(star)Welcome back to chapter three of The House of Albatros.
(hunter) Also known as the shit storm chapter.
(star) agreed now on with the story and be prepared.
"Raynare." Issei's growled out as the boosted gear materialize and started boosting with a green glow coming from the middle jewel. As Issei raises his hand he notices a ice cold feeling on his left shoulder which as he turns is revealed a black sword resting broad side on his shoulder just before he feels all the power from boosted gear disappear.
"Don't you dare move Issei." Says Hunter still draining Issei energy with his sword with his black shield resting on his left arm.
"Everyone just put down your weapons and let me explain." Daios states as Abyssal blessing materializes on his right hand as he holds it in front of his chest.
"Why should we she did kill me." Issei stated as he glared daggers at Raynare who by now has backed away fearfully.
"I agree She did kill my cute pawn." Rias added as destruction magic started to gather only for a purple runic octagon to form over the energy dispersing it. Rias looks over at the couch in which Kuroka states only to find a small purple octagon hovering over her outstretched hand
"Thanks Kuroka now will everyone stop and listen." Daios states getting visibly angry causing everyone in his peerage besides Hunter and Kuroka to pale but Kuroka breaks eye contact with Koneko only to look at Daios lustfully.
"How about everyone stop or I will use my balance breaker and stop you all." Says Hunter with a smile that would indicate he wanted them to try.
[Hi there Ddraig remember me] A voice rumbles in a deep gravely voice out of the two weapons in Hunter's hand.
[ALDUIN you're here to?] Ddraig voice echos out of the boosted gear.
[You know things happened and well I ended up becoming a sacred gear same as you however Hunter is my first host.] Alduin explains
[Really how?]
"We don't have time for a backstory. Now will you people please PUT DOWN YOUR WEAPONS!" Daios yelled as his entire right arm is encased within black armor with a snake vinyl pulsing with power on the spiked shoulder pad just before a wave of pure raw power rips away from him causing his peerage members to brace and Sirzechs to form a shield around the visiting group.
"Daios calm down a little friendly fight won't hurt anyone as long as I don't hurt anyone too bad." Says Hunter smiling.
"Hunter don't need your shit, You Red Dragon Emperor." Daios states pointing toward Issei. "Deactivate your Boosted Gear. True she did kill you but don't you notice you're scaring the poor girl who just woke up with amnesia." Daios stated as the shoulder armor disappeared.
"Uh?" Issei only stare dumbly as his gear disappeared before looking at the fallen angel only to notice she is hiding behind Daios with tears streaming down her face. Which Issei only reaction is to stare back at Daios with a mindblown expression "Amnesia? You can't be serious she must be playing you guys to escape."
"How could she if she must of just woken up and walked out here with the confused expression before you guys started through death threats, And for the best part one of our pawns would've sensed any hostile intent and she only sensed some from you and Lady Rias. Also I would have sensed it considering the fact she one of my pawns." Daios stated as he put a hand on Reynares head, which she looks up at him with a slightly happy expression
"Thank you." Raynare stated in a barely audible voice before hiding behind Daios once more.
"And that's why I was pissed she should have been put in such a scarring experience considering the face she just came to from her mini coma." Daios mumble to himself before turning back to Issei and Rias. "Well what do you have to say for yourselves?"
At this Rias blushed and Issei looks chest fallen. "Though so, Hikari can you please take Raynare back to the medical room and try to calm her down."
After Daios asked Hikari get up and moves to Raynare slinging an arm around her shoulders before leading her down the hall she came from.
"H-How did she survive I though I completely destroyed her?" Rias asked looking down because of the possible scarring she could have inflicted.
"Simple she didn't but I called in to favors after she died one to see her past that was the first one then after I saw exactly what happened to that poor girl I called in another to revive her with near complete amnesia and as one of my remaining pawn pieces."
"So let me get this straight you actually revive someone from non existence after looking into her past" Sirzech asked with a curious expression. "If I'm right only one being has that kind of power and if so how and the hell did you get into contact with him."
