Authors notes: This is my first ever fanfic, so please don't be too harsh in the reviews if you don't like it. That said I'm all for constructive criticism, so if you catch any spelling and grammar errors or anything else really, please do let me know. With that said, this is an OC story inspired from a faction in High School DxD that interested me but hasn't really been touched on too much yet in the LN. The story will start out just following my OC, but later on there will be multiple POV's featuring Issei, Saji, and whoever else I feel would be fun to write the perspectives of. With that, onto the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Highschool DxD, I only own my OC.

Chapter 1

Being the nephew of a supernatural terrorist is tougher than I thought it would be. Sure it may have been odd for someone who holds a position such as I to ask for a vacation, but everyone needs a bit of time to relax every once in a while! Too bad me and my uncles idea of relaxation didn't exactly match up, and now here I am on an island country in the humans world. Anythings better then staying around the rest of the Khaos Brigade though, I've never been much of a bad guy to be honest. The only reason I'm a part of it is because my family has always had ties to the group and it's the only place I could ever consider a home. Being on their side hasn't been all bad though, I have met some interesting people while on missions and the freedom that comes with this kind of life is nice. Before I get too ahead of myself, let me explain my predicament a little bit more. While I'm on vacation in the humans world, I'm also to find and observe the host of the evil dragon Vritra.

Since the host of Vritra is the only host of an evil dragon not currently a part of the Khaos Brigade, some of the others see him as a potential threat. Most likely he's just a regular human so the chances of him ever becoming a threat are low, but that doesn't stop my uncle from fretting over it. With just hearing this, you'd think the job wouldn't be that awful...too bad the area where he's been located also happens to be the location of two of the fake satans younger siblings. To top it off I'll have to attend the same school as them as a 3rd year. Sounds just great, right? I guess it couldn't be helped though. Most of the higher ups felt it necessary that one of the current evil dragon hosts should take care of this, and when comparing me to the other six I can see why I was chosen for such a delicate job.

"Orael-sama, don't you think it's about time to attend your first day of school?" Said my trusted familiar and friend, Zurui, as I continued walking the streets of this maze the natives here consider a town.

"Ehh? But this is our first time here in Japan and I haven't been to the humans world in months, don't you want to explore around a bit? What time does school here start anyways?" I countered, trying to think of a reason to avoid going to Kuoh Academy.

"Two hours ago sir." Zurui stated with a slight smirk on his face.

"Hmm...that could be a problem." I stopped to weigh my options. Either go into the heart of the enemies territory for half my day or look around town to see more of where I'll be staying for a while.

"I'm sure you'll make a great first impression." He said with an obvious hint of sarcasm.

"And what makes you say that? I bet they'll like me as soon as they see me!" I responded in an upbeat attitude. I've never been one to back away from a challenge that's not too ludicrous.

"You're wearing jeans, a t-shirt and a hoodie to a school that requires a uniform. I'm pretty sure you could've done a bit more to try and set a good first impression sir." Zurui said while laughing. It's true, I was wearing black jeans and shoes, a blue t-shirt and a dark blue hoodie, but that's only because I wouldn't be caught dead in a uniform. Plus I still haven't fully gotten used to the human worlds sun yet, how do they deal with this thing for half their day?

'It's not my fault that I have a severe hate for sunlight either...'

After thinking that, I heard what sounded like someone scoffing from the inside of my mind.

Turning towards Zurui, I looked at what he was wearing. "Oh and you don't look sketchy walking around in a trench coat, fedora and sunglasses?" I said, noticing his hat was covering up most of his short, straight black hair while his brown eyes were still noticeable under his glasses.

"What I wear doesn't matter, as soon as I can find a quick place to hide I'll just transform. Besides, I look like I'm from around here. I can at least blend in much more than someone who looks like he came from the other side of the Earth." He said while looking around for an alley to go to. Zurui's truly a snake who can just take the form of a human, so he usually feels more comfortable in his snake form.

"Might as well since I'll be busy for a while. Search around town to see what else I'll be up against, some of the reports said that fallen angels have been sighted around here recently and I still haven't honed my senses to pick up on their smell yet. We can't let them find the host of Vritra before we do." I said as I looked down at my map of the area and located Kuoh Academy. "Give me a call later to let me know what you find."

"Yes sir, try not to get yourself into anything troublesome for your first day." He said knowing me all too well.

I had a bitter smirk on my face. "Can't make any promises, but we'll see how things go."

