Well, with that out of the way, it's time to start the story, and I hope you all enjoy!

Prologue!

Walking through the streets of Kuoh, heading towards his home, was a lone boy.

He was of an average height, a gentle face with blonde wind swept to the right hand side hair with silver weaved in through his fringe only, the hair reaching just before his shoulders, the eyes seemed to be a different colour, his left eye was red and his right eye was green. Wearing the average uniform, with the blazer fully done up, a bag by his right hand side.

His name was Makoto Hyoudou.

After splitting off with his friend, he decided to walk home.

Since the sun was setting, he could still see what was before him, and also noticed the lights of the street were coming on.

However, as he walked alone, he noticed that the area was beginning to become less and less populated, though the road was a very busy road normally. Even when it was in the dead of night, it was filled with a number of people, so seeing that before him, and behind him, was beginning to be packed with less and less people, was quite frightening.

Placing a hand over his heart, Makoto's eyes went around, feel a chill going down his spine.

"...Not again...what is this..."

He didn't even want to think about it, he just began walking away from the area, attempting to get home.

Though as he turned towards his street, a figure came shooting down from behind Makoto.

The boy was oblivious to it since it was rather silent, but then as the figure went to grab Makoto...a bright white light shot from from behind, embedding their fist into the enemies body, and sent them flying into the air, with the sound of "Gwaaah!" escaping the enemies mouth, alerting Makoto to the noise, turning around quickly...

But he didn't see anything.

Looking up, down, right, left, and even behind and in front of him, he didn't see anything at all.

"...Thank you, Angel-san."

Makoto didn't know exactly what had happened, but he didn't want to stick around to find out either, so he quickly began running off home, while also feeling as if something had helped him. He wasn't sure what...but deep down, he felt as if something was there, watching over him.

What he didn't see was far above the clouds, was a man being strangled by a mysterious figure all in white.

"Y-You can't protect him forever..."

The man groaned, as the white light merely placed a hand out.

"Perhaps, but for him, I'll do anything."

The white light unleashed their energy, and completely annihilated the enemy, as their eyes went down to Makoto's fleeting form, a soft smile slowly growing on their face.

The next day, Makoto headed towards his school, walking beside his elder brother.

The other boy was a brown haired youth around the same height as the blonde, with his hair, unlike the blonde, was more spiked at the front, and brown eyes and compared to the blonde, he wore his outfit with a red undershirt, with the blazer being open to expose said shirt along with the white school shirt.

This boy was called Issei Hyoudou, and though they were brothers, Makoto was adopted into the Hyoudou family.

Ise's face curled upwards every time a pretty girl would walk on by, though they usually looked a little freaked out, or they seemed to quickly say "Get away from the Prince!" causing Ise to glare at Makoto.

"What are you glaring at me for?"

"You know why..."

Ise said through gritted teeth.

"Honestly, if you didn't spy on them while they were changing for gym, then maybe they'd not say these things. Same goes for your pervy friends too."

"Even then Makotooooooooooooooo! You've got to help me gain their affections!"

Makoto just gave him a curious look as they continued walking together.

However as they walked, a blonde haired young girl suddenly came shooting towards them. Wearing a gothic lolita dress, her finger extended to Makoto who looked on curiously.

"We are never getting back together again!"

Makoto glanced at Ise who shrugged his shoulders.

"Eh..."

"No, I wont hear any more of it! I don't want to be with you but I secretly do!"

"But..."

"No, I've made my decision! I don't want to be your girlfriend anymore! B-But, maybe we could still go out sometimes!"

"We're not dating, I don't know who you are."

Makoto said dryly, bringing confusion to the young girl.

Her eyes flickered, then she slapped herself in the head.

"Shit..." The girls eyes went over the young boy, then smiled slightly. "So...shot in the dark, want to go out with me?"

"No, no thank you."

The girls eyes snapped onto his form, and gave an angry stare.

"Are you kidding me?! It's because of my breast size, isn't it!?"

"No, he's actually a Lolicon, so he probably-" Ise stopped when Makoto's dark eyes landed on him. "...ehehe, never mind..."

"We're actually late, so goodbye...good luck in whatever you're doing..."

Makoto grabbed Ise's arm, and began walking faster, and then glanced back to see the blonde looking on with a weird expression on her face, it looked to be a mixture of sadness and anger at the same time, it was hard to discern.

The young blonde haired girl was left behind in a state of disbelief, as a blue haired older woman with larger assets moved closer, and began laughing at the blonde who looked on with cross eyes.

"Hahahahaha, well that didn't go well Mittelt~"

"You shut up Kalawarner! I got confused! I was trying to play Tsundere wasn't I?!"

"Tsundere's don't say stupid crap like that, your Tsundere was just confusing. You broke up with him before dating him...how the hell does that actually work anyway?"

Mittelt's eyes dark eyes fell upon her.

"If you can do better, go right ahead you snarky cow!"

Kalawarner smirked, running a hand across her breast.

"With these, I can get any man to eat out of the palm of my hand."

"Oh yeah, then I bet you that he'll say no to dating you."

Kalawarner growled.

"Fine, you're on. When I win, you have to clean up after Azazel-sama's projects by yourself for a month."

"Same to you bitch."

Kalawarner and Mittelt shook on it, and gave off darker than average smiles.

Ise and Makoto continued walked towards the gates of the large school, and entered inside. As soon as they did, a bunch of girls crowded around Makoto's body, and each began to try and hug him, causing him to let out a little freaked out noise, pushing them away kindly, while Ise felt like shedding a few tears.

Ise's two friends strolled up, one which was bald, and the other had glasses. The glasses wearer pushed his glasses up, staring at the boy with blonde hair being dragged away.

"Damn it! He's going to have sex with those hotties!"

"While we're left with our virginity's intact..."

The bald boy cried out, Ise felt like shedding tears also.

"Even then...I can still have Makoto help me with girls...with him around, they'll speak to me~"

""Get lost Ise you bastard!""

The two male perverts yelled at Ise who smirked back towards them.

Makoto kept being pushed forward, feeling awkward by the girls doing things like this.

But then he passed a young white haired girl, who paused when seeing Makoto, so he quickly took out some food, and presented it to her.

"Want one Toujou-san?"

"...It seems you have come prepared, Senpai."

"Hehehe, when seeing you looking at the ones I had the other day, I thought you might have liked one."

The girl cocked her neck curiously, as she took one.

Makoto then gently petted the girls head while some girls cried "He's a Lolicon." causing Makoto to sigh deeper and quickly speed off towards his classroom.

Koneko's eyes went towards Ise, and then towards Makoto, and furrowed her eyebrows.

But then she shook her head, murmuring "Please don't let Buchou take that one." while glancing at Ise and walked off.

Makoto got towards the classroom of his, and found his male friend. A boy that was around his age, and a bit smaller than he was, with white hair, and red eyes. His expressions seemed to be frivolous, but he also seemed to be quite excited.

"Makoto-kyun! Geez, you look like death!"

"Ehehe, I don't look that bad Freed-kun."

Freed gave a mischievous look to his eyes as Makoto sat down beside him.

"So, are we still on for Sunday?"

"Sure, I'm free that day. Lets go around the arcades together."

"Hahaha, I'll show you my new skills in that driving game!"

Makoto raised a hand to his mouth, letting out a chuckle.

"So, you can crash the car like last time?"

"Hey! Don't say something like that!"

Freed snapped, but Makoto continued laughing a little bit.

While they talked, Ise and his friends came into the room, while a girl, named Kiryuu Aika, grinned at seeing them, loving a chance to mess with them, and strolled forward, leaning against Ise's desk.

"Oi, move it Kiryuu!"

"Ooh, touchy today Hyoudou, what's wrong with you exactly?"

Ise's eyes snapped upon Kiryuu.