"That is something for no one to know and us to not to tell."Answers Hunter
"Knowing you two I know I can't get it out of you." Sirzech stated before showing an evil smirk which Daios notices and pales a bit. "Since you won the rating game you will have the free choice of one of Risers pieces and as for permission, granted." Sirzech stated earning know glaces to Daios and confused stares of the visiting group. Along with a nervous chuckle from Daios. "As for what pieces Riser has recovered enough to compose a list of all the pros and cons of his piece for you. You have humbled him quite a bit." Sirzech then take out a small piece of paper and walking up to Daios handing him the note. As Daios open the note and reads the first line.
Yubelluna the bomb queen great in a- [Warning actual contents to graphic for a light novel have a great time with the rest of the story] (Hunter Out)
That was all Daios read before the paper turned black and disintegrated into ash.
"Ravel Phenex and I need her Bishop piece out of her."
"That will be done anyways we have all taken enough of your time we will leave you to your victory celebration." Sirzechs stated as he opened a transport circle ushering out Rias and the rest of her peerage
"Very well Sirzechs I will be seeing you soon and I'm sorry for my earlier outbursts." Daios stated with a slight bow towards the current Lucifer.
"No problem take care Daios and you better look after my sister." Sirzech stated in a killing intent filled voice.
"No problem Sir." Daios replied with a sarcastic salute as Sirzechs left and the circle closes.
"Shirone I have finally found you after so long I will get you in this awwww!" Kuroka mumbled as plan filtered through her brain before Daios pinched her in the side of the neck causing her to blush and let out a slight moan.
"Maybe I will beat the shit out of you next time Issei." Says Hunter Smiling
"Why am I not surprised but you might have to get in line after me and those two." Daios commented pointing to Melody and Yuki who were seething at the perverted look that Issei had given them.
"Of course the girls can completely annihilate him first." Says Hunter.
"Perfect" The girls replied in unison their anger dropping
"Okay now everyone I need to handle an emotionally scarred fallen devil to deal with you guy are free to do what you want. Alison if you would please help with this" Daios asked before turning and walking down the hall in which Alison quickly follows.
"Well I going to go to sleep." Says Hunter as Yolanda follows with him to his room.
(within the medical room)
As Daios enters he immediately notices Raynare slightly shaking as Hikari tries to comfort her as she slowly rubs the fallen's back.
'Damn that idiot, this is gonna take forever to get this resolved' Daios thought as he approached and claimed the spot to the right before tapping Raynare on the shoulder. "Raynare"
As Raynare turn she see the man Daios sitting next to her and see as he defended her she did the most logical thing in her mind hug him. Which she did as she turn toward Daios she quickly grabbed his shirt and pulled herself to him while tears started rolling down her cheeks "W-Why….were they…..all so-o mean." She manage to sputter out.
"Well it's not entirely unjustified see as they didn't know you lost most of the 'evil' memories but if you what I can explain what happened" Daios stated as he put a hand on her shoulder.
"Yes please I need to find out why so I can try to fix it." She replied
"Before Apophis retrieved you, you might of killed the brown haired pervert and then tried to take the blonde girl Asia's sacred gear and killed her in the process. Luckily both of them were saved by Rias Gremory. So after awhile you can hopefully apologize and put it behind you. Just know that we are behind you as your new family remember that." Daios said as he brought the tear plagued fallen into a hug before releasing her and getting up.
"T-Thank you Daios and thanks Hikari." Raynare replied as Daios left the room followed by Hikari after a quick embrace with the fallen.
(Ten mintues later time 11:36)
'Well hopefully that stops any more scarring on that poor girl.' Daios thought as he enter his room and then into his bathroom quickly making a small beaker full of Abyssal water and pulling the small dropper from the morning. Leaving the water he quickly switches to his night clothes which are a white t-shirt and a pair of black shorts before heading to bed with the water in hand. After settling into the bed with the lights off. He waited two minutes with the water at the ready. Noticing the closest door opening slightly and two hazel eye sneak out slow towards the bed, about five feet from the bed the figure leaps causing Daios to spring into action and lob a single drop of water(Then quickly putting the water on the nightstand striking the figure directly in the stomach. Causing The figure let out a sharp female nya before dropping into the bed on Daios on his right. The female quickly went under the covers and latched onto Daios right shivering and rubbing his arm with her soft breasts.
"So you've learned your lesson Kuroka?" Daios asked at the shivering kitty glue to his side.
