merendinoemiliano: Yeah we know we just wanted to make the fight as interesting as possible plus it gave Itachi room to improve, by knowing how defeat feels like. Also thanks for the suggestion, although I myself am not a fan of Naruto MC stories my co-author is.
Lazymanjones96: Thanks as always!
Scorez: It's fine, but like I said in the PM we are planning on diverging from cannon by the end of The Faction Conference (aka. End of season 2).
Master Terra: The only epic fail here is that you fail to realize that Izanagi is an Uchiha genjutsu. Uchiha clan members have used that jutsu several times in the past without Senju DNA. You only need Senju DNA to maximize the Izanagi's potential.
Guest: Izanagi is an Uchiha genjutsu, he doesn't need Senju DNA in order to use it.
Brad: Pretty much.
Leafyfan19: Thanks for the suggestions, we will take them into consideration.
Harambe: Yeah, that overcooked chicken deserved it.
Rawrking: He makes it up for being a badass.
Dat boi: Sometimes I wonder if you will say anything else. But yeah Raiser got what he deserved.
DrDre12: I know right, the moment those reviews came I couldn't help but laugh myself. Anyway, thanks. And yeah you will just have to wait and see how it goes.
atchoum35: Thanks for the support!
tenshiakuma14: Thanks, and we have something planned.
Chapter 6: Holy Sword Project!
Itachi woke up but something was not quite right, he didn't hear the alarm clock, he looked at the window and saw rays of sunshine coming through the curtains. And then there was a naked Rias using him as a body pillow, pushing his face between her breasts. He looks at her sleeping face, his trying to look annoyed yet he has a slight blush on his face. "Aww, how adorable!" Rias hugged him even harder.
"MMMPPPHHHH!" Itachi was being suffocated from what his brother would describe as a death every man wants. Itachi tapped Rias on the shoulder and she loosened her grip, Itachi then pulled his face out from between those soft bouncing breasts, gasping for air. "I thought… I… was going to… die…" Itachi panted. "Why are you in my bed… again?"
"I felt like using you as my body pillow." Rias replied with a kind innocent looking smile.
She's been like this ever since the battle against Raiser. Every single morning Itachi would wake up with Rias's boobs in his face. "I still wished you would have woken me up, and asked."
Rias then leaned on top of him, looking down on him with her seductive blue eyes. "We still got some time. Perhaps I should use this time to bond with my servant." Rias kissed Itachi's forehead.
"Rias, I might not act like most men but I'm a man nonetheless." Itachi said as Rias leaned in closer pushing her breasts on his chest.
"I will do anything you want, you know? Anything." Rias proceeded to kiss Itachi down the neck.
"Wait… Rias…" Itachi uttered as Rias slowly lowered her hand, and slid her slender hands into his boxers, and grabbed onto his manhood. Itachi slightly grunted.
"Oh my, you're certainly well endowed." Rias said with seductive giggle.
Itachi Uchiha's voice then was heard inside Itachi's head. "You know… I'm both aggravated and happy at the same time. For once we're being dominated by a woman, but at the same time… it's kind of… now what would your brother say… hot."
'Weren't you supposed to be devoid of all emotion?!' Itachi questioned.
"Like you said to her, we might not act like most men but we are men nonetheless." Itachi Uchiha replied emotionlessly.
'I can't take this anymore…' Itachi thought when suddenly a knock was heard on the door.
"Hey, nii-san. Weren't you supposed to wake me up early for the morning training?!" Issei opened the door and the very next second he was gaping with his eyes wide in shock. "Y-You…" Issei brought up his shaky hand and pointed at his older brother. "Traitor!" Issei ran away from the door crying.
"…"
"…."
"…"
"I don't know what to say to that…" Itachi said with an emotionless expression, he then noticed that Rias was distracted by what just happened and he quickly made his exit. "See ya at breakfast, bye!" Itachi ran out the door."
"Damn it." Rias said, but then noticed Itachi's boxers in her right hand.
"KYYYYYAAAAAA!" Asia screamed.
"Asia! It's not what it looks like!" Itachi said desperately.
"Asia-chan, what is it?! Oh my." Itachi's mother arrived.
"Mom?!" Itachi shouted.
"Is it wrong for a mom to admire her healthy boy?" His mother asked.
"Yes!" Itachi shouted as Rias giggled.
Later, after all the madness, everyone was gathered at the dinner table having breakfast. Itachi, Issei, Rias and Asia were all dressed in their school uniforms. "Delicious. I can't believe a foreigner made this." Mr. Hyoudou complimented Rias's cooking whom had made a Japanese dish.
"I have lived in Japan for a long time." Rias said.
"Well this is very delicious." Itachi complimented.
"Thank you, Itachi." Rias said looking at Itachi with a smile.
"Asia-chan just moved in a while ago, so when Rias-san wanted to live here too, I was really taken aback, but I never imagined you'd help me cook." Miss Hyoudou said.
"It's the least I can do, Oka-sama." Rias said.
"And you, Asia-chan. You help me clean and do the laundry. I can't tell you how much that helps!" Miss Hyoudou complimented the blond ex-nun.
"I-I am a guest, after all. It's the least I can do." Asia said with a small blush.
"Oka-sama, would you mind if I invited the club here today after school?" Rias asked.
"Go right ahead." Miss Hyoudou approved.
"Why exactly here?" Itachi asked.
"The club building's going to have its annual cleaning, so we can't hold our regular meeting there today." Rias replied.
"A club meeting at home? Sounds exciting! I'll make the tea, buchou-san!" Asia said.
"All right. Thank you, Asia." Rias thanked.
"Thanks for the meal." Itachi left the dinner table.
"Are you going training again?" Issei whispered so that their parents wouldn't hear, and Itachi responded with a nod. Itachi stepped outside of the house door and teleported with a magic circle.
The Familiar Forest
Itachi appeared out from the magic circle with Yukino waiting for him. "You're a little late, Itachi-sama." Yukino said with a small pout.
"Sorry, Rias had me occupied." Itachi apologized and performed the hand signs.
Shadow Clone!
Out from a puff of smoke appeared Itachi Uchiha. "Ready?"
"Ready." Itachi Hyoudou got into fighting stance. He then charged at Itachi Uchiha and summoned his katana from a magic circle. Itachi raised the blade above his head and swung it down on Itachi Uchiha whom blocked it with a kunai. Itachi then leaped back and performed a new set of hand signs.
Fire Style: Phoenix Flower!
Itachi spitted out small balls of fire and then threw shuriken into the fire balls as they flew towards Itachi Uchiha. Itachi Uchiha leaped into a lake and performed a set of hand signs.
Water Style: Water Wall!
A wall of water surrounded Itachi Uchiha putting out the fire shurikens. Itachi Uchiha leaped out from the water wall and threw three kunai knifes at Itachi stabbing him in the shoulders, and chest. Itachi then turned into a pack of crows.
"So, you've mastered it. I'm impressed." Itachi Uchiha complimented as Itachi Hyoudou appeared behind him with his katana raised. Itachi Uchiha quickly turned around and grabbed Itachi Hyoudou by the wrists. "But you still got ways to go." Itachi Uchiha had on his right hand raised his middle finger and index finger.
Fire Style: Fireball!
Itachi Uchiha spitted out a ball of fire directly hitting Itachi Hyoudou whom turned into a puff of smoke. "You still got ways to go, if you think you can fool me with a Shadow Clone." Itachi Uchiha said as Itachi Hyoudou appeared from a puddle of water with a lot of wind gathered into his fist in the shape of a drill.
Wind Style: Vacuum Drill!
Itachi Hyoudou then spitted out a small wave of fire merging it with the wind drill creating a drill of fire.
