Brief Message to start this story off. There will be a picture for this story outside of my profile one.
It will come in accordance with a certain chapter for emphasis.
To live alone is one of those things that practically all teenagers want. We want to be treated maturely as that's how we feel. Not all the teenagers that live alone does so because they want to, some either have to or are just alone as it is. To put them in categories it would be either no parents at all or a single parent who works long hours just to get by. I find myself being put under the category for no parents at all, i'd be in a sub-category of that one. No family left at all. If I was a boy then the people around town or those that knew of me would be more quieter about it all, i'd get the odd gift here and there but as i'm a girl it doesn't work that way. Even to other women, i'm still seen as weak and can't live alone.
The housewives in the apartment complex I live at are at my door everyday, giving me spare change or some fruit and vegetables. Sometimes I even come home to a hot pot with a note on top of it. I'm thankful for all the help but cooking for me was a little too much. The truth about it all is that i'm actually pretty well off, once i've finished high-school i'd have enough money for a college degree and still plenty left behind for expenses for a number of years. I wasn't rich though by any means, I was placed somewhere around the upper class i'd say.
My parents were known for always being pretty eccentric. My father never showing anything other than a smile but was always on the move, he was actually an exorcist for the church and believe it or not it was just a job to him. Him working as an exorcist was on the same level as working behind a till in a convenience store. So I still have his remaining money from that and some of the tools of his trade, Swords of light and Light Pistols, I even have his family blade that was well-known by the members of the church, a blade known as the Phoenix Blade. My mother was someone who was for all intents and purposes a NEET, that was to the outside world and at times us as well. My mother was a magician, nothing fancy but just a magician who'd help out the church from time to time. From her, I have the money she accumulated, gems and trinkets, books and tomes but finally two chunky white bracelets which also functioned like a bracer, it had a blue jewel in the centre and had black accenting. It was my mother's attempt at allowing humans to use Senjutsuu, while it works it will only work for attacking purposes and also not collect malice.
Next would be something that they both gifted me, although it was when I was born and technically not a gift from them. What I was given was a Sacred Gear and from my father's notes it was a mid-level one too that was called 'Aura of the Saint'. It summoned a pair of white skin-tight gloves that held a holy aura, supposedly it could allow the holder the use of basic Holy magic but I haven't figured that out yet other than explosions which i've mastered. It may even be a part of the rumoured Balance Breaker that Sacred Gears have. They went perfectly with the exorcist battle outfit that my father left behind for me, for some reason he had one made for me in a pristine white that my mother enchanted to be stronger and to shift and fit my size. For some reason, my father noted that the thigh-high boots were standard. I don't really see why he needed to mention that.
Because of this, because of what was left behind I started to become more boyish. Now I might have been mistaken for a boy, if I didn't inherit that 'lovely' assets that my mother did. Even at the age I was now, which was 14, I beat the average woman in size. Both top and bottom. Even with that, my name kinda fit in with the style I went for. I was a girl who dressed more boyishly so a unisex name fit me great plus as a fighter thanks to the tools from my father's trade a strong name also fit me which my name was. My name is Kuzuryu Aoi.
…
It was a saturday night and I found myself outside on the trail of some supernatural creatures around and about. Because of who my parents were, I had this sort of knack for sensing things that weren't human and i've always been a bit wary of things around me. Due to all this, I had once again adorned the pristine white church battle outfit and every single time i've been mistaken for an actual exorcist. Well, the weapons and uniform I use doesn't really give off anything else as a plausible point.
White thigh-high boots adorned with white straps and a white, skin-tight unitard with no sleeves. Normally there would be the gloves that come halfway up my bicep but I didn't need them as I had my Sacred Gear activated and these were just normal sized gloves that ended at my wrists, I did though have both of my bracelets on which i've gotten round to calling Blastia as it's what my mother wanted to call them. She was a bit of a game-freak. They also had two magic pockets each so each one could hold a light pistol and sword each. I also had the Phoenix Blade on standby as a Phoenix pin that was connected to the bobble that tied my raven-coloured hair up into a ponytail leaving two bangs to frame my face.
From what I could tell and surmise, the stray that I found myself looking for was at the far end of town just past a park in an abandoned building. I had been there a few times before, each time it sported a new pool of blood on the walls or the floor. It seemed that it was a hangout for Strays. Thankfully it wasn't that far from the apartment so I would arrive after a few minutes.
Walking through the park I found it being as quiet as always. It doesn't matter if it's a town know for being quiet there are always some kind of disturbance going on, whether its car rushing by with music blaring, people partying or just some loud passersby. This park though never seemed to get any of it at night, during the day it's loud and boisterous with kids playing but one the sun starts to descend it goes quiet.
