Narrator POV

A teenager was lying under the shade of an oak while many children were playing in the park around him. He was napping softly with the black jacket of his school costume unbuttoned and the headphones playing "Blackheart by Two Steps From Hell" in his ears. He had messy,spiky brown hair, slim body with a little boy-fat and chocolate eyes. Suddenly, a leaf fell on his face waking him up.

"Uhhhmm" he yawned picking up the leaf in his hand. "Time to get going I guess" he murmured looking at the clock on his cellphone's screen. He got up and stretched lazily before picking up his backpack on his shoulder and started heading out of the park. Although it was a sunny day his mood was cloody. Tomorrow was his birthday but he knew he shouldn't get his hopes up. He was living with his mother in a town known as Kuoh. His mother was working as a doctor in the local hospital, due to her profession she didn't spend much time at home, sometimes she would even sleep in her office. Issei loved his mother and he knew how much her work meant to her. He would take care of the housework in order to make her schedule a bit lighter. He never knew his biological father, his mother told him when he was 11 that he was conceived through ivf. At first he felt a bit disturbed from that fact and jealous of other children playing with their dads. In time he accepted it and vowed to take care of his mother as much as he could.

Issei POV

Issei headed to Kuoh academy, a high school which went co-ed a couple years ago. He passed through the school gates listening music when a commotion spread among the students. He looked back at the gate and he saw a luxurious silver limousine parking outside. A butler opened the door and bowed respectfully as a beautiful girl with crimson hair got out of the car. Her name was Rias Gremory, daughter of an aristocrat from northern europe as the rumors told. She moved in Kuoh a couple months ago and captured the hearts of all the males in school with her big bust, slender legs and green-blue eyes. A man in a red exptensive looking suit exited the car, he had blond hair, dark blue eyes and a robust physique. He caught her hand and planted a kiss on top of it before whispering something in her ear. He entered the limo with a smirk and left. A girl with long black,silky hair in a ponytail approached her and and gave her an understanding smile. As they were walking to the school's main building Rias looked at Issei for a moment before she went inside. He noticed that her expression was sad.

"Even rich people have problems" he thought while heading to his class. He sat on his chair by the window looking outside bored. Then someone slapped him hard on the back of his head. "Aahh! What's your deal.." he started complaining only to start sweating before a girl who looked at him with her brow rised. She had brown long hair adorned with a red ribbon and light maroon eyes. Her name was Murayama, she was his friend and practice partner at the kendo club. "Where have you been this morning? You missed our practice." she said with a strict expression. "Umm...sorry... I was kinda busy..Haha" he said while laughing awkwardly. "Busy... like sleeping in the park?" she asked noticing his frozen smile. "... Pfff... Anyway, forget it... you will have extra practice hours... have you made any plans for tomorrow?" "Nothing yet... I expect a call from my mum to learn if she will be free..." he responded while petting his head in pain. "You know I find it a bit troubling that a delicate girl has so strong hand" he teased her. Murayama stuck her tongue "Lazy-ass" she made fun of him and sat at her desk. "Macho-freak" he responded in kind when the teacher entered in the class. "Good morning everyone! We have a transferred student... Come in Amano-san." he said. A girl with black hair that reached to her waist and violet eyes walked in. She stood in front of the blackboard and made a small bow. "Hello! My name is Amano Yuuma. I am 16 years old. I am looking forward becoming friends with you" she said with a cute smile. "OOOOOHHHH!" the boys roared with flustered faces which made the girls roll their eyes in frustration. "Silence! Amano-san there is an empty seat there." the teacher said while pointing at a desk next to Issei's. "Hi!" she said while sitting down. "Hello! My name is Hyoudou Issei" responded Issei kindly. "Umm... I am sorry for asking this out of the blue but I moved in yesterday and I haven't unpacked all my stuff yet...can we share your textbook?" she asked a bit shyly. "Of course" Issei said. She moved her desk next to his and the smell of her shampoo tingled his nostrils. "Mmm...vanilla" he said in his head while moving his textbook closer to Yuuma. "Actually it's almond" she said with a smile and her cheeks slightly red. "...Did I say that outloud?!" he asked ashamed. "..I don't mind it" Yuuma said chuckling. "I am sorry...umm I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable..." he whispered while hiding his face behind his right palm. He sensed something soft caressing his palm resting on his desk. "...You didn't" she said and breathed softly in his ear. Issei smiled with his face flustered and then he noticed the murderous gazes of his male classmates. Yuuma giggled and continued caressing his hand. Murayama noticed how clingy Yuuma was and made a sullen face. "Stupid Issei..." she murmured. Among the other classmates there was a girl with white short hair, small but charming build. Her face was expressionless as always but there was a deep feeling of disgust in her golden eyes.

The lessons ended at 5 p.m. and the students were heading out of the school. Issei was walking side by side with Yuuma carrying her bag. "Do you have any plans for tonight?" Yuuma asked when they arrived at the bridge over the shallow river that divided the town. "Actually it's my birthday tomorrow but I haven't made any plans yet..." Issei said. "OH! That's great! I need to buy you a present and.." Yuuma shouted happily. "No, it's ok but thank you for the gesture" Issei said smiling. "Umm... ok" Yuuma pouted, then she kissed him on the cheek but very close to his lips and passed a folded piece of paper in his hand. "Call me if you want to hang out!" she said winking at him with her cheeks red before she left. "Wow!" Issei gasped watching her walking away while touching the spot she kissed him.

