"To save her.... Huh, what do you believe yourself to be? Some kind of grand noble hero? Because regardless of your "Noble intentions" you are still not permitted to lay your lands upon the one who mother has chosen."

Shido looked at her, on the other side of the coms however a large discussion was going on currently trying to understand what she was meaning .

Who was this "Mother" character she spoke of, and what was there intentions with hermit?

Shido however notting the danger of this woman had his mind wonder, was she here to hurt her? Was she only protecting her to drag her into an even worst fate?

However the spirit in question looked at the girl, she was scared, and the puppet was looking between her and Shiro confused.

"Ahhh who are you?" Asked Yoshinon, the puppet.

"My name is Ushiwakamaru chosen one." She turned as she crouched down to look her in the eyes.

"Ahhhhh chosen one? What is this? Some kind of generic sci-fi show?" The rabbit tilted its head and she did the same in return to keep eye contact.

"No, not at all. You see little one this girl, has been granted protection from the world via mother's blessing. She wished no harm to come to her choicen. So I am here as your protector."

"Hmmmmmm" Yoshinon had her hands fold under her chin as she though about what she said. "So you won't hurt Yoshino?"

"No, I won't."

"Like never never."

"Yes."

"You won't hurt her for a million years?"

"I wouldn't harm her even in a million years."

"Billion years."

"Same result."

"Hm, then welcome abort!"

"A-ah.... Y-Yoshinon, i-its this a g-good idea?"

"Why of course Yoshino! With her help nobody will harm you!"

"A-ah wait!" Shido cried out as the trio looked at him. And well once they there looking he froze, he didn't think this threw. "Y-you do know that your completely surrounded right?

The young looking spirit froze as the puppet looked towards there "proclaimed guardian" as she stood up and gentle placed her hand upon the spirits head as she patted her.

"We are surrounded by humans in fancy armor, This will not stop or be of concerned to mothers chosen. I'll make sure of it. But what to do with you?"

She began to reach for her sword however was stopped when she felt someone grab her arm.

She looked down at the small girl who shook her head as she understood and put her weapon back.

"Well let's get you out of here before Mother worries, I haven't contacted her in a bit."

So quicker then she was ready for she was scooped up and gone the next second, with Shido just standing there with a blank expression before sighing.

"Kotori, transport me back.... It didn't really turn out well."

[Ya Shido, we saw. But it's fine you'll have to make up for this lose by securing princess on your date tomorrow.]

"Ya.... I hope Tokha will be happy."

[.... Hey don't worry about it bro, you've got this.]

Shido smiled at his sister's encouragement.

"First time in a while since you've acted so nicely, what do you want this time?"

[Agh! N-nothing! Just wanted to give you some encouragement that way you don't ruin the whole thing with your now depressed mood, dummy.]

"Ahaha, ya ya, whatever Kotori."

Shido was beamed up to the ship and the two spirits where never heard from for the rest of the day as AST forces searched tirelessly for them only to come up empty handed.

However they did leave with one thing, a feeling that they where being watched by something from the shadows.
_______________________________________

*The next day.*

*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*

"Zzzzzzzz."

*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*

"Jesus Christ... Can someone please just turn off the alarm."

*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*

"WOULD YOU KINDLY SHUT THE HELL UP!!?"

*Boom*

So the morning has come, and with it the bane of Rosaline's sleep awoken to torment her with high pitched beeping, only for the desire beast to snap and for her to shoot it with a blast of energy that eviscerated the poor thing.

She raised her head up as her hair was a massive mess, she looked over and saw her door slowly open as a figure darted out and flew towards her.

Thankfully she wasn't too tired in order to react in time, and she caught the speeding figure and held them up with her barely being able to see with all her hair covering her face sense it was so messy at the time. But she got to look at who this was and things to the coloring she knew who this was.

"Tokha, it's to early in the morning for this shit... Can you please not torment me right now?"

"Hehe nope! You got to get up Onee-sama, because we got school."

"Fuck school, nap time comes first. School can go suck my di-"

"Ahem!"

Rosaline looked over and saw an angry aura? And what looked like a horned figure with bright blue hair and a revealing outfits standing there in the doorway facing her.

"Wha?...... Oh" it then clicked who this was and we'll she was definitely awake then as she jumped up like a damn cat and almost tripped and fell to the ground upon landing.

"Ahh so ahh mom about what I said, you see I- I didn't mean to swear Infront of t-tokha so Ahahah how about we Chuck this up to "sleepy dementia" and call it a day?"

However she only faintly saw her mother holding... A belt?

........ Oh fuc-

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

*meanwhile in the living from.*

"You think Onee-sama is going to survive?"

"Probably not."

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

Higabuki looked towards the upstairs as he and Tokha look at each other before seeing Rosaline fly into the wall, they watched as she slowly peeled from the wall before face planting into one of the steps, only to witness her body beging being pulled down as she tumbled down the steps and crashed into the closet that was a little ways ahead of where the upwards Ascent of the steps would begin.

Higabuki and Tokha would watch as she slowly pulled herself out of the closet as she stood there with messed up hair and her school cloths on, only to have her backpack thrown at the side of her face, and for it to connect sending her back inside of the closet.

The one to cause of this was the angry mother who stood at the top of the steps, with a sharp glare.

"Now get your ass up and get going to school young lady!"

"O-ok mom."

Higabuki being the brother he is sighed as he went over and helped her up as they walked out the door and Rosaline quickly began to rush away from the house as the duo who remained just laughed at her misfortune.

God was it fun ever laughing at her misfortune.

However back at the house the mother sighed as she looked up towards the sky as she felt her phone vibrate, looking down it was Ushiwakamaru.

[Mother, I have the chosen on.]

[Alright and how is she? Not hurt right?]

[No, I've been keeping our location secret, and moving around from building to building, however as to our last contact been allowing her to Rome to her heart content. While maintaining distance in order to monitor, but she and that rabbit have been wanting to meet you.]

[I see, well keep her safe until a little while longer. I only work half a day today at 12:00 sharp I'll meet you at a location of your there choice.]

[I understand mother, 😉]

[....Did you just use and emoji?]

[I did, Did I use it incorrectly?]

[You did. That's more of a "suggestive"/"flirting" emoji from what Rosaline told me.]

[I see, I'm sorry to give any mixed signals to you mother. It is inappropriate of me as one of your children to have used such a thing. I will repent by deleting my previous message.]

[Jesus Christ, Ushiwakamaru You're being a drama queen, You're fine. Leave the message how it is, I forgive you It's your first time using it so don't be so hard on yourself.]

[You are forgiveness is a blessing to me oh great mother.]

[......😑, Okay well fill me in later all right. Ushiwakamaru.]

[Will do Mother]

The text ended and the mother sighed.

"Why is she such a drama queen!!!!!"

_______________________________________

*At school.*

"Hello Shido."

"Oh hey Tokha, how's it going?"

"Good, we just arrived."

"That's great, and hey about today..."

"Ya I know! It's our date! I'm really looking forward to it Shido."

"R-really?"

"Ya why wouldn't I?"

Tokha tilted her head as Rosaline who was observing laughed her ass off.

"God that kids hopeless."

"You say that and yet he'll get more girls then you." Higabuki said, turning to his sister she glared at him in defiance.

"And you seem to not remember that I am a goddess of love, I can make any woman weak in the knees for me." Rosaline smirked as she looked at her brother. "Though you get no action, how said."

"Hm between the two of us who's actually had a girl in there room."

"Pfff definitely not you."

"..... Hm, you'd be surprised."

The cockiness in his voice caused Rosaline to stumble as she looked at her brother.

"H-hold the hell up bro! Y-you actually have game!!?"

"Yes I do."

"Sense when!?"

"Sense I wanted to."

"What's her name?"

"As of I'm telling you."

"Oh hell no, we, is not about to do this. Spill Higabuki, or else I'll tell mom that you had a girl in your room, without her permission."

The bearer of Beast 1 shuttered, he flipped around and glared at his sister. "You wouldn't dare."

"Try me."

