"" Demon/Dark self speaking
Clanging could be heard, sparks could be seen as two blades continued clashing against each other.
The blades interlocked forcing Seras and Yumi to stare at each other, each of them seeing the determination in their eyes.
They jumped back gaining some distance and assessing their opponent's skills.
Yumi was faster and had far more experience in sword fighting, while Seras was stronger and had better survival instincts which makes it hard for Yumi to get a direct hit.
The two once again clashed, ringing of metal as their blades crossed. Yumi's was like that of a dance while Seras was that of a vicious animal.
In a stroke of luck, Yumi's blade broke and before she could create another Seras quickly tripped her. On the ground she tried to get up only for Morningstar to be pointed at her face.
"This is my win Princess."
Seras smirked while Yumi blushed a bit at the last part.
Dismissing her sword Seras leaned down and held out a helping hand. Yumi smiled, grabbing her hand and being helped up.
"So what have you learned from this spar Seras."
"That I have potential with a sword however I mostly fight with instinct rather than skill."
Seras seemed to sigh at this.
"Don't worry, I'm sure that with enough spars between us you'll gain the proper skill to use a sword."
Yumi once again created another sword while Seras took out Morningstar once again.
The two ran forward their blades once again clashing as sparks fly.
Deep in the forest Seras and Koneko were practicing hand-to-hand combat. Unlike her previous spar with Yumi this was more in favour of Seras. See since childhood she had always fought & killed with knives and fists to the point that despite it being self-taught and being street brawling she is a near master. As such Koneko, despite being taught by an actual sensei, had no where near the experience needed to hold her own against someone like Seras.
The two were trading what they considered light blows (in human standards it'd be bone-breaking) with Koneko mostly on the defensive due to Seras being more unpredictable and vicious with her attacks. Finding an opening on her left side Koneko quickly struck only to be blocked by Seras. With a spin Seras was behind Koneko and then karate chomped her neck causing her to collapse on the ground.
She tried moving only find out that she was somehow paralyzed.
"… How?"
Rather than responding Seras struck the back of her neck ending her paralysis.
"Not many know this but when it comes to the human & animal body I'm pretty good at finding spots that could paralyze or instantly kill them."
Koneko looked amazed at that.
"Although it's pretty useless on demons since our biology is quite different from that of humans. Yet strangely you devils & youkai are VERY similar to that of humans & beasts to the point it's actually scary."
"… You've had experiences with youkai before?"
"Yeah…"
Memories of a black-haired voluptuous cat girl along with her perverted antics came to mind, which caused her left eye to twitch dangerously.
"… you could say that."
Koneko felt that she shouldn't press for more info especially when a malicious aura started forming around Seras.
"Anyway how would you like me to teach how to strike an opponent's weak points?"
"Really?"
"Sure why not; in all honesty I'm your better at hand-to-hand combat plus since we're fighting Raiser we're gonna need all the training we can get. So you in or out?"
Seras gave a closed-eye friendly smile.
Koneko thought about it before coming to a conclusion.
"I would like that very much Seras-sensei."
Seras opened her eyes in her surprise though she quickly regained her smile.
She then rubbed Koneko's head affectionately causing her to actually purr.
"Well than let's get started."
Seras was currently staring at a sword.
The sword looked like a simple gladius however it was crimson in colour and it gave off a demonic aura.
She had been getting tips from Yumi when she discovered that she has the same ability as she does. Yumi first thought that Seras had the Sacred Armament Sword Birth like she does however Ddraig had said that wasn't the case and upon closer inspection of her creations she was surprised to find out that they were COMPLETE blades. Ones that can hold their own against the likes of Yamato, Rebellion, Balmung and others to name a few.
Despite this Yumi's advice proved useful as overall the mechanics of her power was the same as Sword Birth. All she really need was sufficient power but most of all good imagination.
Right now she was testing out her creations.
With a swing of her sword the trees were engulfed in red fire however instead of being turned to ashes they were completely encased in red ice.
Nodding in satisfaction the sword dissolved, returning back to her minds cape.
'I wonder if it's possible…?'
Holding out her hand she tried creating what she had in mind.
A golden najinata appeared however unlike her previous creations it kept flickering as if trying to stay solid and it was taking a lot of Seras' energy to be created if the sweat pouring down her forehead were any indication.
Finally the najinata became stable causing Seras to let out a breath in relief.
She picked it out and examined it. Rather than the usual demonic aura her weapons this one had a pure holy aura to it.
