AN: Alright guys, I'm terribly sorry for the delay on this chapter, but due to some huge family matter; My mother passing away due to cancer I will be writing a lot slower, and it might be a while until another chapter I will be still writing as best and fast as I can to post. And as to the new readers I have been getting, welcome. And Enjoy.
"Alright ready for the first day at school Yada? And please..don't call me Lord Seno while we're there, I guess since my status it's a reflex and I can accept it when we're at home but not when we're at school alright?" I said as I buttoned up the white long sleeve shirt under the black blazer of the school's uniform, looking back at her blushing as I catch her pulling the skirt up over a pair of black lace panties.
"Yes sir I understand, but about the other's members of your peerage, do you plan on reincarnating humans?" Yada asked turning to face me wearing only her skirt and a bra. Looking over at her shrugging as I try to ignore her standing in just her bra as best I can.
"maybe, or maybe not I'm not sure yet exactly but right now we have to focus on school alright." I said before picking up my bag from the end of the bed before heading downstairs to eat breakfast with my family. As I got to the kitchen I smile watching my Aunt Rias and Asia laughing and enjoying the morning sun while making pancakes. "Morning everyone, smells good, I could smell those pancakes and bacon from my room, bet Yada is gonna flip trying the breakfast made from the sister of the Devil King". I said sitting down beside Kiba and Xenovia, once again Xenovia was breastfeeding their son, shrugging as I just dig in grabbing a piece of toast and taking a bite.
"Where is Yada anyway? Figure she would have come down with you." Rias said as she put a plate of pancakes on the table." I just shrugged taking another bite of toast.
"Ya well, she was still getting dressed when I was heading down here, she will probably be a few more minutes," I said turning to look towards Kiba. "I must ask, any ideas on what I should do about my own peerage, Yada asked me the same thing and I'm honestly not sure of what I should do," Kiba just shrugged as he took a sip of his coffee.
"That is all up to you with me, Xenovia, Asia, and your father we were all human. However your mother, Koneko, Irina and Rossweisse they weren't human and yet they too became devils so it's not just humans that can be made into devils." He said picking up the newspaper his brow furrowing. "Seems strange deaths are being reported in the news, but humans killing each other is nothing new... it's not something we need to worry about, just be careful Seno when you're out in town for a while hopefully the police catch whoever is doing this." Looking at my uncle I couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't worry It's not like regular humans can do any serious harm to me, besides with the Boosted Gear I can defend myself."
"Seno you must know that there are some humans who do have Sacred Gears as well, so if this killer out there is using one, even you could be in danger, or even the whole Family so do try to be careful." Looking at Kiba I just nodded, it was clear whatever was happening was clearly on his mind.
"Alright, I will take your advice and keep on the lookout for anything, besides if whoever is doing this targets Yada, or anyone in my family I will make sure to protect everyone," I said and I felt a tap on my shoulder, turning my head to see my Aunt Irina and her daughter Sayuri. Sayuri was almost identical to her mother, the only difference between her and her mother was her short deep brown hair from dad.
"Always the brave boy aren't you dear Seno, maybe it's the dragon within you that drives you to that protection, just like your father," Irina said smiling her long twin pigtails cut slightly shorter then she normally has it. " Or maybe it's just genetic, but of course it's hard to tell since both you and Issei both have the dragon within you."
"It's nothing, besides Aunt Irina everyone here can protect themselves, specially Rias and Mother, if anyone tried to attack them out at night I'm positive they would be regretting that decision," I said as Yada entered the room wearing the school's uniform.
"Oh there you are Lord Seno, your Aunt Koneko was looking for you, so she sent me to find you." I looked at her curiously but I nodded.
"Alright, I will go see what she wants, why not eat some of this amazing food, and enjoy my family's cooking, trust me you will love it," I said as I stood up before stopping to turn to my aunt Irina. "By the way. I have been meaning to ask. Why were you called off to heaven? Is something wrong?" Irina just looked back at me smiling as always.
"Oh no, just a routine update, though I will admit they have been asking for them much more frequently, oh well, maybe I'm just imagining things. But go before Koneko gets mad, cause last time you kept her waiting remember what happened?" She said giggling, I just rolled my eyes before grabbing a piece of toast and heading to find my aunt. As I headed through the house looking for my Aunt Koneko before finding her in the library.
"Hey Koneko Yada said you were looking for me, what is it? I don't really have that long until I gotta head to school." Heading into the library Koneko was sitting at a table helping her daughter Yuko with some of her homework; Yuko's short white hair framed her face, bangs split in the middle, her Neko ears showing since she was comfortable with who she was.
"Hey Seno, yes I wanted to talk to you about Shiria, if she's anything like her mother was, well then she might be after the same thing." Koneko as she packed up Yuko's things in her bag before guiding her out of the room.
