Hey guys! I know it's been a while(No Shit Sherlock! You were gone for a whole fucking nine months!) And I can only say I was stupid. I wrote a bunch of different stroies rather than continuing the other ones because inspiration is a bitch. I write these for my enjoyment so if I don't writing a chapter I'll go and do another story. Which is where we are now. I've got another story. YAY!(It'll probably be updated like next year.) Anyways, enjoy!

"What the hell are we doing here again?"

A tall orange-haired boy asked his companion. They both stood in front of the gates of a school, primarily filled with girls, and the odd one or two boys. What brought up the question could presumably have been the amount of stares that the two had received.

"Didn't Shunsui tell you? Recon! Recon! Just have fun while doing it!"

The answer was given by a slightly shorter pink-haired young man, he wore a white-scaled scarf around his neck. He grinned at the taller boy.

"Besides, Ichigo, it's good to get a change of pace! We've never been on recon before so this is a chance to do something different!"

"But, Natsuuuu, is there a point to go to school again?"

"Yeah! Because it's interesting!"

Natsu ignored Ichigo's mouth opening again and walked right through the gates. He could feel Ichigo reluctantly fall in line behind him, causing him to smirk slightly. He wore a slightly modified school uniform, he had ditched the blazer to leave only the shirt of the uniform; he wore no undershirt so there was only one layer of clothes between his skin and the air - even in winter months he still wore the same. Ichigo had opened up the blazer and released a few buttons on his shirt, letting his chiseled pecs peek through the loose material; he was most used to this style of wear anyways.

Unfortunately, their loose wear attracted more attention than warranted, as most of the female eyes of the school, in other words most of the entire school, were on them. Natsu almost broke into laughter when he saw Ichigo's scowl impossibly deepen. Both of them could easily pick up the comments being whispered between groups of other students; through their respective amplified senses.

"Ooh Ooh! Who are they?"

"The guy with pink hair is pretty cute!"

"Do you think they're transferring here?"

"Ahh! That cold gaze is unbearable!"

"Damn pretty boys, we don't need another couple of Kibas!"

"Aren't they cold?"

"They look comfortable, I think? Anyways look at their muscles!"

"Ah~ if I could be wrapped in either one or even both of their arms tonight I'd be able to die happy."

Natsu couldn't keep the grin off his face, he kinda forgot that people acted this way when introduced to something new. Ichigo kept a scowl on his face.

"Come on! Lighten up Ichigo! it's just a few harmless comments, right?"

"Sooner we get to class, the better…"

"Fine Fine, let's go get our schedules."

After receiving their schedules and another handful of stares from students in the corridors and surprisingly, or not so, from a few teachers as well. They both were to take the same classes for reasons. When they appeared in front of the door of class 3-A(A/n: This isn't a class that you should refer to, because I can't go into the anime world and check literally.), Natsu rapped his knuckles on the door. A male teacher of middle age opened the door, the moment he saw the two he realised who they were and re-entered the class.

"Class we have two new transfer students! I'll have them introduce themselves to you!(Because I've forgotten their names already) Come in now!"

When Natsu and Ichigo walked into the room, the class waited with bated breath. Natsu stood up to the podium(figuratively).

"Hello Everyone! The name's Natsu Dragneel, just call me Natsu and I hope that we can all get along!"

He gave the class a signature megawatt smile, before stepping down and letting Ichigo speak.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, my hair color is natural so don't ask."

"Would anyone like to ask any questions of the two before we start class?"

Multiple variants of "Are you single?" and "Do you have a girlfriend" exploded from the group of students in the span of a couple of seconds. To be followed by a couple of people curious enough to ask Natsu if his hair was natural, to which he replied that indeed it was. Both Natsu and Ichigo ignored the first cluster of questions.

They both took seats at the back of the class, next to the window. Natsu could smell something oddly draconic from the boy a couple of rows in front of them, but he couldn't have been sure because he reeked of lust and depravity, maybe a little bit of idiocy. He was slightly curious of the multitude of magical signatures he had been feeling around the school, it was slightly more concentrated in two places: the creepy old school building; and if he remembered correctly, the student council office. As much as some would like to believe that magical signatures remain with the person there was always a residue and if multiple signatures were to congregate in the same area, i.e. old school building, then it would form a zone, or pool of magic residue.

