Hi everyone! This is a rewrite of my original story which is a High school DXD and Marvel crossover. It's a single paring of my OC and Akeno so no harems. If you were looking for harem action then this isn't the story but if you are interested in reading stay and give it a try. Hope you all enjoy. If so then please like and review.
Chapter 1 the stranger
"Kuoh town…Kuoh? How did I get in Japan!?"
The man stared at the sign as rain fell upon him.
This didn't make any sense, how did he get here?
He was in his home and then a bright flash blinded him now here he was on the far side of the world, in the rain, sopping wet…
Oh how his friends would find this amusing and it would be too, if he knew how to get back home and tell them which at the moment could not and for what reasons he did not know.
He sighed and entered Kuoh town in search of shelter from the rain-
BOOM!
Correction, thunder storm!
The man quickened his pace as another flash of lighting zipped across the sky and the roar thunder followed after it!
"I really need to find shelter ASAP!"
Within the town was a shrine and in that shrine was the priestess who occupied it, lying in bed listening to the rain.
She was a teenager attending Kuoh Academy, which happened to be the only school in Kuoh. She and a fellow student were known as the Two Great Ladies of Kuoh Academy.
That title was earned due to her smarts and beauty, the latter of those being very noticeable.
Her hair was long, black and straight which reached to her legs with two strands sticking out from the top and sloping backwards, which was always tied into a ponytail by an orange ribbon, and eyes the color of violet. Her facial features weren't the only thing that made her beautiful; normally Japanese women had small proportions but this woman…she had the body of a super model! Incredible curves in all the right places with breasts so big they looked like they could burst out of her top any second! This led some to speculate she may be half Japanese, which explained her voluptuous figure
She was Akeno Himejima, vice-president of the Occult Research Club.
And also a Devil.
It was true, the supernatural world did exist. Angels, Fallen Angels, Devils, Youkai, and all those told about in stories and legends were real.
Akeno wasn't the only Devil within the school however, the president of the ORC, Rias Gremory, who happened to be the other Great lady of the school and Akeno's friend, was also was a Devil. As a matter of fact, everyone within the ORC were Devils and Rias was there master.
The Devils of the ORC were those who wished to live like normal humans, or at least try to. Stray Devils and Fallen Angels were some of the issue they couldn't ignore.
Two weeks ago Rias and her servants hadn't faced either of those however, they instead they fought Riser Phenex, the pureblood Devil who was to marry Rias to unite their clans. It would have happened too, had it not been for the new kid of the group, Issei Hyoudou, crashing the wedding and defeating Riser.
The brunette was brave to save Rias himself but unfortunately he was possibly the biggest pervert to ever exist and it was his dream to have a harem of his own.
The Devil licked her lips at the "punishments" she could endues onto the boy if she was part of his harem.
Her musing was stopped by a loud bang causing her to sit up from bed and listen, ears pricked for anything suspicious. It was probably just the thunder…
The bang came again and hearing it more clearly, Akeno realized someone was at her door! Who could be out this late, especially during a thunderstorm!?
Quickly throwing on a bathrobe to be decent, she fetched a candle, and ran for the door just as a third bang came.
"I'm coming!" She answered. Reaching the door she threw it open and felt surprise fill her, for standing at her porch was a teenager the same age and height soaking wet. He wore a red shirt and blue jeans. His feet had no shoes so they were probably pruned and cold.
"Hello I-." She heard him speak in English with a hint of Italian to it. The face he made was one of realization that he wasn't in America. Before he could reply she spoke to him in a fluent American accent. It was lucky for her that Devil's knew every language of the world. His long wavy black hair was wet with water dripping of it and his eyes were dark blue eyes
"Hello, what can I do for you and why are you out in this storm?" She asked concerned.
The strangers face morphed into one of surprise She spoke fluent English! Perhaps she was Japanese American. "I hope I am not intruding on you but I seek shelter from the storm. I've asked others but none have let me enter. I only wish a place to stay till the storm passes."