As I walked out of the park and onto the pathway leading up to the abandoned building, I saw a brief flash of red … or is it crimson? Nothing really to fret about. Out of the flash of light came 4 people who quickly walked into the building. Picking up my pace, I started to jog towards the building to catch up with them.
Slowly pushing the large door open, I found myself looking into a dark corridor that ended with a small amount of light filtering in. Though I can't see the four people from before. Walking in through the door, I hear the dull thud behind me, turning around I see that the door closed by itself.
"Looks like this'll be a fun one."
It wasn't the first time a door had closed behind me. They were never the easiest fights for me, luckily the hardest fight was only against two stray devils.
Picking up my speed again, moving back into the jog I could start to hear a racket coming from the room right at the end of the hallway. The closer I got, the louder the racket got and as I stepped into the opening from the hallway into the room I could see why. The four people who had come ahead of me were locked in combat with 6 strays, 4 spider fusions and 2 … honestly don't know what to call them. Half naked women, half multitude of creatures. It was a mishmash of randomness.
Looking to the four people, I saw a blonde guy flashing in and out of view, a beyond beautiful girl with crimson hair, a yamato nadeshiko and a petite girl with white hair … wait, white hair? Koneko-chan? I pushed myself into the room and summoned both pistols to hand and squeezed both triggers once hitting one of the spider fusions in one of it's 8 legs searing right through it.
At the use of the holy bullets, the fighting completely stopped and all of them turned round to look at me. While holding onto the pistols, I brought my right hand up and waved.
"..Aoi?"
So it is Koneko-chan!
"Hey Koneko-chan, why didn't ya tell me you were here? Ah well, I guess i'll help for now."
"We appreciate it."
Without a second even passing from when the red-head replied to me the fighting commenced again. Putting the pistols back into the magic pockets, I swapped out for the Light Blades summoning the handles to my hand. Flicking the switch on them, they hummed into life causing a nearly 60 cm blade of pure light to come out of each. The aura from my sacred gear expands over the handle and enhances the blade.
Turning to my left, I push off towards the spider fusion that I injured upon entrance as it was the only one which seemed to narrow down on me. As we both got closer to each other, I could see that this one had a pair of scythe arms located at the point where the spiders body hits the human torso. Shame this wasn't a female hybrid.
Blocking both of the scythes with my blades, I could feel it force down some pressure on me as it pulled up it's right front leg. As it came towards me, I jump back quickly purely on instinct. Looking at where the leg clashed with the floor I could a small hole where the leg pierced into the ground.
'So everything is razor sharp on this one. As a human, how do I fight this one?'
Running back towards it, I deflected one scythe with the blade in my left hand and locked the other with the blade in my right hand. Spinning the blade in my left hand into a reverse grip, I brought it back across my body cutting off the scythe that I was blocking with the sword in my right hand. As the spider fusion roared in pain, I took my chance to jump back to reposition myself.
'Only doing that much will just enrage it. More erratic and stronger at the same time, I can't clash with anything stronger. Shakkoukan it is then.'
Going back towards it, keeping my body down low I waited till the last second to jump to the right away from the scythe. As I landed, I took a hurried step backwards to narrowly dodge a leg that shot down from above. Dismissing the blade of light from my right hand, I swapped the one in my left back to normal before starting to collect the aura from around my right hand into the centre of my palm.
Pushing myself straight into a run, I ran straight towards the underbelly of the hybrid keeping my sword down low in front of my body. Readying my sword, I brought it straight up once I got within range and was able to clash with the scythe before it could get momentum deflecting it upwards. Arcing my fingers around the ball of Holy energy in my hands, I pushed my right hand towards the underbelly.
"Shakkoukan."
Feeling the need to call it out, as the ball collided with the chest of the hybrid I softly spoke out the moves name alongside the explosion that resounded dealing the fatal holy damage to a devil while blowing it apart and sending a wave of holy energy outwards and heavily depleting what little of my magic I had to begin with.
I panted slightly as I stood myself back up straight, a heavy use of magic like that really does tire me a bit. It's kinda annoying that I can only use that twice, at least it packs a punch to make up for the consumption. Turning around I saw the 3 devils and Koneko-chan looking at me, it was almost like they were waiting for me.
"..Aoi..Exorcist?"
As the red-head smiled at me, Koneko spoke up like usual with barely enough words to make her point coherent.
"Nah, my father was though and my mother did work with the church. I told you I lived alone right? This is just some of what they left behind, I decided to make use of it as I have a sense for these things."
"..Mother?"
