-7 years later-
A boy with short black hair, cut like a military haircut, was walking up towards the middle school, Suparuta no Academy. He wore a very old looking shirt and pants. The shirt was grey with many stains on it, ones a washing machine couldn't get out. It was caked on dirt, grease, blood and a ton of other different types of dirt. His pants was brown with the same stains all over. He had two white socks, clean for some reason and two old sneakers. He was a child who was very poor and he looked the part.
He entered the school gates only to be pushed to the ground.
"Out of the way Gay-no"
About five kids walked over Kano, kicking him in the gut or chest as they walked by. Kano curled up into a ball, a tear threatening to break free. He dealt with this in elementary, now he has to deal with the bullies in middle school. Never learning how to defend himself, he made his way through school with ridicule, beatings and just being tortured. The teachers never could do anything as the students couldn't get caught. Kano couldn't even defend himself at school if he knew how to. He would be punished too!
He hated his life, he hated the fact that he could never find one friend in his life, but he was strong. He would survive and make his way into adult hood, as a man. A rich man. He did well in school but he was anti-social now. He tried during the early years of elementary, but the way he dressed though he had no choice, he was ridiculed and forever shunned. So the final two years of elementary, he grew to be a longer and anti-social.
Kano stood up as the kids left and he wiped his eyes. He was only 12 years old. He walked up into the school and looked up. There she was… a beautiful black haired girl who stood next to a red haired beauty. The black haired beauty had violet eyes while the other girl had blue-green eyes. The black haired girl was looking at him while the other girl was looking elsewhere talking with her or someone else, and he quickly averted his eyes. He only looked at her for two seconds, only to look away. Women also left their scars.
Women were the worst to him. Only dating him so he could do their homework… or help them with their school. Only for them to cheat on him and never even say thank you to them. When he confronted them, they laughed saying. "You should be grateful I/we graced you with my/our presence." It was heart wrenching.
Kano now sat in his class room, taking the far back corner away from the teacher and everyone. It was his homeroom class, and wouldn't you know it… the black haired beauty from before took the seat next to him.
She smiled at him gently but he looked away, hurt in his eyes. She tilted her head confused and then tried to get his attention, but nothing worked. She could feel the aura coming from him. She saw what happened to him outside the school, seeing that he was just a kid with a rough life. Bullied, poor and no friends. She felt the despair that came off him like waves. She knew that he has dislodged his heart from this world, no longer feeling happiness. Only anger and sadness. The girl sighed and when the bell rung she got up and left. She met up with the red aired beauty and both began to talk.
"Who's that boy Akeno?"
"I'm not sure, but he looks lonely."
"Just let him be Akeno. If that is what he wants, there is nothing you can do."
"I think there is more to him then we think Rias." The girl said, smiling at her best friend. The two girls just left to their next class.
A couple hours later, the bell rung for lunch. Kano made his way into the lunch line, behind the black haired beauty. She didn't notice him yet, and he was thankful. He couldn't deal with another woman tearing him down. Kano got his lunch from the line and made his way towards a corner table, only to be tripped by a girl from elementary. She looked at him and laughed.
"Have a nice trip, see you next fall you loser." The entire table she sat at laughed at him, and Kano began to get up, only for the girls boyfriend to push his head into his food which was spaghetti, meat balls and a fantastic sauce. It was mushrooms and olives for him! "Haha you stupid nerd. You should learn to eat better." The entire table roared in laughter.
Akeno, was sitting at her table, watching the commotion. She got up from her table when the boy got tripped and made his way to help him. She then saw the other boy push Kanos head into the food, completely destroying the plate. The boy removed his foot from Kanos head and sat down. Akeno kneeled down towards Kano and all the kids looked at her wondering what she was gonna do.
"Look, it's the black haired beauty. One of the two great beautys of our school!" whispered one of the guys at the table.
"Damn she looks FIIIIIINE." Another said.
"Let's see what she does to that nerd."
Akeno ignored the barbarians and began to help Kano up. She held his arm and helped him to his knees, but Kano just pushed her away, gently though. He got up and rushed out of the lunch room, Spaggeti and sauce dripping from his face. The kids gasped at how the kid treated her.
"That little bitch! He pushed Akeno, the black haired goddess!"
All the kids growled at Kano who left and swore that they would get him later.
Akeno sighed and made her way towards the table she was at and sat next to Rias again.
"Look at that Akeno. You made it worse on the poor guy. Those monsters are gonna tear him a new one today."
"I know, I know… but I cant help it. The poor guy could use a friend… plus… hes kinda cute."
