Duality (DxD) (Part 1)

Ch 99 - A Different Friend

Azazel was welcomed into Jin's home as he walked into the dojo, briefly looking around and walking upstairs with Jin to the main area of living. To which Mittelt had already surprisingly made drinks, all placed on the low table Azazel sat at. With Mittelt sitting and holding close to Jin, sat opposite to Azazel who was drinking the tea prepared by Mittelt, who was slightly shaking holding Jins hand. But as Azazel placed down his cup of tea, he looked at Mittelt.

Azazel: Let me start off with saying congratulations Mittelt. From what I read before you were a Fallen Angel with only two wings, buts that's not the energy I can sense from you now.

Mittelt: I-I recently gained my second pair of wings.

Azazel: It also seems you've gained quite the husband too.

Azazel laughed as Mittelt went crimson and Jin too blushed red. Only adding to Azazels amusement as he laughed out. But Jin quickly controlled himself perfectly as the blush disappeared to Azazels, with Jin looking at Azazel seriously.

Jin: I could do without the teasing. I already have people that do that to me enough. So, why is the leader of the Fallen Angels in my house.

Azazel: {Ohhh. A ladies man. Though he blushed way too easily for him to have any experience. Interesting.} You'd be wrong saying I'm the leader. I'm the Governor General of Grigori. Not all Fallen Angels. Also you have no need to worry Mittelt. I have not come here personally to punish you. Technically you're still doing your job hugging so close to Jin, who is a possessor of a Sacred Gear. But what I am here for is because of that Sacred Gear, in the hands of someone that shouldn't normally possess one.

Jin looked at Azazel as he said normally. As if he knew of someone who does possess a Scared Gear but is also supernatural like Jin.

Jin: By your words "shouldn't normally possess one", do you know of another supernatural being with a Sacred Gear?

Azazel: I know of one on a personal level. But he was born with it. But you don't apply to his circumstances. So how did you come into the possession of a Sacred Gear?

Jin: My master and guardian passed it down to me with a technique he knew of.

Azazel: {A technique. It must have been similar to the magic we have developed then. But Sacred Gears are very hard to take out without killing the previous owner.} I'm sorry for your loss.

Azazel gave a small bow as Jin gave a gentle nod. At first glance and with first impressions, Azazel seemed like someone Jin was going to have problems with. But Azazel was both charismatic, respect for the home he was currently in and the people who lived in it.

Azazel: Now if you don't mind me asking, do you know what your Sacred Gear is?

Jin: I was told it is called The First Head Of Hydra. Whether that's its official name or one my guardian gave to it, I don't know. But it...

Azazel: Provides extreme adaptive abilities and likely a small regenerative ability. Correct?

Azazel said as if he already knew what the Sacred Gear did. Smirking as he looked at Jins slightly surprised face. Knowing the exact words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Jin: How did you know?

Azazel: Some Sacred Gear are made of creatures or with creatures sealed inside. I know of the creature your Sacred Gear was made of. {Though I can't believe he made a Sacred Gear from the heads of a dragon he killed out of fear.} I also know the story of the Hydra your Sacred Gear is made of if you're interested. The stories of the Black Dragon of Despair.

Jin shook his head, not really needing to hear the story of a dead dragon just because he had a Sacred Gear of one of its heads. In which Azazel gave a small laugh. It was quite a gruesome tale he was about to say so it was better left unsaid.

Azazel: However, I'd be lying now saying I'm only here to see a being at piqued my interest. I am now here to extend an offer. You see Grigori take in users of Sacred Gears and recruit them into our organisation. Receiving a home, support, teachings on how to use their Scared Gears and other benefits. We do this or the purpose of experimenting on Sacred Gears created by God, to create artificial ones of our own. I would like you to come to Grigori Jin. But not only you, Mittelt, despite your short stature I would say you've grown quite well. I would also like you back in a higher position if you like. If not you could always create a happy family with Jin.

Mittelt blushed a crimson red as Azazel smirked looking at her. It was clear what she was thinking. But when he looked at Jin, he had no clue. Jins expression hadn't changed a single bit. Looking at Azazel but staring into him.

Mittelt: A... a family. {I... I could have a family with Jin. A family with Jin. If... If I accepted I could take Jin away all for myself. I could have a family with him.}

Jin looked down at Mittelt and looked at her. She didn't even know she spoke out loud for just a moment. Jin looked at her without an expression on his face. Yet it would be a lie to say he wasn't feeling anything. His heart beating fast as he slowed it down.

Jin: What would you like to do Mittelt?

Mittelt: You're... You're asking me?

Mittelt looked up at Jin as he gently nodded. Mittelt looked at Azazel and then back at Jin. In her eyes she could see a family with him. A peace life with a family she never got to experience before. But then she saw her friends. Aika who was her best friend. Sona who she was really close to. Saji who she trained with often.

As much as she wanted to have Jin all to her self, she didn't want to leave her friends. Turning to Azazel.

Mittelt: We are declining your offer. It sounds like an amazing opportunity, but we have roots here and we have no intention of pulling them out.

Mittelt said hugging to Jin as he smiled softly. Looking at Azazel.

Jin: You heard her.

Azazel: That I did. I also know you've got to keep the wife happy. Happy wife happy life.

Azazel looked at Jins cheeks and the rosy colour forming on them. Looking at the crimson colour forming on Mittelts face. Smirking slightly at the two. An adorable couple by themselves.

Azazel: Though, if you don't mind me asking. You wouldn't be free on Saturdays to hang out, would you? {I've just notice. That foreign power in him. It's not just the Sacred Gear. He has a Blessing from Ophis. I wanted to keep him close since he seems interesting but now I have to keep him close. It would be a great loss to not have him view my side fondly.}

Jin looked at Mittelt as she nodded, meaning she thought it was okay for him to hang out with Azazel of Saturdays. Though Jin knew he was going to have to make it up to everyone else.

Jin: I guess so. Do you want my number or shall I take yours?

Jin said taking out his phone. As Azazel smiled. Both making friends with quite odd people.
