Chapter 83 - Shuri's Decision

As the train was moving through the dimensional gap, they moved at super speeds, but while most people were taking it easy, Akeno and Kurayami were trying not to panic. They just did not know how they were going to tell their mom as she was not like their dad. If anything she was the one in charge of the family and this was terrifying.

Akeno was pacing back and forth and biting her nails, while Kurayami was eating extreme spicy peppers. He got these from Hera's garden as they were peppers that made the Carolina reaper seem like bell peppers. Even he was bright red and felt his mouth was on fire. Artemis looked at him in shock as her brother once pranked her with those peppers and even felt they were too spicy.

"Ok stop." He was about to eat another one, but he looked at Artemis. Kurayami sighed and put away his spicy pepper snack bag. He loved spicy food so much he took a bag of peppers with him to snack on.

Raynare was sitting next to Kurayami and she shook her head.. She stood up and grabbed both sides of his head and looked him in the eyes. She pulled off his sunglasses and kissed his forehead. She did not want to kiss him now as she would suffer from those peppers.

"You will be fine. It is too late to take it back and the longer you hold it off the more stress you will feel. So calm down and just tell her."

He sighed and hugged her tight. "I wish it were that easy, this is my mom we are talking about. Shuri Himejima, the woman who can control this family with an iron fist."

Akeno nodded back like crazy. "Brother is right. Mother is really scary, I don't want to think of what she will do with us when we tell her. She might even curse us with some mother spell."

That caused Kurayami to shive and nearly laugh. It did seem like their mom was the one in charge. Esdeath who was trying to not break out laughing spoke up.

"Well too late now. Who told you two to fall in love with each other? Well, you two wanted this so now you have to earn it." Lavinia nodded with a love-struck look.

"Love, how fickle she is. Even if people tell you it is wrong your love shines through. I am sure mother-in-law will not be mad, 'much'." She mumbled the last bit and that did not make him and Akeno any calmer and much to their plight the train arrived.

It suddenly stopped and on the intercom, a loud voice rang out. "We have arrived. Please make sure you have all your belongings and step outside."

They all began to leave the train and as they were really close to the fallen territory the rest of the trip would be easy. Kurayami sighed and put back his sunglasses and walked out. He opened up a magic circle and called to Grigori. The one who picked up was Armaros the head of anti-magic research of Grigori.

He was an otaku who loved Japanese hero shows and Kurayami hated heroes. A bunch off self-righteous fools they were. So Kurayami's first order as Governor-General would be to forbid him to act like one.

Before Armaros began his roleplay Kurayami shut him up with an order.

"These are the direct orders of Azazel. We have made peace with the devils and are currently at a beginning of an alliance."

Armaros was shocked so he could not even do his roleplay now. "Uhhh, sure."

"I am going to teleport directly to Grigori now. Get ready."

Kurayami pointed his hand at the ground and an infinity sign that no one saw coiled around his palm and he teleported everyone to Grigori himself included. When Rias, Sairaorg, Sona, and their peerages looked around they were impressed.

Armaros ran out to talk to him and when he saw the devils they brought with them he guessed this was Azazel's order. Kurayami looked at one of the more annoying fallen in Grigori, he loved Japanese heroes shows and acted like it. It got annoying, but he was their anti-magic researcher so he was important to Grigori.

He was also a new 12 winged angel so he was stronger now than before. As soon as Azazel made a half step into the superclass they would be the strongest of the three factions if they weren't already with their two super fallen and all their Longinus users.

Armaros has black hair and violet eyes as most fallen. He had a wild beard that made Kurayami interested in growing one as he always shaved. He was wearing armor, an eye patch, and a cape, wielding a shield in his left hand and an ax in his right, with his helm and shield both having a motif of an eagle or a hawk.

"Kurayami, can you please explain better what you mean. I mean you brought devils here and without Azazel, Baraqiel or Azrael. Not that I am saying your wrong, I just need to know."

"Well Armaros, when we were at the devil meeting I, Azazel, and Azrael made a new peace treaty and alliance that will be announced to all the three powers. Heaven was included in the peace treaty and this is just part of it. We will be offering our training to the young devils."

Armaros looked them all over and nodded. "HAHAHA, I the great her-"

"Shut it. No hero roleplay. You know I hate heroes. Now, I am sorry about this, but I will not be training anyone today. It will have to wait as I will be busy." Kurayami once again teleported his wives, Sairaorg, Sona, and Koneko away. He left Rias and the rest of the devils as well.

When they vanished Rias, was gritting her teeth. "That asshole. He took Koneko, Sona, and Sairaorg and left us here."

Armaros looked at the ones that remained. "Well, I have no idea how to deal with this so your training will have to wait until he remains. Until then I guess we will get you student cards."

As for Kurayami and the rest he took them to his house and Sairaorg, Sona and Koneko looked around a bit dizzy as that was the second time they experienced that type of teleporting.

He looked at the three of them and he sighed. "Well, I only took you three as I have a responsibility for my disciple and my sister-in-law. As for you Shirone, I brought you here to meet with my Kuroka."

Koneko slumped and yet she wanted to meet her sister, but Sairaorg looked around and saw his peerage was not with him.

