Aster couldn't believe the display he was seeing right now, and he had seen a lot of weird things being a high priest and all, but this was unusual for even him. If he hadn't been holding Kite back right now, he would even be kneeling to the entity in front of him. He had heard stories, even prophecies, of people like their founder, the holy mother, that had immense spiritual powers that could change the world. He just never thought he was going to witness this himself. The way this girl, who was even contracted to a demon of all people, glowed at the moment, made him almost stare in awe. She was radiating in Astral energies, as the blue energies had enveloped her and made her float millimeters over the ground. Her hair, blue as it already was, were lifted up in the air by the energies themselves.

"Gi-Gili" Declan Akaba then spoke in disbelief which made Aster turn to him for a sec, before returning to the girl again.

So, her name is Gili hu? I have to remember that. Then an angry growl could be heard from Kite as he got free from Aster's grip. Unlike before, he was injured, by having several gashes on his hand and one on his left cheek. Made sense since their healers hadn't gotten to any of them yet.

"What is going on here?!" Kite then hissed "Why is she protecting that beast? How can she reject my attacks?".

Aster hummed surprised at this. Kite couldn't see the Astral energies around her? He couldn't see the barrier around her and the demon?

"Father Phoenix!" a voice then could be heard as two girls appeared beside him.

Both blond haired and sisters to boot. One dressed in a blue and white coat and had yellow eyes, while the other in a very colored jumpsuit and had red eyes. They looked at Aster with pure worry. That until they noticed Gili and gasped in pure... horror maybe? Aster was not sure. Not that he could blame them.

"Father Phoenix, this is..." the girls uttered in unison now.

"Grace, Gloria, show some respect! This girl is apparently the reincarnation. No, maybe even the newest vessel of the holy mother herself. She holds the harmonics powers" Aster ordered to his two enforcers who of course kneeled down right away. The priest turned quickly around in the surroundings, as he spotted their last member hiding in the background.

"Saya Sasayama. You come out as well! They aren't our enemies any longer, and Kite needs healing" he said rather loud, making the girl who was hiding behind the nearest tree come closer.

She did look extremely scared and even though she did come closer, Saya did hide behind the high priest. Just for safety. Not that Aster really could blame her. If she was half as talented as people says she was in healing and spiritual pressure, she would see this phenomenon as well.

"My lord!" two voices then uttered as two ninjas, clearly the ones who had kept the Tyler sisters occupied earlier, appeared. Close at the edge of the barrier. Aster hummed at that. This Gili didn't see them as allies apparently.

"Stay away!" Declan ordered "Gili is... she is... ". He let out a painful groan as his hands hit the ground. All in order to keep himself from not collapsing to the ground.

"Declan..." that was the first words Aster had even heard this Gili speak, since her power awoke.

It ran with an almost godly ring to it. Like an angel really. She had floated in front of the demon by as she bowed down and lifted him up, so he was standing on his feet once again. It was clear the touch from her was the only thing keeping the demon boy standing.

"Feed from me Declan" this Gili then pledged. Her hands were at his cheeks now.

"No, I can't ask you for that Gili" Declan uttered in a distressed tone, as he weakly tried to get from her grip.

Not that it helped. Seconds later, their lips did crash together in an almost desperate kiss. From the girl's point of view. Aster was not sure how to take this display in front of him at all. Everything here went against his teachings. Demons and humans were not supposed to be affectionate towards each other, and especially not holy entities and demons. It was pure blasphemy against god. Not that he could stop it though. The energy that floated around the girl got instead absorbed by the demon, ironically, and soon the girl wasn't floating. She landed on the ground in front of Declan, smiling up at him, like he was her everything. Her sun so to speak. She even hugged him, and as she did, so did all the spells she had been using. The barrier around them disappeared into particulars of blue light. The demon boy did return her affections as well.

"Gili, you are very reckless" the boy utters "I told you, feeding like that, your life with diminish. I do not wish to feed of your soul...!". Aster hummed puzzled at that. A demon who did not feed of his contractor's soul? What was he dealing with here?

"I will kill you all!" Kite then suddenly hissed and ran towards the pair with lifted sword. Now that the spiritual barrier was gone, he had access to that.

"NO! Kite! They are not our enemies!" Aster yelled as he tried to stop him. Ironically, Gili was the one stopping him. In the same way, he had stopped her when he and Kite took her from that school. Wow, she learns fast.

"Kite Tenjo!" She said with that godlike angel voice of hers. "I am not your enemy".

"Of course, you are! You are protecting that demon!" Kite hissed as he tried breaking free from the spell, she had put on him. It wasn't possible, since Gili still had her right hand on top of his head and made him stay paralyzed in place.

"But still, that does not make us enemies" Gili concluded in a sad tone "Your hatred for demons will one day be your undoing. Unless you change your ways".

"Just shut up! Why should I listen to you? That beast has a spell on you!" Kite sneered fiercely, which made Declan growl rather offensive, but he didn't do anything since Gili clearly hadn't told him too.

"I see. You clearly have had a great loss in your life. It is understandable that you are angry on the demons. However, not all demons are evil. It is like saying that all humans are the same. Evil and corrupt" Gili told him and smiled.

"Says you, but I haven't seen a good demons ever!" Kite growled annoyed "And you know nothing about me, so don't pretend you do!".

