Before we continue, I kinda wanted to apologize for getting angry at someone in the comments. I just really had a heated argument as an ex-friend of mine was bullying my friend TaiKetch'em, and I just kinda took my anger out on him.

That being said though, that doesn't mean I forgive anyone who is truly spiteful. Looking at you, Angron. Well guess what? Congratulations, you have achieved NOTHING in leaving this kind of spiteful review.

And to anyone else out there, you can say all this other crap about my story, but it's not gonna do any good for you in the end. I'm not gonna stop making my story, I'm not gonna listen to any crap you make in your review/comment.

Last thing, no there won't be any Pokemon girls joining Ash's harem. There are plenty of Pokemon stories where Ash is with another girl in his series, so I won't add any here.

Let's just get started.

Ash woke up to the sound of his alarm clock, which caused him to stir in bed. He groan and threw his hand up and brought it down, unfortunately missing it. He missed several more times before it suddenly turned off. With that, he believed that he had turned it off and was ready to go back to sleep.

"Rio!" He heard which shot his eyes open. He looked to where his alarm was and was shocked to see what was there. "Riolu!"

He recognized that voice, black and blue fur and jackal appearance anywhere. "Wha-a Riolu?" He says surprised.

"Riolu!" It then said again while raising its paw as Pikachu awoke and was also shocked.

"That's odd. I don't remember catching one." The boy says before he saw that his alarm clock was saying 4:00. "What?" This confused him, but it made sense why it didn't seem very bright out and why he was still groggy. "Man, I could've sworn I set this thing to 6:00."

"Rio!" The Riolu then says as it pushed the clock to the side and jumped into the trainer's arms and started rubbing against him.

"Okay, I might have to thank Arceus for this." Ash says before he yawned. "Man, I need more rest. I was up way too late last night." He says as he was about to go back to sleep.

"Rio!" Then the small aura Pokemon pulled the blanket away and grabbed his arm.

"Hey! What are you doing?" He says a bit annoyed as he was still tired. Riolu stopped pulling and formed an aura sphere in his hands to show what he was trying to say. "Look, Riolu, I appreciate that you want to help me train, but it's too early in the morning to do anymore aura training. I need to get somewhere at six."

With that, Ash pulled the blanket back over himself and intended on going back to sleep. Riolu just sighed as he figured it probably wasn't the best time to wake him up, so he just sat down as Pikachu went to pat his back. Both of them knew the little jackal meant well, but the time he decided to bring them out of sleep wasn't the best.

After another two hours of sleeping, Ash now was getting ready for school without rushing. He had lunch packed, got his uniform on, was trying to tie the ribbon he was given, but couldn't get it right so he decided to go without it once more.

"Rio!" Riolu called as he formed another aura sphere in his hand.

"Riolu, I'm sorry. There's somewhere I have to be right now. When I come back, I promise we'll start training." He told the little Pokemon which made him look a bit sad. "I know! Hey, Pikachu!" The boy then called as the mouse came to his side. "Why don't you stay home and get to know Riolu? Show him around a bit?" He then asks.

"Pika, Pika." Pikachu responded back.

"Okay, good. See you after school." He then says with a smile before waving as he heads out the door, while grabbing his backpack, but forgetting his Kalos vest.

After he left, he made his way to Kuoh Academy as he scratched his head a bit. He had made it to the gate and he looked around at all the other students while standing outside. Then his smile dropped as he remembered what happened only yesterday, and the guild began to kick in.

'I'm sorry I wasn't able to save you.' He says in his thoughts before he continues walking.

While he was walking, some of the students couldn't help but notice that he looked a bit sad. They were all wondering why he looked down in the dumps. Some were saying that he probably got dumped and others said stuff like maybe his dog or a different house pet died. He heard and didn't feel the need to say anything so he made his way to homeroom so he could get the day over with.

He opened the door and didn't step a foot in when Ash felt something off. He looked around and then saw someone he didn't recognize at first at his desk. He blinked and shook his head before entering fully then getting a better look.

'N-no way… no way.' He wasn't just feeling the familiar aura he sensed back then.

Isara was there, sitting right in her seat twirling her pencil. He got closer and tapped her shoulder which made her jump a bit and almost drop her pencil. Then she turned her head to look at him annoyed, before she realized who it was and her eyes widened. Both of them were shocked to see each other, however the boy was more shocked.

