Chapter 94: Preparation for Beach! Sealed Vampire?
"Owuhh!" Nawin lets out a long yawn and grunts "Rias dare waked me up this early... I'll make her pay later" he utters, remembering how the crimson haired with the help of Akeno, electrocuted him out of bed. "Anyway" Nawin shake his head to get rid of that thought and look forward to see the Ichiru bakery sigh "Time to pick up my first guest".
"Hell-" Nawin pause and catch the incoming baseball "Nice try" he comment and look front to see the smirking Akira. "Long time no see, kid" Akira said and bring his hand up where he catches the ball that the Makasha just thrown "Indeed, a long contract kept me away for a while" Nawin reply, fully entering the store and close the door behind him.
"Let me cut to the chase" Nawin said, looking at Akira in the eyes "Before I tell you why I'm here... have you fully informed her about the supernatural world? I was planning on telling her, but as you know, lots of stuff kept me away" "Don't worry" Akira reply in a calm tone "I and Moka already told her everything and answer most of her questions, there were some question brought up about you, but we decided you should answer those" "How has she taken it?" "Fine... it took a while, but in the past, she has been attacked by fallen angels, so she had some knowledge, but kept it quiet since we always told her it's just a hallucination because of her sickness" Akira said.
"We know what you are planning to do, Nawin-kun" Moka walk down the stairs and stop beside her husband, she send a heartwarming smile at the Makasha who returns it faintly "You are hesitant because of us and her" Moka turn to her husband who sighs and nod "You have our blessing to turn Misako into a devil using your peerage piece, but" "I still need her permission" Nawin finish "Yes" Moka nod "I know you have good intention, kid, but if Misako does not wish to become a devil, then you shall not cross that path" Akira said with hiding threat.
Silence fill the room for a minute, "... Alright" Nawin opens his eyes "If she does not wish to become a devil, then I will forget about turning her into one... you have my word" he promise the parent. Moka smile "Now that we got that heavy stuff out of the way. What brings you here today, Nawin-kun?"
"One of my friend is planning a beach trip that is happening today... I thought bringing Misako along would be good. School is close for a couple of days, so she must have nothing else to do" Nawin said "How sweet" Moka holds her cheek and gushes "You always look out for Misako don't you... you are one kind soul Nawin-kun" she said happily. The Makasha shake his head and smile "She's a dear friend of mine, of course I would look out for her" "She's upstairs in her room" Akira comment and cock his head to the stairs.
Nawin nod in thanks and make his way up, he takes a right turn and face Misako's room. Nawin gently knock on the door "Come in!" a familiar light voice shouts, causing the Makasha's lips to twitch upwards when hearing the happy and clearly healthy voice full of energy.
The door opens slowly and the Makasha step into the wonderful smell and neat room, he turns around to spot Misako sitting on a large bean bag, wearing a familiar adorable Pikachu pajamas. "Nawin-kun?!" the young Ichiru utters out in surprise, when she turns around to see her friend "Hey... Misako" Nawin smile and takes a sit on the floor, beside her.
"It's good to see you again!" Misako suddenly crush the Makasha with a hug "I was worried that something happened, but mom and dad told me you were out on a mission". Nawin slowly returns the hug and pull back "It was a long mission, that's why I was away for a while. Anyway, to a more important matter, I heard from Akame that you've been getting better? Seeing you right now, I can happily confirm it" he said with a relief smile.
Misako nod and smile "Akame visits after school if she got the chance, we talk and she brought those special energy drink that she makes, it really helped me. My sickness has died down and I'm feeling better than ever!" she exclaims and to be more convincing, she cutely flexes her right arm, causing the Pikachu ears on the hood to wiggle.
"I'm very glad to hear that, now I didn't only come here to see how you are doing, but I also came here to ask... do you want to come to the beach?" Nawin question and immediately he sees a spark glow on the pink haired girl's sapphire blue eyes "To the beach! I never had the chance to experience swimming in the ocean and built send castles, I would love to go if it isn't a problem!" she said with excitement.
