Chapter 681 - hh

Kenji was glad he'd had the foresight to bring his jacket as the weather had taken a turn for the colder. It was actually December 15th, or the 16th since it was 3 in the morning when he'd left his home. It had been summer in Texas when he shifted into his new life, and the radical shift in weather really hadn't sunk in until the night had wore on. He supposed he must have some innate temperature resistance, his low level regeneration was likely mitigating the negative temperature effects as he thought on it.

He waxed with nostalgia as the city passed him by, the uber driver blathering on about something he couldn't care less about. He had his luggage in the trunk with his personal computer bag secure next to him. He'd already said goodbye to his school friends the day before, hence why he hadn't reached out to them before he'd left. His friendship ties to his friends in San Francisco were something that had been blunted along with his Parents deaths. So his likely never seeing them again wasn't so painful, more like a distant sadness then a stabbing grief.

He'd also decided to leave the $10,000 dollars within his home to avoid any possible pointed questions from the fascists that were the TSA. Once he got to Kuoh and settled in he could just Teleport back to grab it later if he needed it. He stuffed it into the attic in an out of the way spot to keep it hidden, just in case he got more visitors before he returned for it.

He deeply lamented that he had scattered his parents ashes within the bay. The old Kenji had fulfilled their last wishes for their ashes to be scattered within the San Francisco bay, as so many others had likely done before him. Yet now that he had a means of damn near unlimited resurrection, that decision had denied him the ability to bring them back.

Sure it would have been inconvenient to figure out how to explain the dead living again. Yet Kenji would have gladly suffered through that inconvenience for his parents being alive again. He pushed the maudlin thoughts away, his parents were dead and they weren't coming back.

The annoying uber driver had apparently gotten the fucking message and had finally shut the fuck up. As he finally got to ride to the airport in silence, the trip seemingly going much faster without the man blathering on about nothing. Kenji had never understood a random stranger thinking he gave a shit about anything he had to say, he liked his silence, especially when he had a lot on his mind.

He was dreading having to go through the TSA hoops of torture. He always found it darkly amusing that in a way the 9/11 hijackers actually won a minor long term victory. They found a way to torture all future air travelers with their attack. New York got cleaned up, and rebuilt while we destroyed their whole organization and leadership. Yet in the end they totally inconvenienced American air travel for the rest of time, the evil motherfuckers.

As the car approached the airport he sighed, hopefully this would go smoothly and he wouldn't get strip searched or some horrible shit. ​

------Sin Lord------

2 Hours and 45 Minutes Later

Kenji leaned back in his seat as his fellow passengers loaded up onto the plane, taking their seats. He had his bag stowed away into his overhead compartment as he sat within his seat waiting for takeoff. His seat was in the middle next to the wing, and he couldn't remember if that was bad or not. He also wasn't pleased that he would likely be stuck in the middle between two people but he couldn't really help that.

Once he had sat down he contemplated his powers, calling up his full interface to get an accounting of everything he had now.

Spoiler: Kenji Nakano

Kenji's eyes flitted over his interface, taking in each and every stat, ability, trait, spell, and skill. He'd gained quite a bit in a short period of time. Yet most of the abilities were not truly related to keeping him alive. Most were support oriented, like most of his electronic based powers, or his non-combat skills.

He did get a few combat related powers, the knife skill, the vorpal punch dagger spell, the explosive runes spell, and the crystal lance spell. Not truly outstanding on the offense front but the true gem, even if it wasn't combat based, was the Fires of Resurrection. He didn't know what god had smiled upon him when he was given that but he'd like to thank them.

He could already see him using that as leverage for anything from unique substances or objects, to specific girls virginities. After all this reality was rife with orphans, dead parents, and lost loved ones. Most people would do anything to get a loved one back. The only barrier was the physical remains, as long as they had sufficient remains he had a foot in the door.

