Fiendish Awakening
A High School DxD Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne
"Sometimes you have to confront your demons and sometimes even let them loose to genuinely find a place where you can gain some understanding."-Peter Mullan
The same color as that person's hair color. That's what I thought while I was covered in blood. Red-. A crimson color which is more brilliant than strawberry-blonde. Yes. That person's beautiful and long crimson hair has the same color as the color my hand is covered with...
"Ah... I am dying" I thought... I instantly recognize the wound for what it is... a wound that will kill me
I couldn't let my voice out and heard her footsteps moving away from me.
At the same time, my eyes were getting blurry. The hole in my stomach must be critical, though I didn't feel any pain.
Although I realized that I was in a seriously bad condition because I felt that I was about to lose consciousness. It must feel nice if I lose consciousness. But if that happens, I will certainly die.
Are you serious? Am I going to die at this age? I haven't even lived half of my life yet! How can
I laugh if I die because I was stabbed by my girlfriend! Lots of things inside me were
disappearing along with my consciousness.
What's going to happen at school tomorrow? Will Matsuda and Motohama be shocked? Will they cry for me? Ha-ha, not in a hundred years... Mum, Dad... I haven't done anything to please them yet. Oh crap. It's not going to be funny if they find the porno magazines after I die.
Why the heck am I only thinking of that kind of stuff when I'm dying? My hand could still move. I touched my stomach and brought it in front of me. It's red, crimson red. My whole hand is red. It's all my blood. Then I thought of this girl. The beautiful girl with the crimson red hair. Every time I saw her, my eyes were drawn to her crimson red hair.
If I was going to die, I wished it was inside the arms of a beautiful girl like that. Am I cheating
on my girlfriend Yuuma-chan, if I think like that? Hold on, she was the one who killed me... If I
was going to die, I wished I could have groped her tits.
But all of this... all those thoughts... are stopped by the thing I got at a store by chance during my date... let's go back... to where it all begun.
Chapter 1: Diabolica Excitatio/ demonic Awakening
Tape rewinding S/FX
That morning at school
Hyoudou Issei is my name. My parents and friends call me Ise.
I'm currently experiencing the time of my youth. Students with whom I'm not familiar would often say "Isn't that Ise?", and make me wonder how they know my name.
I'm popular you say?
No, that's not it. I'm famous because I have been accused of peeping inside the Kendo Club's
changing room.
What kind of perverted person do people think I am? I wouldn't do such a shameless thing as
peeping into the girls' changing room...
Sorry. I was at the scene. I was in the storage room next to the kendo club. There was a hole in
the wall, where I was trying to peep from.
Unfortunately I couldn't have a look because Matsuda and Motohama wouldn't get away from
the hole. Seriously, those guys...
I was seriously getting horny and couldn't calm myself down because these two idiots kept on
saying, "Ohhh! Murayama seriously has big tits!" and "Ahhh, Katase has nice legs".
Of course I wanted to have a look! But there was someone approaching the storage room so I ran
from the scene.
However, something so blissful happened to a guy like me, who would be doing all sorts of perverted stuff every day.
"Please go out with me."
A confession from a girl!
I felt what it was like to be a youth. For a guy like me who never had a girlfriend before, that was like a dream come true. The name of my girlfriend was Yuuma Amano. She had silky black hair, and a slender body. She was so cute that I fell in love with her at first sight. Anyone would say yes if some beauty came up to you and said "I love you, Hyoudou-kun! Please go out with me!"
That would be like something out of dream for a guy like me who never had a girlfriend since I
was born.
It wouldn't be weird if someone says "What bishoujo game did you get that from?", but it seriously happened!
It's a miracle but I did get a confession from a beauty.
I actually thought it was a joke played by her and her friends. That can't be helped.
Until then, I believed that I was a guy who was destined to never feel a girls love. But since that day, I had been a guy with a girlfriend. The world around me changed, and something inside me changed as well.
I wanted to say "It's my win" to every guy I walked past. I started to feel sorry for my two buddies, Matsuda and Motohama, who didn't have a girlfriend. That's how confident I became.
On our first date, I was ready to use the plan that I had made a while back.
Hahahaha, I've brushed my teeth dozens of times since yesterday night and there is not a single place I missed. I even bought new pants in case a little somethin' somethin' happened.
With the attitude of a virgin guy, I arrived at the meeting spot for the day three hours early. I counted up to a hundred girls who were wearing glasses walked in front of me. During that time I received a weird article from a suspicious looking person. It was an occult-looking thing with a weird magic symbol and a sentence written on it: "Your dream will be granted!" I wanted to throw it away, but I decided to put it in my pocket because I didn't have time to spare.
When Yuuma-chan arrived, I said "Don't worry, I also just got here". Bullseye! I always wanted to say that. We then started to walk while holding hands. I was so moved that tears were about to drop because I was holding the hand of a beautiful girl on a date.
After that, we went to different kinds of shops, enjoying our date. For lunch, we ate at a family restaurant where Yuuma-chan was eating a chocolate parfait, and I was full just by looking at her. I felt as if I understood how other teenagers feel when they go on a date. I felt as if I was alive for the first time.
