiba said next was quite surprising.
"If you want to uphold its "honor" so much. Then how about a little fight?" Everyone looked at him while Xenovia questioned him with narrowed eyes.
"Oh? And just who are you to challenge me?"
Kiba smirked before answering. "I'm Yuuto Kiba and I guess you could call me your sempai."
Okay then this escalated quickly… We were now standing outside, while Rodrick reluctantly put up a barrier. Apparently the fight was actually happening, and while Allen and Irina looked apprehensive of fighting one another. Kiba and Xenovia looked ready for blood. Still when Rodrick was done he turned to the combatants and spoke up.
"Alright you renegades there will be no killing or permanent injuries in this match. If I even think that you're trying to kill the other I will step in. And let me tell you… the punishment won't be pretty." He said that last part so menacingly that it actually managed to scare everybody. Even Chirno and Ravel ended up hiding behind me. Though when I say everyone… I mean all but Shirone, Sona, and Lefay. But that was a given already, after all those three have nothing to fear from him.
And with that they all turned to face their opponents. "Now begin!" With those two words from Rodrick Kiba and Xenovia charge each other. Although Xenovia was surprised by Kiba's sacred gear.
"Sword birth… truly you have a blasphemous sacred gear." Instead of answering Kiba just glared at her while he swung his holy eraser at her. Then with a single swing Xenovia broke it with her Excalibur. Using his speed Kiba then jumped out of the way of her counterattack.
Back with Allen and Irina however…
"Just hold still!"
"If I did you would cut me and I don't think that'd be good for my health!" Currently Allen was just easily dodging Irina's attacks. Really Allen wasn't even fighting back. Still Rodrick must've seen my confusion as he spoke up.
"Just so you all know Allen has a very special power that is quite similar to a sacred gear. However it is much too strong to use in a regular spar." We all looked at him than back to Allen as he seemed to move even faster now.
"Wow! That Draconic knight piece really did enhance my speed!" I couldn't help but agree with him with that. Really he seemed just as fast if not faster than Ryu at the moment.
At that moment we all felt and huge explosion coming from the area of the other fight. This knocked Irina off her feet and onto her head. Sitting up she clutched it in pain. So worried about my old friend I walked up to her and offered my hand.
"You okay?" Regaining her bearings she looked at my hand before looking at me. She then blushed a bit before accepting my hand and speaking.
"I am but I think I'm done for today. I can't even seem to scratch Walker San." Looking back at our newest recruit we saw him rubbing his head sheepishly.
He then gave an apology. "Sorry about that, but I'm not very good when it comes to fighting those with good hearts." Irina just nodded her head as we turned to the other fight. Currently Kiba was panting in exhaustion as he stared at the large hole Xenovia created.
He then spoke up in anger. "So this is the power of an Excalibur… I can't imagine the amount of work it'd take to destroy all of them. Even so I must succeed!" He then got up and created a huge demonic sword. "This is my power!" He the charged Xenovia and swung it at her. In turn she swung her own blade at it making another explosion as Kiba's sword shattered. After the smoke cleared we saw her sheathe her sword and start leaving.
But before doing so she spoke to Kiba's downed form. "Your anger right now is clouding your true skill. As such I hope that the next time we fight you'll be in a better mindset let's go Irina." With that she left the area as Irina yelled at her.
"Wait up Xenovia!" She then began running but then turned to smile at the rest of us. "I'm sorry for her behavior. But it was good to see you again Issei hopefully the lord will let us meet up again Amen!" She ran off after her partner completely ignoring the devils cringes of pain.
When she was gone Chirno spoke up. "She's a bit of a ditz isn't she?" I sighed but couldn't stop myself from nodding my head.
"Where do you think you're going?!" Turning around I saw Rias yelling at Kiba who now looked rather lost. But he still spoke to her.
"Sorry but all of this made me remember the real reason why I fight. As such goodbye Rias." He then started leaving again, he didn't even stop when Rias kept on yelling at him.
