So here it goes, hope you like it.
*Disclaimer: I don't own nothing, not even my PC, thanks mom by the way*
Prologue: Light Out. The Dawn Of Seventeen Years Old Shinji Kouki's Life.
*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEE-*
Through the sheets covering his body, a boy popped his hand up and shut the alarm bothering his ears, slowly he raised his head to get blinded by the sun penetrating his curtains.
"Ah, dammit! I payed 100 yen for those things and don't even cover the damn light!"
Grumbling, he pulled himself up from his bed, this boy was Shinji Kouki, his well-built muscular body covered by a black V neck t-shirt and white shorts, he was in really good shape for his seventeen years of age, he enjoyed training when he had the time, it was his favorite hobby after all...well, apart from eating.
Walking out of his bedroom was his bath, he lived alone in a small apartment. He had trouble already keeping everything green with his house lord, don't think buying a new and bigger place would be a good idea. The place is small, yet comfortable to be inside, the living room and kitchen are separated only by the floor mat changing to a wooden one, the only doors were the ones that separated his room and the bathroom from anything else.
Turning the bathroom lights on, he looked himself in the mirror, his black hair was a mess, as his black eyes scanned his face and surrounding, a smile came to draw on his face "Nothing a good shower can't solve", came his resolve as he slowly went to take a shower.
Removing his clothes and picking a towel that was stored in a shelve, he turned on the shower and sank in the warm water as it relaxed his body. Getting out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped on his waist and another drying his head, he went to his room and changed to his school uniform, he wore a black jacket open and had a white dress shirt with the top two buttons undone, he hated the feeling of being strangled by his clothes.
"Ok, I'm leaving now", he said to no one in particular as he opened his front door and left his home. He was close to school, so he could sleep a little more before leaving.
"Good morning Shinji"
A voice behind him said as a woman stood by his side.
"Oh, good morning Momo"
A young girl with silk-like white hair appeared next to him, she had green eyes and wore the Kuoh Academy Girls' uniform, the most noticeable part of her was her bust wich bounced each time she made a movement. She was Momo Hanakai, a second year student in Kuoh Academy, she became Shinji's friend in middle school as they started to walk together from school to their houses since they lived close to each other.
"So, early as always huh? Looks like you started to pick a like to go to school." Said Momo as she started to walk by his side, she was grabbing her bag with her two hands in front of her.
"Ahh, cut me some slack will you? its because you kept nagging me in the first year", said Shinji as he started to grumble while he held his bag behind his back with his right hand. To be honest, he hated waking up early but Momo was always ringing his doorbell when she noticed he was going late to school, so he gave up and started to use five alarm clocks to wake up early.
"Well, as part of the Student Council it is my job to keep you from getting late every day. Seriously Shinji, you almost got suspended because of it!" Momo scolded him again, seriously, this girl started to pick nagging him an habit!
"Hey, its not my fault my bed is warm, worst of all, I payed for a curtain that doesn't even cover the damn sunlight!" Shinji shouted "The clerk stole me! He said they were the best on the market!".
"It's not his fault you buy everything they say to you" The white hair girl told him as he grumbled under his breath, what caused the second year to giggle in response.
As they resumed their peaceful walk to school, they were surprised by two police cars stationed in front of a house, two police men were stopping everyone that wanted to catch a glimpse of what happened, some paramedics grabbed big bags from an ambulance stationed in front
"So...this makes it the third time in a month..." said Momo as she caught the attention of the black hair kid and turned a corner to take a shortcut to their school "This attacks are getting more and more close to our neighbourhood".
"Yeah, I heard it tends to happen at night though, it happens fast also, one witness said he couldn't even see the guy". Said Shinji as he became more serious "Just what kind of sick man does this?".
"No idea" Said Momo as she started to see his hand shake "Take care Shinji, I mean, you do tend to go to work and return late at night" The white haired girl said as her gaze darkened "It worries me what could happen to you if you get caught in the middle somehow..."
"Hey, I should be the one getting worried" Said Shinji as he caught her attention "You are leaving that Student Council of yours at night lately. Seriously Momo, stop overworking yourself like that, it makes me worry what can happen to you"
As Shinji looked to the side, he was unaware the look Momo gave him, but it soon disappeared as they arrived to Kuoh Academy. "Well, looks like we are here early again" said the white-hair girl as the boy next to her was doing a 'boohoo' sound.
