Hello Highschool DxD fans, my name is Grey-Senpai, but please call me Grey for short.
This is my first take at a Highschool DxD story, so...yeah it might turn out to be good or it might turn out to be horrible in it's own way.
I know the canon for the anime, but not so well for the LN. So I'll try my best to suite your needs, also I know alot of questions are gonna be about Issei's love interest or his potential harem. My answer right now is, I don't actually know what am actually planning for his love life to turn out to be. But don't worry I'll figure it out eventually.
In this story Issei will be emotionless and maybe a mute (or probably just doesn't want to talk), and you fans might think of this a little to much Oc, but you know what? I say hell to it, let's try it out for once and kick some supernatural ass. ㄟ( ̄▽ ̄ㄟ). Issei will have Sacred Gear, but you'll found out eventually which one in this chapter. Also Issei will have a Ultimate Being inside of him, and when I mean 'Ultimate Being'. I mean that this person can destroy anybody in the DxD universe, and I mean all of them at once and come out not with a single scratch on him/her after the aftermath. I know, I know, a little to OP. But don't worry Issei will have full control over it, the Ultimate Being is just a spirit trap inside Issei's body. ↖(").
So without further adue, let's get this story on to the Fanfiction website.
Disclaimer: The Highschool DxD franchise belongs to Ichiei Ishibumi.
Claimer: The Plot of this fan-fiction story belongs to me, and its Oc characters.
Sorry for any grammar mistakes or misspelled words, I think those two are the same, but aaaa whatever.('';).

...∷ Line Break ∷...
The air was warm. Little crackles pop into the silent night, from the burnt wood. Sirens could be heard off into the distance. But a lone figure sat on top of his knees near a burnt down house. The figure couldn't be no more than 6 years old, his hair was brown just like his eyes. Blood flowing down his innocent face and neck, he sat there looking off into the ashes from his house. The boy's eyes showed no sign of emotions or life, just a endless void look in them.
The boy breathing was the only noise coming from him, as he sat there. The boy had just witnessed his parents demise, but he didn't comment on it at all, not even cried from it. The sirens got closer to his destination, causing the boy to look over towards their direction. The boy stood up and began walking away from his home, and while he walked away he didn't even glance back at it. Leaving it in the past...that was Issei's plan...from the start.
...∷ Line Break ∷...
Issei looked back at the quiet little town, as he stood near the edge of the town. As he looked on, Issei didn't notice the holy presence in back of him appear. He turned around to find one of the most beautiful women any man or woman has ever seen. She was near 5"9 to 5"10ft. But her voluptuous figure was the best part of her. Her blonde curly hair flowed through the wind as her blue eyes were staring right at him, with a sad smile plastered on her face.
"Hello my child" her angelic voice spoke out. "I'm truly sorry for what my fallen brothers and sisters have done to you, young one".
"..." Issei just stared at her with an emotionless expression, not uttering a single word. The Angel was taken back a little before regaining her composure.
"Now my child, my name is Gabriel. I am a Angel Seraph from the Bible. But knowing that you're Japanese, you probably don't really know about are religion group?" Gabriel asked, earning a curt nod from Issei.
Gabriel smiled lightly at Issei. "But before I tell you about our race, will you accept my offer?". Issei nodded his head slowly. "Great, so this is my offer. I would like for you to join our side, the Angel's side to be exact. You will be reincarnated into an Angel, and I will look over you and care for you until the day you feel like you can stand up on your own two feet. So what do you say then my child?" Gabriel said afterwards, looking at Issei hoping the boy would accept her offer.
"..." Issei thought for a moment, even though he's emotionless and a mute, he still thought about the offer. But came to terms with the positive outcomes of joining the Angel fraction. Looking once more straight into Gabriel's eyes, he gave her a nod. This caused Gabriel to smile brightly at Issei.
"Splendid! Now take my hand child, and let us be off" Gabriel extended her hand out towards Issei, who grabbed it softly. Gabriel pulled him into a loving embrace, before a magic cross appeared in back of them. Engulfing them into a bright light.
...∷ Line Break ∷...
A few seconds later Issei finds himself in a giant golden, white hallway. Issei gets out of Gabriel's hold, and looks around the hallway, noticing two giant white double doors on each side of the hallway. Gabriel watched Issei's movements, as he looked around in fascination or wonderment, but then again she couldn't tell by his expression.
