Devil of the Streets
Chapter 8
"So, where to now?" I asked myself and looked up at the sky trying to think of an answer. I leaned back against the wooden bench and looked over at the guitar sitting next to me. On my lap, the small blonde girl was drooling and rolling around. Man, I must be a pretty crappy bed.
Asia and I ran for about an hour after we left the house we'd saved Issei from. I really hope he's okay. Anyway, we eventually reached a park and now we were sitting on a bench planning out or next more, well I was at least.
"She looks so cute asleep." I said as I brushed the blonde hair from the girl's face. She was sleeping like a baby and even started to curl up closer to me. I ran my hand through her hair and just sat there, thinking.
"Rias is so going to kill me when I get back." I said with a sigh. It's true. I abandoned them to save this girl. Why did I have to try and be a hero? Kids, never be a hero. You will only get yelled at.
"Ja…James. Where are we?" Asia's sleepy voice brought me from my thoughts. I looked down to see her starring up at me with those adorable green eyes.
"We're at a park. Is it alright with you if we just stay here for the night? It's pretty late so why don't we just stay and you can go back to bed." I told her reassuringly and rubbed her back.
"But what about you James?" She asked and I just kept smiling at her.
"I don't need to sleep. You go ahead and lay back down okay? You've had a hard night." I told her and she nodded sleepily. So cute!
"James, thank you for coming back for me." Asia said and I nodded at her.
"What else was I going to do silly? Now go on back to sleep love." I responded and the blonde girl just smiled before she got a red blush on her face.
"Uh James…can you um…kiss me goodnight?" She asked and sat up on my lap a little. My brain broke and I just sat there for a minute, motionless. "James? You still there?" Asia asked poking my chest lightly.
"Uh yea. Wait…kiss you? But Asia…uh…why?" I asked, still in disbelief.
"Because, you saved me. You're a hero. Even if you are a devil, you're such a kind person. And…it would help me feel safe." She explained and tugged on my shirt a little. Again, weirdest nun ever!
"Asia, I don't know what to say. We really shouldn't though. I mean…isn't it kind of sudden?" I asked, trying to get out of it. Why am I attempting to get out of it? Wait…hang on, why is this a bad thing to me?
"James, I'm not going to bed until you kiss me!" She stated firmly and started to pout. I sighed in defeat and brought the blonde into a hug.
"You are just too cute. You know that?" I said and lightly kissed the girls head. I heard her sigh in happiness and I just held her tighter. Yep, I'm so dead when I get home. But, at least this one doesn't yell at me! And that made it worse…
"Goodnight James." Asia said and pulled away from before lying back down on my lap. Guess I am a good pillow, sweet!
"Goodnight Asia." I said and leaned my head back to look up at the stars again. Man what have I gotten myself into?
"Master!" A familiar voice called and my eyes shot open. When did I fall asleep? I sat back up on the bench, Asia was still asleep in my lap, and I noticed the sunlight coming from behind me. It's morning?
"Hello? Who's there?" I asked and started to look around before I felt something nibble at my foot. I leaned over the edge of the bench to see a familiar white fox biting my shoe. How did she find me?
"Ahri? Is that you? When did you get here?" I questioned the fox. Good thing no one is around right now, I'd look insane.
"Master, I'm so glad I found you! You're Master and that other girl were worried sick so they told me to go find you." The fox girl explained and I smiled. She came to find me!
"Thank you Ahri." I said sincerely and the small fox jumped onto the bench with me. She stopped when she noticed the cute nun girl sleeping on me.
"Master, who is this girl? How come your first night with me as a servant was not spent with me?" The fox questioned. Oh no…I thought we'd move past this.
"I had to save this girl and we had nowhere else to go. So I just let her sleep on my lap." I explained quickly, hoping the fox would understand. Ahri just sighed and climbed into a free space on my lap before curling up and laying on me.
