Another new story, this time at a request.
Storylover213 asked me to write this story so thank 'em if you like this and where it goes.
Sitting in class was as boring as ever, luckily I had a friend to help me pass the school day by. My friend, Asahi, was a really upbeat guy and loved by everyone, I was more or less the same as him. We both had the same hobbies, work at the same place, similar height and hairstyle. It's like we were meant to be friends. There was only one problem and something that came as a problem to the world rather than us ourselves, Asahi was a fallen angel and I was a Nekoshou.
Fortunately for us, we both have standard human forms as we both had one parent that was a human. For Asahi it was his mother and for me it was my father. Asahi was able to fully supress his fallen angel side to allow him to be a human at school thanks to a higher up in the Fallen Angel community. My situation was different; I had to be in constant check that my Nekoshou powers or Senjutsuu flowed out at any time because I was 100% Nekoshou despite having a human parent. The reason for that is actually unknown but what is known that is Nekoshou with human parents have an easier time maintaining their human form.
Fallen Angels in general are not that rare, especially in this area for some reason but Nekoshou are very rare and a stronger version of Nekomata, especially male Nekoshou. If you were to go back 10 or so years then the amount of male Nekoshou could reach 10% if we were lucky. Male Nekoshou are rare and have very strong genes, a male Nekoshou is valued greatly by all races of the world because of it.
Nekoshou are a scarce existence in the world right now and I am the last male Nekoshou in the whole world. The numbers of female Nekoshou aren't that much higher either, it's doubtful that there are more than ten but I do know that two are still alive. One is in my own school a year below me and the other is the reason why Nekoshou and Nekomata are incredibly scarce. A female Nekoshou called Kuroka let the Malice from her Senjutsuu consume her and she killed her king, a high-class devil and this caused what the Youkai World know as the 'Neko Purge'.
Since that day many years ago, Nekomata and Nekoshou have been either on the run or seeking asylum of any sort. Luckily I was able to blend in with humans who are my current family, the Hyoudou Family, but this unfortunately came at the price of my parents when they fought back to give me time to escape. Since then I had lived with humans and met Asahi in middle school where I was then helped by him and given a sort of asylum by the Fallen Angels away from the devils.
Even though I have this protection I am still at a slight risk by being in Kuoh Academy, mainly because it is run by devils and its home to the heiresses of Gremory and Sitri along with their peerages. Luckily we are both mainly under their radar but as per our titles in school we gain their attention in one way or another. We are called the 'BL Princes', distasteful name but it describes our interactions with each other pretty well, we are both straight and only interested in women but we have a deep friendship and for that reason, neither of us have been asked out. I understand we aren't as good looking as the true 'Prince' of this school but we aren't as ugly as some of the boys in the school. 'Gin is who you want to fall asleep with and Asahi is who you want to wake up too.' This came from our names, his given name: Asahi which means 'Morning sun' and my true family name: Tsukiyomi which was the name of the Japanese Shinto Moon God. Most of our popularity comes from that but the other half is supposedly how good we look in butler uniforms, a lot of the girls from school frequent the family restaurant that we work at. Then it's the final stem which is another portion of my popularity, Neko. Because the owner of the family restaurant is Asahi's boss he knows that I am a Nekoshou so he makes me either wear a headband with cat ears or forces me to use my own. It's mighty troublesome at times.
"Gin-nya, come on."
Asahi's voice enters my ears waking me from my solitary state in the class room. His constant use as 'Nya' for my suffix has turned into a craze and all the girls refer to me as so or in a variation, Nye, Nyo or just straight out Neko.
"One sec, Asa-kun."
I hurried to pick up my bag as I left my chair out and ran to him while he waited at the door for me. Leaving our classroom, we started to venture through the school building to leave the school. Passing through I can't help but notice us through the windows and our similarities, we have the same short spiked hair but where I have a long bang falling down in front of my left ear he has in front of his right ear and our hair are different colours. His is a golden orange like the sun and mine is shiny silver like the moon. We are the same height, nearly the same weight, same eye colour of hazel though I wear glasses, identical uniform which is the full uniform with the blazer and tie all dressed neatly.