"Nothing at all! Just you bugging me like always!"

"Don't say that, I only came here to tell you something."

"What Kiryuu?"

Kiryuu grinned, pushing both Matsuda, and Motohama, Ise's friends, backwards, and leaned closer to Ise.

"I heard a rumour that a girl likes you."

Ise's eyes widened happily.

"Really?! You're not kidding?!"

"Nope, I'm not kidding. I heard her name was Lefty."

"Lefty! Aah, Lefty! She sounds beautiful already!" Ise's mind began to work as Kiryuu grinned. "Wait, who the hell is Lefty?"

Kiryuu chuckled, grabbing his hand, and lifted it up.

"She's right here~"

"Fuck off Kiryuu!"

Ise growled at her while yanking his hand away from her, as Kiryuu laughed loudly.

"Sorry, I thought you already knew. It would give Righty a break, wouldn't it?"

"Grrr, I know a guy that wants to date you! Wait, no they don't! No one wants to date someone as vulgar as you!"

Kiryuu's eyes blazed with fury.

"I could get a boyfriend if I wanted! You'll never date anyone unless you paid a million for someone, and even that would be reluctant!"

"With those breasts, don't think so! And I don't have to pay for it! I have my Otouto to help me gain girls affections!"

"There's nothing wrong with my breasts! And yeah right! He wont help you when it comes to it due to your off putting perverseness!"

"You're one to talk! That's why guys stay away from you pervert!"

The pair continued to argue, while Makoto and Freed looked over to the pair arguing.

"So, when are they getting together?"

Freed snickered out, Makoto held a hand to his mouth.

"I think they'd be nice together, they match each other in perverseness so it would make sense if they dated."

The pair of boys laughed together, and spoke some more until the time for class was to begin.

At lunch, Makoto and Freed sat on the grass just outside of the school building, and nearby the old school building that was on a good size slope like hill. Makoto looked into the sky, as his eyes flickered between the sky, and then the buildings.

But then he stopped when he felt a creepy feeling run up and down his spine.

His eyes went towards the feeling, and saw in the old school building, there was someone at the first flood window, hiding behind a curtain. Makoto couldn't tell if it was a male or female, but he could see that whoever it was, they were looking in his own direction.

"Weird, have you seen that Freed-kun?"

Freed looked towards the building, as the figure hid behind the curtain.

"I didn't see anything. What was it?"

"Someone was stood there."

Deciding to tease him, Freed poked his cheek.

"Maybe it was a ghost~"

Makoto shuddered.

"D-Don't say that! I hate ghosts, just appearing out of nowhere!"

Freed rolled back onto the ground, chortling away.

"Hahaha, I'm sure some girls would love to see your worried face, they'd love you even more~"

Makoto tilted his neck towards the left hand side.

Freed's eyes went towards the Kendo building with his friends, Freed shook his neck side to side.

"But your Onii-sama is a scary guy anyway, if he keeps up his behaviour, he'll never get a girlfriend~ Spying on those girls like that~"

Makoto pursed his lips.

"Onii-chan might be a pervert, but he's always there for me. Even when he seems to be annoyed by me, I always can rely on him."

"Heeeh, is that so..."

Makoto leaned closer to Freed.

"Hmmm? Something wrong Freed-kun?"

"Aah! Nope, nothing at all~"

Makoto cracked an eyebrow at the boy before him, who showed a grin on his face.

They continued to eat, until Makoto's eyes caught the sight of Ise attempting to peak on the Kendo club, with his two perverted friends.

"Onii-chan..."

"Hehehe, look at him go! Is he fearless or crazy? He does realize that they have very strong weapons, right?"

Makoto shrugged his shoulders.

"Sometimes I do wonder...I best go and stop him before they catch him..."

Makoto got to his feet, and went to move, when Freed shot up, and accidentally knocked Makoto backwards. Due to their placement on the hilly area, he lost his footing, and began rolling backwards after tripping, spinning faster and faster as he went.

"Damn Makoto-kun!"

Freed got up and watched as Makoto's body rolled down the hill, just as a black hair styled in a bob cut girl with rimmed red glasses, and violet eyes was just walking through the area, but that came to a halt when she saw Makoto rolling down the hill.

"W-Watch out!"

He warned, but the girl couldn't move out of the way in time, and collided with him in a heap on the ground.

Freed came running carefully down the hill while Makoto rubbed his head.

"Ow..." His eyes went to the girl, seeing that she was looking at him as his body was on top of her own. "Ooh crap! I'm sorry!" Makoto quickly got off the young woman, and bowed his head. "I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to do that!"

The young woman composed herself, getting up to her feet, and then looked towards Makoto with sharp eyes.

Makoto recognized her as the Kaichou of the Student Council, though Makoto didn't know much about her apart from that. He knew that she was rather strict, and hard to approach, not that he had ever tried.

"Playing games like that is rather reckless. Especially near a hill, you could have broken your neck. Also, you could have endangered fellow students."

"Yes, you're right. I wasn't really playing though, I didn't mean to crash into you like that Senpai."

The Kaichou, otherwise known as Sona overlooked Makoto's appearance, then inclined her neck.

"I see, then I shall let it go this time." She began moving forward, while glancing between him and Freed, her eyes lingering on Freed questioningly. "However, be more careful in the future."

"Yes, Senpai."

The girl nodded as she walked off.

As soon as she had gone, Freed let out a small laugh.

"Wow, did you feel Onee-san's strong intense eyes on you? That could be your future girlfriend~ Kaichou-chan seems to be quite a mysterious woman, perfect for you~"

"Future girlfriend...eeh, I don't think Senpai would want to be my girlfriend. I heard that she only likes intelligent people. I don't know much about her but I heard she's super strict, and she follows school rules very seriously. Mehehe, approaching a Senpai like her would be difficult..."

"She seems to have that cold air about her. Onee-san is very scary after all hahahaha~"

Makoto gave Freed a curious look, before playfully rolling his eyes.

The pair of friends laughed together, as they walked off.

Sona turned back to Makoto walking off with Freed, curiously looking on, while a red haired girl came strolling over towards her, and saw the way that her clothes were disheveled.

"Geez Sona, what happened?"

"I got into an accident, that's all Rias."

Rias gave a cheery smile, looking behind Sona to see Makoto leaving with Freed.

"So, you're looking at that boy...erm, what's his name?"

"I believe his name is...that other boy said Makoto huh...Makoto…Hyoudou, I believe."

Rias glanced at the Kendo club, and saw Ise being hit with some wooden swords, making her laugh lightly.

"What a silly boy, peaking on the girls like that~"

"It's against school rules. It's a wonder he hasn't been expelled for his behaviour."

Sona said seriously while pushing up her glasses.

"Lighten up Sona, he's just rowdy, and harmless."

"Harmless, hardly. Setting a bad example for the school by acting in such a manner."

Rias rolled her eyes playfully.

"Anyway, we've got sometime, want to go and eat?"

"Sure, I wouldn't mind."

Rias let out small laughs as they walked off together.

Sona's eyes glanced back towards Makoto, who walked off with Freed, and gave a slight intrigued look, feeling...something as they collided with one another.

Makoto and Freed strolled back to their classroom, but as they were, Freed noticed a certain girl walking closer.

Freed let out a small chuckle, pushing Makoto forward who hadn't noticed the girl.

"Here comes your girlfriend~"

Makoto became confused, looking towards Freed who extended his finger, turning to see Koneko walking through the hallway.

"Oh haha, very funny Freed-kun."

"Hehehehe! Well, I think you'd be perfect, have fun~!"

Freed pushed Makoto forward so hard that he nearly lost his footing.

His body pushed against Koneko's own, who let out a surprised breath.

"Ooh, sorry about that Toujou-san, Freed-kun's being an idiot again."

Koneko raised an eyebrow.

