A.N- Sorry it's been so long since I've updated. So much school work! But, I'm on break now so get ready for a lot more chapters. Review and follow and such! And maybe read my other DxD OC's or other OC's in general. I even put up a new one today :)
The Third King of Kuoh Academy
Chapter 11
A black portal opened up in the foyer of my house and I stepped back onto the marble floor. I sighed and ran my hand through my shaggy hair. I was exhausted and it wasn't even seven yet. I'd left for the Underworld about one and I'd only been gone five hours.
Anyway, I stepped back into my foyer and looked around at my surroundings. None of the girls were out here, but I felt something odd. Like another presence was still in my house…
I walked into the living room and saw two girls and a boy that I barely recognized laying on my couch. The little white haired girl, Koneko, the blonde kid, Kiba, and the super attractive Queen girl, Akeno.
"So you three want to tell me why you're still in my house?" I asked and leaned against the doorframe. Kiba and Koneko looked around startled. Akeno just giggled and stood up slowly. She walked away from the couch and stood in front of me, bowing. Odd…
"Mr. Varian, we apologize for the way our Master has been treating you and your servants. It's very out of character for her and even I don't understand it yet." The Queen before me said. Her voice was very sweet and loving, I adored it instantly.
"It's not your fault. But I suggest you three get out of here before she gets angry and comes back." I said and nodded at them. Kiba and Koneko both stood up and made their way out of the living room, leaving Akeno and I alone together.
"Shouldn't you be off as well?" I asked and looked at her with an eyebrow raised. I was seriously tired of girl-related drama today…
"Is there any way I can show how truly sorry I am Lord Blackflame." She said and it caught me off guard. Lord Blackflame…I like that.
"Your name is Akeno right?" I asked as I pushed her up to a standing position. "You don't have to bow. I'm not that formal at all." I said and held her there, looking into her eyes. They were as beautiful as Brittany's it was crazy.
"I just feel terrible for the way my Master has treated you. Kiba and Koneko don't exactly share my compassion, but believe me they don't understand either." She said and I just faintly smiled.
"Don't worry about it Akeno. I think you should just do as your Master says, don't go getting in to trouble over me." I told her and she just looked flustered.
"But Lord Blackflame…I don't think its right for us to be fighting you." She said quietly and looked out the window on the other side of the room.
"I don't really understand it either. I've been going through a lot today and I needed time to calm down, that's why I didn't come down after your Master left. But, I really do think you should go back to her and have her explain herself to you." I said and Akeno nodded. I released her from my grasp and she started walking towards the door.
"I hope we get to be alone like this again Lord Blackflame. You are quite the legend aren't you?" She said and giggled a little, leaving me confused. A legend…does she know?
I watched my enemies' servants leave my home before making my way up the stairs and looking for my girls. I walked up and down the hallway calling for them.
"Girls, I'm home! Sorry about leaving like that, everything is okay now!" I called and I didn't hear a response. Not a good sigh…
I climbed up the stairs that lead to my room and looked around. The wall was still blown off and the bed was ripped in half. My clothes and books were blown all across the room and the cold night breeze made its way through the opening. I'm going to have to sleep with one of the girls tonight…oh that's going to start a fight.
Night had already fallen and I looked out across the big Japanese city before me. I could see the school in the distance and very far off…vaguely…a church? That must be where the fallen ones came from. But I can't go chasing after them by myself…I'm not as strong as I use to be. Really the only way I'd ever be that strong again is if I was able to wield the Blackflame again. Speaking of the Blackflame…
"Master you're back!" I heard a voice call behind me and I was immediately rushed by my two knights. They don't say knights have super speed for nothing…
"Brittany was right! Varian is safe!" Violet called and she threw herself against my chest. I wrapped my arms around her and held her tightly. I've got a lot of explaining to do...might as well prolong the hug.
"Master we were worried sick." Seraphin whined as she latched onto my arm. Is it only them? Where are the others?
"Girls, I promise that everything is okay. But where are the others?" I asked as I tried to pry them off me.
"Brittany, Aria, Asheln, Sara, and the two of us went searching for the fallen ones that beat you up. We couldn't get the mean girl's servants to leave so we left them with the others. Why? Where are the others?" Violet explained and I sighed. This is why you can't leave a peerage of teenage girls alone, ever!
"So you're telling me that two of my pawns and both my bishops were here, alone, with that girl's peerage?" I asked and both girls nodded. So that means that they left at some point and left the three others here alone…but why did they leave? This is quite puzzling.
"Who was here when you got back Master?" Seraphin asked.
"Rias's Queen, Knight, and Rook. That's all." I replied and the two knights shared a look.
