I don't own Highschool DXD, The Darkness or Supernatural.
Issei sat at his usually shady spot under a tree and watched the teens that walked around Kuoh Academy. He glanced around to see a red-head girl looking at him intently. But he just disregarded her. After a few seconds Issei felt someone sit beside him.
He looked to his side to see Koneko sitting there. If he were to be honest with himself he would say that he was glad she didn't run off. Runners are usually the guilty ones, so if she stayed maybe she was innocent or confident in her ability to fight him.
"So you came?" Issei asked as he looked to the white haired girl.
"…I'm here aren't I?" Koneko stated dryly, getting a sheepish look from the teen.
"Yeah, it's cool that you came. I thought you might have run off." Issei admitted.
"…I thought you'd run off too." Koneko said. "It's pretty stupid coming back here." She added, causing Issei to narrow his eyes.
"Is that a threat?" Issei asked, causing Koneko's eyes to widen slightly.
"…I apologize, that came out wrong." Koneko admitted. "I just think it's stupid for you to assume I'm the only devil here." Koneko said.
"I already suspected as much." Issei replied. "Are they all…?" He began.
"…Yes, they're like me." Koneko stated.
"My, my Koneko-chan, who's your little friend?" Akeno asked as she walked up to the two. Koneko and Akeno noticed the shadows surrounding Issei began to convulse erratically.
"I'm Issei." Issei stated uncaringly, as he looked through his school bag not noticing the shadows.
"Hello Issei-kun, is it alright if a can talk to your girlfriend? We have to our club to go to." Akeno asked in a manner that seemed polite. Issei glanced to Koneko to see the white haired girl glaring slightly at Akeno, before he shrugged. Koneko stood up and followed Akeno to god knows where.
Issei watched the two leave, before he leaned against the tree and closed his eyes. After a few minutes the bell rung, signaling the start of school. Issei sighed as he stood up and headed for class. While in class Issei zoned out, thinking about how he would try to rescue Dean from Hell.
After a few hours school ended, with nothing really happening. Issei stood at the entrance of the Academy for a few minutes, waiting for Koneko to come. But when she didn't Issei sighed and left. Issei got something to eat and sat in a park watching the sun set.
Issei turned around when he heard a sound approach him. He noticed it was Koneko. "…I apologize for being late." Koneko voiced quietly as she sat next to the teen.
"It's alright. I doubt you'd drop most of the things in your life just to hang out with me." Issei admitted in a gloomy voice. That had Koneko looking down.
"…You watched the sunset." Koneko stated trying to change the subject. "I didn't know you that type of person." She added.
"Oh, and what type of person am I?" Issei asked.
"…a type of person who doesn't watch the sun set." Koneko replied.
"Hmm, I guess you're right. I don't watch it for the supposed 'Beauty' it's supposedly has. I like the feeling I get when I watch the Sun become engulfed in Darkness." Issei admitted. Just like feeling of security when he's in the shadows, Issei also felt a euphoric high whenever the Sun set.
Koneko looked at Issei weirdly. "…You sure are obsessed with the Dark." She commented, earning shrug from Issei.
"We all have our hobbies." Issei voiced before he handed Koneko some of his food, which she graciously took before she started eating. The teen glanced back to the descending Sun and relished in the feeling.
"Hey, hey! lookie here! A Shitty Devil and a Shitty Human! Sitting together under the moon light! HAHA" a crazed voice announced. "I never knew heathens and devils had such a lust for each other! It's beautiful!" The voice added.
Issei turned to see a young man with white hair and red eyes. And he wore clerical clothing.
"Um, who are you?" Issei asked.
"I, Heathen-kun, Am a priest, a young priest." The priest said as he began to so a dance. "Cutting down all devilish fiends, while the nihilistic me is laughing, shopping off your devilish head, then go ahead to eat! I'm Father Freed Sellzen!" Freed declared.
"This guy is ah…this guy's somethin'." Issei stated.
"Shut up you shitty human!" Freed yelled as he shot something at one of Issei's knees, causing the teen to collapse on his knees. "I'll kill the Shitty Devil first, then the heathen!" Freed yelled before he shot his gun at Koneko, which surprisingly had no effect.
Issei watched as Koneko pull a tree out of the ground and threw it at Freed. Before he looked around for his school bag, and dragged himself to its location, making sure not to use his broken knee. He reached the school bag and he pulled it to himself.
