Hello dear readers,
Thank you for many positive reviews. To answer a view:
Wildman90 Q: Why is the Shinto goddess of sun not about Yasaka? I thought she is her servent?
Yami A: This is Frankenstein speaking to Sirzech Lucifer. I do not know if you know the Frankenstein from the Manwha Noblesse, but that man is pretty sadistic and love to annoy those who he do not like. Also, this is his top10! If you use all the powerful deities from the world then a lot of those beings has a competition. Don't forget that many beings actually do not care if they are in or out of the top10. There are even other beings stronger than those Devils but never showed their face in battle. Look at Great Red and Ophis. Everyone know they are strong, but they place them on it nevertheless.
Xion The XIV: Thank you! Yes, I described it that way because in Mythology many beings claims the work of others. I know that I might hurt a lot of people believes, but that is how I see.
Akuma-Heika: You says that Albion and Ddraig are officially death, but how come they are still active through their Sacred Gears which means they are still alive only in a different way. For those two dragons I have plans because who would like to stay in a item and being used by others ... well no one like that. About those Gods like Zeus who you claim in DxD is a great idiot, I will other Gods from different stories or what I think the person will be. DxD makes many great historic or Godly beings an idiot while boosting the Devil or Holy factions. And about your timeline, my apologies but I really do not believe in Christianity being older than those other believes.
My reason is that I do not believe in One God create everything. I believe in cooperation, working together to form something and hence I believe in Shinto and Greek as example. So, my apologies if I offend those who believe in God of the Bible.
In the early morning when the sun appeared and her sunrays touched the earth the Nekoshou who were rescued by Hadrian slowly but steady returned to conscious. Their soul, body and mind rested. Several eyes fluttered open and took in their surrounding with a bit of wariness. Studying their surrounding until one of the Nekoshou, a young girl noticed something that brought tears of happiness to her eyes and a watery, bright smile. Climbing to her feet and her feet started to move. Running and stumbling through the group of Nekoshou until she fell in the embrace of a older woman who looks almost like a exact duplicate of the younger girl. "Musume..." The older woman whispered towards the child in her arms. "You are alive … safe … unharmed … I'm so glad that you're safe!" She managed to say before her emotion took the upperhand and hugged her daughter tightly.
The daughter and mother duo did not notice that now every member of their kind now started to look around. Searching for those who are so close to their heart. A husband, wife, daughter, son or any other form of loved ones to them. "Kaa-san..." The daughter cried out while she buried her head in her mother's chest. Tears streaming down both their faces and for a long time everyone enjoyed the moment that they all somehow had survived the surprise assault of the Devils upon their village.
Hours passed while the sun continued her climb to the highest peak. The cat youkais has now formed groups of family, friends or those who were already alone formed a circle to share their happiness and relief. When five hours had passed a sudden sound of a door creaking open resound through the large hall which got the attention of the cat youkais. When the door was wide enough to give entrance to one person. A blonde, tall handsome man stepped in the door frame. "A Good morning, I hope that you have slept well and found your good acquaintance or family members." The man soothing voice resound through the hall. "I can ease your mind with good news. Yasaka your leader and my Master has managed to rescue you from the Underworld. You may count yourself lucky that Yasaka and my Master has learn of this betrayal before it was too late. Questions might be asked later after you have a healthy breakfast that will restore your remaining fatigue and fill your stomach. If you please want to follow me to the dining hall."
The Nekoshou all glanced at each other, silencing communicating. After what looks like hours and which were only a couple of seconds they decided to trust this person. Their only reason is that they trust him for now is because of the Yokai Leader's name: Yasaka. Standing up and leaving the room in groups the cat people all followed the blonde man. Moving through the Manor they finally arrived at a dining hall which were already people waiting for them. "Master, Lady Yasaka I have brought them like you had requested of me." Frankenstein announced the news to the two most important persons in the hall.
