Next chapter ahoy!
There's only one scene that I myself dislike in here and I'm sure everybody will be able to guess it. The damn thing gave me a kind of writer's block as I tried to come up with anything to make myself feel good about it. It lasted for maybe two hours but what a long two hours those were.
Anyhow onto more important things. Like the harem! Harem's are always important! So it seems like it's agreed upon that they're will be a harem but a small one.
Sora's harem: Kuroka, Gabriel, Serafall and Yasaka.
I don't know how I let Yasaka fly right over my head! She's a kyuubi herself for crying out loud! (Might be a little awkward with the whole daughter thing though. But that's just me.)
And this means that Akeno is out of here! I apologize for anyone that may have wanted her in but more people didn't want her in.
Onto questions!
EternityDragon2610: His Divine Dividing will be revealed when the time is right. Which could be in a couple of chapters depending on whether or not I get any ideas in between there or not.
While we're on that topic. That bracelet is on until I say that it's off. I just don't want to start each day with him putting it on.
isseixrias: For the peerage thing *silently points down*
Deadly Shinigami: For the first one 1. The leaflets lead to contracts and contracts are basically the devil's way of gaining power in the Underworld. Since almost all of Sora's peerage isn't allowed in the Underworld, there is no point to doing them. 2. The familiar forest may come soon.
Too much... Author Note... Must sleep...
After returning home with Arthur, Le Fay, and Roxas, I made it my first and upmost priority to barricade the front door.
Grabbing anything nearby I could find, I barricaded it.
Who knows where I found them but, I found planks of wood, a hammer, and some nails.
With no time to spare I nailed the planks of wood across the front door and even placed a sofa and chairs in front of it.
Anything to keep her out.
"What's going on nya?"
Kuroka was behind me and seemed puzzled by my frantic state. Roxas also seemed concerned for how frightened I looked. Arthur and Le Fay had gone off and into the kitchen when they came inside.
"No time to explain! If somebody asks for me, tell them I'm not here!"
My legs were moving on their own at this point. They knew that they were in danger so they ran upstairs and into my room.
Once I was in my room I shut the door and huddled myself in a corner with my head tucked between my legs.
4:55 pm that day. It was the start of the invasion on my house.
Doon! Doon!
She was kicking my front door! The shockwaves from the kicks could be felt in my room!
Doon! Doon!
Dear Maou! Make it stop! All I want is to be left alone!
Doon! Doon!
I'm sorry! Please! If I could go back in time I would stop myself from saying what I did!
Doon DOON!
Oh, no… That sounded like the front door getting kicked down. I could hear the sofa and chairs getting blasted out of the way too!
"Where is he!?"
Don't tell her… Don't tell her… Don't tell her…
"Who? Sora-sama? He's upstairs! He's in his room right now. It's the first one on the second floor!"
Le Fay how could you!? You sold your own master out! What kind of Queen are you!?
Quick! Out the window!
As I started to open the window-
DOON!
She kicked down my door! Go body! Out the window now!
I attempted to climb out the window but-
GRAB
She grabbed my legs!
"GET OVER HERE!"
Please Scorpi- I mean Akeno! Be reasonable!
I held onto the window seal as hard as I could but alas, her rage has made her ten times stronger than the frightened me.
Being pulled off the window seal, I was left lying on the ground in front of her.
With my hands shaking in front of me I said
"Please don't kill me!"
She looked extremely mad! She had what looked like thunder crackling off her but, it was really holy lightning! The few times that the sparks hit me would burn a part of me! Yup, definitely holy lightning!
With rage in her eyes, Akeno grabbed me by my blazer and lifted me up.
This is the end! I'm going to be fried!
"Who does he think he is!? He has no right to decide who I marry!"
This is bad! Really bad! Sorry Barakiel, but I want to live!
"You're right! You should decide who you want to be with! I was forced into this like you! Consider that engagement thing dead!"
"Good!"
