Chapter 2: An annoying meeting and a persistent girl
I do not own anything from both series.
Dark Pit woke up from his alarming blaring. He lightly smash the clock to stop the loud noise. Not enough to break the clock, but enough to stop the end the rancid sound. He groaned while getting up.
'Good thing the weekends are my days off.' He thought.
He took a shower to clean himself up. He noticed traces of blood flowing down the water.
"Tch... Bloodstains from last night's battle. They reek of an underworld denizen…" He muttered darkly.
"To think I would find beings of the underworld here in the world of the humans. It's pretty strange, but they don't appear to cause trouble... Still, that doesn't excuse the fact I've got 2 people watching, or stalking me like a moth to the flame. If this continues, it'll provoke another fight." He said, thinking about the recent events.
Despite the stress of thinking, he decided to go out for a walk. He made his way to town and went to a park. Dark Pit seemed to enjoy looking at nature.
"Heh... Who would've thought I would appreciate nature? Although it reminds me of that annoying Goddess Viridi, I never thought I could appreciate this world more than what I thought."
He began to smirk by himself, enjoying the peaceful world. However, his peaceful world was interrupted by a girl. The girl was wearing a school uniform that was a red jacket with a gold letter 'P'. A small red bow was tied around her school jacket. She was wearing a green skirt with a thin white strip around the lower end. This girl had a voluptuous figure. She was blushing red when he stared at him.
Dark Pit felt somewhat annoyed, but suppressed the feeling down.
'I don't know who she is, but she looks as though she's trying to say something.' He thought.
"Um... A-Are you Kuro-san from Kuoh Academy?" She asks while stuttering.
'Who is this girl? I don't think there's a girl like her around this neighborhood. Might as well play it safe…' He thought.
He nodded. She smiled and started to introduce herself.
"That's a relief... My name is Yuuma Amayo. It's a pleasure to meet you, Kuro Pit. I wanted to tell you something..."
This made him feel somewhat uneasy.
"I've been seeing you walk through the neighborhood. I-I was wondering if you had a girlfriend."
Let it be known that Dark Pit never thought of relationships. He's not foreign when it comes to love, but he refuses to acknowledge it. Rather, he's very shy and had a traumatic experience. The students of Kuoh academy thought he wasn't interested in girls. He just minded his education, although he usually doesn't mind company at times. He tends to be a quiet person unless someone talked with him first. Of course, he gets annoyed a lot when a group of people question him too much, or there's a disturbance.
He stares at the girl. "I don't have a girlfriend..."
She quickly sighs in relief when hearing that.
"I-I was wondering if we can go out together. P-please go out with me...!"
This made him blush up.
"I-I-I'll think about it." He stuttered. She smiled in response.
"At what day do you want to go out at our date and what time?" She asked.
He began to think.
"Next week would be a good time for me around 1:15 PM. I have plans tomorrow so I won't be able to go out." He said.
"It's ok. I'll wait for you next Saturday" she said with excitement.
He could only watch Yuuma walk away while she was smiling.
'Somehow, I feel as though I made a fatal mistake. I don't know how to date a girl…' He thought.
Feeling nervous, Dark Pit walked at a forest. His face started to blush, remembering Yuuma's words. Because he was so distracted, he didn't sense 3 people were following him.
"Looks like we won't be able to talk with him that easily. That fallen angel was able to talk with him first. We might as well make sure we will find a way to talk with him tomorrow. Right now, it's doesn't look like a good time to suddenly chat with him."
Koneko and Kiba nodded in response. The sun was setting as the trio watched Dark Pit running home.
The next day came as Dark Pit woke up. His face blushed as he recalled what happened yesterday. In an attempt to cool his head off, he went to the outskirts of town. He ended up in at the same place he appeared at.
"It's been 8 years since I came here…" He said with nostalgia.
"To be honest, I like how nature is. Besides shedding off the boredom, it feels serene."
He gave a melancholy smile.
"I wonder, if the people in my world noticed my disappearance. I highly doubt it though…" He mused.
His thoughts were cut out when 3 people appeared near his position.
"Who's there!?" He shouted.
From the trees, the figures appeared.
