Chapter One: Meeting Meridia
Kaitou Matsumoto, an average man in the eyes of many, he stood at 5' 6'' with a rather normal build. He had no real muscle definition, nor did he have large and bulky muscles. He had the normal black hair and dark brown eyes of Japan, and he was lightly tanned, all in the norm. However, there was one thing about him that was different. Something that could not be seen. Kaitou was the Asian Kendo Champion for 6 years running, he had first won the title when he was 20, and now he is 26 and still the holder of the title of Asian Champion.
He was definitely not the average male in Japan. Most men were more concerned with work and day to day activities, Kaitou on the other hand was worried about keeping his title. He had won quite the sum of money from his career as a professional Kendo fighter and he wished to win more and protect his title. However, he still had a job as a Gym teacher in the school near him, Kuoh Academy.
Kuoh Academy is a prestigious school that was formerly all girls and has recently gone coed. Kaitou has had a job there since before the change over to being coed, and has been one of the gym teachers and faculty supervisor for the Kendo club for the last 4 years. It was funny remembering the looks on the girls' faces when he walked into the gymnasium during Kendo club practice time, just seeing how they got stars in their eyes and went all fan-girlish over him was so amusing in his opinion.
It was in the last year though, that Kaitou has been having strange feelings come over him every now and then. Odd thing was, it was only around certain people. Rias Gremory, head of the school's Occult Research Club and one of the acclaimed 'Two Great Ladies', along with the other members of the Occult Research Club, Akeno Himejima, the other of the 'Two Great Ladies', Yuuto Kiba, the 'Prince' of Kuoh, and Koneko Toujou, the school's 'Mascot' as the other students say. He also gets the feeling around the members of the Student Council, Sona Sitri, and the other members.
He has been trying to figure out what it was that he was feeling, at first he thought he was turning into a pervert when he had the feelings around the young women, especially Rias and Akeno. However, that was proven wrong when he had the same feeling around Yuuto and the male members of the Student Council. He now thinks that it's something to do with an allergy of kind, but it seems unlikely. What he doesn't know is that he is sensing the dark power inside them all, them being Devils and all.
However, back to the story at hand. We currently see Kaitou taking a class out onto the track and field area of the school grounds, however, he has an uncomfortable look about him, mainly because he is walking next to Yuuto Kiba who was currently talking to him about Kendo. Many would think that Kaitou simply didn't like Yuuto and that was why he looked uncomfortable, though it is actually for the reason that he has a nagging feeling in his mind and his gut, similar to a light headache and being hungry.
"-So how would you go about defending against that, Sensei?" Yuuto asked, the boy was of average height, a little taller than Kaitou himself, and had unusual blonde hair and blue eyes, making him look foreign rather than a Japanese National.
Kaitou looked to Yuuto and rubbed the back of neck, "I'm sorry, Kiba-kun, would you be able to repeat that? I was off in my own little world for a minute." The Gym teacher lied smoothly. Yuuto nodded with a smile on his face, "Of course, Sensei. If someone is about to attack with a slash from the left hand side while you have your guard more to the right, how you defend against it?" The young male asked. Kaitou smiled, having been in this predicament himself many times, "What I do to defend, is duck under the slash and sweep my opponents feet from the under them. If that fails, then kick their legs whilst in mid air and end the battle there and then with a quick slash to the shoulder." The man said as he looked forward at the rest of the class, the members of the Kendo club that were there seemed to be taking notes from what he had said and some even had stars in their eyes.
What happened next however, took the dark haired man by surprise. He suddenly got a shooting pain course through his right arm and a splitting headache that made him feel like his head was about to split in two with the sheer pain he felt from it. However, that was not the surprising part. What had really surprised and even scared him, was the loud voice he heard echoing through his head. He knew it was in head because no one else seemed to be feeling the same thing.
"Kaitou Matsumoto... You are the chosen to be my champion, the guide for my cleansing light. I am Meridia! Daedric Prince of Energy and Life! You shall be the barer of my artefact, what mortals call Dawnbreaker. Carry my sword and rid this world of the foul beings that infect and destroy it with their very presence!" Spoke the loud and booming voice... Though it was definitely female, he could tell that much through the pain and screaming in his head.
When the pain finally subsided, he opened his eyes to see all the students in his class gathered around him and looking down at him with concern. It would seem that he had fallen to his knees and then onto his back in the midst of his booming lady voice induced pain.
He stood up and looked around once again, he saw some of the other members of staff around and the school nurse standing there with her medic kit in hand. He smiled and waved them off, "No need to worry yourself too much, I'm fine now. Just a brief moment of intense skull splitting pain." He said, showing off his rather odd sense of humour. He smiled again as the nurse nodded, though she still suggested he take the rest of the week off.
[Kaitou's apartment 6:00 PM]
Kaitou walked into his apartment, a rather small place having one bedroom, a small kitchen diner, and a living room with a single three seater couch and a chair along with a 32'' LCD TV. He dropped his keys onto the small cabinet by the front door and sighed, looking in the mirror above the afore mentioned cabinet he saw that he was blood shot in the eyes and he had dark bags under his eyes from the massive headache he had earlier in the day.
He walked into his kitchen and opened a cupboard up, looking inside and pulling out a half pint glass before walking over to the tap and filling the glass up with cold water. He then grabbed a pack of paracetamol and taking out two of the tablets before putting them in his mouth and taking a mouthful of water to wash them down. He shook his head to clear it of the thoughts about the events earlier in the day and walked toward his bedroom.
