×Chapter 143×Returnee

*Dxd World*

*Underworld*(Grimory Mansion)

*Tuesday*

*Am/Pm*

*Early Early Morning*

All the girls in Haile's room looked at the mirror eagerly as it slowly but surely brighten up, they could see it swirling and turning on the inside like it's adjusting to releases something from within.

.""MASTER!!!"".

Suddenly from within an unexpected flying and screaming Tiamat flew out with her hands out happily towards Tsubaki who was caught off guard, Tiamat hugged her tightly as they both fell to the ground.

*Bap*

.""~Muuahh!~"".

.""~Muuah~"".

Tiamat kissed her on the cheek multiple times before stopping, then slowly opening her eyes and staring at Tsubaki, Tsubaki looked back at her stunned, everyone in the room looked at her and each other stunned as well.

.""Huh!?"".

They were all confused, Tiamat looked around, she got up off Tsubaki and walked around the room, even checking under a tea cup."Damn, that bastard forgot about me!!!."She said exclaiming in realization.

Venelana tilt her head."Lady Tiamat, what happened, did something happen up there?."She asked worriedly seeing Tiamat looking like she was looking for something.

."Hmm, oh yeah you all, no need to worry to much, Master is plenty strong enough to handle this, tho why did you all summon me?."Tiamat asked them as she went and sat down casually taking up someone cold tea, she breathed out some steam and it heat up again, she drank it casually.

They all looked at each other, the girls explained themselves, Tiamat understood what they ment, she too compiled and told them what they wanted to know getting away with herself as well, about how she was fighting the Gods, Bam, pow, poof etc.

~Few Minutes Later~

Venelana rubbed her chin in thought."So it was the Greek Pantheon, I haven't heard anything about them in a long time now, a dangerous bunch especially if Hades gets involved."She said in thought, but in all this she is helpless.

Sona fixed up her glasses."Yeah, the more I think about it the more i think we should just stay here, we would only get in the way and become another burden, I was in my emotions and couldn't think properly before, I suggest we not go."She said thinking about it seriously, 6 or 7 stronger ants still doesn't equal an elephant.

Koneko nodded her head in agreement, Nalisa as well, Akeno kept silent and objective, Tsubaki frown but she could see why but Rias didn't agree at all."I think we should just try, with our Forbidden Moves and combine might we might still be able to injure a God or two."She said as she clenched her fist.

She doesn't feel good just being here knowing that her Haile is out there fighting, possibly for his life, so she wants to do anything she can.

."Might I bring you back to reality Rias, I think those animes might have gone to your head, no amount of power of friendship and family is going to help us when the fist of a God is searching out stomachs for the food we last ate."Sona said casually poking out Rias bubble with a pointy stick.

Rias deflated, Venelana pat her back, Tiamat folded her arms calm as she smirked mockingly."Yes glasses girl is right, you all would just get in the way, I have no idea how you all are partners of master, you are all unworthy and worthless, a disappointment to the hierarchy of power."She said ruthlessly not beating around the bush, she had no time for that, she only ever goes around the mountains never the bush.

Instantly individually the girls all felt their hearts being peirce by an Invincible arrow of truth, for some it hurt more than others, but none of them poses skin thick enough to not feel the sterling pain of that jab.

Even made Koneko stopped eating her chocolate as she turned to Tiamat, Sona grit her teeth, she has come so far in so little time yet the higher she reached the further away she seems to be.

Nalisa look down as well, soon from now she will be a useless maid, she is already not of much help as all of her master's mistresses are as strong if not stronger than her already.

But maybe when that time comes she will just build a little cottage deep somewhere in the underworld and live the rest of her days there, she has no real goals to speak of but maybe helping people.

Venelana seeing all of them getting gloomy tried to cheer them up."Come on girls all of you are still young, you have more than enough time to grow into your power, she was like a million years old a million years ago, the oldest of you is less than 200."She said with an encouraging smile pointing at Tiamat.

."HEY, I'M NOT THAT OLD OK!!!."Tiamat shouted as smoke came out her ears and nose, she folded her arms and further grumbled under her breath.

