Only own my OC
Review responses
LUCARIO HMV ADVANCED: Nice name and thanks for the other submission in that PM.
Skidamari Hetch: My pleasure to help ya. Yes his Devil Trigger will be like one of the ones from the games, but no he won't sport Dante's signature look. There may be similarities but no.
Dakkaman777: I honestly don't have anything special planned for Raynare, I was just conflicted whether or not I was gonna keep her alive. So I flipped a coin and it decided for me.
NotSoSlimSh4dy: Yes I know I'm horrible I'll save ya the trouble.
jak3615: Wish granted.
Once again I have no excuse for taking so long with this acceptfrat schools's kicking my ass, family and friends keeping me busy, and ivehad some emotional problems lately so I haven't been able or motivated to write.
Okay now let's start this new arc.
On with the show!
"*yawn* Damn Rias, makin me wake up for work." I said to myself as I got up from my bed. "It's a mystery to me as to how Asia was looking forward to school." Turns out Asia couldn't go to school yesterday so Monday was going to be her first day, since today was Sunday
Actually Asia coming to my school was the only thing I was looking forward to, ya know unless I get to kick some Stray Devils ass. I got out of bed and got dressed so I could go get some devil duties done today . Only problem was I couldn't find the glove I use to cover up my right arm. I looked in my closet, my dresser, under my bed, even in my bathroom but I couldn't find it.
{Just go without it.}
"I can't go out in public with my arm the way it is! I need my glove NOW!" I said out loud.
"Looking for something?" A familiar voice asked. I turned and saw Raynare standing at my door.
"I'm sure it's pointless asking you but, have you seen my glove?" I asked ready for her to say "no".
"Yes." Okay I've been wrong before. "I hid it." She confessed.
"WHAT!?" I shouted, grabbing her shoulders. "Do you really expect me to go out with THIS exposed!?" I asked waving my right arm around.
"No, I expect you to do me a small favor so I can tell you where it is." She responded with an devious smile. I knew she was evil but not THIS evil. And people call me a devil.
"Damn you, woman." I said angrily, yet quietly. "*sigh* Fine. What do ya want? Ya want a free nut shot? Stab me with a light spear?" I asked ready for any pain.
"No, nothing like that." At that comment I sighed in relief. No pain. Awesome. "I want you to let me sleep with you in your bed for a week." Uncomfortable sleep. Worse than any pain.
"Come again."
"You heard me. You want your glove? Then I get to sleep with you for a week." She repeated with another devilish smile.
"Why!?" I asked while blushing.
"I've been feeling a little lonely so what better way to fix that than by sleeping with my friend for awhile?" Oh she's good.
"Fine. Just tell me where my glove is so I can go!" I ordered.
"Check the dryer." She said, making me feel like a huge dipshit. I forgot that I had put my glove in the washer to get the blood off from my last battle off, afterwards I put it in the dryer.
"I hate myself." I said dropping my head.
"I'll be waiting for when you get home." She said with an innocent smile.
I had no time to talk so I got my glove, got on my board, and went to school.
"I'm here!" I said as I entered the clubhouse. But I was welcomed by a bra instead of one of the other members. "Well that's a bra. But what's it doing here." I asked. That's when I realized the shower was on. I looked around and saw a familiar outfit hanging on the same line as the bra. It was Asia's nun outfit. "Right. Forgot she's staying here until we can find her a place to stay." I reminded myself.
"Never took ya for a pervert." Koneko said from behind me.
"Hey I was just coming in and I saw all this. I'm by no means a pervert." I told her.
"Oh! Good morning, Michael." Asia said as she came out of the shower.
"Hey, Asia. Um, why was I greeted by your bra?" I asked.
"I'm sorry. I know I'm a visitor here, I just hate being in the way." She apologized.
"Oh don't worry about it. We don't mind you staying here." I assured her.
"Well it won't be for long. The President said she'd find me a place to stay before I went to school." She explained.
"I see. Well I gotta deliver some leaflets, so imma get some packed." I said as I picked up my bag and some leaflets.
"Oh, Michael, you're here. Good." Rias said as she entered the club room.
"Something you need, President?" I asked.
"Yes actually. I think it's time you did some morning training." She stated as she took her seat.
"Well I do sometimes do some exercises before school, but I guess I could do more." I said rubbing the back of my head.
"Your fight with the fallen angels made one thing clear: you need to be worked up to your peak physical condition as soon as we possibly can." She explained. It's been easier to tell that she's just looking out for me since the last fight.
