(A/N) Hello guys! It's been awhile! I missed you and writing this fic. So review! And also, please do enjoy!
LINE BREAK
Gabriel sighed. She was sitting inside the locker room. The last competition just ended. Her competition. The dodgeball competition, which was the most awaited in the whole ball event. She hated the thin sheet of sweat that covered her skin. She was wearing the jersey Issei gave her. It was a bit bigger than her size and it seems to her that Issei intended this. Gabriel still looked good but she hated the jersey, it was too large. Then she smiled, Issei must have done this because he didn't want other boys to look at her as she played.
The game itself was not that hard, but having to control how she throws the ball and at the same time avoiding the incoming balls was hard. Especially, since the balls being thrown towards her were full of anger. Especially the Occult Research Club, almost every girl there seems like they wanted to kill her. Since she was the "fiancée" of Issei Hyoudou and she was up against girls that were addicted to HER Issei. She blew a strand of her hair, rolling her eyes. Issei was hers. She stood up, groaning as cracking of bones resounded throughout the locker room.
Her hair was disheveled but she still looked good. Gabriel started taking of her jersey.
"Gabbie!" Issei called out happily. "I wante-"
"Don't come in!"
Too late. Issei's jaw dropped as Gabriel, biting the hem of the jersey, frozen, in the process of removing her jersey. The sports bra she was wearing showed a bit of her cleavage and her perfect stomach. Issei instantly covered his eyes as Gabriel squealed. "Issei, you pervert!"
"I'm sorry! I didn't know." And oddly, some kind of voice and even his mind wanted to remove his hand, but he wouldn't do that to his Gabbie.
"Well you should have known better! Don't you know this is the girls' locker room!?"
"What?" Issei turned towards the sign that clearly said, "NO BOYS". "Oh." He said. "Sorry."
"Why did you come in here in the first place?" Gabriel asked, now a little calmer. She sat down the wooden bench and putted on her shirt that had a sign saying, "You can look but she is mine". Gabriel noticed that Issei had an identical shirt that said, "You can look but he is mine". Gabriel blushed at this, but nodded in approval. She wrapped her arms around Issei who removed his hands that covered his eyes when he felt the silky soft skin of his princess. "That's right." Gabriel said, giggling. She started tying her hair into a ponytail.
"What's right?" Issei raised a brow. Gabriel giggled at her Issei, his hair was very messy and wet. She started fixing his hair. Issei blushed.
Gabriel had to stand into tiptoes so she could reach him. When she landed to her soles, she was eye to eye with Issei. She thought he looked handsome. She wrapped her arms around his and giggled, "That you are mine."
Issei laughed, "And you're mine." They started climbing out the locker room. They were in the volleyball court. Most of the students left except the devils who were talking to the seraphs. Issei and Gabriel laughed at how their family were uncomfortable at how the students stared at them. Muttering "So that is Issei-san's family", "Wow, that guy with a shirt is hot.", "Oh my god. The girl with a silver braid is the love of my life." All throughout the competition. The devils, were at first, uncomfortable with the seraphs since, they are the seraphs. Only the satans will be able to match these four in power and they were in the school, all together. But eventually, Michael approached them and started a conversation with them. By the end of the competition, the awkward silence was gone.
"And Issei said, "Michael-sama, I don't like this ice cream."" Michael said laughingly. The devils were also laughing.
Issei joined them, "What about me?"
"Oh I was just telling them of how when you were still little, and you ate the scoop of wasabi, thinking it was ice cream." Michael said, wheezing.
"Hey!"
"Issei-kun! Sorry we're late!"
Issei turned around to see Irina and Xenovia in casual clothes they bought. Although, their holy swords were still strapped to their backs. They started walking towards Issei. "Hey, Irina. Xenovia. Meet my fathers, Uriel, Raphael, and Michael."
Irina and Xenovia stared dumbly at the three unusually handsome guys that had identical pale skin and were tall, taller than Issei. "T-The s-seraphs for r-real?" Xenovia stuttered.
Irina fainted. Issei caught her just in time before she hit the ground. Xenovia also fainted when Uriel offered his hand to shake. "Ok, then." Uriel said, raising a brow in confusion.
