I don't know if I should have made this story.

I don't own Highschool DxD.

My eyes slowly but surely open themselves, headache pounding as I grab my head to take away the pain. Taking deep breaths to calm my pounding heart, I look around, eyeing anything or anyone that could help my predicament.

Nothing, nothing at all. Just this huge open plain I'm in.

I slowly push myself up, one hand on my head while the other on the ground, kneeling to see where in the world I am in. Surely this isn't Heaven my friend likes to talk about. Doesn't seem like Hell either. If I died I should have been resurrected already by then, and in another world too. Memories forgotten and powers locked, that should have happened already. But yet, here I am alive and in some place I don't recognize.

I hear footsteps but I disregard them for now.

"Hello Dark."

I tear away my eyes from the open field to the speaker that stood beside me. I gave her a single look before looking away. Damn, why does this person have to be so beautiful? And why does she looks so familiar?

Long lilac hair that reached all the way down to her hips. Blue eyes and mature looking face, with a black dress that reached to her knees. Bare-footed though, not that it matters.

She gave me a smile as soon I stood up and looked at her, attention fully on her.

"Hello...?" I was unsure who was this person.

"Dark, we finally meet again." She said, eyes never tearing away from my own. She looked to the side, eyes staring into the open world.

"Do I know you?" I questioned, head tilted, headache forgotten. Maybe it was never there in the first place.

She shook her head, eyes focusing back into mine. "No, never in this life, but we have met a few times though."

"Oh..." I muttered. Sounds like she is one of the people I met some time in my past lives.

She sighs, then spoke. "I brought you here so you can experience a better life Dark."

I sighed too. "Seriously? Another Goddess wants me to experience a new life?" I tiredly looked away. "My life already have problems as much as it is right now, I don't need more enemies to make and friendships to be broken."

"This one will be a better life for you."

"Really?" I spoke with sarcasm.

She frowns. "Yes, a life with watching over a single female. That's it, just to protect a single female from harm."

My gaze locks back onto her. One eyebrow raised. "What can I do that you can't. I mean, I'm not easily provoked to just protect a single girl from harm, I'm pretty sure you can do that."

She shook her head. "But this one is like a daughter I never had." She smiled sadly. "I can't protect her due the things I have to maintain. I wasn't there for her when things had ended south. I can't protect her from her family, nor I can interfere."

I sigh, one hand raised to massage my forehead. "What is in it for me?"

She smiles brightly. "Perhaps a love interest if things go in your favor."

I growl deeply, killing intent in the air. "What?! Why should I have I believe you? IF anything, all relationships I have always ended with me or the girl I'm with getting hurt. You should fully be aware that I can kill you without a moments glance."

She gave me a soft sad smile. "You won't, because you won't hurt a single soul without reason. And you're too deep of your despair to know what love feels like again."

The killing intent disappears, and a frown is plastered on my face. I gave some thought to it.

I was brought out of my thoughts when she spoke again.

"You would be able to retain your past memories and old powers." She said. "And if you do agree, a new world to adventure in."

I nod. Maybe this world wouldn't be so bad as the one I'm in before. I shiver, remembering the monsters that had attacked me. Big teeth, trying to eat me while I fought for survival. I looked down at my attire. Brown pants with a belt that held my sword. White shirt with a black trench coat. Brown combat boots. And to end with it, a necklace given by the first girl I fell in love with. Oh how I miss her. Maybe I also need a new look.

"What's her name?"

"Velaria Lucifer."

Oh, I think I met the Lucifer himself if the dimension I'm thinking about is right.

"Do I keep my money I made from the past lives too?"

She grinned. "Yes, everything that belonged to you will be yours again."

I grinned back. I love this stranger. I spoke. "Where in the world you have been in my life?"

She blushes but replies. "We met before remember? It's just you forgotten about me."

I laugh. And a portal opens randomly beside me. It must be the time to go. I hug the stranger, who stiffens before hugging me back.