"She was a magician, created these bracelets for me." I lifted my hands up to show the bracelets and dismissed the sword from my left hand. "Because of my father, my mother just gave some info on stuff. They were never religious, my father treated it as a 9-5 job in all honesty."
As I replied they looked at me with slightly narrowed eyebrows. It was kinda weird, I gotta agree with that.
"Did your mother create the enchantment on your outfit? Are you an Angel or a Fallen Angel?"
Oooh, this time the red-head talk. What a noble sounding tone.
"Yeah, Okaa-san did that for me. Nah, 100% human. The gloves are my Sacred Gear. Gives me a Holy aura around my hands and I can use basic holy magic with it, according to what my father left behind it also means I can wield Holy Swords."
At the words 'Sacred Gear', the eyebrows took on a look of fascination like she had hit gold. What she said a second later was proof of that.
"Will you join my peerage?"
I could only smile lightly at her enthusiasm, the fact that she was so outright with it was good to say the least. She coulda been the type to wait and scheme for it. As Koneko kept her stoic expression, the Yamato Nadeshiko covered her small smile with her right hand and the blonde guy just stood their plainly, his expression was just a little off.
"Peerage? That's your reincarnation system right? You use … shogi or was it chess?"
"Yes, that's right and we use chess. So how about it? A Knight piece, it means you'll become really fast."
I can't really pinpoint it but that sounded a little childish. I mean, I don't see why not but if I remember correctly then a peerage is basically a squad of servants designed for fighting but still is a servant so living arrangements would change? Perhaps not, Koneko does go to school with me and the uniform she is wearing is from Kuoh academy. That would mean they are a bit more lenient I guess, I wouldn't expect to see a devil out in the human world unless they are stray or are recruiting.
Guess I can only ask to see.
"Peerage are essentially servants right? As long as I can stay living where I am then I don't see why not."
"Of course, you can live where you wish. I'm the heiress to the Gremory clan, we are known for our kindness after all."
Yeaaah … I guess they are a devil clan or something.
"Then sure, I will become your Knight."
"Great. Seen as you inquired about your housing, we will wait till you are home to do the process. Here."
She takes out a small piece of paper from her pocket and pushes it towards me. As I take it in my own hand, I could see that it was a leaflet with a magic circle on it. A summoning paper? Would this be for those contract things? I should probably read through my parent's notes again.
"When you arrive back, just call for Koneko and we'll come to see you."
Looking up at her and then straight back down to the paper, I nodded to her in reply. Looking back up I saw the four of them disappear in a flash of red light, leaving me alone in the slightly creepy abandoned building with blood splattered everywhere.
'Thanks for that devils.'
Giving the room I was in a brief final look over, deeming it empty save for myself I decided to leave and return home.
…
Upon returning to my apartment, I dismissed my sacred gear and took out the paper-contract thing from the clip on the inside of the blastia around my left wrist. Not really knowing what to do with it I decided to just improvise.
"Koneko, i'm ready for you."
I waited for a few seconds but I got nothing from the paper.
"Koneko-chan, I desire your presence."
Another few seconds passed by and I got nothing. I was stumped and I didn't like it. Taking my phone out from the clip in the blastia around my right wrist, I unlocked it and sent a text to Koneko to tell her I was home and that I tried the paper but nothing happened.
A few seconds later and a response came from Koneko, I knew it was her from the special ringtone i've got of her. It turns out that she is a Youkai, a Nekoshou at that so I got a recording of her purring when patting her. Good job I only set it as my ringtone for her or she might of heard it and stole my phone to delete it. Opening up the text my happy thoughts stopped just as a red flash came into my room.
The text read '...Are you stupid?' It hurt me more than it should have.
What appeared out of the red flash was my favourite neko companion and the happy-smiley red head from earlier. Still though, even after first glance those breasts are pretty impressive.
"I was slightly surprised to hear you failed with summoning us."
Please be quiet red-head.
"Well, I heard it was a desire thing so I guess my personality got in the way. I'm pretty lackadaisical."
Still though, I'm a little hurt by all this. Why couldn't Koneko just give me a fluffy kitty reply.
"Where would be the best place to do this? It would be preferable for you to lie down."
"In my room then."
Turning on the spot, I led the two girls into my bedroom. My pretty bland bedroom, save for the middle school sailor uniform on a chair and the table in the corner which held a mirror, brush and hair dryer. The bed though was one thing I didn't skimp out on, who knows what it was called but it was huge and had one of those roof things … canopy I think. Gotta make the girls I bring home feel like princesses after all.
Lying down on my bed, the red-head sat down on the edge of my bed and summoned a dark red horsey or should I say Knight Piece to hand. Once it dropped into her hand she placed it over my chest.