"...Senpai, about that boy you hang out with..."

"Do you have a crush on him? Want me to set you up?"

Makoto chuckled out, but Koneko didn't look amused.

"No, I'd rather not."

Makoto cocked an eyebrow up curiously.

"Heeeeh, then what's wrong?"

Koneko pursed her lips, trying to think of how to say it.

"...I just wondered...how much do you know about him?"

"Erm...I'd say pretty well, he's one of my best friends. But why are you asking? Do you not like him?"

"...It isn't that, I just feel...he's...never mind Senpai, please ignore me."

Makoto found it odd, so he bent down towards Koneko, and gave a cheery smile.

"Is something the matter Toujou-san? Has he said something that offends you? I'll tell him off if he has. He can say things carelessly sometimes."

"...No, that's not it, I just was curious about how you thought about him."

"I see...anyway Toujou-san, I've got to get to class, see you later~"

Makoto gently petted her head, then walked off.

Koneko glanced towards him, and then down at herself.

"...Senpai, I have a bad feeling about him...that Freed, he doesn't feel right...but I could be wrong...I don't know what to think...I can't feel any power from that Freed...but the way he looks at people...something isn't right..."

While mulling it over in her mind, Koneko began walking away once more, while having in mind what she felt regarding Freed, and what, if anything, he could want with Makoto.

On their walk home together, Ise and Makoto chatted away as they usually would do, but then they were stopped when a long black haired girl with an impressive bust size came strolling up towards them, with Ise giving a scowl.

"Here comes one of your fangirls."

"But, I don't know who she is."

Makoto replied as the girl got before them.

"H-Hello there!"

"Hey."

Makoto replied, but the girl gave a shy smile, and glanced at Ise.

"I was...actually speaking to you." She turned to Makoto. "No offence."

Her eyes landed on Ise once more who's face turned brighter.

"S-Seriously, me?!"

The girl held an adorable smile on her face.

"But of course, I meant you silly." Her eyes went towards Makoto who felt a sharp pain in his chest when she did look at him. "So-Sorry if this seems abrupt, but I have been...this is going to sound totally like I'm weird...but, I've been seeing you around town...and I just think you're delightful!"

"M-Me? Not this one here?"

"This one has a name."

"Shhhh Otouto." Ise soothed while poking his fingers towards the girl. "S-So, I'm delightful huh? Hahaha, I've never been referred to as delightful before~"

"Really? That's hard to believe, I think you're quite cute~"

"Cute~ I'm cute~?"

The girl continued to giggle, while Makoto saw a weird look within her eyes, something that he didn't trust.

"Yes, that's right...s-so, I've got some tickets to a movie on Sunday...and I wouldn't mind going with you..."

"Y-You're asking me out?! Me, no one else?! Not this one here!?"

A tick mark appeared beside Makoto's head.

"Again, this one has a name."

"Shhh, Otouto." Makoto shook his head while Ise leaned forward with hope. "M-Me then?"

"Yes...ooh wait, I haven't introduced myself. My name is Yuuma Amano. Nice to meet you."

"Y-Yeah, my name is Issei Hyoudou, my friends call me Ise. This is my Otouto, Makoto."

Yuuma faced Makoto with a smile, but her eyes displayed something different, something more hostile but Makoto couldn't get why. Did she not like him? Was it something he had done? He didn't know at all.

"Ise-kun, that's just so adorable! S-So, do you want to go out with me?"

Ise's face curled upwards into a happiness like no other.

"Yeah! I'll go out with you! I can't believe it! You really mean me!?"

Makoto understood why he was asking the same thing again and again, why he was asking Yuuma if she was sure it was him. Despite him being an open pervert, he also seemed to be unsure about how to accept that a woman would like him.

But seeing this Yuuma, Makoto was happy, but also wary of her.

Something about the way that her eyes looked, he didn't like them at all.

"Yes, that's right. You! He-Here, is my number. I'll meet you at the park, with that big fountain at ten in the morning, okay?"

"S-Sure, see you then!"

Yuuma and Ise exchanged numbers, and she ran off while giving off a small giggle.

Makoto watched as Ise slyly moved closer to Makoto, wrapping an arm around his shoulder.

"Heh, look at that Casanova, seems like I'm the one who got a girlfriend before you! If you want any tips Otouto, come and ask me!" Makoto didn't say anything, and just stared at the place Yuuma was going curiously. "H-Hey, I was only kidding! Don't worry, you'll get a girlfriend! Maybe your loli!"

"Huh...o-oh, yeah, I'm sure one day..."

He seemed distant.

Makoto didn't even know why that was.

Just something about Yuuma Amano...

"Something...wrong?" Makoto gave him an odd look, while Ise came to a 'realization' and showed a grin. "I get it, you're jealous. It's weird, you're usually the one girls like due to your damn good looks, but now the shoes on the other foot huh, must be really weird~ Well, you should have picked a girlfriend when you had the chance. I guess now I'm the one with all of the charm~ Don't worry, when Yuuma-chan and I are on our date, I'll ask if she's got any friends for you, after I ask her to officially be my girlfriend of course~"

"Yeah...that would be great." Makoto smiled timidly, while his thoughts pertained to Yuuma. "That girl...her eyes, something about her set off alarm bells for me. Just what was that feeling I got off of her? I should be happy for Onii-chan, but why do I feel a sense of dread? No, Onii-chan got a date, it is a bit weird that she just asked him out within minutes of meeting him...but Onii-chan looks so happy, I can't deny him his happiness now with my thoughts." Shaking his head of the thoughts of Yuuma being odd, he slapped his cheeks and gave a bright smile to his elder brother. "I am really happy for you Onii-chan, she seems like a lovely girl."

Ise's face curled upwards into a happy expression.

"Isn't she just? And those breasts, damn Makoto! Did you see them? Huge!" Ise blissfully shook side to side, jumping up in place. "And they are so perky! While not Gremory-senpai level, they certainly have a charm to them like no other!"

Makoto gave him a tilted smile.

"Gremory-senpai? You like her?"

"Yeah! Don't you? W-Wait, actually! Don't like her!"

"I don't know her. I've talked to her...maybe once. She seemed nice enough. But you just got a potential girlfriend..." Ise showed a wide grin. "...ooh right, the harem thing."

"Yes the harem thing! Both Gremory-senpai and Yuuma-chan!"

Makoto slowly nodded, wondering if that actually could ever happen.

"Onii-chan, I know you like girls boobs, but you have to remember-"

"Don't worry, I'd only do it if she asked! A man can look, can't he?"

"Yes, I suppose you're right. Well, you've got a date Onii-chan, I'm sure our parents will be thrilled."

Ise thrust his hand to the sky with his face turning redder with happiness, excitement.

"Haha, yup! Aaah, I'm going to rub this in Matsuda's and Motohama's face! Even Kiryuu! Hahahaha! They'll be dazzled that I got a girlfriend...in fact, I'm going to go and do that right now!" Ise turned around and rushed towards his friends home. "Tell Kaa-chan and Tou-chan I'll be back later on!"

"O-Okay..." Makoto watched as Issei disappeared, leaving him alone. "Onii-chan, you're so silly...but that girl...no, I can't think like that. If she's going to be Onii-chan's girlfriend, I'll have to try and forget those uneasy feelings...though I wish I could have asked her a question or two, just something about her is off...anyway, guess I'll go home."

Makoto, not wanting to think about it anymore, turned back towards his house, and disappeared down the street, unaware that he was being watched.

As he walked home, Makoto noticed that towards the right hand side of a shop, there was a young woman with long blue hair stood there, with very large assets, this was Kalawarner who wore a very revealing outfit, it didn't leave much to the imagination, Makoto could even see the top of her breasts, along with her long legs, and even he felt his face turning slightly red, but chose not to look.

"Hey, boy."

