Kurayami was the happiest he had ever been as he looked at Shin who has a new collar and cross on his neck. It seems his sacred gears evolved and fused into one. Lavinia tried to pet him and Shin liked her. She sighed in relief and looked at him. “How do you feel? You just did something insane.” However, Akeno was mad. “How could you do something so stupid? You could have died.”

Raynare nodded. “What if you couldn’t handle it? I would lose my best friend and husband. I would be a widow before we even got married.” Esdeath nodded. “While admirable I still need you alive.” Kuroka, who was in cat form and began to slam her paws on his head. “DON’T KILL OUR FUTURE KITTENS!..” Azazel threw a pencil at his head which made him hold his head.

“You can’t die yet, kid. Baraqiel would kill me and Shuri would rip my balls off. Plus your pets take more resources that need to return.” He sighed and nodded. “I won’t. Now Tobio. I have Canis Lycaon and you were tricked. However you are now a fallen angel and we can seal your memories away, but Sae will remember everything. You still got potential so while I tricked and got him” Shin was left slack-jawed and saw how the small dog looked smug.

‘Wait? Why did I give him away?’ He looked at Kurayami who looked at him like he was an idiot. “Can I have him back?” Kurayami scoffed and pointed at the cross of Shin’s neck. “Nope. My sacred gears fused and are stuck with me. I will get your girlfriend back as I am in a good mood, so idiot Tobio. What will you do now?” Tobio fell on the couch and felt ashamed.

“Don’t take it too hard. I could probably scam Azazel into giving me Fafnir if I wanted.” Azazel laughed. “In your dreams. Anyway, what did you get out of this?” Kurayami put down Shin and focused on his sacred gear and dense purple flames appeared in his right hand while Black flames appeared in his left.

His wings came from his back and the left 6 were covered in white lighting while black appeared on his right. He focused and found that he could still use his flames and lighting as if nothing changed. The shadows under them were under his control and he grinned as he found this totally worth it. “Well I can do more, but I need time. Who is next on the list?”

Akeno looked the list over and pointed at the next person. “Some guy called Kouki Samejima.” Natsume spoke up. “The delinquent? I saw him at the funeral where he seemed pretty broke about losing his friend on the ship.” Kurayami looked at the hawk and squinted his eyes. Natsume noticed his gaze and hugged Griffon tighter. “I am not falling for that.”

Azazel raised his hand. “You don’t need to worry about Kouki as I sent Vali for him. When he finds out what you did he will be after the Red Dragon Emperor to do the same.” Kurayami thought about the kid and knew he did his own missions for Azazel. “How has he been? Haven’t seen him in a few weeks.” Vali began to train with Ares and he even stopped sleeping to train more.

Azazel nodded. “He has been training like a maniac with Ares. He is just that good of a trainer.” Ares scoffed. “Of course I am. I am a god of war after all.” Natsume and Tobio looked at Ares and he looked less like a god and more like a biker thug. He lowered his glasses and she looked right into two burning cores. She felt her anger begin to rise and yet Ares lifted his glasses back.

She felt faint and Raynare laughed. “You just felt the influence of a god. Coach here increases your rage, hate and negative emotions. The more you feel that the stronger he gets. When he fought him he was overconfident.” Ares scoffed, but he didn’t deny it. “I am leaving. Boy, expect your training to quadruple a new power is useless if you don’t master it.”

Kurayami sat on a coach and just relaxed. “Well if Kouki is coming here then we just have two more targets. Azazel did you send anyone else after them or do we have to go.” Both Shin and Aurora jumped on his lap and the girls noticed how the little lion had changed a great deal after he got Canis Lycaon. They all began to pet her and she flipped on her back to get belly rubs.

Aurora’s fur was mostly gold, but she had black lines running through her like a tiger. “Well let’s find Walburga, take her sacred gear give it to Akeno and save my cousins girlfriend.” Tobio blushed and shook his head. “SHE IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!” Kurayami looked at a picture of her and frowned. “I forgot you Japanese are weird.” Natsume frowned. “What do you mean weird?” He looked at her and smirked.

“Not direct and are very conservatives. I much rather be in America, but that is the land of the Greeks. Maybe I can scam Zeus off another pet if I go there.” Tobio and Natsume were confused. “Scam another one. You act like you did that already.” He pointed at Aurora and they were shocked. “You scammed a god to get her?”

He was going to say yes, but Azrael coughed to get his attention. He sighed and explained. “The old man did it. I just benefited from it.” Azrael frowned. “Old man. I will let you know I am still in my prime.” Kurayami looked at him and smirked. “You sure you won’t keel over dead any moment? Grandfather-in-law you should sit. Your old bones could break.”

Azrael glared at him and grabbed his head and began to crush it. “OW. OW. OW. IT’S THE TRUTH!” Raynare chuckled and looked at her grandfather and asked. “Can you let him go? However I am more shocked that he can make jokes.” They all nodded and he was left holding his head. “I am trying ok, but still how old are you anyway?” Azrael and Azazel were left thinking and answered. “The millenias just go by I lost count.”