Akeno, Rias's Queen, had a Mother who had been killed by...her own family? Would she give up her virginity to Kenji if he offered to resurrect her Mother? He was leaning heavily towards yes, and Akeno had the unique honor of being a Devil/Human/Fallen hybrid. Lots of ways for a nice power boost from claiming the virginity of such a unique girl. He also hadn't forgotten her ability to use holy lightning, even if she wasn't training herself in it yet. All he had to do was keep Akeno's terrifying Father from exploding him with a bolt of said holy lightning and he'd be golden.

He couldn't remember the name of the woman who had controlled Kuoh before Rias but he knew she was the Sister of a powerhouse Devil. The Devil had figured out she'd been assassinated due to the King piece conspiracy, which drove him into the arms of the Khaos Brigade. If he could bring her back that might very well remove a powerful member from that band of lunatics. Every act that weakened that group of crazy fucks was a good thing, he did not want Trihexa released.

He wondered just how much he could squeeze out of the Devils if he offered to resurrect a few members of the more reasonable extinct Pillar Families. He could just imagine how popular he would become among that faction if he started bringing back their extinct nobility. Of course he would have to be careful to not create a power imbalance among the three factions. He did not want the Great War Version 2 kicking off on his planet.

He'd looked up the burial rites of Japan and discovered that most people were cremated. The remains were then placed in an urn, and the urn was place under the monument to the dead within a graveyard. That was useful, but his plan for Akeno would be relying on her Mother's body having been retrieved and cremated. Would the people that had killed her allowed for her body to be properly buried? Would Baraqiel have forced the issue in retrieving her body for burial, not to mention vengeance for his murdered wife? Or would Rias have flexed the Gremory muscle into getting the body for proper burial?

Such were the questions that raced through Kenji's mind. He would have to do some investigating when he arrived in Japan. He was distracted from his thoughts when a young woman, who appeared to be in her late teens to early twenties arrived at his row looking harried. She was a fairly attractive Asian woman with shoulder length brown hair, brown eyes, while being dressed in simple blue jeans and a green sweater. She absently apologized to him as she squeezed past him to take the window seat on his row.

As she took her seat he smiled at her, which she didn't return, looking tired as she pulled out a computer bag. She was obviously distracted as she quickly pulled her laptop out, setting it up to use quite quickly. Kenji dismissed the distracted woman from his mind as he returned to his ruminations.

He wanted to take Rias's virginity as well, since she was quite powerful in her own right with her unique Power of Destruction. Yet the only way he could see that ever happening was if he somehow 'saved' her from the arranged marriage to Riser. He would have to find out the laws of the underworld to see if things like sanctioned duels were allowed. His first idea was to just challenge Riser to a duel for Rias marriage contract, if such a thing could be done.

If it was possible then the idea of goading him into a fight would be fairly easy. He, a filthy Human, taking the virginity of his little Sister was sure to send the arrogant Phenex into a frothing rage. The idea of his reaction should/if he should ever learn that a filthy Human had defiled his little Sister was very amusing.

Of course he would have to gain a lot more power before he could take on Riser Phenex with any degree of certainty. He had several ideas on how to increase his powers, with the obvious ones being to just consume rare and unique objects and creatures. Killing Stray Devils, while then claiming their remaining Evil Pieces for his Gluttony Sin was a definite idea. Not to mention devouring the Devil corpse afterward for its abilities.

Hunting down evil Sacred Gear users and devouring their corpses for the chance at their gears was another idea, as morbid and disgusting as it was. He contemplated killing Issei for a scant moment, the useless tit monger really didn't deserve the Longinus he had. He quickly squashed the terrible thought on the spot. Useless pervert he may be, but he did end up helping to save the world in the original time line. Murdering him in cold blood for the chance at Boosted Gear was past what he was willing to bend on with his morals.

He frowned to himself as he realized that his quest for power would be a lot easier if he was evil. Having morals was a real roadblock, but he really didn't want to imagine what would happen if he had been evil. The thought of what someone without morals could do with his abilities sent a shiver down his spine.

