Highschool DxD: Rise of The Perverted Gremory
Chapter 9
Previously:
"Alright, follow me." the guard said, leading them to the gate, and waited a few seconds for the gate to the compound to open...
BOOOOM!
Now...
"Infiltration successful." Arturo said, a dark violet glow which covered his entire face gave way to see a small smile on the Devil's face.
He turned his gaze toward the Japanese long sword in his right hand, the blade was pure black in colour, the cross guard had four prongs bent out to form the shape of the manji which was pure black as well and the handle was black with violet patterns in between with a short chain link connected at the end of the handle, watching as the sword disappeared through the magic symbol which appeared at the tip of the blade.
'Who would've thought that it would work?' he thought, gazing at his blood filled left hand before he got up from his crouching position, 'Now, all I got to do is find her.' he concluded his thoughts before he began running toward the palace.
"It seems like he took the bait." A male in his late teens voiced out as he sat on a throne, his head propped up against his left fist, while his eyes were closed and he seemed to have an ever present smirk on his face.
"Indeed he has taken the bait, Yūshiro-sama. I'll have the our royal-"
"There's no need for that." Yūshiro cut her off as he stood up from his seat, "I'll deal with him." he ended as he opened his eyes to reveal menacing golden yellow eyes.
"What was that?!"
"An explosion!"
"Impossible?! On the west side?!"
"Attention you three!" the guard who was attending the girls began, "Go and check on the explosion and capture the culprit."
"Yes milady!" the three female guards saluted before vanishing in a swirl of leaves.
"Now, Princess Kunou and-" her eyes widened as she saw the place where Kunou and her group of friends were now void of any of them.
'Damn it! How could I let them out of my sight?!' she thought, frustrated with herself before she ran deeper into the compound, in search of them, not paying attention to the fading mist...
"How long do you think the illusion will last, Chrome-chan?" Kougyoku asked, as they sprinted toward the palace while dodging any Nekomata in their path.
"Not long but enough to give us a steady head start." Chrome answered truthfully, feeling a bit bad that her illusion couldn't buy them time the whole way.
"That is plenty Chrome-chan!" Kougyoku stated happily, getting nods of approval from the rest, seeing how disappointed Chrome seemed as she thought her illusions weren't good enough.
Chrome's cheeks gained a very light pink hue as she smiled warmly at her friends.
Yoruichi's eyes widened as Yukino finished her explanation, her eyes tearing up slightly before, not even a moment later, she managed to get a hold of her emotions as something her mother said made something in her mind click.
"If that was the reason why go through all this trouble?" She ask her mother perplexed.
Yukino sighed, knowing what her daughter was thinking, as she was in the same boat a few days ago, "You know how your brother is..." she gained a thoughtful look before it turned serious, surprising Yoruichi, "But it is something he has to do, that's if you want his approval?"
Yoruichi turned her gaze away from Yūkino, eyebrows furrowing cutely and a slight pout adorned her face as she couldn't deny what her mother said and turned her attention to the window, watching as a gentle breeze shook the leaves of a tree lightly.
'Knowing those two... I hope they don't end up killing each other.' Her heart ached at the thought of the two most important males in her life killing each other and the fact that they both loved showing off their strength against powerful opponents only increased her worry.
"You seem to care a lot about the Devil?" Yūkino pointed out, as she had been watching her daughter the entire time and picked up on a few things while they were talking but the most damning evidence was the look of pure concern and worry for her King and brother.
"Yes I do, Oka-chan," Yoruichi smiled fondly, surprising her mother as she had never seen Yoruichi produce a smile like that before, 'Sure, he is a perverted playboy with a gaming addiction but he has a heart of gold and appreciates me- no, all of us'
Yūkino stood there surprised and taken aback by her daughter's expression as she had never seen Yoruichi produce a smile like that before. And all for a man? Before Yoruichi ran away, she didn't show any interest in any male, rejecting every male who had the courage to ask her out as well as every arrange marriage, the latter being the reason she ran away in the first place.
"Yes Oka-chan, he changed me, or rather he changed my viewpoint on men." Yoruichi answered the question plastered on her mother's face, "I love him and no matter what happens today, I'm going to stay with him!" she exclaimed with determination.
Flashback Begins...
Two Years Ago
BOOOM!
Yoruichi found herself being flown back from the force of the explosion, but managed to flip herself in mid air and landed on the ground with her feet but still skidded back a few metres. she panted heavily as she gazed infront of her, noticing the dust cloud begin to settle as her opponents came into view.
The four Fallen Angels released their wings, the force clearing away the rest of the dust cloud, showing their rank with two of them having three sets and the other two sets of wings.
