A New Beginning
(AN: First Fanfiction on here. I do not own High School DxD however I gladly own OC's. Just a forewarning. Some characters will seem OCC, this stems from the fact that my character is not a God/Issei. He is his own different person who puts his own spin on things. I don't have a Beta reader and am operating on Wordpad so no spell-check.)
Griffin groaned as he rolled and picked up his phone. Upon answering his eyes shot open and he sat up, fully awake and responding.
"Hello Sir. No, I was just resting for my mission tonight... I understand Sir. I shall make my way at once to the town of Kouh and infiltrate Kouh Academy to protect the target. What are the expect assassins. Acknowledged, unknown number of Fallen Angels, lethal force maybe used if target is in danger and target is not to know of my presence. Is there any other force at work in the town or shall I have to contend with them?.. Two Peerages of Devils? Unknown family at that? Acknowledged, the mission is go as of now...yes... good bye" Griffin hung up and whipped the phone at the wall, listening to it bounce off. "Lousy father. I swear..." He grumbled standing up and pulling on his uniform.
This consisted of a mottle of black and grey trousers tucked into black combat boots. The trousers had three hidden weapons, and the pocket really open to a sheath on his thigh containing a tanto. His chest was covered by a tunic with small plate metal woven into it. The metal made no noise and offered protection in his line of work. A series of belt went on, including the shoulder sheath, which held his hand and a half, double edged staight sword. It was a black metal that had no gleam to it. His face was covered up to his eyes with a light mask that was breathable and a hood that covered his black spikey hair
Picking up his phone he grabbed a small bag and slung it over his shoulder. Grabbing a loose piece of wood he slashed his sword against the concrete floor, causing spark which he used to light the wood on fire, after lighting the warehouse he used as a staging area on fire he made his way to the airport, intent on making it to Japan before nightfall.
"This bastard disgusts me" Griffin grumbled as he hung upside down from a tree, peering through binoculars at a brown haired student, who was currently getting the holy hell kicked and beaten out of him by what looked like a Kendo Club. "Girl's got a decent swing though" He smirked as he tipped the view up and scanned the abandoned school building again. He kept feeling eyes upon him from there, which warrented infiltration and if neccesary exfil with cargo.
Switching his attention he saw the target get viciously kicked in the groin and suppresed a cheer. Letting himself slip off the branch he orientated himself quickly and landed on a branch, knowing it would not snap from his wait. From there it was a hop onto the hotel roof, a skip to the resturants roof below, and a jump to the alley which he scaled earlier in the morning.
He quickly made his way to the school, taking the time to stick to the forest and slip around back. Making his way onto the ground he found windows which proved to be excellent for the purpose of climbing. Finding one smaller he recognized it as a bathroom window and peered through it to see a girl with bright red hair showering. She was what most considered beatiful and had large assessts. Not to mention an okay figure, what Griffin notice was tension in her back muscels and he swore as she spun around and he was forced to drop.
Catching two windows below it he lifted it and swung his body through as the window openned above. He heard two female voices then a females and males respond before a door open. Griffin swore as he searched around for a way to hide finding nothing. So he hid where the door would hide him if opened. Drawing a needle he held it carefully as a small clear drop fell.
Two voices echoed down the hall and stopped outside the room he was in. Eventually the female said something and Griffin nearly jumped as the door flew off its hinges and smacked into the far side of the room. Instead Griffin flowed out, sticking the needle inbetween the knuckle of the small girl. He dodged back and ducked two deft cuts by a male with blonde hair before kicking him in the gut and grabbing the hair and slamming the head into his knee. He jerked the boy's body in the way of the girls punch, jumping back as the boy was torn from his grasp.
"Who are you" The girl growled and barely dodged the daggers Griffin threw at her as he kicked her in the jaw, only for the leg to be caught and him shoved into a wall, literally into it. "Give up" She said in monotone.
Griffin reached forward and stabbed another needle into her neck as he grinned, her face paling and she slumped, him catching her. As he caught her he dodged a vicious slice from Blonde and he kicked at Blonde's knees, hitting nothing as Blonde jumped back. What he didn't expect was for Griffin to throw the little ones body, forcing him to catch her and him getting punched in the face, dropping him.
"That took too long, hostages, no slow me down and can't keep pumping her full of drugs. Kill? No qualms but makes access to target harder. Escape entirely possible but still leaves how they can find me from such distance. Okay, I need to neutralize these threats, non lethal, then get answers." Griffin nodded and took off down the hall, a ball of lead settling in his stomach.
As he dashed up the stairs he drew his blade, noticing a difference, no nature sounds. That meant a barrier of some kind, so these were either the Fallen Angels, or part of the Devil faction. Which meant he was leading an assualt on enemy territory unequiped for that kind of mission. No matter he was there and shouldering the door open, rolling to narrowly avoid a lightening bolt and some fire that singed his hair.
Hiding behind a couch he breathed out and pulled out two small ceramic spheres, smashing one at his feet and chucking one behind the sofa he waited as two set of breathing got closer. Once they were in striking range he tapped the spot he smashed the ball and was warped to the other side of the room, hiding behind a desk of sorts.
"Huh? He was right here Rias" A girls voice said
"I know Akeno, unless that was some form of illusion" The other girl, Rias, said.
"Wrong" Griffin said standing up and within the second it took for them to turn he threw a multitude of those ceramic balls. Two hit a black haired women, dressed as a shrine priestess, and one hit the red haired women, in the school's uniform.
Griffin disappeared into wisps of blood as lightening and fire hit his location and Akeno grunted as Griffin appeared behind her and kicking her in the back of the knee. He then slammed the hilt of his blade into her temple and disappeared once again into blood wisps as Rias yelled out for her friend.
