Kenji had gotten his name changed two days ago. As he didn't want to keep his old name of Gremory, he decided to change his surname to that of his mother's maiden name, Venelana BAEL.

As well as that, he decided, just for the hell of it, to combine that surname with the surname of his wife, Valian Lucifer, to create the new name of Baelcifer.

Kenji and Valian took their seats, Valian next to Shemhazai, Kenji next to Azazel. Kenji looked out at the other 9 Cadre sitting around a table.

Baraqiel, Kokabiel, Armaros, Sahariel, Tamiel, Penemue and Albedo.

He already knew Baraqiel, Penemue and Albedo, so he focused on the other four Fallen Angels.

Armaros was a muscular man with black hair and violet eyes, with a wildish beard. He wears armor, a helm, an eye-patch and a cape.

Sahariel was a man in his early twenties, with white hair and blue eyes. He wore thick glasses, and a white lab coat.

Tamiel was a handsome young man in his mid-twenties. He had shoulder-length blonde hair, and green eyes.

He wore a robe with many ornaments, and a circlet.

Kokabiel was a young man with black hair, red eyes, and, unlike other Fallen Angels, Kokabiel had pointy ears. He wore a black robe with detailed accessories.

He was trying very hard not to snarl at Kenji and Valian.

"Alright, so what's going on in our various departments?" Azazel asked.

"The ones in the military are doing fine. " Baraqiel replied.

"Almost all of our two-wingers have moved up to four. "

"That's good. " Azazel replied.

"Armaros?"

"Nothing special to report, my department is going fine. " He replied.

"Sahariel?"

"Same. "

"Tamiel?"

"Same. "

"Alright. " Azazel replied.

"Well, Kenji and I are nearly finished with our Artificial Sacred Gear. We just need to get the kinks out of it before someone can use it.

"

"Valian and I are finalising the details of a possible alliance between us and the Shinto Faction. " Shemhazai said, consulting his notes.

"They'll be arriving tomorrow afternoon, so everyone in the Cadre will have to be here. "

"Alright, Shem. " Azazel said.

"I hope we can get another alliance. "

"I think everyone but Kokabiel does. " Valian cheekily replied.

She recieved a middle finger from Kokabiel for her troubles.

"Alright, that's enough out of the pair of you. " Azazel said.

"Meeting dismissed. " Everyone magic-circled out of the hall.

Line Break

The next day, Azazel, Kenji, Shemhazai, Valian, Baraqiel, Kokabiel, Armaros, Sahariel, Tamiel, Penemue and Albedo were sat in the Grigori Conference Hall, waiting for the representatives of the Shinto Faction to arrive.

"Nervous, Kenji?" Azazel asked his son, in a murmur.

"A little. " Kenji replied, taking a breath.

"I've actually never done anything of this sort, before. " Azazel reached under the table, and gave Kenji's hand a squeeze.

"You'll be okay. " He said.

"I've done this before, we'll all be fine, Kenji. " Kenji smiled, and looked up as some random-ass Fallen Angel opened the doors of the hall.

"The members of the Shinto Faction are here. " He said, before magic-circling away.

Everyone looked up, as eight people, five of them flanking the front three, walked into the room.

The first of the front three women was a beautiful woman who was, appearance-wise, in her early-to-mid-twenties. She had long, jet-black hair that reached down to her waist, almond-shaped brownish-black eyes, pale skin, and a voluptuous figure, though not quite as buxom as the woman on the left of her.

Her outfit consisted of a formal white kimono with golden accents. At the bottom of the kimono was a golden pattern in the shape of the sun.

Just for the hell of it, Kenji thought, he cast a power-scanning spell that Azazel had taught him on the woman. More often than not, he found himself casting the spell on himself, just to see how powerful he was compared to other members of the Grigori.

His PC (Power Count) was 6,530, by the way. Valian's was 5,900, Penemue's and Albedo's was 5,480 each and Azazel's was a staggering (for him) 12,000

The number that came back to Kenji almost made him choke on his saliva.

975,000.

Nearly 150 times his own PC.

Swallowing hard, Kenji had a look at the second woman, the woman to the left of the first one.

The second woman was a gorgous-looking young woman in her early-twenties, with golden-blonde hair, matching eyes and a buxom figure, with very large breasts that rivalled Valian's in size. She had two fox-ears, and nine fox-tails.

She wore a traditional miko outfit: a white haori with red accents, a red hakama, and a pair of zōri with white tabi.

Kenji used the spell, and got a read on her PC as well: 24,400.

Between 3 and 4 times his own PC.

The third woman, the woman to the right of the first one. was a woman that looked a lot like the first woman, but with a couple of differences.

She was slightly shorter, had shorter black hair done up into a ponytail, rather than letting it flow free. Her breasts were slightly smaller than the first womans', and she had green eyes.

Her PC was slightly more in Kenji's range: 4,500.

Baraqiel was also staring at the third woman like he had seen a ghost.

"Uhh, Baraqiel?" Kenji asked, giving his godfather a nudge. "You okay?"

"Yeah, I think he's okay. " Azazel said, with a grin.

"I think he's just shocked to see his former wife for the first time in 10-or-so years. "

"Oh. " Kenji looked in sympathy at his godfather.

He remembered the story he'd told Kenji about him and his deceased wife, Shuri Himejima. He also remembered how emotional Baraqiel had gotten when he told the story.

"Shuri…" he whispered, staring at her. Shuri smiled.

"Hello, Baraqiel. " She said.

"Good to see you. "

"Shuri, I know you're happy to see him again, but can you save it for after we've done this?" the other black-haired woman asked.