"Then I'll just have to sleep on you too." She said and nuzzled against me. Awh, this is the cutest fox ever!
"Ahri, as much as I love this, shouldn't we head back to the clubroom?" I asked and Ahri sighed before jumping off.
"And I was just getting comfy." She whined before unleashing a puff of smoke and turning into her human form. Man she's pretty…
"Would you mind leading the way?" I asked as I stood up, threw the guitar over my back, and carried the blonde princess style in my arms. Ahri nodded before she started walking off into the distance, me following close behind.
After about twenty minutes of walking we arrived back at the clubhouse. Hopefully no one would be home and I could rest a little before having to deal with the punishment. Ahri lead me up the stairs of the old school house and to the double doors of the clubroom.
"Take her in case I get shot or something okay?" I asked Ahri and the fox girl nodded before taking Asia from me. I gulped and slowly opened the door. The wooden door creaked open and I stepped into the clubroom.
"JAMES! You're okay!" Akeno shouted and tackled me from the side. We fell to the floor and the black haired girl held me down with my arms pinned by hers. She looked like she didn't get much sleep last night but was still smiling at me all the same.
"Hey Akeno, how are you?" I asked, still fearful of my punishment. The black haired girl just shook her head and smacked me.
"Just shut up you idiot! I was so worried about you." Akeno whined and grabbed me tighter before I could even slightly recover from the slap. What is going on…?
"Why were you so worried? Everything is fine Akeno I promise. I just carried Asia to the park and we fell asleep together. And then Ahri found me and I'm back with you, so it's all good." I explained and Akeno pulled herself off me and glared at me. What! She just did a complete one-eighty!
"What do you mean you two fell asleep together?" Akeno asked and brought her head closer to mine, still glaring menacingly.
"It's not what you think! We sat on a bench and she fell asleep on my lap, that's all!" I explained and Akeno seemed to relax a bit. She wrapped her arms around my neck and pressed herself against me. Oh, a night spent without these boobs made me forget their beauty…
"It doesn't matter! All that matters is that you're back and you're okay." She whispered and lightly kissed my cheek. What? Where is the anger and the pain I'm supposed to be feeling!? Wait, does it hurt if you get aroused too much? Is that their plan?
"Akeno what is going on out here? I thought we were waiting for James…" Rias's voice filled the room as she walked in from her bedroom. She trailed off when she looked over to see Akeno's arms wrapped around me on the ground. And here comes the pain…
"James! You're back! I'm so glad you're okay!" Rias yelled and ran over to us. Okay, what the literal hell is going on?
"Hey Rias. I'm really sorry about last night. I just couldn't leave her…" I started to explain but Rias cut me off by grabbing Akeno and throwing her off me. Rias immediately grabbed my and pulled me to my feet and into her arms. She held me close and ran her hand along my back.
"Don't ever do stupid stuff like that again, silly boy!" She commanded and I almost legit started crying. She really does care…
"Of course I do." Rias whispered and held me tighter, pressing her assets into me. Oh thank sweet Korean Jesus! Wait…what? Nothing? AWSOME!
"Rias get off him! Let's let him get some sleep." Akeno asked our Master. This is too much, I think I died and went to heaven. OW! There it is…
"Fine, but we are both going to sleep with him until he recovers." Rias said and both girls smiled at me. Yep…this is a dream.
"Ja…James? Where are we now?" Asia's voice broke the silence and the girls stopped sending seductive looks at me.
"We're safe now Asia. I brought you back so everything is okay now." I explained and walked over to where Ahri was holding the small nun. Ahri put her down in front of me and the sleepy girl fell against my chest.
"Thank you so much James. How can I ever repay you?" Asia whispered sleeply and wrapped her arms around me. I just smiled and patted her head.
"Everything is going to be just fine now okay? You don't have to worry about those fallen angels anymore. We're going to take care of them and you'll be fine." I tried to reassure her and Asia started to shake her head.
