Chapter 61: Rias

{Flashback}

*??? POV*

I ran through the forest with Funus' gauntlet on my arm. I fried off Blackfire and Dark Pulse at the fallen angels that were chasing me, slowly taking them out one by one.

"Get her!" One yelled, "Get that bitch!"

I giggled a bit, hearing the frustration in their voices. It's always entertaining to hear fallen angels, angels, whoever, try to chase me down. I'm just way too fast for these guys.

"Partner, look out!"

I looked forward, seeing a fallen angel coming around a tree in front of me. He was swinging a sword at me, and I dropped to my knees, slipping under it. I turned and punched his knee, making him fall to one knee. I then grabbed his face and threw him at two other fallen angels, who fell to the ground.

I continued to run, as more and more fallen angels began to chase me.

"How did he convince this many fallen angels to chase me?" I asked no one.

"Pretty easily,I'm guessing," Funus said from his jewel, "All he needed to say is that you work with the head of the Gremorys."

"Thanks, Partner." I remarked sarcastically.

I ran into a open field, surrounded by trees. I stopped quickly, seeing as fallen angels began to surround me. They came out of every opening, completely blocking off my escape routes. I turned in a circle, preparing and trying to find a way out.

"Shit," I gasped, my breathing getting heavy, "I can't run anymore."

"Good," A fallen angel said, coming up with his sword, "DIE!"

He raised his sword to swing, and I held my gauntlet up above my head. As he brought his sword down, I closed my eyes and waited for the impact. I was instead met with silence, and then footsteps.

"You really need to be a bit safer when you're out here," A familiar voice said, "What would Y/n do if you didn't come home?"

I opened my eyes and looked at the red haired man walking towards me.

"Zeoticus."

{Flashback Over}

*Third Person POV*

Rias and co packed up the next day, preparing to chase down the lead they had gotten. The Shadow Assassins, as they were called, must be connected to Y/n in some way. And Rias was determined to find out.

She wasn't the only one, everyone in the peerage was determined to find Y/n. Kiba was worried for his spirit-brother, Koneko was worried for her senpai, and everyone else was worried about Y/n's safety.

Except for Akeno, who just wanted that big, fat d-

Moving on, Rias had heard of a man who knew where they could find the Shadow Assassins, and they were going to talk to this man. She had set up a meeting in a nearby bar, and she would go alone as her peerage stood by.

As she walked into the meeting place, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. There was something too simple about how easy this had been, from getting in touch with this man, to setting up a meeting, it just seemed too convenient.

Rias took a seat at the bar, and after a few minutes, a man in a trench coat sat next to her. He ordered a drink, and without looking at her said.

"Rias Gremory, you're late."

"I need the information," Rias said, "You'll still get paid."

"Here."

He slipped a piece of paper down the bar, and she grabbed it. On it was a single name.

"What is this?" Rias asked.

"The name of their next target," The man answered, "Find him, find the assassins."

He stood up to leave, but Rias grabbed his arm.

"How do you know this?"

"My employer is interested in finding theirs," He answered, "And that's all I can say."

He shook his arm free, and disappeared into the crowd of people outside on the street. Rias left shortly after, returning to her peerage.

"What did he give you?" Akeno asked.

"This."

Rias held up the piece of paper, and everyone read it, exchanging worried glances.

On the paper was a single word.

Ironwood.
