Dark red, cloud sky swirl around Kuoh, there are two figures in the courtyard one a woman who is on the ground holding her bleeding stomach, while the other is Nawin wearing all black holding a giant great sword on his shoulder, the mark on his right neck start to spread around his body as he glare down at the woman with his red eyes "N-no p-please I surrender don't kill me" she begs.
Nawin didn't listen as he walk toward her, clenching tightly at the handle then lift the great sword up "Your pleading won't help you" He said in a dark stoic tone, bringing the sword down at the screaming woman and slice her head clean off.
"Uh" Lucy shake her head, her right eye glow golden before turning back to normal, she blinks and look around to notice, she is standing next to Serafall who look at her a little worry "You okay?, you seem to be in a daze for a second there" the blond place her hand on her face 'What was that image?!' she looks at the older woman "..It's nothing, just a little tired that's all' Serafall didn't look convince with her student excuse but decided to ask her later about it.
"Well okay, Issei's match is about to start" she inform making the blond look at the ring seeing the brown haired jumping in, Lucy glance at her brother who is leaning against the wall with Akeno and Rias beside him, she look at his neck and suddenly an image appear showing the mark start spreading around him making her eyes widen, she blinks a couple of time and the image disappear only showing the mark in its usual form, 'Get a grip Lucy' she curse mentally then focus her attention on the match.
"It's been a while Issei" Matsuda grins while the brown haired look at him bored "Yeah it has and to be honest I'm kind of glad of it" he reply making the bold glare at him "You think your better than us after dating Rias Gremory well if I remember currently, last time I beat you in a fight!" Issei get into his stance "The result will be different now boldy"
Sirzech quickly start the match noticing the tension getting thicker between the two "I'll show you!" before Matsuda could take one step Issei runs toward him and deliver a elbow to his face sending him up, Issei jump up and kick his feet down to the boldy head then spins and send another kick to Matsuda face, making him crash to the ground, pass out with blood dripping from his nose. "The winner of this Match Issei Hyoudou" the crowd is in silence of shock especially the students, after a few second of silence they start clapping to the brown haired "That's my boy" Issei trip down seeing his Mother and Father are watching the whole event "huh you guys are here?!" he walk toward his parent's a little nervous after they saw him fight like that.
"Of course we aren't going to miss our son competition, sorry we're a little late" His father apologize, Issei smile "No it's okay I'm just glad you guys could make it I know you two are busy", "I never knew you were this good in fighting Sochi" Ms Hyoudou ask confuse, "The reason for that is because I've been teaching him to defend himself" Nawin said coming to his friend aid "Oh Nawin-san it's nice to see you again" The black haired smile at the parents "Yes It's good seeing you again Mr and Ms Hyoudou, glad that you two can join us, I'm sure my mother and father would enjoy talking to you guys".
The two parents give one last good luck to their son then joins Yao and the others, Issei sigh in relief when his parents leave the hearing distance "Thanks for backing me up Teme" the black haired nod "Sure and congratulation you finish your match in 5 seconds" Rias walk toward the two and show Issei her phone stop watch showing exactly 5 second "HA I told you I can do it!" he smirk.
"A little brutal though Issei" Kokoro comment seeing Matsuda being stretched out of the building "Someone told me that you should use a little more force to give them a clear massage and I'm sure my massage is delivered clearly, telling him to stay away from me" Issei reply making Nawin chuckle ar the brown haired using his line "Seems like you become a little more mature" he said making the brown haired grin.
"Next match is Nawin Makasha versus Motohama" '….. Oh god' every student in the building thought hearing that, even the girls can't help but feel bad for the perverted glasses who is shaking like a leaf wondering how Matsuda was able to convince him to do this. The group sees Nawin taking off his jacket and place it on the bench, he crack his neck then walk toward the ring "3 seconds" he said in his usual stoic tone.
"3 Seconds?!, no way" Issei blinks, Rias shrugs and prepare her watch "Who knows but Nawin-kun is known for accomplishing the impossible". Motohama hesitantly get in the ring, his body already full of sweat making Sirzech and Nawin mentally facepalm "Nawin-kun go easy, this guy looks like his about to pass out" the red haired whisper to his little brother "No promises".
"WOAW GO SOCHI!" Yao scream "He doesn't need cheering you know as well as I do this is a joke match Yao" Azazel comment making the black haired chuckle sheepishly "I guess your right". "Okay the next round will begin now" As Nawin was about to dash forward, cold wind blow across his face, he blinks and notice the whole room turn dark, he turns to the side and see all the group and student disappear into dust making his eyes widen in shock, the room wall start to peel off showing blood dripping from the wall.
