Chapter Seven: An Old Friend

The Devil's Flower

„I lost everything. I lost Zero….What should I do, what should I do….?"

"Destroy….."

"Huh!?"

"Destroy, destroy! You will be mine, you will mine, mine, mine, mine!"

"I will never…"

"Let me sing for you!"

"Never!"

"Let me tell you a tale!"

"Never!"

"Let me...live!

"Ugh!"

"Ah, it is you!"

"No!"

"Finally, finally we are one again…..%$)/&$%$&/(!"

"No!

"Accept me!"

"Never!"

"Love me…again!"

"I never loved you!"

"I'm yours, was always yours….Every life you had, every time you came back…we will always be together, in the end….there will be again…

….

….

….

"Mikhail…become strong!"

The Devil's Flower

"Zero!" Mikhail woke up from his nightmare. He was sweating and heavily breathing "Zero….."

"Having a bad dream?" The dragon turned his head to his right side and saw a beautiful blonde woman lying beside him. She was naked and looked at him with slightly red cheeks.

"Five…why are you in my bed….again?"

"I rea~ally wanted to see your sleeping face again. Are you against it?" She rose a little bit, exposing her entire chest and leaned towards Mikhail. "Wanna have a taste?"

"Zip it…" He tapped her forehead with his index and middle finger.

"H~an!"

Mikhail facepalmed "You know I don't mind sleeping with you, but…"

"But..." She leaned forward and took his hand while pressing her cleavage together.

"Puff" He hit her with his pillow "Don't grope me while I'm sleeping…"

"Muh, you are as much a prude as Four-onee-sama…."

Mikhail could only sigh; seriously that woman comes in every night and sneaks into his bed. Even Accord gave up, helping him.

"You called Zero-onee-sama's name out …."

"…Is that so…"

Hearing this, caused Five to look away from him "You really miss her?"

"There is no moment….."

"I…understand, but Mikhail-chan?"

"Hm?"

"If I am alive, maybe….."

"Stop…," Mikhail's voice was soft, but yet full of sadness "I-I gave up seeing her again…."

"But…."

"Enough…please…."

"I understand."

Then both of them continued to sleep, together. But Mikhail hoped to dream about a much happier memory….

The Devil's Flower

Mikhail was on his way to school. Accord took free to look after Five. While he walked down the street, he thought about things, especially about the blonde Intoner. From her memories he could tell, that she behaved the same again when she was a child. It was that time when she and the other newborn Intoners fought the Nobles and took their territory and brought peace, before they were corrupted by the Black Flower from the Mercurius Gate "If she is alive, maybe the others are as well, but if they have my power….they would go berserk from it." His worry was that the other girls would be slowly poisoned by his dragon essence in their bodies. "But now I should….." Before Mikhail could end his thought he halted. The entire area was suddenly dark. It looked like it was dawn. The sky was blood red with a touch of blue and yellow. Then he heard the flapping of wings. When he looked up, he saw a fallen angel. It was a middle-aged, sturdy-looking man with black hair, and full beard. He had 10 black wings and wore a black armor.

Before he could draw his weapon, the Fallen raised his hand "Wait, boy, I do not want to fight!"

Mikhail narrowed his eyes and tilted his head "Didn't I tell you and your brethren that I don't want to see you crows here in this town anymore…" Mikhail eyes became red and several veins popped up on his arms. He was right now… not amused.

"For what our subordinates did, I sincerely apologize." The Fallen bowed.

Mikhail eyed him. The Fallen don't want to fight, but what he could see from his body language, the mimic of his face and movements of his muscles that the ten winged Fallen was extremely afraid of him. But it seems he could keep his cool.

"Boy what is your name?" Before the angel could even blink, Mikhail was before him. On his back were large white wings, each with golden claws, but the scales on the inside of the wings were pitch-black. "What!"

"First!" He could hear a monstrous gargling "Don't call me boy; I'm much older than you and your useless creator…." Mikhail flapped with his dragon wings, causing some strong wind, which almost brought the Fallen off balance.

The Fallen swallowed his saliva and bowed "Forgive me, Dragon-dono…" It seems he could tell by his wings, what Mikhail is.

"My name is Mikhail…" The holy dragon's voice had an icy tone, causing the Fallen to shiver more.

"Of course, Mikhail-d…."

"Rrrgh…" He growled….

"Of course Mikhail-sama….."

"Good," The dragon nodded and faced the Fallen "So what do you want?"

