Kiba's Realisation

After Kiba had challenged the holy sword users to a duel, everyone had proceeded outside. Rias was worried for Kiba due to him not being in the right state of mind at the moment thanks to seeing the holy swords once again.

"Are you ready devil boy?" Xenovia then threw her cloak of as did Irina did the same. Irina and Xenovia were both wearing similar outfits, they were black one piece battle suits which had the cross on the chest area. To any normal person, it would have looked like they were involved in some bondage play as the outfits were very tight as you could tell by the tightness to the girl's rather large chests.

"I will destroy all those accursed Excalibur holy swords and avenge my friends!" Kiba then quickly shot straight after Xenovia, a sword appeared in Kiba's hand instantly and he tried to slash at the blue haired girl. Xenovia easily blocked each strike that was coming towards her.

"Do you even need my help Xenovia, this guy seems pretty weak with his sword?" Irina mocked.

Xenovia thinking that Kiba only had the one sword decided it was time to show why her sword was called the holy sword of destruction. Xenovia deflected more of Kiba's wild swings and then swung her massive sword with such ease and finesse and completely destroyed Kiba's blade.

"This is the holy sword of destruction, I will defeat you with ease if that is all you have to offer..."

Kiba was shocked at first about how easy she had destroyed one of his best swords, I will destroy those swords, no matter what!…

"Irina you may as well stay out of this, I thought seeing as he is a knight to the Gremory heiress he might be skilled and put up a good fight, but he just seems to be nothing more than an amateur..."

Issei, Asia and Koneko were all shocked at what Xenovia had just said, Issei turns and looks at Rias, Gohan and Akeno only to see that they were all angry at this too. However Gohan was angry for a different reason, Kiba is better than this and yet he is allowing his emotions to cloud his attacks...Just like I did with Cell…

"COME ON KIBA!" Issei shouted for his friend, trying to encourage him.

Kiba brought forth what he considered to be his best sword and was reading himself to destroy the holy sword and Xenovia with it, I must do this! I MUST DO THIS FOR EVERYONE!…

Kiba ran at Xenovia with his sword cocked back ready to swing his unyielding anger at her and the blade. Xenovia was waiting for Kiba to get closer to her, she could already read his movements and what he was going to try and do, pitiful… you are too easy "swordsman"…

Xenovia dodged Kiba's angry swing and hit the blonde knight straight in the stomach hard with the handle of the sword which caused him to become winded and cough up some blood. Kiba dropped to the ground gasping for air, he then turned to see that Xenovia was ready to kill him, "Go ahead, I'm basically a stray devil now anyway..."

"As you wish..." Xenovia muttered, she got her sword ready to finish Kiba off when suddenly Gohan appears out of nowhere in between her and the downed Kiba.

"You will not be finishing him off any of my friends" Gohan scowled at the blue haired girl. Xenovia instantly retreated a few steps as she knew that she would have to be careful if he were to get into a fight with the one she had been warned about.

"why…why...WHY!?" Kiba shouted after buttering the same word, "WHY DO YOU ALWAYS GET INVOLVED IN MY BUSINESS!" Kiba spat some blood out as he shouted.

Gohan turned to Kiba and bent down next to him, Kiba was seething with anger at Gohan's interference once again, Gohan didn't say a word and just chopped the back of Kiba's neck for the second time in a few days.

"Why did you stop me? You heard him he wanted me to kill him..." Xenovia stated while grabbing her cloak.

Gohan picked up Kiba by his shirt and began to walk back to Rias and co who were all worried for Kiba. As Gohan got to Xenovia and Irina, "I apologise on my friend's behalf for his rudeness..." Gohan started to say.

"Next time I won't…" Xenovia was suddenly cut off from speaking, "Next time you will be facing me, not him..." Gohan finished what he wanted to say and carried on walking to Rias and everyone leaving a rather scared Xenovia and Irina due to the sheer pressure they felt as Gohan finished his sentence.

"Rias, I'm taking Kiba into the training room to sort him out, I'm going to put him straight the way my master did to me" Rias could tell that Gohan was being as serious as she had ever seen him, "Okay but please be gentle with him..." She replied.

"Gohan! Let me come train with you both too please!" Issei hearing what Gohan had said to Rias desperately wanting to train under Gohan again.

