Chapter 1: Who's the new guy?

Darkness.

Everywhere, just black. Nothing to be seen, and nothing to be heard.

Inside that darkness, an outline formed. The outline of a person standing in the middle of the darkness. They didn't move, they didn't speak, they seemingly didn't even breathe. They just stood there.

And then, the person began hearing voices in the distance, echoing inside the dark.

.

.

.

"Hey sis, will things ever get better?" a young boy's concerned voice echoed around the person.

"Of course they will little man" a woman's voice echoed right after, speaking calmly. "As long as you have faith, things will eventually get better~"

"Really?" the boy asked, receiving a decisive answer from his sister.

"Really."

Immediately after, distant screams began filling the void. A sensation of heat followed right after, as the person became enveloped in flames. They still didn't move, however.

"Sis...sis, get up.." the same voice from before sobbed, his voice failing.

"I'm..s-sorry little man...Big Sis c-can't get..out of t-this one..." his sister's weak voice echoed, followed by more sobbing. "Don't cry…Run...You need to get o-out of here...before the f-fire get's you too..." her voice got weaker and weaker, before it faded altogether.

"S-Sis…? Sis!" the boy cried, as the flames around the person intensified.

"Fate is a cruel mistress" a masculine voice echoed, as the flames surrounding the person were suddenly extinguished.

"Kid. State you wish. Your dream" a strong male voice asked, echoing several times in the darkness around the person.

"I want power..." the boy mumbled "I want enough power to crush anyone who stands in my way!"

"Even it that someone is God?" the male voice asked again, in a rather amused tone.

"I don't care who it is! I want the power to crush them all!" the boy exclaimed, rage and determination clear in his voice.

And then, laughter filled the void, echoing in the persons head.

"Hahaha!" the male continued to laugh for a bit, before he stopped. "You're but a child. Taking on God, is an unattainable dream for mortals like you" although the person couldn't see or hear it, he could feel the boy gritting his teeth in frustration, anger building up inside. "However, who said it was impossible?"

"What do you mean?" the boy asked.

"Your vision, grants for a very entertaining future. Quite frankly, such a future is needed in this boring world" the male said "I will make your dream a reality, and grant you the power you need to battle God. However, as you are now, you are nothing but human. The only way for your dream to become a reality is to abandon your humanity. Though that shouldn't affect you much, considering what you were..."

"I could care less about my humanity!" the young one exclaimed.

"Hm! Then so be it!" the male answered, before an intense pain began coursing through the persons body, followed by the little boy's pained cries.

"You could say I've shared some of my own characteristics with you. A neat little trick I discovered some time ago. From now on, your path will be filled with battle, and I cannot vouch for any losses you suffer through it. But know that in the end, you will achieve your dream, as long as you have enough patience."

After the male's voice faded, screams began being heard in the distance, followed by explosions. The person then began seeing the unfolding event.

People running away in terror, as flames raged behind them, consuming everything in their path and lighting up the night sky. Hearing loud roaring in the sky, the person tilted their head upward.

Flying above the flames, was a large western dragon, with black scales and four wings, as well as a long tail with something like a stinger at the tip.

The dragon roared, before it reared it's head back.

However, that's where the tape ended, and the void of black returned, enveloping the person once again.

"Peace doesn't last forever" the same masculine voice from before resounded, before the sound of battle was heard around the person.

Swords clashing against one another, various explosions in the background, cries of soldiers charging into battle, and roars of beasts clashing.

"The problem with war, is that it always drags the innocent into the conflict" the voice said, as the person became surrounded by flames once again. "This world needs to change. However, drastic measures are needed, for such a thing to happen."

Then, an ear deafening roar resounded through the void, followed by the sound of what can only be described as destruction. Hundreds of thousands of voices, seemingly erased out of existence in the blink of an eye.

Through those voices, were the roars of multiple other dragons, before they were silenced as well.

The sound of battle resumed, however it seemed to be between two beings now. A dragon, and someone else. And soon enough, the sound of flesh being ripped off echoed in the persons head, as the taste of blood flooded their mouth.

"Father!" the voice of a young man exclaimed worriedly, followed by a few others.

"Focus on the other two! They still have some fight in them!" a strong voice answered firmly "I will deal with this! If I have to sacrifice an arm, then so be it!

And so, the battle resumed once again, until the roars of the dragon were gradually silenced, as his opponent came out victorious.

"Such destruction cannot be allowed into the world..." the strong voice said, exhausted. "Still, for such a thing to happen...I'm sorry child but you will be sealed away now. I cannot allow your rampage to continue, especially not with it on our doorstep."

And then, the flames surrounding the person vanished, leaving them in complete darkness, once again.

"Through the course of history, people have lead other people. And for just as long, people have used others to their own advantage, disregarding those innocent lives. But no more. I will eradicate them all. And I will destroy the rotten system of this world.

Then…

.

.

.

..I will rebuild it all in my image!"

"...Nyyeeh.." a young man groaned, as rays of sunlight seeped through the blinds, landing right on his face. Raising his body, he blinked his eyes open, looking to his right, where his clock was placed.

"6:50 AM…?" he mumbled, before falling silent for a moment, a blank expression on his face. "Fuck I'm late." and with that, he swiftly got out of bed, before heading out of his bedroom, and into the bathroom at the end of the hall.

A while later, the boy came out of the bath, a towel draped around his shoulders, his messy midnight black hair still dripping a little bit of water. His solution, was to shake his head vigorously, like a dog.

After he finished getting his hair in order, he made his way back into his room.

Going over to his night stand, he pulled out a little package, which he place on the bed. Opening it, he took out a gray uniform, along with a white button up shirt. Looking at the uniform, the boy raised an eyebrow.

"Well, it's certainly different than the uniforms I wore in the past, but this one is certainly better...Pretty sure I'm allergic to those skin tight suits now..." he cringed, beginning to suit himself up.

Adjusting his collar, he rolled up his sleeves, before picking up his brown leather bag, flinging it on his back, and heading downstairs. Passing by the kitchen, he quickly stopped, and back tracked.

"Cliche, but who cares" he said, before stuffing a piece of toast in his mouth, and heading toward the door.

Quickly putting his shoes on, he stepped outside, locked the door, and began down the street, and little note in his hand. He quickly checked the watch on his wrist as well.

"7:20 AM...I think If I hurry I can make it in time" the boy mumbled, munching on his toast, and stuffing the note in his breast pocket. "I need to stop forgetting to set the alarm from now on. It may be my first day, but I hear Kuoh Academy is pretty strict, so it's better to be safe than sorry" he mumbled, finishing the last bit of toast. "Fashionably late, I think it's called."

And so, the young man continued on his way, walking fast enough to arrive in time at his new school. However, after walking for a while, he stumbled across a rather strange sight.

