Chapter one: Everything I know is a lie…

The black dragon

I looked between my adopted brother, and the girl he was standing next to. She had long black hair and violet eyes. Now while that was unique I couldn't really say anything bad about it. After all Koneko's eyes were amber, and my own eyes were red. She was wearing a uniform different than the ones at Kuoh. Her name was Yuma Amano and she seemed like a kind, sweet, and beautiful girl. Not someone I'd ever expect to ask Issei out on a date. Looking between them I saw that Issei was smiling smugly.

I just had to do something to mess with him. "So Yuma was it?" She nodded her head at my question, all the while smiling sweetly. "I'm sorry but I just have to ask… Are you sure you want this thing to be your boyfriend?" At that Issei started yelling at me.

"What do you mean by this thing?! I finally have someone ask me out, and you have to go and say that right in front of her!" I just smiled innocently before answering.

"Yes… yes I do. After all what are younger brothers for, if not to bug their older sibling?" He just pursed his lips slightly while giving me a bored look. At that point I couldn't help it, I started laughing at him. I was then joined by the sweet sounding laughter of Yuma, which shocked my dear older brother. "Yuma chan! Please don't encourage him!" Still smiling she giggled a bit before rebuking him.

"It's fine though Issei Kun. After all I find it nice that you have such a fun relationship with your brother." He sighed at this but couldn't help by smile in agreement.

"I guess your right… anyway Chris, this Thursday after school we'll be going on our first date. So there's a point for me! I've gone a date before you so ha!" My eye was starting to twitch at this; however what he said next ticked me off. "Especially since you've been trying to ask Koneko chan out for a while… And by trying I mean chickening out!~" It was at this point that I planned to do something to his next meal. This was fairly easy to do since I did most of the cooking. Trying not to let him see my evil smile I left with an angry step. However even I didn't know that we were being watched at the time.

The black dragon the white cat

Back at our house, Issei couldn't help but tell our parents about what had happened. This both excited and worried them. Seeing how they expected me to get a girlfriend while Issei stayed single. I myself was a bit worried about how sudden this all was. I didn't know what it was but Yuma gave me an odd feeling. Being around her felt like being around my sister. Only a billion times deluded through liquid nitrogen… then! Put into a blender and dumped into the ocean. Still anything that felt like her was cause enough to be worried.

However Milly was actually rather excited about it. She just kept asking him questions, trying to see what her perspective sister in law was like.

"Is she pretty? Is she nice? What is her eye color? Does she have any brother and sisters? Ooh! Ooh! What school does she go to?!" She was firing off questions so quickly, that Issei couldn't answer them. Yep that was Milly cute, energetic, and a very caring person. I smiled while chuckling at my older brother's dilemma. But being the kind and helpful younger brother that I am… I decided to give my dear brother some pointers. Because even though I've never been on a date… at least I am actually able to talk to girls, without them beating me to a pulp.

So putting down my rice bowl and chopsticks I turned to him. "Alright brother I think you need to know some things about women." He turned to me and blinked for a bit before scoffing.

"I know everything there is to women! So you don't have to tell me anything." Everyone at the table stared at him before answering in unison.

"""You're porn doesn't count as a form of knowledge.""" He instantly deflated at that. Shaking her head our mother gave him a stern look.

"Issei let me give you some advice." Seeing the look she was giving him Issei gulped. However she continued undaunted. "You must treat this girl kindly, and be respectful. But also don't just do what anyone would do. Try and make the date stand out somehow." Issei raised an eyebrow at that.

"And how do I make it "stand" out?" Our mother just shrugged at his question.

"I'm not sure, that's up to you. Just think of her and what she seems to like. Then add in something a little unexpected. Take for example your uncle; he took my sister in law out on a date. This was under the advice of one of her friends. She said he'd give her a date the likes which she'd never forget. And you know what he did?" All of us thought about it and could come to no answer.

However my mother just smiled knowingly, like she'd knew we wouldn't get it. "He took her to a fish market to go watch the lobsters fight!~" When she said that I swear I could hear a coin drop.

[Thy family is really quite strange.] I really couldn't help but agree with Fernus' deduction. But still the whole thing was ridiculous so I started laughing. Everyone stared at me for a few moments. It didn't really end up mattering seeing how they joined in after a bit. Once we were almost out of breath and gasping for air. Milly perked up and turned to me.

"Hey Chris-Nii! You don't seem as depressed anymore!" At that everyone blinked and turned to me. I just shrugged while taking a drink from my cup. However Issei was giving an evil grin.

"That's because he had a talk with his Koneko chan.~" I couldn't help it, I spit out the water I was drinking. But luckily I managed to do it in Issei's direction. At this he frowned at being covered in spit. But hey! He completely deserved it…

However the other members of our family were just giggling. My mother was the first to stop though and give me a warm smile.

"It seems we can always count on that girl to make you happy. So… when are you going to ask her out?" I stopped my heated glaring competition with Issei. Those words had frozen me in my place. I really couldn't answer that question.

"Well… um… the thing is…" I was now mumbling my words, which only prompted her to laugh at me. At that I slumped down and put my face onto the table. Seeing this she smiled apologetically at me.

"Sorry honey, but it's just so cute when you do that. Normally you just act so serious, so seeing you flustered is just a rare sight." I gave out an airy sigh at that. "But don't worry! I just know that you two will end up together some day!~" I just looked at her with a sweat drop at her tone.

Wasn't the original topic about Issei and his date? When did it become the pick me up talk for my love life? Taking off my glasses and quickly cleaning the lenses I sighed.

