Anyways, to the story.
BETA: LadyBoy
CHAPTER 4: REALIZATIONS
"Rias"
His words could be heard clearly in the whole room. Yet, the only reply he got was silence. Silence...even though the person he called was still in the room.
"Rias...Rias?" called the Saiyan, trying to get her attention.
Sure, silence was something that quite accompanied him most of his life while living in mountains but this was different. He knew that she was mad about something. There she was, standing in front of the window, looking outside as the last rays of sun fell majestically on her beautiful hair.
He would be lying to himself if he said that he didn't find her attractive at all. But...such concerns could be addressed another time perhaps.
The Saiyan turned his head towards the other person in the room, Issei. As he made eye contact with Goku the only reply he gave was a shrug of shoulders, clearly understanding what was he was asking for. He couldn't dare to mutter anything in Saiyan's defense even if he wanted to, especially not when Rias was this mad.
"Ri-"
"Issei tell Goku that I have no desire of talking to him." said Rias, interrupting the saiyan.
"But Ria-"
"Did you even listen to what I just said?!" shouted Rias in anger, surprising Goku.
"Haha... is that so? You should have told me that before, I was getting hungry anyway" chuckled Goku sadly as he walked out of the room.
"Don't you think that was too harsh?" asked Issei.
Sure, he didn't like Goku much but even he couldn't deny that he prefered his childish and goofy personality.
"I know but...he has to learn." replied Rias.
She knew that what she did was wrong and even rude. But it was necessary for Goku to understand. To understand, Devil's rule and this new world.
Her eyes softened a little.
Perhaps she was... a bit too rude.
THE PREVIOUS DAY...
"Rias...(haaah)...senpai...I'm...(haaah)... .back" said an exhausted Issei who just came back from finishing his task.
'so-called-tasks', which included delivery and fulfilling humans' stupid desires, were not exactly what he thought about when the word 'devil's task' came to his mind.
Maybe that was something he had to go through first, being on a low devil level. But no matter what, he would surpass Goku. It was funny that this idiot had the same name as his favorite hero, and won Rias' heart.
"Oh good, you made it back just in time." said Rais, acknowledging his presence, "I was just talking with Goku about your new task."
"Yo!" Goku waved with famous Son grin on his face.
"New delivery tasks?" guessed Issei lazily as he laid on the floor.
These tasks were really hard, especially when he was too weak to fly or even use a teleportation circle. And something was even weird in finding human contractors.
"No. This time I just want you to spend some friendly time with Goku. You are both new here and you rarely speak to him" told Rias.
"Is this really necessary? I don"t want to be stuck with this idiot" whined Issei, clearly not wanting to spend any time with the saiyan.
"Hey, that wasn't very nice!" pouted Goku.
"Now, now, Issei, being on a mutual understanding with his/her teammates is important for a devil. Especially during rating games." informed Rias and continued future before either of the boys could raise their hand, " Rating games are popular, friendly battles, among the devil groups in order to raise their rank and fame. That's all you need to know for now."
Somewhere in town..
"So Goku, tell me, what do you like to do during your free time?" asked Issei sitting on a bench alongside Goku.
"Fighting and eating" replied Goku with a smile.
"Okaaaaay... anything else?"
"Fighting strong opponents" replied Goku happily.
"...Alright?...Between us men, what kind of girl would you prefer to fuck if given the chance?" said Issei, hoping to get a different answer from Goku.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Goku innocently.
"I mean what kind you would like to bang?" asked Issei again only to get a confused look from Goku.
Seriously, he couldn't understand what girls found attractive about this knuckle head, especially Rias-senpai and Akeno-senpai.
"I mean with big breast or small? Big ass or small?" asked Issei making lewd faces and gestures which Goku only compare to Master Roshi.
"I don't know. The biggest breast I have touched so far are Rias'." replied Goku honestly.
"WHAT?!" shouted Issei in utter shock as if struck by lighting. This couldn't be real.
"They were really big and soft. I don't know how she is able to fight with them" wondered Goku but sweat dropped as he saw Issei.
