Chapter 29: The Show Must Go On
Third's Person POV
Inside Sirzechs Lucifer's office, the red-haired devil looking through the reports that have been given by his sisters. Sirzechs pulled out the glasses off his face and putting it down on the table. He gave out an exasperated sigh.
"You're saying that the 'supposedly' extinct Valefor clan...have a living heir?" Sirzechs asked, looking towards his sister.
"That is correct," Seris nodded her head, giving him another pile of papers. "That's not all...it seems that there's a third party that involved with Bartholomew Valefor runaway. I suspect that it's probably an ally of his. We don't know who...but the emblem on the magic circles indicates that it's another one of extinct clans."
"That emblem that has been sketched by Rias?"
"Yes,"
"Which one?"
"...Eligos..."
Sirzechs looked back at the papers once more. "So, the Duke of Thief and possibly the Duke of Demonic Knights working together?"
"Should we cancel the conference, brother?" Seris inquires, feeling worried about the current situation.
"No," Sirzechs quickly denied her. "We continue the conference. We cannot let these problems be the reasons for a potential war."
"But it's going towards that direction though..." Seris looks away, sweatdropping a bit. "Other than that, these groups don't have any correlation nor significance with the Khaos Brigade or the Old Maoh at all."
"So, these two extinct clans were a part of a newer group and isn't affiliated with any of them? And judging by their decision...they decides to target (Y/N) Hyoudou?" Sirzechs asked the red-haired woman in glasses.
"Yes...we don't know the true motive of the attack but it possibly related to Rias' engagement..."
Sirzechs put down the papers on the table before looking at his sister. "No...there's more to it...possibly vengeance. Any other information?"
"During the raid, they defeated four of his henchmen while arrested two of their swordsman. The rest escaped of them had escaped with their master through outside intervention. It possible that they left the swordsmen, thinking that they were dead."
"How's the group?"
"...All of them survived with minor injuries...except..."
"Except?"
Seris' expression changed as she looked down to the floor. "...Bill Cipher is...dead..."
Sirzechs' eyes widened like plate. He stared at his sister, confused and terrified by the statement that has been given to him. He took a couple of minutes to calm down as he tried to process the information in his head. He took a quick breath before exhaling, regaining back his composure. He looked at Seris with a serious expression on his face.
"How's the current condition of (Y/N) Hyoudou?" He asked.
"...For now...he is..."
[Kuoh Academy]
"Have you heard about the rumour that we potentially get a new transfer for our school?" Matsuda chimed in as huddled up with the usual Pervert Trio. "I heard she really a cute blonde~"
"Really, where did you heard that?!" Issei shouted happily, earning himself a big grin on his face, trying to imagine how cute the hot girl is.
"Well, it took my delicate pair of ears to hear the student council members talking about this transfer!" Motohama smirked as he pushed the glasses towards his eyes.
"Wait, you went peeking without me?!"
"Those delicate bodies don't wait for no one, Issei!"
"Can you perverted idiots pipes down?" Aika walks nearby, crossing her arms. "Geez, talking about a girl who hasn't even appeared in this classroom. You guys are really are desperate for some pussy,"
"Beat it Kiryuu!" Matsuda yelled at the brown-haired woman. "You aren't important to our gentlemen discussion!"
"The only gentleman in the room is the one who keeps sulking over there,"
Everyone in the class turned their head towards a tired, messy and sad-looking twin of Issei, leaning onto his arm while looking towards the table. His hair was unkempt and dark circles can be seen under his eyes, indicating that he probably lack sick.
"You know, I'm quite worried about his behaviour lately. It's been days since he reacted to your guys' shenanigans or even open up his mouth," Aika sighed before looking at Issei. "Oi, Hyoudou, what did you do to your brother that makes him behave like this?"
"Me?!" Issei was about to retort until he remembered about the day back at the fortress. His expression becomes slightly dull as he looked back at his brother, acknowledging his pain and showing sympathy towards him. "...he's been through a rough time...it's better if we give him space,"
"..." Aika judged her brown-haired haired and saw a genuine and sincere attitude coming out from Issei. She let out another sigh before walking away. "Whatever. Just don't let it go too long. We don't want him acting something irrational,"
"I got it..."
