Chapter 1: New Beginnings.

(a few months before the start of Canon Timeline, Kyoto)

FWOOSH! Bat like wings flapped in the cool night air as a young girl gently landed on a quiet sidewalk in a in city garden. Locks of crimson red hair fell down, past the girls shoulders, her entire back, and almost to her knees. She opened her large blue eyes and stretched out her back, bringing emphasis to her exceptionally large chest. "MMMMMM…" She moaned as she stretched.

She began to walk down the long garden road, brushing her hand against the flowers as she passed them. 'My name is Rias Gremory, and I'm a devil. But other than that I like to think I'm a pretty normal high school junior, in fact I'm currently on my school trip to Kyoto.' Rias continued through the garden, eventually coming across a small grotto with a little bench where she took a seat and let the wind blow through her hair. 'It really is a great city, everywhere I look so much of the history of Japan, everywhere. I just had to get away from Akeno and the others and take it all in for the evening, alone.' Moments passed by as the young devil sat on the bench, taking in the smell but suddenly something felt off. "What's that!?" Rias Immediately cocked her head to find a blonde young man standing in the corner of the grotto.

"Well hello devil.." The man had straight blonde hair bright red eyes and a cocky smile plastered on his face. He was wearing a white priests shirt with a black collar his hands folded by his waste. "I'm sorry but even to these disgusting pagans, Kyoto is considered a holy place. So what exactly is trash like you doing here." The strange man said with a smile, while still managing to exert an aura of menace.

"You!" Rias jumped from her seat. "You aren't human, you're a.."

"Bingo! I'm one of god's perfect creations, where as you are one of the more… flawed experiments so unfortunately I'm gonna have to ask you to come with me." The man said as he began to approach Rias.

"Yeah, not happening." The devil girl threw down a blast of red energy at the blonde priest.

"Please.." The man said as he was consumed by energy. "Don't insult me." He knocked away the energy off his body using a shield made of golden light. "Try not to make this any harder than it has to be."

"No way." Rias turned around planning to flee, but behind her were two men dressed in white cloaks holding crucifixes that caused the young girl to flinch. "Ahhh!" She screamed as she spread her bat like wings and prepared to escape through the air.

"I don't think so." The blonde priest grabbed the back of Rias' head and a flash of light poured from his fingertips, causing the young girl to suddenly fall asleep. "This time lord, you will have your sacrifice. And at last I will be granted my forgiveness. Hahahaha…" The man chuckled as he picked the unconcious girl off the ground. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

(Later, elsewhere)

'Ugghhh… My head is killing me. Where am I? Why am I gagged.' Rias opened her eyes to find herself lying on the ground in the middle of a glowing golden magic circle her hands chained down and he mouth gagged with rope. Surrounding her was a crowd of the cloaked men similar to the ones from before. "MMM!MMM!" She screamed through the rope.

"Silence!" The priest from before who now stood on an elevated platform above the, he was now wearing a white ceremonial robe decorated with a golden cross on his chest. "Trash like you shouldn't speak, it could disturb the sanctity of the ceremony. But now that you've awoken, we can commence with the sacrifice." The priest raised his arms to the sky and his hands began to glow, and the circle below Rias lit up as well. But out of nowhere the man suddenly stopped. "On second thought I have a better idea. To my faithful followers, as a reward for your dedication and service to our cause indulge yourselves on the sacrifice!" The priest declared, as Rias responded with a look of utter terror. "Reval in sin for one last time, before you absolved by our lord!"

"MMMMMM! MMMMM!" Rias screamed again and struggled with her chains, but the holy light from the circle beneath her made her too weak to do anything. She had no choice but to stare in horror as the menacing white grins of the hooded men descended on her.

RIIIIPPPPPP! Her top was ripped open and her chest was laid bare for the strange men to ogle at with lust.

"Hahaha! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The priest began to laugh maniacally as Rias was crowded by his henchmen. "That's right DEVIL! This is the end that a creature like you deserves!"

As the gruesome priest continued to laugh, he couldn't help but notice the door of his lair creak open. He immediately called to his men. "INTRUDER!"

