Thanks guys for your support it really means a lot, and it's what really motivates me to do good when I'm writing a new chapter. I don't like going on such long breaks like I did with the last chapter. I feel like I'm letting you guys down by doing that but I'm glad to see you guys are supporting me still. Like you guys and your support are the reason I try so hard to make a good chapter and your the motivation I need to post as soon as I can. So thanks.
Anyway...
On with the show!
There was nothing but pitch black darkness at first. Only I was to be seen. Nothing around me to be seen nor heard. For some reason I had appeared to be heavily wounded, and the life was slowly fading from my eyes. Yet I felt nothing, I appear to have been watching myself. But I was doing nothing but breathing heavily and bleeding on the ground beneath me.
Eventually I heard a deep and evil laughter coming from the darkness. Soon enough I saw two piercing eyes, the exact same color as my blood, emerge from the darkness. For awhile he did nothing but laugh, laugh, and laugh even more.
"STOP LAUGHING DAMMIT!" The other me suddenly said, surprising me. I had so little life left in my eyes, yet I could still speak at such a loud volume and with such a heavy magnitude.
"Forgive me. But I can't help but laugh at your pathetic state. The famous Son of Sparda is nothing but an insect in comparison to my power. I suppose it's to be of a worthless half breed." The voice alone was powerful and frightening. This person's voice would have any normal man shit his pants at the sound of it. "I can't believe I wasted so much time, effort, and resources to kill you because I thought you were a threat. For making me waste my time, I shall make you suffer." The eyes darted to the right and I saw the figures of Rias, Asia and everyone, however there were some other figures I didn't recognize.
Then the eyes that pierced the darkness quickly zoomed to their position. All I saw next was blood everywhere that coated the darkness with red. The blood was notmy own, but the blood of everyone my apparent enemy had cut down at the exact same time.
"Take a good look at them, Son of Sparda! Because thi sight, shall be the last thing you ever see! This is what happens to those who cross me!" The me I was watching said nothing. He, rather I, was simply in horror at the sight before me. I took my time looking at everyone who had just been cut down.
But soon my scared and horrified expression became filled with pure hatred and anger. I was gritting my teeth and I clenched my fists so tightly blood was practically pouring out of them, and the eyes that were so devoid of life before were now full of life and were now as red as my enemy's eyes.
"RRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
I yelled at a magnitude so loud, that even in this empty space, the whole area shook. Then the other me was enveloped in a red light.
My eyes snapped open and I was sweating like a pig. I was also breathing quite heavily. I raised a hand to my wet face in an attempt to make the searing painin my head go away.
'That was... That was far too real to just be a dream. But everything I saw... They haven't happened. And who whose voice was that? The guy guy who's been targeting me?'
Another week had gone by in my life. But with the things that had happened in those seven days, it felt like an eternity. I had been attacked three more times the past week. The first two attacks came back to back on Monday and Tuesday. The third attack didn't come until Saturday, when I thought the attacks were over an I had my guard down. I received injuries that were still recovering from that attack.
'Father, what did I just witness?'
{It appeared to be a vision, one that takes place on the future, the near future it seems.}
'Why am I having visions of the future?'
{It's not entirely abnormal for a person, any person at all, to have visions such as these. It's called precognition, a sort of future sight. Many people have had these sorts of visions, even I have had some. Hell your mother predicted your exact date of birth.}
'Did she really?'
{She did. There have been many famous precognition dreams as well: Abraham Lincoln's assassination, the sinking of the Titanic, etc.}
[I've honestly had a few of these visions myself. But they weren't nearly as important, they usually involved things with food or women.]
'I think you're reffering to wet dreams, Ddraig.' I said in a melancholy tone.
[Watch it, kid.]
{Try not to think about it too much. But also be cautious.} My father warned in a confusing manner.
'Cause that's not a contradiction or anything.' I said rethorically, in a sarcastic and annoyed. 'Can't you take this seriously? I mean your son had a vision of his friends dying, and himself possibly following soon after. Seriously you can at least act a bit concer-' My voice started in the same tone and got higher as I continued speaking.
