Dragon of the Elements

by Draconis678

After observing him fighting against the Demon King of his world, Lucifer Sirzechs brings a demon by the name of Kenshin to Kuoh where he soon passes out from his injuries, he is reincarnated as a Devil by Rias who reincarnated the soul he just took in. How will this new twist affect the world around him, and did his family have history in this world? He would soon find out.

28. In Pursuit of Thy Enemy

Draconis: Kenshin, you here?

Sirzechs: He's not here. Remember? He was abducted.

Serafall: Yeah, remember?

Draconis: And yet Serafall could make it.

Ajuka: It is strange.

Draconis: What? Are the Four Satans showing up unannounced?

Falbium: Zzzzzz...

Draconis: Uh huh. Negi where is he?

Negi: Oh I sent him and Chachamaru-San on an errand.

Draconis: Ah. Well tell him when he gets back that we started without him.

Negi: OK.

Dragon of the Elements.

Chapter 28

In Pursuit of thy Enemy.

Draconis: Begin.

(start)

Luciferd.

Rias, Yukari, Sona, Issei and the others arrived at Luciferd without much incident. Grayfia was waiting for them. "Ojou-Sama, I know you're worried, but I still don't think now is a good time."

"Grayfia, with all due respect, stow the lecturing. I need to see my brother and nothing's going to stop me." Rias said.

"..." Grayfia sighed. "Very well. He shouldn't have went to meet the council yet. So you should have time."

"Meet the council? For what?" Rias asked.

"He's getting clearance to pursue the terrorists himself." Grayfia said. "A Satan was abducted along with Kenshin, who has become an important figure himself."

"I see." Rias said.

"!" Rossweisse felt a familiar pulse of magic in the air. Miyuki turned to her. "What is it?"

"I...It's Odin-Sama and Loki. They're both here in the Underworld." Rossweisse said.

"What? !" Yukari said rounding on her.

"Obviously. According to Kenshin's report. This Hottan character that sent the Dragon of Truth and this Jack Rakan character here struck a partnership with Loki. We're going to interrogate him for answers." Grayfia said. "He's still very much sealed."

"Answers like what?" Akeno asked.

"Sirzechs mainly wants to know what this Hottan wants Kenshin for. If he wanted Kenshin dead. The Dragon of Truth could have easily struck him down when his paralysis magics immobilized Kenshin." Grayfia said.

"I see. Nothing about my sister then?" Sona asked.

"We don't think Loki knows anything about her. I think she in fact pursued them." Grayfia said. "Don't worry Sona-San, we are going to find her as well."

"By the way, how were you able to get away from school?" Yukari asked. "It's been about a day since the attack happened."

"I told Tsubaki and the others to mind things while I went to find out more about my sister's disappearance. It's basically like if I were to go visit my family." Sona answered. "If I need more time then they are capable of taking care of things in my absence." Yukari nodded.

"I wonder where Azazel is though? He should be at least a little concerned about what's happened." Irina said looking up at the sky.

"He took off before the news broke." Hikari said. "He wouldn't say what was up, but it seemed to be serious."

"Jeez, things just seem to be falling apart huh?" Kazumi asked.

"Well, hopefully we can get some answers about what's going on." Kiba said.

"Uuu...I hope Kenshin-Senpai is alright..." Gasper said.

"I agree..." Koneko said, her head bowed slightly.

"Ah come on everyone, this is Kenshin we're talking about here. Ddraig said he was fine. I don't see why that could have changed." Issei said trying to cheer everyone up.

"He is strong...but still..." Xenovia said.

"...Thanks Issei, but some of us can't help feeling worried, you know." Rias said.

"I know." Issei nodded.

The rest of the trip to the castle went off without much incident. "People seem really high strung." Issei said.

"Yes, such things tend to happen when there is an attack like this." Xenovia said.

"Nothing against Kenshin, but if it was just him that was taken. I doubt people would be as shaken up." Sona said.

Yukari nodded. "I get where you're coming from. Kenshin's famous and strong, but Serafall is one of the Satans. If it's shown that people could get to them, it's got to shake up morale."

"Yes, which is why we have to hurry with this meeting and get over there as soon as possible." Everyone looked up and saw Sirzechs descending the stairs.

"Onii-Sama!" Rias said. "How has everything been going?"

Sirzechs sighed. "Not well...Millicas saw Kenshin get attacked with his own two eyes. As you can imagine, he's traumatized by it."

"Uhm...may I go and see him?" Issei asked. "Maybe having another person to talk to that he looks up to might help. Besides, if I went to this meeting, I doubt I'd know what was going on."

"..." Sirzechs, Grayfia and Rias all smiled at him. Sirzechs turned and waved his hand. Enku appeared. "Lead Issei-kun to my son's room."

"Right away sir." Enku said.

"The rest of you can come with me to the council meeting if you like." Sirzechs said. "If I get clearance to leave then we should be able to head out tomorrow."

They all nodded and followed Sirzechs out of the castle. Meanwhile Issei knocked on Millicas' door. "...Come in..." Issei heard him say. Issei opened the door and saw Millicas curled up on the bed.

Issei approached the bed. "Hey."

"O-Oppai Dragon?" Millicas said questioningly.

"Yeah." Issei said. "I hear you saw what happened."

"..." A small nod was all Issei got.

"Listen, I know you're scared and worried about one of your heroes, but I want to tell you that Kenshin's alright." Issei said with a smile.

"H-How do you know? You weren't there, if you were, maybe you could have helped Sir Kenshin." Millicas said.

"Y-Yeah, that was Kenshin's idea. He wanted some time away from me, so he found a way to make it happen." Issei said with a sweatdrop. "We didn't know that this was going to happen."

"..." Millicas let out a sigh. "I...I know, but Sir Kenshin's so strong...how was he taken down so easily."

"Every hero has a weakness." Issei said. "Yukari-San says the guy that attacked him knew those weaknesses."

"...Are you sure Sir Kenshin's alright?" Millicas asked.

"Of course. Like you said, Kenshin's strong, so there's no way he's gonna let himself get taken out by some masked weirdo. Besides..." Issei called for his Boosted Gear. "We both have this and the dragon it comes from told me Kenshin's just fine."

"R-Really?" Millicas said. Issei nodded. "..." His eyes began to tear up.

"M-Millicas?" Issei said. His eyes widened as Millicas started crying. "H-Hey! What's wrong? !"

"N-Nothing, I'm just so happy he's alright!" Millicas cried.

Enku burst through the door. "Millicas-Sama, what's wrong? !"

Issei patted Millicas on the shoulder. "Nothing's wrong, he's just relieved that Kenshin's OK."

"He is?" Enku asked.

"Yeah. Ddraig told me himself. We're still connected through him." Issei said.

"...Aaah. I see." Enku said. "That's good."

Meanwhile.

Council Chambers.

Sirzechs was at the center of the council chambers. Behind him was Ajuka and Falbium, while off to the side was where Rias, Yukari, Sona and the others were standing.

"I trust the news has reached you all by now, so I'll cut right to the chase." Sirzechs said. "These terrorists have abducted one of the Satans and the Dragon of the Elements. With your approval I will go to Mundus Magicus and retrieve them myself."

"Yourself? Are you sure that's really necessary Lord Sirzechs?" One of the elders asked.

"If it was just the Dragon of the Elements, it wouldn't be as necessary, but I am the only one who knows the spell to get to where they've been taken." Sirzechs said. "It's the same spell I used to bring Kenshin here in the first place."

"Well then son, why don't you teach it to someone else?" Lord Gremory asked.

"It's a complex spell, one misstep and it could send someone barreling to the wrong world." Sirzechs said. "It would take me at least a week to teach it to them and who knows what could happen in that time."

"Why is that?" Another of the elders asked.

"Because the distance between our world and the one Kenshin and Serafall are currently in is so vast. The flow of time itself is warped. I would say for every day that passes here, a week will have passed there. That is a rough estimate though." Sirzechs said. "To ask them to wait a week here while I teach my spell to someone else, would be asking Kenshin and Serafall to stay safe for two months. While I agree Serafall takes priority as one of the Four Satans, we cannot over look everything that Kenshin's done for us."

"Yes, but Khaos Brigade is still around and still very much a threat. Wouldn't you leaving with your entire peerage to go retrieve Lady Serafall and Sir Kenshin be shown as a sign of weakness to them?" Lord Phenex asked.

"I do not plan to be gone more than a couple of days, three at the most." Sirzechs said. "Also I will not be leaving with my peerage. The only ones so far that are going are my queen Grayfia and myself. I was thinking of taking Kenshin's peerage along as well."

Murmurs of agreement were heard throughout the council chambers. "Well then. We approve, please bring my daughter back to us." Lord Sitiri said.

"It will be done." Sirzechs said. "Now, because we haven't got a whole lot of ideas on what we're getting into, aside from what Kenshin's peerage can tell us. I've arranged for Odin-Sama to bring Loki in for questioning." He nodded toward the door to his right and it was opened as Odin, flanked by two heroes. Behind them, in chains was Loki.

Sirzechs turned toward them. "Alright Sirzechs, here he is." Odin said. "Go ahead and ask him, but I can't guarantee you'll get much."

Loki was placed on his knees before Sirzechs. "Evil God Loki." Sirzechs said. "You are present before the Devil Council for questioning. You will answer or be punished. Am I clear?"

"Heh...if the torturers of Valhalla couldn't wring anything out of me, what makes you think you can?" Loki said with a callous smirk.

"..." Sirzechs narrowed his eyes. He was about to start questioning when Yukari cleared her throat. He turned to her. "What is it?"

"Might I make a suggestion?" Yukari asked walking forward. "Most of the interrogation done so far has been to his body, if the fact that he had trouble walking was anything to go by. Obviously that isn't going to work."

"What do you suggest then?" Sirzechs asked.

"Pain is just temporary for him. He doesn't care that his body is hurt. He is a god after all." Yukari said. "You need someone who can attack his mind."