Nawin mentally flinch at the new fact that the Ichiru never even went to the beach, most luckily because of her sickness 'Well, that's about to change'. Nawin smile "Of course it isn't a problem, I personally came here to invite you to come with us, this trip is organized by Rias Gremory... you never got the chance to meet her have you?" "Hmm... no, though she is popular in school, I heard her name being thrown around a lot" "Not surprising, anyway she is the person who's planned this trip" "A-are you sure it's ok I come along? I mean... I barely know her and she might not be ha-" "It's fine, Misako" Nawin reassures the nervous girl "When she knows that I personally invited you, she won't say a word and she's a nice person and will welcome you with open arms" "Alright".
Misako gets up and fling her hand up "Let's go!" she shouts, "Not in that pajama you don't, even though it's adorable" Nawin comment, standing back up. "Pika!" Misako smile cutely like a cat and imaginatively act sending a lightning strike toward the amusing Makasha.
"Cute... so you have things for the beach?" Nawin ask making the Ichiru look at him with confuse expression "Um, what do I need to bring?" "Well the main stuff is a towel, sandals, bikini; other stuff is already taken care of by Rias and the others".
Misako rub her right arm sheepishly, as a faint blush form on her cheeks "I... don't really have a... bikini" she admits making the Makasha sighs and nod in understanding "Not surprising... alright, for now let's get a bag to place sandals, towel, extra shirt and pants for a three-day trip. Hmm, that's it, umbrellas, blankets, drinks, snacks, and toys are all covered".
Misako pause "It will be three days? Where are we staying?" "Rias's parent have a house there that we will be staying... you have no problem being away that long?" "No that's fine!" she grins and dash out of the room "I'll go get those stuffs the my clothes!" she shouts, clearly fill with excitement which gets an amusing chuckle out of the Makasha.
Elsewhere in Kuoh: Store
"Gahh! Do you really need this much stuff!" Issei shout in annoyance, carrying five umbrellas on his right shoulder while on the left he carries two beach ball "Stop complaining, Issei" Xenovia retorts, carrying fifteen folded chair in both her arms "Why are you always rude to me?" "Because you are annoying at times" "...".
Yuuto who is standing alongside the welsh dragon user, chuckles while carrying two bags in each of his hand, the bags contain bottles of sunscreen, skin lotions, variety of beverages, lots of snacks, and everyone's extra clothes, bikinis, swimming trunks "Now, now, you two don't fight" he said with a bright smile. Xenovia turn to her fellow knight with a dull expression "Why aren't you just happy... is it because of the beach or that you finally gotten rid of that crutch" "I have to say both, it feels great to walk properly again and now we get to have fun in the beach... what's not to be happy!" Yuuto said with a charming smile.
Xenovia hums and turn to the side to hide her faint blushing face, "I say we've got everything" Rias walk out of the store with Akeno beside her "You think we're missing anything, Akeno?" she asks, turning to her friend "Hmm... I say we got everything needed, we all have our bikinis correct?" "Yep, Yuuto's carrying them" Xenovia answers.
"Alright!" Rias smile happily and claps her hand "We got everything set, all the foods that we will be having for the next three days are already delivered to the house" "Sweet! Let's make this the best trip ever!" Issei said, pumping his fist to the air with others joining as well.
"Wait a moment" Rias eyes narrow and turn to her lover "Issei... you forgotten to invite Kokoro and Elise, didn't you?" she comments, not seeing the two girls anywhere. Issei grin breaks into a shock of realization before facepalming himself "Right..." "You are hopeless" Xenovia sigh and shake her head.
"Go invite them" Koneko, who's been quiet the whole time said and take the umbrellas and beach balls away from the Hyoudou's grasp, easily carrying it in her arms. "We'll be waiting for you in at the occult building, now hurry up" Rias said "Alright! Be right back!" Issei grins and dash away.
Rias shake her head, but smile at her adorable lover. "Hmm, where's Asia-chan?" Yuuto ask, turning to Akeno "She's at home, I'll head out now to get her and meet you all back at the Occult building" she reply, and her body disburse into yellow lightning that shoots up to the sky and head east.
"That's... new" Yuuto comment slowly, still a bit surprise by the sudden departure of the Himejima. "Must have been one of the new technique she learned when training with the fallen angel leader" Xenovia state "She has gotten much stronger, I have seen her power in display at Shigemi" Rias informs, before shaking her head and turn to the others, with a smile gracing her lips "Anyway, let's head to Occult building and set everything up".