"If you leave like this I'll have no choice but label you a stray! I mean it Yuuto don't leave!" He however did making us all watch in worry. Rias even looked about ready to cry.
So seeing this Sona approached her old friend. "Don't worry Rias I'm sure he'll come back to his senses eventually." Rias just sighed but nodded her head before turning to us.
"Alright… let's just go and get some rest. Tomorrow we'll deal with things, but no matter how much I don't like it we need to deal with Kokabiel first." We all nodded our heads in agreement. Even Rodrick didn't argue with her, which was surprising seeing how she was basically giving him orders. But I figured he knew that she was just a little distraught.
Unfortunately Freed who for some reason very quiet spoke up. "Well… you guys can go get some rest. I'll do what I do best and look up some la- I mean clues. Hehehe…" We all just stared at him as he left. I couldn't help but shake my head at his antics.
{But didn't you used to join him and Azazel in their so called antics partner?} I couldn't help but sigh at that.
Leave it to the dragon to point out my past faults…
Kukuku hello I'm the crazy eyed line break.
The next day was a little hectic especially with the meeting that was being held in the morning.
"Alright everyone we have a big problem here. Not only do we have Kokabiel and most likely some of Xilo's servants running around. We also have one uncooperative exorcist, an exorcist who is kind of ditzy, and we also have Kiba threatening to go rogue. Put them all together and we have a rather terrible situation." At Rodrick's words we couldn't help but nod our heads in agreement.
Although I frowned when he insulted Irina… even if what he said was the truth. Still Tsubaki who has basically accepted Rodrick's role as leader spoke up. Oh yeah Sona's peerage has joined us for this little meeting.
"So what do you suggest we do Booker San?" Looking around at everyone Rodrick sighed before speaking again.
"As much as I loathe doing this we need to split up in order to cover more ground. But before that we need to cover some ground rules. One do not engage a Darkwraith without me, Ophis, or Red. Xilo not including himself has shown to have two of them already. So it is possible yet not likely that he has more. If you meet one start running and contact us straight away."
Everyone nodded their heads as he continued. "Secondly if you find any Abysswalkers… also don't engage by yourself. Because as we saw with Faylen they aren't pushovers either." Out of the corner of my eye I saw Sakuya tense up at the name. For that moment I couldn't help but feel bad for her. After all she was beaten rather badly by Faylen last time they fought. Though if Rodrick noticed he didn't say anything, although I did see him send a worried look toward our queen.
Still he pressed forward with his instructions. "Okay now thirdly… just be careful, because it doesn't matter if someone is human or not. As we all know they can be a handful if they want to be. Now with that said let's divide into groups…"
{And that's how we teamed up with Shirone, Saji, Chirno, and Raynare.} I couldn't help but sigh at that a bit. Because while I know Saji's a good guy… he's in a way worse than how I was.
Well at least he doesn't peek on girls. Shaking my head I focused on the task at hand, you see me and Shirone were the closest to Kiba. So we got the job of tracking him down, And Chirno was nice to have the last two made no sense. Well at least it seemed that way to me; Rodrick was the one who came up with the groups, so I'm sure he had his reasons. Our other objective was to try and get Irina and Xenovia to work with us. So as I was thinking heavily on that I almost missed two of our targets.
Well almost. "Can you please give us some money please? We're servants of the lord here on a mission." Looking at the two exorcists I couldn't stop my right eye from twitching. Currently both were sitting on a blanket, on the ground, and were currently begging for money. Or as Xenovia was calling it "generous donations." How they got like that was something Xenovia answered for me as she turned to my old friend.
"You know… this would've never have happened if you use all of all money to buy that fake painting." Blinking I looked behind them to see a painting of… well I didn't know who but it was of someone I'm sure.
Still Irina looked quite affronted at the accusation. "But this is a painting of a well known saint! The man said so himself! I just needed to buy it to bring it back to the Vatican!"
