Slayer: Ugh… we're back… sort of…

Judan: Finally recovered from being poisoned?

Slayer: Sort of… I'm still feeling pretty out of it physically, but my brain is functioning again.

Shadow: Yeah… so how was it being food poisoned for the first time in your life?

Slayer: I hate it, never again will I trust the left overs my grandmother gives us. Unless someone eats it first.

Judan: Huh… so you inadvertently got poisoned by your grandma… As usual your luck is abysmal.

Slayer: There was always a reason I kept my luck at one while playing fallout.

Christopher: As much as this explains where we've been… I think we need to get a move on.

Judan: He's right, and by that I mean you're right.

Slayer: Please don't complicate things.

Judan: But it's true! All but a few characters are technically you! The rest are either mine or the other members.

Shadow: Let's forget about that and just get on with the story, as for any comments all questions will be answered in story.

Judan: Yeah funny that it ended up happening like that. But to everyone else thank you for your support.

Slayer: Yes thank you and we'll try to keep writing for as long as we can. You can now do the disclaimer Koneko.

Koneko: Alright… once again we here at Dark Guard productions own nothing, except for OC's and reality building concepts. Everything else belongs to their respective owners. Now without further ado…

Everyone: Here's the story!

Slayer: I think I'll run to the bathroom now before my stomach eats itself…

Judan: Not necessary to say that at this time.

Chapter Four: I own this Town!

The White Cat

I could not believe what I was doing at this moment in time. Here I was lying in the same bed, as my boyfriend on the first day we've confessed. Worse off I was almost naked, and was the one who suggested it in the first place! I couldn't help but blame Akeno for these current circumstances; it was she who originally planted the idea in my head. It was because of these thoughts, and my own embarrassment, that made me unable to fall asleep. Even if I pretended to just for his sake. However as I felt his arms around me I couldn't help but feel safe. I knew at least that he wouldn't do anything to me.

So I at least had that comfort, although… in some part of my mind I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. But that had to deal with more of my devil and Nekoshou instincts. Still during the night we had moved around a bit, currently I was resting my head on his chest. He had his left arm around me, holding me gently. I liked that, but I still couldn't fall asleep!

So instead I thought about how much I had changed, since meeting my boyfriend. I know that before meeting him I was in a dark place. Rias and the others had helped me sure, but I truly didn't begin to walk to the light until I met Christopher. It was he who helped me to finally move on from my sister's abandonment of me. It was thanks to his strength at overcoming his own abandonment, which helped me to eventually overcome mine. Although I still felt resentment for my sister, he said I didn't need to forgive her completely. Just to move on from it, though I still don't understand how he handled it.

He said that despite everything he doesn't hate his sister. And he also said he doesn't hate the one who killed his parents. Personally I don't understand it; I couldn't understand how he just didn't despise the world. Especially now that I've learned what he really is. With his powers he could literally do anything, he could also find anyone to be his partner in life. Yet he ended up choosing me…

While I am extremely happy and couldn't feel any luckier. I don't get why he chose someone who was, too weak to move on by herself. I also knew that there were plenty of other girls vying for his attention. I couldn't help but sigh at that thought. Like Kiba Christopher was pretty popular, despite not trying to be. He was known as the helpful prince at the school. Mainly because he did his best to be kind, and help everyone that needed it. Of course there were a few that acknowledged him, and yet didn't say anything about him. Mainly because of his older brother, one of the members of the perverted trio.

Continuing to think about Christopher, I unconsciously propped myself up and bit using my arms. I then proceeded to just observe his face, he was sleeping soundly. I myself would have loved to sleep but as I said… I was thinking too much for that to happen. I also had my ears and tails out, which was unusual for me. But for some reason it just felt right showing them off to him. I couldn't help but let the blush, which had disappeared thanks to my musings return. That was because I was remembering the hug he gave me, while saying how adorable I was.

I giggled a bit while remembering that he once told me, he liked cute things. Leaning down I gave him a kiss on the cheek. It was then that I decided that I shouldn't worry about why he chose me. Though I'd still like to know, I won't fret over it. Because as long as I felt safe with him, I decided that it didn't matter too much. That was when I heard his door creak open and Mrs. Hyoudou peeked inside. At this my blush deepened tremendously as her eyes widened. Not that I blame her, our current state of dress, and the position we were in suggested quite a few things.

Because of this I couldn't help but yell out to her quietly. "It's not what it looks like! I swear we didn't do anything, in fact I was the one who suggested we sleep like this!" After I was done defending me and Christopher, we just stared at each other for a bit. After thirty seconds of awkward silence, her gaze softened as she quietly walked into the room.

It was then that she finally spoke. "You don't have to worry, I believe you. My sons too much of a gentleman to do anything you wouldn't want. Issei's actually the same way, but you wouldn't be able to tell without really getting to know him." That only surprised me a little, seeing how Christopher had said the same thing before. Although I didn't truly believe him at the time, I just thought that he was defending him. However with Mrs. Hyoudou believing me, I gave out a small breath of relief before questioning her.

"Thanks for trusting me, but why are you in here then?" At my words her expression turned sad before answering me.

"Call it a habit that I can't seem to get rid of." Taking a deep breath she went over to sit down in Christopher's desk chair before continuing. "I don't know if he's told you this before, but when we first adopted him he never slept. Even when he really needed to, and because of that he was also a lot angrier back then as well. He used to snap at almost every little thing." I felt myself becoming intrigued by this, because as he had told me a little bit of this. It was interesting hearing it from another's perspective. So I sat up slowly as to not disturb him and covered myself with the blanket as I listened.

Despite my state she didn't question it only continuing with her story. "When we asked him why he never slept, he always said something about nightmares. It was thanks to Milly that we found out the why of it. You see back when it was just the two of them, he had actually woke up yelling from a nightmare. Scaring the poor dear to death, after a few more times of this, he decided to stop sleeping until he could manage them better. As such it became a habit to allow Milly to sleep peacefully herself. Eventually when he did fall asleep we often heard him talking in his sleep. Always asking for his mother's forgiveness."

My eyes actually widened in surprise, because that was something he didn't tell me. If she saw my surprise she didn't comment.

But instead kept going. "Eventually it just became natural to me to just check on him, and hold him as he had his nightmares. Eventually I came to know quite a bit about him, things which he doesn't know that I know. Though I can guess from your appearance that you know his secret yourself?" I blinked for a bit, until I realized what she was talking about. My cat ears were still out, so she knew I wasn't human and she knew Christopher was a dragon. As I was about to say something she raised her right hand to stop me.

I was confused until she smiled at me and began to talk again. "I'm sure you have your reasons in hiding yourself. Just like I'm sure my son does. In truth the only thing keeping himself from telling us, is his own guilt. Because of his nightmares, I know that he blames himself for his parent's death. And I also know who killed them. But until he decides to actually want to talk… I won't force him. So I offer the same to you… tell me when you want to. But in return promise me that you'll look out for Christopher, you can do that right?"

I was genuinely surprised at her words, and yet I also felt a warm feeling inside me. I could tell that I would be truly accepted in this family. Even though I've only just been here for a single day. So with a smile of my own I gave her my answer.

"Of course Mrs. Hyoudou! I'll always be by his side!" At my words she started to chuckle quietly before speaking.

"I'm sure you will, but now I can see some of the things he told me about. You really do have a beautiful smile." I blinked a few times in surprise; I didn't know that he always found my smile beautiful. "You know… he told me he first became interested in you for your eyes and hair. He said he liked their color, but then when he saw you smile for the first time… He said he was in love!~" With each word she said I couldn't help that my face became redder. He had told me he had like my eyes, and hair before. But it was different hearing it out someone else's mouth.

