Prologue—
Eighteen years after the Great War, a devil was born with Lucifer's blood flowing through his veins. He has jet black waist length hair accompanied by piercing red eyes with a permanent scar going down his right eye and a muscular physique. The teenage devil was born without a family but the memories of who he's related to. Unlike the bat-like wings all devils are born with, his were the exact opposite of the nightly creatures instead he was born with wings of an Angel, and he has fourteen of them. And as for the power this young devil wielded... well he has all 72 of the gifts that his ancestors once wielded.
The young devil has no purpose in life so he went into hiding until the Evil Piece system was created and he could rebuild the household his forefather once thrived in.
560 Years Later—
"I've been gone for far too long, these devils have grown weak. Perhaps it is time I make my presence known, and finish what my ancestor started." A black haired devil said as he stood on his balcony with his hands on the railing. He stood at a decent height of six feet tall and wore only a black robe and slacks.
The Underworld that the one before him was trying to create with peace and prosperity amongst all devils, had changed to where only the devils born of noble blood were treated fairly while low-class society was treated as nothing more than slaves, which was something that should not be allowed to transpire.
"No one is treated fairly and the low-class resorted to making themselves a slave to noble blood." He squeezed the railing, making the railing have an impression of his finger prints.
Suddenly he sensed a hybrid devil and a nekomata being chased by an army of pure blood devils. This black haired pure blooded devil was beyond pissed off not by the fact that a reincarnated devil was being experimented on, but the fact that they were being hunted down like some rabid animal for protecting themselves.
He takes off his robe and summons a black magic circle underneath his feet, and heads to the location of the numerous energy signatures.
Unknown Location—
The black haired devil reappeared right behind the army of devils right before they were getting ready to attack the hybrid devil and what he assumed was her little sister. They were unaware of his presence due to the fact that they were too focused on their targets, so as the black haired devil raised his hand in the air, as did the devils who were now confused as to what was causing them to be lifted off the ground without the use of their wings.
"Wh-What's going on?" One of the troops confusingly asked, as the black haired devil then snapped his fingers causing their air to be diminished and their necks to break instantly.
He walks towards the sisters as the black nekomata/devil hybrid stood protectively in front of a trembling white haired nekomata, then he stops a few feet away from the two and holds his hands up defensively.
"I mean no harm, I merely sensed a devil in need of my help is all." He spoke with a soft voice, causing for the black hybrid devil to lower her defenses. "My name is Issei Lucifer, what's yours?" He introduces and asks at the same time.
"K-Kuroka, and this is my little sister Shirone." She introduced herself and the white haired little girl.
The now named Issei gestures as if asking for permission to come closer, Kuroka hesitantly nodded allowing Issei to approach the two girls. He noticed that Kuroka was injured and her sister was exhausted and from the looks of it... starving.
"In exchange for shelter and a hot meal, you'll give me an explanation. Deal?" He held out his hand, which they were in no going to pass up.
Kuroka took his hand in hers and shook it, while saying with a thankful look on her face.
"Deal!"
Then the three of them disappeared in the shadows of their reflection in the moonlight.
Lucifer Manor—
Arriving in a few seconds later to a warm candlelit living room, the maids were quickly alerted to the presence of their master and two unknown energies, and rushed to his aid. He told them that he was unharmed and to tend to the two girls' needs.
"Prepare a meal of their choosing, a hot bath, and a single room for these two. They'll be staying with us until further notice." Issei orders his maids, who nod and immediately went to tend to their tasks. "Now, until they return, you and I need to have an important conversation." Issei says with a soothing tone of voice.
"R-Right, w-well before I killed my previous master, I allowed him to experiment on me following his hopes of achieving a super-devil, but then he set his eyes on my Shirone... I- she's just an innocent little girl, I couldn't allow him to harm her so I killed him and his peerage then fled with my sister, and that's when you showed up." Kuroka explained.
Protecting a family member from harm is always a reason to do something that could cost your freedom, or in this case, her life.
"Well, you're safe here and free to stay as long as you like." Issei said, while healing Kuroka's wounds as the maids came back to retrieve Shirone.
Kuroka became curious as to why he would go out of his way to help her and her sister. Sure she thought he was cute, judging by the pink tint on her cheeks as he worked his magic on healing her injuries, but why though?
"Hey, can I ask you a question?" Kuroka asked, receiving a nod in response. "Back there, why did you save us?"
"I sensed... fear." Issei paused the healing process and looked up Kuroka. "To be more specific, I sensed your fear." He continued, finishing up her healing. "It wasn't the fear of dying no, it was fear of losing your last relative." Issei finished his explanation and her healing at the same time. "There, all healed. Now, why don't you go and join your sister, I'm sure she's been wondering what's taking her big sister so long." Issei adds with a pat on her head, causing for Kuroka to let a purr escape her mouth, not that she really cares, she and her sister was safe and that's all that matters.
