Chapter 1
Death is...an odd occurance. It can take a long ass time for it to happen or it can happen in an instant. Children, adults even the elderly, no one is safe from it cold embrace. Some people call it fate, that when you die it was just your time to leave this world but some people are taken before their time.
"I'm sorry." A girl was sobbing. "If you never met me then this wouldn't of happened. I can tell your still breathing so I will be quick. Do you want to live again?"
A weak but firm nod.
"I'm sorry but this is the only way. For you to live again a trade must be given."
A flash of crimson and then...darkness.
In a normal two story house slept a teenage man, around the age of 17.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
He was also rudely awoken by an alarm clock that was resting on the bedside table. The young man groaned and slapped his hand down on the snooze button. He groggily sat up and ran a hand through his silver hair and wiped the sleep out of his ice blue eyes. He blinked owlishly sung his legs out of the confines of his bed and walked to over to a door that led into a bathroom with a shower. He walked over to the sink and went through his morning routine of showering, brushing and yawning. After he finished all of that he walked out and over to a pile of folded up clothes that consisted of a black blazer, a white long-sleeved button up shirt, a gray short-sleeved under shirt, black trousers and black shoes.
This was the standard male uniform for Kuoh Academy, he was a new transfer student from England but he was born in Japan so he understood the people here.
After he finished getting dressed he walked over to the drawer that was placed next to the door and grabbed his Iphone and headphones, a black watch and the only piece of jewlery he would ever wear, a wolf-tooth necklace that was gifted to him by a friend when he lived in Japan for ten years. He walked down the stairs and grabbed some keys that were hanging off of a coat rack.
"I'm off now." The teen yelled into the empty house and locked the door but he swiftly opened it to grab his bag and a map that had directions to Kuoh Academy then re-locked it.
The young began to grumble as he was now lost. He lost the map half an hour ago when an unnaturaly strong gust of wind blew it out of his hand and, in his panic, began to chase after it which led to his current predicament. He began to scratch his head when he saw a girl with raven, black hair in a ponytale that reached down to her legs. She was also wearing the female Kuoh uniform.
'I wonder if she can or will help me.' The young man thought to himself before deciding to say fuck it and ran over to her. "Excuse me miss. Can you help me with something."
The girl turned around and the young man couldn't help but stare at in her in awe. She had a voluptuous figure and violet eyes.
"Yes. What do you need?" She asked him. The young shook out any dirty thoughts that he was having and focused on his task.
"Well I recently moved her from England and enrolled in Kuoh Academy," He gestured to his uniform. "and I'm kinda lost so I was hoping if you would help me find it."
The girl stared at with for a few seconds before closing her eyes and smiling sweetly and nodding.
"Of course, after all it's a senpai duty to care for her cute kohai." She turned around and gestured for him to follow. He jogged to catch up to her but they were both oblivious to the pair of glowing yellow eyes watching them.
As the pair walked they made idle chit chat.
"I don't think I ever told you my name." The man said to the beauty. He then moved in front of her, grabbed her hand and bowed. "My name is Shiro Katsura and what is the fair maidens name?" He politly kissed the back of her hand which caused the beauty to giggle.
"Ara ara. Aren't you sweet. My name is Akeno Himejima." Shiro released her hand and stood back up.
"Shall we continue Akeno-senpai?" Shrio asked her.
"Oh your leading me now?" She giggled at his flustered look before walking past him and grabbing his hand. "The academy is this way."
As they got closer to the academy Shiro began to notice that some of the male students were giving him dirty looks and whispering among them. Focusing he was able to hear small snippets of conversations.
"Who the hell is he?"
"Why is he walking with Akeno-senpai?"
"That bastard!"
As more and more people saw them, the more the whispers grew.
"Shiro, did you hear me?"
Shiro snapped his head to face Akeno, who was inches away from his own face. This cloes proximity made him blush and lean back slightly in shock.
"Err sorry 'bout that Akeno. I was focused on something else. What did you say."