"Hehehehe" A playful soft giggle echoes through the room making the black haired look up and is shock to see her sitting on the window, Nawin look at the girl as the wind blow her black hair but with the red moon shining at her fully, it make her hair shine in dark purple, she smile at him with happiness but also devious which is something she always does.
Nawin clench his hand, trying to keep his emotion in control "You always look like a devious person with that smile you know" he said with a soft tone making her giggle "That's why people always misjudge you but not me…. I can see the true you, like a open book" the girl smile at the black haired "The same can be said to you Nawin-kun, always hiding behind that mask but I know the true you…. An-" suddenly the whole place glow bright along with her as Nawin feel a fist slam to his face making him take a few step back.
The whole room change back to normal, showing everyone looking in complete shock seeing Motohama just punch Nawin right in the face, Yao eyes narrow sensing her son magic going in unusual pattern, "Hahaha I punch him that's all you got Dark Prince" Motohama begin taunts after being able to land a hit at the black haired.
'Oh shit' the group thought feeling the black haired power just spike, Nawin lower his head making the bangs shadow his eyes, 'What was she going to say next?…. I won't know because of this pathetic human' he looks up showing Motohama his deathly, dark eyes freezing him in fear "You just made the biggest mistake in your pathetic life" Nawin slam his fist at Motohama stomach making the brown haired throw up blood, the black haired then send a knee to his face, breaking Motohama glasses and nose, Nawin grab the daze brown haired face and slam it down to the floor hard knocking him out of conscious.
The whole room stare in silence seeing a brutal scene "Winner of this match Nawin Makasha" Sirzech announce looking at the black haired worry, Nawin leave the ring immediately and head to the door, "Nawi-" Akeno was about to reach for him as he is near the door but Nawin glare at her clearing telling her to back off making the raven haired freeze in shock as he walk out of the door.
Outside
Nawin walk to the side of the building as he can feel his blood boil, it took almost everything for him not to kill Motohama, "Stupid humans" he mutter leaning against the building wall, "Master!" A happy Hana walk toward him and show a beautiful painting of the familiar forest "What do you think" "THUNK" Hana jump a bit and turn seeing one of the tree is cut in half clean by some unknown force, she shakily turn back to her master seeing his eyes glow red, he place his hand on his face "…. Sorry I tend to lose control sometime, anyway"
Nawin remove his hand from his face and look at the drawing "It looks beautiful…. Good job Hana" he pets her head then begin making way back to the building with a slightly shaken hydra following him 'That power….' She glance back at the cut tree 'Could that have been me?'.
Fight Club
Lucy stare at her opponent Kokoro, Sirzech walk in the middle seeing the two are ready "Okay then Begin" Kokoro launch at the blond with her right fist forward, Lucy bring her right hand up and stop it easily, the wind on the ground blow from the force.
Lucy grab the orange haired fist tightly then throw it to the side and deliver a punch to her stomach but Kokoro bring her left hand, blocking it in time, she clench her right hand and send it to the blond making her jump back avoiding the punch.
A door open making the group turn to see Nawin coming back with Hana, Lucy glance at her brother who ignore her and lean against a wall, crossing his arms making the blond feel a bit hurt. Kokoro runs toward Lucy and deliver an elbow to her stomach, sending the blond sliding back, holding her stomach in pain, she glare at the orange haired then charge toward her. Kokoro block a fist aiming for her face easily, she grab Lucy arm and throw her over her shoulder, the blond spins in the air regaining her balance but receive a kick to the back sending her crashing to the ground.
Serafall bite her lips wondering why her student isn't taking this seriously 'What is she doing? She can easily win this' The Pink Satan glance at Nawin seeing him leaning on a wall, arm cross and his eyes close 'I see'.
Lucy get's back up and feel blood dripping from her mouth, she wipe it away and get to her stance again, She glance at her brother seeing him not paying attention at all, she turn back to Kokoro who send a flying kick to her making Lucy block it with her hand but she is push back from the force of the kick.
"What is she doing" Jonathan whisper to his wife who is looking at the with anxious "Nawin is the problem" she reply "Lucy love her brother and want him to see her getting better but his ignoring her right now, it's like someone you admire and care deeply for doesn't want to see you anymore" She continue.
"Would you fight already" Kokoro said annoy sending a right hook aiming at Lucy face making the blond stumble back, she spit out blood and send a kick to the orange haired who block it easily and grab the blond feet and throws her to the ground.
