No Longer Human
"Can I join?" I say again to the shock of everyone in the room. It's Kiba-kun who decides to speak to me first.
"Makoto-kun are you sure you will be giving up a normal life to become a devil." I can hear the worry in his voice but I'm determined.
"Of course if I can be with Koneko-chan and you then it's fine that's if Rias-san will have me that is?"
"I said call me Buchou!" oh crap I've pissed her already at this rate she wont let me join.
I take a breath and I reply, "I'm sorry Buchou it was a slip of the tongue it wont happen again."
"Ok, I forgive you just call me Buchou. Thank you anyway I have to assess your power to see if you're worthy of joining my peerage."
"Ara ara Buchou is really serious now huh her face has gone all red."
Akeno-san said that teasingly.
"Akeno stop it! Don't make me look bad in front of potential peerage members!" Buchou says as her face is really red from embarrassment then she calms down. "Well I do sense power from you. I think its a Sacred Gear but something is blocking my senses. Akeno you try and sense him please."
"I'll do more that Buchou." Akeno-san said teasingly yet again.
"Akeno please just do it." all Buchou got was a yes from Akeno-san.
"Well I do sense power but I can feel something else inside of him untapped potential, perhaps he requires future testing." Akeno-san says with a sadistic grin oh my god what have gotten myself into no I need to do this to be able to help people to help my friends. As I was deep in thought Buchou was asking Koneko-chan some kind of question.
"Koneko what do you think should we had Nakashima-kun to our family?"
"...I think we should...he's very kind although he can be perverted at times." Koneko-chan says in her monotone voice but I feel the love there... I think and then I think about what she said.
"I'm not a pervert!."
"Well in any case it's been along day I think we could all do with some rest don't you think so Buchou?" Kiba-kun asks Buchou
"Yes Yuuto I agree ok lets meet back here tomorrow after school dismissed." she said.
[Yes]
Everyone replied. Everyone then stands up to leave
I turn to leave but something pulls me back...its Koneko-chan.
"Is there something wrong Koneko-chan?"
"...Walk me home Mako-kun." she says the last part quietly but I still hear her.
"Yes Koneko-SAMA!"
...She doesn't look amused.
Before she can hit me I run away from her but in a surprisingly a very high angry tone she shouts, "DON'T CALL ME THAT!"
"So why did you want me to walk you home Koneko-SAMA?" she looks angry but doesn't say anything to me she just glares at me.
I think her glares can kill then again she is a devil so its not impossible I was about to ask her again but she cuts me off, "...Why do you want to become a devil?"
I take a deep breath and answer her calmly.
"I've said I want to protect people that are close to me and be with them."
She stares at me with her expressionless gaze. She's working down my mental barriers I can't take so I give in and tell her the other reason, "I want to protect you and Kiba-kun." I say quietly but she still stares at me so I say it a little louder
"I want to protect you and Kiba-kun."
"...What did you say I can't hear you?"
For a devil you would think she would have super hearing or something.
"I WANT TO PROTECT YOU OK! THERE I SAID IT I DON'T WANT TO YOU BE IN DANGER YOU AND KIBA MEAN EVERYTHING TO ME!"
I yell out which seems to startle her she keeps quiet for a while then whispers
"...Thank you...I want to protect you to...I care about you"
"Koneko-chan..."
I whisper out to her.
We walk for a few minutes more before we are outside of her place before she goes in she turns around and hug's me and kisses my cheek and whispers "...Good night Mako-kun."
Then she enters her apartment and I'm standing there blushing up a storm after standing there for 5 minutes I leave to go back home still blushing and thinking did that just happen.
The next day starts off the pretty much the same I wake up and Amaya Obaa-san starts her usual shouting up the stairs but she says something different at the end that takes me by surprise.
"Makoto there's a girl here with red hair. She says she's your friend so don't keep a lady waiting now dear."
"Obaa-sannnnn I'm coming!...Wait red hair...what's Buchou doing here?"
I say the last part to myself.
I get dressed faster than I ever have before and rush downstairs. When I get there Buchou is just happily chating with Obaa-san with her saying embarrassing things "And the time when he didn't wear underwear to school on a gym class day, he's always forgetting things, so Rias I presume your my grandsons girlfriend am I correct?"