Akeno leaned back and covered her mouth with her hand and giggled. "I said do you like my breasts?"
That question made Shiro's face go from pink to red in a matter of seconds. He began to stutter for a tangible response which caused her to giggle even more.
"Don't worry that was just a joke." As if to mock him the bell suddenly rang. "Look's like I've got to go. Maybe I will see you later?" She walked away leaving the flustered man on his own.
"What the hell just happened?"
"Hmm lets see class 2-B, 2-B. Aha here we are." Shiro knocked on the wooden door leading to his class. It opened to reveal a woman in her late 30's with brown hair in a bob cut and black rimmed glasses.
"Yes how may I help you?" She asked him. He handed her a slip of paper to which she glanced over it and gave a nod of understanding. "I see so your the new transfer."
Shrio nodded. "That's right. My name is Shiro Katsura."
"Well my name is Lana Okinawa but just call me or Okinawa-sensei. Which ever you find easier." Shiro politly bowed. "Just give a moment to settle the class down and then when I call you in you an introduce yourself."
"Okay thank you sensei."
Inside the class room
"Give me a moment class. Just talk among your selves." said as there was a knock at the door.
"Yo Issei." A bolding man called out to brown haired man. "Did feel the wind this morning?."
"I managed to catch some nice panty shots because of it." A man with glasses walked up to the two and joind the conversation.
These three were Issei Hyoudou, Matsuda and Motohama, Kuoh's infamous 'peverted trio'.
"Hell yeah I did." Issei shouted in glee. "So many beautiful white panties. I even managed to catch some black lace as well."
"Ughh those three are so disgusting." One of the girls remarked.
"Anyway that's not even the biggest thing that happened today." Both Issei and Motohama looked at the tallest one in confusion. Tears suddenly streamed from Matsuda's eyes. "Some random jackass was walking with Akeno-senpai this morning."
"YOU SERIOUS!" The other two shouted at him.
"That bastard. How dare he walk next to one of the two great beauties. What did he look like?" Issei questioned him but before Matsuda could answer clapped her hands to get the class' attention.
"Okay everyone settle down please." They all went back to their seats. "We have a new exchange student from England so I would like you all to make him feel welcome." This got whispers going among the students.
"What do you think he looks like?"
"I hope he's hot like Kiba." These came from some of the girls.
"Do you think it's the same dude who was walking with Akeno?"
"If it is he better watch his back." And these came from the guys.
"Okay you can come in now!" Lana called out to the student.
The door slid open and Shiro walked over to the black board and wrote his name on it. After he finished he turned around and bowed.
"Hello my name is Shiro Katsura. Even though I'm from England I was born in Japan but please take care of me." He then stood back up and scanned the class room before his ice blue eyes met Issei's brown ones. He began to walk over to the spar seat that was behind him but he stopped when he was in front of Issei. This made Issei stand up and began staring at him, this didn't go down well with the girls as they began shouting at the two (mainly warning Shrio to stay away from him less he catch 'pervert'). Shiro began to smile.
"So I see you still haven't got rid of that stupid habit of your's eh Issei?" Shiro raised his hand to which Issei high-fived him.
"What can I say." Issei gained a perverse grin. "I love the ladies."
"Yeah well don't expect me to pull your dumb ass out of any infernos this time round." Shiro laughed.
"Okay please take your seats." Okinawa clapped her hands again.
"Talk to you later Issei."
"Sure."
Whispers broke out among the girls again. They were saying things like.
"Do you think he's another pervert?"
"He better not peep at us."
"Hey hey don't you think he looks kinda cute?"
"I saw him walking with Akeno-senpai this morning."
All these things just made Shiro sigh as he took his seat behind Issei.
After class
"I'll see you tommorow class." And with that Okinawa-sensai walked out leaving the students to their own devices. Matsuda and Motohama both walked up to Issei and Shiro who were idly chatting to each other.
"So how are your Mum and Dad Issei? They still disapointed that their son is a raging perverted idiot?" Shiro said with a smug grin.
