Chapter 35 - A Marrige Proposal Gone Wrong.
When Kurayami found Akeno, Elektra was a little cranky as she had gotten dragon flue. She sneezed and Akeno calmed her. Kurayami sneaked behind her and got her in a big hug. She knew it was him and she smiled. "Kurayami." He looked around and kissed her on the cheek. She smiled and he showed her what was in his hand.
It was a swirling mass of darkness and it was more intense than when he got it. Akeno looked at it and he grinned. "This is Night Reflection and I have spent the last week boosting it for your sake. Now it is up to you." She took it in her hands and it entered her chest and she passed out. He took her in his arms and looked at Elektra. "How are you girl?" She sneezed and a growl came out her throat..
"So you are mad about your sickness. I would be too. Just don't get Tyrant sick when he wakes up." Elektra growled as she hated Tyrant. He was just too strong and now it seems he was going through an evolution. She returned to Akeno's pact as staying out was just shitty. Kurayami visited all of his team and the first was Kuroka. She took another one of the pills and Azazel collected them as it gave clues to what was used in her experiments.
He entered the lab and looked at Kuroka puking in a bucket. Azazel looked up and saw Akeno passed out. "Well, it seems you gave it to her. I wonder what the boosting you did on it will cause." He put down Akeno and Kuroka used some demonic power to clean her face and mouth. "Nya. That is terrible. Azazel nodded. "Well from the first batch I analyzed it and found some things in it."
Kurayami sat down and put Akeno's head on his lap. "What?" Azazel picked up a report and looked up. "Well, we know they were trying to make super devils. This has a few ingredients that increase power reserves and yet at the same time several drugs that even I don't understand. It is bad to say the least." Kurayami looked at Kuroka a little worried "Is it threatening to her life." Azazel shook his head. "No. Yet after this we may need the entire research."
Kuroka looked up and said something they had to know. "Shirone has it. It is in her hair pin the entire research is on it." Kurayami and Azazel looked at each other and grinned. "Well seems we need got a goal now." Kuroka stopped puking and looked up. "I just care about Shirone. You can have the thing." Kurayami stood up and took her long hair and tied it in a ponytail.
They were going to keep talking however one of the many wards placed at the edge of the fallen territory went off showing someone had tripped them. Kurayami looked over. "Who?" Azazel messed with a console and saw three people. "One of the four great satans, Leviathan, Grayfia Lucifuge, and Souji the swordman. What an interesting development. Kurayami, you and I are heading out." Azazel got the Downfall Dragon Spear out of his pocket yet Kurayami looked over.
"You sure it is ready?" Azazel grinned. "No time like the present." He sent a message to Esdeath, Raynare, Azrael and the cadre in Grigori. "This is Azazel. We got three devils on our turf. I am heading out in case of a fight to send out the Baraqiel class. Let's go Kurayami." Both of them teleported to the edge of the fallen territory and before they got their Kurayami stopped him. "Give me a sec. I may have something in incase a fight breaks out."
Azazel looked over interested. "What is it?" Kurayami pointed at Shin. "When I used Celestial Slash Dogs for the first time I unlocked another armor. I fuse with the Incinerate Anthem and make a holy and cursed armor although it is untested." Azazel grinned. "Make both Abyss side and you have a spot in the top 5." Kurayami suddenly stopped. "Wait. Are we not forgetting something?" Azazel stopped and thought about it.
"Something about darkness right?" Kurayami nodded. "I think it was greek." Sudely they both simitasnisrly spoke. "OH SHIT. THE HELM OF DARKNESS. We still have it." Both of the spread their wings and Azazel looked at Kurayami's 7 sets. "Well seems you are on your way to become a super fallen." They both headed out and landed and retracted their wings about 100 meters away.
They both walked forward until Leviathan, Grayfia and Souki were just 7 meters apart. Azazel smiled and looked over. "Pretty dumb to head over deep into Fallen Turf. You are surrounded to say the least, so why are you here?" Leviathan raised her hands and spoke. "We are not here on aggression. I came as a diplomat." Kurayami looked at Grayfia and nodded.
"I see you told them about me. I guess this is about us owning 4 Longinus and possibly more right?" The moment he said that the three devils were not surprised as they knew that. What would they say that they have 6? Azazel shrugged "Not much point keeping it secret as on missions even a fool could figure that out. Well, if you are not here to fight then let's deal."
Kurayami sighed as he hoped to try out his newest armor, but can't always get what you want. The three devils all entered Grigori and were seated at a table. They were facing Azrael, Azazel and Kurayami and to say the least they were unnerved seeing Azrael. During the great war he fought on heaven's side, but he fell halfway and turned traitor fighting for Grigori. After the war he vanished. Leviathan coughed and smiled.
"Well let's get started. We are not here to make peace, but more so to have a better non aggression pact." Kurayami looked up to the black haired girl and felt she was strong. "Well Leviathan, what if devils cause trouble for us like you have. You caused quite a stir showing up as you are one of the four great satants. If things had gone wrong you three would be dead."
