Chapter 2

Stars twinkle in the night sky, and two young children lay on the grass, a blonde haired boy and a silver haired girl, their chests heaving, sweat glistening their brows.

They looked as if they had been through a difficult time together, but managed to win their difficult fight against a group of enemies.

"Its a nice night, now that people aren't trying to harvest our souls."

The girls lips curl ever so slightly. "Yeah, don't need that."

The boy turns to her in amusement. "Yeah, but it was a good fight. Did you see that guy...what was his name...that guy with the sword."

The girl turns to him, breathing slowly. "Yeah, his damn sword, he got a surprise when he thought we were 'two helpless children'."

"Yeah, he got the shock of his life huh~"

The girl inclines her neck. "Speaking of a good fight, I've been thinking about it, and one day, we'll have to fight. The ultimate battle between us."

The boy nods. "One day, I'm sure we will. On that day..."

"I will have to kick your ass." The girl said with a clear voice, and though she wasn't one for joking around, her face did look slightly amused.

The boy laughed. "Ooh, we'll see~ Maybe we could make a bet huh~?"

The girl leans closer with a strong half smirk. "A challenge with a bet huh?"

The boy shrugged with a dazzling smile. "Yeah, you could say that~"

The girl pulls even closer, a breath away from the other.

The boy smiles softly, his hand and hers inches away from the other's.

Staring into one another's eyes, the lights from the moon, and stars illuminate their bodies.

The atmosphere, despite saying they were going to fight one day, was calm, relaxing...

Almost tranquil between them, an unspoken bond of trust between them, as their fingers curl around the other's...


On the night Kazuto found out he was a Devil which also validated the dreams that he had been having for a good long while now, Rias had insisted that she come back to his place to heal him even though he had explained he wasn't injured.

So now, Rias, naked, and Yumi, wearing a lacy pink bra on, and matching panties, two very beautiful girls, both snuggling against him while his white Dragon plush laid next to Yumi, it was quite the dream.

"What a wild night. Fallen Angels, Devils, seems like something out of a TV show." Kazuto tried to run his hand through his blonde locks, but he soon found that his arms were preoccupied by two beauties. " And being in bed with Gremory-senpai and Yumi-chan at the same time…"

He looked to Rias, who earnestly wriggled in her sleep.

Yumi on his right hand side was doing the same thing, snuggling against his naked chest.

He could only imagine the look on his grandmothers face when she saw this scene play out before her eyes.

"Mmmmm~" When Yumi began to wake up, Kazuto's eyes run towards her, noticing the small curling of her lips as she woke up.

But that was soon replaced with a little redness on her face.

"K-Kazuto-kun…" Yumi looked naturally shy.

Her eyes fluttered like a maiden, she also noticed that her breasts had sandwiched Kazuto's arm, even going through her bra.

"Hey, morning." Kazuto replied, he wasn't as shy as Yumi was, though he did think Yumi did look quite adorable right now.

"About last night…Kazuto-kun, that Fallen Angel, what he tried to do to you…" Yumi felt a wave of guilt overcome her.

Kazuto's hand went to the side of Yumi's flushing cheek, showing a compassionate smile on his face.

"Please don't worry about it, Yumi-chan. It was the Fallen Angel that attacked, not you, and he didn't harm me."

Yumi felt her face beginning to tinge red a little more, her fingers strumming through her long blonde hair.

"Yeah…but wow Kazuto-kun, you managed to kill the Fallen Angel, I couldn't believe when you told us about it."

"Strange, isn't it? Magic powers and all that~ I also heard this voice in my head, calling me partner…I don't know exactly what that was about, but it felt…familiar, like an old friend or something. I don't know how to describe it exactly."

Yumi tilted her head, and because she was laying right next to him, Kazuto felt his heart thudding further in his chest.

"You really had no idea you were a Devil?"

"It feels…so familiar to me, that word Devil, yet its strange. … Grams would have to know…I'll have to talk with her."

"Want us to be there?" Rias chimed in, waking up and rubbed her eyes. "Conversations like this, could be difficult. And I have to admit, I'm also curious about what's going on with you, and your situation. Though I also understand if you want to do this solo."

"That's really kind of you, but yeah like you said, I think this is a grandmother, grandson thing, and I know Grams, she'll want us to speak privately. Sorry about that Senpai."

Rias waved a hand. "No, please don't apologize. As long as we get to the bottom of what's happening here for your sake. The Fallen Angels…they shouldn't have gone for you, and for that, I can only offer my sincerest apologies."

He could tell she was being quite honest with her words right now.

He sensed no falsehoods coming from Rias, knowing she truly meant what she was saying.

"Thanks…but, if Grams knows, why didn't she tell me? I thought…well, I thought she'd never keep any secrets like this from me… but now, I have this whole other side to me."

Rias could understand why that would be confusing, and Yumi offered an empathetic face. "When I first became a Devil, it was confusing too Kazuto-kun. I'm sure whatever answers your grandmother has for you, she'd have your best interests at heart."

"Yeah…she's always looking out for me, so if she's hid it, I'm sure she was thinking about me. Still gotta find out what's going on with this situation." Kazuto yawned.

But then he blushed a little as Rias stood up, and he could see her large breasts jiggling before his very eyes, the round softness of her chest, the visible nipple area.

