83 Chapter 83: The Dance (2)

With an outstretched hand Lambert asked for a dance, he put on a dashing smile as he looked into Aura's eyes. Even with the thousands of scars marring his face and body it could not hide the charisma Lambert had that was so deeply ingrained into his bones.

Aura was stunned, she would normally be very excited or be red-faced out of embarrassment, but this time she was stunned. Memories of how Lambert use to take her to balls so many years in the past came to her, he would ask her to dance with him even before she formed her physical body.

Aura took Lambert's hand, and he guided her to the dance floor where they started moving to the rhythm of the music. The song was peaceful, Lambert had no idea what was playing but he enjoyed it as he led Aura across the floor with grace.

Not far from where Lambert and Aura were dancing a certain redhead was also enjoying the ball, talking to her friends rejecting dance invites from all most every male student in highschool and sneakily taking peeks at Issei who was still dancing with Tosca.

"My, my who has caught our residence eyes?", a certain black haired girl asked as she leaned against the red-haired girl.

"Don't tell me you don't sense it Akeno, that boy has something special in him?", the redhead replied.

"You mean that little bit of aura in his body", Akeno said as she put her index finger to her lips, giving the redhead a questioning gaze.

"I believe it is a sacred gear, I have been keeping an eye on him for a long time, his name is Issei Hyoudou, if you were to term him by human standards he is very average except for his tendency to be a bit, peculiar around girls"

"Oh, so will you be trying to take him in", Akeno asked as she looked at Issei seriously, but the person next to Issei caused her to gasp. "Look at the girl dancing with him"

The redhead sighed, "I know, the problem is we won't be able to get her."

"Oh, has she already been claimed, I don't think she's a devil. What is stopping our great president Rias Gremory?" Akeno asked in a taunting voice.

Rias frowned, "You see that those two over there", Rias gestured towards a buff old man dancing with a beautiful woman.

Akeno looked at the two for a moment, she quickly past her gaze over the old man since he felt like just any other ordinary man if but a bit buff, but she froze when she looked at the woman, there was a deep sense of crises when she looked at Aura, and she could even feel the massive amounts of light energy int the woman.

"It can't be, is that woman and angel, but they wouldn't break the treaty and come to devil territory", Akeno mused, she was no longer playful.

Rias sighed as she looked at the dancing duo, "Yes the woman is strong but what is actually stopping me is the old man".

"What?", Akeno asked in shock.

"Mhhh, he feels strange, but I don't know how", A petite girl that was standing next to Akeno spoke in a monotone voice.

Rias nodded, "Yes, he is the reason I don't dare try and approach that girl as well, it seems she is a part of his family, and by all accounts from what I have heard he is strong, though to tell the truth I don't know how strong or what strength he has."

"So how do you know this president?", Asked a blond-haired boy, he has been staring at Tosca for a while now, she felt oddly familiar to him, he just couldn't put his finger on it.

"My brother, he told me about the appearance of this old man, and said to not provoke him if I ever see him, it was in one of those lessons he gave me about the powerful figures of this world. Apparently, he is one of the four leaders of some powerful, yet strangely obscure group known as samsara."

"What do you mean obscure?", Kiba asked.

Rias thought for a moment before answering, "Well, there is little known about the group, we don't know their numbers, we don't know the true strength of there leaders, we don't know how the fourth leader looks and we don't know where they are based."

"We know nothing", the petite girl summarised Rias's sentence.

"Do we at least know what kind of person he is", Kiba asked, still staring at Tosca, he had a knawing feeling that he knew her he just couldn't remember.

"Well from what my brother said, his name is Lambert and he uses light energy..." the group frowned when they heard her speak about using light energy, it was only natural since they as devils had an innate weakness to light.

"..., my brother also said that from what reports could tell he doesn't hate devils nor is he affiliated with the church and he had even opposed the church to protect a devil and a human."

"Ah!..."

"What?!"

"Cool"

Everybody had different reactions and the petite girl even praised Lambert, they couldn't believe that this man that was used light energy would protect a devil from the church.

"Yes, do you remember the incident with the previous caretaker of Kuoh town?" Rias asked. The group nodded.

"Well since Cleria Belial fell in love with a human and even shared some secrets with him while the human also did the same, both factions turned against them and they would have been killed if it wasn't for Samsara. I don't know the details exactly but from what my brother said and other reports, there were a total of two of samsara's leaders there during there rescue."

"I wonder how those two could have gained their help", Kiba said, his eye's finally drawn to Lambert.

Rias sighed, "I do too", she said as she, 'If I knew that I might be able to see him again', she thought as she vaguely remembered a giant of a figure with a pair of large majestic horns, but had a soft heart and would always play with her and Sona when they were children.

Rias stared into the distance, wondering if she would ever be able to see him again.