"Ah, ah, ah that's not how a heathen should acting in the presence of the divine." A voiced said from behind Issei, before searing pain exploded from his chest. Issei looked down to see blue spear of light protruding from his chest.
'Issei…Soon…Darkness will Fall…" a demonic voice echoed in Issei's head. Issei forced his head to turn to see a man with black wings. He looked down to see the man holding another spear. The man was about to throw the spear but he was sent flying courteously to Koneko's fist.
Issei glanced around in a daze as the pain began to be too much for him. "Issei! Issei!" Koneko voiced as she knelt next to him and placed her hands on his shoulders. "Listen to me. You have to stay awake." Koneko instructed, before her head was sent to the side by a bullet. She turned to see Freed aiming a gun at her.
When Koneko attacked the priest, a large red sigil appeared near Issei. The red light cleared revealing Rias, Akeno and Kiba.
"Akeno, Kiba, help Koneko." Rias ordered, before the two went to help their comrade. Rias knelt in front of Issei, whose muscles were locked in a kneeling position with his head looking down.
"Sorry, Issei, we couldn't arrive earlier." Rias voiced as she pulled out a chest piece and placed it on Issei's chest. The piece sunk it, but Rias' eyes narrowed as she pulled out more pawn pieces. She kept putting more of the pieces in his chest until she didn't have anymore. Her eyes widened when nothing happened. She pulled out a Bishop piece and placed it in his chest, then a Rook then a knight.
"Eight pawns, a rook, a bishop and a knight…What are you Issei?" Rias muttered, before several pitch black tentacle-like things extrude from Issei's back. Rias backed away and watched with morbid fascination as the tentacle-like arms stab themselves into Issei's chest and violently tare out the chest pieces.
"What the hell?" Rias announced as she saw the tentacles wrap themselves around Issei creating a black cocoon that had black smoke radiating off it. Rias' outburst got everyone's attention and they looked at the black cocoon.
"God is Dead…Rules Can be Broken! No You will not Die! Now Issei show these THINGS the meaning of The Darkness!" the same Demonic voice said in Issei's head.
"…What's going on?" Koneko asked to Rias.
"I…don't know." Rias admitted. Before hers, Koneko's, Akeno's and Kiba's eyes widened when they felt a titanic dark power come from the cocoon. The Fallen angel and the priest were stunned as well. All over the world Monsters, Demons, Devils, and Fallen Angels felt the darkest most malevolent power they've ever felt.
A little blonde girl who was sitting with her 'family' glanced in a seemingly random location, as her eyes changed completely white. Two people who were standing behind the girl glanced in the same direction as the girl but their eyes turned completely black.
"I want it." The blonde girl voiced about the dark presence.
"W-what?" One of her guards asked, before his body was thrown back by an unseen force.
"Don't question me. Now go, and find what's causing that…I Want it. When you've found it…tell where it is." The blonde girl demanded, with a glare that scared the two men.
"Y-yes, right away Lilith." One of the men said before they both disappeared.
Lilith turned and looked around the table she sat at to see the family, of the 'Meat suit' she inhabited, staring at her in fear. "I've gotten bored of you. Something more fun has showed up…Bye-bye." Lilith said cheerfully before the people surrounding her exploded in white light.
The four devils, Fallen Angel and insane priest were more or less stunned by the dark presence the Cocoon gave off. The sound of slithering grabbed their attention, as the tentacles surrounding Issei receded back into nothingness.
Issei opened his eyes revealing two glowing yellow eyes. His eyes gazed over the Devils and focused on The Fallen Angel and Freed, as black and purple smoke radiated off Issei's back. Everyone watched as two serpents form at Issei's shoulders and slowly encircle him.
"You, the one with the wings. What's your name?" Issei asked as he looked to the being the stabbed him in the back.
"I my Devil scum am the Fallen Angel Dohnaseek. Now, sit still while I…Hagrk!" The Fallen Angel sounded as one of the Serpent Heads that loomed over Issei's shoulder clamped on to Dohnaseek's throat.
"I only asked for your name, and for your information. I'm not a Devil." Issei stated as the Serpent head near him twitched as blades protruded from it. "I'm much worse." He added as the Serpent head choking the Fallen Angel began to lift Dohnaseek up.