"Moouu...Why do I keep getting lost?" a young girl mumbled, looking around confused. Rather, a young woman seemingly trapped in a child's body.

She was a rather attractive young woman around her late teens, with black hair tied into ponytails and violet eyes. However, what really caught the boys attention, was her attire, which consisted of a pink magical girl's outfit. She even had a magic wand.

'That's not the only thing she has...' the boy mumbled in his mind, noticing the rather evident bumps on her chest, which bounced everytime she snapped her head to look around.

"Muu..At this rate I'm not going to be able to see my dear So-tan!" the girl exclaimed, tiny tears welling up in her eyes. Sweatdropping, the boy walked over.

"Are you alright there miss?" he asked, making the woman turn to him, her eyes still a little teary.

"I'm trying to find my So-tan but I keep getting lost" she sniffled a bit, her eyes turning into the puppy dog eyes, causing the boy to sweatdrop further.

"Okay...Where is your...'So-tan' supposed to be?" he asked, trying to help the woman.

"Kuoh Academy!" the woman answered immediately, nearing the boy's face, causing him to lean back, without actually moving from his spot.

"Kuoh?" receiving a strong nod in return, the boy stepped back, and nodded his head once. "I'm was actually just on my way to Kuoh Academy" he said, making the woman's face light up. "I can take you there if y-urk?!" he didn't even get to finish his sentence, before the woman suddenly clung to him like glue, looking up at the boy with a beaming smile.

"Yes please~ This is very important for me!" she answered seriously, making the teen sweatdrop again.

"Alright then..." he giggled awkwardly, as he gently pried the woman off of him, and placed her back on her feet. He then turned and pointed down the street. "Kuoh Academy is that way" he said, glancing back at the woman, only to find himself getting dragged along by her, surprised at the amount of strength she had.

"Then let's get a move on! I need my So-tan cuddles~" the woman exclaimed, pointing her wand forward.

And so, after managing to escape the woman's hold and get back on his own two feet, the two began making their way to Kuoh Academy, with the boy leading the way, as the woman walked next to him, a cheerful smile on her face.

After a few minutes of walking, the two arrived at the front gates of Kuoh, the academy itself standing tall in front of the pair.

"Well, here we are" the boy said, looking at the woman next to him. Said woman looked back with a smile, before throwing her arms around the boy, enveloping him in a bone crushing hug.

"Yes, thank you! Now I can finally go see my So-tan before those old geezers drag me back!" she exclaimed happily, before letting the boy go. As the boy got his bearings back together, the girl reached behind her, and produced a little flyer, which she extended toward the boy.

"What's this?" the boy asked, looking at the intricate blue symbol on the flyer with curiosity.

"It doesn't really matter what it is~" the woman smiled "Just have it on you wherever you go. And if you ever find yourself in trouble, think of me and Magical Girl Sera-tan will pop right up to save you!" she exclaimed, doing a little pose, making her boobs jiggle. A little blush creeped onto the boys face, as well as all the other boys that were passing by, while the girls looked on confused.

"Okay then..." the boy mumbled, putting the flyer in his back pocket, as the woman adjusted her hat, before turning and waving at him.

"Alrighty then~ Now please excuse me while I go search for my So-tan~" she said, before taking off toward the school, with astounding speed, leaving the boy to look on blankly.

"...Well that just happened" he mumbled, as the woman disappeared from view completely. Shaking his head slightly, he followed her example, although much more slowly, and began stepped through the gates.

Walking on campus, the boy couldn't help but notice the students that had started whispering to themselves, as they watched him make his way toward the school building.

"Who's that guy?" one girl asked, her friends, who shrugged.

"I don't know...Maybe it's that new transfer student I've heard rumors about!" one of her friends exclaimed happily.

"I sure hope he is...I have a thing for foreigners~" another one mumbled, a blush adorning her face.

"You really can't hold back when it comes to foreign students do you…?" the first girl asked, sweatdropping at her friend, whose blush became even more noticeable.

"I think I'll need some replacements soon~" she mumbled, making her friends take a step away from her, creeped out looks on their faces.

Shaking his head, the boy decided to ignore the carnal desires he was apparently creating, and tried to focus on getting in the academy. However, as he tuned out the girls, some of the boys were heard.

"Grr...Dammit he's already stealing the hot chicks!" some guys exclaimed, gritting his teeth.

"What kind of crap is this?! He's not even been here for five minutes!" one of his friends joined in, followed by a third.

"Yeah! There's already only a handful of chicks that are willing to go out with people like us! Don't steal them too!" he shouted, as tears streamed down his face.

'What have I gotten myself into…?' the boy grumbled in his mind, releasing a sigh as his expression turned more blank with every comment he heard.

After what seemed like an eternity, which was only 30 seconds, the boy finally managed to enter the academy, temporarily escaping the whispering students. Looking around, he quickly located the school plan, making his way over.

"Let's see..." he mumbled, studying the plan. However, as he did that, he failed to notice a person approaching him.

"Can I help you?" a feminine voice suddenly spoke up.

"Nyeah!" the boy squeaked in surprise, spinning around to look behind him.

Standing behind him, was a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure, her long black hair tied by an orange ribbon into a single ponytail that reached all the way down to her legs, two strands sticking out from the top which sloped backward. She was wearing the girls' uniform at Kuoh Academy, consisting of a white long-sleeved, button down shirt with a black ribbon on her shirt collar worn under a black shoulder cape and a matching button-down corset, a magenta skirt with white accents, and brown dress shoes, along with black calf-length socks. Her relaxed violet eyes were currently peering into the boys fluorescent blue ones, a friendly smile on her face.

"Uh...hello" the boy greeted awkwardly, having being taken by surprise. The girl giggled a bit, before bowing her head.

"Good day to you~" she greeted, looking back at the teen, her smile never leaving her face. "You seem a little lost" she remarked, as the boy scratched his cheek awkwardly.

"Well, this is my first time here...Would be a little weird if I already knew my way around~" he chuckled, a little sweatdrop on his face.

"Well, you're certainly right about that, ufufu~" the girl giggled sweetly "You must be the new transfer student, right?" the boy nodded, making the girls smile widen a bit. "Then you need to check in with the Student Council. I can take you there if you want?" she offered, the boy needing but a second to agree.

"That would be very nice of you" he bowed his head a little, hearing another 'ufufu' from the girl. She then turned toward the stairs, glancing back at the boy.

"The Student Council is on the second floor. We should get going, since the president is a little strict when it comes to upholding rules and such~"

"Wouldn't want to make a bad impression, right?" the boy guessed, as the pair began going up the stairs. The girl turned to him, her smile ever present.

"You're certainly right about that~" she replied, nodding her head slightly.

