Well, here we go again, another chapter for this piece of work...still waiting on someone to guess the firstborn thing correctly, but anyways, to all who are reading this, if you are reading my Highschool DXD fanfiction, FEAR NOT! I plan on posting the next chapter THIS Chrismas, so...yeah..An- OW! SON OF A- *Is hit upside the head a second time, this time a book slamming into the back of my skull and sending me into the computer screen.*

Ryan:Shut the hell up already! *Sigh* Demon-sama does not own Sekirei or Aliens Vs Predator, or anything under Aliens and predators.

The Fading Demon Ch. Three: Diablo Meets The Demon.

Kagari, otherwise known as Homura, was on his way home from the night of work, tired of all high hell. First, he had to stop the lightning twins from trying to destroy multiple un-winged sekirei, and then he had to come in because he had a few requests.

That's when he stopped, noticing a strangely large man carrying two duffle bags, and a military style bedroll bag over his shoulder. This man stood at least seven foot with long black hair, wearing a dark grey over coat with blue jeans and black and blue sneakers.

A wire going down from both sides of the ears towards the lower part of his over coat that only stopped a little past his waist, it was obvious the wire was connected to an IPod or MP3 Player or something.

From the back he didn't look half bad, but what brought this interloper sekirei's attention, was both the music, and something else, the gloves he seen this man wearing. Metal adorn a fingerless pair of, what looked like leather gloves, right at the knuckle and on the back part of the hand.

From what Kagari could hear, the music seemed a bit deep and more on the rock and or metal side, while it obviously seemed to hold a deep meaning to this person, if the body language meant anything. Kagari also noticed something else; it seemed they were heading to the same place.

Staying silent, Kagari decided to take this easy and just keep forwards forgetting about the man and just keep going.

Although, after maybe fifteen minutes of walking, Kagari witnessed the man stop dead in his tracks, they were on the same road and he looked over his shoulder. Eyes, golden and slit-like, but not really slits at the moment, a small smile adorn his ruggedly handsome face, the rough exterior with an obvious nice side, this sent thoughts to Kagari's mind that would make other men flip, which happened a few seconds later because Kagari was scolding himself for thinking of doing indecent things to that man, but when he was finally snapped from his thoughts, a voice rang out that, to the fire sekirei, was an angel in disguise.

"Hello, you wouldn't happen to live at Izumo inn would you?" the large man said gentle with a soft and gentle tone which sent blood rushing to Kagari's face for a small blush, and giving him a few shivers down his spine. Though, another thing was happening, Kagari, the fire sekirei, felt like he was literally lit on fire. Like someone just ignited his entire blood, so fierce of a heat that he started to shake a little, before quickly forcing his composer and smiling.

"Uh…yeah I do. Why?" Kagari asked curiously with the still normal smile on his face as he began to walk closer to this man.

"I was looking to see if I could probably speak to the land lady to get a room while go look for a job in the city." He explained, Kagari stopped next to the man and nodded in understanding.

"Ah, makes sense, how'd you hear about the inn though?" He asked curiously while both of them continued side by side towards said housing.

"A friend told me about the place, she said she walked past it a few times but never really checked it out. Seemed nice from what she said it looked like." A pretty little white lie coming from Ryan's lips, to keep himself out of trouble for the bad reputation of Karasuba.

"Who's this friend?" Kagari asked a bit more curiously, and this made the hunter smirk to himself.

"Girl name Tracy Williams, she's an American, but she moved here a while ago and finally got me to move out here to see what japan is like." He told another lie to the fire sekirei but hey, he needs a cover story.

"Ah, oh- I almost forgot, what's your name?" He asked curiously, and then a small smile developed upon the man's face.

"I'm Ryan, nice to meet you…"

"Kagari, it's nice to meet you Ryan-san."

"You as well Kagari, and just Ryan if you would, as much as Japanese culture is nice, I'm a lot more informal than that." He chuckled a bit sheepishly while rubbing the back of his head.

That made Kagari chuckle a bit and shrugged with a nod. "Alright Ryan..." He gave him a grin before leading the way and stopping in front of the door. "Well, were here…" Then the white haired man opened the door and spoke up. "Miya! I'm home and we have a guest!" Kagari gave a fair warning as they both walked. Ryan leaving his boots at the door out of the way same as his firry friend.

Ryan followed his newest friend into the living room before turning off his I-phone (He stole It.) so he wouldn't seem rude with his music playing in his ears while he spoke to the owner.

Miya walked in with that ever usual smile. "Why hello Kagari, and who's your friend?" She asked curiously, though, Ryan could tell there was something more behind her just by looking at her.

"Miya-san, this is Ryan, a friend who's looking for a place to stay while on the hunt for a job." Kagari told the Hannya of the North, better known as Miya Asama, a violet haired beauty who was obviously hiding something's, the black haired hunter could tell just by looking at that smile of hers.