Tatzumi Street
"Umm... Nawin-kun, why are we here?" Misako ask, with Wendy hiding behind her and looks around at the rather gloomy and dark neighborhood. Nawin eyes narrow at this '... Does she really live here?' he looks up and see the clouds completely covering up this district from sunlight, leaving a very uncomfortable air around here and dim light. Houses looks old and some even looks abandoned.
"Stay near me you two, I promise we'll be out of here quickly... just need to pick up a friend" Nawin reassures the girls and motion them to scoop closer to him which they did without hesitant. Nawin start walking forward, following the magic signature. "Heyy!", Misako and Wendy squeak at the sudden burst of shout.
Nawin turn to the right to see a hobo rushing toward them with a knife, he was about to counter, when a black blur speed toward the hooded man's back and chop his neck, sending him crashing face first to the ground. Nawin stare at the unconscious man before focusing his sight up to see Akame standing there, wearing a simple attire consist of a red sleeveless shirt that match with the black jeans and brown boots.
"... Nawin-kun... Misako" Akame said monotonously, tilting her head to the right slightly, wondering why her king and friend is here. Wendy squeak a bit at the cold red eyes moving toward her, and hide behind Misako's back. "Akame..." Nawin call out in a serious tone which immediately made the black-haired girl turn to him "Yes?" "... You live here?" he questions, looking around at the dangerous and ominous district.
Akame shakes her head "No, I was just walking through here to go to a grocery store to buy some dinner for myself" she replies. Nawin release a sigh in relief "I see... I'm glad you aren't living around here, I sensed your mana in this street for a while and though you'd live here" "Sorry for giving you that thought, but you have no need to worry. I live in Dasuma Street, not far from the school and a kind neighborhood, the store there I usually go to buy food is closed because the owner is sick, so I am force to walk pass here to find another one." Akame reply.
Nawin nod in understanding "Good, now the reason why I'm searching for you is because, Rias is holding a trip to the beach for three days and I decided to invite Misako, Wendy, and also you... if you want to of course" he inform. Akame eyes widen slightly, didn't expect that kind of announcement and thinks about it for a minute, she glance at Misako, to see her blue eyes beaming with anticipation for her answers, then she turns to her king who smiles faintly.
Akame slowly nod "Sounds... fun, but I don't really have any requirements for a beach trip" she inform, Nawin chuckle and nod in understanding "Same with Misako and Wendy, we are planning to go for a quick shopping, but need to get you first".
The black-haired boy turn around and smile at the twelve year old blue haired "Don't be so shy, Wendy... Akame is a lovely girl, just a bit cold a time" he comment and send a teasing glance at his blushing knight. Wendy gulps and move away from Misako and politely bow to the taller girl "I-it's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Akame! My name is Wendy Marvell" the young girl introduce herself.
Akame can't help but slip a smile on her expressionless face at the shy girl "It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Wendy" she reply and a more kinder tone which seems to ease the blue haired girl a bit.
'Huh, I have to give you credit, kid... you are building quite an interesting peerage. All you have to do now is recruit the two' Tairex state in his usual grumpy tone 'I'll cross that bridge when it's time, I don't need to rush' 'Keep telling yourself that'.
Nawin shake his head and smile at the three girls "Let's head out then, I know a perfect place to get all the stuff you girls need" he said making the girls nod and follows the Makasha out of the dark streets.
Kokoro House
"You forgot to mention this to us?!" Issei shriek fearfully at Kokoro's glare and booming voice, "S-sorry!" the Hyoudou slaps his hands together in apologetic gesture and bow his head. Elise who is calmly sited on a couch, place hrt cup of tea down and smile "This beach trip sounds lovely, I wouldn't mind attending it" she said "Alright! I knew you would be onboard, Elise!" Issei grins at his knight.
Kokoro sighs "Next time don't forget such things and I'll also go along... we didn't really have plans for today and the next few days anyway" she said, Issei grins widen "Awesome! Well then! All you guys need to bring is some towel, bikini, sandals, and extra clothes since it is a three-day trip". "I don't have this... bikini" Elise said out, a little confuse by the unusually named item.