The two walked in silence for a while, neither teen saying anything. It didn't take long before they ended up walking through a lone hallway, a solid wooden door at the end. Reaching said door, the girl knocked a few times, and waited.

"Come in" a voice called from the other side, prompting the girl to open the door, before her and the boy stepped inside.

Looking around the spacious room, the boy noticed a few other students, currently keeping themselves busy by taking care of some papers. And in the back of the room, was a solid oak desk, two girls wearing the Kuoh girls' uniform standing behind it.

One of them was a beautiful young woman with a buxom figure, and flowing crimson hair, reaching down to her thighs. On top of her head, a single strand of hair stood up, forming an ahoge. Her hair was also quite a strong contrast to her eyes, which were mixed between a green and blue color.

The second one was a young bespectacled woman, with violet eyes, and black hair styled into a short bob cut. And she seemed to be discussing something with her red haired friend, before noticing the new faces in the room.

"Akeno? Did something happen?" the young redhead asked. The newly named Akeno, gestured toward the boy next to her.

"I happened upon our new transfer student in the hall. He didn't know where the Student Council was, so I offered to help~" she said, making everyone perk up at the mention of 'transfer student'.

"Then you must be Kurokawa-san" the bespectacled woman said, glancing at the papers on her desk. Standing up, she made her way over to the boy, and extended her hand. "My name is Souna Shitori. It is a pleasure to meet you" she greeted, as the boy grasped her hand and shook it.

"Shintarou Kurokawa, but you already knew that~" the boy chuckled awkwardly "And please, the pleasure is mine."

"Humble" Souna remarked, looking at Shin with a tiny smile "Not a bad trait to have."

Shin could only chuckle a bit, not sure as to what he should say. Letting Shin's hand go, Souna gestured toward the other people in the room.

"These are the rest of the rest of the Student Council members. Everyone, please introduce yourselves" she instructed, as the students stood up.

"Heya! I'm Tomoe Meguri! Nice to meet you~" a girl with reddish-brown hair greeted energetically, making Shin wave awkwardly. After Tomoe, a short girl with brown hair tied into long ponytails stepped up.

"Hello! My name's Ruruko Nimura! It's nice to meet ya" she said, bowing her head a little, a gesture that Shin returned. Then, a girl with short blue hair took over.

"My name is Tsubasa Yura. Pleased to meet you." she ended her introduction with a slight bow. A little surprised at the short introduction, Shin bowed his head regardless.

Shin then looked over to his right, where a girl with medium length white hair stepped forward.

"Hello, Kurokawa-san. I'm Momo Hanakai. It's nice to meet you" she greeted with a smile, getting a smile in return from Shin. Then, a girl with long brown hair ending in two braids stepped up.

"Good day to you Kurokawa-san. My name is Reya Kusaka. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." she bowed, prompting Shin to return the gesture. Then, he looked over at a young bespectacled woman with long black hair that reached to her knees, and heterochromic eyes.

"A pleasure to meet you Kurokawa-san. My name is Tsubaki Shinra, the Vice-President of the Student Council" she said, bowing her head. Shin quickly returned the gesture, bowing a little deeper than with the other students council members, due to Tsubaki being the Vice-President.

Finally, Shin looked over at a young man around his age, with short blond hair, wearing an altered version of the boys uniform, although without the blazer and the sleeves rolled up.

"Name's Genshiro Saji. Nice to meet ya" he greeted halfheartedly, making Souna look at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Saji, what did I say about greeting fellow students" she asked, more like stated, making Saji suddenly straighten up.

"I-I mean, hello Kurokawa-san! My name is Genshiro Saji! It's a pleasure to meet you!" he said like a robot, making Souna nod in approval, while Shin sweatdropped. Looking back, Souna turned her sights to the other two females in the room.

"Why don't you two introduce yourselves as well?" she suggested, as the red hair stepped forward, a friendly smile on her face.

"It's nice to meet you Kurokawa-kun. My name is Rias Gremory" Rias greeted, as Shin subtly raised an eyebrow and the '-kun' suffix she used, but decided to ignore it for now. "Akeno?" she looked over at the raven haired beauty, who giggled in her hand, before turning to Shin.

"Fufu~ My name is Akeno Himejima~ It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Kurokawa-san~" she bowed, adding a seductive undertone for the word 'pleasure', something Shin didn't miss. He did however get distracted by Akeno's assets, who jiggled when she bowed.

Souna then glanced at the clock, noting that it was almost time for classes to start.

"Alright, it looks like introduction took a little more than I anticipated" she noted, looking back at Shin. "There's not enough time to show you around the entire school, but I think we can manage to show you just enough for you to still arrive to class fashionably late."

He opened his mouth to respond, however it seems he was beaten to the punch, as a familiar female voice resounded.

"SOOOO-TAAAANN!" as the voice echoed through the hallway behind the wooden doors, Souna paled, while everyone else bar Shin opened their eyes wide in surprise, as well as a little fear.

*BANG!*

And no sooner, did the doors get banged open, as the magical girl from before now stood in the room. She didn't say anything, but scanned the room, before immediately jumping toward Souna, enveloping her in the same bone crushing hug that she used on Shin.

Said boy also opened his eyes in surprise, but for different reasons than the rest of the people around him.

"So-tan, you have no idea how much I've missed you~!" the girl Shin knew as 'Sera' exclaimed, spinning Souna around. Poor girl having the biggest blush of embarrassment on her face.

"I kept getting lost, and somehow no one was around to show me where Kuoh was, but then this cute guy showed up and showed me the way, and then we arrived, and I gave him the magic flyer and then I tried to find you but I kept getting lost again, before I remembered that I can just teleport to you, but by the time I realized that I was right outside that door behind me!" although she talked fast, the people in the room still managed to catch everything she said, and again, everyone bar Shin opened their eyes even wider, as Sera talked about 'magic' and 'teleportation', worry appearing on their face.

"Did ya miss me~?!" Sera exclaimed, finally putting Souna back on the ground. Said girl took a second to get her thoughts back together, before quickly snapping her head toward Sera.

"O-Onee-sama! We're not alone!" she whisper-yelled, glancing at Shin, who was standing next to Akeno awkwardly. Catching the glance, Sera turned looked behind her, finally noticing Shin. "Oh, it's you again~ How are you~?" she greeted with a childish smile, making everyone sweatdrop, and turn their sights to Shin.

"I-I'm good, thank you for asking..." he smiled, scratching his cheek awkwardly. Sera nodded her head, before turning back to Souna.

"He's a really nice guy, So-tan~ Maybe you should think about recruiting him too~" she blurted out, making Souna, Rias and Akeno's eyes become wide as dinner plates.

"Recruit?" Shin titled his head to the side in confusion, making the aforementioned girls pale slightly. And then, a light bulb appeared above his head. "Oh, you must mean like recruit into the Student Council, don't you~?" he guessed, tapping his fist into his palm. Hearing his response, the other students released a breath.