"Thank you Frankenstein, and welcome to you Nekoshou in my Halls. My name is Hadrian Peverell and I would be pleased if you share this meal with me," Hadrian thanked and invited his guests into his dining hall. He noticed that they nervously move towards them and taking a seat around the large dining table. "I know that there are many questions lingering in your head but I would like if you put those aside for now and enjoy this meal with me and your leader."
Inclining their heads Yasaka people all gazed at her for permission to join their table which was granted by her. They all now notice that there were silver plates which were devoid of food, silver goblets which held no drink. One of them, a small girl with snow-white hair who has joined them a few seconds later spoke up. "Uhmm… Yasaka-sama… if we are invited for the feast, where are the food."
Her older sister who has raven black hair could only nod in agreement, only for her eyes to widen when food appeared in front of them on the plates. They shimmered into existence as if Magic was used, but those thoughts quickly left her mind when her stomach protested. "Arigato Master Peverell and Lady Yasaka." Her thanks were copied by her sister and other members of her kind and quickly they started to fill their plate and stomach with food.
Yasaka watch her people feed themselves which brought a smile to her face when she noticed that they quickly recovered from their negative circumstances in the Underworld. Laughter and a little bit louder conversations quickly grew from the group of Nekoshou. The Fox youkai turned to her companion with her smile that made her such more beautifuller. "Look at them, smiling and laughing. Their sorrow and fear washed away with each second they talk, laugh and just bask in the warm light they share with each other." Yasaka said. Watching her people just do what she just told her companion. She turned to her companion and started a conversation. "I've heard that you made a small village not far out of the borders of Kyoto region. Must I assume that this village is built for my people?"
Hadrian who too has followed the sorrow and sadness wash away from the cat people mind turned his head to look Yasaka in the eyes. He had heard her questioning and a faint smile appeared on his face. "Not entirely accurate that this village that I has started investing in is only for your people, Yasaka-sama. My intention is for them to move in this new village of mine which are protected by several powerful magical barriers. However this is also a place for a quick meeting between us, our friends. As you know, my servant and loyal friend Frankenstein is now Headmaster of Kuoh High School and would have not much time to visit and move from Kuoh to Kyoto. This village of mine lies between our respective areas and we can use it to take a break from our life and enjoy our time together."
"And spread our influence in Japan before they will probably try something. Probably using an excuse to claim a territory of a Faction and use that area to pull innocents in their conflicts of the Holy Faction by binding them to their peerage." Yasaka pointed out which she was sure that her companion would not like. She had learn when her companion felt that someone forcely resurrected without first asking for his blessing was a big No in his books. The way how Death paid back those Devils with their own sin was ...scary, yet it was comforting that he had rescued her people and was actually a really kind person.
Hadrian took a sip from his goblet which is filled to the brim with orange juice. Letting the cool drink caressing his throat while his eyes took in all the happy smiles of the people in front of him. "I am sure that the Holy Faction will try something like claiming a territory, but I do not put them all in the same ship of discrimination. Perhaps when we have our meeting with one of the Satans which might be a decent person to handle this unfortunate incident from the Devil point of view." Death toyed a bit with his goblet before placing it down. "If you have wandered the universe for so long like me, not much aggravate me, yet when these innocents died who actually do care about the Natural order. I felt such a rage when I saw their prone forms and few emotions that begged for my help. It was not only them that pushed me over the edge, no, you too Yasaka was a part of my emotions. Because we are friends I put your wellbeing and your love to your people my own."
Yasaka listened to her friend who showed a rare part of emotions that she would not have expected of someone who is actually a personification of Death.
"I had once a family, a wife and a child. My wife died young as she was a normal mortal being, gifted but normal in our kind of life. She gave birth to my daughter over which I watch and saw her marry to a loving husband. For centuries I watch them, an endless circle of bringing forth my line until people somehow connected me to them and they started to search a way to control me. When I noticed my family was in danger I created three artifacts to protect them, yet this only gave birth to a myth of the Deathly Hallows." Yasaka listened to her friend who told her a part of his history. "It was then that I decided to stay for a short amount of time away from my family in the hope that people will forget about my connection with them ...however this almost caused the end of my line. An old man learned of my connection and plotted to end them in the hope to get any semblance of control over me. Yet by that time I learned of my last remaining family and rescued her and we fled to Japan."
