When Raynare and Baraqiel stopped talking it was pretty late now, so he took both kids to his home. When they got there, Shuri and Akeno were sitting out on the porch. When she saw her husband and her son she was happy they were back. However, she noticed the girl in her husband's arms. She walked up to him to greet him and see who she was.

"Baraqiel. Who would this be?" When he put them down she hid behind Kurayami. She looked over his shoulder and introduced herself.

"I am Raynare,"

Baraqiel explained why she was here. "She is from the orphanage and Azazel and Kurayami asked if she could stay with us." Shuri looked at her and smiled.

"Can you come here?" Raynare looked over and walked out a little shy. Shuri got her in a tight hug.

"You don't have to be nervous. I am Shuri and this is Akeno."

Akeno was looking at her over with interest.

"I am Akeno. Kurayami's sister." Raynare looked at Akeno and back at Kurayami's neck and frowned.

"I am not food. I don't taste good either." Akeno blushed like crazy and rushed to her brother and banged on his chest

"You promised you won't say anything." He pulled his collar back.

"Well look at this. Do I look like a steak?"

She blushed and thought of her dreams. They were so vivid and the meat looked so juicy she just had to take a bite. She just so happened to bite him and would not let go once. Baraqiel had to pry her jaws open. When Shuri and Baraqiel saw his neck the next morning they wanted Akeno to wear a mouth guard so she wouldn't bite at night.

She looked at Raynare like she just gave away her biggest secret. Shuri let go of Raynare and gave Kurayami a hug. She held his face and looked into his eyes. She checked them every day to see if they changed at all. She smiled when she saw they looked brighter than usual.

"As a man, you gotta keep your sister and Raynare safe. Ok."

He nodded. "I promise mother." She hugged him tighter.

"I love you, don't forget that." She got up and gave Baraqiel a kiss. They all went into the house and smelled the food. Raynare began to drool when she smelled that. At the orphanage the food was good, but it was not like Shuri's home-cooked meal.

When Shuri saw Raynare's look she also felt a little pity. No matter how good the orphanage was, it was after all a military orphanage. The kids were destined to join the war effort of Grigori to prepare for a possible war. Raynare was just one of them. Shuri smiled.

"All of you wash your hands. Can't have you eating with dirty hands."

They all went to wash their hands while Akeno wanted to know about his new sword. He had told her that Azazel was going to make him a new sword. He suddenly rolled up his sleeve to show his tattoo(Kirie's tattoo) and his sword emerged from it.

"Her name is Rebellion." She looked at him weirdly. "Her?" He nodded. "She is alive."

Akeno was going to say more, but they felt the stare of their mother.

"Kurayami. Why do you have that sword? Give it to me." He shook his head and the sword entered his arm. Baraqiel saw his wife was a little mad that he didn't listen to her.

"He is doing it for your own good. That sword only lets him hold it."

He removed his glove and showed the small burn on his arm. She looked at Kurayami and sighed.

"You know. Your common sense is a little lacking. Just explain why next time." He nodded and washed his hands. 'Sorry Rebellion. Looks like around her you got to stay in my arms.

Rebellion told him it was fine in isn't own way. He washed his hand and after that went to the dinner table where his mother served the meal which was her beef stew. In his past life, he an atheist as he never found proof. In this world was apparently, God was dead. Azazel told him and made him swear to say nothing about it.

He was not a snitch to say anything, so he wouldn't. That was why he didn't say who Raynare's grandfather was. It was not his place to tell, so he wouldn't. He began to eat and was always amazed at how good his mother's cooking was. When Raynare ate it she began to cry. It had been a long time since she ate home-cooked meals. Her mother was a good cook and loved to see her husband and daughter eating happily. They all looked at her and knowing she was an orphan it probably reminded her of home.

She smiled and kept eating. "It's great." Shuri smiled knowing that it made her happy. She looked at her son who showed one of his rare smiles. Getting him to smile was hard, so it was nice to see.

Baraqiel loved his wife's food as it always was good for his soul. When they all finished eating Kurayami decided to sleep on the couch. Akeno pouted as she lost her snuggle buddy.

"Please can you go with me? I won't bite you."

He looked at her with squinted eyes.

"How about you sleep with Raynare?" Raynare looked at him with wide eyes.

"Uhh. I can't. I am sleeping on the other coach. Can't be a bother."

Akeno looked at both of them and ran away to her room in shame. When she left Kuroyami sighed in relief.

"I am not about to risk getting bit again." He went to the coach and started to go to sleep. Raynare did the same on the other coach and slept well knowing Akeno couldn't eat them. In his parent's room, they were talking about what to do.

