Hello everyone, this is my new story, The devil's sorcerer. This is a Highschool DXD fanfic with a bit of a crossover to it. The crossover I chose is for now a surprise but it will be revealed in time. It's paring is OCXAkeno.
Chapter 1 the stranger
Drip*Drip*Drip
"Kuoh town…Kuoh? How did I get in Japan!?"
The hooded man stared at the sign as rain fell upon him.
This didn't make any sense, how did he get here?
He was in his home and then a bright flash blinded him now here he was on the far side of the world, in the rain, sopping wet…
Oh how his friends would find this amusing and it would be too if he knew how to get back home and tell them which at the moment could not and for what reasons he did not know.
He sighed and entered Kuoh town in search of shelter from the storm-
BOOM!
Correction, thunder storm!
The flash of lighting showing his simple attire; a grey jacket, plain white t-shirt, blue jeans, white socks and grey shoes.
He quickened his pace as another flash of lighting zipped across the sky and the roar thunder followed after it!
Being struck by lightning was something he wished not to happen.
The stranger looking left and right for some place to stay. He jumped as a tree was struck by lightning and sent crashing to the ground!
"Fuck!" He growled glaring at the fallen tree. "I really need to find shelter ASAP!"
Indeed he did for as he continued walking the storm steadily grew worse. The rain began to fall harder and it becoming harder to see! As lighting flashed across the sky he caught sight of a flight of stairs leading up somewhere. 'Somewhere safe and warm' He thought as ran up as fast as he could hoping to not slip! When he reached the top he found a shrine sitting there.
Whoever lived here he hoped would provide him a place to stay for the night. He made his way to the door and quickly knocked on it hoping the owner would answer. As he waited another boom of thunder was heard in the distance making him knock a second time. No answer again. Just as he was about to knock a third time the door open and the stranger was taken by surprise!
Standing before him was a girl! A teenager to be exact and she was dressed in miko attire, white haori with red accents, a red hakama, and a pair of zori with white tabi. Her black hair was very long and tied into a ponytail by an orange ribbon and violet colored eyes, how curious. Her body was curious also, Japanese women normally had small proportions but this woman….she had the body of a super model! Her breasts were so big they looked they could burst out of her top any second! Was she half Japanese?
Probably…
Remembering why he was here he gave a polite bow and spoke. "Hello." He paused realizing he was in Japan and was about to reply in their common tongue before the Shinto priestess reply.
"Hello, what can I do for you and why are you out in this storm?" She asked concerned.
His was surprised again! She spoke fluent English! Perhaps she was Japanese American. He swiftly replied to her question. "I hope I am not intruding on you but I seek shelter from the storm. I have no house or money for a place to stay."
The priestess looked at him for a long time studying the face hidden behind the hood. His skin was white and he had dark blue eyes. His hair, from what she could see beneath the hood, was black, short, and neatly combed. He was clearly American just by his voice. "Of course please come in. You must be exhausted from traveling." She said with a smile stepping aside to let him in. "Would you like some tea to warm you up?" She added while shutting the door.
"Yes please. Thank you very much." The stranger removed his jacket with a long sigh. "Is there a place to put my jacket?"
"I can take it for you. Please make yourself comfortable while I get the tea ready." The priestess said kindly. "My name is Akeno Himejima, by the way."
"Gerard Price. Thank you for letting me stay, Himejima-san." The stranger introduced with a polite bow.
Akeno stifled a giggle behind her covered mouth. "Ara ara no need to be so formal, Gerard."
"Nevertheless, a lady should be treated with respect, Akeno"
Akeno giggled again. Handsome and kind, what a treat tonight. She hung his jacket up and prepared the tea. When she returned she found Gerard sitting at the table looking around. "Here you go."
Gerard smiled and accepted the tea. "What a lovely place to stay. Truly I wish I lived in Japan." He paused and took a drink of the hot tea. He hummed in delight at the taste. "Hmm never before have I tasted such good tea before. What's in this?"
"Cinnamon." The black haired priestess answered after giggling a third time. He was too kind and quite cute now that she got a better look at him. His blue eyes seem to twinkle as if there was some sort of magic about them and yet she couldn't sense anything from him. Maybe he was just a normal human with a charming personality. "So what brings you here to Japan?" She asked deciding to strike up a conversation with the charming Gerard.
He stared at the girl wondering if he should tell her what exactly he was. Would she believe him? Then again he wouldn't wanna drag her into the messes he had…well he couldn't lie to her. She had accepted his plea to let him stay and offered tea, which was superb. Ah what the hell he'll tell her how he got here. How she would react he'd play it by ear. "To tell you the truth I have no idea. I was sitting in my apartment at California then poof I'm blinded by a white light and now I found myself suddenly all the way out here in Japan. Strange huh?"