The urge to just chain some pretty girl up in a sex dungeon, then rape her all day for power was a dark temptation that lurked in the back of his head. He had enough self reflection and honesty in himself that he knew he had an inner darkness. The urge to do terrible things had always lurked in the back of his mind, like evil whisperings within his head. Obviously he ignored that little evil voice, his willpower was stronger then that. Yet he had never be into self-delusion, he knew exactly what he was capable of in the right, or wrong, circumstances.

He was likely going to become the most powerful Human in the world, since most of the truly powerful here were not Human. He wondered how his morals would hold when he got more power, enough to truly do as he pleased. He knew the old saying of 'power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely' was something that definitely applied to his situation.

Of course he wasn't so deluded to think that he had absolute power yet. Yet being the key word, as he didn't see his power growth ever really slowing. Absolute power would one day be achievable, even if it was thousands of year into the future. His traits would begin to stack, his abilities would increase, he would learn more spells. His stats would only go up, while his HP and MP would only rise further. It was inevitable that he would become a powerhouse at some point in the future. He hoped he would maintain his morality, but he couldn't say that he wouldn't bend it on certain issues given time. After all, if you see enough atrocities, commit enough yourself, then you eventually would become enured to it as well.

He shook his head, he was getting ahead of himself. He was allowing his imagination to run wild, it was what he got for getting introspective and philosophical. He sighed to himself as the plane started up, moving down the runway for takeoff. ​

------Sin Lord------

Kenji felt himself relax as the plane leveled out. In his past life he had never flown on a plane, while Kenji had been on family vacations several times that involved flight. It was enlightening to see how a child in a wealthy family lived as apposed to how he lived in a poor family. The absolute lack of awareness of the true value of things was what stuck out to him the most.

The old Kenji had been given a really ridiculous allowance by his Father, who really had been quite wealthy. While Kenji hadn't been given anything he wanted, he also hadn't really wanted for anything in his life. When Kenji needed new clothes, he got them, and name brand at that. When William had needed new clothes as a child it was because of the blown out knees in his raggedy blue jeans were to the point that the teachers sent home notes about it.

When Kenji wanted video games, or a new phone, he got them. When William had been a kid he hadn't even owned a damn computer until he had left the house at 19. Even then the computer had been low on the totem pole of machines. Kenji owned a ridiculous high priced smart phone, laptop, and desktop computer, all high end. This said nothing of the consoles and various games he owned, and the name brand clothes. It was enough of a vast contrast to make the new Kenji shakes his head in awe.

To own such nice things and get new things on a whim had been a foreign concept for him in his old life. Needing a new tire for his truck in his old life was likely to fuck him over in his early years of life, while the old Kenji just...didn't get it. He had lived a life of privilege and had hadn't really understood hardship until his parents had died.

His analysis of the last moments of Kenji's life before their fusion was fraught with vast emotional pain. Kenji hadn't had any family on his Mothers side, while his Fathers side of the family was too far flung for any emotional connection with. The sudden death of his parents had truly crushed him. The sudden influx of 'what do I do now?' had almost destroyed him, as he'd never truly had to strive for much in his life.

Before the fusion Kenji had been an emotional wreck, barely eating, sleeping for 12+ hours a day, abusing the hard liquor he could find in the house. He had barely been functioning during the 7 days previous to their fusion. Frankly he had likely been on the fast track to substance abuse issues at the rate he had been going. He wouldn't have been surprised if the old Kenji had started in on drugs at the path he had been going down. The memories revealed that it was obvious he didn't know how to deal with his parents deaths, as he'd never dealt with personal death before.

The old Kenji had lived an easy good life, only to then had been brutally thrust into the ruthlessness of the real world. It was sad, but his older cynical memories showed it to be all too common. Kenji had to shake off his maudlin thoughts, he was making himself depressed.

He stretched out within the seat as he stretched the stiff muscles in his back, only to pause as he felt something press against his leg from within his pocket. He reached into his pants pocket and felt three round thick coins within. He frowned as he realized his gold, silver, and bronze stat coins had arrived. He was displeased that he hadn't realized when they had popped into his pocket as he wanted to know exactly when they appear everyday. He couldn't say for sure that they had arrived after midnight or some time later as he hadn't really been paying attention.

