Akeno was sitting on Kurayami's lap and leaning on his chest while he ran his hand down her silky black hair. She always liked to just take time to relax with him because she could remember his younger days. It worried her that her twin brother looked closer to a living corpse than a person, but time seemed to have helped him.
She always wanted to know the real reason he was born sad, but she did not know how to ask him and decided it may come up someday, but right now she just wanted to spend it with him.
However, when she looked up at him she had to say her brother was a giant. She hoped he did not grow any more or he would just be too tall and lucky for her he did not want to grow either. He was more than happy with his height and would not like to get any taller.
"Hey big brother, are we going to stop hidding our relationship from eveyrone. A lot of them think it is weird I still sleep in your room and the times we are nearly caught. It's like we never hid it, but we never admitted to it."
He thought about it and he nodded..
"I see no reason to hide it, why would I hide the fact that a lovely girl like you is taken. Now that I think about it I still need to get you girls rings though as even I call you my fiance's I never proposed.:
That made her pout.
"You dummy, you need to keep that secret. It should be a surprice for us."
Kurayami shrugged as they were going to be marrying him already, so the ring was just a way to show it. He may need to make unique rings for them all as he knew they all were very different from each other.
Akeno sighed and got off his lap and smiled.
"Well let's go see Kuroka and Natsume. I bet they were dying to see you for these four days."
He nodded and got up. Shin was finally out of his shadow and looked around making sure Shuri was not here. Even Shin knew that Shuri was not to be messed with and more so when she was upset.
They both went back down from the roof and he spread his senses. Kurayami could feel that Kuroka was in his room pacing back and forth while all the girls were in the room trying to get her to calm down. She had not met with her sister yet as she was too nervous and afraid.
Kurayami sighed as he would need to calm her down so she could go see Shirone. They went to his room as fast as he could and when he got outside the door Kuroka's cat eats twitched and she smelled her mate.
Natsume was a fallen, but her sense were not as strong as Kuroka who was an expert as Sengutus. Her power came from Griffon who was a separate Avatar type and harder to master. When Kurayami opened the door Natsume and Kuroka saw him they tackled him.
He caught them in his arms and spun around both girls like they were weightless. Not only was Kuroka very short Natsume was not much taller than her. Kuroka's cat ears were twitching like crazy while her tails wagged happily.
"Nyaa, hubby. I missed you."
Natsume had a big smile on her face and buried her face in the crook of his neck.
"You big dummy, you came back soon, but I was still lonely. I really wish I had gone with you."
Kurayami put down both girls and sat down on his bed.
"I am sorry, but it could have been avoided if two girls had gone with their lover, or am I wrong?"
Both girls looked away as it was true that they could have gone with him, but for reasons they didn't. Now the important thing all the girls looked at Kurayami and Akeno with interesting looks.
They wanted to know how Shuri took it and that made Akeno sigh as lucky for her they got off easy. Raynare sat next to him and patted him on the shoulder. She patted her lap and he laid down on her thighs while she ran her hand through his hair.
"Hey, how did mother in law take it? Did she forbid you, accept or are you going to have to go through hell? I expect she will be punishing you like she does Baraqiel."
Kurayami shivered at the thought and it was not made better that Akeno and his mother looked nearly the same. Only that his mom had yellow eyes and her dressing scheme was different from Akeno. She dressed like a mother while Akeno dressed like Akeno and he could tell at a glance.
As his glasses were off he squinted his eyes at her and sometimes he wondered why these girls all were so sadistic.
"Raynare, you really want me to suffer don't you? I expected that from Akeno or Esdeath, but you? Consider me hurt. Ophis what do you think?"
As for the dragon god she was on a chair snacking on a bad of cookies. While he loved spicy food, she hated it. She loved sweets and he did not have much of a sweet tooth, much to Ophis sadness. She believed his tongue was broken to not like sweets.
When he called for her she looked at him and she tilted her head.
"How can you get hurt?"
Kurayami smiled as he liked Ophis innocent nature. She was educted enouph as he had spent two years teaching her so she was not so innocent. Sadly old habbits die hard and she sometimes forgets like now. She was thiking about this too literlay.
As for Esdeath, she got a light blush and she shook her head.
"I do not seek for you to suffer. Where did you get this foolish idea? I am a very gentle and only tried to chain you up once."
Kurayami's face went blank when he looked at Esdeath with dobt written all over his face.
"Esdeath, that 'one' time as you call it was many times. As for you Akeno, get your mind out of the gutter before I stuff you in a closet for days."
Akeno was daydreaming of having her way with Kurayami, but like a bloodhound he knew how to crush those thoughts from her head. He was no masochist, or so he told himself, but the pain from battle brought him a uphoric feeling and he remebred the time he fought Ladon.