Makoto paused when he heard her voice.

Turning towards her, her eyes went towards his own, and she sent off a wink.

Makoto looked around, then pointed to himself, with the blue haired woman inclining her neck.

She then sultry began walking forward, but her heel broke and she ended up tripping while yelling "Ooh shit!" Makoto cringed, and ran over to help her up.

"Hey, are you alright?"

The woman groaned and peered into his eyes.

"Aah shit...stupid heels are new as well..." She took Makoto's hand and he helped her stand. "Thanks for that...damn heels..." Makoto cocked his neck as she showed a calm face. "Anyway, that doesn't matter right now." Kalawarner ran a hand through her hair, and sent another sultry wink towards Makoto. "So, hey there~"

"H-Hey..."

He replied, seeing that Kalawarner was slowly moving her body towards his own.

"So, you know, I've seen you around town before, looking ever so cute~"

Makoto blushed ever so slightly, surprised by the woman's forwardness.

"T-Thank you..."

Kalawarner bent her body over, giving Makoto's eyes more access to her cleavage than before.

"So tell me something, do you have a girlfriend?"

"No, I don't have one..."

"Want one? Because I've been looking for a cute boyfriend, and I think it could be you~"

Kalwarner posed, Makoto couldn't be more surprised if he had tried.

Indeed, Kalawarner was very beautiful.

When he went to comment, Mittelt came running over. Kalawarner looked livid at the appearance of Mittelt.

"Ooh I see, so you're now trying to date this woman my boyfriend?!"

Makoto turned to Mittelt, and began looking on with heavy eyes.

Mittelt went to speak, when Kalawarner tightened her hand.

"Get lost you idiot!"

Kalawarner snapped at Mittelt, who growled.

"Shut up, I can do what I want!"

"You're not even dating him you moron! No one would date you!"

Compared to how she was before, Kalawarner showed more of an aggressive side.

Makoto cringed, slowly pulling away from the women, as Mittelt pushed Kalawarner.

"What kind of dress is that? Showing off everything!"

"At least I have things to show off you loli bitch!"

Mittelt gasped, while Makoto thought "It's best to get out of here...why do I keep attracting the crazy ones...?" and quickly made his exit while the women continued arguing.

"Loli bitch!? I'd rather be that than whatever you are cow!"

"Don't call me a cow you little shit!"

Mittelt and Kalawarner continued their argument.

Until they realized that Makoto had gone.

"Great, he's gone...and now thanks to your performance Mittelt, he wont speak to me again. Guess we're not going to lure him with a date now. Well done Mittelt."

Mittelt wasn't pleased with the comment, but she snickered.

"Haha, I knew you couldn't do that~ Now you have to clean up after Azazel-sama~"

"You sabotaged me! I'm not doing anything for you, you failure!"

The two glared hard at the other, and looked ready to pounce on the other.

When Makoto returned home, he told his parents about what Ise was doing, and the fact that he got a girlfriend, leaving out his own encounters with...eccentric girls, then he went to his room, seeing a black cat laying down on the bed.

"Princess, I'm home~"

The cat, Princess, raised her head, and meowed adorably, as he got onto the bed.

Lifting her up, she purred and rubbed against his face.

"Princess, you're so cute~"

"Nyaaaaa~"

She sang out, as he laid down on his bed. Princess immediately hopped onto his crotch, and snuggled against said crotch, Makoto chortling lightly.

"Honestly, you're a weird cat Princess~"

He chortled out, as she purred when he stroked her back the ear.

While laying down on his bed, his phone began to ring. Giving it a look, he saw that it was Freed so he answered it.

"Ooh hey Freed-kun, what's going on?"

[Hahaha, nothing much. But, I just heard, your Onii-sama got a girlfriend? How much is he paying her?]

"Freed-kun, that's not nice." He berated with a small laugh, knowing Freed was only joking. "But yeah, he's got a girlfriend, well sort of anyway, they're going on a date anyway. How did you hear?"

[Walking out of school, he was yelling at his friends about it.]

"I see, that sounds like Onii-chan. His possible girlfriend, it's strange to say this, and I'm not saying it because she is his possible girlfriend, but I got a weird vibe from her."

[Weird how?]

He wondered over the phone, while Makoto pursed his lips in thought.

"I don't really know...she had this look in her eyes. It felt...cold. But she seemed so warm to Onii-chan. Maybe she just doesn't like me. Though even if she didn't, I wouldn't let that bother me if she makes Onii-chan happy."

[Haaaaah, maybe you're just worried that she might hurt your Onii-sama and feel protective over him.]

Makoto thought about that for a moment, and thought that it could be true, though he didn't know if that was true or not.

"Yeah, maybe you're right. I do want Onii-chan to get a girlfriend, but I don't want this girl to hurt him...you're probably right, I'm probably just worried about Onii-chan and want to make sure that he's safe and happy."

[Yeah, it probably is. But aaah, now the world is acting weird! Pervy Onii-sama got a girlfriend! Right, you're getting together with a girl!]

"I-I will when I find a girl I'm interested in!"

[Well that's why you have me, Makoto-kyun~ How about Loli-chan?]

"Ehehehe, please, it's okay."

[Don't be shy, it's fine! I'll make sure you get the best girlfriend~]

"I-If you say so, I'll hold reservations about that."

Freed laughed down the line, and the pair talked for a good while after that.

As he was, Princess swayed side to side on his crotch, seemingly enjoying herself.

The next day, Makoto went towards the library to get some books for his class. Searching through the stacks of books, Makoto's eyes ran themselves across various different ones.

He then saw a book that he was particularly interested in, so he went to reach for it.

But then another hand came out, and grabbed said book, surprising Makoto.

He turned to see that it was Sona.

"Senpai, what a surprise. Hey, I didn't crash into you this time~"

Sona held a slight bemused look on her face.

"Yes, it seems we didn't crash into each other. Though that book, are you interested in those works as well?"

Makoto nodded, looking slightly shy due to the fact that this was Sona, a woman that no one could ever speak to. Even though she was very beautiful, Sona as a person was hard to approach.

"Actually, it's one of my favourite series~ I just love the murder mystery aspect of it. I like the challenge of being presented clues at the beginning of the book, and seeing how it plays out, seeing how the killer is revealed, their motivations, the rich deep side characters that add a good deal to the story, the red herrings. I must confess, half the fun of it is seeing if you're right or wrong near the end of the book."

Sona cocked her head.

"Yes, I'd tend to agree, I also enjoy the challenge of seeing if I was right or wrong towards the end, and this writer is able to keep my thoughts changing through the story with new evidence, character motivations being revealed among other things, I do immerse myself within the world these characters live. I tend to find time to read the newest ones when they come out. Though if you're currently going for it, then..."

Makoto, shaking his head, offered the book towards her, being a good junior to her, plus it was nice to see Sona being so social.

"Here Senpai, you can have it."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I don't mind, I've got some other books to occupy my time."

Sona held onto the book, and gave a thankful nod.

"I assure you when I'm finished, I'll give the book to you, and I wont spoil any of it."

"O-Oh, thanks Senpai, that's really nice~"

Sona raised an eyebrow.

"Is it weird for me to be nice?"

Makoto's face dropped as Sona's face didn't change to either negative or positive, it seemed to remain neutral.

"Eeh, no, I wouldn't say that...it's just like, seeing you...how to say this without it sounding rude..."

"I assume that you're speaking about how I interact with other students."

"Yes...that's right Senpai. I don't mean it's a bad thing, everyone does their own thing after all, and people should respect that..."

"I...yes, I couldn't have put it better myself. I tend to find speaking to others I'm unfamiliar with to be difficult."

"Same here."

Sona looked mildly surprised.

"I wouldn't have guessed that."

"Hehe, I'm just naturally more...reserved I suppose, which I am working on...but Onii-chan's the one with the more...energy I guess, he's able to strike up friendships with different people...for better or for worse with his friends..."