"Ok." I said slowly.
"I'll come pick you up in the morning. 5 sound good?" She asked.
"It doesn't sound good but I have no choice. See ya." I said as I left to hand out the leaflets.
"I'm home!" I called into my house. I got no response from Raynare. I looked around the house but couldn't find her. Once I reached the door to her room I saw a note posted.
Dear Michael,
I was called by Lord Azazel to explain myself, seeing as how I went behind his back stealing Asia's Sacred Gear. Worse possible scenario is he has me do some extra work. I should be back later tonight.
Raynare
P.S. Don't forget you're promise ;).
I sweatdropped at the last part.
{Starting to regret letting her live?} My dad asked sarcastically.
"Actually, no. It's not ALL bad having her here." I said showing that I didn't appreciate his sarcasm.
{How do ya figure?}
"Well for one she doesn't piss me off 24/7, that's your job."
{Careful kid. I'm still your father.} He warned. I wasn't the least bit intimidated.
"Yeah, yeah. Anyway it's also kinda nice having her around. It's not as quiet here anymore." I continued. I absolutely hated it when things were too fucking quiet. That being said I wanna kill myself whenever anyone mentions golf. Even the fucking clapping is silent!
{I see. Well just be cautious. With her sleeping with you for awhile she has the perfect opportunity to kill you in your sleep.}
"I don't think that's anything to be worried about. She hasn't really shown any signs of hostility." I assured him, while I threw the note away. "Well might as well hit the hay." I said while stretching.
{You'll need every second since you're waking up early tomorrow.}
With that I changed into my pajama bottoms and jumped into bed.
*BEEP* *BEEP* *BE-*
*SMASH*
'Go fuck yourself alarm. It's like 5 in the morning. Oh right.'
As I tried to get out of bed I came to realize that I couldn't. There was some kind of extra weight on my body. My previously blurry eyesight started to get clearer and I saw Raynare laying on top of me in just a bra and panties. Least I wasn't dead.
"Damn my idiocy." I said as I glanced at Raynare's sleeping body. She actually looked pretty cute when she was asleep. "Hey! Rise and shine, Sleeping Beauty!" I said, slightly shaking her shoulder. She groaned a bit but she wasn't awake yet. I lightly tapped her cheek, still nothing. I couldn't believe she was such a heavy sleeper. I decided that I was just gonna snake my way out of Raynare's grip.
After about 3 minutes I was free at last. Once I was out my doorbell rang. "*yawn* Mike?" Sure! That wakes her up!
"Hey, I gotta go out for awhile so I'll let you hold down the fort while I'm gone." I told heras I went to see who was at the door.
I was obviously greeted by Rias when I opened the door. "It's rude to keep a girl waiting you know?" She asked sarcastically.
"Sorry. Raynare wouldn't let me out of bed." I said.
"Wait. Was Raynare sleeping with you in your bed?" Rias asked.
"Yeah, I promised her that she could sleep with me for a week cause she helped me find my glove." I explained.
"W-What!?" Rias asked in, I believe, jealousy.
"Something wrong, Rias?" I said, slightly teasing her.
"N-Nothing." She then regained her composure "Anyway I'm here so you can start training. You're starting off with a 10 mile run." She said.
"Only 10? Sounds like my warmup. Let me just change into my running stuff." I said.
After about a minute I met Rias outside in my black and red running shorts and no shirt.
"No shirt?" She asked while her cheeks got a little red.
"I never run with a shirt unless it's cold." I told her as I stretch my legs. "Well lets go!" I said excitedly. I ran ahead while Rias followed on her bike. Since I usually run a lot I was WAY ahead of her.
Once we reached the park we moved on with the training. She was gonna have me do some pushups but she wanted me to stretch first. "As I'm sure you know already, the world of devils is about strength more than brains. That being said you'll have to get strong in both mind and body." She said as she helped me stretch, pressing her breasts on my back. If I wasn't so busy working out I'd probably have something to think about.
"I'm well aware. Now come on let's get some pushups done." I said spinning my right arm around.
"Since your right arm is naturally stronger, you can only use your left arm." She said normally, like it was easy. I may have already been pretty tough but even I can't do many one armed push ups.
"Fine." I said as I got into push up position with only my left arm. Not long after I got on the ground, Rias sat down on my back. "What the hell!?" I said, trying to support my body with my one arm.
