*Underworld*

*Sunday*

*Am/Pm*

Saji's heart trembled slightly as a being appeared on it."....you..."He croaked out in sadness and depression.

Infront of him appeared a confused Sona, she looked around in surprise seeing everyone, she saw a man lying on the ground that looked oddly familiar, but it couldn't possibly be.

."Haile, what is going on, did something happened, who is that person over there?."Sona asked calmly as she analyze the area realizing a battle had gone down just recently.

Haile motioned to Saji."You should have some inkling as to who that person is, I've called you to deal with this problem, so your mind could be at ease."He said to her as he looked at Saji.

."....Saji....?"Sona muttered in shock, she looked to the person, he looked older, his hair was longer and tattoos was on his face, how can this person be Saji, he changed so much in such little time.

Saji clenched his fist and his heart clenched along with it, he gazed at Sona longingly, he sighed."...it is as I thought...I still have yet to get over you....no matter..how hard I try...you just never disappear from my mind..because of that....I hate you most of all....you played with my feelings...but choose his instead...we could have been...happy..."He said softly with a heartbroken voice as a tear came down his left eye.

Sona frowned annoyed at him."How is it my fault that you fell in love with me, this is all you, you betrayed me and now come back to take revenge, for something that is all your fault, have you no shame, I do not love you and I would never."She said with disgust as she pushed up her glasses.

'Crack'

Saji's heart Shattered like glass as she spoke those words, his last bit of hope that maybe he still had a chance was blown out by the wind, his head drupped down as the tears flowed, he felt bitter in his heart.

Odin shook his head in pity."Young love, very dangerous, just because you love someone, you shouldn't expect them to love you back because of it."He said with a sigh as he reminisced on the ancient past in his younger years.

Sirzechs also felt his heart tremble a bit as in his mind flashed someone, he sighed slightly shaking his head.

Saji clenched his fist as tears ran down."You are heartless...I loved you...more than anything..."He said as he dug his fingers into the dirt, his eye flashed black and red, the same color aura covering his body.

."Uh oh, seems like some trouble coming our way."Azazel said casually as he smiled looking at Saji, he could feel the boys power climbing like it was never going to stop.

Odin was confused looking at it but gained a surprise expression."He has the Evil Black Dragon King Vritra, that means he could be absorbing his very own Life-Span to fuel his power, he's a devil...we might have a problem on our hands."He said calmly as he looked at Saji getting up.

Saji looked to the sky that turned dark and started to form black clouds like the end of the world."If I...can't have you....then neither can HE!!!!."He screamed as he wave his hand recklessly.

*Whoooshh*!!!

His single casual wave created a strong wind pressure that carried a malevolent wavelength to it essence, he was truly demon like.

.""Woah"".

Rossweisse and Shemhazai had to put up there hand to defend from the wind pressure, they were completely stunned, but they heard what Lord Odin said so it wasn't to shocking but it was definitely unfair.

."Mmm he is definitely up to no good, but he is so sad like a abandoned puppy, should i maybe put him out his misery?."Serafall said with a tilt of her head putting her finger on her lips.

Sona stepped forward seriously."No, I will take care of this, as of now he is a stray devil as he still has my evil piece within him, as his master, I will end him."She said walking to him as she pushed up her glasses.

Saji hearing her got even more enraged, he felt like he was going insane."You, I will grind you to nothing, you want to be with Haile huh, I will send him to you afterwards!."He said, he took up his great sword, holding it he rushed toward Sona, he jumped into the air and brought down his full might on her.

*Whooshh*!!!

*Clank*!!!

Sona casually raised her hand blocking the sword with her palm as if a gentle wind blowing on it, her hand didn't budge even slightly, but under her the ground cracked till she was standing in a small crater.

.""WOAH; sona is really strong!.""

Serafall looking on yelled happily as she danced around Haile and the others.

*Tin*!!!

Sona pushed back Saji as the sword grazed against her ring creating a metallic sound that echoed the easy suppression of the "all powerful" Demon King.

."How can this be, even you, what is going on, is this a dream, no, a nightmare, this can't be, I am a God, stronger than the world has ever seen, conqueror of worlds!!!!."Saji said with crazy eyes as he held his head in pain, his eyes turning bloodshocked as blood ran from his eye.

Sona look confused by this, she looked back at the others."What is happening to him, blood is coming from his eyes and stuff."She asked them, the battle hasn't even started yet.

."His body is unfortunately almost at it's limits already and he is actually pushing it, as you can see his body is already beginning to break down and self-destruction from the inside out, this is the price to pay for exchanging his lifespan for power."Odin said shaking his head, such a pitiful boy, the gravitational pull of the ass was to strong for him to bare.