He fingered the coins within his pocket for several moments before he withdrew his hand, he didn't want to pull out three obviously interesting coins like that on a crowded plane. His thoughts ran over the utility of the coins, mostly that the coins were actually a bit superfluousness considering his recent gains with the Gluttony Sin. Gluttony was quite obviously better at generating stat points then he could ever gain from the stat coins but he wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth, after all every little bit helped.

He also wondered just how he might benefit from using his Gluttony Sin on the stat coins. He had already proven with the Luck Potion that he could devour his odd delivered items, which the stat coins also were. It would be an interesting experiment to see what might happen.

He decided to not waste any time as he got up from his seat, making his way to the bathroom. Once he got inside he pulled the three stat coins out of his pocket, examining them for a moment. He then heavily concentrated on primed his Gluttony Sin, his mouth warming with the odd feeling of readiness to devour whatever was placed within it. He then popped the gold stat coin into his mouth, the coin being devoured by his Gluttony Sin instantly.

Gold Stat Coin Devoured, Exotic Tier – Gold Coin Mutation Gained

Enriched- Gold, Orchalum – Gain a Gold, Orchalum Stat Coin Every Day.

Kenji felt his eyebrows jerk up in surprise, his thoughts stalling out for a moment at the word 'Orchalum'. He then felt a yearning hunger within his belly, a orchalum stat coin was definitely something new. He hadn't anticipated this but he sure as hell wasn't complaining. A bronze coin gave 1 stat point, a silver gave 3, while a gold gave 5. He had a deep curiosity for what a orchalum stat coin would give, he really wanted to know what the silver and bronze coins would do now. He once more concentrated on priming his Gluttony Sin, mentally frowning at how much more difficult it was to activate the power when nothing was already within his mouth. Yet he had to have his power primed before he put the stat coin in his mouth, or the stat coin would dissolve into stat points before his Gluttony Sin would activate.

Silver Stat Coin Devoured, Exotic Tier – Silver Coin Mutation Gained

Enriched- Silver, Mithril– Gain a Silver, Mithril Stat Coin Every Day.

Again Kenji felt that same gnawing hunger at what exactly a Mithril coin would give to him. Would it be just a higher level stat gain? Or would he gain something more interesting then a mere increase in stat points. He really wanted to know but he'd have to wait until his new stat coins would arrive the next day. He quickly popped the last stat coin, his bronze coin, into his mouth.

Bronze Stat Coin Devoured, Exotic Tier – [Ability] Bronze Conversion Gained

[Ability] Bronze Conversion – The ability to convert any mundane coin into a bronze stat coin. Usable 2 times a day.

Kenji's eyes narrowed in thought as he mentally analyzed the interesting ability. He was very intrigued to continue on with this line of experimentation, pulling a few coins out of his pocket. He quickly set two quarters on the flat in his hand. He then utilized his new Bronze Conversion ability and used his two charges to convert the mundane quarters.

He closely watched with interest as the two ordinary quarters transformed into two bronze stat coins over the next five seconds. He hefted the coins for a second, his lips quirking into a devilish smirk for a moment. He then put one of the bronze stat coins into his mouth, his primed Gluttony Sin devouring it.

Bronze Stat Coin Devoured, Exotic Tier – [Ability] Bronze Conversion Gained, [Spell] INT Boost Gained

[Ability] Bronze Conversion – The ability to convert any mundane coin into a bronze stat coin. Usable 2, 3 times a day.

[Spell] INT Boost – The caster may temporarily increase the INT stat, the stat that governs magical strength and spell damage. Spells lasts one hour.

Cost – 500 MP for 10% increase

1,000 MP for 20% increase

1,500 MP for 30% increase

2,000 MP for 40% increase

2,500 MP for 50% increase

Kenji stared hard at the ability and spell he had gained. He'd never gained two things at once from a single object before now. He didn't count Ravels vaginal juices squirting into his mouth, as that had technically been two different things. Her vaginal juices from her squirted orgasm, and her vaginal blood from her pierced hymen. While this was definitely two gains from one object.