'I guess I should probably check those later. This is a recon mission after all! Oh that reminds me!'

Natsu closed his eyes and focused his other senses, including his reiatsu sensing, and began to systematically search the school, he could build a profile on someone without even looking at them and would then be able to find them anywhere within range of his senses. He tallied up to about 14 profiles on the odd signatures. He opened his eyes again, to see Ichigo staring at him.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Were you looking for them?"

"14 in total, now I just got to go get some visuals to add to the profiles."

"We can do that now, it's lunch break now."

The bell rang as those words left Ichigo's mouth. Unfortunately, they were slightly delayed due to a sudden inrush of curious, maybe thirsty, classmates. After averting the crisis by swiftly answering the most common questions and literally running out of the classroom(Natsu wanted to jump out the window), they finally managed to escape. Subsequently, they began to walk randomly around the school, as if they were exploring - if they were to immediately head for the high signature zones, it would be slightly, if not outright, suspicious. Anyways, they still hadn't taken a full tour of the school.

"Murayama's boobs are so big!"

"She's 82-70-81."

"Katase has great legs!"

"She's 78.5-65-79!"

Ichigo's and Natsu's expert hearing caught, what they had found out to be, the three perverts. Doing what? Being perverse. Natsu and Ichigo walked up behind them, scaring the living crap out of them with five syllables.

"What are you doing?"

The perverts turned around, knowing they had been caught red-handed. Although, they were less than pleased by who they were caught by.

"What's it to you?"

"Yeah! Ya damn pretty boys."

"Oh I'm sorry? I thought we hadn't met before? I was just wondering what three other fellow male students were doing outside the Girls Kendo Team changing rooms."

"Dammit! What else could we be doing other than peeping?!"

"Oh? So you're perverts?"

"Screw this, Natsu."

Ichigo picked up the nearest pervert, Matsuda, and threw him in the general direction of the changing rooms exit and entrance. Natsu followed, pulling the other two along. After arriving at the changing room doors they tied up the three and hung from a nearby tree. Natsu suggested they take their clothes, but Ichigo quickly stopped him from stripping them. By the time they had finished though, the Kendo team had finished changing and were pleasantly surprised to see the new transfer students tying the perverts to a tree. I say pleasantly surprised, but I mean more like ecstatic.

"Ah~! They really are princes among men!"

"To stop those perverts' actions, for us! We should be ever so grateful!"

"Is there anything we can do for you?"

"Oh! Yes, my friend here would like to join your club, is that okay?"

"Natsu!?"

"Ichigo here wanted to try his skills against Kiba Yuuto, who frequents your dojo, right?"

"O-Of course, Natsu."

As Ichigo left with the team he shot a glare at Natsu, who was busy grinning back at him. A small sigh escaped his mouth, not enough for any of the team members to notice though.

'THAT BASTAAAAARD!'

"Right! Now to go find something to do."

Natsu began to wander off in the direction of the old school building, or to him: a magical zone.

Back with Ichigo…

"Hey, Ichigo? How long have you done kendo for?"

"Hmm? I guess it would be 10 years now."

"That long? You must be very good."

"Not even, I would only say that my kenjutsu is decent from where I come from."

"Ichigo-sa~n, we're here!"

Just as Natsu had said, Kiba Yuuto stood at the entrance of the Kendo Dojo.

"Kiba-san! This is Ichigo Kurosaki, one of the transfer students, he said he'd like to duel you if possible."

"Pleased to meet you."

"No it's my pleasure, so you wanna do one round?"

"Sure."

Ichigo finally realised why Natsu had sent him with the Kendo Team. Kiba Yuuto was the reason.

'Well that, and the fact that he never really uses a sword.'

Kiba Yuuto had one of the signatures that Natsu had identified earlier. There were also a couple of other signatures there, but Natsu had specifically mentioned Kiba, by name. Natsu acted stupid most of the time, but he was probably more ingenious than what most would think.

