Chapter 30 - Boosted Gear Stolen.

Chiron explained that the tree was poisoned and as such the wards around the whole camp were beginning to weaken. Kurayami looked at them and felt they were very weak. "If nothing is done the wards will be easily broken. Even a few Fallen Angels attacking together could result in them breaking. What are you going to do?"

Chiron frowned and looked at Kurayami. "The oracle said he would go with Clarise, but someone took her along with 20 demigods. The gods are pissed and want their children back." Kurayami shook his head. "We gave the kids their choice and most of them never met their parents. They hold no loyalty or love to them."

Kurayami whistled and both of his pets began to follow him. "Well I am going to walk around and see if I can't recrui- I mean befriend some of them." Chiron slammed his hoof down on the ground and Percy flinched.. "Damn that boy. Does he think we are a store he can just pick out the ones he wants?" Percy was going to try to calm him down, but decided to walk away.

Kurayami approached the dying tree and looked it over. He placed his hand on it and focused on it and found that it was poisoned. 'While it won't cure it I can do this.' He focused on the tree's life force and began to recover it. He thought he felt a presence inside and assumed it was the girl named Tallia. 'Could Zeus not just heal his own daughter?'

He left the tree after and just walked around the camo while Aurora and Shin just jumped after each other in a cute wrestling match. He smiled as in his first life when he was not being ordered to kill people he had four dogs. They all died of old age and he waited until the last one died to go on his last killing spree. As he was walking he saw a group of pretty girls who seemed a little sad.

Shin ran over and jumped in on their group. The girls perked up and one picked up Shin. "Hello little one. Where did you come from?" Kurayami walked over and the girls felt he was quite handsome. "He is mine." They passed the happy pup around as he was a big bundle of joy, but one saw Aurora, but she was not like Shin.

"Don't try it. She is like a proud princess and won't let most people pet her." One girl with black curly hair tried to pet Aurora, but as expected it was not allowed. One girl carrying Shin asked. "What is his name?" Kurayami smiled. "Shin." The girl looked at the silver cross on Shin's neck and poked it.

Shin lifted his neck to show off his cool cross as he liked it. "Are you Christian?" He shook his head. "No I'm not. He and Shin wear crosses for certain reasons. Anyway, why are you looking so down?: The girls all looked down and the one with Shin explained. "Luke is going against the gods and he prisoned the tree. If nothing changes we will be attacked as the tree has the wards."

He took Shin in his hands and stroked his fur. "Well that is pretty bad, but what is going to happen Also what is your name?" She sighed. "My name is Silena Beauregard, daughter of Aphrodite. If nothing happens the wards will collapse and our only safe place will be unsafe." He sat down with the girls and had a thoughtful look. He was going to offer them a place, but Chiron grabbed his shoulder.

Shin and Aurora growled at him and the girls were surprised. "Mr. What did he do wrong?" A tan girl nodded. "Yeah. He didn't do anything." Chiron looked at Shin who looked smug and had a thought. 'Do women just rush to cute animals?' "Girls. Don't be fooled by him. He was the one who took the other campers."

The girls looked at him and were curious. "Where did you go?" They all brought the cards from Nephilim and asked about it. "This card says they can train and go on missions when they want. Is that true?" He nodded. "Annabeth and Clarise are on a mission, the rest when they get stronger will be able to go as well."

He picked up Shin and Aurora and waved goodbye. "Well I should go." Before he left Silena got his attention. "Wait? What is your name?" He smiled and introduced himself. "Kurayami Himejima." She nodded remembering his name. "Will we see you or Shin again?" He nodded. "Yeah. I will come back, but I need to go?"

He opened a teleport circle and went back to Japan. He didn't appear back in his house, but in Kuoh Town. He looked around and sighed. "I put the circle on random, but why here of all places?" He started to walk around the town and he was no fool and avoided the detection spells placed by the devils.

As he walked around the town he was not really hiding, but he began to be tailed. He knew the one tailing him had to be pretty strong, but he was not afraid in the least. Just his bloodline alone let him fight at the Satan Class along with fused sacred gear, devils were an easy kill.

He felt a presence of a sacred gear and he went towards it as he was interested in who had it and what it was. However before he got there he was stopped by a woman in a maid outfit. She felt unnerved by the dog who had a cross on its neck and more so when she looked at the boy in front of her.

"Who are you and why are you here?" Kurayami did not answer, but he put down Shin and looked at the maid in front of him. "Now why are you wearing a maid outfit? It is a little demeaning don't you think?" She felt her anger rise as she took pride in being a maid. "If you don't start talking we will be at an impasse."

*GROOOOLLLLL* Shin may be small, but it was only a matter of time for him to grow bigger and stronger. Kurayami snapped his fingers and made a giant dome of purple and black flames. She felt her instincts as a devil telling her to flee from those flames. "Incinerate Anthem." He focused and the flames made more shadows and from the shadows extended swords and scythes.