"Really… and who is it in the painting?" There was a pause as Irina mulled it over before speaking again.
"Saint John?" She didn't sound so sure of that but Xenovia just sighed and changed topics… sort of…
"Be that as it may it would seem as if the faith in this country has most definitely fallen. Still maybe we can do some tricks with our swords to earn some money."
Irina brightened up as she spoke. "That's a great idea! We can cut up some fruit or have a mock duel!" Xenovia snorted before looking at the painting again.
"Or maybe we can just cut up this fake painting."
Irina looked horrified by that suggestion. "No you can't! That's a painting of Saint George!"
Wait I thought she called him Saint John? Shaking my head I decided to intervene, seeing how they looked ready to actually murder one another.
"Hey what exactly are you two doing? You do realize this is a public place right?" Hearing my voice both turned to me, and were about to speak when both their stomachs growled. Sighing I spoke again. "Okay how about I get you two something to eat, then discuss why we're all here alright?" Both nodded their heads but I think they just wanted food.
Kukuku hello I'm the crazy eyed line break.
The Infinite Dragon
Okay so being paired up with Rodrick, Lefay, and Sona wasn't a bad thing. But having that Idiot Freed with us was sure annoying. He kept trying to pick up other girls as Rodrick questioned people. Another annoying thing was the young fox spirit with us. What was her name again… oh yeah Tsuyara. She was currently in a human form and her red and blue eyes were currently glaring at Rodrick. Or more accurately the old timer.
Now in human form Tsuyara kept her fur color in the form of her blond hair. Which she kept in a medium length ponytail, her skin was also rather pale and she was three inches taller than me. Really she looked around sixteen to seventeen. Although we all knew she was much older than that. Her clothes consisted of a pink sweater with a red vest over it that hug her body. Which I was a bit jealous to say had more curves than I did. Although not by much seeing how her body was almost like Lefay's.
She also wore a pink pleated skirt that stopped just above her knees. Then finally she had on black boots with red tights, and had on red fingerless gloves. To be honest I had to admit she did look rather good. But with the way she glared at Rodrick I couldn't help but feel a bit… protective. Really I knew she wasn't going to try and hurt him, but it just looked like that.
Now the reason for summoning her was because, Rodrick said we could use as much help as possible. And it had been a while since he got the contract, and he had yet to make good use of it. Although he did mumble something about a space fox. So here she was much to the relief of my mate… if his face was anything to go by. And though at first Tsuyara seemed happy to be of help, she seemed to become angry when we mentioned Masamune's successful childbirth.
In a way I could relate seeing how we both hadn't ever gotten a chance to know him. And he wasn't there for either of us growing up. But as I said… I didn't like how she glared at my mate. But I digress… right at this moment in time our current job was trying to figure out where either A… Kokabiel's current location was or B… Figure out who might be carrying the Excalibur's. The rest of Sona's group, besides Saji was in charge of communications.
The idea was to not take on anyone by ourselves. Well besides Baka Red who was off alone searching for anyone to strong for us. Mittelt though opted to take Fay, Asia, Allen, Rosalia, Itachi, and Ravel to Rias. This was to keep not only them safe, but to have communication with us in case something happens. Basically Allen, Mittelt, and Jing were their bodyguards. Vali on the other hand was with Sona's group as a guard detail as well. Much to my silver haired mate sister's annoyance.
"Hey don't walk away honey!" Turning to Freed I saw a red handprint on his face, and an angry girl walking away from him. Sighing I turned to Rodrick who was looking down at his a notepad.
"So… managed to find anything yet?" With a sigh he closed the notepad while shaking his head.