After putting on the armor and the men, Ichigo picked up his shinai. Kiba stood opposite him, in the typical kendo stance. Whereas, Ichigo held his casually at his side.

"Aren't you going to get in stance?"

"These are too light for my usual stance."

"But, you're not ready to guard at all!"

"Who said I'm not ready?"

There conversation was interrupted by the duel announcer, otherwise known as the Kendo Club Captain.

"Duelists, face forwards! Remember, you are only allowed to make contact with the other person through your sword!"

"Start!"

As the start of the duel was called Kiba rushed forward, only to find his back to the floor and Ichigo's shinai pointed at his face. He could feel pain in his chest and the back of his knees. But the speed wasn't the scary thing about his strikes, it was the killing intent. Being a devil made you slightly more aware of when someone is trying to kill you. When he stopped feeling bloodlust he saw Ichigo's hand in front of him. He grabbed it and was pulled onto his feet.

"Good match. I think that you relied a little bit too much on your speed, so you dropped your guard."

'I didn't drop my guard at all! You literally disappeared in front of my eyes!'

"AHHHH! Ichigo-san beat Kiba-kun!"

"Kiba's the best member of the Kendo Team! The Captain being second best!"

"Ichigo-san! How did you move so fast like that?!"

"It's a secret."

"Won't you tell us~?"

"Yes, I would like to know as well, Ichigo-san."

Ichigo was slightly overwhelmed when the Kendo team began to teem around him, trying to get him to join the kendo club and the like.

"I'll join if I can, okay? I just need to ask Natsu first."

"Why do you need to ask Natsu?" The chorus of the kendo team girls echoed around the hall.

"Because we're living together and need to plan things out."

Some of the girls suddenly seemed to start sparkling, while some of their eyes had turned into stars.

"Two handsome men, living together, with no one else. It's the perfect situation!"

Ichigo did not like where this line of conversation would end.

"No, it's not like that! We live together because we're good friends and moved here from the same place!"

'Also, ironically, he's sort of like an older brother that would do anything to protect his family. Ugh, he'd have my head if I began to disappear without telling him.'

"Where did you move here from?"

"Tokyo, we went to the same school before, but due to coincidental circumstances we moved here at the same time. I only really found out he was moving here when we ran into each other at the train station."

Ichigo and Natsu had memorised this cover story to heart, it wouldn't do if someone found out that they weren't what people thought they were.

Old School Building; Occult Research Club Room…

"Checkmate."

"Awww~ Rias you always win."

Rias Gremory tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. A small sigh escaped her full pink lips. She began to pack away the chessboard as she opened her mouth to speak to her Vice-President, Akeno Himejima, again.

"Akeno, what can you tell me about the two new transfer students? Nii-sama didn't tell me anything about them."

"Ara, Ara, is Rias interested in them?"

A royal blush filled her cheeks as she spoke quickly.

"N-No! Of course not! It's just… they seemed less human than there letting on. I can feel something especially dangerous from, Natsu was his name? I felt like his eyes have been on me the entire day, even when we were in different classrooms."

"Well now that we're talking about him, he happens to be outside, right now."

"No way!"

Rias rushed over to the window, and true to Akeno's words there stood the pink-haired boy of the transfer duo. When he saw Rias at the window he casually waved at her and grinned. Rias doubted that someone with such an innocent smile could've been dangerous. He walked up to the window and gestured for them to open it. When they he jumped and pulled himself onto the window ledge. He perched elegantly atop it.

"Why hello there!"

"Hi there, handsome~."

Akeno was not shy in her viewing of Natsu's disturbed clothing, he was lightly sweating from walking around in the spring sun and his hair seemed to glow against the fiery ball in the sky.

"Ahem, my name is Rias Gremory. It's nice to finally meet you."

"Oh, I suppose I should introduce myself: Natsu Dragneel, my missing friend is called Ichigo Kurosaki, first names are fine. We both don't really care for rank or position."

"And my name is Akeno Himejima, but you can call me anything you like, if you can moan my name, it would be even better~."

"AKENO!"

Rias' blushing did little to help the situation, Natsu kept grinning away.

"Fine then, Akeno."