The younger Hyoudou sighed as he looked back at his own brother. It's been days since the rescue mission of (Y/N) Hyoudou...unfortunately, not everyone left with a smile on their faces...No, everyone left with a bitter victory. They lost someone. Someone they knew, someone they cared...Someone who is important to a certain Dream Demon...
Issei was standing in the classroom silently. He wasn't sure on what to do. He wanted to give some spaces for his brother after losing Bill. He understand the fear and sorrows of losing someone, especially his own brother. But on another hand, he wants to confront his brother for his behaviour, since it something that deteriorating (Y/N)'s mind in a very bad way.
[Timeskip]
After the class was over, Issei and the rest of the gang made their way towards the ORC Clubroom, silently as the pondering about the wellbeing of their friend. As they opened the door to the clubroom, revealing that the rest of the Gremory and Cipher's peerage were in the room with Sona, Tsubaki and Saji as well.
"Ah, Sitri-san is here?" Issei pondered as he entered the room. "Where's Azazel-sensei?"
"He got some business to attend to," Rias answered the question as she stood up from the chair and made her way towards Issei followed by Sona. "Is (Y/N) doing a medical check-up with my sister?"
"Yes. Mikan make sure he attend those therapy session,"
"That is reassuring..."
"But we can't just keep sending him to therapy session, Rias..." Sona called out, earning their attention. "We need to confront him about this situation."
"I know, but aren't you trying to be a bit too hasty?" Rias inquires.
"We can't just let him be like that for the rest of the year, Rias. I know that wounds heals...but it's hurt to see him act that way...that is not how he usually acts."
"I understand what you are saying, but he is emotionally unstable. We don't know what he will do in the heat of moment...We should give him some sp-"
"For how long Rias?"
The red-haired girl began to silence himself as she looked away, unable to answer the question from her best friend. The silence creates an air of awkwardness between the people in the room as they sat there uncomfortable, watching their friends argued with each other. They were interrupted by the sound of the wooden door being opened, directing their attention towards the newcomer.
"(N/N)," Asia called out as the older Hyoudou looked towards the room with stoic expression on his face. His body let out an aura filled with despair and sorrow. Everyone nearby felt the negativity as some of them looked away from the tired and saddened male as he walks inside the room.
Rias took the initiative to walk towards the male and began to call him out, "(Y/N), how are you feeling?"
...
...
...
No answer was given. (Y/N) walked past Rias, shocking her in track as he slowly makes his way towards the couch before stopping in front of the Student Council President. They both shared the cold glare as their eyes met. Anyone nearby can feel the intensity given by both of the young devils as they stare at each other.
"(Y/N)...I think it's time we talk about the little problem of yours...it's have been in everyone mind..." Sona said, standing her ground.
(Y/N) only staring at one of his lovers, feeling slightly annoyed yet uncomfortable with the situation. He appeared to be indecisive. Issei can see it in his face, appeared to be pondering on the next move. The (H/C)-haired boy choose to ignore her as he attempts to walk away but was stopped when Sona stood in front of him once more.
"(Y/N), please..." Sona called out once more, showing concerned expression on her place. "Stop acting like this.
"I'm sorry...but you don't understand how I'm feeling right now..." For the first time, (Y/N) spoke with a very depressing tone. "Now...will you politely move aside-"
"I want to understand how you felt! WE WANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FELT...if only you let us...so please...it's hurt to see you behave like this...you used to be a cheerful person..."
"I agree with Sona," Akeno chimed in as she moves closer towards them. "We understand your feelings. Some of us even dealt with the same problem before...so please, let us be by your side-"
"Enough!" He shouted in anger as dark energy comes out from him, pushing two girls away slightly, causing them to lose balance but was caught by both Tyrion and Yusuke. "I don't care how pathetic I'm looking like now...but I suggest you stay away from me...I know it's irrational...but it's the only way I have to deal with my-"
Issei had enough as walks toward his twin and grabbed him by sleeves of his outfit before dragging the male out of the room. The rest felt a slight tension created between both twins as they all quickly followed behind.