The fire on the candle flickered showing a narrow jaw, dark blue eyes, and long wavy black hair reaching to his shoulders. "Of course please come in. You must be exhausted from traveling." She said with a smile stepping aside to let him in. "Would you like some tea to warm you up?" She added while shutting the door.
"Yes please, thank you very much." The stranger said rubbing his shoulders to warm himself up. "My names Gerard Price by the way." The human added with a bow.
"Akeno Himejima." Akeno answered returning the bow. She led Gerard to the table at the center of the room and lit a few lanterns to give some light before departing into the kitchen to prepare some hot tea and grab a blanket.
She returned to the human with the tea as well as a blanket to wrap himself in. Her curiosity of why he was here barefoot prompted her ask, "Care to explain why you were out in the rain?"
"I don't know?" Gerard answered after a drink of his own tea. "I was in my apartment in New York City when a bright flash erupted and I found myself standing at the edge of this town."
"Did anyone break into your house?" Akeno asked staring at him with inquisitive eyes, hoping to get more answers to his story.
"No, I would have heard if someone tried to. It was just a sudden flash of light. Like I said I was in my apartment relaxing and next thing I know I'm out in the rain shoeless and coatless hoping to find shelter and not get struck by lightning."
Akeno hummed in thought. Gerard's story didn't make sense, he said he was blinded by a white light and pops up in Japan. Perhaps someone managed to sneak into the apartment undetected and blind the human with a bright light. That someone must have also been a wielder of magic, which explains why Gerard found himself on the other side of the world. That seem to be the only logical explanation for this mystery. But that didn't explain who sent him here and why, what purpose would they gain in it?
She'd have to tell Rias about this.
"Maybe your just imagining things. Your talking as if something magical happened to you and we all know that magic doesn't exist." She lied.
"Hmmm." Gerard stared at the girl in suspicion. "Well, I'm sure we can talk more about it tomorrow. For now we should sleep. I appreciate your hospitality, Akeno, goodnight." With that the human laid upon the floor, wrapping himself in the blanket and closing his eyes.
The room was plunged back into darkness with the dousing of the lanterns. Akeno took one last look at the sleeping human. He was quite the looker and seemed normal, no magical presence was sensed with him and nothing seemed off. Nevertheless, she had to tell Rias about this bizarre event that occurred for the human.
Rias Gremory, heir to the House of Gremory paced her room deep in thought. She had enjoy a wonderful dream about cuddling with her adorable Pawn in the nude when she was rudely interrupted by a call from her Queen. Her annoyance dissolved at once with the news brought before her.
"You said he was teleported here by a flash of light?"
"That's what he said Rias," Akeno answered. "I'm just as confused as you are about this whole ordeal. It doesn't make sense. I don't think this is a coincident that he suddenly showed up."
Rias tapped her chin in thought thinking about what her Queen informed her of. She was freed of her engagement and now this stranger, Gerard Price, suddenly appears. Could someone be planning to use him for something, if so then who and why?
These questions needed to be answered.
The red haired devil stopped her pacing and spoke to her friend. "Akeno, I want you to keep an eye on him. Whatever you do, don't lose sight of him. I'll make sure he's enrolled into Kuoh so we can keep a closer eye on him. Human he maybe, his story sounds pretty suspicious."
"Smart thinking as always Rias." This was no teasing in Akeno's voice this time. "I'm make sure I do so. I'll see you later."
Even though the call ended Rias continued to tap her chin. This human, Gerard Price, sounded like an interesting fellow, he may be a valuable ally. She opened her palm and summoned her familiar, a smile forming on her lips, "I have a job for you."
Meanwhile at the shrine, Akeno changed into a causal red blouse and blue jeans for today's attire. She entered the living room to check on her gust but what surprised to find him standing at the door. "Gerard, what are you doing?"
"Going into town." Gerard answered, "I must be on my way and I've intruded on your privacy long enough.
"I'll come with you. The least I can do is help guide you around Kuoh."