"Unnn..." A voice next to me moaned. That's when I realized my other arm was constricted. I turned my head and saw Rias sleeping next to me, but I don't remember having any of the girls sleep with me last night. But I also soon realized my arm wast just constricted by her arms, it was also nuzzled in between her breasts! I opened my mouth ready to yell, but I covered my mouth with my free hand. Yet soon enough, her eyes slowly opened. "Oh, you're awake?" Rias asked with a sweet smile.
"Yeah, I-I just woke up too. Um... Sorry about my arm being in it's current position." I apologized.
"I'm sorry. I felt like using you as my hugging pillow while I slept. I came in after you went to sleep." She hugged my arm closer. "You seem a bit sweaty, something wrong?" She asked. I didn't want to worry her if it turned out to be nothing.
"I-It's nothing." I lied.
"Then why are you sweating?"
"I guess I was just hot last night."
"Really? I was actually rather cold last night." Things weren't going so well for me right now, she wasn't buying it. That's when it hit me she was naked.
"AAAAAAAAHHH!" I finally yelled. "That might be because you were sleeping naked again! No wonder you were so cold!" I yelled frantically.
"Of course, you know I can only sleep when I'm naked. Though I suppose you could be right." I feel bad lying to her, but I don't want her worrying about me more than she probably already does. "What should we do? It might be wonderful to stay like this until it's time to wake up. Maybe we can do something a little bit naughty would be a nice way to bond with my adorable servant."
She surprised me with a kiss on my cheek, as if saying I'm adorable wasn't enough. Ever since the fight I had with Raiser, Rias has been getting more and more affectionate, it seems.
"Um, Rias... Don't we have training?" I reminded her.
"You're right... Perhaps we can do some special training." She whispered on my ear. This woman is making my mind go bonkers with all kinds of thoughts. Good thing I'm a devil or I'd probably go to Hell for some of these thoughts.
"Well... If you're okay with it..."
There was a sudden knocking at my door that interrupted us, good thing too. I was on the verge of taking action on my current thoughts. "Michael! It's almost time for morning training!"
'Oh no! Not Asia! She of all people shouldn't see this!' I panicked. Asia called out again.
"Michael? Are you awake?"
"Y-Yeah, Asia, I'm up! Just wait downstairs, I'll be down in a bit!" I was hoping she would listen and I wouldn't have to talk my way put of this awkward situation.
"Asia, wait a little bit. Michael and I need to get ready." Rias called to Asia. Why she had to make things worse, I will never know.
Asia immediately opened the door and saw a naked Rias wrapped around me. She looked about ready to cry at the sight, yet for some reason, Rias thought it'd be smart to hold me tighter and closer. "Good morning, Asia."
I, meanwhile, was on the verge of having a full on breakdown my right eyebrow was twitching nervously and my mouth was wide open. Asia quickly grabbed on to her clothes. "AAAH!" I yelled, knowing what she was doing.
"I'll get naked too! I don't want to be left out!"
"ASIA!?"
"Thanks for the food! Now let's eat!" Everyone at the table spoke. I immediately started stuffing my face, eating like there was no tomorrow. Right now breakfast was the only thing keeping my mind off this morning's experience.
"His appetite is outstanding!" Kuesu said in amazement.
"If you're his childhood friend, shouldn't you know that?" Rias asked, annoyed that she reminded herself that Kuesu is my old friend. She also sounded triumphant that she knew something that Kuesu didn't know.
"I'll have you know, Devil, I hardly ever ate with him when we were children. And even we I did see him eat, his appetite was tiny." Kuesu said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"I gotta say Rias, you sure know how to cook!" I said happily after I swallowed a mouthful of food, before stuffing my face again.
"Thank you, Michael. I've been living in Japan for some time so I decided to learn a bit of cooking." She said happily. I remember her once telling me she wants to be helpful and not be treated differently because of her name "Gremory". I find it admirable because you don't see many high class people like that, next to none really. Rias really is something special.
I glance at Asia. She's another amazing girl. She may be timid and fragile but she wants to help however she can to help her friends. She's even been researching Japanese culture to try an close the gap between her and Rias. She's a hard working girl, she is.
Then I look at Kuesu, my childhood friend. She's been gone so long, far away from me, yet she still adores me like she did when we were kids, which makes me really happy. I know she only gets possessor because she cares about me, and that just makes me even happier.