Her soft stomach, and her long luscious legs, the shape of her butt and dazzling body over all that looked like she had been sculpted.

Though she had covered her most private areas, he still couldn't help but notice her beautiful form.

She giggled upon noticing his slightly red face and grabs her clothing, bending forward, her breasts lightly running along the bedspread.

"I have to say, sleeping next to you felt rather nice, thank you Kazuto-kun~" Rias adopts a happy expression, and pats his slightly flushed cheek.

Yumi's lips purse ever so slightly, her body unconsciously coming closer to the young man's own. Kazuto blushed a little more when feeling Yumi's assets pressing up against him. Even through her bra, he could feel the softness of her chest.

"Buchou…"

Rias glanced at Yumi, seeing a cute look in her eyes. "I'm sorry Yumi. Don't worry, Kazuto-kun and I are merely…I'd say we're going to be becoming friends. I know you and he have had a good relationship for a while now."

Kazuto looked to Yumi.

He saw that her face was bright red, and she buried her head against his chest before he could ask to confirm what he thought Rias meant by that.

Though since she looked embarrassed, he dropped the subject for now, and watched Rias slide on all of her clothes.


When Kazuto got dressed, he went downstairs as he called for his grandmother.

"Grams! You here?" Kazuto searched the kitchen, and the living room, and nothing.

But then Yumi noticed on the side of the door, there was a note. "Kazuto-kun, it seems your grandmothers gone out early, it said she'd be back later."

Kazuto looked, and chuckled awkwardly. "She does her little club today. Right, forgot about that. Guess we kinda slept in later than I thought. Aah well, I'll ask her later about all this Devil stuff. Gotta prepare anyway."

Rias nods her head. "So, I guess we'll take our leave."

"Unless you want breakfast? I can whip us up something quick." Kazuto proposed.

Rias looked intrigued as did Yumi.

"You sure its alright?" Yumi questioned.

Kazuto begins getting out the necessary stuff for the food. "Sure, its alright. Shouldn't take me long."

"Then we'll take you up on that, thank you." Rias showed an elegant smile on her face, while Kazuto got to work making breakfast.

He had so many questions, but right now, he decided to just try and focus on the main questions he had for Rias, and her group, since it seemed they knew a good deal more than he might know, but something about this, felt weird.

Like it was deja vu.

He couldn't explain it that well.

He just kept going back to the dreams he kept having...


Meanwhile, within the broken down Church in Kuoh, Raynare was sat within the main room, on a pew at that, contemplating what she was going to do. Dohnaseek had not returned, and if he antagonized the Devils, she made sure she was ready to defend herself.

Freed soon came walking into the room.

"What the hell happened? I thought I told you to watch over Dohnaseek."

Freed growls. "Why did you send me after him?! If I had known it was him...tch, you want me dead like Dohnaseek or something?"

Her face dropped immediately, she looked a little sick.

Just then, Kalawarner and Mittelt came into the room.

The former could see Raynare looking surprised, so she went over while Mittelt looked on with a worried face.

"Raynare, what's happened? Did Dohnaseek do the unthinkable, and reveal himself?"

"He's dead. Tell them Freed." Raynare demands.

Freed snarls with a grin. "Super dead, the Devil boy killed him."

"What Devil boy?" Mittelt asks.

"She's talking about the boy, Kazuto. He's a Devil...Vali's...no, I thought he was..." Raynare clicked her tongue in growing frustration. "Shit...!"

Kalawarner was beyond astonished, while Mittelt raised her hand, gaining the others attention.

"What are we gonna do Raynare? We still have Asia to think about, don't we?"

Raynare sighed even deeper. "Shit, we have to deal with her, its too late to turn her back, she's supposed to arrive any day, and now that they've defeated Dohnaseek, the Devils are going to be watching us like hawks, there's no way that we're going to be able to quietly leave the town."

Kalawarner felt the worry build up in her, she kept thinking of many plans that could be used to help her and the others.

Mittelt held a hand to her mouth, looking ready to fall over and curl up.

"Tch, since you got me into this mess with that monster, I'll be taking Twilight Healing for myself." Freed growled.

"That belongs to me!" Raynare snapped, with Freed smirking. "We have to do something radical. We have to contact the Devils."

"Ooh crap..." Mittelt looked uncertain.

Kalawarner folds her arms. "What are you thinking?"

"We have to be the ones to approach first, or we could be caught in trouble. If they respect the unspoken glares between our factions, and if they don't want to start another war, then we can leave them alone, and they can leave us alone as well...shit, to think he's the one we were sent after, ooh crap..." Raynare breathed hard. "I'm not going to go through all of this, and leaving that healing power alone!"

Mittelt adopts a sinister smile. "So, we play nice, and then we kill the nun."

"Exactly, sorry Asia but you've got to be sacrificed." Raynare sighs. "Lets get to contacting the Devils, and make it seem Dohnaseek did something against our wishes...okay, its time to contact Kokabiel-sama..."

Kalawarner narrows her brows. "Are you sure? Kokabiel-sama, would he even vouch for us? He's...not the nicest one."

"...Its the best chance we have. Kokabiel, I don't like him either, but if Azazel-sama finds out we went after him...the Devils will have to respect him, since he's one of the leaders underneath Azazel-sama, the Gremory's wont question him, I hope." Raynare looked uncertain right then and there.

