The next morning I still couldn't wrap my head around what Akeno told me. Fallen Angels, Angels, and Devils? I would have thought she was just crazy, but that explained what happened with Yuma. So that means I'm a devil now and that red-haired girl I saw with Akeno the other day is my master? This sounds way too kinky to be true!
I headed off to school in hopes that I could keep myself distracted during the day. It was too much for my brain to process and it was starting to really hurt. As the day went on I was more and more distracted by school and I was almost able to get the whole thing out of my head. Almost was the key word, because as the last bell rang and school was officially over the class started to get chaotic. All of the girls started acting funny and I was confused until I saw him. I didn't know his name but I had heard about him from M&M. He was the pretty boy type that every girl wants to be with. I honestly can't stand tools like that, they just piss me off.
Weirdly enough he kept walking to me and then spoke up, "My name is Yuuto Kiba, but my friends call me Kiba." He extended his out to me as if trying to shake hands.
Him being here was starting to piss me off so I scoffed and said, "Yeah, who cares anyway?"
"That's quite an abysmal bedside manner you have there. Anyways I'm here because Rias asked me to take you to the club room once school was out." He replied with a smile.
"Eh, I don't really feel like it. Maybe some other time," I coldly answered. There was a murmur among the girls at that and I could tell that they were all starting to hate me.
"Okay Ise how about I rephrase this, Akeno will be there too," Kiba slyly remarked. That got my attention and I agreed to follow him. He laughed as if he knew he was going to have to resort to telling me that from the beginning. As we walked to the club room he started telling me about himself and asking me about personal questions. Maybe I was too hasty in judging him, he seems genuine. We arrived at the old school building where the club room was at. To be honest it looked very ominous and rugged. I can't believe that this used to be the school.
We were just about to walk in when I heard two voices talking. "Look you need to tell him sooner or later he deserves to know," The first girl said. "I know, but I just can't it's my fault and if he remembers then he'll resent me." The other voice replied. That voice was familiar, could it be Akeno? My questions were answered when Kiba opened the door to the club room. The two girls were in fact Rias and Akeno and they both looked as if they suspected we overheard their conversation. I was going to ask them what they were talking about but Kiba nudged my shoulder. I turned to look at him and he shook his head. I see, so whatever they were talking about I shouldn't know. Got it, I'll just play dumb.
"So Ise I see you made it," Rias stated with a warm smile on her face. "Akeno told you about what's going on right?" I nodded my head. "Good, so this is the Occult Research Club. We use this club as a front to do our jobs as devils whenever we need to. The members right now are Akeno, Kiba, Koneko, and myself. Do you know who Koneko is?"
"Uh, is she the "school mascot" that I've been hearing about?" I ask curiously. I still haven't met many people since I only recently started so I hope I got the right person.
"That's right," Rias replied. "She's a first year student here. She had some business to attend to, but she should be here sooner or later. Now to get to the point, I asked you here today to not only properly introduce you to the club members but also to get you set up with your first job. I need you to take one of Koneko's requests since she is overly booked. Before you worry yourself let me explain, all you have to do is make a pact with the client. A pact means that you make a deal with the client by providing them with a service in order for something in return."
"Okay, I think I get the idea," I respond. After some more in depth discussion about the jobs I'm supposed to do I head off to my first client.
"So, Akeno are you going to be alright with him here?" Rias questioned.
"Its fine I just need to keep my distance from him is all. I can't let something like what happened on the first day happen again. If I get too close to him then it'll bring up emotions from the past and I won't be able to hold myself back," Akeno replied as she broke down in tears.
"I understand, but someday he will find out and I feel like it would be best if it came from you. I think you're being too hard on yourself anyway he seems like a good guy, I'm sure he would forgive you if he remembered," Rias uttered.
The next couple of weeks went by and things were turning out great. When I wasn't talking to M&M I was with the club so I was always entertained. The only thing that bothered me was that it seemed like Akeno was avoiding me. If we were saw each other in the hallway she would quickly turn around and run in the other direction and she seemed to stand as far away from me as possible during club meetings. I don't know what I could have done to her. I feel bad though and I'm not sure what to do. Wait! Could she be mad about the whole crashing into her thing on the first day? That can't be it can it? I mean I apologized and she acted as if it was no big deal. But if that isn't the problem then what the hell could it be?
I was still pondering this as I was walking in the park completely lost in thought when I crashed into something. I looked up and saw an attractive blonde in a nun outfit. What the hell is this! Why do I keep running into hot girls like this! I guess that means I should pay more attention while I'm walking. The girl had fallen on her but so I walked over to her and held my hand out to her so that I could help her up. "My name's Ise," I mumbled nervously.
"H-hi, m-my name is Asia." She stuttered out. "Um this might seem like too much to ask but could you maybe show me where the church is? I'm new to the area and I have no clue how to get their."
"Huh? Oh yeah sure thing, I grew up in this town so I know where everything is," I proudly exclaimed. We made small talk the whole way to the church and I got to know a little bit about her. She's definitely the nicest person I've ever met. She tried to get me to enter the church with her since I went through all the trouble of showing her around, but I just couldn't. I felt a strange sense of danger when I looked at the church and it was honestly freaking me out. I guess it would make sense that a devil wouldn't be very prone to enter a church. After I turned her down we went our separate ways promising to meet again at some point.
Due how far out of the way it was to go to her church I missed supper. After looking through the fridge I noticed some leftover mac and cheese that we had had a couple of nights ago and popped it in the microwave. After finishing supper I decided that it would probably be best to go to bed as soon as possible so I started to get ready. I walked into the bathroom and slowly took off my clothes before hopping in the shower. For the first time in a while my mind was clear of thought and it was nice and peaceful. After drying off I went straight to bed and not too long after drifted off to sleep on my comfortable bed.
