The New Prince of Darkness (M!Reader X High School DXD)

Chapter 40: The leaders summit commences

After Michael had left, it was just me and Akeno left on the shrine. Akeno was preparing some tea while we were waiting on Rias to come by

Y/N: "So you came to this temple to do magic with him or whatever on the sword?"

Akeno: "Yes, we conducted a ceremony here that tailored Ascalon's specifications to Issei"

Y/N: "I see... Hey Akeno, can I ask you about the other day?"

Akeno: "What about the other day?"

Y/N: "When we were fighting Kokabiel, he said something about you" Akeno's look turned from a smile to a saddened one "That name he said, who's Baraqiel?"

Akeno: "My father..." I was shocked to hear about this even though I had suspected it "That's right, I'm the half breed daughter of the fallen angel Baraqiel and a human. My mother was a young shrine maiden, one day she found a wounded fallen angel and nursed him back to health, she did her job well. They fell in love and soon enough I came along"

Y/N: "*Sighs* I'm such a idiot, I shouldn't have poked my nose into your business" Akeno stands up, she lowers her dress a little to reveal two different wings, one of them was covered in black feathers while the other was of a devil "Your wings..."

Akeno: "Yes I know, one from an angel and one from a devil. Signs of my heritage I try to hide, I grew up hating my angel side, I jumped at the chance of becoming a devil when Rias' made me the offer to spite my father. Maybe it was my half breed blood but the results were a sad and garish mix between both types of wings. And what could be a better way to showcase my impure lineage? Some mismatched plumage"

Y/N: "I... I never was certain about it..." Akeno turns towards you

Akeno: "The truth is, I've actually wanted to tell you for such a long time, but you hate fallen angels. They were the cause of so much pain for you, Issei and poor Asia. And it almost killed you, not to mention their attempt to destroy this town and the people living here. It isn't hard to guess what you think of them..."

Y/N: "Your right... I hate fallen angels" Akeno looks down with a sad look on her face "But, your different" Akeno had a shocked look in her face "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked about it. I also shouldn't have made things awkward like this"

Akeno: "No forget I said anything, I don't want things to get weird between us" I stand up

Y/N: "Sorry but, unlike the promise I made to Michael, that is a promise I can't keep"

Akeno: "Hey you never know, my apparent congeniality could just be a mere façade, a tactic to distract you from the fact that I'm half fallen angel"

Y/N: "You know, your persuasion isn't really good at things like this"

Akeno: "Oh but it's true Y/N... I'm a terrible woman"

Y/N: "I don't buy it, if you truly were a terrible woman as you say you are, you wouldn't have helped and taken care of me ever since I've joined Rias' peerage, as far as I'm concerned your one of the most incredible people I could ever hope to meet" Akeno was surprised at hearing the words coming out of my mouth "Oh um... What I mean to say is, it doesn't matter if your half human, half devil, or even half god or some bullshit like that, for me whatever blood runs through your veins won't change who you are. Your strong, your smart, your refined and I really look towards you as an inspiration" Akeno's wings disappear and she now has a smile on her face "Man did I say that right? I think I did, did I?"

Akeno: "You can stop worrying... You said everything right, you say sweet things like that and what's a girl to do" A tear runs down her face

Y/N: "Oh shit I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry, dammit I knew I said something I shouldn't have" I continued mumbling to myself and while I was distracted Akeno ran at me and tackled me to the ground "U-Uhm... Akeno... You alright?" She whispers
