The Lightning King (Highschool DxD)

Chapter 26

I couldn't help but smile

(Y/N): Of course I'll teach you how to swim Koneko.

I smiled and went to the pool staring to walk in feeling her take a hold of my hand. I looked to see her blushing. Probably embarrassed that she needs to be taught something like this. Teaching her though isn't hard. Granted water isn't her strong suit but she seems to be getting the hang of it. Wait...

*click*

*click*

*click*

Why do I hear a camera?

I looked at where i heard the clicking to see the perpetrator. Kakashi. I sent him a glare to which he stifled a laugh and disappeared. I just sighed while Koneko started getting the hang of swimming. I couldn't help but smile watching her.

(Y/N): Yore doing great Koneko. You can wade and have the basics down. Now you need to keep up the practice of you want to get good ok?

Koneko: Y-yes big brother!

I smiled leaning against the pool wall as I watched her keep practicing.

Kuroka: You really got her to open up nya

She said as she sat down next to me.

(Y/N): I'm just glad the two of you are back together.

She kissed my cheek then laid her head on my shoulder. You looked around at everyone smiling having a good time until you heard a yell followed by an explosion. Wondering what was going on only to see Issei in a very suggestive position with Xenovia.

(Y/N): He just cannot stay out of trouble can he?

Kuroka: Seems like he attracts it nya.

???: The price to pay when one holds that kind of power.

We turned to see one Sirzechs and Grafiya both in swim wear. Everyone was surprised at this.

Sirzechs: Please relax you're all enjoying your day so I care by to say hello. And also to see my baby sister.

Rias: Brother! Stop that! Don't you have important duties you have to handle.

Sirzechs: Relax Rias. That's also why I'm here.

Rias: Eh?

Sirzechs: I came to inform you and Y/N that since Family day is tomorrow-

Rias & (Y/N): Oh no

Sirzechs: Yes I'll be there. Our parents will be there and Y/N, your parents, sisters, and your aunt will all be there.

Both Rias and I payed and the embarrassing adventure we would have in Family day.

Sirzechs: Also I've decided to have the peace summit here at the school.

Rias: Are you serious!?!

(Y/N): Welp there goes vacation time

Sirzechs: Sorry to spring this on you all, but this is what's been decided. Also Rias the time has come to release your bishop.

Rias: We understand brother.

With that we all spent a little more time together at the pool before heading home. However as soon as we got home Grievous was there waiting for us.

Grievous: I apologize my lord, but I must speak with you immediately.

I know he's always serious, but this feels even more for him. After getting cleaned up I met him alone.

(Y/N): What's the issue General?

Grievous: Our house intelligence as given us an alarming report. A large number of devils of all classes has gone rouge.

(Y/N): More than usual? I assume it's more than just fulfilling their desires?

Grievous: Your assumptions are correct as usual my lord. It's more like a mass defection.

(Y/N): The other factions?

Grievous: Not according to our spies. They report the other factions are experiencing the same. To add to that many known human who are strong in skill and power have also been reported missing.

(Y/N): A new faction? Or something else?

Grievous: I've heard whispers of a group. Not a faction. They've proven very elusive. Waiting for the perfect moment to strike. I've managed to find a name.

(Y/N): What is it?

Grievous: The Khaos Brigade.

(Y/N): Judging by the name alone they mean not to take control from the faction, but to sow the seeds of chaos. Wait you said they're waiting for the perfect moment to strike? That would mean they're waiting for a big moment. An statement or an absolute victory. The Peace Summit!

Grievous: My lord?

(Y/N): The peace summit is being held between the tree factions to make sure the war is ended for good. Two of the Maos will be there along with the leaders of the Grigori and Heaven!

Grievous: A perfect place to strike fear into the hearts of the factions.

(Y/N): And to cripple them all at once. Especially once everyone learns the dark truth of the war.

I began pondering.

Grievous: What are you thinking my lord?

(Y/N): We must prepare. War in on the horizon General.

He only laughed maniacally

Grievous: We will crush our enemies my lord! They are nothing to us!

(Y/N): Indeed General. Contact Asura and have him return immediately. I'll inform the others and prepare them for what is to come.

Grievous did a bow

Grievous: It will be down my lord.

I went out to the balcony and looked out into the night sky.

(Y/N): I've got a bad feeling about this.
