New day, new chapter. I'm going to be honest with you. I did not expect this story to grab some serious attention. I mean in about four days after it was posted to you guys, I had over half the views than my other story (Which was over a thousand). This greatly surprised me and I would like to thank all who R&R, followed, and favorited this story.
But enough with the thanks, let the story continue.
"..." Talking

Bold text is Akai speaking through writing
In the Hunter's Dream
Arriving back to the dream realm, Akai walked into the old workshop with the black cat on tow. He was glad that the cat could come with him since he continues to love it. Which then he realizes that he doesn't even know what gender it was. Quickly grabbing it, startling it as well, he scanned over the its body to answer his question.
It is female.
Though Akai wondered if he was hallucinating because he saw the cat blush for a moment.
Putting her back on his shoulder, Akai started coming up plans about his next arrival to Kuoh. He swore that not only that group of young adults interested him, same goes for them, but he also felt he was being watched from other beings since one felt way too holy to be hostile, while the other has both holy and darkness.
Then again, he did make a scene of brutally killing three of those bat guys in a wide-open street.
Oh well.
Shrugging it off, Akai should have known his actions will attract some sort of attention in Kuoh.
It always worked in Yharnam. So why not the same in Kuoh?
Restocking his supplies and thought out a plan in case he encounters those spies, Akai use the portal back to Kuoh.
In the Heavens
Funnily enough, Akai did hit the mark about someone spying on him. An angel flew through Heaven to deliver an important discovery from Kuoh.
Arriving in front of a large building with golden pillars, the Angel burst through several doors until he burst through the doors leading to the council chambers.
"What is the meaning of this? Can you not see that we are in an important meeting!?" shouted one of the startled councilmen by the Angels sudden appearance.
"Peace, Leon. Let him speak since it is clear to see that he is out of breath." Said an Angel sitting on the head seat.
The recon Angel grabbed his bearings after a moment before bowing down before the Angel on the head seat.
The Angel on the head seat was a beautiful man (no homo) with long blonde hair and green eyes. His face shows a sad manner even though nothing sad is happening. Above him is a bright golden halo and gold wings on his back.
Beside him is a dropped dead gorgeous woman with long curly hair and a voluptuous figure. She was known as the Most Beautiful (and Strongest) Woman in Heaven.
They are named Michael and Gabriel respectively, sibling children of their fallen lord God and Heaven's Strongest Duo.
"M-Milord. I have c-come from my recon from Kuoh and…"
"Pace yourself my child. What is it that you found?"
After once again composing himself, the recon Angel looked at Michael with both excitement and fear.
"A God."
"Nani?" Everyone was confused on his answer. A God? Does he mean their dead Lord or…?
"A God that possess the power of our Lord. It felt like he came back from the dead!"
Silence filled the room. Until…
"EHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The council was filled with both joy and denial about their Lord's return.
Michael was astonished. He was there personally during the Great War to see God's death. And now there was an entity that possess a power of God himself?
He looked his left to see his sister about to spread tears of their father coming home. But then that begs the question, how did they not felt his return.
"Silence please everyone." Everyone quieted down though kept their happy smiles about God's return.
"I only wish to ask how come we did not felt our Father's sacred presence? Can you please elaborate us?" Michael asked.
This question made sense this if they, the Seraphs, can't feel his Holiness, how come the recon Angel did?
"Well Milord. I was not able to detect his presence immediately. I was scouting around the local churches in Kuoh until I found a man in a blood-colored coat surrounded by Stray Devils. When I was about to help, he uses some sort of scythe and killed all of them in one blow. That is when I felt his power. The power of God!" The Angel exclaimed
This perplexed Michael even further. Why would Father hide his power. Or even wear such clothing instead of his signature cloak. It doesn't make sense.
"As much as I would like to celebrate about his return, we should continue with the meeting. I suspect that Father may still be tired and is trying to hide his presence until he recovered his full strength."
The room was filled with protest, but then thought that God did suffered a fatal blow in the War and even he needs rest after recovering from said blow.
Reluctantly, the Council continue the meeting after sending away the Angel with a promise of reward.
"Now then. We were talking about the stolen Excalibur swords was we not?" Michael asked.
"Yes." A councilwoman said. "We were notified by the churches housing those swords that they were attacked by Fallen Angels led by the Angel named Kokabiel."
