Co-Author's rant: I'm VuTrungThanh, Varange's co-writer. Due to some... real life problems, Varange is having quite a large mental break down so I wil temporarily take over our work for now. I will try my best to imitate Varange's ways of writing but since my writing skill is pretty pathetic, I hope I can manage it... Anyway, I WILL keep this story going no matter what so until Varange recover, please bare with me for the time being.
To be honest, I intend to work on this update a little later since in our plan, "Sarishinohara" and "The Ring Wizard champion" are on top of the list but somehow, now this update came out sooner... *sigh*
And by the way... MUFFLER HAS THE SAME AS SCARF, NOT SOME CAR'S PARTS, DAMN IT!
Okay, enough ranting. Let's get the show on the roll!
Chapter 8: The nightmare, Akeno and the 'Holy Maiden' operation
[Unknown place]
When Rias opened her eyes, she found herself sitting on a bench in a small park near Kuoh Academy while at the same time, she felt something warm wrapped around her shoulders and when she looked up...
"Wa... Wataru-kun!" gasped Rias loudly as her face now was as red as her hair.
... She saw Wataru was sitting beside her with his right arm around her shoulders as a loving smile plastering on his face. Looking down, she saw that both her and Wataru was wearing in one long muffler for two people. This only made her face now donned a new shade of red that could even surpass her crimson hair.
"Do you like our date, Rias-koi?" asked Wataru huskily and despite not understanding what was going on here, Rias's head nodded rapidly as her heart now was going wild in her chest. How could she ended up here? This was just a dream right? Right?
"No, this is not a dream, Rias-koi" said Wataru lovingly as Rias's blush just kept becoming redder and redder due to the affectionate suffix Wataru used.
Suddenly, Wataru kneeled down in front of Rias which made the hormonal teenage devil's heart wanted to burst out of her chest as she thought about what he would talk
"Rias-koi..." said Wataru as he took out a small red heart-shaped box out of his pocket and opened it, revealing a pair of rings in the box "... Will you marry me?"
And then it happened
Before Rias's brain could come up with an answer for this sudden turned of event, five light spears had impaled Wataru's torso as said boy fell lifelessly into a pool of his own blood while black feathers started falling from the night sky
"WATARU-KUN!" wailed Rias
[Rias's bedroom]
"WATARU-KUN!" wailed Rias as she opened her eyes in shock only to see the familiar ceiling of her bedroom. Sitting up from her bed, Rias glanced at her Hello Kitty clock to find that it was only near two in the morning.
"...It's... it's just a nightmare..." sighed Rias in relief as she lied back into her bed. There was no way that something like that would happen. Wataru would never just propose to her (not that she minded, to be honest) out of the blue like that and Wataru surely wouldn't be easily killed by some Fallen Angel...
'... But... but why... am I feeling so hurt when I think about his d... death?' thought Rias as her left hand clenched her chest tightly '... And why... do I feel so worried now?'
[At the same time, at Kurenai-Tendou-Souma-Arisato-Hino-Tsugami household]
Wataru was very angry... No, scratch that, he was beyond pissed right now
The reason? He had just finished reading the folder contained all the information about Asia Argento that Daiki managed to gather for him.
A sweet girl was shunned, abandoned and left to the wolves of Fallen Angels and 'Exiled Exorcists' because she had done the right thing which was saving a live?
A sweet girl was deemed as a heretic, a witch just because she had unknowingly healed a Devil?
If it wasn't for Yoko calmed him down, the Catholic Church would have been completely destroyed and all of those so-called 'Followers of God' would have been mercilessly slaughtered by now.
"Calm down Wataru-kun" said Yoko gently as the Kyuubi put her hand on his shoulder. Taking in a deep breath in order to calm himself, Wataru said coldly after giving the kitsune a thankful nod
"... Kabuto..." said Wataru as Souji slowly stood up from his seat
"... Ozu..." Eiji quickly followed
"... and Wizard..." now it was Haruto's turn to stand up
"... You three are with me in this operation... Minato... Give me your best plan you can think..."
"Hai!" said Souji, Eiji, Haruto and Minato.
[Kuoh Academy,Occult Research clubroom, two days after the meeting between Minato, Wataru and Asia]
*CLICK*
"Hello... Oh, Akeno-san..."
