Past

As Shin was waking up he counted the bodies surrounding him

"Where's?"

"Miss me already?" Akeno appeared from behind him.

"Someone is early" Shin said as he kissed Akeno.

"Well it's a big day" Akeno then left the bed and went to the bathroom.

"You always do this" Shin followed suit but another blonde woke up and followed them.

"Well I do need to wash" Artoria said as she followed them inside.

___________

"Did you really have to go that rough?" Akeno asked Shin as they were still the ones who woke up since Artoria was exhausted once more.

"Hmm I do what I want, well I'll see you there" Shin said as he waved Akeno goodbye as he teleported at a Plain.

"So this is the place" Shin said as he stood near a grave

"Shuri Himejima" Shin said aloud the name.

"Who are you?" A pretty voice was heard.

"Why should I tell you?" Shin said as he still kept looking at the grave not bothering to look at the woman.

"I'm serious here" The woman softly replied.

"I'm Her son" Shin said nonchalantly but what he didn't know that the woman behind him was surprised.

"You're Aunt Shuri's son?" The woman's tone changed

"Of course, and you are?" Shin replied as prepared the things he needed to retrieve Shuri.

"Pardon me for asking but I've never heard of my Aunt Shuri having a son" The woman came close to Shin as if she knew he wouldn't do something to her.

Shin sighed and turned to his side and grabbed the Woman's face and pulled it close with only an inch of space separating their lips.

"You look like her" Shin said which made the woman blush.

"Have you had enough?" The Woman said.

Shin pulled her closer with only a breath between them, as they felt each other breaths, Shin soon let go.

"May I finally know who you are?" The woman said as her breath was ragged and heart beating fast.

"Shin" Shin said as he looked back at the grave.

"Nice to meet you Shin I-"

"Suzaku Himejima, the current head of the Himejima clan"

"I see you already know of me, how come have I only known of you now?" Suzaku questioned

"Because I'm not a Himejima and you look like someone I know"

"Someone you know? Who could that be? Unless" Suzaku crossed out the persons she knew of but was interrupted when.

"Are you single?" Shin threw out a random question out of nowhere and it made Suzaku snap out of her thoughts.

"What do you mean by that?" Suzaku cheeks reddened as she had remembered someone.

"No Fiancé or anything no commitments, a beautiful woman like you should have one"

"Why the sudden flattery?"

"I'm saying the truth here, so are you?"

Suzaku didn't know what to say and was about to answer but

"Tell me later, I guess you can come out now as I think you've had your fun" Shin laughed as he looked to a certain direction and a woman and man.

Suzaku widened her eyes when she saw who the pair was.

"Akeno? Baraqiel?"

"Nice to meet you again Suzaku" Akeno went close and faced Suzaku the two looked each other in the eyes and soon hugged.

"You really are a hunter" Baraqiel whispered to Shin "I feel bad for the Tobio boy, also don't target my wife"

Shin laughed but soon stopped when Akeno clung to his arm

"Are you two siblings? How come I didn't know Aunt Shuri had a son" Suzaku asked Akeno.

"No, he is mother's son, a son-in-law, technically he is her son, isn't that right father?" Akeno smiled at Suzaku who turned red from embarrassment as she had thought Shin was single.

Akeno noticed and spoke "Well he doesn't mind having lots of wives"

"What do you mean by that Akeno? I think it's already known that I declared something" Suzaku said but Baraqiel interrupted.

"I heard, it's not too late to change things, there's a difference between proclaiming and actually doing it" Baraqiel said to Suzaku

"I see, well this is a rare ocassion, may I know why you all have gathered here?" Suzaku asked as this was the first time in a long time she had seen Baraqiel and Akeno together.

"We're here to retrieve my mother" Akeno said as she clung harder to Shin and looked at him in the eyes.

"What my daughter said"

"So Suzaku do you want to join in? You may even get to know who actually did the crime" Shin said as he snapped his fingers and opened the portal.

"Where are we going?" Suzaku hesitated.

"To the past" Shin spoke as he entered along with Akeno followed by Baraqiel

"I"

"It's boring" Rias said as she laid down the sofa on the train, "I even packed a train hostess outfit!"

"How long is this trip going to take?" Rin asked the complaining Rias.

"A few more hours or so" Rias then stood up and looked at the people who went on the trip. "Everyone except Iris-san, Shiki and Raikou-san are here"

"Well it's kinda boring to stay on the same place so we wanted to come" DaVinci spoke as she came near and sat down with them

"It's quite rare for you to come out DaVinci-san" Rias said as she knew she always locked herself in the Laboratory at the mansion.

"I'm quite curious about how the underworld looks like here, same for those two" DaVinci said as she pointed the two Jeanne's who had looks of disbelief as they stared outside the glass window.

"There's not much of a difference for all I know the only different place is up above us"

"Well I hope to get lots of research Information regarding the state of the Underworld as Shin wanted me to help you and The Sitri territory"

"He did? And for what?"

"I don't know" DaVinci smiled at Rias

"Well Speaking of So-tan why aren't you playing chess with her along with Seek-chan?"

"Because she would destroy us" Seekvaira arrived as she and Sona sat down along with Rias and Rin.