"I...hate...you" said Issei, depressed as he started sulking on the ground. It was as if all the colors from his life were drained out.
Those boobs were his dreams! That guy touched them before him! His whole life was meaningless now!
"Hawaau!"
Both boys heard a sudden voice behind them, there was also the sound of something dropping on the ground.
When Issei turned around, there was a Sister on the floor.
She spreaded her arms wide open and had her face on the ground. That certainly was a clumsy way of falling down. Even dumber than Goku.
"…A-Are you okay?"
Issei approach the Sister and gave her his hand so she could stand up.
"Auu. Why do I keep on tripping over… Oh, I'm sorry. Thank you very much~."
Judging by her voice, she was young. She seemed to be the same age as Issei.
Issei took her hand to lift her up.
With a strong breeze, the sister's veil flew away.
Her blonde hair, which had been hidden underneath, fell down onto her shoulders. Her straight blonde hair was sparkling with the sunshine's light.
Issei's eyes moved towards her face. His heart skipped a beat.
A blonde hair beauty was standing in front of him. Her green eyes looked so beautiful that it felt like he would be sucked into it.
For a while, he was staring at her.
"U-Umm…is something wrong…?" asked the Sister looking directly into his eyes with a worried expression.
"Ah. S-Sorry. Umm…" Issei couldn't speak clearly
There was no way that he could tell her how fascinated he was about her.
Rather, he thought that this girl might be it. Yeah, he was thinking about that. Yes, that.
She looks exactly like his ideal girl! Of course he had only one girlfriend in his entire life, only to be killed by her, so of course Issei was attracted to her!
It felt like he need to continue talking to her!
The travelling bag she was carrying on her shoulder now came up to his eyes. Now that he thought about it, it's was a rare occasion to see a nun in town. It was actually his first time seeing one.
Goku titled his head in confusion. He couldn't understand why Issei stared at the girl for so long. Looking at her on the floor, he saw her veil and picked it up before handing it to her.
"Oh, thank you so much, Sir." said the Sister as Goku smiled in return.
"T-Traveling?" asked Issei with a little blush on his face.
"No, that's not it. I was appointed to the Church in this must be a local. It's a pleasure to meet you." she said, bowing her head.
Hmmm. Being sent to the Church of this town... Staff reassignment? Looks like the Church was also having a tough time.
"I have been in trouble since I got here. Ummm…I can't speak Japanese that well…I was lost and other people couldn't understand what I was saying…"
She held her hand together in front of her chest and looked really sad.
Due to his new devil blood, Issei was able to understand several languages including English. As for Goku, surprisingly enough, he could understand it too.
Thanks to his childhood training with Master Roshi, he was indeed able to understand English too. (A/N: Can you guys guess the chapter?)
"I think I might know where the Church is." said Issei.
"Y-You do! T-Thank you~! This is all thanks to God!" she smiled at him with tears falling from her eyes. Issei couldn't help but admire her beauty.
But when he looked at the Rosario, glowing on her chest, it gave him an extremely bad feeling.
Well , of course it had to, since he was a Devil. She was the type of human that he shouldn't talk to or get involved with. But he couldn't leave a girl in alone and in trouble. That is how, Issei took this Sister to the Church with Goku following behind as he was not familiar to the town either.
On their way to the Church, they went past a park.
"Uwaaaaaah!"
What they heard was the cry of a young boy.
"Are you alright Yosh-kun?" the boy was with his mum. It was nothing serious, the boy seemed to have just tripped over.
But suddently, the Sister who was walking behind them a minute ago, was walking towards the park.
"Hey."
The Sister went inside the park and towards the boy who was sitting down, crying. Confused, ,both Issei and Goku followed the Sister.
"Are you okay? Boys with a minor injury like this shouldn't cry." smiled the sister as she pat the boy's head gently.
The boy probably didn't understand what she was saying. But the Sister had a very kind expression. The Sister put her palm where the boy had injured himself.