Seeing my tomato shaded face she laughed, which only proceeded to embarrass me further. When she was done she stood up and then spoke her final words.

"You know just talking to you makes me believe that you're the one for my son. As such just call me mother, or mom. After all you'll be the one to marry him later in life." Again she laughed at me as she saw my dazed expression. When we first began to talk I didn't think it would've ended up like this. I was knocked out of my daze as I heard the door begin to close.

Looking over I saw that she was closing it, before stopping to speak to me one last time. "Now don't give me grandchildren just yet. That'd only make me feel older than what I am." I sputtered a bit as she continued speaking. "But for now I'll bid you good night Koneko chan."

As she was about to close it I spoke softly to her. "Good night as well… mom…" Her smiled widened as she closed that door. Leaving me alone with the somehow still sleeping dragon. Looking back down to him from my sitting position I smiled, I felt happier than I've ever felt. And it was all thanks to my wonderful new boyfriend. Laying back down I rested myself on top of his chest, feeling his steady breathing as his chest rose and fell. I didn't know why but it was rather calming.

But the talk with his mother over, I felt as if all my worries were gone. I may not know what the future might hold, but what I did know was that I would stay by his side. So with those thoughts I finally fell asleep.

The black dragon the white cat

The Black Dragon

Waking up in the morning, I felt as if I've never had a better nights rest than now. Yawning a bit I felt a weight on my chest, and looked down. I smiled at Shirone who was sleeping lightly on my chest. Her breath tickling my own, as hers rose and fell with each one. I could also see her white cat ears out, and I couldn't help but scratch them lightly. At the purring this caused, I chuckled a bit but continued to scratch them. Now while my left hand was occupied with petting her, my right was just wrapped around her gently. Now usually I'd get up as soon as I woke up.

But seeing her like this, I decided that it couldn't hurt to wait until she, awoke before getting ready for the day. Another reason was because I just felt too comfortable, and she just looked too adorable at this moment. So instead I laid there scratching her ears and gently rubbing her back. It was during this time that Fernus began talking to me.

[It seems I was wrong to doubt. But thou knowest that thou hast one last thing to do.] I mentally sighed at his words knowing that he was correct. But I was hesitant on it.

Yeah I know, but remember Shirone has already been reincarnated as a devil. We don't know what would happen if we did the last step. The last stepped being referred to, was what made her being my mate official. It was quite important for dragons, more so for the dragon gods. We had to bite her and "mark" her as our mate. This in turn allows us to feel when they are in trouble, feel where they are, and also gives some of our power to them. This ensured that they would be able to protect themselves until we got there. However for us it would be quite a bit different.

All information that we had on this came from Altus. Who had already married quite a few different women, during his long life. What he said was that some of our divine aura would also transfer to our mate. Turning them into a demi- god of sorts. They would gain some of our resistance to our own element, and also increase how long they would live. However Shirone was a Nekoshou turned Devil, so we had no idea what would happen to her. This was because the evil pieces couldn't reincarnate a god or divine being. So for the moment I decided it would be best to hold off on that.

Because of the points I brought up Fernus ended up agreeing with me. Although I could feel him getting a bit impatient, as the embodiment of my own divine dragon instincts… he was prone to both be wise, but also rather instinctual. Trust me I had to force him down as he kept yelling at me, to make Shirone mine on the park bench yesterday. As I continued to think about yesterday I had to wonder about something. That something was about Shirone's dual names. I mean sure Koneko matched her in a way, but Shirone was a rather nice name. Plus it sounded more official to me.

I personally didn't understand why she had two names; I mean Koneko was a name one would give to a household cat…. I felt my mind go blank, as it started to work faster than what I could keep up with. When I had my own thoughts again, I had concluded a reason for it. Personally I just hoped I was wrong, because if not…

[There shall be hell to pay!] I whole heartedly agreed with Fernus on this. However before we could discuss our thoughts further, Shirone started to stir. This quickly evaporated our anger, as she sat up letting the blanket fall off of her. She gave a cute cat like yawn as she stretched. She then looked down at me and smiled, before lying back down on my chest.

When she finally spoke it was still a little groggy. "Good morning Chri Kun.~" I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the new nickname. But in the end I question it, and brought my left hand up to scratch her ears again before talking.

"And good morning to you Neko Chan, did you sleep well?" She purred from my ministrations before answering me.

"I slept wonderfully; you're quite comfortable you know." Her words came out as a fact, and I couldn't help but chuckle at her declaration. After a few seconds she pushed herself forward a bit and gave me a kiss. This lasted for a bit all the while Fernus was yelling at me.

[Take her now! Make her our mate!] I promptly ignored him although; with our current positions it was kind of hard to do. After a few more seconds of our make out session, she pulled back. Then she promptly went back to resting on my chest. I too ended up scratching her ears making her purr once again. Looking at the clock I saw that it was already nine thirty. I would usually be up at this time, but I really didn't care at this moment.

[Much too comfortable.] I mentally agreed with my dragon half, whom had stopped yelling at me. Unfortunately all good things have to come to an end. Plus I knew we had quite a few things to do today. Unfortunately a couple of those things will not be pleasant. A conversation consisting of me telling Rias, whose territory this really belonged to… was at the top of that. It was after all thanks to the wards, which Ulysses put up around the city that kept stray devils out. Even if I only found out about those particular ones, the day we had our first training session.

It was more evidence of him lying to me. Before I never noticed because I didn't bother, looking for anything unusual. Once again I can't help but feel stupid about that. Once I had finally had my eyes opened, I began to notice pretty much everything. I quickly shook my head to rid myself of those thoughts, before I depressed myself.

I then looked down to Shirone before speaking to her softly. "Sorry but as wonderful as this is… we need to get up now." I heard some grumbling before she spoke.

"Mmm… I don't want to, much too comfortable…" I chuckled at her response, before coming up with a way to get her to start moving. Using my gravity manipulation I made her start floating, making her yelp in surprise. I then stood up quickly, and ended the spell before catching her in my arms bridal style. Even with the glare she gave me I could only laugh, before kissing her. Despite still being slightly mad at me she returned it. After which I set her down, and we both went to get ready for the day.

The black dragon the white cat

By the time it was ten o'clock the two of us, had walked out of the bathroom with slightly red faces. Seeing how my new girlfriend insisted that we take a bath together… I had started to think she was secretly a pervert, or her instincts were similar to mine. Only that she didn't repress them quite as well as I did. But because of those said instincts I really didn't care anymore. All I could say was that her with her rook piece, she was actually able to give me a good message. Normally my own dragon resistance wouldn't let me feel anything, from one given by a normal human.

This was the case for all the dragons, so it ended up falling to either Juda, or Glacial to give us regular checkups. This was mainly because the green and blue elements had the best healing spells. In other words they both became our private practice doctors. This was good, because we couldn't exactly go to a normal doctor, without raising suspicion.

We actually had an incident eight years back in America… we had ended up mind wiping not only the hospitals staff, but also the swat team that broke in, and the FBI and CIA agents that had investigated. Yeah the whole thing was quite the mess… but the funny thing was that, it was actually Glacial and my sister who instigated the whole thing.

