I'm a little late updating I know but...
I fixed my computer! We are back in business! Thankfully, Legacy Boot worked and my computer runs fine now.
Holy crap we're at 2,373 views! After seeing that, I had to finish this chapter.
Fun fact!: Dakarai was actually supposed to have a daughter in the first draft of this story and include a more complete profile of him. If you guys want a potential rewrite of this story where this actually happens (along with a few other ideas I had/may have soon) I put up a poll. If you have any questions, you can ask in the reviews where I will answer them in the next chapter. The poll is on my profile.

Warning! This chapter has language. Why? Freed and his dirty mouth. I guess slight gore is in here as well.
Oh yeah, harem list will be at the end of the chapter.

More exorcists surrounded Spike. Just before they attacked him, the hourglass necklace on Spike's necklace started glowing.
"Drain!" Spike shouted.
Suddenly, yellow circles appeared at the exorcist's feet. The yellow circles closed around their ankles, restricting them. Their skin became wrinkled, their hair started falling out and turning white. Spike's whole body was covered by yellow energy. He had a confident smirk on his face.
"Thanks for the energy. Don't worry, this process won't last long. You'll turn into dust shortly." Spike snapped his fingers an the exorcists that were restricted by his technique turned into piles of dust. The yellow energy surrounding him slowly faded away. He looked over to Dakarai, who was furiously slashing through a group of Fallen Angels. Blood was flying everywhere. Dakarai did all of this with that wolfish grin of his still plastered on his face, not caring abut the blood that was on his face. This could pass as the perfect picture of a bloodthirsty psychopath.
"Damn, and I thought I was bad." Spike chuckled after saying this. Spike took a look around him and saw the dead bodies of many Fallen Angels and a few unfortunate exorcists. A few of the bodies had limbs missing from them.
'I didn't even see him do all of this. His speed must increase when he goes into his yokai form.' Spike thought. The remaining exorcists surrounded Spike, only to be swiftly cut down by Dakarai. He suddenly appeared next to Spike, making him jump a bit.
"Jeez, tell me if you're going to pop up next to me with no warning." Spike said.
"If I didn't do that, you would be swiss cheese right now." Dakarai replied, the grin on his face gone. He casually wiped the blood on his face off with his shirt.
"Hey, I can defend myself, thank you. If anyone was turned into swiss cheese, it was these Fallen Angels and exorcists. All of which were shredded up by you." Spike looked at Dakarai, who had an indifferent look on his face.
"Hmph. Let's keep going. I slashed the secret door open by accident. It was under the podium." Dakarai started walking towards the door, with Spike following him.
"How the hell do you destroy a door on accident? Were you that focused on killing these guys?" Spike asked in disbelief.
"Aww man, did I miss the party already?" A unknown voice said.
"Who the hell was that?" Spike asked.
"How the hell should I know?" Dakarai said back.
The duo turned around to see a teenage boy with silver hair and red eyes. He was dressed in clerical clothing that a priest usually wears.
"Well, isn't it my lucky day today? Looks like I get to play with two shitty devils!" The priest exclaimed.
"Who are you?" Dakarai asked. His hands once again became covered in dark energy.
"Why I am the great exorcist Freed Sellzen. It'll be my pleasure to kill you two tonight." Freed said, a psychopathic grin appearing on his face.
Dakarai prepared to charge at Freed, but Spike held his arm out in front of him. Two yellow magic circles appeared in front of his hands. Two golden wakizashi with red crossguards and black grips came out of the magic circles. The two swords lodged themselves into the ground.
"I'll take care of this midget. You go on ahead and save Asia." Dakarai nodded his head. He ran to the underground entrance and jumped down.
"Oh, no you don't!" Freed pulled out his Holy Gun, trying to shoot Dakarai while he had the chance. Before he could even fire, the gun was sliced in half. Spike suddenly appeared a few feet behind him, the two swords he summoned earlier were in his hands.
"Sorry, but you're opponent will be me." Spike turned around. He swung the sword in his left hand around a few times, getting a feel for it. He got into a stance.