"How is Hyoudou-kun treating you these days?"
Asahi asked me this as we got out of the gates and were starting to walk down the hill with the girls of the school.
"Still not treating me like a brother, it's either Tsukiyomi or 'Adopted Brother'. The perv is both unsightly and annoying, I don't know why I still haven't taken up your offer and live with you."
"Why not Gin-nya? I do live alone after all."
As soon as he said alone, the girls around us turned after listening and saw Asahi wink. Seriously, we do not help ourselves in the slightest.
"I don't know. We go to school together, we work together. The only time I have away from you is at night and every other weekend. Do you not get enough of me?"
Asahi gasped like he was actually shocked and we both stopped at the bottom of the hill to school making the girls around us do the same and stare at us. He took a step towards me and cupped his left hand around my chin before staring into my eyes.
"How could I ever have enough of you? I would enjoy every minute with you whether it's day or night."
I saw his mouth creep up into a smirk before turning serious as he stared into my eyes. I reflected the look he was giving me but I could feel the laughter brimming up inside of me, I couldn't stay serious for much longer.
I raised my left hand to his face and placed it on his right cheek, a second later and he had placed his right hand there helping cover the slight raise of his mouth on that side. My own lips were quivering as I was keeping down my urge to laugh. While this was going on, the girls around us had gone into their fantasy worlds or were taking their usual photos of us in these types of situations.
After staring into each other's eyes for a few more seconds we decided to let go of our faces and start to walk again before we become late for work. This act made the girl's around us very annoyed but knowing the girls of our school, we would probably see them again soon enough.
…
In the dressing room to the family restaurant, Asahi calls out to me.
"Gin-nya, can you feel it?"
Feel it? He must mean the devil aura that's nearby.
"If you are talking about the devil aura then yeah. I'm pretty sure Toujou-san from First Year has been following us."
"More likely to be you, I'm sure she can smell a fellow kitty-cat."
"You really gotta stop calling me that."
I hear a light chuckle come from behind the row of lockers that was behind me. Then out from that row came Asahi dressed in his butler uniform with a golden ribbon bow tie. I then turned round to him as I was tying my silver ribbon bow tie around my collar.
"You know it's safe for me to call you that. It's a trade, I buy you large quantities of special catnip and you allow me to see your ears and tail in private time along with the special privilege of calling the only Male Nekoshou in existence a helpless kitty-cat."
"Even if I was a helpless kitty-cat I'd still be able to claw your eyes out."
I then left the changing rooms quickly and entered the main section of the family restaurant. I took a small notepad and pen from the side along with the menu for the week and took to the room seeing that Toujou was in fact here and sitting alone at a table in the corner staring straight at me. Feeling a small pat on my back, I heaved a slight sigh before making my way towards her.
Once arriving there I got my pen and pad ready before speaking.
"It's nice to see you again Toujou-sama. How may I help you?"
"Sundae … for two."
"Anything else?"
I wrote down her initial order on the first page to the notepad and looked back at her.
"Two lemonades."
As I wrote that down I spoke to her.
"Meeting a friend here?"
"Menu … Read it."
Feeling a little confused I took the menu from my back pocket and looked over it. It seemed that our boss had decided to put in an option to have a meal with your designated butler/maid. This sundae was only available under this option and not the normal couples section, that damn Governor is probably up to something again. Well it is overly-priced compared to everything else.
"…Of course, Toujou-sama. Is that all?"
"Yes."
"Then I'll be back momentarily."
I turned around as I put the menu back into my back pocket and started to walk to the kitchen, I noticed Asahi who was coming out of the kitchen with a large sundae for one with a spoon. At the bottom of the spoon I saw a thin blue stripe meaning he was in the same boat as me.
I gave him a wry grin as I walked towards him and he just winked at me before carrying on.
I came out of the kitchen a few minutes later with 2 glasses of lemonade and a large sundae for two with three spoons on top of a tray. The reason I had three spoons was for contamination purposes, we can't have us workers get anything off of our customers so I had a spare spoon for myself after the one I had for feeding Toujou.