Kalawarner thought that was the best way to go about it now.

If they didn't, then they felt like their deaths would be assured.


During lunch, Kazuto was still wondering what was going to happen with Rias, and the others, still processing the idea his dreams, were truly memories.

However, as he ate, Akeno Himejima came practically skipping into the classroom. She was elegant as well as beautiful, that's what Kazuto thought.

She walked towards Kazuto's desk, he saw the jealous eyes of the males going for him, but he brushed it off.

"Hello, Kazuto-kun." Akeno looks him over, running her eyes from head to toe. "Buchou asked me to come and see what is happening with your grandmother? If you're going there, or if you can make it later to the Occult Research club?"

Those words only increased the jealousy of the male students, who yelled things like "Damn handsome die!" and "How the hell did he attract them?!" among other things, but Kazuto didn't care, and kept his attention on Akeno.

"I'll be there. I've talked to Grams, and I'll talk with her tonight."

"Wonderful~ Then please come after school, I'm sure that Yumi-chan will also come and meet you." Akeno giggled sweetly, as she gazed upon Kazuto. "So, you're the boy that Rias took a close interest in huh?" Kazuto blinked as Akeno bent down, meeting his gaze, and got rather close, continuing to show her smile. "Certainly, you are a handsome boy. Ufufu, I wonder what else about you made Rias feel attracted, huh Kazuto-kun? Usually, she doesn't really think about boys, maybe you've become the exception~"

At her rather seductive tone along with Akeno leaning in super close to the point that he could feel her warm breath pushing against his skin.

Kazuto lightly blushed, Akeno giggled before she stood up, and began walking away.

When she did, Kiryuu was astonished. "Well, I didn't think that romance like this would be happening this soon. But, it makes sense anyway, looks like the Onee-sama's of the school are after our very own Bishounen boy~ This is going to be great for the polls to see who you'd be with~ Not so great for me personally though as I'd be losing..."

Kazuto blinks. "Wait, what poll are you talking about?"

Kiryuu for a moment looked a like a deer caught in headlights.

But that soon vanished as the young woman flashed her cheesy grin.

"The poll of who you'd end up with. The girls love seeing who the Prince shall be with. I had my hopes on Yumi-chan. She seemed to be like the girl you'd go out with, considering you spend the most time together. If you want to do me a solid, and date Yumi-chan, then I'd be grateful!"

Kiryuu declared it boldly, and gave Kazuto a thumbs up.

"Thanks for the support, but I couldn't possibly say who I'll end up with~" Kazuto teased, giving off a playful wink.

Kiryuu huffed, turning away, while Kazuto looks on amusingly.


When the time for the end of the school day came, Kazuto stood up, and brushed himself down, when Yumi came into the classroom.

Like with Akeno beforehand, guys were giving off evil eyes towards Kazuto. Though he didn't mind. He also saw that some girls were giving off eyes like that to Yumi, it seemed to be the girls that liked Kazuto.

"Each time we meet up, we're always getting those dirty looks huh Yumi-chan~?"

Yumi giggles lightly. "Yes. Really, they do get a bit wild, don't they? Rumours at this school spread so fast."

"You can say that again." Kazuto laughed, inching closer to the blonde beauty. "I'm grateful to go with someone that I know."

Yumi gave a cute smile. "I thought it would be best, considering everything that was going on. It can be a bit daunting."

Kazuto agreed with what she said, he did want to go with a familiar face at least. "I'm ready when you are."

"Great, then lets go!"

Kazuto nods, grabs his stuff, and heads out together with Yumi.

Though as he did, he saw Kiryuu giving a big thumbs up towards him, so he rolled his eyes.

Going out of the classroom, then out of the building, neither really said anything to the other. Though it wasn't uncomfortable in the slightest, they simply weren't sure how to approach the subjects they wish to speak about.

That was until nearing the Old School Building, Kazuto finally spoke up.

"So, Yumi-chan. How did you...become a Devil anyway? You mentioned it this morning about becoming one, rather than being born one. I mean, is there some kind of special ritual for that or something?" Kazuto saw that Yumi gained a slight pained look, so he apologized to her. "Sorry, is it difficult to talk about?"

"I don't mind sharing the details with you, if you want to know."

"If you feel uncomfortable about it, I don't want to drag up any unnecessary pain. If you wanna forget my question for now, then I'd be okay with that."

"It was a difficult time in my life, but I'll tell you sometime about it soon, I promise."

Kazuto gave a refreshing smile, as the pair continued on.

Nearing the building, he saw something moving from one of the windows coming in from the right hand side.

His eyes darted to the location, but he saw nothing there. Only curtains flapping in the wind.

Yumi glanced at the direction that Kazuto looked at, and thought " Huh, maybe Gasper is also curious." but didn't voice any thoughts for the time being, and they went inside.

Within the darkened hallways, Kazuto inspected around and saw that there were strange markings upon the walls. He wondered if they were Devil symbols, as Yumi said "This way Kazuto-kun." so the young man followed her up some stairs.

Arriving at the next floor, Kazuto and Yumi went down a corridor, and came to a door, that had 'Occult Research Club.' written on the left hand side.

