For Everyone's Souls

"Will you die for me?"

Minato Arisato blinked. "I'm sorry?" he asked the black-haired girl in front of him.

The girl smirked. "Will you die for me?" she asks again, this time laughing.

Minato scanned her words for any sign of joking around. There wasn't any. Instead, where were vanity, amusement and arrogance.

Just as he was about to respond, black-feathered wings appeared from her back with a *flap* and she ascended to the sky.

With a vain smirk, she scanned Minato's face for any sign of shock, confusion or awe.

But much to her own confusion, there weren't any. Instead, there was disappointment.

He sighed, and put on his headphones. Turning his back he walked away from her. His lack of any care in what should be awe-inspiring disturbed the Fallen Angel.

"H-hey!" the fallen angel exclaimed, bewildered. "What the hell do you think you're doing?!" she asked him.

The boy in question stopped walking and turned to face her. He took a deep breath.

"Look, Yuuma – or whatever your real name is – I've been through a lot of shit. And now, I'm finally free in a new world, free to enjoy a normal life for once. No more creepy hidden hours. No more 200-floor Towers of Demise filled with monsters. And quite certainly, no more omnipotent Night Goddesses aiming to destroy the world. Just...peace and quiet. Leave me alone." He finished, the tone of his voice leaving no arguments.

He turned back around and continued walking, leaving the Fallen Angel Raynare with a multitude of emotions running through her head.

She was confused at his words. She was at awe with his lack of awe. And most importantly, she was afraid; of both the human who showed no fear and the consequences she might face if she failed to take him out.

(No, anything but that!) she thought, fearing for her life. She already has gone against Azazel's orders of simply observing the boy, she can't turn back now. (Yes, anything for Azazel-sama...) she thought, steeling herself.

Forming spears made of light, she quickly threw one at the blue-haired boy.

When the spears got dangerously close to him, he quickly dodged to the left, the most damage done was a graze on his Kuoh Academy uniform.

"Tch, what pain...this was my best uniform." He complained, ignoring the fact he almost got skewered. He turned his gaze to the Fallen Angel. "I see you don't take warnings very well. Fine then. You took this upon yourself." he uttered and took out what seemed to be a gun.

Raynare wanted to laugh out loud in amusement, instead she just smirked. This human thought he could harm her using such weak human weaponry? Her superiors ordered her to keep an eye on him since they thought he had a powerful presence, but it was clear to her that they were wrong. Her fears were unfounded.

But to her surprise, he didn't start shooting at her, instead he pointed the gun to his own head. She was confused, what was suicide going to achieve? Well, it would certainly help her situation.

"Wow, you're going to kill yourself? Guess you can't handle the heat, eh?" she gloated. "Well don't worry, I can assure you, I really enjoyed our date tonight. It was like playing house with a little—"

"Persona!"

A *bang* from the gun being fired resonated, followed by the sound of glass smashing.

Glass fragments shot out from Minato's head and orbited the blue-haired teen. A mechanical being formed, floating behind Minato.

It has a light green torso, with metal arms covered with white gloves. Its long white legs were slanted at the end, acting like feet. Its neck was covered by a long red scarf. The only part that wasn't mechanical was its head, with dark grey skin and white hair similar to Minato's own. On its back was a white lyre.

"Thou art I, and I art thee...From the sea of thy soul, I come...I am Orpheus, Master of Strings." The mechanical being uttered.

Minato glared at his former date. "Be grateful. I'm going easy on you."

Before Raynare could retort, Orpheus rushed towards her and bashed his lyre at her, slamming her to the ground.

"Going easy, you say?" she gritted her teeth. "Don't make me laugh!" she exclaimed as she took to the skies once more. "A mere human like you...doesn't have the right to even speak to me!" she yelled out furiously.

Minato rolled his eyes. "We just did though. Several times."

Raynare ignored him and threw more spears of light, most of which Orpheus dodged.

"Ugh...just die, will you?" she whined, unaware just how pathetic she was, losing to a Persona that didn't learn anything after level 6.

Minato sighed. "How pathetic. Let's just finish this." He said as he held out his hand. "Agi!" he yelled out.

On cue, the Master of Strings strung his lyre, a fireball formed and slammed into the Fallen Angel, setting her wings on fire.

She yelled out in pain. "No! My wings!" she cried as she tried to beat the fire off her treasured wings. An Angel, Fallen or not, was nothing without their wings.

"Damn you...I'll get you for this!" she stereotypically cried out as she flew off, fleeing the scene.

Minato breathed a sigh of relief after she was out of sight. How did an innocent date take such a turn? He de-summoned Orpheus, hid his Evoker, and began to walk home. Of course, things just didn't go his way that night.

"Very impressive." A female voice caught his attention. He turned around to see a beautiful girl with long crimson hair. He recognized her as Rias Gremory, the most popular student in his new school. "She may have not been very powerful, but you're still human. Are you a summoner of some sort?" she asked.

"Perhaps. Now if you excuse me, I wish to go home now and not get involved with the supernatural. Again." He said, turning his back.

"Don't worry, I get the cue. A question though, just who are you?"

"Minato Arisato. Just a normal 2nd year High School student." He said, not turning his back. He suddenly stopped for a moment. "...and member of SEES." He added with a hint of pride, and continued walking.

"SEES?" she questioned, but he wasn't answering. (...Just what was that power he used? That summoning method was...unorthodox, and the magic he used...) she pondered. She stared at the enigma who was walking away from her. Two weeks ago, he suddenly appeared with records that were most likely faked and enrolled into Kuoh Academy. He had no family. No known contacts. He was just...there.

(...Just who are you, Minato Arisato?)

End of Chapter 1

Yes, it's short, I know. This is just a pilot chapter, I promise they'll be longer next time.

This was pretty much an idea I suddenly had. CONSTRUCTIVE Criticism is highly encouraged!

Question: As we all know, Minato has around 170 mythological creature ranging from Pixie to Lucifer, all inside his head. The question in, are they the real deal? And considering his Ultimate Persona...(Musician+Death God=Jesus? LOGIC.)

And should I keep Issei or not? How about pairings?

Well that's all for now. Until then...Farewell.
