Chapter 11 - The Little Sister Position
It has been a long time since I lost my brother. I told him to retreat yet he didn't listen to me and went deeper into the Abyss.
I left the Monastery of Light in search for him, yet everytime I get close, he always was a few steps ahead of me.
I was mad that their treatment of us siblings is different, while I was showered in glory, my brother was treated as something insignificant.
Back to when we were arguing, I told him that it was because of the Abyss why people started doing evil things, he said that Evil was already within people.
Neither of us was willing to listen. If only I listened to him... If only I followed him... If only I...
He was gone. My brother didn't come back even though I told him to.
There was no room for regrets. I had to bring him back.
So I left the Monastery of Light. I left to search for my brother. There was only one place he could be, The Barren Lands.
The Barren Lands was south of the Moniyan Empire which is where the Monastery of Light is located.
The Abyss is located in The Barren Lands, home of the demons.
Thankfully, I know how to fight so demons was not a problem.
Then, one day when I was so close to my brother, he suddenly vanished. As if he didn't exist.
Like normal twins, my brother and I have a connection due to being together for most of our childhood.
That connection has suddenly vanished.
I realized that my brother, was no longer in this world.
I desperately prayed everyday to the Lord of Light to let me see my brother once again.
I desperately prayed to anyone to let me see my brother again.
I prayed everyday, until one day.
I felt my brother's connection once again, however its much weaker.
And everytime I sleep, I had dreams about another world through the eyes of a girl who has similar characteristics to me. A person who heals everyone.
This person called Asia, is with my brother whose name is Kazumi. Though my brother looks a bit different, I know to myself that he is indeed my brother.
He is also surrounded by women. Two of which are almost the same as me and my brother, fallen angels. Their names are Akeno and Yuuma. And I'm thankful for them because my brother doesn't feel all alone because he has angels like him by his side.
And there's one girl. Itsuki I think? For some reason, I don't like her calling my big brother, "Onii-chan".
I continue to see their world through Asia's eyes.
As time goes on, I see my brother who is much happier than he did here. He smiles more than he did here.
And then one day, Asia was kidnapped.
"Please help me!"
"Asia?"
"Please help me! I want to be useful to everyone! I want to be fighting with my friends instead of getting protected!"
"Asia, calm down."
"I–I'm sorry."
"Its fine. Just rest okay? I'll take care of everything."
"B–But."
"Don't worry. Just rest."
"O–Okay... Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Finally, I get to meet my big brother.
~°~°~°
"H–How?!"
"I don't know how but I prayed everyday and my prayers got answered." Asia(Rafaela) put her hands together as if she's praying.
"I–I see..." Who could have answered? If I remember, Lord of Light was technically our– no, Rafaela's father and I highly doubt he would.
"Onii-chan? Why is Asia calling you big brother?" This feels very familiar... Itsuki's eyes doesn't have swirls... I hope so.
"We're curious too!"
"Okay... Rafaela, this is Itsuki, Yuuma and Akeno. They are my girlfriends."
"Hi!"
"Hello!"
"Hmph."
"And this is Rafaela, my twin sister... Well, my twin sister in my past life. She's communicating with us through Asia."
"So she's possessing Asia?"
"Yep."
"Past life?"
"I'll explain later at home. Let's get out of here first. Oh yeah what happened to the fallen angel?"
"Oh her? We knocked her out. She's too noisy." Itsuki pointed to Raynare who was out cold.
"What should we do with her?"
"Hand her to Rias?" I don't want to deal with her. She hadn't done anything warranting death. She did beat up Asia. But Asia lived. Also, if Raynare lived, she would live with failure.
I guess that's much better than killing her.
There's also politics about that but yeah no I'm not getting involved with that.
"I'll bring her to Rias." Akeno replied, "Take Asia home."
"Got it." Then once Akeno's set, she teleported away.
"Alright let's go home. Make sure you girls didn't forget anything important. Actually, you go first, I just remembered something I need to finish." Then I prepare the teleportation circle.
"Okay! Let's go, Itsuki-chan, Rafaela-san."
"Hey it's my house! You need permission from me first!"
"You don't want to bring Rafaela-chan home, do you?"
"I..."
"See. Let's go home!"
"Okay..."
Then they stepped in the circle and teleported home.
I really don't want to leave them because of the awkward atmosphere between my sisters.
But I have to finish what I started. I don't want Freed to become a problem though I doubt he would because all of his limbs are gone.
I still find it weird that this church has an underground area. Why would there be an underground ritual area under the church?
Before this church was abandoned, this was under the jurisdiction of the Christian Faction. So that would mean experiments were done here.
What the hell...
Oh is that Freed?
He's still breathing but he's asleep.
"Wake up."
I bought another sword and nudged it on him.
Yeah he's passed out. I'm just gonna finish him and go home.
"May your soul suffer eternal damnation."
His acts goes against the bible.
Now that's out of the way, I need to go home.
Actually, how about I destroy this whole place.
~°~°~°~
"So who are you really?" Itsuki started.
"Me? I'm Rafale–"
"Why are you posing as my brother's sister?"
"But I am his sister. His blood related Twin sister in fact." Rafaela put an emphasis in twin sister.
"But you aren't his sister in this life."
"So what? At least we were related by blood."
Yuuma watched as Itsuki and Rafaela-Asia bickered.
"Hey Itsuki."
"What?"
"Are you, by any chance, scared?"
"W–What? Who? Me? Scared?"
"Are you scared that Rafaela-san will take your position as the little sister of Kazumi?"
"..."
"Oh, so that's what it was about. Don't worry, I won't be here all the time. I have duties back in our– my world."
"Your world? What is it like!" Yuuma asked as her eyes sparkle in curiosity.
"Well how about we–"
"What did I miss?"
"Ah! Nee-san, you're right on time! Rafaela-san is going to tell stories about her world!"
"Oh? Rafaela-san's world?"
"Listen closely okay. Let's start with the Moniyan Continent."
~°~°~°~
And done. The underground part of the church is no more.
There wasn't much to destroy. I destroyed the altar and the entrance of the underground. I hope I won't be coming back to this place.
Now I want to go home. Should I buy something? How about Itsuki's favorite ice cream? Guess I'll buy it on the way.
~°~°~°~
I bought the ice cream and heading home now. Yeah I should just fly or the ice cream will melt before I get home.
I still have 5 pairs. My 6th pair is 5% away from forming.
Anyways, I flew towards my house.
I got on the door and entered.
"Oh? Kazumi, welcome home."
"I'm back, kaa-san. Where are they?"
"Upstairs in your room."
"Thanks, kaa-san."
"Did you buy ice cream?"
"Hmm? Yeah, for Itsuki."
"Just don't let her eat too much."
"Okay."
Then I started walking to my room. I heard their voices from downstairs and Rafaela is telling our story.
"That's cruel!"
"Ara, I wonder if they would love to feel my lightning hit them."
"Can you bring us to your world, nee-san? I'll beat them up!" Did Itsuki just called Rafaela 'nee-san'? I wonder what happened.
I then opened the door.
"What did I miss?"

Yeah sorry the chapter is late. School just ended and its still bothering. Sorry its short.
We had our finals but we're still required to go to school. Pretty fucked up.
Anyways, if I finish it, I should be posting a side story chapter later. Hopefully I do.
We're actually near the end of volume 1. After Riser arc, we go to volume 2. I'm still thinking what volume 2 is about.
For volume 2, we can go to another world or just stay in DxD.