I reached Toujou's table and started to place the contents of the tray down onto the table. After finishing I placed the tray under my left arm and slowly took the seat opposite Toujou. I picked up the spoon with the blue stripe and dug into the ice cream getting a small mountain and pointed it towards Toujou. I brought a practiced smile to my face.
"Say Aaah~."
I felt embarrassed as I said it but didn't let it show and placed the spoon into the open mouth that was in front of me. Once I retracted the spoon from her mouth I decided to speak up.
"So what is a servant of Gremory doing following me around for the past few days?"
My answer doesn't come but instead Toujou picks up her own spoon and starts to tuck into the ice cream.
"You aren't going to tell me? Does a devil mean more to you than a male of your own race?"
Hearing that she was quick to stop her eating and swallowed the bit she had in her mouth before speaking.
"You are like me?"
"That is if my nose isn't failing me. I am the last male of the Nekoshou."
Leaving that to simmer in her mind I started to chug down the glass of lemonade which was for me. I then stood up from the seat seeing that she was in thought and left her to continue with my job where I would end up eating a lot of ice cream.
…
The clock hit 7 and I was in the dressing room again changing back into my school uniform as Asahi leant against the wall next to the door as he was on his break for today.
"Are you going to call me again later?"
"If I have something to talk to you about, what time do you finish?"
"I'll finish around 9. How can you think that way about being able to talk to me?"
"Shut it you. Stop, it's almost like you are trying to encourage those fujoshis in our school."
I heard Asahi's hands clap together for no reason a few seconds before I heard the door knob turning.
"I'll see you later, Gin-nya."
He then closed the door after saying his goodbye. I then put on my blazer and pick up my bag then start to leave through the entrance. I leave the family restaurant after waving to the female customers who all shouted 'Thanks'. As soon as I turned the corner I saw a person I never wanted to see outside of school next to Toujou, that person was Rias Gremory. One of the two devil heiresses in the school and the sister of the current Lucifer.
I wasn't going to go out of my way to cross the road just to pass them but I wasn't above completely blanking them, sometimes at least. I continued on towards them but they didn't look like they'd budge so I stopped a metre away from them.
"Gin-kun, can we talk?"
"Of course not and don't call me by my first name. Devil scum like you are only allowed to call me by my shitty adopted name of Hyoudou."
I started to walk as I finished and just as I was about to pass them, Toujou stuck her arm out and grabbed onto my arm as she started to exert her strength from being a devil and what felt to different, possibly the Rook enhancement I have heard about.
Deciding to go out on a whim, I sent out a small wave of my Senjutsuu and Toujou completely froze up making her grip on my arm loosen allowing me to break away from her grasp and I took a few steps to keep myself at a distance.
"Leave me alone Gremory, you may know what I am but I will not try to seek help from you even if you have one like me in your peerage. Anyway, if I was to go over to the devils I would pick the studious Kaichou over the slutty red-head any day."
I then left after sending a quick glare towards Rias Gremory and then started to run for the bus stop as I saw the bus arriving.
…
Arriving home I came into lights on at the main floor. As I walked into the house I saw Issei along with Okaa-sama and Otou-sama at the table halfway through eating their food. Per usual routine, I go straight to the kitchen and telling them all I was back and start to eat my food at the stool with sat under a black marble counter that was fixed to the wall especially for me. The counter was there as I usually got back whilst they were eating or had finished plus they knew that I didn't get along that well with Issei
It was hard for me to please Issei in any way, whether it was a casual greeting or thinking ahead and putting his favourite anime on record on the days he was out with his two friends. No matter what I did it didn't please him in any way. I can understand that he was angry for the most part but not all the time, the reason being that I'm not that selfish. I put others before myself a lot of the time whether it's at home, at school or just out and about.
As I let out a yawn I heard Issei strike up a small conversation.
"Okaa-san, I won't need breakfast tomorrow."
"Why is that Ise-kun?"