"First of all, my name is Baraqiel," The Fallen bowed again "I am here under the order of Azazel-sama…"

Mikhail cracked his neck, causing Baraqiel to flinch "And?..." Smoke rose from the sides of Mikhail's mouth, signalizing that one wrong word would mean he would end as a pile of ash.

"Azazel-sama wants to talk with you….."

The Holy Dragon closed his eyes "If that is the case, I should at least talk with that guy, before I make toast of him….." He opened them and answered "Good, bring me to him. But one wrong move and you end as my second breakfast…."

"I-I understand…."

The Devil's Flower

Blazing Shining Aura Bar

Mikhail was brought to a bar. It looked classical but yet kingly. Several leather couches and seats with ebony tables. High-class liquid and in the middle was a weird metallic pole…

While Mikhail looked around, he noticed that it was almost empty. He could only see a person sitting on a chair and reading a book while drinking something. But there was something weird about him. He was strong, really strong. He also had a familiar scent.

Baraqiel stopped "Azazel-sama I brought him."

"Ah good work Baraqiel." Then the man turned around and stood up. It was a tall man in his late twenties or early thirties with an average build, black hair, golden bangs and a black goatee.

"Azazel" Mikhail looked with narrowed eyes to the Fallen.

"It's been a while…."

Hearing there exchange, made Baraqiel curious, what relationship has his Governor and the dragon in human form had in the past?

Mikhail held his head with his hands. "Are you kidding me!?"

Azazel chuckled "Well that's some kind of greeting…"

"You are still a brat, how many time did I say it to you? Look. After. Your. Subjects!"

When Baraqiel heard that, he couldn't hold his emotions under control. That bastard just said something disrespectful to his leader "How dar…!"

"Enough." Azazel raised his hand, signalizing him to be quiet. "Show respect to him. That man saved my life and the built the future of the Grigori."

"Wha…" Baraqiel was speechless, but he already noticed the gaze of his leader and that of Mikhail "Forgive me my rudeness, Mikhail-sama!" He kneeled before the Holy Dragon.

But he turned to Fallen "So what now?

"Mhmhmmahahahah! Well I'm glad to see you again, come, come drink with me!"

Mikhail crossed his arms "And why should I?"

"I have banana cake!"

"Got it." Hearing his quick reply, the governor could only chuckle again.

The Devil's Flower

"And is it tasty?"

"Mmh!" Right now Mikhail is devouring the third banana cake.

Hearing this caused Azazel to nod in satisfaction "This is only a small thing to repay you."

"Gulp!" Now the entire cake was gone "Next!"

"Well, who thought that bananas are the favorite food of dragons, unless it was you who said it to me?"

"I think I made a mistake."

Both of them looked at each other and laughed heartfully, causing Baraqiel to sweatdrop.

"So, what brings you back?"

Mikhail's smile vanished and he looked seriously at the governor "I had some work to do, but your little servants made some fuss and thought that they could kill me."

Now Azazel's smile also vanished. It was replaced by a face of guilt. "I heard what the four did…."

"Furthermore I should maybe thank you first…"

Azazel looked at Mikhail puzzled "What do you mean?"

"Five…that blonde woman…."

"Ah, that girl…yes…poor thing…"

"What do you mean? Moreover how did you found her?"

"Well…" He tried to break eye contact with Mikhail.

"What did you do?"

"*Cough*, well…"

"What. Did. You. Do!?"

"I found her when I was researching in the Dimensional Gap..." He smiled at the dragon, then *Baam* only to receive a punch in his face.

"Azazel-sama!" Baraqiel yelled out.

"It's okay! I'm alright!" He held his nose, which started to bleed. "I deserved that…"

"Are you crazy!?" Mikhail snarled at the punched Fallen.

Azazel stood up, slightly shaken and held his hands in a defensive gesture, to show he understood his mistake "Look I'm sorry!"

"Do you understand what you're doing!?"

"I said relax, I will not disturb the peace of the Great Red and Great White, especially the White," Before that he rubbed his nose "Oh man you really have a nasty punch!" He leaned forwards from pain.

If you are asking why he didn't know that Mikhail was the last one, he didn't tell him. But this is for another time…

"Well don't do anything like that again….ah forgot it, you will do it regardless what I say…" The dragon snorted.

"Of course I will be carful, oh for the sake of the Grigori, but …. I need ice!"

