'Bryce-nii come on, wake up, wake up!" The said boy muffled a groan as he tried to swat away the hand that was tapping his cheek.

"Alright you asked for it!" The girl said before suddenly jumping onto his bed and pressed something against his face. "Oppai Attack!" she shouted as the boy underneath struggled to get up before suddenly having enough and shoved her off him.

"Really, Izumi." He said in a blank tone as he sat up. "It's kind of annoying when you do that." He quickly turned his head away as he got a good look at his roommate.

Izumi Hyoudou, was a young adult woman that had puberty hit her very early. Her chest was well-endowed and had a curvaceous body that men would die for.

Now you would think that this would get a boy like Bryce to react the same way normal boys would when seeing a hot girl or have one with them in bed…. It does not.

Getting up from the floor, Izumi wrapped her arms around Bryce's neck and pressed her breasts into his back. Her nipples easily mushed. "Aw, my little boy teased about waking up with a nosebleed~" She slyly teased him earning a blank look from him.

"You do this to me every morning and no, I'm trying to respect your space." Bryce said in an emotionless tone earning a frown from the brunette. He used to be a shy and quiet child but ever since that happened, he became an emotionless tool. Many things happened to them over the years but that would be explained later.

Aside from all that, she hated the fact that her best friend rarely show emotions. He was like a drone, a drone without its leader to follow a command.

Izumi was brought out of her thoughts when Bryce tapped her on the shoulder.

"Can we go to school already?" He asked her. "I rather not be late on the first day."

"Of course, but first." She jumped off the bed and grab his hand. "Come and take a bath with me."

"Fine." He complied with no objections, he found no problem since they bathe together almost all time but if he was a normal person, there would've been a different reaction to this.

Bryce had a blank face as he and Izumi both made their way to school. Izumi was wearing the female uniform but with her coat around her waist, leaving her in the button-down collared shirt and Bryce was wearing his outfit with no coat.

As soon as they got to school, they were met with stares from those around them. Both genders whispering about them not so silently, causing Izumi to sigh in annoyance while Bryce didn't care.

These people were annoying as far as Izumi could tell. Not even five minutes into the school and they are already the main topic in gossip.

*Sigh* this is gonna be a pain in the ass." Izumi said as Bryce turned his gaze to her. "We haven't even been here for a full minute and people are already watching us."

"Don't forget, this place was an all-girl school before it came coed." He reminded her as he pointed to the boys with perverted gazes. "And teenagers love gossip, whether they start it or hear something that may be a false accusation, to them it's what they use to entertain themselves when there is nothing better to do. So, it's natural for them."

Izumi gave him a deadpanned look. "That's not natural at all. If anything, that's just your own opinion for what's happening."

"You have a better one?" He challenged her as she opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out, so she just settled to cross her arms under her bust and gave him a slight pout.

"Okay then." He said as they continued walking to the entrance. Izumi was starting to get irritated with all the lustful stares she was getting from the boys, she turned to her companion and had an idea.

She quickly grabbed wrapped her arms around his left arm and pulled it to her in between her globes, leaning her head on his shoulder.

"What are you doing?"

"Making sure they know I'm taken." She replied.

"We're not dating."

"But we could pretend." She said with a sly grin before giving him the puppy eyes. "Please~~"

Bryce only stared at her for a few seconds before silently nodding and whispered.

"Fine."

"Works every time." Izumi cheered as they both headed inside the school and to the front office.

Izumi and Bryce were in front of the class as the teacher introduced them.

"Everyone, these are your two new classmates Izumi Hyoudou and Bryce Hayate. Please make them feel welcome.

"Hello, everyone. I am Izumi Hyoudou, it's nice to meet you all I hope we all can get along and become great friends." The brunette introduced herself earning a few greetings from other students. "Now it's your turn Bryce."

"I'm Bryce Hayate. Nice to meet you." He deadpanned as everyone sweat dropped at his short intro.

'So blank.'

"Well…*cough*… now that is out of the way… Izumi, Bryce would please take the two seats near the back window?" She asked them as they nodded their heads.

After settling in their new seats, both teens went on with class learning about history. Once class was over Izumi and Bryce were approached by two different groups.

