(A/N Ok I know many of you didn't want me to drop this fanfic to make yet another high school dxd fanfic....but I couldn't resist, for almost a year I've looked for a Sesshomaru in dxd world fanfiction and no one wants to right it, so I said "Fine, I'll do it myself....." )
20 years ago in the village of Dungletale
After Agnes's village was razed, the village was also burned down in order to make sure all traces of the disease would disappear
This was what was called sacrificing a few to save a lot
Flames roared, things melted. That's how it went.
Looking over the large fire was a group of men ironically wearing capes as if they were some type of heroes, but this group was directly responsible for burning this village.
And if you could look closely, one man who looked particularly sinister looked over the fire and laughed in delight
He was tall and muscular with blonde spikey-at the top hair, and a striking pale blue eye. There seemed to be a shadow over his other eye
And he laughed
"Hahahaha...The battlefield is an amazing place...."
Scene change present day Albion
The same tall, blond and frightening looking man who took part in the burning of Dungletown approached the reception room
He looked much older and wore an eye patch over his right eye.
The man reached the door of the reception room and was met by the same woman who assassinated the "king of reconquista"
(A/N see chapter 21)
She near a closed window and upon making eye contact with him she made her way to her desk a few feet in front of her
"Thank you for coming, Menville.
I'd like to borrow your strength."
She said and sat down
The man called Menville was leaning against a wall with his left eye closed
The right eye had a patch on it
Notably over his left eye there was a scar going across it, from below his eye on his cheek to his forehead
"My unit is filled with wild ones. What do you want us to do ?" He said while opening his left eye
"You heard how Tristain and Germania captured our port right ?" The woman said
"And your telling me to repel them." Menville
"No, I don't expect you to burn down 500 ships."
While she was saying that Menville had shifted his attention to his weapon which looked like a big broom sized rod with a mixer grinder as a head
He turned back to her with a huge teeth showing smile and said
"I don't like the roundabout conversation, tell me the place I get to burn." Menville
"The magic academy." She said
"The magic academy. Heheheh" He repeated, then snickered
Scene change
Louise and Shera was fast asleep in Louise's dorm on her bed
For whatever reason a floating piece of rope floated over Louise and then, tied her up
Louse, now floating, floated right to a human sized sack
The rope then dumped her body and to the bag
"Gah ! EH Shera ! Rem ! Help me !" Louise shouted waking up while struggling
Shera at this point woke up because of Louise's shouting, she was just in time too because the sack with Louise inside was floating away out of the room
Louise shouted and screamed the whole time
The bag relocated itself to a fully concrete room, conveniently down the hall and emptied Louise out
"You can't do this, do you know who I am ! ?" Louise shouted and then looked up
Who she saw was her blond haired sister
"Eleanor ?" Louise said in surprise, Shera entered the room, she wore a troubled smile on her face almost as if she expected this to happen
"You will remain here." Eleanor said with a very serious face
"What ?! Why ?" Louise asked
"Because of what you said the other day." Eleanor
Flashback: A few days ago
It was sunny out and the musketeer unit was out training
"Down !" The ladies shouting while crouching to one knee
" Shoot !" They said aiming their rifles outward in formation
Then
The soldiers took their rifles and did target practice with drawings attached to trees
" Aim.....Fire !" Agnes
One of them missed her shot and Agnes yelled at her
"Don't miss next time!"
Agnes continued to look on their training when Louise approached
" Agnes, you guys really are working hard today is there something going on ?" Louise
"Yes this will be our last week here, we will go into battle with her majesty.
She has declared she would go onto the front lines with the army." Agnes
"What !? In that case, I too will go to the front lines !" Louise declared like a half wit
"No, the battlefield is no place for a child." Agnes said and then walked away in the opposite direction
"Wait !" Louise said and started following before she felt a hand on her shoulder, she turned and saw Shera
Flashback ends
"I heard from this elf."
Louise was barring her teeth at Shera
"Shera....." But turned back to Eleanor
"I am the only one who could protect the Queen !" Louise
"How can you protect the Queen, if you can't even properly use magic.
What you'll blow up your own comrades ?" Eleanor
Shera now spoke up
"Also Diablo has given me strict orders to make sure you don't make it to the battlefield.
Even if I have to shoot you." The last sentence caused a moment of silence in the room
"You would kill my sister ?!" Eleanor
"Nope, Diablo has ways to heal you, even from the brink of death." Shera said with a energetic smile
"How is that possible ?" Eleanor said skeptically
"Rem says I can't tell you for some reason." Shera said while touching her chin and trying to remember the reason why she can't
Eleanor turned around back to Louise and continued
"You will stay here until you change your mind." Eleanor
"What !? Your being tyrannical. You can't make me." Eleanor
"Sure I can as long as I have your wand." Eleanor replied and waved Louise's wand
"Huh ? Wait." Louise suddenly lifted off the ground and started to float
Eleanor and Shera walked out and closed the door, Louise was let go the ground
She rushed to the door, which had small space at the top with bars so each person on each side of the door could see each other
Louise grabbed the bars yelled at Eleanor who was walking back down the hallway
"Dummy !" Louise
Shera was still at the door
"It's okay Louise, Agnes and her team leaves in a few days, I'm sure your sister will let you out then so stay positive !" Shera said very positively
Louise grumbled and moaned
Colbert came to the door
"Colbert, let me out of-" Louise was trying to say
"Stop it Louise, your sister is doing this for your own good." Colbert
But I'm the only one who can protect the princess
"Louise, you say will go to the front lines and fight alongside the princess; But what else, will you kill the enemy ?" Colbert asked
"I...." Louise could only look at her feet
"War is a horrible thing, and it doesn't matter if it's for your country or your queen. Murder is murder." Colbert said with a face mixed with hatred and disgust
An image of people running trying to escape flames flashed in his mind
"I can't let my students experience something like that." Colbert said and walked off
Scene change
Diablo was enjoying himself slowly float down from the sky into Cattleya's private estate far north from her mother and father's estate.
