Hello again everyone :D

Yarai won't become devil, I don't think he want to be his family especially Irina's enemy...at least willingly.

Akeno and her family don't know about Yarai at this point and won't until much later, so she will put a hold for that 'repayment'.

Yarai' Sacred Gear don't have outer form like Boosted Gear Gauntlet, it was more like Sword Birth who are same manisfestation-Type. So there won't any change on Yarai's appearance, at least not in his initial state dunno about his Balance-Breaker (I put the suggestion within my suggestion box for now).

Thanks for the reviews!

I changed the Harem slightly by putting Asia for Yarai, the rest still same...for now.

Chapter 5: Eve of Prelude

(Yarai POV)

"I'm home" I said as I open the door of my house.

The moon already reveal itself, it was around seven at night when I return to my house. I spend a few hours at cafe until I think my face color regaining its original color.

'Can't let Kaa-san seeing me like that'

"Welcome Home" I heard mom's voice from kitchen, I sit on corridor while taking off my shoes.

"nya..." A small voice made me turn my head

I saw a small white cat, one of our pet. Our house have two pets, one is the former puppy who turn into a medium sized dog, EX. EX have white fur and brown around his upper body, head, and tail.

EX are a hound breeds, beagle. He might be one of smallest hound but he had sense of smell on par with german shepherd, I heard from mom that she got EX from her Exorcist colleague as congratulation gift for her pregnancy.

And another one is this guy...or girl.

I rubbed her head which made her purred. "I'm home, Sayuki".

I named her that because she had a very soft snow white fur. I found her lying in the rain unconscious and take her home.

She very distrustful at first, distrustful enough to suddenly bit me once she woken up. For a kitten she sure had sharp fangs.

She stirred once I finish wipe her clean, her fur soaked all over her body. Good thing I found her before her temperature dropped drastically or it would be dangerous.

She hissed harshly and tried to run by jumped to the window the moment she waking up, she would succedd if i not grab her collar in time. I can't let her out in the rain even more with her injured state.

She thrashing around to make me let her go, but Its not enough.

I grab her by my left hand from behind before I released my right hand' grip on her collar, I purposely let my index finger in front of her mouth and just I suspected she bit it almost immediately.

Though I narrowed my eyes slightly as I don't expected her fangs is this sharp, since she small enough to fit in my hand I thought her fangs still isn't grow.

I let her continue bit my index as I stroke her head with my thumb carefully not to startle her even further.

After a while she isn't thrashing as wild as she was before, maybe because fatigue or hunger or she just started to give up I don't know.

I bandaged her slightly wounded body, I already get used bandaging myself so its not much trouble except when the cat thrashing when the wound sting.

'I hope I do this right' I don't know if there's any difference between bandaging human and cat after all, for time being I just do what I can.

Once I done, I place a small plate of milk in front of her while still holding her in case she tried to run. The cat refused to drink it, she turn her face away.

'She sure got pride, but...' I thought impressed, normally a starved cat would definitely jumped on the chance for free milk.

'...How long she can last?' I thought amused seeing the white cat stealing a glance at milk, once in a while before the interval become shorter and shorter.

Only sound of rain outside can be heard from the room, I continously stroke the cat's head while I reading a book about Marksmanship instruction in my right hand.

My eyes darted from book to the cat when I heard a sipping sound, true enough she started to drink the milk with sedate manners. First I time I saw a cat with manner.

When the rain stop, there's not even a drop of milk left in the plate.

I closed my book and let go of the cat from my hand, without wasting the time she leaped toward the window though she didn't immediately leave but instead she stopped at the window while turn her head to face me.

I just noticed that the cat's eyes are different from normal, she staring at me with her unusual reddish-brown eye for a while before jumped out from window.

After that I often saw her near my neighborhood, even though still hesitant about approaching me she staring at with some expectation which I don't know what.

It was something that just pop up in my head, I took a small plate and a bottle of milk before I jog in the morning.

Then on my way I saw a familiar white cat basking in sun, her ears twitched and look at me when I pour the milk to the plate.

I place a plate of milk on the ground, she looked at the milk with want but hesitated when saw me.

Before she decided to turn away because of me I continue my jog while leaving the milk behind. When I on my way home I saw the previous plate of milk is empty.

Ever since then, I took on self-duty to feed her milk everyday on my morning jog. That happens for months until one day on my way back home from jog I saw there's something other than empty plate.

The cat is there, almost like waiting for me.

I walked toward her as relaxed as possible, If I approach with caution I afraid she would also became wary again. Cat are pretty sensitive after all.

The cat still not move away even after she within my arm reach as I crouch, I slowly extend my hand toward her.

Just about a few centimeters from her head I stopped my hand seeing her body twitched but she didn't run just close her eyes tightly.

I already know that this cat isn't ordinary cat but to think it it goes this far.

I put my hand on top her small head, it was soft. The softest from any other cat or another animal in that matter.

"~Nyaa~" She purred when I rub her head. I saw her eyes opened and looked at me brightly.

"Want to come home with me?"

"NYAA!~"

That's how she live here from that moment.

Different from what people said 'Fight like Cat and Dog', EX and Sayuki pretty much indifferent toward each other, admitting each other presence.

"Sorry to come home late" I said as I stand up and walk with she following me.

I stopped by the living room when I feel something snuggling to my foot. It was EX, our loyal dog.

"Yo, EX, did you be a good boy while I'm gone?". I stroke his head with a smile.

"WOOF!" He answered my question with enthusiastic bark.

"You sure come home late, did something happen?" I heard mom's voice and turned my eyes toward her who in middle of washing dishes.

"Don't worry, there's no problem" I lied, I can't just say 'I just killed two fallen angels' can I?