"Yes Daios, now please warm me up?" The neko asked in a sincere tone as she cuddled up more to his arm.
"Fine but don't try anything." Daios replies as he turns on his side and pulls Kuroka close with her head resting just below his. A soon as he does Kuroka quickly gets as close as possible and starts to purr lightly.
"You know you almost always get your way and I just figured out why."
"Why so nya?"
"Simple I care for you and you make my life all the more interesting if not more annoying with so tensing."
"Well you know the only way to stop it Daios." Kuroka states while looking at Daios while attempting a seductive smirk. And slightly running her hand down his back.
"Hell regiment" Daios states in a monotone. To which she visibly pales and stops all movement before quickly hugging Daios as close a possible shivering at the threat.
"Just kidding my queen just kidding." Daios states as he settle down for a hopefully peaceful night.
(12:00)
Yuki was walking back from the kitchen after getting a small night snake when she walks into what she believed was her room before noticing Hunterr sleeping with a naked Yolanda. At this a soft red glow appeared on her chest from behind the icy blue nightgown she was wearing before a medium size ball of ice formed in her hand which she quickly whipped at Hunters sleeping form, but overcalculated and the ice ball tore through the wall into Daios room. But she didn't think nothing of it as she reformed another ball and whipped it at his leg that was getting close to the naked form of Yolanda. The ice ball striking the left leg straight in the thigh snapping him awake. Hunter then immediately forms a big ball of electricity and though it at Yuki. In response Yuki forms a barrier of ice that deflects the shot into the ceiling.
"I thought you were different Knight." Yuki states as she tries to form another barrier of ice but can't.
Hunter then throws his sword directly past Yuki's head before saying "Well for one it was her choice to come in here all the time and if you want to complain go look at Daios."
"Still Why is she naked?" Yuki asked as she glared at Hunter.
"For one ask her when sh-." And that when the kill intent floored the room causing both Hunter, Yuki and the now awake Yolanda stare at the hole in the wall that's glowing purple. But what Yuki can't see is the raging darkness behind the also quickly puts his shield in front of him and Yolanda from the direction of the hole. As the glow brightens to a eye hurting degree before cutting of and standing in the hole is a still very nude and now extremely pissed Kuroka but what put fear into Yuki heart was the purple torrent that surrounded her
"Good luck Yuki this is why you don't shoot things next door to Daios." Says Hunter keeping Yolanda safe with him behind the shield. And that's when the darkness flowed from around the purple as it slow spread around the room. As Kuroka smiled evilly and started toward The frozen pawn of ice, Daios stepped out of the hole surrounded with a cloak of black formless energy staring directly at Hunter.
"Hey the pawn went on the shooting frenze." Explained Hunter to Daios
"Still what did I say about fighting and from what that sword buried in the wall over there and the smell of ozone you used both your sacred gear and your lightning."
"The lightning is my reaction to getting woken up by being shot at the sword was precision thrown as a warning."
"What did I say about fighting The lightning i understand but you had no need for the sword. You could've ended Yuki's life tonight if that was miscalculated." Daios stated as he looked over to see Yuki getting towed away by Kuroka.
"She was about to try another shot and I never miss with my sword ever."
"NEVER get over confident in your abilities for it take one mistake and we will have to bury one of our own understand?" The expression Daios wore promised pain.
"Let's just head back to bed."
"Agreed." Daios stated as he walked back through the hole. "Kuroka come on." At this Kuroka bounded through the hole before Daios spoke one last time. "Tomorrow and the next few days Yuki have two hell regiments and you have three. The extra one to stop any and all ignorance." At this the hole in the wall closed and Yuki just silently walked out of the room a dead expression on her face.
(Within Daios room)
"Daios and Kuroka after drying the sheets with magic get back into the comfortable position that they were in before the ice crash through.
"Damn it this is why we need better locks of name plates." Daios states while resting his head on Kuroka trying to calm her down.
"I agree nya, But I will enjoy the training tomorrow." Kuroka stated as she nuzzled Daios chest through his shirt. "Soooo warm."
"Silly kitty." Daios commented as he scratched behind her left ear enticing a purr and a light moan. 'Damn her ear must be sensitive.'