"I've got a date so I'll be eating out."
"To think that our perverted Issei would get a girlfriend before our intelligent and selfless Gin, I wouldn't have expected it."
I feel the same way there Otou-sama but it feels weird to me, there is some sort of lingering aura around him that isn't the one he normally has. His is normally green not this weak white colour.
I quickly finished the rest of my food and took the bowls and utensils to the sink and quickly washed them before going upstairs to take a shower.
…
The clock hit 10 and I instantly dialled Asahi's number which was strangely placed into my numbers for speed dial. The phone barely rang once before being picked up and Asahi's cheerful tone came through the speakers.
"Yahoo Gin-nya, I just knew you'd call me."
"Yeah yeah, I got something to ask you."
"And that would be?"
"Did the governor change his orders placed on Issei?"
Asahi started to 'Hmm' down the phone for several seconds.
"No, it was still to keep away from him. You are the one keeping an eye on him after all, I'm sure the Governor would have told you otherwise via text or something. Why are you asking?"
"I'm not too sure, I may be nothing but I feel like a Fallen has gotten near him … other than you, of course. He said at dinner that he was going on a date tomorrow so I decided to pay closer attention to his aura and I saw a faint white colour."
"Hmm … that seems a little suspicious. I'll ask the Vice-Governor, he'll be sure to reply soon."
I could then hear the loud sound of him typing on his keyboard before the cheerful melody that plays when he sends off a message.
"Well while we wait, answer this. What is your favourite line in Medaka Box? I'm talking about the Anime and Abnormal is included."
Strange way to pass the time but if its anime then I can get in on the talk.
"For me, it would be in the 5th episode of Abnormal with the weapon concealing guy against Zenkichi. Most of his lines are pretty good but for me his best is 'A movie I've been looking forward to comes out soon, so I'll kill you.' The man is a genius."
"Ahh yes, Munakata Kei. He has such an intense want to kill he shows off his weapons to keep people away so he can't kill them. He is a very interesting guy and good in the manga but you can't beat Kumagawa in Medaka Box, he is just an amazing character."
"I wholeheartedly agree there. Someone with great powers that seem like he can't lose but he never will and he always wears a smile."
"Another question then, what's your take on 'Shingeki no Kyojin'?"
That's an easy question to answer when faced with Asahi but if it was the internet then I would hesitate slightly.
"God awful, I lost interest halfway through the second episode. The only reason I continued through the end was so I could help you with your reviews and because of Mikasa, she was a solid character for me."
"It gripped my attention for a little longer than you. I think Mikasa was a great character too but I also liked Eren."
"The protag? Seemed like a whiney bitch to me."
"During the first two episodes yeah but it's a whole growing process. He was a young kid after all."
"Mehh, he is a man."
"Not all men are fearless and selfless like you."
"Has he replied yet?"
"Oh … yeah, he replied when you answered my first question."
I let out a small sigh, seems like Asahi tricked me again into having a lengthy chat about anime. Frankly, I barely have the equipment to watch it. I don't even have a pc here; I just have a touch-screen tablet for anything like that and a games console. I prefer paper when it comes to researching things.
"He said that nothing has changed in orders but Kokabiel has frequented Japan recently."
"So Kokabiel could either be here start a war by killing the sisters of the Maous which might be nice or kill Issei before he can unlock his sacred gear, also kinda nice."
"Well … As devils go both Gremory and Sitri are nice clans. They wouldn't treat you badly, Gremory even took in Toujou to save her from death. You gotta give them credit for that."
"I will give Lucifer credit for that and no one else."
"Yeah."
"I'll be off now, I wanna get everything sorted so I can follow Issei round tomorrow to make sure."
"Please do. The Governor will be happy to get some feedback on the situation. See ya Gin-nya, I love you."
"Stop that you creep. G'night."
That's it for the first chapter, a nice and fun chapter to write.
New story up with the coming of a new pc so i can write again and upload straight away so im happy and in the mood to write.
Stories should be updated quite well these next few days.
Hope you all like this, Ciao.