Issei pause and look at his knight in surprise "Clearly she's from a different place that is far less advance compare to our world, so let's try another simpler word" Kokoro said to her king before turning to the princess "He means swim attire, you are going to swim at the beach after all" "Ah! I see... I'm sorry to inform this, but I didn't bring any of those" "Don't worry, I have a few of them myself that you can borrow, we do have similar body shape, so there shouldn't be any problem" "You have my thanks, Kokoro" "No problem, Elise".
Issei smile at the two interaction, he can already see a bond building between them and it was what he wanted 'I'm sure they will become great friends'. Kokoro walk up the stairs with Elise, she pauses for a second and glance at the Hyoudou "Wait a second, we'll pack the stuff we need, and Elise needs to try the attires on to see if it perfectly fit... do not peak" she warns darkly, making the brown-haired boy nod and sweat at the vicious glare "R-right, I'll just make myself comfortable on the couch" "Good boy".
After a few minutes pass, Issei turn around when hearing footstep coming from the stairs, he is surprise to see the girls clothes is completely change. Kokoro now wears a sleeveless black collar shirt, the collar is bright orange and she leaves some buttons unclip to show a glimpse of her orange bikini bra, for under she wears a short blue jean that shows off her shapely legs. Misako wears a blue short-sleeve shirt that is kept unbutton, that shows her tone stomach and red bikini bra covering her breast, a red skirt is worn underneath, that reach down to her knee.
"If you are done goggling us... we should move" Kokoro comment with dull tone seeing Issei staring at their body "R-right, sorry" he apologize and scratch his head sheepishly. "You two do look beautiful though" Issei said in an unexpectedly honest tone that didn't have any perversion in it which surprise Kokoro while Elise blush a bit at the compliment "T-thank you, Issei!".
Kokoro smirk and throws the gym bag, containing all their stuff, at the Hyoudou, which he catch "Since you are such a gentleman, carry that for me" Issei chuckle and nod down "Of course, my Queen" he play along and open the door for the girls "Let's head to the Occult Building".
Mall
Nawin leans on a wall, laying on the ground beside him is a plastic bag that contain towels, sandals, extra clothes and some bikinis they already picked themselves while he was out to get himself some swimming trunks. The black haired wanted calmly, as the three girls are currently in the dressing room, trying out their last swim attire.
The Makasha hear a curtain swipe open, making him turn to see Akame walking out, wearing a red bikini that has black strips going to the side, a thin black string that looks like it could snap and cause the whole bra to fall, the color of the bra match with the black underwear that has the same thin string and it looks a little tight, that it shows of the knight's backside a bit too much.
Akame rubs her right arm and look down with a faint blush covering her face "Is... is this good?" she asks for opinion from her king. Nawin smile and nod "You look wonderful in them, the color really brings out your shining red eyes" he said, which cause the girl to smile shyly and nod "Thanks, Nawin-kun".
Another curtain open to show Misako slowly walk out and Nawin turn to her to see she's wearing a pink bikini bra with a bowtie that is tied in front to add extra tightness it, for under she wears a pink bikini skirt that falls under the underwear, narrowly shielding it. Misako have her hands down, unconsciously without knowing that her action cost her large bust to pop out more which makes the black-haired boy to be a little worry if the bra is going to burst snap, but it seems the Ichiru pick the right one with the bowtie to add extra restriction.
"Don't need to be shy, Misako" Nawin smile at the nervous girl "That swimwear suits you perfectly" "U-um, t-thank you, Nawin-kun! It's just I n-never wore these kind of stuff before... i-it's a bit embarrassing" Misako admits and twiddling her index fingers together.
"Understandable, but it's part of going to the beach, you don't want heavy clothes restraining you from swimming freely" Nawin comment and receive a nod from the pink haired girl "Yeah, I get it". "I-I... I don't want to do this!" Wendy shouts from the curtains "Oh boy" Nawin mutters, expecting this from the incredibly shy girl.
Misako was about to speak, but Nawin raise his hand "I'll handle this" he state and walk toward the curtain and stop in front of it. The Makasha kneels down "Wendy, please don't be so nervous, I invited you also so you can have fun in the beach with your friends and hopefully make more there" he said in a gentle tone "W-why do you invite me even? W-we aren't close f-friends!" the girl question in confusing tone.