Sona held back a smile that threatened to grow on her face.

"His friends...yes, I can see why that's for worse."

Makoto let out a small laugh, he never thought he'd be able to enjoy his time with Sona like this.

He never thought he'd speak to Sona like this at all honestly.

"Exactly, those two are like...they share his interests, but they're rather asshole like to him as well...I don't get it myself, but he seems to like them..." Makoto then realized what he had said in front of Sona, and bowed his head immediately. "...Ooh crap, I just said a swear in front of you Senpai...I'm so sorry..."

Sona held out her hand to stop him.

"Relax, I wont say anything about it, considering...who we're speaking about. I can let it go this time." As she said it, the bell for class rang. "Seems like our conversation was cut short. About this book, I'll be able to read it in a few days, so I'll meet you here on Monday if you wish so I can give it to you."

"Y-Yes, thank you Senpai!"

Sona nodded with her usual stare, but it held something...else within her stare as well.

She felt something...interesting about Makoto.

But with those thoughts in her mind, she walked off and left behind Makoto.

"Wow...Senpai's unexpectedly easier to speak to than I had imagined..."

"Young man, you have class to attend."

Makoto's eyes widened when the librarian said that.

"Yes, going now!"

Makoto quickly grabbed his stuff, signed out the books he wished for, and began running away towards his classroom.

Meanwhile, Kalawarner and Mittelt were sat within a Church, and had their heads bowing down. Yuuma was sat there, as well as a man who's name was Dohnaseek.

"So, let me get this straight..." She began, peering between Kalawarner and Mittelt. "...neither of you could get a date with him?"

"It wasn't my fault! It was that damn Mittelt! I had him in the bag, and then she came along and started all this crap business!"

"It wasn't my fault! Kalawarner pissed me off before, and confused me! If she didn't get in the way then I could have gotten him!"

They argued separately, but Yuuma didn't want to hear anything of it.

"Seriously...I got Issei...is it because of her? Are you afraid of her watching over him?"

Dohnaseek snorted as Yuuma said that.

"Yeah right, I'm not scared of her at all."

Yuuma's eyes snapped upon Dohnaseek.

"Do not be a fool, you know that she could kill us if she was so way inclined! But if we got Makoto out of the way...then her fighting spirit would go down quite a bit."

"You're the foolish one! You're simply scared of her!"

"So should you be Dohnaseek!"

Yuuma argued, with Kalawarner and Mittelt nodding.

Dohnaseek shook his head in disappointment.

"Clearly, I'm dealing with morons. I'm not afraid of her, and I'll kill that damn boy myself. It doesn't bother me. Even if she shows up."

Kalawarner snorted.

"Your funeral then."

Dohnaseek rolled his eyes.

"Yeah right, he's just a human, how tough could he be?"

"He's got her protection you fucking idiot!" Kalawarner snapped. "If you want to die by that, then you go right ahead, but I'm not going to perish because of it. Seriously, you speak as if you've got this wrapped up in the bag, but you don't. You're going to fail like the rest of them that tried it with that boy, you wont be able to do it."

"Just watch me then Kalawarner! You just watch me! And the rest of you as well!"

Dohanseek was assured of himself.

He felt as if he'd be able to fight, and kill Makoto before...any intervention could happen.

Sona walked into her student council, and saw another young woman with long black hair, glasses like Sona's, but with a bigger bust size. Seeing the slightly amused look on Sona's face, the black haired woman pulled closer.

This woman was called Tsubaki Shinra, someone Sona considered a close friend to her.

"Kaichou, you seem rather, in thought. Has something happened?"

Sona ran a hand through her hair, as she walked to her desk.

"I just had an interesting conversation with Hyoudou-kun...the blonde one." Tsubaki slowly nods as Sona continues. "I also felt the presence of something inside of him. Conversing with him was rather, interesting. Hearing his thoughts on certain matters...it was something I did find myself wishing that it wasn't restricted with time."

Tsubaki raised her eyebrows as Sona sat down at her desk.

"I'm surprised Kaichou, you usually don't converse well with others."

"I concur. Though we did have a similar interest, which seemed to help. Besides, he's a bit...different to most students. Not bad...but, something about him intrigues me."

"Intrigued Kaichou?"

Sona waved Tsubaki off as she took out some papers.

"It's just a refreshing change of pace to speak to someone like him. I think I might find out a bit more about that boy."

Tsubaki cocked her head right, while seeing Sona's eyes seemingly looking a bit more happy than usual.

"I see, are you considering asking him to join your peerage?"

Sona shook her head, then paused before furrowing her brows.

"I don't know yet. From what I can tell, he isn't aware of the supernatural world. For now, I'll see a bit more about him before making any kind of decisions."

"Yes, Kaichou."

Sona looked over her papers, but she was distracted about thoughts from Makoto. She didn't know what it was, but she did find it quite...fun to speak to someone about an interest that she had, someone new, and quite...different to her, it did feel quite refreshing.

When Sunday had arrived, Ise was running around the kitchen like a headless chicken. Makoto sat at the table, watching the events transpire as Princess sat down on the table, and was being stroked by Makoto.

"Wow, he can run fast huh Princess..."

"My phone! Where the hell is my phone?!"

Ise panicked as he ran, Makoto raised his finger, pointing to the table.

"It's there. I've not seen you like this before Onii-chan."

Ise turned to Makoto as he picked up his phone.

"I'm like this because of my date! Makoto, I'm nervous! What if she thinks I'm weird?! What if I wear the wrong things?! What if I mess up!? What if I say the wrong-"

"Breathe." Ise inhaled and exhaled slowly. "Don't worry Onii-chan, you've got this. Don't think you'll mess up, just be you...maybe tone down the perverseness, unless she really likes that then...ugh! P-Point is, remember to compliment her, and make sure she's comfortable. Also, laugh at the right moment if she tells a joke, or make her laugh with a joke. Things like that, and it should be fine. She must already like you since she approached you, so just be yourself Onii-chan."

"Make her laugh with a joke...check. Being myself, I can do that~ Aaah, I bought some new clothes just for this, I hope she likes them..."

"You're going to the movies, right?" Ise nods. "Then I'm sure that you're going to have a good time with Amano-san. I'm going out today myself."

Ise became intrigued, raising an eyebrow curiously.

"Oh? With a girl?"

"No, Freed-kun."

Issei shook his head.

"Freed huh? Well, he's a little weird for my tastes in friends, whatever makes you happy I guess."

"Freed-kun might act a bit weird sometimes, but he's been really great. Anyway, good luck on your date~"

Issei thanked Makoto with a large smile.

Makoto himself, while feeling a bit off about Yuuma, truly did wish Ise the best with her, and hoped that he was just thinking too much about it, and she was naturally someone that did give off a cold look.

Ise then saw Princess giving off a slight smirk.

"S-She's doing it again."

"Doing what?"

Makoto wondered, looking at Princess who shook her paw at Makoto, who chortled lightly.

"She smirked at me!"

"Cats smile Onii-chan, it doesn't mean anything."

Ise wasn't so sure about that.

His finger darted at Princess who continued looking towards Ise.

"You weird cat, I'm seriously going to..." Princess narrowed her eyes ever so slightly, shocking Ise. "S-She's looking at me dangerously!"

"Onii-chan, she's a cat, I don't know what you've got against her."

"She's the one who's got things against me! Ever since we met, she's always been weird! I'm telling you, there's something wrong with that cat!"

Ise began turning, when he saw Princess wink at him dangerously, causing his heart to stop for a moment.

In that moment, Ise panicked, before Princess turned and snuggled against Makoto's chest.

Shaking his head, Ise walked out of the room, unable to take what she was doing.

Makoto gave him an odd look, before turning down to Princess.