'Kokabiel? One of the Grigori's leaders? Does is mean Azazel wants the Great War to start anew? No. That can't be it.' Thought Michael.
"Do we have a way to get them back?" Michael asked.
"Well, the church said that they would send two of their most prominent Excalibur users to pursue the Fallen Angels. The latest place where the swords was sensed was in Kuoh. So, the church will send those two over."
'Kuoh again? First the entity with the power of Father, now the three Excalibur? Something is not right here.'
"We will give the church the green light but will send Angel reinforcements should the situation demands it. Agreed?"
"Hai!"
"This meeting is adjourned."
As the Council left the room, both Gabriel and Michael remained.
"Do you think Father has really returned?" Asked Gabriel. She hoped it was true since losing Father hit her the most out of all the Angels.
"I don't know. We were both there when Father died. So, it seems so surreal that Father is still alive."
Both remained silent. Skeptical, but hoped that their Father is still alive.
In the Grigori HQ
Once again Akai hits the mark as an Angel with dark wings rushed through other Fallen Angels to Azazel's room about her patrol in Kuoh.
'Damn it all. I have multiple reports stating that the observation team I sent to Kuoh went rogue and killed the Sacred Gear user Issei Hyoudou. Only for him to be reincarnated into and Devil. What's worse is that they tried to take a sacred gear from a nun from the church, killing her in the process. *sigh* I going to have offer up a huge apologize for this. Where is booze and boobs when you need?' Thought the man in question.
He is a middle-aged looking man with golden bangs on his black hair and have his 12 black wings showing from his back.
This is Azazel, Head Governor of the Grigori. And today is not his day.
Before he thought more about the matter, the recon Fallen Angel burst through the doors, startling him.
"Azazel-sama! Azazel-sama! I have a major report!"
"What is it?" Said Azazel, intrigued about what made her so out of breath. Well beside being in the presence of the "Harem Lord" he named himself as.
"I-I-it was…*cough* it was a presence of a God! A God in Kuoh!"
"Slow down. What do you mean a God?"
"When I was in Kuoh to see this Issei Hyoudou under your order, I sensed a major display of power nearby. When I checked, I saw a human taking down over ten stray devils in under a matter of seconds!"
This really interested him. A human capable of not only slaying strays under seconds, but with the power of a God? He must know more. Being a fanatic of Sacred Gears, this one could be first tier Longinus or even greater!
Azazel dismiss the Angel from his chambers before calling his secretary.
"Hey, get me my personal loyal subordinates. Tell them I have a mission for them." He hanged before cracking a slight grin. Maybe he should personally go to Kuoh himself to find more Sacred Gears.
O.R.C Clubhouse
"They want us to do what?"
"A cooperative stray extermination mission. Apparently, this Devil is not in the records of Strays. However, this "Beast" they called killed over fifty Devils and now it is sighted here in Kuoh."
Rias, Sona and their respective peerage gather in the Occult Research club to find out they were all ordered to find a Beast that has been killing other Devils.
"Seems a bit too much for both of us to deal with this one thing."
"Yes. But safety in numbers. Besides, we may get to see the mysterious hunter that has been appearing around town."
"Agreed. Everyone, prepare to move out!"
"Hai!"
In the outskirts of Kuoh
Akai and Kuno (the cat he named in his head) were heading down a dark path to an abandon mausoleum. He doesn't know why, but he felt the need to kill whatever it is in there. After hours of walking to this strange vibe, Akai opened the mausoleum doors. It was then he saw a familiar sight during his journey in Yharnam.
Blood. Blood and bodies everywhere.
WARNING! INTENSE BLOOD AND GORE!
(Play COD World at War Main Menu)
The scene is what you called a serial and cannibalistic killer's work. The bodies were all mutilated and chewed apart. None of the bodies were even recognize as a human being. They are all a mess of blood, organs and flesh.
What's worse was the smell.
While Akai is used to the smell of death, Kuno knows what the blood belongs too with her heighted cat senses.
All of them was literally a combination of Devils, Angels, Humans, and Fallen Angels.
Whatever it is in here, it is truly a horrible monster.
Akai continued through the massacre these sad souls and searched for the one who did all this.
