Once Upon A Time
Chapter Six: Phoenix and the Nightmare.
A loud yawning noise could be heard after the bell finally rang, signaling the end of class, Dante had leaned back in his chair and stretched after his nice long nap in Freed's class. It's funny having your teacher live with you yet know ten times more than they do about anything.
After taking a few minutes to stretch, Dante finally got up and pushed his chair back in before he started his stride to the door, might as well go to the clubroom to skip the rest of class. That reminds him, he was going to see if Asia and Freed wanted to become part of Rias's little group of devils so they are more protected. That's the very least he could do for those two seeing how he's able to protect himself but not always them.
Upon making his way to the exit of the classroom, he stopped to look over his shoulder, his eyes stopping upon the desk Issei used to sit at, staring intensely before sighing. He almost forgot, he's got to go the funeral soon.
"Damn…" Turning his head away as his face turned into a frown, he left with his hands in his pockets and headed towards the clubroom so he could go open his little lockbox and or safe in that room he asked to move in there for safe keeping. Not that he didn't trust Freed or Asia, it's just things in there shouldn't be used or even seen by anyone else than Dante.
On his way to the clubroom, Dante was stopped multiple times by groups of people, ranging from fan girls to pissed off boys in the population of the school, all in all, Dante had to take the long way to the clubroom today, and when he arrived, what he heard outside the door did not bode well for anyone, especially for the person saying these things.
"Rias my dearest wife, after I am done with you, I'd move on and down the line to your servants, and I'd save the little snow angel for last." That one comment irked him to the point of no return. Actually, he wouldn't be surprised if the entire school could see the amount of killing intent emanating from the old school building. Due to the large amount, his aura flaring higher and higher every passing second as he let that comment fester. Everyone in that room, well, except for the oblivious commenter who was still caring on with a small speech of something stupid, felt the room's temperature drop and continue to drop exponentially. Then a loud shriek of anger was heard right outside the door.
"WHAT!?"
Then the door was sailing into the room from a magically enhanced kick to said door, sending it flying straight into the little prick that said that about his Koneko, and even further as it hit the wall and went through said wall, leaving a door shaped hole there. "AND DON'T COME BACK FUCKTARD!" Was what Dante yelled in hostilities, keeping himself restrained from going through that hole he made to neuter the son-of-a-bitch.
Rias was on the floor, holding her hand behind her head to cover herself from any sort of extra, and then her voice reached out in fear. "I-i-i-is…is it over?"
The response she got was a simple groan from Riser on the outside of the building, and a few drops of rubble that was created from the hole. "…"
Silence took the entire room, Kiba and Koneko were in the corner holding each other, or, more or less, Kiba jumped into Koneko's arms out of fear of what just happened, and Koneko was holding him a bit fearful of this as well.
Akeno was on the other side of one of the couches and hiding for a moment before looking over to everyone with a wary face. As much as she liked Dante, he was really destructive sometimes.
While the silver haired maid in the room was wide eyed by the sudden intrusion and outburst, slowly, they all looked over at the one who caused this to happen and seen standing in the door way was the snow white haired male, anger stricken on his face, slowly he changed his stance and sighed in relief. "That felt pretty good…" He finally said, breaking the almost everlasting silence with a smile. This gained him a sigh from most of the room occupiants other than the maid who was overly confused at the moment. Everyone went back to their normal moment, Akeno was sitting on the couch with Koneko, Kiba sitting on the other couch next to Rias and Dante moved next to the door way, leaning his back against it and kicking his shoot up, letting the bottom of it rest against the wall.
"So…who was that I just sent through the wall?" Dante asked curiously and Kiba turned to him with that normal Casanova smile.
"That was Riser Phoenix, Rias's supposed Fiancé." He explained and in return he got a nod and a "ah" from Dante. Who then looked to Koneko and smiled before say, "Are you okay Kone-chan?" He asked giving her a pet name, and this just sent waves of confusion further into the silver-haired woman. Koneko gave a light nod to Dante before going back to eating her sweets before the question was finally asked.
"Um, Lady Rias, is this man part of your peerage?" She asked curiously looking to the red head of the room.