"Relax, their just a wee bit surprised to be meeting their leaders." Gabriel giggled, "So, can I stay at Issei's house this weekend? Please, Michael-oniisama, please!" She said in puppy dog eyes. Uriel, Michael, and Raphael gulped. Their only weakness was probably each other and their baby sister. They would do anything for her. The puppy dog eyes and pout she was making made them want to give her a teddy bear. Even if she was all grown up and beautiful and powerful and all that, she was still and always will be their baby sister. "Sure." Michael barely croaked.
"Woohoo!" Gabriel danced as Issei laughed. Dulio had his arms wrapped around Asia as Griselda fanned the two unconscious holy sword wielders.
The devils were flabbergasted with how the angels are acting, very carefree. They didn't have the complex hierarchy the devils had. They were simply one, big, strong, and happy family. They thought that the seraph was supposed to be treated like a king, or queen. But they were wrong. Everyone became silent when the slamming of the door resounded throughout the whole court. Everyone turned to the shut door. "Kiba." Rias said sadly.
"Ok, then. Us, seraphs, beside Gabriel, has to go since heaven need leaders also. Griselda, you coming?" Uriel asked.
Griselda was going to stand up when a violet magic circle appeared right in front of her. Out came Azazel. "Hey!" Azazel greeted, waving his hand.
Griselda and Azazel stared at each other, before turning back, blushing. The angels raised their eyebrows in surprise. While the devils scratched their heads, wondering what exactly is happening. First, angels. Next, fallen angels? What is happening?
"Yes, I am coming, Uriel-sama." She said, stuttering. She gave Issei a sisterly kiss, and patted Dulio's head, before shyly waving bye-bye at Azazel. Azazel looked like he just saw the loveliest girl in his life, dreamily waving back. Unknown to the two, Philip was there, chuckling, firing his arrows of love.
"Bye, guys!" Issei waved at the devils. Gabriel was beside him, chuckling. Dulio and Asia were following them, waving bye at the devils. Rias allowed Asia to stay at the angels' house for the weekend. The two holy sword-wielders were being carried by Issei. They kept muttering words that can't be understood. Azazel congratulated everyone before leaving for his vacation to Hawaii, which really isn't a vacation since he is there to hunt lava monsters for the new sacred gear he is working on.
LINE BREAK
Kiba listened to the puddles he was stepping to. It was raining very hard. He ignored the cold he was feeling as the water trickled down his body. He stared at the ground, remembering all the painful memories he had with the holy swords. How can he forget? They all died and he was the one privileged to live. But what did he do? He joined a competition, a dodgeball competition, instead of exacting revenge for his friends. He knew he was saddening his president, his friends, his group, and the one he treated as a little sister, Koneko and he didn't want that. But he had to do this. He had to take revenge. That's the right thing to do.
He still can't believe he rebelled against his president. The one who saved him. He was cut out of his musing when a priest stumbled towards him. The priest had the signature golden cross around his neck. Blood was pouring out of his stomach and he fell down the puddles. The blood instantly spread. Kiba didn't know what he was to do, was he supposed to help the priest, or to kill him. He has a hatred for priests, they were the main reasons of why the experiments were created. He froze, unable to decide.
Then Kiba sensed a powerful killing intent. He twisted his body, summoning an ice demonic sword. He knew this man. This boy priest. He figured it out. The priest was attacked by this boy priest that was giving off a disgusting smile, Freed Zelzan.
"Oh, I see you're still in this town. Sorry, I'm in a bad mood today." Kiba said angrily. The white haired crazy priest still had that same smile that ticked him off before.
The priest laughed, "Is that so? Well, that's good timing. I am getting tired of priest hunting. Very good. Nice timing indeed. I wanted to have a rematch with you. Just you and me, no stupid angel ruining things with a stupid kick this time, right?"
The long sword he had in his hands started to glow, radiating a blue aura. Kiba's eyes widened. He knew what sword that was. That was the Excalibur itself.
"H-How did you get that?" Kiba asked, summoning a lightning demonic swords. He held both his demonic swords forward, getting angry every second. The rain poured even harder now. Kiba could barely see Freed. The only thing he sees clearly was the glowing sword in Freed's hands.
Kiba could tell that this was an impossible battle to win. 'This is bad.' He thought bitterly.