At 6:30 p.m. Issei got home whistling happily along the way. After taking a quick shower and changed in comfortable clothes he went in the kitchen. He started making dinner, pasta arrabiata, when his cellphone rung. Recognizing the number he answered it happily "Hi mum!" "How is my little choco-bite?" his mother replied teasingly. Issei facepalmed himself. "Mum tomorrow I am becoming 16... I think I am old enough not to be called that..." he said embarrassed. "No matter how old you get you will always be my sweety!" his mother said happily. "Umm...listen..I... just got informed that I have a late shift so..." his mother continued sad. "Don't worry! We can celebrate tomorrow." Issei said with a bitter smile. "Thanks sweety... I am sorry about tonight. I will give a call at midnight and sing you happy birthday!" she said overjoyed. "Hahahaha! Ok mum! Be careful not to overwork yourself. Talk to you later." Issei responded laughing. He ended the call, poured some of the pasta in a plate and went to the living room. He sat on the couch and ate while watching an anime about a perverted teenager who wished for a harem while he already had one. He washed the dish and looked at the clock above of the frigde. "It's only 8 huh" he said wiping his hands with a towel. "Well... why not?" Issei said and went in his room. He found the note Yuuma gave him and dialed the number on his cellphone.

Thirty minutes later Issei was sitting on a bench near a fountain in the city plaza. He was wearing a pair of jeans, black all star sneakers, a white T-shirt and a brown leather jacket. "Issei-san!" he heard and turned around. Yuuma was standing there dressed in purple tight shirt which exposed a bit of her cleavage, white mini-skirt and heels with leather straps. "Cute" he said a bit light headed. Yuuma blushed hearing that and hugged his arm between her chest. Issei swallowed the saliva that gathered in his mouth. "Where are you taking me?" Yuuma asked him clearly enjoying his reactions. "I have a few ideas..." Issei responded after regaining control of his thoughts.

They went in a molecular mixing cafe. Issei ordered a beverage whose taste altered every 10 minutes and Yuuma some jelly bubbles filled with fruit juice. Yuuma started feeding Issei the jelly bubbles while he tried to guess the flavor with his eyes closed. "This is... watermelon?" Issei pondered. "Correct!" Yuuma said and picked another one. "Next guess!" she said, looking at Issei's face she smiled naughtily and put the jelly bubble between her lips. She gave him the jelly with her lips touching soflty his. Issei opened his eyes surprised and bit the bubble spilling the juice on the croch area of his pants. "Oww! Already wet are we?" Yuuma said with a suggestive gaze making Issei's face completely red. "I... I am going to the bathroom..." Issei stuttered. He walked quickly in the bathroom while Yuuma was trying not to laugh. He closed the cabinet's door and tried to relax. The image of Yuuma's sexy expression was popping in his head. "Ahh!" Issei shouted and placed his palms on the door and started hitting his forehead on it. "YOU! (bump) FUCKING! (bump) BLOODY! (bump) DISGRACE!(BUMP)".

After drying his pants he payed the check at a female waitress who giggled a bit. Issei and Yuuma were walking while holding hands between the shops. Something drew his interest and pulled Yuuma in a jewelry store. He talked with the shop clerk and bought something. After they exited from the store Yuuma turned to him. "Issei-san what did you..." before she could finish her question Issei pulled her hand gently and put something on her ring finger. Yuuma stared at her finger, there was a ring made of silver branches with a small amethyst stone entangled in them. Issei was waiting nervously for her reaction while Yuuma was admiring the ring speechless. "Thank you... It's really beautiful...but it's your birthday...I should be the one to buy you a present." she said softly. "Being with you is more than enough." Issei responded seriously. Yuuma blushed intensively and hugged him placing her head on his neck.

The passed through a park heading for the bridge where she gave him her phone number. While they were walking on the pavement Yuuma suddenly stopped and looked at her feet. "Yuuma-san? What's wrong?" Issei asked. She embraced him tightly and he felt her hole body shivering. "Issei...can I ask you a favor?" she whispered. "Anything you want" Issei returned her embrace and caressed her hair. "Will you die for me?" Yuuma said giggling. "Umm...Y-Yuuma?" Issei mumbled noticing that her voice sounded a bit different, more mature. Then her clothes dissolved, black feather, raven like wings grew from her shoulderblades embracing him. Issei shocked looked while a black liquid formed leather straps that barely covered her pink, pointy nipples and her shaved womanhood. Suddenly he felt extremely pain on his stomach. An iridisone light spear impaled his belly piercing all the way to his back. The spear disappeared and blood flushed from both holes. Issei fell down choking at the blood that was rising to his mouth. Yuuma had a lustfull expression. "Time for your birthday present Issei" she said lying on top of him while licking her lips. She kissed him violently, forcing here tongue in his mouth tasting his blood. She got up with her pale lips painted red with his blood, her once warm violet are were now cold. "Thank you for tha date Issei" she said before spreading her wing disappearing in the dark sky.

Issei lied in a pool of blood. His body getting colder every passing second. He cried until his breathing stopped. His cellphone rung. After a few seconds the answering machine picked up the call. "Issei? You must have fallen asleep sweety" his mother's voice sounded tired. "Well, anyway you can hear the message when you wake up... Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!..." The song never reached his ears because he was dead. A black mark appeared at the center of his chest and started spreading like spider web on his body. When it reached his eyes Issei took a deep breath and opened his eyes, they were not brown but icy grey.