"Haa… I get what you're talking about, but I just need to find the courage to ask. But for now I think we should just focus on Issei. After all he was the one to get a girlfriend not me." At the end of that I put my glasses back on, while smirking at Issei. I think my glasses even flashed when I did.

Seeing how I changed the subject to him, he flashed me a betrayed look. However being as close as we were, the two of us could practically communicate through looks. The following was the silent conversation.

How could you do this to me?

Because you did the same to me.

I'll get you back for this! I swear I will!

Hahaha! Fine but you should run to the bathroom first. There might have been something in your food. At this he just looked at me in abject horror. Poking his stomach lightly, he just smirked at me seeing nothing was happening. However I just kept smiling. Looking at me questioningly he was about to say something… when his stomach growled. That was when he jumped up and ran to the bathroom. At this point I couldn't help it. Making sure my voice was full of concern, I called out to him.

"Hey are you alright in there Issei?" All we heard was his pained groaning. However he did managed to get in a few words.

"I'll get you back for this! I swear on all of my magazines!" When he said this the others at the table looked at me. I however just shrugged with a confused look.

[That was just mean… Canst thou do it again?] I inwardly chuckled while keeping my face worried and confused.

Hehehe… don't worry he'll do something else. Besides… he should know not to mess with the person, who cooks his meals.

The black dragon the white cat

Thursday after school

I didn't know why I did, but I just had to follow my brother. I didn't trust Yuma as she was giving off that weird feeling. So I had gotten on my clothes, before leaving a note saying I had some things to do in town. I was currently wearing a red t-shirt, and black slacks. On my feet were black leather boots, with the soles being red in color. Around my waist was a dull black colored belt. I also had on two black leather gloves and a black trenchcoat over my clothes. The coat was actually a gift from my real mother. She said it would always protect me and so far… it has been proven true.

She had actually made one for all of my true siblings. The material was actually something which couldn't be replicated. A hint as to what they made of, could be seen whenever the sun hit them just right. For within the light one could see what looks like scales inside the coat. But to be honest they were a lot more visible in my brother's and sister's coats. One of them was red in color and the other being white in color. The coat was the last thing I had to remember my birth mother.

Shaking my head from those depressing thoughts I went back to spying… I mean observing Issei and his date. So far… it was actually rather entertaining to watch. Not to mention unique in his own way. The date started out as any other one would. Except for a couple on instances, for example… Issei arrived first about five minutes early. However Yuma was three minutes late. It went down like this…

"Sorry I'm late Issei Kun. I hope I didn't keep you waiting to long.~" At this point I was expecting Issei to say something cliché like… "Don't worry I just got here", or "It doesn't matter if it's you", something like that. However what he said and did next surprised me.

"Oh there you are Yuma chan… I was getting lonely here and I thought you decided to ditch me." He was even giving off some fake sniffles as well. At this I could see the surprised expression on Yuma's face. However after a second, that surprise turned into amusement.

"Sorry I didn't think being three minutes late would make you so lonely…" Her face then turned into a fake sad pout. "Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?" Her hands were behind her back as she shifted from foot to foot. Issei stopped his fake crying, and brought his right hand up to his chin in mock thought.

"I don't know Yuma… this was a rather serious thing. But being as nice as I am I'll let it go for now." He ended that with a goofy grin, causing Yuma to giggle a bit.

"Well I hope I can still make it up to you one day.~" They stayed that way both wearing serious faces for thirty seconds. Then as if a switch was flipped they both smiled and started laughing. For me along with some other people passing by… the whole thing was just strange.

Then again this is Issei I'm talking about… When they stopped laughing Issei held out his arm to his date.

"If you would take my arm now dear lady, then we could continue with the rest of the day." Yuma smirked a bit before looping her arm through his. So far at this point I had to admit that Issei, was actually taking our mothers advice seriously. He was trying to make the date a bit more unique than others were. Now all that was missing is the lobster fight.

The strangest thing that happened was when Yuma went to the restroom. Some girl dressed up like a devil, went up to Issei and handed him a flier. Being far away so they wouldn't notice me, I wasn't able to see what was on it. But Issei's face of confusion told me what it said was strange. However that didn't stop him from stuffing it into his back pocket. But it's just a piece of paper so it was of no importance to me.

The most unique part about the date, was when Issei took her to a grocery store. Just so they could listen in on other people's conversations. I must admit they plus me, were able to listen in on some pretty funny things. By the end of the day, he had bought her a bracelet and they walked to a park. Also by this time the feeling of uneasiness I got from Yuma disappeared. In fact it started going away at the beginning of the date. Now it was non-existent. Paying closer attention to them now, I watched and listened as Yuma spoke.

"Thank you Issei Kun I had a wonderful time today. The best date I've ever had to be honest." By Issei's face I could tell that he was proud at that. But he tried to play it off a bit.

"Well I know I can be rather awesome if I want." He then started to do strong guy poses, trying to be funny. And though it looked just strange to me, Yuma laughed at it so I guess that's what matters.

"Say Issei there is something I want you to do for me. You know to commemorate our first date." Looking surprised my brother turned to her. But for some reason she seemed to be struggling with something. I was also picking up on a mix of emotions from her. I didn't know what was going through her head. Apparently neither did Issei; in fact he looked more worried than I felt.

"Yuma chan are you okay? If there's something bothering you… you can always talk to me about it." If it were possible she seemed to start struggling even more at this. Then suddenly she stood up.

"No I can't do this! I thought I could but I… I just can't!" Nothing was making sense anymore. Issei got up to try and console her and see what was wrong. But she just backed up from him. "I'm sorry Issei but we can't be together. I can't really explain it but, you just need to leave now!" Her feeling of panic was quickly rising; it was already so strong that it was affecting me. I knew it was also passively working on Issei but he stood strong. Grabbing her shoulders he stared into her eyes.