The two glared so hard the temperature of the room dropped as the class was silent, they looked at the siblings who had what appeared to be lightning striking at the other.

"Onee-chan, Onee-sama what are you doing?"

"Getting blackmailed"

"Persuading our brother."

"Ahhh... Ok but you know everyone is looking."

"Let them I want to know who our brother had in his r-"

To save his life Higabuki sprung into action, using his quick speed he slammed his opened hand across his sisters mouth shutting her up.

"Are you crazy!?" Higabuki yelled/whispered to his sister. "If Tokha hears this What the hell do you expect going to happen!? She'll tell mom and will both be in trouble."

"How would I be in trouble dipshit?"

"Because you couldn't keep your mouth shut and brought up the sensitive topic of having the opposite sex in the same room as them. And with how clumsy Tokha is What do you think's going to happen if she tells her mom that? You think it's going to be an accurate assessment of what You got, or a cliche animate event where we get in trouble because of it."

"........ You got a point... Kay I'll live you alone."

"Thank Alpha."

"But I want to know who she is, at launch. Just the bare minimum will do."

".... I guess that's fine."

"Alright now let's get seated so we don't cause a conundrum."

"Agreed."

As they say down Higabuki waited for everything to be started but stopped as he sensed something familiar.

'Hold up, is she-'

"Hello everyone, glad you can make it. Now without further to do I would like to make it known we have a new transfer student. Would you please come in now."

The door opened as there it was.

Higabuki stared with slightly wider eyes as he soon found his gaze narrowing

There the figure was, pearly skin and long, black hair tied in long twin tails. Her right eye is red-tinted while her other eye was covered by Her elegant jet black hair. Her posture was that of elegance itself, almost like royalty but the Demon king knew what was under this mask, as behind it was a Nightmare wrapped in sheep's clothing.

"Hehe greetings everyone, my name is Kurumi, Kurumi Tokisaki. And as of this day I shall be attending this academy it is a pleasure to meet you."

'What the hell, why is she here? Isn't she supposed to arrive later.... Oh wait... It's because I decided to invite the crazy, great. Now she's.... Oh she's looking at me..... Fuck.'

"Hehe, oh is that you Higabuki-kun~ my I didn't expect to see you here~ what a real coincidence."

"Ya.... What a coincidence indeed."

"Fufufu oh come now don't be so mean to me, I'm just so excited where here together. Though now that I think about it, seems like I'm going to need someone to show me around... Hehe, soooo how about it. Mind showing me around."

'..... Your protagonist is over there.' the Demon king sighed, great if this wasn't enough with mom sending out Ushiwakamaru (Chaos Tide) out to do god knows what, now he had to deal with miss Crazy herself.

Though as he was trying to think to as of why she was here all of a sudden he was ripped out of his chair and pushed forward, he looked back and there she was, Rosaline motherfuking toll goddess at her work again.

'Rosaline when I get back I swear to Solomon himself that I'm putting you threw the wall!'

"Oh how nice of you miss..."

"Rosaline, don't bother with formalities, and it's no problem after all my brother can be stubborn as a mule and needs a little push to get his path set straight. Take care while your on your tore."

"Oh I will. Now come on Higabuki-kun, let's go on our tore."

"....." 'Rosaline I fucking hate you right now.'

The boy of Luna with nothing else to do (mainly because his sister wanted to be a wing woman.) Just accepted this and walked out with her, with the teacher smiling as shes never seen Higabuki outside of his group of his two sister smile before. Hopefully he could lighten up with this new girl who seems to be quite smitten with him.

"Alright class, let's get started."
_______________________________________

*With the duo.*

Currently the two where going from floor level to floor level, as the reborn Demon King wondered with the Nightmare, there presence leaving a dark stain in the halls they walked as the woman in question continued to smile all the way threw her little journey.

Though she could figure this all out having her "Partner in crime" help her out was much more enjoyable.

Though when they where alone on top of the roof the mask came off as the demon king looked towards the Girl.

"Ara Ara, that's a strong gaze you have there Demon King-Kun."

"So, you truly took me up on my offer. You came to school but what's with the quick appearance."

"Well it is becoming increasingly harder to keep eyes on you from the outside, so I figured I would take your offer to be able to talk to you more, and to also warn you."

"Warn me, of what?"

"Phantom, she's becoming increasingly more interested in locating you all."

"Oh is that it. A fly buzzing around us is of no concern to me. Or my family. That fly is equivalent to garbage, something we could easily take out."

"My you talk to proudly and so confidently it almost sounds arrogant."

"Take it how you will, but know the woman will never reach her goal if she wishes to pursue us."

"I see..."

The two where silent though as Kurumi looked at him she felt... Small.

Not just pure physiology wise that was a given considering he was a whopping six, two and made of pure muscle. But power wise as well. Spirits can be gauged by the level of power they possess via the aura they radiate however this individual didn't even expell this power, but when he did allow it to slip it radiated so strongly it could be felt across the planet.

A "Slight scuffle" as he would put it, possessed enough power to put the world into panic. Though she knew it wasn't his full power she wondered if he truly was a spirit, normal spirits don't call the planet shaking because of there power a "slight scuffle".

She didn't know what the hell he was, and that was the "Scariest part" about him. He was a complete mystery. He could see the future, and from the way he talked didn't even register Phantom as a threat. Just a "Buzzing fly." Or "garbage."

She has hunted spirits to collect their energy, And she plans on doing the same with shiro, but she doesn't think she would ever point her guns at this family of demons, nor this king that stood before her.

Though she was glad he was on "Her side" in a way somethings seemed to be bothering him, and it made her wonder.

What's got the demon king's attention?

"Ne, Demon King-Kun, what's on your mind?"

".... *Sighs* my mother, she's planning something."

"Oh, I see. Well does it have to do with resent events?"

"You could say that. Though can't help but feel like moms up to something. I could easily find out but at the same time I know how she is when I look into her own matters, but at this point seems like things are just progressing extremely quickly."

"Hmm what do you mean about that?"

"...." Looking up the boy just stared at the sky. His family wanted to remain in peace but with what Kurumi said, and from his own clairvoyance, he wondered if they could actually stay in the dark. Sooner or later some dumbass was going to do something and cause a problem and they would undoubtedly have to get involved.

But the planet, the people, the spirits, hell everything was at risk of there wrath.

They wanted to protect the people around them with this power and yet here they where, Rosaline freaking robbed an entire furniture store, Mom was sending out Pseudo Beast class beings out for whatever reason (which he'll find out here soon.) And lastly his involvement with Kurumi.

They have all done something which at this point has tipped the world into furthering there ideal of who the hell they are.

They've heard of what Origami says they are "irregular Spirits." With Rosaline getting the aliases of both [The bewitcher] and [Goddess.] There mother both [irregular Mother] and [Celestial one]. And lastly he getting both [Demon King] and [King of Armageddon].

Shit if the AST was bad enough, from what Higabuki seen with his clairvoyance even the freaking DEM, was going to come after them.

Which begged the question why doesn't he just end them now?

Sprout the 72 Demon Gods and be done with them, Just one of them would be enough to take them out all 72 would be able to obliterate their existences, but as the thought crosses his mind he can't help but feel like that would bring retaliation from something.

Not someone... But something.

Like the will of the planet itself was trying to cross this idea off his mind, saying "Hey don't go blowing me up to high hell or well deal with you." Which really wouldn't be a surprise considering that there was something in fate called a counterforce.

In this world they don't know what could be a part of it, sure it's an anime world but at the drop of a hat things can change who knows if elements of Fate have been integrated into the world via Alpha. If that was the case then it would explain why Higabuki wasn't able to just simply view it via his clairvoyance, It's because the very will of the counter force was probably preventing it. He wouldn't be able to know it's moves, and hell he wasn't even sure if Goetia himself could predict the counter force's movements.

If the counter force was actually real then that could be bad for several reasons but mainly one thing in particular...

Grand Servants.

Just one beast was enough to have a servant like King Hassan show up, what would happen if multiple showed up? Or hell what if they accidently caused a massive outburst which caused a singularity? Would Chaldea get involved? Would he have to fight all the servants from FGO?