'I just have a feeling that tomorrow is gonna be bad so live in the present." Daios tough as he looked down at the now calm nekoshou that had faithfully assisted him in his endeavors. "So be like a devil, be greedy' Daios though as he prepared for something he never thought he would do. "Kuroka."
"Yes Dai-mmm." Kuroka started to say before her eyes widen as Daios lightly pressed his lips to hers. After a few second to comprehend the shock that he recuperated her true feeling of love she held for him before she melted into the light kiss as her entire body was set alight and ablaze before she tried to deepen it but Daios refused her.
"Daios….I-I" Kuroka couldn't even form sentences at this point for the man she loved had just kissed her. She hadn't look at Daios as just a strong parent for her race for years now. Now she looked at him as a life long partner, And if he wanted to he could have more mates, she didn't care as long as she had him. And it was the nature of both devils and nekoshou to take more than one. Who was she to deny him that. So instead of talking she released him pushed him to his back and quite firmly claimed on top of him before resting her head on his right, right beside his neck directly on top of him as she intertwined her legs with his as she purred out of sheer happiness. She wasn't even horny right now she only could be happy but she had to ask. "Why did you do that nya?" Kuroka asked in the most quite,soft,and innocent voice Daios had ever heard from her before pondering her question for not even a second.
"Because living in the past is no life nor is living for the future, so I live in the present and tonight when I took the ice magic to the face I saw how you reacted, The look of concern and affection shocked me. Kuroka, you don't see me just as a strong parent anymore do you."
"Ever since we first met when my old king order your death, How you incapacitated anyone who stood in your way which was the entire peerage beside me and Shirone before slicing the bastard's head off. You saved me and my little sister. From then on I viewed you as a mate and when you offered safe haven in the form of the house of Albatros as your first piece and queen. I truly thought I had you. That my race was saved, But you didn't take me when I offered myself to you for your pleasure. You instead threw clothes at me and made me promise to look beyond strength and three years after that, One year ago I finally saw the truth behind the words. I saw passed your strength and saw your true loyal, caring, headstrong, stubborn as an ox. Ever since events at the black raven outpost I knew I had only wanted you as a mate for my race. That night your sister died defending us and I saw your grief, despair as she passed from this world. Moments before you when into juggernaut drive I knew I wasn't just in love with you. I was bond to you already, I had unconsciously staked my claim as one of your life long mate and to answer your question yes I view you not as a strong mate but I view you as my one true mate and when you kissed me I felt the bond take hold. So Daios I am forever bound to you and only you. And rest assured I will be faithful to only you. man, women, hell, and heaven be damned." Kuroka spilled three years worth of emotion from that speech if the tears pouring down from her eyes were any indication. But there was the look of pure affection, love, and happiness.
(Small switch of pov first person kuroka)
'I couldn't look him in the eye as too many emotions flew throughout his silver orbs. I knew I shouldn't have done this it has ruin our friendship. I truly can't live without him. I had to stay close by him now there wasn't no turning back. Maybe if I pretend I was teasing him and then my train of thought stops as his soft lips came to rest over mind in a quick kiss that stopped my heart.
(POV REGULAR)
As Daios stop Kuroka thought before he spoke two things that destroyed any and all doubts she had.
"Kuroka never doubt yourself or I will destroy those doubts. I promise I will not lose you. I have learnt the lesson to well to lose another person in my life. And I will fill your wish my beautiful neko eventually when we are in the most peaceful position possible in the world." With this Daios gave her one more kiss before snuggling up to her as she nuzzled into his chest.

(5:50)
Daios eye slow open to a sea of black hair and the feeling of his arms wrapped around something very soft and warm. He almost freaked out before remembering last night and the revelation shared between him and his queen Kuroka.'Damn that really happened. I really was blind.' Daios thought as he stared down at the sleeping women held in his arms. As she slowly and carefully started to rub her back causing her to fidget.
"Nyyyyaaa." Kuroka let out light meow-like moan as she subconsciously leaned into his touch. Just before her hazel eye open slightly. "So getting all touchy feely after luring an innocent maiden into your bed." She states looking up at Daios with a lustful gaze.
"But I wouldn't get that way if that 'innocent' maiden wasn't so attractive hmm." Daios replied with a victorious smirk as he takes his hand away from her well muscled back. In which Kuroka only stares back with a weaponized pout.