"Well, seems like Onii-chan's being a bit weird huh Princess?"

"Nyaaa~ Nyaaa~"

She sang out happily, all the while Makoto gently petted the top of her head, showing a soft smile on his face.

When the time arrived for Makoto to go out, he took his bag with him, in case he was going to buy something that he wished to have and place it in there.

Leaving his house, he traversed the town towards the arcade area.

Upon entering the town centre, he went towards the arcade, and waited for Freed to show up.

He usually was the first one to get there, though he had accepted long ago that he would be the first one there.

While waiting for Freed, Makoto saw Yuuma strolling across the arcade, showing a calm expression on her face.

But, he couldn't get out of his mind that there was something off about her.

Her eyes turned towards him, and a dirty smirk began to show itself on her face.

"What the..."

However, his thoughts were interrupted when Freed popped up behind him, and placed both hands on his shoulders.

"Aah!"

Freed yelled out, but Makoto just rolled his eyes.

"You can't surprise me Freed-kun~"

Makoto's eyes went to Yuuma...but she had already gone.

Freed laughed out loud, while sticking out his tongue.

"I still have to try. So, ready to go?"

"Sure, lets go."

With that, Makoto and Freed spent the day together, having a good time as friends.

Makoto and Freed went through the arcade, and played most of the games.

"Die! Die! Die!"

Makoto watched as Freed played a gun wielding game, Makoto gave him a curious look.

"Maybe you shouldn't shout out "Die!" over and over again."

Makoto spoke quietly to Freed who paused, glancing towards Makoto.

"Eh? Why not? I want them to die."

"Yes, but people are getting worried about your...enthusiastic nature."

The blonde haired boy replied in a calm manner.

Freed shrugged, and continued on.

Shaking his head, Makoto played with a racing car type of game.

After that, they went to get something to eat, and then went towards different shops.

All in all, Makoto definitely had some fun with his friend.

Before they knew it, the day was coming close to an end, with Makoto and Freed looked at the orange sky, seeing that the sun was beginning to set as they walked through a nearby garden like area.

Freed raised his arms up into the air, and yawned.

"Damn, I'm tired."

"Me too, it was quite a long day huh."

Makoto chuckled out happily, the same could be said for Freed.

"Hey Makoto-kun, I'm sorry."

"Sorry? About what?"

Freed's hand slowly went to his hip, while Makoto gave him a curious smile.

He paused when seeing Makoto's gentle face.

"...Sorry that we didn't meet earlier."

"Hmmm? What do you mean?"

"Ooh, it's nothing~ I was just thinking that you're really cool~"

Makoto found it odd that Freed was suddenly saying these kind of things.

"Hehe, thanks, so are you~ But you're acting weirder than usual, something wrong Freed-kun?"

"Nope, nothing wrong with me~ But you know, it's alright sometimes. To not know what's happening around you."

Makoto became more confused than before.

"What do you mean Freed-kun?"

"I was thinking more about your status, as someone that's been adopted."

Makoto's face began to fall slightly.

"Oh...that. Yeah, I mean I really wish that I could find my parents...but, why are you bringing it up now?"

"I was just thinking about it, I didn't have any parents either you know? I guess that makes us similar after all~"

The way he spoke, Makoto had to wonder what Freed was trying to get at. Sometimes, he didn't understand Freed.

"I suppose so...hey, we could find our parents together? I've always wanted to ask my real parents...why they left me. If they didn't have a choice...if they loved me...or if they hated me. I don't know what I'd say if they did hate me...but I've had a good life with the Hyoudou's, I love being with Onii-chan and everyone else."

"Yeah...then if you di..." Freed paused when looking over Makoto's kind smile. "...if you didn't get to be with the Hyuoudou's, we might have never met~ Well, I'm gonna head off home. Goodbye, Makoto-kun."

That sounded...a bit off.

Though Freed was usually off, so Makoto put it up to that.

"Yeah, see you tomorrow Freed-kun."

Makoto waved, and walked off, with Freed going in the other way.

But as he did, Makoto felt something going up and down his spine.

It felt like a cold shiver.

When he looked around, he couldn't see anyone following him, but decided to pick up the pace.

Going faster and faster through the street, he suddenly noticed that the lights from the street were being blackened out one by one, in the same direction that he was going.

So he began running, feeling danger entering him.

But when he rounded a corner, he bumped into someone that knocked him back.

"Ow...sorry about that."

"Oh don't be sorry, you're who I'm looking for, Makoto."

Makoto's face dropped as he looked up.

Seeing before him, was an elder man, around his thirties wearing a long coat, and fedora.

But the most distinguishing thing about him was spreading out from behind him, were two large black bird like wings.

The man's face curled into a disturbing smile, one that Makoto thought for sure he was going to die from...

Meanwhile, a little bit before Makoto met with the man with black wings, Issei and Yuuma had a fun day together, going through the different shops, and the arcade, having stayed quite close for most of the day. Now that the day was winding down, Ise had to wonder if they were going to do anything...more on the date that couples did when they were alone together.

"S-So Yuuma-chan, I think the date went pretty well..."

Yuuma showed a bashful smile.

"Yes, you're right about that. I've never had so much fun Ise-kun~"

Ise chortled, moving towards the park together.

A large fountain was before them, Ise's eyes went towards Yuuma who kept her hands together, and saw the scrunchy that was on her wrist.

The one that he had gotten her.

He thought "She kept it on!" with a happy smile on his face.

Yuuma herself couldn't hide her smile.

"Ise-kun, you know, sometimes when you go out with someone..."

"Y-Yeah..."

Ise continued, with his breath catching in his throat, thoughts running through his mind.

"...It's just, I feel kind of silly now, how I approached you. Maybe I should have been a little more tactful in my approach."

"No, no! I don't mind it at all! I'm glad, I've never met anyone like you before Yuuma-chan!"

Yuuma giggled as they got to the fountain itself.

"This fountain, is it true that you can make a wish here?"

"Yeah, you can make a wish."

"Then Ise-kun, what's your wish?"

Ise showed a nervous smile.

"Well, my wish is..."

"You're gonna say something cheesy about me being your wish, right?"

Ise let out an awkward laugh.

"Well...eeh, I can't say my wish yet, it would be embarrassing!"

Ise couldn't speak about his harem dream, there would be no way.

"Embarrassing? Then, can I tell you my wish?" Yuuma saw Ise nod, so her hand placed on his flushing cheek. "My wish is...to have more competent underlings."

Her tone suddenly got sinister, Ise felt his body tensing as her fingers began digging into his face.

"W-What..."

"My underlings, they couldn't seduce your Otouto, so it seems that we have to just do the direct approach, stupid Dohnaseek's gone for it himself. Seriously, can't find any good help, can you?"

"Yuuma...what do you...w-why do you want Makoto?!"

Ise switched to being a defensive elder brother, demanded from Yuuma who clutched at Ise's throat with one hand, and suspended him in the air.

"What I want is for both of you to die."

Ise began to panic, and tried to get away, but Yuuma's grip was simply too strong.

He couldn't get free, as Yuuma took her spear of light, and rammed it right through Ise's stomach.

"If you want to blame anyone, then blame God for putting that Sacred Gear inside of you."

Those cold words echoed within Ise's mind.

He couldn't forget them, along with the coldness to the woman's face.

Makoto, face to face with the man before him, tried pulling away, but he simply laughed at Makoto.

"Don't run away boy, because you wont get that far."

He sneered out, while the young boy tightened his hand.

"...What are you? Those wings..."

Makoto was trying to make sense of it all.

Though the man tipped his fedora to Makoto in a faux kind manner, displaying his darker intentions with a grin on his face.

"My name is Dohnaseek...and as for what I am, that doesn't matter since you're going to be dead in a minute anyway."

