WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE U- Beep.
Issei Hyoudou groaned and he rose from his bed. Looking around, he got out of bed and grabbed his new school uniform and put it on. Issei then went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.
After going down and eating breakfast, Issei went to get his bike.
"Issei, be polite and have fun at school!" Issei's mother said to him.
"Okay! Bye Okasan!" Issei said and he rode to Kuoh Academy.
When he got to school, he saw two people he recognized. Motohama and Matsuda both saw Issei and waved at him.
"Oh! Hey Issei!" Matsuda said.
"Hello," said Issei. Issei had met Matsuda and Motohama when he first moved to the neighborhood. Issei immediately knew after meeting those two that they were perverts since he caught them looking at girls that were in the pool near his neighborhood. However, this had proved bad luck for him since the girls also thought he was a pervert since he hung out with Matsuda and Motohama, but he was quick to defend himself and his reputation.
"What are you guys doing?" Issei asked them. Matsuda and Motohama didn't answer. Issei sighed as he saw Matsuda and Motohama staring at some girls that were running past them.
"Oh for Kami's sake, stop it!" and Issei pushed both Motohama and Matsuda. However, it did not end well since Issei pushed a bit too hard, so Motohama and Matsuda ended up running straight into some of the girl's chests. Immediately, the girls all slapped Matsuda and Motohama across the face.
Issei laughed and before Matsuda and Motohama could get him, he ran to his first class.
"Now class, we have a new transfer student today. Come on, don't be shy," said a young woman who was the teacher. Everyone was buzzing with curiosity except Motohama and Matsuda since they knew who was going to be in their class.
Issei stepped in the classroom and politely said, "Hello, my name is Hyoudou Issei. It's nice to meet you all! Please treat me well!"
There was silence and Issei felt nervous since everyone was staring at him so he gave a kind and shy smile.
"KYAAA!" the girls suddenly screamed scaring literally everyone including Issei and the teacher out of their skins.
"He's so cute!" one of the girls shouted.
"He's so polite and shy too!" another girl squealed.
Issei blushed slightly and turned his head away in embarrassment making the girls squeal even more. The boys glared at Issei with ire and their hands were raised in anger.
Matsuda and Motohama were the most shocked off all the boys and the most angry. They looked like two red balloons swelling up until they explode with anger.
"Damn you Issei!" the Perverted Duo shouted, "Go to hell! Die!"
The girls grabbed Issei and pulled them towards them where he was bombarded with questions about himself with Issei looking bewildered at the amount of attention. However, the teacher broke things up and restored order to the class before anything else could get out of hand.
During Lunch…
Matsuda, Motohama and Issei were all near the abandoned school house. Issei sighed as Motohama and Matsuda berated him for gaining so much popularity. Issei was the topic of the school and even the third-year girls were looking at him like he was potential fresh meat.
"Why are you doing this?! How are you doing this?! Even the third-years are looking at you with so much love!" Matsuda shouted while demanding an answer from Issei.
Issei sighed. "It's not my fault! How is it my fault if the girls find me cute? I didn't choose my looks!" Issei retorted.
"Still, you have become the hot topic among the girls! It's makes me so jealous that I seriously want to punch you!" Motohama yelled.
"Also why in the world did you push us this morning?! Sure we got a great view, but they slapped us silly!" Motohama yelled at Issei while Motohama glared at Issei as well.
"Yea yea, I get it now will you guys please quiet down…" Issei said exasperatedly before noticing a figure looking at them from a window of the old school building.
Issei's eyes widened a little. Right there looking at them from the old schoolhouse window was a crimson haired girl with blue-green eyes. But as soon as Issei laid his eyes on her, she retreated from the window.
"There's someone in the old school house right?" Matsuda said as he noticed where Issei was looking.
"Yea…"said Issei. "But she's a devil…and her face is one I recognize. I sensed some devils when I came here but I never thought I would run into one of the 72 Pillars. The world's a small place huh?"
Motohama grinned, "Rias Gremory, 99c-58cm-90cm. She's the Occult Research Club president. Word is that she's from Northern Europe."
"The house of Gremory huh? Interesting. Maybe I can visit later," Issei thought with a thoughtful look on his face.
In the school house...
Rias was looking at her chess board in deep thought.
"That boy just now…" Rias said.
"Ma'am?" a girl around Rias's age said.
"The boy in the middle Akeno," Rias said.
"If I remember correctly, his name is Hyoudou. He's in class 2-b." Akeno said. "But why did he interest you?"