"Yes, he's my pawn...though he's only a temporary…for now." Leaving that last bit down played with a whisper so she thought only the devils in the room could hear her, what she didn't suspect is that Dante heard her and grinned.
"Ain't dying anytime soon Rias so don't start making plans for my funeral yet." He told her with a grin making her blush and making ultimate queen tilt her head.
"What do you mean Temporary?" She asked, still completely confused on this enigma of a person.
"It's simple. Look at Rias's hand, me and her, we have a contract and that signifies it. Until one of us Voids said contract, it's in effect. Meaning I'm allowed to do anything that involves her or her peerage, such as rating games while I also hold onto a pawn piece. Now I'm also contractually obligated to her as a mercenary, that sort of thing. Really it's a, "you help me, I help you," sort of deal going on. I gain information and sometimes cash from this, and she gains a powerful piece at the price of a single pawn…for a certain amount of time, but, this does NOT give her control of my life." He explained with a half grin.
"…" Taking a quick glance at the strange mark on Rias's hand, she looked it over before eyes widening in recognition of that mark, she looked at him and narrowed her eyes. "Blood magic…"
Gaining a gasp from the room, he quirked a brow before smirking. "Half right, Blood and Void magic." He spoke nicely before leaning further back as they all heard another groan before the blonde bastard walked through the door. "What hit me?" he asked as he stumbled through the door way.
"That would have been me Riser…and next time you talk about Koneko-chan like that I'll castrate you and stick a 5 foot pole so far up your ass you'll go gay." He explained with a very low and threatening tone. Actually, his aura gave off that of someone looking into the eyes of the actual living and breathing Grim Reaper himself. Everyone was getting ready to take cover again before they noticed Riser growl in anger and raise his voice. Oh the poor bastard had no idea what he was in for.
"And just who do you think you are you lowly de-"Being cut off Dante smirked.
"Human, and another thing, watches your tone with me, unless you don't like being a male…" He growled a little louder with more hostilities before Grayfia, or other side known as the maid finally spoke.
"I would not recommend that sir, Sir Riser is a high class devil." She warned before she seen his grin and his full aura flare, this dropped Riser to his knees and almost made her fall. Rias sighed as he was concentrating it just on those two, but she and everyone else could feel the after effects.
"Grayfia, I must tell you my pawn here is a lot stronger than you take him to be, sure he is human and does have a high aptitude for magic, but, he gained a status we wouldn't want to play around with…he's an ultimate class hunter.." Rias finally told them and then the deathly aura let up.
Smirking and looking away before he crossed his arms in front of everyone he allowed that information sink in, this made the maid wide eyed, but this pissed Riser off and he did the unthinkable. He sent a punch up and slammed it into Dante's cheek. The only thing he succeeded to do sadly, for him anyways, was make him look away another inch before he slowly looked towards the Phoenix.
"3…" Koneko started, already used to this kind of thing as she's seen what Dante does to idiots who fuck with him, hell he once did it to Issei when they first met.
"…2" Akeno seconded that as she grinned, gaining a warm feeling as she knows she's about to witness something very much a…turn on for her.
"1…" Dante finished before he shot his leg around and slammed it into Riser's crotch before grabbing him by the sides of the head and slamming his knee into his face. Then, before anything else, he grabbed Riser by the face and grinned. "TIME TO PLAY!" He said in a devilishly loud voice before picking the bird brain off the ground and sending him flying out the large hole in the wall, but already following after to tear him to shreds.
"Akeno, if you would…" She asked with a sigh before looking around. "Actually, could both you and Akeno put up a barrier, I'm afraid we may be left with one big mess…" She said with a sigh letting her face slam down onto the desk.
Grayfia nodded and did as asked this one time still confused before they all started to stand up and start to pile out of the building to go watch the slau- I mean fight between the fiery immortal bird, at the yellowed eyed demon.
Well, this was short...huh, I thought it was longer...meh, whatever. So yeah...Um, seriously though, I hope people will start answering the questions I give... seriously...
Enough of my bitching through. Hope you enjoyed this...short and boring (compared to the rest of the story.) So uh, um...Know what you know the drill, I don't own anything but Dante.
