Hello and welcome to the next chapter!
hellspam; Hehe, Koneko isn't having any of that. He's gonna need something for that eye anyway~
Harem Master123; Thanks very much! Indeed, it was shocking huh, but it happened, and we'll see why later on. I can't say what's gonna happen yet, it would ruin a surprise for later on. Don't mess with Koneko's lap, she'll come after you fast, and hard. And yeah, they're gonna be shocked, scared, and other things of that nature. Cool suggestions, Ophis is in Makoto's harem.
weslyschraepen; It could be, can't say yet, but it very well could be.
Skull Flame; I know, no worries~ Exactly, it could be a few people that it could be within the canon of the series, it will be revealed eventually. It very well could be, but for what reasons is she staying hidden? Mysteries as always, always so fun to do~ They do yeah, they are the perfect couple! Exactly, she really should learn to do that, apparently, she doesn't know how to do that just yet. Apparently so, it seems to be a trigger for her if she's referred to as Ravel, wonder why huh. He is, but he won't be forever. He'll soon die, and we can all rejoice~ It does sound better. Eeh, Princess vs Ophis, probably Ophis if she took Princess as a real threat, but she could deal some damage...maybe? Yeah, deny her lap, and she'll claw your eyes right out. I know, he killed off Makoto's black eye, while wanting to kill Irina all because she asked a valid question, he's clearly not all there. And thanks very much!
Nivek Beldo; It could be yeah, we'll soon learn who's under the hood, and what their motives are. She is yeah, but Makoto can cure her of her worries. Slowly, but surely is, though they have a little ways to go before being back to normal, we'll soon see growth from both of them as we go forward. Eeh, I'd say a mix of that, that's how Aika rolls anyway. It is, and she's quite jealous of their relationship, and so are some others from this chapter too. Freed's here, but they managed to push him back, and now are gonna be able to fight him off. Thanks! I know, a month seemed harsh, but Koneko wasn't having any of it. It was pretty brutal, one of the more brutal scenes I have written in recent memory, but it all serves a purpose, one we'll see this chapter, and more in the future too, and yeah, he didn't deserve any of that at all. She can yeah, for the moment at least. Thanks very much, glad that you liked it!
Vizard Masky; He really did yeah, he's lost an eye, a part of himself! They will do, but they'll come up with something. We'll see some reactions this chapter, and more in the future. I have heard of it, and what happened in it, it's a very, weird series for me to watch, and makes me feel complex about it. He'll have to get them eventually~
DocSlendy; I suppose it does yeah, everything does seem to be going south for these guys huh.
Anime PJ; Yeah, it is a bit odd, but PM's are always welcome, unless it is just to shout hate or something, then they aren't. It really did, poor Makoto goes through a lot in his short life. Kinda, but not all the way, they agreed to address it again at the end of this arc. Elmen is, she's Elmen, that's the only way to describe her. I actually loved writing that scene, it was fun. Exactly, she can be, and that's what frightens Rias this chapter.
ShadowUzumaki55; It was very intense yeah, this chapter winds it down from intense, though there are some huge character moments here. We'll see some of their reactions this chapter, and what's happening there. Well, he's gonna get something done with the missing eye, it happened for a reason, can't say why though yet. We'll see soon enough. They do make a pretty good team, Koneko and Makoto that is. Eventually, right now, no, but in the future, Makoto and the others will rise to become stronger, and stronger.
Tohka123; Thanks very much! Yeah, there were some moments between them huh, they always have a cute relationship. She is, but we're getting closer, and closer to the end of this arc, it is going to be quite, something to say the least. Yeah, call her Ravel, and she becomes quite mad about it. Aah, she does yeah, she's hooked. They do have some cool combinations huh. They do, but we wont be getting into that just yet. It has, and it will be mentioned as we go on. Yeah, there is a reason why he has, we'll find out why sooner or later. Makoto and Irina, do have a very good relationship, he cares enough to help her, and even getting a body part gone, he still wont stop. Hehe, if you do, Koneko's coming for you. And thanks, I'll try my best!
Justin D; Yeah, somewhat anyway, enough to work together. Exactly, it was quite the game changer huh, at least for Makoto. Oh no she really doesn't, and we'll see her reactions, eventually. She wouldn't no, she isn't horrible to do something like that. Well, even in canon when Tiamat takes a human form, she does have long blue hair, it was in one of the later volumes that she changed into a human form and showed blue hair. I see, though I wouldn't know what she would do, in the story, everyone has a purpose, big, small, everyone has a purpose, that's how I do things, so they have something that serves the story, besides just, being there. I probably won't have him appearing there, since there are already quite a few characters there, and the OC wouldn't really get much shine. It probably would be better saved for later on. And that seems cool too!
makoto; No worries, I get it, I've even had a hard time lately, and not been able to update at the same rate as I usually can. Well, he can't just recover an eye, but there is a reason why he lost his eye, and it will become more apparent as we go forward into the future. Well, I can't reveal his parentage yet, but it is going to be, something. And thanks, I'll try my best!
Yoga Pratama; He lost one eye, not both, but yeah, call a doctor! We need assistance here! Thanks, yeah it was a mixture of horror and humour. I've watched, a few episodes of it before, and yeah, Koneko really did, she really went to town on him. Hmmm, it could happen, it might happen. I have done before, I might revive a new one in the future though.
Guest 1; That could be a pretty awesome idea, thanks for the suggestion! Yeah, him and Kunou being fiancee's could be interesting.
Guest 2; Hehe that does sound pretty funny, I like it, thanks for the suggestion~
Cf96; Thanks very much!
UsagiAngelRabbit; Yeah, it surely was huh, seems quite the thing that's going on. There were quite a range of emotions last chapter, and even this chapter as well too. Yeah, he did huh, poor Makoto, he really is going through it quite much huh. Well, all answers shall be answered, eventually~ Can't give everything away now. POD is power of destruction, Millicas wields it, and Yumi, she'll be coming soon!
Guest 3; That does seem quite interesting. That would be pretty cool, I like it~
Guest 4; I've never played the visual novels to be honest, I do want to, I just haven't had time to yet. But that would be pretty cool to say the least~
Anonymus; Hehe, hey again~ Thanks very much, I am glad that you do! I liked writing that part, it just made me laugh as well as I wrote it, so I kept it in there. Well, if it is Makoto, then she might like it, though she's not as bad as a masochist as Akeno is, as we'll see in the future. Ooh God yeah, there's gonna be some angry and sad moments when they find out about it. Serafall isn't going to be pleased, let's just say that. Vali...well, she wont be happy either, but a different kind of unhappy than Serafall, more subtle, but something else too. Ravel is indeed amazing, she is awesome. Yeah, they really do have an interesting relationship with one another don't they? I guess it will do, as shown in this chapter how she shows guilt about it, but Makoto reassures her. Ooh yeah, she's totally in love with him, and he as well with her, circumstances just kept them away. But they are here now. I suppose she would do yeah~
Neonlight01; She is yeah, but they'll come together rather soon, and begin mending their fractured relationship. And you're right, he didn't ask for any of this, but he's there, and gets on with it. Ooh they will do. I know, he's gone through quite a lot during their time together, and how strong they are for it. Exactly, the title tells it all huh sometimes. He did yeah, and we'll see in this chapter how he did keep her in his heart. She does, but Koneko flipped that on its head, and didn't stand for it.
Well, with those lovely reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!
Battle at Kuoh part one
It was depressing for her.
As she walked towards the meeting place, it hadn't even been ten minutes since the fight.
She somehow managed to drive the man away from Makoto, but she couldn't of prepared herself to see such a thing. She never thought that it would happen, and while Makoto was going to live, he lost an eye, and now, she knew for sure, that the woman she was going to go and speak to, wasn't going to be happy about this at all.
Walking through the ruins did little to ease her heart pains.
She just couldn't stop thinking that she had failed. She owed much to the person she worked for, she just let her down.
Making it to the meeting place, she saw a hologram.
[What's gone on? I sensed a battle, did you...are you alright?]
The woman hologram asked the blue haired woman.
The blue haired woman hung her head downwards, not sure how she was supposed to be responding to this.
"I, managed to drive him away from Makoto, he's not dead."
[Then why do you look like a puppy died?]
"If it was only that simple."
She thought to herself, unsure of how to break the news.
She inhaled a few breaths, wanting to prepare herself, seeing the hooded figure looking conflicted.
[You're, worrying me. What's happened? Please, tell me, I'm worried for Makoto now.]
"He's not dead." She revealed slowly, seeing the hood folding their arms. "It's just, before I could get to him, he fought the leader, and then...well, he was protecting one Shidou Irina, and he...his eye was melted away, dissolved, whichever you prefer."
Silence.
That's all the blue haired woman knew.
Several minutes, silence filled the area.
But then the hood spoke up.
[I see…]
The voice was low, and subtle.
But the blue haired woman could sense the uneasiness in her voice, and how she was, speaking sounding like she had given up a little bit, and it wasn't something the blue haired woman expected honestly.