Kuoh Academy is a big three stories building, in contrast to the craft Japanese houses are made, the school is more european oriented with gothic-styles architecture with big arch-like windows covering the most part of the building and the height each corridor has. Kuoh Academy was an all-girls private school but got co-ed two years before Shirou got transferred to it having passed the entrance exam.
He also noted the girls started to whisper, again.
"Geez, is that Kouki guy"
"Why is he always with Hanakai-senpai!?"
"I want to walk with her too..."
"Kyaaa! She's so dreamy!"
"Yeah! Why does she waste time with that loser?!"
"I want to beat that guy to a pulp!"
"Yeah! Why the hell does he always get the attention of that hot stuff!?"
He also noticed some guys whispering the last time he heard, geez, why everyone have to act so childish whispering and crap...and they do it so loudly too! It's not whispering if he can hear you, dammit!
"Shinji" A voice cut the teenagers thoughts "I'm going to my class now, you should do the same. And listen, what I said about the night time... I mean it. Please promise you'll be careful out there" Said Momo as she gave him a concerned look.
"Heh, dont worry Momo" Said Shinji as he grabbed his friends shoulder, calming her down "I'm a tough nut to crack and besides" He pointed to his legs "If worse comes to worse I'll just throw my shoes at them and jump off a bridge, it works once, it can twice"
A smile appeared on Momo's face as he said that "I'll hold to your word then" As a bell sounded and marked the beginning of class she started to turn to the other side "Well, I should go, classes are about to start, you might do the same Shinji"
"Yeah, yeah" Said Shinji as he turned and walked away "Anyway, see you later"
"Try to behave, ok?" Said the white haired second year as she watched his friend go, "I'll try" came the lazy response to which she giggled and walked away.
Through the corner of his ear Shinji could hear girls scream and several things being thrown, he sighed, this was going to be a long day.
"I can't believe you got beaten, again" Said our protagonist to the other that sat down next to him. Said boy was Issei Hyoudou, he is a seventeen years old teenager like Shinji that has brown hair colour to match his eyes. He was wearing the Kuoh Academy Boys' uniform, although it is dirty beyond wash now and with stains Shinji does not want to know what they are, he is known to be part of the unpopular Perverted Trio of Kuoh.
He is also his childhood friend, they live close to each other and played a lot when they were kids, they are together since elementary school and transferred together to Kuoh, although Issei befriended the rest of the Perverted Trio faster than Shirou could say it was a bad idea.
"Shove it Shinji, I don't want to hear anything about it" came the response from the body next to the black hair boy, he was resting his head in the desk, probably because of how much the Music Club smashed him with their instruments.
"But man, you gotta give credit to those girls. Who knew they could use violins as a bow" Said Shinji as he started to write something on a notepad "They are getting creative each day".
"Hey, stop writing about it!" Came the response as Issei got up and shouted to his companion "They are a-holes! They tried to stuff me with trumpets man! It was a miracle Motohama found a window to jump!" Ah, so that's how he got dirty his uniform.
"Well, in their defence, you are the idiot that went to their dress room and hid behind a table"
"You say that because you don't understand the glory of oppai!" Came Issei's response as he stood up and made the motion of grabbing two things out of thin air "The creation of Gods! The treasure every man wants to take! He, who doesnt bask in the glory of oppai cannot be considered a man after all!"
"Nicely said, Issei!" Said Motohama as he appeared behind the kid and waving like preaching him, "That's why you're our friend, boss!" Said Matsuda as he started to cry man tears and clapping.
Shinji started to deadpan as he watch the spectacle before him, no wonder why they were called the Perverted Trio. The two next to Issei were Matsuda and Motohama, the first being a bald guy with well built body, probably because of being a former jock in middle school, he went by the name of 'Perverted Baldy' and Issei always said that he had the ability to find good high-quality pornography; the latter is a kid with the same stature as Issei, he has brown hair and a pair of glasses that gave him the look of someone mature and smart but, on the contrary, was part of the unpopular group of Kuoh, he is often called by Issei as 'Three Size Scouter' since he can calculate a females body measurements just by looking at the girl.
"You guys are unbelievable" Finally said Shinji as he watched how all the females of the classroom started to move away from them, probably because of being scared or felt the heavy stares the group gave them, or just the both. "You know, I kinda doubt you'll find a girlfriend if you always get a nosebleed from staring at them, Issei" Came the black hair kid pun to try and stir things up.