"They'll still come for me. Lady Raynare…and that priest…they'll come for me." Asia mumbled and I continued to rub her head and knelled in front of her.
"I promise you. Everything will be fine." I promised her and she finally seemed to relax. She threw herself into my arms and grabbed me.
"Oh James thank you!" She said quietly and I smiled. This is the sweetest girl ever.
"James, would you mind introducing us to your little friend?" Rias asked and I turned to see the three other girls glaring at me. Even Ahri? What did I do?
"Right, well this little girl is Asia Aregento. Master, I would like to protect her from now on. Even if she is a member of the church I don't want to lose her. Please Master?" I said and took a protective stance in front of the small blonde. Rias looked at me without much expression; she must have been thinking it through in her mind. Luckily, her face eventually turned back into a warm smile.
"I suppose there is no arguing with you is there. Just don't do anything stupid alright?" Rias said and I nodded. Asia pulled on the back of my jacket and I turned to see her smiling up at me, tears welling in her eyes.
"Hey, don't cry. Everything is going to be fine." I promised her and knelled down in front of her. I held her hand in mine and I could hear the girls growling behind me. What's their problem?
"It's just…no one has ever been this nice to me. And, even though you're a devil you're still unbelievable kind. James, you truly are a blessing." Asia said and held my hand tighter in hers. I have to protect her.
"Asia, why don't you and I go have a talk?" Rias asked and Asia looked away from me in surprise. "We should really let James go have time to relax." The red haired girl continued and nodded towards me.
"Don't worry about anything Asia. She doesn't bite…much." I whispered the last part. Rias just winked at me before taking the blonde's hand and walking with her to Rias's desk. She's probably just gathering info.
"Now James, why don't we go take that nap." Akeno purred in my ear and wrapped her arms around my waist. Well this escalated quickly…
"Akeno! Uh…well…would it be okay if I just got some fresh air real quick. I'll be back in a bit." I said as I worked my way out of her iron hold on me. The girl just looked at me, puzzled, as I waved goodbye and stepped out of the room. Phew…
"Come back soon. I've got something to give you when you get back." The pretty girl called from behind the door.
"Farewell Master, come back soon." Ahri finished before I started walking down the stairs. Oh man…that was pretty unexpected.
I pulled my hood over my head, fixed my guitar on my back, and walked off the school grounds and onto the street. Just got to clear my head. I walked for a good ten minutes before I came to a park. In the center was a huge pool of water with big white columns all around it. Blissful…
"Well I guess this is a good a spot as any." I muttered as I sat on a bench and pulled my guitar around. A few people turned when they noticed me playing.
"Early in the morning, rising to the street. Lap me up that cigarette and I strap shoes on my feet. Got to find a reason, reason things went wrong. Got to find a reason why my moneys all gone. I got a Dalmatian and I can still get high. I can play the guitar like mother Fing riot." (There were kids around.) "
"Life is too short, so love the one you got. Cause you might get run over or you might get shot. Never start no static I just get it off my chest. Never had to battle with no bullet proof vest. Take a small example, take a tip from me. Take all your money, give it all to charity. Love is what I got, it's within my reach. The Sublime style still straight from Long Beach."
"It all comes back to you, you bound to get what you deserve. Try and test that, you bound to get served. Loves what I got, don't start a riot. You'll feel it when the dance gets hot. Singing, lovin…it's what I got. I said remember that. Lovin…is it's what I got."
My voice filled the small park and people had gathered around the bench I was performing on. I stopped singing and looked up at the large crowd for the first time. They cheered in appreciation and almost all of them handed me money. Thank you Sublime.
"You're voice is beautiful." A female voice said from behind me. I turned around to see a girl with long black hair and deep purple eyes. Almost exactly like Akeno. But she had a slightly different, but she was still just as beautiful.
