Rayne lies in a single room recovering from his wounds after what just happened out there on the dam, thanks to Rossweisse she got them all back to the inn in one piece however this strange demon is still out there as it fled after they left, must have used the water as a current to escape for now and will likely return again.
The Sekirei's stays in the lounge room relaxing and catching a break, Tsukiumi was outside standing on the roof top and looking up at the moon as it shines brightly out here. Miya just came to the lounge room to hand them all a cup of tea while Rossweisse was in Rayne's room, she was healing his body with her abilities while he still remains unconscious, just to boost his regeneration quickly.
Uzume was walking down the hallways drinking her cup of tea but she stops and notices Rossweisse healing him, she was shock to see his wounds regenerate and his face as well healing like his attacks never happened. She watches her for a while then looks out seeing Homura walking over, watching as well but looks back to her.
"Devils huh... they really are different than us."
"Yeah..." She looks back to her healing "They are..."
The two returns to the lounge room to wait while Rossweisse finally healed his body but he needs to sleep for a while, she decides to leave the room and leave the rest to him. She will come to the lounge room wearing her regular clothing seeing the others drinking some tea, she too took part of it and started to explain to them what's happening right now and who she is.
"I have been sent here by Rias Gremory to watch over Rayne, to keep an eye on him once she found out he was here in this city. I didn't expect he would gather Sekirei's this quickly." She looks at them all then to the center "Rayne doesn't know me yet, Rias wanted someone here so he doesn't find out however i can only interfere if something bad happens which i was right to follow him to the dam."
"What was that demon we faced up there?" Shiryuu asks
"It's called an Archfiend what i have heard of, it was created by a weapon called 'Annihilation Maker' used to do the bidding of a fallen angel named Kokabiel. He's the reason why the demons are here and so i am here to help Rayne, make sure that he gets the job done by removing him and the weapon."
"This place is really sealed tight isn't it?" Musubi said then looks to Matsu
"Well..." She place her finger on her glasses to push them back "They did create this shield around this city just to make sure no Sekirei leaves, not sure what they will do about the demon infestation."
"But aren't they all armed to the teeth?" Homura intervenes "We saw out there that the MBI have stationed hundreds of men on the exits of this city, surely they won't let the demons break through."
"True your weapons might be able to push back the demon hordes, but if they continue coming in waves and if just one exit was to be cleared... chaos will spread across the world, thus creating the war."
"Then we have to stop this Kokabiel." Musubi said and stands up
"There is also a problem that once the shield goes down then the demons will attack, it's best to go after Kokabiel first so that once he is gone then the demons will likely scatter. We can destroy them before we remove the shield however with what we have here, it's best to call for help which will means that Rias and her party will arrive here, which we could win against Kokabiel."
"What about Riser?" Homura asks
"Oh yes i forgot about him." Rossweisse thinks for a while "Well... i don't know what exactly we have to do with Riser, he might intervene again but we do have approval to fight him here after all he participated in this tournament, anything can happen here just as long as we don't try to kill him here."
"But how can we kill an immortal guy?" Uzume asks
"Sadly i do not know yet..."
They all let a deep sighs out while Miya just sits there looking at them. "Well now... we should just rest for the time being, doing all of this now at midnight isn't a good idea." She stands up "Come, you all have done enough work here and it's time to rest."
Rossweisse stands up "Sorry for having all of this mess in your home." She bows "Allow me to help you around this place, it's at least i can do for you all."
"Why thank you Rossweisse."
So mostly everyone went to bed except for a few people, Musubi was in her bed but was still awake having her head to the side to an empty bed where Rayne used to sleep, she has a worried look and really wishes for him to come back here again. Tsukiumi was still outside sitting on the roof still wearing Rayne's coat around her, she just got her clothes fixed thanks to Miya and decided to wait here until Rayne wakes up so she can face him when he's awake. Uzume was still thinking about that whole healing process with Rossweisse and Rayne's regenerations, she couldn't get it out of her head but she did started to think back seeing someone that appears to be a young girl sitting in a wheelchair turning her head towards Uzume having a smile on her face, she really needed help however she doesn't wish to say anything at this time.
