All right hello readers! This is my first fanfiction let alone my first story I've ever written! Criticism is welcomed if its real and not just "I don't like it" if your gonna criticize tell me what I'm doing wrong and where I can fix things! Ok now to a few warnings for my story

Issei is still the main character! Just changed in some, Like no Ddraig.

There May be Lemons. (Maybe) if I have the guts to do one and I think I need one I will, And if I do, do one I will put warnings on the chapter and mark where the start and end is.

The Characters from High school DxD may have slight personality changes (Slight).

Grayfia will not be Sirzechs wife I don't like cheating and that crap.

Don't know how big the Harem will be as in I don't know if I can control it If it gets too big. Don't get me wrong I love the story when there's a huge harem but I'm only gonna do what I can control.

The only ones I know for sure are gonna be in the Harem are Grayfia and Rias don't worry I'm going to add more! there most likely won't be a main girl, But if there is, it will be Grayfia or Rias.

Also if you're here expecting a main stream Highschool DxD fanfic that goes along with the Anime/Manga I suggest you leave… there will be parts from the series like the Riser part and the characters but that's mainly all.

The only OCs in this story will be Sköll and a few others only major role will be Sköll

Once again this is my first story so try to be lenient with the criticism but will accept all criticism now I know only half of you read this part but without further ado here is chapter 1!

Chapter 1: The Awakening

"Mom, Dad Hurry the lakes right over here!" Issei is currently 7 years old and with his family on their annual camping trip deep in Kuoh forest. "Ok honey hold on I can't keep up with you anymore like I used to" says Issei's mother. When they got there they were in awe of the serene sight of the lake. Little did they know they were being watched as they set up camp.

(Later that night)

Issei's father thought it would be a good idea to go for a midnight hike and go stargazing. As they were walking they heard rustling in the bushes. "Hey Mom, Dad did you hear that?" says Issei. "Hear what Issei?" asks Issei's father. "Shhh listen… oh I guess it was nothing" Issei says. So they kept hiking to their destination.

(30 Minutes later when they arrive at the clearing they were hiking to)

"Alright it should be just up ahead Issei! Why don't you go up ahead and find us a good spot to watch the stars from?" Issei's father says while trying to catch his breath. "Alright but don't take too long otherwise I'll get bored!" Issei Yells. As Issei is running he notices a strange smell but ignores it as he wanted to get to the clearing. As he gets there he doesn't look around he just stands there in awe of the sight of the stars and moon. After a minute he noticed the smell but much stronger now and heard somebody talking to him. "Hey boy what are you doing here shouldn't you be with your parents?' says the woman. Issei stops and looks around to see dozens of mutilated bodies on the ground. He starts to back away when he saw it, the Women or whatever you call that monster. The top half was a Beautiful Woman but the bottom half was that of a spider.

"Ahhhhh!" Issei screams as he starts to run away. "Oh well guess you saw my food" The woman says a little disappointed.

"What is it Issei!?" his parents yell in unison. "Run Its, It's a Monster!" Issei exclaims looking back at the woman.

His parents saw the woman and bodies and immediately grabbed Issei and started running. As they noticed they couldn't outrun the woman they stopped and turned around with Issei behind them both. "wha What do you want!?" his father asks worriedly. "Me? Oh I just want you and your family to add to my meal for the day fresh meat sounds pretty good right now." The women sadistically exclaims to the worried family.

"Please leave my Son and Wife out of this I'll let you take me just let them go" Issei's father begged.

"Hmm that's a good deal as it's the easy way, but I don't think so, It tastes better when my prey try's to escape. And then that face Oh that face when you catch them and they know nothing they do can help them and they know Its futile. It's just Orgasmic seeing that face."

"What If you take my husband and me? And just let my son go!?" his mother says begging so her child could survive.

"Uh fine" the woman says and Issei's parents looked a little more relieved. "Not!" the women exclaims evilly. Utter fear appeared on Issei's parents faces. As a last resort his father takes his gun out that he keeps for protection against wild animals and shoots the woman right between the eyes which would normally kill a normal human. The woman's head slung backward as if she was dead but no she brought her head back and said "Aww now you just had to do that, now I'll make your deaths very long and painful now."

Issei heard his dad yell to his mom. "Run! take Issei and run!" as his mother and Issei were running they heard gunshots and his father screaming in agony.

Issei was about to look back when he heard his mother tell him "Issei I want you to know your father and I love you very, very much, now I want you to run as fast as you can back to the city and don't look back just run and run until you get to safety you hear me?" as his mother said this Issei started to cry. "But why? Why can't we go together? I don't wanna be alone!" Issei barely says while crying profusely. "oh what a beautiful sight of a mother and father throwing away their lives for their child! Too bad your son is going to die too! It's been awhile since I've eaten a child they taste divine in my opinion!" The woman says to the mother and child. "No! please, please let my child go I'll do anything you ask! What do you want? I'll get it for you!" his mother exclaims in tears. "oh I guess there is something I want that you can get for me." The woman says. His mother's face lights up and asks "Ok thank you, thank you so much! What do you want? I'll get it right now." It was silent for a minute while it seemed like hours. As the woman says this Issei's mother's face paled in fear for her child "Your Son!" the woman yells. Issei's mother looked back and yelled "Run!"