"Yuma calm down! If something is wrong then let me help." She was now starting to cry as she shook her head.

"No you don't understand! If they find out I didn't… You just need to leave now! I don't want you getting hurt…" Issei was about to question her further, when someone started laughing. At that if it was even possible… Yuma seemed to panic even more.

"Well, well, well… You know Raynare we never thought you'd fall for the human. Just goes to show that you aren't fit to be a part of us anymore." Looking towards the voice I couldn't help but be shocked at what I saw.

What the hell is he?! About ten meters away from Issei, and the now named Raynare was a man. He was a middle-aged-looking gentleman with short black hair and dark blue eyes. His outfit consisted of a pale violet trenchcoat over a white dress shirt with a matching ascot, black pants and shoes, and a black fedora. But those were his normal features… what was strange about him were the fact that he had two wings. Crow wings to be exact and they were coming out of his back! I had no idea what he was. Only that he was pointing some strange spear of light… at my brother!

Personally I wasn't about to let that go. Getting up from my hiding place I ran towards them. Just in time to as the man threw the spear at Issei. Acting quickly, I plowed into him knocking us both down to the ground. The spear flew on as it passed the spot where Issei's heart used to be. Everyone was shocked at what had just happened. However I just wiped my brow and let out a sigh of relief.

"Phew… I thought I wouldn't make it in time." Snapping out of his daze Issei looked up at me.

"Chris? What are you doing here?" I heard his questioning tone and got off him and helped him up. Only then did I answer.

"Does it really matter at this point? Besides we have bigger things to worry about… meaning that crow guy over there." I pointed my thumb backwards at the man now fuming in anger.

"What is the meaning of this?! What are you trying to pull you pathetic human!" Eye twitching at his insults I turned to him. Looking up at him I took off my glasses and glared at him. I was rewarded as I saw him flinch back at my eyes. My eyes were still red, but now they had turned into reptilian slits. Now normally I'd be as blind as a bat without my glasses. However by using just some of my draconic energy, I could enhance all my senses to the level of a dragon. At this moment in time I didn't really care what he was. All I knew was that he tried to kill my brother.

To sum up what I was feeling… I was pissed off! However the guy not knowing what kind of danger he was in shot his mouth off.

"And just what do you think you're doing you miserable human? Are you trying to be intimidating? Because it ain't going to work on the great Dohnaseek! I survived the war between the three factions! I am a fallen angel and you are just a human!" I narrowed my eyes at him but didn't say anything.

So he's a fallen angel eh? Hey Fernus ever heard of anything like this guy before? I could tell that he was thinking but after a moment he answered me.

[No. At least not in the context thou art asking me. If I were to believe… I think they were in thy holy book.] I thought for a moment before agreeing.

Yeah now that I think of it, fallen angels were mentioned in the bible. I just never thought they were real. But I do have a bigger question…

[Oh! And what could that be?] I closed my eyes before answering.

I wonder why my brother… DIDN'T TELL ME ABOUT THEM! My question was quite valid to. You see my older brother Ulysses travels around the world. So I'm fairly certain he knows about these "fallen" angels. However I can see now that he had neglected to tell me. In fact until now, I thought we dragons were the only mythical things left in the world.

HA! Shows what I know doesn't it! As I was having this interesting conversation with Fernus, Dohnaseek seemed to grow impatient.

"What are you just standing there for?! You should be on your knees, groveling for my mercy!" Having only heard the word mercy I snapped out of my thoughts.

"Sorry what was that? I wasn't really paying attention." Silenced filled the area, and I could've sworn I also heard crickets. But since it was evening that kind of made sense… Blinking a bit Raynare was the first to break the silence.

"You know Issei Kun you're brother's a bit strange." Despite not really knowing what was going on, my brother folded his arms and nodded his head sagely. I just looked back at him with a blank stare.

"You know remind me not to save you again." Finally having a moment to get one over on me he smirked. His comeback was also pretty decent.

"While I thank you for that… I'm more curious as to why you were able to save me." At his words even Raynare was glaring at me. So coughing a bit I looked up innocently. "Wait a minute… You were following us!" I just shrugged at this. After all it was true, no point in denying this.

"Yeah well, sorry but Yum… I mean Raynare was giving me an odd feeling. So call me paranoid for trying to keep you safe. Though I have to say, you did an actually okay job on your date." At this both turned a bit red, and the argument escalated.

Throughout all this Dohnaseek was just staring at us… completely miffed that he was forgotten. What I said next though set him off.

"Well Issei at least I have some ideas on what to do myself.~" At that point I felt an incredible amount of killers intent being directed at us.

"Would you forget about the date?! If you hadn't noticed I'm trying to kill you guys!" At that I just turned to him while rubbing my head sheepishly.

"Sorry about that, you're right. We just forgot you were there, so if you could continue where we left off. That'd be great.~" Now some of you might be wondering… am I trying to tick him off on purpose? The answer is yes… yes I am. My words had the intended affect as he roared in rage.

"ARGH! Don't you look down on me! And you! Raynare! You've grown soft ever since Mittelt disappeared! You're a disgrace who deserves to die along with these humans!" That was when something hit me.

"Hey wait a minute… this means you were also following them on their date!" It was at this point, that his rage broke.

"ARGH!" Snarling he dived bombed me with a spear of light in his hand. I knew he was planning on impaling me.

[Thus thou need my help?] I smirked and shook my head.

No I got this. As the winged man approached I heard yells of panic from Raynare and Issei. However they were silenced at what happened next. Moving quickly I brought up my left hand and grabbed the spear. The look on Dohnaseek's face only brought a smile to mine.