Upon reaching the exit, Issei pushed the door as he released the grips by throwing (Y/N) away. The skies were covered by dark clouds, creating an uneasy atmosphere for both brother. "What the hell are you planning, Is-"
Everyone else made their way towards the exit of the old school building, anxious with sudden moves by Issei. Rias leading the groups, feeling concerned about both of her closest friend and lover. She opened the door to the exit, only to be greeted by Issei Hyoudou, with a Boosted Gear readied, punching (Y/N) Hyoudou in the face. Rias let out a gasped followed, extremely shocked. She saw them fight before but it was a brotherly fight. But after looking at Issei's expression, she knew that things has gotten personally between the brothers.
Issei's expression shows anger...different kind of anger. The unusual kind of anger that was directed towards (Y/N) as if they were not siblings. He was extremely furious, gripping onto his fist tightly as he sent his brother flying to the nearest tree, breaking it in half.
"Holy shi-" Tyrion was cut out by a powerful winds being blown from an impact in the middle of the field. (Y/N) appeared out of nowhere, colliding his fist in the middle. His left eyes was burning in red, as they began to trade blows with each other. Each hit became faster as if they are planning to kill each other with each and every blows given.
Issei got under the flurry of punches made by (Y/N) as the both of the brothers' eyes met. He then goes for a quick uppercut which the Dream Demon barely dodged. Issei followed up with a straight kick to the chest, sending his skidding a bit as the brown-haired boy rushed forward for another punch.
(Y/N) blocked the attack but was caught off guard when his brother solid headbutt to the head, staggering him for a while as Issei continue to hit him with a flurry of punches. This forced (Y/N) to let his guards up, trying to lessen the amount of damage given by his brother. The Dream Demon have no choice but to summon his chains to grabs Issei's by his arms and dragged him away.
(Y/N) took the opportunity to rush by grabbing Issei's head and delivers a knee to the face. He followed up a headbutt and powerful uppercut, sending his twin brother flying up in the air, thus breaking the chains.
"...They both are out of control," Xenovia observed, currently flabbergasted by the fight.
"This is bad!" Rias looked at them, feeling more and more concerned with every hit given by each other. "Both of them just fully recovered from that day but they already going overboard with this fight!"
(Y/N) summons more chains as it wrapped itself on his arms as he prepared to slam it downward, towards the laying Red Emperor Dragon. His twin saw and quickly rolled away from the chains, as it created multiples to ground. He quickly grabs the chains before started to swing him around the field as fast as he could with his strength.
Without hesitation, (Y/N) reels him in, shortening the length of the chains as he began to get closer to Issei. He was greeted with a red gauntlet aiming towards his face, already finished charging his next attack.
"Shit-" The Dream Demon muttered before being cut off by a point-blank Dragon Shot creating a mild yet powerful explosion in the field.
Yuki gasped, putting her hand in front of her mouth. "My god, this is getting out of hand!"
"(Y/N)!" Rias and Sona called out as they got more concerned about the older Hyoudou.
"Both of them are really with the intent of beating each other into submission. It's too late to stop them anyway since they started to use their ability." Yusuke feeling hesitated to stop the brawl between the brothers.
The smoke clears away as (Y/N) manage to tank the blow by creating a barrier in front of him. He panted, tired from the fighting as his clothes already have slight tears on it. He didn't have a chance for a breather as his twin appeared behind him, putting his arms around his waist before attempting a German Suplex. Fortunately, the Dream Demon got out from grip as it was weak in the first place and landed safely on his food. Issei turned his head around, only to meet with (Y/N)'s foot to the face as he was kicked away without any remorse.
"Alright, this is getting out of hand," Kiba gritted his teeth as he turned towards the other. "Someone needs to stop them!"
"Way ahead of you!" Kokichi bravely rushed in towards the boys as the rest were sceptical about his ideas of 'stopping them'. And by stopping them, the little Ink Demon goes for a kick only to grab the leg by Issei and was used as a bat, using the momentum created by purple-haired man. It didn't work as (Y/N) jumped over the young devil weapon and goes for another chain whip, which wrapped around the younger Hyoudou's gauntlet. Issei throw Kokichi aside, injuring the poor devil as he kept on playing tug of war with his twin.
"Well, Kokichi doesn't stand a chance, who's next?"
"Nah, I'm fine..." Yusuke declined.
"Look, I'm maybe a Rook but I'm not that stupid to barge into family matter..." Tyrion shook his head, denying to ever intervene the brawl. The Lightning Rook made his way towards the middle just to retrieve Kokichi.