Souji looked at Kurayami and he noticed his muscles were tense and his hand was ready to hold a sword. The black dog looked calm, but like his wielder was ready to fight. Grayfia looked at Kurayami and just asked. "I would like to know why you were really in Kuoh Town." Azrael tapped his finger on the table and looked in her eyes. "I sent him to take something for us. Thank you for being incompetent."
The three devils felt they were not being taken as a threat and they were not wrong. Grigori these days was teaming with talent and in a war their 6 Longinus users were going to be a great asset. Even though Lavinia was not really a member of Grigori she might as well be. They also have two of the four fiends along with Azrael. Leviathan looked at the Angel of death and asked.
"May I ask what did he take?" Azaael smiled and spoke into the combs. "Tobio. Head to the first level in room 12." The devils waited and from the door entered Tobio with a Red Gauntlet on his left hand. The three devils were shocked. Leviathan went from cheerful to serious. "You admit to entering Kuoh Town and taking a Longinus that belongs to us." Kurayami scoffed. "Yours? Until I see it in the hands of a devil it is free enterprise. Not the only one we took."
Azazel smiled. "Yup. You devils were the ones who left a Longinus in your town without claiming him. Although I guess we go over this non-aggression pact. We have one with the Shinto Gods and they took a neutral stance on this. If we break out in war we have the rest of the pantheon." The devils had some dealings with the Shinoto gods, but a non-aggression pact was a good card.
"Well Azazel. You did take a Longinus, so don't we deserve compensation for that?" The three fallen angels were about to break out laughing while Tobio felt overwhelmed as so much power was in the room. "Tobio. Calm yourself" Draig's voice rang out and Leviathan took a chance. "Draig. May I ask who your old host was?" Draig's voice rang out. "Some kid named Issei Hyoudo. He was terrible in all ways, talent nonexistent, magic zero, mentality was also bad"
Graufia looked directly at Kurayami and decided to ask. "Were you sincere that you did not want a war?" Kurayami raised his hands. "War is fun, but I rather just take some missions from time to time and collecting beasts." Leviathan noticed Shin and asked. "Are you a beast master?" Kurayami nodded. "Yes." She thought about it and made a call back to Sirzechs. It was a mental one, so they could not hear it.
She talked on it for a minute and she looked up. "Well if we get this non-aggression pact we need two things from both sides." Azazel looked at their greedy eyes and he frowned. "What are they?" Leviathan gave an interesting proposal. "How about a marriage from both sides? We get a female devil to marry a male fallen and in the reverse. How about Kurayami marries Rias Gremory and the female, the one known as Raynare, married a noble-born devil."
She did not know Raynare was Azrael's granddather or that she was engaged. However she just pissed off two beings you do not want to piss off. A black miasma surged from Azrael and his eyes turned black, black veins popped in his skin and the three devils were frozen in fear. Kurayami was not much better and dense flames were surging from his body and blades were surging from the shadows caused by Azrael.
Azrale stood up and looked Leviathan in the eyes. "I will forgive you for talking of marrying my granddaughter to some devil and the fact that she is already engaged." Kurayami looked at them and spoke. "She is my fiancé and the fact that you would propose that makes me want to turn the three of you into porcupines." Azazel slammed his hand on the table and nodded.
"Very good points, but you two need to relax. As for marriage it would be a good idea, yet the only male you would want is Kurayami and would Sirzechs really marry his sister to a fallen angel like Kurayami?" Leviathan was panting and she looked up. "It was only a proposition."
Kurayami spoke up. "If you want me to marry a devil you don't need to do anything. I already am in a few years." Leviathan looked over and was intrested "May I ask who?" Kurayami shook his head. "No, but I can tell you that she is a former stray devil." They frowned as they wanted a devil allied to their cause and a stray could careless. Azazel stood up. "Well you pissed off these two, so how about some compensation?"
The three devils were shocked. Souji stood up, yet before he could move Azrael grabbed his head."Sit down." Azrael didn't use his death powers, because if he had Souji would be dust. He sat with cold sweat running down his neck. Grayfia looked at Azazel and frowned. "What do you mean, compensation?" Azazel looked at Kurayami and sighed. "Give the kid a cool beast from hell. As for Azrael, what do you want?" Azrael looked over and shook his head.
"Peace and quiet." He stood up and left. Leviathan frowned and looked at Kurayami who was waiting for what they would give him. Leviathan called back and after a minute of talking she looked a little pissed off and offered him one that he wanted. His eyes began to shine when the words came out of her mouth.
"Sirzechs owns a Qilin and it recently bred and one of the offspring is special. Is that good enough." Kurayami got dead serious and looked at her. "What color is it?" She nodded. "Black and gold." Azazel sighed as he saw the stars in Kurayami's usually empty eye balls. Azazel coughed and he took attention back to him.
"Well the by gets his pet and I will sighed a better cease fire. If we want true piece we need heaven on board and I don't think we are in anyway ready to meet up of that kind." The cease fire was sighed and Kurayami would get his pet by the end of the day. As for the three devils they went back to their territory and this meeting proved how strong Azrael was.
The devils really wanted to avoid a war now as Azrael was confirmed to have returned to Grigori and that his granddaughter was to not be targeted or messed with.