"Ho-how? That's not possible!" I only smirked as I reared back my right fist, and smacked him in the face. He let go of the spear and I crushed it in my hand. Something of this level would never be able to harm me…

Okay maybe a little… Looking at my hand I could see some smoke coming from it. This caused me to frown. You see the only way something that week could even scratch me. Would be if the base element used to construct the attack, was the opposite of mine. I grimaced further at this development.

Great so there's an entire race of beings, maybe even two. That can easily harm me. Shaking my burnt hand a bit, I let the pain numb. However at the way Dohnaseek was having trouble getting up. I could tell that my attacks also did greater damage to him. Well at least there's a silver lining here. Standing up on shaky legs; while holding his left hand to his face. I could tell by the glare he was giving me that he was pissed. However the angrier he got the sloppier he was. So I did what I do best… I made him madder.

"Sorry was that light tap too much for you? Let's try it again, I promise to not go as hard on you." For someone as prideful as the guy in front of me… my words only increased his fury. Now completely livid, Dohnaseek had completely forgotten the reason why he was there. His only goal now was to murder me in a blind rage. This worked for me, because the angrier he gets… the easier my next move became. Charging at me blindly I held up a hand. And though it had been awhile since I've done what I'm planning. It was still child's play to perform. So smiling wickedly I held up my hand. My fingers curled only at the second knuckle.

"Gravity blow." In front of my hand, a small sphere no bigger than a baseball started form. It was completely black but had purple electricity around it. Then in an instant it grew tent times bigger, and launched itself at the angry fallen. He had no time to dodge as it hit him dead on.

"AHHHHHHHH!" His screams of pain filled the air as the ball of gravity tore him to shreds. To be honest I felt bad about killing him. But that was what happened when someone threatened, those I care about. Plus he did try to kill me first so… it was legitimate self-defense. Hey don't judge me! After a second the ball disappeared, leaving a bloody and chard Dohnaseek behind. At that I raised an eyebrow.

"Huh… That's never happened before." That was completely true; my targets had never been damaged as badly as he was.

[However thou hast never targeted a living being before.] I guess his explanation made sense… no doubt his affinity for the white element didn't help him either. My brother ended up shaking me from my thoughts.

"Um… Christopher what exactly did you just do?" I turned to them both seeing their surprised, awed, and shocked faces. It was now that the implications of what I just did hit me. I had just shown off a fraction of my power in public. What's worse it was outside on a clear day, with my brother and his girlfriend watching me… I only had one thought at this.

Ah crap… So giving out a tired sigh I asked him a question.

"Issei do you remember about a year after we met… the strange question I asked you?" I was actually a bit hesitant about this. Because I had no idea on how he'd react to my true origins. Still he thought about my strange question answered me.

"Yeah… you had asked me about whether or not I believed in dragons. But what does that have to do with anything?" Grimacing a bit I turned around and showed them my eyes. To say they were surprised was an understatement.

"Well… that's because I am a dragon… the black dragon god to be precise." They just stared at me for a while, trying to comprehend what I had just said. Strangely enough… Raynare broke the silence.

"WHAT! You're a god! That can't be! I've never even heard of a black dragon god until now! The only ones I've ever heard about are Ophis and The great Red!" Now it was time for me and Issei to look at her strangely.

Thinking about the two names she said I shrugged. "I've never heard of them." Issei also shook his head, making Raynare stare at us in absolute confusion.

"Wait you mean to say you're a black dragon god… And you've never heard of the infinity dragon or the apocalyptic dragon!" I just shrugged and shook my head.

"Sorry but until now… I thought there were only six, now five mythical beings on this planet. If there were more my real brother never told me about it. In fact I plan on giving him a call real soon…" I said that last bit with as much malice as I could muster. The effect was obvious when I looked back to them both sweating in fear. I just gave them a bored look.

"Huh… You know I think at this point we all deserve explanations. But not just from me, but also from you Raynare. So how about you come over and we can just talk everything out." Seeing how late it was, and also looking at the burnt Dohnaseek they both agreed.

The black dragon the white cat

By the time we got home, it was rather late. And Milly had already been put to bed. However the one to greet us was our dad.

"Welcome ho…" He trailed off as he saw Raynare with us as I closed the door. He blinked for a bit before taking off his glasses and rubbing his eyes. It seemed to me… as though he was trying to make sure he was seeing correctly. Not that I blame him, seeing his sons with a beautiful girl was bound to be… surprising… his next response was unwarranted though.

"Hey HONEY! Come quick the boys have brought home a girl!" Appearing as if teleporting, our mother looked at the three of us. I myself was wearing an annoyed face, Raynare's was one of confusion, and Issei's was one of exasperation. Our mother spoke before we could however.

"Oh Issei sweetie is this girl." She said while gesturing to Raynare. "The one you were talking about last night? You know the one you said asked you out." Before both could speak I spoke up.

"Yes she is mother. However it's late and Yuma san had nowhere to really sleep tonight. So we decided it best for her to rest here. You see she's actually a new transfer student. So… we're just going to go talk for a bit and then get to bed." It was amazing how quickly I could come up with a lie. But also kind of scary how easy it was…

Not seeing any other solution with the problem, the other two just nodded their heads. Seeing this, my mother started to shed some tears.

"Oh you poor girl! Don't worry you can stay with us as long as you like." I myself had my own thoughts on that.

Yeah… especially since I warded this whole place myself. Still despite all this, I was still rather worried about something. By using my powers like that, even if it was only a tiny bit… I had sent up a tiny red flag. This showed where I am; now I could only hope no one noticed it. I'd rather not deal with any of the other dragons right now. I mean we all get along, for the most part. It's just I don't need them nagging me about my use of power. Coughing into my hand to get both my crying parents attention, I spoke up.