Yasaka stayed for a moment quiet. Her friend who had once his own loving family and descendants formed a connection. Giving birth of emotions to the personification of Death and made him more Mortal. "When you learn of my love for my people and then felt the disturbance in your realm ...was it love that you learned from your family that caused you to erupt?"
"In a way the answer to your question is yes. I and my fellow Endless has learn through the centuries about emotions. We do not always let them rule and control us, but we might slip and then something like the situation in the Underworld might happen." Hadrian said before pushing himself in a standing position, his back straight while spreading his arms. "I believe that the feast prepared by my servants has tasted well. Now that our stomach are full, I would like to announce to you..."
Yasaka smiled when her friend announced the news of the new village. She glanced a few times to her friend, seeing him put so much work in making a safe place for them. At the end of the announcement her people returned to their quarter and she noticed when they moved out of the dining hall that Frankenstein guide two young girls through a different room. "Shall we greet the young girls?"
"No, I do not think that is needed. I think when Eleanor and your daughter with their friends meet them they will add them to their small circle of friends." Hadrian replied, his green eyes followed the pair of young nekoshou.
Meanwhile current timeline in Great Britain…
Albus Dumbledore walk through the Great Halls of the Ministry of Magic of Great Britain. The Headmaster of Hogwart's had appointment with the new and now current Minister of Magic of Great Britain. It has cost the defeater of Grindelwald a few years to bring his plan out and a few blackmails, some unfortunate and mysterious accidents to place the current Minister as their Head and spokesperson of their community. Moving past the fountain that symbolized the united front of Wizard and the Magical creatures. Standing tall and powerful with its wand aimed high in the air is a wizard who is surrounded by centaurs who held a vase at which water poured out, cleaning the steps that led up to the wizard. Next to the centaur is a goblin who offered a bag full of galleons to the wizard which are followed by other Magical creatures. The wizards and witches who all daily walk past this monument do not look up strange that all these Magical beings actually show their servitude instead of showing equality. And like his fellow wizards Albus Dumbledore ignored what the fountain actual symbolized while moving to the closest elevator.
Stepping in the elevator which was already occupied by one other wizard who has short, wild burn red hair, his clothes which any other wizard wears already shows that they were already old and possible need to be replaced soon. Dumbledore smiled when he noticed the man. "Ah my boy, Arthur Weasley, how is your wife and children?"
The mentioned man, Arthur chuckled at the elder wizard. "My wife is being fine. She is glad that our youngest son will soon attend Hogwarts." Here the man smiled at the elderly wizard. "Molly and I are very blessed of having you as our friend. Without you we could never have send our children to Hogwart. But I would like to ask: are the rumours true … did the Minister truly void the Guardianship of the Girl Who Lived?"
Albus eyes twinkle at the man from behind his spectacles. A benevolent smile slowly formed on the Headmaster's face. "Ah yes, our esteemed Minister became worried about our heroine the Girl Who Lived. When the Wizengamot tried to place the poor girl in a good Household so she can one day return to Hogwarts we were fooled by several Houses that we thought well respected."
"You mean the House of Bones and Greengrass?" Arthur voiced out. "I always thought that they were very well respected. A good standing, yet using falsified validates and documents to kidnap the Heiress of an Ancient and Noble House is what I never thought they would do." The Head of Weasley spoke in a defeated voice.
Dumbledore nodded at the words of his friend. "Yes, a true slap in the face from who we thought are honorable Houses. Yet, those things were expected when you intertwined your House with those of the Blacks. According to the Ministry of Magic they will soon lose their status and all what their ancestors had brought in form of knowledge and wealth to their House." The headmaster shared the news with the younger man. "And the Girl Who Lived custody will be restored and returned to me. I would like to ask if you would like to bound the House of Potter with yours, Arthur?"
