Chapter 72: Black Dragon Emperor Part 2
FACING THE IN-LAWS Location the Humanworld, Japan-Kuoh: Bael Residence, Krichevskoy Mansion; Backyard-Pool Area
Towa, and Sesshomaru were utter shock that the cool and regal like Setsuna, has just confessed that she'd has a lover. While Rin was gushing, and was eager to meet the young, red hooded jacket wearing man. But then the shocks didn't end there, as both Mizore and Kneesocks jumped onto Laharl, and presented him to their families, as their boyfriend. Shocking everyone again, lastly Raven pulled onto her mother, Arella's sleeve and she said in a meager and shy sounding voice, "Mother. His my boyfriend too..." Four punch combo, to all the adults gathered. As Rin, Towa, Tsurara, and Scanty went over to him, and demanded a explanation along with confirmation if he playing with their Setsuna, Mizore, and Kneesocks hearts. He smiles, and he'd answered honestly, "I love them. We're all in this relationship together, forever." making all his girls, very happy and blush lightly. But the overprotective mothers and big sisters, seems like their not buying his words. So Albedo decided to step in, and lead them to the table filled with food, and promised to explain things. Rin, Towa, Tsurara, Scanty, as well as the girls with Mizore's father and Raven's mom went to talk and eat. Leaving him alone with a frowning and bad mood Sesshomaru. Which honestly didn't bother him, while Sesshomaru is by far one of the most powerful demons in his world. In DXD Sesshomaru, he can be comparable to a high-class being, so in short not someone that Laharl has to worry about.
Sesshomaru, he walked over to Laharl. His grip still around his Tōkijin, and spoke in a cold tone. He said to Laharl, "So your the runt that took my daughter?" Laharl, he'd mentally laughed. Despite Sesshomaru being one of the cooler characters of Inuyasha, he was still a father. An a father of girls, so of course he'd be very protective. Laharl smacked his sword a couple of times on his shoulders, stay standing strong, brave, and proud against daiyōkai. Sesshomaru, hummed, and swung his sword at Laharl, which the young demon easily blocked with a gloved hand. Without any sign of struggle or adverse affects on the boy's hand. Rin, Towa, and Setsuna were shocked that he'd did that to Laharl, as Albedo reassured them that Laharl was fine. As she explained to all those gathered about devil society and its customs, plus all that Laharl has done for them and made them fall for him. Her words making her fellow peerage sisters blush, as she told the present families about Laharl's kindness, care, romance, and also finding a way to reunite them with their daughters and sisters. Suddenly Rin, Arella, Scanty, and Tsurara gushed at all that Laharl done for Raven, Setsuna, Mizore, and Kneesocks. Towa was also impressed by all that Laharl went through for them. And since her sister became a devil, Setsuna seems not only stronger but more happier.
Arella, she was overcome with joy. Her daughter was finally free from her father. Arella, she was free now. Her daughter can finally be able to enjoy her life, and this boy, Laharl, he has proven quite a lover. Going up against any obstacles to make Raven happy, and reuniting them for good. As Albedo mentioned that Laharl, has more than earn all their hearts and trust. When suddenly the sound of huge explosion happened, and as they looked to were the sound originated. They saw that both Sesshomaru and Laharl were gone. Setsuna and Towa smell the air and noticed that Laharl and their father's scents were off to the woods. Towa was first worried about what her father might do, especially in a modern world. But Cerberus spoke in unison, "No worries. Laharl, owns this entire area and the town!!" another shock, as Albedo now had to explain the status of Kuoh...
SESSHOMARU'S TEST Location the Woods Near the Krichevskoy Mansion
Meanwhile Laharl and Sesshomaru were running just by side to side, parallel to one another. Not a moment ago, Sesshomaru, he used more of his power on Laharl. Attacking him more seriously, and Laharl, he responded by blocking the attack, causing a large explosion to sound. Then both men were now in the wood, clashing swords. Laharl using his Vritra Zanbato to block all attacks done by Sesshomaru, while Sesshomaru continuesly attacked with his Tōkijin. Sesshomaru, he was starting to see this demon, Laharl, in a new light. As he was able to keep up with him, at the level that he was fighting, as Sesshomaru attacked with a strong, wide horizontal slash. Laharl, he parried his in-law's attack with ease, and countered with a punch. Sesshomaru, he blocked the punch with his elbow and he was knocked back. He could see Laharl was a bit skill, but it will take more than that to be worthy of his daughter.
