--Kuoh-
That night, Rias, Akeno, and I also slept together. I got so used to them by my side that having Akeno missing felt… weird. Asia was invited by both Irina and Xenovia to their guestroom to have a sleepover, I knew that the blue-haired swordswoman just couldn't resist using Asia as a body pillow.
"They're probably still talking about the Bible." Akeno said. She hadn't fallen asleep yet, choosing to snuggle into me, making herself the little spoon. "It's funny when you think about it, a nun and two Exorcists sleeping right next to the room of the sister of Lucifer and her Queen. I never would have thought such a thing possible in my life, to be honest with you."
I had to agree, this situation really did seem like something from an old comedy movie. We were all laughing at the absurdity of it for a while until we remembered why we were there. If we were going to have any hope of defeating the Kokabiel, then we needed to prepare ourselves mentally first.
"I'm glad she made some new friends." I said, my hand gently rubbing the half-Fallens behind, making her hum in delight. "I was worried about her being near Aika and becoming infected with her perverted nature."
Akeno snorted, making me chuckle at the action. "I'll take care of Asia, don't worry about that. As for Aika, well… she's always been a bit of a wildcard but she still has a lot to learn in the art of seduction."
That made me even more worried, if Aika was the queen of lewdness, then Akeno was the direct embodiment. Which was enhanced by her Fallen side, making her a rare beauty even among her kind. At least, that was what Azazel told me after meeting the young half-Fallen.
Either way, I still need to keep on my toes when around her.
"I'm more surprised that the two of you aren't friends yet. Both of you have common interests and would've probably been the best of friends." I said.
Akeno laughed, shaking her head. "It's not like that, I appreciate Aika very much and am grateful for how much she helped you and Asia with the requests. We just live in a separate world, it's hard for anyone from the Supernatural world to get along with a regular human without dragging them into our mess. I believe that her being friends with you and hanging out so often is something of a miracle itself and I don't want to ruin the young girl's life."
I gave her a firm kiss on the head.
"You're not going to ruin anyone's life just for wanting to get to know them. Don't think of the past when forging bonds with the future, more times than not, it usually works out. Stop being a dumbass and invite her for a walk. I guarantee that both of you will become good friends and give me a massive headache."
"..."
"Now we better get to sleep, we have a lot to take care of tomorrow."

As I was lost in their comfort, the two women snuggled up on my sides, my body stilled when I felt her hand sneak up below my waist. Her hand rested on my dick, her warm soft hands gently caressing the appendage while she gently massaged my balls. After having blood pumping into it, she wrapped her fingers around my girth and slowly started to stroke it. I turned around to face her, her eyes filled with mischief and lust. She licked her lips, staring at my member.
"O-Oi... Rias is right here!" I whispered harshly, feeling my heart beat loudly from trepidation and arousal, as my eyes focused on the red head still sound asleep while trying my best to ignore the pleasant sensation.
"Fufufufu, that makes it more fun~" Akeno giggled, making my cock twitch in her grip.
"Wa-Wait—"
"—shhh… just let it happen."
She slowly started moving her hand up and down the length of my dick, her actions slow and teasing. It didn't take long for me to start getting hard, my shaft rising to its full height. My erection now standing straight up, making a tent out of pants. Akeno smirked, looking at it with a look of pure pride and joy. She continued stroking it, knowing exactly how to pleasure me, switching from stroking the base or rubbing the tip.
She had her fingers caressing the head of my cock, while she had her mouth biting my earlobe. Her hand continued back to stroking my cock, before switching back to playing with the tip. She continued this motion several times as she invaded my ear with her tongue, nearly pushing me over the edge of pleasure. I tried my best to hold out strong, not wanting to give her the satisfaction of making squirm by her touch, but I couldn't hold on much longer.
I couldn't move, I didn't dare to do anything with Rias sleeping soundly near me while her Queen and best friend was jacking off her boyfriend.
But if this was how she wanted to play, fine!
My hand, that was still resting on her ass, moved down to play with her folds, getting a small moan from her.