"I'm sorry, I never wanted this to happen, I was trying my best to prevent it all. But, it seems like it was going to happen, regardless of what was going down. I managed to drive him off, and wound him. Fortunately, he wasn't at full power or anything of that nature. But yeah, I managed to drive him off, and for the moment, he's wounded, so he wont show up."
The hood looked over the blue woman's appearance, noticing a cut on her arm that she was trying to conceal from her, but she could see better than most, and saw what it was, and didn't like seeing such a wound on her.
[You got wounded as well.]
"It's nothing."
She lied, not wanting to reveal the truth.
[Nothing my eye, it looks damaging to me. Get that seen too. I'm sorry that I can't be there myself right now, I don't mean for any of this to happen, I thought that I was doing this for the best, but just look what's happened. Makoto...he's really going through many different things.]
"Yes, I know, and I am sorry about that."
The hood shook her head.
[No, you don't have to apologize for anything at all. This is all my fault, I should have protected Makoto myself, I shouldn't of let you do this all on your own, I should have gone as well, so do not worry, I share the blame here, more blame, allow me to take the blame for this, because you've done nothing to be blamed for, I really appreciate everything that you've done for us in the past, thank you.]
The blue haired woman shook her head as gently as she could, showing that she wasn't going to allow her to take all of the blame.
"No, you don't have to thank me, you don't have to worry about that at all. And don't be silly, don't worry about such a thing now."
The hood gently moved her head up and down now.
[Either way, get the cut seen too, and thanks for protecting Makoto. Even if he's lost an eye, he's still alive, he's not dead, and that's all that matters to me. He's alive, and his eye can always be replaced, even if it was painful for the young boy, he's tough. He'll recover.]
"Also, about Kokabiel, it seems like he's making a noise, and a half. I don't know his exact plans right now, but if he becomes too dangerous then..."
[I've heard from Azazel, and I believe that Kokabiel is gonna be taken care of by the Hakuryuukou or something like that. Either way, it seems we can leave it to them for the time being, but if it gets too hectic, we might have to intervene...well, I need to get going. There's something I need to take care of.]
"I as well. Until then."
[Until then.]
The call was cut off, leaving the blue haired woman alone for the moment.
Makoto couldn't believe it when it happened. Even now, he was having trouble accepting it, the very fact that it happened, Makoto couldn't describe the pain that he felt at this moment in time, even when Irina was supporting him, and helping him moving back to his home, so he could get the eye...no, the hole healed.
Makoto, didn't have an eye anymore.
His black eye, was gone.
His golden eye remained, but where his black eye used to be, it had completely vanished from the place it was inside of his skull, and all there was, was a hole, and it didn't look pretty at all, it looked like a mess.
Even as he walked back home, he was glad for that blue haired woman that defended them, Makoto couldn't be more distraught right now. Each stride, seemed to cause pain to run through the area that his eye was.
Each little breath, he felt like it was going through the eye hole as well. All of it, felt unreal. He didn't think that this would ever happen, he never thought that Makoto would lose something like this. He just didn't expect it.
But, even through all that, Irina was safe. She was there, and she wasn't dead, and that's the main good thing that he was going through right now, he knew that if she had died, then he would have felt like he had as well.
Irina though, couldn't hide her sadness from him.
Even through his one eye, he felt it all, the pain of it all, and the sadness that came through his body coming from Irina's sadness.
"Irina-chan, you don't have to be so sad."
He tried his best to connect with her, trying to understand many things going on right now.
"Ma-chan, I'm so sorry that...that this happened. Because of me, Ma-chan lost his important eye, and has been left without an eye...it is all my fault Ma-chan, this is everything because of me. My fault Ma-chan, I am so sorry Ma-chan for everything that I've done, I didn't mean to do this Ma-chan, I didn't expect all of this to happen."
Irina's eyes couldn't help but become teary. She couldn't hold back the fears, and tears that she had, she didn't like that she was like this. She didn't want Makoto to ever be put through this kind of pain, never did she expect that this would happen.
Makoto shook his head at the teary eyed Irina.
"Irina-chan, please don't be so sad, I'm alright, I promise."
"B-But, Ma-chan lost his eye all of a sudden! Y-You couldn't do something like that for me! You didn't have to do that for me! Please, I beg you to not forgive me Ma-chan! It's all my fault! If I didn't think I could fight too, then you wouldn't of..." Her eyes shed tears as she looked at Makoto's non-existent eye.. "...Ma-chan wouldn't of lost his eye."
Irina couldn't stop crying, her eyes leaking more, and more tears by the second.
Makoto couldn't help but comfort her, he didn't want to see her be sad like this.
His hand went to her back, rubbing her back gently, but she couldn't stop crying her eyes out.
"Irina-chan, I don't blame you."
"Why!? Why don't you blame me Ma-chan!? This is all my fault! If I didn't do this, then Ma-chan wouldn't of lost his eye, and got hurt because of me! Ma-chan always suffers because of me! Even when I went, I couldn't tell Ma-chan the true extent of my feelings, and then I felt like I was going to die! Ma-chan never even knew that I was...Ma-chan didn't even know at all what I felt though, Ma-chan is..."
Makoto gently wrapped his arms around her body, and held her closer to his body.
His head rested against her breasts (he was that height after all) something that made Irina cry even more, the very fact that he was comforting her, when he was the one that was in massive amounts of pain and had lost an important part of him.
"No, Ma-chan don't...don't be nice to me Ma-chan, please don't be nice to me..."
"Iri-chan is so silly, doing something like this. Crying about something that doesn't need to be cried about."
"But, Ma-chan lost his eye-"
"And I'd do it again if it meant you were safe." Irina gasped at the shocking words that Makoto spoke. "Please, don't cry now Irina-chan, please don't say such a thing. You seem to be thinking that I am hating you, but that's not the case, I don't blame you Iri-chan."
Irina didn't think that she deserved this kindness. She didn't even think that Makoto would give her this kind of kindness due to what had happened, and what was going on with the young boy himself, it was like Makoto was too kind to her.
"Ma-chan..." Makoto smiled up from her bust, Irina's eyes going down to his lone eye. "Ma-chan's still got his golden eye, the eye that I really admire more than anything else, Ma-chan's best eye ever."
Makoto chuckled though he felt a surge of pain going into his hole in his skull.
"Irina-chan, we need to go. I need to go and get this healed...ooh God, I don't even know how Asia-chan is going to deal with this...I don't want to make her feel worried..."
"But even then Ma-chan, we need to get it healed. Come on, we need to go."
Makoto nodded his head, and they went back home, to Makoto's home.
However, as they walked, Makoto couldn't help but worry about Yumi, and what could be happening with her. It just seemed, terrible to Makoto, almost, that she was still out there. But, as he was now, he was in no condition to go and help out, he would be a liability at this point.
Even as he walked, he was having a tough time, he had to get used to having only one eye at this point.
He wasn't going to get it back.
Never ever could he have it back again.
But, it didn't matter now.
He couldn't worry about that, he didn't have the luxury of worrying about it.
When Makoto returned home…
"N-Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
Asia let out a bone chilling scream while crying her eyes out when she saw Makoto's eye, not that he blamed her. Ise also stood by, and looked absolutely horrified, Rias also did the same as Millicas, and looked scared at what happened. Ravel felt her hand trembling at the sight, and gained teary eyes, Kalawarner doing the same thing. Irina couldn't look at Makoto right now, she felt so guilty that this happened. Mittelt was there, but she was quite, passed out right now. She took one look at Makoto's eye, and fainted, Asia would've done the same, but she was too busy worrying about Makoto's state to pass out, it took all of what she had inside to stop it all.
"Asia-chan, please don't cry."
"N-No, I have to, Makoto-san lost his eye..."
Asia couldn't help the tears flowing from her eyes, seeing what happened to Makoto.
"It's alright, I'm alright Asia-chan. Please, don't cry, it is alright Asia-chan, I'm going to be okay."
Ise could tell that it wasn't alright, that it wasn't okay that he lost it.
But, he was keeping it together, so he didn't have to worry the others, he couldn't worry the others right now.
He was also doing it so he didn't worry Asia, that was especially true for Asia.
"But still, I should have gone with Makoto-san." Millicas argued, her eyes watery. "If I had gone as well, then I could have defended Makoto-san as well. I thought that I wanted to be with Makoto-san always, but I couldn't defend him when he was in a situation like this..."
Makoto petted the young girls head, gently running his fingers through her red fiery hair.
"Millicas-san, don't blame yourself. I don't blame you. I did what I had to do to save my Irina-chan."
Millicas' eyes went towards Irina, and she wanted to say something…
But, seeing that she was like this now, seeing that she already was beating herself up, she couldn't say anything. She might not like Irina that much, but right now, she couldn't say anything else about it, she couldn't even blame her right now, as that's who Makoto was.