Fire Style: Blazing Drill!
Itachi Hyoudou slammed the drill right through Itachi Uchiha's gut. "How's that?" Itachi Hyoudou asked with a smirk.
"Heh." Itachi Uchiha had a thin smirk creeping up on his lips. He then vanished in a pack of crows. "You still need to keep an eye on your surroundings." Itachi Uchiha stood behind Itachi with a kunai directed at his neck. "That's it for today's training. Same time tomorrow. And be sure to meet up on time this time."
"I will try. But I better hurry up or I'm going to be late." Itachi Hyoudou quickly prepared a magic circle.
"You know, you could always just send a Shadow Clone." Itachi Uchiha said.
"I know, but I prefer to be there in person." Itachi said before he vanished through the magic circle.
"Guess that's one more thing that's different between us." Itachi Uchiha said with a smirk.
"What do you mean?" Yukino questioned.
"Back at the academy… I would skip class and send a clone in my place while I trained." Itachi Uchiha replied.
"But that made you stronger, didn't it? He should just do the same thing." Yukino said with a bored expression.
"It's true all that training was a part of how I got stronger. But there were other things as well. Plus, he's found other ways to grow strong." Itachi Uchiha said with a small inward smile.
Later: Occult Research Club
Itachi entered the clubroom only to find it empty. "I thought so no one else is here. Perfect, this place is the best place to relax" Itachi said down on the couch leaning back.
"Ara, ara. Itachi-kun." Akeno exited from the shower drenched wet wearing nothing more but a bathrobe, her long black hair drenched wet, her purple eyes looking at him seductively. She walked over to him bending forwards with her big breasts bouncing.
"A-Akeno…" Itachi uttered with a small faint blush as her large cleavage was almost right in his face.
"I heard you've been training a lot lately, ever since your battle with Raiser." Akeno brought her face close to Itachi's looking at him with her big purple eyes.
"Well… I don't want to fail again. I want to be able to help all of you without failing ever again." Itachi said as he tried to avoid Akeno's gaze making her let out a small giggle.
"You know what?" Akeno placed her hand on his chest, and slowly brought her hand upwards and then grabbed him by the chin. "If you keep giving me such adorable reactions, I'm going to want to play with you."
"Play?" Itachi questioned as Akeno leaned in closer to him pushing her wet big soft breasts on his chest.
She then leaned her face closer to Itachi's face. "I do like you, Itachi." She whispered into his ear.
"L-Like? Me?" Itachi questioned as despite him wearing clothes he could still feel Akeno's soft body pushing up against his.
"But I don't think Rias would like that. After all, she…" Akeno then brought her lips to his neck. "You're such a tease." Akeno said and licked Itachi's neck making his body shiver a little. "During your fight with Raiser. No matter how much he beat you down you got back up. You were so heroic. Then you crashed the engagement party to save buchou, and then you defeated the so-called immortal Phoenix. After seeing such a brave man as yourself in a battle like that. I started to feel a little funny myself. I wonder, is this love I'm feeling." Akeno gently rubbed her fingers through Itachi's hair. "Could you look at me, with those eyes?"
"Huh? What, my Sharingan?" Itachi questioned as he had a small faint blush on his face, he could even hear his old self sigh inside his head.
"Yes, those beautiful eyes." Akeno placed her hands on his cheeks.
"Well… I don't mind." Itachi activated his Sharingan as Akeno looked deeply into his eyes.
"They truly… are beautiful." Akeno said when suddenly a knock on the door was heard and she slowly got off him.
"Akeno? Are you in here?" Rias entered the room and to her surprise she didn't only find her best friend but also her crush, Itachi. "Oh, Itachi what are you doing here?"
"I came here to take a little break. The school and the training is really exhausting." Itachi replied.
"Oh, Akeno why are you dressed like that?" Rias asked with a suspicious expression.
"Ara, ara. I just finished taking a shower when Itachi suddenly walked in. Did you need me for something?" Akeno asked.
"Sona wants to meet us, get dressed and let's go." Rias replied.
"Yes, buchou." Akeno used a magic circle to change into her academy uniform and even tie her hair back into a ponytail. "Later, Itachi."
"Umm, later." Itachi waved.
"Itachi, remember we are having the club meeting at your house." Rias said.
"Yeah, I will head home soon. And wait for you guys to arrive." Itachi said as Rias gave him a smile before leaving with Akeno.
'First Rias and now Akeno… This is getting a little out of hand.' Itachi thought and sighed.
"From what I understand as a devil you can have more than one wife." Itachi Uchiha said inside Itachi's head.
"How do you know that?" Itachi questioned.
"Yukino told me, and she's been associated with different kinds of people, humans, devils and angels alike for the past millions of years." Itachi Uchiha replied.
"Okay… Why did you feel the need to tell me?" Itachi asked.
"You know just saying, there's a way to make both of them happy. Whatever you chose to do about that kind of things is your business anyway." Itachi Uchiha replied.
"Don't you think it concerns you a bit since you live inside my head?" Itachi asked with a sweat drop.
"Got nothing to complain about, I have a pool in here and something called a pool table too." Itachi Uchiha said.
"You do not have-" Itachi stopped when he heard a ball slam into several others and going into holes. "… How?"
"I'm inside your head, meaning I can go into your imagination and whatever I want I get it." Itachi Uchiha said.
"… Huh, neat…"
Later Hyoudou residence
"All right, let's begin today's meeting. We'll tally-up this month's contracts." Rias said as they were all gathered in Itachi's room. "Akeno formed eleven."
"Yes." Akeno confirmed.
"Koneko formed eight."
"Yes."
"Yuuto formed eight."
"Yes."
"And Asia formed three."
"Yes."
"You're doing great, Asia-san!" Kiba complimented.
"Ara, ara! Not bad at all!" Akeno complimented with a giggle.
"That's not a bad result for a rookie." Koneko complimented.
"Thank you very much!" Asia beamed.
"Issei… zero." Rias said taking a sip of tea.
"I-I'm very ashamed." Issei rubbed the back of his head.
"You need to get those contracts made, or you'll never become a High-Class Devil." Rias said.
"I know! I will make it to the top of the group next month!" Issei declared.
"As for Itachi… one." Rias said and again took a sip of tea.
"I will try better next time." Itachi sighed as he had mostly failed because he mostly goes together with Issei, the one summoning he managed to complete was when he went with Rias.
"You should have no problem with this, why are you even having this problem?" Rias asked.
Itachi looked over to Issei with a judgmental look, but then an image of a younger Issei yelling. "Nii-san!" Came to his mind making him sigh. "No reason."
"Sorry for interrupting!" Miss Hyoudou entered the room with cookies.
"You didn't have to make those, oka-sama!" Asia said as she felt guilty for letting Miss Hyoudou do all the work.
"Don't worry about it! You're having a Karuta Club meeting, aren't you?" Miss Hyoudou said.
"Now, that's the first time I've ever heard anyone make that mistake." Issei said with a deadpan expression shared by his older brother.
"I brought something nice for you to look at!" Miss Hyoudou said holding a bunch of photo albums, as both her son's paled at this.
"We don't need them! Get out! Get out!" Itachi desperately tried to push his mother out from the room. But then Rias snatched the albums and his mother managed to get inside his room to embarrass him and Issei further.
"Here's Itachi back when he was born." Miss Hyoudou opened the first album as it showed a picture of baby Itachi tucked inside a blanket while being held by her as she was on a hospital bed with Mr. Hyoudou beside her, crying tears of joy.
"Aww, he's so cute!" Rias looked at the photo with her eyes wide and sparkly.
"And here's the moment we realized Itachi was no ordinary child." Miss Hyoudou showed them another photo, this time of a baby Itachi sitting next to some play boxes that spelled. "Itachi want food."