Rossweisse was in a room next to the room Rayne is sleeping, having an apron over her clothes and was trying to call someone on her phone and moves her phone to her ear when she dialled the right numbers, looking out at the window waiting for someone to answer however no one answered the phone as she can hear Rias' voice but she was telling Rossweisse to leave her a message.
"Rias... please get this soon." She said turning to the side "I have Rayne and this is getting difficult by the moment, i need your help right now Rias. Please call me back." She moves her phone away and hangs up and turns around facing the door where she will see Rayne just walking in. "Rayne..."
"Are you... Rias' bishops?" He said it quiet having his eyes almost shut.
"Yes... I am Rossweisse." She looks back and places the phone on a box near her and walks over to him "How are you feeling?"
Rayne sighs "I still can't really see straight, is it because of that Archfiend?"
"Yes but it won't last long, i healed you which cause your regeneration to speed up. You should really go back to bed. You might be able to see straight in the morning."
"I can't..." He turns to the side and walks to the wall, he place his hand out to touch the wall so he can turn back and lean against it. "Everyone is worried about me; i shouldn't stay out of this yet, not until that demon is dead."
"You know they can take care of it on our own."
"I have to fight it." He looks down "This thing... it can't be underestimated or else you're dead." Then turns back to her when he said 'dead'
"You fought this thing before didn't you?"
"Yes."
"So you failed to kill this thing..." She crosses her arms "You shouldn't have really challenged that demon if you were going to lose."
"I didn't really have a choice; i couldn't really fight it on the dam. If i went full force then i will be dealing with the dam collapsing."
"Hmmmnnn... What happen the first time you fought it?"
He looks away "Don't ask..."
"I see... Well you should be careful now Rayne, Rias told me that you usually fight alone out here but you shouldn't be doing this." She walks closer to him "You may be the only hunter who can fight these things, but you shouldn't push them away when bad things are about to happen."
"That is the problem... why i must do this alone." He looks back to her
"Hmmmnn... afraid you would lose someone?"
"I'm afraid i will fail and I will end up losing everyone."
"I know we just met Rayne but judging from the Sekirei's you found they all chosen you for a reason Rayne, don't push them away."
"..." He looks to the side "I'll... Think about it."
"Just take your time Rayne." She walks to the door and opens it but she looks back to him before leaving "Rias told me alot about you, she trusts you and so do i so that you will see it through with all of us behind you." Then finally walks out of the room leaving her phone behind.
While Rayne leans against the wall placing his hands over his eyes scratching them a bit, trying to open them completely where he can see only a bit of blur right now. "How can i... after what happened out there..." He said to himself thinking back of the time when he stood with Rias and the others, fighting Khaos Brigade and dealing with Astaroth himself causing him to fail and almost got them all killed because of him.
One year ago he encountered this Archfiend in a cemetery with a band of hunters that came here to put an end to this demon, been tracking it down for ages and finally they found it as this demon has killed many people and has been causing trouble with the power, it killed hundreds of innocents and right now it has attacked again in this dark cemetery.
Rayne was lying on the ground in the cemetery in the aftermath of the fight against the Archfiend, slowly moving his body but struggles to get up having a deep cut on his back and a few cuts on his arms and face, he slowly looks up seeing only dark and fire that appears in the background burning down the trees and even a fire truck as this Archfiend just killed twelve fire fighters, six police officers and ten hunters in this cemetery. Rayne looks left to right slowly still having his blood spilling on the floor underneath him seeing so many men dead on the ground, some didn't have any marks on them due to them getting hit by a strong electrical blast that flows through their bodies killing them instantly. This Archfiend comes walking over the dead bodies and all Rayne could do is pretend he is dead, knowing he can't face it alone because this Archfiend doesn't have any scratches on it, the bullets didn't do much against this thing and since everyone else is dead this Archfiend took its leave by spreading his wings and flies out of there.
Rayne was stuck in this cemetery for a while until he was saved yet again by Gabriel, he got him out of there when he was unconscious and probably healed his wounds while he was asleep. The next day they ended up seeing the news about the deaths of what happened out there, some believe it was an act of terrorism due to the dead hunters so armed they probably engaged the police and the fire fighters however with all the scratches and marks it's like both sides got attacked by something that they can't describe, they don't have any answers to what happen so they just stick it to terrorism because saying it was from a supernatural being will cause trouble.