LINE BREAK
Gabriel hurriedly unlocked the door to Issei's home and opened it, letting Issei pass first since he was carrying the two surprisingly heavy holy sword wielders. It started raining out of nowhere and apparently, Dulio was still too drained to try stop the rain. Issei laid the two slumbering girls down to the sofa softly. Gabriel giggled at Issei who looked tired, pulling him into the kitchen. The two heard the door close. Dulio and Asia must have entered and gone upstairs. "Will you be cooking dinner?" Issei asked hopefully. Gabriel rolled her eyes, smiling. She took Issei's apron and snapped her fingers, creating a chef's hat out of thin air, she wore it, letting some of her white blonde strands fall to her angelic face, "Is this enough for an answer?"
Issei laughed, "What will you be cooking?"
"How about crispy fried chicken? It's been a while since we had that." Gabriel wondered. Issei nodded in agreement.
"Only thing is; I haven't bought chicken. Don't worry, I'll go buy now."
Gabriel frowned, "But it's raining." She looked out the window, glaring at Issei firmly. "Hard at that."
"Have you ever heard of umbrellas, my princess?"
Issei barely dodged a spatula that stabbed itself to the wall. He laughed at the pissed Gabriel before running out the kitchen, narrowly avoiding a frying pan. "Geez, you're gonna break things in here. Griselda's gonna think it's us that made a mess. Try to control your anger, oh my." Issei gulped as Gabriel held three spatulas. Gabriel was the best in ranged combat out of the four seraphs. Be it a dagger, a bow, or a sling, she always gets the bullseye.
Issei quickly scurried out of the door, taking the nearest umbrella, a black one, and running away before he get stabbed by Gabriel's spatulas. Issei groaned, the rain really is hard. He skillfully avoided the puddles and made his way to the city. By then, the rain started to calm down to light drizzle. He closed his umbrella and looked at the mirror in the shop.
He groaned, "Great, now my hair's messy." He complained. And his t-shirt was wet, allowing the lucky girls he came by to stare at his body that wasn't hidden by the white shirt. The girls ignored the "Keep looking but he's mine" line and watched him go like there's no tomorrow.
Issei entered the supermarket, giving the guard his wet umbrella. The supermarket was big, but it was easy to locate where the chicken was. There were these huge signs that hanged from the wall that said what type of product can be found there. The supermarket was also bright lit, golden bright. The walls and the floor was also golden, which reminded Issei of Heaven. He ignored the annoying squishing sound his wet shoes made and stride towards the chicken section, buying one half of a chicken and taking back his umbrella.
Issei thanked the security guard before looking to the store directly towards him, across the streets. Koneko was at the next store, a manga store. He checked his watch, cursing as it got destroyed by water, shrugging, then going in the store. "Koneko-chan!" He greeted.
Koneko's eyes widened. Issei noticed her pale cheeks become bright red, "Hello, Issei-kun." She said, hiding something behind her back. Issei raised a brow in curiosity. Whenever he looked to the side to try and see what it was, Koneko made this cute sound, turning away from his gaze. Although she didn't ask him to stop so he kept doing it. He ignored the staring of the other jealous boys, that wanted to talk to Koneko like he was doing right now, and also ignored the drooling of the girls, who wanted to be approached by him.
Koneko blushed. She was scanning through her secretly favorite manga, which is a bit on the pervy side, but then Issei came in with a wet, see-through shirt. Letting the world see his, Koneko thinks, a magnificent body. She held the smooth surface of her manga and hid it behind her. She feared that if she sweated more out of nervousness, the manga might fall from her fingers and Issei will know what she habitually read. Issei was an angel so he certainly wouldn't like something like this.
"W-What are you doing here, Ise-kun?" Koneko asked. She scolded herself for sounding nervous.
Issei noticed the strange edge on her voice but decided to not ask her about it and smiled back, "No, actually, I was just buying chicken for Gabriel when I saw you on the other side of the street, inside the store directly towards me. So, hey, why not greet you, no? There's nothing wrong with that." He looked around the manga store. It was ordinary looking, unlike the supermarket which was golden all over. But what surprised him was the manga they were selling. It had strange covers, like girls and octopuses? Issei scratched his head, wondering what exactly was happening in the book. Thinking it was some kind of hero manga, he took it and tried to open it but Koneko grabbed it from his hands with surprising strength and speed and quickly threw it to the other side of the store. "Koneko-chan? Is there something wrong?" He asked with concern.