Maybe even Solomon himself could somehow show up.

There was just too many unknowns, He could never truly trust his own clairvoyance to just simply show everything. The future was ever changing And they were new elements coming into play every single time it did, something like Chaldea's arrival, maybe even the counterforce seeing them as a treat and dispatching several grand servants after them.

Sure he can just unsummon them via Nega-Summon But the damage would be immeasurable, and their lives as they know it would be completely destroyed.

Hell Tokha could die if this happens.

So does that mean he has to hold back?

Or does he say screw it and uses his power to obliterate any obstacle that comes in his, and his families way.

What could he do to prevent a problem of that size from arriving to this life they are trying to build?

God, this was just annoying.

Giving a sigh he turned to Kurumi, they where now partners, so he figured he could ask something.

"Hey Kurumi."

"Yes Demon King-Kun?"

"What would you do to deal with something you don't know how to proceed with?"

"Hmm, that's a good question."

"Sorry if it seems out of left field, though now I'm just in a pickle right now." 'Not like I expected anything else, unlike the Original Goetia, he had a clear goal and nothing in his way, ahh well except Chaldea but he didn't care, and especially for the smaller things like emotion or family, he had his mind on a point and he just went with it, bodied anyone who got in his way and just didn't give a shit about who was the ones catching the hands. But myself on the other hand... I'm much more different then Goetia, sure I have his form and powers and abilities, but I'm not fully him. I'm still the same old Higabuki Kazusumu, Im nowhere near as old, or wise as him. But I'm also not as arrogant him as well, sure towards small treats im similar but this grand threat hell no... God just wish I had someone to ask for help, shits so confusing sometimes.'

Kurumi watched as the boy had his own internal conversation, she wondered what was the reason for this sudden asking but honestly it didn't bother her at this point because she would give the answer because why not?

"Well as for what I would do, it's simple, normally if I come across something which I don't know how to proceed with, I just step back, truth is in life there are so many options, but you force yourself into only a single option because you think there's no other way to proceed with it. That's the fault alot of people make, but giving yourself Room to breath and think is the only surefire way of being able to consider the possibilities. Having options is the best way to proceed with actions. If you don't have other ways to continue you just end up running into a brick wall and no one, loves running into walls. It's all about how you take your current objective and imagine all the ways it can fall, and succeed."

The girl stopped as she placed her finger upon her chin in a thinking posture, before turning as the teen smiled and chuckled.

"Thanks Kurumi, that's actually helpful."

"Oh my stop your making me blush Demon King-Kun~."

"Well anyway. I wanted to ask you another thing."

"Which is?"

"Why are you being so flirty with me."

"Hmm?"

"Kurumi from what I've seen you a girl who's hands are painted red, you've killed more then anyone else, your sadistic, a bit crew to thoughts that are "deserving of it" and over all a "Demon" to those around you. And yet here you are laughing and giggling, actually helping me instead of brushing me off, not to mention you where ment to be with Shiro to begin with."

"What?" Kurumi stopped as she looked him in the eyes a bit confused and slightly flustered.

"Ya, the kid who goes on to build his own little Harem, ya you where original ment to fall for him and even get to him, now that's changed. You've shifted your attention to me, and Shiro is no longer in your future."

"......"

"Not trying to peer pressure you into talking I just want to know if you are actually getting feeling or if this could just be a one time thing."

"..... Hm how is a girl supposed to know? Though I guess I have a playful side, and usually it does come out more when I'm around you, I don't know why it just tends to happen. Perhaps I'm doing it out of just trying to make sure I can keep this alliance of ours from running into the ground and us becoming enemies, maybe it's something else, but definitely not love. You may be sweet and a very handsome man, but that kind of future is not for me. And you said it yourself, I was ment to get with Shiro but looks like even that Future is away now. And you didn't see us together so means it's not for us. But I still have my mission. And I intend to complete it."

".... I see, well I feel that we have chatted enough."

"Hehe, perhaps your right Demon King-Kun, I should be getting to class."

She turned and walked away as the boy sighed, he leaned on the rails as his mind went to work, the demon gods within stirring as they began to communicate with there leader but that stopped when the boy grabbed a broken piece of the tiles and yeeted it as beyond eye tracking speed as it zoomed around the corner only for it to stop without braking sense he didn't hear it shatter.

"Damn, though you didn't see me bro."

"Well you suck at hiding, reason why I always won at hide and go seek, though with you it was more like "hide and be obvious seek."

"Oh quit your talking smart ass, speaking of which I see so that was the girl huh."

"Yup, no point in hiding it. Kurumi, also known as Nightmare. The most "Vile" and evil spirit in this world. She and I had a little joint understanding and became partners in crime, we would help the other, we've had chats from time to time but now I had a little conversation which you where here for the entire thing so I don't need to repeat myself."

"Ya I know, but you think that can really happen? Having Chaldea or the counter force appear would be devastating. Like I know we would have the power, But what of everything else?"

"Simple, it gets destroyed. Chaldea may be able to be reasoned with. But the counterforce ya, not so much. Especially if it sends servants with the soul objective to kill us, ya we could basically destroy them but we lose everything we've built, especially out little sister, I don't want her friends being dragged into this, nor having the future be destroyed and having Alpha become angered at us. Which basically means the death of all of us."

"Hmm no matter how you slice it if what you say is true then where in a pickle, act to rashly and we risk the planet itself hatting us, cause to much of a twist on things and we risk creating a singularity and having Chaldea come after all which means an army of Servants to deal with. Then again if it's Fujimaru maybe we can come to an agreement. Though if we can't, guess we just have to burn it to the ground."

"Hm, easier said then done, they have servants of all classes and also let's not forget to mention that they also have alter versions of the beast like with Kama, Kiara, Draco, and also Tiamat, and they have Gilgamesh, Merlin, and so on. But I guess without Solomon my Nega-Summon should work but if a single noble phantasm goes off this city is doomed to fall into ruin."

"What about Tokha and the others? Do you think we could protect them?"

"Hm, If I used my second noble Phantasm to transport them to my workshop then maybe. Though there's no telling how they would react but it's better to have an overreaction then I'm being dead However as for everyone else Well I can't really say."

"Thought you're supposed to know everything you know with you being able to see well everything."

"I'm not omniscient. I can see the future yes but what my predecessor hadn't learned was that the future is ever changing It's never straight Even if you could view every timeline like a flowing river, which would be insane. You still couldn't tell what would be the permanent outcome clairvoyance allows you to see the current future that everything is on. The most likely events that will transpire, not the events that will transpire. The difference between what will and most likely, is that most likely is a choice of action that they have because of the certain circumstances. It's their only way to move forward, but it doesn't have to be said way, it can always change if another scenario can be found to change it. will happen is faded and will never be changed otherwise. No matter what choices or paths are open. The differences between that will be faded to happen, and what are most certainly likely to happen are far too great. Infinite in fact. There's no telling what they will do from one point to another, and to make things worse humanity, and every living soul can change the flow of time thanks to their own will, You've seen it, I've seen it, we've played it. Because how do you think Chaldea won? Goetia viewed the future and saw his victory, at that point he thought that his future was secured that nothing could change it, It was the most likely scenario to happen. Not the fated decision. The future changed and he had not seen it because he was blind to the future he originally saw. Not the one that came to be, just because you can see the future doesn't mean you'll always know what is to come, you just get a glimpse at what can happen. If it isn't Fated to happen it can always change."

The sister just sat there listening never before has she sat threw such a grand sp-

"Zzzzzzzzzz"

"........ Did she..." The brother looked at his sister as she was leaning against the wall asleep.

"....."

"Zzzzzzzzzz."

Looking at this sight Higabuki just clenched his first and reached towards the ground as he grabbed a chung from the floor below his feet and chucked that shit at his sister at speed that broke the sound barrier.

The resulting boom that was heard scared the entire school as everyone jumped, wondering what the hell happened.

Meanwhile back on top Rosaline sat there with a red mark on her forehead and a pissed off expression on her face.

"HIGABUKI!!!! IMA FREAKING KILL YOU!!!!!"