It was funny because they were always, the most cautious out of all of us. So for the next year they were the subject of our teasing's. I gave an involuntary chuckle at those thoughts while Shirone looked up at me. I just smiled back at her while putting my left arm around her. She accepted the embrace and scooted closer to me. Currently she was wearing her tights from yesterday, with one of my white dress shirts. This was because her other clothes were being washed right now. I had to admit there was a certain appeal to her current outfit.

[I thinkest that thy brothers are as said… rubbing off on thou.] I also had to admit that what he said was completely true. But that didn't mean I would be peeking on the girls locker room. Or heavens forbid, going to some shady brothel any time soon. Besides I had Shirone here with me, so both things were invalid to me. She was everything I could want, despite Ulysses' and Issei's talk about having harems. Although for his part Issei, was trying to actually change a bit for Raynare's sake. He was still a pervert sure… but I actually haven't heard anything about him, peeking on the kendo club during the last few days of the week.

This was an interesting miracle of itself, since he always peeked on them. He even once tried to peek on the first years with his buddies. Unfortunately for them… I overheard their plan and beat the crap out of them. You see Shirone was in that particular gym class…. Okay so I maybe a little overprotective, but I wasn't as bad as Juda about his younger sister… Sheesh! Now there's a bad case of siscon if there ever was one. His sister's name is Keno and we're good friends actually.

She had greeted me with a friendly hug once, and he had afterwards threatened me about touching her again. Needless to say, she beat him up herself after that. I sighed inwardly at all of the dragons. Each one of us had a personality quirk, Ulysses was like Issei, Altus liked pranking people, Juda has a sister complex, my own sister had a superiority complex, I had a thing for cuteness, and then Glacial was a complete bookworm.

Some dragon gods we are... I have to wonder if all the other gods have strange quirks? (S/N Cue sneezing from every god in DXD universe.) After a few more steps both of us had ended up in the dining room. Those already in there included everyone in the know. And though Issei and Milly said good morning happily, Raynare's, and Shirone's greetings sounded rather nervous. More than likely because Shirone was a reincarnated devil, and Raynare was a fallen angel. Personally I wasn't about to let their greetings slide.

So I put my left hand on top of Shirone's head while I addressed everyone. "Okay everyone as you know this is Koneko Toujou my girlfriend. Now I expect that as long as you're in this city, that you'll treat each other nicely. Consider Kuoh a neutral zone for the time being. Because of that I will stop any fighting that breaks out understand?" It wasn't so much of a threat as just a light warning. Still everyone gave their agreement, although Shirone looked at me strangely after I said the town was neutral. I'd have to explain the situation over an early lunch. So as I pulled out a chair for Shirone to sit at then I left for the kitchen.

While I started cooking I spoke. "Alright now everyone in this room knows about me, along with the supernatural right?" I received a few nods as I got out a pot; I was actually planning of making Fungi pasta. So as I got out the pan I also got out an onion and a carton of mushrooms. "Now today will be a busy day, since we all will be meeting with Rias to rectify a few things." I paused in my speaking to chop up the onion before I continued. "Nothing against her personally but this town is mine, I'm stronger and I've been here longer. Also Ulysses may have put an anti-stray devil ward up, around the town without my knowledge."

Shirone spoke up in surprise at that bit of knowledge. "That explains why we never got any order to eliminate them while in this town. But how did he set the ward up? We've tried multiple times to come up with an actually feasible ward for that. However all of them usually also kept out humans and other devils as well." I thought about her question as I chopped up the mushrooms, while I let the onions sauté in the pot with butter.

After a bit I answered her. "While I don't have a true answer, I can guess it has something to do with their corrupted black element. As Raynare told me stray devils, are always corrupted by their power mutating them. So since you guys don't focus on pure elemental power, I can only guess that is why nothing you have has worked." She seemed to accept this answer as I added in the mushrooms, and watched as the juice cooked down. While that was happening I went and got out a can of clams. I opened them, and then started on the noodles.

As I put a large pot of water on the stove to boil I continued talking. "Anyway besides me and Koneko I need the rest of you there as well. Also Raynare I'll need you to try and contact your leader, in order to find out if your orders were correct. Because based on what you told me, I don't think he'd order you to kill Issei." She seemed to agree with me but gave a nervous nod; she seemed a bit unsure of the plan. Not that I blame her, I mean what if her orders were to kill Issei?

That'd be rather terrible, since that means she would have to choose either him, or the Grigori where all her friends were. It didn't help that she loves Issei as much as I love Shirone.

After that there really wasn't much else to discuss, so everyone began to talk amongst themselves. Milly was especially interested in talking to Shirone. It brought a smile to my face when I saw how well they got along. After all if I was to marry someone, they'd have to get along with my younger sister.

When I finally was done with the pasta, I made a Caesar salad and set out bowls and plates for them (The full recipe and steps to the pasta will be put at the end). I then got out some forks and knives and went out to distribute everyone's servings. However I did make sure to give Shirone the most. I ended up sitting to her right while Milly was on her left.

As per usual everything I had made was gone in fifteen minutes. With Shirone eating the most although… I did have to feed her what was left of mine, when she was done with hers. Milly and Raynare squealed something about it being cute, but we decided to not bother trying to make a scene about it. However it was because of that moment, Raynare and Shirone started to relax around each other. Now knowing that they wouldn't break the others neck, while they weren't looking.

I already knew that they wouldn't do that to one another. But they didn't know that, as the sides they were on, have been in a cold war since before they were born. Because of this I would truly be surprised if they got along immediately. Still if Raynare and Shirone are going to be part of the family, they need to be able to get along.

Now with everyone done eating, and getting along nicely. I could now get up and put away the dishes. Once that was done we would all get ready to head out. I planned on wearing the clothes I wear while training with the others. Issei wore a red t-shirt with a white button up short sleeved shirt over it, with brown pants and white sneakers. Milly wore her black dress as she usually did. And Raynare wore the clothes she had on, during our first training session.

Shirone however surprised me a bit. She didn't wear everything she wore yesterday. Instead she only had on the skirt, tights, belt, and boots. For some reason she decided to wear my shirt with the belt over it to tighten it down. Seeing how it was a little big on her. Shirone also rolled up the sleeves to mid arm as well. But as I expected she still wore her cat hair clips, and also wore the necklace I gave her. It was at this moment that I decided to share with her, a couple secrets dealing with it.

As we were in our… I mean my room alone I called her by her real name. "Hey Shirone I think you should know, about some of the extra properties the necklace has. I didn't tell you yesterday because we ended up being a little distracted." She blushed a bit at my comment but gestured to me to continue. "Well the first is just a shield charm. Nothing special but it'll help protect you from harm. The second is a just a little extra thing I put in for fun. For it to work just hold it with your hand while thinking of a color." A bit skeptical at first she did what I said, and eventually the diamond turned orange.

Amazed by it she jumped at me with a hug before speaking. "This is even better than I thought! And it was pretty great before, thank you so much!" I smiled brightly at her words and returned the hug, which then ended with a short kiss. Once we were finally done getting ready, we met the others in near the entrance of the house.

Looking at everyone I spoke. "Well then know that today will be the start of change; hopefully it will end up being a good change in time. As for now, let's head off we have a lot of work to do." Everyone nodded their heads in determination as Issei opened the door. Since I was the last one out, I both closed it and locked it.

The black dragon the white cat

As we stood outside the ORC room, I couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. However it wasn't coming from any worry that they could hurt us… It came from the worry that something, might happen that could hurt Shirone. Not physically but emotionally, and I for one would do everything I could to prevent that. So taking one last breath, and feeling everyone behind me I knocked on the door. I felt Shirone take hold of my left hand as we waited. I appreciated the gesture and it calmed me down slightly.