"Rias Gremony, Koneko Toujou, and Kiba Yuuto... One of the 2 Great Ladies of Kuoh, the mascot of Kuoh, and Prince Charming of Kuoh... What do you 3 want with me?" He questioned suspiciously.
"I wish to talk with you, Kuro-san."
His glare started to grow darker.
"Were you the one who attacked Akeno first?" She asked.
"Tch... If you want the answer, she attacked me first after seeing what I am. I'm sure she told you all what I really look like. Keep your club members to yourself. The next time I get followed from you or anyone relating to you, I won't be merciful. Just like what I did, with that perverted denizen of the underworld."
Rias merely smirked.
"It looks like you have a sharp tongue on you. Let me explain things clearly for you. I may be a denizen like Akeno, but she's someone precious to me. Plus, we are not here to cause trouble in the human world. If she appears like that again, I won't hesitate to strike you down."
Dark Pit kept his glare at her. He still couldn't trust Rias and the people she's with.
"I didn't intend to truly kill her, only maim her. I also don't like perverts, especially when they express it to someone they don't know."
He merely huffed and crossed his arms, turning his body away from her.
Rias decided to fool around with him. She slowly clamped on to his back, pressing herself on him. This shocked him, forcing him to reveal his wings.
"W-what the heck are you doing...!?"
She giggled from his embarrassed face.
"For a fallen angel, you sure are innocent. How did they feel to you?" She asked with a seductive tone.
"W-what kind of question are you asking me all of a sudden!?"
Dark Pit's face turned bright red, which failed to enhance his glare at her. It made her laugh at him while he attempted to hide his face.
"Don't do that again, Gremory-san. I'm not in the mood for anything perverted."
She pouted cutely, making him blush up without control.
"Then why are you out there in the middle of this forest?" She asked cutely. He sighed and answered to her.
"This is the place where I first came to this world. I've told Koneko that I'm not from this world. More specifically, I not from this plane of existence."
This raised her eyebrows in curiosity.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"The world where I come is not like how it is here. It looked similar to the Roman Times, despite the occasional monsters."
This got Rias's attention.
"What monsters?"
He sighed and explained.
"The denizens of the underworld. They look nothing remotely close to human, although some are known to look human. Those kind of fiends are known for causing chaos in their fun times. Although I'm a black angel, I hunt these monsters to protect humanity."
Rias was fascinated by his tale.
"Are you like a knight who saves people in that time?" She asked with admiration.
"I don't take sides, Gremory-san. I stay neutral on my own will. It's a mundane view for me to side with anyone. If the danger is strong, I may join, but I'll leave later on."
This made her think carefully.
"I want you to join my peerage." She suddenly said.
This surprised him for a minute.
"I refuse. Like I said, I don't take sides with anyone."
This didn't give the desired result for him. Koneko clinged on to his leg, preventing him from moving.
'What strength... Talk about little things coming with big surprises...'
Rias walked closer to him, smiling.
"Again, I want you to join our peerage."
This made Dark Pit struggle to loosen against Koneko's grip. He had enough of the shenanigans around him and decided to fly off. He crouched down and took off like a rocket up in the air. This made Koneko lose her grip on him as he flew off in the horizon.
"We'll let him go for now. I can be persuasive to him but he clearly has bad taste to anyone from the underworld."
Koneko and Kiba nodded.
Having enough with the strange meeting with Rias, Dark Pit flew to a nearby rooftop, avoiding the gaze of the humans. He felt violated from his personal space, not wanting to see Rias again.
"Damn that woman... Teasing me like I'm some kind of kid... She said something about joining a peerage. No way in Hell I'll join her."
He stood up with his wings fully stretched. He didn't notice till now how big his wings have gotten.
"Huh... My wings have grown to about my height... Could that tablet I touched back in that island have something to do with it? Either way, I can now fly without any influence from any deity."
His wings eventually receded, allowing him to relax.
"Ah...? Aw dang it... I need to study for a math exam for this Thursday... Argh...! All these distractions made me forget about it! I still have time to study though."
He flew back to his home at the suburban neighborhood.