He then turned to the rest of us. "So far I haven't seen or heard anything. Really it's like they're not even here. To be frank this is definitely not like Kokabiel. Really he'd usually make some sort of ruckus by now, but here we are not seeing any sign of him. However… this does suggest that someone more tactically minded is running the show here. In any case we sho-"
He was interrupted by a high-pitched scream. Being dragons both me and him had to cover our ears to keep them from bleeding. The others were better but not by much. Looking around I tried to find the source of the sound. I didn't find it, but I did see the area cleared of normal people. Mostly because I saw them running away as if in fright.
"Wh…what is this fe…feeling?" Looking over to Lefay I saw her on her knees and shivering in fear. Next to her was Sona who looked a bit better but not by much. Tsuyara also looked slightly affected but was standing strong. As for Freed…
"Hey you know this feeling is strange… I don't like it…" Yeah his own insanity pretty much made him immune to what was happening. As for Rodrick he quickly went in and hugged both Sona and Lefay. Although his face seemed to be darting around, as if looking for something. When he started looking up he froze for a moment before cursing.
"Damn… I should have known it was too good to be true." Frowning and following his gaze, I couldn't help but let my eyes widen at the most hideous thing I've ever seen. That's when he spoke it's name. "Lendopo Diren a feared one…" That's when the creature saw us, looking down at us I could swear it smirked before jumping down right in front of us. When it landed it created cracks on the ground.
However what surprised me the most was the bloody form of a little girl. She had black long hair and seemed about five. But the most important thing was that she had a bite taken out of her neck. Really I didn't even need to try to feel her out to know that she was dead. And as its long tail whipped back and forth behind it… I couldn't help but feel absolute fury at seeing the dead girl. Really I didn't even know why, but if I had to guess it was because I had just recently seen the birth of Masarune.
And that had made me realize the importance of the youngest generation. It probably also didn't help that she was the same age as Fay. And I would admit that even I find that little hellhound adorable. Still if I was angry… I didn't compare to my mate. He didn't say anything, he only stood up and summoned Mune and unsheathed her. And for a second… I was actually scared of him. His hate was literally rolling off of him. It was almost like a poison.
I knew the reason; it was because he deeply cared for children. Because of his own childhood he came to want to protect the innocent of the smaller children. Because he didn't want any of them to go through what he had gone through. Still even as the creature roared its high pitched roar in challenge, Rodrick didn't seem to care. No instead he ran at the creature. And in one swing he cut off the monsters head. It was skillful, it was smooth, yet it was bloody.
So with a sickening squelch its head fell to the floor as its body followed. Almost immediately both Lefay and Sona relaxed while Freed whined.
"Aww… I wanted to kill it!" He was ignored as my mate went up to the body sheathing Mune. He knelt down and picked up the girl's body carefully. Now no longer being held I could see that she was chewed on in multiple places. And based on her expression of pain and shock… I'd say the monster had eaten her alive. With a look of sorrow he gently closed her eyes before placing her back down. Rodrick then summoned a flame in his hands and launched it at the two bodies.
"Rest in peace little one…" Though we all didn't like it we could understand why he did what he did. Truly no evidence could be left to suggest anything supernatural. It was just the way things were done; after all we had to keep the mundane world from discovering us.
But when we all heard clapping we froze. "A nice kill I'll give you that, but it severely underestimated you." We all turned around to see two people one was a young man with blonde hair and expensive Victorian clothing. He also had blue eyes; however his smile seemed completely off. The one next to him however was covered in a brown cloak, although looked quite lanky.
Still upon seeing them Rodrick stepped up to question them. "If you know about the Lendopo Diren, that just means that you're in league with Xilo aren't you?" Again he clapped mockingly before answering.
"Why yes I am! It's nice to meet people that can get right to the point. Anyhow let me introduce myself. You see I'm Diodora Astaroth, the younger brother of Ajuka Beelzebub. And you have recently ruined a very delicate plan of mine." Rodrick narrowed his eyes before speaking again.
"Ajuka would be so disappointed to see you right now. Still what plan did I ruin? Because as far as I know, I've been a thorn in many people's plans." Diodora nodded his head from side to side as if to agree before speaking again.