"Before that, tell me about Five…"

"Is that the name of the woman?" Azazel took some of the ice on his bleeding nose, which, was already slightly swollen.

"Yes!"

"Now when I found…Five, right…She was in a critical state. She had heavy burns and it seems some foreign power, in her, tried to kill her…."

"Continue…"

"I did research on her to see if I could help her. But her blood samples showed something abnormal. I've never seen anything like it! It was like….."

"Destroy the samples…."

"Excuse me?"

"I said destroy the samples, quick as possible! No rather hand them over to me!"

"Okay, okay…and?"

"You healed her."

"Oh right! When her wounds were healed, I put magic on her to save her from the foreign energy that was in her."

"You couldn't take it….. out, from her?"

"Nope, it lingered in her like a parasite, so I put some seals on it. But it seems it was not enough. After that she vanished with some of my subjects, only to destroy one of my research factories. But her mental behavior had gone from bad to worse before that happened."

"Good, was that all?"

Azazel nodded.

Mikhail asked something that lingered on his mind "Then what about Kokabiel?"

Man, it seems that Azazel would take of more problems than ever "I ensure you, that those who survived your onslaught will be punished….."

"What about Kokabiel!" Now his voice made even Azazel more uncomfortable.

"He has gone rouge, my subordinates are currently looking everywhere for that guy….."

"No you will do one thing!"

"Yes?"

"You will work…with me, do you understand?"

"Work…with you?"

"Yes, whatever it is, Kokabiel is planning something….big, I can feel it in my scales.

"Well," he stroked his goatee "I am of the same opinion. I've known Kokabiel for years and that guy will try something to jeopardize the truce."

"Exactly," Mikhail pointed his forefinger to Azazel "And if we work together, we will end this more quickly. I want answers from him."

"Good, working with you is an honor, Mikhail-sama."

Baraqiel almost stumbled. Azazel just said sama, to someone. He only said this to god, even almost choking.

"Then I should take my leave…" When he could stand up, Azazel put his hand on his shoulder.

"Before that, you must do something for me..."

Mikhail blinked and tilted his head.

Azazel stood up and snipped with his fingers; a magic circle appeared from the ground in a brilliant black flash. From it emerged four people.

"What the…!"

"Easy, easy!"

The reason why Mikhail just became upset was, that those four people were the Fallen who fought against him back then in the church.

The four Fallen were in chains, their clothes were torn and dirty. Kalawarner and Mittelt looked okay, but Dohnaseek and Raynare were not. Both of them were on their knees. Dohnaseek's shoulder didnt look any better. He had bandages around it, but they were already completely red and drenched in blood. He was also sweating a lot. But Raynare looked much worse. She just kneeled there; her eyes were dark, her nose and face red. It seems she cried a lot.

Kalawarner opened her eyes "Azazel-sam….ngh!" And saw Mikhail beside him "No, ah!" She stumbled and fell on her butt.

"Kalawarner what is…." Then Mittlet also noticed Mikhail "No, No, noooooooooooooooooo!" She began to cry and fell on her knees "Please do not hurt me!" Don't eat me!" She held her hand before her like a child who tried to protect herself from beatings.

"Ugh…" Dohnaseek couldn't bear the shock of seeing Mikhail and the pain on his shoulder and threw up.

A sour and rancid smell found his way towards Mikhail's nose. How many times did he see such a reaction? So many people react to him, back then in his old days. When he started his rebellion against …..him

"What nonsense is this Azazel?" He looked at the fallen leader.

"Wait a moment," He walked towards the Fallen and spoke to Raynare "Snap out of it." It was a serious tone.

"Azazel…-sama?" She looked up to him.

"There is someone here for you." Then he turned to Mikhail.

When she tilted her head she saw the one who took her wings "Ah…" Raynare smiled, but it was a smile without light, without the will of life. Her voice was weak yet understandable "Did you come back, to finally finish me off?"

Mikhail frowned then he walked towards them.

"No, please!" Kalawarner laid her forehead on the ground and begged to him.

"HA, no no no no no no no no no no, it's a nightmare!" Mittelt hugged herself.

"You will judge them."

"Say what?" Mikhail was now dumbfounded.

"Azazel-sama, please no!" The blue haired Fallen begged to her leader.

"Silence!" Mittelt and Kalawarner twitched and looked on the ground, already accepting their destiny.

Mikhail slowly walked towards Raynare. He put his hand on her face, gentle, and raised her head.