"Y-Yes that's right!" Souna answered quickly, not letting any other idea roam in Shin's head. "But I would have to wait for a little longer until I can consider offering you a position into the Student Council" she managed to compose herself enough to save the situation.

"No need to~ Student Council-ing isn't for me~" he chuckled, rubbing the back of his head. Sighing in relief, Souna quickly glanced at Rias, who nodded her head in understanding.

"Well, Kurokawa-kun, it looks like Souna is a little busy right now, so allow us to show you around instead~" Rias said, quickly turning around and leaving the room, Akeno following soon after, grabbing Shin's had and dragging him along.

As the three left the room, Shin watched as the doors to the Student Council closed, before the sounds of a commotion could be heard, causing him to sweatdrop.

"Is something happening in there?" he asked, worried for what was possibly going down in the Student Council room.

"Everything will be just fine, Kurokawa-san~" Akeno responded, letting go of Shin's hand, allowing him to follow on his own.

The three walked around the school for a bit, with Rias showing Shin all the rooms he needed to know at the beginning, such as the locker rooms, the infirmary, bathroom and whatnot. Walking through the hallways, Rias turned to the young teen.

"Say, what classroom are you in, Kurokawa-kun?" she asked, as Shin pulled out the same slip of paper from before.

"It says here that I'm in class 2-B" Shin answered, putting the note back in his pocket. Rias hummed in thought, softly raising an eyebrow.

"Then we'll end the tour with your classroom. I hope you didn't get too bored~" she chuckled, making Shin smile a bit in return.

"Well, knowing your way around can come in handy, so it may have been a little boring, but certainly not useless~" he chuckled, as the three approached the door to a classroom. Rias then knocked on the door, and waited for the teacher to open it.

Moments prior, inside Class 2-B…

"Hey have you guys heard?" a girl whispered to her friends, as the teacher wrote something on the black board.

"Are you talking about this morning?" a girl with brown hair asked, getting the attention of most of the class.

"Yeah, I heard there was a new transfer student!" the first girl exclaimed, making everyone turn to her.

"Really? I hope it's a cute guy~" a girl with pink hair said, blushing a bit.

The boys in class, on the other hand…

"Nah man, I hope it's a hot chick" a guy in the back mumbled, leaning over to his friend.

"Yeah one with big boobs!" his friend exclaimed. At that, a boy with brown hair, wearing his student uniform open, exposing his red T-Shirt, perked up. Before he could join the conversation however, a knock was heard, making literally everyone turn their heads toward the door.

The teacher quickly glanced at a book on his desk, before looking back at the door.

"I wonder..." he mumbled, going over to open the door.

Stepping outside in the hallway, he noticed Rias and Akeno standing next to an unknown young man.

"Ah, there you were. Kurokawa-san, I presume?" the teacher asked, getting a nod from Shin. "Alright then. Please wait out here for a second" he said, returning to the classroom, where Shin could hear him settling the class down.

"Well, I wish you the best of luck, Kurokawa-kun~ We need to head to our own classes now" Rias said, giving Shin a wink, before turning to leave. Akeno followed suit, but not before quickly leaning into Shin's ear.

"If you ever need any help, I'm more than willing to help~" she whispered, before giving Shin a flirty wink, and following after Rias.

"You may come in now" Shin heard the teachers voice call out. Taking a deep breath, Shin opened the door, and stepped inside.

Inside, the female faces lit up, while the male fell, as the midnight haired boy made his way to the teacher's desk, awkwardly glancing at the students to his right.

"Why don't you introduce yourself, Kurokawa-kun?" the teacher suggested, as Shin stood next to the desk. Nodding, Shin turned to the class.

"Well, a good day to you all. My name is Shintarou Kurokawa, but friends call me Shin. I hope we can all get along" he greeted, bowing his head. Nodding, the teacher turned to the students.

"We can spare a few minutes, so if any of you have any questions, now's the time to ask" he said, almost all girls immediately raising their hands. Sweatdropping a bit, the teacher nodded his head at a girl with short pink hair. "Katase?"

"Do you have a girlfriend?" she asked straight out, taking Shin by surprise. The boy tried to respond, but it seems er question broke the dam.

"Are you open to a polygamous relationship?" another girl butted in, before Shin could speak.

"How many girlfriends did you have?" and another…

"What are you looking for in a girl?" yet again…

"Do you work out?"

"Is that your real eye color?"

"How are you so hot?!" a random girl exclaimed, making Shin raise an eyebrow. However, it was now the boys turn to ask questions, shutting Shin up again.

"What's your secret?!" a boy exclaimed, followed by some others.

"How do you do this?!"

"Stop stealing all of the girls Handsome!" a bald male student exclaimed, followed by his neighbor, a boy with large glasses.

"Yeah, your kind should just burn down!"

"Do you like girls with big oppai?!" the brown haired boy exclaimed, clenching his fist with passion.

"ALRIGHT, EVERYONE QUIET DOWN!" the teacher exclaimed, effectively shutting all students up. Sighing, he turned his head to Shin, who was awkwardly standing there, sweatdropping as all eyes were on him. "Kurokawa-kun, I think it would be best if you just took a seat. Any preference?" he asked. Shin opened his mouth to speak…

"N-nieeghh..?"...however what came out was a strange squeaking sound, that no one really understood.

'That wasn't an answer, that was a malfunction...' was the collective thought of the students, who sweatdropped.

"Uh..what?" the teacher was in the same boat as the students, sweatdropping at Shin's unusual response. Said boy began rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.

"S-Sorry about that...I make random noises when I feel under pressure~" he chuckled, his voice cracking a little toward the end. Nodding his head once again, the teacher released a breath, before looking at the clock.

"Well, looks like we're running out of time. We can continue this during recess, if your fellow students can think of more decent questions, that is" he said, raising an eyebrow at the class, who looked a little sheepish. "You can take a seat in front of Hyoudou. Issei, please raise your hand so Kurokawa-san knows where to go" he called, as the brown haired boy from before raised his hand.

Nodding his head, Shin walked forward, seating himself conveniently by the window. He looked forward as the teacher resumed the lesson, before he felt someone tapping his shoulder. Glancing behind him, he saw the brown haired boy extending his hand toward him, a friendly smile on his face.

"I'm Issei Hyoudou. Nice to meet you" he greeted. Shin smiled a bit as well, before grasping Issei's hand and shaking it.

.

.

.

"...Why do I get the feeling this hand was used for something dirty?"

A while later, the bell rang signaling recess. After the teacher left, Shin noticed a couple of girl hurrying out of the room, mumbling something about Kendo practice. The boy simply shrugged, and turned his head to the right.