Akeno finally releases her grip off of me and starts to walk for the door. Wait the doors on the floor now so I guess it's just an entranceway now.
Ugh. I don't want to but I guess I should.
"If you don't mind me asking… but is there somebody that you like?"
She turned back to me, she still looks upset but I think she calmed down.
"You won't tell him will you?"
I'm guessing she means Barakiel or, maybe she's talking about the person she likes. I don't know.
"I won't tell a soul."
"Ise…"
My rival? The guy seems like he's going to have a harem at this point!
"He's a lucky guy. Also Akeno…"
"What?"
"I'd hope that we're not enemies now or something. I don't want you to hate me for all of this."
"I'm sorry, I overreacted. I don't hate you for this at all."
I can't imagine she's liking Barakiel though… I told him this was a bad idea from the start.
He went as far as to tell me that I should protect his daughter. I'm ok with that. Him and the other Grigori leaders took me in after all, so I do kind of owe him. But then he went further and told me to marry his daughter! He goes and tells me that it would be for the best if the Hakuryuukou married his daughter. Then he says that I have to tell her about this planned marriage! ME! Of all people you should not have me be the messenger of these types of things. Just look at what happened! It's understandable that he couldn't tell her, but he could've hired a professional messenger. If one of those exist of course.
That's the last time I ever listen to one of Barakiel's brilliant ideas.
With a smile I said goodbye to the now calm Akeno.
"Well, I guess I'll see you at school tomorrow Akeno-se… sa…."
I don't know what I'm supposed to use!
She looks like she's back to normal now as she says with a smile
"Just call me Akeno-san."
"Got it Akeno-san. Just call me Sora please."
"Alright Sora. I'll see you at school."
With that Akeno leaves my house.
I'm alive? I'M ALIVE!
[I've never seen you so scared for your life before partner.]
I don't think you've ever seen a girl that mad before Albion.
[That I haven't.]
Now that that's settled, there's only one thing left to do…
Heading down stairs I search for Le Fay. Le Fay and Kuroka are in the living room sitting on the only couch that I left in it. They were watching some show.
"Le Fay, how could you sell me out like that!?"
Why would you do this to me Le Fay!? You don't understand the terror you put me through!
Le Fay simply turns to me and tilts her head.
"Huh? What do you mean Sora-sama?"
"You told Akeno-san where I was!"
"She wanted to know where you were though."
"You didn't think that maybe the person that just kicked down our door might not be that friendly right now?"
She looked puzzled before replying with a cheerful smile
"Nope!"
Ugh… It's not like I hate her for this. No, I could never hate her no matter what she does. It's just I'd like if when I'm hiding, I can STAY hidden.
"Just… next time when someone kicks down the door, could you not tell them where I'm hiding?"
"I'll try my best Sora-sama!"
Somehow I feel like this is going to happen again…
POKE
Oi! Who in the world is poking my ass!?
Why did I even ask that? It's Kuroka of course.
"My, my. Sora, you went and tore a hole in these pants like all you're others. Fufufu. You're butt's on display for the whole world nya."
It's not my fault this blazer isn't as long as my other! Usually the hole is covered damn it!
SQUEEZE
She's squeezing my butt! This is some kind of sexual harassment I'm sure!
"Fufufu. This couldn't possibly be allowed in the school's dress code."
Why it that nobody ever cares that Kuroka teases me?!
Le Fay's acting like this whole thing isn't happening at all! She's just gone back to watching her show!
Quick! Stop this situation from escalating to further teasing!
With my eyes closed and my hands to my side, I say
"Kuroka unhand my buttocks!"
Did it work? She's stopped squeezing my butt so I suppose it did. Ask and you shall receive!
"I'm sorry Sora nya. Would it make you feel better if I let you squeeze mine?"
Kuroka's now bent over in front of me! This is too much for me and she knows it!
"Come on Sora . I know you want to."
You've got to be kidding me! Is there no end to this girl's teasing!?