"Ha! Says you!" Said Motohama to defend his friend, "You might be surrounded by hot stuff like Momo-" Shinji's eye twitched "-but you cant even get a girlfriend, you damn wuss!".
"At least he can talk to girls, unlike you bunch" Came the response from behind Shinji, as he looked back to see who it was, he was surprise to see two green orbs staring down at him enough to make him uncomfortable. This girl is Aika Kiryuu, she is known as the 'Queen of Perverts', she is wearing the Kuoh Academy Girls' uniform that made a match with her pink, circle rimmed glasses, just like Motohama, she had the ability to calculate sizes just by looking, although she did it in on men, way more often to Shinji who she started to hang out on the first year of high school.
"Hey there Shinji" Came Aikas respond as she came closer to the group, the black haired teenager waved at her with a 'yo', "Anyway, he is right you know? You won't lay a hand on anyones breast until you guys stopped acting like society's pariah", she said to the Trio, even if the girl looked fragile she has a way with words, like, harsh words.
"Says the girl who can't stop looking at crotches all day" Came Matsuda's respond, Shinji thought that, even if these guys were Kuoh's pariah, they at least were protecting each other when faced, tends to show how they care for each other, "So, if you are done protecting your 'boyfriend' here-" Shinji's eye twitched further "-we were in the middle of something".
"Well, even though the image of Shinji and I dating doesn't appeal to me" Aika responded, "I wouldn't mind the thought of it, after all he is way more packed than all of you, in more ways than one" Responded the girl as she adjusted her glasses with a shine on them, Shinji just squealed and covered his body with his arms, this is harassment dammit!
"Sit down everyone, class is about to start" Said the teacher that just opened the classroom door and walked to his desk to begin today's lecture, the black haired teenager just sighed and resumed his position while picking his text book.
After classes ended Shinji just took off to his part-time job, being the only one living in his house he had to pay all the bills, which meant to find a job that helped him, luckily for him there was a dojo close to the outskirts of the city that offered good pay just to clean the place up; when the raven hair kid found it, he went right away to ask for the job and, surprisingly enough, the man in charged gave it right away. He even raise his salary the next month! The kid couldn't be more grateful that he found this place.
"Okay, that would be enough for today, Shinji-kun" Said a man as he approached the kid that was cleaning a table, "Stop polishing that thing or it might blind someone" he joked as he offered the teenager a cup of water.
"Ah, thanks Hagiwara-san" Said Shinji as he gladly accepted the cup of water and started to drink. The guy in front of him was Hirotaku Hagiwara, he's a tall man with short hair and a small beard, he was wearing a black karate gi that contrasted his students white one, this man was the one that picked Shinji three years ago and offered him the job but, apart from that, started to teach him in the way of martial arts after he saw the kid one day trying to imitate his students from the room across the one he was using.
"I told you to drop the honorifics Shinji, we know each other for a while now" Said Hirotaku as he sit down next to the teenager that, after being told to stop, chose to sat on the floor outside and watch the sky. "Have you had any luck with your investigation lately?".
"Sadly, no" Said Shinji as he lowered the cup "I still don't know who or what it is that keeps paying my tutelage"
It's one of Shinji's curiosity and concern what is, in some ways, keeping him living the way he is now. One day he realized that before he got a job all the bills never got to his home and, by asking to the company, were daily payed, that including the schools he have been assisting. He asked Momo one day to see if he had any scholarship of some sort because of never receiving an invoice but after researching she had said that no, everything was paid in time and was delivered to the school bank account, not even the school chairman knew who the account holder was.
"I mean, it's not that i'm not grateful that someone keeps looking out for me, what I want to know is why he or she is doing it" Shinji said with curiosity on his voice, who would blame him? He found out that a stranger is keeping him living a comfortable life and, he suspected that even if he quitted his job, he would still be supported by him/she, but didn't want to push his luck.
"Well, if it was me I would like to stay in the shadows, because he might have his reasons for it. But I would also like to see the one Im taking care of is at least being responsible" Said Hirotaku as he stroked his chin while thinking, Shinji also thought about this in the past too that, as a repayment of some sorts, he would study like crazy to try and repay the favor they were doing to him, "But knowing you-" Hirotaku continued "-you do try your best,I would be proud myself because of that".
Shinji felt a smile draw on his face, even if Hirotaku was sometimes laidback, he respected the old man a lot, he basically taught him all he knew, he's like a father figure to him.