When Wataru opened the door of the ORC's clubroom, Rias was nowhere to be seen as the only person in the room was Akeno who was making tea while humming a happy melody. He had asked both Rias and Sona to meet him after school in order to tell them about his operation but it seemed he had to wait for a little while. Though with only his and Akeno's presence, this might be a chance for him to ask Akeno about one thing that he had noticed about her
"Konbawa, Wataru-sama. Rias-sama is out for a request at the moment. Please have a seat." Turning toward Wataru, Akeno said happily with a bright smile while Wataru's eyebrow from the way the black hair beauty called him as minute later, Akeno brought out a tray which had two steaming teacup along some sweets on it.
"Here's your tea, Wataru-sama"
"Ah, thank you Akeno-san" said Wataru as he turned the cup three times before taking a sip of the slight bitter liquid and put the cup down "... Ah, this tea is much better than the last tea you offered me, Akeno-san"
"Ufufu, thank you very much, Wataru-sama" giggled Akeno "Is my tea better than Souji-san's tea now?"
"Unfortunately, no." said Wataru which made Akeno pouted "That's aside. Why did you start calling me 'Wataru-sama' ?. This morning you still called me 'Wataru-kun' normally."
Suddenly, Akeno stood up from her seat and she seductively walked to Wataru, who suddenly felt a little bit nervous due to the way Akeno acted, and sat on his laps with her legs set on the right side of Wataru's legs while her arms wrapped around his neck.
"Wataru-sama, why didn't you come to the Stray Devil hunt last time?" Said Akebo huskily into his ear
"... Uh... Something suddenly come up so I had to change the plan..." Said Wataru as he managed to keep his voice from stuttering "... I also had to ask Haruto to retrieve the Stray's memory for me..."
"... Though I consider that was really a blessing in disguise..." Continued Akeno as her voice became more seductive "... It's all thanked to Haruto-san..."
"... Uh... So, could you elaborate me more?" Wataru couldn't help but ask curiously despite the fact that Akeno started pressing her bountiful breasts onto his firm chest which made her let out a small moan
"Uum... Rias did tell you that I am a super sadist, right... In fact..." Said Akeno with another moan "... I am also a little bit of a masochist. And in that Stray hunt, when Rias-sama said that I was a super sadist, Haruto-san said that if I was a super sadist then you would be a 'Closet Ultra Hyper Super sadist'..."
"See! Even our comrade consider you as a sadist!" yelled Sukouru in Wataru's mind as a tick mark appeared on Wataru's head
'Care to repeat what you just said, fishcake?' asked Wataru mentally in a scary tone
"Nothing at all! Don't mind me!"
'Good'
Totally oblivious to the short 'conversation' between Wataru and his inner self, Akeno continued huskily
"... And since that time, everytime I think about you, I couldn't help but felt my body become hotter and hotter. Even now, in this position, I'm not only want to bully you, but also really want to be tamed by a 'Closet Ultra Hyper Super sadist'... What is this feeling I am having now?... Is it love?"
"If it's love then it will be the most twisted love I have ever seen." Commented Sukouru offhandedly as Wataru's eyebrow twitched as he decided to stop this
"Ok, I am not a 'Closet Ultra Hyper Super sadist' like Haruto said so please stop teasing me, Akeno-san. And stop calling me 'Wataru-sama' by the way." said Wataru as he dropped Akeno on the seat next to him and Akeno's pout quickly turned into a mischievous smile
"You can't push me away forever, Wataru-sama. I can't wait until the day I lie helplessly on a bed under your mercy with my tongue stuck out waiting for my..."
"Okay, that's too far now, Akeno-san. Please stop at there." Said Wataru tiredly yet firmly as he moved himself to the sofa on the opposite side of the table. Honestly, Akeno reminded Wataru too much about Miyako...
'Nah. She may be even worse than Miyako-chan' thought Wataru as he thought about his blunette archer friend
Oblivious to Wataru's thought, Akeno pouted
"You're no fun, Wataru-sama"
"Stop calling me '-sama', please" said Wataru tiredly
"Call me 'Akeno-chan' and I will stop calling you 'Wataru-sama'." Said Akeno playfully
"... Fine, Akeno...-chan" said Wataru tiredly
"Thank you, Goshujin-sama!" said Akeno and Wataru face-palmed which made Akeno giggled.
[Somewhere else]
Suddenly, a pink hair kitsune girl who was clad in a blue battle kimono went stiffed which made her companion asked curiously
"What's the problem, Caster?" asked her companion who was a girl that looked very similar to Arturia, excepted that she was clad in a quite revealing long red battle dress to the point that everyone could see her white panties through the white veil.