"Huhuhuhuhu...do you think such a thing is possible?" Loki asked.

"Well then, would you like to give it a shot?" Sirzechs asked.

"If you do not care to let me." Yukari said.

"Of course." Sirzechs stepped aside. "Ask him about Serafall first. To help ease our minds a little bit."

"Alright." Yukari stepped in front of Loki and placed her hand firmly on his head. "Did Hottan ever plan to target Lady Serafall Leviathan?"

"..." Loki said nothing.

"No vocal answer, fine." Yukari said as she began probing his mind. "You're going to want to start answering me. I know there are something things that I can't get to, but what I can get to will be used against you."

"You're wasting your time." Loki said.

"..." Yukari narrowed her eyes. She turned her head to Sirzechs. "Lady Serafall was not factored into Hottan's plans. I doubt she's in danger right now, as long as she isn't trying to fight him and just seeking out Kenshin."

"I see, that's good." Sirzechs said.

"Alright, now for the part I think only a few of us care about." Yukari said. "What does Hottan want Kenshin for?"

"I won't tell you." Loki said defiantly.

"Oh you will, just give me a bit of time." Yukari said. "Just have to probe the right places."

"..." Loki went silent.

"So tell me Loki, as a fledgling god, you know, many years ago. Did you ever have any traumatizing events?" Yukari asked.

"...No, I did not." Loki said with a scowl.

"You Liar." Yukari said. "When you were young, Thor would always pick on you, nothing more than teasing and pushing around as siblings often do when they're young. He would occasionally pin you down with Mjolnir and leave you there for a bit, am I right?"

"..." Loki continued to scowl.

"You never considered Thor as your brother, just like you never considered the AllFather Odin as your Dad, you were scared of them at first, weren't you? Scared of Odin's fierce and masterful control of lightning magic and the spear Gungnir, while Thor's Hammer, Mjolnir terrified you."

"You're wrong." Loki snarled.

"Am I? Well then why create pets who can slay the gods if you weren't? Why not then take them out yourself and prove your supremacy over them on your own?" Yukari asked. "How about recently then?" Yukari asked. "Has anything to this extent happened to you?"

"...Stay the hell out of my head woman! !" Loki seethed, his head thrashing around. Odin snapped his fingers and the chains lost slack.

"What's wrong, am I making uneasy?" Yukari asked as she leaned forward. "Get used to it..before this is over, I'll know everything." She whispered into his ear.

"Krrrh..." Loki growled.

Yukari placed her hand back on his head. "Alright...now this is your last chance before I begin. What does Hottan want with Kenshin?"

"I will never tell you anything." Loki said with a scowl.

"...Thank you." Yukari said gripping Loki's head tightly. "Realistic Illusion! Visions of Hell!"

"Grrggh! !" Loki growled in pain as the area around him melted away. Replaced with pitch black darkness. In front of him Odin appeared. He saw that he was free and charged Odin from behind. However, before he could reach the Allfather. A spear of lightning tore through his chest. "Hrnh? !" Loki looked down to find Gungnir in his chest.

Odin turned to him with a derisive smirk on his face. "Boy, did you really think you could take my back like that? You deserve punishment for your foolishness!" A pulse went through Gungnir that shocked Loki literally to the core.

When the light from the lightning shock died down. Odin was gone. "? !" Loki looked around frantically.

"Something wrong brother?" Loki rounded to find a large, muscular blonde man, garbed in the armor of the Norse Warriors. In his hand was Mjolnir. "Father said you needed to be punished...and you shall. By my name as Thunder God, Thor!"

"Hrrrnnn! ! !" Loki grunted and growled in pain.

When the repeated strikes from Mjolnir finally let up. Loki looked around. "Thor is gone..."

"Heheheheheh..." A dark chuckle was in the air.

"!" Loki rounded, looking around for the source.

"...You know...we never did properly finish our fight." Loki turned his head to find Kenshin walking up to him, Balance Breaker active.

"You...you think I fear you boy? !" Loki snarled.

"If you don't then why am I here?" Kenshin asked pointing Kuroi Jigoku at him. "You know I can kick the ever loving shit out of you, and that scares you...if it didn't...I wouldn't be here."

Yukari took her hand off of Loki's head. "Ready to talk?"

"Never!" Loki shouts.

"Your choice." Yukari said grabbing his head again, reapplying the illusion.

"Grrrrhhhh! !" Loki bit back a cry of pain as his head throbbed.

"W-What's she's doing to him?" Asia asked.

"Just look away Asia. Look away and plug your ears." Xenovia said with a somber look.

"Better yet, come with me." Hikari said pulling her away along with Gasper, Irina and Kazumi.

"What are you doing to him?" Sirzechs asked.

"Attacking his mind." Yukari said. "When physical interrogation fails, you must use what you know about your victim against them. If there are those amongst you that can't handle the yelling to come, I'd advise you to leave now."

Some of the elders got up to leave. "Basically you're torturing him." Sirzechs said.

"If you have another idea Sirzechs-Sama, I'm all ears." Yukari said.

"..." Sirzechs didn't reply.

Yukari took her hand off him again. "I can keep doing this all day if I have to Loki, start talking now."

"I will not talk and you cannot make me!" Loki shouts.

"Try me." Yukari said grabbing hold of his head once again.

"Gaaaaahhhh!" Loki was nearly floored by the pain.

A few minutes later she removed her hand. "Start talking evil god. Because if I have to I will turn your brain to mush!" She shouts.

"Go to hell!" Loki shouts.

"Been there, didn't like it so I came back." Yukari said reapplying the illusion.

"Grrrraaahhhhh! ! !" Loki screamed in agony.

Odin held his hand up as he guards tried to stop her. "Sir, if she keeps this up he could go under."

"No, he won't." Odin said. "Loki's pride won't allow him to fall into unconsciousness. Besides...he's a criminal now, and what he's done could potentially impact us all."

Yukari took her hand off Loki's head again before grabbing him by the hair and looking him in the eyes. "I didn't take it that far, I know you're still conscious. As the attacks on your mind continue, it weakens, that's why you feel more and more pain each time I do it. If I shatter your mind. I'll just leave it that way, all your safeguards will fall all the same." She said in a neutral tone.

"Very...well..." Loki said. "You want to know so badly? Fine, it's not like it will make a difference in the end."

"Alright." Yukari said letting go of his hair. "Now, what's Hottan want with Kenshin?"

"...Heh." Loki smirked. "He finds himself in need of a new body. Curious isn't it?" Loki asked.

"So Hottan wants to put Kenshin on like a new suit does he?" Yukari said. "Tch, I had a feeling. It certainly explains a lot. Why Hottan seems to have a hard on for him being one."

"Yes." Loki said before turning to Sirzechs. "You know I really must commend you. Reaching down and pulling out quite the gem. A real rarity that one is."

"What are you talking about?" Rias asked walking toward them.

"I'm not being questioned by you girl. If you want to know, feel free to ask either of these two." Loki said. "Once Hottan has Kenshin's body and has subverted his will. He will have the perfect body with which to use his magic, with the added benefit of the elements in their purest forms. No one will be able to stop him, not you." He turned to Yukari. "Not you." Then he turned to Sirzechs. "And not you either."

"..." Silence reigned over the council room until Yukari spoke up. "Why Kenshin? What's so special about him?"

"Probably because most of Hottan's magic doesn't work on Kenshin." Sirzechs said. "That much I was able to get out of those prisoners Kenshin brought in to Azazel."

"Yes. Where as the rest of you that plan on going to Mundus Magicus to retrieve Kenshin and that woman would be affected by Hottan's magic. Kenshin would not be affected for the most part. Regretfully, for quite some time now, Hottan has not been able to make full use of his magic. Not since a war in which he lost to another man who was immune to his magics like Kenshin is."

"Nagi Springfield." Yukari said. "He was a war hero...until Hottan overshadowed him and he was killed by his daughter Negi."

"Precisely. It's a conundrum. Only those immune to Hottan's Fantasy Magic can use it to it's maximum potential, and his real body was lost a long time ago." Loki said.

"You mean to tell me that he's a homunculus too? !" Yukari shouts.

"Homunculus?" Lord Gremory said.

"It's a type of man made life. The most we've seen are demons, but apparently humans can be made now too." Yukari said. "It's how Hottan got his armies together in Mundus Magicus."

"That's precisely what I mean to say." Loki said. "Hottan cannot leave Mundus Magicus right now due to a seal placed on him by Negi Springfield, but outside of Mundus Magicus is the only place you can hope to defeat him, unless Kenshin himself does it...which is unlikely. Hottan's already killed him once."

"Once? !" Rias, Akeno, and Xenovia shout.

"Things have changed since then." Yukari said. "And Fantasy Magic or not, Hottan's going to pay for what he's done." Yukari turned and started walking away.

"You mean like he did during the battle of the Gravekeeper's Palace?" Loki asked.

"..." Yukari stopped.

"Or how about afterward, when that Negi woman after all your friends died, leaving you, your sister and your mother all high and dry, hm?" Loki asked.

"..." Yukari turned to her with a dead look in her eyes, narrowed into a soulless scowl, her hands balled up into shaking fists..

"Face it. You can't defeat him, but you foolishly try and let everyone around you die." Loki said.

(clench!)

"SHUT UP! !" Yukari roared grabbing Loki by the head, applying her illusion again.

"Grrrraaahhhhh! !" Loki cried out in agony.

"How does it feel to have someone fuck with your head? ! HOW DOES IT FEEL YOU BASTARD? !" Yukari screamed angrily.

A small smirk appeared on Loki's face. "Yesss...come on...FINISH IT! !" He thought.

"...!" Yukari pulled her hand back as Sirzechs reached to pull her off of him.

"..." Loki fell to his hands and knees, panting. "...No...NO! !" He looked up in angry desperation. "DO IT! KILL ME! !"

"Seems I found something else you fear...you don't want to go back to the Valhalla prisons." Yukari said turning around and walking away. "Well you can go back there and rot, you son of a bitch."

