'HI'- Is Thinking or Thoughts.

"HI"-Is Speaking or Talking.

Chapter One: Meeting New Friends or Foe's?

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

The alarm clock sounds immediately awaken a young man named Blake Travistine from his slumber who is wearing a white T-shirt and black boxers. Blake then places his hand over the alarm clock, making it stop its ringing noise from echoing inside his head.

"Ugh, what time is it?"

He then looked at the time on his alarm clock and saw that it was 6:30 am. He then started to get a little agitated by the fact that he hates waking up early in the morning unless it was important but he then realized why he woke up so early.

"Oh yeah, I have school today. Damn, I completely forgot about that. Oh well, time to get ready then."

And with that, Blake jumped off his bed and started his usual morning routine which was washing up and putting on his clothes for school. He wore the standard male uniform of Kuoh Academy with a black beanie that had blue flames outlining the beanie and his school bag. He then started to exit his room by climbing up a pair of stairs which was in his room and then pushed open two large doors that lead to the outside world. Once outside, he closed the two doors and started heading inside the church in which he lived in for only about a week after his arrival to Japan from America.

He opened two larger sized doors that were about three times his size and saw the interior of the church. The main area was filled with wooden benches that were on separate sides of the room, creating a large aisle in the middle of them. There was also a large glass chandelier above the entire room that was glistening beautifully. The windows were painted vividly with images of events and people from the holy bible with many different colors. The walls were painted white and the floor carpet was blue and there stood a podium at the end of the room with a wooden statue of the holy savior known as Jesus Christ.

Blake then heard footsteps echo through the room and saw a man wearing a priest uniform with glasses and smiling coming from another room. This man had grey hair that was combed all the back and was holding a larger version of the bible with him, he was a middle aged man at around his early 50's.

"Blake, breakfast is ready now so you can go eat it."

"Aren't you going to eat Father Hisaowa?"

"No need to worry about me Blake, after all we can't have you miss your first day of school now can we?"

"Thank you Father."

Blake then left the main area and headed towards the church kitchen area which was separated with a small but big hallway. After Blake passed through the hallway he finally managed to reach the church kitchen and opened the doors leading inside. The kitchen was by no means small but when compared to the main area of the church then it was small but it had a large steel fridge with two gas stoves, two sinks, and with a microwave too. The kitchen was large enough to have a small area big enough for a family sized dinner table of five people in a circle. There was also a small island in the kitchen where you can just place things on it like the white marbled counters. The cabinets were made of wood and the floor was made of white tiles.

Blake could never figure out how the old man could get the money to make both the church and the kitchen look so amazing but he didn't have time to think about it because when he checked his watch, he had only about fifteen minutes to eat and go to school. Blake then made a dash for the breakfast food and tried to eat down as much as possible but as he consumed more food at a fast rate, he immediately received a shock throughout his entire body making him collapse down onto the floor.

'Damn it, not now of all times!' he thought as he was struggling to recover from his painful shock. He then looked at his watch and saw that he only had ten more minutes left until school began. He immediately left the kitchen and went through a door that lead to outside and ran like hell to go to school. Although it was his first day at school, it had begun about a week before after he arrived to Japan from America. The reason why he left America to go to school in Japan was because he had orders to go there and just be stationed there from the holy church.

You see, Blake was no ordinary person and he knew that well enough to know the existences of angels, devils, and fallen angels. Blake was an orphan who was abandoned at a church in America and grew up in a religious and rebellious life style. It wasn't until one day his church was mysteriously attacked by a rogue devil and his foster parents who were a priest and a nun were killed. In anger and rage, Blake released his sacred gear and killed the devil with ease and once he killed it he went unconscious until he was rescued by operatives from the Holy Church in America. The people who were in charge saw the capabilities of the small boy of only seven and trained him to be an operative under their command and so trained him to become a killing machine until they found out about his flaws when he was only ten and some other secret.

