So this came as an idea to me. What if Raynare was Akeno's little sister? Like really. I think we can say that we have read a whole bunch of fics like that. This story will follow along with canon except the beginning also with a whole bunch of changes. You'll see.

The Red Dragon of Lightning Chapter 1
Fallen Angels, a creation of God who fell from Heaven with impure desires. Some retaliated against their father for the choices he made. Some fell in love with women and fell due to their lust. Some fell due to wanted to being with their brothers and sisters. Choices are the ones that matter, and choices are the one that change one's life forever. It all started with an interaction between a fallen angel and a normal human woman. The fallen angel escaped with his life after a battle with his enemies. Although, they have a ceasefire between the three great powers; Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils. It was not uncommon for one of the creatures to kill one another. In fact, it was encouraged. Though, some want to change that and live because right now they are only surviving.
The fallen angel, Baraqiel, fell to the earth after fleeing from the battlefield. He fell and hit the earth hard and made a crater which made his body bleed like it has never bled before. Fortunately and unfortunately for some, he fell in front of a shrine.
Scene Skip - Unknown location
"Mmm….mmhm...ah.." Feeling sore, he struggled to open his eyes. "Where am I?...What am I doing here?..." He could feel that he had bandages from his legs up to his chest and his face.
It was hard for the cadre fallen angel to move since his muscles hurt. Every part of his being just...hurt. He went through his memories to see what went wrong.
Flashback
"LEAVE! GET AWAY FROM HERE! I NEED YOU TO LIVE" I heard Azazel yell.
"Azazel, I am fine. I can still fight." Even though I was saying that, my vision started to get foggy. I could feel my head pounding and my whole body aching.
"NO, LEAVE! YOU CAN BARELY STAND. I WILL NOT LET ANOTHER WATCHER BE KILLED FOR MY MISTAKES!"
Seeing his face, tears streaming down and getting so worked up over this. I knew that he was right and had to listen.
"Okay, I am going but be safe, Azazel."
I unfurled my ten wings and launched into the sky. I needed to get to a safe distance so I could teleport back to the Grigori.
I do not know how long I have been flying or where I have been flying. My only focus was to get out of there alive. The next thing that happened was a blur, I saw a dark red color that launched at me. I knew I was done for.
I could feel my insides bleeding, and I have lost too much blood. I had to find an area to heal and use my light to stop the bleeding. Although, spawning a light spear in my hand, I was too late. I started losing my strength and I started to fall. Gaining speed and falling faster. I gave my last thoughts to my friends and brothers.
'I'm sorry Azazel, I tried to get away but it was my naive and warrior spirit that couldn't leave you, please forgive me.'
'Shemhazai, I hope you and your wife have a good life. You are extremely brave to marry a devil woman, I will follow your lead if I survive which is hardly likely, my friend. I'm sorry."
'Good…..bye'
*BOOOOOM*
When I hit the ground, dust and rock flew into the sky as a result of someone hitting the ground hard. And I mean hard. His arms were spread out, he could barely feel his head as he laid on the ground in front of a tree...was it a tree?...
"Are you okay, sir?" A human woman asked, scared for the male's life. She found him all bloody with bruises up and down his face.
"Ahhh..please help me.." I pleaded. He was losing blood, and if it wasn't taken care of he would die. The woman answered.
"Hai, let's hurry. I will bring you to where I live and I can fix you up."
"T-thank you…" I said as I lost consciousness.
Understanding and remembering what happened, he looked around after the difficult struggle to open his eyes, he looked for the woman, who took care of his injuries, but she was gone.
Ignoring the pain he got from that battle he barely escaped with his life, he got up from a bed that was on the floor. Although, it was unusual, he wanted to find the woman that took him in and thank her for everything that she has done for him.
He looked around and called out. "Excuse me, thank you for taking care of me but I have to go now." He heard the shuffling of feet and could see the woman who took care of him.
He noticed that she was quite beautiful. He has seen a lot of beautiful women before. Knowing there were a whole bunch of fallen and human woman that were beautiful, none caught his eye like this. As he took a look on the beautiful woman before him he noticed, her nice stature. Her long black hair, her golden eyes, and the towel that barely covered her. These features of this woman were all eye-catching for the fallen angel. The sun shined brightly on the woman who would be his light. The ray accented her already excellent features to a point where he had a hard time controlling himself.
The woman's hair was wet. It looked like she just got out of the bath and hurried when she heard his voice. He could tell that she hurried since the clothing she wore made her breasts look bigger as they stuck to the woman's wet skin.
He suddenly felt something he has never felt in his long life. A heart beat...then a crescendo of a heart beat picks up. Faster and faster till it reaches the peak then dies down again. If it was love at first sight, he didn't know. All he knew was that he wanted to make her his and love her with all his heart. This woman made him feel different. Like there were no labels on love. They were just man and woman, not a fallen angel and a human. No, just a man and woman.
He was forced out of his thoughts when she spoke.
"It is good to see you finally awake." The woman told him. Baraqiel replied.
"Yes, thank you for taking care of me. I really owe you don't I? Should you cover up? It looked like you rushed here as soon as I called out." At this statement from Baraqiel made the woman blush harder than she ever has.