Mum, thanks for giving birth to me. Dad, I was worried that our family wasn't going to have any descendants, but it looks like you don't have to worry about that anymore.
The date went without a hitch, I had planned it to perfection, I did not want ANYTHING to go wrong, we went for some crepes, we went to an arcade, I bought her a nice scrunchy for her hair.
We passed by an antique shop... I don't know why but... something drew me in, I am not a person who likes old stuff but I just felt like I was... called, beckoned you could say.
"Issei are you going in?" Yuuma-chan asked. I dumbly nodded, I could not resist the call, so I entered.
"wow... they have many nifty stuff here!" she said as she looked around
I continued into the store until I went so far, I know it was physically impossible, this store became larger on the inside than on the outside, like a certain blue box on that British show.
Still I stopped by a shelf, in it was a jewel in the shape of '6' or was it a ','? still my eyes where drawn into it, it shined with a greenish shine.
"Ah, hello there young one, it seems it was fate to meet you, do you like our items?" the man said.
The person takes me by surprise, it was like he literally appeared out of nowhere, so I let the most manly yelp I could.
He was beautiful, inhumanly so, if I could compare him to someone, it would be with that bastard bishounen Kiba Yuuto, my natural enemy.
However, the beauty in this man... it was not right, he was like a porcelain doll, too perfect to the point of it feeling artificial, inhuman...and his eyes, heterochromic, one red and the other blue. He was dressed in a rather sharp suit, he must be the owner of this place. Still all of that just screamed on my very soul.
This person could not possibly be human, however, because of how I was raised, did not listen to it, after all... supernatural things don't exist... right?
"Do you like it?" He said, his smile is disarming, I feel safe around him, his voice was pulling me in.
"Ah..." I don't know how to answer him "I guess, I don't really know what it is tough" I say.
He smiles kindly "This is a megatama" he explains "They appear in prehistoric Japan, more than ten thousand years ago, and have since then been used as ceremonial and religious objects"
Ah, that's why! I probably seen one before, I had an inkling of familiarity with this, I probably seen it on a temple during New Years.
"However, the one in there is different" he said as he took it out of it's case.
"H-how so?" I ask
"This megatama was used by a certain individual to acquire the power of demons to change a cruel fate stacked against him" he said.
"D-demons?" I said with fright, I was not good with supernatural things like that.
"Power, my boy, can be both a blessing... and a curse; often we must sacrifice something to obtain something else of equal value" he said gently.
He smiled gently "do you want it?" he asked.
If I want it? "Eh? Well... that is..." I had to admit, it looked very pretty and that shine was beautiful, I never seen a green like that... then I sighed, as I am on a date "I don't have much money on me" I answered truthfully.
He smiled "Don't worry, if it's you" his hands moved like snakes, snatching the leaflet from my breast pocket "This is more than enough" with that, he disappeared, and I found myself with the megatama on my hands, a lone string was on it.
I put it on me, and hid it inside my shirt, the man was nowhere in sight... for some reason this was like something out of the "Twilight Zone"
"Issei! I am done! Let's go" she said
"Ah... coming!" I said as I left the store.
We arrived at the park which was away from the town. The sky was getting dark, and save for us the place was empty.
Because of that, I imagined even more perverted stuff. I should have read a book which teaches you to do even more naughty stuff. Yuuma-chan was already away from me,
standing before the fountain.
"It was fun today."That's what she said while smiling.
Damn, she's cute. The environment around her gives off a good atmosphere.
"Hey, Ise-kun."
"What is it, Yuuma-chan?"
"There is something I want to do to celebrate our first date."
Oh yes! It's here! The moment I was waiting for! My breath smells nice, and my heart is ready for it. My heart was racing like crazy.
"Um, what is it that you want?"
Aaaah. The tone of my voice is deep. She must think that I'm thinking of naughty stuff. Did I screw up? But Yuuma-chan was still smiling at me, and she said to me clearly...
"Would you die for me?"
...Ummm. Huh?
"Ummm? That...Huh? Sorry, can you repeat that again? I think there's something wrong with my ears."
I must have heard it wrong. That must be it. So I asked her again. But... "Would you die for me?"
She said it again, while laughing. The sentence which didn't make any sense. I was there holding my smile and was about to say, "That's so funny Yuuma-chan."
-BASA- Black wings appeared from her back. Her black wings were making noises and they touched the ground after a moment.
What is that? I know that Yuuma-chan is cute like an angel. Angel? That can't be it. Is it some kind of acting? Her black wings make a good match with the darkness of the night. It must be some kind of illusion. But I wouldn't believe something like that. Her eyes changed from cute girlish eyes to cold and scary ones.
"It was fun, the short time I spent with you. It was like playing couple with a little child."
Yuuma-chan's voice was very cold. Her tone was like an adult's. Her mouth was forming a cold smile.