Suddenly she heard one of the double doors open, revealing her older brother Michael. Who was a 6"1ft and handsome man, who gave out a calm, peaceful aura. His blonde hair reached his shoulder and his green eyes spotted the two. Michael looked at Issei and gave a sad smile, knowing what had just happened to boy.
"So this is the boy you took in?" Michael asked as he turned his attention to Gabriel.
"Yes, this is the one" Gabriel replied shortly, "Poor child was out of the town's edge, ready to leave".
"Well, it's a good thing that you picked him up before he could do anything rash. What's his name?" Michael said, smiling at his sister.
"His name is Issei Hyoudou" Gabriel said glancing at the boy. "I also sensed a powerful aura inside of him possibly one of the 13 Longinus, but I'm not to sure yet, so that's all I know for now" Gabriel added in.
Michael raised his eyebrows in surprise, from his sister's information. He glanced at Issei, who was now sitting crisscross on the floor looking forward impassively. "Hmmmm, is that so? Then whatever he has inside of him will eventually reveal itself to us once he is reincarnated into an Angel".
Gabriel looked at Issei for awhile, before turning her gaze at her brother. "Michael?".
"Yes?".
"Will it be alright if I was the one to reincarnate Issei into one of my Brave Saints?" Gabriel asked.
Michael looked at her for a moment, before smiling softly at her. "Of course my dear sister. It's only fair if you were the one to do it".
Gabriel smiled at her brother's choice, and stood right in front of Issei. "My dear child, would you allow me to reincarnate you into one of my Bave Saints?".
Issei stared up at the Angel for a minute, before slowly nodding his head in acceptance. Gabriel smiled once more, before pulling out a deck of cards from her magic cross. She began looking through the cards, trying to decide which one would be right for the boy. Until one caught her eye, it was her joker card.
It had a whitish glow coming off from it. Gabriel had to take a guess that this was the card for the boy. She pulled it out and slowly began placing it onto Issei's chest. Right as it made contact with Issei, the card shined brightly for a minute, startling the two Seraphs, causing them to cover their eyes. As the brightness died down, the two Seraphs were surprised from the aftermath.
Instead of the same brown haired Issei, sat a dark silver haired Issei. He's eyes also change into a Roman silver color. His hairstyle was still the same when he first got here, but other than that Issei's appearance had change, there was no more dried up blood stains on his body. Gabriel and Michael looked shocked for a moment, but quickly regained their composure.
"He does indeed have a unique Sacred Gear inside of him to cause this transformation. But what could it be?" Michael said to himself.
*Flap*
[*Yawnnnnnnn* Huh? Oh would you look here, it seems I found myself a new host, and a child to be exact] a deep voice said. As two giant dragonic light blue, see through wings unfurled out of Issei's back.
""Albion?"" The two Seraphs said, surprised by the fact that the White Dragon Emperor was inside the boy all along.
[Oh well, if it isn't Michael and Gabriel. What do I owe the pleasure of meeting two of God's most powerful Seraphs?] Albion said in a slight sarcastic way.
"So your the one residing inside of Issei's body? Very interesting..." Michael started muttering to himself.
"I don't get it though, why didn't Issei's hair change into a lighter color? You are called the White Dragon Emperor, so how come his hair and eyes are now gray?" Gabriel stated out, catching both the males attention.
[Hmmmm?... I've been wondering that too. I have absolutely no idea what to make of this, maybe the boy doesn't look good in white?] Albion said aloud.
"Really? That's your assumption?" Gabriel said unamused with the Dragon's little joke.
[Hey! I was just saying what I assumed. I have no clue why the boy's appearance doesn't resemble me] Albion retorted back.
"Now, now, now there's no need for violence you two. We can worry about that later, for now sister let us rejoice for the fact that we have the White Dragon Emperor on the Angel's side" Michael intervened.
[Kukukuku. On your side? This boy is quite the rebellious one I'll say, I share his dreams, his nightmares, and his mind after all] Albion stated once more.
"What do you mean? Rebellious? He just allowed me to reincarnate him onto are side, without any restraints" Gabriel said, "How can that be considered rebellious?".
[Kukukukukuku, then that means he must have accepted your offer to wipe away his sins] Albion said smugly.
"Huh?! Sins?" Gabriel sputtered out. Not believing the Dragon, as she looked at Issei for the truth.
"What do you mean Albion? Did something else happen to Issei that we don't know of?" Michael stepped in, as he glanced at Issei also.