Eventually the door opened showing Akeno Himejima. For some reason she was still wearing her school uniform, despite it being the weekend. By her expression she was happy to see Shirone, but was surprised by the rest of us. Eventually she narrowed her eyes on Raynare and then on Milly. I could understand Raynare a bit, but the glare made Milly hide behind Issei.

Personally I wasn't about to let that slide and spoke up. "Hello Himejima Sempai, we're here to discuss a few things. So I'd appreciate it if you didn't glare at my sister." She quickly turned to me surprised, and then turned to Shirone who only nodded her head. More than likely she was asking if we were trustworthy. Seeing this confirmation she began to smile, as she stepped out of the door way. Giving us enough room to get in, without the use of force of course.

Looking around the room I decided it looked rather unique. All over the walls were runes of some sort, then on the floor a was a circle filled with them. Other than that there were a couple of doors, a shower in the corner for some reason… A few books shelves, two couches with a table in between them, a small kitchen area, there were also two recliner chairs, and then finally a large desk and chair. This was currently being occupied by Rias Gremory, who had looked up at us in surprise. Shirone being the only one part of the peerage, walked up to her before speaking.

"I'm back Buchou and I've also brought a few people, who would like to speak to you about some important matters." She looked between all of us before sighing and nodding her head. It seemed that after the whole debacle with Kiba, that she was expecting something like this.

After a few moments we were all siting on a couch. Or more precisely Milly was sitting on my right, while Issei and Raynare sat on my left. With Raynare sitting on Issei's left, Shirone however… well she ended up sitting on my lap. Not that I cared, she seemed comfortable leaning back into me. So really that's all I cared about. Although… the shocked looks on Akeno, and Rias' faces were amusing. After everyone was settled in I decided to get the meeting going.

"Alright let me start by saying I know what all of you are, that includes the student council." At my words they became quite surprised, and looked towards Shirone who didn't act up at all.

Rias was the first to recover and question me. "So if you know what we are, then would you care to explain why you never said anything until now?"

That was simple to answer so I spoke uncaringly. "I didn't know about you guys at all until earlier last week. When I turned the fallen angel Dohnaseek into a corpse. I wasn't exactly happy that he was trying to kill Issei and Raynare. On their first date too…" After recovering from her shock once again Rias questioned me further.

"So you were the one responsible for the ashes and feather we found? I find it hard to believe that a normal human could do that. So that brings up another question… what are you? And please tell the truth, we'd rather not force you to tell us. You are after all in our territory, and know quite a lot about us." I had to admit that Rias was a lot smarter than she seemed. But still her words irked me, because A… She couldn't hurt me if she tried, B this city was mine, and C… She had no right to speak to me like that. Truly if it wasn't for Shirone, I might've done something to quell her arrogance.

But seeing how these two in front of her were important to her… I decided to use words instead of gravity spells.

"A rather poor attitude to have towards one's own guests. Also quite arrogant in saying you could harm me, or saying this town is yours…" Her face contorted in anger, and she was about to say something but I cut her off. "This town was mine before you even stepped foot in it. Now normally I wouldn't have any problem with you. But after figuring out that you would've let my brother die, and then reincarnated him later. Thereby ensuring his loyalty to you… Let's just say my opinion of you is rather low at this point."

To say she was shocked at this point would be an understatement. It was a little amusing watching them, try to figure out how I discovered their plan. To be honest it was rather easy to work out. The flier the devil dressed girl gave Issei was probably the biggest clue. After studying it for a bit, it wasn't too hard to find out what it was meant for. It had a summoning circle on it, one that would be activated by desires.

Now while I wasn't a master on teleportation magic, or even runes and seals in general. Fernus had taught me enough to be at least proficient at them. The second clue was when Raynare, told us about the issues going on in-between their factions. The last one was when everyone had believed Issei was dead. The only ones who would know that would be… The occult research club, along with the student council. Who if I wasn't mistaken were also devils. Piece them together with what Raynare told us about the evil piece system. Then you get to the conclusion I got to.

To be honest if it wasn't for Shirone I'd probably be trying to break them in half. As I've stated before I don't like it when someone, tries to harm my precious people. Speaking of Shirone… Rias' gaze fell on her, more than likely she suspected her of telling me everything.

I couldn't have that so I started speaking again. "You don't have to give her that look; I'd figured the whole thing out myself. You did after all leave quite an easy trail to follow." A condescending smirk appeared on my face as I continued. "I mean really? You declared Issei dead without even checking? A bit too much of a rushed decision don't you think? Not to mention your flier was a decent clue to the whole thing. Next time just ask the guy to join up instead of setting him up to die." I ended my little lecture with a deep frown, showing how much I disliked her for what she did.

As she adopted a guilty face she spoke. "Yes I understand what you're saying, and for what it's worth I am truly sorry about the whole thing. Still…" As she continued speaking her face turned back into one of anger. "I must ask what gives you the authority to claim this town, and to also insult my strength?!" As if to prove her point she stood up and sent out some of her aura, trying to get a rise from us. However I wasn't affected because I was much stronger. As for the others they weren't affected either, already used to my overwhelming energy. Shirone was also fine having already felt it multiple times.

So instead of shaking in fear like she expected I laughed. "Hahaha! Sorry but you need to do a lot better than that. Here, this is how it's done." As soon as I was done speaking I sent my own aura at her. However unlike her I can focus it, as such only Rias felt my draconic energy crashing down on her. Because of the amount I let off her knees got wobbly, and she fell down back on the couch sweating.

Satisfied I let up allowing her to breath easily again, however now she looked at me fearfully. She also looked around her wondering how no one else was affected. As for Akeno she was by her side quickly while also glaring at me. Even Shirone was looking up at me a bit angrily. But I rectified that by petting her head softly.

Also my next words also helped. "Okay first please don't give me those looks, I only did that because Gremory tried to do it to us. Secondly I held back quite a bit, if I wanted to I could've stopped her breathing. But as there are thing to discuss, and she is Koneko Chans king so I let her off easy." While my words and petting were enough to placate Shirone, Rias and Akeno were still staring at me suspiciously.

Eventually Rias sighed before speaking. "Alright… let's get back to the subject at hand. First I'd like to know why you said this town was yours." Liking that we were back on track I explained my reasoning.

"Well first is that I've been here longer than you have, secondly my brother set up a barrier that keeps out stray devils, and thirdly I'm stronger than you and most of your race." Though that might have been a bit of a stretch… it was also true that based on what I've felt, from every devil I've encountered so far. That they all have innate Black elements even the reincarnated ones. So basically at most, their attacks will only do half damage to me, if at all. Basically I was the ultimate anti-devil weapon. Not that I planned on attacking them, or joining any faction whatsoever.

But back to Rias, you see although she seemed to understand my first two points… even if she looked surprised on the second. My third one made her angry again, no doubt thinking I was rather arrogant in saying that. But as I said it wasn't, all of what I said was based on pure facts. But like I expected she didn't believe me on that last point.

So what she said next wasn't really surprising. "Oh really now? Don't you think that you're a little to over-confident, perhaps a little arrogant in saying that?"

I only shook my head before answering. "Nope, not at all. Though I agree saying I'm more powerful than them might be a stretch. The fact is that most of them wouldn't be able to ever scratch me, is quite true. Even if your Maou's would use their strongest attacks on my, only one of them could hurt me. And she's the weakest of the Maou's." The one I was talking about was Serafall Leviathan, instead of using regular devil magic. She instead used ice with it; I suspected that this also gave her a secondary blue element.