"Kill me…." She said it with a lifeless tone; her eyes were dark and lifeless.

"No….."Behold the true second song: Great Fists of Antiquity! To help those who are in need, to help those who are in danger. May my song heal them, give them blessing and soothe their wounds! I command thee, in my name! Verse One, Song of the Innocent, Heal!"

The four Fallen were surrounded by a blue aura and their wounds began to heal. But not only wounds….

"My wound….the pain is gone!" Dohnaseek raised his upper body and took the bandages from his shoulder.

"What happened, why did you heal us!?" Mittelt asked Mikhail.

But suddenly Kalawarner pointed at Raynare "Look!"

Everybody, while Azazel whistled, was astonished. Raynare's wings were back.

"My…my wings! They are back!" She gently stroked the feathers, her eyes regained more color and she looked at the Dragon before her.

"Hoh, those songs of you always astonish me, I wish you would tell me about them, but in fact you just joined us…."

Mikhail glared at the Fallen Leader "I didn't join you, I work with you…." Then he looked at Raynare "Enjoy them, because this is your last chance…" Mikhail warned her.

"Then why, why didn't you kill me!?"

"You could change; all of you."

"But..!"

"I think you should thank the Holy Dragon-sama for his mercy." Azazel finally let the cat out.

"Holy…" Dohnaseek widened his eyes.

"Dragon!" Now Kalawarner's face was pale.

"I thought your species were extinct!" Mittelt's body shook from fear.

"Not quite…"

"That means we attacked…."

Azazel took a step forwards "That's right you attacked a being that should never be touched, an Archdragon, a god and maou killer, the strongest race of the Dragons And you know what that means; you would bring every Lizard against us and me…..

Mikhail glared at the Fallen Leader for the word 'Lizard' but looked shortly at the ones before him…

"We beg for your forgiveness!" Kalawarner literally hammered her head again on the ground "We didn't know that such a sacred creature like you were before us!"

"Please forgive us Holy Dragon-sama!" Mittelt also placed her head on the ground as well.

"Forgive this foolish one here!" Dohnaseek begged for his life…

Then Mikhail's eyes wandered towards Raynare who looked like and deer that is surprised by a truck. "I-I don't know…..I…."

"Enough!" Mikhail's voice made them quiet, on his back appeared his two white wings, white particles made from light emitted from them

"Beautiful…." Mittelt was in awe, she was astonished by the pure-white and pitch-black scales on his wings.

Kalawarner as well "Magnificent!" Her mouth was wide open and she slightly blushed.

Azazel chuckled; everything was according to his plan. He raised both hands "In this moment, you four will be working under Mikhail-sama. Do you understand!?"

The Four looked with disbelief by hearing –sama from their beloved Governor….

"Because this guy here is the one I owe my life to." The leader of the Fallen crossed his arms and nodded "And he wants to join us!"

"Eh!?" x4 Even Baraqiel couldn't hide his surprise.

Mikhail almost stumbled and looked with angry eyes towards Azazel "I told you before you will work with me!

"Work with us, join us, it's the same!" He laughed and patted Mikhail's shoulder.

"It is not the same!"

"Ahahaha!" The Governor laughed again.

"Ah, screw my past lives….," He then laid his eyes on the Four before him who twitched "What do you say, will you join this dragon?" Mikhail suddenly talked esteemed, much to the surprise of them…

"I-I will join you Mikhail-sama!" Kalawarner kneeled again before the Archdragon.

"I as well Holy Dragon!" Mittelt answered with respect.

Then Mikhail looked to Dohnaseek "I dont have much choice, I want to redeem myself, Azazel-sama!"

"Then serve our new ally." He nodded towards Mikhail.

"If an Archdragon joins us, we the Grigori will be more powerful and I will do everything for it….I will join under your command….Mikhail-sama!" Dohnaseek wish for more power was heard.

Then all of them looked to Raynare. She looked first to her allies, than to Azazel and then to Mikhail "I will…..," she breathed out and stood up "Not join you!"

When the Governor heard this he raised an eyebrow "And why exactly, Raynare?" He started to emit and immense amount of bloodlust towards her causing Raynare to fall on the ground. Baraqiel, Kalawarner, Dohnaseek and Mittelt almost lost their minds, seeing their leader in his full glory again.

"He, he hurt me, he tried to kill me!"

"And you tried to kill him, an Archdragon!" Azazel slightly became annoyed.

