Chapter Six: The Golden Songstress
The Devil's Flower
Everyone was speechless.
Standing before them, in the blood of her victims, was an incredibly young and beautiful woman.
She had long golden hair, not as golden as Mikhail's, that extends all the to her hips. Her bangs were neatly split and on the right side she had a braid. She had porcelain like skin and a buxom figure. Under her left eye was a mole. She wore armored thigh-high boots which were black with golden lines and decorations. The same goes to her arms that were also armored all the way to her shoulders. She wore golden paintes, leaving parts of her hips and thighs visible. She wore also a black top with and big v-cut that went all the way to her belly button. The lines of the v-cut were also golden. She held with both hands a lance, which was probably one of the exorcist's weapons.
"How are you alive….FIVE!" Mikhail pointed at the Intoner. His mind was indisarray. Why is Five alive, why is she not sealed away.
"Ara, ara how do know my name, darling?" She tilted her head hwile her eyes were glowing ruby-red.
Mikhail clenchedhis fists, his knuckles went white. How could he be so carless, his gaze wandered to Kiba, Issei, Koneko and Asia. None of them moved anymore. No breathing, they were all….
"Dead…." Rias stuttered while her face had lost all color, she took a step back. Her beautiful crimson hair shrouded her eyes. She bit her lower lip, till blood flowed from it. Tears started to fall from her cheeks.
"How….?" Akeno who looked with shocked eyes to her dead kouhais. She couldn't believe it. The Queen held both hands on her mouth.
"We~ell…" Five held the elbow of her right arm in her left palm "I thought I could play with them in bed, after I tried to immobilized them, they had become a little bit wild," She smiled at Rias "But it seems they were too fragile. What a waste." She circled her left hand and smiled pitiful at the bodies of the devils.
"You….BITCH!" Rias shouted while she surronded herself with an crimson aura. Her eyes were glittering in red "I will kill you! How dare you, how dare you….." She shouted in despair. Orbs of demonic energie were formed in her palms.
"Ha~n, it seems you are worth as my new night partner!" Five took a battle stance.
"How dare you, how dare you…ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" She screamed in despair, but she wasn't the only one who was enraged.
"You will pay," Akeno was now surrounded in light. Tendrils of yellow lighting circeled around her, than in one moment to another she was cladded in an miko attire, consisting of a white haori with red accents, a red hakama, and a pair of zōri with white tabi. "You will pay for this!" Yellow lighting flashed in her hands.
They prepared to attack the Intoner. Mikhail could feel that their auras were strong but unfortunately Five's was stronger.
"Rias, Akeno, stop!" Before he could run towards them someone gripped his arm. He looked over his shoulder and saw Accord. She looked agitated but tried to be calm.
"Accord, what are you doing!?"
"Mikhail, wait look at her!" She pointed at Five with her head "Doesn't look Five, different?"
"What?" The dragon turned around and analyzed Five more accurately. He couldn't hide is surprised. Her eyes, he could rembember, were golden. But now, they are red, precisely like his. Also the number of her forehead wasn't there anymore. She also smelled different. He could feel the Power of the Flower from her, but not as much as before, when she was killed by Zero. Sweat dropped from his cheek "What is going on here?"
"Ahaha, you scared?" Raynare, who was still constrained, looked at the dragon, with a triumphal and mocking smile "She is powerful, and she will kill all of you and then…."
And then "Punch" Accord's fist meets her face "Lights out! Crow Bitch" She adjusted her glasses and looked again at Mikhail "What should we do?"
" We need to take her out! I want to know how she survived!" Before he reacted, she was already attacked by the two she-devils.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Rias screamed. She was filled with anger and sadness. Two big crimson magic seal appeared on her sides. Demonic energy tried to find its way to the blonde woman.
"Crap, no!"
"Ha, to easy!" The Intoner could easily evade the attack. Rias' attacks were strong, but they lacked speed and were predictable, because she takes to much time for casting. Five blincked at Rias and licked her lips "What beautiful hair, what a soft-looking chest! Ha~n you will become mine little girl!" With incredible speed, she ran towards Rias.
"Not so fast, Lightning!" Akeno summoned and threw a big thunder at Five.
"BOOM" It stroke the Intoner. Because of the sheer power of that attack, the room was now filled with smoke.
"This…was..for….."
"STAB"
"Eh!?" Akeno couldn't comprehend what just happened, she saw that a lance pierced her chest and felt pain. Her heart was stabbed. At the other side of the lance, was Five who smiled at her gently "Ara, I should have say that, but if I want something, I will do everything to ha~ve it…"
"A-A-Akeno…..no…." Rias eyes widened, her face….no one could describe it now. It was too painful to look at it.
She turned her head to Rias, from her mouth flowed blood and she smiled at her King "R-Rias, I am sorry…" Her eyes darkened and she collapsed.
"Ha~n, what a waste..." She placed her foot on Akeno's chest "Such a rich chest…."
"A-Akeno…" Rias fell on her knees, more tears started to come out from her eyes.
The Intoner looked at the devil and smiled "Don't worry, you can cry on my…."
"KLANG!"
Before her hand could even touch Rias, she blocked a sword with her lance. Her gaze wandered towards the wielder of the sword.
"Ha~n, it seems I will have two new toys tonight."
"Five, how did you survive!?" Mikhail's eyes glowed also blood-red, he was now really angry.
"How..m~mh…huh!?" Before she answered her eyes were on that sword that her enemy held in his hand. She jumped backwards and looked at him. "Where have you that sword!? Answer me!"
But Mikhail ignored her question, he took a stance.
"That sword belongs only to the most beautiful, strongest and powerful woman. My sister Zero-onee-sama! Why do you wield it!?"
Mikhail ignored again the question and …..vanished."
"What!?" Five was caught in a surprise. "Where is he!?" She looked everywhere. Then…
"Boom" She was kicked at her face.
"Kyaah!" But she wasn't sent flying. Instead she was pushed several meters away, lines were created from the sheer physical power.
"Ugh, that hurts!" she held her face and looked straight to the enemy…"EH!?" Who was just before her.
With hundreds of punches, she received quite the beating.
"Guh! Ah! Kyah! Urg!"
One punch after another impact on her soft body. Mikhail was merciless, yet careful. If he uses his fangs, claws or elemental breaths, he could kill the Intoner easily. She was powerful, really powerful, but he was a dragon.
"Guh!" Five spit blood out when she received a punch in the stomach. Shortly Mikhail gripped her head, and smashed into the ground.
"GAH!"
He quickly activated his magic, a large white magic seal appeared and his eyes glowed.
Five opened her eyes, but when she felt the magic, her entire body trembled. That could kill her. She begged to her enemy "No, no, please!"
"Sleep tight!" Mikhail crushed the fist with the magic seal in her chest. Several white lightings flowed through Five's body.
"Ah, brrbrririr!"Her body spasmed "Ah..…" and she passed out.
Before Mikhails stood up he made sure, that she was really out of cold. He observed her for some seconds, controlled if she breathed normally and "Yep, she is gone, phew." Sighed and stood up from her.
"Mikhail, what did you do to her?" Accord who was behind him laid her hand on his shoulder.
"She is K.O. I made her pass out with dragon lighting, don't worry, she will wake up and she will answer."
Accord smiled but than her faceturned sad, "What about her?" She looked at Rias, who kneeled between her dead peerage. Her eyes were dark. She didn't even cry anymore. She was in a catatonic state.
"Hm." Mikhail ruffled his hair. He looked at Koneko's corpse and closed his eyes. "Koneko-chan….crap…." He shortly opened them. His face turned determined. "I want answers, now!"
Accord nodded. It seems she understood what he means.
Mikhail turned around and princess carried Five in his arms. Her head leaned against his chest.
"She smells nostalgic….." Mikhail's face became soft. It seems that Five was murmuring something.
"It's dark, help me…I don't want to die…Zero-onee-sama…so beautiful…"
He smiled. Five still loved and admired her, despite the hatred she received from Zero. But shortly she said something that surprised even Mikhail…
"Mikhail-chan, oh so beautiful…"
"Eh?"
"Mikhail-chan help us, please….. we are imprisoned, don't let us alone, help us….."