'But… I-I saw her die… how is she still here?'

The class caught them staring at each other and some started talking as the brown-haired girl looked around and blushed a bit as she turned away. "Alright, settle down class." The teacher then came in and everyone stopped. "Mr. Ketchum, sit down." He then says.

Ash's trance broke and he looked at the teacher then just sat down. But that didn't stop him from thinking about the fact that Isara wasn't dead when he saw her get stabbed in the chest. He turned to her and she took a glance before quickly turning away with her face red. That didn't stop her from taking a few other glances at him.

'This doesn't make any sense. There's no way she should be here. I saw her die before-' He was thinking before he remembered the red-haired girl that appeared afterwards. '... What did she do?...'

It became clear that she had to know something about why Isara wasn't dead. Now, his objective was clear that he needed to speak with her about what's going on. Then he felt something thrown at his head and looked to see who did it. He saw Isara with her hand up a bit before she titled down, telling him where to look.

Ash looked towards his desk and saw a folded piece of paper. Unfolding it, it read: 'What happened yesterday?' a bit sloppy as if rushed. He looked back towards her and she stared at him while still blushing a bit. He figured that she'd ask him so he turned it over and wrote down: 'Let's talk, after school' before he handed it back to her.

He still didn't know too much of what's going on or how she was still alive but he believed the best he could do was at least tell her about Aura. Possibly even teach her just to help her defend herself. But then again, he didn't know if he wanted to really tell her since he still didn't know her.

Timeskip, and lunch has begun. Ash decided to go and sit in the spot where he was before as he made his way to the tree and sat down with his food. He looked around and took off his backpack and unzipped it.

"Alright, Pikachu. Le-" He was about to say before he saw that nothing came out of his bag. "Pikachu?" He says as he checks it. "Oh, right. Riolu." He says as he remembered that he left the little mouse home to help out the new Pokemon. "Man, this feels weird being away from Pikachu like this."

What he said was true. Him and Pikachu were really close and spent so much time together that they almost seemed like brothers, so him being alone without the little mouse Pokemon was a strange feeling. He sighed a bit as he figured it might as well just be one time and he could take Pikachu back the next day, so he decided to continue eating.

After a few bites, Ash's eyes suddenly opened as he felt that someone was nearby. He looked around and spotted Isara was walking towards him, but then stopped when she noticed he was looking and jumped a bit before she backed away.

"I-I…" She stuttered a bit. "I'm sorry!" She then ran off with her tray of food as she hid behind the building.

This made the boy sigh as he still sensed her aura. "I know you're there!" He yelled over. He waited a bit, but she then nervously stepped out from behind with a blush on her face. "You can come out. I don't have a problem with you being here." He says before casually going back to eating.

She was nervous at first, but she shook her head a bit before she moved forward. She stood in front of him and stared at him for a second. Then she shuffled her feet to stand next to him before she then sat while placing her tray down and took a deep breath before exhaling.

Figuring he knew why she was there he thought he should start the conversation. "So, you probably have-"

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?" She suddenly shouted, which caused him to jump.

"... some questions about… what happened." He finished what he said before she suddenly crawled up to him and got on top of him which made him lean back a bit.

"Yesterday, at the fountain, sunset, what did you do!? What happened with Yuno? Why did he do that to me!? What were you doing there!? How did you do that light thingy!? What was that little rabbit mouse monster?!-"

She started going on as Ash was feeling uncomfortable in the position they were in. "OKAY! OKAY! Calm down! Personal space!" He yelled out loud as she stopped and realized what position they were in.

"AH! I'm sorry!" She yelled while pushing herself off of him.

The boy sat back up and breathed in some air. "Okay… first of all: one question at a time. Second of all: can we start with introducing ourselves." He tells her while dusting off his uniform.

"R-right, sorry." She says with her hands in her lap.

"Alright. Anyways, I'm Ash Ketchum. Transfer here and all."

"Isara Hyoudou. I've been a student here for two years."

"Now, what was the first thing you wanted to ask me?"

"I… I wanna know what you did yesterday. What happened to Yuno, and what was he trying to do to me."

With that question, Ash began thinking for a moment before looking around to make sure no one was close by. "If I tell you… you gotta promise to keep this between us."