Ajuka scratched his head slightly."But, something isn't right, the lifespan of a devil is greater than this, the amount of power he should have gained to exhaust his life should have reached Peak True Leader Class least, our devils Peak Satan Class equivalent Maybe a backlash or something?."He said confused.

Everyone thought about it, it was indeed strange, Ajuka rubbed his chin."Maybe his life span was already exhausted already, probably used this move before and only have a short amount remaining, meaning he will also die soon."He said calmly.

Sona frowned, she looked at Saji, she clenched her fist and gathered power on it, she wanted to be the one that ended him, she stepped forward and stop, she hesitated for a moment.

Saji's knees felt weak as his body felt cold and hot as he was sweating."This is not the end for me, hehehe this is not the end, I will return, and when I do I will kill you, DIVINE MATRIX, TAKE ME BACK!!!."He shouted into the sky.

*FhhHhhhhh*!!!!

A bright purple flame flared below Saji's feet as a portal form, Saji glanced once more at Sona and jumped backwards and through the portal, it closed behind him.

Haile raised his hand but paused and took it down, this could be an interesting development, especially in that world.'That "girl" is also still alive and well, leading the survivors, maybe I should send her a Divine Vision once again.'He thought as he stared into space, his eyes flashed.

."You really should have killed him fast, now he is a bigger threat, with his power if he realizes he could maybe learn to harness the lifespan of others and regained his own and more, adding to his already great power."Odin said casually as he stroked his beard, it will not be his headache so he isn't bothered.

Sona sighed as she walked over to Haile."I'm sorry Haile, it's my fault, I should have ended it sooner but I hesitated and he got away."She said as she looked at the ground.

."Nah It's alright Sona, I understand your troubles, even though to him it was a long time in his development but to you it was only a few days, he was just apart of your family, it would be strange if you could kill him so easily."Haile said gently as he pat her shoulder.

Sona nodded as she stood in silence.'*Sigh* Saji, what did you do'.'

."Now that that's finished for now, let head back, after that little exercise I want a feast, Sirzechs have the maids at your house prepare one for us."Haile said casually as he walked away headed towards the house.

Everyone followed along behind him, Odin stroke his beard as he relaxed, Rossweisse watched Haile out the corner of her eyes in curiosity, Sona walked in deep thought, Serafall just cheerfully dance along as she walked, Azazel just stroll nonchalantly, Shemhazai just like Azazel, Ball bastard Falbium he was almost asleep.

Sirzechs sighed shaking his head."Sure thing, but, why are we walking again?."He asked as he walked along casually as well, it wasn't a bit deal, though he didn't walk far in a long time.

."No reason specifically, I just wanted to enjoy your world, the underworld, a world that could have been ruled by you and you alone, unfortunately, your time has passed for that, a new ruler will take your place in the future, someone that can raise it to new heights."Haile said calmly looking around and into the distance, he smiled slightly.

Everyone gave him a surprise glance, Sirzechs raised an eyebrow."Are you planing to kill me or something?."He asked him, that was how it was sounding.

."No no, that would make my Rias sad, can't have that, no this person will take over this underworld soundly, and I mean all of it, even from the Gods that live here, Hades."Haile said with a savage smile as he walked forward.

Sirzechs frowned."Why does it sound like you're talking about someone specific, who is this person you are so confident in."He ask curiously and in some doubt.

."Of course I'm talking about my only student, Gasper, he is inheriting my sagely words of wisdom, he doesn't know what I have planned for him, but when I am done, he will be the greatest monster this universe has ever and will ever see."Haile said as he clenched his fist, he is not just telling him those sagely wisdom just for the sake of it, there is a reason.

Most of them didn't know who that was but for the ones, Sirzechs was surprised, that was unexpected, but he did hear Haile was giving him teaching, Azazel just smiled, oh he knows that brat will be an unparalleled bastard-*ahem* monster.

."*Sigh* the future is so intriguing."Haile said with a smile as he looked towards a certain direction to the mountains and smiled wider.

~~

Over on a small broken mountain, the wind was cool and nice, the smell of rock and trees permeated the air, enjoying all this were four very familiar people, a blonde man with Blue eyes carrying a holy sword, Arthur Pendragon, over on the other side was Bikou who was sitting on the ground casually over looking the place, on a rock platform was Vali with a disappointed look on his face, then on the highest rock Platform was Kuroka, she was sitting with a blush on her face as Haile's face kepted on flashing through her mind nonstop and she didn't want it to stop.