"How bout you Saji, you've been silence since you arrived in the clubroom," Kiba turned his head to the only male from the Student Council.
"Huh? No...I would definitely not going into that like that brat!" Saji shivered in fear.
It's been an hour into the fight as the day become darker accompanied by a clap of thunder, indicating that it's going to rain any seconds. The tug of continues as both of them held on the chains tightly. The final tugs from them caused it to break in pieces as. (Y/N) sends out multiple chains towards Issei who tears it into pieces without a sweat before going for another solid punch to the face. (Y/N) received the punch as he was sent to the flying.
"Incredible, they continue to fight even after a slight intervention. They also shrugged it off by throwing them away to side while keeping their attention to each other." Yusuke commented.
"Yup...Dragon boy can throw..." Kokichi winced in pain, being healed by his sister. "Also, it's not the right time to get fascinated by them fighting!"
"The only thing we can do is wait for them to reconcile..."
"Oi, don't ignore me!"
Issei goes for a leg sweep but (Y/N) jumps over it and swings his right leg forward, kicking Issei in the face, launching Issei up in the air, followed by chains grabs onto his left leg before forcefully pulled towards his twin. Without hesitation, Issei aimed his gauntlet towards (Y/N), charging up for an attack and goes for a point black Dragon Shot.
"You can't fool me twice," (Y/N) prepared another barrier. Unfortunately, he didn't expect Issei to slides between his legs, pulling the chains with him, flipping the Dream Demon forward and as he landed onto his back. Wincing in pain, he opened his eyes and saw a red gauntlet aiming at him. Letting out a sigh of defeat, Issei launched another Dragon Shot towards his downed opponent.
The ball of draconic energy blows up, creating a small explosion that covered both of them in a large smoke as everyone covered their eyes from the debris with arms. Rias' eyes widened, looking at the destruction in horror. As the smokes slowly to fade away, one figure has been seen standing tall, as they looked towards their opponent on the ground. The smokes clear out revealing a tired Issei Hyoudou, aiming his gauntlet at his own brother.
(Y/N) panted, as he looked at his side and a saw a large hole being carved nearby. "Why?"
"...Why?" Issei dropped down to his knees before punching him to the face with the gauntlet. "I tell you why...I'm sickened by your attitude!"
He punched again.
"I'm sickened by the way you treated everyone that cares about you!"
And again.
"I'm sickened by your stupid reason for dragging yourself down!"
And again.
"I'M SICKENED THAT YOU IGNORED EVERYTHING THAT YOU LIVED FOR! NOW YOU TELL ME?! NOW YOU TELL ME, WHY YOU ACTED LIKE A BASTARD YOU ARE NOW?!"
...
...
...
Drip.
A single drop of water fallen down to (Y/N)'s face. He thought that it had started raining...but no...he actually facing a crying Issei Hyoudou...staring at him...full of sorrow and disappointment.
"...Bill...is like a family to me..." The (H/C)-haired boy answered weakly, angering him more as he began to tighten the grips of his fist, preparing for another punch.
"Than what am I to you?" Issei inquires. "WHAT ARE WE TOO YOU, (Y/N) HYOUDOU?!"
"..." (Y/N) didn't know how to answer the question. More and more droplet of water fallen down his face as it's started to rain.
"ANSWER ME!"
BOOM!
(Y/N) turns his attention towards the side of his head. The blood-covered gauntlet has hit the ground next to him, creating a bigger crack. Ashamed, he unable to turn his head back to his brother. Fortunately, the rain masquerading the tears that have fallen down on his face as it slowly hitting the ground.
Issei sighed as he slowly stood up from his brother, letting out a sigh of disappointment. Never has he seen his brother feeling defeated ever since that 'day'. "Listen here, bro..." Issei called out, trying to gain his attention. "We are still here for you...mom and dad...Buchou...Sona-san...all of our friends...especially me. If not me, embrace them when you need help. Even Bill will agree that you need to keep your act together...To push yourself forward by remembering him...don't drag yourself down into the hell again...please..."
Issei walked away, leaving the defeated Dream Demon crying in the mud as it began to rain more heavily. The rest aren't sure what to do as some slowly followed Issei, while others walked back inside, to avoid the rain. Only one person approached the downed devil as he looked back up and healed by the said person.