"Umm umm I umm no where n-n-not dating where just ermm f-friends."
She said timidly and with a little blush.
"Oh I see wont tell an old woman like myself. Its ok but Makoto don't get this pretty girl pregnant."
Mine and Rias Buchou's jaw hit the ground. Why would Obaa-san say something like that. Buchou is a stranger to her and she says stuff about p-p-pregnancy she's such a baka, I compose myself and ask Buchou a question.
"Ermm.. what are you doing here?"
She looks at me but before she can answer, Obaa-san opens her mouth.
"Makoto don't be rude!"
Obaa-san says to me in a voice full of authority.
"Sorry Obaa-san, Buchou."
I say with my eyes glued to my shoes.
"Its quite alrightm I just came here to walk to school with you and Koneko and Kiba to get to know you better...if you're gonna be in my peerage." she whispers the last part to me her being this close is making me feel really nervous and is making me blush.
We wait in mostly silence with a comment here and there until the others arrive we all say goodbye to Obaa-san and leave for school.
We walk in silence and Koneko-chan and I can't look at each other without blushing because of what happened the pervious night so we continue until I try and lighten the mood abit by talking to Kiba-kun.
"So...Kiba-kun have you made me a bento today?"
"Yeah I made the usual, here you go hope you like it!" he replies with a smile.
"Thanks it looks great."
I say to him and then we walk on as we near the school, Buchou finally starts talking but it looks like she's almost...shy?
"So Nakashima-kun...why don't we eat lunch together so we can get to know each other better?"
...Wait I thought that was why we were walking to school together.
"Ok Buchou that sounds nice." I say happily.
"Ok well I'll go on ahead see you at lunch!"
She then leaves at a fast pace when we are in sight of the school gates, I hang back a bit I don't feel like being called a freak today but Koneko-chan notices me and backs up as well.
"...What's wrong?" she asks in her usual voice
"Ahhh... its nothing really I'll just go in after everyone else." I nervously say
"...Don't worry ignore them" yeah its easy for you to say Koneko-chan your a mascot and I'm a freak because of my eyes.
"Well lets go to class then yeah?" she nods and we leave.
As it approaches lunch time I can't help but think how my life will change. I know its my decision but I still feel scared technically I wont be human anymore. My thoughts are disrupted by a hand in front of my face.
"Hello are you there you ready to go?" Buchou says I snap to attention and I can hear whispers of the other students of my class.
"Whys Rias Onee-sama having lunch with that freak?" and other stuff along those lines. Buchou glares at them and they stop talking I'll have to thank her for that.
"So you ready?" she asks once more I nod and we leave.
Buchou and I make idle chit chat mainly about school and hobby's which she lets slip she's an anime otaku I start to laugh but one of her famous 'death glares' as I've dubbed them shuts me right up and she says in a pleading voice, "Please don't tell anyone about me being an otaku!"
"Don't worry Buchou I wont tell anyone as I'm one too." I say trying to cheer her up and it seems to work because her eyes seem to have sparkles around them and she grasps my hand saying something but it was to fast for me to hear.
"Whattypeofanimedoyoulikeilikelotsfightingcomedyro mancewhatsyourfavourite?"
.
.
.
"Ermmmm...could you repeat that? I didn't get any of what you said sorry."
"Sorry about that I tend to get hyper active about anime, I'll repeat I said what type of anime do you like and what's your favourite?" she says in a elegant way although still abit hyper.
"I like all sorts, like fighting, mystery, drama and anything with a good plot really." I reply sheepishly while rubbing the back of my head she's more of an otaku then I am better not let her into my room yet though.
She holds my hand tighter which I blush at.
"I know we will get along great!"
After that we end up at the club room and eat lunch while she asks me general questions about my life.
We finish lunch and as I'm about to leave she adopts a serious look and says in a serious tone, "Well Nakashima-kun I will turn you into a devil after school if you want to change your mind now is the time to do it."
I think for a few seconds before I reply.
"Thank you for your concern but I've made up my mind. I want to protect my friends and please call me Makoto."
"Very well Makoto-kun its your choice ok after school you will cease to be human and be a servant devil under me Rias Gremory!" I sweat drop at her she's way too dramatic but that's what makes Buchou Buchou I guess.