"You can't beat us, why don't you give up and let us have our fun already?" One of the three set Fallen Angel said, with a lecherous tone while the others grinned and laughed at what he said.
"Like hell I will give up you sick bastards!" Yoruichi scowled darkly at them.
"So you want to be punished more," and all four summoned a light spear, "that's fine by us as well!" all four threw their spears at Yoruichi.
Yoruichi was about to move when she realised her body couldn't move due to her injuries and exhaustion, 'Shit! Did I use up all my energy using the Shunko?!' she dreaded and her eyes widened in horror as the light spears neared her at a fast pace, closing the distance.
'I'm sorry Oka-chan and otouto... good-'
BOOOM!
Yoruichi eyes widened when an indigo orb destroyed all four light spear just before they could hit her and had to cover her face from the force.
"What was that?!" a Fallen Angel exclaimed and all of them looked in the direction the indigo orb came from and frowned when they saw a fourteen year old looking boy with medium length brown hair and light purple eyes coolly making his way toward their target.
"Who are the fuck are you?!"
"A Devil, huh?"
"Didn't our day just get lucky?!" And all four of them began laughing.
'A Devil? Why would a Devil save me?' Yoruichi gazed at the boy as he neared her and when she got a better look at him, 'He's soo cute!' she inwardly squealed, her face heating up for a moment before she shook her head, 'No no no! I can't be thinking about that now!' she chastised herself.
"Can you stand?" Arturo held his hand out to her.
"I can stand by myself." Yoruichi stood up by herself, albeit with a struggle as she ignored his stretched out hand and choosing to fall for his charms but when she got to her feet she found herself losing her foot and was about to fall when an arm wrapped around her tiny waist, making her golden yellow eyes look up into the light purple ones of Arturo in surprise.
"I promise that I don't bite, so feel free to accept my help." he gave her an eye smile and a warm smile, making Yoruichi's face heat up more than before and nodded her head shyly, as no words could leave her mouth.
"What do you think you're doing, you shitty Devil?!" One fallen Angel exclaimed angrily.
"Are you an idiot?" Arturo turned his attention to the group of Fallen Angels and sent them a menacing glare as a light purple glow covered his body, "What do you think I am doing? I'm rescuing her of course!"
They all laughed, "If that sexy ass neko couldn't beat us, what makes you think that a shitty Devil brat can by yourself?"
Arturo smirked, "What makes you think I'm alone?" he muttered lowly yet in a deadly tone, surprising Yoruichi as she turned her gaze ahead of her to see stems erupt out of the ground and wrapped around the Fallen Angels, shocking them before grunting then crying out in pain as the stem tightened its hold on them.
"What is this?!"
"Answer, Devil scum!"
Arturo smirked and began gathering his power in front of him in the form of a indigo, black outline orb. The group of Fallen Angels felt the power behind the ever growing attack of the young teen before they turned their gaze to his eyes and couldn't help but shiver at how evil he looked due to his sclera being black.
"Your death." Arturo released the orb, sending it towards the trapped Fallen Angels. All one could hear through the open clearing were cries of the Fallen Angels before they died leaving the clearing in silence.
'He took them all out with one attack? Who the hell is this boy?' Yoruichi thought completely bewildered at Arturo's display of power.
'That was it? Boring,' Arturo sighed before he turned around and faced Yoruichi. "At least she is okay." He gave her a warm smile which made Yoruichi turn her away head away as her cheeks began heating up, which was didn't go unnoticed.
'Cute.' Arturo began checking Yoruichi out. He noticed that not only did she look around Kuroka's age she also had a body rivalling his said Bishop, 'And sexy.'
"Turo-chan!"
GRIP!
GLOMP!
A pair of hands encircled around his waist and a pair of soft and spongy breasts pressed against his neck and head, like a pillow, a very soft one at that.
"Al-chan and I didn't a chance to fight nya," Kuroka pouted. "You and Chrome-chan hogged all of it."
"Gomen Kuro-chan." A meek voice said, coming up from behind them.
Kuroka stiffled a giggle.
"Kuro-chan, don't tease Chrome-chan." Alexa reprimanded Kuroka. "The fact that we didn't fight means those animals were not much of a challenge for Arturo-sama."
"I know Mother Hen Alexa." Kuroka smirked as she felt the killing intent rolling off Alexa.
Arturo sighed before reluctantly removing himself from Kuroka's embrace and stepped toward Yoruichi.
"So are you after the same thing?" Yoruichi instantly questioned, disgust clearly in her voice and she met Arturo's gaze with a serious one.
