I plan on updating twice a week with each chapter being around 1500 words. However if I can only post once during a certain week then I will write 3000 words. That is as long as people are enjoying the story anyway. So that means that I will do my best to write another chapter of this length for tomorrow.

"Hello Kokabiel, things are going as planned and soon we will see whether or not he needs to be killed."

The rest of the first week was far tamer than my first day of school. I occasionally saw Akeno in the hallways with a red haired beauty, but we had not spoken since the first day. As for Yumi, we decided that we would hangout on the weekend and maybe go to a restaurant and see a movie. I was worried when Yuma asked me to do this because it seemed like a date to me, but she assured me it wasn't one. Which I was glad to hear because I was still holding out hope for Akeno.

It was finally Saturday and I had officially made it through my first week at Kuoh Academy. Looking back it was far more entertaining than I had previously thought it would be. This just might be the first school I'll be happy to attend. I turned my head slightly so that I could see the clock. Huh, is it that time already? Oh shit! I told Yuma I would meet her at noon and it's already quarter til. Even if I ran all of the way to the restaurant it would take me half an hour at the least to get there. There was only one option left, I was going to have to turn to the worst case scenario. I sighed as I put my head down in shame while walking into the living room. My dad was reading the newspaper while my mom was vacuuming the furniture and neither of the two noticed my presence. I clear my throat so they could hear me, "Um, could one of you take me to a restaurant in the car. If not I will be really late."

"Late for what," My mom teased. "Is it a date with a girl from school?"

"What? No it's not mom! I'm just meeting a friend!" I yelled back in embarrassment. This was exactly why I didn't want to ask them in the first place. All they do is embarass me whenever they can.

"Sure son, start the car and I'll be right out," My dad said as he put the newspaper down.

"Oh come on, don't you want to tease Ise too?" My mom asked.

"The poor kid, can't you see you're embarrassing him and he's getting all nervous about his big date." My dad responded with a laugh. I honestly can't stand them whenever they hear something about me and a girl they go crazy.

Due to my parents teasing me I ended up being 10 minutes late. Surely enough as soon as I entered the restaurant I saw that Yuma's was making a pouty face. I could tell that she was upset that I didn't make it on time. "Look I'm sorry that I didn't make it on time, but how about I pay for the meal. Will that make up for being late?" I asked hoping the answer would be yes.

"Hmph! I guess so, but don't do it again it isn't chivalrous to make a lady wait for you," she chastised him in response.

"It won't happen again I promise," I tell her. The rest of the day goes by far smoother than the beginning and I had a lot of fun. I know that I told her that this wasn't a date, but it felt like it was one. To be honest I kind of wished it was a date. I'd never been on one before and this girl obviously liked me otherwise she wouldn't have asked me to be her boyfriend. I was just warming up to the idea when I saw a familiar face in the distance of the movie theatre parking lot. It looked like Akeno, or at least I was pretty sure. We were on opposite sides of the lot so it was hard to see that far away. Seeing Akeno distracted me causing me to leave my guard open. I could feel my head being turned away from Akeno and before I knew what was happening Yuma started pulling me into her warm embrace. This was the closest that I had ever been to a girl and she was burying my face in her melons. I was losing all sense of thought when I heard someone clear their throat. At that I finally came back to my senses and started to slowly move away from Yuma and turn toward the direction of the sound. As I turned my head I saw Akeno and my jaw dropped to the floor and I wasn't able to speak. She looked like an absolute bombshell in a short black dress, thigh high boots, and a necklace that fell right in between her partially exposed breasts. "So Ise," Akeno calmly asked, "Am I interrupting something?"

At her words my face turned unbearably red and while I was fumbling about trying to come up with an answer the unexpected happened. "Yes, but it's okay. I'm Yuma, Ise were just wrapping up our date," Yuma said with a coy smile. Hearing her response only made me more flustered and I still couldn't think of anything to say.

As Akeno heard those words she flinched and it looked like she was sad. "Is that true then Ise?" She asked me with hopeful eyes.

"It's not what it looks like. We're just hanging out as friends," I replied once I had regained my composure.

"Oh Ise, that's such a hurtful thing to say. Especially after we shared a kiss," Yuma cut in. What is she doing? She's making this situation worse on me. At that Akeno's expression turned hard and emotionless and she walked away.

"Yuma? What the hell was that? You know that we've never kissed before!" I shouted.

"But we did remember? We shared that shake together and there was only one straw. An indirect kiss is still a kiss." Yuma calmly responded. With that I threw my arms up and sighed, I just couldn't win today. While we were walking home we came across a fountain in the park and Yuma stopped to look at it. Then she quietly asks me, "Ise would you die for me?" After saying those words she transformed into something else entirely and she had black wings that sprouted from her back. I was at a loss for words. Suddenly I felt pain unlike anything that I had ever felt before searing through my body and everything turned to darkness.

"Thank you for saving him Rias," Akeno exclaimed with tears in her eyes.

"There's no need to thank me Akeno, I know what he means to you and also I could tell that there was something special about him from the first time I met him," Rias responded with a smile.

"But you went so far as to use up all 8 of your pawns in order to save him. Are you sure that you didn't make to hasty of a decision? You and I both know that you can't ever get those pieces back," Akeno worriedly asked.

"It's fine, we both know how much thought I put into everything I do. Using all of the pieces on him is a calculated risk that we just have to take. Now why don't you go home and get some rest, you haven't left his side since we brought him here," Rias advised her.

"No," Akeno quickly replied. "I won't leave his side until he wakes up! I'm never letting him go ever again. Once was more than enough times!" Akeno yelled and she burst out into tears. Rias understood how she felt and left at once.

My eyelids slowly forced their way open only for me to be blinded by a bright light above me. I moved my right hand to scratch an itch on my left arm, at least I tried to but the pain was so excruciating that I could barely move my hand at all. My whole body felt like a pile of crap and I didn't like it. After 15 minutes of laying down I put all of my effort into sitting up. With one glance I could tell that I was in my room. While I was looking around my room I noticed that there was a sleeping girl sitting in my gaming chair next to my bed. Wait! That's not just any girl, that's Akeno! But why would she be here? How did she get here? My house is always locked and I doubt she could pick a lock.

Without my noticing she had woken up and ecstatically exclaimed, "Oh Ise, you're okay! I'm so happy! I thought that you were a goner for sure!"

"Uh thanks, but why are you in my room?" I asked because there was no logical answer that I could think of. I mean we only really talked once and I definitely never told her where I lived.

Her face turned bright red which made me think she was sick or something, but before I could think about it for too long she started, "It's a long story but I'll tell you about what happened last night and why. If you have any questions then ask me once I'm done explaining everything. Okay?" I nodded my head curious as to what she was about to say next.
