BEEP!
BEE-!
"Shut the hell up!" A young man yelled at the alarm clock, slamming his fist on the snooze button. "Shit I can't be late on my first day!" He panicked as he jumped out of the bed and ran into his bathroom. After taking a quick shower, he was standing in the mirror. "Good morning sexy." He arrogantly thought to himself as he looked himself over. Although he wasn't a model, he was sure he'd draw attention at his new school. Standing at 6"1 with a rather athletic build, despite not playing a sport a day in his life, he had bronze skin, golden yellow eyes, black dreadlocks, and a scar going from shoulder to shoulder across his chest. He slowly traced the scar with his fingers before quickly getting dressed in the Kuoh Academy uniform and running to school without even grabbing a bite to eat.
"Phew, made it on time." He thought to himself as he walked onto the campus, drawing the attention of everyone in the courtyard. "Hey, who's the new guy? He's kind of cute." He heard a group of girls whisper to each other, thanks to his better than average hearing. "Yasaka was right, this is way better than being home schooled." He smirked as he continued walking to class. Once he got to his third year homeroom he knocked on the door and waited for a response. "Come in." A female voice invited from the other side. Walking in he was immediately greeting by silence along with hushed whispers. "Class, this is Zenkei Okami, the new student I mentioned yesterday." The teacher, a busty blonde woman appearing to be in her late 20s, introduced him to the class. "Zenkei if you would please introduce yourself and tell us a something interesting about you." She said with a sweet smile. "Well my name is Zenkei Okami, i'm from Kyoto, Japan and I hope to get along with all of you." He said with a somewhat forced smile, the truth is he honestly didn't care whether they heard him or not. Seeing on how he was too busy meeting the stare of a busty redhead girl sitting in the back of the classroom. "Ok then Zenkei, please take any open seat, so we can get started." She told him as she started teaching the lesson.
Walking to an open seat next to the redhead from before. "Is this seat available?" He asked the girl, feeling uncomfortable for some strange reason. "Yeah, go ahead." She said with a gentle smile, motioning for him to sit down. "Hehe thanks, so what's your name beautiful?" He asked her with a flirty smile, causing her to turn a crimson red at the unexpected compliment . "R-Rias, Rias Gremory." She stuttered, causing her cheeks to burn an even brighter red. "A devil huh?So that's why I got that weird feeling from her." He silently mused to himself, though he never dropped his flirty smirk. "Hmm, I'll have to be careful around her." He thought, before realizing she was still talking. "And this is my friend Akeno Himejima." She introduced the even bustier raven-haired girl next to her. "Ufufufu, cute and polite. I like that in a man." Akeno flirted with the teen, receiving a wink in response. "So I guess it's true, beautiful girls do run in packs." He said with a foxy grin, causing Akeno to blush like Rias did previously. As they talked all of class until lunch, mostly with the girls asking him questions and him either answering them or changing the subject when his parents were brought up.
RIIINNNGGG!
"Ok class that's the bell for lunch, enjoy your break then please return on time." The teacher announced as everyone stood up and began to leave the room. "Zenkei would you like to eat with us?" Akeno asked him as he stood as well. "Well see i would, but I have to go buy a bento seeing as I left my lunch at home." The teen in question replied sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck. "No problem, I have enough to share!" Akeno said dragging him out towards the old school building following behind Rias. "Geez, I've never seen Akeno act like this with anyone before." The redhead thought to herself before giggling under her breath. "I wonder how long he'll last." She thought as they entered the clubhouse, with a confused Zenkei following behind them. "Quick question. Where exactly are we?" Zenkei asked as they entered the club room. "This..." Rias started as she opened the door. "is the Occult Research Club." She finished gesturing to the room filled with two couches, a large desk, and a coffee table.
