Fucking with the Greek Pantheon - A DXD fanfiction

Chapter 1: Hyoudou Shosei and Goddess

'Boobs, glorious boobs!' mentally crowed Issei while eating his breakfast.

What a silly brat right? And for those who haven't watched the anime or read the light novels, shall we describe him? Issei is a sixteen year old teenager, brown haired and brown eyed despite being almost fully Japanese, he is a second year student at Kuoh Academy, a former girls school, and one of the perverted trio greatly hated by the female population for the vile words and peeping on the fairer sex. However unlike in most dxd timelines, Issei has a brother, a twin who had been born a mere hour before him. His elder brother's name was Shosei, a somewhat scholastic name that contained the word 'first' and 'calm,' Deeply appropriate for the Kuudere sibling.

"Issei dear, can you go wake Shosei up, or he'll be late for school!" called his mother.

"Okay Kaa-san!" Issei replied, leaving his breakfast half-finished, but neither did he dare to provoke his mother and so he obeyed, clambering up the stairs to wake his twin.

The aforementioned Shosei looked identical to Issei save for a few trivial differences, one he was an inch and a half taller and much fitter due life style differences and to practicing martial arts, though it didn't show when clothed, being compactly muscular, like a swimmer or a boxer. Shosei however lacked Issei's pretty amber brown eyes and brown hair that he had inherited from his parents, instead having the standard black hair and eyes common to most pure-blooded Japanese. However his cold blank stare gave him a creepy air, he was also fairly stoic in public, though thankfully never acted like his brother in regards to the fairer sex. Quiet, polite, and despite being a bit of an oddball, Shosei nevertheless took his role as the elder twin seriously, always looking out for Issei, trying to curtail his bad habits and had been beaten on more than one occasion during their first year after being mistaken for Issei by angry girls from the kendo and tennis club. It had curbed Issei's habits slightly, but he was still an irredeemable pervert.

Reaching his brother's room, Issei knocked loudly, he waited a moment. No response.

"Hey, Aniki!" Issei called out impatiently as he opened the door, making it bang against the wall behind. "Rise and shine… you're going… to be late for…" Issei trailed off and fell silent as he regarded the sight before him, stunned to his core. Shosei; responsible, stoic, no interest in girls or harems Shosei was not alone in his bed.

She was an olive skinned beauty, clearly foreign, and much older, she had to have been a least twenty-five to thirty years old, skin and features unnaturally flawless, even while all sweaty and cuddled up against his brother, both showing far more of their bodies than Issei had been mentally prepared for, the cover mostly kicked off during the night and largely forgotten. At the back of his mind Issei noted that his brother had even more scars than before, looking to have come from a blade, but then his brother was always getting hurt, however his eyes and mind were more focused on that his brother had lost his virginity before him.

"N-No way…" Issei muttered, feeling slightly uncomfortable even though there was a naked woman in front of him. The future Red Dragon Emperor then left the room, closed the door, and then loudly banged on the door. "Aniki time to wake up, you're going to be late for school!" pretending for the moment that he had seen nothing.

Several moments' silence later, he tried again.

"Okay," he heard his brother sleepily reply.

Issei faintly heard a whispered conversation, and slightly louder the sound of kissing. The door suddenly opened and Issei jumped away from the door, trying to look like he hadn't been listening in. Issei looked in the room casually, not seeing anyone else in the bed, had she snuck out? Shosei was now wearing his pyjamas, not properly buttoned up in his hurry.

"Morning Issei," said Shosei, regarding his brother's suspicious actions.

"Morning Aniki," Issei managed to say this normally, but showed some jealousy in his eyes.

Shosei sighed deeply, far more perceptive than someone his age had any want to be. "Okay, what did you see?" he asked.

Issei looked startled at being caught out so quickly, took a moment to compose himself, and then checking their parents weren't in listening distance, and thankfully they were still alone on the upper floor, Issei grabbed his brother and pulled him close. "You had a woman in there!" Issei whisper shouted. "A foreign older beauty, I'm so proud of you, but I'm so damn jealous."

Shosei's eyes widened comically at being caught out, while Issei shook him by the front of his pyjama top.

"Wait Issei, calm down, otherwise mum and dad will hear you," Shosei pleaded.