"Ahem… Anyways like I was saying it's late, and we have school tomorrow. So if you could excuse us you can get to know Yuma later." Nodding towards us we left and entered my room. Looking over at my desk Raynare was intrigued by my dragon statues.

"Those are some interesting figurines. However I can't help but notice one of them is broken." I grimaced at that before sitting down at my desk chair. The other two sat on my bed. Rubbing my hands together I decided it was about time to start. Well sort of…

"Now before we get started I'll like to call up my brother. Just to see if he knows anything about this." They both nodded at that. Seeing this I took out my cellphone, a black wafer thin flip phone. I quickly moved to my contacts and selected Ulysses name.

The black dragon the white cat

The fire dragon

Laughing at the story the man in front of me was telling, I heard my phone ring. Taking it out of my pocket I saw to my surprise, my little brothers name.

"Well now if it isn't my little bro! It's surprising to see him call me these days. Although I did feel a small spike of his power… You don't mind if I take this right Azazel?" The man next to me thought for a moment. He had black hair with golden bangs a black goatee. His eyes were also violet and shifted shades in the light. He wore a long red coat that showed off his chest. He also had brown shoes and black pants. Around his wrists are two black bands, as well as the upper parts of his arms. Around his waist and over his coat were two black belts. We were also the same personality wise.

I myself had a fairly muscular body, and had long red hair tied up in a ponytail that reached the middle of my back. My eyes were coal black and I wore a red trenchcoat, with no shirt underneath. I needed to keep the eyes of the ladies on me after all. I also wore black leather pants and red combat boots. Around my waist was a red belt with a silver buckle. The sleeves of my coat I had folded up to my elbows. On my head I also wore a red cowboy hat. Now finally I wore red rocker gloves on my hands. I looked good if I do say so myself… Now looking back over at Azazel I waited for his answer.

He grinned before answering me. "No, no! Go ahead it's nice to talk to family every now and again!~" I too grinned while I ran a hand through my bright red hair.

"Thanks dude. Now let's see what my bro wants…" Flipping open my phone I brought it to my left ear, as I leaned back and put my feet onto the table. "Yello?" I could hear a sigh come from the other end. This only caused me to grin wider however.

"Hello Ulysses, it's me Christopher. I hope I'm not interrupting anything." I had to hold back a snicker.

My brother always the serious one. "Don't worry bro!~ I'm not doing anything important right now. But why'd ya call me? Don't tell me you're actually starting to miss me?" I heard a muffled grumble from the other side of the phone.

"No chance in hell. I'm calling strictly for business reasons." At this I gave out some fake sniffles.

"If that's the case you can put dear sweat Milly on the phone. I'm sure she'll be more pleasant to talk to than you!" I heard a thump and I could tell he hit his head on something. But what he said next surprised me.

"NO you pig headed moron! I'm wondering if you know anything about fallen angels!" That threw me for a loop. Pausing a bit to look at Azazel, the governor of the fallen angels I turned back to my conversation.

"Nope sorry I got nothing. Why are you asking though bro?" Did I feel bad about lying… nope not one bit. He sighed in frustration before answering me.

"I'm asking because I'm here with one named Raynare, and Issei. We also happened to be attacked by one named Dohnaseek. However he's now nothing but ash." What he said was now rather intriguing. I decided to ask Azazel what was up. Since some of his guys were in my brother's town. But only after this conversation was over.

"I'm sorry to hear that little bro. But by your words I can only assume you killed him?"

"Yeah it was rather easy to… apparently they have an innate white element. So just one punch and low power gravity blow, then POW! He's dead." I nodded my head at this. I figured this would happen if he ever fought a low level fallen. The only ones that could possible harm him, and I mean truly harm him. Are the higher level guys, like the ones with eight wings or more. You see for angels the more wings you have the stronger you are. That also transferred to fallen angels as well. I gave a hum trying to act like I was thinking. However he didn't buy my act.

"You're lying aren't you?" I had to hold back a gulp when he said that.

"I assure you that… OH look! That girl is smoking hot! Call you later!~"

"WAi…" I shut my phone before hearing the rest of what he said.

"Hehehe… Sorry bro but I can't fix all your problems." Turning back to Azazel I saw that he was giving me a strange look. However I only grinned. "Well my friend it seems as though, my Bro has finally had contact with the supernatural. However it was with a fallen angel, two in fact. A certain Raynare and Dohnaseek?" I put my hands intertwined on the table. I meant business about the safety of my brother. My words to his credit did seem to bother him however.

Stroking his goatee he hummed a bit. "Well… that's rather interesting… That town is under devil control. The younger sister of the current Lucifer in fact… strange I sent no one there to investigate. Even after finding out young Issei had the booster gear. This was all due to you asking me not to by the way. Don't want to anger a dragon god now do I?" He gave out a toothy grin when saying that. One that I returned in kind.

"Yeah but still… I think you should send someone just in case. You know to check up on all of them. Maybe that six winged guy… what was his name? I can't seem to recall." Scratching his chin, he tried to remember the one specific person. Once remembering he snapped his finger in a "ah ha!" moment.

"Oh yes I remember now! The human hybrid, Lance Frost right? Yes I think he'll be an excellent choice, he strong yet not too strong. And he's around the age of the typical HighSchool student. I'll tell him to check as soon as we're done." I smiled at this, because despite what everyone says about Azazel. He's actually a good guy deep down. But for now I had to hear the rest of his story.

"Thanks but back to your story we were getting to the good part!" Giving a huge grin he began to his tail once again.