"Oh jeez." Rias said, though she was happy for Akeno. If she found a cute boy, she should go for it. Akeno never had a boyfriend before, though she has had plenty of boys come up to her.
Kano never returned to the homeroom at the end of the day, and Akeno was worried. She asked to be excused and made her way down the hall. She then heard a bunch of grunts and yelps, then a few other sounds that sounds like a punch. She rushed over and saw that outside was Kano being punched against a tree. They avoided his face, but they were aiming for his gut and chest. They were kicking, punching, slapping, kneeing, elbowing. They were just beating and beating up on him. They turned and saw that a teacher was coming up from the parking lot and they ran. Girls and boys were all beating upon the poor guy.
Akeno made her way over and knelt next to Kano, who just sat there against the tree, awake and strong. He had no tears falling, but there was pain in his eyes. Kano looked at her and began to push her away, but Akeno used her superior strength in this situation to keep him still. She lifted up his shirt, and saw the bruising. She sighed and looked at the kid.
"I'm Akeno."
Kano didn't respond, looking away from her.
Akeno lifted Kano into her arms and carried him like a bride, taking him into the school and to the nurses office. She laid Kano onto the bed and the nurse began to look at all the wounds.
"What happened?"
"A bunch of kids were wailing on him in the playground."
"I see. Well, the kid will be alright. No internal injuries, but he will be in pain for a while. I don't have permission to give him pain killers though, so he could go to the doctor, but I think he should stay here for a couple hours. I will send him home later."
Akeno nodded, took a look at Kano who was staring at the wall like its interesting and left.
A couple hours later, Akeno and Rias stood in their club room overlooking the main entrance. Akeno looked outside and saw Kano walk out of the building. He turned and looked up at her for two seconds then walked away, looking forward against as he made his way home.
A bright red light entered the room and Akeno turned. Out stepped a red haired man, taller then any guy Akeno has ever seen. Rias looked a bit worried.
"Brother? Whats wrong?"
"Oh its nothing Rias. I just wanted to talk to you guys."
"About?"
The man walked to the window.
"I see you guys have met Kano."
"Who?" Akeno asked.
"The boy you helped to safety." Rias said.
"So that's his name?"
"Yes." The man said. "I know him. Infact, im the reason he is alive today."
"What do you mean?" Rias asked.
"Well, it's a long story, but here it is. 7 years ago I was summoned by a man. This man had barely any greed in his heart. He summoned me for one thing. To save his son if he died. The father was a soldier in the Russian Special Forces, the Spetznaz. The father died in North Korea."
"Ah the war that was going on between Russia, America, China and North Korea."
"Yes. American and Russian Special Forces invaded North Korea to end the war, which they did. The only casualty was, unfortunately, Kanos father. Anyways, the night before the mission Kanos father summoned me. He requested of me to save his sons life from his Coma. Normally, the cost would be very high but without any greed from the man, I felt a bit emotional. While I couldn't make it perfect, the cost of this was minimal."
"What was the cost?" Rias asked. Akeno was listening quietly.
"A rough childhood"
"Oh."
"Anyways, Kano is a devil though he doesn't know it. His powers are sealed until he becomes strong enough to release them."
Akeno perked up. "A devil?"
"Yes, and a very strong one at that. He owns a very powerful sacred gear. I have no idea what this sacred gear is. Its a new sacred gear. This sacred gear is extremely powerful and it will cause issues with the fallen ones."
"As always." Rias said with a bit of disgust.
"So, while Kano is a devil, there was only one way for me to save him that night. I had to make him into a devil, but the only pieces I had was a king and a pawn."
Rias raised a brow. "You just made the boy into a super powerful devil and he wont even know about it?"
"Yes. He could receive a peerage from the start. I did this on purpose though. I made him into a king because of what kind of life he would live. I got into a lot of trouble by my wife and our parents but its all good now. They are also curious about how he will turn out."
"I see. So what do you want us to do with the boy?"
"Nothing right now. I don't want you to tell him he is a devil or whatever, but you can be his friends or whatever. That will cause no harm, however I do think protecting him would be wise."
"Well Akeno here seems to have a little crush on the boy." Rias said with a smirk, teasing her best friend.
"I see." Rias's brother said. He then walked back to the portal. "Well, I shall take my leave. Have a good night Rias."
"Night."
Rias and Akeno watched as the man disappeared and both went their own separate ways. Heading to their own rooms in the school.
Kano made his way back home, sighing as he climbed into his bed. It was really the only really nice thing in his life. It was a very comfy bed and he drifted off right to sleep.
Read. Review. Moo.