"While that is true… Mine had to do with the sweet and lovely Asia Argento." Hearing that name we all got tense as he continued. "You see while I don't know if she told you this yet. Asia was once a holy maiden that was eventually excommunicated for healing a devil. A sad and tragic tale yes?"
At this point I couldn't keep quiet. "You're the one that she healed aren't you?! And I can guess at the rest of your plan. You wanted her to die to Raynare and the others, so you could then reincarnate her, so that she'd be so grateful that she'd allow you to use her as you please!" He sneered at me before speaking again.
"I hate it when people give away the ending. Still you're quite right Ms. Ophis. But in the end that won't do you any good, for I will have what I want, and I will kill all of you for interfering! But first I have my part to play in all of this. You see… our little group doesn't actually have the brainpower of yours. Mostly because they're all made up of rotting brains and what not. And our dear "master" Xilo just doesn't have enough liches, to go around ordering all of our brain dead."
He then gestured to the person to his left before continuing. "And some are just too powerful to be left unattended. This is where I come in, you see me and Kokabiel despite hating one another have come to an understanding. But now I get to the actual message, and this is from Xilo so you know. Now while you may have destroyed one Lendopo, there are actually quite a few running around the city. Plus not to mention our more powerful agents, such as his own Abysswalker. Also a little present for the witch."
Diodora then took the cloak off of the man beside him. For a second we didn't know what to do when we saw who it was. And though we all had different reactions the strongest was from Lefay.
"Ar-Arthur?" Standing in front of us was a man with blonde hair and dressed in a business suit. He also held onto and large golden broadsword which gave off a holy light. I could also see a few cracks running from one side of the blade to the other. This was Lefay's older brother Arthur Pendragon. For a second she began to slowly walk towards him, before Rodrick put his arm in front of her.
Seeing this my mate sister questioned him. "Rodrick what are you doing?! That's my brother over there!" My heart actually hurt when I saw the look of hope and confusion on her face. As for Rodrick… he turned to her and pulled her into a hug before speaking softly.
"Lefay you said your brother was killed remember?" At those words her look of hope turned to despair as she looked at her brother.
"It… it can't be… Yo-you turned him into…" At this Diodora clapped his hands before speaking again.
"That's right little witch! Not only did we repair his Excalibur and Caliburn. But we also turned him into a corpse puppet. One which master Xilo gave me control over!" At his words Lefay pretty much went into shock. She slumped into our mate's embrace and tears just fell down her face. Her breath quickened as she just stared at her brother, his face slightly sullen as he looked at her with dead eyes.
Turning to me my mate was about to say something but I spoke first. "Rodrick take Lefay and Sona and find somewhere safe for them." At my words both of them turned to me in confusion. "Sorry but right now Lefay doesn't need to see you fighting her deceased brother. Me and Tsuyara can handle these two, once we're done we'll look for the for the rest of those creatures. So should you when Lefay's safe."
Turning to him Tsuyara nodded her head before Six golden tails came out from her skirt, and two rabbit like ears popped out on her head. Seeing how we were both going to do this my mate sighed before speaking.
"Alright just promise me you'll be careful?" We both nodded our heads when someone we forgot spoke up angrily.
"Hey what about me?! What the hell am I supposed to do?!" Turing to Freed whom looked rather angry we all remembered he was with us. Still I sighed before coming up with a job for him.
"You can go right now to deal with these creatures, just don't get killed." Smiling insanely he gave off a loud whoop of joy before running off. We could only shake our heads at his strange antics. Still I eventually turned to Tsuyara to give her my plan. "Tsuyara can you deal with Arthur? I'd feel better if I wasn't attacking one of my first friends, even if he is dead at the moment." Turning to me she nodded, and began to step forward towards the undead holy sword user.
