Chapter 33

When Sephiroth arrived at where Tiamat was she and Kunou were playing some weird kind of video game on a console and from the looks of it seemed to be a fighting game. It was then that Tiamat sensed Sephiroth but she also sensed something else different from her partner, something that she wouldn't mistaken for anything, this caused her to turn her head toward him.

Kunou took advantage of this situation and beat Tiamat making her happy but Tiamat wasn't paying attention to this and she started sniffing the air and noticed that Sephiroth had a dragon aura around him now and she recognized this aura from the past.

"Bring her out brat, I have something to say to that lying lizard" Tiamat said in a serious voice not even caring that she is yelling at her master right now overcome with anger at Ddraig.

Sephiroth did not really care that Tiamat yelled at him so he brought out Ddraig on his right arm. Amused smile on his face because he could hear Ddraig panicking inside his head to not bring her out and was making some crazy promises to just avoid this talk. It didn't work though Sephiroth knew that these two would have to talk to each other; they are both his partners and he didn't want to have bad blood between them.

"Lying lizard, where is my treasure that you promised to bring back when you were done with it?" Tiamat said to Ddraig with clear anger in her voice.

"Listen Tiamat, I can't bring it back for several reasons" Ddraig said with some nervousness in his voice at being asked about this treasure he borrowed in the past hoping that she won't ask more about it but she wasn't so lucky.

"And what are those reasons then hmmm?" She said with tapping her foot and putting her arms on her waist looking like she is yelling at a child.

"I…..I….I think I broke it and .... I kind of forgot what it even was that I took from you in the past" If Ddraig could hide in a hole she would because of how embarrassed she is right now telling Tiamat in front of Sephiroth and Kunou.

"WWHHHHAAAATTT" Tiamat yelled out loud while releasing some magical pressure in the room for a second because of her anger.

"Calm down now Tiamat" Sephiroth spoke in a serious voice splashing what felt like a bucket of cold water on Tiamat getting her to stop what she was doing right away. When she released her magical pressure Sephiroth was worried about the effect that it was having on Kunou next to her if her face and breathing were anything to go by.

"I'm sorry partner but when I heard what she said I couldn't control myself, she not only broke what I lent her but completely forgot what the item was. Who does that?" Tiamat said to her master.

"Hey that was like 500 years ago. I had just been turned into a sacred gear and was with my first host and wanted to defeat Albion and his host once and for all. You can't blame me for forgetting if anything it is Albion's fault he broke the treasure." Ddraig said trying to defend herself but her argument just sounds just awful when Sephiroth and even Kunou could figure that out as well.

Tiamat was just speechless when she heard what Ddraig said her reasons were she was acting like a child not a heavenly dragon right now. Sephiroth, seeing that this was getting nowhere decided to speak up to end this matter.

"Alright that's enough you two, when Ddraig gets her body back in the future just have her owe you 2 favors" Tiamat was shocked internally when she heard this because as she knows it is impossible for Ddraig to get her body back but when she thought of Sephiroth she thought that he might know a way to get her body back for her somehow.

"Fine" they both said and like this they were able to put aside their differences at least for now.

Kunou figuring that whatever this thing was about is over jumped at Sephiroth "Onii-chan I missed you so much"

Catching her in his arms he gives a small smile to her that makes Kunou smile even brighter because of it.

So they talked just the two of them with Tiamat and Ddraig joining in here and there with about what each of them have been up to since his last visit.

Kunou was interested in this girl Asia that her onii-chan saved and this fallen angel as well and got jealous of them that they get to spend more time with her onii-chan then her but she didn't know why that was.

Sephiroth was content to know that Kunou and Yasaka haven't been attacked recently since he made Tiamat their bodyguard.

"Onii-chan since you're going to Tokyo this weekend do you think that I could come with you?" Kunou asked trying to put the best puppy eye look on her face, she even added a quivering lip to get the maximum effect on Sephiroth.

Sephiroth was mildly impressed with Kunou's form of attack to get him to take her with him to the kendo competition in Tokyo this weekend so impressed that he decided to allow her to join him so they could explore the city together too.

Kunou was happy and so was Tiamat because she hasn't been there in a long time and wants to see how the city has changed since her last visit dozens of years ago.

"Why don't we go and talk to your mother Kunou about it?" Sephiroth then held Kunou's hand and led her to where he sensed Yasaka at. Leaving Tiamat to do her own thing, she told him that she was going to check on the familiar forest for a bit. Ddraig just went back to sleep for now.

Walking into Yasaka's office with Kunou, they see Yasaka drinking some tea while she is going over some paperwork.

"Sephiroth dear, how nice to see you" Yasaka says giving a pleasant smile but then notices something different about him. His aura had changed and has a hint of a dragon now curious she asked him why that was.

When she heard everything on how he got it, she was impressed by her lover who was able to essentially win over the heavenly dragon of domination. She knew that Sephiroth was destined for great things and this just proved that she was right.

They spent the rest of the day together and Sephiroth slept over while him and Yasaka went a couple rounds leaving them both satisfied.

*Morning the next day*

At breakfast time "Yasaka why don't you take the day off and we go on a date?" Sephiroth surprisingly asked Yasaka when they all finished eating breakfast.

She was surprised but she was extremely happy when she heard him ask her for a date, she had a very happy smile on her face. She hadn't had a date in a very long time and really wanted one with Sephiroth but she was always busy and didn't know if he would agree if she asked him, making her hesitate about the matter.

"Of course dear, just give me sometime to arrange things"

"Give me about an hour or so and I can get everything settled and I'll meet you out front okay" Sephiroth nodded to this and he watched Yasaka almost run out of the dining room making him shake his head at her eagerness.

"Onii-chan can I not go too?" Kunou asked looking hopeful on her face for his answer.

"I'm sorry Kunou but not this time okay" Kunou pouted when she heard that she couldn't go but understood that she couldn't hog all of her onii-chans time and wanted her mother to have some too.

"I understand onii-chan, well have fun with mother then okay" Then Kunou thought of a good idea and she would have Tiamat help her with it later.

Sephiroth nodded to her, glad that she understood and didn't put more of a fight about this. Unaware that Kunou had another plan going to be put in motion after they left for their date today. Kunou went off on her own and Sephiroth went to change as well for the date.

Back in Kunou's room she called for Tiamat to join her room for an important talk. When Tiamat arrived there she was curious what Kunou wanted to talk about that was so important.

"Tia-chan, I need your help today and it is a matter of grave importance," Kunou said to her, further peaking Tiamat's curiosity now.

"What do you need help with then Kunou?"

"I need your help to follow onii-chan and mother on their date today" Kunou said in a serious voice that made Tiamat almost laugh because of the look on her face and pair that with her small frame was just funny.

"I understand, when do we start then?" Tiamat just went along with it, she figured that it could be fun and she couldn't let Kunou go out by herself either.

"Good, I knew I could count on you Tia-chan, lets get disguises on then" Kunou then walks to her closest to get some outfits out. She had to find the best one to spy on them, Tiamat was wondering why this little girl had outfits for something like this but figured it was better not to ask her.
