Couple hours later
Kurou exited the train station looking around for the preist who was going to take him to the local church. He spotted the man waving at him next to a car. Kurou grabbed his bags and started walking towards him.
"Hello are the one guiding me to the church?" He asked as he reached him.
"Yes, during your stay i'll help with anything you need." The preist replied.
"Thank you. Before we head to the church will you mind showing me around, I don't really know the area." Kurou said.
"Not at all. Shall we go." The preist said.
Kurou placed his bags in the trunk before getting in the car. The car drove away from the train station into the city. The preist took him around the city showing him different things in it. During the tour Kurou looked for places that the devil may have made his hideout.
After awhile they arrived at the church. The preist led him into the church and to the room he'll be staying in during his mission. Asking if he needed anything before he left the room. Kurou started unpacking his things and placing them around the room. After unpacking he sat on the bed in thought.
'It's starting to get dark, i'll need to get started soon.' He thought as he looked out the window.
'The information I was given said the devil acted at night attacking people mostly at parks whe their alone or with somone.' He thought.
Kurou got up and left the room to tell the preist he was leaving. He walked outside the church and went to check some of the parks nearby for any trails the devil may have left.
Hours later
'It's already night and I still haven't found a lead.' Thought a frustrated Kurou.
Taking a break he sat on a nearby bench. He started to relax but went stiff as he felt the aura of a devil slightly nearby. He got up and ran quickly to the area were he felt it.
When he arived he saw a stray devil with blue skin with pointed ear and a horn in the middle of it's forhead.
'Who is this, he looks nothing like the devil that was described.' He thought to himself.
"Who are you and what are you during here?!" Kurou said to the devil as he summoned his sacred gear.
The devil turned in surprise before grinning as he felt the slightly tainted holy aura.
"A fallen angel with a sacred if I eat him I'll gain even more power." The stray said to himelf.
Kurou tensed as the devil charged at him. He got ready to block him before he heard a voice in his head.
[On another mission already Kurou.] The voice said in a deep voice.
Kurou blocked the devi's hand with his spear. 'I thought you were asleep acnologia.' He replied as he spun around the devil swinging his spear at his back.
[I was but decided to wake up when I felt you starting this battle.] Acnologia replied.
Kurou's attack landed cutting a gash in his opponents back. The devil jumped away from him and fired a blast of thunder at him. As the attack came closer the jewel on his spear glowed before a voice spoke from it.
{Consume}
The attack was suddenly absorbed into his sacred gear. Kurou felt some of the energy from the attack enter him while the rest stayed in the spear. The devil eyes widened as he sa his attack dissapear.
While the devil was distracted he raised his spear as it glowed and thunder surrounded it. Kurou swung down and a huge blast of thunder was released. An explosion took place when the thunder hit it's target.
Kurou walked towards the smoke as it cleared and saw the stray devil laying in a small crater injured. He stabbed his spear through the devil's stomach to keep him pinned there.
"Now then you'll tell me everything you know about your partner." Said Kurou in a dark tone as his eyes glowed silver.
Later
Kurou was walking back to the church after getting the information he needed and killing the stray devil.
[Your methods of getting info is as brutal as ever.] Said Acnologia.
"I suppose, but atleast it's affective." He replied.
[Heh, that is true. So what are you going to do about the remaining stray?] Acnologia asked
"I'll wait until tomarrow night to make my move, until then I guess i'll relax while I can." Replied Kurou as he streched his arms above his head.
The remaining time it took to get to his room in the church was quiet.
The next day
Kurou woke up and yawned as he streched and got out of bed. He walked to the bathroom to take a shower before leaving. Kurou exited his room in a long sleeve white shirt and a jeans. He walked to the kitchen to see that the preist had made breakfest.
"Good morning." Said Kurou as he fixed himself a plate and sat down.
"Good morning. How was your search?" Asked the preist.
"It went well. By tonight the stray devil in this town will no longer be a problem." He said.
"Seems like you have a long day ahead of you." The preist said.
"Yea I guess." Kurou sighed.
He finished eating and left the church to walk aroud the city. While waking Acnologia talked to him.
[What do you plan on doing until tonight Kurou.] Said Acnologia.
"I saw a nice cafe when we was on our tour of the city, so i'm heading there." He said.
[A cafe huh. When was the last time you'vebeen to one?] Said Acnologia.
"The last time was when Dulio-san dragged me on one of his little eating adventures." He replied.
'Ah we've arrived." He thought.
Kurou walked into the cafe and a woman in a maid outfit led him to a table in the back. He sat down and asked for a cup of tea and a piece of strawberry cheese cake. The waitress took his order with a smile and walked away. As he waited for his order someone tapped him on his shoulder.
He turned to look around and blushed a bright red. The most beautiful woman he's ever seen in his life stood in front of him. She had Curly blonde hair and Emerald eyes and was currently smiling at him.
"Y-yes how can I help you?" Kurou asked as he blushed.
"Would it be okay if I sit here with you?" She asked.
"I-i-it's okay I wouldn't mind." He replied.
"Thank you." she said.
He watched as she sat in front of him and a waitress came to take her order. Once she was finished she turned back towards him and smiled. He blushed under her gaze as he averted his eyes away from her.