Issei eventually stopped, and promising to explain, Shosei left to have a hurried shower, dressed, skipped breakfast – no time, and scrambled into his uniform, getting the tie and buttons neat and aligned on the jog to Kuoh Academy. Hopefully they wouldn't be late, but the scarcity of students on the long path frequented by many gave them only minimal hope.

"So what was up with that hottie in your bed?" Issei asked, finally unable to hold in his curiosity, still feeling a mix of pride and jealousy. "And don't worry I won't tell mum and dad, otherwise you'd tell them if I bring a girl home."

"You're damn right I would…and thanks bro." Shosei conceded with gratitude.

"No problem, so who is she?" Issei enquired.

Shosei knew he couldn't say the truth; his brother lived in the mundane world, so he said what he could. "Her name is Perse, we met years ago, but started meeting up about six months ago for sex; she works as a nature cultivator and is from Greece originally. We like each other a lot, but she's just left a bad relationship, and I'm too young to want anything serious so we're keeping it casual." Shosei explained, hopefully that would be enough for Issei.

"Heh… So no building a harem yet?" Issei actually sounded disappointed.

"Dude, she's not even my girlfriend, we're just old friends who happened to…" he trailed off when he saw his brother trill with excitement.

"She's a fuck buddy!" Issei exclaimed, thinking of an accurate, albeit crude term to describe his brother's relationship, and this time Issei got a few glares from some girls in the distance who had overheard his outburst. Issei ducked his head in apology.

"Real smooth, Issei."

"Stow it, Aniki."

As they got closer to the school gates, Shosei noted in passing, "You know me and Perse-chan proves what I've been telling you for years."

"What do you mean?" Issei asked, not following.

"We have the same looks and I lost my virginity six months ago to a beautiful woman by not being part of the perverted trio, while all the girls at school hate you, if you keep peeping you'll never get laid in high school. Don't go blaming your lack of dates on that pretty boy in the year above us like you always do." Shosei explained, hoping to use this morning as a teaching moment.

Not that there was an issue with not being sexual active, but young males especially were self-conscious about not stamping their V-cards ASAP. Nor did Shosei appreciate the act of peeping in general or loudly reading porn mags in class, and gross leering that made the teenage girls nervous or outright frightened depending on their level of experience with males. Given that it was only recently changed into a co-ed school from an all-girls school, a high class one at that, these girls had much less experience with the opposite sex, it wasn't like some places where all of them lost their virginity in middle school. If you leered at them, you might frighten them. Thankfully the Kendo and other sports clubs were quick to provide painful consequences, sadly the perverted trio didn't learn. Thankfully they now remembered that Issei with black hair isn't Issei.

Issei didn't have a response to that, normally he'd brag about how much he loved breasts and how he's hobbies couldn't be thwarted, but seeing his brother in bed with a beautiful woman had knocked the sails out of his usual response. Reaching the school gate, they jogged down the main path, they weren't the only ones in the school's yard; it seemed they had made it in time.

"Well, at least we're not late Aniki," Issei said, pausing to catch his breath.

"Yep, so try not to get in trouble, and don't mention anything to those perverts or I'll whoop you," replied Shosei, knowing that the duo couldn't keep their mouths shut. Besides which, it wasn't their business what he got up to, though since he still lived at home, he wanted to avoid his mother's wrath about sleeping with a woman already, his father would probably cheer him on after pretending to be disappointed in order not to provoke mother.

"Y-You got it, Aniki!" Issei replied, before hurrying off.

Shosei felt eyes upon him and Issei, layered with intent, and he immediately turned towards the third year floor, meeting the blue eyes of a large chested crimson haired girl, she looked somewhat startled, and after a few awkward seconds he nodded to her briefly, retaining his default blank face before entering the school, showing no reaction in spite of how beautiful she was, she would give his occasional lover a run for her money. It wasn't surprising though as besides Gods, Devils could shape shift, maybe more-so with their ancestors, but even modern Devils were far better looking than they had any right to be.

And Devil she was, Rias Gremory he believed her name was, knowing this due to the noise made by horny males and admiring females in his year whenever she was nearby, singing praises and other nonsense. Shosei wasn't a fan of their kind, having killed more than a few of their strays while living in this city, but he didn't discriminate in general, hate the person not the race.