"Is she talking, about that time when I fought against the Flower….it can't be…" The Archdragon shook his head. Now it was not the time for nostalgia.
He walked with Accord towards Raynare who was still incapacitated and began to woke up from Accord's hit.
"Ah…shit my head…that bitch…" She opened her eyes and blinked several, and saw her enemies before here. On the arms of the male one was Five, her ace…and last hope, to survive."
"No, nooooooo!" She started to panic. Her last possibility to escape was now gone.
"Raynare we have much to talk." Said Mikhail, while he laid Five on a church seat and gently carressed her face. He turned around to the Fallen, which struggled, without any result. "Don't worry they will only disappear when I want it."
"Geh! Asshole!" She looked wrathfully at Mikhail and threw insults at him.
"Accord?"
"Yes?"
"Wake them up!" He pointed at the three fallen.
"But…"
"Raaaaaaaaaaaaagh!" He roared at her.
"Good." She walked towards them and "Smack, Punch, Kick!" Woke them softly up.
"Ouch, what the?"
"Ow!?"
"What, happened…?"
The three fallen looked around, only to see Mikhail standing before kneeling Raynare.
"Raynare!" Kalawarner shouted towards Raynare.
"Shut…up!" Immediately the three twitched and looked at fear to the humanoid dragon.
"Raynare, I want answers, now! Why was Five with you?"
But the Fallen looked away with a pissed face…."
"Ah, good…" Mikhail snipped his fingers. Her head was forecefully bent towards his direction.
"Ow, you bastard…gugh!"
"Answer me!"
"Guh,ow!"
"ANSWER!" His eyes began to glow red.
"Okay, okay!"
Mikhail sighed.
"She was sent to us by….. Azazel-sama…."
"Wait did she just said Azazel, the little horny brat with a wild imagination?"
"He is our governor!"
Mikhail growled annoyingly.
".….She was sent to us by him, we should work with her, because she lost her memories…."
"Say what?"
"Azazel-sama took care of her. She was in dangerous state, she had heavy burn wounds. He said that she was on the verge of dying.
"When did she show up?"
"Two months ago…"
"That was when Red told me about it…." Thought Mikhail. He nodded as a signal to continue.
She continued "On the beginning she was quiet and docile…"
"Okay, that is very unlikely for her…"
"But when she saw us killing ….she began to change….."
The Flower in her must have reacted to bloodshed….he looked at the Fallen "And then?"
"She asked for sex partners, but only strong ones. She killed anybody from us who wanted to sleep with her…but every time she beat someone she started to say the same thing"
"That is….?"
"You will be never like Zero-onee-sama or Mikhail-chan…."
Accord and Mikhail looked at each other an blinked. She didn't lie, Mikhail felt it.
"Is that all?"
"Yes!" She hissed.
She said the truth again.
"Then one thing," Mikhail breathed in "Did Azazel gave you the order to kill Issei and take Asia's power?"
The Fallen frowned. She wanted to look away, but couldn't.
"I. Am. Waiting." He stomped on the ground and cracks built around the area.
"Fine! Azazel-sama only gave us the task to observe Issei and protect Asia."
"Then why did you try to kill them."
"Kokabiel-sama…."
"Wait, Kokabiel!? Are you kidding me! Why didn't Azazel kill that guy!?"
"He is one of the leaders of Grigori, he gave us the orde to kill Issei and take Asia's Sacred Gear."
Mikhail closed his eyes "Kokabiel….!"
"HIIII!" 4x
All the four Fallen twitched from the immense killing intent that Mikhail leaked. One of them almost pissed himself.
"Mikhail?" Accord took a step to her partner.
"I'm okay…." He faced the Fallen again.
"N-now can I go!"
"No…." He said it flatly.
"But I said everything I know!?"
Mikhail shook his head, what a selfish and egoistic woman. He opened his palm which started to glow white. The silver rings on her fingers began to glow and react to him.
"HEY, what are you doing?" She shouted at the dragon.
"Take something, that doesn't belong to you."
"How dare you, these are mine!"
The Sacred Gear came off from her fingers and slowly floated towards Mikhail's hand.
"Beautiful." He could feel pure love from it. "It can heal every species…." He turned to Accord who understand his intent and took the rings from him.
"Give them….gbuh!" She was punched by Mikhail.
Seeing this also scared the other Fallen more.
"Now let me teach you, Raynare!" Before everyone could blink, he stood behind Raynare and grabbed her black wings.
"Wait, what are you doing!? No!"
"This is your punishment!" He began to tore her wings out from her back.
"No!" From her eyes flowed tears out "Stop it, it, it hurts!" She bit in pain in her lips, causing them to bleed. "Please I do everything, but don't take my wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiings!"
Mittelt, Kalawarner and Dohnaseek looked at the gruesome spectacle with horrified faces. They only could await the terrifying sound of flesh tearing, with fear.
"Now, accept it!"
"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
"RATSCH"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Both wings came off. Mikhail held them high. Then he deactivated the spell causing Raynare to fell on the ground. Blood splashed out. Itflowed down her back while the stumps twitched. Her eyes showed no emotions and in the corner of her eyes were tears. She passed out. It seems she also threw up…..
But that was only the beginning of the horror what the Fallen will see. Mikhail still holding the wings looked at them. "At least I can gain some power with them…" He lowered them and opened his mouth…..
"Crunch"
"Hey, what is he doing?" Asked Mittelt with wide eyes.
"Crunch, Splatter"
"H-he is…" Dohnaseek uttered in disbelief.
"I-is eating her w-wings." Ended Kalawarner, sweat dropped from her forehead.
"Crunch, splatter" Various juicy and fleshy voice could be heard. Mikhail devoured Raynare's wing with immense appetite and speed.
"No, nooooooooooooooo!" Then Mittelt began to panic. "I want to go home, I want to go in my bed and sleep, please say this is nightmare, please help me!"
"No, no, no, no!" Kalawarner began to cry, she tried himself to break out.
"Ugh…guuuuuuuuuh." Dohnaseek gave every hope up and hammered his head on the ground, he wanted to pray, but to whom?
Accord looked at everything with mixed feeling. Mikhail was brutal and merciless, nothing new. Holy Dragons always defied angels and gods. It's their nature. They are born god and demon killer. Of course, Raynare deserved a punishment, but the way Mikhail is performing it onher….was gruesome.
"Crunch." Now Mikhail finished the last bit of Raynare's wing and looked at the Fallen while swallowing.
"Nooooooooooooooooooo!" Mittelt violently struggled, causing the others to panic.
He gripped Raynares head and dragged her towards them.
"Please, no, I do everything!" Mittelt shook her head and cried from fear. "I will never do anything, wrong, please, please!"
"Slash"
"Eh?" 3x
Mikhail cut the rope and freed the Fallen. He faced them with his red eyes, blood covered his entire mouth "Never come back here.., this message is also for your leaders…."
"…..." The three were paralyzed.
"Did you understand?" He also let an inhuman growl out.
The three nodded.
"Good, but if I see you or other Fallen in this Town, you will end like her!" He threw Raynare before them.
"Hiii!" 3x
"Now go and take her with you!"
"…" They still looked at him….
"GO!" His bloodshot eyes literally pierced through their souls and his voice shattered them.
Immediately the three shook up took Raynare and flew away, not making one gaze back.
"First thing done…"
"Why didn't you kill them?"
Mikhail didn't move, he just looked over his shoulder "They can change, the others not…." He shrugged. "Well sometime, I don't even understand myself.
Hearing this caused Accord to smile. She closed her eyes "Maybe he is just more of an adult than I thought." She opened her eyes and looked at Rias, who didn't even move one bit, the entire time. "Her?"
"I will take care of her…" He took the silver rings from Accord back and made his way towards the crying devil.
While walking he saw the corpses of the ORC-members. Poor things….At least Asia died before Five could play with her. But that wasn't really something…never mind….
He arrived and stood before Rias, who noticed him and look to him up.
"M….ikhail…?"
"Gremory-senpai…."
Tears flowed from her eyes "It was my fault…why didn't I do anything, why did it happen!" She began to cry and held her face. "Uwaaaaaaaah!"
Mikhail closed his eyes. It was painful to see a young girl in such situation. Regardless, how many time he saw it, his long life.
"If I had done something, if I had called my brother..if…if…."