"I'm sorry Issei, what I am about to do with Kiba isn't training..." Gohan muttered in reply, Gohan then disappeared with Kiba back to the house.

Seeing that Issei was down about not being able to train with Gohan again, Rias walked over to her pawn, "Issei, it's better that you trust Gohan on this" Rias softly spoke.

"I know, but what is Gohan going to do..." Issei replied picking up on everyone else's thoughts, What will Gohan do to Kiba…?

"Well, seeing as we are finished here, we will be leaving now" Xenovia announced to the Rias and her group.

Rias and co suddenly came out of their thoughts of Gohan and Kiba. Rias turned to the two girls wanting to know one more thing before they left, "Before you go there is one thing I would like to know… Who from the fallen angels stole the Holy Swords?"

"I guess there is no harm in telling you that… It was the leader of the Grigori's… Kokabiel"

Upon hearing that name both Rias and Akeno perked up at this discovery, Akeno was feeling anger to that certain fallen angel's name. Rias, on the other hand, was surprised that the church would only send these two girls to try and defeat someone that was in the leader class.

"You are going after someone that high up in the fallen angel ranking…?" Rias blurted out in shock.

"We are ready to lay our lives on the line to bring him to justice and bring back those swords to our Lord" Irina replied plainly much to the surprise of Issei upon seeing how serious she was about this.

"We both knew the risks when we took this mission… Just remember what we discussed earlier, if you are found involved in this, we will be back to kill you as well" Xenovia made clear much to Issei's annoyance at how cocky Xenovia was being.

"Come, Irina, let's go, we have work to do" Xenovia then began to walk away, "bye Issei, it was nice to see you again after so many years...even if you have become a devil now..." Irina waved at the group and then chased after Xenovia.

"Well then, what's say we go home ourselves" Rias stated to her group who all nodded. As they made their way home, each person was having a similar thought, I wonder what Gohan is doing to Kiba…

Gohan had just laid the unconscious Kiba down in the middle of the training room and started stretching as he knew what was about to happen once Kiba had woken up.

Soon enough Kiba began to move as he awakened from his slumber, Kiba rubbed his eyes to see just where he was. Once he could see everything around him, Kiba realised that he was now sat in the training room at home.

"eurgh… what am I doing here?" Kiba mumbled while slowly getting to his feet.

"You're here because I brought you here" Gohan made himself known to the devil knight as he now stood with his arms crossed with the door leading to the exit of the training room behind him.

Kiba scowled at Gohan as a river of memories flowed through his mind of what had happened before waking up in the training room at home.

"Why did you get involved Gohan! It has nothing to do with you, so why do you keep involving yourself!" Kiba didn't hate Gohan but was very angry due to the fact Gohan kept meddling in his personal business.

"Simple… If I hadn't involved myself when I had these past few times, you would have been dead by now, you let your emotions control your actions and you just ended up lashing out and not using your skills with your swords to your full advantage!" Gohan began to raise his voice.

"Maybe I didn't want to be saved!…" Kiba yelled in reply.

Gohan was pissed now, he had tried to be civil in dealing with Kiba but now he was just being stubborn, guess I will have to use Piccolo's method…

"Looks like Xenovia and Irina were right about you… you're weak Kiba" Gohan muttered, Kiba hissed at this and brought forth a sword.

"You believe you can defeat me Kiba when you couldn't even beat Xenovia or Freed..." Gohan disappeared from Kiba sight and punched him hard in the stomach, this brought the pain from Xenovia's hit earlier backup which made him cough some blood up as he dropped to his knees.

"Do you really think that all your friends that sacrificed themselves to save you would be happy at the fact you are now trying to throw your life away! NO, THEY WOULD BE ASHAMED BY THE PERSON YOU ARE BECOMING!" Gohan shouted.

"SHUT UP! WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW OF LOSS!" Kiba yelled back in anger.

"What would I know?... I have witnessed many horrors in my home dimension, I witnessed my father's best friend be blown to bits in front of me by an evil tyrant that was hell bent on enslaving the universe to do his bidding" Gohan paused, "I became so overconfident in my power when I unlocked a new transformation during my fight with Cell that he used the last effort to destroy my home planet when I could have killed him quickly when I had the chance but instead I decided I wanted to toy with him more. My father ended up giving up his own life due to my stupidity!" Gohan was balling his fists in anger at his memories of that day.