"Thanks for the help mom, and See you at school Seno, oh and Tell Yada to meet me in front of the school during lunch I wanna get to know my brothers Bishop," Yuko said as she headed for the front door. Watching her leave I shrug before turning to face Koneko curious of her advice.
"What do you mean? She seemed perfectly normal to me, and besides what exactly would she be after from me? The Boosted Gear? I mean I guess that's all I have."
"No Seno, you carry within you the genes of a dragon, and that's what her mother was after before, and if she's anything like her; she might be after the same thing, I just want you to be careful around her," Koneko said and I just looked at her surprised.
"Oh now I get it, don't worry I will keep an eye on her but I gotta go to school, I will see you after school," I said before heading downstairs. Meeting my family downstairs, Yada standing with them as well as Yuko.
"Oh and Seno, I went ahead and let the principal know who's coming so you have been given the go to use the old school building as your personal use," Rias said before handing me my bag.
"Thanks, that's the building you used right? I remember seeing it in the old photos of everyone with dad." I asked heading towards the door.
"Yes, also my brother said he found a few small buildings for the request you made him, he left some file on them in the old school building, so look at them when you get the chance." Nodding I hugged my aunt and the rest of my family before heading outside, heading towards school.
"Let's head to the office first, should probably go and talk to the principle if Aunt Rias talked to him, then he must be a devil like the rest of us; might as well Introduce ourselves to him," I said looking towards Yada, she just nodded as we walked through the streets. "Just remember Yada, apparently there's some killer roaming around, and Kiba thinks they might be using a Sacred Gear, if that's true then they might be even a threat to us, so be careful, only trust family as well as myself and anyone I say, got it?" I asked her as we headed down the road, the school building visible down the road.
"Of course Lord Seno, I will keep a good eye on you, and myself, after all as your bishop I must help my master," Yada said stopping to bow to me in the street, a few people looking at us with wonder and disgust.
"Yada thanks but please, I already told you not to call me Lord in public, besides bowing to me might give people the wrong impression," I said blushing as she stood up, her breasts bouncing a bit and I couldn't help but stare a little.
"I'm sorry Seno, I can't help myself, you are my master after all." She said just smiling and I just shook my head before heading down the road.
"I understand that but please do try, especially when we're in school I don't care as much when we're at home or at the old school building when we're alone but please in public or at school is a no," I said as we started to approach the school. "And remember don't let anyone know were devils, only the principle knows what we are, as well as Shiria, and Hiori."
"Of course Seno, I'm sure to keep quiet," Yada said as we reached the gates of the school, a lot of the kids looking at us, I just shrugged before heading into the main school building and heading towards the main office. After heading inside I helped register Yada as well as asking the secretary to talk to the principle for a moment, mentioning who my mother was she just nodded smiling, her thick-rimmed glasses framing her face well, fixing her hair around her ear her bangs parting on either side of her face.
"Oh so your Akeno's Son are you, yes I see you have her eyes, and Issei's hair." She said and I looked at her surprised. "You knew my parents?" I asked her curiously. Setting my bag down beside me as I leaned against the desk.
"Oh yes, we all went to school here, of course back then Issei wasn't exactly the man he was before, and he wasn't even as great a devil either." She said which caught me completely by surprise.
"Wait.. you know about that.. but how.." I looked at her, my hands clenching wondering how the women knew about my family being devils.
"Oh did Rias not tell you? My name is Sona Sitri, sister of the great devil king Leviathan, and a close friend to Rias and her house." Sona said as she looked at me and at Yada. "And who might this girl be."
"Oh well, since you know who I am I guess I should properly introduce Yada, she's my Bishop who used to work as a maid for my uncle SirZechs," I said gesturing towards Yada still filling out paperwork for school.
"Oh, I see, well Saji will definitely want to speak to you two, please go right inside," Sona said before gesturing towards a door, nodding me and Yada head inside to find a tall blonde male sitting in a large chair.
"Oh hello, you must be Seno correct, I can see a bit of Issei in that hair of yours, but you certainly have your mother's eyes and I can tell, her magical abilities as well, though I'm sure you can surpass her at her best with ease? The man said placing a stack of envelopes on his desk gesturing towards the two chairs in front of his desk. "My name is Saji, and I'm a devil as well, so no need to worry about keeping your secret here, most of the staff here are actually devils, since a lot of children of angels and fallen angels started to go to this school this year so of course a lot of the students here can use magic, but some of the students are still just humans, we do our best to keep students who can use magic and those who can't separate; just in case someone, of course, gets mad and things get out of hand." looking over a few of the files Saji looks over to Yada. "And you must be the one Rias mentioned, Yada correct? How is our devil king? I hope he is doing well, next time you see him tell him I'm grateful for the opportunity to run this school this year with students with both magic and without together, maybe by doing this, we can bring people together.
