Sitting on a small rock in the middle of a wide open space, Damian sat in front of a small fire as he placed a few sticks with fish he recently caught and watched them cook. The sun beat down in the sky with very few clouds being present in the sky. It was a pretty nice day in his view.
He had left Kyoto a couple of days ago after saying goodbye to his lover and daughter. It was only temporarily until he sorted out this brewing mess with the Fallen Angels. After the incident with the group, Damian had wasted no time in contacting Azazel and arranging a meeting between them, but Damian made sure it would be anywhere but at Kyoto as he didn't trust the Fallen Angel Governor near his family.
"Nya~" The sound of a cat's meow brought the Devil from his thoughts and he looked to his left, blinking as he found a black-furred cat with amber eyes staring at him, eyes darting from the fish he had to him and back again.
Looking down at his meal and then towards the cat, Damian rolled his eyes and took the fish of the stick before putting the fish a few feet in front of him.
"Go on enjoy," He said and watched as the cat slowly came forward, sniffed the fish before began eating it hungrily. "You must've been very hungry, the way you're devouring that like it's the last piece of food in the entire world."
Once the cat finished it's meal, it came forward and rubbed itself against his leg while purring happily, no doubt thanking him for the meal in those strange ways cats can thank people. Sighing, he scratched the top of its head and got louder purrs in return. However, his affectionate actions didn't last long as he grabbed the cat by the scruff of it's neck and brought it up to eye level.
"Now, why don't you tell me who you are, Devil?" Damian asked sternly, earning a wide-eyed look from the cat. "You may be able to change into a cat, but you cannot hide your Devil signature. And I know only one species capable of turning into cats, you're of the Nekomata, aren't you? Thought your race was wiped out."
Before the cat could do anything, a new power signature appeared and it was heading in their direction. Damian narrowed his eyes as he recognised it before putting the cat down.
"Hide in the tent. Once I deal with this, we'll continue our little chat." He ordered.
All he got was a stare in return before the cat purred at him again and quickly sauntered into the tent and disappeared from site. Thankfully the large tent had similar runes on it and would be hidden from the world.
Sighing and picking up a fish, he sat and ate while he waited.
He didn't need to wait long before he heard footsteps come from behind him. "I see you got my message." He said without turning around.
"Well, when the infamous Devil of Death contacts me for something serious, I feel it's best if I see what he wants." The new arrival came around and sat across from Damian. He was a man in his mid to late twenties with black hair with blonde bangs hanging in front of his face. On his face was a small black goatee and had dark pink colored eyes. On his back however were twelve wings as black as night, indicating he was a Fallen Angel. "Though, did we have to meet so close to Kuoh?"
Damian narrowed his eyes at him. "Kuoh is why I contacted you, Azazel. Several of your underlings were in Kyoto a couple of days ago, intending to kidnapp a young Kitsune for Kokabiel. One of them mentioned a woman named 'Raynare' and that she was in Kuoh, which is currently the territory of Rias Gremory and Sona Sitri. Why are they there?"
"And here I thought you had no care for things concerning the Underworld these days." Azazel said with a lazy grin, but the glare he got from the Devil told him to cease making things a joke and get to the point. Azazel sighed. "I was actually hoping to talk to you about this. A month ago, I sent Raynare and three others to Kuoh to keep watch over a couple of Sacred Gear users, one of which may be very promising."
Damian frowned. "What do you mean?"
"A boy named Issei Hyoudou, who I believe is this generation's Red Dragon Emperor." Azazel said seriously. Damian's eyes widened, having met several past hosts of the Red Dragon, Ddraig, and battled them, just as he has met and faced those who hosted the White Dragon, Albion.
"You intend to bring him to the Fallen Angels?" Damian asked lowly, wondering what Azazel's agenda was.
Azazel shook his head. "No, only to make sure he doesn't lose control of his power though it appeared he didn't know what he contained within him. Lately, my group has not reported in weeks, and my spies have managed to tell me that the boy has become a Devil under the service of Rias Gremory, which means he had to have been killed and resurrected. And I have received news that another Sacred Gear user, a girl who was excommunicated from the Church, is heading to Kuoh. Raynare has always been the power-hungry type, hoping to impress me."
Damian rose an eyebrow. "You think she's going rogue?"
"From the looks of it, yes." Azazel nodded. "I ordered Hyoudou to be left alive, not killed. I'm willing to pay you a good deal of money if you can investigate Kuoh, find Raynare and her compatriots, and bring them back to me alive so I can question them."
Damian stared at Azazel for a long moment, his finger tapping his knee as he considered the Fallen Angel's offer. After nearly a minute, he finally nodded. "I'll do what I can, but don't expect me to bring them all back. You'll be lucky if I even bring back one of them. I don't want to tip Gremory off to my presence in her town, so I'll make it quick and be done before the Devils of Kuoh realize I'm there."
Azazel nodded. "Well, if you can bring just one alive, I'd recommend it be Raynare. She is the leader of the group, so she'll have the most information."
Damian nodded. "Where do I start looking?"
"There's an abandoned church in the town. One that I hear has been occupied by some Stray Exorcists and rogue Fallen. That should help smooth things along for you." Azazel informed, then he stood up. "Well, nice talking to you, Damian. But I gotta go, there's a sexy blonde waiting for me to give her a night she'll never forget!"
With a laugh, Azazel spread his wings and took off, disappearing through a teleportation circle as Damian shook his head with an eye roll.
"Asshole." He muttered. He stood up and walked into his tent. The tent itself was a magical tent meaning it was a lot bigger on the inside. While outside it looked like a simple four person tent, inside it was as big as a four bedroom house with a small kitchen, warm colored carpet, mats and furniture. There was even a bathing area.
"So, I hope you have some answers for me and tell me just who you are." Damian said as he looked over towards one of the bedrooms and saw a cat shadowed figure run along the white sheet.
He then watched as the cat grew and took on a human shape and soon enough, a woman walked out. She was a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure, long black hair with split bangs, and hazel-gold eyes with cat-like pupils.
Oh, and she was also completely naked.
"Thanks for hiding me, Mr. Devil." She threw him a wink. "I owe you one."
And I'll just end it here. Next chapter will be Damian cleaning house in Kuoh. I'm not gonna drag it out, not with what he can do. This is an older, more powerful version of Damian compared to the one in Lucifer of Mammon, so a few rogue Fallen Angels and Stray Exorcists are barely even a challenge to him, more like a three minute warm-up.
Harem: Yasaka (Alpha), Serafall, Kuroka, Gabriel, Raynare.