Kiba stood there after hearing what Gohan had said about his past, he didn't want to believe Gohan was telling the truth but after seeing Gohan's temper rise as he spoke about the incidents he knew he had to believe him.

"Your friends gave you that second chance Kiba, however, to leave this room and continue your quest in destroying those Excalibur Holy Swords… you will have to get through me first!" Gohan then began to build his power quickly and with a yell, as the power surged throughout his body Gohan turned Super Saiyan. The wind from the transformation and light that Gohan was emitting caused Kiba to shield his eyes, Kiba used sword birth to bring forth many swords all around them both.

"I WILL GET PAST YOU GOHAN, I WILL DESTROY THOSE SWORDS AND I WILL AVENGE MY FRIENDS!" Kiba bellowed out as he charged at Gohan with a sword in his hand.

Kiba swung the blade at Gohan quickly, unfortunately for Kiba, it didn't work as Gohan dodged it with ease and then planted a punch into Kiba's face sending the blonde swordsman flying and hitting the floor heavily.

Kiba got up ready to go again only to find Gohan was up close and ready to hit him again, Kiba quickly tries to bring his sword up to block the attack but as Gohan punches the sword, it just crumbles into tiny pieces after the immense power that was in the punch.

Gohan jumped back several feet, "The reason why you didn't beat Freed, Xenovia or Irina is simple Kiba… You are letting your revenge and your anger for those swords every time you see one cloud your judgement and then you become sloppy in your attacks" Gohan stated to the injured Knight who was just bringing himself back to his feet.

Kiba knew deep down that Gohan was right, however, right now all Kiba could focus on was beating Gohan and getting past him, even if he only had 1% chance of doing it.

Kiba then brought forth what he believed to be his best sword that he had left after his strongest sword had been destroyed by Xenovia earlier in their bout.

"I will get past you Gohan, even if that means I have to kill you" Kiba then used his power to bring forth his sword.

Gohan didn't say a word, he knew he had to finish this now before Kiba's injuries became worse, "This will be the end Kiba..." Gohan mumbled as he concentrated some power into his fingers, Sorry Dad, robbing your trick…

"ARRRGGGHHH!" Kiba charged at the Saiyan and with all his remaining strength tried to strike down the Super Saiyan, however, Kiba now had a look of horror and shock on his face.

Gohan had blocked the incoming attack with just his finger, Kiba then carried on his onslaught of attacks with his sword only for Gohan to block every single attack with just one finger. Kiba stepped back a few feet before charging one more time to hopefully get a blow on Gohan. Gohan sensing that Kiba was at his limit, as Kiba's sword came closer to Gohan's head, Gohan brought two fingers up and caught the blade easily with no damage done to him whatsoever then just as Kiba looked to pull his sword back, Gohan held it tightly with his fingers then snapped the blade with ease.

How…how did he defeat me so easily… After seeing Gohan snap his sword with just his fingers, Kiba slumped to his knees in defeat. Gohan seeing that Kiba had seemed to have finished in his attacks released Super Saiyan form and bent down to the distraught teen.

"Kiba, you don't need to take all this on your own. You have friends around you who would be willing to help you without a second thought, for example, me, Issei, and Koneko" Gohan spoke gently to his friend hoping that he would finally get through to him.

"I understand your frustration Kiba, I know that feeling of wanting to avenge your friends but going about it the way you have recently is not the answer. Revenge will only get you so far and will end up causing you more pain than you will know" Gohan put his hand on Kiba's shoulder trying to comfort his friend.

"You have us, your friends by your side and always willing to help you… all you need to do is ask Kiba..." Kiba then just broke down in tears as all the emotions inside him that he had kept bottled up for so long had finally been released. Kiba thinks back to his fights with Freed, Xenovia and Irina and realises that if it weren't for Gohan he really would be dead and just as Gohan said, his friends who sacrificed themselves really would ashamed of him.

"I'm so sorry...Gohan" Kiba sobs to Gohan. Gohan just lets him release all his built up emotions over the next few minutes.

Eventually once Kiba had calmed down and the waterworks had stopped, he stood up in front of Gohan and bows, "I'm sorry Gohan, I said some horrible things to you and was being selfish for my own personal goal" Kiba said as he was bowed in front of Gohan.