Sirzechs nodded toward Odin to who had his guards take Loki away. He then turned to his council. "Alright. If everything's in order I'll be leaving tomorrow. This meeting is adjourned."

"When you get back, we want a full report." Lord Phenex said.

"Of course." Sirzechs said as he left the room. Ajuka and Falbium followed. "Ajuka, until I get back you're in charge of Serafall's duties. I'll appoint one of my pieces to take care of my duties."

"Right." Ajuka said teleporting away.

"What about me?" Falbium asked.

"Just fight the Khaos Brigade like you've been doing. With your mind." Sirzechs said. "I shouldn't be gone too long."

"Right." Falbium yawned and warped away.

He walked outside of the chambers and met with Rias and the others. Yukari was leaned up against a tree, clearly not wanting to be bothered. "Onii-Sama, I...we..."

Sirzechs held up his hand. "I know what you want to ask Rias. I've know you were going to ask from the moment you arrived."

"Then...?" Rias said.

Sirzechs let out a sigh. "Well...I suppose there isn't a capable healer on the retrieval team. We could use a few, and the fighters that come with them. So, yes. I suppose you and your peerage can come with."

"What about me?" Sona asked. "My sister is out there somewhere. I want to know if she's alright. Satan or not."

"..." Sirzechs thought about it. "...Well...I will allow it, on one condition."

"Name it." Sona said.

"You stay by Grayfia and I at all times. Your father would have my head if something happened to you. It would be best to run this by your parents first anyway. Gather at the front of my castle first thing in the morning." Sirzechs said. Everyone nodded and split up. Sirzechs meanwhile approached Yukari. "Hey."

"Yeah?" Yukari said with her eyes closed.

"You feeling alright?" Sirzechs asked.

"Not really." Yukari sighed. "...I almost never snap like that...like I did."

"He was egging you on." Sirzechs said. "I'm certain anyone would snap after being reminded of the kind of things you went through."

"..." Yukari said nothing.

"Kenshin's going to be fine, just you wait." Sirzechs said. "You've seen him fight more than anyone. You know what he's capable of."

Yukari rolled her eyes at him. "Don't tell me you're going to start doting on him like you do with Rias."

"...I-I have no idea what you're talking about." Sirzechs said having the decency to look embarrassed.

"Uh huh..." Yukari said with a sarcastic snort. "And I'm just going to pretend the house doesn't get a present a day addressed to Rias from you." She pushed off the tree and walked away. She stopped for a moment. "...Thanks."

"Y-You're welcome." Sirzechs said. "...She saw right through me." He thought.

The next day, everyone was gathered in front of Sirzechs' castle. "So wait, you're saying two weeks might have passed for Kenshin and Serafall-Sama since they were taken?" Issei asked.

"Yes." Sirzechs said with a nod.

"Oh man. I should ask Ddraig for an update before we go." Issei said.

At the same time Azazel landed a short distance away, he was carrying someone with him. Hikari arched her brow. "Azazel, why do you have one of the Averruncus with you?"

"Because during another attack on the compound I was keeping them in, the male of this pair was taken." Azazel said as he set Sextum in front of him. "Besides, aside from Kenshin's peerage, it'd be nice to have another guide."

"You want to come as well?" Sirzechs asked. "Fine, just give me a sample of yours and the girl's magic." Sirzechs said.

"Right." Azazel said.

"Do you know who it was?" Miyuki asked.

"All I remember seeing was white armor." Sextum said. "We were asleep at the time."

"I'm guessing Vali took him. For what, I don't know." Azazel said.

"It sounds like he wants to to find Kenshin as well." Yukari said. "He just needs a way there, which Tertium can provide."

"Probably for different reasons than ours I'm sure." Azazel said.

"What do you want now partner?" Ddraig asked.

"A lot of time might have passed for Kenshin, can you give me an update?" Issei asked.

"Fine, hang on a second." Ddraig said.

"A lot of time?" Azazel said.

I've estimated that a week passes there for every day here." Sirzechs said. "That's why I've been trying to get approval so quickly."

"I see." Azazel said.

"Alright, I have your update." Ddraig said. "Kenshin's still OK."

"Ahh, that's good." Issei said as everyone except Sextum and Sona sighed in relief.

"Don't ask me for updates again. Something's blocking me from checking on him further." Ddraig said.

"That's fine, we should be able to find him from here." Rias said.

"Also, one of the last things I saw before I lost the ability to check in on him was the Leviathan, so she should be fine." Ddraig said.

Sona sighed in relief. "I see, that's good."

"Alright everyone get ready. I'm going to activate the spell now." Sirzechs said.

"Stay safe Kenshin, we're coming." Rias thought.

"I know how strong you are Onee-Sama, but still the fact that someone was able to take you on is disturbing." Sona thought.

"...Why do I feel like something terrible has happened?" Yukari thought.

A bright light overtook them and they all vanished.

(break)

Meanwhile.

One day earlier in the Underworld/ One week earlier in Mundus Magicus.

Kenshin walked out of the cabin holding a bouquet of flowers. He walked by Chachamaru and nodded toward her, closing his eyes and letting out a solemn sigh as he walked past her.

"Kenshin-Chan..." Kenshin opened his eyes and saw Serafall approaching him. "...I...I'm sorry, if I only got there sooner...I..."

Kenshin placed his hand on Serafall's shoulder. "It's OK...I'm the one who failed, not you. Her blood...is on my hands."

He walked by Serafall and toward the headstone near the cabin. "..." Kenshin stopped in front of it and knelt down. The ground in front of it was freshly dug up and refilled. "...Negi..." He said with a solemn gaze. "If only I had been here from the start...you wouldn't have..." He trailed off as a teardrop hit the ground. He left the bouquet on the headstone. He took out the staff on his back and stabbed it into a hole at the top of the headstone, a small barrier activated around the grave. "That should keep Hottan and his lackeys away from you." He said as he turned away from the headstone. Chachamaru walked up next to Serafall.

"What do we do now?" Serafall asked.

"...I have to assume that...Sirzechs is sending someone to come get you. If not flat out coming himself." Kenshin said, having to restrain a growl at the mention of Sirzechs' name. "So you should probably stay here with Chachamaru. How are you adjusting by the way...to the reincarnation."

"I am fine." Chachamaru said. "It's interesting, that my artifact transformed into one of these Sacred Gear objects you talked about. My body hasn't really changed."

"Well, I've found that if you already had wings, devil wings won't appear for you unless you just really want them to. Your jet boosters must already fulfill the need." Kenshin said. A couple of days prior, Kenshin decided to try and reincarnate Chachamaru, to see if it would give her a replenishing source of magic. It didn't, but her body adjusted better to his magic now. Before he couldn't fill her with his magic because his was too purely dark. He assumed that any devil with strong enough magic could fill her tanks. She took up three pawn pieces, but to him it was well worth it.

"Wait, if I stay here, what will you be doing?" Serafall asked.

"Before Negi died, Hottan told me that in order to get to him. I'd have to break his seal. By killing the Dragon of Truth, Jack Rakan and one other person who was already knocking on death's door...as well as Negi herself. The way I see it, I might as well start looking for them."

"That Thousand Blades guy? He was really strong, he withstood all my attacks like they were nothing." Serafall said with a concerned look.

"He must have activated his Kiai Bogyou beforehand." Kenshin said. "Rakan always was the hardiest mother fucker I've ever met. It's not really surprising that he was able to withstand your attacks...not to me anyway. He's a Wizard-type's worst enemy."

"You mean he can take on the Satans?" Serafall asked. "By the way, Kiai Bogyou? Willpower Defense?"

"I don't know. I think Sirzechs would have the best chance, but I don't know how powerful Rakan's defense is." Kenshin said. "But that said, he's not unbeatable. My main concern is the Dragon of Truth."

"That black masked guy?" Serafall asked.

"Yeah. It was strange, after Negi died and I snapped...I saw him collapse." Kenshin said.

"It was right after you...well..." Serafall said.

"Yes." Kenshin nodded knowing what she wanted to say. "Thank you for pulling me out of it...you saved my life."

"Of...Of course." Serafall nodded with a smile.

"Right. Chachamaru, you stay here as well. Serafall will be able to fill your tanks." Kenshin said. "I'll try to be back in a weeks time. If not sooner."

"You're going alone?" Serafall asked. "But, what if you are attacked again?"

"I'll handle it." Kenshin said.

"And if you...lose it one more time?" Serafall asked.

"...What are you trying to say? You want to come with me? What if someone comes looking for you to take you back home? Sona has got to be worried about you." Kenshin asked.

"She knows I'm fine, I didn't get to be Leviathan just for my charming good looks you know." Serafall said with a smile. "I'm the strongest female devil there is."

Kenshin stared for a moment before sighing to himself. "Chachamaru, can your supply last a week?"

"I will be fine." Chachamaru said.

"Alright, if you get low don't hesitate to get in contact, I'll summon you right to me." Kenshin said.

"Yes Kenshin-Sam-" Chachamaru was cut off.

"Don't address me with that suffix. I don't deserve it." Kenshin said. "If I don't find much to go on I'll be back in five days, a week at the most."

"Yes." Chachamaru said. "I'll mind things here."

"By the way. I never introduced myself. My name is Serafall Leviathan." Serafall said introducing herself to Chachamaru.

"Karakuri Chachamaru." Chachamaru bowed respectfully.

"Alright, come on let's get a move on." Kenshin said.

"Right. Stay safe Chachamaru-Chan." Serafall waved as she and Kenshin left the cabin.

"...She is an interesting one." Chachamaru said. She turned to the grave and stared at it. "...I'm sorry there wasn't more I could do for you...Negi-Sensei..." She said letting out a sigh.

Kenshin and Serafall walked along the forest path. "So where are we heading first?" Serafall asked.

"Well, I don't have that many supplies on me, most of my meat rations were consumed during that training trip before my Rating Game with Rias." Kenshin said. "We need to go stock up." He took out a pair of glasses and put them on after he grabbed Serafall's wrist. He let go and kept walking.