(Y/N)'s POV
Nighttime arrive, as the street light illuminate the darken area through the entire town of Kuoh. The park was as usual...cute. Nothing out of ordinary as both of me and the person who healed me sat down on the bench with a cup of hot coffee on our hand.
"I put creamer in yours...so you don't have to worry about it being bitter..." I said, smiling a bit. This couple of days have been rough for me to say at least...what Issei said was right. I acted like a dick back then...no better than those copy-pasted Isekai male character. It just...losing someone that I look up so much is...well...you know.
"Not a problem. Thanks (N/N)!" Asia chirped happily as she blows into her coffee before sipping it lightly.
"You should've gone home with the rest...You're going to catch a cold-"
"I don't care....I just want to be with (N/N) side...remember what Issei-san said?"
"..." I looked at her, feeling a pang of immense guilt coming through me. I've realized that out of everyone, I had ignored her way too much, even pushed her away as it was regular routine for me...Well, now I wish Issei could've punched me back in time to fix that then punched my past self. "Even after what I have done to you...you still here...by my side...I can't thank you enough..."
"(N/N)..." Asia gave me a passionate smile, soothing my heart with the innocent aura from the young devil. "You've done a lot to me since we first met. This is my way to repay to you...and for the rest of my days. I really do understand how you felt. I also grief about Cipher-san...but I knew that he wouldn't want his favourite student to act like this, am I right?"
I stared at Asia, continue to mesmerise at her after the speech. Maybe I should've just embraced them...it's more comforting then blaming yourself for his death...Then, I felt arms wrapping around me as I looked down and see Asia cuddling onto me. I felt the coldness of our wet outfit, yet calmed by gestures.
"(Y/N)...be happy...not just for me but for everyone...please?"
I was about to return the gestures until I heard wings flapping from the distance. Asia quickly released the hug upon hearing the noises as the figure landed in front of us. I narrowed my eyes in annoyance as I looked at the suited man standing in front of me.
"What do you want, Castiel?" I called as the Fallen Angel pulls out his cigarette from his pocket.
"Nothing much...just want to visit you..." Castiel lights up the cigarette. "I heard about Bill...Sorry that I didn't come to a lot sooner...had to settle some important business before I visit you..."
"Yeah...someone beat you to it," I said, winced about that evening event.
"Sheesh, I can see those bruises quite clearly..." Castiel whistled as he made his way towards young devils. "You look terrible...do not tell me you become a hermit at your own house? Quite pathetic I must say,"
"Thanks for the compliment...felt like you kicking on my body after my own brother beat me to a pulp..." I sarcastically replied, sipping onto my hot coffee.
"Wow, your brother beats you? Show how much bigger testosterone than you..."
"...please don't...and just say your reason on visiting me..."
"Alright, alright...I was joking..." Castiel puffed out some smokes as he said below us in the middle, creating a space that makes Asia uncomfortable. "Learn when to take a joke,"
I continue giving him a cold stare. "Sometimes I don't know whether you joking or just spite me to the ground like I was a lowlife-"
"Which you are!" Castiel then took another puff out of his smoke. "Anyway, I used to the same position as you,"
"Oh, bugger...this should be fun."
"Asia, do you know the rumour about me?"
"Y-Yes...I heard..." Asia told, trying to remember the warning that was given by the church she used to stay. "Umm...they said that an angel has fallen for defiling their own kind...the dream angel has fallen for a heinous act in the eyes of Lord..."
"Well, aren't that poetic," Castiel commented sarcastically before looking down to the ground. "That rumour is half true...I was fallen from Heaven to the Underworld after committed a crime...but I didn't do it on purpose..."
"So, you raped the Angel out of curiosity?" I inquiry, hearing the story from the Fallen Angel.
"Heh...I'm not Azazel. Even I have morale before fall from grace...I didn't even commit the sin..." Castiel gave a smile...but a miserable one. "I remembered the time when I was in Heaven...I usually hang around with a friend of mine...I'm not an Archangel neither one of the Seraph...I'm just an ordinary angel doing ordinary things...hearing confessions...naming babies...Yeah, our jobs aren't that marvellous but we do it out of respect to Him. You know, t Angel are allowed to have a feeling for each other in order to preserve our kind...I had my eyes set on one particular angel..."