"Ahem, well, you can ignore Akeno's antics, she likes to mess around a lot. You said that both you and Ichigo transferred in at the same time? And as friends?"

"Yeah, we we're friends at our old school, I didn't know he was leaving and he didn't know I was leaving either, it was a real spur of the moment thing. So imagine my surprise as I was getting off at the Kuoh train station!"

Natsu gave a short laugh, more a lighthearted chuckle really. Nevertheless, it served its purpose to lure the two into a friendly sense of security.

"Oh, really? My father didn't tell me anything about transfers so I was confused when you two walked through the door. My father's the administrator of this academy."

"Oh! That guy with the red hair! Now that I look more closely I can see the resemblance!"

When Natsu said 'closely', he meant closely. His face proximity with Rias' was less than a few centimetres. Rias blushed and stepped backwards to avoid him seeing her like that.

"W-well, anyways, w-why did you come here?"

"I don't know. Did I need a reason?"

At that moment the occupants of the room felt killing intent. Natsu knew that it could only be Ichigo, which meant he was doing his job. Rias and Akeno became frantic, slightly not realising that Natsu was there that Rias almost began to issue orders to Akeno. Akeno turned to Natsu with a grim smile on her face, designed for the less intelligent that wouldn't know the meaning behind such a smile.

"I just remembered we had something urgent to do, so we'll have to excuse ourselves. Thanks for talking to us though!"

Natsu nodded and dropped out of the window.

"I'll come see you guys later. Probably. Don't trust me to be routine, my organisation's horrible."

"Yeah, we'd like that, 'till then!"

Akeno shut the window and closed the curtain, masking the room from Natsu's view. Not that he needed to see to know what was going on - he had dragon senses, for goodness sake!

Natsu pulled out his phone and called Ichigo, it was time for them to head home.

"When Shunsui said house, I think he meant suburban mansion!"

Natsu and Ichigo stood in front of a building with plenty of glass and abstract steel construction. There was a garden/front yard(probably got some sort of kidō on it, because these two probably can't garden worth a damn). The living room was vast with one of those new, curved TVs, black leather sofas, a glass coffee table, a bookshelf already filled with school books for reference, even custom dog-eared for realism. The beds were fitted with the latest memory-foam technology and were covered in pristine white sheets. The bedrooms also contained general items such as a desk for working at, and another door to the bathroom. There was even a pool dropped into a semi-basement in the back of the house. Obviously, the most important part of the house was the underground training room. On the surface, it was just a decked-out gym, but if they were to activate the hidden seal, a section of the floor would sink and split revealing a deserted wasteland. Urahara's trademark training room. That man was meant to be a genius inventor, but sometimes he had no creativity.

After the two had settled into the different bedrooms, of which there were more than two for some odd reason(the beds were also oddly huge), they both decided it'd be best if they were to go running/exploring, they were in a relatively new place that they needed to get familiar with it for recon purposes. Natsu dressed in a wine-red tracksuit, while Ichigo put on a dark blue tracksuit. They left the house, not bothering to lock the door. Only they could access the house as of right now, ah~ the beauty of recognition kidō.

"Hey, Natsu?"

"Yeah, whatsit?"

"Kiba is indeed one of the holders of those devil signatures."

"Oh really? I think I met with one of the leaders of the two groups at the school. The reiatsu zones were pretty easy to distinguish, but there are two groups of devils at the school: the student council and the occult research club. All student council members have a specific reiatsu similarity, while the same occurs with the occult research club members. They're probably the peerages that Shunsui was explaining to us about. I went and checked on the occult research club and confirmed by smell that they are all related through the peerage."

"I still don't understand why your senses are so damn good. Shirosaki says that even if he enhances my senses, there still pitiful compared to yours. I have to put up with his frustration every time it's mentioned, he says he feels inadequate."

'OI! I heard that!'

"HAHAHA! Igneel is feeling pretty smug right now."

"Another thing I still can't really comprehend, is how you have an entire, bloody dragon in your head."

"Shh! I smell blood and hear conflict!"

"I thought we weren't supposed to draw attention to ourselves?"

"When someone is in trouble, those with power should always be there to help!"