'So I can make holy weapons, it just takes a lot more energy than making demonic ones.'
It does make sense when one thinks about it. In fact it's practically a miracle she was able to make a holy blade.
She grabbed the pole only to flinch very slightly due to her hand being burned though the feeling quickly went away.
With a few examinations she nodded in satisfaction before letting it dissolve.
'Alright it seems that I have a trump card in case things go south with Raiser. Now all I need is practise.'
And on that note Seras continued her practise in creating blades.
(So Seras I believe it's about time we talked about those crimson flames you produced)
For once Ddraig sounded serious which surprised Seras greatly.
All three were currently in her mindscape as they wanted to help in her training.
"Are you talking about that crimson fire back in the church?"
Ddraig nodded his head.
"I've been wondering about that. They felt nothing like my blue flames."
(You're correct about that. Hell they're not even yours to begin with. They are mine)
"Your flames? Is it a part of Boosted Gear?"
(Not exactly; you see before I developed the ability Boost & Transfer I had two other abilities before that. The very first was the Crimson Inferno of Scorching Flames, flames so hot and destructive that it can even burn the soul into non-existence, not even primordial gods & demon kings are immune to this)
Seras was shocked to hear this. These flames were seriously overpowered.
"And I can summon them."
She murmured softly.
(Well you can summon a weaker version however that's not the point. Jehovah made sure that non of my wielders would ever unlocked my original power and for a good reason as it's just too destructive. In fact if Boosted Gear & Divine Dividing had our original power than they'd be ranked as top-tier Longinus Sacred Armaments rather than just mid-tier. Though I still don't understand how you were able to unseal it)
This was a lot to take in for Seras.
"So what do you want me to do about it?"
(In honesty I wanted to train you in using those flames as soon as possible. However considering you need training for your other abilities we have no time for this. So until we can find the time, promise me that you will not use these flames except in a life-or-death situation)
"… I can promise that."
In all honesty she didn't actually need the flames for the upcoming battle as she didn't actually want to kill him. Plus she was actually afraid of how destructive these flames are.
{Since that's out of the way…}
Sparda grabbed his sword while Ddraig stood up.
{It's time that Ddraig and I started teaching how to properly fight}
Judging from their grins she knew this was going to be painful.
At the dining hall everyone could be seen eating quite peacefully… well except for Seras who seemed to be really annoyed and kept muttering 'perverted dragon.'
"Seras are you alright?"
Asia looked at her a bit worriedly.
"Don't worry I'm fine. I'm just very pissed at a certain red lizard."
(Oh come on! I said I was sorry. It was an accident!)
'Even if it was that didn't stop you from poking there!'
(I was curious… I wanted to see if you had the same weak spot as Tiamat…)
She knew what he really meant by 'weak spot.'
'One of these days Ddraig I will rip your dick off and then shove it so far up your ass you'd be shitting crap out of your mouth for the rest of your undead life!'
(Eep!)
She could sense Ddraig cutting off their mental connection so he could hide.
{Reminds me of my first daughter Maria before she hit puberty and became more like her mother. Wonder whatever happened to them?}
For some reason Seras felt a sense of foreboding however she didn't know why and it passed by very quickly.
"So how's your training going Seras?"
Yumi asked bit curiously as she was only part of her sword training.
"It's actually going great believe or not. Hell I even develop a trump card that'll guarantee us a win against chicken douche."
The devil girls all looked shocked at this however only Yumi was able to voice her surprise.
"How? What is it?"
Seras simply smirked before leaning her face close to Yumi's causing her to fidget.
"That's for me to know…"
She then kissed her on the nose.
"… and for you to find out princess."
Yumi was blushing a tomato and had a bit of blood leaking from her nose which caused Seras to raise an eyebrow in curiosity.
'Huh, the princess seems to have a perverted side to her. This will definitely make good blackmail material.'
Before her plans could form someone pinched her side. She turned to her left to see Asia glaring at her cutely. She then looked around to see both Raynare & Rias glaring at her fiercely though Rias tried to hide it.
"… Ecchi sensei."
Koneko simply stared at her emotionlessly however there was a small twitch to her left eye.
Akeno was simply giggling in amusement.
"Well ignoring that how about we all take a bath after the meal. This mansion has an outdoor bath so it'll be wonderful."
Seras couldn't help but feel a bit unease with that glint in her eye.
"Really now? Well that's great but I should probably get back to training after this is over."
"Nonsense, we still have a couple more days left so we can afford to take breaks like these."