He didn't need to get far, because the monster was leaning down before the altar. Almost like it was kneeling before it.
Only to realize, is that the monster was eating a corpse of a dead human.
Akai approach it slowly to backstab it for a quick advantage.
CRACK
Only to step on a bone, alerting the monster. The monster then turned around, which then petrify Akai since he knew what the monster is.
The Blood-Starved Beast
A werewolf that consumed many beings and its own inner flesh reveal to the world to grow terror.
But the beast was supposed to be in Old Yharnam. How did it get here?
He had no chance to answer his question, since the beast roared before charging straight at him.
(End COD WW)
(Play Bloodborne ost- Blood-Starved Beast)
Quickly apologizing to Kuno, He tossed it over the bodies before taking the tackle from the beast. Rolling on his back to be on his feet, Akai pulled out the blade of the scythe and run beside it. He made several cuts on its ribs before backing away from it.
The Beast roared from its injuries before once again charging at Akai with a savage vigor. It swung its arms and claws frantically, making it difficult for Akai to step in a dish out some quick hits. The beast then gathered on all fours and rushed to Akai to tackle him down.
Akai quickly rolled away from it and smirked when the beast crashes itself on the pillar. The beast became enraged and with impossible speed even for him, it grabbed him and took chucks out of his shoulder.
"AAAAAGGGGHHHHH!"
Akai screamed in pain. He plunged his sword into its face, forcing it to let go of him and give him time to use the blood vials to heal himself.
Heh. Even to this day, he still doesn't know how injecting more blood into himself heals all injuries.
Akai then discovered that he used his last blood vial since the beast's tackle removed the remaining blood vials to shatter.
Cursing to himself, Akai charged at the still blinded beast and begin slashing on its legs.
SLASH
"RRRRRRRRROOOOOAAAGGHHHH!"
The Beast was in pain and in its small dose of adrenaline, it grabbed Akai again and REALLY took a bit out of him.
"GRRRAGH!"
Having even of this, Akai pierced its head. Letting go of him, Akai then attach the blade into the staff part of the weapon, making it into a scythe. He slashed upwards on the Beast head, knocking its upper body skyward. Akai then took this advantage to skewer its chest with his own hand and ripped out its heart.
He then crushed it.
The Beast roared with its final breath before dropping onto the floor dead.
(End Boss theme)
Breathing heavily, Akai rested on a nearby pillar. Kuno then appeared beside him, a worried look on her face.
Akai's body look like it was in a slaughter house. Blood was on his clothes, slash marks on his back, and what's worse was the huge bite mark over his chest.
Akai knew he would be teleported back to the dream realm, but he would be forced to leave behind Kuno. As he was about to lose consciousness, he heard voices and a shade of red hair.
"Huh? Not bad for a human. Taking down a monster is one thing, but killing it after ripping its own heart out? Serious balls." Said a man with a pale trenchcoat over a dress shirt with a matching ascot, black pants and shoes, and a black fedora.
"Oh shut it Dohnaseek. You wouldn't last five seconds with that thing." Snarked a blonde girl with twintails and wearing a gothic Lolita.
"Enough you two. Need I remind you that Azazel-sama sent us to observe him. Though I got to admit, he can put up a fight. What do you think Raynare?" Asked a tall buxom woman with long, navy hair that obscures her right eye. She wears a violet trenchcoat with its top opened to expose her chest and cleavage.
The woman she asked wore S&M outfit since it left no room to imagine with a slender body, large bust and long black hair down to her hips. She has violet eyes as well.
"He's better than he appears to be. I can get why Azazel-sama had an interest to him. Better than that pervert Issei Hyoudou."
The four were named Dohnaseek, Mittelt, Kalawarner, and Raynare. Azazel's most loyal troops to him personally. They were sent by Azazel to observe Akai and report back to him about his power.
"His power does rival to a God. What interest me the most is that he can heal himself by injecting blood into him." Mittelt commented.
"However, the beast tackled him and broke most of those blood vials. I thought he was a goner but he surprised me by killing it even with fatal injuries." Dohnaseek said.
"Uh oh. I think he's going to die. Should we help him?"
"We can't. That is Devil territory and we can pass unless we have a good reason. Besides, it looks like the heirs arrived." Kalawarner said before pointing at the group of Devils in front of the Mausoleum.