I'm not entirely sure what to think of Himari. She still a bit of a mystery to me, but I do know she's very kind and very caring. She's been very helpful around the house, taking some of the weight off of me and the other girls. I felt bad sticking her with more housework than the others, but she insists it's fine. But I still help her as much as I can.
Finally there was Raynare. She's been trying her hardest to reconcile for killing me, which seems like forever ago now. She's been just as affectionate as Rias and just as possessive with me as Kuesu. At just about every turn, she does what she can to help me. Even after my first fight with Raiser, when I was unconscious, she herself wrapped and tended to the wounds Asia couldn't heal. For the most part, it's as if her killing me was a bad dream.
"Oh I almost forgot. Michael, would it be alright if the club members come here after school?" Rias asked me. I swallowed what was in my mouth before answering.
"Yeah, sure. But might I ask why?"
"I'm thinking of doing a club activity here. It's about time to clean the old school building." She explained.
"Okay, sure. I see no problem. Though you'll have to start without me cause I gotta head to the store after school. I need to pick up a few things." I requested.
"If that's what you want." After breakfast Asia, Rias, Raynare, and I decided to get ready for school. That's right we finally enrolled Raynare at our school. She would be a third year in the classroom next to Rias and Akeno. And today was her first day.
Once I was all ready, glove and all, I was surprised to see Raynare standing at my bedroom door, wearing her uniform. "Raynare? What's up?"
"What do you think? How do I look in this little school girl uniform?" She asked doing a twirl and speaking in a rather seductive tone, causing me to start thinking again.
"W-Well you... Uh you look..." I stuttered while blushing. She brought a hand to my cheek.
"Just that adorable blushing face of yours is all the answer I need." She then gave me a peck on the cheek.
"Your day isn't complete until you tease me, huh?" I asked rethorically.
"You can't blame me. You look so cute when you're teased. When you blush like that I can barely keep myself contained."
'This girl's deadly.'
{Busty too.}
'Shut up, you damn pervert.' I said, annoyed at my dad.
{I'm serious kid, you couldn't find women like these during my time.}
'You're starting to piss me off, old man!' I warned.
"I'll see you downstairs, handsome." Raynare gave me a wink before leaving. I whistled as I finished and followed her.
Once school was over, and I got everything I needed to get at the store, I went through my pockets to find the key to the house. Just as I was about to pull it out of my pocket...
"WELCOME HOME, MY IDIOT NEPHEW!"
My door was kicked down by a great force and smashed me into the ground. I was too concerned with whose voice that was. I knew exactly who that was. And I was proved right when a man emerged from where my door once stood. A man with well kept gray hair with a scar across his left eye. He wore a yellow tank top, and blue jeans, and his muscles were a little bigger than mine and well defined. This man is my uncle, Sora. My mother's older brother by five years.
{Oh no, not him.}
"HAHAHAHA! You've gotten slow, runt! Remember: always be on guar- ACK!" He was interrupted by my foot meeting his face and kicking him inside, all the way into the living room.
"What the hell do you think you're doing!? You just kicked my fucking door off it's hinges, you old bastard!" I yelled with a tick mark on my forehead. "I got half a mind to beat the hell out of ya with it!"
""Half a mind" that's a laugh!" He countered. Suddenly we were going back and forth attacking each other. I eventually grabbed his shirt and hurled him into the hallway. When I ran towards him, he ran up the stairs. As soon as I reached the stairs my uncle tried kicking me again. I grabbed his leg with my right hand and tossed him back up them, hitting him against the door to my room.
I ran up the stairs and readied my fist to punch him. But he quickly dodged my punch and I ended up punching my door down. I didn't expect it and ended up falling into my room, where I heard multiple screams be heard. Looks like I scared the girls, Kiba as well, when I crashed through the door. I ignored their screams and expressions as I jolted back onto my feet and yelled into the hall.
"AAAHH! Now look what you made me do! That's two doors you broke!"
"Idiot that one was your fault!" Sora argued as he slid to the doorway to my room.
"Yeah but I wouldn't have busted it down of you weren't here!" I yelled pointing at him.