"If you say so..." Mom said with a bit worry laced her tone "Did you already eat dinner?"

After I empty my stomach, I at least ate simple stall food. To tell you the truth it still a bit hard to eat after this whole 'killing' thing.

"I already ate on my way back" I said "I just go to sleep early tonight, my body tired from training" Mom already know about my training because I tell her myself though not everything, I just said it was 'Survival Training' Which isn't exactly a lie.

"Take a shower first" Mom said "Yes, I do that".

Mom said before that if you go to sleep with tired body without taking a shower first, the tiredness won't gone completely after you wake up.

After I put my 'Guitar' in my room, immediately I go to bathroom. After taking off my clothes and put it in washing machine I took a warm shower while thinking about today's event.

I able to kill two fallen angels only because they're too carried away and didn't bother to put any defensive spell. Rifle bullets, no matter how strong it is it still doesn't stand a chance against supernatural barrier.

It was really stroke of luck that reinforcement came, when he put defensive barrier I seriously racking my brain. If it was devils or Yokai I can use 'that' to them.

Silver Bullet.

In my previous world, it was a fictional object that used to kill werewolf but in this world it exist and considered as one of holy item on par with silver cross or holy water.

Fallen angel are the being of light and even they're fallen they still had that trait, so holy object won't work on them.

Therefore Devil and Yokai are easier to dealt with because if there's only some of holy objects, object that can harm light being almost non-existent.

Angels and Fallen angels can penetrate devil's demonic barrier but at same time their defensive spell can be warded out by devils.

The difference is Human who believe in God created many holy object while magician and witch only created spell or potion. Something that I can't made into bulle.

'*Sigh*, If only I can find cursed metals'

I got out from bathroom and immediately throw myself on bed after I finish changing, sleepness almost instantly hit me.

I standing in pure white room, I look around only to see nothingness.

"This place is...?"

Then suddenly the place changed into a place I recognized, it was a shrine. The shrine itself looks peaceful, I can even feel gentle breeze along with the sound of leaves.

I close my eyes and inhale deeply, seeking for fresh air. It was so relaxing...until I feel something's wrong.

I open my eyes and saw the once the sturdy shrine burned,through gaps in the dust cloud I can see the scenes of hell.

In front of burning building, a daughter hugging her unmoving mother in desperation. She cried and shouting again and again, but her mother stayed silent with blood flowing mercilessly from her fist-sized hole on her left chest.

Ignoring the her own wounds, the daughter sobs, screams, and cries for help "Save her...".

I tried to move my body but my legs can't move, almost like there's invisible nails on my feet.

From behind me I heard laughters, I turn my head slowly as because there's a force tried to hold me back.

My eyes widened once I saw the ones who supposed to be dead and should staying like that alive, I know the best that face because I the one who kills two of them.

Then the three of them created spears of light simultaneously from their hands.

They throw the spears sharply in my direction where I can't move, in slow motion I saw a spear right in front of my face.

Then everything goes dark.

(? POV)

'Strange person'

That was my first impression on him, and I still think that way.

I stroke his sleeping face gently, usually he's the one who rub my head but on the night it's my turn to pay him back.

I can feel the state of his distraught emotion isn't normal the moment he step in despite how well he mask it.

He always had smell of gunpowder with him, that alone is unusual for a child like him. I admit I was distrustful toward strangers, even more a stranger with gunpowder smell like him.

Because a mistake of one of my race, I and my parent was hunted. My parent was murdered, and I can only watching from closet they hide me in.

Soon after that I was taken in by father's friend, they are a pair of husband and wife without child.

I once again feel like I had family again...until it all crashed down.

One night, I accidently hear they talking each other. If only they didn't said my name then I wouldn't stop and eavesdrop.

It was a cruel conversation for me, they intending to sell me out because of how rare my species right now.

I'm a Nekoshou, a race that superior than Nekomata.

Ever since Nekomata and Nekoshou get hunted, only a few survived including me.

Since our numbers greatly reduced, we became sort of trophy for collectors. For me who are a Nekoshou, I worth far higher than Nekomata in their eyes.

I can endure to be view as trophy by them but when the people I saw as family also think of me like some sort of object, I crushed.

At that same night I leave the house quietly, I wandered without destination. I never turn into my human-form ever since...Until I meets him.

I hide my true race from him and his mother, as much as I want to trust him fully, I can't in fear of being betrayed again.

I hope the day where I get my courage to tell him come.

"...ugh!"

I was a bit startled when he grunted in sleep, then I notice he sweating a lot.

"Is it bad dream?" I reach for a cloth,

Just when I was about to wipe his forehead, he open his eyes.

(Yarai POV)

My eyes snapped open, I can feel I sweating as my body heat rises. I wipe my face with my hand while gently massaging my eyes.

'I feel like I saw someone a moment ago'

I swore I vaguely saw someone but when I look around I saw no one.

'Maybe just my imagination'

I sigh as I remember my dream just now, it was feels so real.

Maybe I not as calm as I thought for having those dream, I think I might get better if I talked it with someone, but who?

Mom? Her health just started to get better, I don't want she worry about me and sick again.

Ise? He might believe me if I add some breast. Damn that old man by corrupting him.

But as I thought I better not to dragged him into supernatural world, I think he pretty content spending his life fantasying about breast.

Suddenly my eyes drawed toward a rustle, the white cloth just moving. I don't remember put this cloth here on my bed.

I pick it up and it reveal a white cat under it.

"Sayuki?" I muttered which she meowed.

'...Maybe...?'

I lay myself again then after that I pick the small cat and place it on my chest. She thrashing a bit but when I stroke her head and her chin she calm down.

"Sayuki, you know what..."