"What are those?" Serafall asked.

"Glasses that are supposed to hide ones identity. Out in the open they're fine, but most establishments have wards against these things and the bigger cities can see through them outright." Kenshin said. "So I have to ask you to go in and do the shopping when we get to the village we're heading toward."

"Leave it to me." Serafall said with a winking smile, a peace sign over her left eye.

Kenshin nodded and continued to walk. Serafall glanced at him, letting out a small sigh to herself. "No response..well given the circumstances, I guess I can't blame him." Serafall thought.

"...That was really cute, what you just did." Kenshin commented.

"?" Serafall glanced over at him. "Um, thanks." She said, caught off guard by the comment.

"Yup." Kenshin said.

The two entered a village. As they walked by Serafall heard whispers around them.

"Hey, doesn't that red haired guy kinda look like...well you know who?"

"Oh please, what would that murderous piece of shit be doing here? He's long gone. He disappeared months ago!"

"I know that, it's just without the glasses, the resemblance is uncanny isn't it?"

"Well he's not here. The world is well rid of that bastard. Good riddance, Kenshin Tsuki Kuroshi."

Serafall couldn't help growling. She was about to go tell them off when she felt Kenshin grabbing her wrist. She looked up at him only to see an impassive, nearly dead look in his eyes. He shook his head. He whispered to her. "It's not worth it."

"..." Serafall stared at him for a moment before nodding slowly. "Alright." She spoke softly. "If you say so."

They arrived at the village shop and Kenshin stood outside. "Go ahead." Kenshin said handing her a list.

"Right." Serafall went inside, as she was shopping, one of the male villagers approached Kenshin.

"Hey, has anyone ever told you that you look exactly like..."

"Yes, now fuck off." Kenshin said to him.

"You didn't even listen to who I was going to say." He said with a glare.

"You were going to ask me if anyone's ever told me if I look like Kenshin Kuroshi. I get the resemblance, but I ain't him and the comparisons are honestly getting annoying, now fuck off." Kenshin gruffly stated.

"Well, if you're so sure that you're not him. Take off those glasses." He said, his arms crossed.

"Piss off, you don't run this village." Kenshin said. "Now beat it."

"I don't think so!" He started to reach for Kenshin's glasses when Kenshin pointed a dagger at his throat. "!"

"Back..Off." Kenshin threatened.

"..." The man stepped back, but a child grabbed a rock and threw it at Kenshin's face. Kenshin dodged, but the momentum sent his glasses off his face and into his hand.

A collection of gasps were heard around him. Kenshin glanced around, everyone stared in stunned fear at him.

"It's him, oh god it's really him...!"

"Rikudou's Assassin has returned...!"

"Come on everyone, there's only one of him, we can take him down now!"

"Are you kidding? ! That man has killed stronger!"

Kenshin narrowed his eyes and hit them all with the Serene Conqueror. They all shirked back. "If you leave me be, I will not harm you am I clear?"

"..." Everyone stood back in fear as Kenshin crossed his arms and pocketing the glasses he was wearing.

Finally one of them spoke up. "Just hurry up and get out of our village!"

"Don't worry, I don't plan on staying long." Kenshin said as Serafall exited the shop with several bags in hand. Kenshin set his hands over them and absorbed them into his seals. "Come on."

The two starting walking when someone ran up behind them and broke a two by four over Kenshin's head. "Hey!" Serafall shouts.

"Serafall." Kenshin said. "Let's just keep moving."

"But-!" Serafall was cut off.

"Trust me, nothing you do will change these people's minds." Kenshin said.

"..." Serafall nodded and walked alongside Kenshin.

As they walked to leave the village. Kenshin heard whispers.

"He's back, he's really back..."

"Just keep quiet, maybe he'll keep to his word and just leave."

"Yeah, but what about that young woman with him. She seems to defend him."

"Probably just his whore."

"!" Kenshin shot over and gripped the throat of the man who said that, a pudgy, fat bald man. "Now you listen here...I couldn't give a fuck less about what you say or do to me, but you idiots better keep it limited to just me. She has done nothing to you...she doesn't deserve your ire...if anything bad is done to her I don't care what it is, you will face my wrath got it? !"

"Y-Yes!" He and everyone around him said.

"Good." Kenshin said letting him go. "Now get out of my sight."

The two continue walking out of the village when someone walked in their path. "..." Kenshin looked on as he saw a man wearing a business suit with black hair, styled oddly pointing up and at his sides in the front while the rest was like normal. "Ricardo."

"Kenshin." Ricardo nodded. "How have you been?"

"I've been better." Kenshin sighed.

"Walk with me, both of you." Ricardo said.

Kenshin and Serafall nodded and followed Ricardo away from the village. "Where have you been? Things have really gone to hell since you left."

"I heard." Kenshin said. "Hottan's on the cusp of winning isn't he?"

"Yes." Ricardo sighed. "Things were fine until Negi dropped off the face of the earth."

"She's gone." Kenshin said. "I saw her die with my own two eyes."

Ricardo nodded. "I see...she spoke fondly of you often...I take it you two were close?"

"Yeah." Kenshin said with a nod.

"I see." Ricardo said. "By the way, whose the cutie with you?"

"I'm Serafall Leviathan, but you can call me Levia-tan." Serafall said with a cute wink and smile.

"Hahaha, I see. You're a friend of Kenshin's I take it?" Ricardo asked.

"Yup, I'm his favorite magical girl." Serafall said donning one of her magical girl costumes.

Kenshin rolled his eyes. "Alright Ricardo, I know you didn't track me down just to ask me how I'm doing and introduce yourself to my friend, what is it?"

"What are you doing right now?" Ricardo said.

"I'm hunting. For Jack Rakan and the Dragon of Truth. After I've dealt with them I'm gonna put Hottan's head on a pike." Kenshin said with a scowl.

"I see...well I won't stop you, but the odds of you finding anything up north are unfavorable." Ricardo said.

"Up north? As in Hellas?" Kenshin asked.

"Yes. The Hellas Empire has fallen. Hottan and his goon squad whammied them all with that damn Rewrite spell of his." Ricardo said.

"I thought Negi's plan to make Mundus Magicus real by terraforming Mars counteracted that." Kenshin said.

"It hasn't gotten completely off the ground yet." Ricardo said. "I assume they'll come back if Hottan's defeated, or in time...but..."

"I know." Kenshin nodded. "I'll take care of Hottan."

"...Last time you tried to fight him, you died." Ricardo said in a low tone so Serafall wouldn't hear.

"Thanks for the reminder Ricardo." Kenshin said. "I've changed since then. Now if that's all, we'll be going."

"Alright, just be careful." Ricardo said.

"Yeah." Kenshin said.

(break)

A couple of days later.

Kenshin and Serafall were ascending the side of a mountain, trudging through snow. "Wh-Wh-Wh-What are we doing here? !" Serafall asked.

"Like I've said before we're looking for Rakan and the Dragon of Truth" Kenshin said.

"B-B-B-But it's freezing!" Serafall complained.

"You're an ice mage aren't you? You should be used to this." Kenshin said.

"Just because I'm an Ice mage doesn't mean I like being cold Kenshin-Chan!" Serafall whined.

"..." Kenshin stopped. Serafall bumped into him.

"What is it?" She asked.

"Get ready, and here." He said passing his jacket to her. "My body heat will be fine for now."

"Is someone coming?" Serafall asked.

"Something." Kenshin said. "This area should be great for you to use your magic in."

"Alright." Serafall said.

Suddenly demons began flying in at them. "Shit!" Kenshin said unsheathing his sword. "Be careful Serafall!" He said as he charged into the fray.

"Right!" Serafall said. "Honestly. These don't feel that strong, but it's nice to know he cares." She thought with a fond smile as she started picking off demons with blasts of ice magic.

Kenshin started cutting down demons at random. He looked back to see Serafall doing her own thing. He nodded with a small smile. "I probably shouldn't be so worried, she is a Satan after all, but you never know."

"So I hear you've been looking for me!" Kenshin looked up and saw Dragon overhead.

"Yeah, I have. You're one of the people I have to beat to get to Hottan!" Kenshin said.

"I see, I see." Dragon nodded. "Well, I apologize, but I have no time to fight you, so enjoy this instead!" He claps his hands together and the ground shakes beneath the snow.

"..." Kenshin's eyes widened with dread as he heard the snow shifting beneath his feet. Dragon disappeared as Kenshin started running toward Serafall, activating his Balance Breaker.

"What's wrong? !" Serafall asked.

"Avalanche!" Kenshin shouts. "Stay close!"

"R-Right!" Serafall said. Kenshin held his hands up as the rampaging snow engulfed them. When the avalanche finally ended Serafall looked around. "It's so dark..."

Kenshin snapped his fingers, a blaze igniting on his palm. He unsealed some firewood and set it on fire. Kenshin then took a dagger and threw it as hard as he could outside the dome of snow they were trapped in.

"Can't we just warp out?" Serafall asked.

"Right now I can't really identify a safe area." Kenshin said. "Other than maybe the cabin. I'll try getting a hold of Chachamaru." His communication circle appeared next to him. It stayed for a few minutes before canceling out. "Nothing, she must be sleeping to conserve her magic. Better saddle up for the night, we could be here awhile." Kenshin said, unsealing some of the supplies Serafall had bought.

"Do you want your jacket back?" Serafall asked.

"I'll live, you keep it and stay warm." Kenshin said as he took out a pot and began cooking. "It could be worse. We could be stuck in here without food."

"Right." Serafall said with a smile.

"Sorry, but I'm not much of a cook, hope you don't mind stew." Kenshin said.

Serafall giggled. "That's alright. I'm not that much of a cook either. Between my job as Satan and the T.V show I star in, I don't have much time to learn."

Silence reigned for a moment until Serafall broke it. "Kenshin-Chan...why do you let those people say those things about you?" She asked.