"What does it take to join your peerage?" Kuroka asks all of a sudden, shocking Issei to the very core of his being. She wanted to know before she went off to bathe with her sister.
Issei paused his petting, much to Kuroka's dismay and replied.
"Uh, nothing I guess. Why are you interested?" He asked, curiously looking at Kuroka who nodded at his response. "Alright then, first let's get rid of your previous piece and replaced with the piece your power deserves..." Issei paused again and politely asked. "Can you lay down for me?"
As Kuroka laid down on her back in front of the fireplace, Issei summons a black magic circle underneath Kuroka's back, then gently removes her previous Bishop piece and replace it with his own Queen piece.
After the ritual was complete, Kuroka jumped up from a laying position and tackled Issei to the ground profusely thanking him.
"It was nothing, my Queen." Issei lets her head again making her purr cutely, and release the tails she was hiding. "Now if you don't mind, I think you might wanna bathe, dinners almost ready." He suggested.
"As you wish, my King."
Kuroka stood up helping Issei up in the process, and bowed before skipping off with the maid that was patiently waiting for her to usher her to the hot springs where her little Shirone was.
Scene Skip—
Seven years later after Issei went and demanded that his Queen be exonerated from her crimes, showing them video proof that she had every right in killing a monstrosity in order to protect her last family member, which gained Kuroka the freedom she desired. Now she was off in search of prospects for her master, while still cautiously looking over her shoulder. Her sister Shirone, or as she prefers to be called now, Koneko became the first Rook of the Lucifer peerage, she now goes to Kuoh Academy as a first year student. Issei also decided to enroll there, seeing as he has nothing better to do with all of his free time.
"Alright class, as most of you might have a rumor going around about there being a new student joining us. Well, those rumors are true, so give him a warm welcome and try your best to act with decency." A female in her mid to late forties said quieting her class. She waited for the class to give their response, which was soon received.
"Yes ma'am!" The class all replied at once.
The teacher nodded in affirmation before going to the door and retrieving the silver haired devil, and making him stand in front of the class as he introduces himself to the class.
"Greetings, my names Issei Morningstar. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." Issei bowed introducing himself with a smile, while unconsciously making the entire classroom of girls blush.
His teacher cut in and told her class that they only have time for three questions, then she was starting her lesson. They accepted, and numerous hands rose in the air. Issei points to a red haired girl with a buxom figure and bluish green eyes. She was a devil of noble blood, as was the bespectacled black haired girl sitting next to the red head, that much he knew was for certain.
"Your accent is that of a foreigner, are you perhaps from a different country?" She asks.
Issei knew there was a different meaning to her question, but he answered. Lying obviously. He wasn't going to reveal himself nor where he's from to some weak devil. Hell, his Rook was stronger than her.
"Not at all, its just a consequence for speaking multiple languages, that's all. I'm from here actually." Issei said, gaining the attention of the entire class, including the teachers.
Hands rose in the air once again, and Issei chose a black haired girl with violet eyes accompanied by a physique that rivaled the red heads.
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
"As of right now, no I'm single." Issei instantly replies to the violet eyed black haired girl so everyone heard him, then he ended speaking in Enochian. "Why, are you interested?" He added, shocking the four devils in the back of the classroom with the language and dialect he just spoke in.
Enochian was considered a dead language, seeing as no one used it anymore, they all spoke in Japanese or whatever territory the devil governed in.
The next and final girl to ask her question was a petite brown haired girl with perky breasts and green eyes.
"How many languages can you speak fluently?"
Issei thought about it for a moment, then held up his hand indicating that he spoke five different languages. The girl became ecstatic about knowing someone who speaks not one, but five languages. This was going to be the topic of her and her friends gossip during their break time.
Until then, the teacher told Issei to either take the empty seat by the door next to a girl named Rias Gremory, or the seat by the window near another girl named Souna Shitori. Issei chose to sit by Rias for purposes unknown, then class begin and seeing as it was his first day she had to share her textbook with him.
Scene Skip—
The rest of the day went of without a hitch, Issei made a couple of friends, as did Koneko. Now that school has ended, all of the students said their goodbyes and headed on home, which wasn't a bad idea to be honest. They were exhausted, hungry for chocolate, and get out of these restricting clothes.
"I seriously do not understand how girls can wear such tight clothing." Issei said practically ripping off his shirt.
Koneko went and plopped herself down on the couch with her stash of chocolate. She scarfed a chocolate bar the size of Issei's arm in a matter of seconds, before she gave her response.
"The only thing I like tight on me are my panties, I don't know about anyone else." Koneko bluntly replies, as she opens up another large chocolate bar and begins taking smaller bite.
Sometimes Koneko was to honest for her own good. If anything, she didn't know how to lie or make up a convincing story, which was the quality Issei looked for in the people he reincarnated.
"Eh, no matter. I'm just glad it's the weekend and I don't have to wear that ridiculous outfit." Issei says taking a spot on the couch with his white haired Rook, who instantly takes her place on his lap and leans back into his muscular chest.