Arthur Weasley was astounding at this sudden question from a well respected friend of his family. The man did not mind to bind his youngest son to a nice, beautiful young girl. "I would not mind to bind my House with the Girl Who Lived, but not to shown any disrespect to you, but why my House?"
Dumbledore heard the sound of the elevator arriving at the floor that held the office of the Minister of Magic. The doors slide open and the Headmaster step out of the elevator. "I trust your House, Arthur, a honest House that could use some good fortunes. We need the Girl Who Lived back at the Light side. Goodbye Arthur," With those words the Headmaster departed from the elevator and left the Weasley behind, pondering about this fortunate news.
Resuming his walk Dumbledore move through the long corridor, greeting wizards and witches on his way. The Headmaster of Hogwarts had searched for a easy, manipulated puppet Minister that he could use to get the Girl Who Lived back to her birthplace. And found the elder wizard did. "Hello Madame Umbridge, do you know if Minister Cornelius Fudge is available for me?"
Madame Umbridge the Under Secretaresse of the Minister who looks like a cross between human and a toad who mated on one drunken evening turned her eyes up from the document that she read. "Hum… hum… Headmaster Dumbledore what a surprise to see you here." The witch spoke in a girlish sweet voice which would turn any sane person stomach.
"Is Cornelius in his office, yes or no?" Dumbledore demanded from the woman across of him when she kept gazing at him in a haughty way. His eyes flashed a bit with magic, a spell that Dumbledore had invented when he read that the wizard of old could shown their magical strength through their eyes. The Headmaster knew that those wizards of Ancient time were much stronger, yet with a bit of illusions he could pretend to be stronger than the average wizard, especially with his reputation. "Answer me Madame Umbridge or is that too difficult for you to answer?"
Undersecretary Umbridge shivered when she saw a flash of magic from Dumbledore's eyes. The woman loath the old man, everything about him is what she hate. Yet she knew that in the use of Magic she is weaker than knows that biding her time until she has enough political clouds that could help her in the future. "I'm sorry Headmaster Dumbledore, please enter the Minister's office." She croaked out, a bead of sweat rolled off the side of her head.
"Thank you," Dumbledore replied before stepping past her and entering the office of the Minister. Behind the back of the longest sitting Headmaster of Hogwarts Madame Umbridge was seething at the old man. Albus Dumbledore smiled benevolently at the Minister who sits behind his large, dark wooden oaked desk. "A good day Minister Fudge," the Headmaster announced his presence. "A beautiful day that begs us to leave this dusty office, yet duty calls us."
"Headmaster Dumbledore what a surprise but nevertheless you're welcome. Especially after you have done so much for me. Ah, I've signed the documents and they are ready to use for you. From now on you're the Girl Who Lived legal guardian!" Minister Fudge smiled at the Headmaster when sliding the paper to the elderly wizard.
"Astounding good news my boy. Now with the Girl Who Lived back in my capable hands the British Magical economy will bloom once more after the usurpers illegally stolen wealth of high standing Houses will be returned to us." Dumbledore said. "Now that we have a legal document signed by our good Minister, meaning you Minister Fudge we can demand the girl back to British soil and thrown those thieves in Azkaban."
Minister Fudge smiled at the thought of hearing praises at what he did for the community. Bringing the stolen wealth and the Girl Who Lived back to British soil. He, Minister Fudge will be praised as the best Minister Magical Britain has ever seen. "No thank you Headmaster for your quick thinking and discovering the false documents of those disgrace … Bloodtraitors."
"Goodbye Minister Fudge, I'll send an owl if I need your help." Dumbledore departed the office. His long white beard covering the not so benevolent smile which more belonged to someone with ill intent like a Dark Lord. 'Time to visit Gringott and claim the vaults with all their worthy possession and wealth because it doesn't matter how long it takes … as in the end everything will come in my possession.'