Buzz. There was a sound much heavier than the noise that a game system makes. That thing was making lots of buzzing noise and it appeared in her hands. That thing looks like a spear. Is it glowing? Actually, that is a spear.
Then, there was the sound of the wind followed by a nasty noise. Slash. Something felt like it pierced my stomach. Then I realized that the spear Yuuma-chan had was piercing through my stomach. She stabbed it into me, but why? I tried to get the spear out of me, but it disappeared. The only thing left was a huge hole in my stomach and a great amount of blood oozing out. My head was getting dizzy, and my eyesight was getting bad. When I realized it, I was already lying on the ground. There were foot steps closing in on me. A small voice reached me. It was Yuuma-chan's.
"Sorry. You were a threat to us so we decided to get rid of you early. If you want to hold a grudge, then hate the God who put the Sacred Gear inside you."
...Sacred...what?
I couldn't let my voice out and heard her footsteps moving away from me. At the same time, my eyes were getting blurry. The hole in my stomach must be critical, though I didn't feel any pain. Although I realized that I was in a seriously bad condition because I felt that I was about to lose consciousness. It must feel nice if I lose consciousness. But if that happens, I will certainly die. Are you serious? Am I going to die at this age? I haven't even lived half of my life yet! How can I laugh if I die because I was stabbed by my girlfriend! Lots of things inside me were disappearing along with my consciousness. What's going to happen at school tomorrow? Will Matsuda and Motohama be shocked? Will they cry for me? Ha-ha, not in a hundred years... Mum, Dad... I haven't done anything to please them yet.
Oh crap. It's not going to be funny if they find the porno magazines after I die. Why the heck am I only thinking of that kind of stuff when I'm dying? My hand could still move. I touched my stomach and brought it in front of me. It's red, crimson red. My whole hand is red. It's all my blood. Then I thought of this girl. The beautiful girl with the crimson red hair. Every time I saw her, my eyes were drawn to her crimson red hair.
If I was going to die, I wished it was inside the arms of a beautiful girl like that. Am I cheating on my girlfriend Yuuma-chan, if I think like that? Hold on, she was the one who killed me... If I was going to die, I wished I could have groped her tits. Oh man, I can't stop thinking about perverted stuff even before my death. Oh crap. My eyes are getting even more blurry. Is it finally the end? Damn I've had a crappy life.
But all of that is forgotten when the megatama in my chest begun to glow and the rock broke, giving away a creature inside of it.
It was something akin to a worm with two pincers at the top... I was in deep shock but I couldn't do anything... I was too tired... and then... I screamed.
It burrowed into my body trough the wound in my stomach, I felt it rushing upwards... it was going to... no... no way... it wouldn't... would it?
And then
PainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPainPain
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" I yelled, the pain, even in my dying state, was too much, it shock me back, the pain was too much, I screamed, and then I was silent, I knew I continued to scream tough, did I perhaps tore my vocal cords? Or perhaps my ears no longer worked?
Still for what I thought that lasted forever I was finally released from it all... and fell to the floor.
Just... what did this man... gave me?
A ball of energy with both black and red appeared... from the vortex the man from the store steps out, another entity followed him, it was a female of slight tanned skin wearing an open shirt, revealing a bit of her breasts, and low cut shorts, she had a chiropteran wings and a prehensile tail, her whole outfit was white. Her dark hair was up to her shoulder, she was very beautiful.
They came to see the young boy collapsed on the floor, he was badly wounded and his... incident with the megatama had not helped his current state, Still, it had been for the best, now he is in no danger of dying... at least for now.
"Is he alive?" the female creature asked.
"He is" the man said without turning back "But we need to check if there is no unwanted after-effects after all"
"Master, I suggest we go to a more... secluded or rather more hospitable place, this place is hardly fitting" the female creature.
The man nodded and snapped his fingers, then they where on the young boy's room.
It was dark, as the lights where off, but they needed not any light to see, as they where not creatures that needed any to see.
As the man begins to examine the boy the female creature took a peek at him "He doesn't appear to be very bright", she chuckled, the sound of it was magical, erotic... "Then again that fallen one was less so"
"His intelligence is not the issue, thank the deities, it is his potential that counts the most, and it has that in spades" he said as Issei's arm glowed red.
"I see... was it wise to seal such a powerful entity into a normal human? What is the Avatar of the Enemy thinking?!" she said.
"It was arrogance, as it always was, he thought that if he gave people such wonderful gifts they would have no choice but to serve him ever faithful" the man said.
She nodded and then grabbed some magazines from under his bed.
"OH! I think she likes some of my sisters... I believe I found his cardinal sin master, and that is Luxuria" the creature said with a playful smirk.
"I see... that is a easily exploitable weakness, I will ask your mother to help, maybe to loan me some of her clan's members" he said.
"Ah... that would be hard... she is still with that young summoner" she said.
"Ah... you mean Raido-kun? Yes she like young pretty boy types... don't worry she will do as I say" the man said.
He put him on the bed, his wound now healed thanks to the female creature's power.
"I expect great things from you..." he said
"Second generation Hitoshura"
And then... Issei was alone.