"N-N-No, I mean Yes..I mean ah. Yes. One moment." She quickly when back to her room and put on clothes. Her body was completely dry although her hair was still wet since she still had to host her injured guest. When she finished, she went back out to where he was and apologised.
"I am sorry for the wait, I think I should introduce myself. My name is Himejima Shuri, I am the shrine priestess at this shrine." The woman whose name is Shuri introduced herself.
"Well thank you again. My name is Baraqiel." Baraqiel introduced himself. "I am sorry I took your resources, I can pay for what I have used."
Shuri quickly denied. "No it is fine. And I saw the things on your back when I touched a pressure point. The are wings aren't they?"
"Yes, I am what is known as a Fallen Angel, I hope that doesn't change anything does it?"
"Ufufu, It doesn't. Anyways, I looked at your body and it was really messed up." She realized what she said and blushed harder not understanding what she said until too late.
"Well thank you Shuri-san. You said shrine, so that means we are in Japan?" I asked.
"Hai, we are in Japan. There is no need for honorifics, you can call me Shuri."
"I need to get back to my allies. It feels like I have been gone for a while. Speaking of which, how long have I been sleeping, Shuri?" I said.
"You have been out for a couple days, being injured that severely would make that obvious. You had multiple cuts on your chest that looked like it came from a sword. I felt your body and some parts felt like mush and there are bruises up and down your arms. I took the liberty of cleaning your wounds and changing you into a kimono." Shuri explained.
"Thank you very much Shuri. I do not know how to repay you for what you have done for me."
"There is no payment needed Baraqiel"
"I insist. I not only have put you away from what you were supposed to do but I took your resources from your kitchen and as well as your supplies for future events." I said and bowed.
"Ara ara, if I say there is no payment, there is no payment, Baraqiel."
"Well, what can I do to help you, Shuri?"
"Ufufu, you can help me make breakfast and eat some since you haven't for two days."
"What do I have to do?"
This encounter put their world into motion. As soon as Barakiel finished healing up, he left to the Grigori without first thanking Shuri for her care and housing him. He promised that he would be back to thank her for all that she has done for him in a special way. Who knew that this encounter would grow into something bigger?
Scene Skip - Grigori
"Barakiel, where have you been? I have been worried sick." A man with brown hair and golden bangs asked. Barakiel replied.
"I fell in front of a shrine in Japan, and this human woman took me in and took care of me. Azazel, I know I have been gone a while. But this woman, I think I am in love with her and I have known her for less than a week."
"Old friend, do what you think is best. You want to pursue her right?" Azazel asked. Receiving a nod from his friend. "Then do it! I believe you can. I will support you all the way."
Time Skip - 1 month later
Since Kuoh, Japan was devil territory. He had to get special permission from the protector of Kuoh, a pure-blooded devil with the name of Cleria Belial. She has been the protector of this territory for a few years now. When Cleria found out about Barakiel, a cadre from the Grigori. She was hesitant at first like all those in fear but soon after he told his story. She supported him fully, with the condition that he protect Kuoh as his home.
He couldn't go back till now, due to the ceasefire that caused this delay. Cleria Belial, believed that love could cross borders. What she didn't know was that this sort of thinking would find her one true love.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
Shaking his head to get rid of the thoughts he was previously swamped with, he knocked on the door. He saw the most beautiful woman greet him at the door. He felt something coming over him as soon as he saw her. Her beautiful eyes, her beautiful voice that would talk with him in conversation. Her clothing which consisted of a beautiful blouse and a skirt which were covered by a apron. She looked like a housewife waiting for her husband coming home from long day at work. Feeling a pulse he suddenly felt the need to hold onto her and never let go.
"Ara Ara, Hello Baraqiel it's good to see you."
"Shuri, it's good to see you too!" I returned the greeting.
"Shuri, I came because I wanted to ask you something." I asked. I was really nervous to ask her my question that I have been worrying over for the past month.
"Baraqiel, what is it?"
"Shuri, will you do me the honor and go on a date with me?"
As I asked my request, I closed my eyes and bowed before the lady who I fell in love with. I did not know how she would react. Slowly lifting my head and opening my eyes. I see her with her widened eyes, a blush covering her face with a hand over her mouth and tears falling down her beautiful face.
My eyes widened when I saw her reaction. I wasn't expecting this reaction from her.
"W-W-What? A date with me?"
"Yes, Shuri. Please let me have the honor of bringing you on a date. Ever since you took care of me back then, I have fallen for you. I know that it may be to early for me to be feeling this way but I can't help it." As this was said I bowed again and waited for her answer.
"Yes" she whispered.
"W-What?"
"Yes, I will go out on a date with you."
When she agreed, I couldn't stop myself. I took her into my arms and spun her around.
"Thank you Shuri, you won't regret this."
"Baraqiel, you don't have to worry, although when will we go on this date? This would be my first date, so I don't know what to do."
"I-I-It will be your first date? Well it will be my first date too, so I am as nervous or more than you right now. Alright today is Monday, Shuri, how about on sunday we go into town and go to the movies?"
"Alright. I will see you sunday."