Rayne lets a deep sighs then hears Rossweisse's phone vibrating, looking back and walking over to it but looks back seeing Rossweisse is gone so he picks up her phone and notices that Rias is calling. "..." He hesitated at first for a while letting it ring for a while until finally he answered it, placing it on his ear and hears her voice again.
"Rossweisse it's me... Are you there?" She asks while Rayne stands there listening to her voice "Hello?"
Rayne finally responds to her. "Hello love."
Rias was in the shower when she called but when Rayne responds to her she just walked out of the shower having a towel covering her body; she stopped when she heard his voice. "Rayne..."
"Hello Rias..." He looks back having a lower tone on his voice
"Where's... where's Rossweisse?"
"Not here right now, saw the phone with your name on it, i couldn't stop myself."
"You don't sound good... Are you alright?"
Rayne looks back to the window and walks towards it. "Not really..."
"Rayne... Are you..."
"Go ahead and say it, you already know."
She hesitates at first "Are you with someone else..."
Rayne sighs before saying anything "I met some Sekirei's... You probably already know what they are."
"Mhmmnn..."
"Well i can't really lie to you, you already know that i am with the Sekirei's who i kissed and winged."
"Rayne..."
"I might as well tell you this now; i have not abandoned my king. You and Akeno are still precious to me."
"Hmmnn..."
"You don't believe me?"
"I'm sorry Rayne, although we did know you would end up being with others but i didn't expect you will end up with the Sekirei's yet alone you slept with them... You did sleep with them didn't you?'
"... Yes."
"..."
"I didn't really have a choice here Rias..."
"Wish i can believe you."
"I am sorry Rias."
"It is fine Rayne." She leans against the shower door "I expected something like this would happen, can't really stop all the women who will end up falling for you."
"Rias... Can i speak to Akeno?"
"Akeno... Isn't here right now Rayne, she went out a while ago to see her father."
"I thought she hated her father?"
"She does when she went there to see her mother's grave then had a fight with her father but eventually Akeno finally forgiven him, not sure if he knows about you yet so you don't have to go meet her father yet."
"Oh yes... meeting the parents is always the problem..."
Rias slightly laughs "Maybe you should see my parents..."
"Oh yes... meet the father of Astaroth..." He sighs "I'm going to kill him."
"Oh please... kill him for me."
Rayne slightly laughs and looks back then leans against the wall "It's good to hear your voice again Rias."
"Yeah... It's good to hear you too."
"When this is over... I will come back to you guys, this time i won't leave you all."
"I hope so... But what about your Sekirei's?"
"I don't know yet Rias... Could convert them into devils."
"There is no way I'm going to do that Rayne, turn all your Sekirei's into devils, no way!"
"Well then... I guess we will have to figure it out later then. If you lot is coming over here try not to cause trouble against my Sekirei's."
"I will... try to control myself Rayne."
"Good, by the way if you see Akeno tell her i said hi."
"Come on Rayne you have to do better than that."
Rayne sighs "Fine... Tell her that she will see her love again soon."
Rossweisse soon comes in the room seeing him talking. "Hey! Rayne that's my phone." She walks over to him and lends her hand out in front of him.
"Is that Rossweisse?" Rias asks
"Sorry Rias... I guess we have to chat later, got any advice of dealing with the Sekirei's?"
"Well... No one is really stopping you Rayne, we may have slept together but were not completely close, do whatever you want just as long as you don't forget about your real friends."
"I won't Rias i promise you." He lends his phone to Rossweisse then walks past her and leaves the room.
Rias lets a deep sighs and started to blush having a sensational feeling for the moment until Rossweisse talks to Rias while Rayne leaves the room to give them space. When Rayne got out of the room his eyes slowly recovered for the moment for him to see a bit, he wanted to chat to someone else but since everyone is asleep except for a few people Rayne decided to go see Tsukiumi who was still standing on the roof with her arms crossed still having his coat on. She felt Rayne jumping on the roof and walks over to her from behind, she didn't turn her head back or say anything she just watches the quiet view having cold air blowing past her.
"Aren't you cold out here?" Rayne asks walking towards her
"I am fine with cold."
"Well you still have my coat on though." He stands next to her "How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine..."
"Alright then." He spreads his arms to stretch, cracking his body a bit.