"Well if you were a better fighter than me, which you never will be, you'd only have one door to worry about!" It sounds like he's lecturing me now!
"That's it I'm kicking your ass to the curb!" I threatened.
"HAHAHA! Go ahead and try my delusional child! HOOOOOOOOO!" He yelled as he tried kicking me again. I simply stepped to the side, while opening the window, causing him to fly out the window. I watched him slide into the house across the street's yard, sliding into the garden, and eating some dirt. He landed with his ass up and his face down in the dirt.
"Now that's the position you belong in! Face down with your ass up like a little bitch!" I taunted, yelling out the window.
He jumped back up and yelled back. "There's hope for you yet, kiddo! You may become a man after all!" He called to me.
"You might wanna run! Mr. Yamato is a real stickler about his garden!" As I closed the window I heard my idiot uncle being chased by Mr. Ishida with his trusty rake. I've been in my uncle's position many times, and it brought a smile to my face, knowing he was now in my shoes. "Sorry about that, guys. Things are always like that when he's here." I said as I took a seat.
"Oh my, that's considered normal with you two?" Akeno asked.
"Ever since I moved in with him."
"...He's weird." Koneko said, bluntly.
"You don't know the half of it." I said, dropping my head with a sweatdrop. When I raised my head I noticed everyone was holding weird books. "So when did this become a book club?" I asked.
"These aren't just any books, Michael." Rias said, showing me... Oh please no.
"Where did you guys get those damn photo albums!?" I asked frantically.
"Your uncle brought them when he came over." Kuesu answered.
'So even when I win, I really loose.' I think to myself, my eyebrow twitching in annoyance at that idiot's idiocy.
"Oh I found one of us!" Kuesu turned her album around and I saw a younger me getting drawn on in my sleep by a younger Kuesu.
"I KNEW IT WAS YOU!" I said in revelation.
"Oh my oh my. So you went to the beach naked?" Akeno was enjoying this too much.
"I lost my suit in the ocean!" I explained.
"...Michael's embarrassing past." Koneko said to herself.
"Quit looking!" Koneko was looking at a picture of me in a tiger costume for Halloween, drawn on whiskers and everything. "AAAAAAAHHHH!"
"Small Michael." Rias mumbled. The pictures she was looking at weren't as embarrassing as the others, just pictures of when I was a baby and other normal pictures, but I still didn't want her looking! "Michael when he was a child...Michael when he was a child...Michael when he was a child...Michael when he was a child..." She mumbled over and over again, her cheeks getting redder and her smile getting brighter every time. Is Rias a shotacon?
"I think I know how you feel, President!" Asia said, grabbing Rias's hand, her eyes sparking with happiness.
"So you understand, Asia. That makes me happy."
"This is a nightmare!" I say grabbing my head and messing my hair up.
"Lighten up a bit, will ya?" Kiba said, while laughing, also looking through an album.
"How do you expect me to "lighten up"!?" I ask with a very large tick mark on my head.
"Come on, it's no big deal. Let me enjoy this a bit more." He requests.
"You're not supposed to enjoy it, dumbass!" I yell louder.
Suddenly, Kiba narrowed his eyes and looked really serious. He turned the album towards me and pointed towards a specific picture: a picture of a younger me and a girl with short light brown hair and violet eyes, at first glance she looks like a boy, but I knew this girl very well. That was my best friend as a kid, Irina Shidou. "Do you remember this?" He pointed to a sword in the picture that was mounted on the wall above Irina and I.
"Oh I remember that old sword. I was told that it was just an old sword though. Nothing special about it." I answered,reminiscing about the past.
"Really?" Yuuto looked angry as he looked at the picture. What could be so special about that old sword? "This is a Holy Sword." Kiba revealed.
"A what?" I don't know what it was, but I remember that sword always giving me bad vibes whenever I saw it, probably cause of my devil blood.
"Forget it." Kiba closed the album and handed it to me. "Thanks, Mike." He said with a smile, but I knew that it wasn't an honest one. Something was bothering him, something about that sword.