Issei couldn't move as he was frozen in fear until he saw his mother decapitated by the women. As the blood splattered onto Issei he remembered what his mother's dying wish was. "Run! Run as fast as you can! Run till your safe!" so he ran he ran faster than he ever ran but in the end it was futile. He was launched through the air by the woman, he got up as he coughed up blood but started to run until his legs were broken one at a time as he screamed in agony the woman kicked him through the air again breaking a few ribs this time. "Why? Why are you doing this?" Issei barely says while coughing up more blood. "because I'm hungry and It's been awhile since I've killed a family! But I must say it was very fun you probably broke the record for taking the longest to kill!" the women maniacally exclaims. As Issei realized he wouldn't survive he said "forgive me mom! I couldn't survive I'll be seeing you and Dad again soon!" he says while still crying and coughing up blood.

The woman now says "well that was fun but all fun has to end eventually." The woman says as she stabs Issei through the chest. Issei coughs up more blood and is about to black out until he hears somebody else speak "Stray Devil Viser! Let yourself be captured or suffer the consequences!" the new woman says. Issei looks around to see who was talking when he saw a breathtaking woman with silver hair surrounded by soldiers. Then he heard Viser speak again "Tsk. I guess I won't be able to taste the boy. What a pity but it looks like I'm outnumbered so I'll take my leave now." Viser says as she runs away.

"After her!" the silver haired woman yells to the soldiers. She was about to follow in the pursuit of Viser until she heard a cough when she turned around she saw Issei fatally wounded with a hole in his chest and broken legs. She walked towards him her facial expression expressing deep sadness. "Who are you?" Issei asks while coughing up more blood. "Grayfia Lucifuge" the now named Grayfia tells Issei. As she looks at Issei more she starts to tear up. "I'm so sorry I didn't make it in time…" she says tearing up. "Don't cry It isn't your fault Grayfia chan. Please don't *cough cough* cry I've seen enough people crying today. And If you cry It's going to make me want to cry even more!" Issei says coughing up more blood. "Can I call you Fia, Grayfia chan?" Issei asks. "Yes I would be delighted if you called me that." Grayfia exclaims in tears.

"Hey Fia, can I make a final request if It's not too much?" Issei asks Grayfia.

"Sure what is it?" Grayfia asks Issei.

"Can you stay and watch the stars with me until I go? I was going to watch them with my parents until that lady showed up." Issei tells her while coughing up more blood and starting to cry again.

"Sure, I'll wait here as long as you need." Grayfia says while drying up her tears.

As they watched the stars there was a meteor storm and they both watched in awe until Issei said "Thank you Fia" and he breathed his last breath until he was put into an eternal slumber. (He's dead if you couldn't tell)

As Grayfia felt his aura fade she cried once more then got up to regroup with the "Stray Devil Retrieval Unit" she looked back at Issei one last time then she flew away.

(In Issei's Mindscape)

Issei finally opened his eyes. "Huh Where am I?" Issei thought to himself. "Is this Heaven?" as he looked around he was in a pasture surrounded by forest but this wasn't a normal forest it was Dreamlike Issei thought. He was about to look around until he heard snoring coming from a mountain far away. After taking a closer look he realized it was a volcano! But it wasn't a normal one you see on T.V it was black with blue fire and lava coming out of it but Issei felt an urge to go there. So he started walking.

After what seemed like hours Issei finally reached the volcano and found where snoring was coming from, a cave in the volcano. "Hello? Anyone in here?" asked Issei to anyone. But there was no response. He debated going in but in the end what other choice was there? Go look for who knows what in where ever the heck he was? "I'm coming in!" yelled Issei skeptically. After about 10 minutes of walking the snoring was unbearably loud until he saw it, a huge Black and Blue Wolf sleeping on a rock. He started to back away until the urge was back but this time was urging him to wake the Wolf up he didn't know what to do after about a minute of thinking he finally made up his mind he would wake the Beast up!

Issei walked towards the Wolf slowly, while the snoring just got louder. When he finally got to the wolf, he wondered "How do I wake him up?! Poke him? Kick him?!" but then he felt the Wolf move. The wolf opened his eyes and Issei just stared into the wolf's eyes in fear and curiosity then Issei realized his eyes were mesmerizing as cold as ice as blue as the ocean yet there was a fire burning in them. As Issei was standing there mesmerized the wolf stood up on all fours and was towering over Issei.

Then it spoke "Issei! Why are you here so early? You must not be any older than 8 what has happened that has awakened me?" Issei was standing there not daring to move a muscle as now, he was more scared then he ever has been before the wolf's aura itself told you not to mess with it, let alone wake it up!

