We are sitting in the orc club. The room was dark. The only light came from a few candles. Rias sat at her desk with her head resting on her hands as akeno was standing beside her. Kiba stood near the door, probably in case we tried to run if i had to guess. There are two couches on one of them sat issei and koneko sitting next to each other. Koneko was just eating sweats, not bothered by the tension in the room at all, whereas issei looked nervous as he had sweat on his forehead along with his leg that keeps bouncing up and down repeatedly, which is not all that surprising.
I was laying on the other couch, taking up all the room. I had my legs laying up against the arm rest as I rested my head against a pillow. She said to make ourselves comfortable, and that's exactly what I did, although It is obvious that akeno doesn't like how I am acting from the glare she was giving me from time to time to which I return it with a smug smile of my own which just seems to annoy her even more.
Rias slowly opens her eyes and looks at issei. " Issei, do you believe in the supernatural? " She asked in a low but serious voice.
He tilted his head and scratches his chin. " Well yeah, I kind of have to since I'm a devil now. " Says issei clearly accepting the supernatural.
Rias nods her head. " I understand you might not know what I'm talking ab- wait you know you're a devil? " Says rias in a surprised tone.
"Yeah, Hikari filled me in on everything." says issei
He points a finger at me and I give a light wave to rias. " your welcome. "
" I-i see. "I couldn't help but laugh at her reaction she lost her chance to appear as some kind of benevolent master to issei. Well, that's what you get for being late." is something funny Hikari." Rias says in a serious voice
." just you. " I say bluntly.
she looks at me as she crosses her arms under her ample chest." Hmph don't think you are off the hook Hikari you still need to answer our questions. Such as who are you and what is your purpose here. "
' Well, I guess it's about time for me to explain myself to these devils. '
after she spoke all, eyes were on me. I sit up from my earlier position. " First off you already know who I am. I didn't lie about my name as for my purpose. " I point at rias. " That would be you rias gremory and the other ruler of kouh I was sent to observe you guys and that is what i have been doing for these past six months. "
Her gaze on me sharpens. " On who's authority? "She says in a rude tone as she stares me down.
I point my finger upwards. " the ruler of Japan and the leader of the Shinto faction Amaterasu. " i say as a smile spread across my face as I enjoy the look of shock on the devils faces at the mention of Amaterasu
At my words they all seem to gain a shocked look on their face. Rias was about to speak again however I stopped her before she could. " I'm not finished. You probably want to say that I have no right to be here as it is your territory but, in the contract, it states that lady Amaterasu can send a representative to watch over the current rulers of kouh if she is dissatisfied with them and how they have been running this territory. " As I finished speaking rias looked offended and angry as she had a scowl on her face. " Dissatisfied what does she have to be dissatisfied about we have been doing job and maintained order here. " She says trying to justify herself.
Akeno steps forward and looks down at me also displeased by what I have said. " I agree with rias you have no reason to be here Hikari as this is devil territory and not Shinto and even so Amaterasu has no need to send someone to watch over us we have done everything we are supposed to and have done nothing to displease Amaterasu. "
While the rest of her peerage except for issei agree with her. Since right now he doesn't know who's side to be on. he just looks between me and Akeno unsure of who he is supposed to agree with.
I scoff at her as I roll my eyes. " Maintained order is that what you think? You have fallen angels running around your territory and stray devils constantly invading here to hide killing innocent humans. and as for you Akeno Kouh still belongs to the Shinto faction so me being here is completely justified and let's not forget how you let issei die so you could reincarnate him into your service when you had multiple chances to save him. Have you thought about his say in any of this or did you think he would just go along with it. Well not like he has a choice anymore. " Rias and the group look away not looking my way anymore as they shrink back from my harsh words.
" h-h-hey so uh what do you mean I don't have a choice. " Says issei now scared and nervous.
I sigh as I look at him with a pitiful look. " It means you are in rias services and if you refuse to follow her or leave her group it means you will be transformed into a monster or more commonly known as a stray devil that's eats human flesh you will be nothing but a shadow of your former self. those evil pieces rias put into you that turned you into a devil causes that to happen as a way to insure loyalty and obedience from reincarnated devils like yourself. "Issei starts hyperventilating as he passes out shortly after smacking his head on the table.
' Yeah, that's about the reaction I was expecting from him. well, that's about all I have to say I guess I should go ahead and leave now. '
I get up and head to the door, but Kiba is standing in my way with his hand on his sword. I just look at him. He hesitates as rias knight it is only natural to defend his king's honor, but he also knows there isn't anything he can do.
" Kiba step aside. " The voice comes from rias no longer having that same pride or authority in her voice.
" didn't you hear your master give you a command. " I say as I look at Kiba he hesitates for a bit longer letting go of the sword handle before finally stepping to the side.
I open the door to walk out but stop as I have one last thing to say. " Oh, one last thing since my presence here is now known that means I have no reason to hide so I will be monitoring you guys up close from now on. " I say with a smile on my face as I walk out of the room that is now deathly quiet.