Sesshomaru, he channeled his demonic power to unleash his devastating attack, yelling out, "Dragon Strike!!" As wave of blue lightning, in the shape of dragon rushed over to the demon, name Laharl. But to his surprise, the young beat wasn't showing fear or...care about his Dragon Strike, as Laharl drew back his massive sword, and in a burst of purple flames on that sword, Laharl struck. Seeing the Dragon Strike, rushing toward him, Laharl, he first used Flare-Up to increase the power and amount of cursed flames on his sword, before rushing forwards in such blinding speed, as he used his Blade Rush technique, to literally cut through the Dragon Strike of Sesshomaru. His cursed flames burning through the lightning, his sword draining the power of Sesshomaru's attack. This shocked Sesshomaru, as Laharl has literally cut through his Dragon Strike, and now was just in front of him. Before he could react, Laharl, he'd uppercut Sesshomaru. As he grunted in pain. Being lunge off his feet, flipping in the air and landing softly onto the ground. Laharl, once again placed his massive sword onto his shoulder, as he rushed in being the aggressor in this exchange.
Laharl, didn't attack with his sword unless Sesshomaru attack with sword. Focusing on throwing punches and kicks at Sesshomaru, until Sesshomaru made some distance between them. Sesshomaru, looked at Laharl coldly and asked, "Why won't you attack me seriously?" Laharl, he tilted his slightly to the side, answering Sesshomaru like he was asked a dumb question, "Cause I don't need to. And you're Setsuna dad, hurting you would hurt her. I'll never hurt her!!" Sesshomaru, he started see this brat in a better light. He'll admit Laharl is strong in power, will, and zeal. But he was still not fully convinced, as he said to Laharl, "I'll admit your strong... But...(sheathing his Tōkijin, and reaching for his Bakusaiga, and unsheathing it)...are you capable of protecting her?" Sesshomaru, charged in with his Bakusaiga, emanating a menacing bright green energy. Having some knowledge on Inuyasha, Laharl knows that the Bakusaiga has corrosive powers, so he must guard against these incoming attacks. Blocking all of Sesshomaru's attacks, seeing that Sesshomaru was serious he'll answer it kind...slightly.
Using his scarf to grab hold of in-law's leg, in a subtle fashion. Pulling Sesshomaru's leg, tripping him, as he fell hard onto his back. But not letting go yet, Laharl starts swinging Sesshomaru around. Smashing him into various trees, and then pull him in for a heavy punch to the face, finally letting the daiyōkai go. Grunting, as Sesshomaru got back onto his feet. Rushing to attack Laharl again. As Laharl channeled his demonic power through his sword and body, bursting forwards at Sesshomaru. Lifting off the ground, as he circle around Sesshomaru gaining more speed and speed, creating a powerful gust. Blasting Sesshomaru into the air, chasing after Sesshomaru who was trying to break out the wind, but he couldn't. Not expecting the power that Laharl could muster, as the wind was also making his keen smell useless, and Laharl struck from behind delivering a powerful wind slash to his back, making him grunt in pain, as he plummeted to the ground. Crashing hard against the earth, as he was slashed from the front by Laharl again. Knocking Sesshomaru with the force of his second wind elemental slash, before Sesshomaru could stand back up, he placed his sword onto the throat of the daiyōkai. Smirking at Sesshomaru, as he said, "Well, do you want to keep going, pops?" a twitch occurred to Sesshomaru, as he shuke his head. Banishing his Vritra Zanbato back into his soul, and offering a hand to Sesshomaru, as he said, "Don't think about sneak attacking. My scarf is inches to your neck." Sesshomaru glaced to his side, and saw that Laharl was telling the truth. Even when this brat seems he'd let his guard down, he was already prepared to kill if needed...Sesshomaru, he's seen enough. Refusing the hand and getting up on his own. Sheathing his sword, as he started making his way back to the Krichevskoy Mansion, he said in a low voice, "Hurt Setsuna, and I'll kill you runt..." knowing Sesshomaru's character, that was the best of acceptance from him, as Laharl will get.
