Chapter 82 - Trip Home.

A few hours later they were just sitting around to spend the time. They all had rings like Kurayami, making their lives a whole lot easier to store luggage and other things away. Although it was still not as good as Ophis's ability to just change the shape of her clothes.

The train was leaving in an hour so it was good they had spacial rings to deal with all that. It made life a whole lot easier, but Ophis just needed to change the shape of her outfit if she got bored of it which she would not.

She really liked that outfit, so it was the only one she wore. She also knew that Kurayam also liked it, but it was a normal dress. She did not want to show the whole world her cleavage any more thanks to Kurayami teaching her.

Esdeath was sitting on the bed and looked at Kurayami. "Hey Kurayami, will the Abyss Dogs be coming with us? You are their master after all."

Kurayami nodded.. "Yup. It has been a while since I saw them and I plan to put them through hell."

Raynare smiled as Kurayami had a few things he really enjoyed. His girls, training, fighting, spicy food, his pets, and training people. Call it his sadism seeping through, but he loved to put others through Spartan training. Speaking of Spartans he just got an idea.

They all looked as his eyes and face looked like he got a good idea, When Kurayami got motivated to do something almost nothing would stop him so they were interested in what it was. Kurayami noticed they were looking at him oddly and he looked up.

"What?"

Artemis shook her head. "Your scheming something. Out with it before you wipe out a whole country."

He pointed at himself. "Me? Scheme. Have I ever done anything like stooping to scheming?"

She rolled her eyes and nodded. "Yes, how do you think you got Shin, Aurora, Backbiter which you might have forgotten about, and let's not forget all the golden apples from Heras tree." The girls all looked at him funny and Akeno was full-on giggling.

They all looked at the bear-sized dog who only belonged to Kurayami because he scammed Tobio out of him. Kurayami never planned to let Tobio leave Grigori, so he tricked him by having Azrael turn him. It worked out in the end, but all things considered, Kurayami gambled with Tobio's life for his own benefit.

Not like Kurayami cared as he got one of his most prized pets and powers. Shin may be a sacred gear, but Kurayami considered him more like a pet than a weapon. Akeno looked at her brother and realized that as the years passed he seemed more alive.

If it was years ago she would have never imagined her brother joking around. He used to be depressed and had a dead look in his eyes. Now his eyes were still not normal, but they had a luster of the living. "Brother, you are joking around now?"

He froze and smiled. His violet eyes glowed a bit as he did. "Well, I stopped being so depressed. Now, I got too much to be depressed. So are we all ready to go?"

They all nodded. Raynare looked at him and smiled. "So, will you say bye to Serafall? I can tell you actually enjoyed your time with her."

Kurayami nodded. "It is bad to just disappear like that, so I will have to say goodbye. Unless we all want to be forced to watch the entire magical girl show." They all shook their heads madly as they did not want to see that again.

"Before we go, let's see this big bad weapon of Kronos shall we." The girls all looked over and as he took out Backbiter. The sword looked like a mix of steel and bronze, but black. It was quite pretty, but it gave off a dark aura. Kurayami felt Azazel could make it better, but was it worth it.

Raynare walked over as she was interested and he handed it to her. She swung it a few times and she shook her head.

"It's good, but I think our weapons are better. Don't tell Azazel or it will inflate his ego."

Artemis smiled. "Does not seem like much as is. In the hands of Kronos himself. This can cut the soul itself. Apparently, it could sever the soul of a person from just a touch."

Kurayami still believed his own sword was many times better. "Master, can you place the sword on my blade? I think I can use it to allow you to use the power of Kronos to a small degree."

He thought it was a good idea as even a fraction of Krono's powers would be good to his powers. He brought out his sword and held the blade horizontally and placed Backbiter on the flat of the sword. The girls all looked at that odd, but the next thing they knew Backbiter was melting and being absorbed by Rebellion.

In just a minute the entire sword was gone and Rebellion did not look much different. Her blade only looked a bit shinier. He waited a bit and was confused.

"Rebellion? You ok?"

"Uhh, master. This may take a while to fully digest. Just give me about a month. I need to sleep, you can still call on me normally, but I won't be able to talk to you. I am sorry my lord." She passed out right after and little did he know that this act just gave Kronos a huge backlash as his symbol of power was devoured.

He was not dead, but even if he recovers he would be weaponless. Artemis looked at that with interest and expected a power-up, but Kurayami's next words made them feel it was anti-climatic.

"Well, she said it will take a while. Well, now that is over let's go. We don't want to miss out on the train." They all left the room to head towards the train station which to them it was not far. When they got outside they just spread their wings and flew there. Artemis could not fly, but she flew on Shin who could.

When they got there they saw the Abyss Dogs, Rias, and her small peerage. Sona with Subaki and Sairaorg called his peerage, so they teleported here. Kurayami looked at Regulus with interest as he wanted to talk it to him, but he focused on what was important.

Koneko who he preferred to call Shirona. It was a very pretty name and he found it a shame to have her throw her name away. He walked up to her and kneeled in front of her. He was wearing his sunglass, so he could keep his power a secret.