"...Well, it's not like it isn't true." Kenshin said with a sigh. "Most of what they said about me is the truth."

"But...back home you're always so nice, so caring and..." Serafall was cut off.

"I did what I did to survive." Kenshin said. "And if necessary, I will continue to do that."

"..." Serafall went silent.

"...You know. Being in your world...it was...surreal." Kenshin said.

"?" Serafall looked at his back curiously.

"...I felt like, for once...I'd be able to have a normal life." Kenshin said. "A life as a fighter, yeah, but a normal life none the less." Kenshin said. "But...it seems this world is my reality."

"...It doesn't have to be." Serafall said. "Sirzechs told me a bit about your past, you could stay in our world."

"..." Kenshin said nothing at first. "Maybe...who knows."

Serafall nodded. "Besides, what would Ria-tan think if you just up and left her? She'd be heartbroken."

"..." Kenshin said nothing as his stew started to boil. He took it off the fire, stirred it around before placing it back on.

Silence reigned as Kenshin finished cooking the stew and they ate. Serafall soon nodded off. She awoke several hours later. "...Kenshin-Chan?"

"..." Kenshin said nothing.

"..!" She gasped as she got a good look at him. His hair had frost developing on it. He was visibly shaking and his breathing was shaky. "..." She narrowed her eyes and took off Kenshin's jacket and draped it over Kenshin's shoulders before sitting on Kenshin's lap.

"...S-Serafall?" Kenshin said.

"If you were cold, you should have woke me up and told me so." Serafall said with a smile.

Kenshin narrowed his eyes and pumped youki into his jacket, making it grow bigger and surrounding both of them with it. Serafall shifted against him.

"There, doesn't that feel better?" Serafall asked.

"I guess." Kenshin said. "Listen. Chachamaru's on her way so you don't have to remain like this for long."

"That's OK. I like this." Serafall said. "It feels nice."

"...Hey Serafall, do you...like me or something?" Kenshin asked.

"Well why wouldn't I?" Serafall said. "You're a wonderful person, despite what you feel are flaws."

"...I-I see..." Kenshin said.

"I know what you really meant." Serafall said. "I am attracted to you as well." She said with a smile as she pecked him on the cheek.

"..." Kenshin said nothing, just wrapping his arms around Serafall's waist to help share warmth.

(Break)

Another couple of days later.

Kenshin and Serafall found by Chachamaru and dug out before teleporting back to the cabin. They spent the rest of that day and night and the next day resting.

Serafall walked around the cabin, looking around. "You know Chachamaru-Chan, you keep a nice home."

"Thank you Serafall-San." Chachamaru said.

"Mou...just call me Levia-tan." Serafall complained.

"Kenshin-San doesn't often call you that, neither will I." Chachamaru said.

"Where is Kenshin-Chan anyway?" Serafall asked.

"I believe he was going out to gather wood." Chachamaru said. "We've been running low."

"Oh." Serafall said. "Maybe I should go see if he's alright, he's probably tired."

Before she could exit the cabin, Kenshin came in holding a stack of split logs. "The rest are outside." He said throwing some into the fireplace. He stood there, staring at the fire for a moment as it built up before turning to Chachamaru and Serafall. "Chachamaru could you put some tea on?" He asked, pointing at the fireplace.

"Of course." Chachamaru said. He walked by her and she walked by him. Kenshin glanced at Serafall for a moment before shaking his head and walking into the bedroom.

Now normally Serafall wouldn't have been bothered by this...if it weren't the fifth time today Kenshin had done it. She walked into the room after him. "Kenshin-Chan, is everything is alright? Well...other than the obvious?"

"Huh?" Kenshin said. "Yeah, why wouldn't it be?"

"Well, you seem kind of uncomfortable around me." Serafall said. "Now...I know you've lost someone dear to you, but I'm not doing anything to make you feel uncomfortable am I? I'd like to be aware of it if I am."

"..." Kenshin rolled his eyes. "It's not you."

"Then what is it?" Serafall asked with a curious look.

Kenshin let out a long sigh. "Well...as embarrassed as I am to admit it. My heat cycle's come up."

"Oh..." Serafall said before it hit her. "Oh!"

"Yeeeaaahhh..." Kenshin said.

"I see..." Serafall said. "You can't just skip it can you?"

"Well I'm trying, but the thing is..most youkai can only handle skipping twelve cycles, or one full year." Kenshin said. "I've skipped three so far since coming here, not including the one I'm on. Before I came here I had skipped seven"

"What happens if you skip twelve?" Serafall asked.

"The compounded lust affects the youkai's personality until it's dealt with on the next cycle." Kenshin answered. "I have no idea how long we might be here, I don't know what the hell Sirzechs is doin' back home, but I need to be able to control myself if I'm going to fight Hottan and his allies."

"Oh...so you're hesitant to ask me." Serafall guessed.

"I know you said you would, but I always thought you were just teasing me." Kenshin said.

"Then there's the fact that you've lost that Negi girl, and there's also Ria-tan." Serafall said.

"Yeah." Kenshin said. "I think they'd understand though. Yeah, Rias would probably be upset, but in the end I think she'd get that I had to have it taken care of at some point and she just wasn't there."

"I'm sure she would, she might just be jealous of me for awhile." Serafall giggled.

"Yeah she would..." Kenshin said before he caught what she said. "Wait..what?"

"Ufufu..." Serafall giggled again. "I was just teasing you, but I was also being serious. If you really need the help and no one else is available. Then I'd have no problems giving you a hand with your problem." She said with a seductive gaze.

"..." Kenshin shivered under it.

"Just one question though." Serafall said. "Can't you just take care of it yourself?"

"I wish." Kenshin scoffed. "But my parents told me that during those times, a woman must be present. Even better if it's a female youkai."

"I see..." Serafall said. "Might I go and change into something?"

"Feel free." Kenshin said.

Serafall nodded with a smile and pursed her lips at him before getting up and leaving the room. Kenshin watched her leave before letting out a breath he didn't know he was holding. "Ooohhh man..." He said. "The first devil I'm going to have sex with and it turns out to be the Leviathan." He unsealed a bottle of water and took a drink. "I really hope I don't get too out of hand..." He said taking another drink.

Serafall meanwhile was hanging outside when Chachamaru said. "The tea is done and cooling on the counter. I'm going to go birdwatching."

"OK." Serafall nodded. "Enjoy yourself."

"Thank you." Chachamaru nodded and left.

Kenshin took another drink as he waited for Serafall. He turned as the door opened. What he saw made him drop the water bottle, spilling what he had in his mouth onto his chest.

"Ufufufufu, well that certainly is a first." Serafall giggled as she walked into the room wearing pink see through nightie. Kenshin's eyes scanned downward to find a matching thong and stripped pink and white stockings that reached to the middle of her thighs. However as alluring as all that was to him. What struck Kenshin the most was the fact that Serafall looked taller, before Serafall's height put her just above his chin but now she was nearly at eye level and her curves were more defined, shaping like a wide hourglass. The face and hair were still relatively the same, though the hair was longer to scale with the body and the facial features seemed finer, while retaining a cute, youthful charm.

All in all Serafall looked...older. She sauntered up to him. "What...happened to you?" Kenshin asked.

"You like it?" Serafall asked. "This is my sexy, older form. I don't necessarily have a true form, because that would imply that I prefer one over the other." She said with a smile.

"Well you're often in that other form you're so often in would be your true one." Kenshin commented.

"Yes, most of my outfits are geared toward that one, but...who says magical girls can't be sexy and not just cute hm?" Serafall said grazing her fingernails along Kenshin's cheek, sending shivers down his spine. "I have outfits geared toward this form too, would you like to see them sometime?"

Kenshin gulped inaudibly. "Damn she's good." He thought.

"Tell me, do you like this form or would you prefer the other one?" Serafall giggled. "I can indulge in your naughtier desires if you like. A great, horny beast, preying on a younger girl...something along those lines."

"This one's fine. If the need arises, we could..." Kenshin trailed off.

"Ufufu, alright then." Serafall said as her hands slid down his chest, fumbling with the buttons of his shirt. She let out a soft purring moan as Kenshin's hands went inside her nightie, moving slowly up her sides. Their lips met and she let out another moan. "Wow...his lips are so hot, a searing kiss...is this how it normally feels because of his body heat, or because he's actually in heat or both?" She thought. "Because if it's just the former then I'm starting to feel a little envious of Ria-tan!"

They parted for a moment. "You're supposed to be the more experienced here, yet you seem awfully flustered." Kenshin said, a small smile tugging at his lips. He winced in pain as Serafall stepped on his foot.

"You know, despite my teasing not only of you, but So-tan as well. I don't do this as often as you think. I'd go as far as to say you're more experienced than I am." Serafall pouted. "And the last time I did do it was quite awhile ago."

"I see." Kenshin said.

"Now...let's continue." Serafall said kissing him again. Kenshin opened his mouth allowing her easy access. Serafall pulled the rest of the buttons on his shirt apart and slid the shirt off his shoulders while their tongues pushed and danced around each other. They both latched their lips down and sucked gently on each others tongues and promptly let out moans. Serafall pulled away and licked her lips. "Has anyone ever told you how good you look without your shirt on?" She asked. "Some of these scars I could do without, but hey they tell a story." She said.

"Yeah." Kenshin said. "Well they don't exactly say anything, but I notice the stares."

"Ufufufu..." Serafall giggled and leaned over, flicking her tongue against his nipple.

"Hnn..." Kenshin grunted softly. "You know nothing's going to be gained from that, just like if I do it to you because you ain't pregnant."

"I know, but it feels nice doesn't it?" Serafall asked with a smile.

"A little bit." Kenshin said.

"Alright then, how about this?" Serafall said as she began sucking on it.

"Ghh..." Kenshin grunted again.