"I'm Kurou what's yours?" He asked
"My name is Gabriel it's nice to meet you Kurou-san." She replied
His eyes widened as he heard her name. 'Gabriel she couldn't be.' He thought.
"Gabriel as in the sereph Gabriel." He asked.
"Yep that's me. You must be an exorcist then." Replied Gabriel.
"That's right, but what are you doing here Gabriel-sama?" He asked.
"Just Gabriel is fine. To answer your question i'm here to relax until I go back to heaven." Gabriel said.
He nodded as the waitress came back with their order. The two talked as they ate until it was time for Gabriel to leave.
"It was nice talking to you Kurou-kun. I hope we can met again sometime soon." She said.
"I had a fun time as well." Replied Kurou.
He face turned a deep red when Gabriel leaned down and kissed him on his cheek. She smiled at him before walking away while waving goodbye at him. He watched with a hand on his blushing cheek until he couldn't see her.
He noticed it was getting late so he left the cafe to go back to the church. He Jumped in shock as he heard a voice laughing in his head.
[Hahaha, you should see your face it's hilarious.] Laughed Acnologia.
"tch, It's not funny so shut up." Said Kurou in embarresement.
Acnologia just continued to laugh.
Night
Kurou was dressed in his normal attire and was getting ready to leave to kil the stray devil. He left the church and arrived at an abandoned warehouse.
"You ready Acnologia?" He asked the dragon.
[Of course I am partner.] He replied.
"Then let's go" He said.
Kurou walked into the warehouse and looked around for the stray devil. A pair of eyes watched Kurou as he was walking through the warehouse. Kurou arrived in a open space in the warehouse.
He widened his eyes as he felt the aura of the devil. He turned around as he saw a shadow moving towards him. An explosion took place where Kurou stood. Kurou burst out of the smoke with blood trailing down his left arm.
'He's fast I barely had time to set up a small barrier.' He thought as he looked at the smoke cloud warily.
[Kurou are you okay?!] Asked Acnologia in concern.
"Yea i'm okay. It's no problem." He said as he moved his left arm.
The smoke cleared to show a tall man wearing a suit with a sword in his hand. Kurou could sence the power the man had even though he wasn't releasing it. He summoned his spear to his hand and took a stance.
"You look classy for a stray devil." Said Kurou.
"You should 't you seem young to be an exorcist." Replied the devil.
"Yea I get that alot. Before we begin may ask the name of the devil i'm about to kill." Said Kurou.
"It's Daniel and it'll be the last name you hear!" Yelled Daniel as he rushed at kurou.
[Kurou don't let your guard down!] Yelled out Acnologia.
"I know." He said as he blocked Daniel's swing.
Kurou pushed Daniel away from him before he rushed at him swinging his spear at his legs to knock him off balance. It failed as he jumped into the air and swung his sword down towards Kurou. Kurou managed to bring his spear to block but his legs buckled under the weight of Daniel and his sword. He jumped back and covered his spear in wind and swinging it sending a blade of wind at Daniel.
Daniel created a magic barrier to block the blade of wind then charged at Kurou. Kurou ducked under his swing and tried thrusting his spear at Daniel's throat. Daniel tilted his head to dodge it before grabing it with one hand. Kurou watched in surprise as Daniel opened his mouth and released a stream of fire at him.
Kurou jumped into the air quickly and released his wings to stay there. He stayed there for a second to catch his breath and think of a plan.
[Partner you alright?] Asked acnologia.
"Yea i'm fine." He replied.
[I'm assuming you have a plan to deal with this.] Said Acnologia.
"yea I'll use that attack, all he has to do is send one of those attacks again." Said Kurou.
He watched as Daniel's mouth glowed again. He tensed up to prepare to absorbe the attack. As the fire came soaring at him he pointed his spear at the fire.
{Consume}
The fire was absorbed into his spear. Daniel was shocked for a moment and that was all Kurou needed. He raised his spear and was enveloped in a tornado of fire. He dissapeared and appeared in front of Daniel. As he swung his spear he shouted.
"DARK DRAGON'S STORM" He yelled.
Daniel was engulfed an a raging tornado of fire. The warehouse was engulfed in a explosion. Once the smoke cleared Kurou was on his knees and the middle of a crater.
[Good job partner you compleatly destroyed that stray devil.] Acnologia said in a proud tone.
"Thanks. Man that was a tough fight,can't wait to get some sleep". He replied.
Kurou got up and released his wings to fly back to the church. Before going he took one last look at the crater that was once the warehouse.
The next morning
Kurou was at the train station saying goodbye to the preist. After saying goodbye he got on the train back to the Vatican. As he leaned his head against he window he had a thought before he fell asleep.
'I hope my next opponent is even stronger than the devil I faced. I'm excited just thinking about it.' He thought with a smile.
Kurou has finally completed his mission and he also got the chance to meet the sereph Gabriel. Also to make it clear Kurou will not and will never become a devil. He will stay on the angel's and church's side through the whole story. I have also decided to give Kurou a holy sword to use when not using his sacred gear.
I wrote my first two fight scenes tell me if they are good are not. Next chapter will be the start of canon and will begin during the end of the battle at Kuoh Academy.
