Issei didn't really think too much of Kunou and her mother, They seemed like normal people in his mind, But he had no clue that something deep and ancient was stirring within him.

He felt like he was being watched constantly, It didn't seem right sometimes, But he never questioned it.

It's been a few days since the last time he was over at the shrine, He was going to go later.

He began to watch TV as he thought about what had happened in his dreams.

He had been having nightmares for a couple or more days, And it was the same nightmare.

He didn't know why it was happening to him.

And it was the same nightmare each damn time.

He had been dreaming that he was in a old London neighborhood with a dark creature, Every time he would get cornered by it, He would wake up drenched in sweat.

It wasn't the nightmare that annoyed him and bothered him, It was the fact it was the same one over and over again.

He knew it was wrong, That a normal person shouldn't have a reoccurring nightmare almost every damn day.

It only added more suspicion for him to think about.

But he was brought out of his thoughts as his foster mom called him.

"Honey aren't you going to Kunou's today?" Asked his foster mom with confusion.

"Ya I'm going to head out in a little bit." Spoke Issei.

"Ok then, You behave yourself over there." Spoke his foster mom.

"I will." Responded Issei.

He did behave himself when he was there.

But he thought there was more to it, But he didn't know what or why, But he didn't know it would all be explained to him soon enough.

He was already getting ready to go play with Kunou at the shrine, He was getting in the shower.

He was already out and sitting down at the counter eating his lunch before he would head out towards the shrine.

He didn't know what time it was when he left, But he felt off about 15 minutes into the walk to the shrine from his house.

He couldn't put his finger on it exactly.

But he knew something was wrong, There was no one around, Not a single sound heard from the area he was, It was like it was void of life, A single pin drop would be heard a block a way by all ears.

He felt like he was being watched, But it wasn't normal, No one was around him, He didn't see anyone as he did a full 360 spin, But the feeling stayed.

It felt like a thousand stares directed all at once from all around him, But it didn't feel menacing or scary.

It felt like they were observing him, Watching him closely as he moved, Almost like a big brother of sorts.

He didn't know why he felt this way, Be he knew it wasn't just him hallucinating or dreaming, He didn't know why or what it meant.

But the one thing he failed to notice was that the all the darkness and shadows around him looked like it was going towards him, Almost like it was reaching out.

{Scene Break} {Yasaka's Shrine}

Issei finds himself standing at the bottom of the steps that lead to the top where the shrine is.

"Ugh such a long walk up these steps, Good thing there's still some daylight left." Thought Issei as he started his trek up the stairs.

Soon before he knew it he was panting with his hands on his knees in front of the shrine doors, Trying to catch his breath.

Soon he was already knocking on the door waiting for someone to answer.

The door opened to reveal one of the servants of the shrine.

"Oh you must be Issei, Kunou talks about you quite the bit, She will be excited to see you, She is currently in her moms office." Spoke the lady at the door.

"Thanks ma'am." Responded Issei as he walked in.

He was already walking down the hallway and arrived in front of Yasaka's office.

So he knocked on the door like he usually did, Trying to be on his best behavior.

He heard a muffled reply telling him to come in.

So he opened the door to find Kunou running crazy around the room, While Yasaka was focused on paperwork.

They both didn't notice him until they heard a hard cough come from the door.

Kunou had a very happy and giddy expression on her face as she ran towards Issei.

"Ise-kunn!" Shouted Kunou as she buried her head in his chest.

"Kunou-chan, I'm happy to see you too." Responded Issei as he embraced her back.

Yasaka was smiling at this interaction between her daughter and Issei, But something else was on her mind about the unique boy.

Something she needed to figure out.

But she felt something off, She didn't know what was off with the boy.

But she could tell something was bothering him, She decided to ask him later.

Little did she know the meaning behind all the things that had transpired in the last few days held grave importance to it, And the fact that it would upset the balance between her world forever if light was shed on just who this little boy was and how powerful he could be in the future.

Unfortunately for her it would be revealed to all around them who he was and just how powerful he truly was, Even if she didn't expect it.

"Ise have you been getting a good amount of sleep?" Asked Kunou while looking at the bags under his eyes.

Yasaka perked at this statement.

Why wasn't he getting any sleep lately?

"Is it starting?" Thought Yasaka as she gazed intently at the source of her confusion.

