Rise Of The Fallen

She yelped but it was quickly muffled. He put index finger near his mouth with his free hand and pressed slightly his forearm, signaling that if she scream he would crush her throat. Her frightened look slowly turn into serious and she slowly nodded her head. He reached his free hand and silently closed the door.

'So I'm in the Devil's teritory huh?...' he thought while examining the girl in front oh him. In his opinion, she is beautiful girl with good body, but what caught his interest is not her appearance but something else about her. 'I feel that she is a half Devil but the second half feel more like Angel but not exactly... And what's going on with her clothes? New fashion for Devils? Truly, strange and interesting...' he lost in thought while looking at her who wore her school uniform. For Akeno thought, it's looked like he was looking at her body which disgusted her but she started to fear that he will do something to her. She looked at him and tried to ask.

Akeno: W-what do you want from me?

She asked with difficulty because of arm on her throat. But the ŀustful look she expected to receive never come. Instead he responded with surprised expression and slightly tilted head. His eyes were totally clueless. '... I don't understand what is she talking! No way.. There shouldn't be language I don't know!! Are Devils developed new language to communicate? Damn it! Now I can't even properly learn about my situation... Maybe she will understand me?' again lost in his thoughts, he didn't notice Akeno looking into his emerald eyes absent-minded. Now that she looked clearly at him, she noticed how handsome he was. His body built, his deep black hairs, his shiny emerald eyes. She was mesmerized by his appearance. She faintly blushed and shook her head. 'What am I thinking about?! I have to inform others quickly!'.

Her sudden movement snatched him from his thoughts. He slightly increased pressure on her throat in warning manner. She looked at him and saw his lips moving.

Razjeel: Do you understand me? Nod if you do.

She nodded in response. 'Good, it seems that she understand me. Let's go with next question' he thought satisfied with her answer.

Razjeel: Okay, now, are we in the Devils territory?

Razjeel: *Sigh* shit... Are there other Devils nearby?

He cursed at his bad luck quietly. Hearing his question Akeno hesitated and started to think quickly about answer. If she confirmed, he might use her as the hostage and hurt others. If she denied, he may kill her right now or even r*** her. Seeing her hesitant he made small, green flame on his hand and put his hand near her face. Despite small size, the heat flame was emitting was unbearable.

Razjeel: Don't try to l- Ugh!

He tried to threat her but in mid sentence he felt powerful pain in his head. His eyes lost focus and he loosen grab on her. Akeno used this and made Magic Circle to send yellow lightning at him. Still in pain, he dodged to the side but can't do nothing more in his state. Akeno used this opportunity and shouted.

Akeno: Rias!! He broke free!!

Razjeel: Tsk! Ugh!!

Ulthough he couldn't understand her, he doesn't have to be genius to guess why is he yelling. He clicked his tongue in annoyance but again clutched his head in pain. Suddenly, doors were kicked open and five Devils ran inside the room.

Rias: Akeno are you all right?? What happened??

Rias, quickly approached Akeno and checked her condition. She looked at Razjeel and ordered her servants.

The mentioned two moved with high speed toward their target. Unfortunately for them, Razjeel's headaches started to got weaker. Yuuto performed slash aimed at his target's head with dull side of the blade which he summoned earlier. After him Koneko performed half-spin kick at Razjeel's stomach. Razjeel bent his knees slightly, he felt blade passing above his head almost cutting his hairs. Koneko hit him on the stomach, well she thought she did. To her surprise, he grab her by ankle, made a quick spin and throw her at Yuuto.

Issei: Koneko!

Yuuto seeing his teammate thrown at him, he panicked and decided to dodge her. After he sidestepped, Koneko flew past him. Yuuto looked behind to see if she is allright and he was relieved when he saw her hit the sofa. To Koneko's confusion, she didn't felt any pain, even more, she felt like he was trying to be gentle.

Yuuto turned his attention back to Razjeel only to found him just in front of him. Blonde haired teen flinched and tried this time to slash him across his ċhėst with sharp side of blade. Razjeel frowned. He shortened the distance between them, because of that Yuuto tried to increase the gap between them which made his attack much slower. Razjeel sidestepped to his left, he grabbed Yuuto's shoulder knocking him out of balance and bend him backward, then, he sent powerful knee using his left leg.

