And here it is! "So I'm a Devil Now Huh?" version 2.0 and I'll just tell you now, there's obviously gonna be some changes. Like I said, I was not satisfied with the first version I wrote on this so I'm starting over from scratch. I'm also gonna be adding OCs besides Yoichi from the very beginning AND, and, Yoichi's personality, it might be a bit different (Still a battle maniac though). Without further ado, let's do this!

Prologue: The Thing That Started It All

RIIINNNGGG!

The sound of the ringing alarm clock echoed through bedroom of a young man who groaned at the noise. He raised his fist up into the air and–

BAM!

-smashed the damn thing, breaking it in the process.

The young man in question was about seventeen years of age, possessing short, messy jet black hair. He has a skinny but well-built physique and was average in height. His name is Yoichi Kakazu, a resident of Kuoh Town and a second year student at Kuoh Academy.

After a few more seconds of lying down, he opened his eyes to reveal his golden orbs and sat up. He groggily got off of his bead, went into the bathroom, and started getting ready for school.

Later

Yoichi went downstairs dressed in his school uniform which is supposed to consist of a black blazer with white accents over a white long-sleeved dress shirt with vertical linings, a black ribbon on the collar, matching black pants, and brown dress shoes. However, instead of the dress shirt with a ribbon, he wore a blue hoodie underneath his blazer.

He didn't have time to prepare breakfast for himself at this point (Didn't matter if he did though since he couldn't cook) so he just took an apple from the fridge and made his way to the front door. He left without even glancing at his big, empty house, closing the door and leaving.

Yoichi was strolling his way to school. His usual route had him go through an abandoned neighborhood. You rarely see anyone here, at least not normal civilians. There were several buildings like factories, houses and small warehouses and they were all abandoned.

"Hey you!"

Ah yes, there was also that. Yoichi turned around to see two street thugs walking up to him. Another thing about this neighborhood is that since it's abandoned, not to mention it has a lot of buildings, it became a hangout place for street thugs and delinquents. That's the reason Yoichi takes this route even though it's the farthest route he could take to school.

"Don't you know that this is a veeery bad place for you to be in? Looks like it's just not your day." The one that looked like the leader in the duo said. "Cough it up. Everything you have."

"Nope." Yoichi answered, smirk plastered on his face.

The two thugs seemed a bit taken aback by the blunt answer but then that quickly turned into irritation, "What was that?" The other guy asked threateningly.

"I said no." Yoichi answered, not feeling the least bit intimidated.

"Why you–"The leader stopped talking when Yoichi threw his school bag in the air causing the two thugs to unconsciously follow it with their eyes on reflex as it flew up into the air.

"Agh!" As they were distracted by that, Yoichi took the opportunity to punch the leader in the jaw and he fell to the floor gripping it in pain.

"Guha!" The sidekick was stunned at the fact that his boss had been knocked to the ground and failed to react when Yoichi moved to drive his elbow into his throat. The hit caused the sidekick to fall to the ground and passed out with foaming in the mouth.

"Y-you bastard…!" The leader started to get up but was stopped when Yoichi started punching him while he was down.

"Come again. I'm having a little trouble understanding you." Yoichi laughed as he deliberately punched the thug in the face several times. A more sadistic side of him started showing.

"Alright that's enough!"

Yoichi stopped hitting the guy, who was now covered in bruises, to look in the direction that the new voice came from. The sight he was greeted with was an entire gang of street thugs. And they didn't look too happy that Yoichi was beating up two of their members.

"You beat up my lackeys! You're gonna pay for that!" The man who was obviously the real leader shouted. "Get him boys!"

On his signal, all the members of the gang came charging at Yoichi, some of them with weapons and some of them intending to use their fists. Seeing this, a psychotic smirk formed on Yoichi's face.

"Alright! Make this fun for me!" Yoichi roared as he charged at the street gang that was coming at him.

Kuoh Academy

We now go to a school by the name of "Kuoh Academy". It was formerly an all-girls high school but it recently turned co-ed. Due to this, the ratio of girls is higher than the guys. This of course, caught the attention of a lot of guys and they tried to enroll here hoping to be able to find a girlfriend.

Meaning almost all the guys in the school are just a bunch of horny idiots who are pretty much thinking with their dicks. That's probably why almost none of them have girlfriends even though it's been a while since the semester started.