I then turned to the devil that would use Asia like a common whore. To be honest that angered me, almost as much as having Arthur being used as a dead puppet. To me Asia was a kind girl that I couldn't help but like. Really she was a good friend who was just too innocent to be used in such a manner.
So as I stepped up to fight I heard Rodrick speak one last time. "Give him a hard one just for me okay Ophi Chan?" I couldn't help but turn to him and smile for that. When I turned back, my face became serious again as Diodora backed up a bit laughing nervously. As for Rodrick he had already left using a teleportation circle.
Kukuku hello I'm the crazy eyed line break.
When he was gone my opponent spoke up. "You know… this wasn't really part of the plan. Really the idea was for me and Arthur to fight Booker. We had thought that the rest of you would leave if he told you to. After all it happened at the rating game." I couldn't help but smirk as I summoned a huge snake made of black energy around me.
I then couldn't help but sound condescending as I spoke. "Well… that's your loss then isn't it? Because really though he leads us in battle, it is the girls in our little group that… as you say wear the pants in our group."
Diodora gulped as I took a few menacing steps forward and kept talking. "You know… there are really only a few things I truly hate. One… dragon hating gods and bigots. Two… when we're out of food in the house. Three… not being able to cuddle up with my Ro Kun. Four selfish self entitled bastards. And five… said bastards that use people for their own gain and play with others emotions. And you my dear Diodora Astaroth… well you are one, four, and five."
With each word I walked forward as he walked backwards. Killing intent was radiating off of me as I glared at him. Because it wasn't enough that he played with Asia as he did. But he also had the gall to play with Lefay's emotions, my mate sister! I was so angry that my own energy was actually cracking the ground underneath me. No doubt that the closest gods could also feel my power start spiking. But since it was just the Shinto gods I knew I'd be fine.
After all Amaterasu is actually a sort of friend of mine. But mostly because we both really like food… anyways behind me I could tell the Tsuyara was quite scared by me. However I didn't care as I stared down Ajuka's younger brother. Which was actually why I was hesitating on blasting him to ashes. You see I actually do like Ajuka. He, my mate, and that pervert Azazel made a great tech team. So while I wanted to kill him I knew that Ajuka should deal with him personally.
Didn't mean I couldn't scare and or scar him for life though… So with an evil smirk and with a single thought my snake attacked. Yelling in panic Diodora barely dodged the attack while firing a black ball of energy at me. Confused I made another snake the just opened its mouth and ate it. The snake than exploded much to my shock. Seeing my face and my other snake stopping, Diodora laughed before speaking again.
"How do you like that you so called Infinity dragon god! That was part of the powers I got from Xilo. Otherwise known as Abyssal magic, so tell me how do you like my overwhelming power?!" I stared at him before sighing as Tsuyara began attacking Arthur. In her hand was a kunai made up of some blue crystal. However I didn't care as I spoke to the idiot in front of me.
"Okay first correction… I'm a girl, and I've always been a girl. I just had shape shifting powers that's all." He actually looked surprised at that, but seemed to accept my words at face value. "Secondly… overwhelming? Really? Sorry but at your current level, you wouldn't even be able to scratch baka Issei. Let alone me, Baka Red, or Rodrick." Diodora gained a sneer on his face when I said that, and started arguing with me.
"Really… then how come my spell destroyed your snake? If it really was as weak as you say then that shouldn't have happened." His eyes then widened and he smiled wickedly at me. "Ah I see… you're just bluffing aren't you? You are in fact scared of me; well sorry but when I'm done with you I'll deal with the Kitsune. After that when you're both beaten into the ground I'll have my way with both of you. I'll also record it to show to Booker, that way he can hear your screams of pain and pleasure."
Normally I'd be mad at his words but now… well I was just bored. Is that really the best he could come up with? I mean does he not realize how often I heard those same words over the last five thousand years? And it was true! Each time I turned myself into a female males would always eventually come up to me. And what did they want? They wanted to have their way with me! And every single time I'd just obliterate them!