'No. It is not Incinerate Anthem. The dog and a cross.' Her eyes went wide open as she knew what happened. "You have two sacred gears." His expression didn't change, but his eyes lit up a bit. "Seems you are no fool." He snapped his fingers and stopped the flames. "I could beat you, but I didn't come here to fight."

"Then why are you here? This town is run by devils under the Gremory family." He nodded "Would you believe I took a teleport circle on random?" He was not lying, but no one would believe him. She frowned and he spread his wings and seeing 12 black wings made her shocked. Only Azazel and the Seraphs had 12 wings.

Seeing that Grigori managed to raise up a new 12 wing fallen is a feat on it's own. She had to tell Sirzechs that one of Grigori has this much potential. "Oh by the way. We at Grigori are not looking for a war, but we are ready for one. What is the devils stance on this war?"

She spoke up with no fear. "We do not seek a war either, however your presence here can be seen as aggression." He scoffed. "I really came here on random, but I will leave." He turned to shadows and she lost his presence and needed to know why he was truly here. Like hell she will believe him. As for Kurayami he found the sacred gear user and found a boy a year younger than him and felt he was really weak.

'What is your secret boy?' He sunk into the shadows of the house and appeared behind the boy and focused on the boy. The power he felt came from the left hand and he cut off his hand. Issei was shocked at the pain, but he lost his sacred gear and died in a pool of blood. The arm became a red gauntlet and Kurayami was tempted to try and absorb it, but Shin bit his leg.

It barked telling him that he could not take in any more sacred gears. Two was the limit for his soul and body and another Longinus would kill him. He sighed and looked at it. "I can give this to Akeno, or Vali. Although Sacred gears can evolve into Longinus with god dead."

He sat laid down on the bed looking at the red gauntlet and was thinking of what to do with it. He thought Issei was truly dead, but he was not. He didn't even notice what happened, but he left soon after. The arm of Issei grew back and all memories and evidence of this were wiped.

He went into Azazel's lab and showed off the still bleeding gauntlet. Azazel rushed up and scanned it. "I don't know how you got this and I don't care." Kurayami was confused. "How could you miss a Longinus? It was in Kuoh Town." Azazel had told the truth of where he got the Absorption Line to him as he knew Kurayami well.

"Wait. The same town we got the other boy? How did those guys miss that?" Kurayami looked at the Gauntlet in his hands and was totally conflicted on what to do with it. "Should i give it to Akeno or give it to Vai?" Azazel sat down to ponder and he gave his answer. "Give it to Akeno. Vali will die if he tries to do what you did?"

Kurayami was confused about that. "Why did mine fuse while Vali can't?" Azazel nodded and explained. "Well the thing is that the Red and White dragons are total opposites and will kill you. Canis Lycaon and Incinerate Anthem don't really oppose each other as it was a holy blade before being turned into Shin."

Kurayami looked at it and wiped off the blood. "How do we give it to her?" Azazel explained. "Just leave it with me and we will seal it with her. That girl has crazy potential, but not having a sacred gear is quite a drag. Your entire team minus Kuroka have sacred gears. Just give me some time to ensure there is no rejection."

That was the biggest issue that transferring a sacred gear could result in rejection, but with time and Azazel's smarts, it could be avoided. Kurayami smiled and handed it over. "You better not be take it for yourself." Azazel smiled and showed off his new Dragon Spear. "I am improving at a fast rate. If things go well it will be finished by the end of the year."

Kurayami's eyes dilated looking at the purple gem on it and Azazel shoved the spear back in his jacket. "Nope. I paid some expensive treasure for this and I am not losing this. If our pact is broken I will call you first.' Kurayami frowned and nodded. "Fine. You think Tiamat will accept a pact with me?"

Azazel held his head and nodded. "You got a Nemean Lion, Canis Lycaon, Tyrant who will become a dragon in the future, and an immortal god horse. Now you want two dragon kings. When will it be enough for you?" Kurayami smiled. "I just like having interesting creatures. You think Aurora will be stronger than Regulus in the future?"

Azazel looked at the small lioness who was already different from every other Nemean Lion. "Without a doubt. You already got a few potential Longinus with you." Kurayami decided to return home and face his mothers wrath. "Wish me luck Azazel. Mom will not be happy I ditched her scolding."

Azazel began to pray. "Oh dear father who is dead. I know I was always bad, but have mercy on the soul of this boy. He owes me so much for the food of his pets and if he dies I will get his soul back from where it was and turn him into a sacred gear."

Kurayami frowned and flipped Azazel off. "I'm not going to die, asshole. Last time I helped you. Looks like I am going to get many new pets and they all are going to need plenty of good food. Good thing my backer Azazel will help his best friend." Azazel frowned and squinted his eyes. "You wouldn't dare." Kurayami opened a list with interesting things he wanted.

It reached the floor and he pointed at the first thing. "A Terror Scorpion. I hear they need to eat a lot." Azazel flinched and relented. "Don't get anymore. Just feeling Aurora and Tyrant is expensive as it is. Luckily your horse just munches on grass." Kurayami put his list away and frowned. "Stingy, but fine."

He left Azazel after and went to get Akeno as she could finally get a sacred gear.
