Welcome to Shadows Of A Devil! Thanks for coming to check out my second (official) Highschool DXD fanfiction! I say official dxd because my first one has deleted over a year and a half ago. Anyway!
Before I start, I would like to say this story is not a crossover and the name Tatsumi Amano is merely the name I chose. If you like this or have any comments that could help polish this story up a bit then let me know. Without much else to say, start!
Chapter 1: Act Of The Fallen
"Mr. Amano!" The teacher yells irritably at his sleepy student. The boy blinks a couple times rubbing his eyes as whispering went about the classroom. "I know it's still morning, but just because you are tired doesn't mean you can sleep. We all want to sleep, but we all have to stay awake."
The Amano teen runs his fingers through his natural green hair. "Sorry about that." He says letting out a yawn. "I just had to stay up last night so that I could finish some homework I forgot about."
The teacher sighs rubbing his nose to ease his oncoming headache. "It's way too early for this Mr. Amano. Just don't let it happen again."
"I'll try." He replies focusing his blue eyes on the lecture.
"Why does he always slack off in class?" One of his classmates asks his friend quietly.
"Probably just lazy. It's a miracle that he is getting passing grades." The friend says.
'I wish I was as lazy as they say.' Amano thinks in his head. 'But considering my parents had me exercising on a regular basis, I now do it when I'm bored sometimes.' He continues thinks how well built he is even though he is pretty lean.
His name his Tatsumi Amano. He is an average second year boy other than the fact he is named Kuoh Academy's 'Cute Loner'. He, unfortunately, earned this name when he first showed up at Kuoh Academy a year ago. He isn't a huge loner since he will talk to one or two people outside of school once in a while, not anyone from the school though. He earned it when he didn't pay any attention to the girls that followed him around for longer than a month.
While he does talk to his teacher when they talk to him, he doesn't go out of his way to talk to them. That just isn't his thing. All the guys hated him immensely when he got there a year prior, but since he doesn't really talk to them they hate him a little less. The reason being the girls admire him from afar now. They don't actively crowd around him anymore.
That doesn't mean he took any crap from the boys that once tried to bully him though. A few boys tried to threaten him and he end up fracturing a few bones and bruised their bodies. Afterwards, those same boys attempted it again a few months later with the same results. So he can easily hold his own in a fight.
Tatsumi sighs looking at the time. It is almost time for lunch. He doesn't particularly care for, but it gets him out of class for a while. The bell finally rings allowing him to grab his lunch from his bag. He proceeds to get up and leave the class to eat outside. It just feels better to eat outside in his opinion.
He looks towards the forest to find his favorite area under the trees he grown fond of. Of course it is close to where the Occult Research Club is, but he doesn't go too close to get their attention. Once under the shade of the trees he opens up his lunch getting ready to eat his lunch.
Tatsumi looks around finding nothing interesting. He does see the Prince Of Kuoh Academy walking while surrounded by fan girls, but that doesn't really interest him. However, something pokes his shoulder catching his attention. Tatsumi looks around to come eye to…breast with some girl with crimson red hair.
From Tatsumi's point of view he can barely see her eyes. He doesn't stare at her breasts though. As much as he appreciates a girl as well endowed as this, he doesn't try to be a pervert about it like the Perverted Duo. A couple of notorious perverts that peep on girls dressing relentlessly. No matter how badly they are hurt. Pretty disappointing.
Not wanting her to think he is a pervert, he stands up finishing off the food of his. He turns to look her in the eyes lazily. Even though he is a loner, he is laid-back person. He has heard about this girl now that he can see her properly. Rias Gremory. One of the two Great Ladies that everybody talks about. The most popular girl at this academy.
She gives him a warm smile. "You must be Tatsumi Amano, am I right?" She asks getting one nod from him. "I have a question if you don't mind."
Tatsumi raises an eyebrow curious about why a girl like herself that is a year above him would have any questions for him. "Go ahead." He says allowing her to ask the question.