"Izumi." The brunette looked up and met two pairs of eyes. The kendo girls, Murayama and Katase. "I'm Murayama and this is my friend Katase. It's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you two."

"So, we were wondering if you would like to hang out with us after school today?" Katase asked as the brunette gave them a nervous smile.

"Um sure, is it okay if Bryce comes along too?"

"Sure. Don't want you to be too far from your boyfriend." Katase teased as Izumi glared at her.

"He's my best friend and that's all there is to it." She answered and then turned to Murayama who was frowning. "What's wrong?"

"Bryce is talking with the Pervert Duo."

"Those two idiots." Katase before turning her head and glared at the two other boys. "We should stop them before they corrupt your friend."

"Corrupt him?" Izumi asked in a confused tone while tilting her head.

"Those two idiots take peeking to a whole another level. Just keep your distance from them, and if they get near you and say anything sexual related to your body, just go ahead and pound them to the ground." Katase replied as Izumi nodded.

"We really should stop them." Murayama said as she intended to walk over to the desk only to be stop by Izumi. "Hmm?"

"Don't worry about it."

"But…"

"You'll see."

Bryce staring blankly at the two perverts that were trying to get him into peeping.

"Hey new kid."

"What?" Bryce replied as he turned to them.

"Wanna come with me and Motohama here, go to our secret spot?"' The bald one asked as Bryce blinked his eyes.

"Secret spot?" he asked in a confused tone. The glasses one leaned over and whispered.

"Me and Matsuda are going to our secret spot to peek on the kendo girls during lunch time." He said with a hand cupped over his mouth.

"So you want to join us?" They both shouted in an excited tone. Bryce just remained staring at them with his blank face before standing up from his seat. Walking in front of them, he placed their hands on both of their shoulders before giving them his answer.

"No." He said blankly before adding pressure to their shoulders.

"H-Hey, What are you…"

"What are you doing…" Both were panicking as Bryce was adding pressure to their shoulders, causing them to slowly fall to their knees. When they looked back at Bryce they both froze in fear as they saw his eyes, not only did they look liked death itself but it was so empty and hollow.

"I don't care for your curricular activities such as this nor do I want to be a part of them, however I find it rude that you are peeping on women. I don't know how long you've been doing it, but this stops now."

"As if you could stop us, from achieving our dream!" Motohama shouted as Matsuda agreed.

"Yeah, nothing will ever stop us from peeking on the beautiful girls of Kuoh Academy, this is where we can—" He stopped when he felt Bryce grip his shoulder tighter.

"I don't care." He said coldly. "Either lessen your activities or stop them completely. You should respect women not treat them as your walking sex toys… Now I'll only say this once…" He paused before leaning his head in and glared at them with a cold gaze. "…If you ever peek on my best friend Izumi, I will cut off your manhood and shove them down your throat and ass, understood?" he whispered harshly.

The pervert duo instantly paled at the thought of having their little juniors being cut off and then having to swallow them. They both looked like they were going to be sick, as sweat dripped from their forehead.

"Are we clear?" he asked, and they nodded their heads but that wasn't good enough for him. "ARE WE CLEAR?"

"YES SIR!"

"Get going." He said and the perverted duo scrambled out of the classroom like there was no tomorrow. Bryce went back to his notebook. The girls were staring at him with shock and awe while Izumi laughed softly.

"That's why I'm not worried. Bryce hates perverts and hates it when women are not treated equally… back in middle school, he would always protect me from bullies and others when the teachers wouldn't." Izumi said.

"Wow." Katase spoke as Murayama nodded her head.

"Well, thank you for the invite girls but maybe some other time… I'll see if we can hang out next week, I would like to get use to my surroundings before doing anything else." Izumi said as she stood up from her seat.

"Of course." Murayama replied as she shook her head with a smile. "If you ever need help, we'll be happy to oblige."

"Thank you both very much." Izumi said as she bowed her head and walked over to Bryce tapping him on the shoulder a few times before signaling him to follow her out of the classroom.

After leaving the classroom, both teens were underneath a tree near a bridge to the main building. Bryce was staring at his food in deep thought until the brunette snapped him out of it by placing aa fresh plate of gyoza in front of him.

"Here." Izumi offered as he stared at her with a blank expression. "It's your favorite, I made it for you because I know you won't eat the school lunch."