"Let's dance, shall we?"
Kai and Issei were running towards the church. To Issei's surprise, the talking wolf was quite fast. He had a little bit of trouble keeping up with him. If he wasn't a Devil, he would've lost Kai a long time ago. Finally, they arrived at the front door. They were greeted by a horrific scene. Bodies almost sliced in half and were missing limbs. Massive amounts of blood were on the walls and floor of the church. Statues and benches were destroyed.
"Who...who could of did all of this?" Issei said in shock, his eyes widening at the scene before him. He was almost ready to throw up. Kai, on the other hand, looked slightly surprised. He started walking and put his nose to the ground. He sniffed for a while until he perked his ears. He picked up on Dakarai's scent.
"C'mon, he went this wa-"
*CLANG*
Issei summoned his Sacred Gear. Kai looked to his left to see Spike and an exorcist engaged in a sword fight. Spike pushed the exorcist back with his sword and delivered a swift kick to his stomach, sending him into a wall. Spike looked to his right and saw Issei and Dakarai's familiar.
"Dakarai went through that hole in the ground behind me. Hurry! There isn't a whole lot of time left to save that nun!" Spike said. Issei and Kai nodded their heads and ran to the underground entrance. Kai jumped down the hole quickly, but Issei didn't. He started to hesitate. He looked over to Spike.
"You need any help handling that guy? If we can both take this guy down, we ca-"
"No offense, but your current level of power is too weak. This exorcist can kill you without too much difficulty. Just go and help out Dakarai." Spike told Issei. Issei nodded his head and jumped down the hole. Spike heard shuffling, and quickly sidestepped. He didn't come out unscathed. Freed made a small gash on the left side of his torso with his Light Sword. He coughed up blood.
"Hahaha! You should know that light is deadly to devils! Now it's time to die!" Freed charged at Spike.
*SLICE*
Spike suddenly appeared behind Freed, Freed was frozen in place, mouth hanging open in shock. Blood gushed out of Freed's waist. The upper half of his body slowing falling off the lower part of his body. He had been bisected. He finally fell to the ground, his body in 2 pieces. Spike walked up to him, holding one of his swords over Freed's head.
"H...how...*cough*did..you..eve-" Freed started, choking on his own blood. He started chuckling. Spike rose an eyebrow.
"You'll never get to that nun in time. I would love to have seen the look on her face when I wo-"
*PIERCE*
Spike drove his sword into Freed's head, finishing off the vulgar exorcist.
"Die, you scum. May you receive the worst torture in Hell." Spike went to sit on one of the benches that somehow weren't miraculously destroyed in the skirmish. He decided to rest up a bit before going to help out Issei and Dakarai. He looked at the left side of his shirt. It was torn and bloodied.
"Dammit, this was one of my favorite shirts."
Dakarai stood in front of a door. He assumed the ritual was taking place behind the doors. He started to power up, but black, flame like markings started to spread across the left side of his body. He fell to his knees.
[You're starting to reach your limit. You can't keep using that mark's power like that. I can only hold it off for so long.] Kiris spoke to her host in his head.
'How? I didn't even use that much energy.'
[That's what you think. I'm using my power to suppress most of the dark energy from that mark. Earlier when you killed those Fallen Angels, you used more dark energy than you think you did. I can prevent the power from consuming your mind, but I can't get rid of the physical drawbacks from using that power.] Kiris explained.
'Alright. I'm only going to use it one more time. Can my body handle that? I only sense 4 Fallen Angels behind that door.' Dakarai focused his power to make the marks on his body recede. After a short while, they did.
[You can. But after that, you will rest up. Your body needs to recover before I can make adjustments to your body so it can handle more power from that mark of yours.] Kiris said to her host a bit sternly.
'I understand.' Suddenly, Dakarai coughed up a small amount of blood.
[Well, I'm sure they heard that. Was this part of the plan?]
'No, but I can work it to my advantage.' Dakarai smirked to himself.