As they both continued to watch the sky in silence, Shinji watched the clock on the wall, eyes widening when he realized that it was getting really late. 'Dammit, not again!' he thought while pulling himself up, he liked to hang out with the old man, but the downside of this place was that it was located on the outskirts of the city.
"Leaving already?" Hirotaku asked as he saw the teenager hurrying up and picking his bag "You can stay to eat if you want, sleeping is another matter, I rather have a girl keeping me company in the night" he joked as Shinji started to put on his shoes.
"Ha, really funny, but thanks for the offer anyway " The raven hair kid started to go to the front door when Hagiwara called his name, "Oi, Shinji", when the teenager turned around he found his employer watching him while resting on a door, "Catch".
When Shirou reacted he soon grabbed what Hirotaku threw him, 'a pendant?' he thought when he saw a collar with an omamori as an ornament, "What's this for? Birthday present?" He joked as he saw the man sigh.
"Just a good luck charm I had lying around, thought you could put it to some use" Said Hagiwara as he saw the kid open the front door of the dojo "Take care Shinji, see you tomorrow " Shinji turned around and said his goodbye, he then proceeded to exit the place.
"Man, what a drag", said Shinji after watching the hour on his phone to see it was close to midnight, "I can't believe I lost the last train and had to end up walking, some lucky charm you turned out to be", he said as he watched the pendant hanging from his neck, he thought he might give it a try after Hirotaku took the job of giving it to him.
He was walking through the center of Kuoh, his neighborhood was past the buildings, there was movement on the streets just as people walking or cars passing by but it was close to nothing.
'I sure do love the night' thought Shinji as he gazed to his surroundings, the night sky decorated with the city lights gave the place a sense of living. Although the streets were empty he felt how the place was alive, how every colour the billboards emitted were dancing with the ones coming from the restaurants and bars next to them, "Nothing beats this scene, it's truly beautiful", he thought out loud.
Moving away from the center was the residential area, contrary to the corporation buildings and big hotels, this place was filled with houses and small markets and apartment complexes and, unlike the city being filled with lights, this place was just met with the typical light post.
'Man I'm starving', thought Shinji as he grabbed his belly and made a sound of pain 'Why didn't I took the offer Hagiwara-san gave me?'. In all honesty, he was too tired to cook something after all the time he wasted walking to his home, why the hell no one told him the trains had a closing time!? "Maybe some ramen from the market will do", the young boy said as he approached a small grocery store, he can buy something quick to cook and take a nap.
'Weird, something feels…..odd' said the young boy, he felt the air around him get heavy and colder, probably was a leak of the grocery of some sorts, but he started to grow weary. He entered the store, the air conditioner was on, 'Yeah, it was definitely a leak', he thought as he sighed and calmed himself. Did he ever felt like this, like being watched? It was and odd feeling but he was certain it was something like that.
He went to one of the shelves and grabbed what he came for, he just wanted to buy the instant ramen and go to his apartment, he felt really tired. After buying his food he just left the place.
He didn't even made half a block when he heard a loud crash coming from an alleyway close to him,'The hell?' he thought as he turned around to see what happened, the chilling sensation returned like an instinct, trying to tell him to go away, to leave that place.
"Ok, this is getting cliché now, what's going on?" He said out loud, to see if someone pops up and say 'Ha! Pranked' or something, but no, the air started to get colder around him.
He heard rustling sounds, there was someone or something close to him.
'And listen, what I said about the night time...I mean it, please promise me you'll be careful out there', Momo's words stucked him, was this the smartest thing to do? There is definitely something weird about this place and the alleway where the noises came from is not giving a happy aura.
"Sorry Momo, but I can't just walk away from something like this", Thought Shinji as he started to walk into the alleyway.
To say the place wasn't sketchy enough was a misunderstatement, torn walls, broken windows and graffitis decorated the place overall, 'Yep, pretty much feels like i'm on a bad spot right now' Shinji thought as he walked down the place, scared or not, his sensei taught him some good attacks to defend himself if he was received by a gang threatening him, but he can't throw a punch or just use the Good Ol' shoe against someone that had a gun, was a good plan, but no the smartest.
As he went into the alley he saw a figure stand out on the other side, no, it was more than that. On the opposite side laid someone face down, trails of cuts and stains surrounded the body, Shirou realized it was a girl from the length of the hair and the school uniform she was wearing, yet she wasn't even moving, her head was tilted to the other side and her hair covered her face. The teenager wasted no time, he throwed the ramen he was carrying and ran to her, the teenager turned her around to see if she was okay, eyes wide when he moved the bangs of the girl to the side.