"Ise-kun? Is something wrong? Why haven't you been getting any sleep?" Asked Yasaka walking over towards the two.

Call it a gut feeling once again, But Issei felt suspicion behind her words.

He didn't know why though like all the other unexplained things that happened recently.

So he decided to just answer normally than rather question her.

"I been have an reoccurring string of nightmares lately." Spoke Issei as he sighed with sadness.

This only pushed Yasaka to wonder even more of the meaning behind it, While Kunou oblivious to her mothers thoughts on the matter proceeded to bear hug Issei with tears flowing out of her eyes.,

"That definitely could be a sign of it, I think i should have him stay the night a few times to see how it plays out, If he is awakening his sacred gear it could shed some light on just what he is, I haven't felt an aura more foreboding than this one for sure." Thought Yasaka as she came up with a plan.

"Issei why don't you stay the night tonight? It's already getting dark outside, I'll call your parents and tell them your staying here for the night." Spoke Yasaka.

Kunou broke into a happy but worrisome expression.

"Ok then, That's fine, But where will i sleep?" Asked Issei.

"In my room." Spoke Kunou.

"That's fine you kids, Go have fun, I'll call your parents now Issei don't worry about it." Spoke Yasaka as she went back to her desk.

So the two of them went walking hand in hand throughout the halls to her room.

So the two of them arrived in Kunou room, They both sat on the bed and turned on the TV, Kunou was worried for Issei, Since it seemed like he had a far off look in his eyes as the two watched the TV, Their was also the fact of his nightmares, She wanted to ask about them, But she didn't want to be rude or inconsiderate, So she just asked normally.

"Ise-kun?" Spoke Kunou snapping Issei out of his trance.

"Yes Kunou-chan?" Responded Issei.

"Do you mind telling me what your nightmares are about?" Asked Kunou.

Now this shocked Issei, For a couple of reasons actually.

He did want to tell her, But he had a feeling that if he told anyone they would think he was crazy, He didn't want to be anymore of an outcast than he was already.

"Sure i guess." Sighed Issei with his eyes closed.

Kunou's only response was embracing him quickly trying to comfort him into telling him so it would be easy for him.

"It always starts off in a medieval setting, Its the same thing every few nights the past week, I'm getting chased by some sort of creature, I can't tell what it is due to it being completely covered in darkness, I don't know why either, Every time it corners me in a dead alley it moves to strike me, That's when i wake up covered in sweat." Explained Issei about his to Kunou who was listening intently.

This only made Kunou tackle into him into the ground in a rib crunching hug, While she let her tears fall he silents embraced her back telling her he was fine now.

But she knew better.

"Why don't you lay down and try to get some sleep Ise? I will be right here the whole night if you need me." Spoke Kunou.

After a few moments of him thinking about it he reluctantly agreed to her request.

And he did lay down, But he didn't realize what he had just done.

Fate was already weaving the strings of his life to the way it needed.

He would realize it all sooner than he thought.

He was laying down for about 15 minutes before Kunou silently left to talk to her mother about what Issei told her about his nightmares, She had a bad feeling and for good reason, She knew since the first time she met him he wasn't totally human and her mother agreed with her.

She was walking down the hallway towards her mothers office, She arrived at the door and opened it to see her mother working on some paperwork most likely for their faction.

Kunou walked up to her mother after opening the door, Gaining her undivided attention she began to speak about what she needed.

"Mother I think you should know about Issei's nightmares, He told me, And it doesn't seem right." Spoke Kunou.

Yasaka widened her eyes at this statement, What about a nightmare wasn't right?

"Ok then close the door and tell me what he said to you." Responded Yasaka.

{Scene Break} {Issei's Subconscious}

Issei didn't know what to think of his current situation.

Not one thought occurred to him.

He was dreaming he was sure of it, But it was too vivid.

Almost surreal.

All he could see was an pitch black void stretching out as far as his eyes could see.

He still didn't know how or why.

But he would soon find out indeed.

He couldn't see where he was going, He couldn't even see his hand in front of his face.

But he kept on walking.

It seemed like he was walking on for about 30 minutes, He still didn't understand it at all.

While he was trying to come up with a reasonable explanation to as why his dream was so surreal and vivid to him, Something brought him out of his thoughts to answer just that for him.