He would have done it for her, for Asia, for Koneko, for anyone that he thought that needed saving. It was a lovely, and horrible concept that she thought he had. The very idealism that he had, she loved, and hated at the same time, seeing what has happened to him until now, and that he was missing an eye, she didn't even know how his life was going to be different.
Ravel couldn't take the sight, especially seeing the pain and noticed that no one was, healing him, the condition that he had, no one was healing him at all.
"Asia-sama, you have to heal Makoto-sama's eye, right away!"
"B-But, there's..."
Asia was going to say, that there was nothing to heal, which she was right, and wrong, in a way.
"Asia-sama!" Ravel cried, her eyes shedding tears. "We have to at least stop the bleeding, and make sure that the nerves, and other things that are behind the eye are in the best condition as possible." Ravel rushed out of the room, only to come back a few seconds later with a bottle in her hand. "I'll assist you!"
Ravel assured, wanting to make sure that Makoto doesn't die of bloodloss, or anything of that nature. But, she knew that there was no way to save the eye, there wasn't even a single thing that could be done.
"Those are Phoenix Tears. Ravel, you made them?"
Rias was surprised at seeing them, but couldn't understand when she made them.
"I made them for Makoto-sama, and the others, knowing that he would be in a trouble...I didn't expect that he would lose something so...important like that...but even then, that doesn't matter, and these are the only ones I have right now... Asia-sama, work with me to heal Makoto-sama's eye, okay? We'll have to save as much as we can in the hopes that maybe an artificial eye can be made for Makoto-sama in the future, and also, we have to make sure that Makoto-sama is in no pain."
"Y-Yes, I shall do my best with you, Ravel-san!"
Asia tried her best to heal his eye, along with Ravel doing the same thing.
Rias' eyes went over Makoto's form, she was going to say something about the recklessness of what had happened, but seeing that he had his eye stolen from him, and felt it literally melting in his skull, she had to let it go now, and was going to tell Sona the same thing, she didn't want either of them to add worry to the young boy right now, plus she had to worry about Serafall, she was terrified.
"So, we have this, person that's running around, and can melt things with water...it's the same person that Sona had confronted…but, they didn't go this extreme to melt body parts...what does this person want?"
Makoto didn't have an answer for Rias, he couldn't even guess what it was.
"I don't know. All I know is that they are crazed, and went to kill Irina-chan and kept saying that I was a Prince, and something like that. I don't know what they want...but, I was saved, by that Sensei."
"The blue haired woman? The one that we thought was a Sensei, but could be someone else entirely?"
Millicas spoke up her doubts, Makoto nodding his head.
"Yes, that's right. She came to save me, and Irina-chan and told us to run away. It doesn't seem to make it any different though, I don't know what she wants. But, she can't be so bad that she saved me. She can't be an enemy, otherwise, why would she even save my body and Irina-chan's as well? It doesn't make sense to me."
"Maybe she wants you for something. That's why, Makoto. You cannot go anywhere on your own for the foreseeable future."
"Foreseeable future? Is that supposed to be some joke? I've just lost my eye, and you're cracking eye jokes already!?"
Rias' eyes widened in pure horror at the serious look on Makoto's face.
"Ooh Maou-sama, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to even say it like-"
"Hahaha." Makoto chuckled, seeing the scared face of Rias. "I'm sorry, I couldn't resist."
Rias' eyes narrowed at the boy, but then stopped that when realizing that he couldn't do that anymore, with only one eye now being shown.
Princess came into the room, and spat "Ooh shit your eye!" once seeing the eye itself, everyone's eyes turning towards the young cat, Princess then meowed, walking towards Makoto's body, and hopped onto his lap.
"Did your cat just speak Ma-chan? She just...didn't she? Or am I hearing things right now Ma-chan? I don't know how to say it...maybe I'm hearing it wrong, perhaps, I am not hearing it right, but it seems like there's something's going on here..."
Irina looked suspicious of the cat, she didn't like that it could do something like that.
"Don't even open that can of worms." Kalawarner placed a hand on her shoulder, giving it a squeeze. "That cat defies common sense, it is a scary little pussy." Kalawarner's eyes went towards Makoto again. "Master, did this whore here do something to you? If she did, allow me to ram her through with my light spear, I'll kill the slut, I don't mind, if she thinks getting away with this is alright, then she has another thing coming, doesn't she? I'll kill her for doing this to you Master, she doesn't deserve to live after all of this. I'll kill her myself!"
Irina felt lower than the floor right now, she felt so guilty at what had happened, and what could have happened if she was the one who took the attack. If she had, then he wouldn't be suffering like this right now.
Makoto began shaking his head.
"No, Kalawarner-san, it's nothing like that."
"Are you sure? This Exorcist was with you, she's a culprit in this!"
Rias pointed towards Irina accusingly, Irina tipping her head to the side.
"Who are you again?"
Rias' face dropped, as Irina hid a smile. Ise felt a nervous sweat drip down behind him, but his concern was more Makoto than about Rias and her mental state.
"What did you just say to me? Did you just question my existence?"
"...I don't really understand who you are though..."
Irina didn't know if she should play the game anymore, seeing the aura radiating off her body, the ground denting from her power alone.
"Fuck off. Both you, and your bitch friend Xenovia can get out of my life already for what you've done to me in the past, and in the future, which you no doubt will because you're mean to me. I am a real person damn it! And I am not hearing this anymore! If you want to say or question my existence, then do it to my face, right now! Go on, do it Irina! I'm begging for it, go on! Make a move! It's the big day, I wanna hear this from your lips!"
Irina backed down at the sight of the blazing Rias, she looked so angered that she could even kill someone at that moment in time.
"Whoa, calm down Rias-san, you're getting worked up."
Kalawarner brought up, making Rias sigh.
"I know, but I'm terrified right now...shit, Kalawarner, I'm frightened of Serafall-sama, we're all done for now, this isn't even a mistake either, we're done, she's going to butcher all of us, her precious Queen has been damaged, and I remember a time when I accidentally...no. It is too hard right now, I can't, I need to do something to stop this feeling...I'm scared of Serafall-sama right now...she called me damaged goods and made me marathon her freaking show for hours on end, with one girl two cups playing too last time Makoto was hurt, this time...ooh shit."
Rias admitted, Ise twisting his eyes to her.
"One girl, two cups? What's that?"
Ise had heard of something like that before, not the one Rias mentioned.
Rias, didn't say anything, just keeping her head down sadly.
"Makoto-san..."
Asia's eyes turned teary as she looked at Makoto, using her Sacred Gear to heal the eye...or what was left. Even Ravel was using some Phoenix Tears to aid, but they all knew the grim reality that he had lost his eye.
"Asia-chan, it isn't as bad as it looks."
"You're missing an eye!" Ise argued as his own eyes ragged with fresh tears. "How can that be not as bad as it looks!? Are you mad!?"
"No, I'm half blind."
Makoto attempted a joke, but Rias felt faint, her heart smashed against her chest.
"This isn't funny! Serafall-sama is going to come and kill me for this! Sona's fucked, we're all fucked! Ravel, sorry but you're fucked as well!" Ravel hung her head down as Rias shed real tears of fear. "Ooh shit, I knew I should've paid more attention, given more pressure on all of this, protected you, kept you with me, and now we're all fucked and there's nothing that can be done! Nothing at all! We're all going to die! Please don't hurt me Serafall-sama, I'm sorry for what happened to your Queen!"
Rias felt her heart beating faster, and faster, so fast that it could be said that she was like a wild horse inside of her chest, stampeding around and wasn't giving her any chance to solve this on her own, she couldn't like this at all.
Makoto rolled his lone eye, not believing that she was doing this.
"Don't worry, she's not going to do anything to you."
"I'm dead...I'm screwed, I'm never going to be able to recover from this. Serafall-sama, please accept my apology, and please don't strike me down with the power of the Underworld, I don't think I will be able to take it."
Rias sobbed, putting her hands to her eyes.
Ise stroked her back, wanting to comfort her. But still, he was very concerned for Makoto and could feel that he felt anger for what happened. Harming his little brother, wasn't allowed, and Ise wanted to go and bust some heads. He wanted to go, and hunt down the person who had hurt Makoto, he wanted to go, and kill him.
Asia and Ravel continued doing what they were doing, and eventually, stopped.
Asia still looked down as she looked into Makoto's lone eye. Using his hand, he grasped onto her own hand, and held it tightly, stroking her hand with his thumb, wanting to soothe the young girl.
"Don't worry Asia-chan, I already know. You don't have to sugar coat anything, I've lost my eye, I'll just have to adapt to that."
"Makoto-san...you've lost the eye, there wasn't anything to heal. Even with Ravel-sans Tears, it only could heal what was left, and that wasn't much. But, we've stopped the bleeding at least, and Makoto-san is going to be fine..."
"Yes, she's right Makoto-sama, we've managed to stop the bleeding, and you'll be fine, minus...what you have lost. But, even if you have, you still can...do many things, and Makoto-sama can also..." Ravel shook her head, standing up. "I'm sorry, I can't..."