After a few more minutes of walking, I came across the front gates of the school. I got to say, it's a lot nicer than I thought it'd be. That's only to be expected of a private school created by one of the fake satans though. Noticing there was nobody around at the time, I figured they all must already be inside. Not too surprising considering how late I am, but I guess it helps that I won't have to deal with any unneeded attention on my way to class. I quickly pulled out a comb and small mirror to fix my short, messy dark brown hair and see if there was any crust around my light greenish-yellow eyes. The least I can do is look somewhat presentable to make up for my clothing and lateness. After seeing that everything looked fine, I tossed the comb and mirror into a pocket dimension made from shadows while making sure nobody was around.

'Hopefully everything goes alright...' I said to myself as I entered Kuoh Academy.

[If anything goes wrong, we could always just kill them all.], said a soft hissing voice coming from my mind.

'Yeah...something's telling me going on a mass killing spree isn't the greatest idea ever, but I'll keep it in mind. Anyways you need to be quiet while I'm here, devils aren't supposed to have sacred gears so I won't be able to use you often.'

The voice let out an amused laugh. [Just a suggestion partner, you need to stop being so soft. I'm dying to see how you do on your first mission without that damn Khaos Brigade watching over you.]

'It's not that I'm soft, it's just that your suggestions always involve killing whoever gets in our way. Enjoy the vacation while it lasts partner. For now let's just try to make it through school.'

Looking at the room number on the back of my map, I finally found my classroom. Before even entering the room I could sense the presence of multiple devils. I won't be able to disguise my aura as that of a humans but at least I'll be able to tone it down so they can't sense any of my powers. Knocking on the door three times, I heard the teacher tell the class to excuse them for a second. Upon her opening the door I saw that she was a very buxom woman with brown eyes, pale skin, and long navy blue hair who was about 5"9. I knew how tall she was because she was the same height as me. She was wearing the normal teachers uniform with black heels and a gold necklace around her neck. She then gave me a quizzical look.

"And who might you be young man?"

"The names Nico Malaphar, I'm the new transfer student from Italy. It's a pleasure to meet you...?" I couldn't finish the sentence, hinting to the teacher for her name.

[Nico Malaphar?], the hissing voice said.

'I needed to think of a name to give...how many humans have you heard of with the first name Orael? And Malaphar is just one of the aliases my clan goes by when undercover.'

She gave me a small smile before introducing herself. "You can call me Kalawarner-sensei, and it's a pleasure to meet you too Malaphar-san." She said while gesturing for me to follow her into the classroom.

Upon entering the classroom I could already see the confused looks on the faces of all the students. I guess it's not too surprising, it's not every day a "foreigner" comes here as a transfer student. It was also interesting how I was the only guy in the entire class. I had heard that this school had only been co-ed for a short period of time, but I didn't think it would be like this. After reaching the front of the class, they all had their eyes on me. Oh yeah, I forgot that new students are supposed to give introductions for themselves in Japan...ugh.

"My names Nico Malaphar, a transfer student from Italy. I apologize for my tardiness, but I was sidetracked earlier in this labyrinth of a town. This is my first time in Japan so things are a bit different for me, please take care of me." I said before taking a small bow to the class. Some of the girls giggled while others looked like they wanted a longer introduction. Kalawarner-sensei had an impish smirk on her face while looking for a seat for me.

"Malaphar-san, why don't you take a seat over there next to Tsubaki-san." She said while pointing over to an open seat.

The girl who she directed me to had knee-length black hair with split bangs and heterochromatic eyes, her right was light brown while her left was violet. Her blue, square glasses just added to that super serious look she was giving off. It didn't take long before I could tell that she was a devil also. Sitting down in my seat, I was immediately swamped with questions from the others.

"Malaphar-san, why'd you come to Japan?"

"Malaphar-san, what's Italy like?"

"Are you interested in joining any clubs?"

"Why aren't you wearing the schools uniform?"

"You should eat with us at lunch Malaphar-san!"

Quickly trying to get the students attention back towards the front of the class, Kalawarner-sensei spoke up. "Everyone, you can bombard your new classmate with questions after class, so please pay attention to the lesson."

There was a collective groan from most of the students in the class as they turned back around to get back to the lesson. I gave sensei a relieved grin while mouthing the words "thank you" as she just smiled and started teaching again.

Class went on and I tried not to die of boredom. Most of the things she was teaching us were things I had already learned in the underworld in between experimentation of my sacred gear and training. I had noticed early on that my target I came here to look for wasn't in my class, so I figured zoning out and waiting until lunch to look for them would be fine. I did notice however that the two other devils that were in my class would occasionally look over at me. One of the two was the girl named Tsubaki who was right next to me while the other was a very buxom girl with a long, black pony tail with two antennae sticking out of the top of her hair and pointing backwards. She had violet eyes and a gentle smile on her face, seeming the exact opposite of this Tsubaki girl.

