I sincerely thank all of you for your feedback and support.

Special Thanks to Lily Nadesico, and Storm Wolf77415 for doing punch up and beta reading of this project. Check out their fics, they're awesome.


"Mom, please, You can't die." Little Lucy pleeded as she hugged her mother closely while she lay in bed, her health having deteriorated to the point she was unable to walk unaided. It was clear she was taking a turn for the worse, and no magic or medicine was helping.

"Don't cry for me, dear." Layla said kissing her daughter's cheek. "My body may die, but my soul will go to a much better place. I promise I will watch over and protect you, no matter what."

Lucy said nothing just holding her mother, face pressed against her bossom as she wept in silence.

(Morning, Gremory Residence.)

Lucy woke up slowly as she was alone in her bed. It was a dream, and yet it was more than that. It was a memory, one of the last times she spoke with her mother before she passed away. "Mom... What would you say if you could see me now? Stuck in another world as a Devil. Would you still love me? Would I still be your daughter?" She asked herself as Akeno came in toweling off her let-down hair.

"Hey, I got a call from Rias. Get showered, and I'll lay a spare uniform out for you. You're coming to school with us?"

"School?" Lucy asked. "But I'm not a child."

"Really?" Akeno asked with an inquisitive look. "How old are you?"

"Seventeen." She said matter of factly. "I turn Eighteen in July."

"Well then you are a second or third year student then." Akeno said. "I hate to break it to you, but in our world, we stay in school until we are adults."

Lucy sighed, she knew there was little talking her way out of this. "Okay, not like I have a choice. I'll go get ready."

"Good, I promise you'll have a lot of fun." Akeno said beaming as Lucy got up and, padded to the bathroom.


Lucy was definitely not having fun. Granted they hadn't arrived inside the building yet, but Lucy was already not in a good mood. Not on account of the company. Akeno was definitely a pleasant person to be around, and Lucy deeply preferred her to the rest of her new master's company. It was that damned uniform she was forced to wear.

The long sleeved blouse was okay enough, as was the short pleated skirt, but the corset was ungodly restrictive on her torso almost inhibiting her ability to breathe. The shoes were butt ugly (if easier to walk in than her normal assortment of heeled boots, and sandals.) But without a doubt the worst part was.

"AGGGGHHH Dammit! These things are unbearable!" Lucy cried slipping out of one shoe and scratching all over her socked foot. "Why do they always have to itch so much!"

Lucy hated wearing socks. Ever since she was little they made her feet itch terribly. No matter what brand they bought, no matter what fabric they used, the cloth foot cover always drove her absolutely crazy. Her mother would tell her stories about when she was a baby they would put socks on her, and she would cry and kick like she was on fire until they were taken off. As Lucy got older she grew to tolerate stockings. The thin soft materials of silk and nylon provided far less irritation, and when it did it was distributed across the entire leg, but normal socks, no matter how long or short, how loose or tight, how soft or course, were like wrapping her feet in poison ivy.

"Wow, you must be really sensitive." Akeno said. "Well you'll just have to deal with it for the day. Once we get to the club after school, you can take them off."

Lucy moaned in displeasure. This was going to be absolute torture. If one paid close attention they could see Akeno crack a small smile at her discomfort.


"Okay class, we have a new transfer student today." The teacher said. "Go ahead Miss, introduce yourself." He said to the blonde who was trying to appear confident while awkwardly grinding her feet against the floor as if trying to stomp out a fire.

"Hello, I'm Lucy Heartfilia." She began as she thought back to the conversation Akeno gave her about her cover story.

(Flashback about 10 minutes beforehand)

"Okay, listen, your classmates will have a lot of questions about where you are from. Since we can't tell them you're from another world, we need you to be from someplace where you can pass for their nationality, while at the same time passing off things like your last name, and how you talk." Akeno began as they stopped by the entrance to the building.

"What's wrong with how I talk?" Lucy asked a bit offended.

"Nothing, but your Fiorian accent isn't exactly passable for American, or British." She said. "If anyone asks. Say you are from New Zealand." Akeno said as she snapped her fingers in a eureka moment.

"New Zealand?" Lucy asked cocking her head cutely.

"It's a country that's a pair of Islands east of Australia." Akeno said.

"But what if they ask me questions about the place? I've never been there." Lucy tried to reason.

"And don't expect to ever go there anytime soon." Akeno said. "The Gremory Family are not allowed there." Sensing Lucy's confusion she added. "There was... some unpleasantness, we can't go back."

"I see." Lucy said, left with more questions than answers.