Looking out the window, Shin noticed a nice and quiet spot close to the track field. It was even better, due to the trees that grew around, providing shade in the bright sunlight. Standing up, he swiftly left the room, before his fellow students could bombard him with weird questions again.

Back on campus, he began wondering around, trying to pinpoint the spot he saw from the window.

As he did, he happened to come across something rather interesting.

"Oh man, this peeping spot is perfect!" Shin heard a whispered voice coming from behind some bushes. Raising an eyebrow, Shin looked around, as if to see whether the voice really came from the bushes.

"Oh hell yeah! You're a genius for finding this place Motohama!" another voice responded, confirming that the voices really did come from a bush.

'Voice from a bush...that sounds familiar...' Shin mumbled in his own mind, squinting his eyes a bit, as if it would help him remember.

"Ohoho~ Look at those oppai! They jiggle so much!" and then, Shin heard a voice he definitely recognized. Narrowing his eyes a bit, he peeked over the bushes, exposing the culprits.

"This is definitely going to the Spank Bank for later!" Issei mumbled, a lewd expression on his face. He and two others were currently bending over, looking through a single hole in the wooden wall of the Kendo Building.

Crossing his arms, Shin silently made his way over, crouching right behind the trio. And then, he leaned in.

"What are you guys doing?" he whispered.

"We're trying to see some tits!" the bold one whispered in return, trying to get a better look through the hole.

"We'd tell you to join but there isn't enough room" the one with the glasses remarked, pushing the bald one out the way.

"I see. Well that certainly unfortunate" Shin said normally, standing back up. And it seems like that finally woke the three out of their 'trance', as they slowly looked behind them. But as they did, they saw something a little different.

Due to the sun being right behind him, only Shin's silhouette was visible. A black form, coupled with piercing fluorescent blue eyes, staring the three down, looked nothing short of a predator about to attack it's prey.

"""KYAA!""" the three squeaked in surprise, before quickly covering each others mouths, hoping nobody heard them.

"What was that?" the four heard a girl inside the Kendo Club exclaim.

"Kya! It's those perverts again!" another one shrieked, making the trio pale.

"Shit, we've been found out!" baldy exclaimed, as he and the other one suddenly got up.

"Let's run before they catch us!" he exclaimed, as the two tried to run past Shin.

That was a mistake.

The boy simply raised both of his arms to the side, letting the two run neck-first into his forearms, effectively clothes-lining themselves, before falling to the ground in pain.

"Matsuda! Motohama!" Issei exclaimed, before looking back up at Shin, who had a pretty disappointed expression on his face. Issei squeaked a bit, before trying to back up, only to hit the wall.

"There they are!" the boys heard one of the kendo girls exclaim, making Issei gulp.

And it didn't take long until a horde of girls, half dressed in kendo uniforms showed up, surrounding the two downed boys, but letting a clear path for Shin. They seemed a little surprised at the fact that Baldy and Glasses were already out for the count, but didn't hesitate to administer punishment usind their trusty bokkens.

While the rest of the girls were busy playing stationary Whack-a-Mole with Matsuda and Motohama, Katase and her friend approached Issei, who paled a bit.

"You perverts just won't learn!" Katase growled, raising her bokken high, before going for a downward slash, ready to crack Issei's skull open. Issei closed his eyes in response, awaiting the inevitable pain. However, it never came.

"I say we just calm down for a second" Shin said calmly, having a firm grip on Katase's bokken, which was only a few inches away from Issei's skull. Issei, along with Katase and her friend, were taken completely by surprise at how fast Shin's reflexes were. However, Katase managed to snap out of it, and tried to pry her bokken out of Shin's grasp.

"Don't defend them Kurokawa-kun! They're all just filthy perverts!" she exclaimed, trying even harder to retrieve her wooden sword, to no avail.

"Okay, first off, you're better off giving up on prying your bokken out. Ain't gonna happen" Shin raised a finger, looking over at Katase. Seizing the opportunity, Katase's friend tried to deliver punishment instead. "Second off-"

*GRIP*

"That ain't going to work either" he stated, using his other hand to hold the second bokken in place. "And finally third off, I believe that everyone deserves a second chance. Even 'perverts'" he stated, making Issei look at him with teary eyes.

"Oh thanks a lot dude-guh?!" Issei started, before a foot was planted on his face, stopping him in his tracks.

"It'd best if you shut up for the moment, Hyoudou-san" Shin said, keeping his foot on Issei's face. His response, came in the form of nodding from Issei. Nodding, he looked back at Katase and her friend. "Now, can we please just talk this out?" he suggested.

"No way! Murayama tell him!" Katase declined immediately, shaking her head, trying even harder to release her bokken.

"Yeah, this is the fifth time we've caught these perverts trying to peep on us since the semester started!" Murayama exclaimed, following Katase's example in trying to pull her bokken out of Shin's hand.

"Fifth?" Shin asked incredulously, looking down at Issei with a blank expression. "Really? If I'm not mistaken, it's barely been two weeks" he said, hearing a muffled, and awkward, chuckle from Issei. Sighing, Shin suddenly opened his hands, letting go of the bokkens.

"Ah!"

"Kya!"

Also causing their owners to fall back, due to the how hard they were pulling previously. Looking back at the girls, Shin noticed two things.

The first, being that Matsuda and Motohama were now lying in a steaming heap to the side, groaning in pain. The second, was that the little commotion had managed to gather quite the crowd around.

As the girls picked themselves back up, Shin suddenly got an idea, as to how he could solve the situation.

"Alright, if you really want to make Issei pay for peeping, then how about me make a deal?" he proposed, somehow managing to get Katase and Murayama's attention.

"What do you mean?" the pinkette asked. Releasing a little breath in relief, Shin pointed behind him, where the dojo for the Kendo Club was.

"We'll settle this with a kendo match. You two versus me. If you win, you can beat Issei to your hearts content. Crack his skull open, I don't care" he said, making Issei pale completely, while Katase and her friend seemed to be listening intently. "But, if I win, then you two have to forgive this time. Sound fair?"

The girls seemed to think for a little bit, before Katase nodded.

"Alright, agreed. As much as I hate to fight a cute guy, that pervert needs to be punished!" she explained, glaring dagger at Issei, who cowered behind Shin.

"Then let's get the show on the road" the ravenette said.

And thus, everyone now stood in the Kendo Club dojo, waiting for the match to begin.

In the ring, were Katase and Murayama, standing opposite of Shin. While the two girls were wearing the appropriate attire for kendo, Shin simply took his blazer off, which he put on the ground.

He then went over to the wooden sword display, and picked up a normal katana style bokken. Doing a few practice slashes, he nodded his head in approval, before returning to his original spot, assuming his battle stance. Said battle stance consisted of Shin sliding his left foot backward a bit, and pointing the tip of his bokken forward.

