I do not own High School DxD

Chapter 1

As the sun crept through the curtains, the light hit his sleeping face, causing him to wake up. He was a teenage boy of average height with two short locks of hair behind his head, and light brown eyes. As he sat up in bed, he looked around and saw the sight of his new room. His attention was caught by a knock on the door.

"Yo, Issei," called out his step-brother. "You awake? We gotta get going soon."

"Crap, I forgot about that," Issei ground. "Give me a sec, bro. I just gotta get dressed."

"You slept in. What a surprise."

"Shut up."

After a while, came down stairs from his room to the kitchen of the house where he and his brother lived. He sat down at the table to a bowl of instant ramen. Sitting across from him was his step-brother and childhood friend. He was around the same age as him, with light silver hair and hazel eyes.

"Instant ramen again?" Issei asked.

"You know how to make anything else?"

"Good point."

"Now hurry up and eat," said the silver haired boy as he finished his bowl. "We're gonna be late."

"Oh crap! You're right!" Issei then swiftly ate his ramen and before they knew it, they were off.

Today was their first day at their new high school, Kuoh Academy, so they were both wearing the boys uniform, which consisted of a black blazer with white accents over a white, long-sleeved button-down shirt with vertical linings, a black ribbon on the collar, matching black pants, and brown dress shoes.

Ounce they were there, they made their way to their classroom and waited outside the door.

"Now then," said the teacher, "I would like to announce that we have two new transfer students joining our class. You two may enter now." As the two of them entered the classroom, the other students began to whisper and comment.

From the girls:

"Oh my gosh, two hotties!"

"One looks like someone with a warm and friendly aura!"

"While the other one is like a mysterious bad boy!"

"I can't decide which one to go for."

From the boys:

"Damn it! Two more pretty boys?!"

"Can't we catch a break?!"

"We don't want your good looks here!"

"Die, pretty boys!"

"Well, isn't this off to a great start," ground the silver haired brother.

"Yeah, no kidding," said Issei with a nervous smile.

"Alright, everyone," said the teacher. "Now then, would you two care to introduce yourselves?"

"Yeah, sure. Hey there, people! My name's Issei Hyoudou. Hope we can be friends. This here is my brother."

"Hey. I'm Vali Hyoudou," Vali said with a voice filled with uninterest.

"Wait, they're brothers?"

"But they look nothing alike."

"One of them must be adopted."

"Alright then," said the teacher. "There are two empty seats near the back. You two can sit there." The two took their seats and class began.

During lunch break, the two were sitting beneath a tree, eating their lunches which they bought from the cafeteria.

"Well, this is turning into the dullest day ever," said Vali.

"Not gonna argue with you there," said Issei.

Their attention was grabbed by the sound of yelling and a stampede. They turned around to see two boys running away from what appeared to be the girl kendo team. As the two were about to run right past them, the Hyoudou brothers were suddenly up and caught them by the collars of their shirts, causing them to choke as both they and the army of angry girls stopped running. To prevent them from escaping, they lifted them up off their feet and just aloud them to hang there.

"Ok," said Issei. "Anyone wanna tell us what this is all about?"

"I'll tell you what this is about, justice!" cried one of the girls.

"Justice?" asked Vali. He turned his attention to the one he was holding up. "You mind telling me who you two are?"

"No prob, yo! My name's Matsuda!"

"And I'm his best friend, Motohama!" said the one Issei was holding up. "And together we are..."

"THE PERVERTED DUO!"

"Perverted Duo?" asked Issei.

"Let me guess, they did something along the lines of peeping on you girls while you were getting changed?" asked Vali.

"That's exactly what they did!"

"What's so wrong with that?!" asked Matsuda.

"Doing so is our birthright as men!" Motohama added.

"You're birthright?" asked Vali.

"You guys are just all kinds of desperate, aren't you?" asked Issei. "So, Vali. What do think we should do with them? Kick their asses ourselves, give them to the girls they peeped on, or drag their sorry asses off to the proper authorities?" Unknown to them, the girls kendo team was already blushing.

"I say we give them to the girls. Seeing them beat the crap out of these two sounds much more satisfying."

"As satisfying as that sounds, I'm afraid you'll have to go with the third option," came a voice. They turned to see a women wearing purple glasses with a slim figure, black hair styled in a short bob cut and violet eyes. Behind her were two people. One was another women wearing blue glasses, with long straight black hair that extended down to her knees, with split bangs and light brown eyes. The other was a young man with short blond hair and grey eyes.

"Oh! President Shitori!" gasped one of the girls.

"President?" asked Issei.

"You two are the new students? Aren't you?" asked Shitori.

"Yeah, that's us," Vali answered. "I'm Vali and this is my brother, Issei."

"Sup?"

"Good day to you two. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Sona Shitori, the student council president. These two are also members of the student council, Tsubaki Shinra and Genshirou Saji."

