Sorry for having not updated for a while, life's been hectic. On that note expect updates to come once or twice a week so I can make the story… not terrible… At any rate I've finalized the harems and they will be at the end of the chapter. I'm sorry that some suggestions were not able to be included because I didn't want to turn the females of this story into a bag of meat. Anyway on to the chapter!

Anything you recognize I don't own and High School DXD belongs to Ischium Ishibumi.

Gin's POV:

This is extremely awkward. I've never been the kind of guy to want any form of attention at all but now it seems as though every girl on the campus either wants to kill me for being related to Issei or the more popular alternative, wanting to screw me. It's a shame that I probably won't ever talk to them or if they manage that, trust them. Each and every one of them must see me as a perfectly cooked steak or else it would be impossible how much they're drooling.

Which brings the question why would anyone want to date a girl who just sees you as meat?

The other portion of the student body, the male side, is cursing me to death. Once again very awkward situation.

Suddenly I stop on the spot, a realization that has caused me complete and utter terror. Introductions. Maybe I can avoid it by saying I'm supposed to meet the student council president as soon as I can? Yeah, I can do that. On the bright side I saw a single female walking around that I feel is trustworthy. Why you may ask? She has my eyes. Eyes that have felt pain and abandonment from someone close. Maybe I should get to know her?

So I decided to go talk to her, see if she's like me and shutting herself off from others because of the past.

"Hello." I say after catching up to her. "May I ask if you know where class 2-1 is?"

"Up the stairs. First door on right." Judging by the soft tone she said that in I assume that my guess was right that after whatever it was that happened to her, happened, she became reclusive. With this in my mind and the decision that I will actually talk to her I reply…

"Thank you. My name is Gin Hyoudou, may I ask yours?"

"Koneko Toujou."

"Well Toujou-san, thank you again and I hope whatever hurt you doesn't make you end up like me." With that I left her in her shocked state and resumed my journey to my classroom.

20 Minutes later Normal POV:

As the students made their way to their seats to start the day the teacher knocks at the board to get everyone's attention and says "Okay everyone, today we are getting a new transfer student. I've been told he likes to keep to himself so if he says to leave him alone, I expect you all to follow suit and leave. You can come in now."

Taking this as his cue Gin walks through the door and begins to introduce himself. "Hello, my name is Gin Hyoudou, Issei's older brother. I like spending time with my family, playing chess and researching ancient mythologies. I'd prefer it if you kept your distance and don't ask any questions that are personal."

This created mixed reactions within the classroom. The boys were practically crying out of joy, and the girls were actually crying because he wasn't going to talk to them.

The teacher continued "Well then, why don't you go have a seat next to your brother so we can begin."

Gin replied to the statement politely but in his reclusive manner. "You'll have to excuse me I still have some business to take care of with the student council."

"Okay. You may go." Despite saying that the teacher really wanted him to stay so he could show the students what can happen if you try hard in your academics because he already knew of Gin's past grades in university.

At that note Gin bowed respectfully and left the room. On his way to the student council room Gin noticed a few things. 1: The sheer amount of noise coming from the classroom he just left. 2: There seems to be a strange feeling surrounding the old school building. He just chalked that up to it being the location of one of the devil's dens. 3: The student council room had the same feeling.

Arriving at the room in question he knocked on the door. "Come in." was heard through the door so he did just that. Upon entering the room he saw two beautiful women in the room. One of them was tall, had long black hair flowing down her back, brown eyes with blue rimmed glasses on and a stoic expression on her face. She also had some very… generous assets.

The other women also had black hair that was styled into a bob cut, a stoic face with magenta eyes and red framed glasses on. While not nearly as well-endowed as the taller women she was still very beautiful in Gin's eyes. She also had an air of intelligence and grace surrounding her.

The shorter one then spoke "Hello, you must be Gin my sister informed me of your coming here and told me to teach you more about being a devil. My name is Sona Sitri and the lady beside me is Tsubaki Shinra. We are the president and vice-president of the student council respectively. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Ah that's good as you already know my name is Gin Hyoudou I thank you for your assistance and it is a pleasure to meet a devil who actually seems to be relatively normal. Although I do ask you share with me how to survive the mystery that is your sister. You've put up with her your whole life you must have some secret to it?" Although he started that out respectfully he was basically begging at the end.

Unfortunately for him Sona replied in a similar begging tone. "I wish I did. I was about to ask you the same question." Doing something so out of character for the both of them that even Tsubaki was surprised. They ran up and hugged each other while crying anime tears.

Tsubaki just stood there not really knowing what was going on until she decided to clear her throat. Standing up and regaining her composure, Sona began "Ahem, sorry about that but please sit and call me Sona. We'll be seeing a lot of each other after all."

"Ah I see. Then call me Gin, you as well Shinra-Sempai." The taller of the girls blushed at that but quickly regained composure and said "Well then I may as well follow suit. Call me Tsubaki, Gin."