"Occult Research Club?" Zenkei questioned. "Yes, it's a club that studies the paranormal." Akeno explained rather quickly. "No I kind of figured that, but I didn't take you guys as someone interested in the paranormal i guess." He lied, normally he wouldn't but he didn't want them to become suspicious of him. "Oh I see. Do you find us strange?" Rias asked slightly worried of scaring off the first person not afraid to approach her in a long time. "Why would I find you strange? People like what they like." Zenkei replied honestly curious as to why she was so worried. "Probably a princess thing." He mentally shrugged as he took a seat across from a petite white haired girl eating sweets. "Hi, my name is Zenkei." He introduced himself to the girl. Only to receive a nod of acknowledgement from the snow-haired girl. "This is Koneko Toujou, she's a first year." Rias introduced the girl who didn't even spare him a second look. "Shit another yokai? I hope she doesn't smell me." Zenkei mentally panicked, thankful when the girl continued to ignore him and eat her desserts. "Sorry about that. She isn't a very social person." Akeno apologized taking a seat next to him and pulling out her bento. "No need to apologize, I used to be exactly like her." Zenkei explained before looking over at her extended hand, passing him a chocolate bar. "Thanks Koneko." Zenkei smiled taking the gift, before freezing in terror as he heard her next words.
"You smell different." Koneko stated in a monotone that was barely audible, he was sure if it wasn't for his hearing, he'd have missed it. "DAMMIT ALL TO HELL!" He internally screamed as he figured the others would catch on now. "Koneko! That's no way to treat a guest, apologize!" Rias barked at the first year. "I'm so-" She started. "No need for that, it's ok. I don't think you meant any harm by it and it didn't hurt my feelings." Zenkei interrupted, wanting to change the subject as quick as possible. To which Rias just shrugged and moved on asking Koneko where Kiba was. "I don't know, I haven't seen him." Was Koneko's response. Afterwards Akeno and Zenkei started eating and talking about what he liked about his classes. His answer of her caused her to turn red and Koneko to mumble something about corruption and a "perverted trio" what ever that meant. After a failed attempt at convincing Koneko he wasn't a pervert the bell rang, signaling the end of the break. Taking his seat back in class, Zenkei promptly fell asleep only to be awoken what felt like five minutes later by the bell signaling the end of his first day.
Walking home after going to the gym, he realized two things. First was he was being followed. Second was that it was more than the small neko he had met earlier in the day following him. Suddenly a spear of blue light embedded itself into the ground in front of him causing him to flip away in a fashion too skilled to be that of a normal high school student. "Damn, I missed. Oh well, next one won't. Said a figure floating above him with two pitch-black wings. Looking closer at his assailant he saw he was a man in his late 30s with black hair in a grey trench coat and grey pants with a matching grey fedora. "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK DUDE!" Zenkei shouted at his smug assailant, his eyes glowing radiantly and canine teeth sharpened substantially. "Don't worry yourself mutt, you will be dead soon. But I will leave you my name so you have something to think about in the afterlife." The man said slowly lowering himself to the ground. "My name is Dohnaseek." He said landing on the street. "And this..." He started creating another light spear. "... Is your death." He finished before throwing said spear through Zenkei's chest, only for him to burst into smoke and Dohnaseek to receive a strong punch to the jaw launching him back into the front of a store and through the building. "STUPID. FUCKING. CROW." Zenkei puncuated every word by taking a step closer with each, eyes shining wildly with rage. "ALL I WANTED WAS A LITTLE PEACE. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?!" He questioned picking the fallen angel up off of the ground before sending him through another wall and back into the street. Dohnaseek tried getting to his feet only to see a flash of blue and feel an excruciating burning feeling in the center of his back. "I MADE FRIENDS!" Zenkei shouted launching another ball of blue fire at the fallen angel from his mouth, hitting his assailant in the back again, sending the angel into another wall. "I SHOULD KILL YOU, YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!" He screamed before grabbing the angel by his wing and slamming him into the ground. Creating another ball of fire even larger than the last he was about to fry the angel when he saw a flash of red light, followed by a familiar voice. "Zenkei?" Akeno screamed seeing the destruction causing the aforementioned teen to turn and look at her, only to see a look of shock on her face. Remembering where he was he turned back to the fallen angel only to see him flying away. "We shall meet again mutt!" Shouted the wounded angel as he flew away as fast as he could. "Zenkei? What are you?" He heard Rias question before realizing he was no longer in his human disguise, but had his fox ears and tail exposed. "Fuck." Zenkei thought to himself as he knew his cover was now blown and things could not go back to how they were. "Zenkei answer me!" Rias now yelled, hurt that she was lied to by someone she considered a friend. "I will, but can we go somewhere more private first." Zenkei replied hiding his yokai features seeing as they were still in the middle of the street.