"Has any strange people come in contact with you as of recently?" She asks. Tatsumi shakes his head meaning no. "I see. Thank you for your time." She then proceeds to leave.
The day passes by quickly from there ending up with him on a bridge he visits on a regular basis during his runs and walks to school. He leans on the railing looking at the setting sun content with himself. The perfect end to a boring day he would normally think. It still is in this case.
"Um…are you Tatsumi Amano?" A shy sounding girl asks from behind the serene Tatsumi.
Tatsumi turns to her without a frown, but without a smile too. "Yeah, why?" She looks down sheepishly. 'is it alright if I call her another fan girl?' He wonders until he notices her strange school uniform. 'Who could she be then?'
"M-my name is Yuuma Amano." She introduces.
'Oh cool, same last names.' He thinks still keeping a serene look.
"I was kinda wondering if you are seeing anyone." She admits.
"No, I think it is just to much trouble to be honest with you." Tatsumi replies honestly. That comment catches Yuuma off guard. "I like to keep to myself and if I have a girlfriend that would kinda impede on that." He explains. "Don't get me wrong, I like girls, but I just don't think I could make them as happy as they could if I am just keeping to myself the whole time."
Yuuma fidgets a little bit in her spot looking very nervous. "W-well could you please give me a chance and be my boyfriend?" She asks bowing to him.
Tatsumi sighs going from a serene look to laid-back one. "Like I just said, I think it would be too much trouble."
"Could we at least have one date to see how it works?" She begs.
Tatsumi lets out a sigh. "I don't know what you see in me, but sure. We can give it a shot. Don't blame me if it ends up a disaster though."
She smiles happily. "Thank you! So can the date be this Sunday at four?"
"Sure." He replies. "Just don't be late is all I ask."
She nods excitedly. She runs off, but turns around before being too far. "I'm really glad you're my boyfriend!" She then runs off.
Tatsumi turns back to the sunset acting as if nothing has just happened. "I probably should have asked her how she knew me…oh well. This relationship will likely end Sunday." He says to himself out loud.
In a allyway not too far away, a certain white haired girl stares intently at him. "I better tell Buchou." She mutters watching as her target starts to leave.
The next few days consisted of Tatsumi walking to school with Yuuma without holding hands. Yuuma tried to hold his hand, but Tatsumi said he was not willing to do that yet. She had protested though. And then Sunday finally arrives.
Tatsumi is currently wearing a black T-shirt with an unzipped dark green thin jacket. His pants are just a pair of jeans he found. His shoes are just black too. Tatsumi looks at a clock on the street waiting for Yuuma.
'She has three minutes.' He thinks.
"Excuse me, sir." A cute looking girl says getting his attention. "Here you go!" She hands him a paper with the words "You Wish Is Granted" on it under a strange symbol.
"Thank you." He thanks putting it in his pocket while she walks away. Two more minutes pass. "Where is she?"
"Hey Tatsumi!" The voice of the very girl calls out. He looks to find her in some fairly nice looking clothes. "Were you waiting long?"
Tatsumi looks her in the eye then looks cat the clock. "I was here for a good half hour, so I guess I was." He states bluntly making her flinch. "But you weren't late either. That being the case, let's start our day of fun." He says giving the surprised a small smile.
They end up walking around town going through many stores and a restaurant throughout their time. She actually got a couple laughs out of Tatsumi. Tatsumi is now smiling along with Yuuma as they pass by an ally. Tatsumi feels a chill shoot through him causing him to stop dropping his smile into a suspicious look.
He looks into the ally confusing Yuuma. He suddenly sees some of the shadows moving like water with a pair of grey eyes. Ones filled with despair. The thing points at Yuuma then grows giant wings. Tatsumi quickly turns back around and continues to walk away.
'What was that?' He thinks in his mind. "Whatever it is I sure don't like it.'