"What was that?" A young girl with blonde hair that was styled into twintails asked. She was wearing a black Gothic Lolita dress with white frills and a large black bow on the front, a green jewel embedded in the collar. She also wore white thigh-high socks and black shoes.
"I'll go see. You just focus on finishing the ritual." A fairly tall middle-aged man said. He wore a grey tenchcoat over a white dress shirt with a matching ascot, black pants and shoes, and a stylish black fedora. He summoned a blue light spear.
He walked to the door, light spear in hand. His hand was on the door knob.
*BOOM*
The door was broken into splinters and a cloud of dust formed. The sheer force from the door breaking sent Dohnaseek flying back a few feet.
"Dohnaseek!" A tall woman with long, navy blue hair and brown eyes shouted. She wore a violet trenchcoat-like top with a matching miniskirt and black heeled shoes. The top was open at her chest, giving an ample view of her cleavage. She also were a gold necklace. She ran over to Dohnaseek. His face was scrunched up in pain. She looked to the female Fallen Angel performing the ritual.
"Raynare! Hurry up!"
"I'm trying, Kalawarner!" Raynare shouted back. She was pulling out Asia's Sacred Gear, causing her to scream in the process.
"Ray-Raynare-san, p-please st-stop it." Asia cried weakly. Raynare ignored her.
The short blonde haired Fallen Angel charged for the door, a pink light spear in her hand.
"Mittelt, stop!" Kalawarner shouted at her comrade. The warning came too late. A fist made its way to Mittelt's gut, knocking the wind out of her. The fist withdrew from her gut and a boot replaced it, sending her flying into a wall. A small needle of lightning pierced her juggular, killing her. The dust settled to reveal Dakarai. He slowly walked forward towards Raynare with a menacing expression.
"I cannot allow you to harm her. Surrender now, and I'll consider letting you live." He said coldly.
He walked slowly towards Raynare, but he was slowly leaking out killing intent. He grinned, scaring Kalawarner and Raynare. Suddenly, Dohnaseek pushed Kalawarner, making her fall. He summoned another light spear and charged at Dakarai. Red lightning consumed Dakarai's right hand, making a sound like birds chirping. He straightened his hand. Before Dohnaseek could impale him, Dakarai grabbed Dohnaseek's arm, twisted it, and sent his hand through his chest, ending the Fallen Angel. Dakarai withdrew his hand from Dohnaseek's chest and kicked him across the floor. Kalwarner was sitting on the floor frozen in shock.
Asia let out a final scream. Two silver rings floated above Raynare's hand. She pushed the rings into her body. The rings disappeared.
"Ha! You failed, Devil bastard. Now that I have the Twilight Healing, you can't kill me!" Raynare said proudly, only to be kicked into a wall by Dakarai. He quickly cut off Asia's restraints with his lightning. He made the lightning on his right hand disappear. He laid her down, not caring about her state of undress. He started to gently tap Asia's face.
"Come on, Asia stay with me. You can do it. I just need you to stay up a little longer." Dakarai bit his left thumb. Blood started to leak out.
"Here you go, Asia. Drink some of my blood, you'll be fine afterwards."
Asia started to speak.
"I'm...glad I met you and...Issei-san..." The young nun said weakly.
"I...just w-wish...I could have spent more...time with y-you and...I-Issei-san."
"Asia, save your strength. Just drink my blood." It was too late. She closed her eyes.
Dakarai sat still, as if he was in a trance. He had failed to protect Asia.
"Kill her..." A feminine voice said in Dakarai's head.
[Partner! Don't listen to that voice! You are in control of your own mind! Don't let the mark's power consume you!] Kiris shouted to her host in his head.
'Just regulate the power flow. That's all I'm asking you to do.' Dakarai said in a monotone voice. Kiris sighed.
The black flame like marking appeared on Dakarai's body again. This time, they covered his whole body. He closed his eyes and stood up. He opened his eyes again. His sclera became back and his irises became a golden yellow. His eyes darted toward Raynare, who was getting up after being kicked by him. She looked up and became paralyzed with fear.