"Ufufufu..." Serafall giggled. Kenshin lifted his hand cupping her left inner thigh, stroking his hand up and down it. "Hnmm..." She lifted her head up to his neck and started nibbling at it. "Ohh...Kenshin, I don't know what it is...but my body feels really warm all the sudden."

"I see...I was afraid this might be the case..." Kenshin said as he moved his hand upward, cupping his hand over her thong clad nethers moving it up and down. "It seems given enough exposure, the youkai that's in heat could affect devils of the other gender, either that or you're just turned on."

"Hmmm.." Serafall moaned softly as she felt Kenshin teasing her. "I feel like that second one would be more likely, like I said when we were trapped in the snow...I do find you attractive." She said.

"Yeah..." Kenshin said, as he sunk his finger into a fissure through her thong.

"Hyan!" Serafall let out a soft cry. "Mm...if that's how you wanna play Kenshin-Chan. Ey!" She thrust her hand downward, cupping her hand over his groin, rubbing her hand against it, squeezing it gently.

"Hnn.." Kenshin held back a moan and pressed his fingers harder against the fabric of her thong. "You know, now that I've gotten a little further with you, I guess you are just turned on."

"Tehe...I guess I'm just not used to it hitting me all at once." Serafall giggled.

"I guess not." Kenshin said as his free hand moved up the front of her body, under her nightie, going slowly up her belly.

"Oohh...Kenshin-Chan don't tease me so much..." Serafall said.

"Coming from you, the queen of teasing?" Kenshin asked,

"Alright then." Serafall yanked down his pants and started pumping her hand up and down his shaft, twisting her hand around it gently.

"Haah..." Kenshin sighed contently as he reached up and groped Serafall's left breast.

"Mmn!" Serafall let out a hushed moan as Kenshin's hands massaged two of her most sensitive areas. She wrapped her free hand around him and fell onto the bed, taking him with her. She gripped his shaft tighter and stroked harder. "Inside...please..." She said with glossy eyes.

"..." Kenshin nodded and pressed his lips to hers, initiating a heated makeout session with her as he moved his hand inside her thong and started rubbing her raw pussy directly.

"Hyaaa!" Serafall let out another cry as she grabbed Kenshin's head, pushing it against her own as she tried to wrap her tongue around his while her fingers worked over Kenshin's ears.

"Mmnnn!" Kenshin moaned into her mouth as he finally slid a finger inside her, stabbing it in and out.

"Mmm!" Serafall moaned into him as they detached their lips. "Mm...you have a very satisfying kiss..." She noted with a smile as she slid downward and off the bed before pulling his pants off. "Now, this session is about you, now if you're feeling up to it we can get to me later." She said with a giggle as she spread his legs apart and licked her lips. "Not bad...not terribly long, and enough girth to spread a woman completely apart without causing too much pain. just enough for it to feel nice...you know in an erotic kind of way." She gripped it and began stroking again, bringing her head in to give it a long lick up the back.

"Haaahh..." Kenshin sighed.

"Tehe..." Serafall giggled as she moved her head forward and latched her lips onto the back of the head, sucking on it gently, prodding her tongue against the glans.

"Gh..." Kenshin grunted.

"Mm?" Serafall looked up. She took her lips off moved over the top. "You've been controlling yourself for quite awhile Kenshin-Chan...you're already leaking." She said.

"Hn...well I attribute at least half of that to the woman in front of me." Kenshin said.

"Ufufufu, I see, I see. Alright, you just leave everything to Levia-tan. OK?" She said with a cute wink before sticking her tongue out and licking his urethra, lapping up the precum.

"Ukk..." Kenshin bit back a moan.

"Hehe, you know that's a cute look you have on your face right now Kenshin-Chan." Serafall teased.

"..." Kenshin narrowed his eyes and shoved her mouth down onto his cock. "Eighty Six the teasing will ya?"

"For now." Serafall said as she continued to lick at his head. "Mmn, it's a slightly bitter and sweet taste...Nnmu..mmu,haa..." She moaned softly.

"Nnaah..." Kenshin kept his eyes on her as she looked up at him.

"Mm...Kenshin you're leaking quite a bit, is that your way of telling me I'm doing a good job." Serafall asked.

"Well, if you want to look at it that way then of course." Kenshin said.

"Well, it's good to know I'm doing things right." Serafall said, sliding her tongue across the slit.

"Hnn!" Kenshin bit back another moan.

"Mmhmhmhm..." Serafall giggled. "I guess it's time to move on." She said taking just the uppermost part of the tip into her mouth and sucking hard on it. "Nnmu..."

"Aaahh!" Kenshin let out a gasp.

"Does being in heat cause hypersensitivity?" Serafall wondered.

As if to answer her question Kenshin said. "It's not hypersensitivity, It's just rare that anyone focuses solely on the opening of the urethra. So you could say I'm weak there."

"Mmhm..." Serafall nodded. She brushed off the straps of her nightie, letting it pool around her waist as she brought her breasts around his cock and started stroking them up and down. "Mm..nnmu...mmu..mm."

"Ghh.." Kenshin groaned. "Fuck...she's damn good..." He thought.

Serafall shifted her breasts in alternating strokes, still sucking hard on the tip, prodding her tongue against it as she did. "Mm, mmu..mmkk, haa.."

"Fuck..." Kenshin groaned out. "If I didn't know any better I'd say you've been practicing for something like this." He said.

"Tehe...that good hm?" Serafall asked with a smile, giving him another cute wink. "Mm, aah...amph...you're shaking..."

"Well, I'm not exactly trying to hold myself back here." Kenshin said.

"Aah, I see." Serafall said as she squeezed her boobs together and went back to stroking them up and down with much more force than before. "Go ahead...mm, mm...haaa..." She moaned softly.

Kenshin saw that she was pushing against one of her boobs with her arm and not her hand and then heard a wet splashing sound. "She's masturbating?" He thought.

"Please..Kenshin-Chan, I want it..." Serafall said with a lustful pant.

"Ghh! Alright...!" Kenshin threw his head back and moaned, the momentum from his sudden movement shaking his cock free as it shot spurts of cum at Serafall's face.

"Kyaah? !" Serafall yelped as his seed spattered on her face and breasts.

"Haah...hahh...hahh..." Kenshin panted.

"Mooouuuu..." Serafall whined. "I was ready for it..."

"S-Sorry..." Kenshin said.

"Well don't just sit there, clean me up." Serafall ordered.

"..." Kenshin narrowed his eyes, wanting to try something as he took his index finger and traced it along her chest, scrapping up his ejaculate. When they were all clean he brought his index finger up to her face. She smiled in response, taking his hand and enclosing her lips around the base of the finger and licking it clean, making sure to go as tantalizing slow as possible, keeping her eyes locked on his. "Aaah? !" He gasped as he felt a miniscule amount of his power leave him.

She winked as she pulled her lips off his index finger, giving the tip of it a small kiss. "Sorry, I've just wondered for a while what your power tastes like. "Both it and your cum taste nice."

"I see..." Kenshin said.

Serafall shuffled around a bit. "Um...I know I'm supposed to be helping you, but...I don't wanna be lef-Mm..." Kenshin cut her off by pulling her up and kissing her on the lips. He laid her down on the bed. The two pulled away and Serafall smiled with a blush. "You just had me tasting your cum and that didn't stop you from kissing me?"

"Don't care, too turned on." Kenshin said leaning into the crook of her neck, kissing and nibbling at it.

"Mmn, Hehehe..." Serafall giggled. "Kenshin-Chan, you're quite affectionate, you know that?"

"Hmm." Kenshin reached up and started groping her right breast, pinching her areola with his index and middle fingers.

"Haan...mmn...Kenshin-Chan, that feels so good..." Serafall said letting out a blissful sigh.

"You know, this older form of yours, it's really quite enchanting." Kenshin said.

"Mmn, of course. When I'm in it I am considered one of, if not the most beautiful female devil in the Underworld." Serafall said. "And here you are, allowed to do what you want to it, how lucky." She finished with a coquettish look.

Kenshin shifted himself downward to her breasts licking her left nipple. "Well, I can't say I argue there."

"Aahn.." Serafall let out a sharp gasp feeling Kenshin's tongue flicking her nipple over and over again. "Mm.." She moaned loudly as Kenshin's hand squeezed her right breast.

"..." Kenshin latched his lips onto the digit he had been licking and started to suck on it. Meanwhile his hand drifted downward, into her thong. He rubbed her outer lips slowly and gently, that if she weren't currently moaning she would accuse him of teasing her.

"Aaahn!" Serafall gasped sharply again as Kenshin sunk his index finger inside her. "Mmu..."

"..." Kenshin felt the moist flesh of her vagina with a little more force than what was necessary. "She's...really wet. This thong is practically soaked." He thought.

"Yah...aah, ahh...mmu..mmah..." Serafall moaned, making Kenshin move back up so she could kiss him again. "Ohh...he's going too deep...!" She thought.

"You're...really tight." Kenshin said.

"Uhm well...that's what not having sex for awhile will do to a woman." Serafall said as she kissed him again, rubbing behind his ears while her other hand worked her thong off, she kicked it to the side with his clothes. Now all she really had on was her stockings "Ohh...he's making me feel so good. I just want to keep kissing him for it!" She thought.

Kenshin felt a bit confused as he continued to finger her pussy with a single finger. "Funny...has it really been that long? It's light, but she's shivering and writhing around..." He thought. He slipped his other arm under her waist and pulled her in closer."

"Mm?" Serafall moaned curiously as she felt his body against hers. "He is really affectionate when in heat. Gee, if I didn't know any better I'd say he was a female cat."

Kenshin heard her giggling into him and pulled his head away. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing." Serafall said. "...Kenshin-Chan...you're making me feel really good..."

"Well, if you're going to do the job, you might as well do it right or not at all." Kenshin said.

Serafall smiled. "...Ria-tan's going to be one happy woman when the honeymoon comes."

"..." Kenshin went silent and fingered her pussy harder.

"Haan!" Serafall cried out."Mmm, Kenshin-Chan...!"