"No, it's my fault…" He clenched his fist.
"He….?" She looked at him.
Then…She was hugged by Mikhail.
"Eh?" She could feel Mikhail's warmth, his soft body. His scent, he smelled like flowers. She could feel….light. Was this Koneko talked about?
"I'm so sorry!" He tightened his hug…"So sorry…"
"U..waaaaaaaahhh!" She hugged him back. More and more tears flowed from her cheeks.
"But it's okay…" His voice was gentle. Rias didn't ever head such a soft voice. Mikhail loose the hug a little bit, he could see her face. It was red from crying.
"Huh?" She blinked.
"It's okay…." He touched his forehead with hers, causing Rias to blush.
"Why…why?"
"I will take care of it…" He smiled at her and then….he kissed her forehead. She could feel his soft and warm lips on her skin.
"!?"
"I want you to smile, the smile you always have. I like your beautiful face more with that smile…" He stood up and gave her the rings. Then he walked towards the bodies of her peerage."
"No..no..please don't go…." Rias felt again lonely, she didn't want Mikhail to go.
"Don't worry…." He looked at her and smiled.
Then he began to sing.
"Behold the true fifth song: Grand Light of Antiquity! The golden radiance of love and life! Reaper's Bane and thorn on his side!" He was surrounded by golden light and wings made from petal flowers which appeared behind his back.
"W..What is he doing…." She blinked. She never see such a thing. Was it magic, or Senjutsu, but why felt she such ….She couldn't describe it.
Mikhail continued to chant "I command thee in my name, gave those children a new life, a new chance! Verse Six, Song of Love and Life, Resurrection!"
Immediately the Petal Wings scattered and the floated towards the bodies of the devil. The corpses began to shine in the same golden light and the light exploded.
Rias closed her eyes and after seconds she opened them. Mikhail stood before her and petted her head "Enjoy your second chance, Rias…." Then he walked away….
"Wait….!" Before she could turn around she heard a voice….
"Bu..chou…?" Issei slowly raised his upper body.
"W-what!?" Rias couldn't comprehend what just happened.
"Rias…?" Akeno opened her eyes.
"Buchou…" 2x
Koneko and Kiba also slowly woke up.
"…G-guys!?" She was speechless. "How…?" They were dead, killed by this person called Five. "Mi…" But Mikhail was gone. Also Accord and Five…. "khail…"
"Buchou? What happened!?"
"You are…alive! Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" She began to cry and hugged her peerage.
XXX
Uthaime Appartment
Mikhail and Accord stood beside Five who laid in a bed and looked really peacefull.
"Was this really the right thing, Mikhail?"
"Do mean, bring them back to life?"
Accord nodded.
"Don't think about it. They will live a happy life."
"But…"
"No worries, they will also not end up like Two's soldiers."
"Then good."
"What makes me worry, is how Zero's sister is alive and in this world?"
"Well, Accord I don't know but…."
"But?"
"Let me look at her."
"Kun, kun…" Mikhail smelled at Five.
"And?"
"She smells the same when I met her the first time, but the scent of the flower is…"
"Almost gone?"
"No."
"What then?"
"Let me look…." He opened his palm and a white seal appeared. He moved it from head to toe.
When he stopped, Mikhail's was surprised "It can't be…..You gotta' be kidding…. "
"What, what is it?"
"Her powers are sealed away, in her…"
"What!?"
"Her powers…."
"I understood it! But how…"
"Because of me….."
"You?"
"I can feel my power in her…..."
"!?"
"It seems that when the Black Flower accepted me as new host and gave me its powers, she also received in that moment when I destroyed also some of mine.
"Then because of this, she…"
"The power that she absorbed is small, but enough to supress the fragment of the Flower. It has also a link with me…."
"And because of this…"
"It seems, when my powers grew, the power in her that was linked with me grew also."
"And when you had the power to go through dimensions…"
"She also could do it, but without knowing it…."
Then suddenly Five opened her eyes.
"Shit!" Accord drew her pistol out, but it was caught by Mikhail…
"What are you…"
Five raised her upper body and looked around "Where…am I?" She looked at Accord and then Mikhail….."Mi…." She stuttered.
"Mi..?" 2x
"Mikhail-chan!" Then she hugged the dragon.
"Eh!?" 2x
"You really are it! Ha~n!"
The Devil's Flower
After that everybody calmed down. Ten minutes have passed then Five finally let Mikhail go…
"Five, first of all, is that really you?"
"Of course you dummy! How many of me are here no~ow?"
No doubt, she is the real Five…
"Five, what do you know, what happened?"
Five's smile faded and she looked at her palms. "I only know, no, the only thing I can remember is when I was in the Black Flower….with my sisters…."
"I know that…" Mikhail looked away. It was not a really good memory. The memory was...no...
"We were still conscious in that...that monster..." She held her hands together and pressed them firmly on her chest.
"I-I understand."
"We tried to fight the malice and wrath…but…it forced us to attack you, to kill you…."
"You, you saw me?"
"Yes…." She looked at Mikhail and smiled "Your light was the only thing that kept us from the darkness in that thing."
"It forced you to sing?"
"Yes, every time we sung every time you were almost touched by our song we cursed ourselves."
"What happened after I…you know…"
"The darkness disappeared….we felt light and warmth…..but you were gone…."
"I see…." Mikhail looked down.
"Then the whispers, the wrath and malice also disappeared." She gripped Mikhail's hand "When I saw what you have done, when I remembered the things I had done, I…am sorry, so sorry…" She began to cry.
"It seems, she finally snapped out of it….." Thought Accord.
"What have I done!? What have I become!?" She clenched the other hand "The things I did to others, so much death! It was like bad dream…" She almost tore her hair out
"It's okay…"
"Huh!?"
"What you did was not partially your fault, the Flower corrupted you, when you fought the guardians of the Mercury Gate."
"But I …"
"It's okay…."
Five bit her lips, she really regret everything….Mikhail could feel it. When she was born, through the Flower, she was still innocent, in a way…. But when she was resurrected from the Black Flower, she was slowly corrupted by it. The girls never stood a chance….
She looked at Mikhail, her eyes were still ruby-red "Thank you!" She leaned against Mikhail's chest." And sobbed.
"It's okay, don't sweat it!" He carefully petted her head "But Five…"
"Y-yes?"
"Please, stop groping me….."
"Whoops….!"
"Then second what do you know, about Azazel?"
"A-Azazel, I don't know, when I arrived here, he helped me…but when I saw that girl Raynare and Freed kill somebody, I-I don't know anything….anymore….. He also told me about you..."Mikhail ignored the glare from Accord.
"Then do you know that you killed four innocent people!" Accord asked with an angry voice."
"Accord!"
"W-what!? I did what!"
"You killed…..
"You killed them almost…"
Accord glared at Mikhail, who also glared back.
"No, no." She held her head "I must, I must…"
"Rest…"
"Mikhail!"
"Enough!" He stood up and glared at Accord "She tells the truth!"
"But…" She bit her lip and looked away.
"…"
"Good." Accord sighed.
"Mikhail-chan, but….!"
"They are alright, Five….."
"But…!"
"Five, what about the other Intoners?"
The one million dollar question….
Immediately Five froze "I…I don't know, all I know that was the only one here…but…ugh!" Suddenly an extreme pain scourged through her head. She held it from agony."
"You're okay?" Mikhail laid his hand on her back.
"Yeah, thank you."
"You should sleep, don't worry I will be with you and speak with you."
"Ara, does that mean we will have some pillow talk?" She smiled at him and made some space in the bed.
Accord could only facepalm.
The Devil's Flower
The next day.
"Sigh!" Mikhail was on the way to school. That morning was really crazy. Five didn't even let him sleep in piece. He needed to protect himself the entire night. But he was surprised that she behaved gentler than before. "Well Five isn't Five if she had such a personality. Aside eating so much at the breakfast and trying to seduce him and grabbing him in various places, she was really a good girl, for now. But he was still wary.
The Devil's Flower
Utahime Apartment, Mikhail's room.
Five was currently on Mikhail's bed and started to hump his pillow.
"Ha~n! Mikhail-chan!"