Venelana cleared her throat slightly."It wasn't a diss to you at all Lady Tiamat, with age comes great wisdom."She said nodding, Tiamat definitely had alot of wisdom from those long years.

."..Are you mocking me."Tiamat said as her eyes shun a deep dark blue, her aura rose and her presence climbed.

Venelana put up her hands in surrender as she backed away."No no, of course not Lady Tiamat, I was serious, I've long admired your legends and your vast wisdom."She said honestly as sweat dripped down her forehead, this was a dragon king before her.

Tiamat stop as she said that continuing to stare at her, then she nodded folding her arms."It is true, I am pretty wisdomous and intelligent and beautiful and charming and strong and.."She said continuing on and on seemingly never going to stop.

Everyone turned to Venelana who smiled apologetically."*Ahem* so girls what have you decided, do you still want to go follow your man or stay here and wait."She ask them.

Sona looked at everyone who nodded to her."I think we will still go anyway, just to look at him and come back quickly."She said calmly as she closed her eyes pushing up her glasses.

.""There is no need for that"".

*Shhh*!

A calm voice echoed in the room as a bright light emerged from the corner, a golden magic circle covered the ground and spread out in the shape of wings.

Everyone widened their eyes as they immediately recognized that circle, only one person had it.""HAILE!!!.""They all exclaimed happily at the same time including Venelana excluding Nalisa and Koneko.

From the circle three people emerged, Haile standing in front, slightly behind him Hera and in his arms Melody, Akeno smile and walked to him before stopping as she noticed the extras.

Rias, Tsubaki, Venelana, Akeno, Koneko and Sona all locked eyes with Hera, who looked between them in deep thought, her eyes emotionless, Tiamat looked between everyone and quietly slipped to the side, she had nothing to do with that drama.

Haile released a tired sigh as he saw them looking at each other, none of them made a reaction.

Slowly Hera turned her attention to Haile who she stared at unblinkingly, Haile look at her as he held out his hand to everyone else."Hera I meant what I said before, I am not as perfect of a man as you have in your fantasies, I told you this when we last parted ways."He said calmly as he gently ran his eyes over everyone.

Hera looked down."...this..wasn't..what..I thought you ment, why...why do this to me...you know..what happened to me before ha.."She said with a dry laugh, she felt somehow betrayed again, but for some reason the love for him did not lessen one bit, it was just confusing.

."Welcome to the family I guess."Akeno said awkwardly as she waved at Hera who didn't even look at her anymore so she took down her hand.

Koneko looked away from Hera and went back to eating her chocolate and looking at Haile, Rias looked at Hera with a feeling like she knew her but she just can't put her finger on it.

Tsubaki was calm as she look between Haile and Hera, Sona widened her eyes in a sudden realization, Nalisa stood to the side casually.

Meanwhile Venelana was the most surprised and freaked out.'What is Queen Hera doing here, with Haile no less, what's going on.'She thought with suspicion as she waited to see what was going on.

."I know, but don't say I didn't warn you, cause I did, you were quite literally hunting me down yourself, it just so happened that all of this extra stuff took place, you can stay with me for the night and decide if you want to leave tomorrow, I have no hostages."Haile said calmly as he walk to the bed putting down Melody.

Koneko looked at her curiously, she got up and walk to her."Saved?."She asked pointing to Melody, she poked her face.

."Yes, it just got complicated after that."Haile said softly as he pat Koneko's head making her purr, he smiled, he felt like he hadn't done that in a long time now, even though it was just a few hours.

Koneko focused on Melody for a bit then looked up to Haile pointing to Melody."Troubled Life-force, umu...um..to much her body too weak to handle it, unstable and killing her inside out."She said after thinking for a bit.

Haile frowned as he looked at Melody, so it was his fault again, Koneko was a Youkai she knew best about all these things, he sighed."I see, thank you Koneko, I'll take a bit back."He said as he touched Melody and activate his most powerful ability.

.""Absorb"".

Everything looked on as visibly they could see a green mist like energy rise from Melody's body and into Haile's hand, slowly her previous zombie like expression began to clear up and she remained her previous glow and more.

