(??? POV)
*sniff* *sniff* "This way mother, he's in this house!"
"I'm coming kunou sweetie,so this is where the person who got you down that tree lives?"
A woman with blonde hair and regal poise say to an energetic little girl as they reached an apartment which held a boy.
Looking at the nameplate I read out the family name ichinose,it wasn't a big house but it was big enough to hold a family of four,yet the home seemed…lonely.
As youkai we are more sensitive to emotions,negative ones especially due to our nature.
I see a bunch of flowers placed near the gate of the ichinose family,a welcoming of ancestral spirits…a death anniversary perhaps?
"Mother are you okay? You've been staring at those flowers for a minute straight,it there meaning behind flowers?" Kunou asked.
I look at here before giving a smile,"I'm alright kunou…the flowers were giving me…a sad memory in my life." Kunou nods her head in understanding.
What she said was true,the scene before her reminded her of when she lost her mate to an unknown assailant on the day kunou was born.
The gods of the Shinto faction and resident devils alike tried to find the assailant but found no lead.
I look at the door to the home about to ring the doorbell,but another Presence behind the mother daughter pair spoke out.
"Lady yasaka what a surprise,did you also come to visit this home?" Said a masculine voice that held a hint of surprise and annoyance.
I turned around and sees a man with long blood red hair,behind the man is a woman with silver hair dressed as a maid.
"Lord Gremory,lady Grayfia, glad to see you are both together,how is rias these days?" I ask sirzechs and his face simultaneously lights up but dim just as quickly.
"She's doing fine,but she doesn't want to have an arranged marriage to the phenex family's eldest son,and I want to help her break the engagement,but I've yet to find someone better to replace him."
I nod my head understanding the struggle one of the mous of the underworld is having for his beloved little sister.
"Now that pleasantries are out of the way,why are you at this house? It may be on the border of kuoh and the next town over but it's nearly outside your territory." I ask the two devils with sirzechs just laughing while scratching the back of his head.
Grayfia on the other hand stepped forward to address the reason.
"Apologies,an hour ago I was passing by this particular house when a sudden spike of mana appeared inside this home which caught my attention,so I went to tell my husband and we decided to investigate together."
Now understanding their reason I look at kunou who was staying silent during the confrontation glancing at us in a confused manner.
When she realizes the talk was over she walks back to me and holds my hand as I ring the doorbell.
*ding dong*
We all hear what sound like a stumble followed by a groan inside,followed by a very deep almost entrancing voice," I'm coming."
The door soon unlocked and my heart just skipped a bunch of beats at the person I saw.
He has a very muscular defined body,hair as white as a yuki-onna's skin,and facial features that would put supermodels and even devils to shame.
"I wasn't expecting any company,who might you all be?" He said in a normal tone but his voice made him sound downright seductive.
As I was struggling for words I see kunou tugging at the sleeve for the boys attentions.
"Hey Mr. Why do you look different from how I saw you on that tree?"
The boy in question looked at kunou and gave a gentle but confused smile," I don't remember seeing you on a tree,I remember trying to get a fox cub down from a very tall tree before falling."
"Also what do you mean I look different?" He asks clearly oblivious to his appearance.
He then looks at the mirror near the door and his eyes widen before he shouted.
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO ME?!" Which shocked all of us at the sudden change in his tone,at which I cleared my throat ,"maybe we should talk about this inside,you can tell us what happened prior to us visiting." I suggest which led to the boy nodding and gestures us to come inside.
"Pardon the intrusion then" I say as an act of common courtesy to the boy as I see an alter with two pictures of a man and a woman.
Sirzechs now sitting down looks at the boy and asks a question," so mr?" At which the boy responded," ichinose,yoriichi ichinose sir"
"Alright yoriichi,are any of your parents home?" He asks and suddenly the atmosphere of the home went from a lonely feeling to a downright sad feeling.
"My parent died seven weeks ago from a traffic accident,so sadly I'm the only resident in this house." He says as I see a tear yoriichi didn't even notice was falling.
"Oh…I'm sorry for your loss." He says while bowing his head at which yoriichi panicked and says it's fine because we didn't know,but I felt his pain,and it was similar to when I lost my mate.
Grayfia appeared out of the kitchen with tea made for us to enjoy as she takes a seat next to her insensitive husband,giving the man a light smack on the head.
"Apologies for my husband yoriichi-sama,we both came here because of a sudden spike in mana a little while ago and came to investigate."
"Mana…as in magic? That doesn't exist." Yoriichi says which shock the three out of the four of us,the sole exception being kunou who was looking at yoriichi with a blush and a sparkle in her eyes,did he really not know about the supernatural world.
Realizing this I sigh which caught his attention.
I let all nine of my tails loose shocking the boy into falling on his behind and staring at me like he saw a ghost.
"Ah…M-M-Miss…you have tails on your body!" He stammers pointing at them,a gesture that was rude to me but I let it slide considering his circumstance.