Finally after a few more minutes, the bell rang signaling lunch. Some of the students started to leave class while others asked me to go with them. I politely declined, knowing I had things to take care of already. Walking out of the class, I didn't make it too far before noticing Tsubaki and the other devil from earlier were not too far behind where I was. It was then that Tsubaki approached me.

"Nico Malaphar, Could I have a moment of your time?" She said in a monotone voice with a serious expression on her face. Sheesh, I sure hope not all of the devils here are like this.

I just looked back at her with a smile, "Depends on what you intend to use that moment for Tsubaki-san."

"I would like you to follow me to the student councils clubroom. My president is in charge of informing new transfer students about Kuoh Academy."

"Let's cut the act Tsubaki-san, we both know what we really are. And that really doesn't sound like the most appealing offer ever...how about if I go with you, you owe me something in return?" I replied in a hushed tone with a devilish smile on my face.

"And what would I owe you?" She said maintaining her serious attitude.

"If I go with you to meet your president, you have to go on a date with me."

The super serious look on her face disappeared into a look of confusion. Quickly composing herself, she replied. "And why would you want to go on a date with me Malaphar-san?"

"You know I wasn't joking before when I said I almost got lost earlier." I said while rubbing the back of my head, slightly embarrassed. "It'd be nice to have someone like me who's been around here longer show me around the place."

She still seemed to be slightly caught off guard by my question. It isn't that big of a deal, is it? A few seconds of silence passed by before she looked like she was finally about to respond, only to be cut off by someone else.

"Ara ara, it seems the new transfer student is the aggressive type." Said a girl who I realized was the other devil in my class from earlier.

" " " "Kyaaa! Akeno onee-sama, we love you!" " " " said a group of girls who were now watching the conversation between me, Tsubaki and the girl named Akeno. I guess she's really popular?

"Akeno-san, do you need something?" Tsubaki asked her with a slightly worried look on her face.

"Fufufufu, well I saw the new transfer student ask you out on a date and you were hesitant in replying. So why don't you go on a date with me, Nico-san? All you'd have to do is come with me to visit my clubs president first." Akeno said with a seductive look on her face while leaning closer to me. Oi, I don't care if your gorgeous, I have a personal bubble ya know!

"I-I was just taking a second to contemplate the idea...Malaphar-san, I will go on a date with you if you come to the student councils room with me." Tsubaki stated with a determined look on her face.

Okay, now I'm not entirely sure on what to do. We've already created a scene in the hallways and a lot of kids are watching us. They seem to be whispering that they think I'll go with Akeno who they've been calling one of the two great ladies of Kuoh. Choices, choices...

[Be a man, take them both!]

'Shut up, now's not the time for your "great advice"!'

"Well Nico-san, who's it going to be?" Akeno asked me while holding my arm now. Tsubaki seemed to want to ask me to come with her again, but a defeated look came onto her face. Ahhhh, I've always been a sucker for the serious but cute type...

"Sorry Akeno-san, but I'm going to go with Tsubaki-san."

" " " "Ehhhhh!? Nico and Tsubaki!" " " " A bunch of girls screamed out loud before running away to I can only guess spread gossip. Well so much for keeping a low profile on my first day.

"Ara ara, well I guess you've won this round Tsubaki-san. I must return to my club room now, and my offer still stands Nico-san. Please reconsider it for another time." She said as she started walking away with her gentle smile still on her face, but it was obvious she was slightly annoyed.

Tsubaki had a confused expression on her face while she watched Akeno leave. "Malaphar-san...why did you pick me? Not that I'm ungrateful for you choosing me instead, but why?"

I poked her forehead in a teasing manner. "Because I think you're cuter." That and she seemed like she'd be easier to tease.

Her face immediately turned a bit red with blush and her somber attitude all but disappeared. "Y-You think I'm cuter?"'

I couldn't help but laugh slightly at her change in attitude. "That's what I just said, isn't it?" I could've swore I saw a very small smile on her face before she turned away and switched back into super serious mode.

"Well then, please follow me to the student councils room Malaphar-san." She said as she started walking away.

Upon arriving, she knocked on the door a couple of times before asking permission to enter.

