Prologue

Unknown P.O.V

I, am but a test a facility that is trying to achieve a goal. A goal that involves the holy sword, Excalibur. The holy sword Excalibur, one of the swords made by God from the bible. The God that we pray too.

As a test subject, and as one of the children gathered for the project of the Church. They gathered children like me who have no family and who also have a special ability for their project in order to make us capable of wielding the holy sword Excalibur artificially.

Every day, day after day, it is a day of experiments. It was full with harsh experiences, but since we were told that we would become a special being that would one day be chosen by God, my comrades and I didn't even have the slightest fear.

Here, there's also a boy here, that doesn't interact with anyone other than me. Day in, day out. All he does is sit there, looking at the ground. And the word he uses is "Uguu" when talking to me. That's all he says, usually. I don't know what it means exactly, if it means anything at all that is.

The boy has bright sky blue eyes that are completely innocent. He has a hair that colour that might be called unusual. Magenta. The colour of his hair is magenta. His hair is shoulder length, and he always has two ribbons in his hair, one tied at each side. I don't know the significance behind it, but it seems to be important to him as he wont let anyone touch them, not even the researchers here. He even bit one of them once for trying to take them away.

I don't know what it is about him either that draws me to him. Strange. One day though. One day, we will leave this place together, and live together. We can endure this then we can leave and be with one another.

I went over to him. He looked up at me with the smallest of smiles.

"Hello again."

"Uguu."

I know he can say other words as he has done that before. But he usually doesn't say much besides that. But that's also fine. He doesn't have to say much to me. I already get him.

"Are you okay?"

"Uguu...fine. I...uguu."

"I see. How...is your body?"

He patted his body with a smile. Hehe, I like his attitude towards all this anyway. He is always happy, even if he doesn't speak much. Well, when I say 'always happy' I mean that he is very good at hiding his true feelings.

"Uguu, good."

"That's good. Say, want to talk about our dreams again?"

"Uguu, okay."

So, we started talking about our dreams. They are pretty much similar. To leave this place and be with one another. I talk to others here, but he doesn't. No one else will talk to him just because he doesn't speak much.

If I had the choice, I don't think I would talk much either. Everyone has their own particular ways of dealing with things, and I guess this is a way for him to deal with it.

Suddenly, the door is swung violently open! A man appears at the door.

"Come on you brats!"

We are all gathered together and lead somewhere. My hand went for his, in nervousness. I don't know what's happening. Is this another experiment?

We were gathered at one location and they put gas over us. My hands became paralysed, my legs stopped moving, and my body went through intense pain as if I had my nervous system slashed.

There were many liquids including my tears and blood coming out from my body, and only pain conquers my body.

Then my consciousness weakens...and I was about to die.

Many of my comrades die while suffering in front of me. I didn't even imagine that the researchers who are trying to do something special to us and who also believe in the same God as us would turn their fangs at us.

My body was hit with pain and cramps, and my eyes started to get blurry.

I dropped on my knees and tried to soften the pain running through my body by stroking my body parts, but one of my comrades pushed away one of the researchers. Its him! He pushed open the door and then came for me. He picked me up, carrying me bridal style despite the pain he must be feeling also.

"We're going now uguu."

With that, we left the room immediately. I don't want to die. I don't want him to die. I can't walk. It hurts too much to even breathe this in. We escaped the researchers and he ran with me in his arms as fast as he could.

"Stop!"

"Don't let them escape!"

However, the pursuers persistently chased after us.

Within the forest of the mountains while the snow fell, he simply continued to run with me in his arms, never wavering. Always running, protecting me from those people.

I started to remember the days I spent at the laboratory while escaping with him.

My comrades who made a promise with me to become a special being. We ate together, we sang together, and we laughed together.

However they died. Only I was able to escape because of this boy. He could've left me there, but he saved me. Why? Why did he pick me among everyone else? Was it, because we have connected the most? Others have bigger dreams than me, yet he chose to save me...

Trip!

Eventually, it became too much for him, and he fell in the snow, and I fell next to him.