"Hahaha that was so funny I almost forgot to laugh." Issei rolled his eyes at his old friend. It was at this point Matsuda and Motohama joined the conversation.
"So Issei, you gonna introduce us to your bud?" Motohama asked whilest adjusting his glasses. Matsuda then slamed his hand on Shiro's desk.
"Yeah and tell us why you were with Akeno this morning even though you're new here."
"Yeah i'm curious about that as well." Issei joined the other two in glaring at him making Shiro raise his hands in mock surrender.
"Right right. Well the name's Shiro Katsura and i'm an old friend of Issei. I knew him for about seven years before I had to move to England because of my mothers work." He said that last bit in a said tone. "And to as why I was with Akeno." He scratched his cheek in embrassesment. "Well I kinda got lot on the way here, saw that she was wearing the female uniform and asked her if she could help me find the school. I didn't know it was that big of a deal."
"OF CCOURSE IT IS!" The trio shouted at him making Shiro recoil back and fall of his chair.
"Ow. What the hell is wrong with you three?" Shiro rubbed the back of his head.
"Akeno is one of the two great beauties at this academy so you just causually walking with her is a big deal." Motohama started to explain but was interupted by Matsduda.
"Oh shit. I'm gonna be late." He ran over to his desk and grabbed his bag getting the attention of the other three, mell Issei and Motohama more then Shiro.
"Late for what?" Issei asked the bald pervert, he didn't say anything but instead stuck his thumb up and grinned like an idiot. Issei and Motohama seemed to get the message and they both turned to Shiro who looked at them quizzically before getting the message and slapping his hand to his forehead.
"I see why you get along with these two Issei and before you ask my answer is no." Both Issei and Motohama looked at each other before shrugging and running off to join their friend leaving Shiro to his own devices.
"Hmm what to do what to do?" The silver haired teen said to him self before sighing. "Might as well look around the campus and see what clubs they got. Maybe familiarise myself with the layout aswell." Shiro grabbed his bag and walked put of the class room while he did he passed a short girl with white hair and a cat pin in her hair and a tall blonde male.
"Is he the one Akeno told us about." The male asked the girl.
"Seems so. She was right, he does have high magical energy."
"We should tell Rias." The female nodded and they both walked off.
Shiro sat outside of a resturant, a half eaten burger in his hand, with his head bobbing to the music he was listening to. He suddenly winced and brought his hand up to rub the goose egg sized lump that was on his head. He sighed to himself as he remebered just how he got it.
After walking around the campus for an hour he ran into the student council president and vice-president, Souna Shitori and Tsubaki Shinra, who he asked if there was any clubs he could join. After being directed to several cubs like the kendo, tennis and archery club he ran into Issei, Motohama and Matsuda who were being chassed by the female members of the swimming club. As the trio ran past him Motohama and Matsuda decided to yell that they thank him for the awesome peeping spot which confused the hell out of Shiro but realised why they did that, they were using him as a scape goat. By the tme he realised that it was already to late as the girls were already upon him like a storm.
Which led up to now.
"When I see those guys again they're dead." He grummbled as he stood up and tossed the now empty wrapper in the bin. He bagan to walk back home when suddenly...
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
There was a blood curddling scream which froze Shiro in his tracks. His eyes darting left and right to find the source of the scream. He wasn't a hero, far from it but at the same time he wasn't going run away especially when someone might be in trouble. All of a sudden a strong wind blew from his left.
The same direction of the screams.
It carried a strong scent of blood which made Shiro take a step back
Tap
Footsteps suddenly echoed out from the darkness and he took a step back.
Tap
Again the footsteps echoed but this time they were louder. Shiro's breathing began to quicken. His eyes darted to his right and he saw that there was an ally he could hid in. Deciding to chance the ally instead of what ever the hell was approaching he dove down it crouched down low. He placed a hand over his mouth to soften the sound of his breathing. Out the corner of his eye he noticed a metal rod that was about two meters long. Picking it up, he held it in his right hand and angled it towards the ground. Peeking round the corner he saw that no one was there but instead an empty, pitch black street.