But moving on, strolling in through the gates of the school was Yoichi. There was no one around since classes had already started but he didn't really care all that much. He was just glad he got his morning workout.

"Kakazu, you're late! AGAIN!" The first thing Yoichi got when he entered his class was a yelling from his teacher who was a short bald man wearing a suit. "Do you have a reason?!"

"Yes." Yoichi replied.

A short pause followed.

"Well!? What's the reason?!" The teacher yelled once again. In case it wasn't obvious enough, Yoichi was not exactly his favorite student.

"I was fighting street thugs." Yoichi bluntly answered with a straight face.

This made the teacher's face go red with rage, "What the hell kind of awful reason is that?!"

"You asked for a reason, not a GOOD reason." Once again, Yoichi answered with a straight face.

"Oh god, why does he always have to do this?"

"Bad enough he gets into fights all the time, now he's disrupting class."

"He's nothing but trouble."

The students in the class groaned at Yoichi's reply. This happens almost every morning, it was funny at first but then it just got really old.

Because of that, almost every student has come to expect this kind of thing from the one named Yoichi Kakazu. They knew full well of Yoichi's battle crazed attitude, and his somewhat sarcastic attitude wasn't exactly any better. And that resulted in Yoichi being out casted.

BAM!

The teacher banged the white board with the palm of his hand, his face red with fury, "Alright you little smartass, take a seat! I've had enough of this."

And that's exactly what he did. Yoichi's seat was located at the very back of the class and as soon as he sat down he folded his hands on the desk and rested his head there.

He never really cared much for school stuff. It wasn't that he thought he was smarter than the rest, he KNEW he was smarter than the rest. And no one could actually say he was being arrogant or overconfident since his grades are pretty solid, and that's when he's slacking off.

A few minutes later he was fast asleep.

Later

It was now lunch time, most of the students were leaving the classroom but Yoichi stayed asleep. He would've kept sleeping if it wasn't for,

"Wake up Yoichi!"

That. A serious voice said filled with energy. Recognizing the voice, Yoichi groaned before groggily lifting up his head to see another student. The student was a bespectacled young man with midnight black hair combed in a clean manner, and was wearing the student uniform as cleanly as you possibly could. This young man is Tatsumi Nakamura.

"Oh, Tatsumi, sup?" Yoichi greeted nonchalantly.

Tatsumi pushed up his glasses before replying, "School is a place of knowledge. It is a place where we go to learn, a sacred place where the environment is fitting for the act of studying. Don't tarnish it by falling asleep and in class no less!"

Yoichi let out a sigh at Tatsumi's speech. Sadly, this was a normal occasion. Tatsumi has always been a serious guy so it was a wonder how these two are best friends considering personalities.

On one hand, Tatsumi is someone who takes things very seriously and tries his best in basically everything he does. On the other hand, Yoichi is someone who's nonchalant and doesn't take anything seriously if it doesn't peak his interests, and fighting was the only thing that did.

Perhaps the reason had something to do with them knowing each other since childhood. Yea, that's probably it.

"Yea, whatever you say man." Yoichi waved it off. He can't deny that despite finding Tatsumi's seriousness kind of annoying, he's basically the only friend he's got.

"Haa~ at least TRY to listen to what I'm saying to you. I cannot condone such behavior but I suppose I can let you off for today." Tatsumi nodded before changing the subject. "Anyway, I have something that I must tell you."

Yoichi decided to sit up straight after hearing that, "Alright, what is it?"

Placing his hands on his hips, Tatsumi let out a proud chuckle as he replied, "Hmhmhm, as of today my friend! I, Tatsumi Nakamura, am a part of the student council!"

"…"

No response from Yoichi. He honestly wasn't all that surprised. With Tatsumi's personality, it would've been more shocking if he HADN'T joined the student council sooner or later. His lack of response didn't seem to bring down Tatsumi at all though.

"Yes sir, me and another friend of mine by the name of Saji Genshirou, have been nominated to be a part of their rankings. It's such a proud and joyous moment for me!" Tatsumi cried tears of joy.

"Yea, whatever. What's your roll even?" Yoichi rolled his eyes.

"Me and Saji's roles are secretaries." Tatsumi replied energetically despite the fact that that role is pretty lame.

"Hey Ise! How'd you enjoy that porn dvd I lent you?"

The two of them turned to the door to see three male students passing by. One of them was a baldy, another was wearing glasses and lastly, the third one who actually looked normal, was a guy short brown hair.