"I didn't know that he was one!"

"What about Issei, what about Asia!" Mikhail reacted like Azazel.

"I…I just wanted….Kokabiel…..told"

"You just wanted to fill the emptiness in your heart, nothing wrong with that but what about others!?"

"I don't care about the others!"

"Then what about Asia!?"

"Eh!" Raynare twitched. "What about her?"

"She is alive.."

"She is…."

"Now a devil and she is finally happy, do you know why? Because her new family is kind to her, she is loved regardless what she did not like their religious leader or those airheads above us!"

Azazel chuckled by hearing this.

"I…"

"Then this is my question to you Raynare. Why didn't you kill Asia before, why did you wait, huh?"

"I tried to plan…"

"No, the real reason is you feared Kokabiel and believed in his suggestions.

"That's not…!"

"Yet you pitied Asia…"

"You dare!"

"Yes I dare! Because you and her are the same!"

"Huh!"

The other Fallen Angels looked with every sentence they looked at Mikhail then to their colleague. Now one wanted to say one word or tried to interfere.

"Both of you were hurt, both of you were lost. I heard from Gremory about her story. You took care of her after she was lost and hurt.

"No, that's not it…" Raynare lowered her head.

"Let me guess that was the first time you ignored you selfishness, because of her. But then Kokabiel came and promised you things?"

"How do you know!?"

"That's nothing you should know." Mikhail crossed his arms "But let me guess, you didn't wanted to work with him, because that means you would move against your Governor's order?"

Raynare's eyes widened "He promised me things, many things. I was weak, I just wanted…." Then she began to cry.

"Enough!" Mikhail snapped with his fingers, causing the chains on Raynare to break "You will live; death is no option for you…at least not now."

"But I…!"

"Redeem yourself or die."

"Then Kokabiel…will kill me instead!"

"Kokabiel will die by my claws!"

The spectators of them couldn't hold their breath anymore.

Raynare saw the determination, the passion in Mikhail's eyes. Half of her hates him for that. How could he be so sure and confident of himself, how could he let her go. Her answer, she snorted "Than there is only one choice…"

Mikhail laughed "Sorry girl, there was never a choice for you!" He shrugged with shoulders.

"Tch, smartass! But still I will only by your side because of Azazel-sama" Then Raynare smiled slightly.

"Don't worry you will obey….Mikhail…."

Both of them glared at each other. But then…."Ehem!" Azazel corrected her.

"Right," She cleared her throat "I will work with you Mikhail-…sama…" The last word was hard to say for her.

Azazel started to clap and laugh "First breaking her down, pushing her into a corner and then making a good mood with smartassery, incredible as always."

"Ha, Ha…" laughed the dragon sarcastically.

The Governor chuckled "Now that everything is clear, let us talk about our next step….."

"Kokabiel…" Mikhail ended his sentence.

"Right, let's begin!"

The Devil's Flower

Late at night

Mikhail was walking back home. It was already dark. He even skipped school for today to make a plan with his new allies, who insisted that he joined them; even though he said numerous times that he works with them.

They thought about looking for Kokabiel while being under the radar from the devils caused him some serious headaches. Because it was their territory, it made it harder to send Fallens. The result was, that he should take a break from school and go to Kyoto, to make negotiations with the Yokai Faction.

Azazel hoped that Mikhail's status as a Holy Dragon would bring support to their Alliance called Grigori's Blazing Archdragon Alliance….

….The name is still under process…..

Handling the Fallen was a challenge, but hey he hadn't seen such action for a long time.

Despite being idiots before, some of the Fallen were really nice. Kalawarner was more docile than he thought. But there was the fact she stared at him with admiration and longing. Mittelt was not better. She couldn't stop to touch his lustrous golden hair….. Well he didn't care, he was used to it.

Dohnaseek surprised him more, after the talk; he asked him to train him, much to the surprise of Azazel and Baraqiel. Mikhail taught him some technics, especially flying attacks.

And Raynare was still hardhead, but she took her orders, without much retorting.

Mikhail halted for a moment and looked at the night sky "But still…it is not enough…."

'Thinking about something?'

A female voice could be heard. She was seductive, yet terrifying, beautiful yet bloodcurdling.

"Now you want to talk with me, Black Flower?"

'Oh, mahahaha, it's been a long time since we talked. I couldn't ignore the fact that you use my powers more than your dragon ones? That makes me really happy!'

"Ugh….."