Natsu began sprinting a direction. He popped a soul candy in his mouth as he ran. Ichigo following suit, their soul candy powered bodies continued running as normal. In actuality they were mod souls that could still perform reconnaissance duties, but also had a few other quirks, like self-destruct their gigais, should they need it.

Natsu and Ichigo flash-stepped into a park with a fountain. By this time Ichigo could already smell the blood, but it was silent. An odd dome covered the center of the park, swirling with random colours like oil on water. Ichigo walked up to the dome and slashed his hand sideways. His white haori was disturbed in the rush of wind that came out of the dome, accompanied by the smell of blood. Ichigo saw a boy's body lying in his own personal blood pool. Before Ichigo could go and check on him, a spear of yellow light was flung towards him. Ichigo was startled for a moment, before he grabbed the spear and crushed it in his hands.

"Eh? How are you able to break my spear of light?!"

Natsu and Ichigo turned and looked to the source of the sound. A skimpily clad woman floated in the air, held aloft by two midnight black wings. Natsu smirked dangerously.

"You must be a fallen angel. Aren't they supposed to be preserving an armistice between the three factions?"

"Heh! What's that matter to you? I, Raynare, do this all for Azazel-sama"

"Then I'll show you what I do for souls stolen from the rest of their lives."

As soon as Natsu said that, the fallen angel fell to the ground, crushed under an overwhelming pressure.

'Is this a gravity spell!?'

As if reading her thoughts, Natsu spoke.

"What you're right now feeling is the overwhelming difference in our power. I am crushing you with only my reiatsu, or I guess you could call it, magical power."

Suddenly, a red magic circle lit up. Near the boy. The circle revealed a woman with long crimson hair, wearing the Kuoh Academy Girls Uniform. Simultaneous thoughts blasted through Natsu's and Ichigo's heads: 'Oh shit!'

As much as the two wanted to flash-step out of there, there was no doubt that Rias had already sensed their reiatsu, thus making it easier to realise who they were at school. However, there was always a plan 'B': infiltrate.

Rias appeared to murmur a few words to the boy, before pulling out eight red pawn pieces and placing them in his chest. His chest started to rise and fall again. As Rias turned around to address the fallen angel, she noticed two, incredibly powerful presences. She saw that the fallen angel had been crushed under the weight of something. She also saw two faces she never expected to see. The transfer students, that had managed to garner her attention. They were clad in black clothing, both with a white haori on top of that. Natsu's salmon hair seemed to literally be on fire, as it glowed during the half-light. His permanent scarf still around his neck. Ichigo's tall and imposing figure seemed to be even taller in his clothing.

"N-N-Natsu?! H-How? Why?"

"Hi Rias! We didn't really want to reveal this yet, but we're spiritual beings too! I guess we'll re-introduce ourselves! Captain of the Wanderers, Natsu Dragneel."

"Lieutenant of the Wanderers Squad, Ichigo Kurosaki."

"Our group is kinda special so~ right now it's only us two…"

"Wait then what are you?"

"Wait."

There was a distinct lack of a certain black-winged presence now. It didn't really matter too much, as she'd show up again later, Natsu and Ichigo could tell.

"Why don't you go and tuck him into his bed and we can go talk at our house."

"Sure." Rias' curt answer expressed that she was still confused as to what was happening. The crushing presence that was emitted by the two's presence alone was distracting enough already.

"Great!"

Natsu and Ichigo vanished, they were pretty sure that Rias would be able to locate them eventually. Rias dropped Issei at his house and rushed back to the Old Schoolhouse to grab Akeno. She didn't want to disappoint or annoy such powerful beings so she rushed her way over to where she could still sense their presences.

"Rias, where are you taking me?"

"Just shut up and go into the portal!"

The two flashed into existence in front of the abstract mansion.

"Oooo, this isn't your house or my house, so who's house is it?"

"Ours."

Akeno turned to the gates and saw Natsu and Ichigo walk out of them.

"Oh, Rias! I didn't know you wanted me to do a double date~."

"No, Akeno!"

"I don't mind it if we call this a double date! Ichigo, you take Akeno and I'll take Rias, kay?"

"NATSU!"