[Of course something else happen to the boy, don't you wonder why he is emotionless in the first place. He might even be more emotionless than Ophis, if I remember correctly] Ablion said as he tried to remember.
"Waitwaitwait! So that means he has committed a sin!?" Gabriel asked, as she looked at Ablion's wings.
[Yes, but it isn't in my power to reveal what he did. That is up to him to decide on] Albion retorted back.
"Well I guess you're right on that, then I will wait for him to open up to me more, to find out what he did" Gabriel proclaimed.
[Of course! But there is another power that is also inside of him, that surpasses my power, yours, Michael's, Ddraig's, 666's, Shiva's, Ophis' and Great Red's all combined! He is the most powerful Hakuryuukou to exist, not even my future partners will be as strong as he is. I take great pride in my partners achievements, and even though he hasn't accomplished anything yet, just the fact that his power is overwhelming at such a yound age. Already boosts my ego and pride as a Heavenly Dragon] Ablion said in a prideful tone.
"That can't be true, how can Issei hold that much power and not go insane from it?" Michael questioned.
Gabriel thought the same as her brother did. She looked back and forth between Issei and Ablion's wings. 'Even though I reincarnated Issei, I still haven't seen his Angel form yet...'.
"Issei, dear?" Gabriel called out, catching the boy's attention. "Could you be a sweetie and show me your Angel form?"
Issei tilted his hear in confusion. "Just concentrate on your holy aura inside of you". Issei tilted his head more in confusion. "*Sigh* Basically think of something holy, for example a cross or bible I guess".
[Kukukukuku, you're really a bad explainer. You know that Gabriel?] Ablion snorted, causing Gabriel to form a tick mark on her head, but keep her calm facade.
Issei blinked his eyes twice, before closing them. For a few seconds nothing exciting happened, until a small halo started appearing on top of Issei's head. But Gabriel noticed the gray color inside of the halo.
*Flap*
"My God!" Gabriel said in surprised. "Why are his wings gray and not white!? Especially his halo on top of his head!?".
Issei stood there with his gray halo and wings out.
"Oh my... Now that was unexpected" Michael added.
[Kukukukuku, I haven't laughed like this in forever. Just to let you know, this isn't my doing. There's a third party involved in all of this, and that third party is residing inside of this boy] Albion explained.
"A-a-a-another being inside of Issei!?" Gabriel stuttered out.
[Of course Gabriel, but that's all am saying for now. I don't want others to find out about my partner's unusual gift] Albion stated.
"But why? How come you don't want people to find out?" Gabriel asked.
[Because Baka, my partner is still a 6 year old boy, he doesn't have the strength to use us effectively. Other powerful beings will seek him out and kill him, before he could even get stronger to defend himself. They will be afraid of him Gabriel, his power level is over 9,000! Kukukuku, and they should be afraid of us. The whole world should] Albion finished, before retracting his wings back into Issei's little body.
"..." Gabriel stood there speechless, unable to warp her head around the situation. 'Albion is right, if others find out about Issei's power, they will try to take him out before he could even train himself. But don't you worry my Issei, I won't let anything happen to you, while you're in my care and the Angel's care also'.
Gabriel was pulled out from her thoughts, as she felt a tug on her robes. Looking down to find young Issei rubbing his eyes in tiredness. Even though his emotion was lacking the feel. "You tried my Issei?". Issei nodded his head, making Gabriel smile softly at the boy. "You can sleep with me for now on, grab my hand Issei".
Issei's little hand reached out for Gabriel's, and slowly grabbed hold of hers. "Michael?".
"Uhhuh? Yes Gabriel?" Michael snapped out of his thoughts.
"I'm gonna go to bed with Issei alright. Will continue with this situation later, okay?" Gabriel said.
"Yes, we shall continue this for a later time, goodnight dear sister, and goodnight to you Issei" Michael bid them farewell, as he went the opposite way from Gabriel's destination.
"Alrighty then, let us get some sleep my little Angel" Gabriel said, as she lead Issei to her chambers. As they entered her room, Gabriel began changing into her nightgown, which of course was a plain white gown nothing perverted at all!
As she laid down in bed with Issei, who was already asleep. She began to think about the upcoming future for her and Issei's, but quickly stored them away in the back of her head. She looked at Issei's sleeping form and smiled warmly, she unfurled her 12 pure white wings and warped them around herself and Issei's body. She placed her forehead against Issei's and began drifting off to sleep.
...∷ Line Break ∷...