Yumi knocked, calling "Buchou, I've brought Kazuto-kun." and soon entered together with the young man.


Going inside, Kazuto looked around, and the occult aspect of the club was evident to see. With circles that had different characters inscribed into the walls, a giant one on the floor, and one in the corner. He saw two couches facing one another in the middle of the room, one which was occupied by Koneko, who was eating some candy.

Finally, he saw a desk at the end of the room, with a shower curtain close by, he also heard the sound of running water, he presumed someone, most likely Rias, was already inside.

However, he also saw something else stood within the room...and that was a camel toy that looked rather realistic stood on top of what Kazuto presumed to be Rias's desk.

"...Senpai."

Kazuto looked to Koneko, seeing her eating her sweets. "Nice to see you, Toujou-chan."

"...Call me Koneko."

The young girl said with a stoic expression on her face, so he smiled, and nods his head.

"Koneko-chan. Likewise, call me Kazuto~"

"Kazuto-senpai. Sorry, Senpai."

Kazuto lifted a brow. "What for?"

"The attack."

Kazuto chuckled. "Don't worry about that, everything worked out alright, didn't it?"

"...Even then, Senpai your life has changed...how do you feel about that?"

"Right now, can't really say." Kazuto walked over, his hand gently patting Koneko's head, the young girl looking up with soft eyes. "Don't worry about me, I'm your Senpai, I'll worry about you~"

Koneko nods ever so slightly, while Kazuto gives her a gentle smile.

Just then, Akeno skips forward, grinning as she does.

"Ufufu, look who's arrived~ Hello there, Kazuto-kun. Though we met before, my name is Akeno Himejima, feel free to call me Akeno."

"Akeno-senpai then?"

"No, no. Akeno-san will do for now. Maybe something even more if you'd like~" The suggestive tone that she had made Kazuto blink a few times, while Akeno loved seeing is expressions. "Don't worry, while you're here, I'll take care of you~"

If he didn't know any better, the look she offered was slightly sadistic that was mixed in with sweetness.

"Thanks Akeno-san. So...erm, I guess its Gremory-senpai in the shower?"

"Yes, she's washing herself after the previous night. She said she needed to after getting all hot and sweaty with you and Yumi-chan."

Kazuto coughed while Yumi looked astonished, Koneko furrowing her brows.

"W-What?"

"Ara, that's how Buchou is after all. But don't worry, I'll make sure you're safe from her wild ways."

Kazuto truly didn't know what he had gotten himself into.

Just then, the shower curtain opened, revealing a clad in towel Rias, which left little to the imagination, seeing how her long hair was soaking wet, adding to the allure of her body, and her soft looking gaze, she was quite the beauty.

"It seems that you've arrived..." Rias began gently, but her face dropped when she happened to see the camel on her desk, her face turning sickly white. "...Who brought that here?"

Kazuto was internally shocked to hear her voice go so quiet and full of seriousness all of a sudden.

"Ara Buchou, its okay. Its from Riser." Akeno conveyed.

Kazuto blinks in confusion. "Is everything okay Gremory-senpai? You look really pale looking at that camel toy."

Akeno withheld a laugh, while Rias placed a hand to her mouth, her eyes narrowing at the camel toy ever so slightly, Koneko and Yumi looking on curiously.

"...Camels are...camels, I have a slight aversion to them." Kazuto saw Akeno snickering and Rias looking dead serious, using her hand to send a magic circle to the camel toy, and had it removed from the room. "I'll be right out."

She then grabbed her clothes, and went back into the shower.

She came out a minute later fully dressed.

She then sat down on the couch, Kazuto sat opposite of her, with Yumi on his right, Koneko on the left, and Akeno went around serving some tea. Kazuto gracefully accepted her tea, and had a sip.

"Though I'm not usually a tea person, this is really good Akeno-san. Thank you~"

Akeno placed a cheery hand on her face, and continued giving off a cute smile. "Ara ara, thank you very much~"

Rias looks at Akeno, then pats the side of her.

"Akeno, you can sit down next to me." Akeno did just that, and sat down.


Kazuto watched as Rias folds her arms, and looks on with curious eyes. "So, this is going to be an odd conversation, isn't it Senpai?"

Rias giggled. "To be honest, I don't really know how to start this conversation. So, how about we each ask one question, and go back and forth like that?" Kazuto didn't have a problem with that, and inclines his neck. "So, may I go first?" Kazuto nods his head. "Okay then, so the first I should ask is…did you have any idea you had powers?"

"Honestly, for a long time now, I've had dreams that felt real, as if I've actually lived it. I'm mostly with a silver haired girl, I don't know who she is, but my heart knows, and we stick by one another, go on some wild adventures. I recall one where we met a pretty girl with an icy doll thing and she kept calling me "Cute little Dragon-kun~" while hugging me into her chest."

Rias rubs under her chin. "Icy doll you say...it sounds to me that these experiences probably have happened. And someone's tried to suppress those memories within you."

Yumi noticed his face dipping, so her hand gently laid on top of his own for comfort, support, whatever he needed.

He looked back at her, giving an appreciative smile on his face.

"To be honest, ever since I first started having those dreams, Grams laugh them off as if I was being a bit of a dreamer. But now...I don't know what to think. Grams, she's always been there for me, like she's been my rock...but I can't think of anyone else who it could be."