"Sir, what about my peerage? I rather than be with me."

"You don't have to worry, I will be training them as well. They just won't be living here. I and Akeno need to go. We are going to be busy." Akeno nodded and walked next to him and took his arm.

"I am ready big brother."

Sona sighed. "Can you please ask next time. I am sure you have something going on, but just leaving my queen is not a good idea."

Kurayami nodded. "Later today I will go back for them. Just make yourself at home."

Kurayami's girls all waved goodbye and Raynare began to fake crying. "Oh it's so sad, I will be a widow already. There goes the love of my life, don't worry I will reap your souls to eep you two with me forever."

That was a scary thought, but as if they were having fun they kept going.

Esdeath smiled. "What color roses do you two want on your graves? I know you will need it."

Artemis smiled. "You need not worry, when you two are dead I will lift your souls to be a constellation."

Kurayami squinted his eyes. "Well keep laughing." Thye all went in and while Kurayami wanted to go see Kuroka and Natsume first this would be important. He and Akneo avoided everyone like the plague and he looked for his mom. She was on the roof and that was scary.

They both went up until they reached the door to the roof and Kurayami and Akeno looked at each other. She grabbed his hand and they opened the door to the roof. Shuri was sitting on a chair alone and when she heard it open she looked back with no smile or even a mad look. She just looked like she thought long and hard.

Neither Kurayami nor Akeno had any words to say as they kept getting pushed back. Shuri shook her head and they both got quiet as this was serious. It could not just be taken lightly as their father was different from their mother.

"Please come here both of you. Sit down."

They both sat down around the table they had up there when they wanted to sit here and neither Kurayami nor Akeno wanted to look her in the eyes. and kept looking down. Shin ears were drooping as he could feel his master feelings. Shuri looked at the dog and he retreated to Kurayami's shadow.

"Son, please take off your glasses. I need to see your eyes for this."

He reached up and took off his sunglasses slowly as this was not easy for him. When they were off he passed them to her and she sighed. She slumped in her chair and looked at both her children. She still remembers their birth as if it was yesterday and yet this was the hardest she ever wanted to yell at them, but what was the point.

It was too late as both of them had made their minds. "Can both of you please tell me since when you two had this relationship? What brought this about?"

Kurayami was going to speak, but Akeno placed her hand on his chest. He looked at her and she shook her head. "Mother, I think I have been in love with Kurayami since I was just 7. He was like my childhood crush, my best friend, I admired him and yet through the years, it did not go away. The more time went on I knew I was in love."

Shuri did not say a thing and she looked at Kurayami who gave his side. "I would say around the time we were 12, I knew she was special to me. While I would not say I thought about it, I found the thought of Akeno marrying someone else revolting. In time, it just happened."

Shuri got up and she walked up to both of them and they looked down. Shuri hugged both of them and shook her head. "I don't think I will ever be happy with your relationship. It is just not something that I as a parent and human can come to be happy with. However, Akeno, do you truly love Kurayami?"

She nodded. "I do. I can't live without him. My heart would break if something happened to him."

"Kurayami, what about you? Do you really love Akeno?"

"Of course I do. I would do anything to protect her and keep her happy. No matter the code." Shuri looked at both her children and she stood up and sat back down in her chair.

"Well, I do not accept." Both Kurayami and Akeno were going to argue with her, but she raised her hand.

"Let me finish, I do not accept at all. I am really no happy with this, however it reminds me so much of me and Baraqiel. If I forbid you two, I would just have been like my own family. Well, I did marry another species while you two are marrying your sibling is still worse in my book."

Kurayami coughed. "That's fair, even I thought it was a little odd a while ago."

Akeno slumped on his shoulder and hugged his arm. "You don't know how happy I am. Mother, I thought you would have forbidden us to see each other."

Shuri had a blank look on her face as she looked at her daughter hugging Kurayami's arm. That would look so much sweeter if they were not her children. "I am still here."

Akeno looked at her mother and smiled. "I am just hugging my beloved's arm. I do not see how this is odd."

Shuri felt her eye twitch at her shameless daughter. She had not even told them she was going to allow them to remain together and she was already acting smug. She sometimes wondered why all her children were so unique.

"Listen here young lady, I am not going to watch you two flirt in front of me. I still am not ready for this so I am going to go."

She was about to leave, but Kurayami stoped. "Mom, I need to tell you something." Shuri looked at her son a little confused but waited. It seemed like it was important as his face was serious.

"You still have my glasses. I am going to need those back." Shuri's face went blank and she was about to reprimand him, but he stopped her with his next words.

"Mother, I know that calmed you down, but I want to thank you for not trying to separate us. Even if it is too odd, you don't know how important this is to both of us."

"He is right mom, we thank you."

Shuri sighed. "When you put it that way I can't say no. I am going to go, I left Dante with Kuroka who seems to be very close to her breeding season. She seems cattier than usual, be ready Kurayami."

She left then alone and Akeno sighed. "Well, I guess you will be a dad very soon. I wonder what our children will be like."

"Well, I expect them to be strong. Let's go see Kuroka and Natsume shall we."

She nodded and they both went to find Kuroka and Natsume and knowing them they would be in Kurayami's room.