"In my name, Rias Gremory, I command you stand by my side and wield your blade in my name and for my honour. Relish in your new life as my Knight."
I didn't really feel anything as the piece started to react with my body although that was a slight brief second before the piece itself actually started to pass into my body. Looking down at it, I was a little weirded out … I mean it didn't cut into me and there was no blood flowing. It was weird.
The energy that started to pulse into my body was definitely dark in nature but it felt much more welcoming than the holy aura from my sacred gear. Would that mean I'm meant to be a devil? Well … being a lesbian probably points to that but how would the sacred gear now? That'll be pretty creepy if it's sentient and seen the things I've done with other girls … or should I say experimented?
I felt myself fading in and out of consciousness with my eyes drooping as the piece started to change my body. I could tell that the jackass in the Phoenix blade was doing half a job at keeping me up and about. Gonna have to verbally abuse the living skittle later on.
When the process came to an end I felt an odd sense of value in life, whether that was the servant contract or not I don't know. It was odd, it was like I had made an irreplaceable friend through doing absolutely nothing. I'm not sure how I wanna go about dealing with it. Either way, i'm not really someone who is serious nor someone that is particularly respectful. I'll give someone room when upset or angry but I don't really have respect for my elders, I really only use it loosely as per society forces you to here.
"You are a special one, aren't you?"
"I'll take that as a compliment. I've always been different."
That was the truth, I was a special individual. My mother and father made me this way just by giving birth to me, something as simple as that was what made me special. Even though I was just special to them at the beginning.
Moving to sit up I see Koneko leaning against the wall next to the door to my room with a bag on the ground next to her. It was just a simple duffle bag but I could tell that the meaning for it being there was much more. A duffle bag would resemble a few-night stint here but the feeling i'm getting is more long term.
"Well then, Aoi-chan, We'll talk more tomorrow after school."
I didn't really give a response to her, I just looked at the red head … Rias Gremory for a few secods before she decided that I had heard what she said and disappeared away in yet another red flash with the smile still firmly placed on her face.
"Koneko-chan, I take it you are to live here now?"
A nod was her response.
"Ok, I know you aren't fussy for food so that's ok plus the housewives round here give me food from time to time anyway. The only other thing i'd cared about for a visitor is that I only have 1 bed as you can see. That's ok right?"
"..No molesting."
That's a little mean, though spot-on for what I normally would have in mind.
"Your punches hurt too much, I know not to try you again."
I just playfully waved my hand to push the issue aside. Taking a few seconds to look around the room I see that it won't be so scarce anymore, that is if she decides to use a wardrobe for her things. I know from my mother's books about external dimensions for things. Supposedly the devils can create much larger ones outta nothing than humans. Really puts the two pockets on each of my blastia to shame.
Koneko's point though was true, what I do could be described as molesting by onlookers.
This whole business with the devils and the increased things to kill around town is really weird. It's like the world specifically chose this year to send it down the shitter. More life or death situations with those supernatural beings and the once All-girls school going co-ed. It's most definitely blasphemy, it's like some above being knew my reasons for wanting to go there full well.
"G'night."
There is one thing I can say to the above being and that is 'Fuck you.'
...
Little did I know that the above being was my master's father.
First time writing with a female OC but not my first time writing from a woman's Point of view, still i'm a little nervous with it.
There isn't many female leads in the DxD section and for good reason really, it's a harem so unless i genderbend like a certain author there isn't many i can put in the 'harem' which there is going to be one. Point courtesy of EternityDragon again. If you don't like Yuri then blame him.
I haven't got the relationships down exactly but like it says in the summary Koneko is a definite. Loli Kitty, it's hard to bring myself to not have her there. If you want to suggest a character then go ahead, of course they have to be female and cannot be Rias, Akeno or Xenovia. Also unlike my other stories of late, there is no Rias-bashing. Of course, it was never really bashing her from my point but the characters. They had reason not to like her so yeah, there will be no hate here but there will be teasing. So that'll answer why Rias can't be in the Harem because Issei will still be in this story.
Now i want to say something about her power level in comparison to my other stories. Yes, she'll be strong but she won't be as strong as Issei is in the latter half of Canon so far. She will seem strong at the start but her power level will start to become more normal for the series as it goes on. And when everyone gets into the proper groove, She'll be inbetween Kiba and Issei in the group but it'll also work differently in those regards as well.
For those who see this and frequent and my stories, if you are wondering how things are going with my stories then visit my profile. I've actually made something of it now so there is some information and in the coming days I will put more detail on the progress of my stories.
That's all for now. Hope you like this female OC, Ciao!