Sirzech is getting uncomfortable with how the match is going, he can see the blond isn't fighting back seriously but she doesn't look like she wants to give up either, he can easily see Kokoro wanting to end this match to. The crowd beginning cheering for Lucy but nothing is working, "Why isn't she fighting back" Akeno ask Rias "I not completely sure, Issei don't do anything" the red haired turn seeing the brown haired is about to run in the ring "Why she getting beaten up?!, Kokoro doesn't want to do this anymore, I can see it in her eyes" he reply.
Sirzech open his mouth but Lucy glare at him "Don't" she said then receive a kick to the stomach sending her barreling back. The red haired clench his fist, Hana who is sitting on the bench look at her master seeing him tapping his finger at his arm, he clench his teeth "LUCY!" he yell snapping his eyes open, everyone turn to him "WOULD YOU STOP MESSING AROUND AND END THIS ALREADY, SHOW ME WHAT YOU CAN DO!" the blond look at her brother in shock.
Lucy slowly form a smile, Kokoro turn back to her opponent to only receive a kick to the chin sending her up, She open her eyes and see Lucy above her "I'll be taking this match" the blond said and deliver a punch to Kokoro stomach who block it and send her own punch to the blond who lean her head to the side dodging it, she shoot her hand and grab Kokoro wrist then start spinning her around as the whole spectator watch in shock and awe.
After a minute of spinning Lucy throws the daze Kokoro to the ground but before she reach the ground the blond speed down and delivers a hard kick to the orange haired stomach following by a punch to the chest and another spin kick to the stomach sending her crashing to ring hard leaving a dent on the ground.
Sirzech see Kokoro barely conscious after receiving the combo attack "Winner of this Match Lucy Makasha" The crowd cheers at the grinning blond who raise her right hand up giving them a peace sign, Nawin lips form a small smile at his sister victory 'Just keep getting stronger Lucy'.
Issei jumps into the ring and carry his queen bridal style, he looks up at Lucy and smile "Good match Lucy though I don't think it's completely fair since Koko here just been a devil less than a week" He whisper at the blond, the orange haired punch Issei in the chest making him cough slightly "I lose fair and square Issei, plus I give her some good punches and kicks so don't treat me like I'm a newbie" she said "That's true" Lucy said making Issei sigh and nod "Well congratulation on your win" he said then walk out of the ring.
"I can stand up by myself" Kokoro jumps out of the brown haired arm "You handle yourself quite well out there Kokoro" Rias said "Come on I know that match could have ended quick if she took it seriously" Kokoro said making the red haired nod "I won't lie, that is true" the orange haired nod "Hmm at least I got beaten by a strong opponent not a weak one like him" she points at Issei "HEY! I'm not weak" he yells "Sure, sure".
"Next Match Issei Hyoudou versus Koneko Toujou" The brown haired blink "Woaw what no way, I'm not fighting Koneko-chan" He said "I want to beat your face" Koneko comment walking to the ring, tightening her glove, Issei sweat drop at her comment "Nice to know you love me Koneko-chan" he mutter a little depress "Now now Issei-kun, I'll give you an advice, take this match seriously, if there is one thing Koneko hate is that people underestimating her for her height" Rias said "So don't make her hate you more okay" Issei nod though still hesitant.
Lucy jump out of the ring and walk back to Serafall who sigh at her "What am I going to do with you, you could have ended it quick but ended up being a punching bag" She said then place a bandage at the blond bruise cheek, Sirzech raise his eyebrow seeing how his childhood friend is acting 'Well would you look at that'. Lucy scratches her head sheepishly "Sorry bu-" "I know what you're going to say but Lucy you need to take things seriously, you can't expect your brother to be with you in every battle to help or encourage you" Serafall cut her off, the blond expression turn sad but she nod knowing it's true.
'You did well Lucy' Nawin voice whisper through the blond mind, making her turn in shock to the black haired who send her a soft smile, she smile back and nod, she glance at her ring seeing the red diamond shine 'So that's how he did it' 'Always have full confidents at yourself Lucy, never have any doubts, and stand strong by yourself, I can't be there every time' he said his final word before the red diamond stop glowing.
"Well the next match after this will be interesting" Lord Gremory said "Yeah there only two left and its Nawin and Lucy" Azazel finish "Will Onee-chan be able to fight Onii-chan?" Asia asks a little worry "Don't worry Asia just think of it as a friendly spar" Jonathan said making the smaller blond nod.