Kenshin slid down her body some more, moving between her legs. "...Such a sweet scent..." He murmured. He gave her pussy a test lick before moving further. Kenshin kept licking her outer lips, savoring the taste of her juices.

"Aaahhhnn!" Serafall let out a loud moan. "Mmnn, Kenshin-Chan..your tongue..."

"You taste so good Levia-tan..." Kenshin murmured just loud enough for her to hear.

"Mmmnn! Kenshin-Chan, you're...so gentle." Serafall said.

"Well, I'm not trying to bully you...unless you'd like me to that is?" Kenshin asked with a sly grin.

"Mmn...no...maybe some other time...I'm enjoying this feeling way too much..." Serafall said with a content sigh.

"OK then..." Kenshin said continuing to lick her, inserting his index finger inside her once more.

"Kyau!" Serafall gasped. "K-Kenshin-Chan...n-not both at once...please..."

"Sorry, please just endure it for a little while." Kenshin said.

"Aah! Ah, ah! Yah! Oohh...you're churning me...inside...!" Serafall whined halfheartedly.

Kenshin kept poking and prodding inside her, despite her halfhearted protests. "Serafall..." Kenshin said. "Here..." He said grabbing hold of her legs and flipping them both around so Kenshin's head laid on the mattress while Serafall hovered over him, her dripping pussy just over his nose. "You're so wet, it's even soaking into your stockings." Kenshin noted. "Mm..." He began licking her again while his left hand reached up and started groping her right breast again.

"Aaahn...mm..mmu..kuu..mm, aah..fuu..." Serafall moaned, her hand in his hair, while the other clasped over his hand. "Mmm...ah, afu...mm, ohh..ah, aahh..." Whatever self control the Satan had left completely eroded as both her breast and pussy were attacked simultaneously. "Haaa, ah..aaann.. mmaaahh, aah!"

Kenshin had enough of just tasting samples, working his tongue into her honey pot, worming it around inside her.

Serafall's grip on his hair strengthened as she felt him working his tongue inside her. "Aahn..aku...hee, ah, aahh...n-no...aaahn! Your tongue's...inside! Aah! Aaahnn!" Serafall moaned loudly. "Aaah! I can't...hold them back any longer...it's...too good...aah!" Her back began to arch backward as she began to shake. "...aah! Mmn! Mmu...aaahn! I-I'm...I'm going to...ah...aaahh!"

Kenshin took his tongue out of her pussy and moved upward. He began to poke and prod his tongue against an engorged digit at the top of her nethers.

"Haaan? !" Serafall's eyes shot wide open looking down at Kenshin with clenched teeth, trying to endure the new pleasure she was now receiving. "N-No, please...not that...Mmmn!"

"Yes..." Kenshin said. "There." He said as her started fingering her again, while his lips latched onto the digit and started to suck hard on it.

"Mmmmmnn! !" Serafall bit back what she was sure would have been a soft scream otherwise. "Ooh...Ohhh...Kenshin-Chan! I-I'm gonna...I'm gonna!...Aaaaaahhhhh! !" She threw her head back, back arching as her body started to seize up, Kenshin let her fall onto him, her body sliding downward until she was sitting on his lap. When her orgasm finally ceased, she panted heavily. "...Haah...haahh...I-I thought you said you weren't gonna bully me...Kenshin-Chaaaannnn..." Serafall whined.

"I'm sorry, but you just tasted so good...and sounded so nice." Kenshin said

"..." Serafall grabbed his head and crushed her lips against his as she gestured them toward the bed. Kenshin nodded and helped move them onto the bed, laying her on her back. It was time to get to the main part. Kenshin figured he should do it while they made out, so he pointed his dick downward and rammed his way inside her.

"Mmmmmnnnnnn! !" Serafall let out a soft, muffled scream into him as they pulled apart. "Haaahh...haaahh...aaahn...ohhh..Kenshin-Chan, you're so...mmmnnn..." Serafall laid back and closed her eyes. "Go ahead."

Kenshin nodded. "Alright." He said "Ggghh...fuck you're so damn tight though..." He said as he looked down only to have his eyes widen in shock. Where he and Serafall were connected was blood, Kenshin knew that could only mean one thing. That he had just deflowered Serafall. "...You lied..." He said.

"..." Serafall looked down as well. "...Yeah...I talk a big game, but I've really got no more experience than my sister or your fiancee, What I do know is just from anime, manga, doujins and books, and as you know..I'm really playful."

"...Why didn't you tell me you were a virgin?" Kenshin asked.

"Would you have come to me if you knew? Would you have entered me with no hesitation?" Serafall asked with a smile.

"..." Kenshin shook his head. "Probably not."

"See?" Serafall giggled. "Don't worry, it didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would. The pain's already gone."

"I see..." Kenshin said. "Well...here goes..." He said pulling himself out and thrusting back in.

"Mm, ah...aaah!" Serafall gasped pleasurably as Kenshin's length left and entered her at a slow and deliberate pace. "Haaa...Kenshin..-Chan...oohh...I knew I was going to enjoy this..."

"Hnn...gghh..." Kenshin grunted. "Fuck..." He said with a sigh. "I just entered and I'm already being squeezed so damn tightly!" He thought.

"Ghh, aahhn...I-I'm being stabbed repeatedly with your burning lust spear..." Serafall gasped softly. "I...It feels amazing..."

"Heh, it's a shame I don't have any words to call this vice you're catching it with." Kenshin said with a grin, his right eye closed.

"Ufufufu." Serafall giggled. "It's a doorway that only responds to a certain key."

"So I'm just throwing burning lust spears through your magical doorway then?" Kenshin said.

"Hahahaha!" Serafall laughed. "No silly, the burning lust spear is the key! It sounds absurd I know, but..."

Kenshin leaned down and kissed her. "Eh...I get it for the most part."

Serafall grabbed him, holding him close as he started to increase the tempo of his thrusts. "Aah..au..kuu, haa..haan!"

"Gghh.." Kenshin grunted again, not only from the feeling of her squeezing him, but from her nails digging into his back.

"Ee...aah..haaa..aahn!" Serafall began moaning sweetly as she felt his cock rubbing each fold in her pussy over and over again. She pulled Kenshin's head next to hers. "Aah...aahahaha..Mmmn...you feel so good inside me, I'm shivering...aah..aaah..yaahhh...more...please Kenshin-Chan more...!"

Kenshin felt a shiver of his own, feeling her breath brushing against his ear. "Yeah...stopping is out of the question now." He said as he began thrusting harder and faster than before, fully eager for release.

"Mm, aah, haa...aan, aah, ah, mmg!" That still wasn't enough for Serafall as she writhed around under him. "Harder! Mmmn! It's like you're just teasing me!" She ordered.

"..." Kenshin was a bit surprised at her outburst, but did as he was asked, picking up the intensity of his thrusts once more. He pushed himself up and grabbed her legs for leverage.

"Haa, haaaa...haaa! Haaa! Uku, aah, aaah!" Serafall moaned loudly, her breasts bouncing in rhythm with his movements.

"...Well, it's a good thing Issei isn't here, he'd never shut up about this sight..." Kenshin mused.

"Mmm! Ohhh! Kenshin-Chan it feels like you're getting hotter and hotter!" Serafall said, her back beginning to arch.

In Kenshin's mind Gnome glanced at Salamander who was whistling innocently with her hands behind her back. Gnome got her attention and pointed at her before making a stroking motion toward her pelvis. "It's just a light application of fire magic around his manhood, I'm just having a little fun." Salamander said with a laugh. Gnome shook her head for a moment before waving her off, as if to say 'Carry on.'

Kenshin's mind was blanked out at this point, his only objective being sate his lust. "Aah! Ayy, I-I'm going to...yaah! Ah, ah, Ahaaa!" Serafall moaned.

"Gghh..." Kenshin grunted as he pistoned in and out of her. "That's...it!" He said as he felt the need for release swelling up inside him.

"Ahh, mm, aaah, fuuaah, au, haaa, mmkkku!" Serafall screwed her eyes shut, knowing what was to come. "Ahh, aaah, mmkku, aahh! ah...aaaahhhhh! !" She let out as her body began to seize up once more.

"Ghh? !" Kenshin felt himself being shoved out as he was about to thrust in again. "Ghhh! !" Kenshin grunted loudly as he sprayed his cum all over Serafall's belly and chest. "Haaa...haaa...haa...haaa..." Kenshin panted.

"..." Serafall sat up and looked at the mess Kenshin had made on her chest and belly. She smiled and leaned forward, going on her hands and knees and kissing him softly while her hands slid her nightie down her legs. She pulled away and glanced down. "You're still ready to go I see..." She said, seeing his cock was still rock hard.

"Well, it's different for every demon, but I think for me...if I cum once, that's a heat cycle I skipped wiped off the board. So right now I'm down to nine, counting the one I'm on."

Serafall giggled nervously. "Tehe..s-sorry Kenshin-Chan, but I don't think I can last another nine orgasms." She said with a shy smile. "You're just too much for me."

"Hahaha, that's fine. This should be more than enough." Kenshin said. "Thank you..."

"Now hold on..." Serafall said. "I said I probably couldn't last another nine...I never said I couldn't last another one." She said with a seductive smile as she pulled Kenshin onto his knees.

"..." Kenshin watched as Serafall took out her hair ties and set them to the side. "...Wow...you look so nice with your hair down."

Serafall giggled in response. "I was meaning to take those out right from the start, but I guess I got too excited. Hehe...alright then, I'll take the initiative this time."

"Hnn.." Kenshin bit back a moan as Serafall turned herself around, and started rubbing her ass against his groin. "Heheheh...I'm supposed to be the insatiable Lust Dragon here, but...it seems the darling Levia-tan is quite insatiable herself." Kenshin said with a weary chuckle.

"Mmhmm..." Serafall said, her voice mixed with a moan. "Just looking to live out some of the things I've read is all...Mm..."

