Now sit down and just enjoy the story, if there's something in the story you don't find satisfactory please let me know.)
My name is Arett Wycliffe; I recently transferred to a new high school in my second year. Not much is known about Kuoh Academy, other than the fact that it was originally an all-girls private school. That was until recently the academy changed into a co-ed school and the new school building was made. Luckily my father had a house he left for me when I turned seventeen so I didn't have to deal with dorms. I knew my dad was still alive he sends a letter once a year telling me he loved me and how much he hated his job sometimes. I always enjoyed them; he'd send a photo with or two with them. I knew he never flirted or dated, he loved mom too much do so. I that because when mom died that was the one time I saw him. He told me that he didn't want me to stay with him because he traveled about everywhere; he said it would put too much stress on me and I'd never be able to make friends. I was eleven and I kind of understood, I was able to tell he wasn't just trying to dump me, I looked him in the eyes and saw the sadness that I couldn't be with him. I stayed with a friend of my moms up until recently when my latest letter from my dad requesting me to go to Kuoh academy, the applications when inside along with the keys to the house he left. I filled them out and moved to the house it was in my name and dad said he had paid for all the expenses. I was grateful and promised I'd pay him back. It was a modest place; two floors a small balcony on the second floor, a few bedrooms that'll probably end up as storage. The one thing that was pretty impressive was the training room/Workshop in the large basement. Even at a young age my parents trained me to fight, mostly self defense but I thought it was pretty cool, my best friend thought it was so cool he actually once asked me to flip him. Now a' days I still flipped him and he'd return it with a flip of his own, we'd still end up laughing afterward. I had to say goodbye to most of my friends when I moved, not before my friend pestered me about five million time to try getting pictures of the girls that went there. I said no and we each exchanged our flips and said our goodbyes.
The uniform was OK, and by OK, I mean after I threw that stupid bow in the trash and slipped on my dad's old black hoodie under the jacket. As I walked through the of the academy I immediately and I mean like after a single minute I already heard gossiping.
"Why's he wearing that hoodie?", "what's up with his hair?"" another foreigner?" as I approached the main door of the building and turned around with a smile to the gossiping people.
"OK! First off, yes my hair is white. It's dyed.(he also used a simple black hair band to keep some hair out of his face) Second I like the hoodie it's comfy and breathable. Third, yes I'm a foreigner but my Japanese is very good and I like most people. Have very good hearing." They all jumped slightly and each earned deep red expressions, making me smile as I turned back around and headed off to my first class.
The classes, how else could I describe them as 'School'. When I got to gym I got my gym clothes nothing that special really. A pair of red track pants sneakers a black tee shirt and a matching track jacket which I just wrapped around my waist. Besides getting almost stampeded by some random group of girls yelling at two guys and calling them perverts ,I enjoyed myself considering I was faster then everyone else in class. At one point I even pasted the duo being chased by who I was guessing the kendo club, I lessened in speed and called asking if the club had any open positions. At first the half who's attention I gained looked at me enraged making me think they were about to kill me, but stopped and their expressions changed and smiled telling me that I should come by some time. I said I'd be happy to and they got giddy as they waved goodbye resuming chasing the 'Perverted Dou'. I mentally sent them my condolences to them having a feeling them wouldn't have the ability to reproduce soon.
I took a deep breathe as I turned around and saw an old building. [Must be the one they used for the original school.] I decided to get a closer look since my fellow classmates seemed to past out a mile back [that's what happens when you push yourself too much guys]. I was an impressive building if not a little creepy looking. That's when I saw something I got closer and saw a Beautiful girl with red hair and blue eyes. She was leaning a bit out of a second story window looking at the sky when I did something without thinking.
"Hi there." The girl jumped slightly making me myself jump as I thought she'd fall out of the window. She quickly looked down and saw me slightly angry but then relaxed slightly.
"Hello." Her voice sounded nice, but almost little a silent undertone 'dangerous'. I wasn't that intimidated that much considering how my mother was able to be scary and nice at the same time. Something about her both made me slightly drawn and afraid of her. "Uh…Hello?" I was pulled out of my thoughts.
"Oh! Sorry, was a bit lost in thought" I chuckled scratching the back of my head. She giggled a little and smiled. I didn't often little the sound of giggling but man that one sounded very good. I blushed as I reached into my jackets pocket and pulled out a white package." Would you like a saltine?" She blushed slightly and nodded, I was about to ask if I could come up and share a few when.