The human stared at the priestess. She knew her way around the town and he couldn't just brush off her aid after she let him stay at her home during the storm.
Smiling Gerard spoke. "Alright, but where am I gonna get shoes?" he wiggled his toes to show he was still barefoot.
"Those, along with some new clothes, can be bought while in town. Now, let's get going." She declared marching out the door, her ponytail swaying.
While she showed a cheerful smile, her mind was remembering the orders her master gave her. She was not to let Gerard out of her site and she would complete the order.
The black haired duo traveled all around town from north, east, south, and west. The first building they visited clothe stores where Gerard was able to get some shoes for his feet along with new clothing to wear. A blue t-shirt, with black jeans. After which Akeno showed him the rest of the town, pointing out tattoo parlors, barber shops, food joints, cinemas bars, and clubs. "That's Yoko's burger joint." She pointed to a building with a plastic hamburger building on the side. "And that's-"
Her sentence was cut off by a loud growl. Turning to the source of the noise she found it was Gerard's stomach.
The fact they had skipped breakfast this morning finally dawned on her which meant the poor human was probably starving for food, but the face he was making was too cute. He looked as if he had done something embarrassing in front of his friends.
"Ara ara someone's hungry." She teased, showing a smile. "Follow me."
Gerard could try back tracking the way they walked but one wrong turn and he'd be lost, he knew a little Japanese but wasn't fluent enough to travel around the country without help. So he had no choice but to follow the priestess.
She led him to a burger joint near the academy where they say and ate a taste meal.
"So, Akeno, what can you tell me about yourself?" The human asked, deciding to strike up a conversation.
"Well, I am the vice-president of the Occult Research club."
Gerard rose a brow at that. "Occult club? Aren't those banded for their wacky ideas, and didn't you just tell me last night that magic doesn't exist?"
"Yes, but we don't perform witchcraft, sorcery, or create voodoo dolls to torture others. All we do is search for anything that is supernatural."
"Hmm." Gerard hummed and took a drink before continuing the conversation. "So if you're its vice-president, who's the president?"
"That would be me." A new voice said.
Both looked to see a woman stroll over wearing blue pants and a stripped tank top that did little to hide her buxom figure. It wasn't her figure that caught Gerard's eyes however, but her red hair. It was like a crimson curtain draped over a stage. She must have gone through a lot trouble to get all that hair dyed. Gerard immediately rose to his feet and stuck a hand out for her to shake. "Your Akeno friend? Pleased to meet you, I'm Gerard Price."
"Rias Gremory, it's a pleasure to meet you as well, Price-san."
Her last name immediately caught his attention. If he was correct, the name Gremory was supposed to be a strong duke of hell that governs twenty-six legions of demons in demonology.
First a girl with violet eyes, now another with red hair and a last name from demonology. Who were these woman!?
He released her hand, mirroring her smile. "Just call me Gerard, I'm first name basis guy. You are European by the sound of your name are you not?"
Rias nodded, taking a sea beside her friend. It wasn't a coincidence she was here, her familiar had been following the two for hours and once learning where they were eating at, she chose to introduce herself. "So Gerard, I heard from Akeno a strange story about how you suddenly appeared in Japan out of nowhere last night."
Gerard glanced at the black haired beauty with. "You told her what happened?"
Akeno giggled. "Who wouldn't tell a story like that to their best friend? A stranger suddenly appearing at your house during a storm sounds like the intro to a story."
"I guess? But what happened was a bizarre occurs that shouldn't be possible."
"This world is full of strange things, Gerard, perhaps what you experienced was a supernatural occurrence. Anyway, I must be off. Theirs stuff I must take care of. It was a pleasure meeting you, Gerard. Oh by the way, you're being enrolled into Kuoh Academy so-"
"Woah hold on a sec!" Gerard exclaimed jumping to his feet in surprise at the information. "Why are doing that!? I'm attending a school in America, I can't just move all the way over to Japan!"
"I understand your surprised but do not worry, my father can have you transferred."