"Giving you more of a workout." She said as I slowly started doing push ups. "Remember: the stronger you get, the more powerful you become. The more powerful you are, the more you can accomplish." Rias stated as I continued.
"Right!" I grunted. Once again if I wasn't training I'd be thinking about how Rias's butt is on my back. Not long after I reached ten push ups Rias patted my ass and I ate sand cause she surprised me. "Why!?" I said after I spit some sand out of my mouth.
"Don't think I don't know you're having disgusting sexually charged thoughts about me right now!" She scolded.
"Are you kidding!? I don't waste my time thinking about stuff like that when I'm working out! Especially in this workout! If anyone is having sexual thoughts it's you!" I retorted.
"W-What!?"
"You haven't taken your eyes off my upper body since I got out of my house!"
"You're crazy." She denied looking away. Though I could still see that her face was just as red as her hair.
"Oh please, you've been watching every bead of sweat roll down my face and torso since we started." I said. Rias got off of me in a huff and I stood back up and got the rest of the sand off my body. "Looks like I won that argument." I said silently.
"Hey you guys! I'm here!" Guess Asia was invited to this party. "So sorry that I'm late. I swear I won't let it happen again. Ahh!" She tripped but I rushed over to catch her.
"You okay?" I asked with a chuckle.
"Y-Yes. Thank you, Mike."Asia said with a blush on her cheeks.
"Come on. Let's take a seat." I suggested as I led her to the bench. Asia then pulledpulled a thermos and a cup out of her basket.
"Here you go."
"Oh thanks. I was just getting thirsty." I said as she handed the cup to me. She poured me a drink. Sadly it was coffee. "Oh, sorry I can't drink coffe." I told her.
"Huh? Why not?" Asia asked.
"Well coffee dehydrates people. And as an athlete I need to stay hydrated, that's why I usually drink sports drinks." I explained. (Let that be a lesson to you athletes. You drink coffee before you work out, you're fucked!)
"Oh sorry. I didn't know." Asia apologized sadly.
"Don't apologize. It's fine." I said patting her head, causing her to smile again. "So why are you here?" I asked.
"Oh, Rias asked me if I could come."
"That so. Why do that, Rias?" I asked. For some reason Rias seemed to not hear me. She was in her own world. "Uh, Rias?" That got her attention.
"Sorry?"
"You okay? You spaced out for a second there." I asked.
"Now that everybody's here, we should probably go." She said, avoiding my question.
"Where exactly?" I asked.
"Hm, we're going to your house, of course." She answered.
'I don't like this.'
{I do.}
'Did I ask you!?'
When we got back to my place there were a shit ton of boxes in front of my house. "What's with these boxes?" I asked. I didn't recall buying anything online or anything like that. And I'm pretty sure Raynare didn't get anything.
"Yeah, that's all my stuff." Asia said.
"These are yours?"
"Apparently I had more than I thought I did."
"Okay, well what's it doing here?" I asked.
"Well, as of today, Asia's going to be moving in with you." Rias answered.
...
"I'm sorry I think I went deaf for a second. Did I hear you say that Asia was moving into my place?" I asked.
"That's right."
"It's very sweet of you to let me." Asia remarked.
"When I asked her where she'd like to live, the first thing she said was your house." Rias continued filling me in.
I wrapped my arm around Rias shoulders and pulled her close, facing away from Asia. "Are you nuts!?" I whispered loudly. "In case you forgot, the chick who just tried to kill her a few days ago is living here too!"
"Well you'll just have to make things work, won't you?" Rias asked.
"Damn you." I growled.
After helping Asia get her stuff into her room, her room being the room to the right of mine cause I don't like the idea of Asia and Raynare being neighbors room wise. Speaking of Raynare, I wasn't looking forward to explaining why she has to live with the girl she tried to kill not even last week. Luckily she'd be gone for-
"I'm back!"
Fuck you too, God.
"R-Raynare! Hey! What's up?" I stuttered in fear. While I like a little noise in my life, I believe in there being TOO MUCH noise.
"Um... Are you okay?" She asked, a little suspicious at my speech pattern
"Yeah, yeah! I'm fine! Totally fine! Never better!"
{And the Emmy goes too...}
"You're acting weirder than usual. Are you sure nothing's wrong?" She asked.
"Michael?"
'REALLY GOD!?'
As Asia entered the living room I was ready for shit to go to... well shit. Asia took one look at Raynare, and Raynare at Asia and they just stared at each other.