'Kill it! Maim it! Rend its WINGS!' Issei heard the Darkness command in his head, causing the teen to smirk. As two pitch black tentacles shot out of the black and purple smoke and raced towards Dohnaseek. The two tentacles embedded themselves through the Fallen Angel's black wings.
"ArAGH! You fuckin' bastard!" The Fallen Angel yelled. Akeno licked her lips and rubber her thighs together as she watched Issei fight the Fallen Angel. The tentacles that pierced Dohnaseek's wings whipped into two different directions tearing his wings off.
"AHH! ARghAHH!" Dohnaseek yelled as his wings were torn off. Issei had the Serpent Head that held the Fallen Angel by the throat, toss the man in the air, before he had the Serpent head grab Dohnaseek's ankle and held him upside down.
The Serpent head with the blades protruding from it lifted itself over Dohnaseek and whipped itself downward, bisecting the Fallen Angel from his crotch to his head. Before it sliced the already dismembered body in half again so all that was left of the Fallen Angel was a bloodied leg.
The Serpent heads returned to Issei's side, as he looked to Freed. "Haha! I think I'm in love! YES, Yes that Anger, that Violence! Come one Heathen-kun! Let's fight!" Freed yelled insanely as he fired a bullet of light at Issei. One of the Serpent heads moved in front of Issei to protect him, but the bullet burned through the Dark being and embedded itself in Issei's shoulder.
Issei staggered back slightly, before he looked to his wounded shoulder. The Serpent head that was hit by the Light Bullet stretched out and took a deep breath. When the Serpent head breathed in, black smoke was pulled into its mouth. When it did that, the wound Issei had closed up.
Freed looked at Issei with an insane glee as he fired more Light Bullets at the Darkness host while laughing. Issei continued to heal from the bullets, and glanced at the area behind Freed and noticed it was a forest. A forest that was full of shadows, causing the teen to smirk.
"Hey! Hey! You're not supposed to be smiling!" Freed yelled.
"Do you want to know what my power is?" Issei asked ignoring Freed's outburst.
"W-what kind of question is that?! I don't care what your powers are All Shitty Devils are the same!" Freed declared.
"Hmhmh…Like I said I'm not a Devil, I'm far worse. My power is In Darkness...And you are surrounded by it." Issei voiced. Freed glanced around the forest behind him to see dozens of glowing yellow eyes, reminiscent to Issei's and the Serpent Head's eyes.
"HAHAHA! Yes!" Freed raved as he pulled out some sorta weird flashlight.
'Mmm…This Human is so Evil! Hmhmh…' The Darkness voiced gleefully in Issei's head. 'Feed Him to me.' It added.
Issei sent the Serpent heads towards Freed, but before they could reach him. The Priest activated his Flash-light like device, forming a sword of light. The two Serpent Heads vanished in wisps of black smoke as the light appeared and re-formed over Issei's shoulders.
"YES! Yes! My sword of Light, my sword of light, can cut through the dark!" Freed sung. "My light beats your Dark! HAHA" Freed laughed out, before his sword of light exploded in a purple explosion. The insane priest looked to Issei, to see the Darkness Host holding a pistol that had purple essence radiating off it.
"My Darkness Gun beats your Sword of Light." Issei stated in a matter-of-fact voice. "Restrain him." Issei commanded. Dozens of Demonic imp-like creatures came out of the forest and charged at Freed, while laughing or making crud comments. Freed fought against the Legion of demons, but it was a futile effort.
When Freed was restrained, Issei began to walk up to the Priest only for the crimson haired girl to stand in front of Issei. The Serpent heads snapped their jaws at Rias and hissed at her.
"What?" Issei snapped out, The Darkness was demanding Freed's heart and he wanted to oblige
"I need him alive, for information." Rias stated. She knew that there were Fallen Angles in the area, which went against the treaty. She wanted to know why they were here.
Issei gave Rias a look, before he felt a tug on his sleeve. He looked to his side to see Koneko was the one tugging his sleeve. "…Please, Issei." Koneko asked with big eyes and a quivering lip. "…I don't you to get hurt." She added for effect, but she was being truthful.
"Fine." Issei relented. "But, I'm the one who gets to kill him." Issei added, getting a nod from Rias, before she walked over to the restrained priest.
"…Issei, what is that?" Koneko asked as she pointed to one of the Serpent Heads.