"You made this for me…?" He asked her.

"Well, it's my turn for dinner tonight. Plus, you skipped dinner again last night." She said in a soft tone.

Bryce just nodded his head and took his plate before eating his food. After eating his gyoza, he sat the plate down and proceeded to lie down.

"So…" he heard Izumi speak as she laid down next to him and laid her head back as they stared at the clouds. "… what do you think?"

"Of the school?" He asked as she said mumbled yes. "It's not bad… aside from the pervert duo and gossip, it's not really a bad place."

"I think it's pretty neat… we found ourselves a nice place for entertainment if were ever bored."

"You mean if you are ever bored." He deadpanned as she smiled at hin.

"Yep! She said in a cheerful tone. Izumi then decided to sit up and laid her head on his chest.

"Comfy?"

"Yep. Oh that reminds me, sooner or later we are gonna get notice by the devils."

"Whose here?"

"The little sister of Lucifer and the little sister of Leviathan." Izumi answered before pouting. "Just our luck."

"Why are the siblings of the two Maou here?" Bryce asked.

"Beats me, but we'll cross that bridge another day. Right now I just want to relax until next class." Izumi then turned her head towards him with a smile on her face. "Cuddle me."

"No." He replied earning a pout in return.

"Aw, spoilsport." She whined as she pinched his cheek and then laid her head back on his chest. Bryce just let her since he didn't really care, she seemed to like it, so it didn't bother him.

As they both rested near the tree, someone was watching them from afar. Someone with bright crimson red hair and blue-green eyes.

"Izumi Hyoudou. Bryce Hayate." She said as the bell ranged and they both left for class, her gaze never leaving them.

After school, Bryce was currently walking home by himself in deep thought. He was thinking back to the orphanage, where he met someone before it got destroyed. Izumi wasn't the only person he got along with, there was one more person that became his friend before she was taken away.

It's been so long since he's last seen her….almost 8 years.

He went behind his back and pulled something out of his pocket and stared at it. It was a tattered photo of him and a few other kids along with the caretakers at the orphanage before it was destroyed. He was in the middle of the photo, but that part of the image was gone. So, he had the image of a girl with blue hair and a green fringe with a small smile on her face with her arms were wrapped around something, he knew that it was him she was holding. He still remembers that photo to this day, where he wanted to stay out away from the image, but she was stubborn and dragged over to the middle before clutching him like he was a teddy bear and someone took the shot. This was only half of the photo that he was able to recover before it was destroyed.

"Xenovia, it's been almost a decade huh." He said as he remembered the times when he was a child before meeting Izumi. Xenovia was the first person around his age to interact with him when everyone else didn't. As blunt as she was sometimes, she did what she could to make sure he was smiling like it was her goal to see him happy.

Too bad those times were over.

"She probably hates me now anyway. Even if I was framed, it wouldn't matter. I failed her and I failed to keep our promise. So, she has every right to blame me for that day." He said with blank eyes but his tone was solemn.

He wished he could go back in time and stopped the massacre from happening, but you can't. You can't change the past and you can't fix something that's been broken by society and its harsh truths. A cruel and dangerous world.

It sucks but that's just the way it is.

"Hey." Someone had patted him on the shoulder. Bringing himself back into the real world, he turned over and saw Izumi with a smile on her face. "What cha got there?"

"Nothing." He said as he put the photo back into his pocket. "Nothing important."

"Oh well that sucks." Izumi pouted before her expression changed into an excited one. "Anyway, I got some great news."

"What?"

"I have a date this Sunday."

"How is that good news?" He asked her.

"My date is a fallen angel." She answered with a sly grin.

"Oh." He said as he realized why she was now happy. "So, is it a he or a she and are you gonna eat them?"

"A she and yes, of course I'm going to eat them. It's been awhile since I had fallen angel for dinner." Izumi said as she licked her lips in anticipation.

"Just don't come back home drenched in blood again." He said in what sounded like an annoyed tone. "I'm not completing up your mess." He then started walking faster.

"Oh come on, it was only one time okay. One!" She whined as she ran to catch up with him.

This is the story of how two teenagers, broken by society became heroes throughout the supernatural society and human societies.

This is the story of the Puppeteer and the Dragon Empress.