"How old was he?" Rias questioned as her eyes where only focused on the photos of a little adorable Itachi.
"He was only 1 at the time." Miss Hyoudou replied. "Oh, and here's when Issei was born." The next photo they were back in the hospital, but this time Miss Hyoudou was holding a baby Issei while as Mr. Hyoudou stood beside her holding little Itachi in his arms.
"Issei-san is so cute in this picture." Asia said with the same expression Rias had at the Itachi photos.
"Let's see… Oh, here's back when they were in kindergarten!" Miss Hyoudou said as the next photo was of Itachi and Issei, both wearing a yellow rain poncho and a yellow hat, and Itachi was holding Issei's hand. "And here's back when Itachi and Issei went in elementary school." The next photo was of a naked Issei running smiling and laughing outside in the yard with Itachi running after him with a towel wrapped around his waist and he was holding another towel. And then there was another photo of Issei running the other way holding two towels in the air with a butt naked Itachi running after him.
"Ara, ara. They're both stark naked!" Akeno said with a giggle.
"Itachi-senpai and Issei-senpai's embarrassing history…" Koneko commented emotionless.
"A tiny Itachi! A tiny Itachi!" Rias said with a small blush and a smile.
"I understand exactly how you feel, buchou-san!" Asia said as she was looking at tiny Issei.
"Asia, you see the appeal, too? I'm so happy!" Rias said.
"Good god." Issei mumbled embarrassed.
"This is beyond humiliating." Itachi said with an annoyed expression.
"She's a good mother." Kiba said with a smile as he looked at a photo album like everyone else.
"Yeah, right!" Issei shouted.
"I have no words for it…" Itachi said emotionlessly.
"And here's Itachi when he won his first martial arts trofie!" The next photo was of Itachi sitting on his father's shoulder whom had a proud expression with a large grin as Itachi was holding the trofie with an emotionless expression.
"He doesn't look that excited." Akeno commented.
"Well he's still looks like this now to though." Rias said with a nervous chuckle.
"Why me…" Itachi muttered.
"Hey, Itachi-san. This photo here." Kiba said as Itachi and Issei looked at the photo Kiba was looking at. The photo where of Issei, Itachi and a chestnut-haired tomboy with light purple eyes. The tomboy and Issei were playing video games while Itachi sat and read a book and in the back ground was a sword hanging on the wall.
"Oh, that boy used to be our neighbor. We played a lot back then. He moved because his parents had a job overseas or something. What was his name, again?" Issei pondered.
"First of all, that's a girl, and second her names Irina." Itachi said.
"Wait?! Seriously?! That's a girl?!" Issei questioned in surprise.
"Do you two remember this sword?" Kiba asked.
"Nah, it was such a long time ago." Issei replied.
"I think it belonged to Irina's father." Itachi replied.
"It really is a small world." Kiba said with a small grin.
"Kiba?" Itachi questioned as something didn't seem right with his old friend.
"I never thought I'd be seeing it like this." Kiba said as he just stared at the photo intensely.
"See what?" Issei questioned.
"This is a Holy Sword." Kiba said as his eyes looked at the photo with what Itachi detected as hatred.
"A Holy Sword?" Issei questioned.
"Nevermind." Kiba closed the album and handed it over to Itachi. "Thank you, Itachi-san, Issei-kun."
Later that night
"Why do I always decide to go with you on these things?" Itachi questioned as they were both on their bikes, on their way over to a client.
"I'm sorry, I promise not to mess up this time." Issei said with a nervous chuckle.
"You said the other times as well, ever since our first summoning. This place we're going to… It's not with that big cosplay guy who loves magical girls is it?" Itachi asked as a shiver ran down both the Hyoudou brother's spine.
"N-No…" Issei replied. "By the way… Did you notice something was wrong with Kiba?"
"Hn, he certainly did act strange when he saw that photo. Judging by what he said I assume his past must be connected to Holy Swords or something. Guess in time he will tell us when he's ready or we will find out in a different way." Itachi said as they both stopped in front of a building.
"This is the place." Issei said they both then walked inside and went up the elevator and stopped in front of a door. Issei then rang the doorbell. "This guy's probably gonna wonder why a devil would ring the doorbell, too."
"It won't be a problem if you just grew stronger." Itachi commented when the door opened.
"Hello! Did you summon a Devil? Do you think this is kind of strange? Of course, you do! I would pop out of the magic circle on the flyer if I could, but there's some problems with that." Issei said as if this was something he had to explain every single time. Which Itachi could confirm he had to.
"I can use the magic circle however he wants me to accompany him on his little bike rides." Itachi said with a deadpan expression.
"Anyway, come on in." The man said as Issei looked at him in confusion. "You're a Devil, aren't you?" The man had black hair with golden bangs, and a black goatee, his eyes were purple, and he looked at the two brothers with a grin.
Issei and Itachi went in and took a seat on the couch. "Wow, what a place. He doesn't look Japanese. I wonder what kind of work he does." Issei said and looked around at the place in awe.
"He's probably some foreigner business man." Itachi said as he had his normal emotionless expression. But actually, he was very cautious as something about this man felt odd.
"You could not sense it from far away since he's concealing his presence, but up close I can feel that he's a fallen angel, a powerful one." Itachi Uchiha said inside Itachi Hyoudou's head.
'Got it, I will be careful.' Itachi thought when the man came out with a tray with three glasses, a bottle of whisky, and ice bucket, and a mug with water.
"Have a drink." The man said.
"Sorry, but we're both underage." Itachi said.
"Really? That's a bummer. I wanted someone to share a drink with." The man said disappointed. "Are you sure you can't drink? I mean you especially look old enough." The man looked at Itachi.
"I'm 18, the average drinking age here is 21." Itachi replied.
"Well, in other countries you are actually allowed to drink you know. So how about it?" The man offered.
"No thanks. I don't really like alcohol." Itachi replied.
"Very well. How about some water then?" The man offered.
"That will be fine. "Itachi said.
"Yeah, that will be okay." Issei said.
After a few drinks the man was red in the face and laughing a little. "You two came here on bikes because you don't have enough power?" The man looked at Issei.
"Yeah…" Issei replied.
"What a guy!" The man laughed. "And you felt sorry for him, and chose to accompany him on a bike as well?"
"Pretty much." Itachi replied with a deadpan expression.
"You two are really something!" The man laughed while slapping himself on the knee. "This has been fun. What do you two want for compensation?"
"Already?" Issei questioned.
"As you two are Devils, do you want my soul or something?" The man asked with a smirk.
"N-No way! Just chatting with someone is hardly worth that much." Issei said.
"Besides who wants your soul." Itachi commented coldly.
"You're a cold one, aren't ya? Reminds me of a man I used to know way back in the day." The man said with a small chuckle. "Well then. What about that?" The man pointed at a painting on the wall. "It's not a copy."
"But it looks really expensive." Issei said.
"I don't have much else on hand. If you can't take that, then I guess my soul's the only…"
"We'll take the painting." Itachi said the moment he gave them the painting they left leaving the man by himself. Or so we'd think.
"I knew it. The moment I saw that boys face, he looks way too much like you. Uchiha Itachi." The man turned around to face Itachi Uchiha.
"Azazel, it's been awhile. Last time I saw you was when you were thrown out from heaven." Itachi Uchiha said narrowing his eyes with his sharingan active.
"And last time I saw you, you were close to your death bed. What happened? Did you get reincarnated?" Azazel asked with an amused grin.
"They forgot my soul, and now I can't go into the next life. So, they me a new life." Itachi Uchiha said.