Later that night, I couldn't sleep so I decided to leave the house for a bit. Luckily I convinced the girls to let me sleep alone onight due to today's event with my uncle. I only had to be sneaky when I was leaving the house, so I wouldn't wake anyone. I don't go anywhere I just stood out in front o my house to get some air. As usual, at night, I was wearing a pair of sweats.
For a brief moment, I closed my eyes. But once I did, the images from that dream I had the other night quickly flashed on my head, causing me to snap my eyes open again. I shook my head and tried forgetting about it, but to no avail.
"I can't get it out of my head. Why?" I mumbled to myself. I looked at my right arm, where the red light originated from in my dream. This arm allows me to summon any weapon I can think of by sacrificing my blood, I can create a replica of myself at the cost of half of my strength an being unable to use whatever Devil Arm ot's equipped with, and it grants me greater strength than in my other arm and I can form a spectral arm to grab an enemy from a distance an attack with even greater strength.
'But that red light...I've never seen it emit from this arm. What does it signify?' I ask myself raising my arm in the air and stare at the back of my hand, covering the quarter moon from my sight.
"What are you really capable of?" I ask as if my arm is a living being.
{You know you won't be getting an answer, other than me, right?}
"I know that, stupid! I just want some insight on why this arm can really do! Actually shouldn't you be able to tell me what I want to know!?" I ask him on an annoyed tone.
{Hey I accidentally made it for you, I've told you all I already know.}
"You gotta know something else."
{Why are we even discussing this? Even if I did know, I couldn't tell you. This is something you need to discover on your own. You can't always rely on Ddraig and I for everything. Some things, you need to learn on your own.}
"Even if learning it means losing everything I hold dear!?"
{Sometimes knowledge comes at a price.}
"Why you old bas-" I was cut off by my rant when Ruas called my name.
"Michael! I turned to face her and she was still naked as she ran outside, causing me to blush and shout in embarrassment. "There's been a report that a stray has been found!" As she spoke I looked around, frantically, to make sure no one could see her. "I'm going to call Akeno and the others, get yourself together, we're leaving immediately." She went back inside to call the others, leaving me flustered and red.
Once I snapped out of my trance I went back inside to gather my weapons. "I seriously don't get women." I muttered to myself.
The stray was reported to have been in an abandoned warehouse. The only weapon I brought was Rebellion, I didn't think I'd need much else. Since I was on a rush to get dressed I didn't bring my jacket.
We rendezvoused with everyone else at the warehouse. Once we got there I could feel the power the stray was giving off within the warehouse.
BGM: B03 (from Bleach)
"There's definitely a stray in there." I said.
"Yes, and a dangerous one as well." Rias added. "Asia, Akeno and I will wait outside. Koneko, Yuuto, and Michael, you three lure it outside."
"Yes, ma'am." Akeno said.
"Yes." Koneko agreed.
"Well what are we waiting for?" I pulled out my sword and placed the blade on my shoulder. The whole time, Kiba seemed as if he was somewhere else, not paying attention.
"Yuuto?" Rias asked.
"Y-Yes ma'am." Kiba responded.
"Let's go you two!" I told Kiba and Koneko before rushing to the door.
"Yes."
"Right."
Kiba and Koneko said, following me to the door.
Once we reached the door, when I tried opening it, it was sealed shut and wouldn't so much as budge. "Damn, it's rusted shut. Maybe I can-" I was cut off by Koneko punching the large doors off their hinges. "Or you can do that. What you did works too."
"Let's go." She entered the warehouse, with Kiba and I following behind her. The entire warehouse was dimly lit which would make it difficult to see for any normal person, and it seemed no one was here. Koneko suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"It's here." She pointed ahead of us, where a cute girl was hiding behind a pipe. When she noticed she's been spotted she let out a roar and transformed into some spider creature with long horns protruding from her head. She jumped onto the ceiling. "Yuuto, if you would." Koneko seemed to waste her breath seeing as how Kiba was once again in his own little world.
"Hey Prince Charming!" I yelled.
"S-Sorry." Kiba responded. A bit too late cause the stray had already attacked. She attacked from a distance with her webbing, intending to hit Koneko. I dashed, using the Trickster style, to Koneko's side and moved her out of the way, but I was slightly damaged by the webbing. It hit my right sleeve and it completely dissolved at the touch of it.