"Well then, live till your heart's content, I've got the energy." Kenshin said. "Especially with my heart all fixed up." He thought.

"Whenever you're ready...and...this time..." Serafall glanced away with a blush. "T..Try to stay inside me throughout, OK?"

"..." Kenshin stared at him, surprised for a moment before he closed his eyes. "Alright.." He said as he placed his hands on her hips and positioned himself. "But...I won't hold back, not this time."

"That's fine." Serafall said with a nod. "Truthfully, if you held back now, I'd begin to wonder if you really had been enjoying yourself this whole time."

"..." Kenshin smiled as he pressed his cock inside, feeling it slip inside easily. "With a woman like you? How could I not enjoy myself?"

"Aahhn!" Serafall let out a loud moan.

"Ggh..the angle's all different, but it's still the same tightness from before." Kenshin grunted.

"O-Of course...haa...haaa." Serafall panted. "Something like that isn't bound to change either..."

"Right." Kenshin nodded as he picked up the pace almost immediately.

"Haaa! Agu, mm, aaah..aah...mmg, mmku!" Serafall moaned as her body rocked back and forth from the force of Kenshin's thrusts.

Kenshin could feel it, they were both still sensitive from their previous orgasms. "This isn't gonna last very long." Kenshin thought.

"Aaahn! Mmmnn! Ohhhh, it feels amazing!" Serafall said.

Kenshin lifted her left leg up, making the angle of his thrusts change slightly. Serafall looked over and saw a mirror against the wall, with their current actions being displayed on it. "Waaaa! Uhhn! T-The other way, looking at myself having sex in the mirror is embarrassing!" She whined.

"Hahahaha, I know, it's great isn't it?" Kenshin asked as he increased the pace of his thrusts further. "Being able to see our bodies rocking in unison, the fact that you're actively meeting my thrusts with your own."

"Moooouuu!" Serafall pouted. "K-Kenshin-Chan, you're being mean!"

"Heheheheh, you like this and you know it." Kenshin said with a small smirk.

"..." Serafall went silent for a moment before she forced herself up and grabbed Kenshin's head, sliding her tongue past his lips. Kenshin responded in turn, accepting her invitation to make out with her, he moved one of his hands to her side, just under her right breast to help hold her up. She pulled away for a moment. "You're right...this is amazing...I do like it...does that make me a naughty girl?"

"For the moment, yes. Permanently? No." Kenshin said.

Serafall smiled. "OK then...I can live with that..." With that said, she went back to making out with him.

"Mmpph..." Kenshin felt her tightening up on his cock again, along with the need for release swelling once more. "Well here goes...!" Kenshin thought.

"Mmph! Mmmn! Mmn...!" Serafall moaned loudly into him. Then, she felt something hot shot into her as Kenshin buried himself to the base inside her. "Mmmmmm! !"

"Ggh...ggh..." Kenshin grunted as their lips came apart.

"Aaah...aaahh...aaahh..." Serafall's panting was mixed with moans as she fell forward, laying face down on the bed.

Kenshin collapsed next to her, completely and thoroughly exhausted. "That's it...I can't take anymore..."

Serafall wearily moved over to him, laying her back against his chest. "Oh...well a certain part of you disagrees." Serafall said with a tired giggle.

"...Heh, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weary." Kenshin said with a tired chuckle.

"Indeed..." Serafall said. "...Um..Kenshin-Chan?"

"What is it?" Kenshin asked.

"Devil birthrates are low." Serafall said. "That being the case...if...I got pregnant with your child..." She trailed off.

"I would have to wouldn't I?" Kenshin asked.

"Not necessarily. I have the resources to raise a child myself if you wanted to continue fighting on the front lines, or doing what you've always done..." Serafall said.

"...Still, a child needs two parents." Kenshin said. "And...I'd want to be able to be there for it."

"..." Serafall nodded. "OK, thank you for answering that for me."

"No problem...zzzz..zzzz...zzzzzz..zzzzz..." Kenshin was out in a matter of seconds.

"..." Serafall smiled as she snuggled up against him. "...Oh Kenshin-Chan...if you say things like that..I.." Her thoughts left her as sleep finally took her as well.

(break)

The next day.

Kenshin awoke and looked at his watch. "The afternoon...damn...I almost never sleep this late." He thought.

He saw that he had been dressed and there was a note on the end table for him. It read.

Good Morning Kenshin-Chan~!

Or would it be afternoon? With how deeply you were sleeping I think it might be the latter. Eh, I'm writing this in the afternoon so we'll go with that.

Your darling Levia-tan went out for a walk. Chachamaru-Chan said she needed to do something so I volunteered to do it as well. I'll be back soon OK?

Serafall Levia-tan.

Kenshin rolled his eyes at the cute sign off at the end and chuckled. "Alright then..." He got up and exited the room. Chachamaru was walking around tidying up. "How are you feeling? Need a recharge?"

"I am fine Kenshin-San." Chachamaru answered neutrally. "No, my next recharge shouldn't be for another week."

"Any updates on where Rakan and the Dragon of Truth are?" Kenshin asked.

"Not yet, but I'm getting close, I've got locks on where they've both been recently, as long as I know that. I can trace them." Chachamaru said. "I just need time."

"Alright, no real rush. Take your time." Kenshin said. Chachamaru nodded. Kenshin left the cabin and walked out to Negi's grave and sat down in front of it. "I've gotten close to finding them, I know you're watching over me, but when the time comes...I want you to look away." He said. "...Also, I hope you'll understand about last night. I don't regret doing it, but I think I'd rather have done it in a different place."

A breeze blew through his hair and he could swear he heard Negi's voice saying. "It's alright, you needed to have it done."

"!" Kenshin looked around. "Sylph...was that you?"

"No, it was the wind." Sylph said. "The voices of the wind can be any number of things. The pure voice of the wind itself, wanting to play...or it could the voices of the dearly departed, trying to talk to the one that means the most to them."

Kenshin nodded. "I see..." He got up and went to go back into the cabin when he sensed something. "!" He looked out toward the west of the house. He sensed Serafall in that direction, surrounded by four presences while a fifth looked on. It felt eerily familiar to him. "...No..." He thought.

He turned to the cabin. "Chachamaru, I'm going out for a bit to see what Serafall's up to! Keep me posted!" He said as he took off.

Chachamaru nodded, having heard him and went back to her searching.

Kenshin dashed through the woods. "No...this can't be real! That's an old Rikudou tactic! They might not be as strong as Serafall, but if they can figure out how to neutralize her she's finished!"

He came out to a field. There were five cloaked men. The tallest of which had and unconscious Serafall slung over his shoulder. "Alright men, we have this woman, she has great power...she'd be a real threat if she weren't so overconfident." He said.

"STOP!" Kenshin shouts.

"?" The five turned to him. "Aaah...Kenshin..it's been awhile." The shortest of them said stepping forward. He took down his hood revealing short brown hair, angular facial features and green eyes with glasses over them.

"...Vesper." Kenshin said. "How are you back...and are the other four?"

"Yes." Vesper said. The rest take down their hoods. One had short black hair and deeply tanned skin. He had dark brown eyes. He grinned at Kenshin.

"Yo man, your magic signature feels darker than before!"

"Remember what he said to us Daniel. He's become like this woman here." Said the tallest member, who was also the eldest. He had short graying hair with a short beard to go with it. His eyes were green.

"Yeah Yeah, I know Rantou." Daniel said. "What do you think Scott?"

"So, you've become a devil huh Kenshin?" Scott, a humanoid water dragon said. He had no hair and light blue scales, and matching eyes. "What do you think Sin? Should we take him."

Sin, a man with short dark blue hair with the same color eyes took his hand off his head. "Nah, he has plans for Kenshin. Ever since the girl Yukari-Chan picked went and bit it."

"Who?" Kenshin said.

"Who do you think?" Vesper asked. "The man running things in this world now. Hottan."

"Krhh!" Kenshin growled. "I saw Sin and Rantou get blown literally away! How was he able to make homunculus bodies of them then? !"

"We have DNA samples on all members. In a previous attack before all of us except you died, it was stolen." Vesper said. "Those thieves were flying under Hottan's banner. Come on everyone."

"I don't think so!" Kenshin said. Rantou appeared in front of him. "!" "Bala-"

"Breaker Fist!" Rantou said ramming his fist into Kenshin's stomach before he could invoke his Balance Breaker.

"Guuuhh? !" Kenshin's body went slack, falling to his knees. He glared weakly. "How...were you able to beat her? She's stronger than I am..."

"That may be, but we masked our power and she grew over confident, from there it was a simple matter of using my Breaker ability." Rantou said. "We'll see you soon Kenshin." He said dropping his hand on the back of his neck.

Kenshin fell forward, darkness overtaking him.

(break)

That night.

Kenshin awoke back in the cabin. Chachamaru was sitting next to him going over a map in her hands. "I'm back here?"

"Yes. You never came back so I started to get worried." Chachamaru said.

"I see..." Kenshin said.

"What happened to Miss Serafall?" Chachamaru asked.

"...The Rikudou Organization got her." Kenshin said.

"Ah, those men again." Chachamaru said with a nod. "They were a great trouble when we were fighting the Cosmo Entelecheia."

"Why didn't Yukari ever tell me that Hottan revived them too?" Kenshin asked himself.

"Because she never knew. She just thought someone was flying their banner." Chachamaru said. "They never showed their faces before and rarely engaged her in combat."

"That makes sense..." Kenshin said. He got out of bed.

"Don't you think you should rest more?" Chachamaru asked.

"I'm fine. I heal quickly." Kenshin said. "Are you any closer to finding Rakan and the Dragon of Truth?"

"Not yet. I'm going to need another day." Chachamaru said.

"Alright, keep me posted." Kenshin said. "I'm going out to find where they took Serafall."

"Yes. Good luck Kenshin-San." Chachamaru nodded.

Kenshin nodded back and left the cabin. "I have to find her before Hottan gets his hands on her...if he does...it could be disastrous." He thought.
