Chapter 76: Afterschool Activities part 1
A/N: To the one who left the review saying "This is bad," I wasn't sure if you meant the writing was bad, or the situation was bad, but either way, the story shall keep going!
Before long, the devils and Chief of the Angels were inside the shrine itself, allowing the three devils to get a better look at Michael.
He had pale blonde hair, green eyes that held a certain sadness to them that the others couldn't quite explain, and dressed in red and white robes with gold armor on his shoulders and around his collar, and finally, a gold halo floating above his head. He smiled kindly at them, but the devils were more than a bit nervous. It didn't help that both Adrian and Isseis' skin began to crawl, and they knew it wasn't Michael causing it. Suddenly, another bright light appeared, quickly dissapating to reveal a sword; it had a silver blade, a reddish purple grip, and a golden dragon claw hilt.
"Behold young goddess, virus and pervert..."
"C'mon man," Issei briefly whined at the angel,
"This is Ascalon," continued Michael, "This Holy Sword has also earned another name...Dragonslayer." Adrian tightened his fist while Issei gulped.
"Hell of a nickname," said Issei.
"Is there a reason why you have such a blade around my friend and colleage?" Asked Katrina, ready to summon Soul Reaver at a moments notice.
"Fear not," said Michael, "for this weapon was sent from on high."
"Meaning...what, exactly?" Asked Adrian.
"Meaning se were hoping either you or Issei would assimulate the sword to your Sacred Gear." Michael turned to Issei, speaking only to him, "I've heard your reputation as the weakest host in history and hoped the might of Ascalon would give you the necessary strength in times of tribulation."
"'Historys weakest?'" Issei repeated, "Well it's not for a lack of trying, your angel-ness."
"Yeah, because a move like 'Dress Break' really screams that you're trying," Katrina said sarcastically.
"Here me children," said Michael, regaining the lost attention, "for the time has come for all of us to work together...or die trying." Adrian thought now would be the time to jot down some mental notes, "The Great War ended large scale fighting, but as you know we still have our small skirmishes."
"That shit was Kokabiel was merely a skirmish?" Katrina thought out loud.
"If this is allowed to continue...all will be brought to ruin," Michael said. "It is entirely possible a different power may attack us in all the confusion."
"A 'different power' like Zeus?" Asked Katrina, to which she recieved a solemn nod from the angel.
"This summit is meant to start an alliance, to put an end to years of senseless fighting." Michael looked directly at the three, "I beseech you children, please...help align the goals of the three great powers." Adrian and Issei paused, unsure of what to do next.
"Now Adrian, Issei, this is the part where one of you accept his gift," said Akeno.
"Oh yeah! Absolutely," said Adrian, standing up and summoning his gear arm. He used his index and middle fingers to guide the floating sword towards Issei, "If anyone is going to need this sword, it shall be you, Red Dragon Emperor."
"If you think it will help," said Issei, rising from his seat on the floor. The sword turned itself sideways, ready for someone to take hold of its grip. "So will this be like when Adrian absorbed Soul Reaver?"
"From my understanding, it should be exactly like that," said Adrian. Issei gulped, and took hold of the Holy Sword, causing a bright light to shine, blinding all inhabitants of the room, and Issei screamed as the sword merged with his gear arm. The light eventually died down, and everyone saw the blade of Ascalon protruding from the top of Isseis' gear, signifying the success of the assimulation.
"Nicely done," commented Adrian.
"I have done what I have set out to do," said Michael, "and now I will take my leave."
"No hold on!" Issei said, catching Michaels attention, "Before you go there was something I've really wanted to ask you."
"My apologies, but I haven't the time child. I'll gladly hear you out the next our paths cross."
"Promise me you won't forget, okay?"
"Yes, you have my word. Farewell." With that being said, Michael spread his golden wings, dissappearing into a bright gold light.
Sometime later...
Adrian and Issei soon left the shrine to practice with the new sword outside, while Katrina and Akeno remained inside the shrine drinking tea.
"So you and this...Michael character were here inside the temple, altering the sword so either Adrian or Issei could weild it?" Asked Katrina.
"Yes. We conducted a ceremony that tailored Ascalons' specifications to where it can be weilded by either of the boys," said Akeno, sliding a freshly poured cup of tea to Katrina, yet the young war goddess didn't touch the cup.
"Akeno...there was something I've been needing to ask you..."
"Ask away," the devil queen piece said with a smile.