She wanted to swat his hand away, but Kurayami was just like catnip for her. She became a mellow bunny in his hands, so she kept quiet. Kurayami smiled and made a funny request.

"Hey, can you do me a favor?" Koneko thought about it and nodded.

"Can you show me your cat ears?" She shook her head and he suddenly on instinct moved his hand behind his head to catch Rias's hand. She tried to smack him to get him away from Konek.

He stood up and lifted Rias by her hand. She was worried as she already got slapped by him and she did not want more. "Well, well, seems I will need to put you through even worse training than I thought. I am sure a time with Ladon will work and I do mean the evil dragon Ladon."

Rias started to sweat like crazy as evil dragons are feared by everyone. "Yoru bluffing. They are all dead."

Clarrise had removed her helmet and she sighed. "Hey, stupid girl. Stop taunting him before he has you train with all his pets. You won't like it. Even my dad can't defeat him what makes you think he would bluff."

He put Rias down and without looking back he smiled. "Jaime."

Jaime stepped forward at blinding speed that made Kiba look like a snail's pace. Kiba who saw that was wanted to start training already as he had a mission to complete. If training at Grigori will get him that he was more than ready.

"Jaime, tell me how strong Ladon is?"

"Boss, Ladon can fight most gods and even Zeus would struggle to get past his barriers. That was before he became your familiar and I guess most gods would not be his match."

"Thank you, Jaime. Now Rias, if you keep tempting me I will have you spend that time with Ladon as you heard not even gods could fight that guy. What makes you think you will."

She was terrified as Evil dragons were no joke. Kurayami was not joking as he planned to use Ladon to get them to train hard. Kurayami looked at Sairaorg's peerage and all of them were devils that even the underworld did not respect.

"Sairaorg, this is your entire peerage?"

"Yes sir. They were all devils that were shunned by the underworld, so I took them in."

Kurayami sighed as he still planned to have Sairaorg become a devil king as he believed he would be better.

"I will get to know you all soon as you will either die or fly. I do hope it is the latter as my training is never nice. Just ask them." He pointed at Jannice, Clarise, Jaime, Jack, and James. They all nodded as it was true they believed they would die.

Kurayami began to go on the train and looked back. "I hope you are ready." They all shivered as he even met the Abyss Dogs. Kurayami and the girls all went to their private train car and he sat down in one of the seats. The girls all sat down as well, but Kurayami was in a good mood.

He pulled out a notebook and began to write down the training he had planned out. He wrote Rias' name and planned to have her run through the mountains being chased by Castiel. What better way to train a devil than a holy creature.

They still had about 20 minutes before they took off, but he put away his notebook. "I will be back." As he was writing in his notebook and forgot to do what he said he would do. Serafall burst through the door and she looked mad.

Kurayami nearly face-palmed as he had said he would say goodbye and he got caught up in the moment. Raynare shook her head as she had even told him and he still forgot.

"Hey, were you just going to leave without saying goodbye. That is so cruel." He dropped his notebook and he thought about how he could salvage his reputation. He got an idea and he grinned.

"I was, but then I got distracted with planning the training of Sona. I plan to get her strong enough to make you proud, don't you want your little Sona to be strong. It takes time to make a good training plan."

Akeno covered her mouth to not laugh, as Kurayami knew that using Sona would work. Serafall thought it over and smiled.

"That is a good excuse, although it does not mean I am happy." She got bright red and looked away and mumbled quietly. "After what we did that night, you were going to leave."

He got up and walked up to her. He hugged her from behind and he sighed. "I am sorry alright, a lot of things are on my mind and they slip especially when it comes to making a detailed training plan. They only stay at Grigori for a month or two, so I need to maximize their growth."

Serafall suddenly was shocked. "Wait, 2 mouths without Sona. I can't do it."

"No exceptions, you will spoil her." She looked up at him with a look that was really adorable, but no one would stop him once he was determined.

"You will be fine and so will she. I bet she will be happy to get stronger. Besides your 300 years old what it just 2 months."

The girls all looked away as she just called her old. Serafall got ice cold and she looked at him funny. "Did you just call me old?"

"No, I just called you 300. All things considered, that is quite young as Azazel and Azrael are way older than you."

She sighed and she looked up. "Are you just going to stand up there are you going to give me a kiss?"

"Of course." He kneeled down as she was short. That was not even talking about Kuroka who he dwarfed with over a foot in height. He kissed her and smiled.

"Sona will be fine." Serafall nodded and left. Kurayami sighed as he only knew her for a few days, but he liked her.

He sat down and Akeno hugged him. "You really like her don't you?"

He nodded. "She is quite the interesting woman, but all of you are just as interested in your own ways. Now the scary part, talking to mom." Akeno coughed and she looked away.

"Well, this is going to get awkward. I hope she takes it well." The train started and began its trip towards the Fallen Territory. Kurayami sighed as he was not really confident in talking to his mother about this, but no better time than when they got home. He would have to get ready for the girl's dates and his trip to Tokyo for that Festival.

Kurayami was always busy, but it was not bad. He smiled as he looked at the girls and wanted to get home faster as he missed Natsume and Kuroka.