Griffin caught her in a choke-hold and put his blade against her stomach, making sure it cut through the uniform, but not cut skin. He pulled her towards the couch and forced it to tip back, which he threw her down on and jammed his blade into, an inch above her head.
"Talk. You could sense me. How?" He growled as he drew his tanto and ran a finger along the edge, showing the blood on his fingers to her.
"Akeno... Koneko... Kiba" She said softly, looking at her friend on the ground.
"EYES ON ME" He shouted and she glanced up terrified. "You tell me what I want to know. You get to rescue your friends. The small one is poisoned, she has thirty minutes to live without an antidote. Blonde requires medical attention. Akeno is unconscious from a temple strike, but may have a concusion." He said calmly as her face fell. "You can sense me. How?" He asked again.
"We have the whole town under a spell which informs us when certain types of things enter it. You were tagged and once it was determined the school was under your observation we were notified and watched you." She said quickly and Griffin tilted his head then nodded.
"You do not lie" He said and she reached towards Akeno, only for his boot to land on her knee. "Rias. Your friends are fine. I lied about Koneko, the small one I assume. Kiba is unconscious and has a broken nose. I am worried that Akeno may actually have a concusion but you waking her and worrying her will not help." He said quietly. "I would normally kill you for having seen me but I know you are Devils and by doing so may enrage a large population, and genocide does not look good on resumes" He gave a wry smile, receiving a disbelieving look in return.
"W...who are you?" She asked softly as Griffin sighed then shrugged.
"Name's Griffin Kage, professional assassin. I am currently sixteen, and am a Blood Mage" He said softly "I apologize profusely Rias, I assumed you wished me harm after feeling your survaliance and I did not wish for you to interupt my current mission. Forgive me" He said sinking to a knee and bowing his head.
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS THIS!? RIAS! RIAS!" A man screamed and armor clanked as it got closer. A man strode through the entrance in golden armor, a worried expression on his face, one that shifted to anger at the sight of Akeno unconcious, a blade dangerously close to his sisters head and a man, kneeling next to her, a sharp looking blade in his hand "Rias!" He yelled and a magic circle appeared in his hand, "GET BACK!"
Griffin looked back and paled, disappearing in blood wisps he appeared behind the scary man in armor, tapped him on the right shoulder, stepped left, and gave him a left cross to the head, grabbing a spaulder, and ramming the man's head into the door frame. At looking at Rias's expression he scowled.
"He was important to you right? Family? Shit your the Gremory's..." He dropped his tanto and buried his head in his hands. "Aw fuck fuck fuck I knocked out Gremory's Peerage and the King of the Underworld. I'm so fucked it's not even funny" He looked back at Rias who was looking at him wide eyed "She's in shock... and it's only Monday" He complained as he stared towards Rias, intent on calming the situation.
After reviving everyone, dodging attacks, accusations of deadly poisons, fixing broken bones, receiving gear, setting a sofa back, getting tea, calming down one royally pissed King. Griffin found himself bowing for forgiveness as Rias had her head in her hands.
"So... your an assassin" Rias asked receiving a nod "Who came here to protect someone as ordered" Receiving another nod "and wiped out my Peerage, one bishop, one knight, a queen, and to be honest a King. Not to mention my brother, all while under equipped and making it up as you go" one more nod "Can I ask you something Griffin?" She asked and he looked up. "Do you want to join my Peerage? She asked admit cries of surprise and her brother yelling for her not to.
"Umm... that's not my choice Rias... My father must approve and he will not approve of a life mission. I have other missions and targets who must be eliminated" He told her as her face fell.
"Why does it have to be his decision?" She asked as he looked away.
"I owe him my life, my mother died reviving me when I was young. She pumped her vampire blood into me, creating a hybrid. Which is why I have the pretty red orbs" He said as she saw his eyes were indeed red as blood. "I took a life from him, so I must repay him with my own" He said softly.
"Thats bullshit!" Kiba started but was shushed by Akeno and went back to icing his nose.
"I understand" Rias said softly and handed Griffin a small piece of paper. "However if you change your mind, please put a little blood on this slip of paper and I'll come" She said softly and he hesitantly took it and nodded "It was... an experience meeting you Griffin. Please if you find time stop by before you leave... without the peeking and making my Peerage feel like their training was all for nothing" She smiled and he grinned under his mask.
"Eh I'll creep by, sorry again bout knocking you all out. Old habits" He said with a shrug and went to the window.
"Griffin" Rias started and he looked back. "Use the door" She said
"Sorry, old habits" He repeated and opened the window before jumping to a nearby tree and disappearing into the forest, noting the sun was going down. "Nearly six hours of fighting, questioning, and dare I say progress made today" He said to himself, shaking of the feeling he had, some strange sadness. "Now the target always goes home a certain way..." He sighed and started towards a bridge where he knew the target would cross a freeway.
Upon reaching an observation point he watched as the target was approached by a girl, one wearing a different uniform. They talked a bit before exchanging email addresses and the male walked away with a huge grin on his face, thinking quickly Griffin threw ceramic balls on the ground, emptying his pouch, knowing now she would have to step in some of the blood. He followed the target home and made certain he was safe before following the girls tracks. He followed it to an old run down church, however he left quickly after seeing someone stick their head out the door.
"Damn barriers" He growled as he ran away "I hate them so much" He made his way towards his camp site and sniffed his clothes "So from what I assume they are dating, from the targets grin. He does not however remotely know this girl. It is also my assumption that they will go on a date soon... I may use Rias offer to visit to decrease the distance to the target. Also to purcase some new clothes, my current mission is to watch until told other wise, so normal clothes might be helpful. And I will procure the school uniform" He gently smiled and leaned against a tree, closing his eyes.