Yuuto: GAH!!

Kick was strong enough to knock the air out of him. Razjeel let go of his shoulder and kick him on the calf sending his lower body in the air and send front kick on his side, making him crash on the armchair. All this happened in mere three seconds!!

'... Well, I was prepared for something... More challenging? I guess I have to end this quick... But how to make them listening to me?'

Issei: YOU BASTARD! YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO KONEKO!!

Rias: Issei stop!!

'Ouu... I guess this will do'. He saw Issei charging on him with his arm wrapped in strange red gauntlet, in position to make straight punch.

Issei: *Boost!* Get rea- UCK!

He tried to shout something but Razjeel just shook his head and grabbed him by his throat, lifting him in the air. 'I can't believe... That was.. pathetic... What's with these Devils??? Am I in nursery for retarded Devils??' he didn't notice that he grabbed him little to tight for to long and Issei started to changing colors on his face.

Rias/Akeno/Asia: Issei!

'Oops.. I overdo' he loosened the grip on his throat and Issei fell on the ground clutching his throat gaspin for air. Rias and Akeno prepared their Magic to attack but they saw something they didn't expect. 'Eeh???' both thought in the same time. What made them so puzzled is Razjeel who raised his hands in surrender manner.

Razjeel: ... Let's... Talk

He said in broken Japanese. Rias was surprised, honestly, she never thought he will surrender on his own. She looked around and saw Koneko walking towards her with Yuuto leaning on her to support him. He can bȧrėly breath after those two powerful kicks, especially the one on his side. White haired girl looked Rias and said something in low voice.

Koneko: President. I think we should talk to him.

Rias: What?! Why??

Koneko: You didn't notice but, when we were fighting him, he didn't fight to hurt us or to kill... Right there he could throw me at the wall or slam me on the floor but he throw me on sofa. He didn't even throw with that much force as it looked like.

Rias was surprised at both what Koneko said about what that man did and even more surprised about the length of Koneko's speech. It wasn't a secret that she is a girl of a really few words. The most common response are nods or shakes of her head.

Yuuto: Haaaah... It's hurt to agree, but... I think Koneko is right. He didn't hurt Koneko nor me, until I tried to slash him on the ċhėst. I noticed how he frowned before he attacked.

Rias: But it doesn't mean anything. He may has a weak spot towards girls and that's why he trashed you around and Koneko is allright.

Yuuto shook his head and made a wry smile. Sweat dropped from his chin when he looked towards Razjeel.

Yuuto: President, I will be totally honest with you. If this guy want, he could kill us all with his close-combat skills and we wouldn't be able to do anything. I'm swordsman and Koneko is close-combat fighter so we can estimate more or less how powerful he is in terms of physical powers. He clearly stopped himself from killing me right there. He could broke my spine or neck whenever he wanted... Also his moves are too swift... It comes only with hard training and years of experience. To summarize this all, he was only toying with us and fought back only when I tried to kill him. President, it's better to talk to him and inform Sona President.

Rias: But-

Akeno: Rias, I think the same.

Rias looked toward her friend with confused look.

Akeno: Don't look at me like that. He is powerful both physically and in terms of Magic. He summoned strange green flame and though it was size of a finger I felt like I would melt just for being close to that. And ther is something else...

Rias looked at her with questioning gaze.

Akeno: He seems to be... Lost? He didn't understand us although we use our Language Skill, he didn't know where he is and his clothes looked like out of the place. We should just talk to him.

Rias looked towards their talk subject, thinking of what they said and she slowly nodded her head.

Rias: Okay..

Razjeel: Thank you, but first you should take care of your servants then we should talk properly.

Everyone was shocked. They looked towards Akeno with questioning faces. 'Didn't she said he don't understand our language???'. Akeno was also shocked but also little embarrassed. 'I said something wrong?' Razjeel thought looking at their's face expressions.

Akeno: Excuse me, but, you can understand us now?

Razjeel: Well, I couldn't at the beginning but I quickly grasp a things. You can say I'm a fast learner.

He said while rubbing back of his head with small smile. Akeno blushed again at this side and even Rias has a tint of red on her cheeks.

'NOOOOOO!! My harem is in danger!! ' shouted Issei internally seeing what happened.