It was then that the brother just threw up a peace sign and jumped over the railing and flung himself down and using his momentum grabbed a ledge to push off of to further his distance.

Looking up he saw his sister peering over the ledge as she was about to jump after him.

"See ya you horned slut!"

"Ghhhh!! ILL GET YOU! YOU FUCKING VIRGIN DEMON KING!!!"

Oh ya, it was safe to say that Rosaline and Higabuki did a little trolling.

But meanwhile off in the distance new events where taking place.

_______________________________________

*Elsewhere.*

"By Luna and please tell me how the shopping trip goes for your new daughter. The poor thing sounds so scared, I'm glad you stepped up and are willing to take the role as mother."

"Ahaha, oh you know me can't say no to that cute face of hers."

"Yes that's usually how they get us, which there adorable and pinchable faces of there's."

"Ahah, well alright Amari. Catch ya later."

"You too."

Luna walked out of her house as she sighed, stretching she looked at her phone as she saw a new text.

[Mother we have rendezvoused to another hidden building but the humans are hot on pursuit, I have done my best with conventional distractions however as of now I may need to shed blood to deter further swarming.]

[Ushiwakamaru stay on focus, if you spill blood now you will only emboldened them to come for you. Though at your current location you will be discovered, I recommend to rotate back towards the house. Get my little girl safe and sound.]

[Have you already taken a liking to her mother? I know she is the chosen one but to see you praise her as one of your own. It is truly something else.]

[Don't judge me, I can't help but be worried about the little one. Not to mention my own motherly instincts won't let me forget the poor scared thing. I want to make sure she is happy and cherished. Like any child like her should. So yes. I guess I have, I already see her a my second adoptive daughter.]

[.... Then if you so desire I will make sure to have her returned by the rise of the morning sun.]

[Do so, I wish to not have the child injured in any capacity.]

[It shall be done mother.]

The Beast Mother looked at the final text sent by Ushiwakamaru and sighed.

'Looks like she'll be alright, I shouldn't worry though any time now the kids should be getting home. I got off early so maybe I'll surprise them with dinner.... Actually ya, lets do that.'

The Reborn Goddess went to her fridge and pulled out the food, she was feeling a breakfast for dinner type of day, so as she turned the stove on and readied her pans she took strips and bacon and set them in the pan as they began to sizzle.

Things seemed to be going great which means that things are going to get bad, which happened sooner then she expected because she got a phone call with Rosaline's homeroom teacher.

Apparently her daughter was caught chasing Higabuki around and best part she tried to throw a sharpened piece of metal at her brother.

Luckily it was the home room teacher who sat her down and talked to her but now with darkness shading over her eyes a "Sweet" smile spread across her lips taking root.

Reaching into the fridge she pulled out a bottle of something, she then proceeded to add a little onto the plate that belonged to her daughter as she placed the plate on the table with her setting the rest of the table up.

She chuckled a little evily to herself as she looked at the door, awaiting for her children's return.

The second the door opened her children walked in, with Rosaline recoiling at her eyes landing on her mother.

"M-mom y-your home."

"Yes I am, I got off early today and even made you all dinner so please come eat. You all must be hungry."

The kids smiled with of course Tokha magically appearing at the table with a gal of wind being sent threw the house, as Higabuki took his place and of course the last the scared Rosaline taking her seat last.

The other two opened and devoured there food with them commenting on the divine taste which caused the mother to smile, and of course the daughter was about to eat but saw a dangerous glint come from the mother's eyes which caused her to flinch.

"Go on sweetheart, eat up. You must be starving after a long day of school."

"Y-ya...."

"Why are you so nervous sweetheart?"

"Ahhh..... Well..."

"Did something happen?"

The mother's voice was filled with a confusion that caused Rosalines heart to sore in hope.

'Maybe I'm not going to meet the reaper today!'

"Oh nothing mom!"

The girl smiling happily grabbed her food and took a big ol bite.

And immediately her mouth was slammed with a slamming sour taste that caused her mouth to burn. And not just any burn no no this was worst then the hottest shit on the planet combined and then refined! It was blazing hot!!

She began to pant as her eyes watered almost immediately, she slammed her face into the table causing her food to fly into the air, she was panting and panting hard as the girl looked up to try and find salvation, and spotted the fridge, so she ran towards it to try to get the key to stop this but saw they where out of milk.

"Looking for this?" The mother asked as she held up two jugs of milk in her hand.

"Y-ya!" The girls eyes where red from tears at this point as the mother just looked at her dangerously.

"Ya, so I got the call from your teacher, why were you dumb enough to sprint through the hallway like a freaking clown laughing your ass off as you attempted to throw a quote on quote "sharp metal object" at your damn brother girl!? Did I raise you to be a damn clown! No I didn't! So where the hell did you go about acting like this!?"

"H-how c-c-come H-h-" the girl was stuttering like crazy trying to ignore the burning taste in her mouth But unfortunately that wasn't working to well.

Though Luna knew what her daughter was implying. And sighed.

"Oh ya, trust me Higabuki we'll get knocked into next Tuesday after all I know you two very well and all this started probably because he did something, like throw a rock, or pranked you somehow. However the facts do remains that you, Rosaline. Acted without common sense, instead of getting your brother back in private or somewhere else. You decided to throw everyones a damn show and act like a complete lunatic. Though I wouldn't be as mad as this if you weren't caught, The facts still remains you where caught, Meaning that others had to witness your clonery in action. Including your teacher, And how do you think that reflects on me?"

"B-badly."

"Exactly, now I know that you're salty little salmon when it comes to these but apologize to your brother, And you apologize to her, And as of now I will exempt you from punishments because you are going through punishment enough right now. They'll let me catch you acting like this again or get a report from your teacher that something like this happens and so help me God girl If you get expelled or suspended because you're stupidity The ass whooping you will receive will be legendary. Those that inherit your genetics my future grandchildren will be able to feel the ass whooping I give you. So do I make myself clear?"

"C-c-crystal mom! Now please help this burning is getting worse!!"

"I know that's what it was designed for. But here you are have a glass."

The mother held a cup as the daughter snatched it and guzzled it down as quickly as possible, and eight more cups later she fell onto the table as she seemed to have passed out.

"...... Mom what was in that"

"Oh you know the standard for any punishment sauce, refined and hot of the line reaper pepper sauce, wasabi, Ghost reaper sauce, and you know that Mad Dog, and lots of it. Oh and I infused my mana into it to strengthen its effects and taste upon consumption."

"......"

"........"

Both Tokha and Higabuki shivered as they looked at there sister who was extending her hand and whispering to help her, but that didn't happen as it fell and she just sat there being tormented by the sauce.

"Now Higabuki, I know that you know, that punishment is in order, So we can do this easy way or the hard way. If you confess to me what you did, I'll lighten the punishment... Well dispensing on what It was that you did, Or you can refuse to tell me which in that case I will take it as you did something astronomically stupid and I will force feed you this entire bottle. Now spill."

The brother was now sweating bullets as the mom held the vial that singlehandedly dropped Rosaline.

"Come ooooooon, I'm waiting."

"....." 'Alright here goes nothing.' "All I did was throw a broken piece of tile from the ceiling at her, that ended up hitting her forehead. That's all."

"So you threw this because?"

"Well I was talking about future problems I could come to us when she just decided to doze off rather rudely, so I decided to pranker with it."

"So this wouldn't have happened around 11:29 would it?"

"Well I think that's when it happened, why?"

"Oh you know, because there sounded like a damn jet went off and caused quite the fright. Not just for me, but for everyone in the city. Now let me ask again."

'Shit.'

"Higabuki, did you throw this "tile" at your sister so damn hard it broke the sound barrier, and caused this eruption to happen?"

"..... Ya, that's basically what happened."

"Thank you for your honesty. No punishment sauce for you."

'Thank crist.'

"Instead you'll get this."

Appearing behind her son, she cocked her arm back before letting explosive fury carry out the rest as the first slammed upon his skull, giving the meanest bonk to ever be given. So much so it knock him out of his chair.

Now seeing her handy work she dusted off her hands and sighed.