Koneko sighed in relief. She wouldn't let someone as innocent and pure as Issei fall because he accidentally opened a pervy manga. She could tell that Issei didn't have the slightest idea what he just took, and she was glad she threw it. "It's nothing, Ise-kun." She pushed the whole shelf down, making the owner of the store jaw drop. She gave the owner a 'talk to you later' look and smiled at Issei nervously. "Oh, my. I am very sorry, Ise-kun. Looks like the copies of the book are all over the floor. Whelp, better go now, Shoo." She said almost obviously.
"What?" Issei asked, "Don't be ridiculous. I can easily find it." Issei started to bend down but Koneko started saying no rapidly. She pushed a confused Issei out of the store.
Her heart fluttered when Issei cutely tilted his head in confusion, "Was there something I did wrong, Koneko-chan?" He asked softly.
Koneko quickly shook her head. She destroyed the door knob to the store and smiled, "Oh, don't worry, Ise-kun. It's fine. Nothing's wrong. Gabriel must be waiting for you. You must return." She said firmly but nervously.
Issei looked reluctant, but the image of Gabriel angry made him start walking. "Ok, then." He said, still looking at Koneko in confusion. "I guess I'll see you next week then."
Koneko watched Issei fade to the crowd, sighing in relief. There were a few men that won't stare you down, and Issei was one of them. She wouldn't let Issei become a pervert like most of them. She closed her eyes, before gazing at the sign. She groaned, Issei went the other way. He was going the wrong way. Koneko was going to chase after Issei but the banging of the door prevented her to do so. She smiled nervously as she saw the ruckus she made. "This was worth it. To not let another worthy man to fall to the hell of pervertedness."
Issei looked around, confused. He scratched the back of his head. "I could have sworn this was supposed to be where I live." He puffed his cheeks out in disappointment and confusion, like how a kid does in trying to solve a very hard equation. He started walking the other way when he felt a tingle go up his spine. He whirled around quickly, rain started pouring again. This time harder. Issei struggled to see anything, except the stick of glowing light that seemed to dance. "Killing intent?" He asked to no one in particular.
LINE BREAK
Sona sighed. "Saji, stop that."
Saji pouted. He was singing a romantic song for Sona. It hurts when Sona reject or turns him down like this but he was determined. He would never give up in the conquest of getting his president. "Ok." He said joyously, but Sone knew that he was hurt.
Sona felt guilty, "You know what, maybe you can buy some snacks and maybe we can watch a movie together." Sona said, rather reluctantly. But she knew she hurt Saji and she had to make it up to him.
Saji's mood immediately elevated, "Yes!" He grabbed a nearby umbrella, "I will immediately go after that ass- I mean the snacks! The snacks of course."
LINE BREAK (I don't know if it fits the scene but while I was writing this, I was listening to "Bridge to the Other Side" by Lind Erebros. It's a song from shadow fight 2. I am not a fan of the game but I like the soundtrack.)[Put it in replay]
Kiba fell down the ground, spitting out the rain water that came in his mouth. He pressed his hand hard to his shoulder that had a deep stab wound. The puddle of water he fell into was completely mixed with blood now. He groaned. He has no energy left to summon another demonic sword. He was fighting, no, he was trying to stay alive for the last thirty minutes. He looked up the sky. "It's raining hard again, huh."
"You're boring." Freed lazily said, spinning his glowing sword. "You're no challenge at all. You sure you're a swordsman and not a ballet dancer? You're graceful, yes, but you don't seem to be capable of landing a single strike on me."
Kiba laughed. He stood up, groaning at the pain of his shoulder. The last half an hour, Freed played with him like a hunter to a prey. He barely stayed alive, he was about to die of blood loss. He laughed bitterly, and he failed being Kiba Yuuto by disrespecting the president and failed being a friend for not being able to exact revenge. But Freed, or rather Freed's sword was simply too strong for him to beat. It broke every single demonic sword he summoned. Lightning, break, ice, break, rock, break, dark, break. Every single demonic sword he knows, he tried to summon, but he can't. The only thing that kept him alive was his speed and agility. If not for that…he would be a chess piece.
He was holding the last of his demonic sword, another ice sword. "Come on, you bastard. I'll kill you."
"Haha. Why does it seem to me like it's the other way around?" Freed dashed towards Kiba faster than he can process and he got headbutted. Kiba staggered back.
