I have written fanfiction before, but this is my first on this site. I will be updating bi-weekly at first, and then will most likely update slightly slower as time goes on. I promise I have some more of my own creative saideas ready for the future, so be on the lookout for those and let me know what you think.

--THE VOID--
Present

The Crimson Dragon God opened his eyes and stared into the Void. His home for thousands of years, it was the perfect base for a being as omnipotent as he. He had been born as the protector of the Human Race, but for hundreds of years now, he had not left this realm, preferring to simply observe the events on Earth. This provided the additional benefit of allowing himself to avoid the other, more annoying creatures that called the main dimension their home. These groups antagonized the Dragon God to no end, and so he took up residence here.

Closing his eyes again, The Crimson Dragon God concentrated on himself. Name? Issei Hyoudou. At this point, he had grown far beyond such a simple name, but it was comforting to have such an easy way to think of oneself. I wonder if God gave himself a name? Hyoudou wondered. Either way, a normal name would make what he was planning easier. Appearance? Pulling together a physical form, he took the look of a 17-year-old male, with a well-toned physique. He had sandy brown hair with a classic hairstyle. There was one major difference between him and a normal highschooler, however. Reopening his eyes, one could see the truth. Deep crimson, with snake-like slits for pupils, most cowered at the sight of dragon eyes.

Hundreds of years ago, The Crimson Dragon God would make regular visits to other realms, to ensure that the humans were truly being protected. However, he had been forced to leave, due to the nonstop annoyance that is the three main factions that now squabbled in the main world over human control and territory. The Devils, Fallen Angels, and God's Angels were the bane of his existence. These factions, noticing his exodus, had become more and more ambitious in recent memory, although the vast majority of them did not know why their parents had been so wary in the past. And thus, the secret of the Crimson Dragon God was all but buried.

--THE DIMENSIONAL GAP--
Hundreds of Years Ago

Unknown to him, the factions were not the only beings that noticed his abrupt departure. The Ouroboros Dragon, Ophis had immediately sensed the departure, and, strangely to it, missed the comfort that the Crimson Dragon God's power had provided. Never before have I ever felt…. anything…I must be going soft. The Infinity Dragon sighed, and closed her eyes. Wait… her? Never before had the dragon gendered itself, and to happen so soon after the first feelings… This couldn't be a coincidence…

--THE VOID--
Present

Presently, however, these other beings were not only squabbling in the human world, but also interfering directly into human affairs. Although he recognized that fixing this problem would require him to actually involve himself with these lower creatures, he was slightly fond of the humans and found their naïve habits amusing. For this reason, he decided he would take up a home on Earth, and fix the errors of the factions. I'll become the actual protector for these people, once again.

Concentrating, Issei silenced his power, ensuring that no one would be able to sense his arrival to the mainland, that is, until he wanted them to. He sliced through the dimensional barrier and stepped onto the crunchy brush of a small wood in Kuoh, Japan. It was here that he had decided to take up his slice-of-life, and observe the best way to display himself to the three sects.

Issei Hyoudou felt the warm breeze blow around him, smelled in the strong forest scent, and graced the area with a slight smile. This is exactly why I didn't want to leave this realm in the first place. This area was full of simple pleasures, from the serene forest to the quiet, manmade beaches. Quickly regaining his seriousness, the Dragon God left the forest, and, after "purchasing" a nice house near the center of town and a new car to get him around, settled down, content to observe the local life for now. But things are never that simple.

Issei immediately noted the presence of all three of the factions in the small town, with at least one major devil group and one minor group each of fallen angels and God's angels. His first order of business would be to locate the source of each of these signatures, and figure out the best way to announce himself to them. They must listen to me, he thought. If they don't… then I'll have a bit of fun with them instead.

--TWO WEEKS LATER--

Issei was settling in nicely. With a well-furbished home, slightly secluded from the rest of the houses on the street, this house provided the perfect amount of solitude he wanted. Unfortunately, he had still to locate the actual devil nest that he had sensed when he had arrived to the town. By revealing myself to whoever controls this area, I'll be able to quickly climb the ladder when it comes to the right people listening to me. Although he knew that there would inevitably be resistance to his arrival as the official guardian of the humans, he wanted to avoid as much collateral damage to the zone as possible. If I don't protect these humans, then these intrusive factions will destroy all that the humans have not only achieved, but they will no longer be able to amuse me, and we can't have that.

Also, to blend in, it would be best to enroll into the nearby school. A questioning neighbor wondering who the new resident was would receive a better answer in "He is a solitary student attending Kuoh Academy." rather than no answer at all.

He successfully enrolled, yet as soon as he entered onto the physical campus for the first time, he realized that his choice of school was probably not the smartest decision he had ever made. Kuoh Academy was just a couple of blocks away from his house, but it reeked of devil presence. Almost gagging on the stench, he realized this must be the grounds for the local devil group he had sensed when he first arrived in the city.