"You are no fun." Kuroka stated pouting before detaching herself from Daios side before sitting up with no shame in showing the one she chosen her full glory. As she sits up she also turns towards the high class devil as ever so slightly shake causing her chest to sway.
"No it's just I have sheer power of control to stop myself." Daios replies back. "But I can't say I don't enjoy the view." He adds while giving Kuroka a glance that would cause most women to slap the giver of the glance. Just as Daios moves to gets up his eye narrow as he feels one of the many detection wards all around the base go off. At this Abyssal Blessing materializes before darkness over flows the room removing all the light and leaving only darkness.
(5:50)
Hunter eyes open to brown ears in front of him and the feeling of his arms wrapped around something soft and warm along with a tail wrapped around his arm. Hunter remembered how last night went and settle in. 'Well that ended up better than I feared but worse than I hoped.' Thought Hunter as Yolanda opened her red eyes. "Good morning Hunter" said Yolanda as she got up and got dressed. Hunter also got dressed. "Ready to go." Hunter asked as he looks over to Yolanda who just finished putting on a light blouse
"Ye-" Yolanda tried to reply before the sound of smashing wood from outside cuts her off.
(5:50 outside the apartment)
The elite stray exorcist strike team readies a berching spell to gain access to 'stray devils hideout' to eradicate the devils to prepare for Kokabiel's plan for the two heiresses in the territory.
"Okay the spell is set let's get this done with." The leader states as he activated the spell releasing the seal on the doors. "Move in and kill all strays in sight." He commands as the five others within the strike team readies their light swords before entering and instantly going to the bedrooms area with the massive penthouse complex. Just as they pass the third door down the line the sound of shifting metal is heard from within. Causing one of the underling of the group to stop and reach for the door before a black gauntlet burst from the door and wraps itself around the closest ones throat before wrenching the poor soul backwards into the darkness that seemed to be leaking from the hole. Before the sound of a sword being drawn and then followed by the sound of metal slicing into flesh as two red ord appear staring out into the hallway from the hall as the rest of the group turns around to retreat into a better position in the main living area but as the last one in the group turns back the door right beside the one with the hole in it flies off it hings and embedded itself into the opposite wall completely. Causing cracks to spread out along the wall as a Devil steps out in a white shirt and with a black hoodie and jeans with two black and gold gauntlets with a dragon detailed shield held in one hand and a sword with same colors in the other. As he catches sight of the fleeing team he swings the sword in an upwards swing before releasing causing to to sail right into the chest cavity of the idiot who turn around. After the sword make contact the exorcist could only stare as the door with the hole in it flies off it own hinges before shattering on the wall and out of the door a black armored figure walks out with it's helmet's eye blazing a infernal red. That was all the man could see before his soul and life left his body.
"Well, well, well this is gonna be fun isn't it Hunter. Shall we allow the Hell Cat Queen have her fun?" Daios asked from within his balance breaker.
"Sure I have no problem with it." Says Hunter as he wipes the blood from his sword.
"Kuroka come here please." Daios asked into the black hole held within his room as his balance breaker disabled, just before Kuroka walks out in her regular kimono and her expression show one thing, pure uncheck, unwithheld, and unbridled Fury. "Do you want to show these fools why they don't mess with this family?"
Kuroka only smiles a smile she saves for battle were her teasing fun smile and side were locked away and her cold sadistic side came out. "Certainly Daios I would be delighted to end these miserable tiny existences."
"Perfect." Daios states before walking up to her and placing a hand over her heart in which a pure purple seal appears and over it a black one materializes out of thin air before both shatter releasing all of Kuroka's sealed powers.
"Go end them my Hellcat."
(Rias's home 6:15)
Both Rias's and Konekos eye flash open as they feels the release of an ungodly surge of demonic energy coming from the city before it disappears.
As they both look at one another from their separate bed, their eye widen in fear.
"Rias what was that?" Koneko asked in a terrified voice.
"I don't know, I truly don't know." Was Rias shocked reply her body slightly shaking.