"You may enter Tsubaki." Is all I heard before she opened the door, leading me into a room with six girls, not including Tsubaki. One was sitting behind a desk on the far side of the room, while the other five were sitting on two sofas facing each other in the middle of the room. They all seemed to be eating their lunch besides the one sitting behind the desk, who I could only assume at the time was their club president. She had her black hair styled in a short bob cut and had violet eyes. She also was wearing red glasses, and gave off that same super serious aura as Tsubaki. Heh, I guess everyone in the student council is like that.

One of the presidents eyebrows rose and a questioning look came upon her face. "Tsubaki, who is this you brought here?"

"This here is Nico Malaphar, a new transfer student from Italy who just came here today." Their president gave an understanding look, already fully aware that I was a fellow devil from my aura I've been suppressing.

"I see...Nico Malaphar, I go under the alias Souna Shitori while at school but my true name is Sona Sitri, current heir to the Sitri clan and student council president of Kuoh Academy. The other girls in the room are my servants." Upon saying that, all of the girls showed their wings.

'So this is one of the siblings of the fake satans. President of the student council, eh? Fitting for someone in her position.'

[So are we going to kill her?], said the ominous hissing voice in my head.

'Oi...not everything is solved by killing you know. The main goal of the mission was just to locate and observe the host of Vritra. We're only supposed to take out anyone who interferes with that, and it'd be fun to get to know the enemy, don't you think?'

[Oh? That sounds uncharacteristic of you partner, normally you're the type to keep a distance from others while on a mission.]

'True, but even if this is a mission the whole reason I came here was to get a break from that life. Lets enjoy ourselves while we're here, that and some of the members of her peerage are pretty cute.'

[Heh...whatever you say. Just make sure we still get to train while on your vacation. Don't forget we have bigger problems to worry about.], The voice stated in a grim tone.

'Don't worry about that, I haven't forgotten our issue.'

Realizing that things had been silent for about a good minute, Tsubaki spoke up first starting the clubs introductions.

"Tsubaki Shinra, vice-president of the student council and Sona-samas queen." She stated before making her way to stand by Sona.

Next a tall girl with blue shoulder length hair and aqua colored eyes stood up. "Tsubasa Yura, member of the student council and Sona-samas rook."

Next, a girl with shoulder length reddish-brownish hair with swept bangs and brown eyes shot up looking very lively. "Tomoe Meguri, also a member of the student council and Sona-samas knight! Nice to meet you!"

I couldn't help but smile at her introduction. "Well well well, it looks like the student council actually has some life to it after all." Hearing this Tomoes face turned slightly red with embarrassment as she sat down with that energetic smile still on her face.

A girl with long white hair and blue-green eyes started giggling at her friends embarrassment before standing up as well. "Momo Hanakai, as you've probably already guessed I'm also a part of the student council, and Sona-samas bishop. Please take care of me Malaphar-san." She said before returning to her seat.

After her, a girl wearing a blue headband on her brown hair that had two braids on the sides of her face stood up, her honey brown eyes gave off a calm yet reserved feel. "Reya Kusaka, Also part of the student council and Sona-samas other bishop. Please take care of me."

Before she could sit down, the final girl in the room stood up. She was the smallest one in the room, probably a first year and had brown hair styled into twin ponytails with green eyes a little bit darker than my own. "Ruruko Nimura, the final member of the student council and Sona-samas pawn, worth one piece. Please take care of me Malaphar-san!" She said with an innocent looking smile on her face before sitting down along with Kusaka.

Now that everyone had finished their introductions, I let out a sigh. "Well it's nice to meet all of you. Sorry if I have trouble remembering all of your names, I'm not too good when it comes to remembering them." I said while rubbing the back of my head.

"Since you've all formally introduced yourselves though, I guess it's only right for me to do the same. I'll be going under the alias Nico Malaphar while attending Kuoh Academy, but my true name is Orael Valefor. Please take care of me while I'm here." I said before taking a slight bow and walking over to one of the couches to leisurely take a seat next to the girl named Tomoe.

Everyone in the room had a shocked look on their face. Not too surprising to me I guess considering that the Valefor clan was supposedly extinct...A minute of silence passed by before Sona started speaking.

"The Valefor clan has been considered extinct for twelve years now. I'd appreciate it if you left the jokes for some other time and told us who you really are." She stated looking slightly disgruntled.

"Now now Sona-san, it seems your knowledge of all the clans of the 72 pillars is lacking." I said with a teasing tone.

She now looked more interested then annoyed. "And why do you say that?"

I responded with a question. "Do you know the requirements for a clan to be considered extinct in the 72 pillars, Sona-san?"