######
The day was still young as Dark Pit studied for his exam. He felt ready for the test coming up. He went to the kitchen and made rice balls as a snack. His time of peace at his home was interrupted by the sound of knocking at his door. Irked by it, he answered the door, only to find a black cat.
"Huh... A black cat... I guess someone wanted me to take care of it."
The black cat look injured and thin. Feeling pitiful for the cat, he nursed it back to health. He gave it a wash at the bath, which it had no problem tolerating.
'Odd... For a cat, it didn't hate the water…' He thought.
He fed it some tuna nigiri and it happily ate the sushi. The cat purred and kneaded on his legs. It made a brief meow as he gently rubbed the cat's head. It closed its eyes gently as he rubbed the chin.
He heard another knocking at his door. The cat left his lap as he answered the door. His eyebrows twitched as he didn't want to see 2 people in particular. Rias and Akeno were at his doorstep. He immediately closed the door at their faces and yelled "Not interested!" at them. He was taken in surprise as they teleported inside his place.
"What is with you two!? Can't a guy ask for a peaceful time?" He exclaimed.
"Ara ara... He certainly doesn't want to get involved with us." Akeno said with a sultry tone.
This made him equip his Silver Bow.
"Oh? It looks like you have a Sacred Gear... That makes you worth joining my peerage." Rias said while smiling with interest.
"Sacred Gear? You're mistaken what this is called. It's a Sacred Treasure." He corrected.
This stopped Rias as he heard what Dark Pit said.
"Sacred Treasure? Let me guess... This came from the world you know of?" She asked. He nodded in response.
"Sacred Treasures are like powerful artifacts. They come from manifestations of a deity's power, or through one's power. Having said that, I need to ask you two leave, NOW!"
He aimed his bow and fired an arrow of light towards their feet. The arrow didn't explode, but it made them back away from him.
"Ara ara... He sure is battle ready." Akeno said.
They both raised their magical aura, intending to fight back.
"I don't intend to fight unless I'm provoked. I made the arrow miss you two on purpose and made sure it didn't detonate."
Rias and Akeno calmed down after hearing him.
"For a battle-ready person, you know how to hold back." Rias complimented.
"A cute kouhai like you makes me feel warm in my chest. Care to feel it?" Akeno asks seductively.
"Stop teasing him, Akeno. He's already blushing too much." Rias said.
Dark Pit couldn't take it and fainted in front of them.
"Ufufufu... He's so innocent... He may be a Fallen Angel, but he certainly doesn't know much about women." Akeno giggled as she watched him.
"Let's leave him for now Akeno. Your teasing has gone a bit too far." Rias said.
They teleported out of his room.
Dark Pit woke up from his recent fainting spell.
"Ugh... What happened?"
He began to think what happened to him.
'I was taking care of a black cat when those 2 arrived at my place. I recalled shutting the door till they teleported inside my house. Rias was begging me to join her peerage while Akeno teased...-'
He stopped and blushed red from remembering what Akeno did.
"Th-that...teasing...woman..." He was shaking in embarrassment.
Unknown to him, a magical circle was placed in his home. It acted as a security camera, watching him. Rias and her peerage watched while he fumed his temper. They laughed at him as he tried to shake his embarrassment.
"Ara ara... He looks so cute trying relieve his embarrassment. I think I'll tease him up a little more…" Akeno said.
"Senpai must have it tough... Don't tease him anymore, Akeno." Koneko said.
######
Dark Pit vented his aggression out by training with his sword combat. He went to his basement, which housed a large dojo underground. There he made several swings with his Silver Bow. He spun the blades like a helicopter on each hand. This made him move with dexterity as he made strong flips in the air. He trained himself harshly, but it relived himself from the stress.
"Whew... That was refreshing... I'm getting tired of these occurrences here and there."
He made his way to the bathroom. Before he had the chance to use the shower, he noticed the magic circle. Noticing the crimson color, he frowned. Equipping his Silver Bow in archer form, he shot the circle with an arrow. The circle dissipated the moment the arrow touched it.
"Tch... They won't leave me alone, no matter where I go. If that's how they want to play, then I'll outright ignore them."