"If she's a magician, or someone that's related to the supernatural, its very possible. It could even be a Sacred Gear."

"Sacred Gear…" Kazuto murmured, that rang a huge bell in his head.

"Heard of them?" Rias inquired.

"I've heard it in my dreams before. The silver haired girl said it to me."

Rias gave bewildered eyes. "I see. Then those dreams certainly have to be real."

"Having a Sacred Gear...does that mean I'm also a human? The reason I ask is because that Fallen Angel guy, Dohnaseek was after me for a reason...yet he seemed shocked that I was a Devil, so I'm thinking he clearly didn't know that."

"You'd definitely be part human for sure if you have one, and you're at least part Devil, that's been established. We can find out if you're part human or have a Sacred Gear."

"That would be wonderful, thank you."

Rias adopts a small smile. "So, how about I see if you have a Sacred Gear, okay? It might be more difficult since someone's gone through lengths to conceal you, so if you don't mind, I'd have to hold your hand. Skin to skin contact."

"I guess a lot of Devil stuff has like erotic undertones, doesn't it~?" Kazuto chuckled jokingly.

Akeno snorted. "You learn quickly~"

Kazuto and Akeno shared an amused look, while Rias got off her couch, and went next to Kazuto.

Their hands came together, and the pair glanced in the others direction, a small redness dancing between their faces. Her slim slender fingers felt really warm and good on his skin, and in contrast, she felt the same.

His hand felt strong, kind and gentle, and she liked the warmth displayed from his body.

She closed her eyes and concentrated.

Kazuto looked to Yumi who gave him a soft cute smile, to Koneko who looked towards him wonderingly, and finally Akeno who showed her smile.

After a minute, Rias pulls back, and hums. "Its very difficult to tell. I'm sensing something, but I can't exactly make out what it is. Whoever hid your status, is clearly someone that has a good deal of power, above my own. But I could confirm you are indeed Half Devil, Half human, you're a hybrid."

Kazuto felt joyful upon hearing that. "So I am still human. But I'd like to know more about Devils, and what they do, what I can do as a Devil."

Rias gave a big smile. "That I can help you with. First and foremost, I again wish to apologize for what happened with the Fallen Angels."

Kazuto gives understanding eyes. "Please, its okay…but, at least I know more about myself now, and confirmed my dreams, were real."

"What if you had been Fallen Angel?" Akeno chimed in, Rias and the others look towards her curiously. "I mean, they attacked you. No one would hold it against you if you would hate that side of yourself."

"Well, certainly they didn't make the best first impression." Akeno lowered her eyes. "But I don't know them." Akeno lifts her eyes, meeting his gaze, seeing his warm smile aimed at her. "I can't judge an entire group of people, based on…two I guess I've interacted with, right?" Kazuto asked Yumi at the end.

Yumi nods. "Yes, that girl Yuuma was also a Fallen Angel. We believe her name is Raynare based on what we've found out."

Kazuto thought that made sense.

He recalled Dohnaseek mentioning a Raynare to him.

He inhaled, turning back to Akeno, finishing off his thoughts.

"Truthfully, right here and now, I can't say about what I don't know. There might be good Fallen Angels, there might be bad Devils, and certainly, humans aren't always the greatest either. So truthfully, even if I had been Half Fallen Angel, I'd take it like I am being a Devil right now. Confused, wanting answers, kinda thrilled I've got superpowers not gonna lie-" Akeno giggled at that one, seeing his cheerful smile. "-and curious on what it could mean for my future, and excited to find out about myself. I guess I'm a mixture of different things right now."

When he said that, Akeno felt her heart being taken by surprise.

She assumed like most that he'd be against Fallen Angels since they did attack him, he'd have the right too. Yet, he simply wished to understand more about them, it definitely made her happy to hear that.

"I see...then, why don't you spend time with us? I would like to know more about you, and in turn you can learn more about Devils, and other beings. In time...we can learn much about one another." Akeno said before Rias could, Rias was glad to see Akeno being happy.

Kazuto liked that. "That would be great everyone, thanks."

Rias shakes her head. "Not a problem. Well, I've grilled you enough for today, so why don't we meet tomorrow? Then you can think of questions for us, and we in turn can think of questions for you as well. If that's alright?"

"Sure...I have a job to get to anyway, and I've got to go and see Grams. So I'll see you tomorrow everyone. Thanks for the hospitality."

Kazuto went to stand, when Rias adopts an unsure face. "Also, Kazuto-kun. I'd like to ask you something."

Kazuto nods. "Sure, what?"

"The Fallen Angels have asked if we can meet one another, it seems they wish to explain what happened with Dohnaseek. Would you like to also be in attendance?" Kazuto nods quickly. "Okay, I thought you might. Though if you are, I'll have to say, the war between Devils and Fallen Angels…I hate saying this, because you've been through a lot because of these Fallen Angels already-"

"I need to make sure war doesn't break out, is what you're trying to say."

Rias was glad to see he was quite a quick guy, and caught onto things pretty well. "I understand you'd like to demand answers, I would in your position."

"Its okay, from what you said, it sounds like they wish to explain so I'll get some kind of answer regardless. To be honest I wanna know how they're going to explain this."