Rias' shrill voice did nothing for Ichigo and Natsu, what with enhanced senses and all. Ichigo interjected before things could get out of hand.

"In all seriousness, would you mind coming inside?"

"Ah! I should make some tea!"

Natsu rushed back into the house, the kitchen lights spontaneously lit up a corner of the massive garden. Ichigo lead Rias and Akeno into the main living room, asking them to sit down before leaving for the kitchen. When Ichigo and Natsu walked through the front door again, Rias almost jumped out of her seat.

"Natsu, Ichigo, we've returned!"

"Oh, great! Sit at the table and introduce yourselves to our guests! I'd imagine they'd be confused as to why there are two of us!"

The mod-soul inhabited gigais of Natsu and Ichigo sat at the table, opposite from Rias and Akeno.

"Good Evening! I'm Sora and this is Asahi, we're both mod-souls inhabiting these fake bodies designed for Natsu and Ichigo. Mod-souls are specialised to have certain characteristics and abilities whereas the typical gigai replacement soul is vastly inferior in comparison designed to serve only as its user commands it."

"Fake bodies?"

"Oh, that leads into the next topic. You see, technically, our physical bodies have already died and we are dead. So we need these gigais otherwise we might randomly crush people with our reiatsu."

Natsu explained as he placed a tray filled with cups of tea and an assortment of small cakes and biscuits.

"For example…"

Natsu pushed against his gigai's forehead. The soul pill fell out of his mouth and Natsu disappeared into his fake body.

"As you can see, I can inhabit my own gigai, but not others because anthropomorphic data like height and build would affect the connections between the soul and the body. That reminds me! I don't think we explained what we are!"

Rias nodded vigorously, while Natsu heard a discordant snort from Ichigo, now returned from the kitchen and in his corresponding gigai.

"Ichigo here is currently 30 years old, he 'died' at 20 because his body couldn't contain his immense reiatsu and began to deteriorate. Both our gigais have a sealing function for that so we don't disturb our surroundings. He's a perfect mixture between 4 races, the Quincy, the Hollow, the Soul Reaper and humans(but I guess not really anymore, seeing as he's dead. -.-). He is easily one of the strongest members of our faction, I'd put him at about second to me when I get serious. And that brings the topic to me. I died when I was 400 and something years in age, I had died before and was reincarnated into a devil by my brother(Insert Rias' and Akeno's gasp here), he then gave me to my adoptive father Igneel! The King of the of the Fire Dragons! So, that basically makes me the prince, so I'm now a hybrid between demon, dragon and soul reaper. The hybridness is partly the reason why we work together and are currently the only members of the Wanderers, designated to monitor and take action in foreign affairs."

"Natsu, you said you were reincarnated as a devil, right?"

"Demon, not devil. They're similar but I wasn't reincarnated through your evil piece system. My brother created demons designed to kill him, an immortal. I was meant to be his final and greatest creation, I did finally succeed in killing my brother. Although, he didn't deserve what happened to him. His immortality was a curse, where he would kill more as he valued life, and he'd kill less if his value of life decreased. The Curse of Contradictions."

"That must've been awful!"

"Yeah, although, he made it easier for me to kill him by doing a few bad things. He was a good older brother."

"Earlier, you were saying that you were both soul reapers, right?"

"Yes, we can be viewed as an independent faction separate to the Shintō, even though we are in the same religion. Natsu is the only soul reaper of his kind, being ridiculously powerful, without being born into one of the five great clans; there wouldn't be a doubt in my mind that he could beat even the most powerful person in the Soul Society, though it'd be a bad matchup for him from the start(A/n: Genryusai Zanpakutō = Fire; Natsu = Fire Eater). "

"Aww~, you're just flattering me."

"No, I'm being serious."

"So you're telling me, that the MOST powerful member of your soul society is NATSU!"

"Pretty much."

"Though, you can't really gauge his power without a comparison, I've heard that your four satans can destroy Japan multiple times over? Well Natsu, could wipe out the Earth multiple times over(A/n: He could literally eat the Earth's core ffs.), and this is realistically terrifying because of his inherent lack of care about his environment as he fights."