"Sorry, uguu. I...can't...continue on...Excalibur uguu...needs to be...destroyed...uguu..."

I clenched my fists together as pain coursed through my pain. It hurts too much. But I bit my lip and outstretched my hand for his. If we die, we die together. I took his hand in my own, and we both looked at one another, and smiled. We smiled in the embrace of death. Death brings us closer together...we are the people who escaped...he saved me from...dying there and we die out here...

"Its...okay uguu...I will...look after...you as well...wherever we go...uguu..."

Ironic. The most he talks is when we are about to die. Is that something he should be doing? Talking as we are about to die? I...wish to live with him...forever. We can, exact revenge on Excalibur together. We can, always be together...

"I...can't forgive them..."

"Uguu...always burning huh...always...burning..."

"Heee...that's me..."

"Burning...always...burning..."

His eyes, are closing...don't die before me. Lets go together...or survive together. We...can do either...I don't wish us to die...I wish us to live! I...want us to...live! Is it hard to conceive...I want to believe that we...even we can have a chance at...we want to...yes, we can...I want to...

"Don't...go..."

"I...just need to...rest my eyes...uguu..."

"Please don't..."

I couldn't speak anymore. His hand, has become unlinked with mine and fell into the cold snow. When I was about to follow after him, I saw a colour in front of me. A crimson colour.

I could see her smiling even though my eyes were blurry.

"What do you two seek for?"

She asked me that while she held me and him who are about to die. Is this it...who is this girl?

When I opened my eyes, there was a room of a certain house. I'm…laying down on a bed?

I was a bit panicked seeing an unfamiliar ceiling.

…I had gas thrown on me at the laboratory and I escaped from there with the help from him…

I was wandering in that forest with him. I then meet a girl with crimson hair…?

I…why am I here like this in an unfamiliar room…? Was I brought back to the laboratory…?

While I had many doubts, the door opened and a small girl with a basin comes in. …She had cat-like ears growing from her head. …Is she a monster?

"…!"

The girl realised I was awake and rushed out of the room while she carried the basin with her.

"Uguu..."

A noise next to me. I turned my attention to that direction...he's next to me! I shook his body, his eyes fluttered ever so slightly, then he faced in my direction. He opened his eyes, and smiled.

"Uguu...where are we?"

"I, don't really know. I just saw a girl with cat-like ears come into the room but she then left."

[Ara ara, did they wake up? I see, that's a relief. I must call Rias then.]

I heard the voice of another person from the door that was left opened. We looked at one another before standing up, grasping one another's hands and made our way to the door.

We looked outside the door slowly. A spacious room. It was a living room. There were tables and such that were used for normal daily living.

My sight grasped hold of a girl with black hair and the girl from before who had beast ears.

I showed myself after the black haired girl left the living room. The girl with beast ears sensed my presence and hid behind the wall while she had her body stiff.

"…"

She looked at us silently.

The black haired girl appeared shortly after that and she brought a crimson haired girl with her. Both the girls seemed as though their age wasn't different to me. They seemed to be thirteen or fourteen years old.

As soon as the crimson haired girl appeared, the girl with beast ears hid behind her. It seemed like she was really attached to her.

The crimson haired girl said it while she smiled.

"Please don't bully this girl. She's really bad with people. She's called Koneko, so do take care of her. The other girl with black hair is called Akeno."

When the crimson haired girl pats the head of the girl with beast ears, the girl called Koneko seemed like she was happy.

"Devils uguu..."

He said to me. D-Devils? Yes, feeling their auras, I can sense that they are Devils. He grabs a pair of scissors from a table nearby and points them at the Devils before us.

"Tell us where we are before I slit each of your throats uguu!"

The crimson haired girl laughed at his action. She didn't even get mad at his behaviour.

"We're in Japan. Do you know where it is? It's an island country located in the Far East. It's one of several places in the world where it's peaceful. I brought you both here since you both had faces close to that of a Japanese person. This is my temporary residence in Japan."

Japan? Peaceful? Her temporary residence?