"Okay you two ready?" Sirzech said while giving his wife a wink making her sweat drop wondering why a King Satan like him is doing this. The two nods making the red haired begin the match, Koneko tighten her black gloves and get to her stance with Issei doing the same.
"GO EASY ON THE GIRL SOCHI!" Ms Hyoudou yell waving a flag of Issei's face on it making the brown haired sweat drop "Why do they always go to an extreme length" "The next Match Begin now" Koneko immediately run toward the brown haired and deliver a punch to his stomach sending him crashing to the ring post "Ow" Issei groan then here a foot step running toward him making him use the post to jump over Koneko who was about to deliver another punch.
Koneko spin and try to deliver a back hand but Issei grab her arm stopping her movement, "Sorry for this" He pulls her forward to him and deliver a hard punch to the white haired stomach making her spit out air losing her breathing. Issei then throws her to the other post.
Everyone start to cheer for Koneko making Issei sweat drop but the group isn't cheering for either side "Come on pervert is that all you got" Koneko stand up and pet her stomach "Can you just forfeit" Koneko get to her stance "No" Issei really didn't want to continue the match suddenly an idea pop in his brain "If you surrender I will buy a bucket loads of candy and give it to you next week".
"… Okay" Everyone look at the white haired in shock, wonder if what they just heard is correct, Koneko drop her stance "I forfeit" Sirzech chuckle and call the match, Koneko walk toward the sighing brown haired and punch him in the stomach, sending him flying out of the ring "If you don't live up to your promise I will personally kill you" She said in a stoic but dark tone making the brown haired who slide down the wall nod muttering got it.
Koneko walk out of the ring and take a seat next to her blond haired friend who look at her confuse "Why did you forfeit Koneko-chan?" "I don't really feel like fighting and free candy" She reply taking a box of cookies that the blond brought with her "I ate a couple if you don't mind" Asia said making the white haired nod "It's okay".
"Next Match who ever win will go against Issei and will decide who the winner is, now then Nawin Makasha and Lucy Makasha come to the ring for the next match" Serafall pet her student head "Now then go show him how good you've gotten, you may not be able to use your powers but show him your spirit and strength" she said making the blond nod.
Nawin sigh and walk into the ring, he glance at the group seeing them cheering him and Lucy on, "Good luck on the match Nawin-kun" a voice said making the black haired turn seeing Akeno giving him a supporting smile, he smile back and nod "Thank Akeno and sorry for my early action, I was angry" the raven haired shake her head "Don't worry you have to do something much worse to make me angry" the black haired chuckled then jumps into the ring.
Lucy front flip into the ring and get to her stance making the black haired look at her with amusement seeing her adrenaline, "Seems like you two are ready" Sirzech said then start the match, immediately Lucy dash toward the black haired and deliver a fist to his chest, Nawin bring his hand forward stopping her, the spectator feel a sudden wind blown at them, Lucy smirk then send her left leg to her brother side making him block it using his other hand.
Nawin eyes widen noticing her plan, Lucy send her free left hand toward his face making the black haired release his grip and lean back dodging her attack, Nawin kick Lucy in the stomach as she is still in air, sending the blond back. Lucy slid back to the ground and dash toward him again, she send a spin kick making Nawin move his right hand to the side blocking it, the blond then send her left feet above the his head making Nawin use his other arm stopping it.
Lucy smirk and send her fist toward the black haired opening face, but Nawin grab her legs tightly and start spinning the blond making her lose balance, the black haired throw her away, Lucy back flip at the last second and land on her feet "Nice try but you have to do something better than that Lucy" Nawin said.
Lucy take a step back, trying to come up with a tactics 'Even though he isn't even in his stance, I can see he have no opening at all' she looks at the black haired who is standing still with his arm cross looking at her stoic.
Nawin uncross his arm making the blond body tense knowing his going to strike, the black haired dash toward the blond and deliver a punch toward her face which she block into with her fist, Nawin shot his left arm around the blond neck and pull her forward and use his right leg to swipe her feet making the blond lose her balance, Nawin send his right fist to her stomach, sending her to the ground hard.
Lucy cough out air feeling the sudden blow as she lay on the ground, she looks up seeing Nawin looking down at her blankly, "Tsk" Lucy send a kick but the black haired block it with his hand and grip her leg tightly and throw her over his shoulder, slamming her to the ground.
Serafall tap her arm getting anxious 'Nawin-kun close combat ability is amazing, Lucy can't find the right opening at all, even I'm having a hard time to find one' She bite her lips knowing it will be hard for her student to win this if not impossible.