"So as I looked! I saw a beautiful woman with large…"

The black dragon the white cat

The black dragon

He hung up me… He hung up on ME! Overcome with frustration I threw my phone onto my desk. Clenching my fists I started to curse him out.

"Why that stupid over grown little ARGH!" The other two in my room were now looking at me in concern. Clearing his throat, as I stomped around my room attempting to pull my own hair out… Issei tried calming me down

"Hey listen Chris if you don't calm down and be a little quieter. You'll probably wake up Milly." That got me to stop instantly, because if there were two things I cared about most… they would be Milly and Koneko. So taking deep breaths, I calmed down enough to actually speak again.

"Alright I'm good, don't want to wake up the little sister now do I?" We all gave out a small laugh at that. "Alright then who would like to go first?" Since I've been living under the same roof as him for a few years… they all looked at me expectantly. I was confused until I realized they wanted me to go first.

"Oh… alright then." Clearing my I began my tale. "I suggest you two get comfortable, this might take a while. And also please leave questions till the end." They both nodded their heads as they moved to around on the bed. However Raynare ended up leaning into Issei, with her head on his shoulder. He didn't say anything but he was blushing a bit. Smirking I started to begin my story.

"Comfortable? Good! Well let's see… It all began over six billion years ago in another world." I couldn't help but chuckle at the looks on their faces. "Hmhm… Well yes unbelievable but the whole story will explain everything. You see in this other world there was a powerful being. This was The Dragon God. A powerful being that protected the earth… however it was not to last. Because an alien menace a devourer of worlds came. This being crashed into the earth and pretty much wiped out the dinosaurs. Along with the intelligent Reptite people that evolved naturally. During this the dragon god went in to do battle with the alien creature.

Eventually this being would be known as Lavos. It is sad however that the dragon lost and was devoured. Eventually it would also break off of Lavos, along with another piece called the frozen flame. This piece would choose a single person to accept its power. Those who were not accepted were turned to ash. And the being able to fuse with the frozen flame would be called a time devourer."

I took a breath while looking at my statues. "This time devourer wouldn't just eat that world's time. But all time in general! Now while Lavos itself would eventually be defeated. The devourer would live on, now while I'm still not keen on what happened. I do know that the dragon god now no more than a puppet. Was eventually split into six different dragons… they were white, black, red, green, yellow, and blue. The one who sealed them and separated them was the goddess known as fate." At this point I could tell they really wanted to ask me questions.

"Just hold off on for a little longer, I'm almost done." A bit dejectedly they nodded, and I continued. "Now while fate was said to be a goddess. It was in fact actually a very advanced computer program. It used time manipulation and "records" of fate, in order to make sure it would be created in the future. Eventually however a group of humans, managed to prove to the dragon "gods" that they were strong… strong enough to battle and defeat fate."

I shook my head at this before continuing. "However they were tricked. While fate was working to save mankind, the dragons were working to destroy it. Once fate was dead, the seal was broken and they could become one once more. They quickly took advantage of it, and brought out their own fortress from the depths of the ocean. Now being one they had all the power they needed. However it didn't count on one thing… It didn't expect the humans who defeated fate, to be strong enough to defeat it as well." I could tell they were quite into my tale now.

Their eyes were wide, and they were waiting with bated breath. Smiling I continued on…

"They quickly stormed the fortress, and took out all the elemental guardians in their way. At the top was the frozen flame. A red and orange jagged crystal like object, however in its center were eyes, yellow looking fleshy things. Now knowing its chosen's true intent it rejected him. And called forth the combined dragon! After a terrible battle that left the hero's exhausted they ended up victorious. However, their victory was not to last… because after the dragon god left. It went back to become one with the devourer again. But they still had hope, for a prophet and scientist named Balthazar gave them what they needed to battle it."

"He gave them a time egg, an object that was capable of sending them to the dimension beyond time. The very same place the time devourer made its home. Not wasting any more time as the fort became its true self again. They rushed to get the final weapon they needed. The Chrono Cross, an object made with the powers of all the dragons. Using it they defeated the time devourer and broke the cycle of hate. However not only did they free its true chosen one. But they also freed the other dragons." Now I could tell they were slowly starting to understand, what the true purpose of this story was.

"Once free they had so many questions. Like how did a bunch of humans. Beings that only evolved due to Lavos' influence, could do what they did? How could humans, defeat all these god like beings? How could humans, that destroyed so much, end up being the savior of all? They had no clue. So instead of becoming one again they decided to find out. So choosing another world they all felt out different humans. Ones that would possess the best affinity for their own element… this way they could understand, and find out the why of the human race. And so that is how I became to be, with the black dragon god's soul attached to mine."

I was finally done talking and my mouth was actually pretty dry at this point. The other two were just looking at me, not really knowing what to say. However it only made sense to me that Raynare broke the silence.

"Despite how unbelievable this all sounds… I think I actually believe you. But what I really don't get, is why it seemed as though pieces of your story were missing." Turning from Raynare to me Issei also seemed to want to know.

I could only rub my head sheepishly at this. "Well… the fusion and the years living inside me had dulled Fernus' memories. And yes that's the black dragon's name. So even if I wanted to I couldn't tell you everything. Sorry about that, when I asked him myself he really did try to remember." Raynare nodded her head in understanding. But while she wanted to know more about my history… Issei wanted to know more about my powers.

"So would you mind telling us what you did earlier? That was actually pretty sweet!" I chuckled at this, same old Issei.