The next moment, a green lighted orb appeared from the Sister's palm and was flashing onto the boy's knee.
What was that? Demonic-powers? Rais asked as it could only be used by Devils and someone related to Devils. This couldn't be.
When Issei looked carefully, the boy's injury started to disappear.
Something appeared in his mind. Probably a scared gear.
When he looked again, the boy's injury was gone without even a mark left.
That was amazing. Goku was also impressed by her ability, even though they had senzu beans in his world, but healing wounds with energy was something quite different.
This might also be the power of a Sacred Gear…it must be many different type.
The boy's mother was also in shock.
"Here, your wounds are healed. The pain should be gone now."
The Sister pat the boy's head and looked at Goku and Issei
"I'm sorry. But I had to."
She laughed while sticking her tongue out.
The boy's mother, who was shocked before, shook her head and then grabbed her son's hand so they could leave quickly.
"Thank you, Onee-chan!" said boy looking at her.
"He said, thank you Onee-chan." she smiled happily after Issei translated for her.
"…That power…"
"Yes, it's the power to heal. It's a wonderful power that God gave me." she said looking a bit sad, even though she was smiling.
To Goku, it seemed like she had some dark past or something. He could sense it but decided not to get too involved into it considering the situation.
Issei wanted to tell her about his Gear too but decided to keep it a secret as it might have make the situation worse, especially when he had to pose for Kamehameha to activate it.
The conversation ended there, and the group continued walking towards the Church.
They reached an old Church after walking for a few minutes.
CHILLS CHILLS CHILLS
Issei had chills, and sweats were coming out of his body. It had been like this before. But Goku seemed fine since he was not one of them.
He knew it. He was a Devil, so the Church, which belongs to God and the Angels, would be enemy's territory for him.
Even Rias had said that he should never get too close from a Church or a shrine.
"Yes, this is the place! I'm so glad."
The Sister had a sigh of relief after comfirming their location with the help of the map she had.
It was a waste to say goodbye to a beauty like her, but Issei knew that it wouldn't work. He was a Devil and she was a nun after all.
Love between people from different camps may sound romantic, but this would be a different.
It would be because he was getting really scared of the Church. His whole body wouldn't stop shaking. signs of fear must be a special trait to the Devils. It felt like he was a frog being watched by a snake.
No, he couldn't stay here, he was almost in enemy's territory. One more step and he would be in great danger.
"Then I'll be on my way." Issei bid his farewell and tried to leave, but the Sister's words stopped him.
"Please, wait! I would like to make you some tea to express my gratitude since you brought me here—"
"Oh, I'm in a rush so I have to get going." said Issei, trying his best to stay away from the chruch.
"…But that's…"
The girl looked troubled.
She probably wanted to make them some tea to thank them, but drinking tea there would be dangerous. It was a shame, but he had to refuse. Even Goku understood that.
"My name is Hyoudou Issei. Everyone around me calls me Ise. So you can call me Ise as well." said Issei smiling
"I'm Son Goku. You can call me Goku"
When they gave her their name, the girl responded with a smile.
"My name is Asia Argento! Please call me Asia!"
"Then, Sister Asia, let's meet again sometime." said Issei as he began to leave.
"Yes! Ise-san, I will definitely come and see you!" said Asia bowing her head down.
Issei left the place after waving a hand towards her. He understood that she was a good girl and that this meeting might be their fateful destiny.
It was almost like a hero leaving his girl for the sake of her safety. It was the best for the both of them.
"Bye, Issei. See you later." waved Goku.
"Bye, Goku" replied Issei happily as he continued to walk away
Asia going to church with Goku, huh? Such a nice thing.
...with Goku?
...Goku?...chruch?. .
...
WAIT A SECOND!
"STOP THERE, YOU IDIOT! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!" shouted Issei while running back to Goku to grab his arm.
"I'm going to the chruch" replied Goku
"YOU CAN'T GO THERE!"
"But Asia promised me some food." protested Goku.
