125 Desire and?

"Lavinia?" questioned the young man, looking at the long blond-haired girl.

"Ahh! Asgorath's smell..." the young girl seemed to ignore his inquiring as she kept rubbing her face with Wang Lei.

Grayfia was standing behind him with her stoic expression with Kuroka, Koneko, Rias, and Akeno. They were looking at the girl and were wondering what kind of relationship does Wang Lei has with this girl.

A moment later, the girl finally calmed down and looked at Wang Lei with an expression, as if she was wronged, though it only made her look cuter.

"Why did you not come back to meet me, Asgorath?" she demanded of Wang Lei, who was still surprised that she found out where he lived. But then he remembered that he left her with a device to find him and smiled.

"Sorry. I had some other things to take care of and, kind of, forgot to visit you."

Her cheeks swelled cutely, "How can you forget about me?"

"I am sorry. Anyway, let's go in first." said the young fox, gently caressing her head.

Lavinia nodded happily and ran to get her bags before going in with them.

Feeling the stare, Wang Lei looked his behind and saw girls staring at him with question evident on their face about who she is.

"I will explain. Let's go in first."

Grayfia and others nodded before following after him. After going into Wang Lei's room, everyone sat together and looked at him, who was hugged by Lavinia with her chest pressing on his arm.

Suzaku and Shuri were also present inside the room, looking at him. Though he called for Suzaku, Shuri was also present and followed after her.

Seeing as everyone was waiting for him to start, Wang Lei coughed before opening his mouth, "Hmm, where should I start..." tailed him as he thought of where to start.

"Hmm, long story short, I met Lavinia when she was a kid and lost her parents. Since she was left alone in this world and was cute, I started to spend my time with her before leaving her with a device that notifies her if my memories have come back or not. That device also told her about my general location. I had told her not to find me If I had not gained memories, and once I did, I will go back to her - the end."

Finishing his whole past in two lines, Wang Lei started to pat Lavinia's head, who seems to be sad after remembering her parents.

Other hearing him nodded in understanding. They already knew that he could reincarnate if he were to die, so it was no surprise to them that he was looking for a way to get his memories back.

Seeing that everyone understood, Wang Lei nodded, "Then I should go to sleep, I am sleepy after all."

KNOCK KNOCK

Just as he finished speaking, someone knocked at the door garnering everyone's attention.

"What is it?" Suzaku asked. With her question, the door opened, and a man came in. Leaning to Suzaku, he whispered something. But with their enhanced senses, pretty much everyone heard it except Akeno, Rias, Shuri.

"Young Miss, regarding the information about the person called Baraqiel... It seems that he has died in one of his missions."

Suzaku's eyes opened wide, hearing him.

"What you said, is it true?!" her voice increased higher as she inquired of the man, who started to sweat.

"It is indeed true, Young Miss! We have found the information directly from the Governer-General of Grigori! According to him, he could not come due to certain circumstances and had us know about it!" he said it all in one breath, holding nothing.

With her fist tightens, she looked towards Shuri, who had a frown on her face when she heard about Governer-General; suddenly, she had a bad premonition.

Looking at the scrunched face of Suzaku, Shuri asked worriedly, "S- what happened Suzaku? Why are you making that face? D- did something happened at Fallen Angel's side?" her shaky voice echos inside the room, asking her niece question that she did not know how to answer.

"... We have got information about Baraqiel..." after some time, she opened her quivered lips, "... Baraqiel... he has died on a mission."

SILENCE

"Eh?" a dumbfound voice left Shuri's mouth. Her brain could not process what she heard. Baraqiel... her husband, who was supposed to come back after he completed his mission... is dead?

"It can't be..."

THUD

"AUNT! (MOTHER!)" Akeno and Suzaku shouted, at the same time, as Shuri fell on the ground, losing her consciousness due to shock.

Before her head hit the ground, Wang Lei caught her. His eyes narrow as he used <Analyze> on her. Sighing as he felt nothing wrong with her body except that she received a great shock.

"Don't worry. She is alright. Just a little shock on her mind; she would be alright after she rests a little." reassured the dragon after seeing the worried sick face of both Akeno - who was already crying - and Suzaku.

Gently rubbing Akeno's head, Wang Lei looked towards Grayfia, "Grayfia, take her to her room. She needs some rest."

Gently nodding her head, Grayfia bowed before taking Shuri back to her room so she can rest, and - hopefully - not receive any damage to her brain.

'Sigh... fucking Baraqiel... destroyed my whole night... did he have to die today? Can you not die sometime later?' Wang Lei thought.

By no means he was cold - no, maybe he was. Just that he did not care about some stranger's death. He was just irked that it made Akeno sad... and possibly may leave a scar in Shuri's mind. Since he liked Akeno and not her father.

"Rias, take Akeno to bed." gently saying to the worried little redhead, Wang Lei put Akeno to sleep, who was still crying, hugging him tightly.

Nodding, Rias took Akeno with Koneko and Kuro following after. They could tell that Wang Lei was not in the mood to talk with anyone right now.

---

A full moon hung in the sky, showering the night world with 'its' light. Himejima Clan was in eerily silence. One would be able to hear a drop of a needle; that much silence was enveloping the whole clan currently.

In one of its roofs, a young man with long silver hair was sitting there gazing at the night sky, with a frown evident on his face... as if he was bothered by something.