Issei woke up early in the morning and began to move, until he noticed he was in Gabriel's arms and wrapped into her wings. Issei slowly slithered out of her grip and wings, making sure not to wake up the nice Angel lady, who Issei thinks of her as. As he walked out the room, he began to explore whatever that may be.
As he walked down the long white corridors, he began to hear voices up ahead of him, alot of voices to be exact. Even though Issei couldn't express any kind of emotion or feelings, he still had the child side of him. Causing him to discover the source of the voices, as he got closer the voices began getting louder by the second.
Eventually Issei arrived at the source and opened the giant double doors slightly to peek in, and saw what looked like a cafeteria of some sort with Angels all around, eating, drinking, conversing and laughing with each other. Issei continued to watch the Angels enjoy their breakfast.
Until he accidentally slipped causing the giant door to open wide, and reveal the emotionless boy. Every Angel stopped whatever they were doing, and stared at the boy, who was laying on his stomach. Nobody didn't say a word at all, only the breathing from everybody inside the room was heard.
Issei stood up and began wiping himself off, not caring that all eyes where on him at the moment. Issei looked around impassively, trying to find something that might of interested him, but nothing did. All the Angels didn't know what to do, they weren't expecting a child that they didn't know about to walk right in.
Then Issei did something they weren't expecting, he sat down on the steps and hugged his knees calmly, as he watched the Angels stare at him.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Kyaaaaa!" All the female Angels screamed out, loving the boy's adorableness. They all began to surround Issei, saying how cute his is, and how innocent he looked, etc, ect.
While the male Angels were thinking, 'Who in God's name was this child?'
"What's going on here?" Michael asked curiously wanting to know what was going on. All the Angels bowed at Michael's entrance, showing their up most respect.
"Sorry sir for us causing such a racket, we just couldn't help are selves when we saw this little boy right here" a female Angel spoke, causing Michael to raise a eyebrow.
"Boy?" Michael spotted Issei right in the middle of the female Angels, causing him to laugh softly. "Oh...you mean Issei Hyoudou, are newest addition to the Angel fraction".
"Ehhh!?" Everybody said out loud, not believing the revelation of their newest member. "How? When? And Why?" where being asked from left to right.
"I'll be the one to explain this situation" Gabriel spoke out, causing everyone inside the room, except Issei and Michael to look surprised from her sudden appearance. "This boy right here is under my protection, as he is one of my new Brave Saints".
Everybody was shocked once more, finally knowing the boy's position in Heaven. Being part of as one of Gabriel's Brave Saints, it was known that Gabriel only had one other Brave Saint. Who was her Queen, Griselda Quarta. But now Gabriel had two Brave Saints, but the real question was. What card did he take?.
"Issei is Gabriel's Joker my brothers and sisters" Michael stated, earning a shocked expressions from everybody.
All the Angels turned their attention back to Issei, who was now sitting down crisscross. 'The Joker card!? He must be pretty strong then'. Was all they thought.
"Well, well, well, looks like am not the only Joker here anymore" A voice said lazily, from behind Gabriel. Everybody turned their attention to the well known voice. Dulio Gesualdo, Michael's Joker. His hair was blonde, and he had green eyes. He stood around 6"1ft, and he was wearing his usually priest outfit.
Dulio smiled lazily at Issei, who returned with a impassive stare. "I like this kid Gabriel, he's a keeper" Dulio said as he wiggled his eyebrows, only to be slapped on the back of his head.
"Dulio I would be happy if didn't make fun of my King" a feminine voice said aloud, as she stepped on out to reveal herself. She was in her late 20's standing at 5"11ft, and she also wore a nun outfit with the cap that covered her blonde hair, except her front and side bangs. Her blue eyes narrowed at Dulio.
Dulio smiled sheepishly, as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Sorry Griselda, I was just playing around you know".
"That doesn't mean you should do it in the first place, need I remind you of what happened last time when you played around with me?" Griselda said as she smiled, but gave off a eerie feeling.
Dulio shuddered from the smile, not wanting to go through that torture again. "I got it, I got it. No need for hostility".
Everybody sweatdropped at the two antics, of except of course Issei. Griselda looked away from Dulio and spotted her fellow Brave Saint.
"Hello there Issei Hyoudou, it's nice to finally meet a fellow comrade" Griselda said politely as she bowed down for a second.
To which Issei nodded his head, causing Griselda to notice his lack of words, but decided to wait for later.