"You think he will turn?" Mittelt asked.
"Doubtful. His power is way too much for a simple Devil piece. I think they will let that nun heal him then ask him questions." Dohnaseek answered.
"Well we just have too asked those similar questions next time. Come on guys, let's report this to Azazel-sama." Raynare suggested.
The Fallen Angels soon fled the scene. Same goes a group of church spies and Angel recons.
3 hours later. ORC Clubhouse
GASP
Akai awoke from his sleep. He then looked around to see he was not in hellhole or in the dream realm. He then spotted a set of hazel eyes staring at him.
He stares back.
…
…
…
…
Does this seem familiar to him?
"…Your awake."
'Obviously' he thought.
"…I will inform Buchou. Stay here."
She then left the room. Akai breath in and out before looking over himself. The wounds were gone and his clothes was mended. Hopefully, no one removed his face mask, but he still has it on.
The door then opened and Akai was shocked to see familiar sets of faces from a few days ago, Plus, with new faces as well.
Although to be honest, he was even more shocked that the room could fit over 15 other people without feeling a little too tight in space.
"I see your awake now." Said the red-haired girl.
'Again obviously' He thought, but just nodded his head.
"Well I would like to introduce myself. My name is Rias Gremory, President of the Occult Research Club and King to my peerage." Rias gestured to the rest.
"Name's Issei Hyoudou the Pawn. No hard feelings about our last encounter, right?" Issei asked. Akai shook his head, making him breath of relief. Pawn? As a chess piece?
"My name is Kiba Yumi, Knight. I would hope we would get along." The blond-haired girl bowed. Akai blush a little but didn't need to worry due his face mask. Also yep, refers themselves as chess pieces.
"AraAra. My name is Akeno Himejima the Queen. Let's get along, shall we~?" Akai not sure why, but he felt both fear and excitement from her.
"Ano…My name is Asia Argento…I was reborn as a Bishop…N-Nice to meet you, sempai!" PROTECT HER. HIS WILL DEMAND HIM TO PROTECT HER!
Wow. Where did that come from? Also, what did she meant by Reborn?
"…Koneko. Rook." Super blunt girl. Right. Got it. Noooo problem.
Akai stands up before the Hunter's bow to them.
"AraAra. So polite." The others agree. But then Issei had a important question to ask him.
Going beside him, Issei whispered to him.
"Hey buddy. Quick question. Do you like big or small boobs."
Akai had no answer to that question since one: He was ghost. And two: EVERYONE IS TRYING TO KILL HIM. WOMEN INCLUDED.
He shrugged as his answer.
"NAAAAANI!? What do you mean you don't know!? This is a serious man to man question!"
Everyone else in Rias peerage giggles on his antics. Except for…
"Pervy Issei."
Yeah her.
"Now Now Issei. Everyone else didn't get to introduce themselves."
"…Hai Buchou."
Stepping up is a young woman with a slim figure, black hair in a short bob cut and sharp violet eyes. "My name is Sona Sitri, King of my Peerage and President of the Student Council."
Next to her is a tall girl with hair all the way down to her knees and sharp brown eyes. "My name is Tsubaki Shinra. Queen and Vice-President." Akai really needs to know if those two are siblings because of their strict attitude.
Up next is a young girl with white hair and green-blue eyes. "Hello. My name is Momo Hanaki. Bishop of Sona's Peerage." 'Ok. Nice girl.'
Next is a slim girl with a long brown hair ending in two short braids and matching eyes. There is also a blue headband on her head. "My name is…ano…Reya Kusaka. Bishop. I-I hope we get along." 'Soft but polite. Can work with her.'
Next is a girl with reddish-brown hair and brown eyes. She has swept bangs and a single hair sticking out on top. "Yahoo! My name is Tomoe Meguri! Knight! Nice to meet you. Also, can I have a look on that awesome sword you have!" she said with star in her eyes.
'Note to self: Don't sow her the inventory I the workshop' He thought with sweat drop.
"Calm down Tomoe. You can ask him later." Said a girl with blue hair and eyes. She has a tomboy appearance. "My name is Tsubasa Yura. Rook." 'Uhhhhhh…Is it wrong to assume she looks more like a boy than a girl?'
