The Black Dragon

Ten Days of Hell (Part 1)

The group except for Zato himself looks at Hinata in complete shock. Not only had none of them managed to sense her, but it was anyone else they would have gravely wounded maybe even killed Zato, seeing as how that knife came pretty close to piercing his neck

"Why the hell are you here?" Zato asks as Hinata moves her gaze to look at him. She removes her cigarette from her mouth and lets out a large cloud of smoke

"Well, you don't call or text so I decided to visit your anti-social ass." Hinata then looks at Rias and the others out the corner of her eye. "Well, I guess since you're actually hanging out with others I should say your ex anti-social ass," Hinata tells Zato

"If I may, how did you even find us?" Rias asks carefully. "The only ones who know the location of this manor are my family," Rias tells Hinata who just shrugs her shoulders.

"I used my motherly instincts," Hinata says without a care in the world.

"I better not have a fucking chip or some shit in me!" Zato shouts but Hinata just ignores him.

"Anyway, what are you doing hanging out a group of devils boy?" Hinata asks as she turns to face Zato.

"You, know what we are?" Rias asks

"Anyone who has even the faintest idea of the supernatural would." Hinata answers. "So what's the story?"

"They agreed to help me and in return, I agreed to help them," Zato says real short and sweet.

"Just like you. Even if you don't want to you always keep your word. It's your only real redeeming quality." Hinata says with a sigh.

"Well seeing as how before I jumped in Zato had just finished mopping the floors with those two, so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you're all training for some kind of fight," Hinata says and this stuns the devils due to how dead-on she is.

"Right, see we're going up against Riser Ph-" Rias doesn't get to finish before Hinata cuts her off.

"Sorry I don't want the long version. Zato, give me the short version." Hinata demands

"Rias is engaged to an arrogant asshole and to stop the wedding we need to kick his ass," Zato explains. "The only problem is I'm the only one who really stands a chance because the rest of them are kind of, um..." Zato pauses trying to think of the right word to use.

"Don't sugarcoat it, pathetic is the word you're looking for," Hinata answers while stabbing her sword into the ground.

"I was actually gonna say hopeless but pathetic works too." Zato shrugs

"How long do you all have before this fight?" Hinata asks as she leans on her sword

"We have ten days ma' ma." Akeno answers

"Ten days?" Hinata repeats. "Well you aren't gonna get much stronger by just sparring or doing whatever bullshit you had planned, so there's only one thing I can do." Hinata states as Rias grows curios.

"What's that?" Rias asks

"Teach you tap dancing, the fuck do you think! I'm training you little shits for the next ten-days!" Hinata shows as she takes her sword from the ground and points it at Rias. Rias takes a step back to put some distance between her and the sword directed at her. "Ok lessen up, from this moment on you are all my students! You two are gonna feel like your limbs are being torn apart muscle by muscle!" Hinata shouts while pointing at Kiba and Koneko. "As for you three, I honestly don't give a shit what you do," Hinata tells the three remaining girls in a rather calm tone.

"Wait, what? Why aren't we receiving any training?" Rias quickly asks as Hinata just looks the three over, from head to toe.

"Look I don't really fuck with magic, I use it very minutely. If he wasn't busy I would call my husband since he's much more into magic than me. I only use magic to summon weapons so I can't fucking help you. So run along and do whatever you do to train." Hinata says as she tuns to Koneko, Kiba and Zato.