"Griselda, Issei. We have work to do, brothers, sisters I bid you farewell" Gabriel said as dismissed herself, with her two Brave Hearts in tow. They walked down the hall in silence, arriving at Gabriel's own personal training room. As Griselda and Issei entered, Gabriel locked the door behind her. "Griselda?"
Griselda turned towards her King quickly, "Yes Gabriel?".
"I can trust you with anything...right?" Gabriel asked.
"Of course Gabriel, you can trust me with anything. Even your life" Griselda said without hesitation.
Gabriel smiled at Griselda warmly, causing her Queen to smile also. "That's what I like to hear. Then I will tell you a little secret".
"Are you sure Gabriel? You don't have to if you don't want to" Griselda said.
"Oh but I have to Griselda, it has to do with your fellow Brave Heart here" Gabriel motioned towards Issei.
Griselda glanced the child for a second, 'What kind of secret would this child have, that only Gabriel will tell me?'.
"If it's that important am all ears" Griselda said, making her King smile.
"Issei could you be a dear and reveal your powers again?" Gabriel asked.
To which Issei compiled with, after a few seconds Issei's pair of Angel wings popped out from his back along with his halo. Griselda stepped back for a moment, surprised from the fact that the boy's wings and halo were gray, instead of white as the natural color for Angels.
"W-w-w-Why?-" Griselda was cut off, when she heard another pair of wings plopped out from his back. This time they were light blue and see through, they also looked like dragon wings. She knew what Sacred Gear Issei had inside of him now. "The Hakuryuukou!?".
[Kukukuku, I'll never stop loving that same reaction] Albion snickered.
"I-I-I can't believe it!? You recruited the current Hakuryuukou in this generation!?" Griselda exclaimed, losing her cool.
"Well it's complicated you see" Gabriel laughed nervously at the end.
Griselda grabbed hold of Gabriel's shoulders, and pulled her close to her face. "How? When? And why?".
"This is gonna be a long story, so I would advise you to sit down" Gabriel said.
Griselda did just that and got ready for the explanation.
...∷ Line Break ∷...
Griselda sat there in her spot, mouth open wide. She was speechless from the story Gabriel had told her. The tortures, the tears, the blood, the killings, and the fire... Griselda closed her mouth and looked at Issei, who still was in Angel form and had his Sacred Gear out. His expression never changed throughout the story, not even the details of what happen to his parents had made him cringe or shed any single tears.
'This boy doesn't care anymore about this world, he sees the world as a object that he doesn't need to care about. That he could just throw away like nothing' Griselda thought to herself.
"This is the reason why I had decided to take him in" Gabriel proclaimed, "I will protect him from any kind of danger or situation. Until the day he can learn to fight for himself!".
Griselda looked at Gabriel in astonishment, "That's a big vow you just made, but you know what? I will help you, Gabriel. So that Issei can become stronger in the near future".
"Thank you very much, Griselda. It means alot to me, I really mean it" Gabriel happily said.
[*Cough* *Cough* I know this is all heartwarming and stuff, but you two do realize that there's someone outside the room trying to listen to us?] Ablion questioned.
The two Angel's eyes opened wide, quickly they wnet for the door and opened it to find a 5 year old girl, looking up at them. Her hair was blonde and was styled in two short twintails, as her clueless blue eyes stared up at them in curiosity. "Hello there big sister Gabriel and big sister Griselda!" the little girl cried out.
"Oh? It's just you Mittelt. How are you doing today?" Gabriel said in relief.
"I'm doing great big sis" Mittelt exclaimed happily.
"Why are you here Mittelt? Is something the matter?" Griselda asked, curious on why the little Angel was eavesdropping on them.
"W-well it's because I heard there was a new kid in Heaven. And I wanted to play with him" Mittelt said innocently.
"Hmmmm? Is that so?" Gabriel said to herself, she looked over her shoulder at Issei, who was laying on his back sprawled out. Gabriel sweatdropped at the scene, and turned her attention back towards Mittelt. "You want to meet him?"
Mittelt's eyes light up at Gabriel question, "I would love to please!", Griselda looked at Gabriel in shock.
"He's right there laying down" Gabriel stepped out of the way for Mittelt to see Issei.
"Thank you, big sis!" Mittelt shouted, as she made her way towards Issei.
Gabriel smiled at Mittelt, until she was pulled outside the room by Griselda. "What are you thinking!? Why did you let Mittelt in!?" Griselda whispered loudly.