"Hey. You can just call me Saji."

"Nice to meet you, man," Issei said with a friendly smile.

"Now then, as I said, as satisfying as it would be to watch these two get the physical punishment they deserve, as student council president, I cannot allow violence on school grounds. Therefore, I must kindly ask you two to put them down and hand them over so that we deal with them."

"Fine by me," said Issei as he and Vali tossed the two perverts at her feet. "I'm not big into punishing people anyway."

"Yeah, that's because you're too soft all the time," said Vali.

"Come on, man. Cut me some slack."

"Thank you. We'll see to is that they're punished," said Sona as Saji grabbed the two by the collars and dragged them off. The two girls were following him when Sona stopped for a moment to turn back. "Oh, and welcome to Kuoh Academy. I hope you two both enjoy it here."

"Thank you," said Issei with a smile while Vali just scoffed.

His attention was snatched away when he had the feeling that someone was watching him. He turned to the a window of an old school building near them to see a beautiful young girl with white skin, blue eyes, and a buxom figure. Her most noticeable feature, however, was her long, beautiful crimson hair that reached down to her thighs and had loose bangs covering her forehead and side bangs framing her face.

"Nice hair," said Issei. "I always did like the color red. Who is that?"

"Oh, her?" asked one of the kendo girls. "Her name's Rias Gremory."

"Gremory you say?" asked Vali. "I think I've heard that name before somewhere."

"I wouldn't be surprised if you had. She's president of the Occult Research Club. Word is she's from Northern Europe."

"Is that so?" The bell suddenly rang at with it, the girl was gone from the window.

"Well, we should be getting back to class everyone,"Issei said to everyone there.

"Oh joy," Vali sighed. The kendo girls waved bye to them as they walked off.

"Northern Europe, huh?" asked Issei.

"Not a bad chose of cover story for a Devil," said Vali as they walked off to class.

In the room of the old building, the girl Rias was sitting on a couch in front of a chess board. Standing behind her was a beautiful young women with a voluptuous figure, violet eyes and very long black hair that was ties in a long ponytail, reaching all the way down to her legs, with an orange ribbon keeping it in place.

"Who were those boys," asked Rias.

"What boys?" asked the girl behind her.

"The two the kendo team were fawning over."

"Well, I think they're in class 2-B. If I remember right, they're brothers. Names are Issei and Vali Hyoudou. Why? What makes you ask about them?"

"I get the feeling they're hiding something."

Later after school, the sun was beginning to set. As they crossed the bridge that led to their house, they stopped when they felt someone's presence.

"Issei..."

"...I know." They both stopped and turned to behind them. "Alright, we know you're there. You can come out now. Relax, we won't hurt you."

There was nothing for a moment. Then out walked a short, petite girl with white hair and hazel eyes. The front of her hair was two long bangs going past her shoulders and several loose hangs hanging from her forehead, while the back was a short bob cut. Completing her look where two black cat-shaped hair clips on both sides of her hair. She also wore the Kuoh Academy girls' uniform, meaning she was a student.

"Totally called it," she said.

"We don't wanna start any trouble now," said Issei with warm friendly smile. "But do you mind telling us why you're following us?"

"I was asked to see if you two are a threat or not."

"Only if you get in our way," Vali said in a way of warning.

"Easy, bro," said Issei. "You were sent by Rias Gremory, right? We'll be more than happy enough to talk to her personal tomorrow."

"I'll tell her you said that," said the short girl as she walked off. As she did, Vali delivered a blow to Issei's head.

"OW! What the hell was that for?!"

"Our cover's blown and I blame you."

"You blame me for everything!"

-/-

"They discovered you that quickly?" asked Rias.

"Yup. Looks like you were right about them," said the white haired girl.

"And?" asked the black haired one. "Are they a threat?"

"The silver haired emo's the one I suspect to cause the most trouble. That idiot looks like he'd rather be friends then an enemy."

"Well that's good to know," said Rias. "I look forward to talking to them tomorrow."

The next day, the bell had just rung to signal lunch had begun.

"Who ever she's sending to fetch us, they're certainly taking their sweet time," said Vali.

"Just relax and be patient, man," said Issei.

Their attention was grabbed by the sound of the girls in their class squealing. They turned to see a boy their age walk into the room. He was a hansom young man with short blond hair, blue eyes and a mole underneath his left eye.

"Look, it's Kiba!" squealed one of the girls.

"The Prince of Kuoh Academy!"

"The what now?" asked Vali.

"Don't ask me," said Issei.

"You're all looking lovely today," Kiba said to the crowd of blushing girls surrounding him.

"You look better," one of the girls said.

"I'm sorry the room's not cleaner," said another.

"Oh brother," the two brothers sighed.