The increase in ability for the Bronze Conversion was very nice, while the INT boosting spell was interesting. It was certainly useful, but its cost was going make it unusable until his reserves grew larger. Definitely a spell that would prove very useful later on once he could cast it without emptying his reserves.

It once more brought home that he needed to learn what his regen rate was. When he got back to his seat he'd definitely need to experiment with a few non-obvious spells to observe his MP regen rate. He popped the other bronze stat coin into his mouth, the coin being devoured quickly.

Bronze Stat Coin Devoured, Exotic Tier – [Spell] INT Boost Gained

[Spell] INT Boost – The caster may temporarily increase the INT stat, the stat that governs magical strength and spell damage. Spells lasts one, two hours.

Cost – 500 MP for 10% increase

1,000 MP for 20% increase

1,500 MP for 30% increase

2,000 MP for 40% increase

2,500 MP for 50% increase

Kenji nodded his head as he pulled out another quarter. He just had to keep devouring the bronze coins and hope that interesting boosting spell would keep increasing in utility. He could only hope the cost to cast it would lower as well. He used his final third charge on his Bronze Conversion ability, turning another quarter into a bronze stat coin.

Bronze Stat Coin Devoured, Exotic Tier – [Spell] WIS Boost Gained

[Spell] WIS Boost – The caster may temporarily increase the WIS stat, the stat that governs magical defense and spell resistance. Spell lasts for 1 hour.

Cost – 500 MP for 10% increase

1,000 MP for 20% increase

1,500 MP for 30% increase

2,000 MP for 40% increase

2,500 MP for 50% increase

Kenji nodded his head as he left the bathroom. He definitely noticed the obvious pattern from devouring the bronze stat coins. His two spell gains from that specific coin were both spells that would increase two of his stats, INT and WIS respectively. Which made a sort of sense as the stat coins at their base were for originally boosting his stats. This lead him to believe that he might eventually get the whole spread of stat increasing spells.

His Bronze Conversion ability was very interesting as well. The ability to create more bronze stat coins from regular coins wasn't something he'd expected. Especially as it had already shone itself to increase in utility from converting two coins to three. The more bronze stat coins he could convert, the the more chances he'd have at increasing the utility of his stat boosting spells. He hummed in pleasure as he sat down in his seat, considering the time he spent devouring his daily stat coins time very well spent.

Yet he needed to figure out his MP regen rate, not knowing how much mana he had to work with and how fast it would regenerate was dangerous. In a combat situation he would need to know if he could rely on his mana regenerating enough to aid him in casting more spells on the fly. Or would his regen rate be so slow that relying on it in a combat situation would get him hurt or killed.

He eyed the pretty Asian girl next to him, his eyes lingering on her stressed and tired countenance as she quickly typed away on her laptop. It was obvious that she was stressed, tired, and overworked. He was glad that most of his spells did not have actual visual effects when cast. As it allowed him to use them without giving himself away, which was definitely a good thing.

He mentally called up his interface, his eyes lingering on his MP which was full at 450 MP. He then cast Healing Wind twice in quick succession on the tired looking young woman next to him. The healing magic had an obvious effect even though she likely wasn't technically 'hurt'. The slight bags under her eyes smoothed away, while the tiredness in her frame was flushed out, causing her to perk up as the color of her skin returned a bit. Her slightly bloodshot eyes quickly cleared up as well, her pretty brown eyes gaining a bit more life to them as her fatigue was bled away.

She gave a light sigh on contentment as she paused in her furious work for several long moments. Then she returned to her furious pace of typing, her magically induced second wind giving her greater focus. Kenji watched as his MP slowly built back up to full, his Number Cruncher trait allowing him to easily calculate the regen rate.

10 MP a minute seemed to be his rate of regen for his mana levels. Not the best rate, but he was sure that he would gain something eventually that would increase it. As it stood that was definitely not a regen rate that he could rely on in combat, it was just too slow to be of use in any but the most protracted of battles. He would definitely have to figure out how to use his Alchemy/Potion making abilities to create MP potions.