Still my comments made Rias angrier. "Are you saying my brother Sirzechs Lucifer, the strongest devil alive wouldn't be able to hurt you? Yet Serafall Leviathan Sona's sister could? Sorry but that logic seems a bit flawed." While I was intrigued that they were both siblings of a Maou, I needed to continue with the current topic.

And so I brought up the final bit of information I would reveal. "Actually it isn't flawed at all! You see it is only because of her ice magic that she could remotely harm me. I'm immune to almost all demonic energy attacks. So because your brother uses the power of destruction, it'd be useless on me. It's just the extra ice element put in that could hurt me. But the spell would still be extremely weakened." By the looks on their faces, I could tell Rias and Akeno didn't believe me. Not that I really cared but I wasn't about to tell them I'm a dragon god just yet.

If they didn't know by my earlier statements, than it meant that so far… the others have tried to keep out of the supernatural world. This meant I could keep us a secret for a bit longer. Until something forced me to go full out, like my sister coming to try and make me join her again. This was prone to happen sooner or later, especially with the death of Altus. So yeah that'd be a cause for an alarm.

However Rias deciding she had enough of me, turned to Shirone. "Koneko how can you just sit there not acting surprised at all? I mean he is lying right?" Turning to Rias she shook her head before speaking.

"No he's telling the truth Buchou. I'd also appreciate it if you didn't call him a liar." This seemed cowed Rias a bit while Shirone continued talking. "Buchou he didn't come to fight, only to reach a compromise." Personally I didn't mind if a fight broke out, but that was just my instincts, basically Fernus. Were telling me, to put Rias in her place by force if need be. But seeing how Shirone wouldn't like that… both me and a reluctant Fernus decided against it. As for Rias… seeing how her rook was siding with me left her a bit stumped.

But seeing how she trusted me Rias spoke with some conviction. "Alright let's say I believe you, what exactly do you want?" At her words I smiled before answering.

"First off you're allowed to continue as you have been. Seeing how you've harmed no one so far." Rias nodded her head in understanding, and she looked a bit more relieved to. Still I wasn't done so I continued talking. "Secondly, as this is my territory it will be neutral. As such all comings and goings must be put forward to me. You can still leave at any time just inform me. However if any high profile people were to come… I'd like to be informed, that way I can prepare accordingly. Plus they'd have to meet with me first. With you being the younger sister of the current Lucifer, that shouldn't be too hard."

She bit her lip slightly in worry, but my next words calmed her. "Don't worry too much; I plan on doing this with all factions that wish to enter. Not just the devils, plus this way you won't have to worry about defending yourselves. Because if anyone comes her unannounced, I could give you full permission to do as you see fit. As such no repercussions could be put on you or your faction. You could just say that the one who controls the town told you to take care of the threat." Thinking of the implication of my words she smiled viciously while nodding her head positively.

Basically I just gave her permission to do whatever, she wanted without causing another war. As long as she brought it up with me first. However I wasn't quite done yet so I continued.

"Secondly If it's possible I'd like a house built somewhere in town. One where we could move into, and also house important people and hold meetings in. It would be easier to keep track of things like that. Now finally, and this includes Sitri san, I want a meeting with both of you, every month in this house detailing what you've done. It's only to make sure you're not doing anything to terrible. But seeing how you two don't seem to be too bad, despite your latest failed recruitment operation. I don't really expect you to do anything." Secretly this was also to make some more room, for Raynare and Shirone if she chose, to move in with us as well.

But she really didn't need to know about that. In truth I thought about what I was asking thoroughly. I also gave my demands to keep an eye out for any surprises. Because anyone who decided to sneak into my town after this, would most likely be a threat. It also allowed me to make the house the new meeting place for the dragons. It could also become their new safe house. Seeing how we were now being hunted down by something.

And with all of us together in one place we had a higher chance of survival. As for Rias she was thinking rather hard about my demands. But we both had something to gain by them, mostly me for sure. But as a neutral party tied to her rook, things would generally be in her favor. Still I knew this wasn't something she could decide on her own. This was something I was counting on.

Speaking evenly she gave me her answer. "To be honest I'm in no position to either accept, or deny your requests. With what you did earlier you've already proven that you're stronger than me. However this isn't really a decision I can make on my own. In order for this to work, you'll need to meet me again with Sona, and our siblings. The Maou's Leviathan and Lucifer, in truth it'd be up to them." Personally that was what I was hoping for. I already knew she couldn't decide on her own, seeing how this town was claimed as both Gremory and Sitri territory.

But if I could prove my strength to the king of the devils, and the one in charge of foreign affairs… then it would be simple to keep this place safe. That safety would increase if I could convince Azazel to acknowledge this place as neutral. Then if two of the three bible factions agreed with it... then the heaven faction would then be forced to agree as well.

So smiling like I won something I agreed with her. "If that's the case than a meeting between us should suffice. As such I'd appreciate it if you could arrange it quickly. But I'm willing to wait for the time being, by the time the meetings arranged. I'll probably already have Azazel's approval thanks to Raynare here. Other than that I guess a meeting with Sitri San would be fine as well." At my mentioning of the fallen Rias turned to Raynare suspiciously.

"About that… Why are two fallen angels doing here anyway?" I just rolled my eyes a bit at her suspicions but still answered.

"First the one on my right is my younger adopted sister, so I expect you to be nice to her." I held my gaze on her while she nodded nervously. "Secondly Raynare was an interesting case. So far based on what she's told me she was here under false orders. Something I'll take care of soon enough. Also I decided to invite her here, so we could get her enrolled at the school by the middle of next month. You see… we kind of had to tell a few lies to allow her to stay with us." She seemed to understand, or at the very least decided not to say anything about it.

After all even if it wasn't official this town was under my jurisdiction. That was something made painfully obvious for her. Still I could tell she didn't exactly like it and more over she knew, if I could get the Grigori to accept this place as neutral ground… Then the other factions would be pressured into accepting. I had planned this whole thing out as soon as Raynare explained to me the issues, and governing bodies of the bible factions.

It would also help if I proved that I could back up my claim with strength. Something that I knew I had in abundance. I just hoped I wouldn't have to crush someone into a pancake, with heavy gravity to soon. Or worse rip their souls out of their bodies. But still with our meeting concluded there wasn't very much left to do. So we decided that if we were going to be trying to work together, we should just hang out and talk the rest of the day.

The black dragon the white cat

The Frozen Crow

I had to admit I didn't expect to be sent out on a mission like this. But orders are orders, and that meant I had to come here to devil town. But based on what Ulysses told me of his brother, that would probably change soon. Truthfully I was hoping that he'd succeed, that way Kuoh could become a nice place to relax. Even if there were others you'd consider enemies, they wouldn't be able to do anything to you. Unless they wanted punishment, in truth the town could become key in bridging the gap between the factions.

But I digress I haven't even introduced myself. The names Lance Frost, born to a fallen father, and a Yuki-Onna mother, so yeah no relation to Jack Frost. Because of this unique union I gained the ability of ice. Holy ice to be exact. As for what I looked like well… I was five foot ten inches tall and had an athlete's build. My hair was short and colored dark blue and was also spiked up. My skin color was rather pale as well. These were traits I gained from my father, however my eyes were jade green something I got from my mother. I also had six extremely dark blue wings, but that's not really important.