'I wonder why she was staring at me though?' Shosei wondered, but ultimately it didn't matter. He wouldn't get involved with the three factions of Christianity; he had far too much on his plate already to worry about a noble brat potentially looking to increase her peerage. 'Not that she can sense anything from me,' Shosei thought, his right arm touching the simple wooden bangle on his left arm, which was engraved with tiny Grecian runes that hid the wearer from all magical senses, as well as making his steps and breathing silent – a tool for hiding and fleeing. Considering his occasional lover's husband wanted him dead, this item was a matter of life and death for Shosei.

"Well, better get to class."

Shosei had no way of knowing at the time that it wasn't him that Rias was paying attention to, but his brother who possessed a sleeping sacred gear.

(Minutes earlier: Rias)

Rias casually observed Issei, the young man who according to her spells and her own senses possessed a strong sacred gear, it was dormant, difficult to sense, but with sacred gear users in her peerage, she had gotten used to the 'feel' of them. Despite his troublesome reputation, she was in desperate need for more forces to deal with her fiancé, she knew she could force a ratings game, but at present she would lose, and she had no desire to give up her purity anytime soon, especially to a vile scumbag like Rizer. She simply wanted to be loved as an individual, not by her clan and blood, but as a person; an impossibility with an arranged marriage.

Suddenly Rias felt an intense gaze focused upon her, it wasn't killing intent, but with how cold it felt, it might as well been. Shifting her gaze slightly, Rias saw the other second year that had been walking with Issei. She was startled to see they had the same face, only his hair and eyes were different. Unlike Issei, who was very expressive, his features were stoic in a manner that reminded her of a certain white haired sweet lover, however his eyes were cold in a way that Koneko could never hope to replicate. They held gazes for a few seconds, before he gave her a tiny nod and the creepy feeling vanished as he walked out of sight as he entered the school.

'What was that?' Rias wondered, a cold sweat running down her back, she couldn't sense a lick of magic in him, but in that brief moment he made her feel deeply unsettled.

'Ara, so different to his brother, what a remarkable contrast for near identical twins," remarked Akeno, the Queen of her peerage, who had been nearby, drawing close to her king as she spoke.

"Issei's twin?" Rias remarked; she didn't even know Issei had a brother.

"Yep, he leaves little impact at school, so people don't really talk about him," Akeno replied, before listing off what she knew. "Average looks and grades, no friends, but not bullied, and never causes problems in class, though he is on decent terms with the sports clubs. Apparently he regularly acts as a substitute at inter-high tournaments, and practices with several clubs somewhat sporadically."

"Oh, what clubs?" Rias wondered, knowing the perverted trio was a common issue for them. "I would think someone with Issei's face would stay clear of them."

Akeno snorted in amusement. "I hear from Sona-san he got beaten up several times by mistake during their first year, but they now know a black haired Issei isn't Issei. As for clubs, I think it was the boxing, karate, and kendo clubs, though the kendo club is all girls except for Kiba-kun, so he just spars with them. According to our knight, he's very good. He might make a good Rook or Knight piece." Akeno suggested, as despite not having magic, he would make a good piece, and she rather liked the Kuudere kouhai, he didn't stare at their breasts like most males and you couldn't make him flustered, she had tried flirting with him a few times for her own amusement, and the most she'd ever gotten was a quirked eyebrow from him. She wasn't interested in him romantically so Akeno couldn't use her A-game and cause a misunderstanding or trouble for herself, a pity as she'd like to see him blush and stammer.

"Perhaps," Rias replied non-committedly before their teacher entered and she and her classmates took their seats. She considered the matter, and while the idea had some value, especially if she could get Issei into her peerage, that cold gaze and feeling of wrongness made Rias hesitant to pursue it.

The next day a Fallen Angel named Yuuma began following Issei, and later asked him for a date so Rias forgot all about the odd-ball older brother as she took preparations to revive Issei should he be killed, otherwise she would simply offer him peerage, as if the Fallen were after him now, Issei must be close to awakening his sacred gear.

Chapter End

Chapter 2: Hyoudou Shosei and Devils

Saturday morning, shortly before noon, Shosei sleepily clambered down the stairs, stumbling into the kitchen for breakfast; Persephone-chan had kept him up most of the night, and was left sleep deprived as a result. Thankfully she had made his room soundproof when they were being intimate to avoid being heard by his family, Shosei envied such convenient magic.

"Morning sweetie, late night?" his mother asked, a beautiful woman who appeared at first glance to still be in her twenties, despite being nearly double that. Shosei envied that, and hoped that he would age so gracefully in the decades to come.