"I do as well, I don't know what their angle could be, other than we don't try and take them out for doing this. Yumi told me she came across a young man fleeing the scene, and I have to assume he told the Fallen Angels about your Devil status. And also, I was surprised, because when they reached out, I knew instantly something was going on, but then I also received word from a man named Kokabiel."

"Kokabiel?" Kazuto inquired.

"Yes, he's a Fallen Angel with high authority, he's vouching for them. Because of that, I've agreed to have a holographic meeting with them, for sure though, I want them to leave Kuoh, they've attacked an innocent, and I wont stand for it."

Kazuto could see that Rias genuinely cared.

He liked to see all of them in fact did, and was glad he was able to get to know people who could empathize with his situation.

"Ooh Senpai, you're getting so worked up over me~" Kazuto's teasing voice was everything to Akeno. "It makes me feel so warm inside~"

Akeno felt so happy right now, seeing Rias's flustered face. "W-Well, yes, you are our friend, s-so of course."

Kazuto snickered. "Thank you Senpai~ I hope something's I've said has helped piece together the mystery that is me."

Rias looked amused, seeing Kazuto's overall positive tone.

Though she knew deep down, he was thinking about what his life could be, and what he was truly going to do, and though he hadn't said, whenever mentioning his grandmother, she could see that he looked down, she hoped they could work through it.

"Yes, I'd say this has been quite enlightening."

Kazuto adopts a kind smile, and puts the leaflet in his pants pocket. "Thanks, Gremory-senpai, everyone. See you later."

Kazuto stands, bows, and leaves the room, leaving the others watching as he goes.


Yumi looks to Rias, who runs a finger across her chin. "Seems like he's going to be speaking with his grandmother soon…Buchou, if she took his memories…why?"

"I don't know, though we don't know if she did or not. But this is Kazuto-kun's life, if he needs us, he can call upon us."

Akeno adopts a sad smile. "Poor boy, his life's been flipped upside down, and he was targeted for just existing, and now to feel like your own family could be involved in keeping this secret…"

"Are you thinking about your father?" Rias noted more than asked.

Akeno nods anyway, looking to Koneko who looked uncomfortable. "You as well, Koneko-chan?"

Koneko nods in affirmation. "…Yes, it seems Senpai will fit in with us. I hope whatever answers he finds out, they are helpful to him, and that he can still have a family afterwards."

Rias and the others hoped for that as well.


While walking home, Kazuto had a number of thoughts running through his mind, and he couldn't decide what to think about.

However, as he walked, he felt an odd sensation run through his body, similar to how he felt when he met Dohnaseek...

No, this felt different to that.

[Partner...danger...]

Kazuto heard the same voice again.

"...Partner..." Kazuto called.

But he didn't get a response.

So Kazuto quickened his pace, his hand tightening as he was ready to fight.

But then he felt something shooting from behind.

So he looked, and saw demonic energy flying at him like a spear.

"Hah!" He reacted within less than a second, firing up into the air, dodging the attack, looking around to see that the street had suspiciously vacated, leaving only him on it.

On his way to the ground, Kazuto saw a hulking figure emerge from the shadows, and saw that the top half was that of an attractive woman, a long black haired woman with her bare breasts visible, sultry looking eyes, and a delightful face.

However, on the bottom half, was a grotesque looking centaur like. Four thick legs that looked like tree trunks, claws on each of the legs, and a snakes tail coming from the back of her. On the lower half, Kazuto saw a nasty set of sharp teeth looking ready to devour him and Asia in one bite.

She is gigantic and beastly, Kazuto estimated she was around 10 feet tall, more than double his own height. In her hands, Kazuto saw that there were energy like spears, her long fingers curling around the dangerous looking weapons.

A fierce smile grew on her face as she locked eyes with Kazuto who fully returned to the ground. "Well, well, well. What did I come across? A cute blonde all alone. I like my blonde boys~"

Kazuto grimaced. "Aw, I'm touched, though I don't think we're compatible."

"Ooh we can be, when I'm devouring you. You can be like my former Master, I killed him quickly too!"

Kazuto scoffed at her words. "Great, so you're crazy and evil. Seems like I keep coming across those types. So you're a Devil huh. I can sense...demonic energy radiating from you."

"Stray Devil boy. I'll dye your handsome face crimson red, your blood gushing out of your body which shall crumble away!"

Kazuto scowled, tightening his hand.

[Partner...fight...use your powers...]

Kazuto heard that voice again, and felt the familiar sensation of heat through his chest.

Unlike last time, since Kazuto felt more used to it, he was beginning to become less distracted by it.

"What's your name." Kazuto demands.

"Viser, that's my name. Remember it, for about five seconds, before I pierce you through!"

The woman raised her large spear, as thick and big as Kazuto's body.

However, the moment the spear was going to hit him, Kazuto raised his arm, and flooded his hand with the heat in his chest.

His demonic power shined brilliantly in the air, and the spear smashed against the power.

Viser's face twists as she tries pushing with her strength, but Kazuto stayed stationary, managing to hold off the spear, seeing it breaking down underneath his power.

"Five seconds huh?" Kazuto tightens his hand, and summons more of his demonic power.

It was incredible, Kazuto couldn't deny that.