"Just make some stuff up, if you have to. If anyone inquires too much, Madame President can just alter their memories." She reassured.

(End Flashback)

Lucy sighed. "And I'm from New Zealand."

"Oh man! She's a total exotic hottie from down under!" a male darker skinned bald student cheered.

"Bust eighty-eight, waist fifty-four, hips eighty-four." Another male student with glasses said analyzing her like she was a set of stats in a book. "A total package of Grade-A T&A."

"Wow, she's amazing. That body, that face. I wanna see her out of that uniform so bad." a brown haired student with a short ponytail said drooling with a small nosebleed.

Lucy sighed as she took her seat. "Do they have to say all that out loud? Great, I get stuck in a classroom with the shameless perverts." She thought trying to focus on what she was supposed to do as a student, and at least act like she knew what to do. "At least I'll probably never have to deal with any of them outside this classroom."

(Hours later)

To Lucy's credit. The schoolwork and subjects were much easier than she thought. Granted the damn itchy socks were still tormenting her mind, and she was utterly clueless in History or Geography, but English, and Math were a breeze for her. "Guess all of those tutors Dad hired weren't wasted after all." She said as she breezed though her work only to be distracted by a series of girls' screams as Kiba walked in.

"Heartfilia Lucy, Hyodou Issei, please come with me."

"Huh, Issei?" Lucy asked looking around.

"Oh, uh sure." The ponytailed pervert said getting up making Lucy's eyes widen.

"GODAMMIT-OW!"


(Outside the Occult Research Club.)

"You should know that as a Devil you are not allowed to invoke the name of God like that." Kiba said as they approached the door. "Even in vain. It will still cause you pain."

"Wait... you're a devil too?" Issei asked shocked a bit.

Lucy said turned her nose trying to ignore him. "Well, thanks for not telling me until I actually did it." She huffed.

"Well, Madame President can explain it in better detail once we are inside." Kiba said opening the door.

"Finally!" Lucy cried in relief kicking off her shoes, and peeling off her socks as soon as she was past the door.

"Ummm, Ms. Heartfilia, this isn't a house, you don't have to take off-"

"I have to." Lucy cried in relief rubbing her bare feet on the carpet to get the last of the itching out. "I can't stand wearing socks, they make my poor feet itch so bad. I thought I was gonna have blisters all over from scratching so much." She said.

"I see, well if it hurts you that much I'm sure no one else will mind." Kiba said leading them into the club office. Koneko was sitting enjoying her snacks, and Akeno was waiting by a door with a towel while a shower was going on.

"Whoa, Koneko Tohjou, the school mascot... Akeno Himejima, you're in this club too?" Issei asked.

"Yep, hey Lucy, how was school?" Akeno asked with a warm smile.

"My classroom is full of perverts, I have no idea what half the subjects are, and my feet are killing me from wearing those damn socks." Lucy bemoaned as she sat down next to Koneko.

"Well, Rias, will be here soon. She's in the shower." Akeno said.

"You guys have a shower here, so behind that door, she's..." Issei drooled and bled at the nose again. "This is the best club ever!"

Lucy sighed in annoyance at Issei's antics. "Why do I have to share space with this creep?" Lucy asked.

"Because Issei may not look like it, but he is very special." Rias said emerging from the shower room taking the towel from Akeno to dry her hair. "As are you of course. As are all of us." She said taking a seat at her desk.

Akeno came up to Lucy. "How are your feet feeling?"

Lucy just sighed. "Still a bit of a burning sensation from all the scratching."

"I see, allow me to help you just this once." She said pulling out a bottle of ointment and lifting Lucy's feet in her lap as she made Koneko move to another seat while she squirted the clear cream on her soles and the tops of her feet and using her fingers to spread the lotion over her skin in a massage.

Lucy blushed and shivered. No one touched her like this, male or female, not this intimately anyway. "Awww, you like this, you're so cute when you blush." Akeno said making Lucy blush even harder.

Meanwhile Issei was eagerly watching the sight drooling again. Such intimate contact and teasing between two smoking hotties. If only they would start massaging each other's ti-

"Issei!" Rias barked a bit making him shoot his gaze back at her. "Eyes off the softcore girl x girl bonding and ears on me!"

"Sorry!" Issei yelped.

"My apologies, Madame President." Akeno said.

"It's not like that!" Lucy cried in embarassment.

"Oh, Lucy, you wound me so." Akeno said feigning feeling faint. "I thought we had something special. I mean we shared a bed together last night."

*THUD!* Issei fainted.


"You really shouldn't tease me like that." Lucy muttered shyly. "Especially in front of a pervert like him."