"Yes they are real,im a fox Yokai and the leader of the western yokai faction of Japan,and the husband and wife pair are from the devil faction living in Japan "
As if understanding what I was doing the two let their wings put scaring the boy even more…his reactions were too cute in my opinion but due to me being a leader I held that thought to myself.
"Ssss-So this means that demons exist,as well as yokai?" He asks still looking like he was struggling to comprehend what's happening.
Grayfia speaks up on his realization,"there is also the angel faction and the fallen angel faction,as well as the godly factions ranging from Norse to Hindu pantheons."
It takes the boy a while to digest this revelation thrusted upon him,"so…this means every religion is real,and demons,-angels and fallen angels also exist amongst humanity?"
It took him a minute to calm down before we asked the question that bothered us all the most,what was his original appearance.
"Yoriichi-sama,you said your body is different from what it was earlier today,do you have a photo of what you looked like before?"
Yoriichi gets up and walks over to a bookshelf as we all watch,he pulls out a book that held pictures of himself with his mother and father at the school gate.
"Here,this was taken eight weeks ago,here I have black hair and light blue eyes." He says pointing at the most recent photo.
Grayfia who saw this asks another question to put more pieces together. "So do you remember what happened before you…transformed for lack of a better term?"
"Yeah…I was told to go home from school and when I got home I looked at the alter,suddenly I felt pain all across my body as if I was directly in the sun,then I passed out on the spot on the floor."
He then points to the spot near the home phone which was moist and smelled of sweat and a small bit of blood.
"Soon after I passed out I woke up to the doorbell ringing and here we are."
Sirzechs who was silent for the most part of this visit spoke up," do you know anything about your heritage,or anything that might give you an answer?"
I look at the boy as he was thinking and as he was thinking I noticed a separate mana source from upstairs in the home.
"Yoriichi,did your mother or father ever mention something upstairs that could give you answers?"
His eyes lit up in realization as he got off the recliner in the room before turning to the stairs,"follow me." He said to us at which I told kunou to stay downstairs while we go and follow yoriichi.
"When my mom remarried to my step father,she told me that when the world isn't how I know it anymore, and I don't feel like my usual self anymore,the answers I seek will be in the attic." He says before continuing,"whenever I tried to open the door leading to the attic it would never open even though it was always unlocked,maybe todays the day…that I get to find out who my real father is,we're here."
We all stop as we see the end of the hall,at the end there was a door next to a room that was definitely for yoriichi,"whenever I try to show Antony this door everyone says the door doesn't exist,but it always made me wonder why I can see it."
Grayfia being observant of what was said came up with an idea,"maybe there is a spell to keep the door hidden from anyone who isn't related to your mother?"
We all watch as we see the boy hesitantly reaches for the doorknob and to yoriichi's surprise the door opened up with a creak.
"It…it opened." We hear yoriichi mutter as we see a spiral staircase leading to the third floor of the home.
As we go up,the mana was getting stronger and stronger,to the point even yoriichi could feel it.
And as we reach the top of the stairs we see what looks like a study,but in the room it also held a weapon stand near the right side of the desk containing four weapons,two pistols,a claymore and a katana.
On the left side of the desk was a locker that was open showing red trench coats and deep black pants.
Yoriichi was looking at all that was in there when the mana spiked on the desk catching everyone's attention.
On the desk an envelope was shining,and yoriichi walked over and picked it up.
I as well as sirzechs and grayfia watch as the boy opened the envelope and inside was a letter.
He starts to read it allowed as he was the one holding it and couldn't read it.
"If you are reading this yoriichi,it mean I'm dead and your heritage has awakened."
"There are tons of thing I wanted to tell you,but was afraid that your fathers past will catch up with us"
" what I'm about to tell you is who your real father was and who I really am."
"You see my name wasnt Gabriella,my real name is Gabriel,one of the four great seraphs of heaven,when I met your father I saw him bleeding out and I took pity upon him,and helped nurse home back to health."
"Originally I was going to let him go after he healed,but I started falling in love with him,and one day we got biblical,and nine months later you were born,but all good things come to an end."
"Soon the people who hurt your father before caught up with him and he gave us time to escape,but in the end he didn't make it."
"Your fathers name was leonis Sparda the last son of the sparda family."
As I finished reading the letter I look back and see grayfia and sirzechs look at me in shock while yasaka looks at me with intrigue.
"You…your not only a half angel and devil hybrid,but your the last member of what was a powerful and ancient but dead bloodline…your perfect!!"
"…What?"
————————————————————-
So yeah yoriichi is a half demon and half angel hybrid(I'll explain why he exists as such later on),so he's unimaginably powerful.
Also before he anyone says angels can't have sex,this is an AU so that rule doesn't exist,but reality was bent so yoriichi can have the sparda bloodline without raising any alarms from the devil side about an unknown demon and demon bloodline.
But yeah I hope I'm doing this series right,please don't hesitate to let me know where I may improve,.
hope you enjoy and I love you all,peace😁✌️
