(CHILD MURDER. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!)

Kuroka took a deep breath and decided to tell Koneko something she did not know.

“You already know that the man who was our father was trying to make super devils. When he had us we were just test subjects for him, but he focused on me who had more talent. Our mother no matter how bad was still in love and died as a result.”

That made Koneko look down as her mother was the kindest person, but their bastard of a father just used their mother for his own amusement. It even resulted in her death, but that was where things turned.

Kuroka pointed at the hair clip on Shirone’s ear. “The hair clip in your hair right now holds all the information that our father found in his research.”

However, Kurayami shook his head.. He set up a sound-blocking spell and he came clean. “No actually, the real one was taken by me when I showed my speed. The hair clip in your hair is fake and the info is already being broken down by Azazel.”

Kuroka and Koneko looked at him oddly and he shrugged. “It is a great piece of knowledge and it may show a way to help you be healed of your condition. That was the real reason I wanted it as it was a way to treat you.”

Koneko did not know what that was about, but it did not sound good.

“What is wrong with Nee-san? I saw what they did to you.” Koneko looked horrified as when they were their she was always well fed and she felt that place was like her home. However knowing that her comfort was all due to the pain her sister suffered through.

Kuroka had a wry smile as she would do anything for her sister and if she could she would have taken her with her. However because of her weakness her sister was left behind, but now she is back. She began to explain what was wrong with her.

“After the experiments done on me, I became an Ultimate Class being, but that is my limit. I might never get strong, if nothing is done. However Azazel managed to reduce the side effects to a decent degree, but I still struggle to gain any decent power growth.”

Kurayami sighed as in this world not being able to grow stronger was worse than bad as if you were weak you could end up dead. He did not want her to someday die or lose because she could not grow stronger.

He looked at Kuroka and held her hand. “Well now that I got that super devil rearch their may be a way to use that to allow her to grow stronger than just the Ultimate Class. However nothing is certain yet. So, any questions Shirone?”

The young girl looked down and she mubled quietly, but both Kurayami and Kuroka heard her easy. “Why? Why did you suffer though such things for me? I went the last years hatting my own power and you.”

Kuroka ears drooped and she smiled. “You are my sister and the last family I had. Mother asked me to look after you before she died and I swore to do just that. The day that Azazel offered me a place at Grigori was the day that I found hope to get you back. Now, can you forgive me.”

What Kuroka didn’t expect was for her sister to break down crying. Shirone rushed to Kuroka and hugged her tight. Kuroka hugged her sister as she finally had her sister with her. She looked at Kurayami and smiled as if it were not for him she might never have been able to tell her sister the truth.

Kurayami stood up and began to walk away. “Well I will leave you two alone to catch up. You may need this time as it has been years since you two spoke.”

Kuroka let go of her sister and hugged Kurayami and smiled. She was glad she met him as most of the happiest moments after she lost her sister were with him.

“What would I do with out you Nya. Also, I got good news for you.”

He looked down and he had a feeling about what it was. “What would that new be? I really want to know.”

Kuroka smiled. “I am not telling yet. You need to be patient. Now go, you will be very busy soon.”

Kurayami chuckled and she let go of him. He left both girls alone and he looked at the small orb that he got from Vritra and felt it was long overdue to complete his soul. He wanted to go with Raynare, but he needed to figure out who the hosts are. Unlike Tobio he would not care who they were.

He looked at Shin who could be said to be his other half as Shin new everything that Kuryami knew. He just wondered why had Lyacon and the sword that made up Shin stay so quite. He had not heard them since the first time he used his balance breaker.

He focused on the small orb and found his two targets, one was in Washigton D.C and the other in Beijing China. How odd that they were in two opposite corners of the world.

“Shin, want to go see who are the poor souls who will be sacrificed?”

Shin had long since adopted Kurayami’s mental state. If he did not know you, you do not matter. It was why he could still sleep soundly even when he was single hadely respobible for destroying San Fransico and not blinking an eye. Shin nodded as he wanted to know who they were.

Kurayami brought of Ladon in his human form. “My lord, why have I been set loose?”

“You not set loose Ladon. I want you to come with me while I find a few things out. Can I count on you to behave?”

Ladon eyes twitched as his master still treated him like he could not control himself, but knowing his personality Ladon felt it was justified. He was not the Insomiac Dragon for no reason.

“Fine. I can do that.”

Kuryami teleported them to China and looked around at Beijing. It was a big city, but he should be able to find the host easily. Ladon’s eyes were beginning to glow a deep purple as he felt the amount of life around them and yet he was under orders not to cause trouble.

If it was the past he would have killed all of them here for fun, but he could no longer do that. He found it a pity.

Kurayami started to walk and Shin shrunk down to the size of a large Masstif and Ladon walked beside Kurayami.

“My lord, I can find Vritra’s soul fragment easily. As a dragon we can find each other easily.”

“Do it.”

Ladon focused on the entire city and he found what he was looking for quite easily. Even after being split into 6 parts Vritra was still a dragon king. Ladon and Kurayami were walking along and as both of them got attention.