"That day where we fought Kokabiel...he said something about your father..." Akenos' smile vanished, "...Is he truly a fallen angel?" Akenos' eyes were shadowed by her hair, and she spoke,
"Yes...I am the halfbreed daughter of the fallen angel leader Baraqiel and a human." Akeno then proceeded to tell her origin story, "My mother was a young shrine maiden, one day she found a wounded fallen angel and nursed him back to health. She did her job well, they fell in love, and soon enough I came along." Katrina was silent, letting the information sink in, and sighed,
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to prod, it's just been bugging me, but I didn't want to ask since we both lost Cal-." Katrina quickly stopped herself, not wanting to make the situation worse. Akeno then stood up, turned her back to Katrina, and lowered her kimono enough to reveal her bare back, and out of her back shot a pair of wings, one the same devil wing like the others in the ORC, but the other, to Katrinas' surprise, one was a black feathered wing, exactly like a fallen angel.
"Signs of my heritage that I tried to hide," said a forlorn Akeno. "I grew up hating my angel side. I jumped at the chance to be made a devil when Rias made me the offer...to spite father." Katrina couldn't help but stare at Akenos' mismatched wings, shocked but attracted at the same time. "Maybe it was my halfbreed blood," Akeno continued, "but the results were a sad and garish mix between both types of wings." Akeno gave a sad chuckle, "And what better way to show my lineage, then some mismatched plummage?" Katrina was at a loss for words.
"I...I don't know what to say." Akeno turned around, holding her kimono up enough to hide her breasts,
"The truth is I've wanted to tell you and Calvin for such a long time...but you, him, Adrian and Issei all hate fallen angels." Images of Raynare and Kokabiel flashed in Katrinas' mind as Akeno continued, "They were the cause of so much pain for you and the others. They nearly killed Asia...they put Wesker in a coma...not to mention they tried to destroy this entire town and everyone in it." Akeno looked down at the floor, "Not hard to guess what you think about them." Katrina paused, and chose her words carefully,
"My experience with certain fallen angels in the past hasn't been the greatest...but I believe it had more to do with who they were, rather than what they were, just like how I fell in love with who you are." Akenos' eyes widened at her answer, "And I know Calvin fell in love with who you are too. You're strong, smart, beautiful, and it didn't, or in my case still doesn't, matter if you're half fallen or not. Because you're still our Akeno." Akeno closed her eyes with a smile, and allowed her wings to reenter her back.
"When you say sweet things like that...whats a girl to do?" Katrina then noticed a single tear rolling down her cheek and off her chin. Katrina wiped away the tear streak with her hand, pushing a lock of hair back behind Akenos' ear in the process,
"Not shedding any tears," said Katrina, "because I am right here for you." Katrina then closed her eyes, and pressed her lips to Akenos', lightly kissing her as the Priestess of Thunder feverishly began to return the kiss. Soon both of them were on the floor, Akenos' kimono sliding down enough to expose her chest, all while she began to ever so slowly unbutton Katrinas' shirt.
"Care to tell me how much of a bad girl I've been?" Akeno seductively asked Katrina. The war goddess gave her a light chuckle,
"You have been a bad girl," said Katrina, seeing Akenos' face light up emmensly, quickly taken by surprise as Katrina rolled them over, straddling her, and with one firm tug, tore Akenos' kimono open, leaving her as bare as the day she was born, "But I bet you I've been much worse..." Katrina said, matching Akeno in terms of seduction. Katrina then yanked her own shirt open, popping the buttons off without care, and sliding her bra down to expose her own chest to Akeno. Katrina then stood up, sliding off her skirt and panties, then positioned one leg over Akenos, allowing her partner to gain a leg over herself as well, and as their lower parts gently pressed together, they began to grind. It couldn't have been more than five minutes, but for the two girls it felt like hours, and when their climax hit, it was like the fourth of July, both of them shrieking like a pair of fireballs soaring into the sky while a torrent of fluids exploded from their lower regions. Katrina slid off of Akeno, both of them gasping for air,
"Katrina...let's make sure...this moment...never ends!" Gasped Akeno.
"I promise...for as long as we are together...it never will," said Katrina, planting butterfly kisses on Akenos lips.
"Well I hate to break it to both of ya, but it's going to have to end here." Both girls bolted upright, the war goddess covering her chest as she saw the door was open, revealing Adrian holding an unconscious Issei by the collar...his member hanging out of his pants. Katrina quickly assessed the situation while Akeno admired Isseis' appendage with a blush.
"He left training with you to spy on us, you knocked him out, and that's when you opened the door," Katrina guessed with a raised eyebrow.
"Yep, that pretty much sums it all up," confirmed Adrian, dropping Issei and letting him fall lifelessly down onto his face.
"As soon as he's awake, I'm kicking his ass!" Said Katrina. Adrian scoffed,
"Wonder where Damon is? He'll get a kick out of this..."