"It's time Dark, being here any longer shall kill you. So..." She went silent, tears slowly coming to her eyes. I hug her harder. "...I-I'll miss you." She says, hugging me with all her might. Even if I don't know this stranger, she must have been an important person in my life if she is hugging me really hard. She tears herself away from me, smiling as she rubs her eyes with her hand.

"It's time to go." I said.

She nods, watching me walk towards the portal. I wave my hand before entering the portal, never be able to see her again. After I went through the portal, I curse myself for not asking about her.

Her name, at least something to make me remember who she was.

I fell out of the portal, eyes widening as I fell from probably a hundred feet in the air. I didn't scream, rather focusing on slowing my descent.

A pair of red and black wings sprouted from my back, and with that, my fall had slowed down tremendously.

Landing softly, I made my wings disappear and surveyed the area. Tree's covered every direction I can see. I roll my eyes. Wow, a perfect place to start.

I enhanced my senses to see if I can find anyone who might be here. I grinned as soon I found someone. But frowned as soon as I felt something else. The person is running and it seems like he or she is being chased. I shrug, taking a running start before finally taking out my pair of wings again. Taking flight I pin-pointed the direction the person is running as I flew as fast as I can towards them.

It took a couple of seconds to find this person, but my eyes hardened as soon I saw the wounded state she was in. And what are those chasing her? Dogs from hell? They want to put her down I guess. Well that's not going to happen.

I put a barrier up around the girl as soon one dog had reached her and tried to pounce her. It bounced right off the barrier. Others followed the example the first dog did, pouncing and bouncing off my barrier. The girl however stopped running, probably tired. I flew down, stopping between the dogs and the girl.

I stood protectively in front of her. "Are you alright?" I said, eyeing each dog as they got back up and snarled at me. She didn't reply, too scared to even say something back. I look behind me, seeing her terrified eyes. She did nod back though.

I brought out my sword, taking her out of my scabbard and threw it up high.

The girl's eyes widened when the sword split into more swords, floating and releasing severe killing intent towards the dogs. It was not directed at her but she could feel how deadly these swords could be. The dogs didn't back down though, snarling and standing their ground.

I smirked, "Tempest, eradicate these dogs."

The sword glowed bright red, before launching herself towards the hounds.

They died as quickly as I saw them.

I nod, satisfied, and my swords blood lust hasn't been sated. Damn, gotta to find her more enemies to kill. I turned around towards the girl, dropping the barrier and spoke in a gentle tone. "Are you alright?" I repeated.

She spoke with a shivering voice. "Y-Yes, thank you for your help."

"What's your name?"

She hesitated, but spoke. "Valeria Lucifer."

I nod. "What are you doing out here Valeria?" So this is the girl I have to take care of.

Silver long hair that reached down to her back, a dress torn, wounds could be seen on the girl. I was mentally angry for whoever sent these dogs to her. She couldn't be more than just twelve though. She gingerly touch her arm where a gash could be seen. I frown, mentally cursing myself for no healing abilities.

"I was running away from home..."

"And they sent dogs to get you back?" I raise an eyebrow. "They seem like they want to kill you instead, not bring you home."

Veleria looks down, tears at the edge of her eyes. I sigh, then said. "Stay with me if you like, I'm not going to leave you alone until everything sorted out."

She looks back up, eyes widening. "I-what? No, I can't they will hunt you down too if I stay with you."

I smile, then laugh. "Ever heard of the family the Dark's?"

She shook her head. Ah right, the family I spoke of doesn't exist in this world. But one does now.

"Well," I pause, as more running came from behind me, faraway but will get closer if we stay like this. "We should be going now princess." I slowly offered my hand to her. "You will be under the protection of the Dark family."

She looked at my hand, hesitated, then slowly put her hand over it. My sword flew back into my hand and I put her back into her scabbard. "This will might feel weird though so might as well get comfy."

She nodded and stood beside me, holding my hand as she did so.

I close my eyes to find out where we are. Ah, the underworld. Now the closest place to teleport is Japan right now. It also has a familiar place to teleport too. Must be one of the houses I built in this dimension.