"He's sees very different and I feel a great power from him. It feels nostalgic, familiar even…"
"I heard he's a very hot topic among the girls. They view him as the second lost prince of Kuoh Academy. Even the third-years find him interesting. I want to meet him myself in person," Akeno said and she giggled.
"I see. Checkmate." Rias said and she put a white pawn forward before standing up.
"Oh? I thought I put it on a very hard setting," Akeno said and she bent forward.
"I got a bit better. I'm going to take a bath," Rias said and she shed her clothes before stepping into the shower.
After school…
Issei was riding his bike on the bridge towards his home when a shy voice spoke out.
"Umm, excuse me, are you Hyoudou Issei?"
Issei stopped his bike and turned around. There in front of him was a girl that seemed around his age but shorter in height. She had bright innocent violet eyes and had long black hair that reached her hips. She was in a dark red jacket with the letter "P" embroidered in gold, a white undershirt, a red bow, and a green skirt with a thin white strip around the lower end of it.
"Yes?" Issei said.
"M-my name is Yuuma Amano. And…" Yuuma blushed.
Issei looked innocently at Yuuma but in his head he thought, "That blush…it's fake. I may be a little dense but I'm not an idiot. What does a fallen angel want with me though?"
"I've seen you in your neighborhood a few times and I just want to ask, w-will you be my boyfriend?" Yuuma said, blushing redder.
Issei was taken aback at this request. Issei didn't what to do but he didn't want to be mean so he did what he felt like he had to do.
"O-okay," Issei said, taken aback. Yuuma smiled.
As Yuuma walked away, Issei noticed his shadow moving and it moved away from him and stood up.
"Master, I have searched the devils, one of them is the famous Gremory Clan and the other group of devils is the Sitri Clan," The shadow said.
"Ah, very good. I'll visit them later," Issei said.
Next day, afterschool (skipping the morning and afternoon)
Issei waited at the bridge with Motohama and Matsuda. Issei was talking to his two friends when a voice cut out from the distance,
"Issei!"
Issei turned and saw Yuuma running towards him.
"Oh, Yuuma-chan," Issei said. "Allow me to introduce my two friends, Motohama and Matsuda.
"Hello! I'm Yuuma Amano. Pleased to meet you!" Yuuma said.
Matsuda looked at her with a surprised face and said to Issei, "Uh…what's going on?"
"Oh, I'm Issei's girlfriend!" Yuuma said.
Both Matsuda and Motohama freaked out and their jaws dropped.
"WHAT?!" Matsuda and Motohama said and Motohama had tears in his eyes.
Issei chuckled nervously and smiled.
"Oh Issei," Yuuma said.
"Yes?" Issei asked.
"Do you want to go out on a date this Saturday if possible? Near the mall?" Yuuma asked.
Issei face turned thoughtful, trying to see if he had anything to do Saturday.
"Sure, I can come," said Issei to which both Motohama and Matsuda's jaws dropped even lower.
"Okay! I'm looking forward to our date!" Yuuma said happily and she skipped away leaving the Perverted Duo and Issei alone on the bridge.
"Well, that was-" Issei began but Matsuda grabbed his shirt and yelled at him.
"You! Y-you traitor!" Matsuda cried, tears comically falling down from his eyes.
"Hey! It's just a date, calm down!" Issei said trying to force Matsuda off him.
"No way! You have a girlfriend when we don't?! I don't think so!" Motohama yelled.
While the three friends were bickering, they failed to notice a short, white haired girl wearing the Kuoh Academy Uniform looking at Issei. The girl calmly and licked a popsicle before retreating into the shadows. Well, actually Issei did notice her but didn't say anything.
In the Abandoned School House…
"I see."
"Sure enough, your hunch was-," the white haired girl began quietly.
"-Right on the mark?" It appears that I was right in to having you keep an eye on him."
"Buchou*, what shall we do?" Akeno said to Rias.
"We shall make our preparations, at least," said Rias. "However, it all depends on him."
Saturday Morning near the mall…
Issei was waiting patiently for Yuuma. He was wondering where Yuuma was when a he sensed a woman walking towards him. He turned to his right and saw a woman walking towards him. He immediately put out his hand and said, "Your wish will come true eh?"
Issei saw the woman look surprised but it was quickly masked with a smile and the woman handed him a piece of paper with the words, "Your wish will come true" printed on the top and bottom of the paper. A circular symbol was in the middle of the paper.
"Thank you," said Issei and the woman smiled again before leaving.
"Issei!" a voice called out.
Issei looked and saw Yuuma walking towards him.
