Lucky Reincarnation (DxD)

Ch 33 - A Busy Universe

It was World War 2 and the Underworld couldn't be busier. Due to the massive amount war, everyone was desperate in the human world. A massive increase in contracts were happening. It was worse than when World War 1 happened. Devil factions and families were outstretched as they were being summoned back and forth between the desperate human. Angels and devils alike were also protecting the humans. Unholy Angels tried to tip the scales of this massive war and cause more Chaos. All factions were spread thin due to this. Haru was also helping manage and counter the Unholy Angels. Though he was also making a lot of money in this war, so he was making sure it kept its course and history stayed on track. Not wanting to end it too early.

???: KILL YOU...

The Unholy angel popped like a ballon as Haru punched the monster. Flicking his hand as the blood flow off.

Haru: There are so many of pests. You'd think they'd try and help the Naziz but they're just attacking everyone and causing chaos.

???: Danke...

Haru cast magic on everyone he protected as they passed out. Flying away. Not only did angels and devils have to protect the humans. They had to try and maintain their anonymity. Erasing their presence from everyone they saved.

???: JEMAND HILFT MIR!!!

Haru quickly flew down as he swatted away an Unholy angel. The angel becoming a puddle of blood. Haru looked down as the girl wasn't ok. It looked like a chunk was taken out of the girls stomach. The lowest rank of Unholy angels being disgusting creatures. But Haru noticed something. The girl had an abnormal amount of energy. The girls eyes slowly closed as Haru looked.

Haru: {She's not dead... Her families probably dead... She was screaming for help... *Sigh* I'll assume she wants to live.}

Haru held the girl as she healed her wounds. Carry the girl somewhere safe. Leaving a blanket on the unconscious girl, some food he took from a food stall on the way and money enough to last a year. Flying away. But as he flew away he had a thought.

Haru: *Sigh* Did I just leave a child by herself? Does she have a family or anyone to take care of her? What if Unholy Angels find her again?...

Haru struggled with his thoughts. Then immediately doubled back as he saw the girl still unconscious. Haru sighed wondering what he was doing as he sat down next to her. Taking his ring off. Placing a barrier up as he created one opening.

Haru waited there as one by one Unholy Angels were lured by Harus energy. Haru killing them before they could enter the large barrier. Squashing them with his Rulers Authority. Waiting for the girl to wake up. And after hours the girls eyes flickered. Looking at Haru sitting next to her.

???: D-Dad... your alive? YOUR ALIVE!

The girl jumped into Haru as she hugged him tight.

Haru: I'm sorry kid. I'm not your father.

Haru said. He began to feel terrible as the girl began crying into him.

???: Huh. Oh... he... can... *hick* can I keep hugging you though?

The child shook as she cried.

Haru: Yeah. It's okay.

Haru gently hugging the kid knowing what probably happened. The girls crying got harder as Haru just sat there with her.

Haru: It's ok. It's going to be ok.

???: MUM!... DAD!... THEIR...

The girl cried harder as she hugged Haru harder. Haru just sitting there. Hugging the poor girl who had just lost her family. Who was now left alone. She was now all alone. Haru placed his hand on the girls head as she fell unconscious. Haru holding her as they both disappeared. Taking her to a country that didn't really participate in the war. Inside an orphanage. Erasing her memories of that moment with him. He felt like crap that he just left her there. A country unknown to her, her family gone. It hurt Haru for some reason. He had left a child behind.

Haru went back to the Underworld as he went back home. Sitting on the side of his bed. Thinking. Grayfia came in and sat opposite. Back to back. Dressed in a towel after just cleaning all the blood Haru could still smell. It was silent.

Haru: I... *Sigh* I don't know what to say.

Even learning it in class couldnt prepare Haru for a war like this. Even worse that Haru had to watch as Unholy Angels, killed, ate or abducted people.

Grayfia: Don't worry. You don't need to say anything. But can I ask you something?

Haru: Go ahead.

Grayfia: After all these years of you waiting. Literally hundreds of years. Do you still want to marry me Haru?

Haru: Of course I do. Why?

Grayfia: Today... Today... I saw a human. A wife crying on the street. Wedding dress. Tears streaming down her face. She had just lost her husband to a bomb. Right there in front of her. Crushed by debris. Holding what was left of him. They're all killing each other. Just like the Devils did hundreds of years ago. She had just married him. And the next moment she was gone. Their relationship was probably three years more or less. And I just thought about you. How long our relationship has been. How I was putting off marriage because I wanted to make every moment with you special. Make every moment feel and last a lifetime. But Haru. We... we may not get a life time with each other.

Haru: Grayfia. We're not going to die.

Grayfia: YOU DON'T KNOW THAT! They... THEY PROBABLY THOUGHT THE EXACT SAME THING! HARU I KNOW YOUR POWERFUL. BUT... I... I don't want to lose you.

Haru heard Grayfias tears as he turned around. Hugging her from behind. Gently. Nothing intimate but reassuring.

Haru: Grayfia. I... I don't know what to say. I don't even want to think of a life without you in it.

Grayfia: Then say yes. And put it on the right finger this time.

Haru: What?

Grayfia turned around wiping her tears from her eyes. Taking off the silver diamond encrusted ring she had been wearing all these years.

Grayfia: Haru Gakia. I have loved you for hundreds of years. I have enjoyed every second by your side and I want to stay by your side. Body, soul, or ball and chain. So, will you make me the happiest devil in history, and make me your wife?

Haru looked down at the ring. Holding Grayfias hand gently. They both wanted this. Both wanting this now. Haru picked the ring from Grayfias hand and slid it on the right finger this time. Grayfias ring finger. Grayfia had tears in her eyes as Haru had tears in his.

Grayfia: Haru I love you.

Haru: Grayfia I love you more.

They kissed. Passionately as their tears faded.

Grayfia: I love you more.

Grayfia initiated a French kiss with Haru as they parted.

Haru: I love you more.

The kiss went deeper and further. Both showing how much they loved each other. But never moving further than 3rd base. Not actually moving further than they had already gone. Just drowning each other in their deep love for each other. An unspoken rule between them that they would wait till after their marriage.