"Well, ...who's the unlucky girl?"
"...Uriel..."
"..."
"..."
There's a silence between three of us. The cold wind of the night brushed onto our skins as we tried to comprehend with something this shocking. And then it happens...Both Asia and I does a spit take towards the fallen angel in the middle. The once-hot coffee was spat out by both of us, drenching poor Dream Angel in the middle as the water hit his body. After the incident, we both looked at Cass, with slight guilt in our heart.
"Sorry..." I muttered, trying to hide the fact that I got amused by it.
"I-I'm sorry!" Asia quickly apologized as goes and try to find a tissue in her bag.
"Don't worry...even I'm shocked that I'm capable of loving one of the Archangel...and it wasn't Gabriel." Castiel took the tissue that was handed by the blonde-haired girl. "Anyway, there's no way a simple angel falls for her...sure, everybody up there mesmerized by her beauty and elegant but no one dared to approach them...Some even fallen due to fall to temptation and try to find a human woman to satisfy their desire. But I didn't...I kept on believing and stay up in Heaven...until I met Raphael...We met during one of our mission on protecting the Holy Grail...Well, let just say we become friends right away. I mean, two angels walking around the medieval era...Believing in God and such...I even become one of his trusted allies."
"Let me guess, Raphael is the reason why you can get close to her, right?" I assumed the Fallen Angel nodded his head. "Well, how does it goes?"
"...Heh, she is...light-skinned, pure and elegant, long-hair, mature with a body like...woah! That's not the only reason I like her...She most light-hearted angel I ever met in my entire life. She believes in the potential for good in all things, including the hearts of all sentient beings...but I must say, she still can kick ass...if necessary."
"You got beaten by her didn't you?"
"You dare to assume-"
"That's a yes."
"..." Cass looked at me with a deadpanned expression on his face before ignored me. "Anyway, we get to know each other. Funny enough, Raphael decided to be my wingman...until that day..."
"The war, I presume?" Asia asked, sensing a slight sadness in the fallen angel's tone.
"Heh, it never changes...It was out of nowhere...Raph gone MIA...the Fallen Angels that once had their eyes on for the Seraph would like to the opportunity. They manage to surround them...manage to strip her...And well..."
"Oh god..."
"Yeah...I killed those bastards without letting them touch her...quite a horrific scene I must say. I remember I held a sawed-off shotgun that I took from Lucy..."
"Oh...I see..." Asia feeling glad that Uriel is fine from any harm but then she realized the aftermath of the story without him finishing. "Wait...that could mean-"
"Misunderstanding," I concluded. "You pleaded for innocent but one of the angel is the 'witness', am I right?"
"You should've seen how disappointed Michael's face when he looked at me as my wings turned black...aha...ha...ha..." Cass looked at the drenched cigarette and throw it away. "I was devastated...being wrongly accused for something that I didn't do. I kept on praying for God to bring me back from grace...heck, I prayed for Michael after the war was over...yet it never came. Each night, I fell more and more into despair...Truly, I became the lowest of the low...Which led up to what you see now...a pathetic excuse of a Dream Angel..."
Both of Asia and I looked at the Fallen Angel, feeling sympathize of how his life turned upside down from a single accusation. And to think that he manages to survive till now without anyone is amazing.
"Now, that all just a memory," Cass stood up from the ground, patting away the dust on his pants. "Sure, I already get over that tragedy by myself...but it took hundreds of years just to forget about it...and I don't want you to do the same. You have family who cared about you...heck, even blonde and period hair is your family. Cherish them..."
"...I see..." I looked at my now cold coffee before downed it down with one drink before throwing away the cup in the nearest bin. "Well, I'll take your advice and try to be nicer to everyone after I go back..."
"Heh, good. I don't want you to burn the world into the ground and stranded yourself in 2nd dimension. You aren't Bill...you better than him. Even he will agree with me in this matter."
"I know..." I smiled, imagining the sly smile of the previous Dream Demon. I knew that I will cherish his legacy and turn myself around. I will not let his memory into waste..."Thanks, Ca-"
I looked up and saw Castiel already left the park as a single feather flew down toward us as we stared at it. "Does he need to be this dramatic?"