So with a sigh I spoke up in a bored tone. "You know I've heard that line multiple upon multiples of times. Still that snake was weak because I wasn't expecting you to have that much power. Granted it's still weak to me, I just don't like exerting to much effort in a fight. As such I use low outputs of power unless needed otherwise." He seemed to deflate at my words, especially when I made the snake I was attacking him with even bigger. "So with this I'll make sure to keep you in storage for your brother. I'm sure he'll be happy to see you."
I then launched the snake at him again, but this time it was so fast he couldn't even move a finger. It then wrapped around him and started constricting. Struggling he roared in pain as my snake opened her mouth and ate him whole. Oh yeah my snake is a she, in fact her name is Shimi. Truthfully this snake was special because I made her to be my companion. It was right after I made love with my mate the first time. She was a shadow snake and made from my own energy.
Her main purpose was to protect me, and those I care about when I'm not paying attention to my surroundings. Such as when I'm sleeping, still I can use her in combat by feeding her more energy. She can also be used as a prison cell, seeing how she has her own stomach. She just lacked everything needed to actually digest something. In other words… she lives in my shadow; she can attack at her leisure, and can hold onto prisoners.
Still as I watched her swallow Diodora whole I smiled and clapped. "Good girl! Now come to mama for a hug!" Hissing happily she slithered over to me as I began scratching her chin. She really did like it when I or my Ro Kun showed her affection. However she was also starting to warm up to my mate sisters. Unfortunately I was reminded of another fight going on by and explosion. Turning towards it I grimaced as I saw Tsuyara on the ground panting. She wasn't hurt but her clothes were slightly torn.
Not enough to show anything but it would draw some looks. As for the now dead Arthur he was still fine, at that I couldn't help but growl. It would seem as if Arthur still has all of his skill even in death. Still I knew that Tsuyara needed help started making my way over to them. However before I could get close, a black vortex appeared in front of Arthur.
A person wearing a white coat then stepped out of it. However despite knowing I've never met this person, I couldn't help but think there was something familiar about him. And it wasn't just because Lefay described this person as the one who killed her brother. Still he looked at us both before speaking.
"It would seem as if I was right all along… Diodora was nothing more than a foolish whiny weakling. I knew he couldn't be trusted to deal with any of you. But he wanted his revenge, but now look at what happened. Losing to a fox and a dragon whore, what a pathetic way to go." Okay now that got to me as I made another snake and sent it at him. However he saw it coming and in one quick move he cut my snake. However despite only seeing him make one cut my snake was cut into ribbons.
"Now that wasn't very nice now was it? Still I guess you feel angry about what I did to that witch and her brother. That's something I can understand at least. Revenge is a very strong motivation, but in the end it gets you nothing." He then ignored us as he grabbed hold of Arthur's shoulder and made another black vortex. Figuring out what he was trying to do I sent Shimi at him, however the vortex closed on them before I could stop them. Growling in frustration on stomped on the ground cracking it even more.
Then after a few calming breaths and Shimi nuzzling me I turned to Tsuyara. "Well I guess that's it then. Let's contact my mate and tell him what happened. After which we'll deal with the creatures running around." Tsuyara nodded her head at me while I got out the phone Rodrick got for me. However as I was dialing, I couldn't help but think about the encounter I had with the one who killed Arthur.
For some reason he just felt… familiar. But the strangest thing was that despite being quite different, he had a similar scent to Rodrick. Like if I didn't always smell cinnamon from my mate, than he would smell kind of like that man.
You're over thinking things Ophis. Besides Ro Kun isn't anything like that man, after all he doesn't insult others for no reason. No I just need to worry about that sword of his. And with those thoughts I called my mate to tell him what happened.
Omake! Ophis and the Snake: Part One
The Spectator
It was just another regular day in the Booker residence… well except for the giant snake currently wrapping itself tightly around said Booker.