Let alone the fact that your smell is intoxicating. This kyuubi is weak to your teasing Kuroka!
As the teasing continues Roxas walks into the living room. Of course! How could I forget? Roxas will help me!
"Help me… Get the yarn Roxas…"
Roxas seemed to hear me as he left the room to find the ball of yarn. Kuroka didn't seem to hear me or, maybe she did and is just continuing to tease me.
In a minute or so Roxas returned with the ball of yarn.
He held the yarn in front of him and said
"Look Kuroka!"
Kuroka's attention was shifted towards Roxas and like a playful kitten she ran to him for the yarn.
Roxas dropped the yarn and Kuroka started rolling around on the floor with it.
Phew. If there's anyone I can count on to help me it's Roxas.
That yarn trick only works once in a blue moon. I'm lucky it worked at all.
Still, Kuroka is right. I can't go to school with this huge hole in my pants! Guess it's down to the reserves. Thankfully I have a few pairs of black pants that I haven't torn up.
Now I, Roxas, and Le Fay are sitting on the couch in that order from left to right, while Kuroka enjoys her yarn.
"Still no memories Roxas?"
It's not like I'm expecting them to just come back to him but, if they were to that would be good.
"No, I still have no memories of my past. All I know is my name, my sacred gear, and that I woke up with this black coat on."
Still nothing, huh? When I found Roxas he was just wandering around outside of the Grigori institute. When he told me he had no memories of his past I offered to help him by having him join my peerage. If we can ever get into a Rating Game countless devils will see him and I'm sure somebody will know who he is or about his past.
"Sometimes, I wonder if I should know who I really am at all. What if I did something bad? What if who I was is evil? Maybe I made myself forget who I am to forget that part of me."
Can't imagine not knowing if you've done something bad or not feels that good.
Le Fay seems to have stopped watching her show now and has turned to look at Roxas who's sitting in between us.
With a bright and warm smile that out shines the sun, she says
"It's ok Roxas-sama! We'll always be your friends!"
Roxas seems taken back by what Le Fay said. He hasn't been a part of the group for that long so it's understandable that he doesn't know how nice Le Fay is.
"R-Really? Even if I might've done something terrible in the past?"
"Yup! We're all friends. You, me, Arthur, Kuroka-san, and Sora-sama! We're friends right Roxas-sama?"
"I….I…."
Placing my hand on his shoulder I tell him
"You'd better take it. She won't give up until you do."
With a large smile he said
"Alright, you're right Le Fay. We're all friends!"
I haven't seen him smile in a while now. The first and only time was when I said I would help him. Glad to know that he's happy now.
Entering the room, Arthur announces
"Dinner is ready."
Thank goodness! I'm starving over here! All that fear I experienced drained me! With that we all went to eat dinner and retired to our rooms. Thankfully, the front door was repaired quickly by Arthur. He said he would fix my door tomorrow while I'm away at school. The guy's really handy.
The next day
Today I had gone to school and things proceeded normally. It didn't take me long at all to find my class this time and Le Fay had helped me out with the "homework", as teachers call it, last night. The day was going normally until after school I was approached by one of the other sibling of the Maou's servants. Apparently the entire student council is run by this devil and her peerage. She also has an alias at the school and is called Souna Shitori. Her real name is Sona Sitri and like Rias she questioned why I was at the school. I explained to her the same way I explained to Rias. Except this time I didn't tear apart my pants, I don't want to ruin another pair so quickly after the first.
There were seven girls including Sona in the room and one guy. Sona has short black hair in the style of a bob cut. She also has violet eyes and wears glasses. She was sitting behind a desk while her servants were lined up behind her.
Now to continue the conversation is Sona
"I see. So you're a devil/kyuubi hybrid and you have fled to this town because of your household."
"That's right. And if you don't mind I'd rather not change into my kyuubi form as it would be uncomfortable unless I tore a hole in my pants. You can ask Rias though. She'll vouch for me being part kyuubi."