Now normally they'd enjoy a quiet evening watching tv and eating snacks, but this isn't a normal evening is it? No, unexpected visitors were making their way towards his house, one emitting dangerous amounts of killing intent, while the other was of neutrality, she couldn't care less about what they were intending to do.
Outside of the Lucifer residence was a red haired voluptuous female, two long black haired females, one has glasses, while the other has a orange ribbon tying her hair into a high ponytail, then there was the other short black haired bespectacled female. They were all wearing the signature Kuoh Academy uniform, and was patiently waiting for the red head to knock on his door. And before she was able to knock a third time, the door was flung open revealing an annoyed white haired nekomata.
"May I help you with something?" She asked annoyingly. This was ruining her lap time with her master.
They all looked at Koneko in awe of actually seeing another nekomata besides the two that's in the red heads fiancés peerage. This was news to them as they thought there weren't any other nekomatas still existing. However, the four of them couldn't dwell in their awestruck moods, because they had more important matters to attend to.
"Is this the Morningstar residence?" The bespectacled bob cut wearing black haired girl spoke.
Koneko looks at them when a raised eyebrow. This is the Lucifer residence, not the Morningstar residence.
"This is the Morningstar residence." She clarifies for the four girls on the doorstep. "Now what can I help you with?" She asked.
"Issei Morningstar, is he around, I'd really appreciate it if I could have a word with him if you don't mind." The red haired girl answered the white haired nekomata.
"Issei! We have guests!" Koneko calls out to her master. "Right this way, miss..." she paused looking at the red head for her name.
Although she was waiting to hear it from the girl herself, Issei approached the five girls who where heading towards the living room, and called out her name.
"Rias Gremory, sister of the would be King. What can I do for you?" Issei gestures for them to take a seat in the living room, while he sits across from them with his legs crossed.
"How dare you insult my brother!" She exclaimed, no one gets away with insulting her family, not even if it's a hot guy like Issei. "My brother is the strongest most powerful Satan ever lived!" Rias shouts. This is absurd how could an unknown would insinuate that her brother was a false King.
Ho-ho, she doesn't know the two already met and to be honest, he terrified of him, while the others saw him as someone who wants to protect what's his. Koneko began to snicker at the statement, causing for Rias to grow more upset.
"You find insulting my brother, our leader, funny?!"
"Yeah, because he's weak compared to Issei. I'd laugh at the power you wield, but I rather like this house and I don't want to upset my master." The nekomata said truthfully, while angering Rias even further.
Rias' destructive aura surrounded her the moment the insults were redirected to her.
"Are you calling me weak?"
Issei snaps his fingers causing her destructive aura to diminish into thin air, making Rias widen her eyes in shock.
"H-How did you do that?"
All traces of anger ceased to exist and now replaced with utter confusion and shock. He just completely shut off her powers with the snap of his fingers.
"Like Koneko said, I rather enjoy this house, so pull another stunt like that again and take your powers, clear?" Issei's piercing red eyes began glowing an ominous red emphasizing that he'll follow through with his threat.
Rias, as well as the other two nodded in recognition to his threat, the girl with the orange ribbon in her hair and violet eyes was staring at Issei interestingly the entire time not saying a word.
"Good. Now what can I do for you, heiress of Gremory?" Issei asked in a more polite manner, one that would normally melt the hearts of many women, married or not.
She recomposes herself while clearing her throat, before she explains her reason for being at his home at this hour.
"I'm having this issue with someone who won't leave me alone." Rias began. "I'm supposed to be his fiancé, but I know nothing about him, and all he sees when he looks at me is a trophy." She finished her explanation while holding her head down.
"Have you told him this?" Issei asked.
"The bastard won't listen to me. He says I have no right to demand anything from him."
The way Rias spoke of this person, it was as Issei was looking and speaking to himself.
Issei opened up a comm. circle calling his Queen to find out her progress. And to his surprise, she replied that she'd be returning home within the hour and she has a surprise for him.
"When are you expecting to receive a visit from this devil?"
"At the end of the month." Rias Gremory replies quickly. She hoped that he would help her out of this situation, even though they just met earlier. And if she was being honest with herself, she found him to be rather attractive, so that was a win... she hoped. "Are you saying that you'll help me with this?"
Issei merely nods his head.
"But first, I want the four of you to solemnly swear that not a word of this conversation leaves these walls." He says, receiving a prodding finger poking his side. Koneko was looking at him as if saying that this is a bad idea, which she voiced.
"Are you sure this is a wise decision? I mean with everything you've worked so hard on trying to stay out of, Are you sure you want to reveal your biggest secret of all?"
Her response was a confident smile and a pat on her head. She closed her eyes responding to the unsaid confirmation. She trusted him, and if he wants to seal his fate by helping a random devil, then she'd be right there alongside him every step of the way.
