The Jade Emperor Arrives (DXD FANFIC)

Kiba's Enlightenment/Battle For Kouh

'Thought'

================================================================================

Everyone was following Azazel towards the research room, Azazel opened the door and Kiba saw Tosca inside a barrier. There were countless things attached to it, like wires and etc. Kiba quickly took off the wires on them. He grabbed the barrier and realized that it couldn't be broken.

Azazel: That's right, this barrier is unbreakable I have tried countless methods to break it and yet it could never be broken.

Kenzo: Really now? I thought that with your intelligence, you would be able to crack it open, as you have been studying Sacred Gears for years.

Azazel: Even with all my years, I could never crack this barrier. Her Sacred Gear isn't rare but her barrier is very special.

Kiba: Then what can we do? There has to be a way for her to be able to come out, right?

Azazel: I'm afraid not...At least right now, we cannot. 

Kiba: So you are telling me that after she suffered from the Holy Sword Project, she still cannot achieve peace? Are you kidding me???

Kenzo: Now, now Kiba, calm down... I think I have an idea. 

Kiba: Really?

Kenzo: Yeah

Kenzo put his hand onto the barrier and it began to disintegrate. Kiba's fists were clenched he hoped, no wanted for Kenzo's method to work. 

(10 Minutes Later)

The barrier had fully disintegrated and Tosca's eyes were opening slowly, the first face she saw was Kiba.

Tosca: Isaiah? Why are you so big?

Kiba's eyes began to water and he immediately went to hug her tightly, she returned the hug a bit confused. 

Kiba: You were inside a barrier for years Tosca.

Kenzo dragged Azazel out of the room because it wasn't appropriate for them to be there as it was a personal matter between Kiba and Tosca.

Kiba: The Project failed and everyone except us two was killed by the Church...

Tosca: Killed...*Looks Down* I see, we were happy there.

Kiba: Yeah, but Excalibur ruined it all...

Tosca: But why are you upset with Excalibur? It was our mission, to wield them... 

Kiba: Those were lies from the Church... I escaped with my life barely, and I had to become a devil to survive.

Tosca's eyes widen and Kiba noticed that as well. He looked down in shame because Tosca was a believer.

Kiba: Do you hate me now that I became a devil? The guilt killed me every day that I was the only that managed to survive.

Tosca: I do not hate you, why would I ever hate you, Isaiah? Also even if they are dead...They live on inside...The memories of them live on, the good times we had with, live on inside our hearts so there is no need to be guilty Isaiah.

Kiba: I-I-I-Thank you Tosca...

Suddenly Kiba saw his friends all around in a group hug, he felt the warmth coming off of them and they all spoke at the same time.

Everyone: There is no reason to be guilty Isaiah, we don't blame you for surviving, we appreciate that you are living for us, doing your best not to forget us but remember, Isaiah, there are others...Those others are the people who mean the world to you and vice versa...Don't leave them for us...We have already found our peace so don't live for us, live for them will you Isaiah?
