Could not get what I wanted written, so decided to do another interlude.
Bit of a warning I'm absolutely horrible with any Japanese terms and I still get confused sometimes with the first name second name thing. So I'll try my best here, but no promises it will be good.
COMMENTS!
IAmJustAndIdiot: Yea totally just an shingeki no kyojin reference, defiantly not something bad!
Ritsuka: WHAT DO YOU MEAN A BLESSING FROM "THE GOD"!?
Tachie: Different world lines! Don't question it!
Ritsuka: I'M GOING TO BLOODY QUESTION IT!
Da Vinic: *Finally found that popcorn and is just watching the madness".
Keybladelight: Trihexa/666 is planned to appear, as for it being the final boss… you'll have to wait and see.
ORT Huh? I've seen all the new stuff and am honestly super interested in including ORT in anything, but I've decided to wait for now as more news may be revealed with how recent the ORT stuff was.
As for a DxD character able to beat ORT… I honestly don't think any could, it holds an 'alien logic' so concepts like Infinity, Dream, and the heavenly dragons Divide/Boost are all ineffective.
Kolt999: White Titan? No idea what you're on about *Whistles innocently*. Rhongomyniad is hard to remember its spelling.
SolSparda369: Tachie is probably going to be asking for the replacements by the time she realizes how crazy her "family" is. Someone is absolutely going to ask Tachie for a fight.
Idiot444: Oh fandom wise yea Odin's perversion is treated as ether a gag or a type of stress relief, but I very much doubt canon Odin is anywhere close to being the wise god everyone makes him be.
Issei's harem was never an issue for me, but how it was made and just how large it got was annoying. The Dragon Aura thing always felt fucked up to me, because when you get down to it, it's essentially a form of brainwashing/mind control. I'm thinking of ether completely removing it here or changing it up a lot.
JtBlack-Hawk3198: True, but when you send a group to deal with bloody gods, you at least include a god level entity. I plan to introduce a lot of stuff from other factions, they may not all have super big roles, but I do want them to have some focus.
DxD Magic was always disappointing, many factions should come with their own system yet everyone used the number magic method? Boring as hell. Characters like Rossweise will be using some actual stuff from her faction.
One thing I hope to show off is just how different each faction is and how they've been influenced by the modern era.
Tachie has many Aunts who are eager to teach her everything about the Norse, which includes their magic.
In this fic, some things will be changed to make the story role better. But I also plan to throw some curveballs to make things more interesting.
Yuuto Kiba was nervous, his mentor wanted to introduce him to his other student, something Kiba had been shocked to learn he even had. The young swordsman was waiting in a rather large room, swords decorating the wall ranging from katanas, broadswords, bastard swords and even some designs he didn't know.
The floor mostly just plain wood, but in the middle there was a large cyan circle painted on. He remembered many times he had spared in that circle with his mentor, although to this day he had yet to get any meaningful hits.
Eventually however Kiba heard footsteps, causing him to rise from his seat on the ground and turn to greet… to greet…
Beautiful, that was the only word he could think of to describe her. She was around his age, with lovely pale skin and light grey eyes. Her hair was short and had a distinct ahoge poking out of it. She had a small smile on her face that seemed to light up the room.
Kiba had seen many beautiful woman, his king and the rest of the peerage among them, but there was something about this girl that stood out to him. But he quickly shook himself out of it and realized some other things.
The girl carried a katana by her side, and from how she stood she knew how to use it. Her hair colour also resembled…
"Ah Kiba-Kun, I hope this morning has treated you well". The man who entered the room behind the girl spoke, and it was obvious the two had some type of familial relationship with how similar they looked.
"G-greetings mentor, who is thi-". Kiba was cut off before he could finish by his mentor.
"My daughter, Sakura. I figured it was time for you two to meet". His mentor, Souji Okita replied. The girl, Sakura smiled at him.
"A pleasure to meet you Kiba-San". She bowed lightly and Kiba hastily responded with his own clumsy bow.
Okita smirked, he had brought Sakura here for Kiba to have a sparring partner more his equal, but Kiba's reaction had been unexpected. Did his student have a crush on his daughter? He didn't think so, probably just embarrassed meeting an admittedly pretty girl who wasn't a close friend or apart of his peerage (Satan knows he's had more than enough marriage proposals for his daughters hand in marriage).
It'd also do Sakura some good, she had no friends she talked to often and the only one she regularly talked to was a pen pal from Japan. Her incredible skills and having a reincarnated Devil for a father had driven off most. The second they learned her mother was human had driven away the rest.
But for now? He had something else to do.
"Please prepare your swords, you cannot leave the circle and the fight is to first blood. No Sacred Gears or any ability beyond simple sword techniques". Okita told his students, who both went into position for the spar.