"True, but I like to change that and that's why I invited you to this trip, Wendy" Nawin reply "Now please, don't be shy, me, Misako, and Akame will be by your side during the trip if you are scared, after all... that's what friends would do, look out for each other" he states. It takes a minute before the curtain swipe open to show Wendy standing in a nervous posture with both her hands behind and her head facing the ground.
Wendy wears a cute an orange bra that has a white cat design all around it, the bra is wrap around with a clip at the end and to hold it properly there's a white strip that goes over her shoulder connecting to the front and the back of the bra, for the bottom she wears an equally shiny orange bikini skirt that cover her whole thighs.
Nawin smile and gently place his right hand on the girl's soft blue hair "You look adorable, now then... you ready?" he ask and Wendy slowly looks up and stare at the black haired boy's eyes to see warmth, kindness running through them that make her calm down and slowly smile back and nod "Yes" "Glad to hear".
Nawin stand back up and turn to the rest "Why don't you guys wear a button shirt to hide your swimwear, you don't want to show them until reaching the beach" he advises. The girls nod in agreement "Here, I picked some up for you all already" Nawin throws the shirts to the girls.
The three quickly put on the large shirt and button them up "Alright, now hold my han-" Nawin stop himself from saying anymore when he remembers that Wendy has no knowledge of the supernatural world and his true identity.
"S-she knows, Nawin-kun" Misako announce and greatly surprising the black-haired boy, who turn to Wendy and see her tapping the ground nervously. "She walked in during when Mom and Dad explain the whole supernatural world to me, and they let Wendy in since in her position... there's a chance she will be involve in it" Misako explains.
"I see... was that why you've been so nervous around me?" Nawin question the blue haired girl who nod back "Y-yes... but you are awfully nice to be a devil" she admits. Misako giggle while Nawin and Akame smile at the comment "Not all devils are bad like the churches and bible would say" the Makasha comment and affectionately ruffles the young girl's hair.
"Now I want you all to hold my hand" Nawin request, bringing his right arm up, and Akame hesitantly hold his hand while Wendy grab onto the wrist and Misako on the shoulder. Nawin close his eyes and start to concentrate onto a magic signature he can find 'Hmm... I sense Rias and the others walking to the Occult building, but... wait... there's another magic signature in... no, under the building. Is there someone thieving around there? And I never knew there's a basement'.
Nawin glance at Akame who immediately gets the massage and nods while holding onto his hand tighter. Nawin close his eyes and focus on the magic signature, then all of them disappear in black flash.
Occult Building: Basement
The four land in a dark room, Nawin take a step forward while Akame cover the two girls at the front. The Makasha scan the surrounding and he is surprise to see the room tidy, there's a normal size television sitting on a table, a comfortable cushions laid around the place, a PlayStation and Xbox console is place under the table with some stack of games beside it.
Nawin move his head to the right, and what he saw cause his whole body to freeze like a stone. There's a brown, wooden coffin leaned on the wall, facing him. Nawin eyes flash in red and he can see pink mana flowing inside it '... It just awake'.
Suddenly the coffin's door creak open, mist flows from the opening, and slowly a figure step out of the coffin. Nawin body tense while Akame summons the black thunder. The mist clears to show a rather short androgynous looking person, they have light platinum blonde hair that is style to a short bob cut with several small fringes over their forehead, and another weird thing is that instead of normal ear, theirs is pointy like elves, Nawin also notes that the unknown person wears the Kuoh Academy girl's uniform.
Slowly the person open their eyes to show a similar red slit eyes, Nawin eyes blaze in rage when seeing Sayomi's smirking face and staring at him with those very same eyes.
"VAMPIRE!", the girls are shock when black aura explodes around the Makasha and he speed forward the short blonde with demonic lightning charge up. The vampire gasp and scream in fright while stumbling back. "STOP!" a familiar voice shouts.
Just as Nawin was about to thrust the demonic lightning through the vampire's chest, he is stop by numbers of hands grabbing onto him. The vampire opens its eyes and is shock to see Rias holding the Makasha's right hand that's producing the deathly lightning magic, Yuuto grab onto his right leg, while Koneko take the left one, and lastly Akeno hold onto his waist with her right arm slung around it.