"Shuri. Kurayami heard us when we were in our activities." She looked horrified.

"What did you tell him?" He looked embarrassed.

"He told me that he heard you hurting me and if he can tell Azazel to save me from your abuse. He thinks you are hurting me."

She looked like she wanted to die of shame.

"What do we tell him? He must think I am some monster who hurts his father." She raked her brain for an answer, but no answer came to mind. They spent an entire two hours trying to come up with an answer, but nothing came up.

As for Kurayami, he was sleeping peacefully without knowing his mother was afraid he thought of her like some abuser. When he woke up the next morning he went to get dressed and as for Raynare, she was snoring loudly. His sword appeared in his hand.

"How are you?" She told him she was fine. He went back to his arm and it was morning so everyone woke up soon after. His mother and father looked at him like they wanted to say something, but didn't know-how. He looked at them weirdly with squinted eyes.

Unknown to him his mother felt he was distrustful of her for hurting Baraqiel. She wanted to explain, but had no idea how to explain this to a 6-year-old kid. When Akeno woke up she tried to hide her pillow, but he saw it. It had bite marks all over it.

He and Raynare looked at her while pulling their collars up. She began to tear up in shame and ran away to her mom. Shuri gave her a hug while chuckling a little. It was a fake chuckle, but she finally got the courage to say something.

"Kurayami. Could you come here to talk to us?"

He felt it was odd, but didn't see why not. He went to her where his father and mother were at the table.

"Akeno, Raynare. Could you leave us alone?"

The two girls nodded and walked away. Shuri looked so ashamed but spoke up.

"Can you tell me what you told your dad?" He tilted his head. "That he is cool?" She shook her head. "Something a little more serious." He racked his brain for an answer. "I want to be as strong as him?" This time Baraqiel spoke up.

"You told me you wanted to say something to Azazel right?" Kurayami nodded. "That mom hurts you at night and you like it." They both looked horrified at that. "It's more than just that." He looked at them weirdly. "So you don't like it?" They felt like weights were on their necks.

"I'm not hurting him. It's a massage." He tilted his head. "Sounded more like a spanking. We never even got those." Baraqiel felt his pride was being crushed to pieces. "Please don't tell anyone." Kurayami's lack of restraint let him keep going.

"If you like being hurt, does that make you take a hit on purpose? Is that how you got injured when mom found you.?" He looked shocked at that. "No. No. It's totally different." Kurayami decided to stop. "Whatever you say?" To his father it looked like his son's admiration for him was crushed to pieces.

He looked pale and hollow. His mom looked at her husband and saw how he looked. She gave him a hug to console him. "Maybe we try to block out the sound?" He nodded. "He thinks I'm weird. How will I look him in the eyes from now on."

She looked a little worried. "Maybe he will forget about it?" They both hoped that was the case. As for Kurayami, he was in the backyard covered in purple flames on his left side and lightning on the right. He still wanted to combine them both, but easier said than done.

Raynare was covered in dark black flames trying to control them. If she was not careful those around her could be hurt, so Akeno kept her distance. She too could control fire, but it was way weaker than either of them. It was the result of her mother's teaching.

She made a little ball of it float in her hand, but it just wasn't anywhere as majestic or strong as her brother's or Raynare's, but maybe there's a way to get a sacred gear in the future. Her parents didn't want her to know how it was done as the one who lost their sacred gear would die.

As for Kurayami, he knew because Azazel told him. He thought to get an evil person's sacred gear and give it to her, but what can he do? He may be strong, but he is still just a kid. He would have to grow older and stronger before he can do anything. After a few minutes of trying to get his fire and lightning to fuse, he gave up for the day.

Raynare also stopped using her flames as she felt exhausted. He got his sword and knife and began to do his usual reps, but his new sword and knife. He found that while he could swing it easily with one hand it was better to use two. It would be better when he was older and taller, but he still had to practice now.

Raynare had her training given to her by Azazel and he recommended she try to use strength training as sacred gears needed stamina. Her talent was very high as her grandfather was the Angel of Death himself, but not many knew who he was. He was like a secret that heaven tried to hide. He did something that made him fall.

Baraqiel got over his shame and went out to help them with their training. Akeno was not a close-ranged fighter, so he focused on his son and Raynare with their training. He helped her with her lightning abilities and the ability to make spears of light.

Kurayami could make up to 25 and make them burn or course with lightning. In Grigori, he was known as a perfect anti devil weapon. It was like he was made to kill devils with his number of advantages. Even Azazel was expecting great things from him.

While he wanted peace, if he had too he would go to war. Kurayami could be a big part of Grigori in any war. More so against the devils, but he planned to avoid that at all costs.