"Don't go doing stupid shit in public anymore, I raised you two better than this. You're not some hooligans, act like it."

Dashing into her chair she sighed before remembering something.

"Oh ya, sweetheart."

"Hmm what is it mom?" Tokha finally pulled herself up away from her food as bits of bacon crumbs around her mouth, but that damned sparkle in her eyes was just so cute to the mother's eyes as she giggled at her youngest daughter, seems like she hasn't even realized what happened with her siblings because she was so busy eating food.

Oh well, the girls precious with these kind of moments.

"You're going out with that boy today right?"

"Yes mom."

"Shiro right."

"Yup!"

"Well tell this Shido while your on the date that I would like to meet him, and have a little... "Chat" with the boy."

Luna looked at her daughter who was confused, though if Shido himself was here however, he would have probably died because the sinister grin was enough to freeze over hell itself.

But Tokha was completely oblivious to this.

"Huh? You mean you want to talk to Shido to be friends with him as well mom?"

".... Hm, Guess you can say that you silly thing. However He tries anything, You call me, or text anything except "on my way home" and I'll be there in a split instance. Doesn't matter when doesn't matter where, mamma will be there for you."

"Hehe, thanks!"

"No problem baby."

The mom handed Tokha her plate because truth be told she wasn't hungry, she already ate while at work so she really didn't need this plate and it seemed to brighten her smile so it was a win-win.

"So when is he arriving?"

"Hmm?"

"He is coming to pick you up right?"

"Oh, well we agreed to meet each other at the mall to start us off before we go somewhere else."

"I see, well You should probably go get changed after you're done eating after all for your first date you shouldn't wear your school uniform."

"Oh, ok mom! I'll put on something cute to knock Shiro's socks off!"

"Now that's the spirit my little tiger."

"Hehe, well I should go get ready."

She grab the last remaining piece of bacon and sprint it up the steps.

"Ahhh, looks like my youngest daughter has finally found someone who could possibly be a significant other.... Now why can't you two find a  lover to give your mother grandchildren with?"

"Because I'm not interested in any of the boys or girls in our school, they're bland and generic like bad background anime characters." Spoke Rosaline.

"Ya, and I just don't think I'll ever get with anyone from that school." Said the King of Demon Gods.

"*Sighs* Guess your mother's got to wait then."

So everything just went silent again, the mother waited for her daughter to arrive back with her new outfit while the other two would slowly get up and take there seats, with Higabuki being fine but Rosaline being salty as all hell.

Though they would soon forget all about this as the footsteps coming there way would alert them to Tokha's arrival and when she zoomed around the corner there she was in her new outfit, she gave a little twirl to showcase her full outfit as she did.

"Soooo what do you all think?"

"You look nice Tokha."

"Damn sis, trying to kill the poor boy. Because that's probably what's going to happen." The sister chuckled as Tokha smirked, that's exactly what she was aiming for, to completely shock Shido on this date.

And well there mother was the last but she chuckled, honestly Tokha was the same as her when she was younger, and as such the mother could only stand and walk to the girl as she plopped a kiss on her forehead and placed her hands on her shoulders.

"Now listen here Tokha." The girl looked up at her mother. "You go out there and you knock this boys world view completely off balance. We all believe in you, so go ahead and rock this date sweetheart."

"Alright mom! Onee-chan, Onee-sama. I'll have the best date ever and make you all proud!!"

"Then you better get going you little heart snatcher." Rosaline responded with.

"Alright see you all when I get back!"

"See you Tokha, be safe out there." They all said at once.

"I will!"

And with that the door slam shut and The girl was gone though thanks to their enhanced hearing They could still hear her foot steps outside as she was presumingly running down the sidewalk towards the mall.

"Aha, that's my girl, I'm proud of my daughter She finally found someone who could possibly be her lover."

"Ya, though guess we got showed up by our own little sister huh bro."

"Guess so. Not that I don't mind."

"Will it still makes me a little bit salty that she the youngest found someone first."

"Yeah but you're always salty about something, This isn't anything special."

"Fuck you brother."

"I only speak the truth. And speaking of which mom mind if I go out for a second."

"Hmm why if I may ask?"

"Got some school errands I got to run, not to mention to help a friend out."

"Well alright, But be sure to make it here before the sun goes down, You still have to go tomorrow after all.

"Don't worry Mom I will be."

The son was gone the next instant with the daughter looking at where he once stood as she looked at her mom and back at the empty space.

"Well, what's your problem now?"

"Oh nothing just wondering if I could go out as well. You know to make sure Tokha is fine."

"I'm sure Higabuki can make sure she's safe especially with his long range sensing capabilities and also his plethora of various magics that can help with seeing things that are far away."

"Ya I don't think that's going to happen."

"And why's that?"

"Because he's probably going to be talking with miss psychopath herself."

"Miss Psychopath?"

".... Pretend you didn't hear me."

"No know I'm curious, Rosaline tell me who this woman is."

"Well...." 'okay how do I say this? Do I just flat out tell her Brother is friends and also possibly has more game than he's originally thought of. Or just make something up..... Ahhhh alright, You're lucky bro I got your back.'

"Come on I'm waiting."

"Well to be honest with ya mom, You see a new girl transferred over and well she and bro seem to really hit it off. Though she's a bit on the more crazy side from how much flirting she was doing. It's the reason why I called her Miss psycho, Because only a psychopath would flirt with my brother. But ya, besides that bro agreed to help her out if she needed assistance with school stuff and she excepted. They already agreed to meet after school and talk so that's where he's going to be. Which of the reason why I want to go out and make sure Tokha is alright especially from the AST, That way we don't have to concern Higabuki with this and he can stay with the crazy of his dreams."

"..... I see, well if that's the case then go ahead. But same with Higabuki. Do not be out past the sun going down Also don't make a fool of yourself again. Or else I'll force feed you this bottle."

"Alright, alright, I get it, I get it. I'll stick to the shadow mainly I'll watch from afar If someone tries to attack I'll be there to intercept it."

"Alright you can go."

And just like the brother the sister was gone the next instant.

"Hm, guess that's the reason why I smelled a feminine stitch in Higabuki's room that day. Seems like these two are more acquainted then Rosaline is letting on to be. Oh well, I know they didn't do anything stupid so I guess it's fine. But next time I should let him know to inform me ahead of time after all a girl should meet there boys mother sometimes and this is no exception."

The mother When she finished that line of thought simply just decided to rest after a long day's work, she went to the couch and didn't bother to hide her newfound true form and she re-emerged in her beast form, she took her seat on the couch as she smiled looking at the shows as she soon found her eyes growing heavy and she slowly drifted off to sleep.

Her face cutely laying there as she let out little gasps of air here and there, breathing soundly in her nice little sleep she hadn't had in forever.

_______________________________________

*With Tokha.*

"Shido!!!"

The young Blue haired teen who was now in the line of sight of Tokha raised his head as he heard her voice though as he turned his head he froze as he saw the form of Tokha arrive in her cute as hell new outfit.

"Hey Shido, ready to begin!"

"Y-ya."

"Hmm Shido your red? Are you feeling ok?"

"I'm totally fine Tokha. Nothing to worry about."

"Hmmm, alright. Well we should get going now shouldn't we?"

"Ya, guess so."

The girl laughed as she took his hand, before practically dragging the poor boy behind her as she sprinted off, though he was able to keep up {barely} he couldn't help but smile at how excited she was for this, honestly warmed his heart to see this sight.

To think she was this excited for a date between the two of them, Tokha was definitely something else.

"Ohhhh Shido how about we go to a nice restaurant! I heard the one on the corner over here is very good!"

"Y-ya, whatever you want Tokha."

"Alright, let's go!"

"Ahhh can you please slow down!"

"Hehe nope because that means I don't get to spend as much time with you on this date of ours!"

Her sweet excited voice combined with the shimmering golden sun's light that shines threw her hair caused Shido to lose himself in a trance, her eyes sparkled in such an adorable fashion is caused his heart to nearly stop as the light made her radiat an angelic aura. Something of unfounded beauty.