Ladon’s purple hair and Kurayami’s clothes got attention, but nobody approached them as both of them had a aura that kept others away.

“I found it, it is about 10 miles out.”

“Let’s go. We still have to go to D.C after.”

Both of them walked forward and Kurayami looked at the road and saw it was full of traffic and that was annoying. Shin looked around and he had learned a ability from Titus shadow travel and he walked toward a ally way.

Kurayami and Ladon followed him and their Shin barked at Kurayami. He was saying that he could get them their faster, so Kurayami and Ladon placed their hands on the dogs fur and in the shadows took them to the location they were looking for. They stoped in the shadow of a tree and when they popped up Kurayami saw a elementary school.

Ladon saw it and he smield.

“What will you do my lord? As things stand it may as well be in a child. Would you murder a child? You don’t seem the kind to do that.”

“It woud’t be the first I did just that. Don’t underetimate my will, Ladon.”

He began to walk in the school and a he placed the entire place in a time slowing barrier. Space and time were some of the hardest branches fo magic to learn, but his time with Ophis was not just spent on pure power. He focused on what he was good at fire, darkness, lightning, space and time magic were some of the best he was best at.

After he gained the Infinite from Ophis he was even better at Time and Space then ever. Ladon whisteld as Kurrayami could not be compared to when they fought as back them Kurayami was just a brute with pure power. Now, he had fixed that with magic and he wondered what skills he managed to develop.

“Are you going to take the sacred gear?”

Kurayami shook his head.

“No, not now. I promised Raynare to find them with her. She has been wanting to find them to get stronger for a long time and I would hate to take that from her, but I could bring her here as I am already here.”

Ladon nodded. “You choise.”

Kurayami ignored the evil dragon and walked in the school to the top floor and he walked in to a math class where the teacher and the kids were all sleeping. His gaze went to a little girl about 4 years old that looked normal, but he could tell she was the one.

He walked up to the girl and he pulled out the orb that Vritra gave him and it was pulsing like crazy. Raynare in Japan felt Vritra was excited and he coiled around her. He looked at her and his excitement was all too clear to see more so when they were connected.

“My other half, Kurayami is near one of my last soul shards. Soon I will be whole again after all these years.”

She was going to get mad that Kurayami went with out her as he said they would go togeher, but a magic circle opend up under her and she appeared right next to Kurayami and Ladon.

That surprised her, but she looked around and saw where they were and she saw the little girl sleeping soundly.

Raynare was not the most kind person around however even she hesitated when it was a child. However Vritra was too happy to care and even if his notoriety was less than his brethren he was still an evil dragon.

He focused on the sacred gear in the girls body and ripped it out and yet the girl slept though it as she was in a deep sleep from Kurayami’s magic. Raynare flitched as she looked at the dead girl as she knew they would have to kill people to get them, but whats done is done.

It took the sacred gears form and showed a dark black gem that gave a feeling of burning and heat. Vritra explained what it was.

“This is my Fire Application Gem. On it’s own it would give a small control of flames like Blaze Black Flame, but nowhere close. They go together to make my flames live up to their reputation to never go out.”

The orb floated to Raynare’s chest and he fused with the other four sacred gears and the spirit of Vritira gained a small gem on his chest and Raynare felt the flames of Vritra that were some of the most volatile around grew even stronger. She opened her eyes that were now dark purple from her usual violet.

Ladon nodded. “Just one more to go and old Vritra will be complete. I wonder how strong you can grow with your new host. Granddaughter of Azrael.”

Raynare eyes went back to normal and she felt the happiness that Vritra felt as his soul was nearly complete. Even if the means were less then happy she rather her friend and partner be happy. However it did not change that she felt bitter about it.

She hugged Kurayami a little annoyed. She had killed scores of people, but most of them deserved to die or were her enemies. She knew that Azazel had done the same to get one of the sacred gears of Vritra. Kurayami looked at her and felt she was not sad, but more bitter and annoyed.

“Don’t think about it. It was just bad luck that she was born with the wrong power. It was just something that would happen.”

She nodded. “If it were Esdeath she would not have flinched.”

“Don’t compare yourself to her. You and Esdeath are different and that makes you special.”

Ladon scoffed. “Quit your flirting. We got one more person to kill.”

Raynare sighed. “Fine, what do we do with the body?”

Kurayami thought about it and the soul was connected to the sacred gear, but he was not Azrael an expert at Death and souls. The only reason Tobio was alive was the simple fact that Azrael was the one who kept his soul intact.

“Nothing we can do, but I can do those.”

He focused on the body and healed it back to the way it was and set up a simple command in the body. When they left he will make it look like she had an aneurism as they can kill anybody.

“Well let’s go. We got one more to get in D.C. Let’s hope we do not need to kill another kid.” Thye left the scene and the barrier that Kurayami set up was gone and what happens after was not their problem.

Just one more to go and they had to go back to America and he might even go visit his father in law to annoy him while they were at it.
