Kage awoke, shooting up from his bed, short of breath as though he'd been running a marathon. He looked over to his alarm clock along his bed, playing a rock song. 'I like to dream, yes. Yes, right between the sound machi…' He turned it off and shook his head.

He couldn't tell if what'd happened was a dream or reality. Whatever happened, he felt a great pain in his chest, as if somebody has stabbed him. That's what he saw in his dream anyways, if it was a dream.

He rubbed his eyes, still tired even though he had just woken up. He remembered vividly what had happened. He had been on his first date with any girl ever.

It was going pretty smoothly as far as he could remember. He recalled it, to when she asked him that fatal question.

"Kage, would you mind dying?" asked Yuuma, his date. This question threw him off, he had no idea how to react to that.

"I'm sorry, do you mind repeating that again? I don't think I quite heard you right." Kage asked, sure that he had just imagined that.

Just then, he was unexpectedly struck with something in the chest. He looked down to see something bright, penetrating his chest.

He coughed up blood then fell to his knees. He was feeling an unbelievable pain from whatever was in his chest.

He looked over to Yuuma, who was smiling. She let out a little chuckle "I'm sorry, but I had to kill you, you were just too much of a threat." She said.

"W-why?" asked Kage.

"Well, you can't blame me. That's what you get when you have the Sacred Gear in you." Said Yuuma as she left. Kage had no clue what she was talking about, but that didn't matter.

His vision slowly began to fade away, he was starting to die.

"I can't believe this," Kage thought to himself "my first date, and I get killed? Well, this is my fate. I just wish that I could've lived, just to be with her".

In his last thought, the only girl he could think about was Rias.

"R-Rias." Kage called out quietly.

His vision was becoming black, and then he saw her as his vision faded away.

"Just who was that?" Kage thought to himself. "Oh well, that doesn't matter, I've got to get ready for school." He said to himself.

As he got up to get ready, he looked into the mirror, horrified to look into it. Something about his eyes, he couldn't help but to look in terror at what he saw. After he had gotten ready, he put on some mirrored aviators and left for school.

Kage went to Kuou Academy, a once female-only private school that had recently begun accepting male students, but it was still mostly full of girls. It was Kage's parents' idea to send him to that school.

"Oh, come on Kage," his mother said, "It may just be a good experience for you".

"Yeah, it just may help to fix your little… problem".

"Thanks mom and dad." Kage thought to himself sarcastically.

The academy wasn't so bad, apart from one problem. Kage was kind of scared of girls. He couldn't quit explain why, but talking to one, and somewhat being around them, made him uneasy a lot.

His parents were right though, it had helped overcome this fear quite a bit. He got into his classroom and sat down next his friends, Matsuda and Motohama.

"So, have you watched that porno I lent you?" Matsuda said, loud enough for the class to hear.

"Shut the hell up! I didn't even take it, I gave it back!" Kage shouted as he punched Matsuda in the head.

"Well, look in your bag." Matsuda said with a grin on his face.

Kage looked into his bag, surprised to see it in there. "Damn you, Matsuda!" he shouted as he punched him in the head a few times.

"Well you guys, there is quite the breeze today. The girls' skirt are lifting, so it's a good day to look at their panties" Motohama said with a creepy grin on his face.

"Don't say that so nonchalantly." Kage said with a somewhat disgusted look on his face.

"Hey, look what I've got. A limited-edition parody porno!" Mastuda shouted in excitement.

Kage saw all of the girls looking their direction, he could tell most of the girls were disgusted by them.

"They're so disgusting.", "They are so pervy.", "What a couple of virgins.", "Why does Kage even hang out with those two?" He heard many girls muttering to each other.

This was usual, as the girls were always talking about how disgusting Matsuda and Motohama were, and they were always asking why he hung out with them. They didn't have any problem with Kage. He was actually quite popular with the girls, they all liked him, although he was somewhat nervous about being around them.

Kage was a fairly good-looking guy. He very dark, black hair that hung just below his shoulders, and a good-looking face. He was quite athletic as well, and well-toned. He began to suspect that his new glasses were become popular among the ladies as well.

They all worried about how Kage might give into their perverted ways. But he was used to their behavior. After all, he'd been friends with them since they were kids, and they weren't focused on such pervy things.

"Hey, keep mocking us. But I'm sexually assaulting all of you in my head!" Matsuda shouted at them.