After school Koneko-chan and I head to the Occult Research Club. On our way there we meet up with Kiba-kun and we go together when we get there Akeno-san is serving tea to us all but I don't see Buchou.
"Yummy! That magnificent tea is really well done and really delicious, thank you Akeno-san for the amazing tea!"
"Ara ara thank you for the complement I'll definitely have to spoil you now ufufu." as I'm wondering where Buchou is I hear the sound of running water.
"Is someone having a shower?" I ask no one in particular but Kiba-kun answers anyway.
"Yea that's Buchou she sometimes showers here." I wonder if its just for her better not ask.
I hear the water stop and Buchou comes out of the shower in just a towel, I'm not a pervert but my nose is bleeding a little bit "...Ecchi" I fall to the floor.
"Koneko-chan I'm not being ecchi!" she doesn't reply just glares at me again
"Well Makoto-kun ready to become a devil?" I nod my head furiously. I'm ready now I need to do this there's no turning back now.
"Ok I'm going to start be ready it might feel weird but just hang on."
She places one chess piece inside me nothing happens then two and so on until 7 are placed inside me (A:N will be explained later in author's notes at bottom) then I'm feeling the effects.
"Impossible..." I hear Buchou mutter what's impossible can't I become a devil? Am I not good enough?
"Buchou what's happening?" I hear Kiba-kun say
"Its impossible 4 of them are changing from regular pieces to mutated pieces." Buchou comments
"Buchou how's that possible?" Akeno-san says
"I...I...I don't know its never happened before. I knew changing him was the correct decision." after that I black out.
I start waking up and I hear people say stuff around me but I can't make it out its disoriented. I open my eyes and the first one to speak is Buchou, "Ah I see you're awake. How do you feel?"
"I feel ok just a bit weird." I tell her.
"Thank maou you're ok Makoto-kun, I was so worried when you blacked." Kiba-kun says he's such a great guy always caring for me that's the part I fell in love with.
"...You're ok." Koneko-chan says to me in a neutral voice but filled with worry at the same time
"Yea Koneko-chan, I'm ok thanks for worrying but I'm alright really." I put on a brave face but it still hurts.
"Well go home for the night we can discuss things tomorrow after school. Everyone club activity's are over for the day go home and get a good rest." Buchou said in a concerned way.
[Yes!]
That was everyone's reply.
"Come on Makoto-kun I'll walk you home ok." Kiba-kun said and I nodded
"Yea thanks Kiba-kun"
"...I'll also walk you home" Koneko-chan said in her usual way.
"Thanks Koneko-chan."
I arrive home and after saying goodbye to Kiba-kun and Koneko-chan I grab something to eat and say goodnight to Obaa-san and head to bed.
I wake up in the morning and I feel something very soft in my bed sooooo softtttt I wonder what it is ... it just moved what the fuck is in my bed. I squeeze it and the thing in my bed make's a low moan a sexual moan might I add.
I bolt out of bed and let out a bloodcurdling scream as someone sits up in my bed...with long legs nice body a very nice body and red hair wait red hair oh no its Rias-sempai
"Ahhh good morning Makoto-kun, are you always this loud in the morning?" I stare at her at her curves noooo I'm not a pervert I'm not a pervert
"Ermmmmmm Bu-Bu-Buchou wh-why ar-ar are in my b-bed?" I say in a girlish manner then I realise I'm naked as well, I'm pretty sure I went to bed dressed last night so why am I naked? As if reading my mind Buchou explains.
"I'm in your bed because of all the energy left your body last night so I came to bathe you in demonic power to balance it out."
"Ok that kind of explains why your in my bed but why are you naked?" I say with a blush I mean what man wouldn't blush in a situation like this a naked girl in your bed and not shy about it maybe she's an exhibitionist who knows.
"I'm like this because its the best way to heal you skin to skin contact and I sleep nude anyway, otherwise I can't sleep hope you don't mind?"
"Not at all." I mutter.
We sit there staring at each other for a few more minutes until Obaa-san shouts to me seriously she picks now didn't she hear me scream before "Makoto get up your gonna be late!"
Before I answer she walks in and sees Buchou on the bed and just mutters "I'm gonna have great grandchildren."
Buchou and I sweat drop at this I mean I'm still a virgin right unless Buchou raped me in my sleep.