'Oi, don't ignore me!'

"What do you want? Forget it why did you do it!?"

'Do what?'

"Whispering death and destruction, hell I thought we were over it, millennia ago!"

'Ah, sorry, I was half asleep and you woke me up, after 1 500 years. I was a little bit grumpy. Sorry, tehe!'

"Please sleep again, you annoying monster inside me!"

'Soon, but I want to ask you something?'

"What?"

'Kill, Five!'

Mikhail narrowed his eyes "Why?"

'Because, she is a threat to our relationship, duh!'

"And what about Ophis?"

'Well I allow her and that little accident of yours….But our relationship is better!'

"What relationship?"

'Oh come on, Mikhail! I choose you because you were his reincarnation.'

"I am not him! How many times should I say that?"

'But still, you promised me that we are one that we will live forever…'

"I know…."

'Muuh, come one, didn't you promise me, to accept me, with everything.'

"Yes, like him, I l….

'Yeah, yeah, I love you, too!'

"Ah, just shut up and I will also not kill Five!"

'Ugh, you want me jealous, hah? Little sadist, eheheheheh!'

"So, you are awake to annoy me, because?"

'Why don't you use your angels oh wait daemons….?'

"Ha, I don't know…" Mikhail ruffled his hair.

'I'm only giving you advice, darling.'

"Well, I should use them, they couldn't detect them."

'So I did well?'

"Yeah…"

'Yay! Now I will go sleep, please kill, ravish and destroy again for me!'

Mikhail raised an eyebrow.

'Whoops, still a habit, sorry. Nighty night!'

Then the Flower was silent.

"She has a point, though….." Mikhail let a sigh out "Arise, Galgaliel!" A golden seal with a six-petal flower appeared behind him. From it emerged a tall person clad in full-plat armor with. On his left hand was a big tower shield and on his other a large great sword. This was one of the Galgaliels the legion angel from Five. But on the contrary it was much stronger, intelligent and agile than before.

"You called me, Mikhail-sama?" Its voice was dull and deep.

"Galgaliel take the others and hide under every area of this town."

"Of course…" Galgaliel bowed "How much in every area?"

"5 000 of you…"

"Only so much? We are more, my lord."

"It's enough… for now."

"As you wish."

"Also, you will observe and protect our new comrades."

"Of course. What about "their" Kokabiel?"

"If you find him, do not engage, bring me only information."

"But Mikhail-sama, let us….."

"I appreciate your worry, but he is my prey, do you understand?"

The angel bowed "What about those devils?"

"Observe them and protect them, too."

"Those creatures!? The descendants of traitors!"

"Yes…you forget I'm half like them…."

"They are nothing but flukes and vermin! My lord, is this really wise, to help such insects. They are beneath you!"

"You know I am a Dragon-Flower-Hybrid, …..well they are devils…."

"There are still flukes!"

"It is okay, but Galgaliel," Mikhail turned around "Five is here.."

"What!" The angel/daemon was startled "Then we should kill her, immediately!"

"No, I will keep her!"

"But Mikhail-sama!"

"I know you and your brothers and sisters hate the Intoners but you will obey!"

Galgaliel clenched his fist "I will, but if she is threat to you, I will kill her!"

Mikhail nodded.

"Then Mikhail-sama I should prepare the other Galgaliels."

"Good, take care."

"But before…"

"Hm?"

"The Queen is curious about you…"

When Mikhail heard this, his eyes widened and he started to become nervous "Tell Metatron that she will not come to this world, or I will become really angry."

"As you wish. Take care Mikhail-sama." Then Galgaliel vanished in a golden light.

Mikhail turned around and walked towards his home.

The Devil's Flower

The dragon turned the key around and opened the door, when he walked in "I'm back!" nobody answered him. The lights were off. "No one is here?" He went into the living room and saw a notice on the table. He took it and read it "Mikhail, I and Five are gone for tonight, don't worry about it. Accord." Reading this caused Mikhail to raise an eyebrow.

Why is she gone with Five, why didn't she tell him before? Even after months of living together, that woman was still a riddle to him. He wants to trust her, really, but he couldn't.

"If she is a threat, I must kill her….." The Archdragon clenched his teeth. Those words, how many times did he tell it over his life, over many times did he make his words true. He shook his head "I need to be sane; this is my duty, as the Dragon of Chaos." He went to the shower and tried to relax. He must keep his cool, because Kokabiel will make is next step, soon.