[So you are my host huh?] Spoke a voice that radiated a insanely vast amount of power in every direction.

Issei frantically whipped his head around trying to fin d the owner of the voice.

But nothing still darkness.

"What the..." Thought Issei.

[You aren't imagining things, Issei Hyoudou.] Spoke the voice again while chuckling.

Issei's eyes widened like saucers in a mere second after hearing the voice once again.

"This can't be real, Just a dream, That's right a dream." Thought Issei trying to calm down himself.

[While this is kinda a dream, Although I assure you i am very much real.] Spoke the voice again.

"Show yourself!" Shouted Issei.

[Are you sure about that?] Chuckled the voice.

"Yes." Responded Issei.

[Very well, You have some balls boy, Not that many people who know of my identity wouldn't dare want to see my full form.] Spoke the voice again.

Issei gulped at this.

Then all of a sudden the pitch black void he was in turned a violent shade of purple mixed with a mild blue.

But that wasn't what shocked him.

No not at all.

It was the dragon that was towering above him, It was easily 60 times his size, With eyes that held a gaze that would scare anyone into submission it stared down at Issei, It didn't make any movements, It stared at him for what seemed an eternity like it was evaluating him.

"A-a-a dragon." Stuttered Issei in awe of the creature before him.

[You don't seem afraid of me hmm.] Spoke the dragon.

"Not really." Responded Issei.

[Why's that?] Asked the dragon baring his teeth for him to see.

"I don't really know why, You said it yourself that this is a like a dream, But i also have this feeling of similarity to you somehow." Explained Issei.

The dragon didn't respond just yet, It looked on at Issei in confusion, Before its eyes widened.

[Interesting, What are the chances...] Muttered the dragon as it looked at Issei.

"What do you mean?" Asked Issei confused.

[Question boy, What your parents like?] Asked the dragon.

"Umm, There nice people, But they aren't my real ones, I don't know my true parents, I'm adopted." Responded Issei.

The dragon's eyes widened fast, Then it narrowed as fast as well, Almost as if it realized something.

[Listen boy and listen well, You better get comfy, This will take a while to explain.] Spoke the dragon.

Issei only nodded his head before sitting down.

[I will be blunt with you boy, Listen well, I will not repeat anything i say beyond this point, We frankly don't have the time.] Spoke the dragon.

Issei only nodded again wondering just what he got himself into.

[Issei Hyoudou you are not human.] Spoke the dragon.

"What do you mean?" Asked Issei who was shocked once again.

[Think of the world you live in as a coin, On one side you have the human world, On the other is the supernatural side, Both exist at the same time, But barely anyone from the human side knows of the supernatural.] Spoke the dragon.

"So myths and gods and stuff like that?" Asked Issei.

[Yes, You have a variety of creatures and gods that roam the world, Some are insanely powerful, Then you have factions, There are a multitude of factions that coexist with each other, The most known are the 3 Factions, Devils Angels And Fallen Angels, Then you have other factions that deal with them, Such as they Youkai, As you are currently resting in the capital of the Youkai faction, Yasaka is there leader the nine tailed fox.] Spoke the dragon.

Issei's eyes widened again after that statement.

"What about dragons?" Asked Issei.

The dragon only closed its eyes and huffed.

[Dragons are a special case.] Spoke the dragon.

"What do you mean?" Asked Issei.

[In mostly ever culture there is, Whether its Fallen Angels, Devils, Angels or the rest of the supernatural world, Dragons have always been respected and feared for their power, Power that can lay waste to the biggest cities, Due to this insane amount of power, Most of our existence is loathed by some people, Dragons are rare nowadays, Most of the were sealed into sacred gears like Ddraig and Albion the heavenly dragons.] Explained the dragon.

"Sacred gears?" Asked Issei confused.

[A sacred gear is a weapon that is given to humans by god, Some sacred gears are vastly powerful such as yours.] Explained the dragon.

"God gave me my sacred gear?" Muttered Issei in awe.

[Their are some beings who can seal themselves in a gear, I was bored.] Chuckled the dragon.

"So who are you?" Asked Issei.

[My name huh? Are you sure? Once you know who i am and who you really are there is no going back.] Spoke the dragon.

"There was no going back the moment i entered this dream like state." Responded Issei with a scoff.