"Yea, it was awesome!" the brown haired guy replied so Yoichi assumed he was the one name "Ise".

"I knew you'd like it. I had to pull some major strings to get that." the baldy replied and the rest of their conversation was not heard as they had pass the classroom.

Yoichi turned to Tatsumi and asked, "Ok, who the hell were those guys."

Tatsumi adjusted his glasses before answering, "I'm surprised you don't know. Those three are the ones known as the perverted trio!" Tatsumi yelled as he climbed up Yoichi's desk and spoke like an announcer. "The first member, Matsuda or better known as "Perverted Baldy" or "Sexual Harassment Paparazzi"! He was a former jock and sports start but is now a member of the school photo club. He's also a self-proclaimed lolicon."

"Get off my desk." Yoichi deadpanned.

Tatsumi ignored what he said and simply continued, "The second member is Motohama who has the ability to calculate a female body's three sizes which earned him nicknames such as "Perverted Glasses" or "Three Size Scouter"!"

"And lastly is Issei Hyoudou! Their leader who is absolutely OBSESSED with women's breast! Together, the three of them make up the perverted trio!" Tatsumi finished up with a stupid pose, still standing on Yoichi's desk.

"…You sure know a lot." Yoichi rolled his eyes.

"Of course!" Tatsumi replied. "Anyway, I can't let that slide. I must apprehend them for their lecherous behavior and send them towards the right path!" and with that, Tatsumi got off the desk and ran out the door after them.

Rolling his eyes one more time, Yoichi once again rested his head on the desk and decided to catch some Z's.

End of School

Yoichi was walking home, as always, nothing really interesting happened at school. Besides that little talk with Tatsumi during lunch, nothing else really happened. He didn't even know if he could call that talk interesting (Since it wasn't).

He was once again walking by the neighborhood that he walked through almost every day, the abandoned one. There was not a single trace of life here at night. It was understandable, the place just seemed to get a creepier vibe at night.

Yoichi's surprised that there hasn't been a rumor about this neighborhood being haunted or something. Or maybe there was and he just missed it.

"Haa~, all I want is a good fight." Yoichi sighed in slight frustration. It was usually during this time of the day that he started thinking about things.

Academics, career path, future goals? He didn't care about all that. With HIS grades, he's pretty sure he could get any job he wanted when he finishes school.

So what's the point of thinking about it now? Right now, all he wanted was a good fight. Fighting all those delinquents and street thugs were fun at first but then it easier as he kept on doing it. Wasn't there anyone in this freaking town who could give him a challenge?

Tap!

The sound of a sudden footstep caused Yoichi to immediately turn his head to the source. Who could it have been? He's never seen anyone here except for maybe some drunken old men on rare occasions.

But what he saw wasn't an old man, it was a girl. Yoichi could only see her back but he was able to make out some of her features. She had white hair in a bob cut and she her size was pretty small, almost like a little girl. However, Yoichi chose to think that she wasn't a child considering she was wearing the girl's uniform from his school, probably a first year.

Aside from that, as if it wasn't shocking enough to see another person here, other than the fact that she was a girl, is the fact that she was entering one of the abandoned factories in the neighbourhood.

'The hell is she? And the hell is she doing here?' Yoichi thought to himself. A part of him was curious and wanted to follow the girl in but another part told him to just be on his way. In the end, curiosity got the better of him and he followed her in.

As he ran inside, he took a look around the factory. To sum it up, the place was a total dump. The weird thing is, he saw no sign of the girl, even though he walked in right after her.

Realizing he wasn't gonna get anywhere with just standing around, he decided to start walking. He was about to go check by some of the broken machines but then,

"Well, look what we have here~?"

The voice of a man suddenly cut in and Yoichi stopped in his tracks. He looked around his surroundings to see where the voice had come from. So not only does he see a white haired loli around these parts but now apparently there's a man.

"Indeed brother~, it seems another meal has shown up in our resting place~"

And now apparently there's a woman as well, because that other new voice was definitely the voice of one.

Yoichi kept his cool as he called out, "Why don't you two come out?"

Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.

Footsteps sounded across the empty factory. Out from the shadows came a man and a woman. The man looked around his mid-20s with spiked up blonde hair and yellow eyes. He appeared to have razor sharp teeth and was wearing a black suit.

The woman on the other hand looked around her early 20s with long messy blonde hair going in all directions and green eyes. She also appeared to have razor sharp teeth and was wearing a black frilly dress.