"The Darkness." Issei stated, like it should mean something. Issei glanced around and noticed Akeno looking at him with a blush, while she licked her lips. "Um…why's she looking at me like that?" Issei asked to the white haired girl.
"…Akeno-senpai is a Sadist…and a Masochist." Koneko said in a deadpan as she looked to Rias' Queen.
"Oh." Issei said as he took a slight step away from Akeno.
"…I am sorry, Issei. You were harmed…and I wasn't able to protect you." Koneko said as a melancholic look formed on her face.
"It's alright…why would you want to protect me, though?" Issei asked confused, while they did know each other for months. He didn't think he made that much of an impact on her in the few days they actually talked.
"…You're my friend. And I'd be sad if you were gone." Koneko admitted, getting a surprised look from Issei.
"I see, uh, thanks." Issei muttered, but he still noticed Koneko still had a sad look. "It's alright Koneko, really. If I hadn't had been harmed, I wouldn't have awoken this." Issei voiced as he motioned to the Serpent Heads and the Darklings holding Freed.
"…Hmm." Koneko sounded with narrowed eyes. "Fine." She relented.
"How about after this crap's done with. We get something to eat, alright?" Issei offered. While he already ate, he was starving again. Koneko glanced around before she nodded. She didn't get to eat because of the Priest.
Issei focused back on Freed and Rias and narrowed his eyes. 'Night is Your master…Do Not Follow the Orders of an Abomination…You Follow MY instructions, You are Mine and Mine alone.' The Darkness voiced possessively.
Issei walked up to Rias, who was glaring at Freed. "Do you have your information?" Issei asked, only for the crimson haired girl to shake her head in a negative fashion.
"No, Ise-kun, this guy's completely insane." Rias sighed out.
"Hmm, I'll get rid of him…and don't call me 'Ise-kun'" Issei said as he approached the trapped priest.
"Whatever you say Ise-kun." Rias cheerfully voiced.
Issei had the Darklings release Freed, but before the priest could escape. One of the Serpent heads coiled around Freed and bit the back of his head. The Serpent head pulled Freed's head back, forcing Freed's mouth open. The other Serpent head shoved itself down Freed's throat, before the Serpent head pulled itself out. Revealing a Heart in its mouth before it ate it.
"You guys can have him." Issei voiced to the Darklings, causing them to cheer before the converged on the dead priest.
"So Ise-kun, do you want to explain what that is?" Rias asked regarding the Darkness.
"No, not really." Issei replied as he looked at the group of Devils.
"Why?" Rias questioned.
"Well, I don't know almost any of you." Issei voiced. "I only know Koneko, and that's about it." He added. "So why would I divulge my secrets?" Issei asked rhetorically causing the Serpent Heads hissed in agreement as they loomed over his shoulders.
"…We're friends." Koneko stated. "You can trust us." She said.
'The only one you can Trust is ME.' The Darkness declared inside Issei's head.
Issei looked at Koneko and sighed. "You I trust…it's them, I doubt." Issei replied.
"Aw, don't be like that Ise-kun." Akeno voiced.
"Oh, but I can be." Issei replied. "I've only known you, Red and the blond for about…eh, about five minutes. So I'm fully in my rights not to trust you." Issei said.
"My name's Rias, not Red Ise-kun." Rias pouted out.
"Yeah, sure whatever you say Red." Issei replied, before he turned around and began to walk home.
"Where're you going?" Rias questioned to the Darkness Host.
"Home." Issei replied as the Serpent Heads vanished in wisps of black smoke. Issei knelt down and picked up is School bag, and then began walking.
"Wait! We have to talk! We have to make sure you're not a threat to the people here! And so you know what's out there!" Rias announced, getting a slight chuckle from Issei.
"Oh, I know what's out there." Issei said as he motioned at all around him. "And, I won't be attacking humans, that ain't my shtick." Issei replied, before he started walking again. Only for a bolt of lightning to strike the area in front of Issei, causing the teen to quickly turn around and face the Devils, with the Two Serpent Heads manifesting over Issei's shoulders instinctively.
Issei saw Akeno's hands had lightning dancing around her hands. "Oops." Akeno voiced unapologetically. Issei glared at the girl and the Serpent Heads followed, their eyes changing from Yellow to a menacing Red.
"My, my, such a face, it's so…Mmmm." Akeno said as she blushed as she held a hand in front of her face to try to hide it.