"Yeah," Shosei replied, stifling a yawn, fortunately on weekends, his mother was much less strict about bed times and sleeping in, being far less kind on school days. "Sorry."

His mother snorted, heating his breakfast, which she'd wrapped up when he hadn't joined the others, no sense letting it go to waste.

"Thanks," he replied, taking it and slowly eating, not awake enough to dedicate much focus to the task. As he ate, his mother couldn't help but notice the scars on his neck and arms, he was wearing a simple tee-shirt, black, which at least hid the ones on his torso. She felt ashamed whenever she saw them; her eldest son had gotten them six years ago when they were on holiday in Greece, her little ten year old Shosei had gone missing and been found hours later almost dead from blood loss.

Whenever she saw them, it reminded her of her failure as a parent, after all how many mothers had ten year sons with two large red sloppy line scars going from his wrist to his elbow on his right arm, and a large circular scar just above his hip, another large, long, and wide gash on the right side of his neck angling down towards his chest, and another similar scar on his left shoulder, and a large bite scar on the back of his neck like a large dog had tried to pick him up. Luckily she didn't know about the new scars he had gotten in the years that followed or she'd freak out.

Shosei looked up, feeling her gaze, and reading her expression, asked. "Should I put on a long sleeve?"

She felt ashamed again. "No sweetie, I'm sorry."

"It's fine. Not your fault."

An awkward pause…

"So where's dad and Issei?"

…that was broken by Shosei.

"Your father's fishing," she replied. "As for your brother," she paused wondering how to explain, before just coming out with it. "He is on a date."

Shosei started in shock. He paused eating, setting down his cutlery, he asked again. "He's on a what?"

"A date," his mother affirmed.

"Really?"

"Really."

"With a girl, a willing female?" Shosei continued, simply not believing a member of the perverted trio could ever get a date.

"It surprised me too; hopefully it will lead him the right direction."

"Only until he tries to get a second female for his harem," Shosei snorted.

"Don't be so pessimistic, and finish your breakfast."

"So what's her name?" Shosei asked.

"Amano Yuuma."

Later Shosei would learn his brother was no longer human.

(Kuoh Academy – 1 day after date with Fallen Angel Raynare/Yuuma)

Shosei was currently dozing in class; it was double history, which always bored him. He didn't have a mind that easily memorised names and dates, as such; he just crammed before tests and hoped for the best that he would retain it however briefly. He wasn't fully asleep and vaguely heard two girls talking in whispered voices.

"So wonder I wonder what Kiba-kun wanted with Issei?"

Shosei's ears pricked up.

"I know right, just asked him to go with him after class."

"You don't think this is the birth of Kiba X Issei do you?" the girl sounded an odd mix of disappointed and aroused.

"Urgh I hope not, though that does explain why Kiba-kun never accepts dates from us."

"If he is like that, why pick Issei, there are better looking guys with much better personalities in this school, heck even he's creepy brother would be a better choice, at least he doesn't peep."

"Guess we'll have to wait and find out, and not so loud, Shosei-san might hear you."

Shosei continued pretending to being asleep.

Shosei was rather nervous now, as he knew Kiba to be a Devil (who are known to be lustful beings) and had certainly given Shosei the impression of being gay, the pretty boy practically flirted with him when they sparred in the Kendo club, always making worrying double entendre. Not that Shosei begrudged Kiba his likely inclinations, he simply didn't like the idea of his brother being bent over and used by a Devil, though it might curb his actions around females if Kiba made him the 'woman.'

'Was that why his master was observing him earlier, did Kiba say he liked Issei?' Shosei thought, becoming increasingly concerned for his brother's chastity despite the actuality being far from this. Of course this was not the case, however readers, Shosei wasn't the best at sensing magic, and neither had he encountered a sacred gear before. As such, he hadn't noticed anything different about his brother that morning before school, save that Issei was a bit depressed, and rightly assuming his date hadn't gone well, Shosei did his bro a favour and didn't ask him how it went. Issei, now a Devil of Rias's peerage was simply too weak for Shosei to notice the racial upgrade Issei had undergone. Had he noticed, Shosei would have lost his shit, which was why Shosei merely waited on the boundary of the Occult club building, where Issei was with Kiba and a few other Devils, hoping that it wasn't a confession from the school's resident heart throb. Since Issei had no magic or high skills, he didn't need to worry about Issei being offered peerage. (Wrong again!)

