AN: Wow, I never expected that my story would catch a lot of attention from you guys and I'm just a fresh writer. Well who am I to disappoint you all? Now for some clarifications:
Q: Why Ichigo and Orihime agreed to go to DxD?
A: Well let's put it this way, since they have just gone from the war, they don't want an everyday reminder of the horrors of it. Surely if given time the fear will go away but they are just teens. Most real life soldiers who just came back from a skirmish or a full-scale battle need some time off or they need to be completely relieved of their duty to lessen the effects of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, common to those people who went to an extremely traumatic event).
Q: Pairings?
A: So far I'm going to stick with Orihime, it's so hard to add a romantic element to a couple, what's more if it was multiple? I'm open to suggestions, though I could only visualize that Ichigo could only have three girls, if not it is only Orihime.
Q: Rizevim Lucifer and Euclid Lucifuge?
A: Euclid will just make an appearance, as for Old Lucifer it will be far off, if I could make it possible.
Q: Power Rankings?
A: I do not know much about the Top 10 Strongest of DxD, I only know that Ichigo in full power is easily enough on par with the Heavenly Dragons, seriously why not? Ichigo is now the perfect being from his original world; he is the most powerful Quincy since he killed Yhwach, the most powerful hollow which is capable of destroying the Realm of Hell itself, and the most powerful Shinigami due to his monstrous Reiatsu. As for Orihime, I'll place her power to low-to-mid Ultimate-class and her high resistance to power concentrations.
Q: Timeline?
A: Timeline is the time where Issei and friends going to rescue Asia.
And one more thing, if I do turn my story to M Rating, do not expect lemons. As much as I like to read lemons, I am uncomfortable writing something like that because I feel I'm violating something or someone.
The Great Temple of Kyoto, Entrance
Before the two teens entered, they were mesmerized by the beauty of the temple itself. They may not know what the temple looked like in their world, so they just put the image of this one to that.
Another pair of Youkai guards can be seen; upon noticing them they opened the giant doors, clearly they know what happened before they went up. The two went further inside, anxious of what's to come and what will happen to their lives in this unknown world.
Unknown to them or the Youkai, a figure is hidden in the dense foliage of trees, patiently watching.
"So he's the one huh? This will be interesting…"
Throne Room
True to its name, the room is very beautiful and fitting for royalty, in Japanese terms of course. Ichigo and Orihime just observed everything around them with fascination.
A tall figure could be seen, with nine golden tails swishing back and forth. Beauty beyond mortal reach, this was Yasaka the Kyuubi. She is the handmaiden and current ruling figure here in Kyoto as the gods themselves cannot descend to the mortal plain or else chaos would ensure.
Yasaka herself was quite surprised by the guests, she expected old warriors from what she heard from Amaterasu-sama, and she didn't expect young teenagers.
'The war in their world may be worse than I thought it would be.' She thought grimly, young ones like them shouldn't bear the horrors of war.
"Excuse us Yasaka-sama, these are the two people that was sent to us by one Kisuke Urahara." A Youkai said, different from the Tenguu before, this one was a Tanuki, usually these type of Youkai are mischievous and are tricksters by blood. It is very unusual to see one as a guard.
"Ah yes, Amaterasu-sama already notified me of the person. You may now return to your previous duty." The Tanuki bowed to Yasaka and then to the two teens and left the room.
Silence was lingering for some moment, Yasaka herself was quite nervous. The way the orange haired teen's gaze to her was different, not a lustful one and it was quite refreshing, this one's gaze was one of curiosity and caution, a battle hardened one. On the other hand, the one with the auburn hair was very amusing to say at least, this one's gaze was of adoration.
'Well this young shouldn't adore me, after all, she is beautiful herself.'
Ichigo spoke up, "Greetings, my name is Kurosaki Ichigo, and my companion here is Inoue Orihime. We came from another world per say, as you heard the name Urahara Kisuke."
"Yes, as I said earlier Amaterasu-sama already notified me. What brings you two here in our world, specifically here in Kyoto?"
"Be as it may, we just went from a war. We – just want to forget all those things and settle down here. Urahara already spoke to Amaterasu-sama himself, though the terms of our stay are still unclear to us." Ichigo flinched after he finished, it seems some effects of PTSD are still lingering.
Yasaka and Orihime noticed that, Orihime just touched his shoulder while Yasaka herself resisted the urge to comfort Ichigo, she did not know why she acted like that.
"Well the terms are also unclear to me, why don't we move to some place that is comforting. We need to wait for some time before you can go up to the Heavenly Plains."
Yasaka then walked towards a door and slide it open and the two followed, though in their minds they were shock that they were going to Takamagahara.
Castle Gardens
Before anything else, the dark figure that has been tailing the two other-worlders has been silently relaying information to its master. Ichigo, for one, has numerous seals all around him same to Orihime.
A few minutes passed by Ichigo felt something amiss, Orihime noticed this and set her defenses up. Yasaka noticed a sudden rise of energy behind her, she look to the two teens and saw them looking around. She could see Ichigo left arm already forming a spear of sorts, as for Orihime she readied her three spirits and formed a barrier behind her while one was in front of her.
Yasaka didn't do anything g but she sent a pulse of energy in a kilometer, the figure suddenly appeared, disturbed by the energy pulse created by Yasaka.
The three of them are on full alert because the figure was purely made of darkness and shadows
"Tch, it seems I've been found. No matter I got what I came here for anyway." It gathered more shadows and sunk below the ground before the three of them could retaliate.
"What was that? I sense it was one of pure evil." Yasaka thought out loud.
"It seems we would need to postpone our trip for a short notice. We got some company snooping around here." Ichigo said as he calmed down his power, Orihime was still on guard.
"Be that as it may, I'll need to inform Amaterasu-sama about what has transpired here. For now, I'll just make you to not our guest but as the Shinto's official representatives of foreign affairs." Yasaka summoned some papers, with a feather pen.
"Huh? But why us, couldn't you just pick someone who you knew for a very long time with sufficient knowledge of the other factions?" Orihime inquired, worry on her tone. She doesn't want to deal with other supernatural entities in such a short time. After all, the two of them need to adjust first.
"I agree with Hime here, plus we need to adjust first in our environment before we make a decision." Ichigo narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, that would be the most logical and safest option. But due to the circumstances, such what has appeared before us, we need to act fast. As I said before, that Thing was of pure evil. Devils could be counted, but even they have some good in them. Tell me what did you feel in that thing?" Yasaka countered their argument.
The two paused for a moment, true enough, that entity that stalked them was pure evil. Something that even Yhwach couldn't compare. While the Quincy King is evil, he is not that kind of evil, more like if you based it in an RPG, Yhwach was more a Lawful Evil.
That thing, it was like facing your nightmares in real life, a primordial evil that haunted all men since the dawn of man.
They erased all thoughts regarding the entity, now they focused on what Yasaka was going to do.
Advantages:
-They could have the knowledge of other factions as fast as possible rather reading to books about them.
-They could see the world for themselves.
-They could find a place to settle down, Kyoto was just a first. They'll need another place in order for them to continue with their previous lives.
Disadvantages:
-Many unknowns.
-The entity could attack them
-For now, they have no one to trust except the Shinto.
"Well, I'll give you two some time to think about it. My mind was in a rush since that entity appeared before us. Give me an answer by tomorrow, for now you two should rest." Yasaka disappeared in a golden light while her handmaidens appeared before them, guiding them to their quarters.
Up above, Euclid saw what happened. The dark entity sent shivers upon his spine.
"I need to report back immediately."
Remember guys! I'm open for suggestions!