Makoto wore worry on his face as he began stepping backwards faster and faster, but Dohnaseek walked forward towards him.

"S-Stay away from me! I don't know what you are, but..."

"As I said, it doesn't matter what I am, what matters is that you're going to be executed."

"But...why would you do that?"

Dohnaseek laughed.

"Why huh? I've got a few reasons as to why, but that doesn't matter to you. What does is that you're in the way, and once you're gone, then that person is surely going to become depressed, aren't they?"

Makoto had to wonder what this man was talking about.

But then he saw from his hand, light energy was gathering, forming what seemed to be a spear. The light was a blue colour, and it seemed to shimmy.

Makoto felt his heart race, the spear looked deadly.

It didn't feel real at all.

It just couldn't be real.

Then, Makoto knew it was a fight or flight situation, and with those wings, he doubted he'd get far without damaging Dohnaseek first and even then that seemed difficult considering what he was witnessing, so he rushed towards him, the only tactic that he could realistically do.

Dohnaseek laughed, and readied to throw his spear, when Makoto threw his bag at him.

"What nonsense!"

Dohnaseek sliced the bag out of the way, only to see that Makoto had gone low, sliding across the floor, and got behind Dohnaseek.

"Have this!"

Makoto raised his leg, kicking Dohnaseek in the head, and while as a human he didn't have the supernatural power others did, the kick knocked off Dohnaseek's fedora.

From the kick of Makoto's, it did make Dohnaseek feel the impact, but it didn't stop him from turning around, and swinging his arm at the young boy, who received a cut on his arm jumping backwards. The blood ran down his arm, but it wasn't unusable either. He could still move his arm around.

"Little shit..."

Dohnaseek complained, taking aim once more at the young boy, but he didn't allow the spear to be thrown, getting in close, and went to punch Dohnaseek, but the man reacted faster than Makoto could, grabbing the boy by the throat, and suspended him up in the air, strangling him, with his grip getting tighter by the second.

"L-Let go..."

Makoto tried peeling off Dohnaseek's fingers, but they seemed to be too strong for the current boy.

However, he wasn't about to give up either.

He had to think of a way out of this.

He didn't want to die for...he didn't even know why Dohnaseek wished to kill him.

But as he felt his airway being compromised, Makoto felt the red liquid from his arm dripping down.

"Well, it seems that you aren't so tough. What does she see in you anyway?" Dohnaseek raised his spear to stab Makoto. "Now boy, it's time to-" Just then, Makoto flicked his hand, and the blood went into Dohnaseek's eyes. "W-What the fuck!?"

While distracted briefly, Makoto kicked out, ending up hitting Dohnaseek's lower body, his eyes popping out while murmuring "My balls...", loosening his grip on Makoto's throat just enough for the boy to slide rout of his grasp, and while coughing, he brought up his leg, and kicked Dohnaseek's face down into the ground, who let out an annoyed cry.

By the time Dohnaseek recovered from being kicked down below, Makoto was already running away from the area.

"You little bastard! I'm going to enjoy killing you!"

Dohnaseek took off on his wings, and shot for Makoto.

Makoto, trying his best, went towards the park in the hopes that someone on the way could help him.

He couldn't see anyone out at all, he found it odd.

Though he presumed it was because of Dohnaseek somehow, after what he saw, he'd believe anything.

Dohnaseek caught up with Makoto in a matter of half a minute, and smirked as he tightened the hand on his spear of light.

"Now it's time to-"

"Die."

A mysterious voice came out from behind Dohnaseek, shocking him.

Turning around...Dohnaseek saw his worse nightmare.

"N-Not you!"

Dohnaseek tried his spear of light attack, but the figure batted it away with a single finger, destroying it instantly.

"It seems like my Makoto got away from you. Dohnaseek, your cockiness is the reason you lost him, and because of that, you're going to die."

"N-No! You can't do this to me! Please don't do this to me!"

Makoto had heard the cry, and turned to see Dohnaseek...and a figure.

He couldn't see who it was, the dimming suns rays were in his eyes.

But he felt something...oddly familiar.

He didn't know what it was...but it felt as if he had seen whoever this person was before.

While looking on, the figure grabbed Dohnaseek's throat, stopping him from attacking, then turned to Makoto.

"It's better if you leave this area. Don't worry, I'll deal with this man."

Those words, coming from a voice that sounded gentle yet strong at the same time.

Makoto didn't have to be told twice, and he quickly began running away from the area, but he had to wonder what had just happened, and who had saved his life.

But as he was running away, the white light noticed that a large barrier was forming around the place he was going, with a number of people appearing between him, and her. They all had an aura surrounding their bodies and various weapons within their hands.

Then she heard a disgusting voice call out "One way or another, it ends today." causing a rage to build up within the young woman, who shot forward, and began blasting enemies out of the sky left and right, nothing could stand in her way, besides the barrier that seemed to be rather sturdy, so she tried to teleport inside...

But to no avail.

"Damn it...Makoto..."

She grimaced, and unleashed a large amount of aura, attempting to get to Makoto before something could happen to him...

Despite not knowing what was going on, Makoto continued running through the area, but as he was, suddenly some kind of darkness shot out, and stopped him from progressing, Makoto pulled away before it could touch him.

"W-What the hell...it feels hot...yet, not at the same time...I don't..."

The darkness was wispy in its movements, as if it was dancing through the air, blocking his path, so he turned left, but that also erupted with the darkness as well.

Attempting to corner him with the darkness, Makoto wasn't going to take it, so he quickly turned left, and saw that was unoccupied by the wispy like darkness, so he rushed that way, jumping just as the darkness tried to touch him, landing on the other side, and he groaned at the feeling, but didn't stop moving, and rushed forward, as a figure followed behind him.

As he ran, he found himself entering a familiar park.

It felt as if he was being lead here for some reason.

But he didn't know what that could be for.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of something flapping.

Like wings.

But louder than wings, coming from behind him.

Turning around, he thought that it would have been that man once more...

But no, it was Yuuma Amano who had the black wings as well.

Yuuma's eyes narrowed at the sight before her.

"...You, how did you escape? It couldn't have been, her, could it?"

Makoto looked at the wings, and then towards Yuuma.

"Where is my Onii-chan?"

"He's indisposed at the moment."

Yuuma snickered, looking towards the fountain.

Horror overcame Makoto who rushed to the other side of the fountain, seeing that Ise's body was lying there, with a pool of blood around him.

"O-Onii-chan..."

Makoto wanted to scream.

But his voice failed him.

He was in too much horror right now.

"Trash, that's all he was."

Makoto's angry eyes went towards Yuuma who was giving off a small laugh.

"Shut up..."

He growled at her, Yuuma raising an eyebrow.

"Excuse me?"

"I said shut up you heartless bitch!"

Yuuma paused for a few moments, before an evil smile spread on her face.

"Heh, calling me heartless. I have a heart Makoto-kun, it's just that I don't really care about you. But...since you got away from Dohnaseek...it had to be her, didn't it? She appeared, and then you...shit, it means that I am going to...d-damn it! I knew that this would be a bad idea!"

Suddenly, it seemed like Yuuma was scared for her life, for reasons Makoto didn't know, nor did he care.

She quickly spread her wings, and shot off into the sky, leaving the boys alone.

Pushing down his thoughts about that for the moment, he ran forward towards Ise, but due his mental fatigue of the situation, he tripped and skidded across the floor.

But still, he pulled himself to his feet, and walked over to Ise on hobbling feet.

Looking down at his brother in such a state, Makoto bent down, but the feeling of his wounds ended up having him collapse onto his knees.

"O-Onii-chan, it's okay...I'm here."

His eyes looked towards Ise, and saw how bad his condition truly was.