"That means that the others left with that Issei boy and the nun girl…" Violet said and looked out the huge hole in the wall. She had that unnerving far off look on her face…not good. I do appreciate them not questioning the hole, they have their priorities straight.
"Well where would they have gone? Where is Brittany and the others? And how did you even know I was back?" I asked and the girls looked at one another, deciding who should explain.
"Well Brittany and the others were tracking down the fallen ones when she told us that a powerful force had returned, so she sent us to check if it was you." Violet explained and I nodded.
"Okay that sounds alright. As long as Brittany is being careful we should be fine." I said and the two girls smiled.
"Also, I believe the Issei boy and the nun girl left to take a stroll. We weren't going to let them leave the house, but I guess Jasmin's good nature allowed them to leave once we left. The others must have left with them to act as body guards or something." Seraphin finished and I tried to make sense of the situation. But one point bothered me…
"You guys left Jasmin in charge?" I asked and the two girls giggled a little.
"Probably not the best idea, sorry Master." Violet said and knocked herself on the head a bit. Jasmin is very smart, but I wouldn't leave her in charge of anything. She get's flustered really easily and she is way too nice and forgiving.
"Its fine I suppose. We just need to go out there and find the others and make sure everyone is safe." I said and the two girls nodded. They both pulled out their blades and the three of us made our way out of the house.
"Where do we go first?" I asked as the three of us stepped onto the sidewalk in front of the house.
"We should meet up with Brittany and the others in front of the school. That's where she told us to meet when we retrieved you." Seraphin explained and I nodded. We took off running down the street towards the school building.
We ran for a few minutes, taking in the quite, dark, suburban surroundings. All in all this was a nice and peaceful town, growing up here would have been awesome. I should ask Issei about that sometime.
We reached the bridge that lead into the school yard and stopped. Seraphin halted and held out her hand. She summoned a small black fireball and tossed it into the air. Our famous signal…
"Is that the Master?" Aria screamed before jumping over the wall that enclosed the school. She flew over the wall and slammed right into me, sending us tumbling to the ground. Her long purple hair cascaded all around me and she pressed her lips firmly against mine. Oh Aria…so cute.
"Master I was so worried! I'm going to beat that stupid red haired snob witch to a pulp next time I see her! No one hurts my Master like that and gets away with it." She declared and stood up, placing one hand firmly on her hip.
"Aria, stop being so sassy and obnoxious, let's give the Master some time and listen to what he has to say." Ashlen said as she slowly walked across the bridge and approached the small group. I stood up just in time to accept the cute blonde's hug.
"Hey girls. It's really nice to see you two. I know I have a lot of explaining to do…" I started but of course, I was cut off by an angry voice above me.
"You're damn right you do!" Brittany said as she hovered above us and slowly descended in front of me. She slapped me straight across the face before wrapping her arms around me in a hug.
"Why do you always have to do dumb stuff on your own. How come you never talk to me? Why do you have to make us worry all the time Varian?" She asked and I didn't exactly have an answer. I just held her and tried to keep her clam. She was on edge; she must really want to beat these fallen ones down.
"Brittany I promise everything is okay. I'll explain later though, right now we need to find the other's and make sure everyone is safe. Where did that little nun girl run off to?" I asked and I felt a small hand tug at the bottom of my t-shirt. I turned and saw the electric yellow hair of my strongest pawn in front of me.
"Sara! I'm so glad you're here! You're okay right?" I exclaimed and picked her up. I held her princess style and smiled at her.
"Yes Master I'm okay. Why do you always have to hold me so awkwardly though…?" She asked and made a pouty face as she blushed. Her words hurt yet make me smile at the same time!
"Awe Sara, don't be that way." I said and patted her head gently. The little blonde girl giggled and nuzzled a little closer to me, no matter how much she denies doing so. Then I heard a loud groan come from the girls behind me. I turned around with the little blonde cutie in my arms.
"What? I'm happy to see her okay." I said and the girls just looked away from me. Brittany, Ashlen, and Violet started walking to the other end of the bridge.
"If you're done flirting, we have a job to do Varian." Brittany said and I sighed. Why do they always have to get jealous? I smiled at Sara and started to put her down but she held onto me.
"No. I'm staying here." She said and looked at me, that unmoving, stern, look of hers. Man…I'm not gonna hear the end of this for the next week.
"So which way do we go now?" I asked as I approached the girls who were currently shunning me.
"The Nun and the others went to the park I believe." Sara said as she tightened her grip around my neck. I could have sworn I saw her stick out her tongue at Aria, and of course Aria did the same back. Why is everything a competition with these girls?
"Well we should be off then." I said, "Aria, Ashlen, Seraphin, you girls come with me. Brittany…" I started and then I saw Brittany flying off with her wind magic, and Violet close behind, jumping through the nearby trees and rooftops.