"Kurokawa-kun, are you sure you don't want to wear the practice attire? We won't hold back!" Katase warned, as her and Murayama assumed their battle stances as well.

"I'll be just fine" Shin answered passively, looking at the two. "Just make this entertaining" he smirked a bit, as his expression turned serious.

"Then here we come!" Murayama exclaimed, as she rushed Shin, going for the classic downward slash.

Shin didn't even need to do much, as he simply side stepped out of the way, before attempting a sideways slash, which Murayama dodged. As Murayama retreated, Katase stepped forward.

Firstly, she quickly closed the gap between her and Shin, and attempted an upward slash once she reached Shin.

'She's fast…!' Shin exclaimed in his mind, managing to duck under the strike just in time. He then tried to swipe Katase's feet, but she jumped back just in time.

Returning to her friend, Katase and Murayama exchanged looks, as if communicating telepathically. The then nodded, and rushed Shin together, with Katase leading, and Murayama close behind. Seeing this, Shin narrowed his eyes, his expression turning serious for a second.

The two reached Shin quickly, as Katase went forward with a straight stab for Shin's torso, in an attempt to make him dodge to the side. As expected, he slid to the right, in order to avoid to Katase's stab.

"I've got you!" However, Murayama suddenly sprang forward, going for a downward slash aimed at Shin's collarbone. Opening his eyes wide in surprise, Shin barely managed to raise his bokken up, and parry her attack, redirecting it downward.

However, as he did, he also turned his back to Katase, who saw a golden opportunity, and struck high, aiming for the back of Shin's head.

His instincts immediately kicked in, and without looking, he dodged under Katase's slash, taking her by surprise. He then used the momentum he'd built, to lift Murayama's bokken up with his own, making her wooden sword clash against Katase's.

Using the spin, he crouched down low, and swiped Katase's feet from under her making her bokken fly out of her hand. He then spun in place, grabbed the pinkette's bokken, and with a circular motion placed the tip right in front of her neck, reversing his own bokken in his hand, and sliding it in front of Murayama's neck, causing her to stop dead in her tracks.

With Katase at his feet, and Murayama behind him, both having bokkens at their necks, Shin had ended the match, in a matter of seconds.

"You're both dead" Shin stated, taking the bokkens away from the girls necks.

It was silent for a second, before the little crown that had gathered in the dojo began cheering, at the awesome finish. Of course, the Kendo girls weren't all that pleased, because now Issei got to walk away scot-free.

"Dammit…!" Katase mumbled, before a hand extended in front of her, courtesy of Shin. Taking it, he helped her back on her feet, where she took off her protective mask. "As much as I hate to admit, you won..." she mumbled, before spotting Issei in the crowd, giving him the dirtiest of glares, meaning something along the lines of 'don't think you'll be so lucky next time!'.

Issei seemingly got the message, as he gulped. Satisfied, Katase turned back to Shin, who placed his bokken back on the display. He then turned, and grabbed his blazer, putting it back on.

But as he did, he noticed a very obvious patch of red hair among the crowd. Looking closer, he noticed Rias looking at him with a very interested look on her face, Akeno standing right next to her with pretty much the same expression, only her was accompanied by a little blush.

He also noticed a young man he hasn't seen before, with short blonde hair and gray eyes, standing next to the two. And like the girls, he seemed a little intrigued as well, though he managed to hide it well behind his smile.

"That was a good match you two" Shin said, stepping off the ring. He then turned to them with a smile "We should do this again sometime~"

The girls nodded their heads, obvious blushes on their faces. It was then that the bell rang once again, signaling the end of recess, making most of the students present hurry back to class. Shin was among those students, and he just so happened to grab Issei and pull him along, so they wouldn't be late.

After everyone left, Rias, Akeno and the young man were left alone in the dojo.

"What do you think Yuuto?" Rias asked, turning to look at her male companion.

"The skill is certainly there" Yuuto answered, a contemplating expression on his face. "I can't tell exactly how skilled he is, but he could definitely hold his own President." turning to Rias, she placed a finger on her lips, seemingly thinking hard on something.

"Ara, are you thinking of recruiting him too Buchou?" Akeno asked, placing a hand on her cheek.

"There's something about him..." Rias mumbled "It's like with Hyoudou-kun. I'm not quite sure what it is yet, but there's definitely something. And if Serafall has her eye on him as well, then it's definitely something strong" she sighed a little, before shaking her head. "For now, we'll keep observing Hyoudou-kun like" she then turned to Akeno "However, I want you to keep an eye on Kurokawa-kun as well. With some luck, I may have a chance to reincarnate him before Serafall"

"He's not a toy, Rias" Akeno said seriously. "You can't just turn someone without their consent" she said, making Rias hang her head a bit.

"You're right..." she sighed a bit, before looking back at Akeno. "But I'd still like for you to keep an eye out for him. Make sure he's safe until Serafall decides to ask him"

"I can definitely do that~" Akeno replied, resuming her usual demeanor.

"What about Hyoudou-kun Buchou?" Yuuto inquired, raising an eyebrow. Rias hummed in thought for a moment, before responding.

"I think Koneko should be able to keep track of him for now" she then turned to the blonde "Unless you're interested in doing it instead~?"

"I have no problem with it" Yuuto responded, having his signature smile.

"Then we'll see whose available tonight, and discuss it then. For now, let's head back to class." and with that, the three turned and left the dojo as well.

A while later, the bell rang again, signaling the end of classes for the day.

Most students didn't go home, but left for their club activities instead. However, this was Shin's first day at the academy, so he had no club to attend to.

And so, he found himself walking along campus, heading for the front gates. As he walked however, he heard someone running behind him. Curiously, he glanced back, seeing none other than Issei jogging toward him.

Reaching Shin, Issei took a moment to catch his breath, before straightening back up.

"Hey. I wanted to thank you for saving my butt today. The kendo girls would've probably beaten me to a pulp if it weren't for you~" he said, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.

Shin looked at him for a moment, before letting a small smile appear on his lips.

"There's nothing to thank me for. But do know that I won't save you next time" he stated, looking at Issei with his eyebrow raised.

"Then I'll have to be more careful from now on~" he chuckled, making Shin's eyebrow raise higher.

"You mean you'll stop altogether right?" he asked amused

"Oh come on! I have teenage hormones! I can't help but want to have a look at those oppai!" he exclaimed, as the two began walking toward the gates. "Haven't you ever tried to peep? Not once?"

"No, not really" Shin answered immediately, making Issei look at him dumbfounded.

"Are you gay?" he blurted out, making Shin sputter, before laughing out loud. "Hey, what are you laughing at!"

"Ahahaha~" Shin laughed, holding his belly. He did manage to calm himself however, before answering. "I can assure you, Hyoudou-san. I am attracted to the opposite sex just as much as you. I just learned to hide it~" he said, still giggling a bit.