Unsurprising, Akeno was already wet, her underwear already soaked with her juices. My fingers moved under the soaked cloth, and started to caress her folds. This got another groan from the girl, as she started to pant. I could feel her hot breath on my ear, a new sensation that felt just as nice. But I continued to play with Akeno, my fingers entering her caverns, as started with a slow pump.
At this point, I almost didn't care that Rias would wake up. I just wanted to reach my release.
Just as I reached my limit, Akeno pulled me into a kiss, muffling the groan that I couldn't suppress.
"Hng!" I groaned loudly, finally reaching my orgasm as a rush of pleasure moved through my body.
My cock erupted, releasing my load into Akeno's eger hand. Firing load after load, I could feel a warm, sticky sensation, down my cock and coat my pelvis. She cooed happily, her own climax hitting her hard, as I continued to pump my fingers inside of her as she rode her orgasm. She pulled her hand from out of my pants and admired her hand that was coated in my cum. It looked thick, like pudding, and the hungry look that Akeno was giving it, it might've well been. She ran her tongue on her hand, scooping up all of my thick jizz into her mouth, moaning with each swallow. By the time she finished with her little act, my cock was ready to go again, and Akeno was smiling devilishing when she licked that last of her 'meal'.
"Mnh~ Fufufu, your cum tastes so good." She said, licking her lips, looking at me hungry. She pulled my hand from between her legs and proceeded to lick her own juices off my finger, going as far as giving them a mock blowjob with each digit.
I panted heavily, unable to move or speak while I continued to watch her dirty actions. I was completely defenseless against Akeno's power of seduction. I could feel her caress every digit with her tongue, feeling the nimble appendage lapping up her juices.
Damn this woman!
She was only doing this now because I couldn't do anything to her at the moment! I promised Rias a date and both of us wanted our time to be special as well. We both knew that if this went any further, then Rias would get involved, and lose her first time in a threesome.
It wasn't fair that she could use this type of dirty trick on me!
"Akeno…" I said, trying to speak calmly despite my raging hormones and my instincts telling me to dominate this little half-Fallen. "I am going to make you regret it if you keep taunting me like this...."
Despite my voice almost coming out as a growl, Akeno just smirked, but she didn't stop. Instead, she took my saliva covered hand and placed it on her breast. Her nipple was firm and erect, poking into my palm.
"You taste so yummy..." She purred, running her tongue along my ear. My hand that was still holding her breast, moved to gently massage the soft flesh and caressing her nipple. "I can't help myself, my big, scary dragon. Just being this close with you two, is so naughty~ I just want you to just ravish us both and watch you make my King finally yours~"
My arousal quickly returned as she pushed my hand harder onto her breast, moaning softly as I gripped her breast in a tight grip. I moved my thumb along her sensitive nipple, feeling it go rock hard under my touch. She shuddered in pleasure, pressing herself closer to me as she came in her pants.
"Ah... Mnh~ Hachi~" She moaned, panting heavily and drooling slightly, as I continued to play with her body.
I bit my lip, struggling to keep myself calm. It was no use though, I couldn't hold back anymore. In a moment of weakness, I squeezed her breast roughly, pinching her nipple between my fingers. Akeno cried out in surprise, her sharp nails digging into my arm.
"Gah...!" She gasped, moving closer to me, nearly jostling Rias with all of her squirming, as she was unprepared for my sudden action, before settling down.
I smiled, lying down beside her, finally able to calm myself down.
"I thought you might like that." I chuckled, giving her breast one last squeeze before letting go.
Akeno pouted, but she didn't protest as I started to kiss her neck and shoulder. She was already half asleep, moaning softly at my touch. I kissed her cheek and the tip of her nose before moving to her lips. Our lips inches apart, feeling our breaths mingle before slowly—
.

(Mini lemon end)
Foooooooo!
Everyone in the room got up in surprise as an enormous pressure we had never felt before fell down upon us. We jumped off the bed and stood in front of the window. Akeno also got up after feeling a presence familiar to hers. When I looked outside the window, there was someone looking down on us.