"Raynare."
"Asia."
They said each others names after awhile, Asia a little more timid and Raynare a bit stoic.
'Here it comes.' I whined in my head as I just observed the scene in front of me.
"What are you doing here?" Raynare asked Asia.
"I-I live here now... with Michael." Asia said.
"Well so do I. So as long as you're here..." Raynare walked towards Asia and while I was scared SHITLESS of what was about to happen, I readied my Sacred Gears in case thing got too hairy. "Let's be friends."
*CRASH*
That was the sound of me knocking some shit over as I fell on my face, anime style, at the sound of what I just heard. Raynare wanted to be friends with Asia!? NO ONE has a change of heart THAT quick do they!? And if they did would they REALLY try and make nice with the person they tried to kill?
"Huh?" Asia asked, puzzled at Raynare's friendly gesture.
"I now know that what I did was wrong, so I'd like to say I'm sorry. And I'd also like to try and be friends with you." Raynare explained. No fucking way I've already been THAT much of an influence on Raynare that she'd apologize to the person she killed less than a week ago! Nevertheless I was pretty proud that she decided to apologize without me having to tell her.
"Um... T-Thank you." Asia stuttered in disbelief.
{You okay, kiddo?} My dad asked as I stood back up.
'Broke some shit, but I'm fine.'
"Well then..." I said, dusting myself off, gaining the girl's attention. They both turned to me before I continued "Like Asia said, Raynare, Asia will be staying with us for as long as she's in Japan. I expect both of you to behave yourselves and get along." I said sternly.
"Yes." They said in unison.
"Good. Now then, I'd say it's time to eat. I'll get dinner started and we'll properly welcome Asia." I said with a smile.
"You can cook, Michael?" Asia asked, surprised.
"Of course. Gotta learn to feed yourself when you live alone." I answered cheerfully and putting a hand in my chest.
"He's the total package: smart, strong, can cook, and cute above all else." Raynare complimented in a sexy tone, causing me to blush. I guess Raynare has started to develop an ACTUAL crush on me. I guess it would be because I spared her and offered her a place to stay as well as show her actual compassion. Not really sure if I should be honored or scared half to death that Raynare kinda has a thing for me.
"W-Well smart and strong are I bit debatable." I said nervously. I noticed that Asia looked a bit upset at what she was seeing and hearing, so I decided to stop there and get dinner ready.
Later that night
After dinner I showed Asia to her room, which was the OTHER room next to mine, and helped her get her stuff in. After I put her and Raynare to bed, I began washing the dishes.
I started thinking about how, after living alone for the past three years, I'm now sharing my house with two people. Two cute girls at that.
{Never would've expected this when I held you when you were born.}
"Tell me about it."
{It actually saddens me that I never got to see you grow up.} Yet another rare moment where my dad shows his softer side.
"Forget it. Remember I've still got a lot more growing up to do, especially considering I'm still getting a grip on my powers." I reassured him while I lifted my right arm above my face. "Especially this one. What else can I do with this arm?" I asked.
{I'll only tell you what you need to know, when you need to know it. Otherwise you're on you're own.} ANNND the moment's over.
"Damn." Suddenly my phone started vibrating on my nightstand. The caller ID read "Kiba". "Whaddya want Kiba?" I asked. I was tired and I did not need work preventing from sleeping.
"Rias says there is a stray at the cemetery. She wants you and Asia to meet us there right away." Kiba explained.
"*sigh* Okay, we'll be right there." I hung up my phone and started getting redressed. I grabbed Ebony and Ivory, as well as Rebellion, and went to get Asia. I knocked on her door and thankfully she was still up.
"Michael?"
"There's a stray devil at the cemetery. Kiba told us to meet him and the others there to take it out." I filled her in.
"O-Okay. I'll get dressed. Is Raynare coming?" Asia asked slightly shocked at what I old her.
"No, we'll let her sleep tonight."
"Look, they're here." Akeno said as Asia and I pulled up on my longboard.
"So what are we dealin with?" I asked Rias, readying my Boosted Gear.
"A stray has been attacking the people coming by here at night, swallowing them whole." She answered. There had actually been reports of missing people lately so I assumed that the stray had something to do with this. "Yuuto, you and Koneko will be on the front lines. Asia, you and Akeno will stay back until I say otherwise."
"And me?" I asked.