"Wait, is this some kind of super secret-" She stopped when she saw him making a deadpan expression. "Right, sorry. I-I promise I won't tell anyone…" She then says as he was about to begin. "Can I tell my friend?" She interrupts as he looked annoyed. "Got it… sorry."

The boy just sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose. "Well, for starters, I don't have an answer for every question, but I will answer as much as I can." He answers her. "Before I answer any, I wanted to ask something myself. How long have you known that Yuno guy?" He asks her as she seemed uncomfortable.

"T-that's kinda personal you know." She says, almost annoyed.

"I just want to know." He asks her as she looked embarrassed again.

"Um… well… three days ago." She whispers the last of her sentence. "I-I get that i-it's fast to be dating someone like that, but-" She was saying before held his hand up.

"Okay, I won't say anything about that. I'll answer some of your questions." Isara was a bit red in the face knowing that Ash knew she didn't know Yuno for long before she started dating him, but listened for answers. "Look, I can't really say I know what that guy is or what he was trying to do, but I knew it was bad. I knew because…"

He stopped as he didn't know if he wanted to tell her about aura or not. "H-he gave me a bad vibe, so I decided to keep an eye on him." He tells her before pausing for a second. "Which I guess is a bit stalker-ish…" Saying that made the girl look more annoyed at him. "But, I couldn't take any risks and needed to make sure you were safe."

He then says which caused her to blush some more as she was surprised to hear someone say that they wanted to make sure she was safe. "But… w-why did you want to protect me?" She asks as she wanted to be sure.

This made him raise a brow as he turned to her. "What do you mean why? I'm not gonna stand by and let someone who doesn't deserve to be forced into whatever that guy's entertainment. I may not know you but I'm not gonna just sit by and let evil pry on the innocent." He tells her which took her aback.

Being of Isara reputation, the thought of someone talking about her so kindly was entirely new to her. All she's been called is a perv by many students that someone saying that they want to help even if they didn't know her was new to her.

Then Ash cleared his throat which caused her to snap back into reality. "Anyways, is there anything else you wanna ask? We don't have much time left."

"Y-yes, I do… um…" She scratched her head trying to think. "It was… that rabbit thing… yellow, red cheeks. What was that?" She asked him which took him aback a bit himself.

That was one of the few things that made him pause. "Oh, brother…" He says as he ran his fingers through his hair. 'Do I really wanna tell her so soon?' He thought before deciding to ask something instead. "Before I say anything, can I ask you another question?"

"What? Why?"

"I just want to know, besides I just answered a question for you." He pointed out as she understood and let him ask. "Alright. This may be hard to answer but… how are you alive?" Once he asked that, she seemed surprised.

'Wait, he doesn't know?' She thought to herself which surprised her as she was hoping that he had a clue as to why she wasn't dead ether. 'But… then… how…?' She was confused as to what she should say when she had no idea herself.

Then the school bell rang and that signaled that their conversation had to be cut short. With nothing else to say, Isara just took what she didn't finish from her lunch and left. Ash was alone with his thoughts for a bit. He didn't figure out why she was alive and it was clear that she herself didn't know what Yuno was nor what he was trying to do to her.

He figured that the red-haired girl has to know more and when he asks her, he'd get more answers. But he was also worried about the possibility of having to tell them about Aura, Pokemon, and the fact he was from another world. So, he had to think of what to say to them.

Isara on the other hand was a bit uneasy as she herself was a bit confused as to why he was asking questions over hers and how he didn't know why she wasn't alive ether. He also seemed to avoid her question about the creature he was with when Yuno attacked her, which made her wonder even more about him.

(Flashback)

"Aika, stop messing with me!" Isara was at the stairs with another brown-haired girl who had pink rimmed glasses.

"I told you once, I'll say it again. You have never shown or mentioned anything about this Yuno guy that you somehow got to date." The girl tells her.

"But I literally introduced him to you before friday. You were eyeing him."

"Are you sure you didn't just have a wet dream or something?"

"He was real. I was able to touch him and I felt his hand and fingers and when he'd put his arms around me and… and…"

"Okay, girl, I really think you should stop watching those videos so late at night. Starting to think they're messing with your head a bit." The brown haired girl suggested which made her look annoyed at her. "Hey, how about we try to sneak a peek of that Ash boy later today? Maybe we can catch a good look at his naked bod and see what he's packing." She then whispered to her.