"Well, good for you, I guess..." Issei mumbled, as the two passed through the gates. He then turned to head right, while Shin turned left. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow?" he asked.

"I guess you will" Shin nodded his head, before turning around, and beginning to walk away.

Issei watched him for a little while longer, before following the example, and heading home.

As he was walking along the orange lit streets, Shin came across a little bridge, crossing over a small pond. Shrugging a bit, he leaned over the railings, peering down into the clear water below, enjoying the quiet around him.

"Kuoh is certainly an interesting school, isn't it?" he asked, not looking up from his reflection.

"It's not always this crazy~" came the sweet voice of Akeno, as her reflection appeared beside Shin's "You'll get used to it in time~" she smiled, making a smile appear on Shin's reflection as well.

"I'd better~" Shin chuckled, glancing at the real Akeno beside him "I may not look like it, but I only have so much patience. If every day gets crazy like today, I might just explode~"

"Ufufu, I wouldn't want to be around that~" Akeno giggled, as Shin stepped away from the railings.

"You're right about that" Shin noted, slinging his bag over his shoulder. "You're going home too?" he asked, as the two began walking side by side.

"Well, I normally have club activities right now, but our president was kind enough to give me the day off~" she sang, as Shin raised an eyebrow.

"So you're in a club too? What club is that?" he asked, looking at the ravenette beside him.

"It's called the Occult Research Club, or ORC for short~" she said, her smile ever present.

"Occult huh?" Shin mumbled. "So you guys research into that whole demonic stuff, right?" he guessed, as Akeno shook her head from side to side for a bit.

"Among other things~" she answered, before looking at him curiously. "Are you thinking of joining~?"

"Nah" he answered almost immediately. "I've had about enough of that already" he sighed, making Akeno raise an eyebrow.

"What happened?" she inquired, as Shin looked up in the sky.

"My mother had pretty close ties with people in the church" he said, immediately making Akeno's heart skip a beat. And not in the good way. "She would always take me around the Vatican, to visit the Vatican Church. And everytime I did, I kept hearing about devils, fallen angels, holy swords..." he enumerated, as Akeno started feeling a cold shiver running down her spine. "But I never believed in all of that crap~" he added, making Akeno unconsciously breathe in relief. "All a bunch of useless junk a five year old has nothing to do with. Though there were some interesting people I met while visiting the church" he remarked offhandedly.

"For example?" Akeno asked, managing to keep her composure, as the shiver on her spine began to recede.

"Can't really remember their names right now, but every time my mother took me there, those people would be there waiting. I remember one of them actually helped me escape one of the lectures, because of how boring the priest was~" he chuckled a bit, a small smile on his face.

Seeing the smile, Akeno could help as her own reformed on her face, her sense of dread receding completely.

"I guess they were really understanding~" she remarked, as Shin laughed softly.

"A whole lot more understanding than you'd think..." he mumbled, before the two fell back into silence. Fortunately, Shin was the one to break it pretty fast. "Say, who was that woman from before? Sera-tan, I think she called herself?" he asked, as a sweatdrop formed on Akeno's face.

"W-Well, she's actually the Student Council President's older sister~" she giggled awkwardly. "She can be a little...eccentric~"

"Well, I've seen weirder. Quite frankly, a little bit of crazy is necessary in everyone's lives~" he remarked.

Soon enough, the two began walking up a little hill, before Shin stopped in front of relatively small house.

"Is this where you live?" she asked, tilting her head to the side. Shin nodded his head, as he unlocked the gate. "But, isn't it a little small?"

"Well, I'm the only resident, so I don't see why I should be any bigger" Shin remarked, looking back at Akeno. Hearing his response, the girl raised an eyebrow.

"But what about your parents? Don't they live here too?" she asked, regretting it instantly as Shin's face fell slightly.

"'Fraid they're gone...have been for quite a while now." Shin turned around, and walked through the gate, looking back at Akeno with a little smile. "But the past is in the past. Keep looking forward, is what they would always say~" he chuckled, before sighing a bit. "Thanks for walking with me Himejima-san. I really enjoyed it" he smiled, causing a little, but honest smile to form on Akeno's lips as well.

"As I said, if you ever need anything, I'm more than willing to help~" he asnwered, as Shin nodded his head. "Also, please call me Akeno~"

"Then Akeno-san it is~" he smiled, turning back. However, he stopped once again. "If we're already going by first names, then please feel free to call me Shin" he said, glancing back at the raven haired beauty.

Said girl nodded her head, her smile still present.

"See you tomorrow" Shin called, before turning around, and entering his house.

Akeno remained in front of the gate for a minute longer, before going on her way as well.

As she was walking, she couldn't help but go back to her conversation with Shin.

'He grew up around the church...The Vatican Church no less...' she thought, a slightly worried expression on her face. 'He said it was all in the past...but I can't know for sure...' and then, her worried expression turned into a little mischievous one. 'Looks like I'll have to get a little closer to Shin-kun...Ufufu~'

She then went down a lone alley. Making sure no one else was present, she closed her eyes, before an intricate symbol appeared under her feet, enveloping her in a crimson light, before she disappeared.

"What a day..." Shin sighed, plopping down on the couch inside his living room. Looking toward the ceiling, he released a breath. "Well, it could've certainly been worse.."

He then stood up, and went in the kitchen, which was actually the same room as the living room, a little wall being the only thing separating them. He then went over to one of the cupboards, and grabbed a cup of instant noodles, placing it on the counter.

He then quickly boiled some water, and poured it inside the cup, pacing a little timer right next to it, which was set at 3 minutes.

Going back into the kitchen, he sat back down on the sofa, and turned on the TV.

"Kuoh Academy...Not the worst place to take a little break in. It's certainly quiet...I wonder if she would like it here…?" he wondered, before he heard a short ding in the kitchen.

Going over, he opened the cup again, grabbed a pair of chopsticks and went over to the TV again. Plopping on the couch, he began slurping his dinner, while watching cartoons. It wasn't what a person as old as Shin would be watching, but the boy found it to be oddly satisfying and relaxing.

Some time passed, before Shin finally finished his noodles. Standing up, he threw the cup and chopsticks into the trash, before returning to the living room.

*RIIIINNGG*

"Huh?" Shin was surprised to hear his landline phone ringing in the hallway. Quickly going over, he looked at the number, raising an eyebrow as he did. He shook his head a bit, before grabbing the phone and placing it at his ear.

"Yello~?" he greeted in a goofy voice, almost immediately hearing a child's giggling on the other side.

"It's me Nii-chan! Did you miss me?" he heard a little girl speak in a cheerful voice. He didn't even need to see her, to know she had one of the biggest smiles on her face. And that, made a little smile appear on Shin's face as well.