Angered by the sly stunt Rias made, he focused on showering. The warm water calmed him down. He unfolded his wings as he washed himself.
######
Rias wasn't happy. The magic circle that she created for spying on Kuro-san was gone.
"He noticed the circle I planted to see him in his house. I may have suppressed the aura, but his sight is something to fathom." She complimented.
She was playing chess with Sona.
"Seems like he's a troublesome person" Sona said.
"I admit that he's powerful. He managed to overwhelm my queen."
This made Sona widen her eyes. "If he's that powerful, then why you keep disturbing him." She asked Rias.
"He interests me. He also possesses items called Sacred Treasures. They have the same abilities of a Sacred Gear." Rias responded.
Sona caught interest in Rias's explanation.
"I suggest talking it out with him first. We'll schedule meeting this Monday to talk with him. Don't do anything that'll agitate him thought. It'll make him avoid the meeting." Sona said.
Rias sighed as she listened to Sona.
"I'll have a talk with Akeno so that won't happen." Rias relented.
######
Monday started as Dark Pit got ready.
"I'm taking off. Watch the house for me, Kuro Neko." He said to his cat.
Unknown to him, the black cat glowed bright, shape shifting to a human-shaped figure.
"That Kuro-san sure knows how to take care of cats nyaa~. He sure does like to live alone, yet he's able to manage by himself. Perhaps, I should reveal my form to him when I know the right time nyaa~." The woman said.
Dark Pit was minding his business as he walked towards Kuoh Academy. The girls took notice of his presence.
"Kyaa~ it's our dark prince, Kuro-san." The girls said.
This got his attention and it made him look around.
"Oh no... I'm starting to regret coming to this school…" He muttered.
The girls surrounded him, asking random questions.
"What do you like eating? What sports do you like? Where do you live?"
All these questions made him feel dizzy.
"One at a time, everyone. I can answer one question at a time... I don't have any favorites regarding about food. I prefer archery, kendo, and sprinting. Where I live at, I won't tell." Dark Pit said with a huff.
He went in the school and to his classroom. The female students watched with admiration, while the males watched with envy.
Dark Pit got himself ready for the class. Math was starting and he felt confident. He breezed through the test like nothing. Some students watched with jealously as he returned his completed test to the teacher. He caught sight of some of the students staring at him. He glared at them, unleashing his killer instinct to them. They immediately looked away from him, not wanting to incur his wrath.
######
The class was over and lunch period came. He walked out of his classroom and went outside to eat his lunch. He sneezed from a loose strand of hair that tickled his nose.
'My hair has grown a bit too long... It's past shoulder length and reaching waist length. I may have to trim it…' He thought.
While musing on his thoughts, Kiba appeared to him.
"Yuuto-san, what do you need at a time like this?" Dark Pit asked with annoyance.
"Buchou wants you to come to a meeting this after school." Kiba frowned.
"If your Buchou wanted to tell me that, she should've told me in person instead." Dark Pit replied coolly.
Kiba merely smiled.
"Also, I dislike fallen angels." He remarked
He frowned at Kiba's brief sentence.
"Feeling's mutual, Yuuto-san. I hate denizens of the underworld." Dark Pit retorted.
They glared at each other till they walked away.
Rias took notice of the interaction and sighed.
"This will be more difficult than I thought." She said.
She watched Dark Pit move back in the main school building for high school.
"Ara, Buchou... Watching Kuro-san again?" Akeno questioned.
"He's proven to be a troublesome person. I have a feeling that Sona or Koneko would be able to convince him." Rias said.
Dark Pit was furious. It reminded him how the Gods in his land ordered their servants to do their dirty work.
'That so called peerage that Rias said is no different than the Gods ordering their servants. How stagnant…' He thought disdainfully.
Koneko was watching him as she ate her sweet. She continued to stare at Dark Pit as he walked back to the classroom.
Classes were over for the day. Dark Pit was rushing home to go to work till Koneko caught his shirt, causing him to stop and fall onto the ground.
"Now what, Toujou-san? I have a job that I have to go to." He complained.
"Buchou wants you to her meeting." She said.
Seeing no choice of escape, he ripped his school shirt off. Koneko left his shirt fall onto the ground and caught up with him. She tied him up with a rope and dragged him to the old school building.