(Back at the penthouse)
Kuroka eyes are closed as her body was wreathed with a mix of purple energy and pure black hell fire as she tried to reined in her unsealed powers. After the power is fully retrieved into her reserve which were still expanding. She opens her eyes to reveal her eyes shining slightly gold as she turns down the hallway the stray exorcists fled before slow walking her way to them.
"Well that's her true power makes their entire attack seem so pointless." Says Hunter.
"Yes it does and now due you see why when I first started when we first met don't mess with her. This was the reason she had this power unlocked just dormant until she got pissed before I sealed it." Daios replied as the sound of screams started to echo from the living area. "She show no mercy when cut loose. Anyways I think of transferring to kuoh academy and assisting with the protection of the territory and the strays without their knowledge. And if what I heard from Azazel is true. Then Kokabiel is about to make his move to restart the war."
"That would definitely be fun."Says Hunter with a smile.
"Of course you would find it fun battle maniac. Tho I don't know if I should just transfer to the area and stay away from the student body or if I should transfer in?" Daios replied with a thoughtful expression. 'But if I do transfer in there is that slim chance one of the devil already there will sense the sword.'
"Hey don't call me a battle maniac because no one is ever strong enough to last a little while as I go all out." Says as he rolls his eyes at being called a battle maniac.
"And that right there proves my point." Daios retorts as the screams died out and Kuroka walked back toward the two dragging a very helpless exorcist.
"Here Daios, nya, just like you wanted the leader now can you please seal me so it doesn't explode like last time nya" Kuroka states as she tosses the leader a middle age brown haired man at the feet of the other two devil which black chains quickly bind him to the floor before walking up to Daios.
"Perfect thank you my Hellcat go get some rest you too Hunter I will personally handle this." Daios replies as he reseals the nekoshou which causes her to slump into Daios arms before he lowers his gaze at the leader. "Now you are the leader of the stray exorcist that attacked us right. And I do hope you're being honest or this will get painful."
As the exorcist opens and closes his mouth, Hunter has returned to his room and the slightly unbalanced Kuroka has returned to Daios's room. "W...What right do you have to hold me stray devil." The man yells out in outrage.
"Your really are stupid, Have you ever heard of the 72 pillars right? Wait of course you have, Now know there are two heiress in this town and we are still here mean we aren't strays but one of the surviving pillar families. Know with that out of the way who are you working for?" Daios questioned the man.
"Why should I tell you devil?"
"Because I know you are a stray and I have quite a few connection and you won't be alive very long if you don't." Daios replied with a evil smirk. "Plus you tries to hurt not only my family but you tried to hurt my Queen you know the women that just killed your friends and I'm sure she and my rook Rina would have plenty of fun with you, so if you want to avoid tor- I mean 'fun' with my sadistic rook and the hellcat queen I suggest you spill right now."
At this the leader was deathly pale and was shivering in absolute terror. "Fine just please don't harm me, kokabiel he took my group in and brought us here, me and my group was the only survivors of a devil attack on our base."
"See was that so hard, now what is he planning?"
"I-I don't know but he had a few group steal some holy swords from the churches awhile back."The man replied rapidly.
"Well seeing as you answered my question you won't be meeting my rook. But you can't leave alive as you tried to kill us so I'm sending you to see one of my friend before he takes to Hades or Anubis either one I don't care bye bye." Daios stated as a black portal opened under the man before the chains dragged him into the abyss.
'So he took three Excalibur parts this should be interesting and that also means the the church will send someone to try and stop him. I might as well try to find these people before they get to Rias or Sona.' Daios though as he darked traveled to the roof of the building before sitting on the edge facing the local academy. "I will protect my family no matter what and seeing that the war monger of the fallen is probably trying to start another war well that is not going to end well. I just hope I don't have to unleash Ascension so soon and with all the other devils around it will be just like how my clan was whipped from the 73 pillar clans list and it's history burned, But I will return The house of Albatros to it's rightful place and with Sirzechs keeping us hidden and sponsored well I can repay that in helping his sister in this upcoming problem. It is the least I can do. Now time to get to patrolling and 'stumble' across the church agents.' Daios though as he stood back up before snapping his finger causing magic circle to appear above his head before descending causing his t-shirt and sleeping shorts to vanish and a priest cloak to appear around his neck and a hood to cover his head. Daios does a quick look over before disappearing into a black mist.