His heart beat accelerated, as his lips twisted into a smile which caused hers to grow more, with no more resistance to be had she and him rushed to the restaurant.

Though unknown to them someone up in top of a building was watching.

_______________________________________

"Alright good this is good, Just like that or I time to adjust the sunlight a little to make it shine brighter like in those cheesy romance animes."

"Rosaline, What the hell are you doing?"

"Being a wing woman, so what do you want? And aren't you supposed to be with miss psycho?"

"Ya, we're about to be meeting up here soon though are you seriously altering the sunlight above to shine on Tokha to make her seem like an angel?"

"Your damn right I am. I'm her sister I'm going to give her the best chances I can possibly give her at bagging this boy. And if that means playing God and messing with the sunlight a little then oh well."

"I.... I can't with you right now."

"Then don't. Just get the hell out of here so I can have my concentration back to 100%. I need to make little sis shine like the little angel she is."

"...... All right I'mma head out."

"Good, thank alpha. Now where did they go..... Damnit Higabuki Now I don't know where they're at!"

_______________________________________

*With the duo*

The two had entered a rather fancy looking restaurants, as they where able to get there seats with Shido kind of sweating a little bit nervously considering that this was the most expensive and the most elegant restaurant in the entirety of their city, why Tokha was just vibing like this was just some standard McDonald's was something Shido couldn't understand... Well that was until...

"Hehe, hello Tokha, looks like you're back already This makes once every week you've come by our establishment. I'm guessing you want the usual?" Asked the oddly attractive waitress.

"Yes please!"

"And you young man? What would you desire from us?"

"Ahh... I'll take this Fried Chicken sandwich please."

"Alright, And what is the drink You both would like?"

"Cherry slushy!"

"I'll just take water."

"Alright, We will have it ready in just a moment."

She walked away as the same nervousness began to creep back up into Shido, he looked at his date who was happily smiling and grinning as she looked at him.

"So Shido how are you doing?"

"Good, though You kind of threw me for a loop when you wanted to come here all of a sudden."

"Oh was it bad?"

"Oh no, no, no. Its fine, It's just that this place is kind of expensive and also extremely fancy. I usually don't come here only on special occasions like for my sister's birthday."

"Oh I see, well me and mom along with my siblings usually come here from time to time, After all it's not that expensive."

'Just that sandwich was 2500 yen (17.30 Dollar) not even counting sides.'

Giving a sigh the boy looked up only to hear static.

[Shiro, can you hear us?]

"Ya... What took you so long?"

[There seemed to be a powerful energy field outside that interrupted our frequency waves and being able to connect to your earpiece, but now that your inside we can help.]

"Alright that's good to know. However as of now I think I can handle this, but if I start to fail you can quickly lend assistance right?"

[You sure Shido?]

Looking back at the girl, Shido saw once again the light of the sun shine threw the window, as her form glowed as she basked in the beautiful gold glow.

Her gentle laugh remembered him of the stories of angels, and Once again fell into a trance, So much so that he didn't even notice that the earpiece was staticking, and the voice of the crew glitching out the high heaven before transmission completely cut.

"Ya."

"Hmm something wrong Shido?"

"Oh i-its nothing."

"Alright if you say so."

The two sat there as Tokha was eagerly waiting and Shido was just trying to unwrap his mind from all the seemingly supernatural encounters he was having on this date.

Though know it wasn't always silence, Because the two of them would instantly spark atle chatter which would see me they go on for quite a few minutes with some conversations extending on to a half hours worth of time.

They easily went over their favorite foods, what their life was like in school, and even some parts about their families.

Shido was definitely interested in knowing Tokha's family, not because of just his mission, but also because if he was seriously going to be getting into an intimate relationship with Tokha. He needed to know every part of his partner's background including her family, and Also considering that her big brother scared him more than the grim reaper ya he wanted to get on friendly terms with him as quickly as possible.

Though he had to wonder, from what his sister told him Spirits coming to the world with no family. Or at least most do, which always left the crew wondering how she was accepted into the family, was it the mother who took her in? Or maybe one of the siblings found her and brought her in? Which is this was the case it also left more questions, where they spirits? Humans? Or where they the three irregulars.

The very last one seemed to be the most likely, sense Tokha's appearance and strength would most likely scare any human, and also most normal spirits, and considering that there was a perfect three individuals That seemed to spawn out of nowhere, with them Just magically take her in. Led many of the crew, mainly Kotori. To believe that this was possibly the three irregulars just in the form of humans or without their Astral dresses on.

So if that was the case, Shido would be able to meet them, but That's where things get tricky, He doesn't know what he's going to do once he meets them He doesn't know what they're going to do when they meet him It was a guess which can only be hypothesized. It was like taking a gun and going into a dark room full of targets and expecting to shoot one set target out of thousands, There were too many possibilities that could happen.

'Im thinking way too much into this, Even if they are the irregulars as Kotori says, they're still Tokha's family members. Eventually I will have to meet them and say my peace. Which honestly maybe won't be that bad.'

"Hello, your food is now ready."

Shido snapped out of his though as the duo looked as the waitress placed the plates of food down as Tokha began to drool a little at the amazing smell.

Her plate's were quite delicious looking with her main plate being that of various types of seafood, and her side being kinako bread. Which was her favorite food from what she told him.

And Shido well... He got a pretty good looking sandwich that's for sure.

Thing was freaking massive with it being basically the size of his entire hand in terms of area but it was like 6 in tall, which honestly surprised him but considering that he paid almost $19 for the damn thing, doesn't surprise him. Well it does but you get it right?

"Alright let's eat!"

The rival to saber began to any percent speed run Her entire buffet before her. Taking bite out of the juicy lobster, and various shrimp that were on her plate, Well also scarfing down her bread at insane levels of speed.

Shido Who hasn't even taken a bite out of his sandwich couldn't help but sweat drop When he sold how much of the plate remained after one round with Tokha, She easily devoured an entire 1/4 of the entire selection before her and that was something he was unable to comprehend.

Was her stomach a black hole or something? This was ridiculous But then again after all that he's seen as of late yeah guess this fits right in there doesn't it.

"Cowe on shiwo!! Twy wt!!"

"Tokha You shouldn't eat when your mouth's full."

So she devoured the food and spoke again.

"Come on Shido, try it! I want to know from you how it tastes!"

"All right all right all right I'm going I'm going."

Taking a bite the boys taste bubs where assaulted by various different flavors that all seeped together to create an extremely good sandwich, the sudden widening of his eyes was all that Tokha needed to see as she was happy with the reaction she ended up getting.

They would spend the next few minutes eating their food talking has they always did, before they ended up finishing up, where the waitress would come around to collect The bill and when Shido was about to and his card Tokha already beat him to it placing down a card she got from her sister.

The waitress giggled at this with her eyes glancing to the boy who seemed to be a bit embarrassed, but she didn't care, whether it be boy or a girl doesn't matter who pays the bill, So long as they had a good time that's over their establishment needs.

So with it being paid after some time they stood up and went out of the restaurant. Shido looked towards Tokha who seemed to be thinking as they looked towards the sky.

"So Shido anywhere else you want to do?"

"Hmm well maybe somewhere quiet?"

"Oh I know just the spot!"

Snagging his hand she spirited and the original process was repeated, with the boy being dragged as she lead the way. Darting around corner after corner until they ran into the woods where there they saw a gorgeous hidden gem.

Pink cherry blossom trees sprouted and stretched all throughout the forest, A path was carved presumingly for tourists who wants to come through this area.

Tokha took Shido deep into this forest of beauty as they came across a remote section with no path whatsoever, instead a crystal clear pond rested near it as a nice spot to sit layed bare before them.

Tokha set the boy beside her as she looked towards him, the two now in a silent environment with no one to even bare witness to there forms.

"So what do you want to talk about Shido?"

"Ahh, well....."

"Well what?"

".... Tokha, this has been... Amazing, all of this. It's amazing. The food, the conversations everything... And I must say... You look beautiful in that dress of yours."

Tokha blushed as she heard this, her pointer fingers pushed against one another as she looked away shyly and also a bit embarrassed.

