From the Outside

A/N: Greetings all! Thank you everyone for reading my first ever attempt at a FanFic. Major credit to Dis Lexic (check his stuff out, seriously it's both moving and inspiring) for letting me hijack- er, i mean borrow his concept from Outsider Chronicles and put my own spin on it. This is a self-insert of sorts (it's me and it's not) with the main story being one of my favorites, High School DxD. note: some minor crossover elements but the main focus is the DxD universe and storyline. This fic will be kept up as often as possible (or until nobody likes it) and will continue through to the latest episodes of DxD BorN (so basically, Spoiler Alert in advance).

now that I've wasted chapter one on all of that, on to the fic!

Regular Text is narration/action (Issei walks)

"bold text is conversation" ("hey douchenozzle!")

'italic text is thoughts' ('does this guy ever shut up?')

Bold Italic is Sacred Gear thought/conversation or onomatopoeia based on context

i am not fortunate enough to own DxD. (T^T)

"Maybe he's really dead this time?"

*poke poke poke*

"No way! See? He's still breathing."

"WILL YOU IDIOTS KNOCK IT OFF? I'm trying to sleep dammit.." That's me, the lanky looking guy with fair skin green eyes and the saucy red hair gelled up like a shark fin who so happens to be yelling at Matsuda and Motohama again for waking me up between classes. Why should I even pay attention, I never enjoyed social studies anyway. I should introduce myself, the name is Tokumatsu Kumonji, though my friends all call me 'Cloud' for the 'Kumo-' in 'Kumonji.' Im a 2nd year student here at Kuoh Academy, formerly an all-girls school that decided to open its doors to young men for the first time in its history. Guess who was part of the lucky selection? Yup! Yours truly. It's a great school, plenty of stuff to do, lots of bright intelligent-

"Yo 'Monji, I bet you were having a sexy dream about that babe Moriyama hmm? 36-22-34?" Motohama says with a perverted grin. "No way," replies Matsuda "If you knew Ku the way I do you know he prefers them like Kazuse, 34-22-36!"

'If there is some righteous power looking over me right now please intervene..'

"Shut up you two..." oh sweet merciful- "our Kumonji isn't picky at all he appeals to all shapes of hotness with equal measure!" As if my headache wasn't bad enough as it is, in comes the captain of the perverted trio, my own best friend Hyodou Issei. "Issei could you please keep it down, unlike you three I still have my reputation and dignity intact, a fact that gets jeopardized every time you all hang around me." As the conversation degrades to smut and the perving of the girls of our class 2B I stand and walk out the door down the hall and over to the hillside with the most trees. Something about watching the light dancing between the new cherry blossoms always calms me, so much so in fact that I nearly miss someone walking just behind the tree and out of my line of sight toward an older building. I can only see her for an instant, but the shimmering black hair and yellow ribbon seem to dance in the wind. And just like that, she's gone. When class ends for the day I wake out of my reverie, the same nightmare I've been having all week now. It's just fragments: bright lights, cold air, a loud scream and then I'm awake again. I wonder what it all means, but for now I just need to get through the day.

A couple hours later and Issei and I are walking home. Just another day, just an average life. It's so routine it catches me off guard when he stops halfway across the overpass on our usual route.

"You okay bro? Those kendo girls must have scrambled what's left of your perverted brain this afternoon.."

"Hey I didn't look! It's not like I didn't want to I just didn't get to look.."

"I have more reason to believe them than you, but okay if you say so" I say, raising my hands in surrender. He stays there for a minute, looking out at the cars. The two of us see a bus approaching and as it goes under us I turn and start walking ahead. "uh hey, I'm just gonna start out for home, if I see your parents I'll let 'em know you're on your way home alright?" One of the benefits of having a best friend who lives next door is always looking out for each other. And occasionally telling his mom he's out buying porn just to screw with him. I think I'll do that. Just to be sure, I turn around to see if Issei's gonna be okay, and to my surprise he's talking to a girl, though I'm out of earshot and can only hope he's being a gentleman for once. With a yawn I can only swing my bag over my shoulder and trudge the rest of the way by myself.

'Guess I'll find out tomorrow.'

~~~End Chapter 1: I'm a Student~~~

Author's Note: so yeah this is just a short intro to the story, but I'll be adding as much as I can as fast as I can so please stick with me. If you Read, please Review. Even if it's negative, I want to improve so review tell me what I'm doing right and what I can work on. If you follow this you are awesome and I promise to be prompt as possible. if you favorite you are my hero/heroine 'cause honestly I'm not perfect.

Also this will have some serious swearing (I'm American, and I apologize. Kinda.) fighting, probably some fluff, maybe a ship or two... and also I will most likely be rewriting chapters later on in the story if I need to make continuity errors. So violence, language, sex, rock n roll. K thanks Bai!