"Oh I will sir, as for Lord Zechs he's doing well I believe, haven't really seen him since leaving to the human world, I must say It's curious to hear that children of both angels and fallen angels all go to school together."
"Well you see dear since the three great powers ended all the fighting and started to understand one another It was easier to see how little different we are from one another. Sure both angels and fallen angels both try to guide humans toward God but with their own methods, as for us devils well, we do what we want." Saji said before looking up at the clock. "But you two should head to your homerooms, classes start soon oh and Seno, Miss Akeno asked me to remind you to not neglect your studies and focus more on the girls here, guess she doesn't want her son to act like his old man. Saji just laughed looking at me. "But I can tell just by looking at you, and Yada here, that you're exactly like Issei; I just hope that this world is ready for the new Red Dragon Emperor." Nodding and chuckling a little I headed out of Saji's office, the gem appearing on my hand and began to glow.
" Well it seems that you won't have to hide who you are here Seno, so I must ask a question if you don't mind," Ddraig said and I looked down at my hand, curious.
"Sure Ddraig ask away after all were partners right? If I can't answer your questions then were in trouble." I said laughing a little, Yada looking at us curiously as well giggling at my remark.
"Well if your classes are full of angels or fallen angels, then is it possible to manifest the gear, let them know that you now possess the Boosted Gear, and maybe that might attract people who could fulfill your desires of a peerage."
"Well while that does sound like a good idea, however Ddraig I'm not so sure that might be a good idea, we don't know them yet, and if I show off, might get the wrong impression of me... I don't exactly want to be the center of attention because of the Sacred Gear, and I certainly don't want to attract the wrong kind of attention either." I said before heading down the hall.
["Yes indeed, that does make sense, but remember who you are Seno, as the son of Issei I'm sure some of them already know who you are."]
'Not really, last few years I kept to myself, didn't really try to make friends so it was easier to not pretend to be human, but if this year is as different as it sounds then I don't really have to pretend.' Heading to Yada's homeroom first to help her find it before heading to mine, heading through the hall I noticed a lot of people looking at me, some with curiosity, others just a pacing glance as I walked by them. Heading into my class, I notice Hiori sitting in the back corner, deciding to go sit in front of her, I turn to face her.
"Hey, guess we got homeroom together least that means that this is a homeroom full of devils, angels and fallen angels right?" I asked her as I used my foot to push my bag under my chair.
"Ya, it looks like it, of course, if that's the case you must feel really popular." She remarked looking out the window
"What is that suppose to mean?"
"Well because your the Red Dragon Emperor, that Sacred Gear is one that could defeat both god and any of the devil kings with enough time, it's power is almost limitless, or least that's what the legends say about it." Hiori said turning her head to look at me before sighing and looking back out the window. Looking down at my hand I just sigh.
"So yea I have the Boosted Gear, but that doesn't define who I am," I said before turning back as the teacher came in, stunned I watch as Rossweisse, my Aunt Rias's Rook Came in wearing a tight deep red Suit.
"Hello and welcome to homeroom everyone, as you can guess from your fellow students around you, this is a magic based homeroom, now while we all here can use magic the principle has asked me to tell you, kids, that using your magic on school grounds is forbidden, the only exception to this is with a teacher present," She said looking around the class before spotting me, but continued to look around. "I can already tell a lot of you have been using your magic and that's good, while the fighting between the three great factions is no more, we do still have fights not to gain power, but to test ourselves, to see how far we have come as people," Rossweisse said before walking over to her desk. "Now before you all head off to your first-period class I want to address something first," Sitting on the edge of her desk she took a deep breath. "Many of you have most likely seen this in the newspapers but there seems to be a serial killer in town, while the authorities look into this I must ask you, kids, not to go out at night for your own protection, and please don't go looking for this person to be some kind of hero... we already lost one of those many years ago..." Her voice trembled a little at her own words because I knew who she was talking about.
["Yes indeed partner, she is referring to Issei, even she misses him as much as everyone else in your family, but remember this; you, as the next head of the family must do your part to heal those wounds that he left behind, by reminding them that he wouldn't have wanted them to feel this pain"] Ddraig said and I just nodded in agreement. ["Yes indeed, Seeing Rias and everyone in pain is the last thing I wanted for them."] another voice said, my heart stopped for a moment as this unknown voice rang through my ears. 'Wait who was that that wasn't Ddraig and I know I wasn't thinking those words, so who was that...and why did that voice sound so familiar.'
["Well well, It seems that he also has taken root in the gear, It doesn't surprise me actually, he is your father after all, he probably wants to keep a eye on you,"] Ddraig said and I clenched my hands at his words.
'Dad? dad's inside the Sacred Gear? How is that possible? I mean does that happen? When you die with the Boosted Gear you become part of it?' I asked myself shaking my head, but remembering what dad had said still lingering inside my head. 'If dad can reach me...maybe I can reach him..'