Lucy shakily get back up and send a fist to the black haired in front of her who catch it easily, the blond push herself forward and deliver a surprise punch to the black haired stomach with her other hand making him let go of his grip as he stumble back.
Nawin look up seeing Lucy aiming both her fist to his stomach but he jump and stand her fist for a second before jumping off it, and spin kick the blond at the back sending her crashing to the ground forward. Nawin glance at the clock seeing it's getting late '1:00… the day sure pass fast, I need to end this know, there still another match left' Lucy stand back up, she looks at her brother and could have sworn she saw his eyes flash red for a second.
Nawin dash toward her but stop when he notice the room start getting colder making his eyes widen, "What the?" Venelana mutter seeing the parents and student start passing out one by one. "This is the same like last time" Hana mutter feeling the familiar cold air, a giant snow cloud appear at the end of the room.
"KYAAAAAA" A shrieking scream echoes through the room making everyone flinch, "That scream" Yao look at the cloud and see a five ghouls crawling out from it, they all look at Nawin ignoring all the human laying in front of them as they crawl toward the ring. Nawin move in front of his sister protecting her "Stand back" he orders making the blond nod.
Nawin summons the Twisted Etcher and start its motor, making the chain spin "Nawin Makasha" One of them said in a deep, cracking tone shocking everyone 'Impossible I thought Ghouls don't have the intelligence to talk' Sirzech said mentally. "What do you want with me?" Nawin ask seeing the one of the ghouls walking in front of group twisting it's neck in disturbing angles.
"Our Master wants you" it said making Azazel, Yao, Jonathan, and Nawin eyes narrow "Is it Sayomi Dracul?" the black haired ask holding his sword up "No no NOOOOOOO" Suddenly it jump toward Nawin making him lift his sword up blocking it's sharp claw aiming toward him.
Nawin push it back out of the ring and jump up in the air, he dispel the twisted etcher, replacing it with a shadow lance, he hold the lance with both his hands and slam it down to one of the Ghouls right through its chest while sending the others back from the force.
One of them quickly regains balance and dash toward the Makasha but Lucy appears in front of it and sends a flaming punch to its face sending it crashing to the wall. Nawin raise the lance up and throw it to another ghoul that was coming toward him, "KYAAA" it scream in pain as the lance pierce through it stomach and pins the two ghouls on the wall.
One of them come running toward the family, specifically to Yao, the black haired look at it stoically as it jump toward her with its claws pointing toward her. Yao eyes glow red as she was about to counter but suddenly a devastating red beam blast the creature to dust making them blink, the others turn to see smoke coming from Venelana right palm, "I want to stretch my arm anyway" she smile making them chuckle.
The last ghoul jump toward the battered Kokoro but Issei appear in front of it with a Rotation ready in his right palm "DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT" He slam the rotation to the ghoul stomach, sending it flying across the room. Nawin walk toward the two ghouls that is impaled by his lance, "Y-you can't e-escape him" it mutter before all of them disburse in a cloud of snow.
Nawin eyes narrow wondering who this mysterious person is, he pull the lance out of the wall and dispel it. 'It isn't Sayomi so who' Suddenly another image appear showing a girl with long black haired, blank slit silver eyes and pointy ears, suddenly the mark glow making the black haired drop to his knee holding his neck in pain "Onii-san!" Lucy run toward her kneeling brother, she sees the mark glow in purple making her eyes widen.
Azazel and Yao glance at each other before looking back at the black haired, Sirzech make his way toward Nawin as Akeno dash past him to the black haired. "Girls move back so I can look at the mark" Sirzech said in a serious tone making the two nod thought hesitant, as they step back Sirzech kneel down and remove Nawin hand, looking at the glowing mark 'It's getting worse, my seal isn't holding it back anymore' Sirzech touch it and his eyes widen at what he found 'I-Impossible, the mark is actually taking my seal powers and converting it to it's own!'.
Sirzech clench his hand wondering what he could do 'I can't give the seal more of my power, it will do more damage on him if it's getting stronger' Suddenly Nawin slap Sirzech hand away from him shocking the red haired "Get away from me" he mutter standing back up then disappear in black flash.
"Damn" Lucy was about to dash off but Serafall appear beside her and grabbing the blond shoulder "Don't" she said "But I-" Serafall glare at the blond making Lucy shut her mouth "It's getting worse isn't it" Azazel walk toward the red haired who stand back up "Yes and I don't know what will happen if it keeps going like this" Akeno walk toward Azazel and grab him by the shirt, pulling him close to her "YOU SHOULD KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, TELL ME WHY CAN'T YOU STOP WHAT EVER THAT MARK IS DOING TO HIM" Akeno yell, her eyes flash yellow in rage.