"Ichigo! I'm not that bad… I think…"

Ichigo just stared at Natsu. He could elaborate on how he knew about Natsu's destructive tendencies through personal experience. However he decided to let his captain be. Even if Natsu put camaraderie above his own life, it didn't mean Ichigo could trust him to not get angry and do something irrational. Rias and Akeno had almost died, there were miniature souls floating out of their open mouths.

"We haven't really explained why we're here though… You see, since Natsu's got a job to do as the foreign affairs minister, we have to study all the foreign supernatural species like your three factions and other pantheons."

"So that's that! We thank you for understanding! Ooh! Can you introduce us to your friends as well, so they don't try to accidentally attack us?"

"Y-Yes, of course, Natsu."

"Great! So we'll see you tomorrow, or you can the night if you want."

"Really!?"

"Don't worry about it. Akeno, we're leaving."

"But Rias, he's offering~!"

"No."

"Awww~, you're no fun. Well then, see ya Natsu, Ichigo! I'll take you up on that offer when I'm here without Rias!"

The king and queen disappeared into the gremory clan portal back to their clubroom. Ichigo turned to Natsu with an angry glare on his face.

"Can you go more than five minutes without flirting?"

"Who knows?"

"You're a bastard."

"I get that a lot."

The next day…

(I'm gonna mess with a bit of the canon to hasten things.)

It was the end of the day and Natsu and Ichigo were packing their bags. They weren't as hassled as the day before as the new student hype had died down. They both noticed a head of blonde hair walk through the door.

"Natsu and Ichigo, I came to bring you to the clubroom. You too, Hyoudou Issei."

"No~! Don't hang around that pervert, he'll corrupt you guys!"

"Nah, don't worry about it girls! I'm already called a pervert by my friend so I'll be fine~!"

"Pervert."

"Seeeeeee! I don't know why I get this behaviour though…"

Ichigo ignored him and followed Kiba out the door. Natsu kept yammering away his lament at Ichigo. Issei was at a complete loss of words. Today had just been really weird for him, he dreamed that he was stabbed through and then woke up feeling like the sun was killing him. Figuratively, of course. He followed the group in a daze, wondering what they wanted with him.

They made their way to the old school building, followed by the whispers and rumors about why the three princes of Kuoh were together. Some of what was being said made Ichigo blush deeply, his prudish nature still showing through after 15 years. Natsu laughed at Ichigo's misfortune and Kiba said nothing, he had heard worse.

As they walked through Occult Research Club doors all of them heard the sound of running water and saw a shape moving behind frosted glass. Akeno smiled at them and Natsu smiled back, Ichigo nodded in her direction, still keeping his stoic front, for all intents and purposes. Issei, for some reason, was leaking blood from his nose and was staring lecherously at the silhouette behind the glass. Kiba went and joined a small white-haired girl that was busy eating some sweets. Natsu and Ichigo took a seat on the sofa, and while they looked comfortable they still radiated a casually dangerous aura, as if they could leap into action in an instant. Rias then exited the shower, still drying her wet hair.

"Sorry, I usually shower after school."

"And you have a shower in the clubroom? I don't think Natsu would even do something like that for his own convenience."

"You're wrong Ichigo! I'm just too lazy to actually get it done!"

"Don't sound so proud about that!"

Natsu turned his head away, while Ichigo continued to stare daggers into his crown. They were interrupted by a light-hearted giggle from the only redhead in the room.

"Oh, you two."

Ichigo, unfortunately, noticed the sparkles in Akeno's and Natsu's eyes. He could only sigh in defeat.

"Ara Rias, that sounds like you really care for them."

"No! That's not it!"

"Ehhh, so you don't care about us? I'm hurt! There's a pain in the left side of my chest, ahh!"

Natsu dramatically clenched the aforementioned anatomical part and looked skywards as if in prayer for his life.

'Dammit! If Natsu can tease, I'll do it too!'

"Ahh! Rias! Even after our double dates last night? Do you really not care about that either? It's painful!"

Ichigo also clenched his shirt in his hands and slammed his head down on Natsu's shoulder.

"I guess me and Ichigo will just be the not cared about for the rest of our lives!"