"Hmm I see you cannot speak. I don't blame you I see So many emotions in your eyes." The wolf told Issei

"Hate, Sadness, Regret, and Loss" the wolf told Issei again.

"What has happened to make you feel these emotions and be so confused?" the wolf asked Issei again.

Still Issei didn't speak or move an inch. "Hmm I see not in the mood to talk. Alright I'm going to use a trick I know to see your memories. Don't worry it won't hurt" the wolf told Issei as he walked towards him. When he was right in front of Issei he pressed his forehead against Issei's and Issei's vision went blue and relived every moment of his life including what just happened a few minutes earlier in a matter of seconds. As the wolf pulled away he saw tears in Issei's eyes and in the wolf's eyes you could see sadness for the boy and anger towards the one who did this to him as he too just lived Issei's life.

After a few minutes of silence the wolf spoke up "Listen Issei do you wish to live again? To be able to keep the promise you made with your mother to live?"

After another minute of silence Issei looked and muttered "no"

"What was that?" the wolf asked

"NO! Why would I want to live when there's nobody there for me? My parents died because of me, I don't have any other family my only friend moved away last summer! There's nobody who would miss me if I was gone…"

The wolf was first surprised at first by this then got angry and yelled "Are you stupid?" Issei looked up surprised at what the wolf said.

"Your parents died for you they laid down their lives and would do it over and over just for you to live! And your friend who said she isn't going to come back? What if she did and looked for you only to find out you were dead? She would be devastated!" The wolf yelled this and made Issei scared but made him realize what the wolf said was true.

Issei then muttered again "how would I live? If I'm already dead?"

The wolf answered "It's Simple if you want to live I will revive you with my power."

Issei then asked "why would you do that? How does it benefit you?

The wolf simply answered "I am apart of you I sealed myself into something called a Sacred Gear that the biblical God created for humans to have as weapons against the supernatural such as Devils, Angels, and Fallen Angels."

"Why would you seal yourself in this thing called a Sacred Gear if you are so powerful?" Issei asked the wolf

"I must say you are taking this quite well for a child. But to answer your question It's simple I got bored. I've been around as long as the Biblical God and wanted to see the world from human perspective I've also taken a liking to you. But may I ask why do you call me powerful?"

Issei then told the wolf "Well I thought you were powerful your whole aura is powerful. Are you not powerful?"

The wolf then laughed and said "I don't know if I'm strong or weak throughout my whole life I've never been challenged before! After the wolf calmed down he then asked again "So Issei, do you want to live or not? I will not judge you for your answer as it is your life to live not mine."

After Issei thought for a minute he answered "I will! I will live the life my parents died for!"

The wolf asked one last thing to Issei "before I bring you back I have one request."

Issei was surprised as the wolf said he didn't want anything in return. "What is your request?"

The wolf answered in a loud thundering voice. "Live your' Life! Not for revenge! But live the life you parents wanted for you, don't leave this world with any regrets! And if you must hate something for your parent's death don't hate the devils for killing them hate the evil in the world! Find something to love and protect! then protect it with your life! And if you die protecting it know you did all you could! But most of all do not Regret anything! I've seen many humans die in vain and die regretting they didn't do this or didn't tell that person this or that before they died! That is my only request do you accept?"

Issei then answered "Yes I accept your request and will live my life without regrets!"

The wolf then told him "Very well I will bring you back to life but let me take control of your body as you are tired ill take you to a safe place and wait for you to wake up."

The boy agreed then asked the wolf one final thing. "Before I go I wanna ask. What's your name?"

The wolf answered him with one word. "Sköll"

Issei heard that then passed out.

(Back to Real World)

Issei's started to heal then he woke up but it wasn't Issei it was Sköll he was using Issei's body and fled to a safe place for Issei to wake up in.

(15 Minutes Later)

Grayfia returned to the spot where Issei died expecting him to be there so that she could bury him with his parents, but when she got there Issei wasn't, there was blood splattered where he and Grayfia laid but that was all, no sign of a trail of blood in case a wild animal took him, there was nothing just his blood splattered in one spot. As she looked for his body a blue and black wolf print appeared on her right breast where her heart is without her knowing. But little did she know that, that mark would be the beginning of many things…

Alright! That is chapter 1 done now to answer some questions you might have!

Issei's father didn't use his gun before because he didn't want to risk his child and wife's lives seeing it probably wouldn't work considering Viser was a monster (which it didn't work)

Issei is more mature then most 7 Year olds as I had to make him like that so the story would work out! And that means he pieced the pieces together and accepted the whole supernatural thing easily.

If you have any other questions leave them down below ill answer them if they don't play a role later in the story. Like the Paw print on Grayfia does play a part!

I went over this like 6 times so if there are mistakes im sorry! Im not perfect and I don't have a proof reader. Anyways thank you for reading and please leave reviews and tips!