"NO YOU CAN'T!" shouted Issei as he tried to pull Goku away but was repelled because of the church's proximity.
"I'll meet you at the club later." Smiled Goku as he entered the church alongside Asia.
"Stop. That was my moment. Why do you always get my girls?" said Issei as comical tears rolled down his eyes." You are a monster!"
A few hours later...
"Don't ever get close to the Church again!"
Both Issei and Goku were being scolded by Rias in the club's room. Her expression looked more serious than usual.
"To us Devils, the Church is enemy's territory. Just stepping into it can cause a rift between the Devils and God. Since it was an act of kindness by taking the nun to the Church, they didn't harm you, but the Angels are always on the lookout. You were in a situation where it wouldn't be strange for them to hit you with a spear of light." explained Rias while looking at Issei.
Now that Issei thought about it, the chills he felt before weren't normal. He only felt fear at that time.
It might be his way of detecting danger and his instinct as a Devil telling him that he was in a dangerous situation.
"Don't get involved with people from the Church. Especially not the Exorcists who are our biggest enemy. They could easily eliminate us since their powers are born by the prayers made to God. Even less if it is an Exorcist with a Sacred Gear. That would be the same as standing on the edge of death, Ise." continued Rias looking at him directly with her blue eyes while pushing away her crimson hair.
Her eye were serious, so Goku knew she wasn't joking. It was the first time he saw her like that.
"Y-Yes." replied Issei.
"You could avoid death as a human by being resurrected as a Devil. But Devils who are exorcised are completely exterminated. They return to being nothing. —Nothing. There is nothing left and you feel nothing. Do you know how serious that is?"
Ria shook her head after seeing Goku and Issei's confused faces.
"I'm sorry. I got too heated. Anyway, be careful from now on."
"Yes" replied Issei bowing down his head.
"That goes for you too, Goku " said Rias.
"Okay, but it was a really beautiful chruch inside. They gave me food and snacks. And there is even hot water tubs there" explained Goku as he started to drool, thinking about food again.
"Wait! What?! You went INSIDE THE CHURCH?!" shouted Rias, causing Goku to flinch.
Goku gulped in fear as Rias seemed even more furious than before. Hell, even Chi Chi wasn't as scary as she was.
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU DID?!" demanded Rias as she slammed her fists on the desk, "YOUR ACTIONS COULD HAVE CAUSED CHAOS IN THIS TOWN!"
"But Rias-"
"Don't you 'but' me!" said Rias in anger, "I don't think I will be able to put with up you if you start doing such stupid stunts. I don't want to act on your own unless you completely understand about Devils' rules. This is your first and last warning .Do you understand that?"
In response, Saiyan only nod as he didn't want to make her more mad.
"I'm sorry to disturb you but its almost the time" said Akeno as she entered in the room.
"Time for what?" asked Issei.
"For hunt"
AT NIGHT...
"Alright, I can't wait to fight some strong enemies" said Goku in excitement while Akeno was giving a smile to Rias, which she could catch even miles away.
She was just teasing her but Akeno was right, for someone with Goku's power this would be a way too easy task...too damn easy. Catching Goku off guard, right now, also seemed like a bad idea.
"So who are we fighting?" asked Goku.
"A stray" replied Kiba.
"What's that?" asked Issei.
"The Devil who was turned into a Servant Devil of a Devil with a peerage but who betrayed or killed its master. Cases like that rarely occur. the Devils' power are enormous here. You can't even compare it to when you were human. There will always be those who choose to use that power for their own self-interests. Devils leave their master's place and cause destruction at different locations. That is a "Stray Devil". explained Rias.
"In other words, a stray dog. Stray dogs create trouble. When found, the master or the other Devils are ordered to eliminate them. That is the law among the Devils." explained Rias. "Other beings such as Angels and Fallen Angels see them as threats and they will eliminate the Stray Devils whenever they are found. There is nothing scarier than a Devil who does not abide to any rule."
"But why are they considered dangerous?" asked Issei
"Because they have lost the ability to reason. They will attack and eat anything that moves, humans and devils alike." answered Aneko smiling.