"Michael, I want you to wait for an opening on the stray and take it out in one strike. I want to see just how many times you can boost your power." Guess that what makes her leader, her brilliant strategies. There was just one flaw I saw: she's putting everything on me and my Boosted Gear. I may not be able to take it out in one attack. Before I could point this out the stray devil appeared behind a tombstone.
BGM: Danger Line by Avenged Sevenfold
"Well I suppose I should be honored. I get to consume the heiress to the Gremory clam as well as her peerage." The devil remarked. The stray was a male that had long white hair, and black jeans and combat boots, leaving his muscular upper body exposed.
"Sorry asshole, no late night snacking." I taunted.
"Such a foul mouth. Hopefully the rest of you isn't as foul." The stray said as he transformed. His teeth became fangs and his tongue became snake-like. His hair turned pitch black and his size at least doubled. His skin became a sickly green color and his five fingers on each hand became three.
"Sorry but you're not gonna find out." Kiba said unseating his sword. Meanwhile I started boosting my power.
[Boost!]
The stray swung his claws at the Knight, who disappeared before the attack connected. Kiba reappeared behind him and cut the stray's back. The stray turned around to see that Kiba was gone, and in his place stood Koneko.
"Isn't this cute? The small one wants to fight me." Good thing we were in a cemetery cause he just dug his own grave. And Koneko may be the one to put him in it.
"Go to hell." Koneko said before kicking the stray's kneecap, dislocating it.
[Boost!]
"AHHHH! YOU LITTLE BITCH!" The stray cursed as he swung his claws at Koneko. Suddenly a flash of lightning hit the stray's arm directly. Good job Akeno.
"I don't think that's very wise of you." She said with her usual sweet smile.
[Boost!]
"Are you almost ready?" Rias asked.
"Think you could get one of his arms off, just to be sure?" I requested.
"Of course." Rias happily obliged. A red aura surrounded her and a magic circle appeared in front of her. Then she unleashed the famed Power of Destruction the Gremory clan was known for. The attack completely obliterated the stray's left arm.
"ARGH! I'LL KILL YOU!" The stray manage to jump into the air with his good leg and went to attack Rias with his good arm.
[Boost!]
'That's it!'
Asia covered her eyes and waited for the stray to kill Rias, but it never happened. That's because I caught the stray's attack with my left hand. My eyes became a familiar red color, showing that my devil blood took over, and I took out Rebellion with my other hand and cut off his other arm. The stray stumbled back, or rather hopped back. In order to keep him from escaping I shot his other leg with Ebony.
"Please spare me!" The stray begged. My expressionless face became rather sadistic as I answered.
"Sucks to be you." I hissed. I threw the stray into the air with my right hand. "One more, just because."
[Boost!]
I lept into the air and changed Rebellion into Gilgamesh. I charged my left fist and connected it with the stray's stomach. I guess I overdid things with those extra boosts because I went right through the stray's gut.
The stray and I fell to the ground. I walked up to the stray's barely living body and said directly to him "I'm going to take your soul now." I shot him in the face and a white ball of light went into Rebellion, transforming it into some kind of demonic briefcase.
BGM end
Rias and the others walked up to me. "A bit much don't you think?" Rias asked.
"Well I enjoyed it. Akeno?" I asked the Queen of the group, waiting to hear her sadistic input.
"It's screams of agony were quite pleasurable." She answered with a satisfied blush.
"What happened to your sword?" Asia asked me that's when I realized I didn't really explain to her what Devil Arms are.
"I'm able to take a devil's soul, which'll be absorbed by Rebellion, and I can use it as a weapon, called Devil Arms." I explained.
"That's so cool!" Asia praised.
"By the way, why don't you do that to all devils?" Rias asked.
"I can only do it with certain devils, in terms of taking the souls by force. It's easier if the devil offered me it's soul so I could use it as a weapon."
"Seems legit." Koneko said.
"Anyway... Asia, that is usually how things go when there's a stray devil." Rias told the former nun.
"Oh I see. She was only here to observe, right?" I asked Rias. She nodded. "Well since that crap's done, we're heading home. Night guys." With that Asia an I got on my longboard and headed home.
Asia was holding on to me tightly, almost lovingly, as we went home. I just thought more about what I did to that stray. I almost lost control again, and just barely held onto myself. I needed to do something about that. I decided that when I'm not training my body, I'll train my mind whenever I can.
"Michael?"
I looked at Asia, who snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Are you okay?" She asked. "You've been really quiet for awhile now."
"Sorry, Asia. I just got lost in my thoughts." I said.