"Why'd you attack me?" Issei demanded causing one of the Serpent heads to twitch as blades emerged from its head adding to the menacing quality.
"Sorry, my hand slipped. But while you're there, you should listen to President." Akeno said still blushing.
Issei's glare shifted to Rias, who was looking uncomfortable. "I'm sorry for how Akeno acted. But, maybe tomorrow you can meet up with us at the Occult Research Club." Rias offered, trying to be civil.
Issei glanced at Koneko, who was looking at him with big hazel eyes, before he sighed. "Fine." Issei relented, getting a smile from Rias.
"Great!" Rias happily voiced. "We'll meet tomorrow." She added, before she sent a smirk to Issei as a Red symbol formed under her, Kiba and Akeno. The three Devils Vanished.
"…Issei." Koneko voiced.
"Yes." Issei replied.
"…Aren't we going to get something to eat?" Koneko asked as she tilted her head.
"Oh, yeah." Issei muttered to himself as the Serpent Heads dissipated into black smoke. "Come on, let's go." Issei said as he motioned for Koneko to follow him.
The two walked to a restaurant and were seated. Koneko glanced around the Restaurant to see it was full of a wide variety of individuals, but mostly shady people.
"…Issei, are you sure it's safe to be here?" Koneko asked.
"Yeah, sure." Issei waved off as he read the menu. Koneko looked around and noticed some of the people would look at her or Issei, then quickly look away. "Besides I'm sure you could kick anyone's ass." Issei added.
Koneko slowly nodded. While she was small, she could tear a tree out from the ground and use it as a bat. So it'd be doubtful that any of the humans could harm her. The waiter came and took the two's orders, before he left.
"…Issei, can you tell me what happened at the park?" Koneko questioned.
"I was killed." Issei replied, causing Koneko's eyes to widen slightly.
"…But, you're here." Koneko stated. She knew Rias didn't resurrect Issei as a Devil. His body would need time to adjust. So he wouldn't be moving around.
"The Darkness saved me." Issei voiced, causing Koneko to look at Issei in confusion.
"…This is the second time you said that. What is it?" Koneko asked curiously.
"The Darkness is a Primal force of the dark, The Angelus being the Primal force of the Light." Issei stated. Koneko looked down in thought as she remembered what Issei told her about the Angelus. "It's pretty simple actually." He said.
"…And you have it sealed in you?" Koneko asked tilting her head slightly.
"No." Issei voiced. "I don't know really. I just know what the Darkness is…not why it's in me." Issei admitted. He wasn't that shocked he had the Darkness in him, mostly because he had so many dreams and memories about the dark being, he knew he was connected to it somehow.
"…Mm." Koneko sounded as their food arrived. The white haired girl ate her food taking very little bites. While Issei ate at his own pace.
"…Why are you a Hunter?" Koneko questioned. "You said that Hunters become hunters for a reason…so what's yours?" She clarified.
"I'm what people would call…extremely violent." Issei admitted, which was true, that's how he got into the assassin business in the first place. "Being a Hunter, helps alleviate those tendencies." Issei stated, causing Koneko to look at him.
"…You don't seem violent." Koneko voiced. From what she saw Issei was mellow more than anything. He only got mad when he was annoyed.
"Exactly." Issei simply replied. "Sense you asked me why I'm a hunter, why are you a devil?" Issei asked, but noticed Koneko's eyes downcast. "You don't have to tell me, if you don't want to." Issei stated, getting a thankful nod from Koneko.
"…It's because it was my only option." Koneko informed deciding to trust Issei.
"You always have an option." Issei said.
"…Not when the other option is death." Koneko replied apathetically, getting wide eyes from Issei.
"What?!" Issei demanded.
"…It was either become a Devil, or Die." Koneko admitted.
"Why?" Issei asked with narrowed eyes, causing Koneko to look down.
"…I don't want to talk about it." She replied before she went back to eating, getting a nod from Issei. Issei looked at Koneko intently and noticed two outlines form next to her. One was Koneko with cat ears, slitted eyes and two tails. The other was of a woman with long black hair, and the same hazel eyes Koneko had, plus she too had cat ears and two tails.
'What is that?' Issei thought to himself.
'Every being has Darkness in them…Inner Darkness can be Many things…from Fear…to Hate.' The Darkness sounded from inside Issei. After the two finished their food, Issei paid and they left.
