Chapter 22

Sona Sitri couldn't describe or believe what she just watched right now, here is a young man that she met a few months ago that came out of nowhere with no memory of his past or so he says but he has the power to rival someone with Satan class devil.

This man was using spells she had never even seen before and they were strong enough to affect someone that is a dragon king, someone that is just as strong as her sister. Sephiroth only got hit once during the whole fight and healed from it almost instantly which was surprising to her. Sona had the feeling that there was a lot more to see from what Sephiroth has shown so far.

When the fight finally ended she was in disbelief when he won against Tiamat and even his speech at the end to get Tiamat to join him as his familiar was so passionate that it almost sounded like he was proposing to her. When Sona thought of this she had a blush on her face and hoped that maybe he would say something like that to her in the near future.

"So brat what is the plan now?" Tiamat asked curious what they were going to do now.

"Right now I want you to heal up, how long will it take for you to make a full recovery?" Sephiroth asked, hoping that it won't be too long.

"Well, you did cut me up pretty badly in my dragon form so .... I'd say about a week or so why?" When Tiamat asked him back, Sephiroth just raised his hand and cast a [Curaga] on her body.

When that spell hit her, Tiamat was surprised to say the least; it felt like she was bathing in a warm bath after a long day. She could feel all her injuries healing themselves at a rapid pace almost making her moan because of how good it felt and right when she was about to let out her voice it ended right there making her sigh when it was over.

"How about now that I healed you up?" When Tiamat heard his question she quickly checked her body with her senses and was thoroughly shocked that she was as good as new already. Granted she heals quickly because of her race for being a dragon but even this was something else, while she was thankful for him healing her. In her opinion it was his fault she was so hurt to begin with and she wasn't going to thank him.

"Yup feel good as new brat, so what do you want me to do now?" wondering if she will get to fight someone else strong considering he wanted a familiar from the forest.

"Nothing, continue doing whatever you do here I'll summon you when and if I need you" Sephiroth stated and Tiamat just nodded her head to this. They then got the contract out of the way so that he would be able to summon her when and if he needed her for something making them partner's now.

After finishing what he wanted to do here Sephiroth walks back to Sona so that they can get out of the familiar forest and teleport back to the Sitri mansion. He has a lot of books to still read and plans to get most if not all of them, knowledge is power especially when it comes to magic.

When they go back to Sona's home they immediately attacked "So-tan, Sephy-chan, I missed you so much" Serafall says while grabbing them both and pulling them into a group hug much to the discomfort of Sona and Sephiroth.

"Onee-sama please let me go, you're embarrassing me" Sona was extremely embarrassed because she was being hugged with Sephiroth thanks to her sister.

"Serafall I must ask that you let me go" Sephiroth said in a flat tone not at all affected that he is being hugged by a big breasted loli. Just another day for him since she has gotten here, always hugging him.

"Ah Sephy-chan, you don't like me anymore?" Serafall says while pouting and having tears in the corner of her eyes, if she did that to any other man that would have worked but Sephiroth just stared at her till she realized it wasn't going to work and let him go but still kept Sona in her arms.

"Sona, Serafall I'll be in the library if you need me"

While walking up the stairs to the library Sephiroth turns his head to speak to the two sisters "If you want Sona we can play another chess match later and we can see if you improved any" And with that he walks away unaware of the situation he just put Sona in with her family.

After processing what Sephiroth just said to her so-tan, she knew that she had to get to the bottom of this. "Oh so-tan what did he mean by that, have you played Sephy-chan in chess and lost against him?"

"Ummm... Yes" Sona said not seeing the point of lying to her sister about it, they could always just ask Sephiroth and he wouldn't lie about it because he won't see the big deal about her losing to him.

"We have had many matches in chess and I haven't been able to beat him once," Sona said, trying to look away because she was embarrassed to admit that to her sister.

"How many times have you lost to him?" Serfall asked curious on how many matches that they have played so far.

"I've lost 50 times to him already and won none Onee-sama" Serafall was shocked internally when she heard that her sister, the best chess player of the younger generation of devils, lost to someone not just once but 50 times. When she thought about it a bit more doesn't that mean Sephiroth is engaged to her sister.

When she came to this thought she had to ask "Does he know what it means when he beat you at chess so-tan?" Sona looked away again at her question.

"No I've never told him yet, and I don't know how to bring it up either. He isn't even a devil and wasn't actively trying to get my hand in marriage, I feel that I'd be trapping him if I said something. What should I do Onee-sama?" Sona asked in a pleading tone at the end hoping her sister had a solution.

Thinking about it for a bit, Serafall knew what she had to do for her little sister happiness.

"He may be my unofficial greatest sidekick but Sephy-chan will have to be told. You leave this to your big sister okay" Serafall gives one more powerful hug to her little sister and heads upstairs to follow Sephiroth to the library to have a talk with him.

*****

When she walked into the library she found Sephiroth calmly sitting down reading a book and sipping on some tea.

"Sephy-chan my greatest sidekick, we need to have a talk about so-tan" Sephiroth raised his head from his book curious about what Serafall wanted to talk to him about.

"What do you need from me Serafall that has to do with Sona?"

"Sephy-chan what do you think about Sona?" Serafall asked, while Sona was outside the door leaning against the wall listening to their conversation because she wanted to know.

"Hmm... well she is a very very strict and intelligent person. Whether it is a matter of the Student Council or the Sitri Clan matters, she does not take anything lightly. For the ones that she does befriend they will always have her support from what I've seen. She is very loyal to those she cares about and I would think that we are friends at this point. Does that answer your question Serafall?" Sephiroth asked, wondering if that answer satisfied her.

Sighing to herself, Serafall knew that Sephiroth didn't have any romantic feelings for her sister and just saw her as a good loyal friend while disappointed to some degree she was also happy because she would get to keep her so-tan all to herself for now at least.

Sona when she heard what Sephiroth had to say had some tears in the corner of her eyes because she thought and hoped that Sephiroth had developed some feelings for her during the time spent together but sadly it wasn't meant to be. That didn't mean that she was going to give up on him though, to her Sephiroth was perfect husband material and she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him even if she wasn't the only one. With a new determination in her eyes she walked away thinking up a new plan to get his attention.

Back to Serafall and Sephiroth "Yes it does Sephy-chan, I'm going to go now have fun in here" Serafall stated then walked away to go and find her sister and let her know what happened here unaware that Sona already heard everything.

Muttering to himself while finishing the rest of his tea "I don't understand how they can be sisters but yet so different in personality, mystery of the Sitri family" and went back to reading his book in the library.