His eyes flitted over to his HP bar, the 50 HP sitting pretty next to his MP bar. He also needed to figure out his HP regen rate, but it wasn't quite so simple as casting a spell to lower it. As he was trying to figure out to injure himself he realized he could just use his Blood Ritual ability to supercharge a low MP cost spell. That would then reduce his HP without any obvious effects, hopefully, while still allowing him to gauge his HP regen rate.

With his plan now firmly in mind he selected a low MP spell that wouldn't kill him with his test. He decides that his lowest, most easily concealed spell is the Heat spell. As his lust magic spell could be cast at a measly 20 MP at the lowest which will only cause 10 HP worth of damage. Yet upon second thought the idea of blasting some poor soul with a double strength lust spell seemed a bit mean.

His eyes flitted over to the pretty brown eyed girl next to him, the idle thought of hitting her with his Heat spell flashing over his mind. He would admit that pumping her full of lust magic, then trying to get her into the bathroom for a quick fuck did cross his mind. Yet he decided that was just a bit too mean, as she was obviously very busy with whatever she was doing on her laptop. He decided that casting the Electronic Anti-Viral spell on her laptop would work, he'd take 20 damage instead of 10 but it would be fine as he could heal it if he needed to.

He dismissed the wandering thoughts from his head, it was experimentation time. He instinctively used his Blood Ritual, drawing upon his life force to supercharge his Electronic Anti-Viral spell. He could feel his life force drop as it supercharged the spell, infusing the laptop with its effect. It was curious that the Blood Ritual didn't hurt at all, considering that he almost reduced his HP by half.

Kenji was pleased when his missing 20 HP regenerated within exactly 10 minutes, thus revealing a 2 HP per minute regeneration factor. Not near as high as his MP regeneration rate, but still very very good. He considered it good because he could essentially fully heal from near death, to full heath, in 25 minutes. He did wonder if he could regenerate missing limbs, but considering there was only one way to test that he demurred. ​

------Sin Lord------

As he lazed about in his seat for the next hour he idly sucked in a mouth full of air, puffing his cheeks out. He then activated his Gluttony Sin, wondering if he would gain anything. When the black next of his interface popped up with an Gluttony Sin alert he was momentarily pleased.

Air Devoured, Trash Tier – Nothing Gained

Kenji's eyebrow popped up at the discovery of a new tier. Trash Tier, his interface had revealed to him. He guessed that a Trash Tier level of object was lower then Low Tier rank. He also guessed it was the super common things that existed in the world, like water, or dirt perhaps. It made sense as air was literally everywhere that oxygen breathing creatures were.

Kenji spent the next ten minutes devouring air until he hit the 50 devouring limit for the next week. In the end the Trash Tier revealed itself to live up to its name of trash, as he'd only had a single gain. The gain was also a measly one stat point reward at that, which he quickly assigned to his WIS.

Kenji yawned, his eyes showing fatigue. His past weeks errant sleep schedule was actually coming in handy now. Since Japan was 14 hours ahead of California, it was pretty much perfect for him to sleep until arrival. It would also set his sleep schedule to match Japans, so he wouldn't even need to worry about that either. With his thoughts collected he leaned back to go to sleep, his eyes closing. ​

------Sin Lord------

Underworld, Phenex Compound

Nellina Phenex looked on in mild amusement as her charge, Ravel Phenex marched/floated down the Phenex clans hallway with a determined set to her face. She also had a glow about her that came from her little rendezvous with her boy toy. It had been an interesting night watching over her niece as she had made her way through the Human world. She'd thought it would end up like every other night little Ravel had went to the Human world, her charge dancing a bit, drinking a little, then returning home a bit disappointed in herself.

This was the 8th time her charge had visited a Human night club, telling her that this would be the time she found a boy worthy of her. Nellina had nodded her head, letting none of her mild amusement show as to the future accuracy of that statement. It seemed that little Ravel would go to these Human clubs to find a boy, only for her to chicken out at the last minute.

