The Kitsune (High School DxD x OC)

Ch.10: A Past Revealed

Raizo POV

I arrived at my house carrying an injured Kiba. I entered to see both Kuroka and Ahri waiting for me. When they saw Kiba, they both got up to help.

Ahri: My goodness! Is that Kiba?!

Kuroka: What happened to him?!

Raizo: That's what I'm hoping to find out. Let's put him on the couch.

The three of us went into the living room, and I placed Kiba on the couch. Once he was on the couch, I went to inspect his wound.

He had been slashed on his abdomen, and the wound appeared to be sizzling. Kuroka then felt his wound.

Kuroka: The wound feels hot. What did this to him?

Raizo: A holy sword. Before he passed out, he mentioned Excalibur.

Ahri: Was he cut by The Excalibur?

Raizo: I doubt it. A long time ago, the real Excalibur was broken into several fragments. If it was the real deal, Kiba would be dead right now. All holy swords are toxic to devils, but the Excalibur is exceptionally deadly. Just one cut could kill even the strongest devils.

Kuroka: Can his wound be healed?

Raizo: Yeah, but I'll need your help. In the meantime, Ahri, call Rias and let her know that we have Kiba. She should be made aware of what happened to him.

Ahri: Right.

After Ahri left to call Rias, Kuroka and I got to work on Kiba's wound. It was a stubborn bitch to heal, but we did manage to heal him. However, it did leave behind a scar. Nothing we could do about that. Excalibur, even in fragments, is still deadly to devils.

After we were done with his wound, Ahri came back to tell us about her talk with Rias.

Ahri: I just got off the phone with Rias. She said she'll be here in a moment, and she said thank you for saving him, Raizo. How is he?

Raizo: He's out of the woods for now. But I suspect that he'll be out cold for a while.

Kuroka: So, where were you? I know you went to that summon with Issei, but you were gone for longer.

Raizo: About that, you'll never guess who's in town. Azazel.

Ahri: Really? What's he doing here?

Raizo: He got word that one of his lieutenants went rogue. And stole some Excalibur fragments from the church. And based on what happened tonight, I'd say that might be true.

Kuroka: That's bad. If this isn't handled properly, it could spark another war!

Raizo: I know. From the looks of it, he's trying to keep his identity a secret for a while longer, so we can't tell anyone else. Got it?

Kuroka/Ahri: Right.

Just then, the doorbell rang and I went to answer it. It was a very worried looking Rias, along with an equally worried Issei and Asia.

Rias: Where is he?!

Raizo: He's in the living room. Come on in.

I led them to where Kiba was, and as soon as Rias saw him, she went up to him and kneeled down next to him.

Rias: Oh Kiba...

She then saw the scar on his abdomen, and got a serious look on her face.

Rias: Who did this?!

Raizo: A man named Freed Selzen.

Issei: Oh no, that asshole?!

Raizo: I take it you've met?