Xenovia, along with Issei, Elise, and Kokoro stood in the entrance, looks at the scene in speechless shock.
Nawin set his red eyes to the Gremory "What is this?!" he said with venomous tone that cause all the four to flinch but still hold their grips on him tight "That is my Bishop, Nawin" Rias explain. "... Been keeping secrets like this from us?... holding a vampire right beneath our feet!" he shouts and hatred is added when he said the world vampire which cause the platinum haired bishop to flinch and take a few steps back to hide behind the coffin.
The demonic lightning discharge and disappear "Let go of me... now" Nawin said with warning tone, promising pain would come if they don't. The four slowly release their grasp, and Nawin turns around and barge through them "Go to the beach yourselves, I am not going with you untrustworthy people" he said with venom that it stings all the four members heart like salt on a fresh wound.
Akeno runs toward the Makasha and grab his hand when he was about to exit up the stairs "Nawin-kun, ple-" she is stop when Nawin lift his left index finger and a powerful wind explode around his body, pushing the raven haired girl away. "Don't touch me" Nawin utters and exit the basement, leaving the heartbreaking Akeno sitting on the floor.
Nawin silently cuss, slamming the door of the occult building entrance and exit out of the building to only be stop by Asia, who's slowly coming forward to the building with her wheelchair. Nawin anger expression quickly change into calm and worry "Asia... what are you doing out here?" "Ah! Hi Onii-chan! And I was out here because Akeno quickly rush into the building along with the other and told me to stay here... did something happen?" she asks, tilting her head "No... nothing happen" "Oh thank goodness! Anyway, are you excited for the beach? I can't wait for all of us to have fun!" she said with a bright smile.
Nawin flinch ever so lightly when he hears the excitement in his sister's voice, he knew if she found out that he isn't going then it will ruin the whole trip for her. Nawin clench his teeth and glance back at the Occult building 'She deserve this fun trip... after being stuck at home for so long' "Yeah... let's head in".
Occult Building
"You're saying that he is a vampire?!" Issei question in astonish as he along with the rest stare at the box that the vampire is currently receded in "Looks more like a girl... stop mistaken the vampire like you did with Irina, Issei" Xenovia comment in slight annoyance making the brown-haired boy chuckle sheepishly "Actually... Issei is right this time, Gasper is a male, he just has more feminine traits and prefer dressing in girl's clothes" Rias reply.
"I-I think we should be leaving" Misako speaks out as she along with Wendy are awkwardly standing in the corner, feeling completely out of place now that their friend isn't here. Rias looks up and force a smile "I-" she is interrupt when the door slams open to show the Makasha entering in.
Everyone is surprise seeing Nawin return "Let me make it clear, I'm not doing this for you... I'm doing this for her" he said and slowly Asia enters the room and greet everyone with a smile "Hello everyone!" she waves, "By the way" the blonde pouts "That was rude to just leave me out there! You made me worry". Akeno and the others quickly apologize "Sorry about that, Asia... we thought there's a magic signature inside and quickly gone to investigate it... Luckily it was nothing" Rias convincingly lie, not wanting the blonde to worry "It's ok, mistakes happen".
Nawin stop in front of Misako and place a comfort hand on her shoulder and offers a smile "Sorry about that, both of you shouldn't have seen that" he said "It's ok, I-I'm glad you're back... it was getting a bit awkward" Misako reply shyly with Wendy, behind her nodding in agreement. "Are we going to the beach still?" Akame questions, standing beside the girls "Yes, I want you three to enjoy this, so I'll come along" he said making the girls smile.
Akeno take a step forward but pause and hold her head down in sadness and hurt, she knew the Makasha must feel hurt from them hiding such secret, she can even see Issei is in deep thought, unsure how to feel, while Xenovia seems uneven though she could just be hiding it under those cold expressions.
The trust that Nawin has with them have waned, 'I will fix this' Akeno promise herself and turn to Rias who seems to have a similar thought, judging by her blank expression, signaling that she's deep in thought. Rias release a sigh and stand up "Gasper, you mind coming out of that box and properly introduce yourself to everyone?" she asks the introvert vampire in a soft tone.