Azazel look at the raven haired girl blankly, not knowing how to answer "Akeno I don't even fully know what it is but the mark is feeding from Nawin's Magic and try to take control over him, but it's also giving him power" "A dark, uncontrollable power right" Rias said walking toward him, Akeno release the fallen angel, Azazel take a step back and sigh "We don't know much about it yet, I still need sometime" "We don't even know who gave it to him" Sirzech add.
'Draconic Mark' Issei remember one of the Akumi member whisper 'I heard her said that when Nawin was using the Demonic Lightning at her' Issei was about to tell the others but 'No I can't if I tell them that then I will break the promise with Nawin' 'Issei I don't want you to tell anyone about Akeno counterpart we just saw, there's still too many unanswered question' the black haired words run though Issei mind making him clench his fist.
"His doing it well holding it this far" Yao said making everyone turn to her "Just leave him be, his not a child, he can take care of himself" Akeno was about to protest but she knew arguing with the woman in front of her his just a bad idea "Well we should wake the parents and students up then, Issei-san you will be the winner for this event" Lord Gremory said "What I'm not taking the credit of something I didn't even win to get" Issei protest "We need a winner and since Nawin and Lucy battle have been interrupt it's yours to take, with you being in the next round" "Just take it Issei don't make things difficult" Rias said placing her hand on the brown haired shoulder making him sigh "Fine but I'm taking it with a grain of salt"
Mountain of Kuoh
Nawin sigh sitting on the bench, looking at the beautiful view showing the whole Kuoh city, 'I was able to calm the mark down Nawin-kun but be careful in the future understand, it seems whatever you were thinking about, activate it or it could be something else' Sairex inform making the black haired nod.
The black haired touch his neck then bring his hand in front of him seeing purple magic swirling around his fingers 'This power….' "Nawin-san?!" a soft child like voice said making the black haired glance behind seeing Wendy standing beside a tree wearing a white sundress with blue blossoms, Nawin raise his eyebrow wondering why the blue haired isn't in school.
"Wendy… what are you doing here, aren't you suppose to me in school" The blue haired hesitantly walk toward him, "U-hmm well I decide to not go since I want to stay and keep Misako company" Nawin eyes widen, he silently curse himself for not visiting the pink haired for a while now 'Don't feel guilty Nawin-kun after all these past few days have been busy for you' Sairex reassure.
Nawin shake his head and stand up "If you don't mind me asking what are you doing here then if you aren't in the Ichiru Bakery" The blue haired poke her fingers together "W-well I thought of visiting my grandma since I haven't seen her in a while" She reply, the black haired glance at the village direction 'It's been about a week since the incident, I'm sure everything is back to normal but I should be sure'.
Nawin walk toward the blue haired "Well do you want me to company you there, after that we can head to see Misako" he said making the blue haired look at him surprise before nodding "Okay".
"Nawin-san?" the blue haired call out as the two walking through a forest path "Hmmm" "If you don't mind me asking, are you and Misako close friends?" The black haired glance at her for a second "May I know why you're asking that?" Wendy look at the ground "Umm Well I notice ever since she met you, she's been more happy, even though she sick most of the time, but she seem to have more spirit compare to before".
The wind blow around the two, leaf swirl around them "Hmm I guess you could say that, me and Misako are close, I've been helping her ever since she move to Kuoh Academy as much as I can even though I have allot of other things to take care of, I can't be there everytime" Nawin reply as the two arrive at the village.
Wendy runs in front as the villagers greets her with a warm welcoming smile, Nawin walk behind in a much slower pace, he look at the villagers seeing them returning to normal again 'So the spell that Stray Devil cast if gone, I guess it stop when Issei defeat her, the village sure have a welcoming air'.
"Grandma!" The black haired turn to see Wendy running toward a old woman who looks quite similar to Wendy, her hair is white but with blue strips at the end, brown eyes, but what the Makasha is quite surprise with is that she doesn't look as old as he thought she would, 'She looks like she's in her middle 60s or late 50s, I thought she would be older'.
"Wendy! It's been a while, how's my favorite granddaughter doing" The woman smile hugging the small girl "I'm your only Granddaughter" the blue haired reply grinning making the woman giggle "That is true". Nawin find it surprising to see the usual shy blue haired being so free and happy around her grandmother, the black haired eyes flash red for a second 'Huh Akeno is calling me' he decide to ignore it for now knowing it's nothing important.