The way Akeno explained it the whole situation with the strays, while smiling, was enough to scare Issei. He wasn't a powerful devil, heck he was not even equal to a normal devil, let alone a Start Devil.
"Goku, I don't think I- WHY THE HELL ARE YOU DROOLING?!" shouted Issei as he saw Goku drooling, lost in his own thought.
"..Huh? Oh sorry, I was just imagining how strong the Stray Devil might be if he is that dangerous" smiled Goku as the whole group sweat-dropped.
"This is not good." commented Akeno
"Certainly not" replied Rias as they were both sweating.
A few minutes, Goku went to the abandoned building located at the outskirt of town, along with Rias, Akeno, Kiba, and Koneko. It was midnight. It was a world possessed by the darkness.
There was lot of tall grass surrounding him, but he could see the abandoned building in the horizon. "The place seems to be quite haunted " assumed Goku as he heard Issei's leg shaking clearly even if it was not audible to the other members of their group.
Saiyans always had an extraordinary sense of smell and hearing.
It reminded him so much of Gohan when he was little, always scared of dark places. Oh how, he missed his home and family.
Back to the matter in hand, according to the rumors, every night a Stray Devil was luring humans to the building to feed on them.
As such, there was a request from the High-class Devil to hunt them.
[Since it escaped to Rias Gremory's territory, I would like to ask you to eliminate it.]
Apparently, this was also one of the Devil's jobs.
Eating a human… There are evil Devils like that as well…
No, naturally, Devils were like that. During his time as a kid, he did heard about demons and devils like that but never met one before.
"…Smells of blood."
Koneko-chan covered her nose with her uniform after she said that.
'The smell of blood?' thought Isse as he couldn't smell anything. Goku waved impressed by Koneko-chan's good sense of smell.
It all becomes quiet.
Issei and Goku felt the presence of an enemy nearby, and its intent to kill them wasn't normal. Its ki wasn't as evil as Frieza but was more bloodthirsty.
"Ise, Goku, it's a good opportunity to experience what it's like to fight." said Rias
"Wait, are you serious!? I'm pretty sure that I won't be of much use!" panicked Issei.
"Yes. It's still impossible now."
She said it looking straight at him to his despair.
"But you can watch what a Devils' battle is like. Today, just concentrate and look at the way we fight. Oh, and I will also explain the traits that the servants have."
"Explain? The servants have traits?"
Issei shot a confused look, but Rias continued.
"Devils, who are the masters, give traits to those who will become their servants. …Yes, it's probably about time I explain this and also the Devils' history."
Rias starts to explain the current Devils' situation as they entered in the building.
"Long time ago, there was a three sided war between the Devils, the Fallen Angels, and God with its Angels followers. All three sides had a large army and they fought for almost eternity. As a result, all three sides lost most of their troops and the war finished several hundred years ago with no side winning."
Kiba continues after Rias.
"The Devils were no exception. Big Devils with peerage who commanded about 20 or 30 troops and they lost most of their underlings because of the war. They lost so many that they couldn't even form new armies."
Akeno continues on from there.
"I heard that most of the pure Devils passed away in that war. Even after the war, there are still problems between the Devils, the Fallen Angels and God. Even though the Fallen Angels' and God's side also lost most of their troops, we are still in a position where we can't let our guard down, or else we will be in trouble."
Then, Rias speaks again.
"Then, the Devils decided to use a system to form a small group of soldiers. And that is the [Evil Piece]."
"Evil Piece?" asked Issei
It was going to get complicated, but it looked like Issei knew he had to listen to it seriously.
"Devils with Peerage decided to use the traits of the human's game called "Chess" to their Servant Devils. It was also sarcasm, because most of the servants were Devils that were reincarnated from humans. Since then, Chess became a popular game in the Devils' world. We'll leave that aside. There are Devils who are masters, are a [King]. In our case, that is me. From there, they created 5 special traits that consist of [Queen], [Knight], [Rook], [Bishop] and [Pawn]. Since they couldn't make an army, they decided to have a small number of Devils and give them enormous powers. This system was made in the past few hundred years, and tbecame unexpetedly popular amongst Devils with peerage."
