"Well hello there Y/n, What brings you here?"

"The meeting's tomorrow, I got here a day early to make sure I didn't miss it"

"Well I'd like to inform you of something"

"What is it? Is it about those hordes of stray and fallen out in the outskirts, yea, I took care of them"

"All of them?"

"All of them"

He chuckles a little.

"I'm impressed, but I shouldn't given your power state at the moment, you've doubled your magic power haven't you?"

"I've been learning some spells from Erebus, been working hard on them, seems to have paid off"

I sit down in front of him.

"So what is it?"

"I'm afraid you won't be able to come with me, neither will Kuroka"

"Why?"

"I can sense an attack coming"

"Even more the reason you should bring me along"

"Don't worry, I'll have you ready incase it happens"

I look at Kuroka as she smiles at me.

"I see, so what gives you the thought that an attack may be coming?"

"Come on, the three top dogs of each faction will be in a single room, don't you think that's the perfect chance for someone to do something?"

"I guess you have a point"

Azazel stands up from his chair as he walks behind me.

"I'll have you here with Kuroka, if anything arises she'll bring you to where we will be"

He stops as he serves himself something to drink.

"You're old peerage will be there, do you think you'll be able to see them again?"

"I don't care, I told you didn't I"

I stand up as I look at him.

"I'm just here to destroy any threat that may arise"

"Hehe.. your Kuoh's guardian I see"

"It seems that way"

I look at Kuroka and nod her to follow me.

"I'm taking off, I hope you don't mind me borrowing your cat"

"Go for it, I'll let you know if anything changes"

"Very well"

We take off as I arrive at a hotel... a love hotel.

"I asked for a place to stay... what the hell is this?"

"Well... we can live here for the next 3-4 hours" she says in a seductive voice.

I start walking away as she grabs me by the shirt.

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding"

She teleports us towards a runned down apartment.

"This will be your new home, its ugly but atleast you'll have somewhere to sleep, you'll have room 5"

Before I departed for Minakawa, Kuroka had told me Azazel set up a place for me to stay at when I came back to Kuoh. It isn't much but it'll suffice.

"Thanks for taking me here, you can go back"

"You'll need a key don't you?"

She pulled a key out and waved it in front of me. I go to reach for it but pulls it back. She shoves it in between her breast as she uses her arms to squeeze them together.

"Whoops, looks like you'll have to- Wait where are you going?!"

I started walking away towards my room.

"Aren't you going to reach for it? How are you going to get in?"

"I'll break the door in"

She reaches in and pulls it out before handing me the key.

"Fine, you win"

She crosses her arms and pouts.

"You're no fun you know that"

I open it up to see a simple looking inside.

"Azazel set you up with food for the month, someone will bring you food every month so you dont have to worry about money, speaking of which"

She pulls out a bag containing some cash.

"He also wanted you to have this incase you want to go out and have a fun time, your allowance for the week"

She smiles as she closes her eyes and leans in close to me.

"Do you need something?"

She frowns as she face palms.

"You're serious terrible at reading when a woman wants you to make a move"

I walk her out as she teleports away. I go towards my bed and drop dead on it. This is the first time I've slept comfortably in ages. Going out and killing all those strays in the country and abandoned buildings meant I had to sleep on the hard ground, sometimes in trees.

"A bed, finally"

I try to relax, closing my eyes as I wait for sleep to drift me off towards my next dream but am to tense for it to come.

"Erebus"

Yes Young Master?

"Set a barrier around the building and alert me if any magical entity enters the area"

Very well, sleep well Young Master.

I finally relax and blackout as I fall asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~

... ng M.. You.. ster..

It feels as if someone is trying to call me.

.. ng Mast.. YOUNG MASTER!!

My eyes shoot open as I reach for my weapon.

"What's the situation"

It seems someone has entered the barrier.

"Good"

The barrier was never meant to be set to keep enemies out, rather, just alert me of any presence that gets close to my proximity. It's currently nighttime, making it the perfect time to attack. I slowly walk toward the door and place my hand on the knob.

They're gone.

"No.. it's behind me"

I reach behind me with my left hand, grabbing the person by the neck and slam it to the wall and bring my sword into sticking position.

"What do you want!!"

I look closely to see who I had chockhold on.

"Kuroka?!"

"Hey"

I let her go as she rubs her head.

"Sorry about that"

"Nope, it's my fault.. I should of walked in through the front door"

"What is it? The meeting changed?"

She sits down on my bed as she hugs my pillow.

"Nope, just wanted to come check up on you"

"Well I'm fine, you can go"

"Is that really how you should be treating a lady who you slammed up against the wall, against her will mind you, and nearly struck her with that large rod of yours" she said with a very sexual voice.

I sigh as I ignore her wording of what happened.

"What do you want"

"Let me have your kids"

"No"

"Aw, well I guess my species will never grow to be as strong and prosperous as it was before, I'll keep trying later"

I go towards the fridge and pull out some food.

"Are you going to be cooking something?"

"Yes"

Her eyes grow sparkles as she sprints next to me.