Lifeless eyes, they stared into nothingness, her chest was completely torn apart, Shinji panicked and crawled back 'What the-!', he thought as he saw the body of the girl in front of him. "Wh-What the hell!?" He asked again, trying to stop the fear he was having now. He tried to run but couldn't, his legs were paralyzed, his eyes only focusing on the lifeless body, but then focused on the stains next to it. 'What's that?', He thought.
Stains continued to the other side of the alleway, whoever did this was there, and was probably armed. There was no time to think, it was either go or just turn away and call the police. Another crashing sound came from the other side "Shit, not accomplishing anything like this. Here goes everything", he said as he got up and walked with a fast pace, he couldn't let anyone else have the same fate of the girl before.
Just as he reached the end of the hallway there was a street, a person was standing in the middle of it, as if searching for something or someone. He couldn't make up anything of the other since it was dark because of the light pole being broken, then he saw something behind the person, something slowly crawling to his/her back.
"LOOK OUT!", Shinji shouted with all the strength he had as he ran to the stranger, he pushed the other to the side just as the object was ready to strike.
Just as soon as he pushed the stranger away, Shinji heard a crash behind him and felt a pain on his back, he was pinned to a wall, 'How I got this quick….!' he felt a stinging sensation on his chest. Eyes widened when a tail like object pierced his chest.
"Well well, looks like a hero appeared just now" A voice said in front of him, she was woman with slender figure, her black hair felt down to her waist and where her legs were supposed to be was a snake-like tail.
Shinji couldn't respond, he coughed blood as his vision started to fade, "Looks like this is as far as you go, hero. Don't worry, I won't lay anything of you go to wassste" The woman in front of him said, she smiled and showed fangs like teeth at the boy, when she opened her mouth and attempted to end the life of the teenager, an explosion came from behind her.
Shocked with pain, the snake-like woman let go of Shirou and turned around, the boy felt down, no longer being hold by the tail piercing him, he felt someone grab him as soon as he was close to the ground, he saw the monster escape.
"No, Akeno. Stand down, we won't gain anything from following her again" A voice said as he saw a woman figure trying to follow behind the monster. "How is he Kiba?", The same voice asked again, now getting closer to him.
"Not good, buchou-" The figure holding him said "-looks like she wounded him badly", he felt how the one carrying him put him down, his head looking to the sky.
Shinji felt his body getting weaker, he barely heard sounds again from time to time, mostly being footsteps, his vision getting blurry as he slowly got sleepy, 'Heh, looks like this is it, I can't even move. Sorry Momo, looks like I messed up again' he thought as he started to get colder, her friend will surely be mad at him when she finds out he died like an idiot trying to play the hero role. 'And sorry to you too, Hirotaku-san I won't be able to help you tomorrow' he joked as he felt heavy, his vision darkening as his eyes slowly closed.
'That's your limit? I was hoping more of you to be honest'.
His mind snapped, was really this his finale? No, there must be more. He can't die like this….he wont….he won't….! 'No…...I can't….give up….yet' Shirou thought as he tried to move, 'Not yet….I can't….die like this…!'.
"Your life won't go wasted" A female voice said as a palm caressed his cheek, she was the same one that spoke before "You saved my live, and in return I'll save yours", Shinji felt a sensation, something being taken out from him, something important.
He felt the world around him turn black, the light was fading from his view, yet, crimson light started to flow around him.
And so, the life of Shinji Kouki came to an end.
Authors Note
Everyone do this, so I thought of giving it a try.
Daaaamn it's hard to write every freakin' scene! I have to even describe a guy drinking water!
Anyway, I thought I might say this now, no. I'm not gonna name him Goku because someone already with that name exists in the DxD universe
*Insert Spiderman pointing to other Spiderman meme*
So yeah, it would feel like something of that sort.
And I also won't overpower him, i don't like reading a fanfic of an OP Goku or Naruto going, kicking Ophis and Great Red's ass and then take a nap. Not my style of protagonist, Shinji will have development before becoming strong.
Anyway guys, hope you liked and as always, read and review to your heart's content, I could use some critics for this wagon of colossal disaster.
Next! Chapter 1: A Devil!? The New Beginning Of Shinji Kouki!