"Since you are going to die, I might as well reveal to you my intentions." Freed said, stabbing hi Excalibur to the ground. "After I turn you into a chess piece, I will hunt your teammates down and play with them first, before I slit their throats." Freed started licking his lips, laughing darkly.
Kiba growled, horrified at the idea. He swore that he would protect Rias's peerage since he was the only male there. The idea of his precious teammates getting touched by this disgusting beast made him furious, "I will make sure you never get to do that!" He screamed, charging at Freed.
Excalibur went straight through his stomach. Kiba got kicked, at the same time, Excalibur slid right out of him. He landed once again at the puddle of water-blood mix. He watched as Freed licked his sword clean of his blood. Kiba questioned if this guy really was human. "You disgusting freak." Kiba wheezed out, spitting blood out of his mouth. He hated the metallic rusty taste of blood. Freed walked towards him, stomping hard at his chest. Kiba spitted out blood every time Freed stomped. He could practically feel how his ribcage is breaking.
"Don't worry. You won't get to play with my family." Kiba coughed. Freed stopped his stomping, "What did you say, pretty boy?"
"I said, you deaf bastard, that you won't get to play with my family. Issei-san and Dulio-san would be there to stop you." Kiba laughed, despite the blood covered teeth he had. "Someone as weak and slow as you will be no match against Issei and Dulio-san."
Freed bellowed angrily, "Shut up you fucking weakling." He stomped Kiba's stomach this time. But Kiba kept laughing victoriously. "I said shut up!" Freed started to continuously stomp at Kiba. Kiba never stopped laughing, chuckling, or mocking Freed despite the intense pain he was feeling.
"Hey, you!" Freed turned around.
"Stop that!" It was Saji Genshirou.
LINE BREAK
Gabriel looked out the window worriedly. She had hair in a chignon, with some strands falling down her face. She rested her chin on her palm and sighed, "Where are you, Issei?"
A knock on the door made her mood change from sad too happy. She excitedly walked towards the door and opened it. It was Koneko, who was very wet and was shivering. Gabriel instantly grabbed a nearby coat and threw it on Koneko, closing the door but not before letting Koneko in. Koneko started to take off her clothes. "Is Ise-kun here?"
"No," Gabriel said worriedly, "he is currently not here. I wonder where he is. I am worried sick."
Koneko groaned, "I came across him."
This piqued Gabriel's interest, "And?"
"I accidentally sent him the other way."
Gabriel groaned," Issei isn't very good in directions." She would have laughed at the statement if only she wasn't worried for Issei. Now that they know that the enemy wants her Issei, he could always be in potential trouble.
Koneko shivered, "Do you want me to find Ise-kun?"
"No, the rain is simply pouring too hard now. I can barely see anything but the street lights." Gabriel chewed her lower lip. She tried to ask Dulio to stop the rain and Dulio tried, but fainted as the result. He must have been worried to and pushed himself too hard. Now Asia is upstairs, healing Dulio. Xenovia and Irina were still mumbling in their sleep and so Koneko and she were the only ones awake.
The phone's ringing pierced the silence. Gabriel immediately picked it up, silently hoping it was her Issei. Koneko walked beside her, also silently hoping it was Issei. To their disappointment, it was Rias. But she sounded distress, her breathing was ragged and they could tell by the sniffing that she was crying. Koneko immediately put the phone in speaker phone, worried for her president. "Rias?" Gabriel asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Gabriel! Gabriel? Please give the phone to Ise-kun." Rias said pleadingly.
"Sadly, he is not here right now. What is the problem?" Gabriel asked.
"Kiba, it's Kiba. I can sense that his life force is quickly depleting. I already sent Akeno to fly around the area when the rain started pouring hard. She fell down the ground. No one can fly in these conditions. The rain simply is too hard. Can't you try asking Dulio to stop the rain?" Rias asked. Koneko was horrified with what she just heard. The one she treated as her older brother was going to die!?
Gabriel said solemnly, "I am sorry to hear that. I tried asking Dulio to stop the rain and he tried but he fainted as a result. I think he was too drained by Issei's divide."
"I really think this rain is not natural. It is too powerful."
LINE BREAK
"Huh?" Freed scratched his head, "Another devil fool?"
"You let go of him right now!" Saji said, stuttering in fright. He never did once, have he battled against anyone, let alone an exorcist with a wicked looking sword and deadly attitude. He wanted to run and pretend he never met the guy but that would be unmanly. And abandoning a friend, in this case Kiba, was never in his attitude.