The box raddles for a second before Gasper's head pop out and immediately his sight is on Nawin, and sees his stoic brown eyes gazing at him with coldness that cause him to squeak and hide back into the box "N-no!" he shouts in the box.
Nawin sigh in annoyance and make way to the door "I'll be waiting outside while that vampire introduce himself, clearly I bring fear to him" he states and walk out of the door. "Nawin-kun, please don't leave! He's just very shy" Rias reasons, not wanting anymore wedge being driven in her peerage.
Asia tilt her head in confusion and control her wheelchair to stop in front of the box "Hello Gasper-san! My name is Asia Makasha Argento, please don't be afraid of my big brother, he may look a bit scary on the outside, but he is really kind!" she said. Everyone look on in interest while Nawin pause and glance back.
Slowly Gasper pop his head out of the box and look at the blonde who resonates a kind and caring aura that quickly calms his nerve, "W-why is your name so long?" he questions "Argento is my original name from my family who abandoned me in church when I was a baby, my life has been lonely for a long time until big brother took me in his family and that's where I get the name Makasha from... if it wasn't for him... I might not even be here" Asia said.
Gasper is surprise by the new fact and quickly glance at the older Makasha before turning back to the blind blonde "H-he tried to kill me" he speaks, and everyone flinch wondering what the blonde girl reaction will be. Asia expression shows deep thought before it changes into a smile "Are you... perhaps a vampire? I can sense a familiar aura in you" she questions "K-kind of, I'm a Dhampir... half-vampire and half-human".
"I see... I may not be able to fully justify my brother's action, but know that a certain vampire has cause him lots of pain... cause all of us pain. I told you that I felt a familiar aura in you, it's hers that I felt because I guess you both are vampires" Asia said in a calm and mature tone, Gasper look at her in surprise "W-why is she doing that?" "We don't know, perhaps for her amusement... she is responsible for my blindness and she has tortured my brother endlessly... not only her but there's others" "I-is that why he tried to attack me? Because he has hate in vampires?" Gasper question, now putting the pieces together.
"Yes, I know he wouldn't attack you out of his own will... my guess is that seeing you first time could have just brought those bad memories back and blinded him into doing what he did" "Asia... stop" Nawin gently place his hand on the blonde's shoulder. Gasper quickly hide back into his box "You said enough... plus, it's not him that I'm angry with" Nawin said and glance at the four consist of Koneko, Yuuto, Akeno, and especially Rias "And if you're listening to me... Gasper, I apologize for my actions, those eyes of yours have reminded me of some unpleasant memory" he said, looking at the box.
"Now..." Nawin release the blonde's shoulder and fully turn to his king "Are we heading out or not?" Rias slowly nod "I'll get the teleportation ready, all of us need to be close together" "You all go first, I'll take Asia, Akame, Misako, and Wendy afterwards" "Wh-" "None of your business, just go" Nawin cuts off and push Asia back to the three girls.
Issei was about to say something, getting tired of Nawin being so rude, but a hand slam on his shoulder making him look back to see Kokoro shaking her head "Don't... it's between them" she whispers, making him slowly nod. Everyone gathers around in the center of the room, Koneko carry the box that Gasper is still hiding in. Akeno stare at the Makasha and see him completely ignoring her, having his back face toward them, which cause her head to hung down.
Rias sees the state of her friend and wince 'We'll get this fix' she promises herself, then flick her finger to summon the teleportation that. The group disappear in red sparkle, signaling they have teleported to the beach. "A-are you ok, Nawin-kun?" Misako ask, seeing the stone expression on the Makasha's face.
Akame cross her arms, looking cross "They didn't trust you enough to reveal this information... they probably didn't have faith enough to think you could control your hatred, Nawin-kun" she said. Wendy step fully out and nod in agreement "They are your friends... why wouldn't they trust you with secrets?" she ask "They must have a good reason, we shouldn't just blindly put things into place" Asia state calmly.
"Let's stop talking about it" Nawin clears out, catching all their attention "It's my problem and theirs... we'll sort it out, but yes... I've grown to mistrust them a little. Like I said that is my problem, I want you all to enjoy this beach trip since I certainly will try to relax there... so do me a favor and get rid of this situation out of your mind and enjoy your time with the others".
