DXD : Ray Gremory

Cao Cao tapping his spear on his shoulder, just dismisses it as a trivial thing.

"Doesn't matter, Pawns are disposable. I cannot win everyone's loyalty anyway.

He may not even survive the Ophis Snake implant in his Sacred Gear in the future, so it is fine. Oh, Jeanne, what brought you to me today?"

The beautiful 19 year old French descendant of Jeanne D'Arc, with her flowing blonde hair and blue eyes, looked a bit serious today, and said what she found out.

"Our Khaos Brigade spies on the Underworld Devils side reported. .

. All of our identities and most of our Sacred Gears were exposed just after your Kyoto trial.

Somehow, the Devils had better intelligence than we thought. .

. I think someone in the Khaos Brigade betrayed us.

"

The tapping spear on Cao Cao's shoulder stopped and he asked with a frown.

"Even my True Longinus, the Dimension Lost, and Annihilation Maker are revealed?"

"Yes, and the fact all of our Balance Breakers are awakened, including Your Truth Idea Balance Breaker ability. Your skill level of even fighting Leader Class beings was revealed.

" (Leader Class is equal to Satan Class, and includes beings like. .

. Azazel, Michael, and Serafall.

)

One would expect news like this to upset a normal person, but instead Cao Cao grins while tapping his spear again, and tells his companions.

"That is good then, this means no one in the Khaos Brigade betrayed us yet, because none of them knew about my Truth Idea. This is very interesting, to think there are those on the other-side who can find this stuff out.

But there is something comforting about this information. "

Georg finished with his Mind Magic asked in confusion.

"How is any of this good? It is like we were caught with our pants down?"

"Sure they caught me with my pants down, but they do not know how big my spear is. .

. Okay, jokes aside.

. .

They missed the most important piece of information, meaning they do not know me well. They do not know about my Subspecies Balance Breaker, ha-ha.

"

After Cao Cao let out his laughter, he asked his Vice Leader.

"Where to now?"

Georg cleaned his glasses and said.

"Next is Canada. There is a strong weather controller there, that is running from the Fallen Angels.

She should be more easily swayed by your cause, so let me set up a Transportation Circle. .

. "

A couple of weeks have gone by in a flash, and life has been very smooth for me, well kinda.

The first and foremost thing to report in my mental journal. .

. Yasaka did indeed get pregnant on our first time together.

Despite Yasaka being a Youkai woman, my family is thrilled knowing I would have a child coming.

She had come to spend some time with me in excitement. On a side note, Yasaka has been training Shirone in her use of Youjutsu (youkai magic), but due to not having Senjutsu (life energy magic), the only one qualified for that would be Shirone's sister Kuroka.

My sex-life you ask? Currently the only ladies I am actively having intercourse with are Yasaka, Kuisha, Ni, and Li. The others, for one reason or another, are taking our time together.

Now mind you, I am intimate with the other girls in a variety of other-ways, cough, I just have not taken their virginity yet.

And this leads me into what I am currently doing now. I am sitting on the couch where Kuisha, Tsubaki, and Akeno sit normally (backs to the door), and I am holding Akeno in my lap.

We found ourselves alone for a change, and she wanted to be held.

Sitting sideways in my lap with my left arm holding her waist, and my right hand on her thighs, we finished our kiss. While Akeno was looking into my eyes, she said pitifully.

"Ray, why? Why can we only be together after I use my Holy Lightning? Can't we just do it now?"

My heart hurts every-time I bring up her past and her rejection of her Fallen Angel powers. In Fan-Fictions, it takes like two sentences to 'magically-cure' her of her past trauma.

Sure she and I have made huge progress, but she fears using her dual wing mode to fight. I sigh and tell her again.

"Sigh, Akeno, I have told you. .

. Because you are locking those dark-feelings away, our first time would be tainted by your pain.

I know it seems unfair, but honestly, I just want us to make love for the right reasons. I am not asking you to forgive your father, just embrace the fact you are my lovely Fallen Angel.

I know how incredible you are, but in your heart, you still see yourself as a tainted being, and this breaks my heart dear. "

Akeno grips my lapel with watery eyes, like I am scolding her, and her lips tremble.

"Ray, I am strong without it. .

. I do try, but I only see my mother dead in my mind when I let my wings out.

. .

I-I. .

. "

I pull her in tight to my hug, and I just hate when she gets like this. I feel like shit trying to get her to open up and become the amazing woman she is.

But sometimes I ask myself if what I am doing is the right thing or not. But, suddenly while holding her, I remembered something I forgot.

. .

"Akeno. .

. You are being a bad woman for not listening to me.

. .

Uh? I think I should start to punish you for not listening to me?"

I felt really awkward saying that, because I have never once yelled or scolded Akeno, nor have I ever hit her outside of sparring. But her body tensed hearing my words, and she quivered.

But it was a quiver of shame and delight. I knew she was a sadist in battle, but honestly, I forgot about her masochistic side till I thought of her Mother.