Ravel couldn't stand it anymore, and left the room.
Makoto looked on at the departing Ravel, and stood up.
"I'm going to, go and see her..."
"Wait, before you go, you need to have that eye wrapped up Makoto-san."
Millicas spoke up, quickly gathering some bandages. She wrapped the bandages around his eye, and around his head, making sure that she was as delicate as she could be, considering the situation, Asia also offered her support.
Once they were done, Millicas kissed Makoto on the lips, and then hugged him tightly.
"Makoto-san, I'm so sorry..."
"It's alright, I'm gonna go and find Ravel-san. I'll be back later on."
Makoto left the room, and chased after Ravel.
She ended up going to her room, so Makoto walked there, and could see the door open.
He looked inside, and saw Ravel shedding some tears, so he walked into the room, moving closer to the young girl, showing his best smile that he could, knowing that he needed to comfort her, wanting her at her best.
On her face, he could see the anguish that she felt. She took it harder than he thought that she would do, but it did make him smile. Knowing that despite the small amount of time they had spent together, they wanted, she wanted to be right with him, and felt sorrow for him.
"Ravel-san? Why are you running away?"
Ravel whipped under her eyes, trying to control the tears she was shedding.
"Makoto-sama. Please don't look at my pathetic side like this."
"I don't think you're pathetic Ravel-san."
Ravel didn't exactly believe him…
No, she didn't want to believe him.
She wished that she desperately could not believe in him.
"I don't even deserve to cry, you're the one who got hurt. It's stupid, and I don't have a reason to cry...it's just, after everything I've seen you do, how you've sacrificed everything for everyone else, and even have people turn on you, this doesn't seem right. I don't like this at all. Makoto-sama, I'm sorry for this, I should have gone with you."
"It was my decision, and I did what I needed to do. Ravel-san, I wouldn't of stopped even if you came, even if it came for you, I would have done the same thing, you don't have to cry Ravel-san, you've done more than enough for me for me to be happy. Now, come on, don't show any tears."
Makoto sat beside her, putting his arm around her.
Ravel fell against him, and continued to cry, despite trying not too.
"I'm sorry Makoto-sama, I'm really sorry that your eye has gone. It was that damn dissoliving water guys fault. We'll get him Makoto-sama, I am going to promise you right here, and now, I'm going to get him myself. I'll use my Phenex flames to burn him down into ashes."
Makoto placed his hand on the back of Ravel's head, stroking her blonde hair gently.
"Don't worry Ravel-san, I'm okay. We'll get that guy together, all of us together."
Ravel continued to cry onto his chest, and she showed no signs of stopping.
Makoto just held the young girl, and waited for her to calm down.
He didn't let her go, he never could, she kept a tight hold of him after all.
She felt sorry for what happened, she felt like she was slowly unsure of what the future was going to bring.
Meanwhile, as that was going on, Koneko sat up in her bed.
She looked around, and she felt, something off.
"Ravel-san...she seems to be getting ahead of me again with Mako-kun...she's always a troublesome opponent..."
Koneko had a serious look on her face.
How she knew, no one would ever know.
But, it didn't matter right now, Koneko had the feeling that Ravel was getting ahead of her and she didn't like it.
After leaving Ravel, Makoto went into the bathroom, and went towards the mirror.
He lifted up the bandages that covered his eye, and looked with his lone eye at the hole that was made. No eye, nothing. Fortunately, Asia, and Ravel managed to heal it to a place that it wouldn't cause problems.
But now that he had time to think about it, he just had to look, and feel, sickened by it all.
He didn't hate that it happened, he couldn't.
The circumstances of why it happened, he accepted them. But he had this feeling inside of him, and he couldn't shake the feeling either, he didn't want to shake it, he wanted to face it full force, and that meant he wasn't going to back down.
But, still…
Ise, who happened to be walking past, heard some noise from the bathroom, and it sounded bad, so he went to investigate.
The door was open, and he saw Makoto looking at his lost eye.
He didn't even know how Makoto was dealing.
If he had lost an eye, then he would be more, angry, and wanting revenge.
But, Makoto seemed, calmer than he would ever be.
Ise wanted to go and murder the person who did this to his little brother, he wanted to wrap his hands around their neck, and strangle the life out of that person. But of course, it was going to be hard to do that without know that person.
"Hey, it doesn't look bad, you know? Makes you kinda like a badass. I'm sure all the ladies will be totally over you now, they'll want to take care of you, and things like that. You're lucky, damn Shota, you're always using your cuteness powers to your advantage."
Ise tried his best to cheer up his younger brother.
Makoto turned towards him, trying his best to be calm.
"Yeah, I suppose so..."
"You did the right thing though, saving Irina like that. Add her to the harem list, huh."
Ise added levity to the situation, but Makoto didn't know if he could have levity right now.
"Onii-chan, now that I've lost this eye, people seem to be treating me differently, like I'm...I don't know, they look at me differently. Especially Irina-chan, she blames herself for it all, and I don't blame her. It's not like my life has drastically changed, I've lost an eye, sure, and it might take some time, but I'm gonna adjust to it."
"Yeah, I know. Everyone's just worried about you."
"They don't have to be. I'm not dead, and I still have one good eye, I can still fight-"
"Fighting? You still wanna do that?"
Ise wasn't so sure about Makoto fighting again. He couldn't stop him he knew that, but his elder brother instincts told him that he didn't want Makoto to go and fight anything, or anyone either, especially in such a condition.
"I'm still a Devil under Serafall Leviathan-sama. Because I've lost an eye, doesn't change that. Would you quit if you lost an eye?" Ise stayed silent, but Makoto knew the truth, he could see it in Ise's eyes. "Exactly, Onii-chan. I can't stop now, just because of this. I'll adjust to this, and come back fighting."
"It's still dangerous, and I don't...I don't want to lose you. Saji can go and fight if he likes, and if he gets hurt, well that'll teach him to not be an arrogant prick, but you...I'm worried about you."
Makoto moved closer, placing his hand on Ise's arm.
"I know Onii-chan, I know you are. I know you're worried about me, but I'm gonna be fighting. Yumi-senpai is still out there, somewhere, right now, and she's fighting, so I have to do that as well, and bring her back. I'm only learning from you, Onii-chan."
"Learning from me?"
Ise held a question mark above his head.
"Yeah, like you did with Buchou. You came for her, again and again, you never stopped. I'm doing the same for Yumi-senpai, again and again even if she rejects me, I wont let her go, you know? I don't want to lose her. So, I'm gonna have to go for her again and again like Onii-chan is doing and always does because he's my brave Onii-chan."
Ise's eyes welled up with tears, but he didn't want to show them to Makoto.
He admired Makoto's bravery, and with such beautiful words, he truly felt blessed.
"So, what's it like to have your eye melted away?"
"Finally, someone asks about it without trying to make it sound like it is completely a negative thing." Ise turned back, showing no tears, but Makoto already saw them before and chose to not comment. "Well, it was...a burning sensation, and well..I don't know how to describe it, it was terribly painful, even more so than when I was stabbed with spears of light. That seemed like cakewalk compared to that eye melting."
"Geez, I can't imagine how painful it was then. I remember when I got hit with spears of light, and it hurt like a bitch. I, didn't like that, but this was even worse huh. I can't imagine."
"Would you like me to do it to you so you'd know what it is like?"
Makoto suggested with a sly grin.
Ise chuckled, grabbing the boys head, and put him in a playful headlock.
"I'll do more than that to you if you try it with me!"
The pair of brothers laughed together, and shared an experience like no other, they truly did have the best kind of relationship with one another.
Later on, as Makoto was getting ready for bed, adjusting the bandages on his eye, trying to get it to a comfortable position. Even after it had been a few hours this had happened, it didn't matter in the end, Makoto was trying his best to just adjust.
Everyone else wasn't in the room right now, Makoto knew that they would be, and honestly, he couldn't wait for them either. Right now, he believed….no, he knew that he would need to have them around him at this moment in time.
He then heard the door very silently, but with a tiny bit of noise, open. His lone eye went towards the place the door was, and what he saw, was Irina herself.
Irina didn't look the best right now.
She looked like she had been crying.
Makoto couldn't stand seeing her like that, and moved closer.
"Iri-chan? What's wrong? Has something happened?"
Irina shook her head, inching closer, and closer. Her movements were abnormal, not quite the sight that Irina usually showed. Makoto, didn't like this, he knew something was wrong. If it is was because of his eye or not, he wasn't sure, but it did seem like the most likely culprit.
"Ma-chan, it's all my fault, that this has happened."
He knew what she was talking about when her eyes hovered over the place his eye was.
"No, it isn't Iri-chan, I don't think it is your fault at all."
Makoto soothed the young woman, but she didn't heed his words, and gently pushed Makoto back. His feet stumbled on the ground, falling back down onto the bed. He gasped at the sudden falling onto the bed, as Irina placed her hand on his chest.