He was bleeding so fast, that he'd be dead in a minute if he was lucky, he knew that, but still he made a futile effort by throwing off his coat, and pressing it against Ise's wound, while taking out his phone, calling for an ambulance, while looking around for anyone to give some help, but no one was around at all. He couldn't even see a car nearby.

"H-Hello...I-I need an ambulance...m-my Onii-chan was stabbed..."

It was futile, he knew that.

But if there was something he could do, then he was going to do.

While he was talking, Ise looked up at Makoto with his eyes losing their light.

"Mak...Mako...to..."

Makoto's eyes shot for Ise's, and bent down towards him.

"I-It's okay, you're going to be okay..."

"I...I'm dying...Makoto...my girlfriend...killed me..."

Makoto continued to cry, shaking side to side, and continued trying to stem the blood flow, but knew that it wouldn't be any good, that he wasn't going to last much longer.

"O-Onii-chan, I'm sorry, I felt like there was...s-something weird with her...b-but, she made you happy, and I didn't want to make you sad...I-I didn't know this was going to happen…"

Ise, with his remaining strength, placed a hand on the crying Makoto's cheek, giving off an elderly brother smile, despite the pain he felt.

"No...this isn't your fault...I'm sorry Makoto for endangering you...tell Kaa-chan...and Tou-chan...I'm sorry..."

Makoto watched as his hand slowly fell down, so he grabbed onto it, holding it to his chest.

He watched as Ise's light was being extinguished and he couldn't do a thing.

As he did, he felt something within Ise's hand.

Plying open his fingers, he saw that it was a weird design on some paper.

"What's this…?"

He didn't know what it was.

But he saw Ise's eyes flickering, while muttering "I...don't...want to...die..." over and over again, as if he was making a wish.

But then his eyes closed, and Makoto had realized something…

Ise had died.

He didn't have the energy to scream.

He didn't have the energy to do anything other than sob quietly.

Seeing his brother die before his eyes, it broke him.

It ran through his mind how he was even going to explain this to his parents, how he could even begin to explain this to the ambulance and police, even he didn't know what had truly happened. A man and woman with black wings, it just didn't make sense in normal life, and if he told people that, they'd think he was crazy...

"It seems that he died, pathetic boy."

But suddenly, a figure appeared from behind Makoto.

Turning to see it, Makoto was caught by a hand wrapping around his throat, suspending him into the air.

"W-What..."

"Shhhhh, it's alright." The cold voice rang out, Makoto's face lost its colour with the fear entering him. "I had to come out myself, just to get rid of you. We even had to sacrifice a good number of people just to kill you. Your guardian truly is trying to get here, so take comfort in that."

Makoto tried to force the hand off him, but it was simply too strong, he couldn't move it. Stronger than Dohnaseek, he tried flicking blood into this persons face, but some unknown to Makoto energy came out and took it away before it could touch him. Makoto couldn't even see his face, it was covered in that same darkness as before that was chasing him.

"W-Why...?"

Makoto demanded for an answer, but all he heard was laughing.

"If you want to blame anyone for your death, then blame the person who fell in love with you."

"W-Who fell in love..."

Makoto suddenly felt something sharp piercing his stomach.

A hot burning sensation ran through his torso, while Makoto met with the eyes that had stabbed him.

Though he couldn't see the face...he definitely could see this man's eyes, as if this man wished for this to happen.

Cold...bottomless...lacking any kind of sympathy, empathy.

It was nothing but evil.

Makoto was then tossed down to the ground, as a peace sign was sent his way.

"Haha, goodbye, Makoto-kun."

Makoto could only see the man's figure disappearing all together in a bright light, but couldn't forget that cold callous voice that was being sent his way.

Once he was gone, Makoto placed his hand to his stomach in an attempt to stem the bleeding, but it was already coming out of him faster than he could stop it.

The ground around him was being stained in the deep crimson colour.

His vision was becoming blurry, his body felt like it was on fire.

But then he felt his head being left up, his eyes meeting with another set of eyes.

He barely could see the face, but he did feel long hair tickling his skin.

Along with something that felt like rain hitting his face.

"...You came...my Angel..."

Makoto murmured, his life slowly leaving him.

"...I'm not an Angel...I'm sorry I couldn't..."

The voice sounded beautiful, and also full of regret.

Makoto's hand reached upwards, being cupped by a females soft hand and held to their face.

"...You...have been there...for so long...haven't you...? When...When I was in danger...you protected me...didn't you...? F-From...the shadows...I felt like...someone was always...there...watching over me...my own guardian Angel...protecting me..."

"In the end...I failed you...it's because of me that you're..."

She couldn't finish her sentence.

Makoto could feel the wetness falling onto him, was coming from her face.

"...Crying...for me...No, don't cry...you protected me...I lived this long...because of you...protecting me...I was there...for Onii-chan when he died...I wish...I could have...known who you were...and thanked you...for protecting me..." Tears began to come out of Makoto's eyes, as he thought about what could have been. "...I never...got to find out...who my parents were...my birth parents...if they...wanted me...or they tossed me away...I never got to...get married, and...have children...I wish I...I could have done more...but...please stay...with me...until...until I've...I don't...want to...die alone..."

The young woman bent down, and lightly kissed his forehead.

"I'll always stay with you."

She whispered, those comforting words allowed Makoto to smile, despite the pain.

"Thank you..."

His head slowly fell into the crook of her neck, and his breathing slowed.

There was nothing she could do, as he held onto her and she held onto him.

Eventually, after half a minute, he passed away within her arms.

Makoto...was dead.

The young woman didn't let out a sound, and merely cried silently, hugging him to her body.

Emotions threatened to burst from her, she wasn't usually emotional like this...

But seeing this, it was crushing for her.

However, as she was, a new light was shone on the ground, and she knew who it was.

It was...a chance.

Quickly placing Makoto on the ground, the young woman hid herself a good distance, and watched as a red headed young woman appeared due to the paper that Ise was carrying. It seemed to have been delayed by something, the woman suspected it was due to the killer of Makoto's, or some other reason that she wasn't aware of.

"...Damn it, both of them are dead...but, I sense both are rather strong...there's no way that I could resurrect both of them with my current pieces..." Her eyes went to Makoto, recalling something. "...that boy, wasn't Sona...yes, Sona, she'll reincarnate you...don't worry boys, we'll pick up your lives."

As she went to contact Sona, the woman in the shadows watched on.

Knowing what was about to happen next, if he was going to be okay...in his new life, as a Devil.

End chapter!

So yeah, here we go! This is the story that won in the poll!

The younger adoptive brother of Ise, and when I say younger, he technically is younger since his birthday is after Ise's, but he's also of a similar age to be in the same class as him. It seems that he has someone watching over him, trying to protect him. He was also seemingly killed by someone different than the Fallen Angels, and who that is shall be revealed down the line.

So yeah, as guessed by the events of the chapter with Sona for those who didn't see the poll, Makoto's gonna be taking over Saji's role in Sona's peerage, and using his Sacred Gears, which I think are pretty good and could be used quite well in conjunction. He wont start with all of them, but he will be gaining them as the story goes, perhaps even before Saji got them in canon.

Also, it seems that he's friends with Freed, why Freed and Makoto are friends, will be explored, and will lead into a plot later on as well which will help Makoto develop more and is apart of his growing story.

Also, as for Makoto's place in Sona's peerage, and I've been thinking about the position he could fill. I was thinking either seven Pawns, a mutated Rook piece, or be all eight Pawns, and have Ruruko be the Rook, or perhaps have Makoto be Sona's Queen, and have Tsubaki be a Pawn worth, three to four pieces. As for Sona's other peerage members, I am thinking of adding and detracting certain people like Reya so if you have any suggestions, always welcome.

Of course, this is also going to be a harem, naturally, so suggestions are always welcome with some already set in stone.

So yeah, until next time, thanks for reading!

Makoto; Sona, Koneko,

Issei; Rias,