"WYCLIFFE! STOP FLIRTING AND FINISH RUNNING!" we both blush slightly as the coach yelled at me [I wasn't flirting! Was I?].
"I'm coming! Sorry I gotta go but…" I threw up the unopened package and she caught it with ease looking at it slightly confused "…Hold on to that for me, so we can share it sometime." I smiled and saw her blush deeply as she nodded and waved. I waved back and ran full speed to catch up immediately passing everyone else. [I hope she saw that bit of awesomeness]. I smirk even more determined and go even faster hearing shocked groans behind me.
Third Person POV:
"What are you thinking Rias?" The girl with her black hair in a ponytail asked as Rias looked down at the package of crackers given to her by the white haired boy. [He looked around the same age as my] Rias thought to her self as her friend again tried to get her attention. This time waving her hand in front of Rias's face. This time pulling her from her thoughts.
"Oh. Sorry about that Akeno" Akeno just smiled and waved her hands side to side telling no problem.
"Who was that guy? He's kind of good looking." They both looked out of the window at the boy catch up with his classmates at an alarming speed, surprising them even more as he then passed them all and kept going with ease. "HOLY SHIT! Even Koneko has gain some speed before getting that fast. He just went in a second." She turned to Rias who was smiling.
"He's interesting, lets keep an eye on him" Akeno looked down at the package and smirked seeing the over side.
"He must find you interesting too, considering how much he likes those things." Rias looked to see what she was talking about and saw a look on the other side *HEY! PAWS OFF MY SALTINES! You want some? GET YOUR OWN!* Rias blushed slightly.
[H-he likes them this much and gave them to me?] Blushed slightly more and smiled down at the saltine package.
Normal POV:
After I finished and took a shower I realized something as I walked almost home making me grip my head feeling like an idiot.
"I DIDN'T ASK HER NAME!" I let go of my head and sighed hoping I'd see her again after the weekend. I stopped again when I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. I walked over to the lamp post and leaned over to the side "Hello?" I saw a girl with long black that reached her hips and violet eyes; she jumped making an adorable squeak noise seeing that I saw her. She had a nice figure and was wearing what looked like a different schools uniform.
"h-hi" she looked at the ground seeming very shy which to me seemed very cute.
"Um. Hi…I-I'm Arett Wycliffe, and you are?" The girl looked down at her hands nervously before looking back up.
"I-I'm Yuuma Amano" I smiled as I held out my hand with a slight blush from her cuteness.
"It's nice to meet you Yuuma" she blushed deeply and smiled taking my hand and giving a shake.
"Y-you too, could I ask you something?" I raised a eyebrow and gestured letting her continue. "a-are you single?" my face blushes deep red as I jumped slightly taken unawares by the question.
"Y-yeah" I barley stammer out, her expression brightens and smiles.
"Would you go out on a date with me?" that one made me then fall on my face (ANIME STYLE). I recovered and rubbed the back of my head.
"I'm sorry, but no…" her happy expression drifted away in sadness and she looked like she was starting to tear up. "ACK! NO NO NO NO! its not that I don't like you, I mean your very pretty and seem very sweet…" She perked up slightly blushing "…I just don't you should date someone till you've gotten to know them a little." I rub the back of my head feeling like a idiot for almost making her cry.
"O-okay then would you like to spend some time with me tomorrow?" I felt a small smile crawl it's was on my face.
"Sure thing, we can meet here tomorrow" she got a big smile. We exchanged numbers and went our separate ways. As I got home I set my bag down and change for bed into a simple tee and sweatpants. I set me head on my pillow and drifted into dreams, my thoughts about the red headed girl and some about Yuuma.
* * * * * *
I got up the next morning and took a shower and looked at my clothes for something to wear. I put on a white tee and dark blue jeans with a pair of red and black checkered converse, and slipped on my dads black hoodie rolling my sleeves up just below the elbow. I ate some breakfast and headed out to meet with Yuuma. On my way I went past a girl handing out odd looking flyers and took one with a smile.
"Hey there" I waved as I saw Yuuma waiting for me where we met. She smiled and waved back. We went into town seeing the shops they had.
"Are you doing something different with your hair?" Yuuma pointed at my head and I looked into a mirror and I saw that my hair was mostly in my face.
"SHIT! I forgot my hair band. Dammit" I looked my self angrily in the mirror and pointed at my reflection with my left hand. [I blame you for this] I felt slightly stupid as I talked to myself when all of a sudden I saw Yuuma placing a black and red stripped head band on my head. "Huh?" I turn towards her and she smiled.
