Sera Tanaka, the half angel!
SLAP
"What do you think you are doing Kiba, you are putting your fellow peerage members in harm's way......You have not been able to even pay attention to anything going on around you?! I am only upset with you because this may cause you and others harm if you can't focus.....At least tell me what is wrong so I can help you....." I can tell Rias is upset, and she only slapped him because he was hardly listening to her concerns....in the show I thought the slap after that fight, which has not happened for some reason, was a bit harsh...but when I see everything that led up to it...I may have hit him too. I guess an anime can't show everything for better context....but what is up with no stray fight or the familiar forest? Also the tennis match? I am really confused.
While they are having their Master servant talk, I on the other hand am secretly performing a vet checkup on the troublesome kitty in my lap....I did not have time to heal her injuries sustained in the clinic battle...So I am currently using my healing magic on her while she is in my lap. Her body has relaxed a bit after so she must have pushed herself during the battle. She whispered to me,"Sorry Big Brother for leaving like that...I panicked......" I just whispered back.."You're a good girl."
"I am truly Sorry President, I am just having a rough day...I will try and clear it up....." Kiba does feel sorry but all of his suppressed feelings are just flooding back....Poor Rias is having a tough time understanding, because Kiba put a lid on it for so long. "President, I think I need a few days off to clear my head OK" Rias just said to take off then.....
As Kiba was passing me I subtly handed him a note....He paused then kept going......Koneko asked,"What was that for?"
"Just told him I was mauled by a fierce tigress, and I loved it!" I of course won a pinch to my leg, but Koneko trusted me enough to not ask.....damn she is cute....and nope now I am proud of the bulge under her!.....She almost had a smile peak thru her emotionless mask!
A while later both Sona and Tsubaki had entered and asked Rias to meet them tonight to talk....This must be about meeting the church girls....Sona looks at me, and I say....."Sona do not worry about your guest...there mouths can be sharp.....but they are both good girls and won't harm us.....The real enemy is now in Kuoh...." A couple in the room think I am from the future and the rest think I am a seer, so no one really questioned my hidden words......But Sona just smiled and said,"Now my worries are gone, thanks Matsuda!" Why does she seem to be softer around me since I started my relationship with Tsubaki?.....Maybe she just cares that much for her friend. If I was drunk I would have seen her act like this to me...I do not know if I would have Pawn changed.....No the cat girl in my lap is my proof I did the right thing!
I am wondering if Issei has met his childhood friend yet or not? It was yesterday, today or tomorrow?.....Should I go to his house?! I decided to drop by...it is not late and in the anime it was dark when they dropped by......So I told Asia I would be going to Issei's house to say hi to aunt and uncle for a bit and to just cook supper....Of course like a good wife she did with no problem.
I ran to Issei's home as it was starting to turn darker....I think I made it!? So I just knocked and Issei's mom opened the door....
"Matsuda, how are you, dear, come in...It seems today is a busy day for guests." She is just as warm as she was depicted in the show and has been like a second mom to me and Motohama....We are or were Issei's only male friends. I just say,"Auntie thanks for having me...I guess I beat Issei home?"
"yes Mat, and an old childhood friend has stopped by to meet him!" She led me into the living room and on the opposite couch sat two attractive girls dressed in white robes.......My eyes started to heat up a bit when I saw one of them.....Next to Irina Shidou, was a girl with short blue hair with a dyed strip of green and she happened to notice my entrance. She was none other than Xenovia Quarta who I saw in my dream...but this one has clothes on!......I could not breathe for a moment when I saw her....
"This is Issei's best friend Matsuda Tanaka, and Mat these girls are....." I unintentionally cut off my auntie and muttered,"Xenovia Quarta and Irina Shidou...." of course everyone heard my mutter.....
"Oh you have heard of us already?" Irina is not the sharpest knife in the drawer and did not outright find it weird that a devil knew her name so easily....Unlike Issei and Asia in the show, I do not feel the chill from their weapons or crosses.....thankfully or this could be bad.
"Yes a friend of mine met you today...she was Issei's school President!" Little did I know only Tsubaki spoke to them and not Sona.....
"Here catch...." Xenovia then tossed me something small......I caught it easily and looked...It is a Rosario with a silver cross...it is still warm, was she wearing it?!
her partner seemed to think I would burst into flame or something.....I just asked,"Was this yours Xenovia?" She nods in the affirmative, so I just kiss it then put it on my neck and tuck it in, it smelled good, and say.."Thank you for the gift, I will thank God every-time I hold it!" I just give her my shit eating grin because my cheats are awesome! Well in a month or so everyone will learn this anyway.
Irina just looked stupefied at this casual as fuck display. Xenovia just said,"So you do remember meeting me in the castle!"
I just froze stiff with my eyes wide......FUCK FUCK FUCK, what is this? I can't understand..............
Xenovia just gets up and stands in front of me looking down....I feel no malice or hated in her eyes.......she then got on both knees and put her hands together and began praying!..........Yup Issei's mom, Irina, and I are just dumbfounded.........I try lifting her shoulders but she won't budge....I then say,"Ante and Ms Irina can Xenovia and I have a moment.....we met before and we need to talk...." I give a pathetic smile because I do not know what to say....Both women just stupidly go to the kitchen, then I look at Xenovia with exhaustion in my voice..."you need to stop praying in front of a devil, the church will kick you out.....please.....I am feeling super uncomfortable with the stares they were giving me! Plus few people know of my past..." Xenovia just looked up in my face and said...."I knew it was not just a dream but a vision from God." She then launched at me with a tight hug around my waist....and she is crying????