"Forgot your soul? That's hilarious, and judging by how many years it's been I would say they took their sweet ass time looking for you. Anyway, last time I checked you were 21, so how about some whisky?" Azazel offered.
"No thank you." Itachi Uchiha replied with a stern expression. "What is your game?"
"My game? I don't know what you're talking about." Azazel replied with a sly grin.
"In case you forgot I'm an expert when it comes to lying, so spill it. Or else…" Itachi Uchiha's eyes morphed into Mangekyou.
"Still can't take a joke I see. I'm just interested in this Sacred Gear that Issei kid has all right. I'm not planning anything bad. You see while you were gone God created these things called-"
"I know what a Sacred Gear is, Azazel."
"Hn, besides… Are you sure you want to threaten me? From what I can see, you're just in a clone state. In this state, I easily overpower you." Azazel said with a smirk.
"I have… other ways of fighting." Itachi Uchiha said.
"Ah, don't get your panties in a bunch. I'm not looking for a fight, and I'm guessing neither are you. I hope." Azazel snickered.
"Just to warn you… try anything funny and you will have to deal with me." Itachi Uchiha said deactivating his Mangekyou.
"Oh, come on, trust me a little will you?" Azazel sighed.
"I do trust you somewhat, but I'm still not completely sure I can now. A lot has changed since I died. That includes you." Itachi Uchiha then vanished in a puff of smoke.
"Heh, things just got very interesting." Azazel chuckled and poured himself a drink.
Later: At an abandoned factory
After having successfully completed a contract Rias had summoned the two brothers to an abandoned factory. "Itachi, Issei, over here." Rias called out as the two brothers went over to their master and the others. "Sorry to make you two come out here."
"It's fine, but…" Issei said.
"Is it a Stray Devil?" Itachi asked.
"Yes, we've received orders to slay it tonight." Akeno replied.
"That's how dangerous it is. We'd be at a disadvantage indoors. Stay out of this one, Asia." Rias looked over to the ex-nun.
"Y-Yes!" Asia said.
"Akeno and I will wait outside. Koneko, Yuuto, Issei and Itachi, you four will lure it out." Rias ordered.
"Yes, buchou." Akeno responded.
"Yes." Koneko responded emotionlessly as usual.
"Very well." Itachi responded.
"Roger!" Issei responded. "Boosted Gear!" Issei activated his Boosted Gear gauntlet.
Rias then looked over to Kiba whom seemed to be in deep thought and not focusing. "Yuuto?"
"Y-Yes ma'am!" Kiba responded.
"Well then, let's go, nii-san, Kiba, Koneko-chan!" Issei and Itachi ran into the factory with Kiba and Koneko right behind them. "I wonder what this ones' like. If it is another monster…" Issei said when suddenly Koneko punched the door open with her tiny fist of doom. "Not even a heads up, huh?"
"Let's go." Koneko went in with Itachi.
"Yes." Issei and Kiba followed.
Itachi then spotted a girl hiding in a corner. Quickly without warning Itachi threw three shuriken at the girl whom later turned into a giant spider like monster.
"It is another monster after all!" Issei shouted.
The monster crawled on the celling, above Kiba. "Yuuto-senpai, if you would. Yuuto-senpai!" Koneko called out as Kiba was in deep thought and not focused.
"S-Sorry." Kiba woke up into reality.
Suddenly the creature shot out some sort of spider web hitting Koneko in the shoulder as part of her clothing melted away. "Koneko-chan!" Issei shouted.
Boost!
Explosion!
Dragon Shocker!
Issei blasted it with a small beam that the creature easily deflected. "I need to power up more! Quit standing around Prince Charming!" Issei shouted as Kiba quickly cut the monster in half, but then tripped on a pipe, as suddenly it appeared above him about to attack.
Fire Style: Fireball!
Itachi spitted out a ball of fire that crashed into the beast sending it crashing into some machines. It tried to get up, but Koneko had grabbed it by the leg. "Fly." Koneko threw the monster out the window as a bolt of lightning struck it. Itachi and the others made it out from the factory just in time to see Rias blast the Stray Devil away. "She had completely lost herself. You could no longer call her a Devil." Akeno said looking at the spot where the Stray Devil used to be.
"I'd never want to end up like that." Issei said with shivers.
"If you do I'll execute you." Itachi commented with a small smirk.
"You have a sick sense of humor you know that?" Issei said with a sweat drop.
Asia then went to heal Koneko's injury when suddenly they heard a slap noise and turned around to see Rias slapping Kiba. "Did that wake you up? One misstep, and someone could have died."
"I'm sorry."
"What's wrong with you? I've never seen you like this." Rias said with a face of concern.
"This hasn't been my best day. I'll excuse myself for now." Kiba bowed and walked away.
"Yuuto…"
Issei then ran after Kiba. "That boy, has the eyes of an avenger." Itachi Uchiha said inside Itachi's head.
'Avenger? Do you think it has something to do with the Holy Sword in that photo?' Itachi thought.
"I have no idea, ask Rias. She should know." Itachi Uchiha replied.
Later
When they got back home, Issei, Asia and Rias all gathered in Itachi's room. "Why is it always my room?"
"Buchou, what is a Holy Sword?" Issei asked.
"A Holy Sword is a Devil's worst enemy. Merely touching the blade of one can burn a Devil, and taking a slash from one completely obliterates them. A Holy Sword can kill a Devil." Rias said.
"That's a pretty fearsome weapon." Issei said.
"However, it's also true that only a select few can use them. That's why the Church attempted to artificially create beings that could use Excalibur, a Holy Sword. That was… the Holy Sword Experiment." Rias said.
"I never heard of anything like that when I was a part of the Church." Asia said.
"They must have kept it as a top-secret experiment." Itachi said with his eyes narrowed.
"Yeah, it happened a long time ago, and I heard it was a complete failure." Rias said.
"Kiba is involved in this somehow, isn't he?" Itachi said.
"… Yuuto is the only survivor." Rias said as Issei and Asia widened their eyes in shock.
"That would explain his reaction to that photo." Itachi said.
"Photo? What photo?" Rias questioned as Issei went to find the album.
"Here it is." Issei showed her the photo of him, Itachi and that tomboy girl Irina.
"That is a Holy Sword, but it's not as powerful as Excalibur." Rias said.
"Really?" Issei questioned.
"I can't believe that the two of you were so close to one, Issei-san, Itachi-san." Asia said.
"Neither can I… However, we would sometimes go to Church with Irina's family." Itachi said.
"Yeah, I remember now." Issei said.
"I see, that would explain why the landlord left…" Rias mumbled.
"Rias?" Itachi questioned.
"Anyway, let's all go to bed. I will stay here with Itachi." Rias said and began to undress.
"What?! No fair, nii-san!" Issei shouted in jealousy.
Asia then pouted seeing Issei react like that. "T-Then, I will sleep with Issei-san!"
"What?!" Issei questioned in surprise as Asia suddenly dragged him out from the room. "Wait, Asia!"
"Well… I guess he should be happy…" Itachi said with a sweat drop.
Rias then wrapped her arms around Itachi's neck, and she was completely naked and pushing her gigantic breasts up against his back. "That just leaves the two of us." Rias said with a wink.
"Umm, I'm actually really sleepy so… nighty night!" Itachi quickly hid under the covers of his bed pretending to be asleep. Even though he couldn't get Rias out, this way he would avoid getting violated, well too much anyway. Rias then pouted a little and then went under the covers too. "Wait? What are you doing?" Itachi questioned as Rias began removing his clothing.
"You can't sleep with all your clothes on, so come on, let's take 'em off." Rias said with a sweet innocent giggle, although there wasn't anything innocent behind it.
"W-Wait! At least let me keep my underwear on!"