This caused Isara's face to heat up and smile pervertedly as blood came from her nose. "I'll take that as a yes. Bye-bye." The girl then says before leaving.

(Flashback over)

She remembered how her friend reacted when she told her, it was as if she had her memory wiped of Yuno completely. She was convinced that what happened wasn't real. But Ash still has memory of when it happened and he was able to confirm that it was real so she knew she couldn't have gone crazy.

(Timeskip to the locker room)

Isara and her friend Aika were currently hiding in the boy's locker room, hiding in one of the lockers as the four-eyed girl was looking through keeping a lookout for a certain boy. Since it was time for PE, that meant that the boys were not only gonna be getting changed, but they preferred during after class when they do it while sweaty.

"Well, there are some nice studs that I've seen before out there, no sign of the Ketchum-man." Aika says as she seemed disappointed. "Come on, where is he? He should have been here by now." She started to complain.

Isara was sitting down thinking. 'Rias said that she was a devil… but if that's true then what is Ash? I-is he human?… Okay, maybe I should have asked him that earlier. But… what is Yuno then? And… why did he attack me?' She thought to herself as there was some echo that she didn't hear at first.

"Isara… Isara!" Aika whispered loudly to her friend which made her jump out of trance. "Shh! Keep it down! They might hear." She then says. "What were you spacing out about? You're usually eyeing all the good lookers there." She then asks.

"I-I uh… Uh, I…" The brown haired girl tries to say but can't think of anything to say.

"Come on, what's the deal with you? First this thing with your nonexistent boyfriend Yuno, now you're doing this spacing out crap. What is going on?" She asked a bit worried.

"Wha… uh… I-I…" Isara was a bit worried cause she didn't want to tell her anything about what was happening to her.

"Oh, look who it is." They then heard before Aika stood up.

"Jackpot! Finally." She then said.

"What? What is it?" Isara asked

"New boy. And I'm ready to Ketchum."

"WHAT?"

Isara wasted no time and got up to look through the locker. Ash had entered the locker room and already most of the guys were glaring at him as he opened his locker. But then some of them stopped when they saw him pull up his shirt and show his body.

He didn't have bulging muscles, but he did have tight abs and even a six pack which caused some of the men to feel a bit intimidated when they saw him. The two girls were getting a good view of it though as one of them was drooling from seeing his body.

"Aw, yeah. That's a man alright." Aika says pervertedly as a bit of blood was coming from their noses.

The glares from the other boys were gone, but someone still had the guts to speak up. "So, what is going on with you and little miss perv?" One of them suddenly asked.

"What?" Ash says as he turns to him.

"You know who I'm talking about."

"N-no I really don't."

This made the boy confused as he didn't know who they meant by little miss perv. "Fine, I'll rephrase it. What's going on between you and Hyoudou?"

"Wait what?" This caused him to look a bit shocked.

"Yeah, we heard you two were talking during homeroom, passing paper to each other. You got a thing for her or something?" Another guy asked almost snobbishly.

"WHAT?!" This caused him to look shocked.

As for the two hiding in the locker, Isara was sweating bullets as she knew what they were talking about. Aika was looking down at her. "Isara, what are they talking about?" She asked her.

"Um…" The other girl still had a hard time thinking of what to say. "I-I…"

"So, what have you and Ketchum been doing exactly?" The four-eyed girl then says with a perverted grin.

"N-nothing. I-I don't know him."

"Don't be like that. Come on girl, tell me. Did you do anything with him?" She then asks as she got closer to her. "Did you happen to see his… you know… Shaft." She then whispers to her ear as Isara knew what she meant.

This caused her face to lit up brightly as blood burst out her nose. "N… n… no…" She says as her friend seemed disappointed.

"So are you dating her or something?" Another guy asked him.

"No! W-what does… I-I-" Ash couldn't finish.

"Come on, why would someone like him wanna be with someone like her?" A different guy said.

"To be honest, I've never seen them talk so…" And another said.

"Look, I don't know what you're talking about. I don't even know her." He finally was able to speak.

"He's giving the same excuse." Aika then says with a smile.

"Then what were you two talking about?"
"Yeah, did you actually pass papers to each other?"
"Come on, did you?"