"Ma-chan, please...please stop being so nice to me...this is all my fault.."
"No, Iri-chan, this isn't your fault, I don't blame you. I never did. I saved you, I've got nothing to worry about with you. I'm glad, I could save you, that I could protect you, so please don't be so worried about it all now."
Irina didn't listen, running her finger up and down Makoto's chest. She looked at the shirt that he had on, and wordlessly, she began lifting the shirt up off his body, exposing his somewhat toned stomach to her.
"My Ma-chan, you've been working out."
"Y-Yeah, but what are you doing?"
Makoto hoped that he didn't know what was going on, and wished that it wasn't what he was thinking about.
But, it seemed from the looks that Irina and the eyes that she had, that maybe she had something that she wanted.
She slipped his shirt off. He didn't fight, he was more stunned than anything, he couldn't fight back right now, he was trying to work out what she was doing and why she was doing it. Irina though looked at Makoto's form, and couldn't help herself feeling, deeply within herself.
"Ma-chan's body isn't as I expected. I really like Ma-chan's body. And because Ma-chan has been seen by me, Ma-chan can also see mine too."
Irina proceeded to put her hands behind her, taking off her shirt that she borrowed.
"Wait-"
She didn't listen, taking off the shirt, throwing it down to the side. She showed her bra covered breast, her face burning red with innocence, something Makoto was a sucker for, and also, longing in her eyes.
"Though I'm inexperienced Ma-chan, I want to feel you on me Ma-chan."
"Iri-chan, I know that you're upset, but you don't have to do this. This isn't you."
He tried his best to reason with her, knowing that it would be damaging if it happened to her now. He really liked her, but doing this, was against his moral code, he couldn't do this to her, and he wouldn't do this to her either.
"But, it is Ma-chan. This is me, I am wanting to feel Ma-chan on me, and I want to feel Ma-chan loving me as well, that's how I honestly feel. Ma-chan, because Ma-chan blessed me with his love, and affection, I get to feel Ma-chan's happiness all of the time, and I couldn't do that either, so Ma-chan, here, my boobs."
"W-Wait, a second Iri-chan! Please stop this, this isn't you!"
Makoto cried out, but Irina ignored him once more, undoing her bra strap.
As soon as she did, the bra covering her breasts, was released, though it was dimly lit, his Devil eye helped him see the shape of her large breasts. They were definitely bigger than Asia's, and maybe around Yumi's level of size. The perkiness of the nipple made Makoto's lone eye widen, Irina's face turning a pink colour when looking at Makoto's hips.
"My, Ma-chan is a naughty boy. Ma-chan, do you mind if I see?"
Irina's words were surprisingly lustful (at least for Irina) as her eyes traced the outline of Makoto's crotch. Makoto felt heat pool into his face, it glowing bright red, and his eye biting his lower lip, covering his crotch with his hand.
"N-No, you can't!"
"Why Ma-chan?"
"Because, this is wrong! This isn't you, you don't do things like this!"
"Well, I do now Ma-chan, because I want to show Ma-chan the extent of my feelings too!"
She bent down and hovered above Makoto's body, and Makoto got a full view of her breasts, which brushed against his chest, and her eyes, her lonely looking eyes filled with regret, and sadness, it was tearing into her deeply.
Irina leaned closer towards him, and tried to touch his lips, but he stopped her with his hand.
"Ma-chan? What's going on? Don't you want to kiss me?"
Her eyes searched his lone one, wanting to understand what was going on.
"W-Well, of course, but wouldn't that be a bad thing for you and your religion? I'm a Devil now, if you kiss me, wont it bad for you when you get to go to Heaven? I don't want to be the reason Irina-chan doesn't get to be an Angel."
Irina shook her head as she began crying.
"No, I don't want to be an Angel. If Ma-chan doesn't get to be an Angel, then I don't want to be an Angel either, it isn't right, Ma-chan is the best kind of person, yet he doesn't get to be an Angel? It isn't right at all, so it isn't fair if I get to be one and Ma-chan doesn't get to be one. And if God can't accept my feelings for Ma-chan, then I don't want to believe in God anymore."
"You don't mean that."
Irina shed more tears, that fell onto his face.
"I do! What God would allow Ma-chan to suffer like this!?" Her faith was shaken as she cried. "Why would God allow Ma-chan to suffer like this!? Ma-chan is a good person, yet God didn't do anything to protect Ma-chan at all! Even when I offered my prayers up to Heaven everyday, I always prayed for Ma-chan, yet God didn't even answer any of them and protect Ma-chan! He let Ma-chan become a Devil, he let Ma-chan's eye melt, he hurt Ma-chan in different ways, and it isn't fair...Ma-chan isn't a bad person yet God did all of this, no, he didn't do anything to protect Ma-chan when I prayed so hard, and tried my best to do everything that I can do...but it never amounted to anything, all of it, didn't amount to anything."
Makoto blinked his golden eye.
"You...prayed for me everyday?"
Irina cried even more, her eyes landing on Makoto's face.
"Yes...Ma-chan, I found it extremely hard leaving here. Ma-chan and I were always great together. But, when I found out I had the potential to be a good Exorcist, I had to debate with myself over, and over again if I should go or not. I didn't want to go at first, but Ma-chan indirectly told me that it would be okay. I remember Ma-chan said "If you can be God's agent, wouldn't that be amazing?" so I thought that I could be, I could be Ma-chan's agent now, and then...it all went to hell, and Ma-chan disappeared out of my life, no I left Ma-chan's life, and went to England, and became the best Exorcist that I could. But while I was serving God, I never could forget Ma-chan, and I always prayed for Ma-chan everyday of my life, and he made me smile again. I looked at a picture of Ma-chan and me everyday. I even wore the necklace Ma-chan and I made together often and when I wasn't, I always placed it in a safe place."
Makoto gently pushed her off the bed, off him.
She looked hurt, upset, as he stood up.
She watched him walk over to a draw, and then went into a secret compartment of a draw.
Irina looked on with teary eyes, she couldn't stop with the tears that she felt in her eyes right now.
But, then she saw that he pulled out a necklace as well, one half of a blue stone.
Irina's eyes became overwhelmed with happy tears.
"Ma-chan..."
"I always kept it." He revealed, his eye trailing back to her. "I didn't know if I would ever meet Irina-chan again one day, but I always kept it as a promise that I would try my best to meet that person again one day."
Irina's smile widened a little bit, and from between her breasts, she pulled out the other half. Makoto's smile grew as he walked over to the sitting down Irina.
"They haven't been reunited in years."
"Well, they have now."
Makoto connected the pair of necklaces together, as they smiled at one another.
"Ma-chan, I'm so sorry that this happened because of me."
Makoto's hand went across her face, stroking the flesh gently.
"No, I don't, and wont ever blame you, so don't blame yourself Irina-chan. I've lost an eye, but I can still see with my other eye. Yeah, it sucks, and I feel really depressed about it, but I'm not going to dwell on it, there's more things that I need to do before I can rest. After all of this is over, then I can think about it. For now, it's not an issue, I'll adjust. I adjusted to being a Devil that hated the sun, I'll adjust to this too. And my eyes can also be my Sacred Gear, he or she can be my eyes, and my weapon. We're apart of this uniting force, they see what I see, and I see what they see, because we're connected. So don't cry okay Iri-chan? Tears don't belong on your face, they never did."
Despite him saying that, Irina couldn't help but cry as she fell against Makoto's chest. He held her tightly, stroking the back of her head as she sobbed onto his chest. Irina felt so guilty about everything going on. And all she could do was sob into his chest, and she couldn't, she wouldn't hold back either, and Makoto, didn't stop her either, he just held her in his arms and allowed her feelings to come out.
The pent up feelings that she felt, were all released at this moment in time, Makoto just allowed her to sob her heart out like she did.
Once she was finished, she looked into his golden eye, with her teary face.
Makoto stroked her face comfortingly, lovingly.
"Iri-chan, it is alright now. Please, don't worry. Everything is going to be alright, you don't have to worry now."
Irina hiccuped, continuing to hold onto the young boy for dear life.
"Ma-chan, you said that I didn't mean it about God."
"Yeah, I know you don't."
"But...it doesn't matter about that right now. God, I love God, and I serve God. But Ma-chan is also important to me. I've thought about it, if Ma-chan desired, I would always live with Ma-chan, no matter what else happened."
"Don't say that, you're supposed to be an Angel, you are an Angel, my Angel."
He added at the end, making Irina smile even more.
"Then becoming an actual Angel doesn't matter or not. Ma-chan said such beautiful words to me, so that's okay with me. In the end, being Ma-chan's Angel is okay with me, I don't need to become an actual Angel. I'd happily become a Devil if it meant I could spend all of my time with Ma-chan, I'd definitely love Ma-chan forever if he asked me to. God means the world to me, but Ma-chan means more, he protected me, even before all of this supernatural stuff. When I fell out of the tree, Ma-chan caught me with his body, when I fell into the river, Ma-chan came and pulled me out of it, despite nearly drowning himself. Ma-chan has done much for me, and I remember all of it, and I even remember my promise to Ma-chan, and I'd happily become one with Ma-chan if he desired, even if I was a Devil, if I was Ma-chan's Devil, then I'd be okay with everything else, because I know that Ma-chan, Devil or not, is still my Ma-chan."