Next Morning
"I somehow survived last night." Itachi uttered as a naked Rias was sleeping on top of him, somehow Itachi had managed to keep both his and Rias's virginity intact.
Rias opened her eyes as ray of sunlight from the window hit her eyes. "Good morning, Itachi."
"Good morning." Itachi said even though he has barely managed to sleep.
"A shame we couldn't fool around last night." Rias said with a disappointed look as she rubbed her finger on Itachi's chest.
"I'd say you've fooled around plenty." Itachi said with a deadpan expression.
"Sometimes I wonder if your even straight, you know?" Rias said with a sigh.
"I am straight." Itachi replied.
"Then do you even find me attractive?" Rias asked.
"Umm, I… I do." Itachi whispered the last part but Rias heard it none the less.
Rias the smiled and embraced Itachi in a hug. "To bad we can't fool around now though. I promised oka-sama that me and Asia would make breakfast."
"Yeah, why don't you get started on that. I have to go and train anyway." Itachi said and gently pushed Rias off him, he then went over to his closet and grabbed his school tracksuit.
"Will you make it back for breakfast?" Rias asked putting on her clothes as well.
"Of course, it is the most important meal of the day after all. Besides you made it, I wouldn't miss that for the world." Itachi said with a small smile making Rias blush a little. "I'll see you later."
"Yeah, see you later." Rias said as Itachi vanished through a magic circle.
The Familiar Forest
Itachi appeared in the forest with Yukino sitting on a tree branch above him. "Looks like you're on time."
"Yeah, now let's get started." Itachi performed the hand signs.
Shadow Clone!
In a puff of smoke appeared Itachi Uchiha. "Okay, let's begin."
"Wait." Itachi Uchiha stopped him.
"What is it?" Itachi questioned.
"There is something we must discuss." Itachi Uchiha said creating a serious tension. "Lately I've felt some strange energy around the town."
"Strange energy? Yeah, I've felt that something was different myself after last night." Itachi said.
"From previous experience, we have had, I would say this is holy energy. And a powerful source might I add. Not only that but there's been something else as well." Itachi Uchiha said.
"What?" Itachi questioned.
"There's been a chakra source around town lately." Yukino said kicking her legs back and forth while sitting on the tree branch.
"Wait, doesn't everyone have chakra?" Itachi questioned.
"True but as times have past people have no longer any ways of controlling it. In fact, they have no knowledge of it what so ever. Some people however have discovered a new source, which is what we know as magic power. It's similar to chakra but it's still not quite the same. And recently we have felt the presence of a small group of people with high concentration of chakra." Itachi Uchiha explained.
"So, what does this mean?" Itachi questioned.
"It means that it seems not all shinobi have been destroyed as we thought they were. My guess is that a small group have been able to pass down their knowledge of ninjutsu from generation to generation, which have lasted all this time." Itachi Uchiha replied.
"So… Is this a good thing, or a bad thing?" Itachi questioned.
"I'm not quite sure what to make of it. But for the moment keep your guard up. If they find out that there is a new individual that's able to concentrate chakra they will target you." Itachi Uchiha replied.
"Understood. So, should we start training now?" Itachi asked.
"Hn." Itachi Uchiha grunted and threw a kunai.
Later
After having finished training and eaten breakfast, Itachi had spent the rest of the day at school. And when school was over they all went to the old schoolhouse. When they walked around the hallway which had now been cleaned so well that you could see your own reflection on the floor. Which Issei used to peek up skirts. They were all then gathered up in the clubroom. "Now that everything is cleaned, we can start anew." Rias said as they were gathered in the clubroom with the ones not in the room currently being Kiba and Akeno.
"Where's Kiba?" Itachi asked.
"Yuuto-senpai is absent from school." Koneko replied.
"He is?" Asia questioned.
"Buchou, could this have anything to do with the talk we had yesterday?" Issei asked.
"…."
"The Holy Sword project and him being the only survivor. I assume that means others died, people he cared about. Am I wrong?" Itachi asked.
Rias sighed. "Yes. Like Yuuto, there were many more children conditioned to be compatible with Excalibur. That's because there are seven swords known as the Holy Sword, Excalibur."
"Seven?" Issei questioned.
"The original Excalibur was shattered in combat long ago. The Church found those pieces and used alchemy to create seven new swords." Rias explained.
"Does that mean Kiba can use them?" Issei questioned.
"Doubtful, considering that yesterday, Rias said that the project was a complete failure. Meaning none of them became compatible with Excalibur. Plus, he's a Devil, it would be difficult for him to even touch it." Itachi said.
"That's right. Consequently, the leader of the experiment decided to dispose of all test subjects." Rias said.
"Dispose of… You can't mean…" Issei said.
"He was nearly dead. However, he was the only one to escape, and with his short life flashing before his eyes, he passionately desired vengeance. Seeing his strong determination, I wanted to put it to good use as a Devil." Rias said.
"And that's when you made Kiba a Devil?" Issei said and then recalled the reaction Kiba had to that photo. "That's why, when he saw that photo, he…"
"We'll just keep an eye on him for now." Rias said with a smile.
The door then opened and in entered Akeno. "Ara, ara. We're all gathered already?"
"Akeno! You're late." Rias said.
"I've brought guests." Akeno said as Sona and Tsubaki entered.
"Excuse us." Sona entered.
"She has some very urgent business with buchou." Akeno informed.
"Yes. Rias, would you please accompany me to my house? No one will be able to interfere there." Sona said.
"This sounds like serious business." Rias said.
"Yes, quite serious." Sona said.
In the outskirts of the town
"He's in there somewhere. And he has a lot of chakra stored up inside him." A girl wearing a black hoodie said. Her upper face was covered by the shade from her hood as only bangs of black hair, and a blue eye was visible. And a bug landed on her finger tip. "They sensed it clearly."
"Jin and Fujiwara are going to want a full report." A young man said, he wore a black west and a red shirt underneath it, black jeans, and snickers. He had piercing in his nose and his lower lip. He had black hair tied into a spiky ponytail and bangs covering his right eye, his eyes were narrow brown, and he had a typical expression showing signs of boredom. "Keep one of those bugs on him, we need to see what he's capable of."
"Yeah, yeah. I know." The girl replied sounding a little annoyed as the bug flew off from her fingertip and towards the town. "So, what happens after we have done our little report?"
"That will be up to Jin and Fujiwara to decide." The man replied.
"Jin's probably going to want to fight him, see what he's made off first hand." The young girl said with a creepy chuckle.
"What a drag. I really just want to sit back and watch some clouds. Yet I'm stuck doing this stupid crap." The man said with a yawn.
"Get your lazy butt in gear, we're supposed to meet Hana back at the base for a mission." The girl kicked the man in the side and began walking.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm coming you creepy bug lady." The man said with an annoyed expression.
"Shut up, you delinquent." The girl retorted.
Back in town with Itachi, Issei, and Asia
As the trio walked on home they suddenly felt a dangerous energy coming from the house, warning them. "I-I'm getting chills." Asia uttered.
"Yeah, I'm feeling it too. Or rather, I've felt this feeling before." Issei said.
"Before?" Asia questioned.
"Yeah. Back when I met you and went to that church." Issei said as he widened his eyes in fear.
"An exorcist." Itachi said sharing Issei's expression.
"Mom!" Issei rushed into the house but when they entered all they heard was their mother laughing as if she was chatting with an acquaintance.
"And this is when Issei tore his swim trunks in the pool! And Itachi had to help him by lending his spares!" Their mother said as she was talking to two young girls wearing white robes, one had short blue hair with a green highlight and a sword of some kind covered in bandages next to her, the other girl had long chestnut hair tied into twin tails, and she had violet eyes.