It had been a reoccurring theme for the past 6 months. Ravel would get dressed up, which had improved over time, go to a club, try to find a boy that was "worthy" then take him to bed to ravish her. Only she would go to the club, drink a small amount of the special liquor that was required for a regenerator like a Phenex to get drunk, then chicken out if any guys showed interest in her. She had found it all terribly amusing, watching her young charge dither about in her attempt to remove her, as she had called it, "pesky virginity."

Only this time it seemed that little Ravel had found someone, or more accurately been found by someone. She'd seen the impressively cut young man from her vantage point stalking across the room, his eyes fixed on Ravel as she'd descended the stairs of the club. The young male teen's dark blue eyes had been solely on Ravel as he'd moved through the crowd, ignoring all the other displays of writhing female flesh on display around him as he made his way to her Niece.

Nellina had to give the boy credit, the moment he'd seen Ravel he had made it apparent that he knew what and who he wanted. She watched in amusement as the boy had convinced a blushing Ravel to the dance floor with only a few mouthed words. Their bodies quickly coming together, dancing to the beat of the music.

She watched as her charge tried to match the young man, faltering in her attempt due to her inexperience at modern Human dancing. Only for the young man to use his hands to guide Ravel's movements to the beat, while also pulling her in closer. Ravel's atomic face made her crack a grin as she was pulled into the young mans hard body.

Nellina had been surprised at Ravel twisting around to lock lips with the teen. It seemed she got to be witness to Ravel's first kiss as she locked lips with the red haired boy. She felt a bit of satisfaction for her niece, then more amusement as the boy groped said nieces ass.

She watched as the two danced for the next 45 minutes, her niece getting into the spirit of it by grinding her ass on the boys own crotch. When Ravel grabbed the boys hand and led him out of the club her eyebrows had jerked up in surprise at the boldness of her girl. She had radioed ahead to the vetted female driver of the Human company that drove around VIPs to be ready to pick her and her charge up with one extra.

She had stealthy slipped into the limo as Ravel all but dragged the boy into the vehicle with her. She had slipped into the compartment in front of the one her niece was in, remaining close, but unobtrusive. She had then cast a one way transparency spell on the glass divider, allowing her to see into the rear compartment even as her enhanced hearing allowed her to hear everything. She felt zero shame in spying on her niece, as if she had any to begin with. She was here to watcher her charge and keep her safe, nothing else mattered.

As she watched the two begin to molest each other she reminisced about the time when her Sister, technically half-sister, had contacted her.

"Little Sister," Nellina had rumbled in her deep contralto, her voice being commonly described as smokey, yet deeply alluring with an undertone of power.

"Big Sister," Lefreena had responded, her voice filled with a deep love and fondness as she tightly hugged her, her arms only barely reaching around her large frame.

Nellina had always been larger then normal, a likely side effect of being half-devil half-dragon. She had been born from the union of the two Sisters Father and a unknown female Dragon. Obviously the female Dragon had been shapeshifted at the time, but her draconic lineage had shined through nevertheless. She had quickly capped out at seven foot three inches tall, her muscled frame littered with patches of exotic purple scales across her body.

She was strong, in physical strength, durability, and magic. All three coming to her very easily as she'd grown into herself. She had made quite the name for herself during the Devil civil war. As was obvious she'd been on the side of the rebels with her family, as a half breed like her was anathema to the Old Satan Faction's ideals. Her prowess on the battlefield had turned many a tide in the favor of the rebels, her draconic strength easily shining through across the battlefield.

Many pure blood Devils, even the ones on the rebel side, had derided her for being only half-devil, but not her little Sister. They had always loved one another, never divided, always united. They'd had each others backs during the civil war in every battle, and only grown closer for it.

So when she had called upon her for a favor, she had already decided to accept whatever she needed. She was her little Sister, if she needed her big Sister for something then she would give it and gladly. So when she'd came into the Phenex mansion in the later evening she'd been curious but prepared to help her Sister in whatever she needed. Once the pleasantries had been exchanged they got to the meat of the matter.

