Hello everyone. It's me again. So let me start off by saying that I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of people that liked the first chapter. I didn't really know what was going to happen, since I've never wrote a Highschool DxD story before. And any expectation I had was blown away by the people that liked this story enough for me to try again at another chapter. Sorry that this note seems a bit short. I don't really know what to put here that I haven't already said before, both about scheduling and about future uploads. So besides saying thank you, I don't really have anything else unfortunately.

I will say that because of my posting history and my unknown schedule, I've decided to submit my character for another author to use for their story. And an author actually liked it enough to make a story off my character. So if any of you are interested in reading a different take on Shinji, then look at Kai x kuroka. Their story, "Representing the Fallen," is the one based off my character. And while you're there, read some of his other works. They're really good.

That's it for this note. I'll see what I can do about updating my Naruto story for those that want an update. Again, I can't make any promises on a set date, but I'll try to upload a new chapter soon. But that's enough of me talking. Enjoy this new chapter. As always, I don't own Highschool DxD, besides my own creations. That title goes to Ichiei Ishibumi.

{Idiot} – Sacred Gear/Demonic Thoughts

Shinji watched them as they stared at him. Looking at their faces, he could see that they were scared. Of course, who wouldn't be scared? He knew that while Rias was a High-Class Devil, she herself only had one set of wings, while he had three. He basically just showed them that he could wipe them out like it was nothing. Closing his eyes, he folded his wings back into his body and cleared his throat, snapping them out of their shocked and fear induced trance. "As I was saying, my name is Shinji Komatsu. I've been sent here by the Grigori, specifically Azazel, to look into Fallen activity because there's been a problem that's come up."

Rias, still shocked at seeing a six-winged Fallen Angel in her territory, and slightly terrified, shakes her head, trying to regain her composure. "U-um, what kind of problem required Azazel to send you here?"

Sighing, Shinji says, "One of our leaders has gone rogue."

All the devils present gasped at this. To hear that a leader of the Grigori has gone rogue and could be in their town was terrifying. Especially not too long after the Riser incident. Akeno, surprisingly, was the first to recover and ask, "W-who went rogue?

Shinji says only one word, but its enough for those knowledgeable enough to know the severity of the situation.

"Kokabiel."

Seeing most of devils panic slightly was expected. The only ones who looked confused were the brown-haired young man and the blond-haired girl. Issei and Asia, if he remembered correctly. Looking at Issei's confused face, Shinji turned to him and said, "Kokabiel is one of the Fallen Angel leaders that fought in the Great War. He even survived an encounter with God himself. You must be the Red Dragon Emperor. It's nice to meet you." Turning back towards Rias, he continued, "After the Great War, he was the most vocal about his disapproval of withdrawing. He is very commonly known as a warmonger, so Azazel isn't that surprised he would go rogue." Reaching into his jacket, with the devils tensing in preparation for an attack, Shinji withdrawals a piece of paper that he hands to Rias. "That is a formal mission statement signed by Azazel and approved by the Four Maous."

Rias reads the paper thoroughly, and nods seeing everything was in order. She hands it back to Shinji, saying, "Very well. You won't have any problems for me and my peerage. Although, I have to ask, have you spoken to Sona Sitri at all? She and I share this territory after all."

Shinji shakes his head and says, "Not yet. After this meeting I plan on heading over straight after. I was told to meet with you first."

Rias nods her head. "Alright. Well thank you for bringing this to our attention. You have my word that you won't have any problems from my group."

Nodding his head, Shinji says, "Thank you. If that's all, then I'll be on my way. I look forward to working with you all." Turning around, Shinji picks up his bag and starts heading for the door. However, he stops in front of it. Everyone looks at him curiously, and without turning around, he says, "Not a day goes by where he doesn't regret what happened. How he wished he was faster. How much he wanted to be there. He misses you more than you know, Akeno."

Akeno, hearing this, gets a sour look on her face. "Never speak of that man in front of me ever again. You know nothing."

Shinji shakes his head hearing this. "On the contrary, I know more than you think I do, Imouto-chan." Saying this, he opens the door and walks out.

Akeno, hearing him speak, gets a shocked look on her face. Everyone looks at her, confused and worried. Issei asks, "Akeno-senpai, are you ok?"

She doesn't answer, instead she just stares at the door. Rias gets up and puts a hand on her shoulder, shaking her slightly. "Akeno, are you alright?"

This seemingly snaps her out of her trance, and she turns to Rias with her normal smile on her face. "I'm fine, Buchou. Thank you for your concern."

Rias, still a bit worried, asks, "Are you sure? What happened just there? Why did he call you that?"