Natsu clasped his hand over his face, but he gave it away when he peeked through his fingers to see Rias' reaction. In a non-quiet whisper he spoke to Ichigo.

"I think she saw through us."

"Pfft. Hahaha!"

Ichigo couldn't hold it in when he glanced up at Rias. The cold deadpan on her face could've been smashed against a wall and still remain hard and unharmed. By then all four of them were laughing. Kiba ended it by lightly coughing in the palm of his hand and discreetly nodding in the direction of the very clueless school pervert. Natsu and Ichigo got off the floor and sat themselves back onto the couch. Akeno had already returned to her usual serene self, and Rias had copied Kiba's action of coughing into her fist and leant back onto the mahogany desk at the center back of the room.

"Issei Hyoudou we apologise for our lack of professionalism."

"nah, it's okay."

"Do you know why we've brought you here?"

"I'm in trouble?"

"Nope. You may remember someone of the name Yūma Amano, right?"

"How do you know her?!"

"Because she killed you last night."

"T-That's crazy! I mean, I'm standing right here! How could I have been killed!"

"Because I reincarnated you to be my servant, as a devil."

With that sentence her devil wings sprang out along with the other members of the ORC. Issei's own wings startled him when they appeared. Natsu and Ichigo weren't quite expecting this either, bu their faces remained pensive.

"I'm a devil!"

"Devils, Angels and Fallen Angels all exist in this world as the Three Factions."

"But what does that have to do with my death?"

"Because the fallen angel Raynare believed you to possess a power that was dangerous so they nipped you at the bud. Do you play chess?"

"Eh? No?"

"In chess there are six different pieces. The king which is me as well as the queen, bishop, knight, rook and pawn. You took all 8 of my pawns."

"But pawns are useless!"

"No. If a pawn were to move into the territory deemed as the enemy's, by the king, they will be able to promote to whatever piece they choose."

"I don't understand, but that sounds awesome!"

"Also, eventually, as you gain more achievements you could become a king of your own peerage."

"My. Own. Harem!"

'An~d he said it.'

"I can become the harem king and be surrounded by beautiful girls that will do whatever I tell them to because I am their king!"

Issei's lips became a blur as he began to describe, in clear detail, what he would do to his peerage members. Much to the obvious disgust of someone.

"Pervert. Stay at least 10 meters away if you want to keep your future."

Issei clenched his thighs and protectively placed his hands in front of his manhood, in fear.

"Oh you can try doing that to protect yourself but it wouldn't help. I've heard little Koneko-chan in the gym punching bags."

"For now, we'll introduce ourselves, I'm Rias Gremory."

Rias gestured for Akeno to continue.

"My name is Akeno Himejima, Rias' queen."

"Kiba Yuuto, her knight."

"Koneko Toujou, rook."

"Ok! That's everyone! Do you have any questions?"

"What are the transfer students doing here?"

"Yes, that reminds me! Koneko, Kiba this is Natsu and Ichigo, they aren't devils but are also supernatural so treat them well."

"Yes, President!"

"So now that makes 5. Hmmm. Rias?"

"Yes Natsu?"

"Could you also head up the student council so that they don't attack us either?"

"How did you know that the student council were devils!"

"I already know all of the devil's presence at this school. All your little aspects of your daily lives, like when Koneko would do her training or where you guys would spend most of your time. You probably don't know it, but you're careless with your magical presence, you're leaving residue all over the place. This is one of the reasons why we use these bodies. Although I'm sure Ichigo with his immense spiritual pressure could still hide it better than you guys."

"I don't know whether to be insulted or surprised."

"There is nothing to be insulted about if you never realised it in the first place, however just keep it in mind that there might be someone less peaceful that could always come along."

"Of course."

"So, what will happen now?"

"I guess everyone is dismissed for now. We'll return tonight to hunt down a stray devil, that'll be your chance to learn how a peerage fights. Issei, I'm also expecting you to join."

"Ichigo, isn't tonight training night though?"

"You have a job to do."

"Oh, that's right."

Natsu looked dejectedly at the floor.

I'm going to leave it here otherwise I'll be writing forever.