It's a situation I couldn't come to understand. Why are we here in Japan when we fell in the forest in Europe?

I couldn't stop panicking but when the crimson haired girl and black haired girl nod their heads to each other, they had bat-like wings grow out from their back.

Wings of Devils.

She then said this while putting on a gentle face that wasn't so devilish.

"I am Rias Gremory. I'm the heiress of the House of Gremory, a high class Devil. And you both are also..."

The girl who named herself as Rias points her finger at our backs.

Then I felt a sensation of something growing out from my back. When I looked that way, there were jet black wings growing out...

"You already died once. That's why I reincarnated you both as Devils."

"Uguu...we can leave now."

Taking my hand, we walked towards the door, but she got in front of us with arms outstretched.

"Sorry, but I can't let you both leave. You both are my servant Devils. If I let you leave, then I wouldn't be doing a good job as your new Master."

"I...didn't ask to be reborn...I would've rather died in that forest than being reborn as a Devil...stupid girl."

Hearing his disgruntled voice, the girl cast her eyes downwards in sadness.

"B-But I..."

"Uguu, waste of time. You only want power for your group of Devils as we were taught about. Lets go uguu, unless you want to stay with them uguu?"

He directed at me. Of course I don't want to be near Devils.

"Y-Yes, lets go."

So we started walking towards the door after pushing past the red head, but it then opened. Who appeared was a woman. A woman with long black hair that's tied into two side ponytails. She is wearing a bright outfit that pink in general colour with white mixed in as well. The girl has a happy expression on her face, but she has a dense aura.

"Ara, Rias-chan. What's going on?"

"S-Serafall-sama. This boy, and girl are trying to leave the mansion here. I have tried to convince them to stop, but he threatened to slit open my throat if I attempted to stop him. But Serafall-sama what are you doing here?"

"Well, Sirzechs-chan said that you got two new cute servants so I came to see them for abit."

The newly named Serafall-sama looked down at the boy who is my only friend, and smiled.

"You know, it isn't good to try and kill people. So, will you be cute and give me the scissors?"

"No uguu."

He denied her immediately. She sighed with a smile and bent down to meet his gaze. But, within seconds, he slashed at her eyes with the scissors. The girl jumps back from the attack, and sends some what appears to be demonic power at the scissors, freezing them instantly, then she clicks her fingers, shattering them.

"Hehe, you can't try and be naughty and kill me, you know? Its really bad."

"Lucky shot uguu. Next shot, wont be so lucky."

He clenched his fists together, a white aura surrounded his fists. The feeling is that of holy power. Is that holy power? Or magic? Why can he use such power? He glared at the named girl, Serafall with such intensity.

"Move, or I will kill you with this uguu."

"Ooh, I don't want to die though~ Cant we be friends instead?"

"Never uguu!"

He charged at Serafall, ready to punch her. Getting close to her, he made a jab at her, but she simply somersaulted over him and karate-chopped the back of his neck, knocking him out!

"W-What did you just do to him!?"

I demanded. The girl looked at me, with a smile.

"He's agitated, he needed to sleep a little more. So, I made him sleep. He'll be fine, I didn't hurt him."

"Didn't hurt him my eye! You knocked him out!"

"Yes, but he's fine. Geez Rias-chan, your peerage sure are feisty like always."

"Yes. It seems that I will have to try harder in my efforts to make them see that we're not evil, or out to get them. I, just wish for them to have a normal, happy life."

A normal happy life. If that's the case, then why doesn't she just let us leave? I don't want to be near Devils, and he has clearly made it so that he doesn't want to be near Devils either.

...Hours later, I find myself sitting across from Rias Gremory. The boy beside me has just woken up, and is being watched carefully by the woman named Serafall. From their point of view, he attacked them without just cause. But, he does have a reason. We were told that Devils weren't good at all. So of course we wouldn't want to be near them.

"...Want to eat together?"

"Denied uguu."