"She looks cute doesn't sheErebos (or Erebus if you prefer that)?" Issei was rewarded with silence.
"Hello! Sorry I was late!" Yuuma said.
"That's okay," said Issei. So where do you want to go?"
So the day went and Issei and Yuuma went pretty much everywhere. They went to a clothes store where they tried out several shirts. In the end, Issei ended up getting a pink, fluffy bracelet for Yuuma. Then after spending hours at the clothes store, they decided to go to a local café were Yuuma had herself a fruit sundae and Issei ordered himself some kiwi juice.
It was late afternoon and Yuuma and Issei were walking towards a water fountain. Issei was smiling but his light brown eyes widened when he felt Yuuma's hand grasp his. Issei felt his face get hot a little and he thought that Yuuma's face went a bit red too.
Yuuma then suddenly broke contact and ran to the front of the water fountain.
"Issei, I had a lot of fun today. To commemorate our first date, would you mind doing something for me?" Yuuma asked while taking steps toward Issei.
Issei was taken aback. "Is she asking me to kiss her?" Issei wondered with curiosity.
"W-what is it you would like?" Issei asked.
Yuuma lowered her head, smiled, before her eyes glinted with a killing intent and she looked up to Issei. "Would please you die for me?"
Issei was taken aback at the change of Yuuma's voice. It sounded so…sinister yet seducing.
"Eh, Yuuma-chan, do you mind repeating that?" Issei asked.
Yuuma then put her mouth near Issei's ear and whispered, "Would you die for me?"
Issei's eyes widened. "Eh?"
Yuuma chuckled and her clothing became shredded. Black wings sprouted from her shoulders and black strap-like objects formed around and under her breasts and a black thong-like piece were held around her hips by three thin straps. She grew taller and her hands were covered with black gloves that ran up her arms with small chains hanging from them. Her shoulders were covered with shoulder guard-like objects with three large spikes sprouting from her right shoulder and she now had black high heeled boots. Lastly, a sort of leather bounder neck with a large silver ring held her shoulder guards and her eyes became darker with a more sinister look in them.
"It's been fun, hanging around you for this short time, playing with your naïve, childish manner," Yuuma said. She held up the pink, fluffy bracelet that was around her arm and added, "I will treasure this little thing you bought for me. And now…"
Yuuma held out her hand and red light raced towards her palm. A thin spear of red energy formed in her hand and she raised it above her head.
Issei fell down on the ground in shock and he watched as Yuuma lifted the spear.
"Yuuma-chan…" Issei said and he went on his knees.
"Time to die," said Yuuma with a smile and she plunged the red spear at his stomach. His eyes widened and he looked down to see the red spear in his stomach. Yuuma took out the spear and Issei's blood squirted forward.
"I'm sorry," Yuuma began, "but you were too great of a risk to us, so I had to dispose of you right away. If you wish to blame someone, blame God for putting the Sacred Gear in you."
Issei coughed up blood and fell to the ground. He closed his eyes in pain.
"Thanks for the fond memories," said Yuuma and she flew away.
Issei's eyes were still closed. As soon as the sound of Yuuma's wings were gone though, Issei's eyes snapped open and he stood up quickly as if his stomach was on fire which in a way it was due to the pain.
"AH! God that hurt! Why the hell do I have to be killed at the end of a date?!"
{She's right you were a bit naïve when you were with here.} a voice said in Issei's mind.
"Shut up Erebos,"Issei said to his partner and to no one in particular.
{Make me partner.} Erebos replied back with a challenge.
(Erebos is right, you were careless.)
"Not you too Ddraig…"
Issei sighed and checked his phone. The time read 8:00 PM.
"Shit! I got to get home!" and with that Issei ran towards his home not knowing that the paper he got earlier was slowly coming down to the ground.
As soon as the paper touched the concrete, a red and black light was emitted and a woman with red hair stepped out of the paper.
"Issei, I see-," Rias stopped her sentence and looked around, not seeing Issei.
"Huh? Where is Issei-kun?" Rias thought and she had confusion written all over her face.
"Issei?" Rias called out and she was rewarded with silence.
The very next day at school…
Issei walked quietly by himself to his class. While he was walking, he heard several girls talking about him in the hallway.
"There he is! It's the Lost Prince of Kuoh Academy!"
"Why does he hang out with Matsuda and Motohama though?"
"Noooo! We can't let the Perverted Duo corrupt him!"
Issei smiled at the girls making the second-years and even a third-year blush at his smile.