The Devil's Flower

After a long shower, Mikhail let his sore body fall on his bed. He breathed in and out, and thought about the events in the last months. Devils, who were more civilized than their ancestors, the dragons in this world, which become so weak, that even they even lost their greatest gifts and Five.

"Honestly, how did such a thing happen?" He rolled on his back and looked on the ceiling. "This world should be guarded by the dragons, which came from his world. Once called Earth was now named Draconia, but whatever. Maybe I will find another Holy Dragon here, a female maybe?" After saying this, Mikhail shook his head "Nah, I don't think so….." He turned again around and laid his face on his pillow. The sweet scent of Five still lingered on it. "Oh man, she smells really good!" Since Mikhail had his gender back, he started to change the other dragons, too. With this he even mated with female dragons, even with other species. But in the end, he had to swallow a bitter pill. Dragons already had a low birth rate. After the war with the god, the Archdragons almost extinct and worse, his idea by sending other dragons in other worlds backfired. An example is this world, where the dragons were now a shadow of their former selves and much worse, because they used their wish for…... But he didn't want to think about it anymore….Even the high sex-drive caused by the Flower, didn't help him to have children, well almost everyone wanted his children for selfish reason…How much he tried it to find someone, who loved him, it didn't even worked one bit, but almost….. After the war was over, the Holy Dragons started to revolt against him, because of his sympathy with the humans. He didn't want to enslave them like in the old times. But his brethren attacked him and he had to slay his own species…..

"*Snif*, *sniff*…she smells almost like Zero….." After taking more of the sweet fragrance, he started to become slightly erected. 'Damn it, maybe I should visit Oph…' Before he could even end his thought, a crimson magic seal appeared in his room. He stood up and tilted his head "The Gremory Seal?" From it appeared a young beautiful woman, Rias. But her face was in disdain.

"Senpai!?"

The Gremory Heiress stood before him and started to strip.

"Wait, what are you doing!?"

"Mikhail….please take my virginity!" Then she tackled the half-naked humanoid dragon and both of them landed on the bed.

"Wow, time out, wait!" he slightly pushed her away. After a second look, he could see everything, her fair skin, her ample breast and her pink nipples. The moonlight gave her beauty more impact.

Rias looked sad and held her left arm "Am I not beautiful enough?"

"Eh, no, no!" Mikhail shook his hand before him "You are beautiful, but why are you here!?"

"Please don't ask," She leaned forwards, touching his chest "Just take me, I beg you!"

Mikhail raised an eyebrow and looked at her "Okay!" He shrugged with his shoulders and pushed her on her back, which surprised Rias.

"Eh!?" Now she could see his entire upper body. "Wow…." Despite looking very feminine and being slender, Mikhail had a sturdy body. Strong muscles with no fat, magnificent white skin without any error. When she finished looking at his body, she noticed Mikhail's eyes. He was smiling and she could lose herself in his ruby eyes.

"Don't worry," He whispered on her left ear, which caused her to shiver "Because it is your first time I will be gentle."

"Wait, what….ha~n" Then Mikhail started to suck her left nipple and fondled her right breast. "This is….!" Rias was taken aback by this feeling. She started to moan louder with every second.

"You like that?" Mikhail raised his head and started to peck her neck several times.

"No, ha~n!" Rias started to skirmish more and more 'How does he do it! Every touch every kiss is …!'

Slowly stopping to caress her neck, he started to nibble on her right ear.

'Oh, oh by the maous!'

After several seconds he looked at her beautiful blue eyes. Her face was completely red and she was sweating.

"Why did you stop?" A mix of pouting and longing was seen on her face. She breathed very heavy.

"Because of this…" He kissed her on her mouth.

"!?" His tongue wrapped around hers. She could feel his soft lips and smell the scent of flower from him. 'My, my first kiss and such a technique!'

After several minutes Rias couldn't hold her breath anymore, but she didn't want to stop. The feeling and the taste of his tongue in her mouth, his warm skin on hers, it was incredible, no electrifying!

"Hah!" Mikhail stopped the kiss and she could take a breath.

"You're okay?" He smiled at her.

"Yes, I'm sorry I couldn't hold my breath anymore." She looked away from shame.

"Nah don't worry."

Hearing this caused Rias to widen her eyes "Was it good…for you?"

"Of course, what about you?"

"….."

"Rias-senpai?"

"Kiss me again!"

"Okay!" Both of them continued.