She was now starting to have a really bad feeling about this.
"Um Seras do you not want to take a bath with us?"
Seras made a mistake of looking directly at Asia's puppy-eyes technique.
"N-no that's not it at all, it's just…"
"Well then there's no problem at all."
Seras started to feel a bit panicky especially when that glint in Rias' eye got bigger.
"Um… wouldn't it be too crowded if I came along. It'll probably bother the others."
"The bath has more than enough room for the 7 of us. And as for bothering the others…"
She turned her attention to the others of the group.
"Akeno do you have a problem with Seras bathing with us?"
"I don't mind if it's Seras-kun. Maybe I can even wash your back for you."
She was giggling quite sinisterly & pervertedly.
Crap, now her instincts were telling her get the hell out of there.
"How about you, Asia? Raynare? You should be all right if it's your beloved Seras right?"
The two blushed. Raynare seemed to be thinking things over before her blush deepened and some blood leaked out of her nose. Both her & Asia make a small nod.
"Yumi?"
"I have no problem at all."
Other than a small blush she was pretty much composed.
"Lastly Koneko? How about it?"
Seras was discreetly telling her to say no however Koneko decided to mess with her.
"… Yes."
"Well there you have it."
Rias sounded way too cheerful.
Seras sighed.
'Guess there's only one thing left to do.'
She got up and try to make a run for it. Key word try.
All she succeeded was getting off her chair and falling on the ground face-first.
She could hear everyone giggling at her in amusement.
"What the hell happened to my legs?"
The cause of her trip to the floor was the numbness in her legs.
{Ddraig what are you doing?}
Sparda deadpanned.
(I'm ordering pizza… What do you think I'm doing? I'm not about to let Seras prevent me from seeing some yuri action!)
Both Sparda & Seras facepalmed.
"Stupid perverted dragon…"
"Well this just makes things easier. Akeno could you lend me hand here?"
'Uh oh…'
Seras tried crawling away only for Akeno & Rias to grab her legs each and drag her away.
She tried digging her claws into the ground. It managed to slow them down a bit though it caused a horrible screeching sound.
Eventually Koneko came over, pried her claws off the ground and helped the others carry her.
'Ddraig! Sparda! Do something!'
{Sorry Seras, but I'm busy right now trying to get a pervy lizard's foot off me!}
(There's no way I'm letting you stop this! So just accept your fate partner and enjoy this wondrous gift from the gods!)
'Ddraig you son of a…!'
And so Seras was drag away to her doom while the rest follow suit.
Seras was fidgeting uncomfortably with all the stares she was getting. The reason for the stares being that the girls were being overwhelmed by Seras' naked body. Rias was comparing her's to Seras' and was jealous to see that Seras had her beat in every single physical aspect possible. Akeno was barely holding herself from going over there and enjoying the pleasures Seras' body.
Asia & Koneko were blushing a tomato red and couldn't look away no matter how much they tried.
Yumi also blushed and was looking away, however she kept sneaking glances.
Raynare had her hands covering her eyes however she kept peeking between the gaps of her fingers.
Another reason why Seras was so uncomfortable was that this was the first time she was seeing so many hot naked girls around her.
Sure she had seen naked women before but they were either feral succubi wanting to drain her life-force or a certain nekomata that keeps dragging her into one of her schemes that always ends with her incredibly annoyed and humiliated.
"So are you guys going to keep staring or are we actually going to bathe?"
That snapped Asia, Koneko, Raynare & Yumi out of their funk and they quickly looked away.
Rias meanwhile just continue to glare at Seras' body in jealousy. Quicker than the eye can follow she was now groping Seras' chest causing her to squeak in surprise.
Rias' angry expression changed from anger to that of surprise with a faint blush. She continued groping her only this time more softly.
"… So soft." Rias muttered softly.
"W-what the hell are you doing?!"
Seras was blushing like crazy and was trying to bite back a moan.
Akeno was giggling in amusement until she noticed Seras tail twitching. A certain lesson she learned about demon & youkai tails came to mind which caused her to gain a sinister smile.
Seras meanwhile was trying to fend off Rias however she was too busy trying to cover up her moans. Plus Rias somehow kept hitting all the right spots. Eventually Rias pulled her closer to the point that their breasts were now smushed together. If Rias was in the right state of mind she would probably faint from embarrassment & arousal however she was way too focus on 'examining' Seras soft skin to pay attention to that fact.