Over the years when he started killing devils, sinners, and fallen angels, he started to become insane. He saw hallucinations and had terrible nightmares after killing dozens of devils and fallen angels alike nonstop. It wasn't until one mission where he had killed a large group of rogue devils and suddenly went berserk through the whole entire town in which he was deployed in. It took the combined strength of over five elite operatives to incapacitate him and bring him back to HQ. After being tested on by medical professionals and also priests, they confirmed that his sacred gear was causing him to lose all sense of his mind and making it warped after killing so many people.

After some months of recovery, Blake was back into killing again but this time he was under heavier supervision until he can control and perfect his sacred gear and not lose become insane. More years went by and he earned many nick names such as "The Devil's Saint", "Hell's Crusader", and "Blood Angel" and there were even rumors spreading that he was a devil that was tamed by the Church but he never cared for false rumors. When he reached the age of 17, he was then sent over to the Far Eastern Branch of the Church and was ordered to be stationed there under the supervision of Father Hisaowa and that he must go to a special school called Kuoh Academy.

Back into the present, Blake has reached the gate of Kuoh Academy and is now running towards his first period class. Blake then checked his wrist watch and saw that he only had a minute left before the bell rings and he would be late.

"I CANNOT BE LATE TO CLASS!"

Blake kept on repeating the same sentence over and over until he saw his first period class in his sights, he felt a moment of relief but then saw a hallway clock reaching the first period bell which was going to be in ten seconds. Blake then ran as fast as his legs would allow and he almost reached the door but he only had a second left to get in class or face a terrible punishment.

"FUCK IT! IT'S ALL OR NOTHING NOW!"

Blake then dived through the classroom doors and face planed against the teachers podium. Everyone in the room was either shocked or laughing but Blake tried to ignore both the sounds and the pain. Eventually Blake stood up in front of the class and the bell had already passed once he dove inside, the classroom teacher was giving him a mean look.

"Please do not dolphin dive in my classroom, it is very rude to do so."

"I am sorry sensei."

The teacher then made a smile and looked back at the rest of the seated classroom.

"Class, this is a new transfer student who came from America, let's all give him a good year!"

The class then started clapping and Blake felt a little out of place but nonetheless felt happy that he was in his class on time because he knew that if he didn't then he would get the shock of his life which he really didn't need.

"Alright then, please introduce yourself."

Blake first looked at each one of his classmates carefully, when his eyes lay upon a male classmate of his, he felt something evil coming from him. The male classmate was at the same height as him, he had light eyes, brown hair, and wore the school uniform but the male student also looked at Blake for a moment and looked away. When Blake looked at him as the other male did, he saw fear or hesitation in his eyes, Blake then made a small smile.

'So that guy must be either a devil or fallen angel then, seeing as how he had hesitation or fear in his eyes he must be a low class one or very weak. Well since I was just ordered to be stationed here I'll just let him be, as long as he refrains from hurting people."

Blake thought to himself quietly until he heard someone talking to him.

"Umm, aren't you going to introduce yourself?"

It was his sensei giving him a confused look, lake then realized he forgot to introduce himself to the classroom and so felt a little embarrassed.

"My name is Blake Travistine, I came over from America because of my current occupation, and I hope that we will all get along with each other."

The class then became surprised by the fact that Blake said he came to Japan because of his current status and occupation. Blake heard many of them whisper that he was probably rich or from a large company and is the CEO of it which were all false.

"Alright everyone, that's enough now! You can all ask him questions after school is over! Blake, your seat will be next to Issei's."

She then pointed at an empty seat that was next to the same person who looked at Blake with fear. Blake then made a small smile and then walked towards the empty seat while thinking to himself.

'So his name is Issei huh? Well I hope he won't have to be put out of school permanently for reasons unknown.'

Blake then sat down in his seat and soon the teacher began talking about the day's lesson, Blake looked at Issei for a brief moment and saw that he was staring outside the window looking as if he was daydreaming. He then saw his face change to a happier look which made Blake cringe out a little and then Blake looked away and just paid attention to the lessons.