While he was waiting, he noticed Sona from the student council approaching, another Devil at this school, and someone quick to complain about his occasional tardiness.

"Morning Kaichou," Shosei said politely as she drew close.

"School finished a while ago, why are you waiting here?" Sona asked.

"Issei's in there with Kiba, figured I'd wait and walk back with my brother."

Knowing Issei had been turned after being killed by Raynare the fallen angel and was likely being introduced to the rest of Rias's peerage, Sona thought it best Shosei went on ahead, otherwise Issei might blurt out the truth before coming to terms with being a Devil and the need to keep quiet about the supernatural world. Sona made a subtle gesture, casting a low level suggestion (hypnosis) spell. "They'll likely be a while, why don't you go home, and not worry about all this with the Occult club."

She waited for it to take effect, a vague order where he would effectively ignore anything to do with the Occult club, however Shosei replied. "Its fine, I'm not in a rush."

Sona stilled. Shosei had no magic or sacred gear, so why didn't he obey?

"You should head home though, who knows how long they'll be," Sona repeated, and this time Shosei sensed the spell as she made it stronger the second time.

"I will remain," Shosei repeated, this time his tone firm. "Stop bothering me."

When he felt her magic gather for a third time, he glared at her. She looked startled, but then left without a word.

(Minutes earlier: Sona)

Sona Sitri was a pure blood Devil and sister of one of the four Maou (Serafall) that ruled the underworld, and coming from nobility Sona had been raised from a young age to be a ruler, she was the heir to her clan, her co-ruling Kuoh nothing more than a test of her abilities while she lived in relative freedom in the human world for her schooling. As such she had been quick to take the role of student president at the school Lucifer had brought and rebuilt for his sister Rias, a role that often saw her butting heads with the more tardy, disobedient, or outright criminal students.

One of those students was one Hyoudou Shosei, who missed classes or turned up late in the mornings just often enough to be irritating, a far cry from his peeping twin brother, but irritating never the less, he also slept in class a lot, while maintaining his grades via last minute cramming. If not for the fact that he never caused problems for the other students she would have cracked down on him much harder. She was leaving school, and noticed Shosei waiting at the edge of the old building where Rias was based. In fact he stood just outside the magical boundary that Rias's Queen, Akeno had made to detect intruders, if she didn't know that Shosei had no measureable magic, Sona would have found his presence suspicious.

Heading over she spoke to him, learning that he was waiting for his brother to leave the club so they could return together, did Shosei know something, or had he overheard Kiba inviting Issei earlier in the day and assumed him to still be there? Unfortunately Issei was now a devil and it would do well for the twins to become less close to avoid certain secrets coming out.

She subtly cast a mental manipulation spell, he ignored it.

She tried again; he was rather rude to her.

She tried thrice, but he glared at her before she could even begin, his eyes unnaturally cold and dark, like looking into an abyss, or the pitiless gaze of a predator before the kill. She still couldn't sense anything, and that was more worrying than he shrugging off, or being aware of her hypnosis spells. She left at that point, it seemed Shosei warranted investigation.

(4:50pm)

Issei left the clubhouse shortly before the sunset, Shosei had patiently waited the entire time, or rather napped while leaned up against the wall once the annoying water devil had finally fucked off and stopped bothering him. She had tried to use a suggestion spell on him and his resistance would likely lead to her spying on him as his lack of magic and being immune was a big red flag that something was wrong. It was annoying but if she or the red head got in his way he had no issues killing them to ensure his peace while he quietly prepared for his own conflict. He had a score to settle and a wager to honour, he wouldn't tolerate the three factions of Christianity meddling with him before that.

"Yo Issei, you certainly took your sweet time," Shosei greeted as he saw Issei leave the clubhouse and approach him, his little brother looked unsettled, but not traumatised, which was something he supposed.

"Aniki?" Issei started, not expecting Shosei waiting for him after the information bombshell he had experienced in learning he had been turned into a Devil after Yuuma had killed him on their date, he still felt a cold chill as he recalled the searing pain as she stabbed his heart with her light spear, and apparently he couldn't even talk about it to his family or they'd get their memories erased. It had already happened to his parents, they couldn't remember Yuuma or that he'd been on a date, it made Issei feel isolated and alone. Which was why he was glad for his brother's presence, unexpected though it may be.

