Madness: DxD

Pool Duty

Allies. Funny word, that. The implication is trust, shared purposes, but let's be real, who really trusts a killing machine? Even Gremory and her peerage keep their distance, eyes always darting, hands twitching in anticipation. They are no different than my targets, really. Flesh and blood, driven by fear and ambition.

Sometimes, in the quiet moments between the violence, I wonder if I could ever truly have an ally. Not just someone who uses me for my capabilities but sees me as something more. It's a wet dream, I know, because who in their right mind would want to befriend a weapon?

Xenovia: Please take care of me.

Legend: You request friendship from the one who has slain your god?

Xenovia: What you said yesterday about the church is true. They sent me and Irina on a suicide mission with few resources as if they expected us to die.

Legend: Interesting how a loyal christian switched sides so easily. What about Irina?

Xenovia: She... went back to Italy. I didn't tell her about the fate of our god.

Legend: Rias, why have you summoned me here?

Rias: To meet our new knight obviously.

Legend: In that case I will take my leave.

Rias: Wait! Don't go!

Legend: Why not? You have more fresh blood on board?

Rias: No. It's just...

Legend: How many times must I say this to you? I can't read minds.

What about your sixth sense? It's so developed that at this point you might as well read minds.

Rias: We decided to thank the student council for creating that barrier around the school yesterday by cleaning the pool in their place.

Legend: Why does that concern me?

Rias: Once our cleaning will be done we will have the pool to ourselves.

Legend: Good for you. Mind getting to the part where I'm involved?

Rias: *pout* Are you always so clueless?

I love that pout she does.

Legend: Are you always this vague?

Rias: *sigh* I want you to join us.

Legend: You want too much.

Rias: Wait! Don't just leave! Can't you- *Whisper* Can't you count this as a date?

Legend: You haven't earned the date for it to count.

What happened to whispering?

Rias: *Whisper* The meeting is guaranteed to take place this week. I'm pretty sure I've earned it nice and fair.

Akeno: I wouldn't mind The Legend joining us.

Legend: What do you gain from this?

Akeno: You~

I'm surprised you don't think she's a spy on a mission to kill you or something.

Legend: Fine. When?

Rias: Now.

Somewhere in Nevada Academy

Legend: Nice pool. Reminds me of the Rappahannock river.