They were both staring at Yoichi like wild animals eyeing their prey.

"Good evening young man." The man greeted with a smirk.

"Sup." Yoichi raised a hand and greeted casually. He didn't like the man's tone but until he started showing hostility, Yoichi wasn't gonna let it affect him yet.

"How nice of you to come here." The woman said also with a smirk. "That little girl entered here just a few seconds ago. After we're done eating you, she's next."

Yoichi raised an eyebrow at what she said, "Eat me? What's that supposed to mean?"

"This!" the man yelled out before eight spider arms grew out of his back and several more eyes popped up on his face, every single one of them red. The woman had also morphed like this.

"Get over here!" She yelled as she lunged forward, her spider arms going in to catch Yoichi who jumped back and avoided it.

Yoichi stayed silent staring at the two for a moment, "Ok, what the hell are you two?" Despite the situation, he was still able to stay calm.

"We are stray devils!" The man…spider… thing, said and that only served to confuse Yoichi.

'The hell's a stray devil?' He thought to himself.

"Doesn't matter though, you're gonna be our dinner!" The woman spider thing yelled as she shot out a web from her mouth.

"Tch!" Yoichi tried to evade it but he wasn't quick enough and the web wrapped around his body, tying him up. He then started struggling to try and get out of it but obviously, that failed.

"Kakakakakaka! Time to eat!" The male spider monster started making his way to Yoichi's tied up body, the female waiting behind. The latter knowing where this is going. This is the part where he gets eaten.

"GAK!" or at least that's what he thought until the spider got kicked in the face. The thing that surprised Yoichi even more was that the person who kicked the tiny girl he saw outside.

The male spider took a second to shake off the pain of getting his face kicked in before looking towards the little girl, "You little shit! You're gonna pay for that!"

"…suck it." The girl replied back in monotone.

"GYAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" The giant male spider monster let out a screech as he charged towards the tiny girl.

BOOM!

He stomped his foot on her…only to see that she stopped it with just one hand.

"…Fly." That was all she said before she sent the giant ass spider flying with just a punch.

"Ha!" even though it wasn't exactly the best situation, Yoichi couldn't help but get excited when he saw the girls superhuman strength. If he got out of this alive, he's gonna make sure he finds this tiny chick and fight her.

The girl turned around to look at him for a moment, "…who are you?" she asked, still in her monotone voice. He's gonna assume that's just how she is.

"Yoichi Kakazu, nice to meetcha." He greeted casually despite being tied up and having seen this odd scene of a giant spider monster and a little girl with a huge amount of strength.

The girl showed no emotion to his response and simply continued to her next question, "…why are you here?"

"Saw you walked in and followed you." Yoichi shrugged. "By the way, the other one's coming." He stated calmly.

"DON'T IGNORE MEEEEEEEEE!" The female spider monster screeched as it charged towards the two of them. The tiny girl simply picked up the tied up Yoichi and jumped out of the way.

Bam!

And with her targets out of the way, the giant thing crashed into the wall. The crash made it a little dizzy and it couldn't walk steady for a bit.

"Can you get me out of this?" Yoichi took the time to ask while the monster was neutralized for a bit.

The girl stared at him for a bit before wordlessly putting him down and used her strength to rip off the web that was tying up Yoichi.

"Thanks." He said as he got up and started stretching.

"…You should leave." The girl said.

"GET OVER HERE!" as if life decided to just mess with them, the male spider monster was back and was already pouncing on them, both jumped and avoided him. "We'll eat you! Both of you!" it screeched in anger.

"That's right!" The female spider monster lady also screeched as it got out of its daze.

"…"

"…"

Yoichi and the little girl didn't say a thing in response. Yoichi went and grabbed a lever on one of the broken machines and pulled it out of its hedges.

"Yea, I think I'll stay." He said as a smirk formed on his face.

"…no, you should lea–"

"They're not just gonna let me walk out." He cut the tiny girl off. "I'll take the male, you take the female."

The girl just simply stared at him for a bit before shrugging, "…your funeral."

"RAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" as if he had enough, the male spider monster pounced onto Yoichi, the little girl jumping out of the way.

"Gak!" the monster let out a grunt and some blood flowed out of its mouth. Yoichi had stabbed the lever he pulled out into the spider's stomach when it pounced on him.

He then rolled out from under it. "Didn't expect that, did ya?"