When Issei got to classroom and sat down in his chair, he heard several girls squealing and noticed someone approaching him. He looked up and saw, with surprise, Yuuto Kiba, the number one pretty boy in the school and the greatest rival to the boys.
"Excuse me, are you Hyoudou Issei?" Kiba asked.
"Yes, that's me. What do you want?" Issei politely replied. "More specifically, what does the devil Knight of Rias Gremory want?"
Kiba smiled and said, "I am here with a request from Rias-senpai."
"Oh? What is it?" Issei curiously asked.
"She would like to meet you in the abandoned school house. Would you come with me?"
"Ah, okay," Issei said and he grabbed his bag and he and Kiba left the classroom.
At the abandoned school house…
Issei followed Kiba into a candle-lit room and saw the school's mascot figure, Toujou Koneko, a first-year at Kuoh Academy on a couch. Koneko was on the couch quietly eating a snack.
"Ah, Koneko-chan, this is Hyoudou Issei," Kiba said.
Koneko's eyes opened and she gave a slight nod to Issei before closing her eyes and resuming eating.
"Ah, Koneko-chan, nice to meet you. I remember seeing you when I was on the bridge!" Issei said and he smiled.
Koneko's eyes opened and she gazed at Issei with slight surprise on her face. Kiba also had a look of surprise before he smiled.
"Ara ara," a voice said, and Issei turned to see Kuoh's second top model, Himejima Akeno.
"Nice to meet you, I'm the Occult Vice President Himejima Akeno. I am pleased to make your acquaintance," Akeno said and she giggled.
"No, the pleasure is all mine," Issei said and he smiled.
There was a noise to Issei's left and he looked to the side to see the figure of Rias Gremory behind a curtain. Rias was getting out of the shower and putting on her clothes. Issei sniffed using his dragon senses and smelled a sweet scent from Rias.
After Rias was done putting on her clothes, she came out of the shower and said, "Thank you for waiting."
"That's okay," Issei replied.
Rias smiled. "Please, take a seat."
Issei smiled before taking a seat in a couch, across from where Koneko was sitting.
"Here you go," Akeno said and she served a cup of tea to Issei.
"Ah, thank you," Issei said and he took a sip. "It's quite delicious."
"This tea is very good," Issei said and he smiled at Akeno.
Akeno smiled back at him sweetly though it was too sweet for Issei.
{Be wary of everyone here. We don't know what their motives are, and if they do know that you are a devil, expect certain things to happen.}
"I know Erebos, frankly, I do not care if they find out if I am a devil," Issei said.
Rias smiled before saying, "Issei, we welcome you as a guest to the Occult Research Club. You seem to know everyone here, so I will get to the point. May I ask, where were you last night?
Issei was taken aback at the question and he remembered last night, Yuuma transforming, his "death," and Yuuma's crazed smile and look.
I was going home," Issei said innocently. Rias smiled sweetly at him and sat down.
"Really? Were you by chance, on a date with someone?" Rias asked.
Issei smiled and said, "Guess you caught me, well then, I suppose I can't really hide it from you, since your familiar came back to you after giving me that paper right?"
Rias's eyes widened and the Occult Research club was silent in shock.
Issei smiled and said, "I know everything."
Rias stuttered, "Even the fact that we are-,"
"-All devils correct?" Issei said.
Silence invaded the room and Rias looked in shock at Issei.
"H-how do you know-?" Rias stuttered.
"I can sense your power, Rias Gremory, heiress to the next Gremory Clan, the Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess, the Princess of Destruction," Issei recited.
Rias and her peerage looked at Issei in shock while Issei was calmly looking at Rias.
"Tell me, what are you, and the Sitri Clan led by Sona Sitri doing here in Kuoh Academy? Issei asked.
Rias was in a state of complete shock but she then narrowed her eyes.
"How is it that you know all this?" Rias demanded.
Issei didn't answer and a shadow materialized right next to him that looked just like Issei.
"This is my familiar, Shadow. He told me everything. Shadow, we are guests here. Be polite. They are not our enemies."
Shadow bowed before changing into the form of a black cat with teal eyes. Shadow, now in the form of a cat, yawned. Koneko twitched a little.
"May I hold the kitty?" Koneko quietly asked. Issei nodded and Shadow sprung into Koneko's lap.
Rias looked at the Issei's familiar with interest while Koneko was busy patting Shadow.
"That is a rare familiar, how did you get it?" Rias asked.
"My father," Issei simply replied. Issei sighed before saying, "Buchou, I am actually quite tired from last night and I was hoping you would let me go. Being stabbed with a light spear really does take a toll on me."