"Tell me Seras… Just how do you have such soft skin?"
She rubbed Seras a couple times on the back before moving… below that.
"Eep!"
Somehow she managed to regain enough strength and pushed her away.
"W-what's wrong with you?!"
Seras now had her arms around herself in a small attempt to protect herself and was glaring at Rias… or at least tried to however the blush of embarrassment as well as the very very slight arousal in her eyes (though she'd deny it) ruined it.
Rias seemingly snapped out whatever possessed her to do that and was completely red-faced.
"I… I honestly have no idea… what came over me…"
She looked at her hands as if she had never seen them before. Her hands unconsciously made gropping motions which caused her to blush harder.
Before more could be said, Akeno made her move.
"Kyaaaa!"
Akeno grabbed Seras' tail causing UNTOLD amounts of pleasure and causing her to nearly collapse.
"You know…" Akeno was looking down at the squirming & moaning Seraswith a lustful look. "…I learned something interesting about demons and yokais. You see the one weakness that they all share is that their tails are the most sensitive part of their body. Most cases, when struck it can cause massive amounts of pain, however with the right touch…"
She started stroking her tail which only increased the already UNBEARABLE amounts of pleasure in Seras' body.
"P-please… s-stop…"
She tried in vain to stop her however her arms and legs refused to correctly. Hell it was taking all her strength not collapse and pass out.
Deciding to… up the level, Akeno gently yet firmly pulled Seras towards her by the tail forcing her to comply. Seras was now sitting on Akeno's lap, one hand still gripping & stroking her tail, the other now playing with her breasts.
"My my, your skin is so soft & smooth. With a body like this I find it very hard to believe that Raynare was the only one you ever dated."
For a very brief moment pain echoed through her heart before being quickly squashed away by Akeno's expert touch.
She suddenly felt something at the pit of her stomach and it kept growing with her pleasure.
She soon realized what was about to happen.
"A-Akeno stop! If y-you continue I-I'll…"
Akeno seemed to realize this and her lustful grin only grew larger as her hands moved quicker & harder.
The pressure was growing and it was now taking all her power not to let it out.
At the corner of her eye she saw all the girls watching her with bleeding noses and large blushes.
"D-don't l-look at me…"
Somehow her blush became even redder and she covered her face in shame.
To the girls there was only one word to describe that action…
'''''Cute!'''''
"It seems you're already at your limit Seras-chan."
She giggled watching Seras squirm and letting out moans of pleasure.
"But I think it's about time we finish our little game Seras-chan."
Seras eyes widen and she was now both afraid & excited.
"W-wait Akeno don't-!"
It was too late as she gave one final twist.
Seras arch her back and let out a silent scream as her mind became blank from the orgasm.
Finally ending Seras collapsed and passed out from the pleasure; Akeno steady her a bit to make sure she wouldn't fall off her lap and had a large satisfying grin.
Under different circumstances the girls would be jealous of the physical contact she was having with Seras however…
Asia & Koneko had passed out from the erotic action.
Raynare & Yumi, though still conscious, were stuck in lala land with goofy smiles and nosebleeds.
Rias just sunk herself underwater, with only her nose and eyes above water level, to hide her blushing form.
"Well that was fun."
Akeno commented.
Rias glared at Akeno.
Hearing some light muttering Rias & Akeno turned their attention to the passed out Seras.
They couldn't hear most of what she was saying however they did catch a few words.
"… so good… more…"
Rias quickly sunk underwater trying to cool down her blush while Akeno was cackling sadistically.
'It seems I now have a new favourite hobby.'
Seras' body shivered though whether it was from fear or arousal was unknown…
Seras was walking with a vey annoyed & humiliated expression on her face wearing nothing but an over sized grey t-shirt.
{Cheer up Seras, at least you now learned a valuable lesson}
'And what will that be?'
{Always keep your tail properly tucked away & hidden}
That only served to annoy Seras more.
'Shut up… Hey why's Ddraig so quiet?'
{I beat the ever loving shit out of him, so don't be surprise when you don't hear from him for a day or 2}
Hearing that actually made her feel a tad bit better.
"Seras?"
Getting out of her thoughts she noticed that she ended up walking all the way to a large library.
Sitting on a couch was Rias reading a book that was titled 'Demonology.'
Getting Seras' attention Rias put her book down. Seras idly noted that Rias was wearing a red negligee, that did very little to hide her body, while wearing glasses and tying her crimson hair into a ponytail. It was a good look for her in Seras opinion.