Akeno just smiled and hugged her close. "I can't help it my dear Lucy, you two are just so much fun." She said as Lucy blushed and pushed herself away.

"Okay, and that's about it." Rias finished with the lecture that started as soon as Issei regained consciousness. "You two are now my servants. Do well enough though, and you can be promoted to High Class Devils which will allow you to have Servants of your own."

"Wait, can my servants be all women?" Issei asked suddenly very hopeful.

"Of course." Rias answered.

"And they have to do anything I want?" He asked eagerly.

"They certainly do." She said with a smile.

"Awesome! I'm gonna work hard and finally become harem king!" Issei cheered.

"More like king of the sex offenders." Lucy scoffed.

"Human, or Devil, he's still just a big pervert." Koneko snarked.

"Personally I could care less about Devils, and Peerages, and all that stuff." Lucy said standing up. "The only thing I truly want is to return to my world, and see my friends again. If you can guarantee that, Rias Gremory, I will swallow my pride, and follow your orders to the best of my ability."

"Wait, return to your world? So you're not from New Zealand? Are you like an alien? Oh man, my classmate is a sexy alien space babe!" Issei said drooling away.

"I assure you, Lucy is not from Outer Space, Issei. Whether she tells you the full story or not, is a choice I leave to her." Rias said.

"I'm not telling this future inmate anything about me." Lucy declared, pointing at Issei defiantly.

"Do you have to imply I'm going to prison someday?" Issei asked now quite annoyed.

"Yes she does. Because you are a pervert." Koneko said making the brunette slump over dejected.


"Madame President. I'm finished handing out the flyers already." Lucy said, coming back in. Her new 3-inch chocolate brown pumps softly guiding her across the floor to Rias' desk.

"Already? That was fast." Rias said. "How are the new shoes working for you?"

"Well I had some help." Lucy said holding up Virgo, and Loke's keys. "I feel like my magic has gotten stronger since I became a devil, I can open two gates at once now. Also... yes, thank you. I'm much more used to wearing these instead of those ugly loafers."

"Well, be grateful I was able to pull some strings to make you an exception to the uniform policy." She said. "Remember this applies only to wearing pumps of either black or brown color, no boots, or sandals allowed when you are at school."

"Yes mother." Lucy said testing the waters to see how her master would tolerate backtalk.

If Rias was annoyed by those words, she hid it well. "Okay then. I think that's enough for the day. Get some rest, and tomorrow we might get you started on fulfilling some contracts."

"Okay." Lucy said pausing. "Ummm, so do I go back to your-"

"Oh goodness no. I mean... Well I can give you two options." She said. "You can live with Issei, or with Ake-"

"AKENO!" Lucy shouted before pausing awkwardly. "I mean, better her than some pervert right?"

"Why Lucy-chan. I had no idea you thought so highly of me." Akeno said appearing behind Lucy making the blonde jump and blush.

"Then it's settled, you two are free to go." Rias said.


"Come on in, and make yourself at home." Akeno said arriving in the small Japanese style house discarding her shoes at the door as Lucy followed suit. "Your room is over there, bathroom is there, and the kitchen is over there. I'm gonna make a small snack, want anything?"

"Sure." Lucy said sitting down, and summoning Virgo.

"Punishment?" She asked emotionlessly perking up Akeno's interest.

"My my Lucy, I had no idea you were so kinky! Maybe we were made for each other after all." Akeno swooned.

"What? No! It's not like that I swear." Lucy said waving her arms. "Virgo is the one who's into that and is always asking, but I say no!" She cried.

"Oh, well if you don't want to satisfy your spirit... Maybe I could take her off your hands. Just for awhile."

"Moving on!" Lucy cried throwing a pillow at Akeno's face (That she easily caught.) "Virgo, can you bring me a magic nail applicator, sugar pink in color?"

"As you wish Hime." She said vanishing, only to reappear seconds later with what looked like a regular nail polish applicator.

"Thanks." Lucy said taking it as she unscrewed the cap. "My old nail polish was ruined when... You know." She said touching the brush gently to each fingernail. In an instant the nail was coated in a magically conjured goat of shiny bright pink paint.

"Interesting. Your world's magic is so fascinating to observe." Akeno said as Lucy finished up her hands and bent down.

"Yep, dries instantly too, not to mention it's even edible and flavored if..." She stopped right there as she then applied the magic brush to her toenails one by one. "Ummm, well forget I said that."

"Oh really?" Akeno said taking one of Lucy's fingers in her mouth. "Hmmm, cotton candy. Good choice."