Gazing at the moon, Wang Lei was feeling an emotion unknown to him. When he heard Baraqiel's death and seeing Shuri's expression, he could not help but think that he has seen such a thing happened before - no! He had experienced something like that before, but he was sure that such a thing never happened.

'Dammit!... such an annoying feeling this is!' he cursed in his mind as he felt it growing with each passing second. It felt like someone was crunching and wringing his stomach over and over. At the same time, he felt like he wanted to become stronger, stronger than anything. He wanted to reach the apex of every multiverse. It annoyed him. It felt like he was being controlled by his desires.

[Ding! The Host's stage has reached a critical condition! Initiating emergency seal!]

Hearing the every grown monotonous voice inside his head, Wang Lei felt the sudden intrusion of foreign energy entering his body. The energy... itself felt like it was part of the world. As if the whole universe could be controlled with one thought of such energy. He could tell that it was Primordial Energy, yet the concepts of mixing in it were beyond him. Even with his cheat comprehension ability, it would have taken him, at least, a year or decade to completely understand them all.

But Wang Lei did not stop the energy. His face was eerily calm as if what was happening was none of his problems.

"So HE intervenes, huh... Am I still not suppose to know about 'it'?" questioned the young man to typically to no one.

After some time, the whole feeling or was it desire? He could feel nothing.

"Yue... is HE still watching me?"

"..."

Only silent answered him, but Wang Lei seems to get his answer as a small wryly smile forms on his face, 'Just what did I have done in my past life?'

"... Wang Lei... are you alright?"

Looking at his back, Wang Lei saw a buxom girl standing there with worry laced over her face. With her red ruby-like eyes, she was looking at him.

Smiling gently, Wang Lei called her close to him and hugged her soft body.

Placing his head on her soft bouncy chest, Wang Lei closed his eyes, "Let me stay like this for a while."

Though surprised, Suzaku smiled and started to caress his hair gently. After placing Shuri in her room, Suzaku had left it since Grayfia was there. She thought of taking a fresh air when her gaze fell upon Wang Lei, but seeing the frown on his face and pain in his eyes, she came to him, worried that something happened to him.

Seeing that he had already fallen to sleep, Suzaku smiled and kept gazing at the lonely moon in the night sky.

"Tch! He almost was consumed by his desires again." said a young man, sitting on a thorn with annoyance visible in his voice.

"It is good that he or you have already put seals on his soul so such situation - if ever rose - could be dealt with." an old man said, marveling at the insight of his master.

"Yeah... we already knew such thing would happen. They say old habits die hard, here our desire can be called a habit, no?" questioned the young man with a sigh. His eyes seem to be gazing in a distance past.

"But the thing I cannot understand is that His Excellency should have full control over darkness, then how can he be still be affected by it?" the old man wondered. He knew that darkness was just another source of energy for the young man, yet he was consumed by it. He could not tell how.

"Of course, such punny thing as darkness cannot do a thing to us... it is our mistakes that we had did in the past that are hunting us. But it should be alright now... with everyone back to life, maybe we can finally forgive ourselves? Or, at least, he can." the young man said with melancholy in his voice that seems to fades just as it came.

"Indeed... as long as His Excellency reach Unbreakable Dao heart, then such things as past mistake will only remain mistake, nothing more."

"Haa~... if only I had achieved such a state before I went full mad spree, and now Heaven is after us because of that..." said the young man before he went to silence as if in deep thought.

The old man could only shake his head. He has not felt or had not gone through what the young man has gone, so he was not sure about what to feel.

---

With little quivered of his eyes, Wang Lei opened them just to find himself sandwiched between heavenly softness.

Slightly raising his head, he glanced at the blond girl - with her usual innocent expression - she snores quietly. With a slight grin on her face, her grip on his head tightens.

He looked at his side and saw the raven-head girl, having his other half of face into her mountains, as she had a gentle expression on her face.

Wang Lei sight and looked down to see Akeno and Rias sleeping above him. Kuroka and Koneko were sleeping at the side.

"You are awake, Wang Lei-sama. Please, take a bath and get ready; it is almost time for your breakfast."

Sighing at the voice of his dedicated 'maid', Wang Lei becomes intangible and slipped out of the softness.

Standing, he stretches while yawning. Looking at his stoic 'maid', Wang Lei smirked. Taking her hand by surprise, Wang Lei pulls her towards him.

Before Grayfia could say anything, her lips were taken by the young dragon, who started to explore her soft cave.

"Mmnng!"

Grayfia moaned as she felt Wang Lei's hand groping her butt cheek, making her snatch wet.

After completely enjoying her soft lips and tongue, Wang Lei released her, leaving her breathing heavily.

"Let's go and have breakfast, dear. Shuri should be awakening soon." Tenderly hugging her, Wang Lei said, making the silver-haired maid blush as she places her head on his chest and shyly nodded.

---

After done with his breakfast, Wang Lei and everyone entered Shuri's room and saw her sitting on her bed with blank eyes, gazing out of the window. It felt as if every emotion was erased from her.

Wang Lei frowned, seeing it. Just one glance was enough for him to see that Shuri was thinking of something stupid.

Akeno ran to her mother and hugged her, making Shuri looking at her daughter. Seeing her daughter, her eyes started to get wet as she started to cry. Shuri hugged Akeno as the voice of her sorrow echoed in the room. Suzaku also went and hugged her, wanted to console her aunt.

Wang Lei sighed, seeing the light returning to her eyes. Shaking his head, he left the room. Just like his childhood, he was really not good with such situations.

***