"Well I wanted to wear something to knock your socks off and show you how much this means... Because besides my brother, sister, and mother, You seem to be the only other person who accepts me."

"Tokha... I know you're a spirit."

"Huh!?"

The girl became startled as she was going to stand but stopped when Shiro grabbed her hand.

"I've always known, I was there when you appeared. And ever since the day you came into this world I couldn't stop thinking about you. Truth be told Tokha Even though you're a spirit you're way out of my league."

_______________________________________

*On the Fraxinus*

"Commander Tokha's happiness meter is rising."

"All vitals seem to be good as well, Shido seems to be making his way."

"Hmph, he had better." Kotori sat there watching on the screen, she was nervous that Shido asked to do this All by himself without their assistance but seems like he had this in the bag, her big brother was really something else.

"Looks like shin will make it alive after all." Reine pointed out.

"Ya, but I can already tell this is going to be a multiple part series of dates."

"How so?"

"Simple, Shido will probably not be able to kiss her sense well that would kind of make a bad impression as of now, remember Tokha still has her mother and if what she says is true She seems to be the more kind of traditional parental figure. Having her daughter having her first kiss taken on her first date would probably twist her thoughts in the wrong way and Shiro we'll have hell to pay for it. So it's probably best if he doesn't steal her spirit powers away as of now."

"True. But I've been wondering if she even needs them sealed to begin with." The crew members couldn't help but nod in agreement as well. Ever since she's joined the family Her spirit energy hasn't gone out of control nor has she caused any spatial quakes, which honestly leads them to believe that maybe her spirit powers was sealed somehow.

"Ya, I get what you mean. But at the same time This isn't about sealing spirit power."

"It's not?"

"Nope, More like it's out of pure love. My moron of a brother. Has fell for Tokha whether he likes to admit it or not."

Kotori couldn't help but give a slight giggle, here he was meant to Make the spirits fall for him to allow them to live a normal life by sealing their spirit powers to prevent them from being hunted down like wild animals. And yet he was charmed. From the first moment his eyes laid upon her glowing form Her brother was charmed by the youngest of Luna's line of children.

'Your hopeless sometimes Shido, though if this makes you happy. Then it's worth it in the end.'

_______________________________________

*Back with Tokha and Shido.*

"Shido, What do you mean by that?"

"It means what I've said by it, Tokha You're easily the most beautiful girl I've seen. Your smart, a bit airheaded, but you are pure, kind, accepting not to mention beautiful. You were attacked by those girls in the mech armor However I could never understand why they did that. Shirley attacking another when they have no idea to why they're here is a crime in it of itself. But now that we've talked for all this time and have gone on this date I can see who you truly are, You're not just some destructive monster like they make you out to be. You're just like the rest of us, If people can accept that then that's a crime. Because you're the furthest thing away from a monster or something that is evil in nature. You are a girl who every guy thinks of in their dreams."

"Shido..." Her voice quivered on the cusp of surprise and happiness. To think the boy who approached her to ask her on this date wasn't doing it for some malevolent alternative motive because now he sat here pouring his heart out to her.

"You're seriously amazing Tokha, But now that I sit here I realize just how lucky I was to be able to go on a date with you. You see as of late I've been scared concerned for my sister, an adjusting to this new world I found myself in. But now sitting here with you I have a new reasons of purpose. You're not the monsters the world makes you out to be, You are living breathing people just like us You're just misguided or mistreated. And if that is a crime to be made a monster and then be punished for it I won't stand for it. I'll help every spirit I need, I'll save everyone I'll ever need to. Because Tokha, You've shown me that. You've shown me the light that's on this new side of the road, So thank you truly."

"Oh Shido!"

Tokha tackled the boy into a hug as he was thrown to the ground, He layed there surprised as she layed on top of him, hugging his chest but he smiled and hugged her back.

"Thank you thank you thank you thank you!! I was nervous at the first person that I would go out with on a date would reject me or worse.... The only people who have ever accepted me were my family. I thought that you could have ended up like those people in the armor, trying to hurt me but even despite that I wanted to believe that this could happen. And it looks like I was proven right You truly are a kind human, The kindest I've ever met. Thank you, for accepting me. And taking me on this date."

"I should be thinking you, You've shown me a lot and answered questions that I needed answers. So I guess we both got something out of this didn't we Tokha."

"Ya we did."

They sat there as the looked into one another's eyes, the wind silently blew over them as the light shined overhead, they where basked in the light of the heavens as they looked upon one another's form.

Slowly however they leaned down towards the other, there minds on autopilot and there hearts beating at a thousand miles per hour.

Before there lips connected, but no grand light appeared, The only thing that appeared was the shock that came about the two of them as the delicate soft lips of Tokha pressed against the lips of Shido.

It was only then that when they realized what the hell happened They pulled away blushing like crazy.

'Oh my god, I just had my first kiss!!'

'YOU JUST KISSED HER!!'

Tokha flipped off of Shido was she Sat there giggling, and Shido could already feel the terror crawling into himself, the image of her mother's glare was something that froze his soul over.

"Ahh Tokha..."

"Hehehe my first kiss!"

"Tokha...."

"I'm so happy!"

"Tokha....."

"Hehe that was- oh what is it Shido?"

".... How is your mother going to react to this?"

"Hmmm I don't know, But she should be happy!"

"R-really?"

"Well yeah why wouldn't she?"

"Because your usually not supposed to kiss on your first date."

"Oh...... Well there can be exceptions, I mean you're an exception after all So who cares! It was magical!"

Shido couldn't help but feel that dread seeping even further, She was not understanding the gravity of the situation but seeing that giggling laughing expression, with such a gleamish innocent wonder it caused him just a sigh and laid back down.

If he brought her that kind of happiness, Oh well he'll handle the punishments.

'Guess my first date was a success after all... Though strangely I feel stronger for some reason. Why is that?'

"Hehehe my first- oh no..."

"What's wrong Tokha?"

"Ahhh Shido I need to get back! It's almost sunset!"

"Oh, does your mom want you back beforehand?"

"Ya!"

Shido smiled "All right I'll take you back."

"You will?"

"Ya, why wouldn't I? It's only common courtesy to take your date back after all." He leaned down and extended his hand out.

Tokha blushed, but took his extended hand.

"All right now let's get you home."

"Ya!"

With that they both went on their merry way, reemerging onto the path as they quickly sprinted off with laughs and gleams being left in the air as they arrived a few minutes later with Tokha thanking Shido as she went inside.

Shido Who still set out there chuckled before turning and walking away, he hurried up to his house as to avoid not being there before night fully fell and to greet him upon his return was Kotori and Reine.

"Seems like you did a good job on your first date Shin." Reine stated as she sat a cup of coffee on the table.

"Ya you did, though You threw everyone for a loop when you went for that kiss."

"Aghh... Ya... About that. Look sorry if I made any miscalculations but... It felt right in the moment."

"No one's going to give you problems for this Shin, in fact it's actually good, Because we've also confirmed something as well."

"That is?"

"Well You were able to take or at least seal alittle of Tokha's spirit power inside you, However considering that nothing major happens to her This was most likely a portion of it meaning that our other hypothesis was right. It looked like she was sealed by some other force, But not in the way that you can do it. Our best guess is that whatever is this other force was only sealed a small portion of her true spirit power Just enough for her to have access to her powers but not enough to where it can cause special quakes. You seem to take the part that was leaking out so she still has her powers but it's going to be a little bit weaker now because of that kiss."

"Oh.... Well it's not going to be bad for her? What if she gets attacked?"

"Since you didn't take all her spirit power the remaining spirit power should be able to replace the missing energy. So she won't be handicapped for too long."

"That's good."

"On Another note, Shin, Now that you've done this with Tokha You should be expecting a much more complicated life from here on out. Because as of now we've been able to locate [Black Blur] and [Hermit]."

"Wait really!?"

"Ya, they're currently making rounds throughout on to the construction zone not too far from here, they're hopping from building to building However it seems weird unlike previous movement from [Black Blur] This one seems to be much more focused on something, like she's heading to a specific destination with [Hermit]."