The hood strangers quickly left Rias, her shirt torn open but the remainder of her clothes were luckily untacked as a stranger wearing a black hoodie and sweats with red kanji spray painted on his back made his way into the cultist hideout. "Oh? So this is where you've been hiding all along?" The stranger asked as he walked deeper into the dark building, the lack of lighting kept his face hidden from sight but his piercing green eyes seemed to glow through the shadow cast over his face. Even though his face wasn't visible, one could tell by his voice that he was young man most likely a teenager. "You guys are the ones that have been harassing weaker spirits lately right? Not cool." The stranger answered for himself. "This is their turf you know, they don't go over rome and mess around with you jerks do they?"

"Don't dare speak to me that way HUMAN! Those pagans are trash, and will burn for their beliefs. We've merely been spreading the truth!" The priest was now furious that his ceremony was interrupted.

"Truth huh? So i suppose your followers know your little secret?" Issei said as he fished a long jet black feather from his jacket pocket. "I didn't know the church was so accepting these days, that's pretty progressive huh? I guess anything's possible if a Fall-"

"SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH INSECT!" The priest snapped at this. "Whoever of you ends this creten's life first gets the girl first!" On his command five cultists charged the stranger.

"Fun time already?" The young man asked ducked out of the way of an incoming punch by one of the cultists, he then grabbed his attackers arm and slammed it down onto the hard grown. Two more cultist charged him together they both tried to drop kick him, but the stranger simply grabbed their feet midair and threw them back at the remaining cultists who stepped up, incapacitating all of them. "Nevermind, that wasn't very fun at all."

"What the hell?! Those men were all twice your size, that's impossible. You're human!" The Fallen Priest screamed. "You must wield a sacred gear! Yet you reject god?! Even though he granted you such a gift! Who do you think you are!?"

"Well you're right about one thing." The stranger smiled under his hood, before he through the jacket off his body.

[BOOST!] The boy was a teenager with messy brown hair, shiny green eyes, and a sharp toothed grin. Under his jacket was a red T-Shirt and the boys arm had been transformed and was now covered in red scales like steel, golden blades protruded from the end of the gauntlet and on top of his hand was a shining green orb. "I do in fact own a sacred gear. But I am not rejecting god I'm rejecting you Nutso." [BOOST!] [EXPLOSION] The gauntlet expanded, growing all the way up to boys elbow, growing a few more spikes and another green gem.

"Thats! No way! The Red Dragon Emperor! You have a longinus! GRRRR!" The priest began to levitate as two crow like wings expanded from his back, shocking all the rest of the cult. "No matter! Dragon or not you won't stop this sacrifice. I will obtain his forgiveness and be accepted back into heaven with open arms." He summoned a golden trident made of light. "I'M COMING FATHER!" He hurled his trident.

"Oh so that's the deal huh?" The boy said as he simply punched the glowing trident, shattering it midair.

"WHAT!? THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" At this point he was in full on crazy mode.

"So you've totally gone rogue, I guess that means that old Hair dye won't be to pissed if I had some fun with you." Issei pointed his gauntlet at the Fallen Angel as a small energy ball began to form in his palm. "Yeah this is gonna be fun."

[BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! DRAGON SHOT!] Issei fired the energy blast into the Fallen Angel's chest, sending him flying out of the building, screaming the whole time.

"Man that guy was annoying." Issei put his head in his hand before turning to the crowd of cultists. "Listen up! That boss of yours is a Fallen Angel, which means he can't lead you to heaven or whatever you guys believe in! So you guys better scram or the only place you will go is to a hospital!" Issei clenched his scaly fist and that was enough to scare off the cultists and cause Issei to sigh. "Ugh.. This is totally boring.."

That's when he heard a loud "MMMMFFFF! MMMMFFFF!" Coming from the floor.

"Oh crap! The hostage!" The boy face palmed as he ran over to Rias. He broke the chains that held rias and pulled her gag down allowing her to speak. "Hey misses devil. Are you alright?"