"Or what?"
"Or…Or…I'll…" Saji grabbed his arm, "I will seep your blood!"
"Run!" Kiba wheezed out.
"Hell no, Kiba! I won't let you die here!"
"Then die with him then!" Freed said. He dashed towards Saji who narrowly avoided the glowing blade that almost sliced his head in half. Saji kept dodging Freed's attacks. Freed kept slashing at Saji but somehow, no matter how fast he slashed, Saji kept dodging them.
"What are you doing!? Fight me boy!"
"I am fighting you!" A black lizard with a deformed face suddenly appeared on Saji's arms. "This is Absorption Line. This is my Sacred Gear!" A thick velvety tongue suddenly wrapped all around Freed. It started to glow and immediately, Freed started to feel his energy slowly depleting.
But to the surprise of the two, Freed merely laughed, "You think something weak like some kind of stupid line will be able to stop Excalibur!?" Freed easily cut off the tongue and sent the sword flying towards Saji. It stabbed itself through Saji. Saji looked at the sword in surprise. A burning feeling immediately started spreading throughout his body. It hurts so much. Saji stared at the sword in surprise, he tried to grab it but he burned his palm in the process and he hissed.
"No! Saji!" Kiba screamed.
"Mwahahahaha! So pathetic. You're even a lot more weaker than this pretty boy here!" Freed said. He walked towards Saji who kept staring at his blood which started trickling down his pants. It felt so painful yet the numbing feeling that spread throughout his body was so good.
"Saji! Don't! That's a holy sword! Don't let the feeling get to you! It will kill you!"
Saji started trying to pull the sword out but the sword kept burning him or it slipped out of his wet arm. He can barely see anything but he knew the crazy priest was approaching him. The numbing feeling was spreading even more. Unknown to Saji, he was starting glow. That means he was about to be purified. And for devils, that meant total annihilation.
"Saji, damn it! Snap out it!"
"Here," Freed said, he pulled the sword out. "Let me help you." He stabbed it back again.
"Saji!"
"I told you to shut up, you fucking weakling!" Freed approached Kiba and started stomping again.
Issei narrowed his eyes at the glowing light. He just heard screaming, cursing, and laughing at that area, despite the hard rain. He has a bad feeling about the light. The chicken he bought was sealed in a light ball that keeps it protected from water and is floating beside him. Issei has been sensing strange power from the area, a holy yet unholy power that made Issei shiver. He spent his time turning around before looking at the house, making sure that he wasn't hallucinating or something. "I could have sworn this was my house." He made a "hmm" sound, stroking an imaginary beard.
Another barrage of crazed laughter was heard at the area. He really was starting get really curious. "Oh well. Might as well check it out."
"Here, let me help you!"
"Saji!"
"I told you to shut up, you fucking weakling!"
Issei started running towards the area. He is sensing the wicking out of a life force. Someone is about to die. What Issei saw horrified and surprised him. A large puddle of blood and water around Kiba who was looking at the white haired crazy priest that Issei remembered he knocked out. The crazed priest kept stomping at Kiba. He also saw Saji there shaking, mouth and eyes glowing.
"Stop right there." Issei said with barely controlled anger. Seeing both his friends in that state made him angry, extremely angry.
Kiba turned to the familiar voice, before smiling. "Ise-san." He muttered before using the last of his strength to kick Freed in the balls. Freed fell down, tears in his eyes. "You're going to die now, bastard." Kiba said, before fainting.
"Hello, you stupid nosy angel. I have been wanting to remove feathers from a beautiful bird like you. Why don't you show me your beautiful wings?" Freed asked, grabbing Excalibur as support.
Issei unfolded his wings. Freed looked on in amazement. "It's been awhile since I saw an angel's wings." Before his eyes turned to bloodlust, "Now give that wings to me or do I have to cut it off you?!" He asked crazily.
Issei chuckled, he made a hand gun. At the very tip of his finger was a small green light. "Bang."
A very thin beam of light shot straight through Freed. Not even with the help of Excalibur Rapidly was he able to block Issei's beam of green light. It literally shot through the hard pouring rain. Freed looked on in surprise, "W-What just happened?" He asked himself. Before staggering backwards, he looked at where Issei shot him. A small hole was present. He gritted his teeth in anger, "You stupid fucking angel. You are too nosy for your own good. Yah think you're so powerful. I will show you what real power is real soon. You better prepare." Freed said, smiling painfully.