He then swings his fist out, curving it towards the spear, and unleashed a violent shot of demonic power.

Viser watched in horror to see that the demonic power he released was able to rip right through the spear, causing it to shatter like glass, the chunk of spear near Kazuto fell down to the ground, while the other half broke apart in Viser's hand, the demonic power soaring through the sky, and ripped right through Viser's arm, destroying it completely, causing her to howl in agony as blood gushed out and stained the ground.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! What the hell?!"

Viser's anger grew, howling louder and louder, while Kazuto felt the presence inside.

[Good partner...you're getting used to it.]

"Yeah, now lets see..." Kazuto twirls his fingers, power flared all throughout his body, and moves towards his hands, growing bigger and bigger between his fingers. "Okay, here we go..."

"No! Don't you dare!" Viser moved her giant legs, and attempted to crush Kazuto under the weight of her body as well as her physical strength, Kazuto glanced up towards the incoming attack, so he exhales strongly.

"I'll dare, alright." Kazuto thrusts his hand up, his demonic power surging between his hands, and then unleashed a giant blast of demonic power that was the size of Kazuto, the demonic power was stronger than Viser.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!" Viser screams as blood gushes out from Kazuto's power ripping right through the giant leg, turning it into nothingness from his energy attack alone, breaking down the giant leg, and caused the Stray Devil to fall down to the ground.

Viser looked on, her face twisting to despair upon seeing Kazuto approaching her.

Kazuto then exhales, as Viser stabs her remaining spear into the ground, trying to pull her body up from now missing one leg and missing one arm.

Viser felt her anger growing higher, and her body was shaking from the blood leaking from her missing leg, her missing arm, she was shaking completely.

"Get away from me!" Viser snaps, and shoots a volley of acid towards Kazuto from her chest.

"Acid...from your boobs? What kind of power is that?" Kazuto exclaimed.

"Yeah, enjoy them my blonde boy!"

Kazuto breathed in and out slowly, making sure that his demonic power was ready, seeing the barrage of acid.

"Sorry, you attacked me so, disappear!"

Kazuto unleashed his demonic power in the form of large shots of radiant looking energy, raining it upon Viser's form.

His power easily broke through her acid shots, destroying Viser's hopes of getting attacks through towards him, and she tried to defend with her remaining spear.

But the shots of demonic power barreled their way through her spear, a few shots destroyed it, and continued on.

"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Viser's screams could be heard coming throughout all of the street, as Kazuto's demonic energy vaporized Viser's body.

There was nothing left by the time that his power had finished Viser off, Kazuto exhales, and cracks his neck.

"Damn...these demonic powers kick some ass...getting a better hang of them too...thanks mystery voice."

[Partner...well done.]

Kazuto looked at his chest, as he felt a familiar feeling inside.

He knew the voice was coming from him, he didn't know what it was, but he knew it was his friend, and he felt grateful.


When Kazuto returned home that evening, he came across his grandmother sat on the couch, so he came next to her.

"I wish this day hadn't come." His grandmother held a hand to her chest, giving a sorrowful look. "Kazuto…I'm so sorry."

Kazuto could feel the sincerity in her tone. "Grams…I just fought-"

"I know, I monitored you, I saw you beating that Stray Devil, seems like you're beginning to get a handle on your powers." His grandmother bowed her head. "Kazuto...I wish I could've stopped the Fallen Angel yesterday, I was...dealing with another matter."

"Another matter?" Kazuto questions, wondering what else had come for him.

She nods, and explains. "I was dealing with something else trying to come near you. I know you have a lot of questions, and I want to answer everything I can. But first, I…I am sorry for what happened. I wanted you to live a normal life. This world is filled with heartache, and sorrow, you especially had to live that, thanks to those beings…"

Kazuto's eyes fell. "What do you mean?"

His grandmother showed a soft smile, placing her hand on top of his own.

"Kazuto, in the past, you were hurt…more than hurt, you nearly died, protecting that silver haired girl…" He could hear pain in her voice, her fist clenching. "Sorry...its hard to talk about..."

Kazuto felt through her words, the anguish she felt, he knew she couldn't ever fake.

He placed his hands together, looking into her eyes for any answers.

"I've always felt you would do things for my benefit, I want to believe that's what's happening right now, Grams. Who did this?"

"Someone who wanted to hurt you, that monster tried to take you from me, and so when the world thought you were dead, I wanted you to live a normal life, so I decided to protect you this way."

"Why would someone take my memories? Where they...gonna use me or something?"

The elderly woman shrugged. "I wish I knew, but you could be right. All I know is that day, when I found you, after that terrible fight, you didn't remember the supernatural, so I played along with it, to give you a normal life. I used my magic to hide you...and it worked for a while, but your powers, I could feel them surfacing inside of you, becoming harder to hide..."

Kazuto listened to her words, trying to make sense of them, and why what happened to him did.

"So Grams, I keep hearing a voice in my head, he calls me partner...it feels so familiar to me, like an old friend..."

"Yes, that'd be the Longinus inside of you."

"Longinus…" Kazuto looked to his left arm instinctually, as if he felt something would appear there though nothing did.

"Yes, that's right…you see, you were born with a few gifts, and there were those in the world, Devils...they feared your existence from when they found out about you, they treated you terribly, attacked you, tried to kill you...just because you existed..."