Now, standing in front of the classroom for introductions, Issei was already regretting his decision to enroll. I should have just chosen an older form. He thought. But… then I wouldn't have felt this presence, and would have had to manually search the city. Issei sighed, and then formally introduced himself to the class, trying to avoid the lecherous looks of the teenage girls in the class, and the murderous looks of an interesting trio of boys, one of whom he recognized as a very low-ranking devil named Saji.

"Hello, I am Issei Hyoudou and, please, just call me Issei. I've never been one for formalities." He stated in a plain, almost emotionless voice.

As he walked down the row, two girls, with stars in their eyes, passed a note to Issei, which, upon closer inspection, contained the girls' phone numbers. However, before he could take his seat, the three strange looking boys suddenly jumped out of their seats and all but assaulted Issei yelling out, "Who the FUCK do you think you are pretty boy? You can't just stroll in here and steal all the pretty girls away!"

Issei calmed himself from revealing even a sliver of his power for now, a move he wasn't quite ready to make, and spoke in a quiet, dangerous tone. "I'm not interested in any form of relationship with anyone here." His eyes, flickering between normal eyes and the crimson snake eyes of the truth, bore holes into the three boys that had jumped him. "And I don't plan on starting a relationship with a person I do not know, nor have any interest in getting to know."

He stopped moving, and stared directly at Saji, who was becoming even paler, if that was possible. "And if you decide to do something like that EVER again, it will be the last decision you ever make. That, I can guarantee."

The room fell dead silent, and, letting his power leak ever so slightly, everyone in the room, with the exception of the teacher, suddenly felt a chill run down their spine. Without exactly knowing why, all of the students knew that Issei meant what he said, and feared him. Stopping his power flow again, Issei continued, still looking directly at Saji. "I don't ask for special treatment. I ask for no treatment. You stay away from me. If you do not, you will regret it."

"Tsk, tsk, Issei," said Ms. Yoshida, the teacher. "Don't threaten other students! Especially on you first time meeting them. And a student council member at that!" She thought for a second before deciding. "I know! Just so that you know that this behavior is not allowed here, how about meeting for today with the Student Council's disciplinary board, hmmm? I'm sure they'll be happy to give you a tour of the school while they watch you pick up trash across the campus!"

Issei stayed silent, along with the rest of the room. The students were either scared shitless due to Issei's threat, or silently laughing at the teacher's naïveté.

Issei smiled. So this is what I was missing out in the Void. He may have had more peace, but the entertainment this one woman provided by being passive aggressive to Issei was enough comedy to last for another thousand years. The most powerful being you will ever come into contact with, and you threaten manual labor?

"So I guess you'll take door number one then, with that smile on your face! I'll arrange a member to escort you to the student council president's office immediately. I hope you are satisfied with your decision." Yoshida said in a huff, before walking to the room's phone, speaking quickly for a minute before beginning the lesson for the day.

A moment later, Saji, who was clearly panicking about being so close to Issei again, escorted him across the campus, all the way to the base of operations for the Student Council. Stepping into the building, The Crimson Dragon God was flooded with the unmistakable odor of devils. This must be a faction headquarters. He thought. But the trace in the air suggested multiple devil groups on campus, so this must just be one of them. Issei followed the small, terrified boy to the president's door, and waited while Saji knocked.

"Come on in!" The voice from within stated. Saji opened the door, and seemed to be about to follow Issei in, but, on second thought, simply said, "I… it's in … just go in there…. They are already waiting on you …" The pathetic boy stumbled as he ran away from the foreboding figure that was Hyoudou.

The room was a seemingly normal one, larger than it seemed on the outside, but of very simple design. The main furniture was the desk the two female figures were behind, one sitting and one standing over the other's shoulder, and a love seat positioned right in front of it.

Both females, Issei immediately noticed, were devils. They actually possess fairly high power for the low ranking devils that they are. Issei pondered. Together, they still couldn't even match one one-hundredth of my power, but I am intrigued as to their origin. After shutting the door behind him, Issei choose to not move from the doorway, instead remaining in front of the only exit from the room.

The devil sitting down was a very slight, stern looking girl with a small bob of black hair and a pair of half-moon glasses perched upon her nose. She looked up from her paperwork at the new, reportedly combative student that had found himself with detention with the janitorial squad this morning.

She smiled. "Hi there Issei Hyoudou. I'm Sona Sitri, student council president, and this is Tsubaki, my vice-president. I heard you…."

"Shut the fuck up, I have no interest in anything you have to say." She was cut off by a very blunt and very pissed Issei, who had decided that, just to shut up this pathetic devil and her lackey, he might as well reveal himself. "DEVIL" he spat. His eyes were suddenly glowing crimson, and had completely changed from normal eyes to snake slits.

Sona and Tsubaki were not only shocked, but also chilled to the bone. I… I can't feel anything from this boy! Sona thought. No aura, no hidden power, nothing! How does he know? And if he really does know, how can he be so powerful that he isn't afraid to challenge my queen and I?