Entering the small bedroom, Kaitou looked around at what was in the room. He had a double bed that was covered in pale grey sheets, a dark oak dresser to side of the door, and a small mirror at head height on the wall near the dresser. It was a rather basic set up, but he didn't need a fancy and elaborate bedroom, besides, he lived alone in a one bedroom apartment.
He opened the dresser and looked at the clothes he had, most being track suits or other sports equipment, though he had a few suits and other articles of formal attire in the drawers of the dresser. He pulled out a tank top and a pair of loose fitting sweat pants before changing out of the track suit he wears to teach at Kuoh. He dressed in the clean clothing and then proceeded to walk out of his room and into the kitchen once again, this time however, he headed for the cooker on the far side of the room and turned on the oven. He then walked over to his cupboards and pulled out ingredients to make himself an omelet.
After having cooked and eaten the omelet, Kaitou was in his living room with his Boken and practising some stances and Katas for his own unique style of Kendo. He had the TV on and a movie playing whilst he did so, watching 47 Ronin while practising.
He was distracted from his practise and watching of movies when he suddenly blacked out, his head becoming light and feeling like he was somewhere outside of his body. He crumpled into a heap of flesh on the carpeted floor of his living room, but not before hissing as the shooting pain in his right arm returned.
[Skies above the city]
Kaitou awoke and looked around at the dark clouded sky the surrounded him, he was so enraptured by the fact he was floating the sky that he forgot to panic about the very same thing and that he could fall at any moment. He looked around again before spying a floating orb of light. Kaitou stared at the shining orb for a few moments before he heard the same voice as earlier, though this time he could tell it was coming from the orb of light before him.
"Kaitou Matsumoto, I am Meridia. I have already spoken to you once before and told you of your part in this world. This world has become infected by the vile creatures of darkness, Devils, Stray Devils, Fallen Angels, and Rogue Priests and Exorcists. You are to be the wielder of my cleansing light and shall help me cleanse this world of the vile creatures that inhabit it." The Daedric Prince spoke to he human male.
"Wait what!? You mean Devil and Angels and all that are real? Well, I can't really be that surprised, I'm speaking to a floating ball of light in the middle of the sky." The black haired man intoned with a look of thoughtfulness about him. He then looked down and screamed, "What the hell am I doing up here!?" He screamed in fright as he began to panic about being several hundred meters above the city he lived in.
Meridia seemed to chuckle with her disembodied voice making it seem rather ominous, "You should not worry about the height you at, I am using my power to bring your mind out of your body and manifest it up here. And for your earlier question, yes, Devils, Angels, Fallen Angels, Dragons, they all exist. I am one of a race of ancient beings known as Daedra, I am one of the 17 most powerful of my kind and have been given the title of Daedric Prince. Most will say that Daedra are evil creatures, however, we are not inherently evil, we simply follow different morals and codes to mortals." The Daedra said.
Kaitou seemed to accept Meridia's explanation bout why they were floating, though he was still panting at a fast pace, showing that he was very uncomfortable with being so high up. "Okay, and what do you want with me? I know you said I'm going to guide your 'cleansing light', but what does that entail?" He asked.
"You will become my instrument of judgement and bring my holy light down upon those that infect this world with their corruption. You will become a destroyer of evil, a slayer of Devils, and a hunter of darkness." Meridia explained to the human male.
Kaitou gaped, "You want me to kill people just because they're 'creatures of darkness' and you don't like them!?" He asked with a seemingly enraged tone. "I wont be a part of your sick ideals!" He shouted at the Daedra.
"You don't have a choice, Kaitou Matsumoto." Meridia said with finality. She then disappeared and Kaitou began to fall from the sky.
The dark eyed male panicked and started to flap his arms frantically, trying desperately to stay airborne. However, despite his best attempts, he continued to fall. He soon hit the roof of his apartment building and everything went black.
"AAAHHH!" Came a shout from Kaitou's living room as he awoke with a start, sitting bolt upright with wide eyes, "Fuck..." He groaned as he put a hand to his head to try and sooth the pulsing pain that coursed through his skull. He then realised there was a weight on his lap and looked down, seeing a sword laying across his legs.
The sword looked amazing, it was a brilliant gold in colour was a glowing gem at the base of blade where it connects to the handle. It was easily a good 3 feet in length and was one handed. Kaitou looked over the sword and sighed, apparently he really didn't have a choice in whether he was a pawn in one of Meridia's grand schemes to wide out all Devils and Fallen Angels that reside on Earth.
The man took the blade in hand and lifted it, feeling the weight and balance of the weapon as he stood and looked over the sword once more. "Okay, Meridia. Let's see where this takes me." He mutters to himself and the gem at he cross guard glowed brighter for only a moment.
The sword then disappeared in flash of light and Kaitou felt a searing pain in his right arm, he looked at the limb and found that he had an image of Dawnbreaker with a bright light behind it appearing on his upper arm. He continued to stare at the 'tattoo' for a few moments before passing out, his mind not being able to handle everything that had happened in the day so far.
And that's the first chapter of DxD: Devil x Daedra! I hope you all enjoyed the story and will leave me lots of nice reviews, obviously I don't want flames and they will be treated as any writer with a spine would. If any of you have any suggestions on a pairing for Kaitou or anything else, then leave them in your reviews and I'll take a look. Obviously, be sensible with the pairings, Kaitou will be a hunter of evil and darkness, so no pairing with people like Rias or Akeno... Not only would it be impractical, it would be illegal and immoral... Even if they are bodacious babes with big boobs...
Also, Kaitou will become a kind of vigilante Exorcist and he will be a bad ass. If you have an idea for another wielder of a 'Daedric Gear' then leave it in a review along with any suggestions you might have.