"That was close." I muttered. "What are you waiting for Yuuto!? Hit the damn thing!" I yelled. Kiba unsheathed his sword and struck the stray devil, severing its left arm. Before he could attack again, his foot got caught and he tripped. Meanwhile the stray lunged from above. "Shit!" I dashed again, switching Rebellion out for Agni and Rudra and blocked the stray from taking a bite out of Kiba by prying it's mouth open. "This things got some bite to it! Not like the others!"
The force of the stray's jaws got weaker. I turned my eyes towards Koneko, who had the stray by one of her legs. "Fly." She uttered before hurling the stray into the air, through the warehouse. I ran outside, in hopes of finishing the stray myself. Only once I got out there Akeno had just used her lightning to strike the stray to the ground, burning it to a crisp. That's when Koneko and Kiba arrived as well.
"A disobedient creature, who leaves its master and pursues its own desires." Rias said, approaching the burnt stray. "Such a son deserves severe punishment." She declared readying her Power of Destruction.
"And I'll deliver the ultimate punishment." I said, stopping Rias. I walked passed her saying "That is if you wouldn't mind, Rias." I said.
"If it's what I think it is, go right ahead." I grinned at her approval.
I approached the stray and lifted it's head, forcing it to look me in the eyes, which I had turned red. Now that it saw my red eyes, it was scared of me, which would make this easier "Your soul is mine." My right hand glowed and I crushed its skull. Rebellion began to glow and the stray's soul was extracted from its body and entered Rebellion.
The soul that was extracted from the stray turned Rebellion into a new Devil Arm. Rebellion had now been replaced by a large red and black battleaxe with a large curved blade and a rather long handle.
BGM end
Akeno landed behind me and admired my new weapon. "Oh my, oh my. As brutal as ever. Now what's this one called?" She asked me.
"Arbiter. Big and brutal like yours truly." I answered with a smirk.
"Michael! Are you alright!?" Asia asked. Guess she noticed that I was missing a part of my shirt and got burned a little.
"Nothing you can't fix." I said with a laugh.
SLAP
"How is it? Did that wake you up?" Rias had just slapped Kiba straight in the face. She was pissed. "One misstep, and someone could have died." She scolded. I've never seen Rias so upset, not even when I first started as her servant. Sure she slapped me ince but it wasn't nearly as bad as the one Kiba just got, from the sound of it.
"I'm sorry." He apologized.
"What's wrong with you? I've never seen you like this." I was also curious. Kiba's usually on top of things in a fight, could this have to do with that picture he asked me about?
"This hasn't been my best day." He said flatly. "I'll have to excuse myself for now." He bowed before leaving the area. But I wasn't letting him off that easy.
"Kiba!" I called. I cut him off in his path. "What's up with you, man? You've been spacing in and out of everything, what's bugging you?" I asked.
"It's none of your business." He replied coldly.
"I'm MAKING it my business!" I shouted. "I'm worried!"
"Worried? About who?" He asked, confusing me. "Devils are naturally self-centered."
"Yeah, well you're not self centered. It doesn't suit you." I said.
"Nevertheless, I'm sorry for what I did. I'll see you." He said walking past me.
"Hang on! I'm not done with you!" I said grabbing his shoulder. "If there's something bugging you, tell me. I'm more then just your teammate, Kiba, I'm your friend." I said.
"Friends, huh? You an be very aggressive, and brutal as well, but above all else you're very passionate and caring, Michael." He turned to face me. "I've just remembered something basic."
"Basic?"
"Yeah, that's right. The reason why I'm fighting."
"Why you're fighting?" I ask.
"That's right. I'm living do I can seek revenge. Holy-Sword Excalibur. That is why I'm living." Then Kiba made a face I've never seen him make. A face fill of hatred and spite. It was like I was looking at someone else. He then walked off without another word.
"A Holy-Sword is a devil's worst enemy." Once we got home I decided to ask Rias about Holy-Swords and Kiba for that matter. "It burns a devil simply by touching it and it can obliterate a devil in a single slash. A Holy-Sword can kill a devil."
"Well with the word "Holy" in it I gotta imagine it'll do just that."
