Chapter 1: Greetings

Alright I was playing video games with my stepbrother and was thinking about some story ideas and it hit me. I immediately dropped what I was doing and started writing this quickly.

"Talking"

'Thinking'

Noises

"Next time that old crow asks me to hunt down one of his rebels I'm going to rip a pair of his wings out, I don't get paid enough to do this damnit!" spoke a very annoyed teen. The boy was currently holding on the back of an unconscious man who had black feathered wings protruding from his back.

The teen was Issei Hyoudou. To the average person he looked like any other ordinary Japanese teen, but that was far from it. He was a hired hitman, and today he was contracted by a friend he had known for almost 5 years now.

"What kind of leader can't keep his subjects in check, at least have a way to neutralize them before they can go rogue". Issei then took his phone out of his pocket, quickly dialing the number he waited for the person to answer.

Ring Ring

No answer

Ring Ring

Still no answer

Ring RIng

"For Christ's sake PICK UP ZAZ!" shouted the boy. He didn't like waiting for people that should have been expecting him, somewhere along the line as insulting.

After a few more seconds Azazel picked up the phone, Issei sighed as the Fallen Angel gave his same old answer to every call.

"You have reached the Governor-General of the Fallen Angels Azazel, what can the Grigori do for you today?". Issei mentally face palmed since both his hands were occupied, he always hated this part since Azazel made it a hobby to keep repeating it to him even though he doesn't answer.

"You done yet?" asked the teen in a dry voice. The Fallen Angel only snickered through the phone, making Issei more irritated that he already was.

"Hmm, not yet. You have to let it annoy you a little longer, otherwise it wouldn't be funny" spoke the Governor, even though Issei had come to see the guy as a cool uncle he hated some of the things he did. Mostly just annoying him during every job he was given.

"Can we just hurry the hell up? I got the dumbass you wanted me to bring back, he didn't even put up much of a fight before getting knocked out. You literally could have just sent someone else". The teen was not humored at all, before being sent of he was busy catching up on one of his favorite shows. One of the very few things Issei ever enjoyed other than sleep and developing new ways to use his powers was watching an anime that had been airing for a long time now. Some of the characters made him laugh due to the fact that they just come out of nowhere thinking they're invincible only to get beaten by the main character and his group through hard work and dedication.

No cheap shortcuts or random power ups that made them god tier, people that work hard to get where they are can only be given respect. Issei knew that and in the world of supernaturally powered races it took talent, hard work and dedication to get far. Except if you were a devil or vampire to name a couple, to them the only things they recognized were birth and status. Everything else was pushed off the roof into a pit of lava that had a black hole in it, well that's how Issei saw it.

"Can I just go home now? I have things I want to catch up on and something to eat, I haven't had a break all day" spoke Issei tiredly.

"Just bring the rogue back to the Grigori and collect your pay, after that you can go off and do whatever you kids do now a days". This time Issei let go of his bounty to face palm with his hand, still all he had to do was throw the guy in a cell, collect his pay and go home.

"Alright, bye" before Azazel could respond Issei hung up and put his phone away. As he began summoning a teleportation circle his friend began to wake up.

"W-Whe-" before he could finish his word Issei delivered a knee straight to the mans face, knocking him out cold once again.

"Dumbass, if you wanted to wake up do it silently so that you don't disturb anyone. Either way I was going to do that one more time anyway". Issei then finished his teleportation circle, hauling the man onto his shoulder Issei then teleported away from the alley he was in.

Grigori Headquarters, Underworld

Issei soon appeared in the middle of a main hall within a scientific looking building, most of the technology around the place seem advanced and state of the art. The only thing looking out of place was some of the Fallen Angels that wore revealing clothing.

Even though he liked to look at a woman's body, being at the Grigori for too long could be a turn off. There was no point in chasing something if it was everywhere already. And to Issei it was more of a wasted effort, at one point he woke up one morning to find a naked Fallen Angel embracing him in her sleep. Instead of waking her to ask any questions he could have had, he just slipped out of her grip, picked her up and threw her ass out of the room he was staying in for the week.