His grandmother paused, her eyes beginning to flicker with tears.

Kazuto felt for her, he could see that she was struggling.

So his hand reached out, and curled around her own.

She looked into his eyes appreciatively.

"What happened to me Grams...?"

"You were...attacked, you protected that silver haired girl...to be honest, I don't know about all of your life, there are parts I wasn't apart of, because you weren't in my reach. But what I do know, I will share. That silver haired girl...you saved her from being cursed by a being called Samael, its power is very effective against Dragons, to the point its called the Dragon Eater."

"Dragons, Dragon Eater..." Kazuto murmured, glancing at his arm again. "Dragon type, Sacred Gears too?"

She nods. "Yes, it was thanks to your power you survived. Samael's curse is very powerful against many powerful Dragons...I am thankful you were able to fight that curse off from killing you, and the Dragon inside your Sacred Gear."

Kazuto slowly nods his head, taking it all in. "That silver haired girl...who was she to me?"

"I can't answer that, only you and she knew what your relationship was." Kazuto exhaled, nodding slowly. "I wont lie, your life is going to change, you will draw people to you, good, but also evil. The genie can't be put back in the bottle, Gremory's group know about you, and I am sure soon others will as well. But, I'll do my best to support you."

Kazuto's lips curl comfortingly up to his grandmother.

"Grams, I'm sorry you've taken on a lot to keep me safe, it must've been hard. You've been there for me Grams, now let me take care of you. I'll do whatever I can to regain my memories, and manipulate my powers...so you can rely on me."

Hearing that, she adopts a bright smile, a happy tear in her eye.

"That's my grandson, you're a kind, gentle boy, never lose those qualities, my boy." As she spoke, her face fell. "I must confess, Devils are difficult for me to think about. For what they've done to you, to me...but it doesn't change how I feel about you. You're my grandson, Devil, human, anything in this world, wouldn't change my love for you."

Kazuto adopts a small smile on his face. "Thanks, Grams. So, what now? I wish to remember...can you help me with that?"

The elderly woman bows her neck. "Honestly, I'll have to explore what I can for you, my boy. Its a strong seal, but there are a few ways potentially. For now, why don't I show you a bit of what I can do?"

As she said it, her fingers waved in the air, and the next moment, he saw elements of fire, ice, lightning, and others beginning to fill the atmosphere around them, Kazuto's eyes lit up, watching the magic swirl all around him like a beautiful dance.

"Wow Grams, that's so cool~ So, you're a magician then?"

"Yes, a pretty good one I'd say, many used to call me Witch of the East, Augusta. And Kazuto...I'm sorry I kept this from you, I only wanted what's best for you. To give you a life...what you didn't have before, free from pain, from being hunted...you could just be a normal boy."

Kazuto nods slowly. "I understand Grams, you wanted to protect me, and thanks to you, I did live a nice normal life, but now I know...you don't have to worry, I'll do my best so you don't have to worry as much."

"I'll always worry, but I know you'll be strong, my boy." Augusta leans over, and hugs her grandson and he hugs her back. "We will get your memories back, I promise."

While this situation was difficult for her, he knew his grandmother cared about him, and it seemed that she saw this as the best way for her to proceed with protecting him from enemies, though hearing how he protected a silver haired girl, he was glad at least he did something to save someone.

He was glad to know that after all this time, his dreams were real.

He wanted to know more about the silver haired girl, and more about his life before.

Though more importantly, he wanted to know what his future was going to be like, and what this Longinus power could truly be.


Meanwhile, within a place called the Grigori, a man who had very pale skin, and bat like ears, was shaking.

To think he would have to help Fallen Angels that he felt were beneath him, was something that caused him anger.

His face was unreadable, and his eyes narrowing further, upon receiving a message.

While reading said message, he happened to glance a young girl with silver hair walking in the opposite direction, a red Dragon plush riding on her shoulder.

Their eyes meet briefly, and the man's lips curl up. "Vali."

"Did Azazel contact me?"

"No, it seems you're free. What are you doing?"

"What I do is not your business." Vali simply left.

Kokabiel looked at the message once more, and adopted a small smirk. "Guess its time to visit a friend."


End chapter!

So this chapter gave us a little more insight to what has been going on, with Augusta being revealed to be Kazuto's grandmother. For those who don't know who Augusta is, she's in Slash Dog. Along with that, Kazuto got to know more about his Devil powers, and as he adjusts, is beginning to show them through beating Viser.

And then Kazuto had a heart to heart with Augusta, her telling him how she felt, wanting to give a better life after living a difficult life, how Kazuto got cursed by the Dragon Eater protecting Vali. Though Kokabiel's aiding the Fallen Angels for the time being, and it seems Kokabiel's got a 'friend', and we'll see who that is very soon.

Thanks to everyone that's voted for harem/peerage members so far. I got some cool suggestions. Xenovia seems a pretty popular choice as does Asia, Lavinia's a very big possibility, Ravel's definitely going to be in it, Koneko too.

I've seen Vali being mentioned a few times, that could be fun, having two Heavenly Dragons in the same group and even some newer characters as well like Zekka, they could be fun.

And of course, all suggestions for both harem, and peerage are very much welcomed!

Well, until next chapter, thanks for reading!