"That was just my natural resistance, strength, and a gravity blow. You see as the black dragon I get the black element surprise, surprise! Anyway that allows me an assortment of powers. My personal favorites are my abilities over gravity. Fernus was actually strong enough to create a miniature black hole! So yeah gravity for the win!" I quickly developed a nervous look at what I thought of next. "Although he was also able to rip someone's soul out of their body and send it straight to hell…" Out of the corner of my eye I saw them scoot farther away from me.

Coughing into his hand Issei asked the question I was actually waiting for. Yet also dreading at the same time.

"So if you're so strong, why were you living out on the streets?" I grimaced at that, because that was not a topic I like talking about.

"Well… about two years before our parents adopted me and Milly… so about six years ago. My real parents were killed, after that me and Ulysses had a falling out with my real sister. Over some… philosophical disagreements. You see by some miraculous chance, Ulysses our eldest sibling got the Fire dragon god. While my sister got the Air dragon goddess, and well you know what I got. However the air dragon is a misnomer… she was actually the white dragon. The same as Ulysses was the red dragon. You see the only reason she was called that, was because she lived on air Dragon Island." They both nodded their heads in understanding at that.

Although Raynare was curious about something else. "What did you three disagree about?" I sighed at that, while rubbing the bridge of my nose with my left hand.

"Well you see that's a rather sore topic. And I'd rather not talk about it if you don't mind. All I can say is that she believed in power for one's own sake, while we believed in using it to protect others." I looked up and could see understanding in her violet eyes.

"Anyway after that, I and Ulysses split up. Deciding we wouldn't attract as much attention that way. We were right for the most part, although with me being ten… I really had no idea why he decided leaving me on my own was a good idea." At that both laughed nervously. Sighing I continued. "So a year after that I found Milly, no parents, no memories, nothing. Deciding I couldn't just leave her like that, I took her along. As for the rest of the story you already know that." Issei agreed with me although Raynare looked confused. Thankfully however since my voice was completely dry, my brother came to my rescue.

"What he means is that my parents found them and soon adopted them. I believe we were vacationing somewhere in Europe. But it's been so long that I've forgotten." Looking towards me in clarification I just shrugged.

"Don't look at me I was eleven. And don't even bother with Milly she was seven. However it is the reason why I don't use to many honorifics. I mean Japanese is my third language. My first language is English, and my second being dragon. Not that it really matters; the six of us were always able to learn any language." It was at this point, that Raynare seemed to have come to a conclusion of sorts.

"Wait a minute you said there were six of you right?" I nodded my head not seeing where she was going with this.

"Well earlier at the park you said something about… thinking that only you six. NOW Five! Were the only mythical things around? What did you mean by that?" I ground my teeth hearing her say that. I never meant for it to slip out like that.

But seeing how this wasn't going away, I thought might as well. "That's because there are only five of us left. You see the yellow dragon our leader of a sorts. Had just recently died, literally last weekend, it's also why the yellow dragon here is broken. You see each dragon has a set, just so he or she can keep an eye on each other. It also allows us to communicate, but that's for a whole other time." With me finally saying this out loud, my brother was finally able to understand why I was so upset.

"Your depression makes a whole lot more sense now." Hesitating he asked me a question that depressed me. "Were you close to him? Your leader I mean." All happy thoughts had pretty much gone out the window now. But still he deserved an answer and I gave him one.

"I was actually, we all were. You see when I said the colors for the dragons earlier. It was in order from the strongest to the weakest. Though the green and yellow were always debatable… however despite not being the strongest he was our leader because. Well… he was the oldest of us, like an old elderly and kind grandfather. He was like that to all of us, accept my sister who went off on her own. You see whenever we needed advice we could always ask him, and he'd have a great answer for us. But now he's been killed, and by unanimous vote the four of us still in the loop. Made Ulysses our leader, in other words… we were desperate."

Raynare and Issei gave me sympathetic smiles at that, although Issei had one last thing to ask me.

"Do you know who killed him?" I couldn't help it at that point, I turned around and only said a few words.

"Yes I know who killed Altus, but it doesn't matter now. He's gone and he wouldn't want us obsessing over revenge." They were about to say something but I cut them off. "And no! I want say anything else on the matter. But it is time for Raynare, to explain what all this fallen angel business is." Looking between both me and Issei, she sighed before beginning her explanation.

Omake one: Poker night

The spectator

The night was young and the players were restless. In front of them a large table, big enough for people five meters tall. However these weren't humans playing… NO! These were dragons, five of the six dragon gods to be precise. It was just after the monthly meeting, and they decided to just relax. Although for some that meant losing all their money…

"HAHA! I win again! Royal flush baby!" Currently it was a tiny red dragon on a stool who was winning. He had two orange horns on his head and two arms. He also stood on two legs and had no wings. His underbelly was also a dull orange. His voice was one of a boisterous teenage.

Grumbling a rather large black dragon stopped using his ability over gravity, to put his cards down. He had two dark grey horns on his head, and had huge bat like wings. He was also sitting down on his dark grey belly, while resting his head on his massive paws. When he spoke it was deep, gruff, and a bit serious.

"Are you sure you aren't cheating Ulysses? No one could ever be this lucky. I mean look! I'm one away from having four aces!" The tiny red dragon showed off a toothy grin, as he chuckled through his red snout.

"Sorry bro! But I don't need to cheat; lady luck is always with me!" The black dragon snorted before taking everyone's cards and shuffling them. All this was done through gravity manipulation. Others at the table included a strange green toad like creature with bat wings. He also had whiskers on his face, which looked like two long thin pieces to a mustache. It was akin to an old Chinese man's mustache in an action movie. His hands weren't webbed but were thin fingers with claws. He was holding up his cards with some plants. Another large figure was even odder.