A bunch of men were starting to bombard him with questions as they all wanted to know. "Hey, hey, come on guys. Lay off him." Suddenly a black haired boy came up, putting his hand on the boy's shoulder and telling the others off.

This caused the other men to scoff. "Great, what do you want, Kazuto?"

"I want you to lay off of him. He hasn't even been at this school even a full week or even two days and you guys are already starting to harass him with these questions." The blonde tells them. This causes them to scoff and turn away as they went back to getting changed. "I'm sorry about them. They can get pretty annoying at times." He then says to Ash.

"Uh, thanks. Thank you alot." He says before he grabs his gym clothes and begins to put them on.

"Anyways, my name is Kazuto Kusanoo. Nice to meet you." the blonde boy says while holding out his hand.

"Ash Ketchum. Nice to meet you too." Ash then says they shook hands.

"Yeah, the guys in this school can go a bit far. Mostly out of jealousy, because they're annoyed when a boy other than them talks to a girl." He explains. "Especially since they're mostly perverts. But while some of them may be perverted, they're not as bad as those two." He then gestured to a kid with a shaved head and a boy with glasses.

"HEY! WE CAN HEAR YOU, YOU KNOW!" They both yell.

"Okay… but what makes them worse?" Ash asks him.

"They're the perverted duo. They're known for spying on girls when they're changing in the locker room and stuff." Kazuto explained further.

"Oh, I think I get it now." He then says as he was reminded of a certain someone.

"Come on let's get going." The blonde boy then says as he gestured for the raven-haired boy to follow.

(Timeskip)

All the boys had left the locker room and the two girls got out of the locker. "Geez, it was really hot in there. Probably should think of somewhere else to hide." Aika says as she fanned herself.

"No kidding." Isara agreed with her.

"So…" The glasses girl then says which caught her friends attention. "What's going on between you two?" She then says with a naughty smile on her face.

"W-what are you talking about." She asked, confused and almost embarrassed.

"Nothing, just wanna know what you and Ketchum have been up to." Aika then says as her smile never left.

"I told you, I don't know him. I've never…" Isara tried to tell her, but it became obvious she wasn't gonna believe her so she needed to think of something. "Okay, look, something embarrassing happened to me yesterday, and he sorta caught me while it was happening… I-I just wanted to clear it up with him." She tells her.

"Really now? Is that what happened?" Her friend then got close to her.

"I… I GOTTA GO!" She then ran off.

"Wait, Isara! Don't you wanna see their sweaty bodies when they-?" Aika was about to say but she was already out of the locker room. "... Get back…" She then finished her sentence. "Man, what has gotten into her lately?" She says with her hand on her chin as she was a bit worried for her friend.

(Timeskip)

Gym was nothing special, just a few laps to run and a few pushups and that was it. It was time for last class of the day and Ash couldn't wait for the day to finally be over. He left the locker room with Kazuto and decided to talk with him before class started. They did gain a bit of attention from the girls as they liked to see them work out.

"Ya know, I don't know how I would have gotten out of that situation." Ash told his friend.

"It's okay man, it's just good to know there's another guy here who isn't a pervert." Kazuto says with a smile.

"Yeah, I can understand that. I've heard about the history about what happened here."

"By the way, I don't mean to be rude, but is it true that you had interaction with Hyoudou lately?"

"Umm… well, yeah. But I just got into a misunderstanding yesterday and just wanted to explain something."

"Alright, I'll accept that. I won't bother you for details. As you can tell, not much of the boys like me. Probably because I don't condone their behavior, or tell them off for making someone uncomfortable."

"You sound like a ladies man."

"Well, I'm not exactly popular with the ladies enough to be like a celebrity, but I don't treat them like objects."

"That's… actually something nice to hear."

"Unfortunately, I'm not really into girls." When Kazuto said the last sentence, Ash stepped away a bit. "Don't worry, I'm not gay. I'm just not one to really feel sexual attraction for anything."

"Wait, really?"

"Exactly. I'm what you'd call to be a… well, an asexual."

"Are you sure you wanna tell someone like me who you just met?"

"It's not really that embarrassing. Besides, knowing that you're not like those other guys, I just feel like I can trust you."