"I don't need to transfer plus you don't even know what school I go to, and what about my family?"
"Don't worry, you'll love it here in Japan. As for your family, my father can talk them into letting you transfer. Now I must be off, I look forward to seeing you again, Gerard."
"Wait!" Gerard yelled, but the red head was already out the door. He ran a hand along his face sighing in annoyance. "I suppose there's no point in talking her out of this?" He asked Akeno who tried not to laugh at his expression.
"Sorry, Gerard, but Rias tends to get what she wants."
"Hn."
"Like Rias said, don't worry so much about it. You'll come to like Kuoh. Come on theirs still so much more to show you." Akeno smiled, leading the way out the burger joint. "Oh I know a fun park we can go to and-hey!" She was rudely cut off when he started walking off toward a store, his eyes wide in surprise. She shook her head at where he was going.
Comics, she should have known. At last she found something this boy liked.
Quickly catching up to him, she looked into the store through the glass window. "Why didn't you tell me you like these? I could get you one if you want."
But the human was silent, still staring into the store. His eyes were darting all about until they landed on one comic. He raised a trembling finger at it. On the cover was a man decked out in a red and blue costume with a spider symbol on his chest striking an action pose and firing webs from his fingers.
"I can translate it for you," Akeno smiled. "It says."
"The Spectacular Spider Man…" Gerard cut her off again but the way he said it surprised her. It sounded as if he knew this "Spider Man" but he was just a comic book character, wasn't he?
"Gerard, are you ok?" She asked in concern. The way he was acting didn't feel right, it was worrying her.
The human blinked, shaking himself out of his stupor. "It's nothing." He reassured her with a smile. "So what's this park you wanted to show me?"
The light of the setting sun blanketed the sky in orange, its beauty was watched by Gerard and Akeno as they that traveled through a park.
The hours they spent together were some neither would forget.
But even with the fun they spent together, Gerard's thoughts kept going back to that comic of Spider Man.
Since when did Spider man have a comic series? Something was wrong, very wrong but he couldn't let him distract him, especially with where he was at. Although a ray of light still lingered behind after the sun fully sank beyond the horizon, no lamppost where on the path he and Akeno walked making this an ideal spot for criminals to jump people at night. He had to keep Akeno safe if danger occurred.
His hope's to not run into trouble were dashed by the sound of someone approaching.
Gerard suppressed an irritated sigh, if it was a rapist out to steal Akeno he wouldn't let him near her at all.
"I've finally found you, Akeno."
Surprised filled Gerard when he mentioned Akeno forcing him to turn to the speaker and see a man approach them. His age seemed to be around early to mid-thirties and he had the look of a business man by the fabricated grey suit he was wearing, but red eyes and silver hair, which was short and combed, wasn't normal for humans to have.
Grey and white hair from stress and old age but silver? He heard stories of people in Japan dying their hair different colors and that was proving by Rias' red and now this strangers silver.
"I've been wondering when you've show up." The red eyed man said, eyes flickering to Gerard. "And you're not alone I see. You've taken another human into your possession eh Akeno?"
"Do you know each other?" Gerard asked.
"This has nothing to do with you, human. Move along and I'll forget I saw you with this Devil."
"Devil?" Gerard looked at Akeno who glared angrily at the stranger. This prompted him to laugh, "That's pretty fun but she's no Devil she's-" His words were silenced when wings appeared behind the strangers back. Gerard stared at them with in shock, rubbing his eyes to check if he was seeing things.
"Bull shit." He said staring at the four black wings. Wings just don't popped out of someone suddenly and they looked real.
"Oh?" Bemusement came over the man's face, he was trying to disbelieve he was something else. "Well how about this?" Flapping his wings he rose into the air above the two and appearing in his open hand was a long red spear. "I can give you a choice, human; leave now and you can live an ordinary life, or die."
"Woah hold on!" But before he could protest anymore a bolt, no a stream, of lightning shoot at the stranger who dodged with ease. Turning to where it originated from he felt his jaw slack a little. Akeno's hand was outstretched with electricity dancing around her fingers.