"Haha, I think it's cool though!" Asia chuckled as she then turned her head back to me. "So?"
"...Asia...let's go home,"
[Timeskip]
Arriving at my house, I felt nervous and filled with extreme guilt. Asia standing there beside me, holding onto my hand and trying to calm me down from my anxieties. What if they hated me and kicked me out of my own house? What if they left my clan?! So many unwanted situations that I rather choose Issei punching me like I was a bag.
"(N/N), it's going to be alright," Asia soothed me with her touch as she held onto my hand tightly. "Don't worry, I'm with you..."
"Yeah, just prepare yourself to let go of me...I get the feeling I'm going to get pounces by the girl..." I warned her, only to be greeted with a cute pouty face. I opened the door to my front house before quickly dodging a hug attempt from Kurumi. She anticipated my return as kept holding onto Asia's hand.
"Darling! Why did you dodge that?" Kurumi pouted as she looked back at me.
"I don't know...I felt like dodging it and dropping the risk of getting fractured ribs is a good idea,"
"(Y/N)! You've returned," Rias greeted as she came down from the stair in a hurry. Arriving at the bottom of the staircase, she rushed in for a hug but was stopped by me raising my hand towards her. "W-What's the matter?"
"Please calm down, woman...I ain't a train. I'm pretty much stationary right now...second...I don't want a hug...maybe a cuddle later. Don't worry Asia. You're invited...and three..." I gave a genuine smile that made her blushed a bit. "I'm sorry...for everything that I did to you for the past couple of days..."
"W-Well, I'm still mad about how you act towards the rest of us...I will forgive you...ONLY if you apologize to everyone one else AND go on a date with me?"
"Yes, princess, yes..." I nodded my head with a smile as she gave me her signature smile. The rest of the tenants of the house arrived as they made their way towards us. I let go Asia's hand as I made my way towards them before bowing in respect. "Please, forgive me for my behaviour for I am a dumb and idiotic child that have feelings and definitely stupid with my decision making."
"You just...declared that you're an idiot, three times..." Koneko called out as she gave me a stoic looked on her face. "Which you are..."
"You don't need to tell me that again, Koneko-chan!"
"...Treat me...then I'll forgive you..."
"Yes, my pocket money is yours!"
"Ara, ara~ I almost injured myself to calm you down...maybe I do the same for you to even the odd~? How's that for an apology?"
"Yes, my body is yours!" I blurted out, before being smacked upright in the head by Rias. "I mean...I'll make it up to you...please don't kill me..."
"Well, I'm happy that you learnt your lesson after being punched by Issei, master." Kalawarner pointed as crossed her hand. "I forgive you, but only if you make Mittelt-chan happy!"
"W-Why me?!" Mittelt blushed as she was being called out by her close friend.
"Oh, I believe you're being extremely concerned about his well-being and constantly asked me about him every day-"
"WAWAWAWAWA!"
I chuckled at the antics of the two Fallen Angel as I looked at Raynare who just gave me a sincere smile. I returned the gestures before turning my attention towards my twin brother who gave me a genuine smile. He made his way towards me expecting a hug or a handshake.
"Heh, it seems you manage to pull your act together-" He was met with a fist in the face. As he was sent away couple of feet, shocking everyone in the room. He got up after the punch, glaring at me with slight anger. "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR?!"
"You broke my nose, dipshit!" I shouted back, flipping at him. He stood up and flipped me off with two of his fingers. We both quickly approaching each other with a quick-pace middle fingers flip off between us before meeting at the middle and each slammed fist with middle finger up to each other cheek. We both kept on glaring at each other before bursting out of laughter from our childish behaviour.
"I should've expected that..." Mittelt commented, deadpanned at us laughing our ass off.
We both looks at each other with a smile, showing off a brotherly affection as I put my hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry for being an absolute ass..."
"I'm sorry for punching you out of nowhere," Issei smirked before received another punch to the face by me. "NOW WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!"
"You think I will just accept defeat?" I chimed, creating a blue flames onto my left eye as we both let out a mischievous grin on our face. "I'm gonna beat your arse!"
"BRING IT ON!"
And with that...the show must go on...thank you, Bill, ...you will be remembered.