This made Ash feel a bit strange that Kazuto would share such a secret when they only just met not too long ago. This caused him to get a bit of some nervous vibes, but he didn't feel evil energy coming off of him. Then again, no one would give away a secret just like that. But what if Kazuto wasn't really bad?

"This is where I must take my leave. Goodbye for now, Ash." Kazuto then says as he leaves to head to class.

"Uh… bye!" Ash says as he held his hand up.

He then started to make his way to last class, but he couldn't help but feel good after talking with this new boy. It felt like he could in fact start a real friendship with him… but then, what would happen if he were to betray him as well? Ash decided to push those feelings aside as he didn't want them to get the best of him and he just decided to leave for last class.

(Timeskip… again)

School was finally over and the teacher didn't pull the stupid 'bell doesn't dismiss you' crap which made a good amount of students, including Ash, relieved to say the least. He was starting to pack up his things which caught the brown-haired girl's attention as she appeared a bit upset from it. Some of the students were starting to wonder why he was packing up after school just ended.

'Now that school's finally over, I can finally talk with that girl about what's going on.' He thinks to himself as he finished packing up.

"Woah, hey it's Kiba!"

Then he heard someone shout out as he turned to see the blonde girl he saw the day before who was again surrounded with men. They were asking her a lot of questions around, but unfortunately, not many could understand what they were asking as there was too many talking at once. Seeing the popular girl made Isara look jealous and annoyed that she was attracting so many men at once.

"Forgive me, unfortunately I can't at the moment. I'm here to pick someone up." The blonde girl politely turned them down as she made her way through.

"Oh, make way for the princess and her mighty beauty." The brown-haired girl said mockingly.

Ash didn't really see any reason to stay and was ready to leave. "Excuse me." But then the voice of the girl caught his attention as she was in front of both him and Isara. "You're Isara Hyoudou and Ash Ketchum. Am I right?" She with a smile then asked which took the boy aback.

"How do you know my name?" He asked her as he was a bit worried.

"Well, for one thing, word spread about you being a new student here." The blonde girl tells him as he groaned a bit. "Besides that, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Yumi Kiba, and I was sent by Rias Gremory to retrieve you." She tells them as his eyes widened a bit.

"Wait a second, is this the fetching?" Isara asks her.

"Fetching?" Ash asked confused.

"Indeed it is. If you wouldn't mind coming with me." She then asks them, her smile still remaining.

Isara just stood up and walked beside her. Ash was wondering who Rias was and thinking that if she wanted to see him, then maybe she must know something. He just shrugged and stepped forward to show he was going with them as well.

"Wait, hold on, she's taking that perverted freak with her and that nobody?"
"No fair, how come they get to go with her? They're nothing special."

A bunch of men were showing that they were getting annoyed and jealous. "Oh, shut up." Isara tells them as she was annoyed.

The three of them left the school and went to the back of the building, seeing that the blonde was leading them into a forest of some sort. This got them confused as to why they were being lead in said direction and made them stand outside for a bit before continuing to follow Kiba into the forest.

Not too long walking through the path, they came across a two story school house that looked old and almost abandoned, but undamaged. "Uh, why are we coming here specifically?" Ash asked as he was a bit worried to go inside.

"This is where President is, and where she'd like to meet you." Yumi tells them.

"Wait, President?" Isara asks her while looking curious.

"We'll explain everything once we enter. Come along." She then says as she walks up and held the door open for them.

The two glanced at each for a second and walked to the door before entering. They were a bit surprised at how clean the hallways looked despite the outside looking old. Not even dust. Yumi led them to a set of stairs going up and held open the door for them which read 'Occult Research Club'.

'What would Rias be doing as the president of this kind of club?' Isara thought to herself as the two of them walked inside.

"President, they're here!" Yumi says as she enters while closing the door.

They were surprised once they saw the inside. It looked nothing like a schoolhouse room but rather, almost like a living room. Sofas, fire place, coffee table, bookshelves, but what stood out from the setting was the office-like desk, and the large circle drawn the floor that took up half the room.

Then something caught their eyes as they spotted what looked like a little white-haired girl sitting on one of the sofas eating youkan. "Oh my gosh, that's Koneko Toujou." Isara then whispered to the boy.

"Who?" He asked as he didn't know who that was.