ACCEPTANCE Location the Krichevskoy Mansion: Backyard-Pool Area
It took a bit for Laharl and Sesshomaru go return to the mansion's backyard. Rin rushing over at the two of them, when they've emerged from the woods. After greeting Sesshomaru, she went over to Laharl, looking happy. As Rin, bowed respectfully and graciously. Thanking Laharl for taking care of Setsuna, and being a good man to her. Soon enough Arella, Scanty, and Tsurara also came up to Laharl, as they expressed the same as Rin. Telling him that they're grateful that he care for Raven, Kneesocks, and Mizore, along with also loving them truly. Seems like Albedo managed to explain everything for him, and in turn he won over all the moms, but half the big sisters. As he'd noticed that Towa was glaring at him, while she drank some orange juice. Not that he'd cared, but it will be funny seeing the reaction of the students, when Towa joins Kuoh. Since there isn't any feudal era portal, and she'll need to adapt to a new school, especially with all the madness of DXD. Walking over to the table, and grabbing a burger, he called to Sesshomaru, "Yo pops!! Since your now apart of a larger world, want to eat and talk about your future rivals." again Sesshomaru twitched in annoyance at the brat's words. But decided that it was wiser to learn of this world, instead of ignorance...plus the smell of these foreign food was interesting. Rin, she giggled and guided her husband to the food.
All of them, started enjoying themselves. Daki and Kyoko were bonding with Rin, curious on of the true feudal era of her homeland. Raven, Kneesocks, Scanty, and Arella enjoyed some juice and good food. Talking to each other...since Laharl, did make sure to place some few restrains on Scanty...so Scanty, she was happy for her little sister, and even complimented her sister and Raven for snatching one hell of a man. Making said girls blush with smiles on their faces. Mizore, Cerberus, Albedo and Nero spend time Mizore's parents, as they can see where Mizore got her looks and personality from...especially when Tsurara did the same, stalking from a corner thing, that Mizore is known for. Nero managed to convince Tsurara to model for her later, as she was quite a eastern beauty, and inspiration for her art!! Tsurara, like the yellow haired girl, especially her little "umu" trait. As for Ruby she'd first tried to hang with Towa...but she'd bored her, giving some Rias Humanworld lover vibes, so instead she'd spend time with her Babe and Setsuna's dad. Laharl and Sesshomaru were eating some BBQ, and Laharl, he told him straight out that in this world he was a big deal. As he explained the level cast of power, and even with him being stronger, Laharl, he admitted he was still a big fish in a big ocean. Sesshomaru, he was interested in facing off against these powerful devils and youkai of this world. He was secretly grateful that Laharl offered part of his land to live with Rin, and Towa can have her own place. Speaking of his eldest daughter, she was reconnecting with her younger-older sister, since this world she'd aged more than Towa.
Towa was demanding answers from Setsuna, on why she'd choose a guy like Laharl? But Setsuna, she'd gave the look of a maiden. She'd started telling Towa of her experiences, being ascended to a devil, like western culture. Growing stronger and finding more friend. Towa will admit Cerberus, Albedo, Mizore, Nero, Kyoko, and Raven were good girls, and she can see herself forming good friendships with them. But Daki and Ruby, they'd gave her a weird vibe for some reason. While, Towa, she was happy Setsuna was okay, after disappearing out of thin air, she'd never expected she'd be transported to a whole another world. And she was grateful that Laharl, and those girls open their home to Setsuna, she couldn't accept Laharl yet. She has to see what kind of man or devil that Laharl is...as she looked over of the mention guy, talking to her father. This is a whole new world, but at least she was with family...she'll get through it with them, as Setsuna offered her a burger. Seems that Setsuna has become, quite the foodie, while she was gone, as Towa accepted the burger and ate with her sister.