As for my clothes… I wore a white dress shirt tucked into black slacks. On my feet were dark brown formal shoes that were slightly pointed. My socks were also black, and I had a brown leather belt around my waist. On top of my shirt I wore a dark grey vest and a ribbon around my neck. The ribbon was red and tied in a bow at the front. Then I also had on a grey colored trenchcoat that went down past my knees. I also wore grey rimmed circular glasses, and a fedora that was also grey in color.

Then finally I had on a white and grey checkered scarf around my neck. It was thin and I didn't cover up my face. Overall I had an intellectual look about me.

Right now though I was just walking around the town, trying to familiarize myself with it. To be honest although it wasn't a large city, it was still a nice and quiet little place.

No wonder the two Maou's sent their sisters here. Although the barrier Ulysses put up around the city certainly helps. Personally I was starting to wonder, when the five remaining dragon gods would reveal themselves. With at least four out of the remaining five working together, they would be a force to reckon with. Not even Ophis or The great red would be able to stand up to them. Still it was their decision to make and no one could push them. If they tried they'd probably be stomped on.

I mean what can you do against a group that can put black holes in front of you, launch giant ice bergs at you, send out explosive shock waves that can level mountains, or even create a volcano under your feet. And to top it all off, they aren't even in their true forms. I shudder to think what they could do going all out. The worst part is that most of them weren't even, at the same level of the original dragon gods.

Or maybe that's a good thing?

As I was thinking I felt someone place a hand on my shoulder. "LANCE!~"

"AHHH!" If this situation ever came up I would fervently deny I ever screamed. Still jumping forward I quickly turned around in a fighting stance only to see… "Ulysses! What are you doing here?!" My surprise was justified, after all why did I need to be sent if he was coming himself? Also I thought he wanted to lay low for a bit. You see despite no one really knowing his real name, or what he actually is. He is rather infamous throughout the supernatural world. Mostly for being almost un-killable, a womanizer, and also being immune fire.

The reason he needed to lay low was because… he caused a ruckus a few weeks ago, when he tried to flirt with Grafyia Lucifuge… the wife and queen of the current Lucifer. Although he said that wasn't really the case, and that the marriage was just a cover. The only one who believed him in the Grigori was of course… Azazel. The two of them even went on a drinking binge, to celebrate his so called "bravery". How his brother Christopher ever put up with him I'll never know.

Still his response was to grin weirdly before speaking. "Well you see I heard word from my little familiar, that my brother had gotten himself a girl. He also told me they spent the night together in the same bed. I just figured I come and visit, just to congratulate him on becoming a man!" At this he struck a pose that showed off his muscles. First off that's just strange, secondly I didn't know he had a familiar, thirdly how did his familiar find out about this? It was then that I saw a small cricket land on his shoulder.

He quickly turned to it with a smile. "Ahh perfect timing Gregor! Please tell me what else my brother and new soon to be sister have done!~" At this point… I couldn't understand anything about what was being said. After all I don't speak cricket, which was about the strangest familiar I've ever seen. I also didn't have a mental connection with it. But when he started laughing I knew he discovered something interesting.

He also seemed quite inclined to share it with me. "Listen to this! After they slept together they then took a bath together! They didn't do anything in there besides the girl messaging my bro's back. But still! It's only a matter of time." With this he folded his arms and nodded sagely. It was at this point that I realized he needed a different hobby other than girls, drinking, fighting, and talking about his younger brother's love life. Truthfully… I don't understand why his brother hasn't terminated him yet. Also yes, I meant terminated… not killed.

Hell I want to right now just because he's already getting on my nerves! But alas even with my Ice abilities, he'd crush me in a heartbeat if I tried. As I was pondering ditching him, I felt something grab onto my right wrist and start dragging me.

That turned out to be an excited Ulysses. "Alright Lancey boy it's time to go visit my little bro!~" As he dragged me I tried to protest, only to be ignored while he continued to laugh. Really I only hoped that this didn't end up in a fight.

The black dragon the white cat

The White Cat

As we left the club room after bidding everyone goodbye, I gave out a sigh of relief. Truthfully I expected things to go south really fast. Luckily besides the whole incident with Buchou trying to scare Christopher, everything else had gone smoothly. Well there was also the incident, where Akeno tried to seduce Issei… but that was stopped quickly by Christopher, who didn't want Milly's mind corrupted. Strangely enough Kiba never showed up when I asked Buchou… she said something about him tracking down, the person who threw the note.

We were actually starting to worry about him, and his new obsession. I did notice however that, Christopher had a strange look on his face, when we mentioned him. Speaking of my boyfriend I couldn't help but think about what he asked for. Truly I was rather interested in what he brought up. Especially the thing about the house, I blushed at the thought of moving in together.

It certainly had an appeal since I liked sleeping with him. Although I don't know what came over me when I asked to bathed with him. Still when I messaged his back I couldn't help but worry a bit. The amount of knots he had was pretty bad. It would take a few more messages to get rid of them all. I could only imagine the amount of stress he's had to get that bad. Looking to him on my right though I smiled.

I guess I'll just have to help him relax then. Truthfully I don't know how I was going to do that, but I knew I'd at least have to try if we were going to be living together. Speaking of which…

Still looking at him I decided to ask something. "Hey Chris Kun could we stop by my place, you know before we head over to your house."

He shrugged before answering. "Sure we can stop by there. As for everyone else they can head back home." The three up ahead of us said their goodbyes, as we went off in another direction. The things I wanted to get from my house were a few uniforms, and some fresh clothing. I didn't want to wear the same thing every day after all. We didn't speak very much on the way there, but he did wrap his left arm around me as I walked closely to him.

We ended up not staying to long at my place, and I just got out a duffle bag and put everything in there. Along with some essential toiletries, so once done we headed on back his Chris' house. Only I couldn't help but turn beat red, as he hoisted me onto his shoulders and ran there. Still despite that I couldn't help but laugh along with him as he ran. I was surprised by the time we made it to his home, that he wasn't winded in the slightest.

I couldn't help but speak of how impressed I was. "Wow I never knew you could do something like that, even I'd feel a bit winded if I ran like that. Still I guess that's what to be expected from a dragon." He chuckled while rubbing his head sheepishly. After that I walked with him as he carried my bag inside the house. Inside everyone was already there, they were sitting around in the front room just talking. As we walked in everyone turned to greet us, while Christopher's mother gave me a wink.

Not knowing what else to really do, since I didn't tell Christopher, that his mother knew about his secret. I ended up just smiling and nodding at her. Everyone else was also in their pajamas. So seeing how it was now seven and we ate at the club room, there by convincing everyone to make my boyfriend our new official club cook. I decided to take a little initiative. Grabbing his hand I dragged him to our room to set down a few things. This was only my duffle bag, which I then opened and got out my comb, toothbrush, and my nightgown with any extra set of underwear.

My nightgown was pink and stopped above my knees, it also wasn't tight instead kind of flowy. There was also a darker flower design on the front, and had a small slit on the side of my left thigh. Grabbing these things I turned to Christopher and spoke.

"Alright then I think it's time for another bath.~" He was about to protest when I grabbed his hand again, and dragged him into the bathroom. On the way out he managed to hold onto his nightwear as we entered.

The black dragon the white cat

After we were done we were both dressed in our sleepwear. Although I didn't wear a bra underneath mine, mainly to fluster Christopher however. If I was honest with myself… I really truly blamed Rias and Akeno for my current behavior. They weren't the best role models for this kind of thing. For example Rias walks around naked all the time, and Akeno likes teasing people in multiple ways. She also kept trying to put ideas in my head, ever since I first really told them about Christopher. The last things I could blame were my own natural instincts, to claim, and hold onto my mate.