Makoto wasn't sure if she should say that or not.
But, she seemed much happier than she was before.
So, Makoto, was happy that she was happy right now, that's all that mattered in the end, that she was happy.
She hugged Makoto's upper body, then leaned closer to Makoto's lips.
"Ma-chan, remember our promise?"
"A-Ah yeah, but that's not relevant right now..."
"Even then, I still remembered it, and how Ma-chan said it while looking me in the eyes...and now I can look at Ma-chan's golden eye, and say that, whatever happens, Ma-chan is important to me, and even if God would be against it, I don't mind doing this."
"Wai-"
He tried avoiding her, he really did.
But, she caught his lips with her own, in an intense, passionately kiss.
Makoto was frozen as Irina sunk into the kiss. Her body quivered, so Makoto supported her by holding her shoulders, wanting and yet not wanting to break the kiss. He worried for her status now kissing a Devil, but to receive a kiss from Irina was, something that blew his mind.
When Irina pulled away, she blushed immensely, as did Makoto, the eyes they both had looked everywhere other than the person themselves.
"Ma-chan's kiss was different since the last time. But, Ma-chan has kissed other girls after me. But, I was Ma-chan's first, yes?"
"Y-Yeah, you were."
He answered honestly, and showed an adorable look on his face as Irina looked back.
"Then I am content."
"But what about God Iri-chan? You just, kissed me. Would it be...I mean, wouldn't God be dissatisfied if he found out that you kissed me? I don't want you to get into trouble, that was the last thing that I would want."
"I see...then, okay. Ma-chan, don't worry. A God that doesn't accept Ma-chan isn't a God that I-"
"Don't."
Makoto cut her off.
"Ma-chan..."
"Don't, okay? Don't say it. No matter how you feel right now, even if God doesn't accept me, it is okay. I can get over that, Iri-chan, you loved God way more than anyone else I know, maybe besides Asia-chan but she's adjusted quite well I'd say. Even then, don't say anything like that Irina-chan, and just, say that we had the best kiss."
Irina hugged Makoto tightly.
"We had the best kiss."
She reiterated once more, her face going up, and Makoto's going down, sharing another kiss, a tender loving kiss that neither ever wanted to stop.
OPEN!
"Eeep!"
Irina squealed as the door was violently open, by Princess and Kalawarner. Princess' eyes were dangerous, hollow, and unforgiving. Kalawarner looked pissed off as well at the embrace that Makoto was having with Irina, thankfully not seeing their kiss. Asia and Millicas also walked closer, Ravel not far behind them.
"Nyaaaa..."
Irina seemed to understand what Princess was saying, bowing her head.
"Please...Please Princess, I'm sorry...I'm scared..."
Princess raised her head, nuzzling against Makoto's face once jumping up his body and onto his shoulder. But her eyes shot towards Irina, making her jump backwards, fear dancing between her eyes.
"Makoto-sama." Ravel spoke up, moving closer. "I have decided to stay in this room with Makoto-sama tonigh-"
"You don't have to announce it." Kalawarner pushed past her, Ravel's anger being stimulated, Kalawarner hugging Makoto from behind. "Just stay in the room." Kalawarner spoke up, kissing Makoto's neck to the others jealousy. "Like I am, isn't that right Master? You can sleep on my breasts, which are totally the best here, especially from that Irina's breasts."
"H-Hey!"
Irina pipped up, Kalawarner faking a smile.
"Can I answer something from you brown haired Exorcist woman?"
"Erm, I just want to say my boobs aren't bad...Ma-chan might like them, and then even if he doesn't...I still like Ma-chan very much, he's very important to me, and I care about Ma-chan very much."
"Well, with the people here, I suppose so in that regards. But to me, I don't like it, your breasts I mean, and they are very scary to look upon. The untouched breast of a woman that has given herself to God. Do you have a cross between your-"
"Kalawarner-sama."
Ravel reprimanded Kalawarner who glared.
Millicas moved closer to Makoto, hugging onto him, as did Asia.
"Makoto-san, even though Irina-san is here, are you still going to be with me too?"
"Ooh Asia-chan don't think such things, you're okay with me, I'm still with you, always."
Asia fell against him, and cuddled onto him, not wanting to let the young boy go, ever.
Makoto himself hugged onto Asia, Millicas, and Kalawarner as well as Ravel, and Irina who joined into the hug. Makoto loved it, that they displayed the affection, but he couldn't help but have a sinking feeling, like something was going to go down.
That night, Makoto, laid in bed together with Irina, Ravel, Kalawarner, Asia, and Millicas along with Princess on his crotch. They wouldn't leave, not that he blamed them. The surprising one was Irina herself, she wouldn't leave, and even stripped down to her panties, and bra, cradling Makoto's head in her bust.
Makoto couldn't sleep though, he kept replaying what happened again and again, what happened to him, and what could have happened to Irina.
He wouldn't of been able to take it if it happened to Irina, but he still felt frustration that this happened at all. Makoto, didn't like that he got the best of him, this person, and it made him want to train even harder than before.
Makoto noticed Asia was the one clinging to him tightly.
Using his fingers, he ran them through her hair, stroking her head gently, making her smile in her sleep.
"I'm sorry Asia-chan, I worried you huh...damn my eye, I need to keep calm, and think about it later, I can't right now, Kokabiel is out there, Yumi-senpai is out there...I need to do something...even without an eye, I can still fight, I won't stop...I need to find her and protect her..." He however looked at the bed, and the naked women all clinging to him, smiling to himself. "Even without an eye, I still get adored by these lovely girls...they are the best after all. I don't think I could do it without them...thanks everyone."
He thanked them from deep within his heart, knowing that they truly were the best he had ever witnessed before.
As he was thinking and doing what he thought was right, Millicas wormed her way up the bed, and faced him. His head left Irina's bust, Millicas' sad eyes landing on his own saddened eye, his hand gently going over her face.
She sunk into his hand, she felt good with the hand going over her like that. She even took his hand, placing it on her small breast. Makoto blinked rapidly at the sight, but she suppressed a moan from his hand on her.
"Makoto-san, I also want to be ecchi with Makoto-san sometimes. That's why, you can also, play with my bust. I know it isn't the biggest, but Makoto-sans hands can help them grow, and I'll also become the best person, that I can become, someone Makoto-san can be with too."
"Heh, maybe one day, we could be. Millicas-san, is this about my eye? Are you feeling worried about what Sera-tan might do?"
She shook her head.
"I don't care what Serafall-sama might do, all I care about is Makoto-san and what's happened. Because, Makoto-san is someone that I definitely care about, and want Makoto-san to do his best, and I want to be with Makoto-san and keep him safe, always."
"Don't worry Millicas-san about me Millicas-san, I can keep myself safe, and we'll be together the next time anything comes by."
"You know I'm worried...Makoto-san, I'm sorry about all of this. Because of being a Devil, you lost your eye, and maybe more things could happen. If you never became a Devil, then you-"
"Could've never met you."
Makoto finished off for her, Millicas' eyes downwards.
"Makoto-san..."
"I met all of you because of this, don't worry about me Millicas-san. I'm glad to have met you and I'm glad that I'm here, now. Besides, didn't you say to me once you're always going to be with me? If I never became a Devil, I never would have met you, and never got to experience you and your kindness either."
"Ooh Makoto-san, I'm glad you remembered, because I am going to be with Makoto-san always. I'll be beside him through everything else, and I can't wait for Makoto-san to...I just can't wait for our relationship to go forward, more and more."
Millicas leaned up, and caught his lips. He kissed her back as he closed his lone eye, cupping her sweet face with one of his hands. She responded by running her hands through his hair, then Makoto felt her tongue slip into his mouth.
His lone eye shot open at the very idea that she did that. But it wasn't unwelcomed. He played with her tongue, and she allowed him to, wanting him to kiss her deeply, it was the only thing she could do right now.
Millicas took his other hand, placing it on her small breast, groaning into his mouth as his hand squeezed her breast. Feeling the mewling that she was doing, Makoto smiled into their shared kiss with one another.
But then, Makoto, Millicas, Kalawarner, and Ravel all sat up right away, because of an enormous pressure they had never felt before. Well, besides one person who had felt it before, and that was Kalawarner herself.
"Ooh shit, he's here..."
Makoto heard her murmur, Irina rubbing her eyes at the disturbance.
"What's going on..."
"Damn it, this power..."
Millicas jumped off the bed and stood in front of the window. Asia also got up after feeling something, and clung to Makoto as Ravel got off the bed as well, moving towards the window, and seeing who she did.
"I've never met him, but he's the person who you all described..."