"Well, considering I saw you just last week..." he began, building up anticipation, feeling the person on the other end practically leaning in. "No." he deadpanned, immediately hearing someone facefault on the other side, making him giggle a bit.

"Mouu, you're mean Nii-chan!" the little girl exclaimed, making Shin giggle even more. "It's not funny!" she shrieked, making Shin burst out laughing. If one listened close, they would hear a mature woman giggling on the other side of the phone as well.

"Oh you're right there~" he started, managing to bring the laughing down to a chuckle "It's not funny...It's hilarious~" he laughed once more, practically feeling the little girl's glare all the way from the other side.

"...Baka" she mumbled, as Shin calmed down again.

"Oh, don't be like that~ You know I can practically see you putting right? Remember that you look like a chipmunk when you do that, and it'll only make me laugh even more" he giggled, before it turned to a chuckle. "Ehehe...Ahh...A chipmunk~ That sound fitting though, right? Chibiko the Chipmunk! Fits like a glove-ahaha~" he laughed again.

"Now, now Shin, you know you can't tease her like that" a mature woman spoke on the phone, making Shin stop laughing, almost immediately. "...She'll really turn into a chipmunk if you do, you know~?" she giggled, making Shin bust out laughing again.

"Mouu! You're both so mean! Meanies!" Shin heard the little girl exclaim from a little further away, before a door was opened and slammed shut.

"I think I overdid it a bit~" he chuckled, managing to stop laughing entirely. The woman on the phone hummed a bit, before answering.

"You know how she gets. It'll be gone by tomorrow~" the woman assured in a laid back tone, as if she was already used to this. "So, Shin. How is Kuoh? I trust the house had everything you need?" she asked, receiving a positive hum from Shin.

"It has everything a teenager should have. Well, minus the friends, but I am working on it!" he explained, nodding his head strongly. The woman chuckled a bit at the answer.

"Well, that's certainly good to hear. But how about your bedroom? Isn't it a little...lonely~?" she asked in a teasing tone, making Shin shake his head, a grin on his face.

"Yes, yes, the beds really lonely and cold, and why don't you come over to help warm it up. I already know the routine, mind you. You're going to have to get a little more creative~" he answered, a smug grin a his face.

"Creative, eh? I'll have to think about it…" the woman replied, as if thinking already. "But all jokes aside. Have any of the...special residents at Kuoh tried anything yet?" she asked, as Shin's expression turned neutral, a poker face plastered on it.

"Nothing yet, but I assume their thinking about it. I don't know how they're going to proceed, so I'll just have to wait and see. It's interesting though. Serafall already gave me her flyer~" he chuckled.

"Already? Why, that's certainly quite fast" the woman mumbled "You think she wants to recruit you?"

"Oh, she wants to recruit me alright. She even said it herself" he chuckled, remembering Sera's entrance in the Student Council "But to be honest, maybe becoming part of her peerage wouldn't be so bad..." he mumbled.

"You want to let her make you her servant?" the woman asked dumbfounded.

"No no no" Shin denied it immediately, shaking his head as well. "That would just be degrading. But...maybe acting the part could be interesting~"

"Shin, what are you thinking of now?" the woman sighed, knowing Shin came up with something crazy.

"You'll find out soon~" he chuckled, not really helping the woman's worries.

"...please don't get yourself killed" the woman deadpanned over the phone, making Shin sputter.

"Ha! As if these guys could kill me" Shin laughed "All jokes aside now. They won't do anything. Not when dealing with me they won't. You know just how persuasive I can be~"

"*sigh*I trust you Shin. But if anything does happen, then let me know alright?" the woman asked, concern evident in her voice. Shin rolled his eyes a bit, before answering.

"I will, don't worry" he said calmly "I'll drop by again next week. I'll tell you how things progressed then. Sound good?"

"That would be most ideal~" the woman replied happily. "Just be ready. You know 'Chibiko' will be waiting for you as well~"

"Alright, so basically. Bring a coat for water balloons, don't use the hairdryers, watch your step around the stairs, don't sit on chairs placed in a suspiciously convenient place, don't eat the Oreo's, don't eat the caramel candy either, always check under a chair for any airhorns, and always make sure to crab walk on a lower level whenever you walk through a door frame. Got it" Shin said, leaving the woman speechless for a moment.

"...What has she done to you while I was away?" she asked, amazement and confusion clear in her voice.

"Oh no, she didn't actually do any of that. But kids can get really creative, for all the wrong things, so I just take precautions~" he replied cheerfully.

"Okay then...I'll have to remember to check the house before you arrive then" she mumbled, before speaking normally again. "Well then, I guess we'll talk again next week. Don't forget to call if anything happens!"

"Yes, mooom..." Shin sighed, shaking his head a bit.

"Well, someone has to do it right?" the woman replied immediately. Shin opened his mouth to retort, but nothing came out. "Thought so. Anyway, have a good night Shin. And best of luck tomorrow. Sweet dreams~"

"Thanks. Sweet dreams to both of you, as well~" he said, before placing the phone back down, ending the call.

Looking at the clock, he noticed it was already 9 PM, so he hurried upstairs to take a final shower, before calling it a day.

And that's a wrap~

First of, hello to everyone that's new here~

Welcome, to my first DxD Fanfic! I've had these ideas for a while, but I couldn't really get around to making it.

Until now~

A little disclaimer-thing, right off the bat.

Some characters may be OOC at the beginning. That's because it's actually been a while since I've read or watched Highschool DxD. So, until I get back into the swing of things, characters may act a little different than usual.

But please, feel free to point out the real way they're supposed to behave. It helps, it really does~

What else is there? Oh yeah.

The OC is going to be OP. But, he won't be OP right off the bat. He will be pretty damn strong though. So yeah, just putting that out there. Most ideas I have for this story, contain an OP OC. So until I get those out, there are few chances of a normal OC...sorry.

But even so, I will try to make this story enjoyable! And if I start failing, please feel free to suggest how to improve it~

Now, for the final bit.

This is DxD. There's going to be a harem. There's no way around it. So with that said.

Please suggest what girls you would like Shin and Issei to be paired with. Leave it in the reviews, PM me, whichever you please. However, some girls are already in there. Example:

Shin's Harem: Serafall, Kuroka, Gabriel, WIP.

Issei's Harem: Rias, Asia, WIP.

Of course, as long as the WIP is there, the harems can change. As long as there's enough votes for it AND a good explanation. It doesn't have to be perfect, but an acceptable explanation is enough~

So yeah. I think that was it for now~ Tell me what you thought of the chapter in the reviews, don't forget to suggest and until next chapter~

Bye~

P.S. excuse minor grammatical errors, please~ I'll try my best to correct them in the future.