"Kiba, I will help you destroy those holy swords but we have to keep this hidden from Rias and Akeno" Gohan whispers.

"Thank you, Gohan..." Kiba smiles, Gohan seeing this also smiles, Looks like Kiba is back to normal…

"Let's head back inside the house, I imagine everyone is worried about you and plus we need to get Asia to heal you up too" Gohan then ushers Kiba to follow him which he nods too.

Rias and everyone had been home for a while now, Rias had told everyone not to go in the training room and just to leave Gohan to do whatever it was he was planning for Kiba.

"What do you suppose Gohan is doing with Kiba?" a pondering Akeno asked her best friend as they sat on the sofa drinking some tea.

"By the look on his face when he told me he was taking Kiba in there to "sort him out" something not too pleasant I imagine" Rias replied as she took a sip of her tea.

"Rias, I have been meaning to ask you" Akeno began, "What is it Akeno?" Rias looked at Akeno curious to what Akeno was about to ask.

"Are you still sure about me being involved in your relationship with you and Gohan..." Akeno was ecstatic to hear that Gohan did feel the same way, however, she was worried about Rias as she knew that she could be very possessive.

"Akeno, both me and Gohan have told you, we are happy with it. Besides if I didn't allow it we both know that you would only try and seduce him when I'm not around… don't forget I know all of your turn ons..." Rias winked at her queen causing Akeno to smile devilishly.

"RIAS, AKENO!" A voice boomed through the house.

"Sounds like Gohan is done..." Rias stated as both she and Akeno quickly got up and proceeded upstairs.

Rias and Akeno were both horrified by what they saw, Kiba had a lot of injuries to his body whereas the only injury on Gohan was a small cut to his cheek.

"I thought I told you to take it easy on him Gohan!" Rias shouted as she ran over to her injured knight who was passed out on the floor.

"Well, we got a bit carried away once things had been settled..." Gohan scratched the back of his head and chuckled.

"Akeno, please bring Asia to Kiba's room, I will have Gohan bring Kiba to his room so that Asia can heal his injuries."

"Yes Rias..." Akeno then walked off to find Asia.

"So, I presume that everything is now sorted…?" Rias sarcastically asked.

"….yes… it took a while but Kiba now realises the importance of his actions recently and he seemed to be back to normal" Gohan muttered, he didn't want to tell Rias just yet that he had agreed to help Kiba in finding and destroying the Holy Swords.

"Let's take him back to his room and let Asia heal his wounds… speaking of what exactly did you do to him in there…?" Rias curiously asks as Gohan picked Kiba up.

"I did the only thing I could do… beat him until he realised that he wasn't acting normal and fighting his usual way"

"You didn't go Super Saiyan on him did you Gohan?" Rias scowled at her boyfriend, she knew that due to not having someone who is as powerful as he was that he might just get a bit excited by the fight from Kiba.

"ermm…no of course not..." Gohan laughed sheepishly hoping that Rias would believe him.

Luckily for Gohan, Akeno had come back with Asia in tow. Asia was shocked by the state of Kiba and looked at Gohan in her cute angry face before storming into Kiba's room.

"Wow, you've even managed to make our cute little Asia angry at you, you fiend..." Akeno cooed into Gohan's ear the last part making him shiver at what may happen to him.

"Come on you big lug..." Rias ushered him into Kiba's room before shutting the door behind them.

Asia was able to heal Kiba's major injuries such as broken bones, gashes and bruising fairly easily and quickly, however Kiba probably wouldn't wake up until the morning.

Gohan had gotten a severe talking to from Asia and from Rias about how brutal some of the injuries that Kiba had thanks to Gohan. Gohan apologized to both girls quickly.

The next morning, everyone minus Gohan and Kiba were eating breakfast in the kitchen, seeing as it was the weekend each individual had their own plans for the day. Issei and Asia decided they wanted to have a date day and go into town, go cinema, arcade and for food. They had not been able to spend much time together recently so Rias allowed them the day off.

Koneko was going to wait around for Gohan as he wanted to ask him about training again, she felt that ever since Gohan had arrived she had lost her rank of being the powerhouse of the team. Koneko wasn't mad at this but she knew in order to protect Rias and her friends she needed to become stronger.

