Poor Kiba :(

Arthur POV

*Bang!*

The door was slammed open by a wild and angry Kiba!

"Where are they?!" Kiba shouted. Each of the girls and myself looked over to the frustrated boy. 'That gave me batman vibes' I thought to myself.

"Where are who Kiba?" Rias asked him as she and Akeno separated from the hug they were giving me.

Kiba looked desperately around the room, a snarl evident on his features. "I felt it! That...That forsaken power! I recognize it! Who brought it here!?" He demanded of his king. Rias looked shocked before she became somewhat downtrodden.

I looked over to Kiba. "There are currently two exorcists here in Kuoh after some of the Excalibur's had been stolen from the church, they are investigating with out help." I spoke calmly to the angry Kiba.

He glared at me before replying. "Why would we help them! Do you know what they did to me?! They don't deserve our help! In fact we should remove them from buchous territory and take away their weapons so we can destroy them."

After Kibas outburst everyone was silent.

..

..

"Isn't that enough Kiba?" I said quietly, directly to him. He once again glared at me, though he also looked confused. The others in the room also looked to me.

"What?" Kiba asked quietly.

"Isn't that enough?" I started once again. "This.. This hate over an...Inanimate object. It has no morality to it. It is simply a waste of time." I finished.

Kiba now looked positively enraged.

"Excuse me?" Kiba started. "You...You don't know what that...Thing...Did to me and my friends. They were slaughtered mindlessly...FOR WHAT?!" He shouted. "JUST SO A HOLY SWORD COULD BE USED!" Kiba continued. "THEY DIDNT DESERVE THAT! They wanted me to seek revenge and put a stop to that sword, once and for all, and on my name it will be done!" He finished, a glimmer of mana appearing around his hands as his anger rose.

I sighed and looked him in the eyes. "If that is why you think they died so you could live... You dishonor their names and might as well spit on their graves." I said to him, disappointment lacing my tone.

..

'Bros mad'

A sword appeared in his hand as he leapt towards me, preparing to strike me down for saying such a thing. Though it was all for naught.

*Crk*

I gripped the sword swinging towards my neck and broke it in the palm of my hand before striking him across the face.

*Duff*

Kibas body hit the floor, a red welt already appearing on his face. Rias looked ready to intervene but I held up my hand to pause her actions.

"Is this truly what you want? To avenge your fallen comrades by destroying a sword?" is started.

"You're Pathetic." I spat, looking downwards at him.

They boy looked on the verge of crying, the anger being wiped from his face in an instant. "What else can I do!?" He whimpered, looking to the floor.

I looked down at him and offered my hand to him. "Stand up" I commanded. The others in the room hadn't muttered a word, they only looked between me and the knight.

He grabbed my hand and pulled himself up. "Now tell me calmly. Why do you want revenge?" I asked him.

Kiba clenched his fists and looked out one of the windows in the clubroom.

Kiba proceeded to tell me about the holy sword project and what happened, along with how he came to be a knight of Gremory.

----------

"I see" I said looking to the distraught knight. "And where does the blame fall to for such a thing?" I asked him patiently.

He turned around and looked to me. "The swords! It wouldn't have happened if they didnt exist!" Kiba said angrily.

"That's where you go wrong Kiba" I said with small sigh. Rather than get angry, he stared at me, overwhelmed by confusion.

"Why would you choose to be angry at a sword for Robs sake? It has no feeling, no control over what it does! It is only an item used to kill, it does not choose! You tell me that this project was run by a man named Valper? Why not focus your anger on him? The man who planned you and your friends downfall? Over doing this, you chose to be angry at a FUCKING SWORD Kiba! Use that pretty head of yours all the girls love for something useful!" I examined, staring at the blonde knight.

His eyes had gotten progressively larger as my speech went on. In the end, his hair overcast his eyes and he looked to floor. "Hehe" He let out a weak laugh. "I really am pathetic" He said to himself.

..

There was only silence in the clubroom when he said this. Koneko and Akeno were looking at Kiba, both of them surprisingly frowning in sadness as they looked to the depressed knight. Rias on the other hand looked towards me pleadingly, I just gave her a small smile.

I walked over to Kiba before placing a hand on his shoulder. "Don't put yourself down Kiba, just be better." I said to him with a smile. He nodded his head looking to the floor, but his head suddenly shot up, determination burning in his eyes.

"Right!" He said, before shooting out of the clubrooms door, confusing everyone.

I felt a soft hand on my shoulder as it turned me around. "Hu-" My exclamation was stopped as I felt lips pressed against my own. My eyes widened as I saw who it was, the red hair was a dead giveaway.

Rias was kissing me!

I quickly returned her kiss, though it was slightly foolish, it was her first time after all. I pulled her closer towards me and we continued for a couple seconds before separating. "Well that was...A welcome surprise." I said happily, holding Rias in my arms.

She smirked before burying her head in my chest. "Im glad you like it." She stopped for a second before continuing. "Thank you for trying to help Kiba." I felt her smile into my chest.

"Of course Rias" I said with a smile.

"Ara-ara~! Arthur-kun when do I get a kiss?"