"Oh…uh…thank you." I said once I was done starring. She was wearing a casual dark red t-shirt that showed a bit of cleavage along with dark blue jeans and regular tennis shoes. She was looking at me with a kind, light smile. She seems nice…
"Would you like to sit with me for a bit?" I asked. Why am I hanging out with another girl? Wait…why am I thinking it's bad? I'm not with anyone, right? See, this is why girls need to be upfront.
"I'd enjoy that." The girl said and she took a seat next to me, eyeing me. Wonder what she's like.
"What's your name beautiful?" I asked without meaning to. What can I say, I got lost in her eyes. That's what purple eyes do to me.
"Yuma, but my friends call me Raynare. What about you?" She answered and I felt something go off in my brain. Ignoring it, I answered.
"My name's James, my friends call me Jamey." I told her and she giggled.
"Well, Jamey, I really did enjoy your singing. But where are you from? I've never seen you around her before." She asked and I sighed. Is it really that obvious? Well ya stupid, you're American! Wait, how come everyone has spoken English so far? Weird.
"Well, Raynare, I moved here from America. I had some…difficulties…back home, so I had to move. Would you believe me if I said I use to be homeless." I explained and the girl giggled when I said her other name.
"Really? You look a bit too well pampered to be homeless. But I suppose it's alright. I think a rugged, real world man is quite attractive." She said and scooted a bit closer. Is this like Akeno's twin sister?
"I wasn't exactly that great. Just a drug dealer and stuff like that." I answered bluntly. It's not a big deal to me! Don't judge.
"What other stuff? Have you killed people before?" She asked, looking at me with admiration. Okay, what is up with these girls? Easy to talk to, but crazy.
"Well, yea. But it was only people who deserved it. Is that cool to you or something?" I asked and the girl shrugged before looking back at me with a seductive grin.
"It certainly isn't a bad thing." She responded and placed her hand on my leg. Oh…what?
"Listen, Raynare, I'm not really into that kind of thing." I said and tried to pull her hand off my leg as calmly as possible.
"Oh really, cause I think you are. But if you don't want to I should be on my way." She said, pouting as she stood from the bench.
"No, don't go!" I called after her and placed my guitar down on the bench. I walked up behind her and grabbed her hand. What am I doing? Hormones please stop!
"I just didn't want this to be one of those things. I would still…like to get to know you a little better. As friends and all." I said and looked at the ground, blushing. The girl just laughed into her hand. She didn't exactly have a sweet calming voice. It was more aggressive and seductive you could say. I actually preferred it.
"Well then I suppose we could talk for a while." Raynare responded as she grabbed onto my hand and pulled me back to the bench. "You are pretty cute after all." She finished as we sat down together.
Raynare and I talked for a few hours and she even had me play a few songs for her. The sun eventually started to sit and we both had to return to our homes. But before I got a chance to leave…
"James, I want to thank you for talking to me all day. I may come off as pretty aggressive and all but…it was just really nice to have a boy who only talked to me and didn't take advantage of me. I have quite a bit of baggage and stuff in my life, so it was nice to forget about it for a day with you. It was nice to be myself around a guy." She explained and I smiled at her before turning around to get my guitar.
"Anytime Raynare. I'd love to spend more time with you too. I've been having a rough time in my life too so…yeah…I really enjoyed spending time with a girl who didn't confuse me. I appreciate you being so sweet to me. Oh and…about being aggressive…I liked it…wait, Raynare…" I didn't get to finish. As soon as I turned around Raynare had grabbed my shoulders and pressed our lips together.
I was forced onto the bench with the girl sitting on my lap and still pressing against me. Her lips were soft and smooth and her body pressed against me just right. Her tongue broke into my mouth and I kind of panicked. I tried my best to go by instinct and please her but I eventually just let her take over, and I think she may have liked that better. She broke the kiss after a while and laid her head on my shoulder, purring into my ear.
"I can't wait to see you again James." The girl said and I smiled. Why do I get the sinking feeling this is going to suck for me later on…?