"Mom?" Issei spoke.
"Oh, Itachi, Issei. Welcome home! Why do you look so shocked?" Their mother asked as Asia was hiding behind Issei and Itachi whom were staring at the two girls.
"Long time no see, Issei-kun, Itachi-kun." The chestnut-haired girl said as Issei gained a confused expression but Itachi remained calm. "Don't you remember me? It's me!"
"Uh…"
"Shidou Irina-san." Itachi said as Issei looked at him in shock.
"Wh-What?!" Issei questioned.
"She was such a tomboy back then, but now she's so girlish I almost didn't recognize her." Their mother said.
"W-Wait that's her?!" Issei questioned.
"Yes, the one you though were a boy." Itachi replied emotionlessly.
"Really? Issei how rude, you should have noticed that she was a girl back then!" Their mother scolded.
"I understand. I was pretty boyish back then. But it looks like a lot's happened while we were apart. You can never really tell how people will change!" Irina said.
"Indeed." Itachi said keeping his calm.
"Itachi-kun, you're still so emotionless. I told you, you won't get many friends if you seem like such a downer." Irina said as Itachi twitched his eyes in annoyance.
"Yes, I remember…" Itachi said as Issei let out a nervous chuckle.
"Asia, why don't you go upstairs and rest for a while. You're probably exhausted." Issei said trying to come up with an excuse so that Asia could go upstairs.
"Y-Yes." Asia then walked up the stairs.
Itachi looked at the blue haired one whom been staring at them. 'She seems to know were Devils, I assume Irina must know as well. They're only keeping up the façade because of mother.' Itachi thought. After some talking the two girls eventually left. And a few minutes later Rias came rushing in through the door with a worried expression that turned into relief when she saw that they were okay.
Ones they were gathered in Itachi's room Rias embraced the three of them in a hug. "I'm so glad that your all right! I will take much better care of you three later on. I'm so glad."
"I can't… breath…" Itachi uttered as his face was stuck between Rias's breasts. She quickly let go and sat on Itachi's bed.
"What where they doing here?" Itachi asked.
"I don't really know, but I'm meeting them tomorrow." Rias replied.
"Tomorrow?!" Issei questioned.
"After school tomorrow, they'll be coming to the club room." Rias announced.
Later the next day in the clubroom
"We appreciate your cooperation." The blue haired girl said as she and Irina sat on the couch opposite from Rias and the others stood behind her. "I am Xenovia."
"I am Shidou Irina."
"For what reason, would servants of God desire to meet a Devil?" Rias asked.
"Although one is yet to be found, the six remaining Excaliburs have been kept by three divisions of the Church. Three of those have been stolen by Fallen Angels." Irina said.
"Stolen?" Issei questioned.
"The ones that we have are this, the Holy Sword of Destruction, Excalibur Destruction…" Xenovia said referring to her large sword in bandages.
"…and my Holy Sword of Mimicry, Excalibur Mimic!" Irina said referring to a frilly band on her shoulder.
"So, what do you want from us?" Rias asked.
"This particular problem is between us and the Fallen Angels. We can't afford to deal with the Devils of this city." Xenovia said.
"You're awfully condescending. You thought we would side with the Fallen Angels to do something to the Holy Swords?" Rias asked feeling a little angry.
"Devils despise Holy Swords. You're in the same position as the Fallen Angels." Xenovia said as Rias's eyes glowed red. "If we must, we will completely destroy you, even if you are the sister of a maou."
'They basically want confirmation from Rias that we will stay out of their way.' Itachi thought.
"If you know that much already, then let me tell you something else: I will never side with a Fallen Angel. In the name of the Gremorys, I swear I will never do anything to humiliate the maous." Rias said.
Xenovia gained a small grin. "I am glad to hear that. That was just what our headquarters were after. I am sure the sister of a maou would not be so foolish."
"Then you must know that I will not side with you and your god, correct?"
"Of course. We simply would like you to pledge non-intervention in this ordeal." Xenovia said.
"Understood." Rias said.
"Thank you for your time." Xenovia and Irina stood up.
"Won't you stay for some tea?" Rias offered.
"I am sorry, but we cannot befriend Devils. We shall take our leave now." Xenovia and Irina walked towards the exit when suddenly Xenovia stopped and looked at Asia. "I've been wondering this since I visited the Hyoudou residence. Are you Asia Argento?"
"Y-Yes." Asia replied.
"I never thought I'd see a witch here." Xenovia said.
"Oh, you're that ex-nun who became a witch? I did hear that you were exiled, because you could even heal Devils and Fallen Angels, but I never thought you'd become a Devil!" Irina said.
"U-Umm… I…" Asia grabbed on to her skirt.
"Asia…" Issei muttered.
"To think that a saint has become a Devil… Nobody's perfect, I suppose." Xenovia said as Asia was shaking in fear.
"Hey! Shut the hell-" Issei shouted but was stopped by his brother.
"Stay down." Itachi ordered.
"Do you still believe in our god?" Xenovia asked.
"Xenovia, she's a Devil." Irina said.
"Still, some blasphemers feel some guilt and retain a little of their faith. I can sense that from her." Xenovia said.
"Oh, really? Hey, Asia-san, do you still believe in the Lord, even though you're a Devil?" Irina asked.
"I-I just can quite let it go." Asia said as tears fell down from her eyes. "I believed in him all my life."
"In that case, let us kill you now. Whatever sins you have committed. God will always forgive you. I will punish you…" Xenovia gave Asia a cold glare.
Itachi then appeared in front of Xenovia with his katana directed at her neck. "In this situation… it seems you want to start a war between us and your Church?"
"I have no intention of anything of that sort." Xenovia replied.
"Then could you take back that threat. After all Asia is now a servant of the Gremory household, and I myself view her as a little sister. So please… stand down." Itachi said activating his sharingan.
"You might want to lower your weapon… Devil." Xenovia said in a cold tone.
"Apologize." Itachi said as the katana vanished in a magic circle. "Will you take back that threat now?"
"No, it is my duty as a woman of faith." Xenovia said.
"Shut the hell up!" Issei went up to Xenovia's face. "You called Asia a witch?"
"In her current situation, it seems fitting." Xenovia said.
"You're the ones that started calling her a saint. Asia was…always alone!" Issei said shaking in anger.
"Issei-san." Asia muttered.
"A saint needs only God's love. Those seeking more love and friendship are not worthy of sainthood." Xenovia said.
"Screw faith… and God. You're all idiots for not understanding Asia's kindness!" Issei said.
Xenovia narrowed her eyes. "What are you to Asia Argento?"
"Her family! Her friend! Her ally! If you do anything to Asia, I won't be afraid to fight every last one of you!" Issei said as Itachi let out a sigh but still had a smile on his face.
"May I take that as a challenge to the entire Church? What a bold statement from such a feeble Devil." Xenovia said with a smirk.
"Issei, stop it." Rias ordered.
"Very well. I will be your opponent." Kiba said having entered the room.
"Who are you?" Xenovia asked.
"Your senpai." Kiba replied.
"Yuuto?" Rias uttered.
"Guess there is no stopping them." Itachi sighed.
Everyone gathered outside with Kiba and Issei facing the Church duo. "Let us begin." Xenovia said as she and Irina removed their robes leaving them in a black combat gear that was a tight unitard with a sliver cross around their neck.
"Is this really okay? Should we be fighting Church affiliates on our own accord?" Akeno asked.
"This is simply an unofficial sparring match." Rias replied.
"If either of our higher-ups knew, we'd be in big trouble!" Irina turned the ribbon around her arm into a katana.
"We'll do our best not to kill you." Xenovia said as she removed the bandages around her sword. Kiba then let out a small laughter. "Your laughing?"