The whole entire day was nothing but lecture after lecture and soon Blake was getting pretty tired of it all, when he tried to sleep through a lesson though he would get a sudden jolt that would immediately wake him up and pay attention in class which sometime scared other students who were next to him. A bell rang signaling that the school day was over and that all students could go home for the day, Blake packed his bag up and pulled it over his shoulder and started walking through the hallway to exit school. Suddenly Blake felt a chill down his spine and looked around the hallway to find Issei walking with another person.

This person was a male student, he had a handsome face, with blue eyes, and blonde hair but as they were walking, women began whispering and talking to each other as they were walking like "Why is Issei with him?", "Kya~ its Kiba!", and some other junk that Blake ignored except for the name.

'So that blonde guy is Kiba then? I'm guessing he must be another devil or fallen angel then. Well since their walking together going somewhere, I guess they must be meeting up with other people like them then. Well since I'm here already and they're going to their other friends then I might as well take care of a problem before it gets any bigger of a nuisance.'

Blake then followed the two to a structure that was the old school house after school, Blake followed closely to them but made sure that he hid himself well enough and was far from them so that they won't notice him. The two went inside the school house and Blake stopped only a few meters away from the entrance while hiding behind a tree.

'Well this was easier than I thought, I just go in there, spy on them, and slip away but I have to take care of to be careful of course.'

Blake then walked out from behind the tree and went to the front door and opened it and went inside. The corridor was long and the interior was colored in crimson red, including the carpet. Blake then spotted a large door at the end of the hallway that had yellow tape all over it and he also spotted a door with noise coming from it. Blake first sneaked up to the door emitting noise and placed his ear on the door and then heard voices of many different people talking to each other and then he heard a showering noise.

'What the hell, who the hell is taking a shower right now?"

Blake placed his eye through the door lock and peeked through to find out what was happening inside but unknown to Blake; he saw a bathtub with its curtains closed but he saw a figure just well enough to see the outlines, including the breasts.

'OH NO! I MUST LOOK AWAY NOW!'

But it was too late; Blake then received a large shock through his body he tried to yell out in pain but immediately covered his mouth from the shock and muffled it out. Suddenly the door was smashed open by a flying couch but Blake managed to avoid the hit and immediately jumped out through one of the hallway windows.

'SHIT! BETTER MAKE A RUN FOR IT!'

He then heard a large noise and looked behind him and saw that there was a large tree coming right at him and it was close enough to where he didn't have enough time to dodge or outrun it.

"FUCK! WELL THERE'S NO CHOICE NOW!"

A blue flame then consumed both of his hands and he turned around and stopped running to confront the tree. The flames then disappeared and there were two black trench knives with the knuckles having small sharp spikes on each of them and the blades were large and sharp. Blake then slammed his fist against the tree when it almost reached him, the tree was shattered into pieces and only splinters and small pieces of wood were left of the tree. He then heard a rumbling noise coming from above and he immediately barrel rolled out to dodge what was incoming and a lightning struck where he once was. Then he felt a killing intent behind him and immediately turned around and blocked a sword strike from hitting his face, he then looked at his attacker and saw that it was Kiba who he was following earlier. Kiba then jumped away and then started to summon more swords from the ground and then pulled out a large menacing one but it didn't affect Blake at all.

Blake then looked behind him and saw two women standing before him. One was taller than the other and had a long black hair made into a long ponytail. She was beautiful and had a very attractive figure that almost sent a shock to Blake. The other woman was smaller compared to her in both height and in figure but she had unique yellow eyes and short silver hair which reminded him of a cat. Oddly enough though, the taller woman had a smile on her face while the smaller one was just blank like a white chalkboard with no emotion.

"So I see you're alive still and that you possess a sacred gear as well. So tell me, why were you sneaking up on us?"

A woman the same height as the black haired woman appeared between the two; Blake almost received a shock because she also had a very attractive figure and charm to her. Blake mostly focused on her red crimson hair and here radiant eyes too.

"Well aren't you going to tell me who you are?"

Blake was hesitant for a moment but calm down soon after but he had a train of thoughts and questions run through his head, who was this woman and her friends, is she a major threat, and so on. Blake then also saw Issei stand right next to the crimson haired woman and he had a shocked look to his face but then he also saw something on his arm, a large red spiked gauntlet with a large green crystal in the middle and Blake realized that Issei possessed a sacred gear like him.