This was the place that Cattleya usually went to for vacations and when she wanted to get out of the house for a few days
There were no servants here at the moment due to Diablo's request
Diablo touched the ground a few meters away from the front entrance and then ringed the doorbell
After a minute
"Umm....Who is it ?" Cattleya was asking trying to act as if she didn't know
"Do not play games with me. let me in." Diablo said with a cocky smile
Cattleya opened the door, she wore a troubled expression, but still wearing her sailor outfit
Diablo used cleaning magic to maintain and deodorize the outfit
"How long do you intend to stay here ? " Cattleya
"Tonight will be my last night." Diablo asked walking passed her
"And after this you promise to protect my sister no matter what danger she finds herself in, until you go back o your own world at least ?" Cattleya
"Of course, as long as she is around me or my affiliates she will be safe." Diablo
Diablo had already explained how he and his team are from a different different world and that they are much much stronger than others in this world.
Diablo didn't ask much of Cattleya because he wanted her to get more comfortable with him
Also Diablo secretly felt nervous about the ordeal as well and need time to talk about things
"I have prepared dinner if you are hungry." Cattleya
"Hmm....Yes I think I'll eat with you." Diablo
In the dining room
Cattleya had served Diablo a plate of roasted ham, vegetables and some of other fancy dishes that were french in Diablo's original world
Diablo tasted everything on his plate and found that Cattleya's cooking skills are amazing
"Your ability for cooking is outstanding, your fiance must be quite the lucky guy." Diablo
Cattleya stopped eating and then looked down at her hands, Diablo didn't see this though
"Actually I am not engaged." Cattleya
"Hmm,why not ? Your parents tried to get both your older and younger sister engaged. Why not you ?
It should be relatively easy to marry a woman like you." Diablo
"It's because of my illness, my illness prevents me from not being able to do much.
I can't move around a lot and can't use a lot of magic." Cattleya
(So that's what's going on huh. In her society nobles can't marry commoners and no noble wants to marry someone who is sick and could produce "imperfect" offspring.)
Diablo was thinking to himself, without eating
Catrleya obviously noticed all of this and asked
"You have been here for a few days,you have told me a lot and promise to protect my sister from the future dangers that are sure to come
ahead in the path she is taking; But you have yet to explain what is you want from me in return." Cattleya said with a serious expression
Diablo leaned back in his chair, breathed in and breathed out
"Your father is a powerful noble and your mother is the former leader of the manticore corpse." Diablo
"My father is a stronger rank than most ranks, but is not the strongest. And the manticore corpse has long been replaced by other teams." Cattleya
"Doesn't matter, they are more powerful individuals politically in the kingdom." Diablo
"So what about them ?" Cattleya with the most cutest and uneasy face at the same time
"I want you to watch them, secretly and also the rest of the nobles. What you are able to see that is. You will report to me normally, and you will not lie. And also you will keep our deal secret." Diablo
Cattleya was in shock, she expected something shady, but not this.
"You can't possibly-" Cattleya was starting to say
"Your sister will be dragged into this warzone way or another. Her fate was set in stone the day she was born as a void mage." Diablo
There was no arguing that.
Cattleya went silent and looked down at her plate
"Which is more important your sister's safety or your families secrets.
Will you let your sister become a sacrifice for the country or..." Diablo didn't feel the need to
finish the sentence, and he was right
"Fine. But promise, promise me she won't die in this war against Albion." Cattleya
Scene change
Meville and his crew were on a flying ship swiftly approaching the magic academy
"So there is only women are currently at the school right ?" One of the crewman asked with a very perverted face
"Yes, the male students have all been sent to war." Another said rubbing his hands together
"I say we have our fun with them before we kill them !" Another villainous crewman said with a very ugly grin
"Jeez you guys are the worst." Menville laughed
"When we go in, we go in quietly." Menville continued
Over the school, the crew threw out chains and slid down into the school and climbed their fence
Two guards of Agnes were on duty, passing each other
Menville and his henchman appeared from the bushes and knocked them unconscious
In side the school
Screaming could be heard through out the halls, in each hallway,the students were dragged from their rooms and held hostage of each other
Agnes room
One of Menville's henchmen spotted Agnes. laying on her side, sound asleep
He crept further into the room.....and lunged