"Well, I'll let you go." Raynare said and gave me a quick peck on the cheek before skipping off. She was actually skipping? Point, James!
"Best. Day. Ever." I said and jumped off the bench with my guitar slung on my back. I jumped and cheered the whole way back to the clubhouse. I just can't tell Akeno or Rias about this and I should be fine…
"I'm back!" I called as I stepped through the big doors that lead into the clubroom. "Oh no…" I muttered as I stepped through the door and saw what was in the room.
Akeno and Rias were lying unconscious on the ground and the whole room was ripped to pieces. The windows had all been blown open and there were wholes on all the walls. The couches had been blown across the room and the coffee table had been blown to pieces. What happened…
"Akeno! Rias!" I yelled and ran to my two seniors. I sled across the floor and stopped right in front of them. Their clothes had been ripped and they both had cuts and gashes across their bodies. "Please don't be dead. Oh please don't. I can't do this again. I can't. No! NO!" I screamed and started shaking both girls. I felt fear and anger welling inside me. Then a card flew past my vision.
My entire deck had flown out of my pocket and were now circling me. Oh no…my balance breaker. Okay…I just have to get everything under control and then…
"Ja…James…is that you?" Akeno's weak voice broke my thoughts and I crawled over to her. I grabbed her hand and pulled her head onto my lap. My tears fell down and splashed on her bloody, smiling face.
"Akeno, I'm so sorry! I should have been here. Are you okay? Who did this!? Who do I have to…kill…" My voice turned to a growl as I grew angrier. Whoever did this dies…they die…tonight!
"James, we're going to be fine. I…swear…" Her voice trailed off and she started coughing. What do I do?!
"James…my sweet servant…come here?" Rias's voice sounded from behind me. I gently placed Akeno's head down before turning to the red head.
"Rias, you're okay right? You're a big strong upper class devil. Everything is okay right?" I pleaded and gripped her hand tightly. My knuckles turned white and Rias just smiled at me to calm me.
"James, we are going to be fine. Can you…try and heal the wounds though…?" Rias asked through coughs of blood. I nodded and immediately set to work.
"This may hurt a little." I said and pulled two cards out of the air. A Diamond and a Heart. Both disappeared into light and new power coursed through me. I created a small icicle in my hand and gave it to Rias.
"Bite down on this." I commanded and she nodded. Placing the ice in her mouth, I held my right hand over her wounded legs. I let a small amount of fire escape my palm and watched Rias twitch as I cauterized her wound.
"Light poison…oh no." I muttered as the wounds fully closed and Rias stopped twitching. She should just need some sleep. I took out all the poison so it should be fine.
"And now for my other beautiful senior." I said and smiled warmly at Akeno. Please still be okay…
"I know you may love pain, but I still want you to bite down on this." I said calmly and pulled the icicle out of Rias's mouth and handed it to Akeno.
"Oh, it's like an indirect kiss with my Master. I bet you like the idea of that James, huh? Maybe if you get us out of this…" I blocked out the rest of what she said. I have to stay focused! Even though that sounds so nice!
"Just bite down on that. I'm going to heal your wounds." I said, trying to get the girl off the sexual topic. She nodded and I started to work on her legs. She twitched slightly the entire time and I'm pretty sure I even heard a moan or two…but that's beside the point.
The girls were both eventually healed and sleeping soundly. I turned around to look at the broken and smashed up room. Whoever did this is going to pay…
"But who would have done it?" I asked out loud and then it hit me. "Where's Asia? Asia! ASIA!" I called and got no reply. So those fallen ones did come back, and they took Asia. I think it's time I go pay them a visit.
"You two get some sleep. I'll be back." I said and stood up. Time to go solo. Bout time to, I've been missing this life.
"Alright fallen angels, I'm coming for you." I said and pulled the cards out of my pocket. Creating and ice rail, I jumped out of the broken windows and glided through the night sky.
"Time to go back underground and get some leads. Now, where can I find some goblins?"