Those were mainly my Nekoshou ones, while my devil ones constantly told me to seduce him. To be honest I'm surprised I've held back as much as I have. But in the shower I had the nice surprise from the same mate, giving me a back message. Which I had to admit felt rather wonderful!~ This was after I gave him one but I really didn't care. I felt like I was in heaven while my instincts, screamed at me to give myself to him.

Luckily we controlled ourselves, and ended up walking back out into the living room. That was when I ended up meeting two unexpected people. One was a tall and muscular red haired man, and the other seemed like some intelligent teenage boy with blue hair. However he felt like a very cold version of a fallen angel. While the other kind of felt like Christopher. Speaking of whom… as soon as he saw him he froze in place. I looked at him in concern, especially since I felt nothing from him. Currently he was laughing along with other men of the house. While Mrs. Hyoudou looked exasperated and Raynare looked a bit red.

Milly however only looked confused, indicating he was making some innuendos that were going over her head.

Eventually he noticed us and stood up and gave a big toothy grin before speaking. "Well if it isn't my bro and his gal!~ It's been a while…. oomph!" That last part came from Christopher, who practically teleported to him and punched him in the stomach. After that he grabbed his coat collar and yelled at him while shaking him.

"What did I tell you about corrupting Milly's mind with your stories Ulysses?! And the rest of you!" He turned to the others who were there. "Why didn't you do anything to stop him? Or at least send Milly off to her room!" While young and innocent Milly, now looked even more confused the others looked sheepish. Eventually something clicked in my head and I turned to glare at the red haired man.

So this is his older brother Ulysses eh? I think I'll need to have a talk with him later about abandoning my mate. When I was done thinking that I blinked for a bit. Wait since when have I referred to Christopher as my mate? In the end I decided it didn't really matter since it was true. But I did back up in surprise when Ulysses appeared in front of me. By the looks of things he escaped when Christopher chose to lecture his family again.

But before I could get a word out he spoke. "I can already guess what you might want to say to me. I can also guess as to what my brother wants to say to me. But I'm sorry to say that I can't answer any of your questions. Well at least not yet, but I will say… it's nice to see the girl that my brother has fallen head over heels for." I didn't say anything to him which prompted him to continue talking. "Well I can already guess that you don't like me that much. But I can know that's mostly because my brother has yet, to tell you who killed our parents."

I blinked in surprise, but remembered what Mrs. Hyoudou told me this morning. So I held up my hands to stop him from speaking while closing my eyes. "Sorry but I want to hear everything from my boyfriend's mouth. He'll tell me when he wants to, until then I'll wait for him." looking back up to him I could see two emotions, one where I could tell he was happy I said that. While the other was angry, but I knew it wasn't directed at me. But before I could say anything he spoke with a slightly irritated voice.

"Now know I like the way you trust and accept him. However know that he'll never tell you unless forced. My brother is just like that, he doesn't want anyone to hate them. Just like he can't bring himself to hate his sister for what she did." I looked up at him confused, wondering why he worded it like that.

He doesn't want anyone to hate the killer just like he can't hate his sister? What does that mean? As I was thinking Ulysses ruffled up my still slightly damp hair, before turning back to sit with the others. However Christopher stood in his way glaring at him.

Sighing Ulysses addressed him. "Hello there brother, I'm sure you have questions. But I'll answer you tomorrow I promise on my soul." For a few moments they just stared at each other. Until finally Christopher sighed and nodded his head in acceptance. After that Ulysses smile again and we all went to sit down in the living room. There we just talked and caught up, with what he and his "assistant" was doing lately. Interestingly enough Ulysses cover job is actually working as an archeologist. He also told us some stories about some of the people he's met.

There was one about a silver haired woman in a maid outfit, which kind of struck a chord with me. I didn't know why but the way he described, and talked about her reminded me of someone. I just couldn't put my finger on it. Apparently he ended up flirting with her and eventually got her blushing. That's when the guards of the mansion he was in, discovered him and chased him out. My opinion of him lowered to right below Issei's after that. But I had to be fair to the pervert; he has made a few improvements of the last few days. I guess I had to thank Raynare for that.

Eventually it got late and we had school the next day. So we all said goodnight to each other and went to bed. As for me and Christopher we just snuggled in once more. Once I was resting on his chest again I heard him start to speak to me, as he wrapped his arms around me.

"Shirone, I was wondering about something." Curious about his own curiosity I didn't say anything and just let him continue. "I was wondering why you had two names." I tensed up as he asked that, and he felt that as well as he quickly went to scratch my exposed ears.

"Sorry I didn't mean to pry, I was just wondering because you told me to call you Shirone. Your real name while we were just alone" To be honest it was a rather sore subject for me. But after talking to Ulysses, I kind of figured that it wasn't as bad as what happened to him. I also thought back to the conversation I had with his adoptive mother. And so with a test of faith I decided to tell him.

Plus he might open up to me more, if I do the same. So taking a deep breath I began to explain. Before I did tell him the bare bones of the story, like our parents died when we were young, and that my sister abandoned me. Also that Rias' family eventually took me in. But taking a deep breath I decided to finally tell him what really happened.

"While this is a bad topic for me, it is only because of the reason why I got the name Koneko in the first place. You see six years ago me and my sister Kuroka, actually lived with a different peerage. While I wasn't reincarnated yet my sister was the bishop. However one day she lost control of a power, that we yokai can use called senjutsu. Because of that she killed her king and ran off. She left me behind while I was forced to flee alone. It was a very terrible time for me…" I was close to tears at this point which only made Christopher hug me harder. He said I could stop if I wanted, but I continued also wanting to truly get this off my chest.

"Eventually I was caught and tried; you see they thought I might know where my sister was. But like I said she ran off and left me to my fate. If it wasn't for Rias' older brother the Maou Lucifer I probably would've been executed." As I said that I could feel anger rising from him, but he did his best to control it. This made me worried about telling him this next part, but I continued all the same.

But not without a little warning. "Please don't get mad at Buchou for this next part. She was younger than we are now, so promise me you won't hold what I tell you against her." This was what I was really worried about; Christopher cared for me tremendously. So I was worried with this next part he might do something to her.

Still despite being surprised by my words he held me closer before answering. "Shirone… I can't promise that I won't be angry, but I will promise that I won't do anything against her." That promise of his erased my worry so I continued with my tale.

"Alright then… when he helped me, he took me to Rias who already had Akeno as her queen. He then gave me to her to become part of her peerage. After which she gave me the name Koneko Toujou. While it was better than the alternative, I knew I was basically a pet for the first few months. After that Rias truly began to care for me, but I've always kind of missed my old name." After I stopped speaking I could feel some anger coming from him, and he lifted us both up so we were kneeling on the bed.

Looking into my eyes he spoke. "So you were never really given a choice? And they put you on trial for something that wasn't your fault?" As he held me by the arms, I could only look down and nod with some tears. Reining in his anger he spoke again. "You don't have to worry I'm not really mad at Rias, as you said she was just a child. But her brother shouldn't have treated you like that. But at least he saved you, but you also should have had a choice, about your name and becoming a devil." Looking at him in the eyes, I was surprised that he wasn't to mad at Buchou.

I guess I doubted him for nothing. Because of his words I felt warm inside, and I couldn't help but wrap my arms around his neck. I then proceeded to press my lips to his, and to my delight he quickly returned it. Eventually we stopped and laid ourselves back down. However this time I was the first to fall asleep, having now felt just a little bit lighter.