"They aren't bad people?" Wendy ask, poking her index finger together "No they aren't... they are good people, it's just that their leader is still inexperience and clueless at times. You'll make friends with them, Wendy, so please be open and like I said before, if you need any help all of us are here with you... you already made friends with Asia and she's part of their group" Nawin said with a smile.
Wendy turn to Asia who smile at her "Y-yeah, I guess your right" she replies with her own smile. "Misako, will you be ok?" Nawin ask "Yeah, I'll be fine as long as you're ok with going to beach. I'll have fun for your sake, you did invite us so it's an insult to you if we don't fully enjoy it" she said "Although I'm a bit angry at them for hiding this from you... I'll as well try and enjoy this opportunity, for your sake, Nawin-kun" Akame agrees.
The Makasha chuckles "Don't make it sound like it's a mission to enjoy the beach you two, just let loss and have fun!" he said, "Fun in the beach!" Asia agrees, pumping her fist in the air with Wendy and Misako joining. Nawin smile and tell all the girls to hold his hand before they disappear in black flash.
Underworld
"Can I say something and you won't take it to heart?" "Sure, go ahead" "Your little sister is naïve at times, she really needs to grow up" "She's young... it will take time" Sirzech sighs, as he along with Azazel and Grayfia stare at the crystal sphere that showed the event that have just transpired in the Occult building.
Azazel scowl "She clearly still is oblivious with everything... the future for them is going to be tough and she can't even keep her peerage stable. Rias should have informed Nawin and the others about Gasper, especially Nawin because of his hatred for vampires, if she did so, then this situation could have been avoided... instead she was too spineless to do so" "Enough!" Grayfia orders, not liking the tone the fallen angel use when speaking about her sister-in-law.
Sirzech leans back on his chair and stare at the now plain crystal sphere "I agree with you in certain degree, and it's now her job to rebuild that trust back... I know you are upset that her actions cause some turbulent toward Nawin and Akeno relationship and I'm positive she knows that, so let her fix it".
Azazel just hums and look at the other side of the room "Where is he?" he mutters in annoyance and right on que, a blinding golden light emerge in the center of the room. Slowly and gracefully Michael walk out of the light and greet the three with a smile "Sorry for being late" "You're always late" Azazel grumbles as the blonde stop beside him and chuckle softly "I just gotten done with an important meeting".
Michael turn to Sirzech "I agree to allow my selected Angel warrior to participate in this tournament" he announce, "I'm glad to hear" Sirzech smile "Is the Black Flash participating?" the angel ask, "What is it to you?" Azazel ask with narrow eyes in suspicion.
Michael turn to the Fallen Angel leader, holding an amusing look in his green eyes "Quite protective of him" he said with a chuckle before smiling "Have no worry, I just wanted to know, since he will be a fine person to test my warrior". Sirzech eye the blonde angel for a new minute before slowly nod "Yes, he is in the tournament, representing Vesarima".
"I'm glad to hear that, I've got good news to bring back then!" Michael said happily making Sirzech and Grayfia look at him with slight confusion, while Azazel finally understand what the angel is up to and roll his eyes 'Of course...'. "Well, I'm sorry to cut this short, but I have other things that needs to be taken care of, I shall see you all at the day of the tournament" Michael said and walk back to the center of the room.
"Make sure they are prepared" Azazel jest nonchalantly as Michael turn around to face them "I will assign my sister to personally get them ready" he said, which catch Sirzech attention and his eyes narrow. Michael smile and golden aura envelope him before shooting through the ceiling, "If Gabriel is going to train those two warriors... I may need to up Nawin's training even more" Azazel mutters to himself, then turns to the two devil "Since this meeting is over, I'm heading out".
Azazel take a few paces away from the Satan's desk "Very well and don't worry about Nawin, I'm sure the matter will be resolve by the end of their beach trip" Sirzech reassures. Azazel turns around and shrug "If Rias own up to it, realize her mistakes and apologize to him, then everything will be resolve... I'm sure it will be, but it better be done before the trip ends".
Black feathers start surrounding Azazel "I need Nawin to have a clear mind without distractions, and I don't want Akeno to get anymore hurt" he said before the feathers completely envelope him and disburse into nothingness.