"Bang, bang, bang." Issei said coolly while pointing his finger at Freed who tried to run. Immediately, three green beams of light shot through Freed again. He flew back instantly at the third shot. "Don't you know how they say 'Don't bring a knife in a gunfight?'." Issei asked innocently and mockingly.
"This is not a knife you dumb angel." Freed croaked.
"But it is, when you are wielding it."
"Bang." The green beam shot straight to the rain but was blocked by a violet magic circle, but unlike Azazel's elegant one, this was dirty. And who came out agitated Issei very much. It was Kokabiel.
"My, my. Dear Issei! How I missed you and your…" Kokabiel licked his lips with his long, slimy tongue, gesturing at Issei's see through shirt. "Godly body and looks."
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…" Issei kept shooting his green beam and all of them were blocked besides the one that shot through one of Kokabiel's wings. He hissed in pain and moaned in pleasure, "Ohh, Issei. That hurts. Please don't stop."
Issei almost threw up in disgust. "Bang." Blocked again.
"Now, now. I am spending too much of my time here. Don't worry, my dear Issei. We will spend quality time when I conquer the great factions. Just you wait. I merely came here to see you and save my pawn." Kokabiel said laughingly and looked at Freed with disgust and mock. "Stand up, you white haired weakling. I didn't have him assemble the Excaliburs for you to play with and lose. Hay! Why did he choose you pathetic weakling again!?" Kokabiel complained, holding up Freed by the throat. Kokabiel was considerably much taller than Freed so he easily can strangle him. Kokabiel summoned a portal and waved Issei goodbye before going in and disappearing.
Issei immediately ran towards Kiba. "Kiba, hang on!"
Kiba opened his eyes, laughing. "Aha. Sorry, Issei-san. I have been cold to everyone lately and yet you still came to save me." He laughed again, his signature light laughter, "I am unworthy of saving. I disrespected and rebelled against my president and failed to get revenge for my friends." He looked at the sky, smiling sadly. The rain has stopped now. "I failed both my old and new life." He looked at Saji sadly, "I even bought poor Saji into this mess."
"Don't be silly." Issei said. He snapped his fingers and immediately, a golden capsule wrapped around Kiba. Another golden capsule encased the shaking Saji. Both floated like how the chicken he bought did. "I'll fly you to Rias. You get rest there."
"Please don't. I am unworthy."
"Stop with the unworthy thingy. I am flying you to Occult Research Clubroom in Kuoh Academy and you get rest there with your president. After that, you try to apologize with your actions. We will eventually figure things out." He said comfortingly.
LINE BREAK
"Yes, don't worry. I will take care of Saji."
"Please do." Sona said at the other side of the phone.
"What happened exactly?" Gabriel asked, frying the chicken Issei bought.
"Oh it's a long story." Gabriel noticed Issei's eyes glaze, "Let's just say, I am very glad I decided to go there or else..." He paused, "Saji would be nothing but dust and Kiba a chess piece."
Gabriel told Issei that Koneko would be staying with them for the night since she fell asleep waiting for Issei. She took the second guest room. Issei bought the two sword wielders to their room, the first guest room. And Asia fell asleep on top of Dulio, probably exhausted from using up her energy. Trying to heal Dulio.
"I see. Well, it would be a long night then." Gabriel said cheerfully. She laid the mouth-watering fried chicken on the table. And also the hot steamed rice. "Besides, I cooked you dinner. I deserve to know."
"Well," Issei said, grinning. "a long night it is."
Gabriel giggled, "I will sleep in your room, alright?"
"Sure. I would love to watch a movie before we sleep though."
"Certainly. Now let's eat. Ohayo Gozaimasu!" Gabriel cheered delightedly before digging in the food. If anyone sees her, that person would wonder how she stays fit with how fast she is at drilling the food.
Issei ate his slowly, relishing the taste of steamed rice in his mouth. "No one can really beat your cooking, Gabriel."
Gabriel blushed, "Stop it. Now start telling that long story of yours. And your reason must be legit. You made me worry so much for you."
Issei chuckled, he stood up and took out a pitcher of cold water. He poured Gabriel one and poured one for himself also. "Ok then. It all started when you tried to kill me with a spatula…"
"Hey!"