."So we were never able to get Fenrir, to bad, that is all I wanted from him."Vali said with disappointment as he looked at the others.

Bikou shrugged."Well we all had our hands full, we even met the High God again but this time on bad terms with each other and let's just say, he crushed us soundly hahaha."He said with a chuckle, but it was fun, he enjoyed himself alot, especially that maid, he would like to fight her again, maybe some training first though.

."Yeah, that is to be expected, that man is a monster beyond all monsters, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he could rival even the likes of the Dragon Gods."Vali said clenching his fist in excitement, he thought about how closed Haile was to Ophis, there must be a reason for that, he is probably her mate or something along that lines, so those rumors may actually be true to a certain degree.

Kuroka looked back at them."Lord Haile is beyond any mere Dragon God, how could you even say that with a straight face."She said with disgust; obsession and infatuation flashed in her eyes, from the very first time she learnt of him from the other girls she couldn't stop her curiosity, it was just to good to be true.

She searched and searched to see if he was a real person, she watched the statutes of him for months on end but the more she looked on the more unrealistic it looked, but she began to become more obsessed with finding out, then she realized since he was a God, that means he would receive faith energy and might be able to hear her, then she did it, she prayed to him.

That's when it happened, she was suddenly dragged and caught in this white space and infront of her was HIM, THE GOD, she fell to her knees as she gazed upon him, her obsession, he was so beautiful, the statutes didn't give justice they made him look ugly in comparison, he looked at her with such warm and comforting eyes that her heart skipped a beat.

She opened her mouth to say something but before she could speak her soul left the space and she returned to her body, she was shocked and scared as she lost that comforting light that made her feel so safe, a safety she never encountered in her life, all her life she was the comfort and light of someone else but now that she felt how it felt she didn't want to lose it.

In desperation she tried and tried again praying to him but nothing happened, she fell into a despairing depression for several days before she made up her mind to find him on her own and thus she searched to this day.

But who would have thought that when she found him, instead of that warmth, she was greeted with a palm because she was his enemy, she couldn't believe it, life is just to unfair to her, then she also found out her beloved sister is also close to that man, she couldn't help but feel slightly jealous, then she remembered all the rumors, with him and Ophis, she couldn't help but feel insecure.

.'*Sigh* was it always this difficult to find happiness for a woman.'Kuroka sighed as she dazed off again.

Everyone looked at her strangely, but they tactfully ignored her, they knew how bad those fanatics of Haile could get, some poor unfortunately jealous fellows already set the boundary for them.

."Anyway, let's go."Vali said as he stood up.