Tsukiumi looks back to him thinking he's going to try to get his arm around her but he lowered his arms "I take it you want your coat back?"
"You can keep it for now if you want." He looks at her "It kind of suits you."
She sighs and looks back "So how come your still here?" Rayne asks "Here to kill your Ashikabi?"
She blushes and quickly turns back to him "How do you –"
"I heard you."
"..." She looks out "I... Decided that i will be your Sekirei."
"Well then... you know what you're up against right?"
She looks down at him "Miya told me... most of it that you are a devil, is that true?"
"Yeah."
"So why should i trust a devil like you?"
Rayne gets back up and stands in front of her "Because i just saved your life, like i said before you don't have to be my Sekirei but i will not let you be his Sekirei."
"..." She looks away still blushing "I don't... want to..."
Rayne places his hand over the side of her cheek to move her head back to him. "Tsukiumi... If you become my Sekirei i will not let anyone hurt you. Riser will not get his hands on you; no way i will let some asshole like him win someone like you as a prize."
"But... Do... I really have to have sex with you?"
"..." He stops and let's go of her "What... I... don't..."
"But doesn't a Sekirei have to have sex with their Ashikabi in order to be winged?"
"Uhm... No... I don't have to sleep with you; all i have to do is do this." He moves closer to her wrapping his arms around her waist causing her to take a step back but she stops there, blushing in front of him and lowering her arms. "This is how you get winged."
He finally gives her a kiss causing the two to lock together in this moment outside in the moon light; they close their eyes not being able to see her wing, showing these blue large wings appearing behind her which causes the whole area above the inn to light up brightly like a UFO was outside, they continue to lock together until finally Rayne was force to back off causing her to open her eyes and eventually her wings vanishes and she looks away, placing her hand over the side of her face feeling so hot thanks to him then raise her other arm underneath her breasts.
"Hmn... How was that?"
"..."
"You know... for a woman who is cold you sure do get hot so quickly."
Tsukiumi sighs and turns back taking off his coat and throwing it back to him. "I maybe your Sekirei now, but don't get this over your head." She looks back to him. "Remember i am the only one who can kill you, got that?"
"Yeah... sure whatever." He thinks about it "Yeah right, she won't kill me even if she was my slave."
"It is now official!" She turns back to him crossing her arms and has this serious look once again "I, Sekirei Tsukiumi, gracefully accept you as proposal as marriage."
"..." He tilts his head "What?"
"As your Sekirei..." She walks closer to him "You shall be my husband and i shall be your wife."
"... Wait... what?"
"Thou must not deal with certain matters like this; i shall serve you until you must die." She walks past him about to jump down off the roof "Come now darling, we must go to bed."
Rayne turns back watching her jumping off and returning back inside the house, Rayne rolls his eyes and lets a deep sighs "Great... more weirdness..." He goes after her and heads into bed.
With Miya went to bed and the others also asleep in other rooms especially Rossweisse who fell asleep in the room where she was talking to Rias to for a few hours, Rayne was force to lie in bed with yet another Sekirei, this time there was no funny naughty business between the two. Tsukiumi lies in bed with her light blue nightgown and has her body facing the wall in bed, Rayne is force to lie with her by taking off his shirt and pants and placing them over the chair nearby where his firearms are, he will lie into bed with her but he will face the other way because he doesn't want to deal with her right now.
Tsukiumi does turn back and notices that he still carries the scars of his past battles, not repairing his body he kept them for all these years. She was shock to see him sustain so many damage and can still feel pain from others, slowly she turns her body to face him, placing her hand over his scar then slowly moves down feeling all the marks on his back causing him to turn his head to her then turns around.
"You know... you will be fighting more than just Sekirei's..."
"I am well aware of that; just don't even think about pushing me away from your battles my husband."
"Hmmnnn... Can you please don't call me husband; i don't want the other Sekirei's get the wrong way."
"If you say so..." She looks at his chest "You really have fought so many have you?"
"Yes... I am a devil and a hunter you know."
"Then you better not get yourself killed out there, i rather not become a widow."
"I am not going to die i promise you that."
She slightly smiles "Well then you just got to have to trust me that i thou protect you my husband."
"Alright then." He gives her a kiss suddenly, placing his hand to the side of her face while she doesn't stop him she kisses him back still having her hand over his chest.