Please don't make me tear up these pants!
"That won't be necessary I believe you."
Maybe I didn't have to tear a hole in my pants for Rias either. Maybe she would've taken my word for it as well. Did I ruin a pair of school pants for nothing!?
"You said you had a peerage correct? Could you introduce them to me?"
I have no other choice but to.
SNAP
With a snap of my fingers I summon Le Fay, Arthur, and Roxas behind me.
Again I won't summon Kuroka for the reason of how big of a wanted criminal she is.
"Would you be so kind as to go first?"
"Certainly. Tsubaki."
One of the girls behind Sona steps forward. She has long black hair and heterochromic eyes. Like Sona she's also wearing glasses.
"My name is Tsubaki Shinra, third year, vice president of the student council, and Sona-sama's Queen."
Then continuing down the line another girl stepped forward.
She was a tall girl with shoulder length blue hair and blue eyes. She kind of looks like a tomboy if you ask me.
"My name is Tsubasa Yura, second year, and Sona-sama's Rook."
The next one was also a girl.
She had shoulder-length, reddish-brown hair and brown eyes.
"My name is Tomoe Meguri, second year, and Sona-sama's Knight! Glad to meet you!"
Another girl stepped forward after Tomoe.
She had a slim body with long brown hair that ends in two short braids and has matching eyes. She's also wearing a blue headband.
"My name is Reya Kusaka, second year, and Sona-sama's Bishop."
These devils peerages stretch out for miles I swear! Another girl stepped forward!
This one was a young girl with black hair and blue-green eyes.
"My name is Momo Hanakai, second year, and Sona-sama's other Bishop."
When will it end!? Another girl stepped forward after her!
It was a short, petite girl with brown hair in twin ponytails and green eyes.
"My name is Ruruko Nimura, first year, and Sona-sama's Pawn! Worth one piece!"
Oh, the agony! Make it stop! How much longer are these introductions!?
The final one stepped forward! It was the only guy in her peerage.
He has short blonde hair and grey eyes. He's also not wearing the school's blazer and instead has his sleeves rolled up.
"My name is Saji, second year, and Kaichou's Pawn. Worth four pieces."
By what I can sense he's the host of Vritra… but I don't care!
They're done! Now it's my turn and I don't plan on taking an eternity!
I go behind my servants and point to Le Fay
"Le Fay Pendragon. My Queen."
Quickly I point to Arthur.
"Arthur Pendragon. Call him Arthur. My Knight."
As fast as I could I point to Roxas.
"Roxas. My other Knight. He has no memories of his past."
CLAP
I clap my hands together before saying
"Alright, that was wonderful Sona but, I'd like to go home now if that's alright with you."
Sona smirks before saying
"That's fine but, let me warn you."
"Warn me of what?"
With a serious face she told me
"If you bring any harm to this school, I will exact its revenge."
She's pretty serious about this school.
"Dooley noted."
I then start to push my servants out the door as I say
"Now come on guys. We don't want to take up anymore of Sona's time!"
After exiting the school we were on our way home when-
"Sora-sama, can you take me shopping?"
The bright and cheerful Le Fay asked me that.
"Le Fay… You know I can't say no to you!"
Seriously, it must be some kind of disability of mine or something. I just can't say no to her!
"I'll be heading back to the house to prepare dinner."
"I'm going with you Arthur."
Roxas and Arthur start heading home. Hold it! You can't leave me with Le Fay! She's going to drain us dry of all our money!
GRAB
Grabbing a hold of Roxas' hood I yank him back to me and Le Fay
"You have to come with. I need you to be the one to tell me no when I try and buy too much stuff for Le Fay got it?"
"Y-Yeah. Got it Sora."
Later at the department store near Kuou Academy
"Look Sora-sama! Let's go there next!"
"I can't see where you're pointing with all this stuff in my face Le Fay!"