"Yes. I can sense something... or rather someone is trying to take my spot..." growled Caster dangerously "... If I ever get my hands on that damn little wench... I will show her that Izanami's fury is pale compare to mine! I will make that wench beg me to kill her! And then I will fuck my Goshujin-sama! And then fuck him some more!"
[Back to Wataru]
"...Urgh... Just call me whatever you want, Akeno-san..." said Wataru tiredly "... Anyway, do you mind if I ask you a question, Akeno-san? "
"Not at all. What is it, Wataru-sama?" said Akeno slyly but Wataru decided to ignore it. Taking in a long breath, Wataru said seriously while looking straight in her eyes
"... Are you part Fallen Angel, Akeno-san?
In a very brief moment, the smile plastering on the black hair beauty vanished as the look in her eyes hardened. After a long silence, Akeno spoke again
"... How do you know?" whispered Akeno as her head hung down with her hair overshadowed her eyes
"It's just a guest, to be honest... I can sense other people's energy signature... And your energy signature... I can sense it has some traces of Light energy that are similar to Fallen Angel... Though somehow, your energy signature has some similarities with a Fallen Angel's that I had met once... His name is Baraqiel..." said Wataru slowly as hearing the name of the person Akeno hated the most made Akeno's eyes widen "... Are you his relative?"
"How do you know that... that 'man'?" cut off Akeno as the 'man' part was spat venomously by the black hair beauty. Somehow, Wataru had a distant feeling he was going to regret if he tell her the truth.
"I... met Baraqiel four months ago when I was a student of Kawakami High..." said Wataru carefully as he dropped out the part that Shouichi had nearly reduced said Fallen Angel into a mere lump of meat... literally.
"... I see..." said Akeno curtly. She had always tried to hide that from everyone and even though she had just known Wataru for more than a week, Akeno had grown attached to her classmate and he quickly became the last person Akeno wanted to know about the Fallen Angel blood, which she hated with all her heart, flowing in her veins.
To Akeno, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that the time she had spent with the brunette sitting in front of her had been one of the best time in her life. Having conversation with him. Asking about the lessons in classes. He helped her in the music class. Hugging him everytime she could in order to tease/annoy Aoko, and her Buchou to some extents. Twisting his words's meaning and teasing him non-stop. And even one time when she had secretly followed/stalked him when he had been in patrol in the night. All those time had helped her understand a little more about the mysterious young man's nature: calm, sincere, kind, caring and protective and Akeno couldn't help but be attracted to him. Despite having what could be considered as 'mistress fetish', there had been one time Akeno's mind had screamed jealously at Aoko and wanted Wataru to look at her and her alone when Akeno had seen Wataru talking and laughing with Aoko...
But now, with Wataru knew about her origin, Akeno couldn't help but felt like her heart was breaking apart and she could feel her eyes started watering...
She was scared
She was scared that Wataru would left her because he wanted nothing to do with... with a disgusting... creature who bore both the Fallen Angel wing and devil on her back and disgusting Fallen Angel blood in her veins...
Suddenly, Akeno's eyes widened when she felt Wataru's hand gently held her hand on the table as said person said apologetically
"Akeno-san, I'm sorry for bringing up your bad memories. You don't have to answer me if you don't want to..." said Wataru in a gentle voice "... I promise that I will tell no one about your status as part Fallen Angel. But please, look at me when I say this Akeno-san..."
When the black hair beauty finally brought her head up and looked into his eyes with her watered eyes, Wataru took in a deep breath.
"I don't hate Fallen Angel, and I never judge anyone by their origin or what they are." Said Wataru with his rare warm and sincere smile as Akeno was shocked by what Wataru said "No matter what happen, you are, and always will be Himejima Akeno, a happy, sweet and sadistic yet kind girl who always cares for her friends and enjoys teasing and flirting others, not to mention trying to surpass Souji in making tea, too."
"… Is it really okay?..." Whispered Akeno after recovering from her shock as tears kept escaping her eyelids "... I have Fallen Angel blood flowing through my veins. Among the Three Factions, the Fallen Angels are considered the most untrustworthy. Don't you think that maybe I am just trying to get you to pity me with my tears?"
Taking out his handkerchief, Wataru sat down next to Akeno and gently wiped away the tears staining on her beautiful face.