"So there's three people now who can beat So-tan?" Sona flinched at Rias statement.

"Technically her Chess AI destroyed us, but nonetheless she still beat us" Sona then readjusted her eyeglasses

"We're arriving at my territo!" As Sona was about to speak something the train suddenly crashed.

"Buchou! There's something blocking the train!" Issei yelled aloud as Ddraig said he felt a familiar aura.

Rin transformed to Ereshkigal but was held back by DaVinci, She was confused but then looked at Nero, Artoria and Jeanne who nodded and transformed back to Rin.

Rias, Seekvaira and Sona rushed outside along with their respective peerage only to find a dragon waiting for them.

"But why?" Rin asked DaVinci.

"The Usual" DaVinci replied and Rin nodded as well continuing to watch the group along with DaVinci, Artoria, Nero and the two Jeanne's.

"This takes me back" Akeno said as she stepped out of the portal and looked at the terrain along with her father who silently walked in front.

"So this is not going to destroy our present?" Suzaku asked Shin as both Father and Daughter took their time in reminiscing the past.

"Our present? We're only friends for now if that's what you mean, but that can be changed" Shin teased Suzaku.

"No, the timeline" Suzaku shyly replied as he felt Shin was better at making her smile compared to someone.

"I know, in actuality this is not the first time" Shin then looked at the surroundings.

"What do you mean?"

"When I arrived at the grave I received my future self's instructions on how to pull this off"

"So you mean that we were already here in the past?" Suzaku questioned Shin.

"Precisely and that our meeting was bound to happen today" Shin then flicked her forehead to get her attention. "Is it fate? You may ask but it's for you to answer, come now your Aunt is waiting, and if you ask me well let's just say I'm inevitable for you"

"What's that supposed to mean again?"

"You'll know soon enough" Shin said as he tapped Akeno's shoulders signalling for her to guide them.

As the four of them walked towards the Shrine they heard noises and sounds of magic.

Baraqiel, Akeno and Suzaku were ready to cast their spells especially Baraqiel who had unhindered bloodlust as he still clearly remembers the day.

"I suggest all of you calm down, you guys can kill them later, they can't escape as I've already placed a barrier sealing everyone inside except the young Akeno" Everyone then followed Shin instructions as they walked carefully towards the Shrine.

Once they were near they saw various spells being thrown at a certain direction, when Baraqiel saw this he immediately dashed forward and summoned lighting towards the group of casters.

"This is why I hate cleaning up" Shin said as he snapped his fingers and immediately teleported out to gather the intruders as Baraqiel might scare everyone alert.

"How come you're so calm Akeno?" Suzaku asked her cousin

"Because I trust in both of them" As soon as Akeno said that Shin appeared with dozens of fallen angels and Himejima clansmen tied together in front of Akeno and Suzaku

'That was insanely fast!' Suzaku was shocked as Shin only left for a second

"Well that's for everyone who have to live, now You need to know who they are Suzaku" Suzaku nodded and was alarmed as he saw some elders from the himejima clan that had been punished and took note.

"Can I at least take a turn?" Akeno said as she transformed to her fallen angel form and lighting appeared behind her.

"Sure go ahead, I'll heal them up and erase their memory after this." Akeno then nodded and proceeded to make barrier so Suzaku can't see what she was going to do to the people.

"Shin, may I ask"

"Sure"

"What are you going to do after this? Do you plan to destroy the clan?" Suzaku was nervous as she didn't know how strong Shin was or was their clan strong enough to stop him.

"That would ultimately depend on your Aunt's Answer, speaking of Which" Shin pointed to a direction i which Suzaku saw Baraqiel carrying a lifeless body.

"Now if you'll excuse me" Shin went near to Baraqiel who instructed him to lay down her body and go over to Suzaku.

"So Child, where's Akeno?" Baraqiel asked Suzaku who pointed at an enclosed space.

"I see" Baraqiel nodded and didn't bother to ask what her daughter was doing.

Shin went near the body and summoned another one similar to that of Shuri's.

Shin placed his finger atop of the dead Shuri's head and made the fake body float to the site where she was supposedly killed.

Shin then clapped his fingers waking the now Alive Shuri up and about.

"Well you certainly are Akeno's Mother and Suzaku's aunt but where did they get that bust" Shin said alarming Shuri.

"Akeno! Where's Akeno!" Shuri frantically looked at the surroundings and saw Baraqiel who approached near her.

"Akeno! Find Akeno!" She stood up and ran towards Baraqiel as Shin nodded to Baraqiel to explain as he quietly went back to Suzaku's side who turned red after hearing what he said about her size.

Akeno who had returned from torturing went near Shin and grabbed his arm.

"Thank you" she rested her head on his arm while she looked at her mother and father.

"Why don't you join them?"

"I will, soon" As Akeno said that Shuri and Baraqiel looked over their side and nodded.

Suzaku who didn't know what to do felt left out but she soon noticed that Akeno dragged her towards Shuri and Baraqiel.

"Well time to clean up" Shin stretched his body as he looked towards the family of four and cleaned the dead bodies and set free the tortured people.