Tap tap tap
The footsteps were even louder then before, he estimated they were about five seconds away. Four...three...two...one. From the darkness stepped out a girl with long raven black hair done in a ponytail. He recgonised her as Akeno. The girl he met this morning and teased him before leaving. He noticed that something was...off about her. She was walking alone at night which was...kinda normal but she was taking in her surroundings almost as if she was looking for something.
His eyes widened when he saw that something was behind her. It was large, around ten feet tall, had two-no, SIX piercing yellow eyes and, a scorpion tail that was raised above it's body and poised to strike. Poised to strike the obivious girl that was in front of it.
As the tail started to tense time seemed to freeze around Shiro. At that moment he had two options, two paths he could go down. One was that he could let the creature kill Akeno and give him time to get the hell away from here, but he would've let an innocent girl be murdered in front of him and there was also no guarantee that he would escape.
And then there was the second option, the option to run towards the two.
'Dammit all!
And that is exactly what he did.
Gripped the pipe in a death like grip he ran out of the ally and towards Akeno.
"AKENO MOVE NOW!" He yelled out at the surprised girl. When he reached her he grabbed her wrist and pulled, effectively swapping places with her but his back was facing towards the creature as it's tail snapped out.
SCHLIK
There was a searing pain, unbearable even. He slowly forced him self to look down even if he didn't want to and saw what was causing this pain. An inky black stinger with purple liquid dripping from it's tip had emerged from his chest. He felt himself being lifted off the ground causing him even more pain and making him want to scream. But he couldn't, he couldn't scream nor could he move, he couldn't do anything, he couldn' FEEL anything. His whole body was going numb, his eyes were getting heavy and his breathing was starting to slow. And then he heard that voice.
It was female going by the pitch but it sounded like gravel being rubbed against each other.
"Hmm not the one I was going for but I can't complain." Shiro was vaguely aware of his body hitting the ground and bouncing off it like some kind of rag doll. "Human males taste far better then devils." That's when he saw a row of razer sharp teeth and a flash of light.
There was screaming, shouting and the sound of something hitting the ground multiple times.
"...rry." He thought he could hear a voice. "I...o...rry..." If he strained his ears he just might be able to hear it. It sound like Akeno...and she was crying. "I'm so sorry! If you never met me then maybe you would still be alive." Shiro felt her brush her hand against his cheek. "I can tell you are still breathing so I will be quick. Do you wish to live again?"
He tried to answer but there was no sound, it seemed like he couldn't hear his own voice yet he could hear Akeno. Finding he couldn't speak he settled for a weak nod.
"I understand. I'm sorry but this is the only way. In order for you to live again you must give up something in return." Akeno laughed bitterly to herself. "Don't worry...you won't be alone. Your senpai will be right next to you."
There was a flash of crimson and then...nothing...
And there it is. I finally decided to start the one thing that made me make this profile. A Highschool DxD fanfic. That's right, this profile was originally made for a Highschool DxD fic but I could never get the first chapter right but after a year of procrastinating and story juggling I finally completed it.
For now Shiro won't have a sacred gear but by the end of this arc. He might have a water based one OR if anyone of you that read this have an idea of your own then feel free to PM me it and if I like it then he will have that gear but it can't be a dragon gear like Issei's or Vali's or even Sagi (I'm looking at you Vritra) but anything else is far game note that, no matter hw powerful it may be, it won't be as strong as Issei's.
So yeah that's it for sacred and as for the harem it's gonna be like this:
1)Akeno
2)Kalawarner
3)Kuroka
4)Rossweisse
5)Irina/Xenovia
The last one is because i'm having a hard time choosing who I like more. Irina is cute and bubbly while Xenovia is sexy and badass.
But that's all for now. So until next time
Stay well, stay true. BYE BYE~