Azazel was laughing about it for the remainder of the week, which only irritated Issei further.

"Oh Issei, I see you came back from your mission. I hope everything went well" spoke a middle-aged, gruff looking man. It was someone Issei was familiar with, considering he used to have breakfast with the guy once a week before heading back to his home town of Kuoh.

"Just as much as they always do Baraqiel, can you take care of him for me while I go talk to Azazel. Maybe when I have the time I'll come back and we can hang out. I know you haven't been doing much since I left". Issei the took the guy off his shoulder and held him out towards Baraqiel who then grabbed him.

"I'll take him to the cells for you, if Azazel does anything that irritates you let me know an I'll do something about it". The both of them then began to walk away from each other. As Issei began to round a corner he was stopped.

"Also, I look forward to our guy's night" spoke Baraqiel. Issei nodded his head and gave a small smile.

"Me too man, see ya around" with that Issei disappeared around the corner.

The path to Azazel's office was a long walk littered with traps, and by traps he meant the other people who would bother him on his way to Azazel's office whenever he would walk there. One of the many he would come across was a teen around his age who had light silver hair and hazel eyes.

This particular guy was someone who had always bothered Issei about joining his team, even to the point of challenging Issei to a duel which Issei declined. Saying that he was too busy for mock battle against a crazed lunatic and would rather invest his time into finding different ways to kick his ass.

And right on schedule Vali appeared out of a room on Issei's right.

'I swear to god if he asks me about his team again imma kill him!' thought Issei angrily, all he wanted was to go home.

As fate would see it Vali began walking over towards Issei, the boy had a smile on his face. Issei raised his eyebrow as Vali looked more friendly than usual, which surprised him.

"Alright what's with the stupid smirk?" asked Issei who wasn't going to bother waiting to hear it. Vali gave a fake laugh that someone who was arrogant would give trying to state they were the hottest shit in the room.

"I just happened to recruit someone who is highly skilled in senjutsu and other magic similar to that, she's actually a rare find considering that her species is almost extinct. The offer's still open if" before he could say anything else he was caught off guard by searing pain in his stomach. He looked towards Issei who was no longer there, instead he was already a few meters behind Vali. As Vali was holding his stomach Issei turned his head to face him.

"The answer is the same as always Vali, I don't have time to do whatever you plan on doing with your band of misfits. Now if you kindly fuck off for the rest of the day I would appreciate it" is then walked off leaving Vali to recover by himself.

[I told you not to do it Vali, he has already made up his mind on joining your team. At this rate all you are going to do is annoy him] Spoke a powerful being that resided with Vali in the form of a sacred gear.

"Yeah, yeah Albion, I know that. Usually, he doesn't bother to hit me, looks like he finally grew a pair" after he finished his sentence he ended up clutching his stomach once again as Issei had appeared in front of him with his fist dug deeply in his stomach.

"Again?" asked Vali who was barely able to speak due to his voice becoming weak. Issei removed his fist from Vali's abdomen, a green aura coated his fist.

"Keep your damn mouth shut until I leave the area fully, you're not the only person I can hear ya know" he said as he looked over to a room that was locked. There was no sound being released from the room, unless you were Issei who could hear everything far better than his friend due to his training on increasing his senses.

"Fucking weirdo has her dressed up in a dog costume, ew" said Issei in a visible disgust. Vali looked at the room with a raised eyebrow.

"I'll see ya around Vali, tell the others to keep training would ya". Vali nodded as the two kept staring at the door to the room.

"Sure, I'll catch you later. Don't get weak on me Issei!". Issei lifted his fist once more to Vali's horror, the teen quickly turning away.

"Never mind, I'm going to the training fields". Vali quickly walked off, Issei just shook his head and continued on his way to Azazel's office. At this point he was already too tired to deal with anyone else.

After a few minutes he found his way to his destination, two large black doors that had a golden inscription. Issei opened the door and walked in, Azazel was casually leaning back into his chair.