Arturo frowned slightly but remained silent as kept his gaze with Yoruichi for what felt like hours to the both of them but was actually a minute before Arturo sighed and turned his body to the side so he could he gaze at both Yoruichi and the girls as well giving Yoruichi a clear view of them.
"Would they have such bright eyes full of emotion if I was after the same thing?" Arturo questioned rhetorically.
Yoruichi gazed at the three girls and knew despite the bickering, they were happy and their lips were always tugged upwards but more importantly they eyes were bright and full of life and her eyes widened in surprise and bewilderment.
'How can that be? All men are disgusting pigs that don't care about women, only their bodies!' Her mind was a mess, up until now every man except her innocent younger brother and late father, were like those dead Fallen Pigs.
Arturo watched as Yoruichi became even more lost in her thoughts, 'Her eyes seem so dull.' He noted, not liking seeing a beautiful woman like her having eyes like hers. She reminded him of Kuroka when she stood on death row for almost killing him and knew what he had to do to save her. However, his eyebrows rose in realisation when he saw her body shiver as a cooling breeze passed through the area. Arturo took off of his jacket and stepped closer to her before setting the jacket over her shoulders, snapping her out of her thoughts.
"W-what are you doing?" Yoruichi stammered, her face flushed at the nice gesture.
"You were shivering..." Arturo trailed off shrugging.
"T-thank you...uhm..." Yoruichi trailed off, forgetting they haven't even introduced themselves to one another.
"Arturo Gremory." He held out his hand to her.
Yoruichi stared at his hand for a short while before gazing into his eyes for a short while longer, trying to find any ulterior motive.
'Should I take his hand? He does seem different...' she shook her head rapidly, 'No! What if he's like the rest... like him?' She shook her head again, '... but he saved me.' She gazed into his eyes again before, seeing nothing but warmth in them before steeling herself before making the decision that would forever change her life.
"...Yoruichi Shihōin." She took a hold of his hand.
Flashback Ends...
'Yoruichi... I guess you are my daughter' A small smile made its way onto Yūkino's face as she gazed at her daughter's determined face and she knew that this Devil that captured her daughter's heart must be someone special.
BOOOOM!
Both Yoruichi and Yūkino's eyes widened as a loud explosion rocketed the castle and most likely the entire compound if what they felt was true.
'This is...'
"Arturo-kun and..."
"Yūshiro."
Their eyes widened before they gazed at each other, no words were needed as they eyes conveyed everything...
We need to stop them.
Before they ran out of the room towards the site of the explosion...
"Fuck." Arturo groaned out as he lied on the ground gazing at the dust cloud around him. He was heading towards the castle when he reached an open field before he suddenly was attacked by someone, getting an uppercut into the air before receiving a leg drop back to the ground, creating a medium sized crater around him. Sufficed to say he knew that he broke a few bones and dislocated his jaw but he could already feel them being completely healed due to his high-speed regeneration.
'Thank Onii-baka for Azazel-shishō.' He grinned.
Meanwhile an individual gazed down at the dust cloud from above in the sky, an indifferent look on his face. Yūshirō is an average height handsome lean built young, dark-skinned man around seventeen years of age with black hair, which he keeps in a thick ponytail. However in his Nekomata form, which his currently and always in, he grows a pair of pure black cat ears and two pure black tails. He's wearing white fingerless gloves that extend to his elbows, and a black garment that covers his torso and legs with a white band wrapped his waist.
Yūshirō's eyebrows rose slightly as he saw an indigo orb shoot out of the dust cloud before he smirked and effortlessly moved to the side, dodging the attack. However, he was unprepared when he felt powerful bone crushing kick to the side of the his body that sent him flying across the field into the ground, upturning the ground around him.
Yūshirō groaned as he got into a sitting position, gathering nature energy and began healing himself with it and turned his gaze to Arturo before his eyes widened at the new look of Arturo...
There have it... Chapter 9!
I bet you all thought that this chapter would have the very much anticipated fight between Arturo and Yūshirō... However, you'll have to wait till chapter 10 which I have started on already and should be done in a few days if I don't get stuck... sorry.
I know Yoruichi was OOC in this chapter but for it work, it had to be this way. So let me just say this, there'll be OOC's in this story, however I'll try my outmost to keep them in character.
Another thing, I found out or rather a reader of this story told me that Sairaorg doesn't possess the Power of Destruction? I have to apologise since I haven't watched Highschool DxD Born yet or read the manga but I'm keeping it with Sairaorg having the Power of Destruction because it's important to the story and Arturo and Sairaorg's rivalry.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter and enjoying this story and thank you for the support so far.