"We may only have known each other for more than a week Akeno-san, but I KNOW that you are not that kind of person. Sadistic, yes. But clearly you're a kind person at heart" said Wataru sincerely with a small chuckle as he put away his handkerchief "From now on, please smile more, okay? Tears aren't suited with such a beautiful girl like you, Akeno-san."
"... Do you... really mean it?" Asked Akeno quietly as she felt her heart was beating strongly against her chest while her face now had a shade of red that no tomato could archieve.
"Yes, I mean it." Said Wataru sincerely with his rare sincere smile and that was all Akeno wanted to know.
Suddenly, Akeno's arms wrapped firmly around Wataru's neck and pulled him toward her which led to Wataru, who had been caught off guard by Akeno's sudden action, now found himself was on top of the black hair queen with his hands on either side of her head supporting him while said girl was lying on the sofa with her arms on Wataru's neck and held him firmly in place.
"... Um... Akeno-san... Can you please let me go?" Asked Wataru nervously. As much as he wanted to get out of this position before anyone saw their position and might get wrong ideas, Akeno really had a very strong grip and he didn't want to use too much force since he didn't want to hurt the black hair Queen.
"... Wataru-kun... You said some killing words... " whispered Akeno quietly as her smile finally came back to her face "... After hearing what you said... There's no way I wouldn't get serious..."
"... Umm... What..." Said Wataru with a hint of nervous in his voice
"... I have decided..." Continued Akeno "The first and second spot might have already been taken by Yoko-san and Aoko-san... Which means..."
Once again, Wataru was suddenly pulled down by Akeno which made him now completely laid on top of her as his face now was really close to her face
" Wataru-kun... I don't mind being the third!"
"What!" yelped Wataru in shock. While he had no problem in dealing with the way Akeno used to tease him thanked to the time he had spent with Yoko but this was a whole new level!
"... To be honest, it is quite a very tempting position to me... " continued Akeno huskily as her legs now wrapped tightly around his waist as she used all her strength to hold Wataru on top of her "... All the hot passion and unfaithful feeling... Ufufufu, just think about it make my body feel so hot right now... And maybe, I will even become..."
"Become what, Akeno?"
Suddenly, the air in the room went cold as the door of the clubroom was opened violently and standing at the door were two clearly angry girls, Rias and Sona as both of them were emitting two frightening aura with two different colours: Crimson for Rias's and pale blue for Sona's
"I repeat: Become what, Akeno?" said Rias in a scary tone as she glared at the sight in front of her eyes: On the sofa was Akeno who had a large smile on her face as her arms and her legs wrapped tightly around Wataru's neck and waist as said person was completely lying on top of Akeno.
"Lewd acts are highly forbidden in Kuoh Academy..." said Sona coldly as she directed her glare toward the pair on the sofa
"Wait! It's not what you think... I... Akeno-san... We..." sputtered Wataru comically after quickly jumped out of Akeno's grip which made said girl pouted
"Ara, Buchou and Kaichou, can you please come back later? I am having a really good time with Wataru-sama here" said Akeno with a sensual moan as she laced onto Wataru's back which brought some tick marks on both Rias's and Sona's forehead. Deciding to ignore her super sadist queen for the time being, Rias turned to Wataru who once again managed to escape Akeno's advantage, much to Rias's as well as Sona's pleasure
"...Anyway, why do you want to meet both of us so urgently, Wataru?" said Rias without using the '-kun' suffix, a sign showing that she was very displeased right now
"Ah yes." Said Wataru seriously after fixing his muffler "... The reason for this urgent meeting is... My group have finally found the base of the Fallen Angel and tonight, my group will launch a surprise attack into their base"
[Time skip, that night, not very far from the abandoned church]
"Hey Wataru" asked Eiji who now was clad in his black trench coat with black clothing underneath "Can I ask you a question? You don't have to answer if you don't want to"
"Shoot" said Wataru as he observed the blueprint of the abandoned church provided by Daiki carefully.
"What are you going to do with the priests inside? And why do you want to capture the Fallen Angels alive?"asked Eiji
"Did you realize that you just asked me two questions?" asked Wataru rhetorically which made Eiji scratched his head sheepishly
Arcording to Daiki's report, except Asia, there were four Fallen Angels, an insane stray priest/exorcist named Freed Sellzen and a small number of priests resided in the abandoned church. While Wataru wasn't worried about the Fallen Angels, he was worried about the priests. While they might be on the Fallen Angel side, they were still human and Wataru never wanted to kill human except if he had no other choice.