We had gone shopping like Le Fay wanted. I brought Roxas with for the sole purpose of telling me not to buy too much stuff for Le Fay, but he vanished! The second we entered the department store he just went poof and was never to be seen again!
Right now I'm carrying bags and a stack of boxes for Le Fay. The stack has completely obscured my view of what's in front of me! The bags have the weight of a grown man on both of my arms! I can hear my wallet crying as the money Azazel gave me flies out of it.
"Ah! There you are Sora!"
A voice! From the sound of it… It's Roxas!
"Roxas where in the world did you go!? You were supposed to stop me from buying this much stuff for Le Fay!"
"Sorry, Sora. I kind of took some money out of your wallet and went to buy some new clothes."
"You pick pocketed me!?"
"Yeah… haha… Oh! Here's the change from what I took. Huh? There's nothing left in here. Well I guess now there's $3.50… haha…"
Only… $3.50?...haha…. haha…
Suddenly the weight of all the boxes seemed to triple itself after I heard that. All of our money went into these things. I really hope Azazel doesn't mind giving us some more. This time Arthur's keeping the damn money!
With only $3.50 left to our names, I managed to get Le Fay out of the place where our money goes to die. As punishment for abandoning me with Le Fay, I have Roxas carrying the things Le Fay bought home. The amount of books, movies, clothes, and other random things this girl bought is absurd! She bled us dry practically on her own!
We had been in that place for so long that's its already dark out!
Also I now know what clothes Roxas bought as he's wearing them instead of his black coat that he's always had on until now.
He's wearing a black, high-collared shirt and over that a white unzipped jacket. His pants have two colors in that the bottom of them is beige before turning black at the top. He also bought some new shoes. They were grey and black with red straps.
When I look at all this stuff, all I can think of is all our money that went into it…
Continuing on our path home, there was a man standing in front of us.
He had on a cloak and his face was being blocked by his hood.
"There you are little missy. I've been looking for you for a while now."
The man was pointing at Le Fay. Who is this guy? Oh, wait! I know!
Now patting his shoulder with my hand
"You're a fan of Le Fay's aren't you? Can't say I don't know why. She's a powerful magician."
The man swatted my hand off of him and shouted
"I am not this girl's fan! Do not touch me again! I have no business with you!"
Wow…. Rude….
"Le Fay your fan's mean."
"I told you I am not her fan!"
"You're just in denial."
"If you do not get out of my way now, you will be moved!"
After his last remark, I lean my face closer to his.
"Is that a threat?"
"L-L-Lancelot!"
Lance-a-who?
After the man said that a black knight appeared at his side. The knight was in full armor and was giving off a crazy amount of power! His armor looked like it was giving off black smoke! The slit in his helmet where he could see through was giving off a red light as well!
"Since it's the Hero-faction's traitor it's only fair that you Heroes should take care of your own trash!"
Hero-faction? So then these guys are with the Khaos Brigade? I understand that I was messing with you but you don't have to be so mad about it.
The armored knight seemed like he was looking us over before he took off for a nearby light pole! He ripped it out of the ground and it immediately changed black with red lines covering it!
Oi! What's the deal here! No, die traitor? No, have at thee? No, time to die? No, anything!?
He's started to swing the pole for me and the guy immediately! Hey! Don't you care about your friend in front of me!?
There's no time to react at this speed! I'll never get this damn bracelet off in time! I'm going to get hit by that thing without my armor!
WOOSH!
The light pole swung right past me and only hit the guy in front of me! That thing was going so fast it almost blew me away!
But what's going on here? Did he just miss me? Did he think the light pole was longer?
In the blink of an eye the man was out of his armor and kneeling in front of Le Fay!
He had long black hair and was in a business suit like Arthur. Except his is entirely black including his dress shirt.
"Oh, Lady Le Fay! It really is you! Truly the heavens have smiled upon me! Is your brother nearby as well?!"
The guy had tears running down his face! Who is this guy!?
"Hey Lancelot-sama! Arthur's back home right now."
Whoa, whoa. Le Fay knows this guy!?