The Devil's Flower
Kuoh Academy, Main Gate
"Finally here!" Well it was a bitter-sweet moment. He had some piece, from Five for now, even Accord took free from school, to gain more information. But what should he do about Rias and her peerage. You don't see someone everyday who can bring back the dead to the living.
"Ah, no pain no game!"
The Devil's Flower
It was finally break, finally!
Mikhail laid his head on his desk. "At least no one observed me…" He took a bag out "Ah, finally, my selfmade chocolate cake!" Before he could take it out, he heard a voice.
"Excuse me is Utahime Mikhail-kun here?"
Well shit…
Before Mikhail could react, a female figure made his way towards his seat.
"Good day, Utahime." He was greeted by Shinra Tsubaki, the Vice-President of Kuoh Academy's Student Council the fourth most popular girl in the Academy. Tsubaki was a young bespectacled woman with long straight black hair that extends all the way down to her knees with split bangs. She had heterochromic eyes. Her left eye was violet and her right eye was light brown. Mikhail was fascinated with them.
Because of her contact with him he also received again more death glares.
"Ehm, good day, Shinra-senpai…" He smiled wryly "W-what can I do for you?"
"The Student Council President wants to see." Then the always cool looking girl smiled a little bit.
"Crap. Help me Zero!"
The Devil's Flower
"Well, my greatest problem this morning was how I can come to school, without being violated by Five, but now…." He was now escorted (dragged) by Tsubaki to the Student Council Room.
"We are here, Utahime-kun." She showed at the big and decorticated wooden door.
"You can call me Mikhail, Shinra-senpai!" He chirped
"So, than you can call me also Tsubaki." She smiled at him.
"YEEEEEES!" His usual child-like attitude showed again.
Tsubaki knocked at the door and opened the door. "Kaichou, I brought Mikhail-kun here."
"Good work, Tsubaki." A calm but strict voice could be heard.
When Mikhail entered the room he was observed by seven pair of eyes, plus the ones of Tsubaki.
On the boss table sat Sona Shitori, the Student Council President.
"Welcome Mikhail-kun to the Student Council Room." She had an observing gaze in her eyes. Mikhail was a little bit nervous. "Don't worry, you didn't do anything wrong.
"O-okay…"
"You already know me and you also know what we are?"
Mikhail nodded.
"Good, then let me introduce myself." On her and the other members back appeared wings "My true name is Sona Sitri, from the 72 pillars. I am the daughter and heir of the Sitri clan, currently under the name of Sona Shitori, third year it's been a pleasure to meet you.
"Thank you for your hospitality Sitri-senpai!" Mikhail bowed.
"You can call me Sona." She slightly smiled at him.
"Good, Sona-senpai."
"Mhm," She cleared her throat "Kaichou."
"Good!"
Mikhail looked at the black-haired devil. Sona was also a bespectacled woman and the same age as Rias and Akeno. She had a slim figure, black hair styled in a short bob cut and violet eyes. She was also the third most popular girl in Kuoh Academy. Sona reminded him also a little bit on One. Always strict, calm and goal-oriented. Despite being an enemy, he always admired the Intoner. He was also jealous of her relationship with her dragon, Gabriella.
Beside Sona and Tsubaki were also the other members of the Student Council Body.
"You also already know Tsubaki."
Tsubaki bowed "Let me also introduce myself again, I'm Shinra Tsubaki, 3rd year and a peerage member of Sona-Kaichou…"
"And her Queen, right?"
"!" Tsubaki's eyes widened.
"Impressive. Rias told me already that you can tell which position the peerage members have."
Then to the next one.
"My name is Yura Tsubasa, 3rd year, nice to meet you, Mikhails-san!" She was a tall girl with blue, shoulder-length hair and matching eyes. She has the basic appearance of a tomboy.
"Nice to meet you, too…ehm…Pawn." Mikhail pointed at the girl.
"Right." Said Sona impressed.
Then there was Nimura Ruruko. "Hello my name is Nimura Ruruko, I am a 1st year student, nice to meet you Mikhail-senpai!" She was short girl with brown hair in long twin ponytails and green eyes. On her hair was a pair of green clips. She also wore striped green stockings.
"Hello to you, too Ruruko. You are a Pawn, right?"
"Bingo, Senpai!" She smiled at him.
Now Kusaka Reya."Good day Mikhail-kun my name is Reya Kusaka, I'm a like you a 2nd year student. Please take care of me" Then she bowed. She was a slim girl with long brown hair with two short braids and brown eyes. She also wore a blue headband. She looked gentle at him.
"Ah, also take care of me, Reya-san." He observed her "…You are a Bishop!"
"Oh! Correct, not bad!"
"Ehehe, thank you!"
After her introduction, Hanakai Momo took a step forward. "Finally we meet Mikhails-san my name is Hanakai Momo, I am a 2nd year. We finally met. She smiled at him. Momo was a beautiful girl with white hair that was slightly frilly and blue-green eyes. Her hair reminded him a little bit on Zero.
"Likewise, Momo-san! You are also a bishop!"
"Oh, my right!" She held her hand before her mouth.
The next one was familiar.
Then "Ah Tomoe-chan!" Mikhail yelled towards the girl with shoulder-length, reddish-brown hair and brown eyes. Her hair features swept bangs and a single strand of hair sticking out from the top.
"Hi, hi Mikhail-chan!" She winked at him.
Wait, Mikhail-chan? When others heard that, they were slightly dumbfounded.
"Tomoe you already know Mikhail-kun?" Sona asked her Knight.
"Of course! Mikhail-chan and I hang out sometimes!" She said it in cheerfully tone. Well she was a girl with many energy and her and Mikhail's personality are similar.
"Oh, so you are dating?" It was Tsubasa who asked.
"Guh, damn handsome!" Mikhail turned around and saw the only boy in the Student Council Body. Genshirou Saji was a young man with short blonde hair and grey eyes.
"Well, he rejected me." She said it with a straight smile on her face.
"Eh!?" Everyone looked at the girl.
"But don't worry we are friends forever!"
"UI, friends forever!" Both highfived.
"I-I understand…" Sona still looked cool and leaned forward while folding her hands "It's good that you and my peerage are getting along."
"Mikhail-chan is also a good cook!"
"Really?" Ruruko asked, curious.
"YES! The other day he brought me Tiramisu, and it was good! The cooking club is still trying to recruit him!"
"Wow." It was Momo who held her head with her left hand.
"Mi-chan is also a very good singer!"
"Seriously that guy?" Saji asked with disbelief.
"Hn! When he sang for me, I cried for an hour because it was so beautiful!" She held both hands on her cheeks.
Everyone sweatdropped.
"Tomoe-chan you are a Knight, right?"
"Wow, you're good!"
The blonde boy stepped forward "Then it's my turn, my name is Genshirou Saji, 2nd year!"
"Pawn." He pointed at the boy.
"Na? I'm not just a pawn. When I was resurrected I took four evil pieces in the process!"
"But Issei has eight in him…"
"What!?"
"Cough!" Well back to the topic." It was Sona "I'm impressed that you could guess all the positions of my peerage.
"Thank you"
The Devil's Flower
After a minute Sona continued to ask Mikhail.
"Mikhail-kun you know why I called you here?"
"Because of the incident yesterday?"
Sona nodded. "Also Rias told me a lot from you."
"Okay…"
"Don't worry, she didn't tell me bad things."
"Ah." Mikhail sighed in relief.
"But Akeno also told me, that you are a little….devious….. devil…"
"Wah!" This caused several members to giggle, mostly the females.
"But allow me, to tell you something, first."
"Mh?" Mikhail titled his.
Sona walked towards him and bowed "I thank you in the name of the Student Council and my name for saving Rias and her peerage." Then the others bowed also. Even Saji!
"Ehm, don't worry…I did what I could…." He held his hand before him.
"Well you didn't just help us with the Fallen problem. Rias told me too, that you protected her and her peerage, before they were in danger.
"Wait, what!" Mikhail thought just about that, why did Rias said that? She knew that her peerage was dead. Wait did she said that, because Sona shouldn't her about his ability? Ah typical for that girl. Or she was so confused and distraught that she thought they were still alive….
"And there is also something..." Again Sona, only Sona bowed. "I am sorry that you were caught up in our mess."
"Wait, wait please raise your head!"