"Indeed, because I finally found what I've been dying to destroy." Kiba said as multiple swords popped up from the ground.
"Sword Birth… I remember now. It was said one subject from the Holy Sword Experiment escaped disposal." Xenovia said.
"Hyoudou Issei-kun!" Irina said with stars in her eyes.
"Wh-What?"
"I can't believe my two old friends became Devils during out years apart. Is destiny toying with us to cause such tragedy?!" Irina said.
"Oh, I remember now… She used to have a crush on Issei." Itachi commented.
"Is that so?" Rias asked with a surprised look.
"I finally became compatible with a Holy Sword and even flew over the sea thinking I could be of use! Is this another of the Lord's trails?! Although, overcoming this will bring me one step closer to him!" Irina said passionately.
"She's completely lost in her own faith…" Issei said with a sweat drop.
"Come, Issei-kun. Let me use my Excalibur to punish you for your sins! Amen!" Irina charged.
"Boosted Gear!" Issei activated his Boosted Gear gauntlet.
Boost!
Irina moved an incredible high speed and appeared above Itachi with her sword raised above her head. "Look out, Issei-san!" Asia warned.
Issei quickly dodged as a piece of his uniform was cut off. "That was close! Sparring my ass! You're trying to kill me!"
"I've returned to my hometown after all these years, only to have to slay a friend from my past! Oh, how tragic a fate that binds us!" Irina said with a smile that showed that she was enjoying this.
"Remember don't get directly hit by it, or it's game over!" Itachi warned.
"I know! I know!"
Boost!
"The Red Dragon's Gauntlet, Asia Argento's Twilight Healing, your Sword Birth, and those strange eyes of Itachi Hyoudou… They are all truly unique." Xenovia said.
"My ability has its roots in the grudges of those held captive with me…" Kiba pulled out a sword from the ground and focused on Xenovia's Excalibur with hatred. "Grudges born as my friends were killed in the depths of despair! And I'm going to use this ability to shatter the Excaliburs and their wielders!" Kiba said as he and Xenovia dueled with their blades, for each strike sparks flew around them.
"Merely touching a Holy Sword will hurt a Devil." Rias said as she and the others watched the battle.
"We're at a grave disadvantage." Akeno said.
"Yuuto can make up for it with his speed, but Issei…" Rias said when suddenly they saw Issei block Irina's sword with his Boosted Gear.
"I can't believe how lucky he is sometimes." Itachi commented as he used his sharingan to memorize the fight for later analyzes.
"I suppose the Holy Sword has no effect on that arm." Rias said.
"No, it has some affect. The gauntlet mostly blocks the affect since it's a dragon's arm, but it does not fully belong to the dragon." Itachi said as he saw Issei twitch his body in pain slightly.
"You shouldn't be as strong as this, Issei-kun!" Irina pouted.
"I've got no other choice now. No, I'll regret if I don't do it! No, this is the only chance I'll get!" Issei said as his Boosted Gear let out a green glow.
Boost!
Issei then gained a perverted grin which Itachi and Koneko recognized instantly. "What's with that dirty look?" Irina questioned.
"Be careful. Issei-senpai can annihilate the clothing of any woman he touches." Koneko warned.
"Clothing?!" Irina questioned with a blush.
"Koneko-chan! Why'd you warn the enemy?!" Issei questioned.
"You are the enemy of all women." Koneko bluntly replied.
"That was a low blow…" Issei bowed his head down in defeat.
"What a satanic ability, Issei-kun! Not only have you become a Devil, but you even let evil stain your heart! O Lord, I beg you not to forgive this sinful pervert!"
"He's scum." Koneko commented as the girls chuckled nervously.
"He's actually been a pervert the whole time though. It had nothing to do with him becoming a Devil. He was even a pervert when we meet her, the only reason she didn't know back then was because he thought she was a boy." Itachi commented.
Kiba put his sword down and pulled out two new ones. "Burn to crisp and be frozen solid!" One of the swords was then merged with fire as another one turned to ice. Kiba charged at Xenovia swinging the swords.
"Naïve!" Xenovia swung her Excalibur of destruction and destroyed the swords. She then stabbed the sword into the ground making the whole ground shake as a large crater formed around her. "There's a reason Excalibur Destruction is called the Holy Sword of Destruction!"
"If one of the seven holds this much power, I wonder how the original was." Itachi commented.
"That Xenovia, she just goes and blows the ground away out of nowhere. Well then, let's finish this." Irina charged.
Boost!
"Now!"
Explosion!
Issei let out a huge amount of energy as his devil batwings popped out from his back. "Dress… Break!" Issei leaped at Irina with a perverted grin.
"How indecent!" Irina dodged with a blush.
"I'm not giving up!" Issei charged again.
"No! Stop! No!" Irina dodged every attack.
"Issei-kun's movements have suddenly become swift and fluid!" Akeno said.
"It's just a testosterone rush." Koneko commented.
"You're crazy!" Irina tried running away when suddenly Issei stood in front of her.
"Don't underestimate my perversion!" Issei leaped at Irina who ducked and Issei was heading straight towards the gang. He then touched someone leaving a magic circle on their clothing, he then fell to the ground and accidently flicked his fingers as pieces of clothing touched the ground.
"KYYYAAAA!" Asia screamed.
"Ara, ara." Akeno giggled with a blush.
"I-Itachi…" Rias said with a big blush as Itachi stood there naked with a dark expression.
Issei simply looked up in horror as he was looking into Itachi's sharingan. While every girl had a blush in their face, Rias and Akeno even both gained small nose bleed, even Xenovia had a faint blush. "I-I'm sorry…" Issei uttered. He then paled as what he saw between his brother's legs was a large snake. He then looked down in his own area and began to cry. "N-No fair…" Itachi then punched him flying across the field.
"For crying out loud." Itachi muttered in annoyance. He then looked back at the girls, Koneko was covering her eyes while blushing slightly, Asia was desperately trying to cover her eyes, Rias and Akeno on the other hand enjoyed the view as much as they could. Itachi quickly covered himself with his hands, and quickly used a magic circle to change into his tracksuit. "I feel so violated…"
Issei then got back up. "I feel as if my manhood has lost a battle." He then focused on to Irina. "I will not fail this time!" Issei charged at Irina whom dodged and swung her blade.
"I suppose I underestimated you a bit. You're very agile… but…" Irina said with a smirk as Issei fell to his knees.
Ow! What the hell's going on?" Issei looked down to see a cut on his stomach.
"But it only scraped him!" Asia said.
"It's because it's a Holy Sword." Akeno said.
"This is nothing…" Issei tried to get back up.
Reset!
Issei then fell to the ground. "Dammit… I can't… move!" Issei's Boosted Gear then vanished.
"What's going on?" Asia questioned.
"He has no more energy to support the Boosted Gear." Akeno explained.
"It's over." Irina turned her sword back into a ribbon tied around her arm.
"I suppose it is. Shidou Irina-san, we acknowledge your victory." Rias announced.
Kiba then concentrated his energy into his sword making it grow in size. "Your Holy Sword versus my Demonic Sword… Let's see which is more powerful!" Kiba charged.
"Tough luck." Xenovia tilted to the side and slammed the handle of the sword into Kiba's gut. Kiba the coughed-up blood and fell to the ground. "You are equipped with a variety of Demonic Swords and exceptional agility. But not only do you lack the power to wield a giant sword, you slow yourself down by doing so. You even lack the ability to make that judgment."
"S-Stop."
"Try cooling off a little before your next fight, senpai." Xenovia mocked and walked away. "That will do it. Would you agree, Rias Gremory?"
"Yes. I appreciate you not finishing off my servants with your Holy Swords." Rias said.
