Chapter 72 - Sona Approves.
Kurayami and Serafall went through the castle and when they found Sona she was playing chess with a blond girl her age. Behind Sona was a black haired girl a little older than her standing like an attendant. Behind the blond girl was a black haired man who he felt was actually a dragon.
When the butler felt Kurayami\'s aura he almost begged to be his familiar, but he didn\'t. In the same room also found Rias, and Koneko who he wanted to talk to, but right now he studied Sona. He felt that she did not have the raw talent that Serafall had, but she had some training. She just needed some help. Sona looked over and sighed when she saw Serafall.
Serafall fronwed. "Sona-tan. I missed you." Serafall hugged her sister, but Sona pushed her off. "Please, behave sis.. You are in front of a delegate of Grigori and you should be more respectful." Serafall had a smug look on her face and pointed to Kurayami.
"Kura here is not just a member of Grigori, he is my fiance." Out of nowhere Sona\'s glasses cracked and she took them off and looked at them oddly. "Tsubaki, I am in a dream right? Because I think my irresponsible sister just said she got a fiance." Tsubaki shook her head. "No, Sona. This is all real."
Serafall pouted. "You are not dreaming, this is real, right Kura?" She looked at Kurayami with hope. He looked at Serafall a little oddly. as she shortened his name. He sighed and looked at Sona.
"You are dreaming and are currently in an illusion. This is testing your will power." Sona sighed in relief.
"I knew it, no way my sister would get engaged. She is too irresponsible. " Kurayami sighed.
"I was joking, this is totally real. Also Serafall, why are you calling me Kura? Not that I really mind." She smiled.
. "I always make nicknames for people. If you don\'t like it I could call you Yami if you want, I always have nicknames for people." He shook his head as he did not mind.
"Does not matter to me, call me what you want. Anyway, I should introduce myself. I am-" Sona slumped and answered for him. "Kurayami Himejima, Rias told me." Kurayami looked at Rias who still looked a bit mad that he had called her out on her laziness and that she was spoiled.
"Well as I said, we are engaged. This is a way for Grigori and The Devils to have a true way to peace as marriages are always helpful this way. Rias was just too spoiled and weak for my liking and it was without my choice." Rias got bright red and Koneko grabbed her hand and shook her head.
Sona looked defeated, but she began to chuckle like a mad man. "Finally, my irresponsible sister is doing her job properly. I thank you Kurayami as now she will annoy you and not me." Serafall was slack jawed and Sona patted Kurayami on the shoulder.
"Please, make her behave and make her do her job properly. Many times she and the other satans will neglect their responsibilities, but you can ensure she does her job." Serafall began to act like a spoiled child and Kurayamu felt it was a little funny. Serafall had fake tears running down her face.
"No, Sona. How could you try to get me to be a housewife and give up my hobby? You are so cruel. Kurayamu won\'t force me to work." She hugged Kurayami and looked up.
"Kura, you won\'t, right?" She looked adorable, but he smiled.
"Sona, I promise I will get her to do her job properly and even if she has to sit in an office for hours. Meaning sadly, Serafall will have less time to be a magical girl." Sona had stars in her eyes.
"I am glad to be your future sister-in-law. Please, come to the Sitri territory sometime and meet our parents. I am sure they will love you." Kurayami and Sona had fun teasing Serafall, but he finally said the real reason he was here other than just to meet her.
"Well the real reason I came here was that Serafall asked me to train you and your peerage. We at Grigori are some of the best trainers around and she felt you could use out help as you only have your queen." Sona had a thoughtful look on her face and she was a smart woman.
"I always heard that Grigori had a special school where they train sacred gear users." He nodded.
"It\'s called Nephlim and it has not just sacred gear users. It also has hybrids and we at Grigori have managed to create our own way to turn others into fallen angels. We did recruit one stray devil and used her evil piece to have our own way."
Sona was interested in what the method was, but she didn\'t ask. Just knowing that much was not a big deal as vampires and devils could turn others. He coughed to get attention back at him.
"Also, if you think I am not good enough to be your trainer, how about this?"
He suddenly vanished and appeared right in front of her and he showed what was in his hands. It was Koneko\'s hair pin, but in that second he was moving he took the real one and made a replacement. Koenkoa felt her hair pin was gone and Kurayami tossed it back to her. Sona barely saw him move and Serafall could move fast, but not that fast.
Sona looked him over in an analyzing way. "How did you move so fast?" Kurayami smiled.
"I am a super fallen angel, it is obvious I should be fast." He looked at the blond girl sitting across Sona and her dragon buttler.
"What would your names be?" The girl stood up and gave a polite bow. "Seekvaira Agares, heiress to the Agares clan. This is my queen, Alivian" The butler bowed politely and Kurayami nodded. Rias and Koneko walked over. Koneko was sniffing the air and not only was she smelling her sister, but his aura as well.
Rias still looked like she did not want to talk to him, but Konejo did. She ran up to him and began to sniff him and looked up into his sunglasses. "Why do you smell like my nee-san and why do you smell good?" She looked like a little cat and he found it a pity she did have her cat ears out. He really liked that on Kuroka.
He kneeled down and looked her in the eyes. "I take you are Shirno, Kuroko\'s little sis. Kuroka is one of my fiances." Koneko looked away. "I don\'t want to talk about Nee-san. She left me behind and went mad." Kurayami sighed as devils are real pieces of work. He kneeled down and ran his hand down her hair.