Then Sona raised it and looked at Mikhail with worried eyes.
"Why do you apologize, nothing happened, right?"
"But you were in danger…" Her eyes narrowed.
"Eh?" Now he couldn't understand anything, why was she so…..
"Mikhail you helped us a lot and I want to help you."
"Why?"
"Because I don't want you to die because of our problems." She looked with worried face at the dragon. Mikhail could tell that she was full of regret. "The Fallen were our responsibility, we were too much careless with that situation."
He also could not believe what he just heard. The holy dragon could only do one thing.
"Hahahah!"
"Eh?"
When Saji saw this, his mind gone blank because of anger "You bastard, you dare to laugh at our Kaichou!"
"Saji!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
Then everyone faced to Mikhail, who calmed down "I'm sorry, I didn't laugh about you…," He wiped a tear from his eye, and then he looked determined at Sona.
Because of that she raised her eyebrow.
"I like you!" He said it out, straight to her face while bending his upper body forward.
"Wh-what?" Sona was agitated, like her entire peerage.
"Oh my! Mikhail just confessed to Kaichou!" Said Ruruko with excitement.
"Way to go, Mikhaill-chan!" Chirped Tomoe.
"Silence!" Sona raised her voice, her cheeks were flushed. She faced Mikhail who smiled at her.
"No, Kaichou!" Thought Saji.
"W-what do mean with that, Mikhail-kun?" It was a little bit uncomfortable for her. Mikhail tried to lose the mood a bit.
"Well, you're different from Gremory-senpai…"
"Eh?"
"Don't get me wrong, Gremory-senpai is good girl, really, but you, you have a better character than her!"
"T-thank you, I appreciate it." That was the first time that somebody said, that she was better than Rias."And how deserve I such a compliment?" Sona didn't want to admit it, but she was really embarrassed and curious.
"Well, mmh.." He held his chin "For starters you thanked me and even apologized to me and said that you don't want me to die…"
Sona sighed, she knew what Rias first did"Let me guess, she wanted information and asked you to join her peerage before she knew that you be friend or enemy."
"Bing Bong!"
"Ah, Rias, sometimes…." Sona massaged her temples. Her eyes rose up "Mikhail-kun is it okay to ask some question about yesterday?"
"Sure!" He answered cheerfully "But…."
"You answer only questions, if it in your power?…." Tsubaki ended his sentence.
"She told you, doesn't she?"
Sona nodded and smiled lightly to him "And I am also impressed that you made a fool out of her."
"The way you said it, Sona-Kaichou ….." Momo said it while smiling wryly.
"Ah I get it!" Mikhail hammered his fist into his palm "You and Gremory-senpai are friends?"
Sona's smile vanished, now she glared at him. Her peerage twitched from shock. But the dragon just smiled "So best friends! I understand!"
"You…!" Sona facepalmed "Rias told me, that he is really evil, but I didn't thought he is a freaking sadist like Akeno!" She looked at him with narrowed eyes.
"Mnh?" He tilted his head adorably.
"Yep, he is a monster! I must be careful, or I will end up as his next victim" The King sighed "Now then let us begin..."
"Mnh!" He nodded.
"So, is it true that you beat four fallen angel?"
Then the atmosphere in the room became heavy. Everyone looked at Mikhail.
"Well, yes."
Everyone's eyes were wide open. They didn't think that Mikhail was capable of that.
"And you also killed most of the rouge exorcist in that church."
"Yes." Now Sona and Tsubaki were clairaudient.
Especially Sona "It seems that he is really strong, no wonder that Rias tried to hide him."
Then Tsubaki spoke up "Mikhail-kun is it also true that you killed Freed Selizen?"
Everyone's attention was now at the Archdragon, first because they heard from Freed. He was a crazy bastard, who killed many, but a really talented one. Even middle or high-class devils would have problems with him. The peerage looked at him with awe. Freed was only excommunicated because he started to kill innocent people, too.
"I think he lies!" Saji spoke up. "No one could do that especially a human."
Mikhail sighed and turned around "Than how many devils were killed by Freed, despite being him a human?"
"Ugh." Well it was a good argument.
"Touché." Said Sona and smiled slightly. Everyone looked now at her, but she tried to hide her smile and began to ask another question "Why?" A good question, she expected Mikhail to frown, but…
"Did Gremory-senpai tell you about my ability to feel emotions?"
That was a surprise.
"So she didn't…."
"I can also feel the future in a person…."
Now Sona frowned "What does that mean, Mikhail-kun?"
"It means, I sense if somebody can change or not and that guy Freed and the other exorcists, they couldn't be saved…." He looked sad at the ground.
The entire peerage looked at each other
"I don't understand…"
Mikhail faced with a tormented face Tsubaki and Sona "I hate killing…"
Hearing this caused both to raise their eyebrows.
"But I am not naïve enough, to let somebody go, who would continue to kill innocent." His face now had become serious. "So one question Sona-Kaichou, how many innocent did he or the others kill?"
Facing such a question made Sona confused "I don't…., I heard that they killed many humans…"
"Also many good devils….."
"Eh?" Now everyone looked at him.
"Good devils, good persons like you, Kaichou or Gremory-senpai and all of your peerage." He stood up and walked towards the window. "I learned young that I hate killing…" He closed his eyes and remembered various things. His first time killing, the death of the first sister…..
"Mikhail-chan…" Tomoe looked at her friend.
Then he turned around to face the entire peerage "You can't save the world with wrath and malice and destruction nor you can save it with tenderness and care, but you can save as many, regardless their race, their belief or whatever…"
All of them looked to him especially Sona and Tsubaki were astonished, they would never think that he is such a person.
"He is more mature than I thought…."
"…and I will do anything to save as many as I can, even if I do the thing I hate the most and even if I being hated." He looked at the devils with determined eyes and sat back on the chair.
"That is really mature but painful attitude towards life, Mikhail-kun."
"I know Kaichou, but sometimes things happen that should never mean to happen and sometimes you have to do thing, that you never want to do…Regardless what you will lose and gain…in the end you will lose everything when you die and that helps no one….. "He shrugged.
When the devils heard that, their faces paled.
"What past does he have?" Thought Sona.
"Now you thought, what life I had, don't you?"
"Eh, how do you know?"
"This life, my life was given to me, from my most beloved person…" The heavy atmosphere suddenly vanished, when Mikhail smiled and tell them a little bit from Zero. "Well enough with this sad talk!" He clapped with his hands, what happened just happened. I needed to protect someone, so I did it…!"
"Then I need to thank you again, for taking care of Freed." She bowed again. "Many devils will appreciate it, especially the families of the victims."
"No problem!"
When she raised her head, her devil business attitude showed up "Rias told me also you have a Sacred Gear in you is that right?"
"Eh, Sacred what?"
Sona's eyes widened in disbelief "It seems that she really didn't tell you everything…"
"It seems so…" He smiled wryly and raise both palms.
Sona sighed "Again excuse me for her behavior, sometime she is really…."
"Greedy?"
The Sitri heir nodded.
"Then carry on with your explanation, sensei!"
She twitched her eye, some of her peerage giggled "Yes," Sona sat on her chair and put her hands together while leaning forwards, with her Kaichou-stare "Sacred Gears also known as God's Artifacts, are items with powerful abilities bestowed upon humans by the original God from the Bible. The God of the Bible created the Sacred Gears as part of His system to enact miracles on Earth. It has been stated that certain individuals with Sacred Gears have grown to become very powerful and influential and that a large number of the people who have had their names etched into history, were most likely Sacred Gear possessors."
By hearing this, Mikhail could only faceplam "Seriously, that idiot made such things for mortal races, are you kidding me!?" Mikhail could only curse that god for such and idiot. "Doing such a thing only to be worshipped…."
"Mikhail-kun are you alright? You look upset."
"No, no Kaichou!" He waved with his hands.
"Hm, it seems, I said something he didn't like, let's just see…"
"Ehm, does this mean Issei's gauntlet and Kiba's swords are also Sacred Gear?"
Sona nodded.
Then Mikhail looked at Tsubaki, who tilted her head "Can I help you, Mikhail-kun?"
"You have also such an artifact, don't you?"
Immediately she and her King rose up and startled Mikhail.