"Gerard, I'm sorry." The high schooler said before a bright light engulfed her and when it faded she was dressed in a priestess outfit. A white haori with red accents, red hakama, and a pair of sandals. Her eyes that once heled joy were now filled with malice and murder. And that sent a chill down the human's spine, he made a mental note not to piss her off.
He watched her fire another bolt of lightning at the stranger but instead missed from him dodging again and instead obliterating a tree. She continued to shoot lightning trying to hit him but was speed was too great. He kept dodging attack after attack.
"I'm gonna make sure your punishment is sever!" He heard Akeno yelled and ready her next attack but it never happened, instead of shooting lightning she threw her hands out casting a barrier between herself and the barrage of red spears that the man, or whatever he was, rained down upon her! He was no push over that Gerard could tell by the skill he was preforming in the fight.
"Gerard run!" She ordered, just as the barrier shattered knocking her to the floor.
He stared at the downed girl. She wanted him to run, to leave her to die or be captured by this wacko.
Why should he run!? She gave him shelter and showed him around town. The stranger called her a Devil but she didn't look like one and even if she was a Devil, she hadn't show any hostility toward him, but kindness instead. And just now she revealed she was shooting lightning from her hands.
"Well," he thought noticing the stranger throw a spear at Akeno, "Might as well show I'm just as strange as they are."
Bending his knees he rushed toward Akeno, placing himself between her and the spear.
"What are you doing!? This was no place for a human!" Akeno yelled in surprise and horror.
Ignoring her cry, Gerard raised his hands forming the "I love you" sign with them and summoning forth his powers! "I summon the Seven Rings of Raggadorr! Come to my aid!" As soon as his chant ended seven blue energy rings surround him and once the spear made contact it simply bounced off and hit a tree!
The surprise on the strangers face was a satisfying sight to see.
"Omnipotent Oshtur empower my magic! Lend me your strength to defeat this foe who stands before me!" Opening his hands wide two blue magic circles appeared within his palms and unleashed energy blasts at the Fallen Angel. The attack hit the stranger square in the chest, singeing his shirt and sending him smashing through a couple trees before crashing against the trunk of one. "Be gone Fallen Angel! I will spare your life but if you return you try and harm Akeno or I then you shall meet a painful end!" He flared his power to make his point clear.
The Fallen Angel shook his head glaring at the human with great hatred. He did not except this to happen! He thought capturing Akeno would be a walk in the park, but then this surprise happened. The odds were stacked against him; he was wounded, outnumber, and if Rias Gremory arrived…
"Very well." He said at last with a frown, dusting off his ruined suite and adjusting his broken glasses. "What is your name, boy?"
"Gerard Price."
"And I'm Hextin, a Fallen Angel. This won't be the last time we meet, Gerard, mark my words." And in a flutter of feathers he vanished into the night.
Surprise filled Akeno, her mouth open in awe at the reveal that Gerard wasn't as normal as he said he was. She was highly skilled in magic but never before had she seen nor heard of a seven ring barrier spell and who was this Oshtur he mentioned?
Questions needed answering for herself and Gerard.
Gerard brushed a few strands of hair away from his face, his eyes staring into hers. He hoped the supernatural world wouldn't be connecting to this town, he was proven wrong tonight. Turning to the black haired Devil he examined her over to see if she was hurt, which thankfully she wasn't. Seeing she was fine he next checked that they were the only two within the area. He did not wish for any unwanted people listening on them.
"First off," He said rubbing his neck, "I should apologize for keeping this hidden form you. I thought-"
"You were a normal human." Akeno finished, her surprise fading slowly. "Gerard, just who are you really?"
Gerard was silent for a long while. There was no reason to hide who he was, she was a Devil, Hextin a Fallen Angel, and both were the first to witness his power. Putting on a polite smile he reintroduce himself to the priestess.
"I'm name is Gerard Price, and I'm a sorcerer."
