34 Abrupt dinner

In the middle of a murky day, on a clear field of grass with few trees standing nearby. A blonde high-school girl could be seen running with tears streaked down her face, her eye-shadow was ruined and she was completely hysterical.

"HELP! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!" she cried out to no avail despite it being a park in the middle of the day.

Behind her a masked figure could be seen nonchalantly walking towards the girl. His large frame was covered in a brown jacket and casual jeans. He wore a hockey mask to cover his face as he kept a firm grip on his machete. He was obviously in no hurry as he continued to keep up with the running high-schooler despite just walking.

"HEL-AHH" the girl attempted to call for help again but was cut off as she fell to the ground. The killer stopped for a moment as he looked at the downed girl.

"AH" she collapsed to the ground again before she could get all the way up.

The murderer continued to stand there passively as the girl continued to try and stand but to no avail. He turned his gaze to his side to a crimson haired teenager donned in black robes with a sword strapped to his waist as he too looked in surprise at the girl on the ground.

"You see what I mean?" the killer said as he pointed his machete towards the girl currently failing to stand back up.

"I.... I honestly don't know how she fell over. There was nothing to trip over!" Shiro admitted as he saw the girl finally get up to begin running again only to trip on air once again leaving him stupefied as he stared with his mouth open.

"This happens every time and did you notice that despite the fact that she was running, I was able to keep up with her while walking?" The hockey-masked killer ranted as the shinigami was trying to figure out what was going on

The red-head just scratched his head as he wasn't sure what was happening, the girl even lost her shoe as she fell down. He was called here by the serial killer and requested to investigate why all his victims seem to either trip or make it way too easy for him to kill them.

"System any ideas?" he finally gave up as he asked for an analysis

[System detects high traces of Fate in the area. The Fate is mostly concentrated around the summoner] the disembodied voice explained

"Well there you have it" Shiro said as he relayed the system's conjectures

"Fate huh? So I guess I should just kill her then?" the killer was unsure of accepting fate as an explanation

"I guess so, well I'll just get out of your way. She's practically asking to di-" the shinigami didn't get to finish as he too somehow fell down despite not moving or being pushed by anything.

"...." the silence continued as the killer looked down to his fallen companion

"Like I said, Fate...." Shiro said blankly as he started to leave through a magic circle leaving the girl to her 'Fate'

"You're still holding back" The blonde knight commented a bit annoyed as he continued to clash blades with the shinigami who was on the defensive

"Not really, it's just I generally rely on power instead of technique to win my fights" Shiro replied as he continued to deflect Arthur's relentless assault. It was the truth, he usually just either used ice magic or his flames to win his fights.

"Well here's a tip, you should always pay attention to your surroundings HAAH!" the knight roared as he forced the shinigami back. Behind the crimsonette, a sound resounded throughout the dojo followed by the thud of someone hitting the floor [DIVIDE!].

"What?!" Arthur exclaimed as he looked at the downed form of the vanishing dragon who seemed to be twitching.

"Oh, he tried to literally divide infinity. So he took a lot more than he could take" Shiro commented as he looked at the downed Vali.

"Will he be alright?" the knight voiced his concerns

Shiro scratched his head "I think so?" the vanishing dragon's wings continued to filter out large amounts of energy but he wasn't sure how long it would take for him to stabilize.

Shiro noted a black haired loli dragon walk up to the form of the twitching vanishing dragon. She brought up her hand as a loud smack was heard.

"Did you just slap the energy out of him?" The crimsonette blinked as he noted Vali no longer twitching but unmoving

"Mmm, play Dota?" she affirmed his suspicions as she asked

"Sure, did Kuroka learn the basics yet?"

"I taught her everything" Ophis nodded as Shiro noticed the dragon loli was becoming much less monotone than the past.

"Were still down 2 players for a full team" Shiro said out-loud as he tried to think of getting more players, maybe force Arthur and Vali to learn how to play. Then again Vali was out of commission so maybe Morgan.

"Why not Shirone?" the goth loli voiced

Shiro opened his eyes wide "Oh right, she did learn to play after all! Hold on I'll be right back." he said as he popped out of existence

Within the Hyoudou household, the Gremory peerage could be seen enjoying dinner.

"I didn't know you could cook this well Asia!" Issei commented as the nun was never in charge of cooking until now

"Ah- it's nothing much, Ms. Hyoudou was kind enough to teach me recently." Asia said as she blushed

The atmosphere was halted as a certain crimson-haired shinigami popped into existence behind Shirone and Gasper "Borrowing these two for a week, bye!" he said quickly as he disappeared with the nekoshou and dhampir

"Wai-" Rias didn't get to finish as Shiro already kidnapped her two peerage members.

The entire household was left dumbfounded. But the ones who were the most out of it were Mr. and Mrs. Hyoudou as they weren't aware of the supernatural until now.

They would have to decide whether to hypnotize or explain to them about it if the crimsonette was going to continue popping in and out.