"Popular? You mean the Chess rule?" asked Issei
"They started to compete against each other. For example like, "My Knight is stronger!", or "No, my Rook is stronger!" As a result, High-class Devils started to play a game like that of Chess against each other using their Servant Devils. We call it the "Rating Game". Anyway, this game became very popular amongst the Devils. Now, there are even tournaments for it. The strength of their [Pieces] and also how strong they are at the game affects the Devils' social position, and their peerage. There is a thing called [Piece Collect] where they gather humans with talents and make them into their [Pieces]. It's very popular recently. Talented servants become their status."
Goku was even more lost than Issei but what he could understand was that being strong in that game means that you are a splendid Devil. It also becomes your pride.
Sounds somewhat similar to Saiyans.
Sure it was complicated. But at the same time, he was hoping to participate in such game.
"I'm not a matured Devil yet, so I can't participate in the official tournament. Even if I could, there are things that I need to go through, or else I can't play. In short, Ise and my other servants here won't be participating in a game for a while."
"So does that mean that Kiba and the others haven't played in that game yet?" asked Goku.
"Yeah."
Kiba answered his question.
"Buchou, what is my role and traits? And what piece am I?" asked Issei
"Ise, you are—"
Rias stopped there.
Goku knew the reason why. That's because of the presence of the enemy and its intent to kill became much stronger.
There was something approaching them! Even a guy like Issei who just turned into a Devil knew it.
"I can smell something disgusting. But I can also smell something delicious. Is it sweet? Or is it sour?"
A low voice which was coming from below the ground..
"Stray Devil Vaizor. We are here to eliminate you" announced Rias.
"Ketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketa…"
The abnormal laughter echoes around them. Goku couldn't help but being confused at the laughter. That wasn't a human's laugh. It also wasn't a Devil's as far as he knew, even though he knew only 5 of them.
A topless woman appears from the shadow. But the woman's body was floating.
A heavy footsteps echoed in the whole building. The next thing that appeared was the body of a gigantic beast.
It was a grotesque being with an unnatural form having a woman's upper body and the lower body of a monster. It was holding something that looks like a spear in both of its lower body of the monster has four fat legs with sharp claws. There was a tail attached to the beast.
From the size of it, it was definitely more than 5 meters tall. If it had been standing on his legs, it would have been much bigger.
Either way, Goku was confused he knew it was a monster. But was this thing also a Devil? So that's what Stray Devil looks like.
Even though he has seen many beasts in his life, but this one was something else. Devils are really weird.
"Leaving your master's side and rampaging as you please definitely deserve death. In the name of Duke Gremory, I will gladly eliminate you!" said Rais
"You are cunning for a little girrrrrrl! I will rip your body, and colour it in red just like your haaaaaaair!"
The monster barked, but Rias just laughs with her nose.
"Grunts sure do speak in a stylish manner. Yuuto!"
"Yes!" Kiba replied as he dashed forward for an attack but stopped in mid tracks as the monster was nowhere in sight.
"Look, guys! I already defeated it!" said Goku from the left side, weaving his hand standing over the unconscious body of Stray Devil.
The whole group had their jaws hitting the floor. Kiba was speechless, he was the fastest member in his group but he never saw Goku moving even an inch. This kind of speed was just ridiculous.
Issei was in complete shock. The beast which could squash him in a heartbeat was defeated by this guy .This guy standing in front of him was his self proclaimed rival yet the difference between them seems infinite.
Kenko knew that the Stray Devil was not much of a threat but the look on Kiba's face told her that this new guy is something not to overlook.
"Uh...it seems that you won't get to see the hunt and fighting style of devils today." said Rais , regaining her composure. To that, Issei could barely nod.
"Ara ara, I toooooold you so" chuckled Akeno as Rias groaned in reply.