Yuuma grabs his arm putting it between her breasts making him blush a bit. Even the loner seems to be a blushing boy once having his arm between her breasts. "Why did you stop Tatsumi?" She asks concerned for him.
"No reason. Let's just finish our date at the park." He says.
"It must have been something since you not smiling anymore." She presses on.
"Let's just drop it Yuuma." She nods solemnly. The finally make it to the park with the water fountain. 'Looks like we are the only ones here.'
Yuuma runs in front of him holding a giant smile. "I really enjoyed our date today!"
"I gotta admit that it was better than how I thought it was going to go." He admits not bothering to smile. He hasn't even cracked a smile since that ally. He has just stayed suspicious the whole time.
"Other than this," She points at a beautiful necklace (imagine your own version of beautiful since I am sure everybody has different opinions) around her neck. "I would like something to commemorate this night."
He raises an eyebrow. 'Is she trying to get a kiss?'
"Would you do anything for me?" She asks.
Tatsumi sighs. "No I wouldn't do most things for you." He says shocking the girl. "As much fun as we had tonight, I felt I was hanging out with a friend rather than a girlfriend. But I am willing to listen to your request." He explains bluntly.
She drops her smile. "Would you die for me?"
Tatsumi narrows his eyes at the girl. "Hell no." He states adding a tiny growl in his voice.
"Too bad Tatsumi Amano!" She exclaims growing an insane smirk transforming.
Tatsumi quickly makes a run for it in the middle of her transforming. He is not stupid in the least. He runs into the tree line hoping that he could outrun the girl. He stops behind a tree breathing only when needed listening to area around him.
'What the hell is going on?' He wonders.
"Did you think you could run away?" A more mature version of Yuuma's voice questions suddenly appearing in front of him.
He immediately moves back towards the fountain. A sharp pain like a sword penetrating through him throwing him through the air. He lands on his stomach sending a sharp pain throughout his whole body. He rolls over finally seeing her new form. She is literally dressed in strings that barely cover her nipples and looking much more evil. The worst part are the wings that was the exact same as that shadow's from earlier.
"Finally!" She screams into the sky. "I can't believe I had to deal with your lonely ass for so long!" She exclaims. "I mean seriously, you really were unlikeable."
Tatsumi coughs up a bit of blood. "Screw off." He growls losing his cool in his final moments. "I hope whoever…kills you gives you everything you deserve."
She sneers at the teen boy with green hair. "I ki-"
"Shut up!" He shouts interrupting her while struggling to get up. He coughs up more blood as the hole inside him helps bleed more. A grey look surrounds his pupil slowly covering his whole eyes in a grey color.
"Oh what is this? Is the puny human upset?" She taunts.
"BURN!" He roars summoning an unnatural grey colored fire from under her. Her eyes widen as she dodges the grey inferno.
"That's impossible! There is no such thing as a grey fire! What is this?!" She yells. She summons a spear of light and throws it at him impaling him through the heart. He finally loses the grey color in his eyes as he finally starts to die. However, a shadow with grey eyes appears above the body frightening Yuuma.
Yuuma jets away into the sky getting away from the thing. The shadow disappears as Tatsumi coughs more blood up. 'So I die like this? Looks like my parents aren't going to see their son ever again.' He thinks. 'I wonder if that Rias Gremory lady knew something about this last week? Her crimson red hair is…nothing like my blood?!' His eyes widen looking at his red blood the turns grey as it hits the air. 'Why must I die when I find out my blood is grey?!'
A red circle of arrays shine next to him as he starts to lose conscience. She smiles at the dying boy. "Your not going to die just yet, Tatsumi Amano." She states picking through her pocket as he finally dies.
End
And this is this! How did you like the start of my new idea for DXD? Is it good enough to continue or meh?
Before you rage about the personality of the quiet Tatsumi let me say that he will slowly change into a more open person later on. Not easily though.
Now if you have any questions then let me know. Thanks for reading and have a great day/night/morning!