After I explained the reason Buchou was in my bed to Obaa-san to which she seems to have bought. I think Buchou used some kind of magic to hypnotise her otherwise she would never believe a story like 'we were sleeping naked to get to know each other, that's what kids our age do nowadays' and when Koneko-chan and Kiba-kun come we went off to school.
It was really what's the best way to describe it...oh yea awkward and I keep blushing at Buchou because she's hanging off my arm, I don't know why she's doing that but Koneko-chan is openly glaring at Buchou but Buchou is just brushing her off.
When we walk through the school gates people are staring at me with mouths agape I bet they where never expecting a freak like me to be with the most popular girl in school even the pervert trio are staring at us (A;N yes I'm keeping the pervert Issei but he wont become a member of Rias peerage and I wont bash him some people do but I wont he will mostly be a background character but will become important later on)
"Oh look at Rias sempai's oppai there big right guys?" Issei-sempai hyperactively says to his 2 friends one of them is called Matsuda-sempai, a pervert and a self proclaimed lolicon his nick names are perverted baldy and the sexual harassment paparazzi, he better stay away from Koneko-chan she's mine!
The other member of the pervert trio is called Motohama-sempai, he has the ability to calculate a females body measurements just by looking with nick names like perverted glasses and three sizes scouter he creeps me out more than the lolicon looking at women like that its disrespectful.
The last member of the pervy trio is called Issei Hyoudou-sempai he's the most normal looking of the trio, but he's still known as a huge pervert who wants to be harem king its a weird dream to have considering its illegal in japan...I think it is anyway.
I heard he spies on girls while there changing for gym or when there in the shower. The thing is he's not ashamed of himself there's something wrong with his head I'm sure but I don't hate the three of them because there the only people in the school besides the Occult Research Club and Student Council that don't bully me I just hate what they do.
Speaking of the Student Council the person in charge is called Souna Shitori she's really pretty and she seems nice enough I've only talked to her once in the library when we reached for the same book...a poetry book I think I can't remember now.
People say she's strict but she has to be she looks after the school after all and the rest of the Student Council seems nice but I've never talked to her beside that one time in the library and one other time along with Buchou but she seemed pretty nice to me and kind of cute. I also heard they got a new secretary I think his name is...Genshirou Saji he is quiet cute but he seems straight so no chance there.
Anyway back on topic when we go inside Buchou says to come to the club room after school we nod and she heads to class we also part with Kiba-kun and head to our own class.
I'm about to enter the class but then Koneko-chan pulls me back looking if she wants to say something so I wait until she composes herself and beings to talk "...Mako-kun can we talk about the other night at lunch...just the two of us?" I'm speechless I just nod and she goes into class and I'm left standing there looking like an idiot until the bell rings.
Class goes by like usual I get called for an answer and mess up and get laughed for it and true to her word as soon as class finished she grabs my head and practically drags me to our usual spot I expected to see Kiba-kun but he wasn't there maybe Koneko-chan told him to stay away wait he has my lunch as if she's reading my mind she hands me a bento.
"...I told sempai I want to be alone with you at lunch, so he gave me this to give to you."
"Thanks Koneko-chan! So what is it about last night you want to discuss?"
I reply to her trying to play it cool but failing miserably.
"...Lets talk after our lunch." I nod and we eat in silence she looks uncomfortable I guess whatever it is must be important.
"...I just want to say that I don't want to lose to Buchou or Akeno-sempai." Koneko-chan randomly says out of the blue.
"What do you mean lose to them? What would you lose them at? Are you in competition with them or something?" I honestly don't know what she's talking about.
She signs and explains.
"...Something like that I mean...I don't have a body like there's...they are more developed than I am...I wont lose you to them." I was again for the second time today was speechless before I can even comprehend what she just said she kisses me on the lips and leaves.
When I head back to class I see Koneko-chan again and I blush up a storm just thinking about her lips on mine makes me blush even more is it possible to blush this much while I'm thinking that she looks at me and blushes also I guess this means where in a relationship now I hope so anyway.
At the end of the day me and Koneko-chan head to the club room holding hands I might add people are staring but I don't care right now I see Kiba-kun and wave but he looks at us and walks away. I wonder what his problem is I haven't done anything that I know of I brush it off, I'll talk to him later.