"Koneko Toujou. Haven't you heard? She looks like an elementary school girl but she's one of the first years here. She's like a mascot thanks to how popular and adorable she looks." The brown-haired explains as the little white-haired girl just stared at them with a stolid look as she ate her youkan.

"Okay… why is she giving me that look?"

"From what I hear, she doesn't show emotions to anyone. No one knows why."

"This is Isara Hyoudou and Ash Ketchum." Yumi introduces the two of them.

"Um, hi." Isara says with her hand up.

"Nice to meet you." Ash says with his hand up as well. Koneko didn't say anything and just bowed her head before going back to eating. 'Not much of a talker, huh?' The boy thought to himself.

They then heard the sound of water running before they drew their attention to the curtain at the back of the room as it showed a silhouette of a female. The boy stared in awe and confusion as to how they had a shower in the house they were in and what the purpose was. Then a black-haired girl with her hair tied in a ponytail with a yellow ribbon stepped into the room as she placed clothes next to it.

"President, your clothes are ready." She then says.

"Thank you Akeno." The two then heard a familiar voice and it made both of their eyes widen.

'Well, now I know who Rias is.' The Ash thought to himself before looking at Isara to see her drooling with some blood leaking out of her nose. 'What the…? What's up with her?' He thinks to himself.

"Oh, my. I don't believe I saw you." The raven-haired woman then says as she turned to Ash and Isara and made her way which made the brown-haired girl step back a bit, seeing her big breasts bounce with each step. "Don't worry, I don't bite… well, you I would if you wish. ~" She then says as she stepped towards the boy and put a finger under his chin.

"I-I think I'm good." He told her while Isara looked jealous to say the least.

"It's nice to meet you. I'm Akeno Himejima. The vice president." She tells him with a smile on her face.

"Uh… Okay, my name is-"

"You're Ash Ketchum and Isara Hyoudou, I know I was told that I'd see you here." She interrupted.

"Y-yeah." 'How do these girls all know my name? I can't be that popular when I haven't even been here for a whole week.' He thought to himself as he was getting a bit more suspicious.

"Sorry for the wait." Then the curtains to the shower opened up to reveal the red-haired girl that the boy figured had to be Rias in her uniform, drying her hair. "It's a bit rude, but I didn't really have the chance to wash at Isara's place." She tells them. "Now that you've arrived, why don't you two take a seat?" She then asked them.

With that said, Ash took a seat next to Koneko and Isara sat next to him. He just wanted to get some answers before leaving. "Now that everyone is here… Ash, Isara, we welcome you to the Occult Research Club." Rias says as she goes and sits on the desk.

"Tea is ready." Akeno then placed a tray down on the table that had a teapot and hands a cup to Isara.

"T-thank you." The brown-haired girl replies while a bit nervous which made the black-hair girl's smirk widen a bit.

Then Ash was handed a cup as well. "Ash, if you wouldn't mind, I have a few questions for you. For now though, I'll get straight to the point as I'm sure you must have questions as well." Rias states.

"Okay, well, if that's the case then I wanna ask something first." The boy spoke up as he got the attention from everyone in the room. "Just what are you guys exactly?" He then asked.

This came as a bit of surprise because they expected him to at least know what they were, but Rias kept her smile and decided to explain. "To begin with, the name of this club is just to hide what we truly are. And since you don't seem to know about what we are, I'll explain then." She tells him.

"Alright, go on."

"You see Ash, we're not humans. We're what's known as devils." She then says, which made the boy stand up while opening his hand. "Ah, da, da… calm down and listen before attempting anything. We're not the type of devils that do evil. There are devils that do bad things, but then there's us who don't."

Ash stayed where he was and looked around the room. None of the 'devils' in the room seemed to move or even show an attempt to attack him even though it seemed like he threatened them. His hand shook for a moment before he closed it and sat back down.

"How do I know you're not gonna try something?" He says while keeping his guard up.

"Even if you don't trust me, I still wish to continue my explanation." The red-haired girl stated while still smiling. "That boy, Yuno, right?" She then asks as Isara nodded her head. "I'm sure you saw the wings he had. He's not a devil though. Rather, is a fallen angel." She then stated as the brown-haired girl was shocked.

"W-what?" She says as she was a little freaked out. "But, wait, isn't that the same thing?"