Koneko nodded."Balanced now, she will be good."She said giving a thumbs up to him, she went back to sit and eat her chocolate.

Haile smiled at her then he turned to the silent Hera for a bit then looked away making her feel a strange pressure in her soul, she bit her lips in frustration.

Rias came up to him with a smile."I see you've given some trouble to yourself again as usual, I'm convinced you like it, hopefully you're not like Akeno haha."She said chuckling a bit as she took his hand in her own interlocking their fingers together.

."Ha, it's a joy to see you too."Haile said with a smile as he kissed the back of her hand rubbing his lips on it looking into her eyes.

.""Heh Move"".

*Boing*!!!

.""Kyaa!!"".

Sona seeing them all lovey dovey booty bumped Rias making her fly away across the room before stopping herself in mid air, Sona hugged Haile's back and rubbed her face into it, as she peeked at Rias.

."..Sona, I never thought you to be the spiteful jealous type, it seems you have gained a new trait since you met Haile."Rias said with a smile as she floated down calmly.

Sona rolled her eyes casually."Like you are any different than me, just not as smart."She said with a smirk as she push up her glasses.

."Ho, my dear Sona, if you want the fight, just ask for the fight no need to beat around the bush, we had been friendly rivals for a long time now."Rias said smiling as her body became lit in deep Red/Black Flames of Destruction, a feeling of dread covered the room savagely.

Sona watched her calmly not tensed at all, she released Haile and stood upright."Fight, umm, sure whatever you say."She said touching her glasses, instantly the room temperature dropped several fold as a black water appeared around her before crystallization.

All the others including Tiamat, particularly Venelana and Nalisa who just looked on casually like it's a normal occurrence or at least were not troubled by it in the least.

Hera raised her head in surprise as she saw this, she looked at Haile confused she saw him looking calm and unmoved, her eyes said it all, 'Are you just going to let them fight'....

Haile as if hearing her shrugged his shoulders, he wasn't going to interfere with everything they do, he knows they will not hurt each other so he had no worries with them, they had their own life to lives and ways to enjoy themselves.

*FShhhh*!!!!

Sona and Rias stood face to face, their eyes flashed as their auras rushed out creating a small domain between the two, they were smart to keep it small and away from the others, on Rias side the ground froze slowly and on Sona's side it got burn marks.

*Omm*

The tension rose as they smiled bigger and brighter, Rias made the first move, she lifted her hand and a multitude of Destruction Spheres appeared from thin air and flew to Sona as Rias flicked her finger gently.

.""How about a few of these"".

*Fshhhhh*!!!!!

Space seemingly warped as a sound wave rolled behind them, Sona push up her glasses as her eyes glint, calculations filled her mind instantly, distance, size, mass, the mass of magic average and how heavy it should be, velocity, she swiftly glanced at Rias facial expression to see if she was actively controlling them or just free hand or automatic.

.'Alright, pretty simple, now I can do that.'Sona thought at speeds unheard of, everything to her looked like slow motion but she knew that even though her mind was in this state of focus and calculation her body was also frozen in normal time flow, she could just think fast.

Sona smirked calmly as she move to an angle keeping her eyes on Rias, as she thought Rias eyes flashed trying to predict her movements, Sona smiled as she looked at Haile, she dashed at him.

*Shhhhhh*!!!!

*Boom*!

It all happened in an instant, a bright light emerged as a dull and muffled explosion sounded out, smoke blew through the room, as everyone put up their hands to block it.

Venelana had her face turned away as she sweat dropped facepalming , Koneko just watched on naturally, Akeno chuckled, Nalisa sighed with a hand on her head, Tiamat laughed out in excitement for what is about to happen, Hera looked angry.

Across the room by the window looking out was a casual Sona with a smile on her face drinking from a cup as if she didn't do anything.

In the middle of the room, was Rias with sweat on her face as she covered her mouth with her hand, she looked distress like a kid caught masterbaitin by their parents for the first time, she glanced at Sona resentfully.