"Because Griselda, it would help Issei's social skills develop better, if he is around children he's age. We don't want Issei to grow up to be a awkward teenager, now would we?" Gabriel whispered back. "And besides, he needs all the love and friendship he needs to stay sane".
Griselda looked into Gabriel's eyes for a second, before letting out a deep sigh. "I guess your right on that".
They both heard laughter coming from the room, and saw Mittelt hugging the emotionless boy against her chest, as she snuggled him, like a teddy bear. "Issei-kun you're so snuggly!".
""Issei-kun?..."" The two Angels said together, before realizing that the Japanese had honorifics in their country. ""How did we forget about that?"".
...∷ Line Break ∷...
It had been 5 months since Issei's announcement. Since then Issei had began training his physical shape, with the basics of course. Even though he was no longer a human, Issei was still 6 years old physically. So Issei's training consisted of running/jogging, sit ups and push ups. This helped him greatly with his stamina, as it boosted his speed up by a good chunk of a portion.
"Issei-kunnnnn!" Mittelt shouted out, jumping onto Issei's back. Issei didn't staggered after the sudden attack, he just kept on walking like nothing ever happened. "Your soooo cool! Issei-kun!".
Mittelt's birthday had past 2 months ago, so she was the same age as Issei now. Which made her more happy to know that she was also the same age as her friend, even though Issei couldn't show emotions or feelings he still cared for those who were there for him.
"Issei-kun? Mittelt? You two there?" Griselda called out.
"Yeah big sis where in here!" Mittelt shouted back.
"I've been looking everywhere for you Issei-kun, Mittelt was he behaving right?" Griselda asked.
"Of course not big sis! Issei doesn't do bad things at all" Mittelt defended, "Why would you think that?"
Griselda smiled at Mittelt playfully, "I'm playing around my child, of course Issei isn't capable of acting like that. He only dislikes people, who he doesn't trust or who are suspicious in his view".
"Yeah you're right big sis! Hahahaha" Mittelt giggled, as Griselda rubbed her head.
...∷ Line Break ∷...
That was 4 years ago though. Issei vaguely remembered the stuff that happened in between those 4 years. And now that he was 10 years old; he had grown quite alot now standing 5"1ft, but he also didn't have anyone to call a friend. And why you say? Well the only true friend Issei had remembered was his first friend from Heaven, Mittelt, who had...how do you say it? Turned towards more sinister intentions, causing her to fall from grace at the age of 6. Which was why he only remembered that certain happiness, because right after that, Issei was trained in a more exclusive area for a 3 week. To achieve his understanding of his Sacred Gear, learning the history between the two Heavenly Dragons. He also learned more about Albion in the process.
But during that week, Mittelt had became lonely without Issei's presence? So she decided to sneak out the Gates to Heaven, and ironically had met some Fallen Angels. Who were the reason why Mittelt had join the Fallen, their foul lies and manipulations had caused poor 6 year old, Mittelt to go rogue.
And when Issei came back from his meditation, he didn't find himself tackled to the ground by a overly happy Mittelt. No, he found himself being told of what had happen to his friend, from Gabriel herself. Issei couldn't believe something like this, could happen over in just 3 weeks.
But his emotionless and lack of voice kept him from showing angry, worrisome, sadness, depression and betrayal. Albion was the only one Issei could trust, knowing the Dragon would look out for him. He spent his time inside his room, sitting in a recliner and looking off into the ceiling.
Albion spoke to the boy, trying his best to make sure Issei was pulling through his so called 'Depression'. Issei knew he couldn't feel the feelings that he was suppose to be feeling. The reason he locked himself inside the room, was to question himself on why he was like this in the first place.
"Issei-kun?" a feminine voice said cautiously. Issei looked away from the starry sky on the balcony, to find Gabriel looking at him. "How are you feeling today Issei-kun?".
Issei shrugged his shoulders lazily, earning a soft scowl from Gabriel. She quickly changed her scowl back into a smile, she made her way over to Issei's side. Gabriel leaned against the balcony rail to gaze at the stars, Issei did the same as Gabriel. They stood there for a good minute looking at the stars, until Gabriel cleared her throat.
"Um? Issei-kun?" Gabriel whispered, as she peeked a glance at Issei. "How are you doing? Are you feeling well?".
Issei shrugged his shoulders lazily, not really caring about the question being asked. He just stood there looking off impassively at the sky.
"*Sigh* Issei, I was thinking. Maybe it would be best for you to go to a public school. Just to make friends and get out more" Gabriel offered, "I know how intelligent you are, but your social skills are lacking. I'm worried for you, Issei-kun!".