"Oh my God, dude. Knock that off." Kage said to Mastuda, trying to calm him down.

"Hey, Motohama, help out here!" Kage shouted over to Motohama. But he was too busy gawking at the porno Matsuda had bought.

Kage sighed as he held Matsuda back from the girls then pushed him back into his desk. He sat down and sighed, resting his head on his hand.

"What's wrong man?" Matsuda asked, "You seem different today".

"Yeah, your usually much livelier than this. Normally you have an easy time keeping Matsuda back." Motomaha pointed out. "Are you sick?'

"No, I'm just tired, that's all. I haven't gotten much sleep." Kage replied

"Could it be that you have been thinking of that Yuuma?" Motohama asked.

"Yeah, are you sure you guys don't remember her?"

"Yes, I never forget a girl that I meet."

"I swear I remember introducing you guys to her." Said Kage, thinking back to when they first met her.

"Hey guys, this is Yuuma, my girlfriend." said Kage, pointing his hands out to her.

"Hi, I'm Amano Yuuma, please take care of me." Yuuma said cheerfully.

Motohama and Matsuda both swung at Kage, which he ducked.

"I can't believe that Kage has a girlfriend! This is crazy!" Matsuda exclaimed.

"Yes, this is quite unnatural, especially for somebody with a… condition, such as Kage's" Motohama followed up.

"Well, I decided to move on and give it a try." Kage said as he put his arm around his friends' shoulders.

"Maybe you guys should consider getting one too." Kage said in a joking manner.

"Well, if you did, you should have her cell phone number." said Motohama

"I'm not sure what happened to it, it must have been erased." said Kage.

"Who would do something as petty as that?" asked Matsuda

"I don't know, it doesn't matter anyways!" Kage exclaimed.

"Well, maybe if we all hung out tonight it would lift up your mood." Motohama suggested.

"Yeah, maybe you're right." Said Kage, "But no porn, if there's porn, I'm leaving".

Matsuda and Motohama both groaned.

All of a sudden, he noticed everybody gathering around the window. Kage went to see what it was all about. There she was, the envy and yet idol of all girls and the dream of all men. Rias Gremory, a third-year student at Kuou Academy.

That was the one girl Kage had ever dreamed of, he thought about her quite a lot. Most girls he never thought of, but she was different. He didn't know why, but she was.

As Rias walked about, she looked up at Kage, or Kage thought she did anyways. He thought back to when he had been killed by Yuuma, he swore he'd seen her there just as his vision began to flee.

…

Kage laid back on a chair in Matsuda's room as Matsuda and Motohama were both reading porno magazines. He still wasn't okay with it, but at least they weren't watching it. This was a trade he was willing to make.

"Why don't any of us have girlfriends." Matsuda asked.

"I was once called to by a girl, but they just mugged me behind the school and took my money." Motohama said, as a tear fell from his eye.

"Well, maybe because you two are a couple of pervs and I'm scared of the female gender." Kage pointed out.

"Hey, shut the hell up!" Matsuda and Motohama exclaimed in unison. Kage couldn't help to chuckle a bit.

…

Motohama and Kage both left Matsuda's place, "See you later, Kage." said Motohama. "Yep." replied Kage

As Kage walked home, he felt a weird feeling in the air. "I feel fine, but I can't help a little strange." Kage thought to himself.

"Hello there," Kage turned around to see a man dressed in black, "who do you belong to? Unless you're a stray."

Kage left, paying no notice to the man behind him. He then started to hear the man follow him. Kage started to run. Kage stopped just outside of a park, looking around to see if anybody was near. The coast seemed clear.

"Trying to run, I see." Somebody said behind him.

Kage turned to see the man that he had seen outside of Matsuda's house. Kage jumped back, keeping some distance from the guy. He noticed that he had black wings, just like Yuuma's.

"Maybe you'd care to tell me your master, if not, I'll have to kill you." said the man.

Kage was confused, and kept silent. "Oh well, guess I'll just have to kill you." he said, as something bright began to form in his hand.

"What is that?" Kage thought to himself. A spear started to form in his hand. "Wait, that's the same one Yuuma put through my chest."

The man threw the spear at Kage. He was able to move just in time to avoid it. The man, being somewhat surprised, approached Kage and swung at him. Kage ducked it and punched him in the face.