Not a moment later, the two occupants who were standing in the middle of nowhere disappeared.

Veleria let out a gasp as soon air came for her. I chuckle a bit, as she stumbles a bit before landing softly on the couch in front of her. Her breathing returns to normal as soon she turned around and sat on the couch normally.

"You alright?" I asked, standing before the princess as I looked around my old living space. I looked back at her, smirking as she gave me a glare.

"I'm fine." Was her reply.

"Alright." I nodded and then walked out of the room. I found the kitchen, rummaging through out the cabinets and fridge for any type of food that this house may have. I frown as I found everything to be empty. I went back to the living room. "Nothing in this house has any food, but I can get us both something to eat." I saw Veleria look at her own dress, tugging at the hem of her dress before looking up. "After you shower, get healed, and get you some clothes to wear."

She nodded gratefully and stood up. "Where's the bathroom?" She asked.

"In the hall, first door on the left." I answered, watching as she walked pass me and towards her destination. This house is pretty small so I'm pretty sure she can find her way around. After I heard the bathroom door close, I pulled up my phone, dialed a phone number, and waited patiently as it rang. A few moments later, it picked up.

"Dark?" A female voice answered, surprise on the other side of the call.

"Hello sister." I said, taking a seat on the couch.

"Where have you've been? I lost contact with you when you left the dimension we were all in." She shouted.

I chuckle. "A Goddess visited me and left me as soon I tried to flirt with her." I smirked.

I can feel it, she rolled her eyes. "Ha, ha, very funny mister I don't give a crap to anyone. Now where are you?"

"Would you believe me if I said I traveled through a portal to take care of the Goddess's daughter?"

Silence was the answer I got. After a minute, she spoke. "How old is she?"

"Didn't ask."

"Is she a threat to you?"

"No?" My sister sighed there.

"Is there someone out there to get her?"

"Yup, one-hundred percent yes."

"Then I'm coming over then."

I sighed too, perhaps too much lately for the past twenty-four hours. "Can you at least bring some of your clothes that might fit her? And some food too? She will be hungry."

"Sure." She ended the call there.

I looked at my phone tiredly then put it back in my pocket.

"Dark?" I looked up to see Veleria poke her head around the corner of the bathroom door.

"Yes?"

"Where is my new clothes?"

"Just a moment Veleria, my sister is coming with clothes that might fit you."

She nodded and closed the door.

I sighed.

A black vortex appeared in front of me quietly, and it was gone as soon I saw the person I was talking to on the phone appear before me with a set of clothes and a bag of food. I look away as she was wearing way too much white. White hair, white blouse, white jeans, white everything. I looked back at her when she was looking at me expectantly.

"Hey there Catherine." I cheekily grinned at her frowning face.

"You didn't call, you didn't text, and I thought something might have happened to you." She growled at me.

"Are you my sibling or girlfriend?"

"That's not the point!" She dropped the bag of food near my feet. "Now who is the girl you have to protect?" She questioned me.

I shook my head. "You wouldn't believe me but the heir of the Lucifer Clan."

"Lucifer? As you mean thee Lucifer, leader of Hell. Brother of Gabriel? What dimension are we in anyway?" She turned her gaze away from me.

"Dimension..." I paused to look at my phone, pulling out an app and read the description of this world. Oh. "Dimension 2-30X."

She looked surprised. "You came here through a portal and somehow landed where the supernatural exists?"

I looked away again. "I wasn't informed which dimension I was going to land in as the Goddess didn't tell me."

Catherine had the nerve the raise an eyebrow. "And you didn't call any of us first before you went through the portal."

An embarrassed flush entered my cheeks. "It was a spur of the moment."

she groaned as she rubbed her forehead. Her gaze went back to me. "Did you at least get her name?"

I was silent, and that was the answer she needed.

"Dark!"

I shrugged. "Look no need to be afraid. She wasn't going to harm me. Even though I was going to do that to her." I muttered the last part.

