Life in DXD

Chapter 23: My cat



A week had passed since Tatsuya had brought the nekometa. Her injuries were healed by the third day but she still lived along with him and the others. Miyuki and Kurumi had also met her but were unable to tell that she was a Youkai as she had hid her energy very well.

The cat enjoyed living there as the food was very good and she was treated just like a family, though she struggled a bit when Tatsuya secretly carreses all over her body and would run his cheeks with her. She felt that her body was ravaged by him but forgave him as she liked that as well and also the food which he made was also very good.

Tatsuya also noticed that the cat would go out alone every night after checking that everyone was asleep. To keep a record of her Tatsuya had marked her with his magic so that he could tell where she was and it would also inform him if she was in danger.

Through this magic Tatsuya knew that she would move away from them so that they would be safe. Tatsuya had noticed that during the night whenever Tatsuya felt presence of some devils she would go out and the devils were found dead there. It was like the devils were following her.

Tatsuya wanted to know the reason because of which the devils were following her but he remained silent and thought that she would tell him when the time comes. He didn't thought that she was evil because if she was evil Kurumi would have felt her negative emotions.

Tatsuya would also take the cat with her whenever he would go out inside his hoodie with her head popping out. The cat at first was confused by all this at first but started enjoying this type of outing and also started to jump in his hoodie on her own.

Right now Tatsuya is lying on his bed trying to sleep but suddenly the magic that he had placed on the cat started giving an SOS signal.

Tatsuya immediately checked her location and found her her surrounded by a lot of devils. Tatsuya immediately changed to his combat gear with his magic and teleported to her location. As soon as he teleported there he turned invisible and hid his presence.

He then looked towards the direction of the devil's and saw a lot of them. There were 3 low class, 3 middle class, 2 high class and even 1 ultimate class devils there he also saw a girl wearing a navy blue coloured kimono and fighting the devils with a katana. All the devils except the high class and ultimate class were fighting her while the others were standing behind them and watching their subordinates fight.

The girl was easily able to deal with the devil's and was also able to inflict damage on them. She slashed her sword forward with the intent to kill but was suddenly hit by a fireball. "Give up already and this will be less trouble for the both of us. You cannot defeat us all anyway." said one of the high class devils. "Yeah why are you struggling so much you were never wanted by anyone so when some people are showing interest in you why are you resisting, you might at least do something good for us you unwanted shit."

The girl got up with the help of her katana and then started radiating her aura and two white cat ears and a tail came out. She pointed her katana at the one who fired the magic at her and vanished from her place. Suddenly a 'clang' sound was heard. The girls katana was now covered in blood ant the devil's head fell down.

The low class and the middle class devils were terrified and were unable to move. Seeing this the girl again vanished from her place at the next moment all the devil's heads except the remaining high class and ultimate class fell down. The high class devil frowned and started firing his magic randomly in her direction. The girl was dodging or slicing through the magic but suddenly she felt something coming at her from the side and then she was suddenly thrown towards the wall.

When the smoke cleared the ultimate class devil appeared. The devil looked towards the girl and said, "if you do not come willingly we can bring you with us after killing you and then turning you into a devil. It is for your own good that you follow our orders."

The girl though she was in pain stood up and said in a weak voice, "I will not go with you." Both the devils snorted and the high class devil raised his voice in frustration and said, "who do you think you are you bitch, just because we are giving you little priority you think you can do anything. Boss I say we just kill her and then take her back as a devil"

The girl who heard this started to release an ominous dark aura and her black hair started turning white. Seeing her power increasing the even the Ultimate class devil panicked a little. The girl whose hair had fully turned white looked at the devils with a glare and said, "I can not die and I will not go with you finally after all this time I received some affection and caring and you want me to throw it all away." She said that and launched towards the devils. She started slashing her katana at the both of them inflicting some deep wounds to them, the ultimate class devil was able to hold himself but it was another matter for the high class devil.

He was not even able to see her movement much less dodge her attacks. He gritted his teeth and again started firing his magic in random direction. Just as he gave a sigh of relief and thought that he got her, he heard, "behind you" and then his chest was pierced by the girl.

She took out her katana from his body and then looked towards the ultimate class devil but was not able to see him. Thinking that he might have ran away she started growling in anger but suddenly she was hit in the stomach by something and flew back. The devil appeared in the place she was standing before and then started laughing maniacally. The girl when got her balance looked towards him but the devil disappeared once again but this time she was vigilant.

She started looking around but suddenly she felt a something aimed at her temple and immediately ducked to dodged. The devil appeared in front of her and she slashed her katana in his direction. The devil jumped back and again disappeared. The girl was starting to get irritated and started cursing him. The devil took advantage of her enraged state and started attacking her. The girl unable to stop the attack was being hit by him repeatedly. The devil kicked her in the stomach and she crashed back on a wall. The girl was about to pick her katana but then the devil appeared in front of her and broke her katana with his feet. The girl was about to attack him with her claws but she fell down on her knees and coughed blood.

Seeing her condition the devil said, "looks like that power boost takes a huge toll on your body well none of my problem now. I will just kill you and then take you with me." The devil charged a magic blast and was about to fire at her but suddenly both of them heard a voice, "Oi stop! will ya" Both the girl and the devil were shocked seeing the source of the voice, the girl was more shocked though as she recognised him.

The devil started releasing his aura and asked in a cold tone, "who are you human and what are you doing here?"

Tatsuya who was not affected by his aura said in his usual emotionless voice, "my identity is none of your concern and I am here to take the cat as she belongs to me."

The devil got more agitated and said, "how dare you speak like that to me you useless human. Take this." He fired the magic sphere at Tatsuya. Seeing the sphere moving towards Tatsuya the girl wanted to save him or warn him but was unable to and was crying.

The ball when hit Tatsuya caused an explosion and the devil started to laugh, but then a frown appeared on his face as he notice the explosion started to become smaller and smaller and then he noticed Tatsuya sucking in the attack like a vacuum with his devouring magic.

Tatsuya finished devouring his magic and said, "Is this all, or you have anything else in store for me" The devil had a pissed off look on his face and launched to towards Tatsuya.

Tatsuya being Tatsuya didn't give a shit to him, took out Murasame(Akame's katana) and slashed his neck.

The devil fell back and clutched his neck and looked towards Tatsuya in fear and asked, "What did you do to me?" Tatsuya still remained expressionless and said, "nothing just gave you a curse." and then smiled at him.

The man uttered one last"Bastard" and then fell down dead.