"Morning everyone, look who I met in the hallway..." Gohan announced himself to the group in the kitchen, Kiba slowly walked in feeling rather down at how he had acted to everyone in the past few days. As Gohan went over to make his mammoth breakfast, Kiba stood in front of everyone and simply bowed to them…

"Everyone, I am sorry for my behaviour these past few days. I know I haven't been myself and have said some mean things to those of you, mainly Gohan but I promise I won't let my anger consume me again" Kiba was now just waiting for someone to say something, the silence pained him as he was scared that everything with each of them would change.

Issei walked up to the bowing Kiba, "Kiba, stand up straight..." Kiba did so realising the voice belonged to Issei. Issei immediantely hugged his friend. This act shocked Kiba as he was half expecting a punch more than a hug, "Issei..."

"Kiba, we are all your friends here and will be for as long as we are devils, each of us has our own burdens we bare" Issei paused, "but we all help each other with whatever is troubling the others" Kiba was happy to hear those words and looked around the room to see each person smiling at him in agreement with Issei's words.

"Thank you...everyone..." Kiba mutters while wiping away a few tears that had escaped his eyes.

"Well, me and Akeno have to attend a meeting at my brothers home so we will be out for most of the day" Rias and Akeno walked over to the inhumane, guzzling eating machine that was Gohan.

"Gohan, make sure you behave while we are gone..." Akeno giggled while looking at the dumb face Gohan was showing with some food sticking out his mouth, Rias just shook her head in embarrassment while everyone else laughed too.

Both Akeno and Rias gave their boyfriend a quick kiss and said their goodbye's as they disappeared via the Gremory magic circle for transportation.

"Issei, I'm going to go and get ready for our day out, won't be a minute" an excited Asia made known to Issei as he too left the kitchen to get ready for his day. This left Gohan, Kiba and Koneko in the kitchen, Gohan had finished eating and knew this was the best moment to speak about helping Kiba with Koneko.

"Koneko, there is something you need to know… me and Kiba will be going after those Holy swords of Excalibur and destroying each one, you are…" Gohan began to explain before, "I want to help you both" Koneko interrupted quickly.

"I thought you might" Gohan smiled at the cat like girl and patted her head gently as she loved him to do.

"Are you sure about this Gohan?" Kiba questioned.

"Yes, Koneko was worried about you Kiba, just as much if not more than the rest of us"

Koneko looked at Kiba and grabbed his shirt with her fingers, she looked up to him, "I want to help heal your pain Kiba" Koneko uttered in her plain voice.

Kiba looked at her face and knew that he had already lost this argument, "Thank you Koneko..." Kiba patted Koneko on her head gently like Gohan too.

"Right then, let's get ready and start searching the town..." Gohan exclaimed.

On there way out Koneko briefed both Gohan and Kiba on what they had been told after Gohan left last night, she told them off the Grigori faction and how the fallen angels were behind the stealing of the holy swords. Koneko also told them that the Grigori's leader was a leader class fallen angel who went by the name of Kokabiel, Kiba had heard of him before from Rias and Akeno when he was a newer devil.

"So this Kokabiel guy wants all of the holy swords… but why?" Gohan ponders, their must be some end game that he is after by stealing those swords...but what?…

"Xenovia and Irina didn't say so I think they are in the dark about this as much as we are" Koneko proclaimed casually.

A sudden idea popped into Kiba's head, "I have an idea, what if we try and draw out Freed Selzan"

Gohan picked up on the knight's thoughts straight away, "of course, he had a holy sword so if we bring him out then he can lead us back to this Kokabiel which will lead us to the rest of the swords" Kiba nodded in agreement.

"Question is...how?"

"Easy, I will act as bait in an open area, eventually he is bound to come out of hiding as he was desperate to kill me the other night" Kiba made known to the pair.

"It's a risky plan Kiba, are you sure?" Gohan protested with a look of concern for his friend, Gohan knew how crazy that potty mouth priest was and didn't want to endanger anyone so easily.

"I'm sure Gohan, besides you two won't be too far away and he won't be able to take all of us on, or just you on your own I suppose..." Kiba replied laughing.

"Lets do it in the park later tonight, we will have a better chance of him showing up at night" Koneko suggested to which both boys agreed.