Issei looked away from the sky, and looked at Gabriel with his cold eyes. He saw the worrying, and sadness in her eyes. Issei knew that Gabriel would ruin her beauty with such stress being piled on top of her. Issei grabbed her hand softly to which Gabriel accepted, and he began rubbing her hand with his other to comfort her.
Gabriel smiled at him in appreciation, "Thank you Issei-kun for comforting me. So will you please accept my offer?".
Issei nodded his head, before letting go of Gabriel's hand. He walked back inside and sat down on the right side of his bed. Gabriel followed behind Issei, sitting on the left side of the bed. "You must be thinking about her, huh? But then again you could be thinking about other stuff? You were always the one nobody couldn't read".
Issei leaned back against his elbows, as he listened to Gabriel talk. "Hahaha, your cold calculating Roman silvery eyes will always make me shiver, whenever you look at me in the eyes". Gabriel chuckled lightly, before looking back at Issei's backside.
"You always had that expression, 'I don't care what happens' look on your face" Gabriel continued on, "Issei this is the reason why I want you to go to a school. So you could try to understand other's feelings".
Issei continued to listen to Gabriel's feelings, as far as he can tell Gabriel wanted what was best for him. Issei turned around and touched Gabriel's left shoulder, catching her attention. Issei nodded his head at her offer, which brought Gabriel's spirits up.
"I'm glad you agree Issei. I hope this helps you open up more. You'll be studying over at America for 3 years, then you will be studying over in Europe for another 2 years". Gabriel explained, earning a nod from Issei.
"Great! Tomorrow you'll be leaving then. I really do hope this helps you Issei" Gabriel said once more, before getting up and walking towards the doors. As she was about to leave, she turned around and smiled briefly at Issei, before walking out the room.

*Screeeeeeeeech zoooooom*
The sound of planes flying over the airport rang into 15 year old, Issei Hyoudou's ear. He had just stepped out of the airport's main terminal, over the 5 years Issei had grew to 5"12ft. He still kept his usually hairstyle from when he was 6, his face had aged into a more matured look. But all in all he was still the same mute and emotionless teenager.
He was looking around for his ride that he was promised. As he looked around the busy pickup area, he spotted a woman in a formal suit holding a sign with his name on it next to a blacked out SUV.
Issei made his way over to the woman, who had spotted him automatically. "You must be Issei?" the woman said,to which Issei nodded his head. "Alright then, my name is Oracle. It's nice to meet you Issei-kun". Oracle bowed respectively, as Issei did the same.
"Okay then, let's get you to your house now, shall we?" Oracle said, as she opened the the backdoor letting Issei in. Oracle got right in after Issei, before shutting the door. "Alrighty then, driver can you please take us to Issei's new home".
"Yes Ma'am" The Driver answered back, before driving off.
"Well Issei, welcome back to Kuoh Town. Does it feel weird at all to be coming back here, after all these years?" Oracle asked. Issei just shook his head. "Hmmm? Well any Gabriel had informed me that there were two High-class Devils in Kuoh Town. Her orders are to leave them be, and be the representative for the Angel fraction".
Issei nodded once more, accepting the terms. "You'll be enrolling into Kuoh Academy, as 2 year student. I was also informed that the Academy had recently turned from a all private girl school to a co-ed school, so the ratio of girls over boys is quite high" Oracle informed Issei.
Issei looked outside the SUV's window not paying attention to Oracle's briefing one bit. "*Sigh* I guess that doesn't interest you, huh?" Oracle muttered.
The rest of the ride was pure silence, after 20 minutes they finally arrived at Issei's house. Issei saw the new home, and quickly realized that it was in the same spot where his old home burned down. Issei got out the SUV, and made his way towards the front door.
"Hey Issei-kun! Catch!" Oracle called out catching Issei's attention, before throwing him a set of keys at him. Issei caught them with ease. "Will be leaving then Issei-kun, but don't worry all your stuff is inside the house. Ciao!". The black SUV drove away leaving Issei with his new home.
Issei turned towards the door once again, and inserted the key into the keyhole. He turned the key and unlocked the door, opening it in the process. As he entered he noticed all the boxes piled up in the front entrance, which contained all of his personal belongings.
[*Yawnnnnnnn* Our we there yet? Oh...we are] Albion chuckled afterwards for his own mistake. [You know partner this is quite the little cozy home you got here, Kukukuku].
