New Beginnings

On a hill over looking Kuoh Academy stand nine figures. Five seem to be male based on their stature and general build while four appear to be female. The four females and four of the males are standing separately from the last male of the group, almost like he is the leader of the group.

One of the seemingly male figures seems to tower over the others, standing just shy of seven feet tall. From his profile he is heavily muscled showing he is built for power rather than speed. Another one of the males stands around six foot four and is also fairly heavily muscled, though his build is just slightly more balanced than the mountain of a man standing only a few feet away. The final two males of the eight separate people are close to the same height both standing over five foot eleven but not breaching six foot. Both have roughly the same build, muscled but lithe. Their build shows that both are well suited for high speed maneuvering but also able to deliver devastating punishment to their foes.

Of the female figures one stands the tallest at an impressive height of five foot nine. Her body has fine contours with her well proportioned bust, waist, and hips. Two of the women are of equal height both standing close to five foot six. One of them has a more modest bust that matches up well with her lithe waist and tight athletic rear. The other has more womanly curves with a very impressive bust/waist/hip ratio. The shortest member of the group stands just over a height of five foot two and has a very athletic figure with only a very modest bust, finely toned waist and very tight glutes.

The final figure and possible leader of the group is standing in front of the others closest to the town. He stands at six foot one with a build similar to the two shortest men in the group. The slight difference is that the leaders build is perfectly balanced between speed and power while the build of the two shorter men leans more to speed.

"Is this where we'll make our debut Master," the shortest member says, confirming by sound that she is indeed a she, to the figure standing alone.

"Yes, my inquisitive little pawn, here is where our existence will be revealed, but not for a couple more months," the single man replies in a smooth but commanding masculine voice.

"When will we spring our little surprise," asks the second tallest man.

"From the whisperings that have reached my ears, there is a marriage arrangement between the houses of Phenex and Gremory involving the third son of Phenex and the Gremory heiress. From these same whisperings I have deduced that the Gremory heiress is not pleased with her families meddling and her betrothed. I plan to reveal yours and my existence when the Phenex comes to claim the Gremory heiress and from what I hear of his personality this will occur in roughly two months," the leader replies. "The outcome should be to our benefit depending on how we reveal ourselves."

"What are your plans for the heiress at this moment," asks the tallest woman in a melodious voice.

"Currently I have no plans for the heiress of the Gremory. I will have to see what happens in the coming months before I make any plans," the leader answers. "Though a little birdie mentioned that the Gremory heiress is quite the exquisite beauty."

"Hmm, you seem to hear many whispers on the wind my king," the mountain of a man says in a very deep voice. "You also seem reluctant to commit to a plan that involves the heiress."

"Yes well it is best to keep your ears to the wind in case some life changing information is upon it. As for not committing to any other plans right now I must keep my options open in case of unforeseen developments such as the fallen angels that I'm sensing entering the city at this moment," replies the 'king'.

"Fallen angels I thought this territory belonged to the Gremory clan," says the tallest woman again.

"Oh it does, and that is exactly what I am saying," the 'king' says, "such developments tend to throw wrenches in plans. Say that I decided to leave the Gremory heiress to her fate and then developed feelings for her. Such a development would upset that plan and the plan would need to be reworked. So I am going to see where I stand with the heiress when the Phenex comes for her and decide then."

"You are still as shrewd as ever, just like your father, my young lord," the shortest of the men says.

"So how will we avoid revealing ourselves until the third son comes," asks the second tallest man. "And have the fallen congregated so we can keep an eye on them."

"Well for avoiding being sensed by any devils or fallen I made an item that will cloak our presence," the shortest man says and holds out eight pendants for the others to take, which they do. " As for if we have to fight then we will have to ensure that there are none of the devils present, because I really don't recommend killing our own kind, and we'll just kill the fallen and leave no trace. As for where the fallen are they seem to be congregating in the north east edge of the city."

"I will leave the surveillance of the fallen up to you two, my loyal rooks," the leader says while gesturing to the two tallest people slightly. "As for you two I expect for only the best performance in your task." He gestures to the shortest man and the middle height woman with the buxom figure. "The rest of you will be joining me at this academy. We will meet up in a months time," the leader announces, "Until then." As he finishes speaking the four individuals he gestured to melt into the shadows. "Now for the rest of you get some sleep, we have school tomorrow."

Next day, Kuoh Academy, Class 3-A

Rias Gremory sits at her desk waiting for the start of her final year of high school. Rias is a beautiful young woman that has bright blue-green eyes, a fair skin complexion and a buxom figure. She wears the Kuoh female uniform consisting of a white button down shirt, black shoulder cape, black button up corset and magenta skirt with a pair of matching shoes. But her most striking feature is her long crimson hair that cascades down her back to just above her knees when she is standing with a single bang sticking up before falling forward to hang in front of her face.

The class sensei walks in and Rias turns her attention from the window she is looking out of to her sensei, believing that class is about to start. "Good morning class," the sensei says and the class as a whole responds likewise to her. "We have exciting news today class." Rias quirks a delicate crimson eyebrow at the announcement, wondering what could be so exciting for their sensei. "We have two new transfer students from Europe joining us today," the sensei says boisterously, "you can come in now."

Rias watches as first a female followed by a male enter the class. The woman has wavy sky blue hair that hangs loosely down her back stopping at the small of her back, eyes that are a shade darker than her hair, fair skin, an athletic build with a generous bust and a waist and hips that are well proportioned to her bust and stands at five foot nine even. She is dressed in the standard Kuoh uniform with a cute pair of navy blue flats. Rais notes that she is quite beautiful by any standards.

The mans face is hidden by his straight, shoulder length, pitch black hair as leans down to whisper to the shorter class sensei. What can be seen is his finely tanned skin on his hands and the balanced build of his six foot one frame. He wears the male version of the Kuoh Academy uniform. This consists of a pair of black slacks, a white undershirt, a white dress shirt, a black bow tie and a black blazer. With his uniform he wears a black pair of comfortable casual dress shoes.

"Why don't you two introduce yourselves," the sensei says after she finishes talking to the new male student. She hands him a stick of chalk and says, "Write your names out on the black board before you introduce yourselves."

The man turns to his right, away from the rest of the class, and writes both his name and the woman's name out. "I am Eirika Reiher it is nice to meet you," the now named Eirika says in a melodious voice as she bows slightly.

Then the male of the pair turns to the class revealing his face. He is extremely handsome in a rouge prince sort of way. He has a well defined jaw line that leads into a well shaped chin and almost regal cheek bones. But what Rias finds to be his most endearing feature is his deep crimson eyes which are slightly darker than her own hair.

"Hello," he says, his voice as smooth as silk but still holding all the crisp authority of royalty, "I am Artorius Lucian." He gives a deep bow with his right arm sweeping out in a grand gesture and his left arm behind his back. When he stands back up he continues, his eyes locking with Rias's. "But you can call me Arthur."

Update: So in my last chapter of RWW I said that I a couple ideas clogging my mind and this is one of them. Fortunately, or unfortunately, depends on point of view I have got back into my Naruto groove. Because of that I actually almost didn't finish this chapter. But I knuckled down and got it done and out. Until next time.