Meanwhile in Hell…

Rias and Akeno had just finished their boring meeting about how her peerage and her were doing in Kuoh Town, most of the time she was being questioned about her relationship with Gohan by her brother and father, they were shocked to hear that he had not only stolen Rias's heart but now also Akeno's too. The Gremory family were happy for the black haired girl, Akeno had been pretty much adopted into the family at a young age, Rias's parents both loved Akeno and saw her as an extra daughter so they were ecstatic that Akeno had gotten past her fear of men and was now also with Gohan.

The duo were now on their way to Sona's house as Sona had sent a message to Rias, inviting her and Akeno over to the baths once again to join herself and Tsubaki.

"Hello Sona, thank you for the invitation. I need a relaxing bath after all of that pestering from my parents" Rias sighed at the recollection of the onslaught of questions.

Sona chuckled at her friend, "I can imagine, there is a reason as to why I invited you over though"

"I figured as much seeing as we are in our secret telling place once again" The girls were all now getting changed to go into the bathing area.

"I'm guessing you met with those two Holy Sword users from the church?" Sona asked.

"Yes, it didn't end very well unfortunately..." Rias then told Sona and Tsubaki about Kiba fighting the pair of them and losing easily thanks to his rage taking over his rationality. Rias then told them both about Gohan's interference and then taking Kiba away to "sort him out".

"Speaking of Gohan, after your rating game against Riser, a lot of the high class devils have taken an interest in him as have the Angels and Fallen Angels, my sister was also asking about him after hearing about him from Sirzechs and Ajuka" Sona stated as she began to lead the girls into the baths.

They all took a seat on the bench as the room began to steam up thanks to the heat rising in the room.

"Yes I know, the two from the church did mention something about Heaven keeping an eye on him and I feel that the Fallen Angels see him as a major threat to their plans also, especially if I become involved in any of their projects they involve Kuoh Town in" Rias was slightly worried by the growing interest in hers and Akeno's boyfriend, I just hope Gohan can stay out of trouble…

Kiba was stood in the middle of the town as Gohan and Koneko were both keeping an eye out for any sight of Freed or any Fallen Angels. Kiba had been stood there for a while now and nobody seemed to be arriving so he left and met back up with Gohan and Koneko.

"Maybe we need to go to a more secluded area where there is a big open space..." Gohan recommended. Kiba and Koneko both nodded in agreement so they began to walk in the direction of the main park in Kuoh Town.

CLANG….CLANG….CLANG…

"What's that noise…?" Kiba muttered, they were getting closer to the park. It was now getting very dark as it was around 11 am.

"I have a feeling I know what..." Gohan began to run in the direction of the noise with Koneko and Kiba quickly following in tow.

As Gohan got closer to the noise he sensed just who was in that direction, I knew it… it's those girls from the church and Freed!…

Once Kiba had caught up along with Koneko his rage began to surface as he realised just who he was looking at, Xenovia was currently in a heated sword fight with Freed Selzan while Irina looked to be waiting for an opening to exploit.

"Kiba, control your anger. Let's just observe for now and see what happens..." Gohan put his hand on the Knights shoulder to calm him down which did work. The three teens then jumped into a nearby tree and began to observe the fight that was ongoing.

Gohan could quickly tell that both girls were very weak and not showing as much skill with their swords as they were yesterday, he knew something wasn't right as Freed was overpowering them with ease much to his surprise.

"Is that all you have..." Freed then cackled manically as he usually did.

Xenovia was angry, Freed had caught them both off guard and at there worst moment, both girls had not managed to get any food and were both very tired as they didn't have anywhere to stay seeing as the church in the town had been destroyed, they had multiple injuries thanks to this freak and were both on their last legs they felt.

Damn it, I refuse to be killed by this foul mouthed ex priest…! Xenovia tried to get back to her feet by using her sword as leverage, however, her body was just screaming at her to stay down. Irina was in a similar state as her clothes had been ripped in places thanks to Freed trying to grope the honey blonde girl.

"Looks like I will kill you to pieces of trash and take those swords from your dead corpses!" Freed licked his lips disturbingly and began to run at the downed Xenovia, ready to finish her off.

Irina could only watch on as Freed was going to kill her friend and then probably finish her off as well, Please Lord, save us…!