"Issei boyo, how are you doing?" Asked the Fallen Angel, Issei was already fed up today.

"5 seconds away from blowing up this place, can I just go home for once!". Issei's response didn't catch Azazel off guard, but it did sadden him.

"Chill out kid, I have your pay right here" Azazel then tossed Issei a bunch of bills clipped together. Issei took them out and counted them, after a few seconds he folded it back up and pocketed it.

"For once you didn't try to play around with my money, if you have another job that needs to be done then send me an email. I'll see ya around". Issei then teleported out of the room, he was actually relieved that Azazel didn't try to pull a fast one.

Kuoh

Issei appeared in the living room of an apartment, it was mostly desolate other than a couch, table, large screen T.V., a few plants and a computer in the corner. The rest of the layout was normal which included a kitchen, 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and laundry room. It wasn't the most luxurious place money could buy, but it was cozy enough for him and was affordable.

Issei took his trench coat off and tossed it in the was along with the rest of his body armor, the outfit had been stained by the blood of the Fallen Angel he had kneed in the face.

"Finally, some peace and quiet. I can actually do something for once". Issei then walked to his kitchen which he had kept well stocked, looking through the fridge for something decent. After looking through it he took out some leftovers from last night, nothing tasted better than a good pizza.

Heating it up in the oven Issei walked over to the couch and turned on the T.V., luckily for him his show was on.

"I'm not going to speak too soon, if I do then I'll just get pissed" Issei tried to calm himself down before getting ready to enjoy his free time.

Knock Knock

If Issei could unleash all his power into explosion capable of destroying the world he would, but he didn't specialize in that type of attack. Issei angrily sat up and placed his food down on the table, people didn't ring his door bell often only because the last person who did woke up in a different city.

"Hold up, I'm coming. Why can't I be left alone today". Issei walked over toward the door and opened it, and to his surprise it was one of his classmates from Kuoh Academy. It was one of the few female classmates he had become friends with. She had long brown hair in pig tails, she also had larger breast than the average Japanese girl.

"Mury do you know what time it is?" asked Issei who was just tired and wanted some time for himself before having to go back to school. This wasn't the first time she had knocked on his door, considering the fact that she lived with her parents down the hall. The first time she had knocked it was around 4 months ago during their first year of High school, she had asked him if she could stay over for a bit since she got into an argument with her parents that day. Her other friends were either busy or out of town so she had asked Issei since she seen him enter the room a few times before finding out that he lived there.

"Yeah, I had knocked earlier and no one responded. So I thought to wait a bit for until I came back" she spoke in a sad tone. He could tell that she was distressed, it wasn't like she always came to him when something bad happened. But he was the closest person to her and he didn't mind, only because she was a cuddler. He found that out when he had let her stay the night and woke up wrapped in her arms. There were times where he would and wouldn't allow it, and he just felt lonely that night.

"Well I wasn't home for most of the day, I had some work to do and only just got back. Let me guess, you got into an argument with your parents again?" asked Issei as he leaned in to get eye level with her. He figured that she was upset but what got him was that her cheeks turned red.

"No, I just wanted to come over" she said while facing away from Issei. It was funny to him, he could have guessed it after a few tries or not.

"I could tease you about it, but I'm kind of tired and only get about 45 minutes before I have to go to sleep so come on in. I'll be in the living room watching anime if you need me, help yourself to anything you find in the kitchen". Issei then opened the door and let her in, she looked around as if she was looking for any differences.

"Thanks Issei" she gave a grateful bow, he just looked back at the couch and went to sit down. He wrapped the blanket around himself and laid down.

"Do you need anything? Because imma go to sleep" he asked as he was yawning. Murayama looked over at Issei before turning back around to hide her face.

"No, I'll be fine" she said not realizing Issei had already fallen back down. He was tired and couldn't keep himself awake. Issei couldn't be bothered to do anything else before falling asleep.

This was a quick thought story idea that I put into reality, I have other ideas but ruled them off as of now. If you want to see more or don't go ahead and give me your opinion. I think I'm going to bed now.