"About the priests... " said Wataru thoughtfully before he turned to Haruto who was munching a donut coming from who-know-where "... Are you sure you can knock all of them out, Haruto?"
"Yes, and that's the third time you ask me that" said Haruto annoyingly "By the way, are you sure you don't want to let Aoko join this mission? She is clearly very displeased with you"
"I know, I know" sighed Wataru "About Aoko, while in fact I do want to let her join, I don't want her to blow up the church with her magic missles. That's just too risky. And for the reason I want to capture them alive... Well, I want to confirm a suspicion about a certain crow with the name Kobakiel"
"... I see" said Eiji as Haruto silently continued munching his donut
"By the way, where is Souji?" asked Wataru as he looked at his watch "He should be here five minutes ago..."
And then the answer came
"Because I 'offered' him to let me go in his place so that he can have more rest' said Aoko which nearly made Wataru, Eiji and Haruto jumped in surprise. Turning his head around, he saw Aoko, who was clad in a sleeveless short dress with black long-sleeved shirt underneath, long black stockings and red shoes, stood behind him with an indifferent face
"... Beautiful..." said Wataru unconciously as he couldn't help but marvelled the girl standing in front of him while said girl blushed furiously after hearing his praise
"Hmpp! A... As if I would believe your sweet words!" said Aoko as she folded her arms and looked away in a cute Tsundere pose, much to Wataru's amusement. In spite of having aggressive personality, Aoko in fact was also very caring and sweet, as long as nobody called her...
"Wow, Miss Blue decided to join our cause!" said Haruto nonchalantly which earned him a prana reinforced punch to his chin coming from a very displeased Aoko
... that.
"What did I tell you about calling me by that ?" Growled Aoko. She always felt annoyed everytime people called her by that nickname/alias, Miss Blue... Well, excepted Wataru but no way she would let him know that.
"Something I had already fogotten months ago" shrugged Haruto as he rubbed his sore chin while jumping back in order to avoid a kick to his groin.
As the 'argument' between Haruto and Aoko continued, Wataru's mind started thinking about the meeting between him, Rias and Sona this afternoon
[Flashback]
"NO! I will not allow it!" Yelled Rias as she slammed her hands on the table, hard.
Raising his eyebrow, Wataru asked calmly after taking a sip from his freahly brewed tea made by Akeno while said person was standing next to the table with an empty tray in her hands. At the same time, Sona was sitting next to Rias while looking at him oddly
"What do you mean by that?"
"I mean exactly what I said!" Continued Rias loudly as for a few brief seconds, Wataru could swear that he saw a hint of worry, concern and even afraid in her eyes, which confused him greatly. "Don't you know that the church is an enemy teritory?! It's dangerous! As the person who is in charged of this teritory, I do not allow you to attack the Fallen Angel's base!"
"I also have to agree with my rival no matter how much I hate it, Wataru-san" said Sona somberly as Wataru could also feel a hint of concern in her eyes despise her business tone " We have no idea what those Fallen..."
Before Sona could finish her speech, Wataru stopped her with a raise of his right hand
"It seems both of you misunderstand the purpose of this meeting, Rias-san, Sona-san" said Wataru seriously "I don't have this meeting in order to ASK for your permission to attack that base. This meeting's purpose is to INFORM you about our group's attack. Now you know about our operation, I will take my leave."
"But you're a devil and more importantly, this is my teritory! What your group is going to do may cause a spark to begin a war between Devils and Fallen Angels! And but the most important thing is that we have no information about what those Fallen Angels resides in the base have under their sleeves! You may die!" cried Rias as she held onto his left arm tightly before Wataru could stand up and Wataru could swear that he felt her voice became more and more pleading, which only confused him more "Please Wataru-kun! Stop this operation!"
Gently pried Rias's hands off his left arm, Wataru said calmly
"First of all, I said 'You can see me as a devil' and more importantly, I never say I belong to the Devil Faction so to be honest, I'm not really care if Devil Faction and Fallen Angel Faction go into a war or not." This revealation made Rias, Akeno and Sona shocked to their core "All I care is that there is a lonely girl who happened to be my new friend is in there and in great darger. And I will never forgive myself if I can't protect her. If you don't want to help, fine. But if anyone of you think about standing in the way of our group's operation... "
Without saying anything more, Wataru silently left the room leaving behind three shocked she-devils in the clubroom.