"Buchou be careful! This man is very dangerous! I only met him this morning but he had a very dangerous aura to him!"

"Well I can sense that too Issei but something feels very strange from that man. Akeno, can you sense it too?"

"I can Buchou but I can't see any dark aura from him though. Do you think he might be one of those?"

"Well we can't rule out that possibility but he might just only posses just the sacred gear but either way though we can't have him keep spying on us so we have to take him back and do what we can to get answers."

"And what if I refuse?"

The two women then turn their heads towards Blake who was still standing there, he had a menacing look towards them but the crimson haired woman just only smiled a bit.

"Then we would have to destroy you if you don't cooperate, so you either come with us and explain everything you know or we have to eliminate you, so please choose wisely."

The crimson woman then smiled again and Blake only stood motionless to think of his choices. He has to choose either to back down and goes with the woman to talk with her or he fight them to the death. Blake stood there pondering on what to do until the crimson woman took a few steps forward.

"So tell me, do you happen to be with the Church?"

Blake was silent but he thought that he might as well talk to get some information on who they are and what they want.

"Yes, I work for the Church as an agent."

"Do you have any experience in killing devils or fallen angels?"

"If I didn't I wouldn't be standing here today."

The crimson haired woman stood silent and so did the rest of her comrades. Blake then thought that there was no way they could be regular humans or any fallen angel so he then decided that he was confronted with devils and the woman talking to him was apparently their leader.

"Tell me one last thing then: are you an angel?"

That was one question that Blake hesitated to answer because he didn't even know it. He never sprouted any angel wings or had a halo obviously and he never knew his heritage or family so he went with another answer that they would hopefully accept.

"No, I'm not an angel."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm positive."

The crimson woman then looked at Blake with a serious look as if she was examining him and Blake did the same as well but trying to avoid certain specific areas. After a few minutes passed, the crimson haired woman then looked at all of her teammates and smiled.

"Well it looks like you are telling the truth then."

She then smiled at Blake and bowed her head down and looked back at him again.

"My name is Rias Gremory and these are people of my peerage."

She then began to point at each one of them individually.

"The one with many swords in the ground is Kiba; he is my knight, the woman on my left is Akeno who is my queen, the one on my right is Koneko and is my rook, and the one behind me is my pawn Issei."

They all then got back together on a little group behind the crimson haired woman. Blake saw that Issei had a worried face, Akeno had a smile on hers, Kiba had one too, and Koneko just had a blank face as usual. Blake then made a small sigh and made his sacred gear disappear in a ball of blue flames and then vanished. Rias then walked forward to Blake and Blake himself did nothing but just standing there and looked as a magnificent beauty come to him. Once Rias came closer to him, she stopped only a few feet away from him and took an even closer look for only one minute and smiled again.

"For a man who is working for the Church, you sure are friendly to devils."

Blake was blushing only a little bit where you only had to be next to him to notice,

'Damn, that cuteness is just not fair at all.' he thought while looking at Rias and her charms.

Blake then looked away from Rias for a moment to get his mind focused on the task he had on his mind.

"Well since I answered all your questions Gremory, I need to ask you some questions too."

Rias then made a little blush.

"Please don't call me by last name, it makes me feel old, just call me Rias."

"Well ok then Rias, I need to know: are you a devil?"

"Well of course I am and so is everyone else here."

Everyone then sprouted their devil wings from their backs except for Issei which Blake thought that he must have been recently reborn a devil then. Rias then looked at Blake with a smile which made Blake blush again but he managed to regain his composure.

"Now tell me Rias: what are you devils doing here at a school like this?"

"Well umm…oh that's right, you never told me your name?"

"Oh sorry about that, my name is Blake Travistine."

Suddenly Rias had a shocked look to her face but then turned into a serious gaze.

"So you're the one who's killed hundreds of devils and fallen angels in America then? I heard about you through a report I received from a friend of mine over there. I never expected to actually meet you seeing as you were in a different country."