Well, this was awkward.
"A Fallen Angel."
Akeno said it with a voice filled with hatred and clicked her fingers. She instantly got into her uniform, our previous activities gone and opened the room's door. I quickly followed along, donning my regular clothes and making sure my parents were still asleep.
When we got out of the house, I focused on the man in front of us, still releasing a heavy pressure that easily surpassed that of a High-class Devil.
A Cadre.
He was floating in the sky with the moon behind him. It was indeed a Fallen Angel who had his black wings present from his back—10 black wings… It appeared to be a young man who was wearing a black robe with detailed accessories.
He smirked after seeing us.
"I hope I wasn't… disturbing you in the middle of something important." he said mockingly, clearly referring to both Akeno and me. This was embarrassing, caught in the middle of something very private by the enemy.
"You will pay for this!" Akeno said furiously, she was probably the most pissed off by his actions for ruining her fun.
Rias looked at her in confusion, oblivious to our little moment of debauched actions.
I just acted clueless and shrugged, not wanting to tell her what we did while she was asleep next to us.
Unfortunately, that only got her to narrow her eyes at me in suspicion and doubt. Damn, this girl knew me far too well, and that was going to be a major problem in the future. Though she did not inquire any further and returned her attention to the Cadre above us.
"This is our first time meeting, daughter of Gremory. Your crimson hair does look beautiful in person. It reminds me so much of your brother that it makes me want to vomit in disgust." He glared at me next. "And you too, little dragon. Still alive, I see? How unfortunate. I expected you to die with that useless traitor back in Ireland."
"Yeah, yeah, happy to see you too bud, what's the occasion? Came to spy on us like a creepy voyeur" I asked casually, making his smirk turn into a frown.
"Hurgh, cease your mindless chatter, your childish antics remind me of Azazel far too much."
I took that as an insult… but he sure did give such a provocative speech. I could feel the hatred coming from his words.
"Nice to meet you, member of the Grigori, Kokabiel. And my name is Rias Gremory, heiress to house Gremory. I want to add one more thing. We and the entirety of house Gremory are connected to a being who is closest to the Maou, and also the furthest from it. If you are here to discuss politics with me, then it's no use as I don't have that kind of influence."
Yeah, nicely said, Rias!
"I have not come here for—Clang!" Two of his wings moved to cover his head where blades struck him.
Turning to where they came from, I saw that it was none other than Xenovia and Irina, having tried to attack the Fallen by surprise. As expected, the attack failed as their swords couldn't even pierce through his wings, having only managed to knock a few feathers off the Fallen.
"Humans never cease to amaze me with their unsightly behavior. Don't you find it rude to cut your superior in the middle of his speech?" With a swift move, he once again used his wings to smack both of them down to the ground with nothing more than air pressure. I was quick to move and summoned hundreds of black tentacles to catch Irina while I caught Xenovia in my arms as she was closer to me.
"Oof!" I almost lost my balance with the enormous weight of the sword, that thing was easily twice as heavy as Xenovia. And this woman is able to carry the slab of metal like a stick!
"Be more careful, you gorilla!"
"..."
She gave me a deadpan look as I dropped her down.
"Any injuries?" I asked her.
"No, I'm fine aside from a few bruises." She answered. "Can't believe he managed to block our Excaliburs with just his wings…"
"He is someone who has been around since the beginning of the biblical faction. He survived through countless wars, including the Great War, and emerged alive in the end. You can't underestimate someone with that much experience and skill, even if you wielded the original Excalibur. Both of you shouldn't fight him right now." Before they could complain about my words, I cut them off. "Look at your surroundings. We are in a public area with my parents being just a few feet behind me. If you dunderheads start to fight a literal Cadre here of all places, then you put everyone's life at risk and this jackass knows it."
"He's that strong?" Irina asked, her face filling with despair at the situation.
"To tell you the truth, if Kokabiel were to fight seriously, not only this academy, but the whole region would be destroyed."
In a way, Kokabiel had both of my parents and friends hostage.