That venon was so painful that he felt like his insides were melting but for a battle junkie like him, it was the thrill of being near death that existed him. He kept telling himself he was not one, but in a way it just ran in the family. He was more like his mother as he was a sadist rather than an outright masochist.
That was the only time he reveled in pain and he hoped his secret was never found out. Now, it was time to get to the important thing.
"Kuroka, I think it's time for you to go see Shirone. I can tell that Nico is showing her everywhere, but I do not think he can tell she is your sister as she does not have cat ears and has white hair."
Kuroka sighed as she was thankful for Nico. He was a great kid and he was like their little brother, so they looked out for him. Kuroka cat eats drooped and her tails began to wag like crazy and she took a deep breath.
Kurayami walked up to her and grabbed her waist and lifted her up and spun her around. She hugged his body and he smiled.
"Come on, where is my Kuroka who was unafraid to become a terrorist all for your sister's sake. You did the best you could and it was all for her, lets go see her."
Lavinia nodded. "Go see her. She knows the truth and that should be a start."
Kuroka closed her eyes when Kurayami kissed her on the forehead and while he was at it and took the tip of her ear and blew on them.
"NYAAA, not the ears."
He smiled and put her down. Raynare looked at that and smiled.
"I do got to say, you can be pretty kind. Hard to believe the first time we met you were more depressed than anyone. It was like you had no drive to live, but that all changed. What was it that helped you so much?"
He looked over and her and as he was not wearing his sunglasses looked her in the eyes.
"Are you seriously asking me that right now? It was you stupid."
Raynare's mind froze and she blinked a few times as it was surprising. The girls all knew that Raynare was very special to Kurayami and even though he loved them all equally Raynare was still his first love.
That would always be important to Kurayam because his parents showed him that the world was not black and white and Raynare was the first person in his two lives that took time to get to know him.
Raynare got up and ran to him and hugged him as tight as she could. Akeno squinted her eyes at that, but it was all true that Raynare would always be the first one. No matter what and that irked Akeno. Raynare pushed him off and smiled.
"Go already, you are making me embarrassed. Girls, we are going to leave this to Kuroka and Shirone, and knowing you Kurayami I do not doubt she will fall for you."
Kuroka squinted her eyes at Kurayami and he looked at her oddly.
"What? Not my fault I am irresistible and she may not even fall for me. Not like I am the only guy out there.
Akeno shook her head. "Brother, you are the definition of the ideal mate for a Yokai and more importantly Shirone is young and you left an impression on her young heart. Just keep that in mind."
Kuroka did not really mind if she and her sister would share the same mate. The Nekusho were almost extinct and if Kurayami was her sister's husband it would make the future of the race even more impressive.
Kuroka sighed. "Whatever you do, just don't break her heart."
"Why would I do that? Not like I am out to get her, but we will see where things go. Anyway, let's go."
She nodded and they both left the room to find Nico and Shirone. Nico had a unique aura and he was very easy to find. He was in the living room with Tobio, Sairaorg, Kouki, Toga, Annabeth, and Sona.
Kurayami placed his hand on Kuroka's shoulder and teleported down to the first floor and she went to go see her sister.
When they got their Tobio was telling them the story of how he lost Shin and got the Boosted Gear. He had not told Nico yet, but he found it a good story to tell him and the more Nico heard the more he wanted to not laugh.
"Kurayami played you like a fiddle."
Tobio got bright red and looked at him. "Hey, I was new to the supernatural and Kurayami is an expert con man. I thought I could go back to my normal life, but now I know he never was going to let me go."
Annabeth looked at him and nodded. "Knowing the big guy it sounds like him. You are a rare talent and Kurayami cared a lot about Grigori, so that might be the reason he did that, but hey look on the bright side. You are way stronger now."
Sairaorg looked at Tobio and he saw a bit of the resembles Kurayami. "So you are related to the master?"
Tobio nodded. "He is my cousin. Even if he did take my Loginous he did replace it, but I still regret it. My grandmother had a lot of hope for me, but I just gave it away, but Shin is better of with Kurayami than anyone."
"You got that right." They all looked at Kurayami who was with Shin and Kuroka. When Koneko saw Kuroka she did not know what to say. The sister who she thought abandoned her to die was right in front of her.
However, knowing what Kuroka went through for her sake made things harder for her.
"Shirone, you might have several questions. If you hate me I can understand that, but do you know the whole story?"
Everyone who was there left and before he left Sairaorg bowed as a form of respect. Nico waved and everyone left and now it was just Kurayami, Koneko, Kuroka, and Shin.
Kuroka sat down on the couch and Koneko sat across from her. She needed to know the truth from her sister's own mouth She needed to know.