The man was knocked back a step. "I'm surprised. If I were a human, that may have knocked me out." He said, wiping his hand across his mouth. "Whoever your master is, it looks like they have somebody special. Unfortunately, I'm still going to have to kill you."

Kage took another swing at him, but the man dodged it at what Kage thought was an incredible speed. He then kneed Kage in the stomach, to which Kage exhaled sharply. Kage turned to see another spear of light coming his way, this time it was too late to dodge it.

He groaned in pain as the spear went through his chest, just below his right shoulder. This was a far worse pain than he remembered the last one being. He tried to pull the spear out, but it burned his hand.

"Having trouble there? That's because it's made of light, and light is like poison to you devils."

"A devil?" asked Kage, "I'm no devil."

"Oh, but you are, now let me help you to take this out." said the man, as he pulled the spear from Kage's shoulder. "It, looks like you're still alive, I did after all only hit you in the shoulder. Here, this time I'll make sure to kill you!"

The man lifted the spear, just then, something hit his arm. He looked to see his sleeve was burnt off and his arm was kind of burnt too. He looked over to see a girl with crimson hair.

"This is my servant here, and I'm going to have to ask you to leave him be." said the girl.

Kage looked up to see the crimson-haired girl, and he knew who it was.

"Ah, Rias Gremory, nice to meet you." Said the man.

"It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Mr. Fallen Angel." replied Rias.

"So, this here is your servant, looks like you picked up a pretty good one here."

"Yes, this is my servant. If you kill him, there will be hell to pay. Understood?"

"Yes, but if one is out my themselves again, don't be surprised if they are killed."

"Dually noted."

"Well, I'm off, let us never meet again."

Rias turned to see Kage with his hand over his bloody shoulder. He looked up at Rias.

"R-Rias." Kage said, as he felt himself succumbing to the pain.

"Here, let's bring you home to heal these wounds." Rias said, helping him up.

Kage smiled, just as he collapsed from the pain.

Kage awoke in his bed as his alarm went off with a heavy riff. 'Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my migh…' Kage shut of his alarm as he put on his glasses.

Kage looked around his room. Everything seemed fine, he couldn't figure out why he had felt strange. He then looked down at himself.

"What the hell? Why am I naked!?" Kage asked himself. He didn't remember taking his clothes off.

Kage heard somebody moan to his left, he looked over to see who it was. He was surprised to see it was Rias Gremory.

"Rias!? What the hell!?" Kage thought himself. He couldn't recall her coming into his room either. Whatever was happening, Kage couldn't quite piece it together.

Rias began to stir. "Oh, Kage, I see you're awake."

"What the hell are you doing in my house? Why aren't you clothed? Wh-wh-" Kage was speechless.

"Kage, are up honey." asked his mom from downstairs. "You'd better have a good reason for being home late."

"Shit." Kage said under his breath. "Y-Yeah, just give me a minute!" He called to his mom.

"Is it morning already?" Rias asked.

"Oh shit, we need to get you covered up, man." said Kage. Just as he was about to cover her up, he tripped over the blanket and fell into her, his face planting into her boobs as his glasses got knocked onto the top of his head.

"Kage-" his mom came into his room to see Kage on top of Rias, both of them naked.

"Dammit." Kage said under his breath as he pushed his glasses down, just before he lifted his head.

"Sweetie! Kage, he-he-!" his mom shouted to his dad.

"What is it, dear?" his dad asked.

"Kage is naked in bed with a girl!?" his mom exclaimed.

"You guys are so lively in the morning here." Rias said with a smile.

"What the hell are you doing here, and why are you naked?" asked Kage.

"Well, I brought you home after what happened last night. Which, by the way, how is your shoulder?" Asked Rias as she began to dress.

"Oh, yeah." said Kage, as he recalled the man that had thrown that spear through his chest, "It's fine".

"So, that actually happened last night, huh?" asked Kage

"Yes, it did." said Rias, as she buttoned up her blouse.

"Well, where is the wound?"

"I patched it up for you." Rias replied. "I'm surprised how well you're taking it, saying how bad it was. But I've been healing you by giving you my power, which is why I was in bed with you. Embracing you in the nude." Rias said with a provocative smile on her face.

Kage felt a drop of sweat trickle down his face. He wiped it off.

"You see, I'm a devil," said Rias, "you're also my servant, so please take care of me, Kage."