.""Yes"".

~~~~Next Day~~

*Dxd World*

*Underworld*

*Monday*

*Am/Pm*

*Extremely Early*

In the Grimory mansion in Haile's room he and his two beautiful Goddesses Akeno and Rias layed with him, but this time not just them, lying on his chest was a sleeping Koneko who had her ears and tails out.

Haile layed looking to the cealing, he was already awake for quite awhile, just he was letting the others sleep in, he glanced at the door every so often.

.'What is with her, coming to my door then running away to then come back, if you remain hesitant then you will lose your chance.'Haile thought as he manually pumped the blood through his arms.

Outside Haile's door was a certain someone, she was pacing up and down the corridor passing by Haile door, the person was Venelana, she had a nervous and scared look on her face, she was sweating bullets of sweat from fright, she stretched out her trembling hand toward Haile door noob but stopped.

.'What am I doing, I can't do this, I'm married, but-but, it's not my fault, this was not my choice to be married, why can't I find happiness as well.'Venelana thought as she was fighting a vicious battle with herself, she didn't know what to do, even if she didn't love her husband it doesn't mean that she should betray him.

Venelana was really struggling, her stomach started to feel upset from the fear of uncertainty, first of all what if Haile doesn't accept her advances and instead goes and consult her husband then she would lose everything, maybe even her life.

.'What do I do, what do I do, please anyone give me a sign!.'Venelana screamed in her mind as she rubbed her sweaty hands together, she turn around and wanted to walk away.

*Sqeak*!

Like a deer in headlights venelana stiffen up as she heard the door open behind her, she stiffly turned her head around but was then confused.'Huh, no one?.'She thought, she turn around fully and tiptoed towards the door, it opened on its own.

She looked at it with hesitants, she looked up and down the corridor and steeled herself, this was her sign, she forced herself and went in softly closing the door behind herself so no one else grew suspicious.

From the time Venelana passed through the door she instantly felt a sense of relief as if a mountain was taken of her shoulders, she doesn't know what it was but her fear and discomfort disappeared in a snap, she looked deeper into the bed room and saw the bed.

She walked closer going towards the bed, she quickly arrived and was hit with a slight guilt, on the bed sleeping, Akeno, Koneko and her own daughter, she felt guilty by this, trying to get with her daughters boyfriend, she was a horrible mother, she doesn't deserve happiness.

.'Hmm, where is Haile?.'She thought confused as she didn't see Haile in bed, she looked to the bathroom but it was open and no one was inside, but she still started walking towards it.

She peeked her head into the bathroom and walked inside when she saw no one, it was big so someone could be inside without notice, she looked around.

*Sqeak*

*Bap*

Venelana turned around like lightning, the door closed on her, she ran to the door in fear, she pulled on it and her heart dropped, it wasn't opening.

.'Oh no!!!'.

In the bedroom on the bed, Koneko who was sleeping cracked open an eye as she looked to the bathroom, but she didn't pay it mind, she closed it back and fell asleep again.

In the bathroom Venelana was terrified, she instantly passed through several dozen scenarios, she wondered how she would explain herself to her daughter.

As Venelana was in thought she froze up again as her body turn completely stiff, she looked down and saw a hand, it felt warm, but that was not her hand."Kya-om!."She tried to scream but the person put there hand over her mouth, almost like she forgot she had powers she was terrified.

.""Sh sh it's ok Venelana, it's just me"".

Venelana heard the voice and melted like butter her heart and body unfroze immediately, her body relaxed as the fear disappeared, even though his hand was still on her mouth.

Haile release her and stepped back slightly."Venelana, I must say I didn't expect this at all, you were the least of my expectations to come here."He said with a slight chuckle.

."N-no don't mis-misunderstand, I-um I got lost and, I was looking for a bathroom half asleep!."Venelana said hurriedly as she was embarrassed, looking for a man that was probably a thousand years her junior.

Haile smiled gently."No need to be embarrassed, it is completely normal, I understand your circumstances, the devil race is a cruel race to women, you don't even have the right to choose whom you love, unless you powerful."He said softly and comforting as he came closer to her but he didn't touch her, he stood at her side and looked in the same direction leaning on the sink.

."I don't know what you mean."Venelana said nervously as she looked away and played with her fingers.

Haile chuckled again."Come on, we are all adults here, you came all this way to make love with me, so why pretended now, it would just make you look disingenuous."He said with a shake of his head.

."I-....I do-don't know if I should do this, I don't feel right...no I do feel right but, i-i- I don't know."She said confusing herself as she lowered her head.

Haile looked at her."No I know, even though you want to find, happiness, you don't want to jeopardize everything you have built over your lifetime, selflessly,."He said to her slowly as he touched her hand gently and slowly placed it on his own.

."Yes, I am just an old woman now to you, I don't think I should just bore myself into your life, me and my husband also been together for over a thousand years, even without love there is still affection, my daughter is your boyfriend also, I just feel like I'm betraying everyone at once."Venelana sighed as she spoke, she squeezed his hand gently as the warmth passing through touched her heart.

Haile rubbed the top of her hand gently."But, there comes a time when you must prioritize yourself, do you want to risk having a mental breakdown holding all this within yourself, why not let me help you, just for today, do you know how much my heart aches seeing you like this, hurting, silently for the sake of everyone else."He said, he kissed her hand as he rubbed his lips across it.

.'He really does understand me.'Venelana thought as her face shaded pink hue as she felt his warm breath on her hand, it tickled her lower region as she got moisted.

Haile kissed her hand going up her arm to her joints and back down, he wasn't in a hurry, not for a beautiful specimen like this, a mature frustrated woman who doesn't love no other but her children, now thirsty for a love that is her own.

."~AhhMnN Haile, please; tell me what, just what should do, I'm lost~."Venelana said with watery eyes as she moaned as a pleasant feeling electrified her insides.

Haile smiled gently, he was using his pleasurable touch, his Supreme technique."Nothing, you don't have to do anything, let me handle the responsibility, no matter what happens, I will deal with it, now, let me eat you up."He said whispering into her ears those comforting words, his voice carried a charming, charismatic expression, mixed with his pleasurable touch it created a new world.

.'He...is willing to do all that...for me?.'Venelana felt her heart warm as she sunk more into his embrace, she felt like she could just surrender everything to him.

Haile took her lessening resistance as surrender, he leaned in and took her lips with his own as he hugged her waist tightly in his large arms.

.""~MmMNnN~"".