Akeno stared at him with inquisitive eyes trying to figure how what exactly he meant by that. "Were you attacked?" She asked in a serious tone.
"No. Nobody broke into my house. It was all of a sudden a bright light and I guess the right word to say was teleported here."
Now this caught her attention she set her cup down and continued to stare at him with serious eyes. "Teleported, you say?"
"Yeah you know. Like you're in one place and then you're all of a sudden in another room. You know like the stuff you seen in movies or comic books." Gerard answered with a shrug.
"Hmm that is very strange…" She muttered, mostly to herself. Her eyes drifting downwards to the table as if thinking of something. Gerard said he teleported but the way he did was inconceivable! Only magical symbols were used for teleportation. Did someone blind him and teleported him here? If so who and what purpose would they gain in it? She'd have to tell Rias about this.
"Akeno."
She was brought out of her thoughts by Gerard offering his empty cup to her. "Don't mean to be rude but this conversation just got strange. May we please change the subject? Oh and could I get another cup of your delicious tea?"
She couldn't hide her smile at his offer of another cup. He truly was a kind man. "Of course." She took his cup and went back to the kitchen to refill it but not before asking him a question. "Gerard. Do you believe in the supernatural world?"
Gerard's face was blank like an owls. "You mean like the stuff from movie? Because there's no way magic could be real. It's strange enough that I suddenly show up here in Japan but stuff like that clearly doesn't exist."
When Akeno entered the kitchen her eyes narrowed. He was lying. It wasn't the owlish face he made. It was very brief but she saw him flinch at the question. That was more than enough evidence to show he knew something about the supernatural stuff. He was hiding something, he knew something about supernatural world. He probably had connections or a run in with something with magical powers like an angel, or vampire. Either way, she had to tell Rias immediately.
She returned the living rooming eyeing Gerard carefully. He didn't have any weapons on hand but the human body itself could be a weapon. Now wasn't the time to be suspicious however, he was a guest and would be treated like one. She gave him the tea and sat down. "So what would you like to talk about?"
"Us. Judging by your age your probably 19?"
"18." She corrected taking no offense of being asked about her age.
Gerard whistled. "You're a year younger than me. I was born on July 10."
"Really? I was born July 21!" Exclaimed Akeno. "Have you graduated?"
"Unfortunately no, I was held back once to help with my learning. I was actually just starting my final semester in high school this winter before all this occurred."
"Ara ara, so it would seem we are in the same year. Gerard, how about I make you an offer? I go to Kuoh Academy, formally an all-girls school that's now been changed to accept both genders. I can ask to have you enrolled there if you want?" Akeno asked with a smile.
Gerard blinked. She was offering him to go the same school as her? He couldn't just transfer to here. His school was in America. But with his situation, with no way of getting back home, what choice did he have? He had no money to use to get back home and what about his friends? They were probably worried sick about him. He looked at Akeno's face studying her features. He had to admit she was a very pretty woman and the way her eyes held so much kindness made him not want to refuse her offer…
He smiled and put his hand out. "Himejima-san, you're offer is accepted. When do I sign up?"
"Next week. It's currently Saturday and I have a friend I know to help transfer you over here. Were exactly do you go to school?"
"West Hills High School, you've probably never heard of it."
"Indeed. Nevertheless, my friend can still help with your transfer. Her family has connections to the school."
"Well I'm greatly mumble to you to and your friend. Thank you for giving me a place to stay dry and your friend for allowing me to go to school. Speaking of which I should be on my way. I'm sure there's a homeless organization somewhere around here to help me."
"No, that's alright. You can stay here for the night. The weather forecast said it won't let up till next morning and it's nearly midnight. I can get you a spare blanket."
"Truly, your kindness knows no bound, Himejima-san." He bowed low to the ground to show respect. "I'm truly grateful for your actions. I won't forget your hospitality."
"Oh don't think nothing of it. I'm sure you'd do the same for a pretty girl." Akeno blushed, a hand on her face.
After finishing their tea, Akeno gave him a blanket and returned to her room. Her face contorting to one of curiosity and caution. Kind as Gerard was he still had a mystery about him. His lie about the supernatural world still bothered here and Rias had to be told about this at once. She would get to the bottom of this mystery.
Back in the main room, Gerard laid quietly eyes open and a look of worry on his face. He never was a good liar but he could read emotions well enough to see she was suspicious about him. She must know something about magic! She was a Shinto priestess so she probably had some skill within the art of magic. It was obvious that she only wanted to keep a close eye on him. That was why she offered to have him go to her school. This Akeno Himejima was a curious woman. He should have been straight forward with her. But how was he to know she knew the art of magic like he did? Perhaps someday, he would tell or rather show her. For now he would need rest.
End.
I will be collaborating with another author, Anime PJ, if he would like to. It is his decision to help or not. Anyway, like i said this is an OCXAkeno paring and no he will not be a devil.
Read and Review.