"Akeno!" Lucy cried pulling her hand away. "You could at least ask before doing that."

"Sorry, just having fun with my new roommate." She said pulling away. "Now how about we finish dinner, then go to bed?" She said. "You'll need all the rest you can get if you want to fill out your first contract."

"Alright." Lucy said as she moved to help her cook in any way she could.


(Back to Kouh Academy)

The next day at school went a bit more normal than the last. Lucy was able to socialize with some of her classmates, and did a bit better in her subjects. Issei got read the riot act by his two fellow perverts for getting close to all the hotties on campus. School eventually got out, and she headed to the club.

"Ah, Lucy, Issei. I have some good news. You two finally have a chance to go make your first contracts." Rias said smiling. "I got a call from one just now that I'm sending Lucy on, and Koneko has a client she can't meet tonight. So Issei you are going to meet him."

"Got it." Lucy said hopping over to the magic circle. "Okay. Let's go see this guy, and provide all the devilish help he needs." She said pumping her fist as she vanished in a flash.

Only to be confronted by a crying big hairy man in a pink girlish outfit. "Are you the Devil they sent? Please! You have to help me. Make me a magical girl!" He begged.

Lucy sweatdropped as she looked around at all the anime and manga of various magical girl shows. "Is every client gonna be like this?" She thought. "Ummm... Well let me see what I can do here... Well I don't think I can transform you into a girl totally... But maybe I can do some other stuff." She said grabbing Cancer and Virgo's keys - still amazed that she was able to summon them without verbal command as they appeared in a flash. "Hey guys... I'm sorry to ask this, but... Cancer... Can you give this guy, a haircut and shave to make him look more feminine, and Virgo could you do the same to his clothes, to make him look like a magical girl? Oh, and Virgo do you have any items to spare in the spirit world that might be able to simulate magic powers in this one?"

"Can do, ebi." The dark skinned man with scissors, and crab claws in his back said as he went to work on the man.

"Of course Hime, would you like to punish me afterwards?" The maid asked.

"Thanks, and no Virgo." Lucy said sighing as Virgo vanished before she turned to the man in crisis. "Don't worry Mister. I'm here to help you to the best of my abilities." She declared.

Hours later the man looked a lot more presentable in his costume. Amazing how a change in hairstyle, a good shave, and a better cut wardrobe can change one's image. Well not really, but it seemed to help his mood a lot.

"Here." Virgo said handing him that looked like a flower shaped wand. "Press that button, and you will shoot out water like a garden hose. The harder you hold it down, the stronger the flow. Use it to spray your enemies in the face." She said making Lucy nearly facefault.

"Did she have to word it like that?" She wondered.

"Oh thank you so much. I just knew there was hope after all!" He cheered. "Here, take these authentic high quality Sailor V, and Sailor Venus replica costumes I won in an online action. They should be just in your size if you ever want to wear them. I think you would look just stellar in them." He cheered handing her the bags with the two costumes along with some cash.

"You're welcome, if you need anymore help, don't hesitate to call on us again." She said waving as she left the place. "Such a nice guy. A little off, but not too bad." She mused genuinely smiling for the first time since she ended up in this crazy world. For a moment, a brief moment, this world felt just like home.

She was startled by the sound of rustling wings as she saw a black winged humanoid fly off in the distance. "A fallen angel? I wonder what that was about." She said heading back to the club.


(The next morning.)

"I can't believe Akeno expected me to remember how to get to school on my own." Lucy groaned as she walked aimlessly through the streets. She was rounding the corner when she came across Issei, and... a blonde nun who looked about their age. On one hand. She wanted to call out the pervert for making the moves on this sweet innocent girl, but on the other hand...

"Issei, hey..." Lucy said a bit nervously. "I'm lost, can you help me find my way to school?"

"Sure thing Lucy, I just want to show Asia here how to get to the Church first. Wanna come too?"

"Sure thing, I don't have many other options." Lucy said as a feeling of dread washed over her. This could not end well.

(End of Chapter 2)


Sorry for the lack of action in this chapter everyone. The anime did not give me a lot to work with here. I hope the character development and humor made up for it. Also you may have noticed a few references and easter eggs if you know some trivia. I'm working at trying to establish some running gags, as well as a few plot points for the future. Thank you all for supporting me in this project, and I hope to get the next chapter out to you soon.

Just to clarify this will not be a Lucy x Harem fic. At best I might add one additional girl to Lucy and Akeno's relationship, but who and when will remain a secret for now. Issei will retain his harem as in canon minus Akeno, and possibly the mystery girl.