"Le Fay who is this guy?"
"He's Lancelot-sama. He follows Arthur everywhere."
So he's like a stalker or something?
"I've searched for you and your brother the entire time Lady Le Fay! I never gave up hope on one day finding you and here you are! The fates have smiled upon me!"
This guy seems a bit hysterical.
With the guy from the Khaos Brigade dealt with. We headed home with Arthur's stalker Lancelot.
When we entered inside Arthur was met by a sobbing Lancelot.
"Oh, Sir Arthur! Why did you have to leave me?! The time spent not following you into battle was too much!"
Definitely hysterical. He's groveling at Arthur's feet.
I have to ask
"Arthur, what's this guy's deal with you?"
"He's been a friend since my early childhood. He's always done everything that I did with me. He followed me into the Hero-faction for that sole reason."
He's been following him for that long!?
"My apologies Lancelot. I made a wager and lost. I'm now upholding my part of the wager."
Lancelot looks up to Arthur with tears and snot running down his face.
"What is it Sir Arthur? Please tell me so I may follow you once again!"
Biggest. Stalker. Ever.
"I became a devil to be a servant to my master here."
Arthur presented me as if I was on auction or something.
Arthur's stalker crawls to me and pleads to me
"Please oh gracious master of Sir Arthur! Please make me into one of your servants so that I may fight alongside Sir Arthur again!"
He looks like a wreck. Why exactly do I want Arthur's stalker in my peerage? Well there is his strength. The guy could have knocked me out cold without my armor in one swing!
"Oh, please gracious master!"
He's not going to stop unless I take him in is he?
As much as I think taking in Arthur's stalker is strange. He's powerful, I'll give him that. And if he wants to follow Arthur everywhere then who am I to stand in his way?
"Alright, I'll take you in. But I'm the master alright? Not Arthur. You're more than welcome to follow him everywhere though."
"Yes! I understand completely gracious master!"
"Sigh" I pull out one of my Rook pieces and send it into the air in between us. Considering his strength I think the Rook will be perfect for this guy. Really hoping that he doesn't take two though.
"What's your name?"
"Lancelot du lac. Descendant of the hero Sir Lancelot du lac."
"I, Sora Andras, command you, Lancelot du lac, to join my peerage as my Rook."
The rook piece descended into Arthur's stalker and my families circle appeared beneath him for a long while before disappearing. I almost thought that I would need my second Rook piece after all.
"Thank you gracious master!"
He's hugging me now! The rook's power is too much for this guy! He's squeezing the life out of me! Not to mention he's still sobbing hysterically on me!
With a hand I manage to get free from this guy's death hold, I try and push him off me.
"Let go of me! You're crushing my body!"
You're supposed to be Arthur's stalker! Why can't you be squeezing him!? I'll be lucky to get out of this guy's hug with only a few broken ribs!
Cue red curtains falling.
If you couldn't guess what scene gave me writer's block it would be meeting Sona's peerage. While it was for a short period of time, it still felt like an eternity staring at this monitor. I felt like I was reusing a scene and then after that I decided to summarize the hell out of it! I expressed my distaste for that scene through Sora.
If you did guess meeting Sona's peerage then good for you. What? Are you expecting a reward or something? Well you get none!
Before I go any further though I would like to give credit where credit is due.
Tsunashi777 was the one to come up with the idea for Lancelot being in Sora's peerage so big round of applause for him. *Clap Clap*
Initially I had no idea who Lancelot was but after his suggestion I marathoned fate/zero.
After watching it I definitely wanted to put him in but wasn't sure how. With a little brainstorming, however, I came up with the idea of making him into Arthur's stalker. Also this will be what Sora refers to him as from now on unless speaking to him or describing both him and Arthur.
I also know that du lac means "of the lake" and is not in any way his name but just Lancelot was not going to do. Don't fret though because he will never be called Lancelot du lac again.
Now this author will definitely be sleeping now.