She really liked that as his aura had a calming effect on youkai and it drew them in. Even Alivian wished to be his familiar and while he would not betray his master, he felt he might if he was ordered by Kurayami. Little did he know that Kuraymi had his aura suppressed.
Kurayami\'s ruler trait over beasts got stronger after he and Ophis got their bond. It was why his pets were so loyal to him, even a mad beast like Ladon. He smiled and began to explain to her.
"Well, that was not the full story. The devil kings already choose to remove her status as a stray devil as they know the real reason she killed her master. Hee was running experiments on her, trying to make super devils, but she was deemed a failure. He was going to do the same to you." She had never heard this side of the story and did want to believe it. His hand on her head made her listen.
He pulled out a small pendant. "This is a small part of Kuroka\'s memories that she turned into a video. It is from her perspective. Do you want to see them?" Koneko nodded and he pushed a small button and it showed a clip of Kuroka as a child strapped to a chair from her point of view. A few men in lab coats stood over her taking notes. One of them got a syringe and injected it into Kuroka\'s arm.
Kuroka began to shake and scream in pain and a black aura was coming off her body and they took notes. They scanned her with magical devices and yet the lead man shook his head. "No change from the last 4 injections. She reached her limit, it seems we will continue as planned to use the white one." Koneko was shocked and she remembered all the times her sister struggled to get up after she was taken away for the night.
In the video Kuroka snapped and began to rip apart the men and she was rushing towards her sister\'s room, but more and more devil guards began to swarm her and she had to flee, or she would die. The video ended after that and Konejo\'s face was full of tears and she was holding on to the small pendant.
"Nee-san, why did you not tell me? Kurayami got up and started to leave. "As she is no longer a stray, I can ask her to come here. If you are willing to meet her." Shirone nodded and Serafall and Kurayami left. On the way Serafall looked down as she felt responsible. "Serafall, why are you sad?" Serafall held her right arm and sighed.
"I mean, I saw what they did to her in that video and anyone with any empathy would feel bad. It was done under out leadership and I wonder how many more cases like hers happened." As they walked he got a thoughtful look on his face.
"Well at least you are not vampires. I hear those guys are far worse than devils as any half breed is treated worse then half devils. I don\'t see why hybrids of any kind are normally better than the original." Serafall sighed. "Well I should go, I will see you tomorrow. I have to go pick up Azazel at the train station." He nodded and he went to his room.
When he got their Esdeath, Raynare, Akeno, Lavinia, Ophis, and Artemis were waiting and he sat down in a chair totally slumped and looked ready to fall asleep. Artemis walked behind him and rubbed his forehead. "You seem more tired than usual." He nodded.
"You have no idea. I did not know that I would be dragged from one place to the other like that" Raynare shrugged. "Well, at least you can relax now, but are you really tired?" He shook his head.
"No, more like I can\'t get tired anymore. I am just mentally tired." Lavinia helped him remove his coat and hung it up and ran her hand through his hair.
"Well, you will be fine. This meeting is only for a week after all." Esdeath was already in a nightgown on the bed and she buried her head in a pillow. She began to grumble about how she hated being here.
"I swear that if I don\'t see devils again it will be too soon. Most of them are so stupid that I wanted to castrate a few." Kurayami sighed and he began to undress and he put on a pair of shorts. He always slept better in shorts and he laid on the bed. Esdeath snuggled up next to him and Ophis laid down on his chest. The girls were already in nightgowns except Artemis.
He expected her to leave, but she didn\'t. She began to remove her dress slowly and he got to see her undress. He had to say she was really seductive when she tried to be. She put on a very thin nightgown and it matched her hair and eyes. When she was done she got on the bed and she looked away. "How do I look?" Kurayami did not say anything and he just looked at her in awe.
"You do look great." Ophis suddenly looked at Artemis and Artemis noticed
"Something wrong?" Ophis shook her head and she grabbed Artemis arm and pulled her. Artemis fell on Kurayami\'s chest and he took his chance when she was distracted and took her lips and kissed her. She did not expect that, but she did not mind it really. He grabbed the back of her head and gave her a big wet kiss.
Akeno looked at that and licked her lips as she was the one who got past the kissing stage. Raynare squinted her eyes at Akeno who had been acting smug since a while ago and suspected something had happened, but had no proof. She had to know as she was first.
Kurayami pulled back and Artemis was looking at him with a red face and was panting. Lavinia, They all began to cuddle and seems beds in the underworld are meant to be filled with harems as they are just huge. There was more room for even Natsume and Kuroka who were not here. He wished that they had come, but not up to him.
Artmeis looked him in the eyes as he took off his glasses and he put them in his ring. "Well, seems that you took my first kiss." In his mind he was yelling in happiness. He was also making thousands of evil forbidden curses on Orion\'s soul that little did he know were actually happening.
He smiled and looked her in the eyes. "I am happy." Lavinia was interested and looked at Ophis.
"Ophis, are you not jealous?" Ophis shook her head. "No other female dragons." Kurayamu looked at her."
You wouldn\'t let me have another female dragon mate?" Ophis frowned and shook her head and hugged his head and covered his face with her chest. "Mine."
He smiled. "I don\'t need another dragon mate, I got you." She smiled and fell asleep on top of him. He and the girlsall spent about 20 minutes just talking about their plans and they all went to sleep for the night. They would have to be here for a week and Azazel should be here by tomorrow morning.