Rias asked him, but he denied her. I was already eating because I'm really hungry. Even if they are Devils, they are being kind, for the most part. Knocking him out wasn't nice at all. Even if he was only trying to break free with me, they didn't have to do that.

"Erm...about before, it seems I didn't explain myself that well. From what I presume you know, Devils with peerages like mine are servants, yes?"

"Right uguu."

"I see. Then, you have a misconception about the me you see before you. I am actually a Devil who treats my 'servants', as they are technically called, as my family. I don't see you as a servant, but as my family. And since you both are apart of my peerage, you are apart of my family. Did that maybe clear up a few things for you both?"

"Even if you treat them like family, they are still servants uguu. No matter what you say, we will always be your servants, having to follow your command uguu. So, we went from lab rats to servants. Which is worse uguu?"

Rias, hearing that hangs her head low. I can see where she is coming from, but she has to understand our side of it also. We have just been told we are Devils and now we are going to be servants of a Devil. Even treated as family, we aren't nothing but servants to a Devil that has just admitted that we are servants, even if we are apart of her supposed family.

"But, it isn't like I am going to treat you badly. I only wish to treat you both right. As my servants..."

"As my servants uguu. If I said that to you, would you be as receptive to the idea as you wish us to be uguu?"

"I...guess I would be wary of it yes. Truthfully, I can't make you see anything you do not wish to see. So, until you wish to see my kindness, I will just have to shower you both in kindness. I will treat you a lot better than you previously were treated."

I sensed like she was trying to connect with us, but...

"Uguu! No!"

Rias looked disheartened by his words. However, he gave a defiant shake of his head.

"Aah! Rias-chan! I will take him and educate him!"

"W-Wait, Serafall-sama. What are you trying to suggest?"

The disbelieving eyes of Rias turned to the hyperactive girl.

"You know, if he's a danger to you, then I will take him and get through to him! Muuu, he and So-tan can connect also!"

"W-Wait, hold on Serafall-sama. I do not wish for my new servant to be taken away from me so unjustly. Can there be another way where you don't take him away and educate him?"

"Nope~ I have to educate him~ And it has to be now~"

She walked over to him, stared into his eyes and then hugged him!

"Uguuuuuuuuuu!"

He tried to break free from her but she had a tight grip around his body, seemingly not budging an inch.

"I'LL BITE YOU IF YOU DON'T LET GO UGUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"

Even with the threat, she didn't let go at all. So, he actually tried to bite her face, but she moved out of the way with her head, never releasing him from her grip.

"LET GO UGUU!"

"So adorable~ Uguu~! Lets go uguu boy~ Say Rias-chan, have you a name for this boy here?"

"N-Not yet, but I will be sure to come up with one. However, I don't believe that you should..."

But it was a little late. Serafall lifted him over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes and started her walk out of the room. He tried to break free from the girl, but she seems to be too strong for him.

"Don't worry Rias-chan~ I'll look out for him~"

"B-But that's my most important servant..."

But her words fell on deaf ears as she took him away! S-Should I also...

"Don't worry, Serafall-sama wouldn't hurt my newest servant. She's just very eccentric. From now on, I will also look out for you and him both."

Her words, I don't know whether to believe them or not. She is going to look out for us, yet she just let that person take away her new servant. But, was it possible to stop that woman? She seemed to be on a mission.

And that's the end of the first chapter! I was originally going to post this two days ago on my birthday but due to various reasons, I couldn't post this till now.

Now I know what you are thinking. WHY THE HELL IS HE IN RIAS' PEERAGE!? Or something along those lines, right? Well, the reason is because I barely have him in her peerage and Rias, is going to be paired with this character, who's name ISN'T going to be Makoto. It will be another name and that is Yuuya Shirayuki.

And yes, you read right, he and Rias will be together because I rarely do that pairing at all. That's unchangeable. But the rest of the harem...well Serafall is definite, Yumi as they were at the same facility together and bond well, but besides that though, I don't really have an idea so, anyone can suggest! Well, until next time!

Yuuya; Rias, Serafall, Yumi (fem Kiba).

Issei; Asia, Akeno, Irina.