"Mikhail-kun you can feel Sacred Gears!" Sona was now definitely interested.
"Yes," He pointed at Saji "He has also one….."
"Eh?" Saji was dumbfounded.
"I can also feel them, before they already awake….." Whoops he shouldn't have said
"Interesting…" Sona narrowed her eyes, again.
"Ruruoko-chan, too!"
"Eh!?" The girl with the gasped.
"Mi-chan why did you call her with -chan?" Tomoe pouted
"Because she wanted it?"
Everybody looked at the girl, who panicked.
"When did she said that, you met her the first time?"
"Because Tomoe-chan, I can also read the mimic and the body language, she was disappointed when I was formal with her..."
Again the devils looked at the youngest girl.
She raised her hand and smiled slightly weird "He his right..." Her face was slightly red.
"Interesting, magic, high physical power, powerful weapons and the skills for them and also good observation skills. He would be a excellent choice for a knight piece." Sona looked at Mikhail.
But instead having eye contact, Mikhail looked again at Saji, his Sacred Gear was much interesting. Because he felt something familiar.
When the holy dragon could tell it…."Vri…!" He shut himself up…
But Sona was not dumb "Did he just almost said Vritra!" Before she could say anything, Saji interrupted.
"That's right. I have Dragon Sacred Gear, look!" Immediately A figure that resembles a small lizard with a deformed face appeared on his hand. "Look at with awe, handsome!"
But Mikhail didn't look instead they saw him holding his head and murmur something "My proud race, reduced to such a thing, awww how did that happened!
"Ehm you are okay, buddy?" Saji asked with worry.
The humanoid dragon raised his head "I am peachy, thanks…."
"Are you really alright?" Reya asked him with worried gaze and laid her hand on his shoulder.
"Yeah, don't worry…"
"Saji!" Sona said his name with angry voice.
"Yes, Kaichou!" The blonde was now afraid "I'm sorry for the interruption."
Sona faced Mikhail again "So, if it's possible can you show me your Sacred Gear?"
"Ehm, sure but it's not a Sacred Gear….." He looked down on his chest, causing the other to do as well.
Suddenly a sword grip emerged from Mikhail's chest.
"What the…!" Saji and the others were startled, even Tsubaki but not Sona.
"And out with it!" Mikhail gripped the sword and pulled it out, while black flower petal appeared from the sword, when it emerged. "That's my sword."
But the devils reacted suddenly, a little bit afraid…
"Guys you're okay?"
Sona coughed and tried to hold her composure. But what she felt made her uneasy, no made her afraid "What is that! It's overflowing with power! And not that, it makes me shiver, is that possibly a holy sword? But why do I feel demonic energy from it, too?"
"Ehm, should I put it away, it seems that it makes you uncomfortable…" It had been a long time since the sword is screaching Most likely, because of the many devils.
Sona calmed herself. She could feel it, that sword literally yearned for her and her peerage's blood…Something in her, no her instincts are screaming from fear.
"Mikhail-kun, is that a holy sword?"
"No…" It makes sense, no holy sword would react so violently.
"Then what is it…I can feel holy power from it but also demonic…." That caused the others to feel more uncomfortable than ever, but Saji acted different…
"Kaichou, uhm….."
The black haired devil looked with a fierce gaze. "What is it, Saji?"
"Uhm, my Sacred Gear is reacting to him and his sword…it is...how do I say it, happy..."
"What!" Sona's eyes widened and she looked at Mikhail, who realized his mistake "Could you explain it, Mikhail-kun?" The situation had become volatile.
"Eh?"
The King raised an eyebrow. Her peerage looked and waited with bated breath at the Holy Dragon.
"I'm waiting…"
"Oh man she can do more pressure than I thought…a good lie is needed" he sighed "Good, maybe due the fact that that my sword was made from dragon bones…." At least he could hope to trade some information. "Good thing I always thought about such things….."
"Again, what!" Sona stood up from her chair and hammered both hands on her desk. This almost caused Mikhail to fell from the chair. It also frightened her peerage a little bit. "Dragon Bones! How….Did you possibly kill a dragon?"
"Wait, no, I didn't own it the entire time!"
"Then who was the previous wielder…"
"The person who raised me..." Mikhail's face turned sad. Sona understood it.
It seems the previous owner died and Mikhail took it over…" She sat back to her chair and asked him "Then who was the one who wielded it before, what person was she…."
"The coolest and strongest person I ever met…" Mikhail slowly caressed the sword and a nostalgic smile appeared on his face. "She was….I'm sorry….I think cannot say any more."
Seeing him in such a state, made Sona curious more than ever, but for his sake she stopped asking.
"Then can I ask you something?"
"Don't worry, I will never use it one you. You don't need to fear me." He smiled at her and the Zero's Sword vanished in rose colored petals.
"Wow!" Saji was impressed.
"Then I take that as a promise."
"Promise!" He raised his thump.
"Then another question?"
"Mnh?"
"Rias told me about this Flower…what is it?"
"She told you, what I said?" Sona's and Mikhail's eyes were looked on, on each other for several seconds.
"Yes, you said that it is a nightmare and a curse."
"Mn, a curse."
"Rias told me also, that is maybe a weapon…"
"No worries, but can I ask you something, Kaichou?"
Sona looked at him and tilted her head "Sure, I already asked you plenty."
"Never fight, touch or deal with the Flower, did you understand…." His gaze was now serious she was surprised that he could look like that. "But if you hear or see something about it, tell me please, I also don't want you and your peerage to die…"
"But I don't know anything about it nor….."
"Promise…" He looked at her with sad eyes. Something happened because of that Flower. She wanted to hear it but….
"I will promise in the name of the Sitri clan and as the Student Council President of Kuoh."
"Really?"
Sona nodded.
"Then I'm happy!" He raised his arms in the air, causing several of the devil to sweatdrop.
"Now," She cleared her throat "Do you want me ask more?"
"Mnh, oh yes, can I see on this Evil Pieces?"
"Sure, I don't mind." In Sona's hand appeared a blue chess piece and she handed it over to Mikhail.
Mikhail observed it and immediately the Black Flower began to whisper in him.
"It's telling me to take it….interesting…" He observed the little thing that can do really big things.
"Is something the matter?" Sona asked him curious.
"No, no everything's fine." He wanted give the knight piece back, when she suddenly asked him another question.
"Before that, I want you to ask you something…"
"Sure…" But he already knew what is her point.
"I want you to join my peerage, Mikhail-kun, I think the Knight Piece would be suitable for you and seems you and my peerage are already in good terms." She smiled at him. "What do you say?
"Hm, I'm sorry but I must decline…" Well he was really sorry. He really took a liking to Sona, but it was impossible.
"Well I am sorry to hear that, but if you change your mind….."
"I will immediately come to you and not to Gremory-senpai, I promise!"
"Eh?" Boom, critical hit. Again some of the others tried to hide their smiles and giggles. Sona's cheeks became slightly pink.
"But Sona-Kaichou?"
"Y-yes?"
"If you need help, or the others you can always count on me!" He puffed his chest and smiled at her.
Then she closed her eyes and also smiled back "I will take this offer gladly, thank you."
Mikhail stood up and bowed to the devils "Well, see you guys! Bye Tomoe-chan!"
"Bye, bye Mikhail-chan!" She waved him back.
Then the dragon left the room.
The Devil's Flower
After some minutes passed, the members of the Student Council Body talked with each other and discussed what just happened.
"What are you thinking, Kaichou?" Tsubaki asked her King.
"Well," Sona took her glasses off and massaged her nose "He is really indescribable, like Rias said."
"Certainly…" Tsubaki smiled a little bit.
"But that is what you like at him, don't you?"
"W-what!? I don't know what you're talking about, Kaichou!" The usual cool and composed Tsubaki was now in a little panic, her face was flushed.
"I always thought that you liked Kiba, but now jumping to another much prettier boy…." The smug face is strong in this one…
"Hmpf! Well a girl has always a choice…." She pouted much to the surprise of her King.
Both devils looked at the rest of the peerage. Momo and Reya had slightly pink cheeks while Tsubasa smiled and seem to daydream. And Tomoe tells some things to Ruroko who started to laugh. It seems they were talking something about Mikhail, while Saji looked determined and thought about things. He looked to his Sacred Gear. It felt sad, when Mikhail was gone. It felt like, a child who was happy to meet his idol...