"..Issei, are you really going to the Occult Club tomorrow?" Koneko asked.
"I don't know, probably." Issei replied uncaringly. "But, I do know Rias will probably try and convince me to become a Devil." Issei said.
"…Will you?" Koneko questioned.
'No…Issei you are Mine…You will be no one else's Servant!' The Darkness declared possessively again.
"Um, no." Issei voiced as he glanced around. "I would walk you home, Koneko. But I have no idea where you live." Issei admitted as he looked at the short girl.
"...It's okay." Koneko said. "I don't need to walk home." She stated before a red symbol formed under her and she vanished.
"That was cool." Issei muttered to himself before he glanced around.
"Heheh…looks what I've found." A weird voice announced, causing Issei to turn and see a Darkling at his feet.
"What'd you find?" Issei asked curiously, only for the Darkling to pull out the head of Freed.
"This man was off his rockers, and killed lots of little monkeys…maybe he has a bounty on his head." The Darkling voiced with a demented smirk. Issei smirk too as he grabbed the head by the hair and walked with the Darkling. Issei was glad it was midnight or else someone might have seen him.
Issei headed towards one of the 'Underground' bounty station. Well it wasn't a bounty station per say. It was an exchange building where you could turn in bounties for money. The exchange building also spread the word for any hits that anyone has given out. If there was a bounty on Freed's head, the Bounty station would know.
"You know. The Monkey's icky bits were so much fun to play with." The Darkling stated. "I's just wish he was alive while we had our fun." The Darkling added.
"Well, in my line of work. I'm sure you'll have lots of fun." Issei responded.
"Oh, you're such a kind master to this little Darkling." The Darkling announced with a grin. "Can we go and kills us a bunch of people to celebrate your awakening?" The Demon asked.
"Maybe later." Issei replied. If he went to the bounty Station, there'd probably be some people with hits on them. If so, he and his Darklings would take care of them and he'd be loaded in no time. Eventually Issei arrived at a dark ally and went down some stairs.
After Issei knocked on the door the Darkling disappeared. Soon the door opened and Issei had to go through a pat down just in case he had a wire. They didn't care if he had a gun, because everyone in the bounty station had their own weapons. So no one could rob the place or else they'd be attacked by everyone.
Issei walked through the place, past some of the other Hitmen and Bounty Hunters. He went up to the front area where you turn in the bounties, and was recognized by the 'Teller' of the place.
"Ah, Mr. Tenebrae." The Teller voiced. "You were here yesterday. You usually don't do more than two hits a week." The teller stated, causing Issei to sigh. He didn't like being this familiar with someone of this life style. But having friends in high places could be good too.
"Yeah, I was attacked today be some batshit insane guy. Freed Sellzen, you heard of him?" Issei asked, causing most of the surrounding people to stop what they were doing.
"Heard of him? Everyone knows of that Crazy mother fucker." The Teller voiced. "Several people placed high bounties on him. He killed the sons and daughters of some very important people. The high bounties attracted some people, and they went after them. They never came back, they were gutted and crucified. That Freed Sellzen is one fucked up individual." The Teller explained.
"Good." Issei voiced as he placed Freed's head on the counter top. "Because here he is." Issei added.
"By God! You actually got the fucker!" The teller said in astonishment.
"Yeah he attacked me while I was on a date…I have to admit, I was a little pissed." Issei stated.
"A little?" The teller asked incredulously. "You killed a guy who was trying to take your drink!" he announced.
"To be fair, it was an expensive drink." Issei replied. The teller placed a hand on his head and breathed deeply.
"Well you have turned in a high bounty. I'll have to wire the cash to your account. I'm sure the families that placed the additional bounties will also give you an incentive, for killing the man that killed their kids." The teller voiced.
"Good." Issei nodded before he left the bounty station, not before giving some nods to the other Hitmen and bounty hunters. While Issei was walking through the alley way, his phone vibrated in his pocket. He flipped his phone open with a message that his account got money.
Issei was honestly surprised by how much money Freed's head was worth. The original bounty came from the Vatican, being around thirty thousand dollars, enough for Issei to live on for a few mouths. There was also the reward the crime families and politicians placed on Freed's head as well, but they'd probably get the message tomorrow.
'Oh hell yeah, I can finally get that motorcycle I've been looking at.' Issei thought to himself as he walked to his apartment. It wasn't very cool to walk to the places Monsters hung out. It also took up a lot of his time to walk everywhere. Plus Motorcycles were pretty cheap compared to cars.