Ravel murmured, as Makoto walked to the window, Asia clung to him tightly partly in fear, Irina moving closer to the window as well.
When they looked down from the window, there was someone looking up…
"…Freed! What's happened to Yumi-senpai..."
The one who had a sickening and evoking smirk was the white haired priest, Freed. Irina tightened her eyes, slipping on her clothes.
"Ma-chan, we've got to do something."
"Agreed."
Makoto clicked his fingers, putting on some clothes as did Millicas, Ravel, and Kalawarner. Makoto then did the same thing for Asia, putting some clothes on her via magic, Asia smiling at the outfit that she had on, her school uniform.
"…A Fallen Angel is nearby."
Millicas murmured ever so slightly.
"It's Kokabiel, I can feel it inside of me though I wish I felt Master inside of me, we've got to do something Master."
"Yeah, come on, lets go."
Makoto was first out of the door along with Asia clinging to him, followed by Irina, Millicas, and Kalawarner. Ravel took a few seconds, looking at the situation at hand, not liking it, but still followed the others out.
As she walked, she saw Mittelt, Rias, and Ise all exiting the room and the house as well.
The street was near quiet, besides the priest that looked at them all.
"Yaho! Makoto-kun. Asia-tan. Looks like you guys are in a bad mood. Were you doing alright? Ara ara, were you guys having sex? Then I'm sorry. Not reading the atmosphere is my charming point."
When we got out of the house, the shitty priest talked to us with a weird speech.
"What do you want? Tell me right now."
Makoto asked him, but he just shook his shoulder with a laugh.
"My, is that bandage a fashion trend? It looks super cute on you! Gives you a bad boy theme!"
"Don't you speak to Ma-chan like that!"
Irina changed the Excalibur she had into a katana, and went to go forward, but she stopped, when she felt the pressure again. The pressure was so strong that it exceeded all of their expectations, besides possibly Millicas who felt angered by such a presence.
"No doubt, this is Kokabiel..."
"I'm fucking scared Kalawarner, Kokabiel's gonna kill me and you, mostly me, and you as well!"
Mittelt let out a fearful cry, not wanting to die, ever.
Then, Rias' and Millicas' eyes went upwards. They looked at the power that was coming for them, and so did Makoto with his lone eye, soon the others followed with their own eyes, seeing what was up there, and didn't like it.
It was a Fallen Angel who had his black wings growing out from his back. He had ten of these wings, and they all looked black as night. Kalawarner's, and Mittelt's wings sprung out of their back as a response to this, making sure that they are gonna be alright.
This mans eyes, Kokabiel's eyes went around the others, and looked at Rias. His eyes briefly went over her, as she readied to speak, but to her surprise, he stopped, and looked back towards Makoto himself, ignoring Rias.
"This is our first time meeting, Queen of Serafall. The famous blonde and black hair, yes I see it is still the same. Though, you seem to be missing an eye? The eye you have, has gone? So, what happened? I used to enjoy staring at your different coloured eyes."
Makoto felt like it was a blue to his stomach that was coming through right now.
"So, you're Kokabiel, aren't you? Though I have lost my eye-"
"Kokabiel." Rias began cutting off Makoto to Ravel's annoyance. "I am Rias Gremory."
Rias smiled out, showing a smile that meant she was ready to fight.
Kokabiel blinked, then turned his head.
"Anyway, Queen of Serafall-"
"Wait." Rias cut him off, putting her hand up as she did. "If you want to talk, then please talk to me. I do run this town, you know? Please direct your words towards me, and I will cooperate with you in this conversation alone."
Kokabiel rolled his eyes with a heavy sigh, a tick mark appearing above Rias' head.
"Anyway, Queen of Serafall, it is a pleasure to meet you."
Rias growled at Kokabiel, but he ignored her, increasing her aura around her body.
"Oi, creature from the black lagoon! I'm here too! Talk to me!"
Rias declared, her rage becoming increasingly scary. Even Ise felt sweat drip down his back at the scary look Rias had in her eyes.
"Will you shut the fuck up Rias-sama!?"
Mittelt yelled at her with teary eyes.
"What!? I need to talk too!"
"Shut up! That bastard up there is terrifying! Please, just keep your mouth shut! I want to live past this day, so please keep your mouth zipped, or I will hit you with my spears of light and they will kill you! Please, for the love of everything in this world, just shut up!"
Rias took a step back, putting her hands upwards in defence.
"Alright, chill out."
Kokabiel sighed heavily.
"Kalawarner, Mittelt. So, I heard you had become the bitch of the Devils, how quint. You two always were disgusting. Half breed scum. Truthfully, I am glad you're gone. Too bad Raynare is gone, she was a hot piece of ass. You two, make me feel violently ill, go and die."
Kalawarner, and Mittelt looked downwards in depression.
"Hey! Leave them alone you jerk!"
Ise shot at him with disdain, Makoto agreeing with his head.
"There's no reason to even say that! If you want to speak, do it right now! I want you to speak, right now!"
Kokabiel chuckled dirtily.
"I presume you understand why I am here." Makoto glared. "I see an Excalibur in front of me with that brown haired girl, she needs to hand that over. It's better now, so I don't have to dirty my hands with her blood."
Irina pulled backwards slightly.
Even with all of her training, she still felt unsure of all of this, and wondered where Xenovia was, and Yumi as well, though it was Makoto more worried for Yumi than anything else.
"No, she's not. She wont give her sword to you, unless she's running it through your icy heart."
Makoto stepped in front of her in a defensive movement, causing Irina to smile in appreciation.
"My, the brave and the bold, you surely are interesting to me. Much more than Rias Gremory, that's why I chose to speak with you."
Rias shook her head, a mirthful expression on her face.
"Ise, get ready, I'm going to shoot him soon."
"Buchou, please..."
"He's testing my patience, and I wont be able to hold on forever..."
Rias truly was becoming mad, but she knew Ise was right, so she kept herself as strong as she could for the moment.
"Speak away then, I want to hear what you've got to say, though if you're just going to ask for Excalibur, then forget it. We're not handing it over, so why don't you give us the Excalibur you, and your little lacky Freed has. How about that?"
"You're strong, for saying and speaking like that to me."
"I wouldn't do something as stupid as talking with a Maou. Well, if I rape and kill his little sister along with his daughter, then Sirzechs' anger will be pointed towards me. That won't be bad."
Rias glared at Kokabiel with disdainful eyes. As Millicas did the same thing as well, she wasn't amused with what was going on. But Makoto seethed with rage, he wasn't going to be going down like this.
"You sick bastard, don't even try anything or I'll freeze you solid. I'll even freeze your eyes, and make you watch your own death."
Millicas smiled towards Makoto who had his eyes solely on the opponent before him.
"I love your scary side, it is as expected as a Maou's Queen. Though you're currently the weakest Queen a Maou has, I can see great things from you, so Makoto, come and join me by my side. You were turned into a Devil unfairly, and though I do hate Devils, I don't mind taking you with me."
"Don't even lay a hand on my brother you sick bastard!"
Kokabiel rolled his eyes at Ise, making a spear of light.
"Don't bother me pest."
Without even mercy, he launched the spear at Ise. Ise went to activate his Sacred Gear, but it was unnecessary, as Makoto manifested his Sacred Gear, and froze the spear of light just as it was going to touch Ise, grabbing a hold of the block of ice, smashing the ice with his pure hand.
Even without his eye, Ise could see how strong mentally Makoto was, and how he saved his life. He knew that he didn't need to be coddled, Makoto wasn't the type to do that, he was a strong guy, and even losing an eye isn't going to slow him down, and he was proud, he honestly didn't know what he would do if he lost an eye.
"Don't attack my Onii-chan you bastard."
"Nice, you saw it coming. Though I was only half serious, that's a good movement from you, Queen of Serafall."
"So. Why are you here?"
Kokabiel answered Makoto's question with joy.
"To offer you a chance at my side. Didn't I say it before?"
"You attacked my Onii-chan and then you ask me to go with you? Are you a moron or something?"
Kokabiel was actually impressed with the young boy's resolve. Even then, he was annoyed as well.
"I'll let that girl there, live." He pointed to Irina as she backed away. "If you don't join me, I'll be forced to kill her, and the others. But, it doesn't have to end like that Makoto. Just come with me, I'm sure we'd make the perfect team together. You, and me, we're not so different."
"Besides the fact that you're evil, and I'm not? Yeah, we're so similar."
Makoto scoffed out with sarcasm, showing that he wasn't going to be messed with.
"Fine, have it your way, and stay here then like a little bitch that you are. Die, with the rest of them. I was only being generous, because your future, is going to be grim. Once others discover what you really are."
Makoto was still confused by all of this, he didn't understand.
"What are you talking about?"
"Anyway." He ignored Makoto's question, and continued. "I will be rampaging in this town using your base, Kuoh Academy, as the starting point. Then Sirzechs will also appear, right?"
"If you do something like that, the War between God, Fallen-Angels and Devils will begin again you know?"