[HA! I like you boy, You got some guts, Very well.] Spoke the dragon.

Issei just stood their waiting.

[I am Erebus the Primordial Dragon Of the Darkness, The primal darkness that is in you.] Spoke Erebus.

"Dragon of the Darkness." Muttered Issei in awe.

[Yes I am the dragon of darkness, But enough about me, Let's focus on you now.] Spoke Erebus.

"What about me?" Asked Issei confused.

[A lot actually, For starters about just who you really are.] Spoke Erebus.

"Who am I?" Asked Issei confused.

[There are some parts i cannot explain about you, I'll start off with just what you really are.] Spoke Erebus.

"Ok." Spoke Issei wanting him to continue.

[You have what are called Primordial Traits or Gifts.] Explained Erebus.

"Primordial Gifts?" Asked Issei confused.

[Primordials are beings that get their power from a single source, That source is usually a physical manifestation of their power, Their are tons of Primordial beings that are known throughout the supernatural world, Examples are Life, Death, Space, Time, Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, Darkness, Light, Chaos, Balance. These beings are vastly powerful, But these beings are ancient, Some don't even pop up in public anymore, They are just left to their own devices, Primordial Gifts are abilities that are inherited from a parent, Whoever your true parents are they had connections to a Primordial, And such you gained them by being their offspring, You are very powerful, You have quite the arsenal of abilities to use to decimate your enemies.] Explained Erebus.

"Huh? So your a primordial of darkness huh?" Asked Issei.

[I am the Primordial of Darkness.] Spoke Erebus.

"So what can i do?" Asked Issei.

[Despite your Primordial Gifts, You have a inherited the Will Of The Shadows.] Explained Erebus.

"Will Of The Shadows?" Asked Issei confused.

[The Will Of The Shadows is in your blood, You feel it right? You said it yourself you feel a similarity to me, That's because you control the shadows, You can make them bend to your will, That is a very powerful ability that you gained from your bloodline.] Spoke Erebus.

Issei's eyes widened as remembered his nightmares and the feeling he got at nighttime.

"The nightmares then." Muttered Issei while thinking.

[Ah the nightmares, Yes i can see through your memories, They were a sign of your awakening into the supernatural world, They shouldn't happen anymore sense I'm now fully awake, And like you thought at nighttime you have a magnetic pull to the darkness yes?] Explained Erebus.

"Ya, When i was walking to the shrine at night, I felt like i was being watched but it was massive but at the same time not threatening." Spoke Issei.

[The shadows realize who you are, They are bound to your will, If you can master all your abilities you can be insanely powerful, Most likely top 5 most powerful beings in existence.] Spoke Erebus.

"What about the sacred gear?" Asked Issei.

[The sacred gear Absolute Darkness is the one you have, It boosts your power and abilities by erasing any trace of light near you and replacing it with darkness, Effectively boosting your strength.] Explained Erebus.

"So pretty much a combo type?" Asked Issei.

[Yes fitting for you it is a terrifying combo against the unlucky.] Spoke Erebus.

"What about these Primordial Gifts i have?" Asked Issei.

[You have 5 Primordial Gifts.] Explained Erebus.

"Wow what are they?" Asked Issei.

[In time you will learn how to use them, But first you need to get stronger, I will help you along the way, It is time to wake up now.] Spoke Erebus.

Before Issei could tell what was going on, He felt light headed and dizzy.

He was blinking a few times trying to clear it up.

Then he realized something he was awake and staring at the ceiling fan.

He was staring at the ceiling for so long trying to process everything he failed to notice someone besides him, Specifically Kunou was using him as a body pillow.

"Ughhhh, What the..." Thought Issei as he looked down to see two hand encircle his waist.

He quickly blushed up a storm as he saw Kunou sleeping peacefully while hugging him.

Soon he was able to wiggle himself out of her grasp, And he stood up and stretched.

That's when he remember his dream.

"It wasn't real was it? No no it couldn't..." Thought Issei trying to find a valid reason.

[It was real and everything i told you was true, You are not human Issei Hyoudou.] Spoke Erebus in his head.

"So it's all real..." Thought Issei awestruck.

"So what now?" Asked Issei.