Eventually Issei arrived at his place. When he entered he noticed the lights were on, which was weird because he never turned them on to begin with. Issei pulled out his pistol and walked into his apartment. He searched through his kitchen and his living room and found nothing.
Issei opened the door to his bedroom and quickly slammed it open. "Hmhm, hello there Issei-kun." A seductive voice said. Issei quickly turned to see a woman on his bed.
The woman had black hair that went over the left side of her shoulder and covered the left side of her face, glowing yellow-orange eyes, and pale skin. She wore a dark red off-the- shoulders, V-neck minidress with purple designs. From Issei's perceptive it looked like the woman had a black choker around her neck and high-heeled shoes.
"Um…who are you?" Issei asked. "While I don't mind a hot woman in my bed…I'd like to know who she was before anything happened." He said.
"Oh, Issei-kun, I'm hurt." The mysterious women voiced as she placed a hand on her chest. "You don't recognize me?" she asked with fake hurt.
"I'm pretty sure. I've never seen you before." Issei replied.
"And you've used my powers to readily." The woman voiced, causing Issei to take an involuntary step back.
"W-what?" Issei asked nervously. Only for the woman to vanish and reappear in front of Issei, creating a trail of purple and black smoke in her wake. The woman put a hand on Issei's cheek.
"You've been using my powers, Issei." The woman said in a quiet whisper.
"Y-y-you-you're, The Darkness." Issei nervously muttered.
"Oh, so close." The woman said condescendingly.
"But, you said…" Issei began, only for the purple designs on the woman's dress to glow a menacing purple.
"Shut up." The woman ordered. "I wasn't finished. I am the Darkness…But I'm not 'The Darkness'." She clarified. "I'm a manifestation of it…through you, it created Me." the woman voiced.
"I am…the judge you could say. I decide if you're allowed to wield my power or not." She said with a smirk.
"Let me guess…I'm not aloud." Issei muttered. Only for the woman to place a hand on his cheek and made him face her.
"Oh, don't be so pessimistic Issei-kun." She voiced in a whisper. "I like you. You don't play by the rules. You break whatever makes you mad. You Slaughter whatever harms you…Mmm, it's inspiring." The woman in red said.
"Okay, other than to decide if I'm worthy of using your power…why else are you here?" Issei asked as he took a step back from the mysterious woman.
"Two other reasons actually." She admitted as she checked her nails. "There's never been a wielder of The Darkness, that's been under twenty one before. It's only because of the thing sealed in there, that you can." The woman in red said as she pointed to Issei's left hand. "I'm here to moderate how much Darkness you can use. Two, every wielder of The Darkness had a teacher who knew about it. Sense you don't have one, I'll be your teacher." The woman said before she sat back on Issei's bed and put on leg over the other, causing Issei to look at her exposed legs. Before he shook himself and focused on the woman in front of him.
"How long will you be here?" Issei questioned.
"However long I want to be." The woman replied.
"Well, ah, what do I call you then?" Issei asked.
"I call myself…Cinder." Cinder informed dramatically.
"Uh-huh." Issei sounded as he glanced at his bed. "So, you're going to teach me how to control the Darkness?" Issei questioned, getting a dark amused chuckle from Cinder.
"No, one thing you must know, Issei-kun. You can never control the Darkness… it controls you." She stated in a matter-of-fact tone. "When the Darkness wants you to do something, you obey without question." Cinder voiced.
"What does it usually want?" Issei asked, earning a shrug from Cinder.
"If you don't anger it, it won't ask for much, just the occasional heart of a dark being." Cinder guessed offhandedly.
"Well aren't you the Darkness? Shouldn't you know?" Issei questioned, getting an annoyed sigh from Cinder.
"I am, but I don't have its memories or thoughts. I'm a creation the Darkness." Cinder informed.
"Like a Darkling?" Issei asked, causing Cinder to glare at him with glowing yellow-orange eyes.
"Insinuate that again and I'll burn you alive." Cinder threatened as leveled her hand towards Issei. Purple and black fire engulfed her hand, causing Issei to nod.
"Got it…No calling you a Darkling, I understand." Issei quickly voiced. "Wait, I have school tomorrow, what are you going to be doing?" Issei questioned, getting a condescending smirk from Cinder.