Dark Pit struggled to break through the ropes. The moment he was brought to the old school building, he was tossed by Koneko to the floor. This angered him since the constant encounter with Rias and her peerage gave a rotten taste to him.
"What do you want with me now, Gremory-san? Better make sure you have a good reason. I'm late for my part-time work." He replied.
"We can now start the meeting." She said.
Another figure appeared near Rias. A girl with a bowl-cut hairstyle walked near her.
"Pleased to meet you, Kuro Pit. My name is Sona Sitri. I'm like Rias; a devil." Sona said.
He was surprised to know there was more people like Rias. He struggled to move as he attempted to break the ropes off.
"Calm down, Kuro-san. You may think I'm a denizen of the underworld from where you come from. However, you're half-correct. I may be from the underworld, but we all have no intentions of causing problems to the humans. We live in this world and coexist with them peacefully." Sona said.
This calmed him down, but he kept his guard up.
"If Rias told me that in a more civil manner, then our mishaps wouldn't be leading to constant fighting." Dark Pit said bitterly.
Rias moved up to Dark Pit and slapped him in the face.
"That's for hurting my peerage." She said.
However, it only made him angrier. Dark Pit shook violently against the ropes. With brute strength, he destroyed the ropes, surprising everyone.
"I'll have you know that I'm in no mood for discussions, especially with the likes of you. I'm late for my job and you wasted plenty of time." He snarled.
He ran outside and flew off to his home.
"Nice going, Rias. You only made him angrier. He'll completely avoid you or worse... He'll avoid or fight devils in general now." Sona refuted.
Rias attempted to reason with Sona.
"He attacked my peerage first of all." Rias said in excuse.
However, Sona knew the truth.
"He attacked because you kept disturbing him. Your queen provoked him in battle, no less. You're lucky that you didn't lost your queen. I also had a look at his aura. He's no ordinary fallen angel. He's a black angel. An angel with wings of the fallen." Sona explained
Rias felt guilty after hearing about Dark Pit from Sona.
"It's too late now... We should've been conservative to his privacy…" She said to Rias.
######
Dark Pit flew to his home and grabbed his work clothes. With seconds to spare, he flew quickly to his job at supersonic speed. He had 25 seconds left but he managed to change into his work clothes.
"It's a good thing I made it in time. Otherwise, my boss would complain about being tardy." Dark Pit noted.
He still fumed about the meeting with Rias and Sona. He began cooking various dishes in the small restaurant. It became his respite, although he doesn't reveal himself as the chef of the place. Most of the customers were females, with occasional guys coming in. He didn't reveal himself as each time a girl took a bite of the meals he cooked, they suddenly become allured by it, almost losing themselves from the pleasure of the taste. An unfortunate incident came when he cooked a meal few days ago. The girl asked the cashier who was the chef of the restaurant. When she knew it was him, she squealed loudly. Eventually, it disturbed him as the girl stalked him. After the incident, he became more aware of his surroundings.
He managed to finish his work shift for the day. He changed his clothing and walked back home. The walk gave him time to think of personal stuff.
'This world has a lot of moments where it can be troublesome. Although similar to the world where I come from, it has lost its natural feel. The world where I came from was during the Roman era. It was almost a millennia during that time. Humanity had encroached in many places, but they're attempting to rectify this problem.' Dark Pit mused.
He was still thinking about the world around him, he didn't notice Rias and her peerage heading towards his direction.
"Ara... He appears to be thinking about something." Akeno said.
"It appears so. He had a look of nostalgia." Rias said.
"Maybe we can peak into his mind to see how he was." Akeno suggested.
Rias shook her head.
"Leave it alone, Akeno. Although I'm curious as well, we don't want to anger him any further. 'Unless I get to peek inside his memories'." Rias thought the last comment.
######
Dark Pit made to his home but was tired. He changed to his sleep wear and fell asleep for the night. Unknown to him, Rias teleported inside his house to search for him. She eventually sneaked her way to Dark Pit's room and saw his sleeping form. She created a magic circle to peek at his memories.
That's all from here.