She groaned. She shifted the bag of clothing in her hand. "Anyways." she says. "Where is the girl-"

I raised my hand to stop her. "Veleria." I said, eyebrow twitching.

"Her name is Veleria?" A surprise of recognition took over her face. "I think I've heard her name somewhere."

"Really?"

"Never mind that right now, where is she?" She glanced around the living room we were in. I pointed towards the bathroom, and Catherine nodded and went there.

I heard her knock and Veleria opened the door. A small chat was heard before Veleria let her in.

I stood up, picked up the bag, and walked towards the dining room. I put down the food on the table and looked inside. A turkey, gravy, rice, and mashed potato. My eyebrow twitched. Is this Thanksgiving or something? And I doubt she bought these either. She probably stole it from someone. But I think I know who...

I took out the food and put the turkey in the middle with the side dishes around it. Hearing a door open, I peeked around the corner to see both girls come out of the room they were in.

Catherine was smiling as she escorted Veleria, who had new clothes on, to the table. I glanced at her while taking out plates out of the Cabinet.

"Aren't those dirty though?" Catherine questioned.

"No, these plates will never get dirty." I said, taking out three. I looked around for which drawer had the utensils. I shrugged when I couldn't find any. I turned around, only to falter to see there was plates and utensils already at the table.

"No way I'm letting Veleria eat on those plates Dark."

"B-But... Magic is on them though..." I whined. Catherine looked at me. I stared back at her. "...It makes them stay clean forever..." I squeaked.

"No." Catherine shook her head. "Just no."

I whined internally as I put the plates into the sink. I sat beside Veleria, pouting all the way. She had at least the decency to pat me in the back.

We all started to eat, and with that a conservation happened.

"How old are you Veleria?" Catherine asked.

"Fourteen." Veleria replied back.

"I'm nineteen and big whiny baby beside you is nineteen too." Catherine smiled as I glared at her.

"You're really young then." The Lucifer heir noted.

Catherine nodded. "What do you do for fun?"

I glared harder than usual at my sister, this is probably a sore topic.

When silence took over, Catherine started to apologize.

"No, it's fine. I did read once in a while for fun. But that's it, just training and training and training to hone my skills of my..." She paused, hesitant to say anymore.

"It's fine Veleria. When you start to trust a bit more, you can tell us." A motherly aura took over Catherine's normal aura.

"Alright." Veleria nodded, soothed by Catherine sudden change in aura.

"Anyways, eat up, your empty stomach won't make itself full if you don't eat at least." Catherine said.

As we finished up dinner, nighttime was upon us three.

Catherine was tucking Veleria in her own room. As she closed the lights, door, and left the room, I looked expectantly at her.

She motioned me to follow her, and I did, taking the time to gather my thoughts. We went outside and towards the balcony. A deathly aura, one being projected by my sister, was went unnoticed by me as I did some thinking. She sat on the ledge, with me staring off into the distance.

Silence took us both, with one frowning and one scowling.

My sister spoke first. "I healed her wounds Dark, even any scars she had also." She glared at me, scowling going deeper. "You didn't gave her first aid?" She growled.

"Didn't bother searching since I know this house does't have one. You would also know that I don't have any healing properties except know how to use a-"

She rolled her eyes. "First aid. But-" She accusingly pointed at me. "You always carrying first aid don't you?"

I edge away from her as killing intent was radiating off her in small waves. I raise my hands in surrender, sweating as her eyes were going black. Nope, not dealing with that.

"I used it on David as soon he gotten hurt from the fight he had with that demon remember? I was the only one with him that time and he doesn't know how to heal himself either." I tried defending myself. In truth, David, our youngest adoptive brother, fought against a demon that might get him to be killed. He won, but with heavy injuries. Took a a couple of my specialty in first aid to fix him and went find Catherine to heal him better than I did.

Catherine eyes just gotten darker. "You didn't get another just in case someone gotten hurt in front of you?! I thought you always brought extras?!"

I shrug, thinking of an answer. "I ran out."

Her eyes returned to normal as soon I said that. Disbelief in her eyes. "You. Ran. Out?"