"Going with you of course." Cinder replied uncaringly.
"What?! But aren't you like…" Issei began only to dodge a purple and black fire ball.
"Finish that sentence and I won't miss." Cinder threatened. Issei looked at the insane woman with wide eyes. 'Note to self: don't comment on her age.' Issei thought.
"How are you going to attend school? You…look grown up…" Issei began to awkwardly say trying to find the right words. "Um how do I put this…you're a smokin' hot adult." Issei finished.
"Oh, Issei-kun, you have such a way with words." Cinder said sarcastically.
"I'm just saying, no one will believe you're a teen." Issei stated.
"Issei-kun, believe me. I can be very convincing." Cinder voiced with a smirk.
"Whatever…I'm not paying for you though." Issei replied.
"Don't be like that Issei. Remember, I can cut you off from The Darkness." Cinder taunted.
"You're going to hold that over me aren't you?" Issei asked all he got was a smirk from Cinder. 'Is it weird that I find her dark smirk hot?' Issei thought to himself.
"No." Cinder voiced. "But, thanks for the compliment." She added, getting a surprised look from Issei.
"Wait! You heard that?" Issei questioned.
"Yes, you and I are connected. I can hear all of your thoughts." Cinder informed.
"Oh shit…does that mean you heard what I thought about your…" Issei began as he looked at Cinder's exposed legs.
"Yes." Cinder stated still smirking.
"And about your…" Issei started as his eyes drifted to her chest.
"Yes, yes, I heard all your thoughts." Cinder said with almost palpable amusement. "You know your thoughts gave me a really large Ego boost." She added. Issei looked away, refusing to look at Cinder.
"Aw, don't be like that." Cinder said. "I always knew you were a pervert, it's just that you hide it well." She stated.
"Now come here." Cinder ordered, causing Issei to look at her in confusion.
"Come where?" Issei asked.
Cinder scooted back on the bed, creating more space. "Come here, Issei-kun." Cinder cooed quietly as she made a 'come here' motion with her finger. Issei slowly walked up to her, only for Cinder to grab the front of his shirt and force him into bed.
"Sleep." Cinder voiced softly to the host of the Darkness.
"Where will you sleep?" Issei questioned.
"By your side of course, Issei-kun." Cinder replied as she pushed Issei on his back. "Now, go to sleep. Rest that head ball of yours. You died today, you should sleep." She said in a hypnotically quiet voice, before Issei slowly fell asleep.
"M-mistress, a-are you sure you should get to close to him? You've never gotten this close to any of your hosts before." A Darkling questioned to Cinder. The woman looked at the Darkling with glowing eyes.
"Oh, I want to get close to him." Cinder voiced as she leaned back and ran a hand through Issei's hair. "There were many 'Restrictions' that limited my personal interaction with my hosts." She continued as she pulled Issei closer to herself possessively. "But, now I have the perfect Host for me." She finished before she destroyed the Darkling that questioned her.
"With God dead, I have no other reason to exist now. I only wanted to kill him, but now there's something else." Cinder said as she looked at Issei's unconscious face. "I was lucky to stumble upon you. With you and I together, we'll show the world the true bliss of the Dark." Cinder murmured, before she smirked when she felt Issei lean against her.
Okay for those of you who might be confused here. First Issei's powers will develop differently than the comic book version of the Darkness. If you've read the comics, then you should know how overpowered it really is. So right now Issei has the Video game version of the Darkness powers, but will steadily develop to the Comic book version.
Two, I have made the Darkness female...why, some might ask. because fuck you that's why. If someone complains about it, I'll just ignore them. No one cares when there's a Female Kyūbi or Female Shinigami, but God forbid when someone does something different, that's when shit goes down. Let's all have the same fuckin' idea, and not do anything different.
...Disregarding that rant, The person who the female Darkness is inspired by is Cinder Fall from RWBY, because for some reason I some how write a RWBY character into my stories somehow. So why break that beautiful cycle. Anyway, yeah the Female Darkness is Cinder Fall, because i can totally see her as that evil chick no one says no to because they're scared shitless of her. And if you don't know who Cinder Fall is...there is something called Google, look her up...or don't, I honestly don't care.
Anyways you guys know the drill, tell me if it was good bad or any of that shit. and if it's bad tell me 'How' so I can improve. Or you can keep it to yourself and make me look like and idiot your call.