"Sara you should go with them too." I said and before the girl could even argue she was picked up by a strong breeze and she was blown right behind Brittany. Man that wind magic is strong stuff…
"Alright girls, let's bring up the rear." I said and the three girls nodded, probably happy to be alone with me and rid of the little one. We took off, jumping from rooftop to rooftop and soaring across the small suburban strip. We eventually reached the park and I couldn't believe my eyes.
"Jasmin, Amy! What happened?" I called and landed right next to the two unconscious girls. The area around us looked like a battle ground. There was a huge pool of water that had originally had columns placed around it, but now they were all in ruin. Someone or something had attacked the girls and…wait…where's the Nun and Issei and Tera and Ella?
"Jasmin! Please be okay!" I begged as I shook her body and lit my finger alight with blue flames. I pulled up her blue t-shirt and saw a small cut across her ribs. A light spear…
"Fallen ones." I muttered and started to apply pressure to Jasmin's wound. Her dark blue hair was thrown all over the place and her clothes were filthy. They must have gotten roughed up a bit.
"Seraphin, Aria! Bring Amy over her and expose her wound. Ashlen, try and locate Ella and Tera as best you can." I commanded and the girls nodded. Aria carried Amy's body over and laid her on the other side of me while Seraphin examined her figure. The small pink haired girl was pretty beat up and had blood splotches on her face and arms. She must have gotten it worse than Jasmin…her loud mouth probably.
"Okay Seraphin start channeling some of the magic fire into her wound and take out the light poison. Aria you go help Ashlen and keep an eye out for the other three." I told them and the girls set to work again. I was already getting light headed from the light poison going into me and I even heard Seraphin groan in pain. It must be getting to her too.
"Master, Brittany and the others are almost here." Ashlen called and I looked up to be immediately greeted by Brittany landing in front of me.
"What happened here Varian?" She asked a kneeled next to me.
"Looks like those fallen one's came back. They must have taken Ella and Tera and the Nun and Issei." I explained and Brittany's face fell.
"What could that Nun have that is so important?" She asked and I shrugged.
"I have no clue, but don't worry about it. We're getting them back for this no matter what. Take Violet and Seraphin and figure out where they are hiding out. I'll bring Aria and Ashlen in a bit and we'll take it to them." I told her and she smiled at me.
"Now that's the Varian I know." She said and I turned away from her. I hate it when she gets excited about my violent side. I wanted her to make me less violent not…encourage it. I felt her stand up and walk away, explaining the plan to the others as she walked away.
"Come on Jasmin, open those pretty red eyes…come on." I begged and cupped her cheek. I gently kissed her forehead and pressed mine against hers. I held her there, our heads pushed together.
"Just please get back up." I muttered.
"Ma…Master?" She groaned and relief washed over me.
"Jasmin, thank Lucifer you're okay. Do you remember what happened?" I asked her and brought her up to a sitting position.
"Not really. I remember that those fallen angels attacked us and took the Nun and Ella and Tera away. She left the Issei boy, Amy, and myself unconscious. That's all I remember. She was so strong Master…she and those other two fallen ones." Jasmin explained and I nodded slowly. Looks like we're going hunting tonight.
"Do you know where they took the girls?" I asked and Jasmin grabbed my hand.
"Master, don't fight them! Just try to save the girls in another way! What if something bad happens?" Jasmin pleaded but I'd already made up my mind. I put a calming hand over hers and smiled at her.
"Now don't go doubting me Jasmin. When have I ever been wrong?" I asked and she just giggled at me.
"I guess that's true, but I'm coming with you." She said and tried to stand up. I just sighed and pulled her back down.
"No, stay here with Amy and try to bring her back. The rest of us will handle this, I promise." I said and stood up. I wasn't actually feeling all that confident though. If they wanted this Nun girl this badly then whatever they're planning is gonna be bad. I've got to at least try and stop them. And save my pawns of course! They took my girls, no one takes my girls.
"Ashlen, Aria, let's go." I said and the girls flanked me on both sides.
"What's the plan Master?" Ashlen asked and started to crack her knuckles.
"We go in, we beat people up, we save the damsels, we kill the fallen ones, and we leave." I said confidently.
"Sounds like every other plan you've come up with Master." Aria said and started giggling. I turned to my two Rooks and smiled confidently.
"And when has one of my plans not worked?" I asked and the two girls started laughing.
"Good point Master, let's go get em." Aria called and the two girls sprinted off out of the park.
I jumped up to the top of one of the trees and looked out across the dark suburban city. There was a huge mountain right in front of me and, on one its bluffs, was the same old church.
"Seems like a good place to start." I said and jumped off towards the old run down house of God.