"You took your sweet time; did turning down Kiba's confession really take that long or were you having sex?" Shosei asked out of nowhere, making Issei's depressed thoughts evaporate to be replaced by physical confusion and visable horror.

"Huh? What the hell are you saying Aniki?!" he screamed. "I'm not like that!"

Shosei titled his head, and replied in his usual emotionless tone. "It's okay if you are, I will love you as your brother no matter what, though you can do better than someone like Kiba, did Yuuma-san break your heart so badly you decided to try dick?"

"Wait, where did this come from, it's not funny, Aniki!" Issei almost cried.

"Am I wrong?" Shosei remarked. "Well you were in the clubhouse with him for hours and the girls in my class said he asked you to go with him, and they believed you might be…" Shosei was interrupted as Issei covered his mouth with a tight grip.

"Please stop, Aniki. Rias wanted to talk to me and Kiba was just asked to escort me to her," Issei explained.

"WHY?" Shosei asked abruptly, his voice dark and cold, face shadowed in darkness. Issei froze, his instincts screaming danger.

"A-Aniki?" he stammered.

"Oh nothing Issei, I was just surprised," Shosei replied with a close-eyed smile that was obviously fake. "Let's head home."

"Ah, y-yeah, right."

Issei and Shosei made their way home as night fell, with little conversation as each had a lot to think about.

'Rias either wants a contract with Issei or to have him join her peerage. I don't know why for the second, but she could easily abuse his lust to get the first.' Shosei thought as they turned into a completely empty street. 'I'd better kill this Rias then, and Kiba as well to be safe.' His fist clenched tight, and briefly his black eyes flashed gold. 'Though if needs be I'm not averse to killing every devil in this town if it keeps Issei safe.' Sadly for Shosei he was too late and Issei's fate was now tied up in the three factions of Christianity.

Meanwhile Issei walk alongside him, unaware of his brother's intentions, though at least he wasn't as depressed, though inwardly worried that other girls thought he was gay like his brother assumed thanks to that damn pretty boy Kiba asking him to go with him. It didn't help that nobody but the devils remembered Yuuma, so his first date didn't exist as a counter argument.

Issei paused. Shosei glanced back doing the same.

'What was it that Aniki said back then?' Issei thought, recalling his brother's embarrassing words.

"It's okay if you are, I will love you as your brother no matter what, though you can do better than someone like Kiba, did Yuuma-san break your heart so badly you decided to try dick?"

His brother remembered he had been on a date, did Issei even tell his brother about Yuuma, had kaa-san said something after he had left for his date? And if so, why did he still remember and nobody else did?

"Hey Aniki, remember earlier when you talked about Yuuma, how did you know about my date?"

"Hmm?" Shosei remarked confused. "Kaa-san told me, obviously."

"Oh, well how do you remember…" Issei's sentence was interrupted when killing intent was pressed down upon the two and a familiar energy in the air like when he was killed by the Fallen, he went stiff with fright.

"Oh, what's this, a lowly Devil and a human alone on a dark night," remarked the deep voice as a middle-aged man in a trench coat and rather dapper hat approached them.

Shosei had likewise gone stiff, not from fear, but the realisation, Issei had been reincarnated. It must have been Rias, had she stolen his life from his or had this Yuuma person been involved, was Yuuma a stray Devil? 'I'M GOING TO KILL THEM! VIOLATE, TORTURE THEM, AND BURN THEIR FUCKING SOULS TO CINDERS!' Shosei had snapped, and not realising this as Shosei's magic couldn't be sensed thanks to the Greek bangle on his wrist, the fallen angel Dohnaseek continued to approach, creating a spear of tainted light.

"Now who do you belong to little Devil?" Dohnaseek demanded, hoping the teen was a stray. Sadly instead of answering, the newly reborn Issei was unable to answer from the fear he felt from the angelic magic.

"Oh, a stray then?" Dohnaseek assumed, before glancing to the similar looking teen, who lacked a presence entirely. "Human, I will let you live, now leave while I kill this stray devil." He cast a standard spell to erase the human's memories, but the human didn't move, his eyes hidden by the shadows and his hair, as he had slumped forward slightly, a clenched fist shaking.

"Too afraid to move?" Dohnaseek shrugged, no matter, and prepared to throw the light spear.

"Aniki, we need to run!" Issei yelled, trying to yank his brother's arm, but Shosei wouldn't budge. "We're going to be killed!"