Akeno's smile falters a bit, but she fixes her expression and says, "Ara, ara. No need to worry. Everything's fine."

Everyone looks are her still concerned, but Rias nods her head. "Alright, if you say so." She sits back down and turns to face everyone. "Now then, lets continue with our meeting." Everyone nods their heads, and their meeting starts as planned.

Akeno, although still smiling and contributing normally, has her mind set on what Shinji said before he left. She looks at the door with a hopeful expression on her face when no one is looking. She decides that she is going to confront him after school, determined to get answers.

Shinji sits in front of the Student Council President, Sona Sitri. Having explained his reasons for being here, as well as showing her the official statement by the Grigori and the approval of the Four Maous, Sona sits with her hands folded in front of her face, listening patiently. After explaining, Shinji sits back and waits for her response.

Sona, reading the letter as well, nods her head and hands it back to him. "You're right. This is troubling. It's reassuring that the Grigori sent one of their own to deal with a situation like this. As with Rias, you have my word that you won't have any problem for me and my peerage. If you'd like any help then I'd be happy to assist you."

Shinji nods his head. "Thank you. I'll take you up on that if the need ever arises. If that's all then I'll be going. I have a feeling that I have a meeting after school is over." He stands up, grabs his things and heads for the door. Before reaching the door, he hears Sona speak. "Before you go, would you like to play a game of chess?"

Shinji sighs, and shakes his head. "Maybe some other time. I must be going now. Thank you for your time." With that said, he opens the door and leaves.

Sona sighs, a bit disappointed, and goes back to her work. She turns to her Queen, Tsubaki, and says, "It seems like it's going to be getting interesting in Kuoh for a while."

Tsubaki looks at her and nods, but asks, "You don't seem that concerned though, Kaichou. Why is that?"

Sona looks at her, and says, "Against someone like Kokabiel, you'd think that they would send another leader after him. But they sent him. And that tells me all that I need to know. I've read reports about him before."

Tsubaki looks at her and asks, "Who is he, Kaichou?"

Sona turns back to her work, and says, "The Black-Winged Assassin."

Classes are over for the day. Shinji sighs, from both the boredom of learning what he already knew and from meeting both devils today.

"At least everything went okay. Better than trying to hide from them. Good think Okaa-sama suggested it. I wonder how Akeno is going to react," he says to himself.

As if on cue, he feels someone tap his shoulder. Turning his head, he sees Akeno standing there with a slightly hopeful expression. She asks, "Komatsu-san, would you please follow me to the roof? There's something I'd like to discuss with you."

Not saying anything, he nods his head and stands up. Picking up his bag, he gestures for her to lead. She turns around and starts heading for the door with him following, while the classroom is in a bit of an uproar. "What does Akeno-sama want with that guy?" "Oh, I hope she doesn't try to steal him. I haven't even had a chance yet!" Ignoring these comments, he silently follows Akeno to the roof.

On the roof, Akeno stands in front of him with a desperate look on her face. Shinji looks at her and asks, "What did you need Akeno-san?"

Taking a step closer to him, she asks with a hopeful tone in her voice, "Is it really you?"

Shinji doesn't answer at first, instead looking in her eyes, seeing them shaking with slight tears in them. He looks down for a second, then looks back at her with a small smile on his face. "It's been awhile hasn't it, Imouto-chan?"

She gets an overjoyed expression on her face, tears streaming down her cheeks. She then runs at him and tackles him to the ground in a hug, not wanting to let go. He lets her cry on his chest with a soft smile, slowing stroking her head.

"Onii-sama!"

End

And that is that! I hope some of you enjoyed what I was trying to do. I mostly focused on the meeting with the ORC because of Akeno and her history. Also, what do you think about what I did there? I'll admit, the idea came to me while I was typing this up. I didn't really plan on having their relationship like that, but as I was typing, I liked the way it worked. Hopefully at least some of you liked it. If not, then that's fine. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions.

I'm pretty sure I have the next chapter at least roughly outlined, so hopefully the next one will be out in not too long. So hopefully look forward to that. Because of the reviews of the first chapter, I'm going to try to make this into a good story. I have some plans for the future but I don't have anything set in stone yet, just in case I decided to change some things.

And I think that's it for this one. As always, thank you for reading my story. I really appreciate people taking their own time and reading something that I wrote, whether they hate it or not. Because to me, that at least means that it was worth reading, and that's a nice feeling. Leave a review telling me what you think of this chapter and what direction you think I'll be taking this in the future. Although I have a question for you all. And this could impact the future of this story.

What do you think about Shinji having his own team like Vali's? Let me know in the reviews. Again thank you for reading and hopefully you'll stick around.

FrozenFang, OUT!