[Flashback end]
"Okay you two, stop it now" said Wataru tiredly yet seriously"Are all of you know all the details you need to know in this operation?"
"Clear as day" said Haruto as his sword gun appeared in his hand
"100%" said Eiji as he took out three grey silver coins
"Already known" said Aoko
"Well then..." said Wataru as the black mask now completely covered his face "... Operation 'Holy Maiden' start... now!"
"Hai, Kiva!" cried Eiji, Haruto and Aoko
[In the church]
"It's boring" said one of the Fallen Angel with a bore look on his face
"Just shut up, Donaseek!" said another Fallen Angel who had loli figure and blond hair styled in twin short side ponytails.
"Have any of you seen that freak exorcist named Freed, Millett?" said the third Fallen Angel who also had a boring look on her face
"That freak said he went to hunt some shitty devils, Kalawarner. He also pulled that blond nun with him." Said Millett venomously. Despite loathing that maniac, Millett couldn't kill him due to his use.
Suddenly, sounds of grumbling could be heard from above the three Fallen Angel or more precisely, the first floor of the abandoned church
"What the hell did those priests do upthere?" grumbled Millett "Go and take a look, Donaseek"
"Why the hell should I go, Loli?" sneered the male Fallen Angel
" Because you complained it was boring! Now it's your chance to kill your problem! Now get your ass of and go!" shot back Millettt
[Twenty minutes later]
"Why the hell does it take so long?!" cried Millett angrily. It had been twenty minutes and Donaseek still hadn't come back. She swore she would shoved her light spear into that battle maniac's ass the moment he came back here.
"... Go with me Millett. It's too silent up there. There must be something wrong" said Kalawarner as both of them cautiously went to the first floor and the scene in front of their eyes shocked them to their cores: All the priests were unconcious as they laid on the ground while a bloody Donaseek could be seen hanged on the ceiling by his left leg. But before both the Fallen Angel could do anything, two hands grapped their head from behind and slammed them together, knocking them unconcious.
"Once again, Minato did a wonderful job in making a perfect strategy" complied a somewhat tired Haruto due to overusing his Sleep Ring. The plan was very... well, more like too simple: Haruto and Eiji went in first and knocked out the priests. Hearing the commotion, one of the Fallen Angels would come to check and when their the rest waited too long for his/her return, they would check the commotion themselves and all Wataru had to do was knock them out for the count.
"That's our Fool!" laughed Eiji. At this moment, everyone could clearly see his muscles had somehow developed to the point that his muscles could made any bodybuilder die because of jealousy. Eiji now was also armed with two large grey silver gauntlets, dull grey shoulder-guards and leg-guards, a silver breastplate and a strange helm that had a silver horn on the top.
"Except he didn't plan about that blond Sister isn't present here at the moment" said Aoko sarcastically. After learning that Asia wasn't in the church from the male Fallen Angel, Wataru had quickly dashed to the town in order to find her and also contacted Souji, Shouichi and Minato to help him cover more ground.
"Well, that's really unexpected" admitted Eiji "But at least you should give him more credit, Mis... Eh, I mean Aoko-san."
"Yes, yes I know." Said Aoko as she waved her hand dismissively "Okay, now can you two keep your eyes on these guys? I will handle the last one"
"Just don't blow up this church..." said Haruto before let out a curse "Damn, I'm out of plain sugar donuts right now!"
[Back to Wataru]
At the moment, if anyone was still awake and take a look at the streets, they could see a black blur dashed on the streets in an inhuman speed and that blur was none other than Kurenai-Pendragon Wataru in his For Someone's Glory mutant form. As his legs kept running, Wataru took out his cellphone
"Report in, team!"
"No sign of the Sister in the north, reporting in." Said Souji
"No sign of Asia-san in the west, reporting in." Said Shouichi
"No sign of her in the south, reporting in." Said Minato
Letting out a curse, Wataru ordered through his cellphone
"Expanding the searching area and continue searching! Contact me immediately when you notice anything strange!"