"Die!" Dohnaseek declared and the light spear flew towards Issei's chest as fast as a bullet. Issei closed his eyes in fear, but no pain arrived, opening his eyes, Issei saw the light spear mere inches away, but halted, stumbling back and falling on his rear, Issei then saw that his brother had caught the light spear. Unseen in the dark of the night, living shadows coiled around Shosei's hand, allowing him to grasp the holy weapon safely.

"A-Aniki… how did you?" Issei was stunned, he knew his brother never lost fights, but this wasn't a human brawl. The fallen angel was also shocked. He still sensed no magic from this child, and while there were humans fast enough to dodge bullets or an angels spear, they certainly couldn't grab one without magic to protect them.

"This is impossible, what are you?" Dohnaseek demanded, creating a light spear in each hand, while also unleashing his black wings as a precaution.

"YOU. ANGEL. WHO KILLED MY ISSEI?" Shosei quietly demanded in a monstrous, layered voice that set all of the angel's instincts screaming, and then Shosei squeezed his fist and his shadows destroyed the spear and consumed the magic particles as it broke apart, while Issei quietly muttered, "Whoa!"

"Raynare did it," Dohnaseek blurted, then was stunned that he had so readily answered, as he realised that the scared one on the ground was Raynare's target. "She was supposed to spy on that one as he had a potentially dangerous sacred gear, and she killed him. I guess he was revived by one of the Devils who runs this city."

"SACRED GEAR?"

"A magic weapon given randomly to humans when they're born by God," Dohnaseek again replied. Why was he answering without hesitation, as dangerous as this kid seemed, and that creepy, vile aura, he didn't have any magic, nevertheless the fallen angel was compelled to answer.

Shosei was silent for several moments, and when he looked up he spoke normally. "Why did you try to kill Issei?"

"I thought him a stray devil, an unfettered being that-"

"I know what a stray devil is," Shosei interrupted. "Will you try again?"

Dohnaseek dispelled the light spears. "No, it was my mistake."

"Hmm. Good," Shosei nodded, helping Issei to his feet before approaching Dohnaseek. He swiftly grasped the fallen angel before he could fly away or attack by the front of his coat. "Answer me this and then I'll let you go."

"You dare-!" the fallen was incensed at this lower being grabbing at him, regardless to the earlier display of vile intent and outright wrongness.

"WHERE IS RAYNARE?" and in that moment Dohnaseek saw not a creepy dangerous child, but instead a human shaped mass of darkness with golden eyes, its form wreathed in dense arcs of lightning. "WHERE IS SHE?"

"The church!" Dohnaseek screamed, kicking out, making Shosei release his grip and knocking him to the floor, and the fallen promptly fled, having seen a hint of what Shosei was when their gazes met, now he knew why he had answered despite sensing no magic. This kid was a fucking monster.

Shosei watched him fly away, he could easily have caught him, but he got what he needed, a place and a name. Still though, to think his brother had been turned by a devil after being killed…what an unpleasant feeling. He tried sensing for demonic power, and now he felt it, the power was only a flicker, and so meagre it had escaped his notice.

"Issei - are you okay?!" called out a female voice, young, strong, tinted with concern. Shosei turned his head and saw the crimson haired girl emerge from a teleportation circle with a petite white haired girl who wore a similar expression to his default one, along with the pretty boy Kiba who was carrying a rather interesting sword. They looked about, spotting the fallen angel in the distance, flying as fast as they could. "What happened with the fallen angel, did he hurt you?" she grabbed Issei, examining him for injuries.

Issei promptly began blushing at the pretty girl's proximity and attention. "He tried, called me a stray and threw a spear at me, but Aniki chased him off."

"Aniki?" she repeated, before noticing him, sitting on the ground. "Oh, wait how did he-?"

"Yo," Shosei interrupted, slowly standing after interrupting them. "That doesn't matter at all, what does matter," he deflected the topic as he approached them, his stoic gaze turning both cold and hostile. "Is why the hell my beloved little brother was killed and turned by a lowly devil like you?"

"Wait Aniki, you know about this devil stuff?!"

Rias felt that same wrongness and danger again, while her knight and rook appeared startled and took a combat stance, ready to protect her if needed. It seemed there was more to the brother after all, Akeno would be pleased.

"I can explain."

"You better."