Both of the Exorcists reluctantly agreed to my reasoning and backed away while still holding their swords defensively for any surprise attacks.
"Rias, it would be better if we call your brother to deal with this." I proposed, my eyes never leaving the Cadre "Or have Sona call out her Sister."
Kokabiel scoffed, "I wouldn't do something as stupid as talking with that lunatic… she will find a way to ruin everything! Well, if I rape and kill Lucifer's little sister, then Sirzechs' anger will be pointed towards me. That wouldn't be so bad." he said with a grin while looking at Rias.
.
.
.
Deep breath, he was only trying to taunt us into attacking him first. I wasn't going to become a pawn in his plans and be so easily influenced by his words. But Rias, on the other hand, was fuming with hatred. I could see a ball of destruction starting to form on her palm.
So, I decided to take control for now.
"Stop with the taunting, Kokabiel. Tell us already what you want."
Kokabiel answered my question with a joyish smile, "I will be rampaging in this town using your base, Kuoh Academy, as the starting point. Then, your brother, Sirzechs will also appear if he learns that his precious little sister is in danger, right?" he continued to try and get under her skin, but I wouldn't let my rage take over from such a simple trick.
I snorted, "You're still trying to start trouble? The only thing you'll manage to do is piss off every single leader, who can erase you from existence in a matter of seconds. Your kind will go extinct just because you couldn't hold yourself from getting a pointless adrenaline rush you delusional crow. Even Vali makes more sense than you, and that's saying something."
That didn't go well with the Cadre, he glared at me for a moment before relaxing. "That's what I'm wishing for. I thought that Michael would start a War if I stole the Excalibur… But what he sent were grunt Exorcists and two holy-sword wielders. It's boring. I'm really bored! That's why I'm going to rampage around Serafall and Sirzechs's sister's bases. See? Sounds more fun, right?"
Rias made a sound with her tongue. It was proof that she was really pissed that she was being used to get at her brother, and for such a stupid reason too. What insane plan was he trying to pull? This was no different than a child throwing a tantrum and causing chaos out of boredom. And another thing I noticed was that he didn't mention anything about Gabriel or Mother Griselda… which was interesting, to say the least.
"You're not a battle-freak, like Vali." I said lazily, no longer taking any attempts to convince this fool of his wrongdoings. "They would thirst for a great battle, fighting against a superior being no matter how small their chances were. You're not one of them, all you want is to cause chaos like a toddler who has been denied a toy to play with… all of this just because you were bored? What a joke."
Kokabiel just laughed.
"Spare me your philosophical speech, human. Azazel and Shemhazai weren't that keen on the next war either. They then started to do something boring, like collecting Father's Sacred Gears and researching them instead of using them. Something useless like that won't be of any use to us! Well, it's a different story if it was the Boosted Gear like the one the brat over the Sitri Clan has in her thrall… It's not something you can find so easily."
He then looked at me.
"I doubt you're after Issei," I said, standing in my spot even as he continued to cast his magical pressure on me. "You're not that resourceful to recruit someone like him over your side. The actions of Raynare already proved as much."
"Humph, that weakling deserved her fate, but at least she followed my orders. She was made to serve a simple purpose yet failed in the end. She is not worthy of my attention, just another failure to join the ranks of Azazel's group. Either way, I'm going to be starting a battle involving the holy swords, Rias Gremory. For starting a war! A school where both little sisters of Sirzechs' and Leviathan's go to. It must be filled with demonic powers so that I can enjoy the chaos! It's also the best place to release the real power of Excaliburs! It's a good place for the battlefield."
He really lost it, the man was bat shit crazy.
"Excalibur Rapidly, Nightmare, and Transparent are all under my possession. I also feel like getting Excalibur Destruction and Mimic these two girls wield. Never hurts to have more just in case" He started laughing like a madman. "Hahahaha! One of my followers has already created an artificial holy sword user who is able to hold all of these swords!"
"Valper Galilei." I whispered, knowing that there was only a single person in this world who could accomplish something like that.