"Wait, do you know about the war between the three factions?" Rias asked.
"Yes. The demons, the angels, and the fallen angels," Issei asked. "I actually encountered a fallen angel. Yuuma was her name, though I doubt that is her real name. Don't worry; I was acting a little naive."
{You mean really naive.} Erebos said.
"Shut up!" Issei roared in his mind.
"I see, well then I hope to see you again, Issei-kun," Rias said.
Issei smiled and was a little surprised being addressed in such a way, but he nodded and stood up before bowing and leaving. Shadow leapt off of Koneko before disappearing.
"He's an interesting boy isn't he?" Akeno said.
Rias smiled and said, "Yes, I hope to see you again, my precious kouhai."
After school…
Issei walked home, his pace slow and clumsy.
"Uh, I feel so tired for some reason…" Issei complained. Issei then felt a brief shock and the sky turned wavy and purple. Issei's widened his eyes and turned around.
"This feeling," Issei thought. He turned around to see a figure walking towards him.
A tall young buxom woman with long, navy blue hair and brown eyes was walking towards him. Issei also noticed a man that looked like in his middle ages walking with the woman.
Issei became wary of the man, noticing the trench coat and black fedora the man had on and the way his face was somewhat obscured.
"How are you alive?" The woman said. "Raynare said she killed a boy and described the boy. That boy must be you. But how are you alive?!"
Issei backed away and the woman glared at him before black feather wings erupted from her back.
"Well, looks like we get to kill this guy again Kalawarner," the man said.
"Yes, Dohnaseek," Kalawarner said. Issei gritted his teeth in annoyance but his eyes were becoming unfocused.
"Well well, looks like the brat is tired. That's even better. That means…" Kalawarner said and she charged a yellow spear of energy. "We can kill this brat easily."
"A light energy spear huh?" Issei said, remembering Yuuma's light spear, which was red.
Kalawarner threw the spear and Issei barely dodged the spear by dodging to the side. However when Issei stood up, a blue light spear pierced his back and Issei yelled in agony.
"Hey, this brat is tough, light is supposed to be a deadly poison to your kind, but you're pretty resilient," Dohnaseek said. Issei turned and glared at Dohnaseek who was hovering behind Issei.
"You coward, attacking from behind," Issei spat. Dohnaseek grinned and he held up another blue light lance.
"Kalawarner, let's finish this brat!" Dohnaseek said. Kalawarner grinned before charging her yellow light lance before throwing it at Issei's chest along with Dohnaseeks.
Issei gritted his teeth and winced in pain when both light lances pierced his chest.
{Pain. Get used to the pain. After all, it has been a few years since you have experienced pain}
"Why won't you die?" Kalawarner yelled in annoyance and she threw a light spear directly at Issei's head.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the lance making it miss Issei. Issei looked to see who had saved him and saw Rias and Akeno walking towards him. Akeno had her hand up and electricity was crackling in her palm.
"Ah, buchou, it's good to see you," said Issei and he smiled before dropping to the floor due to exhaustion to which Rias ran and gently caught him.
"There there, my precious kouhai," Rias said and she looked at Issei lovingly before glaring at Dohnaseek and Kalawarner who had regrouped.
"So, he joined the Gremory Household huh? Dohnaseek said.
"This is bad, that means he's been reincarnated as a devil," Kalawarner said.
"Actually, Issei is not mine," Rias said and this shocked both Kalawarner and Dohnaseek. "He's still a human. I think," Rias added with uncertainty.
"Well then, we must report this to Raynare," Kalawarner said and she and Dohnaseek both flew off the ground.
"My name is Kalawarner," said Kalawarner and she bowed a little in respect.
"My name is Dohnaseek and I pray we do not meet again!" Dohnaseek said and he and Kalawarner both flew away.
Rias sighed and looked at Issei who was laying I her arms.
"What shall we do buchou?" Akeno asked.
Well, I'll bring him to his house. He's not going to die. I'll see to that myself," Rias said and she smiled.
Well folks that is it for this first chapter of Lost Inheritance. I hope you enjoy the story and please read and review! There was a reason why I wanted to do a rewrite and a guest was kindly enough to point out one or two mistakes, though I wish he kept the sarcasm to himself. One of the mistakes was that Issei is over 1000 years old yet only awakened his sacred gear a few days ago which is my bad because I forgot to actually explain why Issei awakened his sacred gear a few days ago instead of 1000 years ago. I was tempted to explain that in my second chapter, but I'm shooting that idea down. Anyway, please review, and have a very nice day.