Infront of her was Haile standing, he had a tic on his forehead as a vein bulged, he had a smile but to others it somehow looked truly demonic, his chest had smoke coming from it, he stood infront of the bed, he looked at Rias.

."I..I.. but-but-she..she."Rias stuttered as she pointed at Sona with unfairness, she closed her mouth seeing his expression.

Sona widened her eyes in surprise and confused."I did what, I was just going to tell Haile something then I changed my mind and came this window."She said looking like she was wondering what was going on.

."But-but we were fighting what do you mean???."Rias now was the one most confused, she looked around at everyone, Tiamat there barely able to hold back her laughter, was she fooled, she felt like their were pulling her leg.

."Silence, Sona let it be, Rias go sit."Haile said calmly as he dust himself off, he glanced back to Melody on the bed behind him, luckily he was here or she would be a goner.

Rias hung her head down and sat by the table silent, she will definitely be getting her revenge, soon very soon, her pettiness knows no bounds.

Venelana chuckled lightly at her daughter, she will be fine in a bit, don't mind the depression right now, she turned to Haile."So Lord Haile, might I ask who these two women are?."She ask glancing at Hera whom she knew very well.

Haile nodded."Yeah, um, this lady here on the bed is a good friend of mine from a place I used to visit, she was the person I told you all I was rescuing, her name is Melody, about her background I myself am not even that sure, I gave her some of my lifeforce once and that changed her race, she was kidnapped because of me and I rescued her back, the Life-force I gave was too strong it made her go mad, I knocked her out, took back some and here we are with her in this moment."He said softly giving a brief explanation and summary to just understand.

."Friend, you have friends huh, friends that are women, is that so?."Sona said with a strange almost dumbfounded expression on her face, she looked at him like an alien.

Haile's eyebrow twitched."So I can't have friends, do I look like someone that has sex with every woman he meets."He said holding his head high and arrogant.

Everyone just looked at him silently as they blinked in union, Haile ignored their expression as he cleared his throat."I would like to state my objection to all of your thought by saying that most of you are virgins still."He said to him.

The ones that knew that they still were blushed slightly as they face shaded red, even little Koneko, the only ones that felt a way about that were the ones that had theirs taken by someone else.

."Either way, we could leave that for later, now this beautiful woman next to me is one of mine, her name is Hera, God Empress of the Greek Pantheon, Goddess Of Marriage."Haile said with a smile as he looked at her.

Everyone greeted her politely, none of them were particularly surprised except Venelana she was still wondering how this meeting took place.

Hera nodded slightly to everyone but didn't really give them any time or energy, they were all pitifully weak and had no worth, she glanced to the only person within her eyes, someone she knew from before, Tiamat who smirked at her.

.""Now from my side, over here to start with my cute little Koneko, she is a Divine Nekomata Youkai, Goddess Of Felines, she's like my little sister"".

.""Next is Rias my troublesome girl, Goddess Of Destruction and Ruin and a Devil, little sister to the current Lucifer, Sirzechs"".

.""Over here is my Akeno Fallen Angel, Devil and God, Goddess Of Lightning And Thunder, a very sick and pure soul..."".

.""Next is Tsubaki, once human turned Devil now Goddess Of Reflection, Usually quite so don't mind it"".

.""By the window is Sona, Goddess Of Water And Management, little sister of the current Leviathan, Serafall"".

.""Next is Nalisa my beloved maid and princess of one of the lost clans of the Underworld, over here is..Venelana the mother of both Rias and the current Lucifer, the others are out at the moment."Haile said focusing on each person as he went around, he paused on Venelana but didn't speak on it.

A few of them raised a brow at something he said, Hera frowned as she looked at the girls again."All of them are God's as well?."She asked confused about that, she couldn't even feel anything.

."Oh, did I forget to mention I'm a Godking, I have my own pantheon, the Supreme Wing Pantheon, these for the most part are all my Goddesses, a few others are away, if you choose well you will also join me."Haile said smiling.

Hera sighed."Anything else important I should know, damn."She said out of character, what was she supposed to do with all this sudden know information.