"Well I assure you Rias; I'm not here to kill devils or fallen angels unless I have to or ordered to so you have nothing to fear, well for now."

"What brings a member of the church from America to Japan then?"

"They never told me. Well they never tell me a damn thing those lazy bastards."

Blake then felt a large shock going through his body as if he was hit by a tazer and hit the ground, Rias and everyone else had a surprised look on their face when she saw Blake fell. Blake then managed to stand up and shook his head to get his mind focused.

"Are you alright Blake?"

"Yes I'm fine."

"What just happened to you?"

"It's my sacred gear called Penance, I basically can't do any sins small or large or I risk getting divine punishment from it but I get used to it but it's been a while since I used my sacred gear or done any sins so the shocks are sort of new to me but I'm fine."

"So if you sin then you receive punishment? Like what kind of punishments?"

"Well it varies from small things like a small shock to even bigger ones like nausea or large headaches but there temporary but I rather not do any heavy sins since I don't want to end up getting killed or worse tortured by my own sacred gear."

"Wow it must feel like a burden or a curse with that sacred gear."

"Sometimes it is but its how you use it and the experience with it that helps but in summary as long as I don't do any heavy sins or large amounts of sinning then I should be fine."

"Wait then what about earlier when you were spying on us? We didn't detect you until Koneko heard some strange sounds from the door. What made you make so much noise?"

Blake then looked away and blushed heavily enough for Rias to notice in which she also blushed too and smiled.

"I see, considering that your sacred gear is a burden it's understandable. So what was your question again Blake?"

Blake then turned his head around to look at Rias but without blushing and more serious.

"I wanted to know why devils like your group are doing at the school. I just need to know if you're going to cause any trouble or anything worse for the students here."

"You don't have to worry about anything Blake, we won't cause any harm or trouble to the students here but by the way, have you met the other devil group?"

"The other group, so there are more of you here then?"

"Well yes, the other group is the student council but I can assure you they won't cause any harm to the students here."

'Hmm, I didn't know that there was another group here but if Rias says that they won't harm them then I'll believe her.'

Blake just stood there thinking to himself while Rias and the others were just standing there looking at him. They all thought that he was a little weird but friendly since he hasn't tried harming them. Rias then started to turn around and walk back to the school house and everyone else followed her while Blake looked at the group and was going to say something until Rias turned.

"You don't have anything to worry about Blake; I can assure you that but just know that I won't tolerate any harm towards my peerage."

Rias then made a small smile towards Blake and turned around to walk back towards the school house while Blake just made a shrug with his shoulders and left the school area with his bag. Meanwhile, Rias and Akeno started a conversation while walking towards the school house.

"So how was he Buchou?"

"He seems friendly but we cannot underestimate him at all, he has a very powerful aura to him so be careful with him Akeno."

"Hey Buchou, what was with that guy falling down to the ground earlier?" Issei asked in the conversation.

"Oh, it's just his sacred gear called Penance, he told me everything about especially whenever he makes a sin and he receives divine punishment for it." Rias smiled as she was pointing her finger out.

"So he get's divine punishment whenever he sins? How exciting!" Akeno said while licking her lips.

Meanwhile…

Blake was walking back to the church until he felt a cold shiver go down his spine.

'Why do I have a feeling that I'm going to get hurt a lot more than usual?' he thought while walking to church even faster.

Back to Rias and her group.

'Oh no, I wonder what she's thinking about doing with Blake?' Issei thought to himself with fear. He then thought up of some images of Akeno sexually harassing Blake and then Blake getting hit with lightning every time he was harassed.

'Ah man I would like to get sexually harassed by Akeno even if I was hit by lightning, it's worth it!' Issei thought as he made a large smile to himself in which Rias made a small sweat drop.

'Well Issei seems to be enjoying himself but we can't rule out the fact Blake killed hundreds of devils and angels alike so we have to be cautious around him but he seems to be friendly so we will only just stay put and watch what happens next.'

Rias and her group finally make it back to the old school house and start off their agenda while Blake stays in his room at the church for the night.