Azazel shook his head to get back his focus. “I sent Baraqiel along with Annabeth and Clarise. With the training they went under, it’s time to allow some of the demigods to go on field duty.” Esdeath and interested. “Hey. What about their auras attracting monsters.” He shook his head. “No problem. Some of them have learned basic magic and can use that to protect themselves.”

Lavinia yawned as they had gone for two people and it was late at night. Kurayami decided it was time to go home. “Well it is late and we should go home. Bye.” Akeno, Esdeath, Raynare and Kuroka who was still on his head got close to him and before he could leave he was stopped by Azrael. “Wait. What about Tobio, Lavinia and Natsume. You just leaving them here.”

Kurayami looked at them and saw how Lavinia looked a little sad. “Well our house is running out of room. If my mom knew more people were going to stay she would have a heart attack.” Azrael grinned and his next words made Kurayami freeze. “Well what would she say when she hears that you scammed your cousin out of his sacred gear?”

Kurayami hugged his two pets tighter and glared at Azrael. “You wouldn’t dare.” Azrael smiled and made a magic circle to call Shuri. “FINE. Don’t tell her. She would kill me and then bring me back just to kill me again.” Azazel smiled. “You sure she wouldn’t torture you first, Baraqiel knows full well what she can do.” He shuddered at the thought and looked at Azazel.

“You are going to need to give us a bigger house for the amount of people you expect us to take in.” Azazel nodded. “I was planning on it. With bastards like Kokabiel and Zanatel around I am planning on moving you out. Right now Shuri is with her niece who is very strong, but in the future she can’t be left alone as she will be a target.”

Tobio raised his hand. “So your mom was from the Himejima clan? Why was she exiled then?” Kurayami pointed at himself. “Mine and Akeno’s dad is a Fallen Angel. Is that not enough reason to kick her out? They exiled your grandmother just for using a different branch of magic.” Lavinia hugged him from behind and pushed his head in her bosom.

“I still have a chance to get Aurora to like me.” Aurora harrumphed and jumped in Esdeath’s arms. Kurayami smiled. “I don’t think you got a lot of hope. She is a little prideful princess.” She jumped back in his hands and he teleported them all home. When he got there his cousin Suzako was still here, but when Shuri saw the new people with them she smiled, but it was no smile.

Suzako looked at that and shivered as she knew her aunt well enough to know that there was no smile. When they went inside and saw his mother smiling at him he whistled and began to walk away. He didn’t know when, but his mother appeared behind him and touched his shoulder. “So, you bring two more girls here and I assume that is Tobio.”

He nodded. “I had no choice. Old man Azrael strong armed me into doing it. Also Azazel said you will be moved out of here for your safety soon. Sanatell has defected and you know that dad has a lot of enemies and your pregnant right now.” Shuri sighed and looked at Tobio. She smiled and introduced herself. “I am Shuri Himejima, your cousin.”

Tobio saw how she resembled his grandmother when she was young and bowed. “I am Tobio Ikuse, or Himejima. It’s good to meet you.” Suzako looked at the small black dog in Kurayami’s hands and went back to Tobio. “Tobio. I am Suzako, your cousin as well, but what happened to your sacred gear?” Kurayami began to sweat bullets and whistled while making a secret teleport circle.

“I don’t have it anymore. I got tricked out of it.” Both women looked at where Kurayami was, but they just saw a note stuck to a black sword saying. “It was a puppy and I had to have it. No hurt feelings Tobio.” Kurayami appeared back in America at Camp Half blood. When Mr. D felt his presence and felt the familiar feeling of Canis Lycon he shuddered.

‘How the hell did that kid get that thing? His flames alone were a threat and now this. Should I eliminate him?’ He thought about that, but he remembered how Azrael stood up for the kid. He decided to just report it to Zeus next time he gets to Olympus.

Kurayami had both Aurora and Shin in his hands and a few campers who saw him recognized him. Percy ran over and wanted to know how his mom was. “Hey. Kurayami, how is my mom?” Kurayami smiled. “Pregnant. You’re going to be a big brother.” Percy felt shocked, but Kurayami broke out laughing. “She is not pregnant, but she might be. I don’t know.”

Percy was pissed he got tricked, but could do nothing. Chiron trotted over and when he saw Shin he nearly had a heart attack. “Where did you get that?” Kurayami smiled. “I scammed my cousin. I just need to stay over for a day while my mom calms down.”

Chiron sighed and he needed to know. “How are the kids you took?” Kurayami put down both creatures who began to wrestle and he nodded. “Great. Ares has been a great trainer and some of them kids like Annabeth and Clarise are clear for field duty.”

Kurayami looked over at the tree and noticed it was beginning to wither. “What’s wrong with the tree?” Chiron frowned and sighed. “I shall explain what has occurred.”