"Not at all, though I can understand the confusion. A fallen angel is an angel that has been banished from Heaven for their sins. But even so, they're still considered an enemy to us devils. Then there are the angels that are sent down to fight against both our races. As a result, we have to defend from both types of angels, and vice-versa."

Rias finished explaining as Isara was overwhelmed while Ash looked like he understood but he was too. "Well, guess if I didn't see it for myself I'd think this all sounds ridiculous." He states.

"And I wouldn't blame you. No one in their right mind would believe such a thing. Yuno has the ability to erase memories and traces of himself which is why no one else whose seen him remembers." She then explained. "If you want to ask a question, then go right ahead." The red-haired girl then tells him.

The boy thought about what to ask her at first before he got up and faced her. "I wanna know what you did to Isara for starters." He then says as said girl was surprised. "If that thing with Yuno really happened yesterday, then why is she still alive? I saw her die. And what was he trying to do anyway?" He asks her.

"Well, I thought it would have been obvious. He tried to kill you, correct?"

"He tried to kill me, but it looked like he was gonna force Isara into doing something."

"Well, I guessed that his mission was to kill her, but looks like dark thoughts made him think otherwise. It would appear as though she got unlucky is all. Even a bad person would do something evil without a reason." Rias explained to them.

"That doesn't explain how Isara is still alive."

"I'm getting there. The real reason she was a target to Yuno was due to her Sacred Gear. And being human he found her an easy target."

"If you want someone to blame for all this, why don't you blame God? After all, he did grant you the Sacred Gear in the first place."

Isara flinched when she was reminded of what Yuno told her. "W-what's a Sacred Gear." She spoke up.

"An irregular power that's bestowed to certain humans. Most people in history have said to carry one, which is how they record their names. In fact, most of the people who hold worldwide importance possess a Sacred Gear." Yumi explained to her.

"Now, most humans who have Sacred Gears only find use in human society, but then there are a special few which are dangerous to our kind, and others." Akeno explained.

"I'm sure you're still waiting so I'll explain why Isara is still alive. It's simple to explain really. All I did, was reincarnate her as a devil." Rias then says which surprised Ash but Isara was shocked down to the core. "Specifically, a devil in my household." She then says before wings popped from her back.

This caused the girl to jump back when she saw this before the others formed their wings from their backs. Then suddenly wings popped from Isara's back as she jumped and looked freaked out from what was happening.

"T-this… n-no… no, no, this isn't happening, th-this isn't happening…" She tried to deny it at first.

"Isn't it exciting to be one of us?" Akeno then says which didn't help.

"Our club works like this. We grant power to humans for a price we can both agree on then seal it with a pact. Originally we were summoned through magic circles, but that got complicated, so we started accepting phone calls. Do you understand now?" Rias finished explaining.

"I-is that what you meant when you said I am your servant?" Isara says while still wrapping her head around the situation.

"Correct."

Ash still had a bit going through his mind, but when he heard about Isara being reincarnated as a devil… 'Shit, if Rias hadn't shown up when she did, I could've been one of them.'

"Now that we got your questions out of the way, I believe it's time for my questions to be answered." Rias then says, referring to the only boy. "Ash, you had an unbelievable power when I first sensed it and it has only appeared to grow stronger since then. If I'm being honest, I find it hard to believe that someone with a power like yours didn't have the information I explained, prior to talking face to face."

He had a feeling he knew what she was going to ask him. "So, what do you want to ask?"

"I believe you know what I intend to ask. What power do you possess, Ash Ketchum?" She then asked him which confirmed his suspicion. "You seem to know of you having these powers, yet before we spoke to each other, you had no knowledge of devils, angels, fallen angels or Sacred Gears."

"And what do you want with my powers exactly?"

"You see, Isara may have a powerful Sacred Gear, but you appear to have a power unseen before. And that catches my interest." She told him, which made him wonder what she was thinking. "Ash… I want you to join the Occult Research Club and become a member of my peerge."

To be continued…

Okay, so there was a bit of filler in this chapter, but I did like introducing my OC Kazuto into this story though. So Ash has been told about devils, angels and fallen angels, and is now offered by Rias to become a devil. What might come out of this?

If you have any suggestions on what I could do for this story, leave them down below.

Thank you all for reading and I'm done here… PEACE OUT, dudes!