"Got it." He replied. They then began talking about the duties of new devils. Gin grimaced whenever he found out that he would have to hand out flyers until he got a familiar or Serafall said he could stop. They also discussed about Gin joining the student council which ended up being put at stake to a game of chess, which brings us to now.

Sona was, for the first time in chess, in a pinch. Gin had been dominating the game and has managed to corner her. The next move he will win and there's nothing she could do about it. Now for anyone else this wouldn't be a problem, you would just lose and he wouldn't join. However for Sona that wasn't all if she lost this and her parents found out it would be possible for him to end up as her fiancée. Seeing the distressed look on her face Gin says five words that she would have never expected in this situation.

"We'll call it a draw. I'll do devil work with you lot but I'm free to join whatever club I want. Is that acceptable?"

"Indeed, I can accept that. Also thank you. You have no idea what could have happened had we finished that game."

"And what might have happened?" Gin asked with clear curiosity for what could have made the calm beauty loose her composure like that.

"Well you see, I made a deal with my parents that I would get engaged with the first person to beat me in chess. It's a common thing among high class devils, arranged marriages that is, however my parents were reasonable enough to allow me to make my own conditions for it. Thus the whole chess situation. So I thank you for calling it a draw."

Hearing the pure sincerity in her voice Gin couldn't help but smile. "Then I have no regrets I hate it when people are forced in to something or even worse manipulated. That reminds me I'm looking in to Rias and the conditions of which her servants were reincarnated. Do you happen to know anything about it?"

"I do but before I tell you what I know would you mind me asking why you're doing this? I mean she did save your brother."

"For that I thank her however the conditions are just too suspicious. Not only are my instincts telling me not to trust any word she says but I also noticed her queen was following my brother on his date."

"I don't understand, why's that?"

"Sure you could chalk it up as being sent to protect him but then why didn't she step out as soon as the fallen angel showed up?"

Sona seemed to have just realised what he was getting at judging by the shocked expression on her face so he continued. "It's simple. She was told to let him die." This put a shocked face on Tsubaki who hadn't made the connection yet. So once again Gin continued "So after seeing another one of her servants, and I can tell based on their auras, I've seen a fairly consistent trait that her servants have experienced pain or abandonment in their past. Issei just got killed by his first girlfriend, Toujou-san I don't know exactly what happened but I could see it in her eyes, it's the same as mine she feels abandoned by a loved one so I am definitely going to help her. If this trend continues I'm going to get my brother out of there." The look on his face would have scared even gods had they seen it. It was a look of pure conviction the kind of look you see on people who will do anything to achieve their goal, and that was exactly what Gin would do.

Deciding it was time to get away from the subject Tsubaki decides to finally speak up, "So Gin, do you know what your sacred gear is yet?"

With a soft smile Gin answers "No, not yet. I'm sure I'll figure it out soon though. Apparently not even Sera-tan knows what it is. Something about it being undocumented."

If Sona hadn't already learned that everything about Gin was a surprise her jaw would have just had a nice chat with the floor… unlike Tsubaki… In light of this extremely rare situation Sona says "Then why don't we help you with that. Just close your eyes and think of the strongest thing you know and its strongest pose."

Doing just that Gin's mind drifted to an old Shinto legend he'd always been fascinated by, the legend of Orochi the eight headed serpent. However he didn't know any sort of position for that so he decided to pose as Susano (the mortal) did before striking it down, holding a sword up towards the moon. As he does this he begins to feel a strange familiarity in his hand. It felt like the broadsword he always used to have on himself except different almost as though it was alive. He opened his eyes and saw that in his hand there was a beautiful double-edged sword in his hand with a wide guard composed of eight snake heads that lead into a circle in the center, with what seems to be their tails acting as the handle and pommel. Each of the heads had a different symbol on it, they were fire, water, earth, lightning, wind, poison, light and the last symbol could have two meanings, darkness or curse. Gin then examined the blade itself. It was etched with the words "8-Tō no Kuchinawanoken". Then subconsciously he reads it out loud "The sword of the eight headed serpent."

So that's a wrap I finally got a new chapter out and in case you were wondering Gin's sacred gear has Orochi's soul in it. I decided to use the Orochi from Okami because I liked that he wasn't just poisonous and he had access to other abilities. Now for anyone wondering if this will be overpowered… no it will not. The only elements Gin has an affinity to are water, because he's a servant to Serafall, and another one. (Someone's bound to guess it in the reviews) Also I'm not making Orochi a dragon for two reasons. 1: In the original legend Orochi was as I said a serpent, which to me just means giant-ass legendary snake. 2: It was brought to my attention that there are SO MANY dragon gears already so I changed it up a bit. Finally I did remove some previously confirmed harem members just because I don't know enough about them to actually do anything with them. So I'll see you next time, Cya!