"I want you to guard my youngest Nellina," Lefreena had easily admitted as her hands had traced the backs of Nellina's hands, outlining a small patch of purple scales.

"Little Ravel huh?" She had asked as her mind raced. "Why? Or why me? You have plenty of guards and solders that could do a good job."

Lefreena nodded her head at the obvious question even as she hesitated to answer, "...I have a bad feeling big Sister. I feel like something is going to happen soon...something terrible."

Nellina's eyes narrowed, her mind kicking into overdrive instantly, her eyes darted around at the shadows of the room. The secretiveness of the meeting late at night, no guards or servants to be seen on the way in. It all made sense now, her little Sister was very concerned about something.

"Are you being threatened?" Nellina asked, the razor sharp tips of her purple talons creeping out of her fingertips. "Who is it? I'll kill them all."

She said this statement as a simple fact, undeniable and foregone.

"No one, at least nothing that I can see." Lefreena said quickly, her hands stroking her cheeks to calm her down.

Nellina calmed instantly at her little Sister actions, it was obvious what ever threat it was was distant for the moment.

"Just a...feeling then hm?" Nellina said, her mind racing. "Like old times?"

At her little Sisters nod Lefreena relaxed just a bit more. Her little Sister had always had a low key gift that had proved itself in the past. Foresight, Seersight, ESP, Prophesy, whatever you wanted to call it but her little Sister had it. Or at least a very low power version of it. She would get tiny feelings of danger, the longer the feeling would last the greater the danger. The strongest sense she had never gotten had been six months before the civil war had broke out. The feeling of danger had lasted for six hours, and had caused her little Sister to warn the whole family.

"How long was the feeling?" Nellina asked directly, her mind going a mile a minute.

Her eyes widened as her little Sister gave a small sob before she whispered out, her voice damning, "A month."

Nellina metaphysically reeled at the answer, her little Sister had never received such a long warning before. The longest had been preceding the civil war, for her to have gotten a month long warning could only mean total war, beyond any she could think of except the Great War.

"Why did you wait so long to tell me?" Nellina asked softy, her fingers stroking her little Sisters cheek with affection.

"I was afraid," Lefreena admitted, "I...didn't want to think it could be anything but a fluke...but I knew I had to tell you. I'd thought I might have been going insane big Sister...a month? I don't know what could be the precursor for this but its...terrible to imagine. The Great War reignited perhaps?"

Nellina nodded her head at Lefreena's words, her mind racing.

"I'll do it of course, you should have already known that." She said with steadfast loyalty.

Lefreena gave a soft smile at her words, nodding her head.

"I'll guard her steadfastly, tell you everything that she does, keep her safe." Nellina nodded her head.

"No." Lefreena said immediately, shaking her head. "I don't want that, I just want you to guard her, keep her safe, even from herself. But keep her confidence, don't inform on her to others. I want her to trust you, so she doesn't try to go behind your back. If she thinks your her keeper instead of her shield then she might try to circumvent you, and she is very clever. Just keep her safe for me big Sister, but let her live her life as she wants to, within reason of course."

Nellina dipped her head in acquiescence at her little Sisters request.

"Even if she tries to loose her virginity?" Nellina inquired.

"Ravel is my fourth child Nellina, and she is my little girl." Lefreena said easily, a proud smile forming on her lips. "I've forced her Father to give me control over her, so her future is her own. If she wants to lose her virginity outside of marriage then that is her choice. If she wants to marry a non-pure blood then that is also her choice. I love her and I will take any blame that falls on her for her choices. So she can have choices. I will not allow her to become like the poor Gremory girl, fleeing to the Human world because of her parent's selfish, greedy actions."

Nellina nodded her head, her little Sister had always wanted her children to have all the choices they could. She'd never been able to wrestle total control away for her Sons but she apparently succeeded with her Daughter. She smiled down at her little Sister, very proud of her.