"Ah, Rias. Hello."
"What are you doing up so late at night?"
"Couldn't sleep so I decided to take a walk."
"Well you came at a good time, let's talk for a bit."
Seras took a chair and sat at the opposite end of the table.
"You know I'm curious about why you're wearing glasses. Last I check us demonic beings don't suffer from bad eyesight."
"It's just for looks. I can think more clearly while having my glasses on. Guess this is proof that I have been in the humans' world for so long."
Rias chuckled in amusement.
Suddenly her expression turned a bit sad which surprised Seras.
"What's wrong Rias?"
She looked hesitantly at Seras' concerned face before sighing.
"Seras you remember how I used my pawn pieces to reincarnate you as my devil servant right?"
"Yeah and also for some reason the pieces didn't turn me into a devil for some reason."
Seras was getting nervous as she figured out where this was going.
'Did she find out?'
"I was reading this book to find out more about demons… turns out I wasn't the first to reincarnate one…"
Rias, at the corner of her eye, noticed how nervous Seras was getting which only confirmed her thoughts.
"You know it already don't you?"
There was a long pause before Seras had a hand across her chest. A magic circle appeared and slowly but surely eight pawn pieces came out landing on her hand.
"It was purely by accident that I discovered this. I was drawing out my yoki and it ended up working too well as I drew out the pawn pieces. Sparda confessed to me that demons are immune to Evil Pieces… I was planning to tell you after the Rating Game."
"… I see."
Rias still seemed sad.
"… Rias this changes nothing."
"What makes you say that…? You're not a devil of my services which means you have no obligation to fight for us. In fact this your best shot to get out of this."
"Get out of this?"
Seras looked confused.
"Yes. If you continue this, than the chance of Raiser taking you as his… sex slave is extremely high. If you run from this now, no one will hold it against as you're not even ally to the devil faction. So as a friend I ask-!"
She couldn't finish as Seras was now right in front of her, finger flicking her forehead causing her to cry out in surprise & a bit of pain.
"What's with you trying to get rid of me like this?"
Seras asked in an annoyed tone.
"I…"
"Wait don't answer that."
Seras interrupted Rias which caused her to twitch an eyebrow in annoyance.
"Have you forgotten what I said back in the clubroom, what we tried to do in order for me to help you?"
Rias remembered clearly that day, it was a shock to everyone how she wanted to willingly become a devil considering how she was so adamant on keeping the remains of her humanity.
"Even though I'm a demon I have non of that useless pride that they all have and even if I had remained a human… I would have still joined you."
Rias looked deeply shocked since everyone knows that Seras values her former humanity above all else besides her loved ones.
"Why?"
Seras looked her in the eye and smiled.
"In my entire life everyone that I have ever befriended that I have come to love with my entire being… they have all either abandoned me to my pain…"
At this Rias looked at her horrified just trying to figure out what kind kind of person would abandon a good person such as Seras like that.
"… or they have all died and left me to my darkness."
She looked down sadly for a moment before looking back at Rias with near dead-like eyes.
"With my last abandonment I promised myself that I would not ever let myself get closer to anyone again."
Seras' eyes seemed to brighten a bit but still seemed corpse-like.
"But then Raynare came. I found her crying in the rain over the loss of someone important to her. I didn't know why but I felt like I should make her feel better. Next thing I knew the two of us became something similar to the best of friends. Despite myself preparing to lose her it still hurt that I was not able to prevent it. I guess I was starting to reach my breaking point as my demon blood was taking advantage of my despair. When Raynare died I let the darkness out and I became this…"
She gestured at her horns and tail.
"I lost EVERYTHING that kept me going, I couldn't take it anymore; the endless pain & suffering. I had planned to just end it all until… you brought Raynare back."
She then smiled at Rias, though it was not a true smile it was different from her other smiles as this one… was filled with hope.
"The feelings I had when I realized she was back… it was the first time I felt hope, hope that my happiness will last. For that reason alone is more than enough for me to fight for you. However…"
She than looked at her hand.
"Even when I was anti-social to the point of outright hostile to you. You had nothing to gain for befriending me, to trying take away my pain, yet you did it anyway."
She clenched her fist.
"You are my friend and as your friend I will stand by your side till the very end… even if it will only bring me pain in the end."
It was quiet for a moment as Rias processed what Seras said.
She stood up and was now hugging Seras.
"… Thank you Seras, for everything… I only wish I could repay you back."
Seras smiled and hugged her back.