"Y-y-you…S-s-shitty…human!" It choked out as it backed away slightly. However, he wasn't finished just yet. "HAH!"

"Mph!"

The spider shot out a web from his mouth and it stucked itself onto Yoichi's face. The latter didn't panic however, he calmly placed a hand on his webbed face and tried to pull it out.

"As is I'd let you do that!"

The monster pounced and stabbed his leg right through Yoichi's stomach and he fell over.

'Ah crap, let my guard down.' He thought to himself. He could feel the warm liquid of his blood slowly leaving his body. He was bleeding to death.

"At last! Time to eat!" Yoichi still couldn't see anything because of the web that's still on his face but he could feel a pair of sharp, hairy spider legs pick him up.

'So this is where it ends. Oh well.' He thought to himself.

BAM!

"Gak!"

Only to hear the spider grunt in pain as it once again kicked in the face by the tiny girl. Looks like she had finished her fight and was now helping him.

"You insolent little girl! I'll end yo–Bah!" The monsters yell were cut off when the girl punched it in the face and sent it flying towards the wall.

"…Die." The girl said in monotone before launching a kick at the monster and it splattered all over the wall. As if it was a fly and a swatter had just hit it.

Having finish with that, the girl walked up to the bleeding to death Yoichi and ripped the web off of his face.

Now this was a complicated night for Koneko Toujou. She had just been sent by her master to handle two stray devils that were hiding out in an area that was supposedly abandoned. It was said that they shouldn't be any problem to her since they were supposedly called weak.

When she arrived to their hideout, she went inside and checked deeper into the place. However after a few minutes of looking around she heard a lot of noises coming from the entrance of the building.

When she checked to see what was going on, it was quite shocking when she saw someone from her school in this supposedly abandoned building in an abandoned neighbourhood. Not just that, but he was also tied up and was about to get eaten by the stray devils she was sent to eliminate.

Of course, she had to save him and when she did, she found out his name was "Yoichi Kakazu". After that, there was a scuffle and it ended with him bleeding to death on the floor. Koneko walked up to him to check up on him.

"…You alright?" She asked.

"Oh yea, bleeding to death is a hobby of mine." He answered with sarcasm despite his situation. In normal circumstances, Koneko would've gotten annoyed or retorted with her own remark but since he was dying, she decided not to.

"…I can't exactly help you." She said but then took out a flyer with a weird symbol that Yoichi had never seen before, "…make a wish." She said as she placed it on his hand.

Yoichi raised an eyebrow, "…What?" he choked out.

"…Be greedy. Wish for something you want most." She said, her face still as emotionless as ever.

Yoichi took a second to think it over. Whatever he wanted most? That was an easy question, and even though he didn't know what that'll do to help the situation but then decided to just go with it. Not like he had much to lose right now.

"…I…want…to fight a strong opponent!" He yelled out with as much energy as he could. It was getting harder to speak with the huge amount of blood he was losing as every second passed. And as he finished that sentence, he had passed out.

It was at that moment that the flyer in his hand flew up into the air and turned into a magic circle. From it, came a beautiful girl that Koneko very well knew. She had long flowing crimson hair and was wearing the Kuoh Academy girl's uniform. This girl is Rias Gremory.

"…Buchou." Koneko greeted with a small bow.

"Koneko?" Rias asked a little bit confused before seeing the bleeding to death Yoichi on the ground. "Ah, I see the job didn't go to well."

"…Yes, I don't know where he came from." Koneko said. "…He's going to die if we don't do something."

Rias nodded before walking up to Yoichi's body.

"–!"

But for some reason, when she walked up to it, she felt something. Something in her gut was telling her there was something about this boy. Could it be a sacred gear?

"Koneko, I think we just got lucky." Rias said as a smile grew on her face.

Koneko tilted her head in confusion. Rias took it as a sign to continue.

"I think there might just be a place for this boy in our team." Rias said.

And that was the event that changed it all.

Chapter End

And that's a wrap for the prologue. What'd you think? I think with this prologue we now know, how bad I am at prologues. Oh the terrible Segway into the next scene? I thought we already knew I'm terrible at that. And just so you know, I know that the last scene with Rias was VERY force, I couldn't think of anything else so deal with it (or don't, your choice if you want to read or not).

On a serious note, please do let me know what you think so far. And on another note, Anyone else hyped up for the final episode of Re:Zero? I certainly am.