[You need to talk to Yasaka, But i warn you, With being who you are, People will try to decieve you for their own personal gain, Your presence is like a beacon for all who are near you to see, You need to be trained so you can defend yourself when the need arises, I will tell you want to say to Yasaka, It's best that way so we can get what we need without being tricked, She is a tricky woman, She most likely wants you on her side sense she found you first.] Spoke Erebus.

"Ok then." Responded Issei.

So he walked down the hallways towards Yasaka's office.

He arrived at the door and was ready to knock.

"What do i ask her when I'm in there?" Asked Issei.

[Ask her how to summon your sacred gear, Then i will talk to her after.] Explained Erebus.

"Okay." Responded Issei.

After a few knocks the door was opened by Yasaka, She looked confused as to why Issei would come to her office this early in the morning, She didn't know exactly what he wanted to talk about, So she just ushered him in the room and closed the door behind him.

"So Issei-kun what can i do for you?" Asked Yasaka wondering what he needed.

"How do i summon my sacred gear?" Asked Issei.

That was unexpected, She clearly didn't expect that question.

"Pardon?" Responded Yasaka.

"How do i summon my sacred gear?" Asked Issei once again.

Her eyes widened.

"How does he know?" Thought Yasaka.

"Where did you hear that?" Asked Yasaka carefully and cautious.

"The being in my subconscious told me of the supernatural world." Spoke Issei.

She then took a sigh with a breath of relief.

"Ok then, To summon your sacred gear, Imagine the strongest thing you can think of and focus it to the place that feels right to you." Explained Yasaka.

"Let's see what happens." Thought Yasaka as she waited.

So Issei thought about it for a minute, He had his eyes closed slowing his breathing trying to focus, When all of a sudden he felt a sharp pain in his shoulders.

He heard Yasaka gasp, Which caused him to open his eyes and see what startled her.

The room was suddenly darkened by a lot the candles in the room were instantly blown out.

"What a powerful sacred gear..." Muttered Yasaka.

Issei walked over to the mirror to see what it looked like.

Once he saw it he was amazed.

Starting from his shoulders downwards to his hands were covered in a pitch black armor with Onyx gems on top of both his hands.

[Good job kid, This is it.] Spoke Erebus out loud startling Yasaka even more.

"Who are you?" Asked Yasaka.

[Leader of the Youkai Yasaka, My name is Erebus, I'm sure you know who i am.] Spoke Erebus.

Yasaka paled faster than she knew she almost wanted to throw up.

"A-A-Absolute Darkness." Muttered Yasaka.

[Indeed it is.] Spoke Erebus.

"That would explain his aura, It seemed to grow now that you have awakened in him, Hmmm." Spoke Yasaka.

[While that is true, Their is more to this boy than you think, He has inherited quite the arsenal of abilities.] Explained Erebus.

"What abilities?" Asked Yasaka.

[Currently I have found 5 Primordial Gifts, And he has inherited the Will Of The Shadows.] Spoke Erebus.

Yasaka eyes widened to saucers, She knew about Primordial Gifts, Any faction leader knew of the Ancient beings that held vast amounts of power.

"What Gifts?" Asked Yasaka.

[Tempest, Void, Moon, Frost, Shadows.] Explained Erebus.

"Your kidding." Muttered Yasaka.

"What does all that mean?" Asked Issei confused.

[It means you have these 5 gifts, They are usually manifested in a physical way, Though some can be mental, These particular gifts are among the strongest to be known about, And to wield 5 at the same time just adds more power.] Explained Erebus.

"The shadow gift? I thought he had control of them, Not a gift?" Asked Yasaka confused.

[It seems he has both.] Responded Erebus.

Yasaka was silent.

[You must see the situation now, He needs to be trained, If trained right he could be unstoppable to anyone foolish enough to get in the way of his path, But if this power was to fall into the wrong hands it would be catastrophic.] Spoke Erebus.

"Your right, I will personally over watch his training so he can master his abilities." Spoke Yasaka.

[Issei you will need to learn how to master your new found abilities, You will attract powerful people, Power attracts power.] Explained Erebus.

"Issei he is right, For now go back to sleep and we will pick this up later, I have stuff i need to do and i need time to think this through." Spoke Yasaka.

"Very well." Responded Issei.

So Issei walked back towards Kunou and snuggled back up against her while thinking to himself about his new life he had gotten handed to him.