Issei ignored the Dragon's chuckle, and started unpacking his boxes.
...∷ Line Break ∷...
5 hours later, Issei had finished unpacking all of his boxes. He looked at the clock in his room, and noticed that it was 3:24pm. The day was still young, so Issei decided to take a walk around his old neighbor. He went to his wardrobe, and decided to put on some dark blue jeans, a black button up shirt, and some black shoes.
He walked around the neighborhood, and noticed that it hasn't change much as he remembered. And that was 9 years ago. Issei arrived at the park, and saw little children running around and having fun with one another. Issei decided to sit down and enjoy the peace and quiet for once.
The gentle wind blew against Issei's gray hair, as he shut his eyes enjoying the soft breezy air go through his hair. Issei opened them for halfway, and thought about the supernatural beings in the town. He could sense the two High-class Devils at the Academy, and also the Fallen Angels at the abandoned church.
But he could care less about them, right now was his time to relax for once. He started thinking about his time over in America and Europe. He had made a name for himself in the supernatural world, The Gray Eyed Demon, Angel's Satan, The Gray Joker, The Silent One, Heaven's 2nd Trump Card, Oblivion Walker, The Holy Child, Samuel's Executioner, and The Annihilator of The Supernatural.
Yup, those where some pretty impressive nicknames he had got himself, but of course they all came from all the jobs, missions he was sent on. Some were to be proud of, but others were to be ashamed of being called. Though Issei didn't care about what other's had thought about his legacy.
"Yo, Angel's Satan! How's it going?" a voice called, catching Issei's attention. There stood tall man in his mid-twenties, he had black with golden bangs in the front and a black goatee. He was wearing a black kimono to top it off. "I would have never thought that I would be meeting the infamous Hakuryuukou". The man sat down right next to Issei.
"Sup! The names Azazel, but I'm guessing you already know that?" Azazel introduced himself, Issei nodded his head conforming Azazel's theory. "Hahaha! Should of guessed by now, you must've picked up my aura, huh?".
Azazel chuckled at his words, "So how's the short vacation from the supernatural world treating you?". Issei shrugged bluntly. "Being a mute really suites you, I can't imagine you being a super pervert like, who likes big breasted women. But sometimes I feel like you can really pull it off, butttttt I don't know maybe not".
Issei and Azazel sat there for a couple of minutes, before Azazel opened his mouth once more. "I know there is some of my subordinates here in this town, and they're plotting something behind my back without my knowledge. So as favor, if you ever come into contact with them, would you kindly send one of them to me so I could interrogate him/her?".
Issei gave a curt nod, "Appreciate it Issei" Azazel said, as he got up from the bench. He started walking away, until he turned around. "Oh and one more thing, good look luck at school". Azazel carried on waving as he left.
...∷ Line Break ∷...
Issei arrived back at his house at 6:35pm. He began walking upstairs to his room, and started changing out of his clothes into something more comfortable. After doing so, Issei went into the kitchen and made himself spaghetti and meatballs.
*Flap*
Albino's popped out of Issei's back, [You gotten better at cooking partner, this will easily impress women. Kukukuku. But enough joking around, tomorrow is the first day of school for you] Albion said, to which Issei ignored.
[You know partner, you're gonna probably be the youngest in your class. Everybody else is gonna be 16 through 17 years of age, while you're still 15 years old. But that's not the only thing, you were chosen to represent the Angels because this was your original hometown] Albion stated out, while Issei continued to listen to the Dragon's ranting.
[So partner? How will you handle the Devils in the school?] Albion asked, as Issei was eating his spaghetti.
「I won't provoke them...unless they try something funny」 Issei low deep voice answered back, his voiced even sent shivers down Albion's imaginary spine. Issei's voice was never heard from anybody else, expect Albion. His voice was like a void that was cold and cruel, while being emotionless at the same time. 「Anyways Albion, you know already what I'm capable of doing to them」.
[Kukukukukukuk! Of course partner, you can kill them all off without any trouble, and even destroy the Devil fraction with ease. And you have 'him' to thank] Albion bragged.
「Yeah...'him'...」 Issei said slowly, as he thought about 'him'.
[Well anyways I think it's time for you to go to sleep now, partner. We got a big day tomorrow, Kukukukuku] Albion chuckled.
Issei cleaned the dishes, before heading to bed. After getting ready he laid on his back, as he looked at the ceiling. Before shutting his eyes and drifting off to sleep.