"This beast wasn't really that strong. Was it the dangerous enemy you were talking about?" asked Goku.
"Uhmm...no. Really not. This...t-thing is just his pawn. The real one escaped when you were fighting his pawn." Rias lied.
"Really? Was he that fast?" asked Goku in awe.
"Yes! He is that fast and strong. In fact, he can actually defeat you in a second" Rias lied some more, sweating nervously.
"Wow. Now i really want to fight this enemy. Where can I find him?" asked Goku even more excited than before.
A real enemy so strong and fast that he couldn't even feel his presence or see him at all! Amazing indeed!
"That guy is very hard to find, Goku. If you hadn't interfered, we might have caught him." Rias blamed on Goku.
"Oh, i'm really sorry then, Rias. I will be careful next time." apologized Goku, bowing down .
Issei couldn't help but facepalm at how naive and stupid Goku could be. Even a child could clearly see through that lie. And this is his self proclaimed rival...how absurd.
"Hey Aneko, why is Rias lying to Goku?" asked Issei in a low voice.
"Since Rias belongs to one of highest ranked devil clan, admitting that she was hunting a low level enemy such as a stray devil would be against her pride especially in front of a newbie." whispered Akeno.
"Oooh, I see."
"Anyways, back to matter at hand, it's time to put it out of its misery." said Rias as she created a big sphere of energy in her hand.
But before she hit the beast with the attack, Goku swatted her hand in opposite direction causing the energy ball to hit the roof much to Rias' and the others' disbelief.
"Goku, what are you doing?" asked a bewildered Rias.
"That's what I want to ask. That attack was going to kill it." said Goku clearly unhappy.
"And? You point is?"
"We don't have to kill it. If you kill it now, it won't make anything better."
"Enough with this bullshit!" yelled Rias in frustration, "For fuck's sake, do you even know how many innocent people it killed and how many more it will kill if we don't end it here? How could you let someone who killed innocent people go away just like that? They will do it again when given the chance"
"No, I can't let you do that!" said Goku standing in front of her.
"I can't have this stupid conversation now. Get out of the way."
"No! This is not what I thought when you-"
"When I said 'hunt'? What else you do you expect? Play cards with this thing? Do you even remember what I told you about not acting on your own?!" asked Rias as her anger was building up.
"Yes, but I can't let you do that" told Goku with seriousness.
"Out of my way!'
Rias shoved Goku aside but what she found was beyond her belief. Her anger intensifying by the fact that the beast was not longer there. How could a low life stray dog escape during their hunt?!
What would other devils say?! That the member of so-called Gremory family wasn't able to defeat a stray devil?!
"Where is it?!" shouted Rias.
"We're sorry, Rias but we were as shocked as you by Goku's action. We didn't even see it leave." apologized Akeno for the whole group.
"Don't worry" assured Goku "I'm prom-
SLAP!
The sound echoed through the entire building. Issei, Kiba and others could only watch in surprise as it was the first time their master ever slapped someone.
"Rias, I-"
"Just keep it to yourself, Goku, I don't want to listen to any of your babbling. You seriously disappointed me." told Rias as she prepared to leave.
Goku was shocked at the sudden outburst of Rias. He was doing what was right. What he always thought was right. Unnecessary death was something he couldn't withstand. It was really rude of her to do that, and even hurt his emotions.
But thinking her words through, he realized the truth.
Maybe she is right.
Maybe he is too forgiving and soft.
In the past, it was his own naiveness that put his friends' life at risk and even got Krillin killed.
Akeno gave Saiyan a sympathetic look before leaving him to his own thoughts and realization.
A/N: okay, now that is done, I can go to my other stories too. And since the summer vacation are going on, I hope I can complete more chapters than before. That is if I don't get distracted by games T.T
I hope you enjoy this chapter. I know not much action is going on but I need to build a more realistic and better understanding b/w characters too though I promise next chapters will contain a lot of action.
Anways, favorite, follow and don't forget to leave reviews.
Eu Sunt Dracul1 out for now.