Kiba took a few calming breaths, something his mentor had taught him to deal with pre-fight jitters. It was only him and his opponent, even if said opponent was a really pretty girl. He took a glance at her, but her face had turned completely blank, not a single hint of anything leaking out, it was similar to her father when he got serious.
Kiba formed a training sword in his hand, durability as great as he could make it. If Sakura was his mentor's daughter, then she was without a doubt a monster herself. He slid into his stance, raising his sword for when the spar started.
"BEGIN".
Two blurs shot towards each other, but Kiba quickly discovered while he was fast, Sakura was faster. Slash, swipe, thrust, she'd dodge everything or reflect it. While his attacks were easily dodged, Kiba barley dodged Sakura's own.
Kiba attempted a hasty slash towards Sakura's thigh, but she leapt backward with immense speed and then rushed back with a quick thrust. Kiba brought his blade up in defence, taking the worst of it but still having the breath knocked out of him.
By the time he managed to get his senses back, Kiba felt cold steel on his neck. He was forced to say the words he hated most.
"I yield".
Somewhere else.
Gareth sipped her tea with a happy sigh, she had never really tried the drink before but her new friend had gotten her addicted. Speaking of her new friend.
"GAAAREEEETTH! IT ARRIVED!". The happy voice of Marie Antoinette, her new friend and technically boss. She was a spark of joy that caused anyone who met her to smile.
Gareth had met Marie while she was trying to survive on the streets, the white haired girl had found her half-starved and passing out, bringing the knight in training to her mansion. She had let Gareth eat her food and even shared some of her clothing that was Gareth's size.
Marie had also managed to get the entire situation out of Gareth, she just found it so easy to talk to the noble girl. But Gareth hadn't expected Marie to offer her a job as a guard, which she graciously accepted, the only thing they were waiting on was the sword Marie had asked a small time magician organization to create.
And wasn't that a surprise? Gareth's new friend was a magician and rich enough she could casually ask magician organizations to do things for her. That kind of money was mind bobbling for the blond who while her family was wealthy, had never really got to experience it.
Gareth got up from her seat and went to the door, were Marie was talking with a strange looking induvial, but if Gareth had to guess they were a magician. There outfit was certainly odd enough for it.
"Greetings Lady Gareth, this one is known as Arti". The mage greeted her, her voice was pleasant enough but Gareth couldn't shake a feeling of suspicion, not a suspicion of evil but that this person was hiding something... and also a sense of familiarity?
"Nice to meet you". Gareth offered a handshake, but her gaze quickly went to the large wrapped parcel in Arti's hands, was that…
"It is my honour to present this to you". Arti handed the parcel to Gareth, who immediately started ripping it open to gaze at the blade within.
It was a large blade, something more fitting for a giant then the small girl that was Gareth, yet she lifted it with ease. It was red and silver with a black grip and seemed to radiate with a faint heat.
"This blade originally came to our organization broken, but with the funds gifted to us by Lady Marie, we managed to repair it. It's said to by wielded by the Red Knight of Arthurian times, but whether that is true or not I cannot say". Arti explained, both Marie and Gareth were shocked the sword had such a history.
"I see! I was just expecting a training blade but you guys went above and beyond! Thank you for helping Gareth be closer to achieving her dreams!". Marie said in her usual fashion, causing a red flush on Gareth's face and a chuckle from Arti.
"There's no need to thank me, seeing such a sword in noble hands is a gift enough. But now I must return to the organization". Arti replied, refusing Marie's offer to stay for tea and leaving the mansion.
Gareth smiled brightly while looking at her new sword, something about it felt right in her hands, unlike all the swords she had trained with before. With both a new friend and a new blade, she was one step closer to becoming a knight.
A distances away from the Antoinette Mansion.
Arti smiled to herself at a job well done, her body shifting and her cloak transforming into armor. Eventually the sight of the mage was replaced by a different figure, the King of the Wild Hunt.
"To think Gareth would meet another like her, the noble queen Marie Antoinette… Truly your luck is most bizarre Sir Gareth". The king seemed to disappear into the shadows. Their duty here done.
Somewhere else.
Jessica couldn't shake the feeling she was being stalked, even in her own home she felt eyes on her. As an Exorcist she felt she shouldn't be shook so easily, but she just couldn't shake the feeling of being watched.
She had talked with some friends over it and they had suggested going to the police, but what if she was dealing with a supernatural? She could deal with any normal stalker, but a supernatural one was far more dangerous.
She sighed, this was doing horrible things to her sleep schedule and she now had bags under her eyes, but nothing a little makeup wouldn't fit. Staring into the mirror as she applied it, she only had a few moments to notice a shadow in the corner before everything went black.
For those wondering if there will be Kiba X Sakura (Fate!Okita), probably no but I may change my mind in the future. I just thought it'd be adorable for a young Kiba to be completely embarrassed around a girl as he's not really ever shown like that.
As for that little murder at the end, as a wise man once said.
"Fear the murder loli".
Next chapter will be longer I promise.