"Wow, you are definitely husband material you know"

A small smile creeps up my face as I take out some salmon.

"Gee, Azazel really went all out to keep me well feed"

"He does care about you since you'll be on our side, our ally, as so, he'll basically get you good stuff to keep you happy"

"Good to know"

After awhile of preparing and finishing the cooking, the food comes out and I take out 2 plates.

"One for me?!"

"Yea, go sit dow-"

Before I even finish my sentence she was already sitting down with a fork and knife in hand, drool coming out the side of her mouth. I take both plates and set one down in front of her as I sit and place the other one in front of me. We start eating our food in a rather quiet atmosphere.

"So what are you going to be doing while the meeting happens?"

"Other than ready to teleport you there if anything happens, probably go to your house"

I look at her annoyed before going back to eating.

"So what happened while I was gone, I heard a big fight occured"

"An old general from the previous great war attacked, Kokabiel"

I look up at her with a confused look.

"What happened to him?"

"Rias and her peerage took him down"

She finishes her plate and pushes it forward as she places her head on her hands.

"I see you've gotten alot stronger"

I finish up too and wipe my mouth with a napkin.

"I have"

I stand up and grab both our plates and place them in the sink.

"I'll wash this later"

"Don't worry, I'll wash them for you, it's the least I can do after you fed me"

Wish I had Nala here.

"Well, thank you then, I'll be going off to take a shower, if you take off, lock the door for me"

"Okay"

~~~~~~~
I sit down in the tub as I let the water soak off all the dirt and sweat I may have had.

"Am I really ready?"

I close my eyes and sink into the water as I try holding my breath. I was to concentrated on holding my breath to hear the door open and close behind me. I open my eyes and see a pair of boobs in front of me. The sight causes me exhale and push myself up to catch my air.

"What the hell are you doing in here?!"

"I wanted to take a shower too"

She flashes her mischievous smile as she closes herself to me.

"Well shower then, I'm heading out-"

Before I could get out the tub, Kuroka wraps her arms around me as she pulls me back in.

"Wait, I won't do anything, let me just wash my back"

I look at her with a doubtful look.

"Fine"

I get out and sit down in a bucket I had laying around as Kuroka grabs a towel and starts rubbing my back.

"Is this fine?"

"Yea"

We stay quiet for a couple of minutes until she finishes.

"Want me to clean the front, like your chest, your legs"

"I should be fine"

"Mind doing my back?"

"If your okay with me"

She turns her back to me as I grab the little towel and start scrubbing. Again, the room was silent until I was done.

"I guess now we can both finish washing ourselves"

"Yep" she cheerfully says.

"I don't understand why you can't shower at your own place"

"I was already here so I said to myself, why not"

"I wish you didn't"

After the shower, I put some sweats on and left myself shirtless while I waited outside for Kuroka to change. I heard the door to the bathroom open as she got out.

"Will you be heading out now?"

She didn't say anything as she made her way to me. She talked me as she stood over me, pinning me down.

"That's pretty awful of you, sending a delicate little lady like me outside, it's dangerous out there"

"I'm pretty confident you can take care of yourself"

"It's dark"

"You can teleport"

"... Let me stay over"

"No"

"Please"

I think about how this looks on me. A man, kicking a girl out in the middle of the night on her own. I sigh as I shove her to the side.

"Fine, you take the bed"

She grabs me by my hand and brings me to the bed.

"Nope, you're staying right here"

She smiles once again.

"A delicate little lady she says"

"Meh, come on, I won't do anything you have my word"

"Fine"

I turn my back to her and lay my head on my arm.

"Erebus"

Already set up Young Master.

"Great"

I close my eyes as a pair of arms cling onto my back and a pair of melons hit my back.

"I thought you wouldn't do-"

I turn around to see she was already asleep.

"*sighs* Fine... Goodnight"

I close my eyes and fall asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~
An alarm clock wakes me up as I hit the snooze button and wipe my eyes.

"10 am"

I get up and stretch as I listen to the birds chirping outside. I look to my bed and see a still sleeping Kuroka.

"Hey, time to wake up"

She doesn't wake up until I start poking her cheek.

"Hmmm.. what?" She says still sleepy.

"Time to wake up, the meeting's today"

"But they still need to get through school"

"Guess I'll train a little before we head off, I'll make some breakfast"

"Yay!!"

That seemed to brighten up her spirits.

Indeed she is like a cat. What will you do if the enemy does attack?

We'll annihilate them then and there. We have business with another attack coming this way that we know for sure that's going to arrive in Kuoh. We need to cut them off.

An army of about 1,000 I believe if in correct. They have a weapon that could seriously injure us if we aren't careful.

I know, I'll make sure to destroy it if I get a chance.

"What are you going to make"

"Pancakes"

"Ooooh"

"Yea, haven't made pancakes in awhile"

"I'm sure you're great at making them"

I smile as I try to mentally prepare myself for today. I'm going to need to make sure to protect everybody in that room, regardless of who's going to be there.

I hope I can atleast try and talk to them to let them explain themselves.