Koneko-chan and I walk into the club room the first thing I notice is that Kiba-kun is avoiding looking at me and Koneko-chan we go to sit down and Koneko-chan sits on my lap. I could get used to this Akeno-san hands me a cup of tea and I say thank you as we all where doing our own thing Buchou walks in looks at us all but her eyes stop on me or more specifically Koneko-chan she glares for a moment before she starts talking to me.
"Makoto-kun I'm going to explain the ins and outs of life of being a devil and about the war of the three factions." Buchou starts to explain to me but I cut her off.
"3 factions?" I ask in wonder.
"Yes the 3 factions the Angels, the Fallen Angels and us the best race, the Devils hehe." ok she was all serious until she mentioned devils then she becomes serious again.
"There was a war between the 3 great factions with any of them coming on top we all lost manpower in what is called the great war...after fighting we all agreed to stop fighting but that doesn't mean where on peaceful terms with each other."
"I see so it was a power struggle then everyone lost there main forces and you couldn't continue fighting so you stopped but it still means you are still at war kind of correct?"
"Correct for the most part, where not at war right now but if one side starts to move we will be in a war." wow is all I can say that's scary if one false more from me and I could start a war.
"Before we do anything I want you to stick out your left hand." I don't bother asking her why and just do what she says "Now imagine the strongest image you can muster."
Ok I imagine naruto doing a tailed beast bomb "Now mimic that action."
"Do I have to its embarrassing!"
"Just do it for your Buchou."
For my Buchou?
I swallow my pride and "Tailed beast bombbbb!" I do as she says I see her eyes light up maybe she recognizes the move after I do it something appears on my arm.
"Wow what's this thing on my arm?" I ask a bit shocked
"That is what it is called Sacred Gear." Buchou said.
"Its a special power that certain humans possess. Its said famous people from history had a Sacred Gear." Akeno-san explains to me
"Yes well it seems you have two gears one on your arm and one in your eyes." my eyes what's she talking about
"Your eyes have changed, they both have a design in them." she said in wonder.
So I have one of these things in my eyes?
"Anyway I will look up your eye sacred gear for now you will be starting to hand out leaflets from today until I decide you have done enough."
Buchou said to me and I start nodding.
"Ok I'll be... wait... I'LL BE DOING WHAT!?" I shout out the last part but Buchou repeats again and says all new born devils start out by handing leaflets out so in the end I accept it but before I go Buchou comes over to me and whispers.
"That was from Naruto right?" I nod and she says in a sweet voice, "We will have to watch it together sometime."
I nod again blushing at the close contact I'm not used to people touching me and I leave to start handing them out and when I'm done I go home and ring Kiba-kun to ask what was wrong but he said nothing so I decided to go to talk about it tomorrow but there's something he's not telling me I'll have to find out I shrug and go to bed.
The next day I'm walking to school and when I turn a corner I bump into a person but when I get a good look at her she's really cute she's got long golden hair and seems to be a nun if the outfit is anything to go by.
I pick up her veil that was about to blow away and helped her up then I handed it to her and she smiles and says to me in a sweet voice "Thank you for helping me up and getting my veil. I'm new in town and I'm looking for a church, you see I've been relocated to serve this towns church."
I can't help but blush at how sweet she is, "I only know of one church in town, it doesn't look like it still up but I'll take you there!"
"Thank you so much you saved me from wondering around. I don't know Japanese so I couldn't ask anyone for help." she said
"Ahh its no problem come on lets go."
"Yes, thank you."
The nun girl and I walk past a park when we hear a cry and then the sister runs off but when I get there I see some kind of green light coming out of her hands it seems to be healing the boys knee "There there boys shouldn't cry over something like this."
When she's finished healing him he says thank you to her she looks confused so I say what he said and she smiles that should be illegal with how cute that smile is.
We continue in mostly silence with comments here and there and suddenly she grabs my face and I flush "Ermm what are you doing?" I ask shocked.
"Your eyes." oh I see she must think its weird. I was about to respond she squeals, "They are so beautiful its amazing!"
Well I wasn't expecting that she lets go and apologizes and I say its ok.
When we are within range of the church I start to uneasy then all of a sudden she stops and looks at me "Ah thank you for taking me here. How about you come in for tea ummmmm...?"
"Makoto Nakashima."
"Huh?"