"On it./Hai!/Affirmative." Said Souji, Shouichi and Minato
Putting away his cellphone, Wataru pumped more prana into his legs and increased his speed. He had run for an hour non-stop in the eastern part of the city and still hadn't found any trace of the blond Sister. 'Just where the hell did that insane exorcist drag Asia-san to anyway?!' cried Wataru angrily in his mind
'Wataru! The apartment at two o'clock direction! I sense something strange at there!' said Sukouru in his mind. Quickly take a glance at said apartment, Wataru could feel a poor barrier surrounding said apartment. Dashing toward the apartment and expanding his senses, Wataru could feel the presence of Asia along with an unknown presence that he assumed was Freed's presence and surprisingly, the presence of Hyoudou Issei, Rias's Pawn and all of Rias's peerage. In a milisecond, Wataru had a small hesistation but he quickly pushed it aside. Asia might be in danger now and he had no time for those petty hesistation!
'Please, let me borrow your power for a short while, Diarmuid-nii' thought Wataru as a two meter long crimson spear which was wrapped in a talisman cloth appeared in his right hand.
Gae Dearg: Crimson Rose of Exorcism was the name of the spear. Compared to Gae Bolg, Gae Dearg might be weaker but its ability to render magical enhancements and projections useless by severing all ties with prana or any kind of energy made Gae Dearg become one of Wataru's most favorite Noble Phantasm. After taking off the cloth, Wataru arched his back as he Reinforced the spear with prana and hurled the spear toward the barrier.
[In the apartment]
Rias was very angry.
Just this morning, her Wataru-kun had come and informed her that he would launch a surprise attack at the base of the Fallen Angel's base which was an abandoned church. Despite her pleading, her Wataru-kun hadn't listen!
Why hadn't he listen to her?!
Didn't he know or understand how much she worried about him?!
And now... a stray exorcist had dared to lay his filthy hands on one of her cute servants, Hyoudou Issei! She hadn't expected that an exorcist would visit a client's house, slaughtered all of them and used them as bait in order to kill Devils! Looking at the insane exorcist coldly, Rias said in a voice that could make any lesser man cower in fear
"Looks like you have been looking after my cute servant, don't you?"
"Ah, yes, yes! I have been playing around with him! I was planning to cut his body all over but I was interrupted by this shitty nun!" said Freed Sellzen with a crazy laugh as he pointed at a scared-looking blond nun who was clad in a tattered clothes "It finished as if it was a dream!"
*BANG!*
An energy ball of Power of Destruction shot out from Rias's hand and completely destroyed the sofa behind the insane exorcist.
"I will never forgive those who harm my servants. I especially can't forgive a lowlife like you..."
Suddenly, before Rias could finish her sentence...
*BOOM!*
... a loud explosion could be heard outside the apartment and a crimson spear pierced through a wall, creating a large hole on it, and impaled into the opposite wall before slowly disappeared.
"What the shit! The barrier was taken down?! How?!" shrieked Freed loudly
*TAP* *TAP* *TAP* *TAP*
Rias could hear the sound of footstep coming near from the large hole. But for some unknown reasons, everytime the sounds of footstep become more and more clearer and closer, Rias could feel the air become thinner and colder as the pressure coming from the hole was so large that it took all of her and Akeno's will power not to fall on their knees while everyone else, excluding Issei who had already passed out, everyone including Freed was shaking like a leaf in the wind
*TAP* *TAP* *TAP*
And then the sound stopped as a figure stepped in through the hole.
It was a person that was totally clad in black clothing and had a black mask covering all of his face. Despite the terrifying aura he was emitting, Rias, Akeno and Koneko all felt like they had met this person somewhere before...
"Who are you? Another shitty devil? Fine! More devil for me to kill!" said Freed in a maniac tone
A silence
"What's the problem, you shit? Are you muted? Or are you too scared to say anything?" laughed Freed crazily
Another silence
"You are the one who kill this innocent family, aren't you?" said the person in a cold and demonic tone as Rias, Akeno and Koneko was shocked because they now understood why this person was so familiar
This person... was the same person that had saved the infant Naruto in their first shared dream with Sona!
It was the same voice that even if they were killed thousands time, they would still remember it!
But what was this person doing here? Where was his sword? And why had he used that spear?
But Freed's voice snapped the three she-devils out of their thought
"Oh yes! It was me who killed those shitty people! Because they were criminals who has been summoning Devils! So I had to kill them!" said Freed cheerfully
"Then I will only have one word for you..." said the person emotionlessly
"Oh? A surprise! What is it? What is it? An insult? A curse? A spit? Come on! Tell me quick you shit!" said Freed as if he was going to receive an early Christmas gift
"... Die."