"Hah! Hah!" Rias took a few deep breaths before answering. "Y-yeah… I'll be okay, thank you." With a second look, Rias managed to take in some of the finer features of her rescuers face and began to blush. "W-Who are you?"

"Not important!" The boy abruptly turned away from the girl. "You need to go, we can't risk that psycho coming back and starting this mess all over again. So please, get going." He said as he prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Rias called out, grabbing the boy by the hand before he could leave. "You could at least tell me your name." The boy turned back around and had a massive blush on his face

"Listen, You're kinda exposed." The boy pointed to Rias' torn shirt causing the girl to cover herself and shriek. Before Rias could say anything the gem on the boys gauntlet lit up. "What!? He's getting away? Not yet, I'm not done with him yet. Listen." He turned back to Rias shielding his eyes from the indecent sight. "I'm leaving so you better do the same, but I'm like the good guy ok. So don't call the cops on me please. With that the boy ran off and lept out of the hole he created in the roof leaving the devil girl all alone.

"Um thanks… Whoever you are…"

(President Day Kuoh Academy Classroom)

"Issei Hyoudou!" A male teacher announced with a stern voice as he pointed his ruler at seem messy brown haired boy from before who was currently sitting with his head down at at his desk, napping.

"Huh." The boy woke up and slowly rose his head to look back at his angry teacher. "Present…" He said with guilty smile rousing a chuckle from his classmates.

"Well Mr Hyoudou, if my class is easy enough for you to sleep through. How about you solve the problem written on the board." Mr Teacher stepped aside as to show off the mass of numbers and letters scribbled on the board that he claimed to be a math problem.

After a brief moment of silence there was an answer. "Three, right? X equals three."

"What…?" The Teacher asked, shocked by the boys answer. He quickly checked his answer book to verify the claim.

"Well technically the answer is 2.9734 repeating but I rounded up." The young man elaborated. "It actually was pretty easy."

With that the teacher shifted from a state shocked to state of rage. "Well, Mr Hyoudou. I'll tell you what won't be so easy. It won't be so easy when you are cleaning every inch of this classroom by yourself after school."

"Uh…. Yes sir." He answered before lowering his head. 'Actually that does sound kinda easy, just a bit tedious.'

"What a smart ass." One of his classmates whispered behind his back.

"Good grades, good looks, he's good at sports but he doesn't even try." Another boy continued with the gosip.

"He's not even in any clubs, with all his talents. Talk about a slacker. No wonder he doesn't have any friends." This time it was a girl who followed up.

'I wonder if they know they're not being subtle?' The boy thought to himself as he put his head back down on his desk. 'My name is Issei Hyoudou. I'm a second year high school student but this is my first year at Kuoh Academy. When I was much younger I lived in this town with my parents but there was a fire that burned down my house and killed my parents. After that I was sent to live with my wealthy grandparents in Kyoto. So make that Rich, smart, good looking, and athletic. Anyway my grandfather died before the start of the new school year and it was decided that I would live back here in Kuoh for the rest of my high school years.'

RING! RING! The school bells blared through the class room and everyone cleared out with the exception of Issei.

"That's right Hyoudou. When I get back on monday I expect this room to be spotless, and hopefully by then you will have learned a lesson in respect." The teacher said with satisfied smirk.

"I wouldn't count on it." Issei said before his teacher could close the door causing the man to twitch a bit in fury before slamming it on Issei. "Ugh! I've only been here a week and it already sucks, it's been hell since day one."

[Well that's partially your own fault.] The top of Issei's hand lit up a bright green and a powerful voice began to ring in the boy's ear.

'This is Ddraig.' Issei monologued. 'He is the Dragon Spirit who resides in my sacred gear. He's the real Red Dragon Emperor. The Heavenly Dragon of Domination and Welsh Dragon of myth. It's his power, I just get to use it.'

[No offense Partner, but your personality is pretty much garbage. You really don't come across as friendly at all. You don't smile, you don't go out of your way to talk to people. Maybe you should join a club or something, you could always introduce yourself to the devils that reside at this school, I'm sure they are currently decide what their next move regarding you should be. Maybe you should convince them that trying to kill you isn't the move they need to make.]