"Exactly, the Holy Sword research is truly a marvelous discovery, if it shows this much result. To tell you the truth, I was initially suspicious when he mentioned what he could bring me. But with a bit of resources and a lot of… subjects, my trust has already brought me a weapon that could reach Longinus class Sacred Gear."
So Kokabiel and Valper were working together now… that wasn't surprising.
"Hahaha! So let's have a War! Little sister of Sirzech Lucifer, Rias Gremory!"
"Tone down your murder boner, freak." I said dryly.
"Silence!"
FLASH!
He released a single burst of energy, coming off as a bright light that blinded us for a bit, but by the time it returned… Kokabiel was gone!
"I need to speak to Azazel as soon as possible," If there was someone who could manage this entire fiasco with Kokabiel, it was Azazel. I began conjuring my teleportation spell.
"Rias, you'll have to gather with Sona and make sure to prepare yourselves for anything he might have planned. Call Kiba and Koneko-chan as well, I don't want them to get attacked while alone, or Kiba doing something incredibly stupid."
"We will come as well," Xenovia announced. "We have come for one purpose and this is our moment to work together."
I didn't wait to see Rias' response and left the area in a flash.
A battle against one of the leaders of the Fallen Angels was about to start and I couldn't afford to not take advantage of certain things.
{Break}
-Uptown Kuoh-
The moment I teleported inside Azazel's apartment, I was taken aback to see a dark living room with the governor of the Fallen missing.
"Azazel?" I tried calling out to him but received no response.
The lights flickered open, my eyes widened as I saw none other than Vali sitting comfortably on the sofa while eating some chips. Seeing him always triggered my fight or flight reaction, I still didn't trust this guy at all. He was far too unpredictable to be reliable or even safe to be around.
"What a surprise, it's been a while since you last came here, Hikigaya." he said calmly.
"Where's Azazel?" I asked, trying to sound as calm as possible even though I was feeling a bit uncomfortable being in front of this maniac without a buffer.
"I don't know, he went somewhere. Why do you ask?" He seemed pretty relaxed, maybe he was just messing around.
"Kokabiel," I said bluntly. "He was about to cause some trouble near Kuoh Academy and he needs to be stopped."
Vali nodded, "Ah yes, that cowardly weakling. He waited until Azazel was no longer in town to strike. How laughable."
He sounded completely indifferent about the whole situation... but I guess it was expected of him.
"I heard that he stole the Excalibur shards from the Angels, I wonder how strong they are."
"I don't think they're that powerful compared to the original sword," I admitted. "But it doesn't stop them from being deadly to the Devils and in the hands of Valper—he can at least make it much more dangerous."
"Sounds like a problem. So, what are you doing here?" Vali had finished the packet of chips in his hand.
"I was going to get Azazel for help, but this was just a waste of my time," I said, making my way outside to join the others.
But I was stopped by a pair of hands clamping on my shoulders. I turned back to see that Vali had pulled himself up onto his feet. He was looking down at me, his gaze almost threatening but also excited.
"Will the Red Dragon Emperor be there?"
I slapped his hand away, not impressed in the slightest by his one track mind.
"It doesn't matter if he's going to be there or not, Issei is not ready to take on a Cadre level Fallen much less someone like you. He has the drive but even a miracle won't help him here. So that's why I'm going to take care of Kokabiel on my own."
That seemed to bring an ominous glint in his eyes.
"So you've grown strong enough to battle a Cadre now, have you? I remember not that long ago you limped across the park with broken ribs from a simple attack. You even needed the help of the heiress to keep you safe, now look at you, becoming the dashing hero to save the day for your mates."
He was right, I did become stronger thanks to my training. However, I wasn't going to let this idiot have the satisfaction of a fight now.
"[Prison Wings!]" My Sacred Gear activated, and I rocketed through the sky.
Vali quickly followed suit, his [Light Wings] extending, catching up to me in less than a second.
"I am not interested in fighting any weaklings, but I am more curious about how you'll handle Kokabiel. I have my orders, but in the end, I decide when I can intervene."
"..."