"Yes, I do. A clan of the 72 pillars becomes considered extinct when every member of the clan is presumed dead, or when the main bloodline no longer remains pure." She said with a confident look on her face.

"Correct, but not completely."

"What do you mean by that?", Sona said as her eyes narrowed.

"A clan of the 72 pillars is considered extinct when every member is dead, the main bloodline is no longer pure, or when there is no heir to the throne from the main bloodline."

A moment of silence passed by before Sona spoke up again. "And what are you trying to say from this?"

"My father, the previous head of Valefor died when I was young. Instead of staying with my mother in the house of Valefor with our servants, I was taken to live with my uncle and the rest of my mother's small family. With no heir to the throne of Valefor, the clan was classified as extinct from the 72 original pillars."

Everyone in the room seemed to be following what I was saying with great interest, yet a sad disposition.

"Oh...I'm sorry for your loss Valefor-san. I apologize for having to ask, but how does that explain why I have never heard of you before now? Even if you were to live with your mothers family, I'm sure I have never heard of you as one of the current pure-blood youth devils of our generation."

"Please, just call me Orael. And my mother is from a small family that has never been too fond of the current government and nobles, so they distanced themselves from it all. It's only natural you haven't heard of me."

[A small family, eh? I was wondering how much of the truth you were really going to tell.]

'I'm still not exactly lying you know. My uncle and I are the last two descendents of the original Asmodeus, and I haven't seen my mother since leaving the house of Valefor...'

"I see. Then why have you come to Kuoh Academy?" Sona asked me.

"Business." I replied nonchalantly with a smile.

A small staring contest ensued between me and Sona that made everyone else in the room feel nervous. After another minute had passed, the silence was interrupted by the ringing of my cell phone. Noticing that it was from Zurui, It was probably important considering he knew I was still in school.

"Please excuse me for a moment." I said before answering my phone.

"What is it?"

"Sir, we have a big problem..." Zurui stated with what sounded like nervousness in his tone.

"What's going on?"

"I found the host of Vritra." He said solemnly.

"Why is that a problem?"

"He's being attacked as we speak."

"What?! Why aren't you doing anything!"

A moment passed by before he finally said why. "Because it's Björn who is attacking him."

[What the hell is the host of Níðhǫggr doing here? We were supposed to be the only pair stationed here and those headstrong bastards could jeopardize everything, especially if he kills Vritras host!]

"Where are you now?" I said without a moment of hesitation.

"I'm sending you coordinates through the phone as we speak."

"Then I'm on my way." I finished before hanging up with my phone still in hand. Everyone in the room had questioning looks on their faces.

"What was that all about Orael-san?"

"I apologize but I'll have to take my leave for now, something just came up that I have to attend to."

Sona looked slightly annoyed by my reply. "Aren't you forgetting that this is just a lunch break Orael-san? The school day is only half way over, and I still haven't addressed the issue of what you are currently wearing."

I couldn't help but chuckle at what Sona had said. "My bad Sona-san, but I'll have to ask you to cover for me for the rest of today. If you do I might just wear my uniform tomorrow." I said with a wink before dashing towards the door, following the coordinates to where that idiot decided to start problems for me. I'm not about to let anyone kill Vritras host and cut my vacation short!

"Oh, and Tsubaki-san! Sorry, but I guess our date will have to wait until another time!" I finished before leaving the room, seeing Tsubaki blush again slightly as Sonas servants started giggling at their vice presidents embarrassment.

"Valefor! Wait! ugh...he's already gone."

"What do you think of him Sona?" Tsubaki asked her master.

"I'm not quite sure. His story is interesting but it's obvious that there's things he's not telling us about him. The house of Valefor was always shrouded in secrecy, and for their supposed heir to pop up here of all places twelve years after being thought of as extinct is rare to say the least."

"What should we do about him then?"

"Take Tomoe and follow him while I contact Sirzechs Lucifer-sama, but make sure you are not seen. I'll cover for you two while you're gone, find out what made him leave in such a rush."

"Yes, Sona-sama. Let's go Tomoe." Tsubaki said to Tomoe as she made her way for the door.

"And I expect to know more about this supposed date you are going on with him when you come back Tsubaki."

"Y-Yes Sona..." Tsubaki said, eager to leave the room as soon as possible to avoid any further embarrassment.

"Yes! We won't let you down Sona-sama!" The energetic girl said before following after Tsubaki.

As the two left, Sona seemed to go deep into thought. "Orael Valefor...just who are you and why have you really come here." She muttered to herself before continuing working on the papers she had on her desk.