"Well, I think we found an enigma…don't you think Tsubaki?"
The Queen slightly smiled and nodded "Yes."
The Devil's Flower
It was finally done. Many students of Kuoh said it, when the bell rang, but not for the poor Mikhail. He received already 50 messages on his new smartphone from Five. Half of them were really, really…well you can guess what she wrote. And the other halves were pictures.
"I shouldn't have shown her the internet or better giving her my number…" The dragon sighed.
He wondered why Five took such a liking to him. He saved her, yes, but this obsession was already Zero-standard. Whatever….
"I hope Accord is alright by handling her…..I think I should still visit the Gremory devils.
The Devil's Flower
Mikhail was currently in the old school building which belonged to the Occult Research Club. He was in worry, because no one of them was in school today.
While walking through the old corridor towards the club, he thought many thinks.
Why Five happened to land in this world, why didn't she die from his magic as an born Intoner.
"Maybe it was due the will of the Black Flower…." He already tried to contact that damn thing, but all that it said in the moment, was kill every human, destroy them, eat them, violate every female…..
But there was hope, if she survived, than the others maybe, too! Maybe even Zero! "Stop!" Such thoughts were already banished. He stopped and looked to the sky, through a window. "I already gave up seeing Zero, how many worlds I searched for her, how many years have I spent…25 000, 50 000, 100 000 years, hah, sometimes, just sometimes…curse my first life …." He continued to walk.
The Devil's Flower
After some time he arrived before the old wood door. "I hope everyone is alright…" He sighed and knocked on the door.
…
But no reply…. He knocked again on the antique door.
…
"Mmh, maybe no one here?" He gripped the knob of the door and opened it. "Hello…?." Now he was really in worry. He stuck his head into the room and looked around "Hellooo, someone here?" But the club room was empty….
Mikhail walked in and looked "Where is everybody?" He smelled around. "Hm, all of them were here today. Their scent still lingers here..."
He walked around, but then when the dragon passed a door, he heard someone humming, plus the sound of a shower. When the sound of water stopped and the opening of the shower curtain could be heard the dragon thought that it is time to go.
In the next moment the door opened, revealing a beautiful body of a girl with an ample chest, smooth white skin and crimson hair. Her name, Rias Gremory, a devil.
"Eh?" And now she saw Mikhail in front of her….. in her…. birth suit.
"Ehm, hello Gremory-senpai…" With and smile on face, like nothing happened he greeted her.
"M-M-Mikhail!?" Her eyes were wide open, her face was flushed and she tried to hide her womanly parts. "W-What are you doing…kyaah!" She took a step back, but slipped due the water on the ground.
"Lock out!" He tried to grab her and "Bum" both of them landed on the ground. Well it was Rias who landed on it, Mikhail on….her.
(Are you perhaps Rito?)
"Owowo, you're alright?" When he opened his eyes, he saw Rias in her eyes. Her beautiful body was completely exposed. Water droplets were glittering on her skin. Her hair was wet and a scent of sweet shampoo reached his nose. Right now she was looking at him, speechless, her face, red as her hair. A third person would think that Mikhail pinned her down. "Ehm, Senpai?" She didn't spoke. She saw him only in his eyes. Little tears came out. "Are you….." Before he continued his sentences, Rias looked away. Given to her body language she says, "It's okay, do as you like…" but Mikhail didn't understand it…but he could feel…lust...
She only spoke one sentence "If it's you, I allow it…"
"Eh, what allow it….she doesn't mean…." Before the dragon could end his thought, the door of the club room opened.
"Well I think we did well, Issei-kun." It was Kiba who came in first and then he saw Mikhail on Rias, she naked and he soaking wet. "Eh…" He stood there like a statue. A wry smile and eyes in unbelief decorated his face.
"Ki..ba.." Rias stuttered his name.
"Ara, Kiba-kun what is …it?" Then Akeno walked in and saw the both. "Eh?" Her usual smile and the ufufu, or ara, ara were gone. Instead of it, a smile that gives them both a cold shiver could be seen on her face. Her eyes were slightly open and her eyes were dark.
"A-Akeno wait, I can explain.." She raised her hand in panic.
"What is it…?" Now Koneko, too. When she saw Mikhail on the top of her stark naked King, her eyes began to narrow and she began to hiss.
"No, Koneko…" Tears came out from her eyes, again.
"Come on guys, what the deal…eh?" Then Issei "You bastard what are you doing to our Buchou!" He activated his gauntlet.
"Issei,no!" Her face looked really like an tomato.
"Issei-san what is going on?" Then suddenly young girl with long blonde hair appeared. It was Asia.
"No, don't look Asia!" Issei quickly held her eyes and glared at Mikhail.
"Issei-san!?" The former nun was slightly dumbfounded by his action.
"Hey guys, how are you doing?" Like nothing he greeted them with a smile, while lying on Rias…
But they still stared at him.
"Ehm, did I do something wrong?"
The Devil's Flower
After everyone calmed down and some explanation the situation had become at least slightly normal.
Akeno who made tea laid a cup besides Rias who sat on her chair.
"Ara, ara, and I thought that you send us away to have some fun time with our dear Mikhail-kun.
Rias' face became red she began to pout "It was not like that…..but at least I had chance…"
"What are you murmuring, Rias?"
"Nothing!" She answered annoyed and turned her face away from her Queen.
"Ufufu."
Kiba smiled "Well at least, we could clear the misunderstanding…" He still didn't believe what just happened. Seriously an accident…..
Mikhail tilted his head "I don't know what you misunderstood, but I only helped Gremory-senpai before she get hurt…"
"Buh!" Rias pouted again.
"Eh, did I say something wrong?" A big question mark appeared over his head.
"Buh!" More pouting incoming..
Koneko who stood before the humanoid dragon asked him with a cold tone "Is that really the truth Mikhail-senpai?" Her eyes were suddenly yellow, like a cat.
"Ehm, yes….."
Koneko nodded. She believed him and sat immediately on his lap.
"Na!" Rias almost stood up and wanted to yell at her Rook, but she controlled herself. She is a lady of the Gremory, but still….
Koneko understood it and asked with "Is everything alright, Buchou?" But her face said "I won!"
"That little…." She clenched her fists; a small red aura appeared around her.
"Guh, damn handsome, seeing Buchou's naked body and even touching her!" Issei cursed Mikhail "I want to know how she felt!" He pointed at him with an demanding finger.
"Well, she was really soft and smelled good!" And Mikhail dropped a bomb.
"Wha..."
"Ara, ara, I'm a little bit jealous...how about it, do you want to touch me, too?"
Kiba could only smile and sweatdropped while Koneko "Ow, Ow, iwt hwurts, Kwoneko-chwan!" Pinched Mikhail's cheeks!"
"Mikhail-senpai…. pervert!" She pouted
"Eh?" Now he knew how Issei felt "I just said the truth!"
"And me?" The little girl hugged him tightly and looked with shiny eyes, which could destroy an entire country, at him the most powerful dragon!
"Guh, getting hugged by Koneko-chan, touching Buchou's naked body and be asked by Akeno-senpai to touch her….I'M SO JEALOUS!" He started to criy tears of blood. Really!
"Issei-san," Asia who sat beside the perverted boy looked at him with teary eyes "If you want to see naked bodies of woman, I would gladly…." Shortly she started to strip.
"Asia, no, stop!" He tried to prevent it.
"No, let me!" And she tried to continue.
Everyone sweatdropped, even Mikhail.
Rias stood up "Asia, Issei I think that is enough, we have a guest here."
"Yes!" 2x
She looked to Mikhail who petted Koneko, a small tick mark appeared on her forehead, and she talked "Well I think it is a good opportunity to introduce you to my new peerage member, Mikhail." She looked at Asia and nodded.
"Y-yes, Buchou!" The timid girl walked towards Mikhail and bowed "I-I am Asia Argentino, former sister and now Rias-nee-san's bishop, i-it's a pleasure to meet you.
Mikhail smiled at her, causing Koneko to hug him tighter "Nice to meet you Asia, I am Utahime Mikhail, I want to stand up but you see…"
When Asia heard his name she began to panic "Mikhail like the angel!" She started to fidgeted "A-are you perhaps an angel, the archangel!?"