"There you go, much better" I blushed realizing that she bought it for me.
"You didn't have to do that"
"I know I wanted to." She smiled making me blush more as I walked over to a shelf and picked up a hair clip. [a feather.] I looked back at her and something felt like it'd suit her. I went over to the cashier and paid for it walking back and presenting the white feather clip. She seemed a little surprised by the sight of the white feather and blushed. This time it looked like she blushed even deeper than before. She smiled as she took it and smiled, I smiled back and we left and saw there was a cinema and saw a movie. [Wait isn't this kind of like a date?] I looked over and saw a smile on her face and just shrugged. After the movie was over she told me she wanted to show me the fountain that was in the park. the sun was setting in the distance as Yuuma ran ahead slightly looking at the fountain.
"T-this was nice."
"Yeah I had a good time too" I smiled when it felt like it seemed almost like the air around me grew colder.
"It's too bad you have to die now" my brain too a second to register what she just said.
"What?" I took a slight step back.
"I did have a nice time though" all of a sudden Yuuma's clothes seemed to burst , my noise bursting blood for a slight second as her body looked as if it matured slightly and was now covered in a different much more revealing outfit and Black feathered wings suddenly coming from her back. "So I'll make sure this is quick" She manifested something shaped like a spear, it glowed bright, something about it seemed familiar but I couldn't figure out where I'd seen it. Then I saw it a lot closer it was coming right at me I just manage to dodge it as it whizzed pass my face.
"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS YUUMA?!" Something seemed to conflict her I saw it clearly on her face.
"I'm sorry" I just barley heard what she said as she threw another spear this time I couldn't dodge it, but I then did something that surprised me. I CAUGHT IT! I went it pulse in my hands. I stung slightly but at the same time it felt calming. I suddenly felt my mind go blank as suddenly felt as if now I wasn't in control of my body and was just a watcher. I absorbed the spear feeling it invigorate my body and look up at Yuuma her face filled with shock and confusion. I attended my right hand when all of a sudden long handle appeared as at the top of it stretched into a long curved silver blade, a SCYTHE! Then all of a sudden a pair of large white feathered wings emerged from my back I could see my own face. My eyes had become half lidded and my irises were now silver. I looked back to Yuuma who had landed shock and almost fear on her face. "H-How?"
"Raynare this will be the one time I will interfere, after this my son will learn to defend himself…"My mouth had opened but it wasn't my own voice it was my DAD'S!? "…since you were an old friend, I will allow you to leave. Now go."
"I-It can't be you, it's not possible how is thi-"
"RAYNARE LEAVE!" She looked at "me" hesitantly before retreating only a few stray black feathers left to even show she'd been there.
"I know your there Devil. I'm very familiar with your kind in more ways than one. "He turned to the treeline where the girl from before emerged. I was able to see more of her this time, her uniform fit her well accentuating her figure, her long red hair reaching down to her thighs.
"I unfortunately cannot say the same, but the definite detail I can ascertain is that you are a angel." Her words rolling over her tongue with ease talking as though these things were common conversation. Before another thought could pass through she continued "Now tell me what you want considering that we are currently talking so calmly?"
"Well, I have a request to make of you...Rias Gremory." She seemed to be surprised but it then changed to intrigue that showed very much on her face.
"I will hear this request, but I wish to know your own name to familiarize myself with who I'm dealing with." She smiled as I felt as if everything had slowed down except the words that were spoken.
"That is a fair I suppose, I have many name's but I will use the one my son knows me as which is also my most known. My name is Thanatos the Archangel of Death." As he mentioned him name which I'd heard dozens of times before this time as it was spoken the air around seemed to tremor. Rias seemed slightly taken back by this which then saw a smile of almost excitement on her face. It was terrifying and beautiful at the same time.
"So what is it that you request of me 'God of Death'?"
"I request you take my son into your Peerage, and help release the rest of the power given to him by his mother." She took a step forward.
"And who might his mother be?" 'My' eyes narrowed.
"I will send a letter with details, because I think that currently my son has experienced enough for one night." He looked toward me making me jump as I looked into the pools of Silver. "Trust what I do for you Arett." He reached up 'my' hand and ruffled my hair as I my mind become hazy as I look and find that I'm once again looking though my own eyes.
"Very well, I accept. From this moment on he is my loyal servant." Everything in my vision went black as the only thing on my mind was a single question.
"My father is the God of Death?"