"I told you to surrender. You didn't listen." Dakarai said, his voice dripping with venom.
"Asia!" A voice screamed.
Dakarai moved his head to see Issei, running towards Asia. He had tears in eyes.
"She's dead, Issei. I was too late. But I will avenge her death." He took slow steps towards Raynare, who was backing up, only to be met by a wall.
"Stay back, demon!" Raynare said, panicking and hyperventilating.
"She asked you to stop. You didn't and chose to ignore her pleas. You shall receive no mercy from me." Dakarai said coldly.
"Dakarai, stop it!" A male voice shouted.
Dakarai's tail twitched, showing his annoyance. He was itching to kill the other two Fallen Angels. He turned around to see Spike, being supported by Koneko. Rias and her peerage had arrived as well. He scrunched up his face.
"You made a promise to your little sister didn't you!? You promised her that you would never use this form again! Are you going to break that promise just to kill these two Fallen Angels?" Spike spoke to his brother. He knew he still had time to reach Dakarai, before the power took over completely.
"You remember what happened that day, don't you? We were sparring." Spike started.
Flashback
Dakarai had kicked Spike into a tree, causing him to cough up blood. Black flame like markings covered the left side of Dakarai's body. He sclera suddenly became black and his irises became a golden yellow color.
"Weak! You're too weak!"
Spike looked at him with a worried expression. He knew for a fact this wasn't Dakarai. His energy signature was different. It felt...darker, colder even.
"Brother!" Amara shouted, running towards her older brother. She hugged him from behind, surprising him. He looked down to her.
"This isn't you! You're never like this!" Tears started to run down her face.
"Come back...please..." Amara started sobbing.
The marks receded, returning to their circular patter on his neck. Dakarai turned around and hugged his sister back and stroked her hair, in an attempt to soothe her.
"I'm sorry sis. I didn't mean to turn into that." Dakarai said. Amara's sobbing stopped, but she was still crying. She hugged him even tighter.
"I want you to promise me to never turn into that thing again. I don't want to ever see you like that again. It scares me when you do that. It makes me think you'll leave like-" Dakarai silenced her by hugging her even tighter.
"I promise I won't do it again. Now please, stop crying. You know I hate to see you cry." He broke the hug and held Amara's face with is hand. He wiped the tears off her face. He smiled at her, and she smiled back.
Dakarai was now standing still, his face no longed scrunched up in annoyance. Instead, a sad expression was on his face.
"You knew you scared her that day. So you promised her that you would never do it again. You didn't want to cause her any pain because you love her too much to do that. Now just calm down and we can work this out." Spike spoke to his friend.
The marks slowly receded and Dakarai's eyes went back to normal. He took a deep breath and exhaled. A black gauntlet with a large purple gem appeared on his right arm. He walked up to Raynare, who was still frozen in fear. He held out his hand in front of her chest.
"Phantom Grab" Dakarai spoke. He moved his hand into Raynare's chest, or more accurately, phased through it. He pulled out his hand, which was now balled up. He walked away from Raynare, who was shocked at what just happened. Dakarai knelt down to Asia's body, which was now being help by Issei. Dakarai opened his hand, revealing two silver rings. He put one ring on her left hand, and the other on her right hand. The rings disappeared.
"Buchou, c-can we bring her back? Is there any way we can bring her back? She didn't deserve this." Issei said sadly. Rias put her hand on Issei's shoulder. Issei looked up to her and saw a smile on her face. Rias reached into her breast pocket and pulled out an Evil Piece. It was a Bishop.
"There is, Issei. I can reincarnate her as a devil. Would that be fine, Dakarai?" Rias asked him.
[At least she had the decency to ask you first.] Kiris spoke to her host.
"Just bring her back." Dakarai asked.
"Very well." Rias said. She placed the Bishop piece onto Asia's chest and began the ritual. She finished the ritual. Issei shook Asia gently. After a short while, Asia stirred and opened her eyes.
"I-Issei-san?" Asia said. Issei hugged her tightly.
"I'm glad you're back Asia." Issei said, a tear making its way down his face. He broke the hug and wiped the tear from his face.