"YO! The name's Genshirou Saji. Consumer of four pawns. And I gotta say, you don't look so tough to me." Said arrogantly by a man with short blonde hair and grey eyes. 'Greaaaaat. A jackass. Just what I needed.'
"Mou stop bragging Saji-kun. Hey there. My name is Ruruko Nimura. Pawn. Let's be friends!" Said a teenager girl long brown twin ponytails and green eyes. 'Hmmmm…'
Like what he did to Rias's group, Akai did the Hunter's bow to them.
"Now that our introductions are out of the way, we would like to know who you are and why are you here?"
Akai was about to response, but then he realizes he doesn't like to talk much do to his…voice.
Quickly grabbing his notebook, he wrote…
My name is Akai Tsuki. I am a Hunter. Blood Hunter to be precise.
"Hmm. And what does bring a blood hunter here in Kuoh?" Sona asked.
Hunting down some more prey after the night of the Hunt in Yharnam. Don't worry. I only hunt beast. Well, used to…
"What do you mean used too?" Asked Kiba, not liking what did he meant.
Sorry. That's too personal. By the way, where is Kuno?
"Kuno? Who's that?"
My cat. She has black fur and…
Suddenly he felt pressure on his right shoulder. He looks and found Kuno on his right, nuzzling is neck. Everyone was startled from her sudden appearance.
Nevermind. Anyway, I would like to thank the ones who saved my life.
"Well. I was the helped healed you. But Asia was the one who did the job." Said Rias.
Oh! Then, thank you Asia He wrote before giving her the respect gesture.
"Oh! It was nothing. It just that you were injured and I wanted to help you." Exclaimed Asia. Embarrassed by Akai's kind gesture.
"By the way, you write instead of talking. Can you not speak?" Issei asked.
No. I can talk. I just prefer to be silent and write down my response.
"Well anyway. We just want to know who you are. And more importantly, did you know about that beast you killed? We were contacted by our governor about this beast killing many of we Devils, yet you killed it by yourself."
*Sigh* It was a beast named the Blood-Starved Beast, it was supposed to be in old Yharnam. How did it get here is what I don't understand?
"Old Yharnam? What is that place and where is it?" Sona aske. Intrigued of this new monster and place.
Old Yharnam is an abandon town only home for beasts. As to where, no one in this world can find it.
"And yet you can?"
He nodded.
"Ok. Thank you for the information. Now, Akai? Do have anywhere to go or even live?
I live in place far away from here. When I arrive here, I have nothing else to do other than hunt.
Sona narrowed her eyes about where he lived.
"Well if you like, why not come attend Kuoh academy?" Rias proposed.
Everyone was shocked about Rias's proposal. It seems she really wants him to join her peerage. Of course, Sona as well.
"I agree with Rias. We can get you in since it is the start of the spring semester and you looked like you can fit in with the third years."
Akai thought about before writing Can you give me time? I am still exploring this town. I'll answer your question soon. I promised!
The Devils agreed to that since he only arrives in Kuoh and they only met him yesterday.
"I see. Well we can all go home. But before I do, Kuoh is both Gremory and Sitri territory. If we catch you doing something harmful to us or the innocent humans, we will deal with you" Sona said sharply.
Unfazed, Akai nodded.
Well then, I shall take my leave. Good bye. Akai then left the room.
"You think he's telling the truth?" Rias asked
"He has a lot of mystery sure. But he does not look like one to lie. Especially while he was writing instead of talking, he kept a calm composure. However, there are things he wishes to keep secret. And I will personally discover it myself." Sona answered.
Things will be a lot more complicated with Akai on the playing field.
Damn that was a lot of words. Longest chapter yet. So, as we can see, Akai bought the interest of all three factions. Will he side with any of them or not?
Also, yes there will be Bloodborne bosses in the DxD world. Cause why not. I will take any boss suggestions from Bloodborne that should appear in this fic. Makes more fun for me to write about them.
Also, should Akai attend Kuoh academy? Let me know.
And of course, the Harems
Akai: Kuroka, Akeno, Raynare, Kalawarner, Sona, Tsubaki
Issei: Rias, Asia, Irina, Xenovia, Ravel
NOT THE FINAL SAY! Still request for more harem request people since this is going to be a long story.
R&R and PM guys. Peace.