"Oh who is this boy you brought with you Wendy" The woman pull the blue haired back, noticing the Makasha "Oh his one of the students in my school and a new friend of mine" She reply making the woman nod "Nice to meet you Mam, My name is Nawin Makasha" the black haired introduce himself "Well aren't you a gentleman hahaha, well it's nice meeting you Makasha-san my name is Midori Marvell" The two shake hand.
"I must admit you look younger than I expected" Nawin said making her laugh a bit "I know, I have Wendy mother very early, and I guess I have been ageing well for all these years" The black haired nod "Why don't you two take a seat" Midori said, Nawin and Wendy take a seat down on the wooden chair, in front of Midori house "So Wendy how have school been for you" she ask turning to her granddaughter "It's going fine, I made a few friend, including Nawin-san and also a girl game Asia Makasha Argendo" Midori raise her eyebrow at the name and turn to Nawin "She's my adopted sister" he reply "Oh I see" as the girl went back to talking with each other, Nawin glance at one of the house roof seeing a green snake looking down at him 'Hana always having my back huh'.
"With all this talking is making me thirsty, let me go make us some tea" Midori smile standing up and head inside her house, "Well if it isn't the traitor" A rough, voice spat making the two turn to see a boy around Wendy age, with dirty messy brown hair and brown eyes, walk toward them with a disgust look, Nawin notice Wendy body tense as the boy walk in front of her. "Garu not now" The boy grab her by the shirt and pull the blue haired close to him "What are you doing in our village outsider!" he yell in her face with disgust tone.
Nawin glance at the boy his eyes glow red, "Ah" the boy let go of the blue haired when a cut wound appear on his right cheek, blood drip down from it "I suggest you leave kid" the boy glare at the black haired, he ignore the Makasha then send a fist toward Wendy face, Nawin eyes flash red in anger as he bring his fist in lightening speed blocking the boy palm from the blue haired face.
"I'll say it again" Nawin squeeze the boys palm making him yelp in pain, he pull the boy to the air and throw him out of the house and to the ground "Leave" the boy stand up and rub his fist, he glare at the black haired then runs away. Nawin sigh and help Wendy up, he kneel down and see fix her messy shirt straight "There all better" he send a warm smile at the blue haired who blush since no one have ever protect her like that, "Thank you for that".
"Well it's nice to know someone is protecting my girl" Midori walk out of the door with a tray of tea, "You two look adorable like brother and sister" she said, Nawin stand back up "I did what's right, what was the boy problem anyway" He ask, Midori sigh as she put the tray down at the table "Garu and Wendy use to be close friends but after she decide to move out of the village and live in the city he felt betrayed and start making the other kids around the village start hating Wendy by spreading false rumors about her betraying the village, luckily all the adult are much smarter and encourage Wendy with her plan but sadly the children believe in him" Midori explain taking a seat.
"I see, I guess he is a retard then" Nawin said taking a sip of tea Midori laugh while Wendy giggle a bit.

"Thanks for coming with me Nawin-san" Wendy thank the black haired as the two make their way to the Ichiru Bakery "No problem, your grandma was a delight to talk with anyway". "So how is Misako condition going Wendy" Nawin ask seeing the bakery in the distance "She is getting a bit better day by day but she still can't stand completely, if she put to much strain in her body, she will get a fever" she reply making the black haired nod though inside his head, he is getting more worry for the pink haired 'She's been in bed for almost a month now and is still not able to get back to her feet, now long will this last….'.
After a few more minute the two arrive at the bakery, they see Akira swiping the floor with a broom, he turn to the door hearing the bell "Well if it isn't the punk, been a while" the brown haired said, Nawin nod "Yeah been busy with things, I'm sure you'll understand" the older man nod.
"So how is my second daughter doing" Akira snatch Wendy from the floor and give her a giant hug making the blue haired blush "I-I can't B-breath", Nawin walk pass the two antics and head upstairs, when he reach the upper floor Nawin see Moka walking out of Misako room holding a bowl of half empty soup "Oh Nawin-kun it's been a while" The woman smile "Yeah, I came to visit Misako, is she awake?" "Yes she's awake though she having a fever again but you should still go inside, I'm sure she'll be delighted seeing you again Nawin-kun" Moka said walking pass him, and give his shoulder a soft squeeze before heading down stairs.
Nawin sigh and grab the door handle, after a few second he open it, walking in and is greeted with Misako laying on her bed with a wet tower on her forehead. She open her eyes seeing Nawin getting a chair and sit next to her bed, "Nawin-kun" she whisper turning her head to the side giving him a smile which he return.