"You haven't been looking, that's all" Gili replied and sighed. Her hand roamed around his cheek "And I know everything. It is in your spiritual signature. Your father was a devil worshipper and wished for power. He summoned a demon, one from the royal family. An amazing feed indeed. Your father wanted power, and the demon granted it, by turning him into a demon, and thereby serving him. Your own father chased you that night. Wanting to kill you on His order...".

"Stop it! Stop reading my memories!" Kite yelled furiously "I don't wanna hear this! Just stop it!". Gili hummed slightly as she let go of a devastated Kite. He fell down to the ground, hiding his face in pure shame and distress.

"You know..." Gili began and kneeled down to Kite's level "Your brother wouldn't want you to be angry all the time. Hospitalized as he is, I know he doesn't want revenge on the demon who did this to both of you. He doesn't want to lose you too do you understand? If you fight the demons with anger and hatred in your heart, one day it will be your undoing".

Kite hissed angrily at first, but in the end, he nodded understanding. His grey eyes met Gili's blue eyes now.

"Who or what are you?" he then asked. Gili blinked a little confused.

"I don't... I Declan!" Gili then uttered in her own voice as she looked frantically around for the demon lord. It was like she suddenly couldn't see him.

"I am right here" Declan uttered as his arms wrapped around the confused girl "I am right here. Don't worry". Gili let out a relieved sigh as she leaned into his touch.

"Please... please don't leave me Declan".

That was all she managed to say before she passed out in his arms, to Declan's surprise and horror. The distressed expression he was having as he shouted her name over and over again, would melt even the cruelest of hearts.

"It is okay Declan Akaba. She is just fatigued I believe" Aster then said as he walked forward, passed Kite, and were now standing a meter away from the demon lord.

His two servants, the two ninjas were both prepared to fight him if he ever laid a hand on their lord at all. That was why Aster had stopped up.

"Leave!" Declan demanded harshly as he were carrying the passed girl in his arms. Clearly ready to defend the girl against them "You won't take my Gili away from me! Or send me back without her. I would rather die than live without her...".

"At ease Declan Akaba. Demon lord of the pride clan. I swear on the holy mother not to take your contractor away or to cause you two any harm. You will stay together" Aster said, and he were holding up his hands in peace.

He had already redrawn his sword and were currently unarmed. Declan let out a big sigh, but he was still holding the girl rather defensively. He clearly didn't trust him or them at all.

"You are getting her. Gili I mean" Declan then said in a cold tone "I know that is what you are here for. After she expressed all this insane spiritual powers, it would be understandable that an order such as yours, would want her powers, but... you are not getting it! She is mine! My beloved Gili. She is never going to be your weapon to use against my demonic brethren ...".

"I already told you that I was not going to take her away. I am a man of my word" Aster promised "Besides none of us in the order is capable to keep you or your contractor from each other, or against her will. You saw what she did to my colleague. Mentally he will not be able to battle for quite some time...".

"I... I am okay Phoenix... I just have a lot on my mind..." Kite mused slowly as he finally got up on his feet "But I will not battle her or that... that boy for quite some time. She knew everything about me, maybe she is... cure for Hart...".

"Yes maybe, but you both have to rest Kite" Aster replied and looked at the Tyler sisters. "Grace, Gloria, take Kite back with you to headquarters. Saya go with them to heal Kite. Deliver a message to the high priestess that I will return with a demon lord and his contractor very soon. If she has something against it, tell her I discovered the holy power Harmonics. She will know what I am talking about".

All the members of the Order nodded and bowed in respect before they all returned towards the headquarters. That left Aster alone with the three demons and Gili.

"I am not leaving with you!" Declan then hissed "By captivating me, Gili will...".

"Go berserk and kill us all" Aster ended and sighed "You don't know how much power this girl is having. I am not forcing any of you to come, that would be dangerous, but I suggest you consider it".

"Why? What kind of powers does my Gili have?" Declan then mused out "I am sure we can handle this ourselves. You just tried to kill me!".

"And for that I apologize" Aster said and bowed "I did not know this Gili was holding this much power. If I did, I would have gone around this another way. The power, however, is called Harmonics. It is extremely rare and very powerful. It enables the user to be connected to the spiritual world itself, and creates complete empathy with people, as she did with Kite. It harmonizes with the user's enemies and stops them from fighting. Thereby the name. Used correctly and great joy and harmony will happen. Used wrong however, and the world is doomed".

"How so? Gili would never want to doom anything" Declan hissed back.

"She empathizes with her opponent and that is great but used to much it leaves traces. People can lose their sense of self and wants to follow her. They will at some point start to crave this light, as they did our holy mother centuries ago" Aster replied with a sigh "After all where there is good, there has to be evil. That is where you come into the picture Declan Akaba. A demon and a human with celestial powers bound together by fate, is prophecies to change the world".

A,N: Well that is that chapter. Interesting right. Hopefully, I tried to make it less powerful. The harmonics power. That and Kite is not that influenced. He just questions his way of life in this moment. He will still kick bad demons' asses soon. Don't worry. The next chapter will hopefully be the story between the holy mother and the demon she was partnered with centuries ago. You properly already know who that is but would like your guesses anyway. Thank you so much for your time. Have a nice day.
