Sup guys, Lighting Wolf here, back with another story, this one about DXD. Enjoy the 1100-word chapter. I down own DxD, Ichiei Ishibumi and a few others do.

(Underworld, lower levels 5 years before start of DxD.)

The Nekoshou continued her run as more Lower-class Devils continued their pursuit of her, her black Kimono, Yellow Obi, and golden beads made her stand out as she continued her run, the devils continued their pursuit.

'I just hope Koneko got out safely… It's worth being a SS-class stray if she got away.'

The girl thought before a massive wave of black energy forced the Devils to clash and for the girl to fall to her knees, she turned to see a figure covered in a shroud as black as night, she couldn't see his hands but one of his eyes glowed crimson red and the other pitch black as he pointed a scythe that had 2 blades on each end.

"What in the name of hell is going on here, why are you chasing the girl?"

The man asked, he didn't get an answer so he sighed and snapped his fingers as he rested the scythe on his shoulders, the Devil's eyes glowed purple as they spoke.

"We are attempting to apprehend this stray, Lord Shiniagami, she is wanted as a SS class stray for killing her master."

One of the Devils said as Shiniagami rubbed his head, he somewhat enjoyed when Devils used his last/nickname but sometimes it got annoying.

"I'll handle this, go back to the Devil Kings and tell them it was sorted out."

Shiniagami said as he snapped his fingers, the Devil Soldiers nodded and flew off as the Grimm Reaper looking figure turned his attention to the girl.

He offered her a hand as the girl looked at the hand that she assumed would be bone covered but simply looked demonic and claw tipped.

"You have a reason for murdering your house leader or was it just an accident or something?"

Shinigami asked in a voice that sounded gravely and rough but comforting to the young Nekoshou as she grasped his hand and hauled herself to her feet.

"It's complicated… But I did it for my sister, our master was going to experiment on us…"

The girl said as the Grim Reaper like being looked her over, he knew what the Nekoshou were and if what the girl is saying was true, then she had no real reason to be hunted down and killed like an animal.

"What's your name, then? You already know my last name… And the nickname that most Devils give me, do I have to guess or…?"

Shinigami joked as the girl laughed as the boy held out his hand.

"Kuroka, I am Kuroka, Lord Shinigami, Nya…"

Kuroka said as Shinigami rolled his eyes as she shook his hand, he tapped his scythe on the ground as a house symbol appeared behind the duo.

"C'mon, you're not a stray anymore if you're with me… Let's go get you introduced with the rest of the group."

Shinigami said as Kuroka stepped into the circle as did Shinigami did as well, the circle vanished and the two Devils were gone.

(Shinigami Estate, 2 minutes later.)

"Sorry about the mess, the rest of my Peerage is out… All four of them… I have other servants, but they're mainly doing the small stuff."

Shinigami said as he and Kuroka walked through the building, Kuroka nodded as they entered the parlor. Shinigami took a seat before a flash of light cut Kuroka off and blinded her for a second.

Taking the place of the Grimm Reaper like being was a boy who looked no older then her, his red crimson eyes were the same color as the one on the reaper, a black jacket, red fingerless gloves, black boots and red sunglasses took the place of the robed reapers clothing.

"Sorry, my Sacred Gear tends to blind people when I take it off or on… Anyway, I'm Takao, King/Lord of the Shinigami house… Before you ask, most Devils tend to refer to me as Shinigami because of… Well, you saw the Grimm Reaper thing… Anyway…"

Takao said as he looked Kuroka in the eye, she saw him twirl chess pieces between his fingers as he waited.

"You pick the piece, I only have 4 other servants and none of them take up much space… But, I want to know how the whole 'I killed my previous master to help my sister' thing first."

Takao said as Kuroka smiled and leaned back in her seat as she did so.

"Queen, Nya… And settle in then, it's very… Unique."

Kuroka said as Takao smirked and set the queen down on the table.

"Try me… And give me a minute, this may hurt."

Takao said as Kuroka nodded and started speaking as Takao's eyes glowed black.

(10 minutes later.)

Kuroka grunted and felt her stomach, without her previous master, whom Kuroka assumed would never have traded her at all even if she hadn't killed him, Takao had been forced to magically fuse the piece with her.

"Hmm, so your master just wanted to turn you and your sister into weapons to get stronger… I could see why you killed him… I can guess where your sister went, but there's little I can do for you at the moment in terms of Koneko… But, at the least, you are no longer a stray… Oh boy, the guys are going to flip when I find out that you're on the team… Anyway… I have no idea where the hell I was going with my thought."

Takao said as Kuroka laughed before her eyes narrowed as she hummed.

"Hmm, why didn't you already have a queen in your group? Being the King of the Shinigami house should have sent dozens running to join."

Kuroka said as Takao rolled his eyes before looking to the side.

"Two things: One, once you see the others, your see none of them could have been my queen… The second thing? I was looking for the right queen… Anyway, let's get you settled in…"

Takao said as he sat up from his seat and motioned for the Nekoshou to follow him into the guest rooms so she could see where her quarters would be.

Author notes

Phew, first chapter done! Yes, I know the grammar isn't the best, first chapters aren't my thing… Anyway, yes, this story is about Kuroka and she didn't join Khaos Brigade or anything… As for Shinigami? I'll explain him more but he's a smart, extremely, powerful Devil. There will be one chapter every other Tuesday. Next chapter will show Kuroka meeting the rest of the group. Until then, Lighting wolf out!