"I thought you forgot about me" She said making the black haired chest squeeze in pain, Nawin place his hand over hers "Hey don't say that, I've just been busy lately, but I should apologize for not coming to visit you for a while now" he reply softly giving her hand a soft squeeze. "It's okay I forgive you" Misako smile, "How are you feeling?" "I have my days, one day can be good and the next day bad but with you here I guess it's a good day" she said making the black haired smile warmly
"Why don't I put on an anime for you, so we can watch together" Nawin said softly standing up and look at all the collection the pink haired has 'Woaw I never knew she was that much of a Otaku' he silently chuckle a bit.
"So which one do you want to watch Misako" The pink haired look up and smile "Can you call some of them out, I'm sure I will be able to pick one of them" "Sure, there's Black Butler, Vampire Knight, One Piece, Bleach….. Higurashi" Nawin raise his eyebrow wondering how such a girl like Misako would watch a violent and a little disturbing Anime.
"Hey it's a great Psychological anime" Misako said defending herself, "I have to agree with you one that" Nawin reply and continue looking for more "…. Diabolik Lovers" the Makasha said with surprise in his tone, Misako blush and hide her head under the blanket hoping the black haired didn't see her cherry color face, Nawin chuckle, putting the box back "Why don't we watch Angel beat then since I won't need to embarrass you anymore" He said, the pink haired nod under her blanket.
Mini Time Skip
"Do you think it will be like that Nawin-kun" Misako said sitting on the bed with the black haired next to her "What you mean?" "Heaven, where we all pass away, where do you think we will go?, is it like Angel beat, a true Heaven a place we can leave peacefully forever, or a eternal slumber where we never wake up" She said looking at the TV.
Nawin look at the TV and wonder to 'Heaven….. what is it like, huh even if I know I'm positive I'll never go there considering I'm a devil and my heart isn't pure like Asia and Misako's' Nawin pet the pink haired "Who knows Misako, that's something no one have an answer to, I say you just think of heaven as anything you want it to be" he reply making her nod.
"It would be quite cool if heaven is like Angel beat" Misako giggle, Nawin chuckle "I may have to agree with you on that Misako" the two continue to watch the anime, enjoying each other company

Sirzech notice the look everyone is having "What so funny?" "Look up Sirzech-sama" Yuuto said, the red haired move his head up seeing the baby dragon "Why aren't you just the adorable thing" he grabs the dragon and is immediately shocked making him fall off his chair.

They all yell making the silver haired sweat drop, "You've already done enough work with everything back home now is time for you to relax Grayfia" Venelana said making the silver haired nod though not use to this.
"Plus when we arrive here you just kick all of us out and start cleaning the whole house just because there was a spec of dust on the table" Yao said making the silver haired blink "Is there a problem with that" "Not at all its kind of you to do that but as Venelana said, you just relax we will handle the cooking".

Akeno who is sitting next to the fallen angel was about to punch him in the face but stop when Azazel is lift up from behind and thrown to a couch in the living room, Everyone look seeing Nawin taking a seat "Nice to know everything is prepared" he said, the others blink wondering if the black haired is really here, "Teme your on time" Issei grins waving at the black haired who look back at him blankly.
"Good of you to join us Nawin-san" Lord Gremory smile "Indeed is everything okay Sochi" Yao ask as Azazel take a chair and seat next to her "Yeah don't worry I just need to clear my mind a bit" "The Mark isn't causing any trouble" Sirzehc ask taking a glance at the black haired neck "My Sacred gear stop it with its power so you won't have to worry about that".
Sirzech nod "But Nawin-kun if it ever get any worse I want you to come to me understand" He said with complete seriousness in his tone, the black haired look at the Lucifer for a few second then nod "Fine if it gets any more unstable I will visit you" the red haired smile in relief "Good don't want anything to happen to my dear Otouto" He grins going back to his childish mood.
"Where's Hana?" Xenovia ask noticing the green haired isn't with him "I send her back to the familiar forest" Nawin reply making the blue haired nod. "Where did you go Nawin-kun, I try to call you" Akeno ask with worry "I just head to Kuoh Mountain, and one more thing Akeno I told you before to not use the bracelet unless it's for emergency only understand" The black haired said making the raven haired nod "Sorry" she apologize "It's fine just remember that" Nawin pets her head, "Picture" Yao whisper to the brown haired next to her Venelana take out her camera and take a quick shot "Got one".