'Ah, this is…' She entangled her arms around Mikhail. 'Perfect!'

Mikhail's hand went slowly towards her womanly part. The she-devil grabbed it and shoved it quicker under her underwear. 'Yes, yes!'

"I think that is enough, Rias….."

"Ha!?" Rias opened her eyes; Mikhail was not on her anymore. She took a sitting position and looked around. She saw him, sitting on a chair, still clothed

"What the!?"

Mikhail snorted, "Do you really think I would be tempt by this, seriously?"

The crimson haired girl took one of the bed sheets and covered herself "Illusion Magic…."

"Hn…" He nodded. "Tell me, if you want to do this, why not Issei? He, at least, wouldn't ask himself or you by doing this…"

"Doing what?"

"Degrading yourself...girl…." Mikhail's gaze was cold as ice, his upper body leaned backwards on the chair and he cracked his neck.

"…." The girl looked away, in painful manner.

"No answers, very well, then let me ask you something. Are you pushed to do what you don't want to do?"

"…."

"You know, I can read the mimic of a person…."

The girl looked towards the dragon and sighed "Please Mikhail, take me, defile me, do what….ow!" Before she could end the sentence she was chopped on her head. "That hurts!"

"Don't you value yourself, seriously!?"

"Guh!"

"And do you really think I would do such a thing, that I would succumb to my basic urges, like Issei!"

"…I am sorry…"

"*Sigh*," Mikhail ruffled his hair and sighed "Rias, you know doing such a thing, and try to seduce me, makes me really want to smack you really hard."

She flinched back.

"But I refrain from doing such a thing, but why do you do something like that, this is not you!"

"I…I…"

"I, what!"

Tears started to flow from her eyes and she began to cry "I…please….."

The host of the Black Flower shook his head "Rias I gave you a chance in more than one aspect, please talk with me.

"Mikhail….I am sorry, but….." She grabbed the sheet, almost tearing it apart. Many lacrimal drops fell from her cheeks

He sighed again, than he turned around "Whoever you are, you can come out…"

The moment he said that, a woman emerged from a white seal. She looked like to be in her early twenties, with silver hair and matching eyes. Her hair, flowed all the way down to her back, features a long braid on each side with small blue bows at the ends, ending in twin braids. She wore a blue and white French maid outfit with long sleeves and a white maid headband over her head, with red lipstick. Mikhail was slightly taken back, not only by her beauty, also from her aura and power. But this is not the time to be fascinated.

"Grayfia…" Rias bit her lip.

The maid opened her eyes and looked at the Gremory heiress "Ojou-sama…"

Mikhail looked to Rias than to the maid called Grayfia.

"Sirzechs-sama and your father feared something like that would happen and because of this, I received the order to watch over you and take you back home." Her face was stoic and she spoke in a professional tone.

"I…understand…."

"Ahem, I am sorry to barge in, Miss….?" Mikhail's voice was slightly irritated, not because of this farce; it was because something stepped in his home, his room. No dragon likes that, it's like a slap to the face…..

"Grayfia, Grayfia Lucifuge, I am the head maid of the Gremory Family." The maid bowed towards him.

"Mikhail Utahime, I would say it is a pleasure to meet you, but…." His gaze turned towards the crying girl…

Grayfia resist the urge to sigh "Likewise."

"I think she is a little bit….. exhausted from some events….maybe…"

"I understand, thank you very much." Grayfia walked towards Rias, while picking up her clothes and handed them over to her.

"Ojou-sama, I think we should go home and talk with Sirzechs-sama."

The heiress didn't answer; she just nodded and took the clothes.

The Archdragon looked several times between Rias and the maid again.

"Thank you, Utahime-san."

"Eh, for what?"

"That you resist her attempt…..."

"Ah that….Well it was not the first time that something like that happens…"

The maid raise an eyebrow "But why the illusion?"

"Because I wanted to know, how much further I could go? I am sorry I always do this in critical situation and just observe…"

"…Very well, I'll let it be…"

Mikhail nodded and turned towards the girl. "Rias?"

"Mnh?"

"What is going on? Why is she here?"

The Heiress looked away, took her clothes and walked towards the maid.

"I'm sorry, I will explain it tomorrow, I promise…."

"Hn."

"Ojou-sama." The maid called out.

"I am ready…"

…..

Mikhail stood for several seconds, turned around and let himself fall on his bed. "Are you serious!? What just happened!?"