"Where in creation did this thing come from?!" It was early morning the before the rating game, and Rodrick was clearly freaking out. He also looked a little worse for wear. Mostly with because of the dark bags under his eyes and ruffled clothing. What's more was that he was just trying to make some breakfast for everyone. Struggling he tried to make the snake let go, but for some reason couldn't find it in him to actually hurt the snake.
Eventually a yawning Shirone walked down the stairs. "Good morning Ro Kun." She then proceeded to the fridge to pour herself a cup of milk. Rodrick could only look at her while she seemed to ignore the predicament he was in.
"Shirone you may or may not have noticed… but there is a giant snake trying to kill me!" Looking at him she tilted her head in confusion. In fact she was about to respond, when Lefay came down still looking a bit tired.
"Good morning Shirone Chan, Ro Kun." She then proceeded to the table to sit down. Rodrick's mouth hung open as his kitten returned his sorceresses greeting. That was when Vali and Sona walked down. Again he was completely ignored. That was when Ryu came down, fully expecting his knight to help he was aghast when he was also ignored by him as he started cooking. Eventually everyone came down along except for Ophis.
Seeing this he yelled out to them. "Would you please tell me why I'm just being ignored?! If you haven't noticed a giant snake is trying to kill me!" Everyone looked at him confused and Sakuya was about to speak when Ophis spoke up in an annoyed tone.
"What is with all the yelling? If you haven't noticed I like a little peace and quiet during this time of day." Quickly Rodrick yelled out to her.
"Please help me! This thing is trying to kill me!" Turning to him Ophis blinked while tilting her to the side cutely. She was completely confused by Rodrick's response. That was when she realized something.
So bumping her head she finally explained things. "Sorry about that Ro Kun! I kept forgetting to introduce you to Shimi. She's basically a familiar I created specifically for myself. Usually she lives in my shadow, but she sometimes wanders off. But it seems that just like me she likes you quite a bit.~" Rodrick than gave her a bored look before turning back to Shimi.
"So… you're Ophis' familiar… could you please let me down?" Shimi shook her head before she started licking him and while curling around him tighter. At this Rodrick couldn't help but compare Shimi to Ophis. "Just like Ophi Chan, when you want to cuddle no one can stop you." At his words Ophis couldn't help but give a big smile while watching the two.
It's nice that they get along so well!~

Judan: Well who was expecting that?
Slayer: I wasn't but it was funny how we got rid Diodora for now. Although in my opinion he deserves far worse.
Ophis: I agree with you but what can I do? Ajuka needs to be the one to deal with him.
Rodrick: That is understandable. But next time someone calls you a whore I'm going to tear them in half!
Shadow: Whoa! Violent aren't we?
Ophis: As if you don't like it.
Shadow: Ahem… I don't know what you mean. Just as a younger brother myself… I know that if any of them still cared that my brothers would like to deal with me themselves.
Modaga: Uh huh… Sorry my un-youthful Darkwraith I'm sure they still want your head on a silver platter. Topped with pain, and a dash of bloody gore.
Slayer: That was… highly accurate actually…
Rodrick: Makes me worry about the future…
Judan: Yeah! I'm mean what the hell man! What kind of characters are you making here?!
Slayer: Sorry! But it is true that most of the Darkwraiths were nothing but violent loving psychopaths!
Shadow: Not all of them you jerk!
Ophis: Yeah right! You talked about murdering random people on the streets a while ago!
Shadow: Uh… hey I know how about we end this! I think people get the idea by now. You can even end it Ophis!
Judan: Though we know you're just changing the subject you do have a point. So Ophis if you please?
Ophis: Oh fine… Ahem… Now this has been a Dark Guard production now signing off!
Everyone: Goodbye!
Rodrick: Seriously Shadow ever thought about therapy?
Shadow: Actually yes but after three days with my therapist she was the one who went insane.