Xenovia shut her eyes and waited for the inevitable…

CLANG…

A sudden noise of sword on sword contact caused Xenovia to open her eyes, to her shock she found the blonde knight of Rias Gremory protecting her, Xenovia blushed at the surprise of her saviour.

"YOU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" Freed shrieked in annoyance at the arrival of Kiba.

"I'm here for payback for the other night and this time I brought back up..." Kiba smirked in reply as he forced Freed to retreat further back away from him and Xenovia.

"What...are you...doing here? Come to finish me off for yesterday…?" Xenovia stuttered her words out as she looked at the back of Kiba.

"No… I may hate the sword you both use with all my being after what happened with my friends, but thanks to another friend" Kiba looked at the arriving form of Gohan which Xenovia realised he must of meant Gohan, "he made me realise that I must let go of this rage and live for those who sacrificed themselves for me" Kiba then looked at Xenovia and put his hand out to help her stand.

Xenovia reluctantly took the hand and pulled herself off the floor, "Thank...you… you know for saving me then..."

Kiba just smiled at her, which surprisingly caused the blue haired girl to blush…

Xenovia looked over to Irina and saw that she was unconscious and being treated lightly by the small white haired girl she had seen before. Thank god she didn't see what just happened…

Kiba turned to face Freed, "Time to put you down once and for all!" Kiba then brought forth one of is swords and charged at the former priest.

"Well, come on then princess, I will gladly rip you apart limb from limb!" Freed manically laughed as he charged towards Kiba as well.

As the two were battling it out, Xenovia watched on in awe, he was nowhere near this good yesterday! What on earth happened since yesterday…

Gohan saw the shocked look on the blue haired girls face. "The Kiba you are seeing now is the real Kiba, not the one track minded one you fought yesterday" Gohan reiterated to the girl as he still stood ready for any attacks to come his way.

"Xenovia was it… We both share a common goal, you want the Holy Swords back or destroyed, we want to destroy them, for Kiba" Xenovia looked at the boy who was a lot calmer than yesterday...thankfully.

"Kiba was part of the project that killed many orphans who were deemed as failures when creating the swords you all use...he was the only survivor" Gohan revealed.

Xenovia knew of the Holy Sword Project and had heard that there was one survivor but nobody knew of his identity or whereabouts, she realised then why Kiba had been so angry the day before and constantly tried to destroy her sword, I can't believe it was him all along…

As Kiba began to gain the upper hand against Freed, "Come now Freed, you're not really having trouble with that pathetic failure of an experiment..." a croaky old voice made itself known as an older looking man walked out from behind some trees.

"Of course not Valper, just playing is all..." Freed replied while laughing.

Kiba saw the man and instantly recognised him, It's really him… I MUST KILL HIM! Kiba's rage quickly came back after seeing the man who had caused all of his sorrow and taken away all of his friends when he was younger, the man known as Valper Galilei.

Gohan saw the sudden change in demeanour in Kiba as he stared at the newcomer, That must be the one behind all of the swords and who Rias spoke about…

"Freed, let's fall back for now… we cannot deal with all of these here, especially that one over by the blue haired girl..." Gohan was surprised by the command especially seeing as he was talking about him specifically him.

Freed quickly jumped back to Valper's side, "Well, its been fun shitty devils..." Freed grabbed one of his special flash bombs.

"NO YOU WILL NOT GET AWAY VALPER!" Kiba screamed in anger as he jumped towards the pair only to suddenly become blinded by a bright light as Freed and Valper escaped.

Kiba still fuelled by rage after seeing Valper for the first time in years immediantely disappeared into the forest trying to chase down the pair.

"KIBA WAIT!" Gohan called out, however before Gohan could chase after him a red and blue magic circle made itself known, Gohan instantly recognised the crest and also the incoming energies with it, damn, this isn't going to end well for me…

Koneko saw the magic circle too and had similar thoughts to Gohan, uh oh…

Xenovia could barely move at this point and who had been trying her hardest not to pass out had finally given in and she collapsed to the floor.

Out of the blue magic circle came Sona and Tsubaki and out of the red magic circle came out two rather annoyed looking girls who seemed to be hiding something behind their backs. Gohan suddenly had a random shiver up his spine as both girls revealed what was behind their backs, oh no… but how did they find out!