"Well then, we'll be counting on your cooperation on the aforementioned matter." Xenovia said putting back on her robe.
"There's one thing I would like to know: have you found out which Fallen Angels stole the Holy Swords?" Rias asked.
"A leader of the Grigori, Kokabiel, was directly involved." Xenovia replied.
"You were going to fight him alone? Are you trying to kill yourself?" Rias asked.
"We would rather destroy the Holy Swords than let them rest in the hands of Fallen Angels." Xenovia said.
"We know what were doing. One of us has already been killed. He was a priest who was investigating this city." Irina said.
"It was him. Freed Zelzan did it." Kiba said.
"Freed?!" Issei questioned.
"That stray exorcist?" Rias questioned.
"By pure coincidence, I was there when it happened. He was wielding a Holy Sword." Kiba said.
"A stray exorcist, you say? So, that's who did it. We appreciate the information, but we ask that you not meddle in our affairs hereafter." Xenovia said as Kiba twitched in anger. "Goodbye."
"Hold on, Xenovia! All right, we'll get going now. Issei-kun, anytime you feel like getting butchered, just give me a bell, okay?" Irina kissed her silver cross. "Amen!" Then they walked away.
Late on when everyone was gathered in the clubroom. "Hold on Yuuto! I won't let you leave me. You're a Gremory knight." Rias said.
"Buchou, I'm sorry." Kiba walked out the door.
"Yuuto!"
Itachi stared at the door. 'Kiba seems to get consumed with his goal for vengeance.'
"Indeed, I have seen many people walk down that path, it never ends well." Itachi Uchiha said inside Itachi's head.
'Is there any way to help him? I would rather not lose a good friend like him.' Itachi thought.
"First, we need to know the full story, which means you have to ask him yourself. Then we can find out a way to help him." Itachi Uchiha said.
Next morning after school
Kiba was walking out the school gates when suddenly someone grabbed onto his shoulder, he turned around and saw Itachi. "Hey. Want to hang out?"
"Itachi-senpai?" Kiba questioned.
"We haven't done much lately together. How about we go to karaoke or something? Or maybe just to get a bite to eat. Whatever I'm bored let's do something." Itachi said as Kiba only started at him in confusion.
"Huh?"
They were sitting at a café having some coffee. "So, the fan girls have really been more energetic for the last few days, how about you? Are they chasing you now all around campus like they usually do? Or have they resorted into something more extreme? Like follow you into the bathroom?" Itachi asked trying to make conversation.
"Itachi-senpai…"
"I even heard a rumor that you and Issei are gay now, then again I found out that the source was from Issei's two moron friends."
"Itachi-senpai, what is it you want?" Kiba asked.
"What do you mean?" Itachi questioned.
"Usually I'm the one who invites you to these kinds of things. What brings this on? Why are you suddenly so interested in hanging out?" Kiba asked.
"We're friends, aren't we? Is it that difficult to believe I'm trying to make an effort?"
"You never do anything unless you want something, or you want to know something. Usually you only focus on your studies and training to even bother with these kinds of things." Kiba said.
"Well seems like you've managed to analyze me somewhat, but you're wrong on some parts. Like why I do things, it's true sometimes I would like to get information and such. But sometimes I also just want to help my friends. Although that almost never happens since I have such few friends." Itachi said with a light chuckle.
"You really are a kind loving person, Itachi-senpai. But I know that you want to help me by knowing something." Kiba said with a sad smile.
"Heh, you know me so well. You truly are my best friend." Itachi said with a small smirk.
"You want to know about my past, don't you?" Kiba asked.
"I just want to hear it, how am I supposed to help you without knowing the full story?" Itachi said.
"Nii-san, Kiba." Issei's voice was heard as next to him were Saji, Koneko, Xenovia and Irina.
"Let's go to the park." Itachi said as they wall gathered in the park and Issei explained how he wanted to help Kiba by working together with Xenovia and Irina in order to destroy the Excaliburs.
"I see. But frankly, I'd rather not be getting permission to destroy an Excalibur from the people who wield them." Kiba said.
"Your words are full of contempt. I heard that you left the Gremorys. If you're s stray, I can slay you right here." Xenovia said with a cold glare.
"That's one idea." Kiba said with an equal cold glare as he grabbed on to a sword.
"Calm down! Let's not fight before we've even done anything." Issei went between them.
"Your hatred towards the Holy Sword Project is understandable. It is an affair that even we abhor. That's why the leader of the project was deemed a heretic and was exiled." Xenovia said.
"His name was Balba Galilei. He's also known as the Archbishop of Massacre." Irina said.
"Balba…" Kiba uttered in anger. "That man… he killed my…"
"He had a stray exorcist as his assistant." Xenovia said.
"Freed I assume." Itachi said.
"It's not uncommon for those exiled from the Church to work together. There's a good chance that Balba is a part of this incident." Xenovia said.
"Now I no longer have a reason to refuse cooperating with you." Kiba said.
"That seals the deal, then." Irina said.
"We will repay you for the meal someday, Emperor of Red Dragon, Hyoudou Issei." Xenovia said as she and Irina left.
"That worked out great, huh?" Issei said placing his hand on Saji's shoulder.
"Great my ass! Never mind how we could've been chopped up, we could've started a war between the Church and the Devils!" Saji said.
"Issei-kun." Kiba said.
"You've saved my ass untold times!" Issei said with a smile.
"I'd like you to take no part in this. This is my personal pursuit for vengeance. I'd rather not drag you into it." Kiba said.
"But we're family! We're friends! Am I wrong?" Issei said.
"You're not wrong, but…" Kiba said when Itachi placed his hand on his shoulder.
"Just give up, you're not going to be able to change his mind. Plus, are you really okay with Rias getting upset because of your foolishness?" Itachi said.
"Rias buchou, yes, it is thanks to the Holy Sword Project that I met her." Kiba said as he began explaining his past. On how they were all performed experiments on in belief that it was all for God. Then suddenly they decided to dispose of them when the project was declared a failure. How all of the other kids helped Kiba escape by holding the men from the church back. And when he was about to die he saw Rias whom took him in. "That's why I need to use their grudges to power my Demonic Swords and destroy the Excaliburs. As the sole survivor, it is my duty to get vengeance for my friends' deaths."
Saji was then crying from hearing Kiba's past. "Kiba! I didn't know that you'd gone through so much! I don't care what my president does to me! I'll do all I can to help, Hyoudou!" Saji said shaking Issei's hand.
"R-Really? Thanks."
Koneko then grabbed onto Kiba's sleeve. "I will also assist you."
"Koneko-chan?" Kiba questioned.
"I don't want you to go, Yuuto-senpai." Koneko said with a cute sad expression.
"Shoot. If even you're trying to stop me, I suppose I can't go on this one alone." Kiba said with a smile.
"Does that mean…?" Issei asked.
"Now that I know who my real enemy is, I'll gladly accept all your help." Kiba said.
"Then it is: One for all, and all for one!" Itachi said as they all raised their fists in the air.
""Yeah!""
That's the end for now!
Now like we said we will diverge from cannon by the end of this season. So we will keep going on mostly with the cannon story line until then with some changes here and there.
Anyway, we have a little issue between the two of us. We don't know who's going to get paired up with Koneko. My co-writer doesn't want her to be paired up with Issei since he doesn't think he deserves her. But at the same time, we have decided that we will only have a love triangle between Itachi, Rias, and Akeno. So, I was suggesting Kiba, but he decided to also suggest Gasper. So, let us know what you think about this in the reviews and maybe help us decide.
Also, who are these mysterious chakra users? Well guess we have to wait and find out.
Leave a review!
-Later!
