Chapter 13: Sisters and Secrets
Rias Gremory
Heiress of Gremory Clan
Nervous
So here I am, awaiting the DC president wondering how come their building looks and feels so much better than the ORC. Akeno said that Omega-san did most of the interior and Adelheid and Hibari chose the outside and the training grounds out back. Hmm, maybe I should acquire their services to redo the ORC room?
"Would you like some cookies Gremory-chan" asks the green eyed brunette sitting behind the reception counter, breaking me out of my thoughts.
"I would love to try some of the cookies that made my koneko-chan not want any more of our usual supply Ms. Kiryuu." With a warm smile I reach for a couple cookies and man are these good. Who knew that a single cookie could be made so well? Should I ask for their recipes? No, focus Rias you have to convince Hibari-san to join your peerage. He would be a great help in my plan to get out of this stupid pre-arranged engagement. My idiot of a father arranged a stupid bet with the Phenex family when they were younger and the price was one of his daughters had to marry a Phenex son.
Obviously Sirzechs-nee was off limits since she became 'The Lucifer' abandoning the family name, but even I know she feels guilty about her choice since it led to me being engaged to Riser Phenex, third son of the stupid Phenex family. If only there was some way that whole stupid clan would be destroyed, unfortunately the underworld needs Phenex tears so they're there to stay.
In the middle of my brain storm I turn my head hoping to see the man I've been waiting 14 minutes on to walk through the door only to find Aureole-san accompanied by Sona. With a quick smile to my sister-like friend and greetings to the DC member I pat the seat next to me so Sona knows to take a seat.
"It's a pleasure to finally see you out of your Student council chair Sona." I love this girl but she seriously needs to relax sometimes.
"Likewise Rias, I heard that some of your members got into a small altercation with the DC group. I hope it doesn't cause any bad blood between you." To anyone else that would sound like a friend who was genuinely worried, but to someone who grew up with this schemer, I can already see how she plans to use that bit of information to her benefit.
"Oh~ I have no idea what you mean Sona, its just a small dispute between friends after all." I notice her little sly grin that has irritated me since we were kids. I was about to say something back to her when the silent stare down was interrupted by Aika-san's phone going off.
'Never Say Neverrr. I will fight, for now and foreverrrrr'
"Hello Hibari-san…..right now…okay…..alright….Omega-san?.....oh yes I'll pass your message on…yessir I'm on my way now. Bye."
Oh what's going on? A quick side glance and I can tell me and Sona are on the same page. We both have amazing hearing so it's no doubt that we can hear the sounds of someone yelling in the background about filthy human scum. With a quick magic circles on each of our fingers we alert our separate peerages to be ready to move, when Aika leaves the building and Aureole takes her position.
"Omega-san since he seems to be busy would it be okay to reschedule our appointments until tomorrow?" I ask her trying to find an excuse to leave. And it works as she doesn't question us and I and Sona make our way to the exit. "Sona did you catch what was happening on the other side? Your hearing is a bit better than mine. "
"A bit? Mmmhm it seems as if Hibari-san and Suzuki-san were fighting in the background and at least 18 different voices from what I can hear." Nodding my head we increase the pace of our footsteps as we make our way through campus.
"I'll grab Akeno and your grab Tsubaki and let's see if we can't be of assistance and gain some brownie points while we're at it. We both want him in our peerages but only one can have him so let's show off a bit and see who comes out on top." I suggest, and I can see her nodding her head in acceptance of my plan.
We grab our queens and fill them in on the situation and open a teleportation circle to where Sona threw a tracking spell on Aika-san from earlier. She's always 10 steps ahead and it suck's, after our very first game of chess where I taught her the rules, I have yet to beat her a second time. But im not bitter, since she used the game to get out of her pre-arranged marriage. It's a shame im no chess prodigy or I'd do something similar.
Walking through the circle, we find ourselves In the middle of the Kuoh wildlife and animal nature preserve. It's supposed to be a place crawling with animal and plant life but now this is a park out of a child's nightmare. Headless animal corpses everywhere, some broken, some shredded.
"Sona. What the hell happened here?" I ask my friend knowing she would've hypothesized at least 15 scenarios since we arrived. But her answer kind of worries me when she says it seems as if a pack of stray werewolves were running amok in the preserve. I clench my fist in worry knowing that as incredible as Hibari-san is he's still only human and no match for a pack of were-wolves. "Akeno we're moving now. If it snarls kill it, If it speaks talk it out after we've confirmed Hibari, Suzuki, and Kiryuu are alive."
"Yes Buchou," replied my loyal queen. We all open our wings getting ready to take flight when we hear Kiryuu's voice yelling throughout the park.
"GRAVIREI"
We fall flat on our faces as we struggle to get up for a second, but with our superior physiques it's nothing too challenging. But what is surprising is that "Was Kiryuu-san on the list of registered mages in the city?" I ask to my friend who handles internal and external affairs, since im in charge or stray eliminations. But the look on her face tells me everything I need to know.
"No she isn't and if she uses a spell like this then I don't think Suzuki and Hibari could survive." Catching the hint of panic we all speed up our movements heading in Kiryuu's direction only to be completely shocked at the sight.
12 dead werewolves with Hibari-san sitting on top of their corpses completely ignoring the fact of Adelheid talking with a shaking silver haired girl and Aika fighting the last werewolf with a pair of Escrima sticks and a mix of gravity magic. It doesn't even take her 3 minutes to dispatch the wolfling but she's drenched in sweat and almost heeling over.
"Nice job Aika, you've come a long way since the beginning." States Hibari Kyouya in a matter of indifference. He hops off the pile of wolves as he looks into our direction and says "Guess it's time we had a talk huh."