Suddenly, five long nail-liked daggers which were attached to long chains appeared in the air flew toward the insane stray exorcist and impaled through his chest and all of his limps.
"Argh! You shitty punk! You hurt me!" cried Freed painfully
"Ara, it seems you want some more, right? Coming right up!" said the person in a very sadistic tone as ten more daggers appeared and pierced through his limps and stomach. If Akeno hadn't been stuck in her shock, she would have become a blushing and moaning mess now.
"Agrrrhhhhhh!" cried out Freed painfully.
"Oh! Still want some more?!" and ten more daggers appeared and pierced through his body.
"Aggrrrrhhhh! Stop! Please stoooop!" begged the insane exorcist. For the first time in his life, he felt FEAR! This was milion times worse than any Hell he could imagine!
"Your sould tainted with blood of countless innocent souls..." said the person in a tone that nearly brought everyone to their knees and made them freeze in their spot"... And now... FEEL THEIR PAIN!"
Ten more daggers appeared in the air and pierced through the exorcist's torso. And then at the same moment, all the chains forcefully pulled back but before the exorcist could be torn apart...
"Please stop! Father Freed have received what he deserves so please stop!" cried the blond nun as she held onto the person's sleeve "Killing someone is unforgivable! God won't allow such acts! Please stop!"
A silence
And then a broken and bloody Freed was dropped onto the floor.
"If that's what you want... Asia-san... " said the person as Asia stepped back in shock
"Ho... How do you know m...my name?" asked Asia shakily as the person just ignored her as he took a random coat in the room and put it on Asia. Turning to the shock peerage, the person said emotionlessly
"Don't you have a comrade to tend to?" this made Rias remembered that Issei had received some minor injuries. As she and Akeno applied the healing spells onto the pervert, the person took out a cellphone
"... Ozu?... All of them have been captured alive?... Good... Kabuto? Come here quick... At house number 1435 in the eastern part of the city... We will gonna have a small funeral..."
When the person put away his cellphone, he turnewd back only to find Rias's group was still there while Asia kept holding the coat around her body as tight as she could
"... Why didn't you go back? There is nothing more for you to do here." Said the person indifferently
"Who exactly are you?" Asked Rias cautiously with an edge in her tone "You just appeared out of no where and attacked that stray exorcist with strange power. This is my teritory and I need to know who are you and which side you are on"
But the person just turned away and...
"... Where is that exorcist?" said the person suddenly and Rias and everyone else realized that the heavily injured Freed had mysteriously disappeared as the pool of his own blood was the only evidence proved that the insane exorcist had been there. After a minute turning his/her head around, the person just let out a long sigh as he/she turned to Asia
"Here, drink this" said the person as he/she gave the blond nun a canteen of water coming from who-know-where "Are you feeling better now?"
"Y... yes, tha... thank you for your kindness... um, but... who are you?"
Suddenly, a chuckle could be heard from the person
"Don't you remember your first friend in this city, Asia-san?" said the person as his mask disappeared and revealed a face that Rias was too familiar with
"WATARU-SAN/KUN/SENPAI/SAMA?!"cried Asia, Rias, Koneko, Kiba and Akeno in shock.
[Unknown place]
"Whe... where the shit... am... I... ?" asked Freed rasply as he found himself now floating in a pitch black space. Suddenly, many eyes appeared/opened around the insane exorcist and glaring at him hatefully
"That nun, and my chosen boyfriend to some small extent, may have mercy on you" Yukari's voice echoed throughout the space "... but at the moment I feel like won't ... So now... FEEL THEIR PAIN!"
"ARRRRGGGGHHHH!" cried Freed Sellzen as hundreds of danmaku slammed into his body and pain continously erupted in his body until there was nothing of his body remained.
(Chapter end)
Co-Author's note: I finished this chapter at 1:47 am. Man that was tiring... Due to my pathetic writing skill, I'm not sure if my grammar is correct or not... And I'm not sure when I (and/or Varange) manage to finish the next update but I will try as best as I can. To anyone who has been waiting for a big Fallen Angel beat down, sorry to disappoint you guys and I hope you guys are satisfied with how Wataru maimed Freed. I hope next time my writing skill will be better. I wonder in the next chapter, should I reveal more about Wataru/Naruto's past or should I begin the next DxD arc... It's so damn hard to choose!
Okay, that's all for now. See you guys later! \(^o^)/
