" Kenji said.
"Admirable. " Azazel complimented the young redheaded Devil.
"But something tells me that there's more to the story. "
"There is. " Kenji said, his face hardening.
"When I got my pieces, my father tried to make me join Rias' peerage, and give her the pieces that were rightfully mine. " Kenji was somehow calm through the whole of him talking, but Azazel was guessing that he was going to blow up any second.
"Well, that was the last straw for me. I gave Zeoticus a well-deserved bite on the hand, and I left the Gremory family.
" Kenji continued. "Two months of wandering around the Underworld later, I came into a cave, and…"
"And I know the rest. " Azazel said.
"Well, that's… that's quite a story, Kenji. "
"Heh, it does seem to be, doesn't it?" Kenji asked. "I've heard rumours that Zeoticus is still looking for me."
"You don't have to worry. " Azazel said.
"Any Devil who steps foot onto Grigori territory gets killed on the spot, as an unspoken part of the peace treaty. "
"Apart from me and Valian. " Kenji pointed out.
"Heh. " Azazel chuckled and folded his arms.
"I took in Valian because she has a Sacred Gear, and I always wanted a daughter. I took you in because Valian practically begged me to, and I always wanted a son."
"I'm… honoured, Azazel. " Kenji said, after a couple of seconds.
"Thanks. "
"You're welcome. " Azazel replied.
"But there's someone else you should thank, as well. " He grinned.
"You can come out now!"
Line Break
Valian had just come out of the shower, and had two towels wrapped around her body (one for her hair and one for her body). Walking into her room, which was as tidy as Kenji's was messy, she got dressed, into her normal outfit.
As she got dressed, she thought about Kenji.
'Do I seriously love him?' she asked. 'A part of me wants to tell me that I have these feelings for him, but another part of me wants to just focus on training with Kenji.
' Valian spent the next five minutes in her room, debating with herself.
Should she tell him?
Or not?
Should she?
Or no?
Yay?
Or nay?
After the five minutes, Valian stood up.
"I'm going to do it. " She said to herself, quietly.
She walked out of her room, and just got to the top of the stairs, when she heard Azazel and Kenji talking. And the words Kenji said made her stop dead in her tracks.
"But, fortunately, one of the maids, Zest, stopped me. I owe my life to her.
It got better after that. "
Questions ran through Valian's mind.
'Who is this Zest? What did she stop Kenji from doing? Why does Kenji owe his life to her?' But Kenji kept talking.
"I stopped thinking about suicide-" Valian's heart seemed like it'd been turned to ice. Kenji had contemplated suicide? And it sounded like he'd attempted suicide as well?
Oh, shit.
But, at least he said he stopped thinking about it.
So, that was a good sign, right?
Right?!
RIGHT?!
"But then, I became the first Devil to get more than one Mutation Piece in my set. " Valian heard Kenji's voice.
"How many did you get?" Azazel asked.
"Eight. All Pawns.
" Valian's jaw dropped. She'd heard a bit about the Evil Pieces, and how they were created by the current Beelzebub (Ajuka, she believed his name was) to replenish the population of the Devil race, and the Mutation Pieces, which were randomly given to one in every ten Devils that were eligible for an Evil Piece set.
But Kenji had EIGHT Mutation Pieces…
Damn.
"I took in Valian because she has a Sacred Gear, and I always wanted a daughter. I took you in because Valian practically begged me to, and I always wanted a son."
Valian blushed. That was true: Azazel had taken in Kenji because she had asked him to.
"You can come out now!"
Valian jumped almost a foot. She was sure no-one could hear her.
But, knowing her game was up, she walked downstairs, and saw Azazel and Kenji sitting on the sofas.
"How did you know it was me?" she asked.
"Who else is in here?" Azazel asked. When Valian had no answer, he smirked.
"Kenji wants to say something. " Valian looked at Kenji, who sighed.
"Valian, thanks for asking Azazel to bring me into the Grigori. I would've likely died had you not asked him."
"It's alright. " Valian said, coolly.
"But I wanted to ask," Kenji said, and Valian looked at Kenji again. "What made you ask?" Azazel looked to Valian as well, smirking slightly.
"I… uh…" Valian's eyes shifted from Kenji to Azazel, and she blushed. "I… had my reasons."
"Yeah, sure you did. " Azazel said.
"She has a crush on you. " He whispered to Kenji, and laughed out loud at the beet-red colour Valian's face went.
"I do not!" the half-Devil shouted.
"Sure. " Azazel said, sarcastically.
"Sure. See you later, Kenji.
" He nodded to Kenji, winked at Valian, and left.
Once he was gone, Valian's blush disappeared, and she walked towards Kenji, then grabbed him in a tight hug.
"Kenji…" she said, holding him so he wouldn't let go. "Was it true, what you said? Did you attempt to commit suicide?"
"Yes. " Kenji said, straight-off.
There was no point denying it, if Valian had heard everything. "But I'm off it, now!" he said, at the look on Valian's face.
"Good. " Valian said, in a tone that said 'If you attempt suicide again, I'll stop you, and kill you myself!' She let him go, and sat down on the sofa, Kenji following suit.
"Hey, Valian, there's something I wanted to ask you. " Kenji said, looking at the older Devil hesitantly.
"Oh?" Valian asked. "What is it?"
"Would you… want to go on a date… with-" Kenji barely got the sentence finished, when Valian had grabbed him and pulled him into another hug, unintentionally (or intentionally?) pushing his face into her impressive breasts and cleavage.