Issei suddenly relaxed and released a small amount of his power, knocking over vases and blowing back the devils' hair. "Send a message to your superiors. Tell them that the Crimson Dragon God is back, and he's reprising his role as the true guardian of this realm."

He quieted his aura again, before transporting himself back home and relaxing the rest of the day. Who knew this was going to get so exciting so fast? He took the night off, because he knew that he wasn't going to have very much free time in the coming days.

--BACK AT KUOH ACADEMY--
Present

Sona Sitri was panicking. As soon as Issei left, Tsubaki passed out from Issei's overwhelming aura, and Sona almost did herself. After a few moments of pure terror, Sona decided that the best course of action was to consult with Rias Gremory, the leader of the other devil clique on campus. She ran across the campus, thankful that the majority of students were in class, so very few actually saw her flight.

Arriving at the Occult Research Club doors, she wasted no time on pleasantries, instead preferring to simply burst in and startle the three occupants, Rias, the voluptuous red-haired king of the devil group, her queen Akeno, and Koneko, who was lying down on the couch due to a cold. Kiba was in class.

All present members of the club now looked at the commotion from downstairs, just as a very flustered Sona busted through the room's door. The student council president stood, bent over with her hands on her knees and breathed heavily. Running so hard after almost fainting from Issei's flood of absolute power, Sona suddenly burst out.

"We may have an issue," she said. "I… I…" She trailed off and seemed about to burst into tears, the normally stoic devil now reduced to a heaving mess.

"I'm sorry Sona, but everything has been fine here. What is wrong?" Rias Gremory said, concerned about her friend.

"You… you didn't feel it? The massive release of power just a minute ago? It was enough to completely overwhelm Tsubaki, and almost me as well! How could you not notice it?" Unknown to her, Issei had sealed the room when he had shut the door, preventing almost all of his force from seeping from the room.

"No, I didn't feel a thing, Sona, are you feeling alright?" "I think I need to lie down, you can see if your sister-in-law Grayfia could come though…maybe she would know who he is..."
"No." came the simple, almost stoic reply from the king of the Gremory peerage. The student council president was shocked. "Why?"

"We need to keep this to ourselves for now… We should at least figure out who he is first…" Rias had a devious look on her face. She then looked down on her friend and rubbed her back comfortably. "What exactly happened Sona?" she asked.

Sona stood straight up again, regained her typical demeanor, and spoke without any hint of emotion in her voice, seeing the situation clearly now.

"Issei Hyoudou. New student that just enrolled yesterday. Today was his first day, and he ended up in my office for threatening another student, who just so happened to be my new devil, Saji. As soon as he walked in, he recognized Tsubaki and I as devils, and spoke to us as if we were the proverbial roach on the floor, and he was to stomp us. Then… he released a power wave onto the two of us I have never felt before… And then he just disappeared. Poof. Oh, and one more thing. He called himself the Crimson Dragon God. Recognize the name?"

Rias shook her head. "Why would such a powerful entity concern itself with us?" Rias wondered out loud. And, push comes to shove; will he only be here for a fight?

--THE DIMENSIONAL GAP--
Present

The Ouroboros Dragon's eyes shot open, and frantically looked about before calming enough to locate the source of the disturbance. Ophis had felt a presence, soft though it may have been; she hadn't felt in a very long time. The presence had arrived in the human world, seemingly without using any sort of tangible power. Even I inadvertently announce my arrival to every realm I visit. The only reason I sensed this was because I was actively looking for it. Has he grown even stronger? This prospect made the usually emotionless Ophis smile. HE IS READY. Now the only thing left is to locate him. Suddenly, the being released a huge amount of energy in the city of Kuoh, Japan, although to be fair, he tried to contain it. Ophis grinned like the Cheshire Cat, but something else stirred in her as well. Feeling the traces of his power wash over her, made her feel…something that can only be described as…DESIRE. She had wanted to meet with this being hundreds of years ago before he disappeared. Now that he was back, Ophis wanted nothing but to be with him. With power enough to match or surpass myself, the defeater of Great Red, he must be the one I have been waiting for!c

Instinctively, Ophis transformed herself into a form that she felt the entity would find attractive, and, taking the appearance of a 18 year old, grew long, raven colored hair over a naturally curvaceous body. Most obvious about this form, however, was revealed after Ophis opened her eyes. Soul-piercingly black, contrasting her pale skin, would terrify all who look into them.

Here I come my love! Ophis smiled as she leapt through the dimensional barriers, chasing after her chosen one. We will be together soon!

Well that was Chapter One of the Return of the Crimson Dragon God. It took me around two weeks to write, and another couple of days to proof and edit. It's pretty polished, and I tried to mend any plot holes, most notably why Issei is interested in protecting the humans at all. That seemed to be the largest one, but if you see another please let me know, and I'd rather you do it in my PM's because I will see it sooner, and the sooner I see it, the less time I will waste writing the second chapter with a plot hole. R&R, blah blah blah. Let me know how you guys feel about this, and do you want me to continue to remake this storyline.