"No, no, I'm only Mikhail!" He smiled again. His usual answer caused everyone to sweatdropped.
But Asia was not persuaded "But, but you are so beautiful! Are you really not an angel?"
"Nope!"
"Oh…" She hung her shoulders.
"Sorry…" He lowered his head as an excuse.
"Eh, don't worry!" She held her hand before her.
"Ehem! Back to the topics, Mikhail, why are you here. Did you perhaps come here to finally join my peerage?" She smiled at him deviously.
"Nope!"
"I see….."
"Ara, ara, rejected, again, ufufu."
"Akeno!"
"After I talked with Sona-Kaichou, I just wanted to look after you and be sure that everything is alright."
"Wait what!" Did she just mishear him? "Since when did you start to speak so familiar with Sona!"
That startled Mikhail "Well since today…"
"Is that so….." With dark eyes she looked at the dragon who just hugged Koneko from fear. He already knew and felt the wrath of woman, but what did he do to incur her… "Call me from now one Rias.."
"Eh?" He tilted his.
"I said, call me from now on Rias!"
"O-okay, Rias-senpai!"
"Good." She nodded and looked at her Queen who observed her with an amused smile. "What is it?"
"Nothing, ufufu!"
"Guh! Calling Buchou with her first name!"
"Enough! So Mikhail?"
"Yes?"
"What did you talk with Sona?"
"Well the same things…"
She raised a eyebrow "Really?"
"Yeah!"
Rias narrowed her eyes. In fact, she wanted to believe him, but why was she...wait a moment is she jealous "And something else?"
"She also asked me to join her peerage, but I declined."
"Mh," The red haired girl nodded "Of course. So what do want to talk with us?"
"Well I wanted to see Koneko-chan, Kiba, Akeno-senpai, Issei and Asia" He rested his head on Koneko's, much to her liking.
Rias narrowed her eyes when she saw that "Why them and not me?"
"Well, it's no every day that you died and brought back to life."
"Crack" Kiba let his cup drop, while the others looked with disbelief, like him.
"Eh, why are so surprised? You died yesterday and…." He suddenly noticed Rias' face. She looked away from her peerage. "You, you didn't tell them!" He wanted to stand up, truth to be told, he was a little bit upset, that she lied to them.
Then everyone looked at their King.
"Rias," Akeno's face had become slightly scared "What is he talking about?"
"Buchou!?" Issei was also agitated.
"Ah crap, I think I should have shut my mouth…"
Koneko looked at Rias "Buchou is Mikhail-senpai talking the truth?"
Rias sighed and closed her eyes, she wanted to talk but how should she explain it.
"Yes, all of you died, yesterday. You were killed by that blonde woman with the lance."
Everyone looked now at Mikhail.
"W-what…how?" Asia held her hands together.
"Well except for Asia who already died, Kiba, Issei, Koneko and Akeno-senpai, you were all killed by Five..."
"Five, you mean that blonde woman, from yesterday?"
"Yes, Akeno-senpai…."
"Wait, Utahime-kun you brought us back to life?"
Mikhail nodded towards Kiba.
"Bullshit!" Yelled Issei. "If I died, I would remember it!"
"It seems when I resurrected you all, your memories were gone…."
Kiba walked towards Mikhail "Then how did you brought us back or are we just undead, or…"
"You are you, don't worry you will live a normal life!" He smiled at the blonde boy.
"Then how did you bring us back, Mikhail-kun, with magic?"
"No, not directly, Akeno…"
The black haired girl looked at her King "What then?"
"I sang…"
"Eh?" Now everyone was dumbfounded.
"What?" Issei was still confused "What in the name of hell are you talking? You sang?"
"Yes."
"Well I don't know what I should belief now." Kiba shook his head. He didn't comprehend anything what the dragon just said.
"Well then I show it. Kiba bring me the fragments of the cup."
"O-okay…" Kiba gathered them and brought the pieces. Mikhail received them hold him with both open palms.
"Good, what I show will explain a little bit okay?"
Everybody nodded. With curious eyes the devils were observing the dragon. Then Mikhail began to chant.
"Behold the true third song: Quickened Puppets of Antiquity!"
"What the…!" Kiba drew his sword out, while Issei summoned his gauntlet.
"No..!" Rias raised her hand, signalizing both of them to stop. She looked at Mikhail who was surrounded by a purple aura. Wings with the same color appeared on his back. But even she was scared to the bones. "Such power!"
Then everyone continued to watch at Mikhail.
"The raging demon's deathly gaze! Master of everything, creator from nothing. I the puppeteer nether maker or builder demand your true form! Verse One Song of Creation, Origin!" The petal wings exploded and shattered through the entire room. The purple light caused everyone to be blinded.
After sometime the devils opened their eyes when Mikhail's voice could be heard. "It's okay you can look at me."
The devils looked at the holy dragon who held the cup in his hand. It was completely restored.
"What the..." Issei was speechless.
"Good as new, I also made it a little bit sturdier. The cup shouldn't be break so easily now." He handed it to Kiba whose mouth was wide open as his eyes.
"What…Mikhail-kun what was that…? Akeno who regained her composure, spoke to the dragon.
"It was the power of my song." He smiled at her.
Rias spoke up "Was that…"
"Nope, no magic."
"Then what was it! Such amazing power. Not that it also felt almost demonic but also holy! Explain it!" The Gremory heir hammered her hands on her table. Her sentence caused everyone to look at Mikhail.
But he shook his head "I will only say this, it's one of my abilities."
"Then was that the song you used to bring us back to life?" Kiba sheeted his sword back, but still laid his palm on it.
"Nope, this was the Song of Creation. I used the Song of Love and Life to bring you back."
"You have more than one song!" Rias couldn't hold her curiosity back.
"Yes…." He tilted his head at her.
"But the energy you emitted it was almost demonic, wait…are you perhaps ….I don't understand….. but it was also mixed with holy energy!" She held her breath.
"Nope, I'm Mikhail!"
BAAM, the heiress hammered her head on the table.
"Then, Mikhail-kun, what is that power?"
Before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by Asia "You are an angel!" She walked towards him and took his hands "Why did you deny it, being a messenger of the Lord!" Her eyes were sparkling.
Mikhail facepalmed much to the surprise of the devils. He looked at Asia "I'm not an angel..."
"But those wings!" She was really persistent.
"I'm not an angel…sorry."
"Oh, okay…" The former nun loses her grip and walked towards Issei.
Honestly he didn't want to shatter her dream, but her claiming to be a lesser being, hurt his pride as a dragon.
"Mikhail, I am still waiting…" Now she had that gaze again.
"Sigh", I will not say anything, I only wanted to help you and now….."
Rias finally get it, her peerage was rescued and brought back to life and now again she was rude to Mikhail.
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to…" the high-class devil looked away from the dragon.
"It's alright let's just say we are quit…"
"Eh?"
"From before…."
"Eh…!?" Rias' face was now again flushed, "I-I-I told you it's alright…..!"
"But…"
"If you are really sorry, then…..join my peerage!"
"Nah…"
"Ufufu." Akeno smiled amused. "You would be such a perfect devil, Mikhail-kun. Are you really sure you not to join us?"
"Um, sorry, but…." He stood up and held Koneko in his arms. He placed her on the couch. The devils observed him with curiosity, while he slowly walked towards the door and opened it. He turned around and smiled at them "I already promised Sona-Kaichou that if I want to become a devil, I would join her peerage….."
Hearing this caused the members of the ORC to widen their eyes, especially Rias, who stood up and hammered again her hands on the desk. "Wha…."
"BAAM"
Before she could finish, Mikhail closed the door and run for his life.
From Dragons, Devils and Fallen Angels Arc finished.
Next Arc: The Dragon, the Fox and the Phoenix.
Well that was a long chapter. I hope you like it.
Now that the first arc is finished, Mikhail will face more problems with his new Intoner and the devils. And now an arrogant chicken will appear, only to be eaten by him and he will meet the new enemies and allies.
Also my updates will take a little bit longer. Sorry.
Because of personal problems, writing will be much difficult. I will try to update fast as possible.
I will also try to update my other stories.