Well, at least this was better than nothing, I didn't know what my chances were against the Angel of the Stars, but he sure as hell couldn't be as strong as Sétante or even Scáthach... At least that was what I hoped.
We landed on the roof of a building near Kuoh Academy, in front of us, a large blue barrier was erected to keep whatever and whoever was inside contained at all costs and reduce the damage to the surrounding areas.
"Well, the crow sure did bring a lot of company. Probably a couple thousands of his minions stationed inside." Vali said gleefully, finding the fight happening down below entertaining.
This was worse than I thought, the man moved quickly. I got my phone and dialed a number I never wanted to call in my life. The phone rang for a couple of seconds before it was picked up.
"Speak," Sirzechs voice came from the other side. It was not the cheery and bubbly voice I remember from when we first met, but filled with enough authority to remind everyone that he is a Maou. This was not Rias' brother with whom I was talking with, but rather Maou Lucifer—the most powerful devil and leader of the Underworld.
"By your tone, I guess you're already aware of the matter."
"Akeno informed me a few moments ago. Listen to me, Hachiman, my reinforcement will not arrive in time and so I'm placing my trust in you to keep Rias and Sona safe. I know it'll not be easy, but all I ask you is to buy time. I will get there as soon as possible along with Serafall."
The man really was worried, even without seeing him, I could imagine the worried expression on his face and the simmering fury crawling out of his voice from Kokabiel's actions.
"Don't worry, I got this." I ended the call, taking a deep breath while analyzing my options.
"Host of Vritra, I believe this is the perfect opportunity to prove yourself." Out of nowhere, Albion suddenly decided to talk to me. Vali's wings glowed every time the dragon talked.
"..."
"We are talking about the current Lucifer, who is infamous for his power and ruthlessness during the Great War. The moment he steps foot on this realm then Kuoh will cease to exist."
That didn't sound right, Sirzechs was a siscon but he wouldn't go that far. Albion understood my reasoning and added more.
"It may seem unlikely, but that Devil has only one thing in mind; his sister. Everyone else is secondary, and he will not hold back against a Fallen threatening to kill her. We might not die, but many innocents will be killed, and as long as Rias is alive, that is all that matters to him."
"Humph, so why not help out a fellow dragon Sacred Gear host? You are more than capable of taking him down for good." I asked, knowing just how broken the Divine Divide was, it could turn a Cadre's power into a fraction of itself in mere moments.
"Because neither Vali nor I need to help someone who does not require it in the first place."
That made me laugh.
"I'm not that strong."
"So you say, but neither of us are fools. You are the Black Dragon King, just below us Heavenly Dragons, now it is time to show the world why dragons are to be feared. A king can still kill a god without a Longinus."
I wanted to comment that Kokabiel wasn't a god and that Vritra never actually killed one in the first place... quite the opposite happened. But I decided to stay quiet and let him have his moment with that grandiose speech.
With that, Vali flew off towards the Academy. I could feel Vali's aura growing stronger as he watched the fight from above.
The barrier had been constructed to be impossible to break through with the exception of magic. I slapped my face with my hands, this wasn't going to be as one-sided as my time in Ireland. I still shuddered thinking about how close I was to dying at that point in time.
But now, it was different, I was stronger and could pull my own weight — technically.
"I hope you're ready, Vritra, cause you'll have to face a Cadre soon." I said, summoning my gauntlet. "Let's hope this works out."
"Leave it to me, partner. Our opponent is Kokabiel. He's not an insufficient opponent for us to handle. Let's show him the might of the Black Dragon!"
With that said, I closed my eyes, letting my conscience fall deeper into the abyss, leaving my body empty. It felt like falling deep into the bottom of a cold and dark sea. Looking below into the abyss, two giant red eyes shined with power and bloodlust.
"Okay, go ahead."
The eyes moved, swimming above showing the gigantic snake-like body of Vritra. Its sheer size still made me marvel at how imposing he must have been when he used to roam the world. At his full height, he could probably dwarf any skyscraper in Kuoh. He swam up to the light on the surface, bringing along with him the power to fight Kokabiel head-on.