I nodded, happy that she isn't going to kill me. "I ran out as soon David took the last couples first aids I had. Didn't have time to restock."

"You... This is a life and death situation you know? Her injuries could have been grave, but with that power in her soul I doubt it."

I rose an eyebrow after hearing the the word 'power'.

"What do you mean?" I asked. "What power?"

"Remember what dimension we are in Dark? 2-30X, the supernatural exists in this dimension so...?"

I thought hard and long to find the answer for her. But when I did find the answer I muttered it. "Sacred Gears huh?"

Catherine nodded in front of me. " It's very powerful." She hinted.

"It must be a Longinus then right?" She nodded at that. "True Longinus?"

"Nope." She said, rolling her eyes at the very obvious answer. "It has a being living inside the Sacred Gear." Another hint was given.

"Canis Lykaon?" She shook her head. "Boosted Gear?"

Mirth was in her eyes. "Close~" She sang. I chuckle at her change of attitude.

"Divine Dividing?" I guessed the opposite of the Boosted Gear.

"Bingo!" She all but cheered out. Good thing I closed the balcony door behind us or else Veleria might wake up.

I looked inside the house, eyeing the door with a steel gaze where Veleria has resided in. Divine Dividing huh? The Scared Gear that has the inevitable fight between Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing...

"Does she need training?" I asked as my gaze hardened. Catherine nodded. In order to survive in this world, the stronger you are, the more feared you are in this planet. Then again, fear doesn't have to be everything if you side with one of the races. Power means everything, if you don't have the means to use it. Goals are always the way to move forward, even if- my thoughts were cut off when Catherine put her hand on my shoulder, shaking me from my thoughts.

"Are you alright Dark?" A worry look was upon her as she let go of my shoulder.

I nodded, and she sighed a relief. She looked up again.

"Did the Goddess speak to you why you need to protect Veleria?"

"She said something about protecting her because she couldn't protect her at all due to her duties."

Catherine frowned. "Anything else?"

A happy smile took over me. I looked at her.

Catherine had a teasing smile. "Anything to add brother?" She purred.

"Just the fact if this goes well... I... uh... I might get a love interest...?" She had a face of pure shock when I said that. She worriedly looked at me.

"Are you sure? I mean, you did break up with many girls before, and none of them lasted as long as your first girl. To find you happy about this and not scowling like in the past..." She squinted her eyes at me. "Did this Goddess do something to you? You aren't scowling like you used to do."

I scowled at her, which she rolled her eyes at. "There is the infamous scowl." She joked.

I glared at her. She stared back.

She stared to giggle. Infectious it was, I chuckled with her, before it became full blown laughter. Laughing for a couple minutes, I stopped when she suddenly stopped. An awkward silence took over.

"Did she say who is going to be your love interest?"

"No." I shook my head. "But I think I know who though." I looked back to Veleria's room. Catherine followed my gaze and internally screamed happiness.

I looked back, only to find Catherine with a sly smile. "Going for the young one's eh?"

"Does it matter? The rules in this dimension doesn't say anything about age." I replied cheekly.

"Only you will do the impossible." She shook her head. She stood up, walking towards me. She gave me a kiss on the cheek and then patted my cheek. I gave her a questioning glance. "A good luck kiss." She said, opening the door and entering inside.

I look at her retreating form then towards the night sky.

The Goddess sent me to this world without telling me her name, her goals, or even her plans. She just sent me to this world, knowing I would die if I stayed in the place we were both in any longer. But she did looked familiar when I gotten my memories back.

If only I can remember her name...

If only...

Yeah, probably shouldn't have done this at all.

This isn't my first time writing a story, but I'll try to update once in a while. No promises though, as I might be busy with life. But this is my first time writing a story about Highschool DxD. Still need to watch the rest of anime though. Review, but you don't have to though. I'll still update when I can. Hadn't wrote a story in a long time though, so this is a first in a long time. Probably will never complete it, but I'll try before giving up.

This is Exaclibur-kun out!
