As he watched her leave the party, Alex followed Koneko and saw her get onto the elevator. He got onto the next one, and unsurprisingly was joined by Rias."And where do you think you"re going?" She asked.
"To pick a fight." Alex replied simply. Rias looked confused, but since he decided not to alert anyone trusted his judgment and went with him. When they reached the bottom floor they saw Koneko leave the hotel. When she saw it was Koneko that Alex was following, Rias became much more concerned. Though they quickly lost sight of Koneko, Alex had been training with her while practicing his ki sensing, he couldn"t lose her even if he wanted to. After walking through the woods after her for several minutes, the two same to a clearing where they saw Koneko talking to an older woman wearing a black kimono with black hair, cat ears and a tail.
"Oh, what have we here, Gremory and the red dragonyan?" After she mentioned them Bikou stepped out from the tree line where he was hiding.
"Yo red dragon, get any stronger since then? Vali would probably like to know, but I also want to try a crack at you." Alex got annoyed when Bikou mentioned his last fight with Vali, as he was forced to stop until he didn"t have to worry about the moon. Kuroka then also spoke up,
"Hey Bikou, we didn"t come to fight, I just wanted to see the party Nyan. But I might as well take Shirone with me now that I have her back. Though I suppose we might have to kill the two of them if they do something troublesome Nyan." It seemed as if Kuroka wasn"t willing to fight them just yet, but changed her mind at the last moment. She then made the barrier trapping them all in that section of the forest. At that moment,
"I heard that Rias Gremory and Alex were seen leaving the party, but to think I"ll be caught in a barrier." Tannin said from the sky.
"Oh if it isn"t the blaze meteor dragon, Tannin." Bikou looked even more excited at the thought of fighting both Alex and a former dragon King.
"Oh the descendant of the original sun Goku, I suppose you"ll be my opponent." The two then flew off to start their own fight, while they were though Alex kept hearing monkey this and monkey that. He couldn"t help thinking, "doesn"t that apply to me as well?" After they left, Kuroka then spoke up again,
"Well then I"ll take Shirone back and be on my way, as for the monkey I"ll just leave him here." Rias stood in front of Koneko and said,
"After you left this girl went through h.e.l.l, all her emotions were killed thanks to her being blamed for your actions. I won"t let you take her." Kuroka glared at Rias and replied,
"I want her to use her power, I can teach her to use it better than you, you know nyan." Koneko was about to say something but Alex stepped forward,
"Cut the bulls.h.i.t." All three looked surprised at his words, but before they could say anything he continued.
"You love her more than anything, don"t pretend otherwise. And tell her the truth, the reason you killed your master wasn"t losing control, it was to protect her from his perversion and experiments." All three were stunned at Alex"s words, but none more so than Kuroka.
"How do you know that?" She asked with genuine confusion. Rias didn"t say anything as she was aware of his background, but to Koneko the suspicion he placed in her was clicking into place. Alex replied to Kuroka,
"I know things, it"s what I do. But I also know that you deserve to be punished for leaving her to face the punishment for what you did." Though she was confused at his words, Kuroka also grew mad that he called her out on her lies, and for saying she deserved punishment. She made several copies of herself and surrounded them.
"I don"t know how you knew those things, but don"t think it"ll stop me from taking care of you." Her verbal tick completely gone from fury, Kuroka"s clones started to attack them. Alex dispelled the gravity on himself, and rushed to one. His fist stopped a few mere inches from her face, and the trees behind collapsed from the pressure. The clones disappeared and the one he nearly punched collapsed from fear.
"I"ve also been practicing senjutsu since my fight with Vali, don"t think I"ll be tricked by your little look a likes. I"ll leave you for now, but next time you need to seriously discuss these things with Koneko. I said that you deserve punishment, I think it"s enough that you will have to wait a while longer before truly reuniting with her." Kuroka looked as if she was about to say something, but a sudden tear in the air stopped her from doing so. A man stepped out wearing a suit and gla.s.ses, and holding an oppressive holy sword with another one strapped to his back.
"Arthur pendragon." Alex said, much to everyone"s surprise again. He shrugged and said,
"I told you, I know things." Arthur looked at him with curiosity, before turning to Kuroka and Bikou who returned from his fight covered in soot, with Tannin right behind him. Arthur then said to his comrades,
"Seriously, what are you two doing here? I came because you were taking a while, but we need to leave now. Red dragon, please give my regards to the holy demonic sword user and the wielder of durandal." The two looked as if they wanted to argue, but didn"t as they all disappeared into the tear. Kuroka gave one last look of concern at Koneko, not hiding her feelings for once, and a look of interest at Alex. Alex turned to Koneko who looked as if she wants to ask him what he was talking about, but he said,
"What happened is between you and your sister, I shouldn"t have said as much as I did but I thought it was the best way to avoid unnecessary issues. We"ll probably see her again in the near future, so question here then." Koneko nodded at his words, with a new determination on her face. Alex and the others then made their way back to the party where they informed the higher ups of what happened. Due to the attack the party was cancelled.