{Shut up and listen, this I important.}
"Only a select few can actually use one. That's why the Church attempted to artificially create a being that can use Excalibur, a Holy-Sword. That's the Holy-Sword Project."
"Holy-Sword Project?" I repeated.
"I never heard of anything like that when I was in the Church!" Asia exclaimed.
"That's not surprising. It happened a very long time ago. But from what I was told it was a complete failure."
"That's a little reassuring." I said.
"Yuuto is a survivor of that project." Asia and I were shocked to hear this. Something hit me. I ran out of the room without warning to my workshop in the basement. I came back up with the one of the photo albums my uncle brought. I opened it to the picture Kiba showed me.
"He said the sword in this picture was a Holy-Sword." I said, pointing I the sword. "Once he saw it he started acting weird like he has been."
"It's not as powerful as Excalibur, but this is definitely a Holy-Sword."
"I can't believe there was one so close to you."
"I remember it giving me weird vibes, and on occasion I'd get a massive headache that a full bottle of Aleve couldn't fix." I said.
"Well you'be always had devil blood so a resistance to holy objects is expected even when you were that young."
"Even when I went to church with this kid in the picture, I'd get a massive headache. Ibnever said anything, cause you know how churches are, a guy so much as sneezes and they're considered possessed and become a pariah." I explained.
"Perhaps this is why the previous landlord disappeared. But..." She started mumbling to herself.
"Rias?"
"Oh, sorry. It's getting late. We should go to sleep." Rias stood up and started undressing in front of Asia and I.
"GAAAAH! What the hell are you doing!?"
"What do you mean? You know I can't sleep unless I'm naked, Michael."
"Gah you know that's not what I mean! Why are you taking them off in here!?" I ask. She never stopped taking her clothes off the entire time.
"Isn't it obvious? I'm going to sleep with you tonight." She say that like it's plain obvious!
"Then I'm sleeping here as well! I'm going to sleep with Mike!" Asia began taking her clothes off, following Rias's bad example
[I like where this is going]
{I agree.}
'You both shut up!'
"Whoa whoa whoa! Asia!? Rias!? Come on knock it off!" I pleaded.
"Why are you getting so hot and bothered? I've slept with you a number of times. In fact you slept with all the girls here many times." When she says that it's as if she's saying I've had sex with them!
"... Slept together a number of times...? No... Michael and the other girls...?" There's no way she's just finding out about that, is it!?
"Asia, hand over Michael for tonight." Rias ordered. Asia shook her head.
"I don't want to... I think I have the right to be spoils by Michael. I also want to sleep with him!" I'm flattered she wants to sleep with me that much, but this is getting to be too much for me!
"Then let's make Michael decide." They both looked at me with eyes saying how badly they wanted to sleep with me.
"You'll sleep with me, right, Michael?" They asked in unison.
{Have I told you how proud I am of my son to you, Ddraig?}
[Yes but I never tire of hearing it.]
'SHUT UP YOU TWO! How do I keep getting in these awkward situations!
I could've added the whole thing with Xenovia and Irina at the end, but it took all my motivation an energy to do this chapter as fast as I did an I don't wanna risk going on another unexpected month long break when the chapter is almost done, like I did last time. So I'm sorry if I disappoint you guys by not putting that in, but I find it's better then disappointing you with another long as break when I just got back.
And if any of you are curious I based Sora and Michael's relationship on Isshin and Ichigo's relationship from Bleach, cause that's become my new addiction, cause I've started watching it from scratch again since the anime's officially over :'(
Anyway here's the harem and all that crap...
Harem: Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Asia, Xenovia, Irina, Raynare, Ravel, Kuroka, Rossweisse, Le Fay, Serafall, Kaede, Ophis, Kunou, Himari, Kuesu, Mizore, Kurumu, Uzume, Misubi, Lizlet
Possible candidates: Moka, Orihime(from Bleach)
Not sure how I'd add Prihime without using any more things to do with Bleach, which I'd rather not do cause I already have DMC elements and I'd rather use other series elements that aren't girls in the harem. So unless you guys don't have a problem with that there's a very low chance that Orihime, and maybe some other Bleach characters, will be in the harem. As always leave your input.