"I see, am I going to be tasked with sealing them?"

"No, [Black Blur] It's far too much of a threat. If you go after them you may be able to seal [Hermit] but definitely not [Black Blur] You got off easy last time. Recent footage of her shows that she was able to completely dismantle an entire squadron of AST soldiers. They were completely powerless against her, Her speed makes her to wear she's basically untrackable It's only during brief moments of combat where she has to make precise quick attacks that were able to even capture footage of her but again they're only Blurs. She could easily kill you, or worse."

"I have to agree with Kotori on this Shin, It would be best to avoid them as of now."

"Then we just leave them to the AST's hunt for them!?"

"As far as we can tell, They won't be able to lay a hand on either of them. [Hermit] is being protected by [Black Blur], They have no way of being able to truly apprehend them or put them down. And it also seems like the AST is slowly leaning off of hunting them, probably because of [Black Blur]'s  efforts to avoid combat as much as possible, those certain members of the AST are more active in their hunt."

"Damnit, There has to be something we can do?"

"Unless you want to confront them again it's best to just leave it." Kotori glanced into her brothers eyes. "You remember what happened last time? If she decides to get more violent and she can because there were clearly weapons on her, she I'll critically injure you. Shido. If you're put in critical condition You won't be able to help the spirits. Not until you fully recover, So please just think about it. I don't want you rushing in only to get killed or hurt, without you there's no way to peacefully provide the spirits a way of living a normal life."

"..... Hold on Kotori, You said that Tokha's spirit power was sealed by another right?"

"Well ya, And I get where you're You're trying to go with this trust me we've made all sorts of attempts to locate the one responsible for that. As far as we're considered such a phenomenon can only be brought about by the three irregulars."

"Then do you think it would be possible for us to try and have one of them Work with us?"

"....."

"...."

Both members stopped all forms of talking at they looked upon Shido.

"Think about it, with their power saving the spirits would be a small inconvenience for them. Not to mention with stuff like this They would be perfect allies."

"Yes that's true Shin But there is also danger that comes along with this, We don't know their motives nor do we know the full extent of their power. They may be the most powerful spirit that I've ever appeared on the face of the planet but it also makes them wild cards. Sure being able to seal spirit energy is something unheard of except for you, But that comes with its own slew of problems. Because what if they decide to turn that sealed energy into a weapon? Or what if they decide to turn on us? Who could stop them? Could you stop them? Because remember the one designated as [Demon King] was able to launch an attack which came from the Indian Ocean, it hit the Fraxinus only seconds later after it's launch nearly knocking us out of the sky with repairs taking over several weeks to fully repair. We're not just talking about normal spirits, shin. We're talking about being which can be considered gods. If their spirit quake hadn't happened in the Indian Ocean there is no telling what kind of catastrophic damage they would have caused by just some entering the world. That's not even talking about the power they have now, which we have no idea what the limit is."

"I get that, But if these are the same people that took in Tokha then they also have a heart. Tokha was rejected by the world She was hunted by the AST and yet they took her in. Think about it why would they take her in? Just to use her as a weapon? What purpose would that serve? If they already have this kind of power what's the point of using another? No There is something special about them, If we ever make contact we should try and convince them to join. They could help us save the spirit instead of having them being hunted for the crime of just existing!"

Kotori and Reine sat there, They were trying to explain to the boy the dangers I can come with them trying to communicate with the Irregulars but his conviction was unwavering and it placed a smile on Kotoris face that her brother was bold enough to stand in the face of threats like these and try and find an end to them.

"Very well Shido."

"Kotori you sure?"

"Yes, Reine, I'm sure. Shido does have a point with seemingly new spirits are rising every second stronger than the last having them assist us in our endeavor of helping the spirits will be irreplaceable. Having them with us on our goal will allow us more flexibility with future endeavors. But Shido I hope you know that this responsibility will fall on you, After all you are the one who asked for this."

"Then so be it."

"*Smiles* That's my brother for you."

"Well I'm heading off to bed. Good night Kotori."

"Night bro."

With his final step he was gone and was now in his room."

"You think that's a wise idea? You know the risk of this right?"

"I do with every choice come some form of risk but he is right. Their assistance will be a great assistance for us moving forward I just hope that we're able to communicate with them and have our point straighten out."

Reine said nothing as it was already said.

The coin was flipped, whether it lands on heads or tails will decide their fate.

They're just hoping it lands on heads.

_______________________________________

*With Higabuki.*

"I'm glad you could make it Demon King-Kun."

"What do you desire in meeting me here Kurumi."

"Well, There is a thorn in my side that will eventually become a problem for you as well."

"Oh ya and what is this "problem"?"

"Her name is Mana Takamiya"

"And why is she of any concern?"

The fully revealed beast one stood tall, his golden form exposed to the heavens to see as his arms crossed while he stared upon Kurumi.

"Because, she is rather annoying in her pursuits of me, she's even killed some of my clones."

"I see."

"And since we're partners there is no telling how she will react."

"Well, If she will be that much of a  problem then she could be easily sorted out."

"I expected nothing less of you Demon King-Kun."

"Though tell me Kurumi, why haven't you just killed her?"

"She's annoyingly good at killing me."

"Then tell me something Do you desire the power to be able to kill her?"

"Hmmm~ What do you mean by that?"

"Your power draws from the time of others, correct."

"Yes."

"Then I figured as partners I would lend you a little helpful hand."

Higabuki drawled on the time of one of the demon gods, He took about 10 years worth of its time and condensed it into a ball, a ball that emanated a deadly red glow.

Kurumi could already feel her angel trying to devour that sphere of pure time, she when he tossed it Infront of her, her shadow consumed it as her clock eye began to spin rapidly.

"You devour the time of humans, but What you just got from me was a small speck of time from a demon god. Make use of what I've given you."

"Well I must say, thank you Higabuki-kun~, you sure do know how to make a woman happy with just the right gift."

"Hmph, I am simply making it to wear these inconveniences or of no such bother to me. Though if she does bare her fangs at me I will rip them from her mouth."

"Then it's decided isn't it."

"Yes contact me if anything else is to be discussed."

"Will do."

"And kurumi."

"Hmm?"

"I wouldn't recommend that you medal with [Black Blur] even with the time I've given you I'll tell your power will explosively increase It will not be enough to kill her. And she will easily best you."

"Thank you for the warning."

"Also next time we do this let's not meet on top of a building like this We could easily get spotted by passing air carriers."

"Then how about your room next time?"

"... Sure."

"Fufufu, looking forward to it Demon King-Kun ~."

"You flirt too much."

"I'm just being ✨playful ✨."

"Why are you sparkling again?"

"Dont know."

"*Sighs*"

"See you next meeting Higabuki-kun."

"Yes, see you next meeting as well Kurumi."

The Nightmare disappeared into the darkness as she did the beast one bearer side and turn around.

"Come on out I can sense your presence."

"So you knew I was here?"

"The whole time yes."

The figure revealed themselves before him as he looked upon the human that stood weapons at the ready to fight him.

And as this girl looked upon him with a killer glare all the boy of Luna could do was...

"Hahahahahahaha.... Ahahahahahahah!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

He laughed in her face as she kept her composure but her gut suddenly twisted when he stopped, and his glare intensified upon her soul.

"Put your toys down girl, unless you wish to burn like the trash that you are."

And there you have it Ladies and gentlemen this newest chapter is completed I hope you guys enjoyed it.

Now I know it's been forever since I've updated and I get that life just been a b**** as of late with so many twists and turns but for the past few days I've been watching a lot of anime to help with future story ideas and just improving my overall mood to give you guys this Now from this point moving forward I should also clarify that there's going to be some pretty big changes to the story as you would expect when characters this powerful come into the plot And I hope you guys are ready for that.

Also the relationship between Tokha and Shido has begun and a little bit of festering between Higabuki and Kurumi has also began, But sadly our dearest love goddess has yet to find her loved one. Don't worry things will change rather quickly after all we only got a few more episodes before things start getting really spicy!!

Now with everything being said I wish you guys a happy 4th of July and please have a wonderful day.