I just awkwardly pet her hair and pat her back and whisper to her..."Sorry about that.....Grayfia and Asia were there too......Grayfia the devil that flew with you..witnessed the dream 500 years ago and Asia had the dream when she prayed in the old church a few months ago....as for me...my human dream was a year ago and my devil dream was about half a year ago..I think...How about you?" I can see the shock in her eyes of the time and space disparity....Xenovia is a smart airhead..she grasps a lot of hard concepts but can't apply them well....
"Last night in front of the statue of your past self....I prayed to God then well you know...I was not sure this Issei I was going to meet was that evil demon or as you said he was an imposter of your friend.....If he was that demon I would try and kill him......" I just sweat drop hearing her.....Good thing for Issei, I came!
At that moment Issei rushed into the house in a panicky state and he sees me holding a hot church-girl in my arms and we both just look at him...I hold Xenovia still to reassure her he is OK!
*cough* "Hello brother! Your mother is currently talking to your future hot Wife in the kitchen so ignore this situation, I cant and wont explain to you OK....You know the bro code right?....Now run into the kitchen fast!" Xenovia just watches him go from panic to happiness in less than a second and he teleports into the kitchen.....I just smile at the girl still holding me for some reason.....
"Two things to know...one I have no memory of 2000 years ago....Second if you continue to hug me with the sexiest battle-suit in all my lives....I do not know how pure my head can stay!" And no, I would have her wear that outfit even in bed if I could! Just always thought it looked hot on her the most....How can church send her hot ass outside in that...It will make angels fall for damn sake!
She then noticed what I meant and released me....I then put my hand out to her and said "Come with me for a moment!" She took my hand and we went out back...I then set up a barrier to hide what we are doing...don't want her partner to freak out....I then say bring out [Durandal] please.....She then begins to unlock the sword no questions asked? Why is she not afraid I would do something.....I can't figure her out and I probably know her better than anyone!
As the blade emerges she was about to grab it but I said "No need I can handle him......." She does look surprised because she knows how dangerous the sword is and its temperament, but...I just grasp the blade in one hand and pull it from its holding circle and place my left hand on the flat of the blade and talk,"Durandal how are you? I need your help, my friend! Xenovia here your current wielder is an important person to me and I need you to obey her needs...She will help me stop a disaster soon, and only with your strength can she give me the aid I need...Can you please do this for me?" The blade's golden edge then flickered in a pattern as if it was talking...I could somewhat understand it would help as long as she did not wield it against me! I then told the blade.."Thank you friend!"
I then pass the blade to Xenovia handle first and she just stupidly takes it in disbelief....Who the fuck can just ask holy swords to be friendly...sure there is beast tamers but sword tamers......Only the son of God could do that right? She can feel the acceptance of the sword as if they were one being....I just smile at her.
Xenovia just puts the sword away and runs into my arms crying again??? Is she a crying machine? "I-I have struggled for so long with it....a-and you blessed me...Thank you!" I just do not know what to say other than..."Um you're still hugging a devil, and your partner will see.......So no need to thank me....but I will need your help! My guess is that is why we met in my trial...for this battle with Kokabiel. We need to stop the next great three way war!" Xenovia's eyes open wide!
"Xenovia you are not allowed to commit suicide.....Take it from a man that is intimate with it...It is not serving God...It is suicide.....So do not let me see you talk about sacrifice ever again...It will pain me!" She just grins at me and says,"I don't think a devil should care about others, that is silly right? Unless you're actually an angel in disguise! ha-ha" Xenovia seems to be fucking with me and I am blushing??
"Xenovia, When you meet Asia and my peerage tomorrow please be nicer...The other you went super overboard and everyone hated you.....I would rather everyone like you......Also devils, the fallen, humans, and angels are seen equally in the eyes of my Father.....We are all capable of love, kindness, evil, and hate....So just keep an open heart...take this from a former human..." I just smiled at her and hoped she understood at least part of it.
At this point Issei and his childhood crush came out to see us just talking like old friends and both did not know what to say......
"Matsuda, I am glad I met you in this dark time of my life......Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!" Xenovia then walks closer and touches her cross under my shirt and smiles brightly and then gives me a kiss on the lips! "So you prefer me with my suit over me naked ha-ha! You are a great devil!" Xenovia just waves for her stupefied partner to follow....and her sexy hips walk away......
Outside of Issei's home...............................
Irina yells,"WHY DID YOU KISS A DEVIL? The church will kick you out Xenovia?!" her friend can't believe this craziness...The devil hater just switched her taste in men in ten minutes!
Xenovia just shrugged,"I fell to the temptation of that devil! And the church wont forgive me but God will....." She just walks the dark streets like a maiden in love......
Back at Matsuda's house at bath-time.............
I received a circle from Kalawarna while I was relaxing......"Hello my beautiful angel, I have been missing you something fierce!"
[Oh is that so? Well I was super busy last night working hard for you, so I want a better I love you than that or no gift for you! ha-ha]
"Mrs. Kala Tanaka my Heavenly Goddess please accept my fully charged ...I LOVE YOU DEAR!..... Does that pass?" I just smile at her jokes.
[Well husband, I will declare that you and my love are now the proud father of one....Sera Tanaka, the half angel!]
"Holy cow!!....I am now a daddy......I love you both so much and when it is possible I want to hold my girls.....I feel full in my heart right now....Is she healthy? Are you OK, how is it there....Do I need to adjust heaven for you two? I-I.......I can ascend?!"
[Do nothing you idiot! everything is perfect....I will come before the baby does...give her some time to grow in heaven for a bit..it is good for her health....Everyone loves her...And for all that is pure do not touch the system...poor Mike is still looking pale from what you did last time! hah I need to rest so I will sleep....Love you bye....]
Damn I am a father again!......"Thanks Big G, I am very happy!" I rub the cross around my neck with a weird smile on my expression.......