He was a cross between a badge, mole, and an anteater. His back was covered in a mass of thick brown scales, and he also had no eyes. Yet he could see perfectly fine, which meant the others were weary of him whenever they played cards. However like the first dragon he too did not have wings. His underbelly was a brighter yellow, compared to his dull yellow sides. His cards were being held up with hands made of rock.

Then finally the last was a salamander like creature. It was blue with a light blue underbelly, and had darker blue spots on its back. She was currently resting her head on her webbed paws, while her red fin like protrusions on her head moved in agitation. Her tail was unique as it was like a fish's tail fin, although it was see through in the webbings and was red in color. It was also horizontal instead of vertical. This too was moving in agitation. Using Ice she was also able to hold her cards up. When she spoke it was calm and serene, but with a hint of anger.

"Ulysses, if you are cheating it won't end well for you." The green one nodded his head in agreement, although when he spoke it sounded like a lazy twenty years old.

"I must concur with Glacial on that one. After all you've already won from me all my food money for this month." Yeah it was safe to say… things weren't going well for the other dragons. However the yellow one spoke up with a soft and kind grandfatherly voice.

"Simmer down Juda. This game was supposed to be just a bit of fun!~ It was you who first decided to start betting things." At the elderly dragons rebuke Juda turned away mumbling. "Ah very good now let's continue, let's say winner gets all this round?" Just wanting to end the game the other three agreed, although Ulysses was just grinning.

"Now that's what I'm talking bout! One last draw! One last hand to win the pot! This is what gambling is truly all about! Don't you agree Chrissy!" At that name "Chrissy" growled a bit.

"Do not call me that. Now let's just get this over with. Also I'm being extra careful to make sure no one cheats. Now then, before we begin anyone want to fold?" Everyone shook their heads no. So giving the cards one last good shuffle he dealt them out. However no one expected what happened next.

"I got nothin…" Ulysses was surprised, he had made sure to give himself good cards. He was even extra careful to make sure Christopher didn't notice it. But somehow he got nothing. It was also the same for the rest of the group. Well… all but one that is.

Looking over to Altus everyone was surprised to see his hand. "Whoohoo! Exactly four aces, two kings, and a queen. Seems like I win this round kids!~" A single thought ran through the others minds.

Wasn't he the one who called winner takes all? Although it was obvious that he cheated, no one knew how he did it so no one called him out on it. However if one were to look at the black dragons face, they'd see a slight grin. Once everyone had thrown in their money, they left and said goodbye. Leaving only two behind, the black dragon and Altus. Finally letting out their laughter, it took a while to simmer down. When they did, they turned to each other smiling. Although Altus' was hard to see sense his mouth was thin and circular.

Slapping the younger dragon on the back with his badger like paw he spoke. "Well my boy I do say that was a perfect game tonight. But how did you know Juda would start betting things Christopher?" Christopher just smiled.

"Despite the way he sounds, he's actually kind of a thrill seeker. And gambling is more of an art of luck and not skill. So I knew he'd bet just to spice things up." The elder nodded his head sagely.

"Well done, well done. Now I believe I owe you half the winnings here?" Christopher just nodded his head in agreement. Chuckling he gave him a bag with his earnings. Taking it they said goodbye to each other.

The black dragon the white cat

Time the next day…

It was the weekend and a young man's voice could be heard.

"Hey Mil Chan I got a surprise for you!" Being the only thing she heard Milly ran to her older brother's room.

She quickly opened the door in excitement. "Yes what is it Chris Nii?! What's the surprise?!" Christopher chuckled before answering.

"I'll show you… but you have to close your eyes first." Doing exactly as head said, she waited with baited breath. However she was curious when she felt something around her neck. "Alright you can open your eyes now." Opening them and looking down she gasped.

"It's beautiful! Where did you get this?!" Around her neck was a silver chained necklace, with a silver diamond pendent attached to it. On the pendent was a dark blue sapphire. At her questioning look he ruffled her hair a bit.

"Oh don't worry too much about it… I just got lucky is all…" She tilted her head in confusion when his smirk became visible. But receiving such a beautiful gift she didn't question it too much. Christopher however was having some other thoughts.

I think I'll give Koneko's hers when I ask her out.

Slayer: I'm awake I swear this time!

Judan: Nobody cares if you fall asleep at the keyboard. But seriously we're going to kill ourselves at this rate!

Shadow: Yep it's already Two thirty in the morning. This means who knows how any spelling mistakes!

Judan: Yeah that's kind of bad…

Slayer: I'll look over them later sheesh! But first let's talk about the chapter. Shadow you're up.

Shadow: Yeah, yeah… So let's recap! Issei received good advice for his date. And we added in an actual family date in here.

Judan: Yep my uncle took my aunt out on a date, just to see the lobsters fight. They've now been married twenty years. You should try it sometime!

Slayer: Yeah not my thing… We also had Christopher show off his power a bit. Although as he said, it was like sending out a small short ranged beacon.

Shadow: Yep and his brother is a jerk, and some of you might be wondering what he's actually planning. I mean shouldn't he have told Chris about the other supernatural beings?

Slayer: Nope he's on his own, just like he killed Dohnaseek on his own. Funny how things turn out, Raynare turned mildly good thanks to Mittelt's disappearance, while Dohnaseek was still battle crazed. Go figure…

Christopher: Yeah I also explained all I knew about my heritage. Plus you got to see all the dragons, although if you need a better description… Feel free to look up the CronoCross dragon gods on the internet.

Ulysses: Ah the internet… what would we do without you?

Judan: Not write stories? Anyway I'm sure most of you already know Milly's real identity. If not keep reading…

Shadow: Yep now it's late so let's sign off while we still can.

Slayer: Okay fine… Anyway this had been Dark Guard Productions signing off!