"Hey, where's Dakarai? He was the last person I saw before I..." Asia stopped, thinking back to what happened to her.
"I'll explain it later to you Asia. Dakarai's behind you." Issei said, pointing behind her. She turned her head to see Dakarai with his head turned the other way, holding his tank top out to her.
"You should wear this Asia." Dakarai said. Asia seemed confused before looking down and noticing her state of undress. She quickly grabbed the tank top and put it on.
"T-thank you Dakarai! But won't you get cold without your shirt on? She asked with a small blush still on her face from embarrassment. Dakarai turned his head and faced her, a smile on his face.
"Don't worry about me. I'll be fine." He looked down, not wanting to face her.
"I'm sorry I didn't make it in time. I failed as a friend, haven't I?" He asked her, a sad smile on his face. She held his hand, surprising him. He looked up at her.
"You didn't. I'm here now, aren't I?" She stated, a kind smile on her face. She looked over to the
"You're right." He looked over to Raynare, who was now attempting to stand up. Kalawarner was next to her, trying to help her up. Before he could charge at them, he felt a slight tug.
"Dakarai, I know you're still angry at Raynare-san and her friend, but I believe she deserves a second chance. The Lord gave all of us a second chance, didn't he?" She said.
Dakarai thought on her words. Her words were similar to what his mother and Gabriel taught him and his sister when they were younger. He sighed.
"I'll try, Asia. For your sake." Dakarai opened his hand and sent out 4 small lighting bolts towards Kalawarner and Raynare's ankles. The bolts hit their target, restraining the two. The gauntlet on his arm glowed. He swiped his hand down and opened a portal that was purple in color. He walked to Raynare and Kalawarner, grabbed them, and walked back to the portal. Before he stepped through the portal, he turned his head towards Rias.
"Rias, I'll leave everything else to you. I understand you may be a bit offended that I did this without consulting you first. We can talk about it later. I'm going to speak to Azazel about this little...incident." Dakarai stepped through the portal he created, taking Raynare and Kalawarner with him. The portal closed.
Rias sighed. She looked back and saw Asia healing Spike's wound.
'If only I could convince him to help me. The power I felt radiating from him was much stronger than Riser's.' Rias slowly widened her eyes in shock as she remembered something he said. Dakarai said he saw her brother before because he knew Anubis. A new idea formed in her head.
'Maybe I can get out of this engagement after all!' Rias thought.
DxD - Living Darkness
Azazel was currently in his apartment, sitting on his couch drinking a small glass of whiskey. Suddenly, a purple portal appeared across from him. Kalawarner and Raynare were thrown out of the portal and landed on the floor. Azazel quirked one of his eyebrows. Why were two of his subordinates just tossed out of a portal? He would get his answer as Dakarai stepped out of the portal. Azazel looked surprised. This is the son of Death's Right Hand Man.
'The boy looks just like his father.' Azazel thought to himself.
"Hello, Azazel. We have a little bit of business to discuss." Dakarai said, looking towards Azazel.
And I'm stopping it here. I would continue but I haven't got any sleep.
Hmm, I wonder what Azazel knows about Dakarai's father? And how do the two know each other?
First glimpse of this dark power Dakarai has.
I decided to leave Kalawarner and Raynare alive. Not too many fics with them in it.
Okay, here's the harem list I have so far.
Issei: Rias, Akeno, Asia, Irina, Rossweisse, Xenovia, Koneko, and Ravel. Raynare may possibly be in Issei's harem.
Dakarai: Kalawarner(possibly), a vampire(again, possibly), and 2 members of Riser's peerage(Hint:One of them has black hair).You guys can PM me or write in the reviews who you think these 3 mystery women are.
You canalso tell me which girls you want in Issei's harem. I think I forgot a few lol.
Spike: No one so far, cause my best friend has not contributed to the story yet.
To my best friend. If you are reading this, which you are, hurry up and send me Spike's harem before I decide to kill him off! Less I have to write about. XD
Read and review!