She asks confused.
"That's my name."
"I see then my name is Asia Argento, I am pleased to meet you...please call me Asia."
"Ok Asia-chan! Likewise call me Makoto." I say to her and she responds.
"Ok Makoto-san would you like to come for tea?"
"Erm maybe next time I have somewhere to be." I lie to her.
"Ok. When you have free time please come and have tea." she says with an innocent face she's too cute at the same level as Koneko-chan.
"I will do Asia-chan definitely." I say then I walk away and look back one more time and she's there waving at me. I hope I get to see her again she's so nice but I think Buchou wont let me because of her being related to the church "Goodbye Asia-chan." I whisper to myself.
SLAP!
Buchou slaps me when I tell her about Asia I knew she would be angry but I didn't think she would slap me "You are forbidden to talk to her again!"
"But she's a kind person and why did you hit me?" I try to reason with her though it falls on def ears.
"I think its wonderful if you made a friend but you have to understand we can't be with friends with people from the church I'm only looking after you."
She didn't answer my question about hitting me.
"I understand Buchou." I said sadly I know Asia's not a bad person but Buchou has forbidden me from seeing her so I wont I will follow my master even if I don't agree.
""Are you ok?"" Koneko-chan and Kiba-kun ask in unison.
"Yes I'm fine guys thanks."
"Anyway we will be going on a hunt tonight we will be transporting by magic circle, Akeno do it."
"Yes Buchou." she replied to Buchou.
Akeno-san then takes hold of my hand and starts drawing on it must be for the magic circle it feels tingly and Akeno-san smiles at me "There you go." I reply with a nod of thanks before we all step into the circle.
When we get there it looks like an abandoned building then Buchou starts to speak "We will be fighting a stray devil be on guard also Makoto also I'll be telling you about the pieces each of us are."
I nod and we go in to the building
"Ok first I'll explain what each pieces do, I presume you know what chess is?"
I nod in reply.
"Ok first..." before Buchou could finish an ugly creature appears and it starts rubbing its breasts.
"I'm gonna stain you with blood the same colour of your hair!"
"Ok Makoto-kun I'll explain first Yuuto."
"Ok." she replies then Kiba-kun disappears from sight.
"Yuuto is a Knight and its aspect is speed you can't follow with your eye, combine with his ultimate weapon which is swords and he becomes the fastest Knight."
As Kiba-kun starts slashing the monster I can't help but think wow I can't see him at all but I sense where he is.
"Next is Koneko-chan." she walks up to the creature and stands there.
"Is she gonna be ok?" I ask Buchou.
"Yeah just watch." she replies then the monster crushes her.
I'm about to go help her but she just lifts it up and says "...Fly." in a monotone voice.
Thank god she's ok owww that hurt right can't talk to the guy upstairs, "Koneko is a Rook and its aspect is simple absolute strength and defence."
That sounds cool so Knights are fast and Rooks are sturdy.
"And lastly Akeno she is the Queen and her aspect is that she has the aspect of every other piece, so she's the strongest next to me and also she's the ultimate sadist!" Buchou said smiling.
I sweat drop at her I knew she was a sadist "Ara ara do you want more punishment? Can you take my thunder?"
As I'm watching this show I sense something coming for Buchou so I leap at her and the attack missed us
"Tha-Thank you." she said shyly.
"No problem! I'll always protect you Buchou!"
She smiles at this then turns her attention to the stray devil and asks "Any last words?"
"Kill me." it reply's
"Be gone." she unleashes a massive power from her hands in seconds the stray is gone from existence.
"Ermmm Buchou what power do I have?"
"That's simple as a pawn you have to power to promote." she said as I nodded.
"I see, thank you. That's actually good right?"
She nods with a smile decorating her beautiful face.
"Ok everyone well done! We did that in record time, everyone dismissed." she tells us.
[Yes.] we say in unison well my life is getting interesting and I'm loving every minute of it.
AN well that's chapter two and for everyone who has viewed and reviewed thank please continue to do so and if your wondering why makoto only has 7 pawn pieces is because I have a plan for the last one if you can guess then you get a virtual cookie lol and get to know some of the plot so review or pm and guess I think you will be surprised as to what happens to it and is as far as I know, its never been done well till next chapter Asia dies Makoto's anger