Ravel posed her thoughts, Kokabiel didn't seem to care though, and laughed at the way Ravel looked.
"That's what I'm wishing for Ravel Phenex."
"You know my name?"
"Yes, I know who you are, Ravel Phenex. I'm a fan. You are amazing, especially during the Rating Game, you are spectacular, and I truly am a Ravel supporter, and a Makoto and Ravel supporter in their love, even if you're going to die soon."
Ravel tipped her head to the side, she didn't expect to have a Fallen Angel fan.
"O-Oh, okay...thank you but that's a little disturbing for someone like me honestly. So, could you not, like I don't know, just don't be my fan."
"It's the only fan you're only going to get so take it."
Kalawarner warned from the side, making Ravel glare at her.
Kokabiel continued without a care though.
"I thought that Michael would start a War if I steal the Excalibur... But what he sent were grunt Exorcists and two holy-sword wielders that one seems to be a bit of a bitch. It's boring. I'm really bored indeed! That's why I'm going to rampage at Sirzechs sister's base. See? It looks fun, right?"
"Thats your plan!? Talk about cliché!"
Makoto growled out, and Kokabiel laughed.
"Maybe it is, but that's what I live for! Maybe you've forgotten that!"
"Forgotten, what exactly?"
"My, hasn't even anyone told you? Could it be they are saving you the heartache to tell you what you really are?"
"What am I then!?"
Makoto yelled more aggressively this time, he wasn't amused at all.
"That's for me to know, and for you to find out, so have that. Either way, did you know, I'm going to start a war. It is going to be fun as well. It is going to be so fun, just like the old days, I am so excited to see what's going to happen in the future."
"…You battle-freak. You're not going to be able to do that in the near future, you know?"
Millicas said it with hatred. But Kokabiel laughed with joy.
"Yeah. That's it! I was bored and bored after the war between the three sides! Azazel and Shamza weren't that keen on the next war. They then started to collect something boring like Sacred Gear and started to do some weird research. Something useless like that won't be of any use to us! …Well, it's a different story if it's a "Boosted Gear" like the one the brat over there has… But it's not something you can find so easily."
Kokabiel then looked at Ise. Makoto looked on as Ise spoke up.
"…Are you guys also after my Sacred Gear?"
"At least I'm not interested in it. But Azazel might be. His collection hobby is crazy."
"So, he's interested in Onii-chan's Sacred Gear?"
"He might even be interested in yours too."
Makoto ground his teeth, wanting to know more and more about this.
"What happened to Xenovia!? And Kiba-san as well! They were tracking you down, what happened!?"
"Oh, good question. It seems like they got away. I tried sending Freed after them, but they got away, and it really has annoyed me, but still, I have enjoyed something's like this going down. Even then, it has been fun dealing with Freed too, don't worry about anything else though now."
Makoto was relieved, Yumi was safe.
He didn't care much for Xenovia, but Irina did, and that's all that mattered to Makoto honestly, as long as she cared, then he was going to do the same thing.
Kokabiel cockily cocked his head to the others, and grinned from ear to ear
"Either way, I'm going to be starting a battle involving the Holy Swords, Queen of Serafall. For starting a war! A school where both little sisters of Sirzech's and Leviathan's go to, along with Sirzechs own daughter, and the amazing daughter of the Phenex, and even the beloved Queen of Serafall. It must be filled with demonic powers so that I can enjoy the chaos! It's also the best place to release the real power of Excalibur's! It's a good place for the battlefield."
"So, you're gonna just start a battle with us, knowing you're more powerful? That's a bully tactic, right there!"
Ravel growled out, she wasn't happy right now.
"My, what a thing to say, I'm really happy about you."
"Just stop this nonsense right now!"
"Hyahahaha! Isn't my boss the best? His craziness is the best. So I'm also eager to do it. He even gives me treats like this."
What Freed took out was an Excalibur, and he had another as well on his hip. Makoto knew the ones he had, he had fought one of them, and the other, he had studied up on and realized what they were, and it made Makoto nervous seeing two Excalibur's in one place.
"The one on the right is "Excalibur Rapidly" The one on my hip is "Excalibur Transparent". I also wasn't to receive "Excalibur Mimic" from the girl over there! I also feel like getting "Excalibur Destruction" that the other girl has, and my other Excalibur, Shota-sama, you have that, don't you!?"
"Well, that's my own worries, nothing to do with you."
Makoto shot back at Freed, but his tongue was out like a wagging dog.
"Hyaa! Am I the first person in the World to be in possession of this many Excaliburs? I also received an element from the geezer Valper that allows me to wield Holy Swords. Right now I'm in a hyper mode that allows me to wield all of them, you know? I'm invincible! I'm wonderful! I'm the strongest! Hyahahahahahahahaha!"
Freed laughed as if he found it really funny. The others didn't know or even think it was funny.
"Valper's Holy Sword research. It's the real deal if it shows this much result. To tell the truth, it seemed suspicious when he joined my plan."
"So Kokabiel and Valper are together."
Ise murmured into Makoto's ear, the boy nodding.
"Seems likely. Valper we don't really have to worry about, it's Freed, and Kokabiel there we have to worry about."
Ise agreed with Makoto's words.
"What are you planning to do with the Excalibur's!?"
Rias asked him. Kokabiel moved his ten black wings and moved his body in the direction of the school.
"Hahaha! Let's have a War! Imouto of Sirzechs Lucifer, Queen of Serafall!"
FLASH!
Freed took out an item to blind them, and when the light died down, they were gone again.
Makoto growled at the sights of what happened, and then turned to Ravel, as Rias and Ise pulled away to speak, so they didn't hear what they were saying.
"Ravel-san...you already know what I want, right?"
"I know Makoto-sama, allow me to gather everyone right away, and make sure I contact Sona-sama's group as well. As for Serafall-sama..."
"I'm not an idiot, we have to contact her right away. I know Buchou and Kaichou are gonna be against it, but I'm no fool, and know when I'm outclassed, we have to call her back, she would be mad if I didn't call her back as well."
Ravel understand what he was talking about, and knew what he wanted. But, there was something she was unsure of.
"And...your eye? Should I..."
Ravel didn't know how to put it, she didn't even know what she was going to say to Serafall about all of this.
"If she finds out about that, God and Maou-sama might not be able to stop her. Just tell her about Kokabiel, and what's going on...I'd rather break the news to her myself when I'm there, and she can see me eye to eye, I don't want Sera-tan to have a meltdown."
Ravel inclined her head.
"That's probably wise, she's with important people now, and if she, as the humans say, flew off the handle, it might cause a crisis, so for now, I'll only say about Kokabiel, and how we'll stall him. Okay, I'll contact Serafall-sama, and inform her of what's going on."
"Thank you." Makoto turned to Kalawarner. "Kalawarner-san, you told me once that Azazel-san was against this kind of thing?"
"He is, but Master that's..."
"About that, then maybe you could contact him, and tell him what's going on. Perhaps, he might come and aide us, or send someone. I know that alone, we might be able to stall him until help arrives, and I'm not sure how long help is going to take. And even then, I'm not sure if Kokabiel is going to play with us or not. If he goes serious from the beginning, we might die quickly, but if he plays, we can at least come up with some kind of stalling measure to keep him from running rampage around this town, we have to protect the human's here, so please make the call."
"Yes Master, I shall contact Azazel-sama right away!"
Makoto nodded in thanks.
Makoto's eye went towards Millicas.
"Millicas-san is the strongest one here, she has the best chance out of any of us to fight this bastard."
"Makoto-san I..."
Makoto bent towards her, placing his hands on her shoulders.
"Millicas-san, you must realize it. Beyond me, beyond Ise-nii, beyond even Rias-buchou and the others, you're the most powerful here. We'll support you, of course we will, but you're gonna have to fight too, okay? I know you're brave, I saw it when you fought that douche that called himself your fiancée, I know you'll be able to do this as well, alright?"
Millicas instantly became pumped up, her hands tightened together.
"Yes, Makoto-san, I understand! Since I am going to join Makoto-sans peerage in the future, I shall also show him now that he can rely on me."
Makoto inclined his head.
"Good, because we're gonna need everyone. Exorcist, Devil, Fallen Angel, and even Vampire from Elmen-chan, we're gonna have to fight together. So, is everyone ready?"
[Yes!]
Makoto got them pumped, and he was very excited now, he knew what he had to do now. Though he was missing an eye, that didn't matter now, he was ready to fight, he wasn't going to slow anyone down. He was going to do his best.
End chapter!
So, we dealt with the aftermath of Makoto losing an eye, and setting up next chapter! We even get the first (on screen) kiss between Irina and Makoto, showing how close they really are, and how much they care for the other. We even got a nice little scene between brothers, Rias is freaking out (understandably with the kind of person Serafall can be) and now we're getting into the fight with Kokabiel, and other things will be happening as well!
Next time, we're beginning the fight with Kokabiel, until then, thanks for reading!