{LOOK OUT!}
BGM: M38 from Deadman Wonderland
Before either one of us could say anything, something big fell from the sky and caused us to fall off my board. I fell on my ass and saw that Asia wasn't near me. I looked to see the thing that fell from the sky looked exactly like the stray we just killed. The only difference was that his skin was red. I lookhisar his right hand and saw that he had grabbed Asia.
"Hey! Let her go!" I ordered readying my Sacred Gears.
"Not a chance! You killed my brother. And once you see me kill this girl, you'll die too!" He said as he tightened his grip on Asia, causing her to scream in pain. Now I was pissed.
I pulled out Rebellion and it transformed into my newest Devil Arm, Pandora.
I layed it on the ground and it opened on it's side and a gattling gun appeared. I pulled the trigger on the handle and shot the devil's arm until I came off, releasing Asia. I quickly grabbed Asia with my spectral hand.
"Thank you, Michael." She said.
"This bastards gonna pay!" I said. My eyes flashed red again but I kept as cool as I could.
I picked up my Pandora and it turned into some kind of demonic bow. I pulled back on the bow's string and demonic energy surrounded my hand. The devil lunged towards me and I released the string, which released the demonic energy and blew a hole in the devil shoulder.
It then turned into a giant throwing star. I threw it and it cut the devil in half. I caught Pandora again and it changed again.
Now it turned into some kind of missle launcher that surrounded my body. I pressed both buttons and multiple rockets shot out from the surrounding weapon. All of the rockets targeted the devil and exploded on contact.
There was nothing left but his head. Pandora became Gilgamesh and I placed my foot on it's head. The jets in it kept in increasing until I completely smashed it's skull in. I didn't want him as a Devil Arm when I already had his brother. I already had to put up with the demonic dipshits, Agni and Rudra. I didn't want another pair of brothers in my arsenal. Agni and Rudra were good weapons but they never shut up when I use them.
"Good riddance." I pulled out my phone and called Rias quick. "Rias. Asia and I were just attacked by the brother of that stray we just killed." I informed her.
BGM end
"Are you both okay?"
"Rias I'm hurt. You should know by now that I can easily kill devils as weak as them." I answered sarcastically. "Anyway, the dumb bastard is dead, I need ya to send someone to clean up the mess, because he is literally everywhere and I'm not nearly patient enough to do it myself." Probably should of mentioned that his exploded limbs and guts were on the roofs of houses, tangled in telephone pole wires. And his blood was all over the place.
"The mess'll be gone before morning. Good night, Michael."
"You too." I hung up and went to check on Asia. "Are you alright Asia?"
"I am thanks to you. Thank you very much, Michael." She thanked me again.
"Don't mention it. I swore I wouldn't let anything happen to you and I meant it." I said with a smile as I placed my hand on her head and ruffled her hair a bit. To which she responded with a sweet smile. I noticed that when the stray's brother landed it broke my board in two. "Guess we're walkin." I sighed. I threw the board pieces in a nearby trash can and walked the rest of the way home with Asia.
We got back to my house and Asia had started to doze off on the way back. On the way back I instructed her to fall asleep while I carried her home. She hesitated at first but quickly fell asleep. As we walked into my house she was still sound asleep in my arms and snuggled into my chest.
I carried Asia to her room and set her down on her bed. I brushed some hair out of her face and went to throw my bloody clothes into the washer and used the kitchen sink to wash the blood off my body.
Before I entered my room I recalled the promise I made to Raynare. Ya know the one about her sleeping with me for a week. I entered my room and e was still sound asleep.
I did to Raynare what I did to Asia earlier and brushed some loose strands of hair out of her face, only Raynare woke up.
"Where were you?" She asked as she rubbed her eyes.
"Sorry. A stray appeared and we had to take care of it. I would've been back sooner but Asia and I were ambushed." I explained.
"Are you okay?" She asked with half open eyes.
"I'm fine. I'm sorry I worried you."
"You can make it up to me now. Just get in here." She moved over and I did as she told and laid down next to her. She pulled the covers over us and layed her head on my chest. I was surprised at first but went along with it, so I wrapped my arm around her and fell asleep along with Raynare.
{My son. Hmph. He's not a child anymore.} I barely heard my dad say.
Not my best work but it should keep you satisfied in known the I'm still doin this and not dead. I'll be updating one or two more chapters next week cause I'll be on Thanksgiving break, thank God, so look forward to that.