"Thanks for the…. Pep Talk? But I think I'm okay, weren't you the one that acting too friendly with devils is a political move for the Red Dragon Emperor. I mean Azazel won't even talk to me in public because of how crazy things are right now. You know I'm not really big on politics." Issei said knowing it would displease the dragon, so he came up with a compromise. "But maybe I can smile more."

Issei quickly finished cleaning the room, he washed the floor and windows, swept up the dirt, and through away all the remaining trash. "Spotless." Issei remarked as he wiped the sweat off his face and he was right in a sense, the room looked to sparkle after Issei had finished his work. "I knew it would be easy."

Issei collected his bag and left the cleaned classroom. 'It was kind of a pain, but it's not like had any plans for a friday night…. The more I think about it, the sadder I get.'

[And once again, I have to say that's your fault. It's really unbecoming of the Red Dragon Emperor to be so shy around girls.] Ddraig pointed out once more.

'Ya know, I wish you'd cut it out with that. You sound like my dad if I had one.' Issei thought back, his frustration could be seen through his face.

[Actually I think I've been enabling you. Maybe if I stopped talking to you so much, you'd be forced to go and make some friends.] The Dragon threatened.

'I have friends! There just all back in Kyoto.' Issei and his Dragon continued to argue in his mind, which kinda took his mind off his surroundings and he really wasn't watching where he was going. "Oooff!" Issei exclaimed as he bumped into a girl knocking both of them to the ground. "Oh geez, my bad. I wasn't paying attention sorry." Issei apologized without realizing exactly who he had bumped into. 'Crap!'

Long red hair and soft blue eyes, made up the familiar face. "Oh, it's no problem. I wasn't paying much attention either…. Wait! You're!"

[Partner, she's a devil!] Ddraig pointed out, kinda stating the obvious at this point.

'No duh, I'm pretty sure they don't make humans like THAT!' Issei answered, noticing more than just the girl's aura.

"I know you!" Rias continued. "You're-"

"In a rush actually!" Issei quickly interrupted as he hoped to his feet. "I wish I could stay and chat Senpai, but I have a prior engagement and really have to go!" That was a lie Issei told before nearly sprinting past the girl to avoid anymore question.

(Outside Kuoh Academy grounds)

"Hoooohhh!" Issei let out a sigh of relief. "I think I lost her."

[Great, but why did you run? We just talked about this.] Ddraig asked in an annoyed tone.

"Wait. I thought you were telling me to run?" Issei replied as he caught his breath.

[No, I was just pointing out that she was in fact a devil. Then you sprinted away, but whatever. More importantly, she felt kind of familiar and seemed to know you. Do you recognize her?] Ddraig continued with his questioning and add to Issei's confusion.

"Nope, doesn't ring a bell. She was probably just talking about the sacred gear." Issei and Ddraig continued there chat, not noticing a strange new presence creep up behind them.

"Um excuse me." A soft feminine voice called out to an unprepared Issei, causing him to jump.

"Wah!" Issei yelled as he wasn't used to being snuck up on. He turned to find a girl with long black hair and the green uniform of one of the neighboring high schools. She had slim waist that helped to emphasize her above average bust and hips.

"I'm sorry, but I'm new to this area and seem to lost my way home, you looked like a nice person could you please help me?" The girl pleaded, I'm sure doing the best job she could.

[Careful partner, Red Flag!] Ddraig warned.

'Yeah, crimson flag…' Issei replied with a roll of his eyes. "Um, well first can you tell me your name?"

"Oh, sure. It's Yuuma." The girl replied with a friendly grin.

(Author's Notes)

High, I'm back. Sooner than I thought I'd be, with this new DXD story. Once again I want to apologize for the fans of my previous story for killing it when I did. Unfortunately it had gotten to a point where it wasn't fun for me to write anymore and I had to stop, but I decided to bring some of my favorite elements of that story into this one and hopefully I won't make any of the mistakes that made that story not appealing to me anymore. This story I want to make much more light hearted and fun so hopefully you guys will enjoy as much as I think I will.