"Excuse me," said Kiba as he walked over to them, "are you two the Hyoudou brothers?"

"Yeah, that's us," said Issei.

"Excellent, I'm here on an errand from Rias Gremory."

"Awesome, we were just talking about that. I'm Issei Hyoudou and this is my brother Vali. Nice to meet you man," Issei said as he stood up and offered a handshake, which Kiba gratefully accepted.

"You to, I'm Yuuto Kiba, but please just call me Kiba. Now, would you two mind coming with me?"

"Oh my god!" gasped one of the girls. "Is Kiba-cakes about to walk out of this room with the two new hotties?!"

"All three of them together?! I'm don't think I'll be able to handle it!"

"Come on, let's get out of here before my ears explode," ground Vali as he got up.

-/-

Later on, the two soon found themselves what appeared to be a meeting room in the old school building. The short white haired girl from yesterday was sitting on a couch, eating a snack.

"You two have already met Konenko Toujou from yesterday," said Kiba. "She's a first year and a valued member of the Occult Research Club."

"Hey there. Nice to see you again," Issei said with his signiture smile, filled with warmth and friendliness. Koneko looked at him before turning to Vali.

"Is that smile of his permanently glued to his face or something?"

"Is seems like it at times," said Vali.

"Hey, come on."

"There's nothing wrong with a smiling face," came a voice. They turned to see the black haired girl. She walked up to them and bowed slightly. "It's nice to meet you. Don't worry, everyone here's super nice. I'm Akeno Himejima, and I'm the vice-president of the club."

"Nice to meet you to," said Issei as he bowed back. "I'm Issei Hyoudou and this is my brother Vali."

"Hey," Vali said with a bored voice.

"Come on, man," said Issei. "At least try to be nice."

"With all do respect, I'd like for us to just get straight to the point."

"Nothing wrong with that," said a voice. They turned to see the lady herself walk in.

"Hello there, I'm Rias Gremory. And you're the Hyoudou brothers, yes?"

"Yup, that's us," Issei answered.

"Great. Now that everyone's here let's get down to business." Soon, everyone was sitting down, except for Vali who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. "Now then, to keep things short, we already know that you two aren't normal humans. So what I want to know is, are you two a threat to us devils?"

Issei and Vali looked at each other before turning back to Rias.

"You can consider us allies as long as you don't get in our way," said Vali.

"And what, pray tell, does that mean?" asked Rias.

"Sorry," said Issei. "Vali here's a bit of a jerk, so let me explain. To keep from beating around the bush, we were sent here by the Grigori."

This was a surprise to them and everyone stood up.

"The Grigori," Rias said as if it left a stain in her mouth. "In other words, you work for the Fallen Angles."

"Wow now," said Issei as he held up his hands. "We don't wanna fight. We're just here to deal with some rogues."

"Rogues?"

"We have reasons to believe that some Fallen Angles have decided to go behind old man Azazel's back and are gathering here," said Vali. "He asked us personally to come here and check things out."

"He also said to bring this out in case you saw though our cover," said Issei as he pulled out a flat, blank, grey card.

After he laid it down, a hologram appeared above it. It was a tall man appearing to be in his twenties with an average build, black hair, golden bangs and a black goatee.

[Hello there. This is a recorded message for one Rias Gremory left by the brilliant genies leader of the Fallen Angels, Azazel.]

"As full of himself as ever," said Vali.

[Now then, I'm sure you're a bit surprised to find these two in your territory, but let me just say that we have no desire to get into a fight with you. These two aren't so much as working for me. It's more like they're running and errand for me. My boys there are just there to deal with the Fallen Angel rouges, nothing more. Of course, knowing Issei, he's going to suggest that you and your peerage help them out to try and start smoothing things out between our two factions. Which, I gotta say, I'm all fore.]

With that, the message ended and the hologram disappeared. Everyone then turned their eyes to Issei.

"Issei..." Vali said.

"Come on, bro. Like the old man said, it could be the start of smoothing things out between the Fallen Angels and Devils."

Rias let out a long sigh before speaking.

"I'm not all that thrilled about working with someone from the Grigori. However, this could be a big step forward for things between our two factions. Very well, you'll have our help."

"Awesome," Issei cheered with a smile on his face. "Don't worry, you won't regret it. You can trust us."

Issei was already up and out the door. Vali was moving a little slower. He stopped in front of the door and turned back to face the devils.

"Listen, my brother may be an idiot who trusts people a little to easily, but know this: now that you've agreed to work with him, he already considers you all his friends. And that's all it takes for him protect each and every one of you with his life." This caught them all off guard. "He's a happy, go-lucky idiot, but he's the most selfless, most trustworthy person I've ever met in my life. So don't worry, you're in good hands with him." With that, he took his leave.

The young Devils were silent for a moment before Rias broke the silence with a smile.

"Well now, this should be interesting."