Story Omake preview: Nonsensical meetings

The spectator

A Random time of unimportance

In a room that was completely white stood a few people. Four to be exact and they were all eyeing each other suspiciously.

The first to speak was wearing a dark white duster, with a blue long sleeved shirt underneath with silver metal plates over it; on his hands were blue fingerless gloves, he also wore white pants and combat boots. The boots were also blue in color and had sliver plates over the most vulnerable areas. Over his face was a skull mask. But one could still see his blue eyes.

"Alright what exactly is going on here?" Everyone seemed to be wondering the same thing. Looking around there wasn't anything but the large white room they were in, along with themselves of course.

The next to speak was pushed up his glasses. He had neat short black hair, and red eyes. His glasses were rimless, with the metal stems being black. He was wearing a red t-shirt, and black slacks. On his feet were black leather boots, with the soles being red in color. Around his waist was a dull black colored belt. He also had on two black leather gloves and a black trenchcoat over his clothes.

"It would seem that we've been gathered here against our wills. Quite annoying if you ask me." The next one to say something wore interesting attire. Even more so than the first one to speak. He was wearing a long brown leather coat that was open from the waist down. It also had a high collar and also had on black leather pants stuffed into brown long boot with metal greaves. On his hands were black leather gloves with metal forearm protectors. Around his waist was a single leather belt with buckles in both the front and back. Hanging from his shoulder was a belt that looped around him.

It also had a gun holster attached to it at his side. On his head was a brown leather cap with feathers on both of its sides. He was also wearing a black undershirt that had a face mask attached to it that went over his face. Over his red eyes were black circular sunglasses. On his right side was a sheathed katana. In the gun holster was a large blue revolver. Overall he looked the most equipped.

"I may not recognize two of you but I do know who you are Neos." Neos happened to be the first one who spoke.

Seeing his old friend he greeting him back. "Well it's good to see you again as well Hunter." At the mention of the first's name the last person's eyes widened in recognition. He wore a pitch black long coat that had two hand pockets. On the back of it was a yin-yang made up of two black white dragons. Except that it also had an Ouroboros around them. The seams of the coat also were colored white and it came with a hood. On his feet were black dress shoes and black socks.

He also wore black slacks, and had on a white dress shirt with a black vest over it. Around his waist was a black leather belt. He also wore one fingerless glove on his right hand. Pulling down his black hood, and taking off his black metal goggles. Everyone could see his white hair and golden eyes.

When he spoke it was with awe. "Do you mean Neos Draconis? Also codenamed Colonel Bladedancer of the W.R.C.?!" Neos blinked at him in surprise before answering.

"While I quit the W.R.C. a while ago I am indeed him. But who are you kid?" Quickly he saluted him before speaking.

"Rodrick Booker sir! It's good to see you once again!" Hearing his name Neos hit his fist into the palm of his hand in realization.

"Well! I'd never thought I'd see you again. After all you've been missing for the last sixty years, or at least in my time. Thank you dragon blooded immortality and time space laws." At this both Rodrick and the one who hadn't introduced himself stared at him in shock. Eventually the nameless one spoke.

"You're a dragon? Here I thought I was the only one here. Oh yeah I'm Christopher Hyoudou by the way." Looking at him strangely Rodrick spoke to him.

"Hyoudou? What are you Issei's cousin or something?" Christopher stared back at him confused before speaking.

"No I'm his adoptive brother… how do you know him?" Rodrick now looked even more confused.

"I don't remember him having an adoptive brother… and I should know I'm his king!" At this point in time their conversation started heating up. Leaving poor Hunter and Neos behind, although they did perk up when they started talking about a girl named Shirone.

Stepping into the conversation Neos spoke up. "Okay I think I understand what's going on here." They both stopped arguing to look at him. "You see you're both apart of a different universe, which just happen to mirror one another. For example Shirone is Hunter's adoptive sister in our universe, while also being my surrogate niece." Both of the ones arguing turned back to one another, and quickly apologized for the misunderstanding.

At this Hunter spoke up. "So what are your relationships with my sister anyway?" At this both paled a bit before answering hesitantly.

It was Christopher who spoke however. "She's our girlfriend in both of our respective universes…" After he was done speaking Neos slowly backed away from Hunter. Who had slowly started to exude a dark aura.

He then started laughing darkly. "Hehehe… well if that's true I can only hope for your sakes that you're treating her correctly. If not well… you might start missing some limbs…" Both of them quickly started to shake while quickly saying everything they could to save themselves. Neos however only looked on the scene shaking his head.

Well… this was not something I expected to happen at all. Oh well I guess it might be fun to see how this all plays out…

Element Affinity: person… Dual elements are gained through special means. Such as a sacred gears or reincarnation it can also be gained by linage.

P.S the order of the elements does mater.

Note: Having more than one element doesn't mean you're stronger than those with one. Having more than one only gives you more choices to use.

Recipe for pasta… servings for four regular people

One whole onion-chopped

One half sized can of clams

Sour cream

Mushrooms ten to twelve depending on size-chopped

Garlic

Parsley

Butter

Pot of cooked spaghetti noodle or something similar.

First you sauté onions I butter until caramelized, then put in mushrooms and wait until the juice is cooked down (Leave some juice!)Then you put in the clams and cook down the juice while putting in the parsley and garlic to taste. After that put in sour cream until it thickens. Then put the sauce with the noodles and mix it all up. Then you serve it with parmesan cheese or whatever you prefer.

Slayer: That was fun… finally things are moving one. And you've also got one hint as to who killed Christopher's and his siblings parents. Try to guess if you like, those correct at the reveal will get a magic internet cookie. Which isn't poisonous? I think… Also his adoptive mother knows… who knew?

Judan: You need to trust food again you know? As for the whole who knew part we did…

Neos: He's right about that.

Slayer: Whatever… back to breaking down the chapter. This time at the end we decided to do something a little special. You see every character there was a main character from one of our different series.

Shadow: Yep! And I'm in half of them! So read them if you want to see me

Hunter: (Whacks Shadow) None of that right now, we don't want to sound desperate or anything… on that note check out my story.

Neos: You can check them all out since I'm in all but one. Which is the one you're reading right now. However be warned… all of the beginning chapters need to be rewritten. Especially the accounts first story… Yeesh! That was truly horrific.

Slayer: I unfortunately cannot deny that.

Judan: They're at least interesting I have to say… So at least give them a chance if you want. Just make sure you understand that our grammar didn't really improve until our last story. The Void dragon Emperor. Which story came directly from yours truly.

Slayer: I'm still the one typing it though…

Hunter: You type pretty much everything.

Neos: True… so true… Still! I'm a better dragon than both of you!

Rodrick/Christopher: No I am!

Neos: Haha! I am better because eventually… wait a minute… umm Slayer, Hunter. Aren't you the same person in the story, since it is about Slayer as his time as Hunter.

Slayer: Umm… Yeah… I guess but at this moment think of it when you and Bladedancer, were two different people until the reveal.

Neos: That was quite awkward though… Wait where did Hunter go?

Slayer: What do you mean? I am Hunter.

Judan: Okay lets end this before this whole thing gets blown out of proportion.

Rodrick: Agreed, now this has been a Dark Guard production now signing off!

Everyone minus Slayer/Hunter and Neos: Goodbye!

Slayer: Come on what's wrong? It's me Hunter…

Neos: Get away you freak of nature!

Judan: This could become an issue…