"Yo." Said hunter just flicked his wristed in a lazy wave as he gave a small smile, gentle and kind. The youthful looking male cocked his head a bit to the right to show a bit more of himself, still having that lazy small smile though. "It's nice to meet you Miya-sama." He then gave a quick bow before taking a seat next to Kagari who sat down at the living room table.

"Fufufu…It's nice to meet you Ryan-san." She gave a slight bow back in reply before sitting down across from Ryan. "So you were looking for a place to stay while you find a job is that correct." He nodded with a smile.

"An old friend of mine told me about this place after walking past here a few times, Tracy Williams…though sadly she recently moved out of Toky- I mean- Shinto Teito…I seriously need to get used to calling this place that…" Giving a small sigh after talking half to her and half to himself before returning to his normal smile again.

"Ah well, don't worry about it. Well, if you wish, I can run you over the rules, and also, rent is 50,000 yen per month, this includes three meals a day, breakfast, lunch, dinner." To this, he simply nodded.

"I should be able to pay for that, but if say I don't always have the money, is it possible I do chores around the place in supplement?" he asked curiously, to which she smiled and nodded, Kagari though sat there quiet.

"That should be fine Ryan-san, but may I ask, why wouldn't you be able to pay?" She asked gaining a curious look on her face.

"Just in case I can't find a job by then…" Sighing he leaned forward a little. "I'm a little too deep in reality and understand finding a job here is going to be hard press due to the fact that MBI is buying up stocks and shares, I'm trying to find a job that, doesn't include them…Just trying to stay off the radar due to, well, I wouldn't say as a hate\hate relationship, more of a hate\oblivious relationship with the company." He explained, simply enough.

"I don't like how the company does their dealings, and a bigger thing is I simply hate Minaka for…I guess you can see we have a…past…or at least my family and his family do." He explained even further. To which Miya smiled brightly too, having someone else who deplores MBI.

"Well then that is understandable, so just in case you cannot find a job right away you're willing to do grunt work around the house. Fufufu, I never pegged you for the house wife type Ryan-san." To which the hunter, started chuckling a bit and shrugged.

"Eh, living alone for a while kind of makes you become that." He explained with a shrug before looking around, scanning the room quickly then looking to Miya again, smiling bright. "So, what are the rules I should know about?"

"Ah, simply rules, the meals are at set times so if you miss the time, you miss that meal unless there it was discussed earlier with me about a situation, were I may or may not save you some. Breakfast is at 7A.M, Lunch is at 12P.M and Dinner is 9P.M." She explained with that normal smile that would send shivers up lesser men's spines. But, Ryan was no lesser man.

"I understand Miya-sama…Anything else I should be aware of?" He asked politely with the respect of an elder to another elder. She nodded and continued with the rules.

"There will be absolutely no indecent activities under my roof." With that said from her, Ryan simply smiled and chuckled before nodding.

"I understand, and with my luck, that won't ever come to being close to happening…" He said keeping his tone filled with respect.

She nodded and continued to speak. Sharing the basic rules and other things, to which took about maybe ten minutes before the two plus the fire sekirei finished. Miya stood up and spoke one final time to ask a question. "So Ryan-san, shall you be staying for lunch?" This gained a halfcocked smirk on his face before he nodded.

"I shall Miya-sama. Thank you." With that, she was off to the kitchen to prepare lunch, that's when the two left in the room shared a look, a quick glance if nothing more, but that didn't stop it from being anymore…anymore…Kagari was so lost in thought at the moment, and his blush had grown exponentially, then he was shaken from his thoughts when he felt his shoulder being shaken gently.

"Earth to Kagari, hello? Anyone home?" Ryan asked with a quirked a brow, and a little worry in his voice, this made Kagari look to him again and blink before his blush died down and he looked away.

"Oh uh, sorry. Was lost in thought…" He started off before looking back to him. "So what do you need Ryan?" He asked curiously, to which his friend smiled.

"Mind showing me to my room? I want to put my stuff away before lunch." He asked Kagari who agreed on the spot before standing up and offering him a hand.

Ryan took the hand and both of them set off upstairs to room #210, or in laymen terms, the attic. Strange that he personally asked for it, and Kagari couldn't wrap his head around it but it didn't matter. Once they arrived, he got the door ladder of the attic and pulled it down by the rope, letting it slide down for Ryan, then they both went up and Ryan began to set his things down and quickly unpack. Kagari though didn't stick around, wanting to give Ryan some much needed privacy to unpack his things.

Little did he know exactly what he had in his bags.

"The Hunter, found his Den."

Welp, that's all I got on this one. Heh, Well, read, reread, review, comment, say you liked it, say you hated it, whatever floats your boat...Oh, and yes Pairing is decided, Mainly Ryan X Homura (Kagari) but there will be a small harem as well and a lot of other exciting things so don't worry.

Oh, and if your wondering, it's Male!Ryan X Herm!Homura (Do to the fact that technically, she, is a he, and he is a she, and it is a heshe\shehe. so...muhahhaha!) Like or not, I don't care.
